Islam means surrender to the will of God.

Assalamu alai kum.
As we read this we are happy in faith, that being said every happiness we experience we would like share it... These wholesome words from Al Qur'an depict the truth of the words given before and now... It never has changed but humankind has... Lest we forget, let us read this with an open heart that we may receive guidance. By His Mercy & Love, by His Gentleness & Power. I have made bold the thoughts to ponder ....

Surah 2, Verse 285:

آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ

The Messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers. "We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His messengers." And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys."

Surah 2, Verse 286:

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا أَنتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

On no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray:) "Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden Like that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith."

AMIIN.



On RIBA / usury and it's consequences

Assalamu alai kum 
Whilst reading Al Qur'an I came across these verses again to remind about the wrong of usury/riba. The financial system created by Zionism has been a part of the Muslims' lives .... We have to change the system to receive barakah from Allah Subhana wa Ta'Ala. 

Surah 2, Verse 275:

الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبَا لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا الْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبَا وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا فَمَن جَاءَهُ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ فَانتَهَىٰ فَلَهُ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

Orang-orang yang makan (mengambil) riba tidak dapat berdiri melainkan seperti berdirinya orang yang kemasukan syaitan lantaran (tekanan) penyakit gila. Keadaan mereka yang demikian itu, adalah disebabkan mereka berkata (berpendapat), sesungguhnya jual beli itu sama dengan riba, padahal Allah telah menghalalkan jual beli dan mengharamkan riba. Orang-orang yang telah sampai kepadanya larangan dari Tuhannya, lalu terus berhenti (dari mengambil riba), maka baginya apa yang telah diambilnya dahulu (sebelum datang larangan); dan urusannya (terserah) kepada Allah. Orang yang kembali (mengambil riba), maka orang itu adalah penghuni-penghuni neraka; mereka kekal di dalamnya.

Those who devour usury will not stand except as stand one whom the Evil one by his touch Hath driven to madness. That is because they say: "Trade is like usury," but Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge); but those who repeat (The offence) are companions of the Fire: They will abide therein (for ever). [2:275]

Surah 2, Verse 276:

يَمْحَقُ اللَّهُ الرِّبَا وَيُرْبِي الصَّدَقَاتِ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ

Allah memusnahkan riba dan menyuburkan sedekah. Dan Allah tidak menyukai setiap orang yang tetap dalam kekafiran, dan selalu berbuat dosa.

Allah will deprive usury of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity: For He loveth not creatures ungrateful and wicked. [2:276]

Surah 2, Verse 277:

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang beriman, mengerjakan amal saleh, mendirikan shalat dan menunaikan zakat, mereka mendapat pahala di sisi Tuhannya. Tidak ada kekhawatiran terhadap mereka dan tidak (pula) mereka bersedih hati.

Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. [2:277]
Surah 2, Verse 278:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَذَرُوا مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الرِّبَا إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Hai orang-orang yang beriman, bertakwalah kepada Allah dan tinggalkan sisa riba (yang belum dipungut) jika kamu orang-orang yang beriman.

O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers. [2:278]
Surah 2, Verse 279:

فَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلُوا فَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَإِن تُبْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ رُءُوسُ أَمْوَالِكُمْ لَا تَظْلِمُونَ وَلَا تُظْلَمُونَ

Maka jika kamu tidak mengerjakan (meninggalkan sisa riba), maka ketahuilah, bahwa Allah dan Rasul-Nya akan memerangimu. Dan jika kamu bertaubat (dari pengambilan riba), maka bagimu pokok hartamu; kamu tidak menganiaya dan tidak (pula) dianiaya.

If ye do it not, Take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger: But if ye turn back, ye shall have your capital sums: Deal not unjustly, and ye shall not be dealt with unjustly. [2:279]

Surah 2, Verse 280:

وَإِن كَانَ ذُو عُسْرَةٍ فَنَظِرَةٌ إِلَىٰ مَيْسَرَةٍ وَأَن تَصَدَّقُوا خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Dan jika (orang yang berhutang itu) dalam kesukaran, maka berilah tangguh sampai dia berkelapangan. Dan menyedekahkan (sebagian atau semua utang) itu, lebih baik bagimu, jika kamu mengetahui.

