Why do Muslims sit when they are drinking?
Muslims can't drink alcohol because it is against the religion. Allah stated, "O you who believe! Intoxicants and gambling... Is an abomination of Satan's handiwork. So, avoid the abomination in order that you be successful."
For many reasons. Most important of them is that it is an explicit God command; in Quran and per prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teachings; for not drinking alcohols. It is forbidden in all God religions. It is proved also that drinking alcohol is harmful to health and mind and self control.
Muslims don't drink alcohol because it is "haram", i.e. forbidden in Islam. For one, it harms the body. Secondly, it causes one to lose control of oneself and possibly do things they wouldn't normally do, such as rape, murder, etc. That is why Muslims don't drink alcohol.
Muslims are not allowed to drink as it intoxicates the mind and leaves them in no control of their own body.
Which is the middle verse in the Quran?
The three shortest verses are Taahaa (T, H) (first verse in chapter 20), Yaaseen (Y, S) (first verse in chapter 36) and Haameem (H, M) (this verse (i.e., HaaMeem) is the first verse of 6 different chapters in the Qur'an). Each of the three verses is of only two Arabic letters.
of course a Muslim can practice Reiki. Reiki is a method to connect with Light.
Allah is light.
Reiki gives us good fruits, like inner peace, mental health, healing, reducing pain, all those are good things, so its impossible reiki is not coming from Allah. Because all the good things, all the good fruits come from Allah.

Mohammed was a Christian leader?
Muhammed was not a Christian. His religion has many similarities with some forms of Gnostic Christianity. Apparently he was familiar with that heresy. He was also familiar with some Jewish teaching. Still, he did his own thing.
What are prophet Yusuf miracles?
Yusuf is also one of the Prophets of Allah . He is believed to be the most beautiful man that ever lived on the face of the earth . No other man or women either born before or after him had or shall ever have beauty such as his . He was very wise and also had the ability to tell what a dream meant . He had seven step brothers and Yusuf was loved the most by their father , his brothers out of jealousy threw him in an empty well away from home and told their father that Yusuf was eaten by a wolf . Prophet Yusuf was rescued by nowmads who took him to Eygpt . There he helped the troubled king who for a long time had the same dream . Every night he dreamt of dying cows and his finest men could not give him a satisfying answer . Prophet Yousuf told the king that it was a sign that his people will have to face drought and if he saves the grains in a store house they will have nothing to worry about . And so it was done and when the day came when there was nothing left in the fields because of the dry weather , they used the stored grains . Yousuf became the favourite of the king and went back to his father and forgave his brothers who repented for their thoughless act . This is what we Muslims believe in . Answer: Yusuf is the Arabic for "Joseph". He is the same Prophet Joseph mentioned in the Bible. The one who went into Egypt. The story written above is just about completely correct; but the one who wrote it did not explain that he is called "Joseph" by English speakers. Peace be upon him and upon all the Prophets.

Muhammad was not known for traveling. He spent the vast majority of his life in what is now Saudi Arabia (although at that time, it was controlled by a number of independent city states and nomadic tribes).

Who was the Prophet before Muhammad?
Muhammad pbu ,before the calling ,was a very respectful man in Mekka & people used to call him " the sincere , the honest" , many of them were used to put precious things as a charge with him for his famous good morals, even before his prophecy he never drank wine, he never prostrated to a fetich as the people of his tribe were used to do in worshipping idols!
when he wanted to tell his tribe to worship Allah(God) & only Allah he first asked them if he had ever told them a lie & they answered him "" ما جربنا عليك كذبا قط

Yes,It is one of the pillars of Islam. Also Allah (s.w.t) tells us that every other act of worship we do is for us but when it comes to fasting,we fast for him.If a Muslim brother or sister is unable to fast for some reasons accepted by Islam he/she should pay the days they missed by fasting after ramadhan and if they can not fast still,one should give`kibaba'. After going through this i suggest you consult a knowledgeable person concerning the same

Because prophet Muhammad (PBUH) called people for Islam that:
- calls people for worship of God the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no father, no companion and no associate and abandoning worship of idols or worshiping partners to God, and
- brought freedom for slaves, respect for women, and equality for different races. These things were not very common in that days world.

