3465: Which is better, to recite Qur'aan from the Mushaf or from memory? 

Question: 

Is it better to recite from the Mushaf than from memory? Please explain. 


Answer: 

Praise be to Allaah. 

If one is reciting Qur'aan in situations other than in prayer, then reading 
from the Mushaf is better, because it is more accurate and helps one to 
remember better. But if reciting from memory is easier and helps one to 
concentrate more and have better presence of mind (khushoo'), then one should 
recite from memory. 

In prayer, however, it is better to recite from memory, because if a person 
recites from the Mushaf, he will be doing repeated actions such as holding the 
Mushaf, putting it down, turning its pages and looking at the letters. By doing 
so he will miss out on putting his right hand over his left hand on his chest 
when standing during the prayer, or spreading out his arms during rukoo' and 
sujood, if he puts the Mushaf under his arm. Hence we think that it is 
preferable for a person who is praying to recite from memory rather than from 
the Mushaf. 

We see some people when they pray behind the imaam, carrying the Mushaf and 
following the imaam's recitation. This is something which should not be done, 
for the reasons we have referred to above, and because they do not need to do 
anything except follow the imaam. 

However, if the imaam does not have such a good memory, and he says to one of 
the members of the congregation, Pray behind me, and follow me (my recitation) 
in the Mushaf, and if I make a mistake, correct me, then there is nothing 
wrong with this. 

From the fataawa of Shaykh ibn `Uthaymeen, al-Fataawa al-Islamiyyah, 8/4).

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] War on Islam - Danish State TV Shows Cartoons Mocking Prophet Mohammad (saws)

“Boycotting of Non Essential Goods  Services from Countries  Organizations Which Are Hostile to Islam  Muslim Interests, is an Effective  a Non Violent Method of Showing Our Displeasure. This Should Be an On Going Policy By Governments, Businesses  Individuals  NOT a Knee Jerk Reaction to a Particular Incident or Situation” – AB  Danish TV Shows Cartoons Mocking Prophet MohammadFri Oct 6, 7:11 PM EThttp://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061006/wl_nm/denmark_cartoons_dc;_ylt=AiI.H03ydL1h8su_m1H_pv8UewgFCOPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Danish state TV on Friday aired amateur video footage showing young members of the anti-immigrant Danish Peoples' party engaged in a competition to draw humiliating cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad. The video images have surfaced little more than a year after a Danish paper published cartoons of the Prophet that sparked violent protests worldwide.The images, filmed by artist Martin Rosengaard Knudsen who posed as a member of the party for several months to document attitudes among young members, show a number of young people drinking, singing and drawing cartoons ridiculing the Prophet Mohammad. The faces of the young people were blurred in most of the footage. One cartoon appeared to depict the Prophet Mohammad as a camel, urinating and drinking beer. The competition took place in early August, according to Danish media.Another cartoon
 strip aired in the partly masked footage on state TV seemed to show the prophet Mohammad surrounded by beer bottles and included an image of an explosion. Members of the youth wings of other parties, including the ruling Liberal party, criticized the DPP on Friday. Kenneth Kristensen, a senior member of the DPP's youth movement, also criticized the events, but stopped short of apologizing."It's not my kind of humor and it would not have happened if I had been there. It must not be repeated," he told Danish state TV. The Danish Peoples' Party rose to prominence in a 2001 election on a platform that combines emphasis on increased spending on schools and care for the elderly with a strong anti-immigrant stance. It has been accused of racism, but has been a political ally of the center-right coalition led by Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen since 2001 and gained more than 13 percent of the vote in an election last year.In September last year Danish daily Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons, including one showing the Prophet Mohammad with a bomb in his turban. They were later reprinted elsewhere. Muslim clerics denounced them as blasphemous, sparking protests in which more than 50 people died in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.Most Muslims regard any depiction of the Prophet Mohammad as offensive.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Finding Islam ... Finding Truth

2006-10-11 Thread postquantum
It is a sad irony of America's otherwise senseless aggression in Iraq.

