There is no such thing as bid’ah hasanah in Islam

published by abualabbasassaffah on 18 January, 2013 - 00:41

Praise be to Allaah. 

Firstly, we should know what "bid'ah" means according to Islamic teaching.  It is defined as: any invented way in religion that is aimed at worshipping or drawing closer to Allaah. This means anything that is not referred to specifically in Sharee'ah, and for which there is no evidence (daleel) in the Qur'aan or Sunnah, and which was not known at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his Companions. At the same time, it is quite obvious that this definition of religious inventions or innovations, which are condemned, does not include worldly inventions [such as cars and washing machines, etc. - Translator]. 

Ummul Mu'mineen Hadhrat Aisha Siddeeqa and the Duha Prayer.

published by You on 17 January, 2013 - 23:10

Let's get this topic started.

Narrated 'Aisha:

Allah's Apostle used to give up a good deed, although he loved to do it, for fear that people might act on it and it might be made compulsory for them. The Prophet never prayed the Duha prayer, but I offer it.

Not the one I was looking for, but its a start.

Ever heard of 'Marrying the Quran'?

published by Hummus on 16 January, 2013 - 12:33

Yes you've heard it right. There are people in this world, who are living right now, who believe that getting their child married to the Quran is the way forward. I'm sure this will spark some discussion because of the recent broadcast on the news, as well as there being a book by the name of 'The Holy Woman'  which talks about this issue. So let's divert our attention here and discuss it here, rather than on the feedback for TheRevivalEditor's first video.

Shias refuse to bury the killed

published by TPOS on 15 January, 2013 - 01:37

 

Quote:
About 1,000 Pakistani Shia Muslims are protesting in the southwest for a second day, blocking a main road with the bodies of relatives killed in a bombing to demand the government provide better security. 

The bombings in Quetta on Thursday were the worst in a series of attacks across Pakistan that have killed 120 people. Most of the dead were Shias killed in twin bombings at a billiards hall. Sunni extremists are increasingly targeting members of the beleaguered minority sect.

The Gossip Box

The gossip and backibiting* box

Idea

So you put a money box your living room or something, and everytime someone starts to gossip/backbite you remind them and make them put some money in the box. Not coppers though, cuz despite every penny making a pound, no one really cares about coppers so it wouldn't have the desired effect. The money would be counted as sadaqah. 

It should work in two ways

1) Charity is charity. That's always useful. Also giving to charity is a form of purifying ourselves from our sins

But that doesn't mean you should just carry on backbiting, since you're giving to charity. It doesn't work like that, obviously.

2) Once people keep having to put money in the box, it should be a deterant, no?
