Thanks lanrexlan and Albaqir. It is surely an honor completing the numbered days fasting and i wouldn't mind celebrating Eid. Only that i do not attach religious significance to Eid.

You are welcome. Good you won't mind celebrating it, not like your brother who finds faults with it.

The Prophet was rather more accommodating, flexible and tolerant and did not behave irrationally or unintelligently where and when necessary, and said: “The most beloved religion to Allah is the tolerant Hanafiyyah” He also said: “Religion is very easy and whoever over burden himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded, and gain strength by offering the salat in the morn and afternoon and during the hours of nights” (Bukhari).


A popular narration of an idolater who found the Prophet sleeping under a tree and woke him up after seizing his sword, only to ask the Prophet who will save him from his (idolater’s) hand before he chop off the Prophet’s head. But which fate have it that the Prophet got hold of the sword and instead of killing the idolater forgave him and allow him to go! Allah says: “And good and evil are not alike. Repel evil with that which is best. And he between whom and thyself was enmity will become as though he were a warm friend” Q41: 34.

This would not appeal to extremist militants who claim to be following the footstep of the merciful Prophet to letter. But whether you are armed or not, whether you are friend or enemy, Muslim or non-Muslim does not appeal to them. They act unintelligently killing anybody, children, old people and females. Destroying properties, schools, and farms at will and yet would like to come and rule over those people whom they have brutalized and traumatized. Is peace visible in such governance? They are best described by a local idiom, “A powerful man who is deprived of intelligent is a failure and the chief of all weak persons!”

The Prophet attained so powerful position to do whatever he likes but he applied intelligent and wisdom. That was the secret of his success at both religious and secular levels that continue to appealing to reasonable and people with spark of truth in them and to the acceptance of Islam by many non-Muslims. The Prophet(SAW) was narrated to have said: “He who commits suicide by throttling shall keep on throttling himself in the hell fire forever, and he who commits suicide by stabbing himself shall keep stabbing himself in the hell fire forever”. (Bukhari).
He indeed warned against what the extremist militants have embarked upon. Narrated Abdullahi bin Umar, the Prophet said: “After me do not become disbelievers, by striking (cutting) the necks of one another” (Bukhari).


The case of Muslim extremists is like the case of a man who accused the Prophet of injustice and not fearing Allah. It seems present day militants are bent at condemning the Prophet humane nature and Allah mercy of not knowing what practicing true Islam is according to this narration: “Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri: “Ali bin Abi talib sent a piece of gold not yet taken out of its ore, in a tanned leather container to Allah’s Messenger. Allah Messenger distributed that amongst four persons… On that, one of his companions said, “We are more deserving of this gold than these persons.” When that news reached the Prophet, he said, “Don’t you trust me though I am the trustworthy man of the One in heaven…? There got up a man… and said “O Allah’s messenger! Be afraid of Allah” The Prophet said “woe to you! Am I not of all the people of the earth the most entitled to fear Allah? Then that man went away. Khalid bin Al-Walid said, “O Allah’s Messenger! Shall I chop his neck off?” The Prophet said No, maybe he offers prayers” Khalid said, “numerous are those who offer prayer and say by their tongues what is not in their hearts.” Allah’s Messenger said, “I have not been ordered to search the hearts of people or cut open their bellies” . Then the Prophet looked at him while he the man was going away and said, “From the offspring of this man, there will come out people who will recite the Quran continuously and elegantly but it will not exceed their throats. They will go out of the religion as an arrow goes out through a game’s body.” (Bukhari).

Do the extremist militants care to know Muslims who offer salat and how many throats and bellies they have cut open? Is there any proof that today’s extremists or militant groups have not gone out of true teaching of Islam but are defacing the faith. Certainly Prophet Muhammad(SAW) can never be the mentor of this kind of people bereft of mercy and moral sense.

By Ustadh Ayoola AbdulRazaq

.

Ibn Umar narrated that the Prophet said:
“Whoever misses the Asr prayer, it is as if he has lost his family and property” (Bukhari).

Do the extremist militants kill themselves and burn their properties when they miss Asr prayer or does this happen to their family? Does any Muslim do this rather and must we really do it? Correct sense will tell one that only the significant and reward are being stressed by the Prophet to make us be on guard and perceive the gravity. Common sense are said to be uncommon and it seems this has root among Muslim extremists and militants which they have copied from the history of militants of other faiths. Certainly this is not the way of Prophet of Islam and the foremost Muslims in history. Extremists are only using veneer of Islam for their own end. Reason why they quickly claim the mantle of Islam for themselves with their hand soaked in blood of innocent Muslims and non-Muslims.


