What the Muslim Countries Should Learn From Iran’s Stance Against The West

on Thursday, April 18, 2013

It’s not the aid, alliance or amnesty that makes a country great; rather it’s the patriotism, resilience, sovereignty and self respect that makes you stand apart – a little taller than the rest! Whether you are a third world country or a developed industrial one, whether you need help economically or you are one of the helpers; it is your decisions on matters of national pride and patriotism that carve your destiny, not the amount of aid received.

Similarly, it’s the steadfastness in rules and priorities of the leaders that decide a country’s fate. Hence a country’s fate can either be in the benefit of its own populace or sadly, in the benefit of others –a popular case in the Muslim world nowadays. Adoption of controversial policies is not a myth anymore; every now and then we see our leaders taking steps that a true patriot would never take. It’s such a despicable sight that the ones charged with governance always find excuses and reasons for doing so!

My question is, if for example, the policies of Saudi Arabia or the rest of the Middle East for that matter, and now Pakistan in most of the cases were the only doable response to the situations faced; why is Iran still standing tall? Why after all the times that Ahmedinejad has rejected to follow the directions of the US, Iran still works?! And not just that, Iran still has its dignity. It has never been bombarded on its borders in the name of war on terror and it won’t be, because countries like Iran are not that easy to overpower. It is a universally accepted fact that those who do not succumb willingly will not get succumbed with force.

We see numerous examples of Muslim countries from all over the world living and feeding on direct or indirect mercy of the United States or the rest of the west, while we all know that we could do without them stealing our reserves and tarnishing our sovereignty. Pakistan is a country that has been showered with drones in the past few years, yet Pakistani leadership continues to support NATO and American forces by providing safe passage to their supplies. Yes, Osama’s capture was of eminent importance but undergoing a covert mission on Pakistani soil was a direct hit to the country’s sovereignty and dignity. Allowing such an atrocity to take place was nothing less that treachery on account of the leadership – it is not the case if you don’t want to see it that way of course.

Looking at Iran, on the other hand, the country has never tried to sugar coat things; Israel is vile and Iran never holds back from opposing Israel. I am not asking to start a war right away, but identifying the right way to react to things is important. Palestinians deserve their homeland, and it’s such a shameful fact that nearly none of the Muslim countries have ever actually tried to support them. Iran does and they are called terrorist hoarders, but that doesn’t change how they act. Tehran has stood up to Tel Aviv all the time. Iran, like all other countries of the world has a right to defend itself technologically, resource wise or in lieu of arms. No matter how many times the US threatens them of sanctions; the supreme leadership of Iran has never backed down in their plans or opinions.

Our already divided, torn and used up Muslim world sill finds ways to degrade the only examples of courage, we are left with, where actually we should all be following their steps.

What Muslims should learn from the West?

on Monday, April 1, 2013

Islam has complete knowledge of everything. When Allah created this world, 124000 messengers were sent along with holy verses to guide human beings about how to survive in the world. Before Islam, 123999 prophets were sent by Allah to deliver the message of blessing to people. As stated in all religions, human beings are the most wise creature of Allah and Allah has blessed them with everything to sense and judge very well but still there are some limitations, rules and regulations which are implemented by God on all human beings through his special people known as the Prophets. As changes occur on earth and the growth of population, Allah sent his messengers with different ways for spending this life and to guide people towards what is good and avoid what is bad for them. There are four religions preached by the prophets of God and by the arrival of a new religion, the old one was said to be void for people , but all  religions had the similar message from Allah to the followers. But the people of this world denied this void fact , and they kept following old verses and old religions which is against the obedience of Allah.

Most of the countries occupying the west side of the world are comprising the Christian religion, which is the second last religion revealed by Allah and has been abolished by the arrival of Islam. Muslims are the people who follow Islam and are considered as a good nation in the sight of Allah; that is why Allah has given them the power of everything. Muslims are known as the most wise nation which are sophisticated, well mannered and most literate. Muslims are the fathers of every technology developed nowadays with the variation of modernism. As a building and its balance totally depends on its base, similarly Muslims and their inventions are the base of today’s sciences. Everything that is used by a common user was first invented by Muslim scientists and inventors.

Allah has created this world. Allah has created each and every person and all things present in this world. That is why I will not say that Muslims should learn something from the west, no not at all. Muslims should only learn their religion Islam with full passion, and attention where everything is taught.

