[Jul. 15th, 2009|08:26 am] |
“This world is a deep ocean in which many knowledgeable people have drowned. In this ocean, piety (Taqwa) should be your ship; Your cargo should be Iman (true faith); Your sail on this ship should be Tawakkul (complete reliance on Allah); The captain should be reason (Aql); Your guide should be Knoweldge (Ilm); Your anchor should be patience (Sabr).”

| Enemies and Friends of Shaytan |
[Jun. 24th, 2009|10:32 am] |
There are 15 enemies and 11 friends of Shaytan. Here is the list.
ENEMIES OF SHAITAN (THE CURSED ONE)
1. O Prophet of Allah, my first enemy is you and your Ahlul-Bait (progeny) because if it wasn't for you and your AhlulBait, my mission would be quite successful. There would have been not even a single believer (follower of right path shown by Allah). You bought the religion of Allah (al-Islam) to this world, You made people believers of Allah's communication. 2. O Prophet of Allah my second enemy is that just ruler who rules a nation with complete justice. 3. O Prophet of Allah, my third enemy is that rich person who does not have any ego or feel superior to other poor people around him. 4. O Prophet of Allah, my fourth enemy is that business man who perform his business with justice. 5. O Prophet of Allah my fifth enemy is that Aalim (scholar) who fears Allah and practice what he preaches. 6. O Prophet of Allah, my sixth enemy is that specific Mo'min (believer) who work on showing other the path of truth. Who offer other the knowledge of Wajibats (obligatory) and Haram (forbidden) duties of Allah. This person is undoing all my hard work. 7. O Prophet of Allah, my seventh enemy is that person who does not listen to what is forbidden, does not see what is forbidden, and does not eat what is forbidden. Comment by Maulana Sadiq Hasan Qibla: This person does not look any Na-Mehram women/men (a women with whom a man can marry or a man with whom a woman can marry), does not watches movies or shows. This person prevent himself or herself from listening to Music, Songs, lies, or Geebath (Backbiting). This person does not eat forbidden food (meat which is not cut according to the Islamic ways such as meat cut by non Muslim business men, etc.) and that food which is not purchased with the halal (allowed) earnings (such as earnings from selling alcohol, from gambling, from selling drugs and from many other sources which are forbidden in Islam.) 8. O Prophet of Allah, my eighth enemy is that believer who keeps himself clean all the time. A person who stays in Wuzu and who wears clean clothes. 9. O Prophet of Allah, my ninth enemy is that person who has a big heart. Who spents his/her money for the sake of Allah. Comment by Maulana Sadiq Hasan: Once Prophet of Allah asked his companion did you know that one Dinar can be more than One Lakh (hundred thousand) Dinar? Prophet's companions replied no O Prophet of Allah. Then, (our beloved) Prophet of Allah said, "If a person who owns for instance ten lakhs and gives one lakh in charity is less than that poor man who owns two dinnar and gives one dinnar in charity." 10. O Prophet of Allah, my tenth enemy is that person who gives Sadqa (charity) only for the name of Allah. 11. o Prophet of Allah, my eleventh enemy is that person who reads, memorizes, and act according to Quran. 12. O Prophet of Allah, my twelfth enemy is that person who recites "Namaz-e-Shab" (prayers recited after the midnight and before namaz Fajr). I am always afraid of this person. 13. O Prophet of Allah, my thirteenth enemy is that person who offers his wajib (obligatory) Khums, wajib Zakat, and other wajib sadaqas. 14. O Prophet of Allah, my fourteenth enemy is that woman who observes Hijaab (Veil) and safeguards her Hijaab. 15. O Prophet of Allah, my fifteenth enemy is that who performs his "Ibadat" (such as prayers) without having thoughts except for the thoughts of Allah.
After hearing the list of fifteen enemies of Shaitan, our beloved Prophet of Allah (may the peace of Allah be upon him and his progeny) asked Shaitan to name his eleven friends. Upon which, the cursed Shaitan named the following eleven people:
THE FRIENDS OF SHAITAN (THE CURSED ONE)
1. The first friend of mine is that leader who is a oppressor (Zalim). 2. My second friend is that business man who does his/ her business by deceiving his / her customers. 3. My third friend is that "Mo'min" (believer) who drinks alcohol. 4. My fourth friend is that rich person who is proud of his wealth and who angrily refuses to give money in charity to poor and needy. 5. My fifth friend is that person who does backbiting (Geebat), who talks to people in such a way that enemity increases between people and who reveals the defects of people. 6. My sixth friend is that person who kill other human being for any reason other than for Allah. 7. My seventh friend is that person who snatches away the belongings (such as wealth) of an orphan. 8. My eighth friend is that person whose livelihood is based on collecting interest. 9. My ninth friend is that person who gives more important to his worldly life rather than giving important to his life after death. This friend of mine prefers to performs those deeds which he know, will bring benefits in this world but in hereafter such deeds will bring loss. 10. My tenth friend is that person who keep long hopes and delays in asking for forgiveness from Allah. (Here Maulana gave the example of that person who delays in asking forgiveness from Allah. For instance he said, "people refuse to ask forgiveness from Allah because they say we are young and angel of death is not running after us yet. Therefore these people, who delay in asking for repentance, say we are not going to quit listening to music, we are not going to observe Hijab, or we are not going to keep the beard. These people say that they will do all this after ten or more years. These are the tenth friends of Shaitan, because they keep long hopes and delay in asking for forgiveness from Allah.") 11. My eleventh friend is that person who helps women to increase their interest in performing "Jaadu" (magic) on people. |

| The Four Questions |
[Sep. 30th, 2008|07:55 am] |
Imam Ali (A.S.) was always available when the three khalifa sought his advice on religious matters. His position as the jurist was on the top of the list among the companions of the Holy Prophet (saw). Umar Ibne Khattab the 2nd Caliph had given clear instructions that when Ali was present in the mosque of the Prophet no one should take precedence over him in answering questions on religious matters. In one such encounter during the time of the 2nd Caliph, a group of Jewish scholars approached the caliph and said, 'We have a few questions. If we get the answers to these questions correctly, we will accept the Islamic faith.
