Fw: Valentines Day : How Halaal is it ?
| -------Original Message------- From: Adil ibn Manzoor Khan Date: 02/10/11 01:28:29 Subject: [AllahoAkbarGroup] Valentines Day : How Halaal is it ? "May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You" Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Valentines Day : How Halaal is it ? by Asma bint Shameem Okay...so its that time of the year again. When they say that "love" is in the air. The time when you see RED everywhere.....red hearts, red candy, red flowers and red roses. And when you walk into the stores you see chocolates, and jewelry and gifts for "that someone special you know". This is the time when the old and the young, and even kids, as young as those in elementary school, exchange valentine cards and love notes amongst themselves. And why is all this? Because it's "Valentine's Day"...thats why. But the sad calamity is, that even us Muslims are doing this. And its not just in the West. Those living in Muslim countries are just as involved. They too, are exchanging cards and gifts and love notes. They too, are celebrating Valentines Day, But what is this "Valentine's Day" after all ? Have we ever thought about it? What is the story behind it? What does celebrating "Valentines Day" really mean? Where does this fit in a Muslims life? In fact, does it even fit in it at all? Looking at the Quraan and Sunnah, one should realize that we should not be celebrating it in the first place, because it is a celebration of the non-Muslims. Whatever we need to celebrate has been prescribed to us by Allaah and His Messenger (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) and it is prohibited to celebrate anything else. That is why And Allaah said: "For every nation We have ordained religious ceremonies which they must follow." [Surah al-Hajj:67] And the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) said: "Every nation has its own Eid (celebration) and this is our Eid (meaning Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha). ' (al-Bukhaari, Muslim) But, even if this Divine command was not there, it still would not be appropriate for a Muslim to celebrate Valentines Day. Why is that ? Because, if you really think about it, what this day promotes and revolves around, goes against the very basic principles of Islaam. What this day encourages, cuts at the very roots of what our religion teaches us. Let us see what some of these differences are: 1. Allaah commands us to lower our gaze and not look at the opposite gender.
"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and protect their private parts....And tell the believing women to lower their gaze, and protect their private parts..." Surah al-Noor :30-31)
But Valentines Day encourages people to deliberately look and stare and seek out the one that you find attractive and pick him/her as your valentine.
2. Allaah orders the Muslim women not to talk unnecessarily or in a soft manner to strange men. "....then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease (of hypocrisy, or evil desire for adultery) should be moved with desire" (Surah al-Ahzaab :32) Even for the Sahaabah, Allaah ordered them to screen themselves from the wives of the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) when they need to ask them something. Who could be purer than the wives of the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) and who could be higher in taqwa than the Sahaabah? "And when you ask (the Prophets wives) for anything you want, ask them from behind a screen, that is purer for your hearts and for their hearts". (Surah al-Ahzaab: 53) Yet, for Valentines Day, you see young men and women who are absolutely not mahram for one another in any way whatsoever, going way beyond this prohibition. Not only are they talking to each other in a soft and flirtatious way, but they are right out expressing their love (in reality, lust) for each other. 3. The Sunnah prohibits a man and a woman from being alone together at any time. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) said: "Whoever believes in Allaah and the Last Day, let him not be alone with a woman who has no mahram present, for the third one present will be the Shaytaan." (Ahmad -- saheeh by al-Albaani) But those who celebrate Valentines Day purposely seek to be alone with each other and go out on dates with each other while Allaah says: "And come not near to unlawful sex. Verily, it is a Faahishah (i.e. anything that transgresses its limits: a great sin, and an evil way that leads one to hell unless Allaah Forgives him)" (al-Isra' :32) 4. Islaam prohibits a man to even touch a non-mahram woman. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) said: "If one of you were to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle, that would be better for him than his touching a woman who is not permissible for him." (al-Tabaraani --saheeh by al-Albaani) But Valentines Day promotes more than just touching. It promotes hugging, kissing, cuddling and much more. May Allaah protect us. 5. Islaam teaches us that real love between a man and a woman, that is acceptable and allowed by Allaah is only that between a husband and his wife. "And of His signs is that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you might reside with them, and has put love and mercy between you. Surely, there are signs in this for those who think". (al-Room: 21) But Valentines Day endorses haraam relationships between a non-mahram man and woman and encourages illicit love and un-Islaamic affiliations. 6. Islaam tells us that Hayaa (modesty) and bashfulness are a jewel to be treasured. It is a purity and innocence that is a virtue, regardless for a man or a woman. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) said: "Hayaa (modesty) is a branch of faith." (Bukhaari) On the other hand, this Valentines day advocates nothing but shamelessness and immodesty. Young men and women who have no hayaa for Allaah, leave alone for each other, openly and shamelessly, ask each other to be their love or be their valentine. Subhaan Allaah! Conclusion We, as Muslims, should not be celebrating Valentines day, nor is it allowed for us to do so. Everything that this day revolves around and is associated with is totally against the pure and pristine teachings of Allaah and His Messenger (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam). One shouldnt even congratulate one another or commemorate this day in any way or form. Even if this celebration is between a husband and wife, it is not right to do so because it is a celebration of the non-Muslims. And of course, if it is an illicit relationship, then obviously it is haraam. We should adhere to the limits set by Allaah, and not transgress them just because we see other people doing so. May Allah guide us and enable us to be true Muslims who submit earnestly and sincerely to Allaah and His Orders. Ameen. "O you who believe! Fear Allaah and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for tomorrow, and fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is All-Aware of what you do." (Surah al-Hashr:18)

FW: Good Morning!
