[IslamCity] Sucess in reading Quran and Understanding it.

2006-02-05 Thread Mohammed Irfanullah



  When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud and the chest of the deceased. When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels, Munkar and Nakeer (namesof two special Angels), come in the grave and try to separate this handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate the dead man in privacy about his faith. But the handsome man says, "He is my companion, he is my friend. I will not leave him alone in any case. If you are appointed for interrogation, do your job. I cannot leave him until I gethim admitted into Paradise". Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, "I am the Qura'an, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a low voice.
 Do not worry. After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker, you will have no grief. When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from al_Mala'ulA'laa (the angels in Heaven) a silk bedding filled with musk. May Allah bestow this favour on all of us. AMEEN AMEENRasulullah (Sallalloho alaihe wasallam) said, "On the Day of Judgement, before Allah, no other intercessor will have a greater status than the Qura'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel."Please keep forwarding this "Hadith" to all ...because the Prophet(PBUH) said"Pass on knowledge from me even if it is only one verse"

[IslamCity] What is the ruling on reducing the hair of the eyebrows?

2006-01-23 Thread Mohammed Irfanullah



What is the ruling on reducing the hair of the eyebrows?Answer :   Praise be to Allaah.  If that is done by means of plucking, then it is haraam, and indeed it is one of the major sins, because it is the “namas” for which the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the one who does it. But if it is done by cutting or shaving, then it was regarded as makrooh by some scholars and forbidden by others who regarded it as a kind of “namas”. They said: “ ‘Namas’ does not only mean plucking, rather it is a general word which includes all ways of changing the hair for which Allaah has
 not granted permission, if it is on the face.” But what we think is that women should not do that unless the hair of the eyebrows is so thick that it hangs down over the eyes and affects her vision, in which case it is o.k. to remove that which is causing the problem.Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, part 3, p. 866 (www.islam-qa.com)  Question :   I have come across various Islamic articles  write-ups that have spoken against shaving of hair on eyebrows amongst other areas of the body. I however need clarification on this does this shaving refer to TOTAL shaving? Am I allowed to reduce the amount of hair by mere shaping
 ? I have very bushy eyebrows that need trimming as it makes my face look crowded.   Answer :   Praise be to Allaah.  We will quote for you the fatwas issued by the scholars concerning the ruling on removing hair from the eyebrows and hair from the rest of the body.  Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “If removing hair from the eyebrows is done by plucking, this is namas (plucking the eyebrows) and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the naamisah (the woman who plucks eyebrows) and the mutanammisah (the
 woman who has her eyebrows plucked). This is a major sin, and women are singled out in this ruling because they are the ones who usually do this, for the purpose of beautification, but if a man were to do it he would also be cursed, just as a woman is cursed for doing this, Allaah forbid.  If hair is removed from the eyebrows by a method other than plucking, such as by cutting or shaving, some of the scholars regard this as being the same as plucking, because it is changing the creation of Allaah, so there is no difference between plucking, cutting or shaving. This is undoubtedly more on the safe side, so a person must avoid that, whether man or woman.”  (Quoted from Fataawa ‘Ulama’ al-Balad al-Haraam, p. 577)  The following question was mentioned in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (5/196):  A young woman has very thick eyebrows that make her look bad. This girl was forced to shave part of the area between the eyebrows and to reduce the rest so that she will look acceptable to her husband.  The Committee replied:  “It is not permissible to shave the eyebrows or reduce then, because that is the namas (plucking) for which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the one who does it and the one who asks for it to be done. What you must
 do is repent and pray for forgiveness for what you have done in the past, and beware of that in the future.  Another question (5/195) was put to the Committee:  Namas means removing some of the hair of the eyebrows, and is not permitted, because the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the woman who plucks her eyebrows and the one who has that done, but it is permissible for a woman to remove a beard or moustache, if one grows, or hair from her legs or arms.”  The hadeeth which says that the woman who plucks the eyebrows or who has that done is
 cursed was narrated by al-Bukhaari (4886) and Muslim (2125), from the hadeeth of ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him).  The point is that it is haraam to remove any hair from the eyebrows, whether all the hair is removed by shaving, or some of it is removed by cutting. Anything apart from that is permissible, such as removing hair from the arms and legs, and the area between the eyebrows. The following appeared in Fataawa al-Lajnah (5/197):  Question: What is the ruling on plucking the hair between the eyebrows?  Answer: It is permissible to pluck it, because it is not part of the eyebrows.

Re: [IslamCity] Which is better, reading Qur'aan together or individually?

2005-11-10 Thread Mohammed Irfanullah



Reading Quran is better in first and we must do that only instead of asking how to read individually or with group.
As far as this question arises if one who wanna read Quran is not perfect in reading then he/she can read in presence of some one or group, but if one read good then they can read in both ways, and one must keep in mind there must not be proudness or ria showcase for this act if this is in there mind then all there deeds are for here and not for the day of judgement. so one must read first and read to understand and read to belive and obey on it.
May Allah give all of us this spirit of reading with meaning and obeying it in our lifes

Which is better, reading Qur'aan together or individually? Question: What is the manner in which Jibreel review the Qur'aan with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in Ramadaan? Does that indicate that it is better to study the Qur'aan together rather than individually? Is it better to do that at night rather than during the day? We hope you can explain. Answer: Praise be to Allaah. Shaykh Muhammad ibn `Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Firstly: With regard to how he reviewed it with him, I do not know how that was done. Secondly: With regard to whether it is mustahabb for people to gather to read Qur'aan together or for each person to read it individually, that depends on the person himself. If gathering with his brothers to study Qur'aan together will make him more focused
 and help him to learn better, then gathering with others is preferable, i.e., if gathering with others will make him have proper presence of mind and be more focused on pondering the meanings of the Qur'aan, and allow the opportunity to discuss the meanings, then that is better. But if it is the opposite then reading it on his own is better. Thirdly: With regard to Jibreel reviewing the Qur'aan with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), that was for the purpose of making sure that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) memorized it. With regard to the third part of your question _ which is whether it is better to do that at night rather than during the day _ the answer is yes, but a person may need to do other things which means that he cannot study Qur'aan at night, in which case he should study it more during the day. So each person should look at what is best for him, because of the general meaning of the words
 of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "Strive to do that which will benefit you." So whatever is more beneficial for you, so long as it is not forbidden according to sharee'ah, is best.

Re: [IslamCity] Women Covering Face During the Umrah Touching Parent's Feet

Face Covering During the Umrah  Touching Parent’s FeetEdited by Adil Salahi
http://www.arabnews.com/?page=5section=0article=70176d=16m=9y=2005pix=islam.jpgcategory=Islam

Question
I have a friend who wears the veil normally, covering her face when she goes out. However, she refuses to do so when she performs the Umrah. I tried to persuade her to wear the veil in Umrah, but she would not. Could you help me to convince her to do so?

Answer
I am afraid I cannot help you, because your friend is right and you are wrong. When a woman enters into the state of consecration, or ihraam, for the pilgrimage or the Umrah, she must keep her face and hands uncovered. This is the sign that she is in ihraam, in the same way as a man cannot wear ordinary clothes. If she covers her face, she is doing something wrong. This is a question of worship, and in worship we implement what is taught to us by the Prophet without deviation or modification. I realize that some people try to find justification for covering a woman’s face, even during ihraam. Good as their intention is, they are mistaken because women must not cover their faces in prayer or during ihraam. As for other times, a woman may choose to cover her face if she wants, but this is not an Islamic requirement. Islam requires a woman to cover all her body except her face and hands when she goes out.
 

Question
In India, it is a social tradition for sons to touch parents’ feet when greeting them. Is this acceptable? Please comment.

Answer
Any gesture that may be construed as something akin to worship is strictly forbidden, because no worship may be offered to anyone other than God. When you look carefully at this gesture, you are bound to conclude that it is one of extreme reverence that people do not do in every day situations. I understand that this gesture is particularly done on important occasions, such as when congratulating one’s elders on the occasion of the Eid. As such, one could only conclude that it is at least reprehensible, if not forbidden, even when no thought of worship is intended. 

Young people should explain to their elders that such a gesture is unacceptable from the Islamic point of view. Hence, they will express their respect in a different way. When such elders realize this, they will accept it without difficulty.

Time to Talk to Al Qaeda?
MOHAMMAD-MAHMOUD OULD MOHAMEDOU
September 14, 2005
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2005/09/14/time_to_talk_to_al_qaeda/

AS THE WAR between the United States and Al Qaeda enters its fifth year, the nature of the armed, transnational Islamist group's campaign remains misunderstood. With the conflict viewed largely as an open-and-shut matter of good versus evil, nonmilitary engagement with Al Qaeda is depicted as improper and unnecessary.

Yet developing a strategy for the next phase of the global response to Al Qaeda requires understanding the enemy -- something Western analysts have systematically failed to do. Sept. 11 was not an unprovoked, gratuitous act. It was a military operation researched and planned since at least 1996 and conducted by a trained commando in the context of a war that had twice been declared officially and publicly. The operation targeted two military locations and a civilian facility regarded as the symbol of US economic and financial power. The assault was the culmination of a larger campaign, which forecast impact, planned for the enemy's reaction, and was designed to gain the tactical upper hand.

Overwhelmingly centered on the martial aspects of the conflict, scholars and policymakers have been too focused on Al Qaeda's ''irrationality," ''fundamentalism," and ''hatred" -- and these conceptions continue to color key analyses. The sway of such explanations is particularly surprising in the face of nonambiguous statements made by Al Qaeda as to the main reasons for its war on the United States. These have been offered consistently since 1996, notably in the August 1996 and February 1998 declarations of war and the November 2002 and October 2004 justifications for its continuation.

