  • Why Prophet Muhammad Images Prohibited By Whom

    There have been quite a few murderous attacks on People and magazines that publish the image/cartoon of Prophet Muhammad of Islam.

    Is thee any injunction in Islam to this effect?

    There seems tobe no mention of this subject in the Koran.

    It seems that the Sunnis are responsible for this.

    *Corrections welcome.

    “Most Sunni Muslims believe that visual depictions of all the prophets of Islam should be prohibited[3] and are particularly averse to visual representations of Muhammad.[4] The key concern is that the use of images can encourage idolatry.[5] In Shia Islam, however, images of Muhammad are quite common nowadays, even though Shia scholars historically were against such depictions.[4][6] Still, many Muslims who take a stricter view of the supplemental traditions will sometimes challenge any depiction of Muhammad, including those created and published by non-Muslims

    Thre are some Hadiths to this effect.

    ”

    Narrated ‘Aisha (the wife of the Prophet): Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned about a church they had seen in Ethiopia in which there were pictures. They told the Prophet about it, on which he said, “If any religious man dies amongst those people they would build a place of worship at his grave and make these pictures in it. They will be the worst creature in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection.”

    Sahih Bukhari 1:8:419
    Narrated ‘Aisha: When the Prophet became ill, some of his wives talked about a church which they had seen in Ethiopia and it was called Mariya. Um Salma and Um Habiba had been to Ethiopia, and both of them narrated its (the Church’s) beauty and the pictures it contained. The Prophet raised his head and said, “Those are the people who, whenever a pious man dies amongst them, make a place of worship at his grave and then they make those pictures in it. Those are the worst creatures in the Sight of Allah.”

    Sahih Bukhari 2:23:425
    Narrated ‘Aun bin Abu Juhaifa: My father bought a slave who practiced the profession of cupping. (My father broke the slave’s instruments of cupping). I asked my father why he had done so. He replied, “The Prophet forbade the acceptance of the price of a dog or blood, and also forbade the profession of tattooing, getting tattooed and receiving or giving Riba, (usury), and cursed the picture-makers.”

    Sahih Bukhari 3:34:299
    Narrated Aisha: (mother of the faithful believers) I bought a cushion with pictures on it. When Allah’s Apostle saw it, he kept standing at the door and did not enter the house. I noticed the sign of disgust on his face, so I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I repent to Allah and H is Apostle . (Please let me know) what sin I have done.” Allah’s Apostle said, “What about this cushion?” I replied, “I bought it for you to sit and recline on.” Allah’s Apostle said, “The painters (i.e. owners) of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said to them, ‘Put life in what you have created (i.e. painted).’ ” The Prophet added, “The angels do not enter a house where there are pictures.”

    Sahih Bukhari 3:34:318
    Narrated Said bin Abu Al-Hasan: While I was with Ibn ‘Abbas a man came and said, “O father of ‘Abbas! My sustenance is from my manual profession and I make these pictures.” Ibn ‘Abbas said, “I will tell you only what I heard from Allah’s Apostle . I heard him saying, ‘ Whoever makes a picture will be punished by Allah till he puts life in it, and he will never be able to put life in it.’ ” Hearing this, that man heaved a sigh and his face turned pale. Ibn ‘Abbas said to him, “What a pity! If you insist on making pictures I advise you to make pictures of trees and any other unanimated objects.”

    Sahih Bukhari 3:34:428
    Narrated Al-Qasim: Aisha said that she hung a curtain decorated with pictures (of animates) on a cupboard. The Prophet tore that curtain and she turned it into two cushions which remained in the house for the Prophet to sit on.

    Sahih Bukhari 3:43:659
    Narrated Aun bin Abu Juhaifa: I saw my father buying a slave whose profession was cupping, and ordered that his instruments (of cupping) be broken. I asked him the reason for doing so. He replied, “Allah’s Apostle prohibited taking money for blood, the price of a dog, and the earnings of a slave-girl by prostitution; he cursed her who tattoos and her who gets tattooed, the eater of Riba (usury), and the maker of pictures.”

    Sahih Bukhari 3:34:440
    Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet entered the Ka’ba and found in it the pictures of (Prophet) Abraham and Mary. On that he said’ “What is the matter with them ( i.e. Quraish)? They have already heard that angels do not enter a house in which there are pictures; yet this is the picture of Abraham. And why is he depicted as practicing divination by arrows?”

