Permissability of Music March 6, 2008

Asalam Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakathu,

In the society we live in we hear music every where. Whether we are watching tv or we turn on the radio we are surrounded by music. Some shuyook have said that listening to music is alright as long as it is “islamic”. Many brothers and sisters say ”so and so said its alright soo that is why we are doing it” Our response is on the day of judgement your response to Allah so and so told me its ok punish them” will not suffice also do not look at what so and so said look at what Allah Azzawajaal tells us and what the Prophet pbuh said about this topic. Inshallah we will bring proofs from the Quran and the Sunnah to justify our stance on music, and to refute those shuyook who encourage this hated practice of  jahiliyya.

proof number one-

“But there are, among men, those who purchase idle tales, without knowledge (or meaning), to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on the Path): for such there will be a humiliating Penalty.” [31:6]
-Ibn Abbas (radhi Allahu anh) said idle tales in this verse “lahu al hadith” is evil and music.

-Ibn al Qayyim (rahimahu Allah) said, “The interpretation of the sahabah  and Tabiyeen of idle tales is sufficient in that it means music.

Proof number two

“Do ye then wonder at this recital? And will ye laugh and not weep. Wasting your time in vanities?” 53: 59-61

Ibn Katheer (rahimahu Allah) said in his tafseer under this verse, Sufyan Althawry narrated that his father heard Ibn Abbas say “usmud” for us means sing for us.

Just these two verses out of several should be enough proof for a believer, but we will provide proofs from the Sunnah for those who say “no where does it say that music is forbidden. Let us remind you Allah Azzawajaal tells us to follow the Prophet PBUH in Surah Ahzab “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day…”

Proof one from Sunnah-

The prophet (sallah allahu alieh wasalam) walked with Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf in between pine trees. The prophet (sallah allahu alieh wasalam) then placed his son Ibrahim on his lap and began to cry. Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf said, “Oh prophet of Allah do you cry when you stop us from crying?” He said, “I did not deter you from crying. I deterred you from two evil sinful voices - a voice with musical devilish instruments and a voice at a misery with scraping of the face and shredding of the clothe.”

second proof-

The prophet (sallah allahu alieh wasalam) said “There will be in my Ummah those who make it halal (permissible) adultery/fornication, silk, alcohol and musical instruments.”

Sheikh Al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahu Allah) said this hadith proves musical instruments to be haram and “ma3azif” (the term in the hadith is a term used for all musical instruments.)

May Allah Guide Us.

Errors to Avoid in Salaah February 26, 2008

Posted by Ghuraba in : Muslims, Naseeha, Qur'an, Sharia, Uncategorized , 1 comment so far

Asalam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakathu,

Wearing pants, or garment that hangs below the ankles.
This is one of the greatest sins. Abu Dthar reported that the Messenger of Allah(p.b.u.h.) said: “There are three people whom Allah shall not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor shall He look at them, nor purify them, and they shall have a painful torment: one whose garment hands down below his ankles, almannan and(a merchant) who sells of his merchandise by means of false oath.

Some people think that wearing clothes that hang below their ankles is a sin if they abstain from doing so while praying only. Others think that wearing such a garment is abstain only if it is worn out of pride; otherwise, they believe there is no harm in doing so.

However, the above and many other traditions indicate clearly that wearing clothes that hang below the ankles(for men) is a grave sin regardless of whether such garments are worn out of habit or pride.

Consuming food of bad smell such as garlic or onion before coming to prayer.
Angels and the praying people are bothered by offensive smell. On the contrary, one should wear perfume, if available, before coming into mosques. Jabir reported that The Prophet(p.b.u.h.) said: “He who eats from the smelly plant(garlic or onion), let him come not near our mosque; the angels are bothered by that which bothers men.

Proceeding to mosque for prayer with brisk walk, or even running for fear of missing part of the prayer.
This may disturb those who are already in prayer. The Messenger of Allah(p.b.u.h.) said: “When prayer has already started, do not walk quickly to join in. Proceed to it calmly ;then join in whichever part of it you catch up, and complete whichever part you missed.

