[Mabsoot]

http://www.turntoislam.com/images/tti/allison_new_york_muslim1.jpgNew Muslim Reverts This Ramadan! ( Allison Poole& Barbara Cartabuke) in New York, post-9/11 CNN Interview:
More And More People are Turning to Islam, especially after 9/11. September 11 has led to the media giving Islam a lot of attention. Although, the media has mostly reported negatively about Muslims and Islam, it has made people research about Islam. This has led to many to find the Truth about Islam and readily accept it as their faith. Please link back to www.turntoislam.com (http://www.turntoislam.com) when sharing these videos jazakallahu khayr.

CNN states that 1/4 of the 6 Million Muslims in the United States are Revert Muslims (Converts).
http://www.turntoislam.com/images/tti/barbara_new_york_muslim2.jpg
Allison Poole was Raised as a Southern Baptist Christian. She became Muslim this Ramadan. Alhamdulilah! Since becoming Muslim, she feels more at peace and finds Islam has made he life much better as she has the right belief in God. Her family is completely behind her decision, but she finds fellow Americans still misunderstand Islam and say bad things.

Barbara Cartabuke is also an American who has found Islam post 911. She was a Catholic who always felt praying to Jesus and reading Hail Mary's was wrong. When she found Islam, it was a breath of fresh air and answered all her questions regarding the reality of her existance and of true belief in God.

Many thanks and may Allah reward brother RizwanMansuri for originally sharing this video.

CNN Headline news reports on people converting to Islam post-9/11 :ma:

Please keep in mind the Sister only became Muslim a few days ago! Wasalam.

Also, the Imam shouldnt be hugging Muslim sisters. And the actual wording of the Shahada is There is no God but Allah, rather than there is no God but God, which is incorrect translation.

AlJazeera Interviews some American New Muslim women who became Muslim after 9/11. Aljazeera and FoxNews both interviewed Angela Colins, an ex-Catholic from sunny California. Safiya, who used to be an American Jew... Lost 8 of her relatives in September 11, however, this did not make her blame Islam for the actions of the perpetrators of September 11. Instead, she loved Islam and became Muslim. Having studied Islam and the Quran both women found out, that it has little to do with the extremist actions of a few lone people..... but it gives true meaning to worshipping God alone and not associating any partners with him. It is God's true message to mankind.

No offense to you ,but I think that is why we have so many problems in the world. Some seem to concentrate more in minial insignificant impure accusations, that in actuallity come from our inner self councious. To bad some can not only purify themselfs by not only washing their bodies but also their thoughts. Let's walk in the light not in the dark. Let's focus on the beauty of her convertion and their marriage. only Allah can be judge.

Couldn't agree more..We muslims are stuck with little, insignificant details... C'mon guys she became a muslim taking shada in tears.. I'm sure the imam considered her as a daughter and he is obviously very happy for her conversion. Well, i don't know if it's ok for him to embrace her but I suppose he had no bad intentions at all and you guys should stop denouncing your muslim brother like this:astag: ...Allah knows the best...

[busta_dawah]

if u see the video care fully the it says the imam has married the women

Alhudmulillah another sister converting is always moving to watch. However where the imam shaked her hand, I don't believe this to be menial. Alhumdulillah she has been brought out of darkness into light and wouldn't it be right for her to get the correct teaching's of islam?

Clearly we as Muslims live by the Qur'an and Sunnah and if something is haram then we take that and act upon it, don't we? And we can try and justify someone intentions however if goes out of the teaching of Islam then that intention is pretty much worthless.

Trust me I am not trying to pick up on little things or create fitna, thats my least intention, what my worry is what kind of teachings this sister will get from the imam who maybe is unaware of the manners of shaking hands of the opposite sex.

His act might seem small in terms to the greater action which was her shaahada, but Please lets not forsake our deen and leave our beloved prophet Muhammed SAW teaching's.

After my best greetings of islaam,Dear Brothers and sisters Allah not allows to shake the hands oppsite sex but the lady came in islam with strong faith Masha allah and I hope she will knows more about Quran and Sunnah.

Thank you brother, salaam be upon you! I deeply respect your ideas.. But I must say I'm a little surprized actually still no one supported this case with a verse or hadith.. Can any of you guys show me a few hadiths so my heart is pacified. I do not know much about this issue.

Wasallam, hope you are well. Yes here are a few hadith taken from another forum on this website.

Hadith - Sahih Muslim, narrated 'A'isha (ra)
By Allah, the hand of the Messenger of Allah (saw) never touched the hand of a woman. By Allah, the Messenger of Allah (saw) never took any vow from women except that which Allah had ordered him to take, and his palm never touched the palm of a woman. When he had taken their vow, he would tell that he had taken the oath from them orally.