If the debtor is in a difficulty, grant him time Till it is easy for him to repay. But if ye remit it by way of charity, that is best for you if ye only knew. [2:280]

Surah 2, Verse 281:

وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

Dan peliharalah dirimu dari (azab yang terjadi pada) hari yang pada waktu itu kamu semua dikembalikan kepada Allah. Kemudian masing-masing diri diberi balasan yang sempurna terhadap apa yang telah dikerjakannya, sedang mereka sedikitpun tidak dianiaya (dirugikan).
And fear the Day when ye shall be brought back to Allah. Then shall every soul be paid what it earned, and none shall be dealt with unjustly. [2:281]

THE SOLUTION: 
Surah 2, Verse 282:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا تَدَايَنتُم بِدَيْنٍ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَاكْتُبُوهُ وَلْيَكْتُب بَّيْنَكُمْ كَاتِبٌ بِالْعَدْلِ وَلَا يَأْبَ كَاتِبٌ أَن يَكْتُبَ كَمَا عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ فَلْيَكْتُبْ وَلْيُمْلِلِ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ الْحَقُّ وَلْيَتَّقِ اللَّهَ رَبَّهُ وَلَا يَبْخَسْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَإِن كَانَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ الْحَقُّ سَفِيهًا أَوْ ضَعِيفًا أَوْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَن يُمِلَّ هُوَ فَلْيُمْلِلْ وَلِيُّهُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَاسْتَشْهِدُوا شَهِيدَيْنِ مِن رِّجَالِكُمْ فَإِن لَّمْ يَكُونَا رَجُلَيْنِ فَرَجُلٌ وَامْرَأَتَانِ مِمَّن تَرْضَوْنَ مِنَ الشُّهَدَاءِ أَن تَضِلَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَتُذَكِّرَ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَىٰ وَلَا يَأْبَ الشُّهَدَاءُ إِذَا مَا دُعُوا وَلَا تَسْأَمُوا أَن تَكْتُبُوهُ صَغِيرًا أَوْ كَبِيرًا إِلَىٰ أَجَلِهِ ذَٰلِكُمْ أَقْسَطُ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَأَقْوَمُ لِلشَّهَادَةِ وَأَدْنَىٰ أَلَّا تَرْتَابُوا إِلَّا أَن تَكُونَ تِجَارَةً حَاضِرَةً تُدِيرُونَهَا بَيْنَكُمْ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَلَّا تَكْتُبُوهَا وَأَشْهِدُوا إِذَا تَبَايَعْتُمْ وَلَا يُضَارَّ كَاتِبٌ وَلَا شَهِيدٌ وَإِن تَفْعَلُوا فَإِنَّهُ فُسُوقٌ بِكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

Hai orang-orang yang beriman, apabila kamu bermu'amalah tidak secara tunai untuk waktu yang ditentukan, hendaklah kamu menuliskannya. Dan hendaklah seorang penulis di antara kamu menuliskannya dengan benar. Dan janganlah penulis enggan menuliskannya sebagaimana Allah mengajarkannya, meka hendaklah ia menulis, dan hendaklah orang yang berhutang itu mengimlakkan (apa yang akan ditulis itu), dan hendaklah ia bertakwa kepada Allah Tuhannya, dan janganlah ia mengurangi sedikitpun daripada hutangnya. Jika yang berhutang itu orang yang lemah akalnya atau lemah (keadaannya) atau dia sendiri tidak mampu mengimlakkan, maka hendaklah walinya mengimlakkan dengan jujur. Dan persaksikanlah dengan dua orang saksi dari orang-orang lelaki (di antaramu). Jika tak ada dua oang lelaki, maka (boleh) seorang lelaki dan dua orang perempuan dari saksi-saksi yang kamu ridhai, supaya jika seorang lupa maka yang seorang mengingatkannya. Janganlah saksi-saksi itu enggan (memberi keterangan) apabila mereka dipanggil; dan janganlah kamu jemu menulis hutang itu, baik kecil maupun besar sampai batas waktu membayarnya. Yang demikian itu, lebih adil di sisi Allah dan lebih menguatkan persaksian dan lebih dekat kepada tidak (menimbulkan) keraguanmu. (Tulislah mu'amalahmu itu), kecuali jika mu'amalah itu perdagangan tunai yang kamu jalankan di antara kamu, maka tidak ada dosa bagi kamu, (jika) kamu tidak menulisnya. Dan persaksikanlah apabila kamu berjual beli; dan janganlah penulis dan saksi saling sulit menyulitkan. Jika kamu lakukan (yang demikian), maka sesungguhnya hal itu adalah suatu kefasikan pada dirimu. Dan bertakwalah kepada Allah; Allah mengajarmu; dan Allah Maha Mengetahui segala sesuatu.

