The True Religion with The Lord of The Worlds

 

 

 

This is but a sneak preview and a quick summary of the book I’m busy writing.

 

 

 

 

 

ENJOY THE READ

The world is split into two camps, those guided on the right path and those guided on the wrong path.
May the Almighty guide us all on the straight path…

For us all the truth about religion is important. After you’ve read through this booklet it is guaranteed that you will never be the same person again and this is a true fact. If you are truly looking for guidance you will read the booklet to its last word.
Finally the truth: The Hard Facts
The true religion is in fact the religion which will overpower all wrong beliefs, it will make sense, and it will offer the best of offers to us the creation of The Almighty.
The true religion is so vast and far greater then that known to our minds.
The true religion is a VAST GREAT KINGDOM…

 

This is not meant to condemn or judge anyone, any belief, religion or people; it’s also not to condemn Holy Scriptures “The Holy Books” Torah, Bible and Quran. This is only meant to share these great hidden truths and to give you the reader the opportunity to see and then judge for yourself however the main point is to have you the reader to go and have a view of the Holy Books yourself after you have read through this book. This book represents my own belief in what I learned while in deep prayers and searching through the Holy Scriptures. I am very grateful for the resulting colossal enlightenment this book provides and in which I truly believe. I have written this book for the purpose of spreading the truth and in hope for the guidance and acceptance of all of mankind; however guidance does not come from just reading a book or by word of mouth; this is but a message of the truth… Guidance comes from the Almighty alone, He shall guide whom He wills therefore we pray and ask for guidance. If in doubt of this read then approach your most trusted religious leader in your nearest area and have him read it because he would be a learned scholar of the Holy Scriptures.

 

The Scholars of religion find it most easy to accept the truths mentioned in this booklet, it is impossible to deny the truths mentioned herein. I’ve spent much time in discussion with religious leaders around the world there were always questions and answers being asked up and down.

One very staunch religious leader asked me how and why is it that I know the Scripture so well? I answered I believe in it with my whole heart, I prayed for years and asked The Almighty for guidance and understanding and after some years I was blessed with understanding.

I encourage all not just to learn to know but learn to understand do this with prayer.

Which is The True Religion?
It’s easy to answer this question in one go but let’s first put ourselves to the ultimate test…
Before we enter the beliefs and commonalities of these religions I can only say it would be just to first lay down the common grounds.
The common grounds which no one can deny…
These common grounds are Belief and The Almighty and to answer the question raised one has to look at these points so let us be just and be the people we say we are…

True Believers:
We all call ourselves believers in whichever belief system we follow, it does not matter what, who and in which we believe but we have set grounds to be and call ourselves a true believer…
So let us have a look at it because for one to claim that you are a true believer you first have to know what belief is and you have to have that TRUE Faith.
(a) Faith is: complete trust, belief, conviction, certainty, reliance, assurance, confidence, devotion, loyalty, hope, expectation, dependence, sincerity, passion, declaration, guarantee, an oath, a promise, a reassurance, commitment, affection, dependability, reliability, honesty and an obsession etc… and I’m sure any sane person can understand this further as the list goes on and on …
(b) To have that true faith one has to accept all of this because it’s an agreement with you and The Almighty as well…

The Almighty:
Every one who is a true believer in the Almighty will agree and accept that the Lord our Creator is The Soul Owner of All High Attributes/ Names or Titles, None of His creation can call unto himself any of our Lords Attributes nor take to him a name to any of Them, to our Lord alone belongs All High Titles.
For e.g. I can Not call myself the Almighty nor can you or any of the creation, I can Not call myself the Creator nor can anyone but He who created everything… I am sure everyone will agree to this.

Listed below are just some of the known Attributes of the Almighty:
He is: – The Incomparably Great, The Most Holy, The King, The One, The Most Compassionate, The Beneficent, The Gracious, The Merciful, The All-Peaceful, The Bestower of peace, The Granter of security, The Protector, The Mighty, The Compeller, Supreme in Greatness, The Majestic, The Creator, The Maker, The Bestower of form, The Shaper, The Forgiver, The Subduer, The Provider, The Opener, The Judge, The All-Knowing, The Withholder, The Expander, The Abaser, The Exalter, The Bestower of honour , The Humiliator, The All-Hearing, The All-Seeing, The Just, The Equitable, The Guide, The Patient One, etc… etc…

Note: You do NOT believe in our Creator The Almighty if you do not believe and accept that He The Almighty is The Soul Owner of All High Attributes/ Names or Titles.
To our Lord alone belongs All High Titles.

Clearly anyone claiming to be a true believer in the Almighty will agree and accept all the above. From hereon we can now answer that big question…
“Which is the true religion?” 

  

I will not answer it because you already have the answer with you and it is your faith in the Almighty, if you are a true believer you will know that He our Lord The Almighty is The Most High and that He is Incomparably Great.
If you are confused I will now make it clearer as to where I’m going with this…
We all have firm faith in the Almighty and we know He is Incomparably Great and for this reason it will be easy to distinguish between the guided and misguided.

The Answer:
1) The Almighty is The Most High and He is Incomparably Great, if you believe anything other then this then whatever you believe in is nothing and you will find yourself on the wrong path.
2) The answer is The Almighty can not be compared to anything; He can not be compared to His creation for e.g. the stars, a tree, fire, water, the wind, a statue, a rock, a bird, an elephant, “us humans: male, female, being a father, having a son, being born or even dying… This is a fact no one can deny.

The Almighty can not be compared to any of His creation at all. 

 

 

 

3) No Priest or Pope or Rabbi or Imam can deny this fact as it is THE TRUTH, it’s the main points of belief, and it’s what splits the guided from the misguided. Any sane and even insane person can understand this and will find it very easy to accept.

We will now have a look into the beliefs and or commonalities of these religions and will come to the truth by placing the weight of the found truths on a scale; we can use our hearts and belief to weigh this out for us…
Commonality:
The only commonality between these religions is the Prophets of The Almighty.

Many Prophets have been sent since the creation of man thousands came and not all are mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, the Prophets came to many Nation each appointed for a certian period of time to carry the messages to their people.
Below I’ll list the Prophets known to us.
Prophet / Nabi Adam,Idris, Nuh, Hud, Saleh, Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma’il, Ishaq (Isaac), Lut, Ya’qub (Jacob), Yusuf (Joseph), Shu’aib, Ayyub, Musa (Moses), Harun (Aaron), Dhulkifl, Dawud (David), Sulaiman (Solomon), Ilyas, Al-Yasa’, Yunus (Jonah), Zakariyya, Yahya (John), ‘Isa (Jesus the Masaya), Mohammad Ahmad Moustapha Peace and The Almighty’s greatest of blessings upon them all
Beliefs:There’s no similarity or commonality in beliefs of these religions, the only thing is they all claim to be monotheistic religions so let’s look at the beliefs to openly show who the misguided ones are…

 

 

 

 

 

Judaism: Jews believe there is one Creator who created and rules the world. This Creator is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and omnipresent (in all places at all times). He is also just and merciful. However (A large percent of Jews believe(d) The Almighty has a son…) Origin of religion: Judaism was named after the tribes of Judas.

Christianity: Christians believe there is one Creator who created and rules the world. This Creator is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and omnipresent (in all places at all times). He is also just and merciful. However (A large percent of Christians believe Jesus is The Almighty and they also say he is the son of the Almighty and they also believe he died for their sins…) Origin of religion: Christianity was named after the crucifixion of the Christ.

Islaam: Muslims believe that there’s only One Worthy of Worship The Almighty Allah Most High, Most Merciful and that Nabi Mohammed (pbuh) is the final messenger of Allah.
Muslims believe in His Angels, His Messengers, His Holy Books (Revelations) and in The Day of Judgement (The Hear After) Origin of religion: Islaam was named by the Almighty Allah Himself and comes from the time creation came into existence. All prophets from Adam to Mohammed (PBUT) came with the same message they called to Islaam which means:
“Total Submission to the will of The Almighty Allah”

As we all can now clearly see the truth and… We can now simply judge for ourselves and agree on this one fact:
The Almighty is Incomparably Great and can Not be compared to any of His creation e.g. a rock, a cloud, the sun, the moon, a man, a cow, being a father, having a son, being born, dying etc…

 

 

 

 

 

The Jews call ‘Uzair / Ezra a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is the saying from their mouth; (In this) they are intimate; what the Unbelievers of the old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth. [Qur'an 9:30] In Islaam Allah has none comparible to Him, He begettith not nor was He begotten.

Proof of the Above:
The Jews call ‘Uzair / Ezra a son of Allah:

http://www.islaam.ca/what-is-islam-/polytheism-association-with-allah/was-ezra-uzayr-called-the-son-of.html

Christians call Christ the son of Allah: http://www.jewsforjesus.org/publications/issues/1_9/son

 

The Almighty Allah reveals in the Holy Quraan who He is and answers the trinity question and the crucifixion and all questions one may have, The Holy Quraan is a Book of Divine Guidance “Scientifically proven…” 

 

 

 

 Islaam is the true religion with the Almighty, reference to this is the Final Revelation.
The Holy Quraan and the answers provided by The Almighty Allah self.
The true religion is in fact the religion which will overpower all wrong beliefs, it will make sense, and it will offer the best of offers to us the creation of The Almighty.
The true religion is so vast and far greater then that known to our minds.
The true religion is a VAST GREAT KINGDOM…
Why Islaam?
Because Islaam over powers all other beliefs Allah is Incomparably Great.

I now introduce you to The Holy Qur’an with references:

I firstly introduce you to Allah from the Holy Quran see Surah 112, (Al Ikhlas)
“He is Allah The One, Allah The Eternally Besought of all! He begettith not nor was He begotten. And there’s none comparable unto Him”
I refer you to Surah 4: (An Nisaa) verses 156 to 159 and then look at what Allah says in Quran in Surah 4: (An Nisa) 170 to 177
This will answer you perfectly The Lord of the Worlds is Allah, He is Incomparably Great so say not three as there is only One, if your belief is other then this then what you believe in is “Nothing” compared to what I believe in and what you believe in is very small and can Not be compared to Allah the Greatest. What I believe in is in fact far Greater then what you believe in.

Historical references… for further confirmation I present from the Holy Scriptures:

Holy Qur’an Prophesied by Isaiah

Jesus in the Holy Qur’an

Islaam in the Bible “The True Teachings of Jesus (Pbuh)”

WELCOME TO THE GREAT KINGDOM OF ISLAAM

 

What Do Muslims Believe?Muslims believe in One, Unique, Incomparable Allah; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day of Judgement and individual accountability for actions; in Allah’s complete authority over human destiny and in life after death. Muslims believe in a chain of prophets starting with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them.
But Allah’s final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message and a summing-up of all that has gone before was revealed to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) through Gabriel.
How Does Someone Become A Muslim?For a Muslim every action begins with your intention quietly to yourself you can make the intention to embrace Islaam as your faith and by simply saying with clarity of intention firm faith and belief: ‘I testify that there is none worthy of worship but Allah, and Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah.’ By this declaration the believer announces his or her faith in all Allah’s messengers, and the scriptures they brought. After this one can take a shower symbolically cleansing one from your past life. Then learn how to pray and practice Islaam in your daily life, then continue to learn and study in your new faith: Tips…
Before embracing Islaam, be sure to spend time studying the faith, reading books, and learning from other Muslims.
Your conversion should be based on knowledge, certainty, acceptance, submission, truthfulness, and sincerity.
It is not required to have Muslim witnesses to your conversion, but many prefer to have such support.
If you wish to go for Hajj (pilgrimage), a “certificate of Islam” may be required. Contact your local Islamic centre to obtain one.

Allah says “Establish the religion and be not divided therein” this is a commandment to all the Prophets and all of mankind. True Islaam has no sects…

What Does ‘Islaam’ Mean? The Arabic word ‘Islaam’ simply means ‘total submission to the will of the Almighty Allah’, and derives from a word meaning ‘peace’.
Why Does Islaam Often Seem Strange?Islaam may seem exotic or even extreme in the modern world. Perhaps this is because religion does not dominate everyday life in the World today, whereas Muslims have religion always uppermost in their minds, and make no division between secular and sacred. They believe that the Divine Law, the Shari’a, should be taken very seriously, which is why issues related to religion are still so important.
Do Islaam Judaism And Christianity Have Different Origins?Not really. Judaism and Christianity are sects of Islaam, Together they go back to the prophet and patriarch Ibrahim / Abraham (PBUH), and their three prophets are directly descended from his sons – Mohammad (PBUH) from the eldest, Ishmael (PBUH), and Moses (PBUH) and Jesus (PBUH) from Isaac (PBUH). Abraham (PBUH) established the settlement which today is the city of Makkah, and built the Ka’abah towards which all Muslims turn when they pray.
What Is The Ka’abah?The Ka’abah is the place of worship which Allah commanded Abraham (Ibrahim) and Ishmael to build over four thousand years ago. The building was constructed of stone on what many believe was the original site of a sanctuary established by Adam. Allah commanded Abraham to summon all mankind to visit this place, and when pilgrims go there today they say ‘At Thy service, O Lord’, in response to Abraham’s summons.
Who Is Mohammad (PBUH)?Mohammad (PBUH) is the final messenger of the Almighty Allah, he was born in Makkah in the year 570, at a time when Christianity was not yet fully established in Europe. Since his father died before his birth, and his mother shortly afterwards, he was raised by his uncle from the respected tribe of Quraysh. As he grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, so that he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. The historians describe him as calm and meditative.
Mohammad was of a deeply religious nature, and had long detested the decadence of his society. It became his habit to meditate from time to time in the Cave of Hira near the summit of Jaba al-Nur, the ‘Mountain of Light’ near Makkah.
How Did He Become A Prophet And A Messenger Of Allah? At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat, Muhammad received his first revelation from Allah through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for twenty-three years, is known as the Qur’an.
As soon as he began to recite the words he heard from Gabriel, and to preach the truth which Allah had revealed to him, he and his small group of followers suffered bitter persecution which grew so fierce that in the year 622 Allah gave them the command to emigrate. This event, the Hijra, ‘migration’, in which they left Makkah for the city of Madinah some 260 miles to the north, marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar.
After several years, the Prophet and his followers were able to return to Makkah, where they forgave their enemies and established Islaam definitively. Before the Prophet died at the age of 63, the greater part of Arabia was Muslim, and within a century of his death Islaam had spread to Spain in the West and as far East as China and today covers the world.
How Did The Spread Of Islaam Affect The World? Among the reasons for the rapid and peaceful spread of Islam was the simplicity of its doctrine-Islaam calls for faith in only one worthy of worship The Almighty Allah. It also repeatedly instructs man to use his powers of intelligence and observation.
Within a few years, great civilizations and universities were flourishing, for according to the Prophet, ’seeking knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim man and woman’. The synthesis of Eastern and Western ideas and of new thought with old, brought about great advances in medicine, mathematics, physics, astronomy, geography, architecture, art, literature, and history. Many crucial systems such as algebra, the Arabic numerals, and also the concept of the zero (vital to the advancement of mathematics), were transmitted to medieval Europe from Islaam. Sophisticated instruments which were to make possible the European voyages of discovery were developed, including the astrolabe, the quadrant and good navigational maps.
What Is The Qur’an? The Qur’an is a record of the exact words revealed by Allah through the Angel Gabriel to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). It was memorized by him and then dictated to his Companions, and written down by scribes, who cross-checked it during his lifetime. Not one word of its 114 chapters, Suras, has been changed over the centuries, so that the Qur’an is in every detail the unique and miraculous text which was revealed to Mohammad (PBUH) centuries ago.
What Is The Qur’an About? The Qur’an, the last revealed Word of Allah, is the prime source of every Muslim’s faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern us as human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship, and law, but its basic theme is the relationship between Allah and His creatures. At the same time it provides guidelines for a just society, proper human conduct and an equitable economic system.
Are There Any Other Sacred Sources? Yes, the Sunna, the practice and example of the Prophet, is the second authority for Muslims. A Hadith is a reliably transmitted report of what the Prophet said, did, or approved. Belief in the Sunna is part of the Islamic faith.
Examples Of The Prophet’s SayingsThe Prophet said:
‘Allah has no mercy on one who has no mercy for others’.
‘None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself’.
‘He who eats his fill while his neighbour goes without food is not a believer’.
‘The truthful and trusty businessman is associated with the prophets, the saints, and the martyrs’.
‘Powerful is not he who knocks the other down, indeed powerful is he who controls himself in a fit of anger’.
‘Allah does not judge according to your bodies and appearances but He scans your hearts and looks into your deeds’.
‘A man walking along a path felt very thirsty. Reaching a well he descended into it, drank his fill and came up. Then he saw a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst. The man saw that the dog was feeling the same thirst as he had felt so he went down into the well again and filled his shoe with water and gave the dog a drink. Allah forgave his sins for this action’. The Prophet was asked: ‘Messenger of Allah, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?’ He said, ‘There is a reward for kindness to every living thing’.
From the Hadith collections of Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi and Bayhaqi
What Are The ‘Five Pillars’ Of Islam?They are the framework of the Muslim life: faith, prayer, concern for the needy, self-purification, and the pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.

1. FAITH
There is none worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is His messenger. This declaration of faith is called the Shahada, a simple formula which all the faithful pronounce. In Arabic, the first part is la ilaha illa’Llah – ‘there is none except Allah’; ilaha (Worthy of Worship) can refer to anything which we may be tempted to put in place of Allah — wealth, power, and the like. Then comes illa’Llah:’ except Allah, the source of all Creation. The second part of the Shahada is Muhammadun rasulu’Llah: ‘Mohammad is the messenger of Allah’. A message of guidance has come through a man like ourselves.
2. PRAYER Salah is the name for the obligatory prayers which are performed five times a day, and are a direct link between the worshipper and Allah. There is no hierarchical authority in Islaam, and no priests, so the prayers are led by a learned person who knows the Qur’an, chosen by the congregation. These five prayers contain verses from the Qur’an, and are said in Arabic, the language of the Revelation, but personal supplication can be offered in one’s own language.
Prayers are said at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and nightfall, and thus determine the rhythm of the entire day. Although it is preferable to worship together in a mosque (Masjid), a Muslim may pray almost anywhere, such as in fields, offices, factories and universities. Visitors to the Muslim world are struck by the centrality of prayers in daily life.
3. THE ‘ZAKAT’ One of the most important principles of Islam is that all things belong to Allah, and that wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The word zakat means both ‘purification’ and ‘growth’. Our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need, and, like the pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.
Each Muslim calculates his or her own zakat individually. For most purposes this involves the payment each year of two and a half percent of one’s capital.
A pious person may also give as much as he or she pleases as sadaqa, and does so preferably in secret. Although this word can be translated as ‘voluntary charity’ it has a wider meaning. The Prophet said ‘even meeting your brother with a with his own hands for his benefit and then give something out of such earnings in charity’. The Companions asked: ‘What if he is not able to work?’ The Prophet said: ‘He should help poor and needy persons.’ The Companions further asked ‘What is he cannot do even that?’ The Prophet said ‘He should urge others to do good’. The Companions said ‘What if he lacks that also?’ The Prophet said ‘He should check himself from doing evil. That is also charity.’
4. THE FAST Every year in the month of Ramadan, all Muslims fast from first light until sundown, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations. Those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are pregnant or nursing are permitted to break the fast and make up an equal number of days later in the year. If they are physically unable to do this, they must feed a needy person for every day missed. Children begin to fast (and to observe the prayer) from puberty, although many start earlier.
Although the fast is most beneficial to the health, it is regarded principally as a method of self-purification. By cutting oneself off from worldly comforts, even for a short time, a fasting person gains true sympathy with those who go hungry as well as growth in one’s spiritual life.
5. PILGRIMAGE (Hajj) The annual pilgrimage to Makkah—the Hajj—is an obligation only for those who are physically and financially able to perform it. Nevertheless, about two million people go to Makkah each year from every corner of the globe providing a unique opportunity for those
of different nations to meet one another. Although Makkah is always filled with visitors, the annual Hajj begins in the twelfth month of the Islamic year (which is lunar, not solar, so that Hajj and Ramadan fall sometimes in summer, sometimes in winter). Pilgrims wear special clothes: simple garments which strip away distinctions of class and culture, so that all stand equal before Allah.
The rites of the Hajj, which are of Abrahamic origin, include circling the Ka’abah seven times, and going seven times between the mountains of cheerful face is charity’.
The Prophet said: ‘Charity is a necessity for every Muslim’. He was asked: ‘What if a person has nothing?’ The Prophet replied: ‘He should work Safa and Marwa as did Hagar during her search for water. Then the pilgrims stand together on the wide plain of Arafa and join in prayers for Allah’s forgiveness, in what is often thought of as a preview of the Last Judgement.
In previous centuries the Hajj was an arduous undertaking. Today, however, Saudi Arabia provides millions of people with water, modern transport, and the most up-to-date health facilities.
The close of the Hajj is marked by a festival, the Eid al-Adha, which is celebrated with prayers and the exchange of gifts in Muslim communities everywhere. This, and the Eid al-Fitr, a feast-day commemorating the end of Ramadan, are the main festivals of the Muslim calendar.
Does Islaam Tolerate Other Beliefs? The Qur’an says: Allah forbids you not, with regards to those who fight you not for (your) faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them; for Allah loveth those who are just. (Qur’an, 60:8)
It is one function of Muslim law to protect the privileged status of minorities, and this is why non-Muslim places of worship have flourished all over the Muslim world. History provides many examples of Muslim tolerance towards other faiths: when the caliph Omar entered Jerusalem in the year 634, Islaam granted freedom of worship to all religious communities in the city.
Muslim law also permits non- Muslim minorities to set up their own courts, which implement family laws drawn up by the minorities themselves.
However Allah will not accept any praise from those who praise Him not and on Judgement day their worship, praises and good deeds will be of no value. All praise be to Allah alone. On judgement day they will stand with their faces tired and be the companions of the Hell Fire and those who believe in Allah; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day of Judgement and individual accountability for actions; in Allah’s complete authority over human destiny and in life after death will by the Mercy of Allah enter Heaven (Jannah)
What Do Muslims Think About Jesus (PBUH)?Muslims respect and revere Jesus, and await his Second Coming. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah’s Messengers to mankind. A Muslim never refers to him simply as ‘Jesus’, but always adds the phrase ‘peace be upon him’. The Qur’an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur’an is entitled ‘Mary’), and Mary is considered the purest woman in all creation. The Qur’an describes the Annunciation as follows:
‘Behold!’ the Angel said, ‘Allah has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, Allah gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus (Isa) son of Mary, honoured in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to Allah. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and shall be of the righteous.’
She said: ‘O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?’ He said: ‘Even so; Allah creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, “Be!” and it is.’ (Qur’an, 3:42-7)
Jesus (Isa) was born miraculously through the same power which had brought Adam into being without a father:
Truly, the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, ‘Be!’ and he was. (3:59)
During his prophetic mission Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur’an tells us that he said:
I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by Allah’s leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by Allah’s leave. (3:49)
Neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in One Allah, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it. In the Qur’an Jesus is reported as saying that he came:
To attest the law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your
Lord, so fear Allah and obey me. (3:50)
The Prophet Muhammad said:
Whoever believes there is none worthy of worship but Allah, alone without a partner(s), that Mohammad is His messenger, that Jesus is the servant and messenger of Allah, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by Allah into Heaven (Jannah). (Hadith from Bukhari)
Why Is The Family So Important To Muslims?The family is the foundation of Islamic society. The peace and security offered by a stable family unit is greatly valued, and seen as essential for the spiritual growth of its members. A harmonious social order is created by the existence of extended families; children are treasured, and rarely leave home until the time they marry.
What About Muslim Women? Islaam sees a woman, whether single or married, as an individual in her own right, with the right to own and dispose of her property and earnings. A marriage dowry is given by the groom to the bride for her own personal use, and she keeps her own family name rather than taking her husband’s.
Both men and women are expected to dress in a way which is modest and dignified; the traditions of female dress found in some Muslim countries are often the expression of local customs.
The Messenger of Allah said:
‘The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best in manner and kindest to his wife.’
Can A Muslim Have More Than One Wife? The religion of Islaam was revealed for all societies and all times and so accommodates widely differing social requirements. Circumstances may warrant the taking of another wife but the right is granted, according to the Qur’an, only on condition that the husband is scrupulously fair.
Muslim MarriageA Muslim marriage is not a ’sacrament’, but a simple, legal agreement in which either partner is free to include conditions. Marriage customs thus vary widely from country to country. As a result, divorce is not common, although it is not forbidden as a last resort. According to Islaam, no Muslim girl can be forced to marry against her will: her parents will simply suggest young men they think may be suitable.
How Do Muslims Treat The Elderly? In the Muslim world there are no old people’s homes. The strain of caring for one’s parents in this most difficult time of their lives is considered an honour and blessing, and an opportunity for great spiritual growth. Allah asks that we not only pray for our parents, but act with limitless compassion, remembering that when we were helpless children they preferred us to themselves. Mothers are particularly honoured: the Prophet taught that ‘Paradise lies at the feet of mothers’. When they reach old age, Muslim parents are treated mercifully, with the same kindness and selflessness.
In Islaam, serving one’s parents is a duty second only to prayer, and it is their right to expect it. It is considered despicable to express any irritation when, through no fault of their own, the old become difficult.
The Qur’an says: Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and be kind to parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, do not say ‘uff’ to them or chide them, but speak to them in terms of honour and kindness. Treat them with humility, and say, ‘My Lord! Have mercy on them, for they did care for me when I was little’. (17:23-4)
How Do Muslims View Death?Like Jews and Christians, Muslims believe that the present life is only a trial preparation for the next realm of existence. Basic articles of faith include: the Day of Judgement, resurrection, Heaven and Hell. When a Muslim dies, he or she is washed, usually by a family member, wrapped in a clean white cloth, and buried with a simple prayer preferably the same day. Muslims consider this one of the final services they can do for their relatives, and an opportunity to remember their own brief existence here on earth. The Prophet taught that three things can continue to help a person even after death; charity which he had given, knowledge which he had taught and prayers on their behalf by a righteous child.
What Does Islaam Say About War? Like Christianity, Islam permits fighting in self-defence, in defence of religion, or on the part of those who have been expelled forcibly from their homes. It lays down strict rules of combat which include prohibitions against harming civilians and against destroying crops, trees and livestock. As Muslims see it, injustice would be triumphant in the world if good men were not prepared to risk their lives in a righteous cause. The Qur’an says:
Fight in the cause of Allah against those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. Allah does not love transgressors. (2:190)
If they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in Allah for He is the One that heareth and knoweth all things. (8:61)
War, therefore, is the last resort, and is subject to the rigorous conditions laid down by the sacred law. The term Jihad literally means ‘struggle’, and Muslims believe that there are two kinds of Jihad. The other ‘Jihad’ is the inner struggle which everyone wages against egotistic desires, for the sake of attaining inner peace.
What About Food?Although much simpler than the dietary law followed by Jews and the early Christians, the code which Muslims observe forbids the consumption of pig meat or any kind of intoxicating drink. The Prophet taught that ‘your body has rights over you’ and the consumption of wholesome food and the leading of a healthy lifestyle are seen as religious obligations.
The Prophet said: ‘Ask Allah for certainty (of faith) and well-being; for after certainty, no one is given any gift better than health!’
How Does Islaam Guarantee Human Rights? Freedom of conscience is laid down by the Qur’an itself: ‘There is no compulsion in religion’. (2:256)
The life and property of all citizens in a Muslim state are considered sacred whether a person is Muslim or not.
Racism is incomprehensible to Muslims, for the Qur’an speaks of human equality in the following terms: O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Truly, the most honoured of you in Allah’s sight is the greatest of you in piety. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (49:13)

Al Quran
In the name of ALLAH, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
16:125 Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.

