ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala The Generous and Constant Bestower of Gifts.

ASSALAMUALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAHI TA’ALA WABARAKATUH
DEAR RESPECTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ISLAM.
IT’S ANOTHER REMINDER JUST FOR THE SOUL SAKE OF ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA.

ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA IS AL-WAHHAB: The Generous & Constant Bestower of Gifts.

Think of the last time someone gave you a gift—how did you feel? A feeling of joy, love, of being special to the person from whom you received the gift, and sometimes a bit of shame if you feel you didn’t deserve it. Because, in essence, a gift isn’t given in return of anything.

One of ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala ’s Beautiful Names is al-Wahhab. The root of this word is hiba, which means a gift. And because ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala is al-Wahhab, it means that He not only gives gifts once or twice, but He constantly does so. ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala tells us in the Qur’an:

“ Do they have _ to own (and to distribute) _ the treasures of the mercy of your Powerful Lord, the Generous Grantor of gifts?”~(Noble Qur’an 38:9)

Transliteration:

[Noble Qur’an 38:9]  Am AAindahum khaza-inu rahmati rabbika alAAazeezi alwahhabi

Arabic (from right to left):

‏38:9 ام عندهم خزائن رحمة ربك العزيز الوهاب

So how do we know when ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala  has given us a gift? Rizq (sustenance) is written for us, but we have to work for it. So if in the course of our efforts, we earn $1 million, which is rizq that ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala had ordained for us. Hiba, on the other hand, is just that—a gift that was not conditioned upon your efforts. When you get a phone call from someone you love, that you felt you missed—that is hiba. When without planning, you are fortunate enough to be able to go on `umrah (the minor pilgrimage), that is hiba. When ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala brings an amazing person into your life and you are able to improve because of them, which is hiba.

NOW I AM ASKING: “Do you want to be a recipient of al-Wahhab?”

We are all recipients of the many gifts of ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala . Out of about 7 billion people in this world, He chose you to be of the ummah (community) of His Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). That in itself is a gift that we cannot thank Him enough for. If we all reflect on the many personal blessings in our lives, we cannot help but feel special to ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala. Every little gift and every huge blessing was because al-Wahhab wanted to give you, and you specifically, something.

If you want to be a companion of al-Wahhab, then remember to acknowledge His gifts, even if they seem to be minute, and to thank Him. ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala says, “And your Lord proclaimed, “If you are grateful, I will grant you much more. Should you be ungrateful, My retribution is very severe, indeed!” ~(Noble Qur’an 14:7)

Transliteration:

[Noble Qur’an 14:7]  Wa-ith taaththana rabbukum la-in shakartum laazeedannakum wala-in kafartum inna AAathabee lashadeedun

Arabic (from right to left):

‏14:7 واذ تاذن ربكم لئن شكرتم لازيدنكم ولئن كفرتم ان عذابي لشديد

 
Indeed…the more we are conscious of ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala ’s gifts to us, the more we are able to increase our love for Him, and recognize how blessed we are.

Moreover, we should use His gifts in His way and in His cause. No one likes for their gifts to be cheapened. If ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala has given you a gift, do not use it for what He dislikes. If we do that, the gift in question becomes a test that we will be held accountable for.

Finally, be a gift giver yourself. Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Give gifts, for this will increase your mutual love.” (Muslim)

THIS IS NOT HIJAB!!!

ASSALAMUALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAHI TA’ALA WABARAKATUH.

RESPECTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ISLAM.

BISMILLAHIRRAHMANIRRAHEEM……I MEAN NO HARM AND I AIM TO INSULT NOBODY HERE. I AM JUST LAMENTING AND TRYING TO REFLECT ON AND SHARE WITH MY LOVELY AND KIND HEARTED MUSLIM SISTERS IN THE CORRECT PERSPECTIVES ON THE SUBJECT OF HIJAB.
I AM INDEED LAMENTING THAT……IMMODEST DRESSING: THE ROOT OF FITNAH!!!

