Who is the Prophet?

“If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad?

The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislations, empires, peoples and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls. . . his forbearance in victory, his ambition, which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire; his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and his triumph after death; all these attest not to an imposture but to a firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma. This dogma was twofold, the unity of God and the immateriality of God; the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with words.”

“Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire; that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?”

Do what u gota do!

I was asking my friend about some pressing issue and how i can solve it.

So he answered me whilst we were in his car, he turned his head around, looked at me in the rear seat and gave his usual beautiful but this time slightly amusing piece of advice,

“you got to do what you got to do!”

so do what u got to do.

if i look at it closely he’s right you got to have some determination but…..

you got to do what you got to do!!!!!!

Cruelty and its Roots, Beauty and its Roots- An incident from ‘Umar

Once ‘Umar the second caliph of Islam wept and then smiled and The Companions seeing this asked to why he did this.

He replied,

“I wept because (in the times of ignorance /jahiliyah)  i remember burying my little daughter alive and whilst i was burying her, she took hold of my beard. I cried because this deeply saddened me.

I smiled because (in the times ignorance times) i once made a idol out of dates and i got hungry so i ate it!”

Evils of television

Television can titillate, it cannot teach. It can bring images into our heart, not ideas into our mind. It appeals to the emotions, not the intellect.”,

writes Khalid Baig.

It desensitizes you to stuff, if you watch only 3-4 hours of television a day,
by the end of the month you have witnessed 75,000 acts of haraam
—-75,000 acts of zina, theft, lying, cheating, immodesty, etc….
and how many when you multiply that times 12???????

and imagine how much haraam you are allowing your kids watch in one year…
and even if you sit down and lecture them for an hour a day about Islam,
you will  counter those 75,000 acts of haram u let them watch a month

-reported by Khalid Yaseen-

Oh and what about the internet?…..

found some excellent articles on television and its evil or blessings.

One statement = one truth

The Emissary of God, Muhammad said

“The truest words spoken by a poet are the verses of Labid’:

“Is not all vain except God.”

- narrated by Abu Hurayra

Elegy composed by Labid – Truly awe inspiring – where is my life?

Every thing, but Allah, is vain

And all happiness, unconditionally, will vanish

When a man is on a night joumey, he thinks that he has accomplished some deed

But man spends his life in hopes

…

If you do not trust your self, approve it

Perhaps the past would unclose it to you

When you do not find a father other than ‘Adah and Ma’iid,

The judge (God) will punish you

On the day when every body will be informed of his deeds

When the record of his life is opened before Allah’

life. as i know it

just thinking, that however much help i want to get for anything, whether it be in terms of personal, financial, social….help to ppl…   Allah still knows me best.

i cn sit here bloggin away about so many things or i can cry ma hart to God, priorities.ay?

I suppose at least i recognise my arrogance though my ignorance(the latter means that which a person thinks he knows and acts all bad wn he dont, i dint know tht before) so at least inshallah am of those who at least aint totally arrogant to not even see they doin wrong, but ive noticed that when in times of need and one asks for peoples help, whther openly or as a male, indirectly, people are just that people, they have time for you and their own lives,But God

well…He’s  always there, yeh we ask ppl but inshallah i will ask God alot more, inshallah ma blogs are likema diary bt obviously nt 100% personal as it can be seen by anyone (of trillions) or a few or just me!!

i wonder why am posting blogs?is it due to me finking am knowledgeable, when am more like hypocrite or am i being too down trodden and weak?

so life, its crazy but what a test, i just look at others ~(and when i may notbe  looking down at them…) and think how do they live, but i think i need to taste life and start actually putting true belief and hope in allah and hold his rope in this meandering somewhat stoodstill life.
