What is the shrine that you can find in Makkah?
Hello brother.
Its called KABA.Its not a shrine but a simple structure.The foundation of KABA was put by none other then the first man on earth ADAM (peace be upon him).During the days of Propeht Ibrahim (peace be upon him), it was built in this structure.The present structure is raised in height by the subsequent rulers of Makkah mukarramah.
There are mainly 02 significant things to know about KABA
1) Its the centre point towards which all Muslims turn to and face it for offering the 05 times prayers. All masjids (the common prayer halls for Muslims everywhere) are constructed facing the KABA. This direction is generally called "Qibla".
There is a big masjid built around KABA and its called "masjid haram shareef".As this is the starting point (of forming the prayer lines) the masjid is constructed in circular manner so that Muslims stand in round circles around KABA for offering prayers (salath,namaz).
2) The other significant thing to know about KABA is the sacrifice of Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and his son Hazrat Ismail (peace be upon him) .You can Google and read the complete story of sacrifice.We Muslims remember this sacrifice to this day by celebrating "Eid al Zuha", a major festival of Islam.For your information, Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and his son Hazrat Ismail (peace be upon him) are accepted by Christians and Jews also as the messenger of ALLAH.
As this KABA was the same place where this sacrifice took place and subsequently the water of "zam-zam" (stop-stop) started to flow from earth and thus laying the foundations of livelihood and human settlements.So today, millions of Muslims around the world visit here and perform HAJJ (a ritual which is one of the 05 pillars of Islam, though compulsory for only those Muslims who can afford it.)
every year on 10th of Zul-Hajj, the last month of hijri calendar.
The date today is 25th November 2009 (08 Zul Hajj 1430) and tomorrow happens to be Arafat, the day before Eid-al-zuha.I want to put up an article regarding this holiday.
I ask for pardon to ALLAH if I make any mistake in above writing.
Assalamualikum.

The meaning of Eid Al Adha
By Dr. Akram Bou-Ghannam
Holidays become meaningless when their original purpose and meaning are
forgotten. In such instances, the holiday becomes merely an occasion for festivity and
indulgence. So, Why we celebrate this holy day of Eid Al Adha?
The story Eid Al Adha has a biblical origin, and it is the story of the testing of
Ibrahim's (peace be upon him) faith by God. Both the Quran and the Torah record the high drama narratives of
the story. The Quran records Ibrahim saying: "Son, God came to me in a vision and
commanded me to offer you as a sacrifice. What do you think we should do?" Ismail
replied: "I trust God and will abide by His will. Do what he commanded you to do."
At the last split second, God interrupts the sacrificial process. God intervenes saying:
"O Ibrahim, thou has already fulfilled the vision." Ibrahim passes the test, and a ram was
substituted for sacrifice in place of the son. Thus, father & son became role models for
true Muslims; those who place God's will before their own. Ibrahim, after waiting for so
long for an heir promised by God, is now required to sacrifice him. Ismail, on the other
hand, was asked to make the supreme sacrifice; his own life.
So what is the moral and significance of the story? The moral of the story is that
GOD DOES NOT DEMAND HUMAN SACRIFICE, BUT TRUST AND OBEDIENCE AS A BASIS
FOR FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM. The story was about a trial of the will and the faith of the
father and the son. Ibrahim was tested on the priorities of his faith, love, and trust. Ismail (peace be upon him)
was tested for obedience. SELF-SACRIFICE is the significance of the story sufficient to
celebrate Eid Al Adha. Ismail offered to stand true to his promise if his self-sacrifice was
really required.
What does Eid Al Adha mean to us - the Muwahhidun? Like Ibrahim & Ismail, we
their descendants, are to be tested for our worthiness also. We qualify by traveling a
threefold path to Peace, Faith, and Unity. Our pilgrimage is strewn with temptations,
obstacles, and distractions. Our free will is tested and we must SACRIFICE to reach our
objective of UNITY WITH GOD.
