many thanks Shaf.

Can you tell me what is the significance of the time that Hajj takes place. Cannot muslims just go anytime to perform their pilgrimage?

arniegang

Shaf Please dont apologise about rambling, like liban i find the way you write about it easy to understand and that makes it more interesting to read. I apologise if i seem un-educated and ignorant. This may sound a really stupid question now. You have mentioned God and his commandments. I am christ...

hi Linda was quite right in correcting me on the alcohol issue, but i assumed you were asking about buying it openly in supermarkets etc. She was quite correct in telling you that you can buy beer etc in all hotels and certain eating places like Planet Hollywood etc. The price at this sort of venue ...

hiya again Tomo

cant comment much on the rents, but theres loads of peeps in here well in touch.

If you have residency its easy to get a UAE licence. As you are from UK on a Euro licence, you just goto the traffic dept, pay the money and they just give you one - Easy and sorted.

Choc

What is the connection and why is the mourning period relevant in Dubai. Or is this standard amongst GCC countries?

arniegang

Gab

IMHO you summed it all up in your initial post

I have visited many countries of the world in my lifetime and for me Dubai remains and will remain the top of the list.

arniegang

arniegang

Shaf Total respect to you my friend and a big thank you to take the time to explain in a way that is understandable and in a totally unbiased way. So can you please explain where the link is between Moses, Abraham, Isaac and Mohammad, and if Islam and Judism are techincally linked, in that they orig...

arniegang

ok another silly question i'm affraid

Why isnt Moses considered or given less importance in relation to the other prophets, as it was God that spoke and handed him the ten commandments?.

Why are Abraham and his sons Isaac and Ishmael not considered prophets?

arniegang

Thanks Sniper - so another question if i may:

Why is there a difference in status between Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael and their sons Muhammad and Moses?

arniegang

[quote="sniper420] When did I mention that I am devil worshipper Linda? yes Moses got Torah, Jesus Bible one of the messenger got Psalm and Quran was given to Prophet Muhammed (PBUH). Arnie I guess it's time for you to do some homework on religion. U have earned millions but will have to start earni...

Liban, are you implying that because Christians and Jews were cruel and barbaric in the past, that it is now okay for Islam to have a go? Why am I getting the flack for discussing the exact topic that this thread first brought up? I didn't start this thread by the way. I've made it pretty clear tha...

Patient: Doctor im really down and i think i am a pair of Curtains

hiya all Can anyone out there give me some guidance re Driving Licences and Car Insurance please. Ok, i have a UAE driving licence and insurance etc. The car is registered to me, as is the insurance policy. If my wife visits with the children on her own, what are the legal technicalities regarding h...

arniegang

The simple answer is yes and no. Yes, but you can only hold a "savings" account. You will NOT be allowed to have a cheque book, debt/credit card or credit card until you have "residency". You can only have residency when you have completed the final payment on your property. No, you cannot manage yo...

arniegang

ohh and another important point. When doing transfers electronically from the UK, the golden figure to get the best rate is £15001. Tranferring below this amount will only give the the equivilent of "tourist rates" on exchange. You may also wish to consider opening up an offshore "dirham" account, e...

arniegang

arniegang
