General Discussions / What to do in difficult situations?

« on: February 05, 2016, 03:23:58 PM »

Salam All...

Hope..all are fine...I live in India...and muslim population in India is greater in number compared to some other countries...recently...we have been facing some problems within the community...a muslim organisation...Tamil Nadu Tawheed Jamath...is active and...has been conducting various conferences and other things in the state of Tamil Nadu (a part of India)...actually...its propagating hatred towards other communities and religions...in the name of Anti-idol worshiping...India is a secular country...and no religion is considered to rule..only...democracy is established...in the recent conference conducted by Tawheed Jamath in Tamil Nadu..it has stated...that..they will make India a Islamic State and will enforce Sharia Law and all...from their talks...they seem to be IS sympathizers..and one more thing is...they are disturbing the communal harmony between all religions in the country...such talks and conferences will prompt other religions...especially Hindus to go against Muslims (and they can be successful too...as India is the Hindu Majority Country)...so..it is really sad thing...that...they are creating trouble for everyone and trying to disturb the peace and harmony in the country...I want to complaint against them...to the Government and wanted to stop them from conducting any other conferences...i know it is not easy..but i wanted to try...but...my family would not allow it...as...they will fear that...we can be attacked by the so called idiots...so...at this point...what should we do?...should i still go with the complaint to the Government..or should i just let them do whatever they want?

I hope you guys can guide...

Thanks and regards,

General Discussions / What is the meaning of dabbah?

« on: February 01, 2016, 01:43:49 PM »

Salam Walaikum All,

Hope all are fine...As I am reading Quran in english...i came across a word..."When God's word is justly carried out against them, we will produce a dabbah from the earth which will tell them that mankind had no real faith in our signs."...the translator has mentioned in the footnote that...

At the time when Almighty God takes decision to bring to an end the present history of the earth, some extraordinary sings will appear to usher in the last phase. Among these sings will be the appearance of a dabbah. The message, which was brought through human beings and which was not accepted by the people will be announced by dabbah. Modern systems of communications are probably what is alluded to here as dabbah. This will be the bell announcing the end of the examination period and not its beginning.

So...what does this dabbah mean?...does it mean that...end of the world is near?..can anyone clear please.

Thanks and best regards,
Anjum

What is the role of Prophet Jesus in Islam?...i met some of my Christian friends yesterday...we were just discussing...most of the things they said was...same as in Quran...the only thing i couldnt understand is...they said...Garden of Adam and Eve was created by Jesus...and they also said that...when Jesus descended to Heaven..some people only saw his hands...and they said that...Jesus descended to Heaven...is it true that...Jesus was crucified?...everything else was similar to us and them..like...they said...no idol worship...God is one...we shall pray to one God only...etc etc...only i m confused about the above statement...hope you guys can clear it...

Does Quran say anything about the mark on the forehead of muslims...(which is mostly caused due to their constant praying..or may be because of prostrating)...

What is adornment according to Quran?...I wear a chain...in which my husband's name is inscribed..so that...people would know that I am married...as many think that i m still unmarried...so i started wearing this chain..so..are ornaments not allowed for women to wear in public?...does adornment mean ornaments?...

Is piercing allowed?...like...we wear earings...so piercing on our ears allowed?

I hope you guys could help me...sorry and thanks again...
