40. That every individual among the sons of Aadam has a jinn who has been appointed to be his constant companion (qareen). We know that he is with us so we should beware of him as much as possible.”
41. The Shaytaan who is the disbelieving jinn could take control of a person when he is about to depart this world, and
misguide him or stop him from repenting…” The way to save oneself from this is to remember Allaah and speak
His Name at the beginning of all things, & recite Surahs 2:(255), 113 & 114..
42. That Iblees is one of the jinn and not one of the angels. “… Verily he [Shaytaan] and his qabeeluhu [his
soldiers from the jinn or his tribe] see you from where you cannot see them…” [al-A’raaf 7:27]
Because the jinn can see us while we cannot see them.
43. The jinn live on this earth where we do. They are mostly to be found in ruins and unclean places like
bathrooms, dunghills, garbage dumps and graveyards. The jinn were created from fire.
44. That if a Mushrikoon dies, (e.g.-those who worship graves etc.,) it is not permissible to walk in their
funeral procession, or to pray over him, or to make du’aa’ and seek forgiveness for him, or to perform
Hajj on his behalf or give charity on his behalf .( 9:113].
45. That in festivals of the kuffaar - It is not permissible under any circumstances to take the
strength of the kuffaar and the weakness of the Muslims as an excuse for imitating and
resembling them, as some hypocrites and defeatist Muslims claim.

“Whoever imitates a people is one of them”.It is haraam to imitate them, even if it is only
in external appearance. They are imitating in everything, major or minor, in the name of development,
progress and civilization, under the banners of peaceful coexistence, human brotherhood, new world
order, globalization and other dazzling but deceitful slogans. Allah commanded us to adhere firmly
to Islam no matter how many people deviate from it and no matter how strong they become.

46. That Islam lays so much stress on sense of discipline, which of us is willing to follow the directions of
the chosen Prophet of Allah?
"What a bad servant [of the Lord] is he! I am speaking of a servant who fits the following description:
1. He asks for forgiveness (maghfirah), while he is actively engaged in sinful disobedience (ma'siya).
2. He behaves in a humbly submissive manner, so that he may be credited with loyalty (amana), but he is
only pretending, to hide his disloyalty (khiyanah).
3. He forbids what is wrong, but does not refrain from it himself.
4. He enjoins what is right, but does not act upon his own instructions.
5. If he gives, he does so very stingily, and if he withholds, he offers no apology.
6. If he is in the best of health, he feels secure, but if he falls sick, he becomes remorseful.
7. If he is impoverished, he feels sad, and if he gets rich, he is subject to temptation.
8. He hopes for salvation, but does not act accordingly.
9. He is afraid of punishment, but takes no precautions against it.
10. He wishes to receive more benefit, but he does not give thanks [for what he has received].
11. He likes the idea of spiritual reward, but he does not practice patience.
12. He expedites sleep and postpones fasting" (Al-Hasan Al-Basri ) From Ghunyat-ut-Talibeen of Shaikh
'Abdul-Qaadir al-Jeelaani (rahimahullaah)

