If Eid falls on a Friday
Eid falls on Friday must one pray Jumah
Question:
If ”Eid Al-/ Fitr or Eid Al-Adha fell on Friday, . In this case what should be done? Should we pray Zuhr if we dont offer the Friday prayer, or is there no requirement for it if we do not perform the Friday prayer?
Answer:
Whoever prayed the Eid prayer on Friday, it is permitted for him not to attend the Friday prayer on that day, except for the Imam, for he is obliged to perform it for whoever wishes to attend it -be they from among those who attended the Eid prayer , or those who did not attend it . If no one attends the Friday prayer , he is relieved of its obligation and he should offer the Zhur prayer. In saying this, the scholars cite as evidence the narration of Abu Dawud in his Sunan, on the authority of Iyyas bin Abi Ramlah Ash-Shami, who said : I witnessed Mu’awiyyah bin Abi Sufyan, may Allah be pleased with him , asking Zaid bin Arqam: Did you witness two Eids falling on the same day with the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe was salaam ? He said : Yes . He asked : ” And what did he do ? He replied : ” He offered the Eid prayer , then he gave permission for those who wished, to perform the Friday prayer , saying : Whoever wants to pray, then let him pray . (Abu Dawud no . 1070)
Also cited as evidence is the narration of Abu Dawud in his Sunan, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe was salaam , which states that he said : Two Eids have fallen on this day, so whoever wished, it will siffice him instead of the Friday prayer; and we are offering the Friday prayer.( Abu Dawud no 1074)
This proves that it is allowed on Fridays for those who have attended the Eid prayer not to perform the Friday prayer , but that the Imam is not excused, because he sallallahu alayhe was salaam said : And we are offering the Friday prayer.
Also cited as evidence is the narration of Muslim, on the authority of An-Nu’man bin Bashir, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhe was salaam used to recite Surah Al-A’la and Surah Al-Ghashiyah in the Eid prayers and the Friday prayers and he might have prayed both of them one day and recited them in both prayers ( Muslim no 878) So whoever does not attend the Friday prayer from among those who have prayed the Eid prayer, he must pray it as Zhur , in accordance with the evidences which prove that it is obligatory to offer the Zhur prayer for those who do not attend the Friday Prayer .
And may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, Muhammad and upon his family and Companions.

For Those Who Scream Jihad!
Allaah says who is worse then he who says that which he does not do!! So this is a challenge to you!
Ibn Hajar Asqalani stated in while he was counting and naming the Firqatu Al-Khawarij that there are those who call too and beautify rebellion even without physically taking part in it and they may be WORSE then those that actually participate there in.
Abu Dawud Narrated in Masaa'il Ahmed on the Authority of Abdullah Ibn Muhammed that the WORST of the khawarij are those that call for it without participating in it!
Thul-Khwaysarah at-Tamimi(The forefather of the khawarij that told the prophet sallah Allaahu alayhi wassalam to BE JUST in distrubuting the war booty) did not raise a sword against the prophet but only used his tongue in rebellion is the GREATEST PROOF that rebellion (khuruuj) is from the sword and also from the tongue and the speech (so not just the sword) as Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen raheemahulah stated.
Ibn Taymiyyah stated:
So whoever from the believers is weak in the earth or is weak in the time in which he is living in, must apply those verses of the Quraan which mention patience and forgiveness against those who are
seeking to harm Allaah and His Messenger from those who were given the scriptures prior and also from the polytheists. As for those people who are in a state of strength then they are to apply the verses regarding fighting the leaders of kufr who slander the deen. They are also to apply the Quranic verses regarding fighting those who were given the scriptures prior until they pay the jizya and are subjugated. (As-Saarim al Maslool, Vol 2, p.413)
PUT YOUR POM POMS AND SKIRTS AWAY...MAN UP AND ACT ON WHAT YOU PREACH OR SHUT UP AND KNOW YOUR PLACE!!! Otherwise you're no better than cowardly cheerleaders instigating fitnah by agitating the enemy who then massacres a whole Muslim land as a result of your type of "dawah". Walaahu musta'aan. WHEN WILL YOU EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT ISLAAM?
Imagine if the Prophet sallah Allaahu 'alayhi wassalam was alive today calling for Jihaad and you are hiding? Bin Laden and Mula Umar your great leaders are calling for you and you are hiding amongst the disbelievers aiding their economies giving them victory and verbally attacking the Muslim lands..the rulers and the scholars... from a distant sanctuary instead of making hijrah!
Ibn Abbas radi Allaahu anhu said to the khawarij:
"THERE IS NONE FROM THE COMPANIONS AMONGST YOU"
And likewise we say to you today:
There is none from the scholars amongst you. There is none from this ummah that Allaah has raised amongst you. There is no one from those who are most fearful and most pious in this life amongst you. There is none who has tread the path of Muhammed sallah Allaahu 'alayhi wassalam amongst you.