To women who surrender to the ugly stereotype against the Islamic modesty of Hijab, I say: You don't know what you are missing.

Now,…In your “days of ignorance” [as I now like to call them], haven’t you realized that your friends and you would bitterly discuss about how Muslim boys would look at, talk to and flirt with Muslim girls who dress in skimpy clothes, but yet, when it came to marriage, it was only innocent-looking girls clad in cloaks and scarves, who barely leave their homes unaccompanied by their parents, whom they would consider as wives. With hindsight, you often think more clearly, more fairly and rationally...and today you realise that, yes, while ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala commands us all - men and women - to lower our gazes, and while it was indeed sinful and shameful for these Muslim boys to flirt, etc with you, this does not justify the way you dressed. In other words, your dressing, too, was sinful and shameful….do you agree?

I sometimes wonder what your intentions are, in wearing these clothes [if you can really call them “clothes”], for they did not provide any comfort. To the contrary, the tight jeans, the body-suits, the sports coats...they were all uncomfortable, not only in the way they were designed to restrict movement, but also in the sense that wearing them provided no mental ease and comfort, i.e. you would always feel restless and bare wearing them.

If your friends and you were standing at a bus-stop, clad in such clothes, your hair uncovered, there would always be some hooting and honking, or wolf whistling or some sick lines from the men driving past, and while, then you would be very agitated and angry, and yes, even upset, you now have to ask yourself: If you anticipated all this uncivilized attention, if you knew that it was going to happen, then why did you dress in this manner?

Yes respected brothers & sister in Islam, ………please listen to this young sister in Islam, Aminah Rahma Robertsons 17, who has just reverted to Islam 18 months ago, when she said: “Prior to wearing the Hijab, I used to wear those tight-fitting & plunging neck-line clothes which unfortunately attract a lot of attention. How I foolishly have to segregate certain types of attention, for example I despise attention and ogling from old men, or married men, but welcome those from my fellow-students, etc who my friends and I generally found attractive. For those clothes brought me nothing but wild and sexual based attention: no peace, no comfort, I did not feel proud of them, and no, they did not bring me any protection.

This might sound stupid and illogical to some, but whenever I walked down a street, alone, clad in those clothes, I would always be afraid that someone might be following me, or might attack me, but yet, today in my cloak and scarf, I know that if were to venture out anywhere alone, out of some necessity, that fear will not be carried around with me - at least not to the extent that it was carried around in the past.

I know that in my days of ignorance, if I were to read a article like this, written by someone else, I would probably have said something like, “What nonsense! I wear my jeans, tight tops, etc for myself, not to attract the attention of any member of the opposite sex.” But that would have been my nafs speaking...or my own tendency to always try to justify every sinful thing which I was doing.

Because the truth is, the cloak and the scarf and the purdah, yes, these things I wear for myself, for my own protection from unlawful gazes, sexual harassment, for my own desire and need to be modest, but ultimately for my Creator who has Prescribed this dress for me, through His Infinite Wisdom.

But the immodest Western clothes, those I wore so that people would look at me, so that I could feel good about about them noticing me just as they noticed my friends.

I sometimes shudder at my own foolishness, at my own susceptibility to my haraam desires and to Shaitaan.

For how could I deny, question and worst of all ignore the beauty and wisdom behind the laws of my Creator?

I might have not seen it then, but I realise now how stupid it was of me to flaunt myself in front of ghair-mahram family members, friends and even total strangers.

Yes, the ones who took advantage of the way I was dressed by flirting and staring were foolish. But I was even more foolish to give them this opportunity to see me in a way that only a husband has a right to see his wife..."

