    Growing a beard in Islam

    The Hadith is the strongest kind you can have I believe. Sometimes we need to just do what Allah and the Prophet (Sallalahu Alayhi Wa Salam) instruct us to do, even if we don't understand why. However in this case the Prophet ( Sallalahu Alayhi Wa Salam) has given reasons why we must let the...

When a Muslim land is invaded it is an individual obligation to defend it whether there is an Islamic political system in place or not. There was no Islamic system in Afghanistan yet I don't think anyone would argue...

    Discussion: Islamic teachings by Dr. Badawi (Canada)

The best example I can think which makes this clear...
