RidawiPress release : The Refulgent Treasure

Herein lies a concise yet astute analysis of Imam Ahmad Rida’s translation of the Quran, Kanz al-Iyman.

The author mentions 20 points which distinguish Kanz al-Iman from all other translations of the Quran. He highlights and walks the reader through the various nuances and subtleties of the translation which may be lost upon the laity but are a source of delight and amazement for those with a keen eye.

The distinguishing aspects of the translation are discussed such as: simplicity of language, translation accuracy, reasons for revelation, consideration of theological implications, upholding prophetic reverence etc. so that laity may also appreciate the translation and benefit from the mastery and genius of the Imam.

@Aqdas could u move my post below to the Irfan Shah thread as I posted it here by mistake

جزاک اللہ خیرا مولانا

the anecdote starts on p 541 but the summarised excerpt is from p542

reflections on celebrations [abu Hasan]

---
new-year days, birthdays and anniversaries...milestones on a path that leads to a deep and rotting pit or a beautiful garden.

-----------------

i can see the joy
and hastening fervent
of those, who go
home triumphant

a warrior, valiant -
returning from the front
a diligent student,
with accomplishment,

and a lover ardent
for a welcome fragrant
a thriving merchant
with his fortune present

but does it warrant
to rejoice frequent,
for those errant -
whose failure patent?

a student, truant,
and a fleeing tyrant
insolvent vagrant
or a lover peccant?

-----
yet, we celebrate our birthdays and have parties on new year's day. for what? for wasting another year? with the knowledge that we inch towards our graves which shall be a garden of comfort for those who strive, and a pit of darkness for those who spend their lives in heedlessness, ghaflah. truly, we have...

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

I came across this. So thought to share it ان شاء الله

Assalamu alaikum
Something that I have discussed with some local ulema. I am attaching the relevant scans here as well from Fatwa Fazul Rasool.
It would be great If Abu Hassan expands on this in his upcoming revised editon/version in sha Allah.

1) The Birth of a Prophet After Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is Mustahil Aradi and NOT mustahil Dhati.
What this means is that Allah could have willed otherwise BUT since He has informed us of His Decree that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is the Last Prophets we know then that the birth of a Prophet after himصلى الله عليه وسلم WILL NEVER EVER be.


2) The Pardon of Kafir is Mustahil Aradi and NOT mustahil Dhati (according to the Asharis).
What this means is that Allah could have willed otherwise BUT since He has informed us of His Decree that mushrikeen will be in hellfire forever, we know the Pardon of a Kafir will NEVER EVER be.

3) Nazir of Prophet Mohammad...

Where can I find this? and how many, a footnote should be added for this, and perhaps all of them listed in the appendix. This will refute the Deobandi claims by liars and detractors that Alahazrat had no teachers other than his father

Can someone please post the duration (number of years) Alahazrat stayed in Makkah and Madinah.

Second Edition Released

Another leading scholar said:

'Superb poster by aH on Deo conflict. This will benefit those who cannot be bothered to read yet talk on this issue.'

sorry for not making the comment properly, actually what I forgot to ask is, what software do you use? and thanks for the info you shared regarding sketches.

I believe this book also needs to published alongside Bad' al-Amali and Who Is AlaHazrat? Excellent work with beneficial appendices clarifying important matters. I'm very skeptical about reading Sirah translations by non-Sunnis. I'll be more than happy to assist financially with this coming into fruition.

this infographic has chronology of 23 years:
i tried to fit on the page but i decided to move it to another infographic for practical considerations. for example, the size had to be a3/a2/a1 for the convenience it affords to be printed anywhere. i chose the timeline to be 63 years, and the space around the last 23 years would be crowded, as most recorded events are in this period. hence it was decided, to move it to another infographic and retain only the most important milestones. the other issue was about keeping the background white, instead of parchment or a faded masjid nabawi pic (which makes it even more noisy and difficult to read).

but the layout of the turkish infog is nice; not surprising, as he is a professional artist.

This is the mawlid compiled by shaykh zaynuddeen sagheer al-ma'bari*, the great shafi'i scholar from kerala.

It has identical or similar narrations and given the shaykh's erudition it can safely be presumed that they are not mawdu' even if they might not meet the standards of the saHiHayn. A keralite shafi'i scholar confirmed this and also told me that the work is based on a similar one written by hujjat-ul-Islam, Imam al ghazzali (raHimahullah).

alHamdulillah, it has the same sunni aqaid which are also taught by our urdu speaking scholars from north India.

Some parts of the recitation are accompanied by the daff, which, in my opinion, is distracting and should have been avoided. However, this is the best one I...

one 'waaw' was missing in the arabic text. it has been added now and the newer images uploaded. please download the corrected version.

also please inform us of any other mistakes you may find.

JazakAllah Khair, didnt know about the site before but yes we need more websites to clarify misconceptions about us and also to stop Sunnis from being misguided.