INDEED ….ISLAM uplifted the status of women and granted them their just rights 1400 years ago. Islam expects women to maintain their status. By the way people usually only discuss ‘hijab’ in the context of women. However, in the Noble Qur’an, ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY first mentions ‘hijab’ for men before ‘hijab’ for the women. The Qur’an mentions in Surah Noor:

  “Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.” ~[Al-Qur’an 24:30]

The moment a man looks at a woman and if any brazen or unashamed thought comes to his mind, he should lower his gaze. The next verse of Surah Noor, says:


 “ And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons...” ~[Al-Qur’an 24:31]

According to Qur’an and Sunnah there are basically six criteria for observing hijab:

1. Extent:

The first criterion is the extent of the body that should be covered. This is different for men and women. The extent of covering obligatory on the male is to cover the body at least from the navel to the knees. For women, the extent of covering obligatory is to cover the complete body except the face and the hands up to the wrist. If they wish to, they can cover even these parts of the body. Some scholars of Islam insist that the face and the hands are part of the obligatory extent of ‘hijab’. All the remaining five criteria are the same for men and women.

2. The clothes worn should be loose and should not reveal the figure.

3. The clothes worn should not be transparent such that one can see through them.

4. The clothes worn should not be so glamorous as to attract the opposite sex.

5. The clothes worn should not resemble that of the opposite sex.

6. The clothes worn should not resemble that of the unbelievers i.e. they should not wear clothes that are specifically identities or symbols of the unbelievers’ religions.

MAY ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY GUIDES US AND STRENGTHEN OUR IMAN…AMEEN, AMEEN, AMEEN YA RABBAL ALAMEEN.

SUBHANALLAH!!! WALHAMDULILLAH! WALA ILAHA ILLALLAHU ALLAHUAKBAR!!!

"Most Influential Person In History" - Michael H. Hart

"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level."

"Everything made so much sense. This is the beauty of the Qur'an; it asks you to reflect and reason....When I read the Qur'an further, it talked about prayer, kindness and charity.

"Five to 6 million strong, Muslims in America already outnumber Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Mormons, and they are more numerous than Quakers, Unitarians, Seventh-day Adventists, Mennonites, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Christian Scientists, combined. Many demographers say Islam has overtaken Judaism as the country's second-most commonly practiced religion; others say it is in the passing lane." [JOHAN BLANK, US NEWS (7/20/98)]

"In fact, Religion experts say Islam is the second-largest religion in the United States... Islam has 5 million to 6 million members, followed by Judaism, with approximately 4.5 million..... And Islam is believed to be fastest-growing religion in the country, with half its expansion coming from new immigrants and the other half from conversions." [By ELSA C. ARNETT Knight-Ridder News Service]

"It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Quran about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from Allah, or Allah, because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God or Allah." Professor Keith Moore, one of the world’s prominent scientists of anatomy and embryology. University of Toronto, Canada]

"But Islam has a still further service to render to the cause of humanity. It stands after all nearer to the real East than Europe does, and it possesses a magnificent tradition of inter-racial understanding and cooperation. No other society has such a record of success uniting in an equality of status, of opportunity, and of endeavours so many and so various races of mankind . . . Islam has still the power to reconcile apparently irreconcilable elements of race and tradition. If ever the opposition of the great societies of East and West is to be replaced by cooperation, the mediation of Islam is an indispensable condition. In its hands lies very largely the solution of the problem with which Europe is faced in its relation with East. If they unite, the hope of a peaceful issue is immeasurably enhanced. But if Europe, by rejecting the cooperation of Islam, throws it into the arms of its rivals, the issue can only be disastrous for both." [H.A.R. Gibb, WHITHER ISLAM, London, 1932, P. 379.]

"It (Islam) replaced monkishness by manliness. It gives hope to the slave, brotherhood to mankind, and recognition of the fundamental facts of human nature." [Canon Taylor, Paper read before the Church Congress at Walverhamton, Oct. 7, 1887; Quoted by Arnoud in THE PREACHING OF ISLAM, pp. 71-72.]

The founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammed. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he? " [Lamartine, Historie de la Turquie, Paris 1854, Vol. 11 pp. 276-2727]

"If a man like Muhammed were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness." [George Bernard Shaw]
"How, for instance, can any other appeal stand against that of the Moslem who, in approaching the pagan, says to him, however obscure or degraded he may be 'Embrace the faith, and you are at once equal and a brother.' Islam knows no color line." [S. S. Leeder, VEILED MYSTERIES OF EGYPT]
I think it seems to me very, very mysterious, almost unbelievable. I really think if what you have said is true, [Professor Siaveda , He is also one of the most famous scientists in the world.]

