MEET SAUDI ARABIA'S TOP SCHOLAR IBN
BAZ . . . HIGHEST AUTHORITY FOR THE MUSLIMS!
Some Quotations and Commentaries on the "fatwas" of the
"greatest" Salafi/Wahhabi "scholar" Ibn Baz.My
comments are bracketed where they have been inserted [Since Baz's
writings often quote the Quran without a complete citation, in
many cases I added citations!]
----------------------------------
THE EARTH IS FLAT!
Title of the Book: "Evidence that the Earth is Standing
Still."
Author: Sheikh Abdul Aziz Ben Baz.
Editor: Islamic University of Medina.
Year: 1395 AH [1974 CE]
City: Medina, Saudi Arabia.
Page: 23.
He said in his book: "If the earth is rotating as they claim,
the countries, the mountains, the trees, the rivers, and the
oceans will have no bottom and the people will see the eastern
countries move to the west and the western countries move to the
east."

From "Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and the Battle
for Rationality" by Parvez Hoodbhoy: **** (Page 49)
".. The Sheikh (Abdul Aziz Ibn Baz) authored ... a book in
Arabic entitled Jiryan Al-Shams Wa Al-Qammar Wa-Sukoon Al-Arz.
This translates into Motion of the Sun and Moon, and Stationarity
of the Earth... In an earlier book, he had threatened dissenters
with the dire fatwa or takfir (disbelief), but did not repeat the
threat in the newer version."

From Carl Sagan:
"That is a well-known religious edict, or fatwa, issued two
years ago by Sheik Abdel-Aziz ibn Baaz, the supreme religious
authority of Saudi Arabia. The blind theologian's status gives his
fatwas great weight, though his opinions have often raised
eyebrows or embarrassed worldly Saudis..."

``In 1993, the supreme religious authority of Saudi Arabia, Sheik
Abdel-Aziz ibn Baaz, issued a edict, or fatwah, declaring that the
world is flat. Anyone of the round persuasion does not believe in
God and should be punished.''
----------------------------------
KILL ANY MUSLIM WHO STOPS PRAYING!
From "Islamic Fatawas Concerning Women":
How Does One Behave Toward a Relative who Does Not Pray?
Question 5: 1 have a brother-in-law who rarely prays. I live with
my husband's family and [the female members of] his family sit
with him even if the Imam is praying. What should I
do? I am not one of his relatives (mahram). Is there any sin upon
me since I do not have the ability to advise him?
Response: If he does not pray, then he is deserving to be
boycotted. You should not greet him nor should you respond to his
greeting, until he repents. This is because not praying is a
greater form of kufr [that takes one out of the fold of Islam].
This is true even if the person does not deny that it is
obligatory. This is according to the most correct opinion among
the scholars. The Prophet said, "The covenant that is between
us and them [the disbelievers] is the prayer. Whoever abandons it
has committed blasphemy. "This was recorded by Ahmad and the
compilers of the Sunan with a sound chain. The Prophet also said,
"Between a man and disbelief and polytheism is the abandoning
of the prayer. "This was recorded by Imam Muslim in his Sahih.
However, IF A PERSON DENIES THE OBLIGATION OF THE PRAYERS, THEN HE
IS A DISBELIEVER ACCORDING TO THE CONSENSUS OF THE
SCHOLARS.THEREFORE, IT IS OBLIGATORY UPON HIS FAMILY TO ADVISE HIM
AND TO BOYCOTT HIM IF HE DOES NOT REPENT. IT IS ALSO OBLIGATORY TO
TAKE HIS MATTER TO THE RULER FOR HIM TO BE ASKED TO REPENT.
IF HE REPENTS, [THAT IS ACCEPTED FROM HIM]. IF HE DOES NOT REPENT,
HE IS TO BE KILLED. This is because Allah has said in the Quran,
"But if they repent and offer prayer perfectly and give zakat,
then leave their way free" (al-Tauba [9:]5).
Also, the Prophet said, "I have been prohibited from killing
those who pray."
And Allah is the One who provides guidance.

EXPEL ALL NON-MUSLIMS FROM ARABIAN PENINSULA!
From "Islamic Fatawas Concerning Women": Ruling About
Hiring a Non-Muslim Maid [or Servant]
Question 6: 1 sent requests asking for a maid to help my wife with
her housework. I discovered, through letters, that they did not
find a Muslim in the country that I wanted a maid from. Is it
allowed for me to hire a non-Muslim maid?
Response: IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A NON-MUSLIM MAID OR A
NON-MUSLIM MALE SERVANT, OR A WORKER WHO IS NON-MUSLIM FOR ANYONE
LIVING IN THE ARABIAN PENINSULA. THIS IS BECAUSE THE PROPHET
ORDERED THE JEWS AND CHRISTIANS TO BE EXPELLED FROM THAT LAND. HE
ORDERED THAT ONLY MUSLIMS SHOULD BE LEFT THERE. HE DECREED UPON
HIS DEATH THAT ALL POLYTHEISTS MUST BE EXPELLED FROM THIS
PENINSULA.
[This nonsense comes from the following hadith, which the Great
"Mufti" fails to cite: Muslim, Book 019, Number 4366: It
has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: I will expel the
Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave
any but Muslim.]
----------------------------------
From "Islamic Fatawas Concerning Women":
RULING CONCERNING WOMEN DRIVING AUTOMOBILES
All praises are due to Allah.
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the Messenger of
Allah, his family, his Companions and all who follow his guidance.
To proceed: THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE
RULING OF WOMEN DRIVING AUTOMOBILES.
The response is the following:
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT SUCH IS NOT
ALLOWED.
Women driving leads to many evils and negative consequences.
Included among these is her mixing with men without her being on
her guard. It also leads to the evil sins due to which such an
action is forbidden. The Pure Law forbids those acts that lead to
forbidden acts and considers those means to be forbidden also.
Allah has ordered the wives of the Prophet and the women of the
believers to remain in their houses, to wear hijab and not to
display their adornments to non-mahram males as that leads to
promiscuity that overruns a society.
Allah has stated, "Stay in your houses and do not display
yourselves like that of the times of ignorance and offer prayer
perfectly and give Zakat and obey Allah and His Messenger"
(al-Ahzab [33:]33).
Allah also says, ‘O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters
and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all
over their bodies. That will be better, that they should be known
(as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. (al-Ahzab
[33:]59)
Yet another verse states, "Tell the believing women to lower
their gaze and protect their private parts and not to show off
their adornments except only that which is apparent and to draw
their veils over necks and bosoms and not to reveal their
adornments except to their husbands, their fathers, their
husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their
brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their
women or the (female) slaves, or old male servants who lack vigor,
or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. And let
them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their
adornment. And beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you
may be successful" (al-Nur [24:] 31).
The Prophet himself said, "A man is never alone with a woman
except that Satan is the third. "’The Purifying Law forbids
all of the causes that lead to depravity. Such depravity leads to
the innocent and pure women being accused of indecencies. Allah
has laid down one of the harshest punishments for such an act in
order to protect society from the spreading of the causes of
depravity.
Women driving cars, however, is one of the causes that lead to
that. This is something obvious. But some people are ignorant of
the laws of the Shariah and the evil ends that being lax lead to.
When such evils are also accompanied by what has inflicted many of
diseased hearts of love for promiscuity and the enjoyment of
looking at women, it leads to
people jumping into this discussion without knowledge and without
any consideration of the evils that are behind it.
Allah has clearly stated. "Say: The things that my Lord has
forbidden are illicit acts, whether committed openly or secretly,
sins [of all kinds], unrighteous oppression, joining partners [in
worship] with Allah for which He has given no authority, and
saying things about Allah of which you have no knowledge"
(al-Araf [7:]33).
Another verse in the Quran states, "Follow not the footsteps
of Satan. Verily he is to you an open enemy. [Satan] commands you
only what is evil and sinful, and that you should say against
Allah what you know not" (al-Baqara [2:]168-169).The Prophet
said, "I have not left behind me any temptation more harmful
for men than women."[See Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number
3]
Hudhaifah ibn al-Yamaan said, "The people used to ask the
Messenger of Allah about good but I used to ask him about evil out
of fear that it may reach me. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, -we
used to be living in the Times of Ignorance and Evil. Then Allah
brought this good [to us].Will there be after it evil again?' He
said, 'Yes.' I said, 'After that evil, will there be good again?'
He said, 'Yes, but it will be tainted.' I said, 'How will it be
tainted?' He said, 'There will be a people
who would guide without guidance, you will approve of some of
their deeds and disapprove of some others.' I said, 'Will there be
evil after that good?' He said, 'Yes, there will be callers from
the gates of the Hell-Fire. Whoever responds to them shall be
flung into it.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, describe them to
us.' He said, 'They will be from our own people and speak our
language.' I said, 'What do you order me to do if I should come
across that time?' He said, 'Stick to the community of the Muslims
and their leader.' I said, 'Suppose they do not have a leader or a
community?' He said, 'Then separate yourself from all of those
factions, even if you have to eat the roots of trees until death
comes to you while you are in that state."' Recorded by al-Bukhari
and Muslim.
I call upon every Muslim to fear Allah in his speech and action
and to be wary of the trials and temptations. Also, be wary of
those who call to such things. Everyone must remain far away from
that which brings about Allah's anger or leads to it. Each must
take every precaution from those callers that the Prophet has
spoken about in this noble Hadith. May Allah protect us from the
evil of temptation and trials and its people. May Allah protect
for this Nation its religion and repel the evil of those callers
to falsehood. May Allah bless and guide all the Muslims to what
pleases Him and what is best for them and their success in both
this life and the Hereafter. He is the One who is in Control of
that and Able to do that. And may the peace and blessings of Allah
be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions.

