‏حدثنا ‏ ‏قتيبة بن سعيد ‏ ‏حدثنا ‏ ‏المغيرة يعني الحزامي ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏أبي الزناد ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏الأعرج ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏أبي هريرة ‏

‏أن رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏قال ‏ ‏ليس المسكين بهذا الطواف الذي يطوف على الناس فترده اللقمة واللقمتان والتمرة والتمرتان قالوا فما المسكين يا رسول الله قال الذي لا يجد غنى يغنيه ولا يفطن له فيتصدق عليه ولا يسأل الناس شيئا. رواه مسلم ‏

بينما كان أمير المؤمنين ( عمر بن عبدالعزيز ) يدخل المسجد لاداء صلاة الصبح وكان المكان مظلما , فإذا به يتعثر ويسقط بسبب رجل نائم عند باب المسجد , فقام عمر واعتذر للرجل , ولكن هذا الرجل - وهو المخطيء - صرخ في وجه عمر قائلاً له : هل أنت أعمى ؟

فقال عمر : لا .

وكان أحد الجند واقفاً عند باب المسجد فاستل سيفه وقال : دعني أقتص منه ياأمير المؤمنين .

فلما سمع الرجل ذلك ارتعد خوفاً وعرف أنه صرخ في وجه أمير المؤمنين , ولكن عمر ربت على كتفه وقال : لا تخف .

ثم التفت إلى الجندي وقال له :

تقتص ممن ؟ مالكم والناس , سألني الرجل وأجبته , وانتهى الأمر ...

VENUE: Maher Community Centre, Ravensbridge Drive, Leicester.

CHIEF GUEST: Shaykh Zaheer Ragie hafizahullah

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mufti Muhammad Taqi Uthmani has had to cancel his trip to England, with assurance that if it is at all possible, he will try to make it for the conference.

The other chief guest on this occasion will be Shaykh Zaheer Ragie of South Africa, a very prominent and active member of the Jami‘atul ‘Ulamم in South Africa

For More Information on the IDA Conference please visit www.idauk.org

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said: "Ibaadah is obedience to Allaah by carrying out what He has commanded on the tongues of His messengers."

He also said: "Ibaadah is a collective term for everything which Allaah loves and is pleased with from among the sayings and inward and outward actions."

Ibn al-Qayyim said: Ibaadah - (is) Gratefulness to Him, Love of Him and Awe of Him

Ibn Katheer said:"Ibaadah in the language is humbleness (dhillah). It is sometimes said 'a levelled and smoothed road (mu'abbad) and an uneven road (ghair mu'abbad)' meaning (one has been) humbled, lowered, debased. Its usage in the Revelation: an expression of what brings together the perfection of Love, Fear and Hope (in Allaah's worship)."

Al-Qurtubee said: "The basis of Ibaadah: humbling oneself (tadhallull) and submission (khudoo') and the duties of the Sharee'ah are called 'Ibaadaat' (pl. of Ibaadah i.e. acts of worship) because the (worshippers) stick to them and perform them with submissiveness and out of humility to Allaah the Exalted."

From these statements you will realise that Ibaadah has a very wide meaning and is comprised of many matters. It will also become clear to you that many people have an incorrect and fragmented understanding of Ibaadah. Most commonly they limit the meaning of Ibaadah to prostrating, bowing, Fasting, Hajj and other acts of worship. However, this is only one aspect from the many aspects of Ibaadah.

In essence, the word Ibaadah in the language and in the Revelation has three meanings:

[1] Humbleness, Lowliness (Dhillah) and Submissiveness (Khudoo')

[2] Obedience (Taa'ah) and Compliance (Inqiyaad)

[3] Devotion, Sacrifice (Tanassuk) and Worship (Ta'alluh)

I have a question that has been bothering me for some time.

In many publications I read that non-Muslims are deemed the "enemies of Allah". Is this true? Are we non-Muslims really considered to be enemies of God?

as salam a`alaman itab`alhoda

Warrior, I deleted your post about the Quran by mistake, I meant to delet only one post not the whole thread.

However, Allah meant it this way,

now we need to put things clear, obviously u r not here to learn about Islam but rather to preach your religion.

Now and this is not off topic, did u even see a Muslim imposing on a Christian forum or sending preaching messages? no we dont need to.

As for your post, it is clear u copied and pasted from one of those sites against Islam. Unfortunately, they fight in the wrong way. They publish Ayahs of Quran incomplete.

As for u, u seem to be not a native arabic speaker, let us agree on certain matters so that we can continue having u around if u want to.

Dont flood the board with copied and pasted threads before checking if answers are already around.

