Islam answering every question.(Continued Post)

When I googled about these philosophical questions,I found people
juggling around,and trying to answer the so called toughest questions
in their own way.I listed them and found all the answers already
present in the Quran and Hadees.

1.Who am I ?
You are not what you think,your name is not your real identity,your
body is not yours.You are one of the other numerous creatures having
soul inside,but you have a greater status than them,not because you
can think and talk but because the creator made you in the best form.
"And he created man in the best form"(Surah Teen)
So you are not like other million creatures eating to live and living
to eat.Allah named you 'Insaan' (As the quran states).You are the best
creation of the lord.You are a 'Abd' (Servant of Allah the creator).

2.Why was I created ?
When a creator designs and creates something he has defined purpose
for that,If a creation is purpose less than its system could not be
perfect.But the Human system has the best thought perfection.The whole
body is well designed,well created.
"And I created the Humans and Jinns only for my worship"(
We are created to worship,to bow before Allah swt and no one else.This
was the purpose of your creation.

3.Why were Life and Death created ?
We are living between these two,the only way to enter this world is
the from the mother's womb and the only road which exits you is the
death.
"We created life and death to examine who does the best deeds"
We are in the examination hall every deed of ours is being
examined.When the death knocks,all papers will get collected and we
will head towards the results.

4.What will happen after I die ?
No one other than the dead can answer this,but Alas! they are dumb.You
need a answer from the creator of death and after.
The Quran gives full details about the happenings of after death,The
'Hashr' (Gathering),the 'Pul e Saraat',The Hisab,The Jannah and
Jahannam.

5.What is Good and Evil ?
Good is not what people have made and thought to be good,but good is
what pleases your Lord,what gives eternal peace,what Allah has chosen
to be good.And Evil is what pleases Shaitan,what angers your lord,what
has the Jahannam as its home.

6.What is success ?
Different people define it according to their targets.A student
defines it to pass and top.A businessman defines it as profit and so
on.But the Quran declares a universal law:
"Whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he
indeed is successful".

These were some big questions which i came across.If you know or have
some other same topic queries,feel free to ask as in comments,or mail

Does Islam answer all the Big Philosophical questions about everything ? Find Out:

From the time when this human race came to existence,this small and
limited human mind constructed many questions inside,many creative
thinkers and philosophers always had a curious want in their minds to
deep think over the unsolved questions of life,society,nature,death
and the happenings of after death.Although their hard work on this
matter generated some answers,but they had a level of incorrection in
them.No answer was upto the level where all the curiousness would come
to an end.They answered but still they themselves needed a proper
answer.This was because they had a limited amount of knowledge over
the subject.And to the questions regarding after life no one answered
even one right answer,as no dead would help them out!!.So these
questions remained the same questions.The correct answers could only
come from the creator of these questions Allah swt the Allam ul
Guyub,he only knew Why have we been created ?,What is Life ?,What is
death ? etc.,but to answer all these big questions which also had born
inside the brains of his creation 'Humans',he sent the Prophets (A.S)
to the earth.He gave them all the treasures of knowldges,although they
were humans like us but they were chosen by the lord.And in the end
Allah swt did send Muhammad (S.A.W) the seal of all Prophets and
deens.So the answers to what the so called deep thinkers is only in
the deen Islam and nowhere.The Quran is the treasure of all universal
knowldges.Islam is the only way of compltete humanic life.If you too
are thinking over these questions,Islam Has The Answer.I searched the
net and found some questions which the modern philosophers are
discussing about,but they don't know that islam and deen have already
answered them.I will list these questions and try to answer them in
the Light of Quran and Hadees.So be ready to know.
(I will post them in my another post today inshallah).

Find out the Ruling of Islamic Shariah on Online Text Chat and (Yahoo! Chat,MSN,Google Talk etc.) ?

The human life has changed a lot,gone are the times when our lovely
ancestors used low costed letters to communicate between them.Today we
use emails etc. in the place of these letters.Although these changes
have benefitted us a lot,but muslims are those who practice Islam in
every field of their life.And this is a accepted reality that every
new stuff has its pro and cons in the islamic aspect.Be it the new
mobiles,internet etc. they can be used both rightly or against islam
too.

