Muslimah_Sis: You know we don't believe that islamically right?
Hana_Aku: People from polytheistic religions mainly follow that ideology.
cheese: True true... but what do they believe?
*charisma*: I think they believe that if they lead a good life, they might be reincarnated into something like a queen or king. But if they do evil, they might turn into something like a snake or a rat.
cheese: Lol - so in their beliefs - ratties probably been a bad boy in the past.. naughty rat!

Tayyaba: Okay - Aa'isha (radhiAllaahu anha) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (sal Allaahu alayhi waSalam - peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“There are four things which are faasiq (corrupt) and may be killed at all times, whether one is in a state of ihraam [for Hajj and ‘Umrah] or not: kites*, crows, [URL="http://www.islamicboard.com/235419-post22.html"]mice/rats and mad dogs.” and its Narrated by Muslim, 1198.[/URL]

PiNk_n_PoSh: Whats it with you and cats man!?
*charisma*: Don't you know - cats are soo clean, that the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) even did wudhu from the water left over by a cat.
Umm Hamza:

Al-Mu'minah: Hear what sister? :?

PiNk_n_PoSh: Wheres the shoe already!
*amirah comes running in* "wait up! its here! i think it was imported from Yemen..
Umm_Shaheed: "Where's my AK?" she whispers to herself. She starts to search through the side pockets of her jilbaab/veil.
[mouse]mouse: PiNk_n_PoSh, tell her to leave me alone. I hate her.. wallaahi / Allaah di kasmé / By Allaah! i won't steal any cheese today :unhappy: *squeak* [/mouse]
PiNk_n_PoSh: aww..
Umm_Shaheed: Here it is! *reloads gun - click click* I only had 1 bullet left anywayz..
*Meanwhile - ratty crawls off to his little house, while everyones attention has suddenly diverted to someone else*
A shadow enters into the room. Everything's silent now...
Umm_Shaheed grips her weapon tighter - "whos that?" she whispers..
PiNk_n_PoSh: I dno...
Halima: Allaah Almighty knows best.
*The shadow silently approaches.. then sits down.*
Umm_Shaheed: Who are you?! And what are you doing here!??
_____ : "I've come here to give you glad tidings/good news..." the voice whispers..
*The room is silent, so everyone hears the voice clearly...*
amirah_87: What did she say!? sorry, i was tring to look for the rat. He's ran away somewhere ;D
Labibah: Shh.. the sister has to say something important.
_____ : Did you hear about the police outside? she asked in a low and quiet whisper.
cheese: Yeah - they get me soo mad.. Allaah azawajal will destroy them like the people of
'Aad and
Thamud insha'Allaahu ta'aala.
_____ : Allaah subhanahu wa ta'aala does Have the Power to do that.. like you might have seen the
hurricane katrina in the US etc. But these miracles were especially for the
nations before the
Bani Israeel (children of Israeel) - like you said, the people of
'Aad,
Thamud,
the people of Prophet Lut (peace be upon him) and even
Pharoah at the time of Musa (Moses - peace be upon him.) All of them were killed by natural disasters sent by Allaah azawajal!
PiNk_n_PoSh: How come da bad people aren't destroyed now though?
_____ :
That's because Allaah chose for this nation - the nation/ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and for the nation of the Bani Israeel to fight with their own hands against the enemy, and Allaah Almighty would destroy them with the believers hands.
Umm_Shaheed: Yup, with swords and gunz
anonymous: But i thought islam was a peaceful religion?
Umm_Shaheed: Yeah it is.. but it's a religion of justice too. So if someone slaps you on the cheek, you have the right to defend yourself.
anonymous: OK :statisfie
Ladee_Maryam: But how did the other nations be protected from the punishment?
Mawaddah: They made hijrah for the sake of pleasing Allaah Almighty. Hijrah is like movig from one place to another, for example - when the muslims were tortured in Mecca for following islam - they made hijrah to Abysinnia & later to Medinah so that they could worship Allaah properly. The same with the nations before.
Also:
In The Noble Qur'an - An-Nisa 4:97-98 - Allaah Almighty says:
Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): "In what (condition) were you?" They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on earth." They (angels) say: "Was not the earth of Allâh spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil destination!
Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way.
and Also:
[22:58] Those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah, and are then slain or die,- On them will Allah bestow verily a goodly Provision: Truly Allah is He Who bestows the best provision.
[22:59] Verily He will admit them to a place with which they shall be well pleased: for Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
It was narrated by Amr Ibn Al-Aas; “When Islam entered my heart, I went to the Messenger of Allah and said: ‘Give me your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you.’ The Prophet spread his hand, but I withdrew mine. He said, ‘What is wrong Amr?’ I said, ‘I want to make a condition.’ ‘And what is that?’ he said. I said, ‘That Allah will forgive me.’ Then the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Did you not know that Islam wipes out what came before it, and that Hijrah wipes out what came before it and that Hajj wipes out what came before it!’”
It's in Saheeh Muslim, number 121 insha'Allaah.
amirah_87: masha'Allaah thats so kool! Remember when we were in damaaj..
Nawal89: I miss it soo much. Even all the sursurs sometimes wallah.
Mawaddah: Everytime I see those pics I feel like i want to cry too you know :'( :'( I want to go back soooooooo bad , I miss the goats too *sniffle* :laugh:
Umm_Shaheed: *Ahem* can we carry on now.. :rollseyes
Mawaddah & amirah: Oh.. sorry :statisfie :statisfie
Rabi'ya: So what was the good news you were going to give us sister?
_____ :Allaah azawajal knows best.. but it seems like the hour is near.. This is the first time within our islamic history that we don't have a true islamic political leader. We don't have a proper nation that is running under the islamic shariah' (law.) Our muslim brothers and sisters are being attacked from all sides.
Tayyaba: But how is that good news?
_____ : Does this remind you of anything?
PiNk_n_PoSh: erm.. nope.
