\'Our Hearts are Still Adhering to the Truth\'

2012-02-16T14:46:00.001+02:00

In his book, Siyar A‘laam An-Nubalaa’ (11/238), Ath-Thahabi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said that during the ordeal of Imaam Ahmad, may Allaah have mercy upon him, it was said to him, “O Abu ‘Abdullaah! Do you not see that falsehood is being victorious over the truth?” He replied, “No. The victory of falsehood over truth is when the hearts change from guidance to error but our hearts are still adhering to the truth.”
How badly are we in need for this accurate criterion that shows the reality of the victory of falsehood over truth, especially in this age when many hearts have been affected by trials of doubtful issues and desires, we seek refuge with Allaah The Almighty from them.
One of the most serious trials is confusion about the reality of the victory of the truth in one’s heart which may be induced by any cause, since confusion about the criteria of judgment necessarily leads to an unstable methodology. At this point, the person on his way of Allaah The Almighty becomes confused because of the confusion of criteria, as he sometimes links the truth to the greater number of followers; some other times, he links it to power; and sometimes to victory of the people of falsehood or any other thing. None of this brings any benefit to man.

Indeed, the conviction of Imam Ahmad, may Allaah have mercy upon him, in refuting this allegation, that some of his companions mentioned, was not an instant reaction, but it was the result of his profound understanding of the Book of Allaah and the Seerah (biography) of His Messenger, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, along with his scrutiny of the history of the people of the truth in their struggle against falsehood and the people who follow it.

Allaah The Almighty Says (what means):

· {That He should establish the truth and abolish falsehood, even if the criminals disliked it.} [Quran 8:8]

· {And say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart."} [Quran 17:81]

· {Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.}[Quran 21:18]

Anyone who contemplates the previous verses and those that are similar can never be shaken regarding the fact that the truth must be victorious and must triumph over falsehood and those who follow it.

Since this is addressed to our dear Muslim sisters, they should bear this fact in mind especially at this time when many women are awed by the glamour of falsehood and have weakened belief in the truth.

This entails that women should recognize the truth by means of its evidence so that it would remain an established belief in the heart and cannot be shaken by temporary changes or temptations.

The concealed Fitnah (trial) in this regard is represented in two matters:

The first one is the confusion between truth and falsehood because of the great number of those who call to falsehood and the powerful means that they use to propagate it.

The second one is that many Muslim women have become negligent in seeking the truth and knowing its supporting proof which gives strength to their ‘Aqeedah (creed) and faith. Supporting proof is like a weapon that is necessary for the one who is engaged in fighting. If someone goes to war without a weapon, what would happen to him?

Because of this, the evidence that a woman holds to support the correctness of what she is doing will be vulnerable and she will be in a state of emotional defence without being able to show the proofs and make her true argument victorious. She will be criticized by others and will soon receive a fatal blow because of attacks of criticism. When this happens, she will become weak enough to be a recipient which is a disaster as she surrenders and her faith deteriorates (we seek refuge with Allaah The Almighty from this).

In conclusion, Muslim women nowadays, are badly in need to be armed with knowledge that is coupled with proof, not only to be enlightened and certain regarding religious matters, but also to transfer this knowledge to others before they are swept away by the flood, and before they become confused about the criteria of judging the victory of the truth. To Allaah The Almighty belongs the command before and after. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {He whom Allaah guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray -- never will you find for him a protecting guide.} [Quran 18:17]

Nouveaux bombardements sur Gaza: un enfant mort et 17 blessés; 7 morts au total

21/08/2011
Gaza-PNN- Un enfant a été retrouvé mort vendredi à l'aube et dix autres civils ont été blessés alors que Gaza City était bombardé toute la nuit. Le nombre de morts à Gaza depuis jeudi se porte à 7.
Des sources locales ont annoncé que des avions de chasse ont tiré des missiles sur une maison dans le quartier d'al-Sodaniyah à Gaza City, tuant Mohammed Abu Samra, 13 ans. Les sources médicales ont annoncé que 17 personnes étaient blessées, parmi lesquelles se trouvent des femmes et des enfants.
Jeudi soir, des avions de chasse israéliens ont attaqué une maison dans la ville de Rafah, dans le sud de la bande de Gaza, tuant six Palestiniens dont Abu Awad al Nierab, secrétaire général du Comité de Résistance Populaire basé à Gaza.
L'assaut d'Israël s'est produit peu de temps après que des hommes armés ont attaqué la frontière avec l'Egypte au sud d'Israël près de la ville côtière d'Eilat, tuant 8 soldats et en blessant 30 autres.
Aucun groupe palestinien n'a revendiqué cette action mais l'armée israélienne a décidé de blâmer le Comité de Résistance Populaire de Gaza.

Ramadan and food

2011-08-09T15:52:00.000+03:00

Allaah The Almighty says (what means): "And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers" [Quran 51:55]
Acting upon this verse, we would like to remind our honorable Muslim brothers and sisters that one of the many bounties from Allaah that necessitate showing (practical) gratitude and appreciation, is that of food which we desire and find readily available. How many a person desired food but could not find it, and how many a time people found food but could not eat it.

We should be thankful to Allaah Who granted us various types of foods and drinks to the point that we can be creative and innovative in the manner we prepare and serve them.

However, this should not make us forget that these are bounties which many people take for granted and are heedless of the fact that they are actually bounties. It should also not make us forget our Muslim brothers and sisters who were tested with the hardship of hunger and thirst, both in our era and in the early generations.

Let us always remember our beloved Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, who had to tie two rocks around his stomach due to extreme hunger during the period of the oppressive siege that was imposed on him, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and his followers, may Allaah be pleased with them, by the Makkan people.

Let us not forget that the houses of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, would not have cooking fire lit in them for two consecutive months, and all they (he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and his family members, may Allaah be pleased with them) had to eat was dates and water.

One of the ways to perfectly reflect gratitude for the bestowed bounties is to stay within the Islamic boundaries and adhere to the Islamic measures and criteria set forth by Allaah.

We should be very careful not to be extravagant in the issue of cooking, especially during this blessed month. Allaah says (what means):

"And be not excessive. Indeed, He does not like those who commit excess." [Quran 6:141]

"And eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess." [Quran 7:31]

Let our role model always be our Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, who guided us not to be excessive with respect to food and not to overeat and to only consume what our bodies need.
Let us be mindful of the fact that eating is not an objective in itself, but rather a means to strengthen our bodies in order to better worship Allaah and serve His religion

Ou bien le génie qui a parvenu à effacer la haine entre les tribus antagonistes et y diffuser la paix ?

كل مسلم يحب محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم أكثر من كل شئ

Tout musulman doit aimer Mohammed « que la prière et le salut de Dieu soient sur lui » plus que tout le monde

قبل أن تقول رأيك أدعوك ان تكون محايد فإذا أردت أن تحكم على شخص فعليك :

أن تسمع منه هو شخصيا ، أنت تستمع الي أحاديثه ، ان تتبع أعماله

تقارن الأفكار التي يدعو لها مع المنطق الذى يقبله العقل السليم

فاذا أقررت منطقه أنظر إلى فعله هل فعله مطابق لكلامه؟

ان كان فعله مطابق لكلامه فما عليك إلا تصديقه

وفي النهاية سوف تجيب بنفسك على هذه الأسئلة المحيرة:

من هو محمد

Avant de nous donner votre opinion, je vous demande d’être neutre avant de dire quoi que ce soit sur une personne tu dois :

1- Ecouter, et chercher à savoir qui c’est, d’écouter ses citations, et de suivre ses actes.

2-Comparaitre ses idées avec la logique

3- Si tu es convaincu que ses idées sont logiques, vérifies si ses actes ne sont pas en contradictions avec ses paroles

4- Si ses actes sont en parfaite conformité avec ses paroles tu n’as qu’avoir foi en lui

Et enfin, c’est toi qui répondras à ses questions confuses.

Qui est Mohammed « que la prière et le salut de Dieu soient sur lui » ?

QUALITIES OF ALLAH'S SERVANTS

[25:63] And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!";

[25:64] Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing;

[25:65] Those who say, "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous,-

[25:66] "Evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in";

[25:67] Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes);

[25:68] Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment.

[25:69] (But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy,-

[25:70] Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful,

[25:71] And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with an (acceptable) conversion;-

[25:72] Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honourable (avoidance);

[25:73] Those who, when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind;

[25:74] And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous."

[25:75] Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy: therein shall they be met with salutations and peace,

[25:76] Dwelling therein;- how beautiful an abode and place of rest!
(Al-Quran)

The Day of Judgment

: http://www.shariqkh an.page.tl

Our present life is only a trial preparation for the next realm of existence. This life is a test for each one of us, so we should all get prepared for the hereafter life.

On the Day of Judgment, this world we're living in will come to an end and, the dead will be resurrected for judgment by God.

This day will be the beginning of a life that will never end. It's the day when all people will be rewarded by God according to their beliefs and deeds. Those who die as believers, (believing that “There is no true god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”) and are Muslim will be rewarded on that day and will be admitted to Paradise forever, as Allah says:

"And those who believe and do good deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they dwell therein forever."
(Qur'an, 2:82)

Whereas those who die while not believing that “There is no true god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah” or are not Muslim will lose Paradise forever and will be sent to Hellfire, as God says:

"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter."

(Qur'an, 3:85)

Allah also says:

"Those who have disbelieved and died in disbelief, the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them if it were offered as a ransom. They will have a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers."

(Qur'an, 3:91)

After having sent the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to call people to Islam, Allah does not accept adherence to any religion other than Islam. Allah is our only Creator and Sustainer.

Allah created for us whatever is on the earth. All the blessings and good things we have are from Him. So after all this, when someone rejects belief in Allah, His Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), or His religion of Islam, it is just that he or she be punished in the Hereafter. Actually, the main reason after which we were brought to life on earth is to worship Allah alone and obey Him.

This life we live today is a very short life, and will come to an end at one day nobody knows but Allah. The unbelievers on the Day of Judgment will think that the life they lived on earth was only a day or part of a day, as Allah has says:

(Allah) will say, “How many years did you stay on the earth?” They will say: “We stayed a day or part of a day....”