If u want to learn about the Quran

http://www.islamsms.com/bb/showthread....s=&threadid=317

check this first

second in part of your post u referred to grammatical errors, how can u just relate to this without being a native arabic speaker, did they tell u that.

Now, if u can explain what is wrong with 2:177. And let us act like mature people. dont just post the other stuff, tell me the grammer fault in this Ayah, may Allah be Glorified above what u describe.

I sincerely advice u to read the thread with an open mind.

I will give u the chance, then come back with the fault u r claiming

ok

other wise u will not be welcomed here.

we leave such posts so that we put the reply for others to benefit. So if we can not fulfill this aspect, we would simply be deleting your posts, then ban u

am I clear?????

welcome to the board

Just yesterday Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan made a apologise to the western governments

My main question is :

· Why can the Muslim world unite as one

· And do you think Pakistan is next on the list to be attack

What will we do if Mecca gets attack fine we can stand and watch Iraqis die , we can watch Afghans die , we can even watch our mosque burn.

Are we truly Muslim or just by words.

:mad:

I was reading the Surah Al-baraqure I think it’s the 1st chaptered and I am slightly confuse.

Few points I want to make is that so far what I have read from the holy quran in English translation It repeat says things about Christian and Jews and it also mentions Israel apart from this point

I would to ask this question

Guy’s I am very confuse and I need to learn Islam I want to learn the quran in Arabic does anyone know in Birmingham UK where can I go to learn this after work and I want to learn Arabic as I believe this should be our native language where can I go any good sites

:eek:

I want to tell you all that God loves you so much Jesus died on the cross for all sins, past, present and future, He died so you can be seen sinless in the eyes of God, all you have to do is Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." repent and ask Jesus to forgive your sins, and just like that its forgiven.

Jesus was the promised Messiah he came because he loves us so much.

The creator became part of the creation, Immanuel means God with us.

Jesus came and performed many miracles, like turned water into wine, walked on water, healed the sick and blind, brought back the dead.

Jesus did all this to glorify God and to show us the way.

Jesus was the only flesh on earth that was sinless, Jesus never sinned, because he was God in the flesh, he had to fulfill the prophecy of a sheep without blemish and had to die for many. Jesus gave his life they did not take it from him he gave his life for us.

Thats how much God loves us.

Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Tell me doesn't all that look like what you watch when you turn on your local news, plus this is the generation that saw the fig tree blossom, Israel became a Nation after 2000 years of being scattered God broung them back.

All this was prophecied in the bible, the generation that sees the fig tree blossom (israel become a Nation) will see the return of Jesus.

If you would like to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior and mean it with your heart please say this to Jesus right now, He is everywhere he will hear.

Dear Jesus, I admit I am a sinner in need of a savior.

I believe you died on the cross for all my sins and on the third day you rose again.

I ask you now to come into my heart Lord Jesus, forgive my sins, and save my soul Amen..

Welcome to the family of God, I know now you have a loving everlasting father. and he will show you things you have never seen before. God bless you.

ORIGINS AND PURPOSES OF DIVINE CREATION, THE REVEALED BOOKS, THE CALL OF PROPHET IBRAHEEM, AND THE FIRMEST OF HANDHOLDS

<b>This is a Reminder to the True Believers, and </b>

A Warning to the Negligent, and

A Clear Evidence against the Arrogant.

And this is an Apology to Allah.

One should know that Allah is the Creator and Originator of every thing and every being. The most important thing that Allah ordained for Adam’s son to learn and to do, before praying, paying zakat, or any other act of worship, is to believe in the oneness of Allah and to avoid belief in any other deity. It was for this reason that Allah created the creatures, sent the Prophets, revealed the Books, and ordained the Jihad and martyrdom. Because of this, there is enmity between the followers of Ar-Rahman and those of Shaytan, and because of this, the Islamic State and the Khalifah System will be established. Allah said: "I have not created the jinn and men but to worship Me." , meaning that our sole purpose of existence is the worship of Allah, alone.

He also said: "And verily, We have sent among every community a Messenger saying: Worship Allah, and avoid all other deities".

This belief, that there is no god but Allah, is a basic element of Islam. No call, no jihad, no prayer, no fasting, no zakat, no pilgrimage will be accepted without it. One can not be saved from the fire of Hell without believing in it, because it is the only handhold that Allah has guaranteed His followers, that will lead to Paradise. No other handhold will be sufficient for safety from the fire. Allah said: "Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break." .

Allah also said: "Those who avoid at-Taghut by not worshipping them and turn to Allah in repentance, for them are glad tidings; so announce the good news to My Slaves."