Samurah bin Jundah narrated that the Prophet said: “Anybody among Muslims who meets, gathers together, lives and stays (permanently) with a mushrik and agrees to his way, opinion and enjoy his living with him (Mushrik), then he (that Muslim) is like him (the mushrik). (Abu Dawud).

This hadith is interpreted to be the verdict about residence in the land of Ash-shrik – land where polytheism is practiced. The popular scholars said it indicates that ‘a Muslim should not stay in a non-Muslim State, he must emigrate to a Muslim country where Islam is practiced’. But how possible is this? Can the Arab lands accommodate or ready to accept all Muslim world? Did the Prophet(SAW) say all Muslims should go and live in Arabia peninsular? And does it mean those leaders of Muslim lands, their families and other Muslims who frequent and find it comfortable and satisfied to live in America and Europe are polytheists?

Muslim extremists reject modern innovations of the westerner yet their sense did not tell them to stop using western weapons to kill their own brothers and halt the modern communication gadgets to communicate their agenda to the world. What then is their pride and which side of Islam precisely do they stand upon?



Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet said:
[color=orange]“No salat is more heavy for the hypocrites than the fajr and the Isha prayer, but if they knew the reward for these salat at their respective times they would certainly present themselves in the mosque even if they are to crawl. The Prophet added, ‘certainly I intended to order the call-maker to pronounce iqamah and order a man to lead the salat and then take a fire flame to burn all those (men along with their houses) who had not yet left their houses for the salat in the mosque”. (Bukhari)[/color].

But did the Prophet ever attempt this once on the hypocrite of his time? Today, the Muslim militants and extremists would be quick in executing this simile, not thinking why the Prophet said it but never carried out a single attempt!
Anas bin Malik reported that Allah Messenger said : “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say Lailaha illallah. And if they say so, perform As-salat, like our salat face Qiblah and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah” Bukhari. And reference to Q3: 110, narrated Abu Hurairah, “the verse means the best for the people as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam (and thereby save them from the eternal punishment in the Hell fire and make them enter Paradise in the hereafter)” (Bukhari).


The militants’ and extremists’ facts include these hadiths but no doubt, the statements are exclusive and biding on Prophet alone for some specific time and condition, as there were some Jews and Christians and hypocrites Muslims during his lifetime which, is clearly shown in the Quran. And this was proved as the Prophet pet his uncle Abu Talib with Islam till death but to no avail! An extremist or militant would not see or do this; instead, he is ready to kill his own father and son not for outright rejecting Islam like Prophet’s uncle but for simple disagreement of his understanding of Islam. Aside where are we to put Q2: 256 when Allah says: “ There should be no compulsion in the religion. Surely right has become distinct from the wrong…”, and “Say O you disbelivers. I worship not that which you worship, nor worship you what I worship … for you your religion, and for me my religion” Q107: 1-6 . Why did the messenger not put chain on the disbelievers of his time like Abu-Lahab to accept Islam? When Allah says:
“Verily you guide not whom you like but Allah guide whom He will and He knows best those who are the guided” Q28:56. All these have absolved the Prophet and Islam from the evils and misinterpretations of the extremists of any Quranic verse or hadith narration and have vindicated the Muslims of their stand.

Fortunately enough, Allah didn’t praise or report the Prophet as good or excel in hatred, evil, fighting or killing but of good moral, kindness and forgiveness Q9:128; Q21:107; & Q68:4. Murder or killing is physical termination of the life of a fellow human being and injustice is to kill a person mentally, psychologically and spiritually by denying him his right. These are deeds of these militants which are in contrary to the nature and mission of Prophet of Islam who said: “A Muslim is not given to character assassination or to harsh, foul language” (Muslim). “One who wields a weapon against us is not one of us” (Muslim) and “One who deceives is not one of us” (Trimidhi)


Meanwhile their error and evil as well as short witted mind come to the fore as these people failed woefully in many simple, better and clear orders of the Quran and Hadith in terms of worship and devotion that would have portray them better Muslims than senseless killing of non-combatant westerners and Muslims they come across in their mission.
For example, Allah commands: “O you who art bearing heavy responsibility stand up at night in prayer except a small portion thereof, half of it or make it a little less than that or make it a little more than that and recite the Quran slowly and thoughtfully” Q73: 1-4 . Do these killers who hide about in fear and apprehension have time to perform this simple but weighty and beneficial act ordered by Allah? Even if they do it, how often do they do it compared to their shooting spree, killing and wanton of destruction?


