Misconception:- Why we relate Quran with Medical Science?
this short video clip answers a a common question which lingers in the minds of some youngsters that Why do we Muslims compare Holy Quran with Medical Science or any other branch of secular science ? Is it fanaticism to relate every thing with Religion Islam ? Is it because of our religious sentiments or does it have some rational behind this?
Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr.Tahir-ul-Qadri on ” Islam and Medical Science at King Edward Medical College Lahore 1987
Dar al-Harb (House of war) & Dar al-Islam (House of Islam)
What are Divisions of the world in Islam ? What is the true meaning of Dar al-Harb & Dar al-Islam ?
Regarding division of this world, which is again a very wrong pretext which is taken by terrorists and extremists people they have been giving very wrong concept they misuse Islamic terms on wrong places and consider whole non Muslim world as dar al-harb ,but what to talk of non Muslim countries they consider Muslims countries have already been turned in to dar al-harb that’s why they are fighting war against Pakistan. Islam says even if there is corrupt government , in any country even then you can not take arms against them ,you have peaceful means to change the government ,my last chapter of fatwa deals with this topic – what are the peaceful means? democratic means constitutional means peaceful means- enter in to the process get integrated with the society and work peacefully to change the situation as every civilized society is doing no body is allowed in any case even they are corrupt ,
first of let me clear that this categorization dar al Islam and dar al-harb.. i have categorized this in to five – some old jurist used to categorize it into two some made it into three,i have categorize it into five .first of all lets say this is not a textual matter division of world and countries is not mentioned in Quran ic text or Holy Prophet Hadiths.this is an Ijtehadi matter which has been derived by the Islamic jurists on the basis of Quran and Sunnah
so there are five abodes according to Islamic teaching which can be derived juridically .
1.Dar al-Islam (House of Islam)
Dar al Islam means land of peace abode of peace and not abode of the laws of Islam-again this is a confusion .Imam Abu Hanfia ,Shams ul Aima Imam Sirkhasee ,Imam Tahavi,Imam Ibn al-Qayam ,Allama Ibn e Tamyia ,Aaima of Fiqh of Shafi.Imam Maliki,Imam Hanble all four Sunni schools even the Jafari Schools all are agreed upon this idea ..majority of them say if a country is ruled by Muslims there are three conditions and people living there Muslims or non Muslims they are getting peace security and law of kufar/Shirk is not the constitution of that land, even a single law of sharia is enforced ,all other laws of Islamic sharia are not enforced ,even then that land is known to be the land of peace dar al-islam.and aima of fiqh say that the reason why this is known is dar al Islam they say its not because of ain ul islam-laws of Shriah but because of Salaam thats why those countries will be called as abode of islam. if peace is guarantied ,cultural freedom,religious freedom,life honor property business, all human rights they are guarantied protected and there is no fear of there life so because of that guarantied peace which is known as Salaam, and word Islam has been originated from salam thats why its known as abode of peace as dar a-islam .so in the light of all aima and jurists and all western countries even you may not mention any country including USA UK and other western countries where Muslim and non Muslims are not getting guarantied peace in there life ,the Muslims are allowed to build there mosque -religion is free,they allow big Islamic centers ,they allow to do Islamic research ,and big gatherings . just 2 weeks before i was addressing a conference of Muslims 50000 people were there at GPU , you are allowed in London and i can mention and challenge that there are some Islamic countries where this kind of Islamic gathering is not allowed ! you are not allowed to arrange 5000 people together .this much freedom is given to you. you are allowed to go for haj umrah your charity zakart your fast every thing you are free to do everything so if u are getting all freedoms so if you are getting all rights which u can not get even in some Muslim countries so still is there any room to say that these countries are dar-al-Harb ? i guarantee all these countries are almost similar to dar-al-islam and i have no hesitation to say it as dar al islam if it is not misunderstood.
