What is Islam

  Islam is the religion of mercy and kindness, the religion of tolerance and ease. Allaah has not burdened this ummah (community, nation) with more than it can bear. Whatever good it does, it will be rewarded for it, and whatever evil it does, it will have to bear the burden of that sin, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):  “Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned” [al-Baqarah 2:286]  Allaah has spared the Muslims any difficulty or hardship in all that He has enjoined upon them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):  “He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islamic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion of Islam), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship” [al-Hajj 22:78]  Every sin that a Muslim commits because he makes a mistake, or forgets, or is forced to do it, is forgiven by Allaah, as Allaah says (interpretation of the m

  الحمد للہ رب العالمین والصلوٰۃ والسلام علی سیّد المرسلین -أما بعد ! اللہ تعالیٰ نے انسان پر بے شمار انعامات و احسانات فرمائے ہیں کہ جنہیں شمار کرنا کسی انسان کے بس کی بات نہیں۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ ارشاد فرماتے ہیں: وَاِنْ تَعُدُّوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ لَا تُحْصُوْهَا ابراھیم – 34 ان انعامات میں سے اﷲ تعالیٰ کی ایک نعمت ہے۔ امن ‘ سکون ‘ راحت و آرام‘ اور یہ انسان کو اسی وقت حاصل ہو سکتا ہے۔ جب وہ ہر طرح سے بے خوف ہو جائے اور وہ سمجھے کہ اب میری جان‘ مال‘ عزت و آبرو محفوظ و مامون ہے ۔ تو وہ پرُسکون زندگی گزارے گا لیکن اگر وہ سمجھتا ہے کہ کوئی اس کا دشمن اس کی جان مار دے گا یا اس کا مال لوٹ لے گا یا پھر اس کی عزت کو پامال کر دیگا۔ تو وہ پریشان ہو جائیگا اور اس کا سکون ‘ راحت و آرام سب کچھ ختم ہو جائے گا۔ اس لیے اللہ تعالیٰ نے خوف اور پریشانی کو ایک امتحان و آزمائش بیان فرمایا ہے۔ ارشاد باری تعالیٰ ہے۔ وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوْعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْوَالِ وَالْاَنْفُسِ وَالثَّمَرٰتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصّٰبِرِيْنَ البقرة – 155 ’’اور ہم تمہیںخوف اور بھوک اور مالوں اور جانوں اور

The Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them all) are people whom Allah chose especially to be the companions of His Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). Their virtues that are referred to in the Qur’an and saheeh Sunnah, and to which history testifies and those who loved them and those who opposed them also testified, are too many to count. According to the questioner’s way of thinking and reasoning, everything that is trusted and definitive may be subjected to these baseless doubts and illusions, and these far-fetched notions, which no man with sound reasoning could accept.  Whoever develops doubts about the sound character of the Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them) will also develop doubts about the religion of Allah, about the Book of Allah, about the laws of Allah, and about the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).  Who is it that taught people the Qur’an and taught them their religious obligations, their duties acco

Islam's stance on what is permissible to eat and what is not is clear. There are strict rules when it comes to meat regarding what is allowed and what is forbidden. In Surat Al-Maida (The Table) Allah says: "Forbidden to you (for food) are: AI-Maytatah (the dead animals -cattle-beasts not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine, and the meat of that which has been slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah or has been slaughtered for idols etc, or on which Allah's Name has not 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 - and that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal - unless you are able to slaughter it(before its death) and that which is sacrificed (slaughtered) on AnNusub (stone altars). [Forbidden] also is to use arrows seeking luck or decision, [all] that is Fisqun (disobedience of Allah and sin). This day, those who disbelieved have given up all

Question: I am curious about the coverings that you have to wear if you're a female in your religion/culture. it really does all seem very vain for us that are Christian because it implies that a woman thinks every man wants her if she is not wearing this type of garb. it also seems that men are not to be trusted with someone from your culture/religion because of the "beauty" that you feel you possess, but people could be beautiful, and not every man wants them. can you shed some light on this for me? I will be honest and say that when I see someone wearing this, I always think "how vain are you?". thank you ahead of time for replying. Answer: Praise be to Allah.