Professor William W. Hay is one of the best known marine scientists in the United States. satellite photography and emote-sensing techniques. Professor Hay replied: I find it very interesting that this sort of information is in the ancient scripture of the Holy Quran, and I have no way of knowing where they would come from, but I think it is extremely interesting that they are there and that this work is going on to discover it, the meaning of some of the passages. Professor Hay: Well, I would think it must be the divine being!
[Professor Yushudi Kusan: Director of the Tokyo Observatory] I can say, I am very mush impressed by finding true astronomical facts in the Quran.

 [Professor Alfred Kroner who is one of the world’s most famous geologists] "Thinking about many of these questions and thinking where Muhammad came from, he was after all a bedouin. I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe,because scientists have only found out within the last few years with very complicated and advanced technological methods that this is the case.

[Dr. T.V.N. Persaud is a Professor of Anatomy and Head of the Department of Anatomy, and a professor of Pediatrics and Child Health, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He is the author or editor of 25 books, and has published over 181 scientific papers. In 1991, he received the most distinguished award presented in the field of anatomy in Canada.]

"It seems to me that Muhammad was a very ordinary man. He could not read or write. In fact, he was illiterate. We are talking about 1400 years ago. You have someone who was illiterate making profound pronouncement and statements and are amazingly accurate about scientific nature. I personally cannot see how this could be mere chance. There are too many accuracy’s and, like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind in concerning that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which led him to these statements."
Joe Leigh Simpson, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the North Western University in Chicago in the United States of America. Professor Simpson said: It follows, I think, that not only is there no conflict between genetics and religion, but in fact religion can guide science by adding revelation to some traditional scientific approaches. That there exists statements in the Quran shown by science to be valid, which supports knowledge in the Quran having been derived from Allah.

  [Professor Palmer a scientist from the U.S.] We need research into the history of early Middle Eastern oral traditions to know whether in fact such historical events have been reported. If there is no such record, it strengthens the belief that Allah transmitted through Muhammad bits of his knowledge that we have only discovered for ourselves in recent times. We look forward to a continuing dialogue on the topic of science in the Quran in the context of geology. Thank you very much.

  [Professor Tagata Tagasone, formerly Head of the Department of Anatomy and Embryology at the University of Shiang Mai in Thailand. He is now the Dean of the College of the Medicine at the University.]
From my studies and from what I have learned throughout this conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Quran 1400 years ago must be the truth, that can be proved by the scientific means. Since the Prophet Muhammad could neither read nor write, Muhammad must be a messenger who relayed this truth which was revealed to him as an enlightenment by the One Who is an Eligible Creator. This Creator must be Allah, or Allah. Therefore, I think this is the time to say ‘Laa ilaaha illallah’, that there is no Allah to worship except Allah, ‘Muhammad Rasool Allah’, Muhammad is messenger of Allah...

[Professor Armstrong, Scientist works at NASA] I am impressed that how remarkably some of the ancient writings seem to correspond to modern and recent Astronomy. There may well have to be something beyond what we understand as ordinary human experience to account for the writings that we have seen.

 [Professor Durga Rao] It is difficult to imagine that this type of knowledge was existing at that time, around 1400 years back. May be some of the things they have simple idea about, but do describe those things in great detail is very difficult. So, this is definitely not a simple human knowledge.
"No other society has such a record of success in uniting in an equality of status, of opportunity and Endeavour so many and so varied races of mankind. The great Muslim communities of Africa, India and Indonesia, perhaps also the small community in Japan, show that Islam has still the power to reconcile apparently irreconcilable elements of race and tradition. If ever the opposition of the great societies of the East and west is to be replaced by cooperation, the mediation of Islam is an indispensable condition." [H.A.R. Gibb, WHITHER ISLAM, p. 379]

The nation's claim to be a Christian country is about to meet its first challenge: the number of practising Muslims is set to overtake Anglican Christians.... There has also been a number of high-profile conversions to Islam from Christianity. These include Mike Tyson, the former world champion boxer; Chris Eubank, the British middleweight boxing champion, who has changed his name to Hamdan; and Cat Stevens, the pop musician, who calls himself Yusuf Islam.... Prince Charles courted controversy earlier this year when he reaffirmed his claim that when he succeeds the throne, he does not wish to be the defender of only the Christian faith. [Rajeev Syal and Christopher Morgan Sunday Times (London, U.K.)]....

