Aspects of Ukhrawi (Hereafter) in the Hajj In the pilgrimage there are analogies with the human journey to the afterlife.

Hajj and Sacrifice: Grounding the Values ​​of Social Piety and Dialogical Learning with Al-Haqq towards Internalization of Haqq (Part 1)

Then We revealed to you (Muhammad): "Follow the religion of Abraham, a hanif" and he is not one of those who associate partners with God. (Surat an-Nahl: 123) It is undeniable that every human being in any religion, by nature, has an interest in worshiping and communicating with his Lord. Therefore, God wisely always determines a certain place for every religious community to gather to worship and communicate in order to get closer to Him. For followers of the US Abrahamic religion, Allah SWT has determined the illegitimate land of Mecca as a place to carry out the shari'ah of the pilgrimage and sacrifice, since Ibrahim AS and Ismail AS received the mandate of worship until the Prophet Muhammad SAW.

Lying because of Force, is Allah Forgiven?

Assalamualaikum. Ustadz, I want to ask. Do all forms of lying Allah not forgive him? I'm confused about my situation here. My employer is not good. I haven't had a day off for almost 10 months. You can't leave the house either. If you want permission to buy medicine and other necessities, it can be delivered, and even then it can only be done once every 3 months. Food is not guaranteed. The employer also said bad. Sometimes he would say, “What are you doing in the kitchen? Pray to your Lord?” There is a huge difference between the information when I signed the work contract that allowed me to pray and I was allowed to take a day off and the reality. If I report it to the agency, I am only asked to be patient. As a result, I increasingly... READ MORE

Assalamualaikum. Ustadz, I want to ask. If you forget the number of rak'ahs when praying, for example, what should be 2 rak'ahs becomes 3, but when you are standing on the third rak'ah someone reminds you and then you remember, does that include adding more cycles of prayer?
