Refuting the claim that celebrating the Mawlid is a good Bid`ah

Image result for imitating the kuffar

Q: Our question is about celebrating the Mawlid (the Prophet's birthday). Is it Bid`ah (innovation in Islaam)? I heard in some places and from some scholars that it is a good Bid`ah and Allaah knows best, may Allaah bless you!

The refutation to the claim that celebrating the Prophet's birthday is a good innovation can be found here

Beware Of logical Conclusions!!

 

Ash-Sha'bee رحمه الله said:

"Beware of logical conclusions. By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, if you rely upon Qiyaas you will declare that which is impermissible permissible and that which is permissible impermissible. So whatever is conveyed to you by those who narrate upon the companions, HOLD ONTO IT!!

Keeping photographs for remembrance!!


Image result for camera

Question: Is it permissible for Muslim to keep photographs for the purpose of remembrance. 

Answer: No, it is NOT permissible for a Muslim to keep photographs for the purpose of remembrance. This is with regards to photographs of living things (with souls) among the children of Adam and others. It is obligatory to destroy them due to what has been established from the Messenger of Allaah صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم that he said to 'Ali رضي اللّه عنـه:

"Do not leave a photo except that you efface and destroy it, and do not leave a raised grave that you flatten it."

It is also established from the Messenger of Allaah صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم that he prohibited photographs to be hung in the Kaa'bah, since he saw them hung on its walls. He صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم then requested water and a piece of cloth and wiped them off. As for the photos of non-living things, such as mountains, trees and the likes, there is no problem in keeping them.

At least complete the recitation of the Qur'aan every month… !

Image result for quran


Explained by Sheikh Saleh al Fawzaan  حفظه الله

If a month passes by and the Qur’aan has not been completed, then this is neglect!! 
 
Allaah سبحانه و تعالى sent down this Qur’aan to be recited and implemented. He did not send it down for it to be placed in books and Mushafs and  for it to be preserved on shelves and cupboards. Rather, it is to be recited night and day. A Muslim recites it in every available situation and the Scholars have stated….

The Companions, (may Allaah be pleased with them), used to portion out the Qur’aan. They used to set a portion (to recite) during the night and during the night prayer. Some of them would complete reciting it in three nights, others in seven and ten nights.

The Description of Ilm (Knowledge)

Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله

There are many from the students of knowledge whose intention in seeking knowledge is nothing except for the attainment of leadership or wealth, and for every person is that which he intended. As for the people of knowledge and religion, they are the (true) people of knowledge.  This is what’s intended with them due to its benefit for them and their need for it in this life as well as in the hereafter. Just as Mu’aadh ibn Jabal (رضي اللّه عنـه) stated regarding the description of knowledge:

Indeed the seeking of it for the sake of Allaah is Ibaadah (worship). Reviewing it is a means of glorifying (Allaah).  The research of it is striving (for the sake of Allaah.)  Teaching it to the one who does not know it is sadaqah (charity). By way of it Allaah it is known and they worship Him.  Also (by way of it) Allaah is magnified and singled out (for all that which is specifically for Him). Based upon this we find the people who benefit from it and their souls are purified by way of it. They intend with it the following of the truth and not the following of desires. The traverse on it: the path of justice and fairness. They love it and find delight with it. They love an abundance of it and the abundance of its people.

Conditions & Meaning of the 'Shahadah' - Sheikh ibn Baaz رحمه الله

Animated wallpaper, screensaver 240x320 for cellphone


(Laa Illaaha il’Allaah - (لا اله الاالله)

Its meaning – There is No diety worthy of worship (in Truth) except Allaah.
Its pillars are:

1.     The negation phrase “ there is no deity worthy of worship (Laa Ilaaha)
2.     The confirmation phrase “ except Allaah (IllaaAllaah)

The phrase: “there is no deity worthy of worship” negates all other false objects of worship while the phrase “except Allaah” confirms that there is only one true Lord, worthy of worship Who has no partners.

The conditions of the Shahaadah (testimony of Faith) are eight:

1. `Ilm (Knowledge): Knowledge of it’s meaning – what is confirmed by it and what is negated by it. As previously stated it was mentioned that the meaning of: “There is NO deity worthy of worship except Allaah” is that all other objects of worship that mankind set up as partners with Allaah are false.

2. Yaqeen (Certainty): To have certainty in its meaning, (i.e. to be free from doubt or suspicion). This means one must be upon certainty that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah.

3. Al-Ikhlaas (Sincerity): This means the sincerity the servant has towards his Lord ONLY, in all acts of worship. For example, if anyone deviates from this sincerity to Allaah and directs it towards a Prophet, an idol, a king, the jinn or any other false object of worship, then, certainly he is guilty of committing Shirk (polytheism) and has contradicted this condition of the Shahaadah (Testimony of Faith), which is Sincerity.

4. As-Sidq (Truthfulness): It means to speak the truth in order to remove any trace of hypocrisy. This is the meaning of Sidq. It also means to observe truthfulness with the tongue as well as the heart. If Sidq is observed by only the tongue and not by the heart, then this condition of Sidq (truthfulness) will not be met.
