General Issues / Questions

Peace everyone... I was wondering whenever I read Iblees verses and his defiance to God's command... God is clear there is no compulsion in System /Deen.. Whoever wishes can have a path.. But Iblees was compelled.. Let's see. That entirely different to what Iblees's denial... No one can deny the command of God while they are given everything in their life and they deny then they won't belong in the place they are.. Coz everyone is servant of God and while indulge in such environment we can't deny God but only obedience is accepted by... That is to say compelled to obey willingly or unwillingly... One would wonder... Iblees just denied so why God is so furious... even Adam flawed God by denying His command by approaching to the tree.. So many people on earth deny and mock God blaa bla.. Then why Iblees was not given a chance.. . Why then Iblees became destined for Hell fire for only one denial, while Adam was pardoned.... Etc.. Here matter is Iblees denied the command... In a direct language if I summarise .. That is to say God says "Do it" But Iblees says.. "I can't ".. " I won't.." I will never " that was in fact the case.. That's mammoth... Hope you get me.. But on the other hand Adam was commanded / advised don't approach the tree.. But he erred.. It is not denial or betrayal literally but chosen the wrong option or in a nutshell command was not executed and Adam realized ... But Iblees's Command was in black and white denied and kept denying and gave his reason as well for denial.. Not was ready realize his denial. Such won't qualify to live in a place where elite lives.. That's why all who qualified to enter janna and all those Malaika and rest are living in a blessed and peaceful place... Coz they obeyed and no denial of God's order.. And God's forgiveness on top of that... So what Iblees did and what Adam did were out and out different... For former no forgivenss and for the later deserved forgiveness... So.. What lesson we can learn from both is.. God's direct command like God saying "Do good'.. We should never discard... And God's advice and recommendations also should be given priority... As well God's instructions not to do... Fortunately we don't have direct Command of "DO" like the one of Iblees.. What we get is all "Do good and avoid bad"... Otherwise instantly God would have punished us... Is there any command from God in Quran identical to Iblees which is directed to us(Human) in general that we deny. It to any past community ..? If you find Pls let me know within Quran.. For my info.. For example God commanded to Prophet Nuh to build a ship.. What could be the consequence if denied by Nuh? Will it be pardoned or punished? Direct Commands are very strong and no servant can deny whoever they are.. Iblees was so strange.. I can't imagine human life without Iblees and his crew. ... Peace Fellow believers who follow God's book. . The greatest lesson we can learn from Iblees and Adam in my understanding is our destiny... How??.. We human are two groups... Those in astray and those chosen right path...Thats why God has prepared only two rewards.. Hell Fire and Blissful Gardens..Nothing else... Those in astray keep denying God's instructions in life.. Never reforms and never want to reform... They have all the characteristics of iblees's defiant traits when he argued with God... But only difference is these people do that in their own life and entire life what Iblees did once only.. . On the other hand those who chose right path is identical to Adam... Guidance and instructions and needs of life is furnished but keep erring but realize and approach God for forgivenss... Whole life somehow they err in something... But not forget to reform ask forgiveness everyday ... This is the difference of two groups... group of iblees and group of Adam... Had anyone realized and reformed, and begged for forgivenss, would Allah make same destiny of Satan.. No... But if never realise and never reforms in reality and never want to reform and he feels not guilty for what he does, then isn't he same as iblees's denial? Of course.. God concluded then and there the decision and fate of Iblees to hell fire.. Is it not same for human denial on earth...? Yes it is same... Those who deny God's command is destined for hell