Respected Muslim Girls What Do You Try To Show By Putting Up Such Pictures As Your Dp:
"and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their women…”
[al-Noor 24:31]
Showing your body is even a greater fitnah than showing your face. Even the Ayah itself says about hiding your bodies first.
How can a Muslimah put her body on display in front of Non-Mehrams who look at their bodies with Lust? How does that feel? Would you like to see people staring at each and every part of your body?
Know your worth Muslimahs, you will have way better status than "Hoors" in Jannah, then why are you displeasing your LORD?
Stop pleasing Non-Mehrams (they will only increase your sins), Please Your Lord (You will get such a High Rank in Jannah).
"The two (sunnah) rak'ats of Fajr are more superior than the world and everything within it." (Sahih Muslims 1:251)
Reported 'Imran ibn Husain, "We went with the Messenger of Allah (saws) during the night. When the last portion of the night came, we became tired and fell asleep. We did not wake until we felt the heat of the sun. Some of us tried hurriedly to purify ourselves. The Prophet (saws) ordered us to be calm. Then we rode on until the sun had risen (completely) and we made ablution. He (saws) ordered Bilal to make the call to prayer, and then prayed two rak'ah before the (obligatory) fajr prayer.
Related by Ahmad.
Although one is only obligated and accountable for praying the five obligatory prayers, the two-rakah Sunnah before the obligatory Fajr prayers was a prayer which the Prophet (Sallalahu Alaihi Wassalam) and his noble companions never ever missed to pray…even in the situation when the ‘fajr’ had become ‘qada’.
Hadrat Hafsah (r.a.), the noble and chaste wife of the Prophet (saws) reported: "There are five (supererogatory) things that the Prophet (saws) never abandoned: fasting the day of 'Ashurah, fasting the [first] ten [days of Dhul-Hijjah], fasting three days of every month and praying two rak'ah before the dawn prayer."
Related by Ahmad and an-Nasa'i.
1) 'A'isha (radiallahu anha) said, "The Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) was not as regular in any supererogatory (nafl) prayer as he was in the two rak'ats before Fajr." (Sahih Muslim 1:251)
2) 'A'isha (radiallahu anha) said, "I did not observe the Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) hasten towards any supererogatory (nafl) prayer as fast as he would to perform the two rak'ats before Fajr." (Sahih Muslim 1:251)
3) 'A'isha (radiallahu anha) reports that the Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "The two (sunnah) rak'ats of Fajr are more superior than the world and everything within it." (Sahih Muslims 1:251)
4) 'A'isha (radiallahu anha) reports that the Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) said regarding the two (sunnah) rak'ats at the break of dawn, "They are more beloved to me than the enitre world." (Sahih Muslim 1:251)
5) Abu Hurayra (radiallahu anh) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "Do not abandon the sunnah rak'ats of Fajr, even if horses trample over you." (Sunan Abu Dawud 1:186, Athar al-Sunan 1:224)
All the above hadiths explain the significance of and emphasis placed on the sunnah prayer of Fajr. Since the sunnah rak'ats of other prayers are not as greatly emphasized as the sunnah of Fajr, they are treated differently.
The Companions (Sahabah - radiallahu anhum) And Followers (Tabi'een - rahmatullahi alaihim) On This Issue
There are also many other rigorously authenticated hadiths which confirm that the Companions of the Messenger (salallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) would attempt to complete their sunnah prayer prior to joining the congregational fard prayer of Fajr if it had already commenced.
1) Imam Tahawi reports from Nafi': "I wakened Ibn 'Umar (radiallahu anhuma) for the Fajr prayer, while the prayer had already commenced. He arose and performed the two rak'ats (sunnah) first." (Sharh Ma'ani al-Athar 1:375)
2) Abu Ishaq says, "'Abdullah ibn Abu Musa related to me from his father regarding the time Sa'id ibn al-'As called them. He had called Abu Musa, Hadhayfa, and 'Abullah ibn Mas'ud (radiallahu anhum) before the Fajr prayer. When they departed from him, the congregation had already begun, so 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (radiallahu anh) positioned himself behind a pillar in the masjid and perfomed two rak'ats sunnah first, then joined the congregation." (Sharh Ma'ani al-Athar 1:374)
So the Narrations show that The Sunnah Of Fajr Prayer was never missed by Our Prophet Sallalahu alaihi Wassalam and Our Sahaba RadiAllahu Anhum but the Qada sunnah of the rest of the prayers are not confirmed by any Narration. As the Sunnahs are not obligatory its up to you to perform its Qada or Not but according to the opinion of Most of the scholars A Person should only make up His Fardh in Qada Prayers.
The First Night In The Grave:
=========================
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "When the dead person is buried two black-blue angels come to him, one called al-Munkar and the other called an-Nakeer, and they say to him: 'What had you used to say about this man?' So he says what he used to say: 'Allah's slave and His Messenger, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.' So they say: 'Verily we knew that you (would) say that.' Then his grave is widened for him to the extent of seventy cubits by seventy, then it is made light for him, then it is said: ' Sleep.' So he says: 'I should go to my family and inform them.' So they say: 'Sleep as the newly married sleeps whom no-one awakes except his favourite wife.' Until Allah raises him up from that place of sleep. And if he is a hypocrite (munaafiq), he says: 'I heard the people saying something so I said it too, I don't know.' So they say: 'We knew that you (would) say that.' So it is said to the earth: 'Crush him', so he is crushed until his cross over and he remains in the state of torture until Allah raises him up from that resting place." [Hasan: At-Tirmidhee from Abu Hurairah.]
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "When a human being is laid in his grave and his companions return and he even hears their footsteps, two angels come to him and make him sit and ask him: What did you used to say about this man, Muhammad? He will say: I testify that he is Allah's slave and His Apostle. Then it will be said to him, 'Look at your place in the Hell-Fire. Allah has changed for you a place in Paradise instead of it.' The Prophet (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) added, "The dead person will see both his places. But a non-believer or a hypocrite will say to the angels, 'I do not know, but I used to say what the people used to say! It will be said to him, 'neither did you know nor did you take the guidance (by reciting the Qur'aan).' Then he will be hit with an iron hammer between his ears, and he will cry and that cry will be heard by whatever approaches him except human beings and jinns." [Saheeh: Al-Bukhaaree (2/422), Muslim, Ahmad, Abu Daud, an-Nasaa.ee: from Anas.]
Al-Baraa b. 'Azib said: We went out with the Prophet of Allah (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) accompanying the bier of a man of the Ansar. When he reached his grave, it was not yet dug. So the Prophet of Allah (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) sat down and we also sat down around him as if birds were over our heads. He had in his hand a stick by which he was scratching the ground. He then raised his head and said: Seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the grave. He said it twice or thrice. The version of Jarir adds here: He hears the beat of their sandals when they go back, and at that moment he asked: O so and so! Who is your Lord, what is your religion, and who is your Prophet? Hannad's version has: Two angels will come to him, make him sit up, and ask him: Who is your Lord? He will reply: My Lord is Allah. They will ask him: What is your religion? He will reply: My religion is Islaam. They will ask him: What is your opinion about the man who was sent on a mission among you? He will reply: He is the Apostle of Allah. They will ask: Who made you aware of this? He will reply: I read Allah's Book, believed in it, and considered it true, which is verified by Allah's word: "Allah establishes those who believe with the word that stands firm in this world and the next." The agreed version goes: Then a crier will call from the heaven: My servant has spoken the truth, so spread a bed for him from Paradise, clothe him in Paradise, and open a door for him into Paradise. So some of its air and perfume will come to him, and a space will be made for him as far as the eye can see. He also mentioned the death of the infidel, saying: His spirit will be restored to his body, two angels will come to him, make him sit up and ask him: Who is your Lord? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. They will ask him: What is your religion? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. They will ask: Who is this man who was sent on a mission among you? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. Then a crier will call from the heaven: He has lied, so spread a bed for him from Hell, clothe him from Hell and open for him a door into Hell. Then some of its heat and pestilential wind will come to him, and his grave will become restricted, so his ribs will be pressed together. Jarir's version adds: One who is blind and dumb will then be placed in charge of him, having a sledge hammer such that if a mountain were struck with it, it would become dust. He will give him a blow with it which will be heard by everything between the east and the west except by men and jinn, and he will become dust. Then his spirit will be restored to him. [Saheeh: Ahmad, Abu Dawud (3/4735) Ibn Khuzaimah, al-Haakim, al-Baihaqee in 'Shu'ab ul-Imaan', ad-Diyaa: from al-Baraa.]
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "...the righteous man sits in his grave and is not alarmed or afraid, then it is said to him (by angels): 'In (what state) were you?' So he says: 'In the (state of) Islaam.' So it is said to him: 'What is this man?' So he says: 'Muhammad the Messenger of Allah who came to us with clear signs from Allah, so we believed that.' Then it is said to him: 'Have you seen Allah?' So he says: 'It does not behove any man that he sees Allah.' So an opening is made for him in the direction of the Fire, so he sees it, some parts of it smashing into others, and it is said to him: 'Look at what Allah, the Exalted, has saved you from.' Then an opening is made for him in the direction of Paradise, and he looks to its brilliance and what is therein and it is said to him: 'This is your place.' And it is said to him: 'You were upon certain Faith and died upon it and upon it you will be raised up, if Allah wills.' And the wicked man sits in his grave alarmed and terrified and so it is said to him: 'In what state were you?' So he says: 'I do not know.' So it is said to him: 'Who is this man?' So he says: 'I heard the people saying something so I said it!' So an opening is made for him in the direction of Paradise and he sees its brilliance and what is therein, and it is said to him: 'Look at what Allah has refused you.' Then an opening is made for him in the direction of the Fire, so he sees it crashing against itself and it is said: 'This is your place, you lived upon doubt and died upon it and you will be raised up upon it, if it is Allah's will." [Saheeh: Ibn Maajah from Abu Hurairah.]
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "The souls of the Believers are inside green birds in the trees of Paradise until Allah returns them to their bodies on the Day of Resurrection." [Saheeh: At-Tabraanee in 'al kabeer' from Ka'b ibn Maalik & Umm Mubashshir.]
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "Seek Allah's protection from the Punishment of the Grave, since punishment of the Grave is a fact/true." [Saheeh: At-Tabraanee in 'al-Kabeer' from Umm Khaalid bint Khaalid ibn Sa'eed ibn al-'Aas.]
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "Everyone who dies - then his actions are sealed except for the one guarding the border in the way of Allah - his actions continue to increase for him until the Day of Resurrection and he is saved from the trials of the Grave." [Saheeh: Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhee, al-Haakim: from Fadaalah ibn 'Ubaid & Ahmad from 'Uqbah ibn 'Aamir.]