Saying takberr al-Ihram while in rukoo.
Many of those who come late to the mosque and join in prayer which is already in progress, rush to take the same posture, while people are in rukooo and say takbeer al-Ihram, or opening takbeer of prayer while bowing for fear of missing that ruk’ah. Takbeer al-ihram is to be pronounced when one is standing upright only.

Mumbling the niyyah or intention, and uttering it in a low audible voice.
The heart is the place of intention. Mumbling words such as ‘I intend to pray such prayer or such number of rak’kaat, or ‘I intend to fast or to do such act of worship or another,’ just before starting praying in bid’ah which was practiced neither by the Prophet(p.b.u.h.) nor his companions, nor by their followers. Uttering the above words of niyyah allows shaitan to put irrelevant words in the mouth of the person who utters the niyyah.

Neglecting raising the hands in the opening takbeer of salah and before and after rukoo’, and upon standing up for the third rak’ah.
Abuullah bin Umar said: “I saw the Prophet(p.b.u.h.) raising his hands to the level of his shoulders, upon starting prayer, and before bending for rukoo’ and when he stood up again. Raising hands with every takbeer, subsequent to the first takbeer in janazah, Eed or rain prayers is not recommended. The messenger of Allah(p.b.u.h.) used to put his hands on his chest (while standing in prayer).

Neglecting praying facing a sutrah.
The sutrah is an object, such as a wall, or a post, which a person faces while praying. Or any other object which a person places to serve as a sutrah, by putting it on the ground in order that no one may cross in front of him while praying. The Messenger of Allah(p.b.u.h.) said: “Pray facing a sutrah, and let no one cross in front of you while praying. If he insists then prevent him by force because he is accompanied by shaitan.”

Reluctance to stand in the front line in congregational prayer.
The Messenger of Allah(p.b.u.h.) said: “Were people to realize the value of making adthan, and the great reward(for doing so), and the virtue of standing in the first line (in congregational prayer), and had no choice but to make a draw (to decide who makes adthan or stands in the first line), they would have justifiably of coming early to (congregational) prayer, they would have raced with one another (to reach the mosque first). And if they were to know the great reward(for coming to mosque) for Isha’ and Fajr prayers, they would have come even if they had to crawl.

Gazing upward during prayer, or looking at the imam, right or left.
This may cause loss of concentration. We are commanded to lower our gaze, and look at the point at which the head rests during sujood. The Prophet(p.b.u.h.) warned: “Let those who raise their gaze up during prayer stop doing so, or else their sights would not return to them.”

Leaving gaps in lines of congregational prayer.
The messenger(p.b.u.h.) commanded: “Straighten your lines, level your shoulders and block the gaps, shaitan passes through.”

Lowering the head excessively, or pushing it up, and arching the back during rukoo.
The head must be kept in normal position, while the back must be straight during rukoo’ to form with legs a right angle. Sticking the arms to the sides of the body, in rukoo’ or sujood, and sticking the belly to the thighs in sujood. The Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.) said: “Let not one of you support himself on hiss forearms(in sujood) like the dog. Let him rest on his palms and keep his elbows away from his body.” The Prophet(p.b.u.h.) used to keep his arms away from his body during rukoo’ and sujood that the whiteness of his armpits could be seen.

Hasty performance of prayer which does not allow repose and calmness in rukoo’ or sujood. The Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.) saw a man who did not complete his rukoo’(bowing), and made a very short sujood(prostration); he said: “If this man dies while praying in this manner, he would die upholding a religion other than the religion of Muhammad. Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him said: “My beloved friend Mohuammad, peace be upon him, forbade me to perform postures of prayer copying the picking of a rooster; (signifying fast performance of prayer), moving eyes around like a fox and the sitting like monkies, i.e. to sit on thighs. The Messenger of Allah(p.b.u.h.) said: “The worst thief is the one who steals from his own prayer.” People asked, “Messenger of Allah! How could one steal from his own prayer? He said: “By not completing its rukoo and sujood.” To complete rukoo is to stay in that posture long enough to recite ‘subhana rabbiyalAdtheem’ three times, slowly, and ‘subhana rabbiyal-a’ala three times, slowly, in sujood. He also announced: “He who does not complete his rukoo’ and sujood, his prayer is void.”

