Advice to One Who Feels Irredeemable After Major Sins

﷽

Did you know, sister? The Muslim is not allowed to despair in the mercy of Allah.

Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people.

—Qur'an (Yusuf) 12:87

As for suicide, you are correct. This is categorically forbidden.

And do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction.

—Qur'an (al-Baqarah) 2:195

So glad tidings to the believers, who know they have a merciful Lord who forgives them! :)

Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

—Qu'ran (az-Zumar) 39:53

I was listening to a lecture by a student of knowledge not too long ago and he mentioned something that I found amazing, regarding the devil's deception:

He is the one who, when it's time to commit a sin, whispers to you, "It's okay—we'll just repent for it later!"

However, once you've committed the sin, he pulls a pikachu face and makes you think, "Oh no, what have I done?! How will Allah ever forgive me for this disgusting act of transgression I've committed?! I can never be forgiven!"

And so in this way, he traps you into a mindset that ensures you will never turn to Allah and be forgiven, because you don't ask for it. SO many ayat and ahadith explain to us how Allah is only waiting for his slaves to turn to him. That is the only delay. Forgiveness is assured, the hold up is just in our turning to Allah.

And don't think for a second you're the only one who has gone through what you're going through, or sinned as you have. Indeed it is in human nature to sin, and the sins of desires are the easiest of all for us, because of the inclinations inherent in each of us.

With that said, just turn to Allah. :) It doesn't matter how ashamed you feel—in fact, it's good to feel regret since that helps to fuel a sincere repentance. But what makes you delay in seeking forgiveness? Do you think Allah doesn't already know what you've done? Of course he does. So repent to Him and show your sincerity in coming to the right path.

And this isn’t really me, I just feel that way because I feel so impure.

It is okay to feel regret; it is not okay to despair, or to feel that your mistakes define who you are. They do not.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “The adulterer is not a believer while he is committing adultery. The drinker of wine is not a believer while he is drinking wine. The thief is not a believer while he is stealing. The plunderer is not a believer while he is plundering and the people are looking to him.”

In another narration, the Prophet said, “And he is not a believer while he is killing.”

—Sahih al-Bukhari 2343, Sahih Muslim 57

I'm sharing this to draw your attention to the wording of the hadith, specifically (which I've emphasized for your benefit). While you were sinning, you may have been impure, yes, but you are not currently sinning, alhamdulillah. You are begging Allah for forgiveness, and this is something the believer does and the believer is pure.

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "All of the children of Adam are sinners, and the best sinners are those who repent."

—Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2499

So the condition of the believer is like that.

It’s gotten to the point where salah isn’t even helping.

Another trick of the Shaiytaan. He hopes to distract you and cause you enough hopelessness that you turn away from Salah, which would be a greater sin than the one you're discussing in this post.

Let me repeat that: LEAVING OFF SALAH IS A GREATER SIN THAN ZINA.

'Abdullah bin Buraidah narrated that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is prayer; so whoever leaves it, he has committed Kufr.'"

—Sunan Ibn Majah 1079

Salah will help 100%, you just have to keep at it so Shaiytaan can see that his antics aren't working. Who is more truthful? Shaiytaan, the consummate liar and enemy of the believers, or Allah, The Most High?

"Verily, Salah restrains (oneself) from shameful and unjust deeds…"

—Qur'an (al-'Ankabut) 29:45

You went on to mention:

I just feel like I’ve failed as a Muslim and I’ve failed in life.

As mentioned above, the Muslim is the one who turns to Allah again and again. So do that. You are not your past. You are what you do about it. So turn to Allah and He will forgive you. We have countless ahadith and ayat about Allah forgiving MUCH worse than what you've done.

Even to Fir'aun, who is among the worst of the people in all of creation, who will be in the depths of the Hellfire, Allah sent his noble prophet Musa (alayhisalaam)—to do what?

"And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allah]."

—Qur'an (Taha) 20:44

Subhanallah, a great Prophet was sent to Fir'aun so that he might repent for his sin of associating himself as a partner with Allah. And if Fir'aun had not been arrogant and accepted the message, begging Allah for forgiveness, Allah would have forgiven even him!

So give yourself a little perspective. It is not the end of the world. Yes, it's a major sin and you fell into it. Many, many, many people do. Upon us is to turn to Allah and ask for forgiveness with a sincere heart, to not return to the sin, and to busy ourselves with goodness instead.

And Allah knows best.

The Divine Mercy: Exploring Forgiveness in the Qur'an

• "But if you pardon, overlook, and forgive—their reward is with Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who do good."

(Surah Ash-Shura 42:40)

• "Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."

(Surah Az-Zumar 39:53)

• "And let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."

(Surah An-Nur 24:22)

• "Take what is given freely, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant."

(Surah Al-A'raf 7:199)

• "And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins—and who can forgive sins except Allah? And [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know."

(Surah Aal-E-Imran 3:135)

[diksibising]

Iman artinya yakin atau percaya kepada hari akhir hari pembalasan, dan Inilah ciri-ciri orang yang beriman dan yang tidak beriman.

Yang pertama ciri orang yang beriman ialah mereka yang ketika di ajak ngobrol tentang Allah mengenai Islam hatinya akan bergetar merespon atau sefrekuensi tertarik, dan apalagi di kasih taukan ayat Qur'annya akan menambah kuat imannya, dan menambah kuat yakinnya. Sehingga dirinya akan senantiasa tetap bertawakal hanya kepada Allah SWT dalam kondisi apapun itu.

اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَاِ ذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُهٗ زَا دَتْهُمْ اِيْمَا نًا وَّعَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُوْنَ 

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang beriman adalah mereka yang apabila disebut nama Allah gemetar hatinya, dan apabila dibacakan ayat-ayat-Nya kepada mereka, bertambah (kuat) imannya dan hanya kepada Tuhan mereka bertawakal,"(QS. Al-Anfal 8: Ayat 2)

Yang kedua ciri orang yang tidak beriman ialah mereka yang tidak mengimani atau menyakini kepada hari akhir hari pembalasan. Dan disaat di ajak ngobrol tentang Allah mengenai Islam atau Qur'an, membuat hatinya menjadi kesal, ngga merespon ngga tertarik bahkan ngantuk. Dan apabila ngobrolin sesembahannya yang disebut kesukaannya atau hobinya hatinya spontan akan berubah merasa sangat senang, gembira dan tertarik merespon nya.

وَاِ ذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ اشْمَاَ زَّتْ قُلُوْبُ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِا لْاٰ خِرَةِ  ۚ وَاِ ذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُوْنَ

"Dan apabila yang disebut hanya nama Allah, kesal sekali hati orang-orang yang tidak beriman kepada akhirat. Namun apabila nama-nama sembahan selain Allah yang disebut, tiba-tiba mereka menjadi bergembira."

(QS. Az-Zumar 39: Ayat 45)

Disini kita akan mengetahui jawabannya masing-masing, karena yang mengetahui hanya diri kita dan Allah.

"Keutamaan SAYYIDUL ISTIGHFAR"

عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: سَيِّدُ الْاِسْتِغْفارِ أَنْ يَقُوْلَ الْعَبْدُ : اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّيْ ، لَا إِلٰـهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِيْ وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ ، أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ ، أَبُوْءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمتِكَ عَلَيَّ ، وَأَبُوْءُ بِذَنْبِيْ فَاغْفِرْ لِيْ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ مَنْ قَالَهَا مِنَ النَّهَارِ مُوْقِنًا بِهَا ، فَمَـاتَ مِنْ يوْمِهِ قَبْل أَنْ يُمْسِيَ ، فَهُو مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ، وَمَنْ قَالَهَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَهُوَ مُوْقِنٌ بِهَا فَمَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ ، فَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ . (رواه البخاري و الأداب المفرد)

Artinya :

_Dari  Syaddad bin Aus Radhiyallahu 'Anhu dari Nabi Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam, *“Sesungguhnya Istighfâr yang paling baik adalah seseorang hamba mengucapkan: (Ya Allâh, Engkau adalah Rabbku, tidak ada Ilah yang berhak diibadahi dengan benar selain Engkau. Engkau yang menciptakan aku dan aku adalah hamba-Mu. Aku menetapi perjanjian-Mu dan janji-Mu sesuai dengan kemampuanku. Aku berlindung kepada-Mu dari keburukan perbuatanku, aku mengakui nikmat-Mu kepadaku dan aku mengakui dosaku kepada-Mu, maka ampunilah aku. Sebab tidak ada yang dapat mengampuni dosa selain Engkau).* (Beliau ﷺ bersabda) *“Barangsiapa mengucapkannya di waktu siang dengan penuh keyakinan lalu meninggal pada hari itu sebelum waktu sore, maka ia termasuk penghuni Surga. Barangsiapa membacanya di waktu malam dengan penuh keyakinan lalu meninggal sebelum masuk waktu pagi, maka ia termasuk penghuni Surga."*_

(HR. Imam al-Bukhari dalam shahîhnya no. 6306, 6323 dan al-Adabul Mufrad no. 617, 620)

*PELAJARAN YANG TERDAPAT PADA HADITS DI ATAS :*

1. Setiap bani Adam itu pasti banyak berbuat dosa, namun yang terbaik dari orang yang berbuat dosa yaitu yang memohon ampun kepada Allah SWT. dan bertaubat. Allah SWT. memerintahkan hamba-Nya untuk selalu memohon ampun dan bertaubat kepada-Nya.

2. Nabi Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam menamakan lafazh istighfar ini dengan Sayyidul Istighfar karena terkandung dalam hadits ini makna taubat dan merendahkan diri di hadapan Allah SWT., yang tidak terdapat dalam hadits-hadits taubat lainnya.

3. Imam ath-Thibiy rahimahullah berkata,

_*“Karena do’a ini mengandung makna-makna taubat secara menyeluruh maka dipakailah istilah sayyid, yang pada asalnya, sayyid itu artinya induk atau pimpinan yang dituju dalam semua keperluan dan semua urusan kembali kepadanya.”*_

(Bahjatun Nâzhirîn Syarah Riyadus Shalihin, Syaikh Salim al-Hilali)

4. Rasûlullâh Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam mengumpulkan dalam  hadits ini makna-makna yang indah dan lafazh-lafazh yang bagus sehingga pantas untuk dinamakan Sayyidul Istighfâr.

5. Barangsiapa mengucapkan Sayyidul Istighfar di waktu siang dengan penuh keyakinan lalu meninggal pada hari itu sebelum waktu sore, maka ia termasuk penghuni Surga.

Barangsiapa membacanya di waktu malam dengan penuh keyakinan lalu meninggal sebelum masuk waktu pagi, maka ia termasuk penghuni Surga.

*TEMA HADITS YANG BERKAITAN DENGAN AYAT AL-QUR'AN :*

1. Allâh SWT.-pun berjanji akan mengampuni orang-orang yang meminta ampun dan bertaubat kepada-Nya;

١- وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَىٰ ۞

_*"Dan sungguh, Aku Maha Pengampun bagi yang bertaubat, beriman dan berbuat kebajikan, kemudian tetap dalam petunjuk."*_

(QS. Thâha/20: 82)

٢- قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ ۞

_Katakanlah, *“Wahai hamba-hamba-Ku yang melampaui batas terhadap diri mereka sendiri! Janganlah kamu berputus asa dari rahmat Allâh. Sesungguhnya Allâh mengampuni dosa-dosa semuanya. Sungguh, Dialah Yang Maha Pengampun, Maha Penyayang.”*_

(QS. Az-Zumar/39: 53)

2. Allah SWT. memerintahkan kepada kita untuk banyak beristighfâr/meminta ampun kepada-Nya.

Begitu pula Allâh memerintahkan Nabi Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam untuk beristighfar;

وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ۞

CONGRATULATIONS! 

