Salam All, I just wanted to know as to why Allah uses "We" in some places in Quran? Thanks

وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَ
الْأُولَىٰ وَأَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتِينَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا
33:33
And stay in your houses and do not display your finery like the displaying of the ignorance of yore; and keep up prayer, and pay the poor-rate, and obey Allah and His Apostle. Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O people of the House! and to purify you a (thorough) purifying.

Dear Bros, This is the Ayah which Shia Brothers say it refers to the Prophet ,Ali, Fatima,Hasan and Hussain being the members of Ahle Baith. Actually the Azwaje Muthaharat are the part of Ahle
and not the married daughter & soninlaw and their kids. This a misnomer which the Shiah brothers are
harping upon since ages. I want to stress upon the real fact to all my brothers in faith

فَمَنْ حَاجَّكَ فِيهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَكَ مِنَ
فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَنِسَاءَنَا وَنِسَاءَكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل
لَّعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَاذِبِينَ
3:61
But whoever disputes with you in this matter after what has come to you of knowledge, then say: Come let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and our near people and your near people, then let us be earnest in prayer, and pray for the curse of Allah on the liars.

Salam All, I do not know what was th outcome of this Mubahila but I wonder how does Allah say to bring their sons & women for talk while the Prophet did not have sons. But I thought Abnayakum means both sons & daughters. As per Ahadith the prophet was reported to have taken Ali, Fatima and
Hasan & Hussain alongwith him to this Mubahila with Christians.

Hazrat Ali had Nine wives & his son Hasan also had Nine. The question is had they chosen their wives
from the mothers of Orphans as per Quranic order ? If not they have gone against injungsion of Quran. And further increased from permissible number 4 to 9.

Salam Bro JAI, I read your Article
on Radiallah Anhu. You rightly
pointed out that we cannot tag this
to any particular Sahabi but Sahaba in general.
In this connection I wanted to know why the Muslim Ummah
calls Hazrat Ali as " Karamullah
Wajahu" كرم اللاه وجوهو& secondly why the Shia
call all their  Imams as " Alai hissalam"عليالسلام
which is reserved for Ambia &
all muslims call.Thanks

6:130يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِي وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَٰذَا قَالُوا شَهِدْنَا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِنَا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَشَهِدُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَافِرِينَ
6:130
O assembly of jinn and men! did there not come to you apostles from among you, relating to you My communications and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours? They shall say: We bear witness against ourselves; and this world's life deceived them, and they shall bear witness against their own souls that they were unbelievers.
--------------------------------------------------
Salam All, The above quoted Ayah confirms that Jinn & Ins are different categories as against the belief of some that Jinns are Nomads.

Salam All, In one of the interviews one Pakistani scholar was expressing that running an Islamic state
in present times is not possible. I don't understand how can he tell this since the Prophet had established the Govt.in Madina after capturing Mecca followed by the Khulfai Rashadeen.Therefore in
my humble opinion an Islamic Govt. can successfully run during present times. Forum members are
requested to give their valued opinion. Thanks

46:15 We have enjoined on the human to be good and kind to his parents. In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the child and his total dependence on her took thirty months. When he attains full maturity and reaches forty years, he says, "My Lord! Enable me to be grateful for the favor You have done to me and my parents, and that I may do works that meet Your approval. And make for me the upbringing of my children that they may be righteous as well. To You I turn, for I am of those who submit to You." [2:233, 7:189, 17:23-24, 31:13-15. Parents, because the father remained committed to the child and gave the mother full support in rearing]

Salam all, In another Forum they say that Allah Hu Akbar is not in Quran but in the above Aya & some
other Ayah there appears to be Allah Hu Akbar I think. Can somebody help me and why when calling
Azan & calling Iqama before salat they call Allah Hu Akbar ? Thanks

فَإِن تَابُوا وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ
فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَنُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ
9:11
But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and We make the communications clear for a people who know

Style   Traditional temple architecture
Cheraman Jum'ah Masjid (Malayalam: ചേരമാൻ ജുമാ മസ്ജിദ്‌) is a mosque in Methala, Kodungallur Taluk, Thrissur district in the Indian state of Kerala.[1] The Cheraman Masjid is said to be the very first mosque in India, built in 629 AD by Malik lbn Dinar. It is believed that this mosque was first renovated and reconstructed in the 11th century AD. Many non-Muslims conduct initiation ceremonies to the world of letters of their children here.[1]
History
Kerala Vyasan Kunhikuttan Thampuran is of the opinion that an ancient Buddha vihar was gifted to the Muslims to establish a mosque.[1][dubious – discuss] Since ancient times, trade relations between Arabia and the Indian subcontinent were active. Even before Islam had been established in Arabia, Arab traders visited the Malabar region, which was a major link between the ports of South and Southeast Asia. With the advent of Islam, the Arab merchants became carriers of the new religion and they propagated it wherever they went.[2] Cheraman Perumal, the Chera king, went to Arabia where he met the Prophet and embraced Islam and changed his name to Tajuddin.[3] From there he had sent letters with Malik Ibn Dinar to his relatives in Kerala, asking them to be courteous to the latter.[1]According to Burnell he was a contemporary of Islamic Prophet Muhammad.[4]
Belief goes that a group of Arabs led by Malik Bin Deenar and Malik bin Habib arrived in north Kerala and constructed a Masjid at Kodungalloor, naming it after their contemporary Cheraman Perumal.[5]
The mosque has an ancient oil lamp which always burns and which is believed to be more than a thousand years old. People of all religions bring oil for the lamp as offering. Like most mosques in Kerala, this mosque allows entry for Non-Muslims.[citation needed]. The then president of India Abdul Kalam is among the notable visitors to this mosque.
-------------------------------------------
Salam All, Eventhough Bro Joseph Islam has proved that the SALATH was performed by Muslims giving the history narrations of Christians that muslims used to pray & fast. Here is another proof of muslims Praying Salath in Cherumal mosque in Kerala India during the ministry of our Prophet.

Is Euthansia ( Mercy Killing) permitted in Islam.

Salam all. Can somebody say if all the prophets mentioned in Quran were Infalliable ?  Thanks

Do the Mudlim Women Have Rights to Work?

4:32 Covet not the qualities bestowed upon others by God. Men shall earn what they do and women shall earn what they do. Men excel in some areas and women excel in some areas. Envy not one another but seek God's Bounty to the best of your abilities. God is ever Knower of all things.

لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا
33:21

Certainly you have in the Apostle of Allah an excellent exemplar for him who hopes in Allah and the latter day and remembers Allah much.

Salam All, Can somebody kindly clarify as to where one can find Aswai Husna ( Excellent Charector)of our Prophet? Do we find in Quran or Hadith Narrations or in Proohet's Sunnah? Thanks

I came across a blog where it is said by an Alim that the word Maghfirah is Non Quranic which means that one can not pray  Allah for a diseased person for his salvation.or forgiving his shortcomings or sins? Thanks

33:52 Henceforth, no other women shall be lawful to you (O Prophet), nor can you substitute anyone with other wives even if you find them attractive. None beyond those you already have. Surely, God is Watchful over all things.
Salam All, Can somebody explain as to why this Ayah was revealed to our Prophet ?

In the following Ayaath Allah says that whomsoever He guides nobody can get him stray & whomsoever misguides any one nobody can guide him. Can somebody clarify ?  Thanksمَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِي وَمَن يُضْلِلْ
فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ
7:178
Whomsoever Allah guides, he is the one who follows the right way; and whomsoever He causes to err, these are the losers.
7:186
مَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ وَيَذَرُهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
7:186
Whomsoever Allah causes to err, there is no guide for him; and He leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.
