    My Islamic Knowledge blog posts (OP)


    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.

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!... Fear
    Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as you should, and know that verses 56 and 57 of surat adh-Dhariyat mean: [Allah has created jinn and mankind and ordered them to worship Him.]
    This verse confirms that the purpose to their existence is to worship Allah and obey Him as such. Therefore, it is their duty to fulfil this command and refrain from indulging in the luxuries of this world where life is only temporary and not a permanent one. Itliving in this world can be compared to a travelling vessel which takes one to the afterlife and is not a place complete with ultimate happiness and delight. For this reason, the wise and intelligent inhabitants of this earth are the one who worship Allah with the smartest contently doing so.
    In light of the truth about this worldly life and given that we understand the purpose of our life on earth it is advised that the accountable adheres to the authenticated path of our beloved Muhammad Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)
    in terms of morality and self discipline. Allah, The Exalted said:

    وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى الْبرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى
    [Collaborate with one another to achieve virtue and piety, and do not collaborate with one another in sin and transgression.]
    Also it has been confirmed that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: [Allah’s help will reach the slave as long as the slave a Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also said: [Whoever directs one to an act of goodness, shall receive a reward similar to the one who performs that act.]
    He also said to ^Aliyy may Allah raise his rank: [I swear by Allah that if you were to guide someone to Islam your reward shall exceed any pleasure that this world can offer.]
    Allah subhanahu wa ta^ala said in surat al-Ahzab, verse 35:
    وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللهُ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا
    This means: [And the male and female believers who frequently praise Allah (whether standing, sitting or even lying down) with their hearts or tongues shall receive a great deal of reward along with forgiveness from Allah.]
    For this very reason, we gathered for you today some of the popular adhkar (words of praise) our beloved Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to cite.
    It has been narrated through the route of Abu Hurayrah that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)
    used to say in the morning:
    اللهمَ بكَ أَصبَحْنا وبك أمسَيْنا وبك نحيا وبك نموت وإليك النشور
    This means: [O Allah it is Your Will that we wake in the morning and that we carry on to see the night, and it is Your Will that we shall live and whenever we die; to Your questioning we shall be resurrected.]
    And Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: [Any slave of Allah who says in the morning of every day and in the evening of every night:
    بسم الله الذي لا يضرُّ معَ اسمه شىءٌ في الأرض ولا في السماء وهو السميع العليم
    three times shall be safe from the reach of anything evil or harmful.]
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also said: [Whoever says in the morning and evening:
    رضِيت بالله ربًّا وبالإسلام دينًا وبمحمّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلّم نبيًّا
    Three times shall be admitted into Paradise. These words mean: “I have accepted, as I always will, that Allah is my Rabb, Islam is my religion and Muhammad is my Prophet”]. This hadith means that Allah will save from the torture of Hellfire the one who says these words of praise daily three times in the morning and similarly in the evening after Maghrib. This Promise from Allah is incomparably great for despite how easy it is for the tongue to say these words without much effort and in such a short time, a person is rewarded greatly simply for saying them.
    Brothers in Islam; Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stressed the importance of keeping quiet except in matters of goodness, he said: [those who believe in Allah and the Day of Judgment had better spoken of goodness, or otherwise remained quiet.]
    Therefore our dear brothers in Islam, we urge you to keep steadfast to reciting the related adhkar of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in the mornings and in the evenings. Keep listening and memorise the adhkar played on air on the Muslim Community Radio 92.1fm in the morning after Fajr and in the evening after Maghrib, and recite them daily within the time frame of when Fajr begins and until a time lapse of approximately three and a half hours. Do so again within the time frame of when Maghrib sets in and until three and a half hours.
    For Allah subhanahu wa ta^ala said in the Holy Qur’an:

    [Verily in praising Allah, the hearts find comfort.]And Allah knows best............ One of the greatest means of protecting and combating oneself against the evil effects of witchcraft ,evil eye/envy and jinn is to persist in regularly reciting the Adhkaar .They prevent against witchcraft ,evil eye/envy and jinn possession before it happens, protecting one against it and warding off its evil, and remedying it if it does happen.

    Those who have tried these supplications prayers for refuge on a regular basis morning and evening know their value and benefit and how a great need there is for them.

    أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلق

    Say in the morning and in the evening (thrice):

    A'udhu bi kalimat Allaah al-taammaat min sharri ma khalaq

    "I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created."

    أعوذ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّةِ مِن كُلِّ شَيطَانٍ وَهَامَّة ، وَمِن كُلِّ عَينٍ لَامَّة

    A'udhu bi kalimaat-Allaah il-taammah min kulli shaytaanin wa
    haammah wa min kulli 'aynin laammah

    I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and poisonous reptile, and from every envious evil eye. (thrice):

    أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من غضبه وعقابه، وشر عباده ومن همزات الشياطين
    وأن يحضرون

    ‘A`ūdhu Bikalimātil-Lāhit-Tāmmāti Min Ghađabihi Wa `Iqābih, Wa Sharri`Ibādihi Wa Min Hamazātish-Shayāţīni Wa ‘An Yaĥđurūn. (thrice):

    'I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger and punishment, and from the evil of His servants, and from the madness and appearance of devils.'

    بِسْمِ اللهِ الَّذِي لا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ العَلِيْمُ

    Bismillahi alladhi la yadurru ma' ismihi shai'un fil-ardi wa-laa fil-samaa'i wa huwa al-Samee'u al-'Aleem" (thrice):

O Allah, You are The First so there is nothing before You and You are The Last so there is nothing after You.

    You are Aththahir so there is nothing above You and You are Al-Batin

    I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast Allâh! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter .
    And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursî[] extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

    Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Rabb, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allâh, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say), “We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers” and they say, “We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Rabb, and to You is the return (of all).” (285) Allâh burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. “Our Rabb! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Rabb! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Rabb! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maulâ (Patron, Supporter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people.”

    Narrated Saad: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Whoever takes seven 'Ajwa dates in the morning will not be effected by magic or poison on that day."

    Sahih Muslim, Volume 7, Book 71, Number 671:

    Narrated Sa'd: The Prophet said, “If somebody takes some ‘Ajwa dates every morning, he will not be effected by poison or magic on that day till night.” (Another narrator said seven dates).
    (Sahih Bukhari)

    'Aisha reported Allah's Messenger as saying, "The 'ajwah dates of al-'Aliya taken as the first thing in the morning, in the state of fasting; contain healing for all (kinds of) magic or toxins." (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith 23592)
    And Allah knows best.

    The Fear of ALLAH and Hope of 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 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, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (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 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!........Fear of Allah makes us think twice before we sin. It is the quality of mindfulness and awareness of Allah that resides inside the heart of a believer. A believer lives his life being aware of two things: the first is his shortcomings, sins, and whether his good deeds are being wasted and self-satisfied. The second is hoping for the forgiveness of Allah The Almighty and His great mercy, which results from the first. Allah saysتَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
    “They arise from their beds and they supplicate their Rabb in fear and hope, and they spend from what We have provided them.” (Surah As-Sajda 32:16)
    Fear of Allah is the source of all knowledge as it motivates us to seek the truth and act by it. Indeed, the description of punishment in the Hereafter found in the Quran and Sunnah should increase our resolve to be righteous. The best provision is mindfulness of Allah, and the foundation of wisdom is the fear of Allah the Exalted. Allah says
    لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا
    “Certainly, is for you in
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) an excellent example for (one) who has hope (in) Allah and the Day the Last, and remembers Allah much.” (Surah Al-Ahzab 33:21)
    Hope in Allah motivates us to perform good deeds and to abandon our base materialistic desires for the sake of righteousness. Hope is dependent on one’s love for Allah. We must do everything and anything we can right now to put ourselves in a good state. Make the effort to do good deeds, right your wrongs with others, and fulfil your responsibilities to Allah.
    A believer must combine Fear and Hope with his Allah due to the following reasons:


    1. The fear of Allah is a vital bond between the future and the present
    2. The fear of being questioned about every little thing in life
    3. The fear of being distracted from Allah by other creation
    4. The fear of Allah voluntarily perform the love of ALLAH
    5. The fear of not being able to fulfil Allah’s obligations
    6. The fear of Allah is a steadfast anchor of the soul
    7. The fear of the fire, its chains, and its torment
    8. The fear of not living up to one’s repentance
    9. The fear of Allah is the soul of fasting
    10. The fear of not breaking one’s promise
    11. The fear of Allah leads to the greatest goal
    12. The fear of Allah is a complete trust in Allah
    13. The fear of Allah is the action of the Holy Spirit
    14. The fear of Allah is to save oneself from anything
    15. The fear of Allah originates from ALLAH through faith
    16. The fear of Allah is the basis of a moral life is based
    17. The fear of Allah find stability in our stormy present
    18. The fear of Allah is an active pursuit of Allah and Heaven
    19. The fear of Allah makes the heart shine in eternal blessedness
    20. The fear of Allah answers the strong burning desires for happiness

    Muslims are valuable entities bearing the Spirit of Allah. According to the Quran, it is improper for such people to exaggerate their mistakes and regard themselves as worthless because of them. It is Allah Who creates mistakes and causes people to commit them in destiny. Since Muslims have faith and trust in and rely on Allah, they always regard themselves as virtuous and valuable. They always have respect for themselves. Allah says:
    إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ غَفُورٌ
    “Only those who fear Allah among His servants are those with knowledge. Verily, Allah is Almighty and Forgiving.” (Surah Al-Fatir 35:28)
    A Muslim is never in despair, not even in the most difficult moments. That is because they believe that Allah is the Creator of all things. Everything turns positive for a Muslim with such a depth of soul. One of the important characteristics of a Muslim is that he remains in a positive state of mind. When one sins and then repents to Allah hoping for forgiveness. Allah says:
    وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ مِن بَعْدِ مَا قَنَطُوا وَيَنشُرُ رَحْمَتَهُ وَهُوَ الْوَلِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ
    “And He (is) the One Who sends down the rain after [what] they have despaired, and spreads His mercy. And He (is) the Protector, the Praiseworthy.” (Surah Ash-Shura 42:28)
    Allah is the believers’ Helper and Guardian. Allah teaches the souls of those believers who have a sincere and unsullied belief in Him throughout the life of this world to be worthy of Paradise. As for one who is constantly indulging in excesses and wrongdoings and is entertaining hopes of mercy from Allah Most High without doing good deeds, then this is a delusion, empty wishing, and false hope.
    Allah Almighty says in The Holy Quran:


    • “He is with you wherever you are, for Allah sees what you do.” (Al-Hadeed 57:4)
    • “Those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, but are pleased and satisfied with the life of the present, and those who heed not Our Signs.” (Surah Yunus, 7)
    • “O, my people! why ask ye to hasten on the evil in preference to the good? If only ye ask Allah for forgiveness, ye may hope to receive mercy.” (An-Naml, 46)
    • “On their account, no responsibility falls on the righteous, but (their duty) is to remind them, that they may (learn to) fear Allah.” (Al-Anam, 69)
    • “Allah had helped you at Badr when ye were a contemptible little force; then fear Allah. thus May ye show your gratitude.” ( Al-Imran, 123)
    • “Hold firmly to what We have given you and bring (ever) to remembrance what is therein: Perchance ye may fear Allah.” ( Al-Baqara, 63)

    Every day of our lives is filled with the moments in which we long for an anchor to whom we could rest our hopes. Each one of us faces many issues, be it related to our financial status, problems at work, family, or any other social or personal challenge. Our friends and the ones around us might try to soothe us, giving us some hope and helping us not to give up and stand aside. Allah says:
    إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَاءَنَا وَرَضُوا بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَاطْمَأَنُّوا بِهَا وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ آيَاتِنَا غَافِلُونَ
    “Indeed, those who (do) not expect the meeting with Us and are pleased with the life (of) the world, and feel satisfied with it and those – they (are) of Our Signs, heedless.” (Surah Yunus 10:7)
    As Muslims, having hope in Allah is our way of dealing with such moments. Sometimes you might hear words like “Never lose your faith in ALLAH” or “Allah helps the ones who help themselves” or even “ALLAH knows that you have tried.” These words may help you at that moment and move your emotions from distress to hope. Allah says:
    أَفَتَطْمَعُونَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا لَكُمْ وَقَدْ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلَامَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُحَرِّفُونَهُ مِن بَعْدِ مَا عَقَلُوهُ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
    “Do you hope that they will believe [for] you while indeed (there) has been a part of them, (who used to) hear (the) words (of) Allah, then they distort it from after [what] they understood it, while they know?” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:75)
    Much of Islam is about balance and moderation, that ever-so-famous middle road. To know Islam endorses this is a very comforting thought. It’s especially important to keep this aspect of the religion in mind when coming upon verses about fearing and keeping hope in Allah. Allah says:
    إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا ۖ وَكَانُوا لَنَا خَاشِعِينَ
    “Verily, they would hasten to good deeds and supplicate to Us in hope and fear, and they were humbly submissive to Us.” (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:90)
    However, we need to balance our fear of Allah with our hope in His reward and His Paradise. Let us remember that our hearts are just like a bird on a journey to Allah in the Hereafter. Our love of Allah is the basis of our worship, and our fear and hope are like two wings that propel us along the straight path toward our final destination. May Allah make us among those who spend their lives working to please Him............ Allah, the Exalted, says:
    "Say: O `Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: verily, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful". (39:53)
    "And never do We requit in such a way except those who are ungrateful (disbelievers)". (34:17)
    '(Say `Truly, it has been revealed to us that the torment will be for him who denies (believes not in the Oneness of Allah, and in His Messengers), and turns away (from the truth and obedience of Allah)". (20:48)
    "And My Mercy embraces all things". (7:156)
    412. `Ubadah bin As-Samit (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "He who bears witness that there is no true god except Allah, alone having no partner with Him, that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger, that `Isa (Jesus) is His slave and Messenger and he (Jesus) is His Word which He communicated to Maryam (Mary) and His spirit which He sent to her, that Jannah is true and Hell is true; Allah will make him enter Jannah accepting whatever deeds he accomplished".
    [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
    Another narration in Muslim is: the
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)said, "Whosoever testifies that there is no true god except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, Allah (SWT) saves him from the Fire (of Hell)".
    Commentary: This Hadith confirms that all Prophets of Allah were men and thus refutes those who attribute divinity to them and exclude them from the category of men or regard them a part of Allah, as Christians believes Prophet `Isa (Jesus to be Christ) by regarding him Allah or His son, or the Jews do Prophet `Uzair by venerating him as son of Allah. The misconception has also taken hold of a sect of the Muslims. They have invented the belief that
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is "Light from the Light of Allah". Thus further considering to be of him with Divine qualities. They exclude him from the category of men. This Hadith tells us that the belief that Prophets were men constitutes part of Faith and denial of it is the denial of a part of Faith and amounts to evasion from Tauhid - Oneness of Allah.
    Prophet `Isa (Jesus) has been referred in the Qur'an as "Kalimatullah" (the Word of Allah) (4:171). What these words really mean is that he was born in an unusual manner, without being fathered by anyone, only on the express fiat of Allah.
    This Hadith shows that a major sin does not cast a Muslim out of the fold of Islam, as is believed by certain deviant sects who have gone astray. Such a person does remain a Muslim and his eligibility for admission into Jannah also remains intact but his admission entirely depends on the pleasure of Allah. He may forgive a sinful Muslim and send him to Jannah even in the initial stage or keep him in Hell for sometime and then send him to Jannah. Thus, when it is said that Muslims are protected against Hell, it means that they will not abide in Hell for ever. It will be a temporary phase varying with his sins. When that punishment comes to an end, or even before it, when Almighty, Allah, wills, he will be removed from Hell to Jannah.
    413. Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH)
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Allah, the Almighty, says: `Whosoever does a good deed, will have (reward) ten times like it and I add more; and whosoever does an evil, will have the punishment like it or I will forgive (him); and whosoever approaches Me by one span, I will approach him by one cubit; and whosoever approaches Me by one cubit, I approach him by one fathom, and whosoever comes to Me walking, I go to him running; and whosoever meets Me with an earth-load of sins without associating anything with Me, I meet him with forgiveness like that".
    [Muslim]
    Commentary: This Hadith mentions the infinite Compassion and Mercy of Allih to His obedient slaves and a special expression of which will be made by Him on the Day of Resurrection. On that Day, He will give at least ten times reward for each good deed. In some cases it may be far more than that, seven hundred times or more, as He would like. Such benevolence on His part warrants that a Muslim should never lose hope of His forgiveness.
    414. Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A bedouin came to the Prophet (PBUH) and asked him, "O Messenger of Allah, what are the two imperatives which lead to Jannah or Hell". He (PBUH) replied, "He who dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Jannah, and he who dies associating partners with Allah will enter the Fire".
    [Muslim]
    Commentary: This Hadith also holds promise for a Muslim that being a Muslim and Muwahhid (believer in the Oneness of Allah) he will be at last sent to Jannah. Whether he goes straight to Jannah or after suffering the punishment of his sins in Hell, is a separate issue, but he will not remain in Hell for ever. Eternal punishment in Hell is reserved only for pagans, polytheists, and infidels.
    415. Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Mu`adh bin Jabal was riding on the beast with the Prophet (PBUH), when he (PBUH) said to him, "O Mu`adh!'' Mu`adh replied, "Here I am responding to you, and at your pleasure, O Messenger of Allah.'' He (PBUH) again called out, "O Mu`adh.'' He (again) replied, "Here I am responding your call, and at your pleasure.'' He (Messenger of Allah) addressed him (again), "O Mu`adh!'' He replied, "Here I am responding to you, and at your pleasure, O Messenger of Allah.'' Upon this he (the Prophet (PBUH)) said, "If anyone testifies sincerely that there is no true god except Allah, and Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, truly from his heart, Allah will safeguard him from Hell.'' He (Mu`adh) said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not then inform people of it, so that they may have glad tidings.'' He (PBUH) replied, "Then they will rely on it alone (and thus give up good works altogether).'' Mu`adh (May Allah be pleased with him) disclosed this Hadith at the time of his death, to avoid sinning for concealing.
    [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
    Commentary: Imam At-Taibi says that the honesty of heart means firmness of faith and arrangement of actions which will provide evidence of Tauhid and Risalah (Oneness of Allah and the Prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH)). Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar states that Imam At-Taibi has made this elaboration to remove the ambiguity which arises from the wording of the Hadith because it is generally held by Ahadith that one who bears witness to Tauhid and Risalah will not go to Hell, while Ahlus-Sunnah hold that it stands proved by concrete arguments that sinful Muslims will be consigned to Hell and then brought out from it by intercession. It shows that for the determination of real meanings of this Hadith we shall have to keep in view other related arguments as well. These meanings are riveted with good deeds. In other words, one who bears witness to Tauhid and Risalah and fulfills Islamic injunctions and obligations and requirements of Faith and fear of Allah, will not be consigned to Hell. Some scholars are of the opinion that this Hadith refers to such people who truly repented and renounced Kufr and Shirk and wholeheartedly professed Tauhid and Risalah but died soon after that and thus did not get an opportunity to do good deeds. Such people will certainly go to Jannah.
    This Hadith leads to the conclusion that ordinary people should not be told things the true meanings of which they find difficult to grasp and accomplish evil deeds relying on such glad tidings.
    416. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) or may be Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: On the day of the battle of Tabuk, the Muslims were hard pressed by hunger and they asked Messenger of Allah (PBUH): "O Messenger of Allah, grant us permission to slaughter our camels to eat and use their fat". He (PBUH) accorded permission. On this `Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) came and said: "O Messenger of Allah, if it is done, we shall suffer from lack of transportation. I suggest you pool together whatever has been left and supplicate Allah to bless it.'' Allah will bestow His Blessing upon it. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) agreed and called for leather mat and had it spread out, and asked people to bring the provisions left over. They started doing it. One brought a handful of corn, another brought a handful of dates, a third brought a piece of bread; thus some provisions were collected on the mat. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) invoked blessings, and then said,"Now take it up in your vessels". Everyone filled his vessel with food, so that there was not left a single empty vessel in the whole camp. All of them ate to their fill and there was still some left over. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Any slave who meets Allah, testifying there is no true god except Allah, and that I am His Messenger, without entertaining any doubt about these (two fundamentals), will not be banished from entering Jannah.''
    [Muslim].
    Commentary: This Hadith mentions a miracle of the Prophet (PBUH) and the effect of his prayer by means of which a small quantity of food sufficed the whole army. The exact number of Muslims who took part in the battle of Tabuk is not mentioned in any reliable account. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar has stated, with reference to some narratives of Fath Al-Bari mentioned in connection with the biography of the Prophet (PBUH) and the wars he had fought in the way of Allah, that they numbered thirty to forty thousand men.
    Although these figures are open to question but one can safely infer from these figures that their number was very large. According to Sahih Al-Bukhari: "A large number of Muslims participated with the Prophet (PBUH) in this war. Their number was so large that they could not be described in a register. It was difficult for the Prophet (PBUH) to discover who was absent except that he was informed about him by Allah.'' (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Kitab Al-Maghazi, Bab Ghazwah Tabuk, Hadith Ka`b bin Malik). This extract goes to prove that although the number of Muslims who took part in this war was very large the provisions weighing a few seers only sufficed for them all.
    We also learn from this Hadith that one who is blessed with the Grace of Allah, can offer advice to a person who is superior to him on this account. Similarly, the one who is superior in virtue should listen to the advice of those who are inferior to him because there is every possibility that their advice may offer something better. It does not harm either of them. Neither does it detract from the superiority of the superior nor can it be regarded an affront of a junior.
    417. `Itban bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported, who was with Messenger of Allah (PBUH) in the battle of Badr: I used to lead my people at Bani Salim in Salat (prayer) and there was a valley between me and those people. Whenever it rained, it became difficult for me to cross it for going to their mosque. So I went to Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and said, "I have weak eyesight and the valley between me and my people flows during the rainy season and it becomes difficult for me to cross it. I wish you to come to my house and offer Salat at a place so that I could reserve that as a Musalla (place for prayer).'' Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "I will do so". So Messenger of Allah (PBUH)Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) came to my house the (next) morning after the sun had risen high. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) asked my permission to enter and I admitted him. He did not sit before saying, "Where do you want us to offer Salat in your house?'' I pointed to the place where I wanted him to offer prayers. So Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) stood up for the prayer and started the prayer with Takbir and we aligned in rows behind him; and he offered two Rak`ah prayer and finished them with Taslim, and we also performed Taslim with him. I detained him for a meal called Khazirah which I had prepared for him. (Khazirah is a special type of dish prepared from barley flour and meat soup). When the neighbours got the news that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was in my house, they started coming till a large number of men gathered in my house. One of them said, "What is wrong with Malik, for I do not see him?'' One of them replied, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Messenger". On that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Don't say this. Haven't you seen that he testified that there is no true god except Allah,' for Allah's sake only.'' The man replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better, but by Allah, we never saw him but helping and talking with the hypocrites.'' Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) replied, "No doubt, whosoever testifies that there is no true god except Allah, seeking by so professing the pleasure of Allah only, Allah will safeguard him against (Hell) Fire.''
    [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
    Commentary: This Hadith highlights the following four points:
    1. One can offer Salat at home if one has a lawful reason for it.
    2. In the event one is obliged to offer Salat at home it is well to reserve a place for it.
    3. It is not permissible to suspect a Muslim on the basis of mere doubt.
    4. In the end, every Muslim will be sent to Jannah. This point has already been elaborated.
    418. `Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Some prisoners were brought to
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) amongst whom there was a woman who was running (searching for her child). When she saw a child among the captives, she took hold of it, pressed it against her belly and gave it a suck. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Do you think this woman would ever throw her child in fire?'' We said, "By Allah, she would never throw the child in fire.'' Thereupon Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Allah is more kind to his slave than this woman is to her child".
    [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

    The story of Malik bin Dinar, how he came to repent

    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, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (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 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!......... Malik bin Dinar narrates his story in the following way: “I was a policeman and very fond of drinking. I led a care-free life. I bought a beautiful slave girl whom I loved dearly. I had a daughter from her, a lovely child. When my daughter began to walk, I loved her all the more and she remained with me all the time. The innocent child had a strange habit. When she saw a glass of wine in my hands, she would snatch it and spill it on my clothes. Being fond of her, I never scolded her. As fate would have it, my child died when she was two years old and I was shocked and sorely grieved.“One the night of 15th of Shaaban, I was drunk and went to sleep without performing Isha prayers. I had a horrible dream. I saw myself among those bring driven to the assembly of people on the Day of Resurrection. I heard a noise and felt something following me. When I looked back, I saw a huge snake chasing me. Ah! It was a horrible sight; the snake had blue catlike eyes, its mouth was wide open and it was rushing toward me furiously! I ran faster in terror, desperate for my life, the horrible snake still running after me and drawing closer.
    “I saw an old man, dressed in elegant clothes with rich perfumes wafting all around his person, I greeted him saying, “Assallam-o-Alaikum” and he returned my greetings. I said, “For the sake of Allah, help me in my misery”. He said “I am too weak to help you against such a mighty foe; it is beyond my powers. But you must go on running; perhaps you may find some help”. Running wildly I saw a cliff in front of me and climbed it, but on reaching its top, I saw, beyond it, the raging fire of hell. Meanwhile, I heard a voice calling aloud, “Get back, for, you are not one of them (the dwellers of hell).
    “I turned and began to run in the opposite direction. The snake also turned around and came after me. I saw again the old man in white robes and said, “Old man, can’t you save me from this python.” The man began to cry and said, “I am too weak to help you against such a mighty snake, but I can tell you that there is a hill nearby where they keep the ‘sacred trusts’ of the Muslims. If you go up that hill, you might find something of yours, kept in trust, which might save you from the snake.” I rushed toward the hill, which was round in shape, with a large number of open curtailed casements. The casements had golden shutters studded with rich rubies, and most precious jewels; on each shutter hung a curtain made of the rarest silk.
    “When I was going to climb the hill, the angels called aloud, “Open the windows and raise the curtains and come out of your closets! Here is an unfortunate man in misery; may be you have with you some ‘trust’ of his, that might help him in his distress.” The windows opened at once, the curtains went up, and there issued forth from the casements a host of innocent children, with faces bright as the full moon. By this time I was utterly despondent, for the snake had drawn very close to me. Now the children called their friends, “Come out quickly, all of you, for the snake has come very close to him.”
    Hearing this, more children came out of their windows, in large crowds, and among them I saw my own dear daughter who had died some time ago. She also espied me and began to weep, exclaiming, “By Allah! He is my own dear father.” She jumped on a swinging cradle, which seemed to be made from heavenly light (Noor) and darted across to me. Next moment, she was standing by my side and I took her to my bosom; she lifted her left hand towards me and with her right hand motioned the snake away.
    The snake went away immediately. Then she gave me a seat and sat in my lap and began to stroke my beard with her right hand saying, “My dear father, ‘Has not the time come for the believers (who indulge in sins) that their hearts should submit in all humility to the remembrance of Allah and to the truth which is revealed’ (Al-Hadeed:16)”. I was moved to tears and asked her, “My daughter, do all of you know the meanings of the Qur’an? She replied “We understand the Holy Quran even better than you.”
    I asked her “My dear child, what was this snake?” She said “It was your own evil deeds which had made it so strong that it was about to push you into Jahannam”. I asked “And who was that white-robed old man?” She replied “That were your good deeds and you had made them so weak with your scanty good deeds that he could not help you against the snake (though he suggested to you a means of escape.)”
    I asked “What are all of you doing on this hill?” She replied “We are children of Muslims, who died in infancy. We shall live here till the Day of Resurrection, waiting to be reunited with you when you come to us at last and we shall intercede for you with our Rabb”. And then I awoke from the dream, with the fright (of the snake) still heavy on my heart. I turned to Allah in repentance, as soon as I arose; and abandoned all my evil ways.

We as Muslim people should know with certainty that all things depend on ALLAH alone: We must put our trust in Him as the Guardian evolver, cherisher and sustainer of all things. And that ALLAH would never abandon the believers and that the final victory would be our soon!............................................. .............{Surah 93.} The Morning Hours, Morning Bright!
    In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
    ٰ1.By the Glorious Morning Light,
    2.And by the Night when it is still,-
    3.Thy Guardian-Rabb hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
    4.And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present. 5.And soon will thy Guardian-Rabb give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased. 6.Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)? 7.And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
    8.And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
    9.Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
    10.Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
    11.But the bounty of the Rabb - rehearse and proclaim!

Nothing has changed in 700 years, and Nothing has changed today! The enemies of ALLAH! The enemies of Islam are still the same as they were a 1000 years ago and they always put themselves in a strategic position of Power and authority Over the Muslim people! Over the Muslim Ummah! Or They put themselves in a position to Influence power and authority that is over the Muslim Ummah in trying to deceive the Muslim people and change the direction of
    Islam, and to divide the Muslim world and keep it divided! They are working to keep us divided along the racial, ethnic, cultural and geographic lines. They speak the Arabic language and many other languages, but they are not Arab! They are Jews, Christians, Masons and atheist, they use the Arabic language as a tool of deception! - Now the Muslim world is sharply divided on Quran's influence on governmental laws, If the Muslim world do not want The QuranicLaw(The Sharia) or The Quran to be an influence over their Laws! Then why are they calling themselves Muslim? That how colonialism got started in the Muslim World, When Muslim governments turn away from the guidance of the Quran and the Sunnah of Rasulallah(Sallallahualayhiwasalam).There must be an accountability!--------The way to success and peace in your own Islamic society or in a Muslim government is by taking Holy Quran and the Sunnah of Rasulullah(Sallallahualayhiwasallam) and making it, the leader in the government and the society, by enforcing its laws and standing by its commands,-The Holy Quran and the Sunnah of Rasulullah(Sallallahualayhiwasallam)will unite the Hearts of the Muslim people! The Quran is the only light (Noor) in this dark world! The Quran is the Words of ALLAH! Who created all that Exist! {Surah 13:31} ALLAH said in The Quran:31. If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But, truly, the command is with Allah in all things! Do not the Believers know, that, had Allah (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the right)? --There must be an accountability! -----O ALLAH these oppressive kaffara secret organizations today! Are the same ones who are responsible for the deaths of Many Muslims people in America and throughout the World! These are the planner and organizer of many- terrorists acts in America and in The World, and all so they are responsible for many revolutions throughout the Muslim World and the world in general! O Muslim people! O people of the World! The era, the time that we are living in today is one in which we are distracted by this new technology
    and trials of materialism have grown various doubts in the forms of deviance thought have arisen, many people have allowed their Minds and Hearts to go astray and they see the wrong things they do to be good and correct, there are those who have instigated disasters, battles and wars, But they plan, and ALLAH plans, And ALLAH is the best of planners! (It is onlyALLAH who prevails over all things!) And now they are bold enough to threaten the world with Nuclear war, The War to end all wars, Nuclear destruction! (An intolerable threat to humanity) Large-scale apocalyptic events like these, caused by advanced technology used for destruction,would render The Earth's surface uninhabitable. And great volumes of blood has already been shaded for no other reason than greed and power! O people of World! In every country on this Earth rise up and put these world Leaders in check before it too late! These World Leaders have No fear of ALLAH! People have lost limbs and innocent lives have been taken.There must be an accountability! It was mentioned 1400 years ago, in the hadiths of Rasulullah(Sallallahualayhiwasalam) that people around the world would be killed just for practicing their faith. And these Killers today! Their claim is that they are fighting terrorism! Yet they are committing the same Monstrous, Ugly and Horrible war crimes as the terrorist are doing! There must be an accountability!---(Quran)-Surah Al-Takwir(Surah 81: 8/15) BismillahIr-Rahman,Ir-Raheem.
    [81:8] And when people are brought together,
    [81:9] And when the(Infant) girl-child buried alive is questioned about,
    [81:10] ‘For what crime was she killed?’
    [81:11] And when books are spread abroad.
    [81:12] And when the heaven is laid bare,
    [81:13] And when the Fire is caused to blaze up,
    [81:14] And when the Garden is brought nigh,
    [81:15] Then every soul will know what it has brought forward.
    -----------What about the Palestinians Muslim people! And what did they do wrong? When their land has been taken away from them. And in 80 years, Millions of Palestinian Muslim people Men, Women and children were and are still being killed and driven out of their Homeland. Now they are labeled as Terrorist because they are fighting a people who have taken their land from them and are killing and oppressing their people! And now they are in one of the biggest open prison in the World without any human rights! -There must be an accountability!-O ALLAH! Punish and Destroy the Israeli Government in its entirety and all of its forces and all of its agents and all of its informants in any way that You choose! O ALLAH! They are responsible for the oppression and deaths of Millions Palestinian Muslim people in Palestine and around the World! DUA IS THE WEAPON OF THE BELIEVERS! There must be an accountability!(Surah58:6/7) (6) On the Day that Allah will raise them all up (again) and show them the Truth (and meaning) of their conduct. Allah has reckoned its (value), though they may have forgotten it, for Allah is Witness to all things. (7) Seestthou not that Allah doth know (all) that is in the heavens and on earth? There is not a secret consultation between three, but He makes the fourth among them, - Nor between five but He makes the sixth,- nor between fewer nor more, but He is in their midst, where so ever they be: In the end will He tell them the truth of their conduct, on the Day of Judgment. For Allah has full knowledge of all things.----We the Muslim people depend on the Power of ALLAH! And all oppression will come to an end, and all oppressors will be destroyed in time (inshallah)!Sowe continue to ask the questions? What did those 100,000's and 100,000's of Muslim people, Men, Women and children in Burma do wrong? What crime did they commit? Why are they being killed? They are victims of oppression! -There must be an accountability! These 100,000 and 100,000 of people were the subject of almost unimaginable atrocities, including torture and rape. There must be an accountability!- And What did those 100,000's of children do wrong that was killed in Iraq. What crime did they commit? Why were they killed? There must be an accountability! What crime did those 100,000's of children commit? Who were killed inafghanistan. What did they do wrong? There must be an accountability! --What crime did those 100,000's children that are being killed every day in Syria, what crime did they commit or what did they do wrong? And Why are they being Killed and Driven from their homeland? There must be an accountability!- ALLAH will also questions these Men, Women and children! In the same way as He question the female child buried alive, for what crime were they killed? And Why they werekillin such a large number and Driven from their homeland?--There must be an accountability!-- In this world of Sin, disobedience, injustice, sorrow and ignorance, much unjust suffering is caused and innocent lives are taken, without a trace being left, by which the criminals can be brought to justice. These war crimes was committed in guise of social plausibility specious- (having an appearance of truth or reason, but in reality these were nothing but war crimes against humanity and nothing but deception!)While the World looks the other way! And No questions were asked about anything that happened! But in the World of Justice in this life and the Next, the full questions will be asked and a full clear account will be given and the victims themselves will be able to give the evidence, because they had committed No crime themselves. The proofs and evidence will be drawn from the means used to cover it up, overlook and ignoring this evil, These war crimes. On that day the scrolls recording the deeds of men, good and bad will then be laid open before all. (Surah 18:49). And the Book (of Deeds) will be placed (before you); and thou wilt see the sinful in great terror because of what is (recorded) therein; they will say, "Ah! woe to us! what a Book is this! It leaves out nothing small or great, but takes account thereof " They will find all that they did, placed before them: And not one will thy Rabb treat with injustice. And There will be an accountability!- In the present phenomenal world, things may be concealed, hidden, but in the world of absolute reality every secret is opened out, good or bad. The whole truth of actions, omissions, motives, imponderable spiritual hurt, neglect, or help will be laid bare. And the full clear account will be given. There will be an accountability!- He (ALLAH) will punish the killers! Hence, they will be punished with a sort of torment comparable to their deeds, their crimes. There will be an accountability!-- Since they enjoyed themselves and were too arrogant to follow the truth, and too arrogant to believe in ALLAH! ALLAH will punish them with the torment of humiliation for their crimes in this world life and the next, which is the utmost of humiliation, disgrace, excruciating pain, perpetual sorrows and a everlasting regrets, And also the dwellings in the terribly horrifying depths of Hell; There will be no escape from the justice of ALLAH! His inescapable justice!
    -----These people are working for many secret agencies from around the world and in America! They go in and stir things up, cause trouble, disturb the balance ofthings. Then governments become destabilized and revolutions started and 100,000's of people are killed for no other reason than greed and power! There will be an accountability! Some of these enemies of Islam have been hiding among the Muslims people in America for over 20,30 or 40 years! They do their dirt outside of America and in America then run back to their hiding places ---Why is it that the international police are not looking in these America big cities like Houston, Tx. for these international criminals? They are not looking because the international police, The F.B.I and these international criminals are ONE! All most 90% of the F.B.I Foreign informants are international criminals! As long as these people are bringing disgrace on ISLAM and Hardship to the believing Muslim people, the people in authority in this world and in America don't care who these criminals are or what they do! -- And these Jews, Christians, Masons and atheists study our way of life, The Islamic way of life! And in order for them to study our way of life, they have to blend in to fit unnoticed into the Muslim (Islamic) surroundings, and they have to become a part of our way of life unnoticed, They learn more about Islam and the Holy Quran than the average Muslim So they can deceive, corrupt and lie to us! They would not believe, because they of their own free will and choice refuse to believed! They refuse to have faith! (The Holy Quran){6:124/125/126} Says-Soon will the wicked be overtaken by humiliation before ALLAH and a severe punishment for all their plots. Those whom ALLAH (in His Plan) willed to guide He opened their breast to Islam; those whom He willed to leave straying He makes their breast close and constricted as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth ALLAH (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe. This is the way of thy Rabb leading straight: We have detailed the Signs for those who receive admonition. ---------------------------In a time where the good people will appear to be bad and the bad people will appear to be good! We have to remember that ALLAH has never failed His servants, all of whom have passed through frightening situation in the past. -----When You Need To Have Thousands Of Protesters Just To Tell The World That Bombing Children Is Not Right, Is Not OK. That Is When You Know HUMANITY Has Failed!!! "An Apple fell to the ground and Newton discovered gravity. Thousands of Palestinians fall and still no one has discovered Humanity"
    But they plan, and ALLAH plans, And ALLAH is the best of planners!..... O You who believe, – Be aware of Allah, and speak a straightforward word. He will forgive your sins and repair your deeds. And whoever takes Allah and His Prophet as a guide, has already achieved a mighty victory.
    In the opening verse of Sura An-Nisaa’, Allah says: “O mankind! Show reverence towards your Guardian-Rabb Who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, his mate and from the two of them scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;― Be conscious of Allah, through Whom ye demand your mutual (rights) and (show reverence towards) the wombs (that bore you): for surely, Allah ever watches over you.”

    Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi wa salam)restore the Dignity of humanity (Part-3)

    Rasulallah(sallallahualaihiwasalam)restore the Dignity of humanity.................................... "Bismillah Ir Rahman Nir Raheem.
    I testify that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah And I testify that Muhammad (allallaho-Alaihe-Wa-Sallam) is his beloved servant and Messenger.......BismillahIr-Rahman,Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH'sauspiciousness,whoseName is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An LaaillaahaillallahuWa Ash HaduAnna Muhammadan Abdu HuWaRasooluhu. ''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,Youare Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah,Showeryour blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly,Youare Praiseworthy and Glorious". I am Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) My way of lift and I am satisfied with Muhammad as Rasulallah(Messenger) sallallahu alaihi wa 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 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 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!......... It is essential to present the excellence example of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) to the People of the World, and to the Muslim people of this World, of this generation, with Love, Respect and Reverence for His lofty character and habits. It is necessary that the morals excellent character of Rasulullah (sallallahualayhiwasallam) become well known in our lives and in this world again, His Love for ALLAH and humanity as well, so that our Love for ALLAH and the our love for Rasulullah (sallallahualayhiwasallam) becomes dominant in our hearts and lives with an eagerness to follow His holy character, Nabi-e-Kareem (sallallahualayhiwasallam)! And with His excellence example and the Beauty of His character has become an inspiration to the hearts of People all over the world, the Muslims people and the non-muslims for all times. When the Earth was bless with Islam (that is the Final Religion,the Final Din),That was the time when ALLAH sent two Mercies to ALL the Worlds, The first was Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahualaihi was salam) The Second was, The Holy Quran, The Holy Quran is The Nur(the light)of inspiration, and the Nur (The Light) of this World And Rasulallah (sallallaahualayhiwasallam)is the Living inspiration, the Living Example of the Quran, When He(sallallahualaihi was salam)was walking on this Earth among men, the hearts of men melted, When they hear the words of the Holy Quran. His life was the Light That inspired the Hearts of the Sahabah and Men from around the World. And today that inspirational example of excellence, lived on in the Lives of Billions of Muslims around the World. In this later time that we are living in, we Muslims People donot have the Physical present of Rasulallah(sallallahualaihi was salam)as a comford and a physical inspiration,but He(sallallahualaihi was salam)and His Sahabah are still our Heroes, our real life Heroes, And we Muslims people today are in need of such Heroes, that will light the Torch of truth that will burn in the Hearts of Men once again. The Light(Nur) of Islam, the Light(Nur)of Din has not gone out, It still burn very bright in and on the Pages of the Holy Quran, but the hearts of the people of the Muslims are so Dark, that the Nur(Light)of the Quran has very littie effect, So the Din(Islam) has become like a Hot coal, this is the time of Patience and good works. It is said by some scholars that Rasulallah(sallallahualaihi was salam)came to this world to up lift the Dignity of humanity, To restore the Dignity of mankind, and now the dignity of humanity is restore for all times, and For those who accept Islam as their way of life, their honor and dignity has increases in this world and in the hereafter. They the scholars also say a sign of that restoration was when Rasulallah(sallallahualaihi was salam)with His own hands picked up the Black stone and placed it in the wall of the Kabba. He (sallallahualaihi was salam) set the dignity of humanity back in to it proper place, They the scholars said that the black stone represent the Fallen dignity of the mankind, that had fallen from it high position in the world, That had fallen in to disgrace in the Sight of ALLAH, through Ignorant and idolatry.ALLAH has dignified and Honor the Human being from the very beginning with the creation of the first (Man)Adam(alaihisalam). When ALLAH said, In The Holy Quran:surah Al-Baqara: 30. Behold, thy Rabb said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not." 31. And He taught Adam the nature of all things; then He placed them before the angels, and said: "Tell me the nature of these if ye are right."
    32. They said: "Glory to Thee, of knowledge We have none, save what Thou Hast taught us: In truth it is Thou Who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom."
    33. He said: "O Adam! Tell them their natures." When he had told them, Allah said: "Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of heaven and earth, and I know what ye reveal and what ye conceal?"
    34. And behold, We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam" and they bowed down.
    Surah:Al-Hijr.
    28. Behold! thy Rabb said to the angels: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud molded into shape;
    29. "When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."
    30. So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together: and with His excellence example and the Beauty of His character has become an inspiration to the hearts of Believers for all times. So Some aayaat and ahadith is mentioned in this regard. 1. Allah Ta’ala says:
    “Verily, you (Muhammad) are on a lofty character.” (Surah Noon)
    2. Allah Ta’ala says:
    “The Nabi is inconvenienced by this act (but he does not make this known); he takes you into consideration (by his silence). But Allah speaks plainly and cares not (for anyone).”
    (Surah Ahzaab)
    This is a reference to a particular incident. Some Companions stayed longer than what was proper on this occasion at the home of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) who was anxious to retire for the night. They continued in conversation. Although Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was inconvenienced by their late stay, he nevertheless, refrained from asking them to leave, not wishing to hurt their feelings. This reticence of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was in regard to his personal matters and not to such affairs which came within the purview of Tableegh.
    3. Hadhrat Anas (radiallahuanhu) narrates: “I served Rasulullah (sallallahualayhiwasallam) for ten years, but never did he speak a word of rebuke to me; he never said to me: ‘Why did you do this and why did you not do that? (Bukhari, Muslim)
    (Some of the Sahabah adiallahumanhu narrates)“Rasulullah (sallallahualayhiwasallam) was the kindest in disposition. One of the Sahabahs said Once Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhiwasallam) asked me to do something, but I refused while in my heart I intended to go where ordered I then went on the errand. I passed some children playing in the market-place and I joined them. Suddenly Rasulullah (sallallahualayhiwasallam) arrived there and laughing he took hold of my neck and said: ‘Are you going? I said yes, I am going now.”(Muslim)
    4. (Some of the Sahabah radiallahumanhunarrates)““I was walking with Rasulullah (sallallahualayhiwasallam). He had on him a heavy shawl made in Najran. Along the way a Bedouin came. The Beduion grabbed hold of the Shawl and pulled it with such force that Rasulullah (sallallahualayhiwasallam) was pulled forward close to the breast of the Beduion who said:‘O Muhammad! Order that I too be given from the wealth of Allah, which is with you.”
    Rasulullah (sallallahualayhiwasallam) smiled and ordered that he be granted a gift. (Bukhari, Muslim)
    5. Hadhrat Jabbir (radiallahu anhu) said that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) never refused to give anything which he was asked. If he had it, he would give it. If he did not have it, he would present an apology and make a promise to give it at another time.(Bukhari, Muslim)
    7. Hadhrat Anas (radiallahu anhu) narrates that once a man asked Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) for some goats which belonged to him (Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The goats were grazing in a valley. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) presented all the goats to the person who had asked for them. This man when he returned to his people, said: “O my people! Become Muslims. By Allah! Muhammad gives much.”(Muslim)
    8. Jubair Bin Mut’im said that once he was walking with Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) on the occasion of his return from Hunain. A group of Beduoins surrounded Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and were asking for gifts. They grabbed from Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) everything which he had until finally they snatched even the shawl from his body. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “At least return my shawl … If I had camels as numerous as the trees, I would have distributed them among you; you would then not have found me to be miserly and small of heart.” (Bukhari)
    9. Hadhrat Anas (radiallahu anhu) narrates that after Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) would complete Fajr Salaat, the servants of the people of Madinah would bring containers of water. Whoever presented a container, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) would immerse his holy hand in the water. This was done for the sake of barkat. Sometimes the mornings were extremely cold, nevertheless, he immersed his hand in the water.(Muslim)
    10. Hadhrat Anas (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was not harsh in disposition nor was he one who cursed. If someone had to be reprimanded he would (at most) exclaim: ‘What is the matter with him’ May dust settle on his forehead.’
    This statement, viz., ‘May dust settle on his forehead. Is not a curse. Even during Salaat, dust settles on the forehead when in Sajdah by the head touching the earth. In a way, this was a dua for the betterement of the person. It implied that the errant attain rectitude by performance of Salaat, for Salaat prevents from evil and shameless deeds. This is one of the peculiarities of Salaat. This hadith is recorded in Bukhari Shareef.
    11. Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khudri (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was more modest that a young Purdah-Nasheen girl (a girl who remains in seluion). Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khurdi says:
    “When he (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) saw something detestable, we would realize it from the effect on his auspicious face.”(Bukhari, Muslim)
    He would not generally mention it due to excessive modesty.
    12. Hadhrat Aswad (radiallahu anhu) narrates that he asked Hadhrat Aishah (radiallahu anhu): “What did Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) do at home?”
    She replied: “He would assist his wives in their housework”. (Bukhari)
    Some examples of the type of housework done by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) are mentioned in the following hadith.
    13. Hadhrat Aishah (radiallallahu anhu) narrates:“Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) would mend his shoes, sew his clothing, and do the work of the house as ordinary people among you do.”She also narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not act like a master at home. He would milk the goats himself.(Tirmizi)
    14. Hadhrat Aishah (radiallahu anhu)narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) never killed anything with his own hands nor did he beat any servant. Yes, Jihaad in the Path of Allah, was an exception. He never hit anyone in anger nor inconvenienced anyone unnecessarily or in revenge. However, when the prohibitions of Allah were violated, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) took appropriate action for the sake of Allah Ta’ala.(Muslim)
    15. Hadhrat Anas (radiallahu anhu) narrates: “I was eight years old when I joined the service of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). I remained in his service for ten years. Whenever I damaged anything with my hands, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not scold me. Even if someone from the family of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) scolded me, he would prevent them, any say: “If anything else was decreed, it would have happened.” (Masaabeeh and Baihaqi)
    16. hadhrat Anas (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) visited the sick and participated in the funeral (janaazah) service.
    (Ibn Majah, Baihaqi)
    17. Hadhrat Anas (radiallahu anhu) narrates that when making musafahah (shaking hands) with someone, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) would not withdraw his hand before that person withdrew his hand; nor would he turn away his face until the other person did not turn away his face. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was never seen stretching his legs towards others.
    (Tirmizi)
    18. In the Kitaab, Shamaail Tirmizi are two lengthy narrations from which some sentences will be quoted here. Hadhrat Hasan and Hadhrat Husain (radiallahu anhuma) narrate on the authority of their father, Hadhrat Ali (radiallallhu anhu):
    “At home Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) divided his time into three periods. In one period he remained engrossed in the ibaadat of Allah Azza Wa Jal. In the other period he engaged himself in fulfilling the rights of his family. One period he reserved for himself. His special period was then further divided between others and himself. The benefits and barkat of this special period were spread among the people at large through the medium of the special companions of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). In this special period, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) granted certain distinguished Sahaabah (the Ulama among the Sahaabah) permission to sit in his company. In this special time Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) preferred the distinguished Sahaabah above others. In this time Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) engaged the distinguished group of Sahaabah in matters of the Deen and the Ummah. Allwho attended came with the motive of acquiring benefit from Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Besides the benefits of Knowledge they would also participate in meals with Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). When they departed from his company, they would leave as guides of the Deen.”
    This was the atmosphere of the special and distinguished gatherings of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
    Regarding the time Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) spent outside the home, Hadhrat Hasan and Hadhrat Husain (radiallahu anhuma) narrate on the authority of their father, Hadhrat Ali (radiallahu anhu) that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was at all times pleasant and smiling. People would not quarrel in his presence. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not speak until another speaker completed and became silent. He overlooked the disrespect which was in the conversation of a stranger. He did not interrupt a conversation unless it exceeded the bounds of propriety. He would then intervene and bring it to an end either by his express prohibition or by leaving the company.
    This was his attitude with the general public, i.e. with those with whom he had connection, viz., the Sahaabah. Regarding his attitude towards his enemies, something will be said about it now.
    19. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrates that once someone asked Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam):
    “O Rasulullah! Curse the mushrikeen.”
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) replied:I was not sent as one who curses. “I was sent only as a mercy.”(Muslim)
    Rasulullah’s (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) habit was to even ask for the betterment of his enemies. Occasionally he would supplicate to Allah for protection against enemies.
    20. In a lengthy hadith narrated by Hadhrat Aishah (radiallahu anha), regarding the incident of Taaif, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) referred to the torture of the kuffaar on this occasion to have been severer than the hardship which he suffered during the battle of Uhad. On this occasion at Taaif, Hadhrat Jibraeel (alayhis salaam) introduced Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) to the Angel in charge of the mountains. The Angel greeted Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and said: “O Muhammad! I am the Angel of the mountains. Allah has sent me to you so that you command me. If you command, I will crush the people of Taaif between these two mountains.”
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) replied:“No! I hope that Allah will create from among them such men who will worship only Allah and associate none with Him.”(Bukhari, Muslim)
    At this critical time too, Rasulullah (sallallahualayhiwasallam) never thought of revenge. He only had to give the order and his enemies would have perished. But he chose to forgive them and supplicate on their behalf. He confronted his opponents with love and affection.

    We find that the most ignorant of people say the most ignorant of things! (And There is no doubt that the people that is over this America government and many Government in this World are the followers of Dajjal ( Antichrist)and they are not recognizable with the exception of their actions And has deceived the entire Muslim World and the World! The dajjal world wide systems is in place, and up and running, this pandemic situation is a major part of that system! Muslims often refer to the civilization which the Illuminati and Masonsic order has been setting up since the 18th century as the Dajjal System. This is the system of so called democracy, capitalism, liberalism, secularism and finance that has come to dominate the Western world since the American and French Revolutions. From many Ahadith we know two things about the system of the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him), the first is that He will use it to place sanctions on Countries who dont follow Him, this is world wide economic dominance, the other is He will use a mixture of technology and Sihr (the occult) to trick people into converting to His false religion making them believe he is a god. The prophet (saws) said there will be forerunners to the Dajjal setting up His system for Him, meaning they will be doing the same things He is but to a lessor scale spreading these two methods of doing things around the world. The capitalist economic system that has strangled the world today and allowed countries to wipe out the entire wealth of a nation in a single day, is the first part of the system of the Dajjal. The other part of that equation are the occult (Sihr) societies now in charge of the world which the wealthy people of the world have adopted over the past century and refuse to let go of, through which they come to manipulate the minds and Hearts of the public indoctrinating them into what ever they like just as the Pharaohs of Egypt before them, to whom Allah sent Musa (as) to destroy the occult system they set up to challenge Allah, this isn’t the first time in history the occult was used to control an entire population but with the arrival of the Dajjal it will be the last. This is the Lizards hole (Myopic world view) Rasulallah(sallallahualayhiwasalam) said the Western and European worlds will crawl into and refuse to leave Rasulallah(sallallahualayhiwasalam) said “You will indeed follow the ways of those before you, hand span by hand span, and an arms length after another. Even if they enter into a lizards hole, you will follow them.” We asked, “Is it the Jews and Christians?” He (Rasulallah(sallallahualayhiwasalam)) replied, “Who else!” (Bukhari) … The meaning of dajjal("the deceiver) The Quran says: There is the type of man whose speech about this world's life May dazzle thee, and he calls Allah to witness about what is in his heart; yet is he the most contentious of enemies. When he turns his back, His aim everywhere is to spread mischief through the earth and destroy crops and cattle. But Allah loved not mischief. When it is said to him, "Fear Allah", He is led by arrogance to (more) crime. Enough for him is Hell;-An evil bed indeed (To lie on)(2:204/205/206).--------------- ----------------------There are many Dajjals some are blind in the right eye and some are blind in the left eye, some are major and some manner. And some are unrecognizable.…....some are only recognizable by the evil that they do, but all are human Devils. We do not know what exist in other cities in America, and in the World. But we do know what exist in America. Among the its people, The dajjals (human devils) they are here! and they are the followers of the one eyed liar the chief Dajjal , these are not just ordinary people who just happen to be blind in the right and left eye these are the dajjals(human devils),and They have subtle and direct control over the Muslims in America and the World.---Why is it that these(Human devils) dajjals can sit in the masjids in America. With the Masjids full of muslims from everywhere in the Muslim World and No one recognizes these creatures? The answer is very simple!
    the Iman (The Faith) of the Muslim people is very weak which have resulted in many people falling into the dajjals deception.
    And Ether they(Muslim people) do not want to recognizes them out of fear that if they are really the dajjals, that the fitnah will start and they choose to ignore the fact that they are among us and also the Masonic, Jewish and christians pretening to be Muslim, and their influences in the Masjids are so strong that it has blinded the hearts of the Muslm people! But All the believers will be able to identify them as Dajjals, as human devils .
    Hazrat Imraan bin Hussain (RA) narrates one of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad ((sallallahualayhiwasalam) pertaining to Dajjal in the following way:
    “I heard Rasulullah ((sallallahualayhiwasalam) saying: “Since the Creation of Adam (AS) till the advent of Qiyamah there is no fitnah much greater that of Dajjal.”
    From this ayat it is clear that Dajjal will be the greatest ‘fitnah’ that the world has ever witnessed since the arrival of Adam (AS)on this Earth and the beginning of human race. Now the word fitnah used in this hadith can be infred to have two connotations, the first one which refers to the‘evil’ meaning of fitnah and the second one which refers to the ‘test or trial’ meaning of fitnah. It means that Dajjal will be the greatest evil that the world has ever seen or will see till the end of the days and as far as the trial or test of surviving a particular situation of adversity is concerned we are in the mental moral and spiritual storm that will destroy most human beings, Dajjal will also easily top all the adversities that human race has faced. Therefore, in all its sense, the arrival of Dajjal is the greatest fitnah faced by humanity.............
    This hadith below suggests that this person in authority the(dajjal)will be unrecognizable to ordinary people, but he will be an outrageous liar, in deceiving others and the world! He has magic in his voice that deceits the ears of ordinary people, he sounds sincere but that is deception! And When a True Believer in ALLAH and the last day will tell the dajjal to his face that he is the dajjal(Antichrist)!And that the True Believer will warned the believing Muslim people that this is the one that is mentioned in the Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahualaihiwasallam) -------------On seeing the Dajjal he will shout, "O people this is the Dajjal!..................................The one that Rasulullah (sallallahualaihiwasallam) mentioned and warned the Muslim people, The believers of"…......-Abdullah ibn Omar, ALLAH be pleased with them both, reported that Rasulullah (sallallahualaihiwasallam) has said: "Last night, I saw myself at the Ka'aba. There I saw a person with a fair skin and a most beautiful appearance circumambulating the Ka'aba. I asked: Who is this man?' A voice replied: "This is Jesus son of Mary.' Then walked an ugly-looking man, whose skin was wrinkled, and who was blind in his right eye. I asked: Who is this man?' A voice replied: 'This is Al-Mas'ih-Dajjal, the impostor of Christ.'’...................................On hearing about the Dajjal a true believer will head towards him. However, on the way he will be stopped by Dajjal's soldiers and asked where he is intending to go. Replying that he is going to meet the person who claims that he is Allah, the soldiers doubting him will ask, ''Do you not believe in our Lord (Dajjal)?'' He will reply there is nothing hidden about our Lord Allah so how can I take Dajjal as my Lord. Angry at his reply they will decide to kill him. But all of a sudden one of them will say, ''Hasn't our Lord (Dajjal) prohibited us from killing anyone without his permission?" Thus they will take him to the Dajjal. On seeing the Dajjal he will shout, "O people this is the Dajjal whom!............... Rasulullah (sallallahualaihiwasallam) mentioned and warned the believers of". Dajjal will order to kill him. He will be placed on his belly and severely beaten. He will be asked, "Do you still not believe in him?" "No! You are the lying Dajjal" he will reply. The true believer will then be sawn into two pieces, the Dajjal will walk in between the two pieces and address him, "Stand up." The true believer will become alive and stand up in one piece. Yet again he will be asked, "Do you now believe in me?" He will reply, "It has only added to my insight concerning you that you are really the Dajjal." The believer will then proclaim, "O people he will not be able to do anything to any man after me." The Dajjal angry at his refusal will grab hold of him and place a knife between his neck and throat to slaughter him but he will be unsuccessful as Allah will place copper in that area and the knife will find no way to penetrate. The Dajjal will grab hold of his hands and legs and throw him into the fire. However, the fire will turn into a pleasant garden for him. This person will be the greatest martyr in the eyes of Allah and achieve the highest position due to his first death, which was caused by severance of the body in two pieces.(Abu Saeed al-Khudri /Muslim)

You have created Rasulallah(sallallahualayhiwasalam) to be the most truthful of men and what He(sallallahualayhiwasalam) has said is the absolute truth!. (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 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.
    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 do not take His Enemies as Friends or protectors. And I also Declare that the Believers are the Friends of ALLAH, and I do not take them as enemies.
    (The Dajjal and his followers are the Enemies of ALLAH). 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. --------O Muslim People! O People of the world beware! This is the time of the dajjal! A time of great Deception! And great ignorance! Where nothing is what it appear to be..In a world where people are being paid and trained to pretend to be muslim in order to bring disgrace on Islam and the Muslim world through tricks and wicked behavior. Where the only news that the world gets is fake news and lies from the multimedia and the social media ! Like The Wall Street Journal, Who manufacture Lies upon lies against Islam, These well planned recent events that has taken place around the world has been designed to turn the people of the world away from the worship of the one GOD(ALLAH), who created the heavens and the earth! GOD The Al-mighty! And Now they turn to the worship of nothing! 90% of these world leaders and the Leaders of this Government are atheist, So how can they be entrusted to make intelligent decisions for the wellbeing of the American people or for the people of the world??? ----- They turn away from Islam and they are also working to turn the world against the Mahdi by using corrupt language and wicked behavior as tools of deception . And these events have also set the Stage for the persecution, the oppression and the Murder of many Muslims and people in General in America and throughout the World. For the last past 1400 years! The Enemies of Islam have been studying The Holy Quran and the Hadith, trying to find a way to change the circumstance of what has been foretold in the Hadiths of Rasulullah (sallallahualayhiwasalam) about the last days! So they moving across the ocean, across the world in the hope to change the circumstances, of what has already been written about the last days! ..So they have also written a lot of fabricated hadiths that are nothing but lies.
    Trying to deceive the coming future generations of Muslims people.
    The first and most crucial obligation on us is to acquire knowledge and secondly to
    Practice and preach or teach this knowledge. No man becomes truly a real Muslim without
    Knowing the meaning of Islam, and knowing the 9 Conditions of Shahada. Because he becomes a Muslim not through birth or through Culture, or circumstances,
    But through knowledge and Faith!
    Unless we come to know the basic and necessary teachings
    of Rasulallah(sallallahualayhi was salam) how can we believe in him, have faith in him, act
    according to what he taught? Or have faith in the Din of ALLAH, or even have faith in ALLAH! -If we do not have knowledge of ALLAH and the Life of His Rasulallah(sallallahualayhi was salam) and His practices, It is impossible for us to be real Muslims, and at the same time live in a state of ignorance.
    A person without knowledge is like someone walking along a track in complete darkness. Most likely his steps will wander aside and he easily can be deceived by shaytaan. This shows that our greatest danger lies in our ignorance of Islamic
    teachings and in our unawareness of what the Qur’an teaches and what guidance has
    been given by Rasulallah(sallallahualayhi was salam). But if we are blessed with the (Nur) light of knowledge
    We will be able to see plainly the clearly the path of (Din) Islam at every step of the way our lives, in every step of the way! We
    shall also be able to identify and avoid the dangerous paths of Kufr, Shirk and
    immorality, which we may cross it. O Muslim people this is time to whole the Scholars accountable and responsible for their Duty and responsibility of teaching, living and educating the People of the World by Spreading the Din. With the heartfelt, profound and deep-seated knowledge of Din. Now is the time for Great Education of Din, this turmoil and unrest in the Muslim world and in the World have given the Scholars the Freedom to Teach and educate the Muslim people and the World Openly without Fear!, In this time that we are living in there has been a movement in the west with strong efforts to make sure that the Muslims in the west and throughout the world remain ignorance and uninformed about the very basics of Islam, this efforts has been to present Islam in the Most corrupt form. So that the Muslim people will remain ignorance and the people of the world will reject it and turn away from the Din of ALLAH, even before having any real knowledge about it. This is not something new! And now the dajjals has already appeared among the Muslim in the west and
    That is a reality that All of us will have to face! And it is written that he (They) would appear in the east! The very Fact that the New World(The American Government) exists has changed the direction of History.So they have started to change the circumstance. And his followers in this government has also make it easy for the dajjals to gain power in the west! It was just a matter of time before that Enemy of ALLAH would make his physical presence known before the entire world, And The Muslim World, This is the place where he is Doing his secret work in America, In most of the masjids in America, over half of the People who are in the Masjids are Jews,Masons,and
    secret agents and people from the secret societies they are in control of the majority of the masjids in America, they speak Arabic but they are not Arab they speak every Language that the Muslims speak but they are not Muslim, they are The Enemies of ALLAH pretending to be Muslim! Think about The Dramatic changes that have taken place in the world on this earth in the last years or so, then you will know! So I invite all of us back towards the obedience of ALLAH! And obeying the commands of ALLAH the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahualaihiwassalam), to abolish the evil in our lives, and to revive the Sunnah by living it." "Remember that (Anti-Christ) the dajjal is the Enemy of ALLAH! There is no Doubt. He is unrecognizable unless we take a good look at him! O Muslims people we must rejected this Black hearted wicked Kafir the dajjal! And his followers and the others, The Others dajjals there are many! (THE ANTICHRIST) the dajjal he is also the Enemy of mankind! His goal in this life is to destroy the Dignity of the Human being and to bring mankind in to disgrace before the sight of ALLAH forever! Through deception and trickery. The deceit and tricks are design to lead mankind to blindly follow and worship him(the dajjal) as a deity. And his False promise, his lies of paradise which in reality is Hell! And he promises nothing but Deceit. Dajjal will have a false paradise! false paradise of wealth and Good Jobs! Where he will admit his friends and followers! And he has a false hell, where he will throw his opponents. Dajjal will have a false paradise, where he will admit his friends and followers, and a false hell, where he will throw his opponents. What is the dajjal heaven? It is anything that the Human Nafs's loves and desires, Wealth and Luxuries. And what is the dajjal hell? It is anything that the nafs's dislike or Hate! Like Righteousness, Goodness, Morality, morally excellent, decency, honesty and integrity, -Those people who will accept Dajjal's sexuality based heaven will be cast into ALLAH's Real Hell! And those people who will enter Islam wholeheartedly and become real Muslims will be cast into Dajjal's False hell. It will persuade people to implement the new age, modern man-made laws and cricket ways and limits in order to be progressive and live in wealth, prosperity and civility. In short, people will be asked to enjoy the bliss of heaven as it knows and enjoys. The whole of mankind will never accept the dajjal or his Lies or his false promises! But In the course of time, a great number of mankind will indeed accept the Dajjal offer to entered its False promised of heaven, Through his voice of deception. In the False heaven of the dajjal there is no peace or tranquility! It was not meant to be! That is why crime levels of every society continue to rise at alarming rates; murder, theft, rape, arson, there is no end to the list. By far the worst of it all is yet to come, this is the result of acceptance of the God-forsaken, soulless education system of the Dajjal.

    Faith in ALLAH with Whole heartedly(Tawakkul)

    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, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (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 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!... Tawakkul (trusting in ALLAH’s plan) It instead means that we rely on ALLAH with all our heart and this very reliance gives us the strength to take proper action, even in circumstances when we feel it is humanly impossible to go on. Our strength is derived from ALLAH's unlimited Power…..“And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah then He will suffice him. (Quran(65:3).

    Tawakkul is an Arabic word that describes the Islamic concept of completely trusting in ALLAH’s plan. It means to have perfect faith in ALLAH and reliance on ALLAH alone, which is tremendously liberating. Tawakkul means that when facing trials and challenges in life, we must surrender and trust in ALLAH as our source of support and strength; and rely on His unlimited power as we continue striving to reach our aims and overcome difficulties.
    However, as a helpful and well-known Arabic saying goes: “Trust in ALLAH [God-The All-Mighty ] but tie your camel” — which perfectly illustrates how reliance on ALLAH ties into personal effort. That is, having tawakkul does not mean sitting around doing nothing hoping ALLAH will magically solve all our problems. It instead means that we rely on ALLAH with all our heart and this very reliance gives us the strength to take proper action, even in circumstances when we feel it is humanly impossible to go on. Our strength is derived from ALLAH’s unlimited Power. ALLAH helps us through the many gifts he endowed us with, including our intellect, mental and emotional faculties, and the laws that govern the Universe, such as the law of cause and effect, among others.
    Having a strong sense of trust in ALLAH frees us from fear and negativity.
    Having a strong sense of trust in ALLAH frees us from fear and negativity. Say you are making your best efforts to improve your financial situation. We work as much as we can, constantly look for permissible ways to increase our income and suddenly we lose our jobs. Instead of becoming despondent and paralyzed, we realize that this is an opportunity to practice and strengthen our faith and reliance on ALLAH in all circumstances and conditions. Once we have made this realization, we do not give in to fear and despair. Instead, we continue to take actions that will bring us positive results, What ever ALLAH wills, will happen and whatever ALLAH wills not will happen, Rather than sleeping long hours or sitting around idly, we use our time constructively. For instance, we read books that nourish our hearts, minds and spirits, we exercise our body in order to increase our energy and stamina, and, of course, we search for work in as many places as if possible confident that ALLAH is with us, supporting us, and that His plan for us is greater than we can imagine.
    Spiritual beliefs are meant to empower and liberate us. Faith in ALLAH – another way of understanding Tawakkul – is in essence a set of beliefs that free us from limitations and enhances our life’s possibilities. If we believe that ALLAH is the Source of all creation and all power, we understand that although we are severely limited as human beings, as believers we derive our strength from a limitless source, ALLAH, and through His might we are able to continue to act in the face of even the most difficult circumstances. A great illustration of tawakkul from the times of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is the battle of Uhud.
    A great illustration of tawakkul from the times of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is the battle of Uhud. This was a battle where the Muslims were harshly defeated, and their enemies, after leaving the battleground, decided to return and inflict even greater harm on them. According to the Quran (3:120-129), when the Muslims were informed of this, those who possessed strong faith were untouched by fear in the dangerous situation they were in, having lost most of their army. On the contrary, relying on ALLAH and seeking assistance from the power of their faith, they increased their steadfastness and resistance. As a result, once the victorious enemies were informed of the remaining Muslim’s resolve, they quickly changed their minds and retreated.
    The opposite of trusting in and relying on ALLAH is relying on created beings. This means being dependent on someone else and lacking autonomy or self-reliance. As it is patently apparent, having tawakkul is the difference between living life as ALLAH intended us to, as independent and dignified human beings, the highest of His creation, or humiliated as slaves to things or to other creatures.
    If we think of the central Islamic principle of Unity,
    la ilaha ill’Allah, which means “there is no god but ALLAH,” we understand that tawakkul is a direct result of this Unity: The Source of all that exists is ALLAH and therefore, the source of all power originates from this Primary source that is ALLAH.
    Understanding this principle fully, letting it sink into our entire being, and living by it, causes us to become truly resilient and perseverant in the face of temporary, or even lasting, adversities and defeats in life. Tawakkul essentially means that as human beings we do not “
    experience a feeling of weakness or inferiority” in the face of problems, “but instead consider [ourselves] victorious by relying on the infinite power of Allah.” Therefore, tawakkul causes us to be hopeful, strong, and energetic—qualities that in turn increase our spirit and determination. Tawakkul essentially means that as human beings we do not “experience a feeling of weakness or inferiority in the face of problems.”
    Besides dealing with difficulties, tawakkul helps us when we have to make a decision. The Quran advises us to think thoroughly and seek the advice of those we consider wise before making a choice. However, once a course of action has been determined, we are to place our trust in ALLAH, as “He loves those who put their trust in Him” (Quran 3:159). That is, after having considered the alternatives, prayed to seek
    ALLAH’s guidance, taken time to think things thoroughly and, if needed, sought advice, once we make a decision, we are not to doubt it anymore. This approach allows us to focus all our energy on carrying out our decision, knowing that ALLAH is helping us, instead of wasting it by constantly doubting and second-guessing ourselves.
    Noted Muslim scholar Imam as-Sadiq once
    stated that “independence and honor are in a state of travel and when they come to the place of tawakkul, they take up residence there.” Indeed, tawakkul is the source of, or the home of, independence and honor. Relying on ALLAH makes us free and confident and saves us from being dependent on others, which is different from seeking advice and help from others as we saw above (The Quran: Surah Ibrahim/Verse 12)No reason have we why we should not put our trust on ALLAH. Indeed he has guided us to the ways we(follow).
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) asked archangel Jibrail (Gabriel), “
    What is tawakkul?” And he replied, “Cognizance that the creation of Allah can neither cause harm or yield benefit; neither can it grant nor withhold a bounty; one must sever all expectations from the creation of Allah. When a person becomes such, he shall never work for anyone other than Allah and shall never hope and expect from anyone other than Him, and this is the reality of tawakkul.” As humans or mankind, we must trust one another so we can create a harmonious community. Without trusting each other we may become enemies with one another thus creating distruption and disturbances on earth. It is essential for a human to build trust with one another. Just like relationships, we need to build that trust. But at times, just like relationship with another human, trust has its restrictions. How oft times have we been betrayed by another human in our life when we have given our full trust? I am certain many of us have, i surely know how that trust can be broken by another human being. However we cannot fault the other human as their trust has limitations! Only through having a close relationship with Allah swt. and getting personal with Allah swt. through His 99 beautiful (names) attributes can we have that trusting relationship with Allah swt. And only then, can the mankind find their true worth and be at peace with their decisions. Subhana Allah. Trusting in Allah is a unique action that has no comparison as He is our Creator. He knows about our weaknesses and strengths. In all circumstances, we must rely on Allah as our Creator and He knows the best for us. When we have given our full trust to Allah, in sha Allah, we will not be dissapointed as He is all Knowing and most importantly He Created us, only He Knows what is best for us and how we will achieve it successfully. When we trust in Allah, and try to achieve something with Dua’ and ikhtiyar Allah will grant us with His mercy. In sha Allah. Tawakkal or Trusting in Allah is part of our ibadah just like our shahadah is. Are we taught to trust in Allah? What is trusting Allah means in our daily life? And how do we trust Allah? In practical life I belief that, the importance of trusting in Allah often comes to our life after we have gone through certain tests, trials, tribulations. Those trials or tests make us to realize that there is no solution for all those situations except from ALLAH. Hence, we must turn to trust in Allah and beg for His help as we realized that no one else can help us except ALLAH. We do not ask help or cry our calamities to others, we can only ask Allah to clear the boulder that is in our path, If we beg others also the help is coming from Allah, only Allah has the power to help us. The Almighty is the only one who can remove our difficulties from our path. So we put our total reliance upon Him to do so. In putting our total trust in His hands, He will help us through His ways, how, by whom and by what means all those questions only Allah Knows. When we trust totally in ALLAH then only we will become a true believer. If we try to count the sacred verses in the quran regarding trust in Allah, it is probably in almost every chapter (subhanallah). Allah is constantly reminding us to trust in Him always and unfailingly. When you trust in Him, there is no fear and worries.
    For example during this coronavirus pandemic, we need to give our full reliance and trust to Allah as He is the Creator of mankind as well as the Creator of the Heavens and Earth.
    Allah Created all and everything, only Allah can educate us and give us knowledge
    Allah granted knowledge to the medical experts about this pandemic what it is? How it is to be prevented? ALLAH has made it clear that it is these human being who are responsible for the manufacturing of this Pandemic.
    Our beloved Nabi Muhammad Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is our role model Allah swt granted our beloved Nabi Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) the perfect knowledge. We need to follow the instructions of our beloved nabi Muhammad Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) strictly and the guidelines given by the government and the medical authorities of our country in order to avoid the contagious corona virus.
    Tawakkal means Giving Full Reliance in Allah and Trusting all and everything In Allah and in His Power.
    Ya ALLAH we beg for Your infinite mercy
    Ya ALLAH grant us thoufeeq (guidance- The Divine Guidance)

    ) to Tawakkal only in You for all our affaires of dunia and akhirat
    Dear Allah we beg of You! Please make steadfast our trust in You.
    Ameen ya rabbal alameeen. Importance of Tawakkul
    Tawakkul is basically the “trust and reliance on Allah” that is accepting the results that He decides regardless of how they may turn out to be. We may face challenges and difficult situations in our life but we have to face them strongly while believing in Allah Almighty that is the concept of Tawakkul. Tawakkul is our belief and the attitude that we have about putting trust in Allah to take care of all affairs of our life.
    In Holy Quran, Allah Almighty says: “And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever places his trust in Allah, Sufficient is He for him, for Allah will surely accomplish His Purpose: For verily, Allah has appointed for all things a due proportion.” (Quran, 65:3). From this verse, we can say that always trust and rely on Allah because He is the Best Sustainer and He will guide us in our difficult time and surely He will protect us.
    In Holy Quran Allah Almighty clear that Tawakkul is not an option rather a requirement. Allah says in Quran in words: “…And put your trust in Allah if you are believers indeed” (Quran, 5: 23). When we talk about Tawakkul we say that we depend on Allah for everything and place reliance on Him. We trust on Allah on all things no matter its worldly affairs or related to Deen. Tawakkul involves belief, dependence and action mean we have to rely on Allah because without His permission nothing could happen or occur. If we believe on Allah then it means we have our faith in Him, so we can say Tawakkul is the part of One’s faith. In Holy Quran Allah says: “The Believers Are Only Those Who, When Allah Is Mentioned, Feel a Fear in Their Hearts and When His Verses Are Recited to Them, They Increase Their Faith; And They Put Their Trust In Their Rabb.” (Quran, Surah Al-Anfal)
    Tawakkul is a kind of light for our hearts and a means for us to seek nearness towards Allah (SWT) in a manner that absolutely nothing else can achieve. The element of this quality of the heart is built upon two very important pillars: dependence upon Allah and trust in Allah.
    Levels of Tawakkul
    There are some levels of Tawakkul through which we can understand it easily and we are going to discuss them below:
    o If we have to describe the first level of Tawakkul it could be Tawhid that is the basis for Tawakkul. We have to believe that Allah Almighty is the Best Sustainer and He is All-Knowing, He is All-Capable and sufficient to rely on. All things could happen or occur only with His Will and Instructions.
    o The second level is to believe that every matter has a cause or a means. Some people give up utilizing these means due to their ignorance and think that this is reliance on Allah Almighty. They wait for Allah (SWT) to send down their provisions, feed them and take care of their concerns and affairs while they do nothing. We should not be complacent or inactive; we should do everything that’s available to us to reach our goals. We have to believe on Allah but with that, we have to do something by ourselves for living our lives.
    o The third level is to remain firm in relying on Allah alone. Indeed, a person’s reliance on Allah cannot be fulfilled until one relies on Him alone.
    o The fourth level is to depend on Allah wholeheartedly and feel tranquility when doing so, to the extent that one does not feel confused about their provision.
    o The highest level of Tawakkul, towards which we should all seek, of course, is to realize that the element of reliance on Allah is to trust all matters to Him voluntarily, without feeling forced to do so.
    Benefits of Tawakkul
    There are benefits of Tawakkul some of them we will discuss below:
    o No matter what hardship or misfortune befalls one, it will be accepted without panic and the heart will remain strong in the face of such hardships. Strong belief that is Tawakkul will indicate that Allah’s wish is in this occurrence and it cannot be opposed. It is the Mercy of Allah that He has told us that our responsibility is limited. And that is the meaning of “On no soul does Allah place a burden greater than it can bear” (Quran 2: 286). We should believe on Allah no matter what he has put on us it will going to be an end by His Mercy.
    o Tawakkul is that it invites us to connect to a powerful associate who is no one but the Rabb Himself. The more we rely on Him, the greater the chances that we will try to please Him by following the guidance He has given us, which in turn will lead to goodness in this world and success in the Hereafter.
    o The believers who have Tawakkul will attribute everything to the Will and Pleasure of Allah (SWT). He will thus be penetrating with obedience. Such a man will not be arrogant and imperious.
    o By fully trusting in Allah and relying on Him, we are not depressed by what we have lost or intoxicated by our success. We know that all things are in Allah’s hands. And that makes us not only humbler but more submissive to Rabb, thus better believers.
    Relying on Allah Almighty can impart full satisfaction and peace in a person. Muslims should never become disheartened and discouraged in difficult situations. Repose all your trust in Allah (SWT). Let’s seek to understand the concept of Tawakkul and to make it part of our belief systems. We will see that things will not only get resolved easier with His help, but Tawakkul will also relieve us from the day to day suffering and worries associated with the challenges of this life. May Allah help us in all difficult situations and give us the strength to overcome them. Ameen!