O ye who believe! When ye deal with each other, in transactions involving future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing Let a scribe write down faithfully as between the parties: let not the scribe refuse to write: as Allah Has taught him, so let him write. Let him who incurs the liability dictate, but let him fear His Lord Allah, and not diminish aught of what he owes. If they party liable is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable Himself to dictate, Let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. The witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (For evidence). Disdain not to reduce to writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big: it is juster in the sight of Allah, More suitable as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves but if it be a transaction which ye carry out on the spot among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye reduce it not to writing. But take witness whenever ye make a commercial contract; and let neither scribe nor witness suffer harm. If ye do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you. So fear Allah; For it is Good that teaches you. And Allah is well acquainted with all things. If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, let the trustee (faithfully) discharge his trust, and let him Fear his Lord conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it, - his heart is tainted with sin. And Allah knoweth all that ye do. [2:282]

The New World Order & agenda plus solution

http://youtu.be/MuZ7FxF_aW4.   Watch this link to understand the conspiracy theory. Or what is also known as the New World Order.... But simply they are mischief makers. 

From an Islamic perspective, we can mostly always see a pattern behind many events that happen globally. As Allah SWT is The Most Fair, All Knowing and Seeing, All Hearing; there is nothing that happens just by coincidence but all part of an allowed plan of execution , to test human spirit. 
There is a solution for everything in Islam and most explanations for everything except what Allah SWT keeps secret. The secret , His Light and closeness of Allah SWT being the hidden gem as a treasure for all who seek to discover. The way back is only back to the Creator. So, Allah SWT explains what happens to mischief makers. 

Warnings and examples .... For mischief makers on the earth. And solutions and hope for victims......

Surah 2, Verse 27:

الَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهْدَ اللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ مِيثَاقِهِ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ

Those who break Allah's Covenant after it is ratified, and who sunder what Allah Has ordered to be joined, and do mischief on earth: These cause loss (only) to themselves.
Surah 2, Verse 30:

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً قَالُوا أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Behold, thy Lord 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."

Surah 2, Verse 251:

فَهَزَمُوهُم بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَقَتَلَ دَاوُودُ جَالُوتَ وَآتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَهُ مِمَّا يَشَاءُ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّفَسَدَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ

By Allah's will they routed them; and David slew Goliath; and Allah gave him power and wisdom and taught him whatever (else) He willed. And did not Allah Check one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed be full of mischief: But Allah is full of bounty to all the worlds.
Surah 7, Verse 56:

وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Do no mischief on the earth, after it hath been set in order, but call on Him with fear and longing (in your hearts): for the Mercy of Allah is (always) near to those who do good.
Surah 8, Verse 73:

وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوهُ تَكُن فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ كَبِيرٌ

The Unbelievers are protectors, one of another: Unless ye do this, (protect each other), there would be tumult and oppression on earth, and great mischief.
Surah 16, Verse 88:

الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَصَدُّوا عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ زِدْنَاهُمْ عَذَابًا فَوْقَ الْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُوا يُفْسِدُونَ

Those who reject Allah and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah - for them will We add Penalty to Penalty; for that they used to spread mischief.
Surah 26, Verse 183:

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

"And withhold not things justly due to men, nor do evil in the land, working mischief.
Surah 27, Verse 48:

وَكَانَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَهْطٍ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ

There were in the city nine men of a family, who made mischief in the land, and would not reform.
Surah 27, Verse 49:

قَالُوا تَقَاسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهُ وَأَهْلَهُ ثُمَّ لَنَقُولَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهِ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ أَهْلِهِ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ

They said: "Swear a mutual oath by Allah that we shall make a secret night attack on him and his people, and that we shall then say to his heir (when he seeks vengeance): 'We were not present at the slaughter of his people, and we are positively telling the truth.'"
Surah 27, Verse 50:

وَمَكَرُوا مَكْرًا وَمَكَرْنَا مَكْرًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

They plotted and planned, but We too planned, even while they perceived it not.
Surah 27, Verse 51:

فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ أَنَّا دَمَّرْنَاهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Then see what was the end of their plot!- this, that We destroyed them and their people, all (of them).
Surah 28, Verse 4:

إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعًا يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَائِفَةً مِّنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيِي نِسَاءَهُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ

Truly Pharaoh elated himself in the land and broke up its people into sections, depressing a small group among them: their sons he slew, but he kept alive their females: for he was indeed a maker of mischief.
Surah 28, Verse 77:

وَابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَأَحْسِن كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ

"But seek, with the (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on thee, the Home of the Hereafter, nor forget thy portion in this world: but do thou good, as Allah has been good to thee, and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land: for Allah loves not those who do mischief."
Surah 28, Verse 83:

تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

That Home of the Hereafter We shall give to those who intend not high-handedness or mischief on earth: and the end is (best) for the righteous.
Surah 29, Verse 30:

قَالَ رَبِّ انصُرْنِي عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْمُفْسِدِينَ

He said: "O my Lord! help Thou me against people who do mischief!"

Surah 38, Verse 28:

أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِينَ كَالْفُجَّارِ

Shall We treat those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, the same as those who do mischief on earth? Shall We treat those who guard against evil, the same as those who turn aside from the right?

The rumours that cause a stirring in hearts.



Assalamualaikum. 
Assalatu wa Salam ala sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alih wa sahbihi wa salim.

Dear brothers & sisters in Islam. 
In our life and world we have but one aim, that is to return to our Lord in a way that He is pleased with us. Al Qur'an is a complete guidance for everything. In our lives we have been forewarned by Allah SWT that the avowed enemy of mankind is one , which is shaitan. We are told never to take him as a friend. In this day and age of fitnah zaman, the age and era where we will see the end of times, we, the last ummah will have to endure many challenges; we have been lied to about many things and there are certain groups or organisations which are always referred to, that have their agendas to destroy mankind and dominate civilisation. We as Muslims need to increase our faith and knowledge, increase our deen and certainty about Islam. We must put our faith in Allah SWT The Most Truthful. In light of recent gossips, scares and fitnah about events that have been planned for these dates 23rd and or 24th of September in this year 2015; I would like to offer a reminder that we must never be gullible and that no one can foretell the future. If in fact there are plans for a major world destruction, event to open portals of other dimensions or start a world war; please go back to Al Qur'an and read the Hadith about what will happen at the end of times. We may or may not live to see these events but if we have children who may have our descendants , then we must educate them properly about Islam and it's teachings so that by being aware, they will have knowledge and increased faith in Allah, His beloved Seal of Prophets (SAAW) and we will be protected. We need to believe in our supplications to Allah SWT and not be deceived by the delegation of all the wali friends of Ad-Dajjal laknatullah. And by doing so, inshallah we shall be saved from the lies and propaganda that floods our networking sites by those who will incite hatred towards Islam and Muslims. This is the blessed month of Dzul-Hijjah, a blessed month indeed.
By my instincts and need to calm hearts , by the permission and mercy of Allah SWT which I seek, I compiled ayahs from surahs based on these calendar dates and hope that by reading them, those who tend to believe in ridiculous rumours will have their hearts anointed with peace and focus on the purpose of our souls' journey. Inshallah, it will thwart the rebels and enemies to have their way, to detract attention away from The One , Allah Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum.
Wassalamualaikum, wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. 
Wa salallahu ala sayyidina Muhammad, wa ala alih, wa sahbihi wa salam.

September is when the world Will stop existence, apparently

Apparently, the world will end this September.... An Islamic perspective. Reminder and solutions to allay FEAR

يُبَشِّرُهُمْ رَبُّهُم بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنْهُ وَرِضْوَانٍ وَجَنَّاتٍ لَّهُمْ فِيهَا نَعِيمٌ مُّقِيمٌ

Their Lord doth give them glad tidings of a Mercy from Himself, of His good pleasure, and of gardens for them, wherein are delights that endure:
Surah 9, Verse 22:

خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ

They will dwell therein for ever. Verily in Allah's presence is a reward, the greatest (of all).

