The truth is one thing and what people do is another

The truth is one thing, and what people do is another.Yet they blame the truth, and not what they do.

I have been reading the headlines by non Muslims and more disappointingly by Muslims who claim that Islam needs reformation. For the non Muslims, perhaps they haven't truly heard the real message as it was sent down by the Almighty through our Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him. This is our mistake as Muslims, because we don't spread the right message or selfishly keep the message to ourselves. And when we are not selfish, we lack the courage to speak the truth.
In the words of Ibn Taymiyyah RahimahuAllah: "If I remained silent and you remained silent, then who will teach the ignorant?". Silence results in the ignorant teaching the ignorant and here we are today. We are in a situation where we are pressured into explaining ourselves because we haven't done our job. We can give excuses to those who have never picked up the glorious Quran and have been subjugated to being fooled by writers who pick and choose parts with little or no understanding of the content and whose hearts have already been sealed.

But what is our excuse?

It seems that human not so perfect beings blame everything and anyone but themselves.

We are so busy. Busy condemning and condoning what someone else does, blaming and explaining, arguing and dialoguing on the do's and don'ts of what someone else is doing, while forgetting our real purpose.  If we had any intelligence, we would rectify our mistakes.

The world is somehow directly or indirectly at war because we are so busy justifying and criticizing everything but ourselves and looking everywhere and anywhere but in the place that had we looked in the first place, would have the world in silence and maybe we could have some peace.
People fear the truth and most importantly they fear that if they accept the truth, they can no longer live the way they live. What a loss to mankind, that they believe that progress is the creation's made laws while the Creator of the heavens and the earth just laws are washed away.

To all those who question Islam, who question the final message of Mercy to mankind, my answer is as follows. Before you judge, read, before you decide understand.

If you have questions, go to someone who is learned, not to someone who picks and chooses what suits them.

It is human beings(mankind) that need to reform themselves. The Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon him was sent to perfect good character. Like Moses, may peace and blessings be upon him, and Jesus may peace and blessings be upon him, like Abraham may peace and blessings be upon, like Joseph may peace and blessings be upon him, the prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings be upon him, was sent to lead us away from bad characteristics like greed, envy, hate, ignorance, arrogance etc all of which are traits of Satan. 

The Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him was sent to the whole of mankind to teach us how to love our brother and sister like how we love ourselves and how we should wish for our brothers and sisters what we wish for ourselves.How no man is superior to another man and how we are all equal in the eyes of our Creator in every action except when it comes to piety.

So don't tell me Islam needs reformation, it's mankind, not religion. Stop blaming Perfection on our imperfections. Stop blaming Perfection on the weakness of men and women who are desirous of the world and have forgotten their purpose. Stop blaming Perfection,because of our lust of this temporary world. Don't tell me that the Divine message should be neglected because we think we are invincible. Because we are not.We are but a number of days.

"He who keeps his heart near God will find peace and tranquility, whilst he who gives his heart to the people will find restlessness and apprehension."- Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya (RA)

What is So Civilized about the "Civilized" world?

Obama: Paris attacks an "attack on the civilized world"....

So does that mean that the rest of the world is uncivilized? Because it seems to be okay when the United States, France, Britain are so “civilized” when bombing of foreign lands. They have every right to do so, because they can, because they are civilized. Murdering human beings from Afghanistan, to Iraq and all in between, but that’s alright, as long as their “civilized” part of the globe is reaping the booty of shooting and looting. The civilized world? Since when have they been anything but civilized? They call themselves the civilized world, yet what is civilized about producing weapons which they use and sell in order to murder and maim? They call themselves the civilized world, yet what is so civilized about invasion?

What's civilized about bombing and droning people? Doesn't it remind you of the Roman Empire coliseum’s where "civilized" spectators would flock to watch people being eaten alive by hungry lions let loose out of their cages? Doesn't it remind you of gladiators forced to fight one another to the death in order to please what they referred to as the civilized world? Except in this case it not in a coliseum but transmitted around the world via the television set. Live blood baths, just tune in to CNN, tune in to BBC and watch the civilized news show you body parts of the not so civilized world.

