"Cool Islam" and Hadith revisions
2008-03-24 19:52:00 Medine is a Muslim rapper from Le Havre. At one time he wasn't such a cool dude. When he was younger he was on-the-fringes of a French society that he viewed as decadent. Not any more. Now Medine is finding a new way to dialogue, a new way to do business.Medine wants to take advantage of a free economy and liberal democracy to promote his talent and his message. But he hasn't sold out his Muslim heritage. He prays at the required times. He is devout. These days he is more interested in discovering common ground. He speaks of universal principles, rather than dogma. He's about reaching out.In France young Muslim women are stepping out in new ways also. A BBC article gives us a glimpse into the life of Zahya, as she shops in the area of the Gare du Nord in Paris. She's shopping for a traditional western-style white wedding dress. An imam will preside over the ceremony, but the rest of the wedding will be as western as her life in France.As Zayha puts it when speaking of her leisu...

Milad-un-Nabi
2008-03-20 06:22:00 The Celebration of the Birth of Prophet Muhammad PBUHThe Hijri date 12 Rabi Awwal (some say 09 Rabi Awwal) is one of twelve months in the Islamic calendar. This is the Islamic birth date of the holy Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h. He was born in 570 C.E.. and since the Islamic calendar is 354 days long, the Hijri date is pushed back up to 11 days each year. Muslims celebrate this occasion by holding Milad-un-Nabi (translated: birth of the prophet) functions and gatherings throughout the month of Rabi Awwal.The main thrust of these Milad-un-Nabi gatherings is to remember, observe, discuss and celebrate the advent of the birth and teachings of the holy Prophet Muhammad, p.b.u.h. Toronto is even home to an International Milad-un-Nabi conference which organizers have held every year for the past eight years. Speakers from all over the world have addressed large audiences here in Toronto for this conference. Various mosques and Muslim organizations will also hold their own celebrations at var...

Muslim Charter of Misrepresentation
2008-01-11 08:20:00 Thursday, January 10, 2008 saw the signing by representatives of 400 European Muslim organizations, of a Charter of European Muslim Understanding, whose text you may read at UpPompeii. The charter is the work of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe. Let us critically examine some critical provisions of the charter. Section 1, Article 5: [Emphasis added for clarity.]5. Islam has honoured human beings as stewards of the earth. This honour embraces all the children of Adam, both male and female, without discrimination. By virtue of this honour, human beings are to be protected from anything that is an affront to their dignity, is harmful to their mental faculties, is damaging to their health or which abuses their rights by exploiting their vulnerabilities. All human beings, male and female are equal, without discrimination. All are to be protected from affront to dignity and physical harm; their vulnerabilities are not to be exploited.

Tolerance Must Be Reciprocal
2007-12-02 09:37:00 Is Islam tolerant? What did Allah & Muhammad have to say on tolerance & related matters? [Emphasis added.] 3:19. Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islâm. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, then surely, Allâh is Swift in calling to account. 3:85. And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. 3:86. How shall Allâh guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and after they bore witness that the Messenger (Muhammad) is true and after clear proofs had come unto them? And Allâh guides not the people who are Zâliműn (polytheists and wrong-doers). 3:87. They are those whose recompense is that on them (rests) the Curse of Allâh, of the angels, and of all mankind. 3:110. You [true believers ...

Ramadan Hadith | the Prophet's blessed words
2007-09-18 16:34:00 Whoever fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. Whoever prays during the nights in Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. And he who passes Lailat al-Qadr (the Night of Power) in prayer with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven - (Bukhari, Muslim).Every action of the childrens of Adam is given manifold reward, each good deed receiving ten times its like, up to seven hundred times. Allah the Most High said, 'Except for fasting, for it is for Me and I will give recompense for it, he leaves off his desires and his food for Me.' for the fasting person there are two times of joy; a time when he breaks his fast and a time of joy when he meets his Lord. (Bukhari)The fast and the Qur'an are two intercessors for the servant of Allah on the Day of Resurrection. The fast will say: 'O Lord, I prevented him from his food and desires during the day. L...
Those who Fast will be Called from the Gate of al-Rayyaan
2007-09-12 12:31:00 From Islam Q&A, by Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid (http://www.islam-qa.com/)Prais-e be to Allaah.Firstly:Allaah has enjoined upon the Muslims fasting the month of Ramadaan, and He has promised a great reward to those who fast. Because the virtue of fasting is so great, Allaah has not specified the reward for it, rather He said ? in a hadeeth qudsi ??? except for fasting, for it is for Me, and I shall reward for it.?The virtues of the month of Ramadaan are many. For example, that which Allaah has promised those who fast, namely the gate of al-Rayyaan. This is the name which was narrated in the hadeeth whose authenticity is agreed upon. Sahl (may Allaah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:?In Paradise there is a gate called al-Rayyaan, through which those who used to fast will enter on the Day of Resurrection, and no one but they will enter it. It will be said, ?Where are those who fasted?? They will get up, and none will enter...

2007-08-08 13:24:00 "Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way.

Hadiths: Sayings of Muhammad (SAW)
2007-08-08 12:57:00 Definition of "hadith:"Hadiths are regarded as a narration on the Sunnah (lived example) of Muhammad (SAW).M.M. Azami formally defines "hadith" as follows:"According to Muhaddithiin [scholars of hadith] it stands for 'what was transmitted on the authority of the Prophet, his deeds, sayings, tacit approval, or description of his sifaat (features) meaning his physical appearance. However, physical appearance of the Prophet is not included in the definition used by the jurists.' ""Thus hadith literature means the literature which consists of the narrations of the life of the Prophet and the things approved by him. However, the term was used sometimes in much broader sense to cover the narrations about the Companions [of the Prophet] and Successors [to the Companions] as well."The Qur'an says:"And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, leave it. And fear Allah: truly Allah is severe in punishment." The Messenger refers here to the Prophet Muhammad. Th...
