E-Book - The Importance Of Loving Our Parents

Disobedience to ones father is disobedience to Allah Almighty, and displeasure of the father, is displeasure of Allah Qahaar.

If a person keeps his parents pleased, then that is his Jannat (Heaven), and if he displeases them, then this is hell. Until a person does not gain the pleasure of his parents, neither are his Fard or his Nafil actions accepted in actuality.

Such persons will not only be faced with punishment in the hereafter, but they shall face great hardships even in this world. Allah forbid, but for such persons, there fear of not having the opportunity of reciting the Kalima on their deathbed.

The Holy Prophet (pbuh) said, “Obedience to Allah is through Obedience to ones father, and Allah’s displeasure is through the displeasure of one’s father.”

Islamic E-Book : Consequences of Missing Salah (NAMAZ)

Consequences of Missing Salah
Author: Hazrat Allama Mohammed Shakir ‘Ali Noorie
(Ameer- Sunni Dawat e Islami)

Wherever we look in the world today, we see Muslims in a state of uneasiness and restlessness. It is as though peace, tranquillity, satisfaction and success have turned their back on us. We are spending our days and nights like a helpless, orphaned community. And the world sees us a rich morsel of
food that they can crush or destroy as they see fit. We may have assumed a number of reasons for our downfall according to our intellect and intelligence, but the reasons stated in the Holy Qur’an are the truthful and correct reasons. In reality, we are not familiar with our glorious past or the lives of our pious predecessors, nor do we desire to instil their characters in ourselves or spend our days and nights as they spent theirs.

We celebrate their remembrances but we do not emulate their habits in our daily lives. We readily talk about their miracles but we are unaware of their enthusiasm for worship, their piety, and their desire to crush and destroy (worldly) desires. This is why we see in history that as well as being punctual and obedient to the Qur’an and Sunnah, our pious predecessors were the inheritors and rulers of the world. Our state is such that we are sinning on the earth and losing our lands at the
same time.

Let us look at the consequences of forsaking the way of our predecessors in the light of the Qur’an and attempt to familiarise ourselves with their habits so that we may save ourselves from ruination in both worlds.

Islamic Books - Life & History of Hazrat Abu Muhammed Abdul Qadir (Gause Aazam)

A Brief on Life & History of Hazrat Abu Muhammed Abdul Qadir (Gause Aazam)

Hazrat Abu Muhammed Abdul Qadir (Allah’s mercy be on him) was born in Naif district of Jilan in Iran (Persia) on the 1st of Ramzan 470 AH (1077 AD). His father Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani Abu Saleh Moosa Jungi Dost was a saintly man and a direct descendent of Hazarat Imam Hasan Ibne Ali (Allah be pleased with them).

His mother Fatima was the daughter of Abdullah Somaye, a saintly person and a direct descendent of Imam Husain (Allah be pleased with him). Imam Hasan and Imam Husain are the sons of Hazarat Fatima (Allah be pleased with her) and Hazrat Ali (Allah be pleased with him) and grandsons of Prophet Hazrat Muhammed (Blessing of Allah and peace be on him).

Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah’s mercy be on him) was the youngest child of his parents. At the time of his birth his mother was nearly 60 years old. Within a few weeks new spread that the infant refused tosuck milk until sunset, thereby implying that the newly born child was observing fast as it was the holy month of Ramadan. Thus when in the following year the moon could not be sighted due to heavy clouds, the people came next morning for the guidance at the house of Hazrat Moosa Abu Saleh. The people decided to observe Ramadan on the basis,whether Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah’s mercy be on him) had accepted milk or not.

He was very young when his father died. His maternal grandfather Abdullah Somaye showered on him his love and blessings. After sometime his grandfather too died and his old loving mother took care of him.

He received his early education at home where he learned general knowledge, Theology and the Holy Qur’aan from his mother. By the time he was 18 years old he had absorbed most of the religious
education at Jilan and memorized the whole Qur’aan. His thirst for knowledge urged him to go to Baghdad for higher and religious education. His mother, with a heavy heart bid him farewell and entrusted him to the care of Allah and instructed him to always speak the truth. Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah’s mercy be on him) took leave of his mother, fully aware that he may not see her again if he went to Baghdad, and promised to heed her advice.

Joat padti hai teri noor hai chhanta Tera

Teri Sarkaar meiñ laata hai RAZA us ko Shafee
Jo mera Gaus hai aur laadla beta Tera

Islam is against terrorism and violence

What does Islam say about terrorism?

Its very unfortunate today that Terrorism of any sort is always related to Islam and Jihad. A few extereme elements in the clan often misinterprete the teaching of the holy Qurn and present the world all wrong deeds in name of Islam and Jihad.

And due to such elements, Islam stands to often blamed.

But did any one try to understand the teachings of Islam, Its Prophet and the Quran. Who gave you the right to kill in name of Islam? Who are you to kill the innocent people in name of Islam? Are you A MUSLIM? The Answer is NO. You are not a Muslim. You are not a true follower of Islam and its te4chings. If you were a true follower of islam you would not have dared to do such heinious crime.

The Glorious Qur’an says:

And do not kill those souls whom Allaah has prohibited unless [justified by] a due [legal] right {Surah Al-An'am : 6:151}

The Messenger of Allaah said, in an authentic hadeeth reported by imam al-Bukhari,

Whoever kills a non-Muslim who has an agreement with the Muslims then he will not smell the fragrance of Paradise

Our religion of Islaam prohibits transgression and oppression. It prohibits oppression even if this transgression is against someone that we hate. It is still impermissible. We have to be just when dealing with everyone.

Allaah, the Most High, said,

 And do not let the hatred of a people cause you not to be just. Be just, because it is closer to piety 

Some of the verses of Qran below:

"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes, that you should show them kindness and deal justly with them. God loves just dealers." [Noble Quran 60:8]

"Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not begin aggression, for God loves not aggressors." [Noble Quran 2:190]

"If they seek peace, then seek you peace and trust in God for He is the Hearer, the Knower." [Noble Quran 8:61]

" and let not the hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is next to piety; and fear Allah, for Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do." [Noble Quran 5:8]

"But (remember that an attempt at) requiting evil may, too, become an evil: hence whoever pardons (his foe) and makes peace, his reward rests with Allah- for, verily He does not love transgressors." [Noble Quran 42:40]

"The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! He between whom and thee there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a bosom friend. [Noble Quran 41:34]

Some of the Prophet Muhammad's Teachings (Sunnah)

• He prohibited Muslim soldiers from killing women, children and the elderly, or cut a palm tree, and he advised them, "do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child."

• "Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years."

• "The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed." Killing is the second major sin in Islam.]

• "There is a reward for kindness shown to every living animal or human."

• From the above teachings how can you decide Islam is a religions of violence. Those who fight and create loss to humanity have never understood the teachings of Islam and Quran.

Islam is a reliegion of peace and love.

The message of the Quran is clear as we have seen, that the sanctity of any human life is to be respected and any violation in that regard is paramount to the worst crime.  Mercy is at the heart of the Islamic call, “We sent thee (O Muhammad) not save as a mercy for the peoples” (21:107); a totally different message to what the terrorists are sadly imparting to humanity.
