I seek refuge in Allah (The One God) from the Satan (devil) the cursed, the rejected
With the name of ALLAH (swt) -The Bestower Of Unlimited Mercy, The Continously Merciful
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh (May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you)

sadly , some evil people will never listen . So , eternal hell fire is waiting for them . If everybody becomes Muslims , then hell will be empty .....it will be injustice to hell..... right ?
So , let's pray that Insha Allah , Devil won't be able to drive us & our near dear ones in the hell fire ....Ameen.

Dawah to Atheists [people who don't believe in God]
The Majority of mankind has always believed in a God, whether it's nowadays or ages ago. Therefore the claim that God is part of imagination can be proved wrong with that [i.e. the majority of mankind always believing in a Creator.] Atheists have always been a minority.
Whenever you talk to an atheist, by fitrah [the natural way that Allaah has created us] we know that God exists - ask them why they don't personally believe in God. Because in reality, it's common sense and the way Allaah created us that we do know that Allaah is watching over us etc. Their claim that we are blindly following can be refuted by saying the majority of mankind has always believed in a God. So they're the ones who are wrong.
So ask them why they don't personally believe in God. This will help to focus on specific points related to them inshaa Allaah.
However, not all atheists believe in the big bang theory.
Some arguments you can put forward to Atheists:
For Every Design - there needs to be a Designer.
Some atheists might say that everything fitted perfectly by chance.
Logically you would say that if something is done by chance, not every single aspect of it is perfect. So if you flicked some paint on a wall - it wouldn't create a piece of art perfectly, even though there may be some good effects to it. But every single aspect of it wouldn't be exactly perfect, whereas anywhere you go on earth - there is perfection and the things which may seem bad are in reality for a better purpose for the people.
This leads to the issue of good and evil, people might ask: how can there be a God if there is evil in the world? You simply say that there might be something good from that evil, but we don't know the good behind it as we don't know the future, yet Allaah does.
A small example of that can be that getting poked by a needle may not look good, feel good etc. but the doctor does it for a greater purpose [because they have more knowledge] - to give us an injection to cure a problem that might have come to us in the future [that might have been worse.]
I'll continue this after a little while inshaa Allaah.

Steps for Effective Da'Wah
I. Ways of Relating to People
A. Be attentive and show concern. When shaking hands.
The Prophet (pbuh) never released his hand first,
and never turned his face away from others until they did.
1. Be consistently considerate 4. Share in others' interests.
2. Inquire about the absent 5. Exchange gifts
3. Visit the sick 6. Listen to and look at the
speaker
B. Address people by the names they like
One day the prophet asked a man about his name, and he replied
that it was Abdulhajjar (slave of stone). The prophet said
"No, you're Abdullah" (the slave of Allah)
II. Requirements for Effective Da'wah
A. Don't blame the people for their mistakes or be critical.
1. Many people are hypersenstive to criticism.
2. Some people become defensive when blamed. When Musa went
to Pharoah, Allah said, "but speak to him mildly...... ..
perchance he may take warning or fear (Allah)".
B. Don't embarrass by correcting someone in front of others.
The Prophet (pbuh) used to use plurality when correcting a
particular person in front of a group. For example, he would
ask the group, "what do you think about those who do
such-and-such a bad thing?".
C. Satisfy the people's halal needs.
1. Help those in need
2. Don't wait to assist the needy until they ask you
3. The prophet (pbuh) always helped the needy
4. The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Whosoever removes a worldly grief
from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs
of the Day of Judgement. whoever alleviates [the lot of] a
needy person, Allah will alleviate [his lot] in this world
and the next.
D. Always be fair, just, and honest
E. Give others sincere respect and heighten their self-esteem.
1. Remember, if the respect you show others is not genuine
you will be showing hypocrisy, rather than respect.
2. One day a mushrik came to the prophet (pbuh) who was sitting
with Abu Bakr on his right. The Prophet had Abu Bakr move to
left,and had the mushrik sit on his right,a position of honor.
3. Two brothers came to speak to the Prophet (pbuh) when the
younger of them spoke first, the Prophet interrupted him and
asked the older to start.
F. Don't be angry or retaliate for injury to yourself, but be angry
or retaliate only for wrongdoing in the view of Allah.
III. Techniques for Growing Closer to Others
A. Attempt to understand deeply those you deal with
1. Find out their background (cultural, educational, social, etc)
because that helps in finding access to their minds and hearts.
2. Attempt to know everyone equally well. Favoritism creates
mistrust and hurt feelings.
B. Be simple, moderate, and respectful
C. Do not insulate yourself from the bad people. They need you more
than the others.
D. Be tactful
1. Avoid personal questions and embarassing comments
2. Address the person according to his level of understanding
E. Be cheerful and enthuisiastic
Al-Harith, a companion said, I have never seen anyone who smiled
most of the time as the Prophet (pbuh) did.
F. Present a pleasant appearance
1. Be clean and neat
2. Observe decency in dress
3. Wear clothing that is harmonious to the total outfit
4. The prophet (pbuh) saw someone with uncombed hair and asked,
"Didn't you find something with which to comb it?"
5. Never eat raw onion or garlic when going to the masjid or to
meet with people.
IV. Obstacles to Da'wah
A. Don't be afraid of temptation.
Some peole fear contact with non-Muslims for fear of
succumbing to their bad influence. the remedy for this is
to strengthen one's faith.
B. Don't be shy.
1. Some people lack the courage to mix with others and socialize.
2. The remedy for this is practice.
C. Fear of one's inability to express oneself and lack of
confidence in one's capabilities for logical analysis and
persuation. The remedy for this is practice.
V. The field for Da'wah: school, neighborhood, workplace and family.