Al-Mu'minah: Oh yeah! The sahabah/companions (may Allaah Almighty be pleased with them) of the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) while in Makkah, never really had a place to make hijrah to.
Only after the Prophet (peace be upon him) got the command from Allaah Almighty - that's when they had the chance to leave.
Halima: Yeah.. they only had the chance to make hijrah to Medinah - 13yrs after the first revelation.
_____ : Na'am (yes) - 20yrs ago, Iraq was the most secular of countries from among the muslim nations, Afghanistan was the most ignorant of islam and it was communist.
The people in Ash-Sham (Syria, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon) were proud of their nationalism instead of Islam.
Have you not seen how all of that has changed suddenly within the past 20yrs?
Now Iraq is fighting back against the enemy. Afghanistan has fought against the communists and now against the oppressors who were their allies in the fight against communism.
The people of Ash-Sham - some are preparing, and some are already fighting back.
Their realising that they can only fight under the flag of 'Laa illaaha illAllaah Muhammadur RasoolAllaah!' (there is none worthy of worship/worthy of being obeyed except Allaah, and Muhammad (peace be upon him is the Messenger of Allaah Almighty.)
They are realising that nationalism won't get them anywhere, except it will make them weaker.
Only when they fight under the flag of islam - only then will they be successful.
Muslimah_Sis: Yeah.. has anyone noticed that those who stand up for islam are being thrown into prison?
The kings and muslimleaders are being tested by Allaah, and some have failed that test. Now it's the scholars turn - will they obey Allaah and His Messenger, or will they fall into the same trap as the kings?
Mawaddah: People will be tested according to their level of imaan/faith - the Prophets have the most severe tests, after them are the scholars - then it keeps going down according to the level of a persons faith. But Allaah azawajal never burdens a soul with more than it can bear.
If the person remains patient, and keeps his/her duty to Allaah - then they may get a higher level or rank in jannah/paradise.
If you don't understand what i mean - this may make it easier to understand insha'Allaahu ta'aala:
From the bottom, of the diagram - you can see that a person's level of emaan (faith) equals out to the form of test the person may have. Therefore, if a person has low emaan, then their test may not be that difficult compared to a person who has more emaan etc.
This is why the prophets had the most emaan (faith) and this is why the difficulty of their tests are of a level higher compared to a person with weaker faith.
However, due to their emaan (faith in Allaah) - it doesn't seem too difficult for them, but a person with that lower faith would not be able to bare it.
The people who have more emaan (faith) will be raised in status in paradise, as long as they have tawaqul (keep their trust) in Allaah Almighty. They should also stay patient, and pray - because dua' (supplication) is one of the best weapons of the believer.
You may notice that our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is right at the top of jannah/paradise - he (peace be upon him) has the highest rank in paradise because he had the most emaan, hence he had the most hardest of trials, and he (peace be upon him) kept his faith in Allaah. Therefore, he (peace be upon him) will be in the highest rank of paradise insha'Allaahu ta'aala.
The same can be said about the prophets, then the sahabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) - then the scholars etc. Each according to their level of faith in Allaah azawajal.
.. and Allaah Almighty knows best.
This is why the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) said:
There will come a time when holding on to your Iman (belief) would be like holding on to hot coal".
Umm_Shaheed: Has anyone noticed - that the hadith about Allaah humiliating the believers, unless they return to fighting fi sabilillah (in the way of Allaah Almighty) has been shown infront of our own eyes.. But now that the muslims are returning to it again, - it might be a sign that victory is close again insha'Allaah!
Tayyaba: True.. true. But there's still alot we have to do.
Ladee_Maryam: Yeah.. Victory comes with patience and striving in Allaah's cause.
Just look at the lives of the Prophets and their Companions, their a perfect example for us to follow.
_____ : Just look at the world around you, and you'll realise that this is Allaah's sunnah (way.) Allaah loves the believers soo much that He expiates their sins within this life by giving them trials. These trials are a way of removing the sins of people.
PiXie: But why doesn't Allaah just let them off?
_____ : Allaah is the Most Just, so He tries the muslims, sometimes through wealth, health etc. And sometimes through the disbelievers. This way - it will be a proof on the day of judgement for the expiation of their sins, and the disbelievers won't be able to say that Allaah is being unbiased or unjust etc.
On the other hand - Allaah may hate a disbeliever (who may be arrogant and stingy etc.) so Allaah may give him soo much wealth and power, that he might abuse it. This is his cause of going deeper into the hellfire.
A good example of this is Pharoah, at the time of Musa (Moses - peace be upon him.)
PiNk_n_PoSh: masha'Allaah, i neva thought of it that way before.. :sister: By the way, who are you sister?
_____ : I'm imam anwar al-awlaki's sister. :giggling: i got my points from his lecture called:
PiXie: jazak Allaah (may Allaah reward u) sis
_____ : true.. we should all realise that we need to follow islam whole heartedly. Otherwise we got no protector. Why should Allaah protect us - if we don't even obey Him?
Islam means submission and we're muslims (the ones who submit.) So we should be proud of it. Forget all this nationalism or racism. We're one ummah (nation) and this is what the enemies and shayateen (devils) hate.
This is what Allaah Almighty loves, and if Allaah loves you - then Allaah will bring victory to this ummah insha'Allaah ta'aala!!
Umm_Shaheed: Takbeer!
*All the sisters*: Allaahu akbar!!
*Meanwhile in the brothers room*
Far7an: Are sisters even allowed to do that? :coolbro:
zÂk: hmmmm......... I wonder what they're talking about? :anger:
