imz has a good idea, lakini I'm assuming the equipment used to transmit the video feeds is the same for ladies and gents. That means to have a totally separate media room for ladies would require doubling the equipment. However, a password to access the ladies' cams might work. Then the female volun...

I get the reason why they're there. When it's ladies only majlis, the majlis is relayed onto the screen in other halls as well. But there definitely should be a system where if there is input from the gents side, the ladies cam is automatically disabled or something similar. Let's just hope the men ...

Please refer to the Quran, 41:9-12. Allah describes the creation of the earth, then the mountains and everything in the earth, then the heavenly bodies... I'm not saying it's necessarily chronological. Maybe God likes describing it in that order for a reason. What reason? I don't know. Time for tada...

I don't get what you're trying to say. The qur'an also says that the universe was created in 6 days/periods of time...

Oh, and if you'll look through the thread, you'll note that nobody said yeast IS alcohol.

the similar words simply mean that yeast can be used to make alcohol and not that yeast is alcohol or always makes alcohol. in fact only one species of yeasts among the over 1500 known species is known to produce ethanol. The important thing is that the species we use to make bread DOES produce eth...

the doc clearly said JUST IRON TEST ,next time I will be sure to record the conversation .Also please know that I wasnt having these tests done for a first time let me guess. a thallasemia/HbSS patient testing for excess iron to see if you needed chelation? That's the only place where a FBP would n...

About the hijab, true, we need to stick to our principles. Rem, these nurses are not ithnasheri. Some may not even be muslim. In their culture, it's perfectly normal to expose arms, and other parts of their bodies, so they don't understand why we're making a fuss. Time for a lil da'wah, don't you se...

Unfortunately, qamar, my lesson seems to have been wasted on you. Open an Arabic dictionary that lists words by common roots and you'll find khamr and khamira under the same root, khamara. Yeast on its own is not haram. And it is NOT alcohol (as supposed by sis sadiqa). It is, in fact, used as dieta...

Well, in reference to misdiagnosis/mistreatment, you might be interested in knowing that some investigations/imaging modalities/medications are either not available here or are expensive so they are used infrequently. Diagnoses are limited by the methods at your disposal, and treatment limited by av...

While we ponder over that... Alcoholic drinks in arabic are called khamr. Yeast is خميرة, khamira in Arabic (Hamira in kiswahili). daaru in gujrati is alcohlic drink daaram is fruit Here's a simpler explanation using English to demonstrate what Mahdi was referring to. As an example, let's take the ...

I was told it was for youth who are soon to be married or recently married. The contact person in dar was targeting the engaged and newly married...

For hospitals however, luckily Ebrahim Haji employs a lot of non-muslim staff. So female staff are not limited to muslims alone. This solves the contradiction that you seem to be indicating. No, it does not. The contradiction is that Islam is a religion meant to be universal. That means its rules a...

Moonbeam, you're welcome :) I'm glad I could be of use. As for the other issues raised by Insaan 1. slow service? lol, hospitals world wide are known to have long queues. It's worse in Tz coz there's only one doc for 25000-36000 people. 2. i tried to find out about the last few patients who claimed ...

I have it from someone who drink alcoholic beer that the non-alcoholic kind is a crappy idea since it tastes nothing like the real thing and doesn't even give you the buzz. As for bread, there is a hadith from Imam Ja'far Sadiq (as) where he told his companion t respect bread. When asked what he mea...
