Your welcome!

I can’t speak for the other admin, but all I can say is that my paternal grandmother’s mother was Sicilian and that Sicily was occupied for nearly 300 years back in the medieval period by an Arab emirate. It is possible that some Arab mixed in then, but I can’t say for certain as I don’t have a lot of records for my paternal grandmother’s mother’s family and I don’t want to pull an Elizabeth Warren. When my father did a DNA test he said he had a small percentage of Middle Eastern DNA but it wasn’t specific to what region.

ah, unfortunately, my knowledge of the islamic path is very limited - and a passionate curiosity much more than proper research. this, combined with the fact that I am personally disinterested in any hell-related beliefs (nor do I follow them to any extent) means that I can hardly be of any help here.

however, I am quite curious what you mean by “haven't been able to find anything related to it” - as in, online? seems quite a deep well, if I am being honest. I’d imagine both theological and academic islamic texts would be a good place to start.
