Assalaamu 'alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, I'm sorry to say but that site is a load of rubbish! It should be deleted and gotten rid of as it is nothing more than a site dedicated at spreading fitnah, without giving the other party or personality any way of defending themselves. It is a site dedicated as slandering people, and that itself is worse than gheeybah. May Allah subhaanahu wa ta'ala guide the brothers/sisters who are involved in such filth to come to their senses. I don't think that our beloved Nabiy sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam would have approved of such methods - show me one 'alim ul Haqq who would agree to posting a site such as this rubbish? It does nothing but divides the Ummah into a million different sects (not 73!). May Allah help us All to spend our times learning our Deen from proper sources and stop being involved in the affairs of other people - when we ourselves are in the filth if we are also absorbed in learning about the so called 'deviations' of others - a sense of self-righteousness and nothing more! Fi Amanillah Abu Khadijah ibn 'Umar

Therefore it is advisable to stick to the advice of the Ulamas (Scholars) of Ahlus Sunnah waljama to hold fast to the truth instead of falling into deviation and confusion.

You obviously should know how murky can media REPORTS get. I am a witness to the argument provided by Zakir Naik on Sania Mirza and never once did he even imply that her short attire could be ignored. Infact he quite clearly said that it was wrong. Abumaryam "Mohammad Shafi Aga"@yahoo.com wrote: In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful Assalaamu alaykum, In a news item, sometime back, Dr Zakir Naik, the renowned Islamic scholar, is reported to have said, "Everyone has different levels of modesty. There were tennis players who wore long skirt! s and performed just as well. But personally, I support Sania Mirza as she prays five times a day, so the skirts she wears can be ignored." I admire the Doctor and often listen to his speeches. But that should not mean that everything he says is sacrosanct. He is human after all, and prone to errors. Let us therefore examine his reported quote in Qur'aanic light and see whether it is in conformity with the divine guidance. For, the Qur'aan calls those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed as suppressors of Truth, oppressors and transgressors [refer Verses 5.44, 5.45 and 5.47]. Allah has indeed given mankind the freedom, in this life, not to go by the way laid down in the Qur'aan. By giving the freedom, Allah is only testing mankind. So is Sania Mirza being tested. If she fails the test, the responsibility for the consequences is entirely hers. But the matter of punishing her, for any breach of the divinely laid down dress code, lies with Allah. Since she comes from a country, and goes to such countries to play tennis, which have nothing against her dress in their penal codes, Muslims can do nothing legal to prevent her from wearing her short dress. Nevertheless, since Sania Mirza has gained fame and wealth, she has become an icon, and her actions are liable to be copied by others. Other Muslim girls may think, if Sania Mirza can do it, why not they? Muslim scholars are therefore duty-bound to examine her actions, and publicly condemn them if they are against divine stipulations. Verse 24.31 clearly lays down that a woman should so cover her body as not to display its charm in public. She is moreover asked, in that Verse, not to stamp her feet so as to reveal her hidden charm. As anyone can see, Sania Mirza, playing in full public glare with her short body-clinging dress, is clearly contravening those divine stipulations. Muslim scholars a! re duty-bound to bring this fact to the notice of all Muslims the world over, although they are in no position to prevent her from continuing to play thus. In the circumstances, it is surprising that an eminent Islamic scholar like Dr Zakir Naik should say the skirts, Sania wears, can be ignored. She may be praying five times a day, but Allah condemns those who obey some divine stipulations, and disobey others [refer Verse 2.85].