fire...No delay.. They never reform... That's why God says in chapter 2.. Even you warn them or not warn them they will never believe, their hearts are sealed...So what is the use of rest of their life if their heart is sealed and they never believe.. Yes.. Destined for hell.. Story is same as iblees.. .. Iblees was given respite and these people who deny also given respite in life until their death... Then destiny of both is hell fire.. Why people deny God? Can we get a clue from Iblees for that? Why iblees denied God? He was elite.. He had everything in our imaginary thoughts.. Perhaps I am wrong.. But how come Malaika life is dull and without blessings and luxuries... Anyway iblees was not afraid before denying God and didn't even mind losing his status.. That's for a while unimaginable.. He could have asked forgiveness and could have obeyed even after not submitting to Adam if in fact he erred or made a blunder.. But denied and happy on his decision .. Never wanted to obey God's command.. But he was happy up until that moment with what he had coz his status was with elite but when Adam appeared he became arrogant... So.. Isn't the ARROGANCE that outclassed to lose all what he had.. So isn't the arrogance of human being on earth which leads them to deny God. What is arrogance? Let's see dictionary for best description... " Exaggerating or disposed to exaggerate one's own worth or importance often by an overbearing manner" This is not deserved to any creature who are to die. .such a weak creature should always obey.. That's more worthy.. Humility is what deserves to all created creatures. When arrogance overpower in any human or Jin then he forgets even he is created and his true nature... He feels he is self sufficient.. And totally neglect he is a dependent creature. This is what leads to denial of God by every human who does so. .. Arrogant person has no intention of obedience, no intention of reform.. No intention of forgiveness... Coz arrogance has no such traits.. But when nothing else to do he may pretend he has such traits but he doesn't in reality.. So is arrogance the only reason for Iblees to deny God's command thus denied God as a whole.. And is the arrogance the only reason human to deny God knowingly or unknowingly? For me Yes... It may look weird... But arrogance stand top of the pyramid and all other negative characteristics are by product of arrogance.. Let me explain... Type of deniers.. *Atheists.... Why he kept away God from his life... Of course arrogance.. If he takes that someone has created the earth and heavens then he has to surrender his arrogance to that someone... His inner arrogance make him feel there is NO ONE who created and he maintains his arrogance.. He feels on top of the mountain so he is free from other views.. *Disbelievers / Idol worshippers... Why they not found their own God/Creator and happy with some other who are in fact not their gods or goddess or deities. . Coz they found something is their own and their arrogance is not allowing to leave their much respected deities... Coz they have their highly regarded self dignity / respect with arrogance and that respect is not at stake at any cost even the truth is manifest they are not gonna give up.. Maintained arrogance... *Hypocrites... His arrogance feeling thinks he can deceive all people and he thinks he is so smart... Literally he denigraded everyone with his knowledge and that's through his arrogance... Coz in his eyes all are fool but he.. His arrogance leads him to deceive all and God as well but his arrogance never shows him that he is the ultimate loser.. Arrogance suppresses truth though truth is visible... When iblees said he is higher than Adam perhaps in a literal sense he might have been right... But arrogance is not the option to compare... Isn't Jibreal mightier than any human being... Would he show his arrogance just coz he is mighty power... No... He acts with justice... So even how powerful one is in every element, he can't be arrogant.... Arrogance leads astray... So even one has slightest of arrogance better rectify it.. Coz it will never take us to Janna... Note.. I may be wrong in my line of thought... So any brickbats and comments are welcome especially negative ... So I can reflect... May Allah bless believers...

