Someone to talk to

Assalamu Alaikum- 

just going to free write because that's what I am feeling right now

There must be someone that I can talk to

but my mind sometimes just draws a blank

and all the times I held it in '

carrying my feelings to my body's bank

I tried to start, to make conversation

but rejection led me astray

as much as I try to keep it in

these sinking feelings never go away

I feel like I never win

You would think my thoughts would grow wild with aggravation

or my tongue spilling out it's lingering  temptation

the words held inside so tight

and this heart so full of isolation

I will conquer this plight

moving on

and let my prayers take flight

I am wrong, so wrong, too wrong

but I will make it right

I am strong, so strong, too strong

I need to fight

Ya Rabb,  Ya Rabbi

I know  You hear me

take this pain from me

Ya Rabb,, Ya Rabbi

I don't know why I'm always looking

I've tried so hard to find a friend

but I'm lost, so lost 

I know it's not the end

let me be content in You

Ya Rabb, Ya Rabbi

all these confused feelings

Ya Rabb Ya Rabbi

calm me, grant me peace

clear my heart from travesty

clear my mind of everything

fill me with Your love

Ya Rabb, Ya Rabbi

La Illaha ill Allah

SubhanAllah SubhanAllah

I don't even care if this makes sense- I just really needed to write down how I was feeling.

Question of hijab. Supression or Liberation: An article feat video

"Why do Muslim women have to cover their heads?" This question is one which is asked by Muslim and non-Muslim alike. For many women it is the truest test of being a Muslim.

The answer to the question is very simple - Muslim women observe HIJAB (covering the head and the body) because Allah has told them to do so.

"O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their outer garments around them (when they go out or are among men). That is better in order that they may be known (to be Muslims) and not annoyed..." [Noble Quran 33:59]

Other secondary reasons include the requirement for modesty in both men and women. Both will then be evaluated for intelligence and skills instead of looks and sexuality. An Iranian school girl is quoted as saying, "We want to stop men from treating us like sex objects, as they have always done. We want them to ignore our appearance and to be attentive to our personalities and mind. We want them to take us seriously and treat us as equals and not just chase us around for our bodies and physical looks." A Muslim woman who covers her head is making a statement about her identity. Anyone who sees her will know that she is a Muslim and has a good moral character. Many Muslim women who cover are filled with dignity and self esteem; they are pleased to be identified as a Muslim woman. As a chaste, modest, pure woman, she does not want her sexuality to enter into interactions with men in the smallest degree. A woman who covers herself is concealing her sexuality but allowing her femininity to be brought out.

The question of Hijab for Muslim women has been a controversy for centuries and will probably continue for many more. Some learned people do not consider the subject open to discussion and consider that covering the face is required, while a majority are of the opinion that it is not required. A middle line position is taken by some who claim that the instructions are vague and open to individual discretion depending on the situation. The wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were required to cover their faces so that men would not think of them in sexual terms since they were the "Mothers of the Believers," but this requirement was not extended to other women.

The word "Hijab" comes from the Arabic word "hajaba" meaning to hide from view or conceal. In the present time, the context of Hijab is the modest covering of a Muslim woman. The question now is what is the extent of the covering? The Quran says:

"Say to the believing man that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them; and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands..." [Noble Quran 24:30-31]

These verses from the Quran contain two main injunctions:

A woman should not show her beauty or adornments except what appears by uncontrolled factors such as the wind blowing her clothes, and

the head covers should be drawn so as to cover the hair, the neck and the bosom.

Islam has no fixed standard as to the style of dress or type of clothing that Muslims must wear. However, some requirements must be met. The first of these requirements is the parts of the body which must be covered. Islam has two sources for guidance and rulings: first, the Quran, the revealed word of Allah and secondly, the Hadith or the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) who was chosen by Allah to be the role model for mankind. The following is a Tradition of the Prophet:

"Ayshah reported that Asma' the daughter of Abu Bakr came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while wearing thin clothing. He approached her and said: 'O Asma'! When a girl reaches the menstrual age, it is not properthat anything should remain exposed except this and this. He pointed to theface and hands." [Abu Dawud]

The second requirement is looseness. The clothing must be loose enough so as not to describe the shape of the woman's body. One desirable way to hide the shape of the body is to wear a cloak over other clothes. However, if the clothing is loose enough, an outer garment is not necessary. Thickness is the third requirement. The clothing must be thick enough so as not to show the color of the skin it covers or the shape of the body. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) stated that in later generations of his Ummah there would be

"women who would be dressed but naked and on top of their heads (what looks like) camel humps. Curse them for they are truly cursed." [Muslim]

Another requirement is an over-all dignified appearance. The clothing should not attract men's attention to the woman. It should not be shiny and flashy so that everyone notices the dress and the woman. In addition there are other requirements:

Women must not dress so as to appear as men.

