Three Laughs and Three Tears

It is reported form Abû Al-Dardâ – Allâh be pleased with him – that he said, “Three make me laugh, and three make me cry.
Those that make me laugh are a person who puts his hopes in this worldly life while death pursues him, a person who is heedless [of his Lord] while [his Lord] is not heedless of him, and a person who always laughs while he does not know whether he has pleased Allâh or angered Him.
What makes me cry is being separated from my beloved: Muhammad and his party (the Companions), the horrors of the time of death, and standing in front of Allâh ‘azza wa jall on the Day when the secrets will be revealed and I do not know will I then go to Paradise or Hell?”

Children of the Hereafter

Children of the Hereafter

It is reported from ‘Alî b. Abî Tâlib –Allah be pleased with him – that he said:

"The thing I fear for you most is following desires and having extensive hopes (about this worldly life). Following one’s desires blocks you from the truth, and having extensive hopes makes you forget the hereafter. Verily, this worldly life is departing and the hereafter is approaching and each of them has its children. So be children of the hereafter, not children of this world, for today there are (opportunities to do) deeds and there is no reckoning, but tomorrow there will be reckoning and no deeds.

Quoted by Al-Bukhârî, Al-Sahîh, The Book of Raqâ`iq without the first sentence. Reported in its entirety by Abû Nu’aym, Hilyah Al-Awliyâ` Vol.1 p40, and others.


Al-Hâfidh Ibn Hajr [Al Asqalani] states in Fath Al-Bârî:

Extensive hopes (about this worldly life) give rise to lethargy when it comes to acts of obedience, procrastinating with repentance, desire for worldly things, forgetfulness of the hereafter and hardness of the heart; because the softness of the heart and its purity only comes about by remembering death, the grave, reward and punishment, and the horrors of the hereafter…for if one remembers death, he strives to do acts of obedience, his worries decrease and he is satisfied with less.

Warning against neglecting Salah

Q: What do you say about those who neglect offering Salah (Prayer)?

A: Salah holds a great position in Islam. It is the cornerstone of Islam and the second greatest pillar next to Shahadah (Testimony of Faith). Whoever holds fast to it, will preserve his Din (religion), and whoever neglects it will neglect all other good deeds. Allah (may He be Exalted) states: "Guard strictly (five obligatory) As Salawât (the prayers) especially the middle Salât (i.e. the best prayer 'Asr). And stand before Allâh with obedience [and do not speak to others during the Salât (prayers)]". (Al-Baqarah 2:238) and "And perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât, and Irka' (i.e. bow down or submit yourselves with obedience to Allâh) along with Ar Raki'ûn" (Al-Baqarah 2:43). Allah (may He be Glorified and Exalted) also states: "And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allâh, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât) and give Zakât: and that is the right religion" (Al-Baiyinah 98:5). In another Ayah (Qur'anic verse) Allah (may He be Praised) states: "Recite (O Muhammad SAW) what has been revealed to you of the Book (the Qur'ân), and perform As-Salât (Iqamât as Salât). Verily, As-Salât (the prayer) prevents from Al-Fahshâ' (i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) and Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed, etc.)"(Al-'Ankabut 29:45). The Qur'an contains countless Ayahs which indicate the lofty status of Salah and encourage Muslims to steadfastly perform it.

It was authentically reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stated: The peak of the matter is Islam; its pillar is Salah; and its topmost part is Jihad (Fighting/Struggling in the Cause of Allah). and: Islam has been built upon five pillars: to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish Salah, to pay Zakah, to fast the month of Ramadan and to perform Hajj. [see Imam An-Nawawi's 40 Ahadith].