A MIRACLE HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. BY THE GRACE OF ALLAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA), CAPTAIN IMRAN KHAN AND HIS TEAM HAVE WON, WITH FULL SUPPORT FROM MILLIONS OF SELFLESS, DEDICATED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN, WHO ARE DEVOTED TO HIS MISSION IN LIFE, ALL OVER PAKISTAN AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

All Praises are due to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) Alone. Al-Hamdo lillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen الحمدللہربالعالمین. May Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) bless them all, one and all, young and old, men, women and children, Ameen آمین, and reward all of them with the best of everything in both the words, Thumma Ameen 

Bravo to Captain Imran Khan and his team, who worked hard with commitment and Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) and with sheer faith in Allah  (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), Laa ilaaha illAllah لا الا الله, a commitment to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), and a sincere promise not to beg from anyone else and bow to anyone but God Almighty, Iyyaka wa iyyaka nast’aeen  إياكنعبدوإياكنستعين.

God loves those who are steadfast” – Holy Qur'an Surah Al-e-‘Imran, 3, Ayah 146)

Say: "O My slaves who believe, be afraid of your Lord (Allah) and keep your duty to Him. Good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world, and Allah's earth is spacious! Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without reckoning.” Surah Az-Zumar, 39, Ayah 10.

Because of Yaqeen Muhkam یقیں محکم , ’Amal Paiham  عمل پیہم, and Muhabbat محبت  for the world, he has won the hearts of Muslim children, women and old people all over the world as their beloved leader. Thanks to Allah, the only ONE, Who gave victory to H.E. Imran Khan and his team of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) پاکستان تحریک انصاف.   

God Almighty proved beyond a shadow of doubt that if you obey Me, have faith in Me, and trust Me, I will keep you steadfast and remove any obstacle in your marathon run of thirty (30) years to victory both as a good Captain and as a Leader, who can prove to the whole world that he is a unique and one of a kind LEADER par excellence of the Islamic World, In shaa Allah!

The good news for the whole world of Islam is the Imran Khan is going to come back soon as the New Prime Minister of New Pakistan نیا پاکستان, a new Raisat-e-Madinah  نئی ریاست مدینہ , In shaa Allah. 

It is his second coming to help the helpless, the needy, and the poor people of New Pakistan to get out of poverty and lead a decent life in the New Islamic Republic of Pakistan, just like in any other developed country anywhere in the world. It is just the beginning of a new coming and you haven't seen nothing yet.

Allahu (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) is going to make him the nex Prime Minister, again, like he did before. The people of Makkah challenged Prophet Muhammad (SallAlllahu ‘alaihi wa Salllam) that how will Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) raise them again while they were be nothing but bones in the grave, Surah al-Qiyamah, 75, Ayaat 1-5.

So the answerv given to Meccans by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) was:

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَ, I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ, And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُ, Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَه, Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

Please pray two Rak’at رکعات of Salatu Hajah صلواة الحاجه  on behalf of Imran Khan begging Allah (Subhanah wa Ta’ala) to give courage, wisdom and strength to Imran Khan to fulfill his promises that he made to Allah (Subhanah wa Ta’ala) in the Holy Ka’bah خانہ کعبہ in Makkah Mukarramah مکہ مکرمه , and to Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) in his Hujrah Mubarak حجرہ مبارک in Masjid-e-Nabwi مسجد نبوى, Madinah Munawwarah مدینہ منورہ.

As to the government officials in opposition to him, who want to get rid of him because they are jealous of his wonderful achievements inall fields of life,both here and abroad.. They badly want what the Almighty has given him, but God Almighty has written curses in their fate. They are reaping what they sowed in last thirty (30) years. May God Almighty show them the light, Ameen, and make them also good Muslims, Thumma Ameen.

Last but least, please go to the Imam امام (Khateeb خطیب) of your Mosque (Masjid) on this coming Friday and request him to pray to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) for his health, happiness and prosperity, Ameen,  and grant him the courage, the wisdom, the strength and Taufiq توفیق  to be the Best Prime Minister of Pakistan for all times to come, Ameen Thumma Ameen Yaa Rabbil ‘aalameen آمین ثم آمین یا رب العالمین.

🍃🕊🍃 Relationship between Allah and His Creation

We were talking as to which word the word 'ism' in 'bismillah' is connected. In this regard there are several possibilities as I have mentioned.

🍃 The Creator and the Created

We cannot understand certain questions in this regard unless we know what sort of relationship there exists between Allah and the creation. We talk about this relationship either parrot-like and repeat some set words, or occasionally in addition to that advance some arguments also. A stage higher than this is the privilege of some other people.

Anyhow the relationship between Allah and the creation is not of the sort that exists, for example, between father and son, that is between two things existing independently but related to each other. The sun and its rays are an example of a closer relationship. In this case also the sun and its rays are two different things, each having a separate existence to some extent. Man and his mental and physical faculties are an example of another kind of relationship.

Even in this case man and his faculties are not identical, though they are closely related. Unlike all these examples, the relationship between the existing things and Allah, Who is the source of their existence, is of quite a different kind and cannot be compared to any of the relationships mentioned above. At several places in the Qur'an and the traditions the relationship between Allah and His creation has been described as Allah's glory. The Qur'an says:

When his Lord revealed His glory to the mountain. (Surah al-A'raf, 7:143).

There is a sentence in the Samat Supplication which says:

'By the light of Your glory You revealed to the mountain and thus sent it down crashing…’

At another place the Qur'an says:

Allah takes away the souls at the times of their death. (Surah az-Zumar, 39:42)

while it is known that taking away the souls is the job of the Death Angel. If somebody kills a person, in that case also it is said that he has put him to death. At another place the Qur'an says:

You did not throw when you threw (the pebbles), but Allah threw. (Surah al-Anfal, 8:17)

All this is the description of a light and a glory. If we ponder over this concept, certain questions occur to our mind.

🍃 Meanings of Al-Hamd

We said earlier that the first possibility about the definite article in al-Hamdu is that it might be denoting comprehensiveness. In that case hamd (praise) would mean all praises, and the word 'hamd' as well as the word, 'ism' will have a sense of multitude. From this point of view 'al-hamdu lillahi' would mean that every praise that is made is that of Allah, for it is always the praise of some aspect of His manifestation or glory.

The sun manifests itself in its rays. Man is manifested in his seeing and hearing faculties. Allah manifests Himself far more clearly in every creation of His. Therefore, when anything is praised actually a manifestation of Allah's glory is praised.

As all the existing things are the signs of Allah, they are His names. According to the second possibility we mentioned, the meaning would be diametrically different, and 'al-hamdu lillahi' would signify that no praise made by any praiser was that of Allah, although in this case also His glory is revealed in all the objects which are praised. But our praise cannot be absolute, nor are we capable of praising the Absolute Being.

Anyhow, as all pluralities are lost and absorbed in the unity of the Absolute Being, it may be said that from one angle even in this case it is the Absolute Being that is praised. The only difference is of the angle from which you look at this issue. If you look at it from the angle of plurality, then every praise would be that of Allah, every existing thing would be His name and every name would be different from other names.

According to this possibility the meaning of bismillah will be different from its meaning according to the other possibility. The main feature of this possibility is that a sense of numerousness is implied in the conception of 'ism' or name. Allah is the name in which the stage of multitude and detail is taken into consideration. This name is the 'Exalted Name' in which Allah's glory is revealed.

🍃 Divine Glory in Everything

The glory of Allah's Exalted Name is revealed in everything. Allah's name Rahman (Beneficent) is the reflection of His beneficence in the state of action and His name Rahim (Merciful) is the reflection of His mercy in the state of action. The same applies to 'rabbil 'alamin' (Lord of the Universe), 'iyyaka na'budu' (You we worship) etc.

According to the second possibility, hamd (praise) in 'al-hamdu lillah' signifies absolute and unqualified praise. In this case the conception of Allah, Rahman and Rahim will also be a little different. According to the first possibility 'ism' (name) means every existing thing with reference to its function.

In other words, as the function of anything changes, it becomes a different ‘ism’ or name. But according to the second possibility 'hamd' in 'al-hamdu lillah' signifies unqualified and absolute ‘hamd’ with the names of Allah, Rahman and Rahim.

Allah alone can perform such a ‘hamd’ or praise and He does so with a name that is the name of the manifestation of His glory at the stage of self. In other words, He praises Himself with some of His names at this stage. Allah is the comprehensive name at the stage of self, not at the stage of manifestation.

Allah's every name at this stage is His glory. Rahman (Munificent) is the name of His munificence at the stage of self. Rahim (Merciful) is the name of His mercy at the stage of self. The same is the case with such other names as Rab (Sustainer) etc.

These conceptions can be proved by means of higher philosophy which is different from commonly known ordinary philosophy. But the case of the holy men, the friends of Allah is quite different. They have perceived and grasped these things by traversing the stages of spiritual journey.

🍃 Prophet’s, Observations and Experiences

The holy men cannot tell others what they see. Even in the Holy Qur'an many sublime truths have been mentioned in a simplified and diluted form so that they may be communicated even to the ordinary people not yet free from their low and base desires.

In this respect the hands of the Holy Prophet himself were tied. He was not allowed to explain the truths to the people in clear terms and therefore he stated the truths in a weakened form. The Qur'an has many degrees of meanings and has been revealed in 70 or 70,000 layers.

Having been reduced in intensity in each layer it has come to us in a form which we may be able to understand with our limited intellect. Telling us about Himself Allah says:

Will they not regard the camels how they have been created? (Surah al-Ghashiya, 88:17)

It is our bad luck that while describing lower creations like sun, sky, earth and man, the Prophets felt that there was a knot in their tongue and that they could not express the truth in clear words:

O my Lord! Open my chest for me; make the matter easy and untie the knot in my tongue. (Surah Taha, 20:25)

Other Prophets also had knots in their tongues as well as their hearts, and for that reason they could not express the truths exactly as they perceived them. They tried to a certain extent explain them to us through examples and illustrations.

When an example of camel is used to explain to us the existence of Allah, it should not be difficult to understand where we stand. In fact we are no better than animals, and as such the knowledge we can obtain must be very defective. As for the Prophets the Qur'an says at one place:

And when his Lord revealed His glory to the mountain, He sent it crashing down. And Moses fell down senseless (Surah al-A'raf, 7:143).

When Allah imparted special spiritual training to Moses he said to Allah: 'My lord, let me see you.' Obviously an eminent Prophet cannot ask for seeing Allah with his physical eyes. Therefore his request must have been for a kind of seeing appropriate to the seer and the object to be seen. But even this kind of seeing was not possible, Moses said to Allah: 'My Lord! Let me see you.' The answer was: 'you will not see Me.' Allah further said: 'But gaze upon the mountain.’

What is meant by the mountain here? Does it signify Mount Sinai? Was it that the glory that could not be revealed to Moses, could be revealed to this mountain? If some other people had been present at the Mount Sinai at that time, could they also see the revelation of Allah's glory? The sentence, 'Gaze upon the mountain' implies a promise. Allah said:

'You cannot see Me. But gaze upon the mountain. If it stands still in its place, then you will see Me.' (Surah al-A'raf, 7:143)

There is a possibility that the mountain here might have meant the remnant of egoism still left in Moses. As the result of the revelation of glory the mountain was smashed. In other words egoism of Moses was completely done away with. 'And Moses fell down senseless.' That means that Moses reached the stage of completely passing away of his human attributes.

