TREATY OF HUDAYBIYYAH – BAYATUL RIDWAN – THE MESSENGER MAKES A DEAL WITH THE MUSHIRKS OF MAKKAH – CHRONOLOGICAL SERIES OF EVENTS

July 17, 2013

One of the most momentous incidents in the seerah is the treaty of Hudaybiyyah. So much Fiqh is derived from the treaty as well as from the Bayatul Ridwan (The pledge of allegiance to fight the Quraysh if they attacked the Muslims), which also took place at the same time.

This article is a rough draft of the chapter on the treaty from my upcoming Seerah Work… Please make dua that Allah allows me to finish it and so that others may benefit from it, I am trying to keep it easy reading with facts thrown in. In sha Allah, I will also touch on Fiqh and Aqeedah points as we come across them.

What I am trying to do is piece together a chronological series of events that will in sha Allah give the reader a good understanding of the series of events that happened right before Hudaybiyyah and right after it also. … More TREATY OF HUDAYBIYYAH – BAYATUL RIDWAN – THE MESSENGER MAKES A DEAL WITH THE MUSHIRKS OF MAKKAH – CHRONOLOGICAL SERIES OF EVENTS

This was the legacy that Ibn Taymiyyah received. Through him, we’ve been able to get amazing knowledge of our Deen to this day.

The Islamic world got three of the most prominent and great scholars from the students of Ibn Taymiyyah. They were  Ibn Kathir, Ibn Qayyim Jauzi and  Dhahabi.

May 23, 2013

An-Nawawi may Allah have mercy on him said: It is mustahabb to pray two rak‘ahs or more before ‘Isha’, because of the hadeeth of ‘Abdullah ibn Maghfal,

“Allaah will build a house in Heaven for whoever is diligent in observing 12 Sunnah Rak’aat (as follows): 4 Rak’aat before and 2 after the Dhuhr (Midday) Prayer, 2 after the Maghrib (Sunset Prayer), 2 after the ‘Ishaa’ (Evening) Prayer and 2 before the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer.” Hadith sahih … More PROOF FOR FOUR 4 RAKAAT BEFORE ‘ISHA – I PRAY FOUR RAKA’AT SUNNAH BEFORE ‘ISHA – SUNNAH OR NOT?

January 1, 2013

One of the most important qualifications and merits that the sahaba of rasulAllah (peace be upon him) had, was first and foremost the name sahaba.

Sahaba means, they met and believed in the Messenger while he was alive peace be upon him. Another merit of the Sahaba was that they participated in blessed ghazawat, many passed away as shuhada and their status is known.

However there were a special ten sahaba, who were promised Jannah while they were alive as testified by rasulAllah peace be upon him. … More 10 PROMISED JANNAH – ASHARA MUBASHARA – WHICH SAHABA ARE PROMISED PARADISE – IS THE “TEN PROMISED JANNAH” HADITH SAHIH?

CONDENSED SHARI RULINGS FOR MUSLIM WOMEN IN THE WEST AND BEYOND – FIQH OF FAMILY – GUESTS – SWIMMING POOLS – MODESTY – MASAJID

November 11, 2012

Being a woman in this day and age is difficult, and being a Muslim Woman carries even more weight. The Muslim woman just like the Muslim man is expected to act in accordance to the Qur’an and Sunnah.

However, saying that, for those that live in the west the line becomes blurry, we get outdated fatawa from scholars who have never visited a cinema or seen a place like Movie World, and with all due respect we take fatawa on thousands of issues from the Ulama, but when it comes to specific fiqh of that which is cutomary to people in the west and that which in common only in the west, we need to look for people who understand that way of life.

I hope to cover a large portion of hat I deem appropriate and relevant to every Muslimah in the west, in sha Allah. … More CONDENSED SHARI RULINGS FOR MUSLIM WOMEN IN THE WEST AND BEYOND – FIQH OF FAMILY – GUESTS – SWIMMING POOLS – MODESTY – MASAJID

ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA – HOW DO I DEAL WITH SO MUCH ANTI MUSLIM SENTIMENT – I CAN’T COPE WITH THE PRESSURE OF BEING A MUSLIM – MOVEMENTS AGAINST ISLAM – ISLAMOPHOBIA

August 6, 2012

One of the most common things that Muslims are faced with daily, IS ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA. And unlike the Jews who label anything resembling critique of Israel or the Jewish fate as ANTI SEMMITISM, the poor old Muslims just take it on the chin and plot along.

Allah Subhanaahu Wa Ta’ala has informed us that there will always be people who intend to misrepresent Islam and make it appear evil. Our modern term for this is “Islamophobia,” which means spreading fear and hatred of Islam. Most people who are against Islam have simply been given misinformation and we should help to provide them with an accurate view of Islam, while others deliberately slander the religion even after they know the truth. … More ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA – HOW DO I DEAL WITH SO MUCH ANTI MUSLIM SENTIMENT – I CAN’T COPE WITH THE PRESSURE OF BEING A MUSLIM – MOVEMENTS AGAINST ISLAM – ISLAMOPHOBIA

JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED – OR NOT – WHAT DO THE SCHOLARS OF HISTORY SAY? – WHAT DOES ALLAH SAY?

August 1, 2012

The Muslim Love for Jesus is as big as our love for our own Mothers, to somehow conflate some imaginary hate for christians as hate against Jesus is craziness.

Allah Ta’ala has a whole chapter in the Qur’an named after Mary The Mother of Jesus, Isa (Jesus Name in the Qur’an) is so beloved to us that we memorize verses that speak about his virtues and his birth, life and return to HIS LORD, ALLAH.

The most often debated topic between Christiand and Muslims is the Crucifiction (or CRUCIFIXION), of Jesus peace be upon him.

SO WHAT DO THE SCHOLARS SAY? OBJECTIVITY ON THE CRUCIFICTION … More JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED – OR NOT – WHAT DO THE SCHOLARS OF HISTORY SAY? – WHAT DOES ALLAH SAY?
