Quran 41: 10 He set on the (earth) Mountains standing firm high above it, and bestowed blessing on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in FOUR DAYS EQUAL,for all those who ask.

Its not a contradiction as you say it is but as i explained earlier the 4 days includes the 2 days of the creation of the earth (41:9) and also the 2 extra days in creating its sustainance even though it doesnt boldly state it.

The earth by itself was created in 2 days (not including the things on earth) 41:9

and then adding on the days it took to create the things placed on earth (mountains, sand, rocks, hills e.t.c) was an extra 2 days making 4 days. In other words took 4 days to create the earth and what it contains.

41:12 indicates creating heaven took 2 days including the affairs/things in each heaven

@ toba -

u're defenseless at this point because the fact is that on this verse alone different bibles indicates totally different meanings which would be called the word of God by xtians but we muslims believe that God is perfect and mistakes are for lesser beings and cannot be associated with God.

so either way, one of these verses is possibly true but it is apparent from your outburst the version you vote for.

Quran is the word of Allah, the recorded word or action of prophet muhammad (SAW) is what we call hadith. Hadiths are usually authenticated by scholars, there are strong and weak hadith.

A weak hadith cannot be associated with the prophet(SAW). An hadith also means narration. The bible is an hadith (narration). It was narrated by different people that is why it is subject to errors. hadiths also have their errors different narrators with variable retention abilities.

In other words the Bible is the word of Man not God. No offense intended just pointing to what I believe is the fact.


ou did not answer the question though

and then they call the bible the word of God, and now in God's eyes servant=son?

Kings james version

Acts 3:26 To you first, God, having raised up His son jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away anyone from your iniquities

New King James Version (NKJV) ,
Acts 3:26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one [of you] from your iniquities."

New Living Translation (NLT), New International Version (NIV) e.t.c

Acts 3:26 When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you people of Israel, to bless you by turning each of you back from your sinful ways."

now it depends on which bible you are reading.

Bismillahi Rahmair Raheem,

Salam Alaykum,

To cola, where is the hadith from (Bukhari, Muslim,, ), you know there are so many weak ahadith. What is its isnad? Sahih or hasan?

Inna-lhamdulilah,

Asalam Alaykum my fellow Muslims,

Umm Habiba, the wife of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him), reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: If any Muslim servant (of Allah) prays for the sake of Allah twelve rak'ahs (of Sun'an) every day, over and above the obligatory ones, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise, or a house will be built for him in Paradise. (Sahih Muslim)

Inna-lhamdulilah,

Asalam Alaykum my fellow Muslims,

Alhamdulilah spelling is not so bad with regular practise you master the tajweed and recite the quran the way it was revealed. I meant memorisation in terms of learning the suras by heart and reading the sura without the mushaf. It is highly rewarding as well you know you get 10 hasana for each letter you read iin the quran (in arabic) though. Allah knows best how to reward us when we read in english.

Ma Salama

Inna-lhamdulilah,

Asalam Alaykum my fellow Muslims,

Ma sha Allah Sura Maryam. wow that is really long but I absolutely love the sura. Maryam is my role model some times when I wanna do something bad, i ask myself can Maryam do that or would she do it, if the answer is no, i usually leave the action. Subhanallah does that mean you know all suras from sura nas to sura maryam.

Advice- try to revise what you have memorised because prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said the quran runs faster off your head faster than an untied camel.
"Maintain studying the Qur'an for, by the One who controls the soul of Muhammad [Allah], one can lose it easier than losing a loose (untied) camel." Sahih Bukhari

Again recitation in the morning at fajr time is withnessed by the angels. You know the more verses of the quran you know the higher you r level will be in Jannah. Insha Allah we will be high up (amin).

Ma Salama

Inna-lhamdulilah,

Asalam Alaykum,

what was the hardest sura you ever memorised? It might be short but you know when you just struggle so hard to memorise and you think you know it but when you read it you struggle.
Mine is sura Jinn, Subhanallahi atheem, it took about two weeks if not more to learn this sura. I need constant revision so as not to forget.

Does anyone here memorises quran?

Ma salama

does anyone knows how to make the sauce (or stew) of ewa Agoyin?