"Ibn Abbas narrated: 'The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the men who appear like women and the women who appear like men.'" [Bukhari]

Women should not dress in a way similar to the unbelievers.

The clothing should be modest, not excessively fancy and also not excessively ragged to gain others admiration or sympathy.

Often forgotten is the fact that modern Western dress is a new invention. Looking at the clothing of women as recently as seventy years ago, we see clothing similar to Hijab. These active and hard-working women of the West were not inhibited by their clothing which consisted of long, full dresses and various types of head covering. Muslim women who wear Hijab do not find it impractical or interfering with their activities in all levels and walks of life. Hijab is not merely a covering dress but more importantly, it is behavior, manners, speech and appearance in public. Dress is only one facet of the total being. The basic requirement of the Muslim woman's dress apply to the Muslim man's clothing with the difference being mainly in degree. Modesty requires that the area between the navel and the knee be covered in front of all people except the wife. The clothing of men should not be like the dress of women, nor should it be tight or provocative. A Muslim should dress to show his identity as a Muslim. Men are not allowed to wear gold or silk. However, both are allowed for women.

For both men and women, clothing requirements are not meant to be a restriction but rather a way in which society will function in a proper, Islamic manner.

I Found This And I Had To Post

In the Quran, chapter 8, Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War) it reads:
"And obey Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) and do not quarrel among yourselves lest (growing disunited and weak) you become timid and your impact (power) loses ground (before your enemy). So be steadfast. Surely Allah is with those who are steadfast."(8:46)

"People fall into arguments when they have different authorities or when their desire is the ultimate factor that shapes their views and ideas. When people obey only God and His messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him), the main cause of dispute disappears.
Having different views is never a cause of dispute and conflict. What causes conflict is desire, making everyone insist that his view is the one to follow, even when it appears to be wrong. It is when that particular group of people mass produces their labels with the desire to convert everything else, that stubbornly attaches more importance to their being 'right', then listening to others or even removing other prejudices.

Let people choose their own labels if they wish to do so. There is no major harm in labels, in names. There is a danger in trying to place self-fulfilling prophecies on every child or walling up opportunities for discussion, closing up ideas and building bridges between everyone. The world is not a box. Nor does it need a brandishing title. And yes, I am just a Muslim. I'm sorry."

THANKS!!

Takfeer Of Iblis

cited from: http://www.quranclub.net



Have you ever thoroughly thought about why and when did Iblees become a Kaafir?* First we have to establish from the Qur'aan that he indeed is a Kaafir. Allaah describes him as such in Surah al-Baqarah:

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ اسْجُدُواْ لآدَمَ فَسَجَدُواْ إِلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى وَاسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ

"And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves before Adam.". And they prostrated except Iblîs, he refused and was proud and was one of the disbelievers."**

Now let us think about the reason of his disbelief. If we say that he is a disbeliever just because he disobeyed Allaah, then every single human being will also be a disbeliever. If it is because he did not repent, we say that even major sins (excpet for Shirk) do not make one a disbeliever and that is our 'Aqeedah. It is the Khawaarij who said (and the neo-s may still say) that major sins make one a disbeliever but this is is not our 'Aqeedah.

Some may say he became a Kaafir because he thought himself superior to Aadam. Superficially, this answer is also insufficient because I think that everybody may feel superior to somebody else even if it be once in their life. The reason indeed may lie in his feeling of superiority to Aadam not due to the feeling itself but what it implied at that moment.

Allaah had commanded the angels ('alayhym as salaam) and Iblees to bow down to Aadam. When Iblees refused to do so, his justification was that he was superior to Aadam. But what did this really imply? It implied that Iblees was basically saying to Allaah that He made a mistake in asking Iblees to prostrate to somebody whom Iblees thought was lower than himself, ta'aalaa Allaahu 'an thalika. When he [i.e. Iblees] attributed a mistake to Allaah and placed his wisdom and thinking higher, that, I believe, was the turning point of his disbelief. He then made it worse by not repenting and also putting forth a challenge that he will misguide every human being on earth except that he won't be able to sway the believers.

