Proof of the existence of five days prayer from Holy Quran.

Notwithstanding the above we shall furnish proof from several verses of The Holy Quran wherein the five salaawat are mentioned.

* Verse 114, Surah Hūd: “And establish salaah at the two ends of the day and during the close moments of the night” – The “two ends” of the day, referred to as tarafayin-nahaar mean the start and end of the day. Undoubtedly, this refers to Fajr and Asr salaah, because sunrise and sunset are the two ends of daylight and both these prayers are offered before sunrise and sunset. Further, these two prayers are the closest to the start and end of a day. The “close moments of the night” – zulafan minal-layl – mean the time close to sunset, and this is a reference to the Maghrib and Esha salaah, for both these prayers are read after sunset and not very late into the night. So these are ‘moments that are close to daylight’. From this verse four prayers are established, viz. Fajr, Asr, Maghrib, and Eshaa.

* Verse 78, Surah Israa or Bani Israeel: “Establish salaah when the sun moves from its zenith, until the darkness of the night, and (establish) the recitation of Fajr. Verily the recitation of Fajr is witnessed (by Angels)” In this verse all five prayers are referred to, especially when one reads this in conjunction with verse 114 of Surah Hūd. The prayer offered at the time of zawaal or when the sun moves past its zenith is Thuhr salaah. At this point we have proof of all five salaah: from verse 114 of Surah Hūd we have Fajr, Asr, Maghrib and Eshaa, and Thuhr salaah is proven from the above verse (78/Israa). This verse goes on to command the performance of salaah from midday right until the darkness of the night. This obviously includes Asr, Maghrib, and Eshaa, for the latter prayer is offered when it is already dark. Thereafter the verse speaks of the recitation of Fajr, a clear reference to Fajr salaah. In this one verse all five salawaat are encapsulated.

* Verse 238, Surah Al-Baqarah: “Safeguard all the salaawat, especially the middle salaah…..” The term ‘salawaat’ is plural for salaah, and the alif and taa at the end signify that this plural applies to any number above three. When read in conjunction with the above verses, and one has to do so because of the harmonious relation of the Quranic verses, it emerges that there are five and not three salawaat. The middle salaah which has been singled out for special mention is salaatul-Asr, as mentioned in many Commentaries on The Holy Quran.

* Verse 130, Surah Taha: “… And recite the praises of Your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting, and also recite during the hours of the night and the ends of the day…” The reference to Fajr and Asr are quite evident in this verse, and the end of the day will refer to Maghrib, whilst Eshaa is included in the ‘hours of the night’. Thuhr salaah may also be included in the time before sunset. Also note that in the terminology of the Quran, reciting praises of Allah mean offering salaah. Even if one excludes Thuhr prayers from this verse, it still emerges that at least four faradh salawaat are mentioned herein.

The above verses quite conclusively and beyond all doubt prove that more than three salaah are faradh upon every member of this Ummat

Establishing proof and evidence that Mecca is Macoraba.

  1)MACORABA MACORABA  ( Μακοράβα ), an inland city of Arabia Felix, placed by Ptolemy in lat. 73° 20′, long. 22°, universally admitted to be the ancient classical representative of the modern  Mekka  or  Mecca,  which Mr. Forster holds to be an idiomatic abbreviation of Machoraba, identical with the Arabic “Mecharab,” “the warlike city,” or “the city of the Harb.” ( Geog. of Arabia,  vol. i. pp. 265, 266.) A very high antiquity is claimed for this city in the native traditions, but the absence of all authentic notices of it in the ancient geographers must be allowed to disprove its claim to notoriety on account of its sanctity at any very remote period. The territory of  Mekka  was, according to universal Arabian history or tradition, the central seat of the kingdom of Jorham and the Jorhamites, descendants of the Joktanite patriarch Sherah, the Jerah of the book of Genesis (10.26), who in the earliest times were the sovereigns of Mekka, the...

Hadeeth does not permit umm al walad

Selling an Umm Walad (a slave who has given birth to a child of her owner) is not permitted according to the vast majority of the jurists. This includes the madhab of the sahaba such as Umar, Usman, Ali (one or earlier opinion), Ibn Abbas (one report), Aisha, Ibn Masud. And this is the view of the four Sunni madhabs: Malikis, Hanafis, Shafi'is and Hanbalis. You are most likely only aware of this madhab since it is the predominant opinion. The evidence for this madhab includes among other things the following hadith: نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن بيع أمهات الأولاد , لا يبعن ولا يوهبن ولا يورثن , يستمتع بها سيدها ما بدا له فإذا مات فهي حرة The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the sale of the (slave) mothers of one's children, they can not be sold, nor gifted, nor inherited. The master will make use of her while he is alive and when he dies she shall be free. — Sunan al-Daraqutni Nevertheless there is minority opinion that holds their sale as permitted. This has been reported fr...

Did umar ibn al khattab(ra) prohibited hajj tamattu and nikah mutah?(Is Hajj al tamattu same like nikah al mutah)

The word Mut’ah is very versatile in its application. In a technical sense it may apply to a temporary marriage. It is also used to describe a format of Hajj where the pilgrim dons the ihram during the months of Hajj with the intention of ‘Umrah. After completion of ‘Umrah a new intention is undertaken, this time for Hajj.The literal meaning of word 'Mutah' is 'enjoyment.The "mut'ah of Hajj" means ("hajj al-tamattu", meaning "joy of Hajj")the relaxation of the ihram ("sacred state") between the Umrah and Hajj, including its dress code and various prohibitions.Hajj tamattu‘ means entering ihram for ‘umrah only during the months of Hajj – the months of Hajj are Shawwaal, Dhu’l-Qa‘dah and Dhu’l-Hijjah – so when entering ihram for it, one should say: “Labbayk ‘umratan (Here I am for ‘umrah).”  Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said, describing ‘umrah of tammatu‘:  When the pilgrim reaches the miqaat, she should do gh...