Witness how Allah talks about disbelief in false deities (or taghoot), before He talks about belief in Himself. This shows us how He began with a negation of all false deities, before an affirmation of belief in Allah. Allah ordained monotheism with the words (no god but Allah) which points to this great principle of the firmest handhold, therefore there is no sincere belief in Allah, without extreme and total denial of other deities.

The deities which one must disbelieve in and avoid worshipping, are not simply stones, idols, trees or graves that get worshipped through prostration or invocation - indeed, it encompasses far more than this! It contains every worshipped being (or thing) who accepts to be worshipped, other than Allah, by any act of worship .

When the created commits an act of aggression against it's own soul, then it exceeds the limits set by Allah, and this includes worshipping deities other than Allah. Acts of worship include prostration, bowing down, invocation, making vows, and slaughtering.

Obedience in legislation is also an act of worship.

Allah said about the Christians: "They took their rabbis and their monks to be Lords besides Allah". Although they did not prostrate, or bow down to their priests, they followed them and agreed with them in the forbiddance of the permissible and with the enjoining of the forbidden. Allah therefore considered that as making them (their priests) lords and gods, because the obedience in legislation is a form of worship, and must not be for any one except for Allah, since Allah is the only One who can provide legislation.

Therefore, anyone who seeks to implement a legislation created by someone other than Allah, is in fact a polytheist.

As an evidence for this is the incident which took place during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (salallaahu 'alaihi wa'sallam) between the followers of ar-Rahman and those of Shaytan over a dead goat. The polytheist people wanted to persuade the Muslims that there was no difference between the goat that the Muslims slaughter, and the goat that dies alone or 'naturally'. They claimed that Allah had slaughtered the dead goat. But in reply to this, Allah sent down His Judgement and said: "... if you obey them, you will surely become an idolater."

So the word 'deity' includes anyone who makes himself a legislator with Allah, ruler or ruled, a representative in the parliament (the legislative authority), or the persons who select him, because he exceeded the limits. Man was created to be a servant of Allah and Allah ordered him to accept His legislation, but man rejected and exceeded the limits. He wanted to equate himself with Allah, and to participate in the legislation of Allah, which is not allowed for anyone except Allah. If anyone transgresses the limits and does that, he makes himself a legislator, and he will be enacting the role of a deity. His Islam and his monotheism will not be accepted, unless and until he disbelieves in what he did and avoids it, and fights to get rid of its slaves and helpers - i.e. until he knows for certain that democracy is a false ideology. Allah said "... and they wish to go for judgement to the Taghut, while they have been ordered to reject them".

Mujahid said: "The deity... is a Satan in the shape of a human whom people turn to for judgement, and they follow him".

Shaykh-ul-Islam lbn Taymiyyah said: "... for this reason the one who judges without referring to the Holy Book (Qur’an) is a deity".

Ibn Al-Qayyim said: "Everyone who exceeded his limits either worshipped, followed or obeyed - so, the deity of any people is the one who they make a judge besides Allah and His prophet, or worship other than Allah, or follow him without taking any consideration of Allah, or obey him in a matter that is a disobedience to Allah".

He also said: "Whosoever does not judge or turn to what the messengers of Allah brought for judgement is eventually following a deity"

One of the worshipped deities nowadays, that every monotheist must disbelieve in - as well as disbelieving in its followers - in order to hold on to the firmest handhold and to be saved from the Hell fire, are the transitory man-made gods and goddesses of the so called legislature.

Allah said: "Have they other associates who have prescribed another law for them that has not been dispensed by Allah? But for the decisive word (of Allah) a sentence would have been passed amongst them...".

People have followed these legislators and agreed to make their legislation as a right and characteristic for them, for their parliaments, and for their local, regional, and international ruling faculties. They showed through their constitutions, that it is the people who in fact provide legislation.

Therefore, the legislators became gods to every one who obeyed and followed them, or agreed with them in this disbelief and polytheism, just as Allah said about the Christians, when they followed their priests and the anchorites (or monks). The followers of today’s democracy are worse and more impure than such priests and monks. This is because the priests did not claim to make what they said a law or a legal system, and they did not make constitutions, or books. Neither did they punish those who did not accept or practice what they said. Neither did they use Allah's book to provide evidences for their false deities.

If you come to understand this, you should know that the greatest step of adherence to this firmest handhold and the highest step of disbelief in this man-made deity is the Climax of Islam. By this I mean 'The Jihad'.

The Jihad against the deity, his followers, and helpers, to try to damage this man-made system, and to try to get the people to turn away from worshipping it and return to the worship of Allah alone. There must be a declaration and an open speech with the truth, just as the prophets did - and we must do this in the same way, and upon the same path - a path that Allah clearly showed us, when He ordained us to take Ibrahim’s religion and his call as a model.

