...What are the differences between Qur’anists, Ee-al-Hadith and Selafi movements? Quranism is an Islamic view that holds the Qur'an to be the most authentic criterion in Islam. Qur'anists reject the religious authority of the Hadith. This is in contrast to the Shia and Sunni forms of Islam which view the Hadith as essential to religious practice. The extent to which Quranists reject the authenticity of the Sunnah varies, but the more established groups have thoroughly criticised the authenticity of the hadith and refused it for many reasons, the most prevalent being the Quranist claim that hadith is not mentioned in the Quran as a source of Islamic theology and practice, was not recorded in written form until more than two centuries after the death of the Prophet Muhammad, and contain perceived internal errors and contradictions. Quranists believe, based on numerous historical accounts, that the Quranist sentiment dates back to the time of Muhammad. During the Abbasid Caliphate, the poet, theologian, and jurist, Ibrahim an-Nazzam founded a madhhab called the Nazzamiyya that rejected the authority of hadiths and relied on the Quran alone. Another organisation that agreed with Quranist was "Ahle Qur’an". This is an organisation formed by Abdullah Chakralawi, who described the Quran as "ahsan hadith", meaning most perfect hadith and consequently claimed it does not need any addition. His movement relies entirely on the chapters and verses of the Qur’an. Chakralawi's position was that...

NOTE for fellow Muslims: Because this topic involves what is haram (prohibited) and halal (permissible) in Islam, every Muslim MUST do his/her own due diligence and conscientiously reach own position/decision in regard to personal practice. In doing so regarding this matter or any other aspect of life, Muslims should seek guidance from the Qur'an and the Prophetic legacy. Each hadith is properly referenced, but for internal reference within this essay, in the sequence presented, each hadith is numbered with # H-.

...IMAM TIRMIDHI’S CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS HADITH Imam Tirmidhi (R.A.) shows his excellent contribution to Islam since 220 AH. He spent his life into research in science of Ahadith and shows his passion in collecting maximum knowledge from other great personalities of his time such as Imam Bukhari (R.A.), Imam Muslim(R.A.) and Imam Abu Dawood (R.A.). He has written lots of works such as Al-Jami’ al-Mukhtasar min as-Sunan ‘an Rasulillah, Tawarikh, al-‘Ilal al-Kabir, Shama’il, Asma’ as-Sahabah, Al-Asma’ wal Kuna, Al-Athar al-Mawqufah. and he was the compiler of as-Sunan at-Tirmidhi which is one of his most famous book and was completed on 10 Zulhijjah 270 AH . As-Sunan at-Tirmidhi has been categorized as fourth among the sixth most authentic books of hadith (Kutub as sittah) . Despite that, as-Sunan at-Tirmidhi contains a lot of benefits and the book was widely circulated through the Muslim world. He had divided his sunan into 46 chapter which contains 3956 hadith. His main objective to compile Al-Jami’ was to arrange the hadith of prophet s.a.w systematically, to discuss the legal opinions of early Imams and to discuss the quality of the hadith whether it can be argued or not and to deliberate about the weakness and deficiency in certain hadith. His Al-Jami’ also considered as a reference for various schools of thoughts. During Imam Tirmidhi’s life, he has traveled through out the Islamic World. According to Hafiz Mizzi, he travelled...

...and sunna," argues Nuh Ha Mim Keller. The word madhhab is derived from an Arabic word meaning "to go" or "to take as a way", and refers to a mujtahid's choice in regard to a number of interpretive possibilities in deriving the rule of Allah from the primary texts of the Qur'an and hadith on a particular question. In a larger sense, a madhhab represents the entire school of thought of a particular mujtahid Imam, such as Abu Hanifa, Malik, Shafi'i, or Ahmad--together with many first-rank scholars that came after each of these in their respective schools, who checked their evidences and refined and upgraded their work. The mujtahid Imams were thus explainers, who operationalized the Qur'an and sunna in the specific shari'a rulings in our lives that are collectively known as fiqh or "jurisprudence". In relation to our din or "religion", this fiqh is only part of it, for the religious knowledge each of us possesses is of three types. The first type is the general knowledge of tenets of Islamic belief in the oneness of Allah, in His angels, Books, messengers, the prophethood of Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace), and so on. All of us may derive this knowledge directly from the Qur'an and hadith, as is also the case with a second type of knowledge, that of general Islamic ethical principles to do good, avoid evil, cooperate with others in good works, and so forth. Every Muslim can take these general principles, which form the largest and most important part of his religion...

