Stop lying!

Darwinists are wretched out of desperation!
They attempted to show the complete lemur fossilnamed Ida--which is an
extinct species--as a transitional form.
And about 90 percent of the animal and plant species on earth
becameextinct. [1] There are 99 species of lemurs. And 16species of
lemurs became extinct and many other species are now being determined
as extinct. And many more species have been lost. All the extinct
species are all perfect living forms with no signof the so-called
transitional forms.
Ida, is one the extinct species of lemur. It is aperfect developed
lemur and it shows nosign of intermediary form. It is an evidence of
creation.
THE TRUE FACTS ABOUTTHE FICTITIOUS 'MISSING LINK' IDA THAT DARWINISTS
NEVER MENTION >>>
[1] Science in Africa, Africa's First On-Line Science Magazine,
Nobody Attaches Any More Credence to Evolutionists' False Evidence!
* Darwinism is now finished. Darwinists and materialists have been
belittled in the public eye. They must now renounce their meaningless
pride and obstinacy and free themselves from the spell of the last 150
years. Life did not come into being by chance, and living things are
notdescended from one another. Almighty Allah (God) created the
universe and everything,living and inanimate, within it.
* Evolutionists who invent lie after lie and keep raising false
evidence in order to keep the theory of evolution alive are
beinghumiliated in the public eye. The latest evolutionist false
evidence is the fossil dinosaur known as Tyrannosaurus, depictedas the
"ancestor of birds." The results of a study conducted on proteins
obtained from this fossil, discovered in the state of Montana in the
USA in 2003, were again made public in a sensational manner.
Evolutionists compared the proteins they obtained from this fossil
with those of 21 modernspecies of bird and cameup with the lie that
this creature was directly related to the chicken and the ostrich.
* The fact is, however, that the idea that birds evolved from
dinosaurs is an invention opposed by leading ornithologistswho produce
clear evidence to back their case. Similarities among living things
represent no evidence for the theory of evolution. It is of course
utterly normal for there to be molecularsimilarities among
livingthings, because they are made up of the same molecules, use the
same water and atmosphere and consume nutrients made of the same
molecules. It is perfectly natural for their metabolisms and therefore
their genetic structures to resemble one another.
* If attempts are madeto prove evolution on the basis of molecular
comparisons, the picturethat emerges leaves evolution in a totally
helpless position. When evolutionists' illusory family trees are
prepared in the light of molecular comparisons, all previous family
trees have to be thrown away and it even has to be maintained that
there is an evolutionary link between human beings and the potato.
* Based on findings from the field of microbiology, the renowned
biochemist Prof. Michael Denton makes this comment:
"Each class at a molecular level is unique, isolated and unlinked by
intermediates. Thus, molecules, like fossils, have failed to provide
the elusive intermediates so long sought by evolutionary biology… At a
molecular level, no organism is"ancestral" or"primitive" or"advanced"
compared with its relatives…" (Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, London:
Burnett Books, pp. 290-91)
* The oldest-known bird fossil is Archaeopteryx, which dates back
some 150 million years. With its perfect flight muscles and feathers
ideally suited to flight, this animal was a flying bird.The dinosaur
fossil in thelatest study seeking to establish a relation with birds
is only 68 million years old. This means that birds were in existence
some 80 million years before this dinosaur. For that reason, the idea
that there is an evolutionary link to this dinosaur, andthat birds
"evolved from dinosaurs" is a fantasy.
* These efforts are all in vain. Modern science has revealed that
the extraordinary complexity in the origin of life cannot be explained
from a materialist perspective. Reports of this kind on the press are
just hopeless and misleadingtactics on the part of various circles
holding a materialist world view. Living things were created through
Almighty Allah commanding them to "Be!" not through a chance process
of evolution.
The newly announced Tyrannosaurus fossil, which is claimed to havea
familial link to birds, is 68 million years old. Yet the fossil known
as Confuciusornis, shown above and belonging to an extinct species of
bird, is fully 120 million years old.
1. Not one single proteincan come into being by chance.
Proteins are complex molecules that both represent the building
blocks of living cells and also assume various functions within the
cell.When the chances of an average protein molecule emerging by
chance are calculated, the result is a number consisting of 10
followed by 950 zeros. Inpractical mathematical terms, such a figure
represents "zero probability."
2. Irreducibly complex organs refute evolution.
Irreducible complexity is a characteristic that invalidates the
claim of gradual development that lies at the basis of the theory of
evolution. For example, there is irreducible complexity inthe eye and
in wings. It is impossible for the organelles that combine to make up
the eye, suchas the tear gland, the retina and iris to form
individually by chance. Because sight will only occur when all the
components of the eye are all perfectly formed. The same thing applies
to the wing.
3. The inconceivable amount of information in DNA repudiates chance.
The information concerning all characteristics, from a person's
physical appearance to the structure of their internal organs is
