Ramadan

My opinion:
I don't mind if he/she is a rock guitar player, or one who is not wearing Hijab, or a professional European footballer who wears shorts, or one who does not grow beard, or one who has different view on Quranic interpretations or has totally different life styles, as long as...

1. As long as he/she does not betray/slander other Muslims.
2. As long as he/she does not give support to other religions to go against Islam.
3. As long as he/she give full support in terms of financial or effort, or atleast zakat & fitrah to the funds for the development of ummah & Islam.

What ever he thinks & practice, or levels of iman he might have, that's his own personal relations/things with God.. as He is the only one to judge a person.

I'm currently a student who does not get much sleep at night and have a terrible habit of not getting up to pray Fajir that I am trying to change. I also feel bad waking up my roommate so early in the morning.

Is it permissible to pray Qada for Fajir when I wake up, or is there no good reason for Qada? If so, can I pray Qada before I pray Duhur or is it too late?

I'm honestly so confused about the issue of music. There are so many who say it's haram and then there are scholars who say it's acceptable. What's your opinion?

Dear brothers & sisters,

I have different views on:-

1. Music. I say, ok with limitations.

2. Hijab. I say encouraged, not compulsory.

3. Riba. I say Haram.

But lending money/currency is permitted, at higher Price /Real Value depending on the durations.

Example: Both parties agreed to lend/borrow a '2 year money' at price/value of USD110. On the day of agreement, The akad takes place and the lender give a currency/piece of paper that has a non-significant-printed-Nominal Value-of-USD100 to the borrower.

I say the transaction is NOT riba. It is HALAL.


I pay zakat, I pray, I respect others, do welfare & charity, put all my effort for the best of my family, relatives & the ummah.

Would I be cast into hellfire for those different views on interpretations & understanding of Quranic messages compared to your good selves & your respected imams?

Are you keen to pray the the five prayers at "Masjid" ??!!

**as for me, my father, Hamdulliah, is so keen to pray them at Masjid...........and sometimes, during Fajr prayers, if he's not able to wake up -because of being tired from job- we insist to wake him up, and pray there, so he won't miss such "reward"/ "Thawaab" :-)

My wish is that my future Hubby inshaa Allah is keen to pray them at Masjid :-)

btw, are you girls also keen that your parent or husband go to pray at Masjid ??!!

salam
i have to make a project for my 'economics' course and i want to avail this oppertunity to spread the word of Allah and want to tell people about interest and why it is haram.i have researched from various books Alhamdolillah,and i want you people to contribute to this,remember your contribution will be rewarded by Allah.

i want more info regarding various logical reasons islam and ulemas have given to tell why interest is haram.please share the information or its link.

i also want some info regarding those fatwas that try to spread this misconception among the muslims that it is impossible to stay away from interest in this modern time so it is allowed for a muslim(Na'uzubillah)

i want to tell as much as i can to my colleagues about this topic because people are ignorant about interest,that is why i want to gather as much detail as possible so therefore i ask you to help me to spread the knowledge of Islam among people and Inshallah bring a +ve change in their lives.

Salaam fellow Muslims,

a question about Muslim weddings. I know they are different depending on where you're from, so tell me what is a typical Muslim wedding like where you come from?
Where I come from, they are very similar to a hindu wedding ceremony. This includes booking a grand venue, posh cars, lots of dressing up, music, dancing and the bride sitting in a 'doli' (click on the link if you don't know what a doli is)
http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0Je5mbbEzVHGoABmkCjzbkF/SIG=128ti9e8t/EXP=1194747227/**http%3A//www.flickr.com/photos/65521773@N00/115168910/
Personally I don't like all this because it has nothing to do with Islam. It is all based on a hindu wedding ceremony. Why are we copying non believers?? It's not right. If it was up to me, I would be happy to have a simple Nikkah ceremony, keep it all short, sweet and ISLAMIC.

Asalaamualaikum,

you may have seen the question about wearing a hijab which I posted a couple of days ago. Since then I decided I wanna go for it and wear one. But now I have a problem. My mum's belief is that a lady should always be dressed up, wear make up, wear jewelry etc and wear "short, pretty" clothes to keep her husband happy. I was gonna discuss with her, the fact that I wanna wear the hijab but after hearing this, I already know her answer...she wont allow me to wear it. But I WANT TO WEAR IT FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH SWT. How can I convince her to let me wear it? I am more concerned with pleasing my Lord than any man.

combined the two ideas of both religions and added in some of his own thoughts to create the Qu'ran?

