Salaamu Alaikum, Firstly, the answer to this question has been illustrated by Buubto, Masha Allah. Allah has no gender since Allah is the All-Supreme Al-Khaliq(The Creator)all the Best Names and Attributes belong uniquely to Allah only. There is nothing comparable unto Allah. "Wa Lam Yakun lahu kufuwan axad." ( Surah Ikhlaas Verse 4) " And there is none comparable unto Allah" Secondly, the English language used to interpret the meanings of the Quran is just interpretation not the original text since the Quran is only the Quran in the Arabic Fusha language it was revealed in to the Prophet(SAW). Allah has told us in the Quran several times that Allah Created the creation in pairs (for example men and women amongst us humans and the animals). Hence only the creation has gender since the creation can be classified as either belonging to one category(for examples as humans and animals being either male) or another category (or being female). One of the reasons the creation having gender is that the male and female can mate to reproduce. The Creator that made the creation does not befit to possess gender characteristics due to the Creator being Eternal (The First and the Last) and Perfect. And the Creator does not begget nor begotten. In other words nothing came out of the Creator nor did the Creator come out of anything. The Creator is As-Samad ( Eternal). Huwal awalu wal aakhiru ( the First and the Last). " Lam yalid wa lam yuulad." In conclusion, The Creator is Unique, Unlimited, and Perfect. All the Best Names and Attributes belong to Allah. And There is nothing comparable unto Allah. Aspects like gender are irrelevant and not characteristics of the Supreme One. Everything which is correct that I have stated comes from Allah and every mistake I have made comes from my own faults and I seek forgiveness from Allah. Wabilahi Tawfiq,

Salaamu 3laikum, Mottorola did you see their new phone that damn romotola or something like that where you can flick the screen clockwise. But my favourite cell phone is the brand new sony erikson t68i colour mobile I say jolly good old chap where it has a camera you can take photographs and send over them over the phone or net. And also posseses this blue tooth technology wireless technology whereby one can answer phone while phone is upstairs locked away in your safe :cool: phone I dare said it. To get back to the topic are you guys gonna keep playing this inimmiganitive connondrum for eternity? come on folks it is time to axe the thread and ditch the "this or that" riddles and choose the weakest link So lets vote: Continue this game or Send it to the grave RIP (end it once and for all) :rolleyes: P.S. Some utilisation of imaginative nature might assist one solve this dillema W/Salaam P.S. On a serious note remember Mohamed the young boy who was brutally murdered by the enemy (Ilaahay ha una hariisto - Ameen)

Salaamu 3alikum, Lakkad = Habari yako saxiib ? To answer your Question. Firstly, you must define what is meant by the people of the book? We see that majority of christians and jews are not ahlul kitaab because they do not follow the original scriptures (The Injiil and Torah) they have changed the books and made up their own versions In the case of the christians some 25,000 different versions of the bible such as the King James version amongst others and most jews use the Tarmud (torah changed by their rabis). You know the wall in Jerusalem where the jews bang their heads the jews think this was part of solomon's temple infact it is not it was a temple set up by pagan romans. Suleyman built Masjid Al Aqsa not that fake temple. Therefore, ahlul kitaab women are very few if not non existence whereas Muslim women are abundant infact out number us Muslim men. So Lakkad Insha Allah you will find yourself a pious Muslim woman who is pure. To answer the question of the topic I like wiil waal am currently conducting research and will get back to you. W/Salaam

The Qur'an and the Hadith use the word "jihad" in several different contexts which are given below: 1. RECOGNIZING THE CREATOR AND LOVING HIM MOST: It is human nature to love what is seen with the eyes and felt with the senses more than the unseen reality. The Creator of the Universe and the One God is Allah. He is the Unseen Reality which we tend to ignore and not recognize. The Qur'an addresses those who claim to be believers: "O you who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for protectors if they love disbelief over belief; whoever of you takes them for protectors, such are wrong-doers. Say: if your fathers, and your children, and your brethren, and your spouses, and your tribe, and the wealth you have acquired, and business for which you fear shrinkage, and houses you are pleased with are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His way: then wait till Allah brings His command to pass. Allah does not guide disobedient folk." (The Holy Quran 9:23, 24) It is indeed a struggle to put Allah ahead of our loved ones, our wealth, our worldly ambitions and our own lives. Especially for a non-Muslim who embraces Islam, it may be a tough struggle due to the opposition of his family, peers and society. 