Khawaja Salim Chisti's Tomb in Ajmer Sheriff is located in India. It is referred to as Mini Haj. I have performed prayers and placed flowers and Chadar on the garve. It is very auspicious.Since a lot of people can't afford to go to Saudi Arabia for Haj, the priests say this. Is it true or just a belief.

No, it does not count as Hajj. For a Muslim, giving undue importance to shrines is also forbidden.

OK. the first word came into my mind is "crowd". people falling from the trains.And i know there are a lot of poor people. But also you have great computer engineers. After these i have respect to the Hinduism. In the high-school i read Siddhartha from Hermann Hesse. And i know Ananda Coomaraswamy. Read some of his writings. I know something about Kali-Yuga etc... And very beautiful mandalas.But i hate Bollywood. -: ) I think that you are lucky because india has a great tradition. And i'm a muslim. I know a tariqa in India named Chistiyya. I think there's  tomb there. And i can say some of your cities: new delhi-bombay etc. it's enough i think.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. According to the Quoran, An infidel is a Non-Believer. So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of their faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct? I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope Benedict commanding all Catholics to kill those of other faiths, or leaders of Protestant, Baptist, etc. to do the same in order to go to Heaven! I also have a problem with being a friend to a Muslim when they and their fellow Believers are telling their followers to kill me. Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to Heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be with me?"\n\nJust curious.

my husband went and he cant wait to go back. he is very proud of what he is doing over there...i think part of it is the military brain washed him though. he has a thing about muslims stating there is a very fine line between a muslim and a terroist. And he doesnt trust them. He has killed some and has no nightmares...i know a bunch of people who are glad they went and dont mind going again.

I should know this one off by heart but I have forgotten a lot of it. I think if I remember correctly that they must not have a major criminal record, you need to say that you will provide for them and make sure they have somewhere to stay, they dont extend their stay and they will conform to this countries laws etc.. I cant remember it all but like I have already told 2 other people asking similar thing why not just phone the embassy or if you are asian ask your leader of the your mosque, he will know. best wishes hope you sort things out.

Only Muslims are required to do pilgrimage at Makkah.\n\nIf you are Baha'i, you are not eligible for entry.  Sorry.

There is a great deal of speculation about it, compounded in part by the somewhat odious assumption that this place is so high in its vibrations that it is invisible to ordinary human vision and that only spiritually advanced people can visit/see this place. Still, so much has been written about this place by so many authorities that it is difficult to dismiss the claim (about its existance) out-rightly. Most recently, James Redfield has devoted a whole book to the subject, brilliant as he is. The most recent theory doing the rounds is that this place is located at present not in the Himalayas, as previously speculated, but somewhere in the Gobi Desert. There have also been a substantial number of un-confirmed reports about people being rescued by guardian angels of Shambhala. But we will probably have to wait for some time in future when hopefully more definite evidence emerges to confirm or deny the existence of this place.

Some claim that he moved to France. some say India in Kashmeer. Actually some christians are still trying to get permission of government to dig up one or two graves of saits  which they think can be of Jesus. It is another story that kashmeer government has refused permission to dig those grave. \n\nI do not think they will get much support in west either. Because if that theory is correct most probably jesus turned hindu and his linage very possiobly be muslim today;).

I need more specifics on the question before I can find you the answer.\n\nBut this is some information on the Dajjaal\n\nLinguistically, Dajjaal is derived from the word dajl, which means lying and impostering. Religiously, it refers to a man who is an imposter and who will appear during the Last Days, claiming lordship.\n\nHis emergence is established in the Sunnah as well as the Ijmaa' (consensus). The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "Say: 'O Allaah, verily I seek refuge in you from the punishment of the Hellfire, and I seek refuge in you from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in you from the trial of Maseeh Ad-Dajjaal. And I seek refuge in you from the trial of life and death." [1]\n\n"The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) would seek refuge from him during prayer" [2] and the Muslims have agreed upon his emergence.\n\nHis story: He will emerge from a road in an area between Shaam and 'Iraaq and will begin to call the people to worship him. A majority of the people that will follow him will be from the Jews, women and bedouins. Seventy-thousand Jews from Asfahaan (in present-day Iran) will follow him and he will travel throughout the entire earth, just as the wind blows rain in all directions, except for Makkah and Madeenah, for he will be prevented from entering them.\n\nThe length of his stay will be forty days. One day will be like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week and the rest of the days will be as normal. He is one-eyed (i.e. one eye is good and the other is defective) and between his two eyes will be written KA FA RA (i.e. kaafir or disbeliever). Only the believers will be able to read it. He will bring about great trials, some of which are that he will command the heavens and it will rain and he will command the earth and it will produce vegetation. He will have with him a Garden and a Fire. However, his garden will be a fire, and his fire will be a garden.\n\nThe Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) warned of him by saying: "Whosoever hears of him, then let him distance himself from him. And whosoever has him reach him, then let him recite the opening verses of Surah Kahf upon him" - or - "...let him recite the opening verses of Surah Kahf."

Dear Sara, I'm from the same country, so I know what you are talking about.\nI don't think your personal religion is something related to others, as you know there is a rule in Islam which says "La Ekraah Fi Din" or "there is no force in accepting Islam".\nAnd you shouldn't tattoo your religion on your forehead, so you can buy a bible and read it if you are interested and talk to a pastor or a priest(There are some churches in your country, I can give you the adresses)\nNo one will kill you or your family, as you may know killing part is only for becoming Pagan 'Mortad' and becoming a christian doesn't mean you are 'Mortad', the only one who I know that being announced to be 'Mortad' is "Salman Roshdi" who has published a book agianst Islam and even he is still alive.\nAnyways don't be that strict, we have freedom of speech, we have transexual sergury, we can change our religions...\nI know many people who became Buhdist and no one killed them or their families.\nI have seen some real anti regim people but they are not as afraid as you and no one have ever harmed their families,  don't worry and try to broaden your political view.

