Text clearly show Jesus is not God and the Bible does not understand human reproduction.

“For the truth stands out clearly from falsehood.” (Qur’an 2:256)

﷽ 

Let us see which of you reading this are quick-witted to spot the problem. Given what we know about human reproduction, what is the obvious error in sending brother after brother to impregnate a woman that fails to get pregnant?

Source: (Matthew 22:23-32)

“If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto her.” (Deuteronomy 25:5)

“Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.”  But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother.  What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also.” (Genesis 38:8-10)

“That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.  “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.  Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.  The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.  Finally, the woman died. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?” (Matthew 22:23-28)

You can replace the seven brothers with ten brothers or even 25 brothers if you like.

At what point does one realize that these men are not firing blanks but that this woman is infertile!

The woman has some type of medical condition that is preventing her from getting pregnant. Now if someone wants to raise an objection, stating that in Genesis 38:8-10 Onan was spilling his semen on the ground (coitus interruptus) and that perhaps all the brothers were doing that, it doesn’t help the case either.

  1. Did not have the foresight to realize that people would do this, evading their responsibility?
  2. If the story of Onan was known, the men would realize that God would strike them dead. Thus, the ever looming wrath of God.  
  3. Surely the women are not so gullible as to not know whether a man is ejaculating in them or not.

This law was before modern medicine in which we know that both a man and a woman may have issues of fertility. Given the low esteem that women are generally afforded in the Bible, it is not at all surprising to see the power of pro-creation as something that man is responsible for.

If Jesus was God, he would be aware that both men and women have a part to play in human reproduction. 

In the majority Christian view, Jesus shares the essence (being) of the Father and the Holy Spirit, which means that He (Jesus) gave those laws to Moses, proving further that he cannot be God and that the sacred text of the Jews and Christians are not free from egregious errors.

Another point to take note of:

The text has Jesus (as) say:

“ Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.”  “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.” (Matthew 22:29-30)

It looks like Jesus is in error for not knowing the scriptures!

However, the scriptures say:

“And it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.” (Genesis 6:1-2)

Jesus claims people will not marry nor be given in marriage being like the angels. Yet the angels themselves took human women as wives.

Now, watch out for the curveball they (some Christians will throw you) because they will say, “Oh, the text says,” Sons of God” not angels.   But angels are the sons of God. 

You can see where they are used interchangeably here:

https://biblehub.com/job/1-6.htm

“One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them.” (Job 1:6 New International Version)

“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.” (Job 1:6 King James Version)

Lastly, if they persist that sons of God refer to men, then this shows you it is an appellation referring to mortal human beings without any divine connotation.

The Bible’s treatment of fertility is anthropologically conditioned and not scientifically precise.

From a modern scientific perspective, if multiple brothers fail to impregnate the same woman, it is statistically improbable that all men are infertile (assuming they are fertile with other women). The most logical conclusion is that the woman has a fertility issue. This highlights an ancient misunderstanding of reproduction, where infertility was often attributed solely to the woman. However, the levirate law implicitly places the burden on the man’s lineage to continue, ignoring potential female factors.

May Allah guide the sincere truth seekers.

May Allah guide the Ummah.

May Allah forgive the Ummah.

A misunderstanding of Qur’an 24:26: Nasty women for nasty men

“Nasty women are for nasty men, and nasty men are for nasty women. And virtuous women are for virtuous men, and virtuous men are for virtuous women. The virtuous are innocent of what the wicked say. They will have forgiveness and an honourable provision.” (Qur’an 24:26)

﷽ 

This article is written so that the masses can understand the correct understanding of the verse and not the faulty understanding that is widespread among the Ummah.

Shaykh Masoud bin Muhammed Al Miqbali (h) explains the correct understanding of this verse:

This is from the ill understanding of some ayats, actually.

For example: {Nasty ones are for nasty people} (Qur’an 24:26) {good ones are for good peole} (Qur’an 24:26)

What do most people understand from this ayat? What does {good ones are for good people} mean?

Audience: “Means that the pious women is for the pious man.”

Shaykh Miqbali: “He understands that the pious woman is for the pious man, and this is not true, ever.”

{good ones are for good people,} and {Nasty ones are for nasty people,}

{good ones are for good people} and {Nasty ones are for nasty people}

He means the good words and sayings are for the good people, and the nasty words and sayings are for the nasty people.

So the nasty refers to the words and the good refers to the words, not that good women are for good men. Or else, Asia, a woman from the women of Jannah, is the woman of the Pharaoh! The Pharaoh is nasty, and she’s from the people of Jannah. So this can’t be!

