Prophet Idris (SW)

Preaching and Opposition

The Prophet Idris (peace be upon him) preached monotheism. He directed his people to abandon idol-worship. He emphasized them not to be captivated by the love of wealth and property. He advised them to abstain from drinking wine and other intoxicants. Only a few men paid heed to his teachings but majority of the people opposed him bitterly. The Prophet Idris (peace be upon him) did not lose heart and continued preaching with unshakeable constancy. He is appreciated for his firm faith and forbearance in the following Verses of the Holy Quran:

“All (Isma’il, Dhul-Kifl and Idris) were men of constancy and patience. We admitted them into Our mercy, for they were of the righteous ones.” (Surah 21: Verse 85-86)

Some Sayings of the Prophet Idris

His lectures were full of admonition and good advice. Some of his sayings are given below:

1. Do not feel jealous of the prosperity of others.
2. He who has unlimited desires, is deprived of the wealth of contentment.
3. One should be sincere in acts of devotion. 
4. It is an act of grave sin to take false oaths. 
5. Patience is a key to victory.
6. He who controls his passions, is fortunate. Only a good act will be a living intercessor before Allah on the Day of Judgment.
7. One who is desirous of attaining perfection in knowledge, should have no concern with immoral acts.

The Learned Prophet

The Prophet Idris (peace be upon him) was born one hundred years after the death of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him). He was the first man who learnt to write. It is said that thirty portions of Allah’s sacred scriptures were revealed to him. He was the inventor of the science of astronomy and arithmetic.

A conversation with Allah!

(Something deep to think about) 

 

One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ah the beauty of
Allah’s creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised Allah for
His beautiful work. As I sat there, I felt his presence with me. He asked
me, “Do you love me?”I answered, “Of course! You are my Lord!”

Then He asked, “If you were physically handicapped, would you still love
me?”

I was perplexed. I looked down upon my arms, legs and the rest of my body
and wondered how many things I wouldn’t; be able to do, the things that I
took for granted.

And I answered, “It would be tough, but I would still love You.”

Then the Lord said, “If you were blind, would you still love my creation?”

How could I love something without being able to see it? Then I thought of
all the blind people in the world and how many of them still loved God and
His creation. So I answered, “Its hard to think of it, but I would still
love you.”

The Lord then asked me, “If you were deaf, would you still listen to my
word?”

How could I listen to anything being deaf? Then I understood. Listening to
Allah’s Word is not merely using our ears, but our hearts. I answered, “It
would be tough, but I would still listen to Your word.”

The Lord then asked, “If you were mute, would you still praise My Name?”

How could I praise without a voice? Then it occurred to me: Allah wants us
to pray from our very heart and soul. And praising Allah is not always with
a prayer, but when we are persecuted, we give Allah praise with our words of
thanks. So I answered, “Though I could not physically pray, I would still
praise Your Name.

And the Lord asked, “Do you really love Me?”

With courage and a strong conviction, I answered boldly,”Yes Lord! I love
You because You are the one and true God!”

I thought I had answered well, but…

God asked, “THEN WHY DO YOU SIN?”

I answered, “Because I am only human. I am not perfect.” “THEN WHY IN TIMES
OF PEACE DO YOU STRAY THE FURTHEST? WHY ONLY IN TIMES OF TROUBLE DO YOU PRAY THE EARNEST?”

No answers. Only tears.

The Lord continued: “Why only pray at mosques? Why seek Me only in times of
worship? Why ask things so selfishly? Why ask things so unfaithfully?”

The tears continued to roll down my cheeks. “Why are you ashamed of Me? Why
are you not spreading the good news? Why in times of persecution, you cry to
others when I offer My shoulder to cry on? Why make excuses when I give you
opportunities to serve in My Name?”

I tried to answer, but there was no answer to give.

“You are blessed with life. I made you not to throw this gift away. I have
blessed you with talents to serve Me, but you continue to turn away. I have
revealed My Word to you, but you do not gain in knowledge. I have spoken to
you but your ears were closed. I have shown My blessings to you, but your
eyes were turned away. I have sent you servants, but you sat idly by as they
were pushed away. I have heard your prayers and I have answered them all.”

