      <video:title><![CDATA[The Mercy of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) - Bilal Assad - Trailor]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Trailor/Preview of Lecture by Bilal Assad about the mercy of the Prophet salAllahu alaihi wasallam.
&nbsp;
"And We have not sent you except as a mercy to mankind" (Surah Al-Anbiyah 21:107)
&nbsp;
Belal Assaad speaks about the compassion and mercy of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam - peace be upon him) towards the world. Not only to mankind, but all of creation. The speaker shares stories and examples from the life of the Prophet (pbuh) of how he was compassionate towards different beings in his life. How he showed compassion towards all creatures, human beings, and even the jinn. His compassion towards women and children, his wifes, his sons and daughters, and the sons and daughters of all believers. The poor and the old, the sick and the sad, the animals, and the insects even. How he showed compassions towards even the enemies of Islam.
&nbsp;
Bilal Assad was born in Williamstown, Melbourne, Australia. He started his Islamic studies at a very early age and acquired his Shariah knowledge in Lebanon; and continued tertiary education in Bio-Medical Science in Australia. Bilal has been offering his service to the community for many years and has been working with the Islamic Society of Victoria for over ten years.]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[The Original Sin]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
The doctrine of redemption, and the basis of this doctrine which is their belief that the Messiah (peace be upon him) was crucified, is one of the basic doctrines of Christianity, so much so that they would gamble the entire religion on this doctrine. The English cardinal Manning says in his book &ldquo;Eternal Priesthood&rdquo;: &ldquo;The importance of this confusing topic is obvious, for if the death of Christ on the cross is not real, then the basis of the church&rsquo;s doctrine will crumble from its foundations, because if Christ did not die on the cross, then there is no sacrifice, no salvation, and no trinity&hellip; Paul, the Apostles and all the churches say that, i.e., if Christ did not die then there was no resurrection either.&rdquo;&nbsp;
This is what Paul said:&nbsp;
&ldquo;And if Christ has not been raised, then preaching is useless and so is your faith.&rdquo;
I Corinthians 15:14 &ndash; New International Version (NIV)&nbsp;
Just as they struggle with their belief in trinity and what it means, and how they can reconcile it with the belief in monotheism which is affirmed in the Old Testament (See the question: 12682), and just as they also struggle with everything that has to do with the crucifixion and its details, which is the basis of their belief in redemption which they believe is the reason for the crucifixion (see also no. 12615), we say: as confusion is inevitable for everyone who turns away from the light of revelation that came down from Allaah, similarly they are confused about the doctrine of redemption.&nbsp;
Does redemption mean saving all of mankind, as John says:&nbsp;
&ldquo;&hellip;Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world&rdquo;
I John 2:1-2 (NIV)?&nbsp;
Or is it only for those who believe and are baptized:&nbsp;
&ldquo;Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned&rdquo;
Mark 16:16 (NIV)?&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Firstly:&nbsp;
One of the greatest attributes of Allaah is wisdom, and one of His greatest names is al-Hakeem (the most Wise). It should be noted that He has not created anything in vain; exalted be Allaah far above such a thing. Rather He creates things for great and wise reasons, and for sublime purposes. Those who know them know them and those who do not know them do not know them. Allaah has stated that in His Holy Book, where He says that He has not created mankind in vain, and He has not created the heavens and the earth in vain. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us?&rdquo;
So Exalted be Allaah, the True King: Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!&rdquo;
[al-Mu&rsquo;minoon 23:115, 116]&nbsp;
&ldquo;We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for a (mere) play&rdquo;
[al-Anbiya&rsquo; 21:16]&nbsp;
&ldquo;And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, for mere play.
We created them not except with truth (i.e. to examine and test those who are obedient and those who are disobedient and then reward the obedient ones and punish the disobedient ones), but most of them know not&rdquo;
[al-Dukhaan 44:38]&nbsp;
&ldquo;HaaMeem.
[These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur&rsquo;aan, and none but Allaah (Alone) knows their meanings.]
The revelation of the Book (this Qur&rsquo;aan) is from Allaah, the AllMighty, the AllWise.
We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth, and for an appointed term. But those who disbelieve, turn away from that whereof they are warned&rdquo;
[al-Ahqaaf 46:1-3]&nbsp;
Just as it is proven that there is wisdom behind the creation of man from the standpoint of sharee&rsquo;ah (Islamic law), it is also proven from the standpoint of reason. The wise man cannot but accep...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Is There a Creator for Everything?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah. The evidence that Allah is the only Creator of life may be found in many places in the Qur&rsquo;an and Sunnah. For example: "Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He is Able to do all things, Who has created death and life, that He may test you which of you is best in deed, and He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving." [al-Mulk 67:1-2] "Is, then, He Who creates as one who creates not?" [al-Nahl 16:17] "Yet they have taken besides Him other gods that created nothing but are themselves created . . ." [al-Furqaan 25:3] Allah challenged all of mankind to create even the most insignificant creature, i.e. a fly, but no one could do that and no one ever will. Allah says: "O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): verily! Those on whom you call besides Allah cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatched away a thing from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought." [al-Hajj 22:73] Imam al-Bukhari reported in his Saheeh from Abu Sa&lsquo;eed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (Peace &amp; Blessings of Allah be upon Him) said: "There is no created being but Allah created it." In Arabic, the word "khalaqa" means to make out of nothing, which is something that only Allah can do; it is impossible for anyone except Allah to do this. It also carries the meaning of decreeing or foreordaining. [**] See Fath al-Bari Sharh Saheeh al-Bukhari, 13/390. The Religion of Allah (Islam) is proud and cannot be defeated by the kaafirs&rsquo; arrogance about the knowledge they possess. Allah says: ". . . [they] are deceived by the life of this world . . ." [al-An&lsquo;aam 6:70] "They know only the outside appearance of the life of this world, and they are heedless of the Hereafter." [al-Rum 30:7] We ask Allah to help us to be steadfast in our adherence to His Religion, and to make our end good. And Allah knows best.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Love for the dunya]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[We will be either one of two types of people on the Day of Judgment. It is our choice to make which group we want to be with. The issue is - When will we make the choice - now or later? Through the 8 ayat from Surah at-Takathur (Surah #102), Dr. Dremali explains the effects of loving this Dunya. Also through many inspriational examples he gives reminders on how to work for and long for the everlasting pleasure in the Afterlife.
&nbsp;
102 - At-Takathur التكاثر 1:Alhakumut-takathur The mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you, 2:Hatta zurtumul maqabir Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die). 3:Kalla sawfa ta'alamoon Nay! You shall come to know! 4:Thumma kalla sawfa ta'alamoon Again, Nay! You shall come to know! 5:Kalla law ta'alamoona 'ilmal yaqeen Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have occupied yourselves in worldly things) 6:Latarawunnal jaheem Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)! 7:Thumma latarawunnaha 'aynal yaqeen And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight! 8:Thumma latus-alunna yawma-ithin 'anianna'eem Then, on that Day, you shall be asked about the delight (you indulged in, in this world)!
&nbsp;
"The nations are about to call each other and set upon you, just as diners set upon food." It was said: "Will it be because of our small number that day?" He said: "Rather, on that day you will be many, but you will be like foam, like the foam on the river. And Allaah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies and will throw wahn (weakness) into your hearts." Someone said: "O Messenger of Allaah! What is Wahn?" He said: "Love of the world and the hatred for death." Saheeh: Related by Abu Dawood (no.4297), Ibn'Asaakirin in Taareekh Dimashq (2/97/8) and others. It was authenticated by al-Albaanee in as-Saheehah (no.958)

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.&nbsp;
Imaam Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his Tafseer of Aayat al-Kursiy from Soorat al-Baqarah:
&nbsp;This is Aayat al-Kursiy, which has a high status. It was reported in a saheeh hadeeth from the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that it is the greatest aayah in the Book of Allaah&hellip; It was narrated from Ubayy, i.e., Ubayy ibn Ka&rsquo;b that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked him which aayah in the Book of Allaah was the greatest. He said, &ldquo;Allaah and His Messenger know best.&rdquo; He repeated it several times, then he said, &ldquo;Aayat al-Kursiy.&rdquo; The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, &ldquo;Congratulations upon your knowledge O Abu&rsquo;l-Mundhir. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it has a tongue and two lips, and it glorifies the Sovereign (i.e., Allaah) at the foot of the Throne.&rdquo; This was also narrated by Muslim, without the phrase &ldquo;By the One in Whose hand is my soul&hellip;&rdquo;.
&nbsp;It was narrated from &lsquo;Abd-Allaah ibn Ubayy ibn Ka&rsquo;b that his father told him that he had a vessel in which he kept dates. He used to check on it and found that the number was decreasing. So he kept guard on it one night and saw a beast that looked like an adolescent boy. He said: &ldquo;I greeted him with salaams and he returned my greeting, then I asked him, &lsquo;What are you, a jinn or a human?&rsquo; He said, &lsquo;A jinn.&rsquo; I said to him, &lsquo;Show me your hand.&rsquo; So he showed me his hand, and it looked like a dog&rsquo;s paw with dog&rsquo;s fur. I said, &lsquo;Do all the jinn look like this?&rsquo; He said, &lsquo;I know no one among the jinn who is stronger than I.&rsquo; I said, &lsquo;What made you do what you did [i.e., taking the dates]?&rsquo; He said, &lsquo;We heard that you are a man who loves charity, and we wanted to have some of your food.&rsquo;&rdquo; Ubayy asked him, &ldquo;What will protect us from you?&rdquo; He said, &ldq...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Yes, there are three degrees of Islam, which are: Islam, eemaan and ihsaan. Each of them has a meaning and certain pillars or essential parts.&nbsp;
1 &ndash; Islam, which in Arabic means submission. In sharee&rsquo;ah terminology its meaning varies according to usage, and it may mean one of two things:&nbsp;
(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When the word is used on its own and is not accompanied by the word eemaan (faith, belief), it refers to the religion as a whole, including both major and minor issues of belief, words and deeds, as in the verses where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Truly, the religion with Allaah is Islam&rdquo;
[Aal &lsquo;Imraan 3:19]&nbsp;
&ldquo;and have chosen for you Islam as your religion&rdquo;
[al-Maa&rsquo;idah 5:3]&nbsp;
&ldquo;And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him&rdquo;
[Aal &lsquo;Imraan 3:85]&nbsp;
hence some of the scholars defined it as meaning: Submitting to Allaah by affirming that He is One (Tawheed) and submitting to Him by obeying Him and disavowing shirk and its people.&nbsp;
(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When it is used in conjunction with the word eemaan (faith, belief), in which case it refers to outward deeds and words, as in the verses where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;The bedouins say: &lsquo;We believe.&rsquo; Say: &lsquo;You believe not but you only say, &ldquo;We have surrendered (in Islam),&rdquo;for Faith has not yet entered your hearts&rsquo;&hellip;&rdquo;
[al-Hujuraat 49:14]&nbsp;
In Saheeh al-Bukhaari (27) and Saheeh Muslim (150) it is narrated from Sa&rsquo;d ibn Abi Waqqaas that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) distributed (Zakaah) amongst (a group of) people while Sa&rsquo;d was sitting there. Sa&rsquo;d said: But the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be...]]></video:description>

Firstly: Making mistakes and falling short are undoubtedly part of human nature and no one will be free of shortcomings in his obedience to Allaah, or free of mistakes or forgetfulness or sins. All of us fall short, commit sins, and make mistakes. Sometimes we turn to Allaah and sometimes we turn away from Him. Sometimes we remember that Allaah is watching and sometimes we become negligent. None of us is free of sin, and we will inevitably make mistakes. We are not infallible. Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if you did not commit sin Allaah would do away with you and bring people who would commit sin then pray for forgiveness.&rdquo; Narrated by Muslim, 2749. And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Every son of Adam sins, and the best of those who sin are those who repent.&rdquo; Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2499; classed as hasan by al-Albaani.&nbsp;
By His mercy towards weak man, Allaah has opened the gate of repentance to him, and has commanded him to turn to Him, every time sin overwhelms him. Were it not for that, man would suffer a great deal of hardship and would not have the drive to draw closer to his Lord; he would lose all hope of His forgiveness and pardon. Repentance is something that is necessary as a result of man&rsquo;s shortcomings and human failings.&nbsp;
Allaah has enjoined repentance on all kinds of people in this ummah: those who are foremost in good deeds, those who follow a middle course, and those who wrong their own selves by doing haraam things (cf. Faatir 35:32).&nbsp;
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful&rdquo;
[al-Noor 24:31]&nbsp;
&ldquo;O you who believe! Turn to Allaah with sincere repentance!&rdquo;
[al-Tahreem 66:8]&nbsp;
And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;O people, repent to Allaah and s...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Abdur-Raheem Green talks about an important question that is in the minds and in the tongues of many people. It is a claim, an accusation, in fact it is a slander that is made against the religion of Islam. That Islam oppresses women. Abdur-Raheem demonstrates that this is not only a lie and a slander, but also shows which people, nation and ideology is really responsible for oppressing women. He also looks and defines what the word "oppression" means and what Islam says about it. An educational video about the slander that some tend to promote, "Islam oppresses women."

Abdurraheem was educated in a Christian monastic school and although held strong Christian principles dabbled with other religions. This continual quest to find meaning to life eventually led him to Islam. Abdurraheem spent many years at Speakers' Corner in Hyde park, where he made his name as an inspirational orator. He has been delivering talks nationwide including universities during this time, and also on international platforms, such as the Peace Conference in Mumbai.

      <video:description><![CDATA[Question and Answer session of the lecture Sex, Drugs And Rock N' Roll: Or is there more to life? by Abdur Raheem Green.Upon first glance, you may think this lecture is only about Islamic rulings on illicit sexual acts, problems and effects on the society regarding sex, Islamic rulings on drugs and other intoxications, or the rulings on music. However, this discussion is much more profound than that. It discusses one's mentality and viewpoint on life.

      <video:title><![CDATA[2 Year Old Girl Answering Questions]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[READ AFTER WATCHING:Concerning the question about where Allaah is, some people may dispute the answer to that question so here is the answer to those whom disputes it:''Then He Istaw&acirc; (rose over) towards the heaven and made them seven heavens and He is the All-Knower of everything.'' [2:29] They claim in their attack (p. 5) that Allah said: "Do you feel secure that He (Allaah), who is above the heavens, will not cause the earth to sink with you[?]" (67:16) and this is a clear example of the manipulation of the literal meanings of the Holy Qur'an, which does not say "above the heavens" (man fawq al-samawat) but "in the heaven" (man fi al-sama'): see for example Pickthall or Yusuf Ali, which are the translations universally recognized and accepted by English-speaking Muslims, and also Shakir and Daryabadi:PICKTHALL: Have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed?YUSUF ALI: Do ye feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the earth when it shakes (as in an earthquake)?SHAKIR: Are you secure of those in the heaven that He should not make the earth to swallow you up? Then lo! it shall be in a state of commotion.DARYABADI: Are you secure that He Who is in the heaven willk not sink the earth with you, and then it should quake?Malik in his Muwatta' and Muslim in his Sahih relate that Mu`awiya ibn al-Hakam came to the Prophet and told him: "I am very newly from the Jahiliyya, and now Allah has brought Islam," and he proceeded to ask about various Jahiliyya practices, until at last he said that he had slapped his slave girl, and asked if he should free her, as was obligatory if she was a believer. The Prophet requested that she be brought, and then asked her, "Where is Allah?" and she said, "In the sky (fi al-sama')"; whereupon he asked her, "Who am I?" and she said, "You are the Messenger of Allah"; at which he said, "Free her, for she is a believer."Is there anything more clearer than that?If you say...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Mercy of the Prophet (pbuh)]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
&nbsp;
Firstly:&nbsp;
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): &ldquo;And We have sent you (O Muhammad ) not but as a mercy for the Aalameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists)&rdquo; [al-Anbiya&rsquo; 21:107]. The scholars differed concerning the &lsquo;Aalameen (translated here as &ldquo;mankind, jinns and all that exists&rdquo;; also often translated as &ldquo;the worlds&rdquo;) to whom the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was sent as a mercy.&nbsp;
Ibn Jibreen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:&nbsp;
Here Allah, may He be exalted, says to His Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): We have not sent you, O Muhammad, to Our creation except as a mercy to those to whom We have sent you of Our creation.&nbsp;
Then the commentators differed as to the meaning of this verse: does it mean as a mercy to all of the world to whom Muhammad was sent, believers and disbelievers alike? Or does it mean to the believers only and not the disbelievers?&nbsp;
Some of them said that what is meant is to all the world, both believers and disbelievers.&nbsp;
It was narrated that Ibn &lsquo;Abbaas said: As far as the one who believes in Allah and the Last Day is concerned, mercy will be decreed for him (by virtue of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)) in this world and the Hereafter; as for the one who does not believe in Allah and His Messenger, he will be saved (by virtue of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)) from the punishments that befell the previous landslides and being pelted with stones from heaven.&nbsp;
Others said that what is meant is he is a mercy to the believers only, to the exclusion of the disbelievers.&nbsp;
The more correct of the two opinions is that which was narrated from Ibn &lsquo;Abbaas, which says that Allah sent His Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) as a mercy to all the world, both believers and disbelievers. As for the believers, Allah guided them throu...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[What is God's Name?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah.
The Qur&rsquo;an is the word of Allah, may He be exalted, and is not created&nbsp;
What is meant by that is that Allah, may He be exalted, spoke the words of the Qur&rsquo;an, which Jibreel (peace be upon him) heard from Him, and brought down to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), and conveyed it to him.&nbsp;
All of the attributes of Allah, may He be exalted, are uncreated; they are eternal, with no beginning. The words of Allah are among these attributes, and that includes the Qur&rsquo;an. Therefore the scholars said that the Qur&rsquo;an is not created, because it is the words of Allah, and that is one of His attributes.&nbsp;
With regard to people&rsquo;s actions, they are created. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
 &ldquo;While Allah has created you and what you do [or make]&rdquo;
 [as-Saaffaat 37:96].&nbsp;
There are two issues that we must distinguish between:&nbsp;
The first is the words of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, that He spoke initially, and Jibreel (peace be upon him) heard them from Him, and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) conveyed them to us. This is an attribute of Allah that is not created in its letters and words; the same applies to His voice with which Allah spoke initially, and Jibreel (peace be upon him) heard it from Him.&nbsp;
All of this comes under the heading of the words of Allah, nothing of which is created, no matter how it is written, recited or heard.&nbsp;
The second is the actions of the person, who is the vessel which carries the words of Allah, so he writes them in a book, reads them and hears them. All that comes from a person and that he does is created.&nbsp;
So the hand of the person is created, the ink with which he writes is created, the paper on which he writes is created, the person&rsquo;s tongue is created, his voice that belongs to him is created. All of these are vessels in which people carry the word of Allah and transmit it and convey it.&nbsp;

      <video:description><![CDATA[In this enlightening episode of The Deen Show, Eddie invites viewers to ponder the authenticity and translation history of the Bible. He emphasizes the significance of understanding the complexities associated with the Bible's translations into English through the years, shedding light on the potential discrepancies and various interpretations that have arisen. Eddie brings up the insights of prominent scholars like FF Bruce, highlighting the evolution of the Bible's linguistic nuances over time, urging viewers to delve deeper into the roots of biblical texts.

Moreover, Eddie extends a heartfelt message of compassion and understanding to listeners, promoting a sense of brotherhood and shared humanity. He encourages open-hearted exploration of faith, urging individuals to set aside prejudices and consider Islam as a faith worth exploring. Through the cautionary tale of scholars like Bart Ehrman, who transitioned from championing the Bible to becoming an atheist due to scholarly revelations, Eddie emphasizes the importance of approaching religious texts with critical thinking and an open mind. He underscores the dangers of blind faith and urges viewers to examine their beliefs, highlighting the transformative impact knowledge and understanding can have on one's spiritual journey.]]></video:description>

(Deuteronomy 24:16)None can reject that in these two verses, the first from the Quran and the second from the Bible, is an allusion to the same meaning: that the Just God will never punish people for the sins of others.So now we'll let you guys decide Original sin or original goodness?

      <video:title><![CDATA[A Jew Talking About God's Name Allah (EPIC)]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[A must see! The legendary video in which a Jew rebuffs the claim of evangelicals, newly edited and now in annotations!
&nbsp;
Even Jesus said Allah. According to an Aramaic dictionary, ( http://www.peshitta.org/lexicon/ ) the word for God in Aramaic (The language which Jesus spoke) is "Aalah", which is the exact same thing as the Arabic "Allah" since in English there are many ways to spell a foreign word (Example you can spell the Muhammad's name in 27 ways, including Muhammad and Mohamed). Just visit the link and type "God" if you don't believe me, then scroll down to "Pronunciation"
&nbsp;
So Christians, if your god Jesus said "Allah", it means the Muslims are using the correct word for the creator!
&nbsp;
The word Allah is better than the word God and is purer since God can be pluralised (gods) and genderised (goddess), the word Allah is more suitable for being HIS name because it CANNOT be genderised nor pluralised (in Arabic) since it is genderless and single, an example in English would be the planet Mars, it is genderless (you cannot say Marsa or whatever it would be if it could be genderised) and it is unpluralisable (you cannot say Marses), it simply wouldn't make sense to genderise or pluralise this planet, the same goes for Allah (الله) in Arabic, so in essence IT IS SUPERIOR to the word God.
&nbsp;
Lets not forget that Arab Christians, and Jews (as is the case in this video) say Allah, and have been saying it before there were even any western Christians!
&nbsp;
Jesus said Allah too, so if you consider yourself a serious Christian you should start saying it to follow your god Jesus. So please, open your brains a little, it's good for you.
&nbsp;
Now to see what different prophets called God.
&nbsp;
Abraham PBUH called him El shaddai Moses PBUH called him Elohim (see Genesis)
&nbsp;
Jesus PBUH called him Allah
&nbsp;
Muhammad PBUH called him Allah
&nbsp;
Two prophets called him Allah, and they are the most known of prophets, Muhammad and Jesus peace be upon them. Nonetheless all of these are Sem...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Salvation and Forgiveness]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&ldquo;And those who, when they have committed fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins; &mdash; and none can forgive sins but Allah &mdash; and do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know.
&nbsp;
For such, the reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath (Paradise), wherein they shall abide forever. How excellent is this reward for the doers (who do righteous deeds according to Allah&rsquo;s orders).&rdquo;
&nbsp;
[3:135-136]&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Ibn Katheer said:&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The words &ldquo;and do not persist in what (wrong) they have done&rdquo; mean: they repent from their sins and quickly turn to Allah, and they do not persist in their sin, rather they give it up, and if they do it again they repent to Him.&nbsp;Tafseer Ibn Katheer.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: &ldquo;A person committed a sin and said: &lsquo;My Lord, I have sinned; forgive me.&rsquo; His Lord said: &lsquo;Is My slave acknowledging that he has a Lord Who forgives sins and punishes for them? I have forgiven My slave.&rsquo; Then as much time passed as Allah willed, then he committed a sin and said, &lsquo;My Lord, I have sinned; forgive me.&rsquo; His Lord said: &lsquo;Is My slave acknowledging that he has a Lord Who forgives sins and punishes for them?&nbsp; I have forgiven My slave.&rsquo; Then as much time passed as Allah willed, then he committed a sin and said, &lsquo;My Lord, I have sinned; forgive me.&rsquo; His Lord said: &lsquo;Is My slave acknowledging that he has a Lord Who forgives sins and punishes for them? I have forgiven My slave,&rsquo; &ndash; three times&hellip;&rdquo;&nbsp;[al-Bukhari, Muslim].&nbsp;

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Undoubtedly the society that was established by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in Madeenah was an example of a stable and secure society. That was manifestly apparent from the moment the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) first set foot in Madeenah and stated to form the Islamic state. The security and stability of this society were due to a number of reasons and factors, including the following:&nbsp;
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) built the mosque in Madeenah as soon as he arrived there, which helped to establish a focal point to which people could turn when calamities struck, and a place where the Muslims could gather to meet one another and find out about one another, so they could find out who was sick and go to visit them, attend the funerals of those who died, help their poor and arrange marriages for those who were single. &nbsp;
These are some of the ahaadeeth concerning that:&nbsp;
It was narrated from Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to Madeenah, he ordered that the mosque should be built, and he said, &ldquo;O Banu Najjaar, name me a price for this garden of yours.&rdquo; They said, &ldquo;No by Allaah, we will not seek its price except from Allaah.&rdquo;&nbsp;
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2622; Muslim, 524)&nbsp;
It was narrated that al-Bara&rsquo; ibn &lsquo;Aazib said: &ldquo;[The verse] &lsquo;and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it&rsquo; [al-Baqarah 2:267 &ndash; interpretation of the meaning] was revealed concerning us Ansaar. We used to own date palm trees. A man would bring (the harvest) from his date palms, whether it was a little or a lot. A man would bring one or two bunches of dates and hang them in the mosque. Ahl al-Suffah &ndash; or according to a report narrated by Ibn Maajah, the poor among the Muhaajireen &ndash; had no food, so if one of them got hungry he would come and...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Nasheed About Muhammad (pbuh)]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[A long time ago,&nbsp; there lived an old woman who was carrying a heavy load along the road in the desert. It was a bit difficult for her, but she was managing as best as she could. A young man asked if he could help her with her load, and she readily obliged. Here is the conversation that transpired:
&nbsp;
&ldquo;It would be such a pleasure to have you come alone with me. I accept your gracious offer of kindness and company,&rdquo; she said. She was a very talkative woman, and the young man did not want to interrupt her. So, he let her speak the entire time they were together without interruption
&nbsp;
&ldquo;But as we walk along young man and as you help me with my load, I have only one request as we travel down this road: Don&rsquo;t talk to me about Muhammad! Because of him there is no peace and I have trouble in my mind. So, don&rsquo;t talk to me about Muhammad! And as we walk along together, we will get along just fine.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
She continued:
&nbsp;
&ldquo;That man upsets me so, so much more than you could know! I hear of his name and reputation every where I go. Though his family and his clan once knew him as an honest man, he&rsquo;s dividing everyone with his claim that God is one!&rdquo;
&nbsp;
&ldquo;He&rsquo;s misled all the weak, the poor, and the slaves. They think they&rsquo;ve all found wealth and freedom by following his way!&rdquo; she sarcastically snorted.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;He&rsquo;s corrupted all of our youth with his twisted brand of truth. He&rsquo;s convinced them that they all are strong and gave them somewhere to belong. So, don&rsquo;t you dare talk to me about Muhammad!&rdquo;
&nbsp;
They reached their destination, and the man helped the woman put away her belongings. The old woman, with a wide smile of gratitude at this stranger&rsquo;s kindness, turned to him and said,
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Thank you now, young man. You&rsquo;ve really been so kind. That generosity and smile is very rare to find now a days. Let me give you some advice, since you&rsquo;ve been so very nice to me. St...]]></video:description>

And there are, certainly, among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), those who believe in Allah and in that which has been revealed to you, and in that which has been revealed to them, humbling themselves before Allah. They do not sell the Verses of Allah for a little price, for them is a reward with their Lord. Surely, Allah is Swift in account 3:199]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[In this 5th episode of Fundamentals of Faith, Shaikh Abu Ammar Yassir Qadhi presents some of the proofs of the existence of God. This continues from the previous episodes about our Imaan/Faith/Belief (Tawheed) in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and the knowledge that brings life to our heart. A must see lecture for all. We Read in the Qur'an: "If you asked them, 'Who created the heavens and earth and subjected the sun and the moon?' they would surely say, 'Allah.' Then how are they deluded? Allah extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts for him. Indeed Allah is, of all things, Knowing. And if you asked them, 'Who sends down rain from the sky and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness?' they would surely say 'Allah.' Say, 'Praise to Allah'; but most of them do not reason." [Surah Al-Ankabut, Ayat 61-63] "Their messengers said, 'Can there be doubt about Allah, Creator of the heavens and earth? He invites you that He may forgive you of your sins, and He delays your death for a specified term.' They said, 'You are not but men like us who wish to avert us from what our fathers were worshipping. So bring us a clear authority.' Their messengers said to them, 'We are only men like you, but Allah confers favor upon whom He wills of His servants. It has never been for us to bring you evidence except by permission of Allah. And upon Allah let the believers rely.'" [Surah Ibraheem, Ayat 10-11] "Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]? Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain. Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]? Or have they a stairway [into the heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear authority." [Surah At-Tur, Ayat 35-38] "He created the heavens without pillars that you see and has cast into the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with you, and dispersed therein from every creature.

