بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Qur’aan Deep Study-12
Jihad is a wonderful way of life
Al Hamdu Lillah, Ya Allah, please make us obedient to your words and your orders, and do not place us into temptations. Ya Allah please give guidance, we are lost without your help, please do not make us loose the way to Heaven, and allow us to escape Hell. And the end of our Dua: Al Hamdu Lillah Rabbal Aaalamein in this life and at the other end.
Al Salaam Aleikum, looks like the war on me knows no breaks, and will continue, I am prevented to send you my mail through different measures taken against me, I will post here till I find a way to reach you again Insha Allah, meanwhile you can always read my work on this board, be it my group, or Home page. Imagine, I am trying to explain what is Jihad, and clear the false understanding, as soon as I said said this, I was blocked from continuing, looks like some do not want us to understand what is true Jihad, they want the world to keep the false wrong meanings in the minds of people, to keep the war on Islam going on, and the hate to keep spreading. The first words in Qur’aan are:
Bismmillah Al Rahmaan Al Raheim بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
We are still talking about the name of Allah, we said: if we try to count the blessings in each gift Allah gave us, we will never be able to count the countless, then the least we need to do is appreciate, and appreciation is not done by words, but rather by action that support what we want to say, why? The least among us heard how actions speak louder than verbs. Yes, in anything we look at, endless are the blessings in every gift Allah gave us, however, have we paid back with thanks, I will never stop wondering what an amount of thanks will satisfy, then why we do not go back to what He wants, Ayah 51:56 says:
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
“Allah created the Jinn and mankind only to worship Him”, so clear, so simple, needs no genius to explain this. Now, since we are speaking about Allah, and we said this “name” is all about worship, now we realize why? We are created for the sake of this name, then no wonder why this name is repeated all over the book and repeated much more than any other names we know about, not to forget how many of His names we know nothing about as well, 99 names are not all the names Allah has, He has endless doubles we know nothing about, now knowing about does not give us the right to invent, and say: since we do not know about all the rest, perhaps God is one of them, no it isn’t, we invented.
Now, what lies behind this Ayah here, we see how in doing so, in worshiping Allah this also satisfies the purpose behind our creation, this also satisfies the best proper way in saying: thank you LORD for all that which you blessed us with, and it is endless in its every blessing. Since this is the way He wants, since this is what He asked for, then this form of thanking Allah is the best, and the best about this is the fact that it is accepted, simply because He said this is what He wants, what more proofs we need, what more wonderful easy way to thank Him better than how He put for this, then let us do things His way, not our way. We have so much, or let us say more than what we can think of to thank Allah for, let us start thanking Him, no matter how much we thank Him is not good enough, then let us not loose time in doing so, let us start now, why wait since we know what is required and what is needed?
Please come to worship Allah in the Glory of His Holiness, my brother, my sister, my friends, please come to understand, working for a good living today is good, dreaming about comfort now is just fine, trying to provide ourselves and those whom we love with the best there is, there is nothing wrong with such intentions if done properly and without offending Allah, BUT, this is not life, this is not the true comfort, all this is just a dream, and in most cases is a nightmare. True life is waiting in the Hereafter, not in the Here today, true wonderful comfort is not now, and it is for those who will wait, and pay attention, also to those who fulfill what Allah asks them to do, this lifetime if not spent in worship, then rest assured this is just a waste. You want to prepare wonderful life for yourself also for those who you love and care about, then prepare yourself and them for Paradise, which is Eternal, no matter how long this life may be, it is nothing compared with Eternal.
For those of us who understand the wonderful blessings Allah gave us, for those who realize our need and how much it is important to say: thank you Ya Allah for all of this, please do as Allah wants, do come to worship, this is not for His sake, this is, I repeat this, and will keep repeating till you do hear and understand: this is done for your sake, not for His sake, who has ears let them hear, who has eyes let them see, and who have hearts we pray they may come to accept it. We have a lot to be thankful for, how much you may ask: look around, with every bit your eyes can cover, look at such with little reflection and say: what are the blessings in such, then when you discover little by little, say: Al Hamdu Lillah (Thanks to Allah), who gave us without waiting us to beg for it, who provided even before we came, and we just come to find it, Allah is who made this possible and did not wait for us to struggle to have it, Al Hamdu Lillah who gave us life to come and enjoy all of this.