(Qur'an, 23:112-113)

Allah also says:

"Did you then think that We had created you in jest (without any purpose), and that you would not be returned to Us (in the Hereafter)? So, God is exalted, the True King. None has the right to be worshipped but Him... "

(Qur'an, 23:115-116)

The life in the Hereafter is the real life, the life that lasts forever. It is not only spiritual, but physical as well. We will live there with our souls and bodies.

In comparing this world with the Hereafter, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

(The value of this world compared to that of the Hereafter is like what your finger brings from the sea when you put it in and then take it out.)

The meaning is that, the value of this world compared to that of the Hereafter is like a few drops of water compared to the sea. Thus we should all get prepared for that day, compete in having Hasanat (good deed), for at the Day of Judgment no one, not even your mom, will be able to rescue you from Hell if your deeds were bad. As Allah says:

And Upon that Day, the wrongdoer shall bite at his hands and say: "Would that I had taken a Path with the Messenger".

Power Foods During Ramadan

2011-08-01T15:59:00.000+03:00

Do you find it difficult to have a balanced food intake during Ramadan? Try out some of Sumaiya Latif’s healthy recipes

for Sahur (pre-dawn meal).

RAMADAN AWAITS OUR encounter. Muslims all over the world will unite to sight the new moon. There is excitement as the families come together to rejoice in this beautiful month, whilst mums still contemplate on what to prepare for the dawn meal and Iftar the next day. Rising before the sun and preparing a meal before dawn can be a challenge for many, and our graceful mothers are worthy of thanks and abundant rewards for this task. Let us explore ways to boost your vitality as well as keep

your energy levels soaring to ensure you and your families are happy and healthy throughout the days during this beautiful awaited month of Ramadan.
The Prophet’s Advice on Sahur
Anas (pbuh) quoted the Prophet (Pbuh) as saying, “(Make sure to) have your sahur meal, for sahur is blessed.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim). Amr ibn Al-`Aas quoted the Prophet (Pbuh) saying, “The difference between our fasting and that of the People of the Book is the sahur meal.” (Muslim)

Can’t stomach the Pre-Dawn Meal?

Many people find it challenging to have a meal immediately upon rising. This is often due to sluggish liver function and lack of bile secretion and digestive juices. To alleviate this, add a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice in a little warm water and drink just before the meal.

Here are some healthy options for theSahur meal:
Smoothie Power Sahur

This would be ideal for people who find it hard to eat in the mornings. This will provide a filling, nutritious drink that will provide energy throughout the day.

Option 1:

• 2 scoops protein powder with full amino acid profile (available at health food stores)

• 1 banana

• 2 tbsp of nuts and seeds of choice (linseeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, sesame & pumpkin seeds)

• ¼ cup rolled oats (cooked)
• 1 tbsp plain unsweetened yogurt

• 1 cup milk (cow’s milk, soy milk, almond milk or coconut milk)

• Add honey or blackstrap molasses to sweeten
• Blend together in a food processor
The Low Glycaemic Index (GI) Sahur

This may be beneficial for people who have a tendency to feel tired, dizzy or thirsty during the days, even when not fasting. Foods with a low GI help stabilize blood glucose levels by regulating insulin production and release. Insulin is responsible for uptake of glucose into the cells for energy. When we eat foods that are high in sugars, the body produces excess insulin to transport the glucose molecules into the cells for energy production. This causes a sharp rise and decline in insulin levels, which also causes a rapid rise and fall in blood glucose levels shortly after, resulting in less energy/fatigue. Visit the website: www.glycemicindex.com for more information.

Option 2: Low GI

• Oats (Raw, cooked with water) or muesli with fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries) and plain yogurt, sprinkled with cinnamon.

*One serve of fresh fruit (apple, mango, pear, kiwi, pawpaw).

• Herbal Tea (Rooibos/ Redbush or Chamomile Tea) with honey to taste.

Protein Power Sahur ~

Wholesome & Hearty

The best option to satisfy hungry tummies in the morning, protein provides a stable source of energy and promotes satiety which keeps you feeling full for longer. Eggs are a great source of protein and are suitable for most.

The myth around eggs and cholesterol has been nullified since research has shown it beneficial to include both, even in the diet of people with elevated cholesterol levels (provided they are not fried).

Option 3:

• 2 egg Omelette or Frittata – add fresh chopped tomato, mushroom, capsicum, onion and chopped fresh herbs (basil & parsley) and enjoy with a warm wholemeal tortilla wrap or serve cut into wedges

• Poached – with toasted wholegrain bread and smoked salmon with cream cheese

• Soft boiled eggs with soldiers (toasted multigrain bread cut into fingers)

• Hard boiled eggs with toast (Rye bread/Burgen Soy&Linseed/ Vogel Honey& Oat)

*Avoid processed spreads, jam and margarine, which contain trans fats.

• Healthy Spreads include: butter, mashed avocado, hummus (chickpea spread), tahini (sesame seed spread) or cottage cheese.

So take your pick and start your day with sahur the healthy way!

L'existence de l'au-delà et du jour du Jugement

Il existe plusieurs types d'individus sur terre: ceux qui sont honnêtes et ceux qui mentent; ceux qui craignent Dieu et reconnaissent les limites qu'Il a instaurées et ceux qui se révoltent contre Lui. Le sort réservé à chacun dépendra de son attitude. Par son infinie miséricorde, Dieu récompensera chacun en toute justice. Cette promesse absolue est proclamée dans les versets suivants:

Ceux qui commettent de mauvaises actions comptent-ils que Nous allons les traiter comme ceux qui croient et accomplissent les bonnes œuvres, dans leur vie et dans leur mort? Comme ils jugent mal! Et Allah a créé les cieux et la terre en toute vérité et afin que chaque âme soit rétribuée selon ce qu'elle a acquis. Ils ne seront cependant pas lésés. (Sourate al-Jathya: 21-22)

Dans l'au-delà, justice sera rendue. Dieu sait certes tout ce qui se passe, que ce soit bon ou mauvais.Nul n'est donc censé ignorer que l'au-delà existe. Ce sera le moment où la justice de Dieu se manifestera pleinement et où chaque action sera jugée équitablement. Il faut par ailleurs souligner que le fait de dire "quand nous mourrons, nous serons réduits à l'état de poussière" ne met nullement à l'abri de la résurrection et du jugement dernier.

On a beau vouloir se tromper soi-même dans ce monde en cherchant à "profiter un maximum de la vie" et à éviter de penser à l'au-delà, même si on parvient à étouffer la voix de sa conscience, on n'échappera pas à la mort que Dieu nous a prédestinée un jour donné, ni à la résurrection dont Dieu est seul à connaître la date. Qu'on admette ce fait ou pas, chaque être sera ressuscité et présenté devant Dieu. Ce jour-là chacun recevra sa part de récompense selon ses bonnes et mauvaises actions. Nous serons ensuite envoyés vers notre véritable demeure pour y recevoir nos récompenses. Ceux qui ont nié l'existence de l'au-delà, ainsi que ceux qui se sont contentés de jouir des biens d'ici-bas seront envoyés en enfer, à moins que Dieu ne fasse preuve de miséricorde infinie en leur pardonnant. Dieu décrit la mentalité, le discours et l'état des mécréants qui prétendaient ne pas comprendre l'existence de la vie après la mort dans ces versets:

Celui qu'Allah guide, c'est lui le bien guidé et ceux qu'Il égare... tu ne leur trouveras jamais d'alliés en dehors de Lui. Au jour de la Résurrection, Nous les rassemblons traînés sur leurs visages, aveugles, muets et sourds. L'enfer sera leur demeure: chaque fois que son feu s'affaiblit, Nous leur accroîtrons la flamme ardente. Telle sera leur sanction parce qu'ils ne croient pas en Nos preuves et disent: "Quand nous serons ossements et poussière, serons-nous ressuscités en une nouvelle création?" (Sourate al-Isra: 97-98)

La réponse à cette question est ÉVIDENTE. Le monde dans lequel nous vivons est rempli de preuves de la glorieuse création de Dieu. Il ne fait pas de doute que le Créateur méticuleux de notre environnement est capable de créer l'équivalent de ce qui nous entoure dans l'au-delà. Dans un autre verset, Dieu interpelle les mécréants à travers des questions aux réponses évidentes:

N'ont-ils pas vu qu'Allah qui a créé les cieux et la terre est capable de créer leurs pareils? Il leur a fixé un terme, sur lequel il n'y a aucun doute, mais les injustes s'obstinent dans leur mécréance. (Sourate al-Isra: 99)

Nul n'est censé ignorer que l'homme sera jugé et récompensé selon ses actions dans l'au-delà, le jour où la justice de Dieu se manifestera pleinement.

En dépit du fait qu'elles croient en l'au-delà, certaines personnes ne méditent pas profondément sur la question. Elles disent ignorer qu'elles se retrouveront face à tout ce qu'elles auront accompli dans ce monde.

Elles se trompent en interprétant l'au-delà, le jour du Jugement, le paradis et l'enfer à leur manière au lieu de se référer à ce que Dieu nous en dit dans le Coran.

Dieu nous décrit l'au-delà dans les détails, le moment du Jugement, ceux qui iront au paradis et ceux qui seront envoyés en enfer. Le jour du Jugement, chaque homme se tiendra seul devant Dieu et fera un compte-rendu de l'ensemble de sa vie sur terre. Dieu accordera le paradis éternel ainsi que des faveurs en abondance à ceux qui se sont efforcés de lui plaire. En revanche, ceux qui ne se sont guère souciés de l'au-delà connaîtront les tourments, à moins d'une miséricorde de Dieu.