Sitting in a tawarruk position in the last rak’ah of Fajr and Jum’ah prayers.
It is praiseworthy to take tawarruk position only in the last rak’ah of Dhtuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha’ prayers. Tawarruk is described in Sahih al-Bukhari as resting the body, during sitting position, on the left thigh and putting the left foot under the right leg, while setting the right foot upright; and supporting the body by the left hand with which the left knee is grasped.

Raising hands for du’a soon as prayer is over.
This was not practice of the Messenger of Allah(p.b.u.h.). The Sunnah is to start with dthikr soon after salah is over. The Prophet(p.b.u.h.) said: “When your recite, ‘At-tahiyyat…,’ (just before tasleem), choose whichever du’a you like.” The best forms of du’a are those authentically related to the Prophet(p.b.u.h.).

Crossing in front of a praying person.
The Messenger of Allah(p.b.u.h.) warned: “Were the one who crosses in front of a prayer person to know the consequences of doing so, he would have waited for forty better than to cross in front of him.” The forty in the tradition may be days months or even years. Allah knows best.

Walking away right after tasleem, at the end of prayer,and neglecting dthikr, which is reciting subhanal-Lah 33 times, alhamdu Lilah 33 times, Allahu Akbar 33 times, reciting La llaha illal’Laah 10 times reciting ayat al-Kursi(i.e. verse 255 of surah 2 al-Baqarah), or other authentic dthikr.

A Lesson for Today from the People of Lut AS February 21, 2008

Posted by Ghuraba in : Qur'an, Sharia, history lesson, knowledge , add a comment

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullah.

One phenomenon that we see in todays western societies is the acceptance of things, which Allah SWT clearly hates.  People just want to accept these things to be accepted by the kafir society not thinking about what Allah SWT has told us in the Qur’an.  During the past several years, the  western society has become more accepting of homosexuality, and even though this is a disgusting and repulsive thing Islamically, Muslims are tending to do the same thing!  Subhanallah.  Instead of thinking about the the kuffar say, we should think about what Allah told us and what our history shows us, so let’s turn to the Qur’an:

“Homosexuality is negatory of the natural role and aim of sexual activity. Its tendency’s were no where to be found in the first inhabitants of this earth. This unnatural practice originated in the satanic influenced people who dwelled in Sodom and Gomorrah during the era of Ibrahim (a.s.). In order that they should abandon this immorality, Allah had sent to them Lut (a.s) [the nephew of Ibrahim a.s.] as a Prophet. Allah relates,

“And (we had sent) Lut when he said to his people, “Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds (i.e. peoples)? Indeed you approach men with desire, instead of woman! Rather you are a transgressing people”. (Holy Quran 7:80-81)

But the people of Sodom and Gomorrah were not very receptive to Lut (a.s) nor did they accept his message and advise. Rather they outright rejected him, became very sarcastic towards him and began issuing threats to him as Allah explains,

“The people of Lut rejected the messengers. When their brother Lut said to them, “Will you not fear Allah? Indeed I am for you a trustworthy messenger. So fear Allah and obey me. And I do not ask you for it any payment. My reward is only from the Lord of the worlds. Do you approach males among the worlds and leave what your Lord has created for you as your mates? But you are a transgressing people!” They said (in response), “If you do not desist, O Lut, you will surely be of those evicted” (Holy Quran 26:160-167)

However Lut (a.s.) did not give up his duty and continued to invite them towards the truth and a moral way of life until finally the city dwellers began to demand the exile of Lut (a .s.) as Allah relates,

“But the answer of his people was only that they said, “Expel the family of Lut from your city! Indeed they are people who keep themselves pure”. (Holy Quran 27:56)

At that point Lut (a.s.) turned to Allah and supplicated,

“My Lord, save me and my family from (the consequence of ) what they do:” (Holy Quran 26:69)

Allah accepted this prayer and saved his family as He states,

“So we saved him and all his family. Except an old woman (Lut’s wife) among those who remained behind (due to her disbelief). Then we destroyed the others.” (Holy Quran 26:170 - 173)

Allah explains in another verse as to how these people were destroyed.

