Following are some of the gems of great Imam Bukhari , will get some from Imam Muslim in the next post.
I guess these hadiths are relevant to our topic at hand.

Volume 1, Book 6, Number 296
Narrated 'Aisha
The Prophet used to lean on my lap and recite Qur'an while I was in menses.

Volume 1, Book 6, Number 299
Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad
(on the authority of his father) 'Aisha said "Whenever Allah's Apostle wanted to fondle anyone of us during her periods (menses), he used to order her to put on an Izar and start fondling her." 'Aisha added, "None of you could control his sexual desires as the Prophet could."

Volume 1, Book 6, Number 301
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri
Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."

Volume 1, Book 6, Number 306
Narrated 'Aisha
Once one of the wives of the Prophet did Itikaf along with him and she was getting bleeding in between her periods. She used to see the blood (from her private parts) and she would perhaps put a dish under her for the blood. (The sub-narrator 'Ikrima added, 'Aisha once saw the liquid of safflower and said, "It looks like what so and so used to have.&quot

Volume 1, Book 5, Number 270
Narrated Muhammad bin Al-Muntathir
on the authority of his father that he had asked 'Aisha about the saying of Ibn 'Umar(i.e. he did not like to be a Muhrim while the smell of scent was still coming from his body). 'Aisha said, "I scented Allah's Apostle and he went round (had sexual intercourse with) all his wives, and in the morning he was Muhrim (after taking a bath)."

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 6
Narrated Anas
The Prophet I used to go round (have sexual relations with) all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 13o
Narrated 'Abdullah
We used to participate in the holy battles led by Allah's Apostle and we had nothing (no wives) with us. So we said, "Shall we get ourselves castrated?" He forbade us that and then allowed us to marry women with a temporary contract (2) and recited to us -- 'O you who believe ! Make not unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you, but commit no transgression.' (5.87)

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 15
Narrated 'Aisha
Allah's Apostle said (to me), "You have been shown to me twice in (my) dreams. A man was carrying you in a silken cloth and said to me, 'This is your wife.' I uncovered it; and behold, it was you. I said to myself, 'If this dream is from Allah, He will cause it to come true.' "

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 17
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah
When I got married, Allah's Apostle said to me, "What type of lady have you married?" I replied, "I have married a matron' He said, "Why, don't you have a liking for the virgins and for fondling them?" Jabir also said Allah's Apostle said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you might play with her and she with you?'

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 30
Narrated Abdullah bin 'Umar
Allah's Apostle said, "Evil omen is in the women, the house and the horse.'

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64
Narrated 'Aisha
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 90
Narrated Aisha
When the Prophet married me, my mother came to me and made me enter the house (of the Prophet) and nothing surprised me but the coming of Allah's Apostle to me in the forenoon.

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 118
Narrated 'Ursa
Aisha said, "While the Ethiopians were playing with their small spears, Allah's Apostle screened me behind him and I watched (that display) and kept on watching till I left on my own." So you may estimate of what age a little girl may listen to amusement.

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 140
Narrated Anas
The tradition, (of the Prophet) is that if someone marries a virgin and he has already a matron wife (with him), then he should stay with the virgin for seven days; and if someone marries a matron (and he has already a virgin wife with him) then he should stay with her for three days.

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 144
Narrated 'Aisha
that during his fatal ailment, Allah's Apostle, used to ask his wives, "Where shall I stay tomorrow? Where shall I stay tomorrow?" He was looking forward to Aisha's turn. So all his wives allowed him to stay where he wished, and he stayed at 'Aisha's house till he died there. 'Aisha added He died on the day of my usual turn at my house. Allah took him unto Him while his head was between my chest and my neck and his saliva was mixed with my saliva.

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 177
Narrated 'Aisha
Abu Bakr admonished me and poked me with his hands in the flank, and nothing stopped me from moving at that time except the position of Allah's Apostle whose head was on my thigh.

Salaam,

Dear Raaajah,

I guess you missed the whole point of my post.

I didn't start this post to discuses which hadiths are good and which are bad.
I think so many people on so many occations and sites did that already , no point blahbing about them anymore.

The issue at hand is salman rushdie and the film-maker of "innocence of Muslims" were blasphemous with their stuff as claimed by the sunnis and shias around the world and jump to violence with their pathetic rallies and stupid & funny signboards against america , Jews and Christians or the same stuff is present in both sunni and shia HOLY Sunnah and hadith since more than 1200 years.