The Myth of the 72 Virgins!
Muslim young men and women are bombing themselves to kill others.
Why? There is only one reason behind it, they are seeing reward in
heaven that is promised by Allah. Quran and Hadith both promised
heaven and many virgins in heaven for those who fight for the
cause of Allah (Jihaad) and kill others.
Hadith Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 80i says: -
Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad) - that, Allah's Apostle
said, "Allah welcomes two men with a smile; one of whom kills
the other and both of them enter Paradise. One fights in Allah's
Cause and gets killed. Later on Allah forgives the 'killer who
also get martyred (In Allah's Cause)."
Second part of Hadith Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 48:
-Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad)-
.....He said, "Paradise has one-hundred grades which Allah
has reserved for the Mujahidin who fight in His Cause, and the
distance between each of two grades is like the distance between
the Heaven and the Earth. So, when you ask Allah (for something),
ask for Al-firdaus which is the best and highest part of
Paradise." (i.e. The sub-narrator added, "I think the
Prophet also said, 'Above it (i.e.
Al-Firdaus) is the Throne of Beneficent (i.e. Allah), and from it
originate the rivers of Paradise.")
Mr. Zulfikar Khan writes in his article, "The x-rated
paradise of
Islam", "The paradise contains six important items:
beautiful
virgins, young boys, water, wine, fruits and wealth."
And further he says that, "Once a follower of Islam goes to
paradise he will get 72 Houris(beautiful virgins) and 28 young
pre-pubescent boys."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The X-RATED PARADISE OF ISLAM
In this article I shall describe the Islamic Paradise or Jannat
which was invented by Prophet Mohammed to bribe the Arabs into
committing hideous crimes by promising them materialistic things
which they couldn't obtain in the harsh desert. The paradise
contains six important items: beautiful virgins, young boys,
water, wine, fruits and wealth.
To prove my point I have taken verses from the Koran and quotes
from the Hadiths.
VIRGINS (HOURIS)
Mohammed knew that sex would sell very well among the group of his
lecherous followers who were motivated to fight battles by the
promise of sex slaves and booty. By constantly emphasizing to his
followers that they would get untouched virgins in Paradise,
Mohammed is clearly expressing his "high" opinion of the
institution of marriage and his fairness to women. Once the
followers go to heaven, they can conveniently ditch their wives
for the fresher and more pleasurable sexual encounters with 'Houris'
(beautiful virgins). Not only that, the poor wives who gave up
their virginity for the pleasure of their husbands do not get even
one Male Sex Bomb. But wait, Allah is all merciful! He gives the
wives the rare honour of watching their husbands deflower those 72
Houris (virgins) and 28 young pre-pubescent boys.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran 78:31
As for the righteous, they shall surely triumph. Theirs shall be
gardens and vineyards, and high- bosomed virgins for companions: a
truly overflowing cup.
Koran 37:40-48
...They will sit with bashful, dark-eyed virgins, as chaste as the
sheltered eggs of ostriches.
Koran 44:51-55
...Yes and We shall wed them to dark-eyed houris. (beautiful
virgins)
Koran 52:17-20
...They shall recline on couches ranged in rows. To dark-eyed
houris (virgins) we shall wed them...
Koran 55:56-57
In them will be bashful virgins neither man nor Jinn will have
touched before. Then which of the favours of your Lord will you
deny ?"
Koran 55:57-58
Virgins as fair as corals and rubies. Then which of the favours of
your Lord will you deny ?"
Koran 56:7-40
...We created the houris (the beautiful women) and made them
virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand.. "
Koran 55:70-77
"In each there shall be virgins chaste and fair... Dark eyed
virgins sheltered in their tents whom neither man nor Jin will
have touched before..
In the Hadiths, Mohammed goes one step further and expands the
promise of virgins to include a free sex market where there is no
limit of the number of sexual partners. Women and young boys are
on display as if in a fruit market where you can choose the
desired ripeness.
Quote from Hadiths
Al Hadis, [Bukhari] Vol. 4, p. 172, No. 34
Ali reported that the Apostle of Allah said, "There is in
Paradise a market wherein there will be no buying or selling, but
will consist of men and women. When a man desires a beauty, he
will have intercourse with them."
YOUNG BOYS
Homosexuality was and is widely practised in Islamic countries. To
please the homosexuals among his followers he promised them
pre-pubescent boys in Paradise. So after committing plunder, loot,
rape and murder in this life, the followers of Islam get
"rewarded" by untouched virginal youths who are fresh
like pearls.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran 52:24
Round about them will serve, to them, boys (handsome) as pearls
well-guarded.
Koran 56:17
Round about them will serve boys of perpetual freshness.
Koran 76:19
And round about them will serve boys of perpetual freshness: if
thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered pearls.
As mentioned in my previous article, famous poets in Arabia
glorified homosexuality. As an example I am including a poem in
'Perfumed Garden' by Abu Nuwas:
O the joy of sodomy!
So now be sodomites, you Arabs.
Turn not away from it--
therein is wondrous pleasure.
Take some coy lad with kiss-curls
twisting on his temple
and ride as he stands like some gazelle
standing to her mate.
A lad whom all can see girt with sword
and belt not like your whore who has
to go veiled.
Make for smooth-faced boys and do your
very best to mount them, for women are
the mounts of the devils
Need I say anything more after this colorful rendition by Abu
Nuwas ?
WATER
One of the major problems in the desert of Arabia was shortage of
pure water. Mohammed knew very well that to the Arabians, fresh
water was an item of luxury. So promising them abundant pure
water, river, fountains and springs in paradise would definitely
lure them to murder, loot and plunder people of other religions in
this life.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran 13:35
This is the paradise which the righteous have been promised: it is
watered by running streams..
Koran 3:198
As for those that fear their Lord, theirs shall be gardens watered
by running streams in which they will abide for ever, and a goodly
welcome from God...
Koran 3:136
...These shall be rewarded with forgiveness from their Lord and
with gardens watered by running streams, where they shall dwell
forever. Blessed is the reward of those who do good works..
Koran 15:45
The righteous (will be) amid gardens and fountains (of clear
flowing water)
Koran 22:23
As for those who have faith and who do good work, God will admit
them to gardens watered by running streams..
Koran 47:15
Here is a Parable Of the Garden which the righteous are promised:
In it are rivers of water incorruptible;
Koran 55:50-51
In them each will be two springs flowing free; Then which of the
favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran 55:66-67
In them will be Two Springs pouring forth water in continuous
abundance: Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran 44:51-55
As for the righteous, they shall be lodged in peace together
amidst gardens and fountains...
Koran 56:7-40
...They shall recline on couches raised on high in the shade of
thornless Lote trees and talhs; amidst gushing water...
WINE
Mohammed had to find more selling points besides virgins, young
boys and plenty of water. What good would be of Paradise without
rivers of wine for his followers? Wine was an extremely precious
commodity in the dry deserts of Arabia where it was rare to find
vineyards. Mohammed had a problem here- he had to include wine in
his 'Paradise-Package' but how could he include it in the list
when Allah had declared intoxicants as sinful. The only way to do
this was to somehow claim that the wine in the promised Paradise
was not intoxicating and therefore not sinful. Never mind the fact
that wine by nature contains alcohol which is intoxicating.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran 47:15
Here is a Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised.
In it are...rivers of wine...
Koran 37:40-48
But the true servants of God shall be well provided for,...they
shall be served with goblet filled at a gushing fountain, white
and delicious to those who drink it. It will neither dull their
senses nor befuddle them.
Koran 56:7-40
They shall recline on jeweled couches face to face, and there
shalt wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup
of purest wine:
Koran 83:23-26
The righteous will surely dwell in bliss. Reclining upon soft
couches they will gaze around them: and in their faces you shall
mark the glow of joy. They shall be given a pure wine to drink,
securely sealed, whose very dregs are musk...
FRUITS
So far Mohammed has presented a very appetizing picture of
Paradise, but then it struck him that sex is no fun on an empty
stomach. Besides that one needs lots of nutrition in order to have
the energy to perform with so many Houris and young boys. The
prophet was an expert on this subject having honoured every one of
his numerous wives and mistresses with a nightly visitation on one
single night. Besides the only fruits he had ever gotten to taste
in this life was some dates and dry pomegranates. So heaven had to
be furbished with an inexhaustible supply of every variety of
fruits.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran 13:35
This is the paradise which the righteous have been promised..
eternal are its fruits, and eternal are its shades..
Koran 37:40-48
But the true servants of God shall be well provided for, festing
on fruit and honoured in the gardens of delight...
Koran 43:68-73
...Such will be the garden of which ye are made heirs for your
deeds. Ye shall have therein abundance of fruit, from which ye
shall have satisfaction.
Koran 47:15
Here is a Parable Of the Garden which the righteous are promised:
...In it are rivers of milk of which the taste never changes;
rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink; And rivers of honey pure
and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits; And grace
from their Lord..
Koran 55:47-49
Containing all kinds of trees and delights. Then which of the
favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran 55:52-53
In them there will be fruits of every kind, two and two. Then
which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran 55:54-55
...The fruit of the gardens will be near and easy to reach. Then
which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran 55:68-69
In them will be Fruits, And dates and pomegranates: Then which of
the favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran 44:51-55
...Secure against all ills, they shall call for every kind of
fruit..
Koran 56:7-40
They shall recline on jeweled couches face to face, and there
shalt wait on them immortal youths with ...fruits of their own
choices and flesh of fowls that they relish..
Koran 76:13-21
...Reclining there upon soft couches, they shall feel neither the
scorching heat nor the biting cold. Trees will spread their shade
around them, and fruits will hang in clusters over them...
But the best was yet to come. The highlight of life in Islamic
Paradise is the fact that one doesn't have to go to the toilet.
All merciful Allah had miraculously provides a much better system
for getting rid of body waste. You simple sweat it out (probably
after all that sex or belch after consuming all that fruit and
wine)
Quote from the Hadiths:
Sahih Muslim Book 39, Number 6798, Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
I heard Allah's Apostle (pbuh) as saying that the inmates of
Paradise would eat and drink but would neither spit, nor pass
water, nor void excrement, nor suffer catarrh. It was said: Then,
what would happen with food? Thereupon he said: They would belch
and sweat (and it would be over with their food), and their sweat
would be that of musk and they would glorify and praise Allah as
easily as you breathe."
WEALTH
Mohammed wanted to ensure that his followers would not be obsessed
with 'worldly things' in this life. So he made sure that they have
plenty of worldly things to pursue in heaven.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran 22:23
As for those who have faith and who do good work, God will admit
them to gardens watered by running streams. They shall be decked
with pearls and bracelets of gold, and arrayed in garments of
silk.
Koran 43:68-73
Enter ye the Garden, Ye and your wives, in beauty and rejoicing.
To them will be passed round, dishes and goblets of gold: there
will be there all that soul could desire, all that the eyes could
delight in: and ye shall abide there in..
Koran 55:70-77
..They shall recline on green cushions and fine carpets. Then
which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran 44:51-55
As for the righteous, they shall be lodged in peace together
amidst gardens and fountains, arrayed in rich silks and fine
brocade...
Koran 55:54-55
They will recline on carpets, whose inner linings will be of rich
brocade...
Koran 56:7-40
They shall recline on jeweled couches..
Koran 76:13-21
..They shall be arrayed in garments of fine green silk and rich
brocade, and adorned with bracelets of silver..
Mohammed's promise of an Islamic Paradise that glittered with the
fulfillment of all sorts of worldly desires and sense enjoyment
was nothing but a sinister ploy to recruit those who had no hope
or expectation of ever getting these things in their present
lives. Knowing that they are assured of such a Paradise simply
because they follow Islam, Muslims can go around committing
murder, rape plunder and loot. It is the picture of this paradise
that has motivated Muslims over the centuries to cut down people
of other religions, to desecrate their places of worship and
mistreat them in the name of Allah. Even after death, the
spiritually deprived Prophet of Islam could not see beyond wine,
women and food, leave alone exploring spiritual heights of the
soul.

