In Cape Town there is a mosque called the 'open mosque'.

Question

In Cape Town there is a mosque called the 'open mosque'. Recently a Christian priest delivered the jumuah khutbah at this mosque where all sexes of all religions gather. What is the status of this whole set up in terms of the Shariah?

Answer

There is not much to comment on this kuffaar temple. The terms, 'mosque' and 'jumuah khutbah' are deceptively used. Those connected with this kuffaar temple are all kuffaar. There are other groups elsewhere in the world who also employ Islamic terminology to deceive ignorant Muslims. This is a satanic trick of kuffaar missionaries to undermine Islam and Muslims.

However, the deception of this particular kuffaar temple is so conspicuous and so stupid, that it cannot deceive any Muslim in whose heart there is a grain of Imaan. The deception is too stupid to succeed in attracting converts.

Those who may have earlier masqueraded as Muslims were in reality born kuffaar. Whilst they will technically be branded murtad, they were in reality kuffaar from the inception of their appearance on earth. Allah Ta'ala had ordained them to be among the eternal inmates of Hell.

RIGHT

In some Muslim societies, it is an incumbent tradition to reduce the daughter-in-law into serfdom. The in-laws regard it as their right to be served on by the daughter-in-law. They deprive her of privacy. In some communities this evil is so degenerate that she is compelled to serve even her brothers-in-law. This set-up is not permissible in terms of the Shariah.

It should also be well -remembered that the Shariah has given the for a separate home where she can live and enjoy her privacy without the interference of her in-laws.

In some societies this is unthinkable. The woman is never allowed this right. Due to age-old customs, ditions, it is believed that women have no such right and that they should live together with and serve their in-laws. But this is decidedly un-Islamic and a gross violation of the Waajib right of the woman.

FEAR FOR ALLAH

"The thunder recites the Tasbeeh of Allah, and the Malaaikah (recites His Tasbeeh) because of fear. He (Allah) sends the lightning which strikes whomever (and whatever) He wills. And they (people) dispute (in the laws) of Allah whilst He is Most Powerful." (Qur'aan)

Allah sent Wahi (Revelation) to the Sea that it should obey Musaa (Alayhis salaam) when he will be striking it with his staff. Thereupon the Sea quivered the entire night because of fear.