ISLAMIC RULING ON ONLINE TEXT CHAT:

This is the most common type of chat used online.People enter 'Rooms'
to chat with others.According to the Fatwas issued on this matter,It
is Haraam to chat with a 'non mehram' opposite sex on any type of this
online chat.The Chat Rooms are virtual types of rooms that exist on
the net,but they come under the same definition as of the real rooms
i.e they are both closed places away from others.So chatting inside
these virtual rooms is same as sitting inside a real room an
talking.The prohibition of two opposite sexes to stay alone in a room
or house has been repoted from the Ahadees.That means if a boy(s)
chats with other girl(s) in a open or private chat room it is just
like the accomodation of two lone sexes inside a real room.As the
hadith states the third person with them is the Shaitan.So the chat
with opposite sex non-mehram is a great sin and is haraam,even if the
topic between them is Islamic,clean and non sexual.Haraam is haraam a
it cant be reconstructed into halal by these lame exuses.

BUT,
A chat between same sexes or 'meharam opposite sexes' (mother and
son,father and daughter,brother and sister etc.) only on Islamic or
non sexual clean topics such as business,life,technology,current
affairs,arts etc. is jaiz and halal.If the topics and the
conversations between them are un-islamic,sexual and benefit less then
the chat between them is again na-jaiz and prohibited.Although there
are numerous topics to be discussed upon,but still you will find 80%
of the chat rooms full of those mindless users who don't chat about
other than sex and ridiculous things.So,staying away from these pots
is better than stucking your foot and falling in the hands of
Shaitan.And remember these rulings are a matter of delight for the
believers and true muslims.Those who hate to follow them really need
some serious thinking to strengthn their faith.

USING OF EMOTICONS:
If the simelys and emoticons depict a face,then using them is not
jaiz,You could use those which don't depict a face.

(Fatwaas from Darul Ifta and Mufti Emrahim Desai)

Do you know the ruling on Software Piracy and Cracking in Islamic Shariah ?


The computer you are sitting infront of,has a main program known as Operating System (OS) and some other programs which you use.These
programs are developed by their respective programmers or a group of them,or sometimes they are developed by the employed programmers of
the developer companies.These developers trade their programs to other companies or directly to the customers.So,according to the Shariah
Ruling these programs are the Properties of their owners,exactly as the real life properties (house,land,money) belong to their legal
owners,(Even if these softwares dont posses any real life existence but still they are the products of the developer's work!).Just as the stealing,using,selling and changing of these real life materials is
Haraam and prohibited according to the shariah same is the case with
any Program or Software you use.That means the
copying,'Cracking',editing,selling and changing of these softwares
without the permission of the legal copyright owner will be regarded
as stealing.Which is a big Haraam and sin in the light of Islam.You
would be amazed to know that the 49% of the total software possession
in the world is pirated or cracked.You would have now realised if only
half the muslim population becomes pious and refrains from evil and
haraam 20% of the software piracy problem would get solved.(And don't
think that I am posting this from a pirated windows,i am mobile
blogging you people!!).So,Software piracy and cracking it is haraam in
Islam.Yes Islam has the answer!

Is Photography allowed in Islam ? Have thought about it before clicking one from your Phone Camera ? Find Out:

Praise be to Allaah.

