Murder is forbidden in Islam and defined as the unlawful and intentional killing of another human, unless ordered by Allah or the Prophet. The presentation provides Quranic verses and hadith to support the prohibition of each of these major sins.
Here are the answers to your questions:
- The Prophet Muhammad (S) said: "Righteousness is good character, and sin is that which wavers in your heart and which you do not want people to know about."

The Decisive Word On The Factors Of Victory And Establishment

Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 25 | Size: 1 MB
Indeed the best speech is the speech of Allaah and the best guidance is that of Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wassallam) and the worst of affairs are the newly invented matters in the religion, for every newly invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is misguidance and all misguidance is in the hellfire. The Islamic Ummah has been tested for over half a century with successive defeats and most of the Ummah is heedless as to the reasons for such defeats and afflictions. Allaah says: “Say, “it is from yourselves (i.e. due to your sin).” {Aali-Imraan: 165} – And Allaah says: “And whatever strikes you of disaster – it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.” {ash-Shooraa: 30}. If our Ummah, at an individual level and at a societal level, the rulers and the ruled, reflected on the Book of Allaah and acted by its rulings and divine laws it would have achieved the causes for victory over their enemies. This is so they know that the Sunnah of Allaah in His creation does not change or become substituted by the passing of the times and by the repetition of the times. This an Excellent work on what exactly will bring victory to the Muslim Ummah.

Muhammad founded Islam in the 7th century after receiving revelations from God through the angel Gabriel. He taught the Five Pillars of Islam and his followers spread the religion through conquest and conversion. Over time two main sects developed - Sunnis and Shiites - based on a dispute over succession after Muhammad's death. Islam expanded greatly under early dynasties and empires like the Umayyads and Ottomans and today has over a billion followers worldwide.
Tawheed means the "Oneness of God". The proper word for God is "Allah" in Arabic. Oneness of God "Allah" means that there is no God but Allah, that is he is the only god that derserves to be worshipped.
This is the difference between Muslims and Christians and Jews.
Muslims say Allah is one and not other gods beside him, moses and Jesus are messengers of Allah and not sons.
Allah has not wive or son.
Chrisitans say God, the Son and the holy spirit (meaning 3). This is shirk and Islam and Allah will not accept this belief.
The same applies to the Jews.

Islam uplifted the status of women and granted them rights 1400 years ago, expecting them to maintain their dignity. The hijab prevents objectification and degradation of women by requiring modest dress and lowering the gaze.

Western societies have failed to protect women and promote modesty.

3) Knowing Allah's names allows one to understand His perfect and supreme nature and follow the righteous path to paradise