What happened to Moses is a story for us, but for the Prophets it is an experience. This experience has been narrated to us in the form of a story because we are not yet free from egoism. The mention of the mountain or the Mount Sinai is only for our sake.

🍃 Meaning of Glory

People like us think that the glory revealed to Prophet Moses was a light seen by him. It might have been seen by others too. What a novel idea! As if it was a light that could be seen by everybody. Jibra'il (Gabriel), - the Holy Ghost used to recite the Qur'an before the Holy Prophet. Could others hear him? We do not have the slightest idea of the reality and our knowledge is confined to hearsay.

The Prophets can be compared to a person who saw a dream or witnessed something, but is unable to describe what he saw and others are also not fit to understand what he says. The same is the case with the Prophets. Neither they can describe what they see, nor can we understand what they say.

No doubt the Prophets have said something, but we can understand only that which is comprehensible to us. The Qur'an contains everything. It has the rules of law as well as the stories, to the underlying idea of which we do not have access, but we can understand what they apparently mean.

There are certain things in the Qur'an by which everybody can be benefited to some extent, but in the real sense the Holy Qur'an could be understood only by him to whom it was addressed. Of course those Holy men, who were both trained and instructed by the Holy Prophet direct or later imbibed his teachings, also understand the Qur'an.

Through the Holy Ghost the Qur'an was revealed to the heart of the Holy Prophet. The Qur'an itself says:

The Holy Ghost descended with it on your heart (Surah ash-Shu'ra, 26:193)

The Qur'an was revealed many a time and each time it was revealed in a more diluted form. The Qur'an says:

We revealed it on the Night of Power. (Surah al-Qadr, 97:1).

On each Night of Power the same glory is revealed, but on a reduced scale.

In short the Qur'an was revealed to the heart of the Holy Prophet many a time. It was revealed in stages, grades and layers till it finally assumed the form of words.

🍃 Nature of the Quran

The Holy Quran is not a collection of words, nor is it a thing that could be seen, heard or expressed in words. Nor is it a mode or a quality. It has been accorded an easy form for the benefit of us, who could neither hear it nor see it. Those who were really benefited by the Quran, were trained on different lines.

Their method of deriving benefit from the Quran was quite different. They had a special way of attending to the source from which the Quran has emerged. Glory of Allah is revealed from the hidden world and reaches the physical world after having been reduced gradually in intensity.

As there is a vast difference between the various grades of the hidden world and the corresponding grades of the physical world, similarly there is a vast difference between our perception and the perception of those who are superior to us and then between their perception and the perception of those who are still higher.

The Prophets and the Imams enjoy the highest grade of perception. Only they can have that divine glory revealed to them which was witnessed by Prophet Musa and which is mentioned in the Quran when it says:

When his Lord revealed His glory to the mountain. ..(7:143) This even has been hinted at in the Samat Supplication also. The Quran says:

…a voice was heard saying: 'Moses, surely I am [Allah] your Lord…(20:11-12)

Each of these things is perfectly all right in itself. As for the question what should we do if we want to learn the Qur'an, it must be remembered that these things are not a subject for learning and teaching.

🍃 Exegesis of the Quran

If we are interested in the interpretation of the Quran, we have to study those commentaries which are well-known and commonly available. Some of these commentaries occasionally mention some of these subjects, but all that they say amounts to leading the blind by the blind. The Quran deals with all these questions, but only for him who can understand them. It has been said: 'Only he to whom it is addressed, knows the Quran.' This fact has been alluded to in the following verses:

The Holy Spirit descended with it on your heart. (26:193)

We revealed it on the Night of Power (97:1)

Nobody can witness the reality of the Quran except the Holy Prophet, who was the first addressee of the Qur'an. Here there is no question of intellectual perception nor of any proof or argument. It is a question of witnessing the truth, not with the eye or with the mind, but with the heart, and for that matter, not an ordinary heart, but the heart of the Holy Prophet, who himself was the heart of the world.

The Holy Prophet witnessed the reality of the Quran. As its first addressee he knew the Quran well. But even he expressed the truth in veiled words and by means of examples. How can we explain sunlight to a blind man? What language should we use for this purpose? Where can we find the appropriate words?

All that we can say is that sight is possible in the light only. What can he who has seen the divine light tell the one who has not seen it? What can he who has a knot in his tongue tell him who has a knot in his ears. The Prophets had a knot in their tongues because their listeners lacked the capacity of understanding what they said.

The Holy Prophet's Embarrassment

This knot was causing a great deal of worry and inconvenience to the Holy Prophet who wondered to whom he should explain the Qur'an which was revealed to his heart. Perhaps there were a good number of things which could not be told to anybody except the person who was occupying the position of absolute Wilayat.

The Holy Prophet is reported to have said: 'No Prophet has been tortured so much as I have been.' If this report is correct, it might have implied among other things that the Holy Prophet was unable to convey to others what he wanted to convey. His position in this respect was that of a father keen to show the sun to his blind child. His frustration can easily be imagined.

The father wants to explain the sunlight to his child, but on account of child's blindness he is unable to do so. He does not find suitable words to convey what he wants to convey.

It is said that knowledge is a great hurdle. It prevents people from undertaking gnostic journey and instead involves them into intellectual questions and scientific theories. For the Holy men knowledge is the greatest barrier and veil.

The more the knowledge, the bigger hurdle it will prove. Man being egoistic and self-centered, feels elated by his limited knowledge and thinks that there is nothing beyond what he knows. Only a few persons guided by the help of Allah refrain from such false notion and silly thinking.

🍃 Tendency of Monopolization in Knowledge

Everybody thinks that knowledge is confined to what he has learnt and all achievements depend on it. The jurist holds that the only branch of knowledge that exists is jurisprudence. The gnostic thinks that there is nothing except gnosis.

The philosopher is of the opinion that everything other than philosophy is useless. The engineer maintains that only engineering is important. Nowadays, it is said that knowledge is only that which can be proved by experiment and observation. Everything else is unscientific. Thus knowledge is a big hurdle. There are other hurdles too, but this is the biggest.

Knowledge, which was expected to be a beacon light and a guide has became a hurdle, an obstacle. That is true of all kinds of formal knowledge. Formal knowledge does not allow man to become what he should. It makes him egoistic. Its adverse effect on an untrained mind leads man backward.

As knowledge accumulates, its disadvantages and harmful effects grow. It is no use sowing seeds in a barren soil. A barren soil and untrained mind averse to the name of Allah are alike. Some people are scared by philosophical questions, although philosophy is a branch of formal knowledge. Similarly philosophers shy of from gnosis, while the gnostics consider all formal knowledge to be an idle talk.

Formal Knowledge is a Hurdle in the Way of Remembering Allah

I do not know what we should become, but I know that our training should be such that our formal knowledge should not be a hurdle in the way of remembering Allah. This is an important question. Our pre-occupation with knowledge should not make us forget Allah.

Our pride on account of our knowledge should not make us self-conceited and away from the source of all perfection. Such a pride is common among the scholars and intellectuals irrespective of the fact whether they are the scholars of medical sciences, Islamic sciences or rational sciences. If heart is not purified the emergence of such a pride is natural. It keeps man away from Allah.

How is it that the study of a book often absorbs man's entire attention, but prayer does not? I had a friend who is dead now. Whenever he forgot something and could not recollect it, he used to say: 'Let me stand up for offering prayers. I hope I'll immediately recollect it.'

He thought as if while offering prayers man was not required to pay attention to Allah and was free to think of anything on the face of earth, even to try to solve any scientific question if he wanted. Knowledge which was meant to help man reaching his goal can thus prevent him from doing so. Religious law and other branches of religious knowledge are only a means, which enable us to act according to Islamic injunctions.

Even action according to Islamic injunctions is not an end in itself. The real objective is to awaken our conscience so that we may be able to reach the veils of divine light after crossing the veils of darkness. According to a tradition there are 70,000 veils of divine light. The number of the veils of darkness is also stated to be the same. Further, the veils of divine light are also after all veils or screens. We have not yet come out of the veils of darkness, to say nothing of the veils of light. We are still wriggling in the veils of darkness.

As the luck would have it, the sciences whether religious or rational, have affected us adversely.

🍃 Mental and Concrete

Some of those who are wandering about in darkness call the rational sciences mental sciences. Probably what they mean is that these sciences have no concrete existence. Anyway, all sciences are a means of reaching a goal. Any science that does not serve that purpose is not fit to be called a science.

Any knowledge which does not allow man to achieve the objective for which the Prophets have come, is darkness and a barrier. The Prophets came to take the people out of the darkness of this world and to lead them to the sole source of light. They wanted man to pass away in absolute light. They want the drop of water to be mingled in the ocean and lose its existence. (It must be remembered that the simile does not represent the position fully.)

All Prophets came for this very purpose and all sciences are a means of achieving this goal. The real existence is of that Light only. We are but nonentity. All Prophets came to pull us out of all sorts of darkness and to lead us to the sole and absolute Light, the source of all existence.

Sometimes even scholastic theology becomes a hurdle and a barrier. In this branch of knowledge arguments are adduced to prove the existence of Allah, but in some cases even these arguments lead people away from Him. The method followed by scholastic theology is not that of the Prophets and the Holy men who never adduced arguments. Of course they were aware of the arguments, but did not use them, because they did not like this method of proving the existence of Allah.

Imam Hussain (as) addressing Allah once said: 'When were You not there?' When Allah has always existed, where is the necessity of proving His existence? It is a different thing that a blind eye does not see Him.

🍃 Rising for Allah

The Qur'an mentions the first stage of rising in these words:

Say: I advise you to do one thing: that you rise for Allah. (Surah Saba, 34:46)

The gnostics say that this verse describes the first stage of spiritual journey. The Manazil al-Sa’irin1 also says so. But what the verse mentions may be only a prelude, not a stage. Anyhow, what is important is that Allah through his well-beloved Prophet offers an advice and asks people to rise.

This is the starting point. Those who are sleeping have been told to get up and rise for Allah only. This is the only piece of advice which we have not so far listened to. We have not yet begun walking for Allah. We do walk, but for our own sake. Those who are good and pious, are also good for their own sake only. Yes, there are some friends of Allah whose ways are different.

The advice given in the verse is for us who are sleeping. Those friends of Allah have gone to the higher world. We will also be carried there. Nobody can claim that he would forever stay here. We are being pushed away by the angels controlling our organs. We will go there, but shall we go with all our veils and darkness's?

🍃 Love of the World is the Root Cause of all Troubles

Besides being the source of all things, love of the world is the main cause of all mistakes, as a well-known maxim says: 'Love of the world sometimes makes a man so irresponsible that if he feels that Allah has withdrawn something from him, he, in spite of being a believer, gets offended'.

It is said that when a person is about to die the devils who do not want him to die as a believer bring before him certain things to which he was very much attached. For example, if he was a student and loved books, the devils would bring before him his favorite books and would threaten him to set them on fire if he would not deviate from his faith. The same way the devils threaten the person who loves his child or is strongly interested in something else.

It is not correct to think that a worldly person is he who possesses wealth. One may possess a lot of wealth, but still may not be worldly. On the other hand, a student possessing only one book may be worldly if he was too much attached to it. Attachment to worldly things is the criterion of being worldly.

Because of this attachment a person may become hostile to Allah when he finds himself at the time of his death forced to quit his favorite things and thus may die as an enemy of Allah. Therefore, we must lessen our attachment to worldly things. Obviously we have to quit this world one day or other. So it does not make any difference whether we are attached to the world or not.