Likewise Allah orders: “…And ask forgiveness for your frailties and for believing men and believing women…” Q47: 19. And He directed us to the best supplication and conduct towards others:
“Say ‘Our Lord forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and leave not in our hearts any rancor against those who believe…” Q59: 10.


Do extremist militants ever deem it fit to pray for other Muslims outside their camps? Can they even pray this prayer or is this possible for the group that goes about killing anybody? And one that is quick in labeling anybody who disagrees with its warped ideology unbeliever; that holds every Muslim who refuses to join its camp a suspect, traitor or infidel. In fact rancor, hatred and suspicion are their norm. And do they ever ponder over their actions as wrong and sinful against Allah and humanity which, need to ask forgiveness upon?


Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet said:
“If the people knew the reward for pronouncing the adhan and for standing in first row in salat and found no other way to get that except by drawing lots they would draw lots…” (Bukhari).

Do the militant groups draw lots in their salat or do all of them stand in first row during salat? Even if all Muslims came to mosque at the same time can all stand in the front row? Are all Muslims callers to salat? Do the callers draw lots or fight on who is to call salat or who is to stand in front? That shows the idiocy in claims of the extremist militants on their choice of hadith and Quranic verses which they misinterpret in a decontexualized way to suit their purpose.

Islam is the religion of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad(SAW) has come to live it for humanity. Allah do angry but when one read through the Quran, there is no doubt that Allah’s anger comes last even late to unbelievers and violators of His order, yet with open hand to accept their repentance at the last minute. Prophet Muhammad(SAW) was no difference in the act of patience and forgiveness, the hadith is replete of his kindness and perfect quickness in doing good and forgiveness but highly reluctant in rebuking, punishing his offenders or fighting and killing his enemies at war, for which Allah recognized him and commended him upon: “Surely thou Muhammad hast sublime morals” Q68: 4.


Prophet’s motto in the use of power seems to be one of his sayings: “He is not strong one who overcomes people by strength but he is strong, the one that can control his anger” (Bukhari).

His moral was so encompassing and responsible for establishing both the theology of Islam and its main ethical and moral principles, and as a proselytizing the Islamic faith and in establishing the religious practices of Islam to the satisfaction of Allah-(Q5:3).

It is this attribute of forgiving sins and acceptance of repentance and meekness of the Prophet, Allah wants Muslims to emulate when He recommends: “Verily you have in the Prophet of Allah an excellent model, for him who fears Allah and the last day and who remember Allah much” Q33:21.


The sacredness of life and justice is of high importance to Prophet Muhammad(SAW) in his model, as Islam makes it a serious sin for any human being to engage in indiscriminate killing and deliberate injustice under any disguise. Both carry serious punishment and in fact a Muslim who perpetrates any of the two or other big sins cannot be peaceful or establish the peaceful message of Islam. He is therefore not different from a disbeliever or pagan by the virtue of the above hadith. Allah says: “O you who believe! Be strict in observing justice and be a witness for Allah even though it be against yourselves, or your parents and kindred…” Q4: 135.

The ‘powerful Islamic militant groups’ like Al-Qeda, Ashabab, ISIS and Boko Haram and host of others lay claim to represent Islam and understand Islam better than any other people even renown Muslim scholars in the world today but they lack true sample of rationale, maturity, flexibility, tolerance kindness and forgiveness exhibited by the Prophet as ordered by Allah.
Unlike the Prophet and his sahaba, this group of people are quick in brutal killing, committing suicides, kidnapping, enslavement, impregnating women whom they don’t even have right to under Shariah of Islam which, they claim to implement with unimaginable brutalities even among themselves to prove their strictness and holiness even than angels in faith.
And in order to justify their atrocities especially killing of all sorts, they are quick in pointing to the Quranic verses like Q9:29, Q2:191……. etc using both Quranic and hadith texts in a decontexualized way to suit their purpose even to extreme point, and trying to make Gracious Good God a co-conspirator in their evil and genocidal project.

PENMIGHT:
As salaam alaykum warahmatuhllah
@ Bro lanrexlan,
My attention has been drawn to your query or clarifications sought in respect to the answer of the question below.

I must sincerly apologise for responding late, i have not been able to access this thread for days.

Having said that, i will like to clearly state the following;

1) For all purposes and intent, the question was drawn up to explain an essential aspect with the belief of adherents pristine Islam from the Quran and Sunnah with respect to their belief about the Sahabahs (may Allaah be pleased with them)

2) Your answer, like many others, only butressed what has been known and established of all Muslims being brothers ( Q 49:10). You explained the rule without the exception as it affects The Sahabah. The Prophet was clearly refering to the divine bond of brotherliness that exist between all Muslims because be did not onlyAbu bakr his brother but he also called Abu bakr the brother of Aisha (his daughther).