In the name of ALLAH, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Surah 3 – Al Imran (The Family Of Imran)
98. Say: “O People of the Book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, when Allah is Himself witness to all ye do?”
99. Say: “O ye People of the Book! Why obstruct ye those who believe, from the path of Allah, seeking to make it crooked, while ye were yourselves witnesses (to Allah’s Covenant)? But Allah is not unmindful of all that ye do.”
100. O ye who believe! If ye listen to a faction among the People of the Book, they would (indeed) render you apostates after ye have believed!
101. And how would ye deny Faith while unto you are rehearsed the Signs of Allah, and among you lives the Messenger. Whoever holds firmly to Allah will be shown a way that is straight.
102. O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islám.
103. And hold fast, all together, by the Rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah’s favor on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make His Signs clear to you that ye may be guided.
104. Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.
105. Be not like those who are divided amongst themselves and fall into disputations after receiving Clear Signs: For them is a dreadful penalty.

Surah 2 – Al Baqarah
127. And remember Ibrahim (Abraham) and Isma’il raised the foundations of the House (The Kaba) (with this prayer): “Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us: For Thou art the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.”
128. “Our Lord! make of us Muslims, bowing to Thy (Will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (Will); and show us our place for the celebration of (due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy); for Thou art the Oft-Relenting, Most Merciful.
129. “Our Lord! send amongst them a Messenger of their own, who shall rehearse Thy Signs to them and instruct them in scripture and wisdom, and sanctify them: For Thou art the Exalted in Might, the Wise.”
130. And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him We chose and rendered pure in this world: And he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous.
131. Behold! his Lord said to him: “Submit (thy will to Me):” He said: “I submit (my will) to the Lord and Cherisher of the Universe.”
132. And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob; “Oh my sons! Allah hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the state of submission.”(Islaam)
133. Were ye witnesses when death appeared before Jacob? Behold, he said to his sons: “What will ye worship after me?” They said: “We shall worship Thy Lord and the Lord of thy fathers, of Abraham, Isma’il and Isaac,- the One (True) Lord. To Him do we submit (in Islaam).”

Surah 12 – Yusuf (Joseph):
99. Then when they entered the presence of Joseph, he provided a home for his parents with himself, and said: “Enter ye Egypt (all) in safety if it please Allah.”
100. And he raised his parents high on the throne, and they fell down in prostration, (all) before him. He said: “O my father! this is the fulfillment of my vision of old! Allah hath made it come true! He was indeed good to me when He took me out of prison and
brought you (all here) out of the desert, (even) after Satan had sown enmity between me and my brothers. Verily my Lord is
Gracious to whom He wills, for verily He is full of knowledge and wisdom.
101. “O my Lord! Thou hast indeed bestowed on me some power, and taught me something of the interpretation of dreams and events,- O Thou Creator of the heavens and the earth! Thou art my Protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Take Thou my soul (at death) as one submitting to Thy Will (as a Muslim), and unite me with the righteous.”

 

 

 

Surah 3 – Al Imran

42. Behold! the angels said: “O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee and purified thee- chosen thee above the women of all nations.
43. “O Mary! worship thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down.”
44. This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Messenger.) by inspiration: Thou wast not with
them when they cast lots with pens (or arrows), as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary: Nor wast thou with
them when they disputed (the point).
45. Behold! the angels said: “O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of
Mary, held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah.”
46. “He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous.”
47. She said: “O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?” He said: “Even so; Allah createth what He
willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, ‘Be,’ and it is!”
48. “And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel,”
49. “And (appoint him) as a messenger to the Children of Israel, (with this message): “‘I have come to you, with a Sign from your
Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah’s leave:
And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I bring the dead into life, by Allah’s leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and
what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;
50. ” ‘(I have come to you), to attest the Torah which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (Before)
forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me.
51. ” ‘It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.’”
52. When Jesus found unbelief on their part he said: “Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?” Said the disciples: “We are
Allah’s helpers: We believe in Allah, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.”
53. “Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Messenger. then write us down among those who bearwitness.”
67. Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah’s (which is Islaam), and he joined none with Allah.
102. O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islaam.