2. Dar al-Harb (House of war)
Dar al-Harb دار الحرب “house of war”is only that country which is at war on you ,when two nations are fighting with each other one to one ,and even two countries are fighting then even you cant attack non combatant civilian population war is between armies not between civilians people. that’s totally harm to attack civilians, Prophet Muhammad guarantied them is Islam so this is the position of dar al harb.
3.Dar al-Sulh
abode of conciliation if two countries are at war or they were going to start war ,or before the war started or during the fight ,one country surrender and enter into a peace ,so before war started if they finish the warfare on a particular condition ,so that particular condition which makes that country dar al-sulh the country of conciliation as the laws of country of conciliation is same as laws of dar-al-Islam
4. Dar al-’Ahd (House of truce)
Dar al-’Ahd دار العهد house of treaty where there is permanent because sulh is conditional it can be stipurated period for 10 years or 5 years as in case of Hudabiya but dar ul Al-Ahd if u enter into a permanent everlasting or long time treaty of peace then it is known as dar-al-Ahd ,so if it is dar-al-ahd every person belonging to that country is Moahad weather he lives there or live in Muslim country individual can also be a Moahad so this is dar-ul-ahad so this is dar-al-ahd abode of treaty -and people of abode of treaty enjoy the same rights as the people of dar-al-Islam
5. Dar al-Hiayad
the basic original relationship between Muslims and non Muslims is it Sulh ?answer is no then is it treaty ? answer is no. is ist hostility answer is no.so then what is the original relationship? its is neutrality which is known as al Muhayada dar-al hayad- it is neither al muslama nor al-muslaha nor al-musadaqa nor al-muharba its neutral al-muhayada
all states Muslims or non Muslim were originally neutral to each other then there further relationship created fights if they decided to become friends its known as dar-al-Sulh or if they decided to fight each other then it became dar-al-harb and if they decided to remain neutral then its known a s dar-al-mohayada
so this is the condition of whole world so whole world is dar al islam similar to dar al islam except if two countries are fighting with each other that particular area or the whole world non muslim or Muslim is dar al-Ahad because of UNO. according to UNO all nationals have entered into treaty of peace mutual peace through UNQ by being member of this organization ,so every body is bound to this charter of UNO,so its obligation to maintain peace- to live an let live others with peace so in fact this is Islamic law Quranic Law ..because of this ahad International treaty now every country who is part of uno has become part of dar al-ahad.and Quran says if there is dar -al ahad u cant take life of any person . this is like taking life of Muslims ,so just quoting dar al-harb i have already mentioned if some one attacks on you u cant initiate the war ,not in order to make them Muslims there is no coercion absolutely no coercion on peoples to make other Muslims,Full Sorah al-kafiroon was reveled on the subject of the freedom of religion
1. Say: ‘O disbelievers! . I do not worship those (idols) that you worship. Nor do you worship (the Lord) Whom I worship. I shall never (ever) worship those (idols) that you worship. Nor shall you (ever) worship (the Lord) Whom I worship. (So) you have your Din (Religion) and I have my Din (Religion).’
so this a gaurante for freedom of religion given by Islam.
so dar al-Harb if somebody attacks you, and dar-al-Ahd
An-Nisa Verse No.90.
But (do not kill) those who have allied with a people between you and whom there is a (peace) treaty, or who (losing heart) come to you in such a state that their breasts are afflicted (with this obsession) whether they should fight you or their own people. If Allah had so willed, He (strengthening their hearts) would have given them supremacy over you. Then they would certainly have fought you. So if they keep away from you and do not fight you and send you (a message) for peace, then (in the interest of peace) Allah has left no way open for you (to launch any aggression) against them.
and the same thing which i have stated regarding dar-al-moahida in the same verse 90 of Sorah Nisa.

A Solution to fight against Sectarianism by Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr.Tahir-ul-Qadri
f

al-Sayf al Jali Ala Munkir e Wilayat e Ali (as) – اعلانِ غدیر
18 Dhul-hijjah, the day when the Prophet (SAW) stayed at Ghadīr Khum after his return from Hajjat-ul-wadā‘ to Medina, and surrounded by the Companions (RA), he declared while raising the hand of ‘Alī al-Murtadā (SAW):
مَنْ كُنتُ مَولاهُ فعَلِيٌّ مَولاهُ
One who has me as his master has ‘Alī as his master
This was the declaration of ‘Alī’s spiritual sovereignty and its unconditional acceptance is binding on the believers till the Day of Judgment.