Since the attacks on New York and Washington, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri have delivered, respectively, 18 and 15 messages via audio or videotape making a three-part case: The United States must end its military presence in the Middle East, its uncritical political support and military aid of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, and its support of corrupt and coercive regimes in the Arab and Muslim world.

Al Qaeda believes that the citizens of the states with whom it is at war bear a responsibility for the policies of their governments. Such democratization of responsibility rests, it has been argued by bin Laden, in the citizens' ability to elect and dismiss the representatives who make foreign policy decisions on their behalf.

Al Qaeda is an industrious, committed, and power-wielding organization waging a political, limited, and evasive war of attrition -- not a religious, open-ended, apocalyptic one. Over the past year, it has struck private and public alliances, offered truces, affected elections, and gained an international stature beyond a mere security threat.

It has implemented a clearly articulated policy, demonstrated strategic operational flexibility, and skillfully conducted low-cost, high-impact operations (Riyadh 1995, Dhahran 1996, Nairobi and Dar es Salaam 1998, Yemen 2000, New York and Washington 2001, Bali 2002, Istanbul 2003, Madrid 2004, and London 2005). Of late, this versatile actor has exhibited an ability to operate amid heightened international counter-measures.

No longer able to enjoy a centralized sanctuary in Afghanistan after 2002, Al Qaeda's leadership opted for an elastic defense strategy relying on mobile forces, scaled-up international operations, and expanded global tactical relationships. It encouraged the proliferation of mini Al Qaedas, able to act on their own within a regional context.

Consequently, and aside from the war in Iraq, between

Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] [IslamCity] Women : Covering the face (veil)


Is it necessary for a woman to cover her face in the presence of strangers (who are not her designated Mahaarim) according to Shariáh?




Answer 15617

2005-09-07





















This question is answered in this article in the context of the claim that the veil or Niqaab is primarily ‘a social requirement and custom according to the environment and custom and according to the environment and customs of a particular country.’ In endeavouring to answer the question, we will confine ourselves to a brief examination of the relevant Qurãnic verses. Surah An-Nur, Verses 30 and 31 ‘And Say to the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bossoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s f!
 athers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim women) (i.e. sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful’ It is apparent that upon a plain reading the purpose of the verse is to eradicate promiscuity, fornication and adultery and all the preliminary steps that lead directly to the commission of such shameful acts. The references to ‘lowering their gaze’, ‘drawing their veils over their bosoms’ and ‘striking their feet to draw attention’ indicate that all acts or omissions which, in the ordinary course leads directly to sexual promiscuity and FITNAH are forbidden. In order to totally eradicate sexual
 promiscuity and FITNAH, the verse goes on to say that a woman is not permitted to display her beauty and charms except in degrees to her husband, father and the other classes of person specified in the verse. The exempt class would constitute the MAHAARIM, and any other would qualify as strangers or GHAIR MAHRAM. The principle fixed by the verse is, therefore, that a woman cannot display her beauty to any male person other than the persons exempted by the verse. It goes without saying that the face is the focal-point of a woman’s beauty, and the main source of attraction. Hence, the face of a woman cannot be displayed or shown to a stranger in normal circumstances whether in public or private according to the general principle fixed by the verse as stated above. She is permitted to display her beauty to the exempt class (the MAHAARIM) for obvious reasons of close contact, and because of the considerably lesser danger of sexual promiscuity and FITNAH within that class. (Zama!
 khshari) The Shariáh, however, is practical, dynamic and takes into account the real situations of life. A woman may - in the case of genuine need - be forced to expose her face in the presence of strangers. For example, when she appears in court to give witness, etc. It is against this background that the preceding portion of the verse ‘they should not display their beauty and charms except what must ordinarily appear unavoidable’ falls into proper perspective. The words ‘Illaa maa dhahara min’haa’ are in context an exception to the general rule, and cover those cases of genuine need and necessity when a woman is forced to expose her face in the presence of a stranger. That is how the great commentators of the Noble Qurãn have interpreted the verse. Take the following two examples, ‘Women must not display any part of their beauty and charms to strangers except

There is no secret knowledge in Islam that is only for the awliyaa’ (“saints”)
Question: What is the ruling on one who claims that the rulings of the Qur’aan apply to the Prophets and the masses, and that esoteric, mystical knowledge (al-‘ilm al-laduni) which the awliyaa’ receive through mystic intuition is only for the awliyaa’? Answer Reference: islam-qaAnswer : 
Praise be to Allaah. 
Al-Shanqeeti said: 
Al-Qurtubi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 
Our Shaykh, Abu’l-‘Abbaas, said: some heretics who followed batiniyyah (esoteric teachings) wanted to follow a path that did not enjoin these shar’i rulings. They said: these general shar’i rulings are obligatory upon the Prophets and the masses only. As for the awliyaa’ and the elite, they do not need those texts. Rather what is required of them is what they receive in their hearts through intuition and the thoughts that dominate their minds. 
They said: this is because their hearts are free of anything that may cause distraction and of thoughts of anything other than Allaah. In this manner divine knowledge becomes manifest to them, and they discover the secrets of creation and learn the rulings concerning minor issues, thus they are no longer subjected to the holistic shar’i rulings. This is what happened in the case of al-Khidr who, by means of the knowledge that was made manifest to him was rendered independent of the knowledge that Moosa had. One of the things that they narrated was the words: “Consult your heart, no matter how many people give you fatwas and advice.” 
Our shaykh (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: These are the words of heresy and kufr; the one who says them should be executed without being asked to repent, because he has denied that which is known from the sharee’ah. For Allaah has set up the system by His wisdom in such a way that His rulings can only be known through His Messengers who are ambassadors between Him and His creation. They are the only ones who convey His Message and His words from Him, explaining His laws and rulings, and He has chosen them for that purpose. 
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“Allaah chooses Messengers from angels and from men. Verily, Allaah is AllHearer, AllSeer”
[al-Hajj 22:75] 
“Allaah knows best with whom to place His Message”[al-An’aam 6:124] 
“Mankind were one community and Allaah sent Prophets with glad tidings and warnings”[al-Baqarah 2:213] 
and there are other similar aayahs. 
In conclusion, we know definitely and for certain, and the consensus of the earlier and later generations states likewise, that there is no way to learn the rulings of Allaah, which have to do with His commands and prohibitions, except through His Messengers. Whoever says that there is another way through which His commands and prohibitions may be known, independently of the Messengers, is a kaafir who should be executed without asking him to repent; there is no need to question him. For this is stating belief in Prophets after our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), whom Allaah has made the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers, after whom there is no Prophet or Messenger. 
What that means is that whoever says that he has taken the ruling of Allaah from his heart or from what he received in his heart through intuition, and that he acts upon that and thus has no need of the Qur’aan or Sunnah, has claimed for himself the unique qualities of Prophethood, because this is like what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Holy Spirit [i.e., Jibreel] told me in my heart…” 
(From Tafseer al-Qurtubi). 
What he quoted from his shaykh, that the heretic should not be asked to repent, is the view of Maalik and those who agreed with him. We have explained the views of the scholars and their evidence, and what is most correct according to the evidence, in our book Daf’ Ayhaam al-Idtiraab ‘an Ayaat al-Kitaab, in the chapter on Soorat Aal ‘Imraan.

this is a hoax and nothing truth in this story of sufism and its shrines
there are no shrines in saudi or sufis in saudi.

These are those people who are followers of barelwi who thinks there aauliya are not dead and nauzbillah our Prophet SAWS aslo not died in there graves.

Prophet SAWS said in one time infront of sahaba Allah put them in hell those who made praying space or bowed infront of there aauliah and made them present with Allah in there prayers.

Why these people dont read Quran and Hadees because there aauliah or elder stop them from doing this if they read with meaning then these people will know the reality and will leave them 
so to keep ummah in dark and enjoy there superiority these are the acts they do against muslims people who are in path of Quran and Sunnah.

People from Quran and Sunnah does not call to pray for them They say pray as it was taught by Prophet SAWS and mention in quran and Sunnah.

If we do that we would get success else we would have to pay price for it on the day of judgement.

That evening I noticed that there was a plaque on the wall, written in Arabic, and sealed with a wax impression that appeared to be the standard of the royal family of Saud. I asked about it and this is what I was told.After he had performed his pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, Shaykh Mahboob [al-Gilani] remained in the Hijaz, teaching. King Abdul Aziz bin Saud had just recently taken control of the country and was under tremendous
 pressure from the Wahhabi scholars in Ryadh to control the emerging influence of the Sufis in the Hijaz, as well as the Shias and their interests in the shrines of the members of the Prophet's family. Succumbing to their threats, King Abdul Aziz launched a campaign against these two groups, by destroying the Sufi shrines of the awliya' and those of the Shia.Shaykh Mahboob after having petitioning the King on many occasions to stop these activities met with treachery. The king had put a warrant for the Shaykh's arrest. The Shaykh banded together with others wanting to preserve these holy places, and waged battles against any army that attempted to hurt or destroy these shrines. The conflict raged on for many months. The warrant for the Shaykh's arrest had become a bounty hunt as the king placed a large sum of gold on Shaykh Mahboob's head. After some time the Shaykh was arrested and brought to stand trial in the court
 of King Abdul Aziz. The trial lasted for but a few minutes, the charges were read and the sentence handed out.The Shaykh was brought in front of King Abdul Aziz. Shaykh Mahboob's head had already been wrapped in clothe and the axe and chopping block were already in the courtyard of the palace. The king leaned over to the Shaykh and asked if there were any last words. The Shaykh began to recite several poems about the qualities of the Prophet's family and how they should be remembered and cherished for all times. The king was moved to tears. For not only were the words of the Shaykh overwhelmingly beautiful but the king recognized those poems as having been written by his grandfather and recited to him almost every night.The king ordered the clothe to be removed from the Shaykh's head and for him to be set free. The king approached Shaykh Mahboob and humbly requested his forgiveness. From that day the king ordered
 that the shrines and holy places of the Sufis and the Shias be left in peace. As a personal show of gratitude to the Shaykh, the King decreed that from that day forward, Shaykh Mahboob would be the guest of the kingdom on the pilgrimage to Hajj. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia would cover all of his travel expenses and costs to stay in Mecca and Medina. The Shaykh was given an official plaque with this decree. It was this plaque, I asked about on the wall.Prior to receiving this gift, the Shaykh had already performed the Hajj for many years. When I had met him in 1983, he had already completed over 100 pilgrimages to Hajj. As far as we know, he holds the record for attending the pilgrimage".The complete and amazing story is in:http://www.nuradeen.com/Reflections/ShaykhMahboob.htmOther equally profound stories (of sunni awliyah) can be found at:http://www.nuradeen.com/Reflections/StoriesOfAwliya.htm

Assalamalaikum wa rahmatullahi barkatahu.
(This is the right way of all muslims to give peace upon other muslim brothers and sisters) not that only saying peace be upon.