encoded by a special system in their DNA. If we were to try to put the
genetic information in DNA down on paper, we would need to createa
huge library of 900 volumes of 500 pages each. But this inconceivable
quantity of information is contained in those parts of DNA known as
"genes." And it is an absolute fact that DNA cannot emerge by chance.
4. The fossil record points to Creation.
Although some 100 million fossils belonging to 250,000 different
species have been unearthed, not even onesupports Darwinism. Each one
of the fossils discovered, belongs to fully formed and
flawlessorganisms. Were evolutionists' claims true, a large part out
of so many fossils should belong to "intermediate life forms," though
not asingle one actually does.
5. Life forms appeared suddenly in the Cambrian Period.
Nearly all the main physical structures in living things (categories
such as arthropods, chordates etc.) emerged in the Cambrian Period,
some 530 million years ago. While only 1 or 2 of these main categories
existed prior to the Cambrian, more than 50 emerged suddenly in
different parts of the world during the Cambrian Period. Pre-Cambrian
life forms have simpler structures, while those from the Cambrian are
incomparably more complex. For example, there is no difference between
the structure ofthe eye of the trilobite, which emerged during this
period, and that of eyes today.
6. "Living fossils" are a response to evolutionist myths.
Living fossils are striking proof that, totally demolish the
theory of evolution's claim of "gradual development." The reason why
they are known as "living fossils" is that despite being hundreds of
millions of years old, they are identical to specimens living today.
There are many specimens of living fossils, from ants to trees and
from bats tosharks. This is definitive evidence that no evolution ever
took place in the course of natural history.
7. Reptiles are not the ancestors of birds.
Evolutionists are no longer able to point to Archaeopteryx as an
intermediate form between reptiles and birds. Examinations of this
fossil shown that it is not a transitional form, and that it is an
extinct bird with a few different features to those of present-day
birds. The presence of a breastbone indicating powerful flight
muscles and an asymmetric feather structure identical to that in
modern-day birds show that the animal was ableto fly to perfection.
8. Fish did not emerge onto dry land.
Evolutionists used to point to the fish known as the Coelacanth
as evidence for the myth ofa transition from water to dry land. It
used to be thought that the Coelacanth represented an intermediate
form between fish and amphibians. However, a "living" specimen of a
Coelacanth was caught in the Indian Ocean in 1938. More than 200 other
specimens have been caught since. Examinations of living Coelacanths
revealed that it is a perfectly structured fish and that all the
previous conjectures about the fossils was mistaken.
9. Mutations do not form new species.
Mutations are breakages or dislocations occurring asa result of
radiation or chemical agents in the DNA molecule in the nucleus of the
living cell that carries genetic information. DNA has a highly
complex structure. Therefore, anyrandom change in the molecule will be
damaging to it. Mutations usually lead toirreparable damage and
deformity, and even to death. The people exposed to the disasters at
Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Chernobyl are living indications of this. The
claim that mutations are an evolutionary mechanism is proof of the
dead-end in which the theory of evolution finds itself.
10. Natural selection does not lead to evolution.
Natural selection is an expression of the survival of strong
living things best suited to their surroundings. But this does not
give rise to any new species. For example, in a herd of zebra under
threat from predators, those zebras able to run fast will survive and
the herd willeventually come to consist of fast-running individuals.
But this process is a limited one and cannot turn the zebra into any
other species. Because zebra have their own unique skeletal structure
and physiology recorded in their DNA, and the struggle against
predators cannot alter that information nor bestow any new genetic
information on the zebra.
11. Human beings never evolved, but were created as humans.
It has emerged that the human family tree is a diagram drawn up
solely in the light of evolutionists' imaginations. Evolutionists
maintainedthat human beings emerged gradually in the following line of
progression:"Australopithecines > Homo habilis > Homo erectus> Homo
sapiens" They sought to give the impression that each one of the life
forms in that list was the forerunner of the one after it. But the
discovery of these life forms, which evolutionists portray as one
another's ancestors, right beside one anotherhas demolished this
family tree. The latest discoveries by paleoanthropologists show that
Australopithecines, Homo habilis and Homo erectus existed at the same
time in different parts of the world.
12. Evolutionists resort to frauds.
Evolutionists also resort to frauds in order to "prove" their
theory. To date, there has been a great deal of such evolutionist
fraud as that in embryo drawingsand in fossils being hidden away or
destroyed. The most striking example is the Piltdown Man fraud.
It was suggested thata skull discovered in 1912 near Piltdown in
England belonged to an "ape-man." This fossil, the skull of which
exhibited human features and the jaw those of an orangutan, was
displayed in the famous British Museum for 40 years. However, it was
finally exposed as a forgery in 1953. The fossil had been produced by
evolutionists who combined a human skull and an orangutan jaw and used
chemicals to give it an aged appearance.

