IF YOU DISOBEY ALLAH Or Turn Away, You'll Be Replaced!

 

Warnings In The Quran:

If You Disobey Allah

Or Turn Away,

You’ll Be Replaced!

(M. Javed Naseem)

Allah the Almighty, the Supreme Creator, created humans to glorify Him, Worship Him, Obey Him, thank Him and live on the planet Earth as per the rules prescribed by Him through the Scriptures. He also made it very clear that Satan (the Devil) was the No.1 enemy of humans. Allah forbade us (humans) to spread corruption in the world. He also warned us of severe punishment (like Hellfire) if we disobeyed Him and spread corruption through our evil deeds.

Now, if we look at the world today, we see only evil and corruption all over. Only a very small minority of people obey Allah and live the righteous life. The Devil rules us because we allow him to do that. If we honestly and sincerely obey the Almighty, the Devil and his friends would be defeated. But this is not happening because of our hypocrisy and dishonesty. The temporary glitter of the fake gold (this world) has mesmerized us. We are chasing the material world at the cost of our Hereafter. And we don’t seem to care about the results.

“Have they not seen how many generations We

destroyed before them which We had established

upon the earth as We have not established you?

And We sent [rain from] the sky upon them in

showers and made rivers flow beneath them;

then We destroyed them for their sins and brought

forth after them a generation of others.”

(al-Quran 6:6)

The Almighty God destroyed many a nation in the past history that rebelled against Him, disobeyed His Commands and promoted evil-living or corruption. We were supposed to learn our lesson from the stories of those earlier nations but we seem not to care. It is obvious that if we don’t care and mend our ways, our fate would be similar to those nations passed before us. The Laws of Allah don’t change and His promise is true. We are just fooling ourselves.

We have abandoned Allah and the teachings of the Prophets and Messengers of Allah do not interest us any more. Our lives are shallow and our characters are dubious. We have become empty shells but we are trying our best to paint those shells with attractive colors like Easter eggs. That fools everybody. We prefer to be cool, hip and mod instead of being righteous and pious. A serious look at the Muslim world tells us that there’s bloodshed, death & destruction, turmoils, social, economic and political problems in every Muslim country. Its leaders are dishonest, corrupt and of shady characters who are ruling people with lies, deception and betrayal. But where those corrupt leaders come from? From the corrupt and dishonest nation! Simple as that! When we leave God, keep Faith out of our daily lives, we become herds of animals and cattle driven only by stronger animals and cattle, even by wolves. There’s one valid excuse though – the Zionist Agenda. But that agenda is more like a means of punishment. The real reason is hypocrisy, ignorance and corruption among Muslims. With practically no faith and no conviction, you can’t go too far on the road to success. Here’s a warning from Allah:

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

“O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns

back from his religion (Islam), Allah will bring a people

whom He will love and they will love Him; humble

towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers,

fighting in the Way of Allah, and never afraid of the

blame of the critics. That is the Grace of Allah which

He bestows on whom He wills. And Allah is All-

Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower.”

(al-Quran 5:54)

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

As believers, we have made covenant with Allah that we will worship only Him, obey Him, seek help from Him and live in this world by the rules prescribed by Him. But most of the time, we break that covenant. We disobey Him, we ignore Him and we disregard all His warnings of punishment. That’s really stubborn and stupid on our part. Allah does not need us but we need Allah in our lives all the times. We simply cannot survive without Him. He is our sole Provider, our Cherisher and Protector in every way, always and forever!

The Bible says:

1. “Jesus replied, ‘Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.'” (John 14:23)

2. “The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John 2:17)

3. “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24)

4. “Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.” (Proverbs 10:17)

5. “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” (James 1:22)

Reading the Bible or the Quran is not good enough unless and until we DO what it says. We need to practice what we learn from the Scriptures. We must live by the Book to avoid punishment of Hellfire. From the teachings of the Scriptures, it is evident that we can succeed in this world only if we obey the commandments of our Lord God. He has promised us that if we do what He commands us to do (stay obedient and loyal to Him), He will bless us and grant us success. And if we remain grateful to Him, He would give us more.