In the wide terms, it is observed that the western countries are known as developed countries. Christians have each and everything needed for spending a good life, but that’s not truth. The founders of education were Muslims, the founder of every science, the basics of the machines which are used and help mankind and create comforts are all based on Muslim’s inventions. Islam is the only religion which allows to seek, think and act. Muslims are ordered to learn and produce. Islam tells Muslims to discover and invent, Islam believes in charity, harmony and brotherhood, Islam has given orders to maintain and keep cleanliness. Islam is the complete package of instructions which tells everyone what to do and how to do it. Muslims do not have to learn anything form the west. They just have to learn Islam and Quran.

How to learn Islam?

on Friday, January 18, 2013

This would be hard to believe if there was a place where Islam is absolutely unknown. There are numbers of people that are becoming more curious to get some information about this widely spread religion around the world. Most of the time, people are amazed and surprised. Islam is one of the most widespread religions around the world, and one-fifth of the world’s population follows the Islamic way of leading life. Muslims are from various nationalities, races and cultures, but the religion teaches that all humans are equal.

Islam has been misunderstood and misinterpreted by some of the Western countries. The result is visible nowadays, even though it is expected that all these misconceptions will one day be over. However, being Muslim is not just about living life in a special fashion. One needs to learn Islam for better self-control and discipline, as it also requires full dedication towards Almighty Allah and his directions for living life, as mentioned in the Islamic Shariah.

Whenever you learn Islam, you have to believe in all Islamic beliefs. The Islamic religion did not begin from the Prophet Mohammad’s era, nor has it been invented by him.  While learning this religion, you will understand that you have to believe in Almighty Allah’s creation, and the relation of all invisible and visible objects of the universe. You also have to believe that Islam is the way, where you can understand the true reality of life and the role of all Muslims during their lifetimes. There are some pillars or standards for Muslims, which are to believe in Almighty Allah; in all angels created by him; in his creations; in all prophets by which he had conveyed all his messages to Muslims; and in eternal life, which will start after death, the Day of Judgment where Almighty Allah will decide the destiny of all humans.

If you want to learn Islam, you have to do extensive research about its authenticity, effectiveness towards human races and its current usability in regular life. You may not get enough support from the local libraries, as they may not have enough sources. However, you can always start with an introductory book where the Islamic religion has been mentioned on an extensive level. Books that can offer all basic rules, pillars, rituals and prayers will be the right one for you. Besides, you have to make sure that the book is not biased, and it will be perfect if it has been written by a Muslim.

You can also meet with other Muslim people to learn some of the basics of Islam. To make it happen, you can go to a local mosque in your zone and visit them during prayer times. This can be a good opportunity to engage in a conversation with other Muslims and learn a few things in the process.

There is another method of learning Islam, which is to visit Islamic centers. You can make contact with them to determine whether they are able to understand your purpose of learning and understand the ethics of Islam. They will likely invite you to go there to offer the best possible Islamic education.  Another important aspect will be reading the Holy Al Quran. Try to learn and recite this holy book as much as possible.

Why should we Learn the Muslim Language?

on

The Arabic language is also known as the Muslim language. Arabic has also been regarded as one of the most extensively used verbal languages around the world. Yet, this language is often too complicated to learn if you are not from Muslim-centric countries. Staying in foreign countries is also another reason for not being familiar with the Arabic language. The necessity of translating the Arabic language has never been emphasized much.

History of Arabic Language and its usage:
The Arabic language originated from Semitic languages, which contain significant portions of Hebrew. The Arabic language had been the national language for Muslims from ancient times, during the period of Muslim downfalls that happened in the 7th century C.E. Arabic is also used for making the verbal communication of the Holy Al Quran. Muslims oriented countries like Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Tunisia, etc., and some other countries of the Mediterranean have been using the Arabic language as their primary language for both education and verbal communication. At present, Arabic is used by trillions of people from all over the globe.

What is the significance of Arabic Language?
The Muslim Language, or Arabic language, has been the main source of verbal communication for most of the modern age. It used to be the language for diplomats and scholars as they needed to understand and talk about Arab regions. Besides, Arab nations used to be good zones for doing business; therefore, people from other countries – except the Middle East – used to look for a good translator who could understand the language and translate them into another language. In recent times, for some political conflicts, usage of the Arabic language has risen up way more than in previous eras. Reportedly, the Marines and Army of the USA have had to assign Arabic translators, so that they could make interaction with the native village people or tribal leaders. Besides, many international organizations had to work here; therefore, their workers also needed to learn this language.