Inalhamdulillah

Asalam Alaykum to my fellow muslims,

At-tatawwu', or nawafil or supererogatory prayers, have been legislated to make up for any deficiencies left in the performance of fard salah (obligatory prayers). In salah, there are virtues that are not found in any other form of worship.
Abu Hurairah reports that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "The first thing that the people will be called to account for on the Day of Resurrection will be the prayers. Our Lord will say to the angels although He knows better: 'Look into the salah of my servant to see if he observed it perfectly or been negligent in it. So if he observed it perfectly it will be recorded to his credit, but if he had been negligent in it in any way, Allah would say: See if My servant has any supererogatory prayers. Then if he has any supererogatory prayers, Allah would say: Make up the deficiency in My servant's obligatory prayer with his supererogatory prayers.' Thereafter all his actions will be examined in like manner" (Abu Dawud).
from Fiqh-us-Sunnah

I am not entirely sure about the isnad of this hadith but Sheikh Albani did not comment on its weakness or fabrication so I will assume that it is either Sahih (authentic) or hasan (good).

Inalhamdulillah

Asalam Alaykum to my fellow muslims,

If you know any new muslims that needs to pray that is still learning how to make solat and still memorising sura Fatiha as we know that there is no salat without sura Fatiha then he can recite takbir, tahmeed and tahlil. The evidences are below.

'Ibadah ibn as-Samit related that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "There is no prayer for one who does not recite the opening of the Book al-Fatihah)." This is related by "the group."

Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "Whoever prays a prayer and does not recite the opening chapter of the Qur'an has not prayed correctly." (Related by Ahmad, al-Bukhari and Muslim.) Ad-Daraqutni also recorded a hadith with a sahih chain with almost exactly the same wording.

Said Abu Sa'eed, "We were ordered to recite the opening chapter of the Qur'an and what (else) was easy (for us)." This is related by Abu Dawud. Al-Hafez and Ibn Sayyid an-Nass consider its chain as sahih.

Says al-Khattabi, "Basically, one's prayer does not suffice if he does not recite al-Fatihah. If one can recite neither al-Fatihah nor other portions of the Qur'an, he should recite at least seven verses of a similar meaning from the Qur'an. If he can not learn any part of the Qur'an (due to some innate inability, poor memory, or because it's a foreign language), he should say the tasbeeh (Subhaan Allah - Glory be to Allah), the tahmeed (al-Hamdu lillah - All praise is due to Allah), and tahleel (La ilaha illal-lah - There is no God except Allah). It is related that he said, "The best remembrance after the speech of Allah is Subhaan Allah, al-Hamdu lillah, La ilaha illal-lah and Allahu akbar." This is supported by Rafa'ah ibn Rafa', who narrated that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "If you have something from the Qur'an, recite it. If not, then say the tahmeed, takbir and the tahleel and then bow."

This hadith is related by Abu Dawud, at-Tirmizhi, an-Nasa'i and al-Baihaqi. The former considers it as hassan (good).

Ma Salama

Inn-lhamdulilah,

My fellow muslims Asalam Alaykum,

Oh no, you need read back in history, I didn't realise I was dealing with a disbeliever that has subjective views about islam.
The prophet’s marriage to Aisha at her young age was an exception and not a norm of his other marriages, although it was a norm in Biblical and Qur’anic times. Based on the culture at that time, no one saw anything wrong with the union between Muhammad (pbuh) and Aisha. The point is: Muhammad and Aisha lived in a society and culture that existed 1400 years ago, and we must not judge what he or others did based on the standards we have set today.

It is interesting to note that Aisha was already engaged to a man named Jubair Ibn al Mut’am inb ‘Adi before she become engaged to Muhammad (pbuh). Back then, society did not object to Aisha's engagement to Jubair. Jubair's parents broke the engagement because they feared that their son might convert to Islam. More importantly HER PARENTS ENGAGED HER EARLIER than the age of 6. If it was a problem then, would the parents give their child away before the age of 6 and then cancel the engagement and give her to someone else at the age of 6 and then marry her at the age of 9. If it was a great evil do you think anyone would be a muslim when the leader does something that does not conform with human standard and values. If it was a problem then that went against the bible why did the jews not condemn the wedding, they read the old testament and they believe a girl can marry at puberty. Why did the christians around that read the new testament did not object and deny his prophecy as a result of his action. It was a norm then to be bethroted at a really young age and marry later in the early teens or before.

"Marriage at the early years of puberty was acceptable in 7th century Arabia as it was the social norm in all Semitic cultures from the Israelites to the Arabs and all nations in between. Jim West, ThD, a Baptist minister, observes the following

The wife was to be taken from within the larger family circle (usually at the outset of puberty or around the age of 13) in order to maintain the purity of the family line".[4] [if you think i made it up go its link http://www.iidb.org/vbb/archive/index.php/t-76965.html]

If you take the time to study a little bit about the history of the tribes in South America, Middle East, Africa, India and the far eastern Oriental countries 1400 years ago, you would find that many tribes even until today (as shown in the Thai girl's and the 12-year old Romanian girl links below) allow the marriage of females at a very young age.

