Is this the correct way to write it?

I would like to tell him in the Algerian dialect but would appreciate if answers could include pronounciation and also written in Arabic font too so I could copy and paste (I can't use arabic on my keyboard)

Thanks so much!!

My own personal view is that even in the horrific case of rape, abortion is not acceptable. How can it be justified, killing an innocent life that has no control over the circumstances in which it was created?

I understand it is a terrible ordeal for the mother and that she may never be able to bond with that child, but this is not enough to justify abortion. I believe if the mother really is unable to bond with the child then it is kinder to give the child up for adoption rather than terminating it.

Do you agree, disagree? Why?

In fact, there are no numbers mentioned at all, so where does this figure that people keep quoting come from?

It is not in the Qur'an, perhaps it is in a hadith? Can anyone please give proof.

Also, would anyone like to give proof on the fact that a Suicide Bomber is considered a Martyr? If you can...... then I'll give you absolute proof to the contrary:

According to the following fatwa, the sighting of the moon by one Muslim is sufficient for the Imams to command the people to fast.

The moon was sighted in Mecca on the 12th night of September, yet some Muslims (Pakistan & India for example) have ignored this and will begin the fast on the 14th. Why? What ever happened to unity??

"And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah and be not divided among yourselves..." ( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #103)

The witnessing of the moon by a single man

'Abdullaah bin Ahmad bin Hanbal said:

I asked my father concerning the sighting of the moon, if the sighting of it is done so by a single man?

He said:

((The Imaam should command the people with fasting))

That's a bit backward.

The Taliban took them hostage... the Taliban killed some of them.... yet when they were finally released they apologised to their government for causing them trouble??

That's a bit messed up..... it's not like they asked to be taken hostage ...... what is the South Korean Gov'ts way of thinking, to make those hostages feel that they were at fault??

Freed S Korean hostages 'sorry'

Abu Sa'eed al-Khudree (radhi-yallaahu 'anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:

((There is not a servant who fasts a day in the way of Allaah, except that Allaah removes his face from the Fire by the distance of seventy years because of that)).

al-Bukhaaree - Volume 6, Page 35, Muslim - Number 1153

'Uthmaan ibn Abil-'Aas (radhi-yallaahu 'anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:

((Fasting is a shield with which a servant protects himself from the Fire)).

Ahmad - Volume 3, Pages 241 and 296

Abu Umaamah (radhi-yallaahu 'anhu) said:

((O Messenger of Allaah tell me of an action by which I may enter Paradise?))

He (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:

((Take to fasting, there is nothing like it)).

Yes, it is true. Veiling is commanded in the Qur'an for the Wives of the Prophet (sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam), but is also commanded for his daughters AND the believing women. i.e. Muslim women.

"O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful."

( سورة الأحزاب , Al-Ahzab, Chapter #33, Verse #59)

So where is their arguement now that the evidence is presented directly??

Serious answers please. Any abuse will be given a 'thumbs down' AND reported.

Why do so many people assume Muslim women are oppressed because they wear the Islamic Veil (Hijaab)?

If a Catholic Nun chooses to wear a habit, she is considered pious and devoting herself to God.... but a Muslim woman chooses to wear hijaab and she is considered oppressed.

Why?

The Virgin Mary wore a veil, reverred in both Christianity and Islam as a most pious woman, yet she was not oppressed. But if a Muslim woman chooses to wear hijaab, she is considered oppressed.

Why?

Serious answers only please.

WARNING: Abusive answers will be given a 'thumbs down' AND reported.

Al-Li`an (the oath of condemnation)

Sura An-Nur 24:6-10

وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ إِلَّا أَنفُسُهُمْ فَشَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ أَرْبَعُ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

And for those who accuse their wives, but have no witnesses except themselves, let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies (i.e. testifies four times) by Allah that he is one of those who speak the truth.

وَالْخَامِسَةُ أَنَّ لَعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ

And the fifth (testimony) (should be) the invoking of the Curse of Allah on him if he be of those who tell a lie (against her).

وَيَدْرَأُ عَنْهَا الْعَذَابَ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ

But it shall avert the punishment (of stoning to death) from her, if she bears witness four times by Allah, that he (her husband) is telling a lie.

وَالْخَامِسَةَ أَنَّ غَضَبَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

And the fifth (testimony) should be that the Wrath of Allah be upon her if he (her husband) speaks the truth.

وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ حَكِيمٌ

And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you (He would have hastened the punishment upon you)! And that Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, the All-Wise.

This guy admitted 24 counts of indecent assault and gross indecency on 13 victims aged 18 months and older over a period of 14 years ..... and he is spared a jail sentence because he's a Jehovah's Witness!!??

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/6960166...

If the sentence, or rather, lack of sentence has nothing to do with his religion, then why did they feel they had to mention he was a Jehovah's Witness in the first place. In other news reports, they claim he is a "changed man" due to his religion.

