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.
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.
20:79 - Pharaoh led his people astray instead of leading them aright.
5:79 - Nor did they (usually) forbid one another the iniquities which they committed: evil indeed were the deeds which they did.
Then that community is doomed !

SHIRK

Shirk’ or associating another in God-head with Allah, has three main parts:
  1. Shirk in Allah’s Self
  2. Shirk in Allah’s Attributes
  3. Shirk in Allah’s Rights

Shirk in Allah’s Self:

This would be if one were to claim that Allah has a son, or has a mother, father, brothers, sisters, family, children; or to claim that someone or something created Allah! This is committing ‘shirk’ in Allah’s Self.

Shirk in Allah’s Attributes:

Allah has declared 99 of His attributes in the Glorious Quran, and Allah Alone knows how many more there are. For example, Allah is the ‘Al Aleem’ (The All Knowing). He Alone is the All Knowing of the seen and the unseen! If one believes anybody else in creation knows everything, or even has the power to know everything, then one would have wrongfully elevated someone to the position of Allah’s Attributes, and that would be a clear manifestation of ‘shirk’.

Similarly, Allah is the ‘As Samee’ (The All Hearing). He Alone is the All Hearing. If one were to believe anybody else in creation hears everything, or even has the power to hear everything, then one would have wrongfully elevated someone to the position of Allah’s Attributes, and that would constitute ‘shirk’.

Similarly, Allah is the ‘Al Qader’ (The One who is Able to do all things). He Alone has the Power to do anything and everything exactly as He Plans and Wills. If one believes that anybody in creation can do whatever they want, even when Allah does not permit him, that would be ‘shirk’! Everything that happens in this world needs the precise permission of Allah Subhanah… only when He Wills and Permits can a thing happen.

Shirk in Allah’s Rights:

The biggest Right of Allah is that being our Creator and our Sustainer, He Alone deserves our invocation and our worship. This is absolutely the biggest Right of Allah Subhanah. If one shares even an iota of this Right which is due to Allah Subhanah with anyone or anything else in creation, it would constitute ‘shirk’! If anyone invokes or calls upon anyone or anything other than Allah Subhanah in the unseen……any person, any idol, any grave, any shrine, anything… and invokes them in the unseen to fulfill their prayers or their desires, that would be a clear manifestation of the heinious crime of ‘Shirk’! Allah Alone deserves that we pray to Him, call upon Him, serve Him, sacrifice for Him, fear Him, obey His laws, follow His appointed Messengers, and obey and follow the commandments of His Revealed Book! If one does any of the above for anybody else other than Allah, then it would be ‘Shirk’.

Each and every Prophet of Allah who were sent on this earth warned mankind to save themselves from this very crime; for if one did any wrong there is a chance Allah Subhanah might forgive them….but if one were to die in the state of ‘shirk’, there is absolutely no chance of forgiveness for this one single most heinous of crimes in the Presence of the Lord Most Majestic Most Supreme in the Hereafter!

Thus it becomes our duty to recognize and be aware of ‘shirk’ and all the manifestations of this horrendous and unforgivable sin. Allow us to just give you an example of what would constitute ‘shirk’:

  • Bowing down to anybody or anything other than Allah is shirk.
  • Bowing down to any animate or inanimate object like the sun, moon, stars, idols, humans, graves, shrines, tombs, etc. is shirk.
  • Believing that the dead people in their graves can hear and answer our invocations is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody other than Allah can bring about any harm upon someone in the unseen is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody other than Allah can bring about any good upon someone in the unseen is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody other than Allah knows absolutely everything is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody other than Allah sees absolutely everything is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody other than Allah listens to one’s invocations in the unseen is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody other than Allah can help another in the unseen is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody other than Allah can guide another is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody can influence Allah to give one health is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody can influence Allah to give one wealth is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody can influence Allah to give one children is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody has any power with Allah is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody has any power with Allah to take one out of the fire of Hell is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody has any power with Allah on the Day of Judgement is shirk.
  • Believing that anybody has any power to change the decision of Allah is shirk.
  • To worship anybody or anything with Allah is shirk.
  • To invoke anybody or anything with Allah in the unseen is shirk.
  • To raise anybody to the Rank of Allah is shirk.
  • To give or share any of Allah’s Exclusive Attributes to anybody else is shirk.