SEE HOW EVEN FANATIC MUSLIM
"SCHOLARS" ADMIT ISLAM IS FULL OF LIES!
SHAIKH MUHAMMAD NASIR-UD-DEEN AL-ALBAANI
THE FAMOUS MUHADDITH* AND FAQEEH* OF OUR CENTURY
FOUND OVER 5,000
"WEAK, SPURIOUS AND FABRICATED HADEETHS"
that "Islam absolves" today
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A brief biography of the Shaikh
Muhammad Nasir-ud-deen, better known as Shaikh Al-Albaani, was son
of a famous scholar Al-Hajj Nooh Ibn Aadam Najaatee. He was
recognized by the people of knowledge as a learned *Muhaddith
(scholar of Hadeeth) and a *Faqeeh (scholar of Fiqh) of our
century. Shaikh Al-Albaani was born in 1332 A.H. (C.E. 1914). At
the age of 86, in 1420 A.H. (C.E. 1999) he passed away from this
world. His loss is being felt by many respected Muslim leaders and
scholars. Some of his admirers were the Chief Muftee of Saudi
Arabia - Shaikh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn 'Abdillaah; the former Muftee of
Saudi Arabia - Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Ibraheem; Shaikh Muhammad Ibn
Saalih; Shaikh 'Abdullah Ibn Jibreen and others. One of his
repeatedly printed book on the Fiqh is 'Tahdheer-us-Saajid min
Ittikhaadh al-Quboor Masaajid' (Warning the Worshippers against
taking graves as a Place of Worship). His two books on Hadeeths 'Selselatu
Alahadeeth Alsaheha' (chain of authentic hadeeths) and 'Shelsalat
Alahadeeth Aldaeefah' (chain of weak hadeeths) are regarded as the
excellent reference books on the subject. These volumes were
produced by late Al-Albaani after going through the large amount
of Hadith books and verifying the authenticated chains of
narrations for thousands of Hadeeths and their indexes. Shaikh Al-Albaani
was in charge of the teaching of the subject of Mustalalhahul
Hadeeth (the science of Hadeeth) for three years at the Islamic
University of Madinah in Saudi Arabia. One of his better students
is Dr. Imam Muzammil Siddiqui of Southern California, who spoke to
me very highly of his teacher Al-Albaani, at the recent ISNA
Conference (2001) in Vancouver, B.C.
The Status of Sunnah in Islam
Subsequent to his lecture on the above subject at Doha, Qatar in
the month of Ramadhan in 1392 A.H., and at the request of his
friends and the listeners Shaikh Muhammad Nasir-ud-deen Al-Albaani
published several papers on this subject from Damascus in 1394
A.H. To read all the relevant papers please visit http://www.qss.org/articles/status.html
To read further on the life and works of the late Shaikh Al-Albaani,
please visit http://www.albani.org/
Here is an excerpt from one of these important papers, entitled
CAUTION
It is self-evident after this that I say:
The Sunnah which has an important bearing on Islamic Law is only
the Sunnah confirmed by scientific channels, and authentic chains
of narration's known to the learned in regard to hadeeths and the
background of the narrators.
It is not the one which is found in different works of Tafseers
(commentaries of The Qur'an) and Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), and
in different writings of longing, intimidation, advices, and
admonitions, etc...
They contain weak, spurious, and fabricated hadeeths, of which
Islam absolves, like the story of 'Harut and Marut,' and the story
of 'gharanik.' I have a special letter which makes it void and it
is printed (6). A major part of it is recorded in two huge books
namely "A chain of weak and fabricated hadeeths and their
evil impact on the community." Their number up to date have
reached approximately four thousand hadeeths (7).
It is obligatory on the learned, especially those who spread the
knowledge of fiqh and legal opinions among the public, that they
shouldn't dare to argue with hadeeth unless it is well-attested.
Books of jurisprudence, which they refer to, are normally filled
with traditions which are not well-attested, nor have any bases,
as is well-known to the learned.
I have begun an important project, and I think it will be of use
to those occupied with jurisprudence, and I will name it:
"Weak and Fabricated Hadeeths in the Major Jurisprudence 'fiqh'
Books," by which I mean:
Al-Hidayah, by Al-Marghinani, in Hanafi fiqh,
Al-Modawwanah, by Ibnil-Qasim, in Maliki fiqh,
Sharhul-wajeez, by Al-rafiee, in Shafiee fiqh,
Al-Mughni, by Ibn Quddamah, in Hanbali fiqh, and
Bidayatul Mujtahid, by Ibn Rushd-al-Andalusi, in comparative fiqh.
I regret that I did not get the opportunity to finish it, because
the journal "Al-Wa'e-al-Islami" of Kuwait which promised
to publish it, when perused it, didn't print it.
Although I missed this opportunity, perhaps I will succeed on
another occasion, Allah willing, to offer to my brethren occupied
with jurisprudence a precise learned course to help them to
facilitate their knowledge of the different categories of hadeeth
with reference to various sources from books on hadeeth, with an
explanation of its special nature and character and reliance on
them. Allah is the source of success.

