Reminders Benefit Us

I

"He has so many creations, and yet He never forgets me, but I only have one Creator, and I've forgotten him countless times."

~ Abdar-Rahman Ibn Nasir As Sa'adi ~


Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 1, Number 1 :

Narrated by 'Umar bin Al-Khattab
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."




Shaytaan seeks to make you wallow in thoughts of the past that you cannot change and rob you of your future that he has no control of in the process. Turn to Him who forgives and loves to forgive and ask Him as He loves to be asked. 

A Relationship with Allah is the Most Important Relationship you can have ; trust Allah, Make Dua and Everything will Always turn out Fine, In sha Allah.

[R.S]

Expectation with Allah 100% , Expectation with dunya 0%

"Sadness begins when you abandon the Salaah and confusion takes over when you neglect the Qur'an!!"

Allah always has something for you, a key for every problem, a light for every shadow, a relief for every sorrow and a plan for every tomorrow.
"Patience is that the heart does not feel anger towards that which is destined & that the mouth does not complain."
- Ibn Qayyim

Have Patience!

“Be patient at all times and in all places, for patience leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise.

Do not become angry and furious, for those two emotions lead to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Hellfire.”

~ Sufyan al-Thawri Rahimahullah



“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

‎"Nothing hurts a good soul and the kind heart more than to live amongst people who can't understand it."{Ali Ibn Abi Taalib radiyAllahu'anh u}
‎|♥ Do not walk proudly on
the earth; your feet cannot
tear apart the earth nor are
you as tall as the mountains|♥
(Quran 17:37)

I love Allah ; but Allah loves me more


The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:
“The people of Paradise will not have any regrets except for those moments in which they were not engaged in the dhikr (remembrance) of Allaah.“
[Saheeh, related by lbnus-Sunnee in 'Aml al-Yawma wal-Laylah (no.3). Refer to Saheehul-Jaami' no.5446]




Messenger (Sallalahu Alaiyhi Wassalam) said, "Richness does not lie in the abundance of wordly goods, but Richness is the Richness of the soul (Heart) "
[Muslim] 
Jihad
"Be patient, if you miss out on something you really wanted, there's a reason for it. ALLAH has better plans for you ♥

Death is not the greatest loss in life, the greatest loss is what dies inside (your Emaan) while your still alive.

Astaghfirullaaha wa 'atoobu 'ilayhi. ♥

Ibn  al qayyum said
He who acts without knowledge causes more corruption than good,
and he who does not consider his speech to be part of his actions sins repeatedly.
Satisfaction is scarce, and the true believer should rely on patience.
Allah never bestowed a blessing upon one of His servants and then took it away from him, giving him patience in return for that which was taken away,
except that the replacement was better than what was taken away from him.”

Then he recited the following verse:

“Surely the patient will be paid their wages in full without reckoning.” [39:10]

Reported by Abu Hurairah (RA): Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "It is better for anyone of you to carry a bundle of wood on his back and sell it than to beg of someone whether he gives him or refuses.'' [Bukhari and Muslim]


The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:
“The people of Paradise will not have any regrets except for those moments in which they were not engaged in the dhikr (remembrance) of Allaah.“

‎"Sometimes when people insult you, your only option is to leave it for the Almighty to deal with them . . ."


Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "When Allah completed the creation, He wrote in His Book which is with Him on His Throne, "My mercy overpowers My Anger."

(Sahih Bukhari)


You want to hurt me because you think I am alone,
Don't ever think I am alone,
Allah is always with me. Alhamdulilah !!!
Allah says in Quran:
"'And indeed, We have created man, and We know what his own self whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein."'
(Surah Qaf: 16)


Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Shall I inform you which woman will enter Paradise?” The Sahaba replied: “Yes, most certainly.” Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “The woman who has children, is lovable, when she becomes angry the husband consoles her, and when the husband becomes angry she says that as long as you do not become pleased with me, I will not even apply surmah (antimony) to my eyes.” [Tibrani]

“If a person is sincere towards Allah in all his affairs, Allah will give him more than He gives to others, and this sincerity results from true love of Allah and true trust in Him. So the most sincere of people is the one who loves Allah most and puts the most trust in Him.” ♥

~Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) 



The Prophet (sallAllahu Alyhi wasallam) said:
• °ღ • “No one of you truly believes until I am dearer to him than his father, his son, his own self and all the people.” • °ღ •
[al-Bukhaari, Muslim]

✦ STRIVE FOR CHANGE ✦

If you need change in your life, Seek Allâh!!! for He is the true essence of peace and happiness. After that strive for change, ask Allâh for help and guidance, for He will never fail nor misguide you.



