Terrorism

QUESTION:  What do you say to suicide bombers, who claim Islam tells them it is O.K.? ANSWER: Well, without even thinking I can tell you that it's very, very terminal. Basically, after you do it, there is no reason to discuss it. First of all let's take the word “suicide.” Is it permitted in Islam to commit suicide, Ever? - Never. So that word automatically cancels out the whole statement. Somebody commits suicide, that's it. If you just said “what's the ruling on bombing,” which is a better question, it's also forbidden to kill people in Islam except in the case where it has been ordered by Allah. It's absolutely forbidden to kill people; it is, except when it is ordered by Allah. Next, it's also forbidden for Muslims on any subject to take the law into their own hands. It's never permissible for you or I to suddenly decide, 'Well, I'm just going to do this or do that'. Here in the West, if you're in your home sleeping in the bed or ar...

Hadhrat Ibn Abbas

-
Hadhrat Abdullah bin Abbas (Radhiyallaho anho) used to say to the people: "Come to me for your difficulties in understanding the Qur'an. I memorised it while I was only a child." In another Hadith, he is reported to have said: "I had completed my reading of the Qur'an when l' was only ten." The reading of the Qur'an by Sahabah was not done like the reading by the non-Arabs of today. Whatever they read, they read with full meaning and explanation. As the impression of something memorised in childhood is very deep and permanent, so Abdullah bin Abbas (Radhiyallaho anho) is accepted as Imam in Tafsir. None of the Sahabah has narrated more Ahadith explaining the meaning of Qur'an than was done by Ibn Abbas. Abdullah bin Mas'ood (Radhiyallaho anho) says: "Abdullah bin Abbas (Radhiyallaho anho) is the best commentator of the Qur'an." . Abu Abdur Rahman(Rahmatullah alaih), on the authority of Sahabah who taught him the Qur'an, says...

How can we tell if a certain worship is innovated in İslam?What is the way to distinguish between a Sunnah and a Bid'ah?

-
When we come back to Tawhid and İbadah , worshipping Allah by maintaining His unity in that worship, we do so in the way that the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) did. We do not invent or introduce new ways of worship, as some people for example; they want to celebrate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him). So they say, "this is something good". They may even bring a verse from the Quran. They will say, "Allah said in the Quran, 'Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.'" [Noble Quran 33:56] They bring this verse out. And you say, "Well, where does it say celebrate the Prophet’s (Peace and blessings be upon him) birthday there?" They say, "It’s there, it’s there, that’s what it means." It's their interpretation. The point is tha...