This is what it says in this book my parents have at home that compares Christianity to other religions {they are christian}
Because of this book, that is what they think about Islam, and that Jinnah is a place of sensual pleasure, which is all wrong. But what actual prove can I give them that will help me argue this? ( I'd like to note that I DO NOT believe this, but I want to see if there is ACTUAL proof out there that helps debunk this lie)

I was just wondering what everyones views are about teaching the dangers of Drug and Alcohol abuse in Islamic culture.
Do you feel that the Masjid offers enough information for youths about drugs and how they look(especially in countries where drug use is prevalent)?
Do you feel Islamic Communities offer adequate treatment programs?
Do you feel enough is being done to discourage the use of drugs? Such as education?


I know some will say why would you need to know about drugs when your a Muslim, I just want to say I have worked with youths who have mistakenly or had been tricked into taken some type of drug because they actually were unaware it was a drug...

Assalaam Alaykum

I started a job in Islamic school and was put on trail to see whether I was suited to it. Alhamdulillah they agreed I was. However the head wanted me to work 5 days but I cannot as I am at uni on Friday (doing my degree). He asked me to drop my degree so I could work there full time. I explained I couldn't. He then had a word with the teacher and said it may not be possible for her to have the job.

So I thought Alhamdulillah it doesn't matter. So I didn't turn up the next day (as I needed to look for another job as it is linked with my degree) yet the teacher said the head is upset you didn't come in, he can't beleive you did that... I was shocked as I didnt do anything worng. I misunderstood the situation and assumed he was going to tell me to leave.

I rung and texted the head apologizing, yet he hasn't got back to me. Th teacher really needs me there but I dont want to go till it is cleared with the head. What should I do? Leave it how it is or ring again?

Alright, since this place obviously isn't for Ramadan questions, I'd like to take this opportunity to actually learn something.

1.
As a Muslim (I think I'm in the right place?), what are your personal thoughts on the Burqa? What is your opinion on the "l'affaire du voile" (Veil contreversy in France)

2.
What are some scriptural references for veils and women's rights?

3.
What do you think of "modern" music, particularly rap or "rock 'n roll"?

4.
Do you think Muslims in the upper ranks of society in the Middle East have deviated from the true teachings of Islam (whatever they may be?) on issues such as women's education, state religion etc.

5.
What do you think of Jews and Christians - "long-lost cousins", "complete strangers" or "neighbour that you really don't like so you build a very tall fence and then the city tells you to take it down"?

Enlighten me?

I ussualey forget that death could be anytime. BUt sometimes on those sleepless nights I think that one day I'll be 6 ft under.
i think th ething that scares me most about death and th egrave is not just th epunishment. The fact that i have to face it alone in a dark grave. Sometime si cry because I hate being alone. But sometimes i think that Im going to go to jannah but then i dont really know. How bout if i go to hell.
i mean everyone has plans for th efuture. But they dont know wat will happen.
The question is wat can i do to stop being scared of death? i know its painful to die and leave all ur loved ones because even the prophet said truley death brings agony when he died. And he was th eRASUL!! SO how can we get over th efeeling of this world and think more of the here after? How can we be prepared for death whenever it comes. How can we be joyous of dieing and meeting our Lord?
jazakallah
Hope I see u all in jannah!!!

Salaam,
I have been considering wearing a hijab for some time now but I'm still a little unsure. Atm, I wear indian/pakistani type tunic and trousers with head scarf but my hair is not fully covered. I have seriously been considering wearing the hijab but as you may have read from my previous question, my family aren't exactly...supportive. I want to cover myself properly for the sake of Allah but I don't know how my family will take this. What shall I do? Any advice would be great, thanks!

for me to be interested in my religion??? Well is it??? Sorry if I'm sounding annoyed but the fact is I AM annoyed. I am a Muslim (Alhumdulillah), my purpose in life is to worship my Lord. I do my level best to pray Salat 5 times daily, I recite Quran, I like learning about Islam etc, but some members of my family make fun of me. Sometimes if it's almost time for Salat, I don't go shopping because to me, Salat is more important than shopping and besides it doesn't take long, unlike shopping does. If I'm out, I'll make an effort to pray Salat if I have wudu and if I can find a suitable place. I try never to miss Salat, but if for some unavoidable reason I do miss it, I always make up for it. I always wake up for Fajr. Since the last couple of years I've made it my aim to recite the entire Quran at least once a year by Ramadan. I enjoy learning about Islam. But some of my family make fun of me for taking my religion so seriously. Sometimes if I don't wanna go out cuz it's time for Salat