Sahl bin `Abdillâh al-Tustarî was once asked, “What is that which is most difficult for the soul [to attain]?” He answered, “Ikhlâs, because [the self] does not get anything out of it.”


If u don't thank ALLAH for every smile than u have no right to complain about every tear.

If Allah has written HAPPINESS for you, then no one on earth can rob you of this. And if Allah has written for your heart to be BROKEN, then no one will be able to Remedy it except Him.



"When you lose motivation,where’s the motivation gonna come from? - The Qur'an.when you’re lonely,where’s the companionship gonna come from? - The Qur'an. It’s gonna be your companion,if you let it be. And the more you allow it to be,the more you will see its benefits. "- Nouman Ali Khan

When you sin you are punished by your sin, repent to Allah immediately so you will not be punished for it also.

Happy

Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you, for none can harm you except if Allah wills

Ibn Abbas reported: I was behind the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, one day when he said to me, “O young man, I will teach you some words; be mindful of Allah and He will protect you; be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you; when you ask, ask from Allah; and when you seek help, seek help from Allah; know that if the entire creation were to gather together to benefit you, then would not benefit you except if Allah willed; and if the entire creation gathered together to harm you, they would not harm you except if Allah willed; the pens have been raised and the pages dried.”

[Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Book of Resurrection, Number 2516, Sahih]


“Among deeds, there are four that are most difficult to adorn oneself with:

1) Forgiveness when Angry;
2) Generosity in hard times;
3) Chastity when alone; And
4) Speaking the truth to the one that fears it”

‎"I will not calm down until I put one cheek of a tyrant on the ground and the other under my feet, and for the poor and the weak, I will put my cheek on the ground." - Umar ibn Al Khattab (RA) SubhanAllaah!!
Bilad al Shaam 
A paragraph from the last press release of Jabhat Al-Nusra:"We in Jabhat Al-Nusra will work tirelessly and as long as there is blood running in our veins, towards establishing the Second Righteous Khilafah. O people of Ash-Sham we will defend you and will continue to fight the Fir'aun (the Assad regime). The West is shaking in fear of the establishment of the Khilafah, so let us work hand in hand towards establishing it in Al-Sham, for indeed we can see its signs forthcoming through victories in Homs and others."
 •- When we are STRESSED, we listen to music instead of listening to the Qur'an.
 •- When we feel SAD, we cry to our friends instead of crying to Allah.
 •- When we feel ANGRY, we scream instead of doing wudhoo.
 •- When we feel EMPTY, we go watch a movie instead of reflecting on the words of Allah. 
•- When we feel CHEATED, we plan to take revenge instead of having patience. 
•- When we don't LIKE another Muslim, we gossip about them instead of loving for the sake of Allah.
 •- When we need INSPIRATION, we look into the lives of the wealthy instead of the lives of those who have been promised paradise. 


•- Why do we look for PEACE and HAPPINESS in all the wrong places ? Do we not understand that engaging in the wrong behavior will only make matters worse?

‎'It is better for a man to give one dirham as Sadaqa during his life time than to give hundred at the time of his death.'
(Abu Dawood)

It was related that a man said to Haatim al Asam:

“You are a non-Arab who cannot speak fluently, but no one has debated you except that you silenced him, so how do you defeat your opponents?”

He said: “With three:

1. I am pleased when my opponent is correct,

2. I am sad when he is incorrect,

3. And I preserve my tongue from saying anything that offends him."

Al Imaam Ahmad stated: “What a wise man he is.”

Al Khateeb al Baghdaadee stated: “A person’s intention should be to clarify the truth when debating, not to defeat his opponent.”

Al Imaam ash Shaafi’ee said: “I did not debate anyone while hoping that he would err.”

He also said: “I never spoke to anyone except that I hoped that he would be granted success and supported. I never spoke to anyone except that I didn’t mind whether Allaah clarified the truth upon my tongue or his.”

Al Hafidh ibn Rajab comments: “This indicates that he did not have any intention except the clarification of the truth, even if it were from the person who is debating and contradicting him. Whoever is of this state would not dislike it when his opinions are refuted and when his contradiction to the Sunnah is clarified, not while alive or after his death. This is also what we think of the other Imaams of Islaam, those who defended Islaam and supported it whether they were from the Salaf or those who came after them. They also never used to dislike those who contradicted them as long as they were following evidence, even though the evidence was not strong enough for them to follow or leave their own evidence for.”

