Empiree:
I was going to ask what type of gathering it is Mr. Newnas?. You have condemned several gatherings by people you deem "Al-bida'a". So what's the title of their gathering, please?

@ lobaloba88, you people really need to slow down. Do you actually think everyone gets time to pick up the Quran or study figh to learn no matter how you encourage them?. Including you actually. Lots of people learn by listening to shuyuk, Uztaz, Mualim etc. Gathering for remembrance of Allah or lectures to benefit muslims is never mukruh nor haram. There are plenty ahadith in support of this. You only condemn those who might step off the line.

Stop sniffing around for "innovation". It is not healthy.

It's you that actually needs to slow down and stop contradicting the Sunnah.

The gathering I was referring to is the gathering of knowledge not gathering of innovations.
Innovations and innovators are cursed on the tongue of Allah's messenger alyhissolaat wassalaam.

No one is sniffing around for innovations and innovators, it's not hidden. From The Sunday asalatu to the innovated gatherings of laylatul Qadri and isra wa miraj to the maolud nabiyy etc The people who practice these innovations do not hide them, so no one is sniffing around.
It's just that the truth has to be clarified to the people even if the people of innovation and desire do not love it!

too much crap... I don't where to start explaining matters.

Today's Beautiful Hadith is about Fajr
 
Narrated Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with Her and Her father) : When the Mu'adh-dhin pronounced the Adhan for Fajr prayer and the dawn became evident the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered a two rak`at light prayer (Sunna) before the Iqama of the compulsory (congregational) prayer. (Bukhari - Vol. 1, Book 11, Hadith 592)

So the sunnah for the two rakats before the fajr Solah is to make them light and not long.

Allah knows best.

SuPeRq:
Asalam Alaykum Warahmatullah Wabaraqatuhu
what of Quadrah from Abdul Quadri??

Qudrah is not good enough, though I wouldn't call it a bad name.

Qudrah means might/ability. And a person can only be mighty he/she can't be might.

It would have been acceptable to name her Qaadirah (note the elongation of the a).

even better than that is if she was named Amatul-Qadir this is the feminine equivalent of Abdul-Qodir.

Allah knows best.

Adek15:
thanks for that. Another thing is like after jumat prayer, some persons stand to do nafilah and say I'm trying to go out. It'll be almost impossible not to pass in front of someone praying. So can I pass in that instance?

No you shouldn't.
It is not permissible for anyone to walk in front of a person who is praying unless that is behind his sutrah (object used as a screen), or he walks far away from him, beyond the place where he is prostrating – in the event that he has not set up a sutrah – because of the report narrated by al-Bukhaari(510) and Muslim (507) which says that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If the one who passes in front of one who is praying knew what (sin) he incurs, he would realize that waiting for forty is better than passing in front of him.” Abu’l-Nadr said: I do not know whether he said forty days, or months, or years.

So what do you say about the above verses.

eitsei:
I didn't and I'm sure of what I'm saying

Sheikh jamzuriyy in his tuhfah said:
إلا إذا كان بكلمة فلا
تدغم كدنيا ثم صنوان تلا
Except if it is in a word, then dont
do idgam like (ie example) dunya or sinwan. Read

So revise the poem of Sheikh Jamzuriyy and the explanations of the poem. You'll find it there. in shaa Allah

hahn:
The Quran is Allah's word. Is it not?

Don't beg the question?
Do you want to leave the sunnah of Allah's messenger alyhissolaat wassalaam?

eitsei:
I understand you.. But there are some words that don't go with rules of tajweed, e.g دنيا،صنوان..

Haa, you missed it.

The one you mentioned here is idgam and idgam is not done between letters of a single word.
Maybe you should revise the books of tajweed again.

"In the Quran"

Do you want to take the Quran and leave the sunnah?

Farmerforlife:
Assalam alaykum sis, how have u been?

What you say there is true, but if a man has not had previous experience, psychologically, it is better if he marries a woman with no previous experience. For a man to forget his wife's sexual history is difficult, especially if he himself has no such past. He will always think "is she comparing me to them? Am I better or worse? " Many Muslim men have explained that this is the reason that they cannot even marry a previously married woman. When the woman's previous experience(s) is/are as a result of zina, you can add trust issues to that insecurity... "if she could do it before, she can do it again", and the popular belief that a woman never forgets her first experience. It is enough to wreck many marriages, unless the man is self-assured enough to ignore it. I personally will not advice most Muslim men to marry a woman with a past, for their own peace of mind.

There's some truth in your post but it would be better for you not to generalise.

koma1:
Undoubtedly saying the basmalah out loud in al-Faatihah in the prayer is permissible; it is not a bid‘ah (innovation) or haraam. But most of the time in his prayer, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did not pronounce it out loud; rather he recited it quietly.