Function:
There are several ways to learn the Muslim language. You just need to choose a specific way, which can be relatively easy to execute, and determine how you will implement the process. The most common method of learning and understanding the Muslim language is to sign up for an academic course or enroll into an online Arabic language academy. The best method is to contact someone who has relatively good depth on the basics of this language. It is always helpful if you can fine someone who has enough knowledge on the usage of Muslim language, and how it can be learned with ease.

Selection of a Muslim language Academy:
Whether it is an online or offline Arabic language academy, you need to figure out if the institution is good enough to provide quality education. Check out some reviews, as they will help you in this process. All professional academies must have enough facilities to accommodate students, with some time flexibility. Online academies, especially, will offer 24-hour schedules, as they are offering courses for students of all around the world.

Learn Muslim Culture and learn about the virtues of Itikaf during the month of Ramadan

Learn Muslim Culture and learn about the virtues of Itikaf during the month of Ramadan

As a Muslim, we always claim that we fully understand what is expected from us by our religion and its rules and regulations. However, it is quite unfortunate that we most of the time do not even know what is allowed and disallowed in our religion. This is also the reason of our not understanding what the religion wants us to practice and why. So, it is our utmost duty to get a better understanding about the religion and understand how this would contribute to the rewarding promised to us by the almighty Allah.

If we want to keep things pretty simple and also limit the discussion to the point, we need to know the basics about our religion and Muslim culture. This article intends to the blessings and rahmat promised to us by Allah in this coming month of Ramadan and also the virtue of a special act in this month named as Itikaf. This special religious act is of special virtue and is needed to be performed while residing inside a Mosque by a group of people.

By the name of Mosque you should already get an idea about the holiness and sacredness of the task. However, there is some common conclusion that usually the people doing Itikaf can have a greater way of doing their religious activities and prayers with greater impact. Which is in fact quite true as the person who is doing Itikaf in the holy month of fasting or Ramadan, is eligible to offer salat for the people attending the salat prayers at mosques and therefore can achieve an amazing reward that increases the virtue of salat for him by 27 times. Since he is away from any earthly matter for a few days, it is even possible for him to do the whole praying act with complete devotion and full peace of mind.

Again, the people who are not doing Itikaf and staying at home can obviously do all the religious acts and prayers that a person doing Itikaf can do. However he cannot definitely join the peaceful congregation like him and might always be rushing towards the mosque for saying prayer. Therefore, the expected consistency and devotion towards salat will be missing in him.

Therefore, Itikaf is absolutely necessary in the holy month of Ramadan as it makes it really easy for a person to concentrate fully on the prayers and employ the required devotion for Allah. The person doing Itikaf is called a Mutakif and he can solely devote himself to the almightly Allah as he breaks all the ties from the outside world and can induslge completely in saying prayers and worshipping the holy creator.

Allah has announced special rahmat and blessing for the Mutakif who are doing this sacrifice only for the sake of their love towards Allah and Islam. May Allah bless them all.

Learn Arabic Language Vocabulary easily

on Wednesday, July 25, 2012

There are many ways of learning Arabic but one of the easiest ways that people tend to do to learn the Arabic vocabulary is to use pictures with the Arabic words written underneath or above the picture on a flashcard or piece of paper. But this is might not help you if you do not have a little knowledge of the Arabic alphabet. Once you start take lessons for beginners in the language, you will start to use very wide amount of the basic vocabulary.

By seeing the pictures, you will be able to match the word with the picture therefore making it easier for your brain to recall. This allows your brain to translate the word into your own language in your own mind. You can also use a computer or anything electronic to create your own lists based on these images which you can look back to at any time. An addition to seeing the images associated with the Arabic language vocabulary, you also need to know the pronunciation of these words. If you attend an actual practical class in your local are, the tutor will or should help you with the pronunciation of the Arabic vocabulary.

