basilico:Including filthy places? Christians pray direct to God......Christians were given a direct line to GodWho is Jesus? God or human? Muslims grabbed temple Mount and are lying there was no Jewish presence on temple mount |
malvisguy212:You are welcome. My preceding posts answered your question. Keep reading |
basilico:See, prayer(salat) and supererogatory prayer are solely for Allah (God) alone, period. There is nothing wrong praying anywhere except places where Shariah forbids like bathrooms(toilets) etc. At the graveyard however, if say for instance a mosque is built on a grave without them knowing and later they found out, it is reported that the mosque be razed. It's also haram to pray facing grave even though the grave is in direction of qibla. One should seek to pray some place else. There are times or some places with constraint of space, yes, one may find himself in such situation where you have to pray besides grave. There isnt nothing wrong praying next to (besides) it. What is wrong is facing it or praying on top of it. However, ignorant ones who know little to nothing, because of them it's highly recommended not to pray by the grave (standing, bowing, sitting on top of grave). These constitute act of shirk. Besides there are enough space to pray. It would be wrong to deliberately seek to pray around grave all the time for no reason. When i said prayer, i meant obligatory salat. But there is absolutely nothing wrong to visit grave and ask Allah for forgiveness of the person or pray for them NOT PRAY TO THEM. This is something one can do at home actually because prayer can be accepted anywhere. Generally visiting grave is encourage for us to sober, reflect etc. You may want to read important info here http://islamqa.info/en/65944 Give an example of a grave that is worshipped by Christians or Jews.At the time of the prophet, is what the hadith referred to. It means Jews and Christians at the time did worship the grave etc. Obviously, your form of worship is different today except some minority somewhere who still do. What do you have in common with Christians of old is you worship Jesus. Thats shirk. |
There is difference between visiting graves and worshiping graves. It's not forbidden in Islam to visit the grave and pray for the dead. Worshiping the grave is 100% haram and that's what the prophet talked about. Visiting graves is encouraged actually so that we reflect and remember that we too will be there some day. prophet Muhammad(SAW) encouraged to visit graves. |
enieme:i don't think you get my point. I am of the opinion that it's better of to get out of sectarianism. I am not saying groups you mentioned are deviants. Yes, i know about salafi, sufi, shia and others. |
plappville:PAIN! |
plappville:IRRELEVANT!!! |
dolphinheart:"sum bukum umuyun fahum layarjium" ~ Mathew 13:13 |
enieme:I understand but quran gives ultimatum (3:103). Unless some individuals or group of individual extremely stepped out of the fold while hiding under the banner of islam, then we expose them. That's all. |
1love4all:Oh well, you seem to understand washing right side first and then left side. So basically, you are in to it. I was basically saying you have to make niyah before you begin ghusl and then water must reach every part of you body, simple. Read more here https://www.nairaland.com/247096/how-u-realy-perform-ghusl |
1love4all:You welcome. Which part is bothering you? |
gbadexy:There are difference of opinon among scholars of the number of congregation if one misses Jumah salat for legitimate reason, some say at least 12 people needed to pray Jumah. Some say 40 etc. If not, you pray regular zuhr prayer. Be steadfast on Jumah though. It is obligatory. Read the links for more info. http://islamqa.info/en/7718 http://islamqa.info/en/79667 God knows best. |
Kunlexic:Bro, ignore all these man. They pretty much irrelevant and unhealthy. Okay? |
1love4all:Dont worry yourself over "5 different ways". The whole idea of in-dept explanations of different forms of janaba are two things: Niyah (intention) & water MUST reach every part of your body. Is't okay? No intention (niyah) no ghusl. Got it? |
