Assalam 3alikum guys.   This email mainly concerns men (more than women) But in the same time it might be interesting for them to know about this.   During the last 4 years(and it turned out throught many years), one of the issues that kept popping up in discussions between guys, in mosques, in jordan and USA, and throught the net in many sites,  is the issue of "al-isbal" (the state when... [read more]

While searching through my emails I came upon a very nice dialog between me and one of my best friends.   I sent an email for a fatwa which shows one of "maqased al sharee3a". The fatwa itself talks about paying zakat al fitr by money. I wasn't interested in the fatwa itself but i was more interested in reasoning of the fatwa and how it touches upon "maqased al sharee3a".   Then a friend... [read more]

I wrote this as an email to one of my friends. I thought it's useful to share it in this blog....   ya hala my friend,   It was really nice to hear from you again.

And I can feel that from... [read more]

I read the following article/khatera as a comment posted on alarabiya.net website. I liked it so i thought sharing it with you guys. It was posted with the name "Iraq" by "Iraq". Read it slowly.   It's great to hear and read such articles... this strengthens and revives my eman... It took me away from "the comfortable chair and the top notch laptop with a delicious nescafe" scene. Many times... [read more]

I and some friends were discussing how much "islamic" our muslim countries are. And if someone asks you whether your country is "mutadeyyeneh" or not how would you evaluate the "islamicity" of our countries.   Intuitively you would think of how many people go to mosques and how many women wear hijab. Then you broaden your evaluation to see whether the law system in your country is based on... [read more]

This might not interest a lot of you.

I was reading through articles for the great muslim scholar and intellect Dr.mohd 3amara. He writes articles and put them in amrkhaled.net website. while i was doing so, i came a cross a forum in the same website talking about "reading books".   The goal of this forum is to encourage muslims to read more because no evolution and no revolution could exist unless we start reading books more than... [read more]

بعيدا عن الحماس الزائد والخطب الرنانة نريد أن نعرف رأي الفقهاء فيما حدث في فلسطين ولبنان هل هذه القتل والتدمير والتخريب والشهداء الذي ذهبوا من أجل أسير واحد أو عدة أسرى جائز ؟ أما كان الأولى لحزب الله المقامة في فلسطين أن يخلو عن الأسرى ويجنبوا أنفسهم هذه الويلات وهل يتناسب هذا التدمير مع ما جناه المقاومون من مكاسب ؟؟ http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?cid=1122528620960&pagename=IslamOnline-Arabic-Ask_Scholar%2FFatwaA%2FFatwaAAskTheScholar       هل... [read more]

Couple of days ago I have been involved in a discussion where some praised the "ghandy method" in an indication that violence in fighting israel is not the only way. Other ways might be more useful.   Today i read an article (entitled: assu'udeyya wa al ghandy al falasteeny) by Abd al Bari Atwan talking about the same subject and I thought it might be interesting to share it with you guys. ... [read more]

The following article supports hamas in its rejection of the peace process with israel. It proves (from the perspectives of muslim scholars) how the peace process negates many rules in islam which makes it unequivocally clear that such a process should not be accepted from an islamic point of view. I found it important to forward this article to others because many muslims believe that by peace with... [read more]

The Sunnah of All the Prophets |Sheikh Salman al-Oadah|   I remember meeting a young man in al-Masjid al-Harâm once during the month of Ramadan. He had come to Mecca to perform `umrah. He was wearing a white turban and had hair falling past his shoulders. He wore a short robe that may possibly have reached to halfway down his shins. Above that robe he wore a black shirt that bore some... [read more]

التهافت.. حد السقوط في التناقض توجان فيصل لسنا في مجال الدفاع عن نواب الحركة الإسلامية الذين تم اعتقالهم دون غيرهم ممن ذهب للتعزية بالزرقاوي, فإذا كان هؤلاء على حق في كونهم يشكلون فعلاً غالبية ساحقة على الساحة الأردنية, فهم أقدر على الدفاع عن أنفسهم, بل وجعل الحكومة تعتذر. ولسنا معنيين لا بتوزيع تهم التكفير ولا نياشين الشهادة, فقد كنا أول... [read more]

Since leaving the prayer entirely has been a big issue between the scholars. Most scholars (al jumhoor) say it's a great sin, and the others say he is kafer if he left it entirely, and this enatails not praying on him when he's dead and not burrying him in muslim graveyards...etc.   The following link uncovers a hidden and practical view for how the umma dealt with muslims who left the prayer... [read more]

PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF ALLAH (SWT)TO AN ATHEIST by Dr. Zakir Naik CONGRATULATING AN ATHEIST Normally, when I meet an atheist, the first thing I like to do is to congratulate him and say, " My special congratulations to you", because most of the people who believe in God are doing blind belief - he is a Christian, because his father is a Christian; he is a Hindu, because his father... [read more]

In the United Nations, five countries (called the Permanent Members of the Security Council) can veto a United Nations resolution.

A nice article by dr.mohd al ashqar about "Atteb annabawi".

Assalam 3alikum all.   Although this email might be tailored towards our muslim sisters, but i thought we all have sisters who are willing to walk in the path of pleasing God, this is why i forwarded this email to everyone, brothers and sisters.   During many conversations with many guys in Jordan and US, the issue of hijab pops up.