This help can be given or requested when you use certain software or take an online course in Arabic when you choose a course that has a listening component. In lots of these courses, you can click on the image to hear the word or phrase spoken by a native Arabic speaker. This is very essential and needed, to learn the vocabulary of the Arabic language because it isn’t good enough or formal, just to be able to read the word. You must be able to pronounce the word and understand it when you hear people talking in Arabic. Playing games with vocabulary questions or clips will also help you learn the words much faster than if you memorize them as the brain assigns memorable fun with words

Playing games, such as a memory or matching game, you will have fun and learn at the same time, this allows the brain to have maximum exposure to learning. You may not even notice or realize how much you are actually learning until you play the same game again and you know most of the vocabulary words. Learning through songs is also an enjoyable method of learning vocabulary in Arabic; this creates patterns so the brain stores information easier. There is an alphabet song such as the English ABC that will help you learn the alphabet as well as short rhymes and songs that children sing. The tunes have catchy rhythms, which makes them easy to remember. Never try to rush learning the vocabulary or you will get worked out and not know the basics.

Me, You and Everybody Can Learn Arabic

on Monday, July 23, 2012

Me, You and Everybody Can Learn Arabic

Learning and speaking Arabic as a native speaker isn’t a talent. It isn’t limited to specific person rather than it’s a goal that everyone can achieve it by easy ways.

Decision-making.

First of all, you can’t learn anything while you won’t learn it or you don’t love it. If not, that will be just wasting time. It’s important to determine your goals and motives. Why do you want to learn a language first? Why do you want to learn Arabic specifically? Also, ask yourself. Do you want to learn by self-education? Or by teamwork? What are the resources you learn from? And how much time will you spend in learning? Do you want to master Arabic in six months or eight months? How many hours are you free in your normal day? Three hours or four hours? Before you answer all these questions, don’t try to start learning and tire yourself out.

Look at this simple table as an example of planning importance. After you get a schedule like this, you can start learning Arabic.

Saturday

I’m free from 3:00 pm until 5:00 pm

Sunday

I’m free from 3:00 pm until 5:00 pm

Monday

I’m free from 3:55 pm until 4:30 pm

Tuesday

I’m free from 3:55 pm until 4:30 pm

Wednesday

I’m free from 3:00 pm until 5:00 pm

Thursday

I’m free from 7:00 pm until 11:00 pm

Friday

I’m free from 7:30 pm until 9:15 pm

The First Week

I’ll study 10 words.

The Second Week

I’ll study letters and Al-Tashkeel system.

The Third Week

I’ll study 25 sentences.

The Forth Week

I’ll study 25 sentences.

The Fifth Week

I’ll study three grammatical rules.

From where do I start?

Usually, people make mistake in learning language by studying letters first, some words then going to grammar quickly. That’s a big mistake. Earlier than start learning letters, numbers, words, sentences and grammars, you have to make your eyes and you ears get used to the new language (Arabic language). As an example, look to and scrutiny Arabic texts before you start learning Arabic letters. So your eyes are getting used to Arabic texts instead of feeling tired from the first learning to letters or finding Arabic letters difficult. For instance, memorize five words and their writing way before you identify what Arabic letters are. Like (مرحبا, صباح الخير, مساء الخير, وداعا, حظ جيد). That makes you unconfused and comfortable. Cause you got your experience before in an easy way. As well, listen to Arabic programs/ radio even you don’t know what they’re saying to practice your ears. Otherwise, memorize five words and their meanings then try to pronounce them well. Say it to your friends in your normal life. So, when you start learning grammars, writing way or pronouncing way, you won’t feel puzzled.

Try to write these words and pronounce them ahead of starting learning anything else.

Hello.مرحبا.
How are you?كيف حالك؟
I’m fine.أنا بخير.
What do you do?ماذا تفعل؟
To another meeting/ good bye.إلى اللقاء.

Instead of this, you can choose your own words too.

Which is more important than another?

Until now, you’re taking the right steps. However, what must you do in the next step? Study Arabic alphabet and all what is relate to it like reading.  Also, you have to learn Al-Tashkeel system that’s helping you in reading and pronouncing words because learning letters only in Arabic doesn’t help so much in the pronunciation. Following that, build your vocabulary and grammar to be able to make your own sentences. In addition, to gather between learning vocabulary and learning grammars, you can learn sentences not individual words or grammars. Memorize words that are mentioned in the sentences and study how the words are linked to each other in one sentence and to hit two birds by one stone.

At first, Study about 50 – 100 sentences then it’s the time study grammar individually and words individually. In that time you won’t find learning grammar individually difficult. Learning sentences at first is important because when you don’t have vocabulary, you can’t carry out the grammar rule and when you don’t have grammatical rules, you can’t gather words together in one sentence. That’s why studying sentences first then grammars and vocabulary in an individual way is the right step. Nevertheless, while studying grammar and vocabulary, don’t forget to improve your reading and listening skills. They’re strengthening your grammars and vocabulary together.

