Abu Hurairah relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “There are no days more loved to Allah for you to worship Him therein than the ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Fasting any day during it is equivalent to fasting one year and to offer salatul tahajjud (late-night prayer) during one of its nights is like performing the late night prayer on the night of power. [i.e., Lailatul Qadr].” [This is related by at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and al-Baihaqi] Is this authentic?

Does Islam allow the taking of non Muslim women as slaves if the country doesn’t have a treaty with the Muslims? Like the Khawarij say it does, so I want to know.

This can only be applied in a real Islamic country that has a legitimate war. What the khawarij are doing today is not related to Isalm as their reign is not real nor legitimate.

This is possible but I wouldn’t recommend it as it would open a door for Satan to make you feel boastful. People will know that you want to pray more at home. It is best to offer witr with the Imam and then you may pray as many as you want at home without repeating your […]

masjids in my city, Maghrib is scheduled for 5.34pm. Around 5.35pm I thought heard adzan from afar, but not 100% sure. Probably from a distant masjid. There are 3-4 masjids nearby, but even until 5.47pm there is no sound from them. I checked many clocks and schedules. So I just broke my fast. Is it justified, what I did? PS: now is 5.53pm, I checked and still no adzan from near

it was about music and similar matters which the quran doesn’t have an explicit comment, but we do have direct evidence from hadhith and commentary of the Salaf regarding certain verses also agreement of vast majority of scholars. This brother questions the reliability of sources other than Quran and calls to use logic and reasoning in order to know whether sometime is good or bad. and according to him this is a commandment of Allah. We don’t need to argue with him but he is generating some following that we are worried about. So just need some evidence from quran and hadhit that forbid following one’s own logic in such matters.

Such a person is following the footsteps of Satan who was the first one to use his logic when he refused prostrating to Adam, saying that he is better than him; he was created from fire while Adam was created from clay! Such a person is deviant and an innovator and can be in danger […]