Wahabism in the dictionary of islam is one who obeys Allah or (Allah Wala)

Wahabism is not a firqa its the followers who act upon Sunnah (hadees of Prophet SAWS) and Quran.

The wahabism name came from one of the big Scholar of Saudi arabia who destroyed all the graves which was prayed at that time in saudi arabia.

So in anger these people who pray to grave or keep faith in graves (mushrikeen) these people named the group as wahabi.

Alhamdulillah the name also given by these people are very good.
If one is not wahabi (Allah wala) then he/she is shaitan wala.

2. Even during the time of our prophet Kaba was rebuilt. He did not make any objection at that time.
3. When our prophet emigrated to Madina he left everything and went. When he captured Makka he did not reclaim his house. If he ever wanted that house to be preserved for posterity, he could have surely done that.
4. Under the present conditions where over two million muslims flock to Makkah for Haj every year what do you think the Saudi Authorities should do. Put up facilities for their comfort or make Makkah another ancient city where tourists can go on site seeing.
5. If Allah Ta'ala wanted to preserve the house of his beloved prophet for posterity he would have definitely given such a command in his Holy Book.
6. It is enough if all Muslims live according to the Qur'an and Sunnah rather than preserving this and that by following the other nations which have lost track of their religions, instead they go on preserving historical sites.

I have one last word.Several writers have written about Wahhabis and Wahhabism. Will some one enlighten me on what is Wahhabism.

What makes this demolition worse is the fact that the home of the Prophet is to make way for a parking lot, two 50-storey hotel towers and seven 35-storey apartment blocks; a project known as the Jabal Omar Scheme, all within a stone's throw of the Grand Mosque.

An eminent Saudi architect, he is a brave man in a country where courage is scarce. Today, he leads a one-man campaign to save the home of Muhammad. 
He told the London newspaper, The Independent, "The house where the Prophet received the word of God is gone and nobody cares ... this is the end of history in Mecca and Medina and the end of their future." 
The cultural massacre of Islamic heritage sites is not a new phenomenon. It is said that in the last two decades, 95 per cent of Mecca's 1,000-year-old buildings have been demolished. In the early 1920s, the Saudis bulldozed and levelled a graveyard in Medina that housed the graves of the family and companions of Muhammad. 
Today, the religious zealots in Saudi Arabia are not alone. Commercial developers have joined hands with them and are making hundreds of millions in profits as they build ugly, but lucrative highrises that are shadowing the Grand Mosque know as the Kaaba. 
The Muslim Canadian Congress has strongly condemned this outrage and called it a cultural massacre of Muslim heritage for the sake of profit. In a letter to the Saudi ambassador in Ottawa, Niaz Salimi, president of the MCC, has demanded an immediate stop to these demolitions and the placing of a moratorium on all future destruction of Muslim heritage sites. 
She writes, "The sacred places of Islam, regardless of where they are located, belong to the Muslim community worldwide. The countries where they are located are simply trustees and have no right to destroy them." 
Today Saudi petrodollars have the ability to silence even its most vocal critics, but when all is said and done, history will render a harsh judgment on those who try to wipe out its footprints and steal the heritage of all humanity.

Muslims belive that when a man dies by any way he or she will never come back or her soul will never come back to earth, as there soul is gone back to Allah and there they will be in barzaq, there they will be getting reward or punishment according to there deeds done in this world. until the day of judgement.

I belive that ther is Devil, jinn in the world as it mention in Quran by Allah,,, We created humans and jinns for praying to me.

And there is one devil in each human heart, these devil speak to other jinn who are out and then the trouble begins to them with that.

There are many ways to keep them away from home and them selves one such are last two chapters (Surah) of quran. 

These all belief of soul coming back to place where they got killed or died is of Hindus and other Kafirs this is reason they burn them after death and think that there soul wont come when there body is put on fire.. 

We as muslims must not belive in these all type of thinking and allegation of soul belive in jinns and devil as it is mention in Quran.

The below story is not a just fictuous story it is real story of a Sahabi who fought not for any supervisor or any nation he fought for Islam in the way of Allah during the period of Rasulullahi SAWS on the order of Prophet SAWS not on any supervisor order for any nation.

*~*THE HONEYMOON NIGHT*~*
wrote by Parvez Akther
THE AVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCY AROUND THE GLOBE FOR THE HUMAN NOWADAYS IS AROUND 60. For most humans most of the time of these 60 years is passed in mundane, routine activity; eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, working, sitting in front of the TV etc. So on the whole life is pretty routine for most of us. There are moments however in the life of most people which are more interesting than others and often these remain in our memories as long as our memories stay intact. Some of these memorable moments are: our first day in school, our entry into adolescence, our first day in university, our graduation from university, our first day at work, our first pay packet, our marriage night, the birth of our first child, the death of a loved one etc. Out of these the most enjoyable one for most people is the first night of marriage. Every young man probably looks forward to that night and
 usually the events of that day and night remain locked within his memory forever.Let us take you on a trip. Imagine it is your honeymoon night and you are enjoying the night. Let us imagine that in the middle of the night the phone rings and it is a colleague of yours, he tells you that there is very urgent work which needs doing and your help is required immediately. What would you do? Many of us would refuse outright and put the phone down. A lot of us would beg and plead with the colleague to give us at least until the morning. A tiny minority of us may actually explain to our newly wed wife that we have to go and leave. It depends on the nature of a person. What can be said is that it has to be a very strong willed person to depart for the call of duty from such a situation. Well there is a very interesting incident involving a very determined young man in such a situation. The chap was on his honeymoon night when he received a call from his supervisor that all
 available men were required to come immediately to confront an enemy fast approaching their town. The young man got up, got dressed, and left the warm embraces of his bride. He didn't have time for ghusl (major ablution required for a Muslim after he has been to his wife), and left to confront the rival army. During the ferocious battle the young man fought like a true warrior inflicting much damage against the opposition. The young man was so courageous that he didn't care about the numbers of enemy soldiers he took on. Eventually he himself was killed. After the battle had ended his body was being carried away by some of his companions. They noticed a strange sight never witnessed before. They saw water dripping from the body of the young man, without any rhyme or reason. There was no rain and the little sweat that there was had dried up a long time ago. There was no conceivable reason for the water to be dripping in quite large drops from his body. It was a frightening sight
 which they could not understand. They had to ask their teacher. But first they had to bury the young man. After that they went to their leader, they told him about the dripping water from the body of the young man. 'Oh that,' their leader said, 'that was angels washing the young man.' The companions were nonplussed. 'Why were the angels washing him?' they wandered, for they were unaware of the circumstances of the young man. They had no idea that he had joined them from the embraces of his bride on the first night. 'You see Allah almighty doesn't allow a person in a state of a janabah (major impurity after one has had sexual relations) to enter heaven, so He ordered the angels to give ghusl to this young man before he could enter it.'There are men who are not distracted

I dont know y some people always try to find some thing in saudi arabia weather it is good or bad they do but some people are always behind pointing there fingers on saudi arabia.. This happen that happen in saudi, 10 year girl marry in saudi, etc etc.

I thought earlier only non muslims do this because the are enemy of Saudi Arabia but seeing our Muslim brother or Sister do this i really feel Very sad Many times i said what ever you hear or read from any source dont comment on it unless you make it clear and authentic that the news which you read or heard is true or false, then comment on it if you are on that stage to comment, if you are also in one or other way not perfect then i think one does not have Authority to point his finger on others.

So please my muslim brother and sister Avoid from spreading any news on hearing until you verify it else leave it where ever u heard or u read there only.

If you dont do this then on the day of judgement you will be answerable to Allah and that day would be very bad for every individual who has passed his comments or news heard of any where or any news.

