    Migration to Allah ( Ibn Qayyim ) Part4)

    Bismillah,ir-Rahman,ir-Rahim. Ashahadu An Laa illaaha illal llahu
    Wa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu


    ''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah
    who is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.''
    "O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious." I am Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam. {
    The Excellence of Obeying the Messenger}

    The above ayah (An-Nisa' 59) ends with, " ... that is best, and most suitable for final determination... ". This means, "That with which I commanded you (to obey Me and obey My Messenger and the people of authority, and to refer disputes to Me and My Messenger) is better for you in this life and in the Hereafter; it leads to your happiness in both lives. Therefore, it is best and most rewarding for you."
    This indicates that obeying Allah ta'ala and His Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and taking them as the referees, is the means to immediate and continued happiness.
    Anyone who examines closely the evils of the world will find that each of them is caused by disobeying the Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam. Similarly, every good in the world results from obeying him. Furthermore, all the evils and pains in the Hereafter result from disobeying him sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
    Thus, all the evils in both lives are caused by disobeying the Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam and by its consequences. If people obeyed him sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam properly, there would be no evil on earth. This applies equally to the general natural catastrophes and calamities, and to the personal evils, pains, and sorrow that occur to people.
    In obeying him sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam is a refuge and a protection for those who want to prosper and be happy. And this prosperity and happiness cannot be achieved until one strives first to learn what the Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam taught, and then confirm it with true actions.
    The Human Excellence

    There are two additional actions which complete the happiness arising from truly obeying the Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam. The first is to invite people to obey him sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and the second is to have patience and perseverance in fulfilling this mission.
    Thus the human excellence is confined to four matters:


    1. Knowing the Message of Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
    2. Acting in accordance with this knowledge.
    3. Spreading this knowledge among people and inviting them to it.
    4. Persevering and striving in accomplishing all this.

    One who seeks to learn how the Sahabah lived and who want to follow them should know that this was indeed their way [so let him follow it). A poet once said:
    "If you want to reach those folk, follow their way: It is quite manifest for those who aspire to it."
    Deviating from the Messenger

    Allah ta'ala said addressing His Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam:
    "Say, 'Were I to go astray, I would only stray to the hurt of myself; but if I am guided, it is because of what my Lord reveals unto me; He is indeed All-Hearing, Ever-Near.' " [Al-Qur'an 34:50]
    This carries a clear evidence that the Messenger's guidance occurs only through the wahy{qluetip title=[22]}Wahy: The revelation.{/qluetip}. How surprising it is then to find men with confused minds and conflicting opinions claim to be guided! How does this guidance reach them? Indeed, "He whom Allah guides is rightly guided; but as for him whom He leaves to stray, you will find no protector to lead him." [Al-Qur'an 18:17]
    What misguidance is worse than that of one who claims that guidance does not occur through the wahy! He would rather refer matters to the opinions of this and that person! Great indeed is Allah's bounty toward one whom He guarded from such a serious deviation and a great disaster. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the peoples.
    Following Falsehoods

    Also, Allah ta'ala said:
    "A Book has been revealed unto you, so let there be no tightness in your chest about it - that you might warn [people] with it, and remind the Believers. Follow [people] what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not follow other than Him - as allies or protectors. How seldom do you remember [the admonition]." [Al-Qur'an 7:2-3]
    Here, Allah ta'ala commands people to follow what He revealed to His Messenger, and He forbids following others. One can either follow the Revelation or follow others - as allies; Allah does not give other than these two alternatives. Thus, anyone not following the wahy is indeed following falsehoods and other allies instead of Allah. By Allah's Grace, this should be clear and obvious.
    The Confidants

    And Allah ta'ala said:
    "On the Day when the wrong-doer will bite his hands [in despair], saying, 'Oh! Would that I had followed the path shown to me by the Messenger! Ah! Woe is me! Would that I had never taken so- and-so for a confidant! Indeed, he lead me astray from the Message (of Allah) after it had come to me! Ah! Satan is ever a betrayer of man.' " [Al-Qur'an 25:27-29]
    Anyone who follows a person other than the Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, abandoning his guidance for the sake of that person's words or opinions, will surely say these same words. This is why Allah refers here to the confidant as 'so-and-so', which is a generic term that could apply to any person taken as a confidant instead of Allah.
    This applies then to confidants whose friendship is based on anything other than obeying the Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam: their friendship will eventually turn to enmity and accusations, as Allah ta'ala said:
    "The confidants on that Day will be foes unto one another - except the pious." [Al-Qur'an 43:67]
    The Followers and the Followed

    Allah ta'ala describes the plight of the followers and of those whom they followed in several places of His Book; He says for instance:
    "On the Day when their faces will be tossed about in the Fire, they will say, 'Woe to us! Would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!' And they will say, 'Our Lord! We obeyed our chiefs and our great men, and they lead us astray from the right path. Our Lord! Give them double suffering, and banish them utterly from Your Grace!' " [Al-Qur'an 33:66-68]
    Those people will wish that they had obeyed Allah ta'ala and His Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam. But they will do it at a time when wishes avail them nothing. They will confess that they had obeyed their chiefs and leaders and disobeyed the Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, acknowledging that they had no excuse for doing so. This realization will lead them to request doubling the punishment and curses for those leaders.
    This carries an important lesson and a useful admonition for a man of reason, Indeed, assistance [in seeing the truth] is from Allah ta'ala only.
    Partners in Deviation

    Allah ta'ala said,
    "Who could be more unjust than one who devises lies against Allah or rejects His messages? For such, their appointed portion must reach them from the Book [of Decrees] until, when Our messengers [of death] arrive to take their souls, they say, 'Where are the things that you used to invoke besides Allah?' They will reply, 'They have forsaken us!' And thus they will testify against themselves that they had been denying the truth (kuffar).
    "He (Allah) will say, 'Join those peoples who have preceded you, of men and jinn{qluetip title=[23]}Jinn: An invisible creation that Allah ta'ala made from fire and smoke. Like human beings, jinnhave a choice of action, and are accountable for their deeds. Satan is one of the jinn.{/qluetip}, in the Fire.' Every time a new people enters, it curses its sister people [that went before].
    "Once they have all joined each other in it, the last of them will say about the first, 'Our Lord! It is these who have misled us, so give them a double suffering in the Fire.' He will reply, 'Every one of you will have a double suffering, but this you do not understand.'
    "Then the first of them will say to the last, 'See then! You have no advantage over us, so taste of the suffering for all that you did!' "[Al-Qur'an 7:37-39]
    A sensible person should reflect on these ayat, and on the lessons they carry. The first ayah (Al-A'raf 37) mentions the two classes of evildoers:

    1. Those who start fallacies, establish injustice, and call people to it. Thus they distort the truth and initiate falsehood.
    2. Those who reject or deny the truth.

    Every evildoer belongs to one of these two classes. If, in addition, he invites people to his evil and drives them away from the truth, then he deserves a double penalty because of his disbelief and evil. For this reason Allah ta'ala says:
    "Those who disbelieve and hinder people from the Path of Allah, for them will We add penalty to penalty because of the mischief that they used to spread." [Al-Qur'an 16:88]
    They deserve a double punishment because of their double evil. But as for those who commit kufr (disbelief) without coaxing others toward it, Allah ta'ala does not threaten them with a doubled suffering:
    "For those who disbelieve, there is a grievous punishment ... " [Al-Qur'an 58:4]
    In the above ayat (7:37-39), Allah ta'ala informs that what had been decreed for the evildoers in their first life reaches them, such as their life span, sustenance, etc.
    Then, when death comes to them, they part with their old claims, acknowledge their falsehood, and become witnesses against themselves.
    Allah ta'ala commands them to enter into the Fire where many previous peoples have preceded them. Every time a new people enters, its members curse their ancestors who preceded them into the Fire. When they are all in it, the later nations request doubled penalties for the previous ones because they led them astray and drove them away from obeying Allah's messengers.
    Allah ta'ala replies that the punishment will be doubled for both the "followers" and the "followed", in accordance with their deviation and disbelief, and that a generation does not know what doubled suffering other generations deserve.
    The former generation then tells the later, "You do not possess any advantage over us. You had your own messengers who showed you the truth, warned you against our deviation, and forbade you from following or imitating us. Yet you rejected them and insisted on following and imitating us, and on forsaking the guidance of the messengers. Thus what advantage do you have over us, when you strayed just as we did, and when you gave up the truth just like us? You strayed because of us, just as we strayed because of other people. You can claim no advantage over us, and thus you should taste the suffering because of what you earned yourselves."
    By Allah, this is indeed a strong admonition and an eloquent advice for any living heart! These, and similar ayat would awaken the hearts of those who migrate to Allah ta'ala. But as for the lazy people, they have no effect on them.
    Untrue Followers

    The above discussion deals with the followers who share in the deviation with those whom they follow.
    Another case is that of the followers who turn away from whom they claim to follow, taking a different course than theirs, while maintaining false claims of true compliance with them. Allah ta'ala mentions such people in the following:
    "Then would those who had been followed disown their followers; they (the followers) would see the suffering [awaiting them], and all relations between them would be cut off. And then those followers would say: 'If we can only have one more chance: we would disown them as they have disowned us.' Thus will Allah show them the fruits of their deeds as nothing but bitter regrets. Nor will there be a way for them out of the Fire." [Al-Qur'an 2:166-167]
    The followed ones are truly guided. Their "followers" claim to adhere to them when, in reality, they follow a different way and guidance. They claim to love them, presuming that this love would benefit them despite their deviation. But they will discover on the Day of Judgement that they will be disowned by them. They take them as allies instead of Allah, imagining this to benefit them!
    Great indeed is the deviation of a person who takes other than Allah ta'ala and His Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam for allies and confidants, making peace or hostility for their sake, and getting satisfied or infuriated for their cause. Regardless of how numerous his deeds are, or how much effort and toil he puts into them, they will be futile on the Day of Judgement, and will only add to his misery and regret.
    His allegiance and enmity, love and hatred, satisfaction and anger, and so on, are not sincerely maintained for Allah and His Messenger; because of this, Allah will shatter his deeds and sever his connections.
    The Only Unsevered Tie

    Thus, on the Day of Resurrection, all connections and allegiances that had not been for Allah will be severed, leaving only one tie: that which connects an 'abd to his Lord.
    This tie is maintained by:

    • Continued migration to Allah and to His Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
    • Continuously purifying one's acts of worship to Allah ta'ala. This includes love, hatred, giving, preventing, taking as allies or enemies, and the like.
    • Continuously purifying one's adherence to the Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam. This includes abandoning others' opinions for what he says, discarding anything that disagrees with his guidance, and associating none with him in this adherence.

    This is the only tie that will not be severed. It is the true relationship between an 'abd and his Lord: the relationship of pure 'ubudiyyah. It is the only thing that he continues to long for, no matter how far he departs from it. It is as a poet once said:
    Let your heart wander in love affairs as you wish:True love will only be for the first lover.How many houses does a man habituate!But he will always long for his first home.
    This relationship [with Allah] is the only one that profits man. Nothing else will profit him in any of his three lives: the first, the intermediate (barzakh), and the final eternal life. He cannot endure or live or be happy and successful without this relationship. A poet once said:
    When ties (of communion) will be severed (between lovers),The bond of the true lovers [of Allah] will not be possible to sever,And when their unity shatters,The unity of the true lovers [of Allah] will be impossible to splinter.

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, on the Day of Judgement Allah will sever all connections and ties that are among people in this life, sparing only the ties between them and Him - the ties that reflect pure 'ubudiyyah(servitude),which can only be accomplished through true adherence to the messengers. Allah ta'ala said:
    "And We shall turn to whatever deeds they did (in the first life), and We shall make such deeds as floating dust scattered about."[Al-Qur'an 26:23]
    So all the deeds of the first life conflicting with the way and guidance of Allah's messengers, and with which was sought anything other than Allah's Countenance, will be turned by Allah (on the Day of Judgement) into scattered dust, availing their owners nothing.
    This is indeed one of the greatest miseries on the Day of Judgement: for one to find all he did completely lost and worthless, at a time when one will be in the greatest need for every good deed.

    What can we do to avoid the mischief of Dajjal?

    Bismillah Ir-Rahman, Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH's auspiciousness,whose Name is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An Laa illaaha illal llahuWa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allahwho is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.''"O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family.Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". Iam Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher,Iam Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam) I seek Protection with ALLAH! With the Glorious and Noble Face of ALLAH! With the Complete and Perfect words of ALLAH! With the Exalted Attributes of ALLAH! From the Punishment of Hell; From chastisement in the Grave; From the Trial of Life and Death; From the Mischief of the dajjal. There is no power nor strength with (anyone) save Allah. ALLAH is Good and Only accept that which is Good. ALLAH is the Truth and only accept that which True. ALLAH is Pure and only accept that which is Pure. Ya ALLAH! ALL the praises are for You,You are the Holder of the Heavens and the Earth, And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are are the Substaner of the Heavens and the Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All the praises are for you;You have the Possession of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH!

Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your promise is the truth,Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your words is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and You are the Truth!.........How can we contend with Dajjal? What can we do to avoid the mischief of Dajjal?A believer aims for the good, the justice and the truth to dominate. Apart from the major responsibility of ordering the good and prohibiting the evil, the believer should also contend with the evil. If the believer lives during the time of Dajjal, (s)he will do his/her best to contend with Dajjal.The Messenger of Allah mentioned Dajjal as one of the things when he said: “Whoever is saved from three things will achieve salvation…..”.(1)How can we avoid the evils of Dajjal? He(Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)said “If Dajjal emerges when I am among you, I will overcome him. If he emerges when I am not among you, everyone should try to do their best to contend with him. O servants of Allah, resist him and show perseverance”.(2)It is stated in the Ibn-Majah narration of the hadith, “I will overcome him with proofs”. It shows that Dajjal, who attacks all the sacred faith issues like Allah, the Hereafter and fate, cannot be resisted with physical power but can be resisted with spiritual power, that is, by proving faith principles with definite proofs. Basing his opinion on earlier important people, Imam Rabbani gave the good news that, “A person from the Mutakallemeen and the scholars of ilm-e kalaam will come; he will prove all the principles of faith and Islam (truths of faith and Islam) with reasonable evidence and perfect clarity ”.(3) One can only resist Dajjal with the evidence and proven truth of that wise scholar. Those evidences will be needed a lot because Dajjal will throw in front of the followers of Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) all the doubts against Islam that had been accumulated for a thousand years. Confused people will require strong proofs so that they can be protected from those doubts. It can only be achieved through strong evidence. In addition, Dajjal will not refrain from coercion, tyranny and giving annoyance to make people accept his irreligious ideas. To be able to resist those things one needs to be equipped with strong Qur’anic and faith principles. One should not submit to despotism in whatever circumstance even if he or she is executed. Even if he or she submits, it will not be willingly. Eventually he or she will triumph. the following is stated in the the Rays (?ualar), “The people who will not submit to the absolute compulsion of the Dajjal will be martyrs and the ones who submit unwillingly will not become unbelievers and probably not even sinners ”.(4)The people who do not submit to the oppression and tyranny of communism, which prides in taking on the duty of the Dajjal, will be martyrs if they die for that cause. “Seeing that in the end of time, there is great indifference to Islam and seeing that the true religion of Jesus (Alayhi salam) is Islam, and he will govern with It; . the poor and the weak face calamities under the compulsion and violence of the despotic tyrants. Surely, I have learned from the truth that not only will that calamity act as atonement against the sin and ungodliness of the civilization but it will also be a benefit to them a hundred times… As for the people who suffer that calamity, who assist the oppressed and those who struggle to maintain the tranquility of humanity and the essence of religion and the sacredness of Divine Holy things and the rights of the people, the result of that spiritual and the Hereafter-related sacrifice is so big that it will make that disaster lovable and a source of honor .”(5)Dajjal, who takes ruining and destruction as a principle, ruins every established thing and overturns the legitimate social order. He kills everyone who opposes him, jails them or tries to sideline them. The difficulty of trying to take care of the religion and to practice it is indisputably hard. In accordance with the principle, “The most virtuous act is the most troublesome”(6), as the troubles increase so do the rewards.After all, one should show perseverance and should not make concessions even if it is very difficult. Prophet Muhammad said the following when the Sahaba asked him, “O Messenger of Allah, what should we do if we reach that time”:“You should have patience and endurance like the friends of Jesus (pbuh) (Eesa), the son of Mary. They were cut with saws and bucksaws and were crucified on trees. I swear by ALLAH, who has my life in his hands, that dying by being obedient to Allah is favorable to dying by being rebellious to Allah .”(7)The important thing is to be able to resist Dajjal with faith and thought. Dajjal sees everything materially, he does not accept the existence, the oneness of Allah and his sovereignty and possession of everything from the mote to the globe and he presents himself as divine. Dajjal will not be able to have any authority over the person who denies him as divine and says, “Our lord is Allah. We trust him and we approach him. From your evil, we seek refuge in Allah”.(8)Struggle against Dajjal could change with the circumstances and conditions. The criterion in that should be the following hadith, “Try to hinder the wrong with the hand. If that is not possible, then try to hinder it with the tongue. If that is not possible, then turn your heart away from it”. The believer should do everything he/she can to struggle against him. The believer should never condone his evils. If there is nothing he can do, he is obliged to turn away from it. The believer should not keep silent and refrain from telling the truth lest Dajjal should harm him.According to a narration, one of the reasons for the difficult test of Job (pbuh) (Ayyub) was because he kept silent and did not warn the tyrant Pharaoh. The people of Basaniya, on the other hand, had defended their rights and did not hesitate using sharp words against him. Job (pbuh) had chosen to be silent and mild because he wanted to protect his crop but he was responsible for warning the Pharaoh against his tyranny and ordering the Divine commands.During the drought days in Damascus, the Pharaoh had invited him to Egypt, “Come to us! For you, there is abundance and wideness here with us”. Then, Job (pbuh) had taken his property and family and had gone to Egypt. The Pharaoh had given him some bounties.He was in the Pharaoh’s court one day when Shuaib (Jethro) came in and shouted at the Pharaoh, “O Pharaoh! Are you not afraid of the wrath of Allah when the people of the skies, the earth, the sea and the mountains are angry”.Job, meanwhile, chose to keep silent. So, Allah commanded: “O Job! You kept silent because you went to the Pharaoh’s country! Be prepared for the calamity (test)!”Although Job replied, “Did I not undertake the livelihood of the orphan? Did I not shelter the poor? Did I not feed the hungry? Did I not try to help the widow?”, he could not escape the test.(9)As can be seen, even because of some important affairs, being silent and mild towards Dajjal can bring about those kinds of results for the important people.Apart from abandoning the struggle against Dajjal, to be in favor of Dajjal would, no doubt, summon more serious disasters. Even if the worldly life of the person prospers, (her) his Hereafter life will collapse. Even in this worldly life, the troubles and calamities will not be missing. If there is widespread support for Dajjal in a place, there is an invitation for general calamities like hunger, famine or earthquake because “The general calamities come from the mistake of the majority. The majority of the people join them when they support tyrant people with their actions or when they undertake or become a part of their actions. So, they cause general calamities”.(10)As can be seen, the struggle against Dajjal is not easy. The influence of Dajjal is great and his despotism is fierce; and he will try to silence those who dare to struggle against him. The believer should not lose the sense of struggle and strive as much as (s)he can. (S)He should turn (her) his heart away if (s)he cannot do anything. (S)He should not approach him or his cause as much as possible and stay away from his mischief. The advice of the Prophet regarding the issue is as follows:“When you hear the emergence of Dajjal, stay away from him because one goes to him with the intention of refusing him but becomes a subject because he gives apprehension to the hearts and deceives and doubts them.”Another narration is as follows:“When you hear the emergence of Dajjal, do not approach him as much as possible. A person goes to him thinking that Dajjal is a believer, stays with him for a while and falls into his trap with his doubts.”(11)Approaching Dajjal in this context is not just approaching his body but also his cause which causes confusion in the minds and hearts. The system of Dajjal will continue even after he dies. He goes away by leaving a devastating mischief.A Hadith advises us to prefer staying at home so as not to be infected with the appealing mischief of Dajjal. Prophet Muhammad informs us that before the doomsday there will be mischief like pieces of night time; one will reach the morning as a believer but become an unbeliever by the night time and many people will sell their religion for a piece of worldly benefit. The Sahaba asked him, “What should we do when we reach such a time?" The Messenger of Allah said, “Do not become infected by leaving your homes”.(12)The point is not to fall into his trap, to know Dajjal well so as not to be seized by his appealing mischief and carry out the struggle that one should.Unfortunately, people who do not know Dajjal well can have wrong opinions and fall into his trap because of negligence and ignorance. The famous Dajjal can hunt those people down easily because he adopts methods like deception, fraud, and hypocrisy.Dajjal is an unbeliever; he will start a war against Islam and will attack in every chance he gets. There is no need to say that people who know those things and follow him nevertheless will risk themselves. Even their deeds will not be useful for them. As the Prophet says for the people who submit to Dajjal “none of their good acts will be of any use”.(13)What can we do to avoid the mischief of the Dajjal?“Certainly, I am warning you against Dajjal. There is no prophet who has not warned his people against him. Likewise, Noah (pbuh) had also warned his people against Dajjal.”(14)The greater the danger, the more protection necessary. Accordingly, there are warnings and preventive measures. As it can be seen above, the Munificient Prophet has made the necessary warnings against that big danger.Because of those warnings, the Sahaba had expected Dajjal as a big calamity in a nearby place and a near time and they had prepared against him accordingly.Nawwas bin Sam’an explains how the Messenger of Allah expressed that mischief:“The Munificient Prophet explained Dajjal one morning. He lowered Dajjal so much and emphasized (his mischief) so much that we thought he was in that date garden (in person).”(15)Seeking refuge in Allah from the mischief of Dajjal, the Messenger of Allah(16) had taught them this prayer that he often repeated himself: “I seek refuge in You from the mischief of Dajjal”.(17)In addition, after finishing the final tashahhud of the prayer (salat) he advised us to seek refuge in Allah from the following four things: the Hell torment, the grave torment, the mischief of life and death and the evil of Masihu’d Dajjal.(18)Including those Sunnah prayers in his principles of methods, Badiuzzaman also mentioned avoiding the mischief of Dajjal in the prayers he made after morning (fajr) and evening (maghrib) prayers:“O Allah, protect us from Hell! O Allah, protect us from all fires! O Allah, protect us from the religious and worldly mischief! O Allah, protect us from the mischief of the end of time! O Allah, protect us from the mischief of Masihu’d Dajjal and Sufyan! O Allah, protect us from perversion, false innovation (bid’a) and troubles!”(19)The Messenger of Allah also advises reading the first verses of the Chapter al-Kahf to avoid the mischief of Dajjal.“Among his mischief is that he has a heaven and a hell by his side. However, his hell is Heaven and his heaven is Hell. Whoever is tested with his fire should ask for help from Allah and read the first verses of the Chapter al-Kahf. Then, his fire will give coolness and peace as it happened to Abraham. ”(20)In addition, apart from the narration for protection from the evil of Dajjal, there are narrations that say, “One who reads the Chapter al-Kahf will be protected from the mischief of Dajjal”(21), “one who reads the last verses”(22) and “one who memorizes the first ten verses will be protected”.(23)What is the Divine Wisdom in the reading that chapter (surah)?In that chapter, Allah, the Almighty, is introduced with His personality and attributes and it is explained how, with His help, Ashab-u Kahf were rescued from the evil of the ruler of the time, Dakyanus. One can be protected from the evil of Dajjal with the help of Allah. That chapter gives the believers that security. An important wisdom of the fact that that chapter has been read in mosques every Friday since the time of the Messenger of Allah, is seeking refuge in Allah from the evil of Dajjal.When Muhammed al-Hejazi (d. 1625) evaluates the advice of reading the Chapter al-Kahf for the protection from the mischief of Dajjal, he says that Dajjal can only be resisted with the Qur’an. He explains the secret as:“One who is strong against Dajjal is strong only with the Qur’an.”(24)The tricks, doubts and apprehensions of Dajjal cannot influence, in any way, a person who knows the Qur’an well and who fills his heart and mind with its sacred truths.

    THE IDENTITY OF THE DAJJAL AND his SYSTEM?

    Bismillah Ir-Rahman, Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH's auspiciousness,whose Name is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An Laa illaaha illal llahuWa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allahwho is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.''"O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family.Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". Iam Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher,Iam Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam) I seek Protection with ALLAH! With the Glorious and Noble Face of ALLAH! With the Complete and Perfect words of ALLAH! With the Exalted Attributes of ALLAH! From the Punishment of Hell; From chastisement in the Grave; From the Trial of Life and Death; From the Mischief of the dajjal. There is no power nor strength with (anyone) save Allah. ALLAH is Good and Only accept that which is Good. ALLAH is the Truth and only accept that which True. ALLAH is Pure and only accept that which is Pure. Ya ALLAH! ALL the praises are for You,You are the Holder of the Heavens and the Earth, And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH!

Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your promise is the truth,Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your words is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and You are the Truth!... Ashahadu An Laa illaaha illal llahuWa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu
    ''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah
    who is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.''
    "O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family.

    Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". Iam Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher,Iam Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and Iam satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam . (This is the Statement of ALLAH in the Quran) ” Surah 60 - Al Mumtahinah - Ayat - 001 O ye who believe! Take not my enemies and yours as friends (or protectors),- offering them (your) love, even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have (on the contrary) driven out the Prophet and yourselves (from your homes), (simply) because ye believe in God your Lord! If ye have come out to strive in My Way and to seek My Good Pleasure, (take them not as friends), holding secret converse of love (and friendship) with them: for I know full well all that ye conceal and all that ye reveal. And any of you that does this has strayed from the Straight Path.
    Surah 60 - Al Mumtahinah - Ayat - 002 If they were to get the better of you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you for evil: and they desire that ye should reject the Truth. I declare that ALLAH's Enemies as His Enemies, and I donot take His Enemies as Friends or protectors. (The Dajjal and his followers are the Enemies of ALLAH). And I also Declare that the Believers are the Friends of ALLAH, and I donot take them as enemies.
    Along with the prophecy of the appearance of the Dajjal, Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam) has left us some definite signs and symbols by which his Ummah or people can correctly identify and consequently be resistant to it and fight the impostor. In this Hadith of Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam) regarding the identity of the Dajjal will be put forward to get a clearer picture of the situation. Seen in this light, it is very pertinent and important part mainly because if the actual character of the Dajjal is not manifest before us, then the magnitude of the dangers represented by it cannot be accurately comprehended either. It is quite similar to an enemy disguised amongst us as a friend; therefore the harm it can cause us is enormous. It may be that this is why Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam)has left us so many details wherewith the Dajjal can be identified. However, he has also added that it is only true Believers mens who will be able to correctly identify the Imposter, even if they are illiterate, while on the other hand, even highly educated persons will miss the ˜Kafer written on the forehead of the Dajjal.
    The identity of the Dajjal and his system.
    the Quran(surah Az-Zukhruf 32:
    Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of thy Lord? It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in the life of this world: and We raise some of them above others in ranks, so that some may command work from others. But the Mercy of thy Lord is better than the (wealth) which they amass. 33:
    And were it not that (all) men might become of one (evil) way of life, We would provide, for everyone that blasphemes against ((ALLAH)) Most Gracious, silver roofs for their houses and (silver) stair-ways on which to go up, 34:
    And (silver) doors to their houses, and thrones (of silver) on which they could recline, 35:
    And also adornments of gold. But all this were nothing but conveniences of the present life: The Hereafter, in the sight of thy Lord is for the Righteous. 36:
    If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of ((Allah)) Most Gracious, We appoint for him an evil one, to be an intimate companion to him. 37:
    Such (evil ones) really hinder them from the Path, but they think that they are being guided aright!

    (The Words of ALLAH In the Quran (This is the Statement of ALLAH in the Quran) (were it not that (all) men might become of one (evil) way of life), this one evil way of life, the Dajjal evil way of life, Disbelief .O Muslim people Remember that ALLAH is Ar-Razzaq our Sustainer And that ALLAH is As-Sami, the All-Hearing and that ALLAH is Al-Basir, the All-Seeing and that ALLAH is Ash-Shahid, the Witness to Allthings. you ought to know that what is with ALLAH is Better and has to Last forever,for those people who embraced Faith and Trusted in ALLAH alone.
    ,
    There is Dajjal as a worldwide social and cultural phenomenon.
    There will be Deceit in his appearent!,there will be Deceit in his every word! He will be very irritable and get extremely angry, and the first thing (by the incitement of which) he would come out before the public would be his anger..
    Imran bin Hussain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I heard Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam) saying, "Between time of the creation of Adam and the Resurrection Day, there is nothing greater than the mischief of Dajjal (the Antichrist).''
    [Muslim].

    Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam)said: - The Dajjal will emerge from within the Jews. and the Monafeqs (hypocrites) will be his followers (Ibn Hanbal (ra)- Muslim).
    There is not much, to think, to explain in this Hadith Besides, this Society is known as the Judeo-Christian technological Society as it is. if the name bears testimony to the family one belongs to, then there is no room for dispute here. That Jews and Christians should adhere to it is understandable, but who are the Monafeqs mentioned here? Are they not the so-called Muslims of this world, who call themselves the Ummah-e-Muhammad on one hand and on the other, have accepted the Dajjal doctrine and dominance in every aspect of their collective lives? The definition of a Monafeq is someone who professes to one thing with his tongue and adheres to another in his heart and action. (there is no double standard in the Worship of ALLAH or in Islam!) Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam)has said: - The Dajjal will declare itself to be the lord and make mankind accept it as such- Bukhari.
    How exactly can the Dajjal claim to lordship of mankind be interpreted? Is it not its insistence to be accepted a system as the supreme law- Maker, the one,the system whose every dictate on socio-economic, political, educative issues, penalty and punishment, are to be obeyed and implemented by humanity as a whole? In the Hadith Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) has used the Arabic word ˜rab to describe the demand of the Dajjal. The Arabic word ˜rub is generally translated into the word ˜lord in English and also as ˜(Sustainer)It is ALLAH who is (Ar-Razzaq the Sustainer of the Heaven and the Earth,and of ALL mankind), when it implies and indicates Only Allah alone,as the Sustainer of ALL. In this sense if we look at the developed i.e. western countries which actually represent the Judeo-Christian Materialistic society, we can see how they try to justifiy the use of the word sustainer. That these ˜developed countries are in fact occupies the place of sustainers of the ˜underdeveloped or ˜developing countries it is no secret. In reading this Hadith, it will be explained more clearly, The Dajjal system will prevail upon mankind to revoke the rules and regulations, the collective way of life as prescribed in the centuries , Laws of civilization that Govern societys. claiming them to be old, obsolete, and barbaric. It will persuade people to implement the new age, modern man-made laws, and limits in order to be progressive and live in wealth, prosperity and civility. although Dajjal and his system will have great resources and methods of misleading people, the true believers will not be deceived by his tricks; on the contrary, they will increase in Faith (as what Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam) said about Dajjal is true). The Dajjal the Enemies of ALLAH will talk of the Fire (Jahannam), and make it seem like the Garden (Jannah). The Dajjal will talk of the Garden, and make it seem like the Fire.Among his mischief is that he has a heaven and a hell by his side. However, his hell is Heaven and his heaven is Hell. Whoever is tested with his fire should ask for help from Allah and read the first verses of the Chapter al-Kahf. Then, his fire will give coolness and peace as it happened to Abraham. In short, people will enjoy the Dajjal bliss of heaven ,.
    The Dajjal will claim to be lord, not the Creator. Dajjal will not be able to have any authority over the people who denies him as divine and says, “Our lord is Allah. We trust him and we approach him. From your evil, we seek protection in Allah”.(We Seeking protection in Allah from the mischief of Dajjal,) Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam) had taught them this prayer that he often repeated himself: “I seek protection in You from the mischief of Dajjal. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the world will not come to an end until a man passes by a grave and will lie over it saying, `Would that I were in this grave (i.e., dead)!' Not he will say so because of religious reasons but because of widespread mischief and severe trials of this world.''
    [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

    Commentary: There would be such disasters and agony in the world that people will prefer death to life under such conditions. This situation will arise before the Day of Resurrection, and the Day of Judgement will dawn on such wicked people.
    In addition, after finishing the final tashahhud of the prayer (salat) he advised us to seek refuge in Allah from the following four things: the Hell torment, the grave torment, the mischief of life and death and the evil of Masihu’d Dajjal.(18)
    Including those Sunnah prayers in his principles of methods, Badiuzzaman also mentioned avoiding the mischief of Dajjal in the prayers he made after morning (fajr) and evening (maghrib) prayers:
    “O Allah, protect us from Hell! O Allah, protect us from all fires! O Allah, protect us from the religious and worldly mischief! O Allah, protect us from the mischief of the end of time! O Allah, protect us from the mischief of Masihu’d Dajjal and Sufyan! O Allah, protect us from perversion, false innovation (bid’a) and troubles!”(19)
    The Judeo-Christian society was design to accommodate the Dajjal and his system,The claim of the Judeo-Christian society is identical to that of the Dajjal system, since it holds no objection to the personal observance of faith, people are allowed to remain as Muslims (but not real muslims), Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, adhere to any other religion they wish to in their personal lives, but they must all abide by and follow the collective life as dictated by the Dajjal system . In this category, i.e., the collective life, people are given a wide range of choice, a whole range of man-made ways of life, such as democracy, socialism, fascism, dictatorship, monarchy etc. to choose from: All that is except the One Islamic Life,which would rid the world of every injustice, every misrule the way of the Creator, Din-ul-Huq (ISLAM the true way of life).
    In the course of time, the whole of mankind has indeed accepted the Dajjal offer and entered its promised heaven,In short, people will enjoy the Dajjal bliss of heaven ,. However, his heaven is Hell and his hell is Heaven, yet there is no peace or tranquility anywhere. there is no peace on earth.Two examples of these relate to matters of justice and peace. He will proclaim justice but he will pursue injustice, and he will proclaim peace but he will pursue the opposite of peace and every proclaimation by him of the so-called peace will be a deterioration of whatever is left of peace. That is, he will do exactly opposite of what he proclaims]. . With the acceptance of the Dajjal system of economy, some people get to amass wealth in obscene quantities and indulge in vulgar display of it while some people die of hunger, sell their own offspring not being able to feed and clothe them. Mothers commit suicide at their children plight. As the result of implementation of Dajjal legal and penal code, crime levels in every society is continue to rise alarmingly; murder, theft, rape, arson, there is no end to the list. By far the worst of it all is the result of acceptance of the God-forsaken, soulless education policy of the Dajjal.
    He will cause drought to those who disbelieve in him, resulting in starvation and hardship for them.
    During those trying times the Mu'mineen (Believers) will satiate their hunger through the recitation of Subhanallah and La'ilaha Ilallahu With the banishment of the education prescribed by Allah, human beings seem to have lost all moral goodness, character and reached the levels of the lowest animals.

    The literal meaning of ˜Sajdaâ is submission, to prostrate before someone is to submit to his will, which is why Allah has forbidden man to prostrate before anyone but Him. Yet the whole of mankind including almost all the so-called Muslims today have accepted the Dajjal one evil way of life, have accepted its dominance over them and in so doing have been) the result is only too apparent anarchy, violence, injustice, unrest and endless bloodshed in every corner of the Muslim world. (The Words of ALLAH In the Quran (were it not that (all) men might become of one (evil) way of life), this one evil way of life, the Dajjal Evil way of life, Disbelief . O Muslim people Remember that ALLAH is Ar-Razzaq our Sustainer And that ALLAH is As-Sami, the All-Hearing and that ALLAH is Al-Basir, the All-Seeing and that ALLAH is Ash-Shahid, the Witness to Allthings. And that it is ALLAH who portion out His Mercy to whom He wills, and it is ALLAH who portion out our Livelihood in this life of the world and He raises some above other, But the Mercy of ALLAH is better than the (wealth) which they amass. you ought to know that what is with ALLAH is Better and has to Last forever, for those people who embraced Faith(Islam) and put their Trust in ALLAH alone.

    Re: What can we do to avoid the mischief of Dajjal?

    JazakAllah khayr. I am in the midst collecting hadiths about ad-Dajjal.
    My Islamic Knowledge blog posts

    Jabir bin 'Abdullah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:'A slave (of Allah) shall not believe until he believes in Al-Qadar, its good and its bad, such that he knows that what struck him would not have missed him, and that what missed him would not have struck him."

    The Return of Our Heroes!

    "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem.
    I testify that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah
    And I testify that Muhammad (Sallallaho-Alaihe-Wa-Sallam) is his beloved servant and messenger."O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family.
    Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". Iam Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher,Iam Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and Iam satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam . (This is the Statement of ALLAH in the Quran) ” Surah 60 - Al Mumtahinah - Ayat - 001 O ye who believe! Take not my enemies and yours as friends (or protectors),- offering them (your) love, even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have (on the contrary) driven out the Prophet and yourselves (from your homes), (simply) because ye believe in God your Lord! If ye have come out to strive in My Way and to seek My Good Pleasure, (take them not as friends), holding secret converse of love (and friendship) with them: for I know full well all that ye conceal and all that ye reveal. And any of you that does this has strayed from the Straight Path.
    Surah 60 - Al Mumtahinah - Ayat - 002 If they were to get the better of you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you for evil: and they desire that ye should reject the Truth. I declare that ALLAH's Enemies as His Enemies, and I donot take His Enemies as Friends or protectors. (The Dajjal and his followers are the Enemies of ALLAH). And I also Declare that the Believers are the Friends of ALLAH, and I donot take them as enemies.
    There has been a movement in the world to presented Islam in the most corrupt way, In the most corrupt form, So that the people will reject it,even before having any real knowledge about Islam.
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi wassalam) said, “...A time when fools would occupy the pulpits and Zakat would be considered a loss and trusts shall be considered as war booty. Contemplation in religion of ALLAH shall be for other than ALLAH. Men shall obey their wives and be disowned by their mothers. They shall become aloof from their father. The last of this Ummah will curse the first and the transgressing tribes shall be leading them and the leaders of the people will be the worst people among them. People would respect them for being safe from their mischief. At that time people will take refuge in Damascus which is the best city of Sham (Syria) and they shall remain safe from the enemies.”
    It was asked, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would Sham be conquereda”
    He(sallallahu alaihi was salam) replied, “Very soon (it would be conquered), after that mischief will arise. Then the mischief of the worst kind would appear. In short, there would be mischief after mischief till finally a man from my Ahle Bayt would appear, whose name is Mahdi (a.s).
    In that time of Darkness,The rulers shall be sinners, the administrators, liars, the trustees, misappropriators and friends and helpers shall be oppressors. Reciters of Quran shall be sinners. Oppression would be open and divorces common and sins would be committed openly and false testimonies would be accepted, wine would be imbibed and man shall mount upon man and women shall be needless of men and public funds would be considered spoils of war, alms would be considered a monetary loss. They would be afraid of the tongue of the evil people. Where the most deceitful of people are honored and
    The affairs of the world is in the hands of Such wicked and undeserving people. The sinners and wicked people have become the leaders of the world. And in such a world where the faithful are disgraced! the earth at this PresentTime has become constricted for us(the faithful believers) and has become filled with injustice and oppression and the we (faithful believers) have no place of refuge from those oppressions, there is no doubt that this is the time of the Dajjal,In one of the hadith of Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam) has drawn our attention to the terrible scale of the strife of the Dajjal in the words "Since the birth of Adam (as) till the advent of the Judgment Day there is no fitnah (tribulation) much greater than that of Dajjal," (1) and warned all people against this peril. In another hadith He(sallallahu alaihi was salam) indicates that the strife of the Dajjal is a grave danger not only for Muslims but for all people in the World, In His(sallallahu alaihi was salam)words "Every prophet came to warn his nation of the deception of the Dajjal. Every word that Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi wassalam) has spoken is the Absolute Truth!; and has become the reality of our lived. It would seem from the fact that the portents of the appearance of the Dajjal related by our Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) in the hadith have one by one come to pass that the Messiah Dajjal has already appeared. Many of the things that Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)Have spoken of are Unfolding everyday in our lives before our very eyes, A great many events experienced on Earth are in complete agreement with the information provided by our Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)and Islamic scholars regarding the time the Messiah Dajjal will appear and the deeds he will perform. The Islamic scholar Bediuzzaman Said Nursi has reported that the power and rule of the Dajjal are based on violence and oppression in the words "...The Dajjal appears to have greater dominion than they deserve, acquired through great oppression and great cruelty and great violence and brutality." (3) The increasing violence, anarchy and chaos, the slaughter and torture, and state and organizational terrorist acts in recent times all show that the Dajjal is at work and is directing all of these.
    In the hadith our Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) has reported that the Dajjal will resort to all means to turn people away from the path of goodness and will bring large masses of people under his influence by means of deception and cheating. He has stated that in this way the Dajjal will lead people as he wishes, in the hadith "The Dajjal has many followers. Many people will line up alongside him." (4)
    "And we Muslim people are living as if we have all the time in the world, and time is on our side, and it is not on our side! Time is only on the side of those who are trying to please ALLAH!, In this time, SIN has become compulsory, the sinner and the follower of dajjal act like, well,you are not a good sinner unless you have committed your major sin for the day! This is insane! But this is the reality that we are living with. We are living between two periods of time. When the tyrannical rulership is being lifted up and the period of the coming Light or the period of enlightment. In between these two periods, there is a period of darkness where the most wicked of men will come to the forefront this is the most darkest period just before the Light, and In this period of coming enlightment that will be a time of the return of Isa(alaihi salam) and Imam Mahdi, Once again the Quran and Sunnah will govern the Muslim people, in this time the rightly guided Khalifh, Imam Mahdi. Islam will gain an upper hand and will be firmly established in the land. The oppression, tyranny, and darkness that is prevailing all over the globe will be replaced with justice, peace and equity. The smile, which was long forgotten, will be restored on the faces of Muslim people and the inhabitants of the Heaven and Earth will be pleased . Everybody will be happy to the extent that even birds an wild animals will rejoice in his rule. Heaven will end rain profusely, livestock will be in abundance, land will become fertile, the earth will become green and sprout with abundant fruit ad vegetation.
    when Prophet Isa will descend to the white Minaret (Nawwas-b-Samaan/Muslim) in the east of Damascus, wearing two garments died with saffron, placing his hands on the wings of two angels.
    All those that are present will recognise him, as he will look exactly like the description of Rasulallah Resembling the Sahabi Urwa bin Masood (Abu- Huraira/ Muslim) the colour of his skin will be reddish white (Ibne Abbas/ Bukhari), he will be well built and his hair will be soft and reach his ears. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from it and when he raises his head, beads like pearls will scatter from it. (Nawwas-b-Samaan/Muslim). Prophet Isa will have three main tasks, when he descends on the Earth for the second time:
    1) The first and most important will be that he will destroy the Dajjal.
    2) Protect the Muslims from the barbarous tribes of Yajuj and Majuj by taking them to Mount Tur and then Praying for their (Yajuj and Majuj's) destruction.
    3) Reign as a Khalifh according to the Quran and Sunnah and elevate Islam. Some Ulama have said that Prophet Isa found many virtues of the followers of Muhammad Rasulallah in the bible and thus he prayed to Allah to make him amongst the Ummah of Rasulallah. Allah answered his prayer and he will return for the second time as one of the followers of Rasulallah. (Ibne-Khathir)
    3) It is the Law of Allah that anything that is created from the Earth has to be buried in the Earth and not the Heavens. Thus he will return to the Earth for the second time, kill the Dajjal, live for a period of time and then he will die a natural death and will be buried with Rasulallah. (Ashratus-Sa'ah).
    Rasulallah said, "By him whose hands my life is in, surely the son of Maryam will come down amongst you as a just ruler. He will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the tax. Wealth will be in such abundance that none will care about it and a single prostration in a Prayer will be better than the world and all that is in it." (Abu Huraira/Bukhari, Muslim)
    The above hadith clearly indicates that when Prophet Isa returns to the world for the second time he will not reign as a Prophet nor, will he bring a new Shariah or Deen, as Islam is the last religion, the Quran is the last book to be revealed and our Muhammad Rasulallah is the last Prophet. There is no Prophet to come after him and the Quran has made this fact very clear.Allah says in the Qur'an, "Muhammad () is not the father of any of you but is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the Prophets (Surah-Al-Ahzaab) All types of spiritualEnlightment and worldly blessings will descend on Earth in his time. Wealth will flow like water, everyone will be independent and have surplus wealth and property to the extent that nobody will be in the need of Zakat and Sadaqa thus receiving of Zakat and Sadaqa will be discarded.
    All hearts will be free from misery, envy, malice, and jealousy. Each harmful animal will be made harmless. Camels will graze with the lions and the cheetahs with cattle. , The Jackal will live with the sheep and protect them as if it were a sheep dog. Peace, harmony and tranquillity will prevail in the world. People will be in complete agreement, wars will cease, the earth will be filled with peace like a silver basin and it will sprout with vegetation like at the time of Prophet Adam. The fertility of the land will increase to the extent that if a seed is planted in a rock, it will sprout. 700 mudd of wheat will sprout without ploughing the land. The earth will produce so much fruit that a large group of people will sit to eat a bunch of grapes or a pomegranate and they will be satisfied and use it's peel as an umbrella. There will also be blessing in milk. The milk of a single she camel will be sufficient to satisfy the hunger of a large group of people. A cow will produce what is sufficient for a tribe of people, and a sheep will produce milk, which is sufficient for a family of people. Horses will be cheap as they will be never ridden in war and bulls will be expensive, as they will be needed to plough the land.
    Life will be very pleasant and enjoyable after his descension and the Muslims will live in comfort in his reign as a Khalifh. Ata, son of Abu Riyah narrated from the Rabbi of the Ummah, Abdullah bin Abbas that he said: I performed the Farewell Hajj with Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) His Eminence held the door of the Ka’ba and glanced to the people and said, “Do you want me to inform you about the signs of the Hour and Qiyamata”
    Salman Farsi who was the most proximate to the Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) replied, “Yes, Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! His Eminence began to reply and said, “One of the signs of Qiyamat is that the Prayer would be wasted – that is the Prayer of the Muslims will lapse. And sensual desires shall be followed.
    And people would be inclined to their carnal desires. Religion would be lost for material gains. It is the time when hearts of the faithful shall be terrified of widespread evils that they would witness but would be unable to change. It would be like salt dissolves in water.
    Salman inquired in surprise, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Indeed, would such a time really come to passa” He replied, “Yes! By ALLAH in Whose control is my life! O Salman! At that time leadership and guardianship of Muslims shall be in the hands of tyrannical rulers. Rulers, whose ministers shall be transgressors and the nobles, unjust and the trustees, misappropriators.”
    Salman (r.a.) asked, “Would such conditions really occur, Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! ” He replied, “Yes! By the ALLAH in Whose hands is my life! At that time evil shall be considered good and good, evil. The misappropriator would be a trustee on paper only and the trustee would misappropriate. The liar shall be testified for and the truthful deemed a liar.”
    Salman asked in astonishment, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would it indeed be in this waya”
    He said, “Yes! By ALLAH in Whose Control is my life! O Salman! In that age, women shall be rulers and maidservants would become consultants and children would mount pulpits. Lying would be a way of life, Zakat would be considered a monetary loss, and misappropriation of public funds would be considered a type of profit. Men shall oppress their parents and be kind to their friends and a comet shall appear.”
    Salman again asked, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! would it indeed be in this waya” He replied, “Yes! By ALLAH in Whose control is my life! O Salman! At that time, the wife would be a partner in the trade of her husband and rain would not fall in its season. But it would fall in summer. The kind people would be very hot- tempered. The poor man shall be humiliated. At that time markets shall become proximate to each other. A time when one would say: I have not sold anything and another would say: I have made
    no profit. In such a way that everyone who hears this would understand that he is thankless to ALLAH.”
    Salman asked, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would this indeed come to pass ?”
    He replied, “Yes! By ALLAH in Whose control is my life! O Salman! At this time some groups would be dominating them. Such that even if they move their lips they shall be killed and if they don’t say anything their enemies would consider their property permissible for themselves. Till they would fill their pockets with public funds and misbehave with their ladies, spill their blood and their fill their hearts with fear, terror and awe. In those days you will not see the believers except in a condition of fear, terror and awe.”
    Salman beseeched, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would such a time come for the believers ?”
    He replied, “Yes! By ALLAH in Whose hands is my life! O Salman! At this time, they would get some things from the east and some from west so that they may lead the Muslim community. In that period woe be to the helpless condition of my community by the mischiefs of the east and west. And woe be on the condition of the easterners and westerners from divine chastisement. Yes, neither would they be merciful on the young nor have any respect for elders and nor would they condone anyone who commits a mistake. Their news are all indecencies and improper. Their bodies are humans but their hearts like satans.”
    Salman implored, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would such a day really come to pass ?”
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) replied, “Yes! By ALLAH in Whose hands is my life! O Salman! At that time males shall satisfy their lusts with males and females with females. And in the same way the father and people of family will be possessive of their own daughters and sons (that is they would want them for
    themselves). Men shall resemble women and women shall resemble men and women shall ride mounts. May curse of ALLAH be on them.”
    Salman asked in surprise, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would this indeed happena”
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) replied, “Yes! By ALLAH in Whose hands is my life! O Salman! At that time mosques would be decorated with gold like churches and synagogues. Qurans would be taken as ornament and decoration and shops would be elevated and rows, elongated but they would be inimical to each other and everyone shall have their own justifications.”
    Salman asked, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would this really happen ?”
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) said, “Yes! By ALLAH, in Whose hands is my life! At that time men and boys of the community would wear gold and silk and deal in leopard skins.”
    Salman asked, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would this also happen ?”
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) replied, “Yes! By the One in Whose hands is my life! O Salman! At that time usury would be widespread and a common activity and business transactions would comprise of backbiting and bribery. Religion shall be humiliated and the world shall be honored.”
    Salman asked, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would this also come to pass ?”
    He replied, “Yes! By the One in Whose hands is my life! O Salman! At that time divorces would increase and no penalty would be carried out although Almighty ALLAH would not be harmed by all this in any way.”
    Salman asked, “Would this also happen ?”
    He replied, “Yes! By ALLAH in Whose Hands is my life! O Salman! In that age singing girls would appear and the mischiefs of my community shall dominate.”
    Salman asked, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would such circumstances really appear ?”
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) replied, “Yes! By the One in Whose hand is my life! O Salman! The affluent people of my community would go for Hajj for the sole purpose of recreation and the middle class would go for business and the poor for show off. In that time the community would learn Quran for (a purpose) other than ALLAH and recite it with musical instruments. A group of people will obtain knowledge of religious jurisprudence for other than ALLAH. In that time illegitimate children will increase, Quran will be recited in tune for entertainment.”
    Salman requested, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would such a day come to pass ?”
    He replied, “Yes! By ALLAH in Whose hands is my life! O Salman! It is the time when no type of sanctity and limits shall be observed and people would knowingly and willingly commit sins and evil people will dominate righteous souls. Lying would become open and flattery will become general, the poor shall openly display their poverty, some would pride upon others with regard to their clothes. Rain shall be unseasonal. People would consider chess, backgammon and music as favorite activities and in comparison to it they would consider Amr bil Maroof (Advising good) and Nahy Anil Munkar (Restraining from evil) as bad. So much so, that a faithful person shall be the most degraded and despised person of the community. The reciters (of Quran) will denounce the worshippers and the worshippers shall denounce the reciters. These are the people who are considered as filth in the kingdom of the heavens.”
    Salman asked in astonishment, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would such a day really come ?”
    He replied, “Yes! By ALLAH in Whose hands is my life! O Salman! In that time the ‘Ruwabyiza’ will speak.”
    Salman asked, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! My parents be sacrificed on you! What is ‘Ruwabyiza’ ?”
    He replied, “A thing or a person’s speaking about the general matters that has never been spoken about. In that time people will not have a long life, suddenly the earth will call out and every person will think it is for him or her. After that the world would remain in that condition till ALLAH likes and after that it would be destroyed. The earth would spew out whatever it contains. Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) himself said: That is Gold and Silver. At that moment he pointed out to the pillars and said: Like this, but on that day neither gold nor silver be of any use. This is the meaning of the verse: Now indeed the tokens of it have come…”[1]