The Prophet (peace be upon him) also stated:

That which differentiates us from them (i.e. disbelievers and hypocrites) is our performance of Salah. He who abandons it, becomes a disbeliever[Reported by Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Nasa'i]. The Prophet (peace be upon him) stated: What makes one a disbeliever and a polytheist is abandoning Salah (Prayer). [Reported by Imam Muslim]

[The above Ahadith appears slightly different in the Fatawa Arkan-ul-Islam by Shaykh ibn Uthaimeen as follows : "The covenant between us and them is the prayer, so whoever abandons it has committed an act of Kufr" and "Verily, between a man and Shirk and Kufr is the abandonment of prayer". *additional note by Thoobaah*]

All other Hadiths narrated in this regard indicate that abandonment of Salah is tantamount to Kufr (disbelief), even if the abandoner does not deny its obligation.

This is the most correct view held by scholars in this regard as substantiated by evidence. However, denying the obligatory status of Salah constitutes an act of Kufr as has been unanimously agreed upon by scholars, even if the abandoner is known to offer it regularly. The reason for deeming him a Kafir is that his denial is tantamount to rejecting Allah (may He be Glorified and Exalted) and His Messenger (peace be upon him). Abandonment of Salah invalidates one's Sawm, Hajj and all other acts of worship. This is because major disbelief renders all acts of worship fruitless. This is the meaning of the Ayah which reads: "And whosoever disbelieves in the Oneness of Allâh and in all the other Articles of Faith [i.e. His (Allâh's), Angels, His Holy Books, His Messengers, the Day of Resurrection and Al­Qadar (Divine Preordainments)], then fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers" (Al-Ma'idah 5:5). The same meaning is implied in another Ayah which reads: "But if they had joined in worship others with Allâh, all that they used to do would have been of no benefit to them. (Al-An'am 6:88). There are many other Ayahs with the same intended meaning.

Muslims, men or women, are duty bound to offer the Five Obligatory Daily Prayers at their appointed times. They should enjoin one another to do this and beware not to neglect it. A male Muslim must offer it in the Masjid (mosque) with his Muslim brothers. This is based on the Hadith in which the prophet (peace be upon him) stated: "Whoever hears the Adhan (call to prayer), yet does not go to the Masjid without a valid excuse shall receive no reward for his Salah. When Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about the excuse which one may abandon congregational Salah, he said: "(It is) fear or illness." [Sunan Ibn Majah].

It is also narrated in Sahih (Authentic Book of Hadith) Muslim on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that A blind man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have no one to guide me to the Masjid." He, therefore, asked. Allah's Messenger's permission to offer Prayer in his house. He (the Prophet) called him and said: "Do you hear the call to prayer?" He said: "Yes." He (the Prophet then) said: "Respond to it." [Sahih Muslim]. This noble Hadith indicates the great position of offering Salah in congregation and the necessity to hold fast to it. Many people fall into the enormous sin of neglecting the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer in congregation. This is one characteristic of hypocrisy.

A Muslim man should be aware and observe the Fajr Prayer and hasten to perform it in congregation at its appointed time, as he does in the rest of the Five Obligatory Daily Prayers. Allah (may He be Exalted) states: "Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allâh, but it is He Who deceives them. And when they stand up for As-Salât (the prayer), they stand with laziness and to be seen of men, and they do not remember Allâh but little" (An-Nisa 4:142). The Prophet (peace be upon him) stated: "The most burdensome Prayers for the hypocrites are the `Isha' (Night) Prayer and the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer. If they were to know (the blessings) they have in store, they would have come to them, even though crawling". (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim).Imam Ahmad (may Allah be merciful with him) narratedon the authority of `Abdullah ibn `Amr ibn Al-`As (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said: One day the Prophet (peace be upon him) spoke of the great position of Salah and stated: "Whosoever observes it regularly, it will be a source of light, authoritative proof and a means of salvation for him on the Day of Resurrection, and whosoever does not observe it regularly, it will not be a source of light, authoritative proof and a means of salvation for him on the Day of Resurrection and on that day he will join the company of Pharaoh, Haman, Qarun (Kora) and Ubay ibn Khalaf." The Hadith portends severe punishment for those who abandon Salah.