From The Holy Quran
9:58AM, Friday, 10 Oct, 2008
I can not give you guidance in any way, the Almighty self tells gives guidance…Enjoy the read…II THE COW In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate Alif Lam Mim 1 That is the Book, wherein is no doubt, a guidance to the ones fearing The Almighty Allah who believe in the Unseen, and perform the prayer, and expend of that We have provided them; who believe in what has been sent down to thee and what has been sent down before thee, and have faith in the Hereafter; those are upon guidance from their Lord, those are the ones who prosper. 5 As for the unbelievers, alike it is to them whether thou hast warned them or hast not warned them, they do not believe. Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a covering, and there awaits them a mighty chastisement. And some men there are who say, ‘We believe in Allah and the Last Day’; but they are not believers. They would trick Allah and the believers, and only themselves they deceive, and they are not aware. In their hearts is a sickness, and Allah has increased their sickness, and there awaits them a painful chastisement for that they have cried lies. 10 When it is said to them, ‘Do not corruption in the land’, they say, ‘We are only ones that put things right.’ Truly, they are the workers of corruption but they are not aware. When it is said to them, ‘Believe as the people believe’, they say, ‘Shall we believe, as fools believe?’ Truly, they are the foolish ones, but they do not know. When they meet those who beliieve, they say, ‘We believe’; but when they go privily to their Satans, they say, ‘We are with you; we were only mocking.’ The Almighty Allah shall mock them, and shall lead them on blindly wandering in their insolence. 15 Those are they that have bought error at the price of guidance, and their commerce has not profited them, and they are not right-guided. The likeness of them is as the likeness of a man who kindled a fire, and when it lit all about him Allah took away their light, and left them in darkness unseeing, deaf, dumb, blind — so they shall not return; or as a cloudburst out of heaven in which is darkness, and thunder, and lightning — they put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps, fearful of death; and Allah encompasses the unbelievers; the lightning wellnigh snatches away their sight; whensoever it gives them light, they walk in it, and when the darkness is over them, they halt; had Allah willed, He would have taken away their hearing and their sight. Truly, Allah is powerful over everything. O you men, serve your Lord Who created you, and those that were before you; haply so you will be Allahfearing; 20 who assigned to you the earth for a couch, and heaven for an edifice, and sent down out of heaven water, wherewith He brought forth fruits for your provision; so set not up compeers to Allah wittingly. And if you are in doubt concerning that We have sent down on Our servant, then bring a sura like it, and call your witnesses, apart from Allah, if you are truthful. And if you do not — and you will not — then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for unbelievers. Give thou good tidings to those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, that for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; whensoever they are provided with fruits therefrom they shall say, ‘This is that wherewithal we were provided before’; that they shall be given in perfect semblance; and there for them shall be spouses purified; therein they shall dwell forever. Allah is not ashamed to strike a similitude even of a gnat, or aught above it. As for the believers, they know it is the truth from their Lord; but as for unbelievers, they say, ‘What did Allah desire by this for a similitude?’ Thereby He leads many astray, and thereby He guides many; and thereby He leads none astray save the unAllahly 25 such as break the covenant of Allah after its solemn binding, and such as cut what Allah has commanded should be joined, and such as do corruption in the land — they shall be the losers. How do you disbelieve in Allah, seeing you were dead and He gave you life, then He shall make you dead, then He shall give you life, then unto Him you shall be returned? It is He who created for you all that is in the earth, then He lifted Himself to heaven and levelled them seven heavens; and He has knowledge of everything. And when thy Lord said to the angels, ‘I am setting in the earth a viceroy.’ They said, ‘What, wilt Thou set therein one who will do corruption there, and shed blood, while we proclaim Thy praise and call Thee Holy?’ He said, ‘Assuredly I know that you know not.’ And He taught Adam the names, all of them; then He presented them unto the angels and said, ‘Now tell Me the names of these, if you speak truly.’ 30 They said, ‘Glory be to Thee! We know not save what Thou hast taught us. Surely Thou art the All-knowing, the All-wise.’ He said, ‘Adam, tell them their names.’ And when he had told them their names He said, ‘Did I not tell you I know the unseen things of the heavens and earth? And I know what things you reveal, and what you were hiding.’ And when We said to the angels, ‘Bow yourselves to Adam’; so they bowed themselves, save Iblis; he refused, and waxed proud, and so he became one of the unbelievers. And We said, ‘Adam, dwell thou, and thy wife, in the Garden, and eat thereof easefully where you desire; but draw not nigh this tree, lest you be evildoers.’ Then Satan caused them to slip therefrom and brought them out of that they were in; and We said, ‘Get you all down, each of you an enemy of each; and in the earth a sojourn shall be yours, and enjoyment for a time.’ 35 Thereafter Adam received certain words from his Lord, and He turned towards him; truly He turns, and is All-compassionate. We said, ‘Get you down out of it, all together; yet there shall come to you guidance from Me, and whosoever follows My guidance, no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow. As for the unbelievers who cry lies to Our signs, those shall be the inhabitants of the Fire, therein dwelling forever.’ Children of Israel, remember My blessing wherewith I blessed you, and fulfil My covenant and I shall fulfil your covenant; and have awe of Me. And believe in that I have sent down, confirming that which is with you, and be not the first to disbelieve in it. And sell not My signs for a little price; and fear you Me. And do not confound the truth with vanity, and do not conceal the truth wittingly. 40 And perform the prayer, and pay the alms, and bow with those that bow. Will you bid others to piety, and forget yourselves while you recite the Book? Do you not understand? Seek you help in patience and prayer, for grievous it is, save to the humble who reckon that they shall meet their Lord and that unto Him they are returning. Children of Israel, remember My blessing wherewith I blessed you, and that I have preferred you above all beings; and beware of a day when no soul for another 45 shall give satisfaction, and no intercession shall be accepted from it, nor any counterpoise be taken, neither shall they be helped. And when We delivered you from the folk of Pharaoh who were visiting you with evil chastisement, slaughtering your sons, and sparing your women; and in that was a grievous trial from your Lord. And when We divided for you the sea and delivered you, and drowned Pharaoh’s folk while you were beholding. And when We appointed with Moses forty nights then you took to yourselves the Calf after him and you were evildoers; then We pardoned you after that, that haply you should be thankful. 50 And when We gave to Moses the Book and the Salvation, that haply you should be guided. And when Moses said to his people, ‘My people, you have done wrong against yourselves by your taking the Calf; now turn to your Creator and slay one another (the transgressors). That will be better for you in your Creator’s sight, and He will turn to you; truly He turns, and is All-compassionate.’ And when you said, ‘Moses, we will not believe thee till we see Allah openly’; and the thunderbolt took you while you were beholding. Then We raised you up after you were dead, that haply you should be thankful. And We outspread the cloud to overshadow you, and We sent down manna and quails upon you: ‘Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you. And they worked no wrong upon Us, but themselves they wronged. 55 And when We said, ‘Enter this township, and eat easefully of it wherever you will, and enter in at the gate, prostrating, and say, Unburdening; We will forgive you your transgressions, and increase the good-doers.’ Then the evildoers substituted a saying other than that which had been said to them; so We sent down upon the evildoers wrath out of heaven for their unAllahliness. And when Moses sought water for his people, so We said, ‘Strike with thy staff the rock’; and there gushed forth from it twelve fountains; all the people knew now their drinking-place. ‘Eat and drink of Allah’s providing, and mischief not in the earth, doing corruption.’ And when you said, ‘Moses, we will not endure one sort of food; pray to thy Lord for us, that He may bring forth for us of that the earth produces — green herbs, cucumbers, corn, lentils, onions.’ He said, ‘Would you have in exchange what is meaner for what is better? Get you down to Egypt; you shall have there that you demanded.’ And abasement and poverty were pitched upon them, and they were laden with the burden of Allah’s anger; that, because they had disbelieved the signs of Allah and slain the Prophets unrightfully; that, because they disobeyed, and were transgressors. Surely they that believe, and those of Jewry, and the Christians, and those Sabaeans, whoso believes in Allah and the Last Day, and works righteousness — their wage awaits them with their Lord, and no fear shall be on them; neither shall they sorrow. 60 And when We took compact with you, and raised above you the Mount: ‘Take forcefully what We have given you, and remember what is in it; haply you shall be Allahfearing.’ Then you turned away thereafter, and but for the bounty and mercy of Allah towards you, you had been of the losers. And well you know there were those among you that transgressed the Sabbath, and We said to them, ‘Be you apes, miserably slinking!’ And We made it a punishment exemplary for all the former times and for the latter, and an admonition to such as are Allahfearing. And when Moses said to his people, ‘Allah commands you to sacrifice a cow.’ They said, ‘Dost thou take us in mockery?’ He said, ‘I take refuge with Allah, lest I should be one of the ignorant.’ They said, ‘Pray to thy Lord for us, that He may make clear to us what she may be.’ He said, ‘He says she is a cow neither old, nor virgin, middling between the two; so do that you are bidden.’ 65 They said, ‘Pray to thy Lord for us, that He make clear to us what her colour may be.’ He said, ‘He says she shall be a golden cow, bright her colour, gladdening the beholders.’ They said, ‘Pray to thy Lord for us, that He make clear to us what she may be; cows are much alike to us; and, if Allah will, we shall then be guided.’ He said, ‘He says she shall be a cow not broken to plough the earth or to water the tillage, one kept secure, with no blemish on her.’ They said, ‘Now thou hast brought the truth’; and therefore they sacrificed her, a thing they had scarcely done. And when you killed a living soul, and disputed thereon — and Allah disclosed what you were hiding — so We said, ‘Smite him with part of it’; even so Allah brings to life the dead, and He shows you His signs, that haply you may have understanding. Then your hearts became hardened thereafter and are like stones, or even yet harder; for there are stones from which rivers come gushing, and others split, so that water issues from them, and others crash down in the fear of Allah. And Allah is not heedless of the things you do. 70 Are you then so eager that they should believe you, seeing there is a party of them that heard Allah ’s word, and then tampered with it, and that after they had comprehended it, wittingly? And when they meet those who believe, they say ‘We believe’; and when they go privily one to another, they say, ‘Do you speak to them of what Allah has revealed to you, that they may thereby dispute with you before your Lord? Have you no understanding?’ Know they not that Allah knows what they keep secret and what they publish? And some there are of them that are common folk not knowing the Book, but only fancies and mere conjectures. So woe to those who write the Book with their hands, then say, ‘This is from Allah,’ that they may sell it for a little price; so woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for their earnings. And they say, ‘The Fire shall not touch us save a number of days.’ Say: ‘Have you taken with Allah a covenant? Allah will not fail in His covenant; or say you things against Allah of which you know nothing? 75 Not so; whoso earns evil, and is encompassed by his transgression — those are the inhabitants of the Fire; there they shall dwell forever. And those that believe, and do deeds of righteousness — those are the inhabitants of Paradise; there they shall dwell forever.’ And when We took compact with the Children of Israel: ‘You shall not serve any save Allah; and to be good to parents, and the near kinsman, and to orphans, and to the needy; and speak good to men, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms.’ Then you turned away, all but a few of you, swerving aside. And when We took compact with you: ‘You shall not shed your own blood, neither expel your own from your habitations’; then you confirmed it and yourselves bore witness. Then there you are killing one another, and expelling a party of you from their habitations, conspiring against them in sin and enmity; and if they come to you as captives, you ransom them; yet their expulsion was forbidden you. What, do you believe in part of the Book, and disbelieve in part? What shall be the recompense of those of you who do that, but degradation in the present life, and on the Day of Resurrection to be returned unto the most terrible of chastisement? And Allah is not heedless of the things you do. 80 Those who have purchased the present life at the price of the world to come — for them the chastisement shall not be lightened, neither shall they be helped. And We gave to Moses the Book, and after him sent succeeding Messengers; and We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear signs, and confirmed him with the Holy Spirit; and whensoever there came to you a Messenger with that your souls had not desire for, did you become arrogant, and some cry lies to, and some slay? And they say, ‘Our hearts are uncircumcised.’ Nay, but Allah has cursed them for their unbelief; little will they believe. When there came to them a Book from Allah, confirming what was with them — and they aforetimes prayed for victory over the unbelievers — when there came to them that they recognized, they disbelieved in it; and the curse of Allah is on the unbelievers. Evil is the thing they have sold themselves for, disbelieving in that which Allah sent down, grudging that Allah should send down of His bounty on whomsoever He will of His servants, and they were laden with anger upon anger; and for unbelievers awaits a humbling chastisement. 85 And when they were told, ‘Believe in that Allah has sent down,’ they said, ‘We believe in what was sent down on us’; and they disbelieve in what is beyond that, yet it is the truth confirming what is with them. Say: ‘Why then were you slaying the Prophets of Allah in former time, if you were believers?’ And Moses came to you with the clear signs, then you took to yourselves the Calf after him and you were evildoers. And when We took compact with you, and raised over you the Mount: ‘Take forcefully what We have given you and give ear.’ They said, ‘We hear, and rebel’; and they were made to drink the Calf in their hearts for their unbelief. Say: ‘Evil is the thing your faith bids you to, if you are believers.’ Say: ‘If the Last Abode with Allah is yours exclusively, and not for other people, then long for death — if you speak truly.’ But they will never long for it, because of that their hands have forwarded; Allah knows the evildoers; 90 and thou shalt find them the eagerest of men for life. And of the idolaters; there is one of them wishes if he might be spared a thousand years, yet his being spared alive shall not remove him from the chastisement. Allah sees the things they do. Say: ‘Whosoever is an enemy to Gabriel — he it was that brought it down upon thy heart by the leave of Allah, confirming what was before it, and for a guidance and good tidings to the believers. Whosoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and His Messengers, and Gabriel, and Michael — surely Allah is an enemy to the unbelievers.’ And We have sent down unto thee signs, clear signs, and none disbelieves in them except the unAllahly. Why, whensoever they have made a covenant, does a party of them reject it? Nay, but the most of them are unbelievers. 95 When there has come to them a Messenger from Allah confirming what was with them, a party of them that were given the Book reject the Book of Allah behind their backs, as though they knew not, and they follow what the Satans recited over Solomon’s kingdom. Solomon disbelieved not, but the Satans disbelieved, teaching the people sorcery, and that which was sent down upon Babylon’s two angels, Harut and Marut; they taught not any man, without they said, ‘We are but a temptation; do not disbelieve.’ From them they learned how they might divide a man and his wife, yet they did not hurt any man thereby, save by the leave of Allah, and they learned what hurt them, and did not profit them, knowing well that whoso buys it shall have no share in the world to come; evil then was that they sold themselves for, if they had but known. Yet had they believed, and been Allahfearing, a recompense from Allah had been better, if they had but known. O believers, do not say, ‘Observe us,’ but say, ‘Regard us’; and give ear; for unbelievers awaits a painful chastisement. Those unbelievers of the People of the Book and the idolaters wish not that any good should be sent down upon you from your Lord; but Allah singles out for His mercy whom He will; Allah is of bounty abounding. 100 And for whatever verse We abrogate or cast into oblivion, We bring a better or the like of it; knowest thou not that Allah is powerful over everything? Knowest thou not that to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and that you have none, apart from Allah , neither protector nor helper? Or do you desire to question your Messenger as Moses was questioned in former time? Whoso exchanges belief for unbelief has surely strayed from the right way. Many of the People of the Book wish they might restore you as unbelievers, after you have believed, in the jealousy of their souls, after the truth has become clear to them; yet do you pardon and be forgiving, till Allah brings His command; truly Allah is powerful over everything. And perform the prayer, and pay the alms; whatever good you shall forward to your souls’ account, you shall find it with Allah; assuredly Allah sees the things you do. 105 And they say, ‘None shall enter Paradise except that they be Jews or Christians.’ Such are their fancies. Say: ‘Produce your proof, if you speak truly.’ Nay, but whosoever submits his will to Allah, being a good-doer, his wage is with his Lord, and no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow. The Jews say, ‘The Christians stand not on anything’; the Christians say, ‘The Jews stand not on anything’; yet they recite the Book. So too the ignorant say the like of them. Allah shall decide between them on the Day of Resurrection touching their differences. And who does greater evil than he who bars Allah ’s places of worship, so that His Name be not rehearsed in them, and strives to destroy them? Such men might never enter them, save in fear; for them is degradation in the present world, and in the world to come a mighty chastisement. To Allah belong the East and the West; whithersoever you turn, there is the Face of Allah; Allah is All-embracing, All-knowing. 110 And they say, ‘ Allah has taken to Him a son. Glory be to Him! Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth; all obey His will — the Creator of the heavens and the earth; and when He decrees a thing, He but says to it ‘Be,’ and it is. And they that know not say, ‘Why does Allah not speak to us? Why does a sign not come to us?’ So spoke those before them as these men say; their hearts are much alike. Yet We have made clear the signs unto a people who are sure We have sent thee with the truth, good tidings to bear, and warning. Thou shalt not be questioned touching the inhabitants of Hell. Never will the Jews be satisfied with thee, neither the Christians, not till thou followest their religion. Say: ‘ Allah ’s guidance is the true guidance.’ If thou followest their caprices, after the knowledge that has come to thee, thou shalt have against Allah neither protector nor helper. 115 Those to whom We have given the Book and who recite it with true recitation, they believe in it; and whoso disbelieves in it, they shall be the losers. Children of Israel, remember My blessing wherewith I blessed you, and that I have preferred you above all beings; and beware a day when no soul for another shall give satisfaction, and no counterpoise shall be accepted from it, nor any intercession shall be profitable to it, neither shall they be helped. And when his Lord tested Abraham with certain words, and he fulfilled them. He said, ‘Behold, I make you a leader for the people.’ Said he, ‘And of my seed?’ He said ‘My covenant shall not reach the evildoers.’ And when We appointed the House to be a place of visitation for the people, and a sanctuary, and: ‘Take to yourselves Abraham’s station for a place of prayer.’ And We made covenant with Abraham and Ishmael: ‘Purify My House for those that shall go about it and those that cleave to it, to those who bow and prostrate themselves.’ 120 And when Abraham said, ‘My Lord, make this a land secure, and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day.’ He said, ‘And whoso disbelieves, to him I shall give enjoyment a little, then I shall compel him to the chastisement of the Fire — how evil a homecoming!’ And when Abraham, and Ishmael with him, raised up the foundations of the House: ‘Our Lord, receive this from us; Thou art the All-hearing, the All-knowing; and, our Lord, make us submissive to Thee, and of our seed a nation submissive to Thee; and show us our holy rites, and turn towards us; surely Thou turnest, and art All-compassionate; and, our Lord, do Thou send among them a Messenger, one of them, who shall recite to them Thy signs, and teach them the Book and the Wisdom, and purify them; Thou art the All-mighty, the All-wise.’ Who therefore shrinks from the religion of Abraham, except he be foolish-minded? Indeed, We chose him in the present world, and in the world to come he shall be among the righteous. 125 When his Lord said to him, ‘Surrender,’ he said, ‘I have surrendered me to the Lord of all Being.’ And Abraham charged his sons with this and Jacob likewise: ‘My sons, Allah has chosen for you the religion; see that you die not save in surrender.’ Why, were you witnesses, when death came to Jacob? When he said to his sons, ‘What will you serve after me?’ They said, ‘We will serve thy Allah and the Allah of thy fathers Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac, One Allah; to Him we surrender.’ That is a nation that has passed away; there awaits them that they have earned, and there awaits you that you have earned; you shall not be questioned concerning the things they did. And they say, ‘Be Jews or Christians and you shall be guided.’ Say thou: ‘Nay, rather the creed of Abraham, a man of pure faith; he was no idolater.’ 130 Say you: ‘We believe in Allah, and in that which has been sent down on us and sent down on Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob, and the Tribes, and that which was given to Moses and Jesus and the Prophets, of their Lord; we make no division between any of them, and to Him we surrender.’ And if they believe in the like of that you believe in, then they are truly guided; but if they turn away, then they are clearly in schism; Allah will suffice you for them; He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing; the baptism of Allah; and who is there that baptizes fairer than Allah? Him we are serving. Say: ‘Would you then dispute with us concerning Allah, who is our Lord and your Lord? Our deeds belong to us, and to you belong your deeds; Him we serve sincerely. Or do you say, “Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob, and the Tribes — they were Jews, or they were Christians”?’ Say: ‘Have you then greater knowledge, or Allah? And who does greater evil than he who conceals a testimony received from Allah? And Allah is not heedless of the things you do.’ 135 That is a nation that has passed away; there awaits them that they have earned, and there awaits you that you have earned; you shall not be questioned concerning the things they did. The fools among the people will say, ‘What has turned them from the direction they were facing in their prayers aforetime?’ Say: “To Allah belong the East and the West; He guides whomsoever He will to a straight path.’ Thus We appointed you a midmost nation that you might be witnesses to the people, and that the Messenger might be a witness to you; and We did not appoint the direction thou wast facing, except that We might know who followed the Messenger from him who turned on his heels — though it were a grave thing save for those whom Allah has guided; but Allah would never leave your faith to waste — truly, Allah is All — gentle with the people, All-compassionate. We have seen thee turning thy face about in the heaven; now We will surely turn thee to a direction that shall satisfy thee. Turn thy face towards the Holy Mosque; and wherever you are, turn your faces towards it. Those who have been given the Book know it is the truth from their Lord; Allah is not heedless of the things they do. 140 Yet if thou shouldst bring to those that have been given the Book every sign, they will not follow thy direction; thou art not a follower of their direction, neither are they followers of one another’s direction. If thou followest their caprices, after the knowledge that has come to thee, then thou wilt surely be among the evildoers whom We have given the Book, and they recognize as they recognize their sons, even though there is a party of them conceal the truth and that wittingly. The truth comes from thy Lord; then be not among the doubters. Every man has his direction to which he turns; so be you forward in good works. Wherever you may be, Allah will bring you all together; surely Allah is powerful over everything. From whatsoever place thou issuest, turn thy face towards the Holy Mosque; it is the truth from thy Lord. Allah is not heedless of the things you do. 145 From whatsoever place thou issuest, turn thy face towards the Holy Mosque; and wherever you may be, turn your faces towards it, that the people may not have any argument against you, excepting the evildoers of them; and fear you them not, but fear you Me; and that I may perfect My blessing upon you, and that haply so you may be guided; as also We have sent among you, of yourselves, a Messenger, to recite Our signs to you and to purify you, and to teach you the Book and the Wisdom, and to teach you that you knew not. So remember Me, and I will remember you; and be thankful to Me; and be you not ungrateful towards Me. O all you who believe, seek you help in patience and prayer; surely Allah is with the patient. And say not of those slain in Allah’s way, ‘They are dead’; rather they are living, but you are not aware. 150 Surely We will try you with something of fear and hunger, and diminution of goods and lives and fruits; yet give thou good tidings unto the patient who, when they are visited by an affliction, say, ‘Surely we belong to Allah, and to Him we return’; upon those rest blessings and mercy from their Lord, and those — they are the truly guided. Safa and Marwa are among the waymarks of Allah; so whosoever makes the Pilgrimage to the House, or the Visitation, it is no fault in him to circumambulate them; and whoso volunteers good, Allah is All-grateful, All-knowing Those who conceal the clear signs and the guidance that We have sent down, after We have shown them clearly in the Book — they shall be cursed by Allah and the cursers, 155 save such as repent and make amends, and show clearly — towards them I shall turn; I turn, All-compassionate. But those who disbelieve, and die disbelieving — upon them shall rest the curse of Allah and the angels, and of men altogether, therein dwelling forever; the chastisement shall not be lightened for them; no respite shall be given them. Your Allah is One Allah; there is no Allah but He, the All-merciful, the All-compassionate. Surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of night and day and the ship that runs in the sea with profit to men, and the water Allah sends down from heaven therewith reviving the earth after it is dead and His scattering abroad in it all manner of crawling thing, and the turning about of the winds and the clouds compelled between heaven and earth — surely there are signs for a people having understanding. 160 Yet there be men who take to themselves compeers apart from Allah, loving them as Allah is loved; but those that believe love Allah more ardently. O if the evildoers might see, when they see the chastisement, that the power altogether belongs to Allah, and that Allah is terrible in chastisement, when those that were followed disown their followers, and they see the chastisement, and their cords are cut asunder, and those that followed say, ‘O if only we might return again and disown them, as they have disowned us!’ Even so Allah shall show them their works. O bitter regrets for them! Never shall they issue from the Fire. O men, eat of what is in the earth lawful and good; and follow not the steps of Satan; he is a manifest foe to you. He only commands you to evil and indecency, and that you should speak against Allah such things as you know not. 165 And when it is said to them, ‘Follow what Allah has sent down,’ they say, ‘No; but we will follow such things as we found our fathers doing.’ What? And if their fathers had no understanding of anything, and if they were not guided? The likeness of those who disbelieve is as the likeness of one who shouts to that which hears nothing, save a call and a cry; deaf, dumb, blind — they do not understand. O believers, eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you, and give thanks to Allah, if it be Him that you serve. These things only has He forbidden you: carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, what has been hollowed to other than Allah. Yet who so is constrained, not desiring nor transgressing, no sin shall be on him; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Those who conceal what of the Book Allah has sent down on them, and sell it for a little price –they shall eat naught but the Fire in their bellies; Allah shall not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection neither purify them; there awaits them a painful chastisement. 170 Those are they that have bought error at the price of guidance, and chastisement at the price of pardon; how patiently they shall endure the Fire! That, because Allah has sent down the Book with the truth; and those that are at variance regarding the Book are in wide schism. It is not piety, that you turn your faces to the East and to the West. True piety is this: to believe in Allah, and the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the Prophets, to give of one’s substance, however cherished, to kinsmen, and orphans, the needy, the traveller, beggars, and to ransom the slave, to perform the prayer, to pay the alms. And they who fulfil their covenant when they have engaged in a covenant, and endure with fortitude misfortune, hardship and peril, these are they who are true in their faith, these are the truly Allahfearing. O believers, prescribed for you is retaliation, touching the slain; freeman for freeman, slave for slave, female for female. But if aught is pardoned a man by his brother, let the pursuing be honourable, and let the payment be with kindliness. That is a lightening granted you by your Lord, and a mercy; and for him who commits aggression after that — for him there awaits a painful chastisement. 175 In retaliation there is life for you, men possessed of minds; haply you will be Allahfearing. Prescribed for you, when any of you is visited by death, and he leaves behind some goods, is to make testament in favour of his parents and kinsmen honourably — an obligation on the Allahfearing. Then if any man changes it after hearing it, the sin shall rest upon those who change it; surely Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing. But if any man fears injustice or sin from one making testament, and so makes things right between them, then sin shall not rest upon him; surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. O believers, prescribed for you is the Fast, even as it was prescribed for those that were before you — haply you will be Allahfearing – 180 for days numbered; and if any of you be sick, or if he be on a journey, then a number of other days; and for those who are able to fast, a redemption by feeding a poor man. Yet better. it is for him who volunteers good, and that you should fast is better for you, if you but know; the month of Ramadan, wherein the Koran was sent down to be a guidance to the people, and as clear signs of the Guidance and the Salvation. So let those of you, who are present at the month, fast it; and if any of you be sick, or if he be on a journey, then a number of other days; Allah desires ease for you, and desires not hardship for you; and that you fulfil the number, and magnify Allah that He has guided you, and haply you will be thankful. And when My servants question thee concerning Me — I am near to answer the call of the caller, when he calls to Me; so let them respond to Me, and let them believe in Me; haply so they will go aright. Permitted to you, upon the night of the Fast, is to go in to your wives; — they are a vestment for you, and you are a vestment for them. Allah knows that you have been betraying yourselves, and has turned to you and pardoned you. So now lie with them, and seek what Allah has prescribed for you. And eat and drink, until the white thread shows clearly to you from the black thread at the dawn; then complete the Fast unto the night, and do not lie with them while you cleave to the mosques. Those are Allah’s bounds; keep well within them. So Allah makes clear His signs to men; haply they will be Allahfearing. Consume not your goods between you in vanity; neither proffer it to the judges, that you may sinfully consume a portion of other men’s goods, and that wittingly. 185 They will question thee concerning the new moons. Say: ‘They are appointed times for the people, and the Pilgrimage.’ It is; not piety to come to the houses from the backs of them; but piety is to be Allahfearing; so come to the houses by their doors, and fear Allah; haply so you will prosper. And fight in the way of Allah with those; who fight with you, but aggress not: Allah loves not the aggressors. And slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them — such is the recompense of unbelievers — but if they give over, surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers. 190 The holy month for the holy month; holy things demand retaliation. Whoso commits aggression against you, do you commit aggression against him like as he has committed against you, and fear you Allah, and know that Allah is with the Allahfearing. And expend in the way of Allah; and cast not yourselves by your own hands into destruction, but be good-doers; Allah loves the good-doers. Fulfil the Pilgrimage and the Visitation unto Allah; but if you are prevented, then such offering as may be feasible. And shave not your heads, till the offering reaches its place of sacrifice. If any of you is sick, or injured in his head, then redemption by fast, or freewill offering, or ritual sacrifice. When you are secure, then whosoever enjoys the Visitation until the Pilgrimage, let his offering be such as may be feasible; or if he finds none, then a fast of three days in the Pilgrimage, and of seven when you return, that is ten completely; that is for him whose family are not present at the Holy Mosque. And fear Allah, and know that Allah is terrible in retribution. The Pilgrimage is in months well-known; whoso undertakes the duty of Pilgrimage in them shall not go in to his womenfolk nor indulge in not believing in Allah and disputing in the Pilgrimage. Whatever good you do, Allah knows it. And take provision; but the best provision is Allahfearing, so fear you Me, men possessed of minds! It is no fault in you, that you should seek bounty from your Lord; but when you press on from Arafat, then remember Allah at the Holy Waymark, and remember Him as He has guided you, though formerly you were gone astray. 195 Then press on from where the people press on, and pray for Allah’s forgiveness; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. And when you have performed your holy rites remember Allah, as you remember your fathers or yet more devoutly. Now some men there are who say, ‘Our Lord, give to us in this world’; such men shall have no part in the world to come. And others there are who say, ‘Our Lord, give to us in this world good, and good in the world to come, and guard us against the chastisement of the fire’; those — they shall have a portion from what they have earned; and Allah is swift at the reckoning. And remember Allah during certain days numbered. If any man hastens on in two days, that is no sin in him; and if any delays, it is not a sin in him, if he be Allahfearing. And fear you Allah, and know that unto Him you shall be mustered. 200 And some men there are whose saying upon the present world pleases thee, and such a one calls on Allah to witness what is in his heart, yet he is most stubborn in altercation, and when he turns his back, he hastens about the earth, to do corruption there and to destroy the tillage and the stock; and Allah loves not corruption; and when it is said to him, ‘Fear Allah’, vainglory seizes him in his sin. So Gehenna shall be enough for him — how evil a cradling! But other men there are that sell themselves desiring Allah’s good pleasure; and Allah is gentle with His servants. O believers, enter the peace, all of you, and follow not the steps of Satan; 205 he is a manifest foe to you. But if you slip, after the clear signs have come to you, know then that Allah is All-mighty, All-wise. What do they look for, but that Allah shall come to them in the cloud — shadows, and the angels? The matter is determined, and unto Allah all matters are returned. Ask the Children of Israel how many a clear sign We gave them. Whoso changes Allah’s blessing after it has come to him, Allah is terrible in retribution. Decked out fair to the unbelievers is the present life, and they deride the believers; but those who were Allahfearing shall be above them on the Resurrection Day; and Allah provides whomsoever He will without reckoning. The people were one nation; then Allah sent forth the Prophets, good tidings to bear and warning, and He sent down with them the Book with the truth, that He might decide between the people touching their differences; and only those who had been given it were at variance upon it, after the clear signs had come to them, being insolent one to another; then Allah guided those who believed to the truth, touching which they were at variance, by His leave; and Allah guides whomsoever He will to a straight path. 210 Or did you suppose you should enter Paradise without there had come upon you the like of those who passed away before you? They were afflicted by misery and hardship and were so convulsed, that the Messenger and those who believed with him said, ‘When comes Allah’s help?’ Ah, but surely Allah’s help is nigh. They will question thee concerning what they should expend. Say: ‘Whatsoever good you expend is for parents and kinsmen, orphans, the needy, and the traveller; and whatever good you may do, Allah has knowledge of it.’ Prescribed for you is fighting, though it be hateful to you. Yet it may happen that you will hate a thing which is better for you; and it may happen that you will love a thing which is worse for you; Allah knows, and you know not. They will question thee concerning the holy month, and fighting in it. Say: ‘Fighting in it is a heinous thing, but to bar from Allah’s way, and disbelief in Him, and the Holy Mosque, and to expel its people from it — that is more heinous in Allah’s sight; and persecution is more heinous than slaying.’ They will not cease to fight with you, till they turn you from your religion, if they are able; and whosoever of you turns from his religion, and dies disbelieving — their works have failed in this world and the next; those are the inhabitants of the Fire; therein they shall dwell forever. 215 But the believers, and those who emigrate and struggle in Allah’s way — those have hope of Allah’s compassion; and Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. They will question thee concerning wine, and arrow-shuffling. Say: ‘In both is heinous sin; and uses for men, but the sin in them is more heinous than the usefulness.’ They will question thee concerning what they should expend. Say: ‘The abundance.’ So Allah makes clear His signs to you; haply you will reflect; in this world, and the world to come. They will question thee concerning the orphans. Say: ‘To set their affairs aright is good. And if you intermix with them, they are your brothers. Allah knows well him who works corruption from him who sets aright; and had He willed He would have harassed you. Surely Allah is All-mighty, All-wise.’ 220 Do not marry idolatresses, until they believe; a believing slavegirl is better than an idolatress, though you may admire her. And do not marry idolaters, until they believe. A believing slave is better than an idolater, though you may admire him. Those call unto the Fire; and Allah calls unto Paradise, and pardon, by His leave, and He makes clear His signs to the people; haply they will remember. They will question thee concerning the monthly course. Say: ‘It is hurt; so go apart from women during the monthly course, and do not approach them till they are clean. When they have cleansed themselves, then come unto them as Allah has commanded you.’ Truly, Allah loves those who repent, and He loves those who cleanse themselves. Your women are a tillage for you; so come unto your tillage as you wish, and forward for your souls; and fear Allah, and know that you shall meet Him. Give thou good tidings to the believers. Do not make Allah a hindrance, through your oaths, to being pious and Allahfearing, and putting things right between men. Surely Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing. 225 Allah will not take you to task for a slip in your oaths; but He will take you to task for what your hearts have earned; and Allah is All-forgiving, All-clement. For those who forswear their women a wait of four months; if they revert, Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate; but if they resolve on divorce, surely Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing. Divorced women shall wait by themselves for three periods; and it is not lawful for them to hide what Allah has created in their wombs; if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. In such time their mates have better right to restore them, if they desire to set things right. Women have such honourable rights as obligations, but their men have a degree above them; Allah is All-mighty, All-wise. Divorce is twice; then honourable retention or setting free kindly. It is not lawful for you to take of what you have given them unless the couple fear they may not maintain Allah’s bounds; if you fear they may not maintain Allah’s bounds, it is no fault in them for her to redeem herself. Those are Allah’s bounds; do not transgress them. Whosoever transgresses the bounds of Allah — those are the evildoers. 230 If he divorces her finally, she shall not be lawful to him after that, until she marries another husband. If he divorces her, then it is no fault in them to return to each other, if they suppose that they will maintain Allah’s bounds. Those are Allah’s bounds; He makes them clear unto a people that have knowledge. When you divorce women, and they have reached their term, then retain them honourably or set them free honourably; do not retain them by force, to transgress; whoever does that has wronged himself. Take not Allah’s signs in mockery, and remember Allah’s blessing upon you, and the Book and the Wisdom He has sent down on you, to admonish you. And fear Allah, and know that Allah has knowledge of everything. When you divorce women, and they have reached their term, do not debar them from marrying their husbands, when they have agreed together honourably. That is an admonition for whoso of you believes in Allah and the Last Day; that is cleaner and purer for you; Allah knows, and you know not. Mothers shall suckle their children two years completely, for such as desire to fulfil the suckling. It is for the father to provide them and clothe them honourably. No soul is charged save to its capacity; a mother shall not be pressed for her child, neither a father for his child. The heir has a like duty. But if the couple desire by mutual consent and consultation to wean, then it is no fault in them. And if you desire to seek nursing for your children, it is no fault in you provide you hand over what you have given honourably; and fear Allah, and know that Allah sees the things you do. And those of you who die, leaving wives, they shall wait by themselves for four months and ten nights; when they have reached their term then it is no fault in you what they may do with themselves honourably. Allah is aware of the things you do. There is no fault in you touching the proposal to women you offer, or hide in your hearts; Allah knows that you will be mindful of them; but do not make troth with them secretly without you speak honourable words. And do not resolve on the knot of marriage until the book has reached its term; and know that Allah knows what is in your hearts, so be fearful of Him; and know that Allah is All-forgiving, All-clement. 235 There is no fault in you, if you divorce women while as yet you have not touched them nor appointed any marriage-portion for them; yet make provision for them, the affluent man according to his means, and according to his means the needy man, honourably — an obligation on the good-doers. And if you divorce them before you have touched them, and you have already appointed for them a marriage-portion, then one-half of what you have appointed, unless it be they make remission, or he makes remission in whose hand is the knot of marriage; yet that you should remit is nearer to Allahfearing. Forget not to be bountiful one towards another. Surely Allah sees the things you do. Be you watchful over the prayers, and the middle prayer; and do you stand obedient to Allah. 240 And if you are in fear, then afoot or mounted; but when you are secure, then remember Allah, as He taught you the things that you knew not. And those of you who die, leaving wives, let them make testament for their wives, provision for a year without expulsion; but if they go forth, there is no fault in you what they may do with themselves honourably; Allah is All-mighty, All-wise. There shall be for divorced women provision honourable — an obligation on the Allahfearing. So Allah makes clear His signs for you; haply you will understand. Hast thou not regarded those who went forth from their habitations in their thousands fearful of death? Allah said to them, ‘Die!’ Then He gave them life. Truly Allah is bounteous to the people, but most of the people are not thankful. 245 So fight in Allah’s way, and know that Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing. Who is he that will lend Allah a good loan, and He will multiply it for him manifold? Allah grasps, and outspreads; and unto Him you shall be returned. Hast thou not regarded the Council of the Children of Israel, after Moses, when they said to a Prophet of theirs, ‘Raise up for us a king, and we will fight in Allah’s way.’ He said, ‘Might it be that, if fighting is prescribed for you, you will not fight?’ They said, ‘Why should we not fight in Allah’s way, who have been expelled from our habitations and our children?’ Yet when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned their backs except a few of them; and Allah has knowledge of the evildoers. Then their Prophet said to them, ‘Verily Allah has raised up Saul for you as king.’ They said, ‘How should he be king over us who have better right than he to kingship, seeing he has not been given amplitude of wealth?’ He said, ‘Allah has chosen him over you, and has increased him broadly in knowledge and body. Allah gives the kingship to whom He will; and Allah is All-embracing, All-knowing.’ And their Prophet said to them, ‘The sign of his kingship is that the Ark will come to you, in it a Shechina from your Lord, and a remnant of what the folk of Moses and Aaron’s folk left behind, the angels bearing it. Surely in that shall be a sign for you, if you are believers.’ 250 And when Saul went forth with the hosts he said, ‘Allah will try you with a river; whosoever drinks of it is not of me, and whoso tastes it not, he is of me, saving him who scoops up with his hand.’ But they drank of it, except a few of them; and when he crossed it, and those who believed with him, they said, ‘We have no power today against Goliath and his hosts.’ Said those who reckoned they should meet Allah, ‘How often a little company has overcome a numerous company, by Allah’s leave! And Allah is with the patient.’ So, when they went forth against Goliath And his hosts, they said, ‘Our Lord, pour out upon us patience, and make firm our feet, and give us aid against the people of the unbelievers!’ And they routed them, by the leave of Allah, and David slew Goliath; and Allah gave him the kingship, and Wisdom, and He taught him such as He willed. Had Allah not driven back the people, some by the means of others, the earth had surely corrupted; but Allah is bounteous unto all beings. These are the signs of Allah We recite to thee in truth, and assuredly thou art of the number of the Envoys. And those Messengers, some We have preferred above others; some there are to whom Allah spoke, and some He raised in rank. And We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear signs, and confirmed him with the Holy Spirit. And had Allah willed, those who came after him would not have fought one against the other after the clear signs had come to them; but they fell into variance, and some of them believed, and some disbelieved; and had Allah willed they would not have fought one against the other; but Allah does whatsoever He desires. 255 O believers, expend of that wherewith We have provided you, before there comes a day wherein shall be neither traffick, nor friendship, nor intercession; and the unbelievers — they are the evildoers. Allah there is no Allah but He, the Living, the Everlasting. Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him save by His leave? He knows what lies before them and what is after them, and they comprehend not anything of His knowledge save such as He wills. His Throne comprises the heavens and earth; the preserving of them oppresses Him not; He is the All-high, the All-glorious. No compulsion is there in religion. Rectitude has become clear from error. So whosoever disbelieves in idols and believes in Allah, has laid hold of the most firm handle, unbreaking; Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing. Allah is the Protector of the believers; He brings them forth from the shadows into the light. And the unbelievers — their protectors are idols, that bring them forth from the light into the shadows; those are the inhabitants of the Fire, therein dwelling forever. 260 Hast thou not regarded him who disputed with Abraham, concerning his Lord, that Allah had given him the kingship? When Abraham said, ‘My Lord is He who gives life, and makes to die,’ he said, ‘I give life, and make to die.’ Said Abraham, ‘Allah brings the sun from the east; so bring thou it from the west.’ Then the unbeliever was confounded. Allah guides not the people of the evildoers. Or such as he who passed by a city that was fallen down upon its turrets; he said, ‘How shall Allah give life to this now it is dead?’ So Allah made him die a hundred years, then He raised him up, saying, ‘How long hast thou tarried?’ He said, ‘I have tarried a day, or part of a day.’ Said He, ‘Nay; thou hast tarried a hundred years. Look at thy food and drink — it has not spoiled; and look at thy ass. So We would make thee a sign for the people. And look at the bones; how We shall set them up, and then clothe them with flesh.’ So, when it was made clear to him, he said, ‘I know that Allah is powerful over everything.’ And when Abraham said, ‘My Lord, show me how Thou wilt give life to the dead,’ He said, ‘Why, dost thou not believe?’ ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘but that my heart may be at rest.’ Said He, ‘Take four birds, and twist them to thee, then set a part of them on every hill, then summon them, and they will come to thee running. And do thou know that Allah is All-mighty, All-wise.’ The likeness of those who expend their wealth in the way of Allah is as the likeness of a grain of corn that sprouts seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains. So Allah multiplies unto whom He will; Allah is All-embracing, All-knowing. Those who expend their wealth in the way of Allah then follow not up what they have expended with reproach and injury, their wage is with their Lord, and no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow. 265 Honourable words, and forgiveness, are better than a freewill offering followed by injury; and Allah is All-sufficient, All-clement. O believers, void not your freewill offerings with reproach and injury, as one who expends of his substance to show off to men and believes not in Allah and the Last Day. The likeness of him is as the likeness of a smooth rock on which is soil, and a torrent smites it, and leaves it barren. They have no power over anything that they have earned. Allah guides not the people of the unbelievers. But the likeness of those who expend their wealth, seeking Allah’s good pleasure, and to confirm themselves, is as the likeness of a garden upon a hill; a torrent smites it and it yields its produce twofold; if no torrent smites it, yet dew; and Allah sees the things you do. Would any of you wish to have a garden of palms and vines, with rivers flowing beneath it, and all manner of fruit there for him, then old age smites him, and he has seed, but weaklings, then a whirlwind with fire smites it, and it is consumed? So Allah makes clear the signs to you; haply you will reflect. O believers, expend of the good things you have earned, and of that We have produced for you from the earth, and intend not the corrupt of it for your expending; 270 for you would never take it yourselves, except you closed an eye on it; and know that Allah is All-sufficient, All-laudable. Satan promises you poverty, and bids you unto indecency; but Allah promises you His pardon and His bounty; and Allah is All-embracing, All-knowing. He gives the Wisdom to whomsoever He will, and whoso is given the Wisdom, has been given much good; yet none remembers but men possessed of minds. And whatever expenditure you expend, and whatever vow you vow, surely Allah knows it. No helpers have the evildoers. If you publish your freewill offerings, it is excellent; but if you conceal them, and give them to the poor, that is better for you, and will acquit you of your evil deeds; Allah is aware of the things you do. Thou art not responsible for guiding them; but Allah guides whomsoever He will. And whatever good you expend is for yourselves, for then you are expending, being desirous only of Allah’s Face; and whatever good you expend shall be repaid to you in full, and you will not be wronged, it being for the poor who are restrained in the way of Allah, and are unable to journey in the land; the ignorant man supposes them rich because of their abstinence, but thou shalt know them by their mark — they do not beg of men importunately. And whatever good you expend, surely Allah has knowledge of it. 275 Those who expend their wealth night and day, secretly and in public, their wage awaits them with their Lord, and no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow. Those who devour usury shall not rise again except as he rises, whom Satan of the touch prostrates; that is because they say, ‘Trafficking (trade) is like usury.’ Allah has permitted trafficking, and forbidden usury. Whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and gives over, he shall have his past gains, and his affair is committed to Allah; but whosoever reverts — those are the inhabitants of the Fire, therein dwelling forever. Allah blots out usury, but freewill offerings He augments with interest. Allah loves not any guilty ingrate. Those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms — their wage awaits them with their Lord, and no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow. O believers, fear you Allah; and give up the usury that is outstanding, if you are believers. But if you do not, then take notice that Allah shall war with you, and His Messenger; yet if you repent, you shall have your principal, unwronging and unwronged. 280 And if any man should be in difficulties, let him have respite till things are easier; but that you should give freewill offerings is better for you, did you but know. And fear a day wherein you shall be returned to Allah, and every soul shall be paid in full what it has earned; and they shall not be wronged. O believers, when you contract a debt one upon another for a stated term, write it down, and let a writer write it down between you justly, and let not any writer refuse to write it down, as Allah has taught him; so let him write, and let the debtor dictate, and let him fear Allah his Lord and not diminish aught of it. And if the debtor be a fool, or weak, or unable to dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate justly. And call in to witness two witnesses, men; or if the two be not men, then one man and two women, such witnesses as you approve of, that if one of the two women errs the other will remind her; and let the witnesses not refuse, whenever they are summoned. And be not loth to write it down, whether it be small or great, with its term; that is more equitable in Allah’s sight, more upright for testimony, and likelier that you will not be in doubt. Unless it be merchandise present that you give and take between you; then it shall be no fault in you if you do not write it down. And take witnesses when you are trafficking one with another. And let not either writer or witness be pressed; or if you do, that is unAllahliness in you. And fear Allah; Allah teaches you, and Allah has knowledge of everything. And if you are upon a journey, and you do not find a writer, then a pledge in hand. But if one of you trusts another, let him who is trusted deliver his trust, and let him fear Allah his Lord. And do not conceal the testimony; whoso conceals it, his heart is sinful; and Allah has knowledge of the things you do. To Allah belongs all that is in the heavers and earth. Whether you publish what is in your hearts or hide it, Allah shall make reckoning with you for it. He will forgive whom He will, and chastise whom He will; Allah is powerful over everything. 285 The Messenger believes in what was sent down to him from his Lord, and the believers; each one believes in Allah and His angels, and in His Books and His Messengers; we make no division between any one of His Messengers. They say, ‘We hear, and obey. Our Lord, grant us Thy forgiveness; unto Thee is the homecoming.’ Allah charges no soul save to its capacity; standing to its account is what it has earned, and against its account what it has merited. Our Lord, take us not to task if we forget, or make mistake. Our Lord; charge us not with a load such as Thou didst lay upon those before us. Our Lord, do Thou not burden us beyond what we have the strength to bear. And pardon us, and forgive us, and have mercy on us; Thou art our Protector. And help us against the people of the unbelievers. III THE HOUSE OF IMRAN In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate 3:1 Alif Lam Mim Allah, there is none worthy of worship but He, the Living, the Everlasting. He has sent down upon thee the Book with the truth, confirming what was before it, and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel aforetime, as guidance to the people, and He sent down the Salvation. As for those who disbelieve in The Almighty’s signs, for them awaits a terrible chastisement; The Lord is All-mighty, Vengeful. From Allah nothing whatever is hidden in heaven and earth. It is He who forms you in the womb as He will. There is none worthy of worship but He, the All-mighty, the All-wise. 3:5 It is He who sent down upon thee the Book, wherein are verses clear that are the Essence of the Book, and others ambiguous. As for those in whose hearts is swerving, they follow the ambiguous part, desiring dissension, and desiring its interpretation; and none knows its interpretation, save only Allah. And those firmly rooted in knowledge say, ‘We believe in it; all is from our Lord’; yet none remembers, but men possessed of minds. Our Lord, make not our hearts to swerve after that Thou hast guided us; and give us mercy from Thee; Thou art the Giver. Our Lord, it is Thou that shall gather mankind for a day whereon is no doubt; verily Allah will not fail the tryst. As for the unbelievers, their riches will not avail them, neither their children, aught against Allah; those — they shall be fuel for the Fire like Pharaoh’s folk, and the people before them, who cried lies to Our signs; Allah seized them because of their sins; Allah is terrible in retribution. 3:10 Say to the unbelievers: ‘You shall be overthrown, and mustered into Gehenna — an evil cradling!’ There has already been a sign for you in the two companies that encountered, one company fighting in the way of Allah and another unbelieving; they saw them twice the like of them, as the eye sees, but Allah confirms with His help whom He will. Surely in that is a lesson for men possessed of eyes. Decked out fair to men is the love of lusts — women, children, heaped-up heaps of gold and silver, horses of mark, cattle and tillage. That is the enjoyment of the present life; but Allah — with Him is the fairest resort. Say: ‘Shall I tell you of a better than that?’ For those that are fearing Allah, with their Lord are gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein dwelling forever, and spouses purified, and Allah’s good pleasure. And Allah sees His servants who say, ‘Our Lord, we believe; forgive us our sins, and guard us against the chastisement of the Fire’ – 3:15 men who are patient, truthful, obedient, expenders in alms, imploring Allah’s pardon at the daybreak. Allah bears witness that there is none worthy of worship but He — and the angels, and men possessed of knowledge — upholding justice; there is none worthy of worship but He, the All-mighty, the All-wise. The true religion with Allah is Islaam. Those who were given the Book were not at variance except after the knowledge came to them, being insolent one to another. And whoso disbelieves in Allah’s signs. Allah is swift at the reckoning. So if they dispute with thee, say: ‘I have surrendered my will to Allah, and whosoever follows me. And say to those who have been given the Book and to the common folk: ‘Have you surrendered?’ If they have surrendered, they are right guided; but if they turn their backs, thine it is only to deliver the Message; and Allah sees His servants. 3:20 Those who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and slay the Prophets without right, and slay such men as bid to justice — do thou give them the good tidings of a painful chastisement; their works have failed in this world and the next; they have no helpers. Hast thou not regarded those who were given a portion of the Book, being called to the Book of Allah, that it might decide between them, and then a party of them turned away, swerving aside? That, because they said, ‘The Fire shall not touch us, except for a number of days’; and the lies they forged has deluded them in their religion. But how will it be, when We gather them for a day whereon is no doubt, and every soul shall be paid in full what it has earned, and they shall not be wronged? 3:25 Say: ‘O Allah, Master of the Kingdom, Thou givest the Kingdom to whom Thou wilt, and seizest the Kingdom from whom Thou wilt, Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt, and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt; in Thy hand is the good; Thou art powerful over everything. Thou makest the night to enter into the day and Thou makest the day to enter into the night, Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living, and Thou providest whomsoever Thou wilt without reckoning. Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends, rather than the believers — for whoso does that belongs not to Allah in anything — unless you have a fear of them. Allah warns you that you beware of Him, and unto Allah is the homecoming. Say: ‘Whether you hide what is in your breasts or publish it, Allah knows it. Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth; and Allah is powerful over everything.’ The day every soul shall find what it has done of good brought forward, and what it has done of evil; it will wish if there were only a far space between it and that day. Allah warns you that you beware of Him; and Allah is gentle with His servants. Say: ‘If you love Allah, follow me, and Allah will love you, and forgive you your sins; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.’ Say: ‘Obey Allah, and the Messenger.’ But if they turn their backs, Allah loves not the unbelievers. 3:30 Allah chose Adam and Noah and the House of Abraham and the House of Imran above all beings, the seed of one another; Allah hears, and knows.When the wife of Imran said, ‘Lord, I have vowed to Thee, in dedication, what is within my womb. Receive Thou this from me; Thou hearest, and knowest.’ And when she gave birth to her she said, ‘Lord, I have given birth to her, a female.’ (And Allah knew very well what she had given birth to; the male is not as the female.) ‘And I have named her Mary, and commend her to Thee with her seed, to protect them from the accursed Satan.’ Her Lord received the child with gracious favour, and by His goodness she grew up comely, Zachariah taking charge of her. Whenever Zachariah went in to her in the Sanctuary, he found her provisioned. ‘Mary,’ he said, ‘how comes this to thee?’ ‘From Allah,’ she said. Truly Allah provisions whomsoever He will without reckoning. Then Zachariah prayed to his Lord saying, ‘Lord, give me of Thy goodness a goodly offspring. Yea, Thou hearest prayer.’ And the angels called to him, standing in the Sanctuary at worship, ‘Lo, Allah gives thee good tidings of John, who shall confirm a Word of Allah, a chief, and chaste, a Prophet, righteous.’ 3:35 ‘Lord,’ said Zachariah, ‘how shall I have a son, seeing I am an old man and my wife is barren?’ ‘Even so,’ Allah said, ‘Allah does what He will.’ ‘Lord,’ said Zachariah, ‘appoint to me a sign.’ ‘Thy sign,’ Allah said, ‘is that thou shalt not speak, save by tokens, to men for three days. And mention thy Lord oft, and give glory at evening and dawn.’ 3:40 And when the angels said, ‘Mary, Allah has chosen thee, and purified thee; He has chosen thee above all women. Mary; be obedient to thy Lord, prostrating and bowing before Him.’ (That is of the tidings of the Unseen, that We reveal to thee; for thou wast not with them, when they were casting quills which of them should have charge of Mary; thou wast not with them, when they were disputing.) When the angels said, ‘Mary, Allah gives thee good tidings of a Word from Him whose name is Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary; high honoured shall he be in this world and the next, near stationed to Allah. He shall speak to men in the cradle, and of age, and righteous he shall be.’ ‘Lord,’ said Mary, ‘how shall I have a son seeing no mortal has touched me?’ ‘Even so,’ Allah said, Allah creates what He will. When He decrees a thing He does but say to it “Be,” and it is. And He will teach him the Book, the Wisdom, the Torah, the Gospel, to be a Messenger to the Children of Israel saying, “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I will create for you out of clay as the likeness of a bird; then I will breathe into it, and it will be a bird, by the leave of Allah. I will also heal the blind and the leper, and bring to life the dead, by the leave of Allah. I will inform you too of what things you eat, and what you treasure up in your houses. Surely in that is a sign for you, if you are believers. Likewise confirming the truth of the Torah that is before me, and to make lawful to you certain things that before were forbidden unto you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear you Allah, and obey you me. Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord; so serve Him. This is a straight path”.’ 3:45 And when Jesus perceived their unbelief, he said, ‘Who will be my helpers unto Allah?’ The Apostles said, ‘We will be helpers of Allah; we believe in Allah; witness thou our submission. Lord, we believe in that Thou hast sent down, and we follow the Messenger. Inscribe us therefore with those who bear witness.’ And they devised, and Allah devised, and Allah is the best of devisers. When Allah said, ‘Jesus, I will take thee to Me and will raise thee to Me and I will purify thee of those who believe not. I will set thy followers above the unbelievers till the Resurrection Day. Then unto Me shall you return, and I will decide between you, as to what you were at variance on. As for the unbelievers, I will chastise them with a terrible chastisement in this world and the next; they shall have no helpers.’ 3:50 But as for the believers, who do deeds of righteousness, He will pay them in full their wages: and Allah loves not the evildoers. This We recite to thee of signs and wise remembrance. Truly, the likeness of Jesus, in Allah’s sight, is as Adam’s likeness; He created him of dust, then said He unto him, ‘Be,’ and he was. The truth is of Allah; be not of the doubters. And whoso disputes with thee concerning him, after the knowledge that has come to thee, say: ‘Come now, let us call our sons and your sons, our wives and your wives, our selves and your selves, then let us humbly pray and so lay Allah’s curse upon the ones who lie.’ 3:55 This is the true story. There is no Allah but Allah, and assuredly Allah is the All-mighty, the All-wise. And if they turn their backs, assuredly Allah knows the workers of corruption. Say: ‘People of the Book! Come now to a word common between us and you, that we serve none but Allah, and that we associate not aught with Him, and do not some of us take others as Lords, apart from Allah.’ And if they turn their backs, say: ‘Bear witness that we are Muslims.’ People of the Book! Why do you dispute concerning Abraham? The Torah was not sent down, neither the Gospel, but after him. What, have you no reason? Ha, you are the ones who dispute on what you know; why then dispute you touching a matter of which you know not anything? Allah knows, and you know not. 3:60 No; Abraham in truth was not a Jew, neither a Christian; but he was a Muslim and one pure of faith; certainly he was never of the idolaters. Surely the people standing closest to Abraham are those who followed him, and this Prophet, and those who believe; and Allah is the Protector of the believers. There is a party of the People of the Book yearn to make you go astray; yet none they make to stray, except themselves, but they are not aware. People of the Book! Why do you disbelieve in Allah’s signs, which you yourselves witness? People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with vanity, and conceal the truth and that wittingly? 3:65 There is a party of the People of the Book say, ‘Believe in what has been sent down upon those who believe at the beginning of the day, and disbelieve at the end of it; haply they will then return; and believe not any but him who follows your religion.’ Say: ‘The true guidance is Allah’s guidance — that anyone should be given the like of what you have been given, or dispute with you before your Lord.’ Say: ‘Surely bounty is in the hand of Allah; He gives it unto whomsoever He will; and Allah is All-embracing, All-knowing. ‘He singles out for His mercy whom He will; Allah is of bounty abounding.’ And of the People of the Book is he who, if thou trust him with a hundredweight, will restore it thee; and of them is he who, if thou trust him with one pound, will not restore it thee, unless ever thou standest over him. That, because they say, ‘There is no way over us as to the common people.’ They speak falsehood against Allah and that wittingly. 3:70 Nay, but whoso fulfils his covenant and fears Allah, Allah loves the Allahfearing. Those that sell Allah’s covenant, and their oaths, for a little price, there shall be no share for them in the world to come; Allah shall not speak to them neither look on them on the Resurrection Day, neither will He purify them; and for them awaits a painful chastisement. And there is a sect of them twist their tongues with the Book, that you may suppose it part of the Book, yet it is not part of the Book; and they say, ‘It is from Allah,’ yet it is not from Allah, and they speak falsehood against Allah, and that wittingly. It belongs not to any mortal that Allah should give him the Book, the Judgment, the Prophethood, then he should say to men, ‘Be you servants to me apart from Allah.’ Rather, ‘Be you masters in that you know the Book, and in that you study.’ He would never order you to take the angels and the Prophets as Lords; what, would He order you to disbelieve, after you have surrendered? 3:75 And when Allah took compact with the Prophets: ‘That I have given you of Book and Wisdom; then there shall come to you a Messenger confirming what is with you — you shall believe in him and you shall help him; do you agree?’ He said. ‘And do you take My load on you on that condition?’ They said, ‘We do agree.’ Allah said, ‘Bear witness so, and I shall be with you among the witnesses.’ Then whosoever turns his back after that — they are the unAllahly. What, do they desire another religion than Allah’s, and to Him has surrendered whoso is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they shall be returned? Say: ‘We believe in Allah, and that which has been sent down on us, and sent down on Abraham and Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob, and the Tribes, and in that which was given to Moses and Jesus, and the Prophets, of their Lord; we make no division between any of them, and to Him we surrender.’ Whoso desires another religion than Islam, it shall not be accepted of him; in the next world he shall be among the losers. 3:80 How shall Allah guide a people who have disbelieved after they believed, and bore witness that the Messenger is true, and the clear signs came to them? Allah guides not the people of the evildoers. Those — their recompense is that there shall rest on them the curse of Allah and of the angels and of men, altogether, therein dwelling forever; the chastisement shall not be lightened for them; no respite shall be given them. But those who repent thereafter, and make amends — Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Surely those who disbelieve after they have believed and then increase in unbelief — their repentance shall not be accepted; those are the ones who stray. 3:85 Surely those who disbelieve, and die disbelieving, there shall not be accepted from any one of them the whole earth full of gold, if he would ransom himself thereby; for them awaits a painful chastisement, and they shall have no helpers. You will not attain piety until you expend of what you love; and whatever thing you expend, Allah knows of it. All food was lawful to the Children of Israel save what Israel forbade for himself before the Torah was sent down. Say: ‘Bring you the Torah now, and recite it, if you are truthful.’ Whoso forges falsehood against Allah after that, those are the evildoers.Say: ‘Allah has spoken the truth; therefore follow the creed of Abraham, a man of pure faith and no idolater.’ 3:90 The first House established for the people was that at Bekka, a place holy, and a guidance to all beings. Therein are clear signs — the station of Abraham, and whosoever enters it is in security. It is the duty of all men towards Allah to come to the House a pilgrim, if he is able to make his way there. As for the unbeliever, Allah is All-sufficient nor needs any being. Say: ‘People of the Book, why do you disbelieve in the signs of Allah? Surely Allah is witness of the things you do.’ Say: ‘People of the Book, why do you bar from Allah’s way the believer, desiring to make it crooked, yourselves being witnesses? Allah is not heedless of the things you do.’ 3:95 O believers, if you obey a sect of those who have been given the Book, they will turn you, after you have believed, into unbelievers. How can you disbelieve, seeing you have Allah’s signs recited to you, and His Messenger among you? Whosoever holds fast to Allah, he is guided to a straight path. O believers, fear Allah as He should be feared, and see you do not die, save in surrender. And hold you fast to Allah’s bond, together, and do not scatter; remember Allah’s blessing upon you when you were enemies, and He brought your hearts together, so that by His blessing you became brothers. You were upon the brink of a pit of Fire, and He delivered you from it; even so Allah makes clear to you His signs; so haply you will be guided. 3:100 Let there be one nation of you, calling to good, and bidding to honour, and forbidding dishonour; those are the prosperers. Be not as those who scattered and fell into variance after the clear signs came to them; those there awaits a mighty chastisement, the day when some faces are blackened, and some faces whitened. As for those whose faces are blackened –’Did you disbelieve after you had believed? Then taste the chastisement for that you disbelieved!’ But as for those whose faces are whitened, they shall be in Allah’s mercy, therein dwelling forever. These are the signs of Allah We recite to thee in truth, and Allah desires not any injustice to living beings. 3:105 To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, and unto Him all matters are returned. You are the best nation ever brought forth to men, bidding to honour, and forbidding dishonour, and believing in Allah. Had the People of the Book believed, it were better for them; some of them are believers, but the most of them are unAllahly. They will not harm you, except a little hurt; and if they fight with you, they will turn on you their backs; then they will not be helped. Abasement shall be pitched on them, wherever they are come upon, except they be in a bond of Allah, and a bond of the people; they will be laden with the burden of Allah’s anger, and poverty shall be pitched on them; that, because they disbelieved in Allah’s signs, and slew the Prophets without right; that, for that they acted rebelliously and were transgressors. Yet they are not all alike; some of the People of the Book are a nation upstanding, that recite Allah’s signs in the watches of the night, bowing themselves, 3:110 believing in Allah and in the Last Day, bidding to honour and forbidding dishonour, vying one with the other in good works; those are of the righteous. And whatsoever good you do, you shall not be denied the just reward of it; and Allah knows the Allahfearing. As for the unbelievers, their riches shall not avail them, neither their children, against Allah; those are the inhabitants of the Fire, therein dwelling forever. The likeness of that they expend in this present life is as the likeness of a freezing blast that smites the tillage of a people who wronged themselves, and it destroyed that; Allah wronged them not, but themselves they wronged. O believers, take not for your intimates outside yourselves such men spare nothing to ruin you; they yearn for you to suffer. Hatred has already shown itself of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is yet greater. Now We have made clear to you the signs, if you understand. 3:115 Ha, there you are; you love them, and they love you not; you believe in the Book, all of it, and when they meet you they say, ‘We believe,’ but when they go privily, they bite at you their fingers, enraged. Say: ‘Die in your rage; Allah knows the thoughts in the breasts.’ If you are visited by good fortune, it vexes them; but if you are smitten by evil, they rejoice at it. Yet if you are patient and Allahfearing, their guile will hurt you nothing; Allah encompasses the things they do. When thou wentest forth at dawn from thy people to lodge the believers in their pitches for the battle — Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing — when two parties of you were about to lose heart, though Allah was their Protector — and in Allah let the believers put all their trust — and Allah most surely helped you at Badr, when you were utterly abject. So fear Allah, and haply you will be thankful. 3:120 When thou saidst to the believers, ‘Is it not enough for you that your Lord should reinforce you with three thousand angels sent down upon you? Yea; if you are patient and Allahfearing, and the foe come against you instantly, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand swooping angels.’ Allah wrought this not, save as good tiding to you, and that your hearts might be at rest; help comes only from Allah the All-mighty, the All-wise; and that He might cut off a part of the unbelievers or frustrate them, so that they turned in their tracks, disappointed. No part of the matter is thine, whether He turns towards them again, or chastises them; for they are evildoers. To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and earth; He forgives whom He will, and chastises whom He will; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. 3:125 O believers, devour not usury, doubled and redoubled, and fear you Allah; haply so you will prosper. And fear the Fire prepared for the unbelievers, and obey Allah and the Messenger; haply so you will find mercy. And vie with one another, hastening to forgiveness from your Lord, and to a garden whose breadth is as the heavens and earth, prepared for the Allahfearing who expend in prosperity and adversity in almsgiving, and restrain their rage, and pardon the offences of their fellowmen; and Allah loves the good-doers; who, when they commit an indecency or wrong themselves, remember Allah, and pray forgiveness for their sins — and who shall forgive sins but Allah? — and do not persevere in the things they did and that wittingly. 3:130 Those — their recompense is forgiveness from their Lord, and gardens beneath which rivers flow, therein dwelling forever; and how excellent is the wage of those who labour! Divers institutions have passed away before you; journey in the land, and behold how was the end of those that cried lies. This is an exposition for mankind, and a guidance, and an admonition for such as are Allahfearing. Faint not, neither sorrow; you shall be the upper ones if you are believers. If a wound touches you, a like wound already has touched the heathen; such days We deal out in turn among men, and that Allah may know who are the believers, and that He may take witnesses from among you; and Allah loves not the evildoers; 3:135 and that Allah may prove the believers, and blot out the unbelievers. Or did you suppose you should enter Paradise without Allah know who of you have struggled and who are patient? You were longing for death before you met it; now you have seen it, while you were beholding. Muhammad is naught but a Messenger; Messengers have passed away before him. Why, if he should die or is slain, will you turn about on your heels? If any man should turn about on his heels, he will not harm Allah in any way; and Allah will recompense the thankful. It is not given to any soul to die, save by the leave of Allah, at an appointed time. Whoso desires the reward of this world, We will give him of this; and whoso desires the reward of the other world, We will give him of that; and We will recompense the thankful. 3:140 Many a Prophet there has been, with whom thousands manifold have fought, and they fainted not for what smote them in Allah’s way, neither weakened, nor did they humble themselves; and Allah loves the patient. Nothing else they said but, ‘Lord, forgive us our sins, and that we exceeded in our affair, and make firm our feet, and help us against the people of the unbelievers.’ And Allah gave them the reward of this world and the fairest reward of the world to come; and Allah loves the good-doers. O believers, if you obey the unbelievers they will turn you upon your heels, and you will turn about, losers. No; but Allah is your Protector, and He is the best of helpers. We will cast into the hearts of the unbelievers terror, for that they have associated with Allah that for which He sent down never authority; their lodging shall be the Fire; evil is the lodging of the evildoers. 3:145 Allah has been true in His promise towards you when you blasted them by His leave; until you lost heart, and quarrelled about the matter, and were rebellious, after He had shown you that you longed for. Some of you there are that desire this world, and some of you there are desire the next world. Then He turned you from them, that He might try you; and He has pardoned you; and Allah is bounteous to the believers. When you were going up, not twisting about for anyone, and the Messenger was calling you in your rear; so He rewarded you with grief on grief that you might not sorrow for what escaped you neither for what smote you; and Allah is aware of the things you do. Then He sent down upon you, after grief, security — a slumber overcoming a party of you; and a party themselves had grieved, thinking of Allah thoughts that were not true such as the pagans thought, saying, ‘Have we any part whatever in the affair?’ Say: ‘The affair belongs to Allah entirely.’ They were concealing in their hearts that they show not to thee, saying, ‘Ah, if we had had a part in the affair, never would we have been slain here.’ Say: ‘Even if you had been in your houses, those for whom slaying was appointed would have sallied forth unto their last couches’; and that Allah might try what was in your breasts, and that He might prove what was in your hearts; and Allah knows the thoughts in the breasts. Those of you who turned away the day the two hosts encountered — Satan made them slip for somewhat they had earned; but Allah has pardoned them; Allah is All-forgiving, All-clement. 3:150 O believers, be not as the unbelievers who say to their brothers, when they journey in the land, or are upon expeditions, ‘If they had been with us, they would not have died and not been slain’ — that Allah may make that an anguish in their hearts. For Allah gives life, and He makes to die; and Allah sees the things you do. If you are slain or die in Allah’s way, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are a better thing than that you amass; surely if you die or are slain, it is unto Allah you shall be mustered. It was by some mercy of Allah that thou wast gentle to them; hadst thou been harsh and hard of heart, they would have scattered from about thee. So pardon them, and pray forgiveness for them, and take counsel with them in the affair; and when thou art resolved, put thy trust in Allah; surely Allah loves those who put their trust. If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; but if He forsakes you, who then can help you after Him? Therefore in Allah let the believers put all their trust. 3:155 It is not for a Prophet to be fraudulent; whoso defrauds shall bring the fruits of his fraud on the Day of Resurrection; then every soul shall be paid in full what it has earned, and they shall not be wronged. What, is he who follows Allah’s good pleasure like him who is laden with the burden of Allah’s anger, whose refuge is Gehenna? An evil homecoming! They are in ranks with Allah; and Allah sees the things they do. Truly Allah was gracious to the believers when He raised up among them a Messenger from themselves, to recite to them His signs and to purify them, and to teach them the Book and the Wisdom, though before they were in manifest error. Why, when an affliction visited you, and you had visited twice over the like of it, did you say, ‘How is this?’ Say: ‘This is from your own selves; surely Allah is powerful over everything.’ 3:160 And what visited you, the day the two hosts encountered, was by Allah’s leave, and that He might know the believers; and that He might also know the hypocrites when it was said of them, ‘Come now, fight in the way of Allah, or repel!’ They said, ‘If only we knew how to fight, we would follow you.’ They that day were nearer to unbelief than to belief, saying with their mouths that which never was in their hearts; and Allah knows very well the things they hide; who said of their brothers (and they themselves held back), ‘Had they obeyed us, they would not have been slain.’ Say: ‘Then avert death from yourselves, if you speak truly.’ Count not those who were slain in Allah’s way as dead, but rather living with their Lord, by Him provided, rejoicing in the bounty that Allah has given them, and joyful in those who remain behind and have not joined them, because no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow, 3:165 joyful in blessing and bounty from Allah, and that Allah leaves not to waste the wage of the believers. And those who answered Allah and the Messenger after the wound had smitten them — to all those of them who did good and feared Allah, shall be a mighty wage; those to whom the people said, ‘The people have gathered against you, therefore fear them’, but it increased them in faith, and they said, ‘Allah is sufficient for us; an excellent Guardian is He.’ So they returned with blessing and bounty from Allah, untouched by evil; they followed the good pleasure of Allah; and Allah is of bounty abounding. That is Satan frightening his friends, therefore do not fear them; but fear you Me, if you are believers. 3:170 Let them not grieve thee that vie with one another in unbelief; they will nothing hurt Allah; Allah desires not to appoint for them a portion in the world to come, and there awaits them a mighty chastisement. Those who buy unbelief at the price of faith, they will nothing hurt Allah; and there awaits them a painful chastisement. And let not the unbelievers suppose that the indulgence We grant them is better for them; We grant them indulgence only that they may increase in sin; and there awaits them a humbling chastisement. Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which you are, till He shall distinguish the corrupt from the good, and Allah will not inform you of the Unseen; but Allah chooses out of His Messengers whom He will. Believe you then in Allah and His Messengers; and if you believe and are Allahfearing, there shall be for you a mighty wage. 3:175 But as for those who are niggardly with the bounty Allah has given them, let them not suppose it is better for them; nay, it is worse for them; that they were niggardly with they shall have hung about their necks on the Resurrection Day; and to Allah belongs the inheritance of the heavens and earth; and Allah is aware of the things you do. Allah has heard the saying of those who said, ‘Surely Allah is poor, and we are rich.’ We shall write down what they have said, and their slaying the Prophets without right, and We shall say, ‘Taste the chastisement of the burning — that, for what your hands have forwarded, and for that Allah is never unjust unto His servants.’ Those same men said, ‘Allah has made covenant with us, that we believe not any Messenger until he brings to us a sacrifice devoured by fire.’ 3:180 Say: ‘Messengers have come to you before me bearing clear signs, and that you spoke of; why therefore did you slay them, if you speak truly?’ But if they cry lies to thee, lies were cried to Messengers before thee, who came bearing clear signs, and the Psalms, and the Book Illuminating. Every soul shall taste of death; you shall surely be paid in full your wages on the Day of Resurrection. Whosoever is removed from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, shall win the triumph. The present life is but the joy of delusion. You shall surely be tried in your possessions and your selves, and you shall hear from those who were given the Book before you, and from those who are idolaters, much hurt; but if you are patient and Allahfearing — surely that is true constancy. And when Allah took compact with those who had been given the Book: ‘You shall make it clear unto the people, and not conceal it.’ But they rejected it behind their backs and sold it for a small price — how evil was that their selling! 3:185 Reckon not that those who rejoice in what they have brought, and love to be praised for what they have not done — do not reckon them secure from chastisement; for them awaits a painful chastisement. To Allah belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and of the earth; and Allah is powerful over everything. Surely in the creation of the heavens and earth and in the alternation of night and day there are signs for men possessed of minds who remember Allah, standing and sitting and on their sides, and reflect upon the creation of the heavens and the earth: ‘Our Lord, Thou hast not created this for vanity. Glory be to Thee! Guard us against the chastisement of the Fire. Our Lord, whomsoever Thou admittest into the Fire, Thou wilt have abased; and the evildoers shall have no helpers. 3:190 Our Lord, we have heard a caller calling us to belief, saying, “Believe you in your Lord!” And we believe. Our Lord, forgive Thou us our sins and acquit us of our evil deeds, and take us to Thee with the pious. Our Lord, give us what Thou hast promised us by Thy Messengers, and abase us not on the Day of Resurrection; Thou wilt not fail the tryst.’ And their Lord answers them: ‘I waste not the labour of any that labours among you, be you male or female — the one of you is as the other. And those who emigrated, and were expelled from their habitations, those who suffered hurt in My way, and fought, and were slain — them I shall surely acquit of their evil deeds, and I shall admit them to gardens underneath which rivers flow.’ 3:195 A reward from Allah! And Allah with Him is the fairest reward. Let it not delude thee, that the unbelievers go to and fro in the land; a little enjoyment, then their refuge is Gehenna — an evil cradling! But those who fear their Lord — for them shall be gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein dwelling forever — a hospitality Allah Himself offers; and that which is with Allah is better for the pious. And some there are of the People of the Book who believe in Allah, and what has been sent down unto you, and what has been sent down unto them, men humble to Allah, not selling the signs of Allah for a small price; those — their wage is with their Lord; Allah is swift at the reckoning. 3:200 O believers, be patient, and vie you in patience; be steadfast; fear Allah; haply so you will prosper.