And the women of Lut and Nuh are in the fire while they (Lut & Nuh) are prophets. So it’s not meant that women are wives…. No. Words are meant.

This ayat came in surah Al Nur, after mentioning the story of Ifk and the words

that were said to Lady Aisha (ra) and the accusations and false things.

So after that came the saying of Allah:{Nasty ones are for nasty people, and nasty people are for nasty ones, and the good ones are for the good people, and the good people are for the good ones.}

{Those are acquitted of what they…} ??? {…. SAY} (Qur’an 24:26)

Qutb Al A’ima (the centre of Imams) (ra) also mentioned this in his Tafseer Himyan Al Zad. He also said that it’s the view of the majority. And he stated that Ibn Abbas (ra) also went with this interpretation. He’s one of the biggest Imams of the madhab. And he has written more than 300 books!

If the Qutb is not enough, then there’s also the statement of Al Hawari in his tafseer, and it’s one of the earliest Ibadi tafseer books, 3rd hijri century. He also said the same.

For other examples of verses that have been misinterpreted or misunderstood, you may wish to see the following articles:

The Mahdi: Collection of Articles

“It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the world view that is based on the truth to manifest it over all other world views, although the mushrik make dislike it.” (Qur’an 9:33)

﷽ 

The subject of the Mahdi concerns Islamic Eschatology or what is known as end-time events.

First and foremost, it is important to understand that when one speaks of Mahdi, different schools and expressions of Islam have different ideas in mind.

Twelver Shi’a

In Twelver Shi’a theology, the Mahdi is the twelfth and final Imam, Muhammed ibn al-Hasan al-Mahdi, believed to be the direct descendant of the Blessed Prophet Muhammed(saw) through his daughter Fatima (ra). He is in occultation: He is hidden from public view by Allah’s will. He will re appear in some future eschatological event to restore justice.

Isma’ili Shi’a & The Qarmatians & Muhammed bin Isma’il

The person of Muhammed bin Isma’il caused a fracture early on, causing one stream that historians label the ‘Qarmatians’ and the other founding the Fatimid Caliphate.

The Qarmatian View.

Muhammed ibn Isma’il was not just the 7th Imam; he was the Qā’im (the Resurrector) and the Mahdi.

The Ismaili (Later Fatimid) View.

  • Muhammed ibn Isma’il was the 7th Imam.
  • He went into hiding (satr) due to Abbasid persecution.
  • The Imamate continued in his descendants.
  • They recognized a hidden line of Imams following him, which eventually culminated in Abdullah al-Mahdi Billah, who publicly declared himself Imam in 899 CE and founded the Fatimid Caliphate in 909 CE.
  • For this group, the Imam was always present on earth, whether concealed or manifest.

The Zaydi Shi’a

For Zaydis, the term “Mahdi” (the Guided One) is not exclusively reserved for a single, predestined, end-of-times figure. Instead, it is a title that can be applied to any rightly guided Imam from the Ahl al-Bayt who rises to establish justice.

There are times when they have referenced their Imams as such. For example: Al-Mahdi Li-Din Allah

While not a core dogma, Zaydi literature does contain some hadith about a future messianic figure from the Ahl al-Bayt, often referred to as “al-Qa’im” (The One Who Will Arise) or “al-Mahdi.”

Sunni View.

The dominant view and position among Sunni Muslims is that Mahdi is a figure believed to be the direct descendant of the Blessed Prophet Muhammed(saw) through his daughter Fatima (ra). He will appear in some future eschatological event to restore justice.

Again, this is the view of the vast majority of Sunni Muslims. As the articles in this entry will clearly demonstrate, there are many in the Sunni tradition that do not share this belief. 

Ibadi View. The idea of a Mahdi is not something found in our sources. We have no belief in any coming Mahdi. ​If the coming of this figure is true, we hope Allah opens our eyes to it. However, it is not a theological principle with us nor something we believe in.

It should be noted to the reader and researcher. Often, the various schools of Islam will have what is known as Shaadh (شاذ) — The Irregular/Anomalous Opinion. These are views that are anomalous or isolated. The Ibadi school has such and other schools do as well. Yet, on the issue of the Mahdi, we have not even come across a shaadh.

We establish the following facts.

The Qur’an has no mention of any Imam Mahdi.

The Ibadi hadith collection has no mention of Imam Mahdi.

There is no hadith about Mahdi in the Al-Jami’i Al-Salih, otherwise known as the Musnad Al-Imam Al Rabii.

The silence of Bukhari & Muslim.

The two great Imams of Hadith, Bukhari and Muslim, neither of them mentions Hadith concerning Imam Mahdi. What’s interesting about this is that both of them are aware of narrations on the subject that meet their criteria, yet they did not include them.

