Some Responses Rashduct4luv:The sending of prophet Muhammad, saw, to mankind is the biggest among the signs of Allahu ta'ala and there is no harm honoring the day on which this occurred as established in the holy Qur'an 22:32 "And whoever honors the symbols of Allah - indeed, it is from the piety of hearts" Rashduct4luv:If this is to discourage reciting the Qur'an in congregation, then you are wrong as this is expressly permitted. It has been authentically reported from Abu Huraira and Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with them)that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'There is no group of people who make remembrance of Allah save that the angels surround them, mercy envelopes them, tranquility descends upon them and Allah mentions them to those in His presence' [At-Tirmidhi declared this a good and sound hadith]. Abu Huraira related that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'No people gather in a house from the houses of Allah (the mosques), reciting the Qur`an and studying it amongst themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy envelopes them, the angels surround them and Allah mentions them to those in His presence' [recorded by Muslim and Abu Dawud with an authentic ascription according to the criteria laid down by Bukhari and Muslim]. Rashduct4luv:”Umar Bin Khattab (radiyallaahu anhu) reports: When Rasulullah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) would to raise his hands in du’a, he would not lower them until he passed them over his face” (Sunan Al-Tirmizhi, #3386) Rashduct4luv:It has been authentically reported from Abu Huraira and Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with them)that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'There is no group of people who make remembrance of Allah save that the angels surround them, mercy envelopes them, tranquility descends upon them and Allah mentions them to those in His presence' [At-Tirmidhi declared this a good and sound hadith]. It is an open cheque. Rashduct4luv:Ibn Buraida narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “I used to forbid you from visiting graves. Now, do visit them…” (Sahih Muslim, no. 977) Sayyida A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) narrates that “Whenever it was her turn to spend the night with the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace), he used to go to the Baqi (graveyard) in the last portion of the night and say: “May you be safe, O abode of the believing people. What you have been promised has come to you. You are tarried till tomorrow and certainly we shall follow you if Allah wills. O Allah, forgive the inmates of the Baqi-al-Gharqad.” (Sahih Muslim, no. 974) Rashduct4luv:Holy Quran 7 205: And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless(205). Indeed, those who are near your Lord are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and to Him they prostrate.(206) Holy Quran 6 91 Say, "Allah" and leave them in their headlessness. The prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, frequented the cave Hira for halwa and meditation and then the entire Islam was granted him. Rashduct4luv:It was narrated from Samurah ibn Jundub (may Allaah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every child is in pledge for his ‘Aqeeqah, which should be slaughtered on his behalf on the seventh day, and he should be shaved and given a name.” Recorded by Abu Dawood. Buraydah narrated that the Prophet () said, “The Aqeeqah is to be slaughtered on the 7th or the 14th or the 21st.”Recorded by Bayhaqi. The name can be given immediately though. It is also reported in a hadith that the Prophet (SAW) said (at the time of the birth of his son Ibraheem), ‘last night a son was born to me, and I have named him Ibraheem after my grandfather, Ibraheem (AS)’. (Muslim). Therefore, since other rites are performed on the seventh, people tend to generally wait till the seventh day to give the name as well which is also supported by the hadith, just to mention. |

Rashduct4luv:Your selection are random and mixed. Poster above me did some sorting. Your selection is mechanical. You prolly copied it too. I am just gonna comment on #4. I happened to just came across lecture by Sheik who passed away recently, Sheikh Ahmed Alaye talked about it. Gave background info on it and called it shirk and should be avoided |

