Salam alaikum, I converted to Islam approximately one year ago. a few months ago i read about Dr. Bilal Philipps' opinion that the Tashahhud should be shirk. Now my questions: 1. is the tashahhud really obligatory in prayer and does skipping it nullify the prayer ? 2. this was a question...
My query is in reference to verses 142-145 of Baqrah. They provide the directive regarding change in direction of Qiblah, they state the prophet to change the direction from bait ul maqdas to masjid ul Haraam. My understanding is that prophet pbuh was a follower of deen i ibrahimi prior to...
For example, Abdullah Yusuf Ali equated, not interest but, usury with riba and wrote in his highly acclaimed translation and commentary of the Qur'an. "usury is condemned and prohibited in the strongest possible terms. There can be no question about the prohibition. When we come to the...
Why would God create a man without a father and make him a prophet for mankind to follow? Did God intend on proving a point or was he testing humanity on their faith?

The word is mentioned several times in Quran. People define it as "fear ALLAH" but I know it's beyond than that. Then, what is exactly the Taqwa? And who is the Taqi?

Here is a simple observation for your consideration. We all know Muhammad worshiped for a long time facing Jerusalem .. My question is who told Him to face the Jerusalem and why ? If it was Allah then why He changed his mind later and gave Muhammad permission to worship Kabaa, which is by the...

Regarding fasting in Ramadan. I have noticed that the time at which you have to stop eating (say 3am as on the 12th August) is different to the time the Sun rises (5.30am). Why is there such a difference in time. Surely, even to stop eating 30 min before sunrise is possible.
http://arabicgems.wordpress.com/2008/04/11/a-runaway-slave/ al-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullāh, The Story of Prophet Yunus in the Qur’an is told only briefly in Surah al-Anbiya and Surah Saffat, although he is referred to elsewhere, such as al-Qalam. In brief, he was sent to a people whose...

It is unlawful for a believer to kill a believer except if it happens by accident. And he who kills a believer accidentally must free one Muslim slave and pay Diyat to the heirs of the victim except if they forgive him. If the victim is a Muslim belonging to a people at enmity with you, the freeing...
Salaam, I'm pretty new to this site and are not so sure how it works. If any part of this question is inapproriate please forgive me. Most people in this world will at some point ask themselves, why were we created? what will happen once we're dead? how should we live this life? so on and so...
