    The next time she sends you nudes, reply with "astughfirullah"

    Arb question but can you explain the below:

    The second Caliph, Umar, related in a hadith

    I'm assuming Caliph is some form of ruler/title? Hadith a memoir or letter?

    Nice thread.

    Just one thing wrt fasting. My observation: It seems to me that during this period muslims eat MORE than any other time. Doesn't this period call for abstinence instead?

    Caliph-Ruler

    Hadith is everything that is recorded by the Sahabah (Companions) of the Prophet (S.A.W) statements, actions etc

    See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadith

    A Caliph is the head of state in a Caliphate, which is essentially the name of an Islamic state or system of government under Sharia law.

    Hadith are writings, anecdotes or statements associated with the prophet Mohammed. They also have a very high standing in Islam, and is studied in parallel with the Quran.

    That's how I remember/understand it. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me.

    Why do some muslim men have dark marks on their foreheads?
    Is it self inflicted?

    Some Muslims also believe that on the day of judgement, this bump will particularly fluoresce an immense white light.
    Prayer bump = 1
    Head lamp = 0

    Where can i get one of these prayer mats?

    Apparently some men deliberately use rougher mats (eg straw mats) and rub their heads harder to get this mark since its a sign of piousness.

    Also, some men have similar marks near their ankles.
