Following Satanic Footsteps and Ignoring Allah’s Blessings!

The sole purpose of Muslim’s creation is to follow the orders of Allah Almighty and neglecting the traps and tribulations of Satan. 


 Following the commandments of Allah is the mere path of absolution and redemption as the day of Resurrection, which is the eternal place for Muslims while the ignorant and arrogant ones will taste Hellfire as the wrath of God. Allah, then will say to the ignorant souls on the Day of Reckoning that:
“Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.” [36:60]
Muslims having strong faith will never fall for the whispers of Satan, who has challenged Lord while expelling from heaven that he will persuade them towards isolation and will sink them deep into transgression. Quran that is a complete package of guidance revealed a chapter in which Lord has warned His followers not to follow Satan rather to glorify Him for His blessed bounties and favors. Probing Surah Rahman with translation reveals the clear meanings of creation and exaltation of Lord by thanking Him for His divine creations and blessings.

Following Satan– Utmost Destruction:

When Allah created Adam and asked the angels to prostrate in front of Him, Satan due to arrogance denied Lord’s order and due to his disobedience, he was expelled from heaven. Since then Satan has become the symbol of destruction for the Lord’s worshipers and Allah asked His followers to follow His doctrines for solace and eternal peace.
Weak humans succumb easily to the tricks of Satan and start cursing nature for their ordeals rather pleading mercy and forgiveness for their hardships. Allah has blessed humans with so many favors that are innumerable yet man is selfish enough to revert and curse for his luck by deviating from the path of righteousness. In aforementioned Surah, Allah has asked the followers that “which of the favors of thy lord will you deny” pertaining to the favors since creation till heavenly bounties. Allah has clearly warned the humans from satanic lullabies by saying:
“[Allah] said (to Satan), "Get out of Paradise, reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them - I will surely fill Hell with you, all together.” [7:18]

Satanic Tricks and Tactics:

Satan is on an evident mission to detract Muslims from their eternal obligation. The tricks and tactics of Satan are attractive enough that trapped one in its charm to make him a person of world rather eternity. Tricks comprise:
  • Instilling love of this temporary world in his mind and sinking him deep into lavishness.
  • Forcing him to forget the Day of death that everyone will taste eventually and will face Allah for accountability of deeds
  • Cultivate pride, arrogance, love for lucrative desires, forgetting the rights of kith and kin and keep hatred for fellow beings by considering oneself mighty enough than others.
  • Boasting and showing off deeds by considering other degraded ones.
  • Denying the decree of Lord by following satanic footsteps rather to open the Quran and refer back to his original purpose of creation.
  • Relying on temporarily support rather to invoke Lord for one’s calamities and ordeals
  • Cursing fate for one’s hardships, belittling sins, and then expecting from Allah that magic will happen to keep him at ease and contented by heart
  • Avoid helping the deserving and needy ones by ignoring their needs.
A true devoted Muslim should avoid all these aforementioned tricks to attain the level of mercy from the Lord at Doomsday. Avoid and be deaf to these whispers that leads to invoking wrath of Allah Almighty.

Things to Avoid in Ramadan 2015

Ramadan is the month of the Quran in which Allah has Revealed Quran from Loh-e-Mehfooz for guidance in order to seek His mercy and forgiveness. Apart from restraining hunger and thirst it is a ritual for Muslims to refrain from bad habits. Ramadan is a period of moral training in which Muslims can achieve the highest level of soul purification and tolerance. When Ramadan arrives the gates to the paradise are opened and Satan are chained hence Muslims quit all their bad behaviors to honor the essence and teachings of Ramadan.

Month of self-reformation:

Ramadan is the month of self-reformation because the total stature of a Muslim change with the ritual of fasting. Muslims fasts in order to avoid fighting, donate, charity, recite Quran Kareem, offer Tarawih and do maximum Zikar. There are following things that Muslims should avoid in this Holy month of Ramadan.

Do not show haste in Ibadah

Like all other normal day do not haste or show irregularities in the act of worship. Recite Quran and offer prayers in time.

