Learning Leading To Obvious Truth

My name is Maryam KellyAnn Seely, I had studied Islam several months before converting. Traveling to Arabia was definitely the foundation for my conversion to Islam. I am originally from North America, a place that openly scrutinizes Islam. When I arrived in the gulf region I was so curious about the way people were living, it was so foreign to me. I had so many questions.. Why are woman covering? Who is prophet Mohammed (SAS)? Why are they praying 5 times a day? Everyone around me was so friendly and willing to help me answer these questions. The more I

The Quranic Rule on evil plots!

It is quite essential to understand the rules Allah has revealed in his final message the Holy Quran. Those are given as a gift for mankind from the creator presenting fundamental guidelines to understand the cause & effect of every single step we -human beings – make while living this life. A person needs to comprehend the fact that these rules are applicable regardless of time or place until the Day of Judgment. This is stated in the Book of Creator very clearly to eliminate any sort of doubt may raise: {you will not find any change in the law

The perils of fatwa

  It is an unfortunate fact that a lot of people have deviated from the path of truth and righteousness, which is why they have fallen victim to sectarianism and fanaticism thereby undermining or destroying their religion, society and nation by issuing fatwas labelling people as disbelievers without their fatwa being supported by juristic evidence. Issuing fatwa without getting rid of bias and fanaticism is in fact a tribulation afflicting the nation owing to the deeds of the people themselves. If the people’s souls are pure and their deeds directed to Allah the Exalted they would not commit such an

The eternal truth in Islam

Unlike human beings Islam provides facts rather than theories and Allah the Exalted clearly stated them in the holy Quran. These facts include man’s relationship with God, the unseen, the Last Day. The holy Quran also provides solid facts involving man’s relationship with the past and the future as well his conceptions about the existence. Such are the Quranic facts upon which Muslims can rely and to which they submit their thoughts, being the words of God these facts are unchangeable as He is the one who knows the secrets of earth and heaven. When the unbelievers denied that the

The values of perseverance and self-reliance in Islam

Abstaining from work can only be blamed on Muslims rather than on Islam itself as it calls for perseverance and adherence to work, be it in this world or in the Hereafter. Allah the Exalted said in the holy Quran: (O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salat (prayer) on the day of Friday (Jumu’ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allah [Jumu’ah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salat (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing), that is better for you if you did but know. Then when the (Jumu’ah) Salat (prayer) is finished,

Post-Adultery and Post-Fornication Marriage (4)

SECTION TWO This is section two of our articles on post-fornication or post-adultery marriage. It is dedicated to demonstrating the evidence produced by those who hold the counter-idea – the impermissibility of the post-fornication or post-adultery marriage. The proponents of disallowing such marriages have based their evidence upon three sources: 1) Logic & Principles 2) Quran 3) Accounts narrated from the Sahaba Logic & Principles In this article, we will look at Logic & Principles, leaving the other two sources for future articles. By the word logic, it is meant what human mind can accept with conviction and satisfaction; and finally, people unanimously agree on it, or at least,

Post-Adultery and Post-Fornication Marriage (3)

INTRODUCTION This is the third article of the series. In the second article, we surveyed two of the accounts narrated from the Sahabas on the issue of post-adultery or post-fornication marriage. We proved therein that one of those accounts was inauthentic because of its narrator being unknown and the other was typically unacceptable because of being narrated by a weak and deceitful narrator – Muhammad bin Is-haq. Even though the account by Muhammad bin Is-haq was also narrated by others, and so to prove its unacceptability would require more explanation. Usually, the laws of the science of the Prophetic Traditions

Dire Knowledge: the new enemy of the nation

Knowledge in Islam has a big value and therefore the first message of verse revealed to the prophet Mohammed was to “ read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists)” (al- ‘Alaq: 96:1). But the question that we must ask in a time where there are many sources of knowledge, can Islamic knowledge be dire or fatal? With humility, yes it can. One of the many things that I have learned from our awesome scholar, Sheikh Hamood Al Sawafi, may Allah protect him, was the types of ignorance are simple and compound as stated by