About the Book:
The book before you is an explanation of a concise yet great work written
by a noble Scholar of Islaam from the twelth century of Islaam, known
as Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab. He compiled this work, called "The Three
Fundamental Principles", in order to make clear to the people the core
and fundamental principles upon which Islaam is established.
Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab took these principles from the texts of
Qur'aan and pure Prophetic Sunnah, as well as the Companions and those
who succeeded them. This is why in all of the works of the Shaikh,
whether small or large, you will find quote after quote from the
Religious texts. Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab is a much maligned and
misrepresented Scholar. His adversaries, in his time and after expended
much effort in spreading misinformation regarding his belief and
methodology.
Some ascribe to him extremism; others ascribe to him deviation in belief and
creed. All of this are falsehoods easily repelled by the legacy of
authorship that he left behind, which clearly show that he was neither
an extremist, nor a deviant, rather his works show that he was a true
traditionalist in the Path of the Messenger of Allaah and his
Companions.

The sisters were not hurt walhamdulillaah!
Long Island landscaper tried to run over two Muslim women, police say
The Associated Press
Thursday, August 27th 2009, 9:59 PM
A landscaper with a virulent hatred of Islam tried to run over two Muslim women at a Smithtown, L.I., gas station after threatening to kill them, police said.
Joseph Ballance, 23, pleaded not guilty yesterday to aggravated harassment in the Aug. 20 confrontation.
It came less than a week after an Ecuadoran man was beaten and robbed in an alleged bias attack in Suffolk County.
Ballance approached 49-year-old Chervern Cartier and her 20-year-old daughter, who were wearing traditional Muslim robes, in a Smithtown service station parking lot, authorities said.
After hurling epithets at the women and threatening to "chop you up into little pieces and kill you," Ballance spat on their car and drove his own toward them before driving off, according to police and a court complaint.
The self-employed landscaper later told investigators, "They don't belong here," Detective Sgt. Robert Reecks said.
Ballance is being held on $10,000 cash bond. If convicted, he could face up to four years in prison.
The women were not hurt.

