Food for Thought: Today's Times - Shaykh-ul-Hadith Mawlana Muhammad Zakariyya rahimahullah


 There was a person that came to Shaykh-ul-Hadith Mawlana Muhammad Zakariyya rahimahullah. He pledged bay'ah at the hands of Shaykh-ul-Hadith and remained in the khanqah for his training and nurturing. After about 6 or 7 months, Shaykh-ul-Hadith rahimahullah saw that this person had developed good ability, so he granted him khilafat and said, "The trust that I have handed over to you, go and distribute it amongst the people. Teach the people the name of Allah. Make effort in your locality." This person went and returned a year later to Saharanpur. He came to Shaykh-ul-Hadith rahimahullah. After meeting, they engaged in conversation. Shaykh-ul-Hadith rahimahullah asked him, "The trust that you have taken from here and departed, did you distribute it amongst the people? Did you guide the people? Did anyone pledge bay'ah at your hands?" He replied, "No one came to me for bay'ah, so I remained silent." This reply was in its place, but upon hearing this, tears welled up in the eyes of Shaykh-ul-Hadith rahimahullah. He said, "Beloved, this is not the era of waiting. Do not sit waiting and thinking that people will come to you, then you will teach them the name of Allah. This is the time in which, 'you have to catch the chins of people and convey the Deen to them.' This was said by Shaykh-ul-Hadith more than 50 years ago.

We are in such a time that if Shaykh-ul-Hadith rahimahullah was living, then he would not have said, that this is a time in which 'you have to catch the chins of people and convey the Deen to them', but he would have said that 'it is the time in which to catch the legs of people and convey the Deen to them.' - Irtidadi Fitney pp.14-15

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...