The silence of the Muwatta of Malik ibn Anas.

There is no hadith about Mahdi in the Muwatta of Malik ibn Anas.

What will Ahl Sunnah In the next 56 years and no Mahdi? Witness the genius of Ibn al-Hajr al-Asqalani as he tries to make sense of the data.

What will Ahl Sunnah do after 57 years have passed and no Mahdi.

Sunni historian and hadith specialist Dr. Bashar Awad Maarouf. “Not a single hadith about Mahdi is authentic.”

Sunni historian and hadith specialist Dr. Bashar Awad Maarouf. “Not a single hadith about Mahdi is authentic.”

Ali Erbaş Turkish Islamic scholar and president of directorate of religious affairs -diyanet in Turkey, believes Mahdi will not come and that Jesus (as) is dead. The Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) is Turkey’s highest official Islamic authority.

Ali Erbaş Turkish Islamic scholar and President of Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) in Turkey says Jesus is dead and will not return.

The great ibn Khaldūn al-Ḥaḍramī, Ashʿarī in theology, and Mālikī in jurisprudence. Writes in the Muqaddimah (Book 1, Chapter 3, section on the caliphate) about the weakness of the chains concerning narrations of Mahdi.

Hadith on Imam Mahdi in the Light of Ibn Khaldun

Shaykh Dr. Muhammed Bin Yahya Ninowy, a descendant of the Blesed Prophet Muhammed (saw) through the line of Imam al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib, expreses his doubts about the Mahdi.

Shaykh Dr. Muhammed bin Yahya Ninowy expresses his doubts on Hadith concerning the Mahdi.

Top Shi’a Imam, Ayatollah Muḥammed Āṣif Muḥsinī, admits that waiting for the ‘Hidden Imam’ has been a waste of time.

Top Shi’a Imam admits waiting for ‘Hidden Imam’ has been a waste of time

3,000 Shi’a Mahdi’s in Iran. There are so many people who claim to be the Mahdi in Iran that the country has a special prison for them.

3,000 Shi’a Mahdi’s in Iran!

Dr Kahlan Al-Kharusi (h), assistant Mufti of Oman: No coming of Mahdi. Jesus is Dead. Jesus will not return.

Assistant Grand Mufti of Oman says No coming of Mahdi and Jesus is dead and will not return.

As mentioned in the article above concerning the claimants of being Mahdi in Iran, Turkey would have to be the second-biggest offender here. 

Which “Mahdi” would you choose?

Shaykh Dr. Muhammed bin Yahya Ninowy expresses his doubts on Hadith concerning the Mahdi.

“So after the truth, what else can there be, save error? How then are you turned away?” (Qur’an 10:32)

﷽ 

We were alerted to a fascinating discussion recently between Shaykh Dr. Muhammed bin Yahya Ninowy and Tafhim Kiani on the subject: The Sunni Identity: Can Salafis Be Seen As Sunni Muslim? – Shaykh Ninowy

You may watch the very informative discussion here:

Before we comment further, we feel it is important to give some background information on Shaykh Dr. Muhammed bin Yahya Ninowy .Dr. Muhammed bin Yahya al-Ninowy is widely recognized as a descendant of the Blesed Prophet Muhammed (saw)through the line of Imam al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib

Shaykh Ninowy was featured in ‘The Muslim 500’ as regards those who were deemed to exert a great deal of influence on the Muslim Ummah. 

The link can be found here:

Sheikh Dr Muhammad bin Yahya Al Al-Ninowy

The link says:

“Sheikh Dr Muhammad Al-Ninowy is a Syrian-American scholar, author, and medical doctor based in Atlanta, Georgia, whose lineage is traced back to the Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him). In addition to a PhD in Islamic studies from the University of Georgia, he holds a Doctor of Medicine degree. He is the founding director of Madina Institute and Seminaries, The Center for Non-Violence and Peace Studies, and the charitable organization Planet Mercy, with campuses in the USA, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Malaysia, and Norway. Al-Ninowy also leads a school that follows the Sufism of Ahl-Al-Hadith. He was appointed by the Sultan of Malaysia in 2020 to serve as a member of the board of directors of the Islamic University. An upcoming book is: Nonviolence; a fundamental Islamic principle.”

In the above exchange, Shaykh Dr. Muhammed Al-Ninowy had some eye-opening statements concerning ahadith in relation to “The Mahdi.”

