MEN AND WOMEN CHATTING ONLINE – CAN I SPEAK TO A FEMALE ONLINE – IS MY TALKING WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX HALAL – SHAKING HANDS AND MORE

August 6, 2014

This leads to a great issue, where men and women start to mingle and mix through these virtual platforms of sin. What we need to remember and know is that, we are who we truly are, when nobody is looking at us.

What we forget is that Allah is the All Seeing and All Hearing…. just because we are confined to our homes behind computer screens does not mean we are free to socialize and have relationships which outside of the internet would be considered haram.

What is even worst is that so called people of knowledge have been caught up in this tool of the shaytaan, caught chatting up women and vulnerabe sisters who are mesmerised by the scholars works. … More MEN AND WOMEN CHATTING ONLINE – CAN I SPEAK TO A FEMALE ONLINE – IS MY TALKING WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX HALAL – SHAKING HANDS AND MORE

WHY THE DIFFERENT OPINIONS IN THE 4 MADHABS – THE DIFFERING OPINIONS AMONGST THE MADHAHIB – WHICH MADHHAB IS MOST CORRECT

April 15, 2014

In sha Allah the reader has so far understood the reasoning behind the differences in fiqh, first of all the majority of the issues are minor ones, and secondly for any opinion that we may deem wrong can now understood as an pinion that was developed for their respected scholls based on the evidences and using the methodology that their school follows. In sha Allah we can reconcile that the differing opinions have excuses for them, and many of them are a mercy for us all.

MEANING THAT EVERY STUDENT OF KNOWLEDGE THAT FOLLOWS AN OPINION FROM ANY MADHHABM THAT IS BACKED BY THE QURAN AND SUNNAH, IS NOT ERRING UNLESS ANOTHER OPINION IS SHOWN TO THEM WITH GREATER EVIDENCE BACKING IT.

IN WHICH CASE JUST AS THE FOR IMAMS DID, WHEN A MORE UTHENTIC HADITH REACHED THEM THEY WOULD RECANT THEIR OLD STANCE AND ADOPT A NEW ONE.

THIS IS ISLAM, SUBMISSION TO CLER TEXTS FROM THE QURAN AND SUNNAH.

We ask Allah for guidance and knowledge that will help us distinguish the haqq from the baatil so that we may follow it. May Allah guide us to what pleases Him best, Aza Wa Jal. … More WHY THE DIFFERENT OPINIONS IN THE 4 MADHABS – THE DIFFERING OPINIONS AMONGST THE MADHAHIB – WHICH MADHHAB IS MOST CORRECT

DO WE NEED TO FOLLOW A MADHHAB – WHICH SCHOLAR – IS IT TAQLEED IF EVERYONE IS DOING IT?

February 9, 2014

I proudly punded my chest for many years claiming I was a salafi, in Aqeedah, In Fiqh, In the understanding of Tawheed…. in everything you can imagine nd mention. Then I started studying Islam, and many times found my self perplexed by many of the opinions I held, realizing that those very opinions were based upon the ijtihad of a scholar.

No matter how much I tried to shake taqleed away and remain upon Al-Itiba’a, I found my self in uncharted territory. This write up below will, in sha Allah, further the foundations put in place by the madhahib and their respected jurrists, over the centuries. Sometimes, we need to learn more to understand how much we actually are ignorant off.

No matter what level a student’s intelligence and determination reaches, he cannot be a Mujtahid in every legal issue, comprehending the study of their evidences from the standpoint of Prophetic tradition, linguistics, legal principles and jurisprudence. So it is inevitable that he will need to follow a scholar [Taqlīd] in a majority of legal issues. Adhering to a school will keep him occupied and is preferable for him in the face of evidence of equal weight and the absence of one view being prominent over another- so he follows his ‘Imām.

Since all the contemporaries who attack adherence to a juristic school and following [an ‘Imām] end up following ‘Ibn Bāz, ‘Ibn Uthaymīn, al-‘Albānī or others like them, may Allah have mercy on them, they run away from following one of the four A’immah and follow someone less than them [in knowledge]. … More DO WE NEED TO FOLLOW A MADHHAB – WHICH SCHOLAR – IS IT TAQLEED IF EVERYONE IS DOING IT?

NULLIFIERS OF ISLAM – AQEEDAH – TAWHEED AND TAKFIR REVISITED – CONDENSED – LECTURE OF BANU TAMEEM – WHAT THE DESCENDANTS OF MIAW SAY

November 25, 2013

There is a huge difference between saying such and such action is Kufr which takes one out of the fold of Islam, and saying such and such person is a kafir. Please have this in mind as you read the following article.

Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief… except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith. But those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from Allah , and for them is a great punishment (An Nahl: 106) … More NULLIFIERS OF ISLAM – AQEEDAH – TAWHEED AND TAKFIR REVISITED – CONDENSED – LECTURE OF BANU TAMEEM – WHAT THE DESCENDANTS OF MIAW SAY

FIQH OF POLYGAMY IN ISLAM – RIGHTS OF HUSBAND AND WIFE – FIQH OF MARRIAGE AND RELATIONS

September 10, 2013

The first thing that every married Muslim must realize is that one’s spouse is first and foremost another Muslim. He/she is one’s brother and sister in Islam. Therefore, at minimum all rights that fall upon a Muslim due to the general brotherhood of Islam are also due to one’s spouse. It is a sad situation for a Muslim brother or sister to respect their Muslim brothers and sisters outside of the house but for the situation in the house to degenerate into less even than that minimum standard of respect and kindness inside the household. Therefore the first step is for every Muslim to open some of the books about respect, manners (adab) and courtesy towards other Muslims and to realize that all of those principles apply to their partner in their house. The Prophet ﷺ stressed this when he said: … More FIQH OF POLYGAMY IN ISLAM – RIGHTS OF HUSBAND AND WIFE – FIQH OF MARRIAGE AND RELATIONS
