2a] Ruling on swearing by the life of the Qur’aan

2a
Fourthly:
If your oath to your brother that he should not sleep in the house was
the result of an argument, then it is not Islamically appropriate.
When you swore that oath, what is Islamically prescribed in your case
is to break the oath and offer expiation for it, because of the report
narrated by al-Bukhaari (6718) and Muslim (1649) from Abu Moosa
al-Ash'ari(may Allah be pleased with him), according to which the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allaah,
if Allaah wills, Ido not swear an oath then see something better than
that, but I expiate my oath and do that which is better."
And Muslim (1650) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased
with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah
be upon him) said: "Whoever swears an oath then sees that something
else is better than it, let him do that and offer expiation for his
oath."
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
These hadeeths indicate that if a person swears to do something or not
to do something, and breaking the oath is better than adhering to
it,it is mustahabb for him tobreak the oath and he hasto offer
expiation. This is something agreed upon. End quote.
And Allah knows best.

2] Ruling on swearing by the life of the Qur’aan

2]
I swore an oath that my brother should not sleep in the house, and I
said "By the life of the Qur'aan,you shall never sleep in the house."
Then he slept in the house. What do I have to do?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
In the answer to question no. 122729 we stated thatit is permissible
to swear by the names and attributes of Allah.
The Qur'aan is the word ofAllah, and His word is one of His
attributes, so it is permissible to swear by the Qur'aan. The scholars
of the Standing Committee said:
It is permissible to swear by Allah and His Attributes. The Qur'aan is
the word of Allah, which is one of His attributes, so it is
permissible to swear by it.
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 1/354
Secondly:
Swearing by the life of theQur'aan is not mentioned, as far as we
know, in Islam, either in the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of His
Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) or the words
ofany of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).
It seems that the one whoswore by this oath intended to swear by the
Qur'aan and spoke in the manner of the common folk when they swear by
the life of that by which they are swearing. What appears to be the
case is that it comes under the same rulings as the ruling on one who
swears by the Qur'aan.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
We have many people who swear by things other than Allah. For example
they say, "By thelife of the Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him)" or "By the life of 'Eesa" or "By the life of Moosa
(peace be upon him)" or "By the life of theQur'aan" or "By the life of
my father's grave" or "I swear by my honour". Please advise me about
that; may Allah reward you with the best of rewards.
He replied: Swearing by anything other than Allah is not permissible.
Rather the oath should be by Allah alone, may He be glorified and
exalted, because it is proven that the Messenger of Allah (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever swears an oath,let him
not swear by anything except by Allah, or else let him remain silent."
And he said: "Whoever swears by anything other than Allah has
associated something with Him (shirk)." Swearing by anything other
than Allah is one of the haraam actions that constitute kufr
(disbelief), but it comes under the heading of minor shirk, unless he
meant that this by which he swore was as great as Allah, or that it
has control over the universe, or that it deserves to be called upon
instead of Allah, in which case it becomes major kufr (al-kufr
al-akbar) – Allah forbid.
So if he said "By the life ofSo and so" or "By the life of the
Messenger" or "By the life of Moosa" or "By the life of 'Eesa" or "By
myfather's grave", or he swore by honesty or by the Ka'bah and so on,
all of that is swearing by something other than Allah, and all of that
is notpermissible and is an evil action.
What should be done is tonot swear by anything except Allah, may He be
glorified and exalted, or by one of His attributes, or by one of His
names. The Qur'aan is the word ofAllah, and the Qur'aan is one of the
attributes of Allah. So if a person says "By the Qur'aan" or "By the
life of the Qur'aan", there is nothing wrong with that, because the
Qur'aan is the word of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted.
End quote from Fataawa Noor 'ala ad-Darb by Ibn Baaz (p. 236-237)
Thirdly:
If a person swears that hisbrother or someone else should not sleep in
the house, then he sleeps there, he has to offer expiation for
breaking an oath (kafaarat yameen).
The scholars of the Standing Committee wereasked:
I swore an oath to someone, saying: "By Allah, you should not
slaughter the animal," buthe did not heed my wordsand he slaughtered
it, andI ate some of it. Is there any sin on me, and is there any
expiation I haveto offer? If there is any expiation I must offer,
please advise me about it.
They replied: If the situation is as you describe, there is no sin on
you for eating from it, but you have to offer expiation for breaking
an oath (kafaarat yameen), by feeding ten poor persons with the same
kind of food as you eat, orclothing them, or freeing a believing
slave. If none of that is possible, then you have to fast for three
days.
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 23/85
Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
I have children and I oftenswear that they should not do such and
such, but they do not respond to my words. Do I have to offer any
expiation in this case?
He replied: If you swear an oath to your children or anyone else, with
the aim that they should do something or should not do something, then
they go against that, you have to offer expiation for breaking an oath
(kafaarat yameen). End quote from Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn Baaz (23/119)