Suppose you owned a book. Whether you were attached to it or not, it would remain with you. You could use it and could get benefited by it. Similarly if a house was yours, you could use it in every case. Therefore diminish attachment as much as you can, and if possible, give it up altogether, for it is this attachment that causes trouble. It is because of self-love that man gets attached to the world. Love of self, power and position ruins man.

Love of chair and love of pulpit both show attachment to the world. All these are veils, 'some of them above others.' Instead of saying worldly people are those who possess such and such things, we should see how far we are attached to the things we possess. It is only because of this attachment that we criticize others.

A man who is not egoistic, does not criticize others. If some of us find fault with others, it is because they consider themselves to be cultured and perfect and regard others imperfect and faulty. There is a couplet which I would not recite because it is liable to some objection. Anyway, it says: 'I am just what you say, but are you what you pretend to be!'

Here in the seminary we show that we have come here for the sake of Allah. We call ourselves 'Allah's troops'. Are we really so? At least we should not pretend to be what we are not.

Is hypocrisy something else? Hypocrisy is not merely that a man pretends like Abu Sufyan to be religious while he is not so. It is also hypocrisy that a man claims to be what he is not. Anyway, hypocrisy has degrees, some of which are more severe than others.

Another important thing is that when a man departs this world it should not be said about him that he was merely inviting people to the next world and was indifferent to the present one. The Prophets invited people to the next world, but in this world also they used to set up justice and fair play.

The Holy Prophet was very close to Allah, but he used to say that he sought the forgiveness of Allah seventy times every day as he felt his heart somewhat perturbed. Naturally for a man who wants always to be with his beloved, it is perturbing to meet other people and talk to them. Suppose a man came to you to ask you about a rule of law. He is a very good man, and you know that it is your duty as well as a meritorious act to answer his question, but you still feel perturbed because at that time you wanted to be with your beloved.

'Because of the perturbation of my heart I seek the forgiveness of Allah seventy times every day.' The Holy Prophet is reported to have said some such thing. But for us it would not be proper to involve ourselves in such things. At least we should be as we give ourselves out. If we have a mark of prostration on our forehead, we must not be showy in our prayers. If we profess to be pious, we must not deceive anybody, we must not take usury.

Those who say that spiritual sciences make a man idler, are mistaken. The man who taught these sciences to the people and who next to the Holy Prophet knew the spiritual truths more than anybody else, according to history, took up his shovel and went out to work the same day as he pledged his allegiance to the Holy Prophet. There is no contradiction between spiritual sciences and physical work.

Those who, in order to keep people busy with their worldly affairs, prevent them from praying and saying liturgy etc., are not aware of real facts. They do not know that it is prayer that builds human character and teaches man how to live in this world respectably. The Prophets prayed and said liturgy etc. and it were they who established justice in the world and rose against the wrongdoers. Imam Husayn also did the same thing. Just see his Supplication of the Day of Arafah and ponder over it.

All their achievements were due to this prayers. It is prayers that make man attentive to Allah. If man recites them properly, then as the result of divine favor brought about by them, his self-attachment is diminished, but his efficiency is in no way affected adversely. Not only that but he becomes more active and ever ready to render service to his fellow human beings.

Some ignorant people criticize the books containing supplications. They do not know what kind of men these books build. Some of these supplications such as Munajat Sha'biniyah, Dua' Kumayl, Dua' Yawmul 'Arafah, Dua' Samat etc. have come down to us from our Imams. What kind of men do these prayers build. Those who recited the Munajat Sha'biniya, wielded the sword also.

According to reports all Imams recited Munajat Sha'biniya. I have not read anywhere about any other prayer or supplication that it was recited by all Imams. Those who recited this prayer, also fought against the unbelievers.

These prayers take man out of darkness and he who comes out of darkness becomes the real man. Then he does everything for Allah's sake. If he wields the swords, he does so for the sake of Allah; if he fights, he does so for the sake of Allah and if rises, he does so for the sake of Allah. It is absolutely wrong to say that prayers make man idle and useless.

Those who say such things, to them this world is everything. They believe everything beyond this world to be fantastic. But one day they will find that the things they thought to be fantastic were real and the things they thought to be real were fantastic. In fact prayers, sermons and the books like Nahjul Balaghah and Mafatihul Jinan help man in building his personality.

When one becomes a real man, he automatically begins to act according to true Islamic principles. He cultivates land, but his cultivation is for Allah. He fights but only against the infidels and wrongdoers. Such people are the monotheists and pious prayerers. Those who accompanied the Holy Prophet and the Commander of the Faithful were devoted worshippers.

Imam Ali himself used to offer prayers while fighting was going on. Fighting and praying went on side by side. Once while fighting was going on somebody asked him a question. He immediately rose and delivered a sermon. Somebody said: 'Sermon even on this occasion?' He said: 'It is for what we fight.' According to a report he added: 'We do not fight against Mu'awiyah to capture Syria. Syria has no importance to us.'

The Holy Prophet and Imam Ali were not keen to conquer Syria and Iraq. They wanted to deliver the people from the oppressors and to reform them morally. It was they who were ardent worshippers. Dua' Kumayl was taught by Imam Ali to Kumayl, who himself was a warrior.

🍃 Effect of Prayer on Heart

To prevent people from praying and reciting prayer books one day some wicked people, the followers of Kasrawi etc. collected gnosis and prayer books and set them on fire. These people did not understand what prayer was and what effect it produced on heart. They did not know that all good things in the world were due to the pious prayerers who prayed and remembered Allah. Although some people repeat their prayer simply parrot-like, yet it produces some effect, for the people who pray are better than those who do not.

A man who offers prayers, of howsoever low quality his prayers may be, is better than a man who does not offer prayers. The former is more cultured. He does not commit theft. Look at the list of the offenders and criminals. How many of them are the students of religious sciences? How many mullas drink wine, commit theft or perpetrate other crimes?

It is true that the smugglers include some unreal mullas and sufi looking persons, but those wicked people neither offer prayers nor do they perform any other meritorious acts. They have assumed this disguise just to achieve their vicious ends. Among those who recite prayers and observe Islamic injunctions, there are few who have ever been charge-sheeted for any serious crime.

The world order rests on the people who pray. Praying must not be done away with. It will be wrong to divert the attention of our young men from prayer on the plea that instead of prayer the recitation of the Quran should be popularized. What paves the way for the Quran must not be given up. It is a diabolic insinuation that the Quran should be recited and the tradition and supplications to Allah should be abandoned.

🍃 The Quran Without Traditions and Prayer

Those who say that they do not want supplications, would never be able to popularize the Quran. Their deceptive ideas are mere devilish insinuations. The young men should consider who have rendered better service to society, those who took keen interest in traditions, supplication and liturgy or those who said that the Quran was enough for them. All these charitable institutions and religious endowments are the works of those who offered prayers and recited the Quran, not of others.

All the religious schools and hospitals were built by those members of the rich nobility of the previous era who offered prayers. This system should continue. People should be encouraged to keep their attention to the good works. Besides helping in the achievement of spiritual excellence, these prayers and supplications help in the administration of the country also.

Those who attend the mosques and pray do not violate the law of the country nor do they breach the public order. This in itself is a great service to society. Society consists of individuals. Even if fifty per cent individuals in a society, being busy with prayers and supplications, did not commit crimes, it would be a happy situation!

A craftsman who does his job honestly and earns his livelihood, does not commit sins. Similarly those who commit murders and robberies, are not interested in spiritual matters. If they had been interested in them, they would not have committed such crimes.

Prayers and supplications play a significant role in training society. These supplications have been taught by Allah and His Prophet. The Holy Quran says:

Say: My Lord would not have cared for you, if you had not been calling Him. (Surah al-Furqan, 25:77)

If you read the Quran, you will find that Allah Himself urges people to pray to Him and says that ‘He would not have cared for you if you had not been calling Him.’ It appears that those who oppose supplications, do not believe even in the Quran. If anyone says that he does not want supplications, that means that he is neither interested in the Quran, nor does he believe in it. He does not know that Allah says:

Call Me, I will respond to you. (Surah Ghafir, 40:60)

May Allah include us among those who are keenly interested in supplications, prayer and the Quran.

Simple Advice: Do Not Delay Repentance

Dear brothers and sisters,

Who are we deceiving by committing sins in secret? Perhaps we think we are fooling those around us, but in reality, we are only deceiving ourselves. Even if no one sees our sins, the Master of the Universe, Allah ﷻ, witnesses every action we take. What will we do when we stand before our Lord, the Almighty, and He commands us to open our Book of Deeds (Sijill or Kitab al-A'mal), which contains every action—good or bad—we performed in this life?

Evidence from the Qur'an

Allah ﷻ reminds us in Surah Al-Isra (17:13-14):

> “And every person, We have fastened to him his record of deeds upon his neck, and We will bring forth for him on the Day of Resurrection a book he will find spread open. [It will be said], ‘Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant.’”

The noble angels, Kiram al-Katibeen, record every action as Allah ﷻ mentions in Surah Al-Infitar (82:10-12):

> “Indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers, Noble and recording; They know whatever you do.”

Everything we do, whether in public or private, is being recorded. On the Day of Judgment, nothing will be hidden from Allah ﷻ.

Practical Advice Based on the Qur'an and Sunnah

1. Be Honest in All Situations

Do not act righteous in public while disobeying Allah in private. Allah ﷻ sees everything and knows what is in your heart. Be sincere and truthful in your worship and dealings, both when alone and among others.

2. Repent Without Delay

Do not postpone repentance. Allah ﷻ has given us time as a mercy, but it is not guaranteed. At any moment, our soul may be taken, leaving us no opportunity to return to Him. Allah ﷻ warns us in Surah Az-Zumar (39:59):

> “My signs came to you, but you denied them, were arrogant, and were among the disbelievers.”

3. Seize the Opportunity to Change

Once the soul is taken, there will be no second chances. Allah ﷻ does not accept repentance at the time of death. Change yourself now while you still have time.

4. Prepare for the Day of Judgment

A day will come when all our deeds will be exposed, and we will face the truth of our actions. Strive to earn Allah’s pleasure and forgiveness instead of seeking worldly desire and to earn the praise of people.

Final Reminder

This life is short and temporary. Use your time wisely to worship Allah sincerely, repent from your sins, and seek His mercy. Do not let procrastination or heedlessness lead you to regret when it is too late.

May Allah ﷻ make us among those who repent sincerely, act righteously, and earn His eternal pleasure.

Wa Allahu A'lam.

Is Earth Flat According To Islam?

Lately, there’s been some confusion among people, even within the Muslim community, about whether the Earth is flat or not. Some claim that Islam teaches that the Earth is flat, but when we look deeper into the Qur’an and Islamic teachings, that’s not actually the case.

Firstly, Islam has always encouraged the pursuit of knowledge, especially about the natural world. Allah tells us in the Qur’an to observe and reflect on His creation, and throughout history, Muslim scholars have made significant contributions to fields like astronomy, geography, and physics. Many of these scholars were aware that the Earth was round centuries before it was widely accepted elsewhere.

In the Qur’an, Allah describes the Earth in ways that align more with the modern understanding of its shape. For instance, in Surah Az-Zumar (39:5), Allah says, “He created the heavens and Earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night.” The word used here for "wrap" is yukawwir, which in Arabic refers to something being wrapped or coiled around a spherical object, like a turban around someone’s head. This suggests a round shape of the Earth, as the day and night cycle wouldn't work the same way if the Earth were flat.

Another verse, in Surah An-Nazi'at (79:30), says, "And after that He spread the Earth." Some people misunderstand this to mean that the Earth is flat, but the Arabic word dahāhā used here means "spread out" or "made expansive." It’s actually connected to the word for an ostrich egg, which has a rounded shape. This verse is more about how Allah has made the Earth expansive and habitable, not about its flatness.

