West misunderstands followers of Islam ? “Why not get closer to God, to understand them”

I read a tweet from someone about a month ago that said, “People under 30 don’t want to join a church; they want to join a movement (cause).“ And I heard a retired pastor once say, “Your generation doesn’t want to give their money to churches anymore. They don’t want to just give to a church. They have to see a cause. Present to them a cause and they will give.”http://compellingparade.com/2010/12/abandoning-church/ The way churches look and operate will always differ here and there, but the one way churches should NOT differ is in their passion for seeking first the Kingdom of God. There is always growth and movement within in Kingdom of God

Islam is a way of life, why any one should be surprised to know Islam is the same religion which was preached and promoted and made only way of life and path for the people of the world which guides them for success in this life and meeting with dignity with their creator in life after.

This is the same message and path which was path of Adam, David, Solomon, Ibrahim, Moses, Jesus, Isaac, and Mohammed all prophet of God may Allah’s blessings rewards be on them and their families always.

From the time when God created this universe and made man for wet sticky rhythmic mud called “Turab Faqar” and created Prophet Adam and from his Rib creating the first women and mother of all human beings. Continue reading

Praying & Charitable Closer to Heaven, But, hell for Backbitiers.

This verse resembles a person who backbites to one who eats the flesh of his dead brother.

Backbiting.

“O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, in deeds some suspicions are sins. And spy not neither backbite one another. Would one of you like toEAT THE FLESH OF HIS DEAD BROTHER? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah, verily, Allah is The One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful” (Qur’an 49: 12)

This verse resembles a person who backbites to one who eats the flesh of his dead brother.

How does Islam define Backbiting?

Talking about your brother in a manner which he does not like.

What if I my backbiting gossip is based on facts ?

If the backbiting is based on facts then it is defined as backbiting. If you are making the things up, then it is slander. Continue reading

Allah hu Akber - God is Great. All Kowning All Mercifull. The Master of Day of Judgment.

In Desire of Continuation of Sin, Denying Day of Judgment, they Perish.

Oh Allah, save us from the fire of Hell, and protect my deeds to make it haram on us. Oh Allah raise us with the righteous on the Day of Resurrection. Amin.

 

Most under the sky and on the earth, in heart of heart know and accept there is Creator to this whole universe and he is all-knowing and all-powerful, they also call him in hours of despair and most of them forget him in the times of comfort and worldly gains and pleasures.  

How are we, as human beings going to account of this disparity in our approach towards our creator and sustainer. We know most in us forget that we all are born with a drop of an unclean, sperm, developing in a lump like a leach and progress in forms and proportion to as a human body with a soul as a male or as a female.

Who has protected us in the wombs of our mother, and who has fed us and allowed to us progress as an infant in to a full fledged human being,  with all senses, understanding of good and the bad, and  who gave power to read understand and reason on the creations of Allah in this world so perfect and so logical.  Providing us all what we need and all that we desire and all that we ask form Him. Yet, many in us, Men and Women, refuse to appreciate and accept and bow to him in all humility and ask for his guidance and help in all matter of our stay on the mortal and ending earth.

Saving "Vessels of Deeds"

The Seal of Prophet of God Mohammed May Peace and Blessings of Allah be on him. {It was engraved "Allah's messenger Mohammed sas" on His ring which he used as His Seal. }

In the name of Allah the most beneficent and merciful.  Quran the book of guidance and merci for all mankind, which guides us mankind out from the darkness towards light, Reads

“Oh you who believed! Obey Allah and Obey the Messenger (Mohammed sas) and do not invalidate your deeds. “   Quran -Chapter 47 – verse 33.

A reward for deeds is directly linked to  our believe.  A believing Man and Women are at advantage of getting the good deeds which they do accepted and rewarded in right measure,  by the creator and the sustainer of universe almighty Allah.  Both in this world and the world after, that will never end. 

No amount of good deeds in this world will guarantee the pleasure and Merci of Allah. For  one who is a disbeliever,  rejectng clear signs of Allah and calling of his Messengers towards Him. Even after witnessing open truth from Allah and his Messenger repeatedly.

