Erection of Walls and Building Around Graves I have mentioned above the prohibitions given by Rasulullah salalahu alayhi wa salam regarding the erection of walls etc. around the graves. Our Ulama i.e, the Ulama of the Ahlus sunnah have in the light of these traditions given decrees that these actions are haraam unlawful. Imaam Muhammed Rahmatullahi alayh who is a student of imam Abu Hanifa rahmatullahi alayh and who has codified the teachings of Imaam Abu Hanifa rahmatullahi alayh says: Read more

All praise is for Allah. We praise Him and seek His help and His forgiveness and we believe in Him and rely on Him. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of ourselves and the vices of our deeds. There is no one to let go astray whom Allah guides and there is no one to guide whom Allah lets go astray. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah Alone. He has no partner. I also bear witness that our authority, our Prophet and our Master, Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger. May Almighty Allah send on him, on his household and on his Companions his mercy and bless them and send peace on them in abundance.

Indeed, you have beautiful model for such of you as looks for Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah a great deal. (33:21) Read more

It was the end of sixth century when ism prevailed all around and non-civilized state was touching its peaks. All big religions of that time had failed to ameliorate the situation and they did not have any remedy to the menace of debauchery and irregularity.

Mostly unimportant traditions were considered as religions and worshiping. Weaker people were subjected to terrible atrocities and excesses. Disobedience had become a tradition. It was not only a society, city or country which was experiencing such a terrible situation but riots, lawlessness and anti-social activities had gripped the entire world. Read more

In the East, in countries such as India and Indonesia, the bane of Muslim association and companionship with Hindus, Bhuddists and other Mushrikeen (polytheists) have resulted in a high degree of social and religious integration.

The Sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was sacrificed. Read more

"Yet have they taken, besides Him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they control life nor Death nor Resurrection." (Quran: Furqan, 1)