Then - Strive together (as in a Race) towards all that is GOOD wheresoever ye are, (2:148)
2:152 - Then do ye remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me and reject not faith. 156
2:186 - When my servants ask thee concerning Me I am indeed close (to them); I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me; let them also with a will listen to My call and believe in Me; that they may walk in the right way. 194
2:177 - It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces toward East or West; but it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day and the Angels and the Book and the Messengers;
to spend of your substance out of love for Him for your kin for orphans for the needy for the wayfarer for those who ask and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made;
and to be firm and patient in pain (or suffering) and adversity and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth the Allah-fearing.
177 As if to emphasise again a warning against deadening formalism, we are given a beautiful description of the righteous and God-fearing man. He should obey salutary regulation, but he should fix his gaze on the love of God and the love of his fellow-men. We are given four heads: (1) our faith should be true and sincere; (2) we must be prepared to show it in deeds of charity to our fellowmen; (3) we must be good citizens, supporting social organisation; and (4) our own individual soul must be firm and unshaken in all circumstances. They are interconnected, and yet can be viewed separately. (2.177)
178 Faith is not merely a matter of words. We must realise the presence and goodness of God. When we do so, the scales fall from our eyes: all the falsities and fleeting nature of the Present cease to enslave us, for we see the Last Day as if it were today. We also see God's working in His world and in us; His Powers (angels), His Messengers and His Message are no longer remote from us, but come within our experience. (2.177)
179 Practical deeds of charity are of value when they proceed from love, and from no other motive. In this respect, also, our duties take various forms, which are shown in reasonable gradation: our kith and kin; orphans (including any persons who are without support or help); people who are in real need but who never ask (it is our duty to find them out, and they come before those who ask); the stranger, who is entitled to laws of hospitality; the people who ask and are entitled to ask, i.e., not merely lazy beggars, but those who seek our assistance in some form or another (it is our duty to respond to them); and the slaves (we must do all we can to give or buy their freedom). Slavery has many insidious forms, and all are included. (2.177)
2:174 - Those who conceal Allah's revelations in the Book and purchase for them a miserable profit they swallow into themselves naught but fire; Allah will not address them on the Day of Resurrection nor purify them; grievous will be their penalty . 175
2:175- They are the ones who buy error in place of guidance and torment in place of forgiveness. Ah! what boldness (they show) for the Fire!
2:176 - (Their doom is) because Allah sent down the Book in truth but those who seek causes of dispute in the Boook are in a schism far (from the purpose). 176

ARE THEY SEEKING IBADAH ?

WHY CELEBRATE PROPHET’S BIRTHDAY

Go through the names of email group members and you will easily identify those for it and those against it.

In doing so, you will at a glance identify the group who is deliberating on this issue of celebration very vigorously.

What are they trying to achieve by such means.?

Is it to make Islam more popular or make financial gains by such means, or

As they say SEEKING BARAKAH. ( prosperity, good health. peace, avoid punishments in graves, attain firdouse, etc.,)

So – We take the case of seeking barakah- expecting that the Prophet would grant them favours through Allah. Isn’t it ? This is what they profess.

Now the question arises whether this is the correct way. The best way to find an answer to this is to refer to the QURAN ! Leave everything aside and see what the Quran has to say about this. Hence let me start quoting some Surahs from the Quran. Sure, there cannot be any disputes, or disagreements over them.

. Any action (of worship) which is performed without the command of
Allaah or His Messenger (sallallaahu-alahi-wasallam) will be
rejected. Any action which is performed in a manner other than that of
Messenger (sallallaahu-alaihi-wasallam) will be rejected.

Surah Az-Zumar 39:36 - Is not Allah enough for His servant? But they try to frighten thee with other (gods) besides him! For such as Allah leaves to stray there can be no guide. 4296

4296 The righteous man will find Allah enough for all the protection he needs, all the rest and peace he craves for, and all the happiness he can imagine. If Satans wish to frighten him with false gods, he knows that that is mere superstition. In the case of idols to whom worship is paid, this is easily intelligible. But there are other false gods which men worship,-wealth, position, power, science, selfish desire, and so on. The idea may occur to them: "this is the right course, but what will men say?" or "shall I lose my case if I tell the truth?" or "will it ruin my chances if I denounce sin in high places?" All such false gods will only mislead and leave their victims in the lurch. The worship of them will lose them the Mercy of Allah, which wants to guide and comfort all who seek Allah. (39.36)

[Yusufali 22:73] O men! Here is a parable set forth! listen to it! Those on whom, besides Allah, ye call, cannot create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! and if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. Feeble are those who petition and those whom they petition!

Surah Al-Baqara - 2:186 - When my servants ask thee concerning Me I am indeed close (to them); I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me; let them also with a will listen to My call and believe in Me; that they may walk in the right way. 194

2:214 - Ah! verily the help of Allah is (always) near!

