Assalamualaykum all!
I loooove this board and everyone on it...sounds too mushy for a start ? Believe you me, Ive been an addict for ages, read the postings (archives et al) while feeding my baby at 3 am for the past month and alhamdulillah didn't have any post natal depression thanks to all your heartwarming posts to each other. Well, now I feel I wanna belong too. Its looooooonely here in KSA alhamdulillah (although I wouldnt exchange it for any place in the world) and life can be overwhelming alhamdulillah what with taking care of my young 'uns and hubby and working for my degree...I could do with some friends. Looking forward to being with you all insha'allah

Assalamu'alaykum sisters and jazakumullah khair for all ur welcoming posts.  
I realize that the Bebsi stand is actually a place to sign in... but I'd like to be the first one to sign out and say Ma'asalaama through this forum. Although Ive been here only a short while, I feel that there's not much that can be solved or resolved thru posts...not even loneliness. ..
Some of the topics that I started met with rather fierce responses and it wasn't a comfortable feeling at all...I started out with the urge to share and sound out things that I've been thinking about but then discovered that perhaps this is too public a forum for personal ruminations.
In any case, it was nice knowing all of u. May Allah swt increase us in taqwa and guidance...Ma'assalaama!

wlm,

wow ummrashid haha, once a lurker always a lurker  :-/ It does take some guts to stand up for ur views. also it is tough to adjust to so many different people's ways of thinking and opinions that's different from your own. even making a simple sentence can be misconstrued. it's definitely frustrating at times. i'm sure u could do it sis.. also definitely don't take anything personally after all it's just a msg board :)

Assalamualaykum,
I think name-calling is unworthy of Muslims so I was rather appalled at the "once a lurker always a lurker haha"  :-/ bit...anyway I have no intention of lurking at all, I intend quitting insha'allah.
As Muslims we are expected to have the "guts" to stand up for what's correct according to the Qur'an and Sunnah, not just our own opinions or what's politically correct at a particular point of time. And as for reconciling to differences there's this absolutely enlightening article by Muhammad al Sharif on islamway.com about the ethics of differing among Muslims..care to check it out?
