AL QURAN

O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), who has created you As well as those before you; Do so that you are saved. It is He Who has made the earth A resting-place for you, And the sky a canopy, And sent down water from above With which He brought forth fruits for your sustenance. Do not, then, set up rivals to Allah When you know (the truth). (The Qura'n 2:21-22)

AL_HADITH

Narrated Sahl: The Prophet said, "There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Raiyan, and those who observe fasts will enter through it on the Day of Resurrection and none except them will enter through it. It will be said, 'Where are those who used to observe fasts?' They will get up, and none except them will enter through it. After their entry the gate will be closed and nobody will enter through it."

Topic: Upbringing

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH MOST HIGH

I am divorced with a four-year-old son.  I have been told that most Muslim’s do not regularly take their children to the Musjid until they are five years old.  In addition, the two Musajid in Charlotte do not offer any training for children until they are five years old.  When I have my son on the weekend and when I talk to him on the telephone I read Holy Qur’an to him and Islamic stories.  I have a court date coming up July 12th and I will have to explain this to the judge.  What is the best way and most credible way of doing this?

Dear brother

Assalmu Alaykum

May Allah help you to do what is Islamically best for your child. You can take your child to the masjid at age of four. You didn't tell me about the situation. I don't know who is right. You or your wife. If you furnish me with full information I will be able to help you better.  

Topic: Shaving the new born baby’s hair

alssalaam alykum,

Can I still shave the newborn baby hair after two weeks of delivery.  And do I shave the whole thing or partially.

Assalmu Alaykum

Yes, you can still shave a newborn baby’s hair after two weeks. The Sunnah is to shave on the seventh day of the birth.

Dear brother Assalmu Alaykum May Allah help you to do what is Islamically best for your child. You can take your child to the masjid at age four. Try to see the imam in your area and discuss the issue with him. He may be able to guide both of you better
