Thousands of Indian Muslims sign up to defend Iraq's shrines By Sruthi Gottipati | Reuters NEW DELHI: Thousands of Muslims in India have signed up to defend Iraq's holy shrines and, if need be, fight Sunni Islamist militants in the country where the civilian death toll from the Sunni insurgents' ad...

Bhai James, Are you for real ? You think that the Judge presiding over a declaratory suit gives a shit about hunting ? You have got to be trolling.If anything,the judge ought to declare the verdict in favor of Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS if he gets to see the similarities between Syedna Mohammed B...

Bro Pheonix, Ok so you say that Quran has explicitly mentioned to follow the prophet, So give me one authentic Hadith from the Prophet which prohibits hunting for sport. Don't give me one about cruelty to animals, because if we are arguing on compassionate grounds than we might all as well be vegans...

Bro fiate2000, I m referrring to the monetary value that is being levied on dawoodi bohra members by the kothar. Does anyone have definite answers to the questions that I have raised? If you are looking strictly in terms of kaffarah that needs to be given as per the kothar, then I think that is incl...

This part is misunderstood I guess. Let me quote myself, I am yet to see a pic where Maula poses with the elephant that was hunted (at least I haven't seen it as yet). The reason is that, not only is the act legally prohibited but also that it is religiously prohibited. May be, a religious leader cl...

Bro unhappybohra,

You just haven't understood my post. Nevermind.

Br Pheonix, I would want to answer that or you may end up believing that since there is no ayah , it is permissible to hunt. bring one Ayah(no Hadith) whick explictly mention(without tafseer) that huting animals other than for food is prohibited in the Quran. Yes, there is no ayah explicitly mention...

Rayofhope, There are two situations you would need to consider here. 1. If the girl wishes to remain a Muslim, you will have to get a Nikah done for the marriage to be called as legitimate.Only a court marriage won't do. The Nikah cannot be performed unless you convert to Islam. After the Nikah, I d...

Y-kuc,

Have got an audio where he talks about women going to work and a few other things, if that helps.

I believe we know ourselves much better than anybody else does. We know how our daily lives have been impacted , the way the system has been and how it works. In that case, we are the best people to bring about change in our own lives rather than an external force. Also, we would be more concerned a...

Whats this? Guard of Honor being inspected??

Bro Hasan, If I am correct, this is what you want to convey: No Prophet before Prophet Muhammed (saw) preached anything other than Islam. Islam or rather same message was revealed multiple times to all of these Prophets to be delivered to mankind. As per your argument, 1. Since Islam existed at all ...

hey you all seem to know a lot about Islam, Quran and Prophet Muhammed and its really nice to know that people research well these days. can any of you help me find about the arabs before Islam. what was the trade, teachings, culture, language, how did they react to kaaba, what was their foreign co...

One addition to brother SBM 's post, please do not sensationalise any information that you may want to share here without providing solid evidence. If you are yourself not sure or seeking a clarification, you should indicate as such in your post.

Thanks.

It is mainly due to the traditions and customs India has been following through ages. In all these traditions, a woman is considered more of a liability and hence often mistreated. The root cause is the mindset. It starts at home.I mean, in India, you are less likely to see parents teaching their so...

The people of the community (and the claimants ) need to understand that any spiritual or religious leader gains a following because of who he truly is and not because of a position/title he holds. A true leader is someone who commands respect, is influential , is someone we can draw an inspiration ...

Brother adna_mumin, Islam was NOT founded by Mohammad Rasul Allah SAW. He is the last and final messenger of Allah ta. So if he is the last there ought to be those messengers before him. Correct. However, I am not sure how that is related to our discussion. Could you elaborate a bit. Did the messeng...

Have been following this informative discussion. Brother Badrijanab, I'd like to mention just one thing regarding your last post. Messenger Mohammed s.a.w.w. have hidden his identity for two-third of his life! And only for minority part of his life he revealed himself as Prophet of Islam and preache...

Some beautiful quotes by Paulo Coelho, one of the most distinguished authors of today.. "The way you see yourself will often determine how people see you." "You have two choices in life; find a way or make one." "The more you love your decisions, the less you will need other...

I am trying to understand this, I ask because, initially in Houston (and maybe still prevelant), the Qarzana Hasana collection was done with people putting money in their name (like a Qarzana Hasana account linked to their jamaat file identified by their ejamaat number or somewhat like that) and the...

Lets suppose that the DB is actually the true dawat/haq dawat as it claims to be. Now in that case, it should be propagated/spread to others. It has to be made known to others that this is the only right path or the truth. But as we already know, this is not being done. It could possibly be because,...

Dear readers, This is one incident that happened in Pune, sharing news on same below. Was quite surprised to read a good number of communal and racist comments under the comments section of this news. What the guy did was not right, agreed, but it was definitely not that intense in nature that they ...

Dear Dr Fatema,

Not true, as he has enough guts to file a court case against him and face him there.

Great news ! Congratulations to all. would like to know more about the overall experience of the participants, challenges faced (if any), possibility of similar collaborations in the future etc. Browsed through the discussions over attire here.. Actually, there are various reasons why a standard att...