Religion over Culture


“Do not talk for long without remembering Allah, for talking much without remembering Allah is hardness of the heart. The most distant amongst Men from Allah is one with a hardened heart.”

—Reported by At-Tirmidhi,

Boasting about your sins...

Speaking about your sin and flaunting it openly in front of your friends is haraam, and is a major sin. It is one of the ways of spreading immorality among the Muslims, encouraging evil and tempting others to do similar things. It also means that one does not take sin seriously and regards it as insignificant, and that the sinner is damaging his own reputation and exposing his honour to the slander of others. Islam seeks to put people off from doing such things in the strongest possible terms, as in the following hadeeth:

Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (saws) say: “All of my ummah will be forgiven except those who sin openly. It is a part of sinning openly when a man does something at night, then the following morning when Allaah has concealed his sin, he says, ‘O So and so, I did such and such last night,’ when all night his Lord has concealed him and the next morning he uncovers what Allaah had concealed.” (Bukhari & Muslim)


‎" Whoever speaks evil about you behind your back, do not become angry for they are in reality giving you their good deeds on a Golden Plate "

[Hasan Al-Basri]

Subhanallah, may Allah forgive us for the amount of times we have backbited / slandered someone, and for Allah to make us better Muslims, those who dont pass on good deeds to others due to our bad habits.
Ameen



Do not abandon dua due to what you know of your sins for verily Allah answered the dua of Iblis and he's the worst of creation"~-Sufyan ibn Uyainah rahimahullah
No man is a true believer unless he desires for his brother that, what he desires for himself." (Abu Hamza Anas: Bukhari & Muslim)

"When proven wrong, the wise man will correct himself and the ignorant will keep arguing."

Ali (R.A)



Gossips are worse than thieves because they steal another person's dignity, honor, reputation and credibility which are impossible to restore. So remember this: when your feet slip, you can always recover your balance; but when your tongue slips, you cannot recover your words.
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: The Prophet (saw) said, "A Muslim is the one who avoids harming Muslims with his tongue and hands.
[Bukhari, Book:Belief, hadith#9]


The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, amazing is the affairs of a believer! They are all for his good; and this merit is for no one except a believer: If he is granted ease of living, he is grateful, and this is best for him; and if he is afflicted with hardship, he perseveres, and this is best for him." (Muslim)

You are not aware of the consequences that would result (if you were granted what you desire) because what you seek might be to your detriment. (O soul) be conscious that your Master is more aware about your well-being than you are.
- Ibn Al-Jawzi


“When you see a female dressed in a manner that is unacceptable islamically, do not for a moment think that she is lower than you spiritually. If you do that, you are lower than her. Believe me, that is the teaching of your religion. She might have a link with her creator that you do not know about. She might have a heart that is tons better than yours. She might have one weakness that is outward, and you have 50 weaknesses that are hidden.”

- Mufti Ismail Menk.

The beauty of Jihad


We love, admire and love & admire the spirit of the Syrian people. They are simply amazing. The banner held by two brave boys in besieged Homs reads:

"We don't want anyone to worry about the Syrian people!
For if they die, they die as martyrs.. and if they stay they will live to be victorious"
Steadfast Homs 25/01/2013



The Justice of Islam:

We reproduce here three letters from the time of the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them all!) outlining the justice that can only come from the proper implementation of Islam.

1. The first letter: Written by The Commander in Chief of the Army of the Faithful, the great Sahabi Khalid b. al-Walid (Allah be pleased with him) -

“He wrote: In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful.

This is what Khalid b. al-Walid shall grant to the people of Damascus: He shall grant them protection [and safety] for their lives, property [and possessions], their churches, the walls of their cities. Nothing of their quarters will be destroyed nor shall anyone live in them. This they shall have as a pact of Allah, protection from his Messenger (SAW), from the Caliphs as well as from the Believers and nothing but good will remain for them if they pay the jizyah.” [1]

2. The second letter: Written by the Sahabi Habib b. Maslamah (Allah be pleased with him) wherein a treaty with the people of Dabil was concluded. He wrote:

“In the name of Allah the beneficent the merciful. This is a document from Habib b. Maslamah to the Christians, Magians and Jews of Dabil, present and absent. I assure you safety of your lives, properties, churches, places of worship and walls of your city. You are guaranteed protection and we are bound to fulfill our pact as long as you adhere to the jizyah and pay the kharaj. Allah is witness and He alone suffices as a witness”. [2]

3. The third letter: From the distinguished companion, might and strength of Islam, the khalifah and leader of the Faithful `Umar b. al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) who wrote to the people of al-Quds (Jerusalem) saying:

“This is the assurance of safety (aman) which the servant of God `Umar, the Commander of the Faithful, has granted to the people of Jerusalem. He has given them an assurance of safety for themselves, for their property, their churches, their crosses, the sick and the healthy of the city, and for all the rituals that belong to their religion. Their churches will not be inhabited [by Muslims] and will not be destroyed. Neither they, nor the land on which they stand, nor their crosses, nor their property will be damaged. They will not be forcibly converted [ ... ] The people of Jerusalem must pay the poll tax like the people of [other] cities, and they must expel the Byzantines and the robbers [ ... ]. All this from the book they shall have as a pact of Allah, protection from his Messenger (SAW), from the Caliphs as well as from the Believers if they pay the jizyah. Witnessing this is: Khalid b. Walid, `Amr b. al-`As, `Abd al-Rahman b. `Awf and Mu`awiya b. Abi Sufyan. It was written with all present 15th Hijra.” [3]




When Muhammad Asad (author of road to makkah) met Umar al- Mukhtar, these are the Accounts of his men describing the atrocities of the Italian colonisers. It is no different to what is happening to the Afghani, Iraqi, syrian people today. A whole century on absolutely nothing has changed!

"Their fighter planes flew at a very low level and pounded all the houses, mosques and palm gardens. We Only had a few hundred men who could take up arms; the rest were women children and old men. We defended ourselves house by house but they were more powerful than we were. Our rifles could do nothing against their armoured vehicles. I hid myself in the gardens of palm trees, watching through a chance to break through the Italian lines. All through the night I could hear the moaning of women who were being raped by the Italian and eriterean soldiers.

The following day, an old woman bought me some water and bread and told me the Italian general had gathered all the people who has survived the massacre, before the grave of shaikh Muhammad al Mahdi and tore a copy of the Quran up in front of their eyes, threw it on the ground and stepped on it, shouting: "Ask your prophet to help you now, if he can!". He ordered the destruction of all trees in the oasis and water wells. He burnt all the books in the library of our sheikhs, before executing all the scholars by dropping them down from a flying aircraft."
When the man had finished his horrifying story, Sheikh Umar al-Mukhtar drew next to me and gently repeated his words: " You see now, my son, we are truly coming to our end. We are fighting because it is our duty to fight for the sake of our deen and our freedom, until we expel the invaders or die; we have no other choice . We belong to Allah and to Him we return."

"We swear by Allah besides whom no deity is to be worshipped, that only we will pick the fruits which grew from the trees watered from the blood of our brothers. We will tread their path until we establish the Islamic State, the Prophet Caliphate, until we establish the laws of Allah or until our blood mixes with theirs.. By Allah, imprisonment has only increased our determination and steadfastness for our beliefs, for which we set out, fought Jihaad and were imprisoned."

- Deputy Commander of Ansar al-Shariah in Yemen, Abu Sufyan al-Shihri, ex-prisoner of Guantanamo حفظه الله


“If you’re not driven by principles, you’re in a prison. The most dangerous jails are the ones where you cannot see the bars.”




‎"Indeed Islamic history is not written except with the blood of the shuhadaa, except with the stories of the shuhadaa and except with the examples of the shuhadaa." {Abdullah Azzam}

“Jihad must not be abandoned until Allah Alone is worshipped. Jihad continues until Allah’s word is raised high. Jihad until all the oppressed people are freed. Jihaad to protect our dignity and restore our occupied lands. Jihad is the way of everlasting glory.” {Abdullah Azzam}
“Muslims can never be defeated by others. We Muslims are not defeated by our enemies, but instead, we are defeated by our own selves.” {Abdullah Azzam}

"The first obligation after Iman is the repulsion of the enemy aggressor who assaults the religion and the worldly affairs." {Ibn Taymiyyah – Al-Fatawa Al-Kubara 6/608}

“The defensive jihad, which is repelling an aggressor, is the most tasking type of jihad. As agreed by everyone, it is obligatory to protect the religion and what is sacred. The first obligation after iman is the repulsion of the enemy aggressor who assaults the religion and the worldly affairs. {Ibn Taymiyyah}

Ibn Taymiyyah said: “every group which rebels against a law of the clear Islamic Shariah, must be fought by the consensus of all the imams of the Muslims, even if they pronounce the shahaadah (declaration of faith). (Al-Fataawa: 28/510)

AND SO OUR BROTHERS IN SHAAM! ARE UPON THIS GREAT OBLIGATION!! MAY ALLAAH PERFECT THEIR AIM. MURHIBAL KAFEER MUIZAL MUSLIMIN AAAAAMEEN!!