What if I fail?

What if you find yourself can’t understand a grammatical rule? Or you start feeling it is difficult? So that time, you should take a rest and revise all what you studied before only and in deep. Learning deeply makes things easier to understand. That’s why revising it’s important. Condense free reading time and free listening time three times. Subsequently, return to what you didn’t understand again. You’ll find it easier. Otherwise, if you still can’t understand it, this is the time to get a teacher. Make a teacher explain it to you and answer all your questions. Cause you can’t stop until you master Arabic as you planned.

Guidelines to Learn Islamic Culture

on Monday, July 9, 2012

If you want to Learn Islamic Culture, you ought to know about the term of Islamic Culture and its peculiarities first.  Culture is known in Arabic Language “SAQAFAT’ that is derived from the word “SAQAF” that mean sagaciousness or rationalism in real to train or to educate or to overcome any of the deficiency.

Different Philosophers define it in different ways. Ragib Ali Beroti expresses that culture is the complete and proper way of correction, which appear in human being on a climax. T.S Eliot describes that culture is the name of literary sophistication that relates to any specific person who enjoys pinnacle. Bishop Wilson concluded that culture is the name of struggle had for sagaciousness and the will of Allah. Matthew Arnold defines that culture is name of climax had in any of the techniques that is achieved by untiring effort of the earth dwellers.

To Learn Islamic Culture, you must understand where it starts from. It starts from the life span, education and training of the Holy prophet (PUBUH) who spent the whole life to reform the people and their mode of lives and brought humanity to the climax that is the real reflection of Islamic Culture.  The circle of Islamic Culture is limited up to the Holy Qur’an. The human being remains indifferent because of the Holy Quran, his style, manner, his company, sittings and leading the way of life totally is well mannered. When keeping himself saved from non-sacred and violent things he shows his good manners here starts the Islamic Culture.

Belief in Oneness keeps a fundamental place in Islamic culture; means Kalima Tayyab is considered the start of Islamic Culture, by recitation of the same Kalima the human being become the member of the Islamic Society and culture. This is the reflection of a culture when one accepts the Oneness and acts upon all the commandments of Islam with its genuine right and is shown in different from other races by being pious.

After the belief in the Oneness of Allah, the most important point is Risalat (Apostle Hood). Every Muslim should follow all the saying and doings of Holy prophet as Allah has said in the Holy Quran that “Indeed you are the statue of morality”. It is to ponder over when the Holy prophet is the statue on the Morality right from there the Islamic Culture starts. When the concept of doomsday comes in the minds of the Muslim he determines himself not to commit such type of Sins, cruelty, or any other bad thing that may cause other Muslims troublesome and that is the actual requirement of Islamic Culture that strengthen the Muslim to have good deeds.

In the eyes of Islam human being has got three degrees; Supreme in Creature, Prostrated by Malaik and the representative of Allah. That reward makes him to prostrate and bow down before Allah and become pious one as Allah has said the nearest amongst you is who is more pious.

Culture means sagaciousness and rationalism and correction of the deeds, when you compare that these all things are found in Islam to greater extent therefore the Islamic Culture is qualitative in characteristics.

on Wednesday, June 20, 2012

For any person who wishes to read the Quran, they need to keep in mind that they have to learn the Muslim language. This is because the Holy Book is written in Arabic and hard for one without the knowledge to understand it. All over the world, Muslims use this language in the mosques and other centers of worship to share the world of God and interpret it fully for the followers to understand it. From new converts to those who were raised in Islamic families, everyone has the right to know this language. Some find it hard but with time, they get to interpret the codes and master the word.

Here’s A Quick Way to Learn Tajweed and Perform Fardh-e-Kifayaah

on Wednesday, June 13, 2012

The meaning of the word Tajweed is to improve something or make it better. It is the application and knowledge of the rules of the recitation of Qur’an like as the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recited.

To learn science, you need to get adherence to its principles first. In the same manner if you want to Learn Tajweed, you ought to understand the principles of tajweed. Tajweed has two definitions such as linguistic definition through which you could understand the meaning of Tajweed as “Betterment”; its second definition is applied definition, which resembles that, articulating each letter through its original articulation point as well as providing the letter its distinctive rights and dues.

