***** It is permissible to eat meat slaughtered by the People of the Book قال ابن قدامة رحمه الله: ( أجمع أهل العلم على إباحة ذبائح أهل الكتاب ؛ لقول الله تعالى : ( وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَكُمْ ) المائدة/5 ؛ يعني : ذبائحهم . قال البخاري : قال ابن عباس : طعامهم ذبائحهم . ) (المغني 13/293 .) Ibn Qudaamah said: The scholars are unanimously agreed that it is permissible to eat meat slaughtered by the People of the Book, because Allah says: وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَكُمْ “The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you” [al-Maa'idah 5:5]. Al-Bukhaari said: Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “Their food” means meat slaughtered by them. Al-Mughni, 13/293.

***** No moving living creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allah. He knows its dwelling place and its deposit in the uterus, grave, etc.. all is recorded in a Clear Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz - the Book of Decrees with Allah. Allah says, وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّـهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register. [Surah Huud 11:6]

***** Surely The Qur’an Will Intercede For Its Companions On The Day Of Resurrection It is proven in the saheeh Sunnah that the Qur’an will intercede for its companions on the Day of Resurrection. Abu Umaamah al-Baahili (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَفِيعًا لِأَصْحَابِهِ “Read the Qur’an, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection interceding for its companions.” [Muslim (804)] ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: الصِّيَامُ وَالْقُرْآنُ يَشْفَعَانِ لِلْعَبْدِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، يَقُولُ الصِّيَامُ : أَيْ رَبِّ مَنَعْتُهُ الطَّعَامَ وَالشَّهَوَاتِ بِالنَّهَارِ فَشَفِّعْنِي فِيهِ . وَيَقُولُ الْقُرْآنُ : مَنَعْتُهُ النَّوْمَ بِاللَّيْلِ فَشَفِّعْنِي فِيهِ . قَالَ : فَيُشَفَّعَانِ “Fasting and the Qur’an will intercede for a p...

Allaah has no need of them so do not sit with them.’” [Al-Haakim reported in al-Mustadrak (4/359) . This is a saheeh hadeeth. Al-Dhahabi said in al-Talkhees that it is saheeh.”] This hadeeth states that this blameworthy deed is disliked, becaus...

***** NO GOSSIP MONGER WILL ENTER PARADISE The motive in spreading gossip is either ill will towards the person of whom one speaks or to show love to the person to whom one speaks, or to indulge in unnecessary talk and falsehood. All of that is haraam. There is a great deal of evidence in the Quran and Sunnah (prophetic traditions) to show that gossip is haraam (impermissible), such as the verses in which Allah says: وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّهِينٍ هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّاءٍ بِنَمِيمٍ “And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer. [And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -” [Al-Qalam 68:10,11] وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ “Woe to every scorner and mocker” [Al-Humazah 104:1] It was narrated that Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: لا يدخل الجنة نمَّام “No gossipmonger will enter Paradise” [Agreed upon Hadith by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. And it was narrated from Ibn M...

*****Be Careful What Contradicts To The Divine Faith: n The form of feelings in the heart n The form of actions of the heart, n Spoken words on the tongue n And outward physical actions The form of feelings in the heart, such as hating Allaah or His signs, or His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him); this contradicts love and faith which support the actions of the heart. The form of spoken words, such as insulting Allaah, or it may be an outward action, such as prostrating to idols, or offering sacrifices to someone other than Allaah. Just as faith takes the form of actions of the heart, words on the tongue and outward physical actions, so too kufr may take the form of actions of the heart, words on the tongue and outward physical actions. [Ref. A’laam al-Sunnah al-Manshoorah, 177; Nawaaqid al-Eemaan al-Qawliyyah wa’l-‘Amaliyyah by Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez Aal ‘Abd al-Lateef, 36-46; Dawaabit al-Takfeer by Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah al-Qarani, 183, 196].

***** Warning Against Forgetting The Qur'an https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode • Recite The Qur’an Regularly Because If One Fails To Do So, He Tends To Forget It Quickly • In The Absence Of Regular Recitation, One Is Bound To Forget It More Quickly Than A Camel Breaks Loose Bound With The Prophet (swalla-Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, تعاهدوا هَذَا القُرْآنَ ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَهُوَ أشَدُّ تَفَلُّتاً مِنَ الإبلِ فِي عُقُلِهَا "To safeguard the Qur'an reciting it regularly. By the One in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, it escapes from memory faster than a camel does from its tying ropes.'' [Al-Bukhari 5033 (6/238) and Muslim 791 (2/192) from the narration of Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him)]. To safeguard the Qur'an means to recite it regularly, because if one fails to do so, he tends to forget it quickly. In the absence of regular recitation, one is bound to forget it more quickly than a cam...

If he remains vigilant, he will retain it; and if he neglects it, it will go away.'' [Al-Bukhari 5031 (6/237-238) and Muslim 789 (2/190) from the narration of Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them)]. The person who memorizes the entire Qur'an or a portion of it, if ...

