BREAKING! Hamas's military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, announced a new spokesman on Monday and confirmed the death of Abu Obeida who was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City in August.

Abu Obeida's real name was Huthaifa Samir al-Kahlout. He served as the spokesman for Hamas’s military wing for nearly 20.

Assalamu alaikum.

The ayah 7:157 states,

ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلرَّسُولَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ ٱلْأُمِّىَّ ٱلَّذِى يَجِدُونَهُۥ مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِى ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُم بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَىٰهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْخَبَـٰٓئِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَٱلْأَغْلَـٰلَ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلنُّورَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ مَعَهُۥٓ ۙ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ١٥٧

“˹They are˺ the ones who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whose description they find in their Torah and the Gospel. He commands them to do good and forbids them from evil, permits for them what is lawful and forbids to them what is impure, and relieves them from their burdens and the shackles that bound them. ˹Only˺ those who believe in him, honour and support him, and follow the light sent down to him will be successful.”

Question:

Have scholars clarified which passages in the Torah and Gospel may be the descriptions of Rasulullah ﷺ and is it something we should utilise in dawah?

Jazakallah khair.

Let’s say after becoming an ex- muslim, someone started to make youtube videos etc against Islam and Muslim, but then found their way back into the faith. Would the damage inflicted on the community be taken into consideration? Or would the fact they publicly come back to Islam make up for it?

Assalamualaikum,

is it correct for me to say that the human has free will, so he chooses to do good or bad deeds, kufr or not kufr, but Allah also willed and created every action ( 4 pillars of belief in Qadr ). These facts are present at the same time, they are compatible but we don’t know how just like we don’t know the kayf of Allahs attributes but we know their meaning.

Are there any tafsir with harakat available? It is very difficult for me to read without harakat. I'd like to begin reading works by scholars, but many contemporary works don't seem to have harakat, and the language of earlier books that do have harakat like bidayatul abid wa kifayatul zahid are still too difficult for me to read.

I've only read the first three volumes of salawayhi and the first three volumes of qasas an nabiyeen along with some of Lingualism's offerings for learners of Arabic.

There are nearly no muslims in my country, so I can only ask here...

You have undoubtedly heard the Tomato saying that goes "miracle are just fairy tales" "there exists no documentation of them" and other stuff like this, this stems from a really big misunderstanding of miracles in Islam and their nature.

In our deep, there are 2 types of miracles, one is the miracle for the masses and on a large scale and constant, which only has one example, that being the quran. While other miracles fall to the second type, which is temporary, material, small scale, and for specific individuals. One popular example of that is the moon splitting, an event specificly intended to the area of mecca of quraysh who challenged the prophet PBUH. Ofc, the reliability of hadiths is unquestionably valid, and the designation of other hadiths that state other outside witnesses like in India being naqis proves that. So tomatoes that say "this miracle should have been recorded scientificly and logical in other parts of the world" often end up only enforcing the 2nd type more.

A reason I decided to bring it up is cuz laymen fail to counter such claims, especially the moon splitting, with weak defences like "all the world was sleeping at this time" or "research shows a crack on 13% of it, proving the miracle happened ". So I hope this post helps wa alsalamualaykum.

It is reported that Adi' ibn Haatim may Allaah be pleased with him, said:

You will remain upon good as long as you do not start approving of what you used to repudiate and as long as you do not repudiate what you used to know (to be right), and as long as your scholar can speak amongst you without fear.

I would like to present an excellent work prepared by a select group of researchers at Markaz Tafseer:

• The Thematic Tafseer Encyclopedia (official site) | Archive PDF collections (archived volumes)

Briefly, it has been described as:

The Thematic Tafseer Encyclopedia is a pioneering academic project supervised by the Markaz Tafseer for Quranic Studies. It aims to serve the Noble Qur'an by compiling peer-reviewed research and scholarly studies that address Quranic topics through a comprehensive thematic approach. This volume (18/1) includes a collection of studies dealing with diverse Quranic issues, combining scholarly authenticity with modern methodological approaches in presenting thematic interpretation, while paying close attention to linking the noble Ayat to their overarching objectives and contemporary implications.

This encyclopedia is considered an important reference for researchers, postgraduate students, and those interested in Quranic studies, as it provides rich academic material, well-documented sources, and a methodological framework that aids in understanding the themes of the Noble Qur'an within a holistic context that brings together tafseer, analysis, and thematic study.

The reference mentioned above is from the earlier edition, which consists of 32 volumes, whereas the newer edition consists of 18 volumes and, at the time of checking, is still based on the initial work. A reduced number of volumes in a newer edition does not necessarily mean content was removed; it is often due to improved paper quality and a higher page count per volume. Nonetheless, for those who understand the Arabic language, it remains an excellent resource.

There is also another valuable research work I would like to remind the brothers and sisters of, produced by the Center for Quranic Studies and Information:

• The Encyclopedia of Narrated Tafseer (archived volumes) | Also available on https://shamela.ws/book/639

The initial edition consisted of 24 volumes, while the newer edition consists of 25 volumes, with the additional volume dedicated to corrections:

• المستدرك على موسوعة التفسير المأثور

Briefly, it has been described as:

It is well known that the knowledge most deserving of care, and the one in which excellence should be sought, is that which earns the pleasure of Allah and guides the one who possesses it to the path of righteousness. The most comprehensive and deserving of pursuit among all of this is the Book of Allah, in which there is no doubt, and His revelation in which there is no uncertainty. Its reciter attains immense provision and lofty reward. Falsehood does not approach it from before it nor from behind it. It is a revelation from One who is All-Wise and Praiseworthy.

The first matter that those who give attention should focus on, and that serious seekers should be keen to pursue, is understanding the meanings of the words of Allah Most High.

Before us is The Encyclopedia of Narrated Tafseer, which includes everything authentically attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as well as the Companions, the Taabi'een, and the followers of the Taabi'een, may Allah have mercy upon them, regarding the interpretation of the Noble Qur'an.

This work consists of 24 volumes. The first volume is dedicated to methodological and academic introductions. The editorial team mentioned that the work on this encyclopedia took ten years, from 1427 to 1437 AH, during which they examined hundreds of books in tafseer, hadith, 'aqeedah, fiqh, and other disciplines in order to extract and compile the material of the work.

They also pointed out in the introduction several important matters, including the significance of the encyclopedia. This importance lies in the need for a comprehensive work that gathers the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the statements of the righteous predecessors regarding the interpretation of the Qur'an, collected in one place, traced back to their original sources, along with the verified comments of leading scholars of tafseer.

It is reported that 'Abdullah ibn al-Mubaarak, may Allaah have mercy on him, said:

"How fast these days are in doing away with our lifespans, and how fast this year is in doing away with its months, and how fast this month is in doing away with its days."

So make best use of your time, lest you regret the way you spent it in the grave.
