Lol Eating 'Biryani' is bidah? by Yasir Qadhi

[boss4m1r]

birthdays come from pagan? is that why when asked by the sahab ra abouy fasting on monday prophet Salalahoalayhewasalam replied it was the day i was born. the fast was an act of celebration.

[TSMultimediaTS]

In regards to birthdays an mothers day, there shouldn't be only 1 day a year to treat your mother special or celebrating a year of being alive, you should be doing it everyday, thanking God that you are alive and have health and treating your mum perfectly everyday.

[ByChoiceMuslim]

I have just heard doing this ":)" is Bidah LOL

[lilblitz]

This is the best pakistani I have ever seen May Allah guide more like him away from their odd ways inshAllah this guy if very very good mashAllah

[schehry]

biryani is a must in pakistan...on every occasion,without an occasion,,every week at every corner you have biryani shop.And its everyone's favourite,and if someone says its bidah,,,,,he can't live in pakistan for sure.

[Asemahdi3]

I met few Muslims who said celebrating Mother's day is a Bidah. I told them the same thing. How is Mother's day is a Bidah when it has got nothing to do with religion. Some people are against the celebration of birthday. Celebrating the birthday of Prophet Muhammad PBUH is a Bidah because Prophet is related to our religion but not celebrating my own birthday which has got nothing to do with Islam.

[bachamazar]

@Asemahdi3 Today the way birthdays are celebrated, dance music is there which leads to haram things :) if u have a simple wish like HAPPY BIRTHDAY then it might be fine but who will go with just simple wish? most of the ppl love to do haram things on birthdays

[salafimediax]

@bachamazar Birthdays are from paganism and imitating the kaffir this why they haram

[JXEartist]

@salafimediax thank you for clearing that up.

[lilblitz]

@Asemahdi3 The opinion of sheik slaman al oudah was it was ok because bday and anniversary was not unique to the kaffirs, the problem was immitation not just bidah, the rule on imitation is if its not unique to the kuffar its not imitation this is now widespread with muslims, this was his logic. The grand mufti of Saudi revoked this because it stems from festivals/customs so this is something we can never copy as it will change islam as in only celebrating the two eids, festivals BIG NO NO

[lilblitz]

@Asemahdi3 I can refer you to his fatwa and the refutation of it Wallahi I know "muslim's" who celebrate christmas and say its just for the kids, not religious, do you see the danger, in religious matters and make no mistake anything which occurs on the same day every year is regarded as a festival, this is crossing the line in islam and Allah swt has guarded us from this, My mom is white I have to avoid these thing all the time if I can at the cost of hardship you can for missing "fun"

[waronislam2011]

@Asemahdi3 sheikh Anwar said we shoudl stay away from celebrating birthdays. mainly because the pagans used to celebrate it as they used to think that they fought and beat "mother nature" and lived another year!!!

secondly, sheikh said why shoudl we be happy that we are getting closer to death. what have we accomplished in our lives that we should be celebrating?

[wizfull]

@Asemahdi3

Birthdays come from Pagan and were adopted by Christianity afterward.. So yes, it is bida'ah. Mother's Day.. Allah azzawajal knows best. Though I do remember from my studying that we can ONLY celebrate our two Islamic celebrations. All other celebrations are bida'ah, except if for example you're getting married, you got a child, and so forth. This is just what I've understood, not necessarily true, so again; Allah knows best, we should research more into the issue..

[12389h]

@Asemahdi3 If you want to imitate the Kaffirs then that is your choice. Plus a lot of their celebrations have pagan roots. So celebrate them if you want, but you could committing an act which does not please Allah. I'm just warning you brother. Salaam.

[1slamicLife]

@Asemahdi3 Birthdays are pagan rituals to protect people from the evil spirits. Rasulullah (saw) instructed us not to follow the kuffar in their rituals/celebrations. Also if the birth of the greatest man to have ever walked the planet isn't to be celebrated then who are we to celebrate ours? We're supposed to love Rasulullah (saw) more than our children, our parents and our selves. We should be weeping at the time we wasted. Not celebrating it like those who have no purpose in life.

[JXEartist]

@1slamicLife Nicely said my dear brother

[learntwostruggle]

Music is not haram and neither is chess. Let the responses roll in.

