Muslims Don't Need the Bible



The Qur'an Clearly Testifies that the Bible has been Corrupted...

But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah loveth those who are kind. [Quran 5:13]

From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the Day of Judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done. [Quran 5:14]

Among the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper] usages and say, We hear and disobey and Hear but be not heard and Raina, twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. And if they had said [instead], We hear and obey and Wait for us [to understand], it would have been better for them and more suitable. But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few. [Quran 4:46]

The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs (ayaat) of Allah. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. [Quran 62:5]

Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say: This is from Allah, to traffic with it for miserable price! - Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby. [Quran 2:79]

That they said (in boast), We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. [Quran 4:157]

O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His apostles. Say not Trinity: desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah. Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. [Quran 4:171]

And behold! Allah will say: O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah? He will say: Glory to Thee! Never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. [Quran 5:116]

[Jesus] said, Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. [Quran 19:30]

And they say: None entereth Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian. These are their own desires. Say: Bring your proof (of what ye state) if ye are truthful. [Quran 2:111]

Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say: The Guidance of Allah,-that is the (only) Guidance. Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against Allah. [Quran 2:120]

The Story of Hajj



Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
http://www.alrisala.org/Articles/tazkiya/hajj.htm


Long ago about 5000 years ago, in a faraway place called Ur in Iraq, a child was born whose name was Abraham or Ibrahim. He was so gracious, tender-hearted and of pure in faith that Allah gave him wisdom when he was still a child. Allah was so pleased with him that he made him His best friend.

When Abraham grew up, he became a great prophet, and preached the truth and God’s message in his country. Later he traveled to Syria, Palestine and Egypt.

When a beautiful son was born to his wife Hagar, he was ordered by Allah to travel towards Mecca along with his wife and the little child, whose name was Ishmael or Ismail. They all traveled for a long time till they reached a lonely, barren valley, near two small hills called Safa and Marwa. Abraham asked his wife to stay near one of the hills along with the little Ishmael, and started to go away. But his wife protested "Why are you leaving us alone here? Are you leaving us here to die?"

But Abraham replied, "My Lord has commanded me to do this." Then Hagar, breathing a sigh of relief, said: "If Allah has ordered you to do so, then He will not let us die."

After a while, baby Ishmael began to cry for want of water. But there was not a single drop of water to drink. Hagar ran helplessly from one hill to another, but there was no water, nor any human being to give her water. As the baby was crying desperately with thirst and the mother was running from one mountain to another, Allah caused a miracle—a spring gushed forth beneath the feet of Ishmael.

When Hagar saw this from a distance, she shouted "Zam-zam (stay, stay!)." Hagar came running and gave some fresh spring water to the thirsty child to drink. And so his life was saved. This spring later on became famous as Zamzam.

Ishmael and his mother begin to live in the valley and because of the Zamzam spring more people gradually came to settle in the valley, slowly building up a small town, which was later called Mecca.

From time to time Abraham would visit Mecca to meet his family, especially to see his young Ishmael, growing up in the beautiful surroundings of nature—in a lovely valley surrounded by hills, away from the crowded city—away from people of the city who at that time were mostly idol-worshippers.

One night, Abraham dreamt that he was sacrificing his son, Ishmael. This was an order from his Lord. His son was still a child, but Abraham told him about his dream. Ishmael was a brave boy. He was ready to obey the command of God, who had created him. So, without hesitating, he said to his father, "Do what you are commanded, father. Godwilling, you will find me one of the steadfast."

Abraham took his son away to sacrifice him. As he reached a place, which is now known as Mina—a valley near Mecca—Satan appeared and tried to dissuade him. Abraham picked up a few small stones and threw them at Satan.

As Abraham took a knife to sacrifice Ishmael, Allah sent the angel Gabriel (Jibril) with a ram. "Sacrifice this ram. Do not sacrifice Ishmael," said Gabriel to Abraham. Allah was so pleased with this act—the readiness of Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son, that He commanded the believers to observe this day as Id al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice. Every year Muslims sacrifice an animal in remembrance of the great act of Abraham.

Ishmael grew up a strong and loving youth. Abraham and Ishmael were ordered by Allah to build the House of God—the Kabah in Mecca. Both took stones from the nearby hills and started building the Kabah. As they laid the foundation, they prayed, "Our Lord, accept this from us! You are the All-hearing, the All-seeing." They also prayed for a prophet to be born in their family who would teach wisdom to the people and purify their faith. Their prayer was answered many years later, when the Prophet Muhammad was born to their descendants.

Abraham was ordered by God to clean the Kabah for those who come there to pray, and to call people to Hajj: "Call all people to make the Pilgrimage, they shall come to you on foot and on the backs of swift camels; they shall come from every deep ravine."

And so Allah made it obligatory for every Muslim male and female to go for Hajj once in a lifetime, provided their means and health and wealth. Since then believers from every part of the world go to perform Hajj to fulfill the command of their Lord and to remember the great act of the Prophet Abraham.

Importance of Friday Prayer - Juma'ah prayer/Yahya Ibrahim



Friday is the best day of the week. Imam Bukhari and Muslim reported that Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H.) had said, "We (Muslims) came last and yet we are the first on the day of judgment. They have received the books before us (meaning Torah and bible). We have received the book after them (meaning the Quran). Friday was their day to be glorified. However, they disputed on that while Allah had told us Friday is the day to glorify. Thus they will follow us. The Jews glorify Saturday, and the Christians glorify Sunday."

