    This thread reminds a time when Sh. Saed Raage, was invited to Islam awareness week. When the lady introduced him, she extended her hand. The sheikh was like I don't shake hand, then the lady he gave a big hug. The sheikh was embarrassed and let her finished her hug.

    Anigu waxaan u arkaa in dadkan in lagu maadaysto kaliya meshan uu u keenay. Sababtoo ah, haddii runta loo hadlaayo oo Ilaah laga baqaayo, wax 'beautiful' la yiraa anigu meesha ma arko. .

    Nephys, you might think they are not beatiful but they are beatiful in their own way.

    Let me see if I can transtlate this one, since serene gave up.

     

    A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio (nin baa ka shaqeynayey motarsaykal kiisa, isagoo jooga barsadiisa) and his wife was in the kitchen (iyo xaaskiiso joogto kijada). The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle when it accidentally slipped into gear (Ninka waas ku ciyaarayo motosaykal enginkiisa ilaa marki dambo ay gacantiisa ka baxdey). The man, still holding onto the handle bars (ninka oo wali haysto meesha gacanto), was dragged through the glass patio doors(yaa ku dhacey albaabbka glasska aa barsada) and along with the motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house (iyo motosaykal kii waxeey ku dhiceen dhulka guriga). The wife(xaaskiia), hearing the crash,(maqashey qaylada) ran into the dining room(ku soo oradey barsada) and found her husband lying on the floor(waxay araktey ninkeeda oo dhulka jiifo), cut and bleeding (jaran iyo diigbaxayo) the motorcycle lying next to him,(motosaykal kii oo agtasiisa jiifto) and the shattered patio door(iyo albaabki oo jajabey). The wife ran to the phone and summoned the ambulance(xaaaskiisa way ku uratey telephoneka waxeena wacdey ambulance). Because they lived on a fairly large hill(sababti waxay ku noolayan burjo aad u wayn) the wife went down the several flights of stairs to the street to escort the paramedics to her husband (xaaskii waxay aday hoos xooga jaranjaroos oo jidka si soo wado dadka caawiya ninkeeda).

    After the ambulance arrived and transported the man to the hospital,(markii aa timid ambulance oo u qadey ninki isbitaalka) the wife righted the motorcycle and pushed it outside(xaskii wadey motosaykal oo u riixdey banaanka). Seeing that gas was spilled on the floor,(markii ay araktey gas in uu dhulka kuu daatey) the wife got some paper towels,(xaaskii waxay soo qaadey istaraasho) blotted up the gasoline,(don't know) and threw the towels in the toilet(ku tuurtey istaraayinya suuliga). The man was treated and released to come home (ninki wala dawayey iyo guriga loo soo dira). Upon arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle(Markii oo guriga imaadey, wuu fiiraya albabka jajabey iyo waxa gaarey motosaykalka)

    enjoy it :D

    Nike™

     

    The sign of NIKE (tick) or a word NIKE printed on T-Shits & Caps. Should muslims avoid purchasing & wearing the types of Stuffs. As if listen from many people that "It is Shirk" & it means I obey any other GOD (than Allah) (Nauzubillah) Please provide me brief answer & the history of Nike (if it is Truth).

     

    Praise be to Allaah.

     

    This well known registered trademark, Nike, which may be the most well known of sporting brands in the world, bears the name of the Greek goddess of victory. The founders of this company who chose this name were Philip Knight and Bill Bowerman. They chose this name as a symbol of good luck and hope of victory for sportsmen who wore this brand and propagate the symbol of this god.

     

    This is something well known that is stated in encyclopaedias. See Wikipedia.org on the internet. In an article on this topic in the well-known al-Mawrid dictionary it says:

     

    Nike was the god of victory among the ancient Greeks, who was usually presented in the form of a winged maiden, carrying a crown in one hand and a palm branch in the other. End quote.

     

    Al-Mawrid Qamoos Ingleezi ‘Arabi (p. 613)

     

    We find the same information in a book called al-Mu’taqadaat al-Deeniyyah ‘inda al-Shu’oob, ed. by Geoffrey Barrinder, which was published in Arabic in Silsilat ‘Aalam al-Ma’rifah, no. 173, p. 409.

     

    Thus it is clear that it is not permissible for the Muslim to wear this symbol or to imitate those who wear it. The Muslim believes in the Oneness of Allaah (Tawheed) and believes that victory, help and strength come from Him alone. Wearing this symbol is contrary to his belief and faith. If he has no option but to buy the products of this company, then at least he should erase their symbol and name so that it is not on his chest, foot or neck. Thus his religious commitment will be safe as will his belief (‘aqeedah).

