Assalamualikum. I am aware of the different Madhabs (Maslaks) and their differing views regarding the posture in Salah, or regarding the difference of Opinion between scholars on certain aspects regarding the rules and regulations of salah. However, I am not compiling this document here to proof someone wrong, or to criticize someone or some sect. I am only compiling a document wherein every method starting from Wudhu onwards until the tasleem (salaam on both sides) is taken from sahih proven ahadith. there is no da'eef hadith or the sayings of a scholar included in this document. every step, every method and evey explanation is derived from the commands of Allah, his messenger (s.a.w) and his companions (r.a.a) . I only intend to convey the method which has been proven through the knights of islam (i.e muhaditheen) , scholars and fuqaha. If someone has any doubts regarding the methods and posture they can either comment under this document or contact me personally and if i have errd or made a mistake then may Allah have mercy on the one who corrects me for All good is from Allah and all the mistakes are mine

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN & WOMEN IN PRAYER POSTURES


Note : This is a Fiqhi topic and one must not take it to extremes. It is our duty to convey what is confirmed and also to chalk-line/describe that which is weak. Muslims should not criticize each other in a harsh way when discussing fiqhi issues. Don't forget we all are brothers in faith. The below document is a brief article on this topic . For a detail refutation on this topic (regarding the weak hadeeth and opinions) see the link at the end.

JIN AND THEIR TYPES : INTERESTING


























The following article is taken from foodiefahoodie blog aka Ilm4all blog. But i have modified the article as and where required 


1. Definition:

The word Jinn in `Arabic refers to something that is concealed and hidden.
It says in Lisaan al-`Arab: Janana means to cover or conceal. Everything that is concealed from you is Junna `Anka (concealed from you). Jannahu al-layl means the night covered him. The Jinn is so called because they are concealed and hidden from view. Hence the fetus is called al-Janeenbecause it is concealed in his mother’s womb.
