Allah says He has sealed up the hearing and the sight of those who do not believe and persist in their disbelief (because of their own actions)

24 Surah Noor verses 30-31: 30 Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. 31 And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modes...

Dear Brother, The black cloth on the Square in Mecca is called the Holy Kaaba and is described by Allah in the Holy Quran: Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale-Imran verse 96: Undoubtedly, the first house of worship ever to be built for mankind is the one which is at Makkah. It was bless...

Respected brother Qiyam,

I do not know about the hadith you have quoted but logically it is contradicting.

The Prophet (saws) did not allow to do sajdah but allowed to kiss the feet. To kiss the feet the person has to do a sajdah? Hope you can clarify
Jazak Allah Kheir

The ‘Shariah’ revealed to Prophet Mohamed (saws) ‘sajdah’ is a rite of worship and the only being who deserves to be prostrated to, is the Lord of the Worlds and no one else. When Hadrat Ali (r.a.) became the Ameer ul Mu’mineen, some people who loved and respected him beyond imagination, came to Ali...

As believers we have to believe in the commandments of Allah! The sects are man made!!

And don’t they observe anything created by Allah: how it casts its shadow right and left, doing its ‘sajdah’ to Allah Alone? Thus do all things express their humility to Allah. All the animate creation in the heavens and the earth and all the angels do ‘sajdah’ in adoration to Allah Alone. They do n...

Do not do ‘sajdah’ to the sun and the moon, but do ‘sajdah’ to that Allah, Who Created them, if you really are indeed His worshippers.


Chapter 41 Surah Fusselat verse 37

‘ ‘Shirk’ or associating another in God-head with Allah, has three parts:

1. Shirk in Allah’s person

2. Shirk in Allah’s Attributes

3. Shirk in Allah’s Rights

Taghut In the Islamic and Quranic context, it basically means anything that is made to stand as an opposition to Allah, or any Shaitaan or any of his manifestations by which he seduces people to commit the unforgiveable sin of shirk. Iblis is taghut Syedna is a taghut! Budha is taghut Anything that...

Islam is a not a religion. Islam is the name of a full and comprehensive Way or System of Life which Allah calls as "Deen." Why do we argue about sects in Islam when the Quran clears all the doubts on this ayaat in Surah Muminun aayat #52 And this ‘Ummah’ of yours is one ‘Ummah’, and I (Al...

The Prophet (saws) said that a believer is only allowed to travel (specifically) to three places of worship: The Sacred House in Makkah, the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina, and the Masjid al Aqsa in Jerusalem.

Respected Brother Qiyam,

How does one identify a Awliya whom a believer invokes?

Can an awliya hear even if he is dead?

The Prophet (pbuh) did not prohibit weeping; but strictly prohibit was the act of wailing and beating oneself when afflicted with a calamity!

There is a difference between weeping and wailing.
The former act is natural and the later prohibited by the Prophet(pbuh)

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 2.390 Narrated by Anas bin Malik We went with Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) to the blacksmith Abu Saif, and he was the husband of the wet-nurse of Ibrahim (the son of the Prophet). Allah's Apostle took Ibrahim and kissed him and smelled him and later we entered Abu Saif's house a...

Sahih Muslim Hadith 2033 Narrated by AbuMalik al-Ash'ari Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Among my people there are four characteristics belonging to pre-Islamic period which they do not abandon: 1. boasting of high rank, 2. reviling other peoples' genealogies, 3. seeking rain by stars, a...

The ‘Aqiqa’ or sacrifice at the birth of a new-born is not a ‘fard’ or obligatory duty in Islam; it is a voluntary deed and a recommended Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws).

And the above sunnah is definately not a pagan ritual.

You guys have been using such such conjecture to prove everything from the Quran having the recipe for Biryani, to nuclear medicine. Herein lies the test of man! He can choose to ignore and deny his Creator, or he can choose to recognize and submit to his Creator in the ‘unseen’. He can choose to m...

Brother Khairan, I may have missed it, but it seems to me (on the issue of moharram) that you have not answered the challenge of whether the Qur'an explicitly forbids matam If the Quran is silent on the issue of Matam then we need to go to the traditions of the prophet (peace be upon him) Sahih Al-B...

Brother,The verse was to prove that the sacrifice ritual is not a pagan ritual

If nazr mukam could be spent as commanded by the prophet saws Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.11 A man asked the Prophet (saws), "O Allah's Apostle! What kind of charity is the best?" He (saws) replied. "To give in charity when you are healthy and greedy, hoping to be wealthy and afraid of ...

Not quite. Pilgrimage to Mecca, circumambulating the Kaaba and sacrificing a sheep when a child is born are just some of the pagan customs that the Prophet incorporated into Islam Dear Brother the above is the sunnah of the prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon him) and is mentioned in the Quran.. The pag...

Respected Brother Qiyam, The quotation is from the Hadith # 2526 in Sunan of Abu-Dawood and it is narrated by Anas ibn Malik The Prophet (saws) said: “Three things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, "There is no god but Allah" and not to declare him unbe...

Respected Brother Qiyam,

Can you quote the proof from the sunnah please.

Respected Brother Qiyam,

I was refering to the baarat which the kothar does on the believers.

============================================= Now about excommunication – it was never there. Daawa means invitation ============================================= Prophet Mohamed peace be upon him said “Three things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, "There i...

And you all belong to one and the same ummah, and I(Allah) am your Lord; so fear Me Alone! Yet afterwards the people divided themselves into different sects, and each sect rejoicing in what it has. Well, leave them deeply involved in their heedlessness up to an appointed time. QURAN 23 VERSES 52-24 ...

What is the difference between thaal wadhawanu and the act the Hindus do as "aarti"

Respected Mulla Qiyam, As salaam alei kum ================================================ Your quotation: The money is a nazr, nazr maqam, and is for the duah of the Imam az'Zaman to Allah to watch over ================================================ Is the above authentic of the prophetic sunnah?...
