GLORIOUS MONTH COMING TO AN END

Its a pity this month of bonanza is going and I bet u, many have not taken even the minimum benefit of it.

It is worthy to note that Romodhon has come to serve as a lubricant to our faith and refresh our spiritual relationship with Allah The Most High...and some still remain, at best, how dey were before romodhon, and at worst, worst than ever before.

The prophet of  Allah (PBUH), in an authentic ahdith, has cursed those who have witnessed this month of bliss and still gain no forgiveness of Allah in it.

It is sad to hear how people claimed to love islam and still find christian ways of life more appealing to them, when Allah clearly states in d Quran "enter into the religion of islam wholeheartedly...".

It hurts to see an acclaimed muslim  loves to do only what pleases him/her heart in Allah's commandments and finds thousands of excuses for abandoning the rest, when Allah says "would you believe part (of our commandments) and disbelieve part? Honourable ulamah, its important we sit and ponder, reconcile our accounts with that of Allah and make necessary corrections for the prophet(PBUH) said "every son of Adam errs and d best or those that err is one who turns back to Allah in repentance...".

 The little remaining is enough to pilot our ways to jannah.

Please, let's open our hearts for Allah to penetrate and let's be a proud ambassador of Allah on earth and a distinct representative of this beautiful religion of islam during and after romodhon.

This may be mine or your last on earth. May Allah accept all our deeds as an act of 'ibadah.

EXANSION OF THE UNIVERSE

In 1929, American Astronomer, Edwin Hubble proposed a concept about the Size of the Universe. He said, "_ The Universe is Expanding_"...
This was considered as one of the greatest concept of 20th Century....

But,

Al Quran says,
"*وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُون*َ "
"_And the heaven we constructed with strength_, and indeed, We are (its) Expander...
   -Al Quran (51:47)

1400 years beforeHubble proposed the Concept "Expanding of the Universe" , Alquran said about that. This is clearly says, Alquran is from Allmighty God, Allah (Subhanahu wata'la)...

"_and we have revealed the Best to you explaining clearly Everything_ ....."
     - Alquran (16:89)

WAR AND ANARCHY THE SIGNS OF THE LAST DAY

In the social media, surprising things people's like to judge or write whatever they want to blame and point out others sin meanwhile they just "Rocking Their Feet"!

There are a number of verses of the Qur'an relevant to this subject. In [Surat ar-Rum,] Allah reveals that confusion has come upon the earth because of what human beings have wrought:

Corruption has appeared in both land and sea because of what people's own hands have brought about so that they may taste something of what they have done so that hopefully they will turn back.
(Surat ar-Rum: 41)

In the Qur'an, Allah reveals that human beings have brought evil upon themselves. The problems in the world today are proofs of this.

We must add that this verse is to remind us of a very important truth. The pain and misery that arises from the mistakes human beings make are a kind of opportunity to assist them in turning away from these errors.

In a hadith, the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasalam) described the End Times in this way:

Allah's Messenger (salallahu alayhi wasalam) said: "The Harj (will increase)." They asked, "What is the Harj?" He replied, "(It is) killing (murdering), (it is) murdering (killing)."
[Bukhari]

The Hour (Last Day) will not be established until murder will increase. [Bukhari]

When we examine the End Times in the light of the information related above, we come up with a surprising conclusion.
The meaning of harj mentioned in the above hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (salallahu alayhi wasalam) is "utter confusion" and "disorder" which is not to be limited to one particular area, but will be widespread throughout the world.

The signs that the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasalam) described in detail are occurring one after the other in every corner of the world, just in the way they were described in the age in which we live. It is so that the hadiths paint a perfect portrait of our time. This is indeed a miracle, and demands careful consideration. Every sign that occurs is to remind people once again that the Last Day is very near, a day when they will give account of themselves in the Presence of Allah, and therefore, that they should immediately apply the moral values of the Qur'an to their lives.

Again, on this topic, the following words of the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasalam) have come down to us:

The Hour will come when violence, bloodshed, and anarchy become common
[Al-Muttaqi Al-Hindi, Muntakhab Kanzul Ummaal]

The world will not come to an end until a day would come to the people on which there will be general massacre and bloodshed
[Muslim]

We are led to an important conclusion. The Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasalam) described conflicts, disorder, murder, war to involve the whole earth, and outbreaks of terror, and revealed that these events are signs of the Last Day.

The fact that the signs related in the hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wasalam) are coming true, and the fact that our world is full of scenes like these is a warning for humanity to return to the moral teaching of the Qur'an.

Within the world's recent history, acts of terror have, time and again, fomented disorder. Much blood has been shed and countless innocent people have been maimed or killed. But still humanity has not learned its lesson from these events condemned by all Muslims.

It can be understood from the hadiths that the increase in the amount of evil people, the fact those people regarded as trustworthy are liars, and the fact that some who are regarded as liars are actually trustworthy, are characteristics of the End Times.

There will be years of deceit, in which a truthful person will be disbelieved and a liar will be believed
[Ibn Kathir]

A hadith reveals that people will curse and swear at each other:

In the Last Days, there will be such people, who, when they meet, curse and abuse each other instead of greeting (with salaam).
(Allama Jalaluddin Suyuti, Durre-Mansoor)

In short, Please Brother and Sister, we are now living in that age of confusion and disorder also times of fitna in which yet another sign of the End Times is manifested. This sign is a stern warning that people should begin immediately to live their lives according to the moral teachings of the Qur'an. Ask ourselves! Whereas we only know how to blame and finger pointing to others!

WAS ISLAM SPREAD BY THE SWORD?

Question:
How can Islam be called the religion of peace when it was spread by the sword?

