Islamic Faith
<\/strong>\ud83d\udd16 Allah Almighty sent the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to warn a nation that lived in complete darkness and neglect, lacking faith, belief, proper conduct, and ethics.
\ud83d\udd16 At a time when there was no glimmer of light for humanity, Allah Almighty sent the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the Quran and Islam for all mankind.
\ud83d\udd16 With the Prophet\u2019s mission, Allah Almighty completed His blessings upon humanity.
\ud83d\udd16 Human beings have always been endowed with material and spiritual blessings, but without spiritual blessings, material blessings remain incomplete, and people will face torment after death.
\ud83d\udd16 Before Islam, human rights were ignored, the rights of neighbors and the oppressed were violated, and people worshiped stones, wood, idols, images, jinn, and angels. Polytheism was widespread.
\ud83d\udd16 Before the advent of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the world was corrupt in belief and practice, steeped in moral darkness, marked by harsh interactions, and rife with injustices, such as denying women the right to choose marriage or inheritance. Islam brought transformative guidance and enlightenment, leading people to embrace this religion.
\ud83d\udd16 Islam brought the light of belief and moral righteousness into society, abolished oppression, theft, and tyranny, and introduced freedom, justice, equity, and brotherhood. It elevated human dignity.
\ud83d\udd16 In a world plagued by injustice, Islam brought justice and equity. During an era devoid of humanity, morals, and respect for human rights, Islam introduced these values.
\ud83d\udd16 With the emergence of Islam, idol worshippers became monotheists, followers of a divine law, and founders of a civilization. Nations previously lifeless and unknown gained prominence, dignity, and respect globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Companions
<\/strong>\ud83d\udd16 The glory of the companions (Sahabah) stems from their complete adherence to Shariah, their support for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and their defense of Islam.
\ud83d\udd16 The companions will be remembered as a vibrant and influential nation until the Day of Judgment.
\ud83d\udd16 What elevated the companions were Islam, noble ethics, lawful livelihoods, and righteous deeds.
\ud83d\udd16 People were inspired by the companions’ belief and morals, which led them to accept Islam.
\ud83d\udd16 During the Prophet\u2019s time, the companions, having experienced disbelief, polytheism, and pre-Islamic ignorance, felt as though they were reborn.
\ud83d\udd16 The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rejoiced and was reassured in his final moments upon witnessing the prayers of his companions, confident they would not revert to pre-Islamic ignorance but would continue to serve and sacrifice for Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Women
<\/strong>\ud83d\udd16 After the advent of Islam, women gained recognition, pursued knowledge and piety, and rendered such services that left men feeling humbled.
\ud83d\udd16 Women in the early Islamic era supported the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and propagated Islam worldwide.
\ud83d\udd16 Women have shone in human history both before and after Islam, offering great sacrifices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ignorance
<\/strong>\ud83d\udd16 One of the threats to humanity is “ignorance.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against reverting to the era of ignorance, a time marked by a lack of faith, guidance, and awareness, leading to sinful acts.
\ud83d\udd16 The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) referred to many sins as manifestations of ignorance.
\ud83d\udd16 Today\u2019s society suffers from ignorance, with contemporary sins proving more dangerous than those of pre-Islamic times. Beware of falling into modern-day ignorance.
\ud83d\udd16 Breaches of trust, broken promises, adultery, tribal conflicts, unjust killings, oppression, kidnapping, and hostage-taking are manifestations of ignorance.
\ud83d\udd16 Allah warns that if people turn away from His path towards ignorance and disobedience, He will replace them with a nation possessing good qualities.
\ud83d\udd16 We should adopt the virtues of other nations, cultures, and societies while rejecting their flaws.
\ud83d\udd16 Avoid all acts contrary to reason, logic, and religion, whether from modern or pre-Islamic ignorance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addiction
<\/strong>\ud83d\udd16 “Addiction” is one of humanity’s greatest threats, and in my view, it is even more dangerous than “murder.”
\ud83d\udd16 Cultivation of opium and drug trafficking are detrimental to society.
\ud83d\udd16 Do not provide drugs even to non-Muslims, as it harms everyone alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quran
<\/strong>\ud83d\udd16 Following the Quran and the Prophet\u2019s Seerah is the only path to humanity’s salvation.
\ud83d\udd16 The Quran is the greatest book of guidance, bringing enlightenment to society.
\ud83d\udd16 Let us recite the Quran and spread its message.
\ud83d\udd16 The polytheists of Mecca were never as sensitive to anything as they were to the Quran, recognizing its magnetic appeal to hearts. For this reason, they called the Quran “sorcery” and the Prophet “a sorcerer.”
\ud83d\udd16 The Quran is a lamp of guidance and a beacon for humanity’s salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowledge
<\/strong>\ud83d\udd16 No blessing in the world is greater than knowledge and faith.
\ud83d\udd16 Faith and knowledge are essential for human life and advancement.
\ud83d\udd16 Encourage your children to pursue knowledge.
\ud83d\udd16 While worldly possessions are fleeting and subject to loss, knowledge and the Quran, if acted upon, bring enduring benefits in this life and intercession in the hereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worship and Morality
<\/strong>\ud83d\udd16 Humanity today is neglecting its true purpose, which is to worship Allah, serve Him, and honor the dignity of fellow humans.
\ud83d\udd16 Let us live with respect, dignity, and human honor, which are achieved through knowledge, recognition of Allah, and faith.
\ud83d\udd16 We must protect and uphold the values of faith, morality, the Quran, and the Seerah of the Prophet.
\ud83d\udd16 Be among the awakened nations and live with awareness.
\ud83d\udd16 Support religious and public schools and the Tablighi Jamaat, which are sources of pride and honor.
\ud83d\udd16 Perform good deeds, and let us serve as messengers of faith and goodness to the world.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>\ud83d\udd16 Security must be preserved, for insecurity benefits no one.
\ud83d\udd16 Insecurity brings about problems and harms everyone.
\ud83d\udd16 Our advice to all is to refrain from actions causing insecurity, such as murder and theft.
\ud83d\udd16 Theft, adultery, murder, and corruption are acts of ignorance and destroy faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
