A COMMON STORY HAPPENING WITH SISTERS NOW A DAYS ON FACEBOOK


A brother approaches a sister:-"hey, you seem to be a very good Muslimah, just as I imagine my future wife to be! I really want to know you better before I take any step and ask for your hand in marriage!”

Sister, is this familiar to you? !

Well this is what many Muslim men are doing unfortunately on facebook or any other social network sites!!

ACTUALLY LETS SEE HOW IT START AND THEN WHAT HAPPEN

A brother approaches a sister and makes her feel special, and that he really wants to marry her… Then he starts with her a forbidden relationship through the net because he wants to “know her better” before taking the first step towards engagement! And when she reminds him about marriage, he starts giving her some EXCUSES as : ” well let’s know each other more, we are still young for marriage” OR “honey! I am not ready for marriage for the moment! I didn’t finish my studies yet!” OR “marriage?!!

But how can I provide you if I marry you ? wait till I find a good work, then we will get married!” OR “dear, I don’t know how to tell you this but my parents want me to marry my cousin… But of course I will “try” to convince them about our marriage!”

Sisters.... Wake up!! These are all LIES and excuses because he doesn’t want you actually! Many men are like him, when they will choose to get married they would let their mothers choose for them a girl who’ve never had a boyfriend… if someone really wants you, he would go to your house with no hesitation to ask your father/wali for your hand in marriage A good Muslim man wouldn’t approach the girl but her wali but if he is not ready for marriage, then he would fear HIS Lord and never let you face Allah’s Anger by your forbidden relationship!...

OPEN YOUR EYES BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.. NO ONE PLAYS WITH YOUR HEART UNTIL YOU ALLOW THEM TO DO

Virtues of fasting on ayyamul beed (White days)


Bismillah Walhamdulillah Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasoolillah,My dear brothers and sisters in Islam,Ayyamul Beedh The white days are the three days in the middle of each Islamic month (Hijri), i.e. 13, 14, and 15. They are called white days because of the moon being full and it lights the sky at night. The significance of the three white days revolves around continuous fasting. We know in Islam when we do a good deed it’s multiplied by ten folds. So when we fast three days in a month as if we fasted for thirty days, meaning the whole month. 

Let's check these hadiths: 

Jareer ibn ‘Abdullaah radhiyallaahu ‘anhu narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam said:“Fasting three days of each month is fasting for a lifetime, and ayyam al-beed are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.” (Narrated by al-Nasaa’i (2420); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, (1040)) 

Abu Dharr radhiyallaahu ‘anhu said: The Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam said to me: “If you fast any part of the month, then fast the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, (761); al-Nasaa’i, (2424); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, (1038)). 

Abu Hurayrah radhiyallaahu ‘anhu said: “My close friend [i.e., the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] advised me to do three things which I will never give up until I die: fasting three days each month, praying Duha, and sleeping after praying Witr.” (al-Bukhaari, 1178; Muslim, 721).

The Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:‘Shall I not tell you of something that will take away the evil of the heart? Fasting three days of each month.’ (an-Nisaa’i 2/2386)

-
Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 73 :: Hadith 155 Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: Allah's Apostle entered upon me and said, "Have I not been informed that you offer prayer all the night and fast the whole day?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do not do so; Offer prayer at night and also sleep; Fast for a few days and give up fasting for a few days because your body has a right on you, and your eye has a right on you, and your guest has a right on you, and your wife has a right on you. I hope that you will have a long life, and it is sufficient for you to fast for three days a month as the reward of a good deed, is multiplied ten times, that means, as if you fasted the whole year...Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not fail to fast the white days either when at home or on a journey." [an-Nasa'i]
So, let's fast on these days, Insha Allah

Which school of thought should a Muslim follow?


There are four schools of thoughts and we can follow any one of them. Is it permissible to follow two schools of thought to suit the situation ? For example, the Shafi school of thought considers 2.25 pm as the time for Asr prayers in our town while the Hanafi school of thought has fixed time at 3.08. So can we follow any of these two timings to sui

t our necessity?

-M. A. Hazarika, Seujpur, Dibrugarh

1. Muslims should be united

Muslims today, are divided amongst themselves. Such divisions are not endorsed by Islam. Islam believes in fostering unity amongst its followers.

