Re: Its time i learn islam properly.

http://www.tafsir.com is as good a place as any to start

Re: Its time i learn islam properly.

i repeat my advice…
try to get hard copies of authentic books…
dont trust online material, u never know if someone has knowingly/unknowingly changed anything in the original material and totally altered the way it appears…

if u cant get hands on tafsir books, try to atleast read explanation of The Holy Quran…
Yusuf Ali is good for starters…
mohsin and halali is also good…

Re: Its time i learn islam properly.

Sound advice, only an idiot learns in a vaccum – by him/her self and just reading.

What’s this word “dhikr”? I have never heard it. It sounds like the Urdu work dhikaar meaning to burp.

Re: Its time i learn islam properly.

dhikr or zikr is remembering allah…can be “subhan allah” , “al-hamdulillah” and many things…like reciting kalima…okkk here’s the link


God has ordered, in His Holy Book, for the Believers to engage in His Remembrance (Dhikr), day and night, silently or aloud, standing, sitting or lying down. Dhikrullah, as practiced by the Prophet (s) and his Companions and the Followers after them, and as agreed by all the 'ulama of the Nation, is something needed by the believers and a firm order from God. Here we would like to present some of the evidences of the need for keeping Dhikr, a description of some of its types and ways and the opinions of the scholars of Islam on the practice of Dhikrullah.


**
Mention of Dhikr in the Qur’an **
Dhikr is mentioned in many places in the Holy Qur’an, and in most verses, what was meant by the word dhikr is glorification (tasbih), praising (tahmid), lauding (takbir), testification (tahlil), as well as praising and invoking salutations on the Prophet (s).

Allah said in Surat al-Baqara, 152: “Call Me I will call you.”

And He said in Surat 'Ali Imraan, 191,

“Those who remember Allah while standing , sitting, and lying on their sides…”
And in Surat 'Ali Imraan, 41,
“…and remember your Lord much and glorify Him in the evening and in the early morning.”
And in Surat al-Ahzab, 41,42,

“O you who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance; and glorify Him morning and evening.”
And in al-Ahzab, 35,

“…and men who remember Allah much and women who remember Him…”
Surat al-R’ad, 28,
“Those who believe, and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah! Aye! it is in the remembrance of Allah that hearts can find comfort;”
There are many, many other verses of Qur’an mentioning dhikr, which we need not enumerate here.

Why was Madhanee's post deleted? He is entitled to speak as well.

  1. Reading tafseer only and arguing or as you say "guiding" others will not make an iota of difference in this world. World is already full of two bit idiots mullahs and mullahnees who can only "talk".

  2. Learn and lead by example. Act. Don't just turn into another argumentative idiot mullah. Do good in the world but then again you don't "tafseer" to do that. Have you seen KungFu: The Legend Continues? Walk the earth like Kane does in Kungfu.

Re: Its time i learn islam properly.

Oooooh, zikr.

Arab-wanabees pronounce it dhikr. I thought he was talking about burping. My bad.

Re: Its time i learn islam properly.

Jazakallah khair for all the advice.

Re: Its time i learn islam properly.

Maniac I do not have any audio link to English Tafaaseer but I do have few in urdu but you are not looking for urdu.

Anyhow, may THIS link in english help you .. aameen

Re: Its time i learn islam properly.

its not about being arab wanna be, its just another way of pronouncing it where the zaa in arab language is pronounced as dhaa or zi like dhi…and im a she.
