  • Embraced Islam but has ten wives

    My question goes thus a man was a Kaffir before acceptance of Islam. Before accepting Islam, he was married to 10 wives with children. All the wives and children accepted Islam with him.

  • Embrace Islam, the religion of tolerance

    I've been Catholic from birth. My religion has taught me to show the other cheek. I am getting to know a Muslim girl 'better', even in the sense of possibly converting and marrying her, so I would like to know whether I can apply the same principles? Or does converting to Islam mean I have to apply the Jewish principles of 'an-eye-for-an-eye'?.. More

  • Can one retaliate if harmed when forbidding evil?

Once we have a relationship with The Lord he then controls our lives and helps us keep his commandments. 3. There is an evil against The Lord, if we are not with The Lord and.. More