This is an important issue of 'Aqeedah that many people are not aware of today. This same principle applies to every ruling that is made by Allaah. If somebody doesn't pray, then their reason determines whether they have indeed apostated or not. If they are not praying because they are lazy but still admit that praying is obligatory, then we cannot say that they have become disbelievers; rather we say that they are committing a major sin and they have no guarantee with Allaah. If, however, and this seems to be more common in my city, they do not pray because they believe that praying is not necessary although they know it has been commanded by Allaah, then they are indeed doing the same thing that Iblees did.

And Allaah knows best.

Showing Off Fatwa: Islamonline.net

Sincerity is the essence of worshipping Almighty Allah. However, it is easier said than done. Man is always tempted to be praised and commended. Gaining favor with people for being religious and pious, and thus, enjoying their trust and respect, drives many people to talk about their acts of worship and use them as means of publicity.

Answering this question, Sheikh M. S. Al-Munajjid, a prominent Saudi Muslim lecturer and author, said:

If a person wants to stop himself from showing off, he has to do the following things to be rid of this problem:

1. Be always mindful that Almighty Allah is ever watchful over His servants: This is the status of ihsan which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned to Jibreel (peace be upon him), defining it as “to worship Allah as if you can see Him, and even though you cannot see Him, He can see you.” (Muslim)

When a person feels that Almighty Allah is always watching him, what other people think will become insignificant, and this will make him respect and fear Almighty Allah alone.

2. Seeking the help of Allah to rid himself of the habit of showing off: Almighty Allah says that the believers should say: (You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help.) (Al-Fatihah 1:5) One of the things that will be of benefit in this matter is seeking the help of Almighty Allah and calling upon Him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O people, beware of shirk, for it is more subtle than the footsteps of an ant." The one whom Almighty Allah willed should speak, said to him, “How can we beware of it when it is more subtle than the footsteps of an ant, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Say, Allaahumma innaa na`oodhu bika min an nushrika bika shay’an na`lamuhu wa nastaghfiruka limaa laa na`lam (O Allah, we seek refuge with You from knowingly associating anything with You, and we seek Your forgiveness for that which we do unknowingly).” (Ahmad)

3. Knowing the consequences of showing off and how it will be judged in the Hereafter: Not knowing this leads a person to fall into this sin or persisting in it. The person should realize that showing off destroys all his actions (i.e., cancels out the reward), and that it incurs the wrath of Almighty Allah. The wise person does not waste his energy in doing things that do not bring any reward, let alone deeds that incur the wrath and anger of Almighty Allah.

One of the greatest hadiths concerning the punishment in the Hereafter of those who show off is the following, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“When the Day of Resurrection comes, Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, will come to judge between His slaves, and every nation will be kneeling. The first ones to be called forth will be a man who learned the Qur’an by heart, a man who fought for the sake of Allah, and a man who had a lot of wealth. Allah will say to the Qur’an-reader, ‘Did I not teach you that which I revealed to My Messenger?’ He will say, ‘Yes, O Lord.’ He will say, ‘What did you do with that which I taught you?’ He will say, ‘I used to read it night and day.’ Allah will say to him, ‘You have lied,’ and the angels will say to him, ‘You have lied.’ Allah will say, ‘Rather you wanted it to be said that so and so is a reader of the Qur’an, and that is what was said.’ Then the wealthy man will be brought forth, and Allah will say to him, ‘Did I not give you ample provision so that I did not leave you in need of anybody?’ He will say, ‘Yes, O Lord.’ He will say, ‘What did you do with that which I gave you?’ He will say, ‘I used to keep the ties of kinship and give in charity.’ Allah will say to him, ‘You have lied,’ and the angels will say to him, ‘You have lied.’ Allah will say, ‘Rather you wanted it to be said that so and so is generous, and that is what was said.’ Then the one who was killed for the sake of Allah will be brought forth and Allah will say to him, ‘Why were you killed?’ He will say, ‘I was commanded to fight in Jihad for Your sake, so I fought until I was killed.’ Allah will say to him, ‘You have lied,’ and the angels will say to him, ‘You have lied.’ Allah will say, ‘You wanted it to be said that so and so was courageous, and that is what was said.’” Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) struck my knee, and said, “O Abu Hurairah, these three are the first of the creation of Allah who will be dragged into the Fire on the Day of Resurrection.” (Al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Hibban, and Ibn Khuzaymah)

