The Posi­tion of Jerusalem and Haram As-Sha­reef in Islam

Dur­ing the Mi’raj, the Prophet(P) is report­ed to have received from God the com­mand of five dai­ly prayers (salah) that all Mus­lims must per­form. Upon his return to Mec­ca, the Prophet insti­tut­ed these prayers. It is sig­nif­i­cant to note that he made Jerusalem the direc­tion (al-Qiblah) which Mus­lims must face while doing their prayers (nar­rat­ed by al-Bukhari, 41 and by Mus­lim, 525). Jerusalem is thus called Ula al-Qiblatain (the first qiblah). The Prophet (P) and the ear­ly com­mu­ni­ty of Islam wor­shipped towards the direc­tion of Jerusalem dur­ing their stay in Mec­ca. After the Hijra’ (migra­tion), Mus­lims in Med­i­na also con­tin­ued to pray fac­ing Jerusalem for almost sev­en­teen months until God com­mand­ed the Mus­lims to change their direc­tion of prayer from Jerusalem to Mec­ca (Qur’an 2:142 – 150). These estab­lished facts clear­ly sig­ni­fies the impor­tance of Jerusalem in Islam.

Mis­sion­ary VS Ter­ror­ist : An Exam­i­na­tion of a Mis­sion­ary’s Men­tal Imbal­ance and Behav­iour­ial Problem

The recent bar­rage of mis­sion­ary demen­tia gives us a mar­velous oppor­tu­ni­ty to expose the char­ac­ter of the mis­sion­ary Sam Shamoun, his men­tal dis­or­der and the extremes he is will­ing to under­take in order to unleash his abus­es and prej­u­dice towards Mus­lims. Indeed, he con­vinc­ing­ly demon­strates that he is a con­firmed Islam­o­phobe. The dis­cus­sion is con­cern­ing the use of the term ​“mis­sion­ary”. The mis­sion­ary claims that we should not refer to him as a mis­sion­ary because even though he is a mis­sion­ary, many Mus­lims nev­er­the­less have alleged ​“neg­a­tive” views con­cern­ing the title ​“mis­sion­ary” accord­ing to his opin­ion. Hence he argues that we are mak­ing an ad hominem attack against him every time we right­ful­ly call him a mis­sion­ary. He claims that his argu­ments will be alleged­ly dis­missed before­hand by Mus­lims when they find out that he is a missionary.

Why Was the Prophet Polygamous ?

Some crit­ics of Islam have reviled the Prophet(P) as a self-indul­gent lib­er­tine. They have accused him of char­ac­ter fail­ings that are hard­ly com­pat­i­ble with…

Did al-Zuṭṭ Ride Muham­mad ? A Crit­i­cal Philo­log­i­cal Reassess­ment of a Mod­ern Anti-Islam Polemic

Polem­i­cal Rebuttals Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi -
This study dis­man­tles the al-zuṭṭ hadith polemic through close read­ing, lex­i­cog­ra­phy, and nar­ra­tive con­trol. By restor­ing con­text to yark­abūn, exam­in­ing trans­mis­sion vari­ants, and com­par­ing Semit­ic par­al­lels, it shows how innu­en­do trans­la­tion exploits pol­y­se­my, sup­press­es clo­sure, and man­u­fac­tures scan­dal with­out his­tor­i­cal war­rant with­in dis­ci­plined philol­o­gy and sober method­olog­i­cal lim­its alone here