Also reported by Imam Muslim, Abo-Dawod, Al-Nesaii, and Al-Termithi, that Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H.) had said, "The best day during which the sun have risen is Friday. It is the Day Adam was created. It is the day when Adam entered paradise and also when he was taken out from it. It is also the day on which the day of judgment takes place."

Muslims gather for Jumah Prayer in Beijing



In Beijing on Friday many Muslims turned out at a city mosque for prayer sessions. Friday is the main day of prayer for Muslims, and this is the first Friday since riots broke out in Western China—a conflict that may have left as many as hundreds of people dead.

Hundreds of Muslims flocked to prayer sessions in Beijing on Friday. Meanwhile, in China's western Xinjiang region where riots broke out earlier this week, many mosques were still closed, supposedly to minimize further ethnic tension between the Uighur people and the Han Chinese.

At the millennium-old Grand Mosque in Beijing, the congregation was made up mostly of Hui Muslims, Chinas largest Muslim minority, but a handful of Uighurs were there, too.

Xinjiang has long been a tightly controlled hotbed of ethnic tensions, fostered by the Chinese regime's controls on religion and culture and an influx of Han migrants.

That control extended to todays prayers where there is an obvious security presence. The regime is known to deal harshly with those who speak to foreign media. And Uighurs here refused to comment on the violence in their home region.

[Unidentified Uighur]: (Mandarin, Male, no title bar)
"I am not in Xinjiang so I don't know about it. I don't understand what you're saying."

[Unidentified Uighur]: (Mandarin, Male, no title bar)
"I don't understand. I don't understand."

While Chinese authorities led foreign journalists on tours of Xinjiang's capital earlier this week, reporters were generally not permitted to speak to the local Uighurs there.

Uighurs are Turkic people who are mostly Muslim. They make up almost half of Xinjiang's 20 million people.

Dhul al-Qa'dah - Message: Contemplate before it is too late!



Dhul al-Qa'dah First Message: Contemplate before it is too late!

Written by Sheikh Hany Hilmy

In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent, Most Merciful

My Beloved in Allah,We shall start insha Allah, recharging our faith, with Dhul al-Qaeda messages in preparation for the days of Dhul- Hijah.

First of all, who is still supplicating that Allah accepts Ramadan from them? Did your change of state (In terms of weak faith and worship) in Shawal weakened your hope (Rajaa’) and will?

Scholars said: The sign of dependence on one’s deeds (i.e. Depending on your deeds to achieve Allah’s mercy) is the lack of hope in Allah when you stumble!

Let’s say we stumbled in Shawal.. Does that mean that we stop working and we stop renewing our repentance???

We will not lose hope in Allah even if we stumbled. Our hope in Allah is that He helps us when we stumble and forgives us when we sin and erases our wrongdoings.

The Second thing, so we can recharge our will and challenge ourselves, we must learn what Allah desires from us

As Allah the all Mighty said “Then if you slide back after the clear signs (Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him and this Qur'an, and Islam) have come to you, then know that Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.”{Al-Baqara:209}

Allah is the All Mightywants you to be humble..
Allah the All Wise wants you to learn and understand to avoid stumbling in the future.

1. We need now a humble supplication between Allah’s hands that may soften our hearts and push away satan’s whispers..

Allah the all-Mighty said “When Our Torment reached them, why then did they not humble themselves (believe with humility)? But their hearts became hardened, and Shaitan (Satan) made fair-seeming to them that which they used to do.” {Al-Anam:43}

2. Allah the all Mighty said “So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded, We opened for them the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them (in punishment), and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows.” {Al-Anaam:44}

We need to remember the warnings.. And to listen once more to anything that may soften our hearts

We want to engrave this verse in our hearts so we can behave with Allah and understand the dangerous case of (Replacement) ..Allah uses us to serve His religion .. After that we misbehave with Him -the all Mighty -We misbehaved as we felt self-sufficient without Him..

As a result we must understand that our misbehavior will in consequence lead to the seizing of bounties and descending of problems and unhappiness.

Contemplate in the light of this verse carefully: “But if these disbelieve therein (the Book, Al-Hukm and Prophethood), then, indeed We have entrusted it to a people (such as the Companions of Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him) who are not disbelievers therein.”{ Al-Anaam:89}

And relate the verse to the other similar in context:

Allah the all-Mighty said: “Behold! You are those who are called to spend in the Cause of Allah, yet among you are some who are niggardly. And whoever is niggardly, it is only at the expense of his ownself. But Allah is Rich (Free of all needs), and you (mankind) are poor. And if you turn away (from Islam and the obedience to Allah), He will exchange you for some other people and they will not be your likes.”{ Muhammad:38}

Why were we denied the bounties of Ramadan?

Why did we lose our assigned role?

The answer is all clear after understanding the previous verse:Because we didn’t feel in need for Allah .. We misbehaved .. Thus Allah is Rich and doesn’t need us… Your place and the role you should fulfill were given to someone who deserves it more than you.

But who will understand the lesson!!

Who will announce from now the preparation for worship in the greatest days of the year??

Start with contemplation and understanding about Allah .. lots of steps will follow insha' Allah.

The Assignment for the coming week:

· Contemplate on Surat al-Hadeed .. Understand how it can be a cure for your heart.

· Brothers, visit a grave for someone dear to you to soften your heart

· Sisters, visit a hospital anticipating the descending of Allah’s mercy

Dhul al-Qa'dah - Message:That He might have Certitude!


