Salvation is Confined to Islam - Mufti Muhammad Shafi rahimahullah

 


Salvation is confined to Islām in this era; the Good Deeds & Excellent Conduct of a non-Muslim are not Accepted 

[Surah Aal-'Imran: 18-19]

'With great clarity, these  ayaat have ended the atheistic ideology that attempts to unite disbelief with Islam in the name of Islamic tolerance, and declare that every religion in the world, whether Judaism, Christianity, or idolatry, is a means of salvation. This is said on condition that that one has good deeds and is committed to excellent morals. 

In reality, this is destroying the foundational principles of Islam. The result of this will be that Islam remains without any reality; it will stand as something imaginary, which can be disguised in any form of disbelief.   

These ayaat, and countless others like them have clearly shown that just as light and darkness cannot be the same, in exactly the same way, it is highly unreasonable and impossible for Allah Ta'ala to like and prefer disobedience and rebellion against him, just as he likes and prefers obedience and submission to him. 

Whichever person denies any of the principles of Islam is undoubtedly a rebel against Allah Ta'ala and an enemy of his Rasul (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam), no matter how good he may appear in his subsidiary actions and customary morals and character. Salvation in the hereafter depends on obedience to Allah Ta'ala and his Rasul (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam). Whoever is deprived of this, none of his deeds are valid. With regards to such people, the Noble Qur'an says, 'we will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any weight (i.e., importance).' [Surah al-Kahf: 105]

Iran & Israel: Friends in War

Image
  As we edge closer to Qiyamah, deciphering the events that lead up to it becomes increasingly difficult. The air becomes foggier and the ground becomes more slippery with each step. Understanding the signs of Qiyamah is like Qiyamah itself.   Iran Iran has raised many eyebrows in the recent days. In order to understand the matter, it is essential to look into the history and significance of this place.  Iran has a rich and mixed history. It was conquered in the time of Sayyiduna 'Umar radiyallahu 'anhu and gave birth to some of the most magnificent scholars in the history of Islam.  The hadith of Sayyiduna Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam had emphatically declared a short while before this conquest, that there will be no Kisra again after he disrespected the blessed letter of the Rasul of Allah and tore it up. The Kisra was soon killed, then his son consumed poison that his father left for him, and that led to the collapse of the Persian Empire....

Is MTJ a GIGOLO?

  Is MTJ a GIGOLO?  What is a gigolo? Let us study the definition properly first,    In simple terms, a gigolo is a man who lives off the earnings or gifts of a woman. Now, is MTJ a gigolo or not? That's the question. Let us analyze the following program of MTJ in UK in January 2024, The 'spiritual evening' with MTJ was held in a concert arena. What kind of spirituality was being imparted there?  That's problematic enough. What is worse is what follows, Prior to the 'spiritual evening', there was a FEMALE ONLY meet and greet. Astaghfirullah. Then, a VIP meet and greet for 99 pounds! What were the women doing spending 99 pounds to meet a strange bearded man, who poses with his kurta and turban on? This is nothing but prostitution and reverse prostitution.  This evidence is enough to denounce MTJ and his filthy antics.  Once again, the hosts of MTJ in South Africa are called upon in advance to cancel the events of this filthy vile Shia loving gigolo.

I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM...

Image
  I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM... 1. For this reason, I see, understand and realize that Islam is under attack. I have closely followed societal trends in the past, but now I feel empty of what I would previously experience from my practices as a Muslim, without the frills and fusses of modernism. I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM... 2. I understand that what my parents, grandparents, and family did before - also as concerned Muslims - is very different from what the modern Muslim community is doing.   I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM... 3. I know that Islam teaches modesty and shame, so I shall not engage in free mixing at family functions, nor shall I attend lecture events with mixed audiences, even if the speaker seems very famous. As a concerned man, I shall not attend programs of a woman, and as a woman, I shall not attend the lectures of strange men, except if it is fully in-line with Hijab, with a solid barrier, where I cannot see the speaker, and he cannot see me. I AM A VERY C...