It clearly proves that anyone who denies ‘Alī’s spiritual leadership in fact denies the Prophet’s leadership. This most humble follower of the Prophet (SAW) felt that some people deny this reality partly out of ignorance and partly out of prejudice, which is spreading unnecessary tension in the Muslim community.
Analysing the Reality of Hadith of Constantinople:Exposing the lies & fabrication of Yazeed Lovers
There should not be any doubt about the fate of the cursed Yazid. Not only was he a kafir and destined for Hell, but those so-called Muslims who love Yazid or the lovers of Yazid are destined for Hell. In this lecture Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri makes his views clear on this issue coupled with complete references to back up these views.
He also clarifies the distortions and misrepresentations made by supporters of Yazid on the hadith of Qustuntanya. As the Prophet SAW said that those who take part in the battle of Qustuntanya will go to Jannah. Followers of Yazid say he took part in that battle so he should not be cursed as a ‘jahanami’ but should be praised as a ‘jannati’. This claim is totally false because Yazid did not even take part in the battle of Qustuntanya. As he refused to go and take part in that battle, he was sent by his father as punishment, afterwards, to go and take part, but by that time the Muslim army had finished its job and had left Qustuntanya, so Yazid was not part of that army. This is also discussed in detail by Shaykh-ul-Islam among other major issues regarding the fate of Yazid and those who follow and praise him.
Those who follow or praise Yazid are known as Kharijis and Shaykh-ul-Islam explains a tradition of Sahih Bukhari in detail that refers to Kharijis and how the Prophet SAW described them to be empty of Iman.
Important Clarification of The Verse of Sword in Holy Quran 9:4 SorahTaubah
Muslim Women Held Prominent Roles in Early Islamic History
A question that is often raised by non-Muslim observers as well as Muslims themselves is the role of women in any Islamic political system. Unfortunately since there is a prevailing image of Muslim women being oppressed within a Muslim society it is often thought that Muslim women have very little or no at rights at all in the political system. However this is not the case. Throughout Islamic history, women have been active members of the political system and have always enjoyed manifold rights in this field. This article will aim to highlight the general rights of women within the political sphere. The research regarding this paper is based entirely on the books, lectures and notes of Qaidi Mutharram so all credit is due to him for his unending efforts. However since I have had the honor to compile this paper I take the ultimate responsibility of any mistakes that may occur in this compilation, I thus seek forgiveness from Almighty Allah for any errors that may occur.
Politics is the system used to regulate the society we live in. It is the administrative and social structure of a community, organized into a state and a tool to govern and rule a nation. An essential aim of any political system is to create a sense of social responsibility within the members of that state so that they too share in the burdens and duties of being part of any type of politic. Islam is no different and in fact encourages active participation from both men and women, requiring them to be fully fledged members of their community. Social responsibility in Islam is derived from the Quranic verse which states:
And [as for] the believers, both men and women – they are friends and protectors of one another: they [all] enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong, and are constant in prayer, and render the purifying dues, and pay heed unto God and His apostle. It is they upon whom God will bestow His grace: verily, God is almighty, wise. (Quran 9:71).
This verse elaborates how women and men are encouraged to work together in the religious realm with reference to prayer, in the social realm by purifying their wealth and helping the needy, and in the political and educational realm by following the commands of Allah (swt) and His Holy Prophet (saw). Both men and women are asked to enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and in order to do this practically a political system is needed to enforce the rule of law and legislation.
Involvement in the political system can take many forms, from being political advisors and members of select committee’s, to voting in elections and being members of a Parliament or Senate; from holding a position as a legislator or a judge, to being a head of state and Islamic history provides precedents for most of these roles for women.