The Glorious Qur’an says:

“And hold fast, altogether, by the rope Which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves.' [Al-Qur'an 3:103]

Which is the rope of Allah that is being referred to in this verse? It is the Glorious Qur'an. The Glorious Qur’an is the rope of Allah which all Muslims should hold fast together. There is double emphasis in this verse. Beside saying ‘hold fast all together’ it also says, ‘be not divided’.

The Qur’an further says,

“Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger” [Al-Qur’an 4:59]

All the Muslims should follow the Qur’an and authentic Ahadith and ensure that they are not divided among themselves.

2. It is prohibited to make divisions in Islam.

The Glorious Qur’an says:

“As for those who divide Their religion and break up Into sects, you have no part in them in the least: Their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.” [Al-Qur’an 6:159]

In this verse Allah (swt) says that one should disassociate oneself from those who divide their religion and break it up into sects.

But when one asks a Muslim, “who are you?” the common answer is either ‘I am a Hanafi or Shafi or Maliki or Hanbali. Some call themselves ‘Ahle-Hadith’.

3. Four Schools of Thoughts

The Islamic world has produced several learned Islamic scholars (Imams), but out of these, four became more famous and their teachings spread in different parts of the world.

It is a misconception that a Muslim should follow any one of these four schools of thoughts i.e. Hanafi, Shafi, Hanbali or Maliki. There is no proof whatsoever in the Qur’an or any authentic Hadith that a Muslim should only follow one of these four Imams.

4. Respect all the Great Scholars of Islam.

We must respect all the great scholars of Islam, including the four Imaams, Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Shafi, Imam Hanbal and Imam Malik (may Allah be pleased with them all). They were great scholars and may Allah reward them for their research and hard work. One can have no objection if someone agrees with the view and research of any one or more from these four great scholars of Islam.

5. All Four Imam said follow the Qur’an and Sunnah.

All the four great Imams said that if any of their Fatwas or teachings contradict Allah’s word, i.e. the Qur’an, or the sayings of the Prophet (pbuh) i.e. authentic Hadith, then that particulars Fatwa of theirs should be rejected, and the Sunnah of the Prophet should be followed.

Refer:

a. Eeqaadh al-Himam, Al Fulaanee (Imam Abu Hanifa)
b. Al-Majmoo’ of an-Nawawee (1/63) (Imam Shafi)
c. Jaami ‘Bayan al-Ilm, Ibn Abdul-Barr (Imam Malik)
d. Eeqaadh al-Himam (Imam Hanbal)

To give you an example in this context – Imam shafi said that when a women touches a man who is in a state of wudhu, the wudhu of the man breaks. However, this ruling of Imam Shafi contradicts the authentic saying of the Prophet.

Narrated Aisha

The Prophet (may peace be upon him) kissed one of his wives and went out for saying prayer. He did not perform ablution. (Sunan Abu Dawood) Vol. 1 Chapter No. 70 Hadith No. 179)

Thus this particular teaching of Imam Shafi contradicts the authentic saying of the Prophet. So I reject this specific ruling of Imam Shafi who himself said , “ If I say something, then compare it to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His messenger and if it agrees to them, then accept it and that which goes against them, then reject it and throw my saying against the wall” – This is a saying of ash-Shafi’ee-rahimaullah. See Al-Majmoo’ of an-Nawawee (1/63).

Thus by rejecting this particular teaching of Imam Shafi which contradicts the authentic Hadith, I am practically a better follower of Imam Shafi than those who call themselves ‘Shafi’.

Similarly in practice, I claim to be a better follower of Imam Abu Hanifa than those who call themselves ‘Hanafi’. I claim to be a better follower of Imam Hanbal than those who call themselves ‘Hanbali’. I claim to be a better follower of Imam Malik than those who call themselves ‘Maliki”. If being a ‘Ahle-Hadith’ means following Qur’an and authentic Hadith then I claim to be a better follower of the Qur’an and authentic Hadith than those who call themselves ‘ Ahle-Hadith’. All these are mere labels (Hanafi, Shafi, Hanbali, Maliki, Ahle-Hadith) that are not endorsed by the Qur’an or the Sahih Ahadith.

The only label or title given by the Qur’an and the Sahih Ahadith is MUSLIM.
6. All the Groups have sub divisions

I personally have no objection if someone calls himself Hanafi, Shafi, Hanbali, Maliki or Ahle Hadith. People give different labels to themselves to identify which set of teachings they prefer to follow and to disassociate themselves from those people who follow wrong practices. From history we come to know that all the labels given to different groups, at a later stage the people from that group themselves did not follow their teachings and made new sub-groups. Therefore in all the groups you find a sub-division.