| From: Aqib Khan Date: 01-02-2011 7:38:59 PM Subject: FW: Good Morning! Prophet Muhammad (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "When one of you sleeps, the Shaitan ties three knots at the back of his head and says for each knot: have a long night, so slumber. When you wake up and mention Allah, one of these knots is untied. When you perform ablution, another knot is untied; and when you establish prayer, all of the knots are untied and you become alert and pleasant. Otherwise, you become wicked hearted and lazy. [Sahih Bukhari] So if you want to have a really good day, its not coffee that will keep you alert or antidepressants that will keep you in a good mood. What you need to do is wake up, take Allah's name, do wudhu and pray before morning arrives. Have a great day! | ||

Fw: How Scores Will Be Settled On The Day Of Resurrection
| From: Adil ibn Manzoor Khan Subject: How Scores Will Be Settled On The Day Of Resurrection "May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You" Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'Ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu How Scores Will Be Settled On The Day Of Resurrection When the Day of Resurrection comes, a mans wealth and capital will be his hasanaat (good deeds). If he had done wrong to any people, they will take from his hasanaat to the extent that he mistreated them. If he does not have any hasanaat, or if his hasanaat run out, then some of their sayi'aat (bad deeds) will be taken and added to his burden.Forwarded to me by Brother Majid http://khilafatworld.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-scores-will-be-settled-on-day-of.html Bukhari narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi WA sallam) said: "Whoever wronged his brother with regard to his honour or any other matter, should seek his forgiveness today, before there are no longer any dinars, or dirhams; and if he has any righteous deeds, they will be taken from him, in accordance with the wrong he did; and if he has no hasanaat, some of the sayi'aat of his counterpart will be taken and added to his burden." [Bukhari: Kitaab al-Mazaalim, Baab man kaanat lahu mazlamah inda rajul, Fath al-Baari, 5/101] This person whose hasanaat are taken from him by the people, and then has their sayiaat placed on his own back, is the one who is bankrupt, as the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi WA sallam) called him. Muslim narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi WA sallam) said: "Do you know who is the one who is bankrupt?" They said, "The bankrupt is the one who has no money and no possessions." He said, "Among my ummah, the one who is bankrupt is the one who will come on the Day of Resurrection with prayer and fasting and zakah (to his credit), but he will come having insulted this one, slandered that one, consumed the wealth of this one and shed the blood of that one, and beaten that one. So they will all be given some of his hasanaat, and when his hasanaat run out, before judgement is passed, some of their sins will be taken and cast onto him, then he will be cast into the Fire." [Muslim: 4/1998, hadith no. 2581.] In Sunan ibn Maajah it is narrated with a sahih isnaad that Ibn Umar (radhiallahu anhu) stated: "The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi WA sallam) said: "Whoever dies owing a dinar or a dirham, it will be paid from his hasanaat, for then there will be no dinars or dirhams." [Saheeh al-Jaami' as-Sagheer, 5/537, hadith no. 6432.] If people wronged one another, the score will be settled between them. If they mistreated one another equally, then there will be no score to settle. If one of them is still owed something by the other, he will take what he is entitled to. In Sunan at-Tirmidhi it is narrated that: Aishah said: "A man came and sat in front of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi WA sallam), and said, O Messenger of Allah, I have two slaves who tell me lies, betray and disobey me, and I insult them and beat them. What is my position with regard to them?' The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi WA sallam) said: On the Day of Resurrection, their betrayal, disobedience and lying will be measured against your punishment of them. If your punishment is commensurate with their wrongs, then there will be no score to settle. If your punishment of them was less than their sins deserved, then this will count in your favour. If your punishment of them was more than their sins deserved, then the score will be settled against you. The man turned away and started to weep. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to him, Have you not read the words of Allah? - "And We shall set up Balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection, then none will be dealt with unjustly in anything. And if there be the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it. And Sufficient are We to take account." (Quran, Surah Al Anbiya 21:47).'" [Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh, 3/66, hadith no. 5561. It is also narrated in Saheeh al-Jaami', 6/327, hadith no. 7895, where it attributed to Ahmad and Tirmidhi.] Because zulm (oppression) is such a serious matter, it is better for those who fear that Day to give up oppression and avoid it. The Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has told us that oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection. Bukhari and Muslim narrated from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Oppression (zulm) will be darkness (zulumaat) on the Day of Resurrection." [Bukhari: Kitaab al-Mazaalim, Baab az-Zulm Zulumaat Yawm al-Qiyaamah, Fath al-Baari, 51100; Muslim, 4/1969, hadith no. 2579.] Muslim narrated from Jaabir ibn Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi WA sallam) said: "Beware of oppression (zulm), for oppression will be darkness (zulumaat) on the Day of Resurrection."