Specially i think in saudi arabia many good works also goes on, but no one highlight that only if there is some bad things in saudi arabia goes on All will point there fingers on it. Muslims brother/ sisters this is our country where we have holy sites if some human beings are bad then we cannot blame islam or whole muslim community, or whole saudi arabia. hope you who has send this below email has understood it

Fasting Wedding in Saudi ArabiaArab News (Comments in RED are Mine)
http://www.arabnews.com/?page=1section=0article=67350d=22m=7y=2005pix=kingdom.jpgcategory=Kingdom
TAIF, 22 July 2005 — A young Saudi though slow to start was quick to finish a wedding. And his marriage, which took three hours from proposal to honeymoon, was a record of sorts, Arabic newspaper Al-Madinah reported. The young man, wracked with doubt whether his proposal would be accepted by the would-be bride’s family, screwed up his courage and proposed. 
He was pleasantly surprised when the family accepted his proposal and asked him to marry her on the same day. Not one to let an opportunity slip away, the youth went to the hospital for the medical certificate and as he made his way home withdrew the SR3, 000 dowry money. The whole process from the moment he proposed and to the couple’s honeymoon took 3 hours. The members of both families too were surprised at the swift sequence of events that brought about a happy ending.
Comments – Mine
It seems that in Saudi Arabia the prospective bridegrooms have to provide a medical certificate to prove that they are not infected with any sex related diseases. This necessity is applicable only to men. The basis of this it seems is that it is normally accepted that promiscuity in Muslim societies are at a very low level compared to other societies. Even within that small percentage majority of the culprits are men compared to women. This is because men have more freedom to move around, meet people etc than women.
But it is unfair to stigmatize only the men by asking them to prove their medical fitness. We are living in an era where Muslim women are screaming for gender equality in all areas. In that context it is unfair on the part of the Saudi authorities to single out only the men for medical testing.

Re: [IslamCity] Moving the Finger in Tashahhud

2005-08-03 Thread Mohammed Irfanullah



Question : 
What is the detailed explanation for moving the forefinger during the Tashahhud, and is there a hadeeth about that? May Allaah reward you with good and benefit the ummah by your knowledge. Answer : 
Praise be to Allaah.  

It is Sunnah to point with the forefinger and move it during the Tashahhud, because of the report narrated by Ahmad (18890) and al-Nasaa’i from Waa’il ibn Hajar who said: I said, I will watch how the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prays. So I watched him and he stood up and said “Allaahu akbar,” and raised his hands until they were level with his ears, then he placed his right hand over his left and left wrist and left forearm. Then when he wanted to bow he raised his hands likewise. He put his hands on his knees, then when he raised his head he raised his hands likewise. Then he prostrated and put his hands level with his ears, then he sat resting on his left foot and placed his left hand on his thigh and left knee, and he put the elbow of his right hand on his right thigh. Then he made a circle with two of his fingers, then he raised his finger and I saw
 him moving it and making du’aa’ with it.” This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i.
Muslim (580) narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar said: When he – meaning the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – sat during the prayer, he would place his right hand on his right thigh and clench all his fingers, and point with the finger that is next to the thumb, and he would place his left hand on his left thigh.
According to a report narrated by Muslim from Ibn ‘Umar, when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sat during the prayer, he would put his hands on his thighs and raise the finger of his right hand that is next to the thumb, and make du’aa’ with it, and his left hand would be resting on his left thigh.
Al-Nasaa’i (1273) narrated that Sa’d said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) passed by me whilst I was making du’aa’ with my fingers and he said, “One, one,” and pointed with his index finger. Meaning: point with one finger, namely the index finger.
Ahmad (5964) narrated that Naafi’ said: When ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar sat during the prayer, he would put his hands on his thighs and point with his finger whilst looking at it. Then he said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “It is harder on the Shaytaan than iron,” meaning the index finger. This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Sifat Salaat al-Nabi (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), p. 159.
These ahaadeeth indicate two things:
1 – That one should point with the finger throughout the entire Tashahhud
2 – That one should move it when making du’aa’.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) explained the phrases narrated for the du’aa’ in the Tashahhud. He said:
Every time you make du’aa’ then move your finger towards upwards towards the One upon Whom you are calling, so we say:
Al-salaamu ‘alayka ayyuha’l-Nabiyyu (Peace be upon you O Prophet) – you should point your finger whilst reciting this because the salaam is a kind of du’aa’.
Al-salaamu ‘alayna (peace be upon us) – point your finger.
Allaahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad (O Allaah, send prayers upon Muhammad) – point your finger.
Allaahumma baarik ‘ala Muhammad (O Allaah, send blessings upon Muhammad) – point your finger.
A’oodhu Billaaih min ‘adhaaib Jahannam (I seek refuge with Allaah from the torment of Hell) – point your finger.
Wa min ‘adhaab il-qabr (and from the torment of the grave) – point your finger.
Wa min fitnat il-mahyaa wa’l-mamaat (and from the trials of life and death) – point your finger.
Wa min fitnat il-maseeh il-dajjaal (and from the trial of the Dajjaal) – point your finger.
Every time you make du’aa’ point upwards towards the One upon Whom you are calling. This is closer to the Sunnah.

Who has verified this story is right story
if none has done then remember that who ever passes story heard or read from any where without making proper enquiry then he/she is a liar and liar will be put in hell.
Read this below article and proof of verification through evidence of Quran ayet.








VERIFICATION 








Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan - hafidahullaah - relates:"Allaah - the Majestic, the Most High - orders us to verify any news that reaches us concerning a group or party from amongst the Muslims, when an evil news reaches us which necessitates fighting or opposing this group. Allaah - the Mighty, the Most High - orders us not be hasty and rush into this affair, until we have verified the matter. Allaah - the Most Perfect - said:
"O you who believe! When a wicked person comes to you with some news, ascertain and verify it, less you harm someone in ignorance and then afterwards regret for what you have done." [Soorah al-Hujuraat 49:6]
Meaning: If some news reaches you about a group or party from amongst the people, concerning an action that they have done and which deserves to be fought against, then do not be hasty about the matter, nor announce war against them, nor attack them - until you have verified the authenticity of the report."1
Imaam Muslim relates in his Saheeh (no.5):Abu Hurayrah radiallaahu 'anhu relates that the Prophet sallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: "It is enough to render a man a liar that he relates everything he hears."
Shaykh 'Alee Hasan al-Halabee said:"The daa'ee (caller) must be careful in everything, particularly with regards to what he hears from people, or what he reads in books. So it is an obligation upon him to check and verify everything which reaches his ears or eyes, before spreading it and circulating it amongst the people. His carefulness will be increased with regards two cases: Firstly, when what is being conveyed to him is connected to the Deen and the Sharee'ah, such as something being quoted as a hadeeth, or a fiqh ruling, and its like. Secondly, If someone reports something bad about a person, or an evil word from someone. He must check it correctness, carefully find out the reality and what is correct, and not hasten to transmit it and add it to the stream of news!"2

The Prohibition of Disclosing Unreliable  Uninvestigated NewsTaken from: Tafseer ibn KathirAllah said:”When there comes to them some matter touching (public) safety or fear, they make it known (among the people)” chastising those who indulge in things before being sure of their truth, disclosing them, making them known and spreading their news, even though such news might not be true at all. In the introduction to his Saheeh, Imam Muslim recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:”Narrating everything one hears is sufficient to make a person a liar.” This
 is the same narration collected by Abu Daawood in the section of Adab (manners) in his Sunan. In the Two Saheeh's, it is recorded that Al-Mughirah bin Shu`bah said that the Messenger of Allah (sall-Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) prohibited, "It was said,'' and, "So-and-so said.'' This Hadeeth refers to those who often convey the speech that people utter without investigating the reliability and truth of what he is disclosing.

The Saheeh also records, 
(Whoever narrates a Hadeeth while knowing it is false, then he is one of the two liars (who invents and who spreads the lie.” We should mention here the Hadeeth of `Umar bin Al-Khattab collected in the Two Saheeh’s. When `Umar was informed that the Messenger of Allah (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) divorced his wives, he came from his house, entered the Masjid and found the people talking about this news. He could not wait and went to the Prophet (sall-Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) to ask him about what had truly happened, asking him, "Have you divorced your wives'' The Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, "No.'' `Umar said, "I said, Allahu Akbar...'' and mentioned the rest of the Hadeeth. In the narration that Muslim collected, `Umar said, "I asked, `Have you divorced them' He (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa
 sallam) said, `No.' So, I stood by the door of the Masjid and shouted with the loudest voice, `The Messenger of Allah (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) did not divorce his wives.' Then, this Ayah was revealed, ”When there comes to them some matter touching (public) safety or fear, they make it known (among the people), if only they had referred it to the Messenger or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have understood it from them (directly).) So I properly investigated that matter.'' This Ayah refers to proper investigation or extraction of matters from their proper resources.

Dear brother and sister in islam

I dont know why we are discussing so much when some one bomb on this country where there can me much possibility of any one, no one knows the truth then Allah and those did.
But we muslim start speaking on that issue which we dont know or we dont make enquiry of it.
We just listen to that media which is run by kafir. and they give false report. As soon as bomb went off they said alqaida has taken responsibility next day one more group also took responsibility Do you think this is a game or joke every one day some or the other group take responsibility, and both group are so called muslim, Do you know what is muslim first, only just keeping name of muslims are not real muslims, Shia and Christians name are also like muslims, Muslims are those who submit fully to Allah and live on ProphetSAWSTeaching, We toay are only muslims Kafir bomb with napam and so much types of bombing in Afghanistan, Palestineand Iraq but no one in muslim world say this is terrorist act or right on it but when some people of kafir die whole world will send condolence to them. One might have seen the death of Bosnia, no one turn to help them and no one put on there agenda to talk of them just these people had been slaughterd and later
 on when all died except few every one start talking of them oh how barbaric killing and now some one did dont know if it was from any human being name as muslim or kafir but we muslim without verification must speak on it and blame on al-qaida or muslims. i dont understand why people think they are muslim when they kill any other innocent person, Quran or Islam does not permit to kill any innocent people When these so called muslim do this type of bombing then they are not muslims ok.
These are people who only think they are muslims. Its our duty as a muslim to fight these type of media and bombing by so called muslims and fight these kafir who are killing muslims in IRAQ, Afghanistan, Chechnia, Palestine. but we dont make our voice high on them or talk of them just talk of londoners bombing barbaric . or these that act.

