For freza - concerning whether Muhammad, pbuh, admitted his shortcomings/sins and prayed for forgiveness: ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, reported: When Allah’s Messenger [SAWS] occupied himself in the prayer at night, he observed it with such a extended qiyam (posture of standing) until hi...

Shafique, so you only believe in Quran and choose the hadith that personally suits you or seems reasonable to you? or do you believe in a series of hadith that is defined genuine by a religious figure like a cleric or a famous scholar? Yes - I believe Quran is 100% word of God, the Sunnah (practice...

I have heard it argued that many of the differences between Shia and Sunni practices of Islam originate from Jewish and Zorastrian traditions. I'll name two prominent ones: 1. the notion of a priesthood/kingship passed on from father to son 2. some of the dietary laws - eg not eating fish without sc...

shafique

Now that it has a thread of its own, I too would be interested in the research into these Hadith. The writer of the article calls the Quran 'a magical trick' that Muhammad, pbuh, kept up his sleeve. He also states he used to be a Muslim. I also note that he alleges that Aisha was a strong advocate o...

OK - I could not resist a quick Google. Interestingly, the top article that came out was: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,21805283-663,00.html It says that the Dr Attya was suspended by the august institution of Al Azar university and that he recanted his fatwa. It is a bit strange th...

ebonics - this article has more detail: http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=ia&ID=IA35507 It details Dr Attiya's retraction and also documents why the Hadith/Fatwa goes against the Quran: Dr. Abd Al-Fatah Asaker, who studies Muslim tradition, denied the validity of the hadit...

shafique

but it does admit, that the hadith is in fact ACCURATE it is not made up- and that muhammad did say such words....... going against his own quran, according to you.. i actually find it baffling, that i used that same link to air it out a few months back, but you dismissed it as rubbish, now you're ...

shafique

keyword, claiming.... A guy makes a stupid fatwa, a guy retracts stupid fatwa. Scholars call fatwa stupid. Stupid affair widely reported. Stupid fatwa goes against Quran and common sense. Fatwa issuer told to stop being stupid. Whole affair shows why Hadith should be treated with caution and not bl...

i may add that the collection is from sahih muslim, out of all sahihs.. ill let people research just how accurate is the compilation of sahih muslim's hadiths - and make their mind up. i appreciate you trying to bum-rush my argument shafique, but unfortunatly so far you're not doing a great job in ...

shafique

Told you there were wierd hadith out there! :lol: People do invent the strangest things - like having us believe that a 'son of God' would curse a fig tree for not having any fruit (when it was not fig season)! (Sorry, could not resist that one). But seriously, many hadith relating to Aisha need to ...

shafique

But seriously, many hadith relating to Aisha need to be examined carefully - she was a hate figure amongst some Muslims and there are many defamatory hadith about her. Cheers, Shafique so is it safe to assume that the last hadith you quoted of aisha isnt accurate? i raise the question again, what e...

shafique

on the above topic of compulsory hijab raised by freza an old muslim politician in jordan made the claim that the hijab was not what we know as the hijab today.... but merely a "hajeb" or a curtain, where the woman stands behind, when talking to a stranger... he continued to say that that...

shafique

but I believe that it's a tradition (to some) that kids even if not relatives but breast fed by the same wet nurse become something like relatives? I know this to be a Jewish tradition, donot know about Islam. In Jewish tradition there is the so called menateket (the female giver) who breast feads ...

he criticised people who claim it is a FAREEDA for the hejab. - ie it is a must.

Then, I agree with what he said. Top man!

ok, so as a Sunni Muslim you are free to choose which religious figure to follow, even if he is from another sect. and then you must personally believe that the practice of Islam (following Quran, sunnah and hadith) is the best way of life in 2008? Don't you think that Islam relies heavily on a sin...

Here is a quote from a person who has good knowledge with classical arabic. Qn: Nikah is a vulgar word? Ans: The vulgar word is NAIK and it is derived from the root N-Y-K and it means “****ing”. I apologize for that. Nikah is derived from N-K-Ha and it means s.e.x or s.e.x within the legal boundari...

shafique

I'm still with the scholar that does not think the Hadith about Salim was valid - as it contradicts the Quran. It appears to me that Al-Azhar had to try and save face when the head of Hadith made the fatwa on the basis that the Hadith is valid - and they could not come out and say the obvious - that...

shafique

I guess I am with the minority of scholars then. :) Also, my understanding is that Bukhari and Muslim allowed Hadith with strong string of narrations, but that even these contained false Hadith - for example people may have mis-remembered. The over-riding criterion for me is the Hadith which says th...

shafique

Re: You ask why should anyone believe the Quran's version of events over the Bible. It comes down to choice. wow! I would say it comes down to a number of thing including tradition but you can NOT ignored the factoids and the LOGIC. Too choose to ignore facts is to choose ignorance and one has to w...

shafique

what nucleus posted sounds accurate enough, only nika in the vulgur sense is derived from the one used in the quran... not from a different root word. the quran definatly never used the first one in its slang term, i never claimed so. ebonics - you said that 'neek' was a slang word and was derived ...

shafique

The wives of the Messenger [saw] have a unanimous agreement that the case was peculiar with Salim, and have denied the generalization. As such, was the ruling of the overwhelming majority of scholars. do you know that some people and sects practice this today? (in very backward areas) i fail to see...

shafique

firstly, i didnt say anything about entihoo and my first statement i still maintain is correct, it doesnt come from a different word, and i am certain of what im saying. Ok, let us look at your first statement (which was talking about v 4.3): do you knwo what the arabic version says shafique? "...

shafique

But for the record, I don't believe these are true Hadith. Cheers, Shafique habib does, so does sahih muslim, and the azhar. thats good enough for me :) i should quote freza asking you do you ever step out and look in... because in this case, you're most definatly in denial. Habib says that a minor...

shafique

who doesnt. Christians could be wrong. Muslims could be wrong. answer to that is simple, i follow and believe in the one that is alive here & now, and beat death twice... the one that lived a pure life from start to finish. the other is dead, in a grave, and hardly free of sin. choice was never...

shafique

so instead of f..k replace that with penetrate... Why skirt around the issue - it means to marry, and have legal s.e.x. It does not mean 'f...k'. Therefore your original statement is wrong. really achieves the same result, its still beyond me why zawag isnt used. Groundhog day! S.e.x is not shamefu...

shafique

No problem ebonics. I think there is enough material above for people to make up their own minds.

I'm happy to move on to other topics.

cheers,

shafique

And yet you abandoned Christianity and don't believe in following all the teachings of the Coptic Church. that part, is totally, none of your concern or business. i already stated i believe in jesus, but not religion as we know it today. I don't know you from Adam - but you volunteered the informat...

Because if you don't it gets displayed as 'love' - see s.e.x and sex.

shafique

Because if you don't it gets displayed as 'love' - see s.e.x and love. Yeah, buy why? Is the word s.e.x. offensive or insulting? Why can´t we use it? It is a normal word no? Also used in the Quran. That´s what a main portion of this thread is about. S.e.x.ual intercourse is supposed to be non-offen...

This caught my eye in this week's economist - it sums up the situation very well! Enjoy.
