Assalam alaikum brother Mabsoot,
It is a while I am trying to figure how to post new threads, no results so far. I would appreciate if you could inform me somehow. Anyway, right now I have a question:
Is snail meat halal? I never ate it before, but mistakenly I bought it in store (I mistaken them for oysters - I know they are halal, because is meat of water).
I am really concerned, because I bought from chinese store, and I know they eat everything. May Allah guide us and forgiveus.
Amin
Assalamu Alaykum
Muslims must know that the year is 1427 after hijri. Our calendar is different. This 2007 is a Pagan and Christian date. It is supposedly based upon the life of Jesus (on him be peace).
But, as we know, this is not correct. Neither Christmas nor Easter has any correct significance to Jesus life. Instead, most of the days the Christians celebrate can be traced back to the Roman pagans and their festivals.

Plans
Also, we should always be changing for the better. we do not need to wait till new years day to formulate a new plan or "New Years Resolution".
May Allah help us all.

My plan is for my family and me to reach new levels of faith in God...to reach out to those in need and to be less judging or leery of those things I do not know much about. To learn and of course to share what I have learned and to loveeee

NewMuslim said:Though I agree with the fact that we shouldn't celebrate New Years. We also shouldn't use this calendar as our central calendar (using B.C./A.C.) and ignore the Hijri calendar because the Gregorian Calendar includes Leap Years; something Allah has forbidden for us Muslims to use in our calendars in the Qur'an.
Assalmu Alaykum
Here's the Ayat (translation of the meaning):
"The number of months with Allah has been twelve months by Allah's ordinance since the day He created the heavens and the earth. Of these four are known as sacred; That is the straight usage, so do not wrong yourselves therein, and fight those who go astray.
Verily the transposing (of a prohibited month) is an addition to Unbelief: The Unbelievers are led to wrong thereby: for they make it lawful one year, and forbidden another year, of months forbidden by Allah and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their course seems pleasing to them. But Allah guideth not those who reject Faith." (Qur'an Surah 9:36-37)
Also, in the Prophet Muhammad's saw last sermon (according to wikipedia, this paragraph is often deleted from copies as it's seen as now unimportant):
"O People, the unbelievers indulge in tampering with the calendar in order to make permissible that which Allah forbade, and to forbid that which Allah has made permissible. With Allah the months are twelve in number. Four of them are holy, three of these are successive and one occurs singly between the months of Jumada and Shaban."
:salam2:
for this. I donot think I fully comprehend the meaning of the following: "Four of them are holy, three of these are successive and one occurs singly between the months of Jumada and Shaban."
You must mean "where is evidence from the Qur'an to use the moon for calendars"?Also where is it about the lunar days?
No problem. AlhamdulillahThanks again.