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "Verily the grave is the first stopping place for the Hereafter; so if he is saved therein, then what comes after is easier than it. And if he is not saved therefrom, then that which comes after is harder." [Hasan: At-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah, al-Haakim: from 'Uthmaan.]
"I asked Sahl bin Hunaif, "Did you hear the Prophet saying anything about Al-Khawarij?" He said, "I heard him saying while pointing his hand towards Iraq. "There will appear in it (i.e, Iraq) some people who will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out from (leave) Islam as an arrow darts through the game's body.'"
Bukhari Book 9 Volume 84 Hadith 68
After the Battle of Hunain the Prophet (s) - in distributing the booty - gave preference to a number of non-Muslims. His aim was to attract them to Islam Hurqus ibn Zuhair. rebuked the Prophet (s) by saying to him: "Be just in your distribution O Messenger of Allah."
The Prophet was incensed by this remark and responded by saying:"Then who can be called just if I am not just?"
To this the Prophet added:
"There will come a time when a group of people will leave our ranks. They will recite the Quran with fervour and passion (lit. "With tongues that are moist".) but its spirit will not go beyond their throats. They will leave our ranks in the manner of an arrow when it shoots from its bow."
Bukhari Book 4 Volume 53 Hadith 378
“There will come towards the end of time a group of people, young men, they have the most grandiose visions, they are speaking the best speech that you will ever hear of any man. But they will leave Islam like an arrow leaves its prey.”
Sahih Bukhari 4770, Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi
"ORIGIN OF KHAWARIJ"
Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri Radiallahu Anhhu narrates that we were in the company of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam while he was distributing booty. Zul Khuwaysarh, a man from Banu Tameem, came to him and said “oh messenger of Allah be just” so he said “may you be destroyed! Who will be just if I am not just? Verily you are deprived and in loss if I’m not just”. Umar Radiallah Anhu said “oh messenger of Allah give me permission to cut his head off”. He replied “leave him for he has companions that one of you would consider your Salah insignificant compared to theirs and you would consider your fasts insignificant compared to theirs.
They read the Quraan but it does not go beyond their throats. They will deviate from Deen the way an arrow deviates away from the target. Its shaft will be looked at and nothing will be found in it, then its spine will be looked at and nothing will be found in it. Then its head will be looked at and nothing will be found in it, then its fletching will be looked at and nothing will be found in it. It would outstrip the intestines and blood. Their sign will be a black man, one of his upper arms will be like a breast of a woman or like a piece of flesh that is hanging. They will come out at a time when the people are divided.
Abu Saeed Radiallahu Anhu said “I bear testimony that I heard this hadeeth from Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam and I bear witness that Ali Radiallahu Anhu fought them while I was with him and he ordered that this person should be found so he was brought. I witnessed that he was exactly the way Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam described him.
Zulkhuwaysarh was the forefather of the Khwarij as can also understood from the hadith below
"And when he (Zulkhuwaysarah) turned away he (Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said verily from the back of this person will come out a nation that will read the Quraan but it will not go beyond their throats. They will deviate from Deen the way an arrow deviates away from the target. They will wage war against the Muslims ignore the idol worshippers. If I were to find them I would destroy them as the nation of Aad was destroyed.
Sahih Bukhari 509, 472
RULING ON KILLING KHWARIJITES
That man then returned. Khalid b. Walid then said: Messenger of Allah, should I not strike his neck? Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: Perhaps he may be observing the prayer. Khalid said: How many observers of prayer are there who profess with their tongue what is not in their heart? Upon this the Messenger of Allah (SallAllah-u-Alaihi-wa-Sallam) said: I have not been commanded to pierce through the hearts of people, nor to split their bellies (insides). He again looked at him and he was going back.
Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: There would arise a people from the progeny of this (man) who would recite the Qur'an glibly, but it would not go beyond their throats; they would (hurriedly) pass through (the teachings of their) Deen just as the arrow passes through the prey. I conceive that he (the Holy Prophet) also said this: If I find them I would certainly kill them as were killed the (people of) Thamud.
[Sahih Muslim: Book 005, Number 2319]
Ali said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (SallAllah-u-Alaihi-wa-Sallam) as saying: There would arise at the end of the age a people who would be young in age and immature in thought, but they would talk (in such a manner) as if their words are the best among the creatures. They would recite the Qur'an, but it would not go beyond their throats, and they would pass through the Deen as an arrow goes through the prey. So when you meet them, kill them, for in their killing you would get a reward with Allah on the Day of Judgment.
[Sahih Muslim: Book 005, Number 2328]
The Khawaarij (Kharijites) are one of the deviant sects, as is proven by the texts and by scholarly consensus. Al-Bukhaari (6934) and Muslim (1068) narrated that Yusayr ibn ‘Amr said: I said to Sahl ibn Hunayf: Did you hear the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say anything about the Khawaarij? He said: I heard him say – and he gestured with his hand towards Iraq –: “From there will emerge people who recite the Qur’an, but it will not go past their collarbones. They will pass out of Islam as an arrow passes out of the prey.”
Ibn Maajah (173) narrated that Ibn Abi Awfa said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The Khawaarij are the dogs of Hell.”
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.
May Allah Protect us from the fitna of kharijites. Ameen.

Surah Al Israa Ayah 56
Allaah is the All-Wise, All-Knowing in all that He wills and decrees, and He is the All-Wise, All-Knowing in all that He legislates and commands. He creates and decrees whatever signs He wills, to frighten His slaves and remind them of their obligations and duties towards Him, and to warn them against associating anything in worship with Him, going against His commands and doing that which He has forbidden. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And We sent not the signs except to warn” [al-Israa’ 17:59]
“We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Qur’aan) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?” [Fussilat 41:53]
“Say: ‘He has power to send torment on you from above or from under your feet, or to cover you with confusion in party strife, and make you to taste the violence of one another.’” [al-An’aam 6:65]
Al-Bukhaari narrated in his Saheeh from Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that when the aayah (interpretation of the meaning) “Say: ‘He has power to send torment on you from above” was revealed, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “A’oodhu bi wajhika (I seek refuge in Your Face”;“or from under your feet”, he said, “A’oodhu bi wajhika (I seek refuge in Your Face).” (Saheeh al-Bukhaari, 5/193).
wed up by the earth.)
Undoubtedly the earthquakes that are happening these days are among the signs which Allaah uses to frighten His slaves. All the earthquakes and other things which happen and cause harm and injury to people are because of shirk and sins, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings):
“And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much” [al-Shoora 42:30]
“Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allaah, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself” [al-Nisaa’ 4:79]
And Allaah said concerning the nations of the past:
“So We punished each (of them) for his sins, of them were some on whom We sent Haasib (a violent wind with shower of stones) [as on the people of Loot (Lot)], and of them were some who were overtaken by As-Saihah [torment — awful cry, (as Thamood or Shu‘ayb’s people)], and of them were some whom We caused the earth to swallow [as Qaaroon (Korah)], and of them were some whom We drowned [as the people of Nooh (Noah), or Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) and his people]. It was not Allaah Who wronged them, but they wronged themselves” [al-‘Ankaboot 29:40]
What Muslims and others who are accountable and of sound mind must do is repent to Allaah, adhere firmly to His Religion and avoid all that He has forbidden of Shirk and sin, so that they may be safe and attain salvation from all evils in this world and the next, and so that Allaah will ward off from them all harm, and bless them with all good. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And if the people of the towns had believed and had the Taqwaa (piety), certainly, We should have opened for them blessings from the heaven and the earth, but they belied (the Messengers). So We took them (with punishment) for what they used to earn (polytheism and crimes).” [al-A’raaf 7:96]
And Allaah says concerning the People of the Book (interpretation of the meaning):
“And if only they had acted according to the Tawraah (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to them from their Lord (the Qur’ân), they would surely, have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet” [al-Maa’idah 5:66].
And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Did the people of the towns then feel secure against the coming of Our punishment by night while they were asleep? Or, did the people of the towns then feel secure against the coming of Our punishment in the forenoon while they were playing? Did they then feel secure against the Plan of Allaah? None feels secure from the Plan of Allaah except the people who are the losers.” [al-A’raaf 7:97-99]
Al-‘Allaamah Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Allaah sometimes gives the earth permission to breathe, which is when major earthquakes happen; this makes people feel scared, so they repent, give up sins, pray to Allaah and feel regret [for their sins]. When there had been an earthquake, some of the Salaf said: your Lord is warning you. When Madeenah was struck by an earthquake, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with you) addressed the people and said: if there is another earthquake, I will not stay here with you.”
And there are many similar reports from the Salaf.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO WHEN THE TORMENT OF ALLAH COMES?
when there is an earthquake or some other sign such as an eclipse, strong winds or floods, should be to hasten to repent to Allaah and pray to Him for safety, and to remember Him much and seek His forgiveness, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said when there was an eclipse: “If you see anything like that, hasten to remember Him, call on Him and seek His forgiveness.” (Part of an agreed-upon hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari (2/30) and Muslim (2/628)).
"PRAY FOR NEPAL"
A devastating earthquake hit Nepal in the early hours of yesterday's morning. There are over 1,500 reported deaths, with much of the country left in ruins. We ask you to keep the people of Nepal in your duaas during this highly difficult time. We make duaa they are granted patience, strength and safety.
Pray for Nepal.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oon - To God we belong, and to Him is our return.
May Allah help them and give them patience to bear the huge loss. May Allah have Mercy on those who died and give "Patience" to the families of the deceased. Allahuma Ameen.
This is about Muslim man named Rashid. He Says. “I was not a practicing muslim, I had bad friends. I enjoyed going out with them. I was almost never home, but always at gatherings with friends, in these gatherings we backbited, gossiped and made fun of people. I was especially known among my friends to make jokes and people were impressed by the way I was so good at it.
One night (at the time I was 30 and married and my wife was pregnant with our 1st child) I was as usual gathered with my friends and talking useless talk. I was telling them how I was at the market one day and I saw a blind man and I put my leg out in front of this man and the blind man tripped and fell on his face. My friends laughed and so on. When I went back home that night, my wife told me ‘were have u been?’ ‘I am so tired and sick and I think I am in labour.’ A tear dropped down her cheek. I felt guilty, for I hadn’t cared about my wife properly. I quickly took her to the hospital. She was in pain for a long time and could not give birth, I waited patiently, but eventually I left and told the hospital to call me when she gave birth. An hour later, they called telling me my wife had given birth to baby boy named Salem. I quickly went to the hospital. I asked which room my wife was in. They told me I 1st had to see the doctor. I got mad at them and said “What doctor? I want to see my son!?!” they insisted that I see the doctor first. So I went to the doctor, she first talked to me about calamities and that one must accept the will (qadar) of Allah.
