MUHAMMADUR RASOOL ALLAH.

“Surely Allah (S.W.T.) and his Angels” bless the Prophet; O you who believe! Call for (Divine) blessings on him and salute him with a (becoming) salutation.” (33:56) (Shaakir)

Durood (Blessings) and Salaam (Peace) on Muhammad, his Family, and his Companions.

Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam, i.e. the peace and Blessings of Allah Be upon him (the Prophet).
We as Muslims have been commanded to say this every time the Prophet's name is mentioned.
This is done as a mark of respect and the honour which he deserves.

Blessings of Durood Shareef
“The Prophet of Allah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) asked the Sa’haba. “Who is a stingy and miserly person? The Sa’haba -Madinah Dome responded:” O Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam). a stingy person is he who has loads of wealth but does not spend it.” The Prophet of Allah (Sallallaahu alaihi Wasallam) responded “No! A Stingy and Miserly person is he in whose presence my name is mentioned and he does not recite Durood.”
The Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) has said that whoever recites Durood upon me for his each recitation Allah Ta Ala will forgive ten of his sins, his rank in paradise will be raised by ten Degrees, and he will receive ten blessings.
Whoever recites Durood abundantly, will be the closest to The Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).

THE MEANING OF: MUHAMMADUR RASOOL ALLAH

Now let us look at the second part of Kalimah Tayyab starting again with the literal translation of the words MUHAMMAD (UR) RASOOL ULLAH.

MUHAMMAD means MUHAMMAD
RASOOL means RASOOL (Loosely translated to MESSENGER) (OF)
ALLAH means ALLAH

Every Muslim will translate MUHAMMAD RASOOL ALLAH to mean Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

There are no problems here. Except in comprehension. Some Muslims do not even realize what they are uttering.
They are not paying attention to the words of the Kalimah. They are veiled from the meaning of the Kalimah.

When someone utters YA MUHAMMAD, others will quickly admonish the uttered that he/she cannot say YA Muhammad. Why?

The admonishers believe that Muhammad the Messenger of Allah is not present with us in this world.
We can only use YA for someone who is present. Therefore it is all right to say YA ALLAH, but it is not right to say YA MUHAMMAD.

Let me reiterate what I have already written in the above section (LA ILAHA ILL ALLAH). To become a Muslim, a person must first of all say the Kalimah Tayyab LA ILAHA ILL ALLAH MUHAMMADUR RASOOL ALLAH with total belief. A person who does not believe in this Kalimah is not a Muslim. The translation of this Kalimah is:

THERE IS NO GOD ONLY ALLAH, MUHAMMAD IS THE RASOOL (MESSENGER) OF ALLAH.

In this section we are dealing with the second part of the Kalimah. MUHAMMADUR RASOOL ALLAH. Literally translated if means MUHAMMAD MESSENGER OF ALLAH. Grammatically translated the meaning is:

MUHAMMAD IS THE RASOOL (MESSENGER) OF ALLAH.

If we look at the literal translation, it clearly states Muhammad the MESSENGER OF ALLAH (SWT). There is no mention of time in relation to Past, Present or Future. The grammatically correct translation states:



Muhammad IS the Rasool (messenger) of Allah.

Muhammad IS the Rasool (messenger) of Allah.

Muhammad IS the Rasool (messenger) of Allah.


Is MUHAMMAD (SAW) IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH in the present tense?

“Yes” or No?

Does MUHAMMAD (SAW) IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH not mean this very moment?

“Yes” or No?

Yet the admonishers do not even realize what they are saying when reciting the Kalimah Tayyab.
If a Muslim today cannot say Ya Muhammad he cannot say Muhammad IS the messenger of Allah by the same reasoning.
I challenge anyone to change IS to WAS. Whoever does that, will be a non believer (Kafir).
The door of prophet ship is closed. Muhammad (SAW) is the seal of all the Prophets.
He is the Messenger of Allah to all those who are here today and for those who are yet to be born.
That implies today, tomorrow and the rest of time which is eternity. MUHAMMAD (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) is the messenger of Allah even in the next world because we the Muslims will still be known as Muhammad's Ummah or Community.

Although we cannot see Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) physically, spiritually he is always present. As far as the souls are concerned, the very first Soul, or Ruh, or Light that Allah created was the Light of Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) . That Light (Ruh / Soul) said "Subhan Allah" for 70,000 years. Today some of the Muslims say Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) is not present, so we cannot say YA MUHAMMAD. Muhammad was PRESENT (Hadar) even before the creation of heavens and earth, how can he not be PRESENT now! He is the First and the Last Prophet (Awal and Akhir these are also among the names of the Muhammad). Those who say it is wrong to say Ya Muhammad only think in terms of a physical body. By the same logic, has anyone seen Allah Subhana WA Ta Ala physically? Yet we say Ya Allah.

When Hadrat Adam (A.S.) was sent from heaven to earth for eating the forbidden fruit he repented for 330 years. Then Allah gave Adam (A.S.) guidance and he remembered The Kalimah he had seen inscribed in heaven

LA ILAHA ILL ALLAH MUHAMMADUR RASOOL ALLAH.

When Adam A.S. (recited the Kalimah, Allah SWT accepted his prayer and forgave Adam ... Even Adam (A.S.) had to say:

THERE IS NO GOD ONLY ALLAH, MUHAMMAD IS THE RASOOL (MESSENGER) OF ALLAH.

Why did he not say Muhammad WILL BE the messenger of Allah?
Was Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) present then or not? You can answer this question for your self. Only Allah Knows Best!

I pray to Allah to Reward Brother, Ahmed Hulusi and Ahmed Baki, for their Contribution to Islam.

May Allah guide us to the right path, the path of those on whom Allah has bestowed His grace - AMEEN.


Durood (Blessings) and Salaam (Peace) on Muhammad, his Family, and his Companions.

INSHALLAH ALLAH S.W.T. INCREASES MY LOVE FOR The Messenger of Allah.


Islam rejects characterizing God in any human form or depicting Him as favoring certain individuals or nations on the basis of wealth, power or race. He created the human beings as equals. They may distinguish themselves and get His favor through virtue and piety only.

The concept that God rested in the seventh day of creation, that God wrestled with one of His soldiers, that God is an envious plotter against mankind, or that God is incarnate in any human being are considered blasphemy from the Islamic point of view.

The unique usage of Allah as a personal name of God is a reflection of Islam's emphasis on the purity of the belief in God which is the essence of the message of all God's messengers. Because of this, Islam considers associating any deity or personality with God as a deadly sin which God will never forgive, despite the fact He may forgive all other sins.

