I'm not 100% sure of what you mean, but I think I understand.

Somayya and Yaser, two of the first ten Muslims, were tortured after embracing Islam to a point that they even died from punishment. The cursed Abu Jahal jabbed his weapons in Somayya's private parts and left her and her husband under the unbearable heat of the sun in the scortching desert and placed rocks and metal on them to absorb the heat of the sun. The beloved Messenger of Allah (may Almighty Allah bless him and grant him peace), with all his mercy and caring heart, used to walk past them and, to calm them down and keep them patient, would tell them, "Patiience, of family of Yaser! Verily! You promise is Paradise!" 

Somayya was the first ever martyr of Islam and Yaser, her husband, followed. Their son,Ammar, was then forced to denounce Islam or get killed like his parents did. It was too much for him as he just experienced both his parents getting tortured and dying so he just agreed with Quraysh so that they might leave him alone.

He then used to sit alone, away from the rest of the Muslims, until one day, when the Messenger of Allah (may Almighty Allah bless him and grant him peace) noticed him being isolated from the rest of the Muslims, sent some of his noble companions (may Almighty Allah be pleased with them all) to ask him why. He told them of the occurence and they went back and informed the Messenger of Allah (may Almighty Allah bless him and grant him peace). He told them to go back and ask Ammar what was in his heart when he said that. Ammar said that his heart did not even move the slightest bit from the fact that there exists no god but Allah. He then told his companions to tell him that, if they ever do that to him again, to tell them the same thing he told them in the first place.

Islam is supposed to be a religion of ease. The noble Messenger of Allah (may Almighty Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, "Verily! Actions are by their intentions, and every person will get what he intended." However, this is no excuse to neglect prayers and use this Hadith Shareef as an excuse like many who misunderstand it do.

Then after this whole incident, a verse was revealed, stating, "Whoever disbelieved in Allah after his belief, except him who is forced thereto and whose heart is at rest with faiith, but such as open their breasts to disbelief, on them is wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a great torment." [16:106]

'In Sha' Allah this helps. May you please explain with more detail what Kitman is?

Muhammad bin Ishaq did not narrate the Hadith. There are two different opinions on what the verse mentioned in the Hadith said. One is mentioned by Muhammad bin Ishaq which includes Maria the Copt, whereas the other has completely other narration.

By the way, if Maria was the wife of the Messenger of Allah (may Almighty Allah bless him and grant him peace) or even his concubine, having sexual relations with her is not unlawful or illegal, and my evidence is the fifth to seventh verses from Surah Al-Mu'minun, where Almighty Allah lists the attributes of the righteous and successful believers, and He states, "And they who guard their private parts except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed - but whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors." [23:5-7]


Concubines are what is referred to as what 'their right hands posses'. A clearer interpretation would be that of Yusuf Ali, where he states, "Who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame, but those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors." [23:5-7]

Hope that answered your questions, akhi.

Maria the Copt was either a concubine or a wife of the Messenger of Allah (may Almighty Allah bless him and grant him peace).
The oath was to never approach Maria. I have my doubts about the story's authenticy (and Almighty Allah knows best of course) because of the narrator being Muhammad ibn Ishaq, an unreliable one.

Isn't Prophet Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) the Messiah in the Noble Qur'an too?
In addition, notice how I said that it is agreed that this gospel did undergo some fabrications but not as much as the other canonical gospels did. FF Bruce, a former Christian and a Bible scholar states in all his books that they do not have a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of any of the original manuscripts of the Bible. That's five times the word 'copy' was used, by the way.

As-Salamu `Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh brothers and sisters in Islam,
I've heard by Christians that this gospel is the most accurate gospel but it is banned because it corresponds more to Islamic beliefs than to present-day Christianity. However, it is believed that this gospell did experience a small number of fabrications, but is the most accurate and least fabricated of all canonical gospels. It is the Gospel of Saint Barnabas (peace and blessings be upon him). For more information on this gospel, see http://barnabas.net/.

Anyway, the 97th chapter of this gospel is shocking as it denies that Prophet Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) is God or a son of God and mentions the Beloved Messenger of Allah (may Almighty Allah bless him and grant him peace) by name. This gospel also denies the crucifixion of Prophet Jesus (peace and blessigns be upon him) and states that he was raised up by God like Prophet Elijah (peace and blessings be upon him) in 2 Kings. When I heard about this gospel being the most accurate but being banned at the same time from a Christian, I was eager to find out why. I swear to God I expected none of this when I researched about this gospel.

The 97th chapter reads, "`Unworthy though I am to untie his hosen, I have received grace and mercy from God to see him.'

Then answered the priest, with the governor and the king, saying: `Distress not thyself, O Jesus, holy one of God, because in our time shall not this sedition be any more, seeing that we will write to the sacred Roman senate in such wise that by imperial decree none shall any more call thee God or son of God.'

Then said Jesus: `With your words I am not consoled, because where ye hope for light darkness shall come; but my consolation is in the coming of the messenger, who shall destroy every false opinion of me, and his faith shall spread and shall take hold of the whole world, for so hath God promised to Abraham our father. And that which giveth me consolation is that his faith shall have no end, but shall be kept inviolate by God.'

The priest answered: `After the coming of the messenger of God shall other prophets come?'

Jesus answered: `There shall not come after him true prophets sent by God, but there shall come a great number of false prophets, whereat I sorrow. For Satan shall raise them up by the just judgement of God, and they shall hide themselves under the pretext of my gospel.'