Question:
It is said that the Jew Labeed ibn al-A’sam was able to able to
obtain something from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) [for the purpose of witchcraft] by the help of a
Jewish slave woman who used to enter the houses of the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Does this mean that
it is permissible to employ the services of Jews?
What is the meaning of the expulsion of the Jews as narrated in
the ahaadeeth? I hope that you could explain the presence of the
Jews in Madeenah, as it is narrated that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) expelled them from the city?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
THE PROPHET (PEACE AND BLESSINGS OF ALLAAH BE UPON HIM) COMMANDED
THAT THE JEWS BE EXPELLED FROM THE ARABIAN PENINSULA, AND SAID
THAT NO TWO RELIGIONS SHOULD CO-EXIST IN THE ARABIAN PENINSULA.
THIS IS A SHAR’I RULING. IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE FOR ANY MUSHRIK
TO REMAIN THERE. With regard to the presence of the Jews in
Madeenah, Khaybar, etc., this was before the command to expel
them, as is well known. The command to expel them came during the
final illness of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him), then ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) expelled
them after that.

BANKING:
Question #866: Working in a riba-based (interest-based) bank
Question:
Aslamoaliakum.
I have been offered a job at a Bank, and I am not sure whether I
should work there or not, because the bank makes money from
interest (Riba). Please tell me whether working there is allowed (Jaaiz),
or not.
jazaakum-Allah-khair.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
You will find the answer in the hadeeth of Jaabir, may Allaah be
pleased with him, who said: "The Messenger of Allaah cursed
the one who consumes riba (interest or usury), the one who gives
it, the one who writes it down and the one who witnesses it. He
said: 'All of them are equal in sin.'" (Reported by Muslim,
may Allaah have mercy on him, in his Saheeh, no. 1598)
Commenting on this hadeeth, al-Nawawi, may Allaah have mercy on
him, said: This is clearly a prohibition of the writing down or
witnessing of a contract between the two parties involved in a
riba-based deal. It also includes a prohibition of helping others
to commit wrong acts. And Allaah knows best.
It is inevitable that the employee in a riba-based bank will play
a part in riba dealings one way or another, even if he is just a
security guard. Maybe Allaah will help you, my brother, if you are
patient, to find halaal employment. (Interpretation of the
meaning) "… And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty
to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every
difficulty)." [al-Talaaq 65:2]

Question #2834: Working as a systems engineer in a riba-based bank
Question:
Assalam Allaikum,
My husband to be is getting a job in the computer department of a
bank in XXXXX as a System engineer. I wanted to know will it be
alright to accept this job. I'm very upset if this will be a 'Halal'
earning or not. Please do reply me.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah. If the bank you mention is based on riba
(interest, usury), then it is not permitted to work in it, because
of the hadeeth narrated by Jaabir, who said: "The Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the
one who consumes riba, the one who gives it, the one who writes it
down and the ones who witness it. He said: ‘They are all the
same.’" (Reported by Muslim in his Saheeh, 2995). We ask
Allaah to compensate you with something better.

Question #11349: He has been offered a job in a bank that deals in
riba (interest)
Question:
I am working in a software development house. Recently I was
offered by the company to go to XXX for on a one year contract. I
showed my willingness to them. But after few days I was told that
I will have to work for XXX Bank. I know its Haram to work for an
interest based organization like a bank. Someone told me that in
XXX there are some banks that do Islamic banking. I don’t have
much information about the bank. I have submitted some queries at
some places but so far I haven’t received any reply. Can you
please advise me whether I should work for XXX Bank or not as most
probably they would be dealing with Interest based banking and I
will be helping them in their job.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
Yes, it is as you say. The bank you mention does deal in riba
(interest). We advise you to keep away from working there. We ask
Allaah to give you strength and to help us and you adhere
steadfastly to His religion.

ACCOUNTING
Question #5334: Ruling on working as an accountant in a company
calculating the amount of riba, and he may not be able to find any
other work
Question:
If an accountant who works in a company, dealing with its budgets
etc., refuses to write down or record riba (interest), they will
throw him out and jobs are hard to find. Can this in any way be
regarded as being forced to do something, or does he have to leave
that job?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah. We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn
Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who replied as
follows: No, that is not a kind of being forced to do something.
Question: You mean that the threat of being sacked is not a kind
of being forced? Answer: It is not a kind of being forced, because
this is not the only kind of work that Allaah created. Question:
But from people’s experience, a man may look for work for a year
or two years, with debts piling up all the time, and never finding
any work in all that time. Could this be a reason for adopting a
lenient attitude and allowing people to take this kind of work?
Answer: No, this is not an excuse, because if it were, we could
say that the poor man who needs money to build a house or get
married would be allowed to deal with riba (and this is not the
case). And Allaah knows best.

WORKING IN PIZZA PARLORS
Question #1883: Working in a store which sells pork pizza
Question:
I just completed my master in computer science and am now looking
for a job. My Question is that during my study and now I am
working in a pizza store as a delivery person which is owned by a
'Qadiani', and he is selling pork pizza. Can I work in his store
because most of the pizza orders are pork pizza?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible for you to do work which involves carrying
pork and delivering it to the people who are going to eat it.
Because by doing so you are taking part and cooperating in sin.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Help you one another in al-birr and al-taqwa (virtue,
righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and
transgression…" [al-Maa’idah 5:2]
We ask Allaah to help you find acceptable work and a halaal
income, for He is the All-Hearing Who answers prayers.
"… And whoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He
will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He
will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine…"