    "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem.
    I testify that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah
    And I testify that Muhammad (Sallallaho-Alaihe-Wa-Sallam) is his beloved servant and messenger."O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family.
    Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". Iam Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher,Iam Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and Iam satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam . (This is the Statement of ALLAH in the Quran) ” Surah 60 - Al Mumtahinah - Ayat - 001 O ye who believe! Take not my enemies and yours as friends (or protectors),- offering them (your) love, even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have (on the contrary) driven out the Prophet and yourselves (from your homes), (simply) because ye believe in God your Lord! If ye have come out to strive in My Way and to seek My Good Pleasure, (take them not as friends), holding secret converse of love (and friendship) with them: for I know full well all that ye conceal and all that ye reveal. And any of you that does this has strayed from the Straight Path.
    Surah 60 - Al Mumtahinah - Ayat - 002 If they were to get the better of you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you for evil: and they desire that ye should reject the Truth. I declare that ALLAH's Enemies as His Enemies, and I donot take His Enemies as Friends or protectors. (The Dajjal and his followers are the Enemies of ALLAH). And I also Declare that the Believers are the Friends of ALLAH, and I donot take them as enemies.
    There has been a movement in the world to presented Islam in the most corrupt way, In the most corrupt form, So that the people will reject it,even before having any real knowledge about Islam.
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi wassalam) said, “...A time when fools would occupy the pulpits and Zakat would be considered a loss and trusts shall be considered as war booty. Contemplation in religion of ALLAH shall be for other than ALLAH. Men shall obey their wives and be disowned by their mothers. They shall become aloof from their father. The last of this Ummah will curse the first and the transgressing tribes shall be leading them and the leaders of the people will be the worst people among them. People would respect them for being safe from their mischief. At that time people will take refuge in Damascus which is the best city of Sham (Syria) and they shall remain safe from the enemies.”
    It was asked, “ Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)! Would Sham be conquereda”
    He(sallallahu alaihi was salam) replied, “Very soon (it would be conquered), after that mischief will arise. Then the mischief of the worst kind would appear. In short, there would be mischief after mischief till finally a man from my Ahle Bayt would appear, whose name is Mahdi (a.s).
    In that time of Darkness,The rulers shall be sinners, the administrators, liars, the trustees, misappropriators and friends and helpers shall be oppressors. Reciters of Quran shall be sinners. Oppression would be open and divorces common and sins would be committed openly and false testimonies would be accepted, wine would be imbibed and man shall mount upon man and women shall be needless of men and public funds would be considered spoils of war, alms would be considered a monetary loss. They would be afraid of the tongue of the evil people. Where the most deceitful of people are honored and
    The affairs of the world is in the hands of Such wicked and undeserving people. The sinners and wicked people have become the leaders of the world. And in such a world where the faithful are disgraced! the earth at this PresentTime has become constricted for us(the faithful believers) and has become filled with injustice and oppression and the we (faithful believers) have no place of refuge from those oppressions, there is no doubt that this is the time of the Dajjal,In one of the hadith of Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam) has drawn our attention to the terrible scale of the strife of the Dajjal in the words "Since the birth of Adam (as) till the advent of the Judgment Day there is no fitnah (tribulation) much greater than that of Dajjal," (1) and warned all people against this peril. In another hadith He(sallallahu alaihi was salam) indicates that the strife of the Dajjal is a grave danger not only for Muslims but for all people in the World, In His(sallallahu alaihi was salam)words "Every prophet came to warn his nation of the deception of the Dajjal. Every word that Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi wassalam) has spoken is the Absolute Truth!; and has become the reality of our lived. It would seem from the fact that the portents of the appearance of the Dajjal related by our Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) in the hadith have one by one come to pass that the Messiah Dajjal has already appeared. Many of the things that Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)Have spoken of are Unfolding everyday in our lives before our very eyes, A great many events experienced on Earth are in complete agreement with the information provided by our Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)and Islamic scholars regarding the time the Messiah Dajjal will appear and the deeds he will perform. The Islamic scholar Bediuzzaman Said Nursi has reported that the power and rule of the Dajjal are based on violence and oppression in the words "...The Dajjal appears to have greater dominion than they deserve, acquired through great oppression and great cruelty and great violence and brutality." (3) The increasing violence, anarchy and chaos, the slaughter and torture, and state and organizational terrorist acts in recent times all show that the Dajjal is at work and is directing all of these.
    In the hadith our Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) has reported that the Dajjal will resort to all means to turn people away from the path of goodness and will bring large masses of people under his influence by means of deception and cheating. He has stated that in this way the Dajjal will lead people as he wishes, in the hadith "The Dajjal has many followers. Many people will line up alongside him." (4)
    "And we Muslim people are living as if we have all the time in the world, and time is on our side, and it is not on our side! Time is only on the side of those who are trying to please ALLAH!, In this time, SIN has become compulsory, the sinner and the follower of dajjal act like, well,you are not a good sinner unless you have committed your major sin for the day! This is insane! But this is the reality that we are living with. We are living between two periods of time. When the tyrannical rulership is being lifted up and the period of the coming Light or the period of enlightment. In between these two periods, there is a period of darkness where the most wicked of men will come to the forefront this is the most darkest period just before the Light, and In this period of coming enlightment that will be a time of the return of Isa(alaihi salam) and Imam Mahdi, Once again the Quran and Sunnah will govern the Muslim people, in this time the rightly guided Khalifh, Imam Mahdi. Islam will gain an upper hand and will be firmly established in the land. The oppression, tyranny, and darkness that is prevailing all over the globe will be replaced with justice, peace and equity. The smile, which was long forgotten, will be restored on the faces of Muslim people and the inhabitants of the Heaven and Earth will be pleased . Everybody will be happy to the extent that even birds an wild animals will rejoice in his rule. Heaven will end rain profusely, livestock will be in abundance, land will become fertile, the earth will become green and sprout with abundant fruit ad vegetation.
    when Prophet Isa will descend to the white Minaret (Nawwas-b-Samaan/Muslim) in the east of Damascus, wearing two garments died with saffron, placing his hands on the wings of two angels.
    All those that are present will recognise him, as he will look exactly like the description of Rasulallah Resembling the Sahabi Urwa bin Masood (Abu- Huraira/ Muslim) the colour of his skin will be reddish white (Ibne Abbas/ Bukhari), he will be well built and his hair will be soft and reach his ears. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from it and when he raises his head, beads like pearls will scatter from it. (Nawwas-b-Samaan/Muslim). Prophet Isa will have three main tasks, when he descends on the Earth for the second time:
    1) The first and most important will be that he will destroy the Dajjal.
    2) Protect the Muslims from the barbarous tribes of Yajuj and Majuj by taking them to Mount Tur and then Praying for their (Yajuj and Majuj's) destruction.
    3) Reign as a Khalifh according to the Quran and Sunnah and elevate Islam. Some Ulama have said that Prophet Isa found many virtues of the followers of Muhammad Rasulallah in the bible and thus he prayed to Allah to make him amongst the Ummah of Rasulallah. Allah answered his prayer and he will return for the second time as one of the followers of Rasulallah. (Ibne-Khathir)
    3) It is the Law of Allah that anything that is created from the Earth has to be buried in the Earth and not the Heavens. Thus he will return to the Earth for the second time, kill the Dajjal, live for a period of time and then he will die a natural death and will be buried with Rasulallah. (Ashratus-Sa'ah).
    Rasulallah said, "By him whose hands my life is in, surely the son of Maryam will come down amongst you as a just ruler. He will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the tax. Wealth will be in such abundance that none will care about it and a single prostration in a Prayer will be better than the world and all that is in it." (Abu Huraira/Bukhari, Muslim)
    The above hadith clearly indicates that when Prophet Isa returns to the world for the second time he will not reign as a Prophet nor, will he bring a new Shariah or Deen, as Islam is the last religion, the Quran is the last book to be revealed and our Muhammad Rasulallah is the last Prophet. There is no Prophet to come after him and the Quran has made this fact very clear.Allah says in the Qur'an, "Muhammad () is not the father of any of you but is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the Prophets (Surah-Al-Ahzaab) All types of spiritualEnlightment and worldly blessings will descend on Earth in his time. Wealth will flow like water, everyone will be independent and have surplus wealth and property to the extent that nobody will be in the need of Zakat and Sadaqa thus receiving of Zakat and Sadaqa will be discarded.
    All hearts will be free from misery, envy, malice, and jealousy. Each harmful animal will be made harmless. Camels will graze with the lions and the cheetahs with cattle. , The Jackal will live with the sheep and protect them as if it were a sheep dog. Peace, harmony and tranquillity will prevail in the world. People will be in complete agreement, wars will cease, the earth will be filled with peace like a silver basin and it will sprout with vegetation like at the time of Prophet Adam. The fertility of the land will increase to the extent that if a seed is planted in a rock, it will sprout. 700 mudd of wheat will sprout without ploughing the land. The earth will produce so much fruit that a large group of people will sit to eat a bunch of grapes or a pomegranate and they will be satisfied and use it's peel as an umbrella. There will also be blessing in milk. The milk of a single she camel will be sufficient to satisfy the hunger of a large group of people. A cow will produce what is sufficient for a tribe of people, and a sheep will produce milk, which is sufficient for a family of people. Horses will be cheap as they will be never ridden in war and bulls will be expensive, as they will be needed to plough the land.
    Life will be very pleasant and enjoyable after his descension and the Muslims will live in comfort in his reign as a Khalifh.

    Ashahadu An Laa illaaha illal llahu
    Wa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu
    ''I bear witness that there is nothing worthy of worship but Allah
    who is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.''
    "O Allah, Shower Your Peace upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious".
    We are living in the Time of Dajjal where there's the darkness of ignorance, corruption, injustice and oppression Prevails, this is the darkish hour in human history, this is the time that we Muslims should be Praying with purity of hearts, that ALLAH bring His Justice in it entirety on this Earth in a way that only He can. ALLAH warned the wicked in the Quran, in Surah 67(16-17-18) Do you feel secure that He who is in Heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the Earth when it shakes (as in an Earthquake) or do you feel secure that He who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones) So that you shall know how (terrible) was my warning? the Followers of the Dajjal! These are the People who are working to bring disgrace on Islam and humiliation to the Believers, and we should also be Praying for the Help and mercy of ALLAH on the Believers, The Quran; in (surah 40:7-9) 7. Those who sustain the Throne (of Allah. and those around it Sing Glory and Praise to their Rabb; believe in Him; and implore Forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Rabb! Thy Reach is over all things, in Mercy and Knowledge. Forgive, then, those who turn in Repentance, and follow Thy Path; and preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire!

    8. "And grant, our Rabb! That they enter the Gardens of Eternity, which Thou hast promised to them, and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their posterity! For Thou art (He), the Exalted in Might, Full of Wisdom.

    9. "And preserve them from (all) ills; and any whom Thou dost preserve from ills that Day,- on them wilt Thou have bestowed Mercy indeed: and that will be truly (for them) the highest Achievement". ALLAH said in the Quran;(surah 2:186)
    186. When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he called on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way. The Statement of ALLAH go on in the Quran;(Surah 60:1-2-3)

    1. O ye who believe! Take not my enemies and yours as friends (or protectors),- offering them (your) love, even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have (on the contrary) driven out the Prophet and yourselves (from your homes), (simply) because ye believe in Allah your Rabb! If ye have come out to strive in My Way and to seek My Good Pleasure, (take them not as friends), holding secret converse of love (and friendship) with them: for I know full well all that ye conceal and all that ye reveal. And any of you that does this has strayed from the Straight Path. 2. If they were to get the better of you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you for evil: and they desire that ye should reject the Truth.
    3. Of no profit to you will be your relatives and your children on the Day of Judgment: He will judge between you: for Allah sees well all that ye do. In the Muslim world today! And for about 1400 years we have had among us Powerful Munafiqns (Hypocrites) and Great Deceivers who Pretended to be Muslims they are apart of the Followers of the Dajjal, Although many of them had declared their acceptance of Islam, the change was only superficial and they continued to plot against Islam and the Believers. ALLAH! knows what is in their hearts, but we can watch their actions, we the Believers Muslims people have the task of watching and observing, their behavior, their activities and the movements of the Munafiqins, but not spying on them, and we have to Shielded the Believers from the sinister evil and Danger that the (hypocrites)represented. the Quran;(Surah59:11)
    11. Hast thou not observed the Hypocrites say to their misbelieving brethren among the People of the Book? - "If ye are expelled, we too will go out with you, and we will never hearken to any one in your affair; and if ye are attacked (in fight) we will help you". But Allah is witness that they are indeed liars. (These are the Statement of ALLAH). now I continued to address the Munafiqins! because they acted in secrecy and because they know all the developments of the Muslims from within, they present a greater threat to the wellbeing of the Muslims society than the outright open enemies of ALLAH! the Munafiqins are so intertwine in the fabric of Islam, It will take the Power of ALLAH, the Hand of ALLAH, Himself to remove this Evil!

    It has been proven in the Sahih Ahadith, as already stated, that the
    Dajjal will not be able to enter Makkah and Madinah, and that there will
    be angels at the gates of Makkah to ward him off and prevent him from
    entering.
    It was reported from Abu Hurairah that the Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhe wa
    sallam) said, "Neither the Dajjal nor PLAGUE will be able to enter
    Madinah." As mentioned above, the Dajjal will camp outside Madinah, and it
    will be shaken by three tremors. Every hypocrite and sinner will go out to
    join the Dajjal, and every believer and Muslim will stay. That day will be
    called the Day of Purification (Yawm al-Khalas). Most of those who go out
    to join the Dajjal will be women. As the Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhe wa
    sallam) said, "Verily it (Madinah) is good; its evil will be eliminated
    and its goodness will be obvious."
    Allah SWT said:
    "Women impure are for men impure, and men impure for women impure, and
    women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of
    purity'" (Al-Nur 24-26)

Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your promise is the truth,Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your words is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and You are the Truth!... Bismillah,IR-Rahman,IR-Rahim. ALLAH Ta'ala said:
    "It is not befitting for a believing man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allaah and His Messenger, to have any option about their decision." [al-Ahzaab 33:36]
    And Allah ta'ala said:
    "Believers! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger and those charged with authority among you; if you differ in anything, refer it to Allaah and the Messenger (for judgment) if you (truly) believe in Allaah and the Last Day: that is best, and most suitable for final determination" [an-Nisa' 4:59] Abu Hurairah reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)said:He who obeyed me, ALLAH and he who disobeyed me, disobeyed ALLAH. and he who obeyed the ruler, obeyed me and he who disobeyed the ruler, disobeyed me. Verily the ruler is a shield. One fights behind him and is safeguarded through him. if the ruler orders with ALLAH-Consciousness and acts justly,he is entitled to a reward for that and if he speaks otherwise, he will have to bear a burden of his misdeeds. The People of Authority
    Two views have been expressed by the Sahaabah and the 'ulama (scholars) as to who are the ones "charged with authority". The first is that they are the 'ulama and the other is that they are the rulers.

    In reality, it applies to both groups, because both the 'ulama and the rulers are in charge of the affairs concerning which Allah has sent His Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) .
    As for the 'ulama, they are charged with protecting the Deen, explaining it, teaching it, and refuting those who deviate from it or try to alter it. Allah ta'ala gave them this charge, as He said:
    "These [prophets] were the men to whom We granted the Book and Judgement and Prophethood; if these people [of the Scripture] reject them, behold! We shall entrust their charge to a new people who do not reject them..." [al-An'aam 6:89]
    This is indeed a great assignment to the 'ulama that requires from people to obey and follow them. `In such matters about which there is no clear command or instruction in the Qur'an and Sunnah, the problem is decided keeping in view similar and resembling cases. This mode of deciding about its being permitted or prohibited is called Ijtihad. Evidently, this process can be employed by only such people who has full command about the various branches of knowledge pertaining to Qur'an and Sunnah. Not every person can do it nor is supposed to do it. From here we conclude that the rulers, judges or a bureaucrat in a Muslim country should be learned scholars, i.e., an `Alim well versed in Qur'an and Sunnah; so that they can interpret the laws of Islam with utmost care and in a befitting and sincere manner. they should do the job sincerely and with a pious intention. With such mode of works, they will be bestowed with reward in every case. However, if their interpretation is correct, they will receive a double reward. Amr bin `Al-`As (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)saying, "When a judge utilizes his skill of judgement and comes to a right decision, he will have a double reward, but when he uses his judgement and commits a mistake, he will have a single reward.''
    [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

    And as for the rulers, they are charged with establishing the Deen, safeguarding it, compelling people to adhere to it, and punishing those who deviate from it. These Rulers have not carry out their responsibility to the Muslims people, the Ulama should be abil to holded the Rulers Accountabil for their actions or their inactions through the Sharia. Thus these two groups are in charge of the affairs of the muslim people, and other people are their followers and subjects. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Once Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) was speaking to us when, a bedouin came and asked him: "When will the Last Day be?'' Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) continued his talk. Some of those present thought that he had heard him but disliked the interruption and the other said that he had not hear him. When Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) concluded his speech he asked, "Where is the one who inquired about the Last Day?'' The man replied: "Here I am.'' Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) replied, "When the practice of honouring a trust is lost, expect the Last Day.'' He asked: "How could it be lost?'' He replied, "When the government is entrusted to the undeserving people, then wait for the Last Day.'' [Al-Bukhari]. Here a very important sign of the nearness of the Day of Judgement has been mentioned: The affairs of the world will be in the hands of wicked and undeserving people. The sinners and wicked people will become the leaders of the world. The preaching pulpits would also be occupied by people who would be greedy and ignorant. They will be devoid of piety and abstinence. the Muslims people gets the Rulers or leaders they deserve, if they the people are good, then they deserve a good Ruler or leader,but if the people are bad then they get the Ruler or leader they deserve. Auf ibn Malik, Al-Ashja'i reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)said: Your Best rulers are those whom you Love and they Love you,and you bless them and bless you. and your worst rulers are those whom you hate and they hate you, and you curse them and they curse you. he(Auf) said:we observed,Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ),we may then overthrow them in such a case? He Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam )said: No,so Long as they establish prayer amongst you. Behold,he who is ruler and he (the ruled)finds him committing somthing of the nature of disobedience to ALLAH, he should dislike what he (the ruler) commits as a disobedience of ALLAH but should not rise in revolt against him. So if the Rulers are Tyrants in a Islamic Society then they are the Will of ALLAH! and Their removel at this present time is the will of ALLAH. Under other circumstances they would be a punishment on the people, until the muslims people turn their Hearts back toward ALLAH with Sincerity. ! And once they had turn back to ALLAH, then the Tyrants would have been remove, if they the Tyrants were remove by any other means and not replace with the Good and righteous people then the Society (will)would falls in to confusion and Chaos.(Iraq,Egypt,Libya,Sudan,Tunisia,___,____,___ _,___,___and___). Matters of Dispute
    Furthermore, there is in the above ayah (an-Nisa' 59) a clear evidence that all matters of disagreement, in all aspects of the Deen, should be referred to Allah and His Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam - and to no one else.
    Anyone referring disputes to other than Allah and His Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) opposes this command by Allah. And anyone who calls to other than Allah's and His Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ' judgment to resolve disagreements, calls indeed with the call of Jahiliyyah 4.
    One does not truly enter the realm of Iman or Faith until he refers all differences arising among the muslim people to Allah and His Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). For this reason, this ayah continues as, "... if you believe in Allah and the Last Day..."
    Thus if this condition (of referring disputes to Allah and His Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ) is not satisfied by a person, this implies the absence of Iman in him.
    This ayah should be a sufficient clarification and guidance in this matter (of obeying the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ). It constitutes a protection and a support for those who abide by it; and it is a powerful refutation and attack against those who deny it, as Allah ta'ala said:
    "... That he who would perish might perish in clear evidence [of the truth], and that he who would remain alive might live in clear evidence [of the truth]. And verily Allaah is All-Hearing, All Knowing..." [al-Anfaal 8:42]
    The earlier and later Muslims agreed that referring matters to Allah means referring them to His Book, and referring matters to the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam means referring them to him personally during his life, and to his Sunnah after his death.
    The Excellence of Obeying the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) The above ayah (an-Nisa' 59) ends with, "... that is best, and most suitable for final determination..." This means, "That with which I commanded you (to obey ME and obey My Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the people of authority, and to refer disputes to(Me and My Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ) is better for you in this life and in the Hereafter; it leads to your happiness in both lives. Therefore, it is best and most rewarding for you."
    This indicates that obeying Allah ta'ala and His Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam , and taking them as the referees, is the means to immediate and continued happiness.
    Anyone who examines closely the evils that existence world today and in the Pass, they will find that each of them is caused by disobeying the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam . Similarly, every good in the world today and in the pass results from obeying him. Furthermore, all the evils and pains in the Hereafter result from disobeying him Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Thus, all the evils in both lives are caused by disobeying the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and by its consequences. If people obeyed him Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam properly, there would be no evil on earth. This applies equally to these worldly events today! And the general natural catastrophes and calamities, and to the personal evils, pains, and sorrow that are occurring to people Today.
    In obeying him Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is a refuge and a protection for those who want to prosper and be happy. And this prosperity and happiness cannot be achieved until one strives first to learn what the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught, and then confirm it with true actions.
    The Human Excellence
    There are two additional actions which complete the happiness arising from truly obeying Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam . The first is to invite people to obey him Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam , and the second is to have patience and perseverance in fulfilling this mission.
    Thus the human excellence is confined to four matters:
    First, knowing the Message of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Second, acting in accordance with this knowledge.
    Third, spreading this knowledge among people and inviting them to it.
    Fourth, persevering and striving in accomplishing all this.
    One who seeks to learn how the Sahaabah (R) lived and who want to follow them should know that this was indeed their way [so let him follow it). A poet once said:
    "If you want to reach those folk, follow their way: It is quite manifest for those who aspire to it."
    A'isha radi Allahu anha was once asked about the verse,
    "Then We gave the Book the Qur'an) for inheritance to such of Our slaves whom We chose (the followers of Muhammad) Then of them are some who wrong their ownselves, and of them are some who follow a middle course, and of them are some who are, by Allah's Leave, foremost in good deeds. That (inheritance of the Qur'an), that is indeed a great grace." (Surah Fatir:32)
    She answered "'My son! They are in Paradise. Those who raced towards good deeds are those who lived during the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who testified to their sustenance and Paradise. As for those who were moderate, they followed him among his companions and caught up with him. And as for those who wronged themselves are concerned., they are people like me and you."............(

    Re: Imprisoned



    May Allah grant you quick and complete relief soon. Keep reciting the last two Surah of the Holy Qur'an, Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas, as much as possible. Also recite the following Du'a:



    بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

    Bismillahil-lazi la yadhurru ma’asmihi shai’un fil ardhi wa la fis-sama’i wa huwas-sami’ul aleem

    In the Name of Allah with Whose Name there is protection against every kind of harm in the earth or in heaven, and He is All-Hearing and All-Knowing
    (Sunan Abu Daud)



    اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ

    Allahumma inni as’alukal-’afwa wal ‘afiyah fid-dunya wal-akhirah

    O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness and my well-being in this world and the Hereafter
    (Sunan Ibn Majah)



    اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَينِ يَدَيَّ, وَمِنْ خَلْفِي, وَعَنْ يَمِينِي, وَعَنْ شِمَالِي وَمِنْ فَوْقِي, وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ أَن أُْغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي

    Allahummah-fazni min baini yadaiya, wa min khalfi, wa ‘an yameeni, wa ‘an shimali wa min fauqi, wa a’uzu bi’azamatika an ughtala min tahti

    O Allah protect me from my front, behind me, from my right and my left, and from above me, and I seek refuge in Your Magnificence from being taken unaware from beneath me
    (Sunan Ibn Majah)



    أَعُوذُ بِكلِمَاتِ الله التّامّاتِ مِن شَرّ مَا خَلَقَ

    A’uzu bikalimatillahit-tammaati min sharri ma khalaq

    I seek protection in the perfect words of Allah from every evil that has been created
    (Sahih Muslim)



    اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبَرَصِ، وَالْجُنُونِ، وَالْجُذَامِ، وَمِنْ سَيِّئِ الأَسْقَامِ

    Allahumma inni a’uzubika minal barasi, wal junuuni wal juzami, wa min sayyi’il-asqam

    O Allah, I seek refuge in You from leprosy, madness, elephantiasis, and evil diseases
    (Sunan Abi Daud)

    The Dajjal the enemy of mankind, The Enemy of ALLAH! (part 2)

    Bismillah Ir-Rahman, Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH's auspiciousness, whose Name is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An Laa illaaha illal llahuWa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah who is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.'' O ALLAH, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". I am Satisfied with ALLAH as My Rabb and Cherisher, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger of ALLAH)sallallahu alaihi was salam) I seek Protection with ALLAH! With the Glorious and Noble Face of ALLAH! With the Complete and Perfect words of ALLAH! With the Exalted Attributes of ALLAH! From the Punishment of Hell; From chastisement in the Grave; From the Trial of Life and Death; From the Mischief of the dajjal. There is no power nor strength with (anyone) save Allah. ALLAH is Good and Only accept that which is Good. ALLAH is the Truth and only accept that which True. ALLAH is Pure and only accept that which is Pure. Ya ALLAH! ALL the praises are for You, You are the Holder of the Heavens and the Earth, And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are are the Sustainer of the Heavens and the Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All the praises are for you; You have the Possession of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All the praises are for You; You are Light(Nur) of the Heavens and Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are the King of the Heavens and the Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are the Truth and Your Promise is the Truth, And Your word is the Truth and the Meeting with You is true, And Paradise is True And Hell is true and All the Prophets(peace be upon them) are true; And Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is true, And the Day of Resurrection is True. Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your promise is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your words is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and You are the Truth! Ya ALLAH you have promise and your promise is the absolute truth!...Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) explained Dajjal one morning. He lowered Dajjal so much and emphasized (his mischief) so much that we thought he was in that date garden (in person).Seeking refuge in Allah from the mischief of Dajjal, Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)he had taught them this prayer that he often repeated himself: “I seek refuge in You from the mischief of Dajjal.In addition, after finishing the final tashahhud of the prayer (salat) he advised us to seek refuge in Allah from the following four things: the Hell torment, the grave torment, the mischief of life and death and the evil of Masihu’d Dajjal. Including those Sunnah prayers in his principles of methods, also mentioned avoiding the mischief of Dajjal in the prayers he made after morning (fajr) and evening (maghrib) prayers: O ALLAH! I seek Your protection from the torture of hell, and I seek Your protection from the torture of the grave, and I seek refuge with You from the mischief of life and death, and I seek Your protection from the mischief of Dajjal pretending as Messiah.
    [Sahih al-Bukhari 2:102, Muslim 1:412, 588] 2. Memorising certain Ayat from Surat al-Kahf. Al-Hafiz al-Dhahabi said, "Seeking refuge with Allah from the Dajjal is mentioned in many Mutawatir Ahadith (those with numerous lines of narrators). One way of doing this is to memorise ten Ayat from Surat al-Kahf." Abul-Dira reported that Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) said, "Whoever memorises the first ten Ayat of Surat al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjal." (Abu Dawud)
    3. Keeping away from the Dajjal One way to be protected from the tribulation of the Dajjal is to live in Madina or Makkah. Abu Hurayrah reported that Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) said, "There are angels standing at the gates of Madina; neither plague nor the Dajjal can enter it." (al-Bukhari, Muslim.) Abu Bakr reported that Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)said, "The terror caused by the Dajjal will not enter Madina. At that time it will have seven gates; there will be two angels guarding every gate." (al-Bukhari) Anas said, "Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) said, 'The Dajjal will come to Madina, and he will find angles guarding it. Neither plague nor the Dajjal will enter it, inshallah.' " (at-Tirmidhi, al-Bukhari)It has been proven in the Saheeh Hadith that the Dajjal will not enter Makkah or Madina, because the angels will prevent him from entering these two places which are sanctuaries and are safe from him. When he camps at the salt-marsh (Sabkhah) of Madina, it will be shaken by three tremors - either physically or metaphorically - and every hypocrite will go out to join the Dajjal. On that day, Madina will be cleansed of its dross and will be refined and purified; and Allah knows best. Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) also advises reading the first 10 verses of the Chapter al-Kahf to avoid the mischief of Dajjal.“Among his mischief is that he has a heaven and a hell by his side. However, his hell is Heaven and his heaven is Hell. Whoever is tested with his fire should ask for help from Allah and read the first 10 verses of the Chapter al-Kahf. Then, his fire will give coolness and peace as it happened to Abraham.
    In addition, apart from the narration for protection from the evil of Dajjal, there are narrations that say, “One who reads the Chapter al-Kahf will be protected from the mischief of Dajjal“one who reads the last 10 verses and “one who memorizes the first ten verses will be protected.
    What is the Divine Wisdom in the reading that chapter (surah)?