Commenting on the above Hadith, some scholars said: "On the Day of Resurrection one who abandons Salah will join the company of Pharaoh, Haman, Qarun (Kora) and Ubay ibn Khalaf. The reason is that if he abandons it for the sake of holding a prestigious position, he will be behaving like Pharoah who transgressed and behaved arrogantly taking advantage of his royal position. One who abandons it will join his company on the Day of Resurrection. The same is true with Haman, Pharoah's minister who, taking advantage of his position, behaved arrogantly and refused to follow Musa (Moses, peace be upon him). One who neglects Salah because of wealth and lusting after desires is similar to Qarun, an Israelite merchant whom Allah mentions in the Qur'an: Verily, Qârûn (Korah) was of Mûsâ’s (Moses) people, but he behaved arrogantly towards them.

He was distracted by wealth and desires to the point that he disobeyed and arrogantly refused to follow Musa. Allah caused the earth to swallow him up along with his abode. Allah inflicted immediate punishment on him in this life by causing him to remain imprisoned deep down in the earth until the Day of Resurrection where he will suffer eternal punishment. One who abandons Salah being preoccupied with buying, selling, or engaging in various transactions with the sole purpose of amassing wealth will on the Day of Resurrection join the company of Ubay ibn Khalaf, the Makkan merchant who denied Islam. Ubay was killed while in a state of Kufr (disbelief) in the Battle of Uhud. The Prophet (peace be upon him) struck him down with his own blessed hand. The threat mentioned in the Ayah above indicates without a doubt that one who abandons Salah is considered a Kafir even if he does not deny its being an obligatory duty. We ask Allah to protect all Muslims and us from following the evil examples of His enemies.

Has not the Time come ?

Allah (Subhaanahu Wa ta A'la) Says:

أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

Has not the time come for the hearts of those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) to be affected by Allâh's Reminder (this Qur'ân), and that which has been revealed of the truth, lest they become as those who received the Scripture [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] before (i.e. Jews and Christians), and the term was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened? And many of them were Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).

اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

Know that Allâh gives life to the earth after its death! Indeed We have made clear the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) to you, if you but understand. (Al-Hadid 57: 16-17)

I Defense af Profeten Muhammad (Mai Allaah hæve sin rang og give ham fred)

In the Danish Language....


En berømt muslimsk Scholar's Kritisk reaktion på nylige forsøg på at nedgøre Prophet Muhammad gennem Cartoon Tegninger og beskyldninger om terrorisme

[I navn Allah, All-barmhjertig, den Bestower af Mercy]

Alle roser er grund til Allah, og må Allah ophøje status for Messenger af Allah, og at hans familie og hans kammerater, og kan han give dem fred.

Hvad angår det følgende:

Nogle aviser og andre former for medier har spredt sårende, ond oplysninger, som kun kunne hidrøre fra de jaloux, arrogant fjender af islam og dens Prophet (kan Allah hæve hans rang og give ham fred).

Denne adfærd omfatter en calumniation af Muhammad, Messenger af Allah og en fordrejning af hans budskab ved jaloux enkeltpersoner og kristne organisationer samt misundelig og uansvarlige columnists som dem, der skriver til den danske avis Jyllands-Posten.

Dens forfattere hånet det bedste i mennesket og den fornemste af Messengers, Muhammad (kan Allah hæve hans rang og give ham fred), de kan lide, hvis adelen, ære, retfærdighed, og vaner jorden aldrig har kendt til. Det har heller ikke kendskab til en mere fuldstændig og omfattende besked end hans, og heller ikke en mere retfærdig og barmhjertig en.

Det er et budskab, som omfatter tro i alle de profeter og budbringere, til ære for dem og forsvare dem mod calumniation og ærekrænkelse. Det har også bevaret en præcis historie profeterne, herunder Jesus og Moses. Så uanset hvem disbelieves i Muhammad og taler om ham i en nedsættende måde har disbelieved i alle profeterne og klandret dem alle.