This document is an introduction to a book about prohibitions in Islam that are often taken too lightly. It discusses how Allah has made certain things halal and others haram based on His wisdom. While Islam has made most things permissible, it has clearly defined specific prohibitions to avoid. The book will discuss 71 prohibitions in detail. The introduction stresses that avoiding what is forbidden is an obligation, and that Allah's rules are just even if some people complain about too many prohibitions. It also notes that Islam has left most things halal by default unless proven haram, showing Allah's mercy.
1) Islam does not prohibit joking and laughter, as the Prophet Muhammad himself joked with his companions on occasions.
2) However, Islam sets criteria for permissible joking, such as only telling the truth, not mocking religious concepts or figures, and not harming or insulting others.
3) Joking about religious topics like the Quran, hadiths, prophets, or rituals is forbidden in Islam and could constitute disbelief. Excessive joking should also be avoided.
[Salafi publications] an explanation of the kalimah of tawheKhalid Abdul Kareem
1) The statement "Laa ilaaha ill Allaah" distinguishes between faith and disbelief. It requires sincere recognition in the heart, not just utterance by the tongue.
2) It contains both a negation of worshipping anything besides God, including prophets, angels, or saints. And an affirmation of worshipping God alone.
3) Merely affirming God's role as Creator and Sustainer is not enough. One must also affirm that God alone deserves to be prayed to, sacrificed to, and sought for help - not intermediaries. Negating intermediaries completes the meaning of the statement.
This document provides a summary of various prohibitions in Islam that are sometimes taken too lightly. It begins with an introduction explaining the importance of avoiding what is forbidden according to Allah and outlines some key prohibitions mentioned in the Quran and hadith. The rest of the document lists over 50 specific acts that are prohibited, ranging from shirk (polytheism) and magic to certain financial dealings, clothing restrictions, and social interactions. It emphasizes that Islam has clearly defined prohibitions and encourages adhering to them, while also permitting many good things.
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 59 | Size: 1 MB
Some Muslims who are either ignorant or of weak faith still commit many acts which Allah never allowed. Ignorance is not an excuse for doing Muharramat, hence is the importance of such books which deal in detail with many Muharramat that should be consciously learnt and consequently never committed.
The author. Sheikh al-Munajjid. has dealt with matters such as calling for help from sheikhs, saints and things other than Allah; worshipping the dead and circumambulating their graves; invoking prophets, using magic and fortune-telling and believing in astrologists and planets, etc.
As such, this book of prohibitions in beliefs and worship acts is a must to almost every Muslim, if he/she is really practicing Islam and wants to be safe and free of great sins.
This document discusses the issue of takfir, or declaring someone a non-believer. It begins by warning Muslims about the dangers of excessive or improper takfir claims. It then provides two hadith that caution against accusing others of kufr. The document goes on to define kufr linguistically as "covering" and discusses the difference between major and minor kufr according to Islamic law. The purpose is to clarify the concept of kufr and prevent Muslims from being unfairly targeted by accusations of apostasy.
Islam provides factual reasons for its validity according to the document. It notes that Islam (1) worships one God alone and focuses on Him, (2) Islamic worship like prayer, zakat, fasting and hajj purify the soul and offer spiritual benefits, and (3) Islam commands all kinds of good and forbids all kinds of evil which serves individuals and society. The document then provides many examples of prohibitions in Islam and explains how they safeguard relationships with God and others.
The document discusses Islamic rulings and guidance related to caring for the deceased from the time of death through burial. It outlines steps like closing the eyes, making dua for forgiveness, covering the entire body, hastening preparation for washing and shrouding, and burying the deceased in the land they died. The document emphasizes following the practices of the Prophet Muhammad and early Muslims to ensure proper treatment of the deceased according to Islamic teachings and avoid innovations.

And due to this fact, we found it beneficial for the many English speaking Muslims to read and perhaps learn and grasp its meanings. We have added several additional footnotes (with Trans. Note) in order to aid the translation, clarify certain points and lastly, to add additional evidences in order to make the issues that are raised, less ambiguous. We have also added an appendix to the text of the book with a short biographical account of the Shaykh and his background, in order to introduce the author to the English reader. We have summarized this from a larger treatise, which will be referenced in that section, In Shā’ Allāh. And we ask Allāh to accept this small effort from us and help it to benefit the young men and women of the Islāmic nation and be a source of inspiration for them upon the truth.
This document discusses the Islamic verdict on interfaith. It begins by defining different religious groups and describing Muslims as the best nation. It views interfaith as a plot against Islam that aims to equate it with other religions and lead Muslims to apostasy. The document analyzes the history of interfaith from the time of Muhammad to today. It argues interfaith has negative effects by distorting Islamic identity and suppressing Islamic movements. The document concludes with verses declaring the Islamic verdict that interfaith is forbidden.
This document discusses democracy as a religion that is not submission to Allah. It begins by quoting a Quranic verse stating that only submission to Allah will be accepted and all else leads to loss. It then provides context and background for a book written by Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi arguing that democracy is a clear form of disbelief and polytheism. The document aims to translate this book into English to warn non-Arabic speakers and distinguish truth from falsehood.
Democracy is a clear form of disbelief and polytheism according to Islam. Worshipping any deity other than Allah, including by following man-made laws and constitutions, is considered shirk or polytheism. Jihad must be waged against democracy and its adherents to damage this man-made system and get people to worship only Allah. Taking Prophet Ibrahim as an example, there must be open enmity and rejection of democracy and those who follow it.
Democracy is a religion that must be rejected and fought against. It is a form of polytheism as it involves obeying man-made laws instead of the law of Allah. The document outlines how democracy places legislators and politicians in the role of deities as they claim the right to make laws. True belief requires rejecting all deities and laws besides Allah. Jihad must be waged against democracy and its supporters to damage the man-made system and return people to worshipping Allah alone.
This document provides a summary of the Islamic concept of "enjoining right and forbidding wrong" in 3 sentences or less:
The document discusses how enjoining right and forbidding wrong is an integral part of Islam that all Muslims are responsible for upholding through gentle encouragement of good deeds and prohibition of sins.

Muslims are described as the best community for implementing this duty through peaceful guidance aimed at bettering society.