      <video:description><![CDATA[In this 3rd episode of Fundamentals of Faith, Shaikh Abu Ammar Yasir Qadhi continues from the last episode about our Imaan/Faith/Belief (Tawheed) in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and the knowledge that brings life to our heart. He talks about the Blessings and Importance of Tawheed. A must see lecture for all. Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 93, Number 469: Narrated Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to him, "You are going to a nation from the people of the Scripture, so let the first thing to which you will invite them, be the Tauhid of Allah. If they learn that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers to be offered in one day and one night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Zakat of their properties and it is to be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor. And if they agree to that, then take from them Zakat but avoid the best property of the people." Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 93, Number 470: Narrated Mu'adh bin Jabal: The Prophet said, "O Mu'adh! Do you know what Allah's Right upon His slaves is?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know best." The Prophet said, "To worship Him (Allah) Alone and to join none in worship with Him (Allah). Do you know what their right upon Him is?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know best." The Prophet said, "Not to punish them (if they do so)."]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
&nbsp;
No one has the right to describe Allaah except in the way in which He has described Himself or His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has described Him, because no one knows more about Allaah than Allaah, and no created being has more knowledge of his Creator than the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Say, Do you know better or does Allaah?&rdquo;
[al-Baqarah 2:140]&nbsp;
&ldquo;And follow not (O man, i.e., say not, or do not, or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allaah)&rdquo;
[al-Isra&rsquo; 17:36]&nbsp;
The spirit or soul is not one of the attributes of Allaah, rather it is one of the things that have been created by Allaah. It is mentioned in conjunction with Allaah in some texts by way of honouring, for Allaah is its Creator and Sovereign, He takes it (in death) whenever He wills and He sends it whenever He wills.&nbsp;
What we say about the spirit is the same as what we say about the &ldquo;House of Allaah&rdquo;, the &ldquo;she-camel of Allaah&rdquo;, the &ldquo;slaves of Allaah&rdquo; and the &ldquo;Messenger of Allaah&rdquo;. All of these created things are mentioned in conjunction with Allaah by way of honouring.&nbsp;
Among the texts in which the spirit is mentioned in conjunction with Allaah is the verse (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Then He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him the soul [lit. &ldquo;His soul&rdquo;] (created by Allaah for that person)&rdquo; 
[al-Sajdah 32:9] &nbsp;
This is speaking of Adam (peace be upon him).&nbsp;
Allaah also says concerning Adam (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;So, when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him (Adam) the soul which I created for him&nbsp; [lit. &ldquo;My soul&rdquo;], then fall (you) down prostrating yourselves unto him&rdquo;
[al-Hijr 15:29]&...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[In this lecture Abdurraheem Green addresses the age-old question, "Does God Exist ?" The lectures begins by defining what a God is and continues to explore why it is common sense to believe in a Creator. He then brings forth the evidences from the Muslim Holy Scripture, The Quran, to detail the existence of the one true God.Abdurraheem Green was born to British parents in Darussalam in Tanzania in 1964. He was educated at a famous Roman Catholic Monastic School called Ampleforth College. He went on to study History in the London Univerity before he embraced the religion and became a well known caller to Islam.]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Are You an Atheist?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Praise be to Allaah.
&nbsp;
Atheism, in modern terminology, means denying the Creator altogether, denying that He exists and not acknowledging Him, may He be glorified and exalted. The universe and everything in it, according to their claims, came about purely by chance. This is a strange view which is contrary to sound human nature, reason and logic, and is contrary to simple logic and indisputable facts. &nbsp;
As for shirk (polytheism or associating others with Allah), it implies belief in Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and affirmation of Him, but it also includes belief in a partner to Allah in His creation, who creates or grants provision or brings benefit or wards off harm. This is shirk al-ruboobiyyah (ascribing partners to Allah in His Lordship). Or it means belief in a partner to whom some kind of worship is devoted as an act of love and veneration, as it is devoted to that person or thing as it should to devoted to Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. This is shirk al-&lsquo;ibaadah (associating others with Allah in worship). By studying these two deviations, we may see that each of them involves sin and evil which tells us that they are bad and we see how Allah described them as being like dumb animals.&nbsp;
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;Have you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) seen him who has taken as his ilaah (god) his own vain desire? Would you then be a Wakeel (a disposer of his affairs or a watcher) over him?
44.&nbsp;Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are only like cattle nay, they are even farther astray from the Path (i.e. even worse than cattle)&rdquo;
 [al-Furqaan 25:43-44]&nbsp;
&ldquo;And surely, We have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not, and they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones&rdquo;
 [al-A&rsquo;raaf 7:179].&nbsp...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Islam IS the solution. History has shown this. Look at the example of the Prophet Muhammad saws. Look at the final and most serious battle in his life, the retaking of Makkah, how did the muslims enter the people who fought and killed their brethren? When Umar ibn al-Khattab entered Jerusalem. When Salahuddin entered Jerusalem. What did the Muslims do when they took over Spain and ruled it for close to a thousand years? How did the Christians and the Jews live under Muslim rule in?

Eloquent, articulate and outspoken are some of the words that describe Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips. His quest to search for the truth led him from his birth island of Jamaica to the streets of Toronto where he grew up and accepted Islam in 1972. This journey has led him down many paths and he is known the world over as an Islamic scholar, Lecturer, Author and Thinker. Dr. Abu Ameenah completed his B.A. from the College of Islamic Disciplines (Usool ad-Deen) at the Islamic University of Madeenah in 1979, and thereafter went on to complete his Master's in Aqeedah at the University of Riyadh in 1985 and finally obtained his PhD from the University of Wales, U.K. in Islamic Theology in 1994. He has taught Islamic Education and Arabic in private schools, lectured M.Ed. students in the Islamic Studies department of various universities and has founded Islamic information centers while traveling extensively across the globe imparting Islamic knowledge as dictated by the Islamic tradition. Abu Ameenah enjoys playing squash at least three times a week with his wife and sons as a means of keeping fit and de-stressing and he also supervises his children in martial arts. It is interesting to note that in his earlier days, he acquired a black belt in Karate. His greatest achievement is the founding of Islamic Online University that has over 3000 students and authoring over 100 Islamic books of which, the fundamentals of Tawheed is his favourite. He currently resides in Doha, Qatar with his family where continues to teach at the Islamic ...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Malcolm X : Islam is The Solution to Racism]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[When he was in Makkah, Al-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz wrote a letter to his loyal assistants in Harlem... from his heart:
&nbsp;
Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this Ancient Holy Land, the home of Abraham, Muhammad and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors.
&nbsp;
I have been blessed to visit the Holy City of Mecca. I have made my seven circuits around the Ka'ba, led by a young Mutawaf named Muhammad. I drank water from the well of the Zam Zam. I ran seven times back and forth between the hills of Mt. Al-Safa and Al-Marwah. I have prayed in the ancient city of Mina, and I have prayed on Mt. Arafat.
&nbsp;
There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blonds to black-skinned Africans. But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and non-white.
&nbsp;
America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, and even eaten with people who in America would have been considered 'white'--but the 'white' attitude was removed from their minds by the religion of Islam. I have never before seen sincere and true brotherhood practiced by all colors together, irrespective of their color.
&nbsp;
You may be shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to re-arrange much of my thought-patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions. This was not too difficult for me. Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept t...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Pauls Christianity Borrowed From Mithra]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Paul and his followers borrowed beliefs from pagans and other religion, to win converts. He went against what Jesus taught while he was on earth, and preached his own version of it which contradict the message of Christ. Compare what Jesus said about following the law and what Paul said concerning it. "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:17-19 Paul's dreams, however, have broken commandments right and left. There is so much of what Jesus did during his lifetime that his followers have now totally neglected, not because Jesus told them to break the commandments, but because Paul would later tell them to break them upon the authority of the visions he was receiving."For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law - though not being myself under the law - that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law - not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ - that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings." (I Corinthians. 9:19-25)]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Nasheed About Muhammad (pbuh)]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[A long time ago,&nbsp; there lived an old woman who was carrying a heavy load along the road in the desert. It was a bit difficult for her, but she was managing as best as she could. A young man asked if he could help her with her load, and she readily obliged. Here is the conversation that transpired:
&nbsp;
&ldquo;It would be such a pleasure to have you come alone with me. I accept your gracious offer of kindness and company,&rdquo; she said. She was a very talkative woman, and the young man did not want to interrupt her. So, he let her speak the entire time they were together without interruption.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;But as we walk along young man and as you help me with my load, I have only one request as we travel down this road: Don&rsquo;t talk to me about Muhammad! Because of him there is no peace and I have trouble in my mind. So, don&rsquo;t talk to me about Muhammad! And as we walk along together, we will get along just fine.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
She continued:
&nbsp;
&ldquo;That man upsets me so, so much more than you could know! I hear of his name and reputation every where I go. Though his family and his clan once knew him as an honest man, he&rsquo;s dividing everyone with his claim that God is one!&rdquo;
&nbsp;
&ldquo;He&rsquo;s misled all the weak, the poor, and the slaves. They think they&rsquo;ve all found wealth and freedom by following his way!&rdquo; she sarcastically snorted.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;He&rsquo;s corrupted all of our youth with his twisted brand of truth. He&rsquo;s convinced them that they all are strong and gave them somewhere to belong. So, don&rsquo;t you dare talk to me about Muhammad!&rdquo;
&nbsp;
They reached their destination, and the man helped the woman put away her belongings. The old woman, with a wide smile of gratitude at this stranger&rsquo;s kindness, turned to him and said,
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Thank you now, young man. You&rsquo;ve really been so kind. That generosity and smile is very rare to find now a days. Let me give you some advice, since you&rsquo;ve been so very nice to me. S...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Surah al-Hijr (The Rocky Tract)]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[1. Alif-Lam-Ra. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].
&nbsp;
These are the Verses of the Book, and a plain Qur'an.
&nbsp;
2. Perhaps (often) will those who disbelieve wish that they were Muslims [those who have submitted themselves to Allah's Will in Islam Islamic Monotheism, this will be on the Day of Resurrection when they will see the disbelievers going to Hell and the Muslims going to Paradise].
&nbsp;
3. Leave them to eat and enjoy, and let them be preoccupied with (false) hope. They will come to know!
&nbsp;
4. And never did We destroy a township but there was a known decree for it.
&nbsp;
5. No nation can anticipate its term, nor delay it.
&nbsp;
6. And they say: "O you (Muhammad&nbsp; ) to whom the Dhikr (the Qur'an) has been sent down! Verily, you are a mad man.
&nbsp;
7. "Why do you not bring angels to us if you are of the truthful ones?"
&nbsp;
8. We send not the angels down except with the truth (i.e. for torment, etc.), and in that case, they (the disbelievers) would have no respite!
&nbsp;
9. Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'an) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption) .
&nbsp;
10. Indeed, We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad ) amongst the sects (communities) of old.
&nbsp;
11. And never came a Messenger to them but they did mock him.
&nbsp;
12. Thus do We let it (polytheism and disbelief) enter into the hearts of the Mujrimun [criminals, polytheists, pagans, etc. (because of their mockery at the Messengers)].
&nbsp;
13. They would not believe in it (the Qur'an), and already the example of (Allah's punishment of) the ancients (who disbelieved) has gone forth.
&nbsp;
14. And even if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they were to continue ascending thereto,
&nbsp;
15. They would surely say: "Our eyes have been (as if) dazzled. Nay, we are a people bewitched."
&nbsp;
16. And indeed, We have put the big stars in the heaven and We beautified it for the beholders.
&nbsp;
17. And We have...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[1. Ha-Mim.
&nbsp;
[These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.]
&nbsp;
2. A revelation from Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
&nbsp;
3. A Book whereof the Verses are explained in detail; A Qur'an in Arabic for people who know.
&nbsp;
4. Giving glad tidings [of Paradise to the one who believes in the Oneness of Allah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) and fears Allah much (abstains from all kinds of sins and evil deeds) and loves Allah much (performing all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)], and warning (of punishment in the Hell Fire to the one who disbelieves in the Oneness of Allah), but most of them turn away, so they listen not.
&nbsp;
5. And they say: "Our hearts are under coverings (screened) from that to which you invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you is a screen, so work you (on your way); verily, we are working (on our way)."
&nbsp;
6. Say (O Muhammad ): "I am only a human being like you. It is inspired in me that your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God - Allah), therefore take Straight Path to Him (with true Faith Islamic Monotheism) and obedience to Him, and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe to Al-Mushrikun (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, idolaters, etc. - see V.2:105).
&nbsp;
7. Those who give not the Zakat and they are disbelievers in the Hereafter.
&nbsp;
8. Truly, those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism, and in His Messenger Muhammad ) and do righteous good deeds, for them will be an endless reward that will never stop (i.e. Paradise).
&nbsp;
9. Say (O Muhammad ): "Do you verily disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in two Days and you set up rivals (in worship) with Him? That is the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
&nbsp;
10. He placed therein (i.e. the earth) firm mountains from above it, and He blessed it, and measured therein its sustenance (for its dwellers) in four Days equal (i.e. all these four 'days' were equal in the length of ...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Faith & Knowledge]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[In this very but important lecture Sheikh Jafar Idris elaborates on the concept of Faith and Knowledge, a talk which continues from a previous lecture: "Ways of Improving One's Character" I supplicate to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, asking Him by the blessings and comprehension of His Ayah (Ittaqu Allah wa yu'alimukum Allah) which means: "have Taqwa of Allah, and Allah will teach you" to make our efforts as muslims a tool to increase Taqwa to all of us so as to be eligible that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala teaches us. We read in the Noble Qur'an: But those firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you. And the establishers of prayer [especially] and the givers of zakah and the believers in Allah and the Last Day - those We will give a great reward. [Al-Baqarah, Ayat 162] But Allah bears witness to that which He has revealed to you. He has sent it down with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness [as well]. And sufficient is Allah as Witness. [Al-Baqarah, Ayat 166] Allah witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. [Ali-Imran, Ayat 18] "Ittaqu Allah wa yu'alimukum Allah ...Have Taqwa of Allah and Allah Will Teach you, Will Give you Knowledge... So this means that Taqwa which is faith [consciousness] in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala helps you to learn more." About Dr. Jafar Sheikh Idris: &bull; Dr. Jaafar Sheikh Idris is considered one of few Muslim Scholars of this era who comprehended the knowledge of Islam and Western Ideologies. He authored many articles and research papers. He visited many countries around the world where he lectured in Arabic and English. &bull; Dr. Jaafar Sheikh Idris was born on 15th June 1931 in Port Sudan, Sudan. He grew up in the city of Port Sudan where he completed his elementary and secondary school. In addition to the modern school system, he ...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[In this first episode of Fundamentals of Faith, Abu Ammar Yassir Qadhi talks about the "Importance and Blessings of Islamic Knowledge". A must see lecture for all.
&nbsp;
"The Prophet, Salalahu Alaihi Wa Salam, preach La Ilaha Ila Lah, and many are the miracles that he has been given, really we can talk hours and hours about the number of miracles. They don't number in the hundreds, they number in the thousands! But his greatest miracle was the Miracle of the Qur'an. Whoever used to worship Allah Azza Wa Jall, then Allah is Al-Hayy, The Ever Living Who never dies!"
&nbsp;
This programme talks about Tawheed, the unshakeable belief in one God, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Islam is based on the belief of the one true God. All Prophets, Peace be upon them all, were sent with the Message of the Oneness of Allah Azza Wa Jall.]]></video:description>

The Signs of the Hour are the signs that will precede Yawm al-Qiyaamah (the Day of Judgement) and indicate that it is nigh. The Hour (al-Saa'ah) means the time of reckoning, and is either: 1. Saa'ah sughra (the lesser hour), which is a person's death, whereupon his reckoning starts when he leaves this world and passes into the Hereafter; 2. Or Saa'ah kubraa (the greater Hour), which is when mankind will be resurrected from their graves to be judged and rewarded or punished accordingly. When the word al-saa'ah is used on its own in the Qur'aan, it refers to the greater reckoning (the Day of Judgement), as in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): "People ask you concerning the Hour&hellip;" [al-Ahzaab 33:63] The Signs of the Hour (i.e., the Day of Judgement) are of two types: 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ashraat al-Saa'ah al-Sughra (Minor signs of the Hour)  These are signs that will appear a long time before the Hour approaches, such as the decline of knowledge, the spread of ignorance, drinking of wine or alcohol, competition in the construction of tall buildings, and many others. The scholars have listed almost sixty signs, some of which will accompany the major signs, or will appear afterwards. 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ashraat al-Saa'ah al-Kubraa (Major Signs of the Hour) These are major signs that will appear shortly before the Day of Judgement comes. These extraordinary events will be: (1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The appearance of the Mahdi. At the end of time, a man from the descendents of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) will appear, and Allaah will help him to make His religion prevail. He will take control of the land (or the earth) and fill it with justice just as it had previously been filled with wrongdoing and oppression. Under his rule, the ummah will be blessed as it has never been blessed before.  This man's name will be like the name of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and his father's namewill be like the Messenger's father's n...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[A speech by Yasir Qadhi given at the 10-day Peace: Vision of Islam Convention in Chennai (Madras), India on January 11th, 2008. After the half hour speech, there is entire half hour's worth of Q&amp;A, including a wonderful part where Shaykh Yasir helps Sartesh Babu accept Islam. Family or friends who don't enter Paradise. Are there beautiful men for women in Paradise? Does Hoor in the Quran mean women? Agnostics who do not believe in Islam. Will Muslims who commit shirk enter Paradise? How do I prove Islam is the true salvation? People who do not believe in any religion....
&nbsp;
Enjoy the video.

[These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].

2. (This is) a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His slave Zakariya (Zachariah).

3. When he called out his Lord (Allah) a call in secret,

7. (Allah said) "O Zakariya (Zachariah)! Verily, We give you the glad tidings of a son, His name will be Yahya (John). We have given that name to none before (him)."

8. He said: "My Lord! How can I have a son, when my wife is barren, and I have reached the extreme old age."
&nbsp;
9. He said: "So (it will be). Your Lord says; It is easy for Me. Certainly I have created you before, when you had been nothing!"
&nbsp;
10. [Zakariya (Zachariah)] said: "My Lord! Appoint for me a sign." He said: "Your sign is that you shall not speak unto mankind for three nights, though having no bodily defect."

11. Then he came out to his people from Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room, etc.), he told them by signs to glorify Allah's Praises in the morning and in the afternoon.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Does the Trinity Make Any Sense?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
The doctrine of redemption, and the basis of this doctrine which is their belief that the Messiah (peace be upon him) was crucified, is one of the basic doctrines of Christianity, so much so that they would gamble the entire religion on this doctrine. The English cardinal Manning says in his book &ldquo;Eternal Priesthood&rdquo;: &ldquo;The importance of this confusing topic is obvious, for if the death of Christ on the cross is not real, then the basis of the church&rsquo;s doctrine will crumble from its foundations, because if Christ did not die on the cross, then there is no sacrifice, no salvation, and no trinity&hellip; Paul, the Apostles and all the churches say that, i.e., if Christ did not die then there was no resurrection either.&rdquo;&nbsp;
This is what Paul said:&nbsp;
&ldquo;And if Christ has not been raised, then preaching is useless and so is your faith.&rdquo;
I Corinthians 15:14 &ndash; New International Version (NIV)&nbsp;
Just as they struggle with their belief in trinity and what it means, and how they can reconcile it with the belief in monotheism which is affirmed in the Old Testament (See the question: 12682), and just as they also struggle with everything that has to do with the crucifixion and its details, which is the basis of their belief in redemption which they believe is the reason for the crucifixion (see also no. 12615), we say: as confusion is inevitable for everyone who turns away from the light of revelation that came down from Allaah, similarly they are confused about the doctrine of redemption.&nbsp;
Does redemption mean saving all of mankind, as John says:&nbsp;
&ldquo;&hellip;Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world&rdquo;
I John 2:1-2 (NIV)?&nbsp;
Or is it only for those who believe and are baptized:&nbsp;
&ldquo;Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned&rdquo;
Mark 16:16 (NIV)?&nbsp;

      <video:title><![CDATA[Working on the Imaan (Faith)]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
On this site there is an essay entitled &ldquo;Weakness of Faith, which gives a detailed description of the weakness of faith that many people suffer, and explains the causes and the remedy. We advise you to read it. Here is the link:
&nbsp;
[http://63.175.194.25/books/dofuleeman/english.html].&nbsp;
&nbsp;
There follow two pieces of advice from major scholars, in addition to the above, summing up what is required on your part:&nbsp;
&nbsp;
1 &ndash; We advise you to read Qur&rsquo;aan a great deal, listen to its recitation and ponder the meanings of what you read and listen to, as much as you can. If you find anything difficult to understand then ask the scholars in your country or write to other Sunni scholars for advice.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
We also advise you to remember Allaah a great deal (dhikr) with the dhikrs narrated in the saheeh ahaadeeth, such as &ldquo;Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah (there is no god except Allaah)&rdquo;, &ldquo;Subhaan-Allaah wa&rsquo;l-hamdu Lillaah wa laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wa Allaahu akbar (Glory be to Allaah, praise be to Allaah, there is no god except Allaah and Allaah is Most Great)&rdquo;, and so on. For more information on this see al-Kalim al-Tayyib by Ibn Taymiyah; al-Waabil al-Sayyib by Ibn al-Qayyim; Riyaadh al-Saaliheen [available in English]; al-Adhkaar al-Nawawiyyah by Imaam al-Nawawi, and so on.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Remembering Allaah (dhikr) increases faith and brings peace of mind. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&ldquo;verily, in the remembrance of Allaah do hearts find rest&rdquo;
&nbsp;
[al-Ra&rsquo;d 13:28]&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Regularly perform acts of worship such as prayer, fasting and the other pillars of Islam, whilst hoping for the mercy of Allaah and putting your trust in Him in all your affairs. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&ldquo;The believers are only those who, when Allaah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur&rsquo;aan) are recited unto them, they (i...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[These are inspiring personal stories of Americans choosing Islam. Let this video help you rekindle the faith in your heart!Their stories are amazing and different, but their ultimate destination is the same: Islam. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and America is no exception to this phenomena. This video helps to demystify this amazing trend.This is a collection of interviews with Americans of different racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds who explain why they have chosen to become Muslim, embracing the faith of over 1 billion humans worldwide.Some of these people are:Rafael Narbaez a former pastor with the Jehovah's Witnesses. Narbaez was born and raised in Texas and he is from a Hispanic family. While he grew up as a Catholic he later became a Jehovah's Witness. Initially, he started reading the Quran to get a better understanding of the Bible, but instead, it helped him understand Islam. He later embraced the faith.Dr. Muhammad Eckhaus was born in New York to a Jewish family. He was impressed by the generosity and humility of Muslims, which brought him closer to Islam and finally he accepted the faith.Yusuf Islam, the former Cat Stevens was a world famous rock star in the 1970s. Islam was from a Greek Orthodox family and experimented with many different religions seeking inner peace. One day, he received a copy of the Quran as a birthday gift from his brother David. After reading the Quran, Islam decided to leave his life in the entertainment industry for life as a Muslim, since it was this faith which gave him the inner peace he was seeking.Br. Omar Abdur Rahman, a lawyer, first read the highly controversial anti-Islamic book Satanic Verses. Then, he decided to read the Quran to get the other side of the story. He eventually became a Muslim.Sister Aisha Mustafa is editor of Chicago-based newspaper The Muslim Journal.