Hadith - Recorded by Malik, Ahmad, al-Nasai, al-Tirmidhi and ibn Majah.
[Al-Albani has graded it sahih. Al-Albani, Sahih al-Jami, vol. 1, p. 494.]
The Prophet (saw) said, "I do not shake the hands of women."


Hadith - Sahih Muslim, narrated 'A'isha (ra)

By Allah, the Messenger of Allah (saw) never took any vow from women except that which Allah had ordered him to take, and his palm never touched the palm of a woman. When he had taken their vow, he would tell that he had taken the oath from them orally.

There are few more however could not find them, if I do inshallah I will post it.
Hope this is of help to you.

[atif]

Oops looks like to copied two hadiths which are the same :confused: ! Sorry here is another hadith which is similiar:

Hadith - Bukhari 9:321 (& 7:211)
The Prophet (saw) used to take the Pledge of allegiance from the women by words only after reciting this Holy Verse: (60.12) "..that they will not associate anything in worship with Allah." (60.12) And the hand of Allah's Apostle did not touch any woman's hand except the hand of that woman his right hand possessed. (i.e. his captives or his lady slaves).

:wasalam:

[cedric098]

Thank you very much brother. May Allah reward all of us with eternal paradise inshaAllah..

Ameen, May Allah reward you for your Sincerity

I embraced Islam but becasue I live in South Africa I luckily do not experience the predigous which the American reverts experience on a daily basis.
We must keep them in our duas

[dna1987]

lol. the imam hugs her. naughty naughty :astag:

lol, it's funny how you notice this things when you're watching the video. I noticed a Muslim father shake the hand of the Western girl that was visiting their house to learn about Islam. Lol. As I said, it's easier to notice from a third person point of view, but probably a lot harder to avoid when you are the person in that situation.

[abdullah123]

salam alaikum,

im so sorry if the joke i made has invited some negative responses. i wasnt intentionally trying to discredit the imam. it was just a joke. i agree with dna1987, the imam probably wasnt sure what's going on over there w/ camera all over the place and there's alot going on. i've been into that kind situation and i know exactly how it felt. It's a sin to assume the Imam intentionally hugged her. Morever, Allah is Most Merciful, Ever Merciful and Oft Forgiving.

A reminder to me and everyone else, the Prophet pbuh said that blood of Muslims and their reputation are sacred.

I just felt so bad to be the one who started this pointless discussion. May Allah forgive me. So, let's just forget about the imam and focus on the more important point, those sisters reverting into Islam.

note to self : think through before making a joke next time

^ dw brotha, I lol'd when I read it. It was actually quite a funny joke :D (to me anyway :))

if u see the video care fully the it says the imam has married the women

Anyways, according to this post, its all fine. The day is saved. Phew.

[Abu Muslim]

i read some people writing that the imam hugging the revert sister is a little, insignificant detail,how can u put commiting such a big sin as hugging or touching a non mehrem as a little, insignificant detail,i dont blame the revert sister cos she is new to islam and doesent know any better, but the imam! he is supposed to be a alim, the problem today is that people only see very big sins as bad but dont see lilltle sins like this as anything bad, i remember one scholer saying that a lot of people will enter hell fire because of small sins and not big sins, because, when a person commits a major sin they will see it a major sin and something bad and will make tawbah, because of this there is more chance of allah forgiving them and that person leaving the major sin, but when people commit small sins, a lot of people dont see them as aything bad or a sin at all, because of which they will not make tawbah from the small sin and these small sins will keep building up and become a big sin on the day of judgement, and will cause them to enter the fire of hell. Also if we come with this attitude that there is notting wrong with non mehrem's hugging each other, this will lead to fornication and adultary, like it already has done in the muslim society only because a lot of muslims think that non mehrem's hugging each other or being with each other is a little, insignificant detail, this is what the non muslims believe, and this is the reason why fornication and adultry is rife in their society, there is a reason for every single command of allah and the prophet (saw), and we can in no way ever treat any command of allah and the prophet(saw) as a little, insignificant detail, if we dont or cant practice it, we should just say"may allah forgive us and help us act on quran and sunnah), not brush it off by saying it is a little, insignificant detail.
MAY ALLAH GUIDE US ALL, AMEEN, SUMA AMEEN

[Abu Muslim]

If i wrote anything to discredit the imam or make him seem bad, then that was not my intention, and may allah forgive me, and may the imam forgive me, because im pretty sure that the imam is a far better muslim then me overall, and does more work for the deen then me. regarding the the act of hugging a non mehrem,it is still very wrong regardless of who the non mehrem is,

Assalaam-u-Alaikum Brother Saqub,

I toltally agree on your stance. I would ask the brothers and sisters, what is the biggest issue in Muslim Ummah?

