What is the concept of mannat in Islam. Are some forms allowed where others disallowed or is it totally against the Islamic injunctions. Please give your opinions with relevant verses/ahadith and stick to the topic rather then calling people mushrik etc.
The correct word is 'Nazar' while Mannat is an Urdu word for it, as far as my knowledge is concerned. Now Nazar is totally Islamic and in fact Quranic, we read two episodes of Nazar in Quran, please read (3 :35) and (76 :7-8).
Re: Is Mannat allowed in Islam?
hmm interesting. I always do mannats when I have to ask Allah for something important. but insha'Allah will try and find more info on it and reply.
there are two terms used.
- nazar.
- nyaz.
nazar is jaiz (allowed) but only for allah not other than allah.
niaz is innovation bidat it is not allwed in islam.