As a matter of fact all those stupid fools should be burning effigies of Imam Tabari & co and calling them kafirs, murtids and issuing fatwas of blasphemy against them !
People deserve to know the truth and I'm sure at least by exposing those hidden enemies within our ranks we can bring a little change in the way people think and act on those satanic hadiths and seerah.

Ps Looking forward to read your book ASAP

Peace Rameez,

Let us try to understand the concept in a different way ..

Let me start by asking you a very simple question ?

Which is more important of the two , A) Message B ) Messenger ?

Its really common sense that messengers are required only If their is a message.
Their has to be a message for the messenger to deliver or else nobody needs a messenger without a message.

Coming back to your argument of "Obey Allah and Obey the Messenger" Its a message in literal sense. Now , Is Allah directly commanding/ sent us that message or the Qur'an was revealed in a form of book on a mountain top ? No right ? Allah is ordering us through a messenger, So first of all people need to believe that a Person X is a messenger of Allah and he is delivering a certain message from Allah.
As per our knowledge of history , how many people during the time of Prophet Mohammed were atheist ?
Let us find out,

1. Jews were not atheist
2. Christians were not atheist
3. City Arab were not atheist
4. Nomad Arabs were also not atheist

So, it means that more than 99% of population around Prophet Mohammed were believers in God.
Now Imagine God Telling those Believers- in- God that "Only Obey God/Allah"
what do you think they would have said ? For sure they would have told that we already Obey God.
nobody would have listen to Prophet Mohammed or would have taken him seriously because they could have thought that we are already "Obeying God". What about the message of Qur'an then ?
That's the reason Allah is Ordering people that If you Obey/Believe in God/Allah then Obey/believer the Messenger as well.
So once people believe in a messenger then they will obey his message and that message is Qur'an.
the fact of the matter is if someone is Obeying the Qur'an then he is Obeying the messenger as well as The Allah / GOD

Peace,

How about some very radical understanding of Quran with regards to Adam ?? I personally think that the below mentioned rendering of Adam's story make lots of sense and logic.

Surah Baqara 2 30-39

30. Moreover call to mind the time when your Lord informed the chiefs in the land that I am going to raise in the land an administrator. They said, are You going to contain thereby such a people as create fights and wars causing bloodshed even though we strive hard to establish Your rule in the land in order to remove all ills from between us through Your rule? He said, I will make evident in due course that which is not yet obvious to you.

31. For that reason Allah made evident to Adam the names of all the tasks related to departments of the administration and their related full detail and then He put them before the chiefs and said, tell me the names of all the tasks related to departments of administration as to what they are all about if you are truly capable of carrying them out.

32. They said, free of all problems is Your rule and we have no knowledge beyond that which You have granted us, indeed You make things obvious wisely.

33. He said, O Adam, inform them about the names of their tasks related to the departments of the administration. After he had taught them the names of their tasks related to the departments of the administration Allah said, did I not inform you that I make evident secrets of the heavens and the earth? That is how I will make obvious through your actions all that you reveal and all that you conceal.

34. That is why we said to the chiefs, accept for Adam position of chief administrator and they all accepted that save Iblees, he instead rebelled because he was of those who reject and oppose rule of Allah.

35. Therefore we said, O Adam, dwell you and your people in the blissful kingdom and participate therein as you desire but do not get involved in disputes and fights because you will become one of those who breach divine constitution.

36. But Iblees conspired against Adam and his people and brought them out of blissful state of existence in which they were. For this reason we said, live as you wish with animosity in some of you for others or friendship and face the consequences, in the earth for all of you is a dwelling place with livelihood for a set time.

37. At length Adam realised some guidelines from his Lord so he turned to His guidance, indeed He is the one Who guides again and again.

3 That is how We said, live therein all of you together in peace as and when there comes to your mind the need for guidance from Me because any people who follow My guidance for such will be neither anxiety nor suffering through regrets.

39. And those who will reject and oppose Our set tasks such people will end up in fire of hatred against each other and in that state they will remain for as long as they live in that state of mind.

Comments, Suggestions and also Criticism are welcome

Regards,

Read the whole verse brother. God corrects them that god doesn't have a SON. So it's very clear that some took "son of god" to the literal meaning as there was no need to correct them if they already knew that god doesnt have any son. In other verses god also corrects people who claimed that he has daughters.