Darwinism has been annihilated across the world
Darwinism has deceived the world for around a century and a half and
has attempted to indoctrinate people withmaterialist philosophy using
hoaxes and lies. HARUN YAHYA'S ATLAS OF CREATION HAS ANNOUNCEDTHE
DEMOLITION OF THIS FALSE THEORY , which for years convinced people
that life forms were descended, by chance, from other forms.
The Turkish public came to see this reality with enormous joy and
excitement, following which and by virtue of Atlas of Creation , the
people of Europe who had for so long been subjected to materialist and
Darwinist indoctrination, also came by the opportunityof seeing the
true facts. The way that all of Europe has become acquainted with
Atlas of Creation and the declaration of the fact that living
creatures have remained unchanged for millions of years and that
evolution is devoid of any scientific worth have led to a major change
of belief among the people of Europe. Independent polls conducted by
well-known publishing institutions in different European countries
haverevealed a major drop inthe numbers of people believing in
Darwinism and that belief in Allah now dominates Europe.
Some survey findings from across Europe are:
FRANCE/ Science Actualités / 16 February 2007

Following the major impact of the distribution of Atlas of Creation in
France, the French website Science Actualités carried out a public
opinion poll. The results of the survey showed that Darwinism has been
annihilated in France. According to the findings, set out under the
caption "Your Views on Evolution," revealed that 92% of the public no
longer believe in evolution.
GERMANY / Die Welt / 17 April 2008
Darwinism has also beendemolished in Germany, which now says, "Allah

What the findings of the polls, a few of which are cited above, make
crystal clear is this: ATLAS OF CREATION HAS HAD AN EXPLOSIVE IMPACT
ON THE ENTIRE WORLD .
In the face of the scientific evidence people have now abandoned
belief in the fraud of evolution. They now realize that Darwinism is a
deception being kept alive for ideological reasons.
In the wake of the facts set out in Atlas of Creation, people have now
come to see that all living creatures are brought into being by the
will and at the command of our Lord, Allah. That is what the poll
results show.
DARWINISM HAS BEEN ANNIHILATED AND DEMOLISHED ACROSS THE WHOLE WORLD,
BEFORE THE VERY EYES OF THE LOYAL ADHERENTS OF MATERIALIST PHILOSOPHY.
The level of people believing in the fact of Creation stood at 85% in
a poll conducted on the web site of Blick, one of Switzerland's
widest-read newspapers.
According to a poll regarding whether or not evolution actually
happened that appearedon the web site of Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of
Germany's main dailies, the level of thosebelieving that human beings

The German daily Die Welt, one of the countries most important
publications, conducted a poll about Creation on its website.
Eighty-six percent of the participants responded to the question "How
do you think life came into being?" by saying "Allah created it." -

The appearance of the angels that will be alongside Hazrat Mahdi (as) is something that will take place in the spiritual world alone, and will therefore be visible only to the angels

