Download or read book Caesarean Moon Births Calculations Moon Sighting and the Prophetic Way written by Hamza Yusuf and published by eBooks2go, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to the advent of electricity, every night held the possibility of a celestial light show. People in even the most urban environments were exposed to the awe and majesty of the heavens, which clearly "proclaim the glory of God." The contemplation of the celestial orbs and their movements provided early man with the most direct connection to his Lord. In the Qur'anic story of Abraham, it is his observance of heavenly phenomena that leads him to his certainty of God's unity and transcendence. Since the time of the Seljuq Turks, the crescent moon has been a sign of Islam.For Muslims in North America, there has been much confusion regarding when Ramadan begins, when to fast, and when to break the fast. Hamza Yusuf provides clarity through this detailed and scholarly work that decisively makes the case for sighting the crescent moon with the naked eye, as has been the Islamic tradition for 1400 years. This is essential reading for anyone seeking guidance on this important and sacred matter.

Download or read book The Astronomical Calculations and Ramadan written by Zulfiqar Ali Shah and published by IIIT. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shatters the myth that naked-eye sighting of the new moon and completing thirty days in the case of weather-related or other obscurities are the only two valid methods of determining the month of Ramadan. The author explains that certainty, not actual sighting, is the real objective of the Shariah and that the Qur'an does not mandate physical sighting. A careful analysis shows that those hadiths that seemingly require sighting actually require certainty. The assertion that all Muslim scholars prohibit the use of astronomical calculations, both in affirming or negating the month of Ramadan, is not correct. As calculation is now more accurate than naked-eye sighting, due to certain astronomical and scientific advancements, the use of calculation is the closest to the real objective of the Shari'ah and to the spirit of the hadiths.

Download or read book The Road To Mecca written by Muhammad Asad and published by The Book Foundation. This book was released on 1954 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part travelogue, part autobiography, "The Road to Mecca" is the compelling story of a Western journalist and adventurer who converted to Islam in the early twentieth century. A spiritual and literary counterpart of Wilfred Thesiger and a contemporary of T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), Muhammad Asad journeyed around the Middle East, Afghanistan and India. This is an account of Asad's adventures in Arabia, his inner awakening, and his relationships with nomads and royalty alike, set in the wake of the First World War. It can be read on many levels: as a eulogy to a lost world, and as the poignant account of a man's search for meaning. It is also a love story, defying convention and steeped in loss. With its evocative descriptions and profound insights on the Islamic world, "The Road to Mecca" is a work of immense value today.

Download or read book The Interpretation of The Meaning of The Holy Quran Volume 4 Surah Al Baqarah verse 171 to 201 written by Nasoha Bin Saabin and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have written many books and articles on various topics but since 2013, I have devoted myself fully in writing the interpretation of the Holy Quran in English and with the grace of Allah, I have completed the whole Quran on 29th October 2020 with 84 books. I believe there is a great need in the whole world for the correct interpretation of the Holy Quran to be written in English. Currently, there is a great misunderstanding about Islam among Muslims and non-Muslims globally. The misunderstanding of the meaning of the Holy Quran among Muslims will lead to the wrong practice of Islam which leads to the wrong actions of Muslims. The wrong actions of Muslims will lead to misunderstandings about Islam among Muslims and non-Muslims. The wrong actions of the Muslims have led to many miseries and wars among Muslims. The wrong actions of Muslims have also led to many wars and clashes between Muslims and non-Muslims. In order to avoid miseries, wars and clashes from taking place between the whole mankind in the whole world, the whole mankind in the whole world need to understand the true teaching of Islam. There is no other way for the whole mankind to understand the true teaching of Islam unless the whole mankind is able to read and understand the correct interpretation of the Holy Quran. The whole mankind is only able to read and understand the correct interpretation of the Holy Quran when it is written in the universal language of the world (English). For this very reason I have written the interpretation of the Holy Quran in English. Prof. Nasoha Bin Saabin
Download or read book Astrological Calculations Explain the Obscurity of the Crescent written by Allama Dr. Sāni Ṣāliḥ Muṣṯapha and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muslims should humble themselves and ask Allah for His Pardon Forgiveness so that He opens their hearts to understand the Sunnah practice and propagate it. The Promise of Allah that the Muslim Umma will never unite under falsehood is only possible through learning the Sunnah. Therefore the Promise is not without a stake tag and price. Allah Pardons (Tāba) Forgives (gafara hides and buries) all the wrong perpetrated before one dies except innovation. This is by turning to the wrong doer (‘Taba’), cleansing him of all dirt. Innovation or conformity is observing the Sunnah/acts of worship not according to the manner and way practiced by the Holy Apostle.. After one is buried the door for repentance forgiveness is closed. Allah warns in the Holy Qur’ān 35:37, “Did We not give you lives long enough, so that whoever would receive admonition could receive it? And the warner came to you. So taste you.” This book is an invitation to the seekers of Allah’s Pardon Forgiveness through learning the Sunnah and putting that in practice.