      <video:description><![CDATA[&nbsp;
Praise be to Allaah.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
All praise be to Allah, the lord of the universe. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon Mohammad, His last messenger.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The purpose of this hand-out is to correct a false idea spread among those willing to adopt Islam as their faith. Some people have a wrong notion that entering into th Islamic fold requires an announcement from the concerned person in the presence of high ranking scholars or shaikhs or reporting this act to courts of justice or other authorities. It is also thought that the act accepting Islam, should, as a condition, have a certificate issued by the authorities, as evidence to that effect.
&nbsp;
We wish to clarify that whole matter is very easy and that none of these conditions or obligations are required. For Allah, Almighty, is above all comprehension and knows well the secrets of all hearts. Nevertheless, those who are going to adopt Islam as their religion are advised to register themselves as Muslims with the concerned governmental agency, as this procedure may facilitate for them many matters including the possibility of performing Hajj (Pilgrimage) and Umrah.
&nbsp;
If anyone has a real desire to be a muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion ordained by Allah for all human-being, then, one should pronounce the &ldquo;shahada&rdquo;, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The Holy Qur&rsquo;an is explicit on this regard as Allah states :
&nbsp;
&ldquo;The Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:19)
&nbsp;
in another verse of the Holy Qur&rsquo;an, Allah states :
&nbsp;
&ldquo;If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (their selves in the hell fire).&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:85)
&nbsp;
In addition, Islam is the only religion prevailing over all other religions. Allah states in the Holy Qur&rsquo;an :
&nbsp;

Some people have a wrong notion that entering into th Islamic fold requires an announcement from the concerned person in the presence of high ranking scholars or shaikhs or reporting this act to courts of justice or other authorities. It is also thought that the act accepting Islam, should, as a condition, have a certificate issued by the authorities, as evidence to that effect.
&nbsp;
We wish to clarify that whole matter is very easy and that none of these conditions or obligations are required. For Allah, Almighty, is above all comprehension and knows well the secrets of all hearts. Nevertheless, those who are going to adopt Islam as their religion are advised to register themselves as Muslims with the concerned governmental agency, as this procedure may facilitate for them many matters including the possibility of performing Hajj (Pilgrimage) and Umrah.
&nbsp;
If anyone has a real desire to be a muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion ordained by Allah for all human-being, then, one should pronounce the &ldquo;shahada&rdquo;, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The Holy Qur&rsquo;an is explicit on this regard as Allah states :
&nbsp;
&ldquo;The Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:19)
&nbsp;
in another verse of the Holy Qur&rsquo;an, Allah states :
&nbsp;
&ldquo;If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (their selves in the hell fire).&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:85)
&nbsp;
In addition, Islam is the only religion prevailing over all other religions. Allah states in the Holy Qur&rsquo;an :
&nbsp;
&ldquo;To thee We sent the Scr...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Muslim Call to Prayer - Adhan]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Firstly:&nbsp;
Adhaan in Arabic means proclaiming or announcing. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And proclaim [adhdhin] to mankind the Hajj (pilgrimage)&rdquo;
[al-Hajj 22:27]&nbsp;
In sharee&rsquo;ah terminology it means: worshipping Allaah by announcing the time of the obligatory prayer, using phrases that have been narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), in a specific manner.&nbsp;
Secondly:&nbsp;
The fuqaha&rsquo; are agreed that the adhaan is one of the unique features and manifest symbols of Islam, but they differ as to the rulings on it. Some say that it is fard kifaayah (a communal obligation); this is the view of Imam Ahmad and was the view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah; among contemporary scholars it is the view of Shaykh Ibn &lsquo;Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him).&nbsp;
And some said that it is Sunnah mu&rsquo;akkadah.&nbsp;
The correct view is that it is fard kifaayah; if someone who is competent does it, the rest are absolved of sin.&nbsp;
The evidence for that comes from the Sunnah. &nbsp;
It was narrated that Maalik ibn al-Huwayrith said: we came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when we were young men close in age, and we stayed with him for twenty days. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was merciful and kind; he thought that we were missing our families so he asked us about our families whom we had left behind, then he said, &ldquo;Go back to your families, and stay with them; teach them and instruct them. When the time for prayer comes, let one of you give the call to prayer and let the oldest of you lead you in prayer.&rdquo;&nbsp;
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 602; Muslim, 674).&nbsp;
According to a report narrated by al-Bukhaari, 604: &ldquo;When you both go out, give the call to prayer (adhaan), then the call immediately before the prayer (iqaamah), then let the older of you lead you in prayer.&rdquo;&nbsp;

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Praise be to Allaah and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger and Chosen Prophet.&nbsp;
Tawheed in Arabic means attributing Oneness to Allaah and describing Him as being One and Unique, with no partner or peer in His Essence and Attributes. &nbsp;
The Arabs say waahid, ahad and waheed, all meaning one. Allaah is Waahid, meaning that He has no rivals or peers in any way. So Tawheed means knowing Allaah is One, with none like unto Him. Whoever does not acknowledge Allaah in these terms and does not describe Him as being One with no partner or associate does not believe in Tawheed.&nbsp;
With regard to the shar&rsquo;i definition of Tawheed, it means believing in Allaah alone as God and Lord and attributing to Him alone all the attributes of Lordship and divinity. &nbsp;
It may be defined as follows: Believing that Allaah is One with no partner or associate in His Lordship (ruboobiyyah), divinity (uloohiyyah) or names and attributes (al-asma&rsquo; wa&rsquo;l-sifaat).&nbsp;
This word (Tawheed) and its derivatives are used with this meaning in the Qur&rsquo;aan and Sunnah. For example:&nbsp;
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Say (O Muhammad): He is Allaah, (the) One [Ahad]. 
2.&nbsp;Allaah‑us‑Samad [Allaah &mdash; the Self‑Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, (He neither eats nor drinks)].
3.&nbsp;He begets not, nor was He begotten.
4.&nbsp;And there is none co‑equal or comparable unto Him&rdquo;
[al-Ikhlaas 112:1-3]&nbsp;
&ldquo;And your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah [ilaahun waahidun] (God &mdash; Allaah), Laa Ilaaha illa Huwa (there is none who has the right to be worshipped but He), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful&rdquo;
[al-Baqarah 2:163]&nbsp;
&ldquo;Surely, disbelievers are those who said: &lsquo;Allaah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).&rsquo; But there is no Ilaah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilaah [ilaahun waahidun] (God &mdash;Allaah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painfu...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to come out of his house on the day of Jumu&rsquo;ah (Friday) and climb up on his minbar. Then the muezzin would give the Adhaan, and when he finished, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would start his khutbah. If there were any Sunnah prayer to be done before Jumu&rsquo;ah, he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would have told them about it and directed them to do it after the Adhaan, and he would have done it himself. At the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) there was nothing apart from the Adhaan just before the khutbah.
Hence the majority of the imaams agreed that there is no sunnah to be done at a specific time before Jumu&rsquo;ah with a specific number of rak&rsquo;ahs, because that would have been reported from the words or actions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and nothing of that nature has been reported from him. This is the madhhab of Maalik, al-Shaafa&rsquo;i and most of his companions, and is the well known view in the madhhab of Ahmad.
Al-&lsquo;Iraaqi said:
&ldquo;I have not seen anything to indicate that the three imaams recommended praying Sunnah before it [Jumu&rsquo;ah].&rdquo;
The muhaddith al-Albaani commented:
For that reason this so-called Sunnah is not mentioned in Kitaab al-Umm by Imaam al-Shaafa&rsquo;i, or in al-Masaa&rsquo;il by Imaam Ahmad, or by any of the other early imaams, as far as I know.
Hence I say:
Those who pray this Sunnah are not following the Messenger or imitating any of the imaams; on the contrary, they are imitating the later scholars who are like them in that they are also imitators [of earlier scholars] rather than mujtahideen [scholars who investigate and form their own rulings]. I am amazed to see an imitator imitating another imitator.

It is not obligatory for a Muslim to follow any particular madhhab among these four. People vary in their level of understanding and ability to derive rulings from the evidence. There are some for whom it is permissible to follow (taqleed), and indeed it may be obligatory in their case. There are others who can only follow the shar&rsquo;i evidence.

It is not obligatory for a Muslim to follow any particular madhhab among these four. People vary in their level of understanding and ability to derive rulings from the evidence. There are some for whom it is permissible to follow (taqleed), and indeed it may be obligatory in their case. There are others who can only follow the shar&rsquo;i evidence. In  Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa&rsquo;imah this question was answered in a detailed manner, which is worth quoting here in full.&nbsp;
Question:&nbsp;
What is the ruling on following one of the four madhhabs in all cases and situations?&nbsp;
The Committee replied:&nbsp;
Praise be to Allaah, and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger and his family and companions.&nbsp;
Firstly: the four madhhabs are named after the four imams &ndash; Imam Abu Haneefah, Imam Maalik, Imam al-Shaafa&rsquo;i and Imam Ahmad.&nbsp;
Secondly: These imams learned fiqh (jurisprudence) from the Qur&rsquo;aan and Sunnah, and they are mujtahideen in this regard. The mujtahid either gets it right, in which case he will have two rewards, the reward for his ijtihaad and the reward for getting it right, or he will get it wrong, in which case he will be rewarded for his ijtihaad and will be forgiven for his mistake.&nbsp;
Thirdly: the one who is able to derive rulings from the Qur&rsquo;aan and Sunnah should take from them like those who came before him; it is not right for him to follow blindly (taqleed) when he is believes that the truth lies elsewhere. Rather he should follow that which he believes is the truth. It is permissible for him to follow in matters in which he is unable to come to a conclusion based on the Qur&rsquo;aan and Sunnah and he needs guidelines concerning a particular issue.&nbsp;
Fourthly:&nbsp; Whoever does not have the ability to derive rulings himself is permitted to follow one whom he feels comfortable following. If he is not comfortable following him then he should ask until he finds someone with whom he is comfortable. &nbsp;
Fifthly...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Is Jesus God? (16)]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
&nbsp;
We have previously explained that the Gospel in which we believe, and no one's Islam is valid unless he believes in it, is not the gospels that are in the hands of the Christians nowadays. Rather the Gospel in which we believe is that which was brought by &lsquo;Eesa (Jesus &ndash; peace be upon him) from Allaah. As for that which is in the hands of the Christians today, it is something else, and they themselves do not claim that Jesus is the one who brought it or wrote it. See question no. 47516.&nbsp;
As that is the case, what the Christians claim about the Gospels stating that Jesus is the son of God and that God is his father &ndash;exalted be Allaah above having a son or a wife &ndash; does not count as any kind of proof against us, because we believe that that is something that was fabricated by human beings, and it is not part of the religion of Jesus (peace be upon him) or the religion of any other Messenger.&nbsp;
We believe that the Gospels that are in people&rsquo;s hands today, in which the Christians believe, have been tampered with and changed, and are still being tampered with from time to time, so that there is nothing left in the form in which the Gospel was revealed from Allaah. Here we would point out that the Gospel which speaks most of the belief in the trinity and the divinity of the Messiah (peace be upon him), so that it has become a reference-point for the Christians in their arguments in support of this falsehood, is the Gospel of John. This Gospel is subject to doubts about its authorship even among some Christian scholars themselves, as is not the case with the other Gospels in which they believe. This is an ancient doubt which goes back to the second century CE according to their own history.&nbsp;

We have previously explained that the Gospel in which we believe, and no one's Islam is valid unless he believes in it, is not the gospels that are in the hands of the Christians nowadays. Rather the Gospel in which we believe is that which was brought by &lsquo;Eesa (Jesus &ndash; peace be upon him) from Allaah. As for that which is in the hands of the Christians today, it is something else, and they themselves do not claim that Jesus is the one who brought it or wrote it. See question no. 47516.&nbsp;
As that is the case, what the Christians claim about the Gospels stating that Jesus is the son of God and that God is his father &ndash;exalted be Allaah above having a son or a wife &ndash; does not count as any kind of proof against us, because we believe that that is something that was fabricated by human beings, and it is not part of the religion of Jesus (peace be upon him) or the religion of any other Messenger.&nbsp;
We believe that the Gospels that are in people&rsquo;s hands today, in which the Christians believe, have been tampered with and changed, and are still being tampered with from time to time, so that there is nothing left in the form in which the Gospel was revealed from Allaah. Here we would point out that the Gospel which speaks most of the belief in the trinity and the divinity of the Messiah (peace be upon him), so that it has become a reference-point for the Christians in their arguments in support of this falsehood, is the Gospel of John. This Gospel is subject to doubts about its authorship even among some Christian scholars themselves, as is not the case with the other Gospels in which they believe. This is an ancient doubt which goes back to the second century CE according to their own history.&nbsp;

      <video:title><![CDATA[Polygamy In Islam]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Allaah concluded His Message to mankind with the religion of Islam, and He tells us that He will not accept any religion other than that. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers&rdquo;
[Aal &lsquo;Imraan 3:85]&nbsp;
Your backing away from the religion of Islam is considered to be a loss for you, and a loss of the happiness that awaited you, had you entered Islam. You should hasten to enter Islam, and beware of delaying, for that delay may lead to regrettable consequences.&nbsp;
With regard to what you mention about the reason for your backing off being the idea of plural marriage [polygamy or polygyny], we will present to you the ruling on plural marriage in Islam, and then the wisdom and noble purposes behind it.&nbsp;
1 &ndash; The ruling on plural marriage in Islam:&nbsp;
The shar&rsquo;i text which permits plural marriage is:&nbsp;
Allaah says in His Holy Book (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice&rdquo;
[al-Nisa&rsquo; 4:3]&nbsp;
This is a Qur&rsquo;aanic text which shows that plural marriage is allowed. According to Islamic sharee&rsquo;ah, a man is permitted to marry one, two, three or four wives, in the sense that he may have this number of wives at one time. It is not permissible for him to have more than four. This was stated by the mufassireen (commentators on the Qur&rsquo;aan) and fuqaha&rsquo; (jurists), and there is consensus among the Muslims on this point, with no differing opinions.&nbsp;
It should be noted that there are conditions attached to plural marriage:&nbsp;

      <video:title><![CDATA[What's Original Sin?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
The doctrine of redemption, and the basis of this doctrine which is their belief that the Messiah (peace be upon him) was crucified, is one of the basic doctrines of Christianity, so much so that they would gamble the entire religion on this doctrine. The English cardinal Manning says in his book &ldquo;Eternal Priesthood&rdquo;: &ldquo;The importance of this confusing topic is obvious, for if the death of Christ on the cross is not real, then the basis of the church&rsquo;s doctrine will crumble from its foundations, because if Christ did not die on the cross, then there is no sacrifice, no salvation, and no trinity&hellip; Paul, the Apostles and all the churches say that, i.e., if Christ did not die then there was no resurrection either.&rdquo;&nbsp;
This is what Paul said:&nbsp;
&ldquo;And if Christ has not been raised, then preaching is useless and so is your faith.&rdquo;
I Corinthians 15:14 &ndash; New International Version (NIV)&nbsp;
Just as they struggle with their belief in trinity and what it means, and how they can reconcile it with the belief in monotheism which is affirmed in the Old Testament (See the question: 12682), and just as they also struggle with everything that has to do with the crucifixion and its details, which is the basis of their belief in redemption which they believe is the reason for the crucifixion (see also no. 12615), we say: as confusion is inevitable for everyone who turns away from the light of revelation that came down from Allaah, similarly they are confused about the doctrine of redemption.&nbsp;
Does redemption mean saving all of mankind, as John says:&nbsp;
&ldquo;&hellip;Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world&rdquo;
I John 2:1-2 (NIV)?&nbsp;
Or is it only for those who believe and are baptized:&nbsp;
&ldquo;Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned&rdquo;
Mark 16:16 (NIV)?&nbsp;

      <video:title><![CDATA[Is the Qur'an Copied from the Bible?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Firstly:&nbsp;
Allaah often mentions the Messiah &lsquo;Eesa ibn Maryam (Jesus son of Mary) in His Book the Qur&rsquo;aan for a number of reasons, including the following:&nbsp;
1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He is one of His Prophets, indeed he is one of the Messengers of strong will whom He sent to His creation and His slaves. It is obligatory to believe in him as in all the other Prophets, as enjoined by Allaah in the verse (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allaah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibraaheem (Abraham), Ismaa&rsquo;eel (Ishmael), Ishaaq (Isaac), Ya&rsquo;qoob (Jacob), and to Al-Asbaat [the offspring of the twelve sons of Ya&rsquo;qoob (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Moosa (Moses) and &lsquo;Eesa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)&rdquo;
[al-Baqarah 2:136]&nbsp;
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The first people whom we should be concerned about when calling others to Islam are the People of the Book, i.e., the Jews and the Christians, because they are the closest of later nations to whom the later Messengers were sent. Both the Jews and the Christians knew of the coming of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his attributes were written in their books, the Tawraat (Torah) and Injeel (Gospel). So they should not deny what they find in their books and they should hasten to believe in him, because they already believe in the Messengers who came before him, unlike other nations who worshipped idols. Because they did not believe in the Last Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as they were enjoined to do, they had to be refuted and shown how they had distorted the message of divine Oneness (Tawheed). This is why they are frequently mentioned in the verses of the Qur&rsquo;aan.&nbsp;

That is purer for them. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do.And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to their own husbands or fathers or husbands fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons, or their brothers or their brothers' sons or sisters sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack vigor, or children who know naught of women's nakedness. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn unto Allah together, O believers, in order that ye may succeed. (Quran 24:30-31)]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[No Compulsion in Religion]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah.
&nbsp;
Firstly:&nbsp;
The words of Allah, may He be exalted (interpretation of the meaning): &ldquo;There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path&rdquo; [al-Baqrah 2:256] are not contrary to the command to fight the mushrikeen who turn people away from the religion of Allah, cause mischief on earth and spread kufr, shirk and corruption. Fighting them is one of the greatest deeds by means of which people prosper on earth and enjoy safety and stability, as Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): &ldquo;And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone&rdquo; [al-Anfaal 8:39].&nbsp;
Islam aims to achieve that which is in people&rsquo;s interests and to protect them from that which is harmful to them.&nbsp;
The meaning of this verse is that the teachings of Islam are very clear and the proof and evidence of its soundness are so clear and definitive that there is no need for compulsion. Whoever comes to know the reality of Islam and is not stubborn or arrogant will enter Islam willingly. Rather the one who does not want to enter it is the one who is arrogant and stubborn, who does not accept Allah as his Lord or His Prophet as his messenger, and does not believe in the Book that was revealed to him. For that reason, those mushrikeen who adhere to their false religion and fight in support of their religion out of arrogance and seek to spread mischief and kufr on earth are to be fought.&nbsp;
Nothing is more indicative of that than the fact that at the beginning of Islam people entered the religion of Allah in crowds, the religion in the name of which their fathers, relatives and friends had been killed.&nbsp;
Many of the Sahaabah became Muslim after having fought to defend kufr, such as Khaalid ibn al-Waleed, &lsquo;Amr ibn al-&lsquo;Aas, Abu Sufyaan ibn Harb, Mu&lsquo;aawiyah ibn Abi Sufyaan and many other...]]></video:description>

&nbsp;
Firstly:&nbsp;
There is no doubt that the attributes of Allah are different with regard to their meanings. The attribute of power is not the same as the attribute of might, which is not the same as the attribute of knowledge. No rational person would say that they are similar to one another in terms of meanings. We will explain that further below.&nbsp;
Secondly:&nbsp;
The belief of Ahl as-Sunnah wa&rsquo;l-Jamaa&lsquo;ah concerning the names of Allah is that they are the same in that they refer to His Essence, may He be glorified and exalted, and are different with regard to their meanings. &nbsp;
To explain that further, we say: His names al-Qadeer (the Powerful), al-&lsquo;Aleem (The All-Knowing), al-&lsquo;Azeez (the Almighty), al-Hakeem (the Wise) &ndash; for example &ndash; all point to one Essence, which is the holy Essence of Allah. So in this regard they are the same and not different. But at the same time, the attributes of power, knowledge, might and wisdom differ from one another. So in this sense they differ from one another.&nbsp;
So the beautiful names of Allah are synonymous in that they refer to one Essence, but the attributes referred to in those names differ from one another.&nbsp;
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:&nbsp;
Allah, may He be glorified, has told us that He is All-Knowing, Powerful, All-Hearing, All-Seeing, Forgiving, Most Merciful, and other names and attributes. We understand the meaning of that, and we can differentiate between knowledge and power, between mercy and hearing and vision; we know that all the names agree in that they refer to the Essence of Allah. Even though they have different meanings, they are in agreement and are the same with regard to His Essence, different with regard to His Attributes.&nbsp;
Majmoo&lsquo; al-Fataawa, 3/59&nbsp;
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-&lsquo;Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:&nbsp;
The names and attributes of Allah, may He be exalted, are names in that they refer ...]]></video:description>

We have previously explained that the Gospel in which we believe, and no one's Islam is valid unless he believes in it, is not the gospels that are in the hands of the Christians nowadays. Rather the Gospel in which we believe is that which was brought by &lsquo;Eesa (Jesus &ndash; peace be upon him) from Allaah. As for that which is in the hands of the Christians today, it is something else, and they themselves do not claim that Jesus is the one who brought it or wrote it. See question no. 47516.&nbsp;
As that is the case, what the Christians claim about the Gospels stating that Jesus is the son of God and that God is his father &ndash;exalted be Allaah above having a son or a wife &ndash; does not count as any kind of proof against us, because we believe that that is something that was fabricated by human beings, and it is not part of the religion of Jesus (peace be upon him) or the religion of any other Messenger.&nbsp;
We believe that the Gospels that are in people&rsquo;s hands today, in which the Christians believe, have been tampered with and changed, and are still being tampered with from time to time, so that there is nothing left in the form in which the Gospel was revealed from Allaah. Here we would point out that the Gospel which speaks most of the belief in the trinity and the divinity of the Messiah (peace be upon him), so that it has become a reference-point for the Christians in their arguments in support of this falsehood, is the Gospel of John. This Gospel is subject to doubts about its authorship even among some Christian scholars themselves, as is not the case with the other Gospels in which they believe. This is an ancient doubt which goes back to the second century CE according to their own history.&nbsp;
Professor Stadlin says:&nbsp; The entire Gospel of John was written by one of the students of the Alexandrian school. One sect, in the second century, rejected this Gospel and everything that was attributed to John.&nbsp;

      <video:title><![CDATA[Salvation in Islam vs. Salvation in Christianity]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
The doctrine of redemption, and the basis of this doctrine which is their belief that the Messiah (peace be upon him) was crucified, is one of the basic doctrines of Christianity, so much so that they would gamble the entire religion on this doctrine. The English cardinal Manning says in his book &ldquo;Eternal Priesthood&rdquo;: &ldquo;The importance of this confusing topic is obvious, for if the death of Christ on the cross is not real, then the basis of the church&rsquo;s doctrine will crumble from its foundations, because if Christ did not die on the cross, then there is no sacrifice, no salvation, and no trinity&hellip; Paul, the Apostles and all the churches say that, i.e., if Christ did not die then there was no resurrection either.&rdquo;&nbsp;
This is what Paul said:&nbsp;
&ldquo;And if Christ has not been raised, then preaching is useless and so is your faith.&rdquo;
I Corinthians 15:14 &ndash; New International Version (NIV)&nbsp;
Just as they struggle with their belief in trinity and what it means, and how they can reconcile it with the belief in monotheism which is affirmed in the Old Testament (See the question: 12682), and just as they also struggle with everything that has to do with the crucifixion and its details, which is the basis of their belief in redemption which they believe is the reason for the crucifixion (see also no. 12615), we say: as confusion is inevitable for everyone who turns away from the light of revelation that came down from Allaah, similarly they are confused about the doctrine of redemption.&nbsp;
Does redemption mean saving all of mankind, as John says:&nbsp;
&ldquo;&hellip;Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world&rdquo;
I John 2:1-2 (NIV)?&nbsp;
Or is it only for those who believe and are baptized:&nbsp;
&ldquo;Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned&rdquo;
Mark 16:16 (NIV)?&nbsp;

If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to allah.s Will). ( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #64)
&nbsp;
There is among them a section who distort the book with their tongues: (As they read) you would think it is a part of the book, but it is no part of the book; and they say, "That is from allah," but it is not from allah. It is they who tell a lie against allah, and (well) they know it! ( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #78)
&nbsp;
Say: "We believe in allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to allah do we bow our will (in Islam)." ( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #84)
&nbsp;
Say: "O ye People of the book! Why obstruct ye those who believe, from the path of allah, Seeking to make it crooked, while ye were yourselves witnesses (to allah.s Covenant)? but allah is not unmindful of all that ye do." ( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #99)
&nbsp;
And remember allah took a covenant from the People of the book, to make it known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it; but they threw it away behind their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain! And vile was the bargain they made! ( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #187)]]></video:description>

1 &ndash; Facing the direction of the Ka&rsquo;bah&nbsp;
1-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When you stand up to pray, face the direction of the Ka&rsquo;bah wherever you are, in both fard (obligatory) and naafil (supererogatory) prayers. This is one of the pillars of prayer, without which prayer is not valid.
2-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The obligation of facing the direction of prayer does not apply to one who is engaged in warfare, when he prays the fear prayer (salaat al-khawf) or is engaged in heavy fighting. It also does not apply to those who are unable to do it, such as one who is sick, or one who is traveling on a ship, in a car or on a plane, if they fear that the time of the prayer will elapse (before they reach a place where they can find the correct direction). And it does not apply to one who is praying a naafil prayer or witr prayer whilst riding on a riding-animal etc., but it is mustahabb for him to face the qiblah if he is able to do so when pronouncing the takbeer of ihraam (at the beginning of the prayer), then he may face whatever direction he is facing.
3-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Everyone who can see the Ka&rsquo;bah must face it; those who cannot see it must face its direction.&nbsp;
Ruling on not facing the Ka&rsquo;bah in prayer by mistake:&nbsp;
4-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If a person prays not facing the qiblah, because of clouds [preventing him from working out the direction from the position of the sun] or some other reason, after he did his best to work out the right direction, his prayer is valid and he does not have to repeat it.