It is a known fact that every language has one or more terms that are used in reference to God and sometimes to lesser deities. This is not the case with Allah. Allah is the personal name of the one true God. Nothing else can be called Allah. The term has no plural or gender. This shows its uniqueness when compared with the word god who can be made plural, gods, or feminine, goddess. It is interesting to notice that Allah is the personal name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus and a sister language of Arabic.

The One true God is a reflection of the unique concept that Islam associates with God. To a Muslim, Allah is the Almighty, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, who is similar to nothing and nothing is comparable to Him. The Prophet Muhammad was asked by his contemporaries about Allah; the answer came directly from God Himself in the form of a short chapter of the Quran, which is considered the essence of the unity or the motto of monotheism. This is chapter 112 which reads:

    "In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
    Say (O Muhammad) He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not anyone."

Some non-Muslims allege that God in Islam is a stern and cruel God who demands to be obeyed fully. He is not loving and kind. Nothing can be farther from truth than this allegation. It is enough to know that, with the exception of one, each of the 114 chapters of the Quran begins with the verse: "In the name of God, the Merciful, and the Compassionate." In one of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) we are told that "God is more loving and kinder than a mother to her dear child."

But God is also just. Hence evildoers and sinners must have their share of punishment and the virtuous, His bounties and favors. Actually God's attribute of Mercy has full manifestation in His attribute of Justice. People suffering throughout their lives for His sake and people oppressing and exploiting other people all their lives should not receive similar treatment from their Lord. Expecting similar treatment for them will amount to negating the very belief in the accountability of man in the Hereafter and thereby negating all the incentives for a moral and virtuous life in this world. The following Quranic verses are very clear and straightforward in this respect:

    "Verily, for the Righteous are gardens of Delight, in the Presence of their Lord. Shall we then treat the people of Faith like the people of Sin? What is the matter with you? How judge you?" (68:34-3


  First Part: of Kalimah Tayyab.

La Ilaha Ill Allah Muhammadur Rasool Allah (There is no god only Allah, Muhammad is the Rasool (Messenger) of Allah) is also known as Kalimah Tayyab. Kalimah Tayyab is the testifications of faith in Islam. A person cannot be considered to be a Muslim if he/she does not believe in the words of this Kalimah. To become a Muslim, a person must say this Kalimah with total belief. Another point about this Kalimah is the name given to it, which is Tayyab. Tayyab means Purity. By uttering this Kalimah a person is purified from disbelief. An impure person becomes pure. This purification is spiritual.

The Messenger of Allah added, "There will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: 'La ilaha ill Allah,' and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a barley grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: ' La ilaha ill Allah,' and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a wheat grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: 'La ilaha ill Allah,' and has in his heart good equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant)."
When the death of Abu Talib approached, the Messenger of Allah came to him and said, "Say: La ilaha ill Allah, a word with which I will be able to defend you before Allah."

[Sahih Bukhari]

 LA ILAHA ILL ALLAH MUHAMMADUR RASOOL ALLAH
THERE IS NO GOD ONLY ALLAH, MUHAMMAD IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH
INTRODUCTION


THE MEANING OF: LA ILAHA ILL ALLAH

Let us start by looking at the literal translation of the words LA ILAHA ILL ALLAH.

LA means NO
ILAHA means GOD
ILL means ONLY or BUT
ALLAH means ALLAH

Most of the Muslims even today substitute the word GOD for the Name ALLAH. They go so far as translating the words LA ILAHA ILL ALLAH to mean there is no god but God. This latter translation is incorrect. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE! Is Allah a God? No! It’s the short and simple answer. Allah is not a God with a capital G or little g. The first Kalimah (Testifications) says clearly LA ILAHA (NO GOD!) ILL ALLAH (Only ALLAH). The biggest misunderstanding has started from the Translations of the Holy Quran. The translators freely substituted the word GOD where ever the name ALLAH is mentioned. It is, as if they are apologizing on Allah's behalf and, in their minds, correcting the words of the Holy Quran. To compound the problem, the translators use outdated English which is neither spoken nor read by the majority of the population. It is this misrepresentation that has caused the confusion. Today so many Muslims who do not understand Arabic believe Allah and God is one and the same because they can only understand the (incorrect) English translation. This is a major downfall. Have you ever really considered why the Kalimah started with a Negative word NO followed by GOD? It was to stop the people worshipping gods in the form of statues or in the form of pictures, or in the form of mental images. It was to stop people worshipping a god or gods sitting on a throne. If Allah is a god then the Kalimah might have started with YES there is a God, or Allah is the only God, but it does not. The Kalimah starts with NO god.

The name Allah cannot be converted to the English word God. Allah is infinite, which means Allah has no boundaries. Allah has no centre. Allah has no inside and no outside. If Allah had boundaries then that would limit Allah. We are told in the Quran:

WA LILLAHIL MASHRIQU WAL MAGRIBU FA AIYNAMA TU WALLU FA SAMMA WAJHU (A)LLAHI INN ALLAHA WASI UN ALEEM

115 To Allah belong the East and the West; where ever you turn there is the presence of Allah. For Allah is All Pervading All Knowing.

[Quran: Al Baqara, Chapter 2]

If Allah was a god then we would not see his face everywhere. He would be limited by form or shape. He would be limited by time and place. Allah has no form or shape because with form and shape there is an outline that forms the shape or boundary. We are informed about this in the Holy Quran:

ALLAHUS SAMAD

2 Allah the Absolute

[Quran: Al Ikhlas, Chapter 112]

Which means Allah is not limited by time, place or circumstance. Some readers may say that Allah is referred to as God in the Holy Quran. This is true. An example of this is given here:

INN AL LAZEENA KAFAROO WA MA TOO WA HUM KUFFARUN ULAIKA ALAI HIM LA NAT ULLAHI WAL MALAAIKA TI WAN NASI AJMAEEN (A)

161 Those that disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers; on them is the curse of Allah and of angels and of all mankind.

KHALI DEENA FEEHA LA YU KHAF FAFU AN HUMUL AZABU WA LA HUM YUN ZAROON (A)

162 They will dwell in there. Their penalty will not be lightened, neither will they be reprieved.

WA ILAHU KUM ILAHUN WAHIDUL LA ILAHA ILLA HU WAR RAHMAN UR RAHEEM

163 Your God is One God; there is no god Only He, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[Quran: Al Baqara, Chapter 2]

In verse 163, the word God (ILAHA) is used to describe Allah (Your God is One God), but notice the context in which it is used. Allah is addressing the NON-MUSLIMS. After telling the disbelievers of the fate that awaits them, Allah informs them that their God is one God WA ILAHUKUM ILAHUN WAHID because they are only familiar with the concept of god. Allah tells the non-Muslims using the terminology that the non-Muslims are familiar with, which is god. Immediately following that in the same verse we are told LA ILAHA ILLA HU. There is no god only He the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful which is addressed to the Muslims. So the last part of verse 163 is addressed to the Muslims who should not interchange the Name Allah with the word god. You will find the word ILAHA 'God' is used throughout the Holy Quran whenever the verses are addressed to the Non-Muslims.