    In that chapter, ALLAH, the Almighty, is introduced with His personality and attributes and it is explained how, with His help, Ashab-u Kahf were rescued from the evil of the ruler of the time. One can be protected from the evil of Dajjal with the help of ALLAH. That chapter gives the believers that security and Protection. An important wisdom of the fact that that chapter has been read in Masjids every Friday since the time of the Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) , And is a Protection with Allah's words till the day of Judgment, from the evil of The Dajjal. When Muhammed al-Hejazi (d. 1625) evaluates the advice of reading the Chapter al-Kahf for the protection from the mischief of Dajjal, he says that Dajjal can only be resisted with the Words of ALLAH(the Qur’an and the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) . He explains the secret as one who is strong against Dajjal is strong only with the Words of ALLAH (Qur’an and Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam). The tricks, doubts and apprehensions of Dajjal cannot influence, in any way, a person who has the Qur’an and Sunnah in his heart, and who Truly Love Islam(the Din of ALLAH)who fills his heart and Soul with its sacred truths and practices of Islam .
    You have too have a True Love for ALLAH!, His Rasulallah(Sallallahu alayhi was salam)!,and His Deen!(ISLAM)!!!

ALLAH is Good and Only accept that which is Good. ALLAH is the Truth and only accept that which True. ALLAH is Pure and only accept that which is Pure. Ya ALLAH!

Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your promise is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your words is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and You are the Truth! Ya ALLAH you have promise and your promise is the absolute truth!...Further Sheikhul Islam writes: "This Dua (supplication) is reported to be recited both within salaat and without. It is a known fact that the things mentioned with protection from Dajjaal in this Dua, like protection from the punishment of Hell and the grave and from the trials of life and death, are things which every person performing salaat has been ordained to seek protection from. This is because these things affect every person, and salvation cannot be achieved except by being saved from them. This indicates that the trials and vices of Dajjaal are also similar Hadhrat Huzaifah says, the Dajjal will be blind in his left eye. He will have very thick hair on his body and he will also have his own type of Jannat and Jahannam with him: Although his Jannat will appear as Jannat, in reality it will be Jahannam and likewise though his Jahannam will appear to be Jahannam, in reality it will be Jannat. The term "DAJJAL" means "Imposter", one who conceals the truth with falsehood, a "falsifier", one who deceives, deludes, beguiles, circumvents, is very deceitful or a "The Great deceiver". The word also means "To smear the whole body of camel with tar". Thus, according to this meaning the Dajjal would mean a great falsifier who would cover the whole Earth with conceit and delusion and infidelity or with his beguiled adherents as tar covers the body. According to another version, he would be called Dajjal because he will travel to most of the regions of the Earth. He would basically be a great falsifier who would rise and he would, by his vicious tricks and devices, lead people astray from the path of righteousness.Following a great victory of the Muslims (under the Mahdi) against the Romans, Muslims will take over Rome. Then, the Dajjal (False Messiah) will appear and a greater war will start between his followers and the believers for 40 days (longer that usual days) and will end when 'Eessa ("Jesus") will come and slay him along with his followers. All the remaining people will convert into Islam. Peace will pervade the whole world. DETAILS OF THE DAJJAL: Although the word 'Dajjal' - which comes from the Arabic word meaning 'to deceive', 'to cheat', 'to smear with tar' - does not appear in the Qur'an, the Dajjal is described in considerable detail in all major collections of Hadith, including the two well-known Sahih collections of Imam al-Bukhari and Imam Muslim, especially in the sections which are concerned with 'the last days', the period of time immediately preceding the end of the world, as well as in many other compilations of Hadith such as Al-Mishkat Al-Masabih, The Gardens of the Righteous, and Al-Muwatta' of Imam Malik: There are three aspects of the Dajjal:
    There is Dajjal the individual.
    .There is Dajjal as a worldwide social and cultural phenomenon.
    There is Dajjal as an unseen force.
    (According to scholarly opinions, the latter two aspects will be established before Dajjal the individual will appear. That is, he will appear when the support system he needs is in place throughout the world either directly or indirectly).(That System is allreddedy in Place! throughout the world either directly or indirectly)
    Dajjal the individual will be the epitome of the Dajjal system, the ultimate kaffir, and therefore inevitably to be chosen as the leader of that system, when he appears. The letters KFR are the basic root letters of the Arabic word Kufr, or Kaffir. Kufr is to cover up and to reject. The kaffir is the one who covers up the true nature of existence - and who rejects the messengers who are sent by Allah to show people how to live in harmony with what is within in them and with what is without them, and to worship and have knowledge of Allah. it is mentioned that kufr is one system. The Kufr system is the Dajjal. The three aspects of Dajjal are in fact interlinked to the Dajjal indivisible.

    The Dajjal is also described in the Hadith as having many eyes on both sides, and travelling about the world in large hops. Among other descriptions of the Dajjal in the Hadith collections we find the following:
    The Dajjal can be heard all over the world at the same time.
    The Dajjal will talk of the Fire (Jahannam), and make it seem like the Garden (Jannah). Dajjal [the Sick Man of Humanity] will talk of the Garden, and make it seem like the Fire. [Two examples of these relate to matters of justice and peace. He will proclaim justice but he will pursue injustice by deceit, and he will proclaim peace but he will deceives and pursue the opposite of peace and every proclaimation by him will be nothing but deceit,and of the so-called peace will be nothing but a Trick. . That is, he will do exactly opposite of what he proclaims].
    The following are facts taken from the sayings mentioned regarding Dajjal the individual:
    Name and Title
    His name will be Abdullah, son of Cyatid (it's possible that the correct reading of his father's name may actually be "Syadid"). His title is al-Masih ad-Dajjal meaning "The False Messiah". However, he also claims divinity, thus he is also a false deity.
    FAMILY LINEAGE
    The Dajjal will be of Jewish origin.
    CHARACTER
    There will be Deceit in his appearent!,there will be Deceit in his every word! He will be very irritable and get extremely angry, and the first thing (by the incitement of which) he would come out before the public would be his anger..
    PHYSICAL FEATURES
    There will be Deceit in his appearent!,He will be blind in one eye, while his other will be like a "floating grape". He will be short, fat, hen-toed, crooked-legged, with black curly, woolly hair, and a ruddy complexion. He will have on his forehead, between his eyes, the word "kaffir", which any believer, literate or illiterate, can read.
    DETAILS OF HIS EMERGENCE AND RULE
    The Dajjal will rule over the world for 40 days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest like regular days. Thus his rule will last for 40 months and 40 days. He will appear from the East (in Iran, Afghanistan) and begin his campaign of mischief and corruption between Syria and Iraq. The Dajjal will have a large following of mainly and Millions from the U.S. and Palestine, the 70,000 Jews from Isfahan, Iran wearing Persian Shawls, Bedouins, and illegitimate people (those born outside of marriage), carrying ‘blue helmets’.

    Imraan son of Hussain says the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: "Those who hear about Dajjal should stay far from him. By Allah! A person will approach him thinking him to be a Believer, but on seeing his amazing feats he will become his follower."
    Ubadah son of Saamit once said, "I have explained Dajjal to you but I fear that you might not have understood. Maseeh Dajjal will be short, and his legs will be crooked. The hair on his head will be extremely twisted. He will have one eye (with which he can see, and this is the protruding eye about which other ahadeeth inform us) while his other eye will be totally flat. It will neither be deep (in its socket) nor protruding.
    If you still have any doubt regarding him then remember that your Sustainer (Rabb) is not one-eyed. (Because Dajjal will eventually claim to be Allah). In a lengthy Hadeeth narrated by Abu Saeed, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam is reported to have said: "Dajjal will come but it will be prohibited and impossible for him to enter Madina. He will set up camp in a barren land outside Madina. One person who will be the best of persons will confront him by saying: "I bear witness that you are the very Dajjal about whom the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has informed us."
    Dajjal will say to his followers, "If I kill this person and then revive him, you people will still doubt me?"
    They will reply, "No."
    He will then kill this person, (according to another narration he will split this person in two) and thereafter revive him. This person will say, "I am totally convinced more than ever before that you definitely are Dajjal."
    Dajjal will attempt to kill this person again but his efforts will now be in vain.
    (According to a hadeeth, after this incident, Dajjal will not be able to harm anyone.)
    Hadhrat Anas says that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: "Dajjal will come and finally reach the outskirts of Madina. There will be three tremors. At that time, all the disbelievers and hypocrites will flee (from Madinah).
    In this way Madinah Munawwarah will be purified of all the evil hypocrites.
    Hadhrat Asma daughter of Yazeed narrates that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam once came to my house and there he spoke about Dajjal. He said that before the emergence of Dajjal there will be three spells of drought. In one year the skies will withhold one third of its rains, causing the earth to withhold one third of its produce. In the second year the skies will withhold two thirds of its rains, causing the earth to withhold two thirds of its produce. In the third year, the skies will withhold all its water and there will be no crops that year. All animals, be they hooved or toothed, will die as a result. The greatest evil of Dajjal will be to approach anyone and ask him: "If I bring your camel back to life, will you then believe that I am your Rabb?"
    This person will reply, "Most certainly."
    Thereafter Shaytaan (from the many Shayaateen who will always accompany the Dajjal) will appear before this person in the form of his camel with a fat hump and fully laden udders.
    Likewise Dajjal will appear before another person whose father and brother have long passed away and ask him, "If I bring your father and brother back to life will you believe that I am your Rabb?"
    This person will reply, "Why not?"
    Shaytaan will once again take on the appearance of his brother and father...
    (Ahmad)
    Hadhrat Mughira son of Shu'bah says that, "No one asked the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam about Dajjal as much as myself. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said to me, "How can he possibly harm you?"
    I said: "People are saying that he will have with him a mountain of bread (provisions) and a river of water."
    The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: "In the sight of Allah he is much more disgraced than that. (i.e. Allah knows full well that in reality Dajjal has nothing with him, and all that which appears to be with him is but deception).

    (Bukhari and Muslim).
    Other Ahadeeth regarding Dajjal inform us that:

    His name will be Abdullah son of Cyatid.


    He will emerge between Shaam and Iraq, and his emergence will become known when he is in Isfahaan at a place called Yahudea.


    The Jews of Isfahaan will be his main followers.


    Apart from having mainly Jewish followers, he will have a great number of women followers as well.


    He will have with him fire and water, but in reality the fire will be cold water while that what appears to be cold water will in reality be a blazing fire.


    Those who obey him will enter "his Jannat" while those who disobey him will enter "his Jahannam."


    There will be a thick fingernail-like object in his left eye.


    The letters "Kaa" "Faa" "Raa" will appear on his forehead and will be deciphered by all Mu'mineen regardless of them being literate or not.


    He will have a ruddy complexion.


    He will travel at great speeds and his means of conveyance will be a gigantic mule. It is said that he will play beautiful music which will attract the music lovers.


    Dajjal will lay claim to prophethood.


    He will then lay claim to Divinity.


    He will perform unusual feats.


    He will travel the entire world. He will send down rains upon those who believe in him, which in turn will cause good crops to grow, trees to bear fruit and cattle to grow fat.


    He will cause drought to those who disbelieve in him, resulting in starvation and hardship for them.


    During those trying times the Mu'mineen (Believers) will satiate their hunger through the recitation of Subhanallah and La'ilaha Ilallahu.


    The hidden treasures will spill forth at his command. He will stay on this Earth for a period of forty days; the length of the first day will be one year, the second day will be equal to one month, the third day will be equal to a week and the remaining days will be normal.


    He will be unable to enter Makkah because the Malaikah (Angels) will be guarding the Holy City and nor will he be able to enter Madina because there will be Malaikah guarding each of the seven entrances to Madina; From Madina he will proceed towards Shaam where Imaam Mahdi will be stationed.


    Finally Eessa alayhis salaam will descend from the heavens and pursue him and eventually kill him at present day Lydda (Baad Lud).

    However, before this Dajjal appears, there would also appear various False Prophets within the Muslim Community, most of which have already appeared.

    The Dajjal the Enemy of ALLAH, The Enemy of Mankind! (part 1)

    Bismillah,ir-Rahman,ir-Rahim. Ashahadu An Laa illaaha illal llahu
    Wa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu

    ''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah
    who is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.''
    "O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family.
    Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O ALLAH, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". I am Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam . (This is the Statement of ALLAH in the Quran) ” Surah 60 - Al Mumtahinah - Ayat - 001 O ye who believe! Take not my enemies and yours as friends (or protectors),- offering them (your) love, even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have (on the contrary) driven out the Prophet and yourselves (from your homes), (simply) because ye believe in God your Lord! If ye have come out to strive in My Way and to seek My Good Pleasure, (take them not as friends), holding secret converse of love (and friendship) with them: for I know full well all that ye conceal and all that ye reveal. And any of you that does this has strayed from the Straight Path.
    Surah 60 - Al Mumtahinah - Ayat - 002 If they were to get the better of you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you for evil: and they desire that ye should reject the Truth. I declare that ALLAH's Enemies as His Enemies, and I donot take His Enemies as Friends or protectors. (The Dajjal and his followers are the Enemies of ALLAH). And I also Declare that the Believers are the Friends of ALLAH, and I donot take them as enemies.
    Belief in Qadr (Divine Decree) is the sixth Islamic article of faith, which means that Allah (SWT) has decreed everything that happens in the universe according to His Will and plan and His prior knowledge. The issue of Qadar comes from the unity in the matter of the Lordship of Allah (SWT) (Tawhid ar-Rububiyah), which means to believe that all creation, sovereignty and planning belong to Allah alone (SWT)!. When Allah (SWT) created everything He (SWT) determined when each thing would come into existence and when it would perish. He (SWT) also determined everything's qualities and their nature. Therefore, nothing happens or exists without His permission and outside of His will. To understand this better, it is the will of Allah (SWT) that He (SWT) decided to create us, humans, and everything around us and permitted us to make free choices. In other words, when we plan to do something, it is the will of Allah (SWT) that He (SWT) gave us the freedom of making Intelligence or unintelligence choices and but we are the ones who are deciding what we should do or choose, (But It's ALLAH who Grants Wisdom.) This is the reason why we are held accountable for our actions. Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an 002.286 On no soul doth God place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray): "Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith." [2:286].

    . In Islam, people are not held accountable for things which were out of their control i.e. forgetfulness and forced to do. We must Belief in the Decree of ALLAH, the Good and Bad, these World events are what ALLAH has permitted the Good and bad many of These events are Great Deceives Tricks, that has been planed and manufactured by The U.S, Israel, the British and the France these are Governments that will benfit the most. in order to stabilize the Dajjal support system,and to make sure its well in place,a DAJJAL- system, that is up and running, that shall await his arrival. This DAJJAL-system, will be the most evil and most corrupt satanic, kaafir force in history. This Dajjal system can only be established through the trick of nocking down every Industrial Giants in the World and to destabilizion of the Arab Governments in the Middle east and North Africa.and Eventually the rest of the world will fall, that's their Planed, the Planed of Satan. but they Pland and ALLAH to Pland and ALLAH is the Best of Planner. There is only one thing Standing between the Dajjal and total world domination and that is ISLAM! In these unstabil Governments the people are calling for Democracy! And In every situation there are irreligious people Atheists, Secularist,Christians,Jews,the Munafiqeen who are in the forefront, Leading the way Calling with the Voices of satan. In the Present state of the Ummah of Rasulallah (sallallahu alaihi was salam) capitalist democracy has emerged as the dominant influenced and it is to this that the Dajjal wants allegiance of the people of this world. And this allegiance it has been obtained even from the people of the faith known as Muslims , whose foundation lies in the sovereignty of the One ALLAH, One True ALLAH. The fact that there is no Islam without Tawheed, the Sharia has been broadly overlooked and in its place now stands the will of the people- capitalist democracy in all Muslims regions. The Sharia, the Laws of ALLAH, Islamic Laws are Better for the Muslims, The people who are in the forefront calling for Democracy are against Islam! these people are agents of the Dajjal. with Tricks of Deception to make the Muslims people belief and accept the irreligious ideas of the Dajjal through democracy! And because of these irreligious people who are trying to turn the muslims people away from ALLAH, .from the Laws of ALLAH, this is the Time to accept the Laws of ALLAH!; and this is the Time just before the Emergence of the Dajjal. The entire secular world (Jews/Freemasons, Atheist, Christians, Hindus Etc.) shall unite under the banner of the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) against Islam. Islam will be the only force standing between him and the total world domination.
    Decisions of Allaah and His Messenger

    Allah ta'ala said:
    "It is not befitting for a believing man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allaah and His Messenger, to have any option about their decision." [al-Ahzaab 33:36] (ALLAH! has decided and given us Islam as our Din, The Holy Quran as our guidance,Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)as our example and the Sharia as our Law.) This ayah indicates that when it is confirmed that Allah ta'ala or His Rasulallah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) have made a decision or have informed about a particular matter, then no believer, male or female, may choose differently. Any opposing choice would contradict Iman.
    Ash-Shafi'ee (r) reported a consensus among the scholars of the Sahaabah, the Tabi'een, and their followers, that:
    "If a sunnah of Allah's Rasulallah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) becomes manifest to a person, he does not have any choice but to follow it, regardless of what other people say."
    No Muslim scholar disputes or doubts the truth of this statement. The only evidence that people are required to follow [besides Allah's Book] is the words of the Infallible Rasulallah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) "who does not say anything out of (his own) desire" [an-Najm 53:3)]
    ALLAH has decided that the Sharia is the Muslims Law.Other people's talks could, at best, be acceptable to follow. But in no way may they oppose or outweigh the Texts (of the Quraan and Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) and the Sharia). We ask Allah ta'ala to protect us from the failure [incurred on those who do not abide by this].
    The Guidance Is in Obeying the Messenger
    Also, Allah ta'ala said:
    "Say: Obey Allah and obey the Messenger: but if you turn away then he (the Messenger) is only responsible for the duty placed on him, and you for that placed on you. If you obey him, you shall be on right guidance. The Messenger's duty is only clear deliverance [of the Message]" [an-Nur 24:54]
    Here Allah ta'ala makes obeying the Rasulallah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) a condition for guidance; guidance cannot be acquired without this obedience. The duty of the Rasulallah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is to deliver the Message; and people's duty is to follow, obey, and submit to him. Al-Bukhari (r) reported that Az-Zuhri 1 said:
    "From Allah [comes] the knowledge; from the Rasulallah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) [comes] the deliverance [of the knowledge]; and from us [comes] the submission [to the Message]." This is the Time just before the Emergence of the Dajjal. Time has gone by and The Islam known and practiced today all over the muslims world has become Strange again through the centuries by various elements,and satan deceived mankind again,with Colonialism,Socialism,Communism,marxism,Capitalism and now with Democracy! and Eventually people took up the ways of their ForeFathers,who had accepted Islam and who were once muslims,whom eventually abandoned Islam,They went back in to the darkness with Colonialism and then with Socialism,Communism until Finally, Islam became Strange again, just like it had started and just like Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)had foretold. Now what is known as Islam is devoid of its very soul and life and But the Nur (Light) of Islam has not gone out It's still burns very Bright, But That Nur(Light)has to be burning in the Hearts of the believers,through knowledge and Faith. there are Muslims people all of us who Belive in ALLAH and the Last day, who love ALLAH and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) with all our hearts and We Hate the Dajjal! Our desire is to see the Word of ALLAH established in this world, to see the True Faith of ALLAH implemented in the Hearts and lives of the people of this earth. There cannot be any Islam without Tawheed (the oneness of Allah). Islam is based on Tawheed. This Tawheed itself is totally absent in the collective life of the population which are calling for Democracy. And yet among these people there is Muslim people who have love for ALLAH, for Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) and for the Din ul Islam ,then Where is help from Allah?; and there will be no help untill the Muslims people all of us go back to the Words of ALLAH and the Sunnah of the Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) the Guidance given to him by ALLAH. Obeying Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) will bring the help from Allah, hence success is in Obedience to Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)and the Message followed and executed strictly,that He left for his followers to adapt. So if the true Believer whom ALLAH has Blessed with Wisdom and Knowledge wants to tread upon this Path, the Path of ALLAH,then let him be prepared to resign himself to the life of a Stranger among his people,just like his predecessors who accepted Islam were treated by the people as Strangers. For indeed,the true Believer in ALLAH, he will be a stranger in his Beliefs, because his people have corrupted their beliefs, by following the Dajjal. the true Believer in ALLAH, he will be a stranger in his religion,due to what the people have done to it, the Dajjal will attacks all the sacred issues of Faith, DAJJAL will have the power to cause Famine, Earth quakes and destruction on a mass scale. Many Muslims will join the ranks of DAJJAL on being afraid of his power. Only those with very strong faith will be able to resist. Remember that once you have joined the Anti-Christ, your soul will be doomed forever in the fire of hell. The True Believer in ALLAH,he will be a stranger in his manner of Praying, because the people are ignorant of the Prayer of Rasulallah(sallallhu alaihi was salam).the true Believer in ALLAH, he will be a stranger in his ordering of Good and prohibiting evil, for the people have taken what is evil as good and they have abandoned what is good as evil. in short, then the true Believer in ALLAH, he will be a stranger in all his matters of this world and the Hereafter,calling to the Path of ALLAH and withstanding the Harm of the Dajjal and all those who follow him. these Praiseworthy Believers are called strangers since they are a small minority among mankind. Thus, Muslims are strangers among mankind; the true Believers are strangers among Muslims; and the Scholars are strangers among the True Believers. and the Followers of the Sunnah, those that clear themselves from all peoples of innovation, are like wise Strangers.
    Narrated Abu Hurayrah: "The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace_be_upon_him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islaam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allaah will perish all religions except Islaam. He will destroy the Antichrist (Dajjal) and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him. (Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 37, Battles (Kitab Al-Malahim), Number 4310)"

    The Beauty of HAJJ

    Bismillah,ir-Rahman.ir-Rahim. The Beauty of Hajj By Ibn Qayyim (As Seen through the Eyes of the Believing people!) By Him whose House the loving pilgrims visit,
    Responding with ihram at the appointed limit,
    Uncovering their heads in total humility
    Before the One to Whom faces bow in servility.
    They exclaim in the valleys, "We have responded to Your call -
    All Praise is You Ya ALLAH! and ALL the Kingdom too!"
    He invited them and they answered His call!, with Praises, Glorification, love and pleasure;
    When they called upon ALLAH in humility, He is nearer to them, then send the Divine treasure the gift of Mercy.
    You see them on their mounts, hair dusty and dishevelled,
    Yet never more content, never happier have they felt;
    Leaving homelands
    and families due to holy yearning for the nearness to ALLAH! , Unmoved are they by temptations of returning home!.
    Through plains and valleys, from near and far they will come to thee on foot and (Mounted) on every kind of camel lean on account of Journeys through deep and distant Mountain highways.

    Walking and riding, in submission to ALLAH.
    the Sacred Masjid, which We have made (open) to (all) men -- equal is the dweller there and the visitor from the country side -- At the Ka’bah
    When they see His House - that magnificent sight
    For which the hearts of the Believers and all creatures are set alight -
    It seems they’ve never felt tired before,
    For their discomfort and hardship is no more.
    Now the eyes of the Lovers of ALLAH drowns in its streams,
    (the Hearts of Believers) sees through its tears the goal of its dreams;
    Now for Allah, how many tears are issued,
    Each one being followed by a multitude?
    When the eyes perceives the House, its darkness clears,
    And from the sorrowful heart, pain disappears;
    Vision cannot encompass this beautiful sight of the Kabah)
    Each glance returns with greater delight!
    No wonder at this, for when the Merciful preferred
    The House for Himself, it became most honoured.
    He clothed it in Majesty, a magnificent garment;
    Embroidered it with Beauty, wonder and delight, and wonderful ornaments!
    The hearts of the believers all love the House of ALLAH! inspired by a feeling of fearful wonderment and Great Beauty(awed),
    and Deep Humility in respect and honour.
    ‘Arafat
    Now to ‘Arafat, hoping for Mercy and Forgiveness
    From ALLAH the One overflowing with Generosity and Kindness;
    Now for ALLAH is that Magnificent Standing
    Like, though lesser than, the Day of Reckoning.
    The Irresistible draws near with His Mercy, His Majesty manifest,
    Boasting to His angels, for He is the Mightiest,
    "My slaves have come to Me so lovingly,
    I’ll be Generous and Merciful and most Kind to them willingly.
    I have forgiven their sins, – to this you are witness –
    Fulfilled their hopes, and showered them with goodness."
    then come the joyous news! O people of that standing,
    When sins are forgiven and Mercy is spreading;
    How many slaves are set completely free?
    Whilst others seek a cure, and healing from His mercy.
    Now Satan is never known to lose such face:
    He’s blameworthy, rejected, in utter disgrace.
    For he sees a matter that enrage him must:
    He flees, slaps his face and covers it in dust!
    Such Forgiveness he never did see
    As granted by the Rabb of Mercy, in giving such Mercy!
    He built his edifice from every temptation available
    Till he thought it was complete, unassailable;
    Then ALLAH struck his building at its very foundation,
    So it fell upon him, tumbling in devastation;
    What worth has his structure, this evil ploy,
    That he does build, and the Rabb does destroy?

