Hi everyone, I found a few pics of Noor's father, stepmother and (two of her) sisters. Sources - TJRFC and stud.hsh.no

Hi there, Could you please further elaborate on this perception? Islam's a universal religion, not an Arab one (only about 12-15% of all Muslims are of Far Eastern origin/descent). So if he does hold this viewpoint (in reference to the idea that Noor has more European roots than Far Eastern...

Well it's my personal viewpoint, that if an individual hardly spends any time with their child(ren) on purpose (especially from their infancy to adolescence), that they aren't being very parental. Although, if the person does have a good reason for not being able to bond with his or her kid(s)...

According to a bunch of baby name sites on the web, Fahdah means leopardess. But you were on the right track lil Monkey. As for the name being a feminine version of Fahd (and vice versa), I hadn't thought of it like that before but it makes sense now lol. On another note, in regards to...

No prob and thanks, that's why I thought that they were worth posting up. :cool: I think so too. Both Moorish and Mughal buildings are very unique, vibrant and extremely detail-oriented (as are many other infrastructures around the world), which is the main reason as to why I find them so...

Hi Toledo, The thread titled Castles and Other Royal Homes isn’t the same as this one. I believe that the former one’s strictly or primarily based, on the multiple amount of habitations that individuals within certain royal families presently hold. This thread’s more diverse in regards to its...

Hi purple_platinum, It’s really cool that you’re studying architecture. While I’m personally not learning about the subject in-depth, I did take a few art history courses a few years ago and recently took an urban politics class. So I know a “little bit” about architecture but not much. Yes...

I thought that it would be interesting to start up a thread, on information and/or pictures in regards to different types of royal art and/or architecture around the world. While the prior topic includes elements like drawings, paintings, pottery and sculptures, the latter consists of such...

First of all there is no such thing as a "Muslim world" or "Western world" considering that we do all live on the same planet. Muslims are not "aliens" nor are Westerners the "norm" (btw there are Muslims who live within the "Western world" as well). Secondly, while honor killings are allowed to...

As mentioned in my previous post, off course there can be. But most of the time when a person’s life is taken whether through an “honor killing” or a “murder” on a global basis, the victim is usually a girl/woman (unless the statistics have changed during the past couple of years)...

Hi there, Since we’re currently on the subject, here’s a little info on honor killings (just to clear up some misconceptions). Definition: When a man attacks and kills a female relative of his (using the “heat of passion” defense), whose indiscretions or misfortunes (i.e. alleged pre-marital...

Yes I agree, sorry I meant "translations" of the Quran (into languages aside from Arabic) and not "versions" :rolleyes: As for the wedding/engagement function, I liked the fact that it took place outside since it looked more natural and naturey (is naturey even a real word lol) through that...

Hi Reina, Okay this is going to be my ultimate last post regarding this subject on this thread. In reference to the Bible being “rewritten”, I have a friend who was raised as a religious Catholic and according to her (as well as some books that I’ve read), as you stated there are indeed...

Hi Humera, I usually add a little length to my posts when I see a never-ending (somewhat un-related) topic, especially on the same thread and then I disappear lol, so yes I understand. From what I've personally read in the Quran, there's a lot of talk about both Muslim men and women not being...

Hi there, Man I haven’t written a post on this site in a while. In response to the argument that surah 60 verse 10 (in the Quran) instructs Muslim women to not marry non-Muslim men, from certain viewpoints that idea is only partially correct. The two paragraphs below can be found in Muhammad...

Hi there, According to the first website below, Prince Rainier's grandfather Louis II allegedly married his mistress Marie Juliette Louvet (a cabaret singer, laundress and/or dressmaker and Rainier's grandmother - the second site below confirms her occupation(s)), who was already a divorced...