They can pray anywhere even in a Church or a Temple, as long as the place is reasonable clean and they are facing the Kaaba.  But, they will not let others pray in their mosques, because non Muslims are not clean, and they are the only one who are!!!! That is one of the reasons who they forbid people from entering their holy cities, but they can go anywhere they wish.

Actually...the oldest known Mosque in the Muslim world is in Mecca...which was first a temple to pagan idols long before Islam declaired it to be their Mosque...see Kabba for details...the Kabba in Mecca has an old meterorite in its walls that Muslims walks around and kiss...they say the blackened stone is suppose to be black from 'soaking' up all the sin...lol? Kinda makes one wonder just why so many people would walk around and around an old ancient pagan temple with a black meterorite in it anyway.

India Gate or know as the All India War Memorial was built to commemorate the death of the Indian soldiers that died during the WWI and the Afghan Wars..Here is the quote inscribed in the Gate\n"To the dead of the Indian armies who fell honoured in France and Flanders Mesopotamia and Persia East Africa Gallipoli and elsewhere in the near and the far-east and in sacred memory also of those whose names are recorded and who fell in India or the north-west frontier and during the Third Afgan War."\n\nMore info\n\n\nLocation South of New Delhi  \nSignificance A War Memorial  \nArchitectur  Simple Arch Shaped  \nBuilt By  Sir Edwin Lutyens \n\n\nA majestic high arch, India Gate is war memorial, built in the memory of the Indian soldiers killed in the World War I. Rising high to 42 metres, this huge arch is located just opposite to the Rashtrapati Bhawan and gives a clear view of the same. \n\n\nThe Highlights\nThe Amar Jawan Jyoti or the Eternal Flame lies beneath this huge memorial gate, which is major attraction of the area. India Gate is a monument of its kind amidst the expanse of sprawling green lawn. There is one famous boat club and a children's park. The India Gate area becomes lively in the evening with locale people with family and friends taking strolls. Children are seen playing around in the Children's Park and eating ice creams. The monument looks more extravagant during the night than in the daytime for the extensive use of lights.\n\n\n\nThe Architecture\nThis majestic building stands on a low base of red Bharatpur stone, which rises in stages to a huge archway. On the top is inscribed INDIA, flanked by MCM and to the right, XIX. There is a shallow domed bowl at the top that was expected to be filled with burning oil on anniversaries (that is rarely done). This massive archway was designed and built by Lutyens, and originally known as All India War Memorial in memory of the 90,000 Indian soldiers who died in the campaigns of World War I, the North-West Frontier operations of the same time and the 1919 Afghan Fiasco. The names of all the soldiers are inscribed on the walls of the gate.\n\n\nNearby Attractions\nRashtrapati Bhavan (the Presidential Mansion),the Parliament House, the North and South Block are not to be missed.

This is a personal response, not a cut and paste, as I hope you will read the full reply.\n\nFirstly, 'Aisha (peace be upon her) was an adult when the marriage was consummated, though she entered into the Prophet's (peace be upon him) house several years before consummation. Her young age distresses many people today, and given the current climate, it is understandable why.\n\nHowever, I ask you a question, who is your frame of reference when you think of a nine year old? Think about this carefully. Have you ever had the experience of meeting a nine year old from Mauritania? Where individuals in their teens are judges and there is no adolescence?\n\nIt should be noted that adolescence is an artificial period that has been injected into the lives of our youth due to the current education system (you can read The Disappearance of Childhood by Neil Postman if you would like further details on this). The reality is that once individuals are pubescent, they are adults. If they act like children, then it is due to their upbringing and social environment.\n\nA key feature of Arabia fifteen hundred years ago is that they were an oral_ culture, and I wonder whether the neurologists you mention have ever met such an individual. They would develop a deep understanding and eloquence in language at a very young age – are you aware of the affect that language has on maturity? They would memorize massive amounts of information (thousands upon thousands of lines of poetry) at a very young age. Did you know that memorizing in youth actually creates more synapses in the brain? The youth of Arabia fifteen hundred years ago fought in battles, got married and took care of their families in their teens. This is historical reality, and was a norm of that society.\n\nTo respond to the statement that doctors say that the organs are not developed – then how is it that the youngest woman to conceive was only five years old? (Such relations are prohibited in Islam as the youngest a woman is considered to be an adult is nine.)\n\nIf you study the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) you will see the wisdom in the marriage. 'Aisha (peace be upon her) narrates over two thousand Prophetic traditions – second only to Abu Hurayra (peace be upon him). Of the one hundred thousand plus companions of the Prophet, she was from the less than ten that issued legal verdicts (Fatwa). She would question the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a way that other people would not, and because of this, we have gained greater understanding of verses of the Qur'an.\n\nTo respond to the various accusations that are leveled against the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), remember that his first wife was twenty five years older than him, and every wife after 'Aisha (peace be upon her) was a widow.\n\nYou may contend that only someone that is eighteen (as an example) should get married. I ask why? If your answer is related to maturity, and I am pretty certain that it will be, then what happens if  maturity is found in some that is fifteen (or younger) – should they be allowed to get married? If the answer is no, then your problem with the marriage lies with the taboos of your society, and not because you think that a nine year old can't make any decisions for themselves.