The notion that the Earth is flat doesn’t align with the Qur'an or with the history of Islamic science. Muslims like Al-Biruni and Ibn Hazm explored the concept of a spherical Earth long before it became common knowledge in Europe. These scholars used observations of the stars, shadows, and geography to conclude that the Earth was round. Islam encourages us to seek knowledge and reflect on the signs of Allah’s creation, not to deny the truths that science has shown us.

The idea that the Earth is flat is not based on Islamic teachings but is a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of scripture. Just like with many things, it’s important to read the Qur’an in context and understand that our faith does not contradict reality. Islam is a religion that supports knowledge, growth, and discovery, and science is a part of understanding Allah’s creation.

In the end, Islam teaches us to use both reason and faith. Allah encourages us to explore the world around us, and in doing so, we come to appreciate His creation even more. So, while some might believe the Earth is flat, this isn’t supported by the Qur’an or the rich history of Islamic scholarship. The Earth is round, and this fact only deepens our understanding of the wisdom behind Allah’s creation.

(keep in mind I'm not a scholar and i write these based on my knowledge.)

Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Surah Al-Kahf Ayah 45-46

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

18:45 And mention the parable of the worldly life:

it is like the water which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it, and becomes fresh and green. But (later) it becomes dry and broken pieces, which the winds scatter.

And Allah is able to do everything.

18:46 Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world. But the good righteous deeds that last, are better with your Lord for reward and better for hope.

The Parable of the Worldly Life

Allah says:

And mention,

O Muhammad, to the people,

the parable of the worldly life,

its transient nature and how it will eventually cease and come to an end.

it is like the water which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it,

It mingles with the seeds that are in the earth, so they grow and become good, producing bright, fresh flowers, then after that,

it becomes dry and broken pieces, withered up,

(which the winds scatter) tossing them about right and left.

And Allah is able to do everything.

He has the power to do this and that.

In the Qur'an Allah often gives parables like this of the life of this world, as He says in Surah Yunus,

The parable of the worldly life is but that of water which We send down from the sky so by it arises the intermingled produce of the earth of which men and cattle eat.... (10:24)

and in Surah Az-Zumar:

See you not that Allah sends down water from the sky, and causes it to penetrate the earth, then out from it comes crops of different colors. )39:21(

and in Surah Al-Hadid:

Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children. (It is) like the parable of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller... )57:20(

and in the Sahih Hadith:

This world is sweet and green.

Between Wealth and Good Deeds

Allah says:

Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world.

This is like the Ayah:

Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, vaulted hoards of gold... )3:14(

Allah says:

Your wealth and your children are only a trial, whereas Allah! With Him is a great reward (Paradise). (64:15)

turning towards Allah and worshipping Him is better for you than keeping busy with them, and accumulating wealth for them and going to extremes in feeling pity and compassion for them.

Allah says:

But the good righteous deeds that last, are better with your Lord for reward and better for hope.

Ibn Abbas, Sa`id bin Jubayr and others among the Salaf said that;

the good righteous deeds that last are the five daily prayers.

Ata' bin Abi Rabah and Sa`id bin Jubayr narrated from Ibn Abbas,

"The good righteous deeds that last are

-Subhan Allah (glory be to Allah)',

-Al-Hamdu Lillah (praise be to Allah)',

-La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah)', and

-Allahu Akbar (Allah is Most Great).'"

The Commander of the faithful, Uthman bin Affan was

questioned,

"Which are the good righteous deeds that last'' He replied,

"They are:

-La ilaha illallah,

-Subhan Allah,

-Al-Hamdu Lillah,

-Allahu Akbar and

-La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah hil- `Aliyil-`Azim (there is no strength and no power except with Allah the Exalted, the Almighty).'''

This was recorded by Imam Ahmad.

Imam Ahmad also recorded from a freed slave of the Messenger of Allah that he said:

Well done! Well done for five things! (How heavy they will weigh in the balance!

-"La ilaha illallah,

-Allahu Akbar,

-Subhan Allah, and

-Al-Hamdu Lillah,'' and

-a righteous son who dies and his parents seek the reward of Allah.

And he said: (Well done! Well done for five things! Whoever meets Allah believing in them, he will enter Paradise; if he believes in:

-Allah,

-the Last Day,

-Paradise and Hell,

-resurrection after death,

-and the Reckoning.

the good righteous deeds that last,

Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn Abbas said,

"This is the celebration of the remembrance of Allah, saying;

-La ilaha illallah,

-Allahu Akbar,

-Subhan Allah,

-Al-Hamdu Lillah,

-Tabarak Allah,

-La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah,

-Astaghfirallah,

-Sallallahu `ala Rasul-Allah', and

ï fasting, prayer, Hajj, Sadaqah (charity), freeing slaves, Jihad, maintaining ties of kinship, and all other good deeds.

These

which will remain in Paradise for those who do them for as long as heaven and earth remain.''

are the righteous good deeds that last,

Al-Awfi reported from Ibn Abbas: "They are good words.''

Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said, "They are all righteous deeds.''

This was also the view chosen by Ibn Jarir, may Allah have mercy on him.

بھاگو بھ��گو بھاگو 

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Your Passporta are ready, you have you Iqamas from you kafeel  and visas from your masters and you have transferred all the loot and robber5from the helpless, the needy, the poor and the simple people of Pakistan either transferred to your overseas accounts or packed to take with you and your planes are waiting for you at the nearest. So, run and run and runs as fast as you can, with your  dull and limited capabilities,  get the hell out of here before it is too late;  but it is never too late. 

JUST THINK ABOUT, SERIOUSLY, REALLY!

All Praises are due to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) Alone. Al-Hamdo lillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen الحمد للہ رب العالمین. May Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) bless them all, one and all, young and old, men, women and children, Ameen آمین, and reward all of them with the best of everything in both the words, Thumma Ameen 

Bravo to Captain Imran Khan and his team, who worked hard with commitment and Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) and with sheer faith in Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), Laa ilaaha illAllah لا الا الله, a commitment to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), and a sincere promise not to beg from anyone else and bow to anyone but God Almighty, Iyyaka wa iyyaka nast’aeen إياك نعبد و إياك نستعين.

God loves those who are steadfast” – Holy Qur'an Surah Al-e-‘Imran, 3, Ayah 146) Say: "O My slaves who believe, be afraid of your Lord (Allah) and keep your duty to Him. Good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world, and Allah's earth is spacious! Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without reckoning.” Surah Az-Zumar, 39, Ayah 10.

Because of Yaqeen Muhkam یقیں محکم , ’Amal Paiham عمل پیہم, and Muhabbat محبت for the world, he has won the hearts of Muslim children, women and old people all over the world as their beloved leader. Thanks to Allah, the only ONE, Who gave victory to H.E. Imran Khan and his team of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) پاکستان تحریک انصاف. 

God Almighty proved beyond a shadow of doubt that if you obey Me, have faith in Me, and trust Me, I will keep you steadfast and remove any obstacle in your marathon run of thirty (30) years to victory both as a good Captain and as a Leader, who can prove to the whole world that he is a unique and one of a kind LEADER par excellence of the Islamic World, In shaa Allah!

The good news for the whole world of Islam is the Imran Khan is going to come back soon as the New Prime Minister of New Pakistan نیا پاکستان, a new Raisat-e-Madinah نئی ریاست مدینہ , In shaa Allah. 

It is his second coming to help the helpless, the needy, and the poor people of New Pakistan to get out of poverty and lead a decent life in the New Islamic Republic of Pakistan, just like in any other developed country anywhere in the world. It is just the beginning of a new coming and you haven't seen nothing yet.

Allahu (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) is going to make him the next Prime Minister, again, like he did before. The people of Makkah challenged Prophet Muhammad (SallAlllahu ‘alaihi wa Salllam) that how will Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) raise them again while they were be nothing but bones in the grave, Surah al-Qiyamah, 75, Ayaat 1-5.

So the answer given to Meccans by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) was:

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَ, I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ, And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُ, Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَه, Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

Please pray two Rak’at رکعات of Salatu Hajah صلواة الحاجه on behalf of Imran Khan begging Allah (Subhanah wa Ta’ala) to give courage, wisdom and strength to Imran Khan to fulfill his promises that he made to Allah (Subhanah wa Ta’ala) in the Holy Ka’bah خانہ کعبہ in Makkah Mukarramah مکہ مکرمه , and to Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) in his Hujrah Mubarak حجرہ مبارک in Masjid-e-Nabwi مسجد نبوى, Madinah Munawwarah مدینہ منورہ.

As to the government officials in opposition to him, who want to get rid of him because they are jealous of his wonderful achievements inall fields of life, both here and abroad. They badly want what the Almighty has given him, but God Almighty has written curses in their fate. They are reaping what they sowed in the last thirty (30) years. May God Almighty show them the light, Ameen, and make them also good Muslims, Thumma Ameen.

Last but least, please go to the Imam امام (Khateeb خطیب) of your Mosque (Masjid) on this coming Friday and request him to pray to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) for his health, happiness and prosperity, Ameen, and grant him the courage, the wisdom, the strength and Taufiq توفیق to be the Best Prime Minister of Pakistan for all times to come, Ameen Thumma Ameen Yaa Rabbil ‘aalameen آمین ثم آمین یا رب العالمین.

BERJALAN TERLALU JAUH

Siapa orang yang disebut dalam Al Qur'an berada dalam kesesatan yang jauh?. Orang yang ingkar pada ayat-ayat Allah, secara khusus Al Qur'an.

Tanda-tanda kebesaran Allah itu ada di segala penjuru , bahkan di diri kita, sekitar kita, di laut, di gunung, di langit, di tata surya, dimanapun.

Apakah tidak cukup tanda-tanda kebesaran itu untuk menjadikan seseorang yakin pada Allah?

سَنُرِيْهِمْ اٰيٰتِنَا فِى الْاٰ فَا قِ وَفِيْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ حَتّٰى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ اَنَّهُ الْحَـقُّ ۗ اَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ اَنَّهٗ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ

"Kami akan memperlihatkan kepada mereka tanda-tanda (kebesaran) Kami di segenap penjuru dan pada diri mereka sendiri, sehingga jelaslah bagi mereka bahwa Al-Qur'an itu adalah benar. Tidak cukupkah (bagi kamu) bahwa Tuhanmu menjadi saksi atas segala sesuatu?" (QS. Fussilat 41: Ayat 53)

Sejauh mana kita merenungi, memahami Qur'an? Padahal Allah sudah mengatakan Al Qur'an itu petunjuk, arah kebahagiaan dunia dan akhirat.

Dan hal yang menakutkan itu kalau diberi petunjuk tapi masih ragu, tidak mampu memperhatikan tanda-tanda kebesaranNya itu ada di penjuru langit dan bumi, bahkan di diri kita. Jangan-jangan hati ini sudah terlalu jauh hingga tak mampu lagi melihat kebesaranNya?

اَفَمَنْ شَرَحَ اللّٰهُ صَدْرَهٗ لِلْاِ سْلَا مِ فَهُوَ عَلٰى نُوْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ ۗ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْقٰسِيَةِ قُلُوْبُهُمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ ۗ اُولٰٓئِكَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

"Maka apakah orang-orang yang dibukakan hatinya oleh Allah untuk (menerima) agama Islam lalu dia mendapat cahaya dari Tuhannya (sama dengan orang yang hatinya membatu)? Maka celakalah mereka yang hatinya telah membatu untuk mengingat Allah. Mereka itu dalam kesesatan yang nyata." (QS. Az-Zumar 39: Ayat 22)

Kepada siapakah kita mempercayakan hidup kalau bukan kepadaNya? Kepada siapakah kita meminta petunjuk kalau bukan kepada Allah?