In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent, Most Merciful

And may peace and blessings be upon the prophet, his family, his companions, and the ones that follow his path.

My Beloved in Allah …

O Allah give us from your apprehension what prevents us from committing sins, and from your worship what makes us reach your heaven and from certainty what eases life's disasters on us.

O Allah allow us to enjoy our hearing, vision, and strength as long as you allowed us to live.. and enable it to be our heritage

O Allah allow us to revenge whoever treated us unjustly, and give us victory over our enemies

O Allah Don’t let us love anyone but You. Don’t let our hearts attach to anyone or anything but You


My Beloved …

Do you remember our slogan?


*~*~*~*I was CERTAIN *~*~*~*

Let us help each other treat the shobohat (vagueness) that stand as an obstacle between us and Allah. Let us plant the Certainty seed deep in our hearts’ gardens to end up with a peaceful heart.

Certainty is the cure for our SELF. Hopefully, we can start the ten days with a renewed ‘faith’. We all believe in the great reward given for working hard in those ten days. We all know the best deeds to be done on those ten days. We need to be DEEPLY CERTAINED this year. Deep Certainty motivates for hard work, dusts off laziness, awakens whatever died in your hearts and returns us to the straight path.

Let us study the reasons for Certainty:


The greatest reason: Contemplation

Allah –the all Mighty- said:
{ Thus did we show Ibrahim (Abraham) the kingdom of the heavens and the earth that he be one of those who have Faith with certainty} (alAnaam:75)

The required contemplation needed here is summarized in three points:
1. Contemplate on the perfect names and attributes of Allah
2. Contemplate on your SELF: { And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see?} (Adh-Dhariyat:21)
3. Contemplate on Allah’s messages. { And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning).}(al-Israa:15)


Let us start by contemplating on Allah’s names and attributes; and how to implant the certainty using them

Let us contemplate on a beautiful name of His all Mighty The BENIGNANT “Al-Lateef1” .. l

Let us worship Allah by this name.

Let us learn, believe and get certain about the meanings derived from that name in our lives.

The scholars said: Being ‘Al Lateef’ rotates around three meanings


Tenderness, kindness and gentleness

Allah “Al Lateef” means:

Allah knows the most minute details of every secret and all the mysterious aspects of the invisible, then He conveys them benignlyand tenderly to the deserving.. Furthermore, when benignity of the Divine Acts blends with the subtlety of omniscience, then this is the perfect meaning of the Arabic word lutf which means benignity. The finest details of Allah’s Graciousness and Benignity to His creatures are countless, He is the all gentle in His actions. It was said He is being kind TO them and UNTO them. He is kind to them { Allah is very Gracious and Kind to His slaves.} (Ash-Shura:19) and Allah is kind unto them { Certainly, my Lord is the Most Courteous and Kind unto whom He wills.} (Yusuf:100)

Allah is the most gracious to His servants, and close to them. He is nearer to every being than its own self. He treats the believers with kindness, mercy and beneficence. He guides the wrongdoers (no matter how wrong they were) to repentance and forgiveness. Allah is kind to his servants knowing their detailed status..

The all-knowing Omniscience of Allah encompasses everything; the hidden, the invisible and the manifest; Allah is the All-Aware of the core and essence of things.{ Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves), All-Aware (of everything).}(Al-Mulk:14)

{ O my son! If it be (anything) equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. Verily, Allah is Subtle (in bringing out that grain), Well-Aware (of its place).}(Lukman:16)

He eases life hardships on them.

He answers their supplications.

His beneficence reaches them from where they least expect. His bounties are all clear; no one can deny them except the ungrateful.

He is the one who sends their provisions from where they least expect { See you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and then the earth becomes green? Verily, Allah is the Most Kind and Courteous, Well-Acquainted with all things.}(Al-haj:63) { Allah is very Gracious and Kind to His slaves. He gives provisions to whom He wills. And He is the All-Strong, the All-Mighty.}(Ash-Shura:19)

The believer will receive an easy reckoning only by Allah’s bounty and mercy. Others will receive their reckoning according to His wisdom and just.

The most beautiful words that I read as a meaning to being “Al lateef” was mentioned by ‘Al Salmei’ : Being al Lateef means erasing the sins from the memory of His servants on Judgment Day so as not to feel alas. Also Al Lateef is being Gracious to His servants making Himself familiar to them.

Feel with me this grace. Love Allah. Remember those meanings. Write in a notebook a realistic scene that made you feel the name of Allah Al Lateef.

Prove your certainty in His name Al Lateef by repenting from a sin you commit out of your ignorance of Allah. Tell yourself: Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves). Allah has a right on you: you don’t choose after His choice, to be satisfied with His treatment; as we are His servants and He can do whatever He desires with us.

Let us supplicate Allah to be Lateef to us.

O Allah be kind and gracious by turning what’s hard easy.. As turning hard easy is easy for You to do. O Allah I ask you an easy life and well being in life and Hereafter.

Worship Allah by his name “Al Lateef”. Wait for the next message that will include beautiful words from Ibn al Qayem describing Allah -The BENIGNANT. This will help believers to strengthen their belief.