Peace Sister, I think we are on the same side of the river with our backs facing each other )

I'm also trying to say the same thing that, people who either by mistake or by design took any prophets & angles as sons & daughters of GOD are indeed doing a BIG Blasphemy in the sight of God and indeed He is and have counted them one by one !

Regards,

Peace Maha,

It is the understanding and misuse of the word ''son of god'' which is pointed out in the verse and ordered to stop.

Kindly explain, In the light of 1988, Waqaloo ittakhatha alrrahmanu waladan, how you came to this conclusion ??

FYI The key words are ittakhatha & waladan )

Regards,

Peace Brother MMK,

My questions are really basic ones but till date didn't get a convincing reply from many big Alims & muftis in the sub continent and middle east.

Hope I can get some insight on these question in FM. Inshallah

Q1 ) Where the story of Adam's creation taking place, on earth or in heaven.

230, And your Lord said to the angels "I am placing a successor on the earth." They said "Will You place in it he who would make corruption in it, and spill blood; while we praise by Your glory, and exalt to You?" He said "I know what you do not know."

Q1.a) If it is on earth then why God is telling them..
235, And We said "O Adam, reside you and your mate in the paradise, and eat from it bountifully as you both wish, and do not approach this tree, else you will be of those who have wronged.
236, So, the devil caused them to slip from it, and he brought them out from what they were in, and We said "Descend; for you are enemies to one another; and on the earth you will have residence and provisions until the appointed time."

Q1.b) If it in heaven then was Adam had a body like us humans with all biological short comings and requirements? Does heaven actually have oxygen in it or he was using a Oxygen cylinders as today's astronauts do ? paradise is in heaven or it's just that Jannah = garden ? and when he was asked to Descend from paradise to earth then, did he came in a space craft or something ??

238, We said "Descend from it all of you, so when the guidance comes from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, they will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve."
Q.2 ) what does "all of you" stand for in the above ayat? is it only adam , eve and satan as the mullahs have us believe ?

2 34 And We said to the angels "Yield to Adam," so they yielded except for Satan, he refused and became arrogant, and became of the rejecters.
235 And We said "O Adam, reside you and your mate in the paradise, and eat from it bountifully as you both wish, and do not approach this tree, else you will be of those who have wronged."

Q.3, As per traditional understanding of (Jews, Christians and Muslims )Adam and eve were living happily in the paradise for many years or at least some time until Satan came and made them eat the fruit of that forbidden tree. The question is was satan after rejecting to yield/submit to adam and becoming a rejecter was allowed to go/sneak into God's paradise and make adam and his mate disobey a direct command of God ?
I mean can satan wisper to people in Paradise as well ? I was hoping that satan wispering is a earthly phenomenon and it will end here on earth itself
Ok, Its getting really boring and long, I guess.
Will ask more once I get a reply for these questions.

regards,

1988 And they said the Almighty has taken a son!
1989 You have come with a gross blasphemy.
1990 The heavens are about to shatter from it, and the earth crack open, and the mountains fall and
crumble.
1991 That they claimed that the Almighty had a son!
1992 And what need does the Almighty have to take a son?
1993 When all there is in the heavens and the earth will come to the Almighty as servants.
1994 He has encompassed them, and counted them one by one.
1995 And all of them will come to Him on the Day of Resurrection, all alone.

Peace all,
These verses are not directed to any one group in particular but as a blanket rule to all who say God has taken a son and as per Quran, Its a big/gross blasphemy, period.
Now, we human have no business to pin point others for that blasphemy as the Almighty have and is counting them all one by one.

we only need to mind our own business i.e
19 96 Those who believe and do good works, the Almighty will make for them affection.

PS Good work also includes doing dawah, so we should all do our part to the best of our God giving abilities and hope for affection from the Almighty. Inshallah

Salaam MMKhan,

Interesting Topic, I too thought about 'Creation Thing' many times and have few questions of my own though will put them in my next post. In the meantime you could ponder over 7 172-174 to get few answers to your questions or at least some sort of clues. Inshallah

Peace Shumali,

Thanks for the link. I found a very interesting piece of article.