And sister dont talk of specially muslim from pakistan Muslims are all over world not only pakistanis are muslims, Mostly 40-50 pakistanis are name muslim who just go to Dargah, Jannati gate for going in paradise, are they also muslims, as i earlier said Muslims are those who submit fully on teaching of Sunnah and Quran. Else they are just name muslims. Because the meaning of name muslim is Submission or obeying if you are master and ur slave dont obey you and do what ever he /she like then what you will do ? i think every one will know this answer.

I pray Allah gives us right path and to speak of muslim and feel the pain of our brother and sister in islam who are having pain in these countries where kafir are bombing them and torturing them and killing them Allah help muslims to fight against these kafir and give us success here and after

Alqaeda have take responsibiltyof bombing. we should thing why a muslim do that when the people of the country is with the muslims, are muslims moron ?.Islam never allow a muslim to kill acivilian even in state of war. The acceptanceof bombing by Alqaeda remove any doubt that they areUS intelligencefightingfor the sake of US interest.
 
 We muslims especially Pakistanisknow that Alqaeda was trained by US intelligencefrom 1980 till afghanistan war against USSR(soviets) and Osama BIn Laden was top US intelligence agent duringthat war. who know afterwards.

 Now muslims should always see a happening in its three dimensions because everyterrorist act are plantodestabilizemuslimin every aspects.Donot think that the acts of terror is done by muslims. But We should isolate act of terror with the jihad happening in Iraq,Afghanistan,Bosinia,Kashmir.

A Letter to the British People from a daughter of Iraq
Iman al-Saadun 
Friday, 8 July 2005 


I’m sending this letter to the British people and in particular to the residents of London. For a period of hours, you have lived through moments of desperate anxiety and horror. In those hours you lost a member of your family or a friend, and we wish to tell you in total honesty that we too grieve when human lives pass away. I cannot tell you how much we hurt when we see desperation and pain on the face of another person. For we have lived through this situation – and continue to live through it every day – since your country and the United States formed an alliance and laid plans to attack Iraq. The Prime Minister of your country, Tony Blair, said that those who carried out the explosions did so in the name of Islam. The Secretary of State of the United States, Condaleezza Rice, described the bombings as an act of barbarism. The United Nations Security Council met and unanimously condemned the event. I would like
 to ask you, the free British people, to allow me to inquire: in whose name was our country blockaded for 12 years? In whose name were our cities bombed using internationally prohibited weapons? In whose name did the British army kill Iraqis and torture them? Was that in your name? Or in the name of religion? Or humanity? Or freedom? Or democracy? What do you call the killing of more than two million children? What do you call the pollution of the soil and the water with depleted uranium and other lethal substances? What do you call what happened in the prisons in Iraq – in Abu Ghraib, Camp Bucca and the many other prison camps? What do you call the torture of men, women, and children? What do you call tying bombs to the bodies of prisoners and blowing them apart? What do you call the refinement of methods of torture for use on Iraqi prisoners – such as pulling off limbs, gouging out eyes, putting out cigarettes on their skin, and using cigarette lighters to set fire
 to the hair on their heads? Does the word “barbaric” adequately describe the behavior of your troops in Iraq? May we ask why the Security Council did not condemn the massacre in al-Amiriyah and what happened in al-Fallujah, Tal‘afar, Sadr City, and an-Najaf? Why does the world watch as our people are killed and tortured and not condemn the crimes being committed against us? Are you human beings and we something less? Do you think that only you can feel pain and we can’t? In fact it is we who are most aware of how intense is the pain of the mother who has lost her child, or the father who has lost his family. We know very well how painful it is to lose those you love. You don’t know our martyrs, but we know them. You don’t remember them, but we remember them. You don’t cry over them, but we cry over them. Have you heard the name of the little girl Hannan Salih Matrud? Or of the boy Ahmad Jabir Karim? Or Sa‘id Shabram? Yes, our dead have names too. They
 have faces and stories and memories. There was a time when they were among us, laughing and playing. They had dreams, just as you have. They had a tomorrow awaiting them. But today they sleep among us with no tomorrow on which to wake. We don’t hate the British people or the peoples of the world. This war was imposed upon us, but we are now fighting it in defense of our selves. Because we want to live in our homeland – the free land of Iraq – and to live as we want to live, not as your government or the American government wish. Let the families of those killed know that responsibility for the Thursday morning London bombings lies with Tony Blair and his policies.


Stop your war against our people! 
Stop the daily killing that your troops commit! 
End your occupation of our homeland!

Re: [IslamCity] Hair color. Is it halal or not?

2005-07-09 Thread Mohammed Irfanullah



Praise be to Allaah.  

It was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that dying the hair black is not allowed. That is mentioned in the hadeeth of Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that Abu Quhaafah, the father of Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq, was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to give his oath of allegiance, and his hair was completely white. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Change this, but avoid black.” Narrated by Muslim.
Dyeing the hair black is not allowed, whether the hair was red or white. The scholars have stated that the reason why it is not allowed to dye the hair black is because of the deception involved, as it makes a person appear to be something he is not, especially since a person’s age may be known from the colour of his hair, whether it is black or white or a mixture of the two. So dyeing the hair black makes him look young when he may be middle aged or an old man.
Based on this reason, if there are no white hairs and there is no intention to deceive, as in the case asked about here – where the questioner’s hair was black then its colour changed to red – is it permissible to dye the hair black?
It better to be on the safe side and avoid that, because of the wording of the hadeeth and in accordance with it, especially since the reason mentioned – namely cheating and deception – is an implicit reason which some of the scholars stated was what was meant here, but it was not stated expressly by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
It should be noted that the Muslim woman understands the importance of time, and recognizes that this world is a preparation for the Hereafter. So she should not spend much of her time or most of her time on matters of her body, clothing and adornments at the expense of her worship, educating her children, calling others to her religion and treating others with kindness. That does not mean that she should not adorn herself, rather she should adorn herself with that which Allaah has permitted, within reasonable limits as regards how she does it and how much time she spends on that.
Moreover she should not pay attention to every new thing that comes along, adopting and following every new fashion that she sees. That may lead her to imitate kaafir women and immoral women, let alone wasting time and money that she could put to better use which would be more beneficial to herself and to her ummah.
And Allaah is the One Whom we ask to guide us to do and say that which is right and true.

Question : 
I have noticed that some of my colleagues at work have their beard painted or turned into the black color, and when asked they say that it in the SUNNAH to paint in what is called (katm).My questions are:1)-Are we allowed in any way to paint our hair (head or beard) with black even if it is with this KATAM ?2)-What is this KATAM, does have a black color and is it true that some of the SAHABA used it ?
Answer : 

Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly: dyeing grey hairs is Sunnah and is part of the teachings of Islam. It means dyeing grey hairs on the head and in the beard, for men. For women, it refers to the hair of the head. 
It was reported that Abu Hurayrah said: the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Jews and the Christians do not dye their hair, so be different from them.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3275; Muslim, 2103).
It was reported that Abu Umaamah (may Allaah be pleased him) said: “O Ansaar, dye your hair red and yellow, and be different from the A’aajim (Persians).” (Narrated by Ahmad, 21780. The isnaad of this hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar in al-Fath, 10/354).
Secondly: changing grey hair by dyeing it black is haraam. This is the opinion of the majority of scholars, who forbid it completely, because of the hadeeth of the Messenger  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), when he saw Abu Quhaafah. Jaabir said: the Messenger of Allaah  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him_ said, when he saw his head looking as white as the thaghaamah plant, “Change this…” (Narrated by Muslim, 2102).
And the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: There are people who dye their hair black like the crops of pigeons; they will never smell the fragrance of Paradise.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4212; al-Nasaa’i, 5075).
Ibn Hajar said: the isnaad of this hadeeth is qawiy (strong), but there is some dispute as to whether it is marfoo’ (narrated from the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) or mawqoof (the isnaad stops at the Sahaabi). But even if we agree that it is mawqoof, it still has the status of being marfoo’, because the Sahaabah would not have spoken on the basis of their own opinions, i.e., it must be something that they heard from the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)). Fath al-baari, 6/499.

Dear Brother 
read this below and this is for muslims sunni not for those who dont belive in our prophet SAWS as there prophet, as i belive shia dont belive in our Prophet SAWS as there last and final prophet 

Praise be to Allaah.  