Dawah to Atheists[people who don't believe in God]
This is a really good refutation alhamdulillah using logic that God cannot be created.
Many times people say that such a magnificent creation needs to be created by God, then atheists might attack and ask: then who created God?
Insha Allaah this will answer that using logic.
Creation <-- God
^ That's how the believers see, it.
Let's use the logic of the atheists and see what would happen if 'the Creator was created.'
The same can be said about atheists who believe that this universe was never created and its been here forever, because if it's been here for an infinite amount of time - then we would never be here since scientists say we have only existed for a certain million amount of years, if thats the case - then how about the infinity time before that? Why weren't we here at that time?
Infinite time means there was no starting point for the universe, and if that is the case - then there should be no starting point for us either. Which contradicts science.
All the praise is for Allaah who gave us understanding.

Creation <-- God <-- Creator [but he needs a creatoralso] <-- Creator [Again, but he needs a creator] <-- Creator <---- Creator <-------------- - infinity -
(the arrow [<--] means 'created by')
From there we can see that if God needed a Creator, then He couldn't have been created since it would take infinite amount of time for Him to be created, which would mean we couldn't be created since it would take forever for our Creator [God] to be created. Which proves that God cannot be created.(the arrow [<--] means 'created by')

If someone ever asks you why a person should go to hellfire if they've disbelieved in this life for only maybe about 70years, then alhamdulillah we have an answer to that:
If someone called a person to Islaam, and the person rejected the message when it was clear and apparent to them - then they would probably continue in their disbelief, and if given an immortal life - they would persist in their disbelief. So being punished in the hellfire forever wouldn't be unjust. Since that person if given a life of eternity would remain in the state of disbelief [forever] anyway.
How do you know i would remain in disbelief forever? the person might ask.
Well why don't you accept Islaam now if the message is so clear?
Anyone who is sincere, Allaah will guide them to the truth.