shawl:. . . . 1. Celebrating birthdays! misquoted verse Where is birthday here? . shawl:. . . 2. Misunderstanding and misinterpreting Hadith text[/b]Where is reading Qur'an in congregation mentioned here? shawl: [b]Performing Sacrifice for reciting Qur'an in Congregation! The word sacrifice does not appear in the hadiths, and they were not reciting Qur'an in congregation, neither teaching one another nor studying it. It has been authentically reported from Abu Huraira and Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with them)that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'There is no group of people who make remembrance of Allah save that the angels surround them, mercy envelopes them, tranquility descends upon them and Allah mentions them to those in His presence' [At-Tirmidhi declared this a good and sound hadith]. Abu Huraira related that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'No people gather in a house from the houses of Allah (the mosques), reciting the Qur`an and studying it amongst themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy envelopes them, the angels surround them and Allah mentions them to those in His presence' [recorded by Muslim and Abu Dawud with an authentic ascription according to the criteria laid down by Bukhari and Muslim]. shawl:This hadith is Da'eef. . Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about the ruling on wiping the face with the hands after making du’aa’. He replied: Wiping the face with the hands after making du’aa’ is more likely to be not prescribed in Islam, because the ahaadeeth that have been narrated concerning that are da’eef (weak). Shaykh al-Islam (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: They cannot be used as evidence. If we are not certain or we think it most likely that this is not prescribed, then it is better not to do it, because Islamic rulings cannot be proven on the basis of mere conjecture, unless we believe it to be mostly likely to be the case. What I think about wiping the face with the hands after du’aa’ is that it is not Sunnah. As is well known, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed for rain during his Friday khutbah and raised his hands, but it is not narrated that he wiped his face with them. Similarly in a number of ahaadeeth it says that the Prophet raised his hands, but there is no proof that he wiped his face. End quote. Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 14/question no. 781 And Allaah knows best. shawl:Sending blessings on the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa salam does not require meeting at a particular day of the week. The above hadith you quoted never limit the gathering to a particular day or time. And remembrance of Allah could a wide range of Ibaadah! Note: Evidence is required of the one who claims that something is prescribed in Islam, otherwise the basic principle with regard to acts of worship is that they are not allowed unless there is proven evidence that they are prescribed. Based on this, the evidence that this belief is not prescribed is the fact that there is no evidence to suggest that it is permitted.[/quote]. . shawl:. . I dont know if you misread or misinterpreted the post but we know that praying for the dead Muslim is permissible. But praying to the dead is shirk. . Seclusion (Khulwa).... Staying indoors for some period hoping to become a friend of Allah! [b]Flawed Logic and interpretation of Text shawl:Even if the prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, frequented the cave Hira for khalwa and meditation before he was called to Prophethood. How many of his companions went for Khalwa? How many times did the Prophet go back to the cave for Khalwa after his call to Prophethood? All the verses you quoted are not even related to Khalwa at all. . And Allah knows Best. |

^^^^^ You just wrong on Khalwa by trying to make it sound unlwaful. I am not just interested in this for now. A very simply logical deduction would refute what you said. Same applies to wiping face after dua and also gathering of recitation of Quran. These are sunnah acts that you people are belittling. |

Empiree:Including prayer to the died ones because it was encourage Islamically that is the only thing one can perform infavour of the late souls. So to visit a graveyard for supplication is also not that bad. Allahu A'alam. |
| Re: Some Deeds Not Meant For Muslims by Rashduct4luv(op): 8:43am On Mar 24, 2017 |
Khulwa is unlawful since it makes the male miss Salah in congregation! Also it is not prescribed in Islam. 'itikhaf is sufficient for us during the last 10 days of Ramadan. Whoever does any act of worship that the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam did not permit will have it rejected. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stated repeatedly that: "Every newly-invented thing is a bid'ah (innovation), every bid'ah is a going astray, and every going astray will be in the Fire." (Reported by al-Nisaa'i in al-Sunan, Salaat al-'Eedayn, Baab kayfa al-Khutbah). Reports with the same meaning were narrated via Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) by Ahmad, via al-'Irbaad ibn Saariyah by Abu Dawud and via Ibn Mas'ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) by Ibn Maajah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say, when beginning a khutbah (sermon): "… The best of speech is the Book of Allaah and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The worst of things are those which are newly-invented, and every innovation is a going astray…" (reported by Muslim, no. 867) As i said earlier before, we can visit the grave to pray for the dead Muslims only. Praying to the dead to answer our prayer is what is haram. |