[NiyaziVideos]

@learntwostruggle Music is indeed haram. And I'm not sure about chess, but I think that Imam Ash Shafi'i (may allah be pleased with him) said that chess is permissible for strategic purposes.

[lilblitz]

Wow at last a pakistani with the correct aqeeda may Allah swt guide those mushriks that pray to graves and so on. Also this included to imitating the kuffar, this is only applicable to something exclusive to the kaffirs

[lilblitz]

@sunaru1 kuffar is collective of kaffir, kaffir is a disbeliever

[sunaru1]

@lilblitz What exectly does 'unbeliever' mean? Do you mean unbeliever in Islam and Mohamed as the last prophet? Or, only unbeliever in God? Are Christians, Jews, Mormons and Hindus kaffir / kuffar?

[lilblitz]

@sunaru1 yes in the islamic sense an unbeliever. Kaffir literally means to cover (in this sense the truth) as for christians and jews we call them ahl kittab (people of the book) because we believe in their books and their prophets but we believe people altered the text overtime which reality shows and that Mohammad came to confirm their validity but to change their mistakes. When a new messenger comes he must be followed not the previous one.

[lilblitz]

@sunaru1 Kaffir can be applied to any non Muslim ( of course in Islam you are only guilty if you have been given the message and denied it, those who are ignorant are not guilty) whereas mushrikeen speciffically means people who take partners to God, like pegans, Like i said kaffir means to cover, shirk means taking partner, it is used in the business sense too, in the Islamic sense it means taking partners to God, a mushrik one who takes partners, mushrikeen is the collective of that.

[sunaru1]

@lilblitz In that case, Kaffir / kuffar are offensive terms and Islam is a somewhat arrogant religion and not tolerant.

[lilblitz]

@sunaru1 All that was to make that point? There is no greater crime than to deny your Lord,once the truth has been made clear, to identify someone who doesn't believe as a non believer is arrogant? This is the ruling of Allah and the name He called his rebellious creation, so how can this be arrogance? What a silly statement

[sunaru1]

@lilblitz It is arrogance in exactly the same way as Jews who believe they are the 'chosen people'.

[lilblitz]

@sunaru1 No we invite all of mankind and welcome everyone as our brothers/sisters, you just want to have something to say, arrogance is something unjustified, saying we follow the truth is our belief if we believe anyone else is correct we have disbelieved in what we believe by default two contradicting things cant be correct so in order to be "humble" you suggest to become hypocrites? No we absolutely believe in our religion, all are welcome and the ignorant are not guilty NO ARROGANCE

[sunaru1]

@lilblitz We have different views on the meaning of arrogance. You believe in Islam and that virtually all other people, no matter what their belief, are 'kaffir'. If invited to Islam and the others reject your offer, then even worse. That, to me, is arrogance and intolerance. Tolerance means 'accepting others'. It DOES NOT mean 'accepting others only if they become Muslim when invited to do so'.

Kaffr is an offensive, arrogant term no matter what your belief. You are not accepting of others.

[lilblitz]

@sunaru1 Well more than tht we have different views on priorities. Mine is to my Lord who created me and gave me my health my family and al I have enjoyed, your is to strangers who have done nothing for you and who disbelieve in your Lord and His messengers out of arrogance, the greatest arrogance which is denying the truth when it has been made clear. In addition if we were intolerant of those kaffirs how come we can marry them and we protect their people under a muslim state

[sunaru1]

@lilblitz '..intolerant of those kaffirs...' Do you not see the arrogance and intolerance of that statement? Do you not realise the offensiveness of what you have just said? How dare you refer to me as 'those kaffirs'? Besides, is it true that muslims can marry 'those kaffirs'? Can a male Muslim marry a female Kaffir? Can a female Muslim marry a male kaffir? What did the 'Last Prophet' say about this?

[lilblitz]

@sunaru1 never mind how dare I..I'm not one of those weakened muslims who want to be a lap dog and be approved of, because I am born here speak English perfectly and my mother is white I don't have that "fitting in" complex and neither should any muslim. I didn't call you a kaffir however if you don't like being called a disbeliever then believe, and if you dont believe there should be no issue with reffering to you as what you are "a disbeliever in islam" if the truth offends u?