WORKING FOR A SHOP THAT SELLS CHRISTMAS CARDS
Question #782: Selling greeting cards for Christian holidays
Question:
At work - I am a cashier, and there are Christmas cards with shirk
on them "Jesus is God - and Loves You" etc...
If a customer brings these to me, and I ring him up and put the
money in the register - am I a kaafir?
I hate the shirk, ......., ......, am I a kaafir?
Answer:
Al-hamdu lillaah
As long as you are a true believer, who believes in the oneness of
Allah, the Most Gracious, and who has not committed any act that
would expel you from the religion of Islam, and as long as you
hate ! shirk and (the blasphemy of) Christianity, then you are a
Muslim and not a kaafir. However, you must realize that it is
unacceptable for a Muslim to aid or abet the kuffaar
(non-believers) by any means or medium relating to the celebration
of their holiday occasions. This would encompass selling items
that are used in their celebrations. Sheikh ul-Islam Ahmad ibn
Abdul-Haleem ibn Taymiya (may Allaah have mercy upon him) in his
classic and monumental book entitled Iqtidaa’ Al-Siraat Al-Mustaqeem
Mukhalafat As-haab Al-Jaheem (In Pursuit of the Straight Path by
Contradicting the People of the Hellfire) said:
"As for a Muslim selling to them (the non-believers) items
that they use to celebrate their holiday occasions, such as food,
clothes, perfumes, etc., or offering such items as gifts, is a way
of helping them celebrate their "unlawful" holidays.
This idea is based on the fundamental principle that states that
it is unacceptable (for a Muslim) to sell the kuffaar grapes or
juice which they will use to produce wine or alcoholic beverages.
By the same token it is also unacceptable (for a Muslim) to sell
them weapons that will be used to fight Muslims.
He then presented an argument presented by Abdul-Malik bin Habeeb
(among the scholars of Al Malakiyya madh-hab) in which he said
"Don’t you see that it is forbidden for a Muslim to sell
Christians any item that benefits or concerns their holidays? Not
meat, nor food (eaten with bread), nor clothes, nor should they
even be lent an animal (to ride on). They should not be helped in
any way that relates to their holidays because this would be
considered a form of glorifying their shirk (blasphemy) and
supporting them in their apostasy and disbelief…." Al-Iqtidaa’
p. 229, 23, Dar Al-Ma’rifah printing, tahqeeq (verified and
edited by) Al-Faqiy.
We ask Allaah to help you be firmly established on the truth, and
to ward you away from wrong and falsehood, and to provide you with
good and righteous means of living.
May the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon our Prophet
Muhammad

WORKING AS BARBERS WHO SHAVE MEN'S BEARDS
Question #1190: Ruling on shaving another man’s beard
Question:
I am a committed Muslim and I have a beard. I own a barber shop
for men. This is my profession, and it means that I shave my
customers’ beards and use dryers to style their hair. What is
the Islamic ruling on this?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
It is forbidden for a Muslim to shave his own beard because of the
saheeh reports that indicate that this is forbidden. It is also
forbidden for another man to shave a person’s beard, because
this entails cooperating in sin, which is forbidden in the aayah
(interpretation of the meaning): "… do not help one another
in sin and transgression…" [al-Maa’idah 5:2]
It is permissible for you to comb and style men’s hair, and
apply oils and perfume to it, but it is not permissible for you to
do this for women, except for those who are your mahrams (close
relatives to whom marriage is forbidden).

DEVELOPING FILM AND COPYING PHOTOS OF PEOPLE
Question #3243: Earnings of one who makes images
Question:
please tell me if it is halal to have a job where the non-muslim
customers often come in and ask me to copy and manipulate images
for them (i.e pictures of people and animals sometimes)? I am
working this job assuming it to be halal until you tell me
otherwise (or anyone tells me with daleel). and if you tell me to
quit, would i be able to keep the job until i could find a
replacement?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah. In Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah al-‘Ilmiyyah
wa’l-Iftaa, it says the following: "Making images of
animate beings is haraam and earnings from doing this are haraam.
"When Allaah forbids a thing, He also forbids its price.
Making images of animate beings is forbidden, as it was reported
in the saheeh evidence. Therefore earnings from doing this are
unclean and it is not permissible to consume them. An exception is
made in the case of images that are necessary, such as photos for
ID documents and photos used to track down criminals and so on. It
is permissible to make these images and receive payment for doing
so. The one who is asking this question could work only with
pictures of things that are not animate, or he can try to look for
another job. Whoever gives up a thing for the sake of Allaah,
Allaah will compensate him with something better.

WORKING WHERE WINE OR LIQUOR OR PORK ARE SOLD
Question #681: Working in restaurants where wine is served
Question:
What is the ruling on one who works in a restaurant where haraam
drinks are sold, but he avoids preparing or carrying these drinks
to customers, but he continues to serve the customers if they ask
for food and drinks which are not haraam? Taking into account the
fact that I pass by people who are drinking them and I see those
who are serving them, as it is one place. What is the ruling on
the Muslim who deals in them for the purpose of attracting
customers? What is the ruling on serving pork to customers when
working in that restaurant, as a service and work for the purpose
of earning a living? What is the ruling on the owner of a
restaurant who has pork and earns money from it?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly: it is haraam to work and earn a living by helping people
to consume haraam things such as alcohol and pork. The payment for
that is haraam, because this is a kind of cooperating in sin and
transgression, and Allaah prohibited that when He said
(interpretation of the meaning):
"…but do not help one another in sin and transgression…"
[al-Maa’idah 5:2]
We advise you to keep away from working in this and similar
restaurants, because this will keep you from helping in anything
that Allaah has forbidden.
Secondly: it is forbidden for a Muslim to sell haraam things such
as pork and alcohol. It was reported that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"When Allaah forbids a thing, He also forbids its
price."
Provision and the attraction of customers are things that are in
the hand of Allaah, and they are not to be found in selling haraam
things. The Muslim must fear Allaah and follow His commands and
heed His prohibitions. "And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps
his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every
difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could
imagine" [al-Talaaq 65:2-3 – interpretation of the meaning]

ASK THE SULLAHS ABOUT THESE RULINGS
BANNING ALL CARD GAMES AND CHESS!
Then ask "Why does Iran have

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question #14095: Ruling on playing chess
Question:
I wana ask if chess(the type played now a days)is allowed in Islam
or not?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
"When chess distracts us from what we are obliged to do both
inwardly and outwardly, it is haraam according to the consensus of
the scholars – such as when it distracts from an obligatory duty
such as prayer or anything that is necessary in the interests of
oneself or one’s family, or enjoining what is good and
forbidding what is evil, or upholding ties of kinship or honouring
one’s parents, or any obligations connected to positions of
authority or leadership, etc. In this case it is haraam according
to the consensus of the scholars. Similarly, if it involves
anything that is haraam such as telling lies, swearing false
oaths, cheating, wrongdoing or helping in wrongdoing, or other
forbidden things, then it is haraam according to the consensus of
the Muslims." (Adapted from Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 32/218,
240). But if it does not distract us from our obligations or
involve anything that is haraam, then there is a difference of
scholarly opinion concerning the ruling. The majority of scholars
(Abu Haneefah, Maalik, Ahmad and some of the companions of al-Shaafa’i)
said that it is also haraam, basing that view on the evidence of
the Book of Allaah and the opinions of the Sahaabah.
The evidence of the Qur’aan is the words (interpretation of the
meaning):
"O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic
drinks), and gambling, and Al-Ansaab [stone altars set up for
sacrifices to idols etc], and Al-Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck
or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s)
handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order
that you may be successful.
Shaytaan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between
you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder
you from the remembrance of Allaah and from As-Salaah (the
prayer). So, will you not then abstain?"
[al-Maa’idah 5:90-91]
Al-Qurtubi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "This aayah
indicates that it is haraam to play dice or chess, whether that
involves gambling or not, because when Allaah forbade alcohol He
explained the reason for that, which is ‘Shaytaan (Satan) wants
only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants
(alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the
remembrance of Allaah and from As-Salaah (the prayer).’ So every
kind of game in which a little leads to a lot and stirs up enmity
and hatred between those who are devoted to it and prevents them
from remembering Allaah and praying, is like drinking alcohol,
which implies that it must be haraam like alcohol." (al-Jaami’
li Ahkaam al-Qur’aan, 6/291).
With regard to the views of the Sahaabah: It was narrated that ‘Ali
ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him) passed by some
people who were playing chess. He said, "What are these
images, to which you are devoted? [cf. al-Anbiya’ 21:52]"
Imaam Ahmad said: "The soundest comment on chess what that
which was said by ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him)."
‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) was
asked about chess and he said, "It is worse than dice."
"Dice" refers to what is used nowadays for playing
backgammon, which is played on a special table.
It was narrated in the ahaadeeth that it is haraam. Abu Dawood
(4938) narrated from Abu Moosa al-Ash’ari that the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Whoever plays dice has disobeyed Allaah and His
Messenger." (Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi
Dawood, 4129)
Muslim (2260) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever plays dice is like one who
has dipped his hand in the flesh and blood of a pig." Al-Nawawi
(may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "This hadeeth is quoted
as evidence by al-Shaafa’i and the majority of scholars to prove
that playing dice is haraam. The phrase ‘dipped his hand in the
flesh and blood of a pig’ refers to eating it, and this simile
is used to show that this is haraam because it is haraam to eat
that." What some of the scholars have said about the
prohibition of chess: Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him)
said: "Chess is like dice in that it is forbidden." (al-Mughni,
14/155), Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
"The evil consequences of chess are greater than the evil
consequences of dice. Everything that points to the prohibition of
dice points to the prohibition of chess even more so… This is
the view of Maalik and his companions, of Abu Haneefah and his
companions, of Ahmad and his companions, and the view of the
majority of the Taabi’een… It is not known that any of the
Sahaabah permitted it or played it. Allaah protected them from
that. Everything that is attributed to any of them and says that
he played it – such as Abu Hurayrah – is a fabrication and lie
against the Sahaabah and is rejected by anyone who knows how the
Sahaabah really were and by anyone who has sufficient knowledge to
examine the reports critically. How could the best generation and
the best of mankind after the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) permit playing something that
prevents people from remembering Allaah and from praying, and is
worse in this regard than alcohol when the player gets immersed in
it, as we see in real life? How could the Lawgiver forbid dice but
permit chess, which is many times worse?…" (al-Furoosiyah,
303, 305, 311).
Al-Dhahabi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "With regard
to chess, most of the scholars say that it is haraam to play it,
whether that is for money or not. If it is played for money then
it is indisputably gambling. Even if it is not played for money it
is still gambling and haraam, according to most of the scholars…
al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about playing
chess, is it forbidden or permissible? He (may Allaah have mercy
on him) replied that if it makes a person miss praying on time or
he plays for money, then it is haraam, otherwise it is makrooh
according to al-Shaafa’i and haraam according to others…"
(al-Kabaa’ir, 89-90).
For more information see Tahreem al-Nard wa’l-Shatranj wa’l-Malaahi
by al-Aajurri, ed. By Muhammad Sa’eed Idrees. And Allaah knows
best. We ask Allaah to help us to do that which He loves and which
pleases Him, and to help us to obey Him. May Allaah send blessings
and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.

