MUST READ
All Praise be to Allah, we praise Him, seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls and evils of our deeds. One whom Allah guides, none can lead him astray, and one whom He misguides, none can guide him.
I testify that there is none who has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone and He has no partners (with Him). And I testify that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger, the one sent by Allah as a mercy for the Alamin (mankind and jinn); the one commanded by Allah to fight against the Mushrikun (and all those who ascribe partner with Allah). He fought for Allah�s Cause with all his power and ability ---may Allah�s Peace and Blessings be upon him, upon his follower and upon his Companions who believed in him, and honored him, help and followed the light (The Qur�an) and his As-Sunnah (the legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements) which was revealed to him �those who emigrated and fought in the Cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives, they were the supreme conquerors and the masters.
After This,
Mankind and the universe were not created by accident or chance, but according to the plan of the Creator, who is known as Allah (the one God). It is the duty of all individuals to learn about Allah and to live according to His will. Allah has sent messengers and prophets to guide humanity. We have been told that Allah is unique, He has no partners, no sons or daughters, and no competitors, as so many other man-made religious systems have postulated.
Islam is not a new religion-it is a restatement of the original religion of Allah in its purest form and is designed to provide humanity with the uncorrupted message of Allah. Islam presents humanity with only true knowledge, Islam is always completely accurate.
The Islamic way of life is based on the teachings and laws found in the Qur'an and the example (Sunnah) of the Prophet Muhammad.
All of the messengers and prophets of Allah, has received revelation from Allah in the language of his own people, among them Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, John, Jesus, their mission was limited to their nation. Muhammad, the last prophet, was sent with a universal message meant for all of humanity. The message revealed through him is the Qur'an, which is Allah's final presentation of the original revelation received by mankind in its purest form.
The revelations mentioned in the Qur'an as having been received by other prophets, such as the Suhuf of Abraham, the Torah of Moses, the Zubur (Psalms) of David, and the Injeel (Bible) of Jesus, have all been either lost or corrupted. They had been mixed with philosophical speculations, superstitions, myths, and neglect. Therefore, Allah has sent this Qur�an and promised us that it will not be changeable or corrupt able, He will guard it Himself. No one has ever been able to imitate the Qur'an, although many have tried over the centuries.
Jesus did not preach the religion of Christianity, but a religion that gives all Praise and Worship to The One God. For there is no single, unequivocal statement in the Bible where by Jesus himself declares, "I am God, there fore worship me."
I did not find the word Christianity in the Bible, not even in a Bible dictionary. Specifically, I did not find in the Bible where Jesus called himself a Christian.
The word "Son" must not be accepted literally because God addresses many of his chosen servants as son and sons. Many references were found in the Old and New Testaments that mentioned someone other than Jesus as having a divine Sonship to God.
Further, the term "Father" as used by Jesus corresponds more closely to the term Rabb( One who nourishes and sustains), so that in Jesus's doctrine, God is "Father" Nourisher and Sustainer of all men. Jesus also said that God is not only his Father but also your Father.
Jesus was not crucified. It was the intention of his enemies to put him to death on the cross, but Allah saved him from their plot. Did any one of the disciples or the writers of the Gospel see the Crucifixion or the Resurrection? No!
Jesus prayed "Eli, Eli, why hast thou forsaken me"? and Jesus's prayer not to die on the cross was accepted by God.
There are MANY Bibles in the market that are used by different Christian sects and all of these sects say that their book, though different, is the word of God. I have not found in any of these Bibles where the "New Testament" calls itself the "New Testament," and nowhere does the "Old Testament" call it self the "Old Testament." Also, the word "Bible" is unknown within the pages of the Bible.
Christians, boast about the Gospels according to Matthew, according to Mark, according to Luke and according to John. However, if we think about it, there is not a single Gospel according to Jesus himself. There is no place mentioned in the present four Gospels that Jesus wrote a single word of his Gospel, nor is it mentioned that Jesus instructed any one to do so.
what Gospel did Jesus preach? Of the 27 books of the New Testament, the remaining 23 were supposedly written by Paul. The earliest Gospel is that of Mark's which was written about 60-75 AD. Luke's Gospel was written much later. Luke was like Paul, never met Jesus. John's Gospel is from a different source, and was written in about 100 AD. He (John) should not be confused with John, the disciple, who was beheaded by AgrippaI in the year 44CE long before this gospel was written.
By the way, did you know that the names Marks and Luke were not included in the 12 appointed disciples of Jesus. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these, 1- Simon, who is called Peter 2- Andrew 3- James the son of Zebedee 4- John 5- Philip 6- Bartholomew 7- Thomas 8- Matthew the publican 9- James the son of Alphaeus 10- Lebbaeus whose surname was Thaddaeus 11- Simon the Canaanite 12- Judas Iscariot.
