    Hello all I am new and have not had much to do with Islam and decided to join a forum to talk with Aussie Muslims.

    I am a Christian and have found it very disappointing the way the media misrepresents everything in our world so I decided to join a forum to discover for myself what you guys are really like. Although I have a christian belief myself I happily accept others beliefs and try to be respectful of that.

    I saw you guys have some different customs than I am used to. Hopefully I will not accidentally offend anyone, until I learn what i can cant do here lol.


    I figured knowledge brings understanding, understanding brings patience, patience and understanding brings peacefulness and peacefulness brings about happiness.

    no such thing as unicorns, and you can never get to the end of a rainbow- everybody knows that!

    Welcome to the forum Spiritlight, enjoy your stay
    Hopefully you benefit from the forum!
    Whoever remembers death often will find a small amount (of worldly things) sufficient for him; and whoever includes his speech in his deeds will speak little.

    Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful. (Surat al Isra': 27)

    Sounds fun. I haven't tried that before.

    One thing I do know about unicorns is, it is one creature a wise man will not play leap frog with.

    So how long were you a student of Yoda?

    Singapore: oppresses Muslims, bans athaan, bans hijab in schools, prevents building of madrassahs or muslim schools, puts limit on the percentage of Muslims allowed in each apartment building, and bans Muslims from joining Singapore's elite military forces. Singapore; Israel's best buddy!
