THE FIQH OF CAPTIVES AND NON COMBATANTS IN ISLAM – THE ORDERED PROTECTION OF CIVILIANS – SO WHY ARE CIVILIANS GETTING KILLED?

October 26, 2015

We live in a world where non Muslims and the western media are judging almost 15 centuries of Islam, Allah and His Messenger, by a few incidents done by the most extreme of the most extreme, we are literally talking about less that 0.1% of a population that numbers almost 2 billion people.

Of course the media and the main anti-Muslim protagonists will not speak about the magnificent contributions Islam had to modern day technology, towards law, linguistics, mathematics, architecture, geo-politics, war conditions, rules and treatises. There is not a word about how Muslims came all the way up to spain to protect a Jewish population that was being wiped out and discriminated against by the ruling monarchy. Yes, you read that correctly, Muslims went to Spain to save the Jews living there, from persecution and terrorism, 1000 years before Hitler and the Gestapo of the Nazi State.

All we hear about is a handful of people who broke a pact, but the question is, what does Islam say about the Civilian population in times of war. It is clear that the “peace protecting” West, considers Muslim civilians as collateral damage, when a smart bomb hits a civilian village, maiming and killing dozens of people, hundreds of times over and over again, we realise that people really are expendable to the defender of the world.

However, in Islam, they are not expendable….. … More THE FIQH OF CAPTIVES AND NON COMBATANTS IN ISLAM – THE ORDERED PROTECTION OF CIVILIANS – SO WHY ARE CIVILIANS GETTING KILLED?

CAN I PAY MY ZAKAAT TO NON MUSLIMS? – NON MUSLIMS & ZAKAAT!! – SHOULD CHARITY BE GIVEN TO NON MUSLIMS – CAN I PAY SOMEONE TO BECOME A MUSLIM

July 7, 2015

 “Allaah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allaah loves those who deal with equity. It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allaah forbids you to befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the zaalimoon (wrong-doers – those who disobey Allaah.)”

DEAF BLIND AND DUMB – THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND – THE CALL TO TRUE TAWHEED – THE NAJDI AQEEDAH? – KHUTBAH

February 21, 2014

In this day and age when every person claims for themselves to be upon the truth, the call of the actual righteous ones has fallen on deaf ears. Not only has the true call to tawheed been drowned out by the cowardly speech of the Murjiah of this Ummah, but the so called speakers upon the correct manhaj themselves have gone in to hiding, or they have turned over a new leaf to please the ones in control of them. They start fearing a punishment from men more than the punishment from Allah, for knowing the truth, but not speaking up about it.

In these noble verses Allah Almighty commands us to obey and respond to orders and forbid resembling the Disbelievers and Hypocrites who do not respond to Allah and His Messenger, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. … More DEAF BLIND AND DUMB – THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND – THE CALL TO TRUE TAWHEED – THE NAJDI AQEEDAH? – KHUTBAH

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?

10 REASONS FOR GAINING THE LOVE OF ALLAH – HOW DO I GAIN THE LOVE OF MY CREATOR

March 13, 2013

Giving preference to what He likes over what you like, at the times in which the whims overcome you, and seeking what He likes even if it is difficult. Ibn Al-Qayim (may Allah mercy him) says: “Giving preference to the satisfaction of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, over the satisfaction of anyone else means to want and to do whatever brings His satisfaction even if it dissatisfied the creatures. This is the rank of Ithar, and its superior status is for the messengers of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon them), and the superior of this status is for the Messengers of strong will, and the superior among those is our Prophet, Muhammad (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him). And all of that could not be attained without three things:

1- Defeating the whims of the self.
2- Doing the contrary to the whims of the self.
3- Fighting Satan and his supporters. … More 10 REASONS FOR GAINING THE LOVE OF ALLAH – HOW DO I GAIN THE LOVE OF MY CREATOR

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?

4 IMAMS PROHIBITING BLIND FOLLOWING – ABU HANIFA, IMAM MALIK, IMAM SHAFI’E AND IMAM AHMAD SAID – DO NOT FOLLOW US BLINDLY

May 1, 2011

The topic of blind following (Taqleed) can not be written or spoken about enough, the Muslim world is in such a state these days, that a person who follows the sunnah is considered to be an outsider, anything that does not conform to the religion of someones dead grandfather (who went to hajj) is considered an attack on Islam.

How wonderful would it be if Imam Abu Hanifa, the imam whose Madhhab the Bosnian community claims to follow, could come back so that they could view him. The way he looked, the way he spoke, I am sure that the majority of the population would proclaim him a Wahhabi. Now imagine the sahaba… Alaahul Musta’an. … More 4 IMAMS PROHIBITING BLIND FOLLOWING – ABU HANIFA, IMAM MALIK, IMAM SHAFI’E AND IMAM AHMAD SAID – DO NOT FOLLOW US BLINDLY

What Do The Orientalists Say About The Inimitability Of The Qur’an?

E H Palmer, as early as 1880, recognized the unique style of the Qur’an. But he seem to have been wavering between two thoughts. He writes in the Introduction to his translation of the Qur’an: … More CAN THE QUR’AN BE IMITATED – THE CHALLENGE THAT WILL NEVER BE MATCHED – THE GREATEST MIRACLE WE ALL HAVE
