Ibn Yunus (399 A.H. / 1009 A.D.)
- His Birth and Early Life:
- His name is Abu Al-Hasan bin `Abdul-Rahman bin Ahmad bin Yunus bin `Abd Al-A`la.
- He was born in Egypt in a respected family in Fustat, his great grandfather having been a companion of the famous legal scholar Al-Sahfi`i and his father being a distinguished historian and scholar of hadith.
- Since his childhood, Ibn Yunus received knowledge. Due to Ibn Yunus’ excellence in astronomy, Al-`Aziz Billah the Fatimid and his son Al-Hakim Bi’amr Allah encouraged him to proceed in his researches in astronomy and mathematics. They dedicated for him an observatory on the peak of Al-Muqattam hills near Cairo, which was equipped with the most modern observation tools.
- Ibn Yunus managed to observe the solar and lunar eclipses in 368 A.H. / 978 A.D.
- He reached the same results discovered by the astronomers of Baghdad. His astronomical tables were distinguished with meticulous calculations and attention to detail, what made them a reference to all later scientists.
- Important Achievements:
- He observed the solar eclipses in the years 368 A.H. / 977 A.D. and 369 A.H./ 978 A.D. These were the first eclipses to be reliably and accurately recorded in a scientific way.
- He determined the secular acceleration of the moon.
- He corrected many theories regarding the inclination of the zodiac, the atmospheric refraction of the sun’s rays and the equinox.
- He managed to resolve many intricate questions of astrometry.
- He was the first to consider secondary parentheses as an alternative of square roots that render mathematical questions very intricate.
- He contributed to making trigonometry as a separate science from astronomy.
- He initiated the tables of tangents and cotangents.
- He invented a new method to facilitate mathematical operations.
- The most important of his inventions was the pendulum.
- Ibn Yunus dedicated all his life in studying and observing the motion of planets.
- Among the most important works of Ibn Yunus in astronomy and mathematics are the following:
- Al-Zij Al-Hakimi (four volumes)
- Kitab Al-Zhill
- Ghayat Al-Intifa`
- Kitab Al-Mail
- Al-Ta`dil Al-Muhkam
- Al-Raqqas
- Tarikh A`yan Misr

Abu Hurairah (May Allah Be Pleased with Him)
Birth and Early Life:
- His name is `Abdul-Rahman bin Sakhr Al-Dausi.
- He was born in Yemen in a poor family. He had no relatives except his mother.
- He grew up as an orphan, who worked for Busrah bint Ghazwan.
- His name before Islam was “`Abd Shams”.
His Conversion to Islam:
- He embraced Islam at the hands of Al-Tufail bin `Amr Al-Dausi and remained with his people (Daus). He immigrated to the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Medina only six years following the Prophet’s Hijrah.
- The Prophet (peace be upon him) named him “``Abdul-Rahman” and often nicknamed him “Abu Hirr”.
- He was nicknamed “Abu Hurairah” because he had a kitten in his childhood, which he used to play with. His mates used to call him “Abu Hurairah.”
His Service of the Prophet:
- Following his conversion to Islam, Abu Hurairah dedicated himself to the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
- He invited his mother to embrace Islam and she accepted his invitation, after the Prophet had supplicated Allah for her. Abu Hurairah was a good and obedient son.
- Abu Hurairah resided in Al-Suffah (a place in the Prophet’s Mosque dedicated to accommodate the poor Companions.) He kept the company of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and seldom did he leave him. He memorized many of the Prophet’s Hadiths, especially after the Prophet supplicated Allah for him not to forget knowledge.
- Abu Hurairah memorized more than 1,600 Hadiths. He used to say: “I memorize Hadiths while my bothers of Muhajirin are busy with their trade and my brothers of Ansar are busy with their cultivation.”
His Interest in Knowledge:
- Abu Hurairah was interested in learning and spreading knowledge. He once went to the marketplace of Medina and said to the people: “What is the matter with you? Why do you stay here while the Prophet’s heritage is being distributed in the mosque?” The people went to the mosque and found nothing but men praying, reciting Qur’an, or listening religious lessons. Abu Hurairah said to them: “This is the heritage of the Prophet.”
- When the financial conditions of the Muslims changed to affluence, Abu Hurairah owned a house and furniture and had a wife and children. However, this did not affect his interest in knowledge, his modesty, and his devotion in worship.
His Piety:
- During the caliphate of Mu`awiah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), Abu Hurairah was appointed ruler of Medina. Such position did not affect his piety and righteousness, as he used to fast during the day and offer optional prayers during the night.
- He often said: “I grew up as an orphan, immigrated while being poor and worked for Busrah bint Ghazwan in return for my provision. I was required to serve my employers in their residence and urge their camels forward when they traveled. Then I married Busrah bint Ghazwan, thanks to Allah, Who has made religion a criterion for evaluating men and made Abu Hurairah Imam.”

