IslamicAnswers.com: Islamic Advice

As-salamu alaykum dear readers,

The best way to submit your question is register, log in and write a draft. Please do not write your questions in the comment forms on other people's questions, as those will be deleted.

Important note:  maintain your privacy! Sometimes people submit their question, then after the question has been published and answered they ask us to delete it because they afraid that someone who knows them will see it. By policy, we do not delete posts after they have been published. So if you want to keep your identity private, I suggest the following:

1. Don't use your real name.
2. Change some of the important details so that your identity will not be recognizable. For example, if you got married in the masjid five years ago, you might say you got married at a banquet hall seven years ago.
3. Change your location. If you live in Egypt, you might change it to Palestine or UAE, for example.

How to Submit Your Question as a Draft:

1. From the home page, click on the link on the right side to register (it's just beneath the image slider). Make sure you write down your username and password.

2. Log in.

3. On the menu bar on the left side of the page, click on "Posts", then beneath that, click on "Add New."

4. Write a title at the top, then in the big text box, write your question. Don't worry about writing the excerpt, adding tags, choosing categories, etc. You can do those things if you like, but if not then the website staff will do it.

5. If you need to save it and finish it later, click the "Save Draft" button at the top right.

6. When you are finished, click the blue "Submit for Review" button on the upper right.

That's it! Your question will be placed in the queue and the IslamicAnswers.com staff will publish it in turn.

Thank you brothers and sisters for your readership and loyalty. Here is one of my favorite duas, which was given by the Messenger of Allah Muhammad (peace be upon him) and is included in the wonderful book, "Fortress of the Muslim":

O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant; my forelock is in Your hand; Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just; I ask You by every name belonging to You that You have named Yourself with, or revealed in Your book, or taught to any of Your creation, or have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release from my anxiety.
