Some people talk very bad about Muhammad ibn Abdulwahhab (rh). They accuse him, that he fought against the ottoman islamic empire and against the caliph , so he was an enemy of the muslims. This is their argument. Is this right? How could one fought against the amir of the muslims, even if the cali...

Mahatma Ghandi walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet became quite thick and hard. He also was quite a spiritual person. Even when he was not on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail. Furthermore, due to his diet, he had bad breath... He came to be know...

Even though I stay out of these discussions but I wonder: Since Prophet did not do anything unless advised by Allah thru Jibreel, Is it possible that he was not told do the same in Makkah, just wondering Br SBM, AS Actually Aya regarding advice was deliverd during Hajjatul Vida and not at Ghadeer. ...

A priest, a minister, and a rabbi are discussing how they divide their congregation's collection between money for personal use and money to be spent for God's work. The priest says, "I draw a circle on the ground, take all the money collected and throw it up in the air. Whatever lands in the c...

Let us not play these silly games. There is a reason why Imamat has been ridiculed and mocked for centuries. It is because of people like you. The evidence that you have presented has been disputed thoroughly. There is no point in rehashing it again. We need new evidence to prove the existence of a...

So, if my above post is correct, because it is not refuted, then no bohra is paying zakat, progressive or orthodox, as the amount collected has no mention of zakat in it. at the bottom you put a figure, never asked how much is zakat. payer is 100 percent sure that it is the tax to retain an active ...

I think most people here are confusing zakaat and vajebaat or using them interchangeably. Vajebaat, from vajib, means compulsory or ones duty or responsibility to do / fulfill. As such, zakaat is part of the vajebaat, but does not constitute the total amount of vajebaat. One needs to clearly state o...

How can the follower of the Sunnah be called an extremist when the Muslim is enjoined to follow it and take the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as his example? Criticizing the followers of the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and ...

Al-Bukhârî reports that ‘Umar – Allâh be pleased with him – came to the Black Stone (performing tawâf, circumambulation), kissed it, and said, “I know that you are a stone, you do not cause benefit or harm; and if it were not that I had seen Allâh’s Messenger – peace and blessings of Allâh be upon ...

So what you want KSA to spend money to spread dawoodi bohra beliefs?? I dont know how true the above reports are because we are trying to build a salafi mosque in vadodara and face severe lack of funds which is delaying this task since 4 yrs now, no saudi has yet helped us to build it, rather we ha...

the above fatwa is applicable to all muslims including KSA. There is a big battle going on between the clerics and the kings since decades, many of the salafi scholars have been sent to jail by the regime and many were killed.The kings have left the salafi\ wahhabi path long back! albeit not comple...
