Muslim Matters: New Website

asSalaam ‘alaykum wa Rahmatullah,

It’s been a while since this website has been launched. I guess I am kind of late at doing this. I am backed up on a lot of my emails. So Muslim Matters is a new website about “Discourses in the Intellectual Traditions, Political Situation, and Social Ethics of Muslim Life”. Also I would like to mention that I happen to know half the Writers on the Editorial Staff and Guest Writers. Please visit, read, and enjoy:

Miracle Kid a HOAX

asSalaam ‘alaykum wa Rahamtullah,

NOTE:  Click here before you proceed!

Something cool I saw on the Crescent Youth Forums. Quite interesting I would say. Someone brought up a contention against this video, hinting that it might be hoax perhaps. Allahu ‘Alam. It sure is interesting and if true a miracle from Allah. I remember seeing glimpses of this video almost 5 years ago when I was visiting India (in Bangalore to be exact). The video itself shows a 5 year old kid whom they call Shaykh Sherifdeen Al Khalifa. I saw this video 5 years ago on the market for sale, and taking into account the time it took to record the video create the product put it on the market and all that good stuff, the kid must be about 10-11 years old on the conservative side.

The description ont he video says -

Born from Christian Parents who both converted to Islam after the young boy’s miraculous Islamic birth. The boy stopped breast feeding at the age of two months. He did not go to school but yet he can read the Quran and the Bible. he preaches to a very big audience and converted many to Islam.

Note: Notice the nasheed that is playing int he background. It is the famous poem by Abdullah ibn alMubarak which I uploaded on this blog here.