"I hope to be with you in Jannah if we don't meet again in this world"

Words of Sheikh Mustafa Majzoub about his wife. Subhan'Allah:

"Wallahi, if there is anyone I'd like to describe as a warrior and a hero, it'll be my wife Rawya (Umm Amaar) she made the great sacrifice of sending her husband across the oceans and the lands, she gave up her comfort of being close to her husband for the sake of benefiting people she never met, she carried the risk of never seeing her husban...d again in this world, she carried the heavy load of looking after our 3 children alone and never complained. Wallahi when she found out I'm travelling far away she didn't complain once, rather she only said "I hope to be with you in Jannah if we don't meet again in this world" and she said to me not to worry about my children and that she'll never marry anyone again if I was to be martyred. I thank her for everything and I thank Allah from the bottom of my heart for blessing me with her and I ask Allah to reward her immensely for being the best friend I could ever have.

Wallahi I would never think of having any other wife second to her because "She's all I can ask for".

"Jihad must not be abandoned until Allah (SWT) Alone is worshipped. Jihad continues until Allah's Word is raised high. Jihad until all the oppressed people are freed. Jihad to protect our dignity and restore our occupied lands. Jihad is the way of everlasting glory."
-Sheikh Abdullah Azzam

''The history and experience had showed that you have no one after Allah except your Mujahideen sons; they are your protection, your strong shield, and your beating heart. They become happy to your happiness and sad to your sadness; they stay up all night for your protection and have jealousy for you. Their hearts burst in sorrow for your state, and their tongues never stop chanting: O’ Allah elevate the state of humiliation and defeat away from my nation, O’ Allah bring back victory to my nation.''

Ask yourself the question “Will I be a recipient of the great rewards from Allah granted to those who will revive Islam, or will I be a mere spectator passively watching while my brothers around me are booking for themselves the highest stations in Jennah?” Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki

The fatwa of any official Aalim has no value for me. History is full of such ulama who justify riba, who justify the occupation of Palestine by the Jews, who justify the presence of American troops around Harmain Sharifain. These people support the infidels for their personal gain.The true ulama support the Jihad against America. -Al Mujaahid Usaama Bin Laden

“If I know that Allah (swt) will accept one dawah from me, I will make this dawah not for the mujahideen, who are fighting and carrying Islam to the kafireen and defending the Ummah, not for the poor people, or the mothers, or the children, or the ill people, but for the rulers.” - Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal

From the words of Sheikh al- Mujahideen Omar Al-Mukhtar:
The hit that doesn't break your backbone makes you stronger..
We people.. don't surrender, we get triumph or die

The party of Allah "are those who belong to Allah, Praised is He, who shelter under His Gaze, who ally themselves to Him and do not ally themselves to anything other than Him. They are one family, one people, throughout the ages and generations, from all places and nations, of every race, class, colour and caste". Sayyid qutb

"In your eyes, I’m a terrorist, I’m the only one standing here in an orange jumpsuit, and it’s perfectly reasonable that I be standing here in an orange jumpsuit. But history repeats itself. One day, America will change and people will recognize this day for what it is. They will look at how hundreds of thousands of Muslims were killed and maimed by the US military in foreign countries, yet somehow I’m the one going to prison for “conspiring to kill and maim” in those countries – because I support the Mujahidin defending those people."

The government says that I was obsessed with violence, obsessed with “killing Americans.” But, as a Muslim living in these times, I can think of a lie no more ironic.

[Excerpt of Tarek Mehanna's sentencing statement]




'Abdullah 'Azzam on Usamah bin Ladin: "I have never laid my eyes on a man like him."