4. Thinking about the punishment in this world for showing off: Just as there will be a punishment in the Hereafter for showing off, there is also a punishment for it in this world, which is that Allah will expose him and make his bad intentions known to others. This is one of the interpretations of the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “Whoever shows off, Allah will expose him.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Ibn Hajar said: Al-Khattabi said that this means: Whoever does something that is not sincerely for the sake of Allah, merely wanting people to see him and hear him, will be punished for that – Allah will expose him and make known what he is concealing.

5. Concealing worship and not making a display of it: The further away a person gets from places where his worship can be seen, the safer he is from showing off. Whoever looks for places where people gather, Satan makes him keen to show off his worship so that they will praise him for it.

The acts of worship which should be hidden are those which are not obligatory or those in which it is not the Sunnah to do them openly, such as Qiyam Al-Layl, and giving charity. This does not apply to giving the Adhan, praying in congregation and other things which cannot and should not – according to Shari`ah – be hidden.

We ask Almighty Allah to make our words and deeds sincere, and to forgive us if we ever show off.

Approaching Non Moslems: Fatwa: islamonline.net

Approaching non-Muslims has to be in a courteous and delicate way; firstly to attract them and secondly to set a good example for Muslims. Moreover, the one who intends to argue with them has to be well-knowledgeable, otherwise he will fail in convincing them and will give a distorted image about Islam.

In his response to this question, Dr. Main Khalid Al-Qudah, a member of the Permanent Fatwa Committee and the Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America, said:

The best way to approach non-Muslims is to call them to the oneness of Allah (Exalted be He) and disclaim polytheism, and not to have partners with Him.

Allah Almighty says: (Say: O People of the Scripture!, Jews and Christians, come now to a word agreed upon between us and you, and it is, that we worship none but God and that we do not associate anything with Him, and do not take each other for lords, beside God and if they turn their backs, in rejection of God's Oneness, say, you to them: 'Bear witness that we have submitted?) (Al `Imran 3: 64)

Also, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Mu`adh ibn Jabal to Yemen, he advised him saying: You will approach the people of the Scriptures, and that the first thing to start with is to call them to believe in the oneness of Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and His Prophet.

As of the infidels (those who do not attribute themselves to any of the Divine Religions) and atheists (those who deny the existence of God); introducing Allah to them as the only creator, maintainer, and sustainer of the whole universe is the best approach. This could be done by emphasizing the perfection of creating the heavens and the earth, the variety in all creatures, the diversity of human beings, etc. Once they recognize His ultimate power and the perfection of His creation, the next step is to call them for worshipping Him alone because He is the only One worthy of worship because of the aforementioned facts. A part of that is to believe in all the prophets and messengers He sent to guide humanity to the right path, including Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

In case the above did not work out, especially with the people of the Scriptures because they follow what is written in their Scriptures, then arguing with them in a good way is the second step. Almighty Allah says: (And do not dispute with the People of the Scripture but in the most virtuous way, except for the aggressive people amongst them, and say; we believe in what has been revealed to us and revealed to you. Our God and your God is the same, and to Him we submit?) (Al-`Ankabut 29:46)

Argument should focus on discussing the authenticity of the current Scriptures they already have because of the long period of time between the revelation of these Scriptures and the beginning of their documentation, consequently, questioning the genuineness of what is written therein.

In addition, the fact that current Christians have more than one Bible, although what was reveled to Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) was only one Bible, should be highlighted. The original language of the Scriptures was not Arabic or English. So, the possibility of changing the meaning is highly expected, leave a side the accuracy of the translation itself.

You may refer to the great effort of Sheikh Ahmad Dedat (may Allah have mercy on his soul) in this field. Another expert in interfaith dialogue and comparative Religions studies is Dr. Jamal Badawi, may Allah bless him and his effort. You may benefit from his books too.

What Nullifies Ones Faith? Fatwa: Islamonline.net

Image via Wikipedia

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Dear brother in Islam, thanks for your question. May Allah safeguard us against the nullifiers of faith.

