Bismihi ta'ala

You are able to do an 'aqiqah for yourself. Please just keep in mind that it is best that all the mustahabaat / makruhaat of 'aqiqah are considered.

There are a few options that you can choose to get this done.

1. Contact your local Muslim butcher, and ask if they do 'aqiqah sacrifices.

2. Visit your local Islamic centre and speak to them if they can accept the responsibility of doing the aqiqah on your behalf, after you pay its amount.

3. Contact trustworthy Islamic charity organisations, and ask if they have an animal sacrifice program, where they distribute the meat to the poor and needy.

With prayers for your success.

Muslims . Christians . Prophet Moses . Prophet Jesus . Judaism

Is it true that the Muslim position has always been that Jewish and Christian scriptures, as they stand, cannot be traced directly to Moses and Jesus, but were later compilations?

There is no doubt for any one with minimum knowledge about the history of the different Jewish and Christian scriptures that they are not the original scriptures revealed on Moses and Jesus, but were compiled long time after them.

The different Torahs and different Bibles existing today are living evidence that the original scriptures are mot in the hands of people.

Is it true that the Prophet Mohammed was raised by Hanifs, and were they a group of Jewish and Christian theologians?

Hanifs or Ahnaaf are those who remained on the faith of Ebrahim (AS). There were neither Jewish nor Christian. Prophet's father, grandfather and Abu Talib, the uncle and protector of the Prophet (SAWA) were on that faith of Ebrahim (AS).

The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) never attended any Jewish or Christian theologian.

God (Allah) . Muslims . Jews . Christians . Atheism . Qur'an

In one of the Qur'anic suras I have read it stated that "Allah hates the aggressor." Is a Muslim a true believer if he or she is the aggressor against his fellow human being whether that person be a Muslim, Jew, Christian, or atheist?

Any type of aggression against any human being , Muslim or non Muslim and even against peaceful animals or nature is very bad and Allah does not like the aggressors.

The significance of marriage is to the extent that it is said that one will save half of his/her religion by getting married. It means that the potentiality of getting involved with sexual sins decreases by getting married.
