Today's Beautiful Hadith is about Names


Narrated Mughira bin Shu'ba (RA): When I came to Najran, they (the Christians of Najran) asked me: "You read: O sister of Harun" (referring to Hadrat Maryam (as)) in the Qur'an) whereas Moses was born much before Jesus. When I came back to Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) I asked him about that, whereupon he said: "The (people of the old age) used to give names (to people) after the names of Apostles and pious persons who had gone before them."

(Sahih Muslim, Book 38, Hadith 13)

Most of Seville's Muslims who will benefit from Kanoute's gesture are immigrants from north and west Africa. The Islamic Community of Spain confirmed that a last-minute appeal was made to Kanoute after the mosque had been put up for sale. "The worshippers at Ponce De Leon are quite diverse but if it had not been for Kanoute then we would not have had a mosque on Fridays, which is the most holy day of the week for Muslims," a spokesman for the Islamic Community of Spain told the local paper Diario de S...