To suggest that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be a mostextraordinary person
and that he will be recognized as soon as heappears is a claim that
conflicts totally with the hadith of our Prophet (saas) and with the
law of Allah. According to some people who insist on making such a
claim, tanks, shells and even atom bombs will have no effect on Hazrat
Mahdi (as). In addition, they say that when people look above Hazrat
Mahdi's (as) head they will see angels on a cloud, and these will
constantly point Hazrat Mahdi (as) out to people.The fact is, however,
that THE HADITH OF OUR PROPHET (SAAS) SAY THAT THE GREAT MAHDI OF THE
END TIMES WILL BE SUBJECTED TO PRESSURE, DURESS AND OPPRESSION FROM
THE SYSTEM OF THE DAJJAL, THAT HE WILL BE IMPRISONED AND LIVE WITH THE
THREAT OF DEATH, THAT HIS HANDS AND FEET WILL BE CHAINED, THAT A
COPPER TABLET WILL BE HUNG AROUND HIS NECK, THAT HE WILL BE ABANDONED
TO SUFFERING AND TROUBLE AND THAT HE WILL BE ISOLATED.
It is also perfectly apparent from the hadith of our Prophet (saas)
that there will be angels alongside Hazrat Mahdi (as) and that these
angels will help him.
HAZRAT JIBRIL (AS) AND HAZRAT MIKHAIL (AS) AND FORTY-SIX THOUSAND
(46,000) ANGELS WILL BE IMAM MAHDI'S [HAZRAT MAHDI'S (AS)] HELPERS AND
COMPANIONS.1

HOWEVER , THE APPEARANCE OF THE ANGELS THAT WILL BE ALONGSIDE HAZRAT
MAHDI(AS) IS SOMETHING THAT WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD
ALONE, AND WILL THEREFORE BE VISIBLE ONLY TO THE ANGELS.
If, as some people maintain, Hazrat Mahdi (as) were an extraordinary
entity with angels visible around his head and immune to guns, tanks
and shells, then how canhe be imprisoned, tortured and persecuted,and
live in great difficulty? How can anyone imprison or mistreat someone
who isinvulnerable to guns andbombs? In addition, our Prophet (saas)
says therewill be a time when Hazrat Mahdi (as) disappears from sight.
If,as they maintain, Hazrat Mahdi (as) were an extraordinary person,
why would he feel the need to hide away and live out of sight?
The hadith of our Prophet (saas) compare Hazrat Mahdi (as) to the
Prophet Yusuf (as) with regard to the way that he will live hidden
from sight and be imprisoned,and to the Prophet Musa (as) with regard
to the way that he will face intense dangers and live with the threat
of death,plots, arrest, detention and exile.
Imam Zayn al-Abidin stated: "There are some similarities between our
Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] and Allah's messengers. He has similarities
to each one of prophet Nuh(as), Ibrahim (as), Musa (as), Isa (as),
Ayyub (as) and Muhammad (saas). He has similarity to NUH (as) in
having a long life;to IBRAHIM (as) in havinghis birth being hidden and
his staying away from the public; TO MUSA (AS) IN HIS STATE OF FEAR
(THE INTENSITY OF DANGERS DIRECTED TO HAZRAT MAHDI (AS); HIS BEING
FACE TO FACE TO ALLKINDS OF DANGER LIKE MURDER, PLOTTING, ARREST,
TAKING INTO CUSTODY AND EXILE) AND HIS CONSTANTLY SPENDING HIS LIFE
HIDING ; to ISA (as) in people being in conflict about him (some
people will say Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come while others will say he
will not); to AYYUB (as) in being delivered to salvation after trouble
(Hazrat Mahdi (as) will also suffer many difficulties, diseases and
trouble; however just like Prophet Ayyub (as) he will be saved by
Allah's mercy); to Muhammad (saas) in his standing up with his sword
[our Prophet's (saas) holy relics like his holy standard, sword and
cardigan will be with Hazrat Mahdi (as)].
(Qamal al-Din, p. 322, Section 31, Hadith number 3)
Sadr al-Sayrafi says: I heard Imam Abu Abdullah Jaffar al-Sadiq say:
He said: "THE OWNER OF THIS TASK [THE HAZRATMAHDI (AS)] WILL HAVE A
RESEMBLENCE TO YUSUF (AS)]." AND I SAID: "IT IS AS IF YOU ARE TELLING
US OF A DISAPPEARANCE OR ASTONISHMENT."
(Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani p.189)
Abu Bashir says: I heard Imam Muhammad Baqr (as) say: "HE WHO
POSSESSES THIS OCCULTATION [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL HAVE THE SUNNA OF
FOUR PROPHETS. ONE SUNNA FROM THE PROPHET MUSA, ONE FROM THE PROPHET
'ISA (AS), ONE FROM THE PROPHET YUSUF (AS) AND ONE FROM THE PROPHET
MUHAMMAD (SAAS), may the peace of Allah be upon them all.
I SAID: WHAT IS THE SUNNA OF MUSA (AS)? HE SAID: TO WITHDRAW AND HIDE
AWAY . I SAID: WHAT IS THE SUNNA OF 'ISA (AS)? AND HE SAID: WHAT IS
SAID ABOUT 'ISA (AS) WILLALSO BE SAID ABOUT HIM . I SAID, WHAT IS THE
SUNNA OF YUSUF (AS)? AND HE SAID: IMPRISONMENT AND OCCULTATION . I
SAID, WHAT IS THE SUNNA OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SAAS)? HE SAID: HE
WILL FOLLOW IN THE PATH OF THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH WHEN HE APPEARS .
ONLY HE WILL ELUCIDATE THE WORKS OF THE MESSENGEROF ALLAH... I said:
How will he know Allah's approval? And he said:"Allah will manifest
His mercy in his heart."
(Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani, p. 191)
Our Prophet (saas) even received a sword blow and one of his teeth
wasbroken. Many prophets were martyred on Allah'spath, many companions
and members of the Ahl al-Bayt were martyred on the field of battle or
else lost hands, or eyes or other parts of their bodies. SINCE NONE OF
THE PROPHETS HAVE BEEN SENT WITH SUCH EXTRAORDINARY ATTRIBUTES IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE TO CLAIM THAT HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL BE SENT WITH SUCH
WONDROUS ATTRIBUTES.
Allah reveals in the Qur'an that some people from the tribe of our
Prophet (saas) claimed that an angel should come down as proof that
the Prophet Muhammad (saas) was actually a prophet. After that, He
reveals that our Prophet (saas) was simply a human being sent as a
warner, a messenger:
Perhaps you are leaving aside part of what has been revealed to you
and your breast is constricted by this because they say, "Why has
treasure not been sent down to him OR AN ANGEL NOT ACCOMPANIED HIM?"
You are only a warner and Allah is Guardian over all things. (Surah
Hud, 12)
In another verse it is revealed that people who denied the prophets
generally demand to see angels as a condition of belief:
Why do you not BRING ANGELS TO US if you are telling the truth?' The
angels only descend with the truth and then they would be granted no
reprieve. (Surat al-Hijr, 7-8)
Allah also reveals in verses of the Qur'an that everyone will have
recording angels on either side of them. IN THE SAME WAY THAT NOBODY
IN THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD CAN SEE THE RECORDING ANGELS ON EITHER SIDE
OF PEOPLE, IF JIBRIL (AS) WHO FREQUENTLY BRINGS REVELATIONS COME
WITHOUT BEING SEEN TO PEOPLE, THEN JIBRIL (AS) AND MIKHAIL (AS) AND
THE46,000 OTHER ANGEL HELPERS ALONGSIDE HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL NOT BE
VISIBLE, EITHER.
One hadith narrated from our Prophet (saas) says that an angel that
will help Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be invisible even to him:
He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will follow in the footsteps of our Prophet
(saas). THERE WILL BE AN ANGEL WHO HELPS HIM WITHOUT BEING SEEN. He
will restore the weary and help the weak.
(Futuhat Al Makiyya of Ibn Arabi, Ch. 366)

