I remember, my dream afew weeks ago, before the end of Ramadan, when I was in a very special place, walking through a beautiful building with alcoves, serene and pristine, wherein were beautiful and pure people, almost beings, and as I looked for a place to pray, I walked past a water fountain, running clear, and plants of green ferns, I was suddenly outside, as I followed a voice repeating verses of prayers from Al Qur'an, and I looked up to see a minaret, and hear the azan, call to prayer, Allah Hu Akhbar! Allah Hu Akhbar, and the minaret shone as if a full moon was blazened behind it and the arabic letters Mim Ha Mim Daal (MHMD=Muhammad) appeared in light. Subhanallah, when I see these photos I took on 10th Shawal, I remember this dream, and the correlating Quranic verse is :

10:10
(This will be) their cry therein: "Glory to Thee, O Allah!" And "Peace" will be their greeting therein! and the close of their cry will be: "Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!"

10_10

DaAAwahum feeha subhanakaallahumma watahiyyatuhum feeha salamunwaakhiru daAAwahum ani alhamdu lillahirabbi alAAalameena

 

Allah knows best.

10:20
They say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "The Unseen is only for Allah (to know), then wait ye: I too will wait with you."

The insults muslims face.

 IMG_0605
I am a devoted believer of ONE God, who has no son, no daughter, no aunts or uncles, mother of father! I was raised a Catholic, went to Catechism school, was baptised and had confirmation, went through all the church rituals and finally, needed more to have a direct relationship with God, the ONE creator of all. Allah hu laa ilaa ha ila anta, Allah there is no other god but You. And Muhammad is Your prophet.I am a muslim.
I came across this Christian site, and was taken aback. I respect all people’s choice to choose their own belief system, given they get the proper information, they can choose what suits them using their own intelligence and intellect. Suffice to give information. What annoys me about this site is it’s sly way of insinuating Islam and muslims pray to a god,different to theirs. They believe that a human born from a miracle, is a god. Or son of god. We say, Jesus ,peace and blessings on him, is a prophet. I dislike people who do things with ill intentions. How can they say pray for the muslims… and go on to insult us by saying “May God get their attention.”! Insulting and totally insincere.
“Pray for Muslims in your country who will be attending large religious gatherings. May God get their attention. Pray for revelations of the crucified, resurrected and now living Jesus during the three day feast. “
http://www.30-days.net/muslims/muslims-in/asia-south-central/eid-ud-fitr-crowds/
“Prayer Ideas
  • Pray for Muslim families in your town, your region and your country that they might meet true believers who could share with them the bread of life during the feast (See Psalm 34:8,John 6:55-58).
  • Pray for Muslims in your country who will be attending large religious gatherings. May God get their attention. Pray for revelations of the crucified, resurrected and now living Jesus during the three day feast.
  • The Shah (King) Faisal Mosque in Islamabad Pakistan has a capacity of 75,000 people in the building and the surrounding courtyards. Up to an additional 200,000 other people can pray on the grounds outside. Pray they can hear the voice of the Living God today.
The Jewish religion is called Judaism, the Christians follow Christ,the Buddhists follow Buddha, the Indians have Krishna and are called Hindus (The word Hindu was borrowed into European languages from the Arabic term al-Hind, referring to the land of the people who live across the River Indus) the muslims have Islam and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Prophet. We are not named after the holy Prophet(peace and blessings be upon him).
Surah 5;3 This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.
Al Qur’an, the refinement and perfection of all the big books from the One God, is spoken through Prophet Muhammad(peace and blessings be upon him) and in it we are told Islam is the name of the religion,the deen,the direction, to submission to God. It has been perfected by the last Word,from the One God.

Surah Al Baqarah:285

Surah Al Baqarah;286

READ THE ABOVE VERSES CAREFULLY! Digest it in your brain, use intelligence and then answer to yourself. How can anyone refute Islam,and if they choose to ignore, they harm themselves. Islam is simple and a guidance to lead a life that will take us back to where we began.
May we all be rightly guided.
Love,Peace & Light

