Absolutly right, its the thought that counts and if you hold back what you have spare i.e money for frivulous fireworks lol then I guess its that thought that counts aswell.

What Im trying to say , without spoiling your fireworks partys is this, you may well of given £50, so does this mean you can waste the rest of what you have spare ?

I certainly dont tell anyone what to do, Its merely a thought I wish you poner on, just imagine yourself in their sitituatiion , they will want you to do ALL you can, so atleast try to do ALL you can.

proudness is one thing allah(swt) hates the most.it does not matter if u gave more.

LOL Im 33 guys !
so listen to words of wisdom huh ?

Im not proud of giving money, I wish allah accept if from me and he is pleased by it thats all.
And as I said before there is nothing wrong in saying or giving an example of givng to chairty or a way in which you gave to chairty if its to encourage others, and Allah knows my intentions , and Im not worried that anyone will percieve my intentions otherwise.

If I said I did a 20 miles walk with a bucket collecting moeny for the needy is this showing off >?

No, you say May ALLAH accept it, do not assume he will .:loving:
And may he reward you for your chairty, again do not assume you will be rewarded, rather hope you will be.
Now you can rest your case

bonfire night/ 5th nov is about guy fawkes , the man who tryed to blow up parliment and his plan was foiled (drat)
It certainly was a GRAND plot he had in mind, to blow the whole of parliment up, almost on line with the twin towers I'd say.

And yet every year tons of brit celebrate this man, how ?
By lighting fireworks, setting them off (as guy fawkes was going to use gun powder to blow up parliment) I mean lol this is actually glorifying ettroism if you think about it, all those 5th nov celebraters better watch out , what with the new terroism laws.

Really you think tony blair will discourage this event in light of his recent views.

Asalaamualaikum

no offence, but what are you talking about????

Fireworks are a form of entertainment - which is mubah.

Also, what about using fireworks on Eid? I recall a hadith (I'll find the reference tomorrow inshallah) where the Prophet (pbuh) said: -

"Entertain yourselves. For I would hate for people to think there is harshness in your religion"

YES! I am so gonna get some sparklers, one of those catherine wheels, and the hugest flippin' rocket you have ever SEEN! Horses will run in fear as booms pierce the night air. Dogs will cower from the righteous thunder. People will look up in the sky and exclaim: 'Now I know what carpet bombing feels like'

(note: this post is on-topic, despite appearances. I've never heard anyone ever call fireworks haraam)

Finally again, I have no idea if fireworks are haram, but for sure they are a waste of money:happy1:

i fink they are iswekl i heard cuz its gumpowder or summon like that

I don't think fireworks are haraam. All this stuff about wasting money and giving charity is annoying me. We spend money on other 'stupid' stuff like nice clothes, gifts and make up on eid- so why are fireworks an exception? Islam isn't that strict is it- to completely ban everything that has a bit of fun in it? I think fireworks are allowed- it's only a bit of fun- that's what Eid is for, celebrating and Ramadan was the month where u had to give charity and all that. Now Ramadan is finished and all ur hard work is done too- u deserve a little bit of fun right?