In what place did islam first begin?
Islam, as a revelation from Angel Jibril to Porphet Muhammad (S), began in Mecca, where the Prophet lived before he migrated to Medina.
Islam, however, is the religion that every prophet from Adam (AS) was sending, as Islam means submission to God. So really, Islam started when the first Humans were placed on Earth.
Do Prophet Muhammad's descendants exist?
The Prophet had no surviving male child in his family when he died. All his sons passed away in their childhood. But he had daughters who survived him and continued his bloodline. His descendants through his daughters survived and carry the title of "Syed" in their name, and are much respected in the muslim community.
disclaimer - i am a muslim but NOT any religious scholar, i will strongly advise to research more through the net and your local library.
Who was the successor to Prophet Muhammad?
The Umma or the People. According to the Sunnis he was to be chosen democraticly as per the Prophet Muhammeds orders. According to Shiite belief it should be according to blood relation with the Prophet. This is still one of the main reasons for the division between the two sects.
Answer 1
Allah has granted us wisdom, brain, and heart to judge for ourselves. Muhammad the son of `Abdullah is Allah's Prophet and the Final Messenger Sent by Allah to the Inhabitants of Earth. My brothers and sisters everywhere! You should know that the Messenger, Muhammad the son of `Abdullah (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) is Allah's Messenger in reality and truth. The evidences that show his veracity are abundant. None but an infidel, who out of arrogance alone, could deny these signs.
Among these proofs:
1. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) was raised illiterate, unable to read or write, and remained like that till his death. Among all his people, he was known as being truthful and trustworthy. Before receiving revelation, he had no prior knowledge of Religion or any previously sent Message. He remained like that for his first forty years. Revelation then came to Muhammad with the Koran that we now have between our hands. This Koran mentioned most of the accounts found in the previous scriptures, telling us about these events in the greatest detail as if he witnessed them. These accounts came precisely as they were found in the Torah sent down to Moses and in the Gospel sent down to Jesus. Neither the Jews or Christians were able to belie him regarding anything that he said.
2. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) also foretold of everything that would occur to him and his community after him, pertaining to victory, the removal of the tyrannical kingdoms of Chosroes [the royal title for the Zoroastrian kings of Persia] and Caesar, and the establishment of the religion of Islam throughout the earth. These events occurred exactly as Muhammad foretold, as if he was reading the future from an open book.
3. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) also brought an Arabic Koran that is the peak of eloquence and clarity. The Koran challenged those eloquent and fluent Arabs of his time, who initially belied him, to bring forth a single chapter like the Koran. The eloquent Arabs of his day were unable to contest this Koran.
Indeed, till our day, none has ever dared to claim that he has been able to compose words that equal-or even approach-the order, grace, beauty, and splendor of this Glorious Koran.
4. The life history of this Noble Prophet was a perfect example of being upright, merciful, compassionate, truthful, brave, generous, distant from all evil character, and ascetic in all worldly matters, while striving solely for the reward of the Hereafter. Moreover, in all his actions and dealings, he was ever mindful and fearful of Allah.
5. Allah instilled great love for Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) in the hearts of all who believed in and met him. This love reached such a degree that any of his companions would willingly sacrifice his (or her) self, mother or father for him.
Till today, those who believe in Muhammad honor and love him. Anyone of those who believe in him would ransom his own family and wealth to see him, even if but once.
6. All of history has not preserved the biography of any person in the manner it has preserved the life of Muhammad, who is the most influential human in history.
Nor has the entire earth known of anyone whom every morning and evening, and many times thereafter throughout the day, is thought of by those who believe in him. Upon remembering Muhammad, the believers in him will greet him and ask Allah to bless him. They do such with full hearts and true love for him.