Regarding Usamah bin Ladin, 'Abdullah 'Azzam said:

"...they do not look to the dunya. If it comes to them, it is in their hands, and does not enter their hearts. The dunya is a means to an end, not the end itself. So, such people eat to live; they don't live to eat. They eat just enough to keep them alive, and on this occasion, I would like to ask Allah - the Mighty and Majestic - to preserve our brother, Abu 'Abdillah, Usamah bin Ladin. I have never laid my eyes on a man like him on this Earth; he lives in his home like one who is in a state of poverty. I used to stay at his home in Jeddah when making Hajj or 'Umrah, and he did not even have a single chair or table in the entire house! He had four wives, and not a single one of their houses had a chair or table in it. Any laboror from Egypt or Jordan has a better house than Usamah. Despite this, if you ask him for a million riyals for the Mujahidin, he would pull out a check and write it for you in a matter of seconds.

He once went to one of his sisters and presented her with Ibn Taymiyyah's fatwa regarding Jihad with one's wealth. So, she pulled out her checkbook and wrote a check for eight million riyals. All of a sudden, those who were around her came to talk her out of it, asking her: "Are you insane? You give out eight million in one shot, while you live in a rented apartment? It will cost at least one million for you to build your own house!" So, she went back to Usamah and said to him: "Usamah, my brother, I need one million of these riyals to build a house for myself." So, he said to her: "By Allah, I will not give you back a single riyal, as you live in an apartment, relaxed, while the people are dying and cannot even find a tent to shelter themselves with!"

If you were to sit with him, you would think that he was a servant from the servants, with his manners and manhood. By Allah, I hold him to be like this. I asked Sayyaf to announce a decision to prevent him from moving from here (in Peshawar), but he was always eager to be in the midst of battle. His blood pressure would drop often, so, he would fill his pockets with salt and carry a jug of water with him. He was unable to walk, as he would constantly have to swallow some salt and drink some water in order to raise his blood pressure.

Believe me when I tell you that when he would visit me in my home, when he would hear the telephone ring, he would get up and bring it to me, so that I would not have to get up from my place! Such manners, humility, manhood...we ask Allah to preserve him, if He Wills."

['Fi Dhilal Surat at-Tawbah'; p. 301]







On the authority of Zayd bin Khalid al Juhani, may Allah be pleased with him: ‘The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:

‘He who provides for a mujahid in the Way of Allah the Almighty, it is as if he himself has made jihad; and he who has supported the family of a mujahid with an act of goodness, it is as if he himself has made jihad.’ (Transmitted by Al Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud and Al-Tirmidhi) (that is to say he obtains the reward for it)




Sayyid Qutb, may Allah be pleased with him, says:

"The truth about the battle in which the Jews and Christians have engaged the Muslim Ummah in every corner of the earth, and in every age, is that it centres upon our belief or creed. Although they may quarrel amongst themselves, they are forever united in the struggle against Islam and the Muslims.

They have used every kind of wickedness, perfidy and treachery in this struggle ever since they have experienced, firsthand, the zeal of the Muslims for their religion, having previously confronted them in the fullness of their creed. So they declared war over land, economic and political ideologies, strategic interests, and then they tried to convince the guileless amongst us that the whole issue of the creed was outdated; that it was totally irrelevant. 

They said that it should not be a point of discussion; that those who struggled on its behalf were only reactionary fanatics. So it is time to return to central importance the creed before we lose heart, struggling with all that we have in order to dispel, once and for all, this impudence which has been wearing away at us for so long. If we allow ourselves to be deceived once again then we have only ourselves to blame. We will have turned away from the Favour of Allah upon His Prophet and his Ummah; Allah is the Most Truthful of all when He says, (The Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you until you follow their religion).

This is the singular price which they desire, nothing else will find their acceptance or ap
proval.

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His. They are:

(1) a just ruler;

(2) a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone) sincerely from his childhood),

(3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosque (who offers the five compulsory congregational prayers in the mosque);

(4) two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only;

(5) a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah;

(6) a person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity).

(7) a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears."

And if “terrorism” means “the intentional slaughter of civilians,” the US and Israel commit thousands of times more terrorism than all the Muslims of the world put together. According to studies by Gideon Polya, M.D., the US and its ally, Great Britain, have murdered roughly eight million Iraqis alone since 1950. The total number of victims of US and Israeli state terrorism since World War II, what scholar William Blum calls “the American Holocaust,” is in the tens of millions.



Life is a mixture of tear drops & smiles, sunshine & rain, pleasure & pain. So when clouds hide the sun & your sky turns grey remember ALLAH is just a Duaa away! ♥

"A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection . " [Sahih Bukhari]