Rashduct4luv:"And whoever honours the Symbols of Allah, then it is truly from the piety of the heart." It is apparent this excerpt from the holy Qur'an has a broad connotation and does not need much tafsir on it. You can deny it all you want but it won't change that. It is just plain denial. Rashduct4luv:I made myself very clear, I said if you are against group recitation of the Qur'an, then you are wrong. Moreover, there is also nothing wrong in slaughtering a ram for the participants for the purpose of entertaining them and I think this is what most people do. But you and your people like to find issues where there is none. Rashduct4luv:(wiping the face after dua) This hadith is "sahih gharib" - Tirmidhi “It has shawahid (supporting narrations) such as the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbaas that is reported by Abu Dawud and elsewhere (Imam Ahmad in Musnad). These narrations, collectively, warrant the hadith to be considered Hasan!” - Al-Hafith Ibn Hajr Al-’Asqalani, Bulugh Al-Maram. …and it is mandub (recommended) to raise the hands in every du’aa outside of Salah and afterwards one wipes their face with their hands... - An Nawawi, Al Minhaj Rashduct4luv:(Gathering of zikr and durood, assalatu) That is why it is an "open cheque". It could be another day besides Sunday. It could be scheduled to run in cycle or one off. Make your choice and please don't confuse yourself. Rashduct4luv:Abu Darda (RA) narrates that the Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) said: whatever Allaah has permitted in his book is halaal, whatever he has forbidden is haraam, and anything over which there is silence is pardoned, so accept the pardon of Allaah, for Allaah cannot be forgetful. Then he recited this verse: "and your Lord is never forgetful". Rashduct4luv:As far as I know, muslims only pray "to" Allahu ta'ala but they can also do that through the intercession of the prophet or a waliUllah as well. Dead or alive. Rashduct4luv:This is a resort to logical reasoning and is therefore not a proof. But nothing stops a khalwati from attending the congregational prayer, ok. And the ahadith you quoted did not prohibit khalwa. When the prophet, saw, was making khalwa was he sinning? If he wasn't, which I believe he wasn't, then it is a good practice (but left to the capability of the practitioner). If he was, may Allah forbid, then you know where that line of reasoning leads you. |
| Re: Some Deeds Not Meant For Muslims by Empiree: 5:02pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
Rashduct4luv:people quote the first hadith you cited a lot loosely and apply it wrongly. Many of us don't pray congratulational salat if that's the evidence. Look around every masjid in the world, only jummah you see masajis filled up. Why not other days?. People pray at work or wherever the are. So bcus they would miss congregational salat working is also forbidden by your logic?. You can not say it is haram. Haram and halal are clear. Khalwa is up to individual within their capacity. |

Empiree:Well, Lakum deenukum waliyadeen. Let me follow the deen as the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam did it and you can keep following your whims and desires... There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path....and whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it. May Allah keep all the the followers of the Sunnah of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam on the Right path till they die! Aamin. |

We must learn to forget them? 6. - Do you mean the Tesbih (Islamic rosary) is rubbish? 21. - Dating or courting isn't allowed in Islam? Wait!

OgologoDimkpa:. Actually, the mentality is to give to Muslims what was given to the Christians! The dates for the birth of Jesus and Muhammad (Peace be on them both) are not without fault. So we do not need the celebration really and it is not in any Book to celebrate any birthday whether Christmas or Maulid! . In short going by our Scriptures....there's nothing like 'Eid-el-Maulid in Islam. Some Muslims/people at the elm of affairs probably want or gave those holidays just like the Christians took the 25th December....They say Nigeria is a secular country! So whatever the Christians take, the Muslims wanna take! And we have many Muslims who do celebrate it erroneously! |

HateIslam:. People use knife to eat, to cut items, or to kill. Some use are beneficial while some ain't. Phones are not directly involved in our acts of worship. So its what we use it for that matters! One can use phones to transfer money for charity or use it to watch porn! Halal or Haram! . I pray you stop the Islamophobia... |