Bosnian Serbs Convicted of Burning Muslims Alive
Filed at 11:24 a.m. ET
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) -- A U.N. war crimes court convicted two Bosnian Serb cousins Monday for a ''callous'' 1992 killing spree that included locking scores of Muslims in two houses and burning them alive.
Yugoslav war crimes tribunal judge Patrick Robinson said burning at least 119 Muslims to death in the eastern Bosnian town of Visegrad ''exemplified the worst acts of inhumanity that one person may inflict on others.''
He sentenced Milan Lukic to life in prison and Sredoje Lukic to 30 years.
Robinson said Milan Lukic was the ringleader in both incidents, helping herd victims into the houses, setting the fires and shooting those who tried to flee the flames. The judgment said his cousin Sredoje Lukic aided and abetted in one of the blazes
Witnesses ''vividly remembered the terrible screams of the people in the house,'' Robinson said, adding that Milan Lukic used the butt of his rifle to herd people into the house, and said, ''come on, let's get as many people inside as possible.''
Milan Lukic shook his head but looked unmoved as Robinson pronounced sentence. Sredoje Lukic leaned back in his chair, his face blank.
Even Robinson, a veteran judge at the tribunal that has been prosecuting Balkan war crimes for 15 years, sounded stunned by the Visegrad atrocities.
''The perpetration by Milan Lukic and Sredoje Lukic of crimes in this case is characterized by a callous and vicious disregard for human life,'' he said.
''In the all-too-long, sad and wretched history of man's inhumanity to man, the Pionirska street and Bikavac fires must rank high,'' the judge added.
Prosecutors seeking to clear the court's docket as quickly as possible had asked for the Visegrad case to be handed to a Bosnian court because the cousins were relatively low-ranking suspects. But tribunal judges refused, saying the allegations were so serious they should be handled in The Hague.
Milan Lukic also was convicted of murdering 12 other Muslims, shooting them in the back on the banks of the Drina River, which runs through Visegrad, so the current would sweep away their bodies. One of the victims was murdered in front of his wife and child.
Robinson said Milan Lukic ''ignored the victims pleas for their lives,'' as he and other Serb paramilitaries executed them with a single shot in the back before firing into the bodies of any men they believed were still alive.
Milan Lukic led a paramilitary group known as both the ''White Eagles'' and the ''Avengers,'' which terrorized Muslims in Visegrad. His cousin Sredoje was a local policeman and a member of the group.
Both men also were convicted of cruelty for visiting a detention center to savagely beat Muslim inmates.
German city honors Egyptian woman slain in court
By JOERG ABERGER (AP) – Jul 11, 2009
DRESDEN, Germany (AP) — Hundreds of people carrying white roses gathered Saturday on the steps of Dresden's city hall in honor of an Egyptian woman who was fatally stabbed by a defendant in a German courtroom.
Marwa al-Sherbini, a pregnant 31-year-old pharmacist, was stabbed 18 times in a court where she was to have testified against a young Russian-born German. She had filed a complaint against him in 2008 accusing him of insulting her with racial slurs.
The public memorial, organized by local civil rights groups, drew more than 1,000 people, including the Egyptian ambassador and officials from the state of Saxony, where the July 1 stabbing took place.
Mourners brought single white roses that they laid beneath large photos of the dead woman.
Al-Sherbini was stabbed as her 3-year-old son looked on. Her husband was injured when he intervened to protect her and he remains hospitalized.
The attacker, identified only as Alex W., 28, remains in detention pending the outcome of an investigation on suspicion of murder. Charging a suspect typically takes months in Germany.
Al-Sherbini had already testified once against the man in court in November 2008, after which he was fined for calling her a "terrorist" and an "Islamist at a playground.
He had returned to court on July 1 to challenge the fine. Because the man was not considered a threat and had not been held in detention before the court session, there was no security surrounding the trial.
Many German courts, including that in Dresden, have no security checks at their entrance.
"This crime by a lone wolf destroyed a family's hopes within minutes," said Egyptian Ambassador Ramzy Ezzeldin Ramzy. "We expect the attacker to be swiftly sentenced and her family to receive justice."
Egyptians have expressed outrage at the attack, saying the German response has been too little, too late and serves as an example of racism and anti-Muslim sentiment.
Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her condolences to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak during the Group of Eight summit in Italy on Thursday and sent her top official for immigration affairs to offer sympathy to al-Sherbini's husband, but has not publicly condemned the slaying.
Ramzy said he was convinced "that this act does not reflect the reality of the German people. The Germans have an open mind, including to people of other faiths," he said.
One of those at the memorial was Walerius Steinhauer who, like the attacker, was born in Russia of German forefathers and was allowed to emigrate after the collapse of communism in 1989.
"We Russian-Germans do not understand this young man. All of us are asking ourselves how could a Russian-German (immigrant) become a right-wing extremist?"
Others expressed similar outrage.
Tobias Weidlich, 29, brought his two young daughters to the memorial.
"The brutality and horror of this crime is unbelievable," he said.

The Ruling on Attacking the enemy by blowing oneself up in a car
What is the ruling regarding acts of jihaad by means of suicide, such as attaching explosives to a car and storming the enemy, whereby he knows without a doubt that he shall die as a result of this action?
Answer:
Indeed, my opinion is that he is regarded as one who has killed himself (committed suicide), and as a result he shall be punished in Hell, for that which is authenticated on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam).
"Indeed, whoever (intentionally) kills himself, then certainly he will be punished in the Fire of Hell, wherein he shall dwell forever" [Bukhaaree (5778) and Muslim (109 and 110)].
However, one who is ignorant and does not know, and assumes his action was good and pleasing to Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala), then we hope Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) forgives him for that which he did out of (ignorant) ijtihaad, even though I do not find any excuse for him in the present day. This is because this type of suicide is well known and widespread amongst the people, so it is upon the person to ask the people of knowledge (scholars) regarding it, until the right guidance for him is differentiated from the error.
And from that which is surprising, is that these people kill themselves despite Allaah having fordbidden this, as He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) says:
{And do not kill yourselves. Surely, Allaah is Most Merciful to you}, [Soorah an-Nisaa., Aayah 29].
And many amongst them do not desire anything except revenge of the enemy, by whatever means, be it halaal or haraam. So they only want to satisfy their thirst for revenge.
We ask Allaah to bless us with foresight in His Deen and action(s) which please Him, indeed He is all Powerful over all things.
