Let me clear this:- Celebrating kite festival is no where related to hinduism, it is not practiced as a religious festival, it is a cultural thing, i have seen a lot of muslims who take part in this festival. Everything is not about religion, sometimes to live in harmony with other religious group ...

What is supposed to be so special about Mola na haath par nikah ?? Is it only the supposed " prestige" tag which comes with having your nikah performed by the highest office in place ? Or is it also about the self-assurance and supposed belief of attaining a successful and happy married li...

In a nutshell, lets look at the philosophy behind the decision and judgement of Imam Hussain in opting for shahadat of himself and his band of 72 as against accepting the authority of the name-sake muslim Yazeed who was the grand son of the most virulent enemy of the prophet of Islam, Abu Sufyan. Ab...

The question in this topic is a loud and staring one and since there are no logical answers available,it makes one to draw the inevitable conclusions. The very word Dai means one who does dawah which is propagation or inviting people to our way of thought .And since we are the only chosen ones for h...

Two questions :- First question to all those who dispute the Ghadeer qum declaration : The holy prophet was entrusted by God to teach mankind on every minute aspect of Imaan and amal getting into such nittie-gritties of everyday life like eating , sitting, drinking, sleeping,hygiene, greeting others...

These few gentlemen who have posted above deserve a standing ovation ! Their glee at the conclusions they have drawn indicates their abde leanings and also gives an insight into the under-developed functioning of the abde mind which does'nt take note of the basic first thing which we normally see w...

Hi brother Zulfiqar ! Its good to see you back . I am a bit surprised that you choose to hold yourself back at a time when theres a lot on the plate here too. Your comments and info would help one make some sense of the current situation. Stick on, now on. Monginis I guess is DB Londoner with his in...

Re: Sunan Abu Dawood, (Book #8, Hadith #1424): Narrated Ubayy ibn Ka'b: Al-hasan reported: Umar ibn al-Khattab gathered the people (in tarawih prayer) behind Ubayy ibn Ka'b (who led them) . He used to lead them for twenty days (during Ramadan, and would not recite the supplication except in the sec...

Can someone throw some light on the history of this institution ? When was it first instituted and what was its origin ? Is it the same as the "baith" which was compulsory to be given to the" khalifas" of early Islam ?

Smartly written, Smart. That pretty much looks to be the shape of things to come. Coupled with that is the dwindling growth ratio. My dad had 12 siblings, I have 5 and my son has none. And that being the state of the growth in general, one can imagine what numbers the following will be reduced to 50...

Its indeed ironical that even though theres no dearth of undisclosed sympathisers for "S"KQ among the mango men with scores of them in this forum itself and also with an astronomical one million + hits on his website , he is still struggling to show publicly even a semblance of a following...

Yippeee !!!! Bro AZ back at his hilarious best. Very refreshing presentation as usual. Lagey raho AZbhai !!!!!!!

This is one of the most boring websites ever. Its like an old black & white slow motion silent movie. Its like an empty referigerator which you keep opening time and again to find something but end up finding the same raw onions and potatoes. Looks like this is all they had in their kitty and su...

Bhai Taha , its "Wa aakhero daawana anil hamdo lillahe rabbil aalameen "

Guess Bohrabhai has been appointed to gently float the proposition around just like Arnab Goswami, Rajdeep Sardesai , Barkha Dutt et al surreptitiously did the job of launching the Modi as PM campaign in 2012 after the court verdict exonerated him.

Admin & friends, just curious to know wheres br AlZulfiqar ? I am not seeing any contributions from him since quite some time now. Could somebody throw some light or contact him and find out.

This year's vaaez and masjalis were reduced to a big farce with almost 75% of the time devoted to bewe moulas and only 25% to panjatan, hussain and karbala. Even the majlis was filled with recording of aaliqadr's bayaan decrying riba and asking for karzan-e-hasana contribution. The dasmi raat majlis...

That despite his status and seniority he has been sent to an insignificant place like secunderabad and the fact that he is there without a whimper proves that all is well and that we were all along looking for a black cat in a dark room which was not there !

Besides the above, you may someday wonder what other connection you missed out on the spiritual level. Thought fasting is a means of elevating the follower in the path of faith, means of strengthening the faith not weaken it. In your case if fasting is having reverse effects than to be cautious you...

It is disturbing to hear how head of our community Syedi Muffadal BS can ask a very progressive community to regress. While Malala Yousafai who took bullets on her life and found the courage to stand up to Talibans (worst of the worst in current Muslim Society) we have a leader who is asking women ...

Honestly, I don't give a rat's arse!! As long as I am living this wonderful life with complete wonder and awe why should I bother about some stupid man-made religion which over the centuries has only managed to imprison human-beings. Brother......na, ......Mister Like_minded , What a lingo ! Well, ...

Just curious as to who tops the list in notoriety the world over and whether such a hierarchy list ever been prepared by the critics and the observers. One is sure that the honours would be shared by hon'ble Jb.Abdeali , Jb.Syedul Khair, Jb.Kauser, Jb.Mudar, etc.etc. or maybe in that descending orde...

Human being : Very true ! Ramadan is a month of “Fi-Sabi-Lillah” but Kothar has made it “Fee-Sab-La” .. a sad PJ but sadly true ! Its decayed to a state where it seems like its ok if you forget to take the masalla but not the wallet. One wont be surprised if some day in the near future options are t...

Abdess Dear Bohra Spring, Incase you know Islam and some of the most important things said by Prophet Mohammed - There will be 72 sects in Islam and only 1 out of them will go to heaven and unfortunately for your and some of the jahils here - Its is Dawoodi Bohra who stands out all of you in every ...

Dear Mustar - Do u even know how they perform WUDU ?? The funniest part is these Sunnis/Wahabis etc belive Wudu is just like splashing water on some parts of the body and its just done by a few actions - They dont even really remove socks sometimes since they consider it as just action. And talking...

Bro AZ at his modest best. Modesty is a hallmark of the superlative.

The laws of sharia are to guide humans towards perfection. We have a tendency to accept laws which suit us or we are comfortable with, if it is difficult to follow or accept we try to rationlise it as out dated or not required. A person who wants to sincerely submit to Allah(swt) will try to observ...

The noble Quran is full of mind-boggling scientific facts on astronomy and the creation of the universe, biology and the origin of life, embryology, human physiology, physics, psychology, oceanology, etc.,etc. and the fact that these were recorded by an unlettered soul in a desert 1400 years ago is ...