2. RESISTING PRESSURE OF PARENTS, PEERS, AND SOCIETY: Once a person has made up his mind to put the Creator of the Universe above all else, he often comes under intense pressures. It is not easy to resist such pressures and strive to maintain dedication and love of Allah over all else. A person who has turned to Islam from another religion may be subjected to pressures designed to turn him back to the religion of the family. We read in the Qur'an: "So obey not the rejecters of faith, but strive (jahidhum) against them by it (the Qur'an) with a great endeavor." (The Holy Quran, 25:52) 3. STAYING ON THE STRAIGHT PATH STEADFASTLY: Allah says in the Qur'an: "And strive (Jadihu) for Allah with the endeavor (Jihadihi) which is His right. He has chosen you and has not laid upon you in the deen (religion) any hardship..." (The Holy Quran, 22:78) "And whosoever strives (Jahada), strives (yujahidu) only for himself, for lo! Allah is altogether independent of the universe." (The Holy Quran, 29:6) As for those who strive and struggle to live as true Muslims whose lives are made difficult due to persecution by their opponents, they are advised to migrate to a more peaceful and tolerant land and continue with their struggle in the cause of Allah. Allah says in the Qur'an: "Lo! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wronged themselves, (the angels) will ask: 'In what you were engaged?' They will way: 'We were oppressed in the land.' (The angels) will say: 'Was not Allah's earth spacious that you could have migrated therein?'" (The Holy Quran, 4:97) "Lo! Those who believe, and those who emigrate (to escape persecution) and strive (Jahadu) in the way of Allah, these have hope of Allah's mercy..." (The Holy Quran, 2:218) Allah tests the believers in their faith and their steadfastness: "Or did you think that you would enter Paradise while yet Allah knows not those of you who really strive (Jahadu), nor knows those (of you) who are steadfast." (The Holy Quran, 3:142) "And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and fruits; but give tidings to the steadfast."(The Holy Quran, 2:155) We find that the Prophet Muhammad(S) and his clan were boycotted socially and economically for three years to force him to stop his message and compromise with the pagans but he resisted and realized a moral victory(2). 4. STRIVING FOR RIGHTEOUS DEEDS: Allah declares in the Qur'an: "As for those who strive (Jahadu) in Us (the cause of Allah), We surely guide them to Our paths, and lo! Allah is with the good doers." (The Holy Quran, 29:69) When we are faced with two competing interests, it becomes jihad to choose the right one, as the following Hadith exemplify: "Aisha, wife of the Prophet(S) asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, we see jihad as the best of deeds, so shouldn't we join it?' He replied, 'But the best of jihad is a perfect Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah).'" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, No. 2784) At another occasion, a man asked the Prophet Muhammad(S): "'Should I join the jihad?' He asked, 'Do you have parents?' The man said, 'Yes!' The Prophet(S) said, 'Then strive by serving them!'" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, No. 5972) Yet another man asked the Messenger of Allah(S): "'What kind of jihad is better?' He replied, 'A word of truth in front of an oppressive ruler!'" (Sunan Al-Nasa'i , No. 4209) The Messenger of Allah(S) said: "...the Mujahid (one who carries out jihad) is he who strives against himself for the sake of Allah, and the Muhajir (one who emigrates) is he who abandons evil deeds and sin." (Sahih Ibn Hibbanm, No. 4862) 5. HAVING COURAGE AND STEADFASTNESS TO CONVEY THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM: The Qur'an narrates the experiences of a large number of Prophets and good people who suffered a great deal trying to convey the message of Allah to mankind. For examples, see the Qur'an 26:1-190, 36:13-32. In the Qur'an, Allah specifically praises those who strive to convey His message: "Who is better in speech than one who calls (other people) to Allah, works righteous, and declares that he is from the Muslims." (The Holy Quran, 41:33) Under adverse conditions it takes great courage to remain a Muslim, declare oneself to be a Muslim and call others to Islam. We read in the Qur'an: "The (true) believers are only those who believe in Allah and his messenger and afterward doubt not, but strive with their wealth and their selves for the cause of Allah. Such are the truthful." (The Holy Quran, 49:15) 6. DEFENDING ISLAM AND THE COMMUNITY: Allah declares in the Qur'an: "To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to defend themselves), because they are wronged - and verily, Allah is Most Powerful to give them victory - (they are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right - (for no cause) except that they say, 'Our Lord is Allah'..." (The Holy Quran, 22:39-40) The Qur'an permits fighting to defend the religion of Islam and the Muslims. This permission includes