Capital punishment applies in the case of a person who meets any of the following conditions:
1 – The apostate. The apostate is one who disbelieves after being a Muslim, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever changes his religion, execute him.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6524.
2 – The married adulterer. The punishment in this case is to be stoned to death.
Al-muhsan or the married person here means one who got married and had intercourse with his wife in the vagina, in a legitimate marriage in which both parties are free, of sound mind and adults. If a married man or woman commits adultery, then they are to be stoned to death, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Learn from me. Allaah has given them a way out. If an unmarried person commits fornication with an unmarried person, (the punishment is) one hundred lashes and exile for one year. If a married person commits adultery with a married person, (the punishment is) one hundred lashes and stoning.” (Narrated by Muslim, 1690).
And al-Bukhaari (2725) and Muslim (1698) narrated from Abu Hurayrah and Zayd ibn Khaalid al-Juhani (may Allaah be pleased with them) that they said: “Two men from among the Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, I adjure you by Allaah to judge me according to the Book of Allaah.’ The other disputant – who was smarter – said: ‘Yes, judge between us according to the Book of Allaah and give me permission to speak first.’ 
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Speak.’
He said, ‘My son was employed by this man, and he committed adultery with his wife. I was told that the punishment for my son would be stoning, but that he could be ransomed for one hundred sheep and their offspring. I asked the people of knowledge and they told me that the punishment for my son would be one hundred lashes and exile for one year, and that this woman would be stoned.’ 
The Messenger of Allaah (S) said: ‘By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I will judge between you according to the Book of Allaah. The offspring and sheep will be returned (i.e., there is no ransom), and your son is to be given one hundred lashes and exiled for one year. O Unays [who was one of the Sahaabah], go tomorrow to that woman and if she admits (this crime) then stone her.’ So he went to her the next day and she admitted it, and the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) issued orders that she be stoned.
3 – The murderer (one who kills deliberately). He is to be killed in retaliation (qisaas) unless the victim’s next of kin let him off or agree to accept the diyah (blood money), because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“O you who believe! Al-Qisaas (the Law of Equality in punishment) is prescribed for you in case of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the killer is forgiven by the brother (or the relatives) of the killed against blood money, then adhering to it with fairness and payment of the blood money to the heir should be made in fairness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. So after this whoever transgresses the limits (i.e. kills the killer after taking the blood money), he shall have a painful torment”
[al-Baqarah 2:178]
“And there is (a saving of) life for you in Al-Qisaas (the Law of Equality in punishment), O men of understanding, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)”
[al-Baqarah 2:179]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “It is not permissible (to shed) the blood of a Muslim who bears witness that there is no god but Allaah and that I am the Messenger of Allaah, except in three cases: a married adulterer, a soul for a soul, or one who leaves the religion and splits from the jamaa’ah.” 
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6484; Muslim, 1676).
4 – Bandits, i.e., al-muhaarib, the one who wages war against Allaah and His Messenger. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“The recompense of those who wage war against Allaah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off from opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter”
[al-Maa'idah 5:33]
5 – Spies. The spy is the one who spies on the Muslims and transmits information to their enemies.
The evidence for that is the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (3007) and Muslim (2494) which says that Haatib ibn Abi Balta’ah wrote to some of the mushrikeen in Makkah telling them some information about the Messenger of

Are there Baseless Stories in the Fazaail Aamal that harm the Aqeedah (Beliefs)?
QUOTE 1: Moulana Zakariyah mentions in Fazaail-e-Hajj, “Once one of the Abdaal met Khidr and inquired from him whether he had ever met anyone among the saints whom he considered higher in rank than himself. To this he replied, ‘Yes, I have. I was present once in the Masjid in Medina, where I saw Hazrat Shaikh Abdur Razzak directing Hadeeth to his students. On one side was a young man sitting with his head bent on his knees. I went to him and addressed him thus, ‘do you not see the gathering listening to the words of Rasoolullah. Why do you not join them?’ Without lifting up his head or turning in my direction the youth answered: “Over there you see those who listen to the Hadeeth from the mouth of Abdur-Razzak (the slave of the sustainer), while over here you see him who listens to Hadeeth directly from Ar-Razzak (Allah).” Khidr said to him, “If what you say is true
 then you should be able to tell me who I am. Who am I?” He lifted up his head and said, ‘If my intuition does not fail me then you are Khidr.’ Hazrat Khidr said, “From that I realized that among the saints of Allah there are such who are so exalted in rank that I cannot recognize them.”
[Fazaail-e-Aamaal, Virtues of Hajj, (Eng. Trans.), Chapter.9, story no.9, p.171, (New Edition 1982, Published by Dini Book Depot - Delhi).]
NOTE: The Deobandi translator of Ikhmaalush Shiyaam defines an Abdaal saying, “Abdaal are a class of Awliya whose identities remain concealed. They possess miraculous powers and execute a variety of tasks under Divine Command in various places of the world.” (Astagfir-Allah) [Ikhmaalush Shiyaam (Eng. Trans.) p.59.]
This Deviant Story Promotes that the false belief that someone can receive knowledge directly from Allah without the mediation of the Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) and to receive knowledge from Allah is something specific for the Messengers. This store make this so-called Abdaal equal to Prophet Moosa (alaihis-salam) and our Messenger Muhammed (sallaallahu alaihe wa-sallam) who spoke directly to Allah.


QUOTE 2: Allah says in the Quraan, “Verily! Allah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the womb. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware.” [Soorah Luqman (31): 34]But the Fazaail Aamal says, “Abul Husain Maliki says that he associated with Shaikh Khair Nurbaf for several years. The Shaikh said to him, eight days before his death. ‘I shall die on Thursday evening, at the time of Maghrib Salaat, and I shall be buried on Friday after Jumuah Salaat.” Although, he advised me not to forget, but I forgot about it and, on Friday morning, a man told me about the Shaikh’s death. I immediately went to his place… asked people the details of the Shaikh’s experience of death. A person… narrated to me that the
 Shaikh swooned for a while just before Maghrib Salaat. Then, he recovered somewhat and said to someone in the corner of the room, who was invisible to others, ‘Stop for a while; you have been commanded to do a thing and I have been commanded to do a thing. That which you are commanded to do (viz. to take my life) will not escape you, but that which I am commanded to do (viz. to observe Maghrib Salaat) will escape me. Let me do as I am commanded.” He then called for water, made a fresh Wudhu and performed Maghrib Salaat. After this, he laid himself on the bed, closed his eyes and gave up his life.”
[Fazaail-e-Aamaal, (Eng. Trans.) Virtues of Charity, Chapter.6, p.609, (2nd South African Impression 1414-1993. Published by Waterval Islamic Institute)]This Deviant Story Promotes that certain individuals know the place and time of their death and even make the Angel of Death wait until they have finished their prayers.


QUOTE 3: Moulana Zakariyah mentions in Fazaail-e-Aamaal, Shaikh Abu Yazeed Qurtabi heard from someone that whoever recited it (the Kalimah: La-ilaha ill-Allah-ho) seventy thousand times he or she would be immune from the fire of the Hell. He completed a course accordingly for his wife and many other courses for himself. There lived a youth nearby who, it was said was ‘a man of Kashf’ and had the foreknowledge of the events of Paradise and Hell. One day it so happened that while sharing a meal with him he suddenly made a loud cry and began to gasp, and exclaimed that his mother had been cast into Hell (burning into the fire of Hell). Shaikh Qurtabi keenly observed the condition of the youth and decided to offer a course for his mother secretly so that the fact that the youth possessed a foreknowledge of the Unseen and the truth of his mother’s sad
 plight in Hell would be ascertained. The Shaikh said that he did it so secretly that nobody could knew it, except the Almighty, Allah. But the youth soon expressed his gratitude and said that now his mother had got rid of the

I've found the following from Fadha'il A'maal' (Thaalim book)  Fadha'il Haj of Zakhariya Sahib, the famous books of Tabligi Jamaat that the Tabligi people used to read openly after the prayers in many masjids and in their homes, mainly in Asian countries. Also this Urdu book has been translated into many languages except Arabic. Here I've quoted some fabricated stories with reference from the above mentioned books for your eyes, to check whether is it allowed to preach this type of stories in our masjids that would corrupt our belief (Aqeedah). 
See Fazail Hajj (Urdu page 138, Tamil page 225)
"When you see the green dome then it should be with awe and reverence and you should take care of the honour of the Huzoor and reflect that in that pure dome is he who is the best of creation, leader of the prophets and virtuous the Angels. The place of the holy grave is superior than any other place and that place which touches the holy body of the Huzoor is superior to the Ka'bah, superior to Arsh, superior to Kursi in fact superior than everything in the heavens and earth." 
See Fazail Hajj (Urdu page 141, Tamil page 224)
"When you visit anyone's grave, you should proceed from the direction of the feet because if Allah has given the dead the power of Kashf then it is easy for him to see you because when the dead turns to his right in his grave then his sight falls towards your feet. And when anyone approaches the grave from the head side of the dead then the dead has trouble and difficulty in seeing you"
See Fazail Hajj (Urdu page 164, Tamil page 267)
"One person asked Khidr that, "Have you ever seen any wali who is better than you?" Khidr replied, "Yes, I have. I once visited the masjid of the prophet. I saw Imaam Abdur Razzaq Muhaddith and he was teaching Ahadith. The crowd and I listened to the Ahaadeeth from him. In one corner of the masjid there was a youngster sitting who had kept his head between his knees away from the crowd. I said, Do you not see that ahaadeeth of the prophet are being taught? Why don't you also attend the circle? He neither lifted his head nor did he look at me and said, 
"In that place are those who listen to ahaadeeth from the slave of Razzaq. But I'm the one who listen to Ahaadeeth from the Razzaq, not from the slave of Razzaq." 
Hadhrath Khidr said that , "If you are indeed speaking the truth then tell who am I? He raised his head and said that, "If I am not mistaken, then you are Khidr," Hadhrat Khidr then said, "From this I came to know that there are such wali of Allah whom even I cannot recognize."

"It has been reported from a number of companions and from amongst them Hadhrat Uthman, Hadhrat Abo Hurairah, Hadhrat Anas, etc. In different wordings that there are some people who posses the ability of KASHF. They can feel the sins being committed by people. Therefore the story of the Imam of the world Hadhrat Abu Haneefa is famous that he used to see the sins of the people fall out as they performed wudu."

Imaam Abu Hanifa (Rahmatullah alaih) is famous for his vigil, it is said that for thirty, forty or fifty years (according to the information of different narrators) he offered his Fajr prayer with the Wudhu for Isha. He would go to sleep only for a few minutes in the afternoon saying, "It is 'Sunnat' to sleep in the afternoon." 
It is said about Said bin Almusayyab (Rahmatullah alaih) that for fifty years he offered his Fajr prayer with the 'Wudhu' performed at Isha. 
Imaam Ghazzali (Rahmatullah alaih) on the authority of Abu Talib Makki reported the same practice by no less than forty 'Tabais', some of whom had been doing it for forty years continuously. 
Abu Atab Salimi (Rahmatullah alaih) is reported to have been fasting during the day and weeping during the night for full forty years.