But as far as giving a label to identify what a person practices in Islam is concerned, there can not be better label than what Allah (swt) has given i.e. a Muslim.
7. Our Prophet was a Muslim

“Who was our beloved Prophet (pbuh)? Was he a Hanafi or a Shafi, or a Hanbali or a Maliki ?” No! He was a Muslim, like all the other Prophets and Messengers of Allah before him.
It is mentioned in chapter 3 verse 52 of Al-Qur’an that Jesus (pbuh) was a Muslim.
Further , in chapter 3 verse 67, Al-Qur’an says that Ibrahim (pbuh) was not a Jew or a Christian but was a Muslim.
8. Qur’an says call yourselves Muslims

There is no Qur’anic verse or any authentic Hadith that says you should call yourselves Hanafi, Shafi, Hanbali, Maliki or Ahle Hadith.
If anyone poses a Muslim the question who are you, he should say “I am a Muslim, not a Hanafi or a Shafi or a Ahle-Hadith”.

Lets get united and call ourselves one united muslim ummah....

IS PROPHET MOHAMMED (PBUH) NOT MARRIED A CHILD OR HE WAS A PEDOPHILIA?

Ans:
THE REASON WHY THE PROPHET (PEACE AND BLESSINGS OF ALLAH BE UPON HIM) MARRIED 'Aa'ISHA DESPITE THE AGE DIFFERENCE? : REASONING,LOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC ANSWER


Narrated By 'Ursa: The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was NINE years old and she remained with him for NINE years (i.e. till his death).
[Vol 7, Book 62. Wedlock, Marriage (Nikaah).Hadith 088. Shahi Bukhari]


the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had grieved over the death of the Mother of the Believers Khadeejah, who had supported him and stood by his side, and he called the year in which she died The Year of Sorrow. Then he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married Sawdah, who was an older woman rather he married her to console her after her husband had died and she stayed among mushrik people. Four years later the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), and he was over fifty. Perhaps the reasons for the marriage were as follows:

1 He saw a dream about marrying her. It is proven in

al-Bukhaari from the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to her: “You were shown to me twice in a dream. I saw that you were wrapped in a piece of silk, and it was said, ‘This is your wife.’ I uncovered her and saw that it was you. I said, ‘If this is from Allaah then it will come to pass.’” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 3682). As to whether this is a prophetic vision as it appears to be, or a regular dream that may be subject to interpretation, there was a difference of opinion among the scholars, as mentioned by al-Haafiz in Fath al-Baari, 9/181.
2 CHARATERISTIC AND INTELLIGENCE IN AISHA(R.A)

The characteristics of intelligence and smartness that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had noticed in ‘Aa’ishah even as a small child, so he wanted to marry her so that she would be more able than others to transmit reports of what he did and said. In fact, as stated above, she was a reference point for the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) with regard to their affairs and rulings.

3 RELATION WITH SAHABA

The love of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) for her father Abu Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with him), and the persecution that Abu Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with him) had suffered for the sake of the call of truth, which he bore with patience. He was the strongest of people in faith and the most sincere in certain faith, after the Prophets.

It may be noted that among his wives were those who were young and old, the daughter of his sworn enemy, the daughter of his closest friend. One of them occupied herself with raising orphans, another distinguished herself from others by fasting and praying qiyaam a great deal… They represented all kinds of people, through whom the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was able to set out a way for the Muslims showing how to deal properly with all kinds of people. [See al-Seerah al-Nabawiyyah fi Daw’ al-Masaadir al-Asliyyah, p. 711].

With regard to the issue of her being young and your being confused about that, you should note that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) grew up in a hot country, the Arabian Peninsula. Usually in hot countries adolescence comes early and people marry early. This is how the people of Arabia were until recently. Moreover, women vary greatly in their development and their physical readiness for marriage.

Many people alleged that prophet Mohammed(pbuh) Married a Child or Pedophilia , (Auzbillah).

The meaning of Pedophilia: Sexual attracted towards the children ". Remember "Children" or "Child"

If we analyze and we can conclude that this statement is baseless, that even today the Arab girls reach adulthood at an age between 8 years to 11 years due to the effect of climate and food habits of their region. Therefore this proves that Ayesha® Young when they started their marriage life,

as i told that the girls reach the puberty between the 8 and 11 normally, means she not a child when their marriage relation is began. Child means: The Boy or the Girl hasn’t reached the Puberty, if they reach the puberty there are not child but they are young.

