How do you cure a voodoo spell put on a person?
Actually, there are several methods for this; Disbelief in cursing/curses is one, but not very efficient, as I have charmed, cursed and spelled plenty of people who were disbelievers with direct results. One thing I recommend for you and your friend or anyone else you care about is getting a piece of "good" Gris-Gris. This is a Voudon charm or amulet with certain imbued powers, depending on the type you get. the simplest one I use (there are simpler ones but not as powerful) is a solid sterling silver dime. (Think: Mercury Dime, or Roosevelt Sterling dime) Drill a hole in the dime and put it on a sturdy string or piece of hemp string. Be sure the string is knotted between 3 and 9 times (ONLY ODD NUMBERS OF KNOTS, NO Evens!!) and it is to be worn on the left ankle. *****THIS MUST BE GIVEN AS A GIFT TO WORK, IF YOU NEED ONE, GIFT SOMEONE WITH ONE AND HAVE THEM MAKE YOU ONE IN RETURN*** If your friend is under a curse or enchantment, there are Voodoo dolls for protection that can be made, stuffed with Five-finger Grass (wards off all the evil 5 fingers can bring) if the caster is missing a finger, then IDK, LOL. (Sorry, a little Voodoo humor there. You can do a cleansing by "smudging" (Look up Native American/Cherokee/Navajo smudging) the persons body (personal space) with burning sage and also their vehicle, office and home (or anywhere they spend a lot of time). Ritual cleansing baths of all kinds work; you can find plenty of those on the net; and my personal favorite, which is kind of a cure-all is to reflect the curse back to it's caster. First, wait until the waxing or full moon (but if you/they feel you're in dire danger, do NOT wait, just do it!) You will need: A Mirror (not a compact mirror), a white candle, a black candle, a candle snuffer or cup for putting out candles by denying them air, and matches. The white candle doesn't play a role in curse removal, it is there to protect and prevent anything negative from using the mirror gateway to latch onto you. Start late in the evening, it really does not take more than 40-50 minutes. The timing is important, you will be doing the actual ritual itself both prior to, and after, midnight. This serves to reflect the curse back as one day ends and another begins. (Have all your preparations set up by 11:30 p.m at the very latest. Light the white candle with a match and set aside, prop up the mirror against something while sitting in Lotus Position (Indian style) on the floor making sure the cursed one can see their own reflection, then light the black candle with a match and set it to where it is reflected, too. Be absolutely, POSITIVELY 100% sure no one else is accidentally reflected in the mirror because the curse can then latch onto them. (Unless it's a cat, they are sacred and immune as a sort of go- between of the worlds). This ritual is simple and can be done alone.) So, reflected in the mirror you want to see: Your own face and the black candle and it's flame. At 11:44 p.m. in your time zone begin chanting "Black, black send this curse back" in triads (three times in a row) with no pause, then after the 3rd time you say the chant, pause and visualize the curse flowing out of you and through the mirror's gateway, back onto the caster. repeat the chant 3 times again, then repeat the visualization. Do this for 33 minutes. (From 11:44 p.m. to 12:16 a.m.) When the time is up, you should feel better immediately, but may not notice a mental/spiritual or physical difference. This is okay. You did your part, unless a true Houngan or Mambo cursed you, it will have worked, and they aren't going to bother going around cursing for no reason. Just snuff the black candle out with a candle snuffer (NOTE: Do NOT EVER blow out a candle unless specifically called for) if you don't have a candle snuffer, use a glass or metal cup but DON'T TOUCH THE WICK!! (Not because it was hot, but because it helped to carry the curse back) Wrap the mirror and the BLACK candle carefully in black cloth and put away until needed again & leave the white candle to burn itself out (I recommend using a small pillar or votive that burns until dawn, which is the natural the end of Things of the Night, such as evils, demons etc. but if you're worried about sleeping with a candle lit, then use a tea-light in a secure container or holder, as they only burn for 4 hours. Burning a white candle while you sleep is another way to protect yourself as a sort of 'armor', it can be unsafe due to fire hazards, but if you feel you have a secure enough area that it would not/could not burn anything, this is a way to protect yourself all the time, by burning one from dusk until dawn every night. *Keep a smoke detector with fresh batteries at all times!* Best of luck!

How many people are christian and Muslim?
Based on 2010 statistics: Christians outnumber Muslims by about 700,000,000, or a ratio of 1.5 : 1.
Christianity is the world's largest religion by far, with about 2.3 billion followers. Its annual growth rate is 1.3%, or an annual gain of 29,900,000 followers. It is the third fastest growing religion (behind Islam and Hinduism, but not by much truly), but the independent Christian churches and Charismatic Christianity have the highest growth rate of any religion at 2.4%, over half a percent higher than Islam. Christians currently account for about 33% of the world's population (about 1/3).
Islam is the world's second largest religion, with about 1.6 billion followers. Its annual growth rate is 1.8% (half a percent higher than Christianity), and annual gain of 28,800,000. It is the world's fastest growing religion. Muslims currently account for about 23% of the world's population (about 1/4).

