Welcome, Marhaba, to this humble page about Islam.  Islam is the faith of six million Americans and 1.5 billion people worldwide.  Although we are often divided, we all share one thing in common: La ilaha il Allah wa Muhammad ur Rasul Allah There is no deity but Allah and Muhammad is the messanger of Allah A Muslim is a Muslim through their faith in one God and by following the example of the last prophet of God, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Right now, this site has next to nothing.  However, it is finals time here at UW-Madison, which means I will be doing anything and everything I can think of to put off studying. InshaAllah (God willing) I hope to add a small set of articles that I'll write about my views as a European American Muslimah.  I would also like to make a section specifically for converts, with all the good articles that helped me a lot when I first became Muslim, as well as my own advice. My husband will also be writing some articles that I will post here.  He has a lot more knowledge then I do and has taught me so much about this deen. Ok, back to writing my paper.  More in the days to come, inshaAllah.

Updates December 9th: A section with links added to assist in learning short Surahs for Salat. December 4th: Added an introduction to Salat.  Took me over 3 hours, so I hope you all enjoy it (although no one will come to this site as I haven't told anyone about it yet, but hey, just in case you stumbled on it, check it out.

Thanks to the fantastic (sister?) who made the background set that I'm using for my page.  It makes it look so much more professional then I could have ever done, html challenged that I am.  Click on the name to visit her site.
