I was watching the lecture of Imam Sulaiman Mulla from South Africa the other day. One of the points what he said was really made me think and realize how we are distancing ourselves from Sunnah and shariah. He said “The man, whom my mom gave birth after/before me, is my brother, because my mom told me that he is my brother. But any Muslim is my brother /sister because ALLAH has told me”.
“Verily, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other).” 021.092 AL-ANBIYA (THE PROPHETS)
In most cases when we talk about shariah rule and Sunnah in Muslim gatherings, it’s unfortunate that we will be considered as outdated and radical Muslims. But the scientists accepts
The other day I was talking to my mother, who had a big trouble with her own brother and they don’t talk to each others for years. So it’s basically against the Sunnah of Rasulullah (saw).So I mentioned her this hadith
Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, said the Muslim is not allowed to disassociate himself from the others for more than three days.
And that brought me lot of trouble at home. But to me, I didn’t feel bad that I hurt her by mentioning the hadith, but rather I felt it’s a jihad for me to try my best to follow the right path, InshaALLAH.
Regrettably, it’s the very truth of Ummah of rasulullah in these days. I had been in the weddings that were held in Friday prayer time and most of the people including the bride-groom didn’t go for the prayer. When I said it’s wrong I was seen as a guy talking wrong thing at the wrong time.
The reason for all these is we are living in a world full of deceptions. People are exploited without their knowledge for money by the media. Children are growing up and learning “Morals” from the television shows and videogames. Our majority of youths are addicted to the football, music and their false heroes. Gays and lesbians are kissing in the public in the name of liberation and democracy.
So I am wondering the following 10 sickness of heart very true. (taken from Source: http://www.jannah.org/articles/shaytan.html)
1. You believe in the existence of Allah (SWT) but you do not fulfill His Commands.
2. You say you love the Prophet Mohammed (SAW) but you do not follow his Sunnah.
3. You read the Holy Qur’an but you do not put it into practice.
4. You enjoy all the benefits from Allah (SWT) but you are not grateful to him.
5. You acknowledge Shaitan as your enemy but you do not go against him.
6. You want to enter Paradise but you do not work for it.
7. You do not want to be thrown into Hell-Fire but you do not try to run away from it.
8. You believe that every living-thing will face death but you do not prepare for it.
9. You gossip and find faults in others but you forget your own faults and habits.
10. You bury the Dead but you do not take a lesson from it.
Jazakallah Khair