  • Recite Quran after Fajar prayers whoever find time. Ramadan is the month of Quran hence it is better to complete the recitation of this holy Book in Ramadan. Contemplate Quran with its meanings while those who find it difficult to concentrate on the teachings of this Holy book they should learn Arabic alphabet pronunciation prior reading Quran. In a Hadith the importance of reciting Quran has explained as:
    Ibn 'Abbas narrates "that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was the most generous person, and he would be at his most generous in Ramadan because Jibril would come to him every night and he would rehearse the Qur'an with him." [Sahih Al-Albani]
  • Offer Tarawih in congregational prayers because it is a source of reviving communal relation as well provides an opportunity to finish Quran in 30days.
    "He who observes optional prayer (Tarawih prayers) throughout Ramadan, out of sincerity of Faith and in the hope of earning reward will have his past sins pardoned." [Muslim]
  • Offer Tahajud. The type of Salah, which is offered before Fajar prayer because it is the perfect time to beseech Allah’s mercy as He descends down to earth from Heaven on that specific time.
  • Do Tasbih for extra virtues in Ramadan in order to gain maximum bounties as stated in the Hadith
    “A Tasbihah in Ramadan is better than a thousand Tasbihah in other that it.” [Tirmidhi]

Eating too much and avoiding Salah

In Ramadan Most of the Muslims stuff themselves too much at Iftar/Suhoor that they find it difficult to offer Salah and Tarawih. The trick to gain much out of this blessed month is to eat less and spare much of the energy for doing Azkaar an Nawafil.

Stay away from Evil

Abide from all Makrooh and unlawful things in this month of Ramadan.

  • Controlling anger because anger is the tool of Satan and it destroys all deeds like fire engulfing woods.
  • Do good have good. Donate charity as it is the source of attaining Taqwa besides helping the deserving and poor ones.
  • Hold tongue from uttering any abusive and negative remarks.
  • Be anti social in this month of Ramadan and concentrate on Quran and Salah.
  • Avoid backbiting and all wrong doings as in Quran Allah says
    “O  you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead?” [4:12]
Avoiding above bad habits and following the rest is the actual teachings of Islam in this month of Ramadan. By refraining from the above habits will refine the spirits morally and will revamp Imaan, only then can a Muslim will enjoy the auspicious occasion of Eid after fervently upholding moral character in the month of Ramadan.

Du’as in Ramadan

Offering du’as are a great deed for a Muslim, they are done to express ones intentions, needs, desires or wishes to Allah Almighty. These supplications (or du’as) earn a Muslim the sawab (rewards from Allah) for remembering Him and most importantly, for seeking only His help in such a time of need. For acquiring the du’as, you can consult books or scholars and have them compiled with you in a book. You can also download apps for this purpose such as the ‘ramadan duas 2015’ which helps by providing you ramadan daily duas. In the following paragraphs, we shall discuss the significance or importance of duas, especially in Ramadan:


Importance of du’as
As mentioned before, du’as are the supplications to Allah. As for the importance, they are much more important than we may think. It is a fact and as Muslims we are supposed to believe that Allah hears each and every supplication of ours. There are many experiences which support this fact, in addition to that, there are incidents in the Quran which clearly show us how men in great distress and times of need sought Allah’s help and received it in a generous amount. For instance, we can see in the following verse from Surah Kahf:
“[Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance. So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years.”  (The Quran 18:10-11) “It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance. And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.”  (The Quran 18:13-14)

Here, we see an event where some folks sought the help of Allah in a time of great peril and need. They received it and it was a great sleep that was cast over them for a great number of years. Indeed, when they realized it they thanked Allah and acknowledged His greatness.

Importance in Ramadan

As for the importance in Ramadan, we must understand that there is great sawab for every good Islamic action that we do. This is apparent in the following hadith:
“Whoever draws near to Allah during it (Ramadan) with a single characteristic from the characteristics of (voluntary) goodness, he is like whoever performs an obligatory act in other times. And whoever performs an obligatory act during it, he is like whoever performed seventy obligatory acts in other times.”  (Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah)
When Ramadan starts, this hadith should be in your minds so that you remember Allah more. Allah is great and His blessings increase greatly in the month of Ramadan. Thus, we ought o be thankful to Him and keep praying to Him so that we earn the great blessings and earn our place in jannah (heaven).