    Muzdalifah & Mina
    Now to Muzdalifah, to spend the night
    In the Sacred Area, then Prayer at first light;
    Now on to the Great Pillar, which they need
    To stone at the time of the Prayer of ‘Id;
    Now to their tents for the sacrifice prepared,
    Reviving the tradition of a Father revered.
    If sacrificing themselves were Allah’s demand,
    They would respond, submitting to the command;
    Just as they’d expose their necks in Jihad
    To Allah’s enemies, till these stream with blood;
    They discipline themselves, presenting the head for a shave:
    Bringing humility and happiness to the obedient slave.

    The Tawaf of Ifadah/Ziyarah
    So when they’ve removed those natural growths,
    Completed their rites, and fulfilled their oaths,
    He invites them again to visit His House:
    What a Great honour and welcome this visit is, it is allows!
    By Allah, they visit it in so much splendour,
    Receiving their rewards and plenty of honour;
    There ALLAH bestows Grace, Favour and Kindness,
    Showing Generosity, Mercy and Forgiveness.

    Mina
    Then they return to Mina, each to his tent,
    Every minute wish is granted, and Hearts are content;
    They stay there a day, then another, then a third,
    They’re allowed to depart early, but to stay is preferred;
    They stone the pillars daily after the sun’s decline,
    With a slogan of Takbir in the presence of the Divine!
    If only you could see their standing there:
    Palms outstretched, hoping for Mercy’s share!
    "Ya Rabbanal! Ya Rabbanal! Knowing as You do
    That we hope for no-ones Mercy but Your, only You alone!
    Then grant our needs and wishes, Ya ALLAH! you are the All-Knowing,
    We pray and beg for Your overflowing Mercy."

    The Farewell Tawaf
    When they’ve achieved at Mina all their gains,
    Once more they fill the valleys and plains:
    To the Ka’bah, the Sacred House, by the end of the day,
    To circle it seven times, and then to Pray.
    When departure nears and they are certain
    That the bond of Nearness, Closeness is about to loosen,
    There’s only a last stand for a final farewell:
    Now for ALLAH are the eyes fill and swell with tears,
    And for ALLAH are the heavy hearts that turn
    Into cauldrons of desire where fire does burn;
    And the passionate sighs whose hearts are so fill with the Love for ALLAH!
    Nearly melts the Lover of ALLAH, in His Glorification and rememberen!
    Now you see those bewildered, perplexed in the Hearts and Souls,
    Whilst others chant their sorrowful song:
    "I depart, but there remains for You Ya ALLAH! my yearning,
    My fire of grief is raging and burning in My Heart and Soul;
    I bid farewell Ya ALLAH! to your House, but longing and Hoping for Your Mercy again and again!
    My heart and Soul is encamped in Your eternal plains!"
    No blame today for saying what I feel:
    No blame for expressing what I used to conceal!

    Knowing what Islam called for!( Part 1)

    Bismillah Ir-Rahman, Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH's auspiciousness,whose Name is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An Laa illaaha illal llahuWa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allahwho is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.''"O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family.Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". Iam Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher,Iam Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam) I seek Protection with ALLAH! With the Glorious and Noble Face of ALLAH! With the Complete and Perfect words of ALLAH! With the Exalted Attributes of ALLAH! From the Punishment of Hell; From chastisement in the Grave; From the Trial of Life and Death; From the Mischief of the dajjal. There is no power nor strength with (anyone) save Allah. ALLAH is Good and Only accept that which is Good. ALLAH is the Truth and only accept that which True. ALLAH is Pure and only accept that which is Pure. Ya ALLAH! ALL the praises are for You, You are the Holder of the Heavens and the Earth, And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are are the Sustainer of the Heavens and the Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All the praises are for you; You have the Possession of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All the praises are for You; You are Light(Nur) of the Heavens and Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are the King of the Heavens and the Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are the Truth and Your Promise is the Truth, And Your word is the Truth and the Meeting with You is true, And Parardise is True And Hell is true and All the Prophets(peace be upon them) are true; And Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is true,And the Day of Resurrection is True. Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your promise is the truth,Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your words is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and You are the Truth!..(Knowing what Islam called for!)
    It is imperative that the Muslim people know the true Islam! That Islam! That was revealed to Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) By ALLAH! That Islam that Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) live every day of His life! That Islam! That has inspired the Hearts of millions for the last 14 century! That Islam! That in 1 century! Changed the direction of the then known world from the dark ages of ignorance to Spiritual and scientific enlightenment! Most Muslims people don't know real Islam or what Islam really called for! or what was Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) true teaching were or what the Holy Quran teaches.----- The Qur'an and the "Hadeeth" (teachings of Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) are the ultimate sources for knowledge in Islam-- That is, one must have the basic and general knowledge of Islam. we should do our best to learn at least the basics of Islamic beliefs, the basics of what shahadah means. In this way, Allah willing, we will be making the correct shahadah. We will be witnessing to the truth as we are supposed to be witnesses to it. la hawla wala quwwata illa billah(There is no Might and no power except with ALLAH!)
    If the Muslim people knew! If the Muslim Ummah knew what power that exist in Islam! In this Din! In Du'a! The power in glorifying ALLAH! The power in Du'a, We raise our Hands up toward the sky with words that reach the Highest heavens and our tears fall down to the ground and the heavens are moved and ALLAH sends His Help Angels rank upon rank!-- There are certain conditions that must be meet in order to benefit from such a Dua'. In fact these conditions are what will determine who will benefit from their dua and who will not benefit from saying it- -A major conditions is that the Hearts of the Muslims People must be clear! Because when hearts are clear the Help of ALLAH is very quick! Some of the conditions are we must have good KNOWLEDGE AND CERTAINTY-SINCERITY-KHUSHOO(devotion)-TRUTHFULNESS-SUBMISSION AND COMPLIANCE.
    We must work hard to learn, understand and practice these rules or principles of Islam and all that Islam called for! Before we run out time on this Earth and before the sun rises from the west, then it would be too late for our shahadah and our tawbah to help us at all. [This is the time for The righteous scholars to come to the forefront and teach and educate the Muslim people! Educate The Muslim world in every aspect of Islamic life !] When we say The Righteous Scholars! We are not talking about those secret agents who study at some Islamic University, who were a secret agents before they went in to the university and they were a bigger secret agents when they came out of the University with a Islamic degree,. We are not talk about those who study at some Islamic University got a degree and came out and join the Masons! We are not talking about those enemies of ALLAH! Who went to study Islam in order to use it as a tool against the Muslim Ummah! On the authority of Abu Dardaa' (ra), Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said:
    “Verily, the scholars are the heirs of the Prophets.” The righteous scholars are the heirs of the Prophets And the Imams of the people and After Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)and His Sahaba and after the Tabiyan and after the tabiyan, tabiyan; they guided and direct the people to Allah (SWT) and taught them His Din (Islam); and they have noble manners and praiseworthy attributes. They are the scholars of the truth; Scholars of guidance and righteousness and also they are the successors to the Prophets; they fear Allah (SWT) much and are constantly checking their actions, and pay great importance to what He(ALLAH) orders and forbids. They follow in the footsteps of the Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)and His Sahabah : in their teaching and instructing, their character and actions, in their words and conduct and, as a result, they suffer in the same way that the Sahabah and the righteous did before them. The righteous scholars suffer persecution and oppression, mockery
    and ridicule, torture and imprisonment and murder in the same way that some of the Sahabah and as the righteous did.
    They speak and uphold the truth wherever they go in order that the Din of Allah (SWT) may "be superior over all other religions even though the disbelievers may detest it," and they pay for it dearly. On the authority of Anas bin Malik, Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)said: "Among the signs of the Hour will be the disappearance of knowledge and the appearance of ignorance." Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalanee said, commenting on this Hadeeth: "Indeed it will not disappear except with the deaths of the Ulama(The Righteous Scholars)." In this day and age, how few are the scholars that are suffering for no other reason except that they are speaking the truth. Some of them have been killed and some of them have been imprisoned, whilst others still remain under house arrest in this day and time. The practice of the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is a knowledge that has been [mostly] lost[from among people]; only its name continues to exist. It is a practice that has been abandoned; only its outline remains. It is a road whose milestones have been obliterated by wild animals (the ignorant people), and whose water sources have been dried up by the enemies. Thus the Muslim people who takes this road are strangers among people, unique in their surroundings, distant[from others] despite their physical closeness, lonely despite numerous neighbours. "If only there had been, in the generations preceding you, people having wisdom, prohibiting others from evil in the earth; except a few of those whom we have saved from among them." (Qur'an Hud 116).
    This verse speaks of the few people on earth, the "strangers", who prohibit mankind from evil. These are the same people Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) spoke about when he said, "Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings [ar. Tooba. This is a tree in Paradise. So Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is giving the good news of Paradise to these strangers.] to the strangers." It was asked, "Who are those strangers, Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)?" He replied, "Those that correct the people when they become corrupt." [Reported by Abu Amr al-Dani, from the hadith of ibn Masoud. It is authentic according to al-Albani. Another narration says, "Those that correct my Sunnah which has been corrupted by the people after me."] In another narration he said in response to the same question, "They are a small group of people among a large evil population. Those who oppose them are more than those who follow them." [Reported by ibn Asaakir. It is authentic according to al-Albani.]------------- The Muslim people, the Strangers are alone in the way of ALLAH seeking our goal the pleasure of ALLAH, feeling no satisfaction until we achieves it. ----- These praiseworthy people are called strangers since they are a small minority among mankind. Thus, Muslims are strangers among mankind; the true believers are strangers among Muslims; and the scholars are strangers among the true believers. And the followers of the Sunnah, those that clear themselves from all peoples of innovation, are likewise strangers.--------We are with the people in our bodies, but away from them by virtue of our goal seeking the pleasure of ALLAH. The people of the world eyes sleep indifferently, neglecting to seek the Guidance of ALLAH; but the believing muslim people, the Strangers spends their nights awake. -In reality, however, their strangeness is only because they are the minority and it is not because their actions and beliefs are strange. This is what Allah says in surah al-Anaam,
    "And if you obey most of the people on Earth, they will lead you astray" (Qur'an al-Anaam 116). Allah also says, "And most of mankind will not believe, even if you (O Muhammad) desire it eagerly" (Qur'an Yusuf 103);"And truly, most of mankind are rebellious and disobedient (to Allah)." (Qur'an al-Maidah 49)"But nay, most of mankind are ungrateful" (Qur'an Yusuf 38).
    Therefore, Allah, the All-Knowing Creator, knows that most of mankind will not follow the truth. Instead, only a small group of people will be set apart that truly and correctly believe in Him, the strangers from among mankind. The negligent and neglectful people of the world: They are too lazy for migration to the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) while believing muslim people are totally engrossed in its pursuit. The strangers in belief, however, and the strangers in character and actions are in reality the majority of mankind, for they are strange to Islam and to the laws that Allah has revealed. Thus we see that there are various types of strangeness, of which some are praiseworthy, some are blameworthy and some are either praiseworthy or blameworthy.
    You should know, may Allah have mercy upon you, that strangeness is of three types:
    The first type of strangeness is the strangeness of the "People of Allah and the People of His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)Which we mentioned previously. This strangeness is a praiseworthy strangeness, as it has been praised by Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
    . Therefore, this kind of strangeness should be sought and its people must be supported. This strangeness occurs in different times, in different places, and among different peoples. These strangers, then, are the true "People of Allah" for they do not worship ought save Him, and they do not take support from any path except the path of Truth, the path of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), and they do not call to anything except that which has been brought by Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam).
    These are the people who left mankind when they (the strangers) were in need of them the most. For, on the Day of Judgment, when all other groups will go with that which they used to worship, they will stay in their places. It will be said to them, "Will you not go as the other people have gone?" They will answer, "We had abandoned the people (in this life), and we were more in need of them then we are today, and we will wait for our Rabb whom we used to worship." [Recorded by Al-Bukhaari and Muslim] Thus it is apparent that this strangeness does not cause its bearer any discontent. Rather it is a comforting strangeness, a solace to the believers. This is because he knows that his helpers is Allah, His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) and those who believe [This is a reference to verse 55 of surah al-Maidah], even if all of mankind left and abandoned him.
    These strangers are again described in a hadith narrated by Anas ibn Malik, in which Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said, "It is possible that a disheveled, dusty person, with not many belongings [Literally, "with two headdresses"], who is not noticed among the people, if he asks of Allah, Allah will fulfil his prayer." [Reported by at-Tirmidhi and al-Hakim. Al-Albani said it is authentic.] Al-Hasan al-Basri [a very famous Follower – tabi‘ - known for his piety, asceticism and knowledge] said, "A believer is a stranger in this world, he is never afraid of its humiliation, and he never competes for its glory. The people are in one situation and he is in a different situation. The people are content with him, yet he is in turmoil [Literally, "tired"] with himself." From the characteristics of these strangers that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) described is the holding on to the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
    , even if the people abandon it. They, the strangers, leave all the innovations that their people invent, even if such practices should be common among them. They also stick to tawheed, even if the people corrupt it with shirk. They do not ascribe themselves to anything besides Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam); They do not, that is, ascribe themselves to a shaikh, tariqah, particular madhhab or a group of people. They are dedicated only to Allah, with their sincere worship of Him and Him alone, and to His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), by following the path that he followed. These are the people who grasp the glowing hot embers [A reference to the hadith that is to follow], even though most of mankind - nay, all of them - blame them for this. This is the meaning of the statements of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) alluding to the fact that they stick to his Sunnah, even if the people corrupt it. Allah, all praise be to Him, sent His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) when mankind followed different religions, for there were those who worshipped rivers and trees, and there were those who worshipped idols, and there were Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians. Than, when Islam first appeared among these people,it was strange to them. If a person from among them accepted Islam and followed the call of Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) , That person would be shunned by his family and his tribe. He would live the life of a stranger among his people. Eventually, however, Islam spread far and wide. The Muslims became stronger and stronger, so much so that the strangers were those that did not accept the teachings of Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam). But, alas, Satan deceived mankind again. People took to the ways that their forefathers(Jahiliyyah), who had accepted Islam, had abandoned it until, finally, Islam became strange again, just like it had started and just like Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) had foretold. Nay, indeed, rather the true Islam - that which Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) and his Sahabah were following [this is a reference to the reply that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) gave when asked what the characteristics of the "Saved Group" were] has become even stranger to the people then when it initially appeared, even though its outward signs and external relics are well known and widespread. [This is what ibn al-Qayyim, wrote in the 8th Century of the Hijrah, wrote. Imagine our situations 7 centuries after him. May Allah protect us.] How can it not be so, when these strangers are only one group among seventy-two others! Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said in an authentic hadith that this Ummah would divide into seventy-three groups, all of which would go to Hell except the one Saved Group.], each of which follows its own desires and takes its passions as gods?
    Those are the groups that base their teachings on doubts and innovations and whose sole purpose is the gratification of their own desires. Thus, the group whose goal is to achieve the pleasure of Allah by following the path of His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) will be the strange one among all of the other groups. This is why the true Muslims - those that adamantly cling to the Sunnah - will have the reward of fifty Companions. When Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) was asked about the verse, "O you who believe! Take care of your own selves. If you follow right guidance, no harm can come to you from those who err" (Qur'an al-Maidah 105) he said, "Nay indeed, order good and forbid evil until you see stinginess being obeyed, and desires being followed, and this world preferred [over the next], and each person being deluded by his own opinions. Then take care of yourself and leave the common people. For indeed, after you there will be days of patience, where patience will be like holding on to glowing embers. Whoever is able to do this will have the reward of fifty people that do like him." They asked, " Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), the reward of fifty of them?" He replied, "The reward of fifty of you" [Recorded by al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud with a weak chain but it has supporting evidence. Al-Albani calls it sahih. See al-Sahiha, #957]. This reward is due to his strangeness among the people.
    So, if the believer whom Allah has blessed with knowledge, wisdom and understanding wants to tread upon this path, the path of Allah, then let him be prepared to resign himself to the life of a stranger among his people, just like his predecessors who accepted Islam were treated by the people. For indeed, he will be a stranger in his beliefs, because his people have corrupted their beliefs. He will be a stranger in his(Din) religion, due to what the people have done to it. He will be a stranger in his manners and prayer, because the people are ignorant of the manners of the Muslim and of prayer of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam). He will be a stranger in his ordering of good and prohibiting evil, for the people have taken what is evil as good and they have abandoned what is good as evil. Then also, he will be a stranger in all his matters of this world and the Hereafter, calling to the path of Allah and withstanding the harm of all those that go against him this is to attain the pleasure of ALLAH!. In short, this is the time of the dajjal! ------- Part One: Our Ultimate Goal To attain the Pleasure of Allah (SWT) by: 1. Directing our sincere devotion to Him alone. 2. Achieving the true following of His messenger, Muhammad
    (sallallahu alayhi wa salam) .

    Abu Sa'eed al-Khudree (ra) relates that the Prophet said: "Allah, the Lord of Honour and Glory, will call the inmates of Paradise, 'O Residents of Paradise!' They will respond, 'Here we are, our Lord, and all good is in Your Hands. ‘He will ask them:

    'Are you now pleased?' They will answer: 'Why should we not be pleased, our Rabb?

    When You have bestowed upon us such bounties which You have not bestowed on

    any of Your other creation. ‘He will then say to them: 'Shall I not bestow upon you

    something even better than that?' The inhabitants of Paradise will inquire: 'What

    could be better than that?' Allah will say, 'I bestow upon you My Pleasure and shall

    never thereafter be displeased with you.’"

    Verily, our Rabb, Your Pleasure is more exalted and precious than any felicity.

    We put Your pleasure above and before all else. By doing so we follow in the

    footsteps of our Prophet who sought Your pleasure before asking for Paradise in

    his supplications: “O Allah, I ask You for Your Pleasure and Paradise.”

    Allah (SWT) is indeed more precious to us than anything else, and He is Greater

    than all else. His pleasure is also more valuable than any other objective:

    "But the greatest bliss is the good Pleasure of Allah: that is the Spreme success.” [Surah At-Taubah (9), Ayah 72.]

    Allah, Exalted is He, is the First: there is nothing before Him; and He is the Last:

    there is nothing after Him. He is the Most High: there is nothing above Him, and He

    is the Most Near: there is nothing nearer than Him. He is the Ever-Living and the

    One who sustains and protects all that exists. He is the All-Mighty; the All-Wise; the

    All-Aware; the All-Knowing; the All-Seeing; the Owner of Power; the Most Strong. He has power over all things; everything is in need of Him; all actions are easy for Him; and He is in need of nothing whatsoever: "There is nothing like unto Him; and He is the All-Hearer, the Ever-

    Watching." [Surah Ash-Shura (42), Ayah 11.] It is He who creates all things from nothing and provides after destitution. He

    gives life and causes death. He resurrects the dead from their graves; and to Him

    will be the final return on the Day of Judgment, when He forgives whom He wishes to forgive, out of benevolence, and punishes whom He wishes to punish, out of justice: "Such is Allah, your Rabb. His is the Sovereignty. None has the right to

    be worshipped but He. How then are you turned away?" [Surah Az-Zumar

    (39), Ayah 6.] Bukhari and Muslim.

    All save Him, Exalted is He, will perish:

    "Whatsoever is on it [the earth] will perish; but the Face of your Rabb, full of Majesty and Honor will abide forever.”[Surah Ar-Rahman (55), Ayah 26-27.]

    So how could we not consider the Pleasure of Allah: to be our ultimate goal for

    which we strive and break away from whatever opposes it, so that we can have

    recourse to its protection and delight in it?

    "So flee to Allah (front His Torment to His Mercy) Verily, I (Muhammad) am a plain Warner to you from Him.” [Surah Az-Zariyat (51), Ayah 50.] Our Prophet taught us that the Pleasure of our Rabb is our refuge and shelter: A'isha said: "I missed the Messenger of Allah in bed (one night) so I looked for him and (suddenly) my hand perchance felt the sole of his feet in the mosque. They were upright (in sujud position) and he was saying: Allaahumma innee A'udu biridhaaka min Sakhatika, wabimu 'aafaatika min 'Uqoobatika, wa A'udhu

    bika minka, Laa Uhsee Thanaa'an 'Alaika, Anta kamaa Athnaita 'Alaa

    Nafsika.” ("O Allah! I seek refuge in Your Pleasure front Your Wrath, and in Your

    Pardon from Your Punishment; and I seek refuge in You from You. I could never

    praise You enough (as You deserve], You are as You have praised Yourself.") The Pleasure of Allah, Mighty is He, is an objective before which all other

    objectives diminish in importance:

    "And Allah is better [as regards reward in comparison to your reward], and

    more lasting [as regards punishment in comparison your punishment." [Surah

    Ta-Ha (20), Ayah 73.]

    Whoever finds and attains it has indeed found everything could possibly need;

    and whoever loses it or is misguided away from has lost everything. This is the

    person that Allah, has left astray,"...and sealed his hearing and his heart, and

    put a cover on his sight. Who, then, will guide him after Allah? [Surah Al-

    Jaathiya (45), Ayah 23.]

    One of the mercies that Allah has granted His creation is His undertaking to

    realize this aim (of pleasing Him) for all those who seek it with sincerity:

    "Allah chooses for Himself those whom He wishes, and guides unto

    Himself those who turn to Him in repentance and in obedience.” [Surah Ash-

    Shura (42), Ayah 13.]

    Allah, Exalted is He, never turns away anybody seeking His guidance. Instead,

    He assists and guides them to it:

    "As for those who strive hard in Our cause, We will surely guide them to Our

    Paths (Allah's religion).” [Surah Al-‘Ankabut (29), Ayah 69.]

    On the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra) who said that the Prophet

    said: “Allah the Almighty says: ‘I am as My servant expects Me to be. I am with him when he Muslim.

    makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him

    to Myself and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in

    an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me a hand's span, I draw near to

    him arm’s length; and if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a

    fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.’ ” 7

    How could we not then make Allah's (SWT) Pleasure our ultimate goal?

    On the authority of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (ra) from the Prophet is that among

    the sayings he relates from his Lord, Exalted is He, is that He said:

    "O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it

    forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.

    O My servants, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek

    guidance of Me and I shall guide you.

    O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food

    from Me and I shall feed you.

    O My servants, all of you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek

    clothing of Me and I shall clothe you.

    O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek

    forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you.

    O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and you will not

    attain benefiting Me so as to benefit Me.

    O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and

    the jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any man amongst you, that

    would not increase My Kingdom in anything.

    O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and

    the jinn of you as wicked as the most wicked heart of any man amongst you, that

    would not decrease My Kingdom in anything.

    O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and

    the jinn of you, to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give

    everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more than a

    needle decreases the sea if put into it.8

    O My servants, it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then

    recompense you for, so let him who finds good (in the Hereafter) praise Allah and let

    him who finds other than that blame no-one but himself.” 9

    How could we not seek His Pleasure and aspire to be amongst His beloved friends

    whom he defends and assists:

    “Truly Allah defends those who believe.” [Surah Al-Hajj (22), Ayah 38.]

    Allah also says in the Hadeeth Qudsi: "Whoever shows enmity to someone

    devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him... " 10

    And can we not aspire to be among His beloved about whom He says in the same

    Hadeeth Qudsi:

    7 Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah.

    8 This refers to the minute amount of water adhering to a needle if dipped into the sea and then withdrawn.

    9 Muslim, Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah.

    10 Bukhari and Muslim.
    "My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the

    religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to

    Me with optional works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his sense of

    hearing with which he hears, his sense of sight with which he sees, his hand with

    which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me,

    I would surely give it to him; and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant

    him it.. "

    We hope to attain His Pleasure and we wish that our Lord will admit us in

    Paradise on the Day of Resurrection along with the righteous people:

    "My worshippers! No fear shall be on you this Day, nor shall you grieve,

    (you) who believed in Our Signs and were Muslims. Enter Paradise, you and

    your wives, in happiness. Trays of gold and cups will be passed round them,

    [there will be] therein all that one's inner-self could desire, all that the eyes

    could delight in, and you will abide therein forever. Such will be the

    Paradise which you have been made to inherit because of your deeds which

    you used to do [in the life of the world].Therein for you will be fruits in plenty,

    of which you will eat [as you desire]." [Surah Az-Zukhruf (43), Ayat 68-73.]

    In light of all of the above, does our set goal equal other goals?---- "Say: Is the blind one equal to the one who sees? Or darkness equal to

    Light?” [Surah Ar-Ra'd (13), Ayah 16.]

    "Is he who walks on his face without seeing, more rightly guided, or he

    who [sees and] walks on a Straight Path [Islam]?” [Surah Al-Mulk (67), Ayah 22.]

    A Muslim's objective illuminates his path, outlines his endeavours, regulates his

    footsteps, actions and positions. You find him walking on the ground while his heart

    is set on the Heavens. He goes forth one instance and holds back another;

    sometimes hastens and sometimes slows, speaks on one occasion and holds his

    tongue on another. During all this he is proceeding confidently towards his ultimate goal.

    This objective makes the Muslim intolerant of neglecting the commands of his

    Lord or disobeying film in any way. For doing so would come between him and his

    exalted aim. It also makes him waste little of his time, lest it should come to nothing.

