Not gloomy Islam.

I wistfully note that in our society tension between Muslims and other citizens sometimes arises. Many people associate Muslims with gloomy people who fanatically repeat their prayers and are incapable of thinking about anything other than about the literal fulfillment of the Koran postulates and intense tracking of others. Such people usually wear long beards and are dressed in short… Read more

Acceptable boundaries in relation to religion.

     In a secular, democratic state, which we call ourselves, religion is separated from the state, citizens have freedom of religion, all faiths are equal.

     These are fundamental principles.

     But in everyday life, the boundary between what is permitted and forbidden to draw is very difficult. It is often not prescribed in laws, but exists …

Rational sacrifice.

     Every year on Kurban Ait hundreds of thousands of Muslims in our country in one day, slaughter thousands of heads of livestock: sheep, horses, and cows.

     I have nothing against the rite itself. Its original meaning was to help others, to do good to people. This emphasizes the humanity of Islam.

Hadith about a blind old man

            Today my mother came to visit and told me another hadeeth (she is Muslim, a haji).

            In the city of Medina, where the Prophet Muhammad spent his last years, a blind old man, a Jew, was living by begging. He did not like Islam and Muslims. Every day, …

Religious holidays

            On the eve of Christmas and New Year, I often hear from the newly minted Muslims (that is, those who have recently become so) calls not to celebrate these holidays, to boycott them.

            It is sad to hear this.

Superstition.

     I do not believe in different types of superstition.

     I cannot understand how three grams of saliva emitted by me through left shoulder could change trajectory of brick, which is going to fall on my head around the corner. 

     What is the connection between them?!

     Or which troubles can a grandmother with …

Merry Muslim woman

           I know one Muslim woman. Cheerful, resilient woman, the one with big laugh, a wonderful narrator of anecdotes, beautifully dressed. At the same time she keeps all the commandments of the Koran, prays five times a day, goes to the mosque on Fridays, several times went for Hajj.

           Once I …