Development of the Ka'ba

Ancient cities often had many temples where worship was offered to different Gods. Tourists love to move from one temple to another in these ancient cities. (There were a number of temples in the ancient city of Petra.) While these temples were impressive, this was not the case in smaller towns and villages. Smaller, poorer centers could not afford to build one temple, let alone a series of temples to various Gods. This presented a problem when the people worshiped a pantheon of Gods. The solution was to develop a Ka'aba, or a local spot that was considered holy. Into this holy place all religious objects were gathered and put on display. In this way, a person could move around the Ka'ba, and pray before whatever god he or she chose. The worshiper could also walk in a circle around the Ka'ba, praying to all of the gods in succession.

The Ka'ba practice of the Middle East came to an end when Mohammed, the founder of Islam declared that Allah was more powerful than the other gods. His followers then went around the country destroying city temples and village Ka'bas, and elevating Allah, until he became the sole God, and thus a monotheistic religion was born.

To All,
Any comments or insight into this theory ??

It may not be the coincidence.

So, why these people in Makkah chose those two odd figures 3 and 7? Are these people influenced by other religions?

Peace MMK & Pazuzu )

I personally think that If Prophet Mohammed was from Mecca and If the 'real Islam' prevailed during his and his companions time as mentioned in history then I'm 110% sure that no Prophet of Allah will allow/ask his people/nation to worship a stone cube and most probably the prophet and his companions must have destroyed the OLD pagan stone cube.
and it was really easy for the pagan to make a new one or rebuild the destroyed cube house under the guise of a hadith that prophet Mohammed always wanted to make the kabah as it was made by prophet Ibrahim ?

I mean, when those guys can sell more than a million hadith and sunnah" Saying" to billion people for more than 1000 years then how hard it could be to sell one stone cube as a bayt Allah, Qibla, etc??

Regards,

I saw the video link that you give to show what is inside the Kaabah. Do anybody know what is the cube structure inside the Kaabah that can be seen on this video, http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5uaP0pzoGI at 037?
I?m just curious.

Peace,

That is an alleged second door of Kabah made by Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr .

Construction after the Prophet's Time - Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr

The Syrian army destroyed the kaaba in Muharram 64 (Hijri date) and before the next Hajj Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr, may Allah be pleased with him, reconstructed the kaaba from the ground up.

Ibn az-Zubayr wanted to make the kaaba how the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) wanted it, on the foundation of the Prophet Ibrahim. Ibn az-Zubayr said, "I heard Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) say, The Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said "If your people had not quite recently abandoned the Ignorance (Unbelief), and if I had sufficient provisions to rebuild it , I would have added five cubits to it from the Hijr. Also, I would make two doors; one for people to enter therein and the other to exit." (Bukhari).

Ibn az-Zubayr said, "Today, I can afford to do it and I do not fear the people. Ibn az-Zubayr built the kaaba on Prophet Ibrahim's foundation. He put the roof on three pillars with the wood of Aoud (a perfumed wood with aroma which is traditionally burned to get a good smell out of it in Arabia).

In his construction he put two doors, one facing the east the other facing the west, as the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) wanted but did not do in his lifetime. He rebuilt the kaaba on the Prophet Ibrahim's foundation, which meant that the Hateem area was included. The Hateem is the area adjacent to the kaaba enclosed by a low semi-circular wall.

Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr also made the following additions and modifications
Put a small window close to the roof of the kaaba to allow for light.
Moved the door of the kaaba to ground level and added a second door to the kaaba.
Added nine cubits to the height of the kaaba, making it twenty cubits high.
Iits walls were two cubits wide.
Reduced the pillars inside the House to three instead of six as were earlier built by Quraish.
For reconstruction, ibn az-Zubayr put up four pillars around the kaaba and hung cloth over them until the building was completed. People began to do Tawaf around these pillars at all times, so Tawaf of the kaaba was never abandoned, even during reconstruction.

Then again histroy records that another guy undid those changes

During Abdul Malik bin Marwan's time in 74 Hijri (or 693 according to the Gregorian calendar), Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf al-Thaqafi, the known tyrant of that time, with the approval of Umayyad Khalifa Abdul Malik bin Marwan, demolished what Ibn az-Zubayr had added to it from the older foundation of Prophet Ibrahim, and restored its old structure as the Quraish had had it.

Some of the changes he made were the following
He rebuilt it in the smaller shape which is found today
Took out the Hateem
Walled up the western door (whose signs are still visible today) and left the rest as it was
Pulled down the wall in the Hateem area.
Removed the wooden ladder Ibn az-Zubayr had put inside the kaaba.
Reduced the door's height by five cubits
When Abdul Malik bin Marwan came for Umra and heard the hadith that it was the wish of the Prophet (s.a.w.) for the kaaba to be constructed the way
Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr had built it, he regretted his actions.

