Barelwi V.S. Deobandi: Which Side Are You On?

published by Radiatingali on 13 November, 2010 - 00:03

Qasim Nanotavi Deobandi wrote in his book:

- "Agir bilfarz bad zamana Nabvi [saw] is'see zameen meh kohi Nabi peda ho toh phir Khatamiyat e Muhammedi meh farq nah ahay ga. Cha'h jahay kay aap kay ma'sir kissi aur zameen meh aur Nabi tajweez keeya jahay toh phir bee aap kee KHATAMIAT BADASTOOR QAHIM RAHAY GEE"

- Suppose if, after the time of Prophet Muhammed sallalahu alayhi was'salam in this world some Prophet was born, even then khatamiat e Muhammedi will not be effected. Even so if like aap {i.e. Prophet Muhammed} in an other world another Prophet is apointed, even then aap {Prophet Muhammed's} khatamiat will remain as traditionally understood.

Explanation of Surah Ahqaf

published by Utrujj on 11 November, 2010 - 23:00

“Our people, respond to the one who calls you to Allah. Believe in Him: He will forgive you your sins and protect you from a painful torment”
[Al Ahqaaf: 31]

Al Ahqaaf is the 46th chapter of the Qur’an, a Makkan surah revealed around the 10th year of Prophethood, during the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) return from his infamous journey to Ta’if, where he was rejected and abused by the people. It is in the context of the ‘year of sorrow’ where he (upon him be peace) was going through great personal difficulty that this surah was revealed by Allah, as a reassurance to him and the believers, and a warning to those who reject the message.

Wearing Perfume

published by Truth's_Razors on 7 November, 2010 - 16:50

Abu Musa al-Ash’ari said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“Any woman who puts on perfume then passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance, is an adulteress.”

So women shouldn't wear perfume (outside the home or except for her husband) because it can stimulate male desires, attract them to the woman etc BUT what about men who wear cologne? Does that not excite female desires in the same way, is it not the same thing?

Another thing. What about attar (for both men and women)?

Poppies and 'Heroes'

published by You on 6 November, 2010 - 16:00

The Poppy Appeal is once again subverting Armistice Day. A day that should be about peace and remembrance is turned into a month-long drum roll of support for current wars. This year's campaign has been launched with showbiz hype. The true horror and futility of war is forgotten and ignored.

The public are being urged to wear a poppy in support of "our Heroes". There is nothing heroic about being blown up in a vehicle. There is nothing heroic about being shot in an ambush and there is nothing heroic about fighting in an unnecessary conflict.

Remembrance should be marked with the sentiment "Never Again".