    He is cautious not to spend the fleeting moments of his life on anything that does not

    please his Lord.

    One of the merits of a Muslim's ultimate goal is that it controls the means by

    which it is achieved. The goal does not serve to justify the means for those who wish

    to attain it, nor does it allow them to justify any means with a view to achieving that

    goal. Rather the goal controls the means which, in its turn, is controlled for it. The

    goal would not be attained by any words or actions unless these are done with

    sincerity towards Allah and in accordance with the teachings of the Prophet .

    The early Muslims confined their objectives to seeking only the Pleasure of Allah

    (SWT). One of them would say: "I will make all my worries, one," that is, my only

    worry in this life is to please Allah (SWT), the Almighty. Their only concern in this life

    was to achieve His pleasure. Therefore they overcame any hindrance or obstacle on

    11 Bukhari and Muslim.

    the road leading to this exalted aim and dispensed with all their desires and worldly

    aspirations. Their aim was to achieve all that Allah (SWT) commanded of them. Thus

    they became the most pious, most knowledgeable and most just of all people. Their

    Lord, consequently, granted them guidance and support and made them the

    mightiest of all people.

    The majority of present-day Muslims, however, have strayed in choosing and

    determining their objectives. Some have put the Pleasure of Allah behind them and

    set off in pursuit of their own worldly desires; paying no attention to anything else.

    Some even think that they can have other objectives alongside seeking the

    pleasure of Allah (SWT). Such people have become, as Allah (SWT) said (which

    means):

    "A man belonging to many partners disputing with one another.” [Surah Az-

    Zumar (39), Ayah 29.]

    But Allah (SWT) the Most High is Self-Sufficient : He has no need of an associate.

    Thus, he who does an action for someone else's sake as well as Allah's (SWT) will be

    renounced by Allah (SWT) in favour of those whom he has associated with Him.

    This is why today's Muslims, despite their large numbers, have become like the

    foam of a torrential stream. They have fallen into myriad vices. They are divided by

    whims and heresies. The Muslim nation has become, as the Prophet said, a large

    bowl to which all the nations of the world call upon one another.

    The situation is very grave. As a result of abandoning the sole objective for

    which they had been created, Muslims will not only live in humiliation upon this earth,

    as is the case today. They will also face a greater danger on the Day of Judgement,

    each in proportion to his negligence of and alienation from the true objective.

    Abandoning the Pleasure of Allah (SWT) means nothing other than choosing

    Allah's (SWT) wrath as an objective. Let people delude themselves as they please. Let

    them call their erroneous objectives any modern name they like. It will never

    amount to any more than the wrath of Allah (SWT). Let them call their objective a

    struggle to achieve true socialism, or dress it with the false glitter of democracy, or

    capitalism, or Arab nationalism, or secularism. Let them say whatever they please as

    long as they have rejected the Truth :

    "So after the Truth, what else can there be except error?” [Surah Yunus

    (10), Ayah 32.]

    "Those are they who have purchased error at the price of Guidance,

    and torment at the price of Forgiveness. So how bold they are [for evil

    deeds which will push them] to the Fire!” [Surah Al-Baqarah (2), Ayah 175.]

    "And how bad indeed was that for which they sold their souls, if they

    but knew!” [Surah Al-Baqarah (2), Ayah 102.]

    We therefore warn our people saying to them: return to the right path:

    "Answer the call of your Lord.” [Surah Ash-Shura (42), Ayah 47.]

    Return to the Pleasure of Allah(SWT) let your devotion be sincere and your

    struggle continuous:

    "O our people! Respond [with obedience] to Allah's caller [i.e.

    Muhammad [pbuh], and believe in him.” [Surah Al-Ahqaaf (46), Ayah 31.]

    And know that achieving this great and noble goal is extremely easy for those

    assisted by Allah (SWT), and that the road leading to it is extremely clear for those

    blessed by Allah's (SWT) Guidance, for He (SWT) "...guides unto Himself those

    who turn to Him in repentance and obedience.” [Surah Ash-Shura (42), Ayah

    13.]

    Those who choose to travel this road need only two things to achieve their objectives:

    1. Sincerity to Allah, the Almighty by seeking His Pleasure alone, and;

    2. Following the example of the Prophet .

    l. Sincerity

    Allah (SWT), Exalted is He, accepts no work whatsoever, be it great or small,

    unless it is intended solely for His Pleasure.

    On the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra), who said that the Messenger of Allah

    said: “Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: I am Self-Sufficient. I am in no need of

    having an associate. Thus he who does an action for someone else's sake as well as

    Mine will have that action renounced by Me in favour of him whom he associated

    with Me.’” A Muslim is required to dedicate all his endeavours to Allah (SWT) in all his

    actions and words, remembrance and thinking, sleep and waking, worship and daily

    living, love and hatred, giving and withholding.

    "Say [O Muhammad ( pbuh)]: ‘ Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living

    and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. He has no partner.’”

    [Surah Al-An'am (6), Ayat 162-163.]

    A servant should be sincere to Allah (SWT) in all his activities:

    "Say: [O Muhammad ( pbuh)]: ‘Verily I am commanded to worship Allah

    (alone) by obeying Him and doing deeds sincerely for Allah's sake only and

    not to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship;’” [Surah Az-

    Zumar (39), Ayah 11.]

    Sincerity is isolation of the intent in obedience to the Worshipped - Glorified is

    He - singling Him out alone in worship, restraining the heart from turning towards

    creation during conduct with the Lord, and cleansing the action from every flaw.

    And one who knows the reality of the perfection of the Lord Most High, His

    Exaltedness, His majesty, His power, His wisdom, His blessings, His shielding, His

    gentleness, His kindness, His gracefulness, His generosity, and believes that He is:

    12 Muslim and Ibn Maajah.

    “the First [nothing is before him] and the Last [nothing is after Him], the

    Most High [nothing is above Him] and the Most Near [nothing is nearer than

    Him].” [Surah Al-Hadeed (57), Ayah 3.]

    and at the same time know the truth about created beings, namely that they

    "...cannot create [even] a fly, even though they combine together for the

    purpose! And if the fly should snatch away anything from them, the y would

    have no power to release it from the fly.” [Surah Al-Hajj (22). Ayah 73.]

    and that they

    "...possess neither hurt nor benefit for themselves, and possess no power

    [of causing] death, nor [of giving] life, nor of raising the dead.” [Surah Al-

    Furqan (25), Ayah 3.]

    and that they

    "...own not even a qitmeer (the thin membrane over a date-stone.)[Surah Faatir

    (35), Ayah 13.]

    Those who know all these things cannot possibly dedicate their work to anyone

    except Allah. How could they possibly attach their hearts to any but Him?

    On the authority of Umar bin Al-Khattab (ra), the Prophet

    said: “Actions are

    but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended. Thus he

    whose migration was for Allah and His Messenger, his migration was for Allah and

    His Messenger; and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to

    take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that which he migrated.

    Hadith 36: The significance of fulfilling the needs of a muslim!

    Bismillah Ir-Rahman, Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH's auspiciousness,whose Name is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An Laa illaaha illal llahuWa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah who is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool. O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". I am Satisfied with ALLAH as My Rabb and Cherisher,Iam Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam) I seek Protection with ALLAH! With the Glorious and Noble Face of ALLAH! With the Complete and Perfect words of ALLAH! With the Exalted Attributes of ALLAH! From the Punishment of Hell; From chastisement in the Grave; From the Trial of Life and Death; From the Mischief of the dajjal. There is no power nor strength with (anyone) save Allah. ALLAH is Good and Only accept that which is Good... It was related on the authority of Abu Hurairah, radiyallahu ‘anhu, that Rasulullah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, said:

    “Whosoever relieves from a believer some grief pertaining to this world, Allah will relieve from him some grief pertaining to the Hereafter. Whosoever alleviates the difficulties of a needy person who cannot pay his debt, Allah will alleviate his difficulties in both this world and the Hereafter. Whosoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah will aid a servant (of His) so long as the servant aids his brother. Whosoever follows a path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. No people gather together in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy covers them, the angels surround them, and Allah makes mention of them amongst those who are in His presence. Whosoever is slowed down by his deeds will not be hastened forward by his lineage.”
    [Muslim]



    Background
    This hadith was recorded by Imam Muslim by the above text. However, there is another version of the hadith where it was recorded by both Imam Muslim and Imam al-Bukhari with the following text:
    “A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim – he does not wrong him nor does he forsake him when he is in need; whosoever is fulfilling the needs of his brother, Allah is fulfilling his needs; whosoever removes distress from a believer, Allah removes from him a distress from a distressful aspect of the Day of Resurrection; and whosoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection.”
    We see that in this hadith the obligations towards other Muslims are emphasised and the fulfillment of brotherhood is again stressed.



    Lessons
    “Whosoever relieves from a believer some grief pertaining to this world, Allah will relieve from him some grief pertaining to the Hereafter.”
    This means that the reward of an act is of a similar nature to the act itself. Or the reward to the act is relevant to the act itself or from the same type. There are many hadiths that emphasise this principle. Grief or distress in this hadith means a great difficulty or hardship a Muslim is facing. In one version of the hadith, it is stated as “whosoever relieves” and in another version “whosoever removes“. There is obviously a difference between the two versions because ‘to relief’ means to minimise the difficulty or distress, whereas ‘to remove’ means to totally eradicate the difficulty or hardship.
    Ibn Rajab says the one who successfully removes a grief or distress that a Muslim is encountering will be rewarded more than the one who helps and tries his best to minimise the consequences of a certain difficulty. This is natural because there are two different situations: The first one is related to the capacity of the person who is able only to minimise the distress. The other situation is not just a matter of capacity but also a willingness to do more to remove the distress totally. Ibn Rajab emphasises that we have to motivate Muslims to help others and to remove the distress or difficulties of one another.
    Rasulullah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, says that the reward for the removal or relief of the distress of a Muslim will be rewarded by a removal of a similar distress or difficulty in the Hereafter. Ibn Rajab questions the difference between the two situations where in the first one the hadith mentioned only the relief or removal of the distressful aspect of the Hereafter and not in this world. He says that not everyone is subject to such distress in this world – this is contrasted to ale’sar (unable to repay). He explains that since the difficulties of this life are incomparable to the distress aspects of the Hereafter (which nobody can endure as it is beyond human capacity), Allah reserves the reward for removing a distress of a distressful aspect of this life until the Day of Judgment.
    “Whosoever alleviates the difficulties of a needy person who cannot pay his debt, Allah will alleviate his difficulties in both this world and the Hereafter.”
    Here, it is not wise or appropriate for a Muslim to demand his money back from a poor or needy Muslim who honestly cannot afford to pay him. He should either give him a chance until he is able to repay his money or forgive him. The first choice is an obligation because Allah commands us to do so in Surah al-Baqarah, Ayah 280. The second way of alleviation is that the person who is owed the money might forgive the borrower and try to help him not just by giving him more time but also by reducing the amount of money owed or forgiving him.
    Rasulullah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, says in one of his great hadiths: “A man of the previous nations was very rich and people used to borrow money from him. Not only did he lend them money, which is indeed a good deed, but he also asked his sons to alleviate and forgive those who could not repay the money.” Rasulullah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, says that in the Hereafter Allah will reward him and forgive his sins because of his generosity. Allah says in Surah al-Furqan, Ayah 26 that “it will be a very hard day for the disbelievers”. This means that there is a situation where a person who is kind to those in need and Allah will relief that person by rewarding him a great reward from Allah’s Mercy and Help.
    “Whosoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter.”
    Ibn Rajab says that people can fall into two categories:

    1. Those who are not known for transgression or committing bad deeds. For these people, if by any chance they commit a mistake, it should not be revealed. On the contrary, it should be concealed and not even talked about.
    2. Those who are very well known as transgressors or wrongdoers, and who even speak proudly about their shameful and sinful acts. Ibn Rajab mentions that if there is a need to mention the qualities of these people, we should do so for the benefit of the Muslim community.

    The statement in this hadith does not apply to the second category of people. The general rule that we derive from the hadith is that Muslims should not reveal the mistakes of their Muslim brothers to others. Some Muslims today take it as a topic for fun and entertainment to reveal the mistakes of others even on very minor issues. As Muslims we should refrain ourselves from such acts. Consequently, the reward will be that Allah will conceal our faults from others. In this life we are subject to faults. If we do not conceal the faults of others, Allah will put us in a situation where our faults will be exposed to other people and everyone will be talking about them. So the punishment is relevant or of the same nature of the act if it is a bad act.
    Another thing that is also worth mentioning is the faults of the ulama‘ or scholars. Nowadays we can notice a very strange attitude coming from some seekers of knowledge who try to find out and reveal the mistakes of very well-known scholars. This sort of situation is even worse because they are revealing the mistakes of not just regular persons. If it is a matter of academic discussion or research, we should handle it in an appropriate way that upholds the status of our scholars.
    “Allah will aid a servant (of His) so long as the servant aids his brother.”
    This statement is a principle. Before this statement, the Rasulullah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, gives us three examples of Allah helping those who help others.
    But should we confine ourselves only to the needy mentioned in the hadith? Of course not. Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, wants to convey to us that we should help our brothers in any way possible. There are hundreds of forms of need. For example, helping the blind to cross the street or any of the great and charitable acts that are mentioned in Hadiths 25 and 26. The greater the help, the greater the reward. This is something that Muslims should take seriously because if we have a community which care about each other and help one another, then there would be no needy. This should be our attitude – we should seek to be motivated to offer our help at any time to our Muslim brothers.
    “Whosoever follows a path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise.”
    Here we can find the encouragement of Islam in seeking and gaining knowledge. The knowledge seekers will be rewarded if the knowledge is beneficial to oneself as well as for the betterment of the Muslim community.
    This statement of the hadith can be interpreted in 3 ways:

    1. Allah will make it easy for the knowledge seeker to gain the knowledge that he is seeking.
    2. Allah will make it easy for the knowledge seeker so that he will benefit from the knowledge he is seeking. This means that he will benefit from the knowledge and this will lead him to enter Paradise. There are many people who seek knowledge but there are no blessings in the knowledge they seek. The crucial point here is the person should seek knowledge with good intentions.
    3. For the one who seeks knowledge with good intentions, Allah will safely help him go through the horrible incidents and situations on the Day of Judgment.

    Ibn Rajab classifies ilm (knowledge) into two types:

    1. The outcome of knowledge is placed in the heart. That is the knowledge about Allah and His attributes that implies fearing Allah, glorifying Him, and loving Him.
    2. The knowledge that we merely memorise or speak about – without our hearts being influenced or affected. This means that if the person does not abide by the knowledge that he has already obtained, then he is in a very critical situation where the he may be subject to the punishment of Allah.

    “No people gather together in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy covers them, the angels surround them, and Allah makes mention of them amongst those who are in His presence.”
    Here the hadith implies a preferable act: to go to the mosque, to recite and study the Qur’an, or attending lectures. Ibn Rajab says that this can be applied to all branches of knowledge and not just the Qur’an. The hadith mentions four rewards for those who gather in the mosque:

    1. Tranquility – this is a great reward which includes relief from stress and being calm.
    2. The Mercy of Allah over them.
    3. The angels surrounding them.
    4. Allah making mention of them amongst those who are in His presence.

    “Whosoever is slowed down by his deeds will not be hastened forward by his lineage.”
    This indicates that doing deeds are the means of getting the rewards and that will lead a person to Paradise. Allah says: “For all shall be judged against their actions”. If the good deeds are not enough, the person’s lineage or ancestry will not benefit him. This is because Allah made rewards related to good deeds and not lineage.
    No ties of kinship will prevail amongst them.
    [Surah al-Mu’minun: Ayah 101]




    Conclusion
    “A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim; he does not wrong him nor does he forsake him when he is in need; whosoever is fulfilling the needs of his brother, Allah is fulfilling his needs.”
    This version of the hadith starts by stating a great principle: Muslims are brothers – one will not harm another nor will he do injustice or fail him when he is in need. Then the hadith states a motivation factor: Whosoever is fulfilling the needs of his brother, Allah is fulfilling his needs.
    This version is more than simply stating a principle – it can be taken as a motivation for helping other Muslims, especially those who are in need. We just need to imagine the situation of the ummah when we help each other and fulfill the needs of others. We will end up being a better society, with less needy people, and stronger social ties that will lead to the strength of the Muslim ummah at large.

    Silent oppression(part1)

    Bismillah Ir-Rahman, Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH's auspiciousness,whose Name is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An Laa illaaha illal llahu
    Wa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu
    ''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah
    who is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.''
    "O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family.
    Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". Iam Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher,Iam Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam) I seek Protection with ALLAH! With the Glorious and Noble Face of ALLAH! With the Complete and Perfect words of ALLAH! With the Exalted Attributes of ALLAH! From the Punishment of Hell; From chastisement in the Grave; From the Trial of Life and Death; From the Mischief of the dajjal. There is no power nor strength with (anyone) save Allah. ALLAH is Good and Only accept that which is Good. ALLAH is the Truth and only accept that which True. ALLAH is Pure and only accept that which is Pure. Ya ALLAH! ALL the praises are for You,You are the Holder of the Heavens and the Earth, And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are are the Substaner of the Heavens and the Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All the praises are for you;You have the Possession of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All the praises are for You; You are Light(Nur) of the Heavens and Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are the King of the Heavens and the Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are the Truth and Your Promise is the Truth, And Your word is the Truth and the Meeting with You is true, And Parardise is True And Hell is true and All the Prophets(peace be upon them) are true; And Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is true,And the Day of Resurrection is True. Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your promise is the truth,Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your words is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and You are the Truth!.On the authority of Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) from his Lord Almighty that He said:
    "O My servants ! I have forbidden zulm (oppression) for Myself, and I have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except those whom I have guided, so seek guidance from Me and I shall guide you. O My servants, all of you are hungry except those whom I have fed, so seek food from Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except those whom I have clothed, so seek clothing from Me and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you commit sins by day and by night, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness from Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm me, and you will not attain benefiting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as pious as the most pious heart of any individual amongst you, then this would not increase My Kingdom an iota. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as wicked as the most wicked heart of any individual amongst you, then this would not decrease My Kingdom an iota. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all to stand together in one place and ask of Me, and I were to give everyone what he requested, then that would not decrease what I possess, except what is decreased of the ocean when a needle is dipped into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I account for you, and then recompense you for. So he who finds good, let him praise Allah, and he who finds other than that, let him blame no one but himself." (Muslim) For each individual there are three levels of evaluation of Oppression:
    1. To look within oneself not once not twice but intermittently and continuously to keep ones behavior fair and just with all his/her contacts, neither oppressing them, nor being oppressed.
    2. To look in ones immediate environment for signs of oppression and to assist the oppressed and desist the oppressor.
    3. To look further away into society at large and if oppression is apparent, to assist the oppressed and desist the oppressor.
    If the inner code of human ethics as taught by the words of ALLAH in the Quran coupled with a healthy fear of ALLAH is present it usually is enough to keep oppression in check both in society and the in Civilization. There are so many people in the world living silently in pain and fear and have no hope or roadmap of how to get out of their complex life situation.
    Unfortunately there are no quick fixes without an understanding of the basis and etiquette of the global relationship of the human race with each other individually and collectively.
    Allah Subhanawataala guides us in the Quran modulating human behavior to avert the pain and suffering that humans afflict on each other:
    It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards East or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing. Quran:2:177
    The believers are guided to what is good for fellow human beings on one hand and sternly warned against Oppression on the other hand by Allah (SWT). Repeatedly in the Quran the oppressors are given due notice that if they continue in this world to oppress the weak, there awaits for them in the Hereafter, the pit of fire from which there is no escape. It will burn their skin, baring the nerve endings, new skin will be replaced with all its sensitivity to burn again and thus the cycle will continue forever. A soul shaking warning for those who are cognizant and not blinded by arrogance or blinded by ignorance.
    The Arabic word for oppression, as it is understood it is dhulm. Some how the translation into English as oppression just does not equival it. Dhulm on the other hand is not a single action, but a series of continuous acts to denigrate-belittle-defame, dehumanize-to deprive of human qualities, and subjugate- to domination,control and to make something subordinate ,someone by encroaching indelibly on his or her rights and who is unable to resist this encroachment.
    The means employed by the oppressor are not as important as the actual intention and act of oppression. The oppressor is called Dhalim and the oppressed is called Mazloom.
    There are many types of oppression, but one thing is consistent in all forms: the oppressor is powerful and the oppressed is powerless against the onslaught of dhulm or oppression. when ALLAH speaks about oppression! that He has forbidden it, He speaks about it in every aspect of life, and in every form.
    O People of Authority! O Tyrants of the world! O Oppressors Fear ALLAH! and beware! Be kind and mercyful to the Muslim people,Being kind and mercyful do not mean,being kind and mercyful to one set of people and being cruel, unfair and oppressive to another!''Give the muslim people who are under your authority their Rights and what is justly due to them and do not be cruel and unfair by treating the people like dirt!"...,Allah SWT repeatedly warns humankind to be kind to each other and not oppress each other and not take another’s right by force or fear?
    This stern warning in the Quran serves as the great balancer of life in this world. One person oppresses another one, and a third one comes to the rescue of the oppressed. Sometimes the oppressor begins oppression and then because of his fear of Allah retracts his behavior and lets go of the subjugation of the oppressed.
    There are two formats of Oppression:
    1. Deliberate: Inebriated with Blind arrogance of power the Dhalim (oppressor) rides rough shod over the weak and when he/she succeeds in usurping the rights of the weak continues to do so as he does not have any fear of Allah in his heart or mind.
    2. with blind Ignorance: A Dhalim oppressor may be unaware that his actions may be a form of oppression and the obedience that he is extracting is at the expense of the rights of the mazloom or oppressed. This I call silent oppression,silent compassion comes from two source fear and ignorance ,
    The reason it is call silent oppression is because the oppressor conducts it silently and secretly and sometime this Silent oppression is inflicted on a whole Nation of people,a whole society,sometimes the people may even be unaware of this silent oppression because it has been go on for generations or the Tyrant may consider it his right to impose this form of Dhulm-oppression on the people.
    On the other side there is silence from the mazloom or the oppressed who is slowly and gradually being “gaslighted”-A form of intimidation or psychological abuse, or chronically-Subject to a habit or pattern of behavior of abused fore a long time such that they begins to have great fear that this is something that they can not escape from and it is a hopeless situation, therefore they no longer stands up to their rights. And yet one day the mounting acts of oppression are no longer tolerable even with the rationalization noted above. The situation between the oppressor and the oppressed explodes into external violence. That is the day when the issue of oppression becomes a headline not as oppression but only the result of it. That which has befallen Gaddafi in Libya, Is not a thing to be over looked! It Can happen any where in the world at any time, and too any Tyrant! Bad actions brings about bad consequence!"... weather that tyrant is over a Country,over a state, over a city, over a town, over a village,over a commuity,or over a masjid, Any one resembling an oppressive ruler in the harsh use of authority or power, in this time that we are living in it can happen!"...
    Examples of silent oppression are seen in schools and the outcomes are seen in the actions of the carnage done by the two boys of Columbine High School or more recently the single shooter of Virginia Tech.
    Silent oppression usually does not have the explosive outcome in the devoutly muslim people,but it has happen! as a result of tyrannical behavior! as it has in the non-muslim countries. The reason being two fold:
    1. The oppressor in moments of cognizance recognizes his oppression and backs off due to fear of Allah, or someone in the muslim society puts pressure on the oppressor and puts the fear of ALLAH in him thus forcing him without violence to accede the rights to the oppressed,that was at a earlyer time in our history when we could recite the words of ALLAH! and His words would instill fear in the heart of a tyrant or a wrongdoer.! But Now these oppressive tyrants and wrongdoers of this day and time can only see raw power,tyanny and oppression. 2.The oppressed turn to Allah and it is a Hadith that the Dua of the oppressed to Allah is never turned away by Him ( SWT), Allah promises to answer the dua of an oppressed person. Rasulallah (SalAllahu 'alaihi wassallam) said: "Be afraid of the curse of an oppressed person as there is no screen between his invocation and Allah." (Al-Bukhari),Allah gives an oath by His Majesty and Honor that anyone who is oppressed and invokes Him, He will grant him victory. There are three people who Allah will never reject their prayer. They are:
    1) a just leader
    2) a fasting person
    3) someone who is oppressed. There lived a group of leaders in the Arabian Peninsula known as Barak. Though they were Muslims, they oppressed others and seized the wealth of people. The people living in the area continually made dua against the oppressive leaders. Eventually, the cruel leaders were apprehended. Once they were captured, one of the sons asked his father how they were able to be imprisoned. The father replied that it must have been by the prayer of someone who was oppressed, and therefore, Allah granted him his invocation.
    Allah says in the Quran:
    "When people forget and transgress their boundaries, we let them do what they want. When they feel proud that which they got, we take them swiftly, we annihilate the oppressors and praise be to Allah."
    Thus the ability to bear minor oppression is strengthened in a person who remains in Dhikr.
    Factors propagating oppression in muslim societies:
    Sometimes the veil of Lies invented from cultural religiosity is used to continue oppression and repression,(this Repression is an unconscious process that tries to reduce the anxiety associated with instinctive desires)This is when both the oppressor and the oppressed believe this oppression to be right, this is religious ignorant and repression , as they are ignorant of ALLAH's way of given rights to the victim clearly outlined in the Quran and summarized in Surah al Baqara. The right of being treated with dignity by all irrespective of caste creed and gender given to human beings by Allah SWT are distorted by self serving, ignorant tyrants and wrongdoers and wannabe People of authority who imitates the behavior of the ignorant tyrants. Where is silent oppression most evident?
    1. Silent oppression is most overt in the beaurocratic organization where people are captive due to their dependence on the goodwill of their bosses for their jobs rather than their expertise. Their bosses if they are not ALLAH fearing, recognizing the helplessness of the people under them oppress them. Examples are the sexual advances towards female workers under male bosses. The male bosses do not feel that they are accountable to Allah SWT for their behavior. They are ignorant of the fact that making sexual advances to a woman is working under them are against the Law of the Land,and against Islamic Law that is punishable by the severest laws of the hudood. The laws of sexual harassment in secular countries are mild slaps on the hand for such people.
    2. The other place where silent oppression and repression (repression- forced submission to control by others), is most evident and yet unrecognized is in the home.In the Din of ALLAH, In islam there are rights that cover every aspect of the muslim life,the muslim society. one of these aspect of life is the knowledge(Ilm) of islam, and the Rigth to have knowledge of Islam and that right is for all People the Muslim and the Non muslim. As the Holy Quran teaches,
    Islam is the religion of knowledge. .Here if each individual does not ask the question of himself or herself before demanding something from the other “ Am I asking her or him to do something which is beyond my right to ask for?” then oppression occurs and slowly builds creating a power structure in the heart and mind of the oppressor and suppressed anger and evolving passion of violence in the hearts and mind of the oppressed.
    Again this wound festers and eventually boils over and the public sees it in a newspaper headline where a wife set fire to the bed in which her husband was asleep, or a husband kills his wife and children after she separated from him and went to live elsewhere. In society this factual report is only the tip of the iceberg.
    In the second surah of the Quran, Surah Baqara Allah SWT has given us a summary of the code of ethics and behavior to follow in our daily life. He (SWT) outlines the “Haqooq al Ebad” (which means the rights of the humankind over each other.)Our Holy Qur'an was revelaed to us for our guidance with Man as its Subject.. With this blessing to mankind, we muslims have been invited to the right path .. Allah(swt) said " Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah... Surah Al-Imran :110)
    (Haqooq ul Allah and Haqooq ul Ibaad are the two most important aspects in a life of a Muslim to complete his Faith .
    Haqooq Ul Ibaad is the duty we owe to makind.. the rights of every Muslim on the other Muslim. A Muslim who fulfills the " Haqooq Ul Allah" will also fulfill the ' Haqooq ul Ibaad " these are two different things but still intertwined. A Muslim must himself be good and must also encourage others to do good, and he must strive for the welfare of society. This duty is called - Amar Bil Maroof, which means enjoining the right. A Muslim must also refrain from sins and must try to prevent sins and corruption from occurring in the society and this duty is called - Nahi Anil Munkar(forbidding the wrong.) Amar Bil Maroof and Nahi Anil Munkar together form one of the most important duties in Islam for every Muslim. Fortunate are the ones who practise this in daily life to live a peaceful life in the spirit of brotherhood as one Muslim Ummah. O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). (Surah Al-Hujrat :13) There is a hadith of when Prophet Mohammed (saws) was asked, “Who is the best Muslim?” He replied, “He is the one from whose hand and tongue all Muslims are safe .... Sahih Bukhari... What a beautiful lesson taught to us, If we all sincerely follow this I think we would have not been in a situation where we stand now...where there is injustice, Back biting, slandering, hatred, Bloodshed etc. .....today humanity needs to revive on these lessons....In another Hadith Prophet Mohammad(saws) said "'None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself ..... Sahih Bukhari.... If only we followed all this, we can be a true momin and make our self way to Jannah. There is also this beatiful Hadith that makes us ponder and realize our duties towards each other... Once Prophet (saws) was asked by the Sahabah “Do you know who a bankrupt person is?” They said “the bankrupt among us is the person who does not have any wealth. He (saws) said, “The bankrupt of my Ummah, the bankrupt person is someone who comes on the day of judgement with many rewards, prayer, fasting, Zakat, but he had accused this person falsely, he abused another, cursed a third, taken the money of somebody else, spilt the blood of someone else, so he ends up giving them from his good deeds and if he runs out of good deeds and he didn’t pay them back, then they start giving him some of their sins and he ends up going to hell fire.” - Sahih Muslim On the day of judgement there will be no wealth, the only wealth that exists is hasanat (good deeds) and he has a lot of them, but because of his dealings with others and because he scored low on the scales of Akhlaq (morals) and he was cursing people, backbiting others, causing fitan (mischief), He has to pay them back. Everything must be sorted out. He will pay them back and if his good deeds are not enough, he will start receiving some of their sins and will end up going to hell fire. This clearly states how much Islam Values about Good Conduct . And indeed our Prophet (saws ) is the Best example to follow as how to fulfill our duties and rights towards mankind. Whatever has been done to any of the humanity(Allah's Creations) .. we are answerable on the day of Judgement.. and Allah(swt) will not forgive us unless the person who we hurt or did injustice to forgives us.. suchis the Value of humans and all this comes under haqooq ul ibaad..We have to live our life in accordance to the guidelines of Islam.. Every single person from our Parents, borthers, sisters to relatives, Neighbors, traveller, strangers.. every person have to be treated fairly and in the best manner. We will be accounted even for our behaviour towards animals. ALlah(swt) created us as Ashraf Ul Maqlooq and as Muslim we belong to the best Ummat. Indeed we have been given so many favors and its our responsibility to give back to Allah (swt) by loving him and being grateful to him, Our Prophet(saws) and also the mankind ( All the creations of Allah(swt) . We have to consider the circle of rights of human beings (Huqooq al ebad) as defined in the Quran (Surah Baqara), which creates harmony in society.These include the rights of human beings on each other, parents, spouses, relatives, neighbors, other human beings, needy people etc. We are accountable to Allah Subhanawataala for fulfilling them in the most honorable manner and we will be questioned about them on the Day of Judgment. We consciously endeavor to obey the “rules” in this life of 75-85 years, thus opting for harmony, peace and beauty in the Eternal Life of the Hereafter. Why is there such a code of behavior in Islam? non-muslim people often ask this question. The answer is, having a global code of ethics that is based on humanity and following guidance of ALLAH and the Excellent Example of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) makes for a peaceful and happy world.
    6:46
    Say: "Think ye, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, who - a god other than Allah - could restore them to you?" See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); yet they turn aside.
    6:47
    Say: "Think ye, if the punishment of Allah comes to you, whether suddenly or openly, will any be destroyed except those who do wrong?
    This ayah is revealed at a time when Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is surrounded by the Qaum ud Dhalimoon. In it is Allah’s promise of justice that will be meted out to the Dhalimoon “suddenly and openly”. A promise by which the weak and the opressed believers live and know that Dhulm cannot surpass the justice of Allah now or ever.
    When we think of Dhulm we think in a global context of nations and organizations commiting oppression. However the Dhulm as defined here is on a very personal level. When we continuously tolerate small injustices in and around us, we desensitize ourselves from the more Kabeer (huge) injustices, and then we are shocked when Allah sends His punishment “suddenly and openly”. We then try to rationalize it as being a ” A freak of nature”.
    This Ayah is a stern warning to the Dhalimoon (inadequately translated as “those who do wrong”)
    We should never be without the fear of Allah. As we look around there is no constancy in life and environment, it can change any moment. The only constant is Allah SWT. Even sleep cannot be taken for granted. We may never awaken, after sleep, which is the reason Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), would make the dua on awakening. (Farhat Hashmi’s tafseer)
    The instructions from Allah to “rush to do good” i.e. do not put off performing a good deed are for a reason as the opportunity may not come again. The outcome of the Dhalim (one who commits dhulm/opression) knowingly or out of heedlessness is glaringly apparent in this brief ayah:
    6:47 Say: “Think ye, if the punishment of Allah comes to you, whether suddenly or openly, will any be destroyed except those who do wrong?
    Qul araaytakum in atakum AAathabu Allahi baghtatan aw jahratan hal yuhlaku illa alqawmu alththalimoona
    (6:47)
    DEFINATION OF DHULM:
    What is dhulm and what does it do to the human being?
    Dhulm is the death of the ‘human’ in the human being, the human is gone and being is left.
    Dhulm is to deprive someone of their rights
    1. The Rights of a person over his goods and things or rights as a human being (human rights)
    2. The Rights of Allah, rushing through salaat, in adequate or mindless wudu, distracted ibadat (worship) In all of these actions we are not fulfilling the rights of Allah on us by giving priority to the created over the Creator.
    3. The rights of human relations such as the rights of the spouse, the child, parents, the neighbors, the orphan etc (Huqooq al Ebad).
    4. To usurp rights by harming people directly or indirectly such as preparing ways and means and tools and objects to destroy human beings.
    What is Qaum ud Dhalimoon? It is a Nation of Dhalimeen or a nation of people who do dhulm),
    Allah reminds us that If He (SWT) is allowing Dhulm to happen it is merely to see if human beings will give up this behavior (Dhulm) and return to Allah. He is giving us a long leash, a second and third chance and a glimpse of his infinite rahma and patience with His (SWT) disobedient Abds. Ya ALLAH You are the witness to all things! Ya ALLAH!