&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Maryam the daughter of &lsquo;Imraan was a pious and righteous woman&hellip; She strove hard in worship until she had no peer in matters of worship&hellip; The angels gave her the glad tidings that Allaah had chosen her:&nbsp;
&ldquo;And (remember) when the angels said: &lsquo;O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allaah has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the &lsquo;Aalameen (mankind and jinn) (of her lifetime).&rsquo; 
O Maryam! &lsquo;Submit yourself with obedience to your Lord (Allaah, by worshipping none but Him Alone) and prostrate yourself, and bow down along with Ar-Raaki&lsquo;oon (those who bow down)&rsquo;&rdquo;

      <video:title><![CDATA[Foundations of Islamic Study - Part 4]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah,
&nbsp;
The people of Sunnah and Jama&rsquo;ah (adherents to the prophetic way) believe that Allah is exalted above His creation because of the evidence of the Quran, Sunnah (prophetic traditions), consensus of the scholars, common sense and man&rsquo;s innate instinct (fitrah). (1) The Quran describes the "exaltedness" or "highness" of Allah in different ways, as His being high and above, and by describing how things come down from Him, and go up to Him, and by stating that He is above heaven. For example (interpretations of the meaning): (Highness): "&hellip; and He is the Most High, the Most Great." [2:255] "Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High." [87:1] (Above): "And He is the Irresistible, above His slaves &hellip;" [6:18] "They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded." [16:50] (Things coming down from Him): "He arranges (every) affair from the heavens to the earth &hellip; " [32:5] "Verily We: it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e., the Quran) &hellip;" [15:9] (Things going up to Him): "&hellip; To Him ascend (all) the goodly words, and the righteous deeds exalt it &hellip;" [35:10] "The angels and the Rooh (Jibreel) ascend to Him &hellip;" [70:4] (Allah is above heaven): "Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven, will not cause the earth to sink with you &hellip;?" [67:16] (2) The Sunnah: Many reports were narrated "mutawatir" (i.e. with a large number of narrators at every stage of the isnad/chain, such that it is impossible for them all to have agreed on a lie) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), describing his words and deeds and things of which he approved. For example, he used to say "Subhana Rabbi al-A&rsquo;la (Glory be to my Lord Most High)" in sujood (prostration), and in some ahadeeth (reports) he is reported to have said "By Allah Who is above the Throne." Among his deeds is the gesture of pointing up with his finger, when addressing the people in the greatest gathering, on the Day of &lsquo;Arafah durin...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[How to Perform Ablution (Wudu)]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Firstly we praise Allaah for having guided you and opened your heart. We ask Allaah to make us and you steadfast in obeying Him. We appreciate your efforts to learn about your religion and we advise you to strive to acquire knowledge so that your worship will be correct. Try to learn Arabic so that you will be able to read Qur&rsquo;aan and understand it properly. We ask Allaah to bless you with beneficial knowledge.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
With regard to how wudoo&rsquo; is to be done, there are two ways.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
1 &ndash; Obligatory parts of wudoo&rsquo;, which are as follows:&nbsp;
&nbsp;
(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Washing the face completely once, which includes rinsing the mouth and nose.
&nbsp;
(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Washing the arms up to the elbows, once.
&nbsp;
(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wiping the entire head, including the ears.
&nbsp;
(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Washing the feet up to ankles, once.
&nbsp;
What is meant by once in all the above is that the entire part of the body mentioned must be washed thoroughly.
&nbsp;
(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This must be done in order, so one washes the face first, then the arms, then wipes the head, then washes the feet, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did wudoo&rsquo; in this order.
&nbsp;
(vi)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This must be done continuously, i.e., the parts of the body must be washed one after the other with no lengthy interruption between washing one part and the next.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
These are the obligatory parts of wudoo&rsquo; which must be done in order for wudoo&rsquo; to be sound.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The evidence for these obligatory parts of wudoo&rsquo; is the aayah in which ...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Don't Miss Fajr]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
&nbsp;
Muslim (657) narrated that Jundub ibn &lsquo;Abd-Allaah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Whoever prays Fajr is under the protection of Allaah, so do not fall short with regard to the rights of Allaah, for anyone who does that, Allaah will seize him and will throw him on his face into the Fire of Hell.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Al-Teebi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The reason why Fajr prayer is singled out for mention here is because of the hardship that it entails, and performing it is a sign of a man&rsquo;s sincerity and faith, and whoever is a sincere believer is under the protection of Allaah. Sharh Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh by al-Teebi (2/184).&nbsp;
There are two scholarly views on the meaning of the hadeeth:&nbsp;
1 &ndash; The hadeeth indicates that it is forbidden to harm any Muslim who prays Fajr, for the one who prays Fajr is under the care and protection of Allaah, and it is not permissible for anyone to harm the one whom Allaah has protected. If anyone harms him, he has transgressed and violated the protection of Allaah, so he deserves the punishment of Allaah for having transgressed His protection and for harming the one who is under His protection. See Fayd al-Qadeer by al-Manaawi (6/164).&nbsp;
Shaykh Ibn &lsquo;Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen (1/591):&nbsp;
This indicates that it is obligatory to respect the Muslims who affirm their Islam by praying Fajr, because no one offers Fajr prayer but a believer. And it is not permissible for anyone to transgress against them. End quote.&nbsp;
This is also indicated by the report narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Mu&rsquo;jam al-Awsat (4/5) with his isnaad. Al-Albaani said in  Saheeh al-Targheeb (1/110): it is saheeh because of corroborating reports.&nbsp;
It was narrated that al-A&rsquo;mash said: Saalim ibn &lsquo;Abd-Allaah ibn &lsquo;Umar was sitting with al-Hajjaaj and al-Hajjaaj said to him: Get up and strike this person&rsquo;s neck....]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Riba - Modern Day Interest]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah.
&nbsp;
Riba means an increase in a particular item. The word is derived from a root meaning increase or growth. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): &ldquo;Whatever you pay as interest so that it may increase (li yarbu) the wealth of people does not increase (fa la yarbu) in the sight of Allah&rdquo; [ar-Room 30:39]., i.e., it does not increase or rise in status before Allah.&nbsp;
Riba originated among the people of the Jaahiliyyah; if a debt became due, they would say to him (the borrower): Give us one hundred (that is due, now), or increase it to one hundred and fifty (and pay later). Then when the one hundred and fifty became due, they would say: Give us one hundred and fifty (now), or increase it to two hundred (and pay later) -- and so on.&nbsp;
Islam also forbade another kind of riba, namely riba al-fadl, which means adding to the amount when exchanging one item for another of the same type. So if gold is sold for gold, that is not permissible except like for like, hand to hand. Islam stipulated that the exchange should be done hand to hand and that the items or goods should be of the same quality. Whoever gives more or asks for more has engaged in riba. If he sells a saa&lsquo; of wheat for two saa&lsquo;s (of the same commodity), even if it is hand to hand, he has engaged in riba.&nbsp;
The principle of the circulation of capital exists in both the Muslim world and the non-Muslim world. What it means is circulating capital so that it will increase. The same applies to lending; they give money as a loan provided that it will increase when they get it back. Such transactions are undoubtedly riba.&nbsp;
There is nothing wrong with the principle of the circulation of capital if the capital is invested in trade or business, and the profit is shared between the owner of the capital and the worker. This is called mudaarabah (profit sharing), and there is nothing wrong with it if the capital is kept distinct from the profit. If this money is deposited in a riba-b...]]></video:description>

In the name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful&nbsp;
&ldquo;The revelation of the Book (this Qur&rsquo;aan) is from Allaah, the All Mighty, the All Knower. 
The Forgiver of sin, the Acceptor of repentance, the Severe in punishment, the Bestower (of favours). Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), to Him is the final return&rdquo;[Ghaafir 40:2-3 &ndash; interpretation of the meaning] 
&nbsp;Ibn &lsquo;Abbaas &ndash; who was one of the companions of the Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) &ndash; narrated that some of the people of shirk (polytheism) killed and did a lot of killing, and they committed adultery and they did that a great deal, then they came to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, &ldquo;What you say and what you are calling for is good. If only you could tell us that there is any expiation for what we have done.&rdquo; Then Allaah revealed the words (interpretation of the meaning):
&lsquo;Say: &ldquo;O &lsquo;Ibaadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah, verily, Allaah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful. 
And turn in repentance and in obedience with true Faith (Islamic Monotheism) to your Lord and submit to Him (in Islam) before the torment comes upon you, (and) then you will not be helped. 
And follow the best of that which is sent down to you from your Lord (i.e. this Qur&rsquo;aan, do what it orders you to do and keep away from what it forbids), before the torment comes on you suddenly while you perceive not!&rdquo; 
Lest a person should say: &ldquo;Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allaah (i.e. I have not done what Allaah has ordered me to do), and I was indeed among those who mocked [at the truth! i.e. Laa ilaaha illAllaah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allaah), the Qur&rsquo;aan, and Muhammad and at the faithful believers]

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
Shaving the beard is haraam because of the saheeh ahaadeeth that clearly state this, and because of the general application of texts that forbid resembling the kuffaar. One of these reports is the hadeeth of Ibn &lsquo;Umar who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Be different from the mushrikeen: let your beards grow and trim your moustaches.&rdquo; According to another report: &ldquo;Trim your moustaches and let your beards grow.&rdquo; There are other hadeeth which convey the same meaning, which is to leave the beard as it is and let it grow long, without shaving, plucking or cutting any part of it. Ibn Hazm reported that there was scholarly consensus that it is an obligation (fard) to trim the moustache and let the beard grow. He quoted a number of ahaadeeth as evidence, including the hadeeth of Ibn &lsquo;Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) quoted above, and the hadeeth of Zayd ibn Arqam in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Whoever does not remove any of his moustache is not one of us.&rdquo; (Classed as saheeh by al-Tirmidhi). Ibn Hazm said in al-Furoo&rsquo;: &ldquo;This is the way of our colleagues [i.e., the Hanbalis].&rdquo;
Is it haraam (to shave it)? Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: &ldquo;The Qur&rsquo;aan, Sunnah and ijmaa&rsquo; (scholarly consensus) all indicate that we must differ from the kuffaar in all aspects and not imitate them, because imitating them on the outside will make us imitate them in their bad deeds and habits, and even in beliefs, which will result in befriending them in our hearts, just as loving them in our hearts will lead to imitating them on the outside. Al-Tirmidhi reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, &ldquo;He is not one of us who imitates people other than us. Do not imitate the Jews and Christians.&rdquo; According to another version: &ldquo;Whoever imitates a people is...]]></video:description>

&nbsp;
It is not permissible to help a kaafir or a Muslim to buy alcohol or to do any other evil or sinful thing. The one who does that is a loser and a sinner. Allaah forbade that in the Qur&rsquo;aan, when He said (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression&rdquo;
[al-Maa&rsquo;idah 5:2]&nbsp;
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed ten types of people with regard to alcohol.&nbsp;
It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed ten types of people with regard to alcohol: the one who presses (the grapes, etc), the one for whom that is done, the one who drinks it, the one who carries it, the one to whom it is carried, the one who offers itut, the one who sells it, the one who consumes its price, the one who buys it and the one for whom it is bought.&nbsp;
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1259; Ibn Maajah, 3381. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, no. 1041&nbsp;
So whoever drinks alcohol or helps someone else to do so deserves the curse narrated in this hadeeth. So it is not permissible for you to help anyone to drink alcohol or to commit any other haraam action.&nbsp;
And Allaah knows best.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Can I Have a Boyfriend/Girlfriend in Islam?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;&hellip; Wed them with the permission of their own folk and give them their mahr (dowry) according to what is reasonable; they should be chaste, not adulterous, nor taking boyfriends&hellip;&rdquo; [al-Nisaa&rsquo; 4:25]
In his commentary on this aayah, Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
&ldquo;Muhsanaat [translated as &ldquo;chaste&rdquo;] means that they should be pure, not indulging in zinaa (unlawful sexual conduct), hence they are described as not being musaafihaat, which means promiscuous women who do not refuse anyone who wants to commit immoral acts with them. Regarding the phrase wa laa muttakhidhaati akhdaan (&lsquo;nor taking boyfriends&rsquo;), Ibn &lsquo;Abbaas said: &lsquo;al-musaafihaat means those who are known to commit zinaa, meaning those who will not refuse anyone who wants to commit immoral acts with them.&rsquo; Ibn &lsquo;Abbaas also said: &lsquo;muttakhidhaati akhdaan means lovers.&rsquo; A similar interpretation was narrated from Abu Hurayrah, Mujaahid, al-Sha&rsquo;bi, al-Dahhaak, &lsquo;Ataa&rsquo; al-Khurasaani, Yahyaa ibn Abi Katheer, Muqaatil ibn Hayyaan and al-Saddi. They said: (it means) lovers. Al-Hasan al-Basri said: &lsquo;It means a (male) friend.&rsquo; Al-Dahhaak also said: &lsquo;wa laa muttakhidhaati akhdaan also means a woman who has just one boyfriend or lover with whom she is happy. Allaah has also forbidden this, meaning marrying her so long as she is in that situation&hellip;&rsquo;&rdquo;
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;Made lawful to you this day are al-tayyibaat [all kinds of halaal (lawful) foods&hellip;]. The food of the People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them. (Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time, when you have given their due mahr (bridal money given by the husband to the wife at the...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[What Does Islam Say About 7/7 and 9/11?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allaah.&nbsp;
What we have heard about what our Muslim brothers are going through in kaafir countries in the north and the south, where they are being harassed and persecuted for something in which they did not take part and in which they played no role, is not strange, given the wrongdoing and hatred of the kuffaar, even though they claim to be the people of justice, fairness and freedom. What is the crime of a Muslim woman who walks down the street in her hijaab? What is the crime of a Muslim who leaves his home to go and pray, not to spread mischief in the land? What is the crime of a Muslim employee who goes to his company or a student who goes to his university or a schoolgirl who is walking to her school, not going out to bomb and destroy? If the western man in the street was fair-minded &ndash; at least with himself &ndash; he would go and take revenge on the people who plotted and took part in harming him. But one who does not fear God could do anything, and the very least that the Muslims will be faced with is curses and insults. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;and you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you (Jews and Christians) and from those who ascribe partners to Allaah; but if you persevere patiently, and become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious) then verily, that will be a determining factor in all affairs&rdquo;[Aal &lsquo;Imraan 3:186]&nbsp;
Our attitude must be clear; we must explain to the kuffaar the ruling of Islamic sharee&rsquo;ah concerning harming and killing others. We should tell them that Islam forbids harming innocent people in any way, whether that involves harming their bodies, their wealth or their honour. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.&rdquo; It is not permissible to kill a kaafir who is not hostile or who has a legitimate peace treaty with the M...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Why Should We Follow Religion?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
Man is very forgetful and makes a lot of mistakes. His own self (nafs) tells him to do evil and the Shaytaan tempts him to commit sin. When bodies get sick and are afflicted with disease, one has to find a doctor who can prescribe the appropriate medicine so that the body may be restored to full health. Similarly, souls and hearts may be afflicted with the diseases of desire and doubt, so people do things which Allaah has forbidden, such as shedding blood, committing adultery, drinking alcohol, oppressing people and consuming their wealth unlawfully, preventing people from following the way of Allaah and disbelieving in Allaah.&nbsp;
The diseases of the heart [psychological and spiritual diseases] are worse than diseases of the body. This means that one must find a doctor who is skilled in treating such diseases. Because the diseases of the heart are so many and cause the spread of evil and corruption, Allaah has enjoined the believers to treat these diseases, by enjoining that which is good and forbidding that which is evil. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining Al-Ma&lsquo;roof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden). And it is they who are the successful&rdquo; [Aal &lsquo;Imraan 3:104]&nbsp;
Enjoining what is good (al-ma&rsquo;roof) and forbidding what is evil (al-munkar) is one of the most important Islamic duties, indeed it is the noblest and most sublime. This is the task of the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them all), as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea against Allaah after the (coming of) Messengers&rdquo; [al-Nisaa&rsquo; 4:165]&nbsp;
Allaah has made the Muslim ummah the best nation ever raised up for mankind, in order to do this imp...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Jumuah - Friday Prayer]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Many ahaadeeth have been narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which explain the virtues of Jumu&rsquo;ah prayer. For example:&nbsp;
1 &ndash; Muslim (233) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;The five daily prayers, and from one Jumu&rsquo;ah to the next, are an expiation for whatever sins come in between, so long as one does not commit any major sin.&rdquo;&nbsp;
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Whoever does ghusl then comes to Jumu&rsquo;ah, and prays as much as Allaah decrees for him, then listens attentively until the khutbah is over, then prays with him (the imam), will be forgiven for (his sins) between that and the next Jumu&rsquo;ah and three more days.&rdquo; Narrated by Muslim, 857&nbsp;
Al-Nawawi said:&nbsp;
The scholars said that what is meant by his being forgiven between the two Jumu&rsquo;ahs and three more days is that a good deed is worth ten like it, so he will be rewarded with ten hasanahs for each of the good deeds that he did on Friday. Some of our companions said: what is meant by what is between the two Jumu&rsquo;ahs is from Jumu&rsquo;ah prayer and the khutbah until the same time on the following Friday, so that it will be seven days, no more and no less, then three days are added making ten in all.&nbsp;
2 &ndash; Coming early to Jumu&rsquo;ah brings a great reward.&nbsp;
Al-Bukhaari (814) and Muslim (850) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Whoever does ghusl on Friday like ghusl for janaabah, then goes to the prayer (in the first hour, i.e., early), it is as if he sacrificed a camel. Whoever goes in the second hour, it is as if he sacrificed a cow; whoever goes in the third hour, it is as if he sacrificed a horned ram; whoever ...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[How to Increase Self-Esteem?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
&nbsp;
Firstly:&nbsp;
Self-confidence is an acquired characteristic that the Muslim needs to know how to acquire so that he will be one of those who have self-confidence. But first of all he has to differentiate between self-confidence and arrogance. Self-confidence means being aware of what Allah has given you of good characteristics and striving accordingly to attain that which will benefit you. If you misuse it you will be filled with arrogance and self admiration, which are two destructive problems. If you deny those blessings that have been given to you and the good characteristics that Allah has blessed you with, you will become lazy and apathetic; you will let yourself down and lose the blessings that Allah has given you. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself (i.e. obeys and performs all that Allaah ordered, by following the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds).
10.&nbsp;And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e. disobeys what Allaah has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism, or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds)&rdquo;
[al-Shams 91:9-10].&nbsp;
It is worth pointing out something important here, which is that for the Muslim, having self-confidence does not mean that he does not need the help of his Lord, and it does not mean that he does not need his brothers and people in general to advise him and help him. This is what the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) asked his Lord for, which was: not to be left to himself (or to his own devices), not even for the blink of an eye!&nbsp;
It was narrated that Abu Bakrah said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: &ldquo;The supplication of the one who is in distress: O Allaah, for Your mercy I hope, so do not abandon me to myself even for the blink of an eye. Set all my affairs straight, there is no god but You.&rdquo;
Narrated by Abu Dawood (509...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Verses that have to do with hijab:&nbsp;
1 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband&rsquo;s fathers, or their sons, or their husband&rsquo;s sons, or their brothers or their brother&rsquo;s sons, or their sister&rsquo;s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful&rdquo;
[al-Noor 24:31]&nbsp;
2 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And as for women past childbearing who do not expect wedlock, it is no sin on them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show their adornment. But to refrain (i.e. not to discard their outer clothing) is better for them. And Allaah is All‑Hearer, All‑Knower&rdquo;
[al-Noor 24:60]&nbsp;
&ldquo;Women past childbearing&rdquo; are those who no longer menstruate, so they can no longer get pregnant or bear children.&nbsp;
We shall see below the words of Hafsah bint Sireen and the way in which she interpreted this verse.&nbsp;
3 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;

Allaah has many names, all of which are indicative of His Greatness, Perfection and Majesty, may He be glorified and exalted. He has told us some of these Names in His Book and through the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him); He also has other Names which are known only to Him, as is indicated in the hadeeth of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ood (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: 'There is nobody who is afflicted with distress or grief and who says: "Allaahumma inni 'abduka wa ibn 'abdika wa ibn amatika, naasiyati bi yadika maadin fiyya hukmuka 'adlun fiyya qadaa'uka, as'aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw asta'tharta bihi fi 'ilmi al-ghaybi 'indaka an taj'al al-Qur'aana rabee'a qalbi wa noor sadri wa jilaa'a huzni wa dhihaaba hammi (O Allaah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your maidservant, my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is ever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You have named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, that You make the Qur'aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety," - but Allaah will take away his distress and grief, and replace it with ease.' He was asked, 'O Messenger of Allaah, should we not learn it?' He said, 'Of course, whoever hears it should learn it.'" (Reported by Imaam Ahmad; this is a saheeh hadeeth). The Names of Allaah mentioned in the Qur'aan and Sunnah number over one hundred, as several scholars have agreed (see Al-Qawaa'id al-Muthlaa fi Sifaat Allaahi wa Asmaa'ihi by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih ibn 'Uthaymeen).
Among these are ninety-nine names which, if one learns them and acts in accordance with them, will bring a great r...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Can God Become Man?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah. The evidence that Allah is the only Creator of life may be found in many places in the Qur&rsquo;an and Sunnah. For example: "Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He is Able to do all things, Who has created death and life, that He may test you which of you is best in deed, and He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving." [al-Mulk 67:1-2] "Is, then, He Who creates as one who creates not?" [al-Nahl 16:17] "Yet they have taken besides Him other gods that created nothing but are themselves created . . ." [al-Furqaan 25:3] Allah challenged all of mankind to create even the most insignificant creature, i.e. a fly, but no one could do that and no one ever will. Allah says: "O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): verily! Those on whom you call besides Allah cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatched away a thing from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought." [al-Hajj 22:73] Imam al-Bukhari reported in his Saheeh from Abu Sa&lsquo;eed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (Peace &amp; Blessings of Allah be upon Him) said: "There is no created being but Allah created it." In Arabic, the word "khalaqa" means to make out of nothing, which is something that only Allah can do; it is impossible for anyone except Allah to do this. It also carries the meaning of decreeing or foreordaining. [**] See Fath al-Bari Sharh Saheeh al-Bukhari, 13/390. The Religion of Allah (Islam) is proud and cannot be defeated by the kaafirs&rsquo; arrogance about the knowledge they possess. Allah says: ". . . [they] are deceived by the life of this world . . ." [al-An&lsquo;aam 6:70] "They know only the outside appearance of the life of this world, and they are heedless of the Hereafter." [al-Rum 30:7] We ask Allah to help us to be steadfast in our adherence to His Religion, and to make our end good. And Allah knows best.

We should understand properly the general principle concerning this matter, the matter of entering Paradise and spending eternity in Hell. It is a simple matter that is explained in a brief hadeeth that was narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh (135) from Jaabir (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: A man came to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, what are the two deeds that make entering Paradise or Hell inevitable?
He said: &ldquo;Whoever dies not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise, and whoever dies associating anything with Allah will enter Hell.&rdquo;&nbsp;
An-Nawawi said: With regard to the words, &ldquo;What are the two deeds that make entering Paradise or Hell inevitable?&rdquo; what is meant are the characteristic that makes Paradise inevitable and the characteristic that makes Hell inevitable. End quote.&nbsp;
This hadeeth explains that what makes it inevitable that a person will enter Paradise is if he dies believing in Tawheed, and what makes it inevitable that a person will spend eternity in Hell is if he dies believing in shirk.&nbsp;
This is a definitive principle that is well-known and well established in the religion of Islam. There are mutawaatir texts which confirm and affirm it. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin&rdquo;
[an-Nisa&rsquo; 4:48].&nbsp;
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) explained, in the hadeeth about intercession, the situation of the sinners in Hell, and he explained that no one will be brought out of Hell except those who died believing in Tawheed and uttered the Shahaadah (testimony of faith), and had in their hearts something of faith: &ldquo;There will be brought out of the Fire anyone who sai...]]></video:description>

Punishments are what happen to people in return for their evil deeds. Trials are tests which are sent to try people, and people may be tested by good things or by bad.
Concerning punishments, Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allah, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself&hellip;&rdquo;
[al-Nisa 4:79]
Concerning the phrase &ldquo;is from yourself&rdquo;, Qatadah said: &ldquo;[It means] the punishment is for you, O son of Adam, because of your sin.&rdquo; Abu Salih said that &ldquo;whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself&rdquo; means &ldquo;because of your sin, and I [Allah] am the One Who decreed it for you.&rdquo;(Tafseer Ibn Katheer).
Allah also says (interpretation of the meaning): &ldquo;And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much.&rdquo;
[al-Shoora 42:30]
Ibn Katheer, may Allah have mercy on him, said: &ldquo;[It means] whatever misfortune happens to you, O people, is because of evil deeds that you have already done, and &lsquo;He pardons much&rsquo; refers to evil deeds &ndash; He does not punish you for them but He pardons them. &lsquo;And if Allah were to punish men for that which they earned, he would not leave a moving (living) creature on the surface of the earth&hellip;&rsquo; [Fatir 35:45 &ndash; interpretation of the meaning].&rdquo;
Concerning trials, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: &ldquo;If Allah loves a people, He tries them, and whoever has patience will have patience, and whoever is anxious will be anxious.&rdquo; (Reported by al-Imam Ahmad; Saheeh al-Jami&rsquo;, 1706).
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said: &ldquo;The extent of the reward will be in accordance with the extent of the trial. If Allah loves a people, He tries them, and whoever is content will have contentment, and whoever is angry will have anger.&rdquo; (Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 2320; Saheeh al-Jami&rsquo;, 22...]]></video:description>

&nbsp;
The doctrine of redemption, and the basis of this doctrine which is their belief that the Messiah (peace be upon him) was crucified, is one of the basic doctrines of Christianity, so much so that they would gamble the entire religion on this doctrine. The English cardinal Manning says in his book &ldquo;Eternal Priesthood&rdquo;: &ldquo;The importance of this confusing topic is obvious, for if the death of Christ on the cross is not real, then the basis of the church&rsquo;s doctrine will crumble from its foundations, because if Christ did not die on the cross, then there is no sacrifice, no salvation, and no trinity&hellip; Paul, the Apostles and all the churches say that, i.e., if Christ did not die then there was no resurrection either.&rdquo;&nbsp;
This is what Paul said:&nbsp;
&ldquo;And if Christ has not been raised, then preaching is useless and so is your faith.&rdquo;
I Corinthians 15:14 &ndash; New International Version (NIV)&nbsp;
Just as they struggle with their belief in trinity and what it means, and how they can reconcile it with the belief in monotheism which is affirmed in the Old Testament (See the question: 12682), and just as they also struggle with everything that has to do with the crucifixion and its details, which is the basis of their belief in redemption which they believe is the reason for the crucifixion (see also no. 12615), we say: as confusion is inevitable for everyone who turns away from the light of revelation that came down from Allaah, similarly they are confused about the doctrine of redemption.&nbsp;
Does redemption mean saving all of mankind, as John says:&nbsp;
&ldquo;&hellip;Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world&rdquo;
I John 2:1-2 (NIV)?&nbsp;
Or is it only for those who believe and are baptized:&nbsp;
&ldquo;Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned&rdquo;
Mark 16:16 (NIV)?&nbsp;