“DO YOU TRULY LOVE ME ?”

I could not answer. How could I? I was embarrassed beyond belief. I had no
excuse. What could I say to this? When I my heart had cried out and the
tears had flowed, I said, ” Please forgive me Lord. I am unworthy to be Your
servant.”

The Lord answered, ” That is My Grace, My servant.”

I asked, ” Then why do you continue to forgive me? Why do You love me so?”

The Lord answered, ” Because you are My creation. You are my servant. I will
never abandon you. When you cry, I will have compassion and cry with you.
When you shout with joy, I will laugh with you. When you are down, I will
encourage you. When you fall, will raise you up.

When you are tired, I will carry you. I will be with you till the end of
days, and I will love you forever.”

Prophet Hud (SW)

The chiefs of Hud’s people asked: “Is it not strange that Allah chooses one of us to reveal His message to?” Hud replied: ‘What is strange in that? Allah wants to guide you to the right way of life, so He sent me to warn you. Noah’s flood and his story are not far away from you, so do not forget what happened. All the disbelievers were destroyed, no matter how strong they were.”

‘Who is going to destroy us, Hud?” the chiefs asked.

“Allah,” replied Hud.

The disbelievers among his people answered: “We will be saved by our gods.”

Furthermore, they started to accuse Hud (PBUH) of being a crazy lunatic. One day they told him: “We now understand the secret of your madness: you insulted our gods and they harmed you; that is why you have become insane.” Hud and his people waited for Allah’s promise. A drought spread throughout the land, for the sky no longer sent its rain. The sun scorched the desert sands, looking like a disk of fire which settled on people’s heads.

Hud’s people hastened to him asking: “What is that drought, Hud?”

Hud answered: “Allah is angry with you. If you believe in Him, He will accept you and the rain will fall and you will become even stronger than you are.”
 

Almighty Allah recounts: «Then, when they saw it as a dense cloud coming towards their valleys, they said: “This is a cloud bringing us rain!” Nay, but it is that (torment) which you were asking to be hastened! – a wind wherein is a painful torment! Destroying everything by the command of its Lord!» Surah 46: 24-25

Benefit of Converting to Islam

When someone converts to Islam, God forgives all of his previous sins and evil deeds.  A man called Amr came to the Prophet Muhammad  and said, “Give me your right hand so that I may give you my pledge of loyalty.”  The Prophet  stretched out his right hand.  Amr withdrew his hand.  The Prophet  said: {What has happened to you, O Amr?}  He replied, “I intend to lay down a condition.”  The Prophet  asked: {What condition do you intend to put forward?}  Amr said, “That God forgive my sins.”  The Prophet  said: Didn’t you know that converting to Islam erases all previous sins?

After converting to Islam, the person will be rewarded for his or her good and bad deeds according to the following saying of the Prophet Muhammad : {Your Lord, Who is blessed and exalted, is most merciful.  If someone intends to do a good deed but does not do it, a good deed will be recorded for him.  And if he does do it, (a reward of) ten to seven hundred or many more times (the reward of the good deed), will be recorded for him.  And if someone intends to do a bad deed but does not do it, a good deed will be recorded for him.  And if he does do it, a bad deed will be recorded against him or God will wipe it out.}

A dream that changed my life.. (Hijab story)

 

 

Before I begin this story, I want to say a brief introduction to who I was before. I never wore hijab and it never came to my mind. I was another person back then… and here is how I changed to who I am now, how my world switched to the better … this is the dream that changed my life completely…

It all began on a Wednesday morning…

It’s a normal day, like any other day… and it was time to go to sleep. Let’s say it was about 3.30 in the morning. I had a dream that came to me that removed me from the darkness and brought me to the light.

In the dream… here he was, a man covered with light but his face did not show, whispered in my ears and I still hear his voice in my head!!! He was saying “you’re going to die tomorrow”, nearly three times in a row, it’s like he’s certain that tomorrow is my day.  I felt scared and shocked also! When I woke up, “Sobhan Allah” it was immediately the fajir prayer, “Allahoo Akbar”.