“So the shriek seized them at sunrise. And we made the highest part (of the city) it’s lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay. Indeed in that are signs for those who discern!” (Holy Quran 15: 73-74)

From this incident one can clearly observe how loathsome homosexuality is to Almighty Allah for He sent upon these people multiple punishments such as has never been witnessed before, all in succession. It is for this reason the Prophet (s.a.w.) has expressed,

“Indeed the most frightening thing I fear upon my nation is the practice of the people of Lut.” (Ibn Majah, Tirmidhi, Hakim)

In another narration reported by Tabrani in his ‘Al-Awsat’ on the authority of Abu Hurairah (r.a.) the Prophet (s.a.w.) has further clarified the position of a homosexual in the eyes of Allah by stating,

“Allah has cursed seven (groups) from his creation, from above his seven skies and he has repeated the curse upon one of those groups three times. He has cursed each one of them (i. e. those groups) with such a curse which will suffice them (for their destruction)”. He ( then) said, “Cursed is the one who practices the act of the People of Lut! Cursed is the one who practices the act of the People of Lut! Cursed is the one who practices the act of the People of Lut!..”. (Tabrani in Al-Awsat)

The Prophet (s.a.w.) has also explained the outcome of that society in which this unnatural practice becomes prevalent. Ibn Umar (r.a.) has narrated,

“The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) turned towards us and said, “Never does indecency emerge within a people to the extent that they publicize it except plague and torments spread within them, the likes of which have not passed in their predecessors who have passed away.” (Ibn Majah, Bazzar, Baihaqi).

Jabir bin Abdullah (r.a.) has related,

“The Prophet (s.a.w.) said, “…And when sodomy increases Allah lifts His hand from the creation (thereafter) He does not care in which valley they perish.” (Tabrani)

From all this information it becomes clear that homosexuality has no place in Islam. This act is such that it is not even observed among beasts and a person who engages in it intensifies Allah’s anger to the extent that Allah will not even consider looking at him. Ibn Abbas (r.a.) has narrated,

“The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) mentioned, “Allah does not glance towards that man who approaches another man or woman (for fulfillment of his sexual desires) in (their) anus.” ( Tirmidhi).

May Allah save us all from developing such an unnatural habit and give us the ability to help those who are deviating far from the natural ways instructed by Almighty Allah. Ameen.”

Continuing Problems for Coalition Forces in Afghanistan February 20, 2008

Australia Is Unable to Boost Afghanistan Force, Fitzgibbon Says

By Gemma Daley

Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) — Australia’s forces are stretched to the limit and the country is unable to contribute more soldiers to help NATO troops fight the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan.

“We are already doing more than our fair share,” Defense Minister Joel Fitzgibbon said today in an interview in the capital, Canberra. “We really don’t have the capacity.”

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has led calls for North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies to contribute 7,000 more combat soldiers to southern Afghanistan. Australia is a partner of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force and has 1,000 personnel in southern Uruzgan province and around Kandahar Airport.

A U.S.-led military coalition ousted the Taliban after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, then handed the Afghan mission over to NATO command as President George W. Bush’s attention shifted to Iraq. Pitched to Europeans as a peacekeeping assignment, the increasingly violent campaign is losing public support in Canada and Europe.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601081&sid=a1hOUEce4iq8&refer=australia

Allahu Akbar!

The mujahideen stayed steadfast in the Jihad and Allah Azzawajaal rewarded them and Inshallah will continue to reward them with victories. This is great new for the every one except the murtads and the mushrikeen, may Allah continue to embarrass the kuffar and the hypocrites ameen.