    Istiqamah

    "Bismillah Ir Rahman Nir Raheem.
    I testify that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah And I testify that Muhammad (allallaho-Alaihe-Wa-Sallam) is his beloved servant and Messenger.......BismillahIr-Rahman,Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH'sauspiciousness,whoseName is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An LaaillaahaillallahuWa Ash HaduAnna Muhammadan Abdu HuWaRasooluhu. ''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,Youare Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah,Showeryour blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly,Youare Praiseworthy and Glorious". I am Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) My way of lift and I am satisfied with Muhammad as Rasulallah(Messenger) sallallahu alaihi wa 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!.. We must realize that ALLAH has created us imperfect, So He does not expect perfection from us, But He Does expect us to try out best. The 21st hadith in Imam an-Nawawi’s assortment (learn here) offers with The topic of Istiqamah (steadfastness). It is a essential matter particularly once we contemplate the numerous exams and trials that we as the Ummah ofMuhammad Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam) are presently going through. It’s of utmost significance that we not solely perceive the idea of istiqamah, however we attempt to achieve it…….On the authority of Abu ‘Amr, though others call him Abu ‘Amrah Sufyan bin ‘Abdullah, radiyallahu anhu, who said:
    I said: “Ya Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam),tell me something about Islam which I could not ask anyone about save you.” He answered: “Say: ‘I believe in Allah’, and then stand firm and steadfast.”
    [Muslim]…. The literal meaning of “Istiqamah”: to go straight into the right direction, acting rightly, allowing no deviation. It is derived from the stem “Qiyyam”, which implies the continuity of doing something, following up with it and making sure that it is done in the right way and there is neither deviation nor swerving.
    The term has been used by the Qur’an in many verses. Allah the Almighty says:
    “Therefore, stand firm (on the straight path) as you are commanded and those who turn in repentance with you. And do not transgress, for He (Allah) sees well all that you do.”
    [Surah Hud (11): ayat 112]
    Ibnu Abbas said that this verse was the hardest and most difficult verse of the Qur’an on Muhammad Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam).
    Indeed it is a difficult task to achieve Istiqamah, hence, Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam),said; “Be straight on the path or be close to it.”
    In another verse, Allah the Almighty says:
    “So unto this (religion) invite (the people). Stand steadfast as you are commanded and do not follow their desires…..”
    [Surah al-Shura’ (42): ayat 15]
    Based on these two verses, it can be inferred that Istiqamah is to stand firm and steadfast to what we have been commanded by Allah, i.e. to fulfill obligations and to avoid prohibitions. Also, we should not allow ourselves to follow or be mislead by desires (whether it is our desires or the desires of others) as it will cause deviation and lead us astray. According to Ibn al-Qayyim, there are five conditions to achieve Istiqamah in performing required deeds:

    1. The act should be done for the sake of Allah alone (ikhlas).
    2. It should be done on the basis of knowledge (‘ilm).
    3. Performing ibadah should be in the same manner that they have been commanded.
    4. To do it in the best way possible.
    5. Restricting oneself to what is lawful while performing those deeds.

    According to other scholars of suluk, i.e. behavior, there are certain steps to be followed in order to achieve Istiqamah :

    1. Always being aware of the final destination, i.e. the Day of Judgment (Akhirah). And to use this awareness in a positive way as a motive to do good deeds. One way to do it is through remembering that a person’s journey towards Akhirah starts the minute he / she passes away and leaves this world. One of the Salafs said: “If you live until the morning do not wait for the evening and if you live until the evening do not wait for the morning.”
    2. Commitment (Musharatah). One has to make a commitment that he/she will be steadfast and will do things in the right way and in the best way possible, and to adhere to conjunctions of Islam. Unfortunately many Muslims are being lenient in making such a commitment.
    3. To make continuous efforts (Mujahadah) to bring that commitment to reality. Some Muslims dare to make the commitment, but dare not to make the effort to make the commitment a reality.
    4. Continuous checking and reviewing of one’s deeds (Muraqabah). Being honest with oneself so as not to give false excuses for failing to fulfill a commitment.
    5. Self accountability (Muhasabah). This should be done twice: Firstly, before we start doing something, ensuring that it pleases Allah, that we do it for His sake only, realizing the right way it should be done. Secondly, after the action has been done, to check whether we have achieved what we aimed for, and to check for defects and shortcomings, and that we still could have done it better by not being satisfied with our action.
    6. Blaming oneself for not doing it perfectly after it has been done. Self blaming here is a positive one by using it as a motive, and by aiming for improvement and having the intention of doing things better next time. This leads to making another commitment and continual commitments to improve our performance.
    7. Striving for improvement (Tahsin). We have to make improvements in all that we do (daily activities, work, actions, good deeds, ibadah, etc.) as one of our objectives.
    8. To be humble towards Allah, realizing that no one is perfect except Him, seeking His forgiveness, guidance and support.

    It should be emphasized that these steps/conditions apply to worldly matters as well as ibadah and good religious deeds.
    Factors that lead to the weakening of Istiqamah include:

    1. Committing sins (ma’siah), insisting on repeating them again and again, without istighfar (seeking Allah’s forgiveness) and without practicing repentance.
    2. Shirk (associating anything with Allah) whether in intentions, by showing off our good deeds to others, seeking others’ appraisal, avoiding being blamed by others, being afraid of someone, or to seek rewards from others than Allah. This part of shirk is also called riyya’ or showing off. All these lead to deviation in Istiqamah, and when these stimuli are not there, the person’s work is not perfect any more and it is not done in the best way possible.
    3. Nifaq (hypocrisy). There are two forms of nifaq: in belief and in action. The Muslim who surrenders totally to the will of Allah and accept Islam based on his/her choice is free from the first form of hypocrisy. However any Muslim is subject to and should avoid the second form of nifaq which Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam), warned us about: Not keeping promises and breaking them continuously without good reasons or excuses, not fulfilling commitments we make with others, being aggressive and unjust to others in quarrels, and disputes, failing to shoulder responsibilities/burdens we are entrusted with, etc. All these bad qualities should be avoided since they lead to the weakening of our Istiqamah.
    4. Bida’ah (innovations in ibadah), whether genuine bida’ah (performing ibadah which has not been ascribed by Shariah, i.e. revelation), or relative bida’ah (failing to observe the requirements of doing ibadah – the five criteria discussed in Hadith 5), will lead to decreasing the quality of good action or ibadah.

    There are other factors that also contribute to the weakening of Istiqamah, such as: recklessness, reluctance, heedlessness, being overwhelmed by a deceiving enjoyment, and being mislead by self interests and desires.
    Applying the above mentioned steps and requirements pinpointed by scholars will help in overcoming all these obstacles and barriers. True strength often does not lie in one’s physique or muscle-power, but is almost always an issue going much deeper. Many are those who seem strong-willed and distinguished amongst people until there occurs at hand something which exposes their true reality, showing a weak and brittle state. Then there are those few individuals who may remain unknown to society, but who hold a high rank with their Rabb. They may be seen to be weak and insignificant, but their reality is such that when Mankind is wandering in darkness and heedlessness, they never lose their path. Were the people to be enveloped in fear and hardship, these individuals would not flinch. Such is the power of having Istiqamah.
    So what is Istiqamah?
    Istiqamah is often translated to mean ‘uprightness, correctness, integrity, soundness’ and so forth. It comes from the root word قام (qama) meaning ‘to rise’ or ‘to stand upright’ and it’s from this that we derive words like مستقيم(mustaqeem) as in ‘Sirat al-Mustaqeem’ (Straight Path).
    For the believer, Istiqamah is a virtue and a caliber that cannot be done without. It’s a quality that we continually strive to attain although we may fail at times. In this age where fitan (tribulations) have become widespread and open sin is the norm, many people have lost the Istiqamah they once had in them – the strength to stay upon the straight path with firmness has escaped through their fingers. Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) mentions in Surah Fussilat,
    “Verily, those who say ‘Our Rabb is Allah’ and then they’ istaqamu’ (remain firm and straight), on them the Angels will descend (at time of death) saying: ‘Fear not, nor grieve! But receive glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised!” [Fussilat: 30]
    He (subhanahu wa ta’ala) also says,
    “So stand you firm and straight as you are commanded – and those who turn in repentance with you, and transgress not. Verily, He is All-Seer of what you do.” [Surah Hud: 112]
    The reward of Istiqamah in this world is nothing other than Jannah as is mentioned in the first of the two verses above. It comes next to our declaration of Iman in Allah, and it is what will aid and strengthen our Tawheed (belief in Allah).
    In addition to uprightness and firmness, Istiqamah also entails leaving sin and avoiding transgression as Allah said in the previous verse, “and transgress not” – making it part of the command given in the above ayah. Our Istiqamah is not complete until and unless we stay within the boundaries set for us by Allah through the Shari’ah (Islamic Law).
    In a beautiful hadith of Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam), it is related that Sufyan ibn ‘Abdullah (ra) came to him and said, “Ya Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam)! Tell me something about Islam which I can ask of no-one except you.” He (s) said, “Say: I believe in Allah and thereafter be upright” [Sahih Muslim]
    As upholders of Islam, we have to realise that developing this Istiqamah within us, is a long-term process. It does not occur overnight or after listening to one lecture, but rather it’s a continuous struggle in which we may find ourselves failing more often than once.
    Istiqamah is in our words, actions, intentions, and state (our condition). It is what our character builds upon and it is what determines our destiny on the Day of Judgment.
    Throughout Islamic History, reflections of Istiqamah have shone from great figures. The Prophets(alayhi wa salam) being at the forefront leading this world under the guidance of Allah were truly upon Istiqamah. Calling a nation engrossed in disbelief and shirk is not easy when you are alone. How simple it must be for one to walk away at the first sign of rejection – but not the Prophets (`alayhim al-salam). Allah had kept them firm upon His path and established within them the Istiqamah they needed to carry out such testing tasks. The Sahabahs of Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam) were nurtured by the Qur’an which not only changed them so drastically, but built them upon firmness and integrity. So great was their Istiqamah and patience that horrific ordeals poured out on them was not enough to shake them or make them utter false statements. They were the ones who stood like towering blocks against the current of what surrounded them.
    Istiqamah is also needed during times of ease just as much as it would be needed during times of hardship. This is because when the heart begins to feel false security, ease and becomes arrogantly confident from the punishment of Allah then this is a heart that has been exposed to fitnah (test), and has subsequently failed. It is during these periods that the masses start to suffer from forgetfulness. Their vision shifts from the Akhirah to the Dunya and so their actions begin to be ones done solely for attaining and reaping worldly benefits at the expense of their religion. It is during these times that a person becomes blind to their sins, and therefore hardly sees a need for repentance – increasing one’s outstanding punishment. This is why the pious predecessors feared for themselves when they experienced prolonged periods of ease and comfort in their lives – they feared that any due punishment or atonement for sin had been delayed for the Hereafter, where every reward or punishment increases in magnitude and length. Istiqamah however, doesn’t allow a person to be as easily misled as that. It prevents a person from occupying such weakness in their Islam, and keeps their heart and feet planted firmly upon the Straight Path. It serves as the distinguishing factor which keeps them firm and focused whether in hardship or in ease.
    Istiqamah of the Heart
    Ibn Rajab (rahimahullah) said, “The root of Istiqamah lies with the heart being firm upon Tawhid.”
    Having correct Tawhid is essential in every minute and detailed aspect of a person’s Islam – recognizing Allah as our Rabb and Creator. Dedicating all our worship to Him Alone and purifying our belief in Him. Learning to love Him, having fear of His punishment and having hope for His reward. Learning to have Tawakkul (reliance) upon Him and making sure to negate and reject all other false deities, as Abu Bakr (ra) was once asked, “What is Istiqamah?” He replied by saying, “It is to not associate partners with Allah” and by this he meant that one’s Istiqamah is based on sincere and correct Tawhid.
    The heart being at the center of life is often the driving force for many of our actions. This is why Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said, “Verily, in the body is a morsel of flesh, were it to be upright, then the whole body would be upright and were it to be corrupt then the whole body would corrupt. Verily, it is the heart.” Therefore, it can only follow that a heart established upon Tawhid will order and call for righteous actions to be performed. Ibn Rajab (rh) called the heart ‘King of the body’ in that it is obeyed and naturally followed.
    Some sayings of the Salaf regarding Istiqamah
    Different scholars and righteous figures from Islamic History have given several statements and advise regarding Istiqamah.
    Mujahid: “Be upright and stand firm on la ilaha illa-Allah until you meet Allah.’
    Ali ibn Abi Talib and Ibn `Abbas (radi’Allahu ‘anhuma): “Istiqamah means to carry out the fara’idh (obligations in Islam).”
    ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan (ra): “It is to purify your actions for Allah,” i.e. to be sincere in deeds.
    Al-Hasan al-Basri: “Be firm and upright upon the commands of Allah, work to His obedience and keep away from His disobedience”
    Ibn al-Qayyim mentions that some knowledgeable people would say, “Be the companion of Istiqamah and not the seeker of respect and nobility [amongst the people], because your soul seeks this respect and nobility while Allah has called it to seek Istiqamah.” He (rahimahullah) also said, “I heard Ibn Taymiyyah say, “The greatest nobility lies in the presence and requirement of Istiqamah.””
    To conclude, this is the Istiqamah that we so ardently need in order to safeguard our Deen, make it out of this Dunya and arrive safely in the Akhirah. It is what will aid us against our enemies, against Shaytan and his army and it is also what will help us make strong and wise decisions throughout our lives, and remain firm upon them.“Verily, those who say ‘Our Rabb is Allah’ and thereafter remain firm and straight (istaqamu), on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. Such shall be the dwellers of Paradise abiding therein – a reward for what they used to do.” [al-Ahqaf: 13-14]
    We ask Allah to bestow upon us His Grace, forgive us of our sins and plant our hearts firmly upon the Word of Truth (the Shahadah).
    May He give us the Istiqamah we need to face the challenges of life, and live up to the title of being Muslims. Ameen
    Anything good I’ve said is from Allaah due to His never-ending Mercy and Grace. Anything wrong I’ve said is from me and Shaytan. Hadith 21: The concept of Istiqamah On the authority of Abu ‘Amr, though others call him Abu ‘Amrah Sufyan bin ‘Abdullah, radiyallahu anhu, who said: I said: “Ya Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam),tell me something about Islam which I could not ask anyone about save you.” He answered: “Say: ‘I believe in Allah’, and then stand firm and steadfast.” [Muslim]
    Do you practice Istiqamah in your daily life? If you find yourself struggling to stay consistent in performing certain deeds, be it an act of worship obligatory upon Muslims such as our daily prayers, or other day-to-day activities, you are not alone!
    As human beings, we are not meant to be perfect. Instead, we have a natural tendency to be lazy, to get distracted, to lose focus, and many other weaknesses that may deviate us from our very purpose of existence, i.e. to worship Allah, which is the very reason why we need to strive to achieve istiqamah in the first place.
    But fret not, there are certain tips that we can follow as we strive towards achieving istiqamah. Let’s get to it!
    1) To be clear of the final destination, i.e. the Hereafter

    This world is only a testing ground and a temporary pitstop in our journey to meet our Creator. Allah placed us temporarily in this world to test us with what we experience in life, whether we strive to be on the right path or we follow the path of disobedience. Those who remain steadfast in the path of Allah will earn His pleasure, and those who do not will be punished on the Day of Judgement.
    “The life of this world is no more than the delusion of enjoyment.” [Surah aal Imran:185]
    [Good Deeds that Outlast Death|5 Types of Sadaqah Jariyah]
    So choose to obey Allah and constantly remind ourselves of the Hereafter. Being clear of our final destination and not letting the temporary life get the better of us helps keep us on the right track.
    2) To make continuous efforts (mujahadah) in achieving istiqamah

    Putting effort in everything that you do is important. It’s especially more so when you are trying to be consistent about something. In fact, being consistent would require at least double the effort that you put in when you get started.
    The same applies to achieving istiqamah. We may fall short at times but making continuous efforts (mujahadah) means not giving up and striving to get back on track every time we slip up. While people look at results, Allah looks at our efforts. Nothing is ever wasted in the eyes of Allah if we do it sincerely out of our devotion for Him.
    “And they will be told, All this is surely a reward for you. Your striving (efforts) has been appreciated.”[Surah al-Insan:22]
    3) To check and purify our intention as we strive to achieve istiqamah

    One of the beauties of Islam is that Allah looks at the intention behind every action and not just the action itself. Umar ibn Khattab narrated that he heard Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam)said, “Actions are according to intentions, and everyone will get what was intended.” [Bukhari and Muslim] The hadith highlights the significance of having an intention for every physical act that we do. It indirectly depicts the relation between action and intention which reflects the connection between our physical element (action) and spiritual component (intention).

    As we strive to achieve istiqamah, it’s important that we check our intention and to purify it from time to time. Do your best to ensure that your actions are backed by the purest of intentions, i.e. to gain the pleasure of Allah.
    4) To be in the company of good people (solihin)

    Scholars said istiqamah is difficult to attain and the hardest things to hold on to. Keeping a company of good people helps make the journey towards attaining it less turbulent. This is aligned with Islamic teaching that orders us to be selective of who we surround ourselves with as we are highly influenced by the people around us.
    Muhammad Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhi wa salam)said, “A man follows the religion of his friend; so each one should consider whom he makes his friend.” [Al-Albani]
    There is no better friends than those who remind you of Allah, and that’s also exactly the kind of friend every Muslim should be.
    5) To seek His forgiveness

    Achieving istiqamah is a lifelong journey for every Muslim. That said, we may, more often than not, get exhausted and sidetracked along the way. Allah knows this. As our Creator, He understands the struggle that will come our way. It’s not an easy ride so He asks us to seek His forgiveness every time we waver.
    He says in the Qur’an, “Say, O [Muhammad], ‘I am only a man like you to whom it has been revealed that your god is but one God; so take a straight course to Him (be steadfast) and seek His forgiveness.”[ Surah Fussilat:6]
    The verse tells us to strive to be steadfast (istiqamah) but to seek forgiveness from Allah when we fall. Seeking forgiveness through istighfar and taubah (repentance) is crucial in our journey to achieve istiqamah. Strive towards achieving istiqamah

    Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah famously said:
    أعظم الكرامة لزوم الاستقامة
    “The greatest of the saintly miracles is to be given Istiqamah – the grace to be steadfast on the straight path.”
    It’s a blessing that Allah chose us to be part of this journey in achieving istiqamah. Not only are we faced with the obstacles that come with it but we are also handed with the tools to overcome them. With Allah by our side and His wills, we will be able to overcome anything. May Allah make our heart steadfast in His religion.
    ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيم [6] صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ [7]
    “Guide us along the Straight Path, the Path of those You have blessed—not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray.”[Surah al-Fatihah:6-7]

    The Story of Lut (Lot) - Ibn Kathir

    "Bismillah Ir Rahman Nir Raheem.
    I testify that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah And I testify that Muhammad (allallaho-Alaihe-Wa-Sallam) is his beloved servant and Messenger.......BismillahIr-Rahman,Ir-Raheem. I begin with ALLAH'sauspiciousness,whoseName is the Best among all the names. All Revences, All Sanctities and All Worships are due to ALLAH alone. Ashahadu An LaaillaahaillallahuWa Ash HaduAnna Muhammadan Abdu HuWaRasooluhu. ''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,Youare Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah,Showeryour blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly,Youare Praiseworthy and Glorious". I am Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) My way of lift and I am satisfied with Muhammad as Rasulallah(Messenger) sallallahu alaihi wa 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 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 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!.. Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi wa salam)left Egypt accompanied by his nephew Lut (
    Alayhi wa salam), who then went to the city of Sodom (Sadum), which was on the western shore of the Dead Sea.This city was filled with evil. Its residents waylaid, robbed and killed travelers. Another common evil among them was that men had sex with men instead of with women. This unnatural act later became known as sodomy (after the city of Sodom). It was practiced openly and unashamedly.
    It was at the height of these crimes and sins that Allah revealed to Prophet Lut (Alayhi wa salam) him that he should summon the people to give up their indecent behavior, but they were so deeply sunk in their immoral habits that they were deaf to Lot's(Alayhi wa salam) preaching. Swamped in their unnatural desires, they refused to listen, even when Lot(Alayhi wa salam) warned them of Allah's punishment. Instead, they threatened to drive him out of the city if he kept on preaching.
    Allah the Almighty revealed:
    "The people of Lot(Alayhi wa salam)(those dwelt in the towns of Sodom in Palestine) belied the Messengers when their brother Lot(Alayhi wa salam)said to them, 'Will you not fear Allah and obey Him? Verily! I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism) my reward is only from the Rabb of the 'alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). Go you in unto the males of the 'alamin (mankind), and leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your wives? Nay, you are a trespassing people!'
    "They said, 'If you cease not, O Lot(Alayhi wa salam)! Verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!'
    "He said, 'I am indeed, of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your (this evil) action (of sodomy). My Rabb! Save me and my family from what they do.'
    "So We saved him and his family, all except an old woman (this wife) among those who remained behind."
    Al-Qur'an 26:160-171
    The doings of Lot's(Alayhi wa salam) people saddened his heart. Their unwholesome reputation spread throughout the land, while he struggled against them. As the years passed, he persisted in his mission but to no avail. No one responded to his call and believed except for the members of his family, and even in his household, not all the members believed. Lot's(Alayhi wa salam) wife, like Noah's wife, a disbeliever.
    Allah the Almighty declared:
    "Allah set forth an example for those who disbelieve, the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot(Alayhi wa salam). They were under two of Our righteous slaves, but they both betrayed their (husbands, by rejecting their doctrines) so they (Noah & Lut(Alayhi wa salam)) benefited them (their respective wives) not, against Allah, and it was said, 'Enter the Fire along with those who enter!' "Al-Qur'an 66:10
    If home is the place of comfort and rest, then Lut(Alayhi wa salam) found none, for he was tormented both inside and outside his home. His life was continuous torture and he suffered greatly, but he remained patient and steadfast with his people. The years rolled by, and still not one believed in him. Instead, they belittled his message and mockingly challenged him:
    "Bring Allah's Torment upon us if you are one of the truthful!"Al-Qur'an 29:29
    Overwhelmed with despair, Lot(Alayhi wa salam) prayed to Allah to grant him victory and destroy the corrupt. Therefore, the angels left Ibrahim (Alayhi wa salam) and headed for Sodom the town of Lut(Alayhi wa salam) . They reached the walls of the town in the afternoon. The first person who caught sight of them was Lot's(Alayhi wa salam) daughter, who was sitting beside the river, filling her jug with water. When she lifted her face and saw them, she was stunned that there could be men of such magnificent beauty on earth.
    One of the tree men (angels) asked her, "O maiden, is there a place to rest?"
    Remembering the character of her people she replied, "Stay here and do not enter until I inform my father and return." Leaving her jug by the river, she swiftly ran home.
    "O father," she cried, "you are wanted by young men at the town gate and I have never before seen the like of their faces!"
    Lot(Alayhi wa salam) felt distressed as he quickly ran to his guests. He asked them where they came from and where they were going.
    They did not answer his questions. Instead they asked if he could host them. He started talking with them and impressed upon them the subject of his people's nature. Lot(Alayhi wa salam) was filled with turmoil; he wanted to convince his guests without offending them, not to spend the night there, yet at the same time he wanted to extend to them the expected hospitality normally accorded to guests. In vain he tried to make them understand the perilous situation. At last, therefore, he requested them to wait until the night fell, for then no one would see them.
    When darkness fell on the town, Lot(Alayhi wa salam) escorted his guest to his home. No one was aware of their presence. However, as soon as Lot's(Alayhi wa salam) wife saw them, she slipped out of the house quietly so that no one noticed her. Quickly, she ran to her people with the news and it spread to all the inhabitants like wildfire. The people rushed towards Lot(Alayhi wa salam) quickly and excitedly. Lot(Alayhi wa salam) was surprised by their discovery of his guests. and he wondered who could have informed them. The matter became clear, however, when he could not find his wife, anywhere, thus adding grief to his sorrow.
    When Lot(Alayhi wa salam) saw the mob approaching his house, he shut the door, but they kept on banging on it. He pleaded with them to leave the visitors alone and fear Allah's punishment. He urged them to seek sexual fulfillment with their wives, for that is what Allah had made lawful.
    Lot's(Alayhi wa salam) people waited until he had finished his short sermon, and then they roared with laughter. Blinded by passion, they broke down the door. Lot(Alayhi wa salam) became very angry, but he stood powerless before these violent people. He was unable to prevent the abuse of his guests, but he firmly stood his ground and continued to plead with the mob.
    At that terrible moment, he wished he had the power to push them away from his guests. Seeing him in a state of helplessness, and grief the guests said, "Do not be anxious or frightened, Lot(Alayhi wa salam) for we are angels, and these people will not harm you."
    On hearing this, the mob was terrified and fled from Lot's(Alayhi wa salam) house, hurling threats at him as they left. The angels warned Prophet Lut (Alayhi wa salam) to leave his house before sunrise, taking with him all his family except his wife.
    Allah had decreed that the city of Sodom should perish. An earthquake rocked the town. It was as if a mighty power had lifted the entire city and flung it down in one jolt. A storm of stones rained on the city. Everyone and everything was destroyed, including Lot's(Alayhi wa salam) wife.
    Allah the Almighty recounted this story:
    "And tell them about the guests (angels) of Ibrahm(Alayhi wa salam). When they entered unto him, and said, 'Salaman (peace)!' Ibrahim(Alayhi wa salam)said, 'Indeed! We are afraid of you.'
    "They (the angels) said, 'Do not be afraid! We give you glad tidings of a boy (son) possessing much knowledge and wisdom.' Ibrahm(Alayhi wa salam)) said, 'Do you give me glad tidings (of a son) when old age has overtaken me? Of what then is your news?' They (the angels) said, 'We give you glad tidings in truth. So be not of the despairing.'
    Ibrahim said, 'And who despairs of the Mercy of his Rabb except those who are astray?' (Ibrahim(Alayhi wa salam)again said, 'What then is the business on which you have come, O Messengers?'
    "They (the angels) said, 'We have been sent to a people who are mujrimin (criminals, disbelivers, polytheists, sinners). (All) except the family of Lot. Them all we are surely going to save (from destruction).'
    "Except his wife, of whom We have decreed that she shall be of the those who remain behind (she will be destroyed).
    "Then when the Messengers (the angels) came unto the family of Lot, he said, 'Verily! You are people unknown to me.' They said, 'Nay! we have come to you with that (torment) which they have been doubting. And we have brought to you the truth (the news of the destruction of your nation) and certainly, we tell the truth. Then travel in a part of the night with your family, and you go behind them in the rear, and let no one amongst you look back, but go on to where you are ordered.'
    "And We made known this decree to him, that the root of those (sinners) was to be cut off in the early morning.
    "The inhabitants of the city came rejoicing (at the news of the young men's arrival). Lot(Alayhi wa salam)said, 'Verily! These are my guests, so shame me not. And fear Allah and disgrace me not.' They (people of the city) said, 'Did we not forbid you to entertain (or protect) any of the 'alamin (people, foreigners strangers etc) from us?' Lot(Alayhi wa salam)said, 'These (the girls of the nation) are my daughters to marry lawfully if you must act so.'
    "Verily, by your life (O Muhammad), in their wild intoxication they were wandering blindly. So as-salihah (torment, awful cry, etc.) overtook them at the time of sunrise; and We turned (the towns of Sodom in Palestine) upside down and rained down on them stones of baked clay. Surely! In this are signs for those who see (or understand or learn the lessons from the Signs of Allah). And verily! They (the cities) are right on the highroad (from Makkah to Syria, i.e. the place where the Dead Sea is now). Surely! Therein is indeed a sign for the believers."
    Al-Qur'an 15:51-77
    Allah the Exalted also declared:
    "So we saved him and his family, all, except an old woman (his wife) among those who remained behind. Then afterward We destroyed the others. We rained on them a rain of torment. How evil was the rain of those who had been warned. Verily, in this is indeed a sign yet most of them are not believers. Verily! Your Rabb, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful."Al-Qur'an 26:170-175
    The book was closed on the people of Lot(Alayhi wa salam) . Their towns and names have been erased from the face of the earth. Gone are they from memory. One book was closed of the books of corruption.
    Lot(Alayhi wa salam) proceeded towards Abraham(Alayhi wa salam). He visited him, and when he recounted the story of his people, he was surprised to learn that Ibrahim(Alayhi wa salam) already knew. So Lut (Alayhi wa salam)continued to invite people to Allah, as did Abraham(Alayhi wa salam), the patient one who turned to Allah repentantly, and the two held firm to their mission.

    Tafsir of Surah Al-Hijr Ayah: 61-77 The Punishment of the People of Lot

    "Bismillah Ir Rahman Nir Raheem.
    I testify that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah And I testify that Muhammad (allallaho-Alaihe-Wa-Sallam) is his beloved servant and Messenger.......BismillahIr-Rahman,Ir-Raheem.

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!.. The transgressors and the wrongdoers are heedless. They do not think that they will be punished for their crimes and wrongdoings because of their complete indulgence in their whims, their belief that they will not be punished for their sins, and that they think that they can escape Allah’s punishment. They have such an attitude because of their weak understanding and because Satan deceives them. However, the punishment of Allah will inevitably take place no matter how long it may be late. This was the case of the people of Prophet Lot. They transgressed the limits set by Allah, disbelieved in their messenger, and insisted on disbelief. Therefore, Allah punished them severely.

    When the messengers came to the folk of Lot, [Q 15: 61]

    He said, ‘Indeed, you are an unfamiliar people. [Q 15: 62]

    They said, ‘Nay, but we have brought you what they have been doubting. [Q 15:63]

    And we have brought you the truth and we are surely truthful. [Q 15: 64]

    Set forth with your family during the night and walk behind them. Let not any of you look back and go to where you are commanded.’ [Q15:65]

    We revealed to him this decree: ‘The last remnants of those people would be wiped out in the morning.’ [Q15:66]

    The people of the city came rejoicing. [Q 15:67]

    He said, ‘Indeed, these are my guests. So do not disgrace me. [Q 15: 68]

    Fear Allah and do not humiliate me.’ [Q 15: 69]

    They said, ‘Have we not forbidden you to entertain anyone?’ [Q 15: 70]

    He said, ‘These are my daughters to marry if you want to do so.’

    [Q 15: 71]

    By your life, indeed they are wandering blindly in their heedlessness. [Q15: 72]

    Then the Cry overtook them at sunrise. [Q 15: 73]

    We turned it upside down and rained on them stones of baked clay. [Q15:74]

    Indeed, in that are signs for those who discern. [Q 15: 75]

    Indeed, it is on a frequently trodden road. [Q 15: 76]

    Surely in that is a sign for the believers. [Q 15: 77]



    Relationship with the Previous Part

    After narrating what happened between Prophet Ibrahim and his angelic guests, the surah narrates what happened between the angels and Prophet Lot and what the end of his people was.


    Tafsir

    When the messengers came to the folk of Lot, [Q 15: 61]

    He said, ‘Indeed, you are an unfamiliar people. [Q 15: 62]

    After the angelic messengers gave Prophet Ibrahim the good news of the birth of a knowledgeable son and their destination, they left him and went to the city of Prophet Lot and his people.
    The angels reached Prophet Lot’s city. When he saw them, he told them that he was unfamiliar with them because he did not see them before as well as he did not know why they came.
    Prophet Lot might feel uneasiness when he saw the angels, as he knew the sexual deviation of his people, namely, they were homosexual. He might fear that if his people knew about his guests, they might attack them and he could not defend them. The Quran refers to the anxiety that Prophet Lot felt when the angelic guests visited him, i.e. surah Hud: 77.


