Hierarchy/ Organization
wa alaykum,
ReplyDeletei'm not sure if you a mussie or not but just a few pointers as i got directed to your site and read a wee bit:
- islamic clothing does not HAVE to be black. Allah made all the colours in the world and they can be any colour but yes they have to cover the body so masha'allah for that,
- Muhammad did not "find" islam. Islam has always existed by Allah making it so, Muhammad was the final prophet who re-established it.
- there are only TWO religious holidays (in islam) - the two Eid's - Eid Ul Fitr (at the end of Ramadan) and Eid al Adha (at the end of Hajj).
- the 3 holy books are the Quran, the torah (in its original form) and the gospel (in its original form). Of these, only the Quran exists today in its original form. I don't even know what this Nahjul Balagha you mentioned. But we sure don't take from that.
hope that's ok just to clarify some points, not sure where your info's from but hope that helps.