[lilblitz]

@sunaru1 unlike jews who have come to believe they are chosen and call us two legged animals and accept no conversions to their faith we accept and encourage everyone, if you don't believe it's quite obvious what you are a "disbeliever" not sure why you get hung up on reality. My job is to tell the truth not cater to the feelings of those who deny it, we are just to kaffirs and any kindness comes from justness and to encourage them to come to the truth chrsitians call us heathens

[sunaru1]

@lilblitz @lilblitz '..however if you don't like being called a disbeliever then believe'. Well, there you are - ARROGANCE. You want to force your belief down my throat. That is INTOLERANCE. It is ARROGANCE. That is your problem, Muslim (you call me Kaffir, I call you Muslim). Do you not think I have had a Mother and Father? Do you not think that I love my children. And yet, Islam says I will burn in Hell. Why? Because I do not believe in a false prophet, Mohamed. I love my children

[lilblitz]

@sunaru1 It's my honor that you call me muslim may Allah accept my islam, I don't want to force anything down ur throat the message is clear take it or leave it and it is more offensive to me you arrogant little man to call our Prophet sws false that it is if I say ur a false father and your kids are the mail mans

[sunaru1]

@lilblitz 'I don't want to force anything down ur throat the message is clear take it or leave i't'

That is a contradiction. I leave it. I do not believe in Muhammad. He has tricked you. You have been fooled. That makes me, by your standards, kuffir. Yet, I am a human with feelings. Islam does not understand this. Islam is intolerant of anyone who does not agree.

[lilblitz]

@sunaru1 your absolutely right we do not care about your feelings about being called disbelievers when you lie against out Lord and Prophet, we are even forbidden to take you as intimate, this is the difference between hypocrites and true believers you deny the truth and call the dearest to us a liar and you want me to care that you don't like your label, double standards and idiotic expectations, leave it see you on the other side, but i do advise you look closer.

[sunaru1]

@lilblitz Not once have I called you a lair. Thank you for confirming that Islam is an intolerant, arrogant religion. Your hateful statement says it all.

[lilblitz]

@sunaru1 who is more arrogant than you who when he has heard The Lord of all creation has sent a messenger with clear proof, and without properly researching that deny it like you know better, that is the height of arrogance, and you accuse us of arrogance by following and submitting to our creator and applying rules He has revealed as if we made them up, what a warped logic.

[lilblitz]

@obsessedwiththedeen who is we I am muslim try reading and I hate being educated by people who don't understand islam as well as what they think, u clearly don't speak Arabic do you? Grateful is shukur from that shokran shakir, shakira, kufr kaffir, kuffar come from K F R, the one who covers in this case the truth, a farmer is a kafr not in the islamic sense but he covers with earth like shirk in the islamic sense is taking partners with Allah in business shirk is a partner

[lilblitz]

@obsessedwiththedeen Ya akhi where do I start you said the work comes from the root word for ungreatful WRONG from the route word khaf feh rah K F R to cover/hide/conceal no one said kaffir only had one meaning you clearly said ROUTE WORD I corrected you and you know that arrogance in islam is defined by Mohammad sws as denying the truth when it has been made clear, anyway that aside advice from a child is good if it's correct yours was wrong.

[lilblitz]

@obsessedwiththedeen Giving dawa is good, praiseworthy talking without knowledge about islam is HARAM I wanted to make that clear, i don't think your bad intentioned but you have to realize when the shaytan cant overtly make you sin he makes you either spend time doing smaller deeds and missing big ones or confuses you about good deeds, like u thought ur giving dawa but gave false knowledge and make no mistake u were categorically WRONG it is NOT from the route Ungrateful

[lilblitz]

@obsessedwiththedeen At least when your wrong admit it that is nearer to piety dont cling on to things you said ROUT WORD and you were clearly wrong, and you were telling me about prayer saying IF your muslim, and WE muslims, I was explaining that to a kaffir if you bothered to read instead of jumping in with false information, and then tell me for not listening and correcting falsehood I'm liek phayroon lol Your knowledge is wek and voice loud thats an issue akhi. CONVERT?

[obsessedwiththedeen]

@lilblitz subhnallah, I was wrong, I apologize, you are completely correct I did say root word. But I am not a guy and I am not a convert, but if I was, would that even make a difference? Technically every sahaba was a convert, and there is no one on this earth that can compare to them? so what are you implying?