'Ask whatever you want to ask,' said the caliph.
They asked the following questions: 1. What are the locks and keys of heaven? 2. Who was the messenger who was neither of the human nor of the Jinn and who warned his people? 3. Which are the 5 beings who were created without ! the aid of ovaries? 4. What are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve?
The caliph thought over these questions for a time, then said, 'I do not know the answers to these questions. I will take you to a man who is most knowledgeable in the commandments of Allah and the Holy Prophet and the greatest among us.
The caliph then brought the Jewish scholars to Ali (a.s.). They asked the same questions to him. Ali (a.s.) answered thus:
1. The locks of the heavens are beliefs in more than one god, and its keys are the letters of 'La Ilaha Illallah, Muhammad- Ur - Rasulallah. '
2. The messenger who warned his people is the ant who, when Solomon's army was passing by, said to his people, ' Enter your houses so that the army may not stamp you out (without intention)'. So Allah states in the Holy Qur'an, ' Until they came to the valley of the Ants, said an ant (addressing the other ants of the valley) O' you ants' enter into! your dwellings, so that Solomon and his hosts may not crush you while they know it not'. (Sura An-Naml. V 18)
3. The five beings who were not born of ovaries are: Adam, Eve, the staff of Moses which used to change into a python, the camel of Saleh, and the sheep of Ibrahim (which was sent by Allah to become a ransom of the life of Ibrahim's son Ismael).
4. One is Allah who has no partners, Two are Adam and Eve, Three are the substances ( i.e. non-living matter, plants and animals), Four are the Heavenly books: Torah of Moses, Bible of Jesus, Zubur of Dawood and the Qur'an of Hadhrat Muhammad (saw).
Five are the daily prayers. Six are the days of creation of the heavens and earth, as per the verse of the Qur'an: ' And indeed We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them two, in six periods and touched us not any fatigue.' (Sura Qaf V. 38).
Seven are the seven heavens, in the light of the Qur'anic Verse: ' And we have erected above you the seven strong ones.' (Sura An-Naba V12)
Eight are those angels who bear the heavens, as per the Qur'anic Verse: ' And the angels shall be on the side of it; and above them shall bear that day `Arsh' (the throne of authority). of your Lord, eight of them (Sura Al-Haaqqah. V.17)
Nine are the nine signs given to Moses as stated by God: 'And indeed we gave Moses nine clear signs (miracles); so ask the children of Israel when he came to them, Pharaoh said to him; 'Verily I deem you O' Moses one bewitched. '(Sura Bani Israel , V 101).
Ten are the ten days, i.e. God had promised Moses that he would stay on the mountain of Toor for thirty days, and later added ten more days to this duration, as it is stated in the Qur'an.' And we made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and completed it with ten more;' Thus was completed the term of his Lord, forty nights, and (before he went up) Moses said to his brother Aaron: You take my place among my people, act rightly and follow not the path of the mischief-makers. ' (Sura Al-A'araf. V.142).
Eleven are the brothers of Joseph, son of Jacob, as the Qur'an states, 'When said Joseph to his father, O' my father; Verily I did see (dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon,, I saw them all prostrating to me.' (Sura Yousuf. V.4).
Twelve are the Twelve water-springs manifested by the staff of Moses, as God states, ' And (remember) when Moses sought water for his people; said We, `Strike the rock with your staff' Then gushed out therefrom twelve springs; each people knew their drinking place; 'Eat and drink God's provision, and commit not evil in the earth acting mischievously. '(Sura Al Baqarah V60).
When the Jewish scholars heard the replies of Hadhrat Ali (a.s.) they said, 'We bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger and Ali (a.s.) is the 'Wasi' and successor of the Messenger of Allah as Aaron was the Wasi of Moses. They all embraced Islam, went back to their tribe and converted all of them to Islam.
