SHURA – MASHURA – MASHWARA & DEMOCRACY IN ISLAM – IS THE SHURA NECESSARY IN THE SHARI’AH

September 7, 2010

Many traditional Sunni Scolars agree that to be in keeping with Islam, a government should have some form of council of consultation or majlis al-shura. While the classical Sholars and some Contemporary Scholars with authority claim that although shura must be recognized; Allaah & His Laws and never the people are sovereign. Thus Shura can never resemble a people rule governance. … More SHURA – MASHURA – MASHWARA & DEMOCRACY IN ISLAM – IS THE SHURA NECESSARY IN THE SHARI’AH

ASKING FOR PARDON FROM ALLAH – IBN TAYMIYYAH ON MAGHFIRA AND ISTIGHFAR

September 19, 2009

The servant is always in the blessings of Allah, which necessitate thankfulness, and in sinfulness, which requires seeking forgiveness. Both of these matters are required and essential for the servant at all times, as the servant does not cease to alternate between Allah’s (various) favours and blessings, and does not cease to be in need of repentance and seeking forgiveness.

This is why the Master of the Children of Adam, and the Leader of the Pious, Muhammad, (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) sought forgiveness in all circumstances. He said in an authentic Hadith reported by al-Bukhari:

“O people repent to your Lord, for verily I seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to him more than seventy times in a day.” (Bukhari) … More ASKING FOR PARDON FROM ALLAH – IBN TAYMIYYAH ON MAGHFIRA AND ISTIGHFAR

CONDENSED FIQH OF TAHARA – HOW TO DO WUDHU – ABLUTION – BATHING – MENSTRUATION – PURIFICATION IN ISLAM EXPLAINED

May 13, 2009

The principle ruling concerning any kind of matter is that of permissibility and purity (That is, they are to be considered permissible and pure unless proven otherwise). If someone, therefore, claims that an object is impure, then the burden of proof is upon him to bring forth some evidence for the impurity of that object.

If he does, his conclusion will be followed. If he is not able to bring forth such proof or if he does not present an acceptable proof, then our judgment will be according to the original principle and it being free of any impurity. Since declaring something to be impure is an obligation that concerns all people, it is not permissible to make such a declaration unless a proof has been established for it. … More CONDENSED FIQH OF TAHARA – HOW TO DO WUDHU – ABLUTION – BATHING – MENSTRUATION – PURIFICATION IN ISLAM EXPLAINED

As long as the son of Adam does not completely submit to Allah and until he starts to follow the Sunnah, he will always be astray.
