 Misconceptions regarding Al-Mawlid
Posted by administrator on Friday, February 03 @ 00:00:00 AST (1903 reads)
Those who think that this Bid’ah should be continued produce specious arguments which are flimsier than a spider’s web. These specious arguments may be dealt with as follows:
1 – Their claim that this is veneration of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam:
The response to that is that the way to venerate him is to obey him, do as he commanded and avoid that which he forbade, and to love him; he is not to be venerated through innovations, myths and sins. Celebrating his birthday is of this blameworthy type because it is a sin. The people who venerated the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam the most were the Sahaabah as ‘Urwah Ibn Mas’ood said to Quraysh: “O people, I swear by Allaah that I have visited kings. I went to Caesar, Chasroes and the Negus, but I swear by Allaah that I never saw a king whose companions venerated him as much as the companions of Muhammad venerated Muhammad. By Allaah, whenever he spat it never fell to the ground, it fell into the hand of one his companions, then they would wipe their faces and skins with it. If he instructed them to do something, they would hasten to do as he commanded. When he did Wudoo’, they would almost fight over his water. When he spoke they would lower their voices in his presence; and they did not stare at him out of respect for him.” [Al-Bukhaari] Yet despite this level of veneration, they never took the day of his birth as an ‘Eed (festival). If that had been prescribed in Islam they would not have neglected to do that.

Posted by administrator on Saturday, November 05 @ 11:30:06 AST (2308 reads)
Is there any virtue in offering du’aa’ on the day of ‘Arafah for those who are not on Hajj?
Question:
Will du’aa’ offered on the day of ‘Arafah by those who are not on Hajj be answered?.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no day on which Allaah ransoms more of His slaves from the Fire than the day of ‘Arafah. He draws close then He boasts about them before the angels and says, ‘What do these people want?’” Narrated by Muslim (1348).
It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best of du’aa’ is du’aa’ on the day of ‘Arafah, and the best that I and the Prophets before me said is ‘Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god but Allaah alone, with no partner or associate; His is the dominion, to Him be praise, and He has power over all things).” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (3585)’ classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb (1536).
It was narrated from Talhah ibn ‘Ubayd ibn Kurayz in a mursal report: “The best of du’aa’ is du’aa’ on the day of ‘Arafah.” Narrated by Maalik in al-Muwatta’ (500); classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’ (1102).

Christmas and Islam
Posted by administrator on Sunday, December 19 @ 18:04:55 AST (3497 reads)
By Umm Muhammad
Quite a number of Muslims today, especially those living in Christian dominated countries or those influenced to a large degree by western culture, have been led to consider that taking part in the Christmas celebrations of friends and relatives is, at very least, a harmless pastime if not a legitimate source of pleasure for children and adults alike. In many instances, pressure to conform with the practices of society is too great for those of weak resolve to withstand. Parents are often tempted to give in to the pleading of children who have been invited to a party or who are unable to understand why they alone are being prevented from joining the festivities they observe all around them or why they cannot receive gifts on this occasion like the other children.

Islamic Ruling regarding Certain Usernames
Posted by administrator on Wednesday, April 21 @ 20:37:02 AST (4303 reads)
التلقب في المنتديات ب"سبحان الله"،"القرآن والسنة"،"شريعة الله"..
-فيها تزكية،وربما إهانة لمعناها مع كثرة الاستعمال، والرد عليه وتخطئته
-هذه الجمل وضعت لمعان مقصودة شرعا،معروفة لغة،والتلقب بها مخالف لوضعها الشرعي واللغوي
-سئلت اللجنة الدائمة عن التسمي ب"سبحان الله"،"فأفتت:يجب تغييره
-وعليه: فلايجوز التسمي بالألفاظ المذكورة وأشباهها
Translation:
"Calling oneself in forums by using nickname such as "SubhanAllaah", "Qur'aan And Sunnah" or "Allaah's Shari'aa", etc...is a self praising practice, and can also lead to belittling what these word stand for, as when people use them for long they tend to become accustomed to them, and as such, these words loose their impact and become at some point nothing more than just words. Also, someone might respond back to what one of those nickname holders said, and disagree with them, and tell them they were wrong and so on and so forth. And should they enter in argument, those names get attacked!
These sentences have been meant to refer to noble Islamic terminologies to serve one purpose and that is what they stand for and not be used as names. The High Fatawa Committee have been asked as to what is the ruling on naming oneself with ''SubhanAllaah''? The committee said: "Using this kind of name and any other alike it, is not permissible."
