General Discussions / mumin and muslim
January 27, 2015, 03:33:45 PM
Dear brother Joseph,

Salamun Alaikum.

I have read your article on the difference between mumin and muslim. It is pretty convincing. But after reading a verse a question arises in my mind. That is  3:102.

`O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except as muslims.' (3:102)

As i understood from your article, believer is a better position. you said, `For example, one may be a Muslim but may not yet be a 'Mu'min' (believer) as true faith has not yet entered their hearts.' This is also supported by Quran.

My question is, why Allah asks believers to `die not except as muslims.'

Take Care.

Best Wishes for your here and hereafter.

Quote from razorrahmo : and Angels have no free will.

IF Angels have no free will then how did they ask to God, `Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood....' (2:30)

General Discussions / Quran Touching

Brother Joseph

Salam.

Most of the muslims claim that those who do not have ablution (including the women who are in a state of menstruation) should not touch the Quran.

They refer to 56: 79 (None touch it except the purified.)

Do you think it is correct? Or the meaning is different?

Thanks.

Best Regards.

Dear Brother Joseph

Salam and Thanks for your kind responses.

Just a side note. One of my freinds said that its nice to write `in sha allah' separately. Otherwise it could be meant differently. Is he right?

Best wishes.

Dear brother Joseph,

Salam.

Thanks for your kind response. Its always helpful. (And, by the way, I use your posts frequently in relation with some of my facebook status. Hope you wouldn't mind.)

`From a Quran's standpoint', you said, `there is nothing wrong with reading or reciting passages from the Quran as best practice.' I agree. But when someone doesn't know the meaning what he recites, then wouldn't it be wise to utter something what he/she understands.

One more thing. In salat one have to say a lot to God. Sometimes the verses doesn't cover all the issues he want to express. (May Allah forgive me if I cross the limit). Then, is it ok if he/she says his own words alongwith recitation of the holy book. In that case (for own words) would it be mandatory to utter in intermediate voice, though it is not recitation.

One more to ask. Is there any problem if i recite diferent parts/verses of Quran (which all are prayer) at a stretch in one rakah.

Sorry, if I'm taking too much time.

May Allah grant you peace here and hereafter.

Thanks.

Islamic Duties / Reciting Quran in Prayer

Dear All

Salam

One more question I would like to ask you.

All the necessary guiding aspects of prayer are mentioned by the Quran and  there is no mention to recite surah/ayat from Quran. Then why do we recite Quran in salat in a mandatory way?

Thanks.

Best Wishes.

Dear All

Salam.

From a response of Joseph Islam (to Wazir) I came to know that it would be nice to avoid uttering `Qul' before reciting suras like Ikhlas in ritual prayer. Very Logical.
My question : Is there any problem if i recite diferent parts/verses of Quran (which all are prayer) in one rakah.

Thanks.

Dear All

Salam

Recently read an article in free-minds.org about the meaning of AR RAHMAN. The writer proposed that according the usages in the Quran the meaning of AR RAHMAN should be and is THE MOST POWERFUL. Generally we read it as MOST GRACIOUS.

Here is the link

What's your opinion.

Dear all

Salam.

Thanks Good Logic and Anwar for your responses. But i might have failed to make you understand the query.

Question was, why Allah did not preserve the previous scriptures as Quran is preserved through recitation and other ways. Why Allah allowed/intended those to be corrupted or mixed up with other things.

And if `the need for various revelations in parallel with human progress across the ages was always necessary' then the question comes, is the human progress stopped? Or will it be soon? whats about a few centuries later?

I dont want to be engaged with superfluous query. but as the question came to me, i just put it forward to you.

best regards.

General Discussions / preservation of scripture

Dear Joseph

Assalamu alaikum

One of my freinds asked that why Allah did not preserve the previous scriptures like He preserves the Quran? Were not those His favorite? Then why He allowed those to be corrupted? I answered that Allah knows the best. And perhaps time was one factor. As the civilization advanced those scriptures lost relevancy. So the final scripture arrives.
But I myself is not fully content with this answer.

Do you have any explanation regarding this issue.

Best Regards.

Dear Brother Joseph

Salam

According to Quran we must recite in prayers in a intermediate way. (17:110)

But most of our imam recite quietly in Dhuhr and Asr. Is there any problem to follow them? Shall i be responsible for that?

Best regards.
