ON ACHIEVING UNITY IN RAMADHAN CRESCENT SIGHTING
It may sound ideal to try to unite the entire world upon one date, but given the host of variables involved in the process, it is unlikely to happen anytime soon. Since some aspects of determining the new month were left vague by the Prophet, people will naturally differ in trying to interpret what Allah […]
CONTROVERSIES SURROUNDING SOLAAT TARAAWIIH
The word Taraawiih تراويح is the plural of the word “Tarwihah” which literally means “To rest”. In the context of solaat Taraawiih, it means to rest between every four rak’ah. As defined by the author of Lisaanul Arab. Going by this literal meaning, we can understand that if we perform eight rak’ah, we get only […]
WHAT IS THE SIN OF AL-QARADAAWI?
In the first three volumes of this discuss, I specifically mentioned that the intent behind these clarifications is not to defend blindly the personality of al-Qaradaawi; rather, the purpose is to scrutinize and learn about those allegations, using al-Qaradaawi as a case study. Al-Qaradaawi is a scholar par excellence, and a blessing for this Ummah. […]
Times of the Five daily Salawaat
Allah has established in verse 103 of an-Nisaa that the Solaat He made an obligation for us is a timed ordinance for the believers. Therefore, the solaat must be fulfilled in its prescribed period of time. Jibreel however was sent to tell the Prophet (solla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) these prescribed periods of times. He […]
The face/reality of Da’wah….
Unity and reconciliation with any group of Muslims on social, economic and political spheres is more beneficial than fighting within the ranks of Muslims or leading the Ummah to irreconcilable differences; thereby causing crisis or a war. If we have learnt from our (islamic) history, we would have solved 90% of our today’s problem. Unfortunately, […]
IS PROPHET ISA COMING BACK?
The religion belongs to Allah only. It is no man’s property. Religious issues should be discussed with respect and knowledge. Only the knowledgeable ones about areas of Islam should talk about them; and certainly with convincing evidences. Personal issues should likewise be separated from religious issues. The topic this article aims to address seems to […]
THE POWER OF COMPATIBILITY
2: Physical Compatibility If you prefer a tall man with six-pack, go for him. If you want a lady with big bosom or butt, search for her. Don’t try to be forming superman piety. As long as you know that these features may not last forever; but who says you shouldn’t enjoy it while it […]

Family planning, abortion, and fear of poverty…
I haven’t come across any evidence that explicitly says it is mandatory upon the couple to have children in their marriage. Culturally, psychologically, emotionally, and sunnatically, you will hardly find any sensible couple who chose not to have children – couple with the joy and happiness that comes from it. The point here is that […]
THE MAJOR DISEASE BEDEVILING THE UMMAH
The basic reality we must all accept in theory, in reality, and in practice is that only the Prophet of Allah is infallible; no other person, be he a Sheikh, a Sultan, or a subject (citizens) – is free from errors or mistakes. Though, we may overlook their errors for being human, we must never […]