Then she told me, ‘your son is blind!’ My lowered my head and remembered the blind man I tripped and made fun of. I didn’t know what to say, I thanked the doctor for her kindness and went to see my wife. My wife was not sad, rather she accepted the will of Allah (subhanahu Wa Ta'ala). She had always advised me not to make fun of people and not to gossip and backbite. We left the hospital. I did not care about Salem, I did not like him, I pretended that he wasn’t even in the house. But, my wife loved Salem very much and cared for him.
Salem grew and he began to crawl, he wasn’t crawling properly. When he began to walk, we discovered that he was handicapped. This was too much for me. Later, my wife gave birth to 2 boys, Omar and Khalid.
Years passed, Salem and his brothers grew. I continued to hang out with my bad friends and did not like to be at home. However, my wife was patient with me and she always made Du'a that Allah guide me.
One Friday, I woke up at 11 am (which was early for me) and was getting ready to go to a walimah (I did not go to Jummah). I got dressed, put on 3tter, and was about to head out the door when I saw Salem (who was 10 yrs old) crying very loudly in the living room. So, for the first time in 10 years I cared and went to ask him why he was crying. When Salem felt me coming near, he stopped crying and pushed me away as if to say, “Now you care, where were you for the past 10 yrs!”
Salem was calling his mother and brothers, but no one was answering him, so he went to his room. I followed him. At first, he would not tell me why he was crying. Do you know why he was crying? His brother Omar, who normally took him to the masjid, was late. Salem was afraid that since it was a Friday, he would not be able to get a spot in the front row at the mosque. I said, “is that why you cried Salem?” Salem answered positively.
I, out of disbelief from what I heard, forgot about my friends and the walimah. I then told Salem that I would take him to the mosque. Salem could not believe what he had heard. He thought his father was mocking him. He then began to cry. I wiped Salem’s tears and took him by his hand to take him to the car. Salem refused. He said the mosque is near, and he wants to walk there by foot. I could not remember the last time he went to the mosque. The mosque was full, but I was able to find a spot for Salem in the first row. After prayer was over, Salem asked me to get him copy of the Qur'an. I thought, ‘how can he want a Qur'an if he is blind!!!!’ so I gave him one anyway so that his feelings would not be hurt.
Salem then asked me to open to surat al-kahf. So when I opened it for him, Salem began to recite. He had memorized the entire surah. I felt embarrassed and ashamed of myself. I took a Qur'an and began to read. I asked Allah for forgiveness and guidance. I then began to sob like a child. There were still people in the mosque, so I tried to hide my tears. I couldn’t. I began to sob loudly.
I felt a small hand wiping his tears away. It was Salem. He hugged me and I thought, ‘you aren’t the blind one, for I am, because I ran after the evil people who would drag me into hell-fire. ’From that day on I never missed a prayer at the mosque. My wife was really happy.
I left all my bad friends and tasted the sweetness of eman. I went to halaqas. I became closer to Allah and to my family. I thanked Allah for this great blessing. One day my pious friends decided to go to a far away place to make dawah. I hesitated about going, I made istikharah and asked my wife, to my surprise she encouraged me to go. She was so happy, for before I used to travel without asking her. I told Salem that I would be traveling, he hugged me with his tiny arms, bidding me farewell. I was away for 3 months and I would call my family and I missed them greatly, especially Salem. Whenever, I called I would ask for him but he was either at school or the mosque.
Every time I told my wife how much I missed him, she would laugh cheerfully. Except for the last call, she did not laugh but her voice had changed. I told her to say salam to Salem and she said “In shaa Allah” and was quiet.
I finally came back home and hoped Salem would open the door for me, but Khaled did. Then I saw my wife, her face had changed. I asked her “what’s wrong?” she replied “nothing.” Then I remembered Salem, and asked “where is he?” My wife lowered her head and did not answer. A tear dropped down her cheek. I screamed at her, “where’s Salem, where is he?'”
My son Khaled (4 yrs old), said “Daddy, Thalem went to Jannah, he is with Allah.” My wife could not handle it and she broke down in tears and left the room. I found out later that Salem had got sick with a fever and went to hospital 2 weeks before I arrived. The fever worsened and his mother stayed by his side and until his soul departed his body.”

"Put Yourselves on "SAFE MODE" from Sins in this Sacred Month"
Many Fabricated and Mafroo Ahadith are affiliated with the Month of Rajab these days !
Lets Not Forget this beautiful Hadith:
Sahih Bukhari, Book 92, Hadith 382: "Narrated 'Abdullah: The best talk (i.e. speech) is Allah's Book {i.e. Quran}, and the best way is the way of Muhammad, and the Worst matters are the heresies (i.e. those new things which are introduced into the religion); and whatever you have been promised will surely come to pass, and you cannot escape (it)."
What Quran Says About The Month of Rajab?
* “Surely the reckoning of months, in the sight of Allah, is twelve months, laid down in Allah’s decree on the day when He created the heavens and the earth; and out of these months four are sacred. That is the true ordainment. Do not, therefore, wrong yourselves, with respect to these months. And fight all together against those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity in the manner that they fight against you all together, and know well that Allah is with the God-fearing.” (The Repentance: 36)
Al-Bukhaari (4662) and Muslim (1679) narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: three consecutive months, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab Mudar which comes between Jumaada and Sha’baan.
These months are called sacred for two reasons:
1. Because fighting therein is forbidden unless initiated by the enemy
2. Because transgression of the sacred limits therein is worse than at other times.
Hence Allaah has forbidden us to commit sins during these months, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“wrong not yourselves therein”
[al-Tawbah 9:36]
Although committing sins is haraam and forbidden during these months and at other times, in these months it is more forbidden.
There is no saheeh hadeeth that would count as evidence which speaks of the virtue of the month of Rajab, or that speaks of fasting this month or part of it, or of spending any particular night of it in prayer.
No Other Saheeh Hadith has been reported with due to this "Month" and whatever is attributed to this month is "Biddah".
What Is The Purpose Of Life ? - In The Light Of Quraan:
==========================================
when you ask most people the question: "What is the purpose of life?" (Such a fundamental and important question), they will not tell you what they have concluded through observation or analytical reasoning. Rather, in most cases, they will simply tell you what someone else said, or they will tell you what is "commonly presumed" by others. If we ask anyone about the purpose of eating or why do we eat, everyone will say that it is for nutritional purposes, because nutrition sustains life. If we ask anyone why they work, they will say because it's a necessity in order to support them and to provide for the needs of their families. If I ask anyone why they sleep, why they wash, why they dress, etc, they will answer with appropriate answers, for these are common necessities for all human beings. We can follow this line of questioning with a hundred questions and receive the same or similar answers from anyone in any language from any place in the world.
Then why when we ask the question, "What is the goal and purpose of life?" that we get many different answers? It is because people are confused; they don't really know. They are stumbling in the dark, and rather than say, "I don't know"; they just offer any answer they have been programmed to give.
Think about it! Is our purpose in this world simply to eat, sleep, dress, work, acquire some material things and enjoy ourselves? Is this our purpose? Why are we born? What is the object of our existence? What is the wisdom behind the amazing creation of man and this tremendous universe? Think about those questions.
Allah mentions to us in the Holy Quran
“Do they not think deeply about themselves? God has not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth and for an appointed term.”
(Quran 30:8)
“Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding-who remember God while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
(Quran 3:189-191)
In these verses, God draws our attention to the creation of the heavens and earth, the alternation of the night and the day, the creation of the universe. He calls our attention to their creation and their precision, and mentions those who contemplate the wonders of creation and realize that this was not created for any foolish purpose, [that God is exalted above doing such a thing] and they seek refuge with God from the punishment of Hell. Truly, when you see the design of all that God created, you realize it is very powerful and very precise. Something very powerful and very precise; something beyond your own calculation and imagination, cannot be foolish.
When you see a bridge, a building or an automobile, you automatically consider the person or company that constructed it. When you see a large ship, an airplane, a rocket, a satellite; you also think about how incredible it is. [You know by itsdesignit has a maker.] When you see a super international airport, nuclear plant or an orbiting space station you have to be thoroughly impressed with the engineering dynamics that are involved. Yet, these are just things that are manufactured by human beings. So what about the human body with its massive and intricate control systems? Think about it, who made that?
Think about the brain: how it thinks, functions, analyzes, retrieves and stores information, as well as distinguishes and categorizes information in a millionth of a second, all of this constantly. Think about the brain for a moment! This is the brain that made the automobile, the rocket ships, the boats, and so on. Think about the brain and who made that! How is it we say the airplane for example was created and yet the brain, something much more complex with many more purposeful functions came about by chance!! Think about it!
Think about the heart. Think about how it pumps continuously for sixty or seventy years [taking in and discharging blood throughout the body] maintaining steady precision throughout the life of the person.
Think about the kidneys and the liver and the various functions they perform. The purifying instruments of the body that perform hundreds of chemical analyses simultaneously and also control the level of toxicity in the content of the body. All of these are doneautomaticallywithout us having to regulate that.
Think about your eyes, the human cameras, that adjust, focus, interpret, evaluate, and discern colorautomatically, naturally receiving and adjusting to light and distance.
Then consider all these systems coming together in 1 body working together! Think about it, who created that? Who has mastered their design and function? Who plans and regulates their function? Did Human beings do this? Is it co-incidence? No, of course not.
“Verily in the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers. And in your creation, and what He scattered of moving creatures are signs with people of sure faith,”
(Quran 45:3-4)
The theory of evolution claims that everything came about from nothing without a cause. But if we examine a computer, we know the parts did not come together with such intricacy even if we waited a billion years, nor even its basic parts! Yet we are made to think that something millions of times more complex could come together somehow with such design and purpose, without cause or architect, purely by chance!! Think about it………
What about this universe? The universe is governed by basic laws of physics such as gravity, electromagnetic forces, mass, energy etc. If these laws or the calculations they are based on were out by a fraction then it would lead to the destruction of the whole universe. Yet it is in perfect harmony and order.
“Indeed God grasps the heavens and the earth lest they move away, and if they were to move away, there is not one that could grasp them after Him. Truly He is Ever Most-Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.”
35:41
“God is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars you can see. Then He rose above the Throne. He subjected the sun and the moon each running for a term appointed. He regulates the affair, explaining the signs in detail that you may believe with certainty in the meeting of your Lord.”
(Quran 13:2)
Think about the oceans, the fish, the insects, the birds, the plants, bacteria, and chemical elements that have not yet been discovered and cannot be detected even with the most sophisticated instruments. Yet each of them has a law that they follow. Did all of this synchronization, balance, harmony, variation, design, maintenance, operation, happen all by chance? Do these things function perfectly and perpetually also by chance? No of course not!That would be totally illogical and foolish.
