November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

As usual, the Hadith opinion on Jinn contains tons of exaggerations, NOTHING of which is warranted by the Noble Quran. 
 
Many Hadith followers seriously believe that Jinn can "possesses" humans by getting inside their bodies and the method of getting it out is by beating that person.  This is similar to the awful practices of exorcism.  It's utter nonsense and hugely sinful, no different from pagan customs in pre-Islamic Arabia.  Because of such ideas, Ahadith portray the acts of Jinn as evil, whereas the Quran conveys the message that Jinn can be good or bad just like humans.
 
Abdullah ibn Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said to his father: ‘Some people say that a Jinn cannot get into a human being’. His father replied: ‘O son! They do not tell the truth.   I'm sure there are many such narrations in Hadith, though I cannot recall them now. 
 
There is also another ridiculous concept among Hadith followers according to which a Jinn can get inside a human being and start beating him or her.  To support this false idea, some translators have mis-translated Verse 2:275 of Surah Al-Baqah to make it compatible with the claim that Jinn can get inside humans and start beating them.

"Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch."  2:275.

The above is the correct translation of Verse 2:275.

But the incorrect translation writes:
 
Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {Those who eat Ribâ (usury) will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaitân (Satan) leading him to insanity. …} [2: 275].

Thus, in this wrong translation, the word "beaten" replaces the correct word "prostrated."

Furthermore, the notoriously wrong tafsir writer, Ibn Kathir, claims that epilepsy is caused when Shaitan gets inside a person and beats them.  Quoting Ibn Kathir "One cannot stand except in the state which we may see of an epileptic one who is beaten by Satan, i.e. to stand in a shocking manner." Also, Al-Qurtubi, who is another crazy tafsir writer, incorrectly supports Ibn Kathir and subsequently also supports the wrong translation of Verse 2:275 by saying "Such a verse refutes the opinion of those who deny epilepsy by Jinn."

According to the Hadith books, Jinn have three characteristics - some have wings and can fly, some look like snakes or are embodied in snakes, and some travel from place to place.   Apparently, such ideas have been grabbed by Hadith writers from pre-Islamic customs.  During the pre-Islamic era the pagans were often afraid of Jinn and some sought help from Jinn.  The notion of Satan and other jinn being represented by snakes has perhaps been taken from Christianity.  For this reason, the medieval artist, Rubens, drew the picture of Adam and Eve near the forbidden tree with a snake coiled in its branch.

Ibn Taymiyah (another hoax writer) said in his book al-Fatawa:  "Jinn may appear in the form of human beings and animals.

There is also a story that says Shaitan (who is also from the family of Jinn), came in the form of an old man during the battle of Badr.  He tried to uplift the morals of the kafir fighters but when he saw the army of the angels descending to assist the Muslims, he could not bear the sight of them and ran away.  The Noble Quran does say that Allah sent angels to help the believers during battle, but there is no mention of Satan coming in the form of an old man to help the kafirs.  To the contrary, the Quran makes it very clear that Satan and his tribe tempt people invisibly so that they can see humans but humans cannot see them.  And the devils only try to tempt those humans who have a weak or no faith and are misugided.  This is very much the message of the Noble Quran. 
 
"Lo! he seeth you, he and his tribe, from whence ye see him not. Lo! We have made the devils protecting friends for those who believe not."  7:27

Gosh!  I didn't know that these Hadithers had also mis-interpreted Verse 2:275.  This verse is so simple and everyone knows that the term "whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch." refers to the people who take usury and thus become friends of the devil or satan.   I am sure it's that idiot Ibn Kathir's hilariously stupid idea on epilepsy that's given the need to the Hadithists to misinterpret Verse 2:275 to make it compatible with Ibn Kathir's madness and thus misguide humanity.  May Allah drown them in the flames of Hellfire.