You can see I can write miles and miles about the wonderful blessings in the name: Allah, however, and since we have a lot to cover, we are still in the second word in the Noble book, let us move along, and pick up from this wonderful Paradise of Qur’aan as much as possible, next time we will pick up the next name mentioned Insha Allah, and see how wonderful is Allah in every way we look at this.
To Be Continued Insha Allah
What you will do with this message; will you help me reach others, tell them about this effort, forward, or send me their E mails? Please work for the sake of Allah, and for your place in Paradise.
Is Qur’aan from Allah?
Al Salaam Aleikum, we started responding to couple of messages I received, let us pick the first, and leave the second till another time, the first one said: You appear to be a literate person who enjoys words. I too enjoy words and thoughts and theories but is the action that people take which demonstrates there true intensions. So why do Muslims attack and murder non believers? And why do Muslims continue the cycle of death and hate?
You asked: why do Muslims attack and murder non believers? As we said before: our friend here thinks that we Muslims have orders from Allah to attack and murder non believers, he means all non Muslims. I will not ask him to show me where in Qur’aan this is found, because he cannot find such things in the Noble words of Allah, this is found in Judeo-Christian books, also other books, be it Hindu, Seik or any other, except perhaps in Buddhism/Taoism. Let us bring an example from the Judeo-Christian books. II Chronicles 15:13, which says: that whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death. I found this kind of evil teaching found in other books apart and less than the Noble Qur’aan, can this reader and his like support what he said by finding one Ayah (Verse) in the Noble Qur’aan saying: that whosoever would not seek the LORD Allah of Muhammad should be put to death?
Since he cannot, even if all those who are misleading him cannot, then we say: what he asked about is found in his faith (if he has one), not our Muslim faith, then why the picture is so converted? The word seek in other books means: attack and murder all non believers as he said. He may come back to say: but in your Qur’aan there are verses like: and kill Jews and Christians everywhere you find them, an example is in Surah 2, verse 191, which is true, we do have this and similar Ayahs in the Noble Qur’aan saying: kill them everywhere you find them, however, is this how the words are stated? No they are not, why? Now before I explain this, let me say the following: through the whole Noble Qur’aan, the word Christian, Christianity, or any similar derivatives are not found period, Christians are never mentioned by name in our book, and Allah mention them in a none direct manner, like saying: those who say three Gods, or those who say: God has a son.
Yes, Christian, or any of its derivatives are never mentioned in Qur’aan, now most Muslims think the word Nazarene: نصارى, means Christians, I tell them: no it is not, the difference is obvious, and the difference is great, Allah said in Ayah 3:52 how Isa SAW (Jesus) and his Disciples were Muslims. Go world wide asking Christians: are you Muslims, they will say no, seek and try to find if they call themselves by Nazarene, and you will see they are not, they call themselves by Christians. Jesus said Christian’s books: I came only to the lost sheep of Israel, their books say: to his own (Israelis) he came and was rejected, Christians have a Testimony so clear shouting loud in their faces: Jesus did not come for them, they adopted him against his wish, and they do belong to book that are not from Heaven.
Now back to our proofs, as I said: they say: Qur’aan says: kill them everywhere you find them, first of all, we all can notice including those who attack with no knowledge how this example we gave above says: Ayah 191, what is the meaning of this number before we read the Ayah itself and discuss it? 191 means we have 190 Ayahs (verses) before we reach number 191, or even when they bring an Ayah from different Surahs (Chapters) like saying: Surah 9, this means we have 8 Surahs before it, then they pick up one Ayah (verse) acting smart about it. We say: dear naïve, if you did not learn Math at school, come we Muslims are the nation that gave Math to the world, let us explain, numbers means there is something before, after, and you cannot take verses out of context to discuss Qur’aan, you may be able to do so in every other book, but Qur’aan is different, Qur’aan is the only book from above, from Heaven, so do not treat it in such a miserable way.
When we want to discuss Ayah 191, we need to read 190 Ayahs first to know what 191 is talking about, it is not like you found this on the side of the road, this Ayah belongs in a book, in a chapter, do not skip over like showing clear indication of evil intentions. We challenge the world that attacks Islam, come and let us discuss what you have.
