if ppl follow everything in whichever religion they in then ppl will not interact with each other & live in peace, everybody will be hyper & discriminating about everything, would u only do business\patronize\interact or be friends with ppl who has same beliefs as u ... imho thats a very sad unfulfilling way to coexist with other humans

Worshipping anything other than Allah is called 'shirk (actually major shirk, which includes going to see the jinn-man, playing songs for protection, or using artefacts, pictures, talismans, pin-ons, things hanging in your car etc for "protection"); This is a fundamental principle, which, if you knowingly do (ie, you really believe there's some power in these things to protect you), you take yourself out of Islam, ie, you're no longer a Muslim, no matter how much Muslim clothes you wear. If this is a true story, someone should gently let her know the haram-ness of it. She probably doesn't know.

It really have jinn men out there? I always thought that was an urban legend while I was in asja.
Dem fellas hadda be real undercover.
Also Frank, I not trying to be chuppid eh, I just asking.What if the reason the guy playing Hanuman Chalisa is just to be neighbourly,not that he actually believes in it.Or for the comfort of his customers like the whole fiasco with Price Club selling puja items?
Is it still a sin if he doesn't believe in it?

Very interesting perspectives. Do jinns affect people? Is there a Muslim "obeahman or woman" (not meant in a bad way, eh) (imam / maulana etc) who can "help" if someone is affected by a jinn?

basically it says that islam is like different rungs on a ladder
the lowest rungs are the muslims who go about their daily lives, going to mosque, not eating pork, living by basic islamic teachings
the higher you go is where the imams come in where they try to teach islam and convert others etc
the highest rungs are where you are willing to kill infidels (non muslims)

You can seek your own protection or cure (Ruqyah, ie, healing) from God DIRECTLY, without needing any intermediary person or thing. Reciting the Quran is a cure, especially Surah al Faatihaah (Chapter 1) https://quran.com/1/, the Ayutulul Kursi https://quran.com/2/255, and the last two short chapters Surahs Falaq and Naas https://quran.com/113 and https://quran.com/114. And reciting Surah Baqarah (https://quran.com/2) in the homes, etc wards off the evil jinns.
Only if the person is unable to pray to God for themselves, like small children, or the elderly, and then we pray for their protection or healing or guidance for them, but generally a person should ask this of God himself, and not think he needs someone else because "he's not pious enough" or nonsense like that.

Those verses are akin to the Psalms that Christians use for similar events.
Interesting to see in the Surah al Faatihaah (Chapter 1) the 2 interpretations. One seems to be updated because I was taught that the Holy Qu'ran has no variation whatsoever.