Don’t forget:

O Allah accept from us Ramadan .. and allow us to reach the ten days of Dhul Hijah and accept our deeds in them from us.
O Allah if you destined us to perform Pilgrimage this year, this will be from your bounty. And if we were prevented by excuse, don’t deny us our reward

May Allah help us get rid of any obstacles that we face in our way to Him

Fulfillment of the needs of the Muslims



Do you not know that accepting Islam destroys all sins which come before it?" "Saheeh Muslim"

To convert to Islam and become a Muslim a person needs to pronounce the below testimony with conviction and understanding its meaning:

I testify "Laa iLaha iLLa Allah, Muhammad rasooL Allah."

The translation of which is:

"I testify that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah and that Muhammad is the final Messenger (Prophet) of Allah"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fulfillment of the needs of the Muslims

Asalamu'aleykum warahmatulahi ta'ala wabarakatu

Bismillahir Rahmani Rahiim Alhamdulilahi Rabbil Alamiin wasalatu wasalamu ala ashrafil mursalin nebiyuna wa habibuna Muhamad salalahu aleyhi wa ala ahlihi wa ashabihi wabarik wasalim tasaliman kathira


Allah, the Exalted, says:

"... and do good that you may be successful". (22:77).

Ibn `Umar (May Allah bepleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "A Muslim is a brother of (another) Muslim, he neither wrongs him nor does hand him over to one who does him wrong. If anyone fulfills his brother's needs, Allah will fulfill his needs; if one relieves a Muslim of his troubles, Allah will relieve his troubles on the Day of Resurrection; and if anyone covers up a Muslim (his sins), Allah will cover him up (his sins) on the Resurrection Day".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: This Hadith tells us that we should fulfill the needs of Muslims for the Pleasure of Allah only, regardless of any vested interest or worldly motive. It is a very meritorious approach. The needs of people who adopt this attitude in life are fulfilled by Allah, and the reward they get for it in the Hereafter will be greater than that to be given in this world.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He who removes from a believer one of his difficulties of this world, Allah will remove one of his troubles on the Day of Resurrection; and he who finds relief for a hard-pressed person, Allah will make things easy for him on the Day of Resurrection; he who covers up (the faults and sins) of a Muslim, Allah will cover up (his faults and sins) in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah supports His slave as long as the slave is supportive of his brother; and he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah makes that path easy, leading to Jannah for him; the people who assemble in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah, learning it and teaching, there descends upon them the tranquillity, and mercy covers them, the angels flock around them, and Allah mentions them in the presence of those near Him; and he who lags behind in doing good deeds, his noble lineage will not make him go ahead.''
[Muslim]

Commentary: Besides other advantages mentioned in this Hadith, we learn the following from it:

1. It is an act of great merit to relieve a Muslim from his financial difficulty.

2. To strive for attaining religious knowledge is a highly meritorious act.

3. To recite the Noble Qur'an, make arrangement for its study and teaching, and hold meetings for the understanding and elucidation of the message of the Noble Qur'an are acts of great distinction and reward.

Pakistan floods & the corrupt Muslim rulers



Video showing the effect of the recent floods in Pakistan and the inaction of the Zardari government and the corrupt Muslim rulers

"There will be rulers after me, whoever testifies to their falsehood and lies, and helped them in their treachery, he is not from me, and I am not from him (i.e. I have nothing to do with him). He shall not come near me at the cistern (Hawdh Kauthar). And whoever does not testify to their falsehood and does not help them in their treachery, he is from me and I am from him and he shall meet me at the Hawdh."
[an-Nasa’i]



"There will be rulers who will do things that you recognize and things that you reject. Whoever opposed them will be saved; whoever stays away from them will be secure, and whoever mixes with them will be destroyed."
[Al-Tabarani]


These ahadith make it clear that a Muslim cannot be neutral when it comes to the treacherous rulers and the corrupt political system. Instead, it is a fard (obligation) that we completely distance ourselves from their treachery and lies.

Islam must be good if the bad guys hate it



Are we all being driven to Islam? By megalomaniac war criminals. Is Islam turning out to be the last refuge.

Our paymasters and warmasters keep themselves and their aims well hidden

And my final quote to you is: will you choose what is best for you or will you lose yourself in this life and in the hereafter.

'Story of the first sin of zina'



Never has zina been as widespread as it is today. So how did it all start? What factors led to this sin?
InshaAllah this video will answer that, and provide to you an illustration of the hands-on efforts of Iblees himself in starting this fitna (tribulation).

The speaker is Kamal El-Mekki. The excerpt is taken from an interview from 'The Deen Show'.

In case you're wondering about the source for the statistic at the end of the video, it was taken from the book, 'Love or addiction?' by Dr. Brenda Schaeffer. [FACT: 32.8% of 9th graders have had sex (CDC, 2003)] - 9th graders are around the age of 14 to 15...

Note: I do apologize; you might notice very slight music in the background (its a nasheed from Osama Al Salman) I actually made this clip a very long time ago, and it was part of my series on zina which all got deleted, I couldn't find the original file, this is all I had with me. Once again, im sorry.

InshaAllah, there will be more future videos about this topic, and don't worry I will not be apologizing about any 'slight' music because there will not be ANY =)

Converted to ISLAM after watching a video!!!



Abdulkerim, a former Christian, explains his process of meeting with Islam and becoming a Muslim as; "I grew up in a Christian family. I had no idea about Islam. One day, I watched a video which explains the proofs of Allah's existence on a website. The video includes that Allah has created mountains and like pegs, they have deep roots embedded in the ground. The video also explains about the Earth's distance from the Sun. If this were any greater, the planet would grow very cold. If the Earth were any closer to the Sun, it would burn up. All these details are created by Allah and led me to become a Muslim."

