Celebrating Shab E Barat - A Thread

Some Muslims celebrate the middle of Sha‘baan, fasting on that day and spending that night in prayer. There is a hadeeth concerning that which is not saheeh, hence the scholars regarded celebrating this day as an innovation

About Eid al-Adha:

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate.

All praise is to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.

And the blessings and peace of Allah be upon His Chosen Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad, his family, companions, and followers.

Islam has two major holidays, Eid al-Fitr (Post-Fasting Festival) and Eid al-Adha.

The word Eid itself is an Arabic word, whose root connotation is ‘that which comes back, time after time, and rejoicing.’ Its particular usage in Islam, for the two major holidays,...

is because these two days are meant to be days of rejoicing.

The Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “They are days of eating, drinking, and remembrance of God.” [Reported by Bukhari in his Sahih,...

[THREAD] Why the Qadiyani (or Ahmadiya’a) community aren’t Muslims and Mirza Ghulam is an impostor ?

Mirza Ghulam was born in 1835 in India, he’s the founder of the movement claiming Islam. This movement is called "Ahmadiyya" or "Qadianiyya".

Coming from a Sunni and Sufi family, he would have been immersed very early in learning Islam and would have learned Arabic around the age of 10.

We will now see more about him and his sect :

In 1889, Mîrzâ Ghulam said that he had received a "revelation" from Allah designating him as the Mahdi and mujaddid.

First problem, the Mahdi must descend from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and bear his name. What you need to know is that "Ahmad" is just a late addition to give credibility to his pseudo-prophecy.

What is #Tawheed?
What are the Categories of Tawhid?

Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let the first thing to which you will invite them, be the Tawhid of Allah."
(Sahih al Bukhari 7372)

#Tawheed is to single out Allah in his Actions, in His Attributes, and to single out Allah in our actions/worship towards Him (His Rights).

🔹1 - Tawheed ar Rububiyyah
(maintaining unity in Allah's actions, the divine Lordship of Allah)

He alone is the Creator & Sustainer, and controller of the universe (etc).. and not attributing any of this to anyone else

🔹2 - Tawheed al Ibaadah(Uluhiyyah)
(maintaining the unity of worship)
This means to single out Allah as the focus of all worship (‘ibaadah).

Allah alone has the right to be supplicated to & prayed to, and sacrificed for and worshiped... directly, and without any intermediaries.
A person can believe in Allah(One God) and still be committing #SHIRK (polytheist)

Allah says.. 👉 “And if you were to ask them: ‘Who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon?’ they will surely reply: ‘Allah.’ How then are they deviating (as polytheists and disbelievers)?” - [Quran 29:61]

How Islam spread to Sylhet (Northeastern Bangladesh) 🧵

Shaykh al-Mashāʾikh Makhdūm Shaykh Jalāl Mujarrad bin Muḥammad Kunyāī better known as Hazrat Shah Jalal was one of the most famous scholars and preachers to have disseminated Islam throughout Bengal. He was born in Kunyia (today known as Konya, in present-day Turkey) in 1271.

His mother, Syeda Haseenah Fatimah, and his father, Mahmud ibn Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, were descendants of the Quraysh tribe in Makkah. Having lost both his father and mother very early on in life, young Shah Jalal was raised and
educated by his maternal uncle

Sayyid Ahmad Kabir Suhrawardi, who was a prominent Muslim scholar and practitioner of Sufism. Jalal was an adherent of the Yisiwiyyah Sufi order, which was an offshoot of the famous Naqshbandiyyah tariqah.

Being a gifted student, Jalal soon committed the entire Qur’an to memory and became familiar with the traditional Islamic sciences, thus acquiring proficiency in Arabic grammar, Qur’anic exegesis (tafsir), Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh),Prophetic traditions (hadith) and tasawwuf.

Islamic Stance on Music [🧵]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Music has been so normalized that “scholars” have even misguided people on it. May Allah forgive us and guide us, aameen.

This will be a long but informative thread on this topic, in shaa’ Allah

Ibn Masud (rAa) said about this ayah: “It is singing, by the one and only God” he repeated it 3x (Tafsir Tabari 11/61)

Ibn Abbas says the same thing (recorded in Adab Al Mufrad), so do Jabir Ibn Abdillah and Ibn Umar. As well as Ibn Abbas’ father (radhiAllahu ‘anhum)

The scholars of tafsir regarding the voice (of Iblis):

Mujahid: It is singing, flutes, distraction, falsehood (Tafsir Tabari 15/81)

Hasan Al-Basri: It’s the duff and the flute (Tafsir Samani 3/258)

Ibn Abbas said: It is singing. Upon hearing the Quran, they (the mushrikeen of makkah) used to sing and play. (Tafsir Tabari 13/82)

Mujahid also says the same thing in Talbis Iblis by Ibn Jawzi (p. 231)