To associate other beings or things with Allah Subhanah is ‘shirk’! To share any of the Exclusive Attributes of Allah Subhanah with anyone in creation is ‘shirk’! To invoke or worship anyone or anything with Allah Subhanah is ‘shirk’!

Where is the Muslim Outrage?

Mike Ghouse:
Just to remind :
See:
6:125- Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best who have strayed from His Path and who receive guidance. 2161 2162


In this wonderful passage are laid down principles of religious preaching, which are good for all time. But where are the teachers with such qualifications? We must invite all to the way of Allah, and expound His Universal Will; we must do it with wisdom and discretion, meeting people on their own ground and convincing them with illustrations from their own knowledge and experience, which may be very n arrow, or very; wide. Our preaching must be, not dogmatic, not self-regarding, not offensive, but gentle, considerate, and such as would attract their attention . Our manner and our arguments should not be acrimonious, but modeled on the most courteous and the most gracious example, so that the hearer may say; to himself, “This man not dealing merely with dialectics; he is not trying to get a rise out of me; he sincerely expounding the faith that is in him, and his motive is the love of man and the love of Allah

Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh

In the Name of Allaah, All Compassionate, All Merciful

The final fatwa of Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz warning against the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question
: Your excellency, we hear about the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh and that which their da'wah entails. So would you advise me to join this Jamaa'ah. I anticipate your guidance and advice, and may Allaah reward you immensely.

Response: Whoever invites to (the path of) Allaah, then he is a muballigh (one who conveys the message (of Islaam)), (as the hadeeth mentions):

((Convey from me, even if it be a (single) Aayah));

However, the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh (originally) from India have many deviations. They have some aspects of bid`ah and shirk, so it is not permissible to go (out) with them, except for a person who has knowledge and goes (out) with them to disapprove of what they are upon and to teach them (the truth). If, however, he goes (out) to follow and adhere to them, then no.

That is because they have deviations, mistakes and lack of knowledge. However, if there was a Jamaa'ah doing tableegh other than them, from the people of knowledge, then (it is permissible to) go out with them for daw'ah purposes.

If there was a person of knowledge who goes out with them to enlighten and guide them, along with teaching them such that they leave their falsehood and embrace the way of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah, (then that is good).

This fatwa was extracted from the tape: 'Fatwa Samaahatush-Shaykh 'Abdul 'Azeez Ibn Baaz concerning the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh' which was published in Ta'if about two years before the Shaykh's death. The tape refutes the cover-up of the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh and the old statement of the Shaykh which was published before their reality and manhaj was made clear to him.

फ्रिदय Prayers

FRIDAY PRAYERS

92:9 - And gives the lie to the Best 6165

The evil are distinguished here by 3 signs:

1). Selfish greed and denial of other people’s rights;

2). Arrogance and self-sufficiency,

3). Knowlingly dishonouring TRUTH Out of spite, or seeing ugliness where there is beauty.

Such men’s downward progress gathers momentum as theyl go, and their end can be nothing but Misery. Where will be their boasted wealth and possessions, or their self-confidence ?



3) knowingly dishonouring Truth out of spite, or seeing ugliness where there is beauty, Such men’s downward progress gathers momentum as they go, and end in misery.

98:1 - Those who reject (Truth) among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists were not going to depart (from their ways) until there should come to them Clear Evidence

As at present, most of the muslims really do not seek for the Truth, but only follow their own fancies and desires.

Thus have they deviated from the set rules in performing the Friday Prayers as in 92:9 shown above, and are getting deprived of the MAGNIFICENT REWARDS GUARANTEED BY ALLAH if this prayer is performed correctly. !

They are innovating (bid’ah) knowingly or unknowingly dishonouring the TRUTH (out of spite.)

" There is great confusion in my country in performing the Jum'ah prayers.
Some of them are:-

Saying salawat on the Prophet (sal) prior to Adhan,
Muazzin calling upon the congregation to pray two rakats of prior sunnah of Jum'ah,
They then pray two and some four rakats,
The muazzin holding a pole and saying the mahshar,
The imam on Khutbah for almost one hour,
Supplications by the imam and the congregation with raised hands and shouting ameen ,
After the completion of the 2 rakats of Jum'ah, they pray at the same place without moving, some two and some 4 rakats.etc.,


I tried to speak to Mufti Taqi Usmani to talk on this subject, but he too keeps silent for reasons better known to him. (through emails and web site: Islamhelpline .com !
