Muslim brothers and sisters?
Taqlid which is said by you to be blind faith in the scholars of Islam without asking questions. Giving judgement is not permissible for someone who has not been endowed by Allah with the qualities of inner purity, sincerity in both his hidden and visible actions, and a proof from his Lord in every state. This is because whoever has judged has decreed, and decree is only valid by the permission of Allah and by His proof. Whoever is liberal in his judgement, without having made a proper examination, is ignorant and will be taken to task for his ignorance and will be burdened with his judgement as the tradition indicates. Knowledge is a light, which Allah casts into the heart of whomsoever He wills. The Holy Prophet said, 'Whoever is boldest among you in judging is also the most insolent to Allah'. Does not the judge know that he is the one who has come between Allah and His bondsmen, and that he is wavering between the Garden and the Fire? Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah said, 'How can anyone else benefit from my knowledge if I have denied myself its benefit?' It is inappropriate for anyone to judge on what is permissible (halal) and what is forbidden (haram) among creation, except for one who causes the people of his time, his village, and his city to follow the truth through obedience to the Holy Prophet and who recognizes what is applicable of his judgement. The Holy Prophet said, 'It is because giving judgement is such a tremendous affair, in which there is no place for "hopefully", "perhaps" or "may be". The Commander of the Faithful said to a judge, 'Do you know the difference between those verses of the Qur'an which abrogate and those which are abrogated?' 'No'. 'Do you have a command of the intentions of Allah in the parables of the Qur'an?' 'No'. 'Then you have perished and caused others to perish,' the Commander of the Faithful replied. A judge needs to know the various meanings of the Qur'an, the truth of the Prophetic way, the inward indications, courtesies, consensus and disagreements, and to be familiar with the bases of what they agree upon and disagree about. Then he must have acute discrimination, sound action, wisdom, and precaution. If he has these things, then let him judge
Muslim brothers and sisters, how do you feel with all this fitnah in the air?
I've never read such things here, though. But it sad that Islam is divided into so many sects... Common people, like us, don't usually fight with each other becaue of sects. But we sometimes spot a mullah who is saying bad words against another sect to spread prejuidice and hatred. No one can decide that the other is kafir or Muslim... it is up to Allah to decide it. Actually the so-called molveez (sorry if you don't agree) have limited Islam to rituals. Islam is not ritualism... it's a way of living. King Akbar The Great is notorious (sort of) because he created another religion, "Deen-e-Ilahi". But if we study the history, we'll see that the creation of this bedaa was because of the condition of most of the ulmaas of that time. They had busied themselves in giving fatwaas against each other. I'm not suggesting that all the Ulmaas are bad, there are some very good... but the majority is disappointing. Reason is that they are only concentrating on the ritual side of Islam. I mean they can teach you how to stand in Salah (prayer), how to do sajdah etc. but they won't teach you that you shouldn't think of anything else in salah but Allah. To them, ritual is everything. That is why Muslim reciting Quran everyday, but aren't understanding it. Islam is beautiful Tafarqa is ugliness (I can't help thinking it). And Materialistic approach is the root of every misery!
Survey: Muslims brothers&sisters do you care??
i am a convert to islam, all american. i chose islam because it was what i felt was thr truth and as you said noone forced me, i did it for me noone else. we all know in the quran talks about those who go back to their former religions. if they go back and stay back then they know their punishment. if they come back to islam after going back to their former religions tey may i repeat may be foregiven if they are sincere and stay ,muslims. but only God knows. and all the converts to christianity know the truth they are just rebelling. because i was christian all my life and i can say even my preacher had never read the whole bible, most i know never did either. and pretty much all ignore the old testament saying it doesnt matter since jesus came the rules in it,. such as eating pork and things like that. they dont relize christianity forbids them to do alot more stuff than islam does, but they look at the christians who are around them not the bible. they see women dressed as they like, dating who they like drinking as they like and dont stop to think in christianity this is forbidden, but because it looks good hey ill change religions. they dont see what God wrote about the jews and christians of all people God knows best right? god says in the quran the preachers and learned among them will cry when they read the quran because they have relized the truth, and so many preachers have converted take yousef estes as an example,. www.islamtomorrow.com and all the americans from the deen show who grew up christian and found islam later in life. www.thedeenshow.com
How do you think our muslim brothers and sisters would react if...?
I would be forced to move out of the country. That would hurt as I would never be able to even return for a visit and see my family, unlike what people think not all Muslims are immigrants. Allah says has He not made this world spacious and not to stay in a place that oppresses us. I know it is not easy and up and move like that, but if it was to happen and there was no way to reverse the ban, Muslims would move in hoards and inshaAllah other countries would welcome them. I pray it doesn't happen as we don't have the means to move, and I would be forced to stay in doors till we could. 97. Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): "In what (condition) were you?" They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on earth." They (angels) say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil destination! 98. Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way. 99. For these there is hope that Allah will forgive them, and Allah is Ever Oft Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving. 100. He who emigrates (from his home) in the Cause of Allah, will find on earth many dwelling places and plenty to live by. And whosoever leaves his home as an emigrant unto Allah and His Messenger, and death overtakes him, his reward is then surely incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 4:97-100 And Allah knows best
A question.... for my Muslim brothers and sisters???