Beliefs dwell in the heart, but undeniably appear in one's practices. Thus, Iman (the Islamic faith) manifests itself in the Muslim's practices which usually reveal the degree of his faith. There are many inward and outward factors that contribute to its increase or decrease. Certain beliefs and acts contradict Islamic faith and thus a Muslim has to be aware of and totally estrange himself from being involved in them.

Responding to this question, AMJA online Jurisprudence Section, stated:

The nullifiers of faith (nawaqid al-iman) are those things that invalidate, falsify and negate it. Apostasy nullifies faith just as ablution (wudu') is nullified by ritual impurity.

The most important nullifiers of faith are:

1 – Associating partners with Allah in Lordship

2 – Associating partners with Allah in worship

3 – Associating partners with Allah in His Divine Names & Attributes

4 – Objecting to, looking down to or denial, rejection or making mockery of the rules of Shari`ah.

A person who nullifies his faith exits the fold of Islam, if he insists on his attitude after being informed and after the proof has been made clear to him.

Consequently, his marriage contract becomes annulled, and therefore, his wife becomes no longer lawful for him after his apostasy. If he dies on disbelief, all his deeds will be in vain as Allah the Most High said, (And whosoever of you turns back from his religion and dies as a disbeliever, the deeds of these people will be lost in this life and in the Hereafter, and they will be the dwellers of the Fire; they will abide therein forever.)(Al-Baqarah 2:217)

Moreover, his repentance will not be accepted once death has approached him, as Allah the Most High said, (Verily, for those who disbelieved after their belief, and then went on increasing in their disbelief – never will their repentance be accepted [because they repent only with their tongues, not with their hearts]. And they are those who are astray.)(Aal-Imran 3:90)

Furthermore, there is no inheritance between such a person and his Muslim family and relatives as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said; "A Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever, nor does a disbeliever inherit from a Muslim." (Bukhari and Muslim) He also deserves the Divinely-ordained punishment for the apostate if there is a Muslim state that applies such penalty.

The Prayer of the one who has nullified his faith is also invalid for the same reasons.

However, these aforementioned rules and consequences of nullifying the faith do not apply – as we have said – until the textual proofs has been made clear to the apostate, he has been asked to repent, the misconceptions which have driven him to nullify his faith have been removed, it has been checked that the conditions are applicable and there is absolutely nothing to prevent this specific person from being declared a disbeliever.

The factors preventing a specific Muslim from being declared a disbeliever are many. Among them are: ignorance, falling under compulsion, holding improper interpretation, error and lack of intent.

Furthermore, establishing the proof against him is quite relative. The proof may be established against one person but not against the other. It may be established by one person and not by the other. It is not necessary when the proof has been established against a particular person that it will automatically be established against each and every Muslim in the world.

The basic rule in terms of establishing the proof is that this should be done by someone in authority, such as a scholar qualified to make ijtihad, or an a Muslim ruler, such as a Shari`ah judge in Islamic societies, and the like.

It is necessary to be highly careful in this respect, for it is less serious for a Muslim to err in judging an apostate to be a Muslim than to err in expelling a Muslim from the fold of Islam.

Hob BiLaah SWT/ Love Of Allah SWT

Assalamu Alaikum All
I thought this was a nice poem. It didn't have a author's name, so I
don't know who wrote it. Inshallah ta'ala this reaches you in the
best way. and may Allah SWT reward you who spread knowledge of Islam,
love, and compassion for one another, and truly want for another as
you want for yourself

When I say, I am a Muslim,
I am not shouting "Down with the Christians and Jews."
I am whispering: I seek peace, and Islam is the path I choose.
When I say, I am a Muslim, I speak of this with pride.
And confess that sometimes I stumble, and need Allah to be my guide.

When I say, I am a Muslim, I know this makes me strong.
And in those times when I am weak, I pray to Allah for strength to
carry on.

When I say, I am a Muslim, I am not boasting of success.

I am acknowledging that Allah has rescued me and I can not ever repay
the dept. When I say, I am a Muslim, I am not claiming to be perfect.

My flaws are indeed visable, but Allah forgives, because His
followers are worth it.
When I say, I am a Muslim, it does not mean I'll never feel pain.
I still have my share of heartaches, which is why I invoke Allah's
name.
When I say, I am a Muslim, I do not wish to judge.
I have no such authority. My duty is to submit to Allah's all
encompassing love.
