FELIX OF NOLA AND Q9 VERSE 40
1: From my research, I couldn’t find any specific mentions of Saint Felix of Nola in Islamic history or literature. No book of Islamic Tarikh mention his name. Felix of Nola is primarily known as a Christian saint and martyr, and there isn’t any connection between his life or teachings and Islamic history or theology. […]
THE RAK’AH OF SOLAAT TARAAWEEH
Reading through the opinions of the famous scholars of Madh-hab and how they understood and interprete the Islamic evidences, we found that: The Hanafiyyah are of the opinion that solaat Taraawiih is of twenty rak’ah. The Shaafi’iyyah and Hanabillah also hold to the view that the rak’ah is twenty rak’ah. While the Maalikiyyah are of […]
CAN DUA CHANGE THE QADAR?
One of the interesting aqeedah discourses is the issue of Dua and Qadar. How they relate and work together. Every Muslim would want to know if Dua can change his predestined, so as to intensify more efforts in making Dua for a good worldy affairs and Qadar. Interestingly, there is no direct answer to this […]
WHILE PALESTINE BLEEDS….
I read people throwing support behind the act of terrorism Israel has been perpetrating since over seven decades in Palestine. Unfortunately these same people are supposed educated literates that should get certain points into factor. If they argue they are supporting Israel because it was mentioned in the bible as the Promised Land, then the […]
Cultural Greetings: Prostration and Kneeling Down (Part 2)
We asked earlier,“Then, what is the ruling of Stooping, Bowing, Kneeling and Prostration?” It must be categorically stated that there is no distinctive and clear-cut evidence (دليل قطعي الثبوت) either in the Qur’an or Sunnah of the Prophet that prohibits stooping and Kneeling to greet. And no single hadith was reported in all the Kutub […]

Keeping or Trimming The Beards
Yet another controversial issue among Muslims today is the issue of keeping, shaving or trimming of the beards. Some have been considered ahlu bid’ah (innovators) for shaving or trimming their beards; while others have been seen as Sunnis for keeping their beards. Likewise some Muslims disregard growing of the beards as part of Islam. Are […]
AL-QARADAAWI ON THE NEO-SALAFIS: THE MISCHIEVOUS AMUKOKO PREACHER…
I don’t have issue with people making refutations or exposing what they believe in as the truth; but please always keep refutations honest. Always be truthful and sincere in your expositions. Knowledge is amaanah and you shall account for it. There’s no benefit in attacking people just because of the hate you posses towards them, […]
Politics in Islam: Democracy/Voting (Volume 1)
Democracy simply gives the people the authority to choose their own leader, and the people’s choice are known through voting. So it’s left to the people to either choose a trustworthy leader or a tyrant who doesn’t have the fears of God. It is high time the Muslims who want to be ruled by the […]
