The Tearful Story of Secularism & Atheism

Image
  This piece was written by a student & is shared here with his permission. May Allah Ta'ala accept. Ameen Many years ago, there was a beautiful forest, the like of which is not found in the world today. It is said that if you ever were fortunate enough to set foot in this forest, you would never desire to leave. Huge, ancient trees providing shade to cool, clear ponds with the mesmerizing sound of water trickling down rocks painted with moss, now and then interrupted by the splash of a tropical fish jumping out of the water or the croak of a frog who whips out his tongue to snatch a fly from the air. If this wasn’t enough to dazzle a person, then there were the thousands of different wild berries and boughs heavily laden with exotic fruit, full of screeching monkeys scaring off colorful birds. Through the gaps between the trees, huge herds of buck could be observed grazing peacefully, interrupted only by a passing predator searching for its meal. But these magical ...

The Seal of Nubuwwah

Image
  Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam was the last and final Messenger deputed by Allāh Ta’ālā. There is no Messenger after him. This was decreed by Allāh Ta’ālā in eternity and was written between the shoulders of the first man, i.e., Sayyidunā Ādam ‘alayhi as-salām. Study the following report, Sayyidunā Jābir raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu reports that the following was written between the shoulders of Sayyidunā Ādam ‘alayhi as-salām, ‘Muḥammad Rasūlullāh Khātam An-Nabiyyīn.’ [Ibn ‘Asākir, Khaṣā’iṣ Kubrā vol.1 p.7, Tarjumān-us-Sunnah vol.1 p.392] From the very beginning, Allāh Ta’ālā had announced the special quality of the final Messenger that was to be deputed, that he is the seal of the Messengers. When Sayyidunā Ādam ‘alayhi as-salām was sent to this world, this sign of the finality of Nubuwwah was specified with the name of Sayyidunā Muḥammad Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. This was the divine system set about in the world so that every Messenger that ...

Al-Madkhal Al-Wajīz: A Compendious Introduction to the Study of MODERN ISMS

Image
 We find ourselves in an age where novel ideologies have sneaked into the Ummah. These ideologies are being promoted at all levels of society by individuals and groups who are hell-bent on leading the Ummah astray, and straight into Jahannam. Even though these ideologies may have been discussed in principle in our classical 'aqīdah works, their modern manifestations are seldomly discussed. As a result, many remain oblivious to and fall prey to these ideologies, while being blissfully unaware of the severity that Islam views these ideologies with.  This primer, Al-Madkhal Al-Waj īz, is a major step taken by courageous scholars to help 'Ulama, Teachers, Professionals, and students, in dealing with understanding and responding to the dangerous ISMS all Muslims face.  This primer can be downloaded from the following link: https://archive.org/download/al-Madkhal-al-Wajiz/al-Madkhal-al-Wajiz.pdf  All Muslims are encouraged to read, study, understand, teach, and build aware...

Narcissism: The Modernists' New Weapon of Choice

Image
 Modernists change tactics all the time. They are not stable in their attack upon Islām. They continue butting heads with the Noble Qur'ān and Blessed Sunnah. But, they do not stop. Why? Because they are dogmatic in their Modernist Religion, more like, Narcissistic. Previously, Modernists used other weapons like 'don't judge me', 'you're too harsh, 'you lack adab' etc. However, these weapons failed, so the Modernists looked hard, and hey, they all together began the Narcissism song. From America to Europe, from Africa to Australia, they began the talks, lectures, and coaching.  Wow, it is being spoken about like never before, the disease that is ravaging homes, with the perfect solution that will wash it away, never to be seen again! When we stop to think for a moment, we come to realise that the aim of the Modernists with the Narcissism line is to basically erode and eat away the important concept of Amr bil Ma'r ūf and Nah ī 'anil Munkar, i.e.,...

What Happens to those who Target & Criticize the Ṣaḥābah raḍiyallāhu ‘anhum

Image
 Once, a man by the name of Abul Ḥasan passed by a gathering in which a man was cursing Sayyidunā Ab ū  Bakr raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu and Sayyidunā 'Umar raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu. Even though he had the ability, he did not stop the man from his vile and filthy abuse. That night, he saw Sayyidunā 'Al ī  raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu in a dream, who said, "Why did you not do something against that person who cursed Sayyidunā Ab ū  Bakr raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu and Sayyidunā 'Umar raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu, when it was within your capacity to do so?" Whilst saying this, he hit me using a mace; the next morning I woke up blind." [Manāqib 'Umar Ibn Al-Kha ṭ ṭ āb pp.256-257] Ab ū Nazara ra ḥi mahull ā h relates, "We were in Madinah Munawwarah. We met a man there who cursed Sayyidun ā   'Uthm ā n  raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu. We scolded him and told him to repent, but he refused. Not a second had passed before we heard the skies thunder; a flash of lightning struck him and he di...
