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.

 salamem  everyone.


With reference to our fruitful discussion on the importance of Qaza salat, prohibition of Qaza salat among certain circles of traditionalists may have arisen from a confusion concerning the meaning of that term.  In connection to salat, Qaza means what's due upon you.  But in Hadith the word Qaza means to shave a part of your head and leave the other part.  Sounds strange but it isn't unusual to find Hadith full of strange ideas.  And according to Hadith, shaving part of your head is not allowed.  So it's possible that some Hadith followers have mixed up Qaza prayers with the very different idea expressed in the Hadith literature and have thus started claiming that Qaza prayer is not allowed.   I quote a Hadith below with the word Qaza referring to shaving of head.

Nafi’ reports that he heard Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) say: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) forbidding the practice of Qaz’a”. Ubaid Allah said: “I inquired, what is Qaz’a? So he said: “When the head of a child is shaved and hair is left here and there, and Ubaid Allah pointed towards his forelock and the sides of his head. (Sahih al-Bukhari, No. 5576).

Needless to say, there is NO such concept in the Noble Quran and thus rest assured, the Prophet (pbuh) never said any such senseless thing.

Walaikum Salam br. TS .... 

Good grief!   From where did Hadith get this interpretation of the word "Qaza?"  Shaving of a child's head as alluded in that narration is commonly known as "Aqiqah" (عقيقة), is it not?  Of course, aqiqah is also not in the Quran.  It's just an optional social tradition, a celebration on the birth of a child with dinner and that occasion is supposed to be the event of the child's first haircut in which the hair is usually shaven completely.  The entire Muslim world calls it Aqiqah, but hadith calls it Qaza, huh?   

You have a valid point here brother TS.  It could be a reason why some hadithists object to Qaza salat, an outcome of a needless confusion started by hadith.

Exactly sister Ruhi.  The term generally used for the occasion when an infant's head is shaven is Aqiqah; and yes it's just a social event.  I came across this hadith just a few days ago.  Whether or not the hadithists connect it with Qaza salat (which itself as an idea doesn't make sense), this hadith on its own is totally absurd.