Many many Westerners are rejecting our leaders' demonization of the Muslim 
world, and 
instead coming through study to know and deeply love Islam.  

One need only read the Qu'ran, and the messages of peace, justice ... of 
Allah's power and 
plan, past and future ... come through clearly and strongly.  

I have read widely in many traditions (Christian, Buddhist, Aboriginal, etc.), 
and am 
increasingly convinced that there is, indeed, no better guide to the REAL 
nature of the 
spiritual and material universe and man's place in it - in turn glorious and 
ignominious.   

Before I read the Quran, I could ask in a thousand mundane ways:  Who is not 
paying the 
poor rate?  Who are the hypocrites?  Who is it that leads otherwise good 
men astray?  
What unseen forces are at work in our historical tragedy?  Why does God 
allow such evil 
to flourish in the world? Why must humanity suffer so greatly?

So far, I've found that only Islam gives me the tools and concepts to ask these 
questions in 
a way that connects logically at all relevant levels of meaning/existence.  

A few things seem key to the potency of this message:

- Allah is the Lord of the Worlds ... not just this world (modern physics also 
posits many 
worlds, of various sorts, 'material' and immaterial). 
- Allah is the Lord of the seen and the unseen (modern physics also posits such 
realms ... 
perhaps all about us).
- Allah is omniscient and omnipotent in an extremely practical way ... he can 
even choose 
NOT to know some things.
- Allah has given knowledge (including scientific knowledge ... parts of The 
Book?), which 
some have cheated and abused.
- Allah's plan is to bring about justice on a universal scale ... righting 
wrongs wherever 
and whenever they may be.

It is a powerful book... a great faith... the basis for humanity to move on to 
such great 
truths as have never been imagined by us... or, allowed TO us.  

I KNOW that Allah's plan is unfolding ... perhaps accelerating now, through our 
interactions.  I have seen this with my own waking eyes.  I have seen it in my 
dreams.  
Allah's 'new race of humans' ... is here, already... again(?)... returned?

Why now?  Simple.  Real technology ... real science ... on a wide scale.  

As we broadcast ideas, smash atoms, share learning from across the globe ... 
this is a time 
TRULY like no other in human history.  

Is Allah not the God of Science?   The God of Information?  Let us make the 
best of it.  

Bless, 

PQ

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Muslim Nobilty in Russia A Historical Perspective.

2006-10-11 Thread Mohamed Ismail
Bismillah Rahman Rahim,

Moslem nobility in the Russian Empire ( A Historical
Perspective).

The steady territorial expansion of the Russian
Empire, which at the time extended to the regions of
Siberia, Crimea, the Caucasus and Turkestan, as well
as a number of Polish territories along the Volga and
the Urals, in effect meant that many historically
Islamic nationalities came under Russia's rule. 

According to the first national Census of 1897,
approximately 14 million people out of the Nations 130
million were Moslems. The vast majority of those were
the Shiites, while in the regions of the Caucasus and
Pamir (now Tajikistan) a smaller section of Moslems
were the Sunnites. One of the most important goals of
the Imperial authorities was to establish solid
relations with the Moslem nobility, which, alongside
with the clergy and the merchants, was the leading
group of the Moslem community in Russia.

The hereditary nobility, the descendants of
Ghengisids, as well as other noble families
constituted a considerable portion of the Moslem
social elite. The relationship between the Russian
authorities and the Moslem minorities has seen the
periods of tension and strain. Although the word of
Islam and Moslem institutions were never officially
outlawed in Muskovy, the conversion into Orthodox
Christianity was generally quite welcomed. Several
hundred names of the Turkic origin are listed in the
Russian gentry statutes. The Usupovs, the Tenishevs,
the Urusovs and many others were the key figures of
the political, military and cultural history of
Russia.

In 1598 ?1605 Boris Godunov, a descendant of one such
family, became a ruling Czar of Russia. A number of
noble Tatar- Bashkir families offered their service to
the Russian Czar, while keeping their Moslem faith.
Such families were granted permission to keep their
land estates, and even received new lands. Their
service was paid from the Czar?s treasury, but
nonetheless they did not have rights to own Christian
serfs.