Taking just one more example:

1 ALIF LAAM MEEM
ALLAHU LA ILAHA ILLA HU WAL HAIYUL QAIYYUM

2 Allah! There is no god only He, the Living, the Eternal.

[Quran: Al Imran Chapter 3]

Again we are told in the Holy Quran that there is no god with little 'g' or capital 'G'. So who is Allah? Muhammad the Messenger of Allah and all the great Muslim saints (ra) from the past to present have said no one should contemplate on the essence of Allah because in doing that, a person will fall into error. But we must reflect on Allah's attributes or qualities in order to attain nearness to Him.

His Name is Allah, and his attributes or qualities are Ar Rahman (The Most Gracious), Ar Rahim (The Most Merciful), Al Malik (The Sovereign), Al Quddus (The Holy One), As Salaam (The Source of Peace), Al Mu_min (The Guardian of Faith), Al Muhaiymin (The Preserver of Safety), Al Aziz (The Exalted in Might), Al Jab bar (The Irresistible), Al Mutakabir (The Supreme) and all the other qualities mentioned in the Holy Quran.

I found in one translation of "Al Futhu Rabbani", the translator had freely used the word God when Referring to Allah. I could not find the NAME Allah anywhere in the entire book. I wrote and pointed this out to the translator. He replied, "The word GOD is mentioned in the Webster's Dictionary. It is derived from the Indian word Gauss meaning Savior."

The Muslims use the word Gauss for the person who is the Chief of the Walees (saints). (Sheikh of Sheikhs). The Christians use the word Savior for Isa (Jesus (A.S.). It is sad to find that these people, who translate the Holy Quran and the works of prominent saints, use the word 'God' wherever they come across the Name 'Allah'. Countless people read these translations. The readers are brain washed into believing that 'Allah' is 'God'. Is it any surprise the Muslims are suffering in this day and age, when people who have impact (that is the translators) on the lives of other people are ashamed to use the Name Allah from the Holy Quran which is the word of Allah? They would rather use the word 'God' from a Dictionary written by men.

In this day and age, the entire population of the earth is aware of the religion of Islam. They are also aware, that those who practice and follow Islam are called Muslims and not Mohammedans. By the same reasoning, the entire population of the earth is aware of the Name ALLAH. Now it must be made clear to everyone including the ignorant Muslims (through no fault of their own), that the Muslims serve Allah, they do not worship any God.

In conclusion Allah is not a god. There is no god only Allah. Allah is the proper name of our Creator. Allah is infinite, because where ever we turn there is the Face of Allah. There are some Muslims who will argue that Allah is not everywhere. After providing the proof from the Holy Quran (Chapter 2 verse 115) if they still dispute that Allah is not everywhere then they have rejected the Word of Allah. Only Allah Knows Best!

This is the literal meaning of the
LA ILAHA ILL ALLAH.

Loyalty to Allah

Due to the first benefit of Islam in which you have better knowledge of Allah, you allegiance, obedience and loyalty will be to Allah only. You will undeniably put all your trust in Allah and follow Him prior to following anyone else.

ALLAH as introduced by MUHAMMAD s.a.w.

Wait for the second part of Kalimah… THE MEANING OF: MUHAMMADUR RASOOL ALLAH……………………………………………………………………………..

Allah will take away his distress and grief, and replace it with joy.

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has said, ‘When you visit a sick person, then tell him to make dua for you, because his duas are (accepted readily) like the duas of the Angels.’ (Ibn Majah)

 “While Jibril (alayhi salaam) was sitting with the
Prophet, he heard a sound above him and raised his head. He said, ‘This is a door of heaven which has been opened today and which has never been opened before today. An angel descended from it.’ He said, ‘This is an angel who has descended to earth who has never descended before today.’
He gave the greeting and said, “Give the good news of two lights which you have been given and which no Prophet before you was given: the Fatiha of the Book and the end of Surah al-Baqarah (2). You will not recite a letter of them without being given it.”
[Muslim,

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has also said, ‘The dua of a sick person is not rejected until he recovers from his sickness.’ (Ibn Abi dunya)



Thabit and I went to Anas bin Malik. Thabit said, “O Abu Hamza! I am sick.” On that Anas said, “Shall I treat you with the Ruqya of Allah’s Apostle?” Thabit said, “Yes,” Anas recited, “O Allah! The Lord of the people, the Remover of trouble! (Please) cure (Heal) (this patient), for you are the Healer. None brings about healing but you; a healing that will leave behind no ailment.”


Hadrat Aisha (Radiyallaahu anha) relates that whenever Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) would become ill, he would recite the Mu’awwizaat (Surah al-Falaq and Surah an-Nas) and then blow his breath over himself and rub his hands over his (auspicious) body. (Bukhari and Muslim) She also says that when anyone in his family was sick, he would recite the Mu’awwizaat and blow onto the sick person’s body. (Sahih Muslim)

Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu anhu) reported that when Allah’s Messenger (sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) asked Ubayy ibn Ka`b (radiyallaahu anhu), “Do you want me to
Teach you a Surah the like of which has not been revealed in the Torah, the Injil, the Zabur, nor the Qur’an?”, and also asked what he recited in his prayers. He replied Umm-ul Qur’an (Surah Fatiha) the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam)
proclaimed, ‘By Him in whose dominion my soul is, nothing like it has been revealed in the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, or the Qur’an and it is seven of the oft- Repeated verses in the Mighty Qur’an which I have been given’

We send down in the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss. (Surat al-Isra’, 82)

If we had made it a Qur’an in a foreign tongue they would have said, ‘Why have its Signs not been made plain? What! “A foreign language for an Arab”?’ Say: ‘It is guidance and healing for people who believe. Those who do not believe have heaviness in their ears and for them it is blindness. Such people are being called from a very distant place.’ (Surah Fussilet, 44)

Cure: Allah mentions a sick person and says that the Qur’an is the cure. Those with sickness in their hearts will submit themselves to the doctor and get themselves cured. The important matter is to accept their sickness and want to get cured and submit themselves to the doctor.