Religious songs, artefacts, a person's speech and actions in general, belief in the heart... are all aspects of worship. Worship is praise (hamd) and prayer and supplication (salaah, ibaadah and dua), seeking help, protection, etc. performed by the person. And so there is nothing truly deserving of directing that worship towards... except God, alone**. I mean, everytime we perform salaat we say chap1 of the Quran, which includes "You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything)." https://quran.com/1/5
If your actions are worship, i.e. you intend by those actions help, protection, sustenance, praise, etc.. and you direct those actions at anything other than God, then this is "shirk" (see post above; roughly translated to blasphemy, but it's more than that). So for a Muslim, believing that playing a song will protect you, or hanging something in your car will protect you, that is shirk, and nullifies you as a Muslim if you do it knowingly (ie, you're not a Muslim anymore, until you say your shahadah again), even if it 'works' and it runs the jinns from your home (these are tricks of the Shaytaan, which is a whole other matter). {{Nb, this only applies if you know and understand the seriousness of the matter; a lot of Muslims, unfortunately, do not know that these things amount to shirk, like perhaps the store-owner above. But then again, you're on the brink, because these are things, as a Muslim, you should not be ignorant of.}}
Also, the acts of worship in Islaam, must have some basis in the Quran and the Sunnah, in terms of the time, place and frequency they are performed, or else it is rejected (Like you can't perform Hajj anytime you want, only in the Islamic month of Dhul-hijj). All other actions (which is the majority of everything else you do in your life), are judged by halaal or haram. So daily activities that are not strictly speaking part of worship (driving for example), do not land you up in the category of shirk (like songs on the radio). Singing songs however is haram, but it isn't shirk (blasphemy), unless the song itself is blasphemous.
**This btw is part a) of the 'shahadah' people say to become a Muslim: "La illlaha illAllah": there is no (lillah) God (deserving of worship in truth) except Allaah (alone). The part (b) is "Muhammadur rasulullah" and Muhammad salallahu alayhi was sallam is the (Rasul) Messenger of Allah.
Evidences from the Quran for the above
- "And I (Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)." https://quran.com/51/56
- "Worship Allâh and join none with Him (in worship)" https://quran.com/4/36
- "All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)." https://quran.com/1/2
- "And the mosques are for Allâh (Alone): so invoke not anyone along with Allâh." https://quran.com/72/18
- "And whoever invokes (or worships), besides Allâh, any other ilâh (god), of whom he has no proof; then his reckoning is only with his Lord. Surely! Al-Kâfirûn (the disbelievers in Allâh and in the Oneness of Allâh, polytheists, pagans, idolaters) will not be successful." https://quran.com/23/117
- "And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islâmic Monotheism) and ask Me for anything] I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islâmic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!" https://quran.com/40/60
- "Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "I am only a man like you. It has been revealed to me that your Ilâh (God) is One Ilâh (God - i.e. Allâh). So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord." https://quran.com/18/110
- "Say: "I seek refuge with (Allâh), the Lord of the daybreak," https://quran.com/113/1
- "Say: "I seek refuge with (Allâh) the Lord of mankind," https://quran.com/114/1
- "Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Verily, my Salât (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allâh, the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)." https://quran.com/6/162
tl;dr:
-Don't commit shirk: direct all your worship towards Allaah alone
-Don't commit sins, stay away from haram (forbidden) actions: i.e., for everything else other than worship, keep it halaal.

Only Judeaic religions have that belief.alfa wrote:All religions have a similar belief. How many times we've heard Christians say if you don't accept Jesus you're damned? What's important is to live with each other in the present and don't worry too much where the other guy going in the afterlife when you don't know where you yourself is going. I like listening to lil Xmas songs and thing even some old time Indian songs, not sure which are bhajans and which are film songs cuz all sound like rum tunes anyway but won't play any loudly in public due to the same reason frank Chag listed. I personally don't believe 4 or 5 billion people are going to hell simply because they are not Muslim or Christian or whatever but I try to stick to my religious beliefs

Reminds of a Muslim funeral I attended. The Imam was saying that upon dying, everyone's soul would have to cross a bridge to which lies a fiery depth below. No scene in that as most religions, if not all, has some type judgement day. He goes on to say that only believers would be able to pass (though not all will easy) and all non-believers (shirks) would perish below. He then basically shifted the entire proceeding to knock the "shirks" present in the funeral. Many of us were surprise at how frank he was and you could tell that the deceased family were embarrassed for their non-muslim relatives and friends present.death365 wrote:Thank God that I am smart enough to understand that all religions and faiths pray to God.

Retirement pension
The first question of Fatwa no. 7121.
Q 1: I was enrolled in the Egyptian Armed Forces as a volunteer from September 1967 A.D. Till January of 1981 A.D., and served in the Army for approximately thirteen years. They used to deduct part of my monthly salary to cover insurance and pensions. This was obligatory. After Allah guided me to understand Islam, I resigned, and thanks to Allah, my resignation was accepted. However, they started paying me 56.54 pounds as a monthly pension. A brother told me that the money of this pension is Riba (usury) and that I must refuse it. Is this correct? What is the correct ruling concerning this pension?
A: If the reality is as you mentioned, it is permissible for you to take the retirement pension as it is a reward for the period you served in the government.

Make sense of this for me please.
What kind of songs? Songs to Allah? Pop songs? Non-religious islamic songs?
What about playing of certain musical instruments?
Is playing the steelpan haram?
Are there some drums you cannot play because of the material used?
There is a good book on this: https://darussalamstore.com/en/singing-and-music-eng
Basically, as far as I know, singing, instruments, etc. are all generally impermissible, except for the duff in weddings.

Both Jesus (Eesa) and Moses (Musa) (upon them both be peace), lived in the desert.