2) He secretly converted to Islam by saying the Shahadah to a Pakistani janitor. For 3 years, he concealed his conversion from his family out of worry about their reaction.
3) The man discusses what initially attracted him to Islam and convinced him of its truth based on reading the Quran. He also addresses criticisms of Islam in relation to terrorism and issues faced by new Muslims adapting to the faith in Western societies.

The document discusses Islamic funeral rites and what is recommended for the dying person and those around them. It recommends that those present encourage the dying person to repeat the Shahadah until they pass away. It also encourages Muslims to be present for non-Muslims who are dying to introduce them to Islam, though any acceptance of Islam at that point must be sincere and with certainty before the throes of death begin. The Prophet tried to get his uncle Abu Talib to testify to Allah's oneness on his deathbed, and similarly encouraged his servant, showing the importance of guiding those near death.
The document summarizes the four foundations of shirk according to Shaikhul-Islam Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab. The four foundations are: 1) Seeking intercession from other than Allah, 2) Seeking nearness to Allah through other than Allah, 3) Worshiping other than Allah such as angels, prophets, the righteous, stones, trees, sun and moon, 4) Committing shirk continuously rather than just during times of ease as former generations did. The document provides Quranic evidence to support each of the four foundations.
The document provides details on various aspects of the fiqh (jurisprudence) of Hajj based on ahadith from reliable sources. It discusses the excellence of performing Hajj, entering the state of ihram, actions prohibited during ihram, talbiyah, activities at various pilgrimage sites like Mina and Arafat, and other rituals like tawaf and raml. The rulings are aimed at properly understanding and implementing the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad SAW according to the guidance of reliable scholars like Imam al-Albani to ensure no bid'ah (innovation) creeps into the performance of Hajj.
The document provides an overview of the rules and guidelines around fasting during Ramadan in Islam based on sources from the Quran and hadiths.

It notes fasting became obligatory in the second year after the Prophet Muhammad's hijra. It summarizes a hadith prohibiting fasting one or two days before Ramadan, except for those with a regular fasting habit. The document also discusses scholarly interpretations and debates around certain details related to fasting rules.
Islam is a voluntary relationship between an individual and their creator that emphasizes exclusive worship of God (Allah). It is not a new religion but a continuation of monotheistic faiths of previous prophets. Muslims believe in one God, angels, prophets, the Day of Judgment, and life after death. They believe God revealed information about himself through prophets, with the final revelation through Prophet Muhammad in the Quran. The essenceof Islam is the worship of Allah alone as the creator and sustainer of the universe.

This document discusses the definition and history of fasting in Islam. It defines fasting as the abstention from eating, drinking and sexual acts from dawn to sunset, as prescribed in the Quran and elaborated upon in the Hadith and Islamic jurisprudence.

The document also discusses the different types and requirements of fasting in Islamic law.

The document discusses Islamic perspectives on sexuality, reproduction, and family systems based on a paper presented by Dr. Zeenath Kausar.
Islam views life as an integrated whole and sees sexuality and reproduction as part of the complete Islamic way of life. Islamic texts provide guidance on these matters. The purpose of human creation in Islam is to serve as Allah's vicegerent on Earth. Any human thought or activity, including those related to sexuality and reproduction, should ultimately fulfill this purpose.
In Islam, sexuality is not seen as merely an animalistic function but rather something to be properly guided. Sexual relations are only permitted within marriage, which is regarded as a sign from Allah and the way of the prophe
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. It states that meditation can calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and metabolism.

