what is the meaning of the hadith and what is the respond to it 

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 799:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet used to copy the people of the Scriptures in matters in which there was no order from Allah. The people of the Scripture used to let their hair hang down while the pagans used to part their hair. So the Prophet let his hair hang down first, but later on he parted it.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,

I am not sure about these types of Hadiths.  While the Hadith that you mentioned has no harm, because it only talks about a personal preference of style and mood of the Prophet, peace be upon him, at certain times (we all have our different and ever-changing moods and styles), but I don't believe it is authentic.  I believe it could be one of those gossips that were attributed to the Prophet, and have found their way into our so-called "Sahih" collections.

I mean seriously?  The Prophet's hair??  How relevant is that to Islam and the Divine Message of Allah Almighty to Mankind?  This type of silliness is dangerous when putting the Prophet's life under a microscope.  People could end up idolizing him.  It is also not fair for Islam; Allah Almighty's Divine Religion to the lost mankind.  It also opens a lot of door and room for colorful lies and gossips to spread about the Prophet.  And even if the information was true, it still allows for very unnecessary information to be told about him.  It has more harm than good in it, because:

1-  It will end up distracting both the Muslims and non-Muslims from studying Islam the right way.

2-  It will allow for a lot of misunderstandings and misconceptions about Islam to be born (trying to force every bit of a 7th century lifestyle into our modern world today).  Yes it's great to be like the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.  But it's not right to try to copy every detail about him like that.  This is a form of idolatry.  It's more than just mere reverence and respect for the Prophet.

3-  It will open the door for a lot of lies to be told on the Prophet, whether by good intentions or bad.  They still remain lies and/or inaccurate accounts.  Bukhari and other "Sahih" collections do contain dangerous lies on the Prophet.  I've covered this in details before at:

http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,1166.msg4047.html#msg4047

4-  And like I said, it is not fair for Islam!

Read the Holy Quran and you'll see that we are instructed to not become brainless robots.  On the contrary, Allah Almighty Commanded the Muslims to:

1-  Ponder upon the Miracles of Allah Almighty.
2-  To talk about the Favours of Allah Almighty upon us to mankind.
3-  To spread the Divine Religion of Islam to mankind.

Not to talk about the Prophet's hair.  May I suggest the following links to research for you:

www.answering-christianity.com/ac20.htm#links
www.answering-christianity.com/islam.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/convert_christians.htm

These stories distract the person from studying Islam the right way.  I say it's either silly people spreading unnecessary information and gossips about the Prophet, or it is false gossips and innovations about the Prophet's private life.  Either way, it is wrong.

I hope this helps, Insha'Allah.

What the heck is the book of revelation anyway is it someone on  a acid trip writing a book

what is the history of this book

and why do Christians believe in it so much

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,

Please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm.  I've gone through most of the Bible's books and gospels in the NIV Bible and several other Bibles, and listed what the theologians and historians said about those books.  The book of Revelation is among them.

The Bible is both corrupt and doubtful.  Even its own theologians admit that it contains ample man-made injections and fabrications.  No serious person could take all of it as a complete and perfect authority from GOD Almighty.  And while you're at it, watch my debate to see what Islam says about the Bible at:  http://www.answering-christianity.com/ac6.htm#links.

And last and not least for the reader, please visit this link to see the Overwhelming Scientific Miracles in the Glorious Quran: http://www.answering-christianity.com/ac20.htm#links.

I hope this helps, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).

