Ya Ali Madad Shams, Thanks for your complements.... They are much appreciated :-) I can not say what's going to happen in future, no matter how much my husband or myself plan. The only thing we can do is pray to God to hold our Hands and help us go through any difficulties we may face in our lives. ...

YAM, I would think if you are living in Pakistan, you would do as Pakistanis do? Isn't That what Mowla recommends? If you are in Rome, do as Romans do. The question is, being part of any religious or non religious festives is good or bad? If you are in India, would you be part of someones happinness...

Yam Everyone, I am not offended at all.

YAM Shams and Star Munir, My kids are not going to receive Baiyat until they decide they want to. As for Confusion of faith, it's better to get right answers then be taught how to hate the other religions or casts. Or mislead by wrong information just because the parents don’t understand other peopl...

Ya Ali Madad, I have always wondered about why women are not allowed to the final Funeral ceremonies. I have never gotten an answer that really explains why. I can understand why women where not allowed at Prophet Muhamad's (Salwaat) time. In theory, during those days, women where considered as weak...

YAM kmaherali, No, we don't have children yet. Inshallah when we do, they will be baptised as Catholic Christians. They will be exposed to Ismailism too. My husband or myself have no problems explaining the differences and the benefits of having Faith and believing in God, Allah. When they are at a ...