Why don't Jews follow Islam the right path?
Jews are not convinced that Islam is the proper path for them. Often, Muslims tell themselves the story of The Jew With 100 Questions and then ask themselves: if this man was convinced, why did the Jews not convert. The fallacy here is that what is good enough to convince one man is not necessarily enough to convince others.
Judaism has said that while Islam is a relatively correct religion and sufficient for non-Jews to attain a place in the world to come, it is woefully inadequate for Jews to believe in Islam. Some particular issues concerning Islam for Jews come from the following of Mohammed's teachings and Qur'anic Verses:
Prophecy Post-Malachi: Judaism believes that each generation has a weaker connection to God than the previous generation, a concept called Yeridat ha-Dorot (ירידת הדורות). Judaism also holds that a person has to have a naturally strong connection to God to prophesy. Therefore, around the time of the Prophet Malachi, humanity was losing the strength to maintain prophesy. Jews therefore claim that since Malachi, no person has been capable of prophesying successfully. As Mohammed lived over 900 years after Malachi died, Mohammed, therefore, could not be a Prophet.
Disagreements with the Torah: Mohammed claimed that he received Divine Revelations that explicitly contradicted the Torah such as the claim the Ishmael was taken to be sacrificed instead of Isaac. Mohammed claimed that any differences between what his revelations and the Torah was due to corruption from bad Jews. This infuriated Jews who maintained that their scripture was the same one that they had been using for centuries. He was disagreeing with the words of the Torah and according to Deuteronomy 13:1-4, anyone who openly disagrees with the words of the Torah is a false prophet at best.
Inclusion of Christian Tradition: Mohammed said that Jesus and John the Baptist were prophets when the Jews did not believe so. Jesus was seen in the Jewish community as not only a heretic, but the cause of much Jewish suffering in the Byzantine Empire because of its Christian orientation. They would not accept the religious leadership of someone that supported Jesus as a legitimate prophet. Of course, Jews also rejected Jesus for substantial religious reasons which Mohammed did not take the time to hear out. Muslims today often do not know what the Jewish perspective was on Jesus either, that led to their rejection of him. (A related question below addresses that particular issue.)
Different Rules: Islamic Law is not the same as Jewish Law. While there were certainly similarities, it was a different law and Jews were not going to give up their traditions and history to join a new religious group. To many Jews, it was a reflection of all of the previous religions that had tried to convert them away from their proper mission.
It is worth noting that according to Judaism, both Jews and non-Jews can be prophets (so it was not Mohammed's foreignness that prevented his acceptance). It happens that the majority of God-prophets were from the Israelite-Jewish Line because the Bible is mostly about them. One example of a Prophet in the Bible who clearly received Divine Messages but was not Jewish was Balaam (Numbers Ch. 22-24). Although he was opposed to the Jewish people, his prophecies are still considered valid. His blessing over the Jewish people is still recited in synagogues (called "Ma Tovu").

What is the meaning of the name Solomon?
(Sol′o‧mon) [from a root meaning "peace"].
Son of King David of the line of Judah; king of Israel from 1037 to 998 B.C.E. The Bible record, after reporting the death of the son born to David through his illicit relations with Bath-sheba, continues: "And David began to comfort Bath-sheba his wife. Further, he came in to her and lay down with her. In time she bore a son, and his name came to be called Solomon. And Jehovah himself did love him. So he sent by means of Nathan the prophet and called his name Jedidiah, for the sake of Jehovah." (2Sa 12:24, 25) Solomon later had three full brothers, sons of David and Bath-sheba: Shimea, Shobab, and Nathan.-1Ch 3:5.
Islamic answerAnd to Dawud(David) We gave Sulai'man(Solomon). How excellent a slave! Verily, he was ever oft returning in repentance (to Us)!And Sulai'man inherited (the knowledge of) Dawud. He said: "O mankind! We have been taught the language of birds, and on us have been bestowed all things. This, verily, is an evident grace (from Allah)."
And there were gathered before Sulai'man his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they were all set in battle order (marching forwards). (27:15-17 Quran).

How many children did imam hussain have?
Husayn ibn Ali was the son of Ali, Muhammad's cousin, and his wife Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad and his first wife Khadijah bint Khuwaylid. Husayn ibn Ali and his brother Hasan ibn Ali were regarded by Prophet Muhammed as his own sons due to his love for them and as they were the sons of his daughter Fatima and he regarded her children and descendants as his own children and descendants, and he said "Every mothers children are associated with their father except for the children of Fatima for I am their father and lineage" Thus only the descendants of Fatima are the descendants and progeny of the Prophet and his Ahlul Bayt. Husayn ibn Ali was married to four women, Rubab bint Imra al-Qais with whom he fathered Ali al-Asghar ibn Husayn and Sukayna bint Husayn, Layla bint Abi Murrah al-Thaqafi mother of Ali al-Akbar ibn Husayn, Umm Ishaq bint Talhah, the widow of Hasan ibn Ali, mother of Fatimah bint Husayn. From his wife Shahrbanu he fathered Ali ibn Husayn who's descendants were the Shia Imamah. Other children include Sakinah bint Husayn and Fatema Sugra bint Husayn.

