I can answer questions about Islamic belief and practice, accepting Islam, fiqh and fatwa, women`s issues, and marriage and family matters. I will not address questions regarding political issues.

Experience in the area

I have taught Islamic Studies for nine years, in the US and in Saudi Arabia. I have published articles about Islam in the Minaret of California, the Saudi Gazette, and online.

I have lectured about Islam at Islamic gatherings, churches, and hospitals.


I have answered questions about Islam at allexperts.com and elsewhere on the World Wide Web for eight years.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

All human beings are born pure, without sin and without the inclination to sin, and in a state of submission to God?s natural laws. ?Islam? means ?submission to God?s natural laws.?

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Each child, then, is born pure, but as it grows it is changed by society and through evil influences. Islam, the religion, is a process through which human beings regain the basic nature of purity in which we were born.