Surah 9, Verse 25:

لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي مَوَاطِنَ كَثِيرَةٍ وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ إِذْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنكُمْ شَيْئًا وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُم مُّدْبِرِينَ

Assuredly Allah did help you in many battle-fields and on the day of Hunain: Behold! your great numbers elated you, but they availed you naught: the land, for all that it is wide, did constrain you, and ye turned back in retreat.
Surah 9, Verse 26:

ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ وَعَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَنزَلَ جُنُودًا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَعَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ

But Allah did pour His calm on the Messenger and on the Believers, and sent down forces which ye saw not: He punished the Unbelievers; thus doth He reward those without Faith.
Surah 9, Verse 27:

ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ مِن بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Again will Allah, after this, turn (in mercy) to whom He will: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Surah 20, Verse 15:

إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰ

"Verily the Hour is coming - My design is to keep it hidden - for every soul to receive its reward by the measure of its Endeavour.

According to me: the darkness of lies and deceit by mankinds' avowed enemy through any means outside the prescription of Al Qur'an and sunnah , should never be taken seriously because it wants to cause FEAR & FORGETFULNESS! However the economies develop or fall, which ever country/ies contrive to create havoc, demean and demoralise selected humans and forge disruptions, at the end is Allah SWT... As He Himself says in the last Surah complied her.  We may never live to see it... But what we are doing is to WASTE precious time on focusing on these manipulative scare tactics. "Everything swims in it's own orbit. 
Keep the den intact. This world is only Temporary... However we are sustained , our soul mate and our death are the only things that has been planned for.

Time to think people, 
Me to summarise it best;
"
Surah 2, Verse 135:

وَقَالُوا كُونُوا هُودًا أَوْ نَصَارَىٰ تَهْتَدُوا قُلْ بَلْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation)." Say thou: "Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with Allah."

[to be continued inshallah) Allah knows best what we yet don't know.

Pleasure in sharing

Assalamu alaikum
BismillahiRahmaniRahim

I have felt and experienced the Mercy and Love of Allah SWT throughout my life as a muslimah. By no means am I perfect, but what I have is a true and sincere need to try, to make efforts in whatever circumstances; by creating a balanced , middle way of life as a Muslim , in a world less than supportive of my chosen Islamic life. In dire straits and times of utter helplessness, when faith was weak, Allah SWT, never gave up on me. And one thing that saved me all the time was my daily shalat and constant remembrance of Allah SWT and that I chose Islam as my life commitment. I am constantly learning each day and with each intention to seek His Mercy and Pleasure. I share below some lovely reminders, that help me focus on my life purpose, existence in a human form and a free spirit yearning for the ultimate return to His realm. Was salaam... Jumaah Mubarak! 




Honour a guest

706. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He who believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him show hospitality to his guest; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him maintain good relation with kins; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day,  let him speak good or remain silent.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary:  To honour a guest means to welcome him cheerfully, entertain him happily according to our capacity and have full regard of his comfort and rest. As for our relatives, we are supposed to treat them nicely and to do our duty towards them.

Reserve in speech implies that we should avoid senseless and irrelevant talk. We are apt to pass most of our time in the remembrance of Allah, seeking His forgiveness and saying what is good to everybody. Or we had better keep silent. These three qualities are possessed by those people who believe in Allah and the Day of Reckoning.

In other words, those who lack these qualities betray only a weak and imperfect Faith.

Excellence of meeting with a smiling Countenance and Politeness in Speech


Chapter 88
Excellence of meeting with a smiling Countenance and Politeness in Speech

Allah, the Exalted, says:

"And lower your wings for the believers (be courteous to the fellow-believers).'' (15:88)

"And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you.'' (3:159)

693. `Adi bin Hatim (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Guard yourselves against the Fire (of Hell) even if it be only with half a date-fruit (given in charity); and if you cannot afford even that, you should at least say a good word.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: This Hadith highlights the point that Sadaqah has great benefits and even in its minimum scope and quantity it can ensure our safety against Hell-fire. We are told that if we do not have even a single date or half of it to give to a needy person, we can manage to have the same benefit by talking to him in a compassionate tone, provided we have Faith in our heart.

694. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "It is also charity to utter a good word.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary:  In Islam, it is not spending money alone that counts as charity; talking to somebody in a decent way also comes in the same context. Now, one can feel the importance Islam gives to moral values and good manners. This saying of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) is part of a long Hadith mentioned earlier. See Hadith No. 122.

695. Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Do not disdain a good deed, (no matter how small it may seem) even if it is your meeting with your (Muslim) brother with a cheerful face.''
[Muslim].