Anyone who is sincere, Allaah will guide them to the truth.
Allaah says:
“O My slaves, all of you are astray except those whom I guide, so ask Me for guidance, and I will guide you. O My slaves, all of you are hungry except those whom I feed, so ask me for food and I will feed you. O My slaves, all of you are naked except those whom I clothe, so ask Me for clothing and I will clothe you. … O My slaves, if the first of you and the last of you, your humans and your jinn, were to stand on a single plain and ask of Me and I were to give each one what he asked for, that would not cause any loss to Me greater than what is lost when a needle is dipped into the sea.”
Narrated by Muslim (#2577).
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: Allah the Almighty said:
I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assemble better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.
(1) Another possible rendering of the Arabic is: "I am as My servant expects Me to be". The meaning is that forgiveness and acceptance of repentance by the Almighty is subject to His servant truly believing that He is forgiving and merciful. However, not to accompany such belief with right action would be to mock the Almighty.
It was related by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah).
However if someone isn't sincere, then that shows that they don't want to fulfill the true purpose that they are created for. You have to warn these people of the hellfire [give them description of the fire] and give them glad tidings that if they submit [Islaam means submission to Allaah] they will be rewarded with a great reward of Jannah [Paradise - then give description of Jannah from Qur'an and Sunnah], since that is the real life which is forever - and this life is only temporary. “O My slaves, all of you are astray except those whom I guide, so ask Me for guidance, and I will guide you. O My slaves, all of you are hungry except those whom I feed, so ask me for food and I will feed you. O My slaves, all of you are naked except those whom I clothe, so ask Me for clothing and I will clothe you. … O My slaves, if the first of you and the last of you, your humans and your jinn, were to stand on a single plain and ask of Me and I were to give each one what he asked for, that would not cause any loss to Me greater than what is lost when a needle is dipped into the sea.”

Al Haawee Min Fataawa Ash Shaykh Al Albaanee: P.494
In the Name of Allaah, All Compassionate, All Merciful
How to Debate with non-Muslims - 1
Ash Shaykh Al ‘Allaamah Al Muhadith Naasir Al Albaanee
Question: A Muslim asks how to respond to a non-Muslim who says that Allaah is unjust because He punishes people who died more than 500 years ago.
Answer: It is not permissible for you to debate with this non-Muslim because firstly, those who debate non-Muslims must have knowledge of the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah. Secondly they must be intelligent, understanding and be acquainted with the methods of debating with non-Muslims.
You do not start by responding to this person's misconception, you start with the issue of whether he believes if Allaah created this world or not, then you keep progressing downwards until you reach this particular issue of disbelief, and then it can be thwarted. But how cay you skip all these stages, and try to save him from misguidance with this particular issue?! He is a disbeliever in the foundation, a disbeliever in Allaah the majestic, and you're trying to convince him that Allaah, who is non existent according to him, is just?
Questioner: Subhan-Allaah!
Shaykh: This is impossible. Therefore we advice you not to occupy your time with this?
Questioner: Shaykh, I do not occupy my time with this, but he is one of those people who come and sow misconceptions, so I responded to him by citing one of the first verses of the Quraan: {Those who believe in the unseen.} That was my response to him Shaykh.
Shaykh: This response is of no benefit, because he is not a believer in the Book! Nor is he a believer in the Lord of the Book! What is the benefit of debating with him [in this issue].
Questioner: There is no benefit.
Shaykh: A similar thing happened to me while I was in Damascus, someone asked me; 'How did Muhammad ascend to the heavens when it is scientifically proven that whoever travels beyond the atmosphere dies?'
Questioner: Allaahu Akbar!
Shaykh: The first thing I asked him was; 'Do you believe in Allaah?'
He said: 'Yes I do.'
'Ok, do you believe in the Messenger of Allaah?'
He said: 'Yes I do.'
'Good, do you believe in miracles?'
He said: 'No.'
I said: 'Do you believe in medicine?'
He said: 'Yes.'
'Doctors says that some humans have two hearts. One on the right and the other on the left. Do you know anything about medicine?'
He said: 'No, nothing.'
'If doctors publish this information that you don’t know anything about, would you believe in it?'
He said: 'Yes I would.'
'Even though doctors may be mistaken, deceptive and so on. We know that the person who informed us of the ascendance is the most truthful of people, the Messenger of Allaah, since it is Allaah that revealed to him:
{Glorified (and Exalted) is He (Allaah) Who took His slave on a journey by night from Al-Masjid Al-Haraam to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsaa…}
'Do you doubt this?'
I then showed him a magazine…debate goes on…
The whole point in narrating this story to you is to show you how to debate progressively with non-Muslims. Did you understand?
Questioner: Yes I understood, may Allaah reward you well.
Shaykh: May Allaah safeguard you, do you have another question?
Questioner: No.
To be continued…