As regular human beings, we cannot thank enough the Almighty Allah for all the bounties and blessings He bestows upon us. We can’t even count His blessings. Unfortunately, we take things for granted and become ungrateful. We enjoy the life in this world but we don’t really appreciate the Almighty One who makes everything possible for us. We love to be boastful and give all the credit to ourselves for success. We forget that without His mercy we cannot achieve anything at all. He is the Most Merciful and kindest to us. But He wants us to share His bounties with fellow human beings and help them whenever they need us. Charity is a virtue. That’s the real spirit of Islam and the true sentiment of a believer! He warns us against withholding and ignoring the poor. He says in the Quran:

“Here you are, those invited to spend in the cause

of Allah, but among you are those who withhold

[out of greed]. And whoever withholds only

withholds [benefit] from himself; and Allah is

the Free of need, while you are the needy. And

if you turn away, He will replace you with another

people; then they will not be the likes of you.”

(al-Quran 47:38)

The above warning in the Quran is a very stern warning that we should not, in any case, ignore. The needy and the poor have a share in our wealth. We are not doing them any favor by helping them. It is their God-given right and our obligation. If we don’t fulfill this obligation, we would be questioned on the Day of Judgment and might get punishment too.We are required to create a welfare society based on social justice and compassion.

Present conditions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Indonesia, Libya, Palestine, Pakistan, Sudan, Syria, Yemen and other Middle Eastern and African Muslim countries seriously invite us to reflect and ponder. We are being punished but most of us don’t want to admit it. Allah’s promise says: “If you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you!”

Now, ask yourselves: “Are we being replaced?”

CELEBRATING NEW YEAR: It's A Start-Line For A New Attempt, Not A Festival.

 

Celebrating New Year:

It’s A Start-Line

For A New Attempt,

Not A Festival

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

Fests are held after the achievements,

not before the start. At the start, you

show your determination, confidence,

honesty and sincerity of effort, with a

prayer to God for success!

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

(M. Javed Naseem)

People love to celebrate New Year eve because they see others doing it year after year. But do they really know what they are doing? What is New Year eve? Is it a festival? No, it is not a festival but is used as an excuse to have fun, do stupid things, get drunk and commit adultery. As a matter of fact, 1^st of January (Gregorian calendar) or 1^st of Moharram (Islamic calendar) is the first day of the year. If you want to celebrate a successful and exceptional year, then you should be celebrating it on 31^st of December or the 30^th/29^th of Dhul Hijjah, at the end of the year, when you can assess and audit the year separating gains from the losses. That makes sense. But the 1^st of the year? You have not even started doing anything – success is another story – on the first day of the year and you are busy celebrating it!

First day of the year marks the start-line of a particular 12-month period of your life, whether business or educational. You can assess the year only at the end of it when you check the balance sheet or the final progress report – success and failures. You are on trial between the first day and the last day of the year, and during this period your performance will definitely fluctuate. 1^st day of the year gives you another head-start, another chance, to do things better than the last year.

On this day, you should be more serious than usual and plan your agenda carefully. You check your programs, blueprints of projects and tools one more time and start with determination, honesty and sincerity. Success will meet you at the end of the road when you would be exhausted doing your best and giving 100%. Only then you are justified to celebrate.

The best thing you can wish for in a year, is the Guidance – all kinds of it. But the best guidance comes from the Almighty, the Supreme Creator and the Greatest Provider. He says in the Quran:

“Those are upon (right) guidance from their

Lord, and it is those who are the successful.”

(al-Quran 2:5)

That kind of guidance can make you successful not only in this material world but also in the Hereafter when only your good deeds, gratefulness and obedience to God would matter. For us humans, no success can be greater than pleasing the Almighty Lord. If we obey Allah’s commands, follow the instructions from the Quran and take care of our fellow human beings, that is the right path which guarantees success in both worlds. Allah tells us in the Quran:

“So give the relative his right, as well as the

needy and the traveler. That is best for those who

desire the countenance of Allah, and it is they

who will be the successful.”

(al-Quran 30:38)

What is Islam? Islam is total surrender and submission to the Will of Allah. That’s a very simple and plain definition of Islam. You need to please your Lord God to be successful in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah, the Almighty, has given us a formula of success in the Quran. He commands us:

“So fear Allah as much as you are able and listen

and obey and spend (in the way of Allah); it is better

for you. And whoever is protected from the greed of

his own soul - it is those who will be the successful.”

(al-Quran 64:16)

Allah commands us further to discharge our obligation of “enjoining good and forbidding evil”. In return, He will grant us success. And when Allah promises us success, there can never be an achievement greater than that.

“And let there be (arising) from you a nation

inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what

is right and forbidding what is wrong, and

those will be the successful.”

(al-Quran 3:104)

If you insist on celebrating the New Year (Islamic or Gregorian), I wish you the best Guidance from the Almighty Cherisher. Take a deep breath and reflect! Ponder for a moment, what’s the purpose of your life in this world? And then check your progress whether you are close or too far from your real goal! May Allah help you and guide you! Amen.

14TH OF AUGUST: A DAY TO RENEW OUR PLEDGE And Rid The Nation Of All Hypocrites & Traitors!

 

14^th of August:

A Day To Renew Our Pledge

And Rid The Nation Of

All Hypocrites (Munafiqeen)

And Traitors!

(M. Javed Naseem)

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

“You have to stand guard over the development

and maintenance of Islamic democracy,

Islamic social justice and the equality

of mankind in your own native soil.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah

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

It has been 73 years now that Pakistan won its independence from the British colonial masters and the majority of Indian Muslims got rid of the racist Hindu terrorism in August 1947. Those Muslims who chose to stay back in India, are constantly suffering apartheid, even barbarianism at the hands of racist, violent Hindu groups. Muslims and other minorities (especially Dalits) are being attacked in all towns/cities of India; their houses burnt; their women raped; men killed and youngsters beaten and imprisoned. Human rights violations are increasing in Kashmir and other parts. Minorities have no rights, nor protection. They are living in fear.

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

“The great majority of us are Muslims. We follow

the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed (may

peace be upon him). We are members of the

brotherhood of Islam in which all are equal in

rights, dignity and self-respect. Consequently,

we have a special and a very deep sense of unity.

But make no mistake! Pakistan is not a theocracy

or anything like it.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah

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

Today, in India, the violence is happening in the name of “cow protection” – as human protection has no priority in the biggest hypocrisy of the world. This cow-fever was spread and fueled by the ruling racist BJP during the last few years. Before this, the label of ‘terrorism’ had been used and Muslims were arrested in big numbers. They are killed by thousands each and every year by the ‘peace-loving’ Hindu junta.

This was going on in India for a hundred years! And that was the main reason for the creation of Pakistan. For years, Muslims tried to cooperate with the racist Hindu majority but in vain. Even the Muslim leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah pleaded for Hindu-Muslim unity to fight the common colonial enemy – the Britain. Jinnah had joined the Congress party as Congress assured him of a just solution to the apartheid problem and equal rights for Muslims. But Congress lied, as usual. For many years, Jinnah worked with Gandhi and Nehru to achieve a respectable and jus solution for Muslims of India but those Hindu leaders were unable to control their mobs. Eventually, Jinnah left the Congress party and later on, it was an RSS Hindu extremist who killed Gandhi because Gandhi preached peace with Muslims.

Jinnah had told his followers that they could no longer live with hate-mongers who did not recognize the rights of Muslims.

“India is not a nation, nor a country. It is a

subcontinent of nationalities. …

“No settlement with the majority is possible

as no Hindu leader speaking with any authority

shows any concern or genuine desire for it.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah

When Muhammad Ali Jinnah was convinced (after years of vain efforts) that racist Hindu, especially the RSS organization, would not leave Muslims in peace, he not only quit Congress party but also changed his mind. He was sure that Hindu-Muslim unity could not work, so he started demanding a new country for Indian Muslims. After a great struggle and a lot of sacrifices, Pakistan was created.

“We should have a State in which we could live

and breathe as free men and which we could

develop according to our own lights and culture

and where principles of Islamic social justice

could find free play.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Then, the second phase of violence was started by the RSS (racist Hindu outfit). They would attack the Muslim caravans, trains, buses, trucks, carts, or anything that was moving in the direction of Pakistan. Their slogan was:

“You want Pakistan? we’ll

give you graveyard!”

And they did give that to many thousands of Indian Muslims who were trying to migrate to the areas now part of Pakistan. That mentality is still alive – very much alive and kicking – today. The politicians, who knew that they have no solution to the problems of Indian masses, no economic program, no development plan, no welfare project, they relied on the “hate plan” and slogans. And that worked. It works every time despite the fact that these politicians are not liked by the masses as they have no integrity; no credibility; they are not trustworthy. So, they cash in on racism and hate.

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

“With faith, discipline and selfless devotion

to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that

you cannot achieve.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah

 ********************************** 

“Come forward as servants of Islam,

organize the people economically, socially,

educationally and politically and I am sure

that you will be a power that will be

accepted by everybody.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Excerpts from the historic speech that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah delivered while addressing the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan, on 11^th  of August, 1947:

“I shall watch with keenness the work of your Research Organization in evolving banking practices compatible with Islamic ideas of social and economic life. The economic system of the West has created almost insoluble problems for humanity and to many of us it appears that only a miracle can save it from disaster that is now facing the world. It has failed to do justice between man and man and to eradicate friction from the international field. On the contrary, it was largely responsible for the two world wars in the last half century. The Western world, in spite of its advantages, of mechanization and industrial efficiency is today in a worse mess than ever before in history. The adoption of Western economic theory and practice will not help us in achieving our goal of creating a happy and contended people. We must work our destiny in our own way and present to the world an economic system based on true Islamic concept of equality of manhood and social justice. We will thereby be fulfilling our mission as Muslims and giving to humanity the message of peace which alone can save it and secure the welfare, happiness and prosperity of mankind.”

“Now, if we want to make this great State of Pakistan happy and prosperous, we should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, and especially of the masses and the poor. If you will work in co-operation, forgetting the past, burying the hatchet, you are bound to succeed. If you change your past and work together in a spirit that every one of you, no matter to what community he belongs, no matter what relations he had with you in the past, no matter what is his color, caste, or creed, is first, second, and last a citizen of this State with equal rights, privileges, and obligations, there will be no end to the progress you will make.”

“Islam expect every Muslim to do this duty,

and if we realize our responsibility, time will

come soon when we shall justify ourselves

worthy of a glorious past.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah

“I shall always be guided by the principles of justice and fair play without any, as is put in the political language, prejudice or ill-will; in other words, partiality or favouritism. My guiding principle will be justice and complete impartiality, and I am sure that with your support and co-operation, I can look forward to Pakistan becoming one of the greatest Nations of the world.”

That was the dream of the Father of the Nation, Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Now, stand in front of the mirror for a minute and ponder! Ask yourself what have you done for Pakistan? What efforts have you made to eradicate corruption in your country and what measures have you taken to make it an Islamic country based on social justice? What have you done to eliminate hypocrisy (Munafiqat) and disloyalty?

It looks like that you have not done much to make it the best country of the world. You want to go to America, Europe and the Middle East to live a good life. And that’s the reason Pakistan today resembles the country of Ghazi Ertughrul of 13^th century Turkey -- full of traitors, hypocrites and for-sale leaders! Allah says in the Quran:

“Or do you think that most of them hear or

reason? They are not except like cattle. Rather,

they are (even) more astray in (their) way.”

(al-Quran 25:44)

“And indeed, your Lord is full of bounty

for the people, but most of them do not

show gratitude.”

(al-Quran 27:73)