Abu Bakr, Amir of the Pilgrims



In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah.
May Allah send His peace and blessings upon the beloved Messenger (SAW) and upon his companions, his family, and all who follow his guidance until the Day of Judgment.

Abu Bakr(R.A) Leads the First Hajj Journey in 9 A.H

By IOL Shari`ah Researchers 2004/12/28

Amid great events, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq was ordered to take charge of the Pilgrimage to Makkah in the ninth year after Hijrah. The eighth year after Hijrah witnessed the Conquest of Makkah, the battle of Hunain, the battle of At-Ta’if and many other great incidents. Also, prior to the performance of that Hajj journey, the ninth year after Hijrah witnessed the conversion of the tribe of Thaqif to Islam and the flowing of some Arab delegations to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) proclaiming their conversion to Islam. Following this Pilgrimage of Abu Bakr, the tenth year after Hijrah witnessed an increase of the number of delegations coming to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) such as Arz, `Abdul-Qais, Cindah, Banu Hanifah, etc. This year also witnessed the Farewell Pilgrimage.

Amid these great events, the Pilgrimage of As-Siddiq along with the Muslims had an important legislative position in Islam since during this pilgrimage, the Divine Revelation has come with decisive rulings concerning some matters that will continue as long as Islam remains.

Abu Bakr, Amir of the Pilgrims

In the ninth year after Hijrah, following the Prophet’s return from the battle of Tabuk, he (the Prophet) appointed Abu Bakr to lead three hundred Muslims so as to instruct them rituals of Hajj. Abu Bakr set off to Makkah with those accompanying him; he then proclaimed in people the Prophet’s advice that polytheists are no longer allowed to perform Hajj after this year and no naked person is allowed to perform the Tawaf around the Ka`bah.

The Divine Revelation descended upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with some important verses from Surat At-Tawbah. He dispatched `Ali Ibn Abu Talib to Abu Bakr so that he (`Ali) may proclaim them (i.e. the Qur’anic verses) on the pilgrims in the season of Hajj.

Al-Bukhari reported on the authority of Hamid Ibn `Abdur Rahman that Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “On the Day of Nahr (10th of Dhul-Hijjah, in the year prior to the Farewell Pilgrimage of the Prophet when Abu Bakr was the leader of the pilgrims in that Hajj) Abu Bakr sent me along with other announcers to Mina to make a public announcement, ‘No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year and no naked person is allowed to perform the Tawaf around the Ka`bah.’ Then Allah's Messenger sent `Ali to read out Surat Bara’ah (At-Tawbah) to the people; so he made the announcement along with us on the Day of Nahr in Mina, ‘No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year and no naked person is allowed to perform the Tawaf around the Ka`bah.’"

Books of Sirah (the Prophetic Biography) relate that when `Ali set off to meet Abu Bakr, he rode the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). On seeing him, Abu Bakr asked, “Have you come as a commander or a messenger?” `Ali replied, “Indeed as a messenger.” And he informed Abu Bakr of his mission. So they went on together to Makkah. On the Day of Nahr `Ali rode and recited on people what has been sent down of Surat Bara’ah.

Books of Sunnah relate that when Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) chose `Ali for the mission of reciting Surat Bara’ah on the pilgrims, he said, “No one shall transmit this from me but a man from among my own household.” (Reported by Ahmad and At-Tirmidhi). The reason of this was that the Arabs were accustomed to the tradition that no one can undo a knot but the one who did it or a man of the people of his household. That was why he sent his cousin and son-in-law.

The announcers proclaimed the Prophet’s message on people as did `Ali Ibn Abu Talib who was to recite the revealed verses of Surat Bara’ah on the pilgrims in their large gatherings while performing the rituals of Hajj. The gist of his pronouncement was as follows:

1- No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year. This what had been proclaimed by the announcers and that which was included in Surat Bara’ah in Almighty Allah’s saying, [O ye who believe, truly the pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque…] (At-Tawbah 9:28).

Prior to that, Quraish used not to prevent anyone from coming to perform Hajj to the Ka`bah since their economic interests were virtually associated with the Sacred House.

2- No naked person is allowed to perform the Tawaf around the Ka`bah. Because in the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance, it was a condition that the pilgrim (a man or a woman) who wants to perform Hajj to Makkah to be dressed in the usual garments worn by the Quraishites. Otherwise, he/her should perform Hajj while totally naked. Islam prohibited that bad habit.

3- Giving four months’ respite to those idolaters who had not signed a treaty with the Muslims to come and go in the Arabian Peninsula as they desire, but after that Allah and His Messenger would be free from any obligation towards them. As regards those idolaters who had a special treaty with the Prophet and had kept it faithfully, the treaty was to be held as valid until its term ran out. This meaning was the focus of the mission of `Ali Ibn Abu Talib that he came to proclaim through reciting Surat Bara’ah.

Islam gave respite to the same idolaters who were stubborn in their disbelief, fought against the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) killed people of his household and at the same time they remained on their disbelief despite the victory of the Muslims and the widespread of Islam throughout the Arabian Peninsula . The Muslims had not taken them by surprise. Rather, they gave them a respite so as to make a choice, either to convert to Islam voluntarily or to evacuate their domiciles and depart the Arabian Peninsula that completely converted to Islam after their deep-rooted enmity.

A Divine Arrangement

The question arises now is: Why had not the Prophet himself led the Pilgrimage in the ninth year after Hijrah?

