: I`m pregnant. I know that abortion is haram
Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's
Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
RE: 4106: I`m pregnant. I know that abortion
is haram
These are
comments about your answers, (not only for this situation, but always):
Why don’t you
answer the questions, you never did answer any questions. You always go and
give lectures about this and that, so and so 1400 hundred years ago did this
and that.
You want to give
a lecture and recite the Quran and Hadeeth, it is ok, you can do that, but
first answer the question.
For example here,
what the sister should do?
1- She should do this and that . . . . . .
2- She should do this and that after that
3- And so on .
Donot confuse the
people, we know that you know the Quran and Hadeeth.
Thank you,
Wa

Answer:
Tell people what to do
In the name of Allah, We
praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah
guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide
them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
My dear and beloved
brother in Islam, we sincerely and humbly seek your forgiveness and your understanding,
and above all the forgiveness and mercy of our Lord Most High for our severe
and several short-comings in the service of His Cause. Allah is our witness brother, as much as try
to the best of our ability, and as much as we wish to do what is right, we know
and we are the first to admit that we will always always always fall short of
doing justice in the propagation of the Truth from our Lord. We beg and implore you in humility for your
understanding of our humble efforts, and we sincerely beseech our Lord Most
Gracious, Most Merciful to forgive us and not take us to task for our severe
and several shortcomings in the service of His Cause.
Allah says in
the Holy Quran: Chapter 16, Surah An-Nahl Ayat 125: Invite to the way of your
Lord with wisdom and excellent admonition and argue with people in the best manner.
Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Way and who is Rightly
guided.
Allah Says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 103 Surah Al-Asr verses 1-3:
1 By (the Token of) time.
2 Verily man is in loss
3 Except such as have Faith and do righteous deeds, and (join
together) in the mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy.

My dear and beloved
brother in Islam, our understanding is that the duty The Lord Most High has
laid on His believing slaves is to clearly declare the Guidance and Message to
all who are willing to listen to good caution in the best possible manner. Thus our entire effort on this humble forum is
to make sure that we relate and narrate what is documented in the Glorious
Quran and the authentic Sunnah of our beloved Messenger (saws) regarding the
subject in question, and leave the decision on what needs to be done on the
individual.
Allah Says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Israa verses 53-54:
53 Say to My servants that they should (only) say those things that are
best: for the Shaytaan does sow dissensions among them: for the Shataan is to
man an avowed enemy.
54 It is your Lord that Knows you best: if He Pleases He grants you
mercy or if He Please punishment! We
have not sent thee to be a disposer of their affairs for them
Allah Says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anaam verses 106-107:
106 Follow what thou art taught by inspiration from thy Lord: there is
no god but He: and turn aside from those who join gods with Allah.
107 If it had been Allah's Plan they would not have taken false gods:
but We made thee not one to watch over their doings, nor art thou set
over them to dispose of their affairs.
Allah is our witness
brother, neither has Allah made anyone a disposer of other’s affairs, nor has
He commanded the believers to enforce His Will on everyone! Therefore it would not be right, nor in
obedience of The Lord’s Commands that we withhold the right to tell someone ‘they should do this or that, or they should
do this and that after that, and so on!’
We are neither their guardians, nor do we have the right to command
anyone to do anything….we are no more than fearful and humble slaves of the
Lord Most High, striving and trying to the best of our humble and weak ability
to serve in the Cause of the Lord in the hope that our Lord will accept our
humble efforts and save us from the penalty of the Hell Fire.
Whatever written of
Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me alone. Allah Alone
Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Wister