It was narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), and Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) began the prayer with the words “Al-hamdu Lillahi Rabbi l-‘Aalameen (Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds).”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (743)

According to a report narrated by Ahmad (12868), “They did not recite out loud the words ‘Bismillah ir-Rahmaan ir-Raheem (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful).’”

This is the view of the Hanafis and Hanbalis. The Shaafa‘is differed from them and said that it is Sunnah to recite it out loud, even though the proven Sunnah is not to recite the basmalah out loud. But there is nothing wrong with reciting it out loud, especially if their madhhab is that it is to be recited out loud, so as to soften their hearts.

You have already told us what is established, leave every other statement and the one who said it once the Prophet alyhissolaat wassalaam has given a decree.

musulumi:
Salam OP, there are few things we should treat like:

When the Holy Prophet performed Fajr prayers.... Ifsar or Galas ?

The asalat kairan Mina Nahum....is it during the first Athan or the second ?

Etc so we know the type of mosque and imam we pray with...

Jazakumullah kairan !

Haa baba tough questions oo, Allahulmusta'aan.

The second question, the scholars differed in it but what is clearer to me is the opinion of Imam Albany that it's in the first adhan.

The first question, the time for fajr starts from the appearance of the true fajr i.e the second fajr till the rising of the sun. And it is recommended to be hastened once the appearance of the fajr is sure. (mulakhas fiqhiyy page 55).

As for galas and sufr. I don't know how it affects the time of fajr.

Adek15:
thanks op for this info. On the crossing point. If it's a congregational prayer, is it permissible to pass in front of the people praying but not the imam?

Yes it is permissible to walk between the rows but not in front of the Imam. The evidence for that is the hadith of Ibn Abbass which he said he walked past some rows of Solah while the Messenger alyhissolaat wassalaam was leading Solah in Mina and nobody detested that. (Bukharee;hadith nos 76 & 493 & 871 etc, Muslim; hadith no 504) see also umdatul ahkaam; hadith no 110)

Allah knows best.

ademoladeji:
OP, Is it wrong saying BismiLlah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem preceding all verses including Al_Fathia during Solat?

You should only it in the first rakah before fatiha. And not repeat it before the other verses or in the subsequent rakats.

Allah knows best.

Damstarr:
nice write up Op

Actually, I didn't write it, I only shared it. Most of my posts are shared except that they are carefully and wisely selected.

Jarus:
My name na number one on your list. Lol.

Meanwhile, I see no big deal in the corruption of the names. Yoruba corrupts anything, not just Muslim names.Try as much as possible to correct people that mispronounce your name, but no need to fight or quarrel with anyone over it.

After all, some people prefer the corrupted version. I had a lecturer in the university who told Muslim brothers not to call him Dhikrullah, that he is Sikiru. And he is a Muslim.

@underlined... true talk. Baarakallaahu feek.

It's because of his ignorance.

hahn:
List some "bad names" and explain why you think they are bad or point out where in the Quran that name is regarded as bad

Please see tasmiyatul maolud by Sheikh Bakr Abu Zayd

ybalogs:
There are names that don't take Abdul and some that does. This is mostly confusing. We all know all the 99 names of Allah must come with an 'Abdul' before them but of of the names that shows the attributes of Allah but not in the 99 names?

please mention an example of such names

Comanche:
Jazhakaalahu khaeran op.I had always thought suliyat and zulhaikho were different names. People are also fond of adding the suffix 'u' to feminine names i.e aminatu,idayatu.I cant forget the look on my brother's face whenever he is reffered to as 'sule'.

Aameen wa iyyaak.
AlhamduliLlah for the clarification of the names.

The adding of u to the names is because the u is actually there but the Arabs don't pronounce the last vowel of the word. So they simply say Aminah.
But natural Yoruba speakers will find it hard to pronounce a cluster of consonants or to to end a word without a vowel sound. So, they pronounce the last vowel.

The best solution to this is to ensure that we see proper Islamic education and also make sure our children don't suffer the ignorance we have suffered.

Allah knows best.

eitsei:
I Even the OP sef mispelt my name is Hanbali not Hambal.... Hanbali حنبلي.... There is ن and not م after the first letter

Its a great fortune that Allah blessed you with parents that were foresighted and wise enough to know the importance of Islamic knowledge especially for a female child. You owe them a lot, I ask Allah to make it easy for you to be grateful for this mercy.

As for your name, it wasn't mispelt. in Arabic language when nuun that has sukuun preceedes the letter ba, the nuun is to be pronounced as meem not nuun anymore. This is what the scholars of tajweed call iqlaab or qalb (transformation or change).