joseph1832:I believe your concern was answered. Perhaps you are not satisfied?. That's not important anyways. We only share what we know. I would have repeated the same thing other brothers said bcus that's just it. I think your basic concern is Angel forced him to speak?. Well, Yes, the Prophet did not read or write before the First Revelation. As to whether he could read or write later in his life, there are many different views on that among our scholars. For a correct account of the events of the First Revelation, please see extracts below from the book ‘The Message’ by Ayatullah Subhani: "…an angel placed a tablet by his side and said: ‘Recite’. And the Prophet on account of the fact that he was unlettered and had not learned to read and write, replied that he was unable to read. The Archangel Jibreel pressed him severely and then asked him to recite. However, he repeated the same reply. The angel again pressed him severely. This action was repeated thrice and after the third pressure he suddenly felt within himself that he could read the writing on the tablet held by the angel. He then read the following verses which are infact reckoned to be the introduction of the Book of human welfare: Read (Surah al-Alaq, 96 1- 5) for yourslef. Thanks Archangel Jibreel accomplished his assignment and after the revelation the Prophet also descended the mountain of Hira and proceeded towards Khadijah’s house. The above verses clearly indicate the programme of the Holy Prophet in a nutshell, and tell in obvious terms that the foundation of his religion is provided by recitation and reading, learning and wisdom and use of pen. The great soul of the Holy Prophet was illumined with the light of revelation. He recorded in his heart what he had heard from the angel (Jibreel). After this incident the same angel addressed him saying: “O Muhammad! You are the Messenger of Allah and I am Jibreel” When he entered the house his dear wife observed signs of deep reflection and anxiety in his face and asked him what the matter was. The Holy Prophet related to Khadijah what had happened and also added the sentence ‘I felt afraid of myself’. Khadijah looked at him with respect, prayed for him and comforted him by mentioning some of his good qualities. Amongst other things she said: ‘You are kind to your kinsfolk, show hospitality to your guests and you are not afraid of bearing hardships in the right path. Allah will assist you’.” On the use of "force", if you insist, well, here is possible explanation and that the use of force is not restricted to our prophet Muhammad(SAW) alone. If you look through the bible you will find several instances when Force was needed to get a Prophet or other Holy man to listen. Have you ever read Numbers 22:: 22-38 32-33 does not seem very gentle: The angel of the Lord asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me. The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If it had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared it.” Some times Force was needed to convince people. Now if you believe the story of Paul, was being knocked unconscious and blinded for 3 days very Gentle? It took something strong to convince Muhammad(PBUH) that Gabriel was an angel. He was not an easy one to convince and was aware of the trickery of the idolators. |
dolphinheart:Honestly, i think i am done talking to you. You are not here for intellectual and textual discourse. You are here only to say and defend wicked people base on how you feel about them. I keep throwing the question to you but you simply ignore. I asked you and others to differentiate btw being a Jew(tribe) and religion(Judaism). You have failed over. What I was trying to make you understand is that: *Allah has never chosen any people because of any racial or ethnical entity but he chose certain people because of Islam. *Children of Israel, when they followed Islam, they were the best nation; they were Muslims but others were Mushriks or Kafirs. *The Holy Land is blessed because of being the place of Allah's Messengers and His Message. Descendants of Jacob, among whom are Moses, David, Solomon and `Isa (Jesus) who are holy prophets, so they can fit the Holy Land. *The Qur'an addressed earlier the followers of Moses to liberate the Holy Land, they were afraid to get into the Holy Land and they made an excuse for not restoring that land because they believed that the Canaanites are too strong to defeat. They mocked Moses and rebelled his request, the story is detailed in suratal-Ma'idah, 21-26. *The Holy Land is always the land assigned for the servants of Allah who surrender everything to him not wicked people rulling over it now. *The occupation of the Holy Land is due to Muslims’ lapsing in weakness and deviating from Allah’s teachings. The occupation of the Jews to the Holy Land is something casual. The Holy Land is waiting for the time when there will be holy people who strictly abide by Allah's teachings to deserve it. As for claiming that the Jews have a right to take Palestine as their promised land, we will say that the verse that reads, (Go into the holy land which Allah hath ordained for you.) (Al-Ma`idah 5:21) means that the promise stands so long as the people given this promise abide by Allah’s teachings. Once they show disobedience, the promise no longer exists. In addition, this promise is not an absolute one; rather, it is confined to a certain period of time. Now, the promise is no more valid, for Almighty Allah says, (We have written in the Scripture, after the Reminder: My righteous slaves