Enlightened spirits in Islam

As a psychic empath, by "psychic" I mean awakened, I can connect most of what the spiritual "new age doctrine" is trying to establish, within confines of what does not go against my personal choice of faith and belief system, I feel that the points being made have great relevance to my Islamic faith. I can correlate what is said without Islamic context and bring it into the spiritual growth realm of Islam. So, if the spiritual awakening means creating a peaceful unification of humanity, then Being in the deen of Islam, will rejuvenate every soul searcher of the Truth, New Earth, based on mutual love, respect,being non-judgmental and communication amongst mankind. Creating Peace; by being better in body,mind and soul; building the spirit and energy within and linking with those likeminded. The Master of this Universe is the Master of all creation, worlds, dimensions and beings. Islam is surrendering to the Will of the Master of the entire creation, where time is of no avail neither is space; the etheric body in unity, synchronised and charged by His Light and this manifestation of awareness, creates a bond of light and love that heals. As with all things, great,gracious and good intentions are portrayed as niyyat, positive thoughts which creates the positive and valueable life ahead. To have a method of cleansing,meditating, time to get in touch with your higher self, guides, increasing intuition, speaking with angels and the masters are all in Islamic teachings but with systematic, commited and consistent devotion which results in a spiritual heightening, awakening, manifestation.So simple in Islam to advance as a spirit in humanform. We have knowledge built into our selves to know many things which the Divine guides us as we journey through this life. The access we have to the Lord of the worlds, enables us to ascend and be in His Presence, the minimum of five times a day: we are always welcomed in our moments of sholat when we "face" our Creator. May we all be blessed, guided and led back to the perfect way of life, in peace and harmony. When a "gifted person" understands that the metaphysical world is real, he/she will exist on this Earth, being aware of humanity and nature, being compassionate to the plight of those around, considerate and respectful of Earth as our dwelling place. As we move on to the next phase of existence,we have to leave the world intact and clean for the next generations.
May Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala reward us, forgive us and bless us all. ~ LorraineNur 23 Ramadan 1433

Rasulallah,peace & blessings of Allah be upon him, the seal of all Prophets!

وَإِن تُكَذِّبُوا فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أُمَمٌ مِّن قَبْلِكُمْ وَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُولِ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ

"And if ye reject (the Message), so did generations before you: and the duty of the messenger is only to preach publicly (and clearly)."
A point of reflection to the verse of Al Qur'an:
Muhammad ibn Abdillah,salallahu alaih wa alihi wa salim(saaw),the last of the Prophets, came to mankind as a mercy from the Almighty, to educate and be a reminder for the last chance, of mankind to come back to Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala(SwT). The seal of the prophets. As other prophets before, Rasulallah saaw serves only to remind the people. He did not get any payment from anyone to say the words of Truth. As Allah SwT knows all, sees all & hears all. It is Prophet Muhammad saaw, who with his total love for humanity, served his purpose, with no pomp or great riches, no fanfare among humankind; he led his life as what Allah SwT taught in Al Qur'an Nuur Kareem, he was steadfast and commited in his mission, presenting the best options of a holistic lifestyle based on love and respect, to uphold the Truth and surrender to the will of Allah SwT, as the gateway to Paradise. As times before, people were reminded, people that rejected the words of the prophets were doomed and we see the proofs of their existence once.The people that accept the word of Allah SwT , is promised success. The ones who argue and deceive, who create doubts,say about Allah SwT what they don't understand or make lies, are the friends of the Evil One, who is actually the avowed enemy of mankind. Deceiving and confusing mankind to go further and further from the Truth, Al Haq, Allah SwT. That being the mission and vision! We have been granted ample knowledge and time to make the right life decisions and choices. Allah SwT does make it clear in Al Qur'an. Mankind that refuse to acknowledge Islam as the perfection of religion: not just the perfect religion: the choice of leading a pious and peaceful life according to the rules of God, will truly be lost, in arguments all the time, in difficulties and strife, confusion and doubt! Them that hold fast to their faiths away from what Allah SwT desires for mankind, will find their efforts futile when they assosciate partners with God.God is One, He is self subsisting, sustains everything, has no child or son, was not created or born, He is Unique! His Essence is purity. The realms of Jabarut, the perfection of all in creation, no flaws, all is from His will to allow mankind to learn, to listen and obey. This, through Prophet Muhammad saaw the beloved of Allah SwT, we learn how to be the perfect servants. Abiding by simple laws and advice, understanding the knowledge and practising it in our lives. We will feel the words of Al Qur'an effecting our lives. We will have joy and hope, through afflictions, trials and tribulations. It is a matter of faith.True belief in the power of God. Laa ilaa ha ilallah. There is no other god but Allah and Muhammad Rasulallah,Muhammad is His Messenger.
Allah humma solli ala sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alih wa salim. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and his household (descendants).