Allah said that his Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said,

"And He feeds me and quenches my thirst and when I fall sick then He (Allah) cures me." Surah Ash-Shura (The Poets) ... 80,

Some scholars of Tafseer explain that there is a relation between what we eat and drink and falling sick since most people fall ill because of their diet. This could be a reason why Allah mentioned that Ibrahim (peace be upon him) recognized that Allah is the One who provides sustenance for us but that sickness is due to our own self and this is why sickness is mentioned after food and drink in this Verse.
"And we sent down of the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe." [Surah Isra: 82]
A healing to 'those who believe" showing the importance of rectifying our belief and actions such that we are true believers if we want the Qur'an to benefit us.
Ayyub (peace be upon him) called upon his Lord, "And remember Ayyub when he cried to his Lord: Verily, distress has seized me, and you are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy." [Surah al-Anbiyaa: 83] When, he was inflicted with harm.
And the reply came from his lord:
"We answered him and removed the distress that was on him" [Surah al-Anbiyaa: 84]
"O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (Qur'an) enjoining all that is good and forbidding all that is evil, and a healing for that which is in your breasts, a guidance and a mercy for the believers." [Surah Yunus: 57]
This shows us that the Qur'an has four benefits:
A good advice
Cure for our hearts from all diseases
Guidance
Mercy for mankind

"Say: it (the Qur'an) is a healing for those who believe a guide and healing" [Surah Fussilet: 44]

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: There is no-one who is afflicted by distress and grief, and says: Allaahumma inni abduka ibn abdika ibn amatika naasiyatee bi yadika, maada fi hukmuka, adlun fi qadaaika. As’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw istakharata bihi fi ilm il-ghayb indaka an tajal al-Quraana Rabee qalbee wa noor sadree wa jalaa’a huznee wa dhihaab hammi (O Allah, I am Your slave, son of Your male and female slave, my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You have named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, that You make the Quran the harvest of my heart and the light of my chest, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety), but Allah will take away his distress and grief, and replace it with joy. He was asked:
O Messenger of Allah, should we learn this? He said: Of course; everyone who hears it should learn it.
"And if Allah tests you with affliction, there is none who can remove it but He" [Surah Yunus: 107]
"And He will give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people." [Surah Tawba: 14]

When you sleep read ayat al-Kursi
Abu Hurairah reported  that the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "When you are about to sleep recite Ayatul Kursi till the end of the Verse for there will remain for you a protection from Allah and no devil will draw to you until morning." [Saheeh al-Bukhari]

The last two Verses of Surah al-Baqara
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, whoever recites the last two Verses of Surah al-Baqara at night, those two Verses shall be sufficient for him." [Saheeh al-Bukhari and Saheeh Muslim].


The last three chapter of the Qur'an
When retiring to his bed every night, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would hold his palms together, blow into them, recite the last three chapters of the Qur'an and then wipe his entire body as much as possible with his hands, beginning with the head and face and then all parts of the body, he would do this three times." [Saheeh al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Surah al-Falaq and Surah Nas
Aisha said "when someone fell ill from the Prophet's family he did 'nafath' on them (to blow three times over them reciting the two chapters of seeking refuge -Surah al-Falaq and Surah Nas). When he himself fell ill, the illness which lead to his death I would (similarly) do 'nafath' on him and would wipe him with his own hands for it was more blessed that my hands. [Saheeh Muslim]
We turn to Allah in distress
Allah said regarding Dhun Nun (Lord of the Fish) when called upon Allah to remove his distress and Allah replied,
"We answered his call and delivered him from the distress. And thus we do deliver the believers." [Surah anbiyaa: 87, 88]
We turn to Allah when people try to harm us
"And you will remember what I am telling you, and I leave my affair with Allah, verily Allah is ever watchful over His slaves." [Surah Ghâfir: 44]
And after it Allah said:
"So Allah saved him from the evils that they plotted (against him), while an evil torment encompassed Fir'aun's people." [Surah Ghâfir: 45]


Sicknesses of the Heart

Surah Fatiha is a cure
It is also a cure when read over the sick. They are cured by the permission of Allah because the Prophet said to Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) after he read it over a person who had been bitten by a scorpion and was cured, How did you come to know that it is a cure?

The easy way out for those with sickness in their hearts is this: it is possible to turn back from being a hypocrite and this is stated in the Qur’an. But those with sickness in their hearts are already believers. Believers pray to Allah for the sickness in their hearts to go away. Believers have a prayer: “Our Lord, remove the sickness from our hearts.” Therefore having sickness in one’s heart is a situation that a Muslim can face and easily find a cure. He can avoid it by praying and holding onto causes.

                          Ten Sicknesses of the Heart

1. You believe in the existence of Allah Ta’aala, but you do not fulfill his commands.

2. You say you love the Holy Prophet Mohammed (Sallallaahu 'alaihi Wasallam), but you do not follow his Sunnah (i.e., his example).

3. You Read the Qur'an but you do not put it into practice.

4. You enjoy all the benefits from Allah Ta’aala, but you are not grateful to him.

5. You acknowledge Shaitan as your enemy, but you do not go against him.

6. You want to enter paradise, but you do not work for it.

7. You do not want to be thrown into hell-fire, but you do not try to get away (i.e., do good deeds).

8. You believe that every living-thing will face death, but you do not prepare for it.

9. You gossip and find faults in others, but you forgot your own faults and mistakes.

10. You bury the dead, but you do not take a lesson from it.

Read all or some of the Suras above and blow on your children husband, wife, and friends.

Allah will make it easy for all of us.

Repenting And Asking For Forgiveness

Allah, the Almighty, has said:
O Son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O Son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O Son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins as great as the earth, and were you then to face Me ascribing no partners to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.

It should not be forgotten that we, being human beings are prone to committing sins. Sinless are nobody in the universe

Allah (SWT) Most High says in Noble Qur'an, "Ask your Lord for forgiveness and then turn in repentance to Him..." (11:3)

Also Allah (SWT) Most High says in Noble Qur'an, "O you who believe! Turn (in repentance) to Allah with sincere repentance; Perhaps your Lord will remove your evil from you... “(66:8)

Tawba, (Tauba, Tobah) (repentance) is the regret and sadness which arise in the heart when remembering a sin. For the validity of the Tawba, (Tauba, Tobah) shunning the sin, firmly resolving to abstain from it in future and controlling the nafs when it urges for the sin, are necessary.

It should be noted that the Arabic word / Tawba, Tauba, Tobah /, which is generally understood as 'repentance', does not imply the mere utterance of any verbal prayers. It demands a real and active change in the behavior as well as the active attitude of the individual towards the purity of his/her life. It demands a moral conversion with a strong and definite determination on the part of the repenting individual, never again to return to the mistake or the wrong that had been committed before.