“That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood. And those who believe follow the truth from their Lord…”  Quran- Chapter 47 – Verse 3

“That is because they disliked Allah and what Allah has revealed, (This Quran) so He rendered worthless their deeds” Quran-Verse 9 – Chapt 47.

 Deeds of disbeliever are like the vessels which can never be filled till the cavity of disbelieve is repaired, and sealed  with submission to will of Allah  swt and accepting Allah swt as sole creator and sustainer of all Mankind, And to Him,  all mankind  will  return.  And he alone is worthy of our worship.

 This is one thing which none can dispute, “Each one of us is going to Die”.

Quran v185 chpt. Al-Imran

Every soul shall have a taste of death: and only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): for the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.

We also know, our stay on earth is for a short while, the final destination for all souls is Hereafter.

The world above, after our death is in infinite zone, to live for ever and ever.

There is a catch, in there.

There will be “two platforms to land in life after death”, one landing will take us to Heaven and the other will take us to Hell.Focus should be Heaven.

This life is given to us to prepare ourselves for safe landing.

We should focus our deeds to land on platform which will take us to Heaven, so that we a saved from rough landing of Hell.

As we understand our life on Earth, is full of tests and challenges, attractions, distraction, entertainment, evil surrounded, and plagued minds and spoiled intentions.

We are with a purpose on earth, with all its distractions and hurdles, life on earth is soul medium which can make us Win or Lose, i.e. Haven or Hell.

We have the task to sail thru all in this life, keep, focus of our eyes on ultimate reward for goodness for this life i.e. “The Heaven”. God Willing. (Inshallah). We will.

 Purpose of Our Life on Earth The purpose of life on earth is to understand the creator of universe thru, His revelations on Prophets and Messengers sent by Him, since the Adam, with a purpose to guide Mankind to the right path.

The path which will make us, good obedient, and submitting souls, worthy of blessings and rewards, by Him on the day of Judgment.Revelations and Message of God.

The last of the Revelation being The Holy Quran revealed on Mohammed SAS, the last prophet of God, with him God Almighty completed his message of Islam to Mankind.

Islam the religion of Oneness of God the art of understating it is in the Live of his Messenger Prophet Mohammed sas.

 The Message is Broad and Clear for us to Understand and Obey.

There is one God , and there is life after this life, we all will be raised for accounting for our deeds of this life on the day of judgment, the reward and punishment giving session the day of judgment.Understanding Creator, His Message and his Messenger.

 This life is to tune our souls to know our Creator, in whose hands is our life, He is the master of the Day of Judgment.

All souls born will Die, they all will be raised from there graves, on the Day of Judgment to face Him for his final verdict.

We should experience His presence and power by understanding His creation and following His message and His Messengers.

 The True Teacher of Allah swt , Mohammed sas.The other important aspect of understanding Him is to known who The Creator is and what is His message means for us and how does He like us to prepare for our meeting with him when we Die.

He gave us his Messanger as the true Teacher to teach and prepare us to our test.

The Massager and his teachings, when followed. Will pave a well Lit Path for our journey in “Alame Barzaq” The Grave in the Day of Judgment “Maidan e Hashar” hear after.

Say: “O men! I am sent unto you all, as the Messenger of Allah, to Whom belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth: there is no god but He: it is He that giveth both life and death. So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, who believed in Allah and His words: follow him that (so) ye may be guided.”  Quran al Hakeem verse 158  chapt Al Araf

The World of Grave, or our stay there is the Middle Part of this life and the never ending life after death the “Akeerah” Hereafter.

Grave welcomes you with a Questioner, only the righteous will Answer correctly.

Let us try to understand thru the sayings of Prophet Mohammed SAS.

Cycle of Soul.

Our soul has a cycle. From Womb of Mother, to Flesh and Blood on Earth, then to “Alame Barzaq” i.e. The Grave, Finally to be raised from graves to Enter Eternal life and face, “Day of Judgment” i.e. “Maidan E Hashar”