This document discusses and rebuts common misconceptions about the marriages of the Prophet Muhammad. It notes that he did not diversify his wives until he was over 50 years old, and all except one were widows, not maidens, refuting claims that he married for lust or pleasure.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Punishment In The Grave - Reasons Behind It,
And How To Avoid It
All praise is due to Allaah, Lord of the universe, may He exalt the mention of
Prophet Muhammad who was sent as a mercy for mankind.
Reasons behind the punishment in the grave
Imaam ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him, dedicated a full
chapter in his famous book ‘Ar-Rooh’ (The soul) for this issue, and he began it
by stating: "One might ask: what are the reasons behind some people being
punished in the grave? There are two answers, a detailed one and a summarized
one:
The summarized answer is they get punished because of their ignorance
concerning Allaah, their disobedience to Him and their committing what He
prohibited; Allaah will not punish a soul which knew Him, loved Him, adhered
to what He commanded and refrained from what He prohibited, nor will He
punish the body in which such a soul was. The punishment in the grave and in
the Hereafter is an indication of the wrath of Allaah upon His slave; The one
who makes Allaah angry in this life and did not repent, and dies while in that
state will be punished in the grave according to the extent he angered Allaah;
some will be punished for a short while, and others for a long time.
The detailed answer is what the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam
informed us about, when he spoke of the two men whom he saw being punished
while in their graves; because one of them went around tale-bearing to cause
disputes between people, and the other one was not cleaning nor purifying
himself after urinating; the second one abandoned the obligatory purification,
and the first one committed what causes enmity between people by the evil use of
his tongue, even if what he was saying was true. In this there is an indication
3. that the one who causes enmity between people by lying and spreading false
statements will receive a harsh punishment, and likewise, there is an indication
that the one who abandons prayer will receive a harsher punishment than the
one who does not purify himself after urinating, because this purification is only
a precondition for praying. In another narration, he sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam informed us that one of the two who were being punished, was a person
who used to backbite others."
In one of the Ahaadeeth, the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam informed
us about a man in his grave who was lashed once with a whip, causing his grave
to become full of fire. This was because he prayed a prayer once without being
in the state of ablution, and he also once passed by an oppressed person and did
not help him, although he could have done so. (At-Tahaawi).
Imaam Bukhaari, may Allaah have mercy upon him, mentioned in his book a
narration by Samurah ibn Jundub, may Allaah be pleased with him, that the
Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam informed about the punishment of some
people, like one who was punished because he used to lie and his lies became
widespread among people; another used to memorize the Quran yet would sleep
all night without praying, and would not apply its teachings during the day; a
third group of people were those who committed adultery and fornication;
another ate up the money earned from Riba (usury and interest). The Prophet
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam informed about all these types of people as he was
made able to see them being punished in their graves.
In another Hadeeth, the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam told us about
some people whose heads are smashed with a rock in their graves because they
slept through prayers and never performed them. He sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam also told us about those who are forced to eat Zaqqoom (a plant in Hell)
because they did not pay their Zakaah (obligatory charity); others have to eat
foul rotten meat because they used to commit adultery and fornication; others'
lips are clipped because they used to cause dispute between people during times
of trials.
4. www.islamweb.net
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam also told us about a man who
took a garment from the war booties without informing the Prophet sallallaahu
‘alayhi wa sallam of this, and how that resulted in the garment becoming fire
which burnt him while he was in his grave.
The punishment in the grave is the result of the sins committed by the heart,
the eyes, the ears, the mouth, the tongue, the stomach, the private parts, the
hands, the feet, and the body as a whole. The following are some sins which
bring about punishment in the grave:
xTale-bearing, backbiting, and slandering.
xGiving false testimony.
xCausing disputes between people.
xInnovating in matters of religion.
xTalking on behalf of Allaah and His Messenger without knowledge.
xConsuming Riba (interest and usury).
xDevouring the wealth of orphans without due right.
xDealing with bribery.
xConsuming the money of fellow Muslims, or one with whom a person has
an agreement, without due right.
xConsuming intoxicants.
xFornication, adultery, and homosexuality.
xTheft and murder.
xDeception, betrayal, and fraud.
xUsage of deception to change what is Islamically unlawful to lawful, or to
prevent the performance of Islamic obligations and encourage committing
of prohibitions.
xHarming Muslims and hunting for their mistakes.
xRuling with other than what Allaah legislated, or passing Islamic rulings
which differ from what Allaah prescribed and legislated.
xAssisting oppressors and evil doers.
5. xIncapacitating the meaning of the Names and Attributes of Allaah or
disbelieving in them.
xGiving precedence to one's own opinions, tastes or politics over the
Sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, or slandering our
Salaf (pious predecessors).
xBeing a woman who is hired by the family of a deceased person to cry
loudly upon his death, or being one of those who listen to her.