      <video:title><![CDATA[What Does the Word Islam Mean?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
If you refer to Arabic language dictionaries you will find out that the meaning of the word Islam is: submission, humbling oneself, and obeying commands and heeding prohibitions without objection, sincerely worshipping Allaah alone, believing what He tells us and having faith in Him. The word Islam has become the name of the religion which was brought by Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).&nbsp;
Why is this religion called Islam? For all the religions on earth are called by various names, either the name of a specific man or a specific nation. So Christianity takes its name from Christ; Buddhism takes its name from its founder, the Buddha; the Zoroastrians became well known by this name because their founder and standard-bearer was Zoroaster. Similarly, Judaism took its name from a tribe known as Yehudah (Judah), so it became known as Judaism. And so on. Except for Islam, for it is not attributed to any specific man or to any specific nation, rather its name refers to the meaning of the word Islam. What this name indicates is that the establishment and founding of this religion was not the work of one particular man and that it is not only for one particular nation to the exclusion of all others. Rather its aim is give the attribute implied by the word Islam to all the peoples of the earth. So everyone who acquires this attribute, whether he is from the past or the present, is a Muslim, and everyone who acquires this attribute in the future will also be a Muslim.&nbsp;

It is proven in the Quran and Sunnah (prophetic teachings) and by the consensus (ijma&rsquo;) of the salaf (early generations) of this ummah (global Islamic nation) that Allah is above His heavens over His Throne (as befits His Majesty), and that He is the Exalted, Most High. He is above all things, and there is nothing that is above Him. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): &nbsp;
&ldquo;Allah, it is He Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them in six days. Then He&nbsp;rose over (istawa) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). You (mankind) have none, besides Him, as a Wali (protector or helper) or an intercessor. Will you not then remember (or receive admonition)?&rdquo; [32:4] &nbsp;
&ldquo;Surely, your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then rose over (istawa) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty), disposing the affair of all things.&rdquo; [10:3]
&nbsp;&ldquo;To Him ascend (all) the goodly words, and the righteous deeds exalt it (i.e. the goodly words are not accepted by Allah unless and until they are followed by good deeds).&rdquo; [35:10]
&nbsp;&ldquo;He is the First (nothing is before Him) and the Last (nothing is after Him), the Most High (nothing is above Him) and the Most Near (nothing is nearer than Him).&rdquo; [57:3]
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: &ldquo;You are the Most High and there is nothing above You&hellip;&rdquo;
There are many similar ayat (verses) and ahadeeth (prophetic narrations). But at the same time, Allah tells us that He is with His slaves wherever they are:
&ldquo;Have you not seen that Allah knows whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth? There is no najwa (secret counsel) of three but He is their fourth (with His Knowledge, while He Himself is over the Throne, over the seventh heaven), &mdash; nor of five but He is their sixth (with His Knowledge), &mdash; nor of less than that or more but He is with them (...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Smoking: Makruh or Haram? Part 1]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be on His Prophet SAWS.
Smoking is one of the things which has caused a lot of problems and harm these days and it has spread like wild fire. Before we discuss this topic in detail, we should know that Allaah the Almighty has divided things in the world into two types, good or permissible (al-tayyibaat, al-halaal) and evil or prohibited (al-khabaa'ith, al-haraam), and there is no third type. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning) in surat al-A'raaf (7:157):
"And He makes good things halaal for them and bad things haraam." 
Considering this fact, smoking can either be permissible and good or prohibited and evil.
Thus, we present some of its characteristics and let the person asking the question see himself in which type lies smoking.
There is no disagreement among the physicians and sane people that smoking is harmful for health. It is one of the major causes of lung cancer and other diseases. It is also one of the major causes of death. Since, it is known that the Islamic law prohibits everything that is harmful for a human being. Allah said (interpretation of meaning):
"Do not kill yourself. Allah is Merciful unto you." (Surat al-Nisaa' 4:29)
In addition, His Prophet SAWS (peace be upon him) said:
"There is no harm or causing of harm (in Islaam)." (Arabic "laa darar wa laa diraar") 
He SAWS (peace be upon him) also said:
"A person will not be able to move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about ... his body as to what he engaged it in." 
Smoking also goes against the saying of the Prophet SAWS:
"Your body has a right on you."
There is no disagreement among the physicians and sane people that smoking is harmful for the health of others who inhale the polluted breath of the smoker. Medical research has proven the harmful effects of smoking mothers on their children. The offensive smell caused by smoking is a source of pain to the worshippers of Allah among humans and angels. The angels are offended and suffer from the same things that the human beings suffer...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Common Questions asked by Non Muslims]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Yusha (Joshua) Evans was raised by his grandparents in Greenville, South Carolina in a very strict Methodist home. In his teenage years, he became very involved in the church and was studying at a small Bible college in his hometown with the intention of eventually enrolling in Bob Jones University. He was learning to read the Bible in Hebrew and Greek and was very interested in textual criticism of the Bible. It was during these years of intense Bible study that he read the Bible cover to cover a half a dozen times. In doing so, he realized there were many inconsistencies and contradictions. He realized the Bible was not the inerrant Word of God as he had always been taught. He eventually left Christianity and searched for the truth about God elsewhere.He studied every religion from Judaism to Buddhism, Wicca to Bushido. While many religions had certain truths to them, they had major tenants or flaws he could not accept. All praise is due to God, one day he found himself talking with a young Muslim who invited him to jumuah, the Friday service and congregational prayer. When he saw the Muslims praying, bowing and prostrating with their heads on the floor, all the verses of the Bible describing the prayer of the prophets came flooding back to him. He asked for a copy of the Quran, read it from cover to cover in three days, and the rest (as they say) is history.May God show us all the straight path, Ameen!]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Very Sad .. Nasheed (( Vocal song )) By Zaid Al-Fawaz ..

The translation: At the beginning of the clip the policeman tells the young man :
&nbsp;
Tirky, Tirky, wake up. Wake up and pray a little...&nbsp; you have 3 hours left...
&nbsp;
O you caller of my end summoning me. Carry away my peace to my relations for they have killed me. They feared the eyes of the Blamers. If only they Feared on me the heroin's Daggers. The things my hands committed when I stole from them. They didn't notice my condition, they haven't asked me. How many times they knew I'm an addict. They didn't report me, they haven't stopped me. I've surrendered my life to remorse and bawdry. So much that my eyelids had blistered regretting me. Where are my laughing companions?? And where are the one's who screwed my life up and didn't visit me. And with what tears my father shall console me?? And with what regretful poetry he shall bewail me. And with what lost face I shall tell you?? For I'm the obsessive. The opium's seller. Until I have ended into a complete loss.&nbsp; So "Tears of my eyes" Say farewell to my lost life.]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Tawheed]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Praise be to Allaah and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger and Chosen Prophet.&nbsp;
Tawheed in Arabic means attributing Oneness to Allaah and describing Him as being One and Unique, with no partner or peer in His Essence and Attributes. &nbsp;
The Arabs say waahid, ahad and waheed, all meaning one. Allaah is Waahid, meaning that He has no rivals or peers in any way. So Tawheed means knowing Allaah is One, with none like unto Him. Whoever does not acknowledge Allaah in these terms and does not describe Him as being One with no partner or associate does not believe in Tawheed.&nbsp;
With regard to the shar&rsquo;i definition of Tawheed, it means believing in Allaah alone as God and Lord and attributing to Him alone all the attributes of Lordship and divinity. &nbsp;
It may be defined as follows: Believing that Allaah is One with no partner or associate in His Lordship (ruboobiyyah), divinity (uloohiyyah) or names and attributes (al-asma&rsquo; wa&rsquo;l-sifaat).&nbsp;
This word (Tawheed) and its derivatives are used with this meaning in the Qur&rsquo;aan and Sunnah. For example:&nbsp;
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Say (O Muhammad): He is Allaah, (the) One [Ahad]. 
2.&nbsp;Allaah‑us‑Samad [Allaah &mdash; the Self‑Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, (He neither eats nor drinks)].
3.&nbsp;He begets not, nor was He begotten.
4.&nbsp;And there is none co‑equal or comparable unto Him&rdquo;
[al-Ikhlaas 112:1-3]&nbsp;
&ldquo;And your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah [ilaahun waahidun] (God &mdash; Allaah), Laa Ilaaha illa Huwa (there is none who has the right to be worshipped but He), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful&rdquo;
[al-Baqarah 2:163]&nbsp;
&ldquo;Surely, disbelievers are those who said: &lsquo;Allaah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).&rsquo; But there is no Ilaah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilaah [ilaahun waahidun] (God &mdash;Allaah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painfu...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Shaykh al-Islam [Ibn Taymiyah] was asked about this book, and he replied as follows:&nbsp;
&ldquo;With regard to the books Qoot al-Quloob and the similar book al-Ihya&rsquo;, which speak of the actions of the heart such as patience, gratitude, love, trust in Allaah, Tawheed (belief in Allah alone) and so on, Abu Taalib [the author of Qoot al-Quloob] has more knowledge of hadeeth, reports and the views of scholars who spoke of spiritual matters among the Sufis and others than Abu Haamid al-Ghazzaali, and his words are more correct, more precise and further removed from bid&rsquo;ah (innovation). But nevertheless Qoot al-Quloob includes da&rsquo;eef (weak) and mawdoo&rsquo; (fabricated) ahaadeeth, and many unacceptable things. With regard to what is said in al-Ihya&rsquo; about things that may doom a person to Hell, such as pride, self-admiration, showing off, malicious envy, etc., most of it is taken from al-Haarith al-Muhaasibi in al-Ri&rsquo;aayah; some of it is acceptable and some of it is to be rejected, and some of it is controversial. There is a great deal of good in al-Ihya&rsquo; but it also contains some blameworthy material and some corrupt material such as the words of the philosophers on Tawheed, Prophethood and the Resurrection. When he deals with Sufi topics it is like one who has taken an enemy of the Muslims and dressed him in Muslim garb. The leaders of Islam denounced Abu Haamid for this feature of his books, and they said that he was made sick by al-Shifa&rsquo;, meaning Shifa&rsquo; Ibn Seena, which is about philosophy. [Shifa&rsquo; literally means &ldquo;healing&rdquo; in Arabic].&nbsp;
Al-Ihya&rsquo; contains da&rsquo;eef (weak) ahaadeeth and reports, and even many mawdoo&rsquo; (fabricated) reports.&nbsp;
It contains many of the errors and myths of the Sufis.&nbsp;
Nevertheless it also contains some of the words of Sufi shaykhs who correctly understand the actions of the heart in accordance with the Qur&rsquo;aan and Sunnah, and it speaks of acts of wor...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA["The Heart of a Muslim" By Zain Bhikha
&nbsp;
I realized after making the video that the words have some errors in them.
&nbsp;
Please see below the UPDATED lyrics thanks to lw18407!!
&nbsp;
Heart of a Muslim
&nbsp;
Looking up at the sky, searching for Allah most High He rejected the way of worshipping Gods of clay Prophet Ebrahim knew that Allah was near And that the heart of a Muslim is sincere
&nbsp;
Under the hot burning sun, he declared God is one Though with stones on his chest, his Imaan would not rest The Muadhin knew that right would conquer wrong And the heart of a Muslim must be strong
&nbsp;
Chorus: It's the heart of a Muslim through the guidance of Islam That makes you fair and kind and helpful to your fellow man So living as a Muslim means that you must play a part Allah looks not at how you look, but what is in your heart
&nbsp;
In our poor meager state, little food on our plate Mother said she was glad, always sharing what we had When I asked how can we share what's not enough She said the heart of a Muslim's filled with love
&nbsp;
He said its time you should know, you will learn as you grow That some people around will do what's bad to bring you down Father said to be a star that's shining bright For the heart of a Muslim does what's right
&nbsp;
Chorus
&nbsp;
So whatever you, make sure your words are true Honesty is the best, because life is a test Even if it hurts so much you want to cry For the heart of a Muslim does not lie
&nbsp;
Chorus]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Allah Knows - Nasheed]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah
The one who knows everything in the heavens and on earth, and knows the number of drops of water and the number of grains of sand is Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. There is no angel who is close to Him or any Prophet who was sent who has this knowledge. Anyone who says that there is anyone among the angels who knows all of this has fabricated a lie against Allah, to Whom belongs knowledge of the unseen of the heavens and the earth.&nbsp;
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;And with Him are the keys of the Ghaib (all that is hidden), none knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is in (or on) the earth and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but he knows it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry, but is written in a Clear Record&rdquo; [6:59].&nbsp;
And He, may He be glorified, says (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;Say: None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghaib (unseen) except Allah, nor can they perceive when they shall be resurrected&rdquo; [27:65].&nbsp;
Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said:&nbsp;Here Allah, may He be exalted, is instructing His Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) to tell all of mankind that no one knows the unseen except Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and that He alone has that knowledge, with no partner or associate.&nbsp;End quote from Tafseer Ibn Katheer, (6/207).&nbsp;
Al-Bukhaari (4697) narrated from Ibn &lsquo;Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: &ldquo;The keys of the Unknown are five, which no one knows except Allah: no one knows what will happen tomorrow except Allah; no one knows what is in the wombs except Allah; no one knows when it will rain except Allah; no one knows in which land he will die; and no one knows when the Hour will begin except Allah.&rdquo;&nbsp;
But Allah, may He be exalted, may inform whomever He wills among His creation about whatever He wills...]]></video:description>

&nbsp;
Praise be to Allaah Who has made good dear to you; we ask Him to increase you in guidance and faith, and to guide your parents to practise Islam and adhere to its rulings.&nbsp;
With regard to the Quraan and the proof that it is the word of Allaah, these are specious arguments which were put forward out of stubbornness and arrogance by the first kaafirs to whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was sent. Allaah refuted what they said in many ways, proving their words to be false and pointing out what was wrong with it. For example:&nbsp;
1- This Quraan is challenge from Allaah to mankind and the jinn to produce anything like it, but they were unable to. Then He challenged them to produce only ten soorahs like it, and they were unable to. Then He challenged them to produce something like the shortest soorah in the Quraan, and they could not do it, even though those who were being challenged were the most eloquent and well-spoken of mankind, and the Quraan was revealed in their language. Yet despite that they stated that they were completely incapable of doing that. This challenge has remained down throughout history, but not one person has been able to produce anything like it. If this were the word of a human being, some people would have been able to produce something like it or close to it. There is a great deal of evidence for this challenge in the Quraan, for example, the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
 Say: If the mankind and the jinn were together to produce the like of this Quraan, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another ;
[al-Israa 17:88]&nbsp;
Allaah says, challenging them to produce just ten soorahs:&nbsp;
Or they say, He (Prophet Muhammad) forged it (the Quraan). Say: Bring you then ten forged Soorah (chapters) like unto it, and call whomsoever you can, other than Allaah (to your help), if you speak the truth! 
[Hood 11:13 interpretation of the meaning]&nbsp;
Allaah says, challenging them to produ...]]></video:description>

Firstly:&nbsp;
Allah&rsquo;s help to the Muslims against their disbelieving enemies who wage war on them is something real and true. Allah, may He be exalted, has promised that to the believers, and has told them that it is near, and that He only delays it for certain significant reasons. The one who has strong faith and true certainty will realise that it is indeed near as the Lord, may He be exalted, has told us.&nbsp;
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, &lsquo;When (will come) the Help of Allah?&rsquo; Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allah is near!&rdquo;
[al-Baqarah 2:214].&nbsp;
Imam Ibn Jareer at-Tabari (may Allah have mercy on him) said:&nbsp;
What this means is: Or do you think that you, O believers in Allah and His Messenger, will enter Paradise without anything befalling you like that which befell those who came before you among the followers of the Prophets and Messengers, of hardship, trials and tests? You will be tested as they were tested, with &ldquo;severe poverty&rdquo;, which is severe hardship and want, and &ldquo;ailments&rdquo;, which is pain and sickness. But you have not yet been shaken as they were shaken, i.e., you have not yet suffered extreme fear and terror at the hands of your enemy, so that you think that the help of Allah is slow in coming and you say &ldquo;When will Allah help us?&rdquo; Then Allah told them that His help was near to them, and that He would cause them to prevail over the enemy and defeat them. Then He fulfilled what He had promised them, and made their word supreme, and extinguished the flames of war lit by those who disbelieved.

&nbsp;
Yes, there are three degrees of Islam, which are: Islam, eemaan and ihsaan. Each of them has a meaning and certain pillars or essential parts.&nbsp;
1 &ndash; Islam, which in Arabic means submission. In sharee&rsquo;ah terminology its meaning varies according to usage, and it may mean one of two things:&nbsp;
(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When the word is used on its own and is not accompanied by the word eemaan (faith, belief), it refers to the religion as a whole, including both major and minor issues of belief, words and deeds, as in the verses where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Truly, the religion with Allaah is Islam&rdquo;
[Aal &lsquo;Imraan 3:19]&nbsp;
&ldquo;and have chosen for you Islam as your religion&rdquo;
[al-Maa&rsquo;idah 5:3]&nbsp;
&ldquo;And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him&rdquo;
[Aal &lsquo;Imraan 3:85]&nbsp;
hence some of the scholars defined it as meaning: Submitting to Allaah by affirming that He is One (Tawheed) and submitting to Him by obeying Him and disavowing shirk and its people.&nbsp;
(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When it is used in conjunction with the word eemaan (faith, belief), in which case it refers to outward deeds and words, as in the verses where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;The bedouins say: &lsquo;We believe.&rsquo; Say: &lsquo;You believe not but you only say, &ldquo;We have surrendered (in Islam),&rdquo;for Faith has not yet entered your hearts&rsquo;&hellip;&rdquo;
[al-Hujuraat 49:14]&nbsp;
In Saheeh al-Bukhaari (27) and Saheeh Muslim (150) it is narrated from Sa&rsquo;d ibn Abi Waqqaas that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) distributed (Zakaah) amongst (a group of) people while Sa&rsquo;d was sitting there.

Firstly:&nbsp;
In the saheeh hadeeth (authentic narration) about the virtues of tasbeeh (glorifying Allah), it says that this is a phrase for which a palm tree is planted in Paradise.
It was narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
&ldquo;Whoever says Subhan Allah il &lsquo;azeem wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praise be to Allah, the Almighty), a palm tree will be planted for him in Paradise.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (3464) who said: This is a hasan saheeh ghareeb hadeeth, which we know only from the hadeeth of Abu&rsquo;l-Zubayr from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him). And al-Mundhiri said (2/347): Its isnad (chain of transmission) is jayyid (good). It was classed as hasan (sound) by al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar in Nataij al-Afkar (1/104). It was classed as saheeh (authentic) by al-Albani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (hadeeth no. 64).&nbsp;
Secondly:&nbsp;
As for the hadeeths which depict the palm tree that is planted for saying Subhan Allah, and describe its leaves and branches in detail, none of them are saheeh. Three marfoo&rsquo; hadeeths (reports attributed to the Prophet) were narrated concerning this &ndash; according to what we have read &ndash; and all of them are severely weak or false. Here follows a more detailed discussion about them.&nbsp;
The first hadeeth was narrated from Ibn &lsquo;Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and complained to him of poverty or debt. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him:
&ldquo;What about the prayer of the angels and the tasbeeh of all creation by means of which Allah sends down provision from heaven?&rdquo;
Ibn &lsquo;Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: What is that, O Messenger of Allah?&nbsp;
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sat up straight, as he had been reclining, and said:...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah
My dear Muslim brother, your efforts to call people to Allah and explain the reality of Allah&rsquo;s existence make us very happy. Finding out about Allah is in tune with the sound fitrah (natural inclinations of man) and with sound reasoning. How many there are who, once the truth becomes clear to them, they hasten to submit to Allah (enter Islam). If each one of us was to do his duty towards his religion, a great deal of good would be achieved. So we congratulate you, our brother, for undertaking the mission of the Prophets and Messengers, and we give you glad tidings of the great reward which you are promised, as your Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: &ldquo;If Allah were to guide one man at your hands, that would be better for you than red camels.&rdquo; (al-Bukhaari,Muslim). &ldquo;Red camels&rdquo; are the best kind of camels.&nbsp;
Secondly:&nbsp;
With regard to proof of the existence of Allah, it is obvious to anyone who ponders the matter, and there is no need for a lengthy discussion. When we ponder the matter, we find that it is divided into three categories: instinctive evidence, tangible evidence and shar&rsquo;i (revelatory) evidence. We will explain this to you further, insha Allah.&nbsp;
1 &ndash; Instinctive evidence:&nbsp;
Al-Shaykh Ibn &lsquo;Uthaymeen said:&nbsp;
The instinctive evidence that God exists is the strongest of all evidence for those who are not led astray by the devils. Hence Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;So set you (O Muhammad) your face towards the religion (of pure Islamic Monotheism) Haneef (worship none but Allah Alone). Allah&rsquo;s Fitrah (i.e. Allah&rsquo;s Islamic Monotheism) with which He has created mankind.&rdquo; [30:30]&nbsp;
Man&rsquo;s sound nature (fitrah) testifies to the existence of God and man cannot turn away from this unless the devils mislead him; whoever is misled by the devils may not recognize this evidence.&rdquo;&nbsp;(From Sharh al-Safareeniyyah)&nbsp;
Every person feels inside ...]]></video:description>

&nbsp;
Islam is the final religion, and one of the most important characteristics of this religion is that it is a religion that regulates all aspects of life. Islam is the religion of this world and the Hereafter. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Say (O Muhammad): Verily, my Salaah (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allaah, the Lord of the &lsquo;Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists)&rdquo;
[al-An&rsquo;aam 6:162]&nbsp;
In their du&rsquo;aa&rsquo;s the Muslims frequently say, &ldquo;Our Lord, give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire&rdquo; (al-Baqarah 2:201). This is the complete, perfect and comprehensive religion of Allaah, which combines the rights of Allaah and the rights of people, and explains matters of this world and matters of the Hereafter. &nbsp;
Those who claim that Islam brought a kind of monasticism are making a false claim, because monasticism is a part of the deviant Christian religion, from whom some innovators among the Muslims adopted it, such as the Sufis. But Ahl al-Sunnah wa&rsquo;l-Jamaa&rsquo;ah (adherents to the Prophetic way)take their religion from its pure source, and they understand it correctly. They believe that this world is the passageway to the Hereafter and that no one should be attached to this world at the expense of the Hereafter. They regard the Hereafter as their focal point because it is eternal life, so we should strive for that aim and not for a life that is short and transient. This does not mean that they should not strive for worldly aims too or develop the earth, rather the Muslims achieved great things in theoretical and practical spheres of knowledge, and other civilizations followed the Muslims in their progress and knowledge. Some prominent western universities still acknowledge this and teach it as part of their curricula.&nbsp;
The French philosopher Gustave le Bon stated in his book  The Civilization of...]]></video:description>

