Quran the Clear Truth - THE MYSTERY OF IRON

"Indeed We have sent Messengers with clear proofs, and sent down with
them the Book and the Balance, that mankind may observe justice; And
We sent down (Nazala) iron, in which is (material for) mighty power,
as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allah may test who it is
that will help, unseen, Him and His Messengers, for Allahis full of
strength, exalted in might." (The Quran, 57:25.)
It is remarkable that the Holy Quran uses the word Nazala for iron,
stating that it was sent down to earth. Geologists now agree that the
entire energy of our solar system is not sufficient to produce one
atom of iron. Additionally, they state that four times as much energy
as that of our solar system would be needed to make one atom of ironon
the surface of earth. The geologists thus conclude that iron is an
extra-terrestrial material that came to earth from some other planet.
The word Nazala to the early commentators of the Holy Quran was one
the mysteries of the HolyQuran. Recent advancement of knowledge has
changed this mystery of the Holy Quran to a fact of science. Who
besides Allah, Glory be to Him, could have such absolute knowledge
which excels and encompasses all levelsof human knowledge?

Fathwa - Menstruation - How do we deal with depression during awomans menstrual cycle?

Question:
As salamaulaykum,
I am going through a difficult time in my life. Allah is testing me,
and I am patiently waiting for my du'as to be answered. At times of
purity, I am atpeace because I can come to Allah. But during my
menstrual cycle, I am reduced to a state of drepression, self-pity,
tears... I don'tknow how to soothe myself. I can't pray, I can't read
the Qur'an, I can't enter a masjid.
It's a week of hell. What can I do to end my grief? It comes back
every month, andI can't deal with these feelings.
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Dear Sister,
I pray this message finds you in good health and spirits.
First off, if you are suffering from serious depression during your
menstrual cycle, it may be advisable to see an OB-GYN. Some women
experience mood swingsright before and during their menstrual cycles.
However, serious depression is not typical and should not be
overlooked.
The beauty of our way oflife is that the believer is never cut off
from her Lord, no matter what herstate. Even if a woman is
menstruating or experiencing postnatal bleeding, there are still ways
for her to strengthen her iman anddraw nearer to Allah Most High.
While you are menstruating, there are specific acts of worship, which
are prohibited. The reason for the prohibition is the lack of ritual
purity, and not a deficiency in you. There is no reason to be
depressed. It is not a punishment that you can't pray. Rather, it is a
mercy from Allah Most High that He has lifted these obligations from
women experiencing menstrual or postnatal bleeding, while at the same
time not taking anything away from them in terms of reward or good
deeds.
According to the Hanafi School, the acts of worship which you cannnot
do during your period (or postnatal bleeding) are as follows:
1. Prayer, whether obligatory or voluntary
2. Fasting, whether obligatory or voluntary
3. Sexual intercourse, although it is permitted for the husband and
wife to kiss, cuddle, and lay together, as long as the husband avoids
direct contact with the area between her navel and knee
4. Making tawaf (circumambulation of the Kaaba)
5. Entering a masjid
6. Touching the Qur'an
7. Reciting the Qur'an with the intention of recitation
These are the things you can't do. However, there are things you can
do to keep your connection to Allah Most High:
1. Listen to the Qur'an. Either have someone recite it to you, or
listen to a tape or cd.
2. The Hanafi School recommends that menstruating women make ablution
at the time of prayer, sit in a quiet place, and supplicate Allah.
Although the ablution does not lift the state of ritual impurity, it
still puts one in a good frameof mind.
3. Constant remembranceof Allah. Remember that the Prophet, Allah
bless him and give him peace, remembered Allah in all his states.
There is nothing preventing you from supplicating Allah and making
remembrance of Him ( dhikr ). Furthermore, even if the supplications
contain verses from the Qur'an, as many do, it is permitted to say
these supplications, provided that you do so with the intention of
remembrance, and not recitation.
4. Study Sacred Knowledge. It is permissible to handle books of tafsir
(Qur'an commentary), fiqh (Sacred Law), and hadith, provided that they
do not contain more Qur'anic text than commentary.
5. Listen to uplifting tapes and cds. There are many nice productions
to listen to, for example, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf's Purification of the
Heart. Since you're not praying,why not take the extra time to listen
to some of these?
6. Get a sisters' gatheringtogether. Even if you're not praying,
chances are someone else is. Have this sister recite Qur'an for you.
Being in good company lifts one's spirits.
7. Join a class here at SunniPath. Since the courses are available
online, you can log on at your convenience and listen to
traditionally-trained scholars. I can personally vouch for the quality
of these courses. Furthermore, when I felt bad, nothing strengthened
my iman and uplifted my spirits more than going to SunniPath and
benefiting from the blessed knowledge offered in a wide array of
courses.

Fathwa - Menstruation - Praying after a hysterectomy

Question:
I just recently had a hysterectomy due to medical problems, what is
the ruling on praying during the recovery after such a surgery. The
medical limitations are the same as for childbirth with some very mild
bleeding.
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Kind.
I pray Allah gives you well being and a quick recovery.
Menstruation is blood that comes from the uterus, this is true
medically and in the Sacred Law [Marqi al-Falah]. If there is no
uterus, it is not possible for the blood that is seento be menstrual
blood. Hence, the blood you seewould be considered istihadhah or
intermittent bleeding.

Fathwa - Menstruation - Wudu when najas is non-stop

Question:
I have a problem of spontaneous excretionof najas. In other words even
if I finish wudu in about 3-4 minutes a very small particle of najas
may come out. I re-take wudu every time, but I was wondering if I
canat least one full prayer (including obligatory and sunnah prayers).
Otherwise during Isha prayer or Dhuhr prayerI will have to take up to
3 wudus to finish a prayer.
Answer:
Assalamu alaykum
Jazak Allah Khayr for your question.
If one cannot perform ablution and the obligatory prayer without her
ablution being invalidated, then she should follow the rulings related
to the chronic annulment of ablution.
For example, colored discharge continues to exit from a woman during
the Duhr prayer time. If she cannot perform her ablution and prayer
without the discharge persisting, then, she should wait until the end
of Duhr time so that there is enough time to perform ablution and pray
the obligatory prayer.
If in Asr time, her bleeding remains, she must wait until the end of
the prayer time (before the Makruh period) and make wudu and pray. If
the completeprayer time elapses and the bleeding hasn''''t stopped,
she has established her excuse.
To keep her excuse, she must see its occurrence only once within each
succeeding prayer time. If a complete prayer timeends, and her excuse
wasnot seen, then, she has lost her status as an excused person.
A person who is excused must make wudu within every prayer time. She
can pray whatever she wills from the obligatory and non-obligatory
prayers, as well as perform other forms of worship that require wudu.
Her wudu is invalidated by the exiting of a prayer time, or the
occurrence of anything that breaks wudu other than her excuse, or if
she performed wudu for any reason other than the excuse and the excuse
was inactive but returns after making wudu.