Dear jkhan, Thank you for expressing your thoughts. I apologize if my previous responses came across as confusing or inadequate. I appreciate your perspective and understand your concern about relying on learned sources while not fully understanding the Quran myself. When I mentioned seeking knowledge from learned individuals, I meant that it can be beneficial to consult experts who have studied the Quran extensively and have a deep understanding of its teachings. However, it is crucial to approach their knowledge with critical thinking and verify the information against the Quran itself. The Quran serves as the ultimate source of guidance, and any knowledge acquired from other sources should align with its principles and teachings. As for aligning what I have learned from other sources with the Quran, it involves careful examination, comparison, and analysis. It's not about assuming I already know the Quran, but rather seeking further clarity and understanding by studying different perspectives and interpretations within the boundaries of Islamic scholarship. I encourage you to continue your pursuit of knowledge and engage in critical thinking and verification. Islamic scholarship comprises a wide range of individuals, including traditional scholars, researchers, and Quranic experts. It is advisable to consult reputable scholars and sources recognized within the Muslim community. Let us engage in respectful dialogue and strive to deepen our understanding of the Quran and its teachings. If you have any further questions or specific topics you'd like to discuss, I'm here to assist. Peace to you as well.

Thank you Jkhan, for sharing your thoughts once again. I understand that you hold a strong belief in the importance of seeking truth and following a consistent path. However, I would like to respectfully point out that it is not accurate to judge someone's approach or character based solely on a few interactions or observations. While we may have different perspectives and engage in discussions, it is essential to remember that meaningful debates require open-mindedness, respectful dialogue, and a willingness to consider different viewpoints. It is through such exchanges that we can broaden our understanding and potentially arrive at new insights. I appreciate your passion for the Quran and your belief in the importance of discovering truth. However, it is important to acknowledge that interpreting religious texts, including the Quran, can vary among individuals. Therefore, it is not appropriate to pass final verdicts or judge others solely based on our personal interpretations. Let us continue our conversations with an open mind and a genuine desire to explore different ideas. Through respectful discourse, we may find common ground or deepen our understanding of diverse perspectives. Thank you for your understanding and willingness to engage in meaningful discussions.

Salam/Peace and may Allah/God alone (SWTAY) bless you all. I have 2 links to show the root word of Kha-Miim-Ra The word KH-M-R from its root simply means 'a covering that causes a change in something'. It is any covering and not exclusive to the head-covering as commonly understood.

Surrender to GOD is a natural process that happens all over the world. Because of hightenned awarenness and Level of Consciousness. Each true scientist will arrive at The GOD. Each true musician will arrive at The GOD. Each pure Soul will Arrive at The GOD. I like this quote implying that we will naturally tend to surrender to a higher power in times of need.ANd thus we can get a peace of mind. this is why we need to surrender not because god needs it but we need it for peace of mind

The Nabateans, who built the monuments and structures in Hegra, were a pre-Islamic civilization that existed in the Arabian Peninsula before the advent of Islam. In recent years, the government has been investing heavily in the development and promotion of Al Ula as a major tourist destination. The region has a rich history and is home to many archaeological and cultural sites, including the ancient city of Hegra, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To attract more tourists, the government has launched several initiatives to develop the infrastructure and facilities in Al Ula. These include the creation of a new airport, the development of new hotels and resorts, and the restoration and preservation of historic sites and landmarks. The government has also launched several cultural and entertainment events to showcase the region's heritage and attract visitors. For example, the Winter at Tantora festival is an annual event that features concerts, performances, and other cultural activities. Overall, the government's efforts to promote tourism in Al Ula have helped to put the region on the map as a major tourist destination in Saudi Arabia. This has created new economic opportunities for the region and is helping to preserve and promote its cultural heritage. Some of the links https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al-a1tI163c https//experiencealula.com/en/business-special-events/maraya The madain saleh historical sites are also here https//www.saudiarabiatourismguide.com/madain-saleh/ Therefore purely from hadith point of view It is narrated from Abdullah bin Umar that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions were once passing by the place of the Thamud people. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Do not enter upon these people who are being punished, unless you are weeping. If you are not weeping then do not enter upon them, lest there befall you the like of what befell them. . Abdullah b. 'Umar reported that the people encamped along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the valley of Hijr, the habitations of Thamud, and they quenched their thirst from the wells thereof and kneaded the flour with it. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded that the water collected for drinking should be spilt and the flour should be given to the camels and commanded them that the water for drinking should be taken from that well where the she-camel (of Hadrat Salih) used to come. https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thamud However these are only traditions quoted. but Quran says the following 3042 Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Travel throughout the land and see what was the end of those ˹destroyed˺ before ˹you˺—most of them were polytheists.” So in a way we are encouraged to seek knowledge and to explore the world around us, and to appreciate the signs of Allah's power and greatness that are evident in there.

I'm convinced that the true direction of pray is towards Jerusalem. There is no 'true direction for praying', because in order for 'true direction' to exist, 'false directions' need to be defined. Thus those who think that 'true direction' exist will get caught in falsifying other directions are false. And given that the surface of the earth are round like a ball, you need to face down on the ground in order to face any area in the middle east region when you're in Hawaii. This entire notion of 'true direction for praying' only exist originally in Judaism and got trickled down to derivative products of Judaism. Including religion named Islam (a.k.a Judaism 3.0) The nearest 'direction' (if such viewed to exist) to commune with the Creator is inward.

