Friday Sermons

Yeah, fasting was also the topic of our khutbah today; and how beneficial fasting in general is for believers.  He also touched upon those who are planning to slaughter should not clip nails or remove hair from the first of Dhul Hijjah, which I assume should be this weekend -  insha'Allah.

For today's khutbah, the imam spoke about the importance of forgiving and to not keep oneself separated because of an argument.  He urged the congregation to make peace with those whom we have an ongoing grudge with, especially in these holy days of the Hajj and Eid al-Adha.  Finally, he brought up the importance of the Day of Arafat and the virtues of fasting on that day.

abuayisha wrote: Our khutbah focused on the prohibition of body tattoo and piercing - changing Allah's creation:    �May Allaah curse the women who do tattoos and those for whom tattoos are done, those who pluck their eyebrows and those who file their teeth for the purpose of beautification and alter the creation of Allaah.� (al-Bukhaari, al-Libaas, 5587; Muslim, al-Libaas, 5538).

salaam alykum!
Were there cases of Muslim women getting tattoos at that time?

The community had hardly enough to eat and life being so primitive where did the instruments for tattooing and plucking came from?

Are some of the most pressing issues facing the voiceless Muslim people around?

I am just curious would you ask the imam next time you see him...what would he recommend for a young woman  suffering from Poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)? That would let the girl look like a bearded character if not covered by niqab! And btw which Muslim of today will marry her if she doesn't do the whole state of the art hair works?

Isn't the wife supposed to make herself  beautiful for her husband?
I will be waiting for an answer anxiously till next Friday!

No, it is not rhetorical... it is real case I am talking about, nothing to "sigh" about  abuayisha
