Why are you so fond of abusing our spouses here? what has Osisi's husband done to you? what did my wife did that you have been abusing her here? dont you have manners? or did you grow up on the streets?,,,,,,,,,,learn to respect people who are older than you, it is a good virtue.
You of all people Nezan saying someone should "have manners"? Wonder.

That reminds me when I was peacefully suggesting that we should get more civil matured and sensible when discussing. You simply went on with even gusto ridiculing me and my religion. . .and you. Didn't you know it feels that bitter?

Ain't saying, in any way, Abuzola's actions are ethical. But as he (Abuzola) succinctly made it clear to you (above): respect begets respect; thus respect a person so that he respects you.

May Allah, the Exalted, guide us all.

Muslims are obligated by Islam to lie and deceive non Muslims.
That is their Islamic duty.
They cannot be trusted.
Anyone trusting them doesn't know what they believe in.
They can lie in some instances and are not in the wrong according to their religion.
Thats why nations signing treaties with them are just wasting their time.
They can say yes when they really mean know then when your guards are down.they strike you unexpectedly.

The Prophet Muhammad, may Allah exalt his mention, said: "When you see it (the new month of Ramadhan) observe fasting, and when you see the new moon of the next month, stop fasting. If cloud, haze or the like, obsecures the new moon of Ramadhan then complete Sha'aban as 30 days. (Ibid).

Considering this authentic hadeeth and many more others, there is nothing new in what happened yesterday as the Sultan announced that the commencement of this year's Ramadhan is tomorrow--Saturday.

May Allah answer our prayers in the month and forgive our sins, amin.

Narrated Anas bin Malik (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):

Once the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) entered the Mosque and saw
a rope hanging in between its two pillars. He said, "What is this rope?"
The people said, "This rope is for Zainab who, when she feels tired, holds
it (to keep standing for the prayer.)" The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) said, "Don't use it. Remove the rope. You should pray as long as
you feel active, and when you get tired, sit down."

Re-read all the replies I have made here and there, Nezan.

Calling names, using derogatory or blasphemous words, defaming or denting, ridiculing, etc you and your religion is what I have never done, for I know I hold truth; get an armory of irrefutable facts; etc. I humbly enough know I did that then--and its mostly a counter reply to someone. I could recall I once had this drama with you, I think our first "meet-up", right?

But you diagrammatically and your allies know nothing better than doing those things I have listed above. Thus, think objectively on how and why things are in that way? Isn't that contrary to both our religions? Who's being rationale or otherwise?

Thanks
IslamRe: Hadeeth Of The Day by muhsin(op): 3:08pm On Aug 19, 2009
The whole drama began when I posted this Hadeeth (#99):

The prophet peace be upon him said: "A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown in the (Hell) Fire, so that his intestines will come out, and he will go around like a donkey goes around a millstone. The people of (Hell) Fire will gather around him and say: O so-and-so! What is wrong with you? Didn't you use to order us to do good deeds and forbid us to do bad deeds? He will reply: Yes, I used to order you to do good deeds, but I did not do them myself, and I used to forbid you to do bad deeds, yet I used to do them myself."

Bukhari, hadith #489

Then you made this put (#100):

"This is an interesting one.

Do u think that the character in this haddith can be mohammed?"


I responded (#101):

NO.

Your response (#102):

Why not?

Mine:

Because you don't know him.

You:

"according to his deeds in the haddith and koran. . . . can he be the person described in the haddith u posted?"


Mine:

You don't read what other posters have written, noetic2. If not you would not have been reiterating this question. How? The very answer of it is there in this thread--OP. Here I quote:

And the Almighty Allah says regarding the Prophet Muhammad's words, actions, approval or attributes, "Your Companion (the Prophet of Islam) errs not nor does he deviate. Nor does he speak out of desire. It is nought but revelation that is revealed. One Mighty in Power has taught him." (Qur'an 53:2-5)

You see? ALL his actions were guided by Allah, the Exalted. Thus how is he supposed to be punished by Him after what He wants was what he did? Simple.

Moreover, you once asked; has Allah ever mentioned that He forgave the Prophet. Here is the answer I gave you:

Allah (S.W.T) says unto the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): "That Allah may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow; fulfill His favour to thee; and guide thee on the Straight Way" (Fath 48:2)

"Allah turned with favour to the prophet, the Muhajiri (people who migrated with him from Mekka to Medina); And the Ansar (Medinan people, who gave him shelter, protection, etc),--who followed in a time of distress, (9:117)

There are more verses where that is mentioned.

Again, some verses even reported that whoever follow his example (deeds, sayings, orders, etc), Paradise is granted for him. For example Chapter 9 verse 10, etc.