Se trompent également ceux qui comptent accéder au paradis grâce à la miséricorde divine en toute circonstance, ceux qui affirment ne pas avoir nui à autrui, ou encore ceux qui limitaient leur pratique religieuse à quelques actes sporadiques. Dieu attire notre attention sur ces hommes qui, même conscients de la vérité, continuent à se fabriquer des excuses:

Vers ton Seigneur sera, ce jour-là, le retour. L'homme sera informé ce jour-là de ce qu'il aura avancé et de ce qu'il aura remis à plus tard. Mais l'homme sera un témoin perspicace contre lui-même, quand même il présenterait ses excuses. (Sourate al-Qiyamah: 12-15)

Comme l'indique ce verset du Coran, l'homme est un témoin contre lui-même. Chacun sait la vérité; aussi quel sens y a-t-il à se chercher des excuses? Se cacher derrière le vice des autres ne sauvera personne le jour du Jugement. Si l'on s'est gardé de plaire à Dieu, des parents ou des grands-parents religieux ne seront d'aucun secours, ni le fait d'avoir nourri des pauvres, ni le fait de se dire musulman. Chacun est responsable de ses propres actes. Nous nous présenterons seuls devant Dieu et nous serons jugés seuls. Aucune excuse ne tient face au devoir que nous avons de plaire à Dieu. Peu importe que vous soyez très occupés, que vous deviez travailler dur pour vos enfants, que vous occupiez de postes dédiés à l'amélioration des conditions de vie de l'humanité, vous devez avant toute chose rechercher le plaisir de Dieu. Il est important de se rappeler que toutes ces déclarations relèvent de notre propre point de vue et non de celui du Coran car cela ne nous sauvera nullement d'une fin désastreuse. Sans aucun doute, le Coran est la meilleure source qui peut nous fournir l'information nécessaire pour atteindre le paradis.

Aucun prétexte ne sera suffisamment convaincant pour sauver de l'au-delà ceux qui embrassent des modes de vie autres que ceux loués dans le Coran, ceux qui se tournent vers la religion dans leurs dernières années, ceux qui se trompent eux-mêmes ainsi que les autres. Ceux-là ne seront pas autorisés à parler le jour du Jugement. Dieu n'acceptera pas les mensonges. Ils regretteront sincèrement d'avoir abusé des bontés de Dieu et de ne pas avoir obéi à Ses commandements:

Et que ce jour-là, on amènera l'enfer; ce jour-là, l'homme se rappellera. Mais à quoi lui servira de se souvenir? Il dira: "Hélas! Que n'ai-je fait du bien pour ma vie future!" Ce jour-là donc, nul ne saura châtier comme Lui châtie, et nul ne saura garrotter comme Lui garrotte. (Sourate al-Fajr: 23-26)

Ce jour-là, l'éternelle justice de Dieu séparera ceux qui ont écouté la voix de leur conscience de ceux qui ne l'ont pas fait. Préparez-vous à l'au-delà pour ne pas être parmi les perdants. N'oubliez jamais que vous devrez rendre compte de vos actes. Ne gaspillez pas vos efforts dans des futilités.

La vie éphémère ici-bas ne vaut rien comparée à l'au-delà. Les châteaux imposants, les maisons ostentatoires entourées de jardins, les yachts, les voitures flambant neuves, les discothèques, les hôtels de luxe, les professions honorables, les enfants sains, les belles épouses… toutes ces faveurs ont certes un attrait. Une vie entière peut être consumée à accumuler ces biens. Néanmoins, cela n'empêchera pas l'homme de connaître l'au-delà. Ce jour-là, il devra abandonner tout ce qui lui a été accordé.

Peut-être êtes-vous parmi ceux qui ont consacré leur vie à la course aux biens. Cependant ne prétendez jamais ignorer que toutes vos richesses ne vous sauveront pas dans l'au-delà.

À l'instant où les anges viendront prendre votre âme, vous quitterez ce monde en laissant derrière vous tout ce que vous possédiez. Il n'y aura aucune possibilité de retour. Lorsque vous serez ressuscité, vous serez jugé ailleurs en présence de Dieu. Vous ne serez alors interrogé ni sur vos biens, ni sur vos enfants, ni sur votre statut, ni sur votre éducation. Ce jour-là, les dirigeants les plus proéminents, les rois, les reines n'auront aucune supériorité par rapport aux autres. Aucun ami ne se souciera du sort de son ami. Au bout du compte, les mécréants finiront par offrir tous les biens matériels en échange de leur salut:

Où nul ami dévoué ne s'enquerra d'un ami, bien qu'ils se voient l'un l'autre. Le criminel aimerait pouvoir se racheter du châtiment de ce jour, en livrant ses enfants, sa compagne, son frère, même son clan qui lui donnait asile, et tout ce qui est sur la terre, tout, qui pourrait le sauver. Mais rien [ne le sauvera]. [L'enfer] est un brasier arrachant brutalement la peau du crâne. Il appellera celui qui tournait le dos et s'en allait, amassait et thésaurisait. (Sourate al-Maarij: 10-18)

Méditez sur ces versets. Et n'oubliez pas que la douleur de ce jour sera si intense que l'on sera prêt à tout donner pour sauver sa peau.

Dans le verset suivant, Dieu explique que les mécréants donneraient la terre entière, s'ils la possédaient afin d'éviter les tourments de l'enfer:

Si les injustes possédaient tout ce qui se trouve sur la terre, et autant encore, ils l'offriraient comme rançon pour échapper au pire châtiment le jour de la Résurrection; et leur apparaîtra, de la part d'Allah, ce qu'ils n'avaient jamais imaginé. (Sourate az-Zumar: 47)

En réalité, un bref moment de réflexion suffit à l'homme doté d'un esprit sain pour arriver à la conclusion évidente. Personne ne refuserait une place au paradis qu'on lui propose, dût-il y sacrifier tous ses biens, sa famille, son statut. C'est précisément le devoir de l'homme: faire don de sa richesse et de soi à Dieu, se détacher d'ambitions inutiles de cette vie, vivre pour la satisfaction de Dieu et recevoir ainsi le paradis en récompense. Le problème reste que l'homme se trompe en croyant que la vie est longue. C'est pourquoi certains préfèrent cette vie ici-bas, qui en réalité est courte et éphémère, au paradis éternel.

D'une part, il y a une existence éphémère d'une durée de soixante à soixante-dix ans et d'autre part, il y a une vie sans fin. D'une part, une belle vie éternelle et sans pareille où tous les désirs seront exaucés sans aucun effort et d'autre part, une vie courte et temporaire où tout est condamné à l'imperfection. Peu importe que vous soyez jeune et beau, le destin veut que cette vie expire en quelques décennies ou demain.

Tant que vous avez la possibilité de gagner votre place au paradis, n'étouffez jamais la voix de votre conscience au nom de quelques biens temporaires de ce monde. N'ignorez pas que certains seront perdants pour l'éternité parce qu'ils ne réfléchissent pas.

L'existence de l'au-delà est niée par beaucoup de gens. Pourtant, c'est bien sur ce point que Dieu éprouve les hommes. Aussi met-Il en garde Ses serviteurs contre le fait de suivre la majorité:

Et si tu obéis à la majorité de ceux qui sont sur la terre, ils t'égareront du sentier d'Allah: ils ne suivent que la conjecture et ne font que fabriquer des mensonges. (Sourate al-An'am: 116)
En aucun cas, le point de vue de la majorité ne doit vous affecter négativement puisque chacun est responsable de soi. Cette réalité suffit à accroître la crainte de Dieu chez les personnes consciencieuses. Ne vous cachez jamais derrière le fait que "la plupart de gens font pareil". Même si vous êtes seul à poursuivre vos efforts, continuez à préparer votre place dans l'au-delà.

Dans le Coran, Dieu nous explique ce que nous devons faire pour notre salut éternel. Le jour du Jugement, les hommes seront, en effet, jugés selon leur dévotion envers Dieu, leur crainte de Dieu et la conduite qui en découle. Seule une dévotion sincère assurera à l'homme une place de choix dans l'au-delà. Dieu nous prévient que ni les biens, ni la famille ne nous rapprochent de Lui et que seuls ceux qui croient et font de bonnes actions atteindront le paradis:

Ni vos biens ni vos enfants ne vous rapprocheront de Nous. Sauf celui qui croit et œuvre dans le bien. Ceux-là auront une double récompense pour ce qu'ils œuvraient, tandis qu'ils seront en sécurité, aux étages supérieurs du paradis. (Sourate Saba:37)
nous indique que seule la piété, taqwa, aura de la valeur en Sa présence:
Ô hommes! Nous vous avons créés d'un mâle et d'une femelle, et Nous avons fait de vous des nations et des tribus, pour que vous vous entre-connaissiez. Le plus noble d'entre vous, auprès d'Allah, est le plus pieux. Allah est certes omniscient et grand connaisseur. (Sourate al-Hujurat: 13)
Avec ce verset, vous ne pouvez plus prétendre ignorer que le salut éternel sera accordé selon la taqwa. La famille, les richesses et les leurres de ce monde n'auront alors aucune valeur devant Dieu. N'oubliez jamais le verset suivant:
Cette demeure dernière, Nous la réservons à ceux qui ne recherchent, ni à s'élever sur terre, ni à y semer la corruption. Cependant, l'heureuse fin appartient aux pieux. (Sourate al-Qasas: 83)

قال تعالى: (( إِيّاكَ نَعبدُ وإيّاكَ نَستعينُ )) الفاتحة (5)
هذه الآية من أعظم الآيات في كتاب الله عز وجل، ولهذا تجد أن الصالحين إذا قرؤها كان لها وقع عظيم في قلوبهم.
قال مزاحم: صلّى بنا سفيان الثوري المغرب، فقرأ حتى بلغ: (إِيّاكَ نَعبدُ وإيّاكَ نَستعينُ)، بكى حتى انقطَعَت قراءته، ثم عاد فقرأ: (الحَمدُ لله).
قال محمد بن عوف الحمصي: رأيت أحمد بن أبي الحواري قام يصلّي العشاء فاستفتح بـ (الحَمدُ لله ربِّ العالَمين) إلى (إِيّاكَ نَعبدُ وإيّاكَ نَستعينُ)، فطفت الحائط كُلّه ثم رجعت، فإذا هو لا يُجاوزها ثم نمت، ومررت في السحر وهو يقرأ: (إِيّاكَ نَعبدُ) فلم يزل يرددها إلى الصبح. (سير أعلام النبلاء)
قال ابن تيميّة رحمه الله: تأمّلتُ أنفع الدعاء فإذا هو سؤال العون على مرضاته تعالى، ثم رأيته في الفاتحة: (إِيّاكَ نَعبدُ وإيّاكَ نَستعينُ).