Question #12567: Ruling on playing cards without gambling
Question:
Why is playing cards – I mean only playing, without gambling –
counted as haraam? We are not playing for money
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah. The Standing Committee was asked about
playing cards if that does not distract people from prayer and
there is no money involved. They answered: Playing cards is not
permitted, even if there is no money involved, because the problem
with that is that it distracts people from remembering Allaah (dhikr)
and from prayer. Even if they claim that this is not the case,
then it is still a means that may lead to gambling which is
expressly forbidden in the Qur’aan.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "Intoxicants
(all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al-Ansaab
(stone altars for sacrifices to false gods) and Al-Azlaam (arrows
for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s
(Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination)
in order that you may be successful"[al-Maa’idah 5:90]
These cards have an effect on society, for the bonds of a strong
society are achieved by means of two things: following the
commands of Allaah and heeding His prohibitions. A society
disintegrates when it neglects any of those duties or does any of
those things that are forbidden. These cards form one of the
factors which have an effect on society. They cause people to
neglect prayer in congregation, and they generate alienation,
breaking of ties, hatred and negligence through the committing of
haraam actions, and they make people too lazy to earn a living.
Fataawa Islamiyyah, 4/436
With regard to the history of these playing cards: No one really
knows who invented playing cards or when or where they were
invented. It has been said that they are of Chinese or Indian
origin, or otherwise. But historians are agreed that they came to
Europe from the Middle East in the latter part of the Middle Ages.
Experts also say that there is agreement that playing cards have
clearly evolved from that time until now. Playing cards made their
first appearance in Europe in Andalusia, and were brought to
northern Spain in the eleventh century CE. The traditional deck of
cards in Spain consisted of 40 cards, including the numbers 1 to
7, plus three characters, the highest of which was the
"ruler", followed by the "deputy", then the
"scribe" or "knight." In the sixteenth
century, the French changed the cards, replacing the
"ruler" with the king, the "deputy" with the
queen, and the "knight" with the jack. They also added
three new numbers, so that the deck now consisted of 52 cards. In
the seventeenth century, the Germans added a fourth character, the
joker.
We have quoted above the fatwa on playing with these cards. It may
also be added that playing cards is devoid of any of the goals of
recreational activities as required in Islam; it does not teach
any skill that is needed for jihad or any useful knowledge or
bring any social benefit or relaxation that will calm the nerves.
Rather it is a game that has nothing good in it; it causes
arguments and simply kills time. It is based on speculation and
chance, and it is like playing with dice, in that it leads to
disputes and fighting, and it is like alcohol and gambling.
Based on the above, it would not be farfetched to suggest that it
is haraam rather than makrooh, by analogy with dice, because both
are based on chance and both lead to arguments. The same view was
favoured by Shaykh Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, and it is the view of
our contemporary scholars, and of Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen
among the fuqaha’ of al-Najd, who transmitted it from his
shaykhs. This is based on the fact that it leads to enmity and
hatred, and because it is a great waste of time and it distracts
people from remembering Allaah (dhikr) and keeps them from
worshipping and obeying Him. This view is further supported by the
fact that one of the French kings issued orders banning people
from playing cards during the day, and stating that everyone who
went against this order was to be arrested and punished. That was
because the French people loved playing cards too much, to such an
extent that they were neglecting their work in order to play
cards. The punishment dictated by this French king was not just a
brief imprisonment, he also added a severe beating as a deterrent
to others. Yet despite these decrees and others, he did not
succeed in uprooting the habit of playing cards; the only result
was that the people started to play in secret rather than openly.

THE MANDATORY BEARD FETISH OF
ISLAM!
Beard
According to Quran and Sunnah
Hadith - Bukhari 7:781, Narrated Ibn 'Umar
Allah's Apostle said, "Cut the moustaches short and leave the
beard (as it is)."
Hadith - Muslim, Narrated Abu Hurayrah
The Messenger of Allah said: Trim closely the moustache, and grow
beard, and thus act against the fire-worshippers.
Hadith - Bukhari 9:651, Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri
The Prophet said, "There will emerge from the East some
people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not exceed their
throats and who will go out of (renounce) the religion (Islam) as
an arrow passes through the game, and they will never come back to
it unless the arrow, comes back to the middle of the bow (by
itself) (i.e., impossible)." The people asked, "What
will their signs be?" He said, "Their sign will be the
habit of shaving (of their beards)." (Fateh Al-Bari, Page
322, Vol. 17th)
Hadith - Muwatta 51.7
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Ata ibn
Yasar told him that the Messenger of Allah was in the mosque when
a man came in with disheveled hair and beard. The Messenger of
Allah motioned with his hand that he should be sent out to groom
his hair and beard. The man did so and then returned. The
Messenger of Allah said, "Isn't this better than that one of
you should come with his head disheveled, as if he were a shaytan?"

Action Items for the Muttaqun:
Trim the moustache
Male muslims must not trim the beard, i.e. leave all facial hair
to grow as Allah swt has designed it.
Believe that not shaving is what is best for the Muslim. Medical
reports reveal that the beard protects the tonsils from sunstroke.
Shaving of the beard also harms the skin.
If you've been shaving your face all these years, STOP NOW.
Brother, receive your blessing and wear the sign of the believers.