    They said, ‘Nay, but we have brought you what they have been doubting. [Q 15:63]

    And we have brought you the truth and we are surely truthful. [Q 15: 64]

    To relieve the fear of Prophet Lot, the angels told him that they did not come to annoy or hurt him. Rather, they came to implement the torment that his deviant people used to doubt and which he used to warn them about. The angels told Prophet Lot that they were truthful about what they told him.
    The fact that the angels emphatically told Prophet Lot that they brought him the truth and that they were truthful gives the impression that he was extremely sad when he saw them lest his people might practice homosexual intercourse with his guests and that he could not defend them.
    After reassuring Prophet Lot, the angels told him what Allah, Exalted be He, commanded them to inform him.


    Set forth with your family during the night and walk behind them. Let not any of you look back and go to where you are commanded.’ [Q15:65]

    The angels told Prophet Lot that he should leave the city with his believing followers during the last part of the night. They commanded him to walk behind his followers so that he would be certain that none of them remained behind as well as he would fully take care of them. Moreover, the angels commanded Prophet Lot and his followers not to look back to see the torment that would befall the deviant disobedient people. They were commanded not to look back when leaving the city because a person leaving his hometown usually looks back at it as if he is saying, ‘Goodbye.’
    […and go to where you are commanded.]

    The angels instructed Prophet Lot and his followers to go to the place where they were commanded to go. It was said that they were commanded to go to ash-Sham. Jordan or Egypt. In fact, there is no authentic narration that informs about the place where Prophet Lot and his followers were commanded to go.


    We revealed to him this decree: ‘The last remnants of those people would be wiped out in the morning.’ [Q15:66]

    ‘We revealed to him this decree.’ refers to the command to destroy the people of Lot.
    Allah revealed to Prophet Lot that He decreed that the disbelievers among his people would be destroyed in the morning. The torment of Allah would wipe out them and no one of them would remain.
    The context of the surah mentions first the punishment that would befall the people of Prophet Lot and their annihilation. Then it continues mentioning what happened when the people of Prophet Lot saw his guests.
    When the people of Prophet Lot heard about the coming of young handsome guests to Prophet Lot, they were greatly happy and excited about the enticing game they found.


    The people of the city came rejoicing. [Q 15:67]

    ‘The people of the city’ refers to the inhabitants of Sodom, the city of the people of Prophet Lot. When the people of Prophet Lot knew about the coming of young guests to the house of Prophet Lot, they went there rejoicing.
    Their reaction indicates that they reached an extreme extent of corruption, depravation, and deviation. They reached such a very low degree of immorality that they did not go to commit abominable obscenity individually. Rather, they all went together, rejoicing as if they found unlosable spoils.
    What was the reason for their rejoice and going to the house of Prophet Lot? It was committing a repugnant obscenity that no community committed before them, namely, homosexual intercourse. Indeed, when human souls become dissolute, they publicly commit lewd acts just like animals.
    Prophet Lot stood hopelessly before his people’s deviation, trying to protect his guests from their evils.


    He said, ‘Indeed, these are my guests. So do not disgrace me.’ [Q 15: 68]

    Fear Allah and do not humiliate me.’ [Q 15: 69]

    The people of Lot came hurriedly to his house when they knew about his guests to commit homosexual intercourse with them. Thus, Prophet Lot said, ‘O my people! These are my guests whom I should protect. Go out of my house. Do not disgrace me by attempting to commit homosexual intercourse with them. Fear Allah and do not humiliate me, as I am unable to protect them. You know that the honor of the guest is part of the honor of his host. Fear Allah lest His punishment should befall you.’
    Prophet Lot said, ‘my guests’ since he did not know that his guests were angels who came in the form of human beings.
    Instead of awakening traces of magnanimity in the souls of Lot’s people by his earnest appeal, they shamelessly reprimanded Prophet Lot for hosting those men. They reacted with him as if he was the criminal, who prepared the crime scene and forcefully drove them to commit it.


    They said, ‘Have we not forbidden you to entertain anyone?’ [Q 15: 70]

    The interrogation is for criticism. Insolently, the people of Lot said, ‘Have we not forbidden you to entertain anyone in your house? Have we not forbidden you to prevent us from practicing sex with men? How do you dare to prevent us from what we want to do with your guests though you know what we want from them?’
    Indeed, their reaction is the usual reaction of the tyrants everywhere throughout history. They shamelessly blame the righteous for their upright conduct as if they were the wrongdoers.
    Though the statement of Lot’s people was heinous, he did not lose hope and tried his best to defend his guests and prevent them from practicing homosexual intercourse with his guests.


    He said, ‘These are my daughters to marry if you want to do so.’

    [Q 15: 71]

    My daughters refer to married women and unmarried women, who are competent for marriage, in Lot’s tribe. Prophet Lot attributed the women to himself because every prophet is regarded as the father of his nation in respect of compassion and care. Some scholars say that Prophet Lot meant his daughters. Logically, his daughters would not be sufficient for a group of men, but the women of his tribe are many and would be sufficient for a group of men.
    […to marry if you want to do so.]

    This statement of Prophet Lot implies that he doubted that his people would accept marriage to satisfy their sexual desire, as they were corrupt and deviant. They favored unlawful sexual intercourse over lawful sexual intercourse.
    When Prophet Lot saw the excitement of his people and their insistence on committing homosexual intercourse with his guests, he guided his people to what agrees with sound human nature. Thus, he offered them to marry women from his tribe, who are regarded as his daughters.


    By your life, indeed they are wandering blindly in their heedlessness. [Q15: 72]

    The address in the ayah is to Prophet Muhammad. ‘O honored Prophet! I ‘Allah’ swear by your life that the disbelievers among your people are wandering blindly in their heedlessness, just like the deviant, misguided people before them, such as the people of Prophet Lot.’
    Abdul-Allah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, ‘Allah has not created a human being that is more honored by Him than Prophet Muhammad. I have never heard that Allah swore by the life of any person except by the life Prophet Muhammad. Allah, Exalted be He, said, ‘By your life, indeed they are wandering blindly in their heedlessness. [Q15: 72]
    The statement was addressed to the Prophet Muhammad amidst the story of Prophet Lot. It implied consolation to Messenger Muhammad to show him that admonition is useless with corrupt people.
    Then the story the people of Prophet Lot is concluded with mentioning their horrible end.


    Then the Cry overtook them at sunrise. [Q 15: 73]

    We turned it upside down and rained on them stones of baked clay. [Q15:74]

    After Lot and his followers left their city, a horrible cry from heaven came. It annihilated the corrupt people at sunrise. Allah, the Able, turned upside down their city and rained on its deviant people stones of baked clay that destroyed them all.
    We revealed to him this decree: ‘The last remnants of those people would be wiped out in the morning.’ [Q15:66] This Ayah mentions that the torment began to befall the people of Lot in the morning [Then the Cry overtook them at sunrise.] [Q 15: 73] This ayah mentions that their destruction ended at sunrise.
    In sum, the torment of the people of Lot included a horrible cry that turned upside down their city and rain of stones of back clay.
    Then the ayat mention some lessons from the story of Prophets Ibrahim and Lot.


    Indeed, in that are signs for those who discern. [Q 15: 75]

    Indeed, there are clear signs and proofs, denoting the excellent end of the obedient and horrible end of the disobedient deviant people, in the stories of Prophets Ibrahim and Lot for people who perceptively discern and ponder on facts and events. They use their contemplation to find out the right path and follow it.
    The ayah implies criticism to people who see signs and proofs, indicating the Oneness of Allah and His perfect ability, but they do not learn lessons from them because of their corrupt souls and heedless minds.


    Indeed, it is on a frequently trodden road. [Q 15: 76]

    The city of Sodom where the people of Lot lived is located along a frequently trodden road between Hejaz and ash-Sham.
    The intended meaning is to remind the people of Prophet Muhammad, who used to pass by this destroyed city and every deviant people of the horrible end of the deviant corrupt people so that they stop disbelieving in Allah and they learn lessons from what happened to former disbelieving nations and embrace Islam.


    Surely in that is a sign for the believers. [Q 15: 77]

    The ayah gives a general statement about what is mentioned in the previous part, namely, the stories of Prophet Ibrahim and Lot.
    Indeed, what is mentioned earlier denotes the happy end of the believers and the evil end of the disbelievers for the truthful believers. They benefit from the lessons and admonitions.


    Learned Lessons from Surah al-Hijr Ayah 61-77

    • Prophet Lot did not know that his guests were angels just as Prophet Ibrahim did not know their real identities.
    • It is not recommended to remain for a long time in a place where Allah destroyed the disbelieving nations. When passing by such places, one should hurry because they are places where the anger of Allah befell the disbelievers.
    • Allah, Exalted be He, prohibited Prophet Lot and his followers from looking back to see the torment befalling their people so that they would not sympathize with them, hurry in their walk, and leave the city before morning.
    • The insistence of the people of Lot on committing homosexual intercourse was conclusive proof of their disbelief, misguidance, and deviation.
    • When Prophet Lot told his people to marry women from his tribe, he instructed them to practice lawful sexual relationship and avoid unlawful sexual relationship.
    • Allah, Exalted be He, swore by the life of Prophet Muhammad. This indicates his great rank with Allah.
    • The punishment of the people of Lot was a horrible cry. It befell them at dawn, turning their city upside down and pelting rain of stones of baked clay on them.
    • The stories of Prophets Ibrahim and Lot have lessons and admonitions for people to reflect on the proofs and signs of Allah and learn from them.

    The Honor and the Dignity of the Human being! (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 upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have Shower 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 My 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 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!..... Has not the Time arrived for the Believers that their hearts in all humility should engage in the remembrance of Allah and of the Truth which has been revealed (to them), and that they should not become like those to whom was given Revelation aforetime, but long ages passed over them and their hearts grew hard? For many among them are rebellious transgressors.
    He(ALLAH) starts the ayat with an address to the "believers", hinting that what is required thereafter is a consequence of that name with which they are addressed.
    This is similar to saying: "You whom Allah has favored and enriched with His bounties, be good to others as Allah has been good to you." And like, "Learned men, teach people what would benefit them." And, "Ruler, rule with justice."
    Allah describes the believers in surat Al-Mu’meneen (The Believers), verse 8 as:
    “Those who are faithfully true to their Amanat (all the duties which Allah has ordained, honesty, moral responsibility and trusts) and to their covenants” Four characteristics belong to a believer: when he speaks, he speaks the truth: when he is trusted, he fulfils his trust; when he makes a promise, he abides by his promise; and when he is in dispute with anyone, he does not use obscene words (but sticks to the truth).
    Narrated Hudhaifa: Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said to us, "Honesty descended from the Heavens and settled in the roots of the hearts of men (faithful believers), and then the Quran was revealed and the people read the Quran, (and learnt it, and learnt from it) and also learnt it from the Sunna." Both Quran and Sunnah strengthened (the faithful believers') honesty... In this time that we are living in where the kafirs( the disbelievers) are honor and the believers are disgrace! This is that time when the most wicked of men will be (is) in the leadership over the muslim Ummah. this is that evil time where the most wicked of men will appear to be the most righteous of men and the righteous will appear to be wicked. Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman said, 'The hypocrites of today are worse than those of the lifetime of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), because in those days they used to do evil deeds secretly but today they do such deeds openly.' Narrated Abi Asha'sha: Hudhaifa said, 'In fact, it was hypocrisy that existed in the lifetime of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) but today it is Kufr (disbelief) after belief.'
    -----Narrated Ma'qil: Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "If any ruler having the authority to rule Muslim subjects dies while he is deceiving them, Allah will forbid Paradise for him." From Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu 'anhu) who said that ALLAH's Rasulallah (salallaahu 'alaihi wa'sallam) said: There will come upon the people years of deceit in which the liar will be believed, the truthful disbelieved, the treacherous will be trusted and the trustworthy held to be treacherous.
    Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “When honesty is lost,
    then wait for the Hour. ”It was asked, “How will honesty be lost, Ya Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)?” He said, “When authority is given to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour.”” [Al-Bukhari]-- Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)"-----The trustworthy will not be trusted and the liar will be believed. People will not remain loyal even to their blood relatives….
    One of The first thing they(the enemies of ALLAH) do is to Target us and then work to destroy our characters with lies creating mistrust among the people, Then they work to set us up and frame us. And all any people have to do is ask one Question? What has this person done wrong? Their Answer is he is a Muslim and he wear those Islamic clothes and we think he's going to do something wrong!(PURE UNADULTERATED IGNORANCE!!!) from the most ignorant of organization!(F.B.I) They will find any excuse to kill a Muslim! The people should just say this is still America! And he has the right to wear any clothes he pleases! This may not be the America that we think it is! It is a society developing into an electronics police state Very Similarly to the East Germany police state of the 1960's and 70's. And the same kind of spying that existed then exist now, with more advanced technology!
    But on a greater magnitude, people cannot use the restroom unless there are cameras watching what They do! This suggest that American citizens are highly vulnerable to these attacks on our rights to personal privacy. And when the question is ask why are there cameras in the restroom? Their answer is it is for security reasons! But the truth of the matter is that surveillance cameras in the restroom is an invasion of the most personal Privacy!----Mass surveillance is widely criticized as a violation of privacy rights, for limiting civil and political rights and freedoms, and for being illegal under some legal or constitutional systems. There is a fear that ever increasing mass surveillance will ultimately lead to a totalitarian state where political dissent is undermined by *COINTELPRO*-like programs. Such a state may also be referred to as a surveillance state or an electronic police state. This same thing exist in the Muslim Ummah! And when the question is as why are there secret Surveillance cameras in the Masjids, their answer is that it is for security reasons! And the Question is did you ask the Muslims people permission to have surveillance cameras installed? Security cameras is one thing and Surveillance cameras are another! And why is it that these cameras are connected to These secret agencies, secret organizations who are against Islam! We find it rather interesting that many of these people who are over the masjids in Houston, tx and in America are Masons (The open enemies of ALLAH)(NOTE If you are a mason, a Magician, or a sorcerers among the Muslims, YOU ARE A KAFIR!!!!) These are the same secret organizations who are setting Muslim up and killing us in the street. For no other reason than that because we are believers in ALLAH and the last day. And we are wearing our Islamic clothes, In a society of hate mongers, But they do not hate filth, wickedness or corruption. These wicked people are just like their forefathers! Yesterday it was because we were dark in color, today it's because we are Muslims! What is it going to be in 20 years from now? We are Real Muslims who were born in America,who know and understand what ISLAM calls for obedience to ALLAH and His Messenger Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)!!! These kafirs in this society They are beings threatened by good moral principles and good behavior! If it not wicked, if it not filths, If it is not corrupted and If it not homosexual then they do not want any part of it. Their plans is to make every man in this society a homosexual and every woman a lesbian even by force! "O You open enemies of ALLAH! You do not have the right to force or pressure anyone to be a homosexual or a lesbian, in the work places or in the schools or universities or in the neighborhoods or in the places of worship!.. Their Philosophy is that they don't know Islam, and they don't want to know Islam, if they can not understand the Good Muslims people, If they can not dominate the Good Muslims people, If they can not control the Good Muslims people. Then they have to try to Destroy us.(This is the philosophy of the ignorant) First they try to destroy our characters in the eyes of the people of the world, then they work to destroy our inherent dignity as Men, then they work to destroy our dignity as Muslims, ALLAH has dignified the human being again by giving him Islam! Then they work to destroy our dignity as human beings, our inherent dignity. Then after that they hope to leave us as an empty shell just a reflection of men, just a reflection of a human beings. just a images of a man or human being, but no man or human being is left in that body!
    That! Inherent dignity that ALLAH has Given us that make us men and human beings this is what they want to destroy, this is the work of Satan! This is Blind ignorance and Blind arrogance, that also leads to Blind actions and Blind actions leads to blind Destruction. With No respect for human worth or the dignity of the human being .This is the epitome of ignorance! This is what this society is developing into a society of wild creatures, who appear to be human but act worse than animals.
    Their behaviors displays the marked of the people of Lut and the people pompey-pompeii, And perhaps they too may suffer the same fate! This is so because the people are acting in such ways that is beyond the imagination, this would truly be the road that ends all goodness and with such a consequent that collapse of all morals, and of moral consciousness, that people are forgetting their human status, their human worth.
    As for the people who stand with and support these wicked people,your position is clear! and you
    say that they have the right to comitted wickedness on this Earth, You are against Islam! You are against the Quranic teaching! ALLAH has destroyed a whole people because of their wicked behavior! You have forgot that the Imam Mahdi is coming and You will "NOT" be with His Army!( IshaALLAH!) Because you will be the first to deny him, and you will be the first to fight against him, because your ego will not allow you to follow such a righteous and ALLAH fearing Man! Because you will find faults in everything he does ! Because he donot have a master degree in this or a master degree in that! Or a phd in this field! or a phd in that field! so how can he leaded you any where? That is your thanking! Yes you have a master's degree in this field and a Phd in that field, and yet your ego will not allow you to come in to true humility be for ALLAH,or the Sunnah of Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) or to humble your heart before the exalted words of ALLAH,(The Quran) ALLAH said of his book, This is a book of exalted power!The Quran has the power to melted the hearts of Men and to humble their hearts, if thoes hearts are reaching out to the words of ALLAH! And ALLAH is the best knower of all things, And the witness to all things!

    What's to be expected from a Sick Society and a Sick World?

    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

    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!

You have created Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) to be the most truthful of men and what He(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) has said is the absolute truth!———————————Bismillah Ir Rahman Ir Raheem-
    {6:110}We (too) shall turn to (confusion) their hearts and their eyes, even as they refused to believe in this in the first instance: We shall leave them in their trespasses, to wander in distraction. { 6:111}Even if We did send unto them angels, and the dead did speak unto them, and We gathered together all things before their very eyes, they are not the ones to believe, unless it is in Allah's plan. But most of them ignore (the truth).
    ---(30:41)Corruption, Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that (Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil).
    ----------------What's to be expected from a society that plays host to the real satan (eblis - The Satan in the flash(The Dajjal-Antichrist)? But insanity or madness the whole society is going insane! The very fact that this Evil is real will drive any society and the World to madness! They have incurred divine displeasure by rejecting the signs of Allah and by entertaining the chief enemy of ALLAH! The Dajjal! -There has always been a serious flaws in the way that these ignorant people of America think!, Seeing the World one sided! A society that puts no value on the human being! But puts great value on color and race! -Now that thinking has driven them to madness! ---A society that is so blindly ignorant and blindly arrogant and blindly stupid and so sick that it has gone completely mad! This Madness in this world and in this Society is a collective madness that is like a plague or a punishment that has descended from heaven! This is a trial and a punishment that has befallen this world and this Society, it has comes to all the people! A trial for the Muslim people and part of the punishment for the Non-Muslim!
    -What you foolish people have for gotten is one most important thing that there is ONE who control all things and that is ALLAH! And to incurred His divine displeasure is a serious mistake!!---In the name of Allah , the Entirely Merciful, the Especially. Merciful {59:22}He is Allah, than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
    {59:23}He is Allah, than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah! (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him. { 59:24}He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.------------ {ALLAH! do not have take your wealth from you or He do not have to take your power from you, in order to punish you! ALLAH can give you more, but you will only used that wealth and power against yourselves! ----All ALLAH has to do is removed your sanity! As He has done and that will be apart of your punishment!---
    Any right minded, right thinking society knows that when another society and its government goes wrong in it thinking, goes insane--once that happen it only increases in its madness day by day and the behavior of the people becomes more and more insane! Any outside observer would recognize that this is the path of destruction for that society and its people and for the World!
    --------When a society goes insane 3 things may occur ! It might destroy it self or a Natural catastrophic disaster occur(like the ancient people of Pompeii!) or a weaker force come in and take it over! This society is like the ones whom the Evil one by his touch Hath driven to madness. Every aspect of this society is going insane! The Satan( the Dajjal) is replacing one puppet in leadership of the Government with another! One he can do more damage with! Their Governmental political systems has gone insane! Their Judicial system has gone insane! Making crazy laws that donot make cents and do more harm than benefits) Their economic system has gone insane! If indeed this plague of insanity is the punishment of ALLAH!(divine chastisement)Than It will reach every households in America and the world! And only the cities of Makkah and Madinah will not be affected and those who truly believe in ALLAH and the last day! And the only exception to this madness is the people who are the ALLAH Fearing or (The God Fearing)! So O Muslim People Fear ALLAH!... O God Fearing people of America and the World, and of other faiths Fear ALLAH as He should be feared!....
    O people of the Book! O people of other faiths! Fear ALLAH! Fear God Almighty (The creator of everything and All things) as he should be feared!
    In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
    1:Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
    2:Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
    3:He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
    4:And there is none like unto Him.
    ----He(ALLAH) by His mercy(isha allah) may spare you this punishment of insanity! And He(ALLAH) has said of you in The Holy Quran,which was revealed to Prophet Muhammad(Sallallahu alayhi wa salam)14 centuries ago!
    (5:82) Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. (5:83) And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger(Sallallahu alayhi wa salam), thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: "Our Rabb(lord)! We believe; write us down among the witnesses. (5:84) "What cause can we have not to believe in Allah and the truth which has come to us, seeing that we long for our Rabb (Lord) to admit us to the company of the righteous?" (5:85) And for this their prayer hath Allah rewarded them with gardens, with rivers flowing underneath,- their eternal home. Such is the recompense of those who do good….. {Now live up to that which ALLAH has said about you!}…..
    It is Allah's right over His servants(over mankind ) that they fear Him as He ought to be feared. Allah says: “O you who believe! Fear Allah as He ought to be feared and do not die except as believers.” [ Sûrah Âl `Imrân : 102]
    ALLAH had called upon all people in every era to fear Him. Allah says: “And We had enjoined upon those who were given the Scripture before(the Christian and the Jews ) – as well as yourselves(We Muslim people) – to fear Allah.” [ Sûrah al-Nisâ' : 131]---Allah says: “It is only those who have knowledge among Allah's servants who fear Him.” [ Sûrah Fâtir : 28]---Those who fear ALLAH are those who know that Allah is capable of all things.” And it is said: The only people who (fear ALLAH) are those who know ALLAH's Power, ALLAH's Might, and His dominion, Over The Heavens, the Earth and He is the Rabb (Lord) of the Tremendous Throne and all that exists .” Ibn Kathîr says in his commentary of this verse: “The only people who fear Allah in the true sense are those who are knowledgeable about Allah. This is because the more knowledge a person has about the Almighty, the All-Powerful and All-Knowing, who possesses the attributes of perfection and the best of names – the more perfect and complete this knowledge is – the greater and more total his fear of Allah will be.” [ Tafsîr Ibn Kathîr ]----- The second way that the fear of Allah and knowledge are related stems from the fact that the fear of Allah is to seek to prevent Allah's punishment by carrying out Allah's commands and abstaining from His prohibitions. Consequently, a Muslim needs to have knowledge of these matters in order to fear Allah properly. An ignorant Muslim may have a sense of fear, but he will not be able to fully carry out what that fear requires of him.---Ibn `Abbâs said: “To have knowledge of the Most Merciful is to be someone who associates nothing as a partner with Him, who deems lawful what He has made lawful, who prohibits what He has prohibited, who preserves what He has enjoined upon him, and who has certainty that he shall meet Him and that his actions will be accounted for.”---- One should seek Islamic knowledge especially knowledge of Allah's attributes. By possessing knowledge of Allah's attributes one will not be misled by the Dajjal or the wicked people. This knowledge teaches that Allah is perfect, can't be seen, and not in need of anything while the Dajjal is imperfect, can be seen by both believers and non-believers and in need of food and water. ---So O Muslim people Fear ALLAH as He should be feared! And prepare to make hijrah! Those people in leadership who are encouraging the Muslim Ummah to stay in America have betrayed Islam long ago! They and the Jews and the Masons who speaks the Arabic language, who can recite the Quran in Arabic who have Arabic names ,who pretended to be Muslim among us. But in reality they are the enemies of ALLAH,the enemies of Islam and the enemies of this Ummah and the enemies of the Amreica people! These are the ones who are the which dogs of the greater enemy the dajjal! Now the time has ran out and this evil has taken over this society and it is orveist that this Government and its people have gone mad!--- As For the poor muslim people,Who have nothing and no where to go! And no one to help us but ALLAH! We hope that ALLAH will make away out for us!
    (65:2-3)And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out,(3)

    And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion. As for the Rich so called Muslim People it is their choice to stay in and on this ship called America! But in reality it is the Titanic!That will collide with Destiny! ---------This is that dark period of time, of Great deception and ignorance! Where the most ignorant and wicked of men will be in the leadership over the Governments of the World! Where the bad people will appear to be (good) or righteous and the good people will appear to be bad or wicked!------- This is that time when the entire leadership of the world is deceitful(They smile in our faces! But they are planning our destruction! And non of these world Leaders can come out and say that We are working hard in the Hope of bringing the world to a peaceful state!-Because Many of these world leaders are being blackmailed into submission and silence by the same people who has the entire World under surveillance! And some of these world leader are just to weak to stand up for justice, even though they are leaders of Nations! And Not one of these world Leaders are asking the questions when will the violence in the world cease or when will this killing STOP??? These world Leaders do not want the world in a peaceful state! They cannot see any benefit in that! They can only see benefit in greed, power, turmoil, chaos, tyranny, oppression and the destruction of human life! As long as these evils are going on. They are happy! -And In every region in the world blood is being shedded in great volumes! And all the world Leaders share in this responsibility for the blood that being spilled. Because In every region of the world the root of every rebellion is injustice-by the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer that these world leaders have allowed to happen!

    Surat Al-'Anfal (The Spoils of War)-Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem [8:30]Remember how the Unbelievers plotted against thee, to keep thee in bonds, or slay thee, or get thee out (of thy home). They plot and plan, and Allah too plans; but the best of planners is Allah.[8:31] There will be a world war 3! Because it is written that such a war would exist! The war that will end all wars. But not the way they planned it! Because their way is not the way of ALLAH! Their way is the way of satan! It is Madness to think that these people can plain the destruction of the human race than sit back and laugh about it! That is why they are pushing so hard for World war 3! Because they have already a plan of survival that do not include the common people, it is not going to work, the way you have planned it! -----------------------Many of these world Governments and this Government of U.S.A. and a great majority of its people have become Reckless and defiance before ALLAH! -O You ignorant disbelieving people! If you think that you can lived a life of disobedience and reject Islam, reject the commandments of ALLAH and reject The Sunnah of Rasulullah(Sallahu alayhi wa salam) -You underestimate the power of ALLAH!-ALLAH can strip this entire society and this World of its sanity over night and the world would wake up the next morning and see itself and its time as the worst time that ever existed! And this would be justice! Because the world that you live in is against what is right for the human being! Your way said it's alright to destroy the dignity of the human being!
    It alright to have million and million people hunger and impoverished in world! It all right to destroy the environment! Its alright to have great volumes of blood being shedded in the world!-O World Leaders remember the panama papers!Where are you going to spend those billions and billions dollars that you have stolen from Your own government, from Your own people ? With the stolen money many of these World leaders are living lavish lifestyles of the elites while the general population of their own people languishes in poverty!We know that money represent political power and authority in the Land, in the World, in the Earth!
    ---But where are you going to spend it? When You intend to destroy 2 third of this Earth! That in itself shows the insanity of your thinking!
    If this is our imagination! Then why don't they (The World Leaders) All come together and work on a program to re-establish peace in the world. You as a collective body of World leaders holds in your mortal hands the power, the means and the ability to abolish all forms of human poverty…. So why you are not working for peace in the world? Because they see nothing in that! They don't want to see unity and peace in the World or in America! -Think! A divided America ,a racially divided America, a socially divided America is a weak America and they know that! They see nothing wrong with a weak America!- The people of America and the people of world need to take a closer look at these World leaders and these secret agencies and see them as they really are!
    If the current spiral of fitan (plural of Fitnah - madness, mischief, evil, anarchy) that has engulfing America and the nations of the world, and the entire world in general, and this Ummah in particular,We cannot arouse the Muslims from their villainous slumber and jolt them out of their indulgence in immorality and transgression, no amount of dreams or imagination of the pious or the Good people will avail. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) warning the Ummah, said that when Amr Bil Ma'roof Nahyi Anil Munkar (Commanding virtue and prohibiting vice) is abandoned, then Allah Ta'ala will appoint over us such brutal tyrants who will show no mercy to our little ones and no respect to our elders. The brutality and humiliation is the direct consequences of our disobedience, misdeeds and rebellion before ALLAH! -This Madness will hem all mankind in, disfigure and mutilate all members of this Ummah and the people of the world, be they infants, children, adults, men, women, the pious and the impious. No one will be spared because the people of the world have incur the wrath and anger of Allah and it falls on this Ummah and the World. In this regard, the Qur'aan Majeed states: "Beware of such a Fitnah (Divine Punishment) which will not only overtake the transgressors among you!." At such a time of universal Athaab, (Divine Punishment).Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that your pious(The Good people) will supplicate (make Dua), but their Duas will go unheeded. It should be well understood that when the Athaab of Allah Ta'ala(the Punishment of ALLAH) overtakes a community or a society or the World! Overtakes the nations of the world -then Duas and Dhikr, whilst drowning will not avail. Duas at this time will not avert the Athaab, the punishment. The Divine Chastisement will run its ordained course. Even the pious and the Ulama will be overtaken by the disastrous punishment of Allah Ta'ala, which assumes a variety of forms such as the appearance of the dajjal, Madness in the people, killing and killing ,earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, fire, pestilence, volcano eruptions, drought, famine, Great internecine warfare (Muslims killing Muslims), and the imposition of kuffaar to unleash brutality and genocide on the entire world. All of these effects are being observed daily in our times. But no one heeds these palpable Signs of Qiyaamah and their immediate consequences which are being enacted in real life, in our lifetime and which we observe and experience whilst we are fully awake. The world leaders are silent on this issues of the state of awakefulness and the physical presence of the dajjal is a great trial on the entire world. Their focus is more on their plan to bring about world war 3 and trying to cover up the very the presence of the dajjal. When the Warnings of the Qur'aan and Ahaadith which are materializing daily around us are inadequate to shake us and make us alert, what will dreaming or hiding the reality of life achieve? [NOTHING!] The Qur'aan and the Ahaadith tell us considerably more than the vague illusions of dreams. When the Fitan-Fitnah mentioned in the Ahadith and the madness in this world, which is unfolding in rapid succession are unable to arouse us from our slumber and unable to create in us the necessary fear of ALLAH!, The necessary awareness and concern for our moral reformation and for our own submission to ALLAH's Command and for the adoption of the Sunnah, what hope is there to create in the Muslim Ummah a stirring which could revolutionize or rejuvenate the thinking, the Imaan(Faith), and the morality of Muslims? The Hope is in ALLAH! In His words! In the Sunnah of Rasulullah(Sallallahu alayhi wa salam) And in the Din of ALLAH! And its going to take The Nur (The Light) of the Holy Quran that will to inspire the hearts of the believers that will (ishaallah)bring the Muslim people through trial! ----- Not By dreaming or covering up the realities of life that is before our faces!- "Say: I exhort you only to one thing, that you rise up for Allah's sake in twos and singly, then ponder; there is no madness in your fellow citizen (Muhammad(sallallahu alayhi wasallam); he is only a warner to you before a severe chastisement." [Al-Qur'an 34:46]-O Muslim people! The days of dreaming of a better world is over! We have to make this a better world or face The Divine Chastisement or be destroyed! ALL the people who dreams and had great vision (The Great visionaries of the pass!) Who dream of a better world has long since gone. Now all world has is the most dangerous, reckless and ignorant people standing in position of leadership with guns! The world has never seen such ignorant before ! And if we look back through every period of American history, the most dangerous, ignorant and reckless people have always had guns.
    These people in official positions who are carry firearms need a psychological evaluation every 90 days! That is the only way to weed out those dangerous people who would kill for no reason! This would be for the federal, the state and the local official nationwide who carry firearms. If these people in authority cannot see the logic in that! Than the responsibility for people being killed is on them! --- Otherwise why wait until they kill somebody that they hate or because they just want to kill somebody! These people in authority don’t know what's going on in the minds and hearts of these other official people who carry firearms each and every day! There is too many people who put no value human life, All lives matter! All lives matter! Whether it is the ordinary citizen or the people in official position! But when a society has gone mad nothing matter! And that is the reality that we are facing!-----(RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam says between approaching the Day of Judgment will be a time will come when Haraj would be widespread. The Sahaabah asked RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam what does Haraj mean- RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam told them it means killing. lives of people would be cheap. RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam says the minds of the people in that time would be taken away and they will be lowly people who think that they are following something and they are following nothing. They think that they are following the religion of Allah but they are not following anything. They will have weak brains,weak Minded people who are killing each other like this, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said they do not have their minds with them. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam ) says in the Hadith narrated by Muslim, that a time will come when the killer will not know why he killed and the person who was killed will not know why he was killed. So a person is going out and killing and he doesn't know why he is killing and the person who was killed doesn't know why he lost his life. RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam was asked how can that happen. RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam says that will be the time of Haraj, that will be a time of widespread killing and then RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: The one who kills and the killed are both in Hellfire'. The one who was killed and the killer are both in Hellfire, why? Because everyone wants to kill everyone else. Even though the person is killed himself, but he had the intention of going out and killing others and this is a time of Fitnah. It is a time when things are unclear and people have taken the Rooh, the soul lightly, and they spill blood freely. ) They(the people) will have weak brains, the people who are killing each other like this, RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said they do not have their minds with them.(Commentary)These people! These people of the world and in America who are doing the Killing! These people are under the influence of the Dajjal! And they do not have their own minds with them, they have become insane! And these killings in America are not random, these killing have a design, a direction and a purpose! They want to kill off 90% of the world's population and they want to do the same thing in America!(It is called genocide! A Slow and Systematic Genocide, but genocide never the less!) They want to get rid of the people whom they consider worthless, that have no value and serves no purpose! That make no contribution to the world's Societies or to the America society! They called them the do nothing people! Their claim is that these people are a burden on the world's societies! But the truth of the matter is that the people with the Guns and the secret agencies are the burden on the world's societies!