Events developed as follows: Abu Bakr led the Pilgrimage in the ninth year with a few number of Muslims, then, in the following year the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj with more than one hundred thousand Muslims. This was a natural procession of the events because of the following:

1- Prior to the Farewell Pilgrimage, the conditions of the Muslims had not stabilized completely since there were still nearby tribes that remained on their disbelief such as Hawazin, Thaqif, Tai’ and the Romans threatened the borders of the Muslim territories from the north. Then, delegations came to proclaim their conversion to Islam before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and some battles took place during the eighth and the ninth years after Hijrah that solved this problem. Afterwards, the situation improved in favor of the Muslims and became completely suitable for them to perform a whole pilgrimage with their Prophet without fear (of any enemy).

2- The pilgrimage of Abu Bakr played two important roles in preparing for the Farewell Pilgrimage. First, reciting Surat Bara’ah on the Arab delegations coming from all around the Arabian Peninsula had declared clearly the stance of Muslims towards the remaining Arab idolaters. This pushed them to reconsider the matter and make their decision. And, there was no better gathering than that of Hajj to proclaim through which such a pronouncement.

Second, it put an end to the previous acts that were associated with Hajj during the pre-Islamic period of Ignorance and thus the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became only busied with clarifying the rituals of Hajj in their pure images that were transmitted from him and followed by the believers at every age.

The Talbeeyah



Labeyek Allah Huma Labeyk : Labeyk La Sharika Laka!

"Here I am O Allah! Here I am. Here I am. You have no partner, here I am. Surely all praise, grace and dominion is yours, and you have no partner".

When recited with sincerity and understanding, the Talbeeyah is a reaffirmation of the pilgrim’s belief in Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) and a confirmation of submission, spiritual and physical to Allah's command.

"BLACK FLAGS FROM KHURASAAN"



Analyzing the Hadith of "Black Flags From Khurasaan".

soon the point of no return ( The Sea of Galilee )



We will show them our signs in the furthest regions (of the earth) and in their souls, until it becomes clear to them that this is the truth (Quran 41:53)

YOU GOT TO BE LIVING ON THE MOON TO THINK THAT THE MAHDI WILL BE A SHIA



The term "MAHDI" is a title meaning "The Guided one".

The arrival of Mahdi, Dajjal & Planet X



A ten minute message on the facts about the coming of the Mahdi(Guided One), Dajjal(Anti-Christ) and PlanetX.

A message to compare the Hadith(Sayings of The Prophet) and Planet X whether they are the same events that will take place on Earth.

Planet X was predicted to occur around 2012. The question is, Will it occur? And will the events foretold in the Hadith be the same as planet X?
Let's find out.

Calculation of the coming of Dajjal:
GOD said in the Qur'an,"One day on the sight of your Lord is as a thousand years of your reckoning."

1day=1000/1=1000yrs
1day=1000/12mon=83.33yrs
1day=1000/52wk=19.23yrs

Dajjal will deceive on Earth for 40days a day like a year, a day like a month and a day like a week.
A day like a year was a period of 1000yrs, a day like a month was a period of 83.33yrs and a day like a week will be a period of 19.23yrs according to the above calculation.

Dajjal has already completed his 2nd day of 40days and is currently on his 3day like a week mission systematically for 19.23yrs. His 3rd day started on 9/11/01
So 2001+19.23=2020 if the calculation is right then 2020 will be the appearance of Dajjal.

DAJJAL, MAHDI, ISA, AND PALESTINE

Fighting For Jannah



There existed two people which the prophet Muhammad (SAW) told us about at the time of the prophet. And they used to challenge each other in everything they did. They loved each other for the sake of Allah, and they tried to pray and beat each other in prayers so they prayed night prayers and would fast more days, when this friend heard about his brother that he would fast two days his brother would fast three days, when he heard about him that he was fasting every Mondays and Thursdays the other brother would fast day on day off, when he donated from his wealth this much the other brother would beat him and donate that much.

One day they went out to jihad, fighting at battle against people who were attacking the Muslims, attacking the oppressed ones, driving people out of their homes so they thought, this is a great chance to reach the highest place in paradise, coz Allah loves those who defend the weak, so they set out and begun to fight in the battle until they lost each other. Then one of them was a captive and those who oppresses enemies, they caught this captive and they said to him.

They begun to torture him and torture him and every time they tortured him he begun to laugh and the mushrikins said, why are you laughing? Im torturing you, youre a captive, he said: I am laughing because alhamdullillah I am going to die as a shaheed and beat my brother to Jannah, thats it Ive beat him and they said: What the ... What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you Muslims? The same person like you we caught before he said the same thing before he died. And he started to cry but he still died, and Allah says that they met each other in paradise.

THE MUSLIM RULERS/LEADERS where do our alleigances lie?
The rulers who have governed the Muslim World since the destruction of the Islams unifying state (the Khilafah) in 1924 have not only neglected the command of Allah Swt (The shariah), but have oppressed their own people, acted upon the commands of other nations leaders, and assisted in the wilful destruction of Muslims resources. As Muslim youth, we need to aware of the reality of the Muslim world and arm ourselves with the knowledge we need to know what is the Islamic view towards the situation we are in today. Join us on Saturday the 22nd of May when we discuss this critical issue, using specific cases such as that of Aafia Siddiqui, and the position that every single Muslim should have towards those who rule the Muslims today and what Islam says regarding the matters related to ruling.