I suggest you read the full article in the following link to get an idea about the histroy of Kabah constructions after the death of Prophet Mohammed.

http//www.missionislam.com/knowledge/kaaba.htm

Salam. Ive been researching on the qibla issue . what about 2145. We are told not to follow the qibla of the people of the scriptures . And their Qibla is Jerusalem right?

Peace Submitter Ays,
Well, The issue is not about Qibla whether it is Mecca or Jerusalem , My concern is, are the Muslims praying to those three deities represented by those three pillars or it is a coincidence that the kabah have three pillars inside.

Wakas, Thanks for the info and advice.

Regards,

Peace Pazuzu )

Thanks for your valuable insight but my suspicion is not based on that cubic structure alone as everyone including the hadithers will attest to the fact that it is a man made building.
Generally pillars are for supporting the roof of any building. My Point is, why have three pillars in a square looking structure -\ they could easily had 2 or four pillars for better support or maybe 6 but why choose those odd 3 pillars ???

and The Quran mentions about 3 odd deities ! Is this a coincidence ?? or a well planned scheme to continue worshipping those three pagan deities 200-300 years after the death of Prophet Mohammed as in the case of Hadiths and fiqh ???

Regards,

Salaam khan saab,

Thanks for the info brother, could you be kind enough to give me the link to any online , PDF or eBook copy of Shah Rafiuddin's Urdu translation of Al Quran.

Salam A2Z,

It is MASOOMboy's question regarding the forbidden month you should respond to first instead of responding to me.

Thanks but NO Thanks nope

I'm not here to prove anything or anybody wrong or right,

I already had enough for mullaism and genuinely looking for answers to some of my doubts so that I could understand AlQuran in a better and more practical way and through which I could be a good Musmil/Momin and a follower of Allah's Deen pr

Personally, I believe that we all should leave non-sense and illogical stuff out of our discussions and I request/suggest that together we all should use our vast knowledge, resources and energy to understand AlQuran as best as we could without getting into some cheap publicity and points scoring on our fellow Muslim or seeker.

Peace )

Salaam Asana,

Thanks for the info but we don't have Zulhijjah as a month mentioned in Quran.
moreover its been proved time and again by Quran-alone submitters that Hajj can be preformed in any of those 4 restricted months.
If I were to accept your line of months then more or else I'm being forced to believe indirectly in those hadiths/history of mullas specially Mr. Tabari and if you still want to go with the history then either we have hadith or so called "Islamic historian" telling us that this are the 12 names of each month,
1.MUHARRAM 2. SAFAR 3.RABI-AL-AWWAL 4. RABI-AL-THANI
5. JUMADA-AL-AWWAL 6. JUMADA-AL-THANI 7. RAJAB 8. SHABAN 9. RAMADAN
10. SHAWWAL 11. ZUL-QAADAH 12. ZUL-HIJJAH)
My question to you is how can we be 100% sure about those 12 names in the 1st place ?? Maybe they got it all wrong or the least they could have mixed them up with pagan names &

Brother Layth,

I understand that the four restricted months are sequential (Quran 91-5)
But regarding those months ending with the approach of heat ((981) I have few doubts,

1. Are those 4 restricted months are same globally?

2)Or we would have to assume the approach of heat as per Arabian climate ?

I'm asking you because the approach of heat differs from country to country across the world ??

peace pr

What makes you think that them being sacred would matter to humanity in order to be a muslim?
It might not be necessary to know that

Salam Kaiokenred, Allah is clearly saying to us "therefore be not unjust to yourselves regarding them" I take it as a command and want to know about those "restricted " months.

here was no clear question in your post, which is why it may have been skipped

Salam Bro Layth, I have mentioned my question directly in the post subject, Don't know how much more clear I should be ??? hmm

Anyhow the 4 Sacred months according to the Submitters areZulhijjah, Muharram, Safar, Rabi I

The 4 restricted months are sequential and begin with the first month of the year. The first month of the year is the month of Ramadhan that coincides with the winter solsctice (longest night of the year).

Still we have got contradiction and no direct quote from Quran what so ever, Kindly quote at least something related to my question or even a small clue from Quran as I only believe in Quran pr

Thanks )