As-salaam Alikum,
WE HAVE A SERIOUS SITUATION ON THIS FORUM.
<b>In the past weeks my posts have been edited, altered and whole post deleted by muslimah (the admin on this site).</b>
I am posting this to point out the fact that my posts are being edited, altered and sometimes deleted out of jealousy and hatred from her as she has been transgressing against me a lot lately for the fact that I am pointing out her misconceptions and ignorance in the Shariah (Quran and Fiqh As-Sunnah) and being firm against the kufar and hypocrites who attack Islam and the brothers and sisters.
<b>She is also hiding and deleting the comment that shows at the end of a post once it has been edited, which is a serious matter and the main reason why I am pointing this out to the brothers and sisters that read my posts.</b>
She forgot that Allah (SWT) knows what she is doing and she can NOT hide from him.
She does NOT fear Allah (SWT) and is abusing her authorities as an admin.
Al-Hamdu ll’Allah, he (SWT) have bestowed my with a lot of patience lately to handle her arrogance and ignorance, which is a dangerous combination specially coming from a woman too, Allah (SWT) and the Prophet (SAAWS) told us how to deal with women such as her.
Being patient will not stop me from showing her faults though, may Allah (SWT) help me as they are a lot, Ameen.

-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abu Said Al-Khudri : Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."
The Prophet (SAAWS) was talking to the women that lived during his time and among him, so imagine what the women of today’s are like.
While there are a lot of pious women now a day that fear Allah (SWT) and follow the Shariah, I have come to the conclusion that she is NOT one of them and that is based on knowing her for the past 2 years.
<b>Allah (SWT) is my witness that what I am posting is true and authenticate according to the Shariah (Quran and Fiqh As-Sunnah), and what I have been posting is either for me or against me on the day of resurrection.</b>
<b>If my posts has been edited, altered or deleted by her or similar people, there is nothing against me and all the sins fall on her or whoever is changing my posts from it’s original form and content.</b>
Al-Hamdu ll'Allah I have been posting my threads on a lot of other forums but this is the only forum that an admin or moderator abuses their duties and transgress on me like this.
<b>I will collect my rights from her on the Day of Judgment.</b>
Al-Hamdu ll’Allah.
Here are some Ayat that tell the people who alter the word of Allah (SWT) and his Prophet (SAAWS) what will happen to them and also who are arrogant and plotting of Evil:
Al-Baqara
[59] But the transgressors changed the word from that which had been given them; so We sent on the transgressors a plague from heaven, for that they infringed (Our command) repeatedly.
Al-A'raf
[162] But the transgressors among them changed the word from that which had been given them so We sent on them a plague from heaven. For that they repeatedly transgressed.
Yunus
[15] But when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed unto them, those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, say: "Bring us a Reading other than this, or change this," say: "It is not for me, of my own accord, to change it: I follow naught but what is revealed unto me: if I were to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear the Penalty of a Great Day (to come)."
Ibrahim
[28] Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who have changed the favour of Allah into blasphemy and caused their people to descend to the House of Perdition?
Fatir
[42] They swore their strongest oaths by Allah that if a warner came to them, they would follow his guidance better than any (other) of the Peoples: but when a warner came to them, it has only increased their flight (from righteousness),
[43] On account of their arrogance in the land and their plotting of Evil. But the plotting of Evil will hem in only the authors thereof. Now are they but looking for the way the ancients were dealt with? But no change wilt thou find in Allah's way (of dealing): no turning off wilt thou find in Allah's way (of dealing).
I have advised her numerously for her own sake, but the time of advising is over.
Maryam
[75] Say: "If any go astray, (Allah) Most Gracious extends (the rope) to them. Until, when they see the warning of Allah (being fulfilled) - either in punishment or in (the approach of) the Hour, - they will at length realize who is worst in position, and (who) weaker in forces!
[76] "And Allah doth advance in guidance those who seek guidance: and the things that endure. Good deeds are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best in respect of (their) eventual returns."
