I had to quit karate when I did Shahada. They did bowing the same way as we do Rak'ah. I saw it was haram. Haram to me also was that I leveled to sempai before I became muslim and I didnt want to get worship of anykind to myself.

Stand proud you're Muslim

Rukuh is mentioned in the Quran so many times, it’s one of the pillars of salat. And here we are people taking it lightly. The sahaba didn’t even bow to the kings, and now days people wanted to bow for a mere martial art and for respect of culture

When I begin to teach our system I will change the bow. We don’t really bow though, we just nod our heads with our eyes facing each other. Is this permissible or should I change it when I teach it? I want my lessons to be correct with Islam

Mike Hunt PARTICLE PHYSICS IN HOLY QUR'AN The word " ذرة " used in this verse means itom. Smaller than itom indicate that there are particles smaller than itom. Itom contains electron and proton and.These particles are smaller than itom. و قال الذين كفروا لاتأتينا الساعة ، قل بلى وربى لتاتينكم علم الغيب لا يعزب عنه مثقال ذرة في السموات ولا في الأرض و لا اصغر من ذلك ولا أكبر إلا في كتب مبين o ( سبأ : ٣) Those who disbelieve say: The Hour will never come unto us. Say: Nay, by my Lord, but it is coming unto you surely. (He is) the knower of the Unseen. Not an itom's weight, or less than that or greater, escapeth Him in the heavens or in the earth, but it is in a clear Record". (Qur'an.Saba:3) Modern science knew this fact in 20th century. Who can say 1450 years ago that there are particles smaller than itom? Only Almighty Allah Who created these particles. Higs Boson particle is also created by Allah. It is not God. If yon see meaning of ذرة in Arabic dictionary you will come to know that this word means itom. It is written in all English-Arabic dictionaries. You don't know Arabic. Learn and study more. It is in your interest to believe in Almighty Allah and worship Him only and believe that prophet Muhammad is His last and final messenger. We believe in Jesus( pbuh) that he is prophet of Allah not God. Jesus never claimed the dignity. He was a Muslim and preached Islam as every prophet did from Adam to Prophet Mohammad(pbuh). Mohammad( pbuh) very clearly told his followers that he is a man like others but Allah choosed him and made him His last and final messenger. Muslims do not worship Mohammad but they worship Almighty Allah as prophet Mohammad ( pbuh) taught them. Jesus like Mohammad taught his followers to worship Allah only. The word father means the Lord. In Arabic He is called as رب( Lord)not God. Hope it is very clear now for every followers of prophet Jesus(pbuh) If we Muslims do not believe in Jesus as a prophet we are not Muslis and not acceptable to Almighty Allah. If a follower of JESUS wants to go in Paradise after death they should revert to Islam earliest possible and work as prophet Mohammad taught otherwise they may not enter into Paradise.

Is karatae jaez for women

Why not hugs and kisses though?

How comes in many middle eastern country they greet each other with hugs and kisses when it's not permissible? Jazakallah

Its not bowing its a stance and an attack mode

Alright. So if it is said that you have to obey the rule of the land. Then how a mere vowing to a person to show respect to a person in a country where this is a norn is so bad! Is it not a bad advertisement of islam?

My question is when Allah created baba Adam he asked all the angels , the jhins and all to prostrate to him although not in worship but in respect(correct me if i m wrong) So won't it be wrong that we say we can't bow in respect Because what According to prophet ,we conclude that we should shake hands when we meet with frnds ryt About elders bending should have been permissible if the first paragraph I wrote is correct and kept into account

_So if I score a goal and my teammates are coming to hug me to celebrate the goal, it is not permissible too?!_

Think about it this way.... It's an acknowledgement; a sign of mutual respect.. It's weird as hell to hug and kiss your teacher. It's weird to shake hands everytime there's a demonstration. Yes, it's a bow but no, it's not supposed to be prostration. If it feels like you're prostrating, you need to leave that school

Sticking to boxing refuse to bow down to anyone but Allah martial arts needs to change its rules for muslims or we shouldnt participate in this kufar

There is no bowing in karate.. i am black belt.. you should not do bowing in karate...