Fathwa, - Hadeeth about offering advice to the ruler

Question
you have mentioned this hadith and i want it reference and
authenticity . the hadith is "Sa'eed ibn Jubayr once asked Ibn 'Abbaas
both, whether or not he was obligated to enjoin the ruler to do what
is good, and forbid him from doing what is evil. Ibn 'Abbaas both,
answered that if he feared he would be killed, he was not obliged to
do so. Ibn Jubayr repeated the same question thrice andevery time Ibn
'Abbaas' answer was the same, but he added that if it was inevitable,
he shouldadvise him privately."
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
isHis slave and Messenger.
This Hadeeth was reported by Sa'eed ibn Mansoor in his Sunan andby
Al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab Al-Eemaan , and by Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah in
his Musannaf but with the wording: "…..a man said to Ibn 'Abbaas
…...". We have not come across any scholar who either classified it as
Saheeh (sound) or as Dha'eef (weak).
However, many scholars tend to provide it as evidence and this
suggests that it is authentic according to them, or that the wording
that it contains is confirmed in other authentic Ahaadeeth, likethe
one reported by Ibn Abi 'Aasim in his book entitled "As-Sunnah" from
'Iyaadh ibn Ghanm that the Prophet said: ''Whoever wants to give
advice to the Sultan (leader/ruler), he should not do that in public
but he should take him by the hand and go into seclusion with him. If
the ruler accepts his advice, then that is good and thisis what is
required, and ifnot, he (the adviser) has fulfilled his obligation. "