Answer:
It is a common complaint among some non-Muslims that Islam would not have millions of adherents all over the world, if it had not been spread by the use of force. The following points will make it clear, that far from being spread by the sword, it was the inherent force of truth, reason and logic that was responsible
for the rapid spread of Islam.

1. Islam means peace.
Islam comes from the root word ‘salaam’, which means peace. It also means submitting one’s will to Allah (swt). Thus Islam is a religion of peace, which is acquired by submitting one’s will to the will of the Supreme Creator, Allah (swt).

2. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace.
Each and every human being in this world is not in favour of maintaining peace and harmony. There are many, who would disrupt it for their own vested interests. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace. It is precisely for this reason that we have the police who use force against criminals and antisocial elements to maintain peace in the country. Islam promotes peace. At the
same time, Islam exhorts it followers to fight where there is oppression. The fight against oppression may, at times, require the use of force. In Islam force can only be used to promote peace and justice.

3. Opinion of historian De Lacy O’Leary.
The best reply to the misconception that Islam was spread by the sword is given by the noted historian De Lacy O’Leary in the book “Islam at the cross road” (Page 8):
“History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever repeated.”

4. Muslims ruled Spain for 800 years.
Muslims ruled Spain for about 800 years. The Muslims in Spain never used the sword to force the people to convert. Later the Christian Crusaders came to Spain and wiped out the Muslims. There was not a single Muslim in Spain who could openly give the adhan, that is the call for prayers.

5. 14 million Arabs are Coptic Christians.
Muslims were the lords of Arabia for 1400 years. For a few years the British ruled, and for a few years the French ruled. Overall, the Muslims ruled Arabia for 1400 years. Yet today, there are 14 million Arabs who are Coptic Christians i.e. Christians since generations. If the Muslims had used the sword there would not have been a single Arab who would have remained a Christian.

6. More than 80% non-Muslims in India.
The Muslims ruled India for about a thousand years. If they wanted, they had the power of converting each and every non-Muslim of India to Islam. Today more than 80% of the population of India are non-Muslims. All these non-Muslim Indians are bearing witness today that Islam was not spread by the sword.

7. Indonesia and Malaysia.
Indonesia is a country that has the maximum number of Muslims in the world. The majority of people in Malaysia are Muslims. May one ask, “Which Muslim army went to Indonesia and Malaysia?”

8. East Coast of Africa.
Similarly, Islam has spread rapidly on the East Coast of Africa. One may again ask, if Islam was spread by the sword, “Which Muslim army went to the East Coast of Africa?”

9. Thomas Carlyle.
The famous historian, Thomas Carlyle, in his book “Heroes and Hero worship”, refers to this misconception about the spread of Islam: “The sword indeed, but where will you get your sword? Every new opinion, at its starting is precisely in a minority of one. In one man’s head alone. There it dwells as yet. One man alone of the whole world believes it, there is one man against all men. That he
takes a sword and try to propagate with that, will do little for him. You must get your sword! On the whole, a thing will propagate itself as it can.”

10. No compulsion in religion.
With which sword was Islam spread? Even if Muslims had it they could not use it to spread Islam because the Qur’an says in the following verse: “Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from

11. Sword of the Intellect.
It is the sword of intellect. The sword that conquers the hearts and minds of people. The Qur’an says in Surah Nahl, chapter 16 verse 125:
“Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious.”  [Al-Qur’an 16:125]

12. Increase in the world religions from 1934 to 1984.
An article in Reader’s Digest ‘Almanac’, year book 1986, gave the statistics of the increase of percentage of the major religions of the world in half a century from 1934 to 1984. This article also appeared in ‘The Plain Truth’ magazine. At the top was Islam, which increased by 235%, and Christianity had increased only by 47%. May one ask, which war took place in this century which converted
millions of people to Islam?

13. Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and Europe.
Today the fastest growing religion in America is Islam. The fastest growing religion in Europe in Islam. Which sword is forcing people in the West to accept Islam in such large numbers?

14. Dr. Joseph Adam Pearson.
Dr. Joseph Adam Pearson rightly says, “People who worry that nuclear
weaponry will one day fall in the hands of the Arabs, fail to realize that the Islamic bomb has been dropped already, it fell the day MUHAMMED (Peace Be Upon Him) was born”.

Welcome to Humanity & Nature: Muslim Scientists and Thinkers(700-1400.)

Muslim Scientists and Thinkers(700-1400.)

When Qur’an speaks so much about Science - how come the Muslims are backward?. I would mainly blame the media. The media today is in the hands of the Westerners, the Europeans - It is in their hand, They have the Satellite, they have the Television, they have the CNN, they have the BBC- It is in their hand. The media is in their hands - and whatever you read in your school books, and books which we read in college - you will read there that ‘from 8th to the 12th century it was the Dark Ages’. Dark for whom? It was dark for the Europeans - not for the world. The Arabs and the Muslims were very much advanced from 8th to the 12th century -they were very much advanced. The Europeans were backward because… they said ‘dark for the world.’ It was not dark for the world. It was dark for the Europeans. With the limited instruments and technology what we had from 8th to 12th century what discoveries the Muslim Scientists made it is unbelievable. Today, because Science is Advanced we are making so many discoveries. There with the amount of limited facilities we had, the amount of discoveries Muslim Scientists made - it’s unbelievable.

Now we Muslims are backwards in every field , we are at the receiving end . Why ? Because we gone away from the Qur’an and Sunnah . We were on top because we were close to the Qur’an and hadith . We will be top again if we go back to the Qur’an and Hadith and follow the Islam strictly . We will be top of the world InshAllah .