Herod answered: `How is it a just judgement of God that such impious men should come?'

Jesus answered: `It is just that he who will not believe in the truth to his salvation should believe in a lie to his damnation. Wherefore I say unto you, that the world hath ever despise the true prophets and loved the false, as can be seen in the time of Michaiah and Jeremiah. For every like loveth his like.'

Then said the priest: `How shall the Messiah be called, and what sign shall reveal his coming?'

Jesus answered: `The name of the Messiah is admirable, for God himself gave him the name when he had created his soul, and placed it in a celestial splendour. God said: "Wait Mohammed; for thy sake I will to create paradise, the world, and a great multitude of creatures, whereof I make thee a present, insomuch that whoso bless thee shall be blessed, and whoso shall curse thee shall be accursed. When I shall send thee into the world I shall send thee as my messenger of salvation, and thy word shall be true, insomuch that heaven and earth shall fail, but thy faith shall never fail." Mohammed is his blessed name.'

Then the crowd lifted up their voices, saying: `O God, send us thy messenger: O Mohammed, come quickly for the salvation of the world!'"

Take care guys, and may Allah, the Almighty and Sublime, make us all benefit from this post and all other authentic and good posts about His religion on this and all other websites. Allahumma Ameen. :D

As-Salamu `Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh akhi,
Where did you read this Hadith? This is what I got, "For one year I wanted to ask `Umar about the two women who helped each other against the Prophet but I was afraid of him. One day he dismounted his riding animal and went among the trees of Arak to answer the call of nature, and when he returned, I asked him and he said, "(They were) `Aisha and Hafsa." Then he added, "We never used to give significance to ladies in the days of the Pre-lslamic period of ignorance, but when Islam came and Allah mentioned their rights, we used to give them their rights but did not allow them to interfere in our affairs. Once there was some dispute between me and my wife and she answered me back in a loud voice. I said to her, 'Strange! You can retort in this way?' She said, 'Yes. Do you say this to me while your daughter troubles Allah's Apostle?' So I went to Hafsa and said to her, 'I warn you not to disobey Allah and His Apostle.' I first went to Hafsa and then to Um Salama and told her the same. She said to me, 'O `Umar! It surprises me that you interfere in our affairs so much that you would poke your nose even into the affairs of Allah's Apostle and his wives.' So she rejected my advice. There was an Ansari man; whenever he was absent from Allah's Apostle and I was present there, I used to convey to him what had happened (on that day), and when I was absent and he was present there, he used to convey to me what had happened as regards news from Allah's Apostle . During that time all the rulers of the nearby lands had surrendered to Allah's Apostle except the king of Ghassan in Sham, and we were afraid that he might attack us. All of a sudden the Ansari came and said, 'A great event has happened!' I asked him, 'What is it? Has the Ghassani (king) come?' He said, 'Greater than that! Allah's Apostle has divorced his wives! I went to them and found all of them weeping in their dwellings, and the Prophet had ascended to an upper room of his. At the door of the room there was a slave to whom I went and said, "Ask the permission for me to enter." He admitted me and I entered to see the Prophet lying on a mat that had left its imprint on his side. Under his head there was a leather pillow stuffed with palm fires. Behold! There were some hides hanging there and some grass for tanning. Then I mentioned what I had said to Hafsa and Um Salama and what reply Um Salama had given me. Allah's Apostle smiled and stayed there for twenty nine days and then came down."
Where is Mariyah mentioned?
Where does it state Islam deprived females from rights they had had? It actually states the complete opposite.
Akhi, tell those people that they cannot just take any Hadith they like and play around with it as they want. You have to know the whole story behind it. For example, can you comment on two talking in a converstation you heard bits of and do not even know the whole story or incident behind?

"He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah; but those who turn away - We have not sent you over them as a guardian." [4:80]

As-Salamu `Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh brothers,
Do you know that the Glorious Qur'an explains the Big Bang even better than the Big Bang explains itself?


The Big Bang theory states that the Universe was once combined into a small, hot, dense zone called a singularity. However, due to some type of explosion, the universe began, and is believed to still be, expanding.

The Noble Qur'an states, "Do the disbelievers not see that the heavens and earth were was a joint peice, then We split them and made every living thing from water? Will they not believe even then?" [The Glorious Qur'an, 21:30]
 
In addition, the Noble Qur'an also states, "We built the heavens by Our authority; and We are the Lord of power and expanse." [The Glorious Qur'an, 51:47]

The 'joint peice', which is sometimes even interpreted as 'integrated mass', described in the verse correspond perfectly to the definition of a singularity, which is a zone consisting of such intense pressure compressed into infinite density. However, it is a misconception, as experts say, that an explosion literally took place. Instead of the scenario being thought of as a balloon being inflated and then popping, it is more of a balloon being infinitely inflated, with the balloon playing the role of the Universe. Amazingly, this perfectly corresponds to the second verse, in which the Universe is described to be expanding and not undergoing a fierce explosion. In conclusion, the Noble Qur'an described the Big Bang theory better than Sir Edwin Hubble himself!

You can check out many scientific miracles of the Glorious Qur'an that further support it to be the infallible Word of the Almighty Himself, as well as many proofs of the Existence of Allah, the Almighty and Sublime, on this website www.miraclesofthequran.com. This website too has a section about miracles of the Glorious Qur'an if not mistaken.

Take care.