Surah Al-Anfal - 8:40 - Allah is your protector the best to protect and the best to help.

Surah Al-Israa - 17:56 - Say: "Call on those besides Him whom ye fancy: they have neither the power to remove your troubles from you nor to change them." 2242

2242 Men's suspicions of each or of the prophets have been condemned in the previous verses. We now have the strongest condemnation of all, that of imagining any other being as being equal or in the same category with One true God. Allah has all power: they have no power. They cannot remove men's troubles. They cannot even mitigate or change them so as to afford the least relief. Why indulge in false worship? (17.56)

Surah Al-Israa 17:57 - Those whom they call upon do desire (for themselves) means of access to their Lord even those who are nearest: they hope for His Mercy and fear His Wrath: for the Wrath of thy Lord is something to take heed of. 2243

2243 Where men or heroes, or prophets or angels are worshipped, the worship is futile; because (1) even if they are good and holy, and ever so near to Allah, yet the nearest of them have need to seek means of access to Allah, and they do seek such means, viz.: the hope of Allah's Grace; (2) though by their very nature it is impossible for us to suppose that they will incur the Wrath of Allah, yet they are but creatures and are subject to the law of personal responsibility. (17.57)

But the Quran says :this about the Prophet: “Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.”

Surah Al-Gashiya - 88:21- 22 - Therefore do thou give admonition for thou art one to admonish.

Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 6107

6107 The Prophet of Allah is sent to teach and direct people on the way. He is not sent to force their will, or to punish them, except in so far as he may receive authority to do so. Punishment belongs to Allah alone. And Punishment is certain in the Hereafter, when true values will be restored. (88.22)

Surah Al-Kahf -18:110 - Say: "I am but a man like yourselves (but) the inspiration has come to me that your Allah is one Allah: whoever expects to meet his Lord let him work righteousness and in the worship of his Lord admit no one as partner." 2454

Righteousness and true respect for Allah-which excludes the worship of anything else, whether idols, or deified men, or forces of nature, or faculties of man, or Self-these are the criteria of true worship. (18.110)

Surah Al-Mu'min - 40.60 – And your Lord says: "Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer): But those who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find themselves in Hell in humiliation!" 4434

4434 As this life is not the end of all things, and we are to have its fulfilment in the Hereafter: we have only to pray to the Lord of the Present and the Hereafter, and He will hear us, forgive us, guide us, and make our Path smooth. But Pride will have its fall,-and its humiliating Punishment: 18. (40.60)

Surah Al-Hajj -22.78 - hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector the Best to protect and the Best to help!

Surah Al-i'Imran -3:80 - Nor would he instruct you to take angels and prophets for Lords and Patrons. What! Would he bid you to unbelief after ye have bowed your will (to Allah in Islam)? Surah Saba -34.22 - Say: "Call upon other (gods) whom ye fancy besides Allah: they have no power not the weight of an atom in the heavens or on earth; no (sort of) share have they therein nor is any of them a helper to Allah

Surah Az-Zumar -39.43 - What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have no power whatever and no intelligence?

Surah Ha-Mim -41.40 - Those who pervert the Truth in Our Signs are not hidden from Us. Which is better? He that is cast into the Fire or he that comes safe through on the Day of Judgement? Do what ye will: Verily He seeth (clearly) all that ye do. 4512

4310 - Let alone worship, men should not rely upon any power or person other than Allah to help them out or intercede for them. When it is idols, they are poor lifeless things which have obviously neither power nor intelligence. But even prophets or saints or heroes have no power to intercede except as Allah wills and permits.

Surah Al-A'raf - 7.192 - No aid can they give them nor can they aid themselves!