DEMONSTRATION OF THE EXISTENCE AND ONENESS OF GOD 1- introduction and divine uniqueness 2-existence of God 3-rules of application. 1- First of all, let us define reason and see its reliability: reason consists in understanding, ordering, prohibiting or administering through its distinction between good and evil to reach the reasonable one who serves and does not serve. Let's see if reason is reliable:everyone of good reason confirms that reason is educated by its environment from a young age in order to distinguish good from evil,true from false,it starts with: fire or needle hurts, milk makes good, then truth and lie, with internal and external verification by experience, then we generalize to the extension of reason (like happiness and unhappiness) and to the abstract by returning from time to time to the experience of reason by recognized examples, so we can say that reason is reliable. As for the ego, the self, it has its importance in my subject, because it compares and seeks (in cooperation with the reason) the ideal, the most powerful because the top is the most reasonable for him otherwise if a strong thing is not enough for him,he will get tired of it and look for something stronger than it, he'll be unhappy, in relative insecurity, because he's looking for the solid pillar, hence the expression "in myself something" to say that it's not satisfactory. Definition of worship in religion: to submit oneself to a being or a thing by love and veneration, to believe that it is useful and harmful (we see the link with the definition of reason and its combination with the ego and that then we live to worship anything and in a correct and reasonable way we seek "summit" happiness (for the ego, the summit is the most satisfying for the heart-ego) through that being or that thing since we take the reasonable). Definition of a god:a god is a being or a thing that we worship or is worshipful (worshipful=which deserves to be worshipped),we will be satisfied (this is the goal) to take the definition of a god as a being or a thing that is worshipful Equivalence "a god" and "he is a creator (from nothing)": A creator (from nothing) is a god: everything around us is made up of already existing elements, so creation from nothing is superior and it is the most impressive form of creation so it is summit (the heart and the ego confirm), so any creator from nothing is a god. Every god is a creator: if a god was not a creator then he would not deserve to be a god because God the Necessary Being (see part 2) is a creator (the creator see 2), therefore superior to that god, therefore that god does not deserve (for reason and ego) to be a god, he does not bring anything more, hence every god is a creator.Hence the equivalence. God the creator, the necessary being is the summit for the heart-ego: if he had a superior then that superior would be unknown, erased, moreover for the heart-ego it would imply that the necessary being is no longer a god (the heart-ego sees higher) therefore no longer a creator whereas it is the necessary being (contradiction) therefore that superior is not a god therefore is not a creator therefore God is uncreated and is at the summit. God is unique: if there were two different gods (at the summit), then either their will is different, then either each god applies his will (as they are gods it applies to the whole universe (not erased god)) then it is impossible (if their will is different at the same point),seeing the universe as it is without defect, and it is harmonious( else:if the different will of each god at a same point applies we then have a form of contradiction, from which we have the same will (contraposition)) and If one of the two gods imposes his will on the other, then the other is weak and therefore is no longer a god (contradiction), so their will coincides on everything, so it means that one flatters (strokes) the other, so it makes the ego-heart feel a weakness of this god in its power, so is no longer a god, so there is only one god, or again: if the two gods have their will which coincides in every point ,then they constitute a god of their union but God being at the top (the ideal), an indivisible god who creates, possesses and administers everything by himself is more impressive than several gods together, hence God is unique in every case. This reasoning applies even if there is a universe we do not know, because God (worshipful) must act everywhere otherwise he is no longer a god. 2-existence of God: There is an administrator for the universe:any example:a palace hyper organized in decorations,arrangements,household,if you are told:this palace does not have a butler(administrator),you will answer:it is not possible that it happens by itself without anybody,your distinctive healthy reason rejects it (you are not crazy),therefore all the more so (a fortiori): (organization much, much better than the palace) all the organization and harmony of nature and the universe make you reject that there is no administrator for the whole universe (we can already say that it is unique, the cycles and others are the mark of the same author, for example nike is the mark of a single manufacturer, example of all the atoms of the universe same process therefore same mark therefore same author), so there is an administrator for the whole universe, and even it is obliged to think that otherwise it is chaos,. ..and many many other examples like the ship without a captain,... there is a creator of the universe: You see a humanoid walking around and you're told no one created him. You're not crazy. Your reason will reject that.So a fortiori,all the more so Your good reason will reject that man has no creator.So There is a creator of the universe, and so on throughout creation, but again the whole universe has the same mark (like nike), so the same author, so the creator is unique and the administration of his creation is the same (layout, arrangement of the way of creating) so the creator is the administrator. As He is unique, He is the great owner of the universe, and He is the one who makes the rules of the universe (such as the instructions of the electrical appliances (operation, maintenance), so it has been proved that the universe has one Lord (the Creator, the owner and the administrator) and He is the only one who deserves to be worshipped, so He is the only God. Otherwise, as God the Creator is at the top, He is also the owner and the administrator. All this is the domain of the reasonable and if you come out of it you are no longer in the reasonable (chaos). Conclusion: Divine existence and oneness are then demonstrated by reason, but reason does not say everything that God wants from us, hence the prophets and messengers. 3- Application: The verse of the Qur'an that says that there is no god except Allah means that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah, so it means that there is no imperfection on any face, so the Qur'an, its word, has no imperfection since it is one of its characteristics and therefore one face of its perfection, Therefore, by the perfection of the Qur'an (read it in Arabic to see this reality and its explanation) and the uniqueness of the true (you must respect the rules of this book if you are honest) you must take the best interpretation of the verses and the Sunnah (path) of the Prophet (the Qur'an calls to follow the Prophet therefore apply his hadiths (hadiths=words in Arabic) and you must reconcile between the verses (of the Qur'an) and the verses, and verses/hadiths hadiths/hadiths (authentic) because the truth is quite unique and the best sought after is perfection (so correct yours intentions), for example the thief the penalty starts at 1/4 gold dinar, it costs (recently) 39€ for its weight in gold whereas a meal costs 5€, source: the pious predecessors (rule: the Koran says to follow the prophet and the prophet spoke of the first three generations which are the best and he said (ask your heart for clarification), and Allah calls in the Koran to the good and known between the good people (conciliation), etc,. .go on with the rest of the rules of Islam if you are honest (seek the best, perfection, truth, conciliation). There are rules in Islam and if you don't follow them you find imperfections (which reflect your bad intention), while when you correct your intention you find perfection (it exists, scholars communicate it to each other, I have been reading books about Islam in Arabic for a long time, I testify and I testify that this perfection exists. Why don't you take it if it is possible and the rules of Islam are to take it, hence your attacks are unfounded since this is not what God and his prophet mean (i.e : your words that it is imperfection). ..

I wonder why allah being all knowing could not have done a better job....here scholars have to take the call... remember he said this was his final message...so even an ordinary person would have done better...Yasir Qadhi says holes in the narrative...30 plus different Qurans officially ..this after burning various other versions... Allah should have chosen a direct language like English which doesn't have root meaning like in Arabic/ sanskrit...if this was representative of any other religion ZN would have torn in into bits... problem is all people look at other religions with a different yard stick and change the measure when it's their own religion..... instead of searching for the truth what one ends up doing is defending his religion.... after all there is one God ....I mean if you are a good human I don't think you need to worry about minor irritants....