He said: "you have an excellent model in Ibrahim and those who were with him when he said to his people: “We are through with you and those you worship other than Allah. We reject you. Enmity and hate have come between you and us for ever, unless you believe in Allah, the One”.

So the meaning of this saying has become obvious. Consider how Allah started with the enmity before the hate. Enmity is more important, because a human may hate the deity’s followers, but may not consider them as enemies. So a human will not be doing his duty or obligation, unless he hates them, and takes them as enemies. Consider how Allah mentioned their disapproval of the polytheist people, before the disapproval of what they worshipped, because the first is more important than the second. Many people show disapproval to stones, idols, deities, constitutions, laws, and void religions, but refuse to show a strong disapproval to the slaves, or the helpers of these deities, and void religions.

Therefore, such a person will not be fulfilling his duty or obligation. If he shows the disapproval to the polytheist slaves of the deities, it means that he also shows disapproval to their void religions, and whatever it is that they worship.

The lowest obligatory step upon everyone, that no one can save himself without, is the avoidance of the deity and avoidance of following him in his polytheism and his falsehood. Allah said: "to every community We have sent an apostle (saying) “worship Allah, and keep away from all other deities". And He said: "So shun the abomination of idols, and shun lying speech". And He said about Ibrahim’s invocation: "...And preserve me and my progeny from worshiping idols".

If anyone does not avoid the deity in this world by refusing to worship him now, he will become one of the losers in the Hereafter. Nothing of the religion will be useful or advantageous to him, and he will regret it at the time when the remorse will be useless to him. Then there will be a wish to return to this world to live again. Then they will say that they will avoid false taghut, and will follow the firmest handhold, and will follow this great religion. Allah said: "When those who were followed will disclaim those who followed them, and seeing the torment, all ties between them shall be severed. And the followers will say “Could we live but once again we would leave them as they have abandoned us now” God will show them thus their deeds, and fill them with remorse, but never shall they find release from the Fire" .

But it will be too late, there will be no return to this world. So if you want the safety and hope of Allah’s mercy, that Allah gave the pious people, you must avoid all of the deities. Avoid their polytheism now! Now! No one can avoid them in the hereafter unless he avoids them in this world. But for everyone who supported their void religion and followed them, there will be a Caller in the Hereafter who will say: "He who worshipped anything will follow it. He who worshipped the sun will follow it. He who worshipped the moon will follow it. He who worshipped the deities, will follow them", but those who believed in Allah will be asked: "What are you waiting for? Why do you not follow them?" and they will say: "We are waiting for our God and we are not following them because we did not follow them in the first life when we were badly in need of their money and authority, so how come you ask us to follow them now ?" .

These are some of the road marks, that Allah said "Gather all the wicked together and their Comrades, and those they had worshipped". Comrades means: everyone who is like them, their helpers and supporters in falsehood. Then Allah said: "So, they will become partners in punishment. That is how we deal with sinners. They were those who, when it was said to them “there is no god but Allah” behaved with insolence.".

Be careful! Do not reject and avoid the monotheistic word. Do not waste what is being implied in that word, and be ever prideful over the righteous word: that is the Oneness of Allah. Do not waste the following of the Truth, do not insist on helping the deities, because you will be with the people of destruction, sharing with them in their end, on the Day of Judgement.

You should know that Allah made this pure Deen, the religion of Islam, and that Allah has chosen it for His monotheistic servants. So, everyone who follows it, his work will be accepted, and whoever follows any other religion, then it will be rejected and he will be one of the losers. Allah said: "And Ibrahim left this legacy to his son, and to Yaqub, and said “O, my son, Allah has chosen this as the faith for you. Don’t die but as those who have submitted (to Allah)" .

And He said: "The true way with Allah is submission"

And: "And who ever seeks a way other than submission to Allah, it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the world to come."

Be careful not to limit the word 'religion' just to Christianity, or Judaism and so on, because you may follow the other void religions and go astray. It includes every religion, method, judgment system, and law that the creatures follow and adhere to. All of these false religions must be left, and avoided. We must disbelieve in them, avoid their helpers and supporters, and work only for the monotheistic religion: the religion of Islam. Allah said, ordering us to say this to all disbelievers with their different religions: "Say: “O, disbelievers! I worship not that which you worship, Nor will you worship that which I worship, and I shall not worship that which you are worshipping, Nor will you worship that which I worship. To you be your religion, and to me my religion."

So every religious community within the disbelieving communities that agreed with, met with, or gathered to a system that contradicts Islam, that has become their religion. This may include Communism, Socialism, Secularism, and other such innovated methods, and principles, which men invented with their own minds, and then satisfied these ideas to be their own religions.