قال ابن القيم: قدّم العبادة على الاستعانة في قوله تعالى: (إِيّاكَ نَعبدُ وإيّاكَ نَستعينُ)، لأنّ العبادة قِسم الرّبِّ وحقُّه، والاستعانة مُراد العبد، ومن الطبيعي أن يُقدّم العبد ما يستوجب رضا الرب ويستدعي إجابته قبل أن يطلب منه شيئاً، وهو هنا التذلل لله والخضوع بين يديه بالعبادة، فكان القيام بالعبادة مظِنّةَ استجابة طلب الاستعانة.

On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah say :

"What I have forbidden to you, avoid; what I have ordered you [to do], do as much of it as you can. It was only their excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their prophets that destroyed those who were before you."

On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said : the messenger of Allah said :

"Allah the Almighty is good and accepts only that which is good. Allah has commanded the faithful to do that which he commanded the messengers, and the Almighty has said: "O ye messengers ! Eat of the good things and do right". And Allah the Almighty has said : "O ye who believe! Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you"

Then he mentioned [the case of] a man who, having journeyed far, is dishevelled and dusty and who spreads out his hands to the sky [saying] : "O Lord! O Lord!" - while his food is unlawful, his drink unlawful, his clothing unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can he be answered !"

It has been really hot these days and no way i could even touch anything woolen,so i had to make something cotton and i ended up knitting some dishcloths and a towel using some of my leftover stush since i have been pretty satisfied with the previous ones.

Aivan liian kuuma viime aikoina eikä millään saatehtyä mitään villaista .puuvilla lanka oli mielekkäämpi ,joten puuvilla jämistä välipalatyönä taas tiskirättejä entisiin olen ollut tosi tyytyväinen ja ne ovat olleet ahkerassa käytössä joten tein lisää, samalla saunapeflettikin oli tarpeen kun saunotaan usein.Nyt ainakin vähän jämiä nurkasta pois ja mitäs seuraavaksi sen sitten näkee kun lähtee tongimaan lanka varastojaan.Ne uudet Novitan langat eivät kyllä inspiroineet yhtään tällä kertaa saa nähdå tuleeko niitäkään ostettua.

Ramadan approaches

2011-07-08T16:36:00.000+03:00

Top 8 ways to boost your Ramadan spirit this year.

.1. Dua

Ask ALLAH to make this the most awesome, spiritually uplifting Ramadan you've ever had. Only He can make it happen and relying on Him completely is one step in boosting our spirits.

2. Quiet your mind, turn off the...

TV, internet, radio, cell phone, pager, iPod, etc. No, not all day, but for at least 10 minutes a day. Find a quiet place, close your eyes and connect with ALLAH. At first, your mind will swirl with the useless and not-so-useless info in your head. But force it to think of three things in these few minutes:

a. ALLAH

b. your purpose in life

c. are you living your life on purpose?

Do this every day of Ramadan if you can. If that's not possible, try it at least three times a week.

3. Learn about great Muslims

Even if you've read it before, read or listen to Abdul Wahid Hamid's Companions of the Prophet again this Ramadan. Read about or listen to the story of a Companion daily. Well-written and short, this is a wonderful way to see how other Muslims retained their strength of faith against incredible odds. A sure-fire spirituality booster.

4. Connect to the Quran

The Quran is God's way of talking to us. It's one of the most important keys to spiritual uplift. This Ramadan, connect to the Quran in a new way. If you already read Quran regularly, perhaps you can choose a new theme to focus on or select a Surah you haven't read in a while. If you don't read Quran regularly, maybe you can read just two minutes of Quran a day, reading only from the first page you encounter when you open up the Book.

In addition, try to keep a Quranic journal to record your reflections, questions, thoughts, etc. about what you've read.

5. Take care of others

Whether it's someone who's away from their family, a person who's having problems with a spouse or their kids or a fellow student struggling with their grades, make an extra effort this Ramadan to help others out. The spiritual boost you get in return is well worth it.

6. Feed the hungry
While your stomach shrieks in protest, give that panhandler some change, volunteer at a soup kitchen, get involved with your local food pantry or make a couple of bag lunches to give to the hungry you meet on your way to school or work.
7. Give up one lifelong bad habit
Ask yourself what some of your defining traits are. Then decide which is the worst of them. Is it a hot temper? Apathy? Laziness? Impatience? Whatever it is, use this Ramadan to put an end to it. Practice the opposite of your bad habit every day until the end of the month. By then Insha ALLAH, you'll look back and be amazed at what a change you've made for the better.
8. Use those Nights of Power

The last ten nights or Ramadan aren't called the Nights of Power for nothing. Use these precious times for deep, heartfelt Dua (supplication), self-analysis, reflection and serious thought.

Translation of Imam An-Nawawi's Book (hadeeth 5 and 6)

2011-07-03T08:10:00.000+03:00

On the authority of Aishah, who said : The messenger of Allah said:
"He who innovates something in this matter of ours that is not of it will have it rejected."
narrated by Bukhari and Muslim
And in one version by Muslim it reads :
"He who does an act which our matter is not [in agreement] with will have it rejected."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the authority of Al-Numan bin Basheer, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah say :
"That which is lawful is plain and that which is unlawful is plain and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which not many people know. Thus he who avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, but he who falls into doubtful matters falls into that which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allah's sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be whole, all the body is whole and which, if it be diseased, all of it is diseased. Truly it is the heart."

narrated by Bukhari and Muslim

To be continued insha ALLAH

وصفه للقضاء على الحزن

يحكى أن سـيدة لديها ابن وحي

أختطفــــه المــــوت فجــــــأة منها ...

حزنت السيدة لموت ولدها حزناً شديداً ، وذهبت إلى حكيم طلبت منه أن يخبرها بوصفة تمكنها من استعادة ابنها مهما كانت تلك الوصفة ...

أخذ الشيخ الحكيم نفسا عميقا وشرد بذهنه ثم قال: حسناً احضري لي حبة خردل واحدة بشرط أن تكون من بيت لم يعرف الحزن مطلقاً .

فرحت السيدة وبكل همة أخذت تدور على بيوت القرية كله وتبحث عن هدفـها حبة خردل من بيت لم يعرف الحزن مطلقا ...

طرقت السيدة بابا ففتحت لها امرأة شابة فسألتها السيدة

هل عرف هذا البيت حزنا من قبل؟

ابتسمت المرأة في مرارة وأجابت وهل عرف بيتي هذا إلا كل حزن؟

و أخذت تحكي لها أن زوجها توفى منذ سنة وترك لها أربعة من البنات والبنين ولا مصدر لإعالتهم سوى بيع أثاث الدار الذي لم يتبقى منه إلا القليل ...

تأثرت السيدة جدا وحاولت أن تخفف عنها أحزانها وبنهاية الزيارة صارتا صديقتين ولم ترد أن تدعها تذهب إلا بعد أن وعدتها بزيارة أخرى ، فقد فاتت مدة طويلة منذ أن فتحت قلبها أحد تشتكي له همومها ...

وقبل الغروب دخلت السيدة بيت آخر ولها نفس المطلب ولكن الإحباط سرعان ما أصابها عندما علمت من سيدة الدار أن زوجها مريض جدا و ليس عندها طعام كاف لأطفالها منذ فترة وسرعان ما خطر ببالها أن تساعد هذه السيدة فذهبت إلي السوق واشترت بكل ما معها من نقود طعام و بقول ودقيق وزيت ورجعت إلي سيدة الدار وساعدتها في طبخ وجبة سريعة للأولاد واشتركت معها

في إطعامها ثم ودعتها على أمل زيارتها في مساء اليوم التالي ...

وفي الصباح أخذت السيدة تطوف من بيت إلي بيت تبحث عن حبة الخردل وطال بحثها لكنها للأسف لم تجد ذلك البيت الذي لم يعرف الحزن مطلقا لكي تأخذ من أهله حبة الخردل ...

ولأنها كانت طيبة القلب فقد كانت تحاول مساعدة كل بيت تدخله في مشاكله وأفراحه وبمرور الأيام أصبحت السيدة صديقة لكل بيت في القرية ، نسيت تماما إنها كانت تبحث في الأصل على حبة خردل من بيت لم يعرف الحزن ذابت في مشاكل ومشاعر الآخرين ولم تدرك قط إن حكيم القرية قد منحها أفضل وصفة للقضاء على الحزن حتى ولو لم تجد حبة الخردل التي كانت تبحث عنها ...
الوصفة السحرية قد أخذتها بالفعل يوم دخلت أول بيت

من بيوت القرية

فرحاً مع الفرحين وبكاءً مع الباكيين
ليست مجرد وصفة اجتماعية لخلق جو من الألفة والاندماج بين الناس إنما هي دعوة لكي يخرج كل واحد من أنانيته وعالمه الخاص ليحاول أن يهب من حوله بعض المشاركة التي تزيد من بهجته في وقت الفرح وتعزيه وتخفف عنه في وقت الحزن إلي جانب أن هذه المشاركة لها فائدة مباشرة عليك ليس لأنها ستخرجك خارج أنانيتك ولا لأنها ستجعل منك شخصية محبوبة إنما لأنها ستجعلك إنسانا سعيدا أكثر مما أنت الآن .

ا السبت 2-7-2011 هو الأول من شعبان

فضل شهر شعبان:

عن أسامه بن زيد -رضي الله عنهما- قال: قلت يا رسول الله، لم أراك تصوم شهرًا من الشّهور ما تصوم من شعبان؟ قال: (ذاك شهرٌ يغفل النّاس عنه بين رجب ورمضان وهو شهرٌ يرفع فيه الأعمال إلى ربّ العالمين فأحب أن يرفع عملي وأنا صائم) حسنه الألباني.

