Sunna simply means "Tradition," there are NO "rulings" or "judgements" in it. Shari'a though is Islamic Jurisprudence. Again, no educated Muslim would ever dare to question Hanifa, Shafi'i or Tamiyyah on Sunna.Raki Ben Ami (pseudonym)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10401695381990669137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665291476400850140.post-72664080711462780042011-08-25T06:14:58.506-07:002011-08-25T06:14:58.506-07:00Wrong on everything. "al Masjid al Akhsa"...Wrong on everything. "al Masjid al Akhsa" simply means, "The Mosque in the Farthest Place." The Arabic name for Jerusalem is "Yerusala'am," though most call it, "al Quds," neither of which are found in the Qur'an. In fact, the Qur'an refers to Judea, the land in which Jerusalem sits, as "The Closest Land" in Sura 30. How could "The Mosque of the Farthest Place" be located in "The Closest Land?"<br /><br />Sura 17 refers to the "Night Journey." Muhammad lay down to sleep. During the night people noticed he was missing from the house and began searching for him outside. Near daybreak they finally found him, wandering outside. They asked him where he had been and he told them he had been to "al Masjid al Akhsa." Asked to elaborate Muhammad told them that the Angel Gabriel had summoned him and told him to come with him. Gabriel brought a creature with the body of a mule, the face of a woman, and wings called "al Buraq." He told Muhammad to get on the creature and away they flew, landing at "al Masjid al Akhsa." The Sura was revealed in 620. To further bang home the point, no mosque existed outside al Hejaz (the area in what is now Saudi Arabia where Muhammad spent his life) for another 11 years. The "Masjid" couldn't have been outside of al Hejaz. In fact, there was a mosque halfway between Mecca and the coast that carried THAT name. Muhammad would pray there on trips to the ports while managing Khadijah's buisness though at that time it was still a pagan temple.<br /><br />So why do Muslims find Jerusalem holy? In 680 the Ummayyad Dynasty controlled the Caliphate. Based in Damascus it was the first Caliphate outside of al Hejaz. That year, 680, a rebellion in al Hejaz closed off al Hejaz to Muslims outside of the Hejaz. The Ummayyad Caliph feared the ramifications of not controlling al Haj and so they sought an alternative. They built the "Dome of the Rock," the gold covered masjid that sits atop the Temple Mount, across the plaza from the Mosque of 'Umar. The Dome of the Rock's exterior is covered with Qur'an Sura and guess what? 0sura 17 is not one of them. <br /><br />Muslims didn't begin referring to Jerusalem as the location of "Masjid al Akhsa" until the 8th Century and it wasn't ingrained until the 11th Century when they needed a strong rationale to battle the Crusaders for the city. It was then that the "Mosque of 'Umar" became "al Masjid al Akhsa." It is then that the first inscriptions were made in Jerusalem stating that.<br /><br />The Qur'an never mentions Jerusalem even once.<br /><br />As for all 4 Schools of Shari'a saying that IF their judgements or rulings CONTRADICT the Qur'an, their rulings or judgements should be ignored...Do you even understand what "contradiction" means? If the Qur'an says, "Do NOT view the world through Duwar," and the 4 Schools say, "Duwar is fine," then THAT ruling or judgement IS a contradiction. However you claim that Duwar isn't mentioned even once in the Qur'an, remember? If it isn't mentioned in the Qur'an in any capacity, where is the "contradiction?" The Qur'an doesn't mention automobiles and yet I am sure you don't walk everywhere you go. <br /><br />In all 4 of your comments you have been wrong on every single point of contention. Perhaps it is time to admit that you are mistaken.Raki Ben Ami (pseudonym)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10401695381990669137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665291476400850140.post-5310021581768101442011-08-24T04:03:07.421-07:002011-08-24T04:03:07.421-07:00Jerusalem? FYI, we call it Masjid Al-Aqsa, and it ...Jerusalem? FYI, we call it Masjid Al-Aqsa, and it is in the Qur'aan(see 17:1).