 In other words, the term / Tawba, Tauba, Tobah / 'repentance' is a word commonly used both for Allah and His servants. When it is used for the servants of Allah, it means that 'they have returned to their Lord', because any sinner, in fact, has abandoned his Lord, and when the servant repents, he/she returns to Him.

 When servants fail to obey their Lord, it seems that they cause Him, also, to turn away from them. When Allah is attributed with / Tawba, Tauba, Tobah /, it mean that He returns His Mercy and Favour to them.

"In ancient times there lived a man who sought to earn his livelihood and procure great wealth by lawful means but was unsuccessful. He then strived to achieve his objectives by unlawful means but once again failed.

Shaitan (Satan) appeared before him and said to him: "You tried to acquire great wealth by lawful as well as unlawful means but were unsuccessful. Do you want me to show you a way by which you would not only become wealthy but you would also attract numerous followers?"

The man expressed his willingness to know how he could get rich.

"Concoct a religion and invite people to follow it," suggested Shaitan (Satan).

The man fabricated a religion and soon, he had a lot of followers through whom he became rich.

One day he realized that he had made a mistake by leading numerous people astray so he resolved to inform the people of the falsity of his religion and the error of his ways. But however hard he stressed and emphasized, the people simply refused to accept his word.

"Your previous views were correct; have you become skeptical of your own religion now?" they asked. When he heard these words, he got some shackles and chained himself. He pledged that he would not unchain himself until Allah (SWT) accepted his repentance (Tawba and Istighfar).

Allah (SWT) revealed to the Prophet of the time to convey the following message to the person: "By My Honour! Even if you weep and supplicate to the extent that every ligament of your body falls apart, I shall never accept your repentance, till you inform those people who have died after having been led astray by you of the reality and they turn back from your religion."

How does Allah forgive us?

When we commit a sin, four witnesses are established against us.

a) The place we did the crime (i.e., scene of the murder).

"On that day, the earth will reveal all its secrets." (99:4)

b) The organ we used to commit the crime. "When their ears, their eyes, their skin will testify against them." (41:21)

"That day we seal up mouths, and hands speak out and feet bear witness to all that they did." (36:65)

c) The Angels who record the deeds (Kiraman Kati bin).

"The honored writers know what you do." (82:11)

d) "We record that which they send before them, and their footprints, and all things we have kept in a clear register." (36:12)

Now, with four such strong witnesses, how can we present ourselves to Allah? So He (the Al-Wakeel--the Defender), like a smart lawyer, removes all the witnesses against those whose repentance has been accepted, so that we present ourselves with a clean record. Case dissolved due to lack of witnesses. Hadith is like this. "When Allah accepts repentance and forgives His servant, then recording angels erase their records, organs lose their memories, and earth removes its stains of evidence so that when that person appears before Allah, there is no one to be a witness against him. (“Subhanallah”.)


Hadith Qudsi:
Prophet (SAW) has said:

A certain person had committed 99 murders. He went to a scholar and asked, is there any chance of my being forgiven? The scholar said no, you have committed too many crimes. The man killed the scholar too, but his heart was restless, so he went to another scholar and asked the same question. He was told yes, but you must leave this town of bad people and go live in the next town in the company of good people.

So the man set out to the town he was told to go to. On the way he died. A man passing by saw two angels arguing over his dead body. The Angel from Hell said, 'His body belongs to me as he had not done any good in his life.' The Angel from Heaven said, 'His body belongs to me as he had repented and was set out to be with good people.' The man who was the passer-by said, 'Let us measure the distance of his body from the town he left and the town he was going to.'

This was done. He was found to be nearer to the town he was going to. In another version, the earth was ordered by Allah to shrink and make the distance smaller, so that he was admitted to Heaven.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “If the believer commits a sin, a black spot appears on his heart. If he repents, gives it up and seeks forgiveness, his heart is cleansed, but if he does more then (that spot) increases until it covers his heart. That is the Raan (covering of sin) which Allah mentioned in the Qur’an:

“Nay”! But on their hearts is the Raan (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn”

[Al-Mutaffifen 83:14]


A person once heard a pious Muslim say that "For the last thirty years I am repenting for a sin and I don't know how Allah (SWT) will deal with me regarding it?"

The listener asked: "What was your sin?"

The pious Muslim said: "I used to have a shop in the Bazaar. One day I heard that the whole Bazaar was burning so I rushed to see my shop. When I reached there I saw that except my shop all the shops were razed to the ground. I said 'Al-Hamdu lillah' (All praise to Allah (SWT)); but immediately I realized my mistake. How can I call myself a Muslim when I couldn't feel the loss of my neighbors? That is why I am repenting (Tawba and Istighfar) for that lapse on my part for the last thirty years".

To seek pardon from Allah (SWT) is the instant remedy for every problem.
How to ask for forgiveness when Adam and Eve realized they had done wrong but did not know how to ask for forgiveness:

Then learnt Adam from his Lord words of forgiveness, and his Lord turned toward him, for He is Oft-Forgiving and Most Merciful. (2:37)

What were those words taught to Adam?

They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged our souls and if you forgive us not, and bestow not upon us your mercy, we shall be losers. (7:23)

How did the Prophet Muhammad (AS) teach Aisha (RA) to ask for forgiveness in Ramadan?

O my Lord, forgive me, because you love to forgive, thus forgive me, O you Merciful!

Remember, asking for forgiveness is not just for our sins, but also for our needs as well.

And I have said! Seek forgiveness from your Lord. Lo! He is oft-forgiving (if you ask for forgiveness). He will give you plenty of rain, He will give you wealth and sons, and assign you Heaven and Rivers in the Heaven. (Surah Nuh: 10-12)

Thus after repenting and asking for forgiveness, we must mend our ways and not go back to Kufr and fall prey to the tactics of Satan (Iblis) again. While we expect Allah to be kind and merciful and forgive our major and minor sins, we are unforgiving towards our fellow human beings!

The Noble Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "There are four signs of one who is repentant: (1) He is sincere to Allah (SWT) in his actions (2) He shuns falsehood (3) He is firmly attached to truth and (4) He is eager to do good."
May Allah help us to do that which He loves and which pleases Him?

And Allah knows best.

May Allah make our efforts sincere and keep us all on the straight path...........

The benefits of Ayat Al-Kursi

Verse 255 of Surah-e-Baqarah (chapter: The cow) in holy Quran is called Ayat Al-Kursi: “Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him or Sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as he permitted? He knoweth what (appeared to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend over the heavens and on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding and preserving them, For He is the Most High, The Supreme (in glory).”