Questioner: There is no benefit.
Shaykh: A similar thing happened to me while I was in Damascus, someone asked me; 'How did Muhammad ascend to the heavens when it is scientifically proven that whoever travels beyond the atmosphere dies?'
Questioner: Allaahu Akbar!
Shaykh: The first thing I asked him was; 'Do you believe in Allaah?'
He said: 'Yes I do.'
'Ok, do you believe in the Messenger of Allaah?'
He said: 'Yes I do.'
'Good, do you believe in miracles?'
He said: 'No.'
I said: 'Do you believe in medicine?'
He said: 'Yes.'
'Doctors says that some humans have two hearts. One on the right and the other on the left. Do you know anything about medicine?'
He said: 'No, nothing.'
'If doctors publish this information that you don’t know anything about, would you believe in it?'
He said: 'Yes I would.'
'Even though doctors may be mistaken, deceptive and so on. We know that the person who informed us of the ascendance is the most truthful of people, the Messenger of Allaah, since it is Allaah that revealed to him:
{Glorified (and Exalted) is He (Allaah) Who took His slave on a journey by night from Al-Masjid Al-Haraam to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsaa…}
'Do you doubt this?'
I then showed him a magazine…debate goes on…
The whole point in narrating this story to you is to show you how to debate progressively with non-Muslims. Did you understand?
Questioner: Yes I understood, may Allaah reward you well.
Shaykh: May Allaah safeguard you, do you have another question?
Questioner: No.
To be continued…

Evolution theory?
I was reading a thread once, about how some evolutionists believe the first cell came into existence.
Because we know that they believe the big bang occured, then the whole bang caused planets to come into existence, then within the planet earth there was a gradual change in temperature. Then they believe that a living cell came into existence, then they believe that many cells were created and turned into animals, which then evolved into other animals, and some turned into fish, and later evolved into other beings which then might have turned into humans.
They say it all happened 'by chance.'
This was an explanation given by a sister on the forum:
So this shows the weakness of the evolution theory and how even the theory is so weak.
The reason why i'm mentioning this is because we usually think that the evolution theory is so advanced, so we don't even bother going into it. And we might sometimes wonder how to refute these people, so i just wanted to post this to show how weak there theory really is.
Allaah says in the Qur'an:
Anyway here's a good link which has some short vids on how a cell is so advanced, and it couldn't have been created 'by chance' - but instead by a a Creator, who has Power over all things, and He is the Most Wise, All Knowing, the Originator of all things.

Allaah says in the Qur'an:
Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?
Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no firm belief.
[Qur'an Al-Tur 52: 35-6]
It's true, they have no firm belief. Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no firm belief.

that reminds me so much of Nuh AS, imagine how he must have felt knowing none of them are ever going to be guided.
But lets take a lesson from Nuh AS, even AFTER Allah told him that no-one will be guided, even AFTER he made the ark, even then he still asked his son to join him.
subhanAllah...

salamunalikum...
actually on the contrary the theory of evolution is quite advanced scientifically....not that i support it in the least...
when i was in one of my biochemistry lectures in uni, my lecturer was just trying to explain how the theory of evolution is supported thru biochemistry...
it goes like this (btw this if from memory i dunno the details cos i never listen nwy..but try google it)
aparantly this scientist wanted to make organic molecules out of inorganic molecules..which was never achieved before...so he constructed this wierd apparatus and basically introduced inorganic molecules i.e. Nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen...and then electricity was applied...similar to lightening...etc. and at the end of it he condensed the material and found in the water, which was previously sterile, he discovered many organic molecules i.e. guanine adenine thymine..these are the basic building blocks of proetiens....which are the building blocks of dna etc. so from these they say how evolution is supported..and they cum up with rly scientifically strong theorys...
nwy she said some other stuff...but my point is the theory of evolution is quite scientifically advanced and backed up ...so yeah we know we didnt evolve but when we are presented with evidence like this we just say it happened by the WILL of Allah(swt).
nwy i just wanted to point out that its better to have sound scientific knowledge in this area or the evolutionist will make u look like a fool....
(btw i hope no one takes offence...just wanted to explain sum stuff...)
