Have u ever look up into the sky and say to yourself how beautiful Allah swt has created this world?? Well i did. Each time when i look up into the sky i will thank Allah swt for his beautiful creations of the world and the humans. You can see how much Allah swt loves us for example; giving us shelter by creating trees and creating a breeze of wind to keep us cool. All this nature created by HIM just leading humans to use their creativity given by Allah swt to invent mechanism to make this world a better living. By now, you as a Muslim will noe how great Allah swt is.
Last weekend,wen i mt LianaLin n zOorah we had alot of topics tht we talk abt but one topic tht attracts me to share which is yoga. Im nt sure whether u eva read this frm emails or the newspapers but i tink i did read it sumwhere. Do you u noe tht yoga and our 5x daily prayers have similarities? well they do. Most movement of yoga is similiar to our prayers. By juz doing our 5x prayers we are actually doing 'yoga' in ISLAMIC way where we will gain 'pahala' frm HIM as well as feeling calm n relax while we r praying to Allah swt. Btw yoga is a form of exercise by Buddism. So as a Muslim, it is juz nt rite to b involve in this. It is better we perform our daily 5x prayers more afdal.
I juz want to add here that it is just sad seeing tht terrorism spoiling the image of ISLAM. But ISLAM will stand strong as long as we the muslims will uphold our religion in the right way and show the world that ISLAM is nt the religion to start unwanted wars and killing humans which is nt in the wrong. So as for me proudly being a muslim trying to send a message tht do noe the bckgrd of the activity tht u r doing so dat we will nt be in the wrong path. And lastly, let us uphold the good name of ISLAM tht we will nt collapse or threaten by this insane terrorism.
[[As a muslims 'Believe in yourself, Believe in Islam, Believe in Allah swt.']]
A muslim frm Albania ask a question: Is Yoga permissible or not? Answer:Wa`alykum As-Salaamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh. In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear brother&Sister in Islam, we would like to thank you for showing keenness on knowing the teachings of Islam, and we appreciate the great confidence you have in us. We hope our efforts meet your expectations.
With regard to your question, Sports are basically Halal and permitted in Islam as long as they do not encompass forbidden acts. As for Yoga, it contains certain religious rituals aiming at educating and disciplining the soul. Moreover, those who practice it claim that there is a spiritual contact between them and some hidden spirits in which they themselves believe. Given all this, practicing Yoga by Muslims is Haram.
