life of the noble companion of the Messenger of Allah (saws): Hadrat Abdur-Rahmaan or better known as Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). "An Abi Hurayrata, radiyallahu anhu, qal.' qala rasul Allahi, sallallahu alayhi wa sailam..." Through this phrase millions of Muslims from the...

There is absolutely no mention of this ‘fantastic’ story of the imam going into ‘purdah’ in the Holy Quran or the Sunnah of the Messenger (saws). Thus obviously, it cannot be part of the deen of Islam. The best people to address this question would be the ones who propagate this fabulous story! They...

The only ‘imams’ or leaders that come to mankind and proclaim that they have been appointed the ‘imams’ are the Prophets of Allah. No one else has the right to come to mankind and declare that they have been appointed the ‘imams’. The Messengers of Allah Subhanah are the only people who have the rig...

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran verse 31-32: O Prophet, tell the people, “If you sincerely love Allah, follow me. Then Allah will love you and forgive you your sins, for He is All Forgiving, All Merciful.” Also say to them, “Obey Allah and His Messenger.” And if, in spite of t...

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet (saws) said: "The prayer of a man in congregation is twenty-five times more superior (in reward) to his prayer in his house or market.” Abu ad-Darda' narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: "If there are three men in a village or desert and ...

This issue of a believer refusing to pray behind another believer, did not happen at the times of the Prophet (saws). This arose only when some of the muslims created and invented sects in the Ummah of Islam, each refusing to pray behind the other… for no other reason, than arrogance and pride, and ...

Brother all the above hadiths clearly show the importance of Jumuah prayers as they are obligatory, and that time of the day is dedicated to the gathering and remembrance of the our Lord and Creator, Allah Subhanah. It is a clear command of Allah in the Glorious Quran, and a practice of the Messenge...

Sahih Muslim Hadith 448 Narrated byAbuHurayrah

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Five prayers and from one Friday prayer to (the next) Friday prayer is an expiation (of the sins committed in between their intervals) if major sins are not committed

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 62 Surah Jumuah verse 9:O you who have believed! When the call is made to the Prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off your trading. This is better for you, only if you know.

Jabir reports that a man came to the mosque on Jumu'ah while the Prophet (saws) was delivering the khutbah. The Prophet (saws) inquired of him: "Did you offer the salah?" The man replied: "No!" He (saws) told him: "Pray two rak'at." This is related by the Bukhari, Musli...

When Allah (swt) commanded the believers to offer the fridays prayers in the Glorious Quran, He arranged for the prayers to be taught to His Prophet (saws) by Hadrat Jibrael (a.s.); and the Prophet (saws) in turn taught it to the believers. This act of the Prophet of Allah (saws) performed and was w...

Brother even if we need to accept the narration that Hadrat Umar (r.a.) introduced in the adhaan, it cannot be considered a innovation, as it is not something which is not from the deen. Besides there were literally thousands of the noble companions of the Prophet (saws) alive at that time and none ...

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4590 Narrated by Irbad ibn Sariyah

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “You must follow my Sunnah and that of the Rightly-Guided Khalifas.”

Brother you have not answered the questions in discussion which were posted earlier. Reported Hadrat Zaid bin Thabit that the Prophet (saws) took a room made of date palm leaves mats in the mosque. The Prophet (saws) prayed in it for a few nights till the people gathered (to pray the night prayer (T...

==================================================== Can names change the substance of a reality. The evolution from a conventional dawoodi Bohra to a progressive now appears to be an exercise in futility. Most of the better thinking bohras are disillusioned by the hypocracy and exploitation that is...

Reply to Post 454 ==================================================== "Therefore, hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Caliphs, hold it between your front teeth! And beware of innovations (in the religion), for every innovation is a bid'ah, and every bid'ah is a deviatio...

Dear brother Khairan, Say, “Our Lord will gather us all together, then He will Judge between us with Truth. He Alone is the One Who Decides, and He Alone Knows everything.” (Holy Quran Chapter 34 Aayat 26) What! Have they taken besides Allah others as ‘shofa’a’ (intercessors)? Say to them, “Will the...

There are a few rules, if followed, one can easily realize if the hadith is genuine or not. If any hadith is directly against any commandment or statement of the Holy Quran, it will be immediately rejected. Simply because, it is inconceivable that the Prophet (saws) did or said anything against the ...

Quran on Evolution: We (Allah) created man from an essence of clay; then turned him into a sperm-drop in a safe place; then changed the sperm-drop into a clot of blood; and the clot into a piece of flesh; then turned the piece of flesh into bones; then clothed the bones with flesh; and then brought ...

What are the fore fathers practicing? When it is said to them, “Follow the Commands that Allah has sent down”, they reply, “We will follow only what we found our forefathers practicing.” Well, will they go on following their forefathers even though they did not use common sense and did not find the ...

I hope Aqa Moula knows that what Allah has mentioned in the Quran “So, you have come before Us all alone, as We created you at first. Now, you have left behind all that We gave you in the world. Now We do not see with you those ‘shufa’a’(intercessors), who, you believed, had a share in moulding your...