The 16th and 17th centuries saw the establishment of
the so-called Kasimov fiefdom, -a Moslem khanate,
located to the south of Moscow and vassal to Russia.
The governor of the Kasimov khanate had to be a Moslem
descendant of the Ghengisids; the lands were mainly
inhabited by the Tatars, who were bound by obligation
to serve to the Russian State. 

In the numerous wars waged by the Muscovite State
against its adversaries, detachments of Moslem Tatars
fought side by side with the Russians. The Moslem
soldiers helped Muscovy to achieve a decisive victory
over the militia of the city of Novgorod at the river
Shelon. In 1552 the Moslem troops of Kasimov Tatars
?the loyal vassals of Moscow- joined the Orthodox
Russian soldiers in their offensive against the Tatar
kingdom of Kazan. It should be noted that the
intrinsic conflicts that followed the annexation of
the regions along the Volga, were not, by and large,
based on the Russians vs. non-Russians principle- the
position of both parties was rarely determined by the
issues of national or religious identity.

The conflicts of this troublesome period were rooted
in the confrontation between the advocates of the idea
of the multinational state and the opponents of the
single Moscow-controlled State. To illustrate the
point, one could turn to the events of the year 1612,
when the combined Kazan force, comprised of the
Russians and the Tatars, arrived in the city of
Yaroslavl to serve in militia. After the split-up that
followed, a portion of Orthodox Christians and Moslems
stayed to serve the Motherland and free Russia from
the alien yoke. Others made a choice of going on with
their rebellion, and according to the chronicle,great
trouble and many calamities had they brought to the
land. In 1613, when the Zemskii Sobor elected Michael
Romanov as the new Czar, the deed was signed by a
large group of individuals, with perhaps 700 members.
Among those were the seven Tatar noblemen, who spoke
for the revival of the single Russian State on behalf
of the Moslems of Russia.

The reign of Catherine the Great brought about a major
change in the state religious policy and the attitude
towards Islam in particular. On June 17, 1773 the
Empress signed a landmark decree on religious
toleration in Russia. By the terms of the Kucuc
Kaynarca peace treaty, the Russian government was
obliged to ensure the inviolability of all religious
freedoms for Moslems. Since then and up to the early
20th century Russia recognized the Ottomans? right for
caliphate, or the supreme spiritual power over Sunnite
Moslems, even those under Russian authority. 

In the meantime the Russian government began pursuing
the policy of incorporating the Empires Islamic gentry
into the Russian noble class. As a result of this
policy, by the end of the 19th century there were
approximately seventy thousand of Moslem hereditary
and service noblemen, which amounted to up to five
percent of the total number of gentry.

The Moslem nobility found the state

5368: Rulings of al-Madd (elongation) in Qur'aan recitation 

Question: 

Would please tell me what the symbol ~ has effect on the meaning of word or 
phrase of the holy Quran

If some one does not Prolong the sound of the letter under ~ would that 
change the meanings ? 


Answer: 

Praise be to Allaah. 

This symbol ~ is used to indicate places where a Madd (elongation) that is 
longer than the regular elongation is required. It is used in places where the 
Madd is compulsory (Madd laazim), as in the word At-Taammah, where the 
elongation is six harakaat or counts. One harakah is equal to the time taken to 
curl or stretch one finger. This symbol is also used for al-Madd al-Muttasal 
(where a long vowel is followed by a hamzah in one word), such as sawaa'un 
`alaynaa , where the Madd is between four and six harakaat. And it is used for 
al-Madd al-Munfassal, (where one word ends with a long vowel and is immediately 
followed by a word that starts with a hamzah), as in the phrase fee 
aadhaaninaa waqar, where the Madd is four or five harakaat.

This symbol does not have any effect on the meanings of the words; it is only 
used to indicate some kinds of Madds or elongations, as explained above. The 
Madd which is longer than the regular elongation (two harakaat) does not change 
the meaning when you do it. But we have to follow the Sunnah of recitation, and 
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to elongate some 
vowels in his recitation. And Allaah knows best.
