  • 2. Birth of the Prophet
    On the Path of the Beloved The Birth of the Prophet In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Ever-Merciful. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet . This is the second day of Ramadan. How are you feeling? Are you still enthusiastic? Always keep in mind the six merits of fasting Ramadan, so that when you feel your strength is letting you down, these can lift your spirits up: 1- Forgiveness of your sins. 2- Escaping Hellfire. 3- A treasure of good deeds (multiply every good deed by 70). 4- The prayer of a fasting person, at the time of breaking the fast, is answered. 5- “The Night of Determination ‘ Al Qadr’ is better than a thousand months” ( 97:3), and we have to prepare for it as of today. 6- Allah’s delight with his fasting subjects. We have agreed on our motto: “I will worship Allah, like I have never done before.” We have also put a table containing six points that the Prophet used to maintain in Ramadan, and we have said that women will be in charge of preparing the table and passing it to their men. These points were: 1- Praying the five daily prayers ‘jamaa’, (in congregation). 2- Observing and maintaining family ties. 3- Daily charity. 4- A special daily prayer, specifically to be saved from Hellfire and to instigate the revival of our nation. 5- Reading the entire Qur’an. 6- Do at least one positive action every day (like guiding someone to the straight path or any other action of some benefit to society).

In fact, the task of translation is not an easy one. Rather, it is a tremendous one, particularly when it is related to religion. So, I ask Allah to forgive my sins and dedicate this work for His Sake. However, I would like to draw the attention of the readers to the following points: a) This translation is not literal one. Rather, it is an abridged translation. b) The translation of the Qur'anic verses are quoted from Yusuf 'Ali's translation of The Holy Q'ur'an. c) When I see it is necessary to comment on something I put it between square brackets: [t.

    The Letter of the Prophet to the Emperor of Byzantium ﺔ اﻨﻟﻲﺒ ﺻ اﷲ ﻋ ﻴ و ﻠﻢ إﻰﻟ ﻣﺮﺒاﻃﻮر ﺑ�ﻧﻄﺔ English [ ﻣ� �ي - ] Jeremy Boulter ��� ﺑﻮﻟﺮﺘ www.islamreligion.com website مﻮﻗﻊ دﻳﻦ اﻹﻢﻼم 2013 - 1434 The Letter of the Prophet to the Emperor of Byzantium An Introduction Organization of the Article This article consists of a first part which is the back- ground and context of the two stories that are told in the second and third part. The main story is the narration of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb to Ab- dullah ibn Abbas concerning his meeting with Heraclius in Jerusalem, recorded in the col- lection of Saheeh al-Bukhari. Appended to this narration is another, whose source was the Governor of Jerusalem, ibn al-Natur. From the events rec- orded in each story, it seems obvious that the invitation to Islam by Heraclius to his people in Homs happened at a later date than the meeting of Abu Sufyan with him in Jerusalem. However, it also seems clear that Heraclius must have called for Abu Sufyan after he had heard news of the Prophet in Arabia. Moreover, it is without doubt that when Abu Sufyan met Heraclius, the latter was in possession of the letter from the Prophet. Thus I have split the narration of ibn al-Natur into two episodes which coincidentally occurred in two dif- ferent locations. The first episode took place in Jerusalem, before the meeting of Abu Sufyan with Heraclius there. 2 while the second in Homs, after Heraclius left Jerusalem. I have also placed the split narration before and after Abu Su- fyan’s story.

  • Forgiveness in Islam
    Forgiveness by Dr. M. Amir Ali, Ph.D.1 Question #1: How is forgiveness defined according to the Islamic tradition? (e.g. which words for forgiveness are used in sacred texts, what does the act of forgiveness entail?) The Concept of Forgiveness in Islam The concept of forgiveness in the Qur'an is expressed in three terms, (1) 'afw, (2) safhu, and (3) ghafara 'Afw means to pardon, to excuse for a fault or an offense or a discourtesy, waiver of punishment and amnesty. Examples of usage in the Qur'an are verses 42:40, 2:187 and 5:95. Safhu means to turn away from a sin or a misdeed, ignore, etc. Examples of usage in the Qur'an are verses 2:109, 15:85 and 43:89. Ghafara or maghfira means to cover, to forgive and to remit. Examples of usage in the Qur'an are verses 2:263, 42:37 and 43:43. For more details see Lane's Lexicon2 and Hans Wehr's dictionary3, among others. The God, Allah4 is the ultimate power Who can forgive. Forgiveness means closing an account of offense against God or any of His creation. However, forgiveness must meet the criteria of sincerity. God, the All- Knowing, has the knowledge of everything including whatever a person thinks but does not express in words or deeds. An offense may be against (a) a person, (b) a group of persons or society, (c) other creation of God such as animals, plants, land, atmosphere, bodies of water and the life therein, and (d) God, Allah.

  • HIST351-2.3.2-Sharia.Pdf
    Sharia 1 Sharia . šarīʿah, IPA: [ʃaˈriːʕa], "way" or "path") is the code of conduct or religious law of Islamﺷﺮﻳﻌﺔ :Sharīʿah (Arabic Most Muslims believe Sharia is derived from two primary sources of Islamic law: the precepts set forth in the Qur'an, and the example set by the Islamic Prophet Muhammad in the Sunnah. Fiqh jurisprudence interprets and extends the application of Sharia to questions not directly addressed in the primary sources by including secondary sources. These secondary sources usually include the consensus of the religious scholars embodied in ijma, and analogy from the Qur'an and Sunnah through qiyas. Shia jurists prefer to apply reasoning ('aql) rather than analogy in order to address difficult questions. Muslims believe Sharia is God's law, but they differ as to what exactly it entails.[1] Modernists, traditionalists and fundamentalists all hold different views of Sharia, as do adherents to different schools of Islamic thought and scholarship. Different countries and cultures have varying interpretations of Sharia as well. Sharia deals with many topics addressed by secular law, including crime, politics and economics, as well as personal matters such as sexuality, hygiene, diet, prayer, and fasting. Where it enjoys official status, Sharia is applied by Islamic judges, or qadis. The imam has varying responsibilities depending on the interpretation of Sharia; while the term is commonly used to refer to the leader of communal prayers, the imam may also be a scholar, religious leader, or political leader. The reintroduction of Sharia is a longstanding goal for Islamist movements in Muslim countries. Some Muslim minorities in Asia (e.g.