Check out the link about a girl in Thailand that was already married at the age of nine with a child.

It is strongly believed among Jews and Roman Catholics that Mary was 12 when she got pregnant with Jesus. According to the "Oxford Dictionary Bible" commentary, Mary (peace be upon her) was was 12 years old when she became impregnated.

Why don't you read your history and condemn your history and leave us muslims alone to live in peace.


I testify that there is god except Allah, I believe in all His messengers from Adam up to Muhammmad (peace be upon all of them) and I believe that they were sent with the truth

I ain't gat time for Islam haters, don't worry when the angel of death comes and you are buried in the grave you will answer to all the insults that you have been hauling at us muslims.

Inalhamdulillah

Asalam Alaykum,

When I said singling out I meant the sects that say they deny ahadith and hold on to only the Quran. The prophet (PBUH) prophesized that these sects will exist in his ummah. Subhanallah they do exist today.

Please let us exercise great care when we mention the things that prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did, if we accept that he is the nabi of Allah that is divinely inspired, his actions would certainly be protected from evil. Allah married Aisha to our nabi (PBUH) [he was shown to her in a dream, the dreams of prophets are revelation, ibrahim saw himself slaughtering his son in a dream] . Rasulullah (Peace be upon Him) said that we would learn half of our religion from her. She is one of the greatest narrators of hadith, open Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim or any collection of hadith you will realise this. There are so many ahadith that she narrated none of the mothers of the believers narrated as much hadith as she did. In fact no woman in the history of Islam narrated ahadith as she did. I believe without a doubt that there is wisdom in everything the nabi (PBUH) did because he was chosen by Allah to guide mankind. If you trust Allah know that he would select nothing but the best to guide His slaves.

On obedience to nabi (PBUH) and the commanders of the muslims that judge by Quran and sunnah

Bk 20, Number 4519:Sahih Muslim
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Whoso obeys
me obeys Allah; and whose disobeys me disobeys Allah. Whosoever obeys
my commander obeys me, and whoso disobeys my commander disobeys me.

Quran 4:59 and ayat 65

On stickingh to the Jam'ah

It has been narrated on the authority of Hudhaifa b. al−Yaman
who said: People used to ask the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) about the good times, but I used to ask him about
bad times fearing lest they overtake me. I said: Messenger of
Allah, we were in the midst of ignorance and evil, and then
God brought us this good (time through Islam). Is there any
bad time after this good one? He said: Yes. I asked: Will
there be a good time again after that bad time? He said: Yes,
but therein will be a hidden evil. I asked: What will be the
evil hidden therein? He said: (That time will witness the rise
of) the people who will adopt ways other than mine and seek
guidance other than mine. You will know good points as well as
bad points. I asked: Will there be a bad time after this good
one? He said: Yes. (A time will come) when there will be
people standing and inviting at the gates of Hell. Whoso
responds to their call they will throw them into the fire. I
said: Messenger of Allah, describe them for us. He said: All
right. They will be a people having the same complexion as
ours and speaking our language. I said: Messenger of Allah,
what do you suggest if I happen to live in that time? He said:
You should stick to the main body of the Muslims and their
leader. I said: If they have no (such thing as the) main body
and have no leader? He said: Separate yourself from all these
factions, though you may have to eat the roots of trees (in a
jungle) until death comes to you and you are in this state.[/color]

Asalam Alaykum,

I learnt recently that when you make ablution you can wipe over your shoes instead of taking it iff to wipe your socks in accordance with the sunnah. Wallahi Allah The most Great has made the religion easy for us.
Also I would encourage all muslims to adhere strictly to Quran and sunnah because singling one out is not permissible, the sunnah explains the Quran. The Quran mentions Soalt but the sunnah teaches us how to perform the prayer, it talks about hajj and the sunnah explains the rituals of hajj. I know there are some preople who sdhere strictly to the Quran and deny hadith what would you then say about this ayat in the Quran 3:31-32. If you deny following ahadith then know that you have disobeyed your LOrd. There are so many ayats in the Quran that obligates us to follow the sunnah so please lets hold on to the Quran and the sunnah with our molar teeth in order to attain success in the hereafter.

Jazakumullahu Khayran (May Allah reward you all with good)
