How many Muslims must Die???

With the situation deteriorating in Syria amid another massacre of Muslims being exposed, the continuing drone attacks in Pakistan and the cleansing of Muslims from the West Bank – what will it take for the Ummah to wake up! How many more catastrophes like Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Chechnya… must we witness before we realize that we must do something.

How many Muslims must die…?

Before we realize that the disbelievers are all one, regardless if they are from Britain, America or United Nations. None of them will give Muslims sanctity unless they give up their deen. They are indeed our enemy.

O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (unjust). [5:51]

How many Muslims must die…?

Before we realize that the rulers in the Muslim lands are slaves to the disbelievers and have betrayed the Ummah. They never defend or support the Muslims rather they use their armies and resources to support the war against Islam and Muslims.

Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of Taghut (false deities). So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak. [4:76]

Statements of Scholars Regarding the Replacers of the Sharee’ah!!!

Our scholars have spoken about the Kufr of these religions and void legislations — and they judged those who legislate it and act upon it, to be disbelievers and apostates.

Ibn Hazm said, {“Whoever rules by the Gospel in issues where there is no text from revelation in the Sharee’ah of Islaam, then he is a Kaafir Mushrik outside of Islaam.”} (Ihkaam al-Ahkaam Fee Usool al-Ahkaam 5/153)

Also, Ibn Taymeeyah said, {“Its known by necessity from the religion of the Muslims and by the agreement of all the Muslims, that he who permits the following of a religion other than the religion of Islaam or following a law other than the Sharee’ah of Muhammad (saws), then he is a Kaafir.”} (Majmoo’ al-Fataawaa 28/524)
And he similarly says, {“The Sharee’ah revealed from Allaah, which is the Qur’aan and Sunnah that Allaah sent His Messenger with, no one from the creation is allowed to leave it. And no one leaves it but a Kaafir.”} (Majmoo’ al-Fataawaa 11/262)
And he says, {“Whenever a person legalizes what is illegal by consensus or illegalizes what is legal by consensus or replaces the Sharee’ah that is agreed upon by consensus, then he is a Kaafir by the agreement of the scholars of Fiqh.”} (Majmoo’ al-Fataawaa 3/267)

Ibn Katheer says, {“So whoever leaves the clearcut Law revealed to Muhammad bin ‘Abdillaah the final of the Prophets, and refers to other sources for judgment, such as abrogated laws, then he is a Kaafir.”} (al-Bidaayah wan-Nihaayah 13/119)

Where there is du'a there is hope...

By Sister Fatima Asmal

Tuesday the 4th of February was a day, which changed my life, my thinking and my spirit irreversibly and forever. It will always be my pot of shining gold at the end of the rainbow, my hope in times of despair, my silver lining in every dark cloud…

I often relate my magical little story to people, and more often than not, I can hear the disbelief in their voices, and see the doubtful expressions on their faces. But I cannot blame them for this, for, had someone told me the same story a few years ago, I, too would have probably thought it was fabricated, or at the very least, exaggerated.

You see, I had always thought that each individual has his/her own preferences in terms of the form of ibaadah he/she gravitates towards. Some people prefer standing in supererogatory prayers for long hours, others prefer reciting Qur’an, some enjoy dhikr others prefer du'a…

And I had resigned myself to the fact that du’a just didn’t seem to be something which I could put my heart into. Perhaps it was lack of faith on my part, or perhaps it was sheer laziness. Or perhaps I didn’t know how to ask, or when to ask. For whatever reason, du’a was always something ritualistic in my day-to-day life - a few lines of memorized Arabic words at the end of fardh salah, no tears, no smiles, no emotions, and that was it. In fact more often than not, I would leave it out.

Until Ramadan, two years ago. I was going through an extremely tough time - sadly most of us are when we decide to ask Allah - when I received an e-mail from a mailing list I subscribe to. The brother who had sent the mail reminded readers of the assured acceptance of du’a made on the Night of Qadr (Laylatul-Qadr). He said that since this night, in all probability, occurred on one of the last ten days of the month, and since nobody knew exactly which night it was, everyone should make a list of the things which they really wanted, and on each of the last ten nights, they should fervently and passionately cry out to Allah, asking Him to give them those things. This way, the brother said, everyone would have made du’a on each and every one of the last ten nights, and hence they would be sure that they ‘caught’ the Night of Qadr, and if Allah willed, their du’a would be assure of acceptance.