@1:19:33 “The hadith of the Mahdi is frankly in our Sunni tradition and also in the Shi’a tradition, but let’s say in the Sunni tradition there are one and half hadith that are ambiguous in my view. So, Sahih lilghairihi ghair sahih, the explicit are not authentic; and the authentic are not explicit. So, therefore you see, the earlier scholars did not even put it as part of the… did not put the Mahdi as part of the Aqaid.”

This is a welcome statement.  It is welcomed because we can see more and more come to this realization. 

Recently even Shaykh Hamza Yusuf made an interesting statement when he said:

The vast majority of Muslims believe in the second coming.

Which means there are Muslims who do not believe in the coming of Jesus (as)

Wonder which Muslims those are?

You can find Shaykh Hamza’s statement in an interview here;

https://primaquran.com/2024/03/29/the-vast-majority-of-muslims-believe-in-the-second-coming-shaykh-hamza-yusuf/

For those who are interested to read more on this subject:

https://primaquran.com/2024/12/30/no-mahdi-jesus-is-dead/

You may also wish to read the other entry featuring Shaykh Muhammed bin Yahya Al Ninowy here:

https://primaquran.com/2024/01/12/shaykh-muhammad-bin-yahya-al-husayni-al-ninowy-view-on-the-hadith-on-73-sects/

Now, Shaykh Dr. Muhammed Al-Ninowy did have a little blurb about the Ibadi school in the above interview.

@1:16:05 “The Khawarij of today, the Ibadis.”@1:16:52 “Not as verbally violent anymore to be honest with you.” Their tradition is.”

He was rather mild. The important thing is that for him, we are Muslims. Albeit he is clearly in error in terms of understanding our history. We also have to keep in mind that it is claimed he is a descendant of Husayn, the son of Imam Ali, as well as being disciplined in the Shaadhili Tariqah. Thus, given his own admission (in the above interview) of Sufism and its connection to Imam Ali, you can’t expect Shaykh Ninowy to give away the store. Albeit we are hopeful that gaps in information are an opportunity to learn about the Ibadi school. He has access to the Arabic language and resources, and surely he will not be excused on the day of judgement.

“So after the truth, what else can there be, save error? How then are you turned away?” –(Qur’an 10:32).

One of our team members has met him before, and he does not strike us as a person who is egotistical or driven by winning points and debates. 

May Allah (swt) continue to support Shaykh Ninowy when he strives to build bridges of mutual trust and cooperation throughout the world. Personally, we feel Muslims who attend his Masjid and his circles of learning are in good hands, and Allah (swt) knows best.

May Allah (swt) Guide the Ummah.

May Allah (swt) Forgive the Ummah.

Sunni historian and hadith specialist Dr. Bashar Awad Maarouf. “Not a single hadith about Mahdi is authentic.”

“It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the world view that is based on the truth to manifest it over all other world views, although they who rely upon other than or associate partners with Allah dislike it.” (Qur’an 9:33)

﷽ 

Dr. Bashar Awad Maarouf, a Sunni historian and hadith specialist, has concluded that there is not a single authentic narration concerning the coming of some Mahdi.

While it is common knowledge that the Qur’an does not speak about the Mahdi at all. That the two most authentic collections of hadith, according to Sunni Muslims, Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim, do not speak about the Mahdi at all, what is not so commonly known is the general weakness and unreliability of all other reports.

If you are interested to see the full interview we would recommend:

Some background concerning Dr. Professor Bashar Awad Maarouf.

Bashar Awad Marouf was born in 1940 in Alazamiyah, northern Baghdad. He graduated from primary and secondary schools in the 1960s. He enrolled in the Department of History at the College of Arts in Baghdad University from which he graduated in 1964. In that same year, he enrolled in the Master’s Program of History and Archeology at Baghdad University. Professor Marouf was appointed in 1967 as the teacher at the College of Shari’a Studies at Baghdad University. He later earned his PhD from the College of Arts at the same university in 1976. His doctoral thesis was titled: “Ad-Dhahabi’s Approach in the History of Islam.” Professor Marouf worked at Baghdad University and advanced through academic work, eventually earning a professorship in 1981. He has been keenly interested in studying and minutely scrutinizing the Prophet’s Hadiths. He has been particularly devoted to studying biographies, narrators and the ‘hidden defects’ of some of the Hadiths. He has taught as Professor of Hadith at several universities. Many of Marouf’s studies have been published in Baghdad, Cairo, Damascus, Beirut, Amman, Tunis and London.