[wisdomrays]

REFLECTIONS ON THE QUR'AN: Sūratu’n-Nisā’ (Women): Part 1

But of no avail is the repentance of those who commit evil (for a lifetime) until, when one of them is visited by death, he says, “Indeed now I repent.” Nor (likewise does the repentance avail) of those who (spend their lives in unbelief and offer to repent just at the time of death, but) die as unbelievers (since such repentance is not acceptable). For such We have prepared a painful punishment. (An-Nisā’ 4:18)

The last moment of the life of a person who has not believed until that very moment—the moment when the belief of the person is no longer accepted—is called “the state of despair.” However, it is important to define the limits of this moment very well. This is the moment when it is certain both for the dying one and those around them that it is impossible for the dying one to go back to life and live long enough to believe consciously and practice it even for a very short while.

Indeed, the belief of a person is accepted provided he believes at least for a moment in full consciousness even before it is certain that the person will die. It was this moment when Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, offered belief to his uncle Abū Tālib. Having retained his consciousness, Abū Tālib—under the influence of the polytheist Makkans around him—responded that he was dying in the old religion of his forefathers. Another example worth mentioning is young Jewish boy who was sick. Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, visited the sick Jewish boy and offered him to profess “lā ilāha illa’llāh”—There is no deity but God. Then the boy looked into his father’s eyes expecting a response. The father made a gesture of acceptance. The young boy declared faith in a loud voice, repeating the words God’s Messenger said to him. Therefore, unless one does not lose one’s consciousness, the heavenly doors are open to faith.

The state of despair, that is, the moment when belief is not accepted, begins when it is certain that a sick person will die and will not have even a new conscious moment of returning to life when that person can believe. But if there is still even a little hope of return to life when one can believe consciously and practice it even by saying a good word, this may be a blessed seed to grow into a tree of blessings and rewards in the intermediate world of grave and in the Hereafter. However, if the eyes are about to close unto the world and open unto the other realm, any opportunity to believe and practice it even by saying a good word has been lost.

There are those who constantly darken their horizons with sins after they have believed. It is hoped from God’s all-encompassing mercy that they may be referents of the Divine declaration, “Say: (God gives you hope): ‘O My servants who have been wasteful (of their God-given opportunities and faculties) against (the good of) their own souls! Do not despair of God’s Mercy’” (Az-Zumar 39:53).

JUZ 24 - LESSONS

➖SURAH AZ-ZUMAR

-Do not lie about Allah SWT. Do not say it is in the Qur'an when it is not there. Do not call

Allah SWT with the Names that are not His.

How Does One Lie About Allah SWT?

-Ascribing partners with Him

-Ascribing a statement to Him

If you want Allah SWT to erase your evil deeds then increase your good deeds

-A smart person is he who relies upon Allah SWT. When people harm you by their words or actions say HasbiyaAllah (Allah SWT is Sufficient for me).

- Instead of fighting with people - do Da'wah. Present your Deen in such a way that people want to learn more.

Do not nag anyone after doing Da'wah. Our responsibility is only to communicate.

-Our souls are taken away every time we sleep. Do not forget to sleep in the state of ablution and recite your Adhkar. Say the Kalimah so that if you die, you are resurrected on Tawheed.

Life is short, do not sleep it away

-Do not be of those who when Allah SWT is mentioned their hearts are constricted. How can we check this?

What kind of gatherings do you enjoy?

Qur'an class?

Halaqahs? Taraweeh

Iftaar party?

Tea-party or any social gathering? waiting outside a store for 2-4 hours to get a discount or buy the latest gadget?

when people invite us to an Islamic lecture, a Dars, a Halaqah, do we go running or do we come up with excuses (I've to do this and that!?

Do we like to talk about Allah SWT more or do we like to talk about our spouses, our children, the latest fashion, recipes, favorite drama and other people?

-Do not attribute your success or blessings to yourself. For example, do not say, "I got this position because I am brilliant," or "Because I have great networking skills." Every blessing that we enjoy is a favor of Allah SWT. Do not forget Him when you are blessed.

If you have done any wrong in the past then remember this ayah:

"O My servants who have transgressed against themselves (by sinning), do not despair of the mercy of Allah Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the forgiving, the Merciful." 39.53)

-Do not wait for Hajj, 'Umrah or Ramadan to come for you to repent. Repent as soon as you realize you have committed a mistake.

"And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your Lord..." (39:55)

Do what the Qur'an commands you to do. Do not invent things in the religion

-Ayaat 39: 56-58 tell us to explain Ayaat 53-54 to the people. Give them hope. No matter how ignorant we were in the past Allah SWT is willing to forgive us.

-When you hear the Ayaat of Allah SWT such as Zakat is better than Riba, do not deny it.

Do not say this was for that time it does not apply to today's time anymore

"But yes, there had come to you My Ayaat, but you denied them and were arrogant, and you were among disbelievers." (39:59) the

Our attitude should be "Perhaps, I don't understand this command but it is true because it is from Allah SWT. It is difficult for me to leave my haram job but I acknowledge that it is haram." Then this person strives/makes an effort to find a halal job even if it pays less.

- On the Day of Judgment, some people will have black faces because of their evil deeds. If you want radiance in this world and the next, increase your good deeds.

"Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things. Disposer of affairs. To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And they who disbelieve in the verses of Allah - it is those who are the losers." (39:62-63)

So ask Him!

Do not go for the haram job, haram relationship, haram provision, mortgage, student loan, car loan or any other kind of haram

- Shirk will not be forgiven unless one does Tawbah. Learn about different types of Shirk.

- On the Day of Judgment, the only light will be Allah's Noor (see 39:69)

- On the Day of Judgment, each person will be paid according to what he did so see where you are investing your time and skills. Do not be too involved in decorating your Dunya.

-The first words of the people of Jannah will be, "Alhumdulillah." Because it was His Mercy that He guided us to the Right Path and enabled us to do the righteous deeds.

DO NOT JUST RELY ON MERCY

ASK ALLAH SWT FOR HIS MERCY

DO SOMETHING!

(Righteous deeds with sincerity acc.to Sunnah) Do NOT JUST DEPEND ON YOUR DEEDS.

➖SURAH GHAFIR/AL-MU'MIN

TAWBAH DEMANDS

Repentance

Realization

Cessation (Don't persist in sin) with sincerity)

(Salat al-Tawbah)

Reformation (Seek knowledge) + Right Timing

(ASAP. Don't wait for tommorrow) (I did wrong)

-The angels who bear the Throne make du'a for us:

"Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire. Our Lord, and admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have promised them and

whoever was righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their offspring. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day - You will have given him mercy. And that is the great attainment." (39:62- 63)

These du'as are for those who believe, repent and follow the way of Allah SWT.

"He knows the fraud of the eyes..." (40:19)

➖Fraud of the Eyes

-looking at a non-mahram (man or woman)

-looking at haram scenes (in movies, dramas, magazines)

-looking at someone else's confidential material

-"And what the chests conceal." (40:19) Haram feelings, haram thoughts and ideas

➖Prophet Musa's Du'a

إِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُم مِّن كُلِّ مُتَكَبِرٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ

"Indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account." (40:27)

- Learn Da'wah tips from the believing man of the Pharaoh's family (see 40:28-44)

"O my people, this worldly life is only temporary) enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter-that is the home of (permanent settlement." (40:39)

Do not dispute the Ayaat of Allah SWT. Why do people dispute? Because of the pride in their heart. So seek refuge in Allah SWT.

- "And not equal are the blind and the seeing, nor are those who believe and do righteous deeds and the evildoer. Little do you remember." (40:58)

meaning those who believe and do righteous deeds and those who just "wish" to enter Jannah without making any effort.

There is none worthy of worship EXCEPT Allah SWT. Invoke Him Alone. Do righteous deeds only for Him not to show-off. Do not love or rely on anyone more than Him.

"He is the Ever-Living: there is no deity except Him, so call upon Him, [being] sincere to Him in religion. [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds." (40:65)

-When Allah SWT decided upon a thing all He has to say is "Kun" and it will be. Nothing is impossible for Him. Improve your du'as.

➖SURAH FUSSILAT

-The Qur'an was revealed in Arabic, so learn the language

- who when commanded to come to Allah SWT willingly or unwillingly said, "We have come willingly." (41:11)

How do we go to Allah SWT? willingly or unwillingly? our prayer contains the answer to this question. How quickly do we respond to the call to the prayer.

Wouldn't the earth want to swallow us up, when it submitted to Allah SWT at one call and we openly commit sins on it day in and day out.

Our skin will testify against us of what we used to do (see 41:20)

Our ears.... She used me to listen to the haram

Our eyes.....She used me to see the haram

She used me to commit the haram

Remember this when disobeying Allah SWT

-Do not make noise when the Qur'an is being recited or you are in a religious gathering, whether a lecture or a mosque

-The best speech is talking about Allah SWT Calling people to Allah SWT

Use your skills to call people to Allah SWT. Your writing skills, speaking skills, etc.

"And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, Indeed. I am of the Muslims." (41:33)

SPEAK GOOD

STAND FIRM IN DEEN

INVITE PEOPLE TO ALLAH SWT

DO RIGHTEOUS DEEDS

DECLARE: YOU'RE A MUSLIM

(Do not change your name, your dressing, your lifestyle, when you move abroad)

Good deeds and evil deeds are not equal

Repel evil with good

Enmity/hatred will change into close friendship

But this is difficult and cannot be done without patience

The problem is with us, control your tongue and thoughts

Think good about others Be with the righteous who do good deeds and encourage you to do good

SHAYTAN WON'T LET YOU DO THIS

Will come back and whisper to you,

"How can you forgive her?" "How can you be nice to him?" "Remember, what she said to you?"

DON'T PAY HEED TO HIS WHISPERINGS

MAKE DU'A

SEEK REFUGE IN ALLAH SWT.

➖சூரா அஸ்-ஜுமர்

-அல்லாஹ்வை பற்றி பொய் சொல்லாதீர்கள் SWT. இல்லாத போது குரானில் உள்ளது என்று கூறாதீர்கள். அழைப்பு விடுக்காதே

அல்லாஹ் SWT பற்றி ஒருவர் எப்படி பொய் சொல்கிறார்?

-அவருடன் கூட்டாளிகளைக் கூறுதல்

- அவருக்கு ஒரு அறிக்கையைக் கூறுதல்

அல்லாஹ் உங்கள் தீய செயல்களை அழிக்க வேண்டுமென நீங்கள் விரும்பினால், உங்கள் நற்செயல்களை அதிகரிக்கவும்

- நாம் தூங்கும் ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் நம் ஆன்மா பறிக்கப்படுகிறது. துறவு நிலையில் தூங்கவும், உங்கள் அத்காரத்தை ஓதவும் மறக்காதீர்கள். நீங்கள் இறந்தால் தவ்ஹீதில் உயிர்ப்பிக்கப்படுவீர்கள் என்று கலிமாவைச் சொல்லுங்கள்.

வாழ்க்கை குறுகியது, தூங்க வேண்டாம்

-அல்லாஹ்வைக் குறிப்பிடும் போது அவர்களின் இதயங்கள் சுருங்கிக் கிடப்பவர்களில் ஒன்றாகி விடாதீர்கள். இதை எப்படி சரிபார்க்கலாம்?

