Boycot Dinamalar





Dear Muslim Umah,
There is a arrogance happening agains ISLAM, printing of Prophet(let peace be upon him cartoons)
Before it was in Europe, denmark, france etc,
NOW IT IS OUR COUNTRY ,INDIA.

On 1st of September, a daily newspaper in Tamilnadu, Dinamalar published the Prophets(Let peace be upon him) cartoon in its computer magazine. This is a clear mockery against Islam. There were angry protests in vellore, salem and madurai and case has been registered.

But as a Muslim we should try to
1.) Stop this evil by hand
2.) Stop this evil by words
3.) At the lease hate them and boy cot them

The Book on Government (Kitab Al-Imara)
Muslim :: Book 20 : Hadith 4569
It has been narrated on the authority of Umm Salama that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: In the near future there will be Amirs and you will like their good deeds and dislike their bad deeds. One who sees through their bad deeds (and tries to prevent their repetition by his band or through his speech), is absolved from blame, but one who hates their bad deeds (in the heart of his heart, being unable to prevent their recurrence by his hand or his tongue), is (also) safe ( so far as God's wrath is concerned). But one who approves of their bad deeds and imitates them is spiritually ruined. People asked (the Holy Prophet): Shouldn't we fight against them? He replied: No, as long as they say their prayers.

What not to Do in Taraweeh:-

1.) Should not look forward for its conclusion, should be done with Kushoo
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "Successful indeed are the believers, those who offer their salaah (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness." [al-Mu’minoon 23:1-2] i.e., fearing Allaah and in a calm manner. Khushoo’ means calmness, serenity, tranquillity, dignity and humility. What makes a person have this khushoo’ is fear of Allaah and the sense that He is always watching. (Tafseer Ibn Katheer, Daar al-Sha’b edn., 6/414). Khushoo’ means that the heart stands before the Lord in humility and submission. (al-Madaarij, 1/520).
It was reported that Mujaahid said: "and stand before Allaah with obedience" [al-Baqarah 2:238 interpretation of the meaning]’ part of obedience is to bow, to be solemn and submissive, to lower one’s gaze and to humble oneself out of fear of Allaah, may He be glorified. (Ta’zeem Qadr al-Salaah, 1/188).

2.) Should not be fast

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Once the Prophet entered the mosque, a man came in, offered the prayer and greeted the Prophet. The Prophet returned his greeting and said to him, "Go back and pray again for you have not prayed." The man offered the prayer again, came back and greeted the Prophet. He said to him thrice, "Go back and pray again for you have not prayed." The man said, "By Him Who has sent you with the truth! I do not know a better way of praying. Kindly teach Me how to pray." He said, "When you stand for the prayer, say Takbir and then recite from the Qur'an what you know and then bow with calmness till you feel at ease, then rise from bowing till you stand straight. Afterwards prostrate calmly till you feel at ease and then raise (your head) and sit with Calmness till you feel at ease and then prostrate with calmness till you feel at ease in prostration and do the same in the whole of your prayer."
Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 12 :: Hadith 759

He (saw)"forbade three things: pecking like a hen, squatting (iq'aa'), like a dog and looking around like a fox"
Ahmad and Abu Ya`laa. See Saheeh at-Targheeb (no. 556).

3.) Reciting Qur'an fast, so that no one behind understand and the reciter just want to finish reciting..

Recitation of Quran in Taraweeh- and other Prayers.

In Soorah al-Muzzammil(chapter 73) ALLAH(subahanallahu ta'ala) says
أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلاً
Meaning: And recite the Qur'ân (aloud) in a slow (pleasant tone and) style

Ibn Katheer in his Tafseer describes as follows:-
(And Rattil the Qur'an Tartil.) meaning, recite it slowly, for that will help in understanding the Qur'an and contemplating it. This is how the Prophet used to recite. `A'ishah said, "He (the Prophet) used to recite the chapter slowly, so much so that it would be longer than chapters that were actually longer than it.'' In Sahih Al-Bukhari, it is recorded from Anas that he was asked about the recitation of the Messenger of Allah , so he replied, "He used to elongate the letters.'' Then he (Anas) recited,


﴿بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴾


(In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.) (1:1) and he elongated "In the Name of Allah,'' and he elongated "The Most Gracious,'' and he elongated "The Most Merciful.'' Ibn Jurayj reported from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, who narrated from Umm Salamah that she was asked about the recitation of the Messenger of Allah , so she said, "He used to pause in his recitation, verse by verse.


﴿بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ - الْحَمْدُ للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ - الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ - مَـلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ﴾


(In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is Allah's, the Lord of all that exists. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense.) (1:1-4) This was recorded by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi. We have already mentioned the Hadiths which prove the recommendation of slow rhythmic recitation and beautification of the voice while reciting at the beginning of this Tafsir. For example, the Hadith which states,


«زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُم»


(Beautify the Qur'an with your voices.) and the Hadith,


«لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالْقُرْآن»


(He is not of us who does not chant nicely with the recitation of the Qur'an.) and the Hadith,


«لَقَدْ أُوتِيَ هَذَا مِزْمَارًا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُد»


(Verily, he has been given this windpipe from the windpipes of the family of Dawud.) Referring to Abu Musa. Abu Musa replied, "If I knew that you had been listening to my recitation, I would have truly beautified it for you.'' It has been narrated from Ibn Mas`ud that he said, "Do not scatter the (recitation of) Qur'an out like the scattering of sand, and do not rush through it like the hasty recitation of poetry. Stop at its amazing parts and make your heart move with it. None of you should let his concern be to reach the end of the chapter.'' This has been recorded by Al-Baghawi. Al-Bukhari recorded from Abi Wa'il that he said, "A man came to Ibn Mas`ud and said, `I read the Mufassal chapters (from Qaf to An-Nas) last night in one unit of prayer.' Ibn Mas`ud said, `This is rushing like the haste of reciting poetry. the Most Merciful. The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense.) (1:1-4) This was recorded by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi.