Notable among his publications are: “The Impact of Hadith on the Emergency of Muslim History.”, “Al-Mundhiri and his ‘Al Takmila”, “Baghdad’s Biographical Histories.”, “Ad Dhahabi’s approach to the History of Islam.” , “A Journey through Thought and Heritage.” , “The History of Islam and the concept of the Arab Leadership of the Islamic Ummah.” , “Explanation of the Rulings on Chanting the Qur’an.” “A Selection of the Prophet’s Hadith.” , “The Whole Musnad (22 volumes)” “Classified and Verified Musnad” (41 volumes)

Among the many books Professor Marouf verified are: “Al-Wafayat” by Abu Masoud Al Hajji, “Ahlu Al Mi’a and Upward” by Al Hafiz Ad Dahabi. “Postscripts of the History of Baghdad, City of Peace by Ibn Al-Daybathi (5 volumes). “The Grand Mosque” -by Imam Abu Issa Al Tirmidhi (six volumes), “Sunan Ibn Majah by Imam Muhammed Ibn Yazid Al Qazwini (6 volumes),
“The Hstory of the City of Peace” by Hafiz Abu Bakr Al Khatib Al-Baghadadi (17 volumes). “The History of Islam and the Deaths of Celebrities and the Famous” by Al Hafiz Shams Addeen Ad-Sahabi (17 volumes) and many more.

Some of his works and publications may be purchased here:

https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/author/bashar-awad-marouf/

A dean of investigators in the science of Prophetic Hadith. Former rector at the Islamic University in Baghdad. He is a Fellow of the Royal Aaal Al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought in Amman, Jordan. 

Dr. Professor Bashar Awad Maarouf does not fear the blame of the blamer.  He made his conclusion after thorough investigation, tracking all the narrators and investigating all the paths. 

In regard to those who say: “But our club says this, and if you differ with the club it is a departure from faith!” 

Is the weakness of these hadiths considered a denial of the Sunnah and a departure from Islam!!! Fear Allah! 

We personally have considered that there are many such scholars among Ahl Sunnah who have come to this conclusion. However, they do not come out to the public for one of two reasons.

  1. Being ostracized and condemned. Not being welcomed to the table anymore.
  2. The fear that if this widely held belief is now considered mistaken it could cause the masses to wonder what other views or beliefs are mistaken. Thus, a desire to protect the tradition.

Allah knows best.

What will Ahl Sunnah do after 57 years have passed and no Mahdi.

“They ask you, [O Muhammed], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, “Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly.” They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, “Its knowledge is only with Allah, but most people do not know.” (Qur’an 7:187)

﷽ 

3471246720

  days

  hours  minutes  seconds

until

Arrival of Imam Mahdi

The day of Judgement was already supposed to happen.

A’isha reported:

“That when the desert Arabs came to Allah’s Messenger (saw) they asked about the Last Hour as to when that would come. And he looked towards the youngest among them and said:

If he lives he would not grow very old that he would find your Last Hour coming to you (he would see you dying).”

Source: (https://sunnah.com/muslim:2952)

This hadith goes against the ayat of Allah [swt]

“They ask you, [O Muhammed], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, “Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly.” They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, “Its knowledge is only with Allah, but most people do not know.” (Qur’an 7:187)

Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani made a calculation that the time of the Ummah should have already come and gone:

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:

I heard Allah’s Messenger (saw) while he was standing on the pulpit, saying, “The remaining period of your stay (on the earth) in comparison to the nations before you, is like the period between the `Asr prayer and sunset. The people of the Torah were given the Torah and they acted upon it till midday, and then they were worn out and were given for their labor, one Qirat each. Then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel and they acted upon it till the time of the `Asr prayer, and then they were worn out and were given (for their labor), one Qirat each. Then you people were given the Qur’an and you acted upon it till sunset and so you were given two Qirats each (double the reward of the previous nations).” Then the people of the Torah said, ‘O our Lord! These people have done a little labor (much less than we) but have taken a greater reward.’ Allah said, ‘Have I withheld anything from your reward?’ They said, ‘No.’ Then Allah said, ‘That is My Favor which I bestow on whom I wish.’ “

Source: (https://sunnah.com/bukhari:7467)

Narrated Salman:

“The interval between Jesus and Muhammad was six hundred years.“

Source: (https://sunnah.com/bukhari:3948)

Hafiz Ibn al-Hajr al-Asqalani says in his Fath al-Bari, (in vol.4, the book of hijara, page 448-449) commenting on these two narrations: “and it is evident ( from these stated narrations) that the lasting of this Islamic nation is somewhat a thousand years, this is because the age of the Jewish nation is equivalent to that of the time periods of the Christian and Muslim ages combined, and the people of transmission (ahl an naql) have agreed that the period of the Jews till the advent of Allah’s final Apostle Muhammad was more than 2000 years, and the span of the age of the Christians was 600 years from them. And also this narration points the fact about how little of the age of this world has remained.”

