Racism within the muslim ummah!!

Salaam,

I just wanted 2 post sumthin thats recently been on my mind and that iv been seeing alot lately. When i bring up the topic of racism you probably think oh yeah im talking about how everyone is hating on muslims and how muslims are always the victims of attack in the media and in society. This is true however, i feel that no intelligent person believes someone of a certain skin colour is less capable or less intelligent than another person of a different skin colour or race.

Right now I need some sort of closure.

I need something to think about something. Anything.

Reading the Quran

published by Farhana on 22 May, 2006 - 22:18

Assalamu-alaikum

I'm a newbie Smile

Was wondering how much people read the Quran, and what tips people have for reading more. I sometimes read everyday for months...then once in a while...then nothing for months...

I read other Islamic books/article so I do still feel in-touch with the Quran...but I think your relationship with the Words of Allah can get lost in the shuffle of everyday life...

What do you guys think? What's your relationship with the Quran like?
