Bidat

 Bidat means additions done to our religion Islam by following other religion customs like Hinduism and Christianity. Like following Hindu customs like Diwali and holi by Muslims and celebrating christian customs like Christmas by the  Muslims.

Our followers of the other sect that is shiasm commit bidat by doing matam during ashura days in the memory of Hazrat Imam  Hussain's martyrdom. In our religion there is absolutely no concept of beating one up and we have taken this tradition of beating ourselves with sticks or knives or swords from Hinduism. Similarly even our sunnis follow bidat of visiting the graves of our loved ones and spreading food and sweets on the Eidun miladun Nabi day commemorating the Holy Prophet Muhammad's birth by following a tradition which is similar to the christian tradition of christmas. 

In the end what I would like to say is that we shouldnt commit Bidat and should follow everything we have in the Quran and Sunnah of our Holy Prophet Muhammad (May Peace Be Upon Him)

Eid ul-Adha celebrates the time when Ibrahim had a dream which he believed was a message from Allah asking him to sacrifice his son Isma'il as an act of obedience to God. The devil tempted Ibrahim by saying he should disobey Allah and spare his son. As Ibrahim was about to kill his son, Allah stopped him and gave him a lamb to sacrifice instead. How is Eid celebrated? In some countries, Muslims sacrifice a sheep or goat (in Britain the animal is killed at a slaughter house). The meat is shared equally between family, friends ...

Surah Al Anfal

 Introduction and Verse 1 The introduction of this Surah is quite long but it is significant and very important to set the stage for what is about to follow. This is part of a series of surahs – Surah Anfal and Surah Taubah. This surah is related to the previous surah (Surah A’raf) in that they both talk about the ‘Sunnah of Allah’ (Sunnatillah). It talks about how Allah deals with similar Nations in the same way. It is mentioned in the Qur’an: [This is] the established way of Allah with those who passed on before; and you will not find in the way of Allah any change. [33:62] In the second half of Surah A’raf, Allah talks about the worldly destruction of nations and people that came before, specially the people of Musa and the destruction and drowning of Fir’awn and in Surah Anfal Allah will talk about the destruction of the people of Makkah (NOT the entire Arabian Peninsula). The Makkans here will be destroyed and defeated by the very swords of the believers – the army behind Rasu...

Interest is Haraam in Islam

' Riba'  ( Arabic :  ربا ,الربا، الربٰوة ‎  ribā or al-ribā ,  IPA:  [ˈrɪbæː] ) can be roughly translated as " usury ", or unjust, exploitative gains made in trade or business under  Islamic  law.  Riba  is mentioned and condemned in several different verses in the  Qur'an  ( 3:130 ,  4:161 ,  30:39  and perhaps most commonly in  2:275-2:280 ). It is also mentioned in many  hadith  (reports describing the words, actions, or habits of the Islamic prophet  Muhammad ). While Muslims agree that  riba  is prohibited, not all agree on what precisely it is. It is often used as an Islamic term for  interest  charged on loans, and the belief this is based on — that there is a consensus among Muslims that all loan/bank interest is  riba  — forms the basis of a $2 trillion  Islamic banking  industry. However, not all scholars have equated  riba ...