I just stumbled across your post while I've been looking for some info on his topic. I'm in a tough spot. A good friend of mine passed away today, and I need to organize the funeral, but he was a Muslim, and I have no idea about their burial procedures. To make things worse, his family can't make it here.Besides, I spoke to his parents, and they don't want the body to be sent back home. They want him to be buried in the place where he always felt happy. I just don't know what to do. I stumbled across the webpage with Bronze Memorials and was thinking of getting something that would be approved in Islam. But I still have no clue about how to organize funerals. Well... Just bury him in any common burial ground like what christians do... That's it... Nothing you have to do... And inform his family what you did... If you have already done.. Just ignore my message.. Thank you...

You should not feel guilty of what you imagined before or during your sleep. Yet from your description it shows that you have the 'talent' of visualization and also controlling what you experience during your sleep, people often refer this as "Lucid Dreaming" capability. Consciousness is multi layered as even today's science has also indicate. Your sub-conscious is more 'honest' in comparation to your super-conscious, wakeful-conscious. It indicate what your really wish or want to experience. The feeling of 'guilt' mostly came from super-conscious or the wakeful mind. Wishing or wanting to experience love is not shameful, everyone (actually everything) wishing for the same thing, whether they admit it or not. You should start to worry when what you want to experience is something 'dark' or 'sinister'..

Thanks brother. You have an honest AI. A human would have changed your draft according to their bias. Take care and take care with your AI. GOD bless you. Peace.

I believe God is separate from His creation...I don't know if He's omnipresent in the literal sense but if He is, He's still not part of His creation. Creation is a sign of God, but it's not God. Do you believe everything is literally part of God? I do not believe, I know the Creator is NOT separated from it's creation. The reason being; the space (and time) that separate one from another is also part of creation. The Creator create fabric of space and time, infact many of it, people nowadays call it many dimension or multi-verse. Thus it is not the Creator inside (only) one space and time, but many space and time are inside the Creator. But do not believe me, as you can ask the Creator whether this is true or not. As the Creator is also inside of you. Even if I were to stop labelling people (by labels they themselves identify with openly), I would still feel lonely. I think part of it also has to do with my specific set of circumstances. If you stop seeing yourself as 'separated' then you will not be separated. If you stop judging others then you will also not be judged. it's actually as simple as that. The Creator has beautifully created a mechanism in this universe so that everything you project towards it will be returned back to you, like a mirror.

Peace jkhan. What is the difference between following scholars or following anyone else? Here is what I am saying according to my understanding of Qoran 1-Follow what is revealed by the sole authority,but use our faculties and be satisfied and honest about how we understand it through our own search/ hard work and reason so we can synchronise our speech, intentions and actions and be totally sincere and transparent. "Ittaqu Allah Ma Istatatum!" i.e do our best as we can never fool GOD.Nothing to do with synchronising with others. If we happen to agree with others,it should be because of our own findings. 2-We can only agree fully with the straight path. How we conduct ourselves, behave and live peacefully with others- Sirat Al Mustaqueem- All other subjects are relative to our own knowledge and to the knowledge that each generation reaches. This does not impact our salvation. GOD gave us commandment's that are clear and morals-instinct- ,etiquettes and instructions how to be good and do good. This is crystal clear in all religions. 3-Qoran is a live book. GOD s test must carry on through all the generations. There are prophesies, future events and future science that is waiting for the generations that will follow us. Look at how many verses we understand differently than past generations. We have more and different knowledge like new generation will have more and different knowledge also. 4- Every individual in every generation will be accountable for the use of their faculties at GOD. GOD s guidance is up to GOD Alone to give to those that satisfy His criteria not ours. 5- Up to now the basics of co existing together as humans is still not applied across our world why? Because we know fighting/war is wrong but we still fight We see others suffer through our greed and we are still greedy, We see injustice and we still ignore or cooperate in it. We see many clear wrong decisions and actions but we side with them or ignore them. Let us apply the basics at least and unite on this important way of life first? 6- "Wala Taajal Bi Qoran Min Kabli An Yukda Ilaika Wahyuhu". There is more to come brother from/ with Qoran. We just have to keep going at our own pace and current knowledge and do our best. Never assume we have the truth above others or stagnate. After all, the truth should automatically transform our character and behaviour . We should worry about that first and foremost ,stay humble and carry on with our daily struggles and persevere to get the basics right. 7- Best of luck to all the brothers and sisters in their journey. Thank you brother jkhan. With respect and friendship GOD bless you. Peace. Thank you... But... One thing to remind that I highlighted.. Never sychronize with anyone else... That's not what I was reiterating all the time... Just synchronise with truth so you automatically synchronise those who follow absolute truth in Quran... Truth makes ui our synchronise believers.. I hope you get it... To further simplify.. You don't need follow another driver who is following the trafic rules just coz he is a good obeying driver.. But you just follow the trafic rules as it deserves and as it instructs you to do so you obey rules so you definitely synchronise with all those who obey trafic rules all time.. For that you need to first know all trafic rules in its true nature or true form... Lack of knowledge and of it and cannot claim we follow traffic rules fully since I want to be good driver.. (can each follow different traffic rule on the same road and still claim we followed...) That's sums up briefly... So brother hunt truth it means know the Quran in its true sense then apply in life... Not easy but God guides who seek.. Thank you once again. I hope I didn't wasted your valuable time and hope like I learned something with conversation with you and Fusion hole you also got something... Finally.. Noway we can follow Quran if we took it wrong... That's what has happened to most of conventional Muslim and why not few of those who says we take quran alone.. We are bound ever to seek guidance to be on right track.