ADULTERY-YOU HAVE TO REALLY AVOID IT!

ASSALAMUALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAHI TA’ALA WABARAKATUH.

RESPECTED BROTHERS & SISTERS IN ISLAM

I AM REMINDING MYSELF FIRST BEFORE SHARING IT WITH YOU.
ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY says: “And come not near to unlawful sex. Verily, it is a Fahishah (i.e. anything that transgresses its limits: a great sin), and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allah forgives him).} [Noble Qur’an Surat Al-Isra’ 17:32]

{وَلَا تَقْرَ‌بُوا الزِّنَىٰ ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَسَاءَ سَبِيلًا} الإسراء: 32

Transliteration: Wala taqraboo alzzina innahu kana fahishatan wasaa sabeelan (32)

 The evil of adultery.

Adultery contains corruption for both the male adulterer and the female one. As for the female, her life becomes corrupt by this act and she loses her honor and the honor of her family. In addition, she blemishes her reputation and that of her family. Moreover, she spoils the right of her husband if she is married; she may have children who are the result of her adultery. By doing this, she is cheating her husband who will support them financially all his lifetime, not to mention that they will inherit him after his death. In addition, they will be named after him while they are not his biological children. This, in addition to many other things spoiled by the woman as a result of committing such shameful act. If the female adulterer is unmarried, she will be wasted by such act. In addition, she will lose her life; lose her honor and the honor of her family. She will defame her reputation and that of her family. By committing such disgraceful act, she has turned away men who wish to marry her. No one among those who know her acts will propose marriage for her even if he was a criminal who played with her and ruined her honor and dignity. That is because he disdains her and does not accept her as a wife for what he knows about her and her unfaithfulness. After committing the crime of adultery, the woman will lead a life of humility and shame without having a husband who protects her [from illicit acts]. In addition, she will not find someone who supplies her with sustenance. Therefore, she becomes disdained and humiliated by her family and relatives, not to mention the ruin she causes to the reputation of her sisters. This may affect their future and turn away those who wish to marry them and all this is due to her sin. As for the male, adultery increases his lust and he becomes obsessed by it. It turns him into a mad dog being lustily attached to women. He may become a reason for afflicting one of his Maharim (unmarriageable kin with whom sexual intercourse is prohibited) to commit such immoral act. This will be a punishment by ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY that his honor is disgraced as he disgraced the honor of other people. Moreover, his matter will be exposed, he will be disdained by people, and their respect to him will diminish.

The harmful effects of adultery.

Adultery has many harmful effects. Among them;

1- The loss of pedigree, and transgressing it. If just the male and the female who commit adultery knew the consequences of their crime which ends immediately, if they comprehended its consequences of the misdeeds, the false statements and the Wrath of Allah, it would have been easier for them to die and leave the world of existence instead of committing such abominable crime.

2- Adultery causes the mixing of lineage and the corruption of morals. In addition, it leads to the total ruin of the nation and causes dissension and immorality. Moreover, it causes the spread of the incurable diseases that did not exist before as the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam),said: “Immorality never appears among people to such an extent that they commit it openly, but plagues and diseases that were never known among the predecessors will spread among them.” [Reported by ibn Majah]

Undoubtedly… dear respected brothers & sisters,..Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), has been right in saying this as this age (if you care to open your eyes, heart and mind wide) witnessed a spread of many serious diseases because of the increase of adultery. This is a punishment from ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY for the people of this immorality.

