Question:

As-Salamu `alaykum! I would like to ask you about a network marketing whereby a new company sells gold through the internet and the person who buys from them can get involved in the business as an agent for the company (to become an agent you have to buy a gold coin) and after becoming agent, for each sale you make, you receive 40 US dollars as commission, either the sale is conducted directly or indirectly.

Question:

Assalamu alaikum,

Is it true that it is preferred ( mustahab) to delay the Isha prayer until midnight and that the prophet (pbuh ) would do so sometimes ?If this is so, then what are the conditions that make it permissible to do so, so that it wouldn’t be considered an act laziness or procrastination on my part?

Thank you

Hidayah untuk memeluk agama Islam bisa datang kepada siapa saja jika Allah Swt. sudah menghendaki. Dalam e-book ini dikisahkan tentang seorang surat-menyurat seorang gadis muallaf yang berkat ketekunan, semangat dan hidayah Allah Swt. akhirnya memeluk agama Islam.

Maryam Jamilah atau yang dulunya bernama Maryam Marcus adalah seorang gadis yang berasal dari suatu keluarga Yahudi yang bermukim di New York, Amerika Serikat. Tentu saja perpindahan agamanya ke Islam membuatnya mengalami penderitaan yang berkepanjangan, hal ini dikarenakan oleh masyarakat New York yang mayoritas beragama Kristen dan keluarga Yahudinya yang membuang dan mengucilkan muslimah muallaf ini.

Sesungguhnya Allah telah membeli dari orang-orang mukmin diri dan harta mereka dengan memberikan surga untuk mereka. Mereka berperang pada jalan Allah; lalu mereka membunuh atau terbunuh. (Itu telah menjadi) janji yang benar dari Allah di dalam Taurat, Injil dan Al Quran. Dan siapakah yang lebih menepati janjinya (selain) daripada Allah? Maka bergembiralah dengan jual beli yang telah kamu lakukan itu, dan itulah kemenangan yang besar. (QS At-Taubah : 111)

Perang Bosnia memang sudah sekian tahun berlalu tapi kisah-kisah di balik perjuangan rakyat Bosnia dalam usahanya menegakkan kemerdekaan di tanah airnya sendiri masih banyak diingat. Para mujahidin yang gugur disana banyak berasal dari mujahidin luar negeri yang datang dengan membawa semangat jihad demi memenuhi panggilan Allah Swt. untuk membantu saudara-saudara mereka yang tertindas.

Question:

I am living in United States and I have a bank account. I don't take interest but just I am thinking why should I leave that interest money with bank, why not I use it to give Sadaqah to poor people. Is it permissible to use bank interest in Sadaqah?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Question:

As-Salaam `Alaykum. Is there any evidence from the sayings of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he used to say collective Du`a or supplications after each obligatory prayer. In our community we have different opinions regarding the issue. Basically, our Arab brothers are saying that Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not say the Du`a collectively, therefore, we should not do it, while others say that he has done it. I would really appreciate if you could clarify this matter.