We must admit that The Being, The Almighty Power, God, The Creator who has the knowledge to design and proportion created all of this and is responsible for maintaining it. If I were to give each one of you one hundred dollars for no reason, just for being here, you would at least say thank you. So what about your eyes, your kidneys, your brain, your children, and your life: Who gave you all of that? Is He not worthy of praise and thanks?Is He not worthy of your worship, obedience, and recognition?
“Is then He who creates, as one who creates not? Will you not then remember?”
(Quran 35:41)
“And if you (O Muhammad) ask them: Who has created the heavens and the earth, they will surely reply ‘God’. Say: All praises and thanks be to God! But most of them know not.”
(Quran 31:25)
That is the goal and purpose of this life.God said in the Holy Quran
“And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me”
(Quran 51:56)
Our purpose in this life isto recognize The Creator, to be grateful to Him, to worship Him, to surrender ourselves to Him and to obey the lawsthat He has determined for us. This all-encompassing worship is our purpose in life.
TRY TO HANDLE YOUR FIVE DAILY PRAYERS BEFORE HANDLING FOUR WIVES !!
"Polygamy Conditions In Islam"
“And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice”
[al-Nisa’ 4:3]
This is a Qur’aanic text which shows that plural marriage is allowed. According to Islamic sharee’ah, a man is permitted to marry one, two, three or four wives, in the sense that he may have this number of wives at one time. It is not permissible for him to have more than four. This was stated by the mufassireen (commentators on the Qur’aan) and fuqaha’ (jurists), and there is consensus among the Muslims on this point, with no differing opinions.
It should be noted that there are conditions attached to plural marriage:
"Justice or fairness."
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one”
[al-Nisa’ 4:3]
This aayah indicates that just treatment is a condition for plural marriage to be permitted. If a man is afraid that he will not be able to treat his wives justly if he marries more than one, then it is forbidden for him to marry more than one. What is meant by the justice that is required in order for a man to be permitted to have more than one wife is that he should treat his wives equally in terms of spending, clothing, spending the night with them and other material things that are under his control.
Since Being "Just or Fair" equally between Wives could be extremely Tough So A Person should Fear Allah for being held in Account on the Day Of Judgement.
Abu Shuraih Khuwailid bin 'Amr Al-Khuza'i (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺSallalahu Alaihi Wassalam) said, "O Allah, I declare inviolable the rights of two weak ones: the orphans and women".
[An- Nasa'i]
Arabic/English book Reference : Book 1, Hadith 270
PROPHET YOUSUF (ALAIHI SALAM) PREFERRED PRISON THAN ADULTERY !!
"The woman in whose house he was living tried to seduce him: she bolted the doors and said, ‘Come to me,’ and he replied, ‘God forbid! My master has been good to me; wrongdoers never prosper.’ And she advanced towards him, and he would have succumbed to her if he had not seen evidence of his Lord– We did this in order to keep evil and indecency away from him, for he was truly one of Our chosen servants. They raced for the door– she tore his shirt from behind– and at the door they met her husband. She said, ‘What, other than prison or painful punishment, should be the reward of someone who tried to dishonor your wife?’ but he said, ‘She tried to seduce me.’ A member of her household suggested, ‘If his shirt is torn at the front, then it is she who is telling the truth and he who is lying, but if it is torn at the back, then she is lying and he is telling the truth.’ When the husband saw that the shirt was torn at the back, he said, ‘This is another instance of women’s treachery: your treachery is truly great. Joseph, overlook this; but you [wife], ask forgiveness for your sin– you have done wrong." (Yusuf 12:23-29)
Zulaikha said : " I tried to seduce him and he wanted to remain chaste, but if he does not do what I command now, he will be put in prison and degraded."
Upon which Yousuf (Alaihi Salam) supplicated to Allah Saying, ‘My Lord! I would prefer prison to what these women are calling me to do. If You do not protect me from their treachery, I shall yield to them and do wrong,’ and his Lord answered his prayer and protected him from their treachery– He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.} (Yusuf 12:30-34)
SubhanAllah Prophet Yousuf (Alaihi Salam) preferred Imprisonment than Adultery !
This is how A Believer should be, chaste, pure, God-Fearing <3
But unfortunately Muslims nowadays love making Girlfriends, going on dates, committing adultery etc ! Fear Allah And Avoid these Major Sins !
DO NOT USE NIQAB TO HIDE YOUR PIMPLES OUTBREAK ! USE IT TO PLEASE ALLAH !
Its A Shame To Say That Our Own Muslim Sisters Today, Wake Up With The Intention of Sinning, Im Not Talking About Everyone but Some Of Them, They Wake Up and What Do They Think First? That Before I Go Out Of The House, I Need To Look The Best, She Wears The Shortest Of Tops, The Tightest Of Jeans, She Will Apply Her Make Up, Spends Hours In Front Of The Mirror, To Make Sure That She Looks The Best, She Will Wear Those High Heels, then they Corrupt Themselves and They Will Corrupt Others, They Wear Such High Heels, Specially Those Pin Point High Heels, Which Makes Their Hips Sway, In Such A Way That It Traps Men, They Will Be Wearing These and Trapping Men And Going Out Their Homes With The Intention of Sinning
And When You Say To These Women/Young Girls Today: That Why Are You Wearing Such Clothes? You Should Be Adopting The Hijab, Should Be Adopting The Niqab, This Is What Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) Has Ordered You To Do, They Say To You: GET LOST!!! What Do You Know? This Is Fashion, This Is What Is Hot, This Is What Is In but I Say To These Sisters, You Can Do This Today but Remember, These Actions Will Be One That Will Make You Tan In Jahannam, FEAR ALLAH and FEAR THE DAY OF RESURRECTION, How Are You Gonna Face Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) On The Day Of Judgement? How Are You Gonna Face Allah? When Allah Is In Front Of You To Question You, That I Ordered You To Observe Niqaab, I Ordered You To Cover Up, What Explanation Will You Give Allah On The Day Of Judgement? ALLAHU AKBAR, How Will You Even Face Allah?
What is the use of such Modesty? Is this type of Niqaab useful?
God is Only One is the basic teaching of Islam and every religion .. This is a universal fact recorded in almost every divine scripture and all the previous scriptures were from Allah and from Allah only.................... Quran says: These previous Revelations include the following: BIBLE, TORAH, PSALMS.
We did reveal the Torah (Tawrat), wherein is guidance and a light ... Quran 5:44
And already have we written in the Psalms (Zabur) after the reminder that the earth shall my righteous servants inherit.' Quran 21:105
Subsequent to them, we sent Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming the previous scripture, the Torah. We gave him the Gospel (Injil), containing guidance and light, and confirming the previous scriptures, the Torah, and augmenting its guidance and light, and to enlighten the righteous. Quran 5:46...............................................................................................................................................................AND that VERY SAME GOD/ALLAH finally selected Islam as title of his chosen religion in his final scripture Quran .........here is the reference:............................................................................................................................................................. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. 5:3 Quran..............................................................................................................................................................Moreover Allah says: And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. Conclude yourself....!
This Worldly Life And All its possessions will be of no use ! Dont Spoil Your Akhirah By this Temporary Life !
Allah says in the Holy Qur'an:
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
(93:4)
Strive to Make Your Grave A Beautiful Resting place after Your Death !
Strive to make "Jannah" Your Eternal Home !
Dont Run after this duniya as it is nothing but A Beautiful And Temporary "Deception" !!
"Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion."
(57:20)
SUMMER MAKE US REALIZE THAT WE ARE TOO DELICATE TO HANDLE HEAT !!
I often wonder we cant bear the "Hotness of Sun" then how will we be able to face "Jahannum"?
May Allah Have Mercy On Us, we forget about "Jahannum" as this worldly life (The sweet Deception) has made us forget about the most horrible upcoming reality "The Death"
Try to Think About "Jahannum" whenever you feel hot this summer and continuously say "Allahuma Ajirna Min An Naar".
Ya Rahmaan Save This Muslim Ummah From Hell-fire. Ameen.
Kindly Respected Brothers And sisters in Islam show some Respect And Gratitude to the Beautiful Name of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala), Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallalahu Alaihi Wassalam) And Our Sahaba (RadiAllahu Anhum)/Sahabiyat (RadiAllahu Anhuma)
We Type So Many "Good For Nothing" Words but we cant even write the Complete form Of Our Creator, The Lord Of the Universe SubhanAllah ! Our Beloved Prophet (Sallalahu Alaihi Wassalam) Who Cried For His Ummah/For Us And we cant even write A Complete Salam ! Our Sahaba (RadiAllahu Anhum) who defended and practised this Beautiful Religion And we cant even write "RadiAllahu Anhum"
Respect The Name Of Your Lord ! Respect Your Religion !
Qur'an is SIMPLY AMAZING. Quoted by Dr Gary Miller former Christian missionary
A Mathematician and ex Christian missionary who Challenged The Quran
Dr.
Gary Miller was a Mathematician, a theologian and an ex Christian
Missionary Using Critical Thinking based on clear proof, he shows how we
can establish true faith by setting standards of truth.
Dr. Gary
Miller thought to guide Muslims towards Christianity on the basis of his
knowledge and challenged the Quran on the basis of Mathematics......
To know What happened Next Read the full Story in Details
This post is a bit lengthy to say the least, BUT it is worth the effort to read and you will be really amazed by this book
You can listen to the lecture or reed the book
Take a look at What Dr Gary Miller former Christian missionary has mentioned in his book The ‘AmazingQuran’.
"No
writer in the world has the courage to write a book and say that it's
empty of mistakes, but the Qur'an, on the contrary, tells you that it
has no mistakes and asks you to try to find one and you won't find any."
Dr. Gary Miller
If Quran was written by the Prophet (peace be on
him) himself, he would have mentioned atleast once about the grief he
suffered due to the loss of his beloved wife, our mother, Hazrat Khadija
(may Allah be pleased with her).
We do not find that in the Quran. Find more proofs to know how the Quran is Amazing.

It is a record of the exact
words revealed by God to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
through the Angel Gabriel.
It was then dictated to his Companions who memorized it, and it was written down by scribes.
The
Quran is in every detail the unique and miraculous text which was
revealed to Muhammad fourteen centuries ago. Not one word of its 114
chapters has been changed over the centuries.
The Quran deals with
all subjects which concern us as human beings: wisdom, doctrine,
worship, and law, but its basic theme is the relationship between God
and His creatures.
There are also many verses in the Quran
concerned with natural phenomena that are astounding. It is impossible
to explain their presence in humans terms, given the state of knowledge
at the time the Quran was revealed.