இஸ்லாமிய சொற்பொழிவு, தார்ஸ், ஹலக்கா போன்றவற்றிற்கு மக்கள் நம்மை அழைக்கும் போது, ​​நாம் ஓடுகிறோமா அல்லது சாக்குப்போக்கு சொல்ல வருகிறோமா (நான் இதையும் அதையும் செய்ய வேண்டும்!?

நாம் அல்லாஹ்வை பற்றி அதிகம் பேச விரும்புகிறோமா அல்லது நம் மனைவி, நம் குழந்தைகள், சமீபத்திய ஃபேஷன், சமையல் வகைகள், பிடித்த நாடகம் மற்றும் பிற நபர்களைப் பற்றி பேச விரும்புகிறோமா?

- உங்கள் வெற்றியையோ அல்லது ஆசீர்வாதங்களையோ நீங்களே காரணம் காட்டாதீர்கள். உதாரணமாக, "நான் புத்திசாலித்தனமாக இருப்பதால் இந்த நிலை கிடைத்தது" அல்லது "எனக்கு சிறந்த நெட்வொர்க்கிங் திறன் இருப்பதால்" என்று சொல்லாதீர்கள். நாம் அனுபவிக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு ஆசீர்வாதமும் அல்லாஹ்வின் அருட்கொடையாகும். நீங்கள் ஆசீர்வதிக்கப்படும்போது அவரை மறந்துவிடாதீர்கள்.

கடந்த காலத்தில் நீங்கள் ஏதேனும் தவறு செய்திருந்தால், இந்த வசனத்தை நினைவில் கொள்ளுங்கள்:

"(பாவம் செய்து) தமக்கு எதிராக வரம்பு மீறிய எனது அடியார்களே, அல்லாஹ்வின் கருணையை நினைத்து விரக்தியடைய வேண்டாம், நிச்சயமாக அல்லாஹ் எல்லா பாவங்களையும் மன்னிப்பான். நிச்சயமாக அவனே மன்னிப்பவனாகவும், கருணையுடையவனாகவும் இருக்கின்றான்." 39.53)

நீங்கள் மனந்திரும்புவதற்காக ஹஜ், உம்ரா அல்லது ரமலான் வரும் வரை காத்திருக்க வேண்டாம். தவறு செய்ததை உணர்ந்தவுடன் மனம் வருந்தவும்.

"உங்கள் இறைவனிடமிருந்து உங்களுக்கு அறிவிக்கப்பட்டவற்றில் சிறந்ததைப் பின்பற்றுங்கள்..." (39:55)

குர்ஆன் உங்களுக்குக் கட்டளையிடுவதைச் செய்யுங்கள். மார்க்கத்தில் உள்ள விஷயங்களைப் புனையாதீர்கள்

-ஆயாத் 39: 56-58 ஆயாத் 53-54 ஐ மக்களுக்கு விளக்கச் சொல்லுங்கள். அவர்களுக்கு நம்பிக்கை கொடுங்கள். கடந்த காலத்தில் நாம் எவ்வளவு அறியாமையாக இருந்தபோதிலும் அல்லா SWT நம்மை மன்னிக்க தயாராக இருக்கிறார்.

ரிபாவை விட ஜகாத் சிறந்தது என்று அல்லாஹ்வின் ஆயத்தை நீங்கள் கேட்டால், அதை மறுக்காதீர்கள்.

அன்றைய காலகட்டம் என்று சொல்லாதீர்கள், அது இன்றைய காலத்திற்குப் பொருந்தாது

"ஆனால் ஆம், என் ஆயத் உங்களிடம் வந்துள்ளது, ஆனால் நீங்கள் அவற்றை மறுத்து, ஆணவத்துடன் இருந்தீர்கள், மேலும் நீங்கள் காஃபிர்களில��� இருந்தீர்கள்." (39:59) தி

நமது மனப்பான்மை "ஒருவேளை, இந்த கட்டளை எனக்கு புரியவில்லை, ஆனால் இது உண்மையாக இருக்கலாம், ஏனெனில் இது அல்லாஹ் சுபஹ்விடமிருந்து வந்தது. நான் எனது ஹராம் வேலையை விட்டுவிடுவது கடினம், ஆனால் இது ஹராம் என்பதை நான் ஒப்புக்கொள்கிறேன்." இந்த நபர் குறைந்த சம்பளம் கொடுத்தாலும் ஹலால் வேலையைக் கண்டுபிடிக்க பாடுபடுகிறார்/முயற்சி செய்கிறார்.

- கியாமத் நாளில், சிலர் தங்கள் தீய செயல்களால் முகம் கறுப்பாக இருப்பார்கள். இம்மையிலும் மறுமையிலும் பொலிவு வேண்டுமானால் உங்கள் நற்செயல்களை அதிகப்படுத்துங்கள்.

"அல்லாஹ் அனைத்தையும் படைத்தவன், அவனே எல்லாப் பொருட்களின் மீதும் இருக்கிறான், காரியங்களைச் செய்பவன். அவனுக்கே வானங்கள் மற்றும் பூமியின் திறவுகோல்கள் உள்ளன. மேலும் அல்லாஹ்வின் வசனங்களை நிராகரிப்பவர்களே - அவர்கள் நஷ்டமடைந்தவர்கள். ." (39:62-63)

எனவே அவரிடம் கேளுங்கள்!

ஹராம் வேலை, ஹராம் உறவு, ஹராம் வழங்குதல், அடமானம், மாணவர் கடன், கார் கடன் அல்லது வேறு எந்த வகையான ஹராமுக்கும் செல்ல வேண்டாம்.

- தவ்பா செய்யாதவரை ஷிர்க் மன்னிக்கப்படாது. பல்வேறு வகையான ஷிர்க் பற்றி அறிந்து கொள்ளுங்கள்.

- தீர்ப்பு நாளில், அல்லாஹ்வின் நூர் மட்டுமே வெளிச்சம் (பார்க்க 39:69)

- நியாயத்தீர்ப்பு நாளில், ஒவ்வொரு நபரும் அவர் என்ன செய்தாரோ அதற்கு ஏற்ப ஊதியம் வழங்கப்படும், எனவே நீங்கள் உங்கள் நேரத்தையும் திறமையையும் எங்கு முதலீடு செய்கிறீர்கள் என்பதைப் பாருங்கள். உங்கள் துன்யாவை அலங்கரிப்பதில் அதிக ஈடுபாடு கொள்ளாதீர்கள்.

- ஜன்னாவின் மக்களின் முதல் வார்த்தைகள், "அல்ஹம்துலில்லாஹ்." ஏனென்றால், அவருடைய கருணையே அவர் நம்மை நேர்வழியில் வழிநடத்தி, நேர்மையான செயல்களைச் செய்ய உதவினார்.

கருணையை மட்டும் நம்பாதீர்கள்

அல்லாஹ்வின் கருணைக்காக அல்லாஹ்விடம் கேளுங்கள்

ஏதாவது செய்!

(சுன்னாவுக்கு நேர்மையுடன் கூடிய நேர்மையான செயல்கள்) உங்கள் செயல்களை மட்டும் சார்ந்து இருக்காதீர்கள்.

"எங்கள் இறைவனே, நீங்கள் அனைத்தையும் கருணையாலும் அறிவாலும் சூழ்ந்திருக்கிறீர்கள், எனவே மனந்திரும்பி, உமது வழியைப் பின்பற்றியவர்களை மன்னித்து, நரக நெருப்பின் தண்டனையிலிருந்து அவர்களைக் காப்பாயாக. எங்கள் இறைவா, அவர்களை நீ அவர்களுக்கு வாக்களித்த நிரந்தரமான வசிப்பிட தோட்டங்களில் அனுமதிப்பாயாக.

அவர்களின் தந்தையர், அவர்களின் துணைவியார் மற்றும் அவர்களது சந்ததியினரிடையே நீதிமான்களாக இருந்தவர்கள். நிச்சயமாக, நீயே வல்லமை மிக்கவன், ஞானமுள்ளவன்.

மேலும் [அவர்களின் செயல்களின்] தீய விளைவுகளிலிருந்து அவர்களைக் காப்பாற்றுவாயாக. அந்த நாளில் நீங்கள் யாரை தீய விளைவுகளிலிருந்து காப்பாற்றுகிறீர்களோ - அவருக்கு நீங்கள் கருணை வழங்கியிருப்பீர்கள். அதுவே பெரிய சாதனையாகும்." (39:62-63)

இந்த துஆக்கள் அல்லாஹ்வின் வழியை நம்பி, மனந்திரும்பி, பின்பற்றுபவர்களுக்கானது.

"கண்களின் மோசடியை அவர் அறிவார்..." (40:19)

➖கண்களின் மோசடி

மஹ்ரம் அல்லாத ஒருவரைப் பார்ப்பது (ஆண் அல்லது பெண்)

ஹராம் காட்சிகளைப் பார்ப்பது (திரைப்படங்கள், நாடகங்கள், பத்திரிகைகளில்)

- வேறொருவரின் ரகசியப் பொருளைப் பார்ப்பது

- "மார்புகள் எதை மறைக்கிறது." (40:19) ஹராம் உணர்வுகள், ஹராம் எண்ணங்கள் மற்றும் கருத்துக்கள்

➖நபி மூஸாவின் துஆ

إِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُم مِّن كُلِّ مُتَكَبِرٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ

"நிச்சயமாக, கணக்குக் கேட்கும் நாளில் நம்பிக்கை கொள்ளாத ஒவ்வொரு ஆணவக்காரர்களிடமிருந்தும் நான் என் இறைவனிடமும், உங்கள் இறைவனிடமும் பாதுகாப்புத் தேடினேன்." (40:27)

- ஃபிர்அவ்னின் குடும்பத்தைச் சேர்ந்த விசுவாசியான மனிதரிடமிருந்து தாவா உதவிக்குறிப்புகளைக் கற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள் (பார்க்க 40:28-44)

"என் மக்களே, இவ்வுலக வாழ்க்கை தற்காலிகமானது மட்டுமே, நிச்சயமாக, மறுவுலகம் தான் (நிரந்தர தீர்வுக்கான வீடு." (40:39)

அல்லாஹ்வின் ஆயத்தை மறுக்காதீர்கள் SWT. மக்கள் ஏன் தகராறு செய்கிறார்கள்? காரணம் அவர்களின் உள்ளத்தில் உள்ள பெருமை. எனவே அல்லாஹ்விடம் பாதுகாப்பு தேடுங்கள் SWT.

- "மற்றும் பார்வையற்றோரும் பார்வையுடையோரும் சமமானவர்கள் அல்ல, நம்பிக்கை கொண்டு நற்செயல்கள் செய்பவர்களும், தீமை செய்பவர்களும் சமமானவர்கள் அல்ல. நீங்கள் சிறிதும் நினைவில் கொள்வதில்லை." (40:58)

நம்பிக்கை மற்றும் நற்செயல்களைச் செய்பவர்கள் மற்றும் எந்த முயற்சியும் செய்யாமல் ஜன்னாவில் நுழைய "விரும்புபவர்கள்" என்று பொருள்.

அல்லாஹ்வைத் தவிர வணக்கத்திற்கு தகுதியானவர்கள் யாரும் இல்லை. அவரை தனியாக அழைக்கவும். அவரைக் காட்டிக் கொள்ளாமல் நீதியான செயல்களைச் செய்யுங்கள். அவரை விட அதிகமாக யாரையும் நேசிக்கவோ, சார்ந்திருக்கவோ கூடாது.