This is what I found: Plastic surgery that is considered necessary is that which is done when there is a need for it, when something does not look right, when something is missing, if there is too much or too little of something, or because something has been destroyed or deformed. At the same time, it is regarded as “cosmetic” surgery because it results in improved appearance. Faults may be of two types: physical or congenital faults and faults which result from illness. Congenital faults include abnormally turned-out lips, hare-lips, twisted fingers or toes, etc. Faults which result from illness include the scars left by leprosy or other skin diseases, or scars caused by accidents and burns. There is no doubt that such faults and scars cause physical and psychological pain and harm, therefore Islam allows people afflicted with them to remove or reduce them by surgical means. They cause the kind of mental and psychological pain that allows this surgery as an urgent need, where necessity permits something that is ordinarily forbidden. Any cosmetic surgery which comes under this heading of need because of the fact that the reason for the surgery is causing harm is permissible, and is not considered to be changing the creation of Allaah. BUT There are cosmetic surgical procedures which are haraam and are not considered to be excusable; these are seen as tampering with the creation of Allaah for the sake of beauty. Examples include: breast enlargement or reduction, and procedures aimed at reversing the signs of ageing, such as face-lifts etc. The Islamic view is that these are not permitted, because there is no urgent need or necessity for them; rather, the aim is to change and tamper with the creation of Allaah for reasons of human vanity. This is haraam and the one who does it is cursed because it involves two things mentioned in the hadeeth: pursuit of beauty and changing what Allaah has created. _____________________________ The link below has all of the daleel.

What should a Muslim brother do, if his sister ran away with a Mexican guy?
Assalaamu Alaykum Sisters and Brothers, There is a great saying, you can solve the worlds issue in your house, but you can not solve your personal issues outside. My name is Jamal and I am proudly Muslim, born and raised in Pakistan. It has been about 10 years that I and my family are living in the United States. We are good Muslim, we fast, pray, and do not do the dating thing. My sister has run away from our house before Ramadan, and it has been over a month now. Before she called few times saying that she was a burden on family because she failed her RN program, so she needs sometime alone to focus on her studies, but now I have found out that she left the state and moved to Texas with a Mexican guy. I am a brother and have the Muslim courage and it is impossible to accept her back. What should I do?? She wants to come back home this week. She has been out of the house with a Mexican guy for over a month; I know that she has done the “ZINNA”. My dear brother and sister, please guide me, some times I feel like I should just kill her, but I am a responsible guy and my family needs me. What is the best solution for us? Should we just let her marry to a Mexican guy? Advise please... Thank you for reading, May Allah never does this to any Muslim families all around the world.
Sisters and brothers: Do you think this is a good topic to do research on?
What you falsely think is vain and profane babbling is actually erudite reasoning. Timothy doesn't in that verse describe Jesus at all. Jesus was the perfect example of the person who is harmless as a dove, yet wise as a serpent. If you don't have the patience to meet the other person where he or she is at and work with them where they are at (and it sure sound to me like you do not in fact have that kind of patience) then the very least you can do as a humble servant of the living God is to keep quiet and let others do the work they have been given to do without you being out there causing yet more difficulties. I might add that if you can't minister with patience, you will not see much lasting success, and you will continue to become more and more bitter. You were deleted because you did something wrong. Face that fact and strive to learn from it, and move on. Or not; it's your choice. But do not call yourself Christlike; stop it with the readings from Timothy, and get back into the Gospels. Look at the Man, Jesus. Take that behavior for your model. Forget this self-righteous twaddle that those minor books spout. Keep you eyes fixed on Jesus and Him only.
Ramadan: brothers and sisters, what do you guys think about 2012?
Guidance is from Allah, whomever Allah guides none can misguide and whomever He allows to go astray none can guide Him. The path to becomeing a better muslim is through gaining knowledge, "It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah." [35:28] But the path to knowledge is overwhelmed by obstacles. It can become about fame and becoming noticed.A hadeeth mentions the first three people being thrown into hellfire—the scholar (who taught for fame), the martyr (who fought for fame), and the person who gave his money in charity (so people would say he is generous). All three of these people desired the pleasure of people over the pleasure of Allah. The person who desires the praise of people must feel some pride in himself, for he feels himself worthy of being praised. There is a danger, therefore, of him becoming arrogant and boastful. The stages in acquiring knowledge as i have learned are three. First is enthusiasm and excitement, second is arrogance and pride when you seem to have more than the average muslim. And third is utter humilty like the scholars who realize all of what they have is from Allah and that they really know nothing. Be a student of Knowledge all of your life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFzTPHR3U... As for 2012, "They ask you concerning the Hour, say: "The knowledge of it is with Allâh only. What do you know? It may be that the Hour is near!" 33:63 I hope Allah does it before or after to humiliate those who acted according to conjecture and abandoned the Truth from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala Feel free to email me
Brothers and sisters?
NO it is sooooo humorous! My mothers grandma lived down the line from my dad whilst they have been little so all the brothers and sisters knew one yet another growing to be up. So whilst the grew up my mom and pa have been given married and had me :) yet someplace down the line my dads brother (would he relax in peace) and my mom's sister began courting. My father and mom divorced regrettably yet after courting for 7yrs my aunt and uncle have been given married. (they might are growing to be married regardless of if my father and mom stayed at the same time). Now im appropriate to my youngest cousin in 2 procedures and persons say we glance alike and reminds them of a youthful me lol. yet its no longer extraordinary it easily happens greater cases than you think of.... I observed something on television a whilst in the past approximately twins marrying twins. i ask your self whether their childrens look the comparable?