So if his faith is enough to let him off doing jail time, then what about those of other faiths, i.e Catholics associated with the IRA, Muslims associated with terrorism and so on, shouldn't they all be spared jail since they all have faith??

Come on, where's the justice or sense in that??

This should make us think...

The author of this article "Observations on Hijab" is unknown.

It is however, thought to be written by a brother.

Funny as it is, there are a number of lessons to be learnt...

It has been my personal observation that some Muslim girls and women do not realise the significance of hijab. Hijab is Arabic for protection and cover. Some people put a lot of effort into their hijab, yet it serves no purpose. I am referring to the pointless hijab that some girls wear.

The first pointless hijab is referred to as the headband hijab. It is a band of fabric approximately 4 inches wide. It covers the back of the head and allows all the hair to be exposed. It doesn't serve much in terms of modesty, but at least it comes in handy in case of an unexpected tennis match!

The second pointless hijab is the dupatta, also known as the Saran wrap hijab. It covers all the hair, but it is totally transparent. Again it doesn't serve much in terms of modesty, but it keeps the hair nice and fresh!

The third type of hijab is known as the Mickey Mouse Hijab. It is when a girl wears a black scarf and tucks it behind her ear, so that her ears stick out!

We now move on to my favourites - the yo-yo hijabs:

The first yo-yo hijab is the scarf that keeps falling down and needs to be constantly pulled back up.... up, down, up, down, just like a yo-yo!

The second yo-yo hijab is also referred to as the convertibe hijab. This type of hijab is predominant at any type of social event, i.e. an Aqeeqah, Bismillah party, Ameen party, wedding, etc. This is when an Imam or Qari comes up to the microphone and starts to recite Qur'an. At this point, all the convertible hijabs come up... until he says "SadaqAllahu Atheem." I'm not sure, but apparently in some cultures that translates to "OK sisters, you may take off your scarves."

I'm sure this may seem odd, but what's even funnier is when people do not anticipate the recitation of Qur'an at a social event, and are forced to be creative and use accessories such as a purse to cover one's hair. I was surprized to see a woman hold her purse over her head as "hijab"... as if the multitudes of men surrounding her are not a good enough reason to wear hijab, but some guy reciting du'a compels her to hold a purse over her head. Her friends were more creative... one friend used her dinner napkin. I was also laughing when I saw the communal hijab- two or more girls dropped under one dinner napkin during the recitation of Qur'an. Her other friend was still more creative. She used her coffee saucer on the back of her head. I wasn't sure of it was hijab or Yamaka. I didn't know if she was a Muslim or a Jew. I felt like going up to her and saying "Shalom alaikum, sister."

And, people should remember that hijab is not just a protection from guys, but from a girls' nafs (ego) as well. It should prevent girls from having to spend hours in front of the mirror doing her hair. But, unfortunately, you see girls in front of the mirror for hours doing their hijab as they would do their hair, with all sorts of elaborate braids and the like. I wanted to go up to a sister and say "Is your hijab naturally curly?" I also felt compelled to go up to another girl and say "Pardon me, but is your hijab naturally that colour, or did you dye it"?

Well the point is that some people make an effort to wear hijab, but it is futile, because it is not fulfilling its purpose. It's like using an umbrella with holes in it. Hijab is used for protection from guys as well as from the girl herself, and should not be used as an accessory or for beautifying one's self.

Isn't this considered Bida' (innovation)?

He (sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam) said, "I admonish you to fear Allah, to listen and obey even if an Abyssinian slave is appointed as your leader. Because whosoever among you shall live after me, will see much discord. So hold fast to my Sunnah and the examples of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs who will come after me. Adhere to them and hold to it fast. Beware of new things (in Deen) because every Bid`ah is a misguidance; and every misgudance is in the Fire".

The Words of Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen Concerning Suicide Bombings

Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said in his explanation of Riyaadus-Saaliheen (1/165-166), whilst giving some points of benefit from the hadeeth of Suhayb, may Allaah be pleased with him:

"That Allaah¹s Messenger, sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam, said, "There used to be a king amongst those who came before you, and he had a sorcerer. So when he grew old he said to the king, I have become old so send a boy to me so that I can teach him sorcery" ­ the hadeeth. (Riyaadhus-Saaliheen, no. 30)

Fourthly: That it is permissible for a person to expose himself to danger for a matter of general benefit to the Muslims, because the boy indicated to the king the way in which he would be able to kill him, and which would lead to his demise, which was that he should take an arrow from his quiver etc.

The basic principle concerning this is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And it is not lawful for you (men) to take back (from your wives) any of your Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) which you have given them, except when both parties fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allaah (e.g. to deal with each other on a fair basis). Then if you fear that they would not be able to keep the limits ordained by Allaah, then there is no sin on either of them if she gives back (the Mahr or a part of it) for her Al-Khul‘ (divorce)” [al-Baqarah 2:229]