In the West, such statements had never before formed the subject of a scientific communication until recent times.
On
9th November 1976, an unusual lecture was given at the French Academy
of Medicine. Its title was ‘Physiological and Embryological data in the
Quran’ and was delivered by the famous French physician Dr. Maurice
Bucaille.
His reason for doing this was that “our knowledge of
these disciplines is such, that it is impossible to explain how a text
produced at the time of the Quran could have contained ideas that have
only been discovered in modern times.
The citations included in this pamphlet appeared in the Quran during the 7th century C.E.
The Prophet Muhammad was himself illiterate and was living among illiterate people.
The Arabs at that time worshipped idols and believed in horoscope and magic and were superstitious.
The Arabs very actively opposed the teachings advanced by the Prophet through his revelations.
This
short article is for you to read and to consider. Because the subject
matter is so vast, we have space to mention only a few brief facts from
the Amazing Qur’an.

========================= 01 Dilemma of Applying Reason =========================
Almost all of us have been faced with the questioning of a child by repeating one word over and over.
He can be very frustrating to us as he asks Why?
If you put a h1ife beyond his reach, he wants to know, Why?
When you explain it is sharp, he asks "Why?" And so you explain, in order to cut fruit, and he asks, Why? And so it goes
It illustrates the dilemma of applying reason.
What we have to do when we apply reason is first to set standards of
proof. We decide for ourselves, "What will I be satisfied with if I find
such and such and so and so that constitutes for me a final proof?"
We have to decide on that first.
What happens though, is that on the really important issues, the
philosophical matters, thinkers set standards and eventually they may
arrive at their standards.
They may arrive at the point which they say would constitute a proof. But then they ask for a proof of the proof.
The key to avoiding this endless dissatisfaction is to satisfy
ourselves about standards first; to satisfy ourselves that such and such
are a list of criteria that constitute proof, satisfying proof, and
then we test the subjects that we examine.
In particular I will apply this to the Qur'an.
Ask a thoughtful Christian why he is Christian, and he will usually reply, "The miracle of Resurrection."
The
basis for his belief being that about two thousand years ago a man died
and he was raised from the dead. That is his miracle, his 'touchstone',
because all else depends on that.
Ask a Muslim, "Well, what is your
miracle? Why are you a Muslim? Where is your miracle?" and the Muslim
can go over and take his miracle off the shelf and hand it over to you
because his miracle is still with us today. It is the Qur'an; it is his
'touchstone'.
========================= 03 Sign of God =========================
While all the prophets have their signs, Moses had the competition with
the magicians and the Pharaoh, Jesus healed the sick and raised the
dead and so on, one sign was given to the last of the prophets.
According to the Muslims, this is the Qur'an. And this one Sign is still
with us.
Does not that after all seem fair, that if prophethood is
to end that the last prophet should bring something that stays with us
so that, in fact, a Muslim who takes his religion seriously suffers no
disadvantage to Muslims who lived fourteen centuries ago?
Those
people who kept company with the Prophet had access to no more of the
necessary information than we have today. They had the Qur'an. That was
the sign for them. It is still a sign to us today, the same miracle.
Well, let us test the Qur'an. Suppose that if I say to a man, "I know
your father." Probably he is going to examine the situation and see if
it seems likely that I have met his father.
If he is not convinced
he will start asking me questions like: "You know my father, you say,
is he a tall man? Does he have curly hair? Does he wear glasses?" and so
on.
If I keep giving him the right answers to all these questions,
pretty soon he is going to be convinced. "Well I guess this man did meet
my father like he said." You see the method
========================= 04 The Big Bang Theory =========================
The Big Bang mentioned in the Qur'an 1400 years ago
Here in the Qur'an we have a book which claims that is author is one
who was present at the beginning of the universe, at the beginning of
life.
So, we have a right to address that author and say, "Well,
tell me something prove to me that you were there when the world began,
when life began."
The Qur'an gives us an interesting statement. It reads:
"Have not the disbelievers seen that the Heavens and the Earth were one
piece and we parted them? Will they not then believe?"(21:30)
There
are three key points here.
First of all it is the disbelievers who are
mentioned as being those who would see that the heavens and the earth
were one piece and then parted and would see that all life cam e to be
made from water.
As it happens the universally accepted theory of the origin of the universe is now the Big Bang theory.
It maintains that at one time all of the heavens and the earth were one piece, the 'monoblock' as it is called.
At a particular point in time, this 'monoblock' burst and it continues to expand. This gives us the universe we have today.
This was a recent discovery, a recent confirmation.
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded only a few years ago to those who confirmed the Big Bang origin of the universe.
It
was only about two hundred years ago that Leeuwnhoek and others
perfected the microscope and discovered for the first time that living
cells are composed of about eighty percent water.
Those Nobel Prize
winners and the Dutchman who invented the microscope were not Muslims.
And yet they confirmed the vital statement that at one time the universe
was one piece, that life was made from water, just as this verse says"
"Have not the disbelievers seen that the Heavens and the Earth were one
piece and we parted them? Will they not then believe?"(21:30)
Well,
this sounds like an answer to the question we stated with when we ask
the author:
"Tell me something that shows me you were present when the
universe began when life began?"
========================= 05 Taking a Stand =========================
Everyone must be committed to something.
You have to put your foot down some place.
It is impossible to be neutral all time.
There has to be a point of reference in the life of any thinking individual.
You have to take a stand somewhere. The question, of course, is to put your foot down in the right place.
Since
there is no such thing as a proof of a proof and so on, in order to
find the right place to put one's foot down, to take a stand, we have to
search and find that place and it is by a method that I hope to
illustrate here.
It is a question of finding a point of convergence.
You see, we search for truth in many places and we begin to know that
we are succeeding in finding the truth if all our different paths start
to converge; they start to come together at the same point.
If we are examining a book, looking for evidence of divine origin, and we are led to Islam, this is one path.
If at the same time we are examining the words of all those who were
called prophets and we find ourselves led to Islam, we have a firmly
grounded basis for belief.
We started looking for truth in two different places and ground ourselves going down the path headed for the same destination.
No one ever proves all things.
We have to stop at some point being satisfied with our standards as I have mentioned earlier.
The
point is, in order to take a stand and to be sure it is in the right
place we want to examine all the evidence around us and see where does
it lead us and anticipate this point of convergence; to say it looks
like all things are pointing to this place.
We go to that place
and then look at the data around us to see if it fits into place. Dos it
now make sense? Are we standing in the right place?
========================= 06 The Expanding Heavens =========================
Let me first show more of our examination of the Qur'an, and then an
examination of some words of prophets to find this point of convergence.
In chapter fifty-one, verse forty seven, it is mentioned that the
heavens are expanding.
As I mentioned earlier, this is in
connection with the 'Big Bang' origin of the universe, as it is usually
called, and it was in 1973 that the Nobel Prize was awarded to three men
who were confirming that, after all, the universe is expanding.
The comments of Muslims over the centuries on this verse which speaks of the heavens doing exactly that are very interesting.
The
wisest among them had stated that the words are very clear, that the
heavens are expanding, but they could not imagine how that could be so.
But they were content to leave the words as they were, to say: "Allah
knows best"
========================= 07 The City of Iram =========================
The Qur'an mentions a city by the name of Iram (89:7).
The
city of Iram has been unknown to history, so unknown that even some
Muslim commentators, out of embarrassment for feeling apologetic for
their religion, have commented on this mention of the city in the Qur'an
as being perhaps figurative, that Iram was possibly a man and not a
city.
In 1973 the excavation in Syria at the site of the ancient
city of Eblus uncovered the largest collection of cuneiform writings on
clay tablets ever assembles.
In fact, the library discovered in
Eblus contains more clay tablets that are more that four thousand years
old than all other tablets combined from all the other sites.
Interestingly enough, you will find the details in the National
Geographic of 1978 which confirms that in those tablets the city of Iram
is mentioned.
The people of Eblus used to do business with the people of Iram.
So here in these comes confirmation of the fact that, after all, there
really was an ancient city by that name, wherever it was. How did it
find its way into the Qur'an, we might ask?
Those Muslims who may
have offered their commentary trying to explain away this reference that
they were uncomfortable with, were outsmarted by the author of the
Qur'an. They would attempt it.
Primarily their actions would involve
trying to produce evidence that the author of this book had a primitive
understanding of the world around us.
========================= 08 The Smallest Matter
=========================
The Smallest Thing In The Universe Is So Tiny It Seems To Have No Size At All (VIDEO)
For example, there is a word which is translated to usually in Arabic as zarrah.
This is usually translated 'atom' and it is usually thought of in
Arabic as being smallest item available at one time. Perhaps the Arab
thought it was an ant or a grain of dust.
Today the word usually translated as 'atom'.
Those who would outsmart the author of the Qur'an have insisted that,
well, the atom is not after all the smallest piece of matter because in
this century it has been discovered that even the atom is made of still
smaller of matter.
Is it then possible to outsmart the author who
chose to use this word? Well, in chapter ten, there is an interesting
verse sixty one, which speaks of items the size of a zarrah, (atom) or
smaller.
There is no possibility in this subject someone is going to
say a new discovery has outdated the words of the Qur'an on the issue
of the size of matter or the ultimate particles.
The verse talks about items the size of a zarrah (atom) or smaller.
Speaking of outsmarting the author of the Qur'an, the Islamic point of
view is that when a man embraces Islam, his past is forgiven from the
very beginning.
This has been the invitation to Islam: come to Islam and all is forgiven from the past.
But consider this. There is only one enemy of Muhammad, peace be upon
him, who is mentioned by name in the Qur'an: one Abu Lahab. In a short
chapter of this book, he is condemned to punishment for his sins.
As it happens, the man himself was alive for many years after this revelation.
He could therefore have finished Islam very easily.
He needed only to go to the Muslims to announce his conversion.
They had in their hands the revelation which said that this man is
doomed to punishment. He could have gone to Muslims and say: "I accept
Islam, am I forgiven or not?"
He could have confused them so much as
to finish this small movement because he would have been pointing out
to them that they were now in confusion.
The policy was instant
forgiveness of the past, but their own revealed scripture announced that
he was not forgiven. As it was, Abu Lahab died without accepting Islam.
In fact, the Qur'an confidently predicted a number of things only a few
years before they came to pass.
The fall of the Persian Empire, for
example, was predicted in spite of the fact that it had just suffered a
serious military victory.
The evidence was all to the contrary. But
in the chapter entitled Rom, the fall of the Persian Empire, who were
recently victors over the Romans, was predicted.
When all the
Muslims in the world could meet in one room (meaning, Muslims initially
were very few in number), the revelations were already discussing their
future successes.
