    Can we Celebrate the Birthday of Prophet Muhammad?

    Yes, there is. Umar (r.a) was asked about praying the tarawih in congregation. He said it is bid'ah but what a beautiful bid'ah it is. So there is such a thing as good bid'ah. Anyone can understand that. And no, it is not Islamic version of Xmas. We don't call Muhammad (s.a.w) son of God, for...

    What done Abu Lahab?

    I think the OP wants to know what the uncle of the Prophet (s.a.w) did when the Prophet was born. I don't know the details but I have heard that Abu Lahab (what was his real name anyway??) was so happy when his nephew was born that he had a feast and like one poster said, he freed a slave. He...

    Dua

    You can also make dua after the tashahud but before the salam. There are several specific duas that can be recited after the tashahud. The one I usually recite is: Allahuma inna a'udzubika min a'zabi jahannam, wa min a'zabil kubri, wa min fitnatil mahya wa mamati, wa min fitnahtil masihi...

    Can we Celebrate the Birthday of Prophet Muhammad?

    This question pops up here in Malaysia every time Maulidur Rasul approaches. It is usually asked by the so-called 'liberal' Muslims who are always on the lookout undermine their own faith. It is true that celebrating the Prophet's (s.a.w) birthday is considered a bid'ah (innovation) but it is...

    Here in Malaysia the covers are available in many colours (including pink) so really, you can't tell from the covers. But from the script, most if not all of the Quran in Malaysia are in Uthmani script.

    About women wearing a Hijab

    Waalaikum Salam, Some muslimah don't wear the hijab because, as you said in your post, they are not ready. Some don't wear it because they no intention of wearing it. They love to show off their hair and their bodies. These are women who subscribe to VOGUE and Cosmopolitan magazines. They...

    i need some advice please??

    Your uncle was just angry. So angry that he seemed to forget that your late father dealt in a haram substance. Stay close with your mother and stepfather and stepsisters. Also look to your Muslim husband for support (erm, are you two married yet?). Leave your father's side of the family for...

    The NOI that was founded by Elijah Muhammad changed its name and today preaches orthodox Islam. The NOI that exists today is an offshoot led by Louis Farakkhan who disagreed with Elijah's son for bringing the original NOI into orthodox Islam. He wants the NOI to continue to be...

    Children born believers in God - Telegraph

    This article is only surprising to the non-Muslims. A Muslim would just say, "Yes, we know. What's your point?":wink: Didn't Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that every child is born a Muslim (that is, one who submits to the will of Allah)? And it is the parents who turn the child...

    Evangelising Islam in the East??

    It is not true that Islam is unheard of in the Orient (China, Korea, Japan). Islam spread in South Korea after the Korean War in the early 1950s. It was brought there by Turkish soldiers who were sent there as UN peace keepers. Islam is more of a new arrival in Japan, if I'm not mistaken. It...
