  • How many times do we really ask Allah for His forgiveness everyday (and when we say it, our hearts should reflect upon the statement deeply and consciously as opposed to saying "astaghfirullah" 100 times without even thinking about what you are saying or without due concentration, humility and sincerity)?

  • I would also like to point out that there is a pervasive misconception about Muslims that imams spend their sermons bashing other religions, that is completely false, I've never heard a respected sheikh outright denigrate Christianity like so many Westerners think, but maybe that's because Muslims don't consider other religions a threat the way Evangelicals and some ultra-Orthodox Haredi Jews think of Islam and Muslims, to many of them unfortunately, Islam is the new communism (astaghfirullah), the new ideological battle. nadia86 on January 14, 2009 at 07: 23 PM