***** What Is Piety And Sin In Islam? https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode • Courteous Behaviour And All Forms Of Moral Behaviour That Are Counted As Virtues In Islam • A Refined Mind Cultivates Good Habits, Performs Good Deeds, And Shuns All That Is Bad And Corrupt • All That Is Bad And Vicious Is Considered By Islam As Sinful. • Man Should Feel Scruples In Committing Sins And One Does Not Like Others Being Informed About It • Human Nature Leads Man To Correct Conclusions And Keeps Him Away From Evils, Provided It Has Not Been Deformed By The Environment And Bad Company Messenger of Allah (swalla-Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) said about virtue and sin, البِرُّ : حُسنُ الخُلقِ ، والإثمُ : مَا حاك في صدرِك ، وكَرِهْتَ أن يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ "Virtue (and Piety) is noble behavior (and good manner) , and sin is that which creates doubt and you do not like people to know about it.''

***** • What Is The Chief Difference Between Islam, Unbelief, And Paganism? https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (swalla-Allaahu alayhi wa-sallam) said, (( إنَّ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَبَيْنَ الشِّرْكِ والكفر ، تَرْكَ الصَّلاَةِ )) "Between a man and unbelief and paganism is the abandonment of Salaat (five-times daily obligatory prayer”. [Reported by Saheeh Muslim, Hadith # 82, 134 (1/61-62)] He who will be having the quality of Islam and will be particular in performing Salaat (five-time daily obligatory prayer) regularly, will raise a wall between himself and unbelief. He who does not perform Salaat after coming to the fold of Islam, does not have a frontier which separates him from infidelity. Leaving Salaat is like demolishing the wall that separates Islam from unbelief (Kufr). This makes the importance of Salaat in Islam abundantly clear. Buraidah (May Allah be pleased with him) reporte...

***** • Heart’s Purity Or Impurity Directly Affects The Human Conduct In A Good Or Bad Way! • To Cleanse The Heart Of All Wiles And Impurities With Sound Faith And Consciousness Of Allah! https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode Al-Nu`man bin Bashir (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (swalla-Allaahu alayhi wa-sallam) said, ألاَ وَإنَّ فِي الجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَت صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ ، ألاَ وَهِيَ القَلْبُ "Verily, there is a piece of  flesh in the body, if it is healthy, the whole body is healthy, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Verily, it is the heart.'' [Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Hadith # 52 (1/20) and Saheeh Muslim, Hadith # 1599 (5/50)]. An important point underlying this Hadith concerns the heart. Its purity or impurity directly affects the human conduct in a good or bad way. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary to cleanse the heart of all wiles and impuri...

***** The variety and greatness of these created things, the perfect way in which they are formed, the way in which they are maintained and controlled, all indicate that the Creator is One and that He does as He wills and rules and decides as He wants: https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode Allah says, اللَّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَكِيلٌ “Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakeel (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian) over all things” [al-Zumar 39:62

***** It is undoubted and undeniable fact that this universe has a Creator and that this dominion has a Sovereign and that behind these forms is One Who gives them shape: https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode Allah says, هُوَ اللَّهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ لَهُ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ “He is Allaah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names” [al-Hashr 59:24

***** The soundness of the heavens and the earth, the order of the universe, the harmony among created things, all indicate that the Creator is One, with no partner or associate: https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode Allah says, لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَا آلِهَةٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَا فَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ “Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth) aalihah (gods) besides Allaah, then verily, both would have been ruined. Glorified be Allaah, the Lord of the Throne, (High is He) above all that (evil) they associate with Him!” [al-Anbiya’ 21:22

***** These great created things either created themselves – which is impossible – or man created himself then created them – which is also impossible: https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode Allah says, أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ أَمْ خَلَقُوا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ “Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators? Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief” [al-Toor 52:35-36  

***** Reason, Revelation and the original state of man (fitrah) all indicate that this universe has One Who brought it into being, that these created things have a Creator Who is Ever-Living and Eternal, All-Knowing and All-Aware, Powerful and Almighty, Kind and Most Merciful. https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode Allah has the Most Beautiful Names and Sublime Attributes and He knows all things. Nothing is beyond His control, and there is nothing like unto Him: Allah says, وَإِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ لَّا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ الرَّحِيمُ “And your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah (God — Allaah), Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (there is none who has the right to be worshipped but He), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” [al-Baqarah 2:163]

***** In the Qur'an, there is healing for men’s hearts, light and illumination for the blind. https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode   Allah says: ( وننزل من القرءان ما هو شفاء ورحمة للمؤمنين ولا يزيد الظالمين إلا خساراً ) “And We send down of the Qur’aan that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism and act on it), and it increases the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers) nothing but loss” [al-Isra’ 17:82]

***** As for the disbeliever and those who wrong themselves thereby, their hearing the Qur’an only makes them further away (from truth) and increases them in disbelief. The problem comes from the disbeliever, not from the Qur’an. https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode   Allah says : ( قل هو للذين آمنوا هدى وشفاء والذين لا يؤمنون في آذانهم وقر وهو عليهم عمى أولئك يُنادون من مكان بعيد ) “Say: It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ear s, and it (the Qur’an) is blindness for them. They are those who are called from a place far away (so they neither listen nor understand)” [Fussilat 41:44] ( وإذا ما أنزلت سورة فمنهم من يقول أيكم زادته هذه إيمانا فأما الذين آمنوا فزادتهم إيمانا وهم يستبشرون . وأما الذين في قلوبهم مرض فزادتهم رجسا إلى رجسهم وماتوا وهم كافرون ) “And whenever there comes down a Soorah, some of them (hypocrites) say: ‘Which of you has had his Faith increased by it?’ A...