They call themselves "the civilized world" then tell me, what is civil in harming people?

They call themselves the civilized world then tell me what’s civilized about an open prison- look to Israel. After all they are referred to as the civilized world too… I guess, civilized means, that you can legally murder and get away with it... 

What's civilized about restricting people's passage based on religion or colour? What's civilized in a passport when you pick and choose who passes your port? What’s civilized about placing people in camps picking who stays and who goes, who are only in your civilized world because you couldn’t leave theirs alone. What's civilized about disrespecting people's choice of religion and dress? What is civilized about destroying people’s tradition and cultures’? What's so civilized about falsely imprisoning people, just to create fear mongering against a particular religion? What is civilized about imposing your foreign policy? And what is so civilized about your democracy? What is civilized about dictating what we should and shouldn’t do, what we should and should not believe? What is civilized about disseminating false information about religions and only expect your ideals to be followed? What's civilized about forcing people to conform to what you think is civilized? Do you seriously find it civilized that you walk around half naked? And what is civilized about disseminating nudity and sexual content which even animals don't resemble and have more decency?

What is civilized about legally being drunk? Yes you must be drinking and drunk which gives you the illusion that you are civilized… What was so damn civilized when only Paris mattered and Beirut was ignored?

“When my people died, no country bothered to light up its landmarks in the colors of their flag,” Elie Fares, a Lebanese doctor, wrote on his blog. “When my people died, they did not send the world into mourning. Their death was but an irrelevant fleck along the international news cycle, something that happens in those parts of the world.”

And let's not forget, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Rohingya, Sudan, Libya, Egypt, and every where else your "civilized" ideals has destroyed...

Yes, What is so civilized about about the so called civilized world?

Nothing.

And whoever lost it, let them blame no one but them selves…..

They Will Neglect the Prayer - by Shaikh Khaled Al Rashed 

By Allah, our problems will not be solved, and our worries will not be removed, and our situations will not change, except if we persevere our prayers…. 

What is this life?

By Allah, the situation of a person will not be on the right course unless he perseveres his prayer.

By Allah you will not get closer to Allah by a deed more beloved by Him than the prayers.

The Prophet, peace be upon him said “Take on only as much as you can do of good deeds, for the best of deeds is the prayer”

By Allah, no fasting, no pilgrimage, no charity nor any sort of good deeds will benefit you unless your prayer is correct.

The first thing the servant will be asked on the day of resurrection is about his prayer, if it is correct and sound, Allah Subhan wa Ta'ala will continue to look into his books of deeds, and if it is not… “and We will regard what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed”.

When Allah(Subhan wa Ta'ala) revealed the verse to the Prophet(peace be upon him) “But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil”- Quran:19:59, the Prophet(pbuh) while he was crying said “O Gabriel, will my followers neglect their prayers?” Gabriel said: “Yes O messenger of Allah, in the end of times a large group of your nation will neglect the prayers, till the time for the prayer has expired, and these follow their lusts/lowly desires.”

Thus the prayers had been neglected, and the prohibited things had been committed… How will we grow in virtue? And how will our community be raised up on virtue and good morals if the prayers are not preserved?

Don’t the prayers prohibit us from immorality and wrong doings?

One Godly command is sufficient to know the great position of the prayer in the sight of Allah. Isn’t it enough for you that the prayers was enjoined from above the heavens?

Isn’t it enough for you to know the position of the prayers and its great status in the sight of Allah was enjoined from above the seven heavens?

Five prayers equivalent to fifty prayers in reward. The prayer is a light, how can you walk in darkness?

The youth face tragedy everywhere… and their cure… enter the house of the Most Merciful, join the rows of the worshipers.

By Allah, if the hearts are still alive, it would be torn of pain out of loss. But it is drunk with the love of this worldly life, and it will wake up after sometime..

When will you join the rows with the observers of prayers? And to be amongst those who are consistent in their prayers and among those who carefully maintain their prayers?

When will you be on the right course?

And when will you know that the greatest matters of religion after Tawheed(the Oneness of God) is to maintain the prayer and hasten to the masjid and to attend Takbirat Al Ihraam

And whoever lost it, let them blame no one but them selves…..
