10 Things U should know!

[E'jaazi]

Here is a short list of things all Muslims should know. These are subjects that Muslims debate over, but the evidence for these things in the Qu'ran and the Hadiths is clear, and I will be willing to post the evidence from the Scholars themselves.

1) It is haram for men to shave their beards!

2) Men have a dress code also. In short, follow the sunnah, be modest, and ALL garments must be above the ankles!

3) Women must be covered. Niqab is obligatory for the women according to the strongest of Scholarly opinions.

4) Interest (Riba) is haram in any form. It is haram to pay it, collect it, and witness it!

5) Pictures are haram. The only exception is the one made by the Scholars for things like drivers license, work ID and the like. Things we cannot avoid.

6) Music is haram! Remember, when people disagree about a thing, we are told to refer it back to Allah and His Messenger (Salallahu Alayhe wa Sallam) and therefore, the answer is still, music is haram!

7) The rows for prayer should be close and straight. It is shoulder to shoulder and foot to foot. The evidence for this is clear and there is no other evidence to go against it.

8) Imitation of the Kuffar is haram. It is also haram to celebrate their holidays and worship with them.

9) Intermingling of the sexes is strictly forbidden!

10) The Prophet (Salallahu Alayhe wa Sallam) said that he left 2 things for us to cling to: The Qu'ran and his Sunnah. Therefore we must follow both. Allah has commanded us to obey the Messenger (Salallahu Alayhe wa Sallam). So the hadiths, which explain the Sunnah, are essential in this deen.

May Allah Guide us all.

It's sad that people ignore the sunnah. Especially on topics like these.

I heard Dr. Zakir say that its Ok - with which I agree as well, that its ok to cover your ankles during winter.

Could someone please explain why keeping beard in Must? and not a Sunnat?

I can only name about two mosques i've vsitied where they practise this, and I try to exercise this when i attend mosques/prayer rooms, but only a handful of ppl do with me and i'd say 10% of muslims i've prayed with do this. If this is in your 10 haram list, surely it should be a mukrooh or lesser sin, cuz a majority of muslims on this basis are getting it wrong.

This is because many people do not study the Sunnah, nor do they have a desire to do so. Also, many Muslims have put their culture before the Sunnah! And many of them follow a Sheik or blindly follow one of the 4 Imams, without doing research. Here is an example: Those who follow the Hanafi Madhab, (I used to be one) wipe the backo of their necks when they make wudu. But this is noe part of the Sunnah. When I went back and read the hadiths I had gotten when I followed that madhab, I did not find one hadith that said to wipe the back of your neck. Another example is the raisinf of the hands in prayer. There is one hadith that says someone other than the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhe wa Sallam) raised his hands only at the beginning of the prayer. This person (I can't remember the name) was suppose someone who prayed close to the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhe wa Sallam) and therefore seen as someone who would not make that mistake. But even it it were true, there are about 21 othere authentic hadiths (you can read them in Bukhari) that state the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhe wa Sallam) raised his hands at the start of prayer, before ruku, when rising from ruku, when standing back up, etc. So you see, it is all a matter of studying. It is alot easier now because of all the resources available via the internet. I am not speaking badly about anyone who follows a Madhab, but simply saying that you should do your research and find out more about the Sunnah.