[lilblitz]

@obsessedwiththedeen being a convert is a great thing , just a lot of them get very enthusiastic which is also good but when coupled with limited knowledge it's bad, a convert should be engulfed in seeking knowledge instead they are engulfed in dawa which is great but they should give dawa to their capabilities, talking about Allah that which you don't know is a very major thing and we are warned against this.

[lilblitz]

@obsessedwiththedeen My goal was never to be nasty to you, I love the muslims, some people you have to be delicate with some harsh depending on the situstion, because you were so matter of a fact and authoritative wrong info I though if you feel slightly embarrassed it would stick with you and you would make a conscious effort not to do it, you underestimate maybe the seriousness about misinformation. InshAllah your not upset with me

[obsessedwiththedeen]

@lilblitz Salam! Its all good, I am actually re-learning Quranic Grammar and didnt realize what I said, "root word" and "meaning" are completely different and I apologize for that and yeah, you did a good job at the embarrassing, I didnt even realize I said the wrong thing until you stressed K F R but alhumduiallah. I do know the consequence which is why I deleted all of the comments. again, I do apologize like I said I did not realize my mistake till you mentioned it. alhumduiallah, salam

[lilblitz]

@obsessedwiththedeen Please don't think this is uncommon when learning islam, it's all part of the learning curve, one thing I can say is Mohammad sws stressed to be careful with our tongues we may say a thing and think and take no notice of it and it may cause us to enter heaven or hell but not to say you should be paranoid just cautious but the most important thing is your seeking knowledge and that is a great deed and our deeds are based on our intentions.

[lilblitz]

@obsessedwiththedeen May Allah swt reward you and protect you inshAllah for striving to learn His deen and may He make you successful in this life and the next Ameen. If you can learn the arabic text it makes things so much easier as you can break down words, it should only take a week or two if you put the time in inshAllah

[naarakyuu]

Maha'Allaah. very good speaker.

[zeb120]

In my mosque

EVERY FRIDAY AFTER FAJR PRAYER

My imam reads 40 duroods on microphone and we have to listen to it

I asked him politely to turn the mic off one day after prayer but he never did

WHAT SHOULD I DO

IS he doing bidah ?

[theswordsofgod]

lol the sheikh explains it very clearly mashallah ;)

[wazahwazah]

If the Tableeghi 'Pajama & Lota' Jamat don't approve of it, it's Bidaaaa. Their favorite word. A TJ member once told me, I could not believe my ears when I heard him, that eating cheeseburger is makrooh and bidaaaa. Why? Cus you have to use both hands to eat it and your left hand touches the food. Plus they didn't have cheeseburgers at that time.

[naarakyuu]

"you have to use both hands to eat it and your left hand touches the food" -that does not make any sense. Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Mention Allah's Name (i.e., say 'Bismillah' before starting to eat), eat with your right hand, and eat from what is near you.”

So, if it is possible, don't use the left hand at all while eating/drinking.

and

Wouldn't cheeseburger be haraam since the beef in it is not halaal? I mean when the cow was killed the name of Allaah was not mentioned.

[lilblitz]

@naarakyuu A burger if killed by a christian or a jew is ok, it is permitted even if its not known if the name of Allah is not mentioned, Mohammad sws ate meat from teh Jews and did not ask questions. The problem here is the way they kill it (not draining blood) even if a muslim kills it like that its haram, but don't be too persistent if it is not clear how they have slaughtered it,you dont need to over investigate just eat, this is the opinion of ibn Uthymeen.

[naarakyuu]

@lilblitz please provie some reference. form hadeeth and the link to where ibn 'Uthymeen said it. Barak Allaahu Feekum.

[lilblitz]

@naarakyuu Salaam uhalaikum akhi, well done for asking that's how we maintain our deen by only following the correct evidence. Specifically he said it " Risaalah fi Ahkaam al-Udhiyah wa’l-Dhakaah by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen" you can get a summary on islam qa question no. 85669. personally I eat chicken in North America not the red meat because they cut the chickens head but not always the cow and lambs this is what I have experienced so I have to go on what I know, inshAllah this helps.

[naarakyuu]

@lilblitz JazakumuLLAAH Khayr. 