QUESTION What is the ruling of the Ulama of Deen regarding the Ayah اياك نستعينA person interprets this Ayah saying that it is Shirk (Polytheism) to seek assistance from any one other than Allah Almighty. He quotes the Following : دﯾﮐﮫ ﺣﺻﺮ ﻧﺳﺘﻌﯾں اے ﭘﺎک دﯾں اﺳﺘﻌﺎﻧت ﻏﯾﺮ ﺳﮯ ﻻﺋق ﻧﮩﯾں ذات ﺣق ﺑﯾﺷک ﻣﮯ ﻧﻌم اﻟﻣﺳﺘﻌﺎن ﺣﯾف ﻣﮯ ﮔﺮ ﻏﯾﺮ ﺣق ﮐﺎ ﮨو دھﯾﺎن Look at the Hasr (restrictions) of the pure Deen, that it is not permissible to seek assistance from other than Allah Almighty. He also quotes the beliefs of the illustrious Sufiya as follows: Sheikh Maslihuddin Sadi Shirazi (Radi Allah unho) held the same belif. Hence, he states: نداريم غير از تو فرياد رس توئی عاصياں را خطا بخش و بس There is none beside you that can assist me and it is You Who forgives the sins of the servants. Beacons of Hope 4 Hazrat Moulana Nizami Ganjawi (Radi Allah unho) also says the same in his Du’a: بزرگا بزرگی و ہابيکم توئی ياوری بخش وياوری رسم O Master! Oh Bestower of Excellence!

...The Qur’an and Worker Justice The Muslim community and the labor movement share the common goals of social justice, economic fairness, and fair treatment in the workplace. In fact, the history of Islam is rooted in a firm stand against economic exploitation. When Prophet Muhammad ibn (son of) Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with Him, began teaching Islam in Mecca, it shook up an unjust economic structure that allowed the rich to take advantage of the poor. Before Prophet Muhammad departed, he left behind The Holy Qur'an, a book filled with guidance on how men and women should treat each other in various situations, including the workplace. The Holy Qur’an urges the proper treatment and respect of workers. Several Muslim leaders discussed the relevance of the Holy Qur’an to the struggle for dignity in the workplace with union leaders and other religious leaders during the “Islam and Labor: Forging Partnerships Conference,” held Nov. 10, 2001 in Washington, D.C. Co-convened by the National Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice and the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the conference sought to build relationships between the Muslims, interfaith committees and labor communities. Referencing heavily from the Holy Qur’an and the life of Prophet Muhammad, several Muslim Imams (leaders) discussed worker justice, the connection between faith and works, class and gender equality, and the responsibility of employers. The essence of their remarks can be summed up in one sentence uttered by...

...ARCHERY Sunnah Sport Centre has provides archery skill class since archery is one of the sports that encouraged in Islam. This sport is a sunnah as well. Archery is the art, practice, or skill of propelling arrows with the use of a bow, from Latin arcus. Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat. A person who participates in archery is typically known as an "archer" or a "bowman", and one who is fond of or an expert at archery can be referred to as a toxophilite There is a quote about archery from Louis Lord Mountbatten which saying that, during the fourth world war, people will use archery instead of nuclear. Besides that, there are a sahih hadith about this sport. The Prophet once passed by some people of the tribe of Bani Aslam who were practicing archery. The Prophet said: “O Bani Isma`il ! Practice archery as your father Isma`il was a great archer. Keep on throwing arrows and I am with Bani so-and-so.” (Bukhari) For archery, we hired eight coaches who are expertise in archery. The community who learn this skill would be divided to four teams. Each team would have two coaches with them and have different locations. We concern about the efficiency in learning this skill, which is the reasons why we divide them to groups. There would be no separation among the learners based on their expertise. They will learn from the most fundamental steps till they will expert. There are schedule for the classes. There are two sessions for a day which is on weekend...