In confidence, they were planning for the day
when they would be in charge of the city (Mecca) where they were forced
at that time to hide for their very lives.
========================= 11 Evidence of Divine Origin =========================
Islam: The Religion Of Truth
Some people may like to find any number of things in the Qur'an. But an
honest method in examining this book, looking for evidence of the
Divine origin, is to take things at their value, to look for things that
are clear and to look in those places where we are invited to look.
Remember the passage that I quoted earlier:
"Have not the disbelievers seen..." This a common phrase of the Qur'an: "O Man, Have you not seen."
The invitation is to examine the evidence in these places.
We
are doing the sensible thing if we examine the words used to look for
the doubted meaning and to find evidence of the Divine origin.
Each
one of us is an expert on something. One does not have to have a degree
in a particular subject to decide that now, "I can take my expertise to
the Qur'an and see what I can find."
We all know something from our own experience and life.
I heard a story, several years ago in Toronto, of man who was given the Qur'an to read.
The
man was a member of the merchant marines who spent his life on the sea.
When he read a verse in the Qur'an describing the wave on the ocean,
"waves within waves and the darkness between,"
he was surprised
because the description was just what he knew the situation to be.
When
he returned the Qur'an to the man who gave it to him to read, he asked
him (because he was completely ignorant of the origins of Islam):
"This Muhammad, was he a sailor?"
Well,
of course, he was quite surprised to know that the man spent his life
in the desert. So he had to ask himself: "From where did he get this
knowledge of what looks like on a stormy sea?"
We all know something
that we can be confident of and if we can turn to the Qur'an to read
what it says about that subject, we are asking for confirmation of our
belief in the Divine origin of the book.
========================= 12 The Two Phenomena =========================
A friend of mine from the University of Toronto, had experience of
dealing with a man who was doing his doctorate in psychology. He chose
as his subject: "The Efficiency of Group Discussion."
He suggested a number of criteria as to what constituted an efficient discussion.
He
graphed the process; that is achieved a measure of the efficiency of
all groups in the discussions according to an index by his system, on
his graph he indicated the progress made by the discussion groups of
various sizes.
The interesting thing that happened which he did not
expect to find when he began his project was that, while there were some
difference between the size of an given group and how well they did in
discussions, he was surprised to find that groups of two were completely
off his scale.
In other words, when two people sit down to discuss
something, they were so much more efficient than any other size of group
that it went completely off his scale of measurement.
When my
friend heard about this, something went on at the back of his mind. My
friend, being a Muslim, thought there was something familiar here about
this idea. The psychology researcher was not a Muslim.
He was
debating with himself on changing the topic of his thesis. Should he
call it 'The Phenomenon of Two' or 'The Two Phenomena'? He was so
surprised at his discovery.
Meanwhile, my friend found that there is
a verse in the Qur'an, and he found it for himself on the same night,
which speaks on discussions and the size of groups and how efficient
they are.
And maybe we should not be surprised to find that it is
the groups that are two in numbers that do the best in achieving
results.
The verse in the Qur'an reads, concerning discussion
groups, that when discussing the Qur'an, one should sit alone and
reflect on its meaning or discuss it in groups of two.
========================= 13 Use and Mention of Words =========================
For myself, as I said everyone knows something for sure or has an
interest and experience in life; my interest is in mathematics and
logic.
There is a verse in the Qur'an which says:
"This a scripture whose verses are perfected and then expounded."(11:1)
Which tells me that there are no wasted words in the Qur'an; that each verse is perfected and then it is explained.
It could not be in a better form.
One could not use fewer words to say the same thing or if one uses more words one would only be adding superfluous information.
This directed my attention to a particular mathematical subject, a
logical subject, and I examined the Qur'an to see if I could find
something of what I knew to be the case.
A revolution in logic has
occurred in the last one hundred years, primarily over the difference
between use and mention of words.
A structure of logic seemed to be
in danger of collapsing about a hundred years ago because it came to the
attention of the people who studied these matters that the structure
was not quite sound.
The issue involved 'self-reference' and the use and the mention of words which I will explain briefly.
Aristotle's law of the 'excluded middle' was the statement that every
statement is either true false. About a hundred years ago, somebody
pointed out that the law of the excluded middle is a statement and is
therefore not a law after all.
It could just as well be false as well as true.
This was a tangled knot for the logicians to untie until they came to
understand the difference between the use and the mention of a word.
When we use a word, we consider its meaning. When we mention a word, we
are discussing the word itself. If I said Toronto is a large city, I
mean Toronto, that place, is a large city.
If I say Toronto has
seven letters, I am talking about the word 'Toronto'. In the first case I
used the word and in the second I mentioned the word. You see
distinction.
========================= 14 Jesus and Adam =========================
Connecting these ideas and the idea that the Qur'an is composed of
verses that are perfected and then expounded for us, consider the verse
which says:
"The likeness of Jesus before Allah is as the likeness of Adam." (3:59)
It is very clear that what we have in the statement is an equation.
This
verse goes on to explain how that is true because they both came under
unusual circumstances rather than having a mother and a father in the
usual human reproductive way.But more than that, I got to consider the
use of the mention of words.
The words are used clearly enough.
Jesus is like Adam and by Jesus and Adam, we mean those two men. But
what about the mention of the words?
Was the author aware of the
fact that if we were considering the words as words themselves, this
sentence also read that 'Jesus' is something like 'Adam'.
Well, they
are not spelt with the same letters, how can they be alike in this
revelation?
The only answer came to me fairly quickly and I took a look
at the index of the Qur'an.
The index of the Qur'an has been made available only since 1945.
This
book was the result of years of work by a man and his students who
assembled a book which lists every word in the Qur'an and where it can
be found.
So, when we look up the word Isa (Jesus), we find it in
the Qur'an twenty-five times. When we look up Adam, we find it in the
Qur'an twenty-five times.
The point is that they are very much alike in this book.They are equated.
So,
following up on this idea, I continued to examine the index looking for
every case where something was set up as an equation, where the
likeness of something was said to be the likeness of some other thing.
And in every case, it works.
You have to example a verse which reads:
"The likeness of those who reject our signs is as the likeness of the dog." (7:176)
Well, the phrase is Arabic for 'the people who reject our signs' could be found in the Qur'an exactly five times.
And so is the Arabic word for 'the dog' (al-kalb). And there are several instances of exactly the same occurrence.
It was some months after I found this for myself that a friend of mine,
who is continuing this investigation with me, made a suggestion that
there are also some places in the Qur'an where one thing is said to be
not like another thing.
As soon as he mentioned this up to me, we
both went for the index and had a quick look at several places where on
thing is said to be not like another thing and counted their occurrence
in the Qur'an.
We were surprise, and maybe should not have been, to
find that, after all, they do not match up. But an interesting thing
does happen.
For example, the Qur'an makes it very clear in the verse
that “trade” is not like “interest (or usury)”.
The two words will be found six times for one and seven for the other. And so it is in every other case.
When one thing is said to be not like another, they are over for a
difference of one time. It would be five of one and four of the other,
or seven of one and eight of another.
========================= 15 Good and Evil =========================
There is one interesting verse which, I felt, spoke directly to me from
right off the page.
It mentions two words in Arabic, al-khabeeth (the
evil), and al-taib (the good).
The verse reads:
"Say, the evil
and the good are not comparable, even though the abundance of evil will
surprise you. So be mindful of your duty to Allah, O Man of
understanding that you may succeed."(5:100)
Well, I had a look at
those two words in Arabic, the evil and the good, and found in the
Qur'an that they both occur seven times.
Yet the verse here is saying
that they are not comparable.
I should not expect to find that they occur the same number of times. But what does the rest of this verse say?
"The evil and the good are not comparable.
The abundance of the evil
will surprise you" and it did for there were too many of them.
But it
continues:
"So be mindful of your duty to Allah, O Man of understanding, that you may succeed."
So press on. Use your understanding and you will succeed.
That is what the verse said to me. Well, I found the answer in one verse further on where it reads:
"Allah separates the evil from the good.
The evil HE piles one on top of the other, heaping them all together."
Here is the solution to the difficulty.
While
we have several occurrences of al-taib (the good), according to the
principle of this verse, evil is separated from good and is piled one on
top of the other and heaped all together.
We can not count them as seven separate instances.
========================= 16 Occurrences of Words =========================
A favorite difficulty, or supposed difficulty, which critics like to
cite or have cited in the past years concerning the Qur'an is that,
apparently to their thinking, the author of this book was ignorant
because he advised the Muslims to follow the lunar instead of the solar
year.
The critics say the author was unaware of the difference in
the length of years, that if one follows twelve lunar months, one loses
eleven days every year.
The author of the Qur'an was well aware of the distinction between the length of the solar year and the lunar year.
In
chapter eighteen, verse nine, it mentions three-hundred years and gives
their equivalent as three-hundred and nine years. As it happens, three
hundred solar years is equal to three -hundred and nine lunar years.
Let us go back to my original scheme of the occurrence of words in the
Qur'an. The Arabic word for 'month', “shahr”, will be found twelve times
in the Qur'an.
There are twelve months in a year.
If we find twelve
months, how many days should we expect to find? The word in Arabic is
“yawm”, and as it happens you will find that the word occurs
three-hundred and sixty five times in the Qur'an.
As a matter of
fact, the original issue which had me interested in looking up the
occurrence of months and days was this distinction between the solar
year and the lunar year.
Well, for twenty-five centuries, it has
been known that the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth
coincide every nineteen years.
This was discovered by a Greek by the
name of Meton, and it is called the 'Metonic' cycle. Knowing this, I
looked again to the index for the word 'year', sanah and found, sure
enough, that it occurs in the Qur'an nineteen times.
========================= 17 Perfect balance of Words =========================
Now, what is the point of this perfect balance of words? For myself, it
shows the author was well aware of the distinction between using words
and mentioning words, a fine logical point. But more than that, it
indicates the preservation of this book.
After giving a lecture on
the subject of the Qur'an , I touched on some of these subjects and a
questionnaire from the audience afterwards said: "How do we know we
still have the original Qur'an.
Maybe pieces of it have been lost or
extra parts been added?"
I pointed out to him that we had pretty well
covered that point because since these items, the perfect balance of
words in the Qur'an, have come to light only in this generation, anybody
who would have lost the portion of this book, hidden some of it, or
added some of their own would have been unaware of this carefully hidden
code in the book. They would have destroyed this perfect balance.
It is interesting to note too that, well, such a thing might be possible
to organize today by the use of a computer to coordinate all words so
that whatever thought you might have as to a meaning of a sentence or
however you might construe an equation out of a sentence, you could
check for yourself and the book will always have the balance of words.