3- Adultery blinds the heart, hides its light, disgraces the soul, and suppresses it. In addition, it destroys the dignity of the human in the view of ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY and of His creation. Moreover, it robs the blessing of the lifetime and weakens the feeling of glorifying ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY and fearing Him in the heart.

The proofs of forbidding adultery

ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY says: “And come not near to unlawful sex. Verily, it is a Fahishah (i.e. anything that transgresses its limits: a great sin), and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allah forgives him)”. ~[Noble Qur’an Surat Al-Isra’ 17: 32]

 ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY says: “And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, nor kill such person as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse - and whoever does this shall receive the punishment. [68]. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace;..” [Noble Qur’an Surat Al-Furqan 25:68- 69]

 Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said, "When an adulterer commits illegal sexual intercourse, then he is not a believer at the time he is doing it; and when somebody drinks an alcoholic drink, then he is not believer at the time of drinking, and when a thief steals, he is not a believer at the time when he is stealing; and when a robber robs and the people look at him, then he is not a believer at the time of doing it." Abu Huraira in another narration, narrated the same from the Prophet with the exclusion of robbery. ” ~[Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), has also said, “The blood of a Muslim may not be legally spilt other than in one of three [instances] - and he mentioned- the married person who commits adultery.” ~[Agreed upon]

The punishment for committing adultery

A mass punishment: the harm of adultery is not limited to the adulterers only. Instead, it befalls others. The wrath of ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY descends upon the people among whom adultery is spread. In addition, death spreads among them, as well. Ibn ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him and his father, narrated that Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), has said, “When usury and adultery spread out in a place, the residents of that place are (actually) bartering their doings for Allah’s punishment.” ~[Reported by Al-Hakim and classed as authentic by its transmitted chain]

That is why all Muslims should fight adultery. I repeat…all Muslims should fight adultery. They should keep away from its causes such as the wanton display of women [of ornament], the removal of the veil, intermixing between males and females, singing, dissolute magazines, mean films and television series which call for every immorality and vice.

The individual punishment: it is to implement the major penalty over the male adulterer and the female one. If they are [previously] married (to other spouses than those they committed adultery with), they will be killed by throwing stones at them till they die. This is in order to feel the pain in every part of their bodies as they felt the lustrous pleasure by them. Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), said, “The child belongs to the bed, and the adulterer should be stoned.” ~[Reported By Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

 If they are unmarried, they should be lashed with a hundred lashes by the severest means of lashing to hold them back from getting pleasure by what is forbidden. In addition, this will disclose their sins in front of people not to mention defaming them.

However, if the adulterers escaped from the punishment of this worldly life and did not repent, they will have a painful punishment in the Hereafter. Al-Bukhari reported that Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), has said, “Last night, two persons (angels) came to me and said to me, ‘Proceed!’ So we proceeded and came across a pit, something like a Tannur (a kind of baking oven, a pit usually clay-lined for baking bread). It has a narrow top and a wide bottom, and the fire was kindling underneath that hole. Whenever the fire-flame went up, the people were lifted up to such an extent that they were about to get out of it, and whenever the fire got quieter, the people went down into it, and there were naked men and women in it. I asked, ‘Who are these?’ They said, ‘Those naked men and women are the adulterers and the adulteresses.”

This is only the torture of the grave, however, as for the Hereafter, their torment will be severe as they will be tortured in a valley [in Hellfire] called ‘Athama. It is one of the major valleys in Hellfire; we seek refuge in Allah from it. ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY says: “And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, nor kill such person as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse - and whoever does this shall receive the punishment. [68]. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace} [Noble Qur’an Surat Al-Furqan 25:68- 69]

 The adulterer shares the polytheist and the killer in the same kind of torture, may ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY forbid us! So, I am asking you,…is it reasonable for a sane man- after knowing all this- to make himself subject to such torture for the sake of a temporary lust? The enjoyment of such a lust goes quickly and the torture caused by it lasts forever!

