There is a journey embarked upon by the believer that is full of blessing and reward. Everyone should seek to make this journey at every opportunity. Unfortunately, not everyone realizes the special qualities and characteristics of this journey. W would like to discuss this journey, according to the Qur'aan and Sunnah as it was understood by our Righteous Predecessors (the Sahaabah, those first three generations and the Scholars of this Ummah).

Sejarah dan fakta mengenai kota Jerusalem sebahagiannya bersumberkan fakta orang Yahudi yang kemungkinan dipalsukan. Oleh yang demikian, umat Islam hendaklah menerima sebagai sahih fakta yang jelas dari ajaran Islam. Nasihat yang tepat ialah nasihat Rasulullah s.a.w. kepada Saidina Umar al-Khattab menerusi hadis baginda yang bermaksud: Dari Jabir (radiallahuanhu) dari Nabi s.a.w. mengenai peristiwa ketika Umar datang menghadap baginda s.a.w. lalu berkata bermaksud: Ya Rasulullah kami ada mendengar cerita dan nasihat pengajaran yang menarik hati dari orang-orang Yahudi maka bagaimana fikiran Tuan? Bolehkah kami menulis sebahagian daripadanya? Baginda s.a.w. bersabda bermaksud: Adakah kamu merasa ragu-ragu dan serba salah dalam ajaran agama kamu sebagaimana kaum Yahudi dan Nasrani yang telah ragu-ragu dan meraba-raba dalam ajaran agama mereka? Demi sesungguhnya aku telah membawa kepada kamu agama Islam dengan keadaannya yang jelas nyata dan bersih suci dari sebarang perkara syirik dan penyelewengan. Dan kalaulah Nabi Musa masih hidup lagi sudah tentu tidak ada jalan lain baginya selain daripada menurutku. Diriwayatkan oleh Imam Ahmad Hambali dan Baihaqi. History and facts about the city of Jerusalem the Jews partly sourced facts which may be falsified . Therefore, Muslims must accept as authentic facts apparent from the teachings of Islam . The right advice is advice Messenger to 'Umar al - Khattab through his hadith which means : Jabir ( radiallahuanhu ) of the Prophet about the incident when Umar came to the king 's said means: O Messenger of Allah we have heard the stories and lessons to impress advice from Jews then how mind sir? Can we write a part? He s.a.w. said means: Do you feel hesitant and awkward in the teachings of your religion as the Jews and Christians who were in doubt and grope in the teachings of their religion ? Verily I have brought to you the religion of Islam with the situation in a clear and pure of any polytheism and fraud matters . And if the Prophet Moses was still alive of course there is no other way for him apart from following me . Narrated by Imam Ahmad Hambali and Sufism .
Why do we not see Muslim women heading to a mosque for prayers on Fridays? Why don't they participate in funeral prayers in the Indian subcontinent? Men and women pray at al-Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. They pray in Al Masjid al Nabavi in Medina. Why cannot they pray in their neighbourhood mosques in India? Islam does not discriminate between men and women. The Quran promises as much reward for a roza (fast), a Hajj or an act of charity for a woman as a man. At nearly 60 places, it asks both men and women to establish prayer, as opposed to merely offering prayer. Establishing prayer, scholars agree, is done through congregation. Men do it by praying in mosques. But what about women? They are denied the right to enter mosques across the Indian subcontinent. Women in Masjid: A Quest for Justice aims to give voice to those women who have been denied their due by our patriarchal society. It tells the reader that Prophet Muhammad clearly permitted women to enter a mosque. It is a permission well respected in mosques across West Asia, Europe and America. Yet, in an overwhelming majority of mosques across India, women are virtually barred from entry. No explicit ban, just a tacit one. Drawing its arguments from the Quran and Hadiths, the book exposes the hypocrisy of men who deny women their right to pray in mosques in the name of religion, thus revealing entrenched patriarchal beliefs masquerading as faith. It also tells the stories of those brave women who are fighting for their space in mosques across the world. From Nizamuddin and Haji Ali Dargah to mosques in lanes and bylanes of India, the fight is on. Women in Masjid is all about righting a historical wrong.
