I find being aware of the phrase in the title pretty liberating.

Its an ancient article that is hard to find on this site, but I think for those interested in learning more about the intricacies of bid'ah will find it interesting.

What happens after death?

If you've been good you go to heaven and if you've been bad you go to hell. Is that it?

Either way, apparently your soul gets a day off on Thurdsay. Can go back to Earth and see loved ones and watch them reading Quran and Dua's for you.

And then you can take that reward back and use it to expunge some of your sins and reduce your afterlife punishment (if you're getting any).

OR SO I'VE HEARD

Can anyone confirm that this is the case or confirm that it's made up?

I need / want to know.

· Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, he had been with us for many years.

· No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost.

· He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

· Knowing when to come in out of the rain;

· Why the early bird gets the worm;

With Mawlid un nabi, I know that some people are not sure on its validity. But something strange happens at this time of the year every year:

Some people celebrate mawlid and get on with it.

Then there are some people who dont celebrate it who get on with it.

Both of these groups are trying to act on Islam on the way they consider the the best way to follow the Qur'an and sunnah with sincerity. Both can be deeply admired as long as you are willing to understand the reasons for their views and actions.

But then there is a third way, that I dont get - those that get a pain in their stomach when mawlid is celebrated (with the performing of ibadat, lets not pretend that its because someone might do something that is considered unislamic behaviour).