Assalamalaikum brother in islam

Brother i think you did not gave the right information of punishment to that zani
According to the Surah noor ayet if zani is not married then 100 lashes and if he is married then he would be stone to death ok.

Secondly if the women also did by her own wish and will then she also will get same punishment. that is stoning to death.

This punishment is compulsory if this case comes to court of islam or in public it is known by all muslims. As it is shown in tv now whole world muslims know this news and its 100 percent must to execute this man as it is compulsory in islam if we are muslims.

Thirdly Nikah is Halal work and Zina is haram work One who did Zina (haram) that does not break any Halal work or relation as here one must always understand that the father in law is mahram and he did zina with this lady forcebly so According to Hadeeth by Prophet SAWS No Hala or Jayez relation will break by Haram work, these fatwa giving people dont have authentic proof of what they say, just they are thinking physically if any man rape any girl does that mean he is know the husband of that lady if even that lady is his sister or any other mahram relation, If any one spread humors without authentic proof then he is a big sinner and he will be put in Jahannam for proof see below the ayet and details on this verification issue.
As in this issue she is still wife of that man whom she got married and that zani will have to be get punished by law if there is no shariah law then being muslim one must do what is sunnah if your emaan is very low then think that in your mind this work is very bad and forget it.
Imagine if it happened it with your sisters or with your daughters then this question would not arise who will punish this zani.

Follow the right path of Prophet SAWS and not madhab which has been created after the prophet if you dont get answer from Quran and Hadees then see these ulama fatwa or there saying if you do this then you will get all the answers for the question arises in your mind.


Jazakallah khair

VERIFICATION 








Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan - hafidahullaah - relates:"Allaah - the Majestic, the Most High - orders us to verify any news that reaches us concerning a group or party from amongst the Muslims, when an evil news reaches us which necessitates fighting or opposing this group. Allaah - the Mighty, the Most High - orders us not be hasty and rush into this affair, until we have verified the matter. Allaah - the Most Perfect - said:
"O you who believe! When a wicked person comes to you with some news, ascertain and verify it, less you harm someone in ignorance and then afterwards regret for what you have done." [Soorah al-Hujuraat 49:6]
Meaning: If some news reaches you about a group or party from amongst the people, concerning an action that they have done and which deserves to be fought against, then do not be hasty about the matter, nor announce war against them, nor attack them - until you have verified the authenticity of the report."1
Imaam Muslim relates in his Saheeh (no.5):Abu Hurayrah radiallaahu 'anhu relates that the Prophet sallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: "It is enough to render a man a liar that he relates everything he hears."
Shaykh 'Alee Hasan al-Halabee said:"The daa'ee (caller) must be careful in everything, particularly with regards to what he hears from people, or what he reads in books. So it is an obligation upon him to check and verify everything which reaches his ears or eyes, before spreading it and circulating it amongst the people. His carefulness will be increased with regards two cases: Firstly, when what is being conveyed to him is connected to the Deen and the Sharee'ah, such as something being quoted as a hadeeth, or a fiqh ruling, and its like. Secondly, If someone reports something bad about a person, or an evil word from someone. He must check it correctness, carefully find out the reality and what is correct, and not hasten to transmit it and add it to the stream of news!"2

what does this mean is it that they dont know of covering there faces or does it mean they were not wearing full length clothes.

I think people today take what ever there forefathers or there group ulama said to them
they just follow blindly or interprete quranic verses in there own style so it would fit there 
If women does not cover her face then what is the use of hijaab 

One can see today that if face is not seen of any lady then there is no feeling for that lady
if you see the face then you would definetly feel some thing or your mind or heart say good or bad on that lady by seeing face so what does it mean its like attracting towards opposite sex does this not makes fitna in momins Well here you can do what ever u like but
if you do according to Quran and Sunnah and shahih ul hadees of Bukhari Muslim and others then one will know what is right and what is wrong.
Please dont stuck on one person comments or view or fatwa research if you want the right path you have to struggle and pray to Allah to show us all right path to success.

Question : 
Is wearing niqaab one of the conditions of Islamic dress for women? Answer : 

Praise be to Allaah. 
Hijaab in Arabic means covering or concealing. Hijaab is the name of something that is used to cover. Everything that comes between two things is hijaab. 
Hijaab means everything that is used to cover something and prevent anyone from reaching it, such as curtains, door keepers and garments, etc. 
Khimaar comes from the word khamr, the root meaning of which is to cover. For example, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Khammiru aaniyatakum (cover your vessels).” Everything that covers something else is called its khimaar. 
But in common usage khimaar has come to be used as a name for the garment with which a woman covers her head; in some cases this does not go against the linguistic meaning of khimaar. 
Some of the fuqahaa’ have defined it as that which covers the head, the temples and the neck. 
The difference between the hijaab and the khimaar is that the hijaab is something which covers all of a woman’s body, whilst the khimaar in general is something with which a woman covers her head. 
Niqaab is that with which a woman veils her face (tantaqib)… 
The difference between hijaab and niqaab is that the hijaab is that which covers all the body, whilst niqaab is that which covers a woman’s face only. 
The woman’s dress as prescribed in sharee’ah (“Islamic dress”) is that which covers her head, face and all of her body. 
But the niqaab or burqa’ – which shows the eyes of the woman – has become widespread among women, and some of them do not wear it properly. Some scholars have forbidden wearing it on the grounds that it is not Islamic in origin, and because it is used improperly and people treat it as something insignificant, demonstrating negligent attitudes towards it and using new forms of niqaab which are not prescribed in Islam, widening the opening for the eyes so that the cheeks, nose and part of the forehead are also visible. 
Therefore, if the woman’s niqaab or burqa’ does not show anything but the eyes, and the opening is only as big as the left eye, as was narrated from some of the salaf, then that is permissible, otherwise she should wear something which covers her face entirely. 
Shaykh Muhammad al-Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 
The hijaab prescribed in sharee’ah means that a woman should cover everything that it is haraam for her to show, i.e., she should cover that which it is obligatory for her to cover, first and foremost of which is the face, because it is the focus of temptation and desire. 
A woman is obliged to cover her face in front of anyone who is not her mahram (blood relative to whom marriage is forbidden). From this we learn that the face is the most essential thing to be covered. There is evidence from the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the views of the Sahaabah and the imams and scholars of Islam, which indicates that women are obliged to cover all of their bodies in front of those who are not their mahrams. 
Fataawa al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah, 1/ 391, 392) 
Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) said: 
The correct view as indicated by the evidence is that the woman’s face is ‘awrah which must be covered. It is the most tempting part of her body, because what people look at most is the face, so the face is the greatest ‘awrah of a woman. This is in addition to the shar’i evidence which

Question : 
I am a female college student. My problem is that I have gotten to know a young man over the internet. In the beginning the relationship was one of respect and exchanging information, until it turned into love. My mother rejects the idea of me marrying him, and she has threatened to tell my father about this relationship. I cannot do without him and he feels the same way, because he has told me that he will commit suicide if we cannot get married. I hope that you can advise me. I cannot be apart from him and he does not. Answer : 
Praise be to Allaah.  

Note – may Allaah bless you – that our great religion firmly warns us against forming relationships between the sexes outside the framework of marriage and firmly closes the door to the calamity of introduction programs that are propagated by means of newspapers, magazines and the internet. These warnings are a means of warding off fitnah (temptation and tribulation) and preventing love affairs which usually lead people to commit acts of grave immorality and transgression of the sacred limits set by Allaah – Allaah forbid – or they lead them to marriages that end in failure and are filled with suspicion and mistrust. 
First of all, you made a mistake by entering the chat room before knowing what the Islamic ruling on that is. Then you made another mistake by forming a relationship and friendship with a young man who is not related to you.
Beware of making a third mistake by marrying him because he claims to love you sincerely and you are afraid that he may commit suicide!
Marriage that is not based on a sound Islamic foundation is doomed to end in failure and regret. A young man who has spent all this time forming a relationship with a girl through chat rooms and telephone calls is in fact a young man who has no religious commitment, modesty or manners, and he cannot be entrusted with the honour of the Muslims. His threat to commit suicide means one of two things:
Either he is sincere in his threat, which means that he is very weak in faith, because killing oneself is a major sin – may Allaah keep us safe and sound;
Or he is lying, which means that he is a hateful opportunist and a fool, as well as a selfish individual who cares only for his own personal interests. 
If you were to marry this person, it would not take very long before suspicions arose which would lead to him losing trust in you and not having a peaceful or relaxed life with you. From his point of view, a girl whom he gets to know through talking on the phone or through chat rooms cannot be trusted not to form relationships with others. This will occupy his thoughts and make him anxious.
Finally, you should note that this advice which we are offering to you is based on sincere concern for you. You should learn a lesson from the experience of other girls who have fallen victim to love relationships and lost their honour as a result. You should give up this young man immediately and repent to Allaah and ask His forgiveness, and praise Him for saving you from committing immoral actions even though the means that lead to them are easily available. You should also praise Him for putting obstacles in the way of this marriage, through your family’s refusal. Start a new life filled with purity and chastity, regret and prayers for forgiveness, keeping away from the things that lead to temptation and immorality. Do a lot of righteous deeds, read a great deal of Qur’aan, and attend many righteous gatherings. With time, your relationship with
 this person will fade, for it is based on emotions that are not based on shar’i guidelines or wise thinking. Beware lest the Shaytaan ensnare you and makes you think that you cannot forget or sever the relationship forever; these are just whispers and tricks, and devilish attempts to keep you in the hell of love and emotion, and distract you from the higher aims of sincere devotion and submission to Allaah and constant striving to please Him. We ask Allaah to give you a way out from your distress and anxiety