Last comment for all… The True Religion is Clear and Easy to understand and it makes sense, has no conflicting beliefs. Look at the points as a human in your own mind does it make sense? Always ask yourself does it make sense? You should ask yourself this on your own comments and on others? The Almighty does not play games with His creation, The Almighty is very clear in His messages. Place all the answers on their own spot and look at it and ask yourself does this make sense?

 

 

Moses and Jesus Peace be upon them are Muslims!

Moses and Jesus Peace be upon them are Muslims!

The proof is in the 5 pillars of Islaam and in their beliefs, teachings and way of life.

Firstly I would have to bring you into the world of Islaam so you may find “understanding”

The definition of the word Muslim is (One who submits to the will of The Almighty Allah)

How to become a Muslim or How does one become a Muslim?

It’s very simple…

To become a Muslim you have to proclaim the following declaration of faith:

“I bear witness that there’s none worthy of Worship but Allah; And I bear witness that Mohammed is His final Messenger” or simply by saying: “There’s none worthy of Worship but Allah; And Mohammed is His final Messenger” One does not need an audience this can be done in private by yourself or in public should you wish to do so but most reverts to Islaam makes this declaration when they with other Muslims in a Masjid (Mosque) Declaring this with firm faith makes you a Muslim, your next step would be to live a Muslim life etc…

Back to the topic Moses and Jesus the son of Mary Peace be upon them are Muslims.

A Question you may ask: Would Moses and Jesus not have made the Muslim declaration of faith? The Answer is “Yes”

Just like all the Prophets from our Lord the Almighty Allah all of them came with the same message of Islaam which means “Total Submission to the will of The Almighty Allah”

All the Prophets called to one Lord The Almighty Allah, all of them knew about the last of the Prophets to come and they mentioned him.

Let us look at the evidence of this…

It is with no doubt that both Moses and Jesus Peace be upon them declared and testified that there’s none worthy of worship but Allah which clearly fulfils the first part of the declaration of faith to be a Muslim, both of them prayed to our Lord The Almighty Allah Only.

Now for the second part of the Muslim declaration of faith “Mohammed is the Final Messenger of Allah”

Let us first have a brief look at some background on the Final Prophet Mohammed Peace be upon him.

The Final Messenger of Allah is from the same family as Moses and Jesus peace be upon them, Mohammed (Pbuh) is from the Brethren of Moses and Jesus. The family of Moses, Jesus and Mohammed (Pbut) routs from the Prophet Abraham Peace be upon him. The Family of Abraham peace be upon him was united but during the time of Moses they split into two nations (The Israelites and the Brother Israelites i.e. The Ishmaelites) which formed twelve groups. The two nations which the family had split into are from the two sons of Abraham (Pbuh) The Arab Nation / Ishmaelites aka Brother Israelites in the Holy Scriptures are descendants of the first son Ishmael and the Jewish Nation Israelites are descendents from Abraham’s second son Isaac. The children of Ishmael and Isaac are brethren / brothers to each other…

Moses and Jesus (Pbut) are descendants of Abraham’s son Isaac and Mohammed (Pbuh) a descendant of Ishmael making him their brethren.

Back to the topic both Moses and Jesus (Pbut) are Muslims…

The Almighty Allah told all the Prophets from the beginning onwards about the final Messenger Mohammed (Pbuh) who will be the seal of Prophet Hood.

MOSES (PBUH) MADE PROPHECY ABOUT MUHAMMAD (PBUH)

The Almighty Allah revealed to Moses (Pbuh) about the final Prophet Mohammed (Pbuh) See in the Holy Scriptures (Deuteronomy 18 The Prophet) Moses (Pbuh) speaks to his people and says: “The LORD said to me: “What they say is good. I will raise up for them a Prophet like unto thee (Like Moses Pbuh) from among their brethren (i.e. Ishmaelites); I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My Name, I myself will call him to account.” This fulfils the truth that Moses (Pbuh) is a Muslim; He believed in only one Allah, submitted to His will only and believed in the final Messenger Mohammed (Pbuh).

Moses Declared “There’s none worthy of Worship but Allah; and the Prophet Mohammed (Pbuh) who is just like me is the Final Messenger of Allah.

Mohammed (Pbuh) is like Moses (Pbuh) in all his ways, He was accepted by his people as a Messenger of Allah, He came with Shariah (Laws), was a king amongst his people, He came with revelation “The Final Message the Holy Quran”, Removed their shoes when entering on Holy Grounds, He was born naturally and died naturally etc… No other Prophet after Moses (Pbuh) fits this profile but Mohammed (Pbuh) the Prophet Like Moses who speaks “In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.” If you open the Holy Quran every chapter except the ninth begins with “In the Name of Allah Most Gracious, Most Merciful”

Jesus (Pbuh) also makes this declaration of faith:

Jesus (Pbuh) always said “It is written” before he quoted from the Holy Scriptures.

See the Holy Scriptures (Matthew 4 The Temptation of Jesus Pbuh)

In (Matthew 4:10) Jesus (Pbuh) makes the declaration of faith whilst the Devil tempts him… Jesus (Pbuh) said to him: “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your Creator, and serve him only.”; “The Lord, our Creator, is one Lord.” (Mark 12:29) There are much more where Jesus (Pbuh) confirms: “There’s none worthy of Worship but Allah” Now the Part where Jesus (Pbuh) declares Mohammed (Pbuh) as the Final Messenger of Allah:

 

JESUS’ (PBUH) MADE PROPHECY ABOUT MUHAMMAD (PBUH)

 

The Gospel of Jesus (Pbuh) brought into sharper focus the identity of the one who would fulfill the promise to make the line of Ishmael (Pbuh) a great nation. In the Gospel of John – a New Testament book which is not the Gospel of Jesus (Pbuh) and which may be considered as representing only in general terms portions of Jesus’ teaching – Jesus (Pbuh) informs his close companions that his work among them was drawing to conclusion, but Allah would send someone else after a time to carry forward the prophetic movement. This someone, however, would be the last of the prophets.

The following passages of the New Testament lend further proof to the Prophethood of Muhammad (Pbuh):

“And this is the record of John (the Baptist) when the Jews sent priests and levites from Jerusalem to ask him, who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed lam not the Christ. And they asked him, what then? Art thow Elias? And he saith lam not. Art thou THAT PROPHET? And he answered, No. And they asked him, and said unto him, why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither THAT PROPHET.” (“That Prophet” is the Prophet like Moses in Deuteronomy 18:18)

Jesus (Pbuh) said: in John (1:19-21,25) “If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father and He shall give you another Comforter, (Prophet) that he may abide with you forever. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” John (14:15, 16, 26, 30) “But when the Comforter is come, whom I shall send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.” John (15:26) “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement:

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

Of judgment because the prince of this world judged.

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will skew you things to come”.

He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall skew it unto you.” John (16:7-14)

Clearly these passages brings to light the following facts:

(1) Jesus Christ (Pbuh) made prophesy the coming of a Comforter after him. (2) The coming of the Comforter depends on Christ’s departure. (3) He is sent by Almighty, Allah. (4) He will teach everything. (5) He will draw attention towards what the Christ had foretold. (6) He will testify and glorify Christ. (7) He will not speak by himself but what he divinely hears. (8) He will foretell future events. (9) The world will follow his religion. (10) He will stay forever.

“And when Jesus son of Mary said: “O Children of Israel! Surely I am the apostle of Allah to you, verifying that which was (revealed) before me of the Torah, and giving the good tidings of an Apostle who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad… ” Holy Qur’an (61:6)

“Those who follow the Apostle – Prophet whom they find ordained for them in the Torah and the Gospel, he enjoins them good and forbids them evil…” Holy Qur’an (7:157)

The Spirit of truth/ Comforter/ Holy Ghost = Ahmad = The Name Jesus used in his mother tongue which is Munahmad = Mohammed.

Clearly in all truth all Prophets from the beginning in the line down to both Moses and Jesus are all Muslim.

They all prayed to Allah bowing down and falling onto their faces (prostrating) to Allah making Salaah.

Islaam is your religion and Allah is your Lord.

In The Name of Allah Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Praise be to Allah Lord, Cherisher and Sustainer of The Worlds,

Most Gracious Most Merciful,

Master, Owner of The Day of Judgment,

Thee Alone we Worship, Thee Alone we ask for help,

Guide us in the straight path, the path of those whom Thou hast blessed, not of those against whom Thou art wrathful, nor of those who are astray.”

 Jesus the son of Mary (Son of Man) said:

 

Ein talmeeth n’leh al rabbo; shekken kal adam she’MUSHLAM yihyeh k’rabbo.
No student can be above his rabbi, but everyone that is a MUSLIM, can be as his rabbi. (Luke 6:40)

Most English Bibles translate MUSHLAM as “completed” or “perfected” or “fully instructed”. But the closest translation of MUSHLAM is the Arabic word MUSLIM; which means “complete and perfect peaceful submitter” (i.e. to the Will of Allah).

Jesus told His “students” that whoever of them who shall be like their rabbi  (Jesus AS their teacher) shall be a Muslim! Jesus was a complete and perfect submitter to the Will of God, and He wanted His “talmeeth” (students) to be as HE WAS. Jesus was a MUSLIM, and His religion was ISLÁM (Complete and Perfect Peaceful Submission to the Will of Allah).

“Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of Him Who sent me, and to accomplish His work.’” [John 4:34]

“For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him Who sent me.” [John 6:38]

“…saying, ‘Father (Creator), if it is Your will, take this cup away from me; nevertheless not my will, but Yours, be done.’” [Luke 22:42]

The Beauty of Islaam

WELCOME TO THE GREAT KINGDOM OF ISLAAM

 Sharing the Beauty of Islaam with the brothers and sisters of the world.

Firstly what you should know is that Islaam has no sects, True Islaam is one religion with no division. A quick topic with regards to sects can be found in this article towards the end.

Secondly, Islaam is an investigative religion. Muslims do not believe in anything blindly because Islaam is based on facts and logical evidence. Without valid proof one can not believe. Islaam is the only True Religion and therefore you are assured that any and all questions you may have can be answered “with logical evidence”. Again Welcome and enjoy this learning experience.

What is Islaam?

Islaam means “Total Submission to the will of The Almighty Allah“, The word Islaam is derived from a word meaning ‘Peace’

What is a Muslim?

Definition of a Muslim is “One who Submits to the Will of The Almighty Allah“

Islaam is a Vast, Great and Beautiful Kingdom.

What is Islaam all about? (Total Submission to the will of The Almighty Allah)

Islaam is a way of life; it’s a perfect and beautiful lifestyle whereby one lives and holds by in firm faith as a Muslim.

Muslims believe in One, Unique, Incomparably Great Lord “The Almighty Allah”; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day of Judgment and individual accountability for actions; in Allah’s complete authority over human destiny and in life after death. Muslims believe in a chain of prophets starting with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them.
But Allah’s final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message and a summing-up of all that has gone before was revealed to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) through Gabriel.

To find out more about Allah click here… WHO IS ALLAH?
How Does Someone Become A Muslim?

For a Muslim every action begins with your intention quietly to yourself you can make the intention to embrace Islaam as your faith and by simply saying with clarity of intention firm faith and belief: ‘I testify that there is none worthy of worship but Allah, and Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah.’ By this declaration the believer announces his or her faith in all Allah’s messengers, and the scriptures they brought. After this one can take a shower symbolically cleansing one from your past life. Then learn how to pray and practice Islaam in your daily life, then continue to learn and study in your new faith: Tips…
Before embracing Islaam, be sure to spend time studying the faith, reading books, and learning from other Muslims.
Your conversion should be based on knowledge, certainty, acceptance, submission, truthfulness, and sincerity.
It is not required to have Muslim witnesses to your conversion, but many prefer to have such support.
If you wish to go for Hajj (pilgrimage), a “certificate of Islam” may be required. Contact your local Islamic centre to obtain one.

Allah says “Establish the religion and be not divided therein” this is a commandment to all the Prophets and all of mankind. True Islaam has no sects…

Why Does Islaam Often Seem Strange?

Islaam may seem exotic or even extreme to some people in the modern world. Perhaps this is because religion does not dominate everyday life in the World today, whereas Muslims have religion always uppermost in their minds, and make no division between secular and sacred. They believe that the Divine Law, the Shari’a, should be taken very seriously, which is why issues related to religion are still so important.
Do Islaam Judaism And Christianity Have Different Origins?

Not really. Judaism and Christianity are close to being sects of Islaam, Together they go back to the prophet and patriarch Ibrahim / Abraham (PBUH), and their three prophets are directly descended from his sons – Mohammad (PBUH) from the eldest, Ishmael (PBUH), and Moses (PBUH) and Jesus (PBUH) from Isaac (PBUH). Abraham (PBUH) established the settlement which today is the city of Makkah, and built the Ka’abah towards which all Muslims turn when they pray.
What Is The Ka’abah?

The Ka’abah is the place of worship which Allah commanded Abraham (Ibrahim) and Ishmael to build over four thousand years ago. The building was constructed of stone on what many believe was the original site of a sanctuary established by Adam. Allah commanded Abraham to summon all mankind to visit this place, and when pilgrims go there today they say ‘At Thy service, O Lord’, in response to Abraham’s summons.
Who Is Mohammad (PBUH)?

Mohammad (PBUH) is the final messenger of the Almighty Allah, he was born in Makkah in the year 570, at a time when Christianity was not yet fully established in Europe. Since his father died before his birth, and his mother shortly afterwards, he was raised by his uncle from the respected tribe of Quraysh. As he grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, so that he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. The historians describe him as calm and meditative.
Mohammad was of a deeply religious nature, and had long detested the decadence of his society. It became his habit to meditate from time to time in the Cave of Hira near the summit of Jaba al-Nur, the ‘Mountain of Light’ near Makkah.
How Did He Become A Prophet And A Messenger Of Allah?

At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat, Muhammad received his first revelation from Allah through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for twenty-three years, is known as the Qur’an.
As soon as he began to recite the words he heard from Gabriel, and to preach the truth which Allah had revealed to him, he and his small group of followers suffered bitter persecution which grew so fierce that in the year 622 Allah gave them the command to emigrate. This event, the Hijra, ‘migration’, in which they left Makkah for the city of Madinah some 260 miles to the north, marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar.
After several years, the Prophet and his followers were able to return to Makkah, where they forgave their enemies and established Islaam definitively. Before the Prophet died at the age of 63, the greater part of Arabia was Muslim, and within a century of his death Islaam had spread to Spain in the West and as far East as China and today Islaam is the biggest and fastest growing religion that covers the entire world.
How Did The Spread Of Islaam Affect The World?

Among the reasons for the rapid and peaceful spread of Islam was the simplicity of its doctrine-Islaam calls for faith in only one worthy of worship The Almighty Allah. It also repeatedly instructs man to use his powers of intelligence and observation.
Within a few years, great civilizations and universities were flourishing, for according to the Prophet, ’seeking knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim man and woman’. The synthesis of Eastern and Western ideas and of new thought with old, brought about great advances in medicine, mathematics, physics, astronomy, geography, architecture, art, literature, and history. Many crucial systems such as algebra, the Arabic numerals, and also the concept of the zero (vital to the advancement of mathematics), were transmitted to medieval Europe from Islaam. Sophisticated instruments which were to make possible the European voyages of discovery were developed, including the astrolabe, the quadrant and good navigational maps. The more mankind advances in science and technology the more people discover the truth that Islaam is the only true religion.
What Is The Qur’an?

The Qur’an is a record of the exact words revealed by Allah through the Angel Gabriel to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). It was memorized by him and then dictated to his Companions, and written down by scribes, who cross-checked it during his lifetime. Not one word of its 114 chapters, Suras, has been changed over the centuries, so that the Qur’an is in every detail the unique and miraculous text which was revealed to Mohammad (PBUH) centuries ago.
What Is The Qur’an About?

The Qur’an, the last revealed Word of Allah, is the prime source of every Muslim’s faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern us as human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship, and law, but its basic theme is the relationship between Allah and His creatures. At the same time it provides guidelines for a just society, proper human conduct and an equitable economic system. The Quran covers all parts of life and is in line with our advancement in science and technology.

Are There Any Other Sacred Sources?

Yes, the Sunna, the practice and example of the Prophet, is the second authority for Muslims. A Hadith is a reliably transmitted report of what the Prophet said, did, or approved. Belief in the Sunna is part of the Islamic faith.
Examples Of The Prophet’s SayingsThe Prophet said:
‘Allah has no mercy on one who has no mercy for others’.
‘None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself’.
‘He who eats his fill while his neighbour goes without food is not a believer’.
‘The truthful and trusty businessman is associated with the prophets, the saints, and the martyrs’.
‘Powerful is not he who knocks the other down, indeed powerful is he who controls himself in a fit of anger’.
‘Allah does not judge according to your bodies and appearances but He scans your hearts and looks into your deeds’.
‘A man walking along a path felt very thirsty. Reaching a well he descended into it, drank his fill and came up. Then he saw a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst. The man saw that the dog was feeling the same thirst as he had felt so he went down into the well again and filled his shoe with water and gave the dog a drink. Allah forgave his sins for this action’. The Prophet was asked: ‘Messenger of Allah, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?’ He said, ‘There is a reward for kindness to every living thing’.

What Are The ‘Five Pillars’ Of Islam?

They are the framework of the Muslim life: faith, prayer, concern for the needy, self-purification, and the pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.

1. FAITH (Imaan) 

There is none worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is His messenger. This declaration of faith is called the Shahada, a simple formula which all the faithful pronounce. In Arabic, the first part is la ilaha illa’Llah – ‘there is none except Allah’; ilaha (Worthy of Worship) can refer to anything which we may be tempted to put in place of Allah — wealth, power, and the like. Then comes illa’Llah:’ except Allah, the source of all Creation. The second part of the Shahada is Muhammadun rasulu’Llah: ‘Mohammad is the messenger of Allah’. A message of guidance has come through a man like ourselves.