Quranic Revelations


Meaning of the word revelation is ‘a usually secret or surprising fact that is made known’. In Islam, this is the process of a Prophet receiving the word of Allah. It is an intense process that a prophet has to go through when he exchanges words with the Allah’s messenger (the angel for this purpose; Hazrat Jibreel A.S.). Not everyone is capable of receiving such a word and bear such a responsibility. The act of receiving revelations was thus limited to the Prophets.



The First revelation to Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.):

Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) was in the habit of retiring to the ‘Hira’ cave located on the Mountain ‘Jabal an-Nur’ to escape the ignorance and insanity of the world and acquire inner peace. It so happened one day during his ‘alone time’ in the cave that an angel approached him and said to him the first word that would initiate the process of Quranic revelations: ‘Iqra’. The angel that day revealed a total of five verses to him (from Surah Alaq) and it would come to him occasionally for further Quranic revelations. The process of receiving the complete Quran took about twenty three years and this book was then divided into thirty sections, each section containing a few surahs. Total number of surahs in the Quran is 114.

Different revelation methods:

Allah intended that His message be delivered to the Prophet only. Therefore, several methods of revelations were used for revealing verses of the Holy Quran. They are described in the Quran as:
“And it is not for any human being that Allah should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a partition or that He sends a messenger to reveal, by His permission, what He wills. Indeed, He is Most High and Wise.”  (Holy Quran 42:51)
This ayah from Surat Ash-Shuraa tells us of the different ways Allah’s message was revealed to His prophets. Which include from revelation, behind a partition, sending a messenger to reveal His messages. We cannot argue on how exactly the Prophets received revelations but there are several Hadith regarding revelations that tell us about the situation.

Hadith regarding the ways of receiving revelations:

Hazrat Aisha (R.A.), the wife of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) and the woman who has narrated the greatest number of Hadith tells us that once Al Harith bin Hisham asked the Prophet, "How does the divine inspiration come to you?" He replied, "In all these ways: The Angel sometimes comes to me with a voice which resembles the sound of a ringing bell, and when this state abandons me, I remember what the Angel has said, and this type of Divine Inspiration is the hardest on me; and sometimes the Angel comes to me in the shape of a man and talks to me, and I understand and remember what he says." [Sahih al-Bukhari: 3215]

A responsibility not meant for everybody:

As mentioned in this Hadith “this type of Divine Inspiration is the hardest on me”, it is not for any common man to receive revelations. Even the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.), the person supposed to receive them, experienced great physical stress in the process.
Hazrat Aisha (R.A.) narrates of another incident:
"I saw it coming down on him on an intensely cold day, and when it had left him his forehead was dripping with sweat."  (Muwatta Malik)
Hence, even in cold weather, he (S.A.W.) was forced to perspire. The psychological pressure alone is too much for a person to bear and Muhammad (S.A.W.) was a human being just like us.

Conclusion:

Aboo Umaamah relates that the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam)said: “Read the Qur’an, for verily it will come on the Day of Standing as anintercessor for its companions.”
We are His creations, we often fail to see His signs around us and go astray from the right path. He has guided us time and time again through different methods. He has sent His messages and books of guidance via Prophets who received revelations which contained the message of Allah. The prophets bore this burden and conveyed to us His message. It is now our duty to follow the teachings of Allah and prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) and earn sawab (reward).

See the Beauty of the World in the light of Islam

Islam is the oldest religion in this universe from whose teachings whole world is shining today and will shine till the end of this universe.  People in past tries their best to destroy the name of Islam but they in vain because it is the only true religion. To convey the message of Islam around each corner of this world ALLAH sent 124000 Prophets in this world to guide human kinds that success is only in following Islamic teachings and who will follow wrong path soon he will be punished. Also to explain each Islamic rule ALLAH revealed Holy Quran on Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) the last Prophet at the cave of hira.

World is beautiful? Yes

How you see its beauty? On your own or from two eyes the precious gift of ALLAH to Humans.
The aim of this article is that you will see the beauty of this world till you have these precious gifts so take care of them and use according to the will of GOD and our approach towards this matter.