7. Nor has there every been a man on earth whom is still followed in all his doings by those who believe in him.
Those who believe in Muhammad, sleep in the manner he slept; purify themselves (through ablution and ritual washing) in the manner he purified himself; and adhere to his practice in the way they eat, drink, and clothe themselves.
Indeed in all aspects of their lives, the believers in Muhammad adhere to the teachings he spread among them and the path that he traveled upon during his life.
During every generation, from his day till our time, the believers in this Noble Prophet have fully adhered to his teachings. With some, this has reached the degree that they desire to follow and adhere to the Prophet's way in his personal matters regarding which Allah has not sought of them to adhere to in worship. For example, some will only eat those specific foods or only wear those specific garments that the Messenger liked.
Let alone all that, all those who believe in Muhammad repeat those praises of Allah, special prayers, and invocations that he would say during each of his actions during day and night, like: what he would say when he greeted people, upon entering and leaving the house, entering and leaving the mosque, entering and leaving the bathroom, going to sleep and awaking from sleep, observing the new crescent, observing the new fruit on trees, eating, drinking, dressing, riding, traveling and returning from travel, etc.
Let alone all that, all those who believe in Muhammad fully perform-even to the minute detail-every act of worship-like prayer, fasting, charity, and pilgrimage-as this Noble Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) taught and as he himself performed.
All of this allows those who believe in him, to live their lives in all aspects with this Noble Messenger as their example, as if he was standing before them, for them to follow in all their doings.
8. There has never been nor will there ever be a man anywhere upon this earth who has received such love, respect, honor, and obedience in all matters-small and large alike-as has this Noble Prophet.
9. Since his day, in every region of the earth and during every period, this Noble Prophet has been followed by individuals from all races, colors and peoples. Many of those who followed him were previously Christians, Jews, pagans, idolaters, or without any religion. Among those who chose to follow him, were those who were known for their sound judgment, wisdom, reflection, and foresight. They chose to follow this Noble Prophet after they witnessed the signs of his truthfulness and the evidences of his miracles. They did not choose to follow Muhammad out of compulsion or coercion or because they had adopted the ways of their fathers and mothers.
Indeed many of the followers of this Prophet (may Allah's blessings peace be upon him), chose to follow him during the time when Islam was weak, when there were few Muslims, and when there was severe persecution of his followers on earth. Most people who have followed this Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) have done so not to acquire some material benefits. Indeed many of his followers have suffered the greatest forms of harm and persecution as a result of following this Prophet. Despite all this harm and persecution, this did not turn them back from his religion.
My brethren! All of this clearly indicates to anyone possessing any sense, that this Prophet was truly and really Allah's messenger and that he was not just a man who claimed prophethood or spoke about Allah without knowledge.
10. With all this, Muhammad came with a great religion in its credal and legal make-up.
Muhammad described Allah with qualities of complete perfection, and at the same time in a manner that is free of ascribing to Him any imperfection. Neither the philosophers or the wise could ever describe Allah like such. Indeed it is impossible to imagine that any human mind could conceive of an existing being that possesses such complete ability, knowledge, and greatness; Who has subdued the creation; Who has encompassed everything in the universe, small or large; and Who possesses such perfect mercy.
Nor is it in the ability of any human being to place a perfect law based upon justice, equality, mercy and objectivity for all human activity on earth like the laws that Muhammad brought for all spheres of human activity - like buying and selling, marriage and divorce, renting, testimony, custody, and all other contracts that are necessary to uphold life and civilization on earth.
11. It is impossible that any person conceive wisdom,, morals, good manners, nobleness of characters as what this honorable Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) brought.
In a full and complete manner, Muhammad spread a teaching regarding character and manners toward one' parents, relatives, fiends, family, humanity, animals, plants and inanimate objects. It is impossible for the human mind alone to grasp all of that teaching or come with a similar teaching.