"அவன் என்றென்றும் வாழ்பவன்: அவனைத் தவிர வேறு தெய்வம் இல்லை, எனவே அவனைக் கூப்பிடுங்கள், மதத்தில் அவருக்கு உண்மையாக இருங்கள். [எல்லாப்] புகழும் அகிலங்களின் இறைவனாகிய அல்லாஹ்வுக்கே." (40:65)

-அல்லாஹ் SWT ஒரு விஷயத்தை முடிவு செய்யும் போது அவர் சொல்ல வேண்டியது எல்லாம் "குன்" தான். அவரால் முடியாதது எதுவுமில்லை. உங்கள் துஆக்களை மேம்படுத்துங்கள்.

➖சூரா ஃபுசிலட்

-குர்ஆன் அரபு மொழியில் வெளிப்படுத்தப்பட்டது, எனவே மொழியைக் கற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள்

- விருப்பத்துடன் அல்லது விருப்பமின்றி அல்லாஹ்விடம் வருமாறு கட்டளையிடப்பட்ட போது, ​​"நாங்கள் விருப்பத்துடன் வந்துள்ளோம்" என்று கூறினார். (41:11)

அல்லாஹ்விடம் எப்படி செல்வது? விருப்பத்துடன் அல்லது விருப்பமின்றி? இந்த கேள்விக்கான பதில் எங்கள் பிரார்த்தனையில் உள்ளது. தொழுகைக்கான அழைப்பிற்கு நாம் எவ்வளவு விரைவாக பதிலளிக்கிறோம்.

ஒரே அழைப்பில் அல்லாஹ்வுக்க�� அடிபணிந்து, நாம் வெளிப்படையாகப் பாவங்களைச் செய்யும் போது, ​​பூமி நம்மை விழுங்க விரும்பாதா?

நாம் என்ன செய்து கொண்டிருந்தோம் என்று நம் தோல் நமக்கு எதிராக சாட்சியமளிக்கும் (பார்க்க 41:20)

எங்கள் காதுகள்.... அவள் ஹராம் கேட்க என்னைப் பயன்படுத்தினாள்

எங்கள் கண்கள்.....அவள் என்னை ஹராம் பார்க்க பயன்படுத்தினாள்

அவள் என்னை ஹராம் செய்ய பயன்படுத்தினாள்

அல்லாஹ் SWTக்கு கீழ்ப்படியாத போது இதை நினைவில் கொள்ளுங்கள்

-குர்ஆன் ஓதப்படும் போது அல்லது நீங்கள் ஒரு மதக் கூட்டத்தில், விரிவுரையாக இருந்தாலும் அல்லது மசூதியாக இருந்தாலும் சத்தம் போடாதீர்கள்.

-அல்லாஹ் SWT பற்றி பேசுவது சிறந்த பேச்சு, மக்களை அல்லாஹ்விடம் அழைப்பது

அல்லாஹ் SWT க்கு மக்களை அழைக்க உங்கள் திறமைகளைப் பயன்படுத்தவும். உங்கள் எழுதும் திறன், பேசும் திறன் போன்றவை.

"அல்லாஹ்வை அழைத்து நற்செயல்கள் செய்து "நிச்சயமாக நான் முஸ்லிம்களில் ஒருவன்" என்று கூறுபவரை விட பேச்சில் சிறந்தவர் யார்? (41:33)

நன்றாக பேசு

டீனில் உறுதியாக இருங்கள்

அல்லா சுவட்டிற்கு மக்களை அழைக்கவும்

நீதியான செயல்களைச் செய்

அறிவிப்பது: நீங்கள் ஒரு முஸ்லிம்

(வெளிநாடு செல்லும்போது உங்கள் பெயர், உடுத்துதல், உங்கள் வாழ்க்கை முறையை மாற்ற வேண்டாம்)

நல்ல செயல்களும் தீய செயல்களும் சமமானவை அல்ல

தீமையை நன்மையால் விரட்டுங்கள்

பகை/வெறுப்பு நெருங்கிய நட்பாக மாறும்

ஆனால் இது கடினமானது மற்றும் பொறுமை இல்லாமல் செய்ய முடியாது

பிரச்சனை எங்களிடம் உள்ளது, உங்கள் நாவையும் எண்ணங்களையும் கட்டுப்படுத்துங்கள்

பிறரைப் பற்றி நன்றாக சிந்தியுங்கள், நல்ல செயல்களைச் செய்யும் நேர்மையாளர்களுடன் இருங்கள், நல்லது செய்ய உங்களை ஊக்குவிக்கவும்

ஷைத்தான் உங்களை இதைச் செய்ய அனுமதிக்க மாட்டார்

திரும்பி வந்து உங்களிடம் கிசுகிசுப்பார்,

"அவளை எப்படி மன்னிக்க முடியும்?" "நீ எப்படி அவனிடம் நல்லவனாக இருக்க முடியும்?" "அவள் உன்னிடம் என்ன சொன்னாள் என்பது நினைவிருக்கிறதா?"

அவரது கிசுகிசுக்களுக்கு கவனம் செலுத்த வேண்டாம்

துஆ செய்யுங்கள்

அல்லாஹ்விடம் அடைக்கலம் தேடுங்கள்.

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS!

Bismillahi-Rahmanir-Raheem, بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

Rabbishrah lee sadree wa yassirlee amree wahlul ‘uqdatum-mil-lithaanee, yafqahoo qawlee.

رب اشرح لی صدری و یسرلی امری واحلل عقدة من لسانی یفقھوا قولی 

Amma ba’d اما بعد,

CONGRATULATIONS

! 

A MIRACLE HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. BY THE GRACE OF ALLAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA), CAPTAIN IMRAN KHAN AND HIS TEAM HAVE WON, WITH FULL SUPPORT FROM MILLIONS OF SELFLESS, DEDICATED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN, WHO ARE DEVOTED TO HIS MISSION IN LIFE, ALL OVER PAKISTAN AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

All Praises are due to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) Alone. Al-Hamdo lillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen الحمد للہ رب العالمین. May Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) bless them all, one and all, young and old, men, women and children, Ameen آمین, and reward all of them with the best of everything in both the words, Thumma Ameen 

Bravo to Captain Imran Khan and his team, who worked hard with commitment and Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) and with sheer faith in Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), Laa ilaaha illAllah لا الا الله, a commitment to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), and a sincere promise not to beg from anyone else and bow to anyone but God Almighty, Iyyaka wa iyyaka nast’aeen إياك نعبد و إياك نستعين.

God loves those who are steadfast” – Holy Qur'an Surah Al-e-‘Imran, 3, Ayah 146)

Say: "O My slaves who believe, be afraid of your Lord (Allah) and keep your duty to Him. Good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world, and Allah's earth is spacious! Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without reckoning.” Surah Az-Zumar, 39, Ayah 10.

Because of Yaqeen Muhkam یقیں محکم , ’Amal Paiham عمل پیہم, and Muhabbat محبت for the world, he has won the hearts of Muslim children, women and old people all over the world as their beloved leader. Thanks to Allah, the only ONE, Who gave victory to H.E. Imran Khan and his team of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) پاکستان تحریک انصاف. 

God Almighty proved beyond a shadow of doubt that if you obey Me, have faith in Me, and trust Me, I will keep you steadfast and remove any obstacle in your marathon run of thirty (30) years to victory both as a good Captain and as a Leader, who can prove to the whole world that he is a unique and one of a kind LEADER par excellence of the Islamic World, In shaa Allah!

The good news for the whole world of Islam is the Imran Khan is going to come back soon as the New Prime Minister of New Pakistan نیا پاکستان, a new Raisat-e-Madinah نئی ریاست مدینہ , In shaa Allah. 

It is his second coming to help the helpless, the needy, and the poor people of New Pakistan to get out of poverty and lead a decent life in the New Islamic Republic of Pakistan, just like in any other developed country anywhere in the world. It is just the beginning of a new coming and you haven't seen nothing yet.

Allahu (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) is going to make him the nex Prime Minister, again, like he did before. The people of Makkah challenged Prophet Muhammad (SallAlllahu ‘alaihi wa Salllam) that how will Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) raise them again while they were be nothing but bones in the grave, Surah al-Qiyamah, 75, Ayaat 1-5.

So the answerv given to Meccans by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) was:

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَ, I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ, And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].

أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُ, Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَه, Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

Please pray two Rak’at رکعات of Salatu Hajah صلواة الحاجه on behalf of Imran Khan begging Allah (Subhanah wa Ta’ala) to give courage, wisdom and strength to Imran Khan to fulfill his promises that he made to Allah (Subhanah wa Ta’ala) in the Holy Ka’bah خانہ کعبہ in Makkah Mukarramah مکہ مکرمه , and to Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) in his Hujrah Mubarak حجرہ مبارک in Masjid-e-Nabwi مسجد نبوى, Madinah Munawwarah مدینہ منورہ.

As to the government officials in opposition to him, who want to get rid of him because they are jealous of his wonderful achievements inall fields of life,both here and abroad.. They badly want what the Almighty has given him, but God Almighty has written curses in their fate. They are reaping what they sowed in last thirty (30) years. May God Almighty show them the light, Ameen, and make them also good Muslims, Thumma Ameen.

Last but least, please go to the Imam امام (Khateeb خطیب) of your Mosque (Masjid) on this coming Friday and request him to pray to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) for his health, happiness and prosperity, Ameen, and grant him the courage, the wisdom, the strength and Taufiq توفیق to be the Best Prime Minister of Pakistan for all times to come, Ameen Thumma Ameen Yaa Rabbil ‘aalameen آمین ثم آمین یا رب العالمین.

Menuntut Keadilan

Kadang tak habis pikir dengan cara kita (manusia) menjalani hidupnya.

Saat susah datang ia lari ke Allah minta keadilan. Saat senang dan dalam kemudahan ia mengklaim itu usaha tanganya.

Memangnya Tuhan cuma hadir untuk menyenangkanmu? Tanpa sadar kita telah menghina Tuhan. Padahal manusia tak pernah hebat, tak pernah mampu menyelesaikan urusannya sendiri. Allahlah yang melakannya untuk kita.

Seringkali yang membuat kita bermasalah dalam kehidupan adalah cara kita menempatkan Tuhan dengan salah.

Kita alfa menyadari Tuhan pemilik alam semesta, neraka dam syurga, yang menuntun dan menjaga, yang membalas dan menguasai. Bukan hanya tempat meminta keadilan perkara duniawi yang tak ada apa-apanya ini.

Di hadapan manusia saja, keadilan diberikan jika kita tak bersalah. Bagaimana bisa meminta keadilan Tuhan sedang taat jarang-jarang, dosa menggunung, iman tambal sulam. Keadilan dalam hal mana yang layak kita gugat dan ajukan?

Maka tak layak bagi kita memintanya, sungguh yang dapat menyelamatkan kita dari keburukan-keburukan karena ulah tangan dan dosa kita adalah rahman dan rahimnya. Kasih sayang-Nya. Itu saja.

Maka ayat 2 surah Al-Fatihah itulah sebaik-baik pujian untuk-Nya. Maha pengasih dan Maha penyayang

Sebagaimana ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an tatkala menjelaskan tentang Allah yang Maha pengampun selalu di ikuti dengan Maha Penyayang. Innallaha ghofururrohim. Baik banget kan Allah ;(

Sesungguhnya Dia-lah Yang Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang. Dan kembalilah kamu kepada Tuhanmu, dan berserah dirilah kepada-Nya sebelum datang azab kepadamu kemudian kamu tidak dapat ditolong (lagi).” (QS. Az Zumar {39} : 53-54).

Kembali lah, Allah akan selalu menerima kedatanganmu. Bawalah seluruh air mata dan akui semua dosa.