For nylig nogle uciviliserede miscreants gjort sjovt af profeten, tegning forskellige billeder af ham. Tolv modbydelige billeder, en af dem portrætteret ham (kan Allah hæve hans rang og give ham fred) bærer turban som ligner en bombe på hovedet.

Vi siger, at disse kriminelle og deres misundelig tilhængere i Europa og Amerika: Du er beskylde andre for din helt egen forbrydelser!

Lad det være kendt, som aldrig gjorde Muhammad (kan Allah hæve hans rang og give ham fred), eller hans retfærdige efterfølgere eller en af hans hæderlig kammerater, nogensinde etablere fabrikker til selv de mest primitive af våben, som sværd og spyd, endsige atomnummer bomber, langtrækkende missiler eller andre masseødelæggelsesvåben.

Aldrig gjorde Muhammad (kan Allah hæve hans rang og give ham fred) opbygge et enkelt våben fabrik. Frem, blev han sendt som en barmhjertighed for hele skabelsen, til at vejlede alle Menneskeheden retning lykke i deres jordiske liv og i deres herefter, således at de opfylder deres Creator ret på dem, for det er ham, der skabte dem til at tilbede ham alene. Den, der forkaster dette virkelig er en forbrydelse fortjener straf i dette liv og det næste, som Lord af alle, der eksisterer, skaberen af dette univers og dets Master.

Som for dig O vesterlændinge, fordringshavere civilisationens, du har forfatninger og love, at ødelægge oprejst moralske karakter og tillade alle former for forbudte handlinger, de kan lide af hor og homoseksualitet samt åger som ødelægger økonomien i hele nationer, og de spiser af uretmæssigt slagtede dyr (døde kød) og svinekød, hvilket medfører bekymring for kvinders værdier, og dermed en mand ikke føler beskyttende af hans kone, søster eller datter, og derfor hun fornicates med eller tæt befriends hvem hun forgodtbefindende . Disse er nogle af de midler, der fører til ruin, og de har været forbudt i alle de profetiske beskeder.

Som for bomber og alle andre våben af ødelæggelse, krig fly, kampvogne og langtrækkende missiler, du er dem, der konstruerede og fremstillede dem med dine sataniske hoveder, som kun tænker overtrædelse, fjendskab, undertrykkelse, angribe, tyranni, erobre hele racer af mennesker og enslaving dem, spreder deres blod, og usurping deres naturlige ressourcer. De tror kun ca annihilating dem, der er imod dig og stå i vejen for din grådige forhåbninger, din undertrykkelse og spredning af had. Alt dette mundede ud i navnet på civilisation, menneskerettigheder, frihed og retfærdighed!

Alle intelligente mennesker kender denne om dig. Til din mørke historie er fyldt med uncivil og terrorhandlinger, en historie registreres mod dig af både dine fjender og allierede mage.

Enhver, der ikke kender dette bør læse om din historie og din besættelse af mange nationer, eller i det mindste læse historie og nogle forfærdelige resultater af dine to verdenskrige. For eksempel er antallet af trafikdræbte i første verdenskrig i Europa nået "Mere end 10 millioner, og de var eliten af deres nationer 'ungdom. Og mere end det dobbelte af dette tal var opstået alvorlige kvæstelser invaliderende dem for resten af deres liv . " [Der henvises til: At-Taareekh al-Mu'aasir: Uruubbaa minath-Thawratil-Fransiyyah ilal-Harbil-'Aalamiyyaith-Thaaniyah, s. 505.. (Lire: Nyere historie, Europa fra den franske revolution til Anden Verdenskrig)]

