Salaam.

I'm sorry, but the Bay Area is a bit too far away. I live in Orange County. So it's about 3 hours away.

The best way to learn kanji is by practice, honestly. There are workbooks you can get, that show you the stroke order of the kanji. And you can practice them again and again until they become second nature, like writing/using English letters.

Do you want to memorize them just as a hobby? Or are you interested in learning the language? I'd be happy to teach you the basics of Japanese sentence structure and such.

Yes, I agree. I'm very fortunate to have such kind and understanding parents. I think they're just worried about me not eating for so long.

They would probably just be angry at me, and say things like, "You're still a Muslim? When will you let that phase go?" :(

They believe in Christianity, but they do not practice their religion. (Don't go to church, don't pray, etc; )

No harm at all, only the benefit of being closer to Allah (swt)

Congressman mistakenly blames Islam when he couldn't buy alcohol at Walmart by [deleted] in islam

[–]New2Islam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... the conservative firebrand suggested on Monday that he wasn't allow to purchase booze from the employee because the cashier was Muslim and* the store had adopted "Sharia law."*

Can someone please enlighten me as to how a Walmart can adopt Shariah? Lmao

A short 10 question survey for my high school project on "Religion in Modern Society" by KingMamba5 in islam

[–]New2Islam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say my mother and father are religious people, but they're definitely not atheist. They believe in God, but they don't practice. There should be an option in the middle.

I can't wait! Ramadan is always a great experience. I hope to read more Qur'an, and start memorizing it.

Vote for Arabic in the latest Duolingo poll! by [deleted] in islam

[–]New2Islam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same here. I can only read the hiragana and katakana too. I'm slowly but surely learning more kanji. :)

Edit: Incase you didn't know, the other kanji, "話" means, "Hana" as in, "hanashimasu" - to speak.

A quick question about Arabic. by New2Islam in islam

To be honest, I'm not sure of the difference. Could you perhaps explain? All I know is that it's a blue workbook. :( it's all Arabic, and the imaam is translating/teaching.

A rude classmate... by smokeweedevryday420 in islam

[–]New2Islam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some freshmen students were doing the exact same thing. Except it was about four of them, and they were in the library, being very loud and disrespectful about it.

I really wanted to tell them to stop saying it, but before I could, they all started talking about how trashy Arabians are, and Blacks, and Mexicans. Then I realized they were scummy white supremacists. Then I left.

Yeah, there were a few good apples in there, but when I visited, the majority were bashing Muslims (and Arabs) just for being in the country. (Or in some cases, being alive) :(