In our lives we should be striving for Unity with God, and sacrificing to achieve our
goal in Tawhid. First, one must avoid Self-Indulgence. This lesson is learned by the
luminary al-Aql is ever with us. Can some one tell us what this lesson is?
Our achievement through our mental faculty must be tempered with piety (humility),
lest our attainment make us arrogant and cause us to be cut off from the blessing and
union with the One.
Second we must sacrifice worldly pleasures. We should not let worldly pleasures
distract us from the deeper meanings and noble pursuits in our daily lives, and especially
on this noble occasion and revered religious holy day.
So, what is the meaning of Pilgrimage in Tawhid. In Muslim traditions Eid Al Adha
is a very important component of the pilgrimage to the House of God. One third of the
sacrifice (contributions, charity) on the Eid to be given to the poor, 1/3 as a donation, and
1/3 retained for kinsfolk (relatives). Tawhid considers pilgrimage not simply a physical
trip to Mecca, but a pilgrimage to the "House of Knowledge" or Tawhid. Thus our life
itself becomes a continuous pilgrimage on the path of Tawhid leading ultimately to the
union with the One.
In summary, we learned what the real meaning of sacrifice is. We learned that life
itself is a test. The journey to the "House of Knowledge" will demand a great deal of
sacrifice for the common good in this world, and for the eternal unity with God. So, Eid
Al Adha is the day of:
1) Self-judgment, whereby we reinforce our faith, and assess and judge our actions and
behavior
2) Recognition, Appreciation, and Remembrance
3) Celebrating God's existence and the revelation of His Instructions
4) Reconfirming Tawhid and the Oneness of God
Who was the last sahaba to die?
The last companion (sahabi) of the prophet Muhammad (saw) to die among his close companions was Anas bin Maalik (ra), he was the last living companion who closely accompanied the prophet and fought alongside him in battles but there were many other lesser companions who saw and believed in Muhammad (saw) without to accompany him frequently like the Muhajireen and the Ansar.
Anas bin Maalik was asked when he was the last living companion of the Prophet (saw),
"Is there anybody left from the sahabah of the Messenger of Allah (saw)?" he said: "from his sahabah, there are none, but from those who saw the Prophet (saw) from the bedouin, there are many."
How did the Meccans oppose the prophet?
The Makkans, with the exception of a few, turned against the Prophet (SAW) and the Muslims. They tortured them to that extent that they had to migrate to Madina Munawara. They also engaged the Muslims militarily for the ten year Madinan Period.
How were the first four caliphs related to Muhammad?
The First Caliph was Abu Bakr who was a very close and good friend of Muhammad (PBUH)
The second Caliph was Umar he was also a very good and close froend of Muhammad (PBUH)
Third was Ali he was married to one of Muhammad (PBUH)'s daughter Fatimah!
and fourth i dont know!...sorry!
Who were the prophets of each religion in Islam?
There are 3 Major Religions followed today by people all over the world: Christianity, Judaism and Islam
Judaism is based on the teachings of Musa (A.S) or Mosesand previous Prophets. The Holy book revealed was Turayt or Torah
Christianity is based on the teachings of Isa (A.S) or Jesus. The Holy book revealed was Injeel or Bible.
Basically both these prophets gave the message of Allah too, which was Islam, since there was a lot of time gap between the revelation of Musa (A.S) and Isa (A.S) people started forgetting the teachings, and started adding/adulterating the original word of God for their own personal gains.
You can compare Bibles and Torahs from different parts of the world, they will have discrepancies.
So finally God sent Muhammad (Peace Be Upon him) as His final messenger with the Holy book Quran. All these Prophets have been mentioned in the Holy Quran.
What did Gabriel tell Muhammad when Muhammad was in his sleep?
Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) used to spend days and weeks in meditation in the cave of Hira. During his meditation Hazrat Gabriel revealed to him the first verses of the holy Quran: Translation: "Read in the name of thy Lord (Rabb) Who created man from a lump of congealed blood...."

