Comments on the WEB

Asalaam Alakium Brothers and Sisters

Thank you very much for your creating the website “Submission.” I took Shahada one year ago yesterday and Allah has answered my prayers that I be guided in this deen and that my knowledge be increased. Many of the issues to address appear to be written specifically for me – answering many of my numerous questions, even those that I had not yet formed.

I am especially thankful because many of my questions I have not presented to others because I feared they would not be well received.

I often questioned why the Prophet’s name was part of the Shahada and why we said Amen at the end of Al Fatiha when I had read that Amen refers to “Amen Ra” from Egyptian cultural legacy and idolotry/polytheism. I especially questioned the hadiths many of which are derogatory towards

women and appear to promote su-perstitions.

Thank you very much...I plan to read and study with the Quran as my guide….

May Allah bless you in your work.
Sincerely, your sister in faith.

You guys are beautiful. I am going through your site right now and opening my eyes for the first time in a long time. This makes a lot of sense, what you are saying. I even have an Arabic friend who can back me up on your explanations of grammar in the Koran.

I just wanted to thank you. Is there any way I can subscribe to a news-letter of some sort? Your organiza-tion is doing a wonderful job. And best of all, what you have to say cannot be disputed. Allahu Akbar.

I have been Muslim for about 13 years and have even lived in the Middle East for two of those years. I have not been this excited about my religion since I first converted to Islam from Christianity. Many of my frustrations with understanding the religion have really

been the parts that mortals have imposed that stem from traditions etc and not from Allah. My husband has not been able to adapt his thinking as easily. Is the submission info on Hadiths and topics from the web site available in Arabic?

Please add me to your email list and any newsletter will be wel-comed.

Dear brothers and sisters,

I just want to let you know that I am very pleased with your home page. I am reading, learning, and printing from this page almost every day and spreading the mes-sage as much as I can to all my family and friends. I am studying hard and most of my questions have been answered.

Thanks for all your efforts for making this page.

God bless you all.