THE UNHOLY "PROPHET" WAS
A CHILD MOLESTER!
READ THE PROOFS From Sahih Bukhari!
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234:
Narrated Aisha: The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six
(years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of
Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down.
Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me
while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She
called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to
me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the
house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became
Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it.
Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some
Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and
a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared
me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly ALLAH'S APOSTLE CAME TO ME IN
THE FORENOON AND MY MOTHER HANDED ME OVER TO HIM, AND AT THAT TIME
I WAS A GIRL OF NINE YEARS OF AGE.
[NOTE: Here Aisha HERSELF is testifying in the Muslim
Hadith books that she was only NINE when the Unholy
"prophet" consummated his marriage to her!]
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236:
Narrated Hisham's father: Khadija died three years before the
Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so
and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of
age, and HE CONSUMMATED THAT MARRIAGE WHEN SHE WAS NINE YEARS OLD.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64:
Narrated 'Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six
years old and HE CONSUMMATED HIS MARRIAGE WHEN SHE WAS NINE YEARS
OLD, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his
death).
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 65:
Narrated 'Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six
years old and HE CONSUMMATED HIS MARRIAGE WHEN SHE WAS NINE YEARS
OLD. Hisham said: I have been informed that 'Aisha remained with
the Prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death)." what you
know of the Quran (by heart)'
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88:
Narrated 'Ursa: The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha
while she was six years old and CONSUMMATED HIS MARRIAGE WITH HER
WHILE SHE WAS NINE YEARS OLD and she remained with him for nine
years (i.e. till his death).

SEX WITH INFANTS AND ANIMALS OK,
SAYS KHOMENEI!
Excerpts from Ayatollah Khomeini Book
Ayatollah Khomeini:
"A MAN CAN HAVE SEXUAL PLEASURE FROM A CHILD AS YOUNG AS A
BABY. However he should not penetrate, sodomising the child is OK.
If the man penetrates and damages the child then he should be
responsible for her subsistence all her
life. This girl, however does not count as one of his four
permanent wives.The man will not be eligible to marry the girls
sister."

WOULD BEGIN MENSTRUATION AT HER HUSBAND'S HOUSE RATHER THAN HER
FATHER'S HOME. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have
a permanent place in heaven."

"A MAN CAN HAVE SEX WITH ANIMALS SUCH AS SHEEP¹S, COWS,

village, however selling the meat to the next door village should
be fine."

"If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, a ewe, or a
camel, their urine and their excrements become impure, and even
their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be
killed and as quickly as possible and burned."

ADULT WOMEN CANNOT TRAVEL WITHOUT
CHAPERONES!
Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 20, Number 192:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet said, "A woman should not travel for more than
three days except with a Dhi-Mahram (i.e. a male with whom she
cannot marry at all, e.g. her brother, father, grandfather, etc.)
or her own husband.)"
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 250:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
That he heard the Prophet saying, "It is not permissible for
a man to be alone with a woman, and no lady should travel except
with a Muhram (i.e. her husband or a person whom she cannot marry
in any case for ever; e.g. her father, brother, etc.)." Then
a man got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have enlisted in
the army for such-and-such Ghazwa and my wife is proceeding for
Hajj." Allah's Apostle said, "Go, and perform the Hajj
with your wife."
Malik, Book 54, Number 54.14.37:
Malik related to me from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi from Abu
Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "It is not halal for a woman who believes in
Allah and the Last Day to travel the distance of a day and night
without a man who is her mahram."

ISLAM’S IRRATIONAL "PICTURE
BAN"
"Take down that picture of
Martin Luther King.
"Remove all pictures of animals and people from your walls,
destroy any idol statues.
"If you have a job where your boss insists that you decorate,
such as is often required for teachers, decorate with ribbons,
colored cotton, and other creative decorations, but do not succumb
to hanging up images.
RULES FOR MUSLIMS TO LIVE BY!
"Take down that calendar with pictures of 'cute, cuddly'
animals on it.
"Allow your child to play with dolls if you so desire. Keep
in mind that the dolls during the Prophet's time were simple
"rag" or "sock" dolls without animated human
features or intricate 'life-like' detail.
"Do not hang up your child's pictures of animals, people, or
anything worshipable, and don't let the schools do it with your
children, either. Limit drawing to educational purposes. . .

WHY?
Because the angels of "Allah" are AFRAID of DOGS and
PICTURES!
SHAHIH BUKHARI:
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 447:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I stuffed for the Prophet a pillow decorated with pictures (of
animals) which looked like a Namruqa (i.e. a small cushion). He
came and stood among the people with excitement apparent on his
face. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is wrong?" He
said, "What is this pillow?" I said, "I have
prepared this pillow for you, so that you may recline on it."
He said, "DON'T YOU KNOW THAT ANGELS DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE
WHEREIN THERE ARE PICTURES; AND WHOEVER MAKES A PICTURE WILL BE
PUNISHED ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION and will be asked to give life
to (what he has created)?"
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 448:
Narrated Abu Talha:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying; "ANGELS (OF MERCY) DO NOT
ENTER A HOUSE WHEREIN THERE IS A DOG OR A PICTURE OF A LIVING
CREATURE (A HUMAN BEING OR AN ANIMAL)."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 449:
Narrated Busr bin Said:
That Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani narrated to him something in the
presence of Said bin 'Ubaidullah Al-Khaulani who was brought up in
the house of Maimuna the wife of the Prophet. Zaid narrated to
them that Abu Talha said that the Prophet said, "THE ANGELS
(OF MERCY) DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE WHEREIN THERE IS A PICTURE."
Busr said, "Later on Zaid bin Khalid fell ill and we called
on him. To our surprise we saw a curtain decorated with pictures
in his house. I said to Ubaidullah Al-Khaulani, "Didn't he
(i.e. Zaid) tell us about the (prohibition of) pictures?" He
said, "But he excepted the embroidery on garments. Didn't you
hear him?" I said, "No." He said, "Yes, he
did."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 450:
Narrated Salim's father:
Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but
Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, "WE, ANGELS, DO
NOT ENTER A HOUSE WHICH CONTAINS A PICTURE OR A DOG."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 539:
Narrated Abu Talha:
The Prophet said, "ANGELS DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE WITCH HAS
EITHER A DOG OR A PICTURE IN IT."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 338:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Abu Talha, a companion of Allah's Apostle and one of those who
fought at Badr together with Allah's Apostle told me that Allah's
Apostle said. "ANGELS DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS
A DOG OR A PICTURE" He meant the images of creatures that
have souls.
Volume 7, Book 72, Number 843:
Narrated Salim's father:
Once Gabriel promised to visit the Prophet but he delayed and the
Prophet got worried about that. At last he came out and found
Gabriel and complained to him of his grief (for his delay).
Gabriel said to him, "WE DO NOT ENTER A PLACE IN WHICH THERE
IS A PICTURE OR A DOG."
Volume 7, Book 72, Number 844:
Narrated 'Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet)
I bought a cushion having pictures on it. When Allah's Apostle saw
it, he stopped at the gate and did not enter. I noticed the signs
of hatred (for that) on his face! I said, "O Allah's Apostle!
I turn to Allah and His Apostle in repentance! What sin have I
committed?" He said, "What about this cushion?" I
said, 'I bought it for you to sit on and recline on." Allah's
Apostle said, "THE MAKERS OF THESE PICTURES WILL BE PUNISHED
(SEVERELY) ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION AND IT WILL BE SAID TO THEM,
'MAKE ALIVE WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED.'" HE ADDED, "ANGELS
DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE IN WHICH THERE ARE PICTURES."
SAHIH MUSLIM:
Book 024, Number 5246:
A'isha reported that Gabriel (peace be upon him) made a promise
with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to come at a
definite hour; that hour came but he did not visit him. And there
was in his hand (in the hand of Allah's Apostle) a staff. He threw
it from his hand and said: Never has Allah or His messengers
(angels) ever broken their promise. Then he cast a glance (and by
chance) found a puppy under his cot and said: 'A'isha, when did
this dog enter here? She said: BY Allah, I don't know He then
commanded and it was turned out. Then Gabriel came and Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to him: You promised me and
I waited for you. but you did not come, whereupon he said: It was
the dog in your house which prevented me (to come), for WE
(ANGELS) DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS A DOG OR A
PICTURE.
Book 024, Number 5248:
Maimuna reported that one morning Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) was silent with grief. Maimuna said: Allah's Messenger,
I find a change in your mood today. Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) said: Gabriel had promised me that he would meet me
tonight, but he did not meet me. By Allah, he never broke his
promises, and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) spent the
day in this sad (mood). Then it occurred to him that there had
been a puppy under their cot. He commanded and it was turned out.
He then took some water in his hand and sprinkled it at that
place. When it was evening Gabriel met him and he said to him: you
promised me that you would meet me the previous night. He said:
Yes, but WE DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS A DOG OR A
PICTURE. Then on that very morning he commanded the killing of the
dogs until he announced that the dog kept for the orchards should
also be killed, but he spared the dog meant for the protection of
extensive fields (or big gardens).
Book 024, Number 5249:
Abu Talha reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) having
said: ANGELS DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS A DOG OR A
PICTURE.
Book 024, Number 5250:
Abu Talha reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) as saying: ANGELS DO NOT ENTER THE HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS A
DOG OR A STATUE.
Book 024, Number 5252:
Abu Tilha, the Companion of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him), reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) having
said: Verily, ANGELS DO NOT ENTER THE HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS A
PICTURE. Busr reported: Zaid fell ill and we went to inquire after
his health and (found) that there was hanging at his door a
curtain with a picture on it. I said to 'Ubaidullah Khaulani who
had been under the patronage of Maimuna, the wife of Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him): Did not Zaid himself inform us
before about (the Holy Prophet's command pertaining to the
pictures), whereupon 'Ubaidullah said: Did you not hear when he
said:" Except the prints on the cloth"?
Book 024, Number 5253:
Abu Talha reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
said: ANGELS DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS A PICTURE.
Busr said: Zaid b. Khalid fell sick and we visited him to inquire
after his health. As we were in his house (we saw) a curtain
having pictures on it. I said to 'Ubaidullah Khaulani: Did he not
narrate to us (the Holy Prophet's command pertaining to pictures)?
Thereupon he said: He in fact did that (but he also said): Except
the prints upon the cloth. Did you not hear this? I said: No,
whereupon He said: He had in fact made a mention of this.
Book 024, Number 5254:
Abu Talha Ansari reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) as saying: ANGELS DO NOT ENTER THE HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS A
PICTURE OR PORTRAITS. I came to 'A'isha and said to her: This is a
news that I have received that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon
him) had said: ANGELS DO NOT ENTER THE HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS A
PICTURE OR A DOG, (and further added) whether she had heard
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) making a mention of it.
She said: No (I did not hear this myself), but I narrate to you
what I saw him doing. I bear testimony to the fact that he (the
Holy Prophet) set out for an expedition. I took a carpet and
screened the door with it. When he (the Holy Prophet) came back he
saw that carpet and I perceived signs of disapproval on his face.
He pulled it until it was torn or it was cut (into pieces) and he
said: God has not commanded us to clothe stones and clay. We cut
it (the curtain) and prepared two pillows out of it by stuffing
them with the fibre of date-palms and he (the Holy Prophet) did
not find fault with it.

