Mountains Have Pegs

September 5, 2010

When I read Quran I frequently come across things which really amaze me and take me again to the point where I first accepted Islam and the religion of God Almighty.  It is a monotheistic religion and the thrust of the Scripture is that God is only ONE, and has no son, daughter, wife, was not created but is the Creator.  While reading the following section or chapter, I noticed again the statement that mountains have pegs.  Please tell me,  noting that this book has never changed in the past 1400 and some years ( I am specifically speaking of the Arabic version for this is the only one which is never changed, not one letter).  Being that the case, how is it that Prophet Mohammed knew mountains have a peg or root under it back 1400 and some years ago?  Do we not understand that when we are in a forest, we cannot see it for the trees?  When we are surrounded by trees, that is all we can see.  We cannot see the FOREST, nor its general shape, location, boundaries etc.

Therefore, even if by some miraculous strength Prophet Mohammed had been able to dig so deeply into the earth, what would or could he have seen?  DIRT!!! ROCKS! Maybe layers of clay, different types of soil.  But because he is “in” it, he could never have seen the shape of any root!  Just like the forest.

Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)? (1) Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers). (2) Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allâh), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). (3) They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, (4) They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, (5)No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, (6) Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger (7) (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, (8) Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islâmic Monotheism). (9) In a lofty Paradise (10) Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, (11) Therein will be a running spring, (12) Therein will be thrones raised high, (13) And cups set at hand (14) And cushions set in rows, (15) And rich carpets (all) spread out (16) Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? (17) And at the heaven, how it is raised? (18) And at the mountains, how they are rooted (and fixed firm)? (19) And at the earth, how it is outspread? (20) So remind them (O Muhammad (SAW)) — you are only a one who reminds. (21) You are not a dictator over them — (22) Save the one who turns away and disbelieves. (23) Then Allâh will punish him with the greatest punishment. (24) Verily, to Us will be their return; (25) Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. (26)

There are many miracles within the text of the Quran for those who want to read and understand and really search.

Worship Allah and join none with Him (in worship); and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, Al-Masakin (the poor), the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess. Verily, Allah does not like such as are proud and boastful. ( سورة النساء , An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #36)

Which Verse in the Qur’an Made Satan Cry?

April 7, 2010

An Ayah Made Shaitan Cry:

When this Ayah came down to the Prophet (SAAWS) the Shaitan cried and he should have cried, this Ayah shows how muchAllah (SW) is so merciful and wants us to go Janah, He is the most merciful and forgiving, Allah Subhanah Watala says

” وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ * أُوْلَئِكَ جَزَاؤُهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَجَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ الْعَامِلِينَ ”

Surah Al Imran 135

“And those who when they commit an indecency or do injustice to their souls (to themselves)  remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their faults– and who forgives the faults but Allah, and Allah forgives those (who) do not knowingly persist in what they have done. “

2:135

May Allah forgive us all and have mercey on us


Out of the Mouths of Babes: Bara’ah reciting the Holy Quran

March 30, 2010

This  is the beautiful recitation of a ten year old girl, Bara’a who’s mother died after severe cancer spread through her body.  On the day she was severely ill, the hospital called the father to come urgently.  Leaving his daughter in the car, he started to cross the road when he was hit by a passing car.  Left an orphan, Bara’a did not loose hope in the grace of Allah, God almighty.  As her parents taught her when she was younger to memorize the Holy Qur’an, here she is reciting about Prophet Ibrahim who was requested by God to sacrifice his son.

Subsequently, Bara’a also is suffering from cancer which has spread quickly though her body.  Until now her character  shows acceptance of God’s will in her life.  She is an example for all of us.  May Allah grant her mercy.

CELL PHONES VS QURAN

February 9, 2009

Cell phone vs Quran

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Quran like we treat
our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several time a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

quran1This is something to make you go….hmm…where is my Quran?

Oh, and one more thing.

Unlike our cell phone, we don’t have to worry about our Quran being
disconnected

Makes you stop and think ‘where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!


Using Good Luck Charms or Amulets

February 9, 2009

 

In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate

“May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You”
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam ‘ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Tying a string over which verses of Quraan have been recited ?

It is not permissible to tie this string or any other kind of amulets. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever hangs up an amulet, may Allaah not fulfil his need.”

And he said: “Whoever hangs up anything will be abandoned to its care,” and, “Whoever hangs up an amulet has committed shirk.

This also includes hanging surahs from the Quran, especially Ayat ul Kursi with the intention that it will protect the home from evil.  Also hanging such just for a means of decoration is makruh.  If one delights to hang such things in the home it should be with the intention to read it, or as a reminder to read it. (s&s)

[Musnad Ahmad. This Hadeeth was classed as Saheeh by Shaikh al-Albanee in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, (492)]

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded us to tear away these things, as stated in the hadeeth narrated from Imraan ibn Husayn, which says that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw a man on whose hand was a bracelet of brass. He said, “What is this bracelet?” He said, “It is to prevent weakness.” He said, “Take it off, for it will only make you more weak.” This was narrated by Ibn Maajah

The evil eye is real as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us, and the way to protect oneself against it is by reciting the ruqyahs that are prescribed in shareeah and by reciting the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), not by using amulets or by using the charms written by liars and charlatans.

Ahmad (17440) also narrated that Uqbah ibn Aamir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever wears an amulet, may Allaah never fulfil his wish and whoever wears a seashell, may Allaah never protect him from what he fears.” This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Arna’oot in his commentary on al-Musnad.

Seashells were worn to ward off the evil eye.
