This site is a great portal to knowledge and interaction. I look forward to submitting an article and getting it published soon Insha’Allah (God willing).
I would like to recommend one thing off the bat; PLEASE remind authors of articles and user comments to always include in paranthesis the meaning of Arabic terms. Along with that; article titles should have the translation as well.
There was a recent article title for example; “Is Qasidah Burdah Shirk”..the only word recognized by most is the word ‘Is’.
We need to remind ourselves that MANY non-Muslims, those interested in Islam, and even people who are Muslims who may not be on the same practice/knowledge level as other Muslims…come to this site for knowledge.
May Allah (The One God) guide and reward all of us in our sincere efforts.
Wa`alaykum asalam,
JazakAllahu khayr for your comment.
At SuhaibWebb.com, we always strive to provide translation for arabic terms in our articles. Our editorial process insures that we provide translation so that all of our readership can benefit from our articles and increase their islamic literacy.
In the off-chance that one or two terms are not translated by mistake, we would be happy to answer any question in our comments section. We also might not include the translation of a word in a title if the length of the title does not permit. However, that term will be defined in the article.
We also have a glossary for our readers to reference in the case that they need clarification or a more detailed definition for a word. This can be found here: http://www.suhaibwebb.com/glossary/
wassalamu `alaykum,

Thank you for this recommendation. I am a convert who knows virtually no Arabic and I get so weary of trying to read an article–in English!–and not being able to understand the main points because of the liberal use of Arabic terms and phrases.
May Allah remind us all that not everyone knows Arabic!
With regard to cross-posting on other sites – does that apply to only other ‘professionally-run’ sites (e.g. Muslimmatters.org)? Or personal blogs as well?
If the latter, when WOULD you consider publishing something that was already published on a personal blog?
We would prefer that articles were not published on a personal blog either, but have made some exceptions in regards to this. Please email submissions@suhaibwebb.com with your specific post.
Question for Web Counselors and Scholars, Can I get advice on the proper way of marrying a non-Muslim woman ? What are the parameters and can I get advice on how to continue being Muslim while married to someone who may or may not become Muslim ?
Thank you
Do the submissions have to be essays? I am very busy and don’t get time to read a lot, except that which relates to my own field. Hence, I created a blog for this purpose: keep it simple, short, and sweet. Would you accept this style: http://birkah.wordpress.com/

Assalamualaikum Imam, I have a question relating to economic. A few days ago the Fatwa Council in Malaysia stated that trading in FOREX IS Haram. What triggers me is that if a big company is enlisted in Wall Street as it is part and foremost the trigger mechanism of Forex right? so What question me is the money that the company got and given to the employees. There ought to be muslims working in the company, thus what is the status of the money? Please comment on this issue. I really am curious.
Salam,
How long does the reviewing process take; will we be notified if our submission was reviewed and will not be posted on the website?
wa`alaykum assalam,
The process has many steps and the first is that you’ll be notified once it’s reviewed as to whether or not it will be published. If you have submitted an article and haven’t received a response yet, we will notify you shortly.
JazakyAllahu khayr

I find your articles quite interesting and helpful. I’m wondering if you are allowing translations of your articles in another language and let them publish in their own website…
if so please let me know.

JazakAllahu khayr! If you’re interested in translating articles, they must be reviewed and approved by SuhaibWebb.com. Please send any translations to submissions@suhaibwebb.com
