[catmando]

...u have to be joking right??! is he even muslim?
whats the big deal about this guy?

So not being a Muslim somehow diminishes a person in your eyes? Steve Irwin raised awareness of the environment the world over. That's what the 'big deal' is about him.

And have some respect in a thread about someone's death. You demean him by your words.

 

[Muezzin]

Threads merged.

Steve Irwin is the greatest Aussie icon ... to the whole world ... Muslims and non Muslims alike!!!

 

[F.Y.]

^Well, I dont know if he is the greatest. He's probably as famous (or even more famous) than Crocodile Dundee though (Paul Hogan).

For sure, he's more popular than John Howard!!! Is it true that they'll give Steve Irwin a State Funeral?

Assalaamu'Alycom Warahhmatullahi Wabarakaatu to my Brothers and Sisters who adhere to the Qur'an and Sunnah alone.

I believe I have an obligation here to post this very important information up.
I have stopped coming to these so called "Islamic" Websites for majority of Muslims on these so called "Islamic" Muslims have filled their hearts with Kufr and Shirk and have left the fold of Islam.

Before I post this up I declare that I am not celebrating his death nor am I happy that he is dead.

Do you not forget the Prophets Uncle?! The greatest non-Muslim who loved and cared for the best of Creation, Muhammad (salla Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and the Muslims? He died rejecting Islam and the Prophet (salla Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) cried every night begging Allah to forgive him and have mercy upon him, until one night Allah sent an angel down to Muhammad (salla Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) to declare that no matter how much he makes Du'a to Allah, it will never be accepted of him and that he will be in Hell-Fire for eternity. But because of the extreme sadness of Muhammad (salla Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), Allah will give his Uncle the least punishment in Hell for all eternity.

Do you not forget the Qur'an?

"Who took their religion as an amusment and play, and the life of the World deceived them. So this Day we shall forget about them as they forgot about the Meeting of this Day, and as they used to reject our Ayats of Qur'an."
7:51

"And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Sura like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (If there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true.
But if ye cannot- and of a surety ye cannot- then fear the Fire whose fuel is men and stones,- which is prepared for those who reject Faith (Islam)."
2:22-23

"But they who disbelieve (in Islam), and deny Our revelations (Qur'an and Sunnah), such are rightful Peoples of the Fire. They will abide therein forever."
2:39

"Miserable is the price for which they have sold their souls, in that they deny (the revelation) which Allah has sent down, in insolent envy that Allah of His Grace should send it to any of His servants He pleases: Thus have they drawn on themselves Wrath upon Wrath. And humiliating is the punishment of those who reject Faith (Islam)."
2:90

etc, etc, etc

What about the authentic words of Muhammad (salla Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam)?!

Narrated Abu Hurairah (Radeallahu'Anhum) Prophet Muhammad (salla Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
By Him (Allah) in whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, there in none from among the Jews and Christians of these present nations who hears about me and then dies without accepting fully in the Message with which I have been sent (Islamic Monotheism) but he will be from the dwellers of the Hell Fire for eternity."
(Sahih Muslim, Book of Faith, Volume One, Hadith Number 240)

By Allah, by what you have said, you have rejected the Qur'an and Sunnah. Turn back to Allah and seek severe repentance in Him for, "the greatest sinner in the eyes of Allah who believes fully in His revelations and understands his mistakes and sin, is much greater than one who is perfect and kind but who rejects even a single sign from Allah".

Take the following advice from our predecessors:

"Whoever has doubt of a non-Muslim going to Hell, then he has indeed committed an act of Kufr and in this state, be among the people of Hell-Fire for ever. If he still has doubt, then let him recite the story of the Prophet's Uncle and his death."

"He who has doubt of a disbeliever entering Hell-Fire, then he has yet to accept Islam and to recite the words of Allah (Qur'an)."

"....If one cannot accept a disbeliever entering Hell-Fire for eternity, after reciting the words of Allah (Qur'an), then his heart has been blackened and are those who are misguided".