     

    Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

     

    With regard to images, such as images which appear on clothes for adults and children, they are the same: it is not permissible for a person to wear anything with pictures on it, or to dress his children, boys and girls alike, in anything that has pictures on it.

     

    With regard to words written on garments, such as “I am a Christian” on a sweater, or “I am a Jew” or “Christian” or “sexual fluid” or “the gushing water of man” or writing the symbol for Venus, which is a symbol for immoral actions, and also writing “the ancient Greek god of love” or “alcoholic drink” or the name of a man and woman, or “Christmas” – all of these are unacceptable.

     

    What matters is that we are a Muslim people, and what we must do is boycott these clothes. We should also write to the Ministry of Trade, reminding them to fear Allaah, and tell them: You must be very careful about such things that are imported to our market.

     

    Subhan Allaah, a Muslim boy or girl with the words “I am a Christian” or “I am a Jew” written on their clothes! Don’t we understand? Are we sheep? Subhaan Allaah, we should be one ummah. If the people in charge are heedless of this and are unaware of it, we should write to them and point it out and send examples of these clothes. That has to do with those who are in charge. As for the rest of us, we should advise them and explain this matter to them. If we do that we will have discharged our duty, and they will be responsible before Allaah.

     

    “The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,

     

    89. Except him who brings to Allaah a clean heart [clean from Shirk (polytheism) and Nifaaq (hypocrisy)]”

     

    [al-Shu’ara’ 26:88-89]

     

    Woe to them, for they have betrayed the trust and fallen short in taking care of their flock, so the ummah will be their opponents on the Day of Resurrection.

     

    As for us, what we must do is boycott these things, and not spend our money on that which is bad for us, because at the very least a boy may start accept accepting these words that say that he is a Jew or a Christian, when we know that the Jews and Christians have been our enemies since ancient times.

     

    Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

     

    “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Awliyaa’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa’), then surely, he is one of them. Verily, Allaah guides not those people who are the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust).

     

    52. And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease (of hypocrisy), they hurry to their friendship, saying: ‘We fear lest some misfortune of a disaster may befall us’”

     

    [al-Maa’idah 5:51-52]

     

    i.e., we are afraid that some misfortune may befall us, but if we make friends with them, they will be with us. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

     

    “Perhaps Allaah may bring a victory or a decision according to His Will. Then they will become regretful for what they have been keeping as a secret in themselves”

     

    [al-Maa’idah 5:42]

     

    What we must do is boycott these things completely, and if we see that a shopkeeper is selling them, we should advise him and tell him to fear Allaah, and draw his attention to it, because some shopkeepers do not know English and do not know what the writing says. But we should tell them. Allaah is sufficient against those who wrote it and deceived the people with it.

     

    Even the names of singers and soccer (football) stars and others who are not Muslim – all of that is not permissible, because it will lead to the Muslim venerating these people, who are kaafirs.

     

    With regard to images (pictures), we have stated that they are haraam on sweaters, shirts and pants. End quote.

     

    Liqa’ al-Baab il-Maftooh (4/question no. 14)

     

    And Allaah knows best.

     

     

    I was shocked to find out this :eek: . I don't know what I will do with my six pairs of NIKE shoes:(.

    Kool-kat you have no right to judge others especially a young child such that age (isku xishow) :D . It is between them and Allah what they wear, because only Allah knows their heart. There are people who cover from head to toe yet might not pray and someone who does not cover but will never miss their farad salats. Its all about the heart and your actions.

    Zack I agree with you, it is bidca to make your own holiday if it was not practiced by the prophet (s.a.w) and the sahabs. Alhough I do not celeberate for fathers dat but every single day I make sure that I make dua for my father that is the highest level of jannah(jannatul-alfirdoos). As the prophet (s.a.w) said that when a person dies all his deeds will be cut, except for sadaqatil jariah, knowledge that he/she left behind and a pious kid that will dua for them.

    It is a great practice for a child as young as five years to wear the hijab. Personally I do thank my mom and my islamic school teachers for teaching us the importance of hijab. Most of my friends who do not wear the hijab were introduced to the hijab in their teens and it was strange for them to wear. Everything needs time, if you tell your daughter she has to wear the hijab when she hits puberty and she was never introduced to the hijab when she was young imagine how she would feel.

    Johny B, the unmoved mover that your talking about is a shirk and you cannot compare it to the explaination of hijab.

    Money your too nice, I can't bleive that you even paid for their drinks. It is haram to pay, buy or sell qamro. You should repent to Allah(swa) and make duaa for your cousins that Allah shows them the right path. As for your little you should never allow her to stay with these kind of people cause they can influence easily.

     

    ps

    Lazie G please keep your rubbish comments to yourself. You just know how to judge people, the brother can post what he wants, is not like you run this forum.