Allaah says: “They wish that you reject faith as they have rejected (faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another).” (An-Nisaa’: 89).

    Silent oppression(Part2)

    Bismillah Ir-Rahman, Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH's auspiciousness, whose Name is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An Laa illaaha illal llahu
    Wa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu
    ''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah
    who is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.''
    "O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family.
    Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". Iam Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher,Iam Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam) I seek Protection with ALLAH! With the Glorious and Noble Face of ALLAH! With the Complete and Perfect words of ALLAH! With the Exalted Attributes of ALLAH! From the Punishment of Hell; From chastisement in the Grave; From the Trial of Life and Death; From the Mischief of the dajjal. There is no power nor strength with (anyone) save Allah. ALLAH is Good and Only accept that which is Good. ALLAH is the Truth and only accept that which True. ALLAH is Pure and only accept that which is Pure. Ya ALLAH! ALL the praises are for You,You are the Holder of the Heavens and the Earth, And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are are the Substaner of the Heavens and the Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All the praises are for you;You have the Possession of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All the praises are for You; You are Light(Nur) of the Heavens and Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are the King of the Heavens and the Earth And whatever is in them. Ya ALLAH! All praises are for You; You are the Truth and Your Promise is the Truth, And Your word is the Truth and the Meeting with You is true, And Parardise is True And Hell is true and All the Prophets(peace be upon them) are true; And Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is true,And the Day of Resurrection is True. Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your promise is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your words is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and You are the Truth! On the authority of Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) from his Lord Almighty that He said:
    "O My servants ! I have forbidden zulm (oppression) for Myself, and I have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except those whom I have guided, so seek guidance from Me and I shall guide you. O My servants, all of you are hungry except those whom I have fed, so seek food from Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except those whom I have clothed, so seek clothing from Me and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you commit sins by day and by night, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness from Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm me, and you will not attain benefiting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as pious as the most pious heart of any individual amongst you, then this would not increase My Kingdom an iota. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as wicked as the most wicked heart of any individual amongst you, then this would not decrease My Kingdom an iota. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all to stand together in one place and ask of Me, and I were to give everyone what he requested, then that would not decrease what I possess, except what is decreased of the ocean when a needle is dipped into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I account for you, and then recompense you for. So he who finds good, let him praise Allah, and he who finds other than that, let him blame no one but himself." (Muslim) For each individual there are three levels of evaluation of Oppression:
    1. To look within oneself not once not twice but intermittently and continuously to keep ones behavior fair and just with all his/her contacts, neither oppressing them, nor being oppressed.
    2. To look in ones immediate environment for signs of oppression and to assist the oppressed and desist the oppressor.
    3. To look further away into society at large and if oppression is apparent, to assist the oppressed and desist the oppressor.
    If the inner code of human ethics as taught by the words of ALLAH in the Quran coupled with a healthy fear of ALLAH is present it usually is enough to keep oppression in check both in society and the in Civilization. There are so many people in the world living silently in pain and fear and have no hope or roadmap of how to get out of their complex life situation.
    Unfortunately, there are no quick fixes without an understanding of the basis and etiquette of the global relationship of the human race with each other individually and collectively.
    Allah Subhan wata ala guides us in the Quran modulating human behavior to avert the pain and suffering that human afflict on each other:
    It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards East or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing. Quran:2:177
    The believers are guided to what is good for fellow human beings on one hand and sternly warned against Oppression on the other hand by Allah (SWT). Repeatedly in the Quran the oppressors are given due notice that if they continue in this world to oppress the weak, there waits for them in the Hereafter, the pit of fire from which there is no escape. It will burn their skin, baring the nerve endings, new skin will be replaced with all its sensitivity to burn again and thus the cycle will continue forever. A soul shaking warning for those who are cognizant and not blinded by arrogance or blinded by ignorance.
    The Arabic word for oppression, as it is understood it is dhulm. Somehow the translation into English as oppression just does not equivale it. Dhulm on the other hand is not a single action, but a series of continuous acts to denigrate-belittle-defame, dehumanize-to deprive of human qualities, and subjugate- to domination, control and to make something subordinate ,someone by encroaching indelibly on his or her rights and who is unable to resist this encroachment.
    The means employed by the oppressor are not as important as the actual intention and act of oppression. The oppressor is called Dhalim and the oppressed is called Mazloom.
    There are many types of oppression, but one thing is consistent in all forms: the oppressor is powerful and the oppressed is powerless against the onslaught of dhulm or oppression. when ALLAH speaks about oppression! that He has forbidden it, He speaks about it in every aspect of life, and in every form.
    O People of Authority! O Tyrants of the world! O Oppressors Fear ALLAH! and beware! Be kind and mercyful to the Muslim people, Being kind and merciful do not mean, being kind and merciful to one set of people and being cruel, unfair and oppressive to another! ''Give the Muslim people who are under your authority their Rights and what is justly due to them and do not be cruel and unfair by treating the people like dirt!"...,Allah SWT repeatedly warns humankind to be kind to each other and not oppress each other and not take another’s right by force or fear?
    This stern warning in the Quran serves as the great balancer of life in this world. One person oppresses another one, and a third one comes to the rescue of the oppressed. Sometimes the oppressor begins oppression and then because of his fear of Allah retracts his behavior and let's go of the subjugation of the oppressed.
    There are two formats of Oppression:
    1. Deliberate: Inebriated with Blind arrogance of power the Dhalim (oppressor) rides rough shod over the weak and when he/she succeeds in usurping the rights of the weak continues to do so as he does not have any fear of Allah in his heart or mind.
    2. with blind Ignorance: A Dhalim oppressor may be unaware that his actions may be a form of oppression and the obedience that he is extracting is at the expense of the rights of the mazloom or oppressed. This I call silent oppression, silent compassion comes from two source fear and ignorance ,
    The reason it is call silent oppression is because the oppressor conducts it silently and secretly and sometime this Silent oppression is inflicted on a whole Nation of people, a whole society, sometimes the people may even be unaware of this silent oppression because it has been going on for generations or the Tyrant may consider it his right to impose this form of Dhulm-oppression on the people.
    On the other side there is silence from the mazloom or the oppressed who is slowly and gradually being “gaslighted”-A form of intimidation or psychological abuse, or chronically-Subject to a habit or pattern of behavior of abused for a long time such that they begin to have great fear that this is something that they cannot escape from and it is a hopeless situation, therefore they no longer stand up to their rights. And yet one day the mounting acts of oppression are no longer tolerable even with the rationalization noted above. The situation between the oppressor and the oppressed explodes into external violence. That is the day when the issue of oppression becomes a headline not as oppression but only the result of it. That which has befallen Gaddafi in Libya, Is not a thing to be over looked! It Can happen anywhere in the world at any time, and too any Tyrant! Bad actions bring about bad consequence!"... weather that tyrant is over a Country, over a state, over a city, over a town, over a village, over a community, or over a masjid, Any one resembling an oppressive ruler in the harsh use of authority or power, in this time that we are living in it can happen!"...
    Examples of silent oppression are seen in schools and the outcomes are seen in the actions of the carnage done by the two boys of Columbine High School or more recently the single shooter of Virginia Tech.
    Silent oppression usually does not have the explosive outcome in the devoutly Muslim people, but it has happened! as a result of tyrannical behavior! as it has in the non-Muslim countries. The reason being twofold:
    1. The oppressor in moments of cognizance recognizes his oppression and backs off due to fear of Allah, or someone in the Muslim society puts pressure on the oppressor and puts the fear of ALLAH in him thus forcing him without violence to accede the rights to the oppressed, that was at a earlier time in our history when we could recite the words of ALLAH! and His words would instill fear in the heart of a tyrant or a wrongdoer.! But Now these oppressive tyrants and wrongdoers of this day and time can only see raw power, tyranny and oppression. 2.The oppressed turn to Allah and it is a Hadith that the Dua of the oppressed to Allah is never turned away by Him ( SWT), Allah promises to answer the dua of an oppressed person. Rasulallah (Sallallahu 'alaihi wassallam) said: "Be afraid of the curse of an oppressed person as there is no screen between his invocation and Allah." (Al-Bukhari),Allah gives an oath by His Majesty and Honor that anyone who is oppressed and invokes Him, He will grant him victory. There are three people who Allah will never reject their prayer. They are:
    1) a just leader
    2) a fasting person
    3) someone who is oppressed. There lived a group of leaders in the Arabian Peninsula known as Barak. Though they were Muslims, they oppressed others and seized the wealth of people. The people living in the area continually made dua against the oppressive leaders. Eventually, the cruel leaders were apprehended. Once they were captured, one of the sons asked his father how they were able to be imprisoned. The father replied that it must have been by the prayer of someone who was oppressed, and therefore, Allah granted him his invocation.
    Allah says in the Quran:
    "When people forget and transgress their boundaries, we let them do what they want. When they feel proud that which they got, we take them swiftly, we annihilate the oppressors and praise be to Allah."
    Thus, the ability to bear minor oppression is strengthened in a person who remains in Dhikr.
    Factors propagating oppression in Muslim societies:
    Sometimes the veil of Lies invented from cultural religiosity is used to continue oppression and repression,(this Repression is an unconscious process that tries to reduce the anxiety associated with instinctive desires)This is when both the oppressor and the oppressed believe this oppression to be right, this is religious ignorant and repression , as they are ignorant of ALLAH's way of given rights to the victim clearly outlined in the Quran and summarized in Surah al Baqarah. The right of being treated with dignity by all irrespective of caste creed and gender given to human beings by Allah SWT are distorted by self-serving, ignorant tyrants and wrongdoers and wannabe People of authority who imitates the behavior of the ignorant tyrants. Where is silent oppression most evident?
    1. Silent oppression is most overt in the beau acratic organization where people are captive due to their dependence on the goodwill of their bosses for their jobs rather than their expertise. Their bosses if they are not ALLAH fearing, recognizing the helplessness of the people under them oppress them. Examples are the sexual advances towards female workers under male bosses. The male bosses do not feel that they are accountable to Allah SWT for their behavior. They are ignorant of the fact that making sexual advances to a woman is working under them are against the Law of the Land, and against Islamic Law that is punishable by the severest laws of the hudood. The laws of sexual harassment in secular countries are mild slaps on the hand for such people.
    2. The other place where silent oppression and repression (repression- forced submission to control by others), is most evident and yet unrecognized is in the home. In the Din of ALLAH, In Islam there are rights that cover every aspect of the Muslim life, the Muslim society. one of these aspects of life is the knowledge(Ilm) of Islam, and the Right to have knowledge of Islam and that right is for all People the Muslim and the Non-Muslim. As the Holy Quran teaches,
    Islam is the religion of knowledge. .Here if each individual does not ask the question of himself or herself before demanding something from the other “ Am I asking her or him to do something which is beyond my right to ask for?” then oppression occurs and slowly builds creating a power structure in the heart and mind of the oppressor and suppressed anger and evolving passion of violence in the hearts and mind of the oppressed.
    Again, this wound festers and eventually boils over and the public sees it in a newspaper headline where a wife set fire to the bed in which her husband was asleep, or a husband kills his wife and children after she separated from him and went to live elsewhere. In society this factual report is only the tip of the iceberg.
    In the second surah of the Quran, Surah Baqarah Allah SWT has given us a summary of the code of ethics and behavior to follow in our daily life. He (SWT) outlines the “Haqooq al Ebad” (which means the rights of the humankind over each other.)Our Holy Qur'an was revelaed to us for our guidance with Man as its Subject.. With this blessing to mankind, we muslims have been invited to the right path .. Allah(swt) said " Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah... Surah Al-Imran :110)
    (Haqooq ul Allah and Haqooq ul Ibaad are the two most important aspects in a life of a Muslim to complete his Faith .
    Haqooq Ul Ibaad is the duty we owe to mankind.. the rights of every Muslim on the other Muslim. A Muslim who fulfills the " Haqooq Ul Allah" will also fulfill the ' Haqooq ul Ibaad " these are two different things but still intertwined. A Muslim must himself be good and must also encourage others to do good, and he must strive for the welfare of society. This duty is called - Amar Bil Maroof, which means enjoining the right. A Muslim must also refrain from sins and must try to prevent sins and corruption from occurring in the society and this duty is called - Nahi Anil Munkar(forbidding the wrong.) Amar Bil Maroof and Nahi Anil Munkar together form one of the most important duties in Islam for every Muslim. Fortunate are the ones who practice this in daily life to live a peaceful life in the spirit of brotherhood as one Muslim Ummah. O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). (Surah Al-Hujrat :13) There is a hadith of when Prophet Mohammed (saws) was asked, “Who is the best Muslim?” He replied, “He is the one from whose hand and tongue all Muslims are safe .... Sahih Bukhari... What a beautiful lesson taught to us, If we all sincerely follow this, I think we would have not been in a situation where we stand now...where there is injustice, Back biting, slandering, hatred, Bloodshed etc. .....today humanity needs to revive on these lessons....In another Hadith Prophet Mohammad(saws) said "'None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself. (Sahih Bukhari) If only we followed all this, we can be a true Momin and make our self-way to Jannah. There is also this beautiful Hadith that makes us ponder and realize our duties towards each other... Once Prophet (saws) was asked by the Sahabah “Do you know who a bankrupt person is?” They said “the bankrupt among us is the person who does not have any wealth. He (saws) said, “The bankrupt of my Ummah, the bankrupt person is someone who comes on the day of judgement with many rewards, prayer, fasting, Zakat, but he had accused this person falsely, he abused another, cursed a third, taken the money of somebody else, spilt the blood of someone else, so he ends up giving them from his good deeds and if he runs out of good deeds and he didn’t pay them back, then they start giving him some of their sins and he ends up going to hell fire.” - Sahih Muslim On the day of judgement there will be no wealth, the only wealth that exists is hasanat (good deeds) and he has a lot of them, but because of his dealings with others and because he scored low on the scales of Akhlaq (morals) and he was cursing people, backbiting others, causing fitnah (mischief), He has to pay them back. Everything must be sorted out. He will pay them back and if his good deeds are not enough, he will start receiving some of their sins and will end up going to hell fire. This clearly states how much Islam Values about Good Conduct . And indeed, our Prophet (saws ) is the Best example to follow as how to fulfill our duties and rights towards mankind. Whatever has been done to any of the humanity(Allah's Creations) .. we are answerable on the day of Judgement.. and Allah(swt) will not forgive us unless the person who we hurt or did injustice to forgives us.. such is the Value of humans and all this comes under haqooq ul ibaad..We have to live our life in accordance to the guidelines of Islam.. Every single person from our Parents, brothers, sisters to relatives, Neighbors, traveler, strangers.. every person has to be treated fairly and in the best manner. We will be accounted even for our behavior towards animals. ALLAH(swt) created us as Ashraf Ul Maqlooq and as Muslim we belong to the best Ummah. Indeed, we have been given so many favors and it's our responsibility to give back to Allah (swt) by loving him and being grateful to him, Our Prophet(saws) and also the mankind ( All the creations of Allah(swt) . We have to consider the circle of rights of human beings (Huqooq al ebad) as defined in the Quran (Surah Baqarah), which creates harmony in society. These include the rights of human beings on each other, parents, spouses, relatives, neighbors, other human beings, needy people etc. We are accountable to Allah Subhan wata ala for fulfilling them in the most honorable manner and we will be questioned about them on the Day of Judgment. We consciously endeavor to obey the “rules” in this life of 75-85 years, thus opting for harmony, peace and beauty in the Eternal Life of the Hereafter. Why is there such a code of behavior in Islam? non-muslim people often ask this question. The answer is, having a global code of ethics that is based on humanity and following guidance of ALLAH and the Excellent Example of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) makes for a peaceful and happy world.
    6:46
    Say: "Think ye, if Allah took away you're hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, who - a god other than Allah - could restore them to you?" See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); yet they turn aside.
    6:47
    Say: "Think ye, if the punishment of Allah comes to you, whether suddenly or openly, will any be destroyed except those who do wrong?
    This ayah is revealed at a time when Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is surrounded by the Qaum ud Dhalimoon. In it is Allah’s promise of justice that will be meted out to the Dhalimoon “suddenly and openly”. A promise by which the weak and the oppressed believers live and know that Dhulm cannot surpass the justice of Allah now or ever.
    When we think of Dhulm we think in a global context of nations and organizations committing oppression. However, the Dhulm as defined here is on a very personal level. When we continuously tolerate small injustices in and around us, we desensitize ourselves from the more Kabeer (huge) injustices, and then we are shocked when Allah sends His punishment “suddenly and openly”. We then try to rationalize it as being a ” A freak of nature”.
    This Ayah is a stern warning to the Dhalimoon (inadequately translated as “those who do wrong”)
    We should never be without the fear of Allah. As we look around there is no constancy in life and environment, it can change any moment. The only constant is Allah SWT. Even sleep cannot be taken for granted. We may never awaken, after sleep, which is the reason Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), would make the dua on awakening. (Farhat Hashmi’s tafseer)
    The instructions from Allah to “rush to do good” i.e. do not put off performing a good deed are for a reason as the opportunity may not come again. The outcome of the Dhalim (one who commits dhulm/opression) knowingly or out of heedlessness is glaringly apparent in this brief ayah:
    6:47 Say: “Think ye, if the punishment of Allah comes to you, whether suddenly or openly, will any be destroyed except those who do wrong?
    Qul araaytakum in atakum AAathabu Allahi baghtatan aw jahratan hal yuhlaku illa alqawmu alththalimoona
    (6:47)
    DEFINATION OF DHULM:
    What is dhulm and what does it do to the human being?
    Dhulm is the death of the ‘human’ in the human being, the human is gone and being is left.
    Dhulm is to deprive someone of their rights
    1. The Rights of a person over his goods and things or rights as a human being (human rights)
    2. The Rights of Allah, rushing through salaat, in adequate or mindless wudu, distracted ibadat (worship) In all of these actions we are not fulfilling the rights of Allah on us by giving priority to the created over the Creator.
    3. The rights of human relations such as the rights of the spouse, the child, parents, the neighbors, the orphan etc (Huqooq al Ebad).
    4. To usurp rights by harming people directly or indirectly such as preparing ways and means and tools and objects to destroy human beings.
    What is Qaum ud Dhalimoon? It is a Nation of Dhalimeen or a nation of people who do dhulm),
    Allah reminds us that If He (SWT) is allowing Dhulm to happen it is merely to see if human beings will give up this behavior (Dhulm) and return to Allah. He is giving us a long leash, a second and third chance and a glimpse of his infinite Mercy and patience with His (SWT) disobedient Abds. Ya ALLAH You are the witness to all things! Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your promise is the truth! Ya ALLAH! You have promise and Your words is the truth, Ya ALLAH! You have promise and You are the Truth!. That You would answers the Prayers of the Oppress! O ALLAH curse these oppressive kafir governments throughout the world! that are oppressing the Muslims, O ALLAH ! these fakes, these phonies ,these hypocrites, these kafirs, these satanic Jews and these satanic Christian, and their Bosses in this city of Houston,tx. they are oppressing me! Ya ALLAH they are your open enemies and who make mockery of Your Din, and of our Faith and they make mockery of the Sunnah of Your Nabi(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) in this city of Houston,tx. They have taken my possession and using them as tools to oppress me through black magic , sorcery, witchcraft, voodoo and the shaytaan, O ALLAH curse their wealth, their power and their Authority! O ALLAH strip these black hearted wicked hypocrites and kafirs of their power and authority for their unjustifiable cruel and malicious abuse and misuse of power and Authority by oppressing me and other, O ALLAH disgrace and punish these enemies of your! with a powerful disgrace and punish that will last to the Day of Judgement. Ya ALLAH bring your justice in its entirety upon this Kafir government and its forces, its secret agencies and its secret organizations who encouraged its people to practice homosexuality and to be disobedience to You, these kafirs are Your open enemies are oppressing me and many others and has been oppressing us for years, O ALLAH curse these oppressive kafir and their secret agencies and secret agents, who sole purpose is to bring disgrace upon Islam and hardship to the believers people, O ALLAH curse these kafir every day of the Islamic calendar year, O ALLAH disgrace and punish them with such curses that their entire Secret Organizations and open Organization's and Secret Agencies disintegrate before their very eyes under the weight of Your disgrace and punish ! And that they destroy themselves with their own hands. O kafirs if you think that this cannot be a reality then keep living! and less see if you are not Under the disgrace and punish of ALLAH! O Enemies of ALLAH! O followers of the dajjal, O Oppressors! Fear ALLAH! as he should be Fear! Do you fear the Pin(Pen) more then you Fear ALLAH! Do you fear that this Pen will write about your Disgraceful behavior! then know that your already in disgrace! and you do not know it! And ALLAH! can disgrace you for eternity, or Do you fear that the Pen will expose your sinister Plotting with the secret societies and secret agencies against Islam and against the Believers Muslims, Its already expose! and ALLAH can bring to public notice every detail of your Evil plot. So, O foolish ones give up your madness and come to ISLAM! come back to ISLAM Wholeheartedly the time is getting short and the Hour is near. O enemies of ALLAH! You can run around and tell as many lies to all of those who will accept it, spreading dissension among the Muslims, telling lies causing the Muslims to mistrust each other, and stir up sedition and creating hostility between the Muslims and the non-Muslim, trying to destroy the Character and Integrity of the Believing Muslims, you can fool some of the people, but you cannot fool all of the people with Lies, the people can ask you one question what did this person or these people do wrong? where are the facts? where is the prove? All this is the characteristics of Enemies of ALLAH. Allaah says: “They wish that you reject faith as they have rejected (faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another).” (An-Nisaa’: 89).

