Re: What does Islam say about people fearing death ?

It's easy to overcome when you know with certainty that the message is true, and that paradise is true,
And after seeing some of the misguidance of Satan and his government, you long for paradise away from the filth and decadence.
And regarding dying in battle or getting killed by a drone - thereby achieving martyrdom - I'm sure many seeing someone go through the pangs of death would agree that dying in battle and relaxing at judgement is far more comfortable than 1. Dying. 2. The trial of the grave. 3. The terror of the looooooong day of judgement,
And then sirat. 4. A lower status.

It is due to a feeling of attachment to the world and family that we are often made to see death as scary - to the extent that some won't even speak out in the face of extreme tyranny due to fear of death - thereby enslaving future generations.
In my opinion it can be overcome by learning to love good and hate evil,
Studying the descriptions of paradise and hell
Remembering that we all die anyways
Develop an unbridled desire to gain freedom from tyrants - whatever the costs.
Study characters like Khalid ibn al waleed (ra)
Peace

People should fear about death,that will keep you on right path .
We should atleast remember death once every day and how I spend whole day i.e righteous deed or not.

We should not fear death, but we should fear facing God, to have faith and trust in God we have to do something.

In the spirit of searching

Should sins be made public or kept secret ?

If a person does a major sin like Adultery/Homosexuality/Drinking should the sinner tell people they did this so they will be punished or should they keep their sin/sins secret ? What does the Holy Quran and the Hadith say should sins be made public or kept secret ? The reason Im asking this is because many Christians tell their Priests their sins.
 
Re: Should sins be made public or kept secret ?

asalaam alaykoum

In Islam, you should NOT divulge/reveal your sins to ANYONE. That also means if you know about someone else's sin, that you should keep it a secret. Allah SWT is All Knowing and He sees everything that you do, so there is no need to declare it publicly. Repent to Allah, ask for forgiveness, and ask for Allah to protect you from sinning in the future.

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say, "All of my ummah may be forgiven except those who commit sin openly. It is a kind of committing sin openly if a man does something at night, then morning comes and Allah has concealed his sin, but he says 'O So and So, I did such and such last night' when his Lord has concealed him (his action) all night but in the morning he reveals that which Allah had concealed for him." [Al Bukhari 5721, Muslim 2990]

Is watching Television/TV allowed in Islam ?

Is watching Television/TV allowed in Islam ? I know photo taking pictures is not allowed but is photo taking ever allowed for any reason but is TV allowed ?
 
Re: Is watching Television/TV allowed in Islam ?

Greetings of peace

Using your time wisely is allowed in Islam, wasting your time is not. So if you can or are able to prevent yourself from watching something on Tv which you should not be looking at, then do so, but if that is difficult, keep away as it is very dangerous for you. However, If you think you know that whatever you are watching is bad, but you think you are strong and you will fight it, this is just a trick of shaytaan. Shaytaan is cunning and has many ways to get you occupied in using this 'time' of yours unwisely. If this thing is taking you far away from the remembrance of Allaah, focusing in your salaah, stay far away from that act or place, avoid it much.

I am sure this can be applied to anything you use.. the internet itself can be a tool of bad use, including other things. We have to be careful how we use it. But sometimes some things are full of soo much bad it is difficult to avoid, we have to find alternatives because there are alternatives out there and not one use of equipment to get to something, this is so it becomes easy upon you and Allaah SWT only wants ease for you, but unfortunate it is many decide to choose the hard way when the easy route is available.

Therefore, stuff like benefited documentaries, Islamic lectures, recitation of the Qur'aan etc there is nothing against listening to/watching this. As it is of benefit to ones self insha'Allaah.. Whatever the case, when watching Tv or doing whatever you will doing in life ask yourself "Will this be pleasing to Allaah?" "Will I benefit myself from doing this?" "Maybe I can spend a little time doing this or using this but ensure it doesn't let me waste my time"..."If I can spending doing this I can also spend the similar amount on reading the Qur'aan or listening to a lecture" etc etc...

I hope a member can add anything if I have missed something out and correct me if I am wrong.

Regarding Photos, as far as I am aware one should not have images in the room or even their home they are performing their salaah in as it prevents the blessings of Allaah SWT entering upon that house.


Volume 4, Book 54, Number 448 :

Narrated by Abu Talha

I heard Allah's Apostle saying; "Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal)."