1a] Cancer Killer Fruit

1a]
There was no way the company could protect its profits–or even make
back the millions it poured into research.
As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola
came to a screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved the entire
project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!
Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research
team whose conscience wouldn't let him see such atrocity committed.
Risking his career, he contacted a company that's dedicated to
harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the
whistle.
Miracle unleashed
When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the
news of Graviola,! they be gan tracking the research doneon the
cancer-killing tree. Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of
Graviola–and its shocking cover-up–came in fast and furious….
….The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific
research in 1976. The results showed that Graviola's "leaves and stems
were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells."
Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and
never released to the public…
….Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer
killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind
clinical trials–the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals
use to judge a treatment's value–were ever initiated….
….A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a
recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated
that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon
cancer cells at "10,000 times the potencyof (the commonly used
chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin…"
….The most significant partof the Catholic University of South Korea
report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer
cells, leaving healthy cells untouched. Unlike chemotherapy, which
indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as
stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of
nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.
…A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the
Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human celllines and were
especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers….
Seven years of silence broken–it's finally here!

1] Cancer Killer Fruit

1]
"10000 times stronger killer of CANCER than Chemo".. do share it.. can
save many lives, fill up hopes and build confidence in the patients…
The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous
natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.
Why are we not aware of this? Its because some big corporation want to
make back their money spent onyears of research by tryingto make a
synthetic version of it for sale.
So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him
know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from
time to time. The taste is not bad after all. It's completely natural
and definitely has no side effects. If you havethe space, plant one in
your garden.
The other parts of the tree are also useful.
The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop.
How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker
concealed the secret of themiraculous Graviola tree?
This tree is low and is called graviola ! in Brazi l, guanabana in
Spanish and has the uninspiring name "soursop" in English. The fruit
is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand
or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbetsand such.
The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong
anti-cancer effects. Although it is effective for a number of medical
conditions, it is its anti tumor effect that is of most interest. This
plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types.
Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum
antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is
effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood
pressure and is usedfor depression, stress and nervous disorders.
If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear
why theexistence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans
like you,it's the incredible story behind the Graviola tree..
The truth is stunningly simple: Deep within the Amazon Rainforest
grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor,
and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of
survival. The future has never looked more promising.
Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may
be possible to:
* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy
that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life
The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one
of America 's largest drug manufacturers, th! e fruit of over 20
laboratory tests conducted since the 1970′s! What those tests revealed
was nothing short of mind numbing… Extracts from the tree were shown
to:
* Effectively target and killmalignant cells in 12 typesof cancer,
including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..
* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in
slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used
chemotherapeutic drug!
* What's more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the
Graviola tree selectivelyhunts
down and kills only cancercells.. It does not harm healthy cells!
The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been
extensivelyresearched–so why haven't you heard anything about it? If
Graviola extract is
One of America 's biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search
for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary
healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.
Various parts of the Graviola tree–including thebark, leaves, roots,
fruit and fruit-seeds–have beenused for centuries by medicine men and
native Indi! ans in S outh Americato treat heart disease, asthma,
liver problems and arthritis. Going on very little documented
scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into
testing the tree's anti-cancerous properties–and were shocked by the
results. Graviola proved itself to bea cancer-killing dynamo.
But that's where the Graviola story nearly ended.
The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree–it's
completely natural, and so,under federal law, not patentable. There's
no wayto make serious profits from it.
It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to
synthesize two of the Graviola tree's most powerful anti-cancer
ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what
makes the Graviola so potent, they'd be able to patent it and make
their money back. Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply
could not be replicated. There was no way the company could protect
its profits :->