Torah time is = to Injil time + Qur’an time.

Torah time =2000 years.

Torah time = 2000 years -600 years = (1400) From Moses to Jesus.

Let us be generous and add 100 years.

The time of this ummah of the Blessed Messenger [saw] is 1500-600 which means only 900 years and now we are in 1441.

When Muslims reached the 1,000th year they thought they were nearing the end because of these Sahih ahadith which indicated we will have half the time the Jewish nation had, but Imam as-Suyuti [the author of the Tafsir al jalalayn] who was born in the 10th century and lived into the 11th century was alive during these times, he wrote a fatwa [legal ruling] to reassure Muslims, in which he said it was supposed to be 1000 years but there is a dua of Rasul Allah in which he supplicates Allah to give his Ummah another half a day and the companions asked the prophet how long is half a day and he answered 500 years. So the imam said the life of this Ummah is 1,500 years.

Imam as Suyuti mentions in his book: “Risalah Al-Kashf ‘An Mujawazt Hadehel Ummah Al Alf” ”, or “Treatise on Revealing of the Proceeding of this Nation Beyond the Thousand,” page 206 about the advent of the Mahdi that:

“From what the narrations reveal is that the age of this ummah extends beyond a thousand but it doesn’t exceed in increase another 500 in actuality beyond this thousand.”

So if you do the math 1500-1443=59 years left. So in these next 59 years according to them, we should see this Mahdi, the coming of Jesus, the Gog and Magog causing havoc on the Earth, the Sun rising in the West.

Keep in mind according to the above hadith: “He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die.” 59-40=19. So accordingly Jesus will show up in the year 2039.

So what is going to happen to these Muslims who, after 59 years have passed and nothing of the sort has happened? Will they apostate from the faith? Will they leave the deen?

Ya Allah [swt] I sincerely hope not. We hope that they realize that just because certain interpretations and understandings of Islam are wrong, it does not mean that Islam is wrong.

The Ibadi school, we know what it is that influenced our brothers in ‘Ahl Sunnah’.

We know that many Christians and Jews who embraced Islam in the past influenced our religion, its understanding and teachings.

We know they got this concept straight from the following:

Matthew: 20: 1-16

3,000 Shi’a Mahdi’s in Iran!

“Today those who disbelieve have lost all hope of (damaging) your faith. So, do not fear them, and fear Me. Today, I have perfected your religion for you, and have completed My blessing upon you, and chosen Islam as Dīn (religion and a way of life) for you. But whoever is compelled by extreme hunger, having no inclination towards sin, then Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.” (Qur’an 5:3)

﷽ 

“O.K. Settle down, settle down.” We are going to go about this in a very orderly manner. Which one of you is the Mahdi? Simply raise your hand!”

Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/3000-iranians-claim-to-be-the-madhi-2013-4

“EARLIER this year Iran’s authorities arrested a score of men who, in separate incidents, claimed to be the Mahdi, a sacred figure of Shia Islam, who was “hidden” by God just over a millennium ago and will return some time to conquer evil on earth.”

“A website based in Qom, Iran’s holiest city, deemed the men “deviants”, “fortune-tellers” and “petty criminals”, who were exploiting credulous Iranians for alms during the Persian new-year holiday, which fell in mid-March.”

“Many of the fake messiahs were picked up by security men in the courtyard to the mosque in Jamkaran, a village near Qom, whose reputation as the place of the awaited Mahdi’s advent has been popularized nationwide by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. When he took office in 2005 he gave the mosque $10m.”

“Iran’s economic doldrums may have helped to cause this surge in people claiming to be mankind’s saviour—and in women saying they were the Mahdi’s wife. “In an open atmosphere where people could criticise the government they would not believe these people,” says an ex-seminarian in Tehran, the capital, noting that most Iranians still get all of their news from state television and state-owned or -sanctioned newspapers.”

“Last year a seminary expert, Mehdi Ghafari, said that more than 3,000 fake Mahdis were in prison. Mahdi-complexes are common, says a Tehran psychiatrist. “Every month we get someone coming in, convinced he is the Mahdi,” she says. “Once a man was saying such outrageous things and talking about himself in the third person that I couldn’t help laughing. He got angry and told me I had ‘bad hijab’ and was disrespecting the ‘Imam of Time’,” as the Mahdi is known.”

“The most famous case was that of Ayatollah Boroujerdi, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2007 for—among other things—claiming he was the Mahdi. Like many influential “false” messiahs, he was forced to recant on state television, confessing that he had been against the Islamic Republic’s core tenets.”