If you pick up your Quran and check the following verse :

Surah Ash-Shams, Verse 12:
إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا

When the most wicked man among them went forth (to kill the she-camel).
(English - Mohsin Khan)

via iQuran

You will find a small written above the letter nuun showing that you should do qalb.

Allah knows best.

WASMOG:
Alhamdulilah pls as a yoruba guy my ppl call me wasiu is it right or wrong coz even according to the Arabic spelling there is "waw" 9 at the end and some muslim don't pronounced the last word it Arabic




so after removing the last alphabet the name turns to was'i which is correct and which one is wrong

Yes, in Arabic language, the last vowel is not pronounced. So, the proper way to pronounce it is AbdulWaasi' with omission of the u at the end.

In fact saying AbdulWasiu is not grammatical correct because the vowel that ends the name is the kasra (i) sound not the dammah (u) sound because of the grammatical construction which the name is from.

Allah knows best.

Aqeedatu awwalan law kānuu ya'lamuun! "Creed first if they have known!" A lot of people often commence the acquisition of Islamic knowledge with subjects like fiqh (worship-jurispudence), nahw&sarf (grammar&syntax) etc, while creed is taken last or neglected and this make them fall into many errors. Mistake(s) could render one an innovator or even an apostate. Allãhs refuge is sought! Start learning the right aqeedah today! May Allãh bless you all.

ShiaMuslim:
Subhanallah!

may Allah guide you and give you the courage to open your mind and see the truth of Islam of Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, the messenger of Allah, and his purified Ahlul-Bayt (as), and not the so called "islam" of Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahab (la), the horn of shaitan of Najd, and that of the terrorist Ibn Taymiyyah and his Umayyad predecessors.

so when a human testifies to LA ILA IL-LAL-LAH, MUHAMMAD RASUL-LUL-LAH, that in your misguidance and Wahhabi Takfiri extremism is not enough to make that person a Muslim. he must believe exactly as you do?

did not the holy Prophet (s) state that anyone who testifies with his tongue and believe in his heart in LA ILA IL-LAL-LAH, MUHAMMAD RASUL-LUL-LAH is a Muslim?

did he also not state that if a Muslim calls another Muslim who testifies in LA ILA IL-LAL-LAH, MUHAMMAD RASUL-LUL-LAH a kafir then the former is the one who is a kafir?

i honestly do not know at this point if i should continue to beseech Allah to guide you out of your disease of Wahhabi Takfiri fanaticism and extremism or if i should simply send Allah's curse on you and your likes. there is nothing to be proud of sharing the same religion with you and your likes. in the name of Takfirism you kill the innocent women and children the world over. you have defamed Islam. no one likes to be your co-religionist. it is a bitter pill indeed. Allah is the best of judges!

Why are you both feeling insecure about the OP? The reason is simple: You definitely know you are innovators!!!

Surah Al-Qiyama, Verse 14-15:
بَلِ الْإِنسَانُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ

Nay! man is evidence against himself,


وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُ

Though he puts forth his excuses.
(English - Shakir)

via iQuran

As for your curses and insults, I'm not surprised, I don't expect any good from the one who insults Abu Bakr, Umar, the wives of the Prophet alyhissolaat wassalaam etc.
So, I beseech Allah to give you all whatever reward you deserve for your foul and slanderous accusations of the pious slaves of Allah.

Lastly, your claim that whoever says the shahaadah is not to be called kafir. Yes this is true if he hasn't done what nullifies his shahaadah.
Anyone who spends just a little of his time with the books of fiqh - written by past and present scholars- will see that they usually have a chapter to discuss matters of apostasy and the rulings of apostates.
So, the shahaadah has nullifiers and one of such is seeking refuge or assistance with the dead or grave-worship which is one of the major rites of shia visit to karbala.

Part of those nullifiers is; making jest of any of the signs of Allah such as His religion, His Messenger alyhissolaat wassalaam, His commandments, His reward, His punishment, the mosque, the hijab, the beards etc.

Surah At-Taubah, Verse 65-66:
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُ قُلْ أَبِاللَّهِ وَآيَاتِهِ وَرَسُولِهِ كُنتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

If you ask them (about this), they declare: "We were only talking idly and joking." Say: "Was it at Allah, and His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger (SAW) that you were mocking?"

لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا قَدْ كَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ إِن نَّعْفُ عَن طَائِفَةٍ مِّنكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَائِفَةً بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ

Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you because they were Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.).
(English - Mohsin Khan)

via iQuran

So, stop pouring emotions that are void of wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

Talking about tekfeeris: Shia are the worst of all deviant sects in that. Which other tekfeer, misguidance and deviation could be greater than letting your hideous tongue loose at the two closest companions of Allah's messenger alyhissolaat wassalaam.
