[quote]sorry 4 the delay again. let me go Q by Q: [size=1]renaissance.com/issue/content.aspx?id=77 “Only that thing can be a Sunnah which is religious by nature and status”. I believe that anything that Holy Prophet (PBUH) asked us to do must be religious, because prophets do not demand anything from their human capacities. Thus Beard and Walima are religious by nature and status. But in his videos, Dr. Shehzad Saleem says that these are not religious. It creates confusion in the mind. Please let me know how we can determine whether something is religious or not? What are parameters and criteria which make something religious or non-religious?[/quote][/size=1] ur objection on this definition or rule doesn't look correct. If Sunnah is a religious term as it's taken HERE as 2nd source of religion, then it MUST be a religious thing that is being declared as SUNNAH. there's a famous story found in Ahadith that in Madinah Prophet S,A,W, once gave an advise regarding DATES and when it didn't work, he said when reported that I'm here to teach Religious things & not Worldly things. we are not talking about Human Capacities, but type of things; religious or Non-religious. Prophet S,A,W, never demanded Beard as a religious order. the famous hadith says: enlarge beards to look different from Jews. How such a cultural advice can be regarded as a religious act? and there are many more cultural things present in the same hadith for the same reason. Y not they were called as SUNNAH and only Beard is given that HIGH status. Same is the case of Walima. It is another cultural thing that was promoted and many a times it happened that in a SMALL city of Madina that is now inside the boundaries of prophet's Mosque, Prophet himself wasn't aware of the marriages of many of his companions whereas HE must have been ASKED to JOIN the Walima of a his every companion. The parameters and criteria that makes something religious is that All religious orders have a common thing in them and that's our purification whether it's of mind, soul or body or food or anything OR that thing must be a worship act in its nature. Beard n Walima both doesn't fulfill this criteria or condition. & if you'll Q about this criteria in itself, the answer is that it has been deducted from seeing the ALL orders of God & WHOLE things of the Religion. pl let me know if i am able to help u in this regard.[/quote]
