Autumn and 13 Things Orange
We're a few weeks into fall 2014 and I'm enjoying the orange colors of this season. Here for my readers who enjoy the life we have in western civilization are 13 things with shades of Autumn that are not celebrated by most of the followers of Islam who only enjoy the black of hijab.
Now what do fall colors have to do with Islam, you may ask? Well, if you check some of the questions that Muslims ask their imams, collecting stamps, displaying rocks & minerals, owning tropical fish, and watching sunsets are not Islamic because they waste time and do not further the cause of Islam; and worse - participating in infidel activities is haaram or forbidden.