This World is Beautiful:

Everything ALLAH created in this universe is most beautiful and unique. He created this universe in this universe he created stars, sun, moon etc each thing in this universe is under the control of ALLAH. In our world ALLAH created mountains, oceans, beautiful valleys which we see from our two eyes. As whole Human is amazing creature of ALLAH but imagine if we don’t have these two eyes all these beauties of the world gone dark.
ALLAH says this world and also after this world matters are beautiful for all those who have strong faith on ALLAH and follow Islamic teachings in True spirit.
Now there are some persons which don’t have two eyes but they follow Islamic Teachings How world is beautiful for them?
Beautifulness of this world doesn’t mean that you able to see beautiful sceneries.
It is from heart if your heart is happy and in comfort zone whole world is beautiful. Islamic teachings give comfort to your heart which is lacking in this world. On other hand people who have two eyes able to see beautiful sceneries of this world are not happy with this world. They say whole world is deceiving them their heart is not in comfort zone because they don’t follow rules of ALLAH. ALLAH says see only those things from your eyes which you are allowed to see, recite Quran offer 5 time prayers.

Our Approach in this today’s world:

Are we following Islamic rule in its true spirit?
No because western culture is taken control of our hearts. ALLAH say see only those things from your eyes which are allowed to you to see. But we are doing opposite our boys day will not spent till they see two or three girls. When asked from them why you see them they it give comfort to their heart. On the other hand girls dressed themselves in a way they look beautiful very good but only for their husband. But they are doing opposite they dress beautifully so the whole office see their charming personality some girls do this for their so called boyfriends.
That’s why heard daily about the incident of rape, suicide, acid throwing on girl.
We blame criminal but somewhere we are also responsible for these types of incidents. ALLAH says to girl cover your bodies your face and head except two eyes but our girls are doing opposite because some says it is two day life enjoy it.With that ALLAH says recite Quran, offer 5 time prayer but we are always ready to run away from these Islamic rituals.
Brother and Sisters develop habit of Quran recitation daily. Be careful always Recite and Learn Quran withTajweed rules through Tajwid Al Quran Android app. Also offer 5 time prayers and follow each rule of Islam in its true Spirit. It is because only your these actions will give your heart peace and make this world beautiful for you. And if you follow the way who says life is two days game only enjoy it strict punishment is waiting for them because going opposite to ALLAH will is just like launching a war with ALLAH.

Conclusion:

Make correct use of these two eyes the precious gift of ALLAH to gain success in this life and after this life. Because if you opposite your two minute enjoyment will have the power to lead you to hell.

Significance of Islam in Today’s world



With time advancement technology brings a revolutionary change in every field of world.  Rewards of these advancements are claimed by west. It is because every eye is looking towards west whether you ask any Muslim nobody sees their violation of human rights. It is the weakness of our faith on Islam.  It is because we don’t think and focus on Islamic teachings. This Article focuses on importance of Islamic teachings in this advanced world.


Islam in Today’s world:
 
Islam is a complete religion based on teachings which are true and full of benefits. Follower of Islam is called as Muslim. To spread the teachings of Islam in the entire world ALLAH sent 124000 Prophets in this world to guide mankind about the rewards of right ones and to warn from the consequences of wrong path.
Coming towards the point Technology bring every time taking procedure at your door step. But technologies of west are failing in protecting the rights of humans and in stopping new born diseases. 

Wait do you see that all these technologies are invented by west? Why their technology is not stopping the spread of Islam in their communities if they are that genius.   

No it’s not reality. They gone fast and developed themselves because they focused on Islamic teachings, and teachings of Holy Prophet (PBUH).  Compare them with us why we are lost why we are only seeing beauty in west it is because we only get remembrance of Quran recitation even in month of Ramadan or that also without Tajweed. It is important to change our behaviors and take a step from today to start learning Quran from today how? Here Islamic Technology developers are come Islamic scientists in android Development are second to none developing many Islamic apps that are helping Muslims all around the globe like Tajweed Al Quran rules Android app from which Muslims even new Muslims are getting much benefit to learn basics of Quran with Tajweed andimproving their recitation of Complete Quran with Tajweed. Try to focus on Islamic teachings because every Islamic teaching is much beneficial.