...THE CONCEPT OF HERESY BY IBN TAIMIYAH If assessed the overall discussion and explanation scientists Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama regarding heresy, can be formulated that unlicensed innovation is "What-what religious affairs created by men after the age of al-Salaf al-Salih who pollute the genuineness of religion and menyelisihi purpose.

In this blog, I would like to share a few steps on how we could change our destiny with Allah’s will. Prayer & Doa’ This is one of the first things that we must always bear in our mind as a Muslim. Performing five times prayers in a day is the second pillar of Islam after reciting the two Syahadahs. It is vital for a Muslim to obey Allah’s commands by accomplishing all the five pillars. Besides performing prayers, another act that can change the qada’ and qadar with Allah’s will is doa’. According to Tsauban R.A, the Prophet says, “Nothing can resist the fate besides prayer”. - Authentic hadith narrated by Ibn Hibban in his Sahih. (Agreed upon by al-Zahabi...

Generally the accounting should be able to perform roles like keeping safe custody of interests, certifying true and fair view of business, enabling accountability and providing reliable information for successful decision making to all the stakeholders. In this context there are three main issues with respect to present system of setting accounting standards. These are undue pressures of certain groups in setting these standards, no role of owners in setting these standards, and flexibility/discretion in applying these standards which may lead to subjectivity. These may results in incorrect valuation of business transactions, increasing management discretion which in return will increase corporate governance issues including incorrect financial reporting, earning management and limiting decision making ability of the stakeholders.

...Nabia Abbott's chapter on The Umayyads takes an in-depth look at the rise and fall of this dynasty, paying close attention to women of this time and the roles they played. Abbott discusses early Umayyad Caliph's and their wives, giving awareness to Uthman and Na'ilah as well as Mu'awiyah and Maisun bint Bahdal. Each of these matches is portrayed by Abbott as somewhat equal or at least a mutual respect between the couples. But as time wore on slowly the ideal Arab wife was being infringed upon by the harems that the elite Umayyads were setting up. Filling their halls with slave women from far off lands, such as Persia. An example of the impact that these women had on the Caliph can be seen during Walid I reign, where although he had eight different free Arab wives only one borne him any children, the rest of his off spring came from his servant girls. This shows that Walid I preferred these foreign women to those of his own Arab decent. Abbott states that with the rise of the Umayyad Empire came a change in the political status of Arab women. Pride and race and other virtues were gradually receding into the background. With the accession of Yazid III dealt the royal Arab women a hard blow since the sons of the harem wives stood up to become the next heir. With this the Arab Islamic women officially became a prisoner with in the political society. In the conclusion of this chapter Abbott blames Arab women as the case for the decline in the status of Muslim women, saying if such...

We praise Him, we seek His help and we ask for His forgiveness. We repent to Him and seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own selves and from our evil deeds. Whosoever has been guided by Allah, none can misguide that person and whomsoever Allah has misguided, there is no one that can guide that person to the Straight Path. I bear witness and testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, with no partners or associates, and I bear witness that Muhammad (sulAllahu alaihi wa salaam) is the slave and messenger of Allah. Allah, the All Mighty and All Wise, has informed mankind through His Messenger (sulAllahu alaihi wa salaam) about all aspects and matters related to the purpose of life. This purpose is clearly defined in the Qur’an as Allah, the Exalted, says: “And I created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).” (Qur’an 51:56) Through this ayah human beings can clearly understand their position and relationship to this life, and the duties which must be fulfilled are specified in the...
