This is a seminar in Tamil giving a presentation on Islam.

Celebrating the birthday of the Prophet is a religious innovation that has no basis in Islam

Islam urges people to allegorically and realistically construct the global world, seek to create means of provisions and earn living by legitimately working in different fields of professions, such as trade, agriculture and industry. The Prophet said, "None would taste much more palatable food than that which one has earned by working with one's own hands. Therefore, the Prophet of Allah, David used to eat from the earnings of his manual labor." Behaving as such would yield one profitable consequences provided he or she is committed to honesty, sincerity in transactions, fulfillment of wages with no delay in time, giving full measurements and refraining from deception, monopoly and usury.

How was the status of the woman in the past? She was a commodity to be bought and sold, disrespected and dishonored. She was sold just like an animal or a piece of furniture; she was forced to get married or commit adultery. She did not inherit or own money; her husband took over her money if she had some without her permission. Some ignorant cultures went even beyond that, in discussing whether she is a human being with a soul and spirit just like a man! After all this, some societies accuse Islam of persecuting and oppressing women, dealing with them in an injustice way. In this film, we are discussing all these points and the way Islam gave women all their rights.

Additionally, some peoples of ignorance differed whether she has a soul like the man.

Sessions on the First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah

The day of Ashura’

The month of Allah al Muharram

Al-Udhiyah refers to the animal (whether a camel, cow or sheep) that is sacrificed as an act of worship to Allaah, during the period from after the Eid prayer on the Day of Nahr (Eid al-Adhaa) un-til the last of the Days of Tashreeq (the 11th, 12th and 13th day of Dhu’l-Hijjah), with the intention of offering sacrifice. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only).” [al-Kawthar 108:2] Al-Udhiyyah is a confirmed Sunnah according to the majority of scholars. A sheep suffices as a sacrifice for one man and the members of his household and his children The kinds of animals prescribed for sacrifice are camels, cows and sheep. Some of the scholars said that the best sacrifice is camels, then cows, then sheep, then a share in a she-camel or cow, A camel or cow suffices for seven people Conditions of al-Udhiyah: 1- The animal should have reached the required age, which is six months for a lamb, one year for a goat, two years for a cow and five years for a camel. 2- It should be free of any faults, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There are four that are unacceptable for sacrifice: a one-eyed animal whose defect is obvious, a sick animal whose sickness is obvious, a lame animal whose limp is obvious and an emaciated animal that has no marrow in its bones" It should be sacrificed at the specified time, which is from after the prayer and khutbah of Eid – not from when the time for the prayer and khutbah starts – until before sunset on the last of the days of Tashreeq, which is the 13th day of Dhu’l-Hijjah It is preferable (mustahabb) for the one who intends to sacrifice not to eat anything on that day before he eats from his sacrificial animal, if this is possible. It is better for a person to slaughter the sacrifice himself, but if he does not, it is mustahabb for him to be present when it is slaughtered. It is mustahaab to divide the meat into three: one third to be eat-en, one third to be given as gifts and one third to be given in charity. The scholars agreed that it is not permissible to sell anything from its meat, fat or skin. The butcher should not be given anything of it by way of reward or payment, The Sunnah indicates that the one who wants to offer a sacrifice must refrain from taking anything from his hair, nails or skin from the first day of Dhu’l-Hijjah until he offers his sacrifice.