If that were possible today, if it were possible fourteen centuries
ago, why would it be done and then left hidden and never drawn to the
attention of those who first saw this book?
Why it would be left
with the hope of the author who contrived this, that maybe, in many
centuries, someone will discover it and have a nice surprise? It is a
scheme that does not make sense.
========================= 18 Best Explanation =========================
We are told in the Qur'an that no questionnaire will come to the
Muslims with the question for which a good answer has not been provided,
and the best explanation for whatever his question.
This verse says:
"For everything they say, say we are given something to go back to them and reply." (25:33)
We looked again to the index of the Qur'an and we found the word, qalu
(they say), is found three hundred and thirty-two times. Now, what would
be the natural counterpart?
The Arabic word, qul, which is the
command 'say' and you will find at the index it also occurs three
hundred and thirty-two times.
========================= 19 Origin of the Qur'an =========================
Compilation of the Quran
An interesting feature of the Qur'an is that it replies to critics as to its origin
That
is, no one has yet come up with suggestion as to where this book came
from which is not commented on within the book itself.
In fact, the
new Catholic Encyclopedia, under the heading Qur'an, mentions that over
the centuries, there has been many theories as to where this book came
from.
Their conclusion: today, no sensible person believes any of these theories.
This
leaves the Christians in some difficulty. You see, all the theories
suggested so far , according to this encyclopedia, are not really
acceptable to anyone sensible today.
Where did the book come from?
Those who have not really examined the Qur'an usually dismissed it as
being, they say, a collection of proverbs or aphorisms, saying that one
man used to announce from time to time.
They imagined that there was
a man who, from time to time during the day, will think of some witty
little saying and spit it out and those around him will quickly write it
down, and eventually these were all collected and became the Qur'an.
Those who read the Qur'an will find that it is not anything like that at all.
The
collection of things said by the Prophet is the subject and the content
of the Hadith. But the subjects and contents of the Qur'an are all in a
form of a composition and explanation.
I site as an example the
chapter, Yusuf, which is an entire story in great detail about one
particular episode of one portion of the life of one man. It is a
composition.
It is for this reason that virtually all those who have
actually examined the Qur'an usually refer to it as being the product
of the authorship as attributed to Muhammad and his 'co-adjudicators'.
These were supposed to be people who would sit with him and composed the Qur'an.
You see, they imagined that the Qur'an was composed by a committee.
They acknowledged that there was too much information and it was too well composed for one man to have assembled.
So, they imagined that a committee of men used to meet regularly,
brought their various sources of information, composed something and
then handed to this man and told him, "Go to the people tomorrow, this
is your revelation."
In other words, it was a fraud concocted by a
group of people. But what do we know about fraud?
The Qur'an reminds us
as it says:
"Saw, now the truth has come, and falsehood neither invents anything nor restores anything." (34:49).
It is hard to translate it into English precisely, but what this verse
is telling us is that falsehood is not the source of a new thing.
A new
and truthful thing cannot come from falsehood and falsehood does not
restore, to our minds, the facts.
Truth is in agreement with facts.
Falsehood is something else. So falsehood is empty.
If
something is born fraud, it will never bring us new information. It
will never endure; it will only collapse over a period of time.
========================= 20 The Challenge =========================
Another interesting verse is a challenge which is addressed to those non-believers. It reads:
"Have they not considered the Qur'an, if it came, from other than
Allah, surely they will find in it many inconsistencies."(4:82)
Here is a challenge to the reader.
If
you think you have an explanation where this book came from, have
another look at the book. Surely, you will be able to uncover some
inconsistencies to support your case.
Imagine a student submitting a
term paper or a final exam and then writing at the bottom of the page a
not to his teacher: "You will find no mistakes in this paper.
There are no mistakes on this exam." Can you imagine the teacher letting that rest?
The teacher would probably not sleep until uncovering some
inconsistency after a challenge like that. It is not the way human
beings speak.
They do not offer challenges like that. But here we
have it in the Qur'an, a direct challenge saying: "If you have a better
idea as to where this book came from, here's all you need to do. Find
some inconsistencies."
There are critics who make the attempt, critics who try to say the Qur'an contains inconsistencies.
A
publication that came to my attention recently suggested that the
Qur'an was contradictory on the subject of marriage, because in one
place, it says: "don't marry more than one wife unless you can provide
for them all," and in another place it says:
"Don't marry more than four." They see this as a contradiction.
What they have is a counter-distinction. In one case, the qualification for marrying more than one has been given.
In the other case, a limitation on how many may be married is given. There is no contradiction.
Critics are too quick to grab hold of something, give it an
interpretation, and then offer it as an excuse to escape the reality of
this document.
For critics who would attack the Qur'an and insist it
contains mistakes, we can use the same method as in our reply to
Christians who claim that Jesus is on record as claiming to be equal to
God.
Remember the three categories of evidence offered.
The evidence offered was insufficient, ambiguous or impossible.
You see, if someone cites a verse from the Qur'an, trying to show that
it is a mistake, we only need to show that the verse cited is
insufficient to establish that there is a mistake or we need to show
that the verse cited cannot possibly have the interpretation which the
critic is giving it.
It will always fall into one of these three
categories.
========================= 21 Attributing it to the Devil =========================
I had experience, on one occasion, describing some of the contents in
the Qur'an to a man who did not know the book I was talking about. He
sat next to me with the cover turned over.
I just told him about the
book, what it contained and told him it was not the Bible.
His
conclusion was, the book was miraculous.
This man was a minister in a
Christian Church.
He said, "Yes, that book could not possible have
originated with the man and therefore it must come from the devil,
because it's not the Bible."
The Qur'an comments on this suggestion in chapter twenty-six, verse
two-hundred and eleven, as to those who would suggest that the book came
from the devil.
It points out that it does not quite suit him, does it? Is this how the devil misleads people?
He
tells them, worship none but God, he insists that they fast, that they
practice charity. Is this how the devil misleads people?
Compare the attitude of someone like this, to the attitude of the Jews who knew Jesus and opposed him until the very end.
There is an episode reported in the Bible where Jesus raised a man from the dead, one Lazarus, who had been dead for four days.
When Lazarus came out of the tomb, alive again those Jews who were watching, what did they do?
Did they suddenly say that this man is a true prophet and become believers?
No, the Bible says they immediately discussed among themselves that
"since this man is working on his signs soon everyone will believe in
him.
We've got to find a way to kill him," and they attributed his
miraculous powers to the devil.
He raised that man by the power of the devil.
Now,
the Christians who read that episode will feel very sorry for those
Jews who had clear evidence right before their very eyes and attribute
the miracles to the devil.
Does it not appear that they may be
doing the same thing when we illustrate what we have in the Qur'an and
their final excuse is only: "It originated with the devil."
========================= 22 A Different Story =========================
There are those who insist that the Qur'an was copied, that it originated in Christian and Jewish sources.
As a matter of fact, a book published in recent years called Worshiping
the Wrong God has stated, as though it were a fact, that after the
first revelation of the Qur'an came to Muhammad, peace be upon him, that
his wife died and so he quickly married a Jew and a Christian, and this
is where he drew the rest of his sources for his book.
It was ten
years after the first revelation of the Qur'an that his wife died, and
it was another ten years after that when the Qur'an was virtually
completed that he married a Jew and a Christian.
Did he copy from
Jewish and Christian sources?
In the Qur'an, the ruler of Egypt who
opposed Moses is known as Fir'aun, not Pharaoh.
The Jews and Christians
have always said 'Pharaoh'.
It is easy for an Arab to say 'Pharaoh'. But in the Qur'an, it is Fir'aun, with an 'n'. Why?
Surely
the Jews must have teased the Arabs about that and said: "You've got
the word wrong.
It's 'Pharaoh' and not Fir'aun." But they insisted on it
and it continues that way in the Qur'an, Fir'aun.
As it happens,
this historical writings of Herodotus, the Greek historian, exist to
this day, and Herodotus comments on the ruler of Egypt, being in his day
and in the centuries before him, one man who went by the title of
Fir'aun.
Did the book copy from the Christians sources?
The
Qur'an insists that Jesus was not crucified, that this was only an
illusion, but that the Jews who thought they crucified Jesus were
mistaken because it was not really so.
Christians would have no part of
that.
As it happens, the idea that Jesus was not really crucified is really very ancient and can be traced back to the first century.
But Christians who believed that were eliminated as heretics within the
first two-hundred years after the time of Jesus and they were not
teaching this doctrine anywhere around the Arabian Peninsula fourteen
centuries ago.
Could the author of the Qur'an have been copying from
Christian sources when he says that Jesus spoke to man as a baby (3:46)
and in later life?
The Arabic word used indicates that he was still speaking to man and teaching to them in his forties.
The Christians have always maintained that Jesus was gone by the time he was thirty-three.
It indicates that there could have been no copying.
In
fact, a man would have to be stubborn and insists on the points as
explained in the Qur'an in the face of Christian opposition who would
have said: "No! No! I wasn't like that. We tell the story differently."
Did the Quran copied from the Christians sources
=========================
23 House Cleaning
=========================
Now, we go to the words of the prophets themselves, which represent another path that leads to Islam.
In the Persian scriptures, which have been around for thousands of years, we read:
"When the Persians should sink so low in mortality, a man will be born
in Arabia whose followers will upset their throne, religion and
everything.
The mighty stiff-necked ones will be overpowered.
The
house which was built and in which many idols have been placed will
purged of idols and people will say their prayers facing towards it.
His followers will capture the towns of the Farsi, Entaus and Balkh,
and other big places round about. People will embroil with one another.
The wise men of Persia and others will join his followers." (Desature no.14)
The Muslims recognize this very quickly because the Ka'bah, the
building which all Muslims face in prayers everyday, was at one time
filled with idols and it was part of the mission of Muhammad , peace be
upon him, to purge the house of idols till today.
It was in the next generation, after the time of the Prophet that the wise men of Persia and others did join his followers.
========================= 24 A Prophet Like Moses =========================
What the Bible says about Muhammad?
In the Bible, in Deuteronomy chapter eighteen, we have the words of
Moses who reports that God told him that there would raise up a prophet,
from among the brothers of the Israelites, like Moses.
Christians wish to apply this to Jesus, to say he was the prophet like Moses.
It
is uncomfortable for them to recognize, however that Jesus was not very
much like Moses and Jesus had no father, no wife, no children; he did
not die of old age, and he did not lead a nation; all these things Moses
had or did.
Prophet Mohammad saw prophesied
in various world religious scriptures
But they say, well, Jesus will return; he will return as a victorious person, and so he will be more like Moses.
Do they really expect he will return to also acquire a father and a
wife and children and then die of old age? Moreover, Jesus was an
Israelite.