May Allah, the Most Exalted, guide us, ameen.

You:

"are u saying that the character described in that haddith is not forgiven? why was he not forgiven? and no one has been able to tell me why EXACTLY allah chose to forgive the past and future sins of mohammed, considering that allah has never forgiven anyone?

I dont want to derail this haddith. but thou has not answered my question.
if we analyse the deeds of mohammed as written in the haddiths dont u think that mohammed fits the character described in ur haddith?"


Mine:

@Noetic2,

Did you ever read between the lines of a rely? I doubt, really doubt. If not lets see something here:

What's your question?
-You asked if prophet Muhammad, may Allah exalt his mention, is that character of that hadeeth. I fully answered that and gave you verses where that is mentioned.
-You all of a sudden changed and created anew question, which is quite irrelevant here. And Allah so kind, the answer of your second questions are right inside my first intake. Read here:

"Allah turned with favour to the prophet, the Muhajiri (people who migrated with him from Mekka to Medina); And the Ansar (Medinan people, who gave him shelter, protection, etc),--who followed in a time of distress, (9:117)

Are these people not forgiven by Allah, the Most Exalted, eh?

Thanks

Mine again:

Lets retake it;

If you really believe with the mention of that Hadeeth character and its possible happening on the day of resurrection, then why don't you believe with the mention of Allah, the Exalted, regarding His prophet's ENTIRE life?

To shade a bit more light; Qur'an is more authentic that any Hadeeth. Take note, am not saying every single hadeeth is not authentic but the authenticity of Qur'an verses is higher. Hope my point is clear.

Hence, the Almighty Allah says:  "Your Companion (the Prophet of Islam) errs not nor does he deviate. Nor does he speak out of desire. It is nought but revelation that is revealed. One Mighty in Power has taught him." (Qur'an 53:2-5)

Therefore, considering that verse and many others, we can unanimously, rationally, intelligently and reasonably CONCLUDE that he is NOT because he CANNOT be that character.

Thanks

You:

this is not as hard as u are suggesting. neither does this have anything to do with allah's personality.

ur statement in bold is FALSE and INCONCLUSIVE. let us list the actions and inactions of mohammed and then see if he cannot be that character.
so u list mohammed's deeds and let analyse.

Mine:

As my Creator, your Creator, says; Muhammad, may Allah exalt his mention, ". . .errs not nor does he deviate. . .(53:2)
Hence, talking about the list; he's a perfect man.

You:

"what list? u have not listed his deeds, have u?"


Mine:

Thats the reason d'etre of this OP. Go back and read the ones available so far. Others are coming, inshaAllah.

You:

"are u being honest here?"


Mine:

Very much. Go and re-read what is the meaning of "HADEETH" I gave, i.e. #01, on this page. Thanks

You:

"I just did. It does not state the exact deeds of mohammed, it only gives a list of commandments. what are the deeds of mohammed?"


Mine:

You didn't. Why is it hard for you to tell truth? No offense intended. Smiley

Reason: had it been you did you would not have said what you say, for even the hadeeth above your post talks about the Prophet's deed.

Thanks

You:

why do u have a problem listing them?

just state that oh mohammed gave to the poor, helped the weak . .  . . ,  ,  . . . . .

just list them for analysis sake and to educate non-muslims.


Mine:

Let me repeat what I told you the other time:

Thats the reason d'etre of this OP. Go back and read the ones available so far. Others are coming, inshaAllah.

Why did I say that?

Hadeeth simply means his deeds and much more. And there are thousands of them. But God's willing as time goes I (or any other Muslim member) will continue listing them, i.e. writing the hadeeth.

May Allah guide us all.

NB:
This is my last post for the day. Don't think otherwise if you see me gone. InshaAllah next time--probably Monday. Until then. . . Ciao!

You:

are u educated at all? why do u have a problem listing the deeds of mohammed?
just list his deeds so that we can analyse the haddith u posted. is there a problem? what are u afraid of?


Then[i] littleb[/i] posted this hadeeth:

Hadhrat Aa-ishah (Radhiyallaho anha) says:
"Once the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) entered the house and I guessed from his face that something of great
importance had happened to him. He did not talk to anyone, and after making wudhu (ablution) he entered the
mosque. I stood behind the wall to hear what he said. He sat at the pulpit and after praising'Allah, he said, "0 Muslims!
Allah has commanded you to call people to good deeds, and prevent them from committing sins; otherwise a
time will come when you will pray to Him, but He will not listen to you; you will ask your needs of Him, but He will
not grant them; you will demand His help against your enemies, but He will not help you."

You asked:

is killing non-muslims a good deed?

