hamza yusaf?

Submission_To_Peace · October 17, 2008, 4:25pm

^ Well, he is also a strong candidate, in my humble opinion (which is debatable).

Btw, you and he have many good qualities in common (Masha’Allah) along with name. For example, sincerity in explaining the truth with logical reasoning =)

Re: GS Religion Forum [Q & A]

We should ask Azkar bhai or ehsan bhai.They might know.

Submission_To_Peace · October 18, 2008, 2:05am

^ Walaikum Assalam. True, may be they were the mods themselves in the beginning.

My guess is the following:

Re: GS Religion Forum [Q & A]

Who named Jum’ah(friday) as Jum’ah?

cricketplaya · October 18, 2008, 2:26am

So, did you get the correct answer? : )

I believe Mufti Taqi Usmani (may Allah preserve him)

UZ · October 18, 2008, 2:54am

yeh kaisa sawal I thought we were asking religious questions?

When toofan-e-nooh came was all the world destroyed? And only his sons and the people who were on the ship were only people left and all the humanity is born from their?

Submission_To_Peace · October 18, 2008, 3:04am

Good question, I would also like to know

Yes, a highly respected scholar of present times (Masha’Allah). It is a difficult one for me to decide. Along with him are Maulana Tariq Jameel, Dr. Israar Ahmed,…etc.

Well, I mentioned that in the first post that you may ask questions related to the forum as well. =)

^ True, I heard the same

Re: GS Religion Forum [Q & A]

I just read this But nothing of that sort is mentioned here.

Allah told the story thus:* He (Noah) said: “Embark therein in the Name of Allah will be its moving course and its resting anchorage. Surely, my Lord is Oft Forgiving, most Merciful.” so it (the ship) sailed with them amidst the waves like mountains, and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (apart), “O my son! Embark with us and be not with the disbeliveers.” The son replied, “I will betake myself to a mountain, it will save me from the water.” Noah said: “This day there is no savior from the Decree of Allah except him on whom He has mercy.” And a wave came in between them so he (the son) was among the drowned.*
It was said: “O Earth! Swallow up your water, and O sky! Withhold (your rain).” The water was diminished (made to subside) and the Decree (of Allah) was fulfilled (the destruction of the people of Noah). And it (the ship) rested on Mount Judi, and it was said: “Away with the people who are Zalimeen (polytheists, and wrongdoing)!”
Noah called upon his Lord and said, “O my Lord! Verily, my son is of my family! Certainly, Your Promise is true, and You are the Most Just of the judges.” HE said: “O Noah! Surely, he is not of your family; verily, his work is unrighteous, so ask not of Me that of which you have no knowledge! I admonish you, lest you be one of the ignorants.”
Noah said: “O my Lord! I seek refuge with You from asking You that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have Mercy on me, I would indeed be one of the losers.”
*It was said: “O Noah! Come down (from the ship) with peace from Us and blessings on you and on the people o\who are with you(and on some of their offspring), but (there will be other) people to whom We shall grant their pleasures (for a time), but in the end a painful torment will reach them from Us.” *(Ch 11:41-48 Quran)
With the issue of the divine command, calm returned to earth, the water retreated, and the dry land shone once again in the rays of the sun. The flood had cleansed the earth of the disbeliveers and polytheists.
Noah released the birds, and the beats which scattered over the earth. After that the believers disembarked. Noah put his forehead to the ground in prostration. The survivors kindled a fire and sat around it. Lighting a fire had been prohibited on board so as not to ignite the ship’s wood and burn it up. None of them had eaten hot food during the entire period of the floor. Following the disembarkation there was a day of fasting in thanks to Allah.
The Quran draws the curtain on Noah’s story. We do not know how his affairs with his people continued. All we know or can ascertain is that on his deathbed he requested his son to worship Allah alone, Noah then passed away.