It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to me when he was sick, ‘Call Abu Bakr for me, your father and your brother, so that I may dictate a letter. For I am worried lest someone who is ambitious says that he is more entitled to the position of leadership, but Allaah and the believers will not accept anyone other than Abu Bakr.’” (Narrated by Muslim, 2387). 

However, this does not justify us refering to Abu Bakr as a brother of Aisha. We call her the "Mother of the beleivers", her FATHER inclusive .

3) The evidence you brought only corroborated more (as it will be explained shortly) the fact that the Sahabahs are not to be referred to as brothers to the Prophet but simply they are "his companions (sahabah).

The relationship between the Sahabah and the Prophet transcends mere brother Islamic Brotherhood. Association by the religion of Allaah makes all believers brethrens but the relationship by Status which Allaah establishes in the Quran makes clearly exempt some cases .


The Messanger of Allah (peace be upon him) said :
"
The best of my ummah are the first and the last, and between them there will be some crookedness. Would that I could see my brethren.” They said, “Are we not your brethren?” He said, “You are my companions.”

Shayk Ibn Taymiyyah wrote to clarify this :-


" This shows that precedence was given to the Sahaabah, because they alone are his companions, which is a higher status than merely being brothers.” Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 11/370, 371

Jazakallah khairan Wa Shukran for the clarification. May Allah ease our affairs and grant us beneficial knowledge.
Wa alaykum salaam waramatulah wabarakatuh

PhunsukhWangdu:
O brother! You should have sent the organizers a private mail as regards all these. It would have been more convenient for them to retract their stand if you had taken through that channel. Let's agree that no one is infallible. I hope they will revisit your score though.

The quiz wasn't private, so I don't think my observations toward some of the answers should be private also. A sister had made her own assertion towards a given answer and she was cleared. I don't know why mine should be different.

I agree nobody is infallible, but some people are influenced by what they read and this can be with them for a long time.

I am not interested about they revisiting my score, I am interested in the knowledge. But it seems wizeboy is getting me wrong.
What I need is clarification of the answers given and nothing more

Wizeboy: MOSQUES
Al-Masjid-al-Haram
( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺒﻘﺮﺓ , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #144)
( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺒﻘﺮﺓ , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #149)
Masjid-ul-Zirar
The event is mentioned in the Quran verse 9:107, the verse states:
“And there are those who put up a mosque by way of mischief and infidelity - to disunite the Believers - and in preparation for one who warred against Allah and His Messenger aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good; But Allah doth declare that they are certainly liars. [Quran 9:107]"
The Muslim scholar Ibn Kathir's commentary on this verse is as follows:
“(If we come back from our travel, Allah willing.) When the Messenger of Allah came back from Tabuk and was approximately one or two days away from Al-Madinah, Jibril came down to him with the news about Masjid Ad-Dirar and the disbelief and division between the believers, who were in Masjid Quba' (which was built on piety from the first day), that Masjid Ad-Dirar was meant to achieve. Therefore, the Messenger of Allah sent some people to Masjid Ad-Dirar to bring it down before he reached Al-Madinah. `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas said about this Ayah (9:107), "They are some people of the Ansar to whom Abu `Amir said, `Build a Masjid and prepare whatever you can of power and weapons, for I am headed towards Caesar, emperor of Rome, to bring Roman soldiers with whom I will expel Muhammad and his companions.' When they built their Masjid, they went to the Prophet and said to him, "We finished building our Masjid and we would like you pray in it and invoke Allah for us for His blessings
[Tafsir ibn Kathir on 9:107].[7]
Masjid al-Aqsa
Masjid al-Aqsa ( ﺍﻟﻤﺴﺠﺪ ﺍﻷﻗﺼﻰ ) is a sacred mosque in Jerusalem, considered to be the third holiest place in Islam.
Masjid al-Aqsa is referred to in verse (17:1) of chapter (17) sūrat l-isrā (The Night Journey):
Sahih International: Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
Masjid-ul-Nabawi
l-Masjid an-Nabawi (Arabic: ﺍﻟﻤﺴﺠﺪ ﺍﻟﻨﺒﻮﻱ ) or the Prophet's Mosque is a great mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia. It stands on the site of a mosque built by the Prophet Muhammad himself next to his house and contains his tomb. The Prophet's Mosque is the second holiest mosque in the world after al-Haram in Mecca. (Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem comes in third.)