    In seeking Nearness to 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 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.
    Ya ALLAH! Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. Ya 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!..... In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful. The Ultimate aim of the journey of a believer is to get close to ALLAH. To have a position with Him that is Special. It is the cherished goal and hope of all those who love ALLAH. Life in this world is a journey towards that goal. Every action carried out, every deed performed is a step forward in that direction. Human beings have been given life in this world, as an opportunity to achieve the pleasure of ALLAH, to serve and worship Him and to achieve nearness to Him. The One in whose Hand is the guidance guides him to this most important thing that he seek: the nearness, the closeness to ALLAH! And the practice of the Sunnah. This seeking to draw near to ALLAH and the Practice of the Sunnah is a Islamic duty on everyone at all times-it is the thing that ALLAH ta'ala requires from His 'Ibad(Slaves). The holy Quran says about the believers who enjoy a special position with ALLAH: Successful indeed are the believers who are humble in Prayers,and who keep aloof from what is vain, and who are givers of the zakat (poor-rate)...(23:1-3) Those only are believers whose Hearts become full of awe when ALLAH is mentioned, and when His words are recited to them, they increase them in Iman(faith), and in their Rabb do they trust.(8:2). In a hadith there occurs that Shaytan is like a wolf to people. Just as when a sheep has no protector and is in between many wolves, they are quick in causing damage and injury; likewise the servant who does not have guardianship from Allah, then his wolf [i.e. his desires, whims, etc.] is to him a predatory animal. Thus there is no escape for the servant from having protection from Allah. Taqwa is a safeguarding for him and a strong shield between himself and the punishment of this World and the Hereafter. Every time the sheep is close to its shepherd it is more safe from the wolf and every time it becomes distant from its shepherd it is closer to destruction. So its sanctuary is when it is close to its shepherd because the wolf takes the lonely one from the flock and this is the one which is the furthest one of the flock from the shepherd. The Satan and his friends, the human devils who pretended to be Muslims, but in reality they are the enemies of ALLAH have targeted many believing Muslims people to separate us from the Ummah, right before his own faces! We go to the masjid, but the enemy is right there they know the hadith and they know The Quran. They hate to listen to the recording of the Quran being played in the masjid! They hate to see a studious muslim in the masjid, They want to see the Muslim people, the Ummah ignorant! They want to take us far away from the worship of ALLAH! Throug against h powerful black magic and voodoo, and only the enemies of ALLAH would use such evil against the beliving muslim people!
    The basis of all of this is is that every time the heart is distant from Allah the harmful things are quick in approaching it and every time it is close to Allah the harmful things become distant from it. Thus when a person flees unto Allah, he would be fleeing unto him from a thing that occurred by His Will. In other words, he would be fleeing from Him unto Him! One who understands this well can then understand the meaning of Rasulallah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) words: " ... I seek protection from You in You ...And: " ... There is no shelter or escape from You except in You ...There is nothing in the universe that one would flee or seek protection from but is created and originated by Allah ta'ala. Hence, one would flee from that which emanates from Allah's decree, will, and creation, to that which emanates from His mercy, goodness, kindness, and bounty. One is, therefore, fleeing from Allah unto Him, and seeking refuge in Him from Him! Understanding these two matters causes one's heart to stop being attached to other than Allah in fear, hope or love. He would then know that all that he flees from exists by the Allah's will, power and creation. This would not leave in his heart any fear of other than his Creator and Maker. This in turn causes him to seek nearness to Allah alone in fear, love and hope. The following hadith qudsi show how close the relationship between ALLAH and the human being can be. ALLAH says: when I find out that a person remember Me frequently, I will Look after his affairs, become his company, speak with him, and become his intimate friend. Whenever I know My servant is frequently engaged in remembering Me, I will make him desire to pray and whisper to Me. When My servant becomes such, I will prevent him from any wrongdoing when he decided upon it. Those are My true Friends. If I intend to destroy the earth and punish men, I will forego destruction and punishment for their sake. Nearness-Closeness and distance. The first degree of Nearness is the Nearness to obedience toward ALLAH and the state of being always engaged in His worship. This nearness to ALLAH can only be found through obedience to Him and obedience to his Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam). in simple terms, mediation or Tawassul is anything which becomes a means that is acceptable to ALLAH in gaining nearness to ALLAH. In its general Islamic meaning, eveything which takes us near Our Rabb is Mediation. Therefore all good deeds such as Faith in ALLAH and Faith in his Nabi(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), Prayers, fasting, Hajj, and other deeds serve as mediators that draw us nearer to ALLAH. For instance, when it is said 'wa wassala ila ALLAH", it means to perform a certain act for gaining nearness to ALLAH. Accordingly Wasil here means being 'desirous of ALLAH'. wasila is a means of imploring in order to gain nearness to ALLAH through good deeds and abstaining from sins. for example when it is said"wasala ila kadha", it means a thing through which nearness is gained. This is the best means by which one seeks nearness to ALLAH, The Glorified, The Exalted.Also in seeking nearness, is the belief in Him and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), fighting in his cause- for it is the High pinnacle of Islam-and (to Believe) in the Kalimaatul-Ikhlas(the Expression of Divine Purification) for it is just nature, and the establishment of Prayer for it is(the basis of) community, payment of Zakat(Islamic charity) for it is a compulsory obligation, fasting in the month of ramadan for it is the Shield against chastisement, the Performance of hajj of the House of ALLAH and it Umrah(other than annual visit) for these two acts banish poverty and wash away sins, the regard for kinship for it increases wealth and Length of Life, to give alms secretly for it covers shortcomings, giving alms(charitable donations ) openly for it protects against a bad death, and extending benefits(to people) for it saves from positions of Disgrace. .As for distance, this means to be sullied by the violation of His will and to be removed from obeying Him. The first degree of distance is distance from ALLAH's speech, the Words of ALLAH, The holy Quran, which is followed by the distance from His Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the attainment of His Mercy. In other words, distance from ALLAH's speech means distance from attainment His mercy . Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that ALLAH subhana wa ta'ala said: "[My servant] draws near Me through nothing more than that which I have made obligatory for him. My servant never ceases drawing nearer to Me through supererogatory works until he loves Me and I love him. Then, when I love him, I become his sight and hearing through which he hears and sees .The Nearness-The Closeness of the servant [to ALLAH begins with [his]Nearness to the faith in ALLAH and the confirmation of His Truthfulness. This is followed by the Nearness to good deeds and the realization [of the Divine Truth]. As for ALLAH's Closeness or Nearness [to His servant], it is the divine knowledge that ALLAH bestows upon the Hearts of His servants and the sense of perceiving the Present of ALLAH in our Lives and the contemplation and witnessing [of Himself] that He will grant us in the world to come. It is also various expressions of kindness ,mercy and beneficence that ALLAH will bestow [upon the us] between now and then. The servant's nearness to ALLAH is impossible unless he distances himself from worldly desires. This Nearness to ALLAH includes abandoning what He(ALLAH) dislikes and doing what He Loves and accepts. the Hearts of the believers seeking nearness include Love for ALLAH,reliance upon Him, turning to Him in repentance, fearing Him, having hope in Him, devoting the Deen sincerely to Him, having patience in what He orders and forbids, having patience with His decrees and being pleased with them, having allegiance for His pleasure, having humility for Him and humbling oneself in front of Him, and becoming tranquil with Him. and to convey what ALLAH has revealed(in the Qur'an and authentic sunnah). This applies to the conditions of hearts, not just to the outward phenomena and existence. One's nafs (Self, soul),his whim and his devil keep calling him to that which is against what he loves and is satisfied with. One continues to be tested by these three things, calling him to avenues that displease his Rabb. And At the same time, the call of Iman (Faith) will continue to direct him to what Pleases his Rabb. Thus one should keep seeking nearness to ALLAH at all times, and should not abandon this seeking nearness to ALLAH until death. this seeking nearness to ALLAH become strong or weak[in the Heart]depending on the state of the Iman(faith). The stronger and more complete that the Iman is, the more stronger the seeking nearness to ALLAH becomes. And if the Iman(faith)weakens,the seeking of ALLAH's nearness weakens too, until one becomes unable to detect its presence or have the readiness to be moved by it.. ALLAH's nearness through knowledge and power encompasses the entire creation. ALLAH's nearness through kindness and help is limited to the believers, but His mercy extend to the entire creation. ALLAH's Nearness through special intimacy is restricted to His friends. ALLAH- may He be exalted - said: "We are nearer to him [man] than the jugular vein." ALLAH - may He be exalted - said: "We are nigher him than you". ALLAH - may He be exalted - also said: "He is with you wherever you are." He also said: "Three men conspire not secretly together, but He is the fourth of them." The servant who has fully realized ALLAH's nearness to him, tries his best to observes every single thing that he possibly can that comes to him from ALLAH, because watching over him is his guardian ALLAH, So he fears his Guardian . the guardian of reverence and the guardian of humility. They recite the following poetry: As if a watchmen stands guardian over my [innermost] thoughts, and watching over my sight and my tongue. Since ALLAH is the witness to all things whenever my eyes see something that displeases Him, I say [to myself]: "He [the watchman] must have spotted me. Thus the person who takes this road of seeking nearness to Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) though the practice of the Sunnah becomes a stranger among people, unique in his surroundings, distant [from others] despite his physical closeness, lonely despite numerous neighbours. Seeking nearness to Rasulallah(sallallahu alayahi wa salam) though the practice of the Sunnah,(He) Rasulallah(sallallahu alayahi wa salam) is not with us on this Earth, but we can draw close to through our practice of the Sunnah, it is a most important matter. It is a long and difficult way for those who are not prepared for it, as a poet once said: "It is far for him who is lazy or who tires easily, But as for the one who has the longing, It is smooth and easy for him." this way is but a shining light to illuminate the darkness of this world. It is a full moon lighting the earth from east to west and capable of lighting the gloom of ignorance. It is a clear sweet stream of water capable of washing away the stains of sins in our heart. It is the beginning of a great bounty of which we could be unaware. The definition of seeking this way,Applying the Sunnah to our lives,this nearness in practice is: the soul's journey, in all matters of belief, in all desires of the heart, and in all legislative matters, to the origin of Guidance and the source of Light(Nur). This Guidance and Light came from the mouth of the most truthful and trustworthy, Rasulallah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam), whom Allah ta'ala describes as: Your companion (Muhammad) is neither astray nor being misled. Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is only the Revelation with which he is inspired." [Al-Qur'an 53:2-4] . This Practice,this Application is required from every Muslim. It follows directly from the [second part of the] Shahadah (the testimony proclaimed by every Muslim):"Muhammad Rasulallah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is Allah's Messenger." Just as the first type of migration [to Allah] follows from the [first part of the same] Shahadah, that: "There is no true god except Allah." Every human being will be asked about these two manners of migration, both in the barzakh and on the Day of Resurrection. Qatadah (one of the Tabi'in) said: "The earlier and the later people will be asked two questions [on the Day of Judgement]: What did you worship, and what was your response to the messengers." These two matters are the content of the two parts of the Shahadah. a major part of nearness in practing the Sunnah is to accept Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) judgement whether he is physically with us or not. Allah ta'ala said: "But no, by your Rabb, they can have no Iman until they set you (Muhammad) judge in any disputes that arise among them, and then find in their souls no resistance against your decisions but accept them with the fullest submission." [Al-Qur'an 4:65] Here Allah the Exalted makes the greatest oath - by His own Self, Glory be to Him, that the Iman is not confirmed for a person, and he is not one of its People, until he accepts Rasulallah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) as the judge in all matters of dispute and in all aspects of the Din. Using the term "any disputes”in this ayah absolutely negates the presence of Iman(faith) unless Rasulallah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is made the judge in all disputes. In addition, Allah ta'ala has required satisfaction of the heart with Rasulallah’s (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam)judgment so that one would find no resistance in his soul. One should accept his judgment with satisfaction and submission. Taking the judgment with dissatisfaction, or following it in spite of oneself is contrary to the meaning of Iman. So, judgment should be accepted with satisfaction and pleasure of the heart. Once a person knows this, he should always examine himself and look into his heart [to see how true is his submission to the Messenger's judgements]. He should do this whenever a judgment comes from Rasulallah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) , in a major or a minor matter, conflicting with his desire or differing from the way of his ancestors. Allah ta'ala says: "Nay, man will be evidence against himself, even though he were to put up excuses." [Al-Qur'an 75:14-15]. "The Day when all the secrets [of hearts and intentions] will be uncovered and tested." [Al-Qur'an 86:9].Furthermore, Allah ta'ala concludes the above ayah by requiring the fullest submission to [the judgements and commands of] Rasulallah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam). When a person realizes these meanings9 with respect to Rasulallah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam), he will surely submit himself to him (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam), and surrender every desire in his heart in obedience to him. He will then comprehend that he cannot attain happiness except through this submission and obedience. " “The Nabi(sallallahu’alayhi wa sallam) has a higher claim on the believers than [they have on] their own selves." [Al-Qur'an 33:6] Rasulallah( sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) should be more beloved than one's own self. This is so because the Nabi's claim on a believer is based on love; and a person usually loves himself more than others; yet Rasulallah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) should have more claim on him, and be dearer to him than himself. A person who fulfils this acquires the quality of Iman. Once a person submits to the Nabi's claim on him and loves him more than any other creature, then there follows full compliance, obedience, and all the other consequences of love, such as satisfaction with his judgment, submission to his orders, and favouring him over anyone else. A person should not have an independent rule over himself; this authority is the right of Rasulallah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam). His rule is superior to a master's rule over his slave or a father's over his son. Thus, a person has no right of disposal over himself except in accordance with what Rasulallah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) disposes, for he sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam has more claim on him than himself. . shaykh was showing his preference for one of his disciples by his placing him close to himself. When the other disciples asked him about it, the shaykh gave each disciple a bird and asked him to(zabihah it) slaughter it, so that no one would observe him, See him [doing this]. Each disciple withdrew to a deserted place in order to slaughter his bird. Only the [favorite] disciple came back with his bird still alive. The shaykh asked him about that. The disciple said: "You commanded me to(zabihah) slaughter the bird, so that no one would see me. However, there is no place on this earth! where we are not watched by ALLAH - glory to ALLAH!" The shaykh said: "This is why I have given him preference over you. You are still governed by the talk of creatures, whereas he is never negligent of ALLAH." When anyone notices [his] nearness, this becomes a veil that separates him from nearness. Whoever sees any place or any breath as belonging to himself, is deceived thereby. They say about this: "May ALLAH expel you from His Nearness!" This means "[expel you] from your heart's vision of His nearness [to you]". The feeling of intimacy in His nearness is a sign of being governed by His power and command, because ALLAH- glory to Him - is behind all intimacy and the site of the Heart [the manifestation of] the True Reality bring about bewilderment and erasure. the greatest nearness is the greatest distance.' " As for the nearness to the [divine] Essence, "High exalted be ALLAH, The True King" from any such thing. For He is far removed from any boundaries, sites, limit or measure. No creature can unite with Him and No creature can come near Him except with His permission, no previously engendered entity can become separated from Him, because His eternal nature rejects both unification and separation. There is thus a nearness that is impossible - namely, a co-existence of [other] essences [alongside ALLAH's Essence]. There is, however, a Nearness that is possible and necessary - namely, a nearness through knowledge and perception. There is also a nearness that is possible. ALLAH bestows it upon any of His creatures, as He pleases. This is the Nearness of [divine] grace through His kindness and mercy [toward His servants]. we can only gains nearness to ALLAH by His permission And that permission is that our hearts have to be pure and clean of major sins and have sincere humility, then our Hearts will start to climb the stair of true devotion, step by step and stage by stage, this staircase become more visible in the depths of the Night, in salat tahajjud, the Night prayer, Surah 73. The Enshrouded One, Bundled Up
    1. O thou folded in garments! 2. Stand (to prayer) by night, but not all night,-
    3. Half of it,- or a little less,
    4. Or a little more; and recite the Qur'an in slow, measured rhythmic tones.
    5. Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message.
    6. Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise).
    7. True, there is for thee by day prolonged occupation with ordinary duties:
    8. But keep in remembrance the name of thy Lord and devote thyself to Him whole-heartedly. 20. Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah's Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah. for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

You have created Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) to be the most truthful of men and what He(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) has said is the absolute truth!................... The life of this world and the Hereafter, in the heart of a person, are like the two scales of a balance, when one becomes heavier the other becomes lighter.- Amr Ibn Abdullah (The life of this world is a transient Shade, by Abdul-Maalik al-Qaasim)
    The heart becomes corrupt through six means: Committing a sin in the hope of repenting, Seeking knowledge and not applying it, Practice without sincerity, Eating the sustenance of Allah without appreciating Him, Not being pleased with Allah’s allocation (destiny), and Burying the dead without learning from them. - al-Hasan al-Basri (Taqwa: the provision of the believer, by Imam Ghazali, Ibn-Al-Qayyim, and Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, Page 30)No one conceals something in his heart, but Allah causes it to be seen on his face or in a slip of the tongue. - Uthman ibn Affan (Uthman Ibn Affan Dhun-Nurayn, by Dr. Ali M. as-Sallabi, Page 133)There are five remedies for the heart: The company of the pious, Recitation of the Qur’an, Emptying the inner self (of vices), Praying during the night, and Crying at dawn. – Abdullah Anaki (Taqwa: the provision of the believer, by Imam Ghazali, Ibn-Al-Qayyim, and Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, Page 29)How odd that some people mourn for the one whose body has died, but never mourn for the one whose heart has died – and yet the death of the heart is far more serious! - A righteous man (The four poisions of the heart, by Ibn al-Qayyim)Guard strictly [the practice] of always inspecting and investigating your heart. For it may have the sickness of doubts or the sickness of desires, and everything has a cure. So the Noble Qur’aan is a cure for doubts and desires. - Ibn Uthaymeen (Ash-Sharh al-Mumti, Vol. 4, Page 22)For the tongue to remember Allaah, and the body to serve Him, one should be free of the impact of others like being busy remembering and serving them. Thus, if the heart is overwhelmed by the servants rather than the master, and is preoccupied with futile knowledge, surely there will be no place for being closer to Allah, or being acquainted with His Names, Attributes, and Judgments. - Ibn al-Qayyim (Al-Fawaa’id)There is no heart with life, awareness, a search for knowledge, and a desire for worship except that its greatest concern would be the search for Eemaan in Allaah, and knowing His Names and Attributes, and actualizing that with certain knowledge and Aqeedah. - Ibn Uthaymeen (Explanation of a Summary of al-Aqeedatul-Hamawiyyah by Ibn Taymiyyah explained by Ibn Uthaymeen, Page 13)The person whose love and reverence for Allaah in his heart prevents him from disobeying Him, Allaah will venerate him in the hearts of creatures so that they will not humiliate him. - Ibn al-Qayyim (al-Fawaa’id, Page 59)In order for a place to contain something, it must be free from whatever contradicts it. This principle applies to mankind and all creation as well as to belief and desires. So, if the heart is obsessed by belief in falsehood, there will be no place for truth. Accordingly, if the tongue is involved in trivial discourse, one shall be incapable of useful speech, unless falsehood is abandoned. Hence, if the body is busy doing wrong actions, then acts of worship will be inapplicable unless these contradictory actions are abandoned. - Ibn al-Qayyim (al-Fawaa’id)The signs of a pure and healthy heart are: 1) One considers himself as belonging to the next world and not this world. He is a stranger in this world anxious to reach his abode in the Hereafter. 2) One continues to be upset with himself any time he commits a sin until he finally and completely repents to Allah. 3) One is more upset and unhappy if he misses his daily recitation of the Qur’an and dhikr, than if he had lost his wealth. 4) One finds greater pleasure worshipping Allah than any pleasure in eating and drinking. 5) One’s worries and concerns about this world leave him whenever he begins his formal prayers. 6) One’s only concern and worries are about Allah and doing deeds only for His sake. 7) One is more concerned and stingy about wasting time than a greedy person is with respect to his wealth. 8) One is more concerned about the correctness of his deeds than with the performance of the deeds themselves. - Ibn al-Qayyim (Ighaatha al-Lahfaa, Vol. 1, Pages 70-73)Whosoever desires to purify his heart, then let him prefer Allah to his desires. - Ibn al-Qayyim (Ighaath Al-Lahafaan, Page 44)So know that the world – and whatever is above it and below it in the water – will not be corrected except when the actions of its people are all for Allah. The actions of the body follow on from the actions and intentions of the heart. So when the actions and intentions of the heart are purely for Allah alone, then it is corrected, and likewise the actions of the body will also be correct. However, if the actions and intentions of the heart are for other than Allah, then it is corrupted, and likewise the actions of the body will be corrupted in proportion to how much the heart is corrupted. – Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (Jaami al-Uloom wal-Hikam, Page 120)Between the eyes and the heart there is a connection which means that the one is affected by the other, and if one of them becomes good, the other will also become good, and if one becomes corrupt the other will become corrupt. If the heart becomes corrupt the gaze will become corrupt, and if the gaze becomes corrupt the heart will become corrupt, and similarly if one is sound the other will also be sound. - Ibn al-Qayyim (Al-Jawaab al-Kaafee, Page 125)There is no harder punishment than when the servant has a cruel heart and moves away from Allah. Hellfire was created to melt such cruel hearts. The most remote heart from Allah is the cruel one. If the heart is cruel, the eyes will never shed tears. Cruelty of the heart is caused by increasing four things over and above one’s needs: excessive food, sleep, talk, and socializing. When the body is sick, food and drink is of no use to it. Likewise when the heart is ill because of desires, advice is useless. - Ibn al-Qayyim (al-Fawaa’id, Page 156)As for the five things that corrupt the heart, they are those that are referred to: 1) Mixing too much with people, 2) Wishful thinking, 3) Being attached to anything other than Allah, 4) Eating one’s fill, and 5) Sleeping. These five are the greatest corrupters of the heart. – Ibn al-Qayyim (Madaarij al-Saalikeen 1/453)For everything there is a blessing, the blessing of the hearts is being pleased with Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful. - Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Manaqib Al-Imam Ahmad by Ibn al-Jaawzi, Page 276)If you see that your heart is heedless of your sins, then know that your heart is sick. It is not possible for hearts that are alive to accept/be content with being sick, and the sickness of the heart is sins. - Ibn Uthaymeen (Included in the Tafseer of Surat ash-Sharh, Verse 3, by Ibn Uthaymeen)I saw that sins cause hearts to die, that base actions lead to their addiction, that avoiding sins is life for the heart, and that it is better for your soul for you to disobey it. – Abdullah Ibn Mubarak (Gems, Jewels, and Wise Sayings, interesting events & moral lessons from Islamic history by Abdullah Malik Mujahid)When there is money in your hand and not in your heart, it will not harm you even if it is a lot; and when it is in your heart, it will harm you even if there is none in your hands. - Ibn al-Qayyim (Madaarij al-Saalikeen 1/463)The one who is [truly] imprisoned is the one whose heart is imprisoned from Allah and the captivated one is the one whose desires have enslaved him. - Ibn Taymiyyah (al-Wahil as-Sayyib, Page 69)The heart is the chief and its controls man. We must therefore consider the heart, exame it and purify it – perhaps, it contains impurities. Man might pretend to perform good deeds through the limbs but there might be in his heart this corrupt impurity that leads one to the Fire in the end. - Ibn Uthaymeen (Are we forced or do we have free will by Ibn Uthaymeen, Page 12)The heart’s safety and soundness cannot be perfected, absolutely, until it is secure from five things: 1) From Shirk which nullifies Tawheed, 2) From innovations which opposes the Sunnah, 3) From a desire/lust that opposes the command (of Allah), 4) From heedlessness that contradicts remembrance (of Him), 5) From a desire that nullifies purity and sincerity (in intent and purpose). These five are barriers to Allah and beneath each of them are many other categories that contain unique issues which cannot be enumerated. - Ibn al-Qayyim (Al-Jawaab al-Kaafee 1/176)The heart of the truthful person is filled with the light of truth and he has the light of Emaan. - Ibn al-Qayyim (Madarij as-Saalikeen 2/282)No servant has been struck with a punishment greater than the hardness of the heart and being distant from Allah. - Ibn al-Qayyim (al-Fawaa’id, Page 262)Seek out your heart in three places: When listening to the Qur’an, in the gatherings of [Allah’s] remembrance, and when [alone] in privacy. And if you do not find it in these places, then ask Allah to grant you a heart – for verily, you do not have one. - Ibn al-Qayyim (al-Fawaa’id, Page 479)Laziness against the Salaah is a sign that the heart does not long for Allah. - as-Sa’di (Taysir ul Kareem, Page 211)Do not sit with a person of innovation, for surely he will disease your heart. - Al-Hasan Al-Basree (Al-Itsaam, Page 62)There are two characteristics which harden the heart: Speaking much and eating much. - Al-Fudhayl (Siyar A’lam al-Nabula)The person who makes fun of others is often times worse than them. To make fun of people only springs from a heart that is full of bad characters. - Imam as-Sa’di (Taysir ul Kareem, Page 801)People do not pray and say that the religion is in the heart. If it were to be in the heart they would have prayed. - Shaykh al-Fawzan (al-Ittihaf, Page 536)When Allah knows that a person does not want the truth, He misguides his heart. - Ibn Uthaymeen (Liqa al-Bab al-Maftuh, 73)Never does the servant turn wholeheartedly to Allah except that Allah turns the hearts of the believers to him, providing him their love. - Harim b. Hayyan (Siyar A’lam An-Nabula, 4/49)Once the heart has tasted the sweetness of true servitude to Allah and love for Him, nothing else will be dearer to him than that and nothing else will take priority. - Ibn Taymiyyah (Al-Ubududiyyah by Ibn Taymiyyah)A man said to al-Hasan al-Basri: ”O Abu Sa’eed, I am complaining to you of the hardness of my heart.” He said: ”Soften it with dhikr. The more forgetful the heart is, the harder it becomes, but if a person remembers Allah, that hardness softens as copper melts in the fire. Nothing can soften the hardness of the heart like the remembrance of Allah. Dhikr is healing and medicine for the heart. Forgetfulness is a disease, the cure for which is remembrance of Allah. - Al-Hasan al-Basri (Al-Waabil al-Sayib wa Raafi al-Kalim al-Tayyib, Page 142)Whoever would like to know what his relationship with Allah is, let him look at what people promise him, and what Allah promises him, and see which of the two his heart is more assured of. - Shaqeeq al Balkhee (Hilyat al Awliyaah by al Asbahaanee 3/375)A man is the one who fears the death of his heart, not his body. - Ibn al-Qayyim (Madarij al-Saalikeen 3/248)The eye is the mirror of the heart. If a person lowers his gaze, the heart will lower its desires and whims. But if a person looks, the desire in his heart will be provoked. - Ibn al-Qayyim (Al-Fawaa’id)The greatest of these things we waste are two, upon which are founded all other wasted things: the waste of the heart, and the waste of time. Wasting of the heart is to prefer the world over the Hereafter; and wasting of time is to have too much hope. Every corruption is found in the following of desires and having too much hope; and every benefit is found in the following of the guidance and preparing for the meeting with Allah; and Allah’s help is sought. - Ibn al-Qayyim (Al-Fawaa’id)Rusting of the heart is due to two matters: Heedlessness and sins. Removing it is by two things: istighfaar and Dhikr. - Ibn al-Qayyim (Al Waabil as Sayyib, 92)Three things that whomsoever has it his Emaan in Allah is complete: 1) If he is pleased his pleasure is not in falsehood. 2) If he is angry his anger does not divert him from the truth. 3) If he wishes to do something he does not take what is not his in order to do it. - Muhammad Ibn Ka’ab (Minhaaj al-Qaasideen, Page 169)The people with the softest hearts are those who sin the least. - Makhul (Abu Bu’aym, Hilyah al-Awliya, Vol. 2, Page 344)Four signs of wretchedness are: [having] a hard heart, dry eyes [that never cry], extended hopes [about this life], and greed and keenness to amass worldly things (the dunya). - Al-Hasan Al-Basri (Ibn Abi Al-Dunya, Kitab al-Zuhd, 36)Abstaining from lowering one’s gaze engraves in the heart images of the one who is looked at. And the heart is like the Ka’bah, and surely it will not be satisfied with idols. – Ibn al-Qayyim (Al-Fawaa’id)If there is no sadness in the heart, it is spoiled. - Malik bin Dinar (Siyar A’lam an-Nabula 5326)

Neither can the Skyhide the other heavens from you, Nor can the Earth hide the other earths from you!; neither can the Oceans conceal those things which are at their bottom, nor can the mountains conceal those things which are in their core! OALLAH! Destine for me in the last stage of life, to be the best part of my life and the best actions at the end of my days and make that Day to be the best of all on which I meet you.! There is no God but Allah, The One Who has no partners. To Him belongs all His kingdom and all the praise, Who created life and death and Who is Alive without Death. From His hands (only) good is done and Who has Power over everything.
    ( Surah6:59)59. With Him are the keys of the unseen, the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a record clear (to those who can read). ( Surah20: 1-6)1. Ta-Ha.
    2. We have not sent down the Qur'an to thee to be (an occasion) for thy distress, 3. But only as an admonition to those who fear (Allah),- 4. A revelation from Him Who created the earth and the heavens on high. 5. (Allah) Most Gracious is firmly established on the throne (of authority). 6. To Him belongs what is in the heavens and on earth, and all between them, and all beneath the soil. (59:24)He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner; His are the most beautiful names; whatever in the heavens and in the earth declares His glory, and He is the Mighty, the Wise. "In the grand scheme of things" is an idiom. It means that when you put things into perspective, taking EVERYTHING else into account, sometimes what has previously been considered significant isn't quite, well, significant. Allah, who is the Creator, the Ruler and the Rabb of the universe, has created man and provided him with a temporary home on Earth, in that part of His vast kingdom. He has endowed man with the faculties of thinking and understanding, and has given him the power to distinguish right from wrong. Man has also been invested with free will and the power to use the resources of the world however he likes. That is, man has a measure of autonomy, while being at the same time a servant of ALLAH on earth.} Before assigning to man this vicegerency (Khilafat), Allah made it clear to him that He(ALLAH) alone as the Rabb, the Ruler and the only one to be worship. As such, the entire universe and all the creatures in it (including man) should submit to Him alone. Man must not think himself totally free and must realise that this earth is not his permanent abode. He has been created to live on it only for a probationary period and, in due course, he will return to his Rabb, to be judged according to the way he has live and spent that period of time. The only right course for man is to acknowledge Allah as the only Rabb, the Sustainer and the one to be worship, and to follow His guidance and His commands in all he does. His sole objective should be to merit the approval of Allah,and to win the pleasure of ALLAH. ALLAH has will our existence In the grand scheme of things,whether we are grateful and ungrateful will determine if we are significant or insignificant in the sight of ALLAH! "In The Grand Scheme of things"
    It's a variation from "in the scheme of things", meaning in light of how things – all things – generally work. In the religious sense, the scheme is seen as ALLAH's scheme, His great plan for everything. Otherwise it's just an overview of the overall situation. In other words, it's the biger picture.
    In the Grand scheme of things, Indeed, the Earth itself is tiny compared to a galaxy in the scheme of things,for example, in that it's a small piece of rock hurtling in the solar system, which itself is in fact a tiny system in comparison to other systems in the galaxy among innumerous other galaxies in the whole universe... this Earth is as insignificant, as a grain of sand on a desert ,or on a beach or a drop of water from the ocean, humans are on that tiny rock ,in that tiny solar system in a Gigantic Galaxy,among gigantic galaxies ,when looking through a telescope into the vastness of space,Men are able to see how insignificant the Earth is and how insignificant he is on the earth, in the vast scheme of things, and If a muslim prays to Allah and seeks His help, his affliction will be al-leviated. If he does not seek the help of Allah,he will become insignificant ,he will be left suffering. Thus Allah says, "Say (O Prophet), had it not been for your prayers unto Him, my Lord would care not for you." (25:77)taking one individual who's praying to ALLAH that one who created the Universe and its vastness,how insignificat the world is, and how insignificant he is standing before ALLAH,The ALL- Powerful Rabb!,The Originator,The Planner,The Fashioner,The Designer, The Maker,The Architect of The Heavens and the Earths, his prayer make him significant, So how can the human heart have anything other than a profunded love,respect and great humility before ALLAH. Will such a Rabb who is the Owner of Might , Glory and Honour,who is over the entire creation,who is far beyond anything that we can comprehend.Will He accept us being such insignificant creatures?who are full of weakness and shortcomings.Here, humans are being discussed with respect to all species and in terms of the cosmos as a whole. After all, we are just a small part of what's going on with Nature of Earth. The fact that all nations and communities throughout history believed in a Creator (with the exception of insignificant few) made the mission of all prophets in all ages concentrate on guiding their people away from the worship of creations to the worship of the one and only Creator ALLAH The Prophets(The anbiya)may allah be pleased with them and the Rasuls(The Messengers)may allah be pleased with them came with the guidance and exemplify that guidance and showed men how to achieve excellence, But man as a whole never reach that state of Excellence,and time has ran out,)Man's ego make him think that he is a significant creature in this universe,but the truth of the matter is, it is a possibility that in the grand scheme of things man is the most insignificant and the most primitive creature in this universe. It was just yesterday this same creature was telling other creatures that the world was flat. we were ignorant than and even more ignorant now!!! with all the human accomplishments,The situation now in the world is different because there are now a very large number of people who do not believe in a Creator or in life after death these people has become insignificant in the sight of ALLAH,because they have turn away from ALLAH the one who gives them dignity from the very beginning of man's creation, who gives him these ability, the one who created him, the one who gives life to him, now man is turning away from ALLAH, too the darkness of homosexuality and every kind of wickedness and superstition there is! this shows great ignorance, great arrogance on the part of men! this is the attitude of satan, the rejected enemy! and this attitude makes men more insignificant in the sight of ALLAH, than anything else. then man become a worthless creature. man becomes a significant creature in the sight of ALLAH when he becomes obedient .
    And to the ignorant insignificant people" Then is it the judgement of (the time of pagan) ignorance they desire?(Then is it the judgement of [the time of] ignorance they desire? But who is better than Allah in judgement for a people who are certain [in faith].
    And who (else) can be better than Allah to judge for a people of assure faith."(the Quran:5:50) The Holy Qur'an has told us about other nations with capabilities in science, engineering, and skills. Still, it regarded them as 'jahiliyah' (ignorant) and insignificant.
    6. The Qur'an describes their nature as equal among nations of 'jahiliyah'. In the Qur'anic viewpoint, all of these nations were ignorant,no matter how significant that they thought they were!. We are able to understand this equality clearly through the comparison which the Qur'an has made between the backward state of Arabs and the developed state of nations before them.
    7 Allah, the Exalted, says:
    "What! have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? They were more (in number) than those and mightier in strength, and greater are the relics (of their power) in the earth, but availed them not what they were earning. And when came unto them their Messengers with clear proofs (of their truthfulness), exalted they in what they had with them of knowledge, but encompassed them that which they were wont to scoff."
    Holy Qur'an (40:82-83)
    "Have they travelled not in the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? They were stronger than them in strength; and they dug up the earth and built on it more than what these did build; and there came unto them their Messengers with clear proofs (miracles); (for) it is not Allah Who should do them (any) injustice, but they did injustice to their own selves. Then evil was the end of those who wrought evil, for belied they the signs of Allah, and at them they used to mock."
    Holy Qur'an (30:9-10)
    "And how many of the generations We did destroy before them, they were (even) better in riches and in splendor. Say you (O Our Messenger Muhammad) As to those who are in error, the Beneficent (Allah) will certainly lengthen the span (of their) life; until they behold what they were promised, be it the chastisement (in this world) or the Hour (of Doom); Then shall they know who is worse placed and (who is the) weakest in forces!"
    Holy Qur'an (19:74-75)
    In this manner, the Qur'an has revealed the depth and content of those nations to stress that scientific development of man and his civil advancement are not able to save him from the claws of deviation and take him out of the fangs of darkness,ignorance and superstiton as long as he embellishes ignorant faith and embodies the same abnormal ignorant behavior of the general society.
    Although these ignorant deviated nations are scattered throughout history and The Present day,they are different in scientific and civil levels, they share common factors. One mental state combines them together and unifies their deviated course.
    Allah, the Exalted, says:
    "And those (pagans) who have no knowledge say: 'Why does not Allah speak to us or a sign come to us?' Even thus said those before them, the like of what they say; their hearts are alike; We have indeed made clear the signs to people who are certainly sure." (the Holy Qur'an(2:118)This similarity among the hearts of the deviated nations and in many of todays peoples and the unity of the mental trend, which the Qur'an has revealed, is the common line which identifies all aspects of the pre-Islamic period and the present day standards of ignorance and superstition , is the center from which all activities of the ignorant man begins.
    This similarity is the factor forming the identity and personality of all Ignorant nations. Also this description may be applied to all stages of human history especially the present day people whose generations have evolved into a devious and deviated system and refused to follow the straight path of truth and peace-the straight path of ALLAH, And the laws of divine guidance the message of salvation.
    When we examine Islamic texts and phrases about identifying and describing the life of ignorance and superstition, we are able to understand the meaning of the idiom 'Jahiliyah'(ignorance )and the reason why the Qur'an has used it. Also we are able to understand why the same idiom has been applied to the Present day nations, and other nations throughout history.
    We are able to understand this terminology and labelling once we learns of the ignorance in the history of past nations and its connected with the present day, when we follow the unity of the line and trends which associated 'jahiliyah' through its effects and remains, and when we study the description of the Qur'an about the most important aspects of 'Jahiliyah", its ways of thinking, and its psychological and behavioral trends. The Philosophy of the Ignorance. Their Philosophy is that they don't know, and they don't want to know, if they can not understaned it, If they can not dominate it, If they can not control it. then they have to Destroy it. this is the Gross ignorance, and this is Blind ignorance aswell,that Leads to Blind arrogance,that also leads to Blind actions,and Blind actions leads to self Destruction. The Best Example of Blind actions is Power that is uncheck by Knowledge. The Questions is: Is this the age of Modern technical Enlightenment? OR The age of Modern technical ignorance. When blind ignorance and blind arrogant are found among nations! they come in without any consideration for anything, They Just come Marching in and Bulldozing the People and setting up what they what they want to see, and then tell the people this is what we want to see established,with total disregard for the people's lives,their way of Life and their culture. This is the epitome of ignorance.
    A true believer must recognize the impossibility for each one of us to determine what will happen in the grand scheme of things. Part of a Muslim’s submission to the will of ALLAH is to accept the fact that our next breath may be our last.(Allahu a’lam) as we say: ALLAH alone knows. We can only live each moment as if it is our Last, and Pray that it is not.
    A Test for People at the End of Time
    The Hadith of Al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah
    Al-Mughirah ibn Shubah said, "No-one asked the Nabiallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) more questions about the Dajjal than I did. He said, 'You should not worry about him, because he will not be able to harm you. I said, 'But they say that he will have much food and water! He said, 'He is too insignificant in the sight of Allah to have all that." (Muslim.) Al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah said, "No-one asked the Nabiallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) more questions about the Dajjal than I did." One of the narrators said, "What did you ask him?" Al-Mughirah said, "I said, 'They say that the Dajjal will have a mountain of bread and meat, and a river of water. The Nabiallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'He is too insignificant in the sight of Allah to have all that." (Muslim.)
    From these Ahadith, we can see that Allah will test His servants with the Dajjal and by the miracles which he will be permitted to perform: as we have already mentioned, the Dajjal will order the sky to rain for those who accept him, and will order the earth to bring forth its fruits so that they and their livestock will eat of it, and their flocks will return fat and with their udders full of milk. Those who reject the Dajjal and refuse to believe in him will suffer drought and famine; people and livestock will die, and wealth and supplies of food will be depleted. People will follow the Dajjal like swarms of bees, and he will kill a young man and bring him back to life. This is not a kind of magic; it will be something real with which Allah will test His servants at the end of time. Many will be led astray, and many will be guided by it. Those who doubt will disbelieve, but those who believe will be strengthened in their faith. Al-Qadi 'Iyad and others interpreted the phrase "He is too insignificant in the sight of Allah to have all that" as meaning that the Dajjal is too insignificant to have anything that could lead the true believers astray, because he is obviously evil and corrupt. Even if he brings great terror, the word Kafir will be clearly written between his eyes; one report explains that it will be written "Kaf, Fa, Ra," from which we can understand that it will be written perceptibly, not abstractly, as some people say. One of his eyes will be blind, protruding and repulsive; this is the meaning of the Hadith: "...as if it were a grape floating on the surface of the water."Other reports say that it is "dull, with no light in it," or "like white spittle on a wall," i.e. it will look ugly. Some reports say that it is his right eye which will be blind; others say that it is his left eye. He could be partly blind in both eyes, or there could be a fault in both eyes. This interpretation could be supported by the Hadith narrated by al-Tabarani, in which he reports that Ibn 'Abbas said,
    "The Nabiallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "The Dajjal is curly-haired and white-skinned. His head is like the branch of a tree; his left eye is blind, and the other eye looks like a floating grape. "
    One may ask: if the Dajjal is going to cause such widespread evil and his claim to be a "lord" will be so widely believed - even though he is obviously a liar, and all the Prophets(The Anbiya)may allah be pleased with them have warned against him - why does the Quran not mention him by name and warn us against his lies and stubbornness?
    The answer is:
    1. The Dajjal was referred to in the Ayah:
    "... The day that certain of the signs of thy Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then, if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its Faith..." (al-Anam 6:158)
    Abu Hurairah said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'There are three things which, when they appear, no good will it do a soul to believe in them then, if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its Faith. They are: The Dajjal, the Beast, and the rising of the sun from the west."
    2. Isa(alayhi salam) son of Mary will descend from Heaven and kill the Dajjal, as we have already mentioned. The descent of Isa(alayhi salam) is mentioned in the Ayat:
    "That they said (in boast), 'We killed Isa (alayhi salam)the son of Mary, the Nabi of Allah; - but they killed him not nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
    Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is exalted in Power, Wise:-
    And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment, he will be a witness against them." (al-Nisa 4:157-9)
    We think that the Tafsir (interpretation) of this Ayah is that the pronoun in "before his death" (qabla mawtihi) refers to Isa(alayhi salam); i.e. he will descend and the People of the Book who differed concerning him will believe in him. The Christians claimed that he was divine, while the Jews made a slanderous accusation, i.e. that he was born from adultery. When Jesus descends before the Day of Judgment, he will correct all these differences and lies. On this basis, the reference to the descent of the Messiah Isa(alayhi salam) son of Mary also includes a reference to the Dajjal (false Messiah Antichrist), who is the opposite of the true Messiah, because sometimes the Arabs refer to one of two opposites and not the other, but mean both. 3. The Dajjal is not mentioned by name in the Quran because he is so insignificant: he claims to be divine, but he is merely a human being. His affairs are too contemptible to be mentioned in the Quran. But the Prophets(The Anbiya)may allah be pleased with them , out of loyalty to Allah, warned their people about the Dajjal and the tribulations and misguiding miracles he would bring. It is enough for us to know the reports of the Prophets and the many reports from Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam). One could argue that Allah has mentioned Pharaoh and his false claims, such as "I am your Lord, Most High" (al-Naziat 79:24) and"O Chiefs! No god do I know for you but myself ..." (al-Qasas 28:38), in the Quran. This can be explained by the fact that Pharaoh and his deeds are in the past, and his lies are clear to every believer. But the Dajjal is yet to come, in the future; it will be a Fitnah and a test for all people. So the Dajjal is not mentioned in the Qur'an because he is contemptible; and the fact that he is not mentioned means that it will be a great test. The facts about the Dajjal and his lies are obvious and do not need further emphasis. This is often the case when something is very clear. For example, when Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) was terminally ill, he wanted to write a document confirming that Abu Bakr would be the Khalifah after him. Then he abandoned this idea, and said, "Allah and the believers will not accept anyone other than Abu Bakr."He decided not to write the document because he knew of Abu Bakr's high standing among the Sahabah (Companions) and was sure that they would not choose anyone else. Similarly, the facts about the Dajjal are so clear that they did not need to be mentioned in the Qur'an. Allah did not mention the Dajjal in the Quran because (He)ALLAH (subhanahu wa ta'ala) knew that the Dajjal would not be able to lead His true servants astray; he would only increase their faith, their submission to Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), their belief in the Truth, and their rejection of falsehood. For this reason the believer whom the Dajjal overpowers will say, when he revives him, "By Allah, it has only increased my understanding that you are the one-eyed liar about whom Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) spoke."More Ahadith About The Dajjal
    Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "The Dajjal will emerge in a land in the east called Khurasan. His followers will be people with faces like hammered shields."
    Asma' bint Yazid al-Ansariyyah said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'During the three years just before the Dajjal comes, there will be one year when the sky will withhold one third of its rain and the earth one-third of its fruits. In the second year the sky will withhold two-thirds of its rain, and the earth two-thirds of its fruits. In the third year the sky will withhold all of its rain, and the earth all of its fruits, and all the animals will die. It will be the greatest tribulation: the Dajjal will bring a Bedouin and say to him, "What if I bring your camels to life for you? Will you agree that I am your lord?" The Bedouin will say "Yes." So devils will assume the forms of his camels, with the fullest udders and the highest humps. Then he will bring a man whose father and brother have died, and will ask him, "What do you think if I bring your father and brother back to life? Will you agree that I am your lord?" The man will say "Yes," so the devils will assume the forms of his father and brother. Then Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) went out for something, and then returned. The people were very concerned about what he had told them. He stood in the doorway and asked, 'What is wrong, Asma'? I said, 'Ya Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam), you have terrified us with what you said about the Dajjal. He said, 'He will certainly appear. If I am still alive, I will contend with him on your behalf; otherwise Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf.’ I said, ' Ya Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam), we do not bake our dough until we are hungry, so how will it be for the believers at that time?’ Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The glorification of Allah which suffices the people of Heaven will be sufficient for them.’"
    Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them. When a Jew hides behind a rock or a tree, it will say, "O Muslim, O servant of Allah! There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!" All the trees will do this except the box-thorn (al-Gharqad), because it is the tree of the Jews." (Ahmad.)
    Protection Against the Dajjal1. Seeking refuge with Allah from his tribulation. It is proven in the Sahih (authentic) Ahadith that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) used to seek refuge with Allah from the tribulation of the Dajjal in his prayers, and that he commanded his Ummah to do likewise:

OALLAH! Destine for me in the last stage of life, to be the best part of my life and the best actions at the end of my days and make that Day to be the best of all on which I meet you.! There is no God but Allah, The One Who has no partners. To Him belongs all His kingdom and all the praise, Who created life and death and Who is Alive without Death. From His hands (only) good is done and Who has Power over everything. “Allahumma inna naudhu bika min 'adhabi jahannam, wa min 'adhabi 'l-qabr, wa min fitnati 'l-mahya'i wa'l-mamat, wa min fitnati' l-masihi 'd-dajjal." "O Allah! We seek refuge with You from the punishment of Hell, from the punishment of the grave, from the tribulations of life and death, and from the tribulation of the False Messiah (Dajjal)." This Hadith was narrated by many Sahabah, including Anas. Abu Hurairah, 'A'ishah, Ibn 'Abbas, and Sa'd.
    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 alayhe wa sallam) 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 Madinah or Makkah.
    Abu Hurairah reported that Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "There are angels standing at the gates of Madinah; neither plague nor the Dajjal can enter it." (Bukhari, Muslim.) Abu Bakr reported that Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "The terror caused by the Dajjal will not enter Madinah. At that time it will have seven gates; there will be two angels guarding every gate." (Bukhari.)
    Anas said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Dajjal will come to Madinah, and he will find angles guarding it. Neither plague nor the Dajjal will enter it, in sha Allah." (Tirmidhi, Bukhari.)
    It has been proven in the Sahih Ahadith that the Dajjal will not enter Makkah or Madinah, 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 Madinah, it will be shaken by three tremors - either physically or metaphorically - and every hypocrite will go out to join the Dajjal. On that day, Madinah will be cleansed of its dross and will be refined and purified; and Allah knows best. The Life and Deeds of the Dajjal The Dajjal will be a man, created by Allah to be a test for people at the end of time. Many will be led astray through him, and many will be guided through him; only the sinful will be led astray. Al-Hafiz Ibn 'Ali al-Abar wrote in his book of history (al-Tarikh) that the Dajjal's Kunyah (nickname or paternal title) would be Abu Yusuf.
    Abu Bakrah said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "The Dajjal's parents will remain childless for thirty years, then a one-eyed child will be born to them. He will be very bad and will cause a great deal of trouble. When he sleeps, his eyes will be closed but his heart (or mind) will still be active[1]. Then he described his parents: 'His father will be a tall and bulky man, with a long nose like a beak; his mother will be a huge, heavy-breasted woman."
    Abu Bakrah said,
    "We heard that a child had been born to some of the Jews in Madinah. Al-Zubayr ibn al-Awam and I went see his parents, and found that they matched the description given byRasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam). We saw the boy lying in the sun, covered with a blanket, murmuring to himself. We asked his parents about him, and they said, 'We remained childless for thirty years, then this one-eyed boy was born to us. He is very bad and causes a great deal of trouble. When we went out, we passed the boy. He asked us, 'What were you doing?.We said, 'Did you hear us?’. He said, 'Yes; when I sleep, my eyes are closed but my heart (mind) is still active.’ That boy was Ibn Sayyad." (Ahmad, Tirmidhi; this Hadith is not very strong.)
    As we have already seen in the Sahih Ahadith, Malik and others think that Ibn Sayyad was not the Dajjal; he was one of a number of "lesser dajjals." Later he repented and embraced Islam; Allah knows best his heart and deeds. The "greater" Dajjal is the one mentioned in the Hadith of Fatimah bint Qays, which she narrated from Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam), from Tamim al-Dari, and which includes the story of the Jassasah. The Dajjal will be permitted to appear at the end of time, after the Muslims have conquered a Roman city called Constantinople. He will first appear in Isfahan, in an area known as the Jewish quarter (al-Yahudiyyah). He will be followed by seventy thousand Jews from that area, all of them armed. Seventy thousand Tatars and many people from Khurasan will also follow him. At first he will appear as a tyrannical king, then he will claim to be a prophet, then a lord. Only the most ignorant of men will follow him; the righteous and those guided by Allah will reject him.
    He will start to conquer the world country by country, fortress by fortress, region by region, town by town; no place will remain unscathed except Makkah and Madinah. The length of his stay on earth will be forty days: one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days like normal days, i.e. his stay will be approximately one year and two and a half months. Allah will grant him many miracles, through which whoever He wills will be astray, and the faith of the believers will be strengthened. The descent of Isa(alayhi salam) son of Mary, the true Messiah, will happen at the time of the Dajjal, the false messiah. He will descend to the minaret in the east of Damascus. The believers and true servants of Allah will gather to support him, and the Messiah Isa(alayhi salam) son of Mary will lead them against the Dajjal, who at that time will be heading for Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). He will catch up with him at 'Aqabah 'Afiq. The Dajjal will run away from him, but Isa(alayhi salam) will catch up with him at the gate of Ludd, and will kill him with his spear just as he is entering it. He will say to him, "I have to deal you a blow; you cannot escape."
    When the Dajjal faces him, he will begin to dissolve like salt in water. So Isa(alayhi salam) will kill him with his spear at the gate of Ludd, and he will die there, as many Sahih Ahadith indicate.
    Majma ibn Jariyah is reported to have said,
    "I heard Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) saying, 'Isa(alayhi salam) The son of Mary will kill the Dajjal at the gate of Ludd.’" (Tirmidhi.)

    The Descent of Isa(alayhi salam) at the End of Time.
    Abd Allah ibn 'Amr said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Dajjal will appear in my Ummah, and will remain for forty - "I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years." Then Allah will send Isa (alayhe salam), the son of Mary, who will resemble 'Urwah ibn Mas'ud. He will chase the Dajjal and kill him. Then the people will live for seven years during which there will be no enmity between any two persons. Then Allah will send a cold wind from the direction of Syria, which will take the soul of everyone who has the slightest speck of good or faith in his heart. Even if one of you were to enter the heart of a mountain, the wind would reach him there and take his soul.
    "Only the most wicked people will be left; they will be as careless as birds, with the characteristics of beasts, and will have no concern for right and wrong. Satan will come to them in the form of man and will say, "Don't you respond?" They will say, "What do you order us to do?" He will order them to worship idols, and in spite of that they will have sustenance in abundance, and lead comfortable lives.
    "Then the Trumpet will be blown, and everyone will tilt their heads to hear it. The first one to hear it will be a man busy repairing a trough for his camels. He and everyone else will be struck down. Then Allah will send (or send down) rain like dew, and the bodies of the people (i.e. the dead) will grow out of it. Then the trumpet will be sounded again, and the people will get up and look around. Then it will be said, "O people, go to your Rabb and account for yourselves." It will be said, "Bring out the people of Hell," and it will be asked, "How many are there?" - the answer will come: "Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand." On that day a child will grow old and the shin will be laid bare." (Al-Qalam 68:42) (Muslim)
    Abu Hurairah said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said,Isa (alayhe salam) 'The son of Mary will come down as a just leader. He will break the cross, and kill the pigs. Peace will prevail and people will use their swords as sickles. Every harmful beast will be made harmless; the sky will send down rain in abundance, and the earth will bring forth its blessings. A child will play with a fox and not come to any harm; a wolf will graze with sheep and a lion with cattle, without harming them." (Ahmad)
    Abu Hurairah said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'By Him in Whose hand is my soul, surely Isa (alayhe salam) the son of Mary will come down among you as a just ruler. He will break the cross, kill the pigs and abolish the Jizyah. Wealth will be in such abundance that no-one will care about it, and a single prostration in prayer will be better than the world and all that is in it." Abu Hurairah said, 'If you wish, recite the Ayah:
    "And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them ..." (Al-Nisa 4:159)
    (Bukhari, Muslim)
    Abu Hurairah reported that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "The Prophets(the Anbiya)may ALLAH be plesae with them, are like brothers; they have different mothers but their religion is one. I am the closest of all the people to Isa (alayhe salam)son of Mary, because there is no other Prophet(nabi) between him and myself. He will come again, and when you see him, you will recognise him. He is of medium height and his colouring is reddish-white. He will be wearing two garments, and his hair will look wet. He will break the cross, kill the pigs, abolish the Jizyah and call the people to Islam. During his time, Allah will end every religion and sect other than Islam, and will destroy the Dajjal. Then peace and security will prevail on earth, so that lions will graze with camels, tigers with cattle, and wolves with sheep; children will be able to play with snakes without coming to any harm. Isa (alayhe salam) will remain for forty years, then die, and the Muslims will pray for him." (Ahmad)
    Ibn Masud reported that Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "On the night of the Isra (night journey), I met my father Abraham, Moses and Isa, and they discussed the Hour. The matter was referred first to Abraham, then to Moses, and both said, 'I have no knowledge of it. Then it was referred to Isa (alayhe salam) , who said, 'No-one knows about its timing except Allah; what my Lord told me was that the Dajjal will appear, and when he sees me he will begin to melt like lead. Allah will destroy him when he sees me. The Muslims will fight against the Kafirs, and even the trees and rocks will say, "O Muslim, there is a Kafir hiding beneath me - come and kill him!" Allah will destroy the Kafirs, and the people will return to their own lands. Then Gog and Magog will appear from all directions, eating and drinking everything they find. The people will complain to me, so I will pray to Allah and He will destroy them, so that the earth will be filled with their stench. Allah will send rain which will wash their bodies into the sea. My Lord has told me that when that happens, the Hour will be very close, like a pregnant woman whose time is due, but her family do not know exactly when she will deliver'" (Ahma, Ibn Majah)
    Description of Isa (alayhe salam)Son of Mary, Messenger of Allah
    Abu Hurairah said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'On the night of the Isra' (miraculous journey to Jerusalem) I met Moses – he was a slim man with wavy hair, and looked like a man from the Shanu'ah tribe. I also met Isa (alayhe salam) - he was of medium height and of a red complexion, as if he had just come out of the bath'" (Bukhari, Muslim) Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "Whilst I was asleep, I saw myself (in a dream) making Tawaf around the Ka'bah. I saw a brown-skinned man, with straight hair, being supported by two men, and with water dripping from his head. I said, 'Who is this?' They said, 'The son of Mary' I turned around and saw a fat, ruddy man, with curly hair, who was blind in his right eye; his eye looked like a floating grape. I asked, 'Who is this?' They said, 'The Dajjal' The one who most resembles him is Ibn Qatan." Al-Zuhri explained: Ibn Qatan was a man from Khuzaah who died during the Jahiliyyah (before the coming of Islam). (Bukhari)
    The Appearance of Gog and Magog They (two tribes or peoples) will appear at the time of Isa (alayhe salam) son of Mary, after the Dajjal. Allah will destroy them all in one night, in response to the supplication of Isa (alayhe salam).
    Abu Hurairah reported that Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "Every day, Gog and Magog are trying to dig a way out through the barrier. When they begin to see sunlight through it, the one who is in charge of them says, 'Go back; you can carry on digging tomorrow,' and when they come back, the barrier is stronger than it was before. This will continue until their time comes and Allah wishes to send them forth. They will dig until they begin to see sunlight, then the one who is in charge of them will say, 'Go back; you can carry on digging tomorrow, insha'Allah.' In this case he will make an exception by saying insha' Allah, thus relating the matter to the Will of Allah. They will return on the following day, and find the hole as they left it. They will carry on digging and come out against the people. They will drink all the water, and the people will entrench themselves in their fortresses. Gog and Magog will fire their arrows into the sky, and they will fall back to earth with something like blood on them. Gog and Magog will say, 'We have defeated the people of earth, and overcome the people of heaven. Then Allah will send a kind of worm in the napes of their necks, and they will be killed by it' 'By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), the beasts of the earth will become fat.'"
    Gog and Magog are two groups of Turks, descended from Yafith (Japheth), the father of the Turks, one of the sons of Noah. At the time of Abraham (alayhe salam), there was a king called Dhu'l-Qarnayn. He performed Tawaf around the Ka'bah with Abraham (alayhe salam) when he first built it; he believed and followed him. Dhu'l-Qarnayn was a good man and a great king; Allah gave him great power and he ruled the east and west. He held sway over all kings and countries, and travelled far and wide in both east and west. He travelled eastwards until he reached a pass between two mountains, through which people were coming out. They did not understand anything, because they were so isolated; they were Gog and Magog. They were spreading corruption through the earth, and harming the people, so the people sought help from Dhu'l-Qarnayn. They asked him to build a barrier between them and Gog and Magog. He asked them to help him to build it, so together they built a barrier by mixing iron, copper and tar. Thus Dhu' -Qarnayn restrained Gog and Magog behind the barrier. They tried to penetrate the barrier, or to climb over it, but to no avail. They could not succeed because the barrier is so huge and smooth. They began to dig, and they have been digging for centuries; they will continue to do so until the time when Allah decrees that they come out. At that time the barrier will collapse, and Gog and Magog will rush out in all directions, spreading corruption, uprooting plants, killing people. When Isa (alayhe salam) prays against them, Allah will send a kind of worm in the napes of their necks, and they will be killed by it. The Destruction of the Ka’bah At the end of time, Dhu'l-Suwayqatayn[2], who will come from Abyssinia (al-Habash), will destroy the Ka'bah in order to steal its treasure and Kiswah (cloth covering). The Ka'bah is the ancient building which was built by Abraham, and whose foundations were laid by Adam. As Tafsir (interpretation) of the Ayah"Until the Gog and Magog (people) are let through (their barrier)" (al-Anbiya 21:96), it was reported from Ka'b al-Ahbar that Dhu'l-Suwayqatayn will first emerge at the time of Isa (alayhe salam) son of Mary. Allah will send Isa (alayhe salam) at the head of a vanguard of between seven and eight hundred. While they are marching towards Dhu'l-Suwayqatayn, Allah will send a breeze from the direction of Yemen, which will take the soul of every believer. Only the worst of people will be left, and they will begin to copulate like animals. Ka'b said: "At that time, the Hour will be close at hand."
    'Abd Allah ibn 'Amr said, "I heard Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) say, Dhu'l-Suwayqatayn from Abyssinia will destroy the Ka'bah and steal its treasure and Kiswah. It is as if I could see him now: he is bald-headed and has a distortion in his wrists. He will strike the Ka'bah with his spade and pick-axe'." (Ahmad)
    It was reported from 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar that Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "Leave the Abyssinians alone so long as they do not disturb you, for no-one will recover the treasure of the Ka'bah except Dhu'l-Suwayqatayn from Abyssinia." (Abu Dawud, in the chapter on the prohibition of provoking the Abyssinians)
    Ibn 'Abbas narrated that Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "It is as if I can see him now: he is black and his legs are widely spaced. He will destroy the Ka'bah stone by stone." (Ahmad)
    Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "The Hour will not come until a man from Qahtan appears and rules the people." (Muslim; similar Hadith in Bukhari) This man could be Dhu'l-Suwayq, someone else, because this man comes from Qahtan, while other reports say that Dhu'l-Suwayqatayn comes from Abyssinia; and Allah knows best.
    Abu Hurairah said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'Day and night will not come to an end until a freed man called Jahjah holds sway'" (Ahmad) This could be the name of Dhul Suwayqatayn from Abyssinia; and Allah knows best.
    'Umar ibn al-Khattab reported that he heard Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) say: "The people of Makkah will leave, and only a few people will pass through it. Then it will be resettled and rebuilt; then the people will leave it again, and no-one will ever return."

    Madinah will remain inhabited at the time of the Dajjal 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 Rasulallah(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 Rasulallah(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)
    Madinah will remain inhabited during the days of the Dajjal, and during the time of Isa (alayhe salam) son of Mary, until he dies and is buried there. Then it will be destroyed.
    'Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "I heard Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) say, 'A rider will go around Madinah and say, There used to be many Muslims here'" (Ahmad)

    Footnotes:
    1 "When he (Dajjal) sleeps, his eyes will be closed but his heart (or mind) will still be active" - means that his evil ideas will still come to him even while he is asleep.
    2 Dhu'l-Suwayqatayn: al-Suwayqatayn is the diminutive of al-Saqayn (legs); his legs are described as being "small" because they are thin. Thin legs are, in general, a characteristic of the Sudanese and people of the Horn of Africa.

    "O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family.

OALLAH! Destine for me in the last stage of life, to be the best part of my life and the best actions at the end of my days and make that Day to be the best of all on which I meet you.! There is no God but Allah, The One Who has no partners. To Him belongs all His kingdom and all the praise, Who created life and death and Who is Alive without Death. From His hands (only) good is done and Who has Power over everything.
    ( Surah6:59)59. With Him are the keys of the unseen, the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a record clear (to those who can read). ( Surah20: 1-6)1. Ta-Ha.
    2. We have not sent down the Qur'an to thee to be (an occasion) for thy distress, 3. But only as an admonition to those who fear (Allah),- 4. A revelation from Him Who created the earth and the heavens on high. 5. (Allah) Most Gracious is firmly established on the throne (of authority). 6. To Him belongs what is in the heavens and on earth, and all between them, and all beneath the soil. (59:24)He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner; His are the most beautiful names; whatever in the heavens and in the earth declares His glory, and He is the Mighty, the Wise. "In the grand scheme of things" is an idiom. It means that when you put things into perspective, taking EVERYTHING else into account, sometimes what has previously been considered significant isn't quite, well, significant. Allah, who is the Creator, the Ruler and the Rabb of the universe, has created man and provided him with a temporary home on Earth, in that part of His vast kingdom. He has endowed man with the faculties of thinking and understanding, and has given him the power to distinguish right from wrong. Man has also been invested with a limited free will and the power to use the resources of the world however he likes. That is, man has a measure of autonomy, while being at the same time a servant of ALLAH on earth.} (Surah 17:70) And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference. (Them in the land and in the seas in this times we can say in the airs and out in Space and we have given them many things and we have preferred them “The Human Beings” over many other things that we have created which means we have preferred some over them as well! We as human beings occupy a high rank according to this verse, But not the Highest! But now in the World, on this Earth that we inhabit, who is at the top of the pyramid? I mean in this creation.. On this Earth! We do not know what out there! ALLAH has commanded the angels the Jinn, to bowed down to Man, so then we are at the top in this creation on this Earth! Yet ALLAH says inSurah Isra(We have honored the chidren of Adam over many other things we have created(NOT ALL)! Before assigning to man this vicegerency[C1] (Khilafat), Allah made it clear to him that He(ALLAH) alone as the Rabb, the Ruler and the only one to be worship. As such, the entire universe and all the creatures in it (including man) should submit to Him alone. Man must not think himself totally free and must realize that this earth is not his permanent abode. He has been created to live on it only for a probationary period and, in due course, he will return to his Rabb, to be judged according to the way he has live and spent that period of time. The only right course for man is to acknowledge Allah as the only Rabb, the Sustainer and the one to be worship, and to follow His guidance and His commands in all he does. His sole objective should be to merit the approval of Allah,and to win the pleasure of ALLAH. ALLAH has will our existence In the grand scheme of things, whether we are grateful and ungrateful will determine if we are significant or insignificant in the sight of ALLAH! "In The Grand Scheme of things"
    It's a variation from "in the scheme of things", meaning in light of how things – all things – generally work. In the religious sense, the scheme is seen as ALLAH's scheme, His great plan for everything. Otherwise it's just an overview of the overall situation. In other words, it's the bigger picture.
    In the Grand scheme of things, Indeed, the Earth itself is tiny compared to a galaxy in the scheme of things, for example, in that it's a small piece of rock hurtling in the solar system, which itself is in fact a tiny system in comparison to other systems in the galaxy among innumerous other galaxies in the whole universe... this Earth is as insignificant, as a grain of sand on a desert ,or on a beach or a drop of water from the ocean, humans are on that tiny rock ,in that tiny solar system in a Gigantic Galaxy, among gigantic galaxies ,when looking through a telescope into the vastness of space, Men are able to see how insignificant the Earth is and how insignificant he is on the earth, in the vast scheme of things, and If a Muslim prays to Allah and seeks His help, his affliction will be al-levitated. If he does not seek the help of Allah, he will become insignificant ,he will be left suffering. Thus Allah says, "Say (O Prophet), had it not been for your prayers unto Him, my Lord would care not for you." (25:77) taking one individual who's praying to ALLAH that one who created the Universe and its vastness, how insignificant the world is, and how insignificant he is standing before ALLAH, The ALL- Powerful Rabb! The Originator,The Planner,The Fashioner,The Designer, The Maker,The Architect of The Heavens and the Earths, his prayer make him significant, So how can the human heart have anything other than a profound love, respect and great humility before ALLAH. Will such a Rabb who is the Owner of Might , Glory and Honor, who is over the entire creation, who is far beyond anything that we can comprehend. Will He accept us being such insignificant creatures? who are full of weakness and short comings. Here, humans are being discussed with respect to all species and in terms of the cosmos as a whole. After all, we are just a small part of what's going on with Nature of Earth. The fact that all nations and communities throughout history believed in a Creator (with the exception of insignificant few) made the mission of all prophets in all ages concentrate on guiding their people away from the worship of creations to the worship of the one and only Creator ALLAH The Prophets(The anbiya)may allah be pleased with them and the Rasuls(The Messengers)may allah be pleased with them came with the guidance and exemplify that guidance and showed men how to achieve excellence, But man as a whole never reach that state of Excellence,and time has ran out,)Man's ego make him think that he is a significant creature in this universe,but the truth of the matter is, it is a possibility that in the grand scheme of things man is the most insignificant and the most primitive creature in this universe. It was just yesterday this same creature was telling other creatures that the world was flat. we were ignorant than and even more ignorant now!!! with all the human accomplishments,The situation now in the world is different because there are now a very large number of people who do not believe in a Creator or in life after death these people has become insignificant in the sight of ALLAH,because they have turn away from ALLAH the one who gives them dignity from the very beginning of man's creation, who gives him these ability, the one who created him, the one who gives life to him, now man is turning away from ALLAH, too the darkness of homosexuality and every kind of wickedness and superstition there is! this shows great ignorance, great arrogance on the part of men! this is the attitude of satan, the rejected enemy! and this attitude makes men more insignificant in the sight of ALLAH, than anything else. then man become a worthless creature. man becomes a significant creature in the sight of ALLAH when he becomes obedient .
    And to the ignorant insignificant people" Then is it the judgement of (the time of pagan) ignorance they desire?(Then is it the judgement of [the time of] ignorance they desire? But who is better than Allah in judgement for a people who are certain [in faith].
    And who (else) can be better than Allah to judge for a people of assure faith."(the Quran:5:50) The Holy Qur'an has told us about other nations with capabilities in science, engineering, and skills. Still, it regarded them as 'jahiliyah' (ignorant) and insignificant.
    6. The Qur'an describes their nature as equal among nations of 'jahiliyah'. In the Qur'anic viewpoint, all of these nations were ignorant,no matter how significant that they thought they were!. We are able to understand this equality clearly through the comparison which the Qur'an has made between the backward state of Arabs and the developed state of nations before them.
    7 Allah, the Exalted, says:
    "What! have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? They were more (in number) than those and mightier in strength, and greater are the relics (of their power) in the earth, but availed them not what they were earning. And when came unto them their Messengers with clear proofs (of their truthfulness), exalted they in what they had with them of knowledge, but encompassed them that which they were wont to scoff."
    Holy Qur'an (40:82-83)
    "Have they travelled not in the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? They were stronger than them in strength; and they dug up the earth and built on it more than what these did build; and there came unto them their Messengers with clear proofs (miracles); (for) it is not Allah Who should do them (any) injustice, but they did injustice to their own selves. Then evil was the end of those who wrought evil, for belied they the signs of Allah, and at them they used to mock."
    Holy Qur'an (30:9-10)
    "And how many of the generations We did destroy before them, they were (even) better in riches and in splendor. Say you (O Our Messenger Muhammad) As to those who are in error, the Beneficent (Allah) will certainly lengthen the span (of their) life; until they behold what they were promised, be it the chastisement (in this world) or the Hour (of Doom); Then shall they know who is worse placed and (who is the) weakest in forces!"
    Holy Qur'an (19:74-75)
    In this manner, the Qur'an has revealed the depth and content of those nations to stress that scientific development of man and his civil advancement are not able to save him from the claws of deviation and take him out of the fangs of darkness,ignorance and superstiton as long as he embellishes ignorant faith and embodies the same abnormal ignorant behavior of the general society.
    Although these ignorant deviated nations are scattered throughout history and The Present day,they are different in scientific and civil levels, they share common factors. One mental state combines them together and unifies their deviated course.
    Allah, the Exalted, says:
    "And those (pagans) who have no knowledge say: 'Why does not Allah speak to us or a sign come to us?' Even thus said those before them, the like of what they say; their hearts are alike; We have indeed made clear the signs to people who are certainly sure." (the Holy Qur'an(2:118)This similarity among the hearts of the deviated nations and in many of todays peoples and the unity of the mental trend, which the Qur'an has revealed, is the common line which identifies all aspects of the pre-Islamic period and the present day standards of ignorance and superstition , is the center from which all activities of the ignorant man begins.
    This similarity is the factor forming the identity and personality of all Ignorant nations. Also this description may be applied to all stages of human history especially the present day people whose generations have evolved into a devious and deviated system and refused to follow the straight path of truth and peace-the straight path of ALLAH, And the laws of divine guidance the message of salvation.
    When we examine Islamic texts and phrases about identifying and describing the life of ignorance and superstition, we are able to understand the meaning of the idiom 'Jahiliyah'(ignorance )and the reason why the Qur'an has used it. Also we are able to understand why the same idiom has been applied to the Present day nations, and other nations throughout history.
    We are able to understand this terminology and labelling once we learns of the ignorance in the history of past nations and its connected with the present day, when we follow the unity of the line and trends which associated 'jahiliyah' through its effects and remains, and when we study the description of the Qur'an about the most important aspects of 'Jahiliyah", its ways of thinking, and its psychological and behavioral trends. The Philosophy of the Ignorance. Their Philosophy is that they don't know, and they don't want to know, if they can not understaned it, If they can not dominate it, If they can not control it. then they have to Destroy it. this is the Gross ignorance, and this is Blind ignorance aswell,that Leads to Blind arrogance,that also leads to Blind actions,and Blind actions leads to self Destruction. The Best Example of Blind actions is Power that is uncheck by Knowledge. The Questions is: Is this the age of Modern technical Enlightenment? OR The age of Modern technical ignorance. When blind ignorance and blind arrogant are found among nations! they come in without any consideration for anything, They Just come Marching in and Bulldozing the People and setting up what they what they want to see, and then tell the people this is what we want to see established,with total disregard for the people's lives,their way of Life and their culture. This is the epitome of ignorance.
    A true believer must recognize the impossibility for each one of us to determine what will happen in the grand scheme of things. Part of a Muslim’s submission to the will of ALLAH is to accept the fact that our next breath may be our last.(Allahu a’lam) as we say: ALLAH alone knows. We can only live each moment as if it is our Last, and Pray that it is not.
    A Test for People at the End of Time
    The Hadith of Al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah
    Al-Mughirah ibn Shubah said, "No-one asked the Nabiallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) more questions about the Dajjal than I did. He said, 'You should not worry about him, because he will not be able to harm you. I said, 'But they say that he will have much food and water! He said, 'He is too insignificant in the sight of Allah to have all that." (Muslim.) Al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah said, "No-one asked the Nabiallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) more questions about the Dajjal than I did." One of the narrators said, "What did you ask him?" Al-Mughirah said, "I said, 'They say that the Dajjal will have a mountain of bread and meat, and a river of water. The Nabiallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'He is too insignificant in the sight of Allah to have all that." (Muslim.)
    From these Ahadith, we can see that Allah will test His servants with the Dajjal and by the miracles which he will be permitted to perform: as we have already mentioned, the Dajjal will order the sky to rain for those who accept him, and will order the earth to bring forth its fruits so that they and their livestock will eat of it, and their flocks will return fat and with their udders full of milk. Those who reject the Dajjal and refuse to believe in him will suffer drought and famine; people and livestock will die, and wealth and supplies of food will be depleted. People will follow the Dajjal like swarms of bees, and he will kill a young man and bring him back to life. This is not a kind of magic; it will be something real with which Allah will test His servants at the end of time. Many will be led astray, and many will be guided by it. Those who doubt will disbelieve, but those who believe will be strengthened in their faith. Al-Qadi 'Iyad and others interpreted the phrase "He is too insignificant in the sight of Allah to have all that" as meaning that the Dajjal is too insignificant to have anything that could lead the true believers astray, because he is obviously evil and corrupt. Even if he brings great terror, the word Kafir will be clearly written between his eyes; one report explains that it will be written "Kaf, Fa, Ra," from which we can understand that it will be written perceptibly, not abstractly, as some people say. One of his eyes will be blind, protruding and repulsive; this is the meaning of the Hadith: "...as if it were a grape floating on the surface of the water."Other reports say that it is "dull, with no light in it," or "like white spittle on a wall," i.e. it will look ugly. Some reports say that it is his right eye which will be blind; others say that it is his left eye. He could be partly blind in both eyes, or there could be a fault in both eyes. This interpretation could be supported by the Hadith narrated by al-Tabarani, in which he reports that Ibn 'Abbas said,
    "The Nabiallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "The Dajjal is curly-haired and white-skinned. His head is like the branch of a tree; his left eye is blind, and the other eye looks like a floating grape. "
    One may ask: if the Dajjal is going to cause such widespread evil and his claim to be a "lord" will be so widely believed - even though he is obviously a liar, and all the Prophets(The Anbiya)may allah be pleased with them have warned against him - why does the Quran not mention him by name and warn us against his lies and stubbornness?
    The answer is:
    1. The Dajjal was referred to in the Ayah:
    "... The day that certain of the signs of thy Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then, if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its Faith..." (al-Anam 6:158)
    Abu Hurairah said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'There are three things which, when they appear, no good will it do a soul to believe in them then, if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its Faith. They are: The Dajjal, the Beast, and the rising of the sun from the west."
    2. Isa(alayhi salam) son of Mary will descend from Heaven and kill the Dajjal, as we have already mentioned. The descent of Isa(alayhi salam) is mentioned in the Ayat:
    "That they said (in boast), 'We killed Isa (alayhi salam)the son of Mary, the Nabi of Allah; - but they killed him not nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
    Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is exalted in Power, Wise:-
    And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment, he will be a witness against them." (al-Nisa 4:157-9)
    We think that the Tafsir (interpretation) of this Ayah is that the pronoun in "before his death" (qabla mawtihi) refers to Isa(alayhi salam); i.e. he will descend and the People of the Book who differed concerning him will believe in him. The Christians claimed that he was divine, while the Jews made a slanderous accusation, i.e. that he was born from adultery. When Jesus descends before the Day of Judgment, he will correct all these differences and lies. On this basis, the reference to the descent of the Messiah Isa(alayhi salam) son of Mary also includes a reference to the Dajjal (false Messiah Antichrist), who is the opposite of the true Messiah, because sometimes the Arabs refer to one of two opposites and not the other, but mean both. 3. The Dajjal is not mentioned by name in the Quran because he is so insignificant: he claims to be divine, but he is merely a human being. His affairs are too contemptible to be mentioned in the Quran. But the Prophets(The Anbiya)may allah be pleased with them , out of loyalty to Allah, warned their people about the Dajjal and the tribulations and misguiding miracles he would bring. It is enough for us to know the reports of the Prophets and the many reports from Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam). One could argue that Allah has mentioned Pharaoh and his false claims, such as "I am your Lord, Most High" (al-Naziat 79:24) and"O Chiefs! No god do I know for you but myself ..." (al-Qasas 28:38), in the Quran. This can be explained by the fact that Pharaoh and his deeds are in the past, and his lies are clear to every believer. But the Dajjal is yet to come, in the future; it will be a Fitnah and a test for all people. So the Dajjal is not mentioned in the Qur'an because he is contemptible; and the fact that he is not mentioned means that it will be a great test. The facts about the Dajjal and his lies are obvious and do not need further emphasis. This is often the case when something is very clear. For example, when Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) was terminally ill, he wanted to write a document confirming that Abu Bakr would be the Khalifah after him. Then he abandoned this idea, and said, "Allah and the believers will not accept anyone other than Abu Bakr."He decided not to write the document because he knew of Abu Bakr's high standing among the Sahabah (Companions) and was sure that they would not choose anyone else. Similarly, the facts about the Dajjal are so clear that they did not need to be mentioned in the Qur'an. Allah did not mention the Dajjal in the Quran because (He)ALLAH (subhanahu wa ta'ala) knew that the Dajjal would not be able to lead His true servants astray; he would only increase their faith, their submission to Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), their belief in the Truth, and their rejection of falsehood. For this reason the believer whom the Dajjal overpowers will say, when he revives him, "By Allah, it has only increased my understanding that you are the one-eyed liar about whom Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) spoke."More Ahadith About The Dajjal
    Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, "The Dajjal will emerge in a land in the east called Khurasan. His followers will be people with faces like hammered shields."
    Asma' bint Yazid al-Ansariyyah said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'During the three years just before the Dajjal comes, there will be one year when the sky will withhold one third of its rain and the earth one-third of its fruits. In the second year the sky will withhold two-thirds of its rain, and the earth two-thirds of its fruits. In the third year the sky will withhold all of its rain, and the earth all of its fruits, and all the animals will die. It will be the greatest tribulation: the Dajjal will bring a Bedouin and say to him, "What if I bring your camels to life for you? Will you agree that I am your lord?" The Bedouin will say "Yes." So devils will assume the forms of his camels, with the fullest udders and the highest humps. Then he will bring a man whose father and brother have died, and will ask him, "What do you think if I bring your father and brother back to life? Will you agree that I am your lord?" The man will say "Yes," so the devils will assume the forms of his father and brother. Then Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) went out for something, and then returned. The people were very concerned about what he had told them. He stood in the doorway and asked, 'What is wrong, Asma'? I said, 'Ya Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam), you have terrified us with what you said about the Dajjal. He said, 'He will certainly appear. If I am still alive, I will contend with him on your behalf; otherwise Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf.’ I said, ' Ya Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam), we do not bake our dough until we are hungry, so how will it be for the believers at that time?’ Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The glorification of Allah which suffices the people of Heaven will be sufficient for them.’"
    Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) said, "Rasulallah (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them. When a Jew hides behind a rock or a tree, it will say, "O Muslim, O servant of Allah! There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!" All the trees will do this except the box-thorn (al-Gharqad), because it is the tree of the Jews." (Ahmad.)
    Protection Against the Dajjal1. Seeking refuge with Allah from his tribulation. It is proven in the Sahih (authentic) Ahadith that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) used to seek refuge with Allah from the tribulation of the Dajjal in his prayers, and that he commanded his Ummah to do likewise:

    {6:110}We (too) shall turn to (confusion) their hearts and their eyes, even as they refused to believe in this in the first instance: We shall leave them in their trespasses, to wander in distraction. { 6:111}Even if We did send unto them angels, and the dead did speak unto them, and We gathered together all things before their very eyes, they are not the ones to believe, unless it is in Allah's plan. But most of them ignore (the truth).
    ---(30:41)Corruption, Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that (Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil).
    ----------------What's to be expected from a society that plays host to the real satan (eblis - The Satan in the flash(The Dajjal-Antichrist)? But insanity or madness the whole society is going insane! The very fact that this Evil is real will drive any society and the World to madness! They have incurred divine displeasure by rejecting the signs of Allah and by entertaining the chief enemy of ALLAH! The Dajjal! -There has always been a serious flaws in the way that these ignorant people of America think!, Seeing the World one sided! A society that puts no value on the human being! But puts great value on color and race! -Now that thinking has driven them to madness! ---A society that is so blindly ignorant and blindly arrogant and blindly stupid and so sick that it has gone completely mad! This Madness in this world and in this Society is a collective madness that is like a plague or a punishment that has descended from heaven! This is a trial and a punishment that has befallen this world and this Society, it has comes to all the people! A trial for the Muslim people and part of the punishment for the Non-Muslim!
    -What you foolish people have for gotten is one most important thing that there is ONE who control all things and that is ALLAH! And to incurred His divine displeasure is a serious mistake!!---In the name of Allah , the Entirely Merciful, the Especially. Merciful {59:22}He is Allah, than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
    {59:23}He is Allah, than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah! (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him. { 59:24}He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.------------ {ALLAH! do not have take your wealth from you or He do not have to take your power from you, in order to punish you! ALLAH can give you more, but you will only used that wealth and power against yourselves! ----All ALLAH has to do is removed your sanity! As He has done and that will be apart of your punishment!---
    Any right minded, right thinking society knows that when another society and its government goes wrong in it thinking, goes insane--once that happen it only increases in its madness day by day and the behavior of the people becomes more and more insane! Any outside observer would recognize that this is the path of destruction for that society and its people and for the World!
    --------When a society goes insane 3 things may occur ! It might destroy it self or a Natural catastrophic disaster occur(like the ancient people of Pompeii!) or a weaker force come in and take it over! This society is like the ones whom the Evil one by his touch Hath driven to madness. Every aspect of this society is going insane! The Satan( the Dajjal) is replacing one puppet in leadership of the Government with another! One he can do more damage with! Their Governmental political systems has gone insane! Their Judicial system has gone insane! Making crazy laws that donot make cents and do more harm than benefits) Their economic system has gone insane! If indeed this plague of insanity is the punishment of ALLAH!(divine chastisement)Than It will reach every households in America and the world! And only the cities of Makkah and Madinah will not be affected and those who truly believe in ALLAH and the last day! And the only exception to this madness is the people who are the ALLAH Fearing or (The God Fearing)! So O Muslim People Fear ALLAH!... O God Fearing people of America and the World, and of other faiths Fear ALLAH as He should be feared!....
    O people of the Book! O people of other faiths! Fear ALLAH! Fear God Almighty (The creator of everything and All things) as he should be feared!
    In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

    2:Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
    3:He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
    4:And there is none like unto Him.
    ----He(ALLAH) by His mercy(isha allah) may spare you this punishment of insanity! And He(ALLAH) has said of you in The Holy Quran,which was revealed to Prophet Muhammad(Sallallahu alayhi wa salam)14 centuries ago!
    (5:82) Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. (5:83) And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger(Sallallahu alayhi wa salam), thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: "Our Rabb(lord)! We believe; write us down among the witnesses. (5:84) "What cause can we have not to believe in Allah and the truth which has come to us, seeing that we long for our Rabb (Lord) to admit us to the company of the righteous?" (5:85) And for this their prayer hath Allah rewarded them with gardens, with rivers flowing underneath,- their eternal home. Such is the recompense of those who do good….. {Now live up to that which ALLAH has said about you!}…..
    It is Allah's right over His servants(over mankind ) that they fear Him as He ought to be feared. Allah says: “O you who believe! Fear Allah as He ought to be feared and do not die except as believers.” [ Sûrah Âl `Imrân : 102]
    ALLAH had called upon all people in every era to fear Him. Allah says: “And We had enjoined upon those who were given the Scripture before(the Christian and the Jews ) – as well as yourselves(We Muslim people) – to fear Allah.” [ Sûrah al-Nisâ' : 131]---Allah says: “It is only those who have knowledge among Allah's servants who fear Him.” [ Sûrah Fâtir : 28]---Those who fear ALLAH are those who know that Allah is capable of all things.” And it is said: The only people who (fear ALLAH) are those who know ALLAH's Power, ALLAH's Might, and His dominion, Over The Heavens, the Earth and He is the Rabb (Lord) of the Tremendous Throne and all that exists .” Ibn Kathîr says in his commentary of this verse: “The only people who fear Allah in the true sense are those who are knowledgeable about Allah. This is because the more knowledge a person has about the Almighty, the All-Powerful and All-Knowing, who possesses the attributes of perfection and the best of names – the more perfect and complete this knowledge is – the greater and more total his fear of Allah will be.” [ Tafsîr Ibn Kathîr ]----- The second way that the fear of Allah and knowledge are related stems from the fact that the fear of Allah is to seek to prevent Allah's punishment by carrying out Allah's commands and abstaining from His prohibitions. Consequently, a Muslim needs to have knowledge of these matters in order to fear Allah properly. An ignorant Muslim may have a sense of fear, but he will not be able to fully carry out what that fear requires of him.---Ibn `Abbâs said: “To have knowledge of the Most Merciful is to be someone who associates nothing as a partner with Him, who deems lawful what He has made lawful, who prohibits what He has prohibited, who preserves what He has enjoined upon him, and who has certainty that he shall meet Him and that his actions will be accounted for.”---- One should seek Islamic knowledge especially knowledge of Allah's attributes. By possessing knowledge of Allah's attributes one will not be misled by the Dajjal or the wicked people. This knowledge teaches that Allah is perfect, can't be seen, and not in need of anything while the Dajjal is imperfect, can be seen by both believers and non-believers and in need of food and water. ---So O Muslim people Fear ALLAH as He should be feared! And prepare to make hijrah! Those people in leadership who are encouraging the Muslim Ummah to stay in America have betrayed Islam long ago! They and the Jews and the Masons who speaks the Arabic language, who can recite the Quran in Arabic who have Arabic names ,who pretended to be Muslim among us. But in reality they are the enemies of ALLAH,the enemies of Islam and the enemies of this Ummah and the enemies of the Amreica people! These are the ones who are the which dogs of the greater enemy the dajjal! Now the time has ran out and this evil has taken over this society and it is orveist that this Government and its people have gone mad!--- As For the poor muslim people,Who have nothing and no where to go! And no one to help us but ALLAH! We hope that ALLAH will make away out for us!
    (65:2-3)And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out,(3)

    And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion. As for the Rich so called Muslim People it is their choice to stay in and on this ship called America! But in reality it is the Titanic!That will collide with Destiny! ---------This is that dark period of time, of Great deception and ignorance! Where the most ignorant and wicked of men will be in the leadership over the Governments of the World! Where the bad people will appear to be (good) or righteous and the good people will appear to be bad or wicked!------- This is that time when the entire leadership of the world is deceitful(They smile in our faces! But they are planning our destruction! And non of these world Leaders can come out and say that We are working hard in the Hope of bringing the world to a peaceful state!-Because Many of these world leaders are being blackmailed into submission and silence by the same people who has the entire World under surveillance! And some of these world leader are just to weak to stand up for justice, even though they are leaders of Nations! And Not one of these world Leaders are asking the questions when will the violence in the world cease or when will this killing STOP??? These world Leaders do not want the world in a peaceful state! They cannot see any benefit in that! They can only see benefit in greed, power, turmoil, chaos, tyranny, oppression and the destruction of human life! As long as these evils are going on. They are happy! -And In every region in the world blood is being shedded in great volumes! And all the world Leaders share in this responsibility for the blood that being spilled. Because In every region of the world the root of every rebellion is injustice-by the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer that these world leaders have allowed to happen!

    Surat Al-'Anfal (The Spoils of War)-Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem [8:30]Remember how the Unbelievers plotted against thee, to keep thee in bonds, or slay thee, or get thee out (of thy home). They plot and plan, and Allah too plans; but the best of planners is Allah.[8:31] There will be a world war 3! Because it is written that such a war would exist! The war that will end all wars. But not the way they planned it! Because their way is not the way of ALLAH! Their way is the way of satan! It is Madness to think that these people can plain the destruction of the human race than sit back and laugh about it! That is why they are pushing so hard for World war 3! Because they have already a plan of survival that do not include the common people, it is not going to work, the way you have planned it! -----------------------Many of these world Governments and this Government of U.S.A. and a great majority of its people have become Reckless and defiance before ALLAH! -O You ignorant disbelieving people! If you think that you can lived a life of disobedience and reject Islam, reject the commandments of ALLAH and reject The Sunnah of Rasulullah(Sallahu alayhi wa salam) -You underestimate the power of ALLAH!-ALLAH can strip this entire society and this World of its sanity over night and the world would wake up the next morning and see itself and its time as the worst time that ever existed! And this would be justice! Because the world that you live in is against what is right for the human being! Your way said it's alright to destroy the dignity of the human being!
    It alright to have million and million people hunger and impoverished in world! It all right to destroy the environment! Its alright to have great volumes of blood being shedded in the world!-O World Leaders remember the panama papers!Where are you going to spend those billions and billions dollars that you have stolen from Your own government, from Your own people ? With the stolen money many of these World leaders are living lavish lifestyles of the elites while the general population of their own people languishes in poverty!We know that money represent political power and authority in the Land, in the World, in the Earth!
    ---But where are you going to spend it? When You intend to destroy 2 third of this Earth! That in itself shows the insanity of your thinking!
    If this is our imagination! Then why don't they (The World Leaders) All come together and work on a program to re-establish peace in the world. You as a collective body of World leaders holds in your mortal hands the power, the means and the ability to abolish all forms of human poverty…. So why you are not working for peace in the world? Because they see nothing in that! They don't want to see unity and peace in the World or in America! -Think! A divided America ,a racially divided America, a socially divided America is a weak America and they know that! They see nothing wrong with a weak America!- The people of America and the people of world need to take a closer look at these World leaders and these secret agencies and see them as they really are!
    If the current spiral of fitan (plural of Fitnah - madness, mischief, evil, anarchy) that has engulfing America and the nations of the world, and the entire world in general, and this Ummah in particular,We cannot arouse the Muslims from their villainous slumber and jolt them out of their indulgence in immorality and transgression, no amount of dreams or imagination of the pious or the Good people will avail. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) warning the Ummah, said that when Amr Bil Ma'roof Nahyi Anil Munkar (Commanding virtue and prohibiting vice) is abandoned, then Allah Ta'ala will appoint over us such brutal tyrants who will show no mercy to our little ones and no respect to our elders. The brutality and humiliation is the direct consequences of our disobedience, misdeeds and rebellion before ALLAH! -This Madness will hem all mankind in, disfigure and mutilate all members of this Ummah and the people of the world, be they infants, children, adults, men, women, the pious and the impious. No one will be spared because the people of the world have incur the wrath and anger of Allah and it falls on this Ummah and the World. In this regard, the Qur'aan Majeed states: "Beware of such a Fitnah (Divine Punishment) which will not only overtake the transgressors among you!." At such a time of universal Athaab, (Divine Punishment).Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that your pious(The Good people) will supplicate (make Dua), but their Duas will go unheeded. It should be well understood that when the Athaab of Allah Ta'ala(the Punishment of ALLAH) overtakes a community or a society or the World! Overtakes the nations of the world -then Duas and Dhikr, whilst drowning will not avail. Duas at this time will not avert the Athaab, the punishment. The Divine Chastisement will run its ordained course. Even the pious and the Ulama will be overtaken by the disastrous punishment of Allah Ta'ala, which assumes a variety of forms such as the appearance of the dajjal, Madness in the people, killing and killing ,earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, fire, pestilence, volcano eruptions, drought, famine, Great internecine warfare (Muslims killing Muslims), and the imposition of kuffaar to unleash brutality and genocide on the entire world. All of these effects are being observed daily in our times. But no one heeds these palpable Signs of Qiyaamah and their immediate consequences which are being enacted in real life, in our lifetime and which we observe and experience whilst we are fully awake. The world leaders are silent on this issues of the state of awakefulness and the physical presence of the dajjal is a great trial on the entire world. Their focus is more on their plan to bring about world war 3 and trying to cover up the very the presence of the dajjal. When the Warnings of the Qur'aan and Ahaadith which are materializing daily around us are inadequate to shake us and make us alert, what will dreaming or hiding the reality of life achieve? [NOTHING!] The Qur'aan and the Ahaadith tell us considerably more than the vague illusions of dreams. When the Fitan-Fitnah mentioned in the Ahadith and the madness in this world, which is unfolding in rapid succession are unable to arouse us from our slumber and unable to create in us the necessary fear of ALLAH!, The necessary awareness and concern for our moral reformation and for our own submission to ALLAH's Command and for the adoption of the Sunnah, what hope is there to create in the Muslim Ummah a stirring which could revolutionize or rejuvenate the thinking, the Imaan(Faith), and the morality of Muslims? The Hope is in ALLAH! In His words! In the Sunnah of Rasulullah(Sallallahu alayhi wa salam) And in the Din of ALLAH! And its going to take The Nur (The Light) of the Holy Quran that will to inspire the hearts of the believers that will (ishaallah)bring the Muslim people through trial! ----- Not By dreaming or covering up the realities of life that is before our faces!- "Say: I exhort you only to one thing, that you rise up for Allah's sake in twos and singly, then ponder; there is no madness in your fellow citizen (Muhammad(sallallahu alayhi wasallam); he is only a warner to you before a severe chastisement." [Al-Qur'an 34:46]-O Muslim people! The days of dreaming of a better world is over! We have to make this a better world or face The Divine Chastisement or be destroyed! ALL the people who dreams and had great vision (The Great visionaries of the pass!) Who dream of a better world has long since gone. Now all world has is the most dangerous, reckless and ignorant people standing in position of leadership with guns! The world has never seen such ignorant before ! And if we look back through every period of American history, the most dangerous, ignorant and reckless people have always had guns.
    These people in official positions who are carry firearms need a psychological evaluation every 90 days! That is the only way to weed out those dangerous people who would kill for no reason! This would be for the federal, the state and the local official nationwide who carry firearms. If these people in authority cannot see the logic in that! Than the responsibility for people being killed is on them! --- Otherwise why wait until they kill somebody that they hate or because they just want to kill somebody! These people in authority don’t know what's going on in the minds and hearts of these other official people who carry firearms each and every day! There is too many people who put no value human life, All lives matter! All lives matter! Whether it is the ordinary citizen or the people in official position! But when a society has gone mad nothing matter! And that is the reality that we are facing!-----(RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam says between approaching the Day of Judgment will be a time will come when Haraj would be widespread. The Sahaabah asked RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam what does Haraj mean- RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam told them it means killing. lives of people would be cheap. RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam says the minds of the people in that time would be taken away and they will be lowly people who think that they are following something and they are following nothing. They think that they are following the religion of Allah but they are not following anything. They will have weak brains,weak Minded people who are killing each other like this, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam said they do not have their minds with them. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam ) says in the Hadith narrated by Muslim, that a time will come when the killer will not know why he killed and the person who was killed will not know why he was killed. So a person is going out and killing and he doesn't know why he is killing and the person who was killed doesn't know why he lost his life. RasoolAllah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was asked how can that happen. RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam says that will be the time of Haraj, that will be a time of widespread killing and then RasoolAllah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: The one who kills and the killed are both in Hellfire'. The one who was killed and the killer are both in Hellfire, why? Because everyone wants to kill everyone else. Even though the person is killed himself, but he had the intention of going out and killing others and this is a time of Fitnah. It is a time when things are unclear and people have taken the Rooh, the soul lightly, and they spill blood freely. ) They(the people) will have weak brains, the people who are killing each other like this, RasoolAllah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said they do not have their minds with them.(Commentary)These people! These people of the world and in America who are doing the Killing! These people are under the influence of the Dajjal! And they do not have their own minds with them, they have become insane! And these killings in America are not random, these killing have a design, a direction and a purpose! They want to kill off 90% of the world's population and they want to do the same thing in America!(It is called genocide! A Slow and Systematic Genocide, but genocide never the less!) They want to get rid of the people whom they consider worthless, that have no value and serves no purpose! That make no contribution to the world's Societies or to the America society! They called them the do nothing people! Their claim is that these people are a burden on the world's societies! But the truth of the matter is that the people with the Guns and the secret agencies are the burden on the world's societies!
    If what the world is experiencing is indeed the punishment of ALLAH! It will reach every house whole in America and the World execpt for The city of Makkah and the City of Madinah! (Even in the punishment of ALLAH! There is Mercy, and the Mercy is that Islam will reach everywhere the night and day can reach!) Because Rasulullah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)) has said in a Hadith: Indeed, this (religion) Din will reach everywhere the night and day can reach. Allah will not leave a dwelling in a city or a desert except that He will make this Din (religion) enter it, honoring the honorable or humiliating the humiliated; an honor which Allah will bestow on Islam, and a humiliation which Allah will inflict on disbelief! Tamīm Ad-Dāri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Rasulullah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)say: "Indeed, this religion will reach everywhere the night and day can reach. Allah will not leave a dwelling in a city or a desert except that He will make this religion enter it, thus, honoring the honorable or humiliating the humiliated; an honor which Allah will bestow on Islam, and a humiliation which Allah will inflict on disbelief." Tamīm Ad-Dāri used to say: "I saw this in members of my family: those of them who embraced Islam enjoyed good, honor, and a high standing; and the disbelievers among them were subject to humiliation, disgrace, and the payment of Jizyah."Explanation
    Rasulullah (
    sallallahu alaihi was salam) informed that this religion would prevail in all parts of the globe. Any place reached by the night and day would also be reached by Islam. Allah, the Almighty, would not leave a house in a city, village, or desert except that He would bring Islam to it. Whoever accepts this religion and believes in it will be honored and elevated with the honor and elevation of Islam, and whoever rejects and denies it will be disgraced and humiliated. The honorable Companion Tamīm Ad-Dāri, who reported this Hadīth, added that he saw this statement of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi was salam) coming true, particularly with members of his family. Those of them who embraced Islam were in a state of well-being, honor, and high standing; and those who disbelieved led a life of humiliation and disgrace, along with the Jizyah they had to pay to Muslims.

    The scholars are the most fortunate of people with regard to this blessing, and the most entitled to this mercy. Imam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, recorded that Qays bin Kathir said, "One of the people of Al-Madinah came to Abu Ad-Darda', may Allah be pleased with him, when he was in Damascus. ﴿Abu Ad-Darda'﴾ said, `What brought you here, my brother' He said, `A Hadith which I heard that you narrate from Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam).' He said, `Have you come for trade' He said, `No.' He said, `Have you come for any other reason' He said, `No.' He said, `Have you come only to seek this Hadith' He said, `Yes.' He, may Allah be pleased with him said, `I heard Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) say:
    (Whoever follows a path to seek knowledge, Allah will show him the way to Paradise. The angels lower their wings being pleased with the one who seeks knowledge. Whoever is in the heavens and on earth, even the fish in the sea, ask for forgiveness for the scholar. The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like that of the moon over all other heavenly bodies. The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets, for the Prophets did not leave behind Dinars and Dirhams, but they left behind knowledge; and whoever receives it, receives an abundance of good fortune.)''' It was also reported by Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.
    (33. `Adn (Gardens) will they enter, therein will they be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein will be of silk.) (34. And they will say: "All praise and thanks be to Allah, Who has removed from us (all) grief. Verily, our Rabb is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate.'') (35. "Who, out of His grace, has lodged us in a home that will last forever, where toil will touch us not nor weariness will touch us.'') Allah tells us that those whom He chose among His servants, those who inherited the Book which was revealed from the Rabb of the worlds, will, on the Day of Resurrection, have an abode in Everlasting Gardens which they will enter on the Day when they are raised anew and meet Allah.
    (therein will they be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls,) It was recorded in the Sahih from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said:
    (The ornaments of the believer will reach as far as his Wudu'.)
    (and their garments therein will be of silk.) For this reason it is forbidden for them (the males) in this world, but Allah will permit it for them in the Hereafter. It was recorded in the Sahih that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said:
    (Whoever wears silk in this world, will not wear it in the Hereafter.) And he said:
    (It is for them in this world, and for you in the Hereafter.)
    (And they will say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has removed from us (all) grief...'') which means fear of everything that is feared; it has been lifted from us and we have been relieved of all that we used to fear of the anxieties of the world and the Hereafter. Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, and others said, "He forgives them for their major sins, and appreciates even the smallest of their good deeds.''
    (Who, out of His grace, has lodged us in a home that will last forever,) means, `Who has given us this position and status out of His grace and blessing and mercy, for our good deeds are not equivalent to this.' It was reported in the Sahih that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said: -
    (None of you will enter Paradise by virtue of his good deeds.) They said, "Not even you, O Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)'' He said,
    (Not even me, unless Allah encompasses me with His mercy and grace.)
    (where toil will touch us not nor weariness will touch us.) means, neither hardship nor exhaustion will touch us. The words translated here as "toil'' and "weariness'' both mean exhaustion, as if what is meant by the negation of both is that neither their bodies nor their souls will become exhausted; and Allah knows best. They used to exhaust themselves in worshipping this world, but their obligations will come to an end when they enter Paradise, where they will enjoy eternal rest and repose. Allah says:
    (Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past!) (69:24)
    (36. But those who disbelieve, for them will be the fire of Hell. Neither will it have a complete killing effect on them so that they die nor shall its torment be lightened for them. Thus do We requite every disbeliever !) (37. Therein they will cry: "Our Rabb! Bring us out, we shall do righteous good deeds, not that we used to do.'' (Allah will reply "Did We not give you lives long enough, so that whosoever would receive admonition could receive it And the warner came to you. So taste you. For the wrongdoers there is no helper.'')
    What is knowledge?

    Knowledge is the noblest thing that one can ask for, and the best thing a seeker can strive to attain. Knowledge consists of many branches, but according to the scholars of Islam: “What is meant by knowledge in the absolute sense is Islamic Knowledge.” i.e. what “ Allaah said….” And “ Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said…”, which is called ‘Ilm-e-Sharah. It is the knowledge of the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)and all that assists it’s understanding (e.g.: the sayings of the Sahabah (radhi allahu anhu). This is the intended meaning of knowledge in the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) .

    Shaykh al-Isalm Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) says “…the source of all good and blessings is that one seeks help from Allaah in acquiring knowledge inherited from Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), because that is what is truly fit to be named knowledge. Anything else is either not knowledge at all, even though people call it so, or it is knowledge which is not beneficial knowledge, in which case it is necessarily true that there exists in the inheritance of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) that which replaces it, being similar to it or better than it. Thus, the person's effort should be to understand the purposes of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) in his commands, prohibitions and his various other sayings.” [Abul `Aasim al-Qaasim bin Yoosuf bin Muhammad at-Tajeebee as-Sabtee al-Maghribee]

    Muadh Ibn Jabal (radhi allahu anhu), who was praised by Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) for his excellence in Deen, said: "Verily, when the people of knowledge will be present before their Rabb, the Mighty and Sublime, Mu’aadh (radiyallahu anhu) will be one step ahead of them." [Saheeh - Ibn Sa`d, Aboo Nu`aim, at-Tabaraanee]

    He (Muadh Ibn Jabal (radhi allahu anhu)) described knowledge saying: "Knowledge is a comforting friend in times of loneliness, it is the best companion during travels, and it is the inner friend who speaks to you in your privacy. Knowledge is the discerning proof of what is right and what is wrong, and it is the positive force that will help you surmount the trials of comfort, as well as those of hardships. Knowledge is your most powerful sword against your enemy, and finally, it is your most dignifying raiment in the company of your close companions." [Reported by Aboo Nu`aim]
    Islamic Knowledge is the best of sciences worth acquiring because through it Allah is recognized and acknowledge. In the absolute sense, it is the knowledge regarding Allah, His names and attributes, knowledge of His rights over His creation, and what He the Most High has prescribed for them. It is the detailed knowledge of the path that leads to Allah, knowledge of the purpose of our creation, and the end in which the slave will result. One who possesses this knowledge knows what Allah has made lawful for him and what He has prohibited him from, what pleases Him and what evokes His anger. Amongst those who have taken upon themselves to observe the precepts of the religion will result in Paradise and bliss, and the rest will result in a place of disgrace, humiliation and misery. Moreover, seeking knowledge is an obligation on every Muslim

    Knowledge - Guidance and A Cure to Ignorance and Disunity of the Ummah

    Knowledge serves multiple purposes in Islam. For instance, seeking Islamic knowledge is a means of eliminating (getting rid of) one of the major factors that contribute to the disunity of the Ummah – namely, ignorance.
    Ignorance directly effects every aspect of our lives. Moreover, we cannot unite in the absence of knowledge, which should be precipitated (hastened) by correct belief and correct understanding. When individuals in a society are armed with the necessary knowledge in regards to the religion, as well as how to deal with each other justly, only then can a society unite. Individuals firmly grounded in correct beliefs, knowledge, and understanding would unite in order to formulate a strong, healthy and united Ummah. Only such an ummah would be deserving of Allah’s protection and victory from Him. Therefore, it becomes essential to oppose it in a fashion that tackles (deals with) not simply the symptoms but the root cause of this disease itself.
    Cure for Ignorance
    The most fundamental ingredient of such a cure is to question and inquire (i.e. acquire knowledge.) As Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said: "Indeed, the cure for ignorance is to ask. (Inquire)" [Hasan - Reported by Abu Daawood # 337 narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas, Ahmed and Ibn Maajah.]

    And Allah, the All Knowledgeable has revealed unto us the method by which we can obtain this cure: He said: "And We sent not (as Our Messenger) before you (O Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)) any but men, whom We inspired (to preach and invite mankind to believe in the Oneness of Allah) So, ask of the people of knowledge if you do not know." [Soorah An-Nahl (16): 43]
    The primary role that knowledge plays is one of guidance. It enables us to possess the correct and necessary understanding of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah. In order to worship Allah, it is imperative to know the instructions laid down by Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) in regards to the religion contained within the Qur’aan and the Sunnah as Allah revealed to us in the Qur'aan: "And thus, We have sent to you (O Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)) Ruhan (an Inspiration and a Mercy) of Our Command. You knew not what is the Book, nor what is Faith? But We have made it (this Qur’aan) a light wherewith We guide whosoever of Our slaves. And verily, you (O Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the straight path. (Allah’s Religion of Islamic Monotheism)" [Soorah Ash-Shoorah (42): 52]
    And He made the Qur’aan and the Sunnah as limits regarding religious matters. He said: "These are the limits (set by) Allah, and whosoever obeys Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) will be admitted to gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), to abide therein, and that will be the great success. And, whosoever disobeys Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) and transgresses His limits He will cast him in the Fire, to abide therein; and he shall have a disgraceful torment." [Soorah An-Nisa (4): 13-14]
    Furthermore, Allah reminds us the main purpose of the creation of mankind saying: "And I created not the jinn and men except that they should worship Me." [Soorah Az-Zariyat (51): 56]
    The aforementioned verses clarify the fact that Allah wants us to worship Him alone, and that this worship should be completely based upon what He revealed to His slave, Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) . And Knowledge is the factor that enables us to possess the correct and necessary understanding of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah.
    As Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said: “Knowledge ensures our acts as lawful for us. It provides the basis of worship.” [Abu Dawood and Saheeh at-Tirmidhee # 2590]
    Seeking Knowledge is Obligatory.

    As far as the knowledge of the Sharee’ah is concerned, it is incumbent, since Allah has created jinn and mankind so that they may worship and fear Him. As He declares it in His Book saying: “I have not created jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” [Soorah Ad-Dhariyaat (51): 56]
    And worship is not permissible except through Islamic knowledge. He cited the obligation of acquiring knowledge in His Book saying: “So ask the people of Knowledge if you don’t know” [Soorah An-Nahl (16): 43]
    He also pointed out this obligation [i.e. seeking knowledge of Allah] prior to declaration of the Shahadah: “And know that there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah then seek forgiveness for your sins...” [Soorah Al-Quraan 47: 19]
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) made this obligation certain in His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) Sunnah, when he said: “The seeking of knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim; and the conveying of knowledge to the non-deserving is like putting necklaces of jewels, pearls and gold around the necks of swine.”
    [Transmitted by Ibn Majah and Bayhaqi in Shu'ab al-Iman up to the word "Muslim" saying: This is a hadith the text of which is quite well known but the chain of transmission is weak. [At-Tirmidhi # 218]
    Consequently, we understand that it is a duty of every Muslim to study and understand the Deen, and reflect upon what Allah has prescribed. To explore the authentic Pure Aqeedah, which Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)was sent with, which he Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), his Companions (radhi allahu anhu) and their followers in righteous were upon - which is belief in Allah, His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), His Names and His Attributes, believing in them in a manner, which is fitting to Allah without distortion (tahreef), denial (ta’teel), qualification (takyeef), or likening (tamtheel) – without increase or decrease.
    Merits and Virtues of Knowledge

    Merits and virtues of Knowledge vary depending on the extent of one’s adherence to it (knowledge). Knowledge is a sign of goodness, happiness and success. As Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is reported to have said:"If Allah wants to favor someone, He grants him comprehension (understanding) of this religion." [Sahih Bukhari vol.1 # 71, Tirmidhi and Musnad Ahmad]
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said: "The example of guidance and knowledge with which, Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil, absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rainwater and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink from it and for irrigation of the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which, could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's religion and gets benefit (from the knowledge), which Allah has revealed through me Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) and learns and then teaches others. The last example is that of a person who does not care for it and does not take Allah's guidance revealed through me (He is like that barren land.)" [Sahih Al-Bukhari v.1 no.79. Narrated by Abu Musa]
    The Excellence of Seeking Knowledge.