<br /><br />Now, your basis are the Imaams after failing to prove that the "duwar" are found in the Qur'an and Sahih Ahadith. Please allow me to tell you that the four Imaams are unanimously agreed that if their opinions contradict the Qur'an and Sunnah, we should reject them. For example, Abu Haneefah was quoted saying: "If I have made a ruling which contradicts Allah's book or the Messenger's hadith, reject my ruling". And the others says the almost the same. In fact, students of Abu Haneefah, contradicted some of their teacher's rulings.<br /><br />Therefore, to say that "No educated Muslim would ever question ibn Tammiyah[Taymiyyah], Abu Hanifa, or Shafi'i on Sunna" is a clear show of ignorance about Islamic history and jurisprudence.<br /><br />If you cannot quote directly from The Qur'an or from any Sahih Ahadith about the "duwar", then please don't just waste your time.<br /><br />Thank you again, brother.Heshamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681696501918998091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665291476400850140.post-69897038458100741132011-08-22T03:31:50.602-07:002011-08-22T03:31:50.602-07:00Wikipedia? You have got to be kidding me. At least...Wikipedia? You have got to be kidding me. At least I now know you are a Western convert. No educated Muslim would ever question ibn Tammiyah, Abu Hanifa, or Shafi'i on Sunna. But let us discuss your view. In your own words, if it isn't in al Qur'an, it isn't acceptable, to paraphrase. How many times is the word "Jerusalem" found in the Qur'an? I don't know what Wiki will tell you so let me cut to the chase and tell you myself. The Qu'ran does not mention Jerusalem even a single time.<br /><br />Yet every Muslim on the planet considers Jerusalem to be Islam's third holiesT city after Mecca and al Medina. How ia Jerusalem then deemed holy? <br /><br />Duwar, the concept you are disputing, is absolutely Sunna and I gave you more than a couple of references. That Wiki tells you something means absolutely nothing. It is 100% consumer generated content with 100% consumer re-editing at will. I could, if I so desired, go to the Wiki page you used and re-edit to reflect my own stance. It is as worthless as any other entirely subjective musing. This is why Wiki itself advises its readership NOT to rely on information found therein as factual.Raki Ben Ami (pseudonym)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10401695381990669137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665291476400850140.post-4264113056366766272011-08-21T16:29:48.662-07:002011-08-21T16:29:48.662-07:001. So Dar Al-Harb is not found in the Qur'aan....1. So Dar Al-Harb is not found in the Qur'aan. I say again: NOT IN THE QUR'AAN.<br /><br />2. "Hadith" about Dar Al-Harb?<br />Wikipedia:<br />"The notions of "houses" or "divisions" of the world in Islam such as Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb does not appear in the Qur'an or the Hadith."<br /><br />"'In Reliance of the Traveller', point w43.2, a hadith is referred to containing the exact word Dar al-Harb. SCHOLARS have, nevertheless, DISAGREED on its reliability."<br /><br />SO THERE IS NO AUTHENTIC (SAHIH) HADITH ABOUT THE TWO "DAR".<br /><br />3. Opinions of any Madh-hab without any basis in Qur'aan or in the Sunnah are TRASH.<br /><br />In short, with due respect, your claim is truly "ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT".<br /><br />Thank you very much.

Abu Hanifa? ibn Tammiyah? Shafi'I? They all expound the concept of "Duwar," or "Houses" which is how the two spheres are also conceptualised, "House of Islam," "House of War." Islam allows no middle ground but does allow and even prescribe Dissemblance to non-Muslims as honourable. Are you dissembling or are you like most Muslims who simply lack even a basic Islamic education above and beyomnd Qur'an Recitation?Raki Ben Ami (pseudonym)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10401695381990669137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665291476400850140.post-56008518526068916372011-08-16T23:34:55.428-07:002011-08-16T23:34:55.428-07:00Please give us reference from the Qur'aan or f...Please give us reference from the Qur'aan or from any sahih Hadith that the world in Islam is divided into two: Dar Al-harb and Dar Al-Islam.
