Quote: Why do you have to eat with right hand and if you were bore by mother nature to eat with left then what do you do. And where in the Quran does it say you have to eat with right hand.
Malik's Muwatta
Book 49, Number 49.4.6:
<b>Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Bakr ibn Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you eat, eat with your right hand and drink with your right hand. Shaytan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand." </b>
Thats why we eat with our right hand.
I think it's really excellent that you are asking so many questions mashaAllah, it is with wonder and questions that we gain knowledge. And knowledge especially islamicly knowledge is an obligation on all of us.
I didn't want to answer any of your questions without having any authentic hadeeth or Ayahs from the Quraan. InshaAllah I'll Try to find you some reliable answers whenever Allah Allows me.
I thought i read somewhere someone saying that its ok to eat with your left hand if you are eating with a fork, can you give us the daleel for that please?
Quote:4) Why is it that its far to hard to find any good information on islam and yet its easy to find information on Jesus or any other piece of infor such as computers etc….
What search engine do you use? Sounds like a lousy one , just joking , Maybe you just need to give it some time and try. At home for instance Whenever we don't agree on something and we are all tlking about religion matters such us " The prophet had 10 wives and then I come and I saw I read somewhere 12, and my little cousin who is 11 goes quickly online and tells us the right answer. That's how easy it is to get access to any kinds of information on the net, just as easy as it is finding information about Jesus and Computing. InshaAllah give it a try, it's really not as difficult as you think it is.
Quote:6) I just want to once just once in my life pray to Allah , from deep in side me I know that I am a sinful person , but god or mighty I just want to help the poor and become a good Muslim and pure my soul , how can I take the first step in once again praying and learning the quran.
<b>Allah said : "I am as My servant thinks I am. I am with Him when He makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me a hand's span, I draw near to him an arm's length; and if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him with speed." </b>
<b>"Allah has said, `O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it [i.e. the earth]'".
</b>
What more do humans need in order to realize and understand how forgiving and how mercyful Allah is, Ask of him and InshaAllah he'll answer your call. You said you want to pray to him, don't waste one minute start now, you have a good intention now put it into actions. May Allah increase our Imaan ameen.
