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...

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...

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...

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...

Hah! I'm so gonna tell this joke to my friends. Can I borrow it, Mr. Smith?

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.

Ah! I see! My apologies:redface:

Alhamdulillah! However, I suggest you change your thread title if possible. You don't tell people to congratulate you. That is riya'. Wallahualam.

Thanks for the heads up. Very interested in getting that islamic e-book.

A good reminder. I have yet to memorize surah Al-Waqiah.

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...

Thanks for the link. Youtube has so many jewels. Unfortunately, it is hidden under so much rubbish that I'm sometimes reluctant to go surfing there.

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...

You can say: 1) "Thank You!" 2) "Go home, dad! You're drunk!" (change to "mum" if it's a woman) 3) "But if we go home, who's going to teach your children to speak proper English?" 4) "But if we go home, there will be no more doctors in your hospitals."