Commentary:  Every deed approved by the Shari`ah is considered good and rewarding. Howsoever seemingly small people may consider it, it must not be looked at from a highbrow angle. Even to meet people cheerfully is one of the Islamic virtues, though it may appear quite insignificant to some people.

44878: Falseness of the claims about the tenth planet


             What is your opinion about the so-called tenth planet or “death planet” that is expected to approach on 15/5/2003 and cause widespread destruction? There are people who say that this is true and that it is mentioned in the Holy Qur’aan, in Soorat al-Taariq. 
Please advise us, may Allaah have mercy on you, because the people who say this are calling upon the people to leave their homes and flee to other places if they want to survive.

Praise be to Allaah.

Shaykh Haamid al-‘Ali was asked on his website about this question and he said:

The Muslim should be sure of three things when he hears this kind of news: 

1 – That life on earth will never come to an end except as described in the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The end of history will never occur before the emergence of all of the lesser and greater signs of the Hour. One of those signs is that there will be conflict between the people of truth, who are the Muslims, and the people of evil and falsehood, who are all of those who oppose the religion of truth, Islam, and strive to extinguish its light. There are two distinct features of this conflict which will occur before the end of life. The first is a conflict between the Muslims and the people of the cross, as is mentioned in the saheeh ahaadeeth which speak of the battles at the end of time. 

The second is the battle between the Muslims at the time of the descent of ‘Eesa (peace be upon him) with the Dajjaal and his followers among the Jews. Then Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj (Gog and Magog) will appear, and they will die as one. 

Then the Muslims will rule the earth, then everyone in whose heart is faith equal to a grain of corn will die, when a cold wind blows that will take the souls of the believers. Then the Hour will begin soon after that and it will come upon the most evil of people who are scattered throughout the earth. The universe will not be destroyed when there is still one believer on earth, but when faith is gone it will be destroyed, because belief in Allaah is a reason for life to continue. 

The point is that it is not permissible for a Muslim to believe that the end of the world will occur in a manner different to that which is mentioned in the proven texts of the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). 

2 – It is not permissible for a Muslim to believe that heavenly bodies can bring benefit or ward off harm, or that they can bring provision or bring joy or sorrow, or that they have any control on the lives of men, and so on. This is a polytheistic belief (shirk) which is held by people of Jaahiliyyah. It is stated in the saheeh ahaadeeth that whoever believes in this is guilty of kufr. Thus it is clear that all claims made by astrologers are lies, kufr and shirk (the association of others with Allaah, may He be exalted). 

The planets are no more than bodies that are subject to the decree of Allaah and play their role in the universe. This does not mean that they do not behave according to the natural laws according to which Allaah has established the universe or have an effect on one another, as a result of which calamities, disasters and earthquakes occur. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah mentioned that eclipses affect the earth. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “A sign by means of which Allaah instils fear in His slaves” i.e., it points to the approach of events that have been decreed by Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, in order to instil fear and remind people of Allaah, an eloquent reminder of His power, a reminder of the end of the world, a reminder to him not to transgress and to remember always that he is on the earth of Allaah which, if He willed, He could cause to shake beneath his feet, and he would not be able to do anything. 

Hence earthquakes usually happen after eclipses, as do destructive storms. We seek refuge with Allaah from His wrath. He mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sought refuge with Allaah from the moon, because it has an effect, otherwise why would he seek refuge from it? But its effect is physical in nature like other physical effects that Allaah has created. 

So long as the Muslim believes that this all happens by the will and decree of Allaah, and that they are signs by means of which Allaah instils fear in His slaves, then it does not matter. But it is essential to understand the relationship between the movement of the planets and the sun and the movements of the earth, and the layers of the earth and the movement of the winds, on a scientific basis, and the interaction of natural scientific laws. Islam does not forbid that, rather it enjoins us to discover the laws of the universe that Allaah has created. 

3 – It is not permissible for a Muslim to ignore the ahaadeeth in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) spoke of what is to happen in the future in favour of what is said by scientists and astronomers whose words may be based on conjectures or expectations which soon be shown to be wrong. It is not valid for anyone to say that the fall of America, the emergence of the Mahdi, or the change in the global system or the balance of power will come as the result of the movement of the planets which will have a disastrous effect on the earth, in such and such a year, etc. 