Surah Al-An'am -6:148 - Those who give partners to Allah will say "If Allah had wished we should not have given partners to Him nor would our father; nor should we have had any taboos." So did their ancestors argue falsely until they tasted of Our wrath. Say: "Have ye any (certain) Knowledge? If so produce it before us. Ye follow nothing but conjecture: Ye do nothing but lie." 972

Surah Al-Maida --5:119 - Allah will say: "This is a day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens with rivers flowing beneath their eternal home: Allah well-pleased with them and they with Allah: that is the great Salvation (the fulfillment of all desires). 833

Surah Al-Ankabut - 29:55- On the Day that the Punishment shall cover them from above them and from below them and (a Voice) shall say: "Taste ye (the fruits) of your deeds!" 3487 3488

3488 This is not merely a reproach, but a justification of the Punishment. "It is you who brought it on yourselves by your evil deeds: blame none but yourselves. Allah's Mercy gave you many chances: His Justice has now overtaken you!" (29.55)

Surah As-Sajda - 32:13 If We had so willed We could certainly have brought every soul its true guidance: but the Word from Me will come true. "I will fill Hell with Jinns and men all together." 3644 3645

3644 - Could evil have been avoided? Certainly everything is in Allah's power. If it had been His Will and Plan, He could have created a world in which there would have been no choice or will in any of His creatures. But that was not His Will and Plan. In the world as we see it, man has a certain amount of choice and free-will. That being so, He has provided Signs and means of instruction for man, in order that man's will may be straight and pure.

A necessary corollary will be Punishment for the infraction of His Law. That Punishment must come to pass, for Allah's Word is true and must be fulfilled. (32.13)

Shouldn’t we avoid introducing innovations into the religion so as to avoid Allah’s wrath. The world is now in turmoil .

A purge has to be made now, as the great Flood made it.

ARE THERE ANY TO KEEP COMPANY ?

ARE THERE ANY ? ARE THERE ANY ?

To keep company ?

9:119 - O you who believe! Be afraid of Allâh, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds)^[].

Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 3659 Narrated by
Anas ibn Malik

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: That I sit in the company of the people who remember Allah the Exalted from morning prayer till the sun rises is clearer to me than that I emancipate four slaves from the children of Isra'il, and that I sit with the people who remember Allah from afternoon prayer till the sun sets is dearer to me than that I emancipate four slaves.

60:1 - O ye who believe! take not My enemies and yours as friends (or protectors) offering them (your) love even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you

5:81 - If only they had believed in Allah in the Apostle and in what hath been revealed to him never would they have taken them for friends and protectors but most of them are rebellious wrong-doers.

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 580 Narrated by
AbudDarda'

My friend (the Prophet) instructed me: Don't associate anything with Allah even though you are cut into pieces and burnt

SIT NOT:-

4:63 - [Yusufali 4:61] When it is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed, and to the Messenger": Thou seest the Hypocrites avert their faces from thee in disgust.

[Yusufali 4:62] How then, when they are seized by misfortune, because of the deeds which they hands have sent forth? Then their come to thee, swearing by Allah: "We meant no more than good-will and conciliation!"

[Yusufali 4:63] Those men,-Allah knows what is in their hearts; so keep clear of them, but admonish them, and speak to them a word to reach their very souls.

[Yusufali 23:94] "Then, O my Lord! put me not amongst the people who do wrong!"

[Yusufali 4:140] Already has He sent you Word in the Book, that when ye hear the signs of Allah held in defiance and ridicule, ye are not to sit with them unless they turn to a different theme: if ye did, ye would be like them. For Allah will collect the hypocrites and those who defy faith - all in Hell:-

[Yusufali 6:68] When thou seest men engaged in vain discourse about Our signs, turn away from them unless they turn to a different theme. If Satan ever makes thee forget, then after recollection, sit not thou in the company of those who do wrong.

[Yusufali 3:118] O ye who believe! Take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks: They will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: Rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths: What their hearts conceal is far worse. We have made plain to you the Signs, if ye have wisdom.

ARE THERE ANY ?

Thou enduest with honor whom thou pleasest and

Thou bringest low whom Thou pleasest;

O Allah! In Thy hand is all Good- We submit to Your Will, make us secured and not troubled with the nature of Evil thrust upon us by the enemies of Islam as the best of Planners is You.