I then came back and asked you these two questions that you never ever responded to but ran away:

1-If you're asked this question; is Muhsin ever educated? What would be your answer please. Be frank. Thanks Cheesy

2-Is this mentioned in the (littleb's) hadeeth?

Instead you irrelevantly asked:

when are going to get to the haddith that discusses apostates and killings. , . and the ones that address sharia law.

is this thread an islamic propaganda?


This is one instance out of many.

Where are you?
IslamRe: Hadeeth Of The Day by muhsin(op): 2:27pm On Aug 19, 2009

Let me give you more synonyms: rambling, quacking, screeding, etc

But the truth remains. . .
IslamRe: Basic Islamic Terms by muhsin(op): 2:18pm On Aug 19, 2009
Again:

A

AL-HAMDU LILLAHI RABBIL 'ALAMIN
This is a verse from the Qur'an that Muslims recite and say many times per day. Other than being recited daily during prayers, a Muslim reads this expression in every activity of his daily life. The meaning of it is: "Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds."

A Muslim invokes the praises of Allah before he does his daily work; and when he finishes, he thanks Allah for His favors. A Muslim is grateful to Allah for all His blessings. It is a statement of thanks, appreciation, and gratitude from the creature to his Creator.

ALLAHU AKBAR
This statement is said by Muslims numerous times. During the call for prayer, during prayer, when they are happy, and wish to express their approval of what they hear, when they slaughter an animal, and when they want to praise a speaker, Muslims do say this expression of Allahu Akbar. Actually it is most said expression in the world. It’s meaning: "Allah is the Greatest." Muslims praise Allah in every aspect of life; and as such they say Allahu Akbar.

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM
This is an expression Muslims say whenever they meet one another. It is a statement of greeting with peace. The meaning of it is: "Peace be upon you."

Muslims try to establish peace on earth even through the friendly relation of greeting and meeting one another.

The other forms are: "Assalamu 'Alalikum Wa Rahmatullah," which means:"May the peace and the Mercy of Allah be upon you," and "Assalamu Alalikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh," which means:"May the peace, the mercy, and the blessings of Allah be upon you."

ASTAGHFIRULLAH
This is an expression used by a Muslim when he wants to ask Allah forgiveness. The meaning of it is: "I ask Allah forgiveness." A Muslim says this phrase many times, even when he is talking to another person. When a Muslim abstains from doing wrong, or even when he wants to prove that he is innocent of an incident he uses this expression. After every Salah (payer), a Muslim says this statement three times.

A'UZU BILLAHI MINASHAITANIR RAJIM
This is an expression and a statement that Muslims have to recite before reading to Qur'an, before speaking, before doing any work, before making a supplication, before taking ablution, before entering the wash room, and before doing many other daily activities. The meaning of this phrase is: "I seek refuge from Allah from the outcast Satan." Allah is the Arabic name of God.

Satan is the source of evil and he always tries to misguide and mislead people. The Qur'an states that Satan is not an angel but a member of the Jinn, which are spiritual beings created by Allah. So the belief that Satan is a fallen angel is rejected in Islam.

B

BARAKALLAH
This is an expression, which means: "May the blessings of Allah (be upon you)." When a Muslim wants to thank to another person, he uses different statements to express his thanks, appreciation, and gratitude. One of them is to say "Baraka Allah."
BISMILLAHIR RAHMANIR RAHIM
This is a phrase from the Qur'an that is recited before reading the Qur'an. It is to be read immediately after one reads the phrase: "A'uzu Billahi Minashaitanir Rajim."

This phrase is also recited before doing any daily activity. The meaning of it is: "In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful."

I


IN SHA' ALLAH
When a person wishes to plan for the future, when he promises, when he makes resolutions, and when he makes a pledge, he makes them with permission and the will of Allah. For this reason, a Muslim uses the Qur'anic instructions by saying "In Sha ' Allah." The meaning of this statement is: "If Allah wills." Muslims are to strive hard and to put their trusts with Allah. They leave the results in the hands of Allah.

INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAHI RAJI'UN
When a Muslim is struck with a calamity, when he loses one of his loved ones, or when he has gone bankrupt, he should be patient and say this statement, the meaning of which is: "We are from Allah and to whom we are returning."

Muslims believe that Allah is the One who gives and it is He takes away. He is testing us. Hence, a Muslim submits himself to Allah. He is grateful and thankful to Allah for whatever he gets. On the other hand, he is patient and says this expression in times of turmoil and calamity.

J

JAZAKALLAHU KHAYRAN
This is a statement of thanks and appreciation to be said to the person who does a favor. Instead of saying "thanks" (Shukran), the Islamic statement of thanks is to say this phrase. It’s meaning is: " May Allah reward you for the good."