 2. PRAYER (Salaah)

Salah is the name for the obligatory prayers which are performed five times a day, and are a direct link between the worshipper and Allah. There is no hierarchical authority in Islaam, and no priests, so the prayers are led by a learned person who knows the Qur’an, chosen by the congregation. These five prayers contain verses from the Qur’an, and are said in Arabic, the language of the Revelation, but personal supplication can be offered in one’s own language.
Prayers are said at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and nightfall, and thus determine the rhythm of the entire day. Although it is preferable to worship together in a mosque (Masjid), a Muslim may pray almost anywhere, such as in fields, offices, factories and universities. Visitors to the Muslim world are struck by the centrality of prayers in daily life.

 3. THE ‘ZAKAT’

 

 

 

 

One of the most important principles of Islam is that all things belong to Allah, and that wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The word zakat means both ‘purification’ and ‘growth’. Our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need, and, like the pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.
Each Muslim calculates his or her own zakat individually. For most purposes this involves the payment each year of two and a half percent of one’s capital.
A pious person may also give as much as he or she pleases as sadaqa, and does so preferably in secret. Although this word can be translated as ‘voluntary charity’ it has a wider meaning. The Prophet said ‘even meeting your brother with a with his own hands for his benefit and then give something out of such earnings in charity’. The Companions asked: ‘What if he is not able to work?’ The Prophet said: ‘He should help poor and needy persons.’ The Companions further asked ‘What is he cannot do even that?’ The Prophet said ‘He should urge others to do good’. The Companions said ‘What if he lacks that also?’ The Prophet said ‘He should check himself from doing evil. That is also charity.’
4. THE FAST

Every year in the month of Ramadan, all Muslims fast from first light until sundown, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations. Those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are pregnant or nursing are permitted to break the fast and make up an equal number of days later in the year. If they are physically unable to do this, they must feed a needy person for every day missed. Children begin to fast (and to observe the prayer) from puberty, although many start earlier.
Although the fast is most beneficial to the health, it is regarded principally as a method of self-purification. By cutting oneself off from worldly comforts, even for a short time, a fasting person gains true sympathy with those who go hungry as well as growth in one’s spiritual life.
5. PILGRIMAGE (Hajj)

The annual pilgrimage to Makkah—the Hajj—is an obligation only for those who are physically and financially able to perform it. Nevertheless, about two million people go to Makkah each year from every corner of the globe providing a unique opportunity for those
of different nations to meet one another. Although Makkah is always filled with visitors, the annual Hajj begins in the twelfth month of the Islamic year (which is lunar, not solar, so that Hajj and Ramadan fall sometimes in summer, sometimes in winter). Pilgrims wear special clothes: simple garments which strip away distinctions of class and culture, so that all stand equal before Allah.
The rites of the Hajj, which are of Abrahamic origin, include circling the Ka’abah seven times, and going seven times between the mountains of cheerful face is charity’.
The Prophet said: ‘Charity is a necessity for every Muslim’. He was asked: ‘What if a person has nothing?’ The Prophet replied: ‘He should work Safa and Marwa as did Hagar during her search for water. Then the pilgrims stand together on the wide plain of Arafa and join in prayers for Allah’s forgiveness, in what is often thought of as a preview of the Last Judgement.
In previous centuries the Hajj was an arduous undertaking. Today, however, Saudi Arabia provides millions of people with water, modern transport, and the most up-to-date health facilities.
The close of the Hajj is marked by a festival, the Eid al-Adha, which is celebrated with prayers and the exchange of gifts in Muslim communities everywhere. This, and the Eid al-Fitr, a feast-day commemorating the end of Ramadan, are the main festivals of the Muslim calendar.
Does Islaam Tolerate Other Beliefs? The Qur’an says: Allah forbids you not, with regards to those who fight you not for (your) faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them; for Allah loveth those who are just. (Qur’an, 60:8)
It is one function of Muslim law to protect the privileged status of minorities, and this is why non-Muslim places of worship have flourished all over the Muslim world. History provides many examples of Muslim tolerance towards other faiths: when the caliph Omar entered Jerusalem in the year 634, Islaam granted freedom of worship to all religious communities in the city.
Muslim law also permits non- Muslim minorities to set up their own courts, which implement family laws drawn up by the minorities themselves.
However Allah will not accept any praise from those who praise Him not and on Judgement day their worship, praises and good deeds will be of no value. All praise be to Allah alone. On judgement day they will stand with their faces tired and be the companions of the Hell Fire and those who believe in Allah; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day of Judgement and individual accountability for actions; in Allah’s complete authority over human destiny and in life after death will by the Mercy of Allah enter Heaven (Jannah)
What Do Muslims Think About Jesus (PBUH)?Muslims respect and revere Jesus, and await his Second Coming. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah’s Messengers to mankind. A Muslim never refers to him simply as ‘Jesus’, but always adds the phrase ‘peace be upon him’. The Qur’an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur’an is entitled ‘Mary’), and Mary is considered the purest woman in all creation. The Qur’an describes the Annunciation as follows:
‘Behold!’ the Angel said, ‘Allah has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, Allah gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus (Isa) son of Mary, honoured in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to Allah. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and shall be of the righteous.’
She said: ‘O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?’ He said: ‘Even so; Allah creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, “Be!” and it is.’ (Qur’an, 3:42-7)
Jesus (Isa) was born miraculously through the same power which had brought Adam into being without a father:
Truly, the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, ‘Be!’ and he was. (3:59)
During his prophetic mission Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur’an tells us that he said:
I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by Allah’s leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by Allah’s leave. (3:49)
Neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in One Allah, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it. In the Qur’an Jesus is reported as saying that he came:
To attest the law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your
Lord, so fear Allah and obey me. (3:50)
The Prophet Muhammad said:
Whoever believes there is none worthy of worship but Allah, alone without a partner(s), that Mohammad is His messenger, that Jesus is the servant and messenger of Allah, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by Allah into Heaven (Jannah). (Hadith from Bukhari)
Why Is The Family So Important To Muslims?The family is the foundation of Islamic society. The peace and security offered by a stable family unit is greatly valued, and seen as essential for the spiritual growth of its members. A harmonious social order is created by the existence of extended families; children are treasured, and rarely leave home until the time they marry.
What About Muslim Women? Islaam sees a woman, whether single or married, as an individual in her own right, with the right to own and dispose of her property and earnings. A marriage dowry is given by the groom to the bride for her own personal use, and she keeps her own family name rather than taking her husband’s.
Both men and women are expected to dress in a way which is modest and dignified; the traditions of female dress found in some Muslim countries are often the expression of local customs.
The Messenger of Allah said:
‘The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best in manner and kindest to his wife.’
Can A Muslim Have More Than One Wife? The religion of Islaam was revealed for all societies and all times and so accommodates widely differing social requirements. Circumstances may warrant the taking of another wife but the right is granted, according to the Qur’an, only on condition that the husband is scrupulously fair.
Muslim MarriageA Muslim marriage is not a ’sacrament’, but a simple, legal agreement in which either partner is free to include conditions. Marriage customs thus vary widely from country to country. As a result, divorce is not common, although it is not forbidden as a last resort. According to Islaam, no Muslim girl can be forced to marry against her will: her parents will simply suggest young men they think may be suitable.
How Do Muslims Treat The Elderly? In the Muslim world there are no old people’s homes. The strain of caring for one’s parents in this most difficult time of their lives is considered an honour and blessing, and an opportunity for great spiritual growth. Allah asks that we not only pray for our parents, but act with limitless compassion, remembering that when we were helpless children they preferred us to themselves. Mothers are particularly honoured: the Prophet taught that ‘Paradise lies at the feet of mothers’. When they reach old age, Muslim parents are treated mercifully, with the same kindness and selflessness.
In Islaam, serving one’s parents is a duty second only to prayer, and it is their right to expect it. It is considered despicable to express any irritation when, through no fault of their own, the old become difficult.
The Qur’an says: Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and be kind to parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, do not say ‘uff’ to them or chide them, but speak to them in terms of honour and kindness. Treat them with humility, and say, ‘My Lord! Have mercy on them, for they did care for me when I was little’. (17:23-4)
How Do Muslims View Death?

Muslims believe that the present life is only a trial preparation for the next realm of existence. Basic articles of faith include: the Day of Judgement, resurrection, Heaven and Hell. When a Muslim dies, he or she is washed, usually by a family member, wrapped in a clean white cloth, and buried with a simple prayer preferably the same day. Muslims consider this one of the final services they can do for their relatives, and an opportunity to remember their own brief existence here on earth. The Prophet taught that three things can continue to help a person even after death; charity which he had given, knowledge which he had taught and prayers on their behalf by a righteous child.
What Does Islaam Say About War?

Like Christianity, Islam permits fighting in self-defence, in defence of religion, or on the part of those who have been expelled forcibly from their homes. It lays down strict rules of combat which include prohibitions against harming civilians and against destroying crops, trees and livestock. As Muslims see it, injustice would be triumphant in the world if good men were not prepared to risk their lives in a righteous cause. The Qur’an says:
Fight in the cause of Allah against those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. Allah does not love transgressors. (2:190)
If they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in Allah for He is the One that heareth and knoweth all things. (8:61)
War, therefore, is the last resort, and is subject to the rigorous conditions laid down by the sacred law. The term Jihad literally means ‘struggle’, and Muslims believe that there are two kinds of Jihad. The other ‘Jihad’ is the inner struggle which everyone wages against egotistic desires, for the sake of attaining inner peace.
What About Food?

Although much simpler than the dietary law followed by Jews and the early Christians, the code which Muslims observe forbids the consumption of pig meat or any kind of intoxicating drink. The Prophet taught that ‘your body has rights over you’ and the consumption of wholesome food and the leading of a healthy lifestyle are seen as religious obligations.
The Prophet said: ‘Ask Allah for certainty (of faith) and well-being; for after certainty, no one is given any gift better than health!’
How Does Islaam Guarantee Human Rights? Freedom of conscience is laid down by the Qur’an itself: ‘There is no compulsion in religion’. (2:256)
The life and property of all citizens in a Muslim state are considered sacred whether a person is Muslim or not.
Racism is incomprehensible to Muslims, for the Qur’an speaks of human equality in the following terms: O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Truly, the most honoured of you in Allah’s sight is the greatest of you in piety. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (49:13)

Does Islaam have sects or divisions like other religions?

No, True Islaam does not have sects or divisions; Islaam does not tolerate any of such movements.

There are No additions or removals made or taken to Islaam. Any addition or removal would have one leave and be out of the fold of Islaam

We believe in what was sent down to us from our Lord “The Holy Quran”, and we the believers; each one believes in Allah and His Angels, and in His Books and His Messengers; we make no division between any one of His Messengers, ‘We hear, and we obey.

Allah gave His commandments to all the Prophets and said to them: “Establish the Religion and be not divided therein” (Surah Ash- Surah 42:13)

In plain one should not make divisions or sects and should never associate yourself with any group of people other then True Islaam, you only have true Muslims and Kufar (Non-believers).

 

This may upset some people; please keep in mind any anger you may have whilst reading this is a flame from Iblis (The Devil)

 

The True Muslim stands firm and strong against the Kufar, we the Mu’min will always defeat the Kufar and we have love amongst each other.

Concerning Sects: For any one to fall part in the sin of division or sects is when you start a group or try to prove you are on the straight path by calling, naming or associating yourself in an additional group or groups or adding practices not part of Islaam, In no way is it acceptable in Islaam be it for whatever reason.

However when it comes to sects and Islaam we somehow find quite a few out there today… We get the Sunni and Shia groups, this gets broken up further when it comes to the four Imams…

We have Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali these are but Sunnah (practices of our beloved Nabi Mohammed SAW) none is wrong all of these practices are correct meaning you can practice any of these Sunnah and follow any Imam leading in Salaah and it will be valid.

 

How one makes a sect or division in Islaam is when you associate yourself with a group, we are neither and only Muslims, we are not Sunni Muslim nor Shia Muslim, we should not call ourselves Hanafi, Shafi, Hanbali, Maliki.

These are schools of thought we can perform any act of Ibadat in any of these Sunnah.

 

The historical problem is with the succession of Rasullallah (SAW) in fact no one is his (SAW) successor only the most learned, most wise among men in Islaam at appointed times should be elected as ruler or as someone to be the caretaker of Islaam and Muslims in the world.

 

Islaam is Total Submission to the will of Allah and has nothing to do with sects and quarrels over who should be Chgaliphate.

In today’s world we find many people claiming that they are on the right side or path but in fact are in the depths of a hole, some use Hadith as the excuse to try and justify their Non-Muslim beliefs.

You find people saying and using Hadith where Rasullallah (SAW) said Islaam will be split into 72 or 73 sects and only one will enter Jannah, they use this to justify their splitting up but the fact is only one will enter Jannah if we look at it then none will enter Jannah because all are sects and the only one left is the one who makes no sect the one to enter Jannah would be the one who sticks to what Allah says. “Establish the Religion and be not divided therein”

 

It is Allah that says not us, it is the Shari’ah of Allah not of creation but for creation.

“102. O ye who believe! Observe your duty to Allah with right observance, and die not but as those who have surrendered (unto Him Allah);

103. And hold fast, all of you together, to the cable of Allah, and do not separate. And remember Allah’s favour unto you: how ye were enemies and He made friendship between your hearts so that ye became as brothers by His grace; and (how) ye were upon the brink of an abyss of fire, and He did save you from it.

Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem

67. The hypocrites, both men and women, proceed one from another. They enjoin the wrong, and they forbid the right, and they withhold their hands (from spending for the cause of Allah). They forget Allah, so He hath forgotten them.

Lo! the hypocrites, they are the transgressors.

4. And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter.

5. These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.

6. As for the disbelievers, whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not.

7. Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.

8. And of mankind are some who say: We believe in Allah and the Last Day, when they believe not.

9. They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not.

10. In their hearts is a disease, and Allah increaseth their disease. A painful doom theirs because they lie.

11. And when it is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth, they say: We are peacemakers only.

12. Are not they indeed the mischief makers? But they perceive not.

13. And when it is said unto them: Believe as the people believe, they say: Shall we believe as the foolish believe? Are not they indeed the foolish? But they know not.

14. And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe; but when they go apart to their devils they declare: Lo! we are with you; verily we did but mock.

15. Allah (Himself) doth mock them, leaving them to wander blindly on in their contumacy.

16. These are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, so their commerce doth not prosper, neither are they guided.

Where do you fit in? Are you truly with us in the path of Allah or against us? Verily Allah knows what is in the hearts of men.

Islam for Israel

 

In the name of Allah (Eloah  אלוה)Most Gracious Most Merciful

As’salaamu Alaikum Wa’Rahmatullahi Wa’Barakatu (Shalom)

Welcome to the Great Kingdom of Islaam

The Almighty Allah in Hebrew (אלוה) spelt as Eloah but pronounced just as in Arabic (الله), Aramaic (אֱלָהָא) and Syriac (ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ) as Allah.

 

Who is Allah?

Allah is The One, the Almighty Creator, Lord of the worlds; He is the sole Owner of all the Most Beautiful, Most High and Most Holy Attributes, Names/ Titles. None of His creation can take name to any of His Attributes for He is Incomparably Great meaning He can Not be compared to any of His creation for example He can not be compared to being a rock, the sun, the moon, a building, an Idol, He is not male nor female, has no sons nor daughters etc…

The Almighty Allah tells us about Himself in His final revelation to mankind the Holy Quran, In Surah Ikhlas (Chapter 112) the Almighty Allah gives us a perfect and brief description of who He is in four short sentences which are as follows:

In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

0.1  Say: He is Allah, The One

0.2  Allah the eternal Besought of all!

0.3  He begetteth not nor was begotten.

What does Islaam mean?

Islaam: Total submission to the will of Allah

What’s the meaning of Muslim (Hebrew: Mushlam)?

Muslim: One who is perfect and complete in submission to the will of Allah (Eloah)

What does the Almighty Allah say about Jews, Christians, Sabaeans and Muslims in the Holy Quran?

Almighty Allah Says in the Holy Quran: Q2:62 “Those who believe (The Muslims) and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabaeans whoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day (Judgement Day) and doeth right surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.”, Q2:63 “And remember O Children of Israel, when We (Allah) have made a covenant with you and caused the Mount to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast that which We (Allah) have given you, and remember that which is therein, that ye may ward off evil.”

The Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran: Q5:44 “Lo! We did reveal the Torah, wherein there is guidance and a light, by which the Prophets who surrender to His will judge (rule/ guide) the Jews, and the rabbis and the priests (judged/ guided) by such of Allah’s Scripture as they were bidden to observe, and thereunto were they witness. So fear not mankind, but Fear Me. And batter not My revelations for a little gain. Whose judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are disbelievers. Q5:45 “Whoso judge not by that which Allah hath revealed: such as wrongdoers.” Q5:46 “We bestowed on him  (Eesa / Jesus) the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light, confirming that which was revealed before it the Torah a guidance and an admonition unto those who ward off evil.” Q5:47 “Let the people of the Gospel judge by that which Allah hath revealed therein. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed; such are evil livers.” Q5:48 “And unto thee (Muslims) We (Allah) revealed the Scripture with the truth (Holy Quran), confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it. So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires away from the truth which hath come unto thee. For each We (Allah) have appointed a Shariah (divine law) and a traced out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given you. (He hath made you as ye are) So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ.”

“O People of the Scripture. Come to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partners unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside Allah.” The Holy Qur’an 3:64

O Children of Israel Islaam is your religion and Allah is your Lord.

Allah, The One verily there’s none other worthy of Worship but Him

The Holy Land: Israel the Muslim State and Home to the Islamic Caliphate Al Imam Al Mahdi.

 

 

 

Love and Unity for the pleasure of Allah, Oh Allah we pray let the family of Ibraheem (Abraham) Peace be upon him come together in love and unity solely for Your pleasure the Israelite and brother Israelite (Ishmaelites) Ameen (Amen)

DOWNLOAD THE QURAN IN ENGLISH

 

The Temple within

 

Moses and Jesus Peace be upon them are Muslim

 

Their messages, way of life and the 5 Pillars of Islaam proves it.

 

1)      Imaan (Faith) in the Oneness of the Almighty Allah (Eloah). Both Prophets Musa (Moses) and Eesa (Jesus son of Maryam) peace be upon them believed in and preached about the Oneness of the Almighty Allah, both proclaimed to the Children of Israel “Hear O Israel the Lord your Ilah (Deity) is One!” and both knew about and believed in the final Prophet and Messenger of Allah who is known by his titles such as The Comforter, Trustworthy, True, Altogether Lovely, this Messenger is Mohammed Sallallahu Alahi Wa’salaam. The beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam is mentioned by name in the Hebrew Bible of the Song of Sulaiyman (Solomon) chapter 5 verse 16: “Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem.” (Translation: “His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is Muhammad. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.”) To become a Muslim you make the declaration of faith which is as follows: “I testify that there’s none worthy of Worship but Allah, and I testify that Mohammed is His final Prophet and Messenger.”

2)      Salaah (Muslim Prayer) this link (How Moses, Jesus and other Biblical Prophets Prayed) provides you with the evidence and is an introduction to the prayer of the Prophets, which were given to the Muslims as a gift from the Almighty Allah

3)      Zakat (Charity) The giving of charity is compulsory on all the Prophets, but the taking of charity is forbidden (Haraam/ Non-Khosher) to the Prophets, all the Messengers of Allah (Eloah) gave charity.

4)      Fast Like charity fasting is compulsory for Prophets, both Moses and Eesa (Jesus) peace be upon them had undertaken fast.

5)      Hajj (Pilgrimage) Both performed Hijra (Pilgrimage) to the first Qibla (Temple Mosque) in Jerusalem (The Qibla is the direction in which the Prophets faced when making Sallah) The First Qibla is situated on Temple Mount Masjid Al-Aqsa. During the time of Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu Alahi Wa’salaam the Muslims performed Salaah facing the First Qibla in Jerusalem, then the Almighty Allah revealed in the Holy Quran that they should turn and face the Kaba in Makka see Surah : “2:144”  “We (Allah) have seen the turning of thy face to heaven (for guidance, O Muhammad). And now verily We (Allah) shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a Qiblah (direction) which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship (The Kaba), and ye (O Muslims), wheresoever ye may be, turn your faces when ye pray) toward it. Lo! those who have received the Scripture know that (this Revelation) is the Truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.” immediately they turned and faced Masjid Al-Haram (Temple Mosque) the Kaba in Makka. The Kaba was built by Ibraheem (Abraham) and his first son Ishmael peace be upon them. All Muslims face the Kaba when performing the Salaah. The Kaba is the first House of Allah 

 

All the Prophets of Allah are Muslim, they all greeted as Muslims greet each other with As’salaamu Alaikum and their character was the submission to our (Ilah) Deity/ Lord.  (Allahu Ahad) Allah The One, (Allahu Samad) Allah the Eternal Besaught of all, (Lam Ya lid Wa Lam Yu lad) He begetteth Not nor was He begotten, (Wa Lam ya kulahu kufuwan Ahad) And there is None comparable unto Him.

Al-Quran Surah 2:163 “Your Ilah (Deity/ Lord) is One; there is none but Him, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful”

The Word (Messages) of Allah is Truth, therefore follow the religion of Ibraheem (Abraham) peace be upon him, the upright. He was not of the idolaters. He is a Muslim (One who submits to the will of Allah). Lo! The first Sanctuary appointed for mankind is that at Makka (The Kaba), a blessed place, a guidance to the peoples; wherein are plain testament of Allah’s guidance; the place where Ibraheem (Abraham) peace be upon him stood to pray; and whosoever entereth it is safe.

Islam Dominates (Rules) The World

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

 

Islaam rules the world in many ways, Islaam dominating the world was the promise of the Almighty Allah.

If we look at world trends we will come to know of the various ways Islaam being the dominant religion.

 

1)      People can not stop talking about Allah, Islaam, Muslims, The Holy Quran, the Prophet of Allah Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam, everywhere you look people are talking about Islaam it is the dominant topic of all time to the end of time for this world and for all time in the Hereafter. Islaam dominates, throughout history no Jew or Christian ever lived without mentioning Islaam, thinking about Islaam, trying to study Islaam, even with religious debates Islaam always rules the entire scene. Islaam is the topic of every home around the world no man on earth has ever lived without talking and hearing or reading about Islaam. Every person who fought against Islaam be it on the battlefield, in words, in writings etc… has lost in every way. What they’ve only managed to do was create an opportunity for Muslims to defend Islaam and spread Islaam, every Anti-Muslim group, website, book etc… only brought an interest to Islaam people became curious because it is human nature to become curious, in their attempts to slander Islaam people wanted to know more about the alleged flaws or errors they talk about, people got curious and wanted to know everything about Islaam. Thus in turn by means of their investigations, contemplation and eventual understanding people got to know that it is merely false allegations and that Islaam is the only true religion filled with beauty and the promise of Heaven if you submit fully to the will of Allah.

 

2)      Islaam dominates the world politically by the Shariah (Divine Laws) of Allah, which is the only perfect and complete system for all mankind. The Shariah of Allah covers all aspects of life in its various fluctuating conditions. Islaam always has the answer.

 

3)      The fact that you are reading this article proves that Islaam is in your heart and it dominates your thoughts. La Illah ha’Ill Allah (There’s no other Illah “Diety” but Allah) these words dominates every persons heart, it echoes in your heart and mind constantly repeating unlit it becomes manifest that truly there is none worthy of worship but Allah.

 

4)      The Facts: Your father, mother, brother(s), sister(s), aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers, their father, mother, brother(s), sister(s), aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers all spoke, read and heard about Islaam, Islaam dominates your entire family history, and the history of your families life, Islaam has always been part of your life.

 

5)      It is time you get to know Islaam more closer and more personally so now you have the opportunity, below please find a detailed introduction to Islaam and the Muslim way of life, I pray that Allah guides you as He already guided you here to read this article, become my Muslim Borther/ Sister by entering the Beautiful Great Kingdom of Islaam.

Inside Islam: A Guide for Catholics

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

I testify that there’s none worthy of worship but Allah, and I testify that Mohammed is His Final Messenger.

I’ve come to know of a Book by Non-Muslims called - Inside Islam: A Guide For Catholics.

The Book is laid with errors and the first is that it’s not from within Islam, why the title Inside Islam if it’s not written by a Muslim? They have a certain so called ex-Muslim who wrote the book, a very rare thing to my knowledge.

I wonder how their take on would be when my Books are released but anyway here’s just a taste of a little response to Catholics Truly from Inside Islam as a Real Guide for them to follow.

The below are but only a few articles among the vast amount of wisdom and eye opening atricles I have. For those who wish to respond or debate the matter click (here)

UMN Intl: We applaud the Muslim World

UMN Intl: We applaud the Muslim World

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

We applaud the Muslim World in its stand for unity, a new era has come upon the Muslim Ummah an era in which we will flourish this is the era in which the Kingdom of Islaam will rise and stand as the greatest empire the world have ever witnessed.