Fathwa, - Specifying an hour and fifteen minutes as a time gap between Maghrib and ‘Ishaa'

Question
We live in a Muslim-majority city in which there are five mosques.
Some of these mosques proclaim the Athaan (i.e. call to prayer),
especially the 'Ishaa' Athaan, according to Al-Aqsa prayer times while
the other mosques raise the Athaan an hour and fifteen minutes after
the Maghrib prayer. This means that there is a time gap between the
Athaans of the city's mosques of 20-25 minutes and this incurs
inconvenience and confusion among people.This is especially the case
in our old mosque wherethe Mu'ath-thin (i.e. callerto prayer) insists
on non-compliance with Al-Aqsa prayer times like the rest of the
mosques under the pretext that hehas been calling the Athaan at that
time throughout the years (and is not willing to change it). Please
note that we know that the accurate time of the 'Ishaa' prayer is when
theold mosque's Mu'ath-thincalls the Athaan (and not like the rest of
the mosques), but we only seek to maintain order and avoid any Fitnah
anddiscord among Muslims in the city's various mosques. Please advise
us in this regard and we will print your Fatwa anddistribute it in the
five mosques in our city, Tamra.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
isHis slave and Messenger.
The time of the 'Ishaa' prayer begins when the red twilight disappears
from the sky. 'Adullaah ibn 'Amr ibn Al-'Aas reported that the Prophet
, said: " The time for Maghrib lasts until the twilight has faded and
the time for 'Ishaa' lasts until midnight. " [Muslim]
Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet , said: " The time for Maghrib
starts with sunset and lasts until the twilight has faded. The time
for 'Ishaa' starts when the twilight has faded and lasts until
midnight. " [At-Tirmithi]
The time interval between Maghrib and 'Ishaa' differs according to
various seasons. It maybe long or short, approximately an hour and
fifteen minutes to anhour and thirty-five minutes.
The criterion here is the visual sighting. Whenever the red twilight
fades away, the time of Maghrib elapses and the 'Ishaa' prayer becomes
due. There is noharm in adopting specificprayer times as long as you
are sure of their accuracy.
Moreover, there is no harm in adopting Al-Aqsaprayer timings if they
areproven to be accurate and as long as your city and Al-Aqsa share
the same sunset time. You should not calculate the 'Ishaa' prayer's
time by simply performing the prayer after the passage of an hour and
fifteen minutes after the Maghrib prayer all year long. The time gap
between the Maghrib and 'Ishaa' times differs for various seasons, as
stated above.
At the same time, Muslimsshould be keen to foster unity, brotherly
love exchange sincere advice and denounce blindly following the
habits if they contradict the Islamic Sharee'ah and incur nurturing
discord and disunity among Muslims.
It is unbecoming of Muslims, especially if theylive in one country, to
raise the Athaan for the same prayer in the city's mosques with such a
long time interval (i.e. 20-25 minutes)!
This incurs confusion andinconvenience, especiallyfor women and those
who are exempted from performing the congregational prayer at the
mosque (due to a valid Sharee`ah-acceptable excuse).
Instead, they should all agree on one time to proclaim the 'Ishaa'
Athaan in all the mosquesof the city; let it be at the beginning time
of 'Ishaa' so as to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet so as to avail of
the most primary function of the Athaan (i.e. reminding people that
the prayer is due).
Ibn Qudaamah said in Al-Mughni, " It is recommended to proclaim the
Athaan at the prayer's beginning time in order to remind people of its
due time so that they can get ready to perform the prayer. Jaabir ibn
Samurah said that Bilaal never delayed the Athaan (fromthe prayers'
beginning times ). "
Hence, competent scholars and experts should be consulted to verify
that Al-Aqsa prayer times are accurate. If they were found accurate
and corresponded with your city's prayer times (and the sunset time in
Al-Aqsais identical to that of your city), they should beset as
standard and be adopted by all the mosques in the city. If not, then
each Mu'ath-thin should strive to make the visual sighting of the red
twilight as it fades away or adopt approximate prayer times.