It is understood that human beings can't repay one another enough. Hence, it is better to request Almighty Allah to reward the person who did a favor and to give him the best.

K


KALAM
Talk or speech as in "kalamu Allah"; has also been used through the ages to mean logic or philosophy.

L


LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH
The meaning of this expression is: " There is no power and no strength save in Allah." This expression is read by a Muslim when he is struck by a calamity, or is taken over by a situation beyond his control. A Muslim puts his trust in the hands of Allah, and submits himself to Allah.

LA ILAHA ILLALLAH
This expression is the most important one in Islam. It is the creed that every person has to say to be considered a Muslim. It is part of the first pillar of Islam. The meaning of which is: " There is no lord worthy of worship except Allah."

The second part of this first pillar is to say: "Mohammedan Rasul Allah," which means:"Muhammad is the messenger of Allah."

M


MA SHA' ALLAH
This is an expression that Muslims say whenever they are excited and surprised. When they wish to express their happiness, they use such an expression. The meaning of "Ma sha' Allah" is: "Whatever Allah wants." or "Whatever Allah wants to give, He gives." This means that whenever Allah gives something good to someone, blesses him, honors him, and opens the door of success in business, a Muslim says this statement of "Ma Sha' Allah."

It has become a tradition that whenever a person constructs a building, a house, or an office, he puts a plaque on the wall or the entrance with this statement. It is a sign of thanks and appreciation from the person to Almighty Allah for whatever he was blessed with.

MUHAMMADUN RASULULLAH
This statement is the second part of the first pillar of Islam. The meaning of this part is that Prophet Muhammad is the last and final prophet and messenger of Allah to mankind. He is the culmination, summation, purification of the previous prophets of Allah to humanity.

P


P.B.U.H.
These letters are abbreviations for the words Peace Be Upon Him which are the meaning of the Arabic expression " 'Alaihis Salam", which is an expression that is said when the name of a prophet is mentioned.

This expression is widely used by English speaking Muslims. It is to be noticed here that this expression does not give the full meaning of "Salla Allahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam". Therefore it is recommended that people do not use (p.b.u.h.) after the name of prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.); they should use "Salla Allahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam" instead, or they may use the abbreviated form of (s.a.w) in writing.

R

RADHIALLAHU 'ANHU
This is an expression to be used by Muslims whenever a name of a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) is mentioned or used in writing. The meaning of this statement is: "May Allah be pleased with him."

Muslims are taught to be respectful to the elderly and to those who contributed to the spread and success in Islam. They are to be grateful to the companions of the prophet (s.a.w.) for their sacrifices, their leadership, and their contributions. Muslims are advised to use this phrase when such names are mentioned or written.

S


SADAQALLAHUL 'AZIM
This is a statement of truth that a Muslim says after reading any amount of verses from the Qur'an. The meaning of it is: "Allah says the truth."

The Qur'an is the exact words of Allah in verbatim. When Allah speaks, He says the truth; and when the Qur'an is being recited, a Muslim is reciting the words of truth of Allah. Hence, he says: "Sadaqallahul 'Azim."

SALLALLAHU 'ALAIHI WA SALLAM
When the name of Prophet Muhammad (saw) is mentioned or written, a Muslim is to respect him and invoke this statement of peace upon him. The meaning of it is: "May the blessings and the peace of Allah be upon him (Muhammad).

Another expression that is alternatively used is: "Alaihissalatu Wassalam." This expression means: "On Him (Muhammad) are the blessings and the peace of Allah."

Allah has ordered Muslims, in the Qur'an, to say such an expression. Muslims are informed that if they proclaim such a statement once, Allah will reward them ten times.

S.A.W. These letters are abbreviations for the words "Salla Allahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam".

SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA
This is an expression that Muslims use whenever the name of Allah is pronounced or written. The meaning of this expression is: "Allah is pure of having partners and He is exalted from having a son."

Muslims believe that Allah is the only God, the Creator of the Universe. He does not have partners or children. Sometimes Muslims use other expressions when the name of Allah is written or pronounced. Some of which are: "'Azza Wa Jall": He is the Mighty and the Majestic; "Jalla Jalaluh": He is the exalted Majestic.

S.W.T. These letters are abbreviations for the words of "Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala".

W


WA 'ALAIKUM ASSALAM
This is an expression that a Muslim is to say as an answer for the greeting. When a person greets another with a salutation of peace, the answer for the greeting is an answer of peace. The meaning of this statement is: "And upon you is the peace." The other expressions are: " Wa Alaikums Salam Wa Rahmatullah." and "Wa 'Alaikums Salam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh."