Photography (tasweer) means the taking of pictures of living, animate
moving beings, like people, animals, birds, etc. The ruling is that it
is forbidden on the basis of a number of reports,such as the
following:
'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that
the Prophet (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Those
who will be most severely punished by Allaah on the Day of
Resurrection will be the image-makers." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, see
al-Fath, 10/382).
Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)said: "Allaah, may
He be exalted, says: 'Who does more wrong than the one who tries to
create something like My creation? Let him create a grain of wheat or
a kernel of corn.'" (Reported by al-Bukhaari, see Fath al-Baari,
10/385).
'Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "Shall I not send you on
the same mission as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) sent me? Do not leave any built-up tomb without
levelling it, and do not leave any picture in any house without
erasing it." (Reported by Muslim and al-Nisaa'i; this is the version
narrated by al-Nisaa'i).
Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father)reported
that the Prophet (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Every image-maker will be in the Fire, and for every image that he
made a soul will be created for him, which will be punished in the
Fire." Ibn 'Abbaas said: "If you must do that, make pictures of trees
and other inanimate objects." (Reported by Muslim, 3/1871)
These ahaadeeth indicate that pictures of animate beings are haraam,
whether they are humans or other creatures, whether they are
three-dimensional or two-dimensional,whether they are printed, drawn,
etched, engraved, carved,cast in moulds, etc. These ahaadeeth include
all of these types of pictures.
The Muslim should submit to the teachings of Islam and not argue with
them by saying, "But I am not worshipping them or prostrating to
them!" If we think about just one aspect of the evil caused by the
prevalence of photographs and pictures in our times, we will
understand something of the wisdom behind this prohibition:that aspect
is the great corruption caused by the provoking of physical desires
and subsequent spread of immorality caused by these pictures.
The Muslim should not keep any pictures of animate beings in his
house, because they will prevent the angels from entering. The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The angels do not
enter a house in which there is a dog or pictures." (Reported by
al-Bukhaari, see al-Fath, 10/380).
But nowadays, unfortunately, one can even find in some Muslim homes
statues of gods worshipped by the kuffaar (suchas Buddha etc.) which
they keep on the basis that they are antiques or decorative pieces.
These things are more strictly prohibited than others, just as
pictures which are hung up are worse than pictures which are not hung
up, for how easily they can lead to glorification, and cause grief or
be a source of boasting! We cannot say that these pictures are kept
for memory's sake, because true memories of a Muslim relative or
friend reside in the heart, and we remember them by praying for mercy
and forgiveness for them.
Taking pictures with a camera involves human actions such as focusing,
pressing the shutter, developing, printing, and so on. We cannot call
it anything other than "picture-making" or tasweer, which is the
expression used by all Arabic-speakers to describe this action.
In the book Al-I'laam bi naqd kitaab al-halaal wa'l-haraam, the author
says: "Photography is even more of an imitation of the creation of
Allaah than pictures which are engraved or drawn, so it is even more
deserving of being prohibited… There is nothing that could exclude
photography from the general meaning of the reports." (p. 42, see also
Fataawa Islamiyyah, 4/355).

Photographs which are essential are permitted - such as those required
for identity documents,or for identifying or pursuing criminals [e.g.
"wanted" posters and the like - translator's note], or for educational
purposes which cannot be achieved otherwise. The principle in
sharee'ah is that we should not exaggerate about what is necessary.
We ask Allaah to accept our repentance and have mercy on us, and to
forgive our excesses, for He is the All-Hearing Who answers prayers.
May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhamad.

Productive Muslim Student; How to top in exams without affecting shariah obligations ?

 First of all:

 Let me tell you,the result of all deeds depends on the Niyah (Intention).The best Niyah you have the best results Allah swt creates.And don't be amazed to know that we should make a Niyah pre-educational exams also.So what niyah should we develop ? Well,you can make any vast and well defined niyah that pleases Allah swt, e.g "I am pursuing this exam to help the ummah (when i get some status through it) which inturn pleases my Allah".When you are over with carving a good niyah,half the work is done,as it has been stated in hadees: The result of deeds depends on the Intentions.So the help from Allah is with you now.Coming to the point,How to keep all the obligations going even in the days of exams ? I came under the conclusion of of these points,to help you make it happen:

Create A Time Table:

Time is precious one who allows his time to go waste can never stand upon the obligations of Islam.I have noted it,whenever we keep a track of our doings we always have good thing to describe.Make a Time Table    in which you plan your work before it starts, don't forget to keep a column for the Prayers.Make yourself ready to follow your time table.Do the work in the time period you have suggested for it.This will make other  things easy for you to do.And you will get plenty of time to stand before your lord.

Keep a watch with you:

Or any device displaying time,so that you could be pre-prepared for the prayers and your doings before.

Make offering of Fajar salah easy for you:

It is thought to be normal to burn midnight oil during exam days.But what happens in the morning ? You think that I studied the whole night,so I should have deep sleep now.Even a thought of offering Fajar salah doesn't come to our minds.If you sleep early you will end waking up early.Which will make you to offer Fajar salah easily.And you get the benefit of getting morning time to study,the best time for it.As our elders are used to say.