كثرة صيامه -صلّى الله عليه وسلّم- في شعبان:

لما كان شعبان كالمقدمة لرمضان، فحَسُنَ أن يكون فيه شيءٌ مما يكون في رمضان من صيامٍ.

عن أمّ المؤمنين عائشة -رضي الله تعالى عنها- قالت: (كان رسول الله -صلّى الله عليه وسلّم- يصوم حتى نقول لا يفطر، ويفطر حتى نقول لا يصوم، فما رأيت رسول الله -صلّى الله عليه وسلّم- استكمل صيام شهرٍ إلا رمضان، وما رأيته أكثر صيامًا منه في شعبان) البخاري.

وعنها أيضًا -رضي الله تعالى عنها- قالت: (كان أحب الشّهور إلى رسول الله -صلّى الله عليه وسلّم- أن يصومه شعبان ثم يصله برمضان). رواه أبو داود والنّسائي وصححه الألباني.

قال الإمام ابن حجر -رحمه الله تعالى: "في الحديث دليل على فضل الصّوم في شعبان".

وقال الإمام ابن رجب -رحمه الله تعالى: "وأما صيام النّبيّ -صلّى الله عليه وسلّم- من أشهر السّنّة فكان يصوم من شعبان ما لا يصوم من غيره من الشّهور".

وقال الإمام الصّنعاني -رحمه الله تعالى: "وفيه دليلٌ على أنه يخص شعبان بالصّوم أكثر من غيره".

الحكمة في إكثاره صلّى الله عليه وسلّم الصّيام في شعبان:

قال الإمام ابن رجب -رحمه الله تعالى- في بيان حكمة الصيام في شعبان: "وفيه معانٍ وقد ذكر منها النّبيّ -صلّى الله عليه وسلّم- أنّه لما اكتنفه شهران عظيمان: الشّهر الحرام (رجب) وشهر الصيام (رمضان)، أشتغل النّاس بهما عنه، فصار مغفولاً عنه، وكثير من الناس يظنّ أنّ صيام رجب أفضل من صيام شعبان؛ لأنه شهر حرام، وليس كذلك" لطائف المعارف.

الإعجاز العلمي في صيام شعبان:

لقد ثبت علمياً أنّ الجسم في أيام الصّوم الأولى يبدأ باستهلاك مخزونه الاحتياطيّ من الدّهون والبروتينات وغيرها (لتعويض النّقص الحاصل بسبب تقليل الطّعام) فينتج عن ذلك سموم تتدفق في الدّم (هرمون الأدرينالين)، قبل أن يتخلص منه الجسم مع الفضلات، مما يؤدي إلى شعور الصّائم ببعض الأعراض: كالصداع والوهن وسرعة الغضب وتغيُّر المزاج وقد يشتم ويسب.. إلخ ممّا قد يضطرّه لأن يترك الصّيام أحياناً. وهذه الأعراض تزول بعد أن تعود نسب الهرمونات إلى وضعها الطّبيعيّ في الدّم خلال أيام من بدء الصّوم -بإذن الله تعالى- (وهذا ملاحظ لدى الصّائمين).

فصيام شعبان (المسنون) كالتّمرين على صيام رمضان (المفروض)، حتى لا يدخل المسلم في صوم رمضان على مشقةٍ وكلفةٍ ... والله سبحانه وتعالى أعلم.

تنبيه حول ليلة النصف من شعبان:

يعتقِد بعض الناس أن لليلة النصف من شعبان فضل ومزيّة على غيرها من الليالي، ولكن الصحيح أن جميع الأحاديث الواردة فيها ضعيفة أو موضوعة لا أصل لها، وهي ليلة ليس لها خصوصية، لا قراءة ولا صلاة خاصّة ولا جماعة.

An-Nawawi's Forty Hadiths ( 3 and 4)

2011-04-10T12:33:00.000+03:00

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the authority of Ibn Omar, the son of Omar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with both, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah say :

"Islam has been built on five [pillars]: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammed is the messenger of Allah, performing the prayers, paying the zakat, making the pilgrimage to the House, and fasting in Ramadan."

related by Bukhari and Muslim
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the authority of Abdullah bin Masud, who said : the messenger of Allah, and he is the truthful, the believed narrated to us :
"Verily the creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother's belly for forty days in the form of seed, then he is a clot of blood for a like period, then a morsel of flesh for a like period, then there is sent to him the angel who blows the breath of life into him and who is commanded about four matters: to write down his means of livelihood, his life span, his actions, and whether happy or unhappy. By Allah, other than Whom there is no god, verily one of you behaves like the people of Paradise until there is but an arm's length between him and it, and that which has been written over takes him and so he behaves like the people of Hell-fire and thus he enters it; and one of you behaves like the people of Hell-fire until there is but an arm's length between him and it, and that which has been written over takes him and so he behaves like the people of Paradise and thus he enters it."

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate

"And take that which the Messenger has brought you"
(the Holy Quran)
Translation of Imam An-Nawawi's Book
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the book of the Islamic scholar Yahia bin Sharaful-Deen An-Nawawi ( ). The book is now known as "An-Nawawi's Forty Hadiths". This is a popular small book in which the author gathered forty two of the sayings of prophet Muhammed salla Allah u alihi wa sallam. On the authority of Omar bin Al-Khattab, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah salla Allah u alihi wa sallam say :

"Actions are but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended. Thus he whose migration was for Allah and His messenger, his migration was for Allah and His messenger, and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for which he migrated."

related by Bukhari and Muslim
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also on the authority of Omar, who said :

One day while we were sitting with the messenger of Allah there appeared before us a man whose clothes were exceedingly white and whose hair was exceedingly black; no signs of journeying were to be seen on him and none of us knew him. He walked up and sat down by the prophet. Resting his knees against his and placing the palms of his hands on his thighs, he said:"O Muhammed, tell me about Islam". The messenger of Allah said: "Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammed is the messenger of Allah, to perform the prayers, to pay the zakat, to fast in Ramadhan, and to make the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so." He said:"You have spoken rightly", and we were amazed at him asking him and saying that he had spoken rightly. He said: "Then tell me about eman."He said:"It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny, both the good and the evil thereof." He said:"You have spoken rightly". He said: " Then tell me about ehsan." He said: "It is to worship Allah as though you are seeing Him, and while you see Him not yet truly He sees you". He said: "Then tell me about the Hour". He said: "The one questioned about it knows no better than the questioner." He said: "Then tell me about its signs." He said: "That the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and that you will see the barefooted, naked, destitute herdsman competing in constructing lofty buildings." Then he took himself off and I stayed for a time. Then he said: "O Omar, do you know who the questioner was?" I said: "Allah and His messenger know best". He said: "He was Jebreel (Gabriel), who came to you to teach you your religion."

عجائب بين سقوط بن علي وسقوط مبارك

الكل كان يقارن بين ثورة مصر وثورة تونس وسقوط حسني مبارك وسقوط زين العابدين بن علي.

والغريب أن سقوطهما كان بعد الخطاب الثالث بيوم واحد.

وكلاهما سقط يوم جمعة:

بن علي سقط ثاني جمعة من يناير

ومبارك سقط ثاني جمعة من فبراير

لكن أغرب تشابه هو :

بن علي قال بأنه لن يترشح لانتخابات 2014 فسقط يوم 14

ومبارك قال أنه لن يترشح لانتخابات 2011 فسقط يوم 11

محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم رسولا,

قصة الإسلام
فضيلة الشيخ/ عائض القرني

فهو النبأ العظيم، والحدث الهائل، والخبر العجيب، والشأن الفخم، والأمر الضخم {عَمَّ يَتَسَاءلُونَ * عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ * الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونٌَ} [النبأ: 1-3].
فمبعثه حقيقة هو أروع الأنباء، وأعظم الأخبار الذي سارت به الأخبار، وتحدّث به السمّار، ورعاه الركبان، واندهش منه الدهر، وذهب منه الزمن، فقد استدار له التاريخ، ووقفت له الأيام، فقصة إرساله -عليه الصلاة والسلام- لا يلفها الظلام، ولا تغطيها الريح، ولا يحجبها الغمام، فإنما هي قصة عبرت البحار، واجتازت القفار، ونزلت على العالم نزول الغيث، وأشرقت إشراق الشمس، فهو باختصار نور، وهل يخفى النور؟ {يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِؤُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ} [الصف: 8].
وصحّ عنهأنه قال: "مثل ما بعثني الله به من الهدى والعلم كمثل الغيث"[1].
عدوّك مذمومٌ بكل لسان *** وإن كان أعـداءك القمـران
ولله سرٌّ في علاك وإنـما *** كلام الورى ضرب من الهذيا