 

 

The day I wore the hijab… I found out that something was missing in my life and I finally found it. It was a day ill never forget! I will never forget the experience that I had and how my life had changed after wearing it. The hijab made me feel pure and special “Subhan Allah.” I do not want to remember my old life but “ilhamdulilah” Allah saved me from the darkness. People should not live as if they are going to live forever; no one knows when his day will come, only Allah Subhana Wata’ala.

 

 

I ran to my father and told him somebody was talking to me and I saw him but of course he did not believe me. He said “read surat Al-Kursi and say Besmelah and return back to sleep”. The next day, my father told me lets go out but I told him I will not go out unless wearing a hijab. At that time, my dad was against the hijab and refused to let me wear it but I wore it anyway. I knew what i was doing was right and I knew someday my dad will understand me.

 

 

 

Praying underwater?!?!

Sobhan ALLAH… A diver praying under water!!
 

Until when..??

Until When????

Written by: MUSLIMAH

Can you please answer me? Answer my questions… answer my thoughts…
I’m confused… lost… my head is filled with unsolved questions…misplaced ideas…!
Until when… fear is in our hearts, broken dreams, an unexpected future loaded with nightmares…until when will we cry?? When will we stop?? When will this life change??….. Is there end to tears???

Can you see the world? Can you see what’s happening around us…what’s happening everywhere… here… and there…! Is it only the wars, bombing and terrorism? Or is there something we don’t understand? … Lies? Hate? Pain? Is it… why are we crying and our world is filled with darkness… filled with sorrow…! How come political issues… that are talked between “well-known” individuals… kills innocent people???

Why is our religion “ISLAM” is being punished? Do we deserve to be called terrorists… when we are actually not? Do we deserve to see death everyday in front of our eyes… just because other religions believe we are the enemies and we aim to destroy the world? How come? People dieing everyday… children starving…families are getting separated…!! Is this what “they” call “HUMANITY”?????

How can I express what’s in my heart? What I see on TV… what people talk about every now and then… what’s in our mind even when we sleep…!! Our tears will stay in our eyes…waiting for a day of sunshine… to smile…to begin a new life…to have faith for building a better future…!!!

Who will answer our call??? It’s praying to ALLAH…who will show us a bright day…an end to our sadness…an end to all this hate…!

So keep faith…that this day will come…a day that tears will be dried… tears will go forever… tears will be switched to smiles… a day we waited for a long time… freedom…peace.. and love! AT LAST……. …… ……

But when…..when???…. Until when????

Change my dead heart..!!!

 

Wash all the filth away and change my dead heart
Make me alive again give me a fresh start

So change my heart please and wash the filth away
Don’t leave me drowning here alone and astray

I spent my life running away from you
and now i have nowhere to turn except you

I turn to you and i am begging you to be saved
and change me into an obedient slave

Wash all the filth away and change my dead heart
Make me alive again give me a fresh start.

I have been doing all my life what i craved
Shaitan and nafs have always had me enslaved

I am ashamed that i have broken your rules
worshipped my nafs and pure ignorant fools

but now i know the path leading me to thee
I bow to you and am asking you to help me

Wash all the filth away and change my dead heart
Make me alive again give me a fresh start

I wish your name to be engraved in my heart
I will be grateful to you. Change this dead heart.

My heart is dark and so my eyes remain dry
Hypocrisy and hubris won’t let me cry

I’m at your door and begging you let me in!
Don’t push me back to my hopeless life of sin

So change my heart please and forgive my sins this day
Dont leave me drowning here alone and astray

Wash all the filth away and change my dead heart
Make me alive again give me a fresh start

The truth about 9/11???

   9/11 in Qura’an??
Now days, there is an issue of “WAR ON TERRORISM” going around the
world. It really started from the 11th September 2001, when the huge
twins of WTC Towers crashed down.One real fact lies behind all this.As if you all know.The day was 11
The month was 9
The building contains 110 floors.