It is well known throughout the religious world, that the choice of the present four "gospels" of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) were imposed in the Council of Nicea 325CE for political purposes under the auspices of the pagan Emperor Constantine, and not by Jesus.
Constantine ratified other decisions in the Nicene Creed such as the decision to call Christ "the Son of God, only begotten of the father."
Literally, hundreds of gospels and religious writings were hidden from the people. Some of those writings were written by Jesus's disciples, and many of them were eyewitness accounts of Jesus's actions. Some of them are still available such as the Gospel of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas which agree with the Quran.
Muslims must believe in all Divine scriptures in their original form, their Prophets and making no distinction between them. The Suhuf (Abraham), Torah (Moses), Psalms (David), Gospel - or the Injeel (Jesus) and the Quran (Muhammad). However, none of these scriptures remains in its original form now, except the Quran, which was sent for all mankind everywhere and for all times.
Some of the biggest misconceptions that many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews. This is totally false, since "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for- "God" - and there is only One God. Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus - peace be upon them all. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word "Allah" being used where "God" is used in English.
It is interesting to note that the Aramaic word "Eli", which is the word for God in the language that Jesus spoke, is certainly more similar in sound to the word "Allah" than the English word "God". This also holds true for the various Hebrew words for God, which are "Eli" and "Elah", and the plural form "Elohim".
But Jews, Christians and Muslims all have different concepts of Almighty God. Muslims belief in Allah's acts which are specific to Him Alone like creation, provision, legislation and others and not to ascribe any of these acts to other than Allah. They believe in all the names and attributes that Allah has affirmed for Himself without disablement, distortion, likening and without looking at the manner or the way of His Attributes. They believe that Allah is the only one to be worshipped and that all acts of worship like bowing, prostrating, invoking, vowing and others should be directed to none but to Allah Alone.
Verily in the creation of the heavens and the earth, in the alternation of night and day, in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of the people, in the water which Allah sends down from the skies reviving with it the dead earth and dispersing over it all kinds of beasts, in the change of the winds, and in the clouds that run their appointed courses between heaven and earth, In all of this, indeed there are signs for people of understanding.
He has power over all things. He Who Created death and life that He may test which of you is best in deed. He is the Almighty, the Oft-forgiving.
On the earth are signs visible to all who have faith with certainty, just as there are signs within your own selves. Will you then not see?
How much have we paid for what Allah had blessed us with?
If you loose your sight, how much can you pay?
If you loose your mind, how much can you pay?
If you loose your heart, how much can you pay?
How much about the nervous system and different parts of the body?
We use our eyes to disobey Allah! He preserves our eyes and we disobey Him with them.
Allah preserves our ears and yet we disobey Him with them? Allah keeps our minds and we use them to disobey him. His good to us is descending upon us and our evil is going towards Him. He blesses us and provides for us and we give thanks to others. Is this not way wardness? Is this not a display of poor manners towards Allah?
Can anyone take away from the Majesty of Allah? No-one can decrease from the Majesty of Allah. He is Great and Supreme. Allah does not need our worship, He does not need our love, Allah is the Owner of all majesty and supremacy and He is independent and above all needs.
We NEED the worship of Allah. We need to perform good deeds to the creation. We are poor and Allah is rich. We are weak and Allah is strong. We are the degraded, the low, and Allah is the High. We relate to Allah as we relate to this world. So we NEED the love of Allah.
It is must that we should invite people to love Allah for the favors that He has given to us. Verily, Allah is our Creator, Sustainer and Cherisher. Everything comes from Him. He Alone deserves our love.
THE CALL TO TESTIFY THAT NONE IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP BUT ALLAH
Allah (swt ) says:
" Say (O Muhammad) : "This is my way; I invite unto Allah with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me. And Glorified and Exalted is Allah. And I am not of the Mushrikin." (Qur'an 12:108)
Allah (swt ) commands His Prophet (saas ) in this verse to teach the people and make clear to them his Religion and his Sunnah and his way of life and that of those who follow the call to Allah's Religion, and practice Tawheed, and that by so doing, he and those who obey him and believe in him are following Divine Guidance and acting upon knowledge and clear evidence; and they exalt their Lord and glorify Him above any association of partners, in His Lordship, in worship and in His Divine Names and Attributes; and he (swt ) is innocent of the polytheists and their Shirk.
In the begging, in Makkah, The Prophet used to visit the people in their gatherings during the Hajj and Umrah season and other occasions (too). He used to go to their market place, recite The Quran invite them to Allah the Most Respectful. He used to say, �Who will give me a safe shelter, and who will support me till I Convoy the Message of my Lord (Allah) in return for having Paradise.� But he would not find anyone to support him or to give a safe shelter. The Prophet Muhammad carried his mission of inviting people to Allah and persevered in his mission of inviting for 13 years in Makkah, in spite of the harm and injuries (which he suffered), and he used to forgive the ignorant.
