A BBC news report on 26/2/2008 on radio and on-line reported that the Department of Religious Affairs at Ankara University Turkey was preparing to carry out a fundamental revision of the Hadith, citing that it would be “a revolutionary reinterpretation of Islam - and a controversial and radical modernisation of the religion. The directorate's deputy director says that the BBC report misportrayed their work, speaking with Zaman on Wednesday , Dr. Mehmet Görmez, the directorate's deputy director, said: "Our project is not aimed at effecting a radical renewal of the religion, as is claimed by the BBC. Our objective is to help our citizens attain a better understanding of the hadith. Though I underlined several times during our interview with a BBC reporter that our project cannot be considered a reformation of Islam, he distorted the facts, saying Turkey is preparing to publish a document that represents a revolutionary reinterpretation of Islam -- and a controversial and ra

Readers are suggested to read the passage in perspective to the vilification of Islam by its enemies and the growth of Islamic spirit in Muslims . In the Name of Allah, The most Beneficent, The most Merciful Islam thrives in adversities. So, thank you adversaries, for your actions are helping us to move almost effortlessly in uniting the Muslim world under the umbrella of a single Khalifah. Had you not been so aggressive in opposing Islam, our work would have been that bit laborious. Apart from the help we are getting from you, we derive the conviction in the correctness of our path and the frailty of yours. The desperation of Erdogan(s) and Bush(s) around the world is too evident to be concealed. The most docile and unassuming Muslim is sitting up and asking, "What is it that the enemy is dead afraid of us? Which is that power in us that we have ourselves not recognized yet, while the enemy has morbid fear?" The answers to these prying questions presume that Islam is a p

Twelve cartoons, first published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten on September 30th 2005, satirised the prophet Muhammad and were received negatively by Muslims in Denmark and throughout the world. Muslims generally perceived them to be derogatory and took the insult as an attack upon Islam. Protests were organised all over the world, and serious violence occurred at a number of them: embassies were ransacked and western institutions and property in the Muslim world bore the brunt of these expressions of anger. Other forms of protest included economic boycotts of Danish companies leading to considerable financial loss for the companies affected, which formerly had a substantial market investment in the Muslim world. Regardless of the nature of the Muslim expressions of anger, many westerners were incredulous. The extent and universality of Muslim anger were to them very surprising. Why, they asked, should Muslims be so upset by harmless cartoons that should not have hurt anybody

The following is a useful Q&A published in Khilafah Magazine many years ago. Question: Are Muslims allowed to buy fresh or canned meat from Jews, Christians, Hindus and other non-Muslims? And are Muslims allowed to buy canned meat for pets? Answer: Despite the fact that this issue is not crucial to the Ummah, it is something that Muslims always worry about, especially people living and studying in the non-Muslim countries. It is high time that Muslims learnt the verdict of tadhkiya or dhabiha (slaughtering), in order to develop a clear understanding and put a halt to the confusion which government scholars have created. Tadhkiya in Shari‘ah terminology means the slaughtering of animals. Muslims are forbidden from eating the meat of an animal unless it has been properly slaughtered according to the Shari‘ah rules. The four conditions that must be met to make the meat halal are: 1. The slaughterer must be a Muslim, or be from the People of the Book (a Christian or a Jew). It is forbi

The following is a translation from Arabic. Question: Is it allowed to make Hajj on the behalf of your parents if they were unable to perform Hajj due to illness or if they have passed away? Also is it permitted to perform it on the behalf of another Muslim due to the same reasons? Answer: It is correct in the Sharee’ah for a son to make hajj on behalf of his father or mother who are unable to make Hajj or are not alive. This is due to the hadith narrated on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas who said: A woman from Khath’am came to the Messenger (saw) in the year of the farewell Hajj (hijjatul wida’) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (saw)! The obligation of Hajj enjoined by Allah on His servants has become due on my father and he is old and weak, and he cannot sit firm on the Mount; may I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Prophet (saw) replied, "Yes, you may.’ [Reported by Bukhari] : عن ابن عباس قال: «جاءت امرأة من خثعم عام حجة الوداع، قالت: يارسول الله: إن فريضة الله على عباده في ا