The benefits of Ayat Al-Kursi are:

1. Holy prophet (SAW) said: whoever recites the first 4 ayahs of Sura Baqarah, then Ayatul Kursi and then the last 3 ayahs of Surah e Baqarah, will not be inflicted with any kind of difficulty in his wealth or himself, Satan will not come near him and he will not forget the Qur'an.

2. Holy Prophet (SAW) said: Qur'an is a great word, and Sura Baqarah is the leader of the Qur'an and Ayatul Kursi is the leader of Sura Baqarah. In Ayatul Kursi there are 50 words and for each word there are 50 blessings and good in it.

This ayat was revealed after Hijra. During its revelation it was accompanied by thousands of angels because of its greatness and glory.

Shaitan and Iblis became worried because there is an obstacle in their quest to mislead mankind. Rasulullah saw. Immediately ordered Zaid b Thabit to write it down and spread the message.

Ubayy bin Ka`b (radiyallaahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Abu Mundhir! Do you know which Ayah in Allah's Book is the greatest? I said: 'Allah and His messenger know best.'

He (peace be upon him) again said: 'Do you know which Ayah in Allah's Book, according to you, is the greatest?' I (Abu Mundhir) replied: ‘It is 'Allah la ilaha illaa Hu wal Hayyul Qayyum'. [2:255].

Thereupon he (peace be upon him) patted me in the chest and said, ' Rejoice by your knowledge, O Abu Mundhir! (i.e., may this knowledge be a source of respect, honour and benefit to you)'."

[Muslim]

Asma' bint Yazid (radiyallaahu anhu) reported, ' I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say about these two following Ayahs, i.e., verses: "Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. [2:255], and, Alif Lam Mim, Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal [3:1-2], that they contain Allah's Greatest Name."

[Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal in his Musnad]

Abu Umaamah Al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The one who recites it after each of the obligatory prayers, then death will be the only thing preventing him from entering Paradise."

[Ibn Sunni, Ibn Hibban]

Abu Dharr said; O Messenger of Allah, what is the greatest thing that has been revealed to you?’ He said, Ayat al-Kursi, 'Allah! La ilaha illaa Huwa'.

When you lie down in your bed, recite ayat al-Kursi, Allah! La ilaha ILA Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the ever living, and the One Who sustains and protects all that exists… [al-Baqarah 2:255] until the end of the ayah, then you will have a protector from Allah and no shaitans (devil) will come near you until morning comes

[Sahih al-Bukhari]

Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu anhu) narrated; In Surah al-Baqarah there is an ayah which is the best of all the ayahs of the Qur’an. It is never recited in a house but the Shaitan leaves: Ayat al-Kursi.

Everything has its pinnacle and the pinnacle of the Qur’an is Surah al-Baqarah. In it there is an ayah, which is one of the greatest in the Qur’an: Ayat al-Kursi

Do you know the Ayatul Kursi?" Anas (radiyallaahu anhu) replied "I know". The Prophet (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) said, "It is equal to a quarter of the Qur'an

The magnificence and special status of this verse makes the chapter it occurs in special too because the topic is about Allah's unity as well as Allah's nature and attributes. This makes the doctrine lofty and extremely important.

We should be on full guard in preserving and maintaining Allah's transcendence (tanzih) and sovereignty. In other words, we should be pondering about Tawhid and its implications. Do we for example do anything that might compromise Allah's sovereignty or are we engaging in anything that might border on or infringe upon His right to be Legislator or Lawgiver.

Pondering over Ayat al-Kursi should make us feel humbled before the Majesty and Glory of Allah SWT. It should remind us of the sheer insignificant standing we have in comparison to Him and how this alerts us to the unjustified character of our haughtiness, arrogance and pride in making ourselves the standard in all things whereas only He has the right to set standards.

Through Islam, you are going to have a much better understanding of Allah. You will be capable of identifying Him as well as His role in your life. Aside from that, you will also be capable of communicating with Him any time you choose. Islam also assists an individual to know their roots as well as the reason why they are on earth. This is because it provides great answers to different philosophical questions.

2. Loyalty to Allah

Due to the first benefit of Islam in which you have better knowledge of Allah, you allegiance, obedience and loyalty will be to Allah only. You will undeniably put all your trust in Allah and follow Him prior to following anyone else.

Witr Salah -most important daily prayer.

Which prayer is witr?

How is it prayed?

How many Rakaats?

Why we should pray Witr.

The reason why Imam Bukhari (ra) places the Book of Witr in his Saheeh after the Books of Jummah and Eid  but before other prayers because it is also an important prayer other than the five Fard prayers.

Witr Salah is the most important daily prayer other than the five daily prayers. Some ullama consider Witr Salah to be wajib but others call it an emphasized Sunnah, but they all consider it to be obligatory. It is performed after Isha Salah and although it seems very simple, it is very complicated and detailed in its components and structure. The ullama mention 20 major issues (masail) where there are points of difference. Hence, the Book of Witr is very complicated.

Witr is sometimes pronounced watr, as in Surah al Fajr:
Sunnah indicates

Witr prayer is one of the greatest acts of worship that would draw one closer to Allah SWT.

When: The Beginning Of Its Time Or Later Part Of The Night?

The Sunnah indicates that if a person thinks he will be able to get up at the end of the night, it is better to delay it, because prayer at the end of the night is better and is witnessed (by the angels). But whoever fears that he would not be able to get up at the end of the night, he should pray Witr before he goes to sleep, because of the hadith of Jabber (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

    “Whoever fears that he will not get up at the end of the night, let him pray Witr at the beginning of the night, but whoever thinks that he will be able to get up at the end of the night, let him pray Witr at the end of the night, for prayer at the end of the night is witnessed (by the angels) and that is better.” [By: Muslim, 755].

........ How many Rakaats?

Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) says that the witr Salah consists of three rakaats with only one salaam, whereas the other Imam’s (ra) i.e. Imam Shafie (ra), Imam Ahmed (ra), Imam Malik (ra) say that the witr Salah is between 1 to 7 rakaats.

Generally, they perform the witr by reading 2 rakaats with one salaam and then read another Rakat separately with one salaam.


However, it should be borne in mind that the most preferable/ desirable view according to Imam Malik (ra) is that witr consists of 3 rakaats and the 1 Rakat practice is not acted upon by him or his followers.

(Muwatta Malik p110)


The four Imam’s have their own proofs from hadith.
Witr prayer is one of the greatest acts of worship that would draw one closer to Allah SWT. It is the most highly regarded Sunnah [Sunnah Mu’akadah] and was enjoined by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in more than one hadith.

Some of the scholars view since it is one of the Sunnah Mu’akadah the Muslim should observe regularly and not to neglect it whether traveling or not, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to do.

Abu Sa’id (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

    “Perform Witr before morning comes.” [Muslim (754)]

‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

    “O people of the Qur’an, pray Witr, for Allah is one and loves that which is odd-numbered.”

Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:

    ”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was on a journey, atop his mount, whichever direction it was facing, gesturing the motions of the night prayer, except the obligatory prayer, and he prayed Witr atop his mount.” [Al-Bukhari (1000) and Muslim (700)]

Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

    Witr is not obligatory. This is the view of Malik and Al-Shafie.
Abu Hanifa said: it is obligatory. Then he said: Ahmad said: Whoever omits to pray Witr deliberately is a bad man, whose testimony should not be accepted. He wanted to emphasize that it is confirmed because of the hadith which say that it is enjoined and encouraged.

Note that there are several understandings derived from the hadiths that describe the method of the witr prayer by various scholars of the Islamic sciences.

The Hanafi understanding regarding the method of performing the witr in three rakaats with two sittings and one salaam is the preferred way to perform the witr prayer. This method of witr has been adopted from the practice of the Prophet (pbuh) found in various authentic hadiths. 

Witr in 3 Rakaats

Aisha (ra) states, "... (after Tahajjud prayers), the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) would perform the prayer (witr) in three rakaats." (Bukhari)

Abdullah ibn Abbas (ra) narrates, "... and thereafter he (pbuh) would perform the witr three rakaats." (Muslim)

Witr in 3 Rakaats with Only One Salaam

Sa’eed Ibn Zubair (ra) reports, "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) would recite in the witr prayer 'Sabbihis ma rabbikal Alaa' and in the second rak’ah 'Qul yaa ayah al Kafirun' and in the third rak’ah 'Qul hu WA Allahu Ahad' and he would not make salaam except at the end of them (three rakaats)" (Nasa’i)


Zurarah Ibn Auwfa (ra) narrates from SA’d Ibn Hisham (ra) that Aisha (ra) informed him that the Prophet (pbuh) would not make salaam after two rakaats of the witr prayer." Bukhari & Muslim. .)

Sa’d Ibn Hisham (ra) narrates from Aisha (ra), "When the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) would have performed Isha, he would enter the house and there after perform two rakaats and another two after them that were longer than the previous. There after, the Prophet (pbuh) would offer the witr prayer in three rakaats with no separation in the three rakaats." (Musnad Ahmed)

Anas Ibn Malik (ra) performed the witr prayer in three rakaats and only made salaam at the completion of the three rakaats. He than declared, "I learnt this from the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)". (Tahawi, Ilaa Al Sunan)

Anas Ibn Malik (ra) said, "O Abu Muhammad, take from me (the understanding of the deen), for indeed I have taken from the Prophet (pbuh) and the Prophet (pbuh) has taken from Allah. You will never find anyone more reliable than me". The narrator mentions, "After saying this, Anas (ra) performed six rakaats making the salaam at the end of every two rakaats. Thereafter he performed the witr prayer in three rakaats making salaam at the end of the three rakaats". (Ruyani, Ibn Asakir, Ilaa Al Sunan, and Kanz Al Ummal - This hadith reaches the status of Marfoo)

Miswar Ibn Makhramah (ra) says, "We were with Abu Bakr (ra) one evening when Omar (ra) exclaimed, "I have not performed the witr prayer". He stood up and we assembled in the lines of prayer behind him. He led the witr prayer for us in three rakaats and he did not make salaam in between them (the three rakaats) apart from the very last rak’ah". (Tahawi)

Abdullah Ibn Masood (ra) says, "The witr prayer is three rakaats like the witr of the day; Maghrib prayer". (Tahawi)

Abu Zinad (ra) narrates from the seven personalities; Sa’eed ibn Al Musayyib, Urwah Ibn Al Zubair, Qasim Ibn Muhammad, Abu Bakr Ibn Abd Al Rahman, Kharijah Ibn Zaid, Ubaid Allah Ibn Abdullah, and Suleiman Ibn Yasar (may Allah be pleased with all of them) amongst many leaders of jurisprudence, righteousness, and rectification. When ever this group would have a difference amongst them, in a matter, they would take the opinion of the majority and the most upright. From amongst that which I had carefully preserved from all of them, according to this description, was that the witr prayer is three rakaats and one is not to make salaam except at the end of the three rakaats. (Tahawi)

Umar Ibn Abd Al Aziz (ra) had established the witr prayer in Madinah according to the opinion of the learned jurists as three rakah’s, with no salaam except at the completion of the three rak’ah. (Tahawi, Aathaar Al Sunan)

Ubayy Ibn Ka`b said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite in Witr Sabbih isma ra bika al-‘alaa (“Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High” – Surah Al-Alaa, 87), Qul yaa ayyuha’l-kaafirun (“Say: O Disbeliever…” – Surah al-Kafirun, 109) and Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad (“Say: He is Allah, the One” – Surah Al-Ikhlas, 112).

 “O people of the Qur’an, pray Witr, for Allah is one and loves that which is odd-numbered.”


"When my heart became constricted and my paths became narrow - I took my hope in Your pardon and forgiveness as an opening and an escape - My sins seemed very great to me but when I compared them to Your forgiveness My Lord, I found Your forgiveness to be greater" - Imam Shafi' (ra).

All sins committed before coming to Islam are forgiven

Call to Islam .
Why Be A Muslim.

I  Seek refuge in Allah from knowledge that brings no wisdom, from a heart that lack kindness, from desires that bring discontent, and from supplications that go unanswered. -  Messenger of Allah May Allah's peace and blessings be on him.

  It's not true that you'll lose your culture. Lots of people misunderstand this. In the West, it is thought that when somebody becomes a Muslim, he becomes an Arab too.
This confusion is only brought up by narrow minded people who don't understand. Allah has made us too many races, many cultures and many languages too. It is one of the beauties of the many creations of Allah that we have our own culture and we should appreciate it.

* Islam does not conflict with man's intellect and natural disposition.

    You don't have to worry about that. The Arabic language has been chosen as the International language for Muslims. The original form of the Quran to the humans on this earth is Arabic. So, we need to learn it in order to understand and appreciate it. Allah chose an Arab leader, our beloved prophet Mohammed SAW to begin the mission or conveying the message of Islam to mankind. Perhaps, it's because the Arabs are hard headed people and Allah wanted to improve them. If you notice, Moses and Jesus' mission was to spread the religion to the Israelites. Islam at that time was in a different form and name and therefore, it was incomplete. It was only during the prophet's time where Allah announced that on that very day, Allah has completed the religion for mankind

Similarly, we shouldn't be selfish of our own culture. We should share it between our Muslim brothers and sisters. Islam is a religion, not a race. An English parent would give birth to an English child, but a Muslim parent might not give birth to a Muslim child. 