Question : 
PLEASE HELP, ITS URGENT! (May Allah make you see this). I need your advice, I became Muslim 4 years ago, I got married 3 years ago (or there abouts). I do not live with my husband as our marriage is secret, his parents do not know about me yet. Anyway the point is, I do not get to see my husband as often as I would like, and as a result I became lonely, and in my stupidity and selfishness and inpatience, I started to speak to NON MAHRAMS over the internet (May Allah forgive me). I spoke you quite a few of them, and told them I was not married, and to some of them I said I was divorced or getting divorced. Also I gave one of them an old picture of me without hijab, My hair, neck and arms were uncovered!!! This was all months ago, and I have repented for my crimes, and I have cried for fear of my grave and the Day of Judgement. I fear Allah so much and have cut off all ties with these people, I no longer speak to any men over the
 internet as I know Shaytaan temps human beings. I am truly ashamed of what I have done, and feel so guilty for it. I love my husband and he is going to tell his family about me soon inshaAllah. But I do not want to hurt him or embarrass him by having to call things off because of what I have done, I do not want to lose him. Do I have to tell him what I have done??? And what about the Photo, I hate what I did, but what if the boy still has it Will I go to hell? And as for me telling people I was divorced or getting divorced, is my marriage still valid??? I know I have ruined my life, but please help me, Allah knows best my intentions, I do not want to hurt anyone or do wrong in the sight of Allah. I want to do what is best for everyone concerned, I want to cover myself, can I do this. Please help me as I'm in so much pain. Answer : 
Praise be to Allaah. 

Firstly:
Praise be to Allaah Who has guided you to Islam. Allaah has chosen you to be one of the followers of this great message, which is one of the greatest means of attaining goodness and happiness in this life and in the Hereafter. You must always remember this great blessing of which many are deprived, and express your gratitude to Allaah both inwardly and outwardly.
Secondly:
Praise be to Allaah Who has blessed you with a Muslim husband, although we wish that it was a marriage in which your husband is not far away from you, and that his family knew about it. The fact that your husband has hidden this marriage from his family and has kept away from you played a major role in what happened to you. You must hasten to set this matter straight, by asking him to make your marriage known and to hasten to tell his family; he should also stay by your side to help you to obey Allaah, may He be exalted. He should fear Allaah with regard to you and not expose you to temptation. He should pay attention to this responsibility which rests on his shoulders.
Thirdly:
Praise be to Allaah Who has enabled you to repent and turn back to Him before you became immersed in sin or did anything worse than that. The Shaytaan makes sin appear attractive to the one who does it, but if you remember the punishment for doing it and the reward that is with Allaah for not doing it, and remember what Allaah has prepared in the Hereafter for those who are obedient, you will realize that what is with Allaah is better and more lasting, and that no matter what pleasure a person may get from sinning, it will end up in distress and hardship in this world and punishment in the Hereafter. So continue to repent and regret what you did, and resolve firmly never to go back to it. Do voluntary acts of worship to make up for what you have missed and to draw closer to Allaah and earn more reward.
Fourthly:
It is essential for you to close the door to the temptations which led you to sin. What we mean by that is those chats. You have to keep away from those sinful chats with men altogether. It is not permissible for you to enter chat rooms or correspond with them or talk to them. If you have their names on “Messenger” then you must hasten to erase their names.
If you fear that logging onto the internet will lead you to chatting with them, then you must keep away from the internet altogether and content yourself with useful audio tapes, reading useful books, and looking for righteous female friends who will guide you to what is good and keep you away from evil.
Another requirement of sincere repentance is that it should be accompanied by regret and resolve not to go back to that sin; you should also keep away from other tempting sites and sites that are haraam or that promote idleness and immorality.
If you devote your time to listening to useful tapes, reading useful books and reading answers and articles on Islamic websites that are known to follow correct beliefs and the correct path, this will be sufficient for you as long as you live. How can you waste your life in things that are of no benefit when you have before you a treasure of

VERIFICATION 






Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan - hafidahullaah - relates:"Allaah - the Majestic, the Most High - orders us to verify any news that reaches us concerning a group or party from amongst the Muslims, when an evil news reaches us which necessitates fighting or opposing this group. Allaah - the Mighty, the Most High - orders us not be hasty and rush into this affair, until we have verified the matter. Allaah - the Most Perfect - said:

"O you who believe! When a wicked person comes to you with some news, ascertain and verify it, less you harm someone in ignorance and then afterwards regret for what you have done." [Soorah al-Hujuraat 49:6]
Meaning: If some news reaches you about a group or party from amongst the people, concerning an action that they have done and which deserves to be fought against, then do not be hasty about the matter, nor announce war against them, nor attack them - until you have verified the authenticity of the report."1
Imaam Muslim relates in his Saheeh (no.5):Abu Hurayrah radiallaahu 'anhu relates that the Prophet sallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: "It is enough to render a man a liar that he relates everything he hears."
Shaykh 'Alee Hasan al-Halabee said:"The daa'ee (caller) must be careful in everything, particularly with regards to what he hears from people, or what he reads in books. So it is an obligation upon him to check and verify everything which reaches his ears or eyes, before spreading it and circulating it amongst the people. His carefulness will be increased with regards two cases: Firstly, when what is being conveyed to him is connected to the Deen and the Sharee'ah, such as something being quoted as a hadeeth, or a fiqh ruling, and its like. Secondly, If someone reports something bad about a person, or an evil word from someone. He must check it correctness, carefully find out the reality and what is correct, and not hasten to transmit it and add it to the stream of news!"2

Fifteen terrible Consequences in the life and the Hereafter for those who neglect prayer
The Messenger of Allah (saw) says that a person who neglects prayer and is lazy in its fulfillment is punished with fifteen calamities by Allah. Of these, six are related to his life, three are with regard to the time of death, and three occur in the grave and three calamities strike him in Qayamat. That is when he will emerge from his grave (for the final accounting).
The six calamities with regard to his life are:

The Almighty Allah reduces his life span
And He terminates his sustenance.
He makes the signs of righteousness to disappear from his face.
None of his good deeds will be accepted and he will not be rewarded for them.
His invocations will not be accepted.
The supplications of righteous people will not benefit him.
The three calamities to befall him at the time of death are:

He will die a death of degradation and disgrace.
He will die in hunger.
He will die in a state of such a terrible thirst that even if he were to drink all the streams of the earth his thirst will not be quenched.
And the three punishments that he will suffer in the grave are:

An angel will be appointed over him to give him squeeze and chastise him.
His grave will be made narrow.
His grave will be dark and horrifying.
And the three calamities with regard to Qiyamat are as follows:

The angel will be dragging him for accounting in such a way that other people will be a witness to it.
His accounting will be very strict.
The Almighty Allah will not look at him with mercy, will not purify him and there is terrible punishment for him.

THE QUESTION OF HIJAB: SUPPRESSION OR LIBERATION"Why do Muslim women have to cover their heads?" This question is one which is asked by Muslim and non-Muslim alike. For many women it is the truest test of being a Muslim. 
The answer to the question is very simple - Muslim women observe HIJAB (covering the head and the body) because Allah (in English: "The God")has told them to do so. 
"O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their outer garments around them when they go out or are among men. That is better in order that they may be known (to be believers) and not annoyed..." (Qur'an 33:59) 
"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands..." (Qur'an 24:30-31) 
Other secondary reasons include the requirement for modesty in both men and women. Both will then be evaluated for intelligence and skills instead of looks and sexuality. An Iranian school girl is quoted as saying, "We want to stop men from treating us like sex objects, as they have always done. We want them to ignore our appearance and to be attentive to our personalities and mind. We want them to take us seriously and treat us as equals and not just chase us around for our bodies and physical looks." 
A Muslim woman who covers her head is making a statement about her identity. Anyone who sees her will know that she is a Muslim and has a good moral character. Many Muslim women who cover are filled with dignity and self esteem; they are pleased to be identified as a Muslim woman. As a chaste, modest, pure woman, she does not want her sexuality to enter into interactions with men in the smallest degree. A woman who covers herself is concealing her sexuality but allowing her femininity to be brought out. 
The question of hijab for Muslim women has been a controversy for centuries and will probably continue for many more. Some learned people do not consider the subject open to discussion and consider that covering the face is required, as a woman's face also shows much of her beauty that should only be shown to her husband or direct family members, while a majority are of the opinion that it is not required. A middle line position is taken by some who claim that the instructions are vague and open to individual discretion depending on the situation. The wives of the Prophet (S) were required to cover their faces so that men would not think of them in sexual terms since they were the "Mothers of the Believers," but this requirement was not extended to other women. 
The word "hijab" comes from the Arabic word "hajaba" meaning to hide from view or conceal. In the present time, the context of hijab is the modest covering of a Muslim woman. The question now is what is the extent of the covering? 
The Qur'an says: "Say to the believing man 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. 
"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands..." (Qur'an 24:30-31) 
These verses from the Qur'an contain two main injunctions: (1) A woman should not show her beauty or adornments except what appears by uncontrolled factors such as the wind blowing her clothes, and (2) the head covers should be drawn so as to cover the hair, the neck and the bosom. 
Islam has no fixed standard as to the style of dress or type of clothing that Muslims must wear. However, some requirements must be met. The first of these requirements is the parts of the body which must be