Masjid Quba
Quba is the place on the outskirts of Madinah where the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), accompanied by Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and first stayed after emigrating from Makkah. They arrived on Monday 12th Rab’i al-Awwal, fourteen years after Prophethood and this date marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar (Hijra), (16th July 622 CE). A masjid was established here by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), the first to be built in Islam.
Wallahu Alam

Unfortunately, this doesn't answer my question nor refute my allegations.


Your question was

4)Which are the mosques that are mentioned in the Qur’an
5 mosques:
a)Masjid-ul-Haram.
b)Masjid-ul-Zirar.
c)Masjid-ul-Nabawi.
d)Masjid-ul-Aqsa.
e)Masjid Quba.

I replied and said

Only two mosques were mentioned by name and they were Masjid Al Aqsa and Masjid Al Haram[Surah Al Isra 17:1]. The mosque of Quba was not mentioned by name in the Quran but can only be known when reading the tafsir of the Qur'an and the verse that can referenced with it is Surah At Taubah 9:107-108. I can't even find where mosques of Nabawi and Zirar were mentioned or where references were made to them. That apart.

You went on to list sacred destinations in Islam and this was not your question at all.In your link,no verses were given to back up the prophet's mosque from the Qur'an and mosques of Zirar and Quba can only be found in tafsir of the Qur'an in which I also mentioned.

For the sake of Allah, I am not here to argue or exchange words with you.

I believe there is always a proper way of addressing situation like this than jumping into conclusion that somethings are wrong.. We should learn to be modest in our approach rather than totally condemning somethings which we might at the end of the day been the one who is wrong.

This is not about jumping into conclusion. I careful read and re read all my claims before making my assertions.

Concerning your first reply

Surah At-Taubah 9:72 X = Read this verse again, I couldn't find any there.

I made a mistake while typing. It's Surah At Taubah 9:73,even if this verse isn't included it doesn't amount to 11times which you claim.

At-Taubah [9:73]
O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them, their abode is Hell, - and worst indeed is that destination.

I couldn't see anywhere from your claim which dispute that those four were not among the copyists, unless you prove otherwise.
You can as well name those you feel are the copyists of the revelations.

Are you kidding me? The burden lies on you to produce where those people you listed were writers of the revelation.
I gave you few Haidth to back up my claims

I said in my previous post.I gave the names in my previous post.

Sahih Al Bukhari Book 61,Haidth 507
Narrated Anas bin Malik: (The Caliph 'Uthman ordered Zaid bin Thabit, Said bin Al-As, 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith bin Hisham to write the Quran in the form of a book (Mushafs) and said to them. "In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit (Al-Ansari) regarding any dialectic Arabic utterance of the Quran, then
write it in the dialect of Quraish, for the Quran was revealed in this dialect." So they did it.


You may say this was after the demise of the Proohet but there are evidences that Thabit was among those that do write down the revelation for the Prophet

Sahih al-Bukhari, Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh)) Book 65, Hadith 4725
Narrated 'Zaid bin Thabit Al-Ansari: who was one of those who used to write the Divine Revelation: Abu Bakr sent for me after the (heavy) casualties among the warriors (of the battle) of Yamama (where a great number of Qurra' were killed). `Umar was present with Abu Bakr who said, `Umar has come to me and said, The people have suffered heavy casualties on the day of (the battle of) Yamama, and I am afraid that there will be more casualties among the Qurra' (those who know the Qur'an by heart) at other battle-fields, whereby a large part of the Qur'an may be lost, unless you collect it......................

The onus lies on you to produce a single narration where those you mentioned are copyists of the Qur'an. I am here to learn.

Zaikon:
salamu alaekum plz i undstnd ur post but the last part is it sunnah ? or if it has origin in sunnah.

Wa alaykum salaam waramatulah wabarakatuh. There's no evidence to prove it that it's bidah. There are narrations that the early salaf did that.

What is the ruling on writing verses from
the Holy Qur’aan on a vessel so that it can
be washed and the water drunk by one who
is sick?.


Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing wrong with that. This was
narrated from some of the salaf (early
generation), and many of the scholars
stated that it is permissible.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on
him) said in Zaad al-Ma’aad (4/170)
concerning ruqyah to treat the evil eye:
A number of the salaf thought that verses
of Qur’aan might be written for him, then he
can drink them.