Answer: Every person here is a 'selfmade' muftee. People suppose that what they think about Islam is actually right and else is wrong. The moment we give fake justifications for a sin, it will become unforgivable (or almost unforgivable). The blessing of Allah can only be availed by admitting the sin as 'sin' and asking forgiveness from Allah.

Giving arguments about a sin to prove that sin as right deed, is a fight against Allah. And the people who fight against Allah, they will not find a way out of anger of Allah SWT.


Wassalaam,

This is an American Islam it is not the true Islam of God , in Islam it is prohibited to men to shake hands with women and of course more worse if you make hug or kiss them ...........because this make a way for devil act and this also disobey the Allah instructions .

Asalamu-alaykum. subhanALLAH,the Iman huged the girl:astag: n thats haram no1 can justify that by saying " he didnt have any bad intentions" only Allah knows whats inside our hearts but we ALL have 2 follow the blessed prophet Muhammad(saw) sunnah... and if u think of it, alot of ppl dont have knowledge enough and when they see things like this offcourse they'll think it's ok, when it NOT. we have 2 be careful about what we say, cuz it's NOT about what u or i think, but ist about what the quran says or the prophet muhammad(saw) iam happy 4 the sister but plz give ppl the right info about islam. and remember that u are responsible 4 ur wrong info about isla u give 2 ppl muslims and non-muslims, when u look at the vid. u see tha the girls r prayin with pants n the hair's not covered well,when Allah said that womens have 2 cover them self from head 2 tow, n that includins when women r praying 2. we cant miss the little things, cuz it will lead 2 the big. cuz of drops comes rain. so brothers and sisters may Allah 4give all our sins and may Allah (swa) reward us with jannah firdaws amiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn


BTW : some ppl thought that the imam married her but he didnt. if u listen carefully u see that he devoted them(married them).

[khalillulah]

:salam2:
may Allah make her iman stronger, though the imam forgot the sunnah, regarding the issues of opposite sex, men who are not mahrim are not allowed to embrace women whether the matter is trivial or not, yes we muslims have to walk in the light rather than concentrating on mishaps, BUT THE SUNNAH SHOULD BE FOLLOWED RATHER THAN OVERLOOKED.
maasalam.

:salam2:
lol looks like self-proclaimed imam :SMILY47: :SMILY47:. ALLAH knows what the inner soul conceals, and may ALLAH forgive all our mistakes, for surely some assumptions and suspicions are considerd to be a sin. brothers and sisters imams are human being and they can sometimes be overwhelmed by intense situation like the emotional sis, the door of repentance is still open, and ALLAH is EVER FORGIVING AND EVER MERCIFUL.

باسم الله الرحمان الرحيم و الصلاة و السلام على سيدنا و مولانا و حبيبنا الكريم و على اله و صحبه اجمعين.
i have just joined that website as i saw many videos about women and men converted to islam. i just would like to tell you that you are the best in the world more than the muslims because muslims have lost their islam they kept just the name of "islam". iam a moroccan guy who is lost in the whole life although i was born muslim but things changed in our country the responsabilities are making life impossible in this country. also i blame the people for their indifference to what the prophet " left behind as a guidance light to humanity in the whole world.
i cried when i saw women and men from different ploaces of the whole world converted to islam, i think i cried because of happiness and being glad that they found the truth and the true relegion and i felt sad for those who call themselves muslims since they lost it and they don't have it anymore but maybe just the name. my sisters and my brothers in englad, netherland, america and whole world who converted to islam i whish that you will bear things bad to said upon you from different people. but be sure that you are on the true relegion and that you will meet the prophet محمد عليه الصلاة و السلام" in the heavens of "الله سبحانه تعالى". your brother in islam.
finally i hope that i will receive back letters from you all.
و السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Dear Brother/Sister,
I would like to tell you, first of all, that it's not of your business to get involved in what doesn't concern you. Her fiance is next to her and he didn't proclaim, why should you?
Second, I would like from you to justify when you start making fatwa. Please! Prove to us from the Koran that shaking hands and hugging muslima is a sin.
You are making fitna: Spreading that islam is a religion of hate and not of love.
shaking hands or hugging a sister doesn't mean that you slept with her.:astag:
-A sister can be hugged right?
-Yes! because she is a sister.
-So why not your Muslim sister can't be hugged?
-Because she is not a sister.
-Then, why are you calling her "sister"? That is called hypocrisy?. And a real Muslim shouldn't be hypocrit.Right?
-A..........

A Muslima should be trully concerned as a sister
Waiting for your replies.

