A Sahabi (Companion) is that Muslim who has assisted in the holy court of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) - in the Holy Prophet's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) presence - and has passed away from this world with faith. All Sahabis are of praise and are pious. They are also sincere in their Islamic judgement and in their Islamic actions. When there is talk of a Sahabi, it is compulsory that it be with praise. To have bad beliefs for any of the Sahabis is mis-guidance and belonging to the wrong sect. To speak ill of the dignity of Hazrat Amir Mua'awiya, Hazrat Amr Bin Aas, Hazrat Wahshi (radi Allahu anhum), etc. is to curse them and this is a Shi'ite belief. According to Islamic Jurists, to insult Hazrat Shaikhain (Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Farouk-e-Azam � radi Allahu anhum) or to reject their position as Caliphs is infidelity. Regardless of how high a rank a Wali is, they would never reach the grade of a Sahabi. The battle between Hazrat Ali ...

Some people believe that Allah Ta'ala is "Omnipresent", that is, Allah Ta�ala is Present and Over-looking at every time and at every place. They believe Allah Ta�ala to be "Haazir" and "Naazir". his is not true, as Allah Ta'ala is not bound by time and space. Allah Ta'ala is Present and Seeing from eternity without time and without space. Allah Ta'ala's Attributes, namely, Life, Knowledge, Power and Speech, are without time and without place, so are Allah Ta�ala�s other attributes. Allah Ta'ala's Attributes always exists and will continue to exist till eternity. There is a great difference between Allah Ta'ala being Present and the souls of His creation being present. No one is present like Allah Ta'ala being Present. The Angels, the souls of Prophets, the souls of the Awliya Allah and the souls of pious Muslims are present at any place where they are called. They were non-existent, before being present. T...

The Holy Prophet (Salallaho Alaihi Wasallam) is a Unique Human Being Some people believe the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to be a human being just like any other human being. The Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama'at believes that besides being Noor (light), the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is a most unique and perfect human being. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is "Rahmatul lil Alameen". He is the only creation of Allah Ta'ala who has been given this title and no other creation can be given this title. Allah Ta'ala says in the Holy Quran: "And I have not sent you but as Mercy unto the Worlds". (Part 17 Ruku 7) The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated: "Every Nabi only comes towards his people and I have been sent unto all nations. I have been sent as a Messenger unto the entire creation." (Mishkaat Shareef; Sahih Muslim Shareef) In the Holy Quran it has been stated th...

Azaan (The Call to Prayer) To give the Azaan for Namaaz is proven from the Holy Quran-e-Majeed. Almighty Allah says in the Glorious Quran: "And when you call the Azaan for Salaah". The Ulema have stated that to give Azaan for the five daily Salaah including Jummah Salaah, is Sunnat-e-Mu'akadah and if the Azaan is not given by anyone, then the people of the entire area are sinners individually. With the exception of the Fardh Namaaz, there is no Azaan for the two Eids, Witr, Janazah Salaah or any Nafil Salaah. The time for Azaan is the same time as that of Namaaz. It is not permissible to give any Azaan before the time of that particular Salaah. One who gives the Azaan must be a Sunni Sahihul Aqeedah person who is in his proper sense of mind. If Azaan is given without Wudhu, it will be complete, but it is not correct to do so. It is not permissible for a person who is in an impure state, an insane person, an intoxicated person or a Faasiq (open sinner) to call ...

Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran, "And to every nation we have appointed acts of devotion (sacrifice) that they may mention the name of Allah on what He has given them of the cattle quadrupeds; and your God is one God, therefore to Him should you submit, and give good news to the humble whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, and those who are patient under that which afflicts them". The act of sacrificing an animal is regarded as affecting the heart, as it is connected with righteousness, with submission to Allah, with humbleness of the heart, and patience under sufferings. So when one slaughters with the proper accompanying Intention and not for the sole purpose of eating the flesh on this occasion, one is again complying with the laws in the Holy Quran and completes yet another of the pillars of Islam. The animal sacrificed is symbolic of the animal in man (man's nature). So, when he slaughters, he is reminded of the necessity to eliminate that ...

INTRODUCTION: Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran, Chapter 22 Verse 34 :"And to every nation we have appointed acts of devotion (sacrifice) that they may mention the name of Allah on what He has given them of the cattle quadrupeds; and your God is one God, therefore to Him should you submit, and give good news to the humble whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, and those who are patient under that which afflicts them".

OME IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS ABOUT ZABAH The knife for Zabah has to be sharpened to the optimum, and the slaughter should be carried out quickly and effectively to minimise the suffering sustained by the animal. The throat of the Qurbani animal should be cut in a manner to ensure that the gullet, the wind pipe and the two external jugular veins are severed.It is Makrooh to severe the entire neck including the vertebrae. At least 3 of the four vessels mentioned above ought to be severed to meet Shari'ah requirements of proper Zabah. Every effort should be made to ensure that animals are not slaughtered in the presence of other live animals. In the process of slaughtering, the knife should be concealed till the moment of slaughter and the animal should be placed such that it allows the person slaughtering the animal to face Qibla, as this is Mustahab. The skinning of the slaughtered animal and dismembering of body parts should not commence until the animal's carca...