Also photos needed out of necessity such as passports, buss pass etc I believe are permitted as they are necessary items..The rest I shall let someone else reply to insha'Allaah..

Apologise if I sounded harsh as I had no intent to be..also Hope someone passes on a better reply insha'Allaah..

Re: Should sins be made public or kept secret ?

If you make sins, conceal it and make taubah (repentance and ask Allah SWT directly for forgiveness).

Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly (for forgiveness) and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean. (Quran, 2:222)

Whosoever covers (the sins of) a Muslim, Allah covers (his sins) on the Day of Judgment. (Reported by Bukhari)

he Messenger of Allah (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said: “My entire nation is safe, except al-Mujahirin (those who boast of their sins). Among the Mujaharah is that a man commits an (evil) act, and wakes up in the morning while Allah has kept his (sin) a secret, he says: “O so-and-so! Last night I did this and that.” He goes to sleep while Allah has kept his (sin) a secret but he wakes up in the morning and uncovers what Allah has kept a secret!” [Saheeh al-Bukhari]

Abdullah Ibn Masoud (رضي الله عنه) related, ‘A man came to the Prophet and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! I have mingled with a woman in the far side of al-Medina, and I fulfilled my desire short of actually having sexual intercourse with her. So, here am I, judge me according to what you decide.’ Umar Ibn al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) then said: ‘Allah had kept your secret, why did not you keep your secret?’ [Shahih Muslim]

Allah’s Messenger (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said: “He, who relieves a hardship of this Dunya (world) for a believer, Allah will relieve (from him) a hardship of the Day of Resurrection; he who makes easy an indebted person, Allah will make it easy for him in the Dunya and the Hereafter; he who covers a Muslim (meaning his mistakes and shortcomings), Allah will cover him in the Dunya and the Hereafter …” [Muslim]
 
Re: Can Muslims have a Cat or Cats for a pet or pets is this allowed also is it true

I love the story of Muhammad cutting off his sleeve for the cat; I often share it with friends. I've also heard (perhaps wrongly) that Muhammad hated dogs. I hope that's not the case- I love both cats and dogs.
 
Re: Can Muslims have a Cat or Cats for a pet or pets is this allowed also is it true

Belang, manis, femi, bimba, elsa, dora, eka, cikal, kuyung, yoko, miko, ..... and many more, ..... and many more.

These were my cats names.
 
Re: Can Muslims have a Cat or Cats for a pet or pets is this allowed also is it true

Yes you're allowed to have cats, there was a great companion called Abu Hurayrah (literally “Father of the Kitten”) because he used to love cats and keep them. It's very important you treat your cat well though. Colour does not matter.

Anas said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade tying up animals so that they could be shot at and killed."

[Agreed upon]Riyad as-Salihin (The Meadows of the Righteous)

"Those who are kind and considerate to Allah's creatures, Allah bestows His kindness and affection on them. Show kindness to the creatures on the earth so that Allah may be kind to you." Hadith - Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi
 
Re: Can Muslims have a Cat or Cats for a pet or pets is this allowed also is it true

I had a black cat for a while and a lot of people started saying that black cats are usually jinns. My sister read Ayat ul Kursi over the cat and nothing happened so we kept her and she was such a good cat! She never did anything messy in the house and she would just come and sit near someone and watch them. :statisfie

Different place, different culture.

People in my place believe, if jinns want to take form as animal, they will take form as snake, not black cat.
 
Re: Can Muslims have a Cat or Cats for a pet or pets is this allowed also is it true

I love cats too! Especially the cute kittens:

Wish I could have one :(

PS- Never heard of Jinns possessing black cats... :unsure:
 
Re: Can Muslims have a Cat or Cats for a pet or pets is this allowed also is it true

U can keep both dogs and cats, Prophet Muhammed(Saw) never hated dogs, but dislked them. Why?

One of the reasons is when you have a dog in your house that angels can't enter your house.
You can still keep them but better let your dog sleep in the shack. Or build one for your dog in the backyard. In the open world, you can keep dogs and walk with them. Also for hunting you can use a dog.
 
Can Satan influence people to do wrong or evil things ?

Can Satan influence people to do wrong or evil things ? Like could Satan influence Leaders of Nations to harm Muslims or just harm people in general ? I don't mean to make this a political thread but I believe Satan or the Devil influences Western Leaders to do wrong. What does the Holy Quran and or the Hadith say thank you ?