Which Other Religion Say That Prophet
Muhammad (s.a.w) Will Come
The passage of scripture says that this prophet that was foretold would
be raised up among the brothers of the Israelites, not from the
Israelites.
In the third chapter of Acts, the disciple Peter speaks
to a crowd of people and explains that Jesus has been taken up and he is
in heaven.
100% Proof - Quran is The Word Of God
He will remain in Heaven and he cannot return until all the things that were promised by God come to pass.
Why do you claim Islam to be the true religion?
So what are we still waiting for, does he tell the crowd? He quotes this very saying of Moses saying:
"For God will raise up a prophet from among the brothers of the Israelites like Moses..."
The point is very clear.
Christians like to see this prophet as being Jesus. But read carefully
Acts chapter three, what it says is that Jesus awaits a return.
He cannot return until the fulfillment of this prophecy, that another prophet has to come.
Jesus spoke of it himself and the words survived, just barely, but they
survived in the bible.
Muhammad (pbuh) in the Various World Religious Scriptures
How will the Spirit of Truth abide with Us forever (John 14:16)
There is a lot of argument over the meaning of this word 'Paraclete'.
For now we can leave that aside. What is a 'Paraclete'? It does not
matter.
The first letter of John shows that Jesus was a 'Paraclete'.
He is called a 'Paraclete' and we have Jesus promising another
'Paraclete' is going to be sent.
We lose a lot by this word 'another' in
English because it is ambiguous.
If someone's car breaks down, and
it is a Toyota, and I say, '" I'll go get you another car," maybe I
mean, "I'll go and get you another Toyota because this one you have is
broken," or maybe I mean, "Forget Toyota, they're no good; I'll go and
get you a Datsun."

It is an ambiguous word. But the Greeks had a
word for it. When they meant 'another' of the same kind, they said
“aloes”. When they meant another of a different kind, they said
“heteroes”.
The important thing there is that when Jesus, who was
himself a Paraclete, said "God will send you another Paraclete" he used
the word aloes, not heteroes.
Christians want to say that this other 'Paraclete' that has been sent was different from Jesus.
It was not a man, it was a spirit.
What Jesus said was: God will send you another one like me, another
man." Muslims believe that Muhammad is the fulfillment of this prophecy
by Jesus.
The Qur'an says that this man is mentioned in the scriptures of the Jews and the Christians (see7:157).
Christians came to expect that the return of Jesus because of a Jewish misunderstanding.
'Messiah'
and 'Son of Man' have been given special significance by the Jews, even
though many people were called by this same name as in the Bible.
The Jews came to expect a victorious leader.
When Jesus did not turn out
to be quite what many expected, they hatched the idea that he would
return some day and fulfill all these prophecies.
Christian Challenge
========================= 26 Follower of Jesus =========================
Similarities Between Islam & Christianity
Suppose that someone observed Jesus two-thousand years ago, and he left
this planet, or he went to sleep for two-thousand years and returned
today to look for the followers of Jesus, who would he find? Who would
he recognize? Christians?
I conclude with just this food for
thought: the Bible says very clearly that Jesus used to fast. Do
Christians fast? Muslims fast; it is obligatory on month every year.
The Bible says that Jesus prayed by touching his forehead to the
ground. Do Christians pray in this manner? Muslims do. It is
characteristic of their prayer and no one on earth is probably ignorant
of that fact.
According to Jesus, he told his disciples to greet one
another with the expression, "Peace be with you." Do the Christians do
that? Muslims do, universally, whether they speak Arabic of not.
The greeting for one to another is Assalamu' alaikum (peace be with you).
The brother of Jesus in the Book of James, stated that no man should
suggest what he is about to do of highlight his plans for the next few
days in anyway without adding the phrase "if God wills."
Do not say "I will go here and there do this and that" without adding the phrase "if God wills."
Do Christians do that? Muslims do, whether they speak Arabic or not. If
they so much as suggest they are going downtown to pick up some
groceries, they will add Insha-Allah, which in Arabic means, "If God
wills."
These conclude my thoughts on this subject. May Allah guide us always closer to the truth.
Islam and Christianity -Symposium Gary Miller vs Ahmed Deedat
========================= 27 The Creation of the Universe =========================
“Do
not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined
together, then We clove them asunder? And We made from water every
living thing.
Will they not then believe?”(21:30)
This verse is
specifically addressed to non-believers, and touches upon the creation
of the universe and the origins of all life.
The Quran mentions
the existence of a gaseous mass (41:11) which is unique and whose
elements, although at first fused together subsequently became separated
(fatq).
The separation process resulted in the formation of
multiple worlds, a notion which crops up dozens of times in the Quran
(1:1): “Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.” [1,2]
========================= 28 The Origins of Life =========================
“And We made from water every living thing.Will they not then believe?” (21:30)
The building blocks of all living things are called cells. They are the basic units of life.
Protoplasm
(cytoplasm nucleus) is the substance of all living things. Cytoplasm is
a jelly-like material consisting of water and dissolved substances.
The constitution of protoplasm is about 80-85% water. Without water life is not possible. (2)
None of the myths on the origins of life that abounded at the time of the Quran are present in the text.
Furthermore,
the fact that all life originated from water would not have been a very
easy thing to convince people of 1400 years ago, especially in the
desert!
========================= 29 The Expansion of the Universe =========================
Miracle of the Quran : The expansion of universe
The expansion of the universe is the most imposing discovery of modern science.
Today it is a firmly established concept and the only debate centres around the way this is taking place.
“The
heaven, We have built it with power. Verily, We are expanding it.”
(51:47)‘We are expanding it’ is the translation of the plural present
particle musi’una of the verb ausa’a meaning “to make wider, more
spacious, to extend, to expand.”
Some translators were unable to
grasp the meaning and provided mistaken translations. Others sense the
meaning, but were afraid to commit themselves eg.
Hamidullah talks
of the widening of the heavens and space, but he includes a question
mark. Zidan & Zidan, and The Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs
refer to the expansion of the universe in totally unambiguous terms.
[1,2]
========================= 30 The Mountains =========================
Mountains
have always been looked upon as conspicuous landforms, characterized by
lofty protrusions above their surroundings, high peaks and steep sides.
However,
the Quran accurately describes mountains as stabilizers for the Earth
that hold its outer surface firmly, lest it should shake with us, and as
pickets (or pegs) which hold that surface downwardly as a means of
fixation.
”Have we not made the earth an expanse, and the
mountains stakes (awtad)?” (78:6-7) and “And God cast into the ground
mountains standing so that it does not shake with you.” (31:10). [1,3]
========================= 31 The Developing Human Embryo =========================
Embryology in the Qur'an lecture by Dr. Keith L. Moore (University of Illinois,
Statements
referring to human reproduction and development are scattered
throughout the Quran. It is only recently that the scientific meaning of
some of these verses has been fully appreciated.
The Quran
determines that human development passes through stages (39:6). The
realization that the human embryo develops in stages was not discussed
and illustrated until the 15th century.
The staging of human
embryos was not described until the 20th century. Streeter (1941)
developed the first system of staging which has now been replaced by a
more accurate system proposed by O’Rahilly (1972).
However, the Quran was the first source to mention this (23:12-16).
The Quran and Hadith also state that both parents share in the origins of the offspring:
“O mankind! We created you from male and female.” (49:13)
and “We created mankind from a mixed drop (nutfah-amshaj).” (76:2)
The
mixed drop refers to the mixture and convergence of a small quantity of
sperms with the ovum (and its associated follicular fluid) to form the
zygote.
It has the form of a drop and consists of a mixture of
male and female secretions.”Then we made the drop into a leech-like
structure (‘alaqah).”
(23:14) ‘alaqah in Arabic means (i) to cling
and stick to a thing; (ii) a leech or bloodsucker; (iii) a suspended
thing; and (iv) a blood clot.
Amazingly, each of the meanings for
‘alaqah can be applied to human prenatal development.For example, taking
‘alaqah to mean a leech we find that the embryo is surrounded by
amniotic fluid just as a leech is surrounded by water.
The human embryo clings to the mothers womb, in the same way that a leech clings to the skin.
A
leech is a pear shaped organism and thrives on bloodsucking.
The
diagram above clearly indicates that the shape of the embryo does in
fact resemble a leech!
At this stage the cardiovascular system has
started appearing and the embryo is now defendant on the maternal blood
for its nutrition like a leech!
As there were no microscopes or
lenses available in the 7th century, people could not have known that
the embryo has this leech-like appearance.”
Then out of that leech-like structure We made a chewed lump (mudghah).
” This statement is from Surah 23:14. The Arabic word mudghah means “chewed substance or chewed lump.”
Towards the end of the 4th week, the human embryo looks somewhat like a chewed lump of flesh.
The chewed appearance results from the somites which resemble teeth marks.
The
somites represent the beginnings of the vertebrae (backbone). (For a
detailed discussion concerning the Quran and modern embryology see
1,2,4,5,6).
========================= 32 Lost Civilizations =========================
In
the 89th chapter of the Quran, the city of “Iram” is mentioned: “Have
you not seen how your Lord dealt with Aad, of the city of Iram, with
lofty pillars the like of which was never created in any land?”
Iram
has been unknown to history, so much so that it apparently became an
embarrassment to some Muslim commentators of the Holy Quran.
In
1975, in North-Western Syria the ancient city of Ebla was excavated.
Ebla is over 4500 years old. In the ruins of the Palace Library they
found the largest collection of cuneiform clay tablets ever discovered –
around 15,000.
Written in the oldest Semitic language yet
identified, the tablets reveal that Ebla rivalled Egypt and Mesopotamia
as a major power of the ancient world.
They found in there a record of all the cities that Ebla used to do business with including one IRAM! [7,8,9]
========================= 33 What happened to the body of Pharaoh of the Exodus? =========================
The Biblical version of Pharaoh’s story states that he was drowned in the pursuit of Prophet Moses (Exodus 14:28-29).
Unknown
to the world till only of late, the Holy Quran made a definite
prediction about the preservation of the body of that same Pharaoh of
Moses’ time 10:90-92: “This day We shall save you in your body so that
you may be a sign for those that come after you”.
The body was discovered in the tomb of Amenhotep II in 1898. [2,12]
========================= 34 The resting place of Noah’s Ark =========================
Noah's Ark in the bible and the quran
The Bible states that “And the Ark rested… upon the mountains of Ararat.” Genesis 8:4.
According to the Holy Quran (11:44):
“The
Ark came to rest upon Al-Judi.” According to recent evidence from an
archaeological find in Eastern Turkey, experts believe they may have
discovered the remains of an ancient vessel whose dimensions mirror
those of Noah’s Ark as told in the Bible. However, the discovery was
made on Al-Judi! [10,11]