***** Imam Ibn Hazm said concerning the Qur'an: https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode Because the proof and the miracles indicate that the Qur’aan is the covenant of Allaah with us, we must believe in it and act in accordance with it. It has come down to us through generations of Muslims narrating it to those who came after them, which leaves no room for doubt that the Qur’aan is the one which is written in the Mus-hafs which we find everywhere. We have to follow its teachings, for it is our reference-point, beca use we read in it the words (interpretation of the meaning): ( وما من دآبة في الأرض ولا طائر يطير بجناحيه إلا أمم أمثالكم ما فرطنا في الكتاب من شيء ثم إلى ربهم يحشرون ) “There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered” [al-An’aam 6:38] Whatever commands and prohibitions are in the Qur’aan, ...

***** Return To The Quran And To The Authentic Sunnah, In Case Of Dispute https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode   Real obedience to Allah is to strictly follow what was sent down to His Messenger (swalla-Allaahu alayhi wa-sallam). If there is no obedience to him, there is also no obedience to Allah at all. Therefore, in case of dispute or disagreement, reliance has to be placed on Qur’an and authentic Sunnah, words, deeds, decision, tradition, and way of life of the Prophet Muhammad (swalla-Allaahu alayhi wa-sallam ) alone. Allah said in the Qur'an: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ ۖ فَإِن تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا “O you have believed! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you. If you dispute in anything among yourselves, then refer it to ...

When he has finished repeating the entire adhaan, he should send prayers and blessings on the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

***** What Are The Months of Hajj In Which Performing Umrah Is Permissible? https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode   Shawwaal, Dhu’l-Qi’dah and Dhu’l-Hijjah are the known as the months of Hajj in the Hijri lunar Islamic calandar. It is permissible to perform ‘Umrah during the months of Hajj, and there is no difference of opinion amongst the scholars concerning that. And it makes no difference whether you intend to do Hajj in the same year or not. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did ‘Umrah four times, all of which were in the month of Dhu’l-Qi’dah, which is one of the months of Hajj, which are Shawwaal, Dhu’l-Qi’dah and Dhu’l-Hijjah. And he did not do Hajj except along with his last ‘Umrah, in the Farewell Pilgrimage. Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اعتمر أربع عُمر كلهن في ذي القعدة إلا التي مع حجته :عمرة من الحديبية أو زمن الحديبية في ذي القعدة ، وعمرة من العام المقبل في ذي القعدة ،...

***** The jinn, like humans, have no knowledge of the unseen ( الغيب ):   Allah says:   فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَوْتَ مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَوْتِهِ إِلَّا دَابَّةُ الْأَرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنسَأَتَهُ ۖ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الْجِنُّ أَن لَّوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ الْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُوا فِي الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ   “And when We decreed for Solomon death, nothing indicated to the jinn his death except a creature (a little worm) of the earth which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his stick. But when he fell down, it became clear to the jinn that if they had known the unseen (ghaib), they would not have remained in humiliating punishment.   [Saba’ 34:14]

***** Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about something, his prayers will not accepted for forty days. https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode   ***** Whoever has intercourse with a menstruating woman or with a woman in her back passage, or goes to a fortune-teller and believes what he says, has disbelieved in that which Allah revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode   The one who claims to know where stolen things are and who the thieves are by means of secret things that the people do not know is one of two things: a fortune-teller to whom the devils come, or a liar who makes the people think that he knows these things in order to consume their wealth unlawfully. Whatever the case, it is not permissible to go to these people and to ask them or believe them, no matter how righteous they may appear to be, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sai...

***** Forgetting What is Memorized from the Qur’an Is A Blameworthy Action https://www.facebook.com/Sidheeque.MA.Veliankode Undoubtedly studying the Qur’an, reciting it and memorising it are among the best of righteous deeds. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) encouraged us to read Qur’an regularly lest we forget it, which means constantly reviewing what one has memorised and repeatedly reciting it. Similarly, forgetting Qur’an is a blameworthy action, because it involves falling short, turning away from the Book of Allah and abandoning it. Forgetting the Qur'an which a person has already memorized is not a crime that punishable in the day of Judgement. There is no authentic Hadith to prove any such punishment. However, a true Muslim should try maximum efforts to memorize, revise, review, and re-memorize the Qur'an frequently, so that no one will be forgotten what he/she memorized from the Qur'an. It is a great bless...