will inherit the earth.) (Al-Anbiya' 21:105) The people who are now following God's commands, obedient and submit (Islam) to Him (as Muslims) are now Palestinians. If they also seize to be Muslims, or are wicked in conduct and forbidden what God made permissible etc, they would face the same predicament(banishment). These are the conditions in order to have the Deed claim to the Holy Land not by racial or superiority as you people claim. Simply put. The two conditions are: to have faith in God(which including believing in all His prophets and messangers, from Adam, to Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad) and be righteous in conduct. The Bible says the same thing. Quran and Bible clearly say that Holy Land was given to Jews(being believers and obedient to God at that time) NOT simply becus of being Jews. No, sir. You dont understand. Thats why I posted the video to enlighten you. Please read the conditions further here. http://usa.mediamonitors.net/layout/set/print/content/view/full/3632 Author Naomi Wolf also wrote on this after she was persuaded to read the Bible for herself. She writes: "Actually if you read Genesis, Exodus and Deuteronomy in Hebrew — as I do — you see that God did not “give” Israel to the Jews/Israelites. We as Jews are raised with the creed that “God gave us the land of Israel” in Genesis — and that ethnically ‘we are the chosen people.” But actually — and I could not believe my eyes when I saw this, I checked my reading with major scholars and they confirmed it — actually God’s “covenant” in Genesis, exodus and Deuteronomy with the Jewish people is NOT ABOUT AN ETHNICITY AND NOT ABOUT A CONTRACT. IT IS ABOUT A WAY OF BEHAVING." http://beforeitsnews.com/israel/2014/07/god-gave-israel-to-the-jews-author-naomi-wolfs-mind-blowing-bible-experience-2446712.html But the criminals who re-wrote(and changed) the Bible said that (Deuteronomy 9:5) "It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity that you are going in to take possession of their land;..." . This is false obviously. |
dolphinheart: author=SalCpost=39087389Waste of time talking to you guys. So far neither of you can differentiate Jews and Judaism. This simple analysis you cant figure out. Religion is neutral...regardless of whether one is jew, arab, african etc. You can subscribe to any religion. Same we talking about here. Being Jewish tribe doesnt mean you practice Judaism even though most of them now do. The Holy Land is NOT free. It is detail in the Quran and even in the Bible that the "Land" was given on conditions. Didnt your Bible says that?. |
joseph1832:Be right here later, in sha Allah. |
A wise old man was sitting at the river bank when he saw a cat that had fallen into the water, flailing around, trying to save itself from drowning. The man decided to save the cat. He stretched his hand out but was scratched by the cat. He pulled his hand back in pain. However, a minute later he stretched his hand out again to save the cat, but it scratched him again, and again he pulled his hand back in pain. Another minute later he was yet again trying for the third time!! A man, who was nearby watching what was happening, yelled out: "O wise man, you have not learned your lesson the first time, nor the second time, and now you are trying to save the cat a third time?" The wise man paid no heed to that man's scolding, and kept on trying until he managed to save the cat. He then walked over to the man, and patted his shoulder saying: "My son.. it is in the cat's nature to scratch, and it is in my nature to love and have sympathy. Why do you want me to let the cat's nature overcome mine !?!! My son: Treat people according to your nature, not according to theirs, no matter what they are like and no matter how numerous are their actions that harm you and cause you hurt sometimes. And do not pay heed to all the voices that loudly call out to you to leave behind your good qualities merely because the other party is not deserving of your noble actions. When you live to give happiness to others, The Almighty will send you those who will live to give happiness to you. "Is the reward for good anything but good?" Quran: 55:60 Be beautiful in character and hearts will love you. So never regret the moments you gave happiness to someone, even if that person did not deserve it. And suffice in the fact that you have a Lord Who will reward you for good with good. ____________ “The entire Deen is (about) good character, so whoever exceeds you in good character, has exceeded you in the Deen.” - Ibn al Qayyum (Rahmatullahi 'alayh) |

^ I have spoken, madam plappville. You obviously said nothing reasonable to counter points i raised. You just as confused as your fellow dolphin heart. dolphinheart: plappville:You have a blessed day |
Demmzy15:Alhamduliah Robil Alamin. Fine. Thanks lexiconkabir:lol. I guess i am used to the phrase |