And when Allah wanted to reveal His Islam and fulfill His Promise and to make His Prophet victorious, Allah the Most high ordered him to emigrate to Al-Madinah. So he stayed there and Allah supported him with His Victory and with His slaves, the faithful believers � the Islamic army unit composed of different sorts of people (black, white, and red). They strove hard for him with all their efforts, and preferred his love to the love of (their) fathers, offspring and wives.
The (pagan) Arabs and Jews had formed a united front against them (Muhammad and his followers) and had put up all their effort of enmity, standing and fighting against them�And (infect) they shouted against them from every corner.
For that, the Messenger and those who believed in him were tried with fair trials (martyrdom or mighty reward) to make victorious Islam and to invite other to Islam. So Allah assisted them with victory and sent down upon them tranquility and helped them with angels and united their hearts and cast terror into the heart of their enemies.
So they fought in the Cause of Allah (for) Islamic Faith (worshipping none but Allah Alone) and sincerely (for Allah�s sake) and make victorious Allah�s �Deen� till it become superior over all religions, and mankind is brought out�(1) from darkness into the light, (2) from the worshipping of men to the worshipping of Allah Alone (the only true God), (3) from the narrowness of the world to its wideness (ease)and (4) from the injustices of the religions to the justice Islam.
And when the term (time limit) was prolonged for the Muslims and their hearts were hardened and they forget their �Deen� and became ignorant of the fact (that for what purpose) Allah has sent and chosen them from among the great number of mankind and from the great number of nations of the earth.
So today they are leading a life of the one who knows not any prophet, nor believes in any divine Message or divine Inspiration, nor expects any reckoning nor is afraid of the Hereafter. They resemble the pre-Islamic ignorant nations, against whom they used to fight in the past. They have turned on their heels (back) as apostates from Islam, they have imitated them (ignorant nations) in their civilization, in their social affairs, in their political affairs, in their character and in the pleasures of their lives. They also imitated them in many other things because of which Allah hated and forsook them. Allah put them into trials under the effects of (1) Western civilization (2) and the Eastern Communist propaganda. So their land become �a free wealth� with no protector, their kingdom become a victim for every beast of prey and a food (nourishment) for every eater, because they love this worldly life and hate death.
And now they have deserted The Al-Jihad and asked help from (their) enemies and protection from the disbelievers, begging them; turning toward them, expecting good from them. So they have become mean, despised before Allah in spite of their Islamic names and in spite of the presence of righteous pious persons amongst them and in spite of the fact that some of the religious laws, signs and ceremonies are practiced in their countries. They have become contented with the life in which they eat, drink, sleep, and compete not with others in superiority.
All this is a visible fact, which every true believer feels, and which every community (nation) that gives up Al-Jihad and is engrossed: (1) in a luxurious life, (2) in the worshipping of wealth and (3) in the love of this world.
It is absolutely obligatory upon the Islamic nation, and particularly upon the religious scholars and the rulers from them to be obedient to Allah, fear Him and to be dutiful to Him and to settle the matter of differences amongst themselves and to propagate �The invitation to this Islam to others, publish its good aspects, and instruct (teach) the people its (Islam�s) laws and Hikmah (The Quran and Sunnah) as did the Muslim nobles of early days.� They (Muslim nobles of early days) strove hard in Allah�s cause as they ought to have striven with sincerity and with all their efforts that His (Allah�s) Name should be superior �They stood �inviting people to Allah�s �Deen�, explained to them the good aspects and the excellence of Islam�and that was the reason their kingdom was extended and their countries expanded, and they subjected others to Islam�s teachings. But before long their descendants deviated from the Right Path, tore themselves into pieces after they were one united entity, they doubted the Truth, so, for them the path was separated and they become as groups(and sects) having different (views and) opinions opposing each other in their aims�So how can they be elevated ?...How can there be any progress or priority possible for them while they are following the disbelieving nations, they drag along behind them, pursue their ways and footsteps and imitate their actions, small or great.
They judge their people with the contradictory (man-made) laws which conflict and clash with the Islamic laws, which were the origin of their honor and pride and in which was their peace and steadfastness.
This life is a test, a test for each individual, for everyone must choose whether he will or will not follow the commands of Allah. On the judgment day, a person will be resurrected and asked to account for what he did while he was alive on earth. Those with good records will be rewarded and enter paradise, while those with bad records will be punished by being sent to hell, forever.
We beseech Allah to make victorious His Islam and to make superior His Word and to lead the Muslims to that in which His Pleasure is�Amin.
