Appreciation Statement of UNESCO`s Resolution over Al-Aqsa Mosque

 

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

General Iftaa` Department highly appreciates the resolution issued by the Executive Board of UNESCO confirming Al-Aqsa Mosque and the whole Haram area (Noble sanctuary) as a sacred Islamic site dedicated for the worship of Muslims.

This honorable and historical resolution reflects the worldly conscience`s rejection of oppression, aggression and usurpation of people`s historical rights. It also represents a victory for the Palestinians how are steadfast in al-Aqsa Mosque and other parts of Palestine. We hope that this brave resolution motivates the international community to shoulder its responsibilities towards the Palestinian issue since it is a righteous and just cause not only to Palestinians but also to the entire Muslim nation.

As Jordanians, we are proud of the Hashemite custodianship of Al-Aqsa Mosque since it protects Islamic sanctuaries against judaization attempts and preserves them as historical and Islamic evidence to the rights of Muslims in this blessed land.

We pray that Almighty Allah favors Muslims with retrieving Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and praying there in peace, and all praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

General Iftaa` Department

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the virtue of Laylat al-Qadr?

It is enough to know its great status that Allah revealed an entire surah about it—Surah Al-Qadr. Moreover, the Quran was first revealed on this night.
Allah says {what means}:
"We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power: And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand: Peace!... This until the rise of morn!" [Al-Qadr/1-5]
The Prophet ﷺ taught us to observe I‘tikaf in the last ten nights of Ramadan, seeking Laylat al-Qadr. Whoever worships Allah and revives this night will receive the reward of worshiping for a thousand months—excluding Laylat al-Qadr itself.

Is it permissible for a mother to stop her daughter from marrying a respectable, God-fearing young man because he isn't college/university graduate?

It is impermissible to deny a woman her right in getting married except for a lawful reason, and problems can be solved through dialogue. However, she can file a suit in order for the judge to have a say in that regard.

A pious man proposed to me and my father was hesitant in this regard because he is black, am I sinful if I accepted his proposal?

If the suitor is pious, color isn`t a drawback. However, try talking to your father kindly, so that he approves of your marriage with contentment, and that is better for you.

How does the person praying  perform the prostration (Sujud)?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
It is an act of Sunnah for the person praying to descend for prostration (Sujud) by placing their knees first, then placing their hands on the ground, and then placing their nose and forehead simultaneously. It is obligatory that the toes of the feet be on the ground, directed towards the Qibla. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