The holy words of the Qur’an and Honorable Hadiths are its formation. It preserves from faulty mistakes of pronunciation of Qur’an during recitation. Due to its relation to Allah’s words, it is one of the most honored sciences in the Islamic Law Sciences, which are related to the Qur’an. As per practical point, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) set its rules as the Qur’an revealed upon him from Allah, with Tajweed, to teach his familiars then to their followers and now it came to us through these chains. As per scientific point, the rule setters of Tajweed are scholars of the Qur’an, like as Abu Ubaid Al-Qasim bin Sallam.

Its knowledge is fardh-e-kifayaah, which means that some Muslims must Learn Tajweed, whereas its applications are fardh-e-Ain, which applies to all Muslims men and women who even memorized only a Surah of the Qur’an. Its rules are guarding and preserving the Qur’an from distortion. After the spread of Islam, Muslims became afraid as Non Arabs mixed with Arabs and Arabic language becomes corrupted due to intermixing. To preserve the Qur’anic recitation from mistakes and to guarantee the integrity of pronunciation of the Qur’an, it became mandatory to put down Tajweed rules.

Its principles chiefly divided in four parts such as:-

  1. Knowledge about articulation points of letters.
  2. Knowledge of each letter’s characteristic.
  3. Knowledge of changing of rules on every change of the order of letters.
  4. Exercising and repetition and tongue exercise.

Tajweed’s application as well as its rules can only be studied independently by reciting and listening or under the supervision of a qualified Qur’anic teacher so that your mistakes could be corrected accordingly. Unfortunately, many people do not have the proper knowledge of Tajweed. During the period of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), there was no requirement to study Tajweed as their talking was natural and as per the application of Tajweed because it was normal for them. At this time, colloquial Arabic is altered radically from classical Arabic in which Qur’an revealed, and now Arabs are willing to Learn Tajweed just like non Arabs.

If you want to Learn Tajweed, to recite Qur’an properly and as per applications of Tajweed, you ought to find qualified Qur’anic teacher who listens you and indicate and correct your mistakes. The qualified teacher of the Qur’an will also guide you about Arabic letters, vowels and proper way of practice so that you could fix your mistakes quite easily.

Learn Islam – The Concept of Blood Money aka Diyya In Islam

on Thursday, June 7, 2012

If you are looking to learn Islam and its various principles then you will love to learn about the concept of Blood Money or Diya in Islam. It is a typical Islamic terminology that refers to monetary compensation, which is paid by the offender i.e murderer etc., or members of his family to the kin group or family of a sufferer. The Holy Qur’an explains the law of Qisas that is retaliation in detail however, advises that the family of the sufferer should prefer compensation that is Diyya instead of Qisas or retaliation.

The holy Quran directs paying Diyyat or blood money strictly in accordance with the law mentioned in the Holy Qur’an. The law of blood money or Diyya is same in both the unintentional as well as intentional murder. The similar concept of Diyyat or blood money was also present in the pre-Islamic era. At that time the diyya was only paid in the form of animals as well as goods instead of cash.  However, the Islam recommended minor changes in the form of diyya that is after the arrival of Islam, the blood money or diyya can only be paid in the form of cash in order to avoid any frauds.

Those looking to learn Islam would also be interested to know the amount of Diyya or Blood money.  Well, no exact amount of blood money or diya is mentioned in the holy scriptures of Islam that are the Holy Qur’an as well as the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. Similarly, the amount of Diya does not vary based on gender, freedom state of the sufferer or ethnicity of the sufferer.

The holy Qur’an leaves the matter of Diya or blood money amount to the family of the sufferer as well the customs of a particular society. The family of the sufferer can demand as much amount as they desire from the offender or the family of the offender. However, if the family of the victim or sufferer forgives the offender, in that case the offender or the family of the offender is not liable to pay any blood money or diya.

The amount of diya or blood money in case of any non-Muslim involvement would also be a matter of great interest for those looking to learn Islam. Well, there is a minor difference of opinion in the four schools of thought. According to the Shafi school of thought, the amount of diya or blood money would be about one third in case of any non-Muslim that is a Jew or Christian if he was Dhimmi. Similarly, according to the Malki school of thought the amount of blood money or diya would be about half in case of Dhimmi non-Muslim. Likewise, according to the Hanfi school of thought the amount of blood money would be the same as for Muslims. Here it is worthwhile to mention that in Yemen the amount of diya or blood money is comparatively higher in case of non Muslims Dhimmi.