Antallet af soldater dræbt i Anden Verdenskrig nået: "17 millioner, sammen med yderligere 18 millioner civile dødsofre - dem alle dræbt inden for en periode på kun fem og et halvt år. Eksperter har anslået, at de militære udgifter alene nået $ 1,1 billioner , og at tab som følge af krigen nået den værdi på $ 2,1 billioner. Oven i dette er antallet af hele byer ødelagt, at mængden af jorden brændte, det landbrug, der blev oversvømmet, og fabrikker og plantager, der stoppede produktionen, for ikke at nævne antallet af dyr, der blev ødelagt eller gået tabt. " [(Al-Harb al-'Aalamiyyah ATH-Thaaniyah ved Ramadhaan Jord, p.448-449) (lire: Den Anden Verdenskrig)]


Hiroshima Bomb

Erklærede forfatteren til bogen, "al-Harb al-'Aalamiyyah ATH-Thaaniyah" (p.446-447) (lire: Den Anden Verdenskrig), "Og måske er det hensigtsmæssigt at tale om den første atombombe. Lad os relay, hvad der blev rapporteret direkte fra en af de japanske i sit interview med Marcel Junod, en repræsentant for Røde Kors, taler om virkeligheden i dette mest skræmmende eksplosion. Han sagde: ... Og pludselig synes disse intense, mudret rosa lys, ledsaget af en unaturlig tremor. Dette var umiddelbart efterfulgt af en kvælende bølge af varme og kraftige vindstød, der ødelagde alt på deres vej.

Inden for kun et par sekunder, tusinder af mennesker, der gik vejene eller lørdag i byens vigtigste gader blev brændt levende. Et stort antal blev dræbt af den intense varme, der spredes overalt. Andre var venstre lå på jorden skriger i smerte med dødbringende forbrændinger over hele deres krop. Alt, hvad der havde været i slagpunktet - mure, huse, fabrikker og andre bygninger - var fuldstændig og totalt udslettet, med alle spor af disse ting sendt kaster ind i himlen i en gyselig hvirvelvind. Sporvogne blev plukket fra deres stål spor og verfede som om de havde mistet deres vægt og indhold. Togdriften blev løftet fra jorden sammen med deres spor, som om de var blot legetøj. Heste, hunde og husdyr var alle befallen med, hvad der ramte folk. Alle levende ting har mistet sit liv i en smertefuld vending, begivenhederne for vanskeligt at beskrive. Træer blev opslugt i rasende brande, ris områder mistet deres farve, og gårde crackled og brændt væk gerne tørre strå.

Med hensyn til de omkringliggende områder, der er undsluppet instant død: Homes blev crumbled og kun bunker af Træbrædder forblev blandt mursten og sten fonde. Alt var knust, som om de var pap huse i en zone med destruktion 10 kilometer i diameter. Dem, der overlevede befundet sig fuldstændig omgivet af raser brande. De få mennesker, som formåede at komme til enhver form for husly i tide døde smertefuld død som følge af gamma-stråling inden for 20 til 30 dage. Ved skumringen på dagen for den hoejovnskoks, den blisset bremset og derefter døde ud, finde intet overlades til brændstof det. Hiroshima var gået ud i intetheden. "

Det er nogle af de milepæle af din civilisation, som du synger og prale med, og blive uforskammet over for islam og profeten med. Men du fortsætter med at intensivere alle former for undertrykkelse og korruption og du går på at opfinde flere og flere våben til destruktion, udslettelse, og ødelæggelser, og dette - ved Allah - er den yderste grænse af barbariske og animalistic opførsel.

(Eller tror du at de fleste af dem endda lytte til eller bruge deres intellects? De er kun gerne kvæg snarere endnu mere vild end som så.) [Quran 25:44]

Så Crown selv med dine egne bomber, herunder Hiroshima bombe og sine lyster, og kronen Deres ledere med dem. Overveje alle andre masseødelæggelsesvåben som din fangs og kløer, du bruger til at bytte om vilde dyr og hele menneskeheden.

(Og dem, der undertrykker skal se, hvilken type resultat vælter dem.) [Quran 26:227]