I met Steve and his wife while she was pregnant with Bindi. They are really good people. Steve will be missed. He was one of the great conservationists of his time.

i thought muslims say they believe in the same God as Christians... (i am just assuming Steve was Christian..)

salaams ^^ nice points

I think ppl need to remember that it is halal to feel remorse or to send condolences to the family of the dead, but it is not allowed to make dua for a dead dis-believer. Also we can pray that Allah have mercy on his family by giving them Guidence towards islam.
Remember, he was kind to animals yes....but what were his beliefs? Suppose he was denying Allah and his apostle (saw). Allah is the final judge as to weather he will be forgiven beacuse of his kindness to animals, but its not our place to say that he was kind to animals so he will be fogiven.
We must draw the line some where with regards to our condolences and remorse for his death. So as for asking for mercy for him..... well the hadith below is clear enough to answer that.

Bukhari Volumn 002, Book 023, Hadith Number 442.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Said bin Al-Musaiyab : From his father: When the time of the death of Abu Talib approached, Allah's Apostle went to him and found Abu Jahl bin Hisham and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira by his side. Allah's Apostle said to Abu Talib, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, a sentence with which I shall be a witness (i.e. argue) for you before Allah. Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said, "O Abu Talib! Are you going to denounce the religion of Abdul Muttalib?" Allah's Apostle kept on inviting Abu Talib to say it (i.e. 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah') while they (Abu Jahl and Abdullah) kept on repeating their statement till Abu Talib said as his last statement that he was on the religion of Abdul Muttalib and refused to say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' (Then Allah's Apostle said, "I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed (the verse) concerning him (i.e. It is not fitting for the Prophet and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness for pagans even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of the fire (9.113).

HERO'S DEATH SHOCKS YOUNG FANS​

KUALA LUMPUR: Young Malaysian fans of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin are shocked and saddened by the news of his death on Monday.

Like elsewhere in the world where the Crocodile Hunter TV series is shown, children interviewed here say they will miss their wildlife hero's daring encounters with crocodiles and snakes, his infectious sense of humour, and his favourite line "Crikey, take a look at this beauty."

Adrian, 13, from Subang Jaya said :"I was extremely sad and had always feared that Steve would be eaten by a crocodile. I did not expect a stingray to kill him."

Claudine, 12, of Port Dickson, said she was depressed when she heard of Irwin's death.

"From now on, every time I see a crocodile I will think of Steve Irwin."

Eight-year-old Priscilla, from Kuala Lumpur said she was upset, as there would not be any new shows of the crocodile hunter.

"Every show will be a repeat - and that's really sad," she said.

"He was my favourite hero and it's because of his shows that I learned to love snakes."

Desmond, nine, from Seremban said: "It's sad to lose someone who cared so much for animals and treated them with a lot of love. I will miss him."

Irwin's fans will definitely miss his outspoken and humorous character.

He was an icon among wild life enthusiasts. His programmes on Animal Planet were a hit because of his down to earth and unusual tactics in handling wild animals.

STEVE, YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL​

Steve Irwin died on Monday. I do not know the man, but I know of him. And even then, only through my daughter Elle, who loves the crocodile hunter and his antics in saving the environment.

I'm convinced that Steve has inspired in her, ambitions of being herpetologist, a mad scientist, a palaeontologist. This, for a 10-year-old, is an achievement by itself.

I am a Malaysian living far away from his native Queensland but we have followed Steve's antics on my couch through television.

We have jumped into crocodile pits with him, swam with sharks and whales with him, hung out with orangutans with him.

We have trekked through tropical jungles, waded in African rivers, and recoiled at spitting snakes.

We shared his wedding day with him, his anticipation at Teri's bedside during Bindi Sue's birth, his ogling at Terri's kampung (hometown), New York City.

I know of him so much that he is "Steve", and not Mr Irwin. He has been such an integral oart of my children's growing-up years that it almost feels like he is family.

Thank you, Steve. Your work has had such an impact on us. We will miss you.

He was great, and so brave. I dont dare to touch a snake but he play with the snakes. And he play with crocodile too, masha Allah so brave. BUT whenever I saw his action, I was always thought "oneday he will suffer something bad from his actions". Cause although its so brave on what he is doing, still to make our self fall into danger things not allowed.

I think, he rather die in action ... rather than dying on the bed.