Abduraheem Green "They Are Feasting On Us"



Thawban (radiallaahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah said: "The nations are about to call each other and set upon you, just as diners set upon food." It was said: "Will it be because of our small number that day?" He said: "Rather, on that day you will be many, but you will be like foam, like the foam on the river. And Allah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies and will throw wahn (weakness) into your hearts." Someone said: "O Messenger of Allah! What is Wahn?" He said: "Love of the world and the hatred for death."

[Saheeh: Related by Abu Dawud It was authenticated by al-Albaanee in as-Saheehah (no.958)]

Umar bin al-Khattab (ra) said, “If a goat tripped on the road, I would be afraid that Allah would ask me why you didn’t pave the road for her O Umar”~Umar ibn Abdul Aziz who used to cry at night due to the fear of his accountability to Allah (swt) for the “stranger, beggared and straying, and the poor and the needy, and the prisoners in captivity.”~the Khulafah did not act justly for the sake of morality or achieving some medal of honour.

Muslims inventions during the dark ages الغرب يعترف بتقدم المسلمين



For those who do not like reading books, it is time to search and start reading.

The Europeans were backward and lived in dark ages from 8th to the 12 th centuries because they were living under the authority of the church which burned many scientists alive such as Giordano Bruno who said that earth rotates around the sun because this contradicts the bible . they are getting advance nowadays in science because they they are getting away from their religion whereas The Arabs and the Muslims, were very much advanced at that time ,but they are getting away from science because they are going away from their religion and they abandoned the Quran and followed their desires .

The Fastest Growing Religion!!.mp4



O people! Know that the years, months, weeks & days are flying by very quickly..
Time is working against us all and each day, each minute, each second gone by is more valuable than we realize. We have realized that death in inevitable & that one by one we will all go. This world around us, our brothers, our sisters are desperate for guidance & it is up to us to lead the way. We probably cannot change the world but we can surely build a strong foundation and strengthen the youth so that they can help carry on this message of Islam after we pass away. As time passes us by, every single member of this group will also disappear. Even I myself will go and and we will just be another story told. I pray & hope that the brothers & sisters find the strength to overcome their battles, hold tight to the Rope of Allah and reach our destination to Paradise TOGETHER, inshAllah.

Say (O Muhammad): "O my Servants who have trespasses against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." Quran 39:53

"Turn to your Lord (in repentance) & follow His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that you shall not be helped." 39:54

"And follow the best of (the courses) revealed to you from your Lord, before the Penalty comes on you - of a sudden while you expect it not!-" 39:55

"Unless the soul should (then) say: 'Ah! Woe to me!- In that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah & was among those who criticised!" 39:56

"Or it should say: 'If only Allah had guided me, I would certainly have been among the righteous!" 39:57

"Or it should then say when it (actually) sees the penalty: 'If only I had another chance, I would certainly be among those who do good!" 39:58

"(The reply will be:) 'Nay, but there came to you My Signs, and you rejected them: you were too prideful & became of those who rejected faith." 39:59

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE LIVING THINGS

This strange and wonderful universe in which we live, teeming with life and living things both visible and invisible, filled with constant motion that never stops or ceases, will remain like this until the Day comes on which Allah will destroy all living things except what He wills.

Quran 55:26 “All that is on earth will perish”

Quran 28:88 “......Everything (that exists) will perish except His own Face. To Him belongs the Command, and to Him will ye (all) be brought back.”

When that day comes, the trumpet will be blown and thos Trumpet-blast will put an end to life on earth and in the heavens.

Quran 39:68 “The Trumpet will (just) be sounded, when all that are in the heavens and on earth will swoon, except such as it will please Allah (to exempt). Then will a second one be sounded, when, behold, they will be standing and looking on!”

This will be a huge and destructive blast which a man will hear and will not be able to make any bequest or return to his family and friends.

Quran 36:49-50 “They will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves! No (chance) will they then have, by will, to dispose (of their affairs), nor to return to their own people! “

The Prophet(saw) said as compiled by Bukhari and Muslim:

“Then the trumpet will be blown and no one will hear it but tilt his head. And he(saw) said, the first one to hear it will be a man who will be repairing a trough for his camels.

“ He will fall unconscious and the people will fall unconscious..!”

The Hour when the trumpet will be blown will begin on Friday. In Muslim it is narrated by Abu Hurayra (ra) the Prophet(saw) said:

“The best day on which the sun rises is on Friday. On this day Prophet Adam (as) was created, he entered Paradise on Friday. On this day, he was expelled from paradise and the Hour will only come on Friday. Muslim 1356

According to the Prophet(saw), the Hour will come on Friday and on Friday people will be resurrected too. Abu Dawood 1361

The Prophet (saw) said;

“How can I relax when the bearer of the Trumpet has put the Trumpet to his lips and tilted his forehead, and is listening out, waiting for the command to blow the trumpet?”

The people asked: “What should we say, ya Rasolullah?

The Prophet(saw) replied:

Say: “HASBUNALLAH WA NI’AM AL-WAKEEL. TAWAKKALNAA ’ALALLAHI RABBINAA”

(Allah is sufficient for us and He is the best Disposer of affairs; we put our trust in Allah, our Rubb)

Sura Quraish (Quraish :Custodians of the Ka'aba)



Explaination of Sura Quraish
Sura Quraish (Quraish :Custodians of the Ka'aba)

(106:1) As the Quraish become accustomed,
(106:2) (that is,) accustomed to their journeys in the winter and the summer.
(106:3) so they should worship the Lord of this House(kaba),
(106:4) who has fed them against hunger and made them secure against fear.

