    first of all since im also a muslim whos from egypt let me start by saying Ramdan Kareem. and let me add some info. You can not date in a way. as in u can randomly meet a girl and start dating her thats just a custom in western countries. everywhere else u first must get permission from her parents. and in egypt and lebanon u must recite the fatiha. the fatiha means the openning and in its basically is this in arabic to english

    A'uzu billahi minashaitanir rajim I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Satan
    Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
    'Al-Hamdu lillahi Rabbil-'Aalamin (1:1) Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,(1:1)
    'Ar-Rahmaanir-Rahiim (1:2) The Beneficent, the Merciful.(1:2)
    Maaliki Yawmid-Diin; (1:3) Owner of the Day of Judgement.(1:3)
    'Iyyaaka na'-budu wa 'iyyaaka nasta-'iin.(1:4) Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help. (1:4)
    'Ihdinas-Siraatal-Mustaqiim- (1:5) Show us the straight path,(1:5)
    Siraatal-laziina 'an-'amta 'alay him- (1:6) The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; (1:6)
    Gayril-magzuubi 'alay him wa laz-zaaalliin. (1:7) Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray. (1:7)

    second thing which i recently noticed is the many many many many people even some muslims think Allah is the name of our god. Well to inform u Allah is just god in Arabic and thats who its expected to be said like it was written. but our god is the god as the jews's and blockedistians's.
    Third this is wat makes ramaddan the hardest for the married people. during ramadan u cant have sex at all. some people might be like whatever and some people would be like omg. but its part of it. notice how i said married, if u have a girlfriend and her parents dont know about u or u havent met them then dont waste your time. BTW to any one who needs the callender for wat time exactly u can eat in the morning and at sunset pm me i can send u a copy because it changes about a minute or two everyday. and before i forget u maybe thinking wat do i get after all this. well after the last day of ramadan is the Eid el fetre. basically it started out as a feast but it now its a time for family, feast, gifts, and having fun, within muslim boundries of course.

    so basically Ramaddan is a time to test your patience and basically tame your soul. now for part 2 lol i gotta be nice cuz i dont wanna break my fast

    this is not to be made offensive all those blockedistians out there but since this guy is white and hates blacks im assuming hes an iggnorant blockedistian. first of all let me start by saying you are one of the most ignorant people i have ever met. now u wanna talk about that quote. well let me start. all these quotes were translated from arabic to english so their english translations are decieving unless uread the rest. "show your might to non muslims." it means show non muslims how even with our rules which some say are too strict we enjoy life how we try to be riteous and help each other out in other words. one time i was at the mall this old man who u could tell was muslim due to his attire looked like he was in pain litrally he just like crashed on top of a bench. of course no one cared except me and my friends and we helped him out. but before that i was in florida this man was jewish and was handicap and he fell out of the car and couldnt get on his wheelchair me and my dad didnt even ask we just helped him and asked if he was ok. unlike wat many beleive true muslims love to help everyone that is kinda and or needs it. second quote "Islam was spread by the sword, u become one of them or u die"
    ok the true translation of that statement is "islam survived through god not men's swords." i saw a man say that on t.v. an i was mad because he totally twisted the the surah (part of the koraan) and wat that statement means (this is the no offense part) that throughout time such as when yemen tried to kill Prophet Muhammed (sallahl alleh wa sallam) and mecca and when the kurish tried to kill Prophet Muhammed (sallahl aleh wa sallam) our even later to the crusades yes blood was shed swords were used but allah ultimitally decided if we would win or loose.

    Finally something i learned throughout my life why Islam even with these so called "terrorists" is still the fastest growing religon nearly 3 times as fast as any other. Because Islam makes your soul humble. it keeps u away from the evils in life alcohol, having one night stands, becoming a criminal and centers your mind on making your life better and thanking Allah. If you dont know this blockedistian childran and alot of adults hate going to church sundays while musilims love praying on fridays, because muslims love feeling like they are one with Allah.

    please leave any replys u have and if u have any private question or would like the calender pm me , and rep if u think i deserve it

    I think GR should make a rule not to post religion and politics threads in the forums. I notice these threads they all end up in flaming and not respecting each other members. Everyone wants to be right and impose their views and experiences on others.

    As religious everyone must know what to do and we dont need to know what they are doing. Posting religion views contradicts all the levels of societies world wide since GR is an open world public forum.