&nbsp;
Firstly:&nbsp;
Allaah has allocated specific times for acts of worship for reasons that are known to Him. We know some of them, but some of them are hidden from us. Whatever the case, we are enjoined to adhere to them and it is not permissible to transgress against that except for reasons permitted in sharee&rsquo;ah.&nbsp;
If a person misses the prayer, one of two scenarios must apply:&nbsp;
1 &ndash;
He missed it for a reason, such as falling asleep or forgetting it. There is no sin on him in this case, but he has to make it up when he wakes up or remembers it.&nbsp;
It was narrated from Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Whoever forgets a prayer, let him offer it as soon as he remembers, for there is no expiation for it other than that.&rdquo; Narrated by al-Bukhaari (572) and Muslim (684); Muslim narrated an additional phrase: &ldquo;or sleeps and misses it&rdquo;.&nbsp;
Muslim also narrated (684): &ldquo;If one of you sleeps and misses a prayer, or forgets it, let him offer the prayer when he remembers, for Allaah says &lsquo;and perform As‑Salaah (Iqaamat‑as‑Salaah) for My remembrance&rsquo; [Ta-Ha 20:14].&rdquo;
2 &ndash;
He missed the prayer with no excuse; rather he ignored it until the time for it ended, out of laziness and carelessness. This person is sinning according to the consensus of the Muslims, and has committed a major sin.&nbsp;
It is not valid for him to make it up according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions, rather he has to repent and regret it, and resolve not to do that again, and he should do a lot of good deeds and offer a lot of voluntary prayers.&nbsp;
Ibn Hazm said:&nbsp;
As for the one who deliberately omits to pray until the time for the prayer ends, he can never make it up, so he should do a lot of good deeds and offer a lot of voluntary prayers, so that his balance (of good deeds) will weigh heavily on the Day of Resurrection, and he should ...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
On this site there is an essay entitled &ldquo;Weakness of Faith, which gives a detailed description of the weakness of faith that many people suffer, and explains the causes and the remedy. We advise you to read it. Here is the link:
[http://63.175.194.25/books/dofuleeman/english.html].&nbsp;
There follow two pieces of advice from major scholars, in addition to the above, summing up what is required on your part:&nbsp;
1 &ndash; We advise you to read Qur&rsquo;aan a great deal, listen to its recitation and ponder the meanings of what you read and listen to, as much as you can. If you find anything difficult to understand then ask the scholars in your country or write to other Sunni scholars for advice.&nbsp;
We also advise you to remember Allaah a great deal (dhikr) with the dhikrs narrated in the saheeh ahaadeeth, such as &ldquo;Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah (there is no god except Allaah)&rdquo;, &ldquo;Subhaan-Allaah wa&rsquo;l-hamdu Lillaah wa laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wa Allaahu akbar (Glory be to Allaah, praise be to Allaah, there is no god except Allaah and Allaah is Most Great)&rdquo;, and so on. For more information on this see al-Kalim al-Tayyib by Ibn Taymiyah; al-Waabil al-Sayyib by Ibn al-Qayyim; Riyaadh al-Saaliheen [available in English]; al-Adhkaar al-Nawawiyyah by Imaam al-Nawawi, and so on.&nbsp;
Remembering Allaah (dhikr) increases faith and brings peace of mind. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;verily, in the remembrance of Allaah do hearts find rest&rdquo;
[al-Ra&rsquo;d 13:28]&nbsp;
Regularly perform acts of worship such as prayer, fasting and the other pillars of Islam, whilst hoping for the mercy of Allaah and putting your trust in Him in all your affairs. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;The believers are only those who, when Allaah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur&rsquo;aan) are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in thei...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.&nbsp;
Whatever the case, this is a mistake that has come from the east and the west, from the Christians, communists and Jews, and others who try to put people off the call to Allaah and its supporters, and who want to be unfair to the da&rsquo;wah by calling it extremism or fundamentalism or whatever other names they give it.
&nbsp;Undoubtedly calling people to Allaah is the religion of the Messengers, it is their path and their way. The people of knowledge are obliged to call others to Allaah and to be active in doing so. The youth are obliged to fear Allaah and to adhere to the truth, not to go to extremes or be harsh. It may so happen that some of the youth are ignorant, so they go to extremes in some matters, or they are lacking in knowledge, so they are negligent in some other matters. But all the youth and others, such as the scholars, must fear Allaah and seek the truth with evidence (daleel), i.e., what Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said; they must beware of bid&rsquo;ah (reprehensible innovations) and exaggeration. They must also beware of ignorance and shortcomings. No one among them is infallible, and some of the people may err by doing too much or by falling short. But that does not mean that everyone is at fault; the fault rests with those who make the mistake.
&nbsp;But the enemies of Allaah among the Christians and others who are following in their wake have made this a means of attacking the da&rsquo;wah and putting an end to it, by accusing its people of being extremists and fundamentalists.
&nbsp;What does &ldquo;fundamentalism&rdquo; mean?
&nbsp;If they are fundamentalists in the sense that they adhere to the fundamentals or basic principles (usool), to what Allaah and His Messenger said, then this is praise,&nbsp; not condemnation. Adhering to the fundamentals, the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), is commendable and cannot be condemned. What is to be condemned is when people...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Pray Before You Can't Pray]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
Imaam Ahmad said that the one who does not pray because of laziness is a kaafir. This is the more correct view and is that indicated by the evidence of the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and by the words of the Salaf and the proper understanding. (Al-Sharh al-Mumti&rsquo; &lsquo;ala Zaad al-Mustanqi&rsquo;, 2/26).
Anyone who examines the texts of the Qur&rsquo;aan and Sunnah will see that they indicate that the one who neglects the prayer is guilty of Kufr Akbar (major kufr) which puts him beyond the pale of Islam.
Among the evidence to be found in the Qur&rsquo;aan is:
The aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;But if they repent [by rejecting Shirk (polytheism) and accept Islamic Monotheism], perform As-Salaat (Iqaamat-as-Salaat) and give Zakaat, then they are your brethren in religion.&rdquo; [al-Tawbah 9:11]
The evidence derived from this aayah is that Allaah defined three things that the Mushrikeen have to do in order to eliminate the differences between them us: they should repent from shirk, they should perform prayer, and they should pay zakaah. If they repent from shirk but they do not perform the prayer or pay zakaah, then they are not our brethren in faith; if they perform the prayer but do not pay zakaah, then they are not our brethren in faith. Brotherhood in religion cannot be effaced except when a person goes out of the religion completely; it cannot be effaced by fisq (immoral conduct) or lesser types of kufr.
Allaah also says (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Salaat (the prayers) [i.e. made their Salaat (prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times] and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in Hell. Except those who repent and believe (in the Oneness of Allaah and His Messenger Muhammad), and work righteousness. Such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in aught.&rdquo; [Mar...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.&nbsp;
All praise be to Allah, the lord of the universe. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon Mohammad, His last messenger.&nbsp;
The purpose of this hand-out is to correct a false idea spread among those willing to adopt Islam as their faith. Some people have a wrong notion that entering into th Islamic fold requires an announcement from the concerned person in the presence of high ranking scholars or shaikhs or reporting this act to courts of justice or other authorities. It is also thought that the act accepting Islam, should, as a condition, have a certificate issued by the authorities, as evidence to that effect.
We wish to clarify that whole matter is very easy and that none of these conditions or obligations are required. For Allah, Almighty, is above all comprehension and knows well the secrets of all hearts. Nevertheless, those who are going to adopt Islam as their religion are advised to register themselves as Muslims with the concerned governmental agency, as this procedure may facilitate for them many matters including the possibility of performing Hajj (Pilgrimage) and Umrah.
If anyone has a real desire to be a muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion ordained by Allah for all human-being, then, one should pronounce the &ldquo;shahada&rdquo;, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The Holy Qur&rsquo;an is explicit on this regard as Allah states :
&ldquo;The Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:19)
in another verse of the Holy Qur&rsquo;an, Allah states :
&ldquo;If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (their selves in the hell fire).&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:85)
In addition, Islam is the only religion prevailing over all other religions. Allah states in the Holy Qur&rsquo;an :
&ldquo;To thee We sent the Scripture in the truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Theory of Evolution]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Anyone who seeks an answer to the question of how living things, including himself, came into existence, will encounter two distinct explanations. The first is "creation," the idea that all living things came into existence as a consequence of an intelligent design. The second explanation is the theory of "evolution," which asserts that living things are not the products of an intelligent design, but of coincidental causes and natural processes. As a matter of fact, however, scientific findings do not support the theory of evolution. Findings from the last two decades in particular openly contradict the basic assumptions of this theory.]]></video:description>

Verses that have to do with hijab:&nbsp;
1 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband&rsquo;s fathers, or their sons, or their husband&rsquo;s sons, or their brothers or their brother&rsquo;s sons, or their sister&rsquo;s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful&rdquo;
[al-Noor 24:31]&nbsp;
2 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And as for women past childbearing who do not expect wedlock, it is no sin on them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show their adornment. But to refrain (i.e. not to discard their outer clothing) is better for them. And Allaah is All‑Hearer, All‑Knower&rdquo;
[al-Noor 24:60]&nbsp;
&ldquo;Women past childbearing&rdquo; are those who no longer menstruate, so they can no longer get pregnant or bear children.&nbsp;
We shall see below the words of Hafsah bint Sireen and the way in which she interpreted this verse.&nbsp;
3 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;

      <video:description><![CDATA[1. Blessed be He Who sent down the criterion (of right and wrong, i.e. this Qur'an) to His slave (Muhammad ) that he may be a warner to the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns).
&nbsp;
2. He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Who has begotten no son (children or offspring) and for Whom there is no partner in the dominion. He has created everything, and has measured it exactly according to its due measurements.
&nbsp;
3. Yet they have taken besides Him other aliha (gods) that created nothing but are themselves created, and possess neither hurt nor benefit for themselves, and possess no power (of causing) death, nor (of giving) life, nor of raising the dead.
&nbsp;
4. Those who disbelieve say: "This (the Qur'an) is nothing but a lie that he (Muhammad ) has invented, and others have helped him at it, so that they have produced an unjust wrong (thing) and a lie."
&nbsp;
5. And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."
&nbsp;
6. Say: "It (this Qur'an) has been sent down by Him (Allah) (the Real Lord of the heavens and earth) Who knows the secret of the heavens and the earth. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
&nbsp;
7. And they say: "Why does this Messenger (Muhammad ) eat food, and walk about in the markets (like ourselves). Why is not an angel sent down to him to be a warner with him?
&nbsp;
8. "Or (why) has not a treasure been granted to him, or why has he not a garden whereof he may eat?" And the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.) say: "You follow none but a man bewitched."
&nbsp;
9. See how they coin similitudes for you, so they have gone astray, and they cannot find a (Right) Path.
&nbsp;
10. Blessed be He Who, if He will, will assign you better than (all) that, - Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) and will assign you palaces (i.e. in Paradise).
&nbsp;
11. Nay, they deny the Hour (the Day of Resurrection), and for those who deny the Hour, We have prepared a flaming Fire (i.e. Hell).

&nbsp;
29. Hell, in which they will burn, - and what an evil place to settle in!

30. And they set up rivals to Allah, to mislead (men) from His Path! Say: "Enjoy (your brief life)! But certainly, your destination is the (Hell) Fire!"

31. Say (O Muhammad ) to 'Ibadi (My slaves) who have believed, that they should perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and spend in charity out of the sustenance We have given them, secretly and openly, before the coming of a Day on which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending.

Allah is He Who has created the heavens and the earth and sends down water (rain) from the sky, and thereby brought forth fruits as provision for you; and He has made the ships to be of service to you, that they may sail through the sea by His Command; and He has made rivers (also) to be of service to you.

33. And He has made the sun and the moon, both constantly pursuing their courses, to be of service to you; and He has made the night and the day, to be of service to you.
&nbsp;
34. And He gave you of all that you asked for, and if you count the Blessings of Allah, never will you be able to count them. Verily! Man is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, - a disbeliever (an extreme ingrate, denies Allah's Blessings by disbelief, and by worshipping others besides Allah, and by disobeying Allah and His Prophet Muhammad ).
&nbsp;
35. And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said: "O my Lord! Make this city (Makkah) one of peace and security, and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols.
&nbsp;
36. "O my Lord! They have indeed led astray many among mankind. But whoso follows me, he verily is of me. And whoso disobeys me, - still You are indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

&nbsp;
1. Alif-Lam-Mim.
&nbsp;
[These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.]
&nbsp;
2. These are Verses of the Wise Book (the Qur'an).
&nbsp;
3. A guide and a mercy for the Muhsinun (good-doers)
&nbsp;
4. Those who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as- Salat) and give Zakat and they have faith in the Hereafter with certainty.
&nbsp;
5. Such are on guidance from their Lord, and such are the successful.
&nbsp;
6. And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e.music, singing, etc.) to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allah, the Verses of the Qur'an) by way of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment (in the Hell-fire).
&nbsp;
7. And when Our Verses (of the Qur'an) are recited to such a one, he turns away in pride, as if he heard them not, as if there were deafness in his ear. So announce to him a painful torment.
&nbsp;
8. Verily, those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, for them are Gardens of delight (Paradise).
&nbsp;
9. To abide therein. It is a Promise of Allah in truth. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
&nbsp;
10. He has created the heavens without any pillars, that you see and has set on the earth firm mountains, lest it should shake with you. And He has scattered therein moving (living) creatures of all kinds. And We send down water (rain) from the sky, and We cause (plants) of every goodly kind to grow therein.
&nbsp;
11. This is the creation of Allah. So show Me that which those (whom you worship), besides Him have created. Nay, the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers and those who do not believe in the Oneness of Allah) are in plain error.
&nbsp;
12. And indeed We bestowed upon Luqman Al-Hikmah (wisdom and religious understanding, etc.) saying: "Give thanks to Allah," and whoever gives thanks, he gives thanks for (the good of) his ownself. And whoever is unthankful, then verily, Allah is All-Rich (Free of all wants), Worthy of all prai...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Surah adh-Dhariyat (The Winds That Scatter)
&nbsp;
1. By (the winds) that scatter dust.
&nbsp;
2. And (the clouds) that bear heavy weight of water;
&nbsp;
3. And (the ships) that float with ease and gentleness;
&nbsp;
4. And those (angels) who distribute (provisions, rain, and other blessings) by (Allah's) Command;-
&nbsp;
5. Verily, that which you are promised (i.e. Resurrection in the Hereafter and receiving the reward or punishment of good or bad deeds, etc.) is surely true.
&nbsp;
6. And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen.
&nbsp;
7. By the heaven full of paths,
&nbsp;
8. Certainly, you have different ideas (about Muhammad&nbsp; and the Qur'an).
&nbsp;
9. Turned aside therefrom (i.e. from Muhammad&nbsp; and the Qur'an) is he who is turned aside (by the Decree and Preordainment &Ccedil;&aacute;&THORN;&Ouml;&Ccedil; &aelig;&Ccedil;&aacute;&THORN;&Iuml;&Ntilde; of Allah).
&nbsp;
10. Cursed be the liars,
&nbsp;
11. Who are under a cover of heedlessness (think not about the gravity of the Hereafter),
&nbsp;
12. They ask; "When will be the Day of Recompense?"
&nbsp;
13. (It will be) a Day when they will be tried (i.e. burnt) over the Fire!
&nbsp;
14. "Taste you your trial (burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!"
&nbsp;
15. Verily, the Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2) will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs (in the Paradise),
&nbsp;
16. Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinun (good-doers - see V.2:112).
&nbsp;
17. They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allah) and praying, with fear and hope].
&nbsp;
18. And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness,
&nbsp;
19. And in their properties there was the right of the beggar, and the Mahrum (the poor who does not ask the others) ,
&nbsp;
20. And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty,
&nbsp;
21. And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see?

&nbsp;
1. I swear by the Day of Resurrection;
&nbsp;
2. And I swear by the self-reproaching person (a believer).
&nbsp;
3. Does man (a disbeliever) think that We shall not assemble his bones?
&nbsp;
4. Yes, We are Able to put together in perfect order the tips of his fingers.
&nbsp;
5. Nay! (Man denies Resurrection and Reckoning. So) he desires to continue committing sins.
&nbsp;
6. He asks: "When will be this Day of Resurrection?"
&nbsp;
7. So, when the sight shall be dazed,
&nbsp;
8. And the moon will be eclipsed,
&nbsp;
9. And the sun and moon will be joined together (by going one into the other or folded up or deprived of their light, etc.)
&nbsp;
10. On that Day man will say: "Where (is the refuge) to flee?"
&nbsp;
11. No! There is no refuge!
&nbsp;
12. Unto your Lord (Alone) will be the place of rest that Day.
&nbsp;
13. On that Day man will be informed of what he sent forward (of his evil or good deeds), and what he left behind (of his good or evil traditions).
&nbsp;
14. Nay! Man will be a witness against himself [as his body parts (skin, hands, legs, etc.) will speak about his deeds].
&nbsp;
15. Though he may put forth his excuses (to cover his evil deeds).
&nbsp;
16. Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an, O Muhammad ) to make haste therewith.
&nbsp;
17. It is for Us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad ) the ability to recite it (the Qur'an),
&nbsp;
18. And when We have recited it to you [O Muhammad&nbsp; through Jibrael (Gabriel)], then follow you its (the Qur'an's) recital.
&nbsp;
19. Then it is for Us (Allah) to make it clear to you,
&nbsp;
20. Not [as you think, that you (mankind) will not be resurrected and recompensed for your deeds], but (you men) love the present life of this world,

[These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.]
&nbsp;
2. The revelation of the Book (this Qur'an) is from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists) in which there is not doubt!
&nbsp;
3. Or say they: "He (Muhammad ) has fabricated it?" Nay, it is the truth from your Lord, that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you (O Muhammad ), in order that they may be guided.
&nbsp;
4. Allah it is He Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them in six Days. Then He Istawa (rose over) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). You (mankind) have none, besides Him, as a Wali (protector or helper etc.) or an intercessor. Will you not then remember (or be admonished)?
&nbsp;
5. He arranges (every) affair from the heavens to the earth, then it (affair) will go up to Him, in one Day, the space whereof is a thousand years of your reckoning (i.e. reckoning of our present world's time).
&nbsp;
6. That is He, the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
&nbsp;
7. Who made everything He has created good, and He began the creation of man from clay.
&nbsp;
8. Then He made his offspring from semen of worthless water (male and female sexual discharge).
&nbsp;
9. Then He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him the soul (created by Allah for that person), and He gave you hearing (ears), sight (eyes) and hearts. Little is the thanks you give!

10. And they say: "When we are (dead and become) lost in the earth, shall we indeed be recreated anew?" Nay, but they deny the Meeting with their Lord!

      <video:title><![CDATA[The Power of Prayer]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[&ldquo;Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying), I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favors on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.&rdquo; Quran (2:152)
Narrated Abu Hurairah The Prophet said, "Allah says, I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am Able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than them; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running. (Sahih Al-Bukh&acirc;ri, Vol.9, Had&icirc;th No.502).
And Abu Dawood narrated from Abu&rsquo;l-Dardaa&rsquo; (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Shall I not tell you of the best of your deeds and that which is most pure in the sight of your Lord, that which raises you more in status and is better for you than giving gold and silver (in charity), and better than your meeting your enemy and striking their necks and they strike your necks?&rsquo; They said, &lsquo;Yes, O Messenger of Allah.&rsquo; He said, &lsquo;Remembering Allah (dhikr).&rsquo;&rdquo; 
Ibn Taymiyyah stated that,

..one should persist in remembering Allah in general, the best of which is Laa ilaaha ill-Allah. There may be some situations where certain kinds of dhikr are preferable, such as saying Subhaana Allah wa&rsquo;l-hamdu-Lillaah wa Allahu akbar wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa Billaah. 
Moreover, one should realize that everything that the tongue utters or the heart imagines that may bring one closer to Allah, such as seeking knowledge or teaching, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, is a kind of dhikr or remembering Allah. Hence the one who occupies himself in the pursuit of beneficial knowledge after performing the obli...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Islam on Apostasy & Alcohol - Contemporary Issues]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Firstly:&nbsp;
The Muslim should not incline more towards one scholarly opinion rather than another just because it is in accordance with his whims and desires or his reasoning. Rather he has to accept the ruling based on evidence from the Qur&rsquo;aan and Sunnah. It is essential to put the texts and rulings of sharee&rsquo;ah before all else.&nbsp;
Secondly:&nbsp;
Apostasy (riddah) and going out of Islam are things that may be done in the heart, on the tongue or in one's actions.&nbsp;
Apostasy may take place in the heart, such as disbelieving in Allaah, or believing that there is another creator alongside Allaah, or hating Allaah or His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).&nbsp;
Apostasy may take the form of words spoken on the tongue, such as defaming Allaah or the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).&nbsp;
Or apostasy may take the form of outward physical actions, such as prostrating to an idol, mistreating the Mus-haf, or not praying.&nbsp; &nbsp;
The apostate (murtadd) is worse than one who is a kaafir in the first place.&nbsp;
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said, refuting the pantheistic belief of the Baatinis:&nbsp;
It is well known that the kaafir Tatars are better than these (Baatinis), because the latter are apostates from Islam, of the worst type of apostates. The apostate is worse than one who is a kaafir in the first place in many aspects.&nbsp;
Majmoo&rsquo; al-Fataawa, 1/193&nbsp;
Secondly:&nbsp;
Not every Muslim who falls into kufr is a kaafir and apostate. There are reasons why a Muslim may be excused and not judged to be a kaafir, for example: ignorance, misunderstanding, being forced, and making mistakes.&nbsp;
With regard to the first, a man may be ignorant of the ruling of Allaah, because he lives far from the Muslim lands, such as one who grows up in the desert or in a kaafir land, or has only recently come to Islam. This may include many of those Muslims who live in societies where ignorance prevails and kno...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Islam and Halal Animal Slaughter - Contemporary Issues]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
The scholars of Islam are agreed that it is permissible to eat the meat of an animal slaughtered by a woman, because of the general terms used in the wording of the Qur&rsquo;aan and Sunnah. Among the evidence that it is permissible are the following:
The aayah in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): &ldquo;Forbidden for you (for food) are: al-maytatah (dead animals &ndash; cattle-beast not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine, and the meat of that which has been slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allaah, or has been slaughtered for idols, etc., or on which Allaah&rsquo;s Name has mot been mentioned while slaughtering, and that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by the goring of horns &ndash; and that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal &ndash; unless you are able to slaughter it (before its death)&hellip;&rdquo; [al-Maa&rsquo;idah 5:3]. The evidence in this aayah is the phrase where Allaah has permitted us to eat of any animal that we are able to slaughter before it dies; this is general in application, and does not specify as to whether the person who manages to do this is a man or a woman &ndash; so it could be either. Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) reported in his Saheeh from &lsquo;Ubayd-Allaah from Naafi&rsquo;, that he (Naafi&rsquo;) heard Ibn Ka&rsquo;b ibn Maalik narrating from his father that they used to have sheep which they allowed to graze on the mountain of Sala&rsquo; in Madeenah: one of the slave-women noticed that one of the sheep was dying, so she broke a stone and slaughtered it. He said: &ldquo;Do not eat it until I ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or I send someone to ask him. So he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), or sent someone else to ask, and he told him to eat it. &lsquo;Ubay-Allaah said: &ldquo;I liked the fact that she was a slave-woman and she managed to slaughter it.&rdquo;

      <video:title><![CDATA[Theft, Murder, and Adultery - Contemporary Issues]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.&nbsp;
Theft is haraam according to the Qur&rsquo;aan, Sunnah and scholarly consensus (ijmaa&rsquo;). Allaah has condemned this action and decreed an appropriate punishment for it. The hadd punishment for a thief is to cut off his hand. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
&ldquo;And (as for) the male thief and the female thief, cut off (from the wrist joint) their (right) hands as a recompense for that which they committed, a punishment by way of example from Allaah. And Allaah is All Powerful, All Wise&rdquo; [al-Maa&rsquo;idah 5:38]&nbsp;
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;The hand should be cut off for (the theft of) a quarter of a dinar or more.&rdquo; (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Hudood, 6291)&nbsp;
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the thief because he is a corrupt element in society, and if he is left unpunished, his corruption will spread and infect the body of the ummah. He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, &ldquo;May Allaah curse the thief who steals an egg and has his hand cut off, or steals a rope and has his hand cut off.&rdquo; (al-Bukhaari, al-Hudood, 6285).&nbsp;
What indicates that this ruling is definitive is that fact that a Makhzoomi noblewoman stole at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and Usaamah ibn Zayd wanted to intercede for her. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) became angry and said, &ldquo;Do you intercede concerning one of the hadd punishments set by Allaah? Those who came before you were destroyed because if a rich man among them stole, they would let him off, but if a lowly person stole, they would carry out the punishment on him. By Allaah, if Faatimah bint Muhammad were to steal, I would cut off her hand.&rdquo; (al-Bukhaari, Ahaadeeth al-Anbiyaa&rsquo;, 3216)&nbsp;
This is the ruling of Allaah concerning theft, that the hand should be cut off from the wrist joint.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Verses that have to do with hijab:&nbsp;
1 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband&rsquo;s fathers, or their sons, or their husband&rsquo;s sons, or their brothers or their brother&rsquo;s sons, or their sister&rsquo;s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful&rdquo;
[al-Noor 24:31]&nbsp;
2 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And as for women past childbearing who do not expect wedlock, it is no sin on them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show their adornment. But to refrain (i.e. not to discard their outer clothing) is better for them. And Allaah is All‑Hearer, All‑Knower&rdquo;
[al-Noor 24:60]&nbsp;
&ldquo;Women past childbearing&rdquo; are those who no longer menstruate, so they can no longer get pregnant or bear children.&nbsp;
We shall see below the words of Hafsah bint Sireen and the way in which she interpreted this verse.&nbsp;
3 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;

      <video:title><![CDATA[How to Perform Ablution (Wudu)]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Firstly we praise Allaah for having guided you and opened your heart. We ask Allaah to make us and you steadfast in obeying Him. We appreciate your efforts to learn about your religion and we advise you to strive to acquire knowledge so that your worship will be correct. Try to learn Arabic so that you will be able to read Qur&rsquo;aan and understand it properly. We ask Allaah to bless you with beneficial knowledge.&nbsp;
With regard to how wudoo&rsquo; is to be done, there are two ways.&nbsp;
1 &ndash; Obligatory parts of wudoo&rsquo;, which are as follows:&nbsp;
(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Washing the face completely once, which includes rinsing the mouth and nose.
(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Washing the arms up to the elbows, once.
(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wiping the entire head, including the ears.
(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Washing the feet up to ankles, once.
What is meant by once in all the above is that the entire part of the body mentioned must be washed thoroughly.
(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This must be done in order, so one washes the face first, then the arms, then wipes the head, then washes the feet, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did wudoo&rsquo; in this order.
(vi)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This must be done continuously, i.e., the parts of the body must be washed one after the other with no lengthy interruption between washing one part and the next.&nbsp;
These are the obligatory parts of wudoo&rsquo; which must be done in order for wudoo&rsquo; to be sound.&nbsp;
The evidence for these obligatory parts of wudoo&rsquo; is the aayah in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;

Should we speak to you, as you are the one who put this question to us, or should we address that girl with whom the Shaytaan is toying and causing her to say audacious things about Allah, may He be exalted, when He is giving her respite? She has not stopped at disbelieving in Him; rather she has gone further by trying to express her foolish ideas, that anyone with (sound) reasoning would not accept even if he was a disbeliever like her. And you &ndash; and here is the cause of the problem &ndash; are listening to her and you think that she said something worth asking about and are anxious to find an answer for her.&nbsp;
Whatever the case, we are concerned now for you, because she did not ask us and she is not a follower of our religion such that we could give her an answer on the basis of what we believe, although our answer will, in sha Allah, be appropriate to answer her too, if she is one of those among her people who possess reason.&nbsp;
You should know that the reason for this girl&rsquo;s question is her ignorance of the Arabic language that we speak and, indeed, her ignorance of other languages.&nbsp;
The linguist Abul-Fath ibn Jinni said: Chapter on that in which knowledge of Arabic could ensure sound understanding of religious beliefs. It should be noted that this chapter is one of the most important chapters in this book and that the benefit thereof is very great indeed. That is because for most of the Muslims who went astray from the right path and drifted away from proper understanding, what caused them to go astray and go against what reason dictates is their weak understanding of this noble language through which all of mankind are addressed, and the ultimate fate of a person, whether in Paradise or Hell, is connected to understanding this language&hellip;. End quote. al-Khasaa&rsquo;is, 3/248&nbsp;
It should be noted that one of the basic principles of communication is that everything is to be spoken of in such a...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
Verses that have to do with hijab:&nbsp;
1 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband&rsquo;s fathers, or their sons, or their husband&rsquo;s sons, or their brothers or their brother&rsquo;s sons, or their sister&rsquo;s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful&rdquo;
[al-Noor 24:31]&nbsp;
2 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And as for women past childbearing who do not expect wedlock, it is no sin on them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show their adornment. But to refrain (i.e. not to discard their outer clothing) is better for them. And Allaah is All‑Hearer, All‑Knower&rdquo;
[al-Noor 24:60]&nbsp;
&ldquo;Women past childbearing&rdquo; are those who no longer menstruate, so they can no longer get pregnant or bear children.&nbsp;
We shall see below the words of Hafsah bint Sireen and the way in which she interpreted this verse.&nbsp;
3 &ndash; Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;

