I know I asked in my original post, but just wondering about celebrating birthdays. A girl at (jehovah witness) was born into a muslim family, her father wasn't an arab but anyway she said I shouldn't celebrate birthdays cause I am Muslim. She really irritates me, cause what I have learned is nothing like she knows or says she knows.

Please give me some advice cause my 50th birthday is coming up and I want a party....

This has been a debate and always probably will. Those who are against it argue that innovative holidays are forbidden and that Allah SWT gave us 2 holidays and there is no evidence of the Prophet SAWS celebrated birthdays but there is a Hadith that says holidays other than what Allah SWT blessed us with is haram

Is there anywhere i can get this hadith so i can push it in her face, she just doesn't leave up on me, and she never was a practicing muslim and she is making my struggle harder.

There are those who also say that it is acceptable if it is a small celebration with family and if it is for the purpose of thanking Allah for the blessing of life

Honestly, sometimes it's better not to argue with someone who's set in their ways. The Qu'ran tells us:

And say to My servants (that) they speak that which is best; surely the Shaitan sows dissensions among them; surely the Shaitan is an open enemy to man. (17:53)

The Prophet (saws) told us:

Whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him say what is good or remain silent. (Bukhari)

If you do not celebrate it as an eid, a holiday, but rather as an opportunity to give thanks and praise to the Almighty for granting you another year of life to worship Him, then I can't see what's wrong with it. But if it's just an excuse for a party, then probably not.

Some random guy in a bagel shop gave my daughter Abigail $100 today because she was able to recite Surah Al-Fatiha. :blink: He told her he'd give her more if she came back Sunday and recited another Surah for him

[Staashi 371]

Wow! That's alot of money? What are you all going to do with it? Charity or something like that?

These days, with neither of us working, we are our own charity, unfortunately! I'll probably use it to buy her some much-needed new clothes and shoes.

Dhull Hijja's almost here

Ibn `Abbas (ra) reported that the Prophet (saws) said: “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” The people asked, “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah?” He said, “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight, giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing.” (Al-Bukhari)

Jen - I am still in LOVE with Squeaks!!!! She's so pretty. I would just love to cuddle with her. I want a kitty so bad but it's not really possible right now.

[UmmSqueakster 54]

If you're ever in Minnesota, Squeaky is open and available for cuddling. She's an attention monster and would just love more people fawning over her

Are you thinking about getting one once Enzo is a littler older? Probably a good plan - Squeaky increadibly patient and is great with just about everyone including toddlers, but even babies are a bit too much for her, especially when they reach the grabby stage. I'm really hoping that when we have kids, she'll gradually get used to the idea of a strange little human invading her space.

In the mean time, if you have any free time (as a new mom, I imagine you have oodles of that ), could you volunteer at a cat rescue? We're only allowed one kitty in our apartment, so I work a few hours each week at a no kill cat rescue. I get to cuddle lots of kitties in between scooping poop and washing floors. Plus, it would be a good way to get to know a cat's personality so that when the time is right, you'll know just what cat to get.

I wish I had time and all the other things necessary for a sweet kitty. E loves the kitties (we saw some at our friend's house), but he'll be scaring up a storm in no time - and no cat will be safe!!! hehe.