Whoever states such a thing is speculating and speaking without knowledge, speaking about the unseen with no knowledge. If he is speaking within the framework of possibility, and what could happen, well many things could happen, but no one knows what is going to happen, and when, except Allaah alone. 

We have been commanded to strive against our enemies with what we have been given of strength, and to strive to surpass them, or to be equal to them, or to come close to them in terms of the physical and moral resources that they have, and not to rely on natural calamities  to destroy our enemies. 

We know from the seerah of our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that we should face our enemies with reliance upon Allaah first and foremost, then by means of the deep faith in our beliefs that Allaah has given us, and with firm resolve to reclaim our rights, patience in adhering to our path and persistence in conveying the message and ongoing jihad, until we reach our goal and our highest aim, which is to lead mankind to guidance and light, so that all of mankind may enjoy the message of mercy with which our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was sent. This is what he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did during his lifetime, and we have the best of examples in him. 

After this, we say that what this speaker has said about the planet Nibiru is worthless until it is proven by sound scientific evidence. If this planet is to have a destructive effect by passing close to the earth, and that is proven, then what we have to do is adhere to the three guidelines mentioned above, and turn to Allaah, praying to Him to avert disaster, and if it happens to relieve us of it, and to make the consequences better for us and the Muslims. 

But we think that everything that is said about this planet is a fabrication that has no basis in truth, or it is an exaggeration, and it is unwise to pay any attention to it.  

And Allaah knows best. 

What the questioner mentioned in his question has occurred in the past, and nothing happened, which confirms the idea that this is speculation and speaking without knowledge.

The following is related on the authority of Anas ibn Malik, Allah is pleased with him: The Messenger of God, blessings and peace upon him said:

"For a newborn child until he reaches the age of discretion, his good deeds are written to the credit of his parents, while his bad deeds are written neither against him nor against his parents. Once he reaches the age of discretion and the pen begins to write [his acts], God the Exalted issues His command to the two angels who accompany him and guard and counsel him. 

When he reaches forty years in Islam, God gives him security from three [things]: madness, leprosy and vitiligo. 

When he reaches fifty, God makes his reckoning lighter

When he reaches sixty, God grants him to revert to Him as pleases Him.

When he reaches seventy, the inhabitants of Heaven love him

When he reaches eighty, God records his good acts and is lenient with his bad ones.

When he reaches ninety, God forgives him his bygone sins and those to come, allows him to intercede on behalf of his family, and he becomes God's prisoner on the earth .

Then should he be returned to the worst age, so that after having had knowledge he knows nothing, God continues to record as good acts for him those which he used to do knows nothing. God continues to record as good acts for him those which he used to do when he was well, and if he commits an evil act it is not recorded."

This hadith is mentioned by Shaykh Ahmad ibn Ali ibn Abil Qasim al Yamani among the forty hadith has collected regarding the forgiveness of sins that had gone by and sins to come.

A man dies in accordance with what he had lived in, and is resurrected in accordance with what he had died in. [Hadith]

When God wishes good for His servants, He wishes him up. They said: "How does He wish him up?" and he replied: "He blesses him with success in doing good before he dies."

And when a funeral procession once passed by him the Prophet, blessings and peace upon him, said: "Delivered or delivered from!" They asked: "O Messenger of God! What is delivered, and what is delivered from?" He replied: "God's believing bondsman is delivered from the hardship of the world and its harm into His mercy. As for a depraved person: people, town, trees and animals are delivered from him."

And he said to Abu Dharr: "O Abu Dharr! The world is the prison of the believer, the grave his place of safety, and the Garden his end. O Abu Dharr! The world is the Garden of the disbeliever, the grave is his torment, and the Fire his end."

Ibn Abbas, Allah is pleased with him, said: "If you see death nearing a man, give him good tidings, so that he may meet his Lord thinking well of Him, and if you see him well and alive, put fear into him."

Ali, is pleased with him, said: "When a believer dies the place where he used to pray weeps for him, and so does the place from which his deeds used to ascend to Heaven." Then he recited: The heaven and earth wept not for them. [44:29] 

And [the Prophet] said, blessings and peace upon him: "Someone whose death coincides with the close of Ramadan enters the Garden, and someone whose death coincides with the close of Arafat enters the Garden, and someone whose death coincides with the close of his charity enters the Garden."

And he said: "Someone who dies on a Thursday night or on a Friday is given protection against the torment of the grave, and shall arrive on the Day of Rising with the marks of the martyrs."
