Well I agree with you there then^^ Also what Wannabemuslim said, I totally agree.

It isn't really far fetched. Someone will probably say that with a scholarly opinion and view to back it up sooner or later. I don't think there will be a halal thing left in a few years with all these fatwas!

I played chess on my ipad the other day and I got beat in about 2 minutes. It doesn't take 3 hours!! *waits for someone to say an ipad is haram*

Even though I have not missed a fast, prayer or taraveeh this ramadhan I realise that my faith isn't as strong as some of you guys and when I come across some threads on here I realise that masha'Allah you have no doubts in your mind. I would like to know what strengthens your belief in Allah...

It is absolutely clear that when the Qur'an and sunnah spoke about gambling they were speaking about using money to bet. If we allow it to apply to when no money is involved then any recreational activity and pretty much all the rest of our life becomes haram unless you just live in a box...

Jazak'Allah everyone for their responses. At worse, playing these games for enjoyment is makrooh but that is at WORST. It can not be haram but I think when there is doubt then that thing should be avoided and insha'Allah I will try to avoid them.

Oh, and scholars can be wrong too. Some of you act as if they aren't humans and are perfect in every thought.

I have no problem with not playing poker because it's not even like I'm addicted or anything, I was just curious on finding out this answer. But the reason the prophet s.a.w was banning the games of chance was because people were gambling in them with REAL money that's why he said to not gamble...

Some people need to chill with launching fatwas on everything. It's like saying "sleeping is haram cos it might distrupt you from your prayer". There's a such thing as an alarm. And most people have sense as to go pray when it is time. Playing chess or poker doesn't make them intoxicated - it's...

That's one scholar's opinion which doesn't seem to be based on much other than his own thinking therefore I can't agree with it. Sometimes you don't need to be a scholar to have common sense. I'm not gambling anything except time by playing it. If it is haram though then you are telling me; I'm...

I'm very, almost 100% certain that it isn't. It involves a certain amount of 'skill' and I have nothing to lose except time so it's not any different from other games such as chess or ludo or something. If it is haraam because "you're still gambling something" i.e. plastic chips which you...

I don't understand Arabic^^

It doesn't say dark, it says black. But I see your point.

I don't know about everyone but I'm fairly light skinned but I wouldn't have minded if I wasn't.

Hmm yes that clarifies things a bit. I've also been thinking about what effect this can have on the women of this world. I.e. if a non muslim woman began reading the Qur'an and read that white women are meant to be more beautiful. Or even that on judgement day the bad people's faces will be...

I've found a lot of quotes to the women in paradise which will be given for pious men who worked righteous deeds in this life. I've been wondering why they've been described so specifically i.e. from reading various ayah's from the Qur'an you can deduce the following: A houri is a...

Jazak'Allah for all your answers. I believe I am more knowledged on these issues now than I was before. Thank you brothers and sisters :SMILY259:

Subhan'Allah at this line quoted by the sister above from the Qur'an which completely answers my second question. We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Qur'ân) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to...

As salaamu alaikum, Before I start, I'd like to say I am a muslim and nothing will ever be able to change that insha'Allah however I am by nature someone who thinks over things a lot and questioning everything - which is encouraged in Islam anyway so I hope if I say something bad or offend...

Salam brother. In the pasttimes people needed less convincing about for instance the Miracles of our Prophets but in this 'age of science' faith alone is insufficient. You cannot tell someone "so and so happened as is said in the Qur'an" because if someone doesn't have belief in the Qur'an in...
