Reflect and Ponder (19)

Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Leave that which puts you in doubt and turn to towards that which doesn't put you in doubt."

SubhanAllah, these are the beautiful words of the Leader of mankind. If only we could make this the rule in our lives.

Why should we sacrifice our hereafter by going into doubtful things in which there is a valid Shar'ii possibility that it may be haraam, impermissible??

Is our life in the hereafter so cheap??
Why put our eternity into jeapardy for short lived pleasure??

Please, let us deeply think and ponder over this beautiful hadith.

REJECT HADITH??? SATANIC PROPAGANDA

Some "illuminated" thinkers have emerged with the comical contention that Hadith is unreliable, thus it should either be completely ignored, or taylored to fit our nonsensical whims and fancies, our conveniences and desires. This Satanic movement to destroy and uproot the very foundation of Islam is not new at all. It has been existing for way more than a century.
It has only re-emerged with a modern design. Rest assured, it's the same filth being marketed with a new look to bait poor, innocent, naive Muslims.
 
It is terribly sad to see that "Muslims" have relegated themselves to such sunken abysses of ignorance.
To reject and brush aside the sayings and teachings of Allah's most beloved, the leader of the worlds, Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam on the basis of such a baseless, spurious and foolish argument that Hadith is unreliable and unauthentic, is such an extreme fallacy that is sufficient to plunge one into the dark dungeons of kufr - disbelief - an exit from the fold of Islam.
The Quran and Hadith go hand in hand, each one unable to stand on it's own without the other, and this is what is Deen, and this is what it has been for the past 1400 years plus.
How do we know that the Quran is the Quran??
Who told us? Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, who else. Isn't that Hadith? So basically, the Quran has reached us through hadith. The result?? The rejectors of Hadith are in actual fact rejectors of the Quran!!
If we choose to follow only the Quran, I ask you is there anybody who would know how to perform just 2 rak'aah of Salaah??
How can we use the Quran to decide which Hadith is right and which is not??
The categorization of Hadith has already been done more than a millenium ago.
From the Hadith, the 4 Imams, whose madhabs we have to follow, extracted laws.
All we have to do is follow those laws. Simple.
To grow a beard is compulsory according to all 4 madhabs.

May Allah give us guidance and understanding. Ameen

Reflect and Ponder (18)

In any disagreement, to reach a solution and reconciliation, all parties involved must give in a little and admit their fault. For any side to think that he/she is the only one who is right, the other side is completely wrong, and that it is they who should give in, is a clear sign of pride, and in this way, agreement will never be reached.

(However, this is not so for a disagreement directly connected to the upholding of Shariah and Deen. There, Allah's word should be put on top and held on fast to without any giving in.)

The main cause of disagreement is lack of proper and clear communication, and misunderstanding and misinterpretation of words. We take everybody/s words in the worst possible meaning, and this is what plagues healthy relationships.

Reflect and Ponder (17)

The intelligent one is he who speaks less and listens more. Today everybody tries to do the opposite. Don't be like a crow - don't try to make yourself get heard, and don't try to make people listen to you everywhere you go, in every gathering. If you have to speak, say only that much which is necessary, choosing your words carefully, and knowing full well who you are speaking to and who is present listening. Don't ever make out yourself to be imposing.

ENHANCE YOUR BEAUTY- A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO MY SISTERS

As a result of the immense importance attached to the outer figure by none other than our enemies, termed as the West, which is actually a misnomer, who continuously carry the worry about how the Ummah can self destruct and become incapacitated, today's Muslim women will spend hours of their precious time everyday, and thousands, in beauty salons and parlours, and on beauty products, trying there level best to create on their faces that elusive perfect look which will never come.

We have been programmed to give everything for outer beauty, and turn away from and completely ignore our inner beauty, which is the beauty that really matters.

By inner beauty, I mean beautiful qualities and akhlaaq, something which is becoming extinct today.

The reality is this, and I'm sure many of you have physically experienced this, and will attest to its truth -  :

NO MATTER HOW BEAUTIFUL A WOMAN'S LOOKS MAY BE FROM THE OUTSIDE, IF HER INSIDE IS DIRTY, AND HER AKHLAAQ ARE TERRIBLE, THAN THIS WILL HAVE SUCH AN EFFECT ON HER FACE, THAT SHE WON'T LOOK BEAUTIFUL ANY MORE.

WHEREAS, A WOMAN WHOSE INSIDE IS BEAUTIFUL, ADORNED WITH PRAISEWORTHY QUALITIES AND BEAUTIFUL AKHLAAQ, THAN NO MATTER HOW UGLY SHE MAY BE, THIS INNER BEAUTY WILL REFLECT ON HER FACE AND MAKE HER LOOK BEAUTIFUL!

