Hoax E-mail: The day was 11, month was 9 - building contains 110 floors. Now, remember the figure. (11 - 9 - 110) Open the Holy Quran. In Juz` # 11, Surah # 9, Aayat # 110. It says clearly: "THE BUILDING, WHICH THEY BUILT, WILL NEVER CEASE TO BE A MISGIVING IN THEIR HEARTS UNLESS THEIR HEARTS BE TORN TO PIECES. ALLAH IS KNOWER & WISE". (Which means that no one must be accused for all that happened. ONLY ALLAH KNOWS) The Holy Quran briefs about all that going to happen more than 1400 years ago.

Come let's pray for all Human on this Earth either alive or dead. May Almighty Allah forgive us all. AAMEEN.

Response from a Mufti: According to the books of Tafseer (commentaries) of the holy Qur'aan, the Aayaat mentioned 11, 9, 110 refers to a specific incident which occurred during the time of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).

A person by the name of Abu Aamir Raahib had great animosity for Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and Muslims and had always fought in all the battles against Islam. In the battle of Hunayn, when the tribe of Hawazin was defeated, he lost hope and fled to the kingdom of Shaam. He continued in his effort against Islam until his death. He went to the king of Rome to spur him to fight against the Muslims. In the meanwhile, he had written to the hypocrites of Madinah that he is coming with Khaysar (king of Rome) to attack Madinah, so you (hypocrites) must build a headquarter for them. Thereafter, they had planned to build a house in the form of a Musjid - in order to deceive Muslims. The hypocrites planned to gather their weapons in this so-called Musjid which will be used against the Muslims. Twelve Munaafiqeen then went to Quba which already had a Musjid to build another 'Musjid'. They, then plotted to invite Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) to come and pray in that Musjid in order to further deceive the Muslims. Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was preparing for the battle of Tabuk and told them he would come there on his return.

Upon his return to Madinah, Allah Ta'ala revealed the plot of the hypocrites. Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) commanded the Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhum) amongst whom were Aamir ibn Sakan and Wahshy to destroy that 'Musjid'. (Ma'ariful Qur'aan vol.4 pg.465).

Therefore, these Aayaats of the noble Qur'aan referred to an incident that occurred 1400 years ago during the time of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). The occurrence of September 11 are mere coincidences and have no significance and relation to the noble Qur'aan whatsoever. It is also possible that these numerical orders be interpreted in other ways than the way explained above, then in that case what will be the response? E.g. one may say instead of 11-9-110, 9-11-110.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
