Ok this is more based than I thought. I thought he would just be for liberal Islam (ie. fake Islam) since when declaring himself a Muslim he was filmed praying in Dubai UAE, an infidel country. He's still a harami but this may be a net positive.

>>620 Every heart that is guided is a success.

Do we need to be reminded that gossip and speculation about Muslims is a great sin; it goes without saying that this is totally inappropriate for this board. If you believe a brother to have done something wrong the proper way is to advise him.

>>630 Good reminder, thank you

Another question: if I understand correctly hunting domesticated animals is not permitted. How does this work with animals that are normally considered game but are kept similarly to domesticated animals? Moose are an example which are sometimes kept, with some difficulty, which is how we have moose cheese (which is very expensive). Deer are also sometimes kept in large "game pens" which can be many hectares in size. Obviously "hunting" such penned animals is not permitted, but does this make their non-penned brothers and sisters also not permitted?

Rewards for our good deeds There is a great deal of reward in this world and the next to be attained through our good works, by Allah's grace. Allah says: مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ Whosoever doeth right, whether male or female, and is a believer, him verily we shall quicken with good life, and We shall pay them a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do. It is from the mercy and bounty of Almighty Allah that He multiplies our good deeds. Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every deed of the son of Adam is multiplied from ten to seven hundred times. Allah the Exalted says: Except for fasting, for it is done for my sake and I will reward it. (Sahih Muslim 1151) A good deed is multiplied by Allah from ten like it up to seven hundred. However, a bad deed remains just one bad deed.

>Voluntary fasting (this hadith was cut off) Abu Umamah reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, tell me a deed to do.” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “You must fast, for there is nothing equal to it.” (Sunan al-Nasā’ī 2223)

Monday the 9th of Dhul Hijjah (July 19th) is the day of Arafah. Don't forget to fast in sha Allah! The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about the observance of Saum (fasting) on the day of 'Arafah. He said, "It is an expiation for the sins of the preceding year and the current year." (Narrated by Muslim)

>>254 Shayateen are the kuffar of the jinn, don't know where you're getting your funny stuff from, but I wish you peace good health and get well soon

>>255 Maybe we had a clash of semantics.

>>255 >Shayateen are the kuffar of the jinn Not quite. Shayateen are those who invite others to evil, regardless whether they're human or jinn.

>>269 Dajjal has not appeared yet. And there are fatawa saying it's ok to keep distance out of necessity.

>>271 >Dajjal has not appeared yet. Of course not. But he has been released. >And there are fatawa saying it's ok to keep distance out of necessity. A fatwa is a legal opinion, and this fatwa in particular is done through an invalid ijtihad. Why is it invalid? Because an ijtihad can only be done when the ummah is facing an unprecedented situation. Is Covid an unprecedented situation? No, it is not. It is a disease outbreak, and there were disease outbreaks in the time of the Prophet and the Aslaf. The plague of Amwas comes to mind. Did the Prophet or the Aslaf enforce lockdowns and permit social distancing in solah during these plague? No, they did not. Then, we already have an example to follow : The Prophet did not social distance during solah in the times of plague. The Aslaf did not social distance during solah in the times of plague. So what gives us the right to do it? The answer : ignorance and arrogance. We'd rather follow the commands of Dajjal's WHO than the teachings of the Prophet. Reminder that in the times of plague, the Prophet's commands were only : "to not enter or leave a plague-affected area, and if you die to the plague while obeying this command, you die as martyr".

Happy Friday! >Aws bin Aws narrated: "Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday, and bathes completely, and goes early, arriving early, gets close and listens and is silent, there will be for him in every step he takes the reward of a year of fasting and standing (in prayer)."

>>18 >What are Islam's views on aliens, other planets and the possibility of life existing outside of Earth? Allah is the Lord of ALL that exists, including aliens, planets, worlds, dimensions, multiverses, alternate realities etc etc that theoretically may or may not exist outside of the scope of man's perception and earth. So it doesn't matter if an alien race light years away believe in some space deity or religion, if Islam is presented to them and they submit, they are Muslim and if they reject it, they are kufaar. The same would apply to another human living in another dimension or multiverse, the race/species is irrelevant, the location is irrelevant. The created being in their respective world(s) and existence is one of two types Muslim or Kaafir (which means any and all things other than Islam).

>>18 The Qur'an says the Earth is flat.

>>616 post verse

>>575 >The created being in their respective world(s) and existence is one of two types Muslim or Kaafir (which means any and all things other than Islam). True. Islam is not just a religion. The natural state of all things dead or alive is Islam. Humans and Jinn are the only ones (that we know about) who can depart from this natural state because of our free will. Everything and literally everything else is in a state of submission to Allah, i.e. Islam.