fighting in self-defense and for the protection of family and property. The early Muslims fought many battles against their enemies under the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad(S) or his representatives. For example, when the pagans of Quraysh brought armies against Prophet Muhammad(S), the Muslims fought to defend their faith and community(3). The Qur'an adds: "Fight in the cause of Allah against those who fight against you, but do not transgress limits. Lo! Allah loves not aggressors. ...And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against transgressors." (The Holy Quran, 2:190, 193) 7. HELPING ALLIED PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT BE MUSLIM: In the late period of the Prophet Muhammad's(S) life, the tribe of Banu Khuza'ah became his ally. They were living near Makkah which was under the rule of the pagan Quraysh, Prophet Muhammad's(S) own tribe. The tribe of Banu Bakr, an ally of Quraysh, with the help of some elements of Quraysh, attacked Banu Khuza'ah invoked the treaty and demanded Prophet Muhammad(S) to come to their help and punish Quraysh. The Prophet Muhammad(S) organized a campaign against Quraysh of Makkah which resulted in the conquest of Makkah which occurred without any battle(4). 8. REMOVING TREACHEROUS PEOPLE FROM POWER: Allah orders the Muslims in the Qur'an: "If you fear treachery from any group, throw back (their treaty) to them, (so as to be) on equal terms. Lo! Allah loves not the treacherous." (The Holy Quran, 8:58) Prophet Muhammad(S) undertook a number of armed campaigns to remove treacherous people from power and their lodgings. He had entered into pacts with several tribes, however, some of them proved themselves treacherous. Prophet Muhammad(S) launched armed campaigns against these tribes, defeated and exiled them from Medina and its surroundings(5). 9. DEFENDING THROUGH PREEMPTIVE STRIKES: Indeed, it is difficult to mobilize people to fight when they see no invaders in their territory; however, those who are charged with responsibility see dangers ahead of time and must provide leadership. The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad(S), had the responsibility to protect his people and the religion he established in Arabia. Whenever he received intelligence reports about enemies gathering near his borders he carried out preemptive strikes, broke their power and dispersed them(6). Allah ordered Muslims in the Qur'an: "Fighting is prescribed upon you, and you dislike it. But it may happen that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you. And Allah knows and you know not." (The Holy Quran, 2:216) 10. GAINING FREEDOM TO INFORM, EDUCATE AND CONVEY THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM IN AN OPEN AND FREE ENVIRONMENT: Allah declares in the Qur'an: "They ask you (Muhammad) concerning fighting in the Sacred Month. Say, 'Fighting therein is a grave (offense) but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its inhabitants. Persecution is worse than killing. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith, if they can..." (The Holy Quran, 2:217) "And those who, when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them, (are not cowed but) fight back." (The Holy Quran, 42:39) To gain this freedom, Prophet Muhammad(S) said: "Strive (Jahidu) against the disbelievers with your hands and tongues." (Sahih Ibn Hibban, No. 4708) The life of the Prophet Muhammad(S) was full of striving to gain the freedom to inform and convey the message of Islam. During his stay in Makkah he used non-violent methods and after the establishment of his government in Madinah, by the permission of Allah, he used armed struggle against his enemies whenever he found it inevitable. 11. FREEING PEOPLE FROM TYRANNY: Allah admonishes Muslims in the Qur'an: "And why should you not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)? - Men, women, and children, whose cry is: 'Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You, one who will protect; and raise for us from You, one who will help.'" (The Holy Quran, 4:75) The mission of the Prophet Muhammad(S) was to free people from tyranny and exploitation by oppressive systems. Once free, individuals in the society were then free to chose Islam or not. Prophet Muhammad's(S) successors continued in his footsteps and went to help oppressed people. For example, after the repeated call by the oppressed people of Spain to the Muslims for help, Spain was liberated by Muslim forces and the tyrant rulers removed. After the conquest of Syria and Iraq by the Muslims, the Christian population of Hims reportedly said to the Muslims: "We like your rule and justice far better than the state of oppression and tyranny under which we have been living."