Our united economic, diplomatic, and military endeavours will bring to the fore great wealth to the Muslim Ummah, this is the era where we are free from oppression, the era in which Muslims embrace one another with true Salaam and happiness, and our youth will stand united forever. The dawn of Islaam has come upon the face of the earth through the teachings of our beloved Nabi Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam and the guidance of Allah from His noble Word Al Quran, the Shariah of Allah is perfect and complete. Disputing its perfection and completeness is a waste of time for men of understanding such is idle talk and a waste of words, the Shariah of Allah is our business tool, it is our diplomatic tool, our military tool and a complete guidance for us to live by in complete modesty, purified, holy and happily. The world is not meant to be a place of secularism Islaam teaches us unto to Allah belongs the East and the West, the Heavens and the Earth and everything between them exists through the will of Allah, the doors of Muslim Land should be open freely to all Muslims to secure and ensure spiritual, intellectual and economical growth of the Muslim Ummah.

Our enemies are but friends to each other let their words not make you waver or change the course on which you are moving in, the Almighty Allah’s commands is unity will you then disobey Him? Allah says in Al Quran 42:13

13. Establish the religion, and be not divided therein.

To the very liking of what unites us the Shahada is the clear cut statement that there’s no other law but the Divine Law Shariah of Allah i.e. (There’s no other Illah (Diety) but Allah)

The Almighty Allah says in Al Quran 5:44-47

44. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are (Kaafirun) disbelievers.

45. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong doers.

47. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed; such are evil living people.

Islaam is One there are no other versions in Quran, we all read and live by the same Book, the Book whereof there is no doubt, we as Muslim make Fatwa (judgement) by Al Quran and Hadith stands as our backing for the judgement we make only if need be.

There’s no other law but the Shariah of Allah everything else other then the law of Allah is Shirk.

The Almighty Allah have set Al Quran is the appointed Authority over us, the most learned man amongst Muslims is to be appointed as Khalifah, the Khilafa is Not appointed as a successor to Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam, but rather the representative of Al Quran, a representative of Islaam and the Muslim Ummah.

As Muslims we are ranked in Piety therefore we should base our Bay’ah on the status of ones Piety, and piety is recognised through ones loyalty in Islaam and this loyalty is Islamic royalty, this royal sainthood and piety is obtained when one leaves behind the desires of this world for that of the Hereafter by spending of our worldly desires in the path of Allah.

Allah says in Surah 96:

1. Read: In the name of thy Lord who createth,

2. Createth man from a clot.

3. Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous,

4. Who teacheth by the pen,

5. Teacheth man that which be knew not.

6. Nay, but verily man is rebellious

7. That he thinketh himself independent!

8. Lo! unto thy Lord is the return.

9. Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth

10. A slave when he prayeth?

11. Hast thou seen if he (relieth) on the guidance (of Allah)

12. Or enjoineth piety?

13. Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah’s guidance) and is froward?

14. Is he then unaware that Allah seeth?

15. Nay, but if he cease not. We will seize him by the forelock

16. The lying, sinful forelock

17. Then let him call upon his henchmen!

18. We will call the guards of hell.

19. Nay! Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).

MORE THAN DREAMS ISLAM IS A REALITY NOT A DREAM

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

ISLAAM IS AN INVESTIGATIVE RELIGION:

The Almighty Allah refers to “men of understanding” in the Holy Quran.

Islaam has everything to do with the heart, with knowledge, certainty, facts, reality and understanding. It covers all aspects of life, it is perfect and complete. below are links on some matters to ponder on, this article is in response to an anti-islamic, anti-muslim websites who’s aims are to spread falsehood, lies and evil. This article is a tool for the Muslim to give Dawah to the Kufaar (Non-Muslims) who constantly fabricate and lie to try and attempt to weaken the Muslim spirit but what they don’t know is anyone can see a lie.

Masih ad-Dajjal (المسيح الدجّال‎) (“The Impostor Messiah”)

Masih ad-Dajjal is a Demon, a spirit of Baatil (Fabrication) he resembles nothing of Masih Isa ibn Maryam Alaihi Salaam, 

Dajjal is one who appears in peoples dreams whilst asleep as specially people who have doubt of religion in their hearts, the Almighty Allah says “This is the Book (Al-Quran) whereof there is no Doubt”, “a Guidance unto mankind”, “a means to ward off evil”

 

The Holy Quran, The Word of Allah commands us to do good, to ward off evil, to fast, to pray many times, to go for Hajj, to give to the poor and needy, to be united, to love all mankind, to praise Allah Alone and to guard our modesty this is but a few things to mention. Allah forbids us to do wrong and that is very clear, and He commands us to fight evil, this is the truth.

 

The Dajjal tells people he is Isa ibn Maryam in their dreams, Dajjal started a religion called Christianity, its existence came from a dream and not from Nabi Isa, if you look at the facts then you will find that it never existed during the time of Nabi Isa Alaihi Salaam. The governing system of Dajjal is called Democracy (Demoncrazy) (See Topic: Western Democracy VS Shariah & our Religion)

 

Dajjal is very different from Isa Alaihi Salaam look at the differences and you will come to know.

The UMN Intl Open letter to Vatican and Synagogue Neturei Karta International

Bible VS Christianity a clear difference no one can deny.

To prove to you the extensive study we’ve done on the Injeel (Bible) I will explain it in detail.

The Bible you find today is one book written compiled with the following: it is a recording of Hadith of Isa Alaihi Salaam, the words of Allah and Baatil Tafsir (Fabricated Commentary) all in one Book which is filled with man made errors, Most of the Hadith are correct, the words of Allah are still all in place and no errors at all, however all the commentary made are fabricated.

 

If you look at the sayings of Isa Alaihi Salaam in the Bible then he himself professes Islaam, he calls his people and followers to submit to the will of Allah and this can be found throughout the Bible.

 

As I’ve mentioned Islaam is an investigative religion stick around read the articles we have here and you will come to know that everything we say is Haqq.

The true Injeel (Bible) was revealed by our Lord the Almighty Allah to Nabi Isa Alaihi Salaam in Aramaic and not in Hebrew, the Hebrew language was a foreign language in the Middle East during the time period from Nabi Musa Alahi Salaam and Nabi Isa Alahi Salaam, even the Torah was revealed in Aramaic and not in Hebrew.

UMN Fatwa: Warrant of Arrest of Enemies of Islaam for Committing War Crimes : Compulsory Jihad

Date: 07 October 2009 

UMN Ulama-e-Haqq Intl (Fatwa Dept. – Case Number: Priority A – W.C 0001)

 

UMN Ulama-e-Haqq Intl (Fatwa Dept. – Case Number: Priority A – W.C. 0002)

 

 

UMN Intl Fatwa Department (Global Affairs)

 

Subject 1: Warrant of Arrest of Enemies of Islaam for Committing War Crimes

Subject 2: Compulsory Jihad

 

 

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

 

1. The UMN Intl Governing Body calls for the immediate arrest of the Israeli Zionist and their external assistants who are guilty of war crimes against Muslims and Palestinian People and for the illegal expulsion of land and the violation of Muslim rights.
2. The UMN Intl Governing Body calls for the immediate arrest of those who are guilty for the initiation of an illegal and immoral terror war waged against Muslims in the Islamic World, they have already been exposed with certainty of their international fraudulence and mischief under a terror republican regime of Anti-Islamic nations.

 

They are to be taken into police custody whereby they will face trial in a Muslim Shariah Court and the Islamic Shariah sentence for their crimes will be given.

 

This Fatwa is Wajib (Compulsory) and should be implemented internationally with immediate effect.

 

In addition to this the UMN Intl Military Force will launch an all out insurgence against the Zionist Regime in protection of al-Masjid al-Aqsa, for them to avoid this we request that the Zionist Regime stop their illegal expulsion of Muslim Land with immediate effect or face the consequences of meeting our heavily equipped artillery head on.

 

UMN Intl Military Force will deploy 10% of its military personnel comprising of both Israeli Muslims and Palestinians to the Holy City of Jerusalem for the protection of our beloved and third Most Holiest site al-Masjid al-Aqsa, another 20% will be deployed to safeguard and protect the Muslims from the illegal and immoral terror war operations of the Anti-Islamic nations.

 

The Anti-Islamic nations have no option but to comply with our demands as all our stations around the world have been fully equipped and prepared for instant engagement, whoever interferes in these matters will unfortunately face the exact result of our mighty insurgence internally. Should any among the Anti-Islamic nation advance towards us militarily take heed of the following: It will then certainly be a world war three…

Surah 5. Al-Maidah

44. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are disbelievers.

45. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong doers.

47. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed; such are evil livers.

 

There’s no other law but the Shariah (divine Law) of Allah

There’s no other Illah (Diety) but Allah

The Shariah of Allah is Islaam!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Surah Al-Baqara 190-195

190. Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not, aggressors.

191. And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.

192. But if they desist, then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

193. And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers.

194. The forbidden month for the forbidden month, and forbidden things in retaliation. And one who attacketh you, attack him like manner as he attacked you. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is with those who ward off (evil).

195. Spend your wealth for the cause of Allah, and be not cast by your own hands to ruin; and do good. Lo! Allah loveth the beneficent.

 

Surah Al-Baqara 216-218

 

216. Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not.

217. They question thee (O Muhammad) with regard to warfare in the sacred month. Say: Warfare therein is a great (transgression), but to turn (men) from the way of Allah, and to disbelieve in Him and in the Inviolable Place of Worship, and to expel his people thence, is a greater with Allah; for persecution is worse than killing. And they will not cease from fighting against you till they have made you renegades from your religion, if they can. And whoso becometh a renegade and dieth in his disbelief: such are they whose works have fallen both in the world and the Hereafter. Such are rightful owners of the Fire: they will abide there in.

218. Lo! those who believe, and those who emigrate (to escape the persecution) and strive in the way of Allah, these have hope of Allah’s mercy. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

 

Surah Al-Baqara 242-248

 

242. Thus Allah expoundeth unto you His revelations so that ye may understand.

243. Bethink thee (O Muhammad) of those of old, who went forth from their habitations in their thousands, fearing death, and Allah said unto them: Die, and then He brought them back to life. Lo! Allah is a Lord of Kindness to mankind, but most of mankind give not thanks.

244. Fight in the way of Allah, and know that Allah is Nearer, Knower.

245. Who is it that will lend unto Allah a goodly loan, so that He may give it increase manifold? Allah straiteneth and enlargeth. Unto Him ye will return.

246. Bethink thee of the leaders of the Children of Israel after Moses, how they said unto a Prophet whom they had: Set up for us a King and we will fight in Allah’s way. He said: Would ye then refrain from fighting if fighting were prescribed for you? They said: Why should we not fight in Allah’s way when we have been driven from our dwellings with our children? Yet, when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, all save a few of them. Allah is Aware of evil doers.

247. Their Prophet said unto them: Lo! Allah hath raised up Saul to be a king for you. They said: How can he have kingdom over us when we are more deserving of the kingdom than he is, since he hath not been given wealth enough? He said: Lo! Allah hath chosen him above you, and hath increased him abundantly in wisdom and stature. Allah bestoweth His sovereignty (governance) on whom He will. Allah is All Embracing, All Knowing.

248. And their Prophet said unto them: Lo! the token of his kingdom is that there shall come unto you the ark (Faith in your Heart) wherein is peace of reassurance (Sakina-e-Shahadah) from your Lord, and a remnant (Clear Example) of that which the house of Moses and the house of Aaron left behind, the angels bearing it (unseen hosts of Allah’s assistance). Lo! herein shall be a token for you if (in truth) ye are believers.

 

Surah 3. Al-Imran

 

12. Say (O Muhammad) unto those who disbelieve: Ye shall be overcome and gathered unto Hell, an evil resting place.

13. There was a token for you in two hosts which met: one army fighting in the way of Allah, and another disbelieving, whom they saw as twice their number, clearly, with their very eyes. Thus Allah strengtheneth with His succour whom He will. Lo! herein verily is a lesson for those who have eyes.

 

Surah 3. Al-Imran

108. These are revelations of Allah. We recite them unto thee in truth. Allah willeth no injustice to (His) creatures.

109. Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; and unto Allah all things are returned.

110. Ye are the best community that hath been raised up for mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in Allah. And if the People of the Scripture had believed it had been better for them. Some of them are believers; but most of them are evil livers.

111. They will not harm you save a trifling hurt, and if they fight against you they will turn and flee. And afterward they will not be helped.

112. Ignominy shall be theft portion wheresoever they are found save (where they grasp) a rope from Allah and a rope from men. They have incurred anger from their Lord, and wretchedness is laid upon them. That is because they used to disbelieve the revelations of Allah, and slew the Prophets wrongfully. That is because they were rebellious and used to transgress.

113. They are not all alike. Of the People of the Scripture there is a staunch community who recite the revelations of Allah in the night season, falling prostrate (before Him).

114. They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency, and vie one with another in good works. They are of the righteous.

115. And whatever good they do, they will not be denied the meed thereof. Allah is Aware of those who ward off (evil).

116. Lo! the riches and the progeny of those who disbelieve will not avail them aught against Allah; and such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.

 

Surah 3. Al-Imran

 

149. O ye who believe! If ye obey those who disbelieve, they will make you turn back on your heels, and ye turn back as losers.

150. But Allah is your Protector, and He is the best of helpers.

151. We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve because they ascribe unto Allah partners, for which no warrant hath been revealed. Their habitation is the Fire, and hapless the abode of the wrong doers.

152. Allah verily made good His promise unto you when ye routed them by His leave, until (the moment) when your courage failed you, and ye disagreed about the order and ye disobeyed, after He had shown you that for which ye long.

Some of you desired the world, and some of you desired the Hereafter. Therefore He made you flee from them, that

He might try you. Yet now He hath forgiven you. Allah is a Lord of Kindness to believers.

153. When ye climbed (the hill) and paid no heed to anyone, while the messenger, in your rear, was calling you (to fight). Therefor He rewarded you grief for (his) grief, that (He might teach) you not to sorrow either for that which ye missed or for that which befell you. Allah is Informed of what ye do.

154. Then, after grief, He sent clown security for you. As slumber did it overcome a party of you, while (the other) party, who were anxious on their own account, thought wrongly of Allah, the thought of ignorance. They said: Have we any part in the cause? Say (O Muhammad): The cause belongeth wholly to Allah. They hide within themselves (a thought) which they reveal not unto thee, saying: Had we had any part in the cause we should not have been slain here. Say: Even though ye had been in your houses, those appointed to be slain would have gone forth to the places where they were to lie. (All this hath been) in order that Allah might try what is in your breasts and prove what is in your hearts. Allah is Aware of what is hidden in the breasts (of men).

155. Lo! those of you who turned back on the day when the two hosts met, Satan alone it was who caused them to backslide, because of some of that which they have earned. Now Allah hath forgiven them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving. Clement.

156. O ye who believe! Be not as those who disbelieved and said of their brethren who went abroad in the land or were fighting in the field: If they had been (here) with us they would not have died or been killed; that Allah may make it anguish in their hearts. Allah giveth life and causeth death; and Allah is Seer of what ye do.

157. And what though ye be slain in Allah’s way or die therein? Surely pardon from Allah and mercy are better than all that they amass.

158. What though ye be slain or die, when unto Allah ye are gathered?

159. It was by the mercy of Allah that thou wast lenient with them (O Muhammad), for if thou hadst been stern and fierce of heart they would have dispersed from round about thee. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult with them upon the conduct of affairs. And when thou art resolved, then put thy trust in Allah. Lo! Allah loveth those who put their trust (in Him).

160. If Allah is your helper none can overcome you, and if He withdraw His help from you, who is there who can help you? In Allah let believers put their trust.

161. It is not for any Prophet to deceive (mankind). Whoso deceiveth will bring his deceit with him on the Day of Resurrection. Then every soul will be paid in full what it hath earned; and they will not be wronged.

162. Is one who followeth the pleasure of Allah as one who hath earned condemnation from Allah, whose habitation is the Fire, a hapless journey’s end?

163. There are degrees (of grace and reprobation) with Allah, and Allah is Seer of what ye do.

164. Allah verily hath shown grace to the believers by sending unto them a messenger of their own who reciteth unto them His revelations, and causeth them to grow, and teacheth them the Scripture and wisdom; although before (he came to them ) they were in flagrant error.

165. And was it so, when a disaster smote you, though ye had smitten (them with a disaster) twice (as great), that ye said: How is this? Say (unto them, O Muhammad): It is from yourselves. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.

166. That which befell you, on the day when the two armies met, was by permission of Allah; that He might know the true believers;

167. And that He might know the hypocrites, unto whom it was said: Come, fight in the way of Allah, or defend yourselves. They answered: If we knew aught of fighting we would follow you. On that day they were nearer disbelief than faith. They utter with their mouths a thing which is not in their hearts. Allah is best aware of what they hide.

168. Those who, while they sat at home, said of their brethren (who were fighting for the cause of Allah): If they had been guided by us they would not have been slain. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Then avert death from yourselves if ye are truthful.

169. Think not of those, who are slain in the way of Allah, as dead. Nay, they are living. With their Lord they have provision.

170. Jubilant (are they) because of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty, rejoicing for the sake of those who have not joined them but are left behind: that there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.

171. They rejoice because of favour from Allah and kindness, and that Allah wasteth not the wage of the believers.

172. As for those who heard the call of Allah and His messenger after the harm befell them (in the fight); for such of them as do right and ward off (evil), there is great reward,

173. Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!

174. So they returned with grace and favour from Allah, and no harm touched them. They followed the good pleasure of Allah, and Allah is of infinite bounty.

175. It is only the devil who would make (men) fear his partisans. Fear them not; fear Me, if ye are true believers.

176. Let not their conduct grieve thee, who run easily to disbelief, for Lo! they injure Allah not at all. It is Allah’s will to assign them no portion in the Hereafter, and theirs will be an awful doom.

177. Those who purchase disbelief at the price of faith harm Allah not at all, but theirs will be a painful doom.

178. And let not those who disbelieve imagine that the rein We give them bodeth good unto their souls. We only give them rein that they may grow in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful doom.

179. It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof.) So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.

180. And let not those who hoard up that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it is worse for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of Resurrection. Allah’s is the heritage of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Informed of what ye do.

181. Verily Allah heard the saying of those who said, (when asked for contributions to the war): “Allah, forsooth, is poor, and we are rich! We shall record their saying with their slaying of the Prophets wrongfully and We shall say: Taste ye the punishment of burning!

182. This is on account of that which your own hands have sent before (you to the judgment). Allah is no oppressor of (His) bondmen.

183. (The same are) those who say: Lo! Allah hath charged us that we believe not in any messenger until he bring us an offering which fire (from heaven) shall devour. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Messengers came unto you before me with miracles, and with that (very miracle) which ye describe. Why then did ye slay them? (Answer that) if ye are truthful

184. And if they deny thee, even so did they deny messengers who were before thee, who came with miracles and with the Psalms and with the Scripture giving light.

185. Every soul will taste of death. And ye will be paid on the Day of Resurrection only that which ye have fairly earned. Whoso is removed from the Fire and is made to enter Paradise, he indeed is triumphant. The life of this world is but comfort of illusion.

 

 

Surah 9. At-Tauba

1. Freedom from obligation (is proclaimed) from Allah and His messenger toward those of the idolaters with whom ye made a treaty:

2. Travel freely in the land four months, and know that ye cannot escape Allah and that Allah will confound the disbelievers (in His guidance).

3. And a proclamation from Allah and His messenger to all men on the day of the Greater Pilgrimage that Allah is free from obligation to the idolaters, and (so is) His messenger. So, if ye repent, it will be better for you; but if ye are averse, then know that ye cannot escape Allah. Give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom to those who disbelieve.

4. Excepting those of the idolaters with whom ye (Muslims) have a treaty, and who have since abated nothing of your right nor have supported anyone against you. (As for these), fulfill their treaty to them till their term. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty (unto Him).

5. Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

6. And if anyone of the idolaters seeketh thy protection (O Muhammad) , then protect him so that he may hear the word of Allah; and afterward convey him to his place of safety. That is because they are a folk who know not.

7. How can there be a treaty with Allah and with His messenger for the idolaters save those with whom ye made a treaty at the Inviolable Place of Worship? So long as they are true to you, be true to them. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty.

8. How (can there be any treaty for the others) when, if they have the upper hand of you, they regard not pact nor honour in respect of you? They satisfy you with their mouths the while their hearts refuse. And most of them are wrong doers.

9. They have purchased with the revelations of Allah a little gain, so they debar (men) from His way. Lo! evil is that which they are wont to do.

10. And they observe toward a believer neither pact nor honour. These are they who are transgressors.

11. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor due, then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge.

12. And if they break their pledges after their treaty (hath been made with you) and assail your religion, then fight the heads of disbelief Lo! they have no binding oaths in order that they may desist.

13. Will ye not fight a folk who broke their solemn pledges, and purposed to drive out the messenger and did attack you first? What! Fear ye them? Now Allah hath more right that ye should fear Him, if ye are believers.

14. Fight them! Allah will chastise them at your hands, and He will lay them low and give you victory over them, and He will heal the breasts of folk who are believers.

15. And He will remove the anger of their hearts. Allah relenteth toward whom He will. Allah is Knower, Wise.

16. Or deemed ye that ye would be left (in peace) when Allah yet knoweth not those of you who strive, choosing for familiar none save Allah and His messenger and the believers? Allah is Informed of what ye do.

17. It is not for the idolaters to tend Allah’s sanctuaries, bearing witness against themselves of disbelief. As for such, their works are vain and in the Fire they will abide.

18. He only shall tend Allah’s sanctuaries who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor due and feareth none save Allah. For such (only) is it possible that they can be of the rightly guided.

19. Count ye the slaking of a pilgrim’s thirst and tendance of the Inviolable Place of Worship as (equal to the worth of him) who believeth in Allah and the Last Day, and striveth in the way of Allah? They are not equal in the sight of Allah. Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

20. Those who believe, and have left their homes and striven with their wealth and their lives in Allah’s way are of much greater worth in Allah’s sight. These are they who are triumphant.

21. Their Lord giveth them good tidings of mercy from Him, and acceptance, and Gardens where enduring pleasure will be theirs;

22. There they will abide for ever. Lo! with Allah there is immense reward.

23. O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong doers.

24. Say: If your fathers, and your sons, and your brethren, and your wives, and your tribe, and the wealth ye have acquired, and merchandise for which ye fear that there will be no sale, and dwellings ye desire are dearer to you than

Allah and His messenger and striving in His way: then wait till Allah bringeth His command to pass. Allah guideth not wrong doing folk.

25. Allah hath given you victory on many fields and on the day of Huneyn, when ye exulted in your multitude but it availed you naught, and the earth, vast as it is, was straitened for you; then ye turned back in flight;

26. Then Allah sent His peace of reassurance down upon His messenger and upon the believers, and sent down hosts ye could not see, and punished those who disbelieved. Such is the reward of disbelievers.

27. Then afterward Allah will relent toward whom He will; for Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

28. O ye who believe! The idolaters only are unclean. So let them not come near the Inviolable Place of Worship after this their year. If ye fear poverty (from the loss of their merchandise) Allah shall preserve you of His bounty if He will.

Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise.

29. Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the religion of truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.

 

Surah 9. At-Tauba

 

78. Know they not that Allah knoweth both their secret and the thought that they confide, and that Allah is the Knower

of Things Hidden?

79. Those who point at such of the believers as give the alms willingly and such as can find naught to give but their

endeavours, and deride them Allah (Himself) derideth them. Theirs will be a painful doom.

80. Ask forgiveness for them (O Muhammad), or ask not forgiveness for them; though thou ask forgiveness for them

seventy times Allah will not forgive them. That is because they disbelieved in Allah and His messenger, and Allah

guideth not wrongdoing folk.

81. Those who were left behind rejoiced at sitting still behind the messenger of Allah, and were averse to striving with

their wealth and their lives in Allah’s way. And they said: Go not forth in the heat! Say: The heat of hell is more intense

of heat, if they but understood.

82. Then let them laugh a little: they will weep much, as the award of what they used to earn.

83. If Allah bring thee back (from the campaign) unto a party of them and they ask of thee leave to go out (to fight),

then say unto them: Ye shall never more go out with me nor fight with me against a foe. Ye were content with sitting

still the first time. So sit still, with the useless.

84. And never (O Muhammad) pray for one of them who dieth, nor stand by his grave. Lo! they disbelieved in Allah and

His messenger, and they died while they were evil-doers.

85. Let not their wealth nor their children please thee! Allah purposeth only to punish them thereby in the world, and

that their souls shall pass away while they are disbelievers.

86. And when a surah is revealed (which saith ) : Believe in Allah and strive along with His messenger,

 

Surah 9. At-Tauba

 

111. Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph.

112. (Triumphant) are those who turn repentant (to Allah), those who serve (Him), those who praise (Him), those who fast, these who bow down, those who fall prostrate (in worship), those who enjoin the right and who forbid the wrong and those who keep the limits (ordained) of Allah And give glad tidings to believers!

113. It is not for the Prophet, and those who believe, to pray for the forgiveness of idolaters even though they may be near of kin (to them) after it hath become clear that they are people of hell fire.

114. The prayer of Abraham for the forgiveness of his father was only because of a promise he had promised him, but when it had become clear unto him that he (his father) was an enemy to Allah he (Abraham) disowned him. Lo! Abraham was soft of heart, lone suffering.