* Allah says:

"This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion" [Quran 5:3)

Allah gave this favour to the whole of humanity. Therefore any one can become a Muslim no matter what his/her race, language or colour is. No matter whether they are single, married, divorced or a child.


All sins committed before coming to Islam are forgiven. No matter how bad they were. They are forgiven. One who converts to Islam is totally reborn and starts with a clean record.

It is the last Divine Religion revealed to man.
  
 Islam recognizes previous divine revelations. On the other hand, Jews do not recognize Jesus, and the Christians do not recognize Muhammad; whereas, Muslims recognize Moses and Jesus, may Allah exalt their mention
  
 In Islam humans relates with their Lord in all matters and conditions.
  
  Islam is the only Religion which has not been distorted or changed.
   
 Harry G. Dorman said:
      'It (the Quran) is literal Revelation of God, dictated to Muhammad by Gabriel, perfect in every letter. It is an ever-present miracle witnessing to itself and to Muhammad, the Prophet of God. Its miraculous quality resides partly in its style, so perfect and lofty that neither man nor jinn could produce a single chapter to compare with its briefest chapter, and partly in its content of teachings, prophecies about the future, and amazingly accurate information such as the illiterate Muhammad could never have gathered of his own accord.'34
  
 Islam is the Religion which covers the material and spiritual aspects of life. It did not neglect even the slightest of things in a Muslim's life. Abdurrahman b. Zaid said that it was said to Salman:
      'Your Prophet has taught you everything, even how to relieve yourselves? Salman said: 'Of course, he forbade us to face the direction of the Qiblah while defecating or urinating, or to clean oneself with his right hand, or to use less than three stones, or to use bone or dung (to clean oneself).' (Muslim)
   
 W. Thomas Arnold said: 'Sense of justice is one of the most wonderful ideals of Islam, because as I read in the Quran I find those dynamic principles of life, not mystic but practical ethics for the daily conduct of life suited to the whole world.'
   
Islam satisfies the man's bodily and spiritual needs in equilibrium. It refuses that one aspect be given precedence over the other.

      Prince Charles said:
 'Islam can teach us today a way of understanding and living in the world which Christianity itself is poorer for having lost. Islam refuses to separate man and nature, religion and science, mind and matter.'
 
  Translations of the Quran and other Islamic books can be found in abundance all over the world.

      Islam is the Religion for humankind at large, regardless of their education, time and place which, in contrast to previous religions were sent to a specific people during a specific time. For example, if a person wants to become a Jew, he has to be born a Jew. Jesus said about Christianity: 'I was sent to the lost sheep of the Children of Israel.'

Quran written with gold
This copy of the Quran written with liquid gold on papyrus proves the Muslims concern for preserving the Quran.

One of the proofs that Islam is a universal religion and that it is fit for all people at all times, regardless of their race or language it is the word of God:

'O you who covers himself with a garment! Arise and warn. And your Lord glorify.' (74:1-3)

In these verses God commands His Prophet to openly call to Islam, so he called his people to worship God alone, and to cast aside all false deities. He was harmed by his people, yet he remained steadfast and merciful, he sent letters to the Kings of his time and invited them to accept Islam. Among those whom he wrote to were the Emperor of Rome, the Emperor of Persia, and the King of Abyssinia. If the message of Prophet Muhammad was not a universal one, he would not have invited the rulers of different kingdoms close to Arabia to accept Islam!

This would possibly open more than one front with adversaries who were well equipped and great in number. Why would he venture to do something like this, if it were not but a divine Message from God, which he was ordered to convey to mankind at large!

Letter to the Negus, King of Abyssinia
Translation: From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, To the Negus, King of Abyssinia. Peace be upon him who follows the Guidance. I am grateful to Allah, there is no god but Him, and I bear witness that Jesus son of Mary was no more than a spirit created by Him, and His word (“Be”!  - and he was) which He bestowed on Mary, the Virgin, the good, the pure, so that she conceived Jesus. Allah created Him as He created Adam by His Hand. I call you to worship Allah Alone, and not to associate any partner with Him and (I call you) to His obedience and to follow me and to believe in that which was revealed to me, for I am the Messenger of Allah. I invite you and your men to Allah, the Exalted. I bear witness that I have communicated my message. I invite you to listen and accept my advice. Peace be upon him who follows true guidance.

The Messenger of God said: 'This matter (i.e. the religion of Islam) will become apparent as night and day. Every person in a city or desert area will come to know of this religion, by means of might or disgrace. Might by which Islam is honored and disgrace by which God disgraces disbelief.' (Ahmed)

Letter to Heracles the Emperor of Rome
Translation: I begin with the name of Allah, the Compassionate, and the most Merciful. From Muhammad b. Abdullah the Messenger of God, to Heracles the Emperor of Rome (He was the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire [610-641] who captured Syria, Palestine, and Egypt from Persia [613-628] ). Peace be upon him who follows the guidance. I call you to Islam. Accept Islam and you will be safe. God will give you your reward double-fold. If you forsake the message of God, you will carry the sin of all your followers. (Say: "O People of the Book! Come to common terms between us and you: that we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah. If then they turn back, say you: 'Bear witness that we are Muslims (submitting to Allah's Will).) (3:64)

Translation: I begin with the name of Allah, the Compassionate, and the most Merciful. Letter From Muhammad b. Abdullah the Messenger of God to Moqoqas the Ruler of the Christians in Egypt. Peace be upon him who follows the guidance. I call you to Islam. Accept Islam and you will be safe. God will give you your reward double-fold. If you forsake the message of God, you will carry the sin of all your followers. (Say: "O People of the Book! Come to common terms between us and you: that we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah. If then they turn back, say you: 'Bear witness that we are Muslims (submitting to Allah's Will).) (3:64)

We must not be afraid to change whatever we have done wrong. Allah is merciful. He forgives as long as you sincerely repent and make sure never to repeat the same mistakes again. Allah won't punish somebody who realizes that he has done wrong about something and decides to return to the true path.

This problem usually happens to people with high status, especially teachers of religious schools. Some of them think that if they suddenly tell people that they have done wrong, and tell them the correct thing, people will look down at them, and will ask them what they have been doing all the time.

I call you to Islam. Accept Islam and you will be safe.Go on Think about it my friend, Why Islam? .



May Allah make our efforts sincere and keep us all on the straight path...........
