10 REASONS FOR GAINING THE LOVE OF ALLAH – HOW DO I GAIN THE LOVE OF MY CREATOR

March 13, 2013

Giving preference to what He likes over what you like, at the times in which the whims overcome you, and seeking what He likes even if it is difficult. Ibn Al-Qayim (may Allah mercy him) says: “Giving preference to the satisfaction of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, over the satisfaction of anyone else means to want and to do whatever brings His satisfaction even if it dissatisfied the creatures. This is the rank of Ithar, and its superior status is for the messengers of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon them), and the superior of this status is for the Messengers of strong will, and the superior among those is our Prophet, Muhammad (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him). And all of that could not be attained without three things:

1- Defeating the whims of the self.
2- Doing the contrary to the whims of the self.
3- Fighting Satan and his supporters. … More 10 REASONS FOR GAINING THE LOVE OF ALLAH – HOW DO I GAIN THE LOVE OF MY CREATOR

ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA – HOW DO I DEAL WITH SO MUCH ANTI MUSLIM SENTIMENT – I CAN’T COPE WITH THE PRESSURE OF BEING A MUSLIM – MOVEMENTS AGAINST ISLAM – ISLAMOPHOBIA

August 6, 2012

One of the most common things that Muslims are faced with daily, IS ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA. And unlike the Jews who label anything resembling critique of Israel or the Jewish fate as ANTI SEMMITISM, the poor old Muslims just take it on the chin and plot along.

Allah Subhanaahu Wa Ta’ala has informed us that there will always be people who intend to misrepresent Islam and make it appear evil. Our modern term for this is “Islamophobia,” which means spreading fear and hatred of Islam. Most people who are against Islam have simply been given misinformation and we should help to provide them with an accurate view of Islam, while others deliberately slander the religion even after they know the truth. … More ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA – HOW DO I DEAL WITH SO MUCH ANTI MUSLIM SENTIMENT – I CAN’T COPE WITH THE PRESSURE OF BEING A MUSLIM – MOVEMENTS AGAINST ISLAM – ISLAMOPHOBIA

JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED – OR NOT – WHAT DO THE SCHOLARS OF HISTORY SAY? – WHAT DOES ALLAH SAY?

August 1, 2012

The Muslim Love for Jesus is as big as our love for our own Mothers, to somehow conflate some imaginary hate for christians as hate against Jesus is craziness.

Allah Ta’ala has a whole chapter in the Qur’an named after Mary The Mother of Jesus, Isa (Jesus Name in the Qur’an) is so beloved to us that we memorize verses that speak about his virtues and his birth, life and return to HIS LORD, ALLAH.

The most often debated topic between Christiand and Muslims is the Crucifiction (or CRUCIFIXION), of Jesus peace be upon him.

SO WHAT DO THE SCHOLARS SAY? OBJECTIVITY ON THE CRUCIFICTION … More JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED – OR NOT – WHAT DO THE SCHOLARS OF HISTORY SAY? – WHAT DOES ALLAH SAY?

IBN AL-QAYYIM ON TYPES OF KUFR – MADARIJ US-SALIKEEN PAGES 335-338 – TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH

July 17, 2012

As much as a Muslim learns about Islam and the beauty of it, the more a Muslim fears about falling in to the abyss of the Hellfire.

An imprtant aspect of Islam that is most abused these daysis the knowledge of kufr and it’s types. This knowledge is not acquired so that one becomes judgemental of others, rather it becomes a tool to keep oneself from falling in to it, and we seek the Help of Allah from the evils of our own souls and the accursed shaitan.

And as for the Major Kufr (kufr akbar) – then it is of five types :Kufr of takdheeb (rejection), kufr due to arrogance and pride whilst one acknowledges the truth (tasdeeq), kufr of I’raad (turning away), kufr of shakk (doubts) and kufr of nifaaq (hypocrisy). … More IBN AL-QAYYIM ON TYPES OF KUFR – MADARIJ US-SALIKEEN PAGES 335-338 – TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH

DO WE NEED KNOWLEDGE FOR DA’WAH – CAN A JAHIL GIVE DAWAH – HOW MUCH KNOWLEDGE IS ENOUGH – AM I A SHAIKH?

March 31, 2012

It therefore becomes obligatory on each muslim to invite others to the deen of al-Islam with knowledge and wisdom. The more knowledge a da’ee has the better and stronger the arguments for Islam become, which also makes the da’ee more confident when inviting as the proofs for become overwhelming, thus making a more successful daee.

We have great examples of our dear Prophet Muhammed salAllahu alaihi wa sallam which illustrate the different ways of calling people to Islam, be it with only gestures, hard or soft words depending on the situation and person/persons involved and always with wisdom. … More DO WE NEED KNOWLEDGE FOR DA’WAH – CAN A JAHIL GIVE DAWAH – HOW MUCH KNOWLEDGE IS ENOUGH – AM I A SHAIKH?

IBN TAYMIYYAH ON GHAZZALI – WAS IBN TAYMIYYAH AFFECTED BY IMAM AL GHAZZALI – WAS AL GHAZZALI A MUBTADIYYAH?

March 18, 2012

Many times a person that is studying Islam and the Sciences comes across the name of Ibn Taymiyyah, and for readers of this blog that name should not come across as strange. But what does happen is that people start to have battles amongst each other, one side using Al-Ghazzali as proof while the other uses Ibn Taymiyyah.

They lived close to each other, and though one preceeded the other Ibn Taymiyyah definetly knew of Ghazzali.

But, what did Ibn Taymiyyah actually say about AL-Ghazzali, was he relevant to Ibn Taymiyyah. … More IBN TAYMIYYAH ON GHAZZALI – WAS IBN TAYMIYYAH AFFECTED BY IMAM AL GHAZZALI – WAS AL GHAZZALI A MUBTADIYYAH?

August 7, 2011

Among the punishments for sins is that blessings will be removed and vengeance will be warranted. The servant will not have a blessing removed unless he commits a sin, and vengeance against him will be unwarranted unless he commits a sin. It is as Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, said: … More WHY WE GET TESTED AND TRIALED IN THE DUNYA – AL-JAWAB AL-KAFI – IBN AL QAYYIM AL JAWZIYYA – TRANSLATED

4 IMAMS PROHIBITING BLIND FOLLOWING – ABU HANIFA, IMAM MALIK, IMAM SHAFI’E AND IMAM AHMAD SAID – DO NOT FOLLOW US BLINDLY

May 1, 2011

The topic of blind following (Taqleed) can not be written or spoken about enough, the Muslim world is in such a state these days, that a person who follows the sunnah is considered to be an outsider, anything that does not conform to the religion of someones dead grandfather (who went to hajj) is considered an attack on Islam.

How wonderful would it be if Imam Abu Hanifa, the imam whose Madhhab the Bosnian community claims to follow, could come back so that they could view him. The way he looked, the way he spoke, I am sure that the majority of the population would proclaim him a Wahhabi. Now imagine the sahaba… Alaahul Musta’an. … More 4 IMAMS PROHIBITING BLIND FOLLOWING – ABU HANIFA, IMAM MALIK, IMAM SHAFI’E AND IMAM AHMAD SAID – DO NOT FOLLOW US BLINDLY