Give some Sadqa (Charity):

Before starting to prepare give some alms to the poor to please Allah.This will make you achive the target more easily.

Last but not the least,Ask Allah swt for Taufiq to fullfill his commands,to make success your destiny.May Allah help you in every manner.Jazakallah

What is Love in Islam ?

Praise be to Allaah. Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said regarding this matter: There are four kinds of love, which we must differentiate between, and those who go astray do so because they do not make this distinction. The first of them is love of Allaah, but this alone is not sufficient to save a person from the punishment of Allaah and to earn him His reward.The Mushrikeen, worshippers of the cross, Jews and others all love Allaah. The second is love of that which Allaah loves. This is what brings a person into Islam and out of Kufr. The most beloved of people to Allaah is the one who is most correct and most devoted in this kind of love. The third kind is love for the sake of Allaah, which is one of the essentials of loving that which Allaah loves. A person’s love of that which Allaah loves cannot be complete until he also loves for the sake of Allaah. The fourth is love for something alongside Allaah, and this love has to do with shirk. Everyone needs to make this distinction and is indeed obliged to do so. Loving for the sake of Allaah is a sign of the perfection of faith, but loving something alongside Allaah is the essence of shirk. The difference between them is that a person’s love for the sake of Allaah is connected to his love of Allaah; if this love becomes strong in his heart, this love dictates that he will love that which Allaah loves. If he loves that which his Lord loves and he loves those who are the friends of Allaah, this is love for the sake of Allaah. So he loves His Messengers, Prophets, angels and close friends because Allaah loves them, and he hates those who hate them because Allaah hates those people. The sign of the love and hatred for the sake of Allaah is that his hatred for the one whom Allaah hates will not turn into love merely because that person treats him kindly, does him a service or meets some need he has; and his love for those whom Allaah loves will not turn tohatred simply because that person does something that upsets or hurts him, whether it is done by mistake or deliberately, inobedience to Allaah or because the person feels that he has a duty to do it for some reason, or because the person is a wrongdoer who may yet give up his wrongdoing and repent. The entire religion revolves around four principles: love and hatred, and stemming from them, action and abstinence. The person whose love and hatred, action and abstinence, are all for the sake of Allaah, has perfected his faith so that when he loves, he loves for the sake of Allaah, when he hates, he hates for the sake of Allaah, when he does something, he does it for the sake of Allaah, and when he abstains from something, he abstains for the sake of Allaah. To the extent that he is lacking in these four categories, he is lacking in faith and commitment to religion. This is in contrast to the love of things alongside Allaah, which is of two types. One is diametrically opposed to the principle of Tawheed and is shirk; the other isopposed to perfection of sincerityand love towards Allaah, but does not put a person beyond the pale of Islam. The first kind is like the love of theMushrikeen for their idols and gods. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allaah as rivals (to Allaah). They love them as they love Allaah” [al-Baqarah 2:165] These Mushrikeen love their idols and gods alongside Allaah as they love Allaah. This love and devotionis accompanied by fear, hope, worship and supplication. This love is pure Shirk which Allaah does not forgive. Faith cannot be perfected unless a person regards these idols as enemies and hates them intensely, and hates the people who worship them, and regards them as enemies and strives against them.

What does Islam say about blogging ?

 Ok,Supose you are writting a book about non-islamic things,would you be allowed to compile that,according to the islamic shariah? The answer is No,same is the case with blogs,if its content is non-islamic then its prohibited according to the islam.Otherwise its Halal. But whats the answer when blog is two sided? I mean to say that the blog's content is such,that it could have both meanings,e.g. A blog regarding Mobiles,A Mobile can be used islamically and it could also be used contarary to the islam law ! So whats the answer? Islam has the answer,In principle,"It is permissible to make and sell any thing that has dual or multiple purposes, some of which are permissible and others prohibited. The responsibility of the abuse will rest on the purchaser or user and not on the seller or manufacturer".(Mufti Embrahim Desai S.A).That means such blogs a allowed to be created.Yes Islam has every answer !!

What is not Islam?

 Islam is not human mind devloped religion,it is the religion created by the creater,for the sucess of humamity.You cant even point a slight crack in the root of Islam it is the complete code of life.

What is Islam?

Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people. For a fifth of the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their faith.
