Beauty and the Beast
How many times did you hear questions like these: “Are you beautiful?” - “Is she beautiful?” - “Is he handsome?” Oh! Please don’t count! These questions are very common in our daily life because beauty is one of the magical words in the human vocabulaire, regardless the language, since humans tend to seek things that [...]

Farewell Ramadan :(
As always, Ramadan month just whizzed away :(
It is amazing how those 30 days just tend to fly!
It is as if Ramadan is telling us:"Catch me if you can!"
Note: with all due respect to Ginger Bread Man from the Ladybird stories...although it was "You can't catch me! You can't catch me!".
Yesterday, after praying the late night prayers in the Masjid (Mosque) i just rested my back against the side wall of the Masjid within the praying area and sat there for like 10 minutes.

Even In The Heat Of Battle...
About 1400 years ago in a battle called OHOD this happened...
In the aftermath of the battle where the Muslims were defeated, bodies of the deceased martyrs and many wounded Muslims were all around the battlefield.
One of the Sahaba (Followers of Prophet Mohammad) seeing the wounded laying on the battlefield with the sun up in the sky on such a hot day, he brought a bottle of water and went off searching for the wounded to give them some water.

A Band In The Mosque!
This happened last night in the Mosque (Masjid) I pray Taraweh in (in Qatar).
Note: The following is in terms of "the meaning of" not literally said or done.
Between the Taraweh prayers (11 in total), the Imam (Islamic cleric leading prayer) stops for a 10-15 minute lesson. Yesterday, the lesson was very different...
As we finished praying, the Imam went up to the Mic and said that we have a guy with us in the Masjid that is from a charity organization and that he wants to make a few announcements.
The guy went up to the Mic and made a few announcements of the achievements done with all the money collected over the past 3 years and so on.
After that the shock happened…

DOES MASTURBATION BREAK RAMADAN FASTING?
Since Ramadan is coming in the late summer/early fall this year and the day is known to be longer and thus more boring than winter fasting days I think of things people can do to 'entertain their fasting' or 'salli syamhom' as they say and since I was wondering about the simple pleasures that we're allowed and not allowed to do during Ramadan days I started to wonder if masturbation breaks the fast... So? read more »

An important question to Abdel Moneim Mahmoud
Dear Moneim,
As an expression of friendship and respect to my friends and some visitors, I have put an end to the “Islam Electronica” project, and have removed both the video and MP3 file.
If you take the time to read the discussion that took place during the Project, you’ll realize that it occasionned a variety of opinions: some were cross, some were surprised but smiled at me, some were very happy, some were opposed but with a mind open to discussion, and… finally there those whose comments expressed nervosity and stiffness. read more »

Islam Electronica Project
Closed / مغلق
****************************
This is an open discussion aiming at understanding our relationship to modernity. Islam is in many ways hypermodern.
I, as a an artist, wish to participate and celebrate my religion, just as other muslims use new technologies to discuss, celebrate and explain Islam. If Islam uses Flash Animations, PHP, LINUX and Chatrooms, can I sing and use my electronic music tools ?
Thanks for watching this video and participating in a friendly way.

المرأة حرة : و ماله /Free Women: So What ?
This 3rd Cell Phone video addresses women’s rights issues: freedom of faith, way of life, dress.. Muslim? Great. Christian? Perfect. Jewish? Shalom. Veil? Why not. Niqab (1) ? Be my guest. No Niqab? Your choice. Atheist? Whatever. You’re ready to die for God? It’s your life. You would die for Adel Emam? Who wouldn’t…