Honestly tell me, isn't this a fact??

Today, unfortunately, Muslim women, ever eager to follow and emulate glamorous plastic-faced celebrities, have completely ignored this most important facet, and this has in turn led to problems in the family, in the community, and ultimately becomes the cause of total societal breakdown, which is exactly what "THEY" want.

Once, Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam mentioned a woman who used to involve herself in a lot of nafl ibaadah, but had bad akhlaaq, to be burning in Jahannam, hell.
He mentioned another woman who hardly used to do any nafl ibaadah, but had beautiful akhlaaq, to be in Jannah.

Something to think about??

In another hadith, Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam has been reported to have said that on the day of Qiyaamah, the thing which will be weightiest on the scales is good akhlaaq.

The main component of beautiful akhlaaq is proper use of the tongue. Indeed, it is the tongue which ultimately determines how the character of a person is, and it is with the misuse of the tongue that most women earn the wrath of Allah, as is mentioned in the hadith, which we will inshaAllah discuss later when we talk in detail about the tongue.

So, my dear beloved sisters, instead of emptying out your purses on countless useless creams and lotions, why don't you take me up on this??  It won't cost you a penny and I'm guaranteeing 100% success, and a total permanent facial makeover which will not only make your life in this world pleasant, as all around you will like you more, but it will ensure that you attain eternal peace in Jannah.

Not a bad deal, huh? Just try it out.

May Allah give us tawfeeq, ameen.

Reflect and Ponder (16)

Never join in with the flow, rather, do what is right according to shariah. Never ever do anything to please people when it means breaking the laws of shariah in the process. Never try to "fit in" by conforming to the popular and over riding ideas and beliefs of a particular community and society. Today the Muslim Ummah has lost its identity because it has followed the famous saying, obviously originated by our enemies, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." This ploy to destroy the Muslims has been there for many millenia (1000s of years) now, but, unfortunately, the Ummah is complacently unaware. Let us wake up!!!

THE BEAUTY OF KAUTHAR

The ahadith have painted a very enticing picture of the exquisite beauty of the river of Kauthar, which is Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's special river in Jannah.
It will be many hundreds of miles long. On its sides will be domes of hollow pearl. In another narration, tents of pearl, and palaces of pearls. In yet another narration, the sides will be made of gold.
The sand of this river will pure musk. The stones and pebbles of this river will be pearls, emerald, rubies and other precious stones.

The water of this river will be whiter than milk, sweeter than honey.
Can you imagine the beauty??!

The cups and goblets will be shining like stars and their number will be more than the stars.
The one who drinks from it will never feel thirst again.
Our beloved Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam will be there, giving every member of his Ummah a cup of it to drink, with his own blessed hands!!! SubhanAllah, what a time that will be! Who wouldn't want to be blessed with this bounty??

Yet, unfortunately, there will be some from this Ummah who will be DEPRIVED OF THIS BOUNTY!!

WHO?? It is narrated in a hadith that a group of people will come forward to get this drink, and Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam will be about to hand it to them, when Jibreel (AS) will come in between and push them away with his wing. Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam will say to Jibreel, "But they are from my Ummah?"
Jibreel (AS) will reply, "You do not know what they have done after you left."

One of the interpretations of this is that it refers to AHLUL BID'AH - THE PEOPLE OF INNOVATION. They are those people who brought new things into Deen, which were not there in the first three eras of Islam.
In another narration it is mentioned that when Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam will here this, he will get angry, and he himself will chase these people away using the word "Suhqan!"

"SUHQAN" in Arabic is a word used to chase away DOGS! Allah also uses this word in the Quran to refer to the people of Jahannam - hell!!

YA ALLAH, IF ONLY WE COULD UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS!!
ON THAT DAY IF WE WILL BE PUSHED AWAY FROM KAUTHAR, WHERE WILL WE GO??
DO WE WANT TO BE DEPRIVED OF SUCH A BEAUTIFUL NE'MAH?

Unfortunately, today a large part of the Ummah is involved in various acts of innovation.
This is especially so in the days of Ramadhan, Eid ul Fitr, Eid ul Adha, Aashura (10th Muharram) and 15th of Shaaban.

My dear brothers and sisters, it is my heartfelt plea to all of you, we need to come away from this, otherwise we will be amongst the unfortunate ones described above.
However, it is important to know exactly what is bid'ah and what isn't, because there are some people who, out of ignorance, classify some acts as bid'ah whereas they are proven from Sunnah.
InshaAllah soon, we will discuss in detail the different acts of bid'ah which are truly bid'ah, and point out those which people say they are bid'ah but in reality they are not.
May Allah give us tawfeeq.