Now, remember the figure. (11 – 9 – 110)
Open the Holy Quran. In Paragraph# 11, Surah # 9, Aayat # 110.
It says clearly…

“LAA YAZAAL BUNYAAN -HUM ‘ALLADHE BANAW REBAH FE QULOB -HIM ‘ILLAA ‘AN TAQAT.T.AcA QULOB -HUM WA- ‘ALLAAH cALEM H.AKEM”

“THE BUILDING, WHICH THEY BUILT, WILL NEVER CEASE TO BE A MISGIVING IN THEIR HEARTS UNLESS THEIR HEARTS BE TORN TO PIECES. ALLAH IS KNOWER & WISE”.

(Which means that no one must be accused for all that happened. ONLY ALLAH KNOWS)

The Holy Quran briefs about all that going to happen more than 1400 years ago.

Dear Friends THIS MESSAGE IS FOR ALL HUMAN ON THIS EARTH. So, spread this message through out the world to let everybody know about the truth. The truth that Muslims are not Terrorists. The truth that Muslims does not like Terrorism. The truth that ISLAM does not teach us Terrorism. The truth that our religion ISLAM is a peaceful religion.

Come let’s pray for all Human on this Earth either alive or dead. May Almighty Allah forgive us all.
AMEEN!

The creator

 

 

يا مسلمين يا كل انسان ينبض قلبه بالرحمة

LOOK AT THOSE POOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN NIGERIA.. WHO DON’T EVEN HAVE A
TINY BREAD OR A DROP OF WATER SO THEY CAN LIVE!!! AND HERE IN KUWAIT
WE HAVE EVERYTHING.. AND WE CAN’T EVEN SAY “IL7AMDELAH”
 
Can I say everything? Can I express every little emotion in my heart?
I don’t think so. I learned a lot, that life is not
just to live, and have fun, nor to have a fancy car or the new type of mobile in the market.
Life is bigger than that, actually greater, filled with things to learn about. But where are
the people who will listen? Because we live in a world filled with fashion, money,
and come on lets show off! But what I saw had told me that life is filled with other things…

What do I mean? The world is filled with children, who never tasted the food we eat,
filled with children without clothes, without those new trends in the Marina shops! J

ust LOOk!

العشرات يموتون يوميًا وهم يتساءلون: أين إخواننا في الدين؟ ولماذا لا يغيثوننا من الهلاك؟! وكيف تمتلىء موائدهم بالطعام، وبطوننا فارغةٌ حتى من كسرةٍ خبزٍ ناشفة!

People here in our country lives a life just full of laughter, never thinking that someone
in this world had never smiled! It’s not only “starbucks”, “burger king”..yea lets eat..
but actually there is someone out there who didnt even tasted those things!!
COME ON PEOPLE… can’t you see..!?

هذا كله فلنتأمل أخي وأختي حالنا نحن: منذ أول قرصة جوعٍ في البطن، تمتد أيدينا لسماعة الهاتف كي نطلب وجبةً من مطعم، أو تتجه أرجلنا نحو المطبخ فتجد في الأدراج والثلاجة كل ما لذ وطاب

Why can’t we just try to forget the way our life is designed, why not change it to
something better! Try to think that actually there is someone in this world, that doesn’t have
what we have. Try to help them in a way that will make you feel better from the inside
rather than the outside.

They just live a life of loneliness, far from our real world. Their world is
filled with broken dreams, an unexpected future, a destroyed world, waiting to be
renewed again.

But I would like to send a small message, from a pure heart, a heart of a child, to everyone,
that life is not worth just going out, having fun, waiting for new styles of mobile phones
but actually there are people out there waiting for help, who can’t even come to our world
and can’t have the things we have. Try to think of them, and imagine if you were in their
place, how will you feel?

لست أفضل منهم، ولكنه اختبار من الله لنا ولهم, { وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِي قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلاَّ أَخَذْنَا أَهْلَهَا بِالْبَأْسَآءِ وَالضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَضَّرِّعُونَ }
صدق الله العظيم