But wouldn't interfaith marriage be hard for people who practice their religions? I can see how it would be easy for a non-practicing Muslim and a non-practicing Christian for example to live peacefully since if neither practices their religion, there would be no clashes. But if a practicing Muslim has certain religious obligations to fulfill i.e. teach their future kids how to live as a Muslim and then this clashes with the Christian parent's views, there would be a lot of conflict? People can live harmoniously in mixed-race marriages but faith has to do with what your soul believes. For harmony, the soul has to be similar to connect, does it not? Any type of relationship is hard (or doomed to fail) without the existence of mutual respect and care/love towards each others. It's the principle of any type of relationship ranging from inter-country / nationality relationship up to friendship relationship. Harmony or balance exist if mutual respect and care/love towards each other exist. A video on Xi Jinping telling Trudeau why "relationship between our two nation is not working". https//youtu.be/4YkzzhI2EoI Now let's zoomed in to marriage, children is NOT the ownership of the parent. No parent has been able to control their children, especially their 'belief' and they are not supposed to! I know this is in conflict with Judaism->Christianity->Islam tradition. It actually started by Judaism which stated that the parent is punishable by Yahweh's law if their children worship other god(s). In Islam, specifically Sunnis and Shiites this is manifested in "The parent will be held responsible on Judgement Day if their children became a 'murtad' ". This drives parent to control every little thing about their children, including their thought, opinion and assumption / belief. Because they're afraid that they will be punished on Judgement Day. Yet this also shows that there's a lack of respect from the parent to the children. The parent need to respect that their children is not their property, their children is an independent entity which have their own independent thought. It also shows there's a lack of love between the parent to the children. By love here it means 'unconditional love', truly loving parent will never had any desire to control their children's thought and respect their independency including their rights for their own thought, opinion and assumption / belief. Thus there's some truth in your saying that when a fanatical Muslims married with fanatical Christians or fanatical Jews, such relationship will not work. Because each parties will try to control / overpowered each others, including other's thoughts, opinion and beliefs. And when they have children they will compete for control over their children, trying to control their children thoughts, opinion, assumption and belief. Both will never have respect for each others and also respect towards their own children.

Peace So as we know, the hadith seem to predict certain events of the future, and the symbolism of the one eye which seems to reflect Dajal etc. There are hadith about there being very tall buildings in the end times and if I remember correctly, homosexuality being prevalent, etc. I mean, these obviously do seem to describe the 21st century....we don't believe in hadith because we believe that God never gave us the command to follow them plus it never literally states to follow hadith books. But how can these hadith predictions seem so accurate? cathedrals are tall the shocking hadith for me is the magnetic field flipping it's happening as we speak, the magnetic poles have significantly moved since the 1800's and it is weaking at an accelerating pace

Good people doesn't compete with each others. Good people doesn't want to beat others. Good people helped others. That's the principle, and it really came down to intention within your heart. How you act based on your context is entirely up to you. Taking a Master degree at a university is a very small and tiny episode in your life or your friend's life. What inside your heart will determine who you really are.