Demmzy15:Oga oo. Many people complain about parents related issues when it comes to marriage in today's world. May Allah make it easy for you. |
^Parents? |
dolphinheart:You confused buddy The destruction has happened before the birth of moh . So it "has been destroyed , not 'will" be destroyed. The temple does not exist again ,so how will it be destroyed a third time. Pls show us the conflicting accountsIs it neccessarily the Temple or establishment?. When we said it was destroyed, it means the kingdom itself by which "ruling state" was destroyed including Temple itself. So who rule over Jerusalem now?...Isnt zionist Jews?. Read below what Quran says confirming their pending destruction Allah (swt) States: "And we decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture, that indeed you would do mischief on the earth twice and you will become tyrants and extremely arrogant! So, when the promise came for the first of the two, We sent against you slaves of Ours given to terrible warfare. They entered the very innermost parts of your homes. And it was a promise (completely) fulfilled. Then We gave you once again, a return of victory over them. And We helped you with wealth and children and made you more numerous in manpower. (And We said): 'If you do well, you do good for your ownselves, and if you do evil (you do it) against yourselves'. Then, when the second promise came to pass, (We permitted your enemies) to make your faces sorrowful and to enter the mosque (of Jerusalem) as they had entered it before, and to destroy with utter destruction all that fell in their hands. [And We Said in the Taurat (Torah)]: 'It may be that your Lord may show mercy unto you, but if you return (to sins), We shall return (to Our Punishment). And We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers" [Qur'an 17:4-8]. See highlighted part?. Read the beginning of this verse quoted showing it was destroyed twice. And the third and the last time (as highlighted) says if they return to mischief on earth again, God will return wrath on them. Ask yourself now. Have they not returned to their wickedness again, killing innocent Palestinians, assassinations, dropping bombs and killing babies, put Arab Palestinians in the largest concentration camp in the world aka "open prison"?. You dont see all that?. The list goes on. So expect nothing but final destruction of the state of Israel. This is not just my opinion. Search youtube and see what some Rabbis have said about pending destrution awaiting State of Israel |
Annunaki:who wants to talk to inaki ![]() |
plappville:Your god worshiped?. He worshipped himself or what?. Who did he worship at the temple? The bible teaches that Jesus worshiped at Herod’s Temple and it was there that He prophesied the destruction of the temple.(Matthew 24:1–2). Jesus’ prophecy was fulfilled when the temple was destroyed by the Roman army in AD 70.Thanks for the info but no thanks. You didn't tell us why the temple was destroyed?. Let me help you. It was destroyed because of their inequities. Quran in chapter 17 speaks about this and that they would be destroyed twice. The first time they were destroyed was by Babylonian army. The second time is what you said up there. And that was before the advent of prophet muhammad (saw). Now they are going to be destroyed the third and the last time and this time it will be muslim army. So get your bp up. I am a Christian not muslim. Who am i to hate the Jews because they killed Jesus? It was a prophecy that was fulfilled. Jesus himself forgave the Jews for what they did.smh. Don't get me started with u on this. Your bible gave conflicting accounts of the story. |
[s] plappville:[/s] |
plappville:looks like you still can't differentiate btw being a jew and judaism. There have always being Jewish tribe known as "believers" in Islam. Just like there are now few jews that are christians by faith. It's the same with islam. It's in modern time being Jews is synonymous with judaism bcus most jews practice judaism now. Don't get it confused ma'am. |
AlBaqir:Take it not personal brother. The Karbala incident is all muslims problem. Matter of fact, it was subject of discussion at Jumah today and it's always like that every Muharram. We are already told by the prophet(Allah's Blessings be upon him) what to do with respect to it....FAST and REFLECT. I'm dead serious about deen. Then taziya (cutting oneself with sharp object) is different from "beating" oneself.Honestly, both look silly to me. Makes Islam looks crazy. While I understand it doesnt take one outside the fold, it is sometimes presented by the Western media to be it's Islam while in fact it's not. It is basically innocent idea of some folks. They really need to stop it for good. Ulama that approved such procession need to retract the fatwa. Do you do either of both? |