Mujaahid said: There isnothing wrong with writing Qur’aan then washing it and giving the water to the sick person to drink. Something similar was narrated from Abu Qulaabah. It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be
pleased with him) that he ordered that
Qur’aan be written for a woman who was
having difficulty in childbirth, then it was to
be washed and the water given to her to
drink. Ayyoob said: I saw Abu Qulaabah
writing something of Qur’aan then he
washed it with water and gave the water to
a man who had some pain to drink it.
End

Shaykh Muhammad Ibraaheem Aal al-
Shaykh (may Allaah have mercy on him)
was asked:
Is it permissible to write some verses of
Qur’aan for a sick person on a vessel, then
wash it and drink it?


He replied:
It does not seem that there is any thing
wrong with that. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah
have mercy on him) narrated that an umber
of the Salaf thought that verses of Qur’aan
could be written for a sick person to drink.

Salam Alaikum my dear brothers and sisters in Islam! I'm a practising muslim and i believe so much in the powers of the holy quran and duah (prayer) for solving issues, conquering one's enemy and also for deliverance. Even though i believe in the powers of leaves, herbs and roots for overcoming some life challenges through the intervention of the almighty Allah without whom nothing can be possible, but is it permissible, allowed or right to use leaves, herbs and roots for overcoming life challenges. I mean, using items like leaves, herbs roots, black soap, alligator pepper and other items sold in the market for things like ( Eyonu, Ayeta, Agbega lenu Ise, Bibo Asiri, e.t.c.) is it halal or haram ?

Wa alaykum salaam waramatulah wabarakatuh


Lol, this reminds me of some alufa calling themselves alfas. Had it been you want to use these herbs for medicinal purposes then ma sha Allah. Even some drugs today are found from roots and barks of plants. Giving you black soap for bibo asiri to me, is not Islam.



If you need overpowering enemies and life challenges take to Qur'an and put your trust in Allah.

For Ayeta,read Surah Al Falaq and An Nas. Also recite "Hasbuna Lahu wanimol wakil"

For Agbega lenu ise, recite "Wa rafana makana aliyyan"

For Arisiki irorun tabi bibo asiri, read Surah Al Waqiah

I don't want to give you counts, recite as much as you like. You may write those with ink and drink down(Ountu) if you like

Jazakallah khairan brother Albaqir. Nice read. How's Fatima Az Zakiyyah?

I made some observations concerning some answers that were posted and I found out that some of them are wrong. Please let's verify our answers before posting them because many people are here to learn(including myself) and producing wrong answers may put them off. Also people who already know some of the questions and giving them another set of answers, it may create confusion in their minds.
Another observation is that some participants do ask Google and copy and paste the answers which is clearly against the rule of the quiz

Sissie: * Copy and paste answers will not be allowed. 5 marks will be deducted if caught, and repeat offenders will get banned from the competition.

The following are my observations.

How many times was the Prophet addressed as Ya Aiyu Nabi?
11times

This is wrong. The Prophet(Peace be upon him and his family) was addressed as O Prophet! in not less than 13times.
These are the places in the Qur'an.

Surah At-Tahrim 66:1
Surah At-Tahrim 66:9
Surah At-Talaq 65;1
Surah Al-Mumtahina 60:12
Surah Al-Ahzab 33:1
Surah Al-Ahzab 33:28
Surah Al-Ahzab 33:45
Surah Al-Ahzab 33:50
Surah Al-Ahzab 33:59
Surah Al-Anfal 8:64
Surah Al-Anfal 8:65
Surah Al-Anfal 8:70
Surah At-Taubah 9:72

How many times does the Qur'an emphasizes on Charity or alms giving?
150

How the answer is 150 is what I don't know. The word Sadaqât was emphasized on in 14 places in Surah Al Baqarah 2;196,263,264,270,271,273, Surah An Nisa 4;114 Surah At Taubah 9;58,75,79,103,104 Surah Al Hadid 57;18 and Surah Al Mujadilah 58;12,13

Spending in the cause of Allah was laid emphasis on in 21 places and even if we were to add this to Charity and giving to poor, needy,wayfarer etc it doesn't amount to 150 in my calculation.

4) Who were the Kaathibe-Wahi (copyists of the revelations) of the Qur’an?
Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu Anhu),
Usman (Radhiallahu Anhu),
Ali (Radhiallahu Anhu),
Zaid Bin Harith (Radhiallahu Anhu) And Abdullah bin Masood(Radhiallahu Anhu)

I Think the answer here is also wrong. I haven't read any Hadith or seerah that says the people you listed above are among those commanded by the Prophet (Peace be upon him and his family) to write down the revelation. Amr bin Al 'As,Abdullah bin Zubair, Zubair bin Awwam and Said bin Thabit are people I know that the Prophet (Peace be upon him and his family) commanded to write down the revelation of the Qur'an
as read and explained to me by my teachers.

