Where have all the Muslims gone? Are my brothers and sisters fasting in peace in the privacy of their homes?

Question

Are Muslims following the rules of the fast and reading Quran and learning about the Good Deeds Quran commands, like feeding the poor in Ramadan, and showing gratitude to Allah for the Quran, and worshipping Allah alone?

PLease ask your scholars to produce ONE HONEST TRANSLATION of the Quran during their fast, insha Allah?

Salaam Muslims!

Bear in mind, insha Allah, that there are NO CHRISTIANS and NO JEWS and NO JESUS in the Quran.

NAZAARAA is Helpers, Yahuudi Is Penitents and Isa remains Isa in any language.

Jesus is one of a Trinity which is wholesale BLASPHEMY and an accusation against the mother and son of an incestuous relationship since the trinity holds that father and son are one in a conjoined triplet of man-made gods that attempts to include the Only True God as the holy spirit in this mystery-garbage of Trinitheism that is POLYTHEISM.

Purify Quran to purify your lives.

·“O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you even as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may learn self-restraint (ward off evil).
·(Fasting) for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the prescribed number from days later. For those who can afford it, is a ransom, the feeding of one that is needy, but whoso doth good of his own accord, it is better for him, and that ye fast it is better for you if ye did but know.
·Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Quran, as a Guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for Guidance and Judgement. So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month, should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill or on a journey, the prescribed period (should be made up) by days later. ALLAH intends every facility for you, He does not want to put you to difficulties, to complete the prescribed period and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance you shall be grateful.

The perfection of Islam prohibits risks, or further risks, to the health and safety of the Believer. One can reasonably understand this condition to be the effect of the journey on the individual rather than the distance or length of time spent on the journey since ALLAH intends that the fast be without difficulty, and as pure as the offering of the daily prayers. To ignore or to belittle the rules is to stray from the Path of Islam.

The fast continues outside of the month of Ramadan in order to make up for the fasts missed by illness or the journey, which doubles the reward for the one who fasts in the state of purification, since the missed fasts remain open for proper observation and the reward for obedience to the rules for illness or the journey have been adhered to by the Believer.

Ramadan is the month of Quran, not the month of Hadith.

Saudi Arabia is definitely not an Islamic country.

I dont believe in stories about the prophet splitting the moon. You wont see that in the Quran.

Quran is Islam while Hadith came about outside of Quran anmd does not hel today's Muslims.

Answer 1

“…………Then is it only a part of the Book that ye believe in, and do ye reject the rest?”……….” Al-Baqara [2:85]

If your answer is ‘yes’ please read the whole verse to know the consequences.

أَفَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِبَعْضِ الْكِتَابِ وَتَكْفُرُونَ بِبَعْضٍ فَمَا جَزَاء مَن يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ مِنكُمْ إِلاَّ خِزْيٌ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَى أَشَدِّ الْعَذَابِ وَمَا اللّهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ


Al-Baqara [2:85]

“…………….Then is it only a part of the Book that ye believe in, and do ye reject the rest? but what is the reward for those among you who behave like this but disgrace in this life?- and on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For Allah is not unmindful of what ye do.”


If your answer is ‘no’ please note that Allah also instructs us:

“….O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger,…”

An-Nisa [4:59]

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ أَطِيعُواْ اللّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ الرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي الأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ فَإِن تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلاً

4:59 O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those charged with authority among you. If ye differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe in Allah and the Last Day: That is best, and most suitable for final determination.


So from the above verse it is clear that both Qur’an and Hadeeth are Islam. While Qur’an is the message from Allah in Allah’s own words, Hadeeth is Allah’s message in the words of Muhammed the messenger of Allah.

Now regarding splitting of the moon The event is refered to in the Qur'an, in the Chapter of Al-Qamar 54:1

اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ

The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet Muhammad SAW to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon). (Al-Qamar 54:1)
.

Period of Revelation
The incident of the shaqq-al-Qamar (splitting of the moon) that has been mentioned in it, determines its period of revelation precisely. The traditionists and commentators are agreed that this incident took place at Mina in Makkah about five years before the Holy Prophet's hijrah to Madinah


One thing to be noted is that while the verses of the Qur'an cannot be altered and will ever remain in the original form, many miscreants through the ages have fabricated 'sayings' and published them in the name of 'hadeeth'. So one has to be careful and accept only those 'hadeeth' which are authentic.

Answer 2

As-Salaam Alaykum

Every Ramadan my faith and understanding goes to another level, the lies people say don't affect me much anymore, these years of my Islam, I desire to increase my knowledge in everything. I don't believe you can fully appeciate revelation without knowledge. Moreover, I think we will never be able to fully appeciate the Quran becasue their is so much to learn. Today I learn that Prophet Muhammad splitted the Moon for the Pagans by Allah's command (Sura 54).I pray that Allah will guide me and draw me close. I want to be one who is guided and sincere at heart. I have a long way to go, but I fear my Lord and pray that I stay on a path that is pleasing to him.