“Mr Ahmadinejad has called his administration “the government of the hidden imam”. Last month he told a batch of new Iranian ambassadors to consider themselves “envoys of the Mahdi”. After his first speech at the UN in 2005, a video circulated showing Mr Ahmadinejad telling a leading Iranian cleric that world leaders had been enchanted, during his oration, by a halo around his head that had been put there by the Mahdi himself.”

Prima-Qur’an Comments:

We have no idea where they keep all these 3000 Mahdis, but could you imagine if they were all in the same prison or same facility? Surely that would be volatile.

Top Shi’a Imam admits waiting for ‘Hidden Imam’ has been a waste of time

Say, “None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allah, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.” (Qur’an 27:65)

﷽ 

A Shia scholar from the 12er Shi’i school of Islam (as opposed to the Zaydi Shia or Ismaili Shia) has made an interesting observation about the so-called ‘Mahdi’.

Mash’Allah look at this man. He certainly has the passage of time on his face. You know, as people get older they often say things that they wanted to say before but didn’t. As each of us approaches death, we become more concerned with what Allah (swt) thinks of us and less concerned with what people think of us.

Imam Muhammed Asif Muhsini said in his book “Mashra`at Bihar al-Anwar”,volume 1 page 408:

الغيبة التي امتدت أكثر من ألف سنة وربما تمتد إلى آلاف أو ملايين السنين. فإن المؤمنين لم ينتفعوا ولا ينتفعون من إمامهم الغائب – عجل الله تعالى فرجه – في الأصول والفروع ، وما يقال بخلاف ذلك فهو تخيل وتوهم ولعب بالعقول

[This Ghaybah that has taken more than a thousand years and maybe it shall keep going for thousands or millions of years. The believers living in it did not and do not benefit from their hidden Imam(may Allah hasten his appearance) in Usool or Furu`, and all else which is said is nothing but illusions and imaginations and playing with people’s minds.]

Muhammad Asif Muhsini said in the same book volume 2 page 223:

ولا يمكن القول بانتفاعنا منه عليه السلام في زمن الغيبة في الأمور الدينية إلا ممن سلب الله عقله

[It is not possible for us to say that we benefit from him (peace be upon him) in religious matters during his Ghaybah, except those whom Allah has robbed them of intellect.]

Finally, Muhammed Asif Muhsini said in footnote #1, in volume 1 page 82:

وأي فائدة لهذه الأحكام المخزونة عند الأئمة: والمكلفون يحرمون منها في أكثر من ألف سنة ولعله في ألف مليون سنة
[And what benefit does this knowledge stored with Imams hold: when the Mukallafoun (Shia) are deprived of it for more than a thousand years, and maybe it’ll last for a billion years.]

So, yes, you can imagine as women get raped and murdered and children become fatherless, and mosque becomes decimated and the landfills the cup with the injustice that this so-called ‘hidden Imam’ is somewhere waiting for just the right moment………

Getting ready and prepared…………

Some time……….

Any time…..

Or maybe waiting for the Mahdi is just a waste of time.

May Allah Guide the Ummah.

May Allah Forgive the Ummah.

Convert Muslim woman is asked personal question by her Fiancée.

“O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.” (Qur’an 49:12)

﷽ 

“As salamu alaykum. I am writing to you about my fiancée. He is a very pious Muslim and he recently asked about my past. To be more clear he asked about my sexual history and this made me very uncomfortable. I thought when we convert to Islam all our previous sins are forgiven.”

Dear respected sister, walakum salam wr wb, you are correct that when you enter into Islam all of your past mistakes, sins, errors are erased from Allah (swt). The question of your future husband is coming from a place of possible jealousy, which is natural and also from a place of safety, which is fair.

It is important for one to understand that sins can be forgiven and this relates to the afterlife. You will not be punished.  However, there are some sins that carry effects in this life.  That is why you will still feel the effects of sin in this life. 

We address this here:

The Mercy, Love and Forgiveness of Allah

Do allow us to elaborate. Anyone who has a sexual history prior to marriage owes it to themselves as well as to their future spouse to at the very least get a blood test done.

Your past is your past and, yes, it is wrong for your future husband to inquire about it. He may ask if you are a virgin, and you can answer if you wish or not. However, going into details about your past or pressing you further is out of bounds.

What you could propose and what we would suggest to you and any converted Muslim ever faced with this question is the following: First, be unwavering in your commitment to Allah (swt) and assure your future spouse of this. Be unwavering in your resolve that your past is your past. However, what you could propose is that both you and your spouse take a blood test and share the results. This way, your honour and his/her honour are all either protected or brought into question in a way that is fair and just to both parties. 