(7) The defeated rulers of Syria were Roman Christians, and Iraq was ruled by Zoarastrian Persians. WHAT SHOULD MUSLIMS DO WHEN THEY ARE VICTORIOUS? Muslims should remove tyranny, treachery, bigotry, and ignorance and replace them with justice and equity. We should provide truthful knowledge and free people from the bondage of 'associationism' (Shirk, or multiple gods), prejudice, superstition and mythology. Muslims remove immorality, fear, crime, exploitation and replace them with divine morality, peace and education. The Qur'an declares: "Lo! Allah commands you that you restore deposits to their owners, and if you judge between mankind that you judge justly. Lo! It is proper that Allah admonishes you. Lo! Allah is ever Hearer, Seer." (The Holy Quran, 4:58) "O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah's witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to Piety and fear Allah. And Allah is well acquainted with all that you do." (The Holy Quran, 5:8) "And of those whom We have created there is a nation who guides with the Truth and establishes justice with it." (The Holy Quran, 7:181) "Lo! Allah enjoins justice and kindness, and giving to kinsfolk, and forbids lewdness and abomination and wickedness. He exhorts you in order that you may take heed." (The Holy Quran, 16:90) "Those who, if We give them power in the land, establish prescribed prayers (salah) and pay the poor-due (zakah) and enjoin right conduct and forbid evil. And with Allah rests the end (and decision) of (all) affairs." (The Holy Quran, 22:41) DID ISLAM SPREAD BY FORCE, SWORDS OR GUNS? The unequivocal and emphatic answer is No! The Qur'an declares: "Let there be no compulsion (or coercion) in the religion (Islam). The right direction is distinctly clear from error." (The Holy Quran, 2:256) Here is a good study of the question of the spread of Islam by a Christian missionary, T. W. Arnold: "...of any organized attempt to force the acceptance of Islam on the non-Muslim population, or of any systematic persecution intended to stamp out the Christian religion, we hear nothing. Had the caliphs chosen to adopt either course of action, they might have swept away Christianity as easily as Ferdinand and Isabella drove Islam out of Spain, or Louis XIV made Protestantism penal in France, or the Jews were kept out of England for 350 years. The Eastern Churches in Asia were entirely cut off from communion with the rest of Christiandom throughout which no one would have been found to lift a finger on their behalf, as heretical communions. So that the very survival of these Churches to the present day is a strong proof of the generally tolerant attitude of Mohammedan [sic] governments towards them"(8). Islam does not teach, nor do Muslims desire, conversion of any people for fear, greed, marriage or any other form of coercion. In conclusion, jihad in Islam is striving in the way of Allah by pen, tongue, hand, media and, if inevitable, with arms. However, jihad in Islam does not include striving for individual or national power, dominance, glory, wealth, prestige or pride. Source: www.themodernreligion.com P.S.

Jihad Explained By M. Amir Ali, Ph.D., Published by The Institute of Islamic Information & Education In the linguistic sense, the Arabic word "jihad" means struggling or striving and applies to any effort exerted by anyone. In this sense, a student struggles and strives to get an education and pass course work; an employee strives to fulfill his/her job and maintain good relations with his/her employer; a politician strives to maintain or increase his(1) popularity with his constituents and so on. The term strive or struggle may be used for/by Muslims as well as non-Muslims; for example, Allah, the One and Only True God says in the Qur'an: "We have enjoined on people kindness to parents; but if they strive (Jahadaka) to make you ascribe partners with Me that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not..." (The Holy Quran, 29:8; also see 31:15) In the above two verses of the Qur'an , it is non-Muslim parents who strive (jahadaka) to convert their Muslim child back to their religion. In the West, "jihad" is generally translated as "holy war," a usage the media has popularized. According to Islamic teachings, it is unholy to instigate or start war; however, some wars are inevitable and justifiable. If we translate the words "holy war" back into Arabic, we find "harbun muqaddasatu," or for "the holy war," "al-harbu al-muqaddasatu." We challenge any researcher or scholar to find the meaning of "jihad" as holy war in the Qur'an or authentic Hadith collections or in early Islamic literature. Unfortunately, some Muslim writers and translators of the Qur'an, the Hadith and other Islamic literature translate the term "jihad" as "holy war," due to the influence of centuries-old Western propaganda. This could be a reflection of the Christian use of the term "Holy War" to refer to the Crusades of a thousand years ago. However, the Arabic words for "war" are "harb" or "qital," which are found in the Qur'an and Hadith. For Muslims the term Jihad is applied to all forms of striving and has developed some special meanings over time. The sources of this development are the Qur'an (the Word of God revealed to Prophet Muhammad(S) [(S) denotes Sall-Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam, meaning peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]. P.S. Remember Mohamed the young boy brutally murdered by the enemy.

