Hey Khayriyyah! (Oy, quite a name to type. ^_^'') Welcome to YWS. I'm glad you've joined. It'll be great to have your point of view...I only know one Muslim, out of all my friends and acquaintances.

Out of curiosity, where are you from?

...And if you've got any questions, feel free to private message me...or any of the helpful mods around here.

Welcome again. ^_^

Hey, welcome to the YWS! Your name is very beautiful, but quite a mouthful. May I call you Ky? I think I could remember that. I hope so, at least.

I'm Areida, but you can call me Ari, or 'Reida, or Da, or really whatever strikes your fancy. Those are just some of my nicknames. If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to PM me or another member of Big Brother (our moderators and administrators) and we'll help you out. :D

You are most welcome.

I don't see many muslim writers on the site, so I'm kind of curious as to what sort of differences that your writing style has in comparison to "western" writing styles.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me or any of the other moderators for help. The PM system is quite effective for this.

I actually happen to be a Muslim but I didn't really point that out before.

Welcome Khayriyyah, the site is very easy to navigate around and you can always ask people for help if you're stuck. :D

Asalaamu Alaikum, Kyariyyah. (Is that right?)

Welcome! I am (sorta) an immigrant. More of a foreigner living in another country.
I'm sabradan, most people just call me Sab or Dan. You can too, which ever you prefer.
Where are you from? I'm from Israel. And, as MagicMan said, hes from Lebanon, so we have a few middle-easterners here.

Anyway, enough rambling. Welcome to the site!