We must trust in Allah, and do whatever is possible for us in the interests of the young life for which we are responsible. We must not be frightened by difficulties. Allah will give us relief and provide a solution if we act with honest integrity. Cf. xciv. 5-6. (65.7)

May Allah, Praised and Exalted be He, guide us to His Way, and may He, Praised and Exalted be He, make us eligible for His pleasure, and may He, Praised and Exalted be He, make us worthy of carrying the message of His religion, and worthy of being the followers of His Prophet Mohammed, Peace and Blessing be upon him.

A Miracle

A MIRACLE ! indeed

6:61- He is the Irresistible (watching) from above over his worshippers and He sets guardians over you. . 882

882 -Guardians: most commentators understand this to mean guardian angels. The idea of guardianship is expressed in a general term. God watches over us and guards us, and provides all kinds of agencies, material, moral, and spiritual, to help our growth and development, keep us from harm, and bring us nearer to our Destiny. (6.61)

6:64- Say: "It is Allah that delivereth you from these and all (other) distresses: and yet ye worship false gods!"

8:40 - Allah is your protector the best to protect and the best to help.

47:35 -Allah is with you and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds. 4859

3:182 - for Allah never harms those who serve Him." 488

THE INCIDENT:

HE is driving his Pajero last week with 2 males and 4 children, around 12 noon, goes over 2 humps on the sandy soil, a woman tries to cross and swerves to avoid, saves her and goes off the road and hit a light post breaking the post into two and vehicle turns turtle, hood and left side smashed up, vehicle beyond recognition, at that very moment some people rush towards the vehicle and pulled out all the 6 persons one by one through one door which opened by itself, all safe and sound – alhamdulillah – all astonished to see them escape so miraculously!!

Few ladies remained back, while another waiting to join was left behind forgetfully.

The owner driver in his forties, has just returned after Hajj with his wife.

He is in the habit of donating lavishly to his poor relations and just two days prior to this departure on this trip enquired from his mother to whom he should send some donations, some extra money he had, and as directed he sent them. Similarlly some went to rehabilitate some school and so on.

His father a devout man, is in the habit of seeking Allah’s protection for his sons and daughter after Fajr for the last about 3 decades RECITING “” Allahumma Innee, awoodubika minjahidil Balaahi,watharkaiyshakaiy wasooilkalaiy washamathathilahdayi.” Among several other recitations.

Behold all these goodness – did encompass him and his family - alhamdulillah.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 8.417 Narrated by
Abu Huraira

Allah 's Apostle said, "Allah has some angels who look for those who celebrate the Praises of Allah on the roads and paths. And when they find some people celebrating the Praises of Allah, they call each other, saying, "Come to the object of your pursuit.' " He added, "Then the angels encircle them with their wings up to the sky of the world."

Yusuf Ali: C 78. – in Surah 6 Al An’am-

Allah’s loving care doth encompass us round throughout life, and delivers us from dangers by land and sea. He is the only protector.

This protection is certainly worth more than all the riches one would have.

51:50 - Hasten ye then (at once) to Allah:

Yusufali 67:2] He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed:

ARE MUSLIMS ADHERING TO THE QURAN AND THE SUNNAH / ?
Vast Majority of them are NOT !!!Yusufali 68:44] Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive not.Leaders: !! [Yusufali 6:123] Thus have We placed leaders in every town, its wicked men, to plot (and burrow) therein: but they only plot against their own souls, and they perceive it not.7:4 - How many towns have We destroyed (for their sins)? Our punishment took them on a sudden by night or while they slept for their afternoon rest.
So What Next ?
See the present trends throughout the muslim world. Turmoils, Confusions, Conflicts, spreading like wild fire, yet, not concerned ?
This is a SIGN of the approach of the Judgement Day.
Wake up- Get back to Islam - there's no other way.

20:79 - Pharaoh led his people astray instead of leading them aright.