فهو -عليه الصلاة والسلام- بُعث ليعبد الله وحده لا شريك له، بعث ليوحِّد الله، بعث ليقال في الأرض: لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله، بعث ليحقّ الحق ويبطل الباطل، بعث بالمحجة البيضاء والملة الغرّاء والشريعة السمحة، بعث بالعدل والإحسان وإيتاء ذي القربى، بعث بالخير والسلام والبرّ والمحبة والسعادة والصلاح، والأمن والإيمان، بعث بالطهارة والصلاة والزكاة والصوم والحج والجهاد والأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر، بعث بمعالي الأمور ومكارم الأخلاق ومحاسن الطباع ومجامع الفضيلة، بعث لدحض الشرك وسحق الأصنام وكسر الأوثان وطرد الجهل ومحاربة الظلم وإزهاق الباطل ونفي الرذيلة، فما من خير إلا دلَّ عليه، وما من شرّ إلا حذّر منه.
وأمَّا خلقه -عليه الصلاة والسلام- فإن الله هو الذي أدّبه فأحسن تأديبه، فهو أحسن الناس خلقًا، وأسدّهم قولاً، وأمثلهم طريقة، وأصدقهم خبرًا، وأعدلهم حكمًا، وأطهرهم سريرة، وأنقاهم سيرة، وأفضلهم سجايا، وأجودهم يدًا، وأسمحهم خاطرًا، وأصفاهم صدرًا، وأتقاهم لربه، وأخشاهم لمولاه، وأعلمهم بالأمة، وأوصلهم رحمة، وأزكاهم منبتًا، وأكرمهم محتدًا، وأشجعهم قلبًا، وأثبتهم جنانًا، وأمضاهم حجة، وخيرهم نفسًا ونسبًا وخلقًا ودينًا.
فهو جميل الصفات، مشرق المحيَّا، قريب من القلوب، حبيب إلى الأرواح، سهل الخليقة، ميسّر الطريقة، مبارك الحال، تعلوه مهابة وترافقه جلالة، على وجهه نور الرسالة، وعلى ثغره بسمة المحبة، حيّ القلب، ذكي الخاطر، عظيم الفطنة، سديد الرأي، ريان المشاعر بالخير، يسعد به جليسه، وينعم به رفيقه، ويرتاح له صاحبه، يحبّ الفأل ويكره الطيرة، يعفو ويصفح، ويسخو ويمنح، أجود من الريح المرسلة، وأكرم من الغيث الهاطل، وأبهى من البدر، وسع الناس بأخلاقه، وطوّق الرجال بكرمه، وأسعد البشرية بدعوته، من رآه أحبّه، ومن عرفه هابه، ومن داخله أجلّه، كلامه يأخذ بالقلوب، وسجاياه تأسر الأرواح.
ثبّت الله قلبه فلا يزيغ، وسدّد كلامه فلا يجهل، وحفظ عينه فلا تخون، وحصّن لسانه فلا يزل، ورعى دينه فلا يضل، وتولى أمره فلا يضيع، فهو محفوظ مبارك ميمون {وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ} [القلم: 4]، {فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِنْتَ لَهُمْ} [آل عمران: 159]. يقول عليه الصلاة والسلام: "إِنَّ أَتْقَاكُمْ وَأَعْلَمَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ أَنَا"[2]. ويقول: "خيركم خيركم لأهله، وأنا خيركم لأهله"[3].

ويروى عنه أنَّه قال: "إنما بعثت لأتمم مكارم الأخلاق"[4]. فسبحان من اجتباه واصطفاه! وتولاه وحماه، ورعاه وكفاه، ومن كل بلاء حسن أبلاه.
وأما دينه، فهو الإسلام، دين الفطرة، دين الوسط، دين الفلاح والنجاة، أحبّ الأديان إلى الله {وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ} [آل عمران: 85]. دين جاء لوضع الآصار والأغلال عن الأمة، سهل ميسّر، عام شامل، كامل تام {الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلاَمَ دِينًا} [المائدة: 3].
دين جاء ليخرج الناس من عبادة العباد إلى عبادة ربّ العباد، ومن ضيق الدنيا إلى سعة الآخرة، ومن ظلمات الشرك إلى نور التوحيد، ومن شقاء الكفر إلى سعادة الإيمان.

دين صالح لكل زمان ومكان، شرعه من يغفر الزلة، وهو الذي يعلم السرّ وأخفى، العالم بعلانية العبد والنجوى.
وهو الدين الوسط الذي جاء بالعلم النافع والعمل الصالح، خلاف ما كان عليه اليهود؛ لأن عندهم علمًا غير نافع لم يعملوا به، فغضب الله عليهم، وخلاف النصارى؛ لأن عندهم عملاً بلا علم، فضلوا سواء السبيل.
فدين الإسلام صراط الذين أنعم الله عليهم غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين؛ فالرسولبعث أميًّا من الأميين يتلو عليهم آيات الله ويزكيهم ويعلمهم الكتاب والحكمة، وإن كانوا من قبله لمن الضالين، فجاء هذا الدين بتحريم الكذب في الأقوال والزور في الشهادة، والظلم في الأحكام، والجور في الولاية، والتصفيف في المكيال والميزان، والبغي على الناس والاعتداء على الغير، والإضرار بالنفس والناس، فحفظ القلب بالإيمان، والجسم بأسباب الصحة، والمال من التلف، والعرض من الانتهاك، والدم من السفك، والعقل من إذهابه وتغييره.
وأما كتابه، فهو القرآن، أفضل الكتب وأجلّ المواثيق، وأحسن القصص وأحسن الحديث، فهو الحق المهيب الذي لا يأتيه الباطل من بين يديه ولا من خلفه، تنزيل من حكيم حميد، كتاب فصّلت آياته ثم أحكمت، مبارك في تلاوته وتدبره والاستشفاء به، والتحاكم إليه والعمل به، كل حرف منه بعشر حسنات، شافع مشفّع، وشاهد صادق، أنيس ممتع، وسمير مفيد، وصاحب أمين، معجز مؤثر، له حلاوة وعليه طلاوة، يعلو ولا يعلى عليه، ليس بسحر ولا شعر ولا بكهانة ولا بقول بشر، بل هو كلام الله، منه بدأ وإليه يعود، نزل به الروح الأمين على قلب رسول ربّ العالمين، ليكون من المرسلين بلسان عربي مبين.
فهو الكتاب الذي بزّ فصاحة، وفاقها بلاغة، وعلا عليها حجة وبيانًا، وهو هدى ورحمة وموعظة وشفاء لما في الصدور، ونور وبرهان ورشد وسداد ونصيحة وتعليم، محفوظ من التبديل، محروس من الزيادة والنقص، معجزة خالدة، عصمة لمن اتبعه ونجاة لمن عمل به، وسعادة لمن استرشده، وفوز لمن اهتدى بهديه، وفلاح لمن حكمه في حياته. يقول عليه الصلاة والسلام: "اقرءوا القرآن؛ فإنه يأتي يوم القيامة شفيعًا لأصحابه"[5]، وقال: "خيركم من تعلّم القرآن وعلّمه"[6]، وقال: "إن الله يرفع بهذا الكتاب أقوامًا، ويضع به آخرين"[7].
وهو الكتاب الذي أفحم الشعراء، وأسكت الخطباء، وغلب البلغاء، وقهر العرب العرباء، وأعجز الفصحاء، وأعجب العلماء، وأذهل الحكماء {إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآَنَ يَهْدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقْوَمُ} [الإسراء: 9].

قصيدة الشاعر المسيحى فى مدح الرسول محمد

صلى الله عليه وسلم

(خاتم الرسل)

جاك شماس شاعر سورى شارك بهذه القصيدة فى مسابقة البردة النبوية نال بها استحسان جميع النقاد

يممتُ ( طهَ ) المُرْسَلُ الروحانـى ** ويُجلُّ (طه) الشاعـرُ النصرانـى

يا خاتمَ الرسل الموشـح بالهـدى ** ورسـول نبـلٌ شامـخٍ البنيـان

أَلْقَىَ عليكَ الوَحـى طهـرُ عقيـدة ** ٍنبويـةٍ همـرت بفيـض مـعـان

قوّضت كهف الجهل تغدق بالمنـى ** ونسفـت شـرك عبـادة الأوثـان

مهما أساء الغـرب فـى إيلامـه ** لـم يـرق هـون للنبـى البانـى

لا يحجب الغربـال نـور شريعـة ** ويظـل نـورك طاهـراً روحانـى

ماذا أسطر فـى نبـوغ ( محمـد ) ** قـاد السفيـن بحكمـة وأمــان

ومآثر الإسلام فـى سفـر الهـدى ** درب النجـاة و شعلـة الفرقـان

أنا يا ( محمد) من سلالـة يعـرب ** أهـواك ديـن محـبـة وتـفـان

وأذود عنـك مولـهـاً ومتيـمـاً ** حتى ولو أجـزى بقطـع لسانـى

أكبرت شأوك فى فصيـح بلاغتـى ** وشغاف قلبـى مهجتـى وبيانـى

وأرتل الأشعار فـى شمـم النـدى ** دين تجلّـى فـى شـذى الغفـران

وتسامـح يزهـو ببـرد فضيلـة **وشمائـل تشـدو بسيـب أغـان

أغدقت للعـرب النصـارى عـزة ** ومكانـة ترقـى لـشـمِّ مـعـان

وأنـرت دربـاً ناضـراً برسالـة ** مسك الرسـول وخاتـم الأديـان

وزرعت فى قلب الرعيـة حكمـة **شماء تنطق فـى نـدى الوجـدان

أودعت يمنك فى حدائـق مقلتـى ** ووشمت مجدك فى شغاف جنـان

ونذرت روحـى للعروبـة هائمـاً ** بالضـاد والإنجـيـل والـقـرآن

ونقشت خلق (محمد) بمشاعـرى **ودرجت أرشف كوثـر الرحمـن

وشتلت فى دوح التآخـى أحرفـى ** أختال زهـواً فـى بنـى قحطـان

آخيت ( فاطمة) العروبة فى دمـى ** وعفاف (مريم) فى فـؤاد كيانـى

عاودت نور ( محمـد ) بشريعـة ** تزهو شموخـاً فـى أجـل بيـان

رفلـت مبادئـه نضـار رجاحـة ** وتعـطـرت بالـبـر والإيـمـان

والمجد يتبع خطـوة أنّـى مشـى ** ويسيل شهـداً فـى فـم الأزمـان

ولئـن تغطـرس أجنبـى حاقـدٌ ** كفقاعة الصابـون فـى الفنجـان

أنا ( مسلم ) لله أمرى فى الدنـى ** ومفاخـر (بالمسلـم) المـعـوان

وإذا قرأتـم للـرسـول تحـيـة ** فلتقـرؤوه تحـيـة النصـرانـى

الله أكبر يـا رسـول فسـر بنـا ** نحـو الشمـوخ وقبلـة الإيمـان

ويكَحَّل الأقصـى بـروح مجاهـد ** والقدس تزهو فـى قـلاع أمـان

أستصرخ (اليرموك) فى ألق الوغى ** شمخت صموداً فى رحى الميـدان

وتربعت عرش البطولـة والفـدى **ونمت علـى شفـة وكـل لسـان

أودعت للعرب الكمـاة وصيتـى ** وغداة حتفـى أذكـروا عنوانـي

إن تـاه عنوانـى فإنـى شاعـر ** عشق النخيـل وسـورة الإنسـان

مهما مدحتـك يا(رسـول) فإنكـم ** فوق المديح وفـوق كـل بيانـى

لن تفلـح الدنيـا بكسـر عقيـدة ** والديـن يرفـل بـردة الـقـرآن

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him):

Some angels came to the Prophet while he was sleeping.