    Sahih Bukhari 4:55:570
    Narrated Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet saw pictures in the Ka’ba, he did not enter it till he ordered them to be erased. When he saw (the pictures of Abraham and Ishmael carrying the arrows of divination, he said, “May Allah curse them (i.e. the Quraish)! By Allah, neither Abraham nor Ishmael practiced divination by arrows.”

    Sahih Bukhari 4:55:571
    Narrated ‘Aisha: Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned a church they had seen in Ethiopia and in the church there were pictures. When they told the Prophet of this, he said, “Those people are such that if a pious man amongst them died, they build a place of worship over his grave and paint these pictures in it. Those people will be Allah’s worst creatures on the Day of Resurrection . ”

    Sahih Bukhari 5:58:213
    Narrated Ibn Abbas: Abu Talha, a companion of Allah’s Apostle and one of those who fought at Badr together with Allah’s Apostle told me that Allah’s Apostle said. “Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture” He meant the images of creatures that have souls.

    Sahih Bukhari 5:59:338
    Narrated Abu Juhaifa: The Prophet cursed the lady who practices tattooing and the one who gets herself tattooed, and one who eats (takes) Riba’ (usury) and the one who gives it. And he prohibited taking the price of a dog, and the money earned by prostitution, and cursed the makers of pictures.

    Sahih Bukhari 7:63:259
    The Prophet said, “Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or there are pictures.”

    Sahih Bukhari 7:72:833
    Narrated ‘Aisha: I never used to leave in the Prophet house anything carrying images or crosses but he obliterated it.

    Sahih Bukhari 7:72:836
    We were with Masruq at the house of Yasar bin Numair. Masruq saw pictures on his terrace and said, “I heard ‘Abdullah saying that he heard the Prophet saying, “‘The people who will receive the severest punishment from Allah will be the picture makers.”

    British Royalty is known for licentiousness; it seems that neither are Commoners .

    Come to think of it, if we check our ancestry we might land up in even funny and bizarre family Tree!

    There one finds, along all Britain’s kings, the sovereigns of Greece, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Austria, Spain and a good number of German sovereigns. The British family was called Saxe-Coburg-Gotha until 1917, date on which, mired in a war with Germany, it opted for the name Windsor. On the side of the mother-to-be Kate Middleton, on the other hand, there is a majority of commoners. The late “Queen Mum”, the mother of Queen Elizabeth II, and Princess Diana, William’s mother, were not born princesses.

  • The Prophet And His Wife,Nine Year Old

    For information of this sensitivity there are  ‘No Comments’

    Child Marriage.
    Child Marriage.

     

    “According to traditional sources, Aisha was six or seven years old when she was betrothed to Muhammad and nine when the marriage was consummated.[13][13][15][16][17][18][19] However, al-Tabari records that she was ten.[15] The sources do not offer much more information about Aisha’s childhood years.[20][21]

    The issue of Aisha’s age at the time she was married to Muhammad has been of interest since the earliest days of Islam, and references to her age by early historians are frequent. American historian Denise Spellberg states that “these specific references to the bride’s age reinforce Aisha’s pre-menarcheal status and, implicitly, her virginity.”[15] Early Muslims regarded Aisha’s youth as demonstrating her virginity and therefore her suitability as a bride of Muhammad. This issue of her virginity was of great importance to those who supported Aisha’s position in the debate of the succession to Muhammad. These supporters considered that as Muhammad’s only virgin wife, Aisha was divinely intended for him, and therefore the most credible regarding the debate.[22]

    ..

    In many Muslim traditions, Aisha is described as Muhammad’s most beloved or favored wife after his first wife, Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, who died before the migration to Madinah took place.[5][23][23][24][25] There are several hadith, or stories or sayings of Muhammad, that support this belief. One relates that when a companion asked Muhammad, “who is the person you love most in the world?” he responded, “Aisha.”[26] Others relate that Muhammad built Aisha’s apartment so that her door opened directly into the mosque,[26][27] and that she was the only woman with whom Muhammad received revelations.[23][27]They bathed in the same water and he prayed while she lay stretched out in front of him.[28]