Thanks Jafer, you have a point there in your reply. Yes the compiled Quran may not be there and yes it is not the only means through which a person can gain spiritual guidance or connect with their faith. Additionally, the idea that illiteracy would prevent someone from accessing guidance is also not necessarily true, as oral tradition and community support can play a significant role in transmitting knowledge and wisdom. By the way many Muslims today continue to draw inspiration and guidance from the Quran and other religious texts, even though they live in different eras and locations. Moreover, while Jesus never read the Quran obviously, it is possible that he may have encountered other religious texts or had access to spiritual guidance in other forms. For example, he would have been familiar with the Hebrew Bible, as you have also pointed out, and the traditions of Judaism, which may have influenced his teachings and beliefs. It is true that Jesus was raised in a Jewish family and would have been familiar with the Torah and other Jewish texts. As you mentioned, the Gospels do contain accounts of Jesus challenging some of the religious laws and traditions of his time, including the Sabbath laws. It is also worth noting that Jesus' teachings emphasized compassion, love, and forgiveness, and he often emphasized the spirit of the law over the letter of the law. While it is impossible to say for certain where Jesus received his guidance or inspiration, many Christians believe that he was guided by God and received divine revelation. They also believe that his teachings and actions were consistent with the will of God and the principles of love and compassion that are central to their faith. It is also possible that Jesus drew inspiration from other sources, such as the teachings of other Jewish scholars or the wisdom of the prophetic tradition. However, the exact source of his guidance remains a matter of interpretation and belief. Most of us here believe in Quran as the source of knowledge and guidance from God and Quran did mention all your questions in many verses and also explain the story of Jesus as a whole and also how Quran was revealed to the prophet and how his companions knew about the contents of Quran from Prophets teachings. thanks

Peace So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?" said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the BOOK and made me a prophet and He has وَجَعَلَنِي made me blessed wherever I am and has وَأَوْصَانِي enjoined upon me بِالصَّلَاةِ prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive And dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant (19 29/30/31) http//snag.gy/jNxli.jpg http//snag.gy/HRDtB.jpg http//snag.gy/tHJSG.jpg http//snag.gy/v4m6w.jpg If وَجَعَلَنِي is made ME then وَأَوْصَانِي should also be enjoined ME.

They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?" said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the BOOK and made me a prophet and He has وَجَعَلَنِي made me blessed wherever I am and has وَأَوْصَانِي enjoined me بِالصَّلَاةِ WITH/BY the prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive And dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant (19 29/30/31) But the above translation does not make any sense FOR REFERENCE أَرِنِي show me فَاتَّبِعُونِي then follow me يَمْسَسْنِي touched me لِتَقْتُلَنِي to kill me أَمَرْتَنِي commanded me بَيْنِي between me هَدَانِي guided me خَلَقْتَنِي created me آتَانِي given me تُخَاطِبْنِي address me يَعْصِمُنِي to protect me عَلَّمَنِي taught me اذْكُرْنِي mention me تَبِعَنِي follows me عَصَانِي disobeys me فَأَنظِرْنِي then reprieve me زِدْنِي increase me تَذَرْنِي leave me فَاذْكُرُونِي so remember me مِنِّي from me اتَّخِذُونِي take me There is no UPON in any of the above words that appear in the Quran but all of a sudden the translators added UPON while translating أَوْصَانِي AUSAANII QUESTION Why only Jesus has been enjoined prayer and zakah AS LONG AS HE REMAINS ALIVE and why all others have not been enjoined prayer and zakah AS LONG AS THEY REMAIN ALIVE? Did Jesus really offer RITUAL PRAYER and gave ZAKAH while in cradle? Please help Thanks Peace... I know it is a very old topic but the initiator had asked few questions... Yes... Isa was given. BIS SALAT AND ZAKAT... the correct meaning is Isa was bestowed (Asouni) with INTEGRITY (salat) AND PURIFICATION (zakat) as long as he lived... Special mercy from Allah like he gave to few other prophets example Yahya (1913.. Yahya was blessed with ZAKAT /purity)... But all human needs to establish Integrity and bringforth purification.. But these were blessed by Allah to be born till death with good integrity and purification... It is not ritual salat and conventional charity /Zakat... Thank you... Note on my other point in previous thread Gulam does suit for a baby boy or even a little boy who in tender age like 6-7... .. Thank you..

IMO, it's not the best idea