      <video:title><![CDATA[Islam is a System of Peace]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah.
&nbsp;
Islam is a peaceful religion because Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has called Himself as-Salaam (the One Free from all defects; this word also means &lsquo;peace&rsquo;), and Islam is His religion that He has approved of for mankind. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
 &ldquo;He is Allah than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him&rdquo;
 [al-Hashr 59:23].&nbsp;
Islam is a peaceful religion because it forbids mischief on earth.&nbsp; Allah, may He be glorified, says (interpretation of the meaning):
 &ldquo;and do good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidoon (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupt)&rdquo;
 [al-Qasas 28:77]
 &ldquo;Verily, Allah enjoins Al-Adl (i.e. justice and worshipping none but Allah Alone - Islamic Monotheism) and Al-Ihsan (i.e. to be patient in performing your duties to Allah, totally for Allahs sake and in accordance with the Sunnah (legal ways) of the Prophet SAW in a perfect manner), and giving (help) to kith and kin (i.e. all that Allah has ordered you to give them e.g., wealth, visiting, looking after them, or any other kind of help, etc.): and forbids Al-Fahsha (i.e all evil deeds, e.g. illegal sexual acts, disobedience of parents, polytheism, to tell lies, to give false witness, to kill a life without right, etc.), and Al-Munkar (i.e all that is prohibited by Islamic law: polytheism of every kind, disbelief and every kind of evil deeds, etc.), and Al-Baghy (i.e. all kinds of oppression), He admonishes you, that you may take heed&rdquo;
 [an-Nahl 16:90].&nbsp;

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
&nbsp;
Firstly:&nbsp;
We do not see how you can compare between something tangible and something intangible, so how can the person say that the language &ndash; which is an intangible thing &ndash; is better than the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) &ndash; who is a tangible thing, i.e., a person?&nbsp;
If we think about it we will realize that the matter may be taken in two ways, one that has to do with the questioner and one that has to do with the respondent.&nbsp;
With regard to the respondent: it may be that he understands &ldquo;language&rdquo; as referring to Arab nationalism &ndash; as it seems that they are Arabs and are talking about the Arabic language &ndash; and that he understands the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as referring to Islam. In this case it is possible to compare the two things and ask questions about them.&nbsp;
With regard to the questioner, he wants to draw attention to his exaggerated respect for his language by comparing it to something that is venerated by the Muslims, namely the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so he asks him if his language is greater than the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).&nbsp;
Secondly:&nbsp;
If the first interpretation is correct, then the respondent has fallen into kufr, because Arab nationalism is a jaahili call that involves kufr, criticizes Islamic sharee&rsquo;ah and divides Muslims, joining Muslims to non-Muslims on the basis of the Arabic language. In their view an Arab kaafir is closer and dearer to them than a non-Arab Muslim. This is clearly kufr and disbelief in Islam and its laws.&nbsp;
The nationalist poet Fakhri al-Baroodi said:&nbsp;
The Arab lands are my homeland, from Damascus to Baghdad
From Najd to Yemen to Egypt to Tetouan (Morocco)
No border separates us and no religion divides us
The language of al-daad (i.e., Arabic) unites us with Ghassaan and &lsquo;Adnaan.&nbsp;

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allaah.&nbsp;
What we have heard about what our Muslim brothers are going through in kaafir countries in the north and the south, where they are being harassed and persecuted for something in which they did not take part and in which they played no role, is not strange, given the wrongdoing and hatred of the kuffaar, even though they claim to be the people of justice, fairness and freedom. What is the crime of a Muslim woman who walks down the street in her hijaab? What is the crime of a Muslim who leaves his home to go and pray, not to spread mischief in the land? What is the crime of a Muslim employee who goes to his company or a student who goes to his university or a schoolgirl who is walking to her school, not going out to bomb and destroy? If the western man in the street was fair-minded &ndash; at least with himself &ndash; he would go and take revenge on the people who plotted and took part in harming him. But one who does not fear God could do anything, and the very least that the Muslims will be faced with is curses and insults. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;and you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you (Jews and Christians) and from those who ascribe partners to Allaah; but if you persevere patiently, and become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious) then verily, that will be a determining factor in all affairs&rdquo;[Aal &lsquo;Imraan 3:186]&nbsp;
Our attitude must be clear; we must explain to the kuffaar the ruling of Islamic sharee&rsquo;ah concerning harming and killing others. We should tell them that Islam forbids harming innocent people in any way, whether that involves harming their bodies, their wealth or their honour. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.&rdquo; It is not permissible to kill a kaafir who is not hostile or who has a legitimate peace treaty with the M...]]></video:description>

&nbsp;
Firstly:&nbsp;
This word &ndash; equality &ndash; which many thinkers in both the east and the west advocate in various fields of life is a word which is based on deviation and a lack of understanding, especially when the speaker attributes this idea of equality to the Qur&rsquo;aan and to Islam.&nbsp;
One of the things that people misunderstand is when they say that &ldquo;Islam is the religion of equality&rdquo;. What they should say is that Islam is the religion of justice.&nbsp;
Shaykh Ibn &lsquo;Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:&nbsp;
&ldquo;Here we should note that there are some people who speak of equality instead of justice, and this is a mistake. We should not say equality, because equality implies no differentiation between the two. Because of this unjust call for equality, they started to ask, what is the difference between male and female?&rsquo; So they made males and females the same, and then the communists said, &lsquo;What difference is there between ruler and subject? No one has any authority over anyone else, not even fathers and sons; the father has no authority over his son,&rsquo; and so on.&nbsp;
But if we say justice, which means giving each one that to which he or she is entitled, this misunderstanding no longer applies, and the word used is correct. Hence it does not say in the Qur&rsquo;aan that Allaah enjoins equality, rather it says (interpretation of the meaning):
&nbsp;&ldquo;Verily, Allaah enjoins Al‑&lsquo;Adl (i.e. justice)&rdquo;
[al-Nahl 16:90]&nbsp;
&ldquo;and that when you judge between men, you judge with justice&rdquo;
[al-Nisa&rsquo; 4:58]&nbsp;
Those who say that Islam is the religion of equality are lying against Islam. Rather Islam is the religion of justice which means treating equally those who are equal and differentiating between those who are different.&nbsp;
No one who knows the religion of Islam would say that it is the religion of equality.&nbsp; Rather what shows you that this principle is false is the fact ...]]></video:description>

Allaah created man and provided him with the tools for acqruiring knowledge, namely hearing, sight and wisdom. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And All&acirc;h has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that you might give thanks (to All&acirc;h)
[al-Nahl 16:78]&nbsp;
Islam is the religion of knowledge. The first aayah of the Qur&rsquo;aan to be revealed enjoined reading which is the key to knowledge. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists).
He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous.
Who has taught (the writing) by the pen.
He has taught man that which he knew not&rdquo;
[al-&lsquo;Alaq 96:1-5]&nbsp;
In Islam, knowledge comes before action; there can be no action without knowledge, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;So know (O Muhammad) that Laa ilaaha ill-All&acirc;h (none has the right to be worshipped but All&acirc;h), and ask forgiveness for your sin, and also for (the sin of) believing men and believing women&rdquo;
[Muhammad 47:19]&nbsp;
Allaah warns every Muslim against speaking without knowledge, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And follow not (O man, i.e., say not, or do not, or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned (by All&acirc;h)&rdquo;
[al-Israa&rsquo; 17:36]&nbsp;
Emphasizing the status of knowledge and the scholars, Allaah calls upon the scholars to bear witness to His Oneness, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;All&acirc;h bears witness that L&acirc; il&acirc;ha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), and the angels, and those having knowledge (also give this witness); (He always) maintains His creation in justice. Laa ilaaha il...]]></video:description>

Narrated by Abu Bakra (ra) Allah's messenger (saw) said: "Shall I inform you of the greatest sins and in another variation he repeated this three times. We the companions said, "Certainly, O messenger of Allah! He (saw) said: "Associating anyone with Allah, disobedience to parents".  The prophet sat up straight after he had reclined and added, "And I warn you against false utterance and false witness, "And I warn you against false utterance and false witness". The messenger of Allah (saw) kept saying that warning until we thought that he would not stop".Bukhari&amp;Muslim]]></video:description>

All praise be to Allah, the lord of the universe. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon Mohammad, His last messenger.&nbsp;
The purpose of this hand-out is to correct a false idea spread among those willing to adopt Islam as their faith. Some people have a wrong notion that entering into th Islamic fold requires an announcement from the concerned person in the presence of high ranking scholars or shaikhs or reporting this act to courts of justice or other authorities. It is also thought that the act accepting Islam, should, as a condition, have a certificate issued by the authorities, as evidence to that effect.
We wish to clarify that whole matter is very easy and that none of these conditions or obligations are required. For Allah, Almighty, is above all comprehension and knows well the secrets of all hearts. Nevertheless, those who are going to adopt Islam as their religion are advised to register themselves as Muslims with the concerned governmental agency, as this procedure may facilitate for them many matters including the possibility of performing Hajj (Pilgrimage) and Umrah.
If anyone has a real desire to be a muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion ordained by Allah for all human-being, then, one should pronounce the &ldquo;shahada&rdquo;, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The Holy Qur&rsquo;an is explicit on this regard as Allah states :
&ldquo;The Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:19)
in another verse of the Holy Qur&rsquo;an, Allah states :
&ldquo;If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (their selves in the hell fire).&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:85)
In addition, Islam is the only religion prevailing over all other religions. Allah states in the Holy Qur&rsquo;an :

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
&nbsp;
Entering churches for meetings and to listen to lectures is not free of a number of haraam things, some of which have been discussed in the answer to question no. 82836.&nbsp;
The scholars differed concerning the ruling on a Muslim entering a church in the first place. There are a number of opinions:&nbsp;
1-
That it is haraam. This is the view of the Hanafis and Shaafa&rsquo;is, but the Shaafa&rsquo;is limit the prohibition to churches in which there are images, as it says in Tuhfat al-Muhtaaj (2/424),  Nihaayat al-Muhtaaj (2/63) and Haashiyata Qalyoobi wa &lsquo;Umayrah &lsquo;ala Sharh al-Muhalla (4/236).&nbsp;
The Hanafis regard it as haraam in all cases, and they gave as their reason the fact that they are abodes of the devils, as the Hanafi Ibn Nujaym said in al-Bahr al-Raa&rsquo;iq (7/364) and in Haashiyat Ibn &lsquo;Aabideen (2/43).&nbsp;
2-
That it is makrooh. This is the view of the Hanbalis, but some of them limited this to churches in which there are images. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Fataawa al-Kubra (5/327): The view which most of our companions hold is that it is makrooh to enter churches in which there are images, and this is the correct view concerning which there can be no doubt. End quote.&nbsp;
See: al-Furoo&rsquo; (5/308), al-Adaab al-Shar&rsquo;iyyah (3/415) and al-Insaaf (1/496).&nbsp;
They quoted the following as evidence: &nbsp;
(i)
It was narrated from Ibn &lsquo;Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw images in the Ka&rsquo;bah and he did not enter until he had ordered that they be erased. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3352).&nbsp;
(ii)
It was narrated that Ibn &lsquo;Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: Jibreel promised to come to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) but he was late and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) grew concerned. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went out and sa...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Listen to the entire story of this Muslim on how he converted from Christianity to Islam. This is in response to the sarcastic nonsense Islam hatred video that was posted.Quran002.109Quite a number of the People of the Book wish they could Turn you (people) back to infidelity after ye have believed, from selfish envy, after the Truth hath become Manifest unto them: But forgive and overlook, Till Allah accomplish His purpose; for Allah Hath power over all things.002.110And be steadfast in prayer and regular in charity: And whatever good ye send forth for your souls before you, ye shall find it with Allah: for Allah sees Well all that ye do.002.111And they say: "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful."002.112Nay,-whoever submits His whole self to Allah and is a doer of good,- He will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.002.113The Jews say: "The Christians have naught (to stand) upon; and the Christians say: "The Jews have naught (To stand) upon." Yet they (Profess to) study the (same) Book. Like unto their word is what those say who know not; but Allah will judge between them in their quarrel on the Day of Judgment.]]></video:description>

Some people have a wrong notion that entering into th Islamic fold requires an announcement from the concerned person in the presence of high ranking scholars or shaikhs or reporting this act to courts of justice or other authorities. It is also thought that the act accepting Islam, should, as a condition, have a certificate issued by the authorities, as evidence to that effect.
We wish to clarify that whole matter is very easy and that none of these conditions or obligations are required. For Allah, Almighty, is above all comprehension and knows well the secrets of all hearts. Nevertheless, those who are going to adopt Islam as their religion are advised to register themselves as Muslims with the concerned governmental agency, as this procedure may facilitate for them many matters including the possibility of performing Hajj (Pilgrimage) and Umrah.
If anyone has a real desire to be a muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion ordained by Allah for all human-being, then, one should pronounce the &ldquo;shahada&rdquo;, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The Holy Qur&rsquo;an is explicit on this regard as Allah states :
&ldquo;The Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:19)
in another verse of the Holy Qur&rsquo;an, Allah states :
&ldquo;If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (their selves in the hell fire).&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:85)

      <video:description><![CDATA[Abdur Rahim Green talks about the purpose of life under the topic "Meaningful Mankind, The Islamic Definition". Born in Dar-es-salaam in Tanzania to British parents, Green's father (born in England), Gavin Green, was a colonial administrator in the then extant British Empire. At an early age he moved back to the UK with his parents. His mother is of original Polish origin. At the age of 10 he attended a Roman Catholic Monastic boarding school at Gilling Castle and then went onto Ampleforth College and went on to study history in the London University. However, he left his education unfinished in an effort to devote himself to Islamic works. He became dissatisfied with Christianity at the age of 8, with it not making sense to him. Green researched and practiced many religions, including Buddhism (for 3 years) before embracing Islam. Whilst in Britain his father got a job in 1976 working for Barclays Bank International and was subsequently sent to Cairo, Egypt, to set up a branch of the Bank there. His study of the Noble Qur'an immediately attracted him to Islam and he embraced Islam in 1988. He has been a Daw'ah practitioner in Britain since then. Green now works in the London Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre as the Visits and English Dawa Co-ordinator. Green is seen akin to lecturers such as Dr. Zakir Naik, Dr. Bilal Philips, Khalid Yasin and Yvonne Ridley, doing many lectures on Islam worldwide and also in London's famous Hyde Park, Speakers Corner]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Why Should We Follow Religion?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
&nbsp;
We could not find what you mentioned of the words of Shaykh Ibn &lsquo;Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) and we could not find this du&rsquo;aa&rsquo;, &ldquo;O Allaah, I ask You for the comfort of being close to You,&rdquo; in any of the books of Sunnah, nor did we find it narrated from any of the salaf. Hence it is unlikely that the Shaykh uttered this du&rsquo;aa&rsquo;.&nbsp;
As is well known about Shaykh Ibn &lsquo;Uthaymeen, he was very keen to adhere to the way of the salaf and to emphasize the proven du&rsquo;aa&rsquo;s, and not to assert such virtues unless there is evidence to that effect, especially when this du&rsquo;aa&rsquo; could be quoted a great deal by some people who try to put other off seeking knowledge and claim to have acquired knowledge directly from Allaah, as one of them said, &ldquo;my heart told me, from my Lord&rdquo;!&nbsp;
The texts urge us to seek knowledge and pursue it, and state that seeking knowledge is the duty of every Muslim.&nbsp;
We asked Shaykh Dr. Saami al-Saqeer (may Allaah preserve him) &ndash; who is one of the senior students of the Shaykh (may Allaah have mercy on him) and spent a great deal of time with him &ndash; and he said: This is a lie against the Shaykh.&nbsp;
Secondly:&nbsp;
The du&rsquo;aa&rsquo;, &ldquo;O Allaah, I ask You for steadfastness in this matter &hellip;&rdquo; is a proven du&rsquo;aa&rsquo; of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Ahmad (17155), al-Tirmidhi (3407) and al-Nasaa&rsquo;i (1304) narrated that Shaddaad ibn Aws (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught us to say: &ldquo;Allaahumma inni as&rsquo;aluka al-thabaat fi&rsquo;l-amri, wa as&rsquo;aluka &lsquo;azeemat al-rushd, wa as&rsquo;aluka shukra ni&rsquo;matika wa husna &lsquo;ibaadatika, wa as&rsquo;aluka lisaanan saadiqan wa qalban saleeman, wa a&rsquo;oodhu bika min sharri ma ta&rsquo;lam wa as&rsquo;aluka min khayri ma ta&rsquo;lam, wa astaghfiruka mimma...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Marriage to Non-Muslim - Contemporary Issues]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim woman if she is Christian or Jewish, but it is not permissible for him to marry a non-Muslim woman who follows any religion other than these two. The evidence for that is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Made lawful to you this day are At‑Tayyibaat [all kinds of Halaal (lawful) foods, which Allaah has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables and fruits)]. The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them. (Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time when you have given their due Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage), desiring chastity (i.e. taking them in legal wedlock) not committing illegal sexual intercourse, nor taking them as girlfriends&rdquo;
 [al-Maa'idah 5:4]&nbsp;
Imam al-Tabari said in his commentary on this verse:&nbsp;
&ldquo;chaste women from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture&rdquo; means, free woman among those whom have been given the Scripture, namely the Jews and Christians who believe in what is in the Tawraat (Torah) and Injeel (Gospel) from among the people who came before you, O believers in Muhammad, whether from among the Arabs or other people; you are permitted to marry them &ldquo;when you have given their due Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage)&rdquo; which means, if you give to those whom you marry of your (Muslims&rsquo;) chaste women and their (Jews&rsquo; and Christians&rsquo;) chaste women their mahrs or dowries.&rdquo;&nbsp;
(Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 6/104)&nbsp;
But it is not permissible for a Muslim man to marry a Magian (Zoroastrian) woman or a communist woman or an idol-worshipping ...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Where Does Halloween Come From?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah.
According to Islamic teaching, there is nothing wrong with having celebrations on the occasions of marriage or other worldly occasions, on condition that they are free of reprehensible matters such as free mixing and music. These celebrations do not come under the heading of acts of worship that are intended to bring one closer to Allah, may He be exalted; rather they are gatherings to express joy and happiness, and the basic principle with regard to customs and traditions is that they are permissible. This is in contrast to acts of worship, concerning which the basic principle is that they are not allowed unless there is evidence to show that they are prescribed.&nbsp;
Among the celebrations that are prohibited according to Islamic teaching &ndash; apart from those which involve reprehensible practices and sins &ndash; are those in which there is any imitation of the disbelievers, such as birthday celebrations and Mother&rsquo;s Day. The prohibition is more emphatic if they take a form which resembles the festivals prescribed in Islam. This is the case with regard to those occasions, as they are called &ldquo; &lsquo;eid al-milaad (lit. &ldquo;festival of birth&rdquo; i.e., birthday) and &ldquo; &lsquo;eid al-umm&rdquo; (lit. festival of mothers, i.e., Mother&rsquo;s Day) [the objection is to use of the word eid in Arabic to refer to them]. These are occasions which involve imitation of the disbelievers and those whom we are forbidden to imitate. The prohibition is more emphatic if the aim of the one who celebrates it is to draw closer to Allah, may He be exalted, thereby, because this is combining sin and innovation (bid&lsquo;ah). The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:&nbsp;
What is the ruling on celebrating children&rsquo;s birthdays? There is a saying among us that it is better to fast on that day instead of celebrating it. What is the correct view?&nbsp;
They replied:&nbsp;
Celebrating birthdays or fasting because it is one&rsquo;s birthday is all innovation (bid&lsquo;ah)...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Who Invented Valentine's Day?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:&nbsp;
Valentine&rsquo;s Day is a jaahili Roman festival, which continued to be celebrated until after the Romans became Christian. This festival became connected with the saint known as Valentine who was sentenced to death on 14 February 270 CE. The kuffaar still celebrate this festival, during which immorality and evil are practised widely.
Secondly:&nbsp;
It is not permissible for a Muslim to celebrate any of the festivals of the kuffaar, because festivals come under the heading of shar&rsquo;i issues which are to be based on the sound texts.&nbsp;
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Festivals are part of sharee&rsquo;ah, clear way and rituals of which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way&rdquo;
[al-Maa&rsquo;idah 5:48]&nbsp;
&ldquo;For every nation We have ordained religious ceremonies which they must follow&rdquo;
[al-Hajj 22:67]&nbsp;
-- such as the qiblah (direction faced in prayer), prayer and fasting. There is no difference between their participating in the festival and their participating in all other rituals. Joining in fully with the festival is joining in with kufr, and joining in with some of its minor issues is joining in with some of the branches of kufr. Indeed, festivals are one of the most unique features that distinguish various religions and among their most prominent symbols, so joining in with them is joining in with the most characteristic and prominent symbols of kufr. No doubt joining in with this may lead to complete kufr.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Partially joining in, at the very least, is disobedience and sin. This was indicated by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be up...]]></video:description>

&nbsp;
There is no doubt that what is mentioned of celebrations is haraam, because it is an imitation of the kuffaar. It is well known that the Muslims do not have any festival apart from Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, and the weekly &ldquo;Eid&rdquo; which is Friday (Yawm al-Jumu&lsquo;ah). Celebrating any other festival is not allowed and is either of two things: either it is an innovation (bid&lsquo;ah), if it is celebrated as a means of drawing close to Allah, such as celebrating the Prophet&rsquo;s Birthday (Mawlid); or it is an imitation of the kuffaar, if it is celebrated as a tradition and not as an act of worship, because introducing innovated festivals is the action of the people of the Book who we are commanded to differ from. So how about if it is a celebration of one of their actual festivals?&nbsp;
Decorating the house with balloons at this time is obviously joining in with the kuffaar and celebrating their festival.&nbsp;
What the Muslim is required to do is not to single out these days for any kind of celebration, decorating or adornment, or special foods, otherwise he will be joining the kuffaar in their festivals, which is something that is undoubtedly haraam.&nbsp;
Shaykh Ibn &lsquo;Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Similarly it is forbidden for the Muslims to imitate the kuffaar by holding parties on these occasions, or exchanging gifts, or distributing sweets or other foods, or taking time off work and so on, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Whoever imitates a people is one of them.&rdquo; Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said in his book Iqtida&rsquo; al-Siraat al-Mustaqeem Mukhaalifat Ashaab al-Jaheem: Imitating them on some of their festivals implies that one is happy with the falsehood they are following, and that could make them (the non-Muslims) take this opportunity to mislead those who are weak in faith. End quote.&nbsp;
Those who do any of these things are sinning, whether they do it to go along with them, or to...]]></video:description>

&nbsp;
It is not permissible for a Muslim to take part in the festivals and innovated celebrations of the kuffaar, such as Easter, Christmas and so on, because taking part and attending is helping in this evil, and increasing their numbers, and imitating them, all of which is not allowed. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Help you one another in Al‑Birr and At‑Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is Severe in punishment&rdquo;
[al-Maa&rsquo;idah 5:2]&nbsp;
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;Whoever imitates a people is one of them.&rdquo; Narrated by Abu Dawood (4031); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa&rsquo; al-Ghaleel (5/109).&nbsp;
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
It is not permissible for the Muslims to attend the festivals of the mushrikeen, according to the consensus of the scholars whose words carry weight. The fuqaha&rsquo; who follow the four schools of thought have stated this clearly in their books&hellip; Al-Bayhaqi narrated with a saheeh isnaad from &lsquo;Umar ibn al-Khattaab that he said: &ldquo;Do not enter upon the mushrikeen in their churches on the day of their festival, for divine wrath is descending upon them.&rdquo; And &lsquo;Umar also said: &ldquo;Avoid the enemies of Allaah on their festivals.&rdquo; Al-Bayhaqi narrated with a jayyid isnaad from &lsquo;Abd-Allaah ibn &lsquo;Amr that he said: &ldquo;Whoever settles in the land of the non-Arabs and celebrates their new year and festival and imitates them until he dies in that state, will be gathered with them on the Day of Resurrection.&rdquo; (Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah, 1/723-724)&nbsp;
The Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas was asked about Argentinean national celebrations and celebrations that are held in their churches such as Independence Day, and Christian Arab celebrations such as Easter.&nbsp;

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah.
&nbsp;
Islam is a peaceful religion because Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has called Himself as-Salaam (the One Free from all defects; this word also means &lsquo;peace&rsquo;), and Islam is His religion that He has approved of for mankind. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
 &ldquo;He is Allah than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him&rdquo;
 [al-Hashr 59:23].&nbsp;
Islam is a peaceful religion because it forbids mischief on earth.&nbsp; Allah, may He be glorified, says (interpretation of the meaning):
 &ldquo;and do good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidoon (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupt)&rdquo;
 [al-Qasas 28:77]
 &ldquo;Verily, Allah enjoins Al-Adl (i.e. justice and worshipping none but Allah Alone - Islamic Monotheism) and Al-Ihsan (i.e. to be patient in performing your duties to Allah, totally for Allahs sake and in accordance with the Sunnah (legal ways) of the Prophet SAW in a perfect manner), and giving (help) to kith and kin (i.e. all that Allah has ordered you to give them e.g., wealth, visiting, looking after them, or any other kind of help, etc.): and forbids Al-Fahsha (i.e all evil deeds, e.g. illegal sexual acts, disobedience of parents, polytheism, to tell lies, to give false witness, to kill a life without right, etc.), and Al-Munkar (i.e all that is prohibited by Islamic law: polytheism of every kind, disbelief and every kind of evil deeds, etc.), and Al-Baghy (i.e. all kinds of oppression), He admonishes you, that you may take heed&rdquo;