Explaination

To understand the Surah well it is essential that one should keep the historical background relevant to the contents of this Surah and of Surah Al-Fil in view.

This Meccan Sura is, indeed, the supplement to the preceding one; Sura Fil. The verses of the Sura are a clear evidence for this idea. They describe the blessings the Quraish tribe were given to enjoy; might they be thankful to Him and worship Him, the Lord of the Sacred House (Ka'ba) from which they obtained all their honour and high social status.

In the previous Sura (Fil) the story of the destruction of the possessors of the elephant and Abrahah's army, who came to Mecca intending to destroy the Ka'ba and obliterate that Sacred House, was stated. In the first verse of this Sura which is, in fact, the supplement to it, followed to the idea that 'We destroyed the companions of the elephant and made them like straw eaten up' before the advent of the Prophet of Islam (s),


"(We maintain for them) their trading caravans by winter and summer."

The purpose of the unifying and familiarity of the Quraish may be due to their love for their sacred land. The political and economical importance of the Holy Shrine (Ka'ba), for the Quraish, then secure from the invasions of the hostile tribes in the Arabian Peninsula thus made them monopolize the trade of the area from the North to the South and vice-versa.


In the summer, they used to go to Syria which had moderate weather and in winter to Yemen where they enjoyed a warm climate, for the purposes of trade, and it was by Allah's Grace that they travelled safe and undisturbed on their journeys, otherwise, the routes were not safe and none could travel without being plundered and suffering death and destruction or suffering heavy losses. (Of course, for the same love, they did not leave Mecca to settle in these places ).

It was the position of the Quraish with regard to their connection with their services to the Holy Ka'ba that they received, by the Will of Allah, the security and honour from the people. He planned to keep them safe, by His Grace, for the advent of Islam and the holy Prophet (s) to emerge from that tribe and in that sacred land.

But, the same tribe, the Quraish, whose protection, safety and honour was due to the Holy Ka'ba being in their city and they being its guardians, later became the prime enemies of Islam. At the beginning, the main cause of their opposition, to the advent of Islam, was the fear of losing their supremacy in the political and economical fields


So let them worship the Lord of this House (Ka'ba)".

"Who fed them against hunger and secured them from fear".


And has made them safe from fear.) meaning, He favors them with safety and gentleness, so they should single Him out for worship alone, without any partner. They should not worship any idol, rival or statue besides Him. Therefore, whoever accepts this command, Allah will give him safety in both this life and the Hereafter. However, whoever disobeys Him, He will remove both of them from him. This is as Allah says,

﴿وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلاً قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ ءَامِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ اللَّهِ فَأَذَاقَهَا اللَّهُ لِبَاسَ الْجُوعِ وَالْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصْنَعُونَ - وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَهُمْ ظَـلِمُونَ ﴾


(And Allah puts forward the example of a township, that dwelt secure and well-content: its provision coming to it in abundance from every place, but it denied the favors of Allah. So, Allah made it taste extreme of hunger and fear, because of that which they used to do. And verily, there had come unto them a Messenger from among themselves, but they denied him, so the torment overtook them while they were wrongdoers.) (16:112-113)


When the Quraish had been granted such great blessings; security in trade for gaining profit and in life for being honoured, they should have gratefully worshipped the Lord of the Ka'ba, Who, inspite of their land being only a desert and thus unproductive, provides them with every kind of good food and the other provisions of life, through merchandise and the pilgrimage, which is brought to their very door. And Allah had protected them from the most formidable enemy, Abrahah.

This was an open admonition to the Quraish who, at the start of the ministry of the holy Prophet (s), had been the most persistent enemies of the apostle of Allah and the message of the Unity of the Lord which he preached. It was as well as a warning inviting their attention to the Mighty power of Allah Who could also destroy them and humiliate them as He did with their mighty foe, Abrahah.

The sura gives us lesson to thank Allah for all the blessing and to spend our life in total obedience of Allah. We are created to worship Allah, And this is not simply in prayer, fasting and hajj, but in every action we do.Allah says:

Wa ma khalaqta al-jinn wal ins illa liy`abudun.ma ureedu minhum min rizqin wa ureedu an yu`imun. inna Allahu hua ar-razzaqa dhul quwwat il-mateen -

Allah says:

And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).I seek not any Rizq( provision) from them (i.e. provision for themselves or for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e. feed themselves or My creatures). Surely, Allah is the All-Provider (Razzaq), Owner of Power (Zul-Quwa), the Most Strong.

Quran Sura 51-Adh-Dhairyat Ayut 56-58


IT IS CLEAR FROM The ABOVE AYUT THAT IT IS OUR OBLIGATION to live a life of total obedience to the Almighty God. This duty is described in the Holy Qur’an as Ibadah, which is often inaccurately translated as worship or prayers. However, the true meaning of the term Ibadah can only be understood if we combine two apparently unrelated concepts: one is surrender, obedience, submission; the other is love, adoration, devotion. Total and unconditional compliance to all Divine injunctions is obviously required; at the same time, this compliance ought to be with a spirit of wholehearted devotion and love for the Creator.The Holy Qur’an teaches us that the faithful are those who love the Almighty God over everyone and everything else. When we love our Lord, we find it easy to obey Him.

This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Quraysh, and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.