Disturbing facts! Proof of discrediting Rasulallah saaw

An excerpt from a book : The sealed nectar by Syaikh Shafiyyurahman Al-Mubarakfuri . In reading an Indonesian version, much to my amazed dissappointment, I found many hadith quoted different to the original hadith! This perturbed me to keep looking into the English edition which I found also , had these "flaws"!!! Astounded, I checked and re-checked the sources of Sahih Bukhari, which have been quoted in the book, which I must add, discriminates against the characteristics and virtues of our beloved Prophet Muhammad saaw. I find myself asking questions as to why such "mistakes" occur repeatedly in the book, I have no answer! In my opinion, as muslims, who seek truth, we must be careful about what we read, using Al Qur'an as the Nuur to enlightened knowledge, to know our deen, and build a devotion and unsurpassed love for our Holy Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaih wa alihi wa salam, that we will surely be guided to recognise the false and truth. Many divisons in Islam, have made many deviations, that we must acquire real knowledge with a full yearning to understand what Allah SwT , Subhana wa Ta'ala, wants from His humble servants. Rasulallah , sallallahu alaih wa alih wa salam, was the perfection of His creation, no flaws, with the perfect Message of Islam.Any persons, attempting to scald this personality, will surely taste the rebuttals of those whom Allah SwT guides and gives permission to voice opinions. Fellows muslim brothers and sisters in Islam, my reminder is simple, that we must always be watchful and cautious of the true Dajjal in our midst, whose attempts to weaken the ummat is very real, within the confines of our belief system, the lies and fitnah emerges!
Below is a short example, there are numerous within the entire book titled The sealed nectar! More like sealed poison to me! ~Lorraine Nur
MSA NIU
"The number of believers would increase, but the number of Helpers would decrease to the extent that they would be among men as salt in the food. So he who from among you occupies a position of responsibility and is powerful enough to do harm or good to the people, he should fully acknowledge and appreciate the favour that these benefactors have shown and overlook their faults." [Sahih Al- Bukhari 1/536] And said: "Allâh, the Great, has given a slave of His the opportunity to make a choice between whatever he desires of Allâh’s provisions in this world, and what He keeps for him in the world, but he has opted for the latter." Abu Sa‘îd Al- Khudri said: "Upon hearing that, Abu Bakr cried and said: ‘We sacrifice our fathers and mothers for your sake.’ We wondered why Abu Bakr said such a thing. People said: ‘Look at that old man! The Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] says about a slave of Allâh who was granted the right between the best fortunes of this world and the bounty of Allâh in the Hereafter, but he says: We sacrifice our fathers and mothers for your sake!’ It was later on that we realized what he had aimed at. The Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] was the slave informed to choose. We also acknowledged that Abu Bakr was the most learned among us." [Mishkat Al-Masabih 2/546] Then the Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] said: "The fellow I feel most secure in his company is Abu Bakr. If I were to make friendship with any other one than Allâh, I would have Abu Bakr a bosom friend of mine. For him I feel affection and brotherhood of Islam. No gate shall be kept open in the Mosque except that of Abu Bakr’s." [Sahih AlBukhari 1/22, 429, 449, 2/638; Mishkat Al- Masabih 2/548]

Four days before his death
On Thursday, four days before the death of the Messenger of Allâh [pbuh], he said to people — though he was suffering from a severe pain: "Come here. I will cause you to write something so that you will never fall into error." Upon this ‘Umar bin AlKhattab said: "The Prophet of Allâh [pbuh] is suffering from acute pain and you have the Qur’ân with you; the Book of Allâh is sufficient unto you." Others however wanted the writing to be made. When Muhammad [pbuh] heard them debating over it, he ordered them to go away and leave him alone. [Sahih Al-Bukhari 2/637] That day he recommended three things: FALSE

TRUTH
2.637:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Hafsa the wife of the Prophet said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Why have the people finished their Ihram
after performing `Umra but you have not finished your Ihram
after performing `Umra?" He replied, "I have matted my hair
and garlanded my Hadi. So I will not finish my Ihram till I
have slaughtered (my Hadi). "
Last part of the page in the book continues to say:
1. Jews, Christians and polytheists should be expelled out of Arabia. 2. He recommended that delegations should be honoured and entertained, in a
way similar to the one he used to do.

3. As for the third — the narrator said that he had forgotten it. It could have
been adherence to the Holy Book and the Sunnah. It was likely to be the accomplishment and the mobilization of Osamah’s army, or it could have been performance of prayers and being attentive to slaves.

Mother's pride

A mother is always proud of her children's achievements, understanding that every child is different, excels differently and each are individuals. A mother is quick to forgive carelessness and understands as people , everyone makes mistakes and learns from them. I am no exception as a mother of five jewels, who entered my life and have been my source of joy, worries, sadness and pride. My biggest worry is their deen, because I keep thinking who will love them enough to teach them with patience, love and care if I am taken while they're still young. My worries Allah SwT knows best. My hopes for their devotion to Allah SwT, Allah alone knows. And these are written as a mother's prayer and intentions. My children strive their best and I am ever in awe at the excellence in learning quickly. Inshaallah, they will be truly guided as how Allah SwT guides their mother. Sweetness of a child's love is sweeter than nectar as the sweetness of mother's milk. It is irreplaceable.