      <video:title><![CDATA[Increasing Faith in Difficult Times]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.&nbsp;
According to Ahl al-Sunnah wa&rsquo;l-Jamaa&rsquo;ah, eemaan (faith) is &ldquo;belief in the heart, words on the tongue and actions of the body.&rdquo; This includes three things:
&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Belief in the heart
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Words on the tongue
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Actions of the body&nbsp;
As this is the case, then it will increase and decrease. That is because the degree of belief in the heart differs from one person to another. Believing&nbsp; in what someone tells you is not the same as believing something that you see with your own eyes. Believing in what one person tells you is not the same as believing what two people tell you, and so on. Hence Ibraaheem (peace be upon him) said:
&ldquo; &lsquo;My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead.&rsquo; He (Allaah) said: &lsquo;Do you not believe?&rsquo; He [Ibraaheem (Abraham)] said: &lsquo;Yes (I believe), but to be stronger in Faith&rsquo;&rdquo; [al-Baqarah 2:260] &nbsp;
Eemaan may increase with regard to belief, contentment and tranquillity in the heart. A person may experience that in himself when he attends gatherings of dhikr where he hears a lesson. Remembering Paradise and Hell increases eemaan to the point where it as if you can see them with your own eyes. But when a person is negligent and leaves those gatherings, this certain faith is reduced in his heart. &nbsp;
Eemaan in the sense of words may increase similarly. Whoever remembers Allaah a few times is not like one who remembers Him one hundred times. The latter is far better in eemaan. &nbsp;
And the one who does an act of worship in a perfect manner will have more faith than one who does it in an imperfect manner.
&nbsp;The same applies to righteous deeds. If a person does good deeds physically more than another, the one who does more will have more eemaan than the one who does less. This is stated in the Qur&rsquo;aan and Sunnah &ndash; I mean the fact that eemaan may increase and decrease. Allaah says (interpretation of t...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.&nbsp;
All praise be to Allah, the lord of the universe. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon Mohammad, His last messenger.&nbsp;
The purpose of this hand-out is to correct a false idea spread among those willing to adopt Islam as their faith. Some people have a wrong notion that entering into th Islamic fold requires an announcement from the concerned person in the presence of high ranking scholars or shaikhs or reporting this act to courts of justice or other authorities. It is also thought that the act accepting Islam, should, as a condition, have a certificate issued by the authorities, as evidence to that effect.
We wish to clarify that whole matter is very easy and that none of these conditions or obligations are required. For Allah, Almighty, is above all comprehension and knows well the secrets of all hearts. Nevertheless, those who are going to adopt Islam as their religion are advised to register themselves as Muslims with the concerned governmental agency, as this procedure may facilitate for them many matters including the possibility of performing Hajj (Pilgrimage) and Umrah.
If anyone has a real desire to be a muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion ordained by Allah for all human-being, then, one should pronounce the &ldquo;shahada&rdquo;, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The Holy Qur&rsquo;an is explicit on this regard as Allah states :
&ldquo;The Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:19)
in another verse of the Holy Qur&rsquo;an, Allah states :
&ldquo;If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (their selves in the hell fire).&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:85)
In addition, Islam is the only religion prevailing over all other religions. Allah states in the Holy Qur&rsquo;an :
&ldquo;To thee We sent the Scripture in the truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[THE FEMALE HONEY BEE
&nbsp;
Your Lord revealed to the bees: "Build dwellings in the mountains and the trees, and also in the structures which men erect. Then eat from every kind of fruit and travel the paths of your Lord, which have been made easy for you to follow." From inside them comes a drink of varying colours, containing healing for mankind. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who reflect. (Qur'an, 16:68-69)
&nbsp;
In the honey bee colonies where each of the many bees is assigned a specific task, the only exception is the male honey bee. The males do not contribute to the defence of the hive or its cleaning, to gathering food, or making of the honeycomb and honey. The only function of the male bees in the hive is to inseminate the queen bee.106 Apart from reproductive organs, the males possess almost none of the features possessed by the other bees and it is therefore impossible for them to do anything but fertilise the queen.
&nbsp;
The worker bees carry the entire load of the colony. Although they are females like the queen, their ovaries have no maturity. This renders them sterile. They have several duties: cleaning the hive, maintaining the larvae and the young, feeding the queen bee and the males, producing honey, constructing the honeycomb and repairing it, ventilating the hive and safeguarding it, gathering supplies like nectar, pollen, water and resin, and storing these in the hive.
&nbsp;
In Arabic, there are two different usages of verbs. By means of the usage, it is possible to determine whether the subject is a female or a male. As a matter of fact, the verbs (italic words) used for the honey bee in the verses are used in the format of the verb for females. Through this, the Qur'an indicates that the honey bees that work in the making of the honey are females.107
&nbsp;
We should not forget that it is impossible for this fact to have been known about the honey bees in the time of the Prophet Muhammad (saas). Yet, Allah has pointed at this fact and shown us yet another miracle of the...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Anatomy: Scientist Converted to Islam After Reading Qur'an]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
First of all, it is essential to understand that guidance to the true religion of Islam and belief in the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the message he brought comes about only by the help of Allaah, and that we are required to explain this and produce evidence of it.
There is a great deal of clear evidence for the one who seeks to find out the truth about the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), including the following:
Allaah chose him even though he had grown up as an orphan and was illiterate, knowing neither how to read or write. All good qualities and virtues were perfected in him, to the point of ultimate perfection. All these good qualities were combined and firmly established in him, something which no one else can attain except the Prophets whom Allaah protected and guided. This combination of perfect qualities is one of the greatest proofs of the truth of his Prophethood (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
The revelation of Allaah was bestowed upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Angel of Revelation, Jibreel (Gabriel), who is recognized by all the People of the Book [Jews and Christians], came to him, and when he received revelation, there were unusual effects on him that indicated the intensity of the effort involved in receiving the Message of Allaah from Jibreel, upon whom be peace. His Companions witnessed this when he received Revelation, and they believed that the revelation was something that came from an outside source and was beyond his control; it came to him from (Allaah), the Wise and Praiseworthy.
Allaah supported the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with physical miracles, with which he challenged his people. Among the most important of these were the splitting of the moon and the Night Journey to Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). They were unable to match these miracles, and so they were a decisive, divine testimony to the truth of his Prophethood (peace and...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allah,
&nbsp;
The people of Sunnah and Jama&rsquo;ah (adherents to the prophetic way) believe that Allah is exalted above His creation because of the evidence of the Quran, Sunnah (prophetic traditions), consensus of the scholars, common sense and man&rsquo;s innate instinct (fitrah). (1) The Quran describes the "exaltedness" or "highness" of Allah in different ways, as His being high and above, and by describing how things come down from Him, and go up to Him, and by stating that He is above heaven. For example (interpretations of the meaning): (Highness): "&hellip; and He is the Most High, the Most Great." [2:255] "Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High." [87:1] (Above): "And He is the Irresistible, above His slaves &hellip;" [6:18] "They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded." [16:50] (Things coming down from Him): "He arranges (every) affair from the heavens to the earth &hellip; " [32:5] "Verily We: it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e., the Quran) &hellip;" [15:9] (Things going up to Him): "&hellip; To Him ascend (all) the goodly words, and the righteous deeds exalt it &hellip;" [35:10] "The angels and the Rooh (Jibreel) ascend to Him &hellip;" [70:4] (Allah is above heaven): "Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven, will not cause the earth to sink with you &hellip;?" [67:16] (2) The Sunnah: Many reports were narrated "mutawatir" (i.e. with a large number of narrators at every stage of the isnad/chain, such that it is impossible for them all to have agreed on a lie) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), describing his words and deeds and things of which he approved. For example, he used to say "Subhana Rabbi al-A&rsquo;la (Glory be to my Lord Most High)" in sujood (prostration), and in some ahadeeth (reports) he is reported to have said "By Allah Who is above the Throne." Among his deeds is the gesture of pointing up with his finger, when addressing the people in the greatest gathering, on the Day of &lsquo;Arafah durin...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah.
&nbsp;
This verse in Soorat Yoonus comes in the context of describing the attitude of the tyrant Pharaoh towards the Prophet of Allaah Moosa (peace be upon him) and those of the Children of Israel who believed with him. That was when Moosa (peace be upon him) set out with the believers to migrate to the blessed land, and Pharaoh and his troops pursued them in order to bring them back and punish them. During their lengthy travels, they came to the sea and could not go any further, but Allaah honoured His Prophet Moosa and the believers who were with him by making the sea dry for them so that they could walk across it, so they crossed over in the sight of their enemies, whilst they were looking on. The enemy of Allaah Pharaoh, in his arrogance and foolishness, set out in a ship behind Moosa and the people who were with him, but he and those who were with him drowned in the same sea that Moosa and the believers with him had crossed.&nbsp;
When death was surrounding the tyrant on all sides, and the waves of the sea were tossing him around, and he was sure that drowning was to be his unavoidable fate, he said: &ldquo;I believe that none has the right to be worshipped but He (Allaah) in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am one of the Muslims (those who submit to Allaah&rsquo;s Will)&rdquo; [Yoonus 10:90]. But it was too late, the time for repentance had passed and the time for believing ended once death approached, and the evildoer lost all strength and wiles.&nbsp;
Undoubtedly the death of this extreme tyrant in such a manner is one of the greatest signs which demonstrate the consequences of stubbornness, wrongdoing and arrogance. Hence Allaah wanted to establish and confirm this sign, so as to dispel any doubt or confusion. So He decreed that the body of the Pharaoh should appear motionless and dead on the shore, so that his people and those who used to worship him could see him, and that would be the most eloquent lesson to them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;

      <video:title><![CDATA[Miracle of Iron from Qur'an]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[THE MIRACLE OF IRON
&nbsp;
Iron is one of the elements highlighted in the Qur'an. In Surat al-Hadid, meaning Iron, we are informed:
&nbsp;
And We also sent down iron in which there lies great force and which has many uses for mankind&hellip; (Qur'an, 57:25)
&nbsp;
&nbsp;Iron ingot&nbsp;The word "anzalna," translated as "sent down" and used for iron in the verse, could be thought of having a metaphorical meaning to explain that iron has been given to benefit people. But, when we take into consideration the literal meaning of the word, which is, "being physically sent down from the sky," as in the case of rain and Sun rays, we realize that this verse implies a very significant scientific miracle. Because, modern astronomical findings have disclosed that the iron found in our world has come from giant stars in outer space.38
&nbsp;
Not only the iron on earth, but also the iron in the entire Solar System, comes from outer space, since the temperature in the Sun is inadequate for the formation of iron. The sun has a surface temperature of 6,000 degrees Celsius, and a core temperature of approximately 20 million degrees. Iron can only be produced in much larger stars than the Sun, where the temperature reaches a few hundred million degrees. When the amount of iron exceeds a certain level in a star, the star can no longer accommodate it, and it eventually explodes in what is called a "nova" or a "supernova." These explosions make it possible for iron to be given off into space.39
&nbsp;
One scientific source provides the following information on this subject:
&nbsp;
There is also evidence for older supernova events: Enhanced levels of iron-60 in deep-sea sediments have been interpreted as indications that a supernova explosion occurred within 90 light-years of the sun about 5 million years ago. Iron-60 is a radioactive isotope of iron, formed in supernova explosions, which decays with a half life of 1.5 million years. An enhanced presence of this isotope in a geologic layer indicates the recent nucleosynthesis of ele...]]></video:description>

Firstly:&nbsp;
What the verse means is a reminder to man of his origin and that he was created from a water gushing forth, and that the One Who created him by means of His power and might is able to recreate him for the Reckoning. Az-Zamakhshari said: If you say: what is the connection between the words &ldquo;So let man see&hellip;&rdquo; [v. 5] and the verse that comes before it (&ldquo;There is no human being but has a watcher over him&rdquo;--&nbsp;v. 4)? I would say: The connection is that when He said that over every human being there is a watcher, He followed that by advising man to think of his starting point in the first creation, so that he may know that the One Who created him is able to recreate him and recompense him, so let him strive for the Day of resurrection and recompense, and let him not cause his watcher to record anything but that which will make him happy in the Hereafter.
End quote from Tafseer al-Kashshaaf.&nbsp;
The sulb (translated above as backbone) is the back, according to the consensus of the commentators. As for the taraa&rsquo;ib (translated above as ribs), the scholars differed as to what it is and where it is located.&nbsp;
Imam at-Tabari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The commentators differed as to what is meant by at-taraa&rsquo;ib and where they are located. Some said that the word at-taraa&rsquo;ib refers to the place where the necklace goes on a woman&rsquo;s chest. This was narrated from Ibn &lsquo;Abbaas, &lsquo;Ikrimah and others.&nbsp;
Others said that the taraa&rsquo;ib is the area between the shoulders and the chest. This was narrated from Mujaahid and others among the early generation.&nbsp;
Yet others said that what is meant is that it emerges from between a man&rsquo;s back and upper chest. This was narrated from Qataadah.&nbsp;
And there were other opinions which suggested that it refers to the arms, legs or eyes, or that it refers to the ribs that are below the back, or that it refers to the essence of the heart.&nbsp;

This view is not correct, and the evidence for that is that Allaah has described in the Qur&rsquo;aan the stages of the creation of Adam. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Verily, the likeness of &lsquo;Eesa (Jesus) before Allaah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: &lsquo;Be!&rsquo; &mdash; and he was&rdquo;
[Aal &lsquo;Imraan 3:59]&nbsp;
This dust was moistened until it became sticky mud or clay that stuck to the hands. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth)&rdquo;
[al-Mu&rsquo;minoon 23:12]&nbsp;
&ldquo;Verily, We created them of a sticky clay&rdquo;
[al-Saaffaat 37:12]&nbsp;
Then it became dried (sounding) clay of altered mud. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And indeed, We created man from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud&rdquo; [al-Hijr 15:26]&nbsp;
Then when it dried it became sounding clay like the clay of pottery. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery&rdquo;
[al-Rahmaan 55:14]&nbsp;
Then Allaah moulded it into the form that He wanted and breathed into him (his) soul created by Him. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;(Remember) when your Lord said to the angels: &lsquo;Truly, I am going to create man from clay&rsquo;.
So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him&rdquo;
[Saad 38:71-72]&nbsp;
These are the stages through which the creation of Adam passed according to the Qur&rsquo;aan. As for the stages of creation which the progeny of Adam pass through, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth).
Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as a Nutfah (mixed drops of the male and female sexual discharge and lodged it) i...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[&nbsp;
Praise be to Allaah.
&nbsp;
We cannot conceal our joy and pleasure at the intention expressed in your question of embracing the true religion, Islam. The confusion and hesitation that you describe are quite understandable, because when a person has been indulging in forbidden relationships and then wishes to move to a religion of purity and chastity, it is natural to feel that his own &ldquo;nafs&rdquo; (desires) will defeat him and that he will not be able to do what Islam requires of him in the way of purity and chastity. But we will tell you some things here which we hope will help you to overcome any difficulty that you may be fearing and give a true picture of the situation.
&nbsp;
When a person follows the true religion, it is expected to have a far-reaching effect on his personality and behaviour, so that it re-forms him and gives him a fresh start and a new direction in life, completely different from the way he was during his &ldquo;jaahiliyyah&rdquo; (days of ignorance before his Islam). This radical change will produce morals and values that were not there before, which will purify his heart and fill him with a sense of chastity, so that the new Muslim looks with revulsion and disgust both at his own former deeds and at the ignorant world of promiscuity, infidelity, nakedness and utter corruption that exists in the society around him. He will come back to the sound nature (fitrah &ndash; the natural state of man) and purity of heart of which Shaytaan had robbed him during the days when he was a non-Muslim and sinner. This new direction in life is undertaken freely, by choice, and is accompanied by contentment and acceptance stemming from his total submission to the commands and prohibitions of Allaah, Who revealed this religion of Islam with all its laws. We have two sources of proof to support what we say here, one from the sharee&rsquo;ah (Islamic law)and one from history.
&nbsp;
The shar&rsquo;i(textual) evidence is to be found in numerous places in the Qur&rsquo;aan, for example (interpre...]]></video:description>

Firstly:&nbsp;
One of the greatest attributes of Allaah is wisdom, and one of His greatest names is al-Hakeem (the most Wise). It should be noted that He has not created anything in vain; exalted be Allaah far above such a thing. Rather He creates things for great and wise reasons, and for sublime purposes. Those who know them know them and those who do not know them do not know them. Allaah has stated that in His Holy Book, where He says that He has not created mankind in vain, and He has not created the heavens and the earth in vain. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us?&rdquo;
So Exalted be Allaah, the True King: Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!&rdquo;
[al-Mu&rsquo;minoon 23:115, 116]&nbsp;
&ldquo;We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for a (mere) play&rdquo;
[al-Anbiya&rsquo; 21:16]&nbsp;
&ldquo;And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, for mere play.
We created them not except with truth (i.e. to examine and test those who are obedient and those who are disobedient and then reward the obedient ones and punish the disobedient ones), but most of them know not&rdquo;
[al-Dukhaan 44:38]&nbsp;
&ldquo;HaaMeem.
[These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur&rsquo;aan, and none but Allaah (Alone) knows their meanings.]
The revelation of the Book (this Qur&rsquo;aan) is from Allaah, the AllMighty, the AllWise.
We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth, and for an appointed term. But those who disbelieve, turn away from that whereof they are warned&rdquo;

Just as it is proven that there is wisdom behind the creation of man from the standpoint of sharee&rsquo;ah (Islamic law), it is also proven from the standpoint of reason. The wise man cannot but accep...]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
The issue of this marriage depends on the ruling on what came before it. If the love between the two parties did not transgress the limits set by Allaah or make them commit sin, then there is the hope that the marriage which results from this love will be more stable, because it came about as the result of the fact that each of them wanted to marry the other.&nbsp;
If a man feels some attraction towards a woman whom it is permissible for him to marry her, and vice versa, there is no answer to the problem except marriage. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: &ldquo;We do not think that there is anything better for those who love one another than marriage.&rdquo; (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 1847; classed as saheeh by al-Busayri and by Shaykh al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 624)&nbsp;
Al-Sindi said, as noted in Haamish Sunan Ibn Maajah:&nbsp;
The phrase &ldquo;We do not think that there is anything better for those who love one another than marriage&rdquo; may be understood to refer to two or to more than two. What this means is that if there is love between two people, that love cannot be increased or made to last longer by anything like marriage.&nbsp; If there is marriage as well as that love, that love will increase and grow stronger every day.&rdquo;&nbsp;
But if that marriage comes about as a result of an illicit love relationship, such as when they meet and are alone together and kiss one another, and other haraam actions, then it will never be stable, because they committed actions that go against sharee&rsquo;ah and because they have built their lives on things that will have the effect of reducing blessings and support from Allaah, for sin is a major factor in reducing blessings, even though some people think, because of the Shaytaan&rsquo;s whispers, that falling in love and doing haraam deeds makes marriage stronger.&nbsp; &nbsp;

      <video:title><![CDATA[Islam & Democracy]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Abdur Rahim Green talks about Islam and Democracy. Born in Dar-es-salaam in Tanzania to British parents, Green's father (born in England), Gavin Green, was a colonial administrator in the then extant British Empire. At an early age he moved back to the UK with his parents. His mother is of original Polish origin. At the age of 10 he attended a Roman Catholic Monastic boarding school at Gilling Castle and then went onto Ampleforth College and went on to study history in the London University. However, he left his education unfinished in an effort to devote himself to Islamic works. He became dissatisfied with Christianity at the age of 8, with it not making sense to him. Green researched and practiced many religions, including Buddhism (for 3 years) before embracing Islam. Whilst in Britain his father got a job in 1976 working for Barclays Bank International and was subsequently sent to Cairo, Egypt, to set up a branch of the Bank there. His study of the Noble Qur'an immediately attracted him to Islam and he embraced Islam in 1988. He has been a Daw'ah practitioner in Britain since then. Green now works in the London Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre as the Visits and English Dawa Co-ordinator. Green is seen akin to lecturers such as Dr. Zakir Naik, Dr. Bilal Philips, Khalid Yasin and Yvonne Ridley, doing many lectures on Islam worldwide and also in London's famous Hyde Park, Speakers Corner]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Why Rob Chose Islam?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[&nbsp;
Praise be to Allaah.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
All praise be to Allah, the lord of the universe. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon Mohammad, His last messenger.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The purpose of this hand-out is to correct a false idea spread among those willing to adopt Islam as their faith. Some people have a wrong notion that entering into th Islamic fold requires an announcement from the concerned person in the presence of high ranking scholars or shaikhs or reporting this act to courts of justice or other authorities. It is also thought that the act accepting Islam, should, as a condition, have a certificate issued by the authorities, as evidence to that effect.
&nbsp;
We wish to clarify that whole matter is very easy and that none of these conditions or obligations are required. For Allah, Almighty, is above all comprehension and knows well the secrets of all hearts. Nevertheless, those who are going to adopt Islam as their religion are advised to register themselves as Muslims with the concerned governmental agency, as this procedure may facilitate for them many matters including the possibility of performing Hajj (Pilgrimage) and Umrah.
&nbsp;
If anyone has a real desire to be a muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion ordained by Allah for all human-being, then, one should pronounce the &ldquo;shahada&rdquo;, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The Holy Qur&rsquo;an is explicit on this regard as Allah states :
&nbsp;
&ldquo;The Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:19)
&nbsp;
in another verse of the Holy Qur&rsquo;an, Allah states :
&nbsp;
&ldquo;If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (their selves in the hell fire).&rdquo; (Qur&rsquo;an 3:85)
&nbsp;
In addition, Islam is the only religion prevailing over all other religions. Allah states in the Holy Qur&rsquo;an :

      <video:description><![CDATA[Praise be to Allaah. &nbsp;
&nbsp;
This view is not correct, and the evidence for that is that Allaah has described in the Qur&rsquo;aan the stages of the creation of Adam. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;Verily, the likeness of &lsquo;Eesa (Jesus) before Allaah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: &lsquo;Be!&rsquo; &mdash; and he was&rdquo;
[Aal &lsquo;Imraan 3:59]&nbsp;
This dust was moistened until it became sticky mud or clay that stuck to the hands. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth)&rdquo;
[al-Mu&rsquo;minoon 23:12]&nbsp;
&ldquo;Verily, We created them of a sticky clay&rdquo;
[al-Saaffaat 37:12]&nbsp;
Then it became dried (sounding) clay of altered mud. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And indeed, We created man from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud&rdquo; [al-Hijr 15:26]&nbsp;
Then when it dried it became sounding clay like the clay of pottery. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery&rdquo;
[al-Rahmaan 55:14]&nbsp;
Then Allaah moulded it into the form that He wanted and breathed into him (his) soul created by Him. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;(Remember) when your Lord said to the angels: &lsquo;Truly, I am going to create man from clay&rsquo;.
So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him&rdquo;
[Saad 38:71-72]&nbsp;
These are the stages through which the creation of Adam passed according to the Qur&rsquo;aan. As for the stages of creation which the progeny of Adam pass through, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&nbsp;
&ldquo;And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth).
Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as a Nutfah (mixed drops of the male and female sexual disch...]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Design in Dolphins]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[For dolphins, breathing is not a reflex, as it is for humans and other land mammals, but rather a voluntary movement. In other words, dolphins decide to breathe like we decide to walk. There is also a precaution taken in order to prevent the animal's being drowned while sleeping in water. While sleeping, the dolphin uses the right and left hemisphere of his brain in turn, at approximately 15-minute intervals. While one cerebral hemisphere sleeps, the dolphin uses the other to come to the surface for air.Dolphins breathe using their lungs just like other mammals, which means they cannot breathe in the water like fish. For this reason, they routinely come up to the water's surface to breathe. On the top of their heads is a hole enabling them to do just that. The bodies of dolphins have such a perfect design that, when it dives into the water, this hole is automatically closed by a cap, thus preventing water from leaking into the dolphin's body. When the animal comes up to the water's surface, the cap then reopens.The snout of the dolphin's beak is another design facilitating the movements of the animal through water. By means of this structure, the animal uses less energy in cutting through the water and swimming at higher speeds. Modern ships, too, make use of a bow like the dolphin's snout, hydrodynamically designed to increase the speed of ships just like dolphins.In addition, dolphins can swim at such great speeds that they dazzle scientists. There is a smooth flow of water around the bodies of dolphins. Research carried out on the skin of dolphins has discovered the reason for this flow. The skin of a dolphin consists of three layers. The outer layer is thin and very elastic. The middle layer is mostly composed of connective tissue and it has appendages looking like a plastic brush which anchor the outer layer to the middle layer. The third, inner, layer consists of bundles of elastic fibers. Therefore, when turbulence begins to form in the water around the speedily swimming dolphin, the outer skin transmit...]]></video:description>

Quran
002.109
Quite a number of the People of the Book wish they could Turn you (people) back to infidelity after ye have believed, from selfish envy, after the Truth hath become Manifest unto them: But forgive and overlook, Till Allah accomplish His purpose; for Allah Hath power over all things.
002.110
And be steadfast in prayer and regular in charity: And whatever good ye send forth for your souls before you, ye shall find it with Allah: for Allah sees Well all that ye do.
002.111
And they say: "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful."
002.112
Nay,-whoever submits His whole self to Allah and is a doer of good,- He will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
002.113
The Jews say: "The Christians have naught (to stand) upon; and the Christians say: "The Jews have naught (To stand) upon." Yet they (Profess to) study the (same) Book. Like unto their word is what those say who know not; but Allah will judge between them in their quarrel on the Day of Judgment.]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Abdur Rahim Green - Why I Came to Islam]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Abdur Raheem Green (born Anthony Vatswaf Galvin Green; 1962) is a British Muslim convert who is known in some Muslim communities for his work in Dawah, both in televised formal settings and informal contexts such as Hyde Park's Speakers Corner. He is a presenter on Peace TV. He is engaged in education and media work on Peace TV and is the chairman of iERA, the Islamic Education &amp; Research Academy. Green has given talks overseas, including a peace conference held in Mumbai.
Green was born in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. His father was a colonial administrator in the British Empire and his mother is Polish. His father was agnostic and his mother a devout Roman Catholic. Green was raised in the Roman Catholic faith from a young age.
Green attended a Monastic Roman Catholic boarding school, St Martin's Ampleforth at Gilling Castle, and then Ampleforth College. When he was 11, his father took a job in Cairo, and so Abdur Raheem would travel to stay there during his school holidays. He studied history at the University of London, but did not complete his degree because of a growing disillusionment with what he regarded as the Eurocentric teaching of the British educational system.
At a young age, Green began to question his Roman Catholic upbringing. However, at the age of 19, he stated that he would "vigorously defend" the faith, even though he did not actually believe in it. He also practiced Buddhism for nearly three years, though never formally embraced it. In 1987, Green first became interested in Islam, picking up his first copy of the Qur'an. Green embraced Islam in 1988, and has been a Dawah practitioner ever since.]]></video:description>
