		<description>As&#039;salaam Aleykum,

Wow! What happen to either speaking good or remaining silent. I love UmmYousuf and May Allah reward her efforts and that of her families. And all parents, siblings, extended relatives going thru any hardship. It is indeed hard and stressful and to keep a positive attitude and genuine smile is definitely a nimah from Allah azza wajal.


:) Lighten up Muslims and smile more.</description>

		<description>Jazaakillaahu Khaira Umm Yousuf :].
I really love your optimism. It seems to be a dwindling commodity these days.
May Allaah azza wa Jal grant you and your entire family Sabr during these times.
And may you be a SHINING example and a beacon of hope for everyone around you.
Aameen :D
When Allaah gives you pumpkins, make pumkin pie. Aw kamaa yaquloon =P

Hoping to see you at A Heart Serene this February :]
(Smashing good class, I say. This will be the second time I take it, bi idhnillaah)

Wassalaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh

		<description>^agree

Bro, it seems to be becoming tough to even highlight Muslim POSITIVES!  So, any more negative comments on a positive post, and they&#039;ll be simply removed.

If you have nothing good to say, just make dua&#039; for the sister and her child.</description>

		<description>I agree... such comments are in very bad taste and reflect an obsession with negativity, soo ad-dhan, and pessimism that is not befitting the Muslim character as exemplified in the optimistic and merciful example of our Prophet, sallallah alehi wasalam.</description>

		<description>Salam

Reading thru Umm Yusuf&#039;s story, I wonder if she would have have taken shahadah if she had come across an article like this before reverting and seen a comment like this?   We are talking about an article written by a sister dealing  with a sick child, which by itself makes comments like these out of order.  Secondly, the sister is NOT saying that America is the ONLY country on earth where Muslims can practice.  PLEASE READ WHAT SHE SAID MORE CAREFULLY.  Thirdly, the sister is talking about what muslims can do POSITIVELY here in the USA.  What do you think American muslims should do, just sit back and complain and do nothing else?   There&#039;s a lot of bad things happening against good muslims all over the world, not just in America.  And if you can be bothered to read the rest of this site, you will see the huge support being shown to Sister Aafia Siddiqui.</description>
