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.

Assalam alaikum
I would like to know why Muslims perform circumcision and shave their pubic hair? Is there any mention of it in the Holy Quraan and if not why are we doing this?I would like to have any reference regarding these practices for my knowledge.
Jazakum Allah Khair

Walaikum As-Salaam brother Abbottonian.   Male circumcision and shaving (or cutting) public hair are not stated in the Quran.  But it's a well known fact that both these practices do promote physical hygiene and cleanliness.  Since the Quran highlights the importance of cleanliness, therefore we can assume that male circumcision and shaving/cutting of public hair are acceptable practices for Muslims to adhere to. "Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness."  (2:222).

At the same time, the emphasis on such physical aspects like circumcision and removing/cutting public hair should be balanced. These are positive gestures to adhere to them but they don't have any direct bearing on Faith.  In other words, it's good and preferable for a man to be circumcised but it would be wrong to say that a man cannot be Muslim if he is uncircumcised. 

This view is only for male circumcision.  As for female circumcision, it is completely unacceptable and wrong because it has nothing to do with cleanliness.  It's a social practice among some circles of African women only to enhance sexual pleasure.  Such ideas are absolutely wrong and misguided.

We've already had a long discussion on the topic of male circumcision with another brother who now runs Quranic Path.  Our stance on male circumcision is to say that it's not a religious obligation.  However it does promote cleanliness and therefor, from the medical view point it's definitely recommendable.   

It should also be noted that just as there is no great need to force the practice of circumcision,  similarly there is also no need to forcibly stop circumcision as many secular fanatics are prone to doing.  Secularists & Free Minders wrongly consider male circumcision to be a religious issue because it got introduced through the altered bibles.  As Muslims we are not concerned with that.  However, on the issue of male circumcision the fact remains from the medical perspective it has been proven many times to be health friendly and helping to maintain cleanliness with no negative effects.  Hence it's certainly a positive step.

You can check our discussions at the following links.  You will observe that the brother from Quranic Path vehemently (rather zealously) against circumcision, almost obsessed with the idea of banning it to the extent that we had to finally lock the topic because we do not have such extremes of ideas.  It's a personal decision of every individual.
