Name of Prophet Muhammad is found in the Hebrew Bible!

As Holy Qur’ an informed mankind more than 1400 years ago:

اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الرَّسُولَ النَّبِيَّ الْاُمِّيَّ الَّذ۪ي يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوبًا عِنْدَهُمْ فِي التَّوْرٰيةِ وَالْاِنْج۪يلِ يَاْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهٰيهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَاۤئِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ اِصْرَهُمْ وَالْاَغْلَالَ الَّت۪ي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا بِه۪ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَاتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ الَّذ۪يۤ اُنْزِلَ مَعَهُۤ اُوۨلٰۤئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

Answers to Questions about Sacrifice

You will find the answers to most frequently asked questions about Sacrifice (Qurban), at our “Fatwas” section.

Abrogation (Naskh) and Punishment of Stoning (Rajm)

Naskh, in its literal context, means the act of “bringing two things side by side, and transferring the text in one to the other”. Naskh is also “abrogating something, to be substituted by another.” This is the case wherein a provision in a verse is alleviated by another verse. This first verse is called the mansukh, and the later is the nasikh [1].

Accordingly, the act of a person transferring a text he/she has written, to another place is naskh. Such person removes part of that text, modifies another, and copies the exact wording of the most of the text. The second version abrogates and supersedes the first one. The last book of Allah is revealed so as to supersede the preceding ones. Allah did not transfer part of the provisions in previous books to His last Book, replaced part thereof with better orders, and literally transferred most of them as they are. Allah (SWT) commands:

شَرَعَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الدِّينِ مَا وَصَّى بِهِ نُوحًا وَالَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى وَعِيسَى أَنْ أَقِيمُوا الدِّينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهِ.

Prayer Times In Qur’an

Contrary to what is commonly believed, the day precedes the night. The Glorified Allah (s.w.t.) commands:

لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِي لَهَا أَن تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

“It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.” (Ya-Sin 36:40)

Scientific Proof of Prayer Times in Polar Zones

We learn the following news from visual and written media recently: “Egyptian religion man Yusuf Al-Qaradawi and his team are going to live in Norway for a while to determine the prayer and fasting times at ’45 degrees and upper latitude locations’ where the sunrise and sunset are not regular as in Turkey. ”

Prof. Dr. Hamza Aktan from The Presidency of Religious Affairs Committee made an announcement related to the news:
“We have colleagues from Turkey who visited those locations personally and informed us. We cannot ignore the prayers claiming the times are not due. We should determine the prayer times by taqdeer at these locations… Either Qaradawi or anyone else, whoever that goes there, will face this reality. ”

The “colleagues from Turkey who visited those locations” meant by Mr. Hamza Aktan must have been the scientific committee of our organization lead by Prof. Dr. Abdülaziz Bayındır, who traveled to Tromso, Norway, 70 degree latitude between 12-17 January 2011, long before Qaradawi and his team. The consequences of the observations of our committee are as follows:
