WAKE UP UMMAH

You Are Liable For Misleading Others!

Don’t Promote Nudity, Sex & Vulgarity!

Righteousness Is The Best Garment!

(By: M. Javed Naseem)

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَن تَشِيعَ ٱلْفَاحِشَةُ فِى ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لَهُمْ

عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ  
“Those who love (to see) scandal published/broadcast

(or slander spread) among the believers, will have a

grievous penalty in this life and in the Hereafter.

Allah knows, and you know not.”

(al-Quran 24:19).

Everybody is responsible for his/her own actions and will be questioned on the Day of Judgment. Spreading evil is a big sin and you will be questioned for misguiding the believers, for spreading misleading information, gossip and rumors; for sending people astray. If anybody is misguided and went astray because of your effort (e-mail, SMS, blogs, Google+ posts, Facebook photos & messages, articles in newspapers/magazines, speeches or features or films broadcasts on radio/TV/stream, sharing sexual contents, dirty/lustful poetry, nude or semi-nude pics and fake Ahadith (Prophet (s.a.w.)’s sayings), un-authentic/false ‘fatwah’ (decree) based on ignorance; etc., etc., you will be held responsible for his bad deeds on the Day of Judgment; and will be compensated (punished) accordingly. Verify the facts before sharing with others and spreading them on the internet or otherwise!

قُلْ يَـۤأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَابِ لاَ تَغْلُواْ فِى دِينِكُمْ غَيْرَ ٱلْحَقِّ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُوۤاْ

أَهْوَآءَ قَوْمٍ قَدْ ضَلُّواْ مِن قَبْلُ وَأَضَلُّواْ كَثِيراً وَضَلُّواْ عَن سَوَآءِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ

“Say: O people of the Scripture! Stress not in your

religion other than the truth, and follow not the

vain desires of folk who erred of old, and led

many astray; and erred from the straight path.”

(al-Quran 5:77)

In the battle between ‘good’ and ‘evil’, a Muslim is a party to Good and not to Evil. This is the nature of Islam and this is also the duty of every Muslim.

وَلاَ تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَانِ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ آلْعِقَابِ

“Help not one another unto sin and transgression, but keep

your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is severe in punishment.”

(al-Quran 5:2)

Allah loves goodness and justice. He commands us not to spread corruption in the earth. At the same time He commands us to ward off evil too as that’s the only way to keep a society crime-free, peaceful and prosperous.

وَلاَ تَبْخَسُواْ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلاَ تَعْثَوْاْ فِى ٱلأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

“Wrong not mankind in their goods, and

Do not evil, making mischief in the earth.”

(al-Quran 26:183)

When you have friends who don’t fear Allah nor do they care about the Hereafter, you are bound to get influenced by them. Their influence is great because they have the great power of Satan with them. They will send you astray; make you deviate from the straight path; and try to corrupt your mind to the extent that evil does not look evil to you any more. It is accepted as a normal course of life. They are the friends of Satan and they will face the wrath of Allah:

ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجاً وَهُمْ بِٱلآخِرَةِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ

أُولَـٰئِكَ لَمْ يَكُونُواْ مُعْجِزِينَ فِى ٱلأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ

مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ يُضَاعَفُ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مَا كَانُواْ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُواْ يُبْصِرُونَ

أُوْلَـٰئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوۤاْ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ

لاَ جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلآخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلأَخْسَرُونَ

“Who debar (men) from the way of Allah and would

have it crooked, and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter.

Such will not escape in the earth, nor have they any

protecting friends besides Allah. For them the torment will be

double. They could not bear to hear, and they used not to see.

Such are they who have lost their souls, and that which they

used to invent has failed them. Assuredly, in the Hereafter

they will be the greatest losers.”

(al-Quran 11:19-22)

أَن لَّعْنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّالِمِينَ

“The curse of Allah is on evil-doers.”

(al-Quran 7:44)

Best Dawah: Lead By Example !

Everybody with a computer is doing ‘Dawah’ these days. ‘Copy’ and ‘Paste’ is not good enough for ‘Dawah’ (preaching). It can’t be very effective if it is not accompanied by good deeds. Your words can’t influence people if they don’t have the spiritual power behind them. And that power comes with piety or righteousness (‘Taqwah’). You don’t have to preach Islam (Dawah) when you don’t practice it yourself! If we say something else and do something else, this is called hypocrisy (‘munafiqat’). And hypocrites will be punished by Allah.

يٰأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لاَ تَفْعَلُونَ

كَبُرَ مَقْتاً عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُواْ مَا لاَ تَفْعَلُونَ
“O you who believe! Why SAY you that which you DO not?  
It is most hateful in the sight of Allah that

you SAY that (something) which you DO not.”

(al-Quran 61:2-3)

Don’t listen to those ignorant (‘jaahil’) scholars (‘ulema’) who command that every Muslim must do ‘Dawah’ (preaching). No, not the way they say! Like many other things, they misinterpret ‘Dawah’ too.

Your best ‘Dawah’ is your own character, your conduct, your manners, your pursuit of the Quran and Sunnah, your action and your implementation of Islamic laws or rules & regulations; and your obedience to the commands of Allah and His Prophet (s.a.w.). Be a walking model of Islam if you want to do ‘Dawah’ (preaching Islam). Lead by example and not by words alone! Be a ‘model’ Muslim to influence others! That’s true ‘Dawah’. As they say in America: Action talks and bullshit walks!

All non-Muslims who are reverting to Islam these days are doing this because they like Islam. They love this simple and just system of life. Non-Muslims of the West are turning into Muslims because of Islam and not because of Muslims. Islam is perfect and Muslims are not. But at the same time they are discouraged by Muslims because modern Muslims are not good role-models. They claim but they don’t practice Islam. They don’t live by Islam (or by the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet). That’s a pity.

يَابَنِيۤ آدَمَ قَدْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاساً يُوَارِى سَوْءَاتِكُمْ وَرِيشاً

وَلِبَاسُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ ٱللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
“O you children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment

upon you to cover your shame, as well as to be an

adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness,

that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah,

that they may receive admonition!”

(al-Quran 7:26)

Newly reverted Muslims are discouraged by the fact that they don’t find exemplary Muslims in any Islamic country. Islamic culture is rapidly transforming into Western culture in every Muslim country. You might find its remnants in some far off villages or deserts. Most of the governments in those countries are corrupt and people are not happy. Sectarian violence is another growing problem in these Muslim countries.

On the other hand, they see Muslims from these countries visiting or living in the West enjoying drinking, womanizing and pursuing a lifestyle entirely against Islamic norms. That’s very confusing for them because they became Muslims by choice and by their own free will. They think that every Muslim did the same thing. If you choose to live by a system by your own free will, how can you violate that system? How can you go against it? It makes no sense! This is shear hypocrisy and some non-Muslims are reacting to that strongly. That hypocrisy among modern-day Muslims is bringing disrepute to Islam and bad name to all Muslims.

فَرِيقاً هَدَىٰ وَفَرِيقاً حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلضَّلاَلَةُ إِنَّهُمُ ٱتَّخَذُوا

ٱلشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
“Some He has guided. Others have (by their choice)

deserved the loss of their way; in that they took the evil

ones (Satans), in preference to Allah, for their friends and

protectors; and think that they receive guidance.”

(al-Quran 7:30)

Muslims are responsible for their own downfall. Islam is not at fault, Muslims are. They are fueling hatred and discrimination against their own brethren by their attitude, character, actions and manners. Instead of changing themselves to meet the Islamic requirements, they are trying to change (or bend) Islam to meet their requirements. That’s why we find hundreds of religious sects/groups. We should still be grateful to Allah that we have our own independent countries, our freedom and our culture to some extent. We need to sincerely and honestly establish Allah’s prescribed ‘Deen’ and His law in our countries if we want to live in this world with honor and respect. If Allah was not kind to us, we would have been totally ruined.

وَلَوْلاَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ 
“Were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you,

and that Allah is full of kindness and mercy,

(you would be ruined indeed).”

(al-Quran 24:20)

Satan Is Non-Believers’ Friend.

His Ways Lead To Hellfire.

Secularism is a fashionable term used by Zionist forces today and it is the best weapon non-believers or atheists use in their cultural onslaught against any civilization or religion, particularly Islam. They influence educational policies of Muslim countries in the name of ‘development’ and they try to bring political, cultural and social changes in the name of ‘democracy’. Those who oppose that, they are removed from the way (or eliminated). Simple solution! They have hundreds, even thousands, of operatives of their secret agencies actively engaged in subversive activities in Muslim countries. They are friends of Satan and Satan has his own agenda. Allah warns us:

يَابَنِيۤ آدَمَ لاَ يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ كَمَآ أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُمْ مِّنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ

يَنْزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْءَاتِهِمَآ إِنَّهُ يَرَاكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُ

مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ تَرَوْنَهُمْ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا ٱلشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ لِلَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ
“O you children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you,

in the same manner as he got your parents out of the Garden,

stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame; for he

and his tribe watch you from a position where you cannot see

them. We made the evil ones (Satans), friends

(only) to those without faith.”

(al-Quran 7:27)

In the name of cultural changes, they are promoting lewdness, nudity, pornography, unethical behavior and shameless conduct among young people. They try to justify it by lying and deceiving.

وَإِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَاحِشَةً قَالُواْ وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَآ آبَاءَنَا وَٱللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا

قُلْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لاَ يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ
“When they do aught that is shameful, they say:

‘We found our fathers doing so’; and ‘Allah

commanded us thus’. Say: Nay, Allah never

commands what is shameful; do you say of Allah

what you know not?"

(al-Quran 7:28)

Islam is a way of life based on justice, decency and mercy. In the Holy Quran, Allah commands His Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) to declare to the mankind that Allah has commanded justice:

قُلْ أَمَرَرَبِّى بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَأَقِيمُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِد

ٍ وَٱدْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ كَمَا بَدَأَكُمْ تَعُودُونَ
“Say: ‘My Lord has commanded justice; and that

you set your whole selves (to Him) at every time

and place of prayer, and call upon Him, making your

devotion sincere as in His sight; such as He created

you in the beginning, so shall you return."

(al-Quran 7:29)

Our best defense is to stay away from evil and evil-mongers. Allah, the Almighty, warns us in the Holy Quran again and again that we should not follow Satan and his friends. Satan leads to evil and evil leads to Hellfire. Remembrance of Allah can bring us closer to Him and He alone can protect us from the powerful Satan. Without the mercy of Allah, we cannot defend ourselves; we’ll be ruined.

يٰأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَاتِ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ وَمَن يَتَّبِعْ

خُطُوَاتِ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنْكَرِ

وَلَوْلاَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ مَا زَكَا مِنكُمْ مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَبَداً

وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُزَكِّى مَن يَشَآءُ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ 
“O you who believe! Follow not Satan's footsteps.

If any will follow the footsteps of Satan, he will (but)

command what is shameful and wrong. And were it not

for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, not one of you

would ever have been pure. But Allah does purify

whom He pleases. And Allah is One

Who hears and knows (all things).”

(al-Quran 24:21)

So, it is very clear that without God’s mercy, we’ll be lost. Therefore, it is only logical that we turn to Him for help, mercy, forgiveness and guidance. Allah warns us:

قُلْ يٰعِبَادِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُواْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لاَ تَقْنَطُواْ مِن رَّحْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً إِنَّهُ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
“Say: O my servants who have transgressed against

their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah,

for Allah forgives all sins; for He is Oft-Forgiving,

Most Merciful.”

(al-Quran 39:53)

وَأَنِـيبُوۤاْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُواْ لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لاَ تُنصَرُونَ
Turn to your Lord (in repentance) and bow to

His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you;

after that you shall not be helped.”

(al-Quran 39:54)