AL IFTIRAAQ - Sectarian Divisions

Allah said:

"Verily, this is My way, leading straight: follow it: follow not (other) paths: they will scatter you about from His (great) path: thus does He command you. So that you may be righteous." [6: 153]

So beyond doubt there is a single right path and there is divisions. You cannot deny that there will be divisions, it is inevitable but instead you must search for the right path.

THE AHADEETH OF AL IFTIRAAQ

There are Ahadith that there will be 73 sects, 72 of which will be in hellfire.

The Prophet (pbuh) said:
"…by the one whose hand my soul is in, My Ummah will be divided into 73 sects, 72 are in hellfire." The Sahabah asked "who are the saved sect?" he (pbuh) said: "Al Jama'ah".

If this is the reality, then we must search for the saviour sect, especially as Ahl Al Sunnah Wal Jama'ah is the minority, it is only one out of 73 sects. So Ahl Al Sunnah wal Jama'ah will always be the minority.

Abu Huraira narrated
"The Prophet (pbuh) said: "the jews were divided into 71 or 72 sects, and Christians the same, and my Ummah will be divided into 73 sects." [Tirmidhi 2564, Kitab ul Imaan]

 

Characteristics of Faith

We all look for happiness and hope for it. Some people may think happiness lies in having a lot of money or in having a high status or a position of power. However, Bilaal saw happiness in faith in Allah, as he repeated, “Ahadun Ahad (Allah is One… Allah is One)”, while the polytheists made him lie on the burning sands of Makkah in the hot desert at mid-day, putting a huge stone on his chest, thus making it difficult for him to breathe. This happiness was also seen by Ibn Taymiyyah as he said, “What can my enemies do to me? My Paradise is in my heart and they cannot take it from me. If they exile me, my exile would be a journey for worship; if they imprison me, my prison would be seclusion; if they kill me, I would die as a martyr as the Book of Allah and the Sunnah (tradition) of His Messenger (saws) are in my heart.”

Faith has a certain sweetness that is known only to those who have tasted it. The Prophet (saws) said: “The one who accepted Allah as a Lord, Islam as a religion and Muhammad as a Messenger, has tasted the sweetness of faith.” [Muslim]

The Prophet (saws) also said: “There are three qualities by which he who is characterized (with them) will taste the sweetness of faith: that Allah and His Messenger are dearer to him than anything else; that he loves a person purely for the sake of Allah; and that he hates returning to disbelief after Allah has rescued him from it just as he would hate to be cast into the Hellfire.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

One righteous man said about his enemies, “If they knew the faith that is in our hearts, they would fight us for it.” Whoever wants happiness in this life should abide by faith; whoever wants happiness in the Hereafter should abide by faith; and whoever wants to be secure should abide by faith.

What is faith?

What to Remember when facing Trial...

This Article should be kept handy to read whenever we start doubting or whenever we get misled by Shaytaan. 

“The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allaah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath.” (al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi) 

And if you have been sick and suffering, sure it is not easy. But again, know in your mind and believe in your heart that it is indeed better for you. For, if you bear patiently, it will be a means of expiation for your sins and a source of great reward.

The Prophet (PBUH) said:
 "There is nothing that befalls a believer, not even a thorn that pricks him, but Allah will record one good deed for him and will remove one bad deed from him." (Muslim) 

And: "On the Day of Resurrection, when people who had suffered affliction are given their reward, those who were healthy will wish their skins had been cut to pieces with scissors when they were in the world (when they see the immense rewards for the afflictions they suffered)." (Tirmidhi-Saheeh by al-Albaani) 

And if life has been difficult, worries surround you and calamities after calamities befall you, hear the good news from the Prophet (PBUH):
 "Trials will continue to befall the believing man and woman, with regard to themselves, their children and their wealth, until they meet Allah with no sin on them." (Tirmidhi)
