A Hint to Learn from: When Rasulullah (SAW) migrated to Madinah and found the Jews fasting on the 10th of Muharram. He asked them why, and was told: “It is an auspicious day; it is the day when ALLAH delivered the children of Israel from their enemy (i.e. Pharaoh); and, therefore, Musa (AS) fasted on that day. The Prophet (SAW) said, “I am worthier of Musa (AS) than you are.” Thereupon, he fasted on that day, and ordered the Muslims to fast. There are more important issues facing the Muslim Ummah, than waiting to label your fellow Muslims whenever theres any kind of Celebration you deem un Islamic. April Fools is the most recent one, If all these fanatics can tag anything they dislike to the non-Muslim ideology, Ill tell them to stop the double standard and blame game, the Facebook we all enjoying was created by a non-Musim, why spend a lot of time on it, isnt Haram? The good innovations created by the non-Muslims are so many, which we are all benefiting from. Next thing will be a Fatwah to ban FB for life, but thats a no, no, since they are enjoying it like everyone else. The real scholars are not on FB preying, rather connecting with people live in the form of Dawah and other good works in their communities. Dont be a hypocrite, mingling on FB should then fall under the fundamentalist condemnations, why sugarcoating it. Am not surprised at all, for if were criticized for Celebrating The Birth of our Noble and Beloved Prophet Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (SAW) which is considered as innovation Bidah, then nothing-else will be safe from their badmouthing. Birthdays, Mothers Day, Womens Day, Fathers Day, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, Breast Cancer Month, Graduation, etc., all take some kinda shorts, but not a Nations Independence Celebration. When Prince William and Princess Kate had their first born George, with all the media attention, many were rejoicing, the anti came condemning it as usual. Ill wish my mother, wife, sisters and all the beautiful women, Happy Mothers Day In Shaa ALLAH. Saying Jumuah Mubarak to your fellow Muslim is not forbidden, just make sure we dont neglect the most essential part, the Jumuah Prayer, so I dont see all the fuss about this either. Fadilatou Sheikh Al Islam El Hajj Ibrahim Abdullah Niass (RA) told the Muslim Scholars who were against, and doubting the U.S. astronauts who first visited the moon, that we should have been there before them, so why being jealous with all the questions. Instead of competing in Science and Technology we keep doubting the non-Muslims, whilst they keep innovating and improving in all aspect. If youre so anti West, then why not move to Peaceful Syria, the media reports are only exaggeration, thats what Ive been hearing from the youtube scholars. Saudi Arabia banning women from driving or even voting, you call this Islamic. Brainwash as many ignorants as you can, but many of us aint falling for it. Spend more time in finding ways to end the senseless bloodshed in the Muslim Nations, end oppression, and start using your oil wealth to help the poor. Blowing up innocent people calling it Jihad, the radical scholars and their followers never condemn such, shy away from it, or try to justify it. Alhamdulillah, many of us spent at least 14 years in Christian Schools back home, and still didnt diminish our Faith as Muslims. Before you share these posts condemning all celebrations, without knowledge, let us deal with real stuff affecting many in our livelihood.