What are 5 things that get in the way of loving prophet Mohammad?
I am not a Muslim, so you may wish to take this with a grain of salt.
Five things that make it difficult for me to love Prophet Muhammad:
1) He performed massacres of innocents. For example, if we look at the attack on Khaybar where almost the entire population of the oasis was killed, including young children, the exception being the women. Muhammad not only supported this, he ordered it. He even married a woman after killing her father, brother, and former husband. You can imagine how pleased she was.
2) He performed and suborned rape. The Qur'an holds that you can have sex with "those your right hand possesses", which is code for "slaves". So, when Muhammad would attack neighboring villages, he would take women as slaves so he could have sex with them. This is rape. Not to mention that if Sahih al-Bukhari was correct, Aïsha was 9 when Muhammad bedded her. As a 9-year-old cannot properly consent to sex, this would also be rape.
3) He ordered acts of theft. When the Muslims settled in Medina, they lacked provisions and supplies. As a result, Muhammad ordered his ablest fighters to find merchants leaving Mecca, steal their goods and kill them. This resulted in gaining the necessary goods, but provoked a war with Mecca which rose to the defence of those merchants.
4) He openly destroyed symbols that were holy to other peoples and nations. When he retook the Ka'aba, he destroyed the various idols that were there and represented dozens of religions. This immensely hurt and angered the various other religions of Mecca.
5) He subborned murder and violated freedom of speech. There were several poets, especially Asma bint Marwan, who mocked Muhammad and the Qur'an. Their poetry was in the ballpark quality of the Qur'an. As a result, Muhammad made it known that these poets greatly displeased and when 'Omar killed Asma in Muhammad's name, Muhammad declared how proud he was that this "enemy of Islam" was killed.
Do people still follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad?
Yes and those people are called Muslims. Like me.
How did ibrahim the son of hazrat muhammad die?
We are not told the name of his illness.
In those days, infant deaths were extremely common. Sad to say, as many as half of all children died before they were five years old. The exact reason why a child had died was therefore not often considered newsworthy.
The historians dispute Ibrahim's exact age at death, but it was certainly less than two years.
What is the prophets uncles name?
Abu Lahab was his uncle that is mentioned most in the Quran but here are the others:
Uncles of Prophet Muhammad (SAW):Total Uncles - 9Only 2 embraced Islam - Syedna Hamza (RA) & Syedna Abbas (RA)
7 Uncles did not embraced Islam -
Aabu Talib, Abu Lahab, Zubair, Maqoom, Zarrar, Haris & Mugheera
Aunts of Prophet Muhammad (SAW):
Total Aunts - 6Only one embraced Islam - Syeda Safia (RA)
5 Aunts did not embraced Islam -
Um-e-Hakeem Baiza (Grandmother of Syedna Usman (RA)),
Aroohi (some says perhaps she accepted Islam but not confirmed),
Ateeka (some says perhaps she accepted Islam but not confirmed),
Barrah, Aminah
Are thangals really the desendants of prophet mohammed pbuh?
Yes they, The term "Thangal" is a honorific title used by Malayalam speaking people in calling higher caste people. There are Hindu Thangals or a warrior class of Brahmins. It generally means respected person. The descendants of the Prohphet are through his daughter Fatima and his Son in Law/Cousin Ali Ibn Abi Talib. Todays thangals/syeds/sharifs trace their ancestors through either Hassan or Hussein (both sons of Fatima and Ali).

same message which Ibrahim(Abraham p.b.u.h ) gave
to believe in oneness of God.. to believe in Sole God.. who is the creater of everything that Exist..
to believe in All the prophets .. to believe in Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h as last and final messenger..
to believe in Qur'an as a word of God.. (to believe you can try some litmus test also) but putting it on modern science classification.. although it is not the book of science but the book of signs..
to believe in hereafter .., judgment day,