Wa Alaikum As'salam dear brother,

As always, hateful anti-Islamics spewing lies and hate against Islam.  The Lord Jesus Christ is the heir and the ruler and the king of this earth only, according to the Bible.  He is the king of kings of this earth only, dear brother.  This is where satan also, when he tempted him for 40 days and 40 nights (the Bible says GOD can not be tempted), satan offered him the rule and the kingdoms of all of the earth.  Satan did not, and could not, have offered Jesus the rule of the entire Universe.  Please visit:

The GOD Almighty of both the Bible and the Holy Quran is the KING OF KINGS of the entire Universe, not just a king of mere earth.  Also remember that Christ had to be powerful and miraculous to be a match to Melchizedek, who was the Jews' highest priest, who had no father and no mother, and no beginning and no end, according to the very Bible itself in both the OT and NT.  Please visit:

Trinity is false, and it's a blasphemy that only belongs to the garbage.  The doomed-to-Hell polytheist trinitarian pagans are just too desperate to prove this false garbage.  Notice how they're constantly desperate to prove Jesus to be our Creator.  If he were indeed, then the Bible would've clearly spelled it all out!  But when we read what Jesus spoke, and even what the Bible says about Jesus, we see a Muslim who:

1-  Bowed his face to Allah Almighty in Worship, like we Muslims do.  Please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/jesus_hypocrite.htm.

2-  Fasted and prayed like we Muslims do.  The OT also has plenty of verses and stories of Prophets and Believers bowing down to Allah Almighty in Worship, exactly as we Muslims do.  The false garbage of trinity came and abolished all of this, and made idols out of GOD Almighty whether through graven images, or through portraits of Jesus and GOD Almighty.  Please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/que11.htm.

3-  Spoke many times about how weak he is, and that he has no will, and that he's only doing the WILL OF GOD ALMIGHTY.  He even said so in his famous Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Do these words sound like they came from one who Created us, or from a mere Creation?  Please visit:

Furthermore, when Jesus was asked about when the Hour will come, he replied by saying that only GOD Almighty Knows, and that no one knows, and that Jesus himself also didn't know.  Please visit:

http://www.answering-christianity.com/questions.htm
http://www.answering-christianity.com/ac7.htm#links

Jesus spelled it out clearly that he knew NOT.  And as to calling GOD Almighty "Father", and that Islam denies that GOD Almighty is an ACTUAL FATHER to anyone, in Islam GOD Almighty is called:

1-  Rab - Lord, Father (you are the Rab of your home for being the husband and the father).

2-  Wali - Guardian.

In the old Aramaic and Hebrew, GOD Almighty was called what-is-equivalent-to-Islam our Rab and Wali.  But that doesn't make GOD Almighty our actual Father.  This is exactly as Judaism metaphors such as idolatry is equivalent to spiritual adultery.  No Jew is actually married to GOD Almighty to actually commit a personal marriage-adultery against GOD Almighty!  Yet, the Jews use metaphors like these.  Islam came to straighten all of this out and to set the record straight that GOD Almighty has no son and no daughter.  Otherwise, why would GOD Almighty torture us to Hell if we were His perfect sons and daughters??  No imperfect being could be an actual son of GOD Almighty (and no being is the son or daughter of GOD Almighty, period!):

[005:018] (Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of God, and his beloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- of the men he hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and to God belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)"

FRIENDS = SONS:

In fact, we further read the following in the Bible:

Isaiah 41:8
"But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend,

Chronicles 20:7
Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?

James 2:23
And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.

So being GOD Almighty's "SON" in the Bible is equal to being GOD Almighty's "FRIEND".  Now compare this to the following from the Holy Quran:

[002:257] Allah is the friend and patron of those who believe. He brings them out of the depths of darkness into light. While those who do not believe, have the forces of evil as their friends; they lead them out of light, into the very depths of darkness. Such ones shall be the inmates of the fire. They will stay there forever.

[003:122] (And remember) when the two groups among you lost heart (and almost fell out), even though Allah was their Friend and Protector? In Allah (alone), should the believers place their trust!

[004:125] Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend.

So the Bible's "FATHER" & "SON" for GOD Almighty and the Believers is clearly metaphoric, and it only means that GOD Almighty:

1-  Is the Protector.
2-  Is the Friend.
3-  Is the Guardian.