O you who betrayed the honors of women, O you who transgressed it and sought corruption on earth, you should know that the sense of honor is among the traits of men. It is from the morals of the nobles, the branches of faith and among the requisites of “You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).” So, where is the sense of honor for the one who transgresses the honors of people? How many times have you spoiled the relationship between a woman and her husband?! How many times have you caused a girl to be imprisoned behind the walls of her home after you have slaughtered her chastity and wasted her honor and the honor of her family?! By this, she has harmed her reputation and the reputation of her family. O how far you are from the sense of honor in guarding your unmarriageable female kin! The one who abuses the honors of the unmarriageable female kin of people does not have a sense of honor towards his kin. However, his kin may be afflicted by someone who abuses them as a punishment for him. It is said, “As you do, it will be done with you.” Na’udzubillah….

I ask myself and you, by ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY , do you approve adultery for your mother? Or that anyone speaks with her and manipulates her feelings? If you do not like it for your mother, people do not like it for their mothers, as well. If you do not like it for you sister, your daughter, your parental or maternal aunts, people do not like it for their sisters, daughters, parental or maternal aunts, too. Is your honor forbidden for people while theirs is lawful for you? Do you not wish to save your mother and sisters from being afflicted with what you have done with the unmarriageable relatives of other people? Do you not want to save your daughter and your wife to be dealt with the same as you have done with the daughters of people?

O you woman! O you who violated your honor and the honor of your husband and that of your family by committing adultery! You have put your honor in the mud and brought it down to the lowest levels. You spoiled your life and the life of your family. You harmed your reputation and the reputation of your family for the sake of a temporary lust or a perishing pleasure of life. Have you no fear of ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY? How did your soul obey you to do such an abominable vice?

Where is your bashfulness?
Where has your brain gone?
Have you thought of the torment of ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY?
Have you thought of the consequence of this act in this worldly life and in the Hereafter?

Have you thought of the slander in this life, not to mention the Hereafter?
Have you thought of the situation of your family, husband, and sons and their scandal among people if your matter is revealed?

Have you thought of the disgrace that will hit them? Have you thought what will be their conditions after that?
How will they face people while you have blackened their face by such crime?

Your death or your killing will be much easier for them than you committing such a vice. So, fear ALLAH, return unto Him in repentance, and keep away from such shameful act before your matter is revealed or before you die on a state of determination on committing such a monstrous immorality.

 Finally,…O you who are afflicted with adultery whether males or females! Know that ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY sees you, so; beware not to consider Him the easiest One seeing you or knowing your matters. Do not let such animal lust and such transient pleasure make you forget the Greatness of your Lord and that He sees you. You cannot do such abominable immorality in front of any human even if he is a very young child. Unfortunately, you commit it before the Most High, the Grand, the One who has the Supreme Power over the heavens and the earth. Where is the glorification of ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY in your hearts? Where is the truthfulness of your faith? Where is your response for the Compassionate? Have you not felt the Greatness of the Supreme Power? Do you not fear the wrath of the Irresistible?

Have you forgotten death and its intoxication, the grave and its darkness and the call to account and its severity? Have you forgotten Hellfire, and what it contains of torment? There are great terrors before you which no one knows its greatness except Allah. You will have no power against them and you will not be able to bear them. Accordingly, do not allow this transient lust to make you forget all these terrors that are waiting for you. Do not allow it to make you forget the Greatness of your Lord or make you forget your final destiny. By ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY, you are too weak to bear just a little bit of the torment of ALLAH, so; do not go on disobeying Him. By ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY, all the pleasures of this worldly life do not equal one squeeze of those of the grave. Then, what about the torment that follows it? By ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY, there is no good in a desire that leads to Hellfire and destruction. So, return to ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY in repentance before you are not able to repent and before you regret at a time when no regret will benefit you.

May ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY guide you and us to what He likes and what He is satisfied with and may He make all of us among those who listen to speech and follow the best of it!

ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY knows best.

Islam will never fall !!

ASSALAMU 'ALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAHI TA’ALA WABARAKATUH.

DEAR RESPECTED BROTHERS & SISTERS IN ISLAM.