[Mohd Akbar]

Thank you brother, salaam be upon you! I deeply respect your ideas.. But I must say I'm a little surprized actually still no one supported this case with a verse or hadith.. Can any of you guys show me a few hadiths so my heart is pacified. I do not know much about this issue.


It is the sword of intellect. The sword that conquers the hearts and minds of people. The Qur’an says in Surah Nahl, chapter 16 verse 125:

’Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord
with wisdom and beautiful preaching;
and argue with them in ways that are
best and most gracious.’
[Al-Qur’an 16:125]

[Mohd Akbar]

باسم الله الرحمان الرحيم و الصلاة و السلام على سيدنا و مولانا و حبيبنا الكريم و على اله و صحبه اجمعين.
i have just joined that website as i saw many videos about women and men converted to islam. i just would like to tell you that you are the best in the world more than the muslims because muslims have lost their islam they kept just the name of "islam". iam a moroccan guy who is lost in the whole life although i was born muslim but things changed in our country the responsabilities are making life impossible in this country. also i blame the people for their indifference to what the prophet " left behind as a guidance light to humanity in the whole world.
i cried when i saw women and men from different ploaces of the whole world converted to islam, i think i cried because of happiness and being glad that they found the truth and the true relegion and i felt sad for those who call themselves muslims since they lost it and they don't have it anymore but maybe just the name. my sisters and my brothers in englad, netherland, america and whole world who converted to islam i whish that you will bear things bad to said upon you from different people. but be sure that you are on the true relegion and that you will meet the prophet محمد عليه الصلاة و السلام" in the heavens of "الله سبحانه تعالى". your brother in islam.
finally i hope that i will receive back letters from you all.
و السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

With which sword was Islam spread? Even if Muslims had it they could not use it to spread Islam because the Qur’an says in the following verse:

’Let there be no compulsion in religion:
Truth stands out clear from error’
[Al-Qur’an 2:256]

Hijab for men:
''Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty:that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.'' [Al-Qur'an 24:30]

Hijab for women:
''And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what(must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except th their husbands, their fathers,their husbands fathers, their sons....''

brother we all human beings are brothers and children of Adam(pboh) and we muslims are brothers in faith. So that lady and imam is brother and sisters in faith.
Hope you got the answer.
If I m wrong pleace correct me we all are here to discusse

Complete obedience to Allah and His Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is mandatory for all Muslims. Anything or any act, no matter how small or big, which is not in complete accordance with Quran and Sunnah could be anyhting, but certainly not Islam.

:salam2:

The question whether or not it is right for the Imam to hug the Muslim Sister or shake hands with her has been argued, but without any reference from Quran and Sunnah.

These arguments vary from person to person and hence are liable to create differences among people and total confusion.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, our Prophet has left for us a yard stick for all times to come. If we make it a point to use this guage to guide us in all our actions, we can be dead sure that we are on the right path, the path of those who were rewarded by Allah.

As we all know, this guage is Quran and Sunnah.

In strict accordance with this yard stick, what to talk of a muslim sister, hugging even a women or shaking hands with her is forbidden, irrespective of your intentions, whatsoever, even of marrying her immediately after her reversion to Islam. The Imam did a very fine job, but it is compulsory for all the muslims to follow sharia (Quran and Sunnah) and Imam is not an exception.

that very touching , jazak Alaah khayran

[amirah80]

This is an American Islam it is not the true Islam of God , in Islam it is prohibited to men to shake hands with women and of course more worse if you make hug or kiss them ...........because this make a way for devil act and this also disobey the Allah instructions .

to new muslims and for all muslims too , PRACTICE ISLAM WITH CORRECT GOD INSTRUCTIONS .

Salam Alaikum

There is no such thing as American Islam. Islam is not divided and there is only one Islam. But the ones who follow Islam no matter there location need to abide by the commands of Allah and adhere to the messenge or our beloved Prophet (SAWS)

Masha'Allah for the revert accepting Islam as her truth.

Regardless whether the her fiance is with her it is not his command that makes touching a non mahrem acceptable. This is the command of Allah that overrides the fiance's discussion.

You are right you can hug your sister who is your mahrem. Your muslim sister is not your mahrem but your sister in Islam. There are no blood ties that exist. If we did followed your concept and consider the sister or brother in Islam your mahrem then no one could marry another muslim and that would stop the increasing numbers in the ummah. So Alhumdulilah that is not the case. Touching a non mahrem can lead to fitnah and it should be avoided. Men and women should not even mix, shake hands, so how do we go from that to thinking it is permissable to hug?

This thread will be closed because we cannot judge the Imam or the revert sister in the video. The discussion is being driven away from why the video was posted and that was to acknowlege the sisters journey.

Salam Amirah80