    Seeking knowledge – a cure for weak Iman

    Seeking knowledge of the religion helps to achieve Taqwa (fear) from Allah and increases Iman. Allah said
    “It is only those who have knowledge amongst His slaves that fear Allah.” [Soorah Al-Fatir (35): 28]
    Generally speaking the fear is present in all believers. But the true and complete fear is present only among the people of knowledge, due to their knowledge of Allah, His Names and His attributes; they are the most eager among the men for the truth depending on the extent of their knowledge of Allah. At the head being the Prophets. Hence, when some people who took the knowledge to which, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) was guiding to be insufficient and said: “We are not like you, O Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)! Allah has forgiven your past and future sins.” Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said, “By Allah! Indeed I am the one who fears Allah the most amongst you, and the most pious of you.” [Sahaeeh Al-Bukhari]
    Seeking Knowledge - Sign of a Believer

    Knowledge is what distinguishes a believer from a hypocrite because he (a hypocrite) is abundantly acquainted of trivial things and various other useless facts, which do not benefit him, but when comes the understanding of Deen, he knows, not a thing. As also mentioned in the Book of Allah: "But the hypocrites do not understand." [Soorah Al-Munaafiqoon (63): 7]
    The sign of a believer is that he is acquainted with his Religion and is constantly increasing his knowledge about subjects that benefit him and he is desirous of all that is good, as well as the gatherings wherein it is detached.
    Seeking the knowledge of Deen is a path to Paradise, learning it more is a Jihaad. Reviewing and learning more is like Tasbeeh. As the companion of our Prophet Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), Muadh ibn Jabal (radhi allahu anhu) said: "Seek knowledge, because seeking it for the sake of Allah is a worship. And knowing it makes you more (God)ALLAH-fearing; and searching for it is jihad, teaching it to those who do not know is charity, reviewing and learning it more is like tasbeeh. Through knowledge Allah will be known and worshipped. With the knowledge Allah will elevate people and make them leaders and imams, who will in turn guide other people." [Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya vol.10, p.39]
    In the same vein, Imam Shafi’ (rahimahullah) said: "Whoever seeks the fruits of this life should gain Islamic knowledge, and whoever seeks the hereafter should gain (Islamic) knowledge." [An-Nawawi, Majmoo’ vol.1, p.12]
    Excellence of one, who seeks knowledge

    There are many ahadeeth showing the virtues and merits of those who go in search of knowledge. From them being: "Whoever treads on a path in search of Islamic knowledge, Allah will ease the way to Paradise for him. The angels will lower their wings, pleased with this seeker of knowledge, and everyone in the heavens and on earth will ask forgiveness for the knowledgeable person, even the fish in the deepest of waters will ask for his forgiveness” [Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, Tirmidhi # 2835-sahih hadith]
    Every path that he takes in search of knowledge is a way to Paradise; this is true for every path literal or otherwise. His journey from one country to another; from one circle of knowledge to another, from one mosque to another with the sole intention of seeking knowledge. These are the ways of acquiring knowledge, likewise memorizing and studying books of knowledge, perusal (reading or studying carefully), and writing even his sleep are also from the ways of seeking knowledge and the paths to Paradise.
    If the seeker of knowledge dies while, striving to acquire knowledge, then there will be a difference of one degree between him and the Prophets in Paradise.
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said: “He whom death overtakes while he is engaged in acquiring knowledge with a view to reviving Islam with the help of it, there will be one degree between him and the Prophets in Paradise.” [Al-Tirmidhi Hadith no. 249. Narrated by Al-Hasan al-Basri]
    Virtues of Scholars – People of Knowledge

    The people of knowledge are the leaders of this earth, they are the lights and lamps, and they have been preferred above everyone else. They direct the people to the way of happiness, they guide them to the means of salvation, they lead them to that which pleases Allah, the Majestic and Sublime, and His Mercy, and keep them far from that which evokes His Anger and punishment. They are the heirs of Prophets, as Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) informed us emphasizing the excellence of the people of knowledge.
    He said: “…The superiority of the knowledgeable man over the worshipper in Islam, is like the superiority of the full moon over the rest of the planets. And the scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets, but the Prophets did not leave behind wealth but they left behind knowledge. And whoever takes firm hold of this is a very fortunate man." [Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah, Tirmidhi # 2835 Sahih hadeeth]
    The message of this hadeeth is truly profound. As we all know, worship is a praiseworthy act in Islam. However, it dulls in comparison to practicing with knowledge, as is obvious from the above-mentioned hadeeth.
    Allah has honored and extolled those who posses knowledge, and raised their status high, He made them bear witness to His Oneness with sincerity and devotion. He reminds us of the exalted status that is bestowed upon them saying: “Allah will exalt in degree those of you who believe and those who have been granted knowledge.” [Soorah Mujadilah (58): 11]
    Regarding their virtues Allah says: “Allah (Himself) bears witness that La ilaha illa huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) and the Angels and those having knowledge (also give this witness).” [Soorah Aal-Imran (3): 18]
    The above mentioned verse shows the superiority of knowledge and its people, the following points can be referred from this verse:
    1. Allah chose the people of knowledge (Oolul ’ilm) to bear witness to His Oneness (Tawheed: La ilaha illa Allah) over and above the rest of His creation.
    2. Allah honored the people of knowledge by mentioning their testimony along with His testimony.
    3. He raised the status of the scholars by associating their testimony with the testimony of the angels.
    4. This verse bears witness to the superiority of those who posses knowledge because Allah does not make any of His creation bear witness except the upright amongst them. There is a well-known narration from
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam): “The upright in every generation will carry the knowledge, rejecting the distortion of the extremists, the false claims of the liars, and the false interpretation of the ignorant.” [Declared Hasan by Shaykh Saleem al-Hilaalee]
    5. Allah the One free from all defects, Himself bears witness to His Oneness, and He is the greatest witness. Then, He chose from His creation the angels and the scholars – this is sufficient to show their excellence.
    6. Allah made the scholar bear witness with the greatest and the most excellent testimony: “La ilaha illa Allaah.” We know this because Allah, the One free from all defects and the Most High does not bear witness except to matters of great importance and only the greatest of Allah’s creation bear witness to this.
    7. Allah made the testimony of the people of knowledge a proof against the rejecters. Thus, they are its proof and its signs, indicating His Oneness (Tawheed).
    8. Allah, the Most High, used a single verb (shahadah) to refer to His testimony and the testimony of the Angels and the scholars. He did not use additional verb for their testimony: thus he connected their testimony to His. This show the strong link between their testimony and Allah of testimony, as if He bore witness to His Oneness upon their tongue and made them utter this testimony.

    9. Allah, the One free from all defects made the scholars fulfill His right (that none has the right to be worshipped but Him) through this testimony and if they fulfill it, then they have fulfilled and established this right of Allah upon them. Then, it is obligatory upon mankind to accept this right of Allah upon them. Then it is obligatory upon mankind to accept this final return, this testimony, which, is the means to reach happiness in this life and in their final return (to Allah). Whosoever takes this guidance from the scholars and accepts this truth because of their testimony, then for the scholars there is a reward equal to them. And none knows the value of this rewards but Allah.
    The Most High explained clearly that there is none equal to them: “Say: Are those who know equal with those who know not? It is only men of understanding that will remember (i.e. get lesson from Allah’s Signs and Verses)” [Soorah Az-Zumar (39): 9]
    And the Mighty and Majestic distinguished the people of Knowledge from the ignorant. He said: “Shall he then who knows that what has been revealed unto you (O
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) from your Rabb is the truth be like him who is blind? But it is only the men of understanding that pay heed.” [Soorah Ar-Raa’d (13): 19]
    Therefore, the people of knowledge and the ignorant are not alike. There is an immense difference between the knowledgeable and the ignorant. It is the difference between one who knows the truth and obtains insight through its light and acts accordingly to its guidance until he meets his Rabb achieving success with nobility, and the on who is blind to this way and follows his desires taking the path of Shaytan.

    Sincere Intention

    Absolute sincerity should be ensured in our intention and action, since intentions are the foundation actions.
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said: “The actions are Innama (only, certainty) tied to the intentions and every person will earn that which he intended. Therefore, he whose migration was for Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) then his migration will be for Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) . And he whose migration was to achieve some worldly gain or to take a woman in marriage, then his migration will be for that for which he migrated.” [Related by Saheeh al-Bukhari, and Muslim]
    This hadeeth establishes a very important principle and foundation of the Deen, [1]
    One who corrects his intention in seeking knowledge and only the Face of Allah, is on the road to salvation and happiness. Knowledge should be sought for the right reasons: for its implementation (acting according to the knowledge) not for the sake of ostentation (Riyaa), fame or for any other gain.
    Because Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said: “The thing I fear for you the most is Shirk Al-Asgar (the minor Shirk)!” The Companions (radhi allahu anhu) asked: “O Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)! What is Shirk al-Asgar?” He replied: “Ostentation (showing off)” [Saheeh reported by Ahmed]
    Baihaqee reported the addition of shu’ab al-Eman. “…On the Day of Judgement, Allah will reward people for their deeds, He will say: “ Go to those for whose attention and praise you did these deeds and see whether you will find with them any reward!”
    A proper student is concerned with all those paths that lead to knowledge. He seeks it desiring the Face of Allah’s (pleasure of Allah) and a home in Paradise, to be acquainted with the Deen and reflect upon it, to have insight into what Allah has made incumbent upon him and what He has prohibited him from. He attempts to gain abundant knowledge, to be amongst the guided callers striving for the truth, guide people, bring them out of darkness into the light, so he seeks knowledge and acts upon it. Teaches others about the good that a Muslim is ordered to do…etc. So wherever he turns he is in great excellence with these correct intentions contrary to the one who has an evil intention, for he is in great danger.
    It is related in a hadeeth, where Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) makes us aware of the punishment of those who seek the knowledge of Deen for other than the pleasure of Allah. He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: "Whoever seeks Islamic knowledge only for worldly gain, he would not even smell the scent of Paradise on the Day of Judgement," [(Sahih) Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah. Narrated Abu Huraira]
    He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) also said: “If anyone acquires knowledge of things by which Allah’s good pleasure is sought but instead he acquires it only to get worldly advantage, he will not smell the fragrance of Paradise on the Day of Reckoning.” [Abu Dawood with a sound chain of narration (Ibn Baaz)]
    In another hadeeth, K‘ab ibn Malik :narrated that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said: "Whoever seeks knowledge to argue with the scholars, or to show off with the ignorant people, and attracts the faces of the people towards him, Allah would enter him into the Hellfire." [Hasan - Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah]
    The first of the people who will be thrown into the Fire will be from amongst those who acquired knowledge and recited the Qur’aan for others besides Allah, hoping that it might be said: ‘He is a scholar or it might be said, he is a reciter.’
    On the authority of Abu Huraira (radhi allahu anhu) who said: I heard Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) saying: “… (Another) will be a man who has acquired knowledge (Ilm) and has taught it and who used to recite the Qur’aan. He will be brought (on the Day of Judgement) and Allah will make known to him His favors and he will acknowledge them. The All Mighty will say: “And what did you do about them? He will say: “I studied knowledge and taught it and recited the Qur’aan for your sake. He will say: “ You have lied- you did acquire knowledge so that it might be said (of you): ‘He is learned.’ Then, he will be ordered to be dragged along on his face until he is cast into the Hellfire...” [Saheeh Muslim # 4688, narrated Abu Huraira, At-Tirmidhee and an-Nisaee]
    The main message to be gained from these ahadeeth is that true and sincere knowledge should yield goodness which, should manifest itself in one’s practice of Islam. Knowledge without such fruit is completely futile (useless)
    Hence, it is indeed a very serious sin to commit such grave action as to preach about Islam without a sincere intention. Moreover, it is essential to act on what you know to be of true and correct knowledge. Failure to fulfill with such guidelines would subsequently result in most grievous consequences, in both this life and the Hereafter.
    Al-Hasan al-Basree, rahimahullaah, said: "Whoever learns something in the name of Allah, seeking that, which is with Him, he will win. And whoever learns something for other than Allah, he will not reach the goal, nor will his acquired knowledge bring him closer to Allaah." [Related by Ibn al Jawzee]
    Trials take place when knowledge is sought for other than Action.

    On the authority of Alee’ (radhi allahu anhu) that he made mention of trials at the end of time. Umar (radhi allahu anhu) asked him: “When will that be O Alee’?” He said: “When understanding of the Religion is sought for other purposes, and knowledge is acquired for other than acting upon, and worldly gain is sought with the actions of the Hereafter. [Reported by Abdar Razzak in his musannaf as a statement of Alee’ Saheeh at-Targeeh wat-Tarheeh # 106]
    Seeking Beneficial Knowledge and Refuge from the Knowledge that does not benefit.

    One should ask Allah, the All Knowledgeable, for Knowledge that is beneficial to him, as Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is known to be beseech Allah for the same, he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) used to say: "O Allah, grant me benefit in what You have taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase my knowledge. Praise be to Allah in all circumstances. I seek refuge in Allah from the state of those who go to Hell." [Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a tradition whose isnad is gharib]
    One should also be aware of the knowledge that does not benefit and beseech Allah and seek refuge form it, as was done by Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) .
    On the authority of Zayd ibn Arqam (radhi allahu anhu) that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) used to say: “O Allah I seek refuge in You from knowledge which does not benefit, from a heart that does not feel humble, from a soul that does not feel contended and from an invocation that is not answered. [Muslim. Eng. Vol. 4, # 6568 and others.]

    [1] Ash –Shawkhani [one of the greatest faqihs and mujtaheds. (1173-1250)] said: “This hadeeth is one of the basis of the religion. Although this is only one hadeeth, it deserves to be explained in a volume by itself.” The scholars held this hadith in such a high position that they would usually start their books by mentioning this hadeeth, in order for those who seek knowledge of the religion to start their quest by correcting their niyyah.
    Indications of beneficial Knowledge

    Indications that knowledge is beneficial are that it leads to fine character, good manners, praiseworthy attributes and Taqwa (fear of Allah). He whose knowledge does not cause him to weep, can be justifiably considered not to have been granted beneficial knowledge; since Allah described the people of knowledge saying:
    “Say believe in it (the Qur’aan) or do not believe. Verily, those who were given the knowledge before it, when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in humble prostration. And they say: “Glory be our Rabb! Truly the promise of our Rabb must be fulfilled. And they fall down on their faces weeping and it adds to their humility.” [Soorah Al-Israa (17): 107-109]
    Indeed, expression of grief and fear (through weeping) is the clearest sign and best proof of the knowledge one possesses and one’s truthfulness. Since he is acquainted about Allah’s Exalted, Perfect, Lofty Attributes, which causes his heart to humble. He has read in the Book of Allah and the sayings of Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam), texts pertaining to the Fire, the terrors of grave and the fearful accounts of the Resurrection which brings about fear in his heart and causes his eyes to shed tears, verses pertaining to Paradise and everlasting bliss compel him to strive for it. He turns to Allah in humbleness, invoking Allah with sincerity, for his sins to be forgiven in this life and the Hereafter, hoping to attain the Pleasure of Allah, entering Paradise and being saved from the Fire.
    And Indeed this act of his i.e. supplication, is a cause of attaining the Love and Pleasure Allah : Allah says in the Final Revelation: “Say: My Rabb pays attention to you only because of your invocation to Him.” [Soorah al-Furqaan (25): 77]
    Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) emphasized the fact that invocation is the noblest and the best form of worship as indicated in his saying: “Invocation is worship” [Abu Dawood and Saheeh at-Tirmidhee # 2590]
    “The best form of worship is invocation.” [Al-Hakim and others. As-Silsilah as-Saheehah # 1579]
    He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) further said: “No form of worship is better in the sight of Allah than invocation” [Musnad Ahmad # 8733, Al-Bukhari chp: 296, Saheeh at-Tirmidhee # 2684 and others.]
    However, the servant is not granted the acceptance unless he is sincere and true in his supplication, as Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)said: “… and know that Allah doesn’t accept the invocation of an averted, inattentive heart.” [An-Nawawi mentioned in Sharah Saheeh Muslim, Kitaab-ul Eeman # 365]
    And certainly, invocation is one of the means of relieving oneself from the Fire. As Allah says in His Book: And Your Rabb said: “Invoke Me and I will answer your (invocation). Verily those who scorn My worship, they will surely enter Hell in humiliation.” [Soorah Ghafir (40): 60]
    And as indicated in the saying of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), When Aa’isha (radhi allahu anha) asked Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) about Abu Jud’aan Sayin, “O Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), in the days of Jahiliyah, Ibn Jud’aan would join ties of relationship and feed the poor, so will that benefit him any?” He said: “No, O Aaisha t! He never once said: “O my Rabb, forgive me my sins on the Day of Judgement.” [Saheeh Muslim. Eng. Vol. 1, # 416] and others. See as-Silsilah as-Saheehah # 249.]
    So Ibn Jud’aan’s not turning to Allah in supplication caused him eternal abode of Hellfire.
    Sufyaan Ath-Thawree, rahimahullaah, said: "The excellence of knowledge is due only to the fact that it causes a person to fear and obey Allah, otherwise it is just like anything else." [Related by ibn Rajab]
    Consequently, Knowledge that leads to (Taqwa) fear Allah, supplicate to Him with humbleness and sincerity, is the beneficial Knowledge.
    How to Acquire Knowledge?

    Knowledge is acquired by exploring and studying the Deen of Islaam, known according to the saying of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam): “Knowledge is acquired by studying..” [Shaykh Al-Albanee’s Silsilatul Ahadeeth as-Saheehah (1/605/342)]
    Sources of Knowledge.

    Narrated Jabir Ibn Abdullah (radhi allahu anhu): “When Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) gave a Khutbah (sermon) his eyes became reddened, his voice raised, and his anger grew to the extent that it were as if he were one exhorting an army saying. “They will attack you morning and evening,” and he would say, “I have been sent along with the (Last) Hour like these two and he joined his forefingers and middle finger, and would say, “To proceed: Indeed the best speech is the book of Allah and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) and the worst affairs are the newly invented matters, and every innovation is misguidance.” [Saheeh - Muslim eng.trans. vol.2, p.410, no. 1885]
    From Abdullah ibn Mas’ood (radhi allahu anhu) who said: “Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) drew a line for us, then he said: “This is my Way.” Then he drew lines to it’s right and left and said: “These are different ways, upon each is a devil calling to it.” Then he recited: “And verily this is my straight path, so follow it, and do not follow other paths for they will separate you away from His Path.” [Soorah An’am (6):153] [Hasan -Ahmad (1/435, 465) ]
    Clarification of the way

    Al-Irbaad Ibn Saaryah who said: Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) gave us an admonition which caused our to shed tears and the hearts to fear, so we said: “O Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), this is as if it were a farewell sermon, so with what do you counsel us?” So he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said, “I have left you upon clear proofs, its night if like its day, no one deviates from it except one who is destroyed, and whoever lives (long) from amongst you will see great controversy. So stick to what you know from my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the orthodox, rightly guided caliphs. Cling to that with your molar teeth, and stick to obedience even if it is took an Abyssinian slave since the believer is like the submissive camel, wherever he is led, he follows.” [Ahmad 4/126, Ibn Majah # 43, Haakim 1/96, Baihaqee in al-Madkhal # 51]
    So the way is white and pure, manifest and untainted, such that its night is like its day! And so are the its signposts, as mentioned in the hadeeth of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam): “O people I have left amongst you that which if you cling onto you will never go astray: The Book of Allah and my Sunnah.” [Hasan – Haakim (1/93), al- Baihaqee (10/114) and iBn Hazam in al-Ahkaam (/108)]
    Consequently, the two main signposts for this way are the Book and the Sunnah, there is a fine point here which must be noted and mentioned, that being the matter of how these two references points are to be understood – and the answer is that it can only be understood by the criterion.
    The Criterion

    Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)was asked: “Which of the people are the best?” So he replied: “Myself and those with me, and then those who follow them, and then those who follow them.” [Hasan - Ahmad (2/297, 340)]
    Then it is as if he declined those who remained. So the criterion for the correct understanding of the Book and the Sunnah is the practice of the Companions and those who followed their way after them since they are the best of the people, and those who do not follow their way contain no good. Whoever claims to be following the Book and the Sunnah without this criterion, then without doubt they are going astray.
    What to start with?

    Tawheed is the first matter, which is obligatory for a person to have knowledge of, since it is the first pillar of Islam, one does not enter Islam without it.
    This is also known by the hadeeth narrated by Ibn Abbaas (radhi allahu anhu): “When Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) sent Mua’dh (radhi allahu anhu) to the people of Yemen he said to him: “You are going to the people of the Book. So let the first thing you call them to that they should make all worship solely for Allaah, the Most High. So if they realize that then inform them that Allah has obliged upon them zakaat from their wealth – to be taken from their riches and given to their poor. If they accept then take it from them, but avoid the best part of the people’s property. [Al-Bukhari, Eng. trans. vol.9, p.348, no.469 and Muslim Eng. trans. Vol.1, p.15, no.28]
    Allah, the All Merciful, also emphasized this essence by pointing out to the basis of salvation i.e. Tawheed without which, it is impossible to be forgiven. He said: “So know (O Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam)) that La ilaha illa Allah’ And ask forgiveness for your sins and …” [Soorah Muhammad (47): 19]
    “Verily! Allah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners with Allah in worship with Him, but He forgives whom he pleases sins other than that, and whomever sets up partners in worship with Allah, has indeed strayed far away.” [Soorah An-Nisa: (4): 116]
    The above mentioned verses establish that Allah orders us through Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam), to know first that La ilaha illa Allah i.e. Tawheed and then ask forgiveness, he also emphasized that He does not forgive shirk (i.e. setting up rivals in worship with Him) except complete Tawheed, therefore most importantly a Muslim must seek the knowledge of Allah’s Unity, Tawheed, which opposes Shirk and all that relates to it in the first place.
    This essence is also manifested when we contemplate over the Manhaj (way) of Prophet Muhammad’s (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) Dawah. He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) after attaining the Prophet-hood lived in Makkah for 13 years. In this entire period he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) invited people to affirm of only one formula, he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “O People say ‘La ilaha illalla’ and you will prosper.” Apart from this there was no mentioning of performing Prayers, Fasting, Zakaat, Hajj etc. The invitation was only to one belief viz; the Unity of Allah. The main theme of the Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) during his life in Makkah was to lay a strong foundation in the Unity of Allah.
    As the Prophet’s wife – Aaishah (radhi allahu anha) narrated, “(Be informed) that the first thing that was revealed thereof was a Soorah from Al-Mufassal, and in it was mentioned Paradise and the Fire. When the people embraced Islam, the Verses regarding legal and illegal things were revealed. If the first thing to be revealed was: 'Do not drink alcoholic drinks,' people would have said, 'We will never leave alcoholic drinks,' and if there had been revealed, 'Do not commit illegal sexual intercourse,' they would have said, 'We will never give up illegal sexual intercourse.' While I was a young girl of playing age, the following Verse was revealed in Mecca to Muhammad: 'Nay! But the Hour is their appointed time (for their full recompense), and the Hour will be more grievous and more bitter.' [Soorah al-Qamar (54): 46] [Sahih al-Bukhari vol.6, no.515.]
    This is because all the actions depend on the heart’s conviction (belief) and therefore, heart is considered as the most important organ of the body, known in a Hadeeth of Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said:
    “Indeed, there is a piece of flesh in your body that, if it be sound, then the whole body will be sound and if it be corrupt then the whole body will be corrupt. Indeed, it is the heart.” [Saheeh Muslim (4/6221)]
    Acting upon the Knowledge is Obligatory

    While proceeding in knowledge, one should always be aware of busying himself with the means [(i.e. gathering knowledge) for knowledge is the tool of action] at the expense of goals [worship of Allah], so much that the intend behind it become oblivious. Acting in accordance with the knowledge should not be neglected. Before assembling more knowledge one should first turn to the knowledge which has already been collected. One should spend time doing things that, which has been made obligatory, before anything else. For the fear that this might fall under the saying of Allah:
    “The mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you.” [Soorah at-Takaathur (102): 1]
    And the fact that the virtues and Merits of Knowledge vary depending upon the adherence to it. So if the action is less then the knowledge, the scholar’s knowledge is a burden upon him. Just as wealth has no benefit unless it is spent, knowledge does not benefit except one acts upon it and observes its obligations.
    Abu Hurairah (radhi allahu anhu) said: “ The example of knowledge not acted upon is like the treasure, none of which, is spent in the way of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. “
    Whoever speaks good things yet does not act righteously; Allah does not accept his good speech. Whereas he who speaks good things and works righteous acts, his speech is raised by his good deeds. That is because Allah said: “To Him ascends the goodly word, and the righteous actions raises it.” [Soorah al-Faatir (35): 10]
    Ibn Mas`ood, (radhi allahu anhu) said: "True knowledge is not measured in relationship to how much you memorize and then narrate, but rather, true knowledge is an expression of piety [protecting oneself from what Allah prohibited and acting upon what He mandated]."Also, "Study and act upon what you learn." [Related by Abu Na`eem]
    Verses of the Qur’aan regarding the Rewards of Actions

    Allah says in the Qur’aan: “Eat and drink with happiness because of what you used to do.” [Soorah at-Toor (52): 19]
    And it will be cried out to them: “This is the Paradise you have inherited for what you have inherited for what you used to do!” [Soorah al-A’raaf (7): 43]
    Thus, Allah rewards the pious, those whose lives the Angels take while, they are in a pious state saying: ‘Peace be upon you, enter your Paradise because of that which you used to do.” [Soorah an-Nahl: (16): 32]
    The Punishment of not acting upon one’s knowledge.

    Narrated Ibn al-Khattab (radhi allahu anhu) that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Islam will dominate so that traders frequent the seas and horses enter into the path of Allah. Then there will appear a people who will recite the Qur’aan saying: “Who amongst us has memorized the most Qur’aan? Who is most knowledgeable of us? Which one of us has the most understanding? Then he asked the companions: “Is there any good in them?” They replied, “Allah and His Messenger know best,” He said, “They are from you and from this Ummah and they are from the fuel of the Fire.” [Reported by At-Tabaranee in Al-Awsat and al-Bazaar, Saheeh at-Targeeh wa-Tarheeh # 131.]
    Allah makes clear the destination of all created beings. Their different ascending and descending ranks will only be in accordance to their actions:"O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? Most hateful it is in the sight of Allah that you say that which you do not do," [Soorah As-Saff (61): 2-3]
    Hindrances in Action

    On the authority of Aboo Bakr Ibn Abdullah ibn Qays from his father who, said that he heard his father say whilst he was facing the enemy “The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Surely, the gates of Paradise are under the shadows of the swords. A man in a shabby condition got up and said: “Abu Musa, did you hear the Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) of Allah (peace be upon him) say this? He said: ‘Yes. (The narrator said): He returned to his friends and said: ‘I greet you (a farewell greeting). Then he broke the sheath of his sword, threw it away, advanced with his (naked) sword towards the enemy and fought (them) with it until he was killed“ [Sahih Muslim no 468]
    On the authority of Jabir (radhi allahu anhu) who said: ‘A man said: “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) where will I be if I am killed?” He replied: “In Paradise” So he threw the dates he had in his hands then went and fought until he was killed.” [Muslim Eng. Vol.3, page 1052, # 4681.]
    “A man in a shabby condition got up and said: ‘Abu Musa, did you hear the Messenger of Allah say this?”
    So the first thing we must race towards is to remove all that is unauthentic attributes to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam)
    “Then he broke the sheath of his sword, threw it away, advanced with his (naked) sword towards the enemy and fought (them) with it until he was killed.”
    Then, after removing the important barrier, he (man in a shabby condition) broke the sheath of his sword not even thinking about returning.
    Similarly, the Companion (radhi allahu anhu) who asked the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) about his place if he was killed, as soon as he heard about Paradise, he threw away the dates that were in his hand only because he believed that these dates would delay him and hinder him from entering Paradise.
    So Secondly, as a result one should hasten to do good deeds and righteous actions as ones ability, and refrain from delaying and being lazy, keeping the saying of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam): “There is hesitation I everything except in the actions of the Hereafter.” [Aboo Dawood # 4792, [Shaykh Al-Albanee’s Silsilatul Ahadeeth as-Saheehah # 1794]
    Islam consists of acting and abstaining, so it becomes important for us to build the levels of knowledge and actions upon a firm foundation, as the Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “From a man’s perfecting his religion is his leaving alone that does not concern him.” [Musnad Ahmed, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Majah and others. Sharah Aqeedah at-Tahawiyyah # 268]
    It is understood from this narration that from a man’s deficiency in his religion is his indulging in that, which does not concern him. This includes everything of secondary importance, whichever form it may take. What should concern a believer is all that relates to the essentials of his lively-hood, he should be concerned with all that relates to his salvation in the Hereafter, that being Islam, Eeman, Ihsan.
    Whereas striving to accomplish other than that is loss of irreplaceable valuable time. In this way knowledge, speech and studies are purified, every attribute denounced in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah is removed and what remains are the beneficial and worthy actions. This is the way a Muslim arranges and plans his affairs with generosity whether it be intention, speech or actions. As mentioned in a hadeeth:
    “Verily Allah the All Mighty and Majestic is Generous, He loves generosity and noble character and hates the despicable character.” [As-Silsilah As-Saheehah #1378]
    Spreading Knowledge is an Obligation

    Allah has ordered us to spread His Deen amongst the people, which reads: “Invite to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching and argue with them in a way that is better.” [Soorah An-Nahl (16): 125]
    The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alahi wa-sallam) said: “The first defect that permeated Banu Isra'il was that a man (of them) met another man and said: O so-and-so, fear Allah, and abandon what you are doing, for it is not lawful for you. He then met him the next day and that did not prevent him from eating with him, drinking with him and sitting with him. When they did so. Allah mingled their hearts with each other. He then recited the verse: "curses were pronounced on those among the children of Isra'il who rejected Faith, by the tongue of David and of Jesus the son of Mary"...up to "wrongdoers". He then said: By no means, I swear by Allah, you must enjoin what is good and prohibit what is evil, prevent the wrongdoer, bend him into conformity with what is right, and restrict him to what is right.” [Sunan of Abu-Dawood # 4322, narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud]
    The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said encouraged making Dawah by addressing it as a Sadaqa: "Enjoining all that is good is a Sadaqa." [Sahih Al-Bukhari # 8.50, narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah]
    The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) forbade his Ummah to refrain from enjoining good and forbidding evil. He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) also alarmed us from the punishment of Allah, if we desist in it. He said: “By Him in Who’s Hand is my soul, you will enjoin good and prohibit evil or (else), Allah will soon send upon you a punishment from Him, then you will call Him and He will not answer you.” [Ahmad Musnad, Saheeh At-Tirmidhee. No. 1712]
    The Excellence of the Caller and Calling to the Path of Salvation

    Allah praises the one who invites with knowledge in His Book, He said: “And who is better in speech than he who invites to Allah and does good deeds ...” [Soorah Fussilat (41): 33]
    Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) supplicated for him who spreads the Deen of Allah, saying: “May Allah be well pleased with the servant who heard our words, remembered them, retained them well and then passed them on to others.” [Shafi'i reported it and also Bayhaqi in Al-Madkhal. [Al-Tirmidhi # 228, narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud]
    Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for the deceased)” [Sahih Muslim # 4005, narrated by Abu Hurayrah]
    Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) pointed towards the superiority of calling and inviting people to the path of salvation, saying (to Ali (radhi allahu anhu)): “If Allah guides a man through your help, it is better (for you) than red camels. (Red camels at that time were from among the people's most precious possession.) [Saheeh al-Bukhari and Muslim]
    Once, when Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) happened to pass by two groups (of Muslims) in the mosque, he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Both of them are good, but one is superior to the other. One group is supplicating Allah and praying Him. If He so wills He will confer upon them and if He so wills He will withhold. So far as those who are acquiring the understanding of religion and its knowledge and are busy in teaching the ignorant, they are superior. Verily, I have been sent as a teacher. He then sat down amongst them.” [Al-Tirmidhi, 257 narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr]
    Those who acquire knowledge and then spread it are the most generous after Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam): He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Do you know who is most generous? They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) know best. Whereupon he said: ‘Allah is the Most Generous, then I am most generous to mankind and the most generous people after me would be those who will acquire knowledge and then disseminate (spread) it. He will come on the Day of Resurrection singly, like a ruler, or he said: As a single Ummah. [Al-Tirmidhi, no. 259. Narrated by Anas ibn Malik]
    The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) emphasized the reward for a Da’ee, due to whom people benefit and perform good deeds. He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said:“Whoever guides or directs to good, then he gets the same amount of blessing as the one who does it." [Saheeh Muslim]
    He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) also brought to our attention the punishment of him, who conceals his knowledge, saying: “Whoever acquires knowledge and keeps it concealed, Allah will bridle (check, control) him with a bridle of fire on the Day of Resurrection.” [Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah, At-Tirmidhi]
    Whom to start with?

    One should start with ones own-self and then progressing by his family and others. As Allah says in the Qur’aan: “O you who believe! Ward off from yourself and your families a Fire whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern and severe, who disobey not, from executing the Commands they receive from Allah, but do that which they are commanded.” [Soorah at-Tahreem (66): 6]
    Characteristics of a Da’ee - (The inviter to Allah’s path, one who gives Dawah)

    It is essential for a Daa’ee to correct his intention so that he sees all the affairs in their true perspectives so that they are not disguised (dressed) by false adornments (decoration), keeping in mind the saying of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam).
    “The actions are Innama (only, certainty) tied to the intentions and every person will earn that which he intended.” [Bukhari, and Muslim]
    When his heart is settled with good and sincere intention, then it will be easy for him to realize the true state of the Ummah today, and the humiliation, which the Muslims are suffering.
    A Daa’ee should strive towards beneficial knowledge and righteous actions and bear in mind to set a good example with fine character, for actions speak louder than words. Everybody’s eyes are on him, so he should act in accordance with the responsibility he is given, in knowledge; actions and Dawah, having patience upon any harm people may cause. As this was the attitude of our beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) through his whole life.
    The Daa’ee should take great care about being lazy about what Allah has made obligatory and from falling into that which He has forbidden – for others will follow him in it. It is important that he takes care in reviving the Sunnah, in order to encourage the people to follow it. It is an obligation and responsibility of the people of knowledge over and above everyone else.
    The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Everyone is a shepherd, and is responsible for his flock.” [1]
    Daa’ee guides them to the ways of salvation and prevent them from the ways of destruction; implants between them love for Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam), being firmly established upon His Deen, yearning for Allah’s Paradise and His Mercy, being cautious of the Fire of Hell, for it is and evil abode.
    He should be aware of saying ‘Soon’ - Abdullah bin 'Umar (radhi allahu anhu) said, "Allah's Apostle (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) took hold of my shoulder and said, 'Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler." The sub-narrator added: Ibn 'Umar (radhi allahu anhu) used to say, "If you survive till the evening, do not expect to be alive in the morning, and if you survive till the morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening, and take from your health for your sickness, and (take) from your life for your death." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, # 8.425. Narrated by Mujahid]
    Time is of utmost value, it is one of the principle blessings from Allah, so seize the opportunity and take from it what is good and beware of saying soon, for the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “There are two blessings which many people lose. (They are) health and free time for doing good.” [Saheeh al-Bukhari 8: 421]
    The value of time can be seen from what the scholars of tafseer say regarding Soorah al-Asr (no.103) where Allah swore an oath by time: “By al-Asr (time), man is in lost.” [Soorah al-Asr (103: 1-2]
    Fakhrur Razee says in his Tafseer (32/84): “Allah, the Most High, swore an oath by time, due to the amazing things it contains happiness and adversity, health and illness, and wealth and poverty all occur in it, and nothing is equal to it in value. So if you were to waste a thousand years uselessly, but then repent and success was confirmed for you in the last moment of your life then you will remain in Paradise forever. The best of all things was your life at that moment. Time is one of the blessings, so Allah swears an oath by it, and indicates that the day and the night is an opportunity which mankind wastes! And that the time is more excellent than the place – so He swears an oath by it, since time a pure blessing containing no blemish, rather the one at loss and the blameworthy is man!
    The caller should be careful and precise in everything what he hears from the people or what he reads in books. It is obligatory upon him to carefully check and verify everything, which reaches his hears before spreading.
    Narrated Aboo Hurayrah t who said that Allah’s Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said: “It is sufficient falsehood for a person that he narrates everything which he hears” [Hasan- Muslim: 5, Abu Dawood:. 4971, Ibn Hibban:.30.al-Haakim. 1/112.]
    Do not under take giving lectures and lessons without thorough preparations, as your role is one of great importance, one shouldn’t take it lightly. It is sad to see a Daa’ee goes to lecture not knowing what he will say?
    Do not relate a hadeeth unless you know that the people of knowledge have ruled in favor to its authenticity.
    Do not hasten to give fatawas without verification, for passing ruling without knowledge is a great sin and it’s punishment is severe
    Desist from saying “There is a difference in opinion in this issue” or “There are two opinions in this issue” in order to flee from teaching the true position. It is incumbent upon the people of knowledge that they adhere to the great principles (beliefs, ideology) of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
    . Call people to it and direct the students to it, making sure that there objective is always, “Allah said…” and Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)said…” acting accordingly, directing and guiding people to it.
    Divisions and disputes are not permissible, nor to invite people to join one group or another, nor to take the opinion of this person or the sayings of another. Rather it is necessary that the call is one: the Call to Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam): the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) : nor to the madhhab of this person or the dawah of the other: nor to this persons group or the opinion of another.
    It is incumbent upon the Muslims that their way and their goals are one – and that is adherence to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam).
    As for what yields from the differences amongst the people of knowledge in the four schools of thought and others, then it is compulsory that you take from that which is closest to the truth. That is the saying, which is closest to what Allah has said in the Qur’aan and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) in the Hadeeths.
    This is the way of the scholars, as it was the way of the Sahabah (radhi allahu anhu) who are the scholars after Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam). They were the most knowledgeable of people with regards to Allah and they were the best of people and most perfect in knowledge and manners. They also differed in some issues but still their call was one and their way was one, calling to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam). Likewise, those who came after them, they forbade their students from Taqleed [2] saying ‘take from where we took.’ Meaning the Qur’aan and the Sunnah.
    Whoever is ignorant of the truth then it is compulsory for him to ask the people of knowledge, who are recognized with knowledge, merit, correct aqeedah, and biography of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) .
    The Most High says in His Book: “ So ask the people of knowledge if you know not.” [Soorah an-Nahl (16): 43]
    If the scholars differ then it is compulsory to return to Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam):
    “… if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger …” [Soorh an-Nisaa (4): 59]
    “And in whatsoever you differ, the decision thereof is with Allah…” [Soorah ash-Shoorah (42): 10]
    It is essential that the goal of the Muslim is one and that is to follow the Book of Allah and Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) in all instances: in hardship and in comfort, in difficulty and in ease, when traveling and when residing – in every condition. When the people of knowledge differ, then one should look at their saying and support that which is in agreement with the evidence without prejudice against anyone.
    [1] The full text is as follows: Abdulla Ibn Umar (radhi Allahu anhu) narrates that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
    said “Everyone is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The ruler is a shepherd and is responsible for his subjects a man is a shepherd for hid households, and the woman is a guardian and is responsible for her husband’s house and his offspring. The slave of a man is a guardian of his master’s property and he is responsible for it. Surely each of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.” [Reported by Imaam al-Bukhari in his Sunnah]
    [2] Taqleed- Blind Following: Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (rahimahullah) says in his Nooniyyah: “Knowledge is the realization of the guidance with its proofs – that and blind following are not equal.
    Imaam Ibn al-Jawzee (rahimahullah) says in Talbees Ibless: “Know that verily the blind followers does not have any trust in what he follows. Taqleed suspends the use of the intellect, whereas the intellect is created for thinking and reasoning. It is stupidity when a man is given light to show him the way, he extinguishes it and walks in darkness.”