BEGET = CHOSE:

Regarding the following verse and others like it:

King James Bible Psalm 2:7
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Let us look at Noble Verses 27:59, 3:33, 3:42, 7:144, 22:75, 35:32, 38:47, 39:4 from the Glorious Quran:

[027:059] Say: Praise be to God, and Peace on his servants whom He has chosen اصطفى (for his Message). (Who) is better?- God or the false gods they associate (with Him)?

‏27:59 قل الحمد لله وسلام على عباده الذين اصطفى ءالله خير اما يشركون

[003:033] God did choose اصطفى Adam and Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of 'Imran above all people,-

‏3:33 ان الله اصطفى ادم ونوحا وال ابراهيم وال عمران على العالمين

[003:042] Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God hath chosen thee اصطفاك and purified thee- chosen thee above the women of all nations.

‏3:42 واذ قالت الملائكة يامريم ان الله اصطفاك وطهرك واصطفاك على نساء العالمين

[007:144] (God) said: "O Moses! I have chosen thee اصطفيتك above (other) men, by the mission I (have given thee) and the words I (have spoken to thee): take then the (revelation) which I give thee, and be of those who give thanks."

‏7:144 قال ياموسى اني اصطفيتك على الناس برسالاتي وبكلامي فخذ ما اتيتك وكن من الشاكرين

[022:075] God chooses يصطفي messengers from angels and from men for God is He Who hears and sees (all things).

‏22:75 الله يصطفي من الملائكة رسلا ومن الناس ان الله سميع بصير

[035:032] Then We have given the Book for inheritance to such of Our Servants as We have chosen اصطفينا: but there are among them some who wrong their own souls; some who follow a middle course; and some who are, by God's leave, foremost in good deeds; that is the highest Grace.

‏35:32 ثم اورثنا الكتاب الذين اصطفينا من عبادنا فمنهم ظالم لنفسه ومنهم مقتصد ومنهم سابق بالخيرات باذن الله ذلك هو الفضل الكبير

[038:047] They were, in Our sight, truly, of the company of the Elect المصطفين and the Good.

‏38:47 وانهم عندنا لمن المصطفين الاخيار

[039:004] Had God wished to take to Himself an (actual) son, He could have chosen لاصطفى whom He pleased out of those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is God, the One, the Irresistible.

‏39:4 لو اراد الله ان يتخذ ولدا لاصطفى مما يخلق مايشاء سبحانه هو الله الواحد القهار

You are partially right Deut 32 is addressing the Gentles all the gentles not just the Arab, where you are wrong is reading more into the text then is there.

It is Jesus Al Masih the greatest of those whom are anointed meaning there could not be another after him is the one whom all the gentle nations of the earth are blessed as was promised to Abraham. The Disciple John already warned us if anyone would deny this they have the spirit of antiChrist.
1 John 2:18

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,

The Gentiles in the context of the Bible's New Testament are the Palestinians (in the immediate context), and the rest of the Arabs in Syria, Jordan and all of Arabia, and in the Old Testament are the Muslims.  The Greeks were just called "Greeks", and the Romans were just called "Romans".  But the Arabs were always called "Gentiles".  When Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, failed with the Jews and turned to the Gentiles, he turned to the Arabs in Palestine (i.e., the alestinians).  Yes, Gentiles means more than just Palestinians, but in the Bible's immediate context, it's the Palestinians when speaking about:

1-  The Gentiles whom Christ dealt with and turned to after the Jews failed him.

2-  And the Palestinians are Arabs, and they've always spoken Arabic.  And naturally, Jesus would've spoken with them in Arabic, even though the Bible makes no mention of this.  But it is beyond clear that Jesus spoke far more Arabic than Greek.  His primary language would've been either Aramaic or Hebrew.  But the secondary, if not equally primary, language that he would've spoken in Palestine would've been Arabic, with the Gentiles.  Arabic was the Gentiles' native language in Palestine.

