*Whose Father is He?*

 *Whose Father is He?*

 ```A needy came asking for food. I told him to come around to the back door and asked him to sit on the floor while I went in to bring the left over food. 

I brought him food & said, let's pray. Now repeat after me, "Our FATHER in Heaven". He said, "Your Father in Heaven". I said."No, say OUR FATHER in Heaven". He again said,  "Your Father in Heaven"!!! 

This extremely Irritated me! I

asked why do you say 'Your' father when I say 'Our' FATHER?' 

He said, "Sir, it's like this. If I say Our FATHER, then we both become brothers. If we are brothers, you would invite me in through the front door and not the back; you would ask me to sit at your dining table not on the floor; you'd also not give me stale food! Sir, somehow it's not possible that we are sons of the same father"!  

He may be your Father, but he can't be OUR father! 

Whose FATHER is He?

It took a beggar to teach me the truth!!!```

 *GOD becomes our FATHER when we treat one another as brothers and sisters.*

WHILE AN ACHIEVEMENT HUMBLES AN INDIVIDUAL, IT MAKES ANOTHER ARROGANT. BY SHAYKH UMAR DADA PAIKO.

WHILE AN ACHIEVEMENT 

HUMBLES AN INDIVIDUAL, 

 IT MAKES ANOTHER

 ARROGANT. 

While an achievement humbles an individual, it makes another arrogant. Worse still, some are arrogant with a visible reason, whether wrong or wrong. 

Ibnu Hibbaan reported in his book ATTAQAASEEMU WAL ANWAA', known more as SAHEEH IBNI HIBBAAN that the Prophet, alaihiSSalaam said:

Amongst the banee Israa-eel, there were two people who boasted thus

First Person: I am the son of so and so, The grandson of so and so, till he mentioned nine generations of his ancestors 

Second Person: I am the son of my father and he is the son of Islaam 

Allaah sent Moosaa, alaihiSSalaam to them to convey Allaah's message that

"the first person had boasted of nine people who will all go to hell and he(first person)is their tenth! 

The second person had boasted of two inhabitants of Jannah and he is their third"

Albaanee authenticated this hadeeth in silsilatul ahaadeeth assaheehah. 

Brothers and sisters, we are from a drop of a liquid we consider a filth. Meaning our background is humble. Our worldly achievements, lineage, countenance, natural endowments, ethnicity, complexion or even 'bluebloodedness' are silly reasons to be arrogant. 

If you are rich, know it's not strictly dependent on your industry or superior intelligence. You know there are billions of better people who are less advantaged than you. 

A poet says:

إذا امتلأت كف اللءيم من الغنى 

تمايل إعجابا وقال انا انا

ولكن كريم الأصل كالغصن كلما

تحمل أثمارا تواضع وانحنى 

If a blameworthy person's palm is filled with (earthly) wealth

They become full of arrogance and say "I am, I am

But they of noble root are like tree branch, each time

They bear fruits, they humbly squat "

 "فإن  صلى خلف من يظن أنه مسلم ثم علم أنه كافر، أو أنه عابث، أو أنه لم يبلغ؛فصلاته تامة لأنه لم يكلفه الله تعالى معرفة ما في قلوب الناس. وقد قال عليه السلام:

"لم أبعث لأشق عن قلوب الناس وإنما كلفنا ظاهر أمرهم."

.....

"وأما من تأول في بعض ما يوجب الوضوء فلم ير الوضوء منه:فالإ ءتمام به جاءز"~الإمام ابن حزم في المحلى، كتاب الصلوة، المسألة  ٤١٢.

"And if one performs salaat behind someone he thought was a Muslim but later realised he(the Imaam) was a Kaafir or that he is playful in his Salaat or that the Imaam is a minor, his Salaat is complete because Allaah Has not compelled him to search out  people's thought.

And He (sallAllaahu alaihi wa aalihee wa sallam):

"لم أبعث لأشق على قلوب الناس، وإنما كلفنا ظاهر أمرهم."

"I have not been sent to pry into people's thoughts, we have only been compelled to judge them using their outward appearance."

But as for one who interprets an act  that vitiates ablution and opines that it doesn't nullify it, it is permissible to pray behind him."

~Ibnu Hazmin in Almuhallaa, article412."

It is known that the staunch Maalikiyyah scholars do not say BISMILLAAH before reciting faatihah in salaat. Ordinarily, salaat is null and void without faatihah and faatihah includes BISMILLAAH. However, we pray behind them because they misinterpreted some ahaadeeth in which the companions will say: he (sallAllaahu alaihi wa aalihee wa sallam) wasn't heard reciting BISMILLAAH before faatihah in salaat. The ahaadeeth were talking about reciting it aloud but many Maalikiyya generalise the exclusion whether in the salawaat in which recitation is aloud or otherwise. 

The fact that they rely on their (mis)interpretation of an authentic hadeeth is one reason why we pray behind them.

It is important to reflect on this!

سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشهد أن لاإله إلا أنت أستغفرك وأتوب إليك.

Jesus is mentioned several times in the Quran than Prophet Muhammad is an indication of his superiority over Prophet Muhammad. By Ustaaz ITOPA, SADIQ OBIYO

 Jesus is mentioned several times in the Quran than Prophet Muhammad is an indication of his superiority over Prophet Muhammad.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

  Allah, the Dependable God, says, “those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, were not going to depart (from their ways) until there should come to them Clear Evidence.[1]”

He, Allah, continues: “And they have been commanded no more than this: To worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular prayer; and to practice regular charity; and that is the Religion Right and Straight.[2]”

It is therefore sardonically ridiculous that despite this clear and simple commandment of God as present in both Qur’an and their book, the Christians engage themselves with this fiddling issue. Notwithstanding, the question, as jejune as it is, can be responded to thus:

WHY IS THE NAME JESUS (PBUH) REPLETE IN THE GLORIOUS QURAN

A lot of controversies, misunderstandings, mis-presentation of facts etc. trail the personality of Jesus (PBUH) and his mother, Mary. Below are some of the wrong beliefs of the people of the book in respect to Jesus (PBUH) and his mother, Mary:

·        According to the Christians Jesus (PBUH) and Mary are Gods.

·        According to the Christians Jesus (PBUH) is the son of God.

·   According to the Christians, Jesus (PBUH) didn’t prophesize the coming of Prophet Muhammad.

Warning Against the Fitnah of Takfeer By the Muhadith, Allama, Ash-Shaykh Muhammad Nasir ud-Deen al-Albaani. Part 4(final part)

 Making Takfeer of Sinners is not Allowed

So every type of sin and specifically what is widespread in this time from what is regarded as permissible actions, such as interest, illegal sexual relations, drinking alcohol amongst them, all of these are kufr of action. So it is not allowed for us to make Takfeer of the sinners- who have been deceived by some of these sins - just because they have perpetrated a sin and regarded it as permissible actions for themselves! Except if it becomes apparent to us – with certainty – and it is unveiled with what is in the depths of their ownselves that from their Aqeedah they do not prohibit what Allaah and His Messenger have prohibited. So, if we know they have fallen into this opposition with their hearts, then we can judge that they have committed kufr, the kufr of apostasy. And if we don’t know this, then there is no way for us to judge them with kufr, because we fear we will fall into the threat of the saying of his - SallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam - : 

“If a man says to his brother: ‘Oh kaffir! Indeed it returns to one of them.’