    “Our Rabb! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good,and save us from the torment of the Fire!”----------

    Tafseer Ibn Kathir : Surah Al Baqarah Ayah 201


    The Order for Remembrance of Allah and seeking Good in this Life and the Hereafter

    (200. So when you have accomplished your Manasik, remember Allah as you remember your forefathers or with far more remembrance. But of mankind there are some who say: “Our Rabb! Give us (Your bounties) in this world!” and for such there will be no portion in the Hereafter.) (201. And of them there are some who say:“Our Rabb! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!”) (202. For them there will be alloted a share for what they have earned. And Allah is swift at reckoning.)Allah commands that He be remembered after the rituals are performed.
    (…as you remember your forefathers)Sa`id bin Jubayr said that Ibn `Abbas said, “During the time of Jahiliyyah, people used to stand during the (Hajj) season, and one of them would say, `My father used to feed (the poor), help others (end their disputes, with his money), pay the Diyah (i.e., blood money),’ and so forth. The only Dhikr that they had was that they would remember the deeds of their fathers. Allah then revealed to Muhammad(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
    Remember Allah as you remember your forefathers or with far more remembrance.)Therefore, remembering Allah the Exalted and Ever High is always encouraged. We should mention that when Allah used “or” in the Ayah, He meant to encourage the people to remember Him more than they remember their forefathers, not that the word entails a doubt (as to which is larger or bigger). This statement is similar to the Ayat…as stones or even worse in hardness) (2:74) and,
    (. ..fear men as they fear Allah or even more) (4:77) and,
    (And We sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or even more) (37:147) and,
    (And was at a distance of two bows’ length or (even) nearer.) (53:9)Allah encourages calling Him in supplication after remembering Him, because this will make it more likely that the supplication will be accepted. Allah also criticizes those who only supplicate to Him about the affairs of this life, while ignoring the affairs of the Hereafter. Allah said But of mankind there are some who say: “Our Rabb! Give us (Your bounties) in this world!” and for such there will be no portion in the Hereafter.)meaning, they have no share in the Hereafter. This criticism serves to discourage other people from imitating those mentioned.Sa`id bin Jubayr said that Ibn `Abbas said, “Some bedouins used to come to the standing area (`Arafat) and supplicate saying, `O Allah! Make it a rainy year, a fertile year and a year of good child bearing.’ They would not mention any of the affairs of the Hereafter. Thus, Allah revealed about them But of mankind there are some who say: “Our Rabb! Give us (Your bounties) in this world!” and for such there will be no portion in the Hereafter.)The believers who came after them used to say:
    (Our Rabb! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!”)Next, Allah revealed:
    (For them there will be alloted a share for what they have earned. And Allah is swift at reckoning.)Hence, Allah praised those who ask for the affairs of both this life and the Hereafter. He said:
    (And of them there are some who say: “Our Rabb! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!”)The supplication mentioned and praised in the Ayah includes all good aspects of this life and seeks refuge from all types of evil. The good of this life concerns every material request of well-being, spacious dwelling, pleasing mates, sufficient provision, beneficial knowledge, good profession or deeds, comfortable means of transportation and good praise, all of which the scholars of Tafsir have mentioned regarding this subject. All of these are but a part of the good that is sought in this life. As for the good of the Hereafter, the best of this includes acquiring Paradise, which also means acquiring safety from the greatest horror at the gathering place. It also refers to being questioned lightly and the other favors in the Hereafter.As for acquiring safety from the Fire, it includes being directed to what leads to this good end in this world, such as avoiding the prohibitions, sins of all kinds and doubtful matters.Al-Qasim bin `Abdur-Rahman said,“Whoever is gifted with a grateful heart, a remembering tongue and a patient body, will have been endowed with a good deed in this life, a good deed in the Hereafter and saved from the torment of the Fire.”This is why the Sunnah encourages reciting this Du`a’ (i.e., in the Ayah about gaining a good deed in this life and the Hereafter). Al-Bukhari reported that Anas bin Malik narrated that the Prophet(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
    used to say O Allah, our Rabb! Give us that which is good in this life, that which is good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of the Fire.)Imam Ahmad reported that Anas said,“Allah’s Messenger(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
    visited a Muslim man who had become as weak as a sick small bird. Allah’s Messenger(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
    said to him, `Were you asking or supplicating to Allah about something’ He said, `Yes. I used to say: O Allah! Whatever punishment you saved for me in the Hereafter, give it to me in this life.’ Allah’s Messenger(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
    said (All praise is due to Allah! You cannot bear it -or stand it-. You should have said: (Our Rabb! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!))The man began reciting this Du`a and he was cured.”Muslim also recorded it.Al-Hakim reported that Sa`id bin Jubayr said, “A man came to Ibn `Abbas and said, `I worked for some people and settled for a part of my compensation in return for their taking me to perform Hajj with them. Is this acceptable’ Ibn `Abbas said, `You are among those whom Allah described For them there will be alloted a share for what they have earned. And Allah is swift at reckoning.)Al-Hakim then commented; “This Hadith is authentic according to the criteria of the Two Shaykhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) although they did not record it.”

    {Remembrance of Allah}Part 2

    Bismillah Ir-Rahman, Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH's auspiciousness, whose Name is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An Laa illaahaillalllahuWa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu WaRasooluhu ''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah who is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Sallallahu 'alayhiwasallam) is the Rasool.''
    "O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". I am Satisfied with ALLAH as My Rabb and Cherisher, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din (religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahualaihi was salam.(Amin!) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------{Remembrance of Allah}------------------------------ We believe that dhikr is the most beneficial form of practice a person can perform while still alive on Earth. Even though dhikr is translated as "invoke" or "remembrance" of Allah, this translation is extremely insufficient.


    1.Dhikr increases the capacity of brain in the direction of the meaning of words repeated in mind.

    2.Dhikr transfers the wave energy generated by brain to the person's soul (ruh), which is the hologram-like spiritual body of waves, thus, it provides the person with a strong soul in the afterlife.

    3.Dhikr develops brain faculties such as comprehension, understanding and assimilation of the meanings of the repeated words.

    4.Dhikr brings certainty (yaqeen) about Allah.

    5.Dhikr results in realization with the divine meanings.

    Due to its properties, some of which we pointed out above, dhikr is mentioned as a highly regarded practice in the Qur'an ul-Kareem; and those who do not pay enough attention to dhikr are urgently warned:

    "And whoever turns himself away from the dhikr of the Rahman, We set a Satan on him, then he becomes his associate. And most surely they turn them away from the true path, but they still think that they are guided aright. (43: 36/37)

    "Satan has taken them under control and made them forget the remembrance (dhikr) of Allah; they are the Satan's party, now surely, those who follow Satan will be disappointed." (58: 19)

    "…Practice dhikr of Allah very much."(33: 41)

    "Whoever turns away from my dhikr, verily for him is a difficult (narrowed down) living, and We raise him on the day of resurrection, as blind."(20: 124)

    "When you remember (dhikr) me, I am remembering you…"(2: 152)

    "When my servants ask you of Me, I am indeed close to them. I answer the du'a of those when they pray du'a to Me." (2-186)

    "And certainly the dhikr of Allah is of the highest degree (akbaar)."(29-45)

    Take a look at Hadrat RasulAllah's words pointing out how very beneficial dhikr is for people:

    His reply to the question "Which deeds are most favored by Allah?":

    "To pass away while your tongue is still moist with the dhikr of Allah!"[1]

    "Would you like me to inform you of which deed of yours is of the highest benefit, which is the purest at the sight of Allah, and which will increase your degrees the most, and which is more beneficial for you than giving away gold and silver, and than encountering your enemies on battlefields and cutting off their necks and they cut off yours in the name of Allah?

    That is dhikr of Allah, the highest."[2]

    "No deed can save you from the punishment of Allah more than dhikr of Allah."

    When asked "Which servant's degree is of the highest merit at the sight of Allah on the Day of Judgment?" he replied:

    "The ones who do dhikr of Allah the most!"

    When asked, "What about the degree of the veteran who fights in the Name of Allah?"

    He replied:

    "Even if he fights with infidels and polytheists until his sword shatters and is covered in blood, certainly the degree of the ones who practice dhikr of Allah is of still higher merit" .[3]

    "It is only by practicing dhikr of Allah that a servant may be safeguarded from Satan."

    "Of all the things you possess, a tongue which practices dhikr of Allah, a heart full of gratitude and a life partner who supports your faith are of the highest merit."

    "The example of people who do dhikr of Allah and who don't is like people who are alive and dead!"[4]

    "Practice dhikr of Allah so much so that people should start to question your madness."[5]

    "Practice dhikr of Allah so much so that the hypocrites (munafiqun) should think you are doing it to show off."

    "The mufarridun have surpassed all." They asked, "Who are the mufarridun, Rasul of Allah?" He replied, "Those men and women who are devoted to do dhikr of Allah abundantly. Dhikr puts off their burdens, so that they will come light-footed (agile) in the hereafter."[6]

    "Satan has his mouth on the hearts of the sons of Adam. When they do dhikr of Allah, he moves away. When they stop the dhikr due to absence of mind, he swallows their hearts!"

    This hadith involves a simile meaning that as a person practices dhikr of Allah, the jinn stay away from him and they cannot cloud his judgment by inducing misgivings in his mind; but when he stops dhikr, the jinn can exert influence on his mind very easily and control him as they like.

    "It is the highest merit of all the things that Allah inspires his servants to do dhikr ".

    "No charitable deed is more meritorious than practicing dhikr of Allah."

    "The people of heaven will not be upset for anything except for the times they spent on Earth without doing dhikr ."

    "Whoever does not practice dhikr of Allah very much will get distant from faith."

    "People will feel disappointment on the Doomsday due to every moment they lived without practicing the dhikr of Allah."

    "If a group of people gathers for a meeting, and they leave this meeting without ever doing dhikr of Allah, that meeting turns out to be a reason of disappointment for them on the Doomsday."

    "Whoever practices dhikr of Allah will be distant from hypocrisy!"

    Many other hadiths of RasulAllah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam like the ones above, provide us big warnings regarding the practice of dhikr.

    [1] [Mu'az ibn Jabal (rahmatullahi alaih) said that the last words I heard from the Rasul of Allah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam were, when I asked him: which deeds are most favored by Allah, he said: "To die and your tongue is moist with dhikr of Allah." [Tabarani and others], and El-Bazzar reported it, with good chain, as follows: Tell me of the best deeds that are most favoured by Allah (bring nearer to Allah)".
    [2] [Abu Darda'a (rahmatullahi alaih) narrated that RasulAllah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallamsaid, "May I tell you what is the best of your deeds, which is the purest in the estimation of your King, the deed which is the highest and noblest among your deeds, and is better for you than spending the gold and silver, and is better for you than encountering your enemies and cut off their necks and they cut off yours (i.e. you meet them in jihad)". The Companions said: O Rasul of Allah do tell us. The RasulAllah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said, "It is the zhikr of Allah, the Most High". (Reported by Tirmidhi and El-Hakim and said: authentic; and by Ahmed with a good chain). And, Imam Malik added in his Muwata'a "Ziad ibn Abi Ziad, and Abu Abdurrahman Mu'adh ibn Jabal, both narrated: "no deed is done by the son of Adam more calculated to save him from punishment of Allah than dhikr of Allah".


    [3] [Mu'adh bin Jabal (rahmatullahialaih) narrated that, the Rasul of Allah SallaAllahu 'alayhiwaSallamsaid, "The son of Adam does nothing more calculated to rescue (save) him from punishment of Allah than dhikr of Allah." They said: "O Rasul of Allah is it greater than jihad in the cause of Allah?" He replied: "It is indeed more than jihad in the cause of Allah, even if you strike with your sword until it breaks, then you strike with it until it breaks. He repeated it three times."

    [4] [Abu Musa (rahmatullahi alaih) narrated that the RasulAllah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhu wa Sallamsaid, "The example of the one who do zhikr his Rabb (compared) to the one who does not zhikr his Rabb, is like that of a living creature to a dead one". [Agreed upon].

    [5] [Abu Saeed El-Khudari narrated that the Rasul of Allah SallaAllahuta'ala 'alayhuwaSallamsaid, "indulge in (do as much of) zhikr of Allah until they say (he is) mad." [Ahmed, Ibn Habban and El-Hakim who said: authentic chain].

    [6] [Abu Hurayrah (rahmatullahi alaih) narrated that Rasul of Allah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhu wa Sallam on his way to Makkah, passed by a mountain called Jamadan, so he (RasulAllah) said, "Continue walking (marching), this is Jamadan, the Mufarridun have taken lead (over the rest)". The Companions asked: who are the Mufarridun? He answered, "The men who remember Allah much and the women who do zhikr of Allah much". [Muslim].

    And, Imam Ahmed reported the Hadith as follows: "… the Companions asked: who are the Mufarridun? He said (RasulAllah) those who debilitate (wear-out) in the zhikr of Allah." And, Tirmidhi reported it as follows: "… who are the Mufarridun? He said those who infatuate with the zhikr of Allah; as the zhikr puts off their burdens, so that they will come light-footed (agile) in the hereafter."

    {Dhikr - Remembrance}

    Sura Al-Baqara [Yusuf Ali Translation 2:152]

    Then do ye remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me and reject not faith.156

    Note 156:
    The word "remember" is too pale a word for zikr, which has now acquired a large number of associations in our religious literature, especially Sufi literature. In its verbal signification it implies: to remember, to praise by frequently mentioning; to rehearse; to celebrate or commemorate; to make much of; to cherish the memory of as a precious possession. In Sufi devotions zikr represents both a solemn ritual and a spiritual state of mind or heart, in which the devotee seeks to realize the presence of ALLAH. Thus there is zikr of the mind and zikr of the heart. For beginners the one may lead to the other, but in many cases the two may be simultaneous. There is a subtler distinction, between the zikr that is open, and the zikr that is secret, corresponding to the two doors of the heart, the fleshly and the spiritual. In English some account (very imperfect) of zikr will be found in Hughes' Dictionary of Islam [see below], covering over 14 columns

    Those Who Yearn to meet ALLAH!(Part2)

    Excerpt from the book “The Garden of the Lovers and the Excursion of Those Who Yearn”
    by Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, Chapter: Concerning the Desire for Allah and the Signs of the One Who Knows Allah.-------------------------------------------------------------Bismillah Ir-Rahman, Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH's auspiciousness, whose Name is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An Laa illaahaillalllahuWa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu WaRasooluhu ''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah who is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.''
    "O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious". I am Satisfied with ALLAH as My Rabb and Cherisher, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din (religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahualaihi was salam.(Amin!)
    ---------------“Reflect on the address of the Quran. You will find a King for which is all ownership and all praise. The reins of all matters are in His hands, and their source is from Him and their return to Him. Established upon the bed of His dominion, not a single hidden thing can hide from Him in the corners of His kingdom. He is perfectly knowledgeable of what rests inside the souls of His slaves, observing their every private and public affair. All alone, He manages His kingdom; He hears and sees, gives and withholds, rewards and punishes, honors and humiliates, creates and provides, takes life and gives it, portions and plans.
    The decrees come down from Him, the enormous and the tiny, and ascend to Him as well. No spec moves except by His permission, and no leaf falls except by His knowledge. Reflect on how you find Him praising Himself, and extolling Himself, and thanking Himself, and advising His slaves, and directing them to what contains their happiness and success, and encouraging them towards it, and warning them from what contains their destruction. He acquaints (them) with Himself through His names and His attributes, and seeks their love (for Him) by His blessings and favors.
    -------------------------------------------As for the desire for getting closer to Allah (raghbah), (lit. His Countenance) and yearning for the meeting with Him, then it is the capital of the slave, the foundation of his affair, the basis of his life of goodness, the source of his (true) happiness, success and bliss, and it is the coolness of his eye. For this reason he was created and for it he has been commanded. The messengers have been sent and the books have been revealed also for this purpose. There is no rectification or bliss for the heart unless its desire is solely for Allah, alone, Mighty and Majestic is He. Hence, He alone should be his desire, what he seeks out and his goal. As Allah, the Exalted, has said, “So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for Allah’s worship. And to your Lord turn your desires and intentions” (Qur’an 94:7-8). And He, the Exalted, has also said, “Would that they were contented with what Allah and His Messenger gave them and had said, ‘Allah is sufficient for us. Allah will give us of His Bounty, and so will His Messenger. We implore Allah’” (Qur’an 9:59).

    Those who desire are three types:



    • Those who desire ALLAH,
    • Those who desirethe pleasure of ALLAH, And those who desire other than ALLAH.




    So the lover is the one who desires Allah. The one who is concerned with works is the one who desires what Allah has. And the one who is satisfied with this life, in neglect to the Hereafter, is the one who desires other than Him. The person whose desire is for Allah alone, Allah with suffice him from every concern, take on all of his affairs, deflect from him what he is not capable himself to deflect, protect him like the protection of a father to his child and preserve him from all afflictions. And whoever prefers Allah to all others, Allah will prefer him to others. And whoever is for Allah, Allah will be for him where he is not even there for his own self. Whoever knows Allah, nothing will be more beloved to him than Him and no desire will remain in this type of person for anything other than Him, except that which will bring him closer to Him or assist him in his wayfaring to Him.

    From among the signs of experiential knowledge (ma’rifah) of Allah is veneration and awe (haybah). As the slave’s experiential knowledge of his Lord increases, so to does his veneration and awe increase. As Allah, the Exalted, has said, “It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah” (Qur’ân 35:28), meaning, those who are knowledgeable concerning Him. And the Prophet (Sallallahualayhiwasallam), said, “I am the most knowledgeable of you concerning Allah and I am the most intense in awe and reverence of Him” (Al-Bukhârî and Muslim).
    So whoever knows Allah (has ma’rifah) his livelihood will be pure, his life will be sweet, everything will revere him and all fear of created things will leave him. He will find intimacy with Allah and will have an aversion for (common) people. Knowledge of Allah (ma’rifah) will bequeath to him shyness in front of Allah, veneration and reverence of Him, vigilance (concerning His vision), love, trust in Him, turning to Him, pleasure in Him and submission to His ordinances.
    It was said to Junayd, may Allah have mercy upon him, “There are a group of people here that claim that they can attain righteousness by leaving all movement.” He responded, “Such ones have spoken of the removal of all action, and this is something very immense. The one who fornicates and steals is in a better state than the one who says that (as far as I am concerned). For verily, those who have experiential knowledge of Allah (the ‘ârifûn) have taken their actions from Allah and they have returned to Allah in them. If I were to live one thousand years I would not decrease in performing righteous works.” He also said, “One who knows Allah does not really know Allah until he becomes like the earth; the feet of the righteous and the unrighteous tread upon him. And (until he becomes) like the rain that waters what it likes and what it doesn’t like.”
    Yahyâ ibn Mu’âdh said, “The one who knows Allah leaves this world (at the time of death) and he has not had his fill of two things: crying over his self and yearning for his Lord.” Others have said, “One who knows Allah will not really know Allah until if he is given a dominion like the kingdom of Solomon it would not distract him from Allah for even the blink of an eye.” It has also been said, “The one who knows Allah has found intimacy with Allah and has an aversion for other than Him. He has realized his poverty in front of Allah, so Allah has enriched him from His creation. And he has humbled himself in front of Allah, so He has ennobled him amongst His creation.”
    AbûSalymân Ad-Dârânî said, “While (resting) in bed, the one who has experiential knowledge of Allah has openings that do not even come to the one who is standing in prayer!”
    Dhun-Nûn (Al-Misrî) said, “For everything there is a punishment. And the punishment of the one who knows Allah (the ‘ârif) is being cut off from the remembrance of Allah.”
    In summary, the life of the heart is with Allah and there is no life for it without that, ever. So when the heart is in agreement with the tongue in its dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and the heart is in agreement with what the Beloved wants from it; when he (the servant) belittles the many works and statements that he has made and regards even Allah’s subtle generosity and kindness as great; when he embraces obedience and leaves off disobedience, and has left all of it for the sake of his Beloved, so that nothing of it remains; when his heart has become full with reverence, awe, preference and pleasure in Him and his patience in yearning for Him has reached its last straw; when he cannot find repose except in His remembrance, desire for Him and yearning for the meeting with Him; when he cannot find (true) intimacy except in His dhikr, while maintaining His ordinances and preferring Him to others…Then this, this is the true lover (muhibb).
    Junayd said, “I heard Al-Hârith Al-Muhâsibî say: “Love (mahabbah) is your inclination to something with all of your being. Then, your preference to that thing over your own self, your soul and your possessions and wealth. Then, your being in accordance with that thing inwardly and outwardly, privately and publicly. Then, realizing your shortcomings with regards to your love of it.”
    It was said, “Love (mahabbah) is a fire that burns in the heart. It burns everything other than what the beloved wants from the lover.” It was also said, “Nay, it is exerting all efforts in pleasing the beloved. And that could never be so until one no longer sees the ‘love’ anymore, but only witnesses the beloved.” It is mentioned in some of the Hadith Qudsi, “My servant, I am, by your right, a lover of you. So, be you, by my right upon you, a lover of Me.”
    ‘Abdullah ibn Al-Mubarak said, “Whomsoever is given something of love and is not given its equivalent of awe and veneration (khashyah), then he is deceived.”
    Yahyâ ibn Mu’âdh said, “A muster seed’s amount of love is more beloved to me than seventy years of worship without love!”
    Abu Bakr Al-Kattânî said, “An issue concerning love (mahabbah) came up in Makkah during the days of the Pilgrimage. The sheikhs spoke on the matter. Junayd was present and he was the youngest amongst them. So they said to him, ‘Give us what you have O Iraqi!’ He lowered his head in humility and his eyes shed tears, and he spoke: ‘(How great is) a slave who has left himself, connected to the dhikr of his Rabb, upholding His rights, witnessing Him with his heart. The lights of His Essence have burned his heart and his drink is pure from the cup of His pure love. If such a one speaks, it is by Allah. If he utters, it is from Allah. If he moves, it is by the command of Allah. If he remains silent, he is with Allah. So he is by Allah, for Allah and with Allah.’ So the sheikhs cried and said, “There is nothing that can be added to this. May Allah rectify you, O Tâj Al-‘ârifîn (crown of those who know Allah)!”
    It was said that Allah revealed to Dawûd, peace be upon him, “O Dawûd, I have made it prohbited (harâm) for the hearts to contain the love of Me and the love of others at the same time.”
    Those who know Allah (the ‘ârifûn) have all agreed that love is not acceptable without compliance (with the Sacred Law), so much so that some of them said, “The reality of love is being in accordance with what beloved wants, concerning what pleases him and what makes him angry.” The People (of the Science of Purification; Al-Qawm) have also agreed that love is not acceptable without Tawhîd (belief in the Oneness of Allah).-----------
    “…for without a doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.” (Surah Al-Rad, 13:28)