However, the Gentiles whom the Servant from Arabia (see my post above) , in the Old Testament, will be the Light of, are the Muslims throughout the World.  Why do I say this?  It's because:

1-  Islam is the One and Original Faith that Allah Almighty sent to mankind from the very start of mankind.  Please visit:

www.answering-christianity.com/convert_christians.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/islam.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm

2-  This Servant will be given the "Book" according to the Old Testament.  This Book is the Holy Quran!  Quran in Arabic means GOD Almighty's Revelations, or Book.  So "the Book" in the Bible means the Quran.

Again, please visit: www.answering-christianity.com/predict.htm

2-  The Arab Servant (Prophet) that the Bible prophesied about indeed converted his followers to Islam.

As to the anti-Christ point, this desperate lie and nonsense, by the missionaries, had already been thoroughly refuted and exposed here: http://www.answering-christianity.com/1john2_22.htm.

As to the point about Christ being the final Prophet, yes we believe in that.  We believe that Jesus Christ will come back to finish off all evil.  But Prophet Muhammad and the Messiah were clearly prophesied in the Bible.  Again, please visit: www.answering-christianity.com/predict.htm.

As'salamu Alaikum everyone,

Prince Khaled Bin Al Waleed Bin Talal is the son of one of the top wealthiest men in the world, and a big celebrity.  Currently in his mid 30s, Mr. Khaled is a rising celebrity in the Middle East and the world.  This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, since he is his father's only son.  He has a sister.  But the one who will ultimately take over the father's CEO position and lead the business is Khaled.  The following are the new domains that I added to the website:

www.KhalidBinAlwaleed.com - He was the Companion who was given the title "Sword of Allah" (Saifullah) by Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.  No other Companion was given this title.  And indeed, he is the Leader who crushed both the Persian and Roman Empires afterwards.

If only one of these multi-billionaires would sponsor my dream project of spreading Islam to the West, then that would be great, Insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).  I would most prefer for him, if he ever reads this, to keep the money that he may allocate and I simply mail him the receipts to pay.  I don't want, and I won't accept, a single dollar to my pocket!  Allah Almighty is my Witness.

Assalamualykum.

 I'm still confused about these verse:

  And the sun and the moon are joined,(75:9)

 Even if it is talking about solar eclipse, why it says that sun and moon will be joined? We know during Solar Eclipse, the moon comes in between the Sun and the Earth. Moon is not joined. Please, can you explain this in detail?

Wa Alaikum As'salam dear brother,

It is possible that the moon will eventually be swallowed by the sun, along with all of our solar system's celestial bodies.  We've seen above already how this Noble Verse is talking about the Great Lunar Eclipse when the Hour Comes.  As to the language of the sun and the moon will be joined together, while it is about a lunar eclipse, but it could also be referring to the moon eventually leaving its orbit here around earth and be devoured by the sun.  You see, the two immediate celestial bodies to us humans that our naked eyes could see up close and personal, from our view here on earth, are:

1-  The moon.
2-  The sun.

And they are the most relevant and vital celestial bodies for our life here on earth.  So if Allah Almighty spoke in limited language about the sun and the moon, it doesn't limit the event to just them.  But to us humans, since these two celestial bodies are what we see in considerable size and clarity from earth here, then they are the most relevant to us.  Plus as I said, they are the most relevant and vital to our life here on earth as well.  So Allah Almighty putting emphasis on the sun and the moon wouldn't mean that the Noble Verse is limited to just them.

As to the Arabic جمع (joined) in Noble Verse 75:9 above, it could very well be referring to being aligned together according to our view and perspective here on earth.  جمع is both a noun and a simple past in Arabic:

1-  جمع means a group for a noun.
2-  جمع means joined together, came together, summoned together, brought together, put together for a simple past.

The Noble Word would be very appropriate and suitable if Allah Almighty spoke about the Great Lunar Eclipse will happen when the Hour Comes.  And we see very clearly from the full context in Noble Verses 75:7-10, in the previous posts above, that Allah Almighty did indeed speak about a Lunar Eclipse will happen when the Hour comes.

I know I've written an article years ago about these Noble Verses.  I will update it with these new posts today, Insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).

I hope this helps, Insha'Allah.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah
