DON'T HATE PEOPLE For Their Govt.'s Faults

When Governments Become

More Powerful Than God!

They Forget God And Humans

Don’t hate people for the fault

of their governments. Your own

govt. does similar things!

(M. Javed Naseem)

  

إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ أَن يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْعَدَاوَةَ وَٱلْبَغْضَآءَ

فِى ٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلْمَيْسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ

وَعَنِ ٱلصَّلاَةِ فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُّنتَهُونَ
“Shaitan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred

between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and

hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and

from prayer. Will you not then abstain?”

(al-Quran 5:91)

Nationalism is good but sometimes it blinds you from seeing the truth and acknowledging the reality. If you don’t keep an open mind and a clean heart, you are bound to fall in the ditch of hatred. Then the biased media would further add fuel to the fire to keep you blind and objective in your judgments. It happens all over the world, in every country!

***********************************

In America you can (still) blast the Govt.

But in Israel & Saudi Arabia (and most

Muslim or Arab countries), you cannot!
Pakistanis are lucky to enjoy freedom

but are very ungrateful and abusive.

***********************************

 America is a great country – actually the greatest of all countries on the face of this Earth. No other country in the world guarantees you or gives you the rights and liberties (freedom) the American people enjoy. You can generally live your life the way you want. This is because of the American Constitution and the First Amendment to it. The rights of the people were preserved by that document for the generations to come.

Today, when we talk about America, it refers to two things: The People, and The Govt. The Government don’t always do what the American people exactly want. Similarly, the American people don’t always agree (or approve) 100% what the Govt. do at home or on the international scene. They are two different parties.

وَلاَ يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ أَن صَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ

أَن تَعْتَدُواْ وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلْبرِّ وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَلاَ تَعَاوَنُواْ

عَلَى ٱلإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَانِ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ آلْعِقَابِ
“… And let not the hatred of some people in

(once) shutting you out of the Sacred Mosque

lead you to transgression (and hostility on your

part). Help one another in righteousness and piety,

but help not one another in sin and rancor.

Fear Allah, for Allah is strict in punishment.”

(al-Quran 5:2)

Now, when the people in other countries curse America or protest against its unjust (or inhuman) actions in the world, the American Govt. is at fault and should take the blame. The majority of the American people don’t always approve those actions (though the American Congress or the Senate may approve them). That Congress and the Senate is like the Parliament of any other country where you can influence the members (or even bribe them). They can sell out the rights and interests of the people for their own rights and interests. Wherever there are human beings, this would happen. Only the percentage would be different, according to the characters of the nations.

يَا أَيُّهَآ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّامِينَ لِلَّهِ شُهَدَآءَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ

وَلاَ يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَىۤ أَلاَّ تَعْدِلُواْ ٱعْدِلُواْ هُوَ

أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah,

as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred

of others to you make you swerve to wrong and

depart from justice. Be just, that is next to piety;

and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted

with all that you do.”

(al-Quran 5:8)

People in other countries should not forget that the American people always stand up and raise voice against injustice and oppression, whether in Cambodia, Vietnam, Korea, China, Russia, Middle East, Nicaragua, etc., etc. They take out protest marches, demonstrations and sometimes occupy the premises (like Wall Street) to show their just and honest sentiments for justice, peace and the Right thing. I have personally participated in many protest demonstrations (about Palestine, Iraq war, etc.) in front of the White House, along with the whites and blacks. Most of the times, people in foreign countries don’t understand it and they curse the American People for the faults of the American Govt. They should know the difference between the two. They should know that America is the country that brought a sitting President (Bill Clinton) to the court of justice.

There are instances when the American people feel ‘ashamed’, but there are a lot more instances that make them ‘proud’ for upholding the integrity, sanctity and honor of Humanity (human rights).

Jesse Venture is a very interesting guy. We may not agree with everything he says but one thing is certain. He feels the pain that people are going through due to injustice, oppression or other unfair practices on the part of the powerful ruling few. He is a fighter (was a WWF wrestling champion!) and is known for his outbursts. He was the Governor of Minnesota state (in America) and worked for the welfare of the people. He hated the American (corrupt) system so much that after many years of struggle (fighting for the ‘right’ thing), he left his country and settled in Latin America (in Mexico). I remember well when I lived in America and Jesse Ventura was a Governor. He was known for his funny and sometimes controversial statements. Actually, every politician makes such statements from time to time.

********************************************

“I view the United States today, much like East Berlin.

And I’m off the grid. I’ve tried for 20 years to warn the

country about the Democrats and Republicans, and

nobody’s listening. I now view the United States from

the outside, and I don’t like what I see,”

                                                         --- Jesse Ventura

********************************************

Here’s what Wikipedia tells us about him:

“James George Janos (born July 15, 1951), better known by his stage name, Jesse Ventura, is an American politician, actor, author, naval veteran, and former professional wrestler who served as the 38^th Governor of Minnesota, from 1999 to 2003. Ventura served as a U.S. Navy Underwater Demolition Team member during the period of the Vietnam War. After leaving the military, he embarked on a professional wrestling career from 1975 to 1986, taking the ring name ‘Jesse "The Body" Ventura’. He had a long tenure in the WWF (World Wrestling Federation) as a performer and color commentator, and was inducted into the Federation's Hall of Fame in 2004. Ventura also pursued a film career, appearing in films such as Predator (1987).”

“Ventura left office in 2003, deciding not to run for re-election. After leaving office, Ventura became a visiting fellow at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government in 2004. He has since also hosted a number of television shows and has written several political books. Ventura remains politically active and currently hosts a show on Ora TV called ‘Off the Grid’. He has publicly contemplated a run for President of the United States in 2016.”

As we know that nobody is perfect, we may disapprove certain things he stands for (as a politician). But generally speaking, Jesse Ventura is a nice guy.

He hosts a TV show called “Off the Grid”. He is very critical of the government’s excesses and curtailing the rights of the people. Recently, he blasted the administration accusing it of making America a ‘police state’. Click on the link below to watch his interview video:

From: rt.com

Jesse Ventura goes off grid,

“so the drones can't find me”.

Surveillance drones haven't started hovering outside and above the homes of Americans en masse just yet, but former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura claims he's left the United States just in case.

Ventura, a 62-year-old professional wrestler-turned-politician, says his new Ora TV program 'Off the Grid' is being filmed in secret somewhere in Mexico where the all-seeing eye of American unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, don't have a chance of finding him.

Speaking to CNBC on Tuesday from an “undisclosed location” south of the border, Ventura said there was a reason he doesn't reveal his each and every movement.

“I’m off the grid. I move about with my TV show so that the drones can’t find me and you won’t know exactly where I am,” Ventura said.

According to Ventura, his Ora TV program will continue to broadcast “as long as we have solar power and we can reach the satellite.”

“I view the United States, today, much like East Berlin. And I’m off the grid. I’ve tried for 20 years to warn the country about the Democrats and Republicans, and nobody’s listening,” he said

“I now view the United States from the outside, and I don’t like what I see,” added Ventura, who won Minnesota's gubernatorial election back in 1998. “You know what the favorite T-shirt was off the grid down here a couple years ago? A picture of [former President] George Bush, and it said weapon of mass destruction. Is that the way we want the United States portrayed throughout the world? I don’t think so.”

Ventura's remarks on CNBC came only days after he made a similar comment to veteran broadcaster Larry King on the newsman's own Ora TV production, Politicking.

“I can't do this show and talk about what I want to talk about in the United States,” Ventura said of 'Off the Grid.' “They are locked down up there,” he said, again from an undisclosed location.

Ventura equated his online-only program as being a twenty-first century version of Radio Free Europe, the US-sanctioned network that shared a western take on the news of the world among the people of communist countries after the second World War.

“Remember Radio Free Europe? This is Internet Free America with Jesse Ventura,” he told King. “Broadcasting across the grid, off the grid, back to the United States, Jesse is allowed speak freely without drones hovering over his head and tracking him down,” the ex-governor insisted.

And according to Ventura, his new endeavor is also helping to employ Mexicans who might otherwise attempt to permeate the jobs market in America, much to the chagrin of the perpetually unemployed.

“I’m a job creator,” Ventura said during the CNBC segment on Tuesday. “And I’m not only creating jobs, putting Mexicans to work, I’m stopping them from running across the border now and taking our jobs, because my whole staff said that if I wasn’t down here, and I didn’t have them, they’d be coming up to America, looking for jobs.”

Drone Surveillance:

(February 2014):

The US Federal Aviation Administration has projected that upwards of 30,000 drones will be deployed in American airspace by the end of the decade, and law enforcement agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation are already relying on unmanned aerial vehicles to track down dangerous criminals.

Should Ventura decide to return, though, then he may want to consider crossing back into the US at Mexico's border with California: lawmakers there advanced a measure last week that would outlaw warrantless drone surveillance in most instances. The US Department of Homeland Security will likely nevertheless continue to use drones to patrol that very same international crossing, but a mishap off of California's Pacific Coast last month lowered the number of DHS drones to only nine: a tenth UAV was crashed a few miles from San Diego after an onboard malfunction was detected, destroying the multi-million-dollar aircraft.

Reuters adds :

(Sept. 29, 2014)

(Reuters) - California Governor Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have placed strict regulations on how law enforcement and other government agencies can use drones, his office said on Sunday.

The measure, which passed the state's Senate and Assembly with broad support, would have required law enforcement agencies to obtain a warrant before using an unmanned aircraft, or drone, except in emergencies such as a fire or a hostage-taking.

"There are undoubtedly circumstances where a warrant is appropriate. The bill's exceptions, however, appear to be too narrow," Brown said in his veto message.

"The era of govt. surveillance continues," the bill's author, Republican Assemblyman Jeff Gorell, tweeted on Sunday evening. He expressed disappointment over the veto.

The measure faced opposition from law enforcement groups, including the state's police chiefs and sheriff's associations, as well as the Los Angeles District Attorney.

Idaho and Virginia have also passed laws restricting uses of pilot-less aircraft because of privacy concerns.

THE PLEASURE OF SIN But At What Price!

The Pleasure of Sin

But At What Price!

Don’t We Fear Allah?

When Would We Learn?

(M. Javed Naseem)

زُيِّنَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلْحَيَاةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَيَسْخَرُونَ

مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَامَةِ

وَٱللَّهُ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

”The life of this world is alluring to those who

reject faith, and they scoff at those who believe.

But the righteous will be above them on the

Day of Resurrection. For Allah bestows His

abundance without measure on whom He will.”

(al-Quran 2:212)

We Are The Wrong-Doers!

To err is human, it is said. But keep erring despite all warnings, is that human too? A mistake is a mistake when committed the first time. If it is repeated despite all warnings, it becomes a punishable crime.

Why do we commit sin? Why do we do wrong? Why do we push our friends to be our partners in evil?

Nobody on earth can come up with a just and real reason or an arguable motive that pushes people to disobey God and do evil, except in the following three situations:

1. Misconception.

2. Ignorance.

3. Arrogance.

MISCONCEPTION:

Some people have misconception about evil-doing. They believe that if somebody does anything wrong to them and they retaliate (or react), it is not evil. Retaliation and revenge can be evil too because it can harm innocent human beings. And ‘harm’ is very hard to justify. The most it can do is to give you ‘personal satisfaction’ for getting even. Call it “ego satisfaction”.

The other day, I was talking to some educated young Arab people. They were very frustrated since they had university degrees but no jobs. They were complaining about the corrupt system, dishonest functionaries and lack of job opportunities due to ill-planning or no-planning at all. They were all smoking drugs. When asked why, one of them said: “This is our reaction, our revenge, our protest to the corrupt government.”

I said: But you are not hurting the government or any of its inept ministers. You are hurting yourselves, ruining your lives, killing yourselves and hurting your parents, families and friends who count on you. Why don’t you see it that way? Frustration and disappointment must be tackled with patience and cool-minded alternatives. You are Muslims and Allah tells you in the Quran how to seek Allah’s help in all situations. Never do wrong; never commit evil! Always do the right, try your best to change things in the fairest and legal ways and leave the results to Allah! No violent reaction, no revenge, no illegal activity, no bloody confrontation – unless the Ummah leaders declare ‘Jihad’! That’s “patience” or “patient perseverance”.

يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ ٱسْتَعِينُواْ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَٱلصَّلاَةِ

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّابِرِينَ
“O you who believe! Seek help with patient

perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with

those who patiently persevere.”

(al-Quran 2:153)

IGNORANCE:

Ignorance is best translated in Urdu as “Jahaalat” (in Arabic: ‘Jahal’). In simple sense, an ignorant person ‘does not know’, but in fact that person does not ‘want’ to know. He prefers to follow the path his parents, friends or others followed. He never questions: Why? He just does it because others are doing it and he likes it. And that’s no justification for any evil or wrong-doing. As a mature human being, it is your responsibility to know the pros and cons of your actions. You should be able to judge your actions in black & white or ‘right & wrong’. If somebody gives you a good and sincere piece of advice; tells you what’s right or wrong but you don’t accept it, this is ignorance. Knowledge is the best cure for ignorance. You need to change your attitude. Because, eventually, you are responsible and liable for your actions. And again, you cannot justify wrong-doing.

ARROGANCE:

This is the worst situation of all. Arrogance is criminal for you know something is wrong but you insist on doing that because you 'like' or 'want' to do that. Arrogance comes out of pride and pride stems from ego. It forces you to abandon reason and logic. It was arrogance that cost Iblees (the Devil or Shaitan) the Paradise. His arrogant attitude (of superiority) made him disobey the command of Allah, the Almighty. As a result, he was cursed and destined to Hell. Allah dislikes the arrogant.

It’s a very common thing among the ‘smart’ Muslims that they blame Shaitan (the Devil) for their own wrong-doings; as if Shaitan forced them. That’s a lame excuse. Shaitan has no power over us. We make our own choices. Allah tells us in the Quran:

وَقَالَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ لَمَّا قُضِىَ ٱلأَمْرُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ ٱلْحَقِّ

وَوَعَدتُّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُكُمْ وَمَا كَانَ لِىَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّن سُلْطَانٍ

إِلاَّ أَن دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَٱسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِى فَلاَ تَلُومُونِى وَلُومُوۤاْ أَنفُسَكُمْ

مَّآ أَنَاْ بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ بِمُصْرِخِىَّ إِنِّى كَفَرْتُ بِمَآ

أَشْرَكْتُمُونِ مِن قَبْلُ إِنَّ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
“And the Devil will say when the matter is decided:

"It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth. I too

promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had

no authority over you except to call you but you listened

to me. So blame not me, but blame your own souls.

I cannot listen to your cries, nor can you listen to mine.

I reject your former act in associating me with Allah.

For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty."

(al-Quran 14:22).

There you go! There’s a very clear choice between the two ways and we (with our own free will) make our choice – right-way or wrong-way. Now the question arises: Aren’t we aware of the consequences of evil-doing? In most cases, we are. So, we do wrong knowingly, ignoring (or not caring about) the punishment. We must be shamelessly bold to go that far when at every step we are warned of the Hell-fire. That shameless boldness is called ‘arrogance’ and merits punishment.

I give here below a few (out of a thousand) verses from the Holy Quran where Allah, the Almighty, has warned us of the punishment for wrong-doing. A God-fearing human being would be shivering to imagine the situation. It’s time that we pay attention to these verses and try to secure our lives in the Hereafter. Remember! In these verses, Allah is talking about the evil or wrong-doing people:

لَهُمْ مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ وَمِن فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍ

وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّالِمِينَ
“For them there is Hell, as a couch (below) and

folds and folds of covering above; such is

Our requital of those who do wrong.”

(al-Quran 7:41)

وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ آمَنُواْ وَٱتَّقَواْ لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ

بَرَكَاتٍ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلأَرْضِ وَلَـٰكِن

كَذَّبُواْ فَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ
“If the people of the towns had but believed

and feared Allah, We should indeed have opened

out to them (all kinds of) blessings from heaven

and earth; but they rejected (the Truth), and

We brought them to book for their misdeeds.”

(al-Quran 7:96)

وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَآ آلَ فِرْعَونَ بِٱلسِّنِينَ

وَنَقْصٍ مِّن ٱلثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
“We punished the people of Pharaoh with

years (of droughts) and shortness of crops;

that they might receive admonition.”

(al-Quran 7:130)

فَٱنْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ بِأَنَّهُمْ

كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَكَانُواْ عَنْهَا غَافِلِينَ
“So We exacted retribution from them. We

drowned them in the sea, because they rejected

Our Signs and failed to take warning from them.”

(al-Quran 7:136)

سَأَصْرِفُ عَنْ آيَاتِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَكَبَّرُونَ فِى   ٱلأَرْضِ

بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَإِن يَرَوْاْ كُلَّ آيَةٍ لاَّ يُؤْمِنُواْ بِهَا

وَإِن يَرَوْاْ سَبِيلَ ٱلرُّشْدِ لاَ يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلاً

وَإِن يَرَوْاْ سَبِيلَ ٱلْغَىِّ يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلاً ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ

كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَكَانُواْ عَنْهَا غَافِلِينَ
“Those who behave arrogantly on the earth in

defiance of right - them will I turn away from

My signs. Even if they see all the signs, they will

not believe in them; and if they see the way of

right conduct, they will not adopt it as the way;

but if they see the way of error, that is the way

they will adopt. For they have rejected our signs,

and failed to take warning from them.”

(al-Quran 7:146)

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَلِقَآءِ ٱلآخِرَةِ حَبِطَتْ

أَعْمَالُهُمْ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلاَّ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ
“Those who reject Our signs and the meeting in

the Hereafter, vain are their deeds. Can they expect

to be rewarded except as they have wrought?”

(al-Quran 7:147)

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ

مِّنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ
“Those who reject Our signs, We shall

gradually visit with punishment,

in ways they perceive not.”

(al-Quran 7:182)

أَوَلَمْ يَنْظُرُواْ فِى مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلأَرْضِ

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ وَأَنْ عَسَىۤ أَن يَكُونَ

قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ
“Do they see nothing in the government of the

heavens and the earth and all that Allah has

created? (Do they not see) that it may well be

that their terms is nigh drawing to an end? In

what message after this will they then believe?”

(al-Quran 7:185)

Do we see what Allah has been showing us? As a matter of fact, it is for the people of understanding – for those who reflect. It’s for those who repent, beg for His mercy and seek His guidance and help – those who fear Him and treasure His pleasure.

Do we?

THE DEAD CAN'T HELP YOU!

A Short But To-The-Point Message:

Ask Allah, And Nobody Else!

The Dead Can’t Help

They Can’t Hear You

But Might Benefit From Your Prayers

(M. Javed Naseem)

This is a very important subject, so open your eyes and study the Quran seriously. Millions of people in the Muslim world have been misguided. They have gone astray and have earned the wrath of Allah. They call themselves Muslims but they are drowned in the ‘Shirk’ (associating partners with Allah), thus heading for Hell. They (in a way) worship some righteous people and commit ‘Shirk’ which, in return, makes all their good deeds vain. They forget that the righteous (pious) people (like Sufis, Darwishes, Saints, religious scholars, etc.) whom they follow, themselves followed the Quran and obeyed the commands of Allah. They were always against ‘Shirk’. Whatever status they achieved was a result of remembering, obeying, fearing and worshiping Allah. They did not ask anybody in the grave to help them or bless them.

Here are some of the verses from the Holy Quran with their English translation but without any commentary. Make your own judgment and try to understand them. Remember! It’s Allah talking to you, so pay attention!

وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلأَحْيَآءُ وَلاَ ٱلأَمْوَاتُ

 إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُ

 وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ

“Nor are alike those that are living and those

that are dead. Allah can make any that He wills

to hear; but you cannot make those to hear

who are (buried) in graves.” 

(al-Quran 35:22)

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لاَ يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئاً وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ

“Those whom they invoke besides Allah create

nothing and are themselves created.” 

(al-Quran 16:20)

أَمْواتٌ غَيْرُ أَحْيَآءٍ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ

“(They are things) dead, lifeless; nor do

they know when they will be raised up.”

(al-Quran 16:21) 

**********************

Say: ‘Help me, Allah’

(‘Ya Allah Madad’)!

The dead can’t help you!

They can’t even help

themselves any more.

**********************

Please don’t come up with any fake/weak Ahadith or stories of the saints. They are all  the ‘word of mouth’ of a man while the Quran is the Word of Allah. Please, know the difference! Do your duty to Allah first, human beings come after. It’s Allah Who has created you and you owe Him for everything you are enjoying in this life. You have obligations and duty to Him. Balance your account with Allah first before turning to human beings, dead or alive!

If you need any guidance or help in the matter of ‘Deen’, always turn to Allah’s Book, not to any Mullah or so-called scholar. Don’t let people fool you in the name of Islam! Make an effort! Try to find the answers yourself in the Quran! It’s your life and it’s your ‘Aakhirah’ that is at stake. So, it’s your duty to seek the truth from the right source. Don’t leave it to the discretion of others! Educate yourself; it’s an obligation in Islam! Study the Quran; do your research; do some hard-work by consulting and comparing different translations; and then form your own opinion! Listen to your heart, if you have purified it. Don’t take others’ opinions as the prescription for your own salvation. People who don’t know anything about their own fate in the Hereafter, cannot give you any guarantees about your fate.

********************************

Everything belongs to ALLAH.

No ‘Peer’ can give you the Paradise,

nor male offspring! All blessings and

guidance come from ALLAH; and

HE spoke to you through the Quran.

So, the Quran is your best ‘Peer’!

********************************

It is Allah Who gives you the ‘Rizq’ (provision); and it is Allah Who’ll grant you Heaven or Hell according to your good or bad deeds. He hears you directly and can respond/help you directly. Your prayers might benefit the dead and Allah can make things easier for them in the Hereafter. But they (the dead) can’t help you at all. Allah has made it very clear in the Holy Quran. So, obey Allah as per His commands in the Quran and don’t waste your time and energy in false hopes and controversies. Stay away from ‘Peers’ & ’Faqeers’ as most of them chase women and money! The Holy Quran is your best ‘Peer’ full of guidance and Allah’s mercy, if you understand.

Therefore, wake up and face the reality before it is too late!

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)

O Muslim Ummah!

Salaam-o-alaikum and Eid Mubarak! You are handling the present ‘Fitnah’ in a terrible un-Islamic, un-ethical, unreasonable and illogical way! Fear Allah and revert to the Quran for guidance! Join those who are honest in serving the Muslim Ummah, not those who are fighting for their own ‘war of power’ (‘Kursi’). I wish you good luck! Remember one thing! You’ll be rewarded according to your honest, sincere and whole-hearted efforts in the way of Allah.

My Wish For You:

I wish you were able to open the Book – The Holy Quran, the Word of Allah – read the following verses and do what Allah tells you to do:

هَـٰذَا بَيَانٌ لِّلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَمَوْعِظَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِين

“This (Quran) is a declaration for mankind, a guidance

and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil).”

(al-Quran 3:138)

ٱتَّبِعُواْ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ

مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَآءَ قَلِيلاً مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
“Follow (O men!) the revelation given unto you

from your Lord, and follow not, as friends or protectors,

other than Him! Little it is you remember of admonition.”

(al-Quran 7:3)

كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوۤاْ آيَاتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُو ٱلأَلْبَابِ

“Here is a Book which We have sent down unto you,

full of blessings, that they may ponder over its revelations,

and that men of understanding may receive admonition.”

(al-Quran 38:29)

إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِين وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُ بَعْدَ حِينِ َ

"This is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds. And

you shall certainly know the truth of it (all) after a while."

(al-Quran 38:87-88)

وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْآنِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

قُرْآناً عَرَبِيّاً غَيْرَ ذِى عِوَجٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ
“We have put forth for men, in this Quran every kind

of parable, in order that they may receive admonition.

(It is) a Quran in Arabic, without any crookedness

(therein); in order that they may guard against evil.”

(al-Quran 39:27-28)

I wish you would stop committing sins and wrong-doing, and stop spreading corruption as sinning, wrong-doing and corruption bring destruction:

وَكَم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا فَجَآءَهَا

بَأْسُنَا بَيَاتاً أَوْ هُمْ قَآئِلُونَ

“How many towns have We destroyed (for their sins)?

Our punishment took them on a sudden by night or

while they slept for their afternoon rest.”

(al-Quran 7:4)

فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوَاهُمْ إِذْ جَآءَهُمْ بَأْسُنَآ

إِلاَّ أَن قَالُوۤاْ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ
“When (thus) Our punishment took them, no cry

did they utter but this: "Indeed we did wrong."

(al-Quran 7:5)

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)

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)

I wish you would ask Allah for His Mercy, His Guidance, His Light and His Blessings in a way and in a manner that pleases Him:

إِلاَّ مَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلاً صَالِحاً فَأُوْلَـٰئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ ٱللَّهُ

سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُوراً رَّحِيماً

“Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds,

for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good,

and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

(al-Quran 25:70)

رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِى نُفُوسِكُمْ إِن تَكُونُواْ صَالِحِينَ

فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لِلأَوَّابِينَ غَفُوراً

“Your Lord knows best what is in your hearts. If you do

deeds of righteousness, verily He is Most Forgiving to those

who turn to Him again and again (in true penitence).”

(al-Quran 17:25)

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)

I wish you were able to obey your Creator, The Almighty Allah, as He commanded you to obey him and not follow the Shaitan. I wish you believed Allah that Shaitan was your open enemy:

أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يٰبَنِيۤ آدَمَ أَن لاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ ٱلشَّيطَانَ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ

وَأَنِ ٱعْبُدُونِى هَـٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ

وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنْكُمْ جِبِلاًّ كَثِيراً أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُواْ تَعْقِلُونَ

"Did I not enjoin on you, O you Children of Adam, that

you should not worship Shaitan; for that he was to you an

enemy avowed? And that you should worship Me, (for

that) this was the straight way? But he did lead astray a

great multitude of you. Did you not, then, understand?”

(al-Quran 36:60-62)

I wish you were able to follow the teachings and directions of the Messenger of Allah and our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) to live successfully in this world as he is the best role-model chosen for us by Allah and the ‘mercy for the entire mankind’:

وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
“And obey Allah and the Messenger;

that you may obtain mercy.”

(al-Quran 3:132)

لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن

كَانَ يَرْجُو ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيراً
“You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a

beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose

hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who

engages much in the praise of Allah.”

(al-Quran 33:21)

وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَٱحْذَرُواْ فَإِن

تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَٱعْلَمُوۤاْ أَنَّمَا عَلَىٰ رَسُولِنَا ٱلْبَلاَغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ
“Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and beware

(of evil). If you do turn back, know you that it is Our

Messenger's duty to proclaim (the message) in

the clearest manner.”

(al-Quran 5:92)

قُلْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ فإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْكَافِرِينَ
“Say: "Obey Allah and His Messenger"! But if they

turn back, Allah loves not those who reject Faith.”

(al-Quran 3:32)

مَّنْ يُطِعِ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ ٱللَّهَ وَمَن

تَوَلَّىٰ فَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظاً
“He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah.

But if any turn away, We have not sent you to

watch over their (evil deeds).”

(al-Quran 4:80)

وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَـٰئِكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم

مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّينَ وَٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءِ وَٱلصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَـٰئِكَ رَفِيقاً

“All who obey Allah and the Messenger are in the

company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah,

of the prophets (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth),

the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who

do good). Ah! What a beautiful fellowship!”

(al-Quran 4:69)

I wish you were able to lead by example as a true Muslim and become a source of inspiration, encouragement and education for others, promoting justice, peace, equality and piety (righteousness). I wish you could understand that a Muslim is an upright person – the symbol of righteousness:

قُلْ أَمَرَرَبِّى بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَأَقِيمُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ

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)

لَّيْسَ ٱلْبِرَّ أَن تُوَلُّواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ

وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلْبِرَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلآخِرِ وَٱلْمَلاۤئِكَةِ

وَٱلْكِتَابِ وَٱلنَّبِيِّينَ وَآتَى ٱلْمَالَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ ذَوِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ

وَٱلْيَتَامَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَاكِينَ وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَٱلسَّآئِلِينَ

وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَأَقَامَ ٱلصَّلاةَ وَآتَى ٱلزَّكَاةَ وَٱلْمُوفُونَ

بِعَهْدِهِمْ إِذَا عَاهَدُواْ وَٱلصَّابِرِينَ فِى ٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وٱلضَّرَّاءِ

وَحِينَ ٱلْبَأْسِ أُولَـٰئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُوآ وَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُم ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ ُ

“It is not righteousness that you turn your faces to

the East and the West; but righteous is he who believes

in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the

Scripture and the prophets; and gives his wealth, for

love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy

and the wayfarer and to those who ask. …”

(al-Quran 2:177)

I wish you were able to become a true, honest, sincere, grateful and obedient servant (or slave) of Allah and stay away from delusion. That’s the way of the righteous:

يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلآخِرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ

عَنِ ٱلْمُنْكَرِ وَيُسَارِعُونَ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَاتِ وَأُوْلَـٰئِكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّالِحِينَ
“They believe in Allah and the Last Day; they enjoin

what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten

(in emulation) in (all) good works. They are in the ranks

of the righteous.”

(al-Quran 3:114)

يٰأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱذْكُرُواْ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ هَلْ مِنْ خَالِقٍ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ

يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلأَرْضِ لاَ إِلَـٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ
“O men! Call to mind the grace of Allah unto you!

Is there a creator, other than Allah, to give you

sustenance from heaven or earth? There is no god but Him.

How then are you deluded away from the Truth?”

(al-Quran 35:3)

I wish you were able to fear Allah the way He should be feared, and you were able to promote justice, peace, tolerance and good manners so that Allah would reward you:

وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلْبرِّ وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَلاَ تَعَاوَنُواْ

عَلَى ٱلإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَانِ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ آلْعِقَابِ

“Help you one another in righteousness and piety, but

help you not one another in sin and rancour; fear Allah;

for Allah is strict in punishment.”

(al-Quran 5:2)

قُلْ يٰعِبَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمْ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُواْ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا

حَسَنَةٌ وَأَرْضُ ٱللَّهِ وَاسِعَةٌ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى ٱلصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
“Say: O you my servants who believe! Fear your Lord,

good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world!

Spacious is Allah's earth! Those who patiently persevere

will truly receive a reward without measure!"

(al-Quran 39:10)

I wish you were able to stand up for the fallen, down-trodden, oppressed and the victims of armed aggression in Muslim countries and beyond, for the sake of justice and peace:

وَمَا لَكُمْ لاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ

وَٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْوِلْدَانِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ

ٱلظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَٱجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنْكَ وَلِيّاً وَٱجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنْكَ نَصِيراً
“And why should you not fight in the cause of Allah and

of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?

– men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord!

Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors;

and raise for us from you one who will protect;

and raise for us from you one who will help!"

(al-Quran 4:75)

ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ

ٱلطَّاغُوتِ فَقَاتِلُوۤاْ أَوْلِيَاءَ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّ كَيْدَ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفاً
“Those who believe, (they) fight in the cause of Allah;

and those who reject Faith, (they) fight in the cause of

Evil. So, fight against the friends of Shaitan,

feeble indeed is the cunning of Shaitan.”

(al-Quran 4:76)

يٰأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ حَرِّضِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْقِتَالِ إِن يَكُن مِّنكُمْ

عِشْرُونَ صَابِرُونَ يَغْلِبُواْ مِئَتَيْنِ وَإِن يَكُنْ مِّنكُمْ مِّئَةٌ يَغْلِبُوۤاْ

أَلْفاً مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لاَّ يَفْقَهُونَ
“O Prophet! Rouse the Believers to the fight. If there

are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they

will vanquish two hundred; if a hundred, they will

vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers, for these

are a people without understanding.”

(al-Quran 8:65)

I wish you joined me in praying and supplicating the Most Merciful, the Beneficent, with these words:

رَبَّنَا لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ

إِصْراً كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تُحَمِّلْنَا

مَا لاَ طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَٱعْفُ عَنَّا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَآ

أَنتَ مَوْلاَنَا فَٱنْصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَافِرِينَ

(Pray:) "Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or

fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden

like that which You did lay on those before us;

our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we

have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us

forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector;

help us against those who stand against faith."

(al-Quran 2:286)

Ameen, Ya Rabb al-Aalameen!