Who created how to dress changing rights of Muslim women?
There are No Rights of dress changing. A Muslim woman, if she follows the commands of Almighty Allah in letter and spirit and she feels fear of Almighty God, must cover all her body in a way that she does not invite the lusty eyes of the wicked people. If she dresses to attract the attention of the men around her and shows off her body, she may not be considered a true Muslim lady even by her own father, brother or husband, if they are true Muslim and honorable.
Is touching the anal allowed in Islam?

However, interpretations can vary among different scholars and cultures, so it's advisable for individuals to consult knowledgeable sources within their community for guidance on specific practices.

What country does not allow Muslim immigrants?
Most countries will welcome immigrants who bring skills that are in demand and in short supply in those countries and who are well-educated and can fend for themselves financially.
Most anti-immigration laws in practically every Western country concern illegal immigrants and political (but in reality more often economic) refugees from Third World-countries, people with often little or no skills that are of any use in the country of arrival and who in consequence will be mostly a drain on its social security systems.
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_view_of_Abraham):
Ibrāhīm (Arabic: ابراهيم, Hebrew: אַבְרָהָם) , the biblical patriarch Abraham (circa born between 1900 BC to 1861 BC - died between 1814 BC to 1716 BC), is an important prophet in Islam. He is the son of Azar and the father of Ismail (Ishmael) -his first born son- and Is'haq (Isaac) his second born, both of whom are considered Islamic prophets. Ibrahim is considered the Father of the Prophets. Ibrahim is commonly termed Khalil Allah, or "Friend of God" or "Braheem".
Islam regards many sorts of the biblical patriarchs as prophets of Allah, and hence as Muslims (i.e., monotheists). Ibrahim is regarded as a Hanif (meaning a discoverer of monotheism without being taught by a messenger).
Because of their mutual veneration for Abraham, Islam, Christianity and Judaism are sometimes summarized under the term "Abrahamic religions".
What are the countries belonging to the Middle East?
Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Saudia Arabia
=================
I have to disagree with this answer. In fact, I have to disagree with this question!
There are not 5 "middle-eastern" countries. The term "the middle east" is not a tight definition, like "United States of America" or even "Africa" (which because of its shape is fairly tightly defined - generally speaking it's easy to tell whether a country is or is not in Africa, though with some islands it gets tricky.)
Originally it designated the countries which lay between the Ottoman Empire and the Arab-speaking world (often collectively referred to as the "Near East") and the "Far East" - China, Japan etc.
These days we use the term more to describe the non-European countries bordering the eastern Mediterranean and those lying immediately to the East of them. Frequently it also includes the countries of the Arabian peninsula.
So, suppose we start off with one definition of "Middle East" and say we are talking about those non-European countries which border the eastern end of the Mediterranean. If that is the case then only two of the countries listed above will count, and we shall have a list which might going clockwise, read, "Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt."
But this definition will miss out countries which can as properly be included - starting most controversially with Palestine, often not counted as a country or a nation. But whether you count Palestine or not, there is the "Gaza" strip which borders the Mediterranean.
Then there is Jordan, which has no actual Mediterranean shore, but is so intimately bound up with the history, geography and politics of the other states mentioned here, that it is hard not to include it in the tally of "Middle-Eastern" states.
If you are going to include Egypt (and few would exclude it), then maybe you should also include Libya and even Tunisia.
Some people use the term to cover the above, and include almost any state where a variety of Arabic is used - this extends the term right across the Arabian peninsula (including Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States) and along the coast of North Africa. This seems too far for me - especially once you get to countries like Morocco in the Western Mediterranean.
Certainly the Arabian peninsula - largely Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the Gulf States - will often get included in a wider definition of the "Middle East". You can argue the case either way.
However, if you start talking about "Middle Eastern politics" few people would exclude the countries of Iraq and Iran, which are linguistically (in the case of Iraq) and culturally and religiously bound up with nations which define the Middle East, and cannot be considered part of the "Far East".
Historically the term "Middle East" was even applied to Afghanistan and its current troubles remain bound up with the fate of countries a long way to the east of it - but if you have a homework question on "The Middle East" you might have to defend the inclusion of Afghanistan.
Clear as mud? - sorry, but that's the Middle East for you.
It means " may you have a generous , blessed Ramadan" , which is the month were Muslim people fast.
What does Islam's authority rest with?
Answer 1
In the Islamic faith, Imams can offer spiritual guidance, however, authority rests with scripture, and the prophet. The Muslim holy book is called the Qur'an.
Answer 2
While it is certainly a romantic thought that Islam's authority rests solely on the Qur'an, this is certainly not the case. Half of the Islamic World is illiterate, so the beliefs and arguments of Imams and tribal Sheikhs often become the chief authorities on what Islam is for their congregations, even if they are dead-wrong on official religious doctrine.
