asalam'u alaykun dear sister,
I am writing to you in regards to a question that I was hoping you may answer but has remained unanswered in your archive 3 since 23-07-02 titled THE KHALIFA. Being one who frequents your site often I am well aware that you in your most worthy opinion are opposed to answering questions of a political nature,and in this I can support your view 100% due to obvious misunderstandings and implications it can create especially in light of the current Islamic situation world wide.
But dear sister this is an Islamic question first and foremost.Isnt politics something Allah (saw) has made an issue answerable in the Quran? Our Scholars deem the Quran a text that answers any question that is humanly imaginable. So how, how dear sister can we with total conviction in our hearts avoid certain issues in the Quran whilst at the same time acknowledging others as if Allahs book was some sort of menu in a restaurant eating from within it as we will..........Please answer me soon.....!

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

You can look at this quetion board and take notice to a few things. The average Muslim doesnt know how to properly perform salat. The average Muslim doesnt know how to properly perform Wudhu. The average Muslim doesnt knwo what Shirk is. The average Muslim doesnt know what Bidah is. The average Muslim doesnt know the importance of the Sunnah. The average Muslim doesnt know how to properly bathe. The average Muslim doesnt know the states of impurity. And the list goes on and on and on.

It seems to me, from my encounter with hundreds of Muslims a day, that we need to focuss on learning about our way of life. Learning how to properly perform the acts of worship incumbent upon us instead of wasting our time debating about issues that have nothing to do with taking us to paradise.

If I seem cruel or wrong to you because I believe the need is to educate the Muslims about their way of life instead of debating with them..then there is nothing i can do for you.

There are hundreds of websites on the internet that focuss on debating politics and speaking without knowledge. There are also hundreds of chat rooms that indulge in and allow this too such as yahoo and paltalk. Why is it so important for you to try to get me to indulge in this fitnah? Arent those other hundreds of places enough for you???

We are AlQuran Wa Sunnah Islamic VoiceChat Site of Learning... and as such we stand behind our name. Our mission is to educate the Muslims of the basics of Islam in accordance to the Quran and Sunnah from the understaning of the Sahabah. We are not here to debate, confuse or speak without knowledge...there are enough other sites on the internet that do a great job of that.

If it really bothers you so much that i refuse to indulge your desires, reflect on this:

A man came to al-Hasan (al-Basree) and said, "I wish to debate with you about the Religion." Al-Hasan replied, "I know my Religion. If you have lost your Religion go out and look for it." [Reported by al-Aajurree in ash-Sharee`ah (p. 57), al-Laalikaa'ee in as-Sunnah (no. 215) and Ibn Battah (no. 586) and it is saheeh.] "

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