>>618 >free will free choice, I should say.

>>381 Doesn't the Koran say that Allah sent a prophet to every people?

>>380 Christ was heroic in rebuking the Jews, cleansing the temple and enduring hardship from his detractors. Gautama was heroic in his efforts to reach Fana and his renunciation of the world despite being of nobility.

>>459 It does, but they did not come with different religions, they were all prophets of Islam

>>460 Christ was also Muslim, so...

>>380 there is no >besides islam

>>563 >One merely needs to not be an obstacle to class struggle The struggle is between Faith and Unbelief, not between classes. The communists have chosen their side and we have chosen ours. >You mean like Sunni and Shia? Ahl al Sunnah are Muslims, the Shia worship graves. >Liberal nonsense I can assure you that I am not a liberal. >Again, so long as Muslims do not impede class struggle then there is no problem. Islam is the religion of bringing all people into God's faith and establishing harmony and peace between them. We're gonna impede your "class struggle". Now what would you like to discuss? Your question has been answered. Are you only here to make smart half-baked remarks now?

>>564 >Lol what? Of course it is. It's part of the ideology, a main component. All that you need to know to resolve this confusion is to know that the material and the immaterial are separate. They must by necessity be of a different nature. We could call this distinction an act of Allah. >>565 >The struggle is between Faith and Unbelief, not between classes. Belief cannot be ascertained outside the mind. If you think otherwise then you have entered the realm of neurology. It would do you good to understand the difference between base and superstructure. >Ahl al Sunnah are Muslims, the Shia worship graves. The Shia belief implies that everyone is Muslim. This is a point I have raised with Jews. >I can assure you that I am not a liberal. Yes you are. You deny class, and you deny that the goal of communists is democracy. This is a common liberal trait. Denial of class struggle is tacit support of class society. >all people into God's faith This will literally never happen. All it takes is a single nonbeliever. Islam will perish long before. So says the archeological record. >establishing harmony and peace between [people] https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm I admire your spirit, and this is a point I would not mind discuss further.

>>561 Islam is about the seen and the unseen.

>>566 >that the material and the immaterial are separate They are inseparably connected. God says: اللَّهُ الَّذِي رَفَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ۖ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُم بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوقِنُونَ "Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your Lord." (ar-Ra'd 13:2) The Unseen is simply that which cannot be perceived by human senses. The Seen and the Unseen are inseparable; consider how the soul is connected with the body. Consider also the Salah: The connection of man with his Lord. If the Seen and the Unseen were completely separate, as you claim, then there would be no Salah, as it would be impossible for a man to connect with his Lord. No, even that which is veiled to humans affects and interacts with that which we can perceive. God Himself is in the Unseen, as are the angels, jinns, and the worlds of the afterlife, and all of these undoubtedly and profoundly affect us humans as they give meaning and purpose to life and existence itself. >Belief cannot be ascertained outside the mind Faith is manifest through practice. Establishing the religion means giving Allah His Right to be obeyed exclusively. It means establishing the Salah and giving the Zakat, enjoining the good and forbidding the evil with the hand, tongue and heart, judging between people according to Allah's revealed Law, and learning, teaching and applying knowledge of the religion. Islam is not a private matter. It does not hide itself in people's homes. It is to encompass all parts of life and govern all affairs. Did Muhammad (peace be upon him) tell his companions; "now just go back to home and keep it to yourself"?! No. They came together and built an Islamic state and society founded upon faith, and you could see this even if you couldn't see inside people's hearts. >Yes you are. I do not follow any of your secular ideologies, all of which are misguidance and a means for evil to spread. >deny that the goal of communists is democracy

>>570 >It already has happened. All of humanity was originally upon Islam.

Also, interestingly enough The way I see it, per the afore mentioned hadith >And he reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Satan will come to one of you and he will say: Who created this and that? until he says to him: Who created your Lord? When it comes to this, let him seek refuge in Allah (from the Shaytaan) and stop such thoughts. (Sahih Bukhari 3102) >Satan will come to one of you OP is one of two types of people, a human devil or a person enticed by a devil (why not a just a curious person seeking answers? Because of the response in >>525 which I will, for sake of argument, assume are the same person).

>>536 >a human devil you flatter me

>>553 what? Why would I go to a Christian board?

>>551 don't get ahead of yourself it isn't the same as a Christian calling you a devil lol

>>553 ???
