If Federer holds on to the US and Australian Open then definitely him.

It has been a while since my last post; I hope future posts are more forthcoming. I would like to begin with commendations to Fatimah Zahra Karim for her tireless efforts to illuminate all of us on the lofty status of Ameerul-Momineen (as). Now coming to questions and queries by Esm'ail; why don't t...

Fixed-Term or Temporary Marriage are different names for the Arabic word of "Mut'a" which is a contract between a man and woman, much in the same way the Long-Term/Permanent/Conventional Marriage is. The main difference is that the temporary marriage longs only for a specified period of time, and ma...