The reason we say this is that people who are born and raised as Muslims, even in righteous households, also get up to nonsense and haram things. There are people who have all the outward signs of an observant Muslim but inside their hearts are very dark. Allah (swt) knows best. So it is also possible that your fiancée has a past that you do not know about.

So our advice to you ladies and gentlemen is to give a very firm and diplomatic response.

Q: “Are you a virgin?” A: “I appreciate your concern and to put your mind at ease I can propose that we both take a blood test to ensure that we are both safe.”

To the brothers reading this, it is a woman’s prerogative if she wishes to answer that question or not. This is not about a person having a sexual past.  There are those who have been molested or sexually violated and asking them about their past brings up trauma that they have moved beyond. 

If the question is repeated, you can offer the same response. If the question is a dealbreaker for that individual, you can simply walk away from it, and Allah (swt) will open other doors for you. Insh’Allah.

So, on that note to any brothers/sisters reading this who do have a past, we would urge you to get tested for your own sake and for that of your future spouse or any children you have.

In Islam, protection of one’s lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl / ḥifẓ al-nasab) is considered one of the five essential objectives of the Sharīʿah (maqāṣid al-sharīʿah). These objectives are:

  1. Protection of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn)
  2. Protection of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs)
  3. Protection of intellect (ḥifẓ al-ʿaql)
  4. Protection of lineage/progeny (ḥifẓ al-nasl)
  5. Protection of wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl)

If you have an unfortunately positive blood test, you do not despair because you may find a partner that is in a similar situation, and you can both try to adopt children or be surrogate parents. You may also embrace the fullness of all life has to offer without having children. 

Again, your fiancée does have the right to ask that question, and you have the right to answer yes/no or as we proposed, a diplomatic response. Some people may see your lack of a yes/no response as not being forthright. They say to offer a diplomatic response is to be ambiguous. We do not agree with that. The reason we propose that type of response is that to ask that question is to question your honour, and you likewise have the right to question their honour.

Also, if you start off a relationship having even the smallest seed of distrust or doubt, it is best to back off altogether. Relationships, especially marriages, are built upon trust.

Allah (swt) knows best and the help of Allah (swt) is sought.

Ibadi view: Is the voice of the woman awrah?

“Then one of the two women came to him, walking bashfully. She said, “My father is inviting you so he may reward you for watering ˹our animals˺ for us.” When Moses came to him and told him his whole story, the old man said, “Have no fear! You are ˹now˺ safe from the wrongdoing people.” (Qur’an 28:25)

﷽ 

“O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women: if you are mindful ˹of Allah˺, then do not be overly seductive in speech ˹with men˺ or those with sickness in their hearts may be tempted, but speak in a moderate tone.” (Qur’an 33:32)

So our noble teacher, and scholar Shaykh Dr. Abdullah bin Sa’ed Al Ma’mari (May Allah continue to bless and protect him) has stated: That this matter of women speaking to men who are not their mahram has been severely criticized by a group of scholars, to the point that they claim that the woman’s voice is awrah, and we do not know of any evidence for that in the Book of Allah (swt), Nor in the Sunnah of His Blessed Messenger (saw).


As has been quoted in the Qur’an:

“She said, “My father is inviting you so he may reward you for watering ˹our animals˺ for us.” (Qur’an 28:25)

Musa (as) is a high caliber person himself, being a Messenger of Allah (swt). This itself shows that it is O.K. for a woman to speak to a man, and a man to speak to a woman. As long as the speech is not seductive. This is to protect the woman from a man who has some illness in the heart who can seek to active upon it.

Although it is permissible for her to talk in terms of origin with a foreign man, this conversation should be as much as needed, so that it does not exceed what is required, for fear of going too far in this matter, because excessive speaking is not desirable for both the man and the woman.

Likewise, when a woman speaks, she is forbidden to be seductive when speaking. That is why those of the scholars that said a woman’s voice is a fitnah, if she is seductive in speech. It is not said that it is ‘awrah, rather, it is said that it is a fitnah — i.e. for a man — if she is seductive in speaking.

“O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women: if you are mindful ˹of Allah˺, then do not be overly seductive in speech ˹with men˺ or those with sickness in their hearts may be tempted, but speak in a moderate tone.” (Qur’an 33:32)

“We only give this talk so that the truth is between these two extremes, so the woman is not stressed. To the point that her existence is folded, and she does not have any role in society, nor does the woman become vulgar, so that the door is opened for her to be a cause of sedition, and thus, the Muslim woman knows today that her modesty does not prevent her from taking her part in the reformation of society.” -Shaykh Dr. Abdullah bin Sa’ed Al Ma’mari (May Allah continue to bless him and benefit many by him)