[naarakyuu]

@lilblitz as salaamu 'alaykum akhi, I just recently read the question 85669 on Islamqa and according to the scholars and the most correct view from the imams. Bismillaah must be said before slaughtering. And the person slaughtering must pray all the time (not sure if this is authentic). So, just letting the blood flow is not enough.

[lilblitz]

@naarakyuu wa alaium a salaam, Akhi the christians do not say Bismillah yet we can eat their meat, also the hadith in that question showed new muslims perhaps did not say Bismillah when killing yet Mohammad sws said "say Bismillah and eat" so if it is unknown you can say Bismillah this is from my understanding and it goes in line with the fact we can eat from the people of the book and they are not known to say that.

[lilblitz]

@naarakyuu What u said about the person praying I can only assume would be for the follow reason: The one who does not pray according to the scholars makes him an apostate from islam. It is because of the hadith that between a man and shirk and kufr is giving up prayer. So i assume they mean if he is an apostate then he is neither a muslim, christian or jew so it's not halal. If we think he is muslim we dont need to investigate if he prays or not only if it is known Allahu Alim

[lilblitz]

@naarakyuu read 88206 If a Muslim or a kitaabi (Jew or Christian) slaughters an animal for meat, and it is not known whether he mentioned the name of Allaah over it or not, it is permissible to eat from it, and the one who eats it should say the name of Allaah" This is the opinion of ibn Uthymeen I dont know of a more knowledgeable scholar in our time The prophet sws ate the meat of the Jews and didn't ask questions, islam is the religion of ease not about over picking at things

[lilblitz]

@naarakyuu Opinions vary in islam akhi even from reputable sheiks if we pick and choose every lenient opinion we have made our religion something new and most forbidden things we have made halal and they permit zina and alcohol and music like in the hadith of the Prophet sws or if we take every strict view we can say to shave immitates the kaffirs, to imitate a people ur one of them, so shaving makes you a kaffir (some people hold this view) so we try and find the middle path akhi

[obsessedwiththedeen]

@naarakyuu I only eat zabiha and have had a halal cheeseburger. The meat is killed in the proper way and alhumduiallah, you get ground beef and make it into a patty, cook it, put bread and whatever fixings, and bam! halal cheese burger!

[naarakyuu]

@obsessedwiththedeen nice! but is the cheese you put in the burger halaal? :)

[obsessedwiththedeen]

@naarakyuu I didnt know that there is a such thing as "unhalal" cheese, can you tell me more, inshallah

[lilblitz]

@obsessedwiththedeen There isn't unhalal cheese inshAllah the rennet inside it used to be an enzyme found inside a sheeps stomach, now it is artificial mostly, (90%) so the issue isn't there really, even if so, it doesn't die with the sheep so the scholars said an unpure container doesn't effect it's contents and it is known the sahaba ra ate cheese from the Persians, this is the soundest opinion inshAllah, dont over investigate concentrate on important things inshAllah

[naarakyuu]

@obsessedwiththedeen A guy who use to work at a pizza place told me they use to keep the cheese and peperoni together in one package. So even the cheese put in veggie and just cheese pizza becomes un halaal because it came in contact with the peperoni. But i guess this only applies to Pizza only. And regarding normal cheese. Please take a look at this two links:

islamqa(.)c o m/en/ref/2841/cheese

islamqa(.)c o m/en/ref/115306/cheese

take out the brackets and spaces. Jazakum'Allaahu Khayr.

[lilblitz]

@naarakyuu Ya akhi don't make islam hard, we do not have to over investigate in islam if we dont know and its not apparent in food we leave it and say Bismillah plus 90 percent of cheese in North America now uses artificial rennet so there is no issue and even real rennet the soundest opinion is it is halal inshAllah this is the view of ibn taymya, imam Ahmad and Abu haneefa, the worst thing u can do is make a new seeker of knowledge think about whats in his cheese THINK AKHI

[naarakyuu]

@lilblitz are you following my comments on this video? haha

[lilblitz]

@naarakyuu There's a big difference between being cautious, leaving doubtful things and being paranoid and over investigating this is from the shaytan and not prescribed in islam, I recommend u read ibn uthymeens thoughts on these matters islam is the religion of ease this is Allah's promise the shaytan promises you hardship and misery but Allah's promise is true and the shaytans a lie, it's 90% artificial and a sound opinion is its halal anyway, this is beyond cation AllahuAlim