Some of them said, "He is sleeping."

Others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake."

Then they said, "There is an example for this companion of yours."

One of them said, "Then set forth an example for him."

Some of them said, "He is sleeping."

The others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake."

Then they said,

"His example is that of a man who has built a house

and then offered therein a banquet

and sent an inviter (messenger) to invite the people.

So whoever accepted the invitation of the inviter,

entered the house and ate of the banquet,

and whoever did not accept the invitation of the inviter,

did not enter the house, nor did he eat of the banquet."

Then the angels said,

"Interpret this example to him so that he may understand it."

Some of them said, "He is sleeping.''

The others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake."

And then they said,

"The house stands for Paradise

and the call maker is Muhammad;

and whoever obeys Muhammad, obeys Allah;

and whoever disobeys Muhammad, disobeys Allah.

Muhammad separated the people.

(i.e., through his message,

the good is distinguished from the bad,

and the believers from the disbelievers) ."

The Prophet Prohibited The Killing of Women and Children: But What About Those Night Raids? By Bassam Zawadi

This article will be divided into three sections:
1) The Prophet Prohibited the Killing of Women and Children

2) The Prophet made some exceptions to the Killing of Women and Children

3) Killing of Women and Children According to the Bible

The Prophet Prohibited the Killing of Women and Children

There are so much hadith where the Prophet condemned the killing of innocent women and children during time of war that it is impossible to deny them.
Saheeh Bukhari
Volume 004, Book 052, Hadith Number 257.

Narrated By 'Abdullah : During some of the Ghazawat of the Prophet a woman was found killed. Allah's Apostle disapproved the killing of women and children.
Volume 004, Book 052, Hadith Number 258.

Narrated By Ibn 'Umar : During some of the Ghazawat of Allah's Apostle a woman was found killed, so Allah's Apostle forbade the killing of women and children.

Saheeh Muslim

Book 019, Hadith Number 4319.

Chapter : Prohibition of killing women and children in war.

It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah that a woman was found killed in one of the battles fought by the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). He disapproved of the killing of women and children.

Book 019, Hadith Number 4320.

Chapter : Prohibition of killing women and children in war.

It is narrated by Ibn 'Umar that a woman was found killed in one of these battles; so the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) forbade the killing of women and children.

Sunan Abu Dawood
Book 008, Hadith Number 2663.

------------------------------

Narated By Rabah ibn Rabi' : When we were with the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) on an expedition, he saw some people collected together over something and sent a man and said: See, what are these people collected around? He then came and said: They are round a woman who has been killed. He said: This is not one with whom fighting should have taken place. Khalid ibn al-Walid was in charge of the van; so he sent a man and said: Tell Khalid not to kill a woman or a hired servant.

Maliks Muwatta

Book 021, Hadith Number 008.

Section : Prohibition against Killing Women and Children in Military Expeditions.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that a son of Kab ibn Malik (Malik believed that ibn Shihab said it was Abd ar-Rahman ibn Kab) said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade those who fought ibn Abi Huqayq (a treacherous jew from Madina) to kill women and children. He said that one of the men fighting had said, 'The wife of ibn Abi Huqayq began screaming and I repeatedly raised my sword against her. Then I would remember the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, so I would stop. Had it not been for that, we would have been rid of her.'"

Book 021, Hadith Number 009.

Section : Prohibition against Killing Women and Children in Military Expeditions.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw the corpse of a woman who had been slain in one of the raids, and he disapproved of it and forbade the killing of women and children.

Book 021, Hadith Number 010.

Section : Prohibition against Killing Women and Children in Military Expeditions.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Abu Bakr as-Siddiq was sending armies to ash-Sham. He went for a walk with Yazid ibn Abi Sufyan who was the commander of one of the battalions. It is claimed that Yazid said to Abu Bakr, "Will you ride or shall I get down?" Abu Bakrsaid, "I will not ride and you will not get down. I intend these steps of mine to be in the way of Allah."

Then Abu Bakr advised Yazid, "You will find a people who claim to have totally given themselves to Allah. Leave them to what they claim to have given themselves. You will find a people who have shaved the middle of their heads, strike what they have shaved with the sword.

"I advise you ten things
Do not kill women or children or an aged, infirm person. Do not cut down fruit-bearing trees. Do not destroy an inhabited place. Do not slaughter sheep or camels except for food. Do not burn bees and do not scatter them. Do not steal from the booty, and do not be cowardly."

The Prophet made some exceptions to the Killing of Women and Children

Saheeh Bukhari
Volumn 004, Book 052, Hadith Number 256.

Narated By As-Sab bin Jaththama : The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)." I also heard the Prophet saying, "The institution of Hima is invalid except for Allah and His Apostle."

Saheeh Muslim
Book 019, Hadith Number 4321.

Chapter : Permissibility of killing women and children in the night raids, provided it is not deliberate.

It is reported on the authority of Sa'b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him), when asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are from them.

There are many possible meanings for these Hadith. I was kind of surprised when I read it at first. But we don’t know the EXACT situation or what the Prophet truly meant. Maybe, maybe THOSE particular women and children were planning to fight against the Muslims with the enemy.

Maybe the Muslim army just could not have blown this chance to attack the enemy that they still had to attack them no matter at what cost in order to stop the risk of more blood shed (do a little bad for the greater good).

The very fact that the companions of the Prophet asked the Prophet's permission shows that the Prophet used to be strict regarding his prohibition on the killing of women and children. However, when a situation arises and there is no choice, things could get ugly. The Prophet even forbade the cutting down of palm trees in war, however during the siege of Banu Nadir the Prophet had to make an exception. So exceptions do arise unfortunately.

Imam Ibn Hajar Al Asaqalani says in Fath Al- Baari that the point is not to target the women and children intentionally but if there is absolutely no other way to kill the enemy than by injuring the women and children because they are mixed with the men then there is no other choice. (Source: http://hadith.al-islam.com/Display/Display.asp?Doc=0&Rec=4747)

Another possibility is that the hadith has been abrogated and that even if women and children accompany the enemy during war then they still should not be killed. (See http://hadith.al-islam.com/Display/Display.asp?Doc=0&Rec=4747 for the evidence)

Imam Nawawi says in his tafseer of Saheeh Muslim that women and children are only killed only if they cannot be distinguished. But because it was so dark and they could not be distinguished, the Muslims had not choice. (Source: http://hadith.al-islam.com/Display/Display.asp?Doc=1&Rec=4215)

The tafseer of Abu Dawud says the same thing here (Source: http://hadith.al-islam.com/Display/Display.asp?Doc=4&Rec=3291)
Killing of Women and Children According to the Bible

If Muslims ever get any trouble from a Christian that says Islam advocates for the killing of innocent women and children then give him a taste of his own Bible.

1 Samuel 15:2,3

2 This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt.3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy [a] everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' "

Numbers 31:17,18

17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.

Deuteronomy 20:16
16 However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.

من أغرب الظواهر الطبيعية
أبطال قصتنا الأولى هي هذه الأحجار
تستطيعون وبمجرد النظر إلى هذه الصورة ملاحظة أن هذا الحجر وغيره من الأحجار التي حوله تحركت لمسافة كبيرة نسبياً. لكن أين الغرابة هنا؟

الغرابة تكمن في أنه لم يقم أحد (إنسان أو حيوان أو أي شيء نعرفه) بتحريك هذه الأحجار التي يتعدى وزنها الـ100 كجم من مكانها، ولم يجد العلماء أي تفسير طبيعي لكيفية تحركها حتى اليوم !!
المكان هو بحيرة جافة في وادي الموت بجبال بانامينت في كاليفورنيا جنوب غرب الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، وفيه تحدث هذه الظاهرة الجيولوجية الغامضة التي حيرت العلماء لعقود. قد تظنون أن السبب هو الرياح، وهذا ما ظنه البعض في البداية أيضاً، لكن لو كانت الرياح هي السبب لكانت كل الصخور قد تحركت في اتجاه واحد بشكل منتظم، أما ما يحدث فهو أن الصخور التي تكون متراصة بجانب بعضها تتحرك في اتجاهات مختلفة بسرعات مختلفة ولمسافات مختلفة!!

Dans l'Espace

Pour le comprendre, il faut savoir que les notions de distance dans le cosmos sont établies en années-lumière. A quoi cela correspond-il ? Il s'agit en fait de la distance que parcourt la lumière en une année : sachant qu'elle se déplace à 300 000 km par seconde, cela représente près de 9000 milliards de kilomètres parcourus en un an ! Pour vous aider à vous représenter la vitesse de la lumière, sachez qu'en une seconde, la lumière fait 10 fois le tour de la terre ! !

Par une belle nuit d'été, si vous observez le ciel, loin de la pollution lumineuse des grandes villes, vous pourrez admirer la beauté des étoiles qui scintillent dans la voûte céleste.

En les observant, on a l'impression qu'elles ne sont qu'à quelques kilomètres de notre planète mais en réalité, l'étoile la plus proche de la terre, Proxima du Centaure, est à plus de 4 années-lumière soit près de 43 000 milliards de kilomètres de nous ! !

Notre Soleil, qui a un volume un million de fois plus important que la terre n'est qu'une petite étoile parmi les 100 milliards d'étoiles qui constituent notre galaxie : la Voie Lactée. Et notre galaxie n'est elle-même qu'une petite galaxie parmi les 100 milliards de galaxies qui peuplent notre Univers !

Par comparaison, on peut dire qu'il y a autant d'étoiles dans l'Univers qu'il y a de grains de sable sur la terre !