INDEED...."The West is worried about the Islamic bomb. They are worried about the Muslim Arabs getting hold of nuclear weapons. They fail to realise that the Islamic bomb has already been dropped. It fell the day Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born" ~from the book by Dr. Pierson an American author./////////

Islam is the True and Perfect religion. And that is what ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY states precisely about Islam:
[Noble Qur'an 5:3]  Forbidden for you (to eat) are (unslaughtered) dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine and animals slaughtered in the name of beings other than Allah. (Also forbidden are) animals that die as a result of strangulation, violent blows or fall from a height, as well as animals gored to death or (partially) eaten by wild beasts _ unless you salvage (and slaughter) them (before they die). Also forbidden are animals slaughtered before idols, altars and monuments (dedicated to beings other than Allah) as well as meat distributed by resorting to raffle. These are sins. Today, the unbelievers have given up hope about (wishing) your faith (away). Do not fear them; fear me! I have this day perfected your way of life for you, and I have completed My favor upon you. I have chosen Islam _ (submission) _ to be your religion. If one is compelled by hunger (to eat the forbidden food) _ and not by a desire to deviate and debauch _ then of course Allah is the most Forgiving and the most Merciful.

[Noble Qur’an 12:40] “What you worship besides Allah are merely names that you and your fore-fathers have made up! Allah has not sent down any sanction for it! Allah, alone, has the authority! He has commanded that you do not worship anyone else besides Him! This is the established permanent way! But most people do not know!”

[Noble Qur’an 30:30] Therefore, forsaking all else stay firm on this religion. It suits the innate character and the very instincts with which Allah has created the human kind. Let there be no violation of the natural laws of Allah. This is the straight and true religion! But most people do not know!

According to CIA World's Facts Book estimate of 2008 , number of Muslims is over 1.630 billion. Please visit this link>>>https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/

Islam is indeed the fastest growing religion in the World. To this fact the media has again managed to attach a negative stigma. It claims that this spread has taken place in the Third World, and in deprived communities in the West, such as the black people in the inner-city areas of Britain and the USA.

It is therefore, according to them, isolated phenomena amongst people of lower standing in the larger community, which does not affect the majority of those in the West. Such a presentation is again untrue. Although it does appeal to the sections of the community mentioned above (who are just as important as any other section), Islam appeals to many different people from many different walks of life.

 Islam is able to provide satisfactory answers to every question posed by the individual, and thus provides them with total peace of mind; something which we Muslims would argue no other religion can provide. Islam's appeal is universal, where testaments are given by people of many different professions (Lords and Barons, statesman, diplomats, scientists, doctors, scholars, writers, social workers, preachers) from all over the World (England, the USA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Holland, Australia, Japan, Poland, Canada, Ireland, Sweden) as to why they chose to convert to Islam. Importantly, within these people are also women. So I am asking: If Islam is the misogynistic religion which the media claims it is, then this conversion to Islam by women brought up in the West would not make any sense. This supports our claim that the debate within the media regarding Muslim women is indeed an unfair one.

Anyway…dear respected Muslim brothers and sisters I am indeed reminding myself and all of us that we should not sit on our laurels and bask in our glory due to the phenomenal growth of Islam worldwide that has startled the unbelievers off their seats but to continue holding tight to the rope of ALLAH the Almighty, keep our salat, strengthen our eeman, preserve our deen and remain united in the formidable fortress of Muslim Ummah.........as on the authority of Thawbaan , the Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "The People will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their food." Someone asked, "Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?" He replied, "No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be froth and scum like that carried down by a torrent (of water), and Allah will take the fear (respect) of you from the breasts (hearts) of your enemy and cast Al-wahn into your hearts." Someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is al-wahn?" He replied, "Love of the world and dislike of death."~[An authentic Hadith recorded by Abu Dawud and Ahmad]

"Verily, Allah will never change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves." [Noble Qur'an, Surah Ar-Ra'd:11]

May ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY help us all, and return Muslims to their past glory…Ameen, amen, amen ya Rabbal Alameen.

Lets this takbeer be heard loud and clear, to all and sundry, far and wide all over the world.......
