Lukgaf:
Is it permissible to look at another person's private part even if of similar sex?

Abu Sa'id al Khudri Radiyallahu anhu reported that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, “A man should not see the private parts of another man, and a woman should not see the private parts of another woman, and a man should not lie with another man under one covering, and a woman should not lie with another woman under one covering.” [Sahih Muslim].

"Exposing the intimate parts of the body is unlawful in Islam as the Quran instructs the covering of male and female genitals, and for adult females the breasts. Exposing them is normally considered sinful. Exposing intimate parts when needed, such as going to the toilet or bathing, falls under a specific set of rules." Intimate parts in Islam.

Based on what is contained on IslamQA about the topic, the ‘awrah of a woman in front of her mahrams is her entire body except that which usually appears such as the face and hair, neck, forearms and feet. The ‘awrah of a woman with another woman is the area between the navel and the knee. The ‘awrah of a man is the area between the navel and the knee; as for the navel and the knee themselves, they are not part of the ‘awrah. Some scholars are of the opinion that knee is awrah also and must be covered.

According to Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is not permissible for a young man to play football, for example, wearing only shorts that do not reach the knees or that do not reach the navel. It is essential that the area between the navel and the knee be covered in the case of young men.

Many of us still fall in this prohibition. We often think there is no problem if we look at our friend's awrah since we are of the same sex. But that is not permissible! Since we know we are prohibited from doing so, please let's refrain from doing it.

This is Sheikh Murtala Chukwuemeka, the first Igbo man in the world that translated the Holy Qur'an into Igbo language. He has indeed done something that would be remembered until the end of times.

He was a pastor before he converted to Islam in 1989. He has converted over 300 people through his preachings.

May Allah reward him abundantly for this great milestone.

Rashduct4luv:


Praise be to Allah.

Firstly:
The virtues of Takbir in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah

The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are venerated days. Allah swore by them in His Book, and swearing by a thing is indicative of its importance and great benefit. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“By the dawn; By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah)” [Al-Fajr 89:1]

Ibn ‘Abbas, Ibn al-Zubayr, Mujahid and others among the earlier and later generations said: This refers to the ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah. Ibn Kathir said: This is the correct view. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 8/413)

Good deeds during these days are beloved to Allah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, not even jihad for the sake of Allah?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight, giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing.” Narrated by al-Bukhari, 969; al-Tirmidhi, 757. This version was narrated by al-Tirmidhi and classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih al-Tirmidhi, 605.

One of the righteous deeds during these days is to remember Allah by reciting takbir (saying “Allahu akbar”) and tahlil (saying “La ilaha ill-Allah”), because of the following evidence.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“That they may witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e. reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade), and mention the Name of Allah on appointed days” [Al-Hajj 22:28]

The “appointed days” are the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And remember Allah during the appointed Days” [Al-Baqarah 2:203]

These are the days of al-Tashriq, i.e. the 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The days of tashriq are the days of eating, drinking and remembering Allah.” (Narrated by Muslim, 1141)
Secondly:

Formulas of Takbir in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah

The scholars have different views on the formulas of Takbir.

1- The first view is that it is:
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha ill-Allah, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahi’l-hamd (Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, there is no god but Allah, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, and to Allah be praise).

2- The second view is that it is:
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha ill-Allah, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahi’l-hamd (Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, there is no god but Allah, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, and to Allah be praise).

3- The third view is that it is:
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha ill-Allah, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahi’l-hamd (Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, there is no god but Allah, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, and to Allah be praise).

The matter is broad in scope because there is no text narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)which specifies a particular form of Takbir.

Thirdly:
The time of Takbir in Dhul-Hijjah

The takbir is divided into two categories:

1 – Unrestricted Takbir. This is the takbir that is not limited to a specific time, and it is Sunnah to say it all the time, morning and evening, before prayer and after prayer, at all times.

2 – Restricted Takbir. This is the takbir that is limited to the time immediately after prayer.

It is Sunnah to recite unrestricted takbir at any time during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah and all the days of Tashriq, starting from the beginning of the month of Dhul-Hijjah (i.e., from sunset on the last day of Dhul-Qi’dah {i.e. from sunset on Wednesday 28th June 2022) until the end of the days of Al-Tashriq, which is when the sun sets on the thirteenth day of Dhul-Hijjah (i.e.Tuesday 12 July 2022).

With regard to restricted takbir, it starts from Fajr on the day of ‘Arafah (i.e. July 8 2022) and lasts until the sun sets on the last day of the days of Tashriq (i.e.Tuesday 12 July 2022), in addition to the takbir that may be recited at any time. So when a person says the taslim at the end of the obligatory prayer, he should pray for forgiveness (by saying Astaghfir-Allah) three times, and say, “Allahumma anta al-salam wa minka al-salam, tabarakta ya dha’l-jalali wa’l-ikram (“O Allah, You are al-Salam [the One Who is free from all defects and deficiencies), and from You is all peace, blessed are You, O possessor of majesty and honour”), then start the takbir.

This is for those who are not on Hajj. The pilgrims should start the takbir after prayer from Zhuhr on the Day of Sacrifice (the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah).

And Allah knows best.

Lukgaf:
You would have come across the below verses from the Holy Quran here on Nairaland or elsewhere been circulated by the enemy of Islam alleging that Islam is a not peaceful religion and the Holy Quran (the word of Allah) prescribes killing of people unjustly or preaches terror. This thread seeks to clarify some of these misconceptions about Islam. So, if you are willing to take an objective stand even as a non-Muslim, I advise that you read this to the end.



The verses above are either not completed (some parts were cut-off) or have their meaning/translation distorted (Al-Quran was revealed in Arabic and requires a non-Arab who wants to translate or read the meaning to have a depth understanding or high proficiency in Arabic Grammar).

For example, to under how people distort /cut off some verses and their meaning, consider the following statement: "When you see scorpions in your room, Lukgaf, kill them mercilessly and without mercy.". Lukgaf, in this sentence, is being commanded to kill "scorpions" found in his room mercilessly and without mercy. So, this sentence can be distorted to "Lukgaf, kill them mercilessly without mercy". (And Allah has the most accurate and compelling example). You will agree with me that saying "Lukgaf, kill them mercilessly without mercy" makes the sentence incomplete and its meaning distorted. Exactly the same way above verses and their meaning are distorted.

So if we understand this, let me now take you through the meaning of terrorism according to Islam and the west as well as explained and detailed on IslamQA (see here, for a reference)




I hope I have cleared some of your misconceptions about these verses and Islam in general. JazaakumLahu khaeran for reading.