Les astrophysiciens estiment que pour atteindre le point le plus éloigné de l'Univers, on mettrait 15 milliards d'années en voyageant dans un vaisseau spatial volant à la vitesse de la lumière !

Sachant qu'à cette vitesse, le vaisseau parcourt 9000 milliards de kilomètres par an, à vous de faire le calcul pour estimer la distance parcourue en 15 milliards d'années ! Où est alors la terre dans cette infinité ?

Où sommes-nous, microscopiques humains, dans cette immensité ? Si l'Univers est si grand alors que doit représenter la grandeur du Créateur de cet Univers ?

Dans le temps
Les connaissances actuelles sur le cosmos balayent l'orgueil de l'Homme.

Les hommes ont toujours pensé que l'Univers étaient infiniment grand et éternel mais ceci s'avère faux puisque les découvertes actuelles ont prouvé que l'Univers avait un début ! Ainsi les objets célestes comme les étoiles naissent, vivent et meurent. Cela prendra des milliards d'années mais elles mourront
" Rien n'est éternel dans cet Univers : ni Planètes, ni Etoiles, ni êtres vivants.

L'éternité n'appartient qu'à L'Unique Créateur. "

Muslims honor ‘Eesa (Jesus), may Allaah exalt his mention

Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allaah and His Angels and His Books and His Messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His Messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination."} [Quran 2:285]

Muslims believe in ‘Eesa, may Allaah exalt his mention, as:

· An honorable Prophet of Allaah The Exalted and one of the five messengers with firm resolution

· A human being who was born like any other creation and he passed through the normal stages of life like other human beings.

· A human being whose life has a beginning and must have an end. His life started when Allaah The Exalted decreed and it will end when he dies. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive.} [Quran 19:33]

Some Christians wonder how Muslims could say that ‘Eesa, may Allaah exalt his mention, did not die while the verse in the Quran reads (what means): {[Mention] when Allaah Said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allaah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection…”} [Quran 3:55

According to their argument, they criticize what is mentioned in the verse arguing that:

1. The Quran says that ‘Eesa, may Allaah exalt his mention, died and the one who dies does not come back, so how do Muslims say that he will return at the end of time [of the world]?

2. The verse states that the followers of ‘Eesa, may Allaah exalt his mention, are the best people in terms of religion and status. They claim that they are his followers who are meant in the verse.

To refute their first argument, the word ‘take you’ that was used does not mean death, rather, it means taking him, and I shall provide two lucid pieces of evidence from the Noble Quran to prove my argument.

1- Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And it is He Who akes your souls by night and knows what you have committed by day. Then He revives you therein that a specified term may be fulfilled.}[Quran 6:60]

This verse means that when we sleep, Allaah The Almighty takes our souls and He Knows all that we did during the day. Al-Qurtubi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said, “Taking our souls in the verse does not mean real death; rather, it means our souls are taken to Allaah The Almighty at night and then come back again as soon as we wake up.” Moreover, Ibn ‘Abbaas, may Allaah be pleased with them both, said, “Taking our souls in the verse means that Allaah The Almighty takes our souls when we are asleep.”

2- Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {Allaah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.}[Quran 39:42]

The souls that Allaah The Exalted takes can be classified into two categories: The first category is the souls of those people whose life term has come to an end and so they die; whereas, the second category includes the souls of those whose life term has not yet come to an end; hence, their souls come back to them until the exact time on which Allaah The Almighty has decreed their death.

Therefore, ‘I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve’ was only addressed to ‘Eesa, may Allaah exalt his mention, among all human beings and this proves that he did not die and that he will come back at the end of time and this would be one of the signs of the Hour.

Moreover, Allaah The Almighty confirms this fact in the verse that reads (what means): {And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allaah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain. Rather, Allaah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allaah Exalted in Might and Wise ...} [Quran 4:157-159]

Allaah The Almighty also Says (what means): {And indeed, Jesus will be [a sign for] knowledge of the Hour, so be not in doubt of it, and follow Me. This is a straight path.} [Quran 43:61]
So, the descent of ‘Eesa, may Allaah exalt his mention to earth again marks the approach of the Hour.

As for the refutation of their second claim, the true followers of ‘Eesa, may Allaah exalt his mention, are those who have believed that he is the Prophet and Messenger of Allaah The Exalted and His slave; those who believed that ‘Eesa, may Allaah exalt his mention, is a human being and not a god.
In fact, ‘Eesa, may Allaah exalt his mention, himself said as was mentioned in the verse that reads (what means): {[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allaah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and Zakaah (purifying alms) as long as I remain alive. And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant...}[Quran 19:30-32]

In fact, the Christians base their argument on the fact that ‘Eesa, may Allaah exalt his mention, is the only one who had no father and that he was created from the Soul of Allaah The Almighty. In fact, they further claim that he is the son of Allaah The Exalted, we seek refuge in Allaah The Almighty from that. Undeniably, Allaah The Almighty does not have a partner or a son.
The refutation of this argument is that there are numerous verses in the Noble Quran proving that Allaah The Exalted had breathed into Aadam, may Allaah exalt his mention, of His Soul. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration.} [Quran 15:29]
Allaah The Almighty also Says (what means): {Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.}[Quran 32:9]

According to these verses, our souls are all from the Soul of Allaah The Almighty, so are we all His children? Of course not, we are His sincere and obedient servants while they (the polytheists) are His slaves, and what a great difference there is between a slave and a sincere and obedient servant!

Furthermore, those who wonder how ‘Eesa, may Allaah exalt his mention, had no father have failed to meditate on the fact that Aadam, may Allaah exalt his mention, had neither father nor mother. Indeed, the creation of Aadam, may Allaah exalt his mention, is a greater miracle. Indeed, Allaah The Almighty Is All-Powerful; when He intends a thing to happen, He simply Says to it: "Be" and it is. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allaah is like that of Aadam. He created Him from dust; then He Said to him, "Be," and he was...} [Quran 3:59]

Christmas and Muslim kids

2010-12-22T15:28:00.000+02:00

How to explain the Christmas lights to your kids?
It is very important that we prepare ourselves for this imminent occasion. As always, at the end of each year, day in and day out – and all through the night, we are constantly pummeled with the lights, decorations and music of the season at every turn. You won’t be able to take a trip to the grocery, the library, or even your front yard without noticing it.

But this year we too were, just days before, celebrating our Islamic ‘Eed Al-Adh-Ha, not in the same manner of course, but it was our time for celebration nonetheless. These unusual circumstances may present confusion and curiosity amongst children, teenagers and even new Muslims. It is essential that we address their questions and concerns in an honest, straightforward manner. The most effective method of clarifying and conveying accurate and detailed information is to deal with facts in an efficient and appropriate manner. Replacing normal curiosity with knowledge, will, Insha Allaah (Allaah willing), strengthen everyone in his conviction.

Among the numerous situations that may arise during this season are the Christmas lights. Little Omar –with awe and delight, one evening as you’re passing by lit up houses on the way to the Masjid –may exclaim: “Look, the lights are so pretty!” you look at him frowning, “No, no, no! Omar, those are ugly!” you reply scolding him.

Omar may never tell you he thinks the lights are pretty again, because he doesn’t want to disappoint you. However, that doesn’t mean that this is what he thinks. He may still believe that the lights are pretty; and in addition, he may feel that this is untrue!

It may even be hard for you to tell someone the lights are ugly – possibly because you don’t even believe that yourself. Why? Because the lights are delightful to most, young and old alike, that’s why they are used for all sorts of festive occasions. The fact is, although they may be nice to look at, the underlying reason is that they are used at this time of the year, and this is what is ugly… not the lights themselves.

All the children can see are the lights in a rainbow of colors, flashing and twinkling. They don’t see the Kufr (disbelief) that is being celebrated inside the lit-up houses. This is why it is so vital that the situation be fully explained and not simply brushed off. We must tackle these situations with a detailed explanation, and only with that will a new Muslim or a child fully understand why the lights or decorations are so unappealing during this time of the year.

It is important that they understand that the lights themselves are not Haraam (forbidden). They are simply small colored light bulbs on a string that can be used to any purpose whatsoever, just as any other light bulb. In many places all over the world, they are used for various reasons totally unrelated to any religious holiday. It is not the lights that should be the focus; it is what lies beneath that which is important.

You could spend the entire afternoon arguing your point that lights are ugly and the end result may still be that they don’t agree. Even after a debate on the issue, you may feel that you have come out the winner, but think about this: what was really won – your opinion? Unfortunately, that’s not a good enough reason for anyone, even a child, to agree with you and change their mind. Furthermore, by only discussing the irrelevant issue of the lights – what did they learn? Probably not much, except may be how to become a better debater next time.

Christmas, this year in particular, is a good opportunity to sit down and fully explain the major differences between Islam and Christianity to a new Muslim or a child. The explanation should be according to the age level of the child, and according to the knowledge of the teenager or adult. One should emphasize on the Kufr that is behind all of it, and how non-Muslim parents lie to their children about the fictitious Santa character! One should explain that the time of the year Christmas falls in is an ancient pagan holiday and that adorning the evergreen trees with decorations is a practice of pagans, and that it’s even forbidden in the Bible (Jeremiah 10:3-4)!

To further emphasize this fact, have them research this information in any encyclopedia and remind them of the following verse in which Allaah Says (what means): “And from those who say, "We are Christians" We took their covenant; but they forgot a portion of that of which they were reminded.” [Quran 5:14]

Next, take a few moments to allow them to ask questions. After you have fully explained to them the differences, and informed them in regard to the extreme Kufr that the decorations and lights are representing in pagan religions and in Christianity, ask them what they think of the lights and decorations now. Most likely, their response will be dramatically changed!

The distinction between a hasty incomplete answer and one with a full explanation is that you are not leaving room for lingering curiosity and also are not undermining their intelligence or opinion. By respecting their intelligence and opinion you are opening their minds to listen.

With an honest, straightforward explanation, you will, Insha Allaah, be able to take all the sparkle out of the lights, and instead, turn on the light of knowledge in their mind.