xSinging, being a musician, or being one who listens to them.
xBuilding mosques over graves.
xGiving less in measure to others when one is weighing, but taking more
for oneself when being weighed for.
xTyranny, arrogance, boasting, and aiding those who have such
characteristics in these qualities.
xIndifference to being reminded of Allaah, but refraining from what one is
doing when threatened by mere humans.
xGoing to fortunetellers and magicians, and believing them.
xNot paying attention or giving importance to the words of the Prophet
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, but listening and adhering to admonition
from a regular human being,
xReciting the Quran, but not being affected by it, and even becoming
preoccupied by something else during it; but when listening to music,
which is an introduction to adultery and the substance for hypocrisy,
rejoicing and becoming excited, and even wishing that the music would
never stop.
xGiving false oaths when swearing by Allaah, but being truthful when
swearing by the name of one's Shaykh, father, leader or anyone else whom
one loves dearly.
xOpenly bragging about one's sins.
xBeing untrustworthy with regards to people's wealth or honor.
xHaving a licentious tongue, which causes others to avoid one for fear of
his evil.
xDelaying prayer to the end of its prescribed time, then praying it
hurriedly.
6. www.islamweb.net
xPaying Zakaah resentfully and only due to coercion.
xNot performing Hajj despite being physically and financially capable.
xNot fulfilling people’s due rights despite being capable of doing so.
xNot fearing Allaah in one's means of earning provisions.
xSevering ties of kinship.
xShowing no mercy to the needy, widows and orphans.
xShowing no mercy to animals.
All of the above mentioned categories of people, and others like them, will
be punished in their graves on account of their crimes, each according to
how much he committed. He will be punished accordingly unless he repents
to Allaah and Allaah forgives him due to his repentance, or due to His
general mercy upon the Muslims.
How to avoid it
Imaam ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said: In general,
refraining from what causes punishment in the grave is the best way to avoid
being punished. One needs to sit for a while before he goes to bed and hold
himself accountable for what he gained during that day and what he lost, then
renew his sincere repentance to Allaah and sleep after having repented, and
when he wakes up, be determined not to commit the same sins again. He should
do this every night; if he dies that night he would die after having repented, and
if he would wake up, he would wake up happy because he was delayed and given
a chance to strive hard in good deeds to make up for what he missed out on.
There is nothing better or more beneficial than such a way of going to sleep,
especially if he follows this accountability with mentioning Allaah and follows
the recommendations of Sunnah in how to go to sleep and supplicate until he
falls asleep. The one whom Allaah wills good for, He will guide him to doing
so.
In detail, we remind people with the Ahaadeeth of the Prophet sallallaahu
‘alayhi wa sallam which inform us about some ways which will rescue us from
punishment in the grave:
7. xSalmaan Al-Faarisi, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the
Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Ribaat (guarding the front
lines of the Muslim army) for one day is better (in reward) than fasting
for a full month and praying during its nights; and the one who dies
while in that position will have the reward of the deeds he was doing to
continue (until The Day of Resurrection) and he will be saved from the
punishment of the grave. (Muslim).
xOne of the companions of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, may
Allaah be pleased with him, asked the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam: How come all people are tried in their graves except for the
martyrs? He sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam replied: “The flashing of the
swords over their heads is enough of a trial” (An-Nasaa’i).
xAl-Miqdaad ibn Ma'd Yakrib, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated
that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: “The martyr has
seven qualities which Allaah grants him: he will be forgiven with the
first drop of his blood, he will see his seat in Paradise, he will be rescued
from the punishment of the grave, he will be rescued from the Great
Horror (on the Day of Resurrection), he will wear a (special) garment of
faith, he will marry seventy two women of Paradise, and he will be
allowed to intercede for seventy of his family.” (Ibn Maajah). In another
narration he sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: “The crown of dignity
will be placed on his (i.e., the martyr's) head, each corundum (of which)
is better than this world and all what it contains; he will have seventy
two wives from the ladies of Paradise, and he will be allowed to
intercede for seventy of his family.” (At-Tirmithi).
xAbu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: “There is a chapter in the Quran (Al-
Mulk) that has thirty verses; it will intercede for the one who
continuously recites it, until he is forgiven.” (An-Nasaa’i Ibn
Maajah). This Hadeeth, and others which carry the same meaning, prove
8. www.islamweb.net
that those who regularly recite chapter Al-Mulk and apply what is in it,
will be rescued from the punishment in the grave.
xThe Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: “The one who dies as a
result of a stomach sickness will not be punished in his grave.” (At-
Tirmithi). This reward will be for those who do not despair upon their
sickness, but rather persevere through it and hope for the reward from
Allaah.
xThe Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: “Allaah will protect
from the trials in the grave, any Muslim who dies on a Friday - day or
night.” (Ahmad).
xFulfilling piety, Allaah says what means: “Verily, those who say: Our
Lord is (only) Allaah, and thereafter stand firm (on the Islamic Faith of
Monotheism), on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” (Al-
Ahqaaf: 13).