Salaamu 3laikum, First brother it would have good idea if you define somali culture/tradition. Since for me culture in a Muslim country such as Somalia is defined as the citizens trying to live according to Sharia (Quran and Sunnah). I would tell someone who is interested in the somali culture mainly about our beloved way of life (Diinta) and try to show them the mercy and beauty of the true complete way of life. Preach in a beautiful rational manner calling them unto the ways of Islam W/Salaam

Salaamu Alaikum, All I can say is Alhamdulilah. I have been blessed with beatiful unique extrinsic and instrinsic features which has been ordained for me and I am happy for this blessing. Allah has given me health, taqwa and most importantly blessed me with Islam and to this I am grateful to the One that is All-Knowing All-Wise. Sooner or later when I die I am going to leave this body of mine no matter whether it was in tip top condition or rusty. I cannot take my body with me just my good deeds and as the brother said before start working to earn yourself a place in Janah whereby you will be given everything your heart desires and blessed with beautiful feautures and patners and many other pleasures beyond your imagination.

Alhamdulillaahi rabil-'aalameen, was-salaatu was-salaamu 'ala nabeeyinaa muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa ashaabihi wa man tabi'ahum bi ihsaanin ila yawmid-deen, amma b'ad Salaamu Alaikum, I keep repeating to people that we should not discuss about polygamy without knowledge. Polygamy works perfect and it is good and already a decreed matter. In every command we are given we should obey and every prohibition we should keep away. We do not have any decision or opinion on it just accept it and submit. " It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision." (33:36) The Prophet (SAW) taught us: " If I prohibit you anything, stay away from it. And If I commanded you anything, do as much of it as you are able to do." Wabi Allahi Tawfiq.

Salaamu Alaikum, Quote from an anonymous nomad: I think khalad baa laga fahmay higher education. Getting a degree is not important in itself, wats important is the skills u gain in completing the course. 1. I been a cog in the education mechanistic system from the tender age of three mostly exclusively in Britain and do not for one minute buy the cliché "secular education can teach one much skills" though Alhamdulilah I been blessed with many competencies per se outside secular education. One famous Sheikh who himself studied secular education reading linguistics and modern history once uttered: "People learn more outside the secular education system than inside it." 2. The only feasible objective for myself being in the education system is mainly due to situational circumstances and duress from parents. In other words, I am in this damned philistine prolonged education hype just to obtain materialistic gain. For example, to obtain the transcript (the degree paper) as a pre-requisite to applying graduate for jobs since without a degree very few are considered. 3. Mainstream education can be found not empowering students to ponder upon free-minded opinions instead equips students with prejudice understanding. Merely the system favours concept, theories and philosophy of secularists theorists even though one might disagree with these points they still must accept. Consequently, one’s intellectual prowess is limited as now someone is thinking for them rather than themselves deducing ideologies freely from widely sources of qualitative and quantitative data. For example, lets imagine we have a student of science who questions the theory of evolution is he allowed to express his views and state this is not a scientific fact due to people not having the faintest idea of where naturally the so called universal cell originated from and the darwinists not having conclusive evidence of actual creatures in the middle of the pre and pro evolution stages and what is the next stage of evolution where does this process end? They will tell you do not question just accept it as a scientific fact. 4. In conclusion, the real education lies in Al Islam covering Sharia Law, Sociology, Psychology, Business and Economics, Religion, Politics and so on. Every aspect of human life is covered in Quran and Sunnah. Islam is a way of life goes beyond the limited definition of religion in English language. All knowledge comes from Allah. Mankind cannot know anything unless Allah decrees it. Allah also gave mankind brains. Mankind should use this organ pondering upon many of life’s wonderful issues. At the same time one must submit to the one above. For example, when one performs sujud he places his head (where the brain is - the brain being the intellectual organ) on the ground illustrating the glorification of the One above and submission of the intellect and elevating the heart above the brain. The heart being the more paramount organ because the heart enables one to surpass mere rationality it goes beyond bounded rationality. W/ Salaam, -