These are few Ahadith to support my claim.




Sahih Al Bukhari Book 61,Haidth 507

Narrated Anas bin Malik: (The Caliph 'Uthman ordered Zaid bin Thabit, Said bin Al-As, 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith bin Hisham to write the Quran in the form of a book (Mushafs) and said to them. "In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit (Al-Ansari) regarding any dialectic Arabic utterance of the Quran, then
write it in the dialect of Quraish, for the Quran was revealed in this dialect." So they did it.
You may say this was after the demise of the Proohet but there are evidences that Thabit was among those that do write down the revelation for the Prophet

Sahih al-Bukhari, Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh)) Book 65, Hadith 4725
Narrated 'Zaid bin Thabit Al-Ansari: who was one of those who used to write the Divine Revelation: Abu Bakr sent for me after the (heavy) casualties among the warriors (of the battle) of Yamama (where a great number of Qurra' were killed). `Umar was present with Abu Bakr who said, `Umar has come to me and said, The people have suffered heavy casualties on the day of (the battle of) Yamama, and I am afraid that there will be more casualties among the Qurra' (those who know the Qur'an by heart) at other battle-fields, whereby a large part of the Qur'an may be lost, unless you collect it.........................

Sunan Abu Dawood, Jihad (Kitab Al-Jihad) Book 15, Hadith 31
Narrated ':Zaid bin Thabit said "I was beside the Apostle of Allaah() when the divinely-inspired calmness overtook him and the thigh of the Apostle of Allaah() fell on my thigh. I did not find any weightier than the thigh of the Apostle of Allaah(). He then regained his composure and said "Write down. I wrote on a shoulder................

If you have any proof to dismantle my claims, I am ready to learn.

4)Which are the mosques that are mentioned in the Qur’an
5 mosques:
a)Masjid-ul-Haram.
b)Masjid-ul-Zirar.
c)Masjid-ul-Nabawi.
d)Masjid-ul-Aqsa.
e)Masjid Quba.

Only two mosques were mentioned by name and they were Masjid Al Aqsa and Masjid Al Haram[Surah Al Isra 17:1]. The mosque of Quba was not mentioned by name in the Quran but can only be known when reading the tafsir of the Qur'an and the verse that can referenced with it is Surah At Taubah 9:107-108. I can't even find where mosques of Nabawi and Zirar were mentioned or where references were made to them. That apart.

5)The name of which angels are mentioned in the Qur’an?
4 angels:
a)Jibraeel Ameen.Alaihis

b)Meekaeel.(Alaihis salaam)
c)Haroot.(Alaihis salaam)
d)Maroot.(Alaihis salaam).

Please the name of Malik was also mentioned in the Qur'an in Surah Az Zukhruf 43:77


I once asked a question concerning one of the answers and I am yet to get answer.

@Wizeboy and others in charge of the Quiz. Please can you explain this Hadith concerning the question regarding Uthman bin Affan
Sahih al-Bukhari, Wedlock, Marriage (Nikaah)
Book 67, Hadith 19
Narrated 'Urwa:
The Prophet (pbuh) asked Abu Bakr for `Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said " But I am your brother." The Prophet (pbuh) said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry.
Brother in what sense?

. ....

dragnet:
it's quite pathetic to see that people are listening to so called "scholars" without knowing what they're upon. Mere eloquence of speech, a few Arabic and quotes doesn't make one a scholar. Majority of the "scholars" mentioned here are of questionable doctrines and should merely pass as motivational speakers without ascribing themselves to islaam.
We should learn our religion and stop blind following...

Give us examples of those with weird doctrines mister

1)(a) 19

(b) 14


2)(a) Surah As Saff 61;6

(b)4 times as Muhammed and 1time as Ahmad


3)Musa

4)Abdullah bin Aris, Abdullah bin Zubair, Zubair bin Awwam
,Said bin Thabit, Amr bin Ashi

5)(a)
Aisha

5)(b)Umar Ibn Khattab

@Wizeboy and others in charge of the Quiz. Please can you explain this Hadith concerning the question regarding Uthman bin Affan

Sahih al-Bukhari, Wedlock, Marriage (Nikaah)
Book 67, Hadith 19
Narrated 'Urwa:
The Prophet (pbuh) asked Abu Bakr for `Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet (pbuh) said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry.

Brother in what sense?
Is it not in the sense of your question?

