Acquiring knowledge

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wassalam) said:

 "Acquiring knowledge is compulsory for every Muslim. (At-Tabarani)

This narration applies equally to men and women. "Knowledge" in this context refers primarily to knowledge of the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah as no Muslim should be ignorant of his or her Faith, but it also covers other areas of general education, which can contribute to the welfare of civilization.

Exept graveyard

Rasulullah sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said:

 "All the earth is a mosque apart from the graveyards and bathrooms." (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 317)

قول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : " الأرض كلها مسجد إلا المقبرة والحمام

 Points learned from Hadith :

1: Praying in graveyard is not allowed exept salatul-Janaza .
2: Two places metioned in this Hadith where pray is not allowed .
There are other Hadith where few other places are metioned .

"The Prophet prohibited Salat from being performed in seven places: the dung heap, the slaughtering area, the graveyard, the commonly used road, the wash area, in the area that camels rest at, and above the Ka'bah. [Tirmidi]

 

Characteristic features of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)

Al-Bara' reported: Never did I see anyone more handsome than Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) in the red mantle. His hair had been hanging down on the shoulders and his shoulders were very broad, and he was neither very tall nor short-statured.

[Sahih Muslim,Volume 004, Book 056, Hadith Number 751]

Ahlus-Sunnah VS Ahlul-Bid'ah

Between ahlus sunnah wal jamaah and ahlu bidah is the following three issues.

1.The speech of Allah is real with letters, words and sound the attribute of speech is dhatiyyah always present with Allah, however Allah speaks when he wills, to whom he wills so for this reason Allahs speech is also fi'liyyah (i.e. any action connected to Allahs will, which he does whenever he wills).
2. The believers... seeing Allah in the hereafter, with real sight.
3. Allahs istawaa (raising over) his throne in a way that befits Allah which is unlike the creations rasing over something and Allahs attribute of Uloo (Loftiness and Ascendancy of Allah), which his nothing like any of the creations loftiness or ascendancy (i.e. a birds loftiness or ascendancy).

Ahlu bidah in general deny these three matters or claim they affirm them but they do this in a way that is opposite to how Ahlus Sunnah understand these three issues based on the quran, authentic sunnah and understanding of the salaf us saalih.

Desire for sin

''The bigger desire you have for a sin, the greater your imaan is if you leave it.'' -

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen rahimuhullah''

Allah made Muhammad (alalyhi salatul salaam) the last of the Messengers – [sending him as] as:

2) Nadheer (warner of the punishment for those who disobey Allah) and
3) Daa’ee (caller) to Allah by His permission, as well as
4) Siraaj Muneer (lighted lamp) [lighting up the road].

Jihad with Sword and Toungue

The Messenger of Allah said: ''The believer wages Jihad with his sword and with his tongue, By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, it is as if you are attacking them with arrows.''    [Ahmed]
