Jinn & Human Sickness

The subject of the jinn is one which is of interest to many people. Folk stories abound, and many superstitious practices have arisen in Muslim cultures with regard to protection against the jinn. Many myths surround the ideas of the evil eye and envy, and there are many strange notions surrounding illnesses such as epilepsy and mental illness, which are often thought of as being caused by the jinn.

This book cuts through all the confusion and identifies correct Islamic teachings on all these subjects. The jinn are real and they can indeed harm humans, but this book will teach you how to protect yourself in the manner taught by the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Break free from fear, superstition and fairy stories, and familiarize yourself with the teachings of Islam on these important aspects of spirituality which the author presents here, drawing on the texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah and the writings of the respected scholars of Islam.

Question:

I was womndering if it is true that there is no evidence that there is no trace of a Qu'ran being written in the 7 th century


Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

This is a false and incorrect statement made by those who try to find faults with Islam so as to put people off this religion. It is sufficient to know that Allaah has guaranteed to preserve the Qur'aan, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

"Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'aan) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption)." [al-Hijr 15:9]

Moreover, the fact that the transmission of the Qur'aan by memory and in writing was mutawaatir _ narrated by groups to groups [to such an extent that so many people could not conceivably have agreed upon a lie] _ is well known to anyone who has the slightest acquaintance with Islamic knowledge, especially knowledge of recitations and reciters.

There are still many people nowadays who have learned the Qur'aan orally, with isnaads directly going back to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

One of the miracles of Allaah's protection of the Qur'aan is the fact that those who try to tamper with it are always found out.

The point is, everything that was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was written down in front of him straight away, and some of the Sahaabah had masaahif (written copies of the Qur'aan). After the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), the first khaleefah, Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with him) gathered the Qur'aan in written and kept it. Then the third khaleefah, `Uthmaan ibn `Affaan (may Allaah be pleased with him) compiled it in mus-hafs that were based on the mus-haf compiled by Abu Bakr, in addition to what had been memorized.

When we realize that the Qur'aan was written down and compiled by the Sahaabah, and `Uthmaan sent copies of the Mus-haf during his reign to all the main centres of Islam, so that it would be a reference for them, and there were no disputes concerning them, then how can we say that there is no written trace of the Qur'aan in the seventh century? Moreover, there are several ancient manuscripts of the Qur'aan in libraries and museums which bear visible testimony to the fact that nothing has been changed in the Book of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"And verily, it is an honourable wellfortified respected Book (because it is Allaah's Speech, and He has protected it from corruption). Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it, (it is) sent down by the AllWise, Worthy of all praise (Allaah)."

[Fussilat 41:41-42]

And Allaah knows best.

Synopses & Reviews

This book presents 282 tables of Classical and Modern Arabic Verbs. These fully conjugated tables are used as paradigms for other verbs. Each table represents a very clear and typical example of a particular type of verb. For example, kataba - yaktubu (written in Arabic in the boo) is characterised by its perfect having Fatha as the vowel of its second radical and its imperfect having Damma as the vowel of the second radical. This verb is a sound simple triliteral verb and it is given in this book as a paradigm for any sound simple triliteral verb whose perfect is distinguished by Fatha as the vowel of its second radical and Damma as the vowel of its imperfect's second radical.

In additon to showing the active and passive voices of verbs, the tables also give the roots, the active and passive participles and the verbal Nouns of both the simple and derived forms of classical and modern Arabic verbs.

The book is suitable for students and scholars of all ages. Older students can use it unaided to conjugate any Arabic verb found in dictionaries. Teachers, researchers and scholars of Arabic Language and Literature can use it as a quick reference guide to conjugate verbs and to provide drills for their younger students.

Islam and Muslims: Ruling on reading Qur'aan [Qur'an, Quran] in a house where there is a dog

Question:

What is the ruling on reading Qur'aan in a house where there is a dog?


Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

There is nothing wrong with that, but you have to get the dog out of the house and not keep it inside, unless it is for one of three reasons, namely hunting, farming or herding livestock. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever keeps a dog, unless it is a dog for hunting, herding or farming, his reward will decrease by two qiraats (i.e., a large amount) every day." (Agreed upon).

And Allaah is the Source of strength.