All of that unequivocally indicates that this Messenger did not bring an) of this religion from his own accord, but that it was rather a teaching and inspiration that he received from the One Who created the earth and the high heavens above and created this universe in its miraculous architecture and perfection.
12. The legal and credal make-up of the religion that the Messenger, Muhammad, (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) brought resembles the engineering of the heavens and the earth. All of that indicates that He who created the heavens and the earth is the One Who sent down this great law and upright religion.
The degree of inimitability of the Divine law that was sent down upon Muhammad is to the same degree of inimitability of the Divine creation of the heavens and earth. For just as humanity cannot create this universe, in the same manner humanity cannot bring forth a law like Allah's law that He sent down upon His servant and messenger Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him).

PROPHET MUHAMMAD (pbuh) IN THE BIBLE
islam101.com/religions/christianity/mBible.htm
islamreligion.com/articles/169/
Answer 2 Yes he is he is the last prophet from god to the Muslims.
Answer 3 The simple answer is: Mohammad is not a prophet even though Muslims consider him as a prophet like the prophets in the Bible. The reasons he is not a prophet are the following:
- He never prophesied anything and did not know about the future according to Quran (Only those who foretold the future were called prophets in the Bible)
- Prophethood was his own claim and he could not produce any evidence (The prophets of the Bible were able to produce evidence for their claim)
- People of his time accused him of making up stories and revelations that they have heard before. He could not produce anything to disprove them.
- Mohammad produced many revelations that are contrary to the revelations received by the prophets of the Bible which Qur'an considers as real prophets. For example, Jewish prophets Isaiah and Daniel foretold the death of Messiah (Jesus) for the sins of the people. However, in Mohammad's revelation Jesus did not die.
- Mohammad produced revelations that are historically and scientifically proven wrong. Example: a) the death of Jesus on the cross is a historical fact which he denied, b) Alexander the great died at his old age according to Mohammed but historically he died at the age of 33, and c) sun sets in a muddy pond according to Mohammad.
- Mohammad violated his own revelations by taking 9 wives at one time while only 4 is allowed in the Qur'an. Later, he brought another revelation to allow his violation (Biblical prophets were punished if they disobeyed God's law).
- Mohammad made his followers to pray towards a Black Stone (which is another form of idol worship) which God of the Bible never commanded anyone to do (Pagans used to worship this way at Kaaba).
- Mohammad always came up with a favorable revelation just for him whenever he violated ethical and moral human values. For example: when he wanted to marry his daughter-in-law and when his wives complained about him going to slave girls for intimacy, he got new revelations allowing him to do these immoral things.
- Mohammad used sword to convert many to his new religion which none of the Biblical prophets did (Prophets never used force to convert anyone).
- Mohammad was not an ideal person of any time to follow his examples (marring 9-year old Iesha and daughter-in-law, killing his critics, kissing the Black Stone and running around it like the pagans) which is not apt for a prophet of God.
Answer 4
It depends on who is answering the question. To Muslims, the answer is very clear: Muhammad is the last and greatest of all the prophets, and no other prophet is his equal. Muslims say as their article of faith: "There is no God but the One God (Allah) and Muhammad is His messenger." But to Christians and Jews, while Muhammad was certainly an important historical figure who was the founder of a major religion, he is not considered a prophet. Christians and Jews only accept the men and women mentioned in the Holy Bible as prophets. They also do not accept the Qur'an (Koran) as sacred scripture, while for Muslims, what is in the Qur'an must be observed, since it is the teachings of Allah, as conveyed by his chosen prophet.
What was the first year of hijra?
According to Islamic Sources, Muhammad made the hijra in the year 622 C.E. according to the Western Gregorian calendar.
However, for a Muslim the answer is much easier, because the hijra marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. So a Muslim considers it the year 1.
How did Muhammad make people believe there is one God?
By the seventh century, when Muhammad began to talk about his new religion, Christianity and Judaism already had a significant presence in Arabia, spreading the concept of just one god. If they won the support of just one tribal leader, then an entire tribe would be required to convert to either Christianity or Judaism. In this way, they had already begun to win significant numbers of converts, and most pagans were more or less familiar with belief in just one god.
