Assalaamu Alaykom sister. This is where you need to draw the line. The servitude of the people to Allaah azza wa jal is that they do not question Allaah's judgement. The 'Aqeedah of the believers is that acceptance of Allaah's rules is not conditional upon understanding. And if it were then...

If you can verify that the meat is from halal sources and that there is no cross contamination through using knives or other tools then it is not any different to buying halal meat from another source. But if you cannot verify this, then it is best to avoid it as one can never be too careful...

Arzafar, there is nothing wrong with the fatwa you posted. Everyone knows that peers affect our thinking, that peers cause us to do things would never think of doing. To protect one's self and faith, we must distance ourself from misguided Muslims - let alone non-believers. Who is better: a...

Ironically that link takes me to a site where all I read are interpretations by an unknown someone of the verses of the Quran. The Quran isn't open to interpretation by anyone, and it is not subject to anyone's whims or desires. Even in the time of the prophet :saw:, not all the companions were...

#1 no one is tasked beyond their capabilities :) #2 so called "harmful bacteria" is actually quite beneficial to the body. The immune system needs to be under constant attack in order for it to function normally. Any excessive cleaning using rubbing alcohol or other antibacterial agents is...

Check mark on all points in my book. This comment: "We assimilate with one another, in an attempt to not stand out. " This confused me when I first came with my family here. I see people doing things and I couldn't figure out why. Only years later I realized majority of those around me...

It seems you are convinced that music is ok. I am not going to attempt to change your opinion, everyone will be responsible for their decisions and actions. The Prophet :saw: taught us, forget about an issue being clearly forbidden, if there is a matter where there is doubt with regards to it's...

Health is too general, there are so many things people are deprived yet deemed healthy. Let's count some of the things we take for granted: - count every limb, every bone in your body. Which one would you live without? - count all your joints, which one could you give up? - count all the...

:wasalam: Surat-ul Ahzaab (33), 45-48.

Wow mashaAllaah.. I can't even imagine what secrets they will discover hidden in this word 200 years from now.

I can say on more than one occasion my Emaan would increase upon reading some of the beneficial stuff posted here. I also learned of things pertaining to this deen I was never taught. Alhamdulilah, I ask Allaah to guide us all to His Straight Path.

I agree on ending discussion of this topic, but if you have any information supporting your claims from a reputable scholar I would like to read it for my own benefit.

Arafat is an open place, anyone can be present there at any time. Maybe the Messenger :saw: was guided by Allaah to go and stand at arafat, or maybe :saw: was checking out the place, among other possibilities. But I still haven't seen or heard of evidence that he used to do hajj or any act of...

Walykom Assalaam Warahmatu Allaah, Living in a non-Muslim country is definitely a questionable act at best if there isn't a valid reason for it. Some say living in so-called Muslim countries is worse than living in the west, and there are advantages to living in both. Just the fact that we...

:wasalam: It depends on the intention. http://islamqa.com/en/ref/105412

:wasalam: A very ironic question! It is ironic because: - No one is free from sin as the Prophet :saw: - Every son of Adam is a sinner, and the best among those who commit sin are the repenters - Messenger :saw: said: If you were not to commit sins, Allah would have swept you out of...

Prophet :saw: knew there was something more than idol worshipping. Idol worshipping didn't make sense to him, at the same time he did not follow any person, any book, or any ideology until Allaah azza wajal sent down the wahi to him. The Prophet :saw: maintained his fitrah, that pure heart...

:jazaak: Very good reminder. I was also surprised some years ago when I found out my ties were all made of silk. Needless to say, I got rid of all of them and alhamdulilah I have had no problems finding polyester ones. And no one bothered to mention it to me! Silk is forbidden for men, and...

A side issue I wanted to bring up is this: Muslim graves should not be labeled with tablets or plaques or have structures erected over them. It is a tradition among the non-believers to put headstones that indicate "Here lies so and so who lived and died etc etc". This is not from the practice...