Its culture of the Arabs that time whether the Muslim or Non-Muslim or Christian they follow this culture, but according Islam if the Girl or Boy reaches the Puberty means: Adult they can marry if they wish. This is the Islamic Law. Marring in a child age is not preferable or discouraged in Islam. There are various rule and regulations for that.

America: only in the 'taxes' special law the 14 year marriage law, they have from their generation marrying earlier is their custom or tradition. It’s American Law no one has any objection.

In Mexico: 16 year marriage law, recently a girl went to Mexico and marriage a person 0f 30 are she is 16 0r 17 because in American she can't marry. Now it’s Mexico Law no one has any objection

In India , Its 18 age . Previously Indian girls use to reach puberty normally 14-15 0r 16 but now the Food and climate change cause reaching puberty 10 -11 very common now doctor telling on News paper, TV News etc.. if the girl reach the puberty before 9 then its matter of concern other wise 10 ,11 its normal .but now its India law we have obey it.

In , Indonesia . Marriage Law is 19 the country has maximum Muslim population in the World they put 19 age of the girls marriage , why because their Food and environment is different and girls don't reaches puberty earlier accordingly they made such law .

If you says marring late is Good law the Indonesia law is the greater law then the India law ? no.. Every country has its own law according to their requirements and needs

now I am asking you which law is right here American Law, Mexico Law or India Law, Indonesia Law?

If you support any one law its goes against all other laws!

Islamic Law: If the boy or girl reaches to the Puberty(Adult) if they wish they can marry

Marrying earlier is preferable in Islam but not the obligatory .

Allah says in the Qur'an Ch 4 Verse 19 “Do not marry women, against her own will "

marrying any girl forcefully its prohibited in Islam

some people says what the need to marrying Aisha(r) is in young age?

We know that only She narrated Hadith(sunna) of prophet more than 2000 , and on her hand 70 people become Scholars , means she scholar of the scholar and she is very knowledgeable in the field of Medicine and math’s , History and etc. she memorized the Whole Qur'an , Allahamdulilah and she is ideal for the whole women of the Muslim and the world , The stature like her or Character like her no women in the world and on one will going to come . Because she was with the prophet Mohammed (pbuh) , other if she would have married at age 17 or 18 , She will be with prophet just 1 or 2 year , what she will learn in 1 or 2 years ? not Much .

Remember in the beginning the meaning of Pedophilia: Sexual attracted towards the children ". remember"Children" or "Child"

When the Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) had relation with her , she is not a Child but a Young girl means Adult but not a child!.

The statement of “pedophilia” attributing to Prophet itself base less completely

Why building of Temples and Churches, and propagating other religions, is prohibited in Saudi Arabia?


Dr, Zakir Naik Answers.


1. Example of selecting a Maths teacher:
Suppose you are a principal of a school and you have to select a Mathematics teacher. It is obvious that you will interview the candidates. If one teacher says that 2 + 2 = 3, the other says 2 + 2 = 4 and the third says 2 + 2 = 5 whom will you select? Since you know mathematics is logical, you will never select or allow a person to teach mathematics who doesn’t even know the basics of arithmetic that 2 + 2 = 4.

2. Where religion is concerned Muslims are experts:

Similarly in the field of religion, Muslims are the best and Qur’an clearly mentions in Surah Ale Imran, Chapter 3, verse 19 (3:19):


“The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His will)”. [Al-Qur’an 3:19]

It is further mentioned In Surah Ale Imran Chapter 3, verse 85 (3:85)


“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).” [Al-Qur’an 3:85]


3. No other religious scripture claims that its religion alone is true.

There is no other religious scripture on the face of the earth besides the Qur’an which says that only its religion is true, correct and acceptable to Almighty God, and that all the other religions are false and hence not acceptable to Almighty God.

If you are a school principal who knows Maths, you will never allow a person to teach Maths in your school who does not know Maths. Similarly Muslims, who are experts in the field of religion and know that Islam is the only true religion, will not allow anyone in the country of Saudi Arabia to preach any other religion besides Islam. Muslims also know that what the true concept of Almighty God i.e. Allah (SWT) is, and thus we will not permit anyone to build, in the country of Saudi Arabia, a place of worship where they worship anyone besides Allah (swt).

And Allah Knows Best.