Whether there was one God or many gods was not so much of concern to potential converts, but whether Muhammad's God was a powerful God. Soon after his move to Medina, Muhammad made strong tribal alliances, not by convincing leaders that his God was the only true god, but by strategic marriages. Soon he was demonstrating his military success, and it was this that really began to attract widespread support throughout the Arabian Peninsula. Whether tribes simply wanted to share in Muhammad's successes or actually believed that his God was the reason for those successes, large numbers quickly joined him.
What does the first year of the muslim calendar mark?
It marks the prophet migration from Makkah (or Mecca) to Medina (or Yathreb or AlMadinah)
How important is it to love Prophet Muhammad?
Why is it important to love rasulullah S.A.W.?
In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful.
It is important to love rasulullah SAW, because Love of the Prophet (s) is a requirement on every believer. He is respected not only amongst the Muslims but many non-Muslims also follow him. Prophet muhammad (SAW) is know as the last prophet. The Love for the Prophet means to acknowledge, cherish and glorify all the potential of goodness and greatness that God has created within us. The love of the Prophet represents the human side of faith. Our love for the Prophet can be expressed by glorifying and blessing him. And sending Durood Upon him. No muslim can be a true musilm until he loves the prophet SAW more than anything in this world, even more than ourselves. Allah sent Muhammad (SAW) to mankind after a long period of sheer ignorance: the weak were bullied and exploited. He was the light that guided and the heart that gathered people around him. For all this Allah (SWT) asked the believers to love the Prophet (SAW), respect him and follow his orders. His heart was filled with intense love for all human beings irrespective of caste, creed, or color. He advised his Companions to regard all people as their brothers and sisters. Muhammad explained, interpreted and lived the teachings of Islam. The Prophet Muhammad is the greatest of all prophets for many reasons, but mainly because the results of his mission have brought more people into the pure belief in One God than any other prophet. Prophet Muhammad SAW taught Muslims to refer to him as "the Messenger of God and His Slave". To Muslims, Muhammad is the supreme example for all people - he was the exemplary prophet, statesman, military leader, ruler, teacher, father and friend. Unlike other prophets and messengers, the Prophet Muhammad lived in the full light of history. Muslims don't need to have "faith" that he existed and that his teachings are preserved, they know it to be a fact. Even when his followers only numbered a few dozen, Almighty God informed Muhammad that he had be sent as a mercy to all of mankind. The Quran, was revealed to prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Love of the Prophet (s) is what differentiates the believers in the perfection of their Iman. Prophet Muhammad's unique communication and leadership style led to the spread of Islam, not only within Arabia but also outside to the north, south, east, west and southwest of Arabia . As a leader during wartime or as a leader during peacetime, Prophet Muhammad proved to master skillful techniques with which he accomplished his goals in delivering the message of Islam. Prophet Muhammad communicative values of liberty, justice, modesty, and politeness were matched with practical deeds. The people saw this action of his and identified with. Prophet Muhammad is a perfect example for all people, especially for those who believe in God and the Day of Judgment. Prophet Muhammad (sal-lal-lahu-alaihi-wa-sallam) already loves us without seeing us because we believed in him and loved him without seeing him; this is what he told his companions about us 1400 years ago, and he called us his brothers and sisters, and said he longed to see us in Paradise. We Muslims must send blessings on our Prophet Muhammad (sal-lal-lahu-alaihi-wa-sallam) as Allah commands us in the Qur'an. Make it a habit to learn a small piece of information about him every day; there are many books and sites that can provide this kind of information. You can't love someone without knowing him, so this is your first step to making your love for the Prophet a practical love: by seeking to know him and developing a thirst for knowing more, and a burning need to see him with your heart.

"The Messenger (Muhammad) has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord (Allah or God and same God worshiped in Judaism and Christianity), and [so have] the believers.