Another observation, concerning the question of the longest hand, physically Sauda bint Zama'a had the longest hand, you could have made the question clearer by saying 'The longest hand according to the Prophet (Peace be upon him and his family)' or put longest in inverted commas in order to know better.
Just saying.

1)Muwatta Imaam Malik

2)Code 97'3-4

3)59


4)Prophet Yusuf.



5)They are the ones killed in the way of Allah i.e. The Matryrs

Double post

1)Sauda Bint Zama'a



2)Surah 87 Al Ala'a




3)


4)Masjid Al Aqsa and Masjid Al Haram

5)Mikael,Jubril,Marut,Harut,Malik

1)False, Uthman bin Affan is a brother to the Prophet (Peace be upon him and his family) in the sense that they shared the faith of Islam and proclaim the same kalimah. Brothers or being family in the Quran deals with faith and not blood ties.Remember the story of Nuh
(Alai salam)



2) (i) There will be no Prophet after him
i.e. He is Al Aqib
(ii)Allah gave his victory by frightening his enemies.
(iii) He will be given the power of intercession on the day of judgment.
(IV)The war booty was made halal for him.
(v)Other Prophets were sent to their people or their family while Muhammed (Peace be upon him and his family) was sent to the whole of humanity.
(vi) The other Prophets were given miracles but he was a superior miracle i.e. glorious Qur'an


3)Khadijah bint Kuwaylid(May Allah be pleased with her) ;Her virtues
(i) She submitted to the Prophet(Peace be upon him) despite being richer and older than him.

(ii) She supported the Prophet (Peace be upon him and his family) during hardship with her soul and wealth.

(iii)She was first to comforted the Prophet (Peace be upon him and his family) when the revelation came to him, thereby being the first woman to accpet Islam.

4)The worships are salat, zakat, to honour the Prophet,lend Allah a good loan.
Verse to back it up.

Surah Al-Maeda 5:12
Indeed Allâh took the covenant from the Children of Israel (Jews), and We appointed twelve leaders among them. And Allâh said: "I am with you if you perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât) and give Zakât and believe in My Messengers; honour and assist them, and lend a good loan to Allâh. Verily, I will expiate your sins and admit you to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise). But if any of you after this, disbelieved, he has indeed gone astray from the Straight Path."


5)(a)Mankind is divided into two groups namely ;Believers and Disbelievers(Surah At Taghabun 64; 2)

(b)Firaun(Lanatu' llah Alaih)

1)To strengthen the heart of the Prophet (Peace be upon him)
Verses to back it up
Al-Furqan [25:32]
And those who disbelieve say: "Why is not the Qur'ân revealed to him all at once?" Thus (it is sent down in parts), that We may strengthen your heart thereby. And We have revealed it to you gradually, in stages

Al-Isra [17:106]
And (it is) a Qur'ân which We have divided (into parts), in order that you might recite it to men at intervals. And We have revealed it by stages

2)The Qur'an is different from other books because the Quran is a full explanation of other revealed books and it is a criterion to justify the truth and falsify the lies therein.

Surah Al-Maeda 5:48

3)Qur'an according to sharia is a book that must be recited and followed in all every aspect.

4)Nashk and Manshookh means the Knowledge Of commandments that have subsequently been abrogated or changed. For example concerning alcohol, it was partially allowed in Al-Baqara 2:219 before being forbidden in Surah Al-Maeda 5:90 O you who believe! intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, and Al-Ansâb, and Al¬Azlâm (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaitân's (Satan) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful.



5) An-Nahl [16:68]
And your Lord inspired the bees , saying: "Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect.

^^ truthman2012 recycled the first thread above here https://www.nairaland.com/2314493/why-muslims-not-afraid-death and alhadulillah, his lies were bursted again.

The old man is fond of recycling his trash. I have lost count on how many times he has recycled the thread on 'Abraham not building the kaba'ah'. Well that's his headache, he will always be busted .

6) Playing Video Games
People do waste time in Ramadan by playing video games like Pes, FIFA etc. Don't get me wrong, scholars say video games are not haram if it doesn't waste your time and prevent you from your ibadaah. But in Ramadan it should be limited or even stopped

May Allah assits us.

1)Umm Salamah

2) "Except those on the Right, (i.e. the pious true believers of Islâmic Monotheism);
In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another,
About Al-Mujrimûn (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers), (And they will say to them):
What has caused you to enter Hell?"
They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer the Salât (prayers)
Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);
And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allâh hated) with vain talkers
And we used to belie the Day of Recompense
"Until there came to us (the death) that is certain." Surah Al Mudhathir 74; 39- 47