    There are also various traditions that reveal the mutual affection between Muhammad and Aisha. He would often just sit and watch her and her friends play with dolls, and on occasion he would even join them.[27][29][30] Additionally, they were close enough that each was able to discern the mood of the other, as many stories relate.[27][29] It is also important to note that there exists evidence that Muhammad did not view himself as entirely superior to Aisha, at least not enough to prevent Aisha from speaking her mind, even at the risk of angering Muhammad. On one such instance, Muhammad’s “announcement of a revelation permitting him to enter into marriages disallowed other men drew from her [Aisha] the retort, ‘It seems to me your Lord hastens to satisfy your desire!’”[5] Furthermore, Muhammad and Aisha had a strong intellectual relationship.[26] Muhammad valued her keen memory and intelligence and so instructed his companions to draw some of their religious practices from her.[26]

    Accusation of adultery

    The story of accusation of adultery levied against Aisha can be traced to chapter 24 in the book al-Nur in the Quran. As the story goes, Aisha was left behind by mistake at a caravan stop while searching for a missing necklace. Aisha left her howdah in order to search for the missing necklace and her slaves mounted the howdah and prepared it for travel without noticing any difference in weight without Aisha’s presence.[31] Aisha remained at the camp until the next morning when Safwan bin al-Muattal, a nomad and member of Muhammad’s army, found her and brought her back to Muhammad in Medina. The accusations of adultery came from Zainab, who levied the charges against Aisha and Safwan while at the same time Abdullah bin Ubai and Hamna bint Jahsh (Zainab’s sister) spread the rumors started about the infidelity.[31] Usama bin Zayd, son of Zayd ibn Harithah, defended Aisha’s reputation and Muhammad came to speak directly with Aisha about the rumors. Shortly after this, Muhammad announced that he had received a revelation from God confirming Aisha’s innocence. Known as the Surah an-Nur, God had revealed to Muhammad the laws and punishment regarding adultery. Aisha’s accusers faced punishments of up to 80 lashes. Though Aisha’s innocence was confirmed in the eyes of God, the way in which the revelations were told to Muhammad are most important to Quranic commentaries on the book.[31]

  • Islam On National Anthems

    ‘What is the ruling on standing when the national anthem is played, or when the flag is saluted?.

    Praise be to Allaah.Firstly:Playing or listening to national anthems is haraam. This has been discussed in the answer to question no. 5000 and 20406. It makes no difference whether what is played is songs or the national anthem or anything else.Secondly:

    Standing by way of humility and veneration is not befitting unless it is done  for Allaah.

    Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

    “And stand before Allaah with obedience”

    [al-Baqarah 2:238].

    Allaah has said that because of His greatness and majesty, the greatest of creation (the angels) will stand for Him on the Day of Resurrection and no one will speak until after Allaah has given him permission. He says (interpretation of the meaning):

    “The Day that Ar‑Rooh [Jibreel (Gabriel) or another angel] and the angels will stand forth in rows, they will not speak except him whom the Most Gracious (Allaah) allows, and he will speak what is right”

    [al-Naba’ 78:38].

    The one who claims that there is any created being for whom one should stand out of respect have given that created being one of the rights of Allaah.

    Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever likes men to stand up for him, let him take his place in Hell.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (2755); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi. That is because this is part of the might and pride that belongs only to Allaah.

    See: Tafseer al-Tahreer wa’l-Tanweer by al-Taahir ibn ‘Ashoor (15/51).

    The caliph al-Mahdi entered the Mosque of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the people all stood up for him except Imam Ibn Abi Dhi’b. It was said to him: Stand up; this is the Ameer al-Mu’mineen. He said: The people should only stand up for the Lord of the Worlds.

    Al-Mahdi said: Let him be, for all the hairs of my head have stood on end.

    Siyar A’laam al-Nubala’ (7/144).

    The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked: Is it permissible to stand to show respect to any national anthem or flag?

    They replied:

    It is not permissible for the Muslim to stand out of respect for any national anthem or flag, rather this is a reprehensible innovation which was not known at the time of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or at the time of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs (may Allaah be pleased with them), and it is contrary to perfect Tawheed and sincere veneration of Allaah alone. It is also a means that leads to shirk and is an imitation of the kuffaar in their reprehensible customs, and following them in their exaggeration about their presidents and in their ceremonies. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade imitating them.

    And Allaah is the Source of strength; may Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.

    Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (1/235).

    And Allaah knows best.
