Friday, Jumuah in Arabic, is derived from al-Jam which means, gathering. Friday is the greatest day of the week and has many virtues. On this day, Allah created Adam, placed him in Paradise on Friday, and taken out on Friday. Moreover, the Last Hour will begin on a Friday.
 
    We have listed several virtues of Friday as revealed to us by Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Clck here to read more...

    Attending interfaith meetings at the local community center doesn't mean you sugar coat the message nor does it mean you somewhat change the wordings around so it appears to be "appealing." 
    We shouldn't be afraid to be Muslims. We can't. There is nothing wrong with men growing beards and women covering their bodies. In fact, we should be proud. Why?