CONTRADICTIONS IN QURAN'S
INHERITANCE LAW
(Koran 4:11)
Allah directs you as regards your children's
(Inheritance): to the male a portion equal to
that of two females: if only daughters, two or
more, Their share is two-thirds of the inheritance;
if only one, her, share is a half.
For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to
each, if the deceased left children; if no
children, and the parents are the heirs, the
mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers
the mother has a sixth...
(Koran 4:12)
In what your wives leave, your share is a half,
if they leave no child; but if they leave a child,
ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and
debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth,
If ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they
get an eighth; after payment.
(Koran 4:176)
...If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister
but no child, she shall have half the inheritance:
If a woman dies and leaves no child, her brother
takes her inheritance: If there are two sisters,
they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance.
If there are brothers and sisters, the male takes
twice the share of the female.
Let us suppose that a man dies and leaves behind three
daughters, two parents and his wife.
According to the verses stated above the three daughters together
will receive 2/3 of the share, the parents will receive 1/3 of the
share and the wife will receive 1/8 of the share.
Do the math once again: 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/8 = 9/8 = 1.125.
The distribution of the property adds up to more than the
available property! How
can this distribution be possible?
Once again Mohammed displays his inability to add. Well, if a
person can't add integers then it is improbable that he would know
how to add fractions!
Another example: A man dies and leaves behind his mother, his wife
and two sisters.
According to what Mohammed has stated in Koran 4:11-12 and 4:176
the mother will receive 1/3 of the property, the wife will receive
1/4 of the property and the sisters will receive 2/3 of the
property.
Let us add up the fractions again: 1/3 + 2/3 + 1/4 = 5/4 = 1.25
and once again it adds up to more than the available property!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ALLAH'S DAY EQUALS 1,000 YEARS OR
50,000 YEARS?
(Koran 22:47)
...A day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your
reckoning.
(Koran 32:5)
...To Him, on a Day, The space whereof will be a thousands
years of your reckoning.
In the above verses it states clearly that a day of Allah is equal
to a 1000 earth years. However, there is a contradiction in the
verse stated below.
(Koran 70:4)
The angels and the Spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure
whereof is fifty thousand years.
So, which one is it?
Is the day of Allah equal to 1,000 earth years
or 50,000 earth years?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HOW MANY GARDENS OF PARADISE?
(Koran 39:73)
And those who feared their Lord will be led to THE Garden...
(Koran 41:30)
...But receive the glad tidings of THE Garden that which ye were
promised!
(Koran 57:21)
Be ye foremost in seeking forgiveness from your Lord, and A
Garden...
(Koran 79:41)
Their abode will be THE Garden.
In the above verses Mohammed refers to only ONE Garden of
Paradise, but in the verses below he contradicts himself once
again by saying that there are MANY Gardens of paradise.
(Koran 18:31)
For them will be GARDENS of Eternity...
(Koran 22:23)
Allah will admit those who believe and work righteous deeds.
To GARDENS beneath which rivers flow...
(Koran 35:33)
GARDENS of Eternity will they Enter...
(Koran 78:32)
GARDENS enclosed, and Grapevines;
It looks like Mohammed could not make up his mind about the
number of Gardens of Eternity in heaven.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HOW MANY GROUPS OF PEOPLE DURING
THE LAST JUDGEMENT?
(Koran 56:7)
And ye shall be sorted out into THREE classes.
The contradictory verses:
(Koran 90:18-19)
Such are the Companions of the right hand.
But those who reject our signs, they are
the companions of the left hand.
(Koran 99:6-8)
On the Day will men Proceed in companies sorted
out, to be shown the deeds that they had done.
Then shall anyone has done an ounce of good,
see it! And anyone who Has done an ounce of evil,
shall see it.
At first, Mohammed says that during the Last Judgement people
will be divided into 3 groups.
But in the later verses he seems to have changed his mind to 2
groups -- the group that has done evil and the group that has done
good.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
WHO TAKES THE SOULS AFTER DEATH?
Sometimes Mohammed states (1) that THE Angel of Death takes the
souls after death and (2) at another he says that there are ANGELS
who take the souls at the time of death and (3) at yet another
time Mohammed states that it is in
fact Allah who takes the souls.
The relevant verses are listed below.
(Koran 32:11)
THE ANGEL of death, put in charge of you will take your souls
then shall ye be brought back to your Lord.
(Koran 47:27)
But how will it be when the ANGELS take their souls at death,
and smite their faces and their backs?
(Koran 39:42)
It is Allah that takes the souls of men at death; and those that
die not He takes during their sleep...
THREE DIFFERENT STORIES!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DURING THE BIRTH OF JESUS HOW MANY
ANGELS SPOKE TO MARY?
According to the Koran how many angels spoke to the virgin Mary at
the time of the annunciation of Jesus's birth?
Well, Mohammed was no too sure about this, so he said (1) that
there were several angels in one verse and (2) in the
other he states that there was only one.
(Koran 3:42)
Behold! the ANGELS said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee...
(Koran 3:45)
Behold! the ANGELS said: "O! Mary! Allah giveth thee...
CONTRADICTS:
(Koran 19:17)
...Then We sent to her (Mary) Our ANGEL...

Question #9459: The Jews’ idea that ‘Uzayr is "a son of

What does this beginning part of Surah Taubah 9:30 refer to?
"The Jews call 'Uzair (Ezra) a son of Allah..." Please

When Allaah issued the command to fight the Jews and
Christians, in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
"FIGHT AGAINST THOSE WHO (1) BELIEVE NOT IN ALLAAH, (2) NOR
IN THE LAST DAY, (3) NOR FORBID THAT WHICH HAS BEEN FORBIDDEN BY
ALLAAH AND HIS MESSENGER (MUHAMMAD), (4) AND THOSE WHO ACKNOWLEDGE
NOT THE RELIGION OF TRUTH (I.E. ISLAM) AMONG THE PEOPLE OF THE