115. It was never Allah’s (part) that he should send a folk astray after He had guided them until He had made clear unto them what they should avoid. Lo! Allah is Aware of all things.

116. Lo! Allah! Unto Him belongeth the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He quickeneth and He giveth death. And ye have, instead of Allah, no protecting friend nor helper.

117. Allah hath turned in mercy to the Prophet, and to the Muhajirin and the Ansar who followed him in the hour of hardship. After the hearts of a party of them had almost swerved aside, then turned He unto them in mercy. Lo! He is Full of Pity, Merciful for them.

118. And to the three also (did He turn in mercy) who were left behind: when the earth, vast as it is, was straitened for them, and their own souls were straitened for them till they bethought them that there is no refuge from Allah save toward Him. Then turned He unto them in mercy that they (too) might turn (repentant unto Him). Lo! Allah! He is the Relenting, the Merciful.

119. O ye who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah, and be with the truthful.

120. It is not for the townsfolk of Al-Madinah and for those there is none who can repel His bounty. He striketh with it whom He will of his bondmen. He is the Forgiving, the Merciful. around them of the wandering Arabs to stay behind the messenger of Allah and prefer their lives to his life. That is because neither thirst nor toil nor hunger afflicteth them in the way of Allah, nor step they any step that angereth the disbelievers, nor gain they from the enemy a gain, but a good deed is recorded for them therefor. Allah loseth not the wages of the good.

121. Nor spend they any spending, small or great, nor do they cross a valley, but it is recorded for them, that Allah may repay them the best of what they used to do.

122. And the believers should not all go out to fight. Of every troop of them, a party only should go forth, that they (who are left behind) may gain sound knowledge in religion, and that they may warn their folk when they return to them, so that they may beware.

123. O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).

124. And whenever a surah is revealed there are some of them who say: Which one of you hath thus increased in faith?

As for those who believe, it hath increased them in faith and they rejoice (therefor).

125. But as for those in whose hearts is disease, it only addeth wickedness to their wickedness, and they die while they are disbelievers.

126. See they not that they are tested once or twice in every year? Still they turn not in repentance, neither pay they heed.

127. And whenever a surah is revealed, they look one at another (as who should say) : Doth anybody see you? Then they turn away. Allah turneth away their hearts because they are a folk who understand not.

128. There hath come unto you a messenger, (one) of yourselves, unto whom aught that ye are overburdened is grievous, full of concern for you, for the believers full of pity, merciful.

129. Now, if they turn away (O Muhammad) say: Allah sufficeth me. There is no God save Him. In Him have I put my trust, and He is Lord of the Tremendous Throne.

 

 

38. Lo! Allah defendeth those who are true. Lo! Allah loveth not each treacherous ingrate.

39. Sanction is given unto those who fight because they have been wronged; and Allah is indeed Able to give them victory;

40. Those who have been driven from their homes unjustly only because they said: Our Lord is Allah. For had it not been for Allah’s repelling some men by means of others, cloisters and churches and oratories and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft mentioned, would assuredly have been pulled down. Verily Allah helpeth one who helpeth Him.

Lo! Allah is Strong, Almighty.

41. Those who, if We give them power in the land, establish worship and pay the poor due and enjoin kindness and forbid iniquity. And Allah’s is the sequel of events.

42. If they deny thee (Muhammad), even so the folk of Noah, and (the tribes of) Aad and Thamud, before thee, denied (Our messengers);

43. And the folk of Abraham and the folk of Lot;

44. (And) the dwellers in Midian. And Moses was denied; but I indulged the disbelievers a long while, then I seized them, and how (terrible) was My abhorrence!

45. How many a township have We destroyed while it was sinful, so that it lieth (to this day) in, and (how many) a deserted well and lofty tower!

46. Have they not travelled in the land, and have they hearts wherewith to feel and ears wherewith to hear? For indeed it is not the eyes that grow blind, but it is the hearts, which are within the bosoms, that grow blind.

47. And they will bid thee hasten on the Doom, and Allah faileth not His promise, but lo! a Day with Allah is as a the sand years of what ye reckon.

48. And how many a township did I suffer long though it was sinful! Than I grasped it. Unto Me is the return.

49. Say: O mankind! I am only a plain warner unto you.

50. Those who believe and do good works, for them pardon and a rich provision;

51. While those who strive to thwart Our revelations, such are rightful owners of the Fire.

52. Never sent We a messenger or a Prophet before thee but when He recited (the message) Satan proposed

(opposition) in respect of that which he recited thereof. But Allah abolisheth that which Satan proposeth. Then Allah establisheth His revelations. Allah is Knower, Wise;

53. That He may make that which the devil proposeth a temptation for those in whose hearts is a disease, and those whose hearts are hardened Lo! the evil doers are in open schism.

54. And that those who have been given knowledge may know that it is the truth from thy Lord, so that they may believe therein and their hearts may submit humbly unto Him. Lo! Allah verily is guiding those who believe unto a right path.

55. And those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt thereof until the Hour come upon them unawares, or there come unto them the doom of a disastrous day.

56. The Sovereignty on that day will be Allah’s. He will judge between them. Then those who believed and did good works will be in Gardens of Delight,

57. While those who disbelieved and denied Our revelations, for them will be a shameful doom.

58. Those who fled their homes for the cause of Allah and then were slain or died, Allah verily will provide for them a good provision. Lo! Allah, He verily is Best of all who make provision.

59. Assuredly He will cause them to enter by an entry that they will love. Lo! Allah verily is knower, Indulgent.

 

Surah 48. Al-Fat-h

14. And Allah’s is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He forgiveth whom He will, and punisheth whom He will. And Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

15. Those who were left behind will say, when ye set forth to capture booty: Let us go with you. They fain would change the verdict of Allah. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye shall not go with us. Thus hath Allah said beforehand. Then they will say: Ye are envious of us. Nay, but they understand not, save a little.

16. Say unto those of the wandering Arabs who were left behind: Ye will be called against a folk of mighty prowess, to fight them until they surrender; and if ye obey, Allah will give you a fair reward; but if ye turn away as ye did turn away before, He will punish you with a painful doom.

17. There is no blame for the blind, nor is there blame for the lame, nor is there blame for the sick (that they go not forth to war). And whoso obeyeth Allah and His messenger, He will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; and whoso turneth back, him will He punish with a painful doom.

18. Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory;

19. And much booty that they will capture. Allah is ever Mighty, Wise.

20. Allah promiseth you much booty that ye will capture, and hath given you this in advance, and hath withheld men’s hands from you, that it may be a token for the believers, and that He may guide you on a right path.

21. And other (gain), which ye have not been able to achieve, Allah will compass it. Allah is Able to do all things.

22. And if those who disbelieve join battle with you they will take to flight, and afterward they will find no protecting friend nor helper.

23. It is the law of Allah which hath taken course aforetime. Thou wilt not find for the law of Allah aught of power to change.

24. And He it is Who hat withheld men’s hands from you, and hath withheld your hands from them, in the valley of Makka, after He had made you victors over them. Allah is Seer of what ye do.

25. These it was who disbelieved and debarred you from the Inviolable Place of Worship, and debarred the offering from reaching its goal. And if it had not been for believing men and believing women, whom ye know not lest ye should tread them under foot and thus incur guilt for them unknowingly; that Allah might bring into His mercy whom He will. If (the believers and the disbelievers) had been clearly separated We verily had punished those of them who disbelieved with painful punishment.

Let the Quran Speak: Almighty Allah Is not a Moon “god”!

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

Christian missionary says: Allah is a moon god! and screamed… You are worshipping a moon god! PAGANS! but their claim is false the Almighty Allah is not an Idol as the moon “god” they claim

Surah 112. Al-Ikhlas

1. Say: He is Allah, the One!

2. Allah, the eternally Besought of all!

3. He begetteth not nor was begotten.

4. And there is none comparable unto Him.

The above verse Alone Answers them clearly nothing of creation is comparible to Allah as He is Incomparably Great! However Below we provide you with further evidence from the Holy Quran.

Surah 2. Al-Baqara

135. And they (Non-Believers) say: Be Jews or Christians, then ye will be rightly guided. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Nay, but (we follow) the religion of Abraham, the upright, and he was not of the idolaters. (i.e. does not pray to the creation)

136. Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto Us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob. and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, add that which the Prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.

Surah 7. Al-A’raf

54. Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then mounted He the Throne. He covereth the night with the day, which is in haste to follow it, and hath made the sun and “the moon“ and the stars subservient by His command. His verily is all creation and commandment Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!

We have met many Christian missionaries who have brandished an accusing fingure saying that Allah the only real Illah (Diety) that Muslims believe in is really a moon god. This delusional thought or let’s call what it really is, a myth was postulated by a certain Robert Morey who’s arguments have been clinically or rather scholarly dissected at http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Sources/Allah/moongod.html . The expose’ was authored by MSM Saifullah, Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi and Abdullah David. I think they have done an excellent job at presenting a sound rebuttal from an archeological standpoint bringing much clarity to the controversy. In this brief article of Ibn Anwar we shall not be going through the arguments proposed by Robert Morey and his cohorts. Rather we shall have a look at what the primary source of Islam says concerning the matter. Let the Qur’an speak for itself and we shall see whether the Muslims are worshipping a moon god or not.

 

“When he saw the moon rising in splendor He said: “This is my Lord.” but when the moon set he said: Unless my Lord guide me I shall surely be among those who go astray.” (6:77)

The context of the above verse is regarding Abraham who’s on a personal spiritual journey. He was trying to find out who his real god was because he refused to buy in the superstitions and paganistic leanings of his people. Whilst gazing at the sky during his period of spiritual enquiry he witnessed the brilliance of the moon and thought that perhaps that was his god, but later decided against the notion as it began to wane and eventually disappear. The verse is definitive proof against moon worshipping as Abraham who is accepted and known as the chosen prophet of Allah rejected it.

“Allah is He, who created the sun, the moon, and the stars (all) governed by laws under His commandment.” (7:54)

“It is Allah Who hath created the heavens and the earth and sendeth down rain from the skies……… He has made subject to you, the night and the day; the sun and the moon; and the stars in subjection by His command.” (14:32-33)

“He has made subject to you, the night and the day; the sun and the moon; and the stars in subjection by His command.” (16:12)

The above three passages vividly shows that Allah is the Lord of the universe who created both the sun and the moon and made them subservient to Him. How then can anyone even suggest that the moon is the one who created and made it subservient to Him?

The verses presented and others like them throughout the Qur’an are sufficient proof that Muslims eschew the idea of worshipping the moon. It is totally forbidden in Islam to worship anything that is in this universe for worship is solely for the Creator who is not in His creation.

If the Christians are still adamant to say that Allah is a moon god then I would ask that they extend their accusation that we are moon worshippers to their Arab Christian brethren. What do I mean? Well let us see what the Bible in the Arabic language says about God,

فِي الْبَدْءِ خَلَقَ اللهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ

وَكَانَتِ الأَرْضُ خَرِبَةً وَخَالِيَةً، وَعَلَى وَجْهِ الْغَمْرِ ظُلْمَةٌ، وَرُوحُ اللهِ يَرِفُّ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمِيَاهِ

وَقَالَ اللهُ: «لِيَكُنْ نُورٌ»، فَكَانَ نُورٌ.

Those are verses one to three of Genesis 1 from Van Dyke’s Arabic Bible. In case you cannot read Arabic the word in question is the one that is underlined. The word is spelled as alif lam lam ha which gives us ALLAH! So do the Arab Christians worship a moon god? As a matter of fact, we find that the word Allah is retained in the Malay Bible even though a more accurate word in the language is tuhan for god.

1. Pada mulanya Allah menciptakan langit dan bumi.

2. Bumi belum berbentuk dan kosong; gelap gelita menutupi samudera raya, dan roh Allah melayang-layang atas permukaan air.

3. Berfirmanlah Allah: “Jadilah terang” Lalu terang itu jadi.

There are several millions of Malay Christians in Indonesia..they must be worshipping a moon god huh?(note the sarcasm)

I think any reasonable person including Christians can agree that after looking at the available information to say that Allah is a moon god is totally silly.

Is Allah a new name invented by the Arabs?

In Hebrew the word used for God in the first instance is elohim (Gen. 1:1). The ending -iym is usually understood as the masculine plural suffix. The word is pronounced in such a way (eloah) because of the addition of the vowels chataf, segol and chirik. What you should know is that in the Hebrew alphabet there are no vowels. Vowelisation was a later addition to the language. That means if the present vowel points were removed the word can actually be pronounced as Alah instead of Eloah. The word is just a lamed (for the letter L in Hebrew) away from the Arabic Allah. In fact, the pronunciation Alah is probably better than Eloah considering the fact that in Aramaic (its sister language) the word cognates as Alah (ܐܠܗ) which is pronounced  exactly like Allah as it is shown in Mel Gibson’s The Passion.  Thus if you read the Aramaic or Syriac texts of the Bible you will come across Alah (Allah) time and again as a word used for the Almighty. Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are closely related to each other. They are considered semitic languages.

 

Is Yahweh(YHWH) The Almighty’s one and true name instead of Allah?

The word Yahweh is spelled in Hebrew as יהוה (Yod, Hey, Waw, Hey = YHWH ). Encyclopedia Brittanica has this to say about the word,

“Yahweh is not a Hebrew name.” (Encyclopedia Brittanica, 11th Ed., Volume 15, page 321)

Pastor Dr. Cohen G. Reckart says,

“Yahweh is a guess name and is not the name of the true Diety. Yahweh as it is spelled is not a Hebrew name for the Almighty.”

In fact, scholars have been at it trying to discover the “correct” pronunciation of the word or tetragrammaton as it is sometimes called which means four letter word. The Jehovah’s Witnesses and others have latinised the word into Jehovah. But, is Jehovah reall a latinisation of Yahweh? If you look carefully it actually is not. Let’s take a simple example. Jesus is a latinised form of its original Greek iesus. Though the Greek and its latinised form are not exact they are quite similar. Jehovah on the other hand is a total reinvention of YHWH. It is not latinised from Yahweh. A latinised form for Yahweh would sound something like Jahveh. But, Jehovah seems to be latinised from Yehowah. Yehowah is one of many different forms the so called tetragrammaton YHWH have been pronounced throughout the ages. Now look at the word Yisrael and Israel, I’m sure this will put your thoughts on a path for a bit.

I do not recall who first came up with the idea of saying Yahweh, but Wilhelm Gesenius in 1815 is credited for supposedly making a good case for it. Prior to Gesenius the pronunciation was virtually unheard of by most people and not argued for by the scholars. Josephus who is often quoted by Christians to prove Jesus says in Jewish Wars, chapter 5, verse 235,”τὰ ἱερὰ γράμματα· ταῦτα δ’ ἐστὶ φωνήεντα τέσσαρα” which basically means that the holy name has “four vowels”. The tetragrammaton that we are familiar with is YHWH. Does that consist of four vowels? What’s the W doing there? In G.H. Parke-Taylor’s work Yahweh: The Divine Name in the Bible, on page 79 he mentions that Genebrardus in 1567 suggested the pronunciation Jahve. The Samaritans’ pronunciation was Iabe. Codex Leningard dated to 1008 C.E. has several different vowels for the four letter word thus rendering YHWH into Yehwah, Yehowah and Yehwih. And there are so many other different pronunciations proposed by both Jews and Christians. So which is it? Is it Yahweh, Yehowah, Jehovah, Iabe, Jahve, Yehwih, Yehwah or what? Could it be that YHWH isn’t really God’s real name? The Christians argue that the pronunciation is lost because the Jews were so adamant in not using it out loud that in time they forgot the actual word and how it is suppose to be pronounced. The Jews had the belief that it was blasphemy to utter God’s name out loud. When asked what exactly is this based on i.e. is it based on some scripture? They cannot answer. There is just not a single verse in the entire Bible that explicitly prohibits the mentioning of God’s name out loud. This is a thin excuse for an invention of a name that isn’t really God’s.

One of the proof texts adduced for YHWH is the famous Exodus 3:15. But, does it really support the idea that the Almighty’s name is YHWH or Yahweh? The immediate context begins in verse 13,

“And Moses said unto Allah: ‘Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them: The Illah of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me: What is His name? what shall I say unto them?’ “

So Moses goes out of his way to ask Allah what He should say His name is in case the people of Israel were to ask for it. To which Allah answered,

“And Allah answer unto Moses is: ‘Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh I am who I am, I will be where I will be; The link explains the matter further and gives you the name of the Almighty, It’s not the verse where the tetragrammaton YHWH is found which is verse 15. Remember the question asked by Moses? The question was what if the children of Israel were to ask the name of the one who has sent me (paraphrase) and Allah answered Him, Thus we read in verse 12, “vayomer kieheye” which is translated as, “And He said, ‘certainly I will be…”. I and I am, I will be is clearly part of the answer given to Moses’ question concerning His name was not YHWH but rather Allah as Moses had always knew Him by. Allah did not say, “Tell them, YHWH has sent me to you.” He said, “I am the Lord of…. The Prophets mentioned in the continuation of that verse who all also knew the Almighty as Allah, It is safe then to conclude that the shem or name that the is Allah not YHWH. However, let us say for the sake of argument that it is really YHWH in verse 15 that is really His name. Then the verse tells us that, “This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations.” As we have seen they have all but forgotten the name so much so that they don’t even know how it is supposed to be pronounced! If that is so how can YHWH be that name which is supposed to be remembered forever for all generations? The only name Alah (Allah) is the eternal Name for our Lord Almighty.

Pastor Dr. Cohen mentioned earlier also says,

“A Yahweh believer is any person who believes Yhwh (the tetragrammaton name of Baal) pronounced Yahweh, is the name of the Almighty.”

Finally, here is the MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION for all of you Yahweh Christian believers out there. Where in the world did Jesus teach anyone that the Almighty’s name is YHWH? In fact, in the Aramaic text of John 17:3 the word used is pretty clear and that is ܐܠܗ (Allah).

“ALLAH, there is no god but He; His are the most beautiful names.” (Qur’an 20:8)

UMN Fatwa: Hijab Niqab Fard Obligatory

UMN Fatwa: Hijab Niqab Fard Obligatory

UMN Intl Fatwa Department (Global Affairs)

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

 

I want to shed some light on the subject so let’s start with the Surah of Quran Surah An-Nur (Light); the Almighty Allah speaks here to the Muminun (True Believers)

 

Surah An-Nur (Light)

“30. Inform the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That is purer for them. Lo! Allah is aware of what they do. 31. And inform the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment but only to their husbands or fathers or husbands fathers, or their sons or husbands sons, or their brothers, or their brothers sons, or their sisters sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack vigor, or children who know nothing of women’s nakedness. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn unto Allah together, O believers, in order that you may succeed.”

 

Fatwa by Al-Faarooq supported by the UMN governing body (UMN Ulama-e-Haqq):

 

The Almighty Allah clearly commands us to inform “believing men and believing women” i.e. True Muslims to lower their gaze and since this is a command from Allah I tell you both men and women lower your gaze and be modest (reserved i.e. to remain respectfully clothed), Allah is All-Aware of what we do so be mindful of this commandment from Allah it is a means of spiritual purification for us but only people of understanding will truly heed. The Almighty Allah’s commandment continues that we are to inform the believing women “The True Muslima” to display of their beauty only of that which is noticeable and that they are to cover themselves with their veils over their bosoms and Allah commands that they are only allowed to expose such of their beauty only to their husbands, their fathers, husbands father, their sons, husbands sons, their brothers, brothers sons, their sisters sons, or their women or slaves and male attendants who lack vigor or children who have no knowledge of a woman’s nakedness. A woman’s nakedness in Islaam is her beauty including her face, (The Face is Part of Woman’s Adornment/ Beautification) The Almighty Allah commands us further to refuse the rebellion of women who wants to reveal parts of their beauty openly, the Almighty Allah then calls us the True believing Muslim men and women to turn to Him in Unity so that we may become successful i.e. to receive spiritual purification of the heart, mind body and soul thus gaining His Mercy by means of pleasing Him in obeying His commandments of Hijab upon us. Both the true believing Muslim men and women should support this Fatwa and should uphold the law of Hijab. To understand this even better you are required to do the Wajib (compulsory) act of studying the Holy Quran and will soon realize the theme of Al-Quran which is that it clearly explains itself over and over, the Almighty Allah specifically makes mention of “True believing Muslim men and Women” Mumineen as can be seen in the above quoted verse. The Mumineen (True Believers) has distinct qualities from the hypocrites (frauds) of Islaam, simply look at:

 

Surah Al-Muminun

“1. Successful indeed are the true believers 2. Who are (patiently) humble in their prayers, 3. And who shun vain conversation, And who are payers of the poor due (they give Zakat), 5. And who guard their modesty (observe Hijab) 6. But only from their wife’s or the (slaves) that their right hands possess, for them they are not blameworthy, 7. But for him who craves beyond that, such are transgressors, 8. And who are shepherds of thee pledge and their covenant, 9. And who pay heed to their prayers. 10. These are the heirs 11. Who will inherit Paradise: There they will abide.”

 

“28. He (Allah) knows the mistrust of the eyes and that which the heart conceals.”

 

There is no need to provide further evidence Allah’s Guidance of Al-Quran is sufficient Surah Al-Maidah 5:44 “Whoso does not judge by what Allah has revealed (The Holy Quran), such are the Kaafirun” Saint Al-Faarooq therefore only makes Judgement from that which Allah revealed but just for interest sake below we provide you with further evidence in support of this Fatwa from the well known scholars of Islaam in a breakdown of historic commentary and many Hadith-e-Haqq. People who oppose this Fatwa are in clear manifest error and delusional in their so called study of the Deen and their self proclaimed Grand Mufti statuses such people’s views are commonly associated with Baatil (Fabrication). As Muslims we are ordered to be different from the Kufaar (non-Muslims), in the light of Hadith Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa’salaam said: “He who imitates a nation is of that nation.”

 

Narated Safuya bint Shaiba: “Aisha R used to say: When (the verse of Hijab/ Niqab was revealed) i.e. that they (the women) should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms they (the ladies) had cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their faces with the cur pieces [Bukhari]

 

For further proof of Haqq pertaining to Hadith visit http://seekingilm.com/seekingilms-research/niqab

 

It is evident from the above that women without the Niqab (Purda) of the Hijab rules are a disgrace and an open embarrassment to Islaam, they have no shame or modesty and upon their faces there is no honor for Islaam but the sign of enticing devils is the makeup of their attraction. As true Muslims the command of Allah is that we impose His law “And let them not stamp their feet (rebel) so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment.” The Standing of Quran is above all and it is enough proof, therefore no need to dispute an indisputable matter which Allah hath made clear.

The Enemies of Islam

 

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

All praise is due to Allah. We praise Him and seek His aid and forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evil in ourselves and from our bad deeds. He whom Allah guides cannot be led astray, and he who is led astray cannot be guided. I bear witness that there is no Illah (Deity) other than Allah alone, without partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

The Enemies of Islaam has only one mission which is to deceive Muslims and rob us from our rights, our lands and our resources, we are the slaves of the Almighty Allah and our enemies wants to make us their slaves, they desire to rule us and rape us in every filthy way they see fit, our enemies hate Islaam they hate the Holy Quran, they hate our beloved Nabi Sallallahu Alahi Wa’salaam in no possible way can they be considered as friends of ours, they will deceive you with lies and fake actions just to bend you over. The prise for them is always delivered by a sliced delusional opinion of the hypocritical thought to be leaders, who are nothing but the same as our enemies; they (the hypocrites) through their ignorance and stupidity justify the invasions of our enemies in our homes by calling it liberation how on earth is killing our own people and having our enemies kill our brothers and sisters a liberation? Islamic liberation is when we are rid from oppressors and have freedom to fully practice our religion and engage in Jihad when the compulsory need arises.

We have to destroy this evil in our neighbourhoods because they do not belong there, it is not their place and they are not wanted or needed here they are not of us. If our enemies had any intention of moving towards world peace and harmony they would not have invaded our lands and mingle in the matters which concerns Muslims only, but instead they want to house their own thoughts on us by force and by lies, they lure and win over those already not associated with Islaam I make reference to the hypocrites who sits at the negotiating table with their friends our enemies.

Our enemies have been for many years in a prolonged campaign against what they openly call Islamic fundamentalists which in fact clearly mean that they are fully against the basis of Islaam in its original form, they want to implement their Kufr laws upon us instead of the divine law the Shariah of Allah, the fact is true that Islaam is a threat its enemies because the establishment of True Islaam and the housing of the Global Islamic State would mean that they lose power in world affairs, if our enemies gets an upper hand over us and ends up controlling and owning our lands, resources and our people they will then turn and engage immediately in an all our war with the land of Russiastan (Russia) by meddling in the affairs of Moscow and if the people of Russiastan do not approve of their meddling they (our enemies) will by force try and make them bend over to their rule, as for the lands of Africa and South Ameracastan are nor considered as threats but are seen as walkover slaves to our enemies who have been enslaving these lands for many years whereas we have been fighting for their liberation and not just theirs but the liberation of the entire world by means of true peace and justice and the perfect and beautiful governance of Islamic Shariah which places all of mankind as equal.

 

As Muslims we are not to make friendship agreements with our enemies nor security agreements with them, those who befriend them are of them.

And for those who are ignorant of the words “Our Enemies” they will not be included under the protection of the UMN
