I havent blogged about the Arab revolts in a while now.

That isnt because its all over or sorted though.

The current big place of action is Syria - tension has been simmering for the past year and thousands have been killed.

Now it seems that Assad Junior is preparing to go the whole hog like his father with a ground assault on the city of Homs which could leave many more dead and injured.

There have been calls for resolutions from major western powers which have been vetoes by China and Russia - the latter claiming that the former are stoking the unrest.

It is a complicated situation where the government forces are clearly in the wrong, and it seems like it will only get worse.

Just something I want to clear up.

A hadith with a weak chain of narration is still a valid hadith. It is not rejected or found to be manufactured - those have different terms for them.

The best example in this is one of parents. If a parent goes weak will you disown them? no.

In the same way, you cant disown a hadith simply because its chain of narration is weak. The historical position is that they are used for guidance and benefits, but not for rules.

PS a weak hadith can rise to a stronger position even as far as hasan if there are other similar ahadith that support its position.

Disclaimer: I am not a scholar.

Salaams!

Speakers: Shaykh Zahir Mahmood and Shaykh Shams ad-Duha next week saturday inshaaAllah

f you want to know the importance of your heart, then look at the hadith (record of speech or action) of Umm Salamah. The people asked her, “What du`a’ [supplication] did the Prophet ﷺ (peace be upon him)] make the most?” She said, “He made the du`a’: ‘Allahuma, muqalib al quloob, thabit qalby `ala deenik. O Allah, the One who turns the hearts, make my heart firm on Your deen (way of life).’” This is the Prophet ﷺ. What about us? We walk across campus and can forget half a juz (part; 1/30) of Qur’an just because of the things we see.

The video has english subtitles.

Endless peace and blessings be upon the best of creation SAW and his SAW family.

Just wondering if certain types of protests wouldn't be Islamically allowed.

E.g. Is going on a hunger strike permissible? As it may be an effective way of protesting however you are denying yourself something halal and it could lead to a massive deterioration of your health.

Or can you say it's the same as when the Muslims didnt eat because of being forced out of Makah...I really need to brush up on my history as I can't remember exactly what happened at that time :$

Salaamz Revivalers !

Whats wrong with the revival

the website takes along time to load or sometimes it just never loads, even pages/contents on the website they either take along time to load or never come up....whats the problem, is there some sort of maintenance going on etc...???

Religion is being "sidelined, marginalised and downgraded in the public sphere", Conservative co-chairwoman Baroness Warsi wrote in an article for the Daily Telegraph.

The Muslim peer said Europe needed to become "more confident and more comfortable in its Christianity".

She will also highlight the issue in a speech at the Vatican later on Tuesday.
