ISLAM - The True Religion Of God (Allah)

Surah Rahman

Paradise lies at the feet of mother

"Muslim Women are like Diamonds"

O My dear sisters, the Mother of Believers, The daughter of Lions of Ummah, O the Queens of Islam !! 

Know, my dear Muslim sister, that you are man’s sister and half of humanity. You are a mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, grand daughter or grand mother. The Prophet said, what translated means, Women are, indeed, men’s partners. [Abu Dawud]

You are a member of the great nation of Islam, the best nation ever produced for mankind. No other nation on earth has more great men, leaders and conquerors than this nation. It is the nation of guidance and the straight religion, and it leads humanity to righteousness and truth. It transforms people from worshippers of slaves to worshippers of the Lord of slaves, from life’s pressures to the pleasures of the Life after, and from the injustice of other religions to the justice of Islam.

Your ancestors, great women of Islam, were one of the main reasons for this great nation to take this great place among all nations. Allah, Who granted Islam to this nation, made a high place for Muslim women, and decreed that they share in the responsibilities of enjoining truth, forbidding evil and raising the flag of Islam. He said, what translated means,

“The believers, men and women, are loyalists of one another, they enjoin righteousness and forbid evil, they offer their prayers perfectly and give the Zakat, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will leave His Mercy on them. Surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.” [Noble Quran 9:71]

Allah has given Muslim women what they can bare of orders and duties. He is the God Who knows His creation,

“Should He not know what He created? And He is the Most Kind, All-Aware (of everything).” [Noble Quran 67:14]

My dear sister, you are called upon today to truly become an active member of the Muslim nation, strive to establish victory for Allah’s Word, implement the Quran and help build the generation of Iman.

O sisters, Know What Do Your Enemies Want From You?

There are those who want to distract you from doing your duty. They want to distract you from meeting your noble obligation, that is, to defend the religion of Allah and raise His Word high.

Those enemies use many methods:

First: They distract you from what Allah created you to perform of worship, belief and Da’wah (propagating Islam). They use this worldly life as their bate: Jewelry stores, fashions that originate in non-Muslim countries, new models all the time, desires raised, hunger that can never be satisfied, pleasures and competition for them and endless ways for joy. Allah did not create us for this. Indulging in these matters is usually accompanied by wasting time and money and igniting enmity and competition between the rich and the poor.

Second: They ignite enmity between you and man. To those sinners, you are a daughter that is put down, a humiliated mother, an abused wife and an oppressed sister! Men are always unjust, hypocrites, dictators, freedom- preventers and suppressers, according to them. There is a fabricated war that those evil ones are starting for no reason other than to direct you to rebel against your father, be arrogant with your brother and disobedient to your husband. They do not call for justice, mercy and unity. They call for hatred, arrogance and destruction.

Third: They do not stop at their call for rebellion against parents, brothers and husbands, rather, they plot against Islam. They call upon you to rebel against the obligations of Islam and the decrees of the All-Knowing King. Islam, to them, is unjust and Islamic laws are imperfect and restrictive. They call upon you, day and night, to rebel and insist on the disobedience of this religion. They try to rid you of your religion. They try to rid you of comfort and safety under generous parenthood, happy marriage and good brotherly relations.

Those devils portray piety and honor as chains on freedom. To them, Hijab does not cover the head, but also covers the mind; prayer, fasting and Zakat are a waste of time and effort; and obedience to husbands is slavery and a return to the stone age. They distorted all facts and changed all truths, all to serve their evil goals.

My Dear Sister,

The goals that your enemies and the enemies of your religion are seeking to achieve are well known. They want you to be available for them to fulfill their evil desires whenever they wish. They want you to be a mistress that has no honor. They want you to be found everywhere, on roads and in places of sin, without honor, religion or manners. They seek for you only what they want you to do.

The Western world has gone through this all. Women of the West are the part of society that is facing injustice and dishonor. They strive to please men who keep changing partners and seek pleasures but with no responsibility and no consideration of the evil consequences of their sinful actions.

O Muslim sister, read and know about those women who discarded shyness and honor and followed their desires, what was the result of their deeds? Was their end honorable and desirable, or was it a shameful and hated end?

Advice For My Sister In Islam

Be proud of your religion and the religion of your ancestors. Be a good example for your sons and daughters and sincere in your belonging to this mighty nation.

Know that honor is an honor to all wise people, and that adultery is dishonorable to all nations, even if some called it freedom. Know that adultery is also done with the eyes by seeing, with the ears by listening, and with the mouth by kissing, as was mentioned in a Hadith related by Imam Muslim.

Your happiness is in being an obedient and believing daughter, a loyal and generous wife and a pious and merciful mother.

Know that prayer is the cornerstone of Islam. Fasting one day, for the sake of Allah, takes your face seventy years away from Hellfire, as the Hadith, related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim, states.

Charity is a major cause for gaining forgiveness and for repentance to be accepted.

Those women who are showing parts of their bodies to men, will not enter Paradise or smell its fragrance and are cursed, as in the Hadith related by Imam Muslim.

Hijab is an honor and protection for you. Hijab must be modest in color and not exotic, wide and thick and not revealing, different from the dress of non-Muslim women and men.

My Dear Sister,

These are words from the heart. These are words of good and sincere advice.

Beware of the loyalists of Satan who want to lead you astray.

Be a slave of Allah, righteous and descendent of righteous women and know your role in building this great nation.

Perform your duty and do not be a cause for destruction. Be a maker of righteous generation that will lead mankind, again, to what is right and proper, to the great religion of Islam

The Secret

The Law Of Attraction: 

An Islamic Perspective

The notion discussed in Rhonda Byrne’s best-seller The Secret, one of the books that sparked heated debate worldwide since its release over three or four years ago, is quite an old concept that was revived in modern times, capturing the interest and the amazement of simply everybody, proponents and critics alike.

Those who accused the book of being on the athiest side... I tell them, have you ever related to The Law of Attraction in an Islamic way?!

A quote from the book reads “What you think about you bring about”- and indeed it sums up the meaning of the Law of Attraction, referred to by the authors of The Secret as “the most powerful law in the universe”.

Co-authored by a number of specialists in fields varying from life coaching, psychology, quantum physics, finance, Feng Shui (known as The Law of Heaven and Earth), and personal development, The Secret without a doubt offers some inspirational, mind-boggling insights, all revolving around the Law of Attraction, the foundation of which is primarily embedded in the Islamic teachings. But we Muslims know for a fact that the will is the Will of Allah, and the bounties are form Allah; not what is referred to in the Law of Attraction concept as “The Universal Power”.

Massive debate, similar to that stirred by the release of the 91-minute feature film carrying the same title and viewed by millions around the world, erupted following the release of the book. Some rejected the notion of the Law of attraction in its entirety, and thus the book, accusing the idea of promoting atheism, some others were simply overwhelmed by the book that reintroduced the concept and brought it back to light. And I must admit that since I finished reading The Secret and started reading new ones, I still keep it close and dip into it frequently.

But whilst it lists a number of facts about human nature and how our inside thinking affects our daily lives and circumstances, you might feel the idea somehow superstitious and may be freakingly on the atheist side, for it indirectly implies that we are the creators of our destiny- as if we are Gods directing the Universe.

Simply put, the Law of Attraction says that if your thoughts are all negative, focusing only on the upsetting facts in your life, you will continue receiving bad things. If you are only focusing on the good things in your life, then you’re on a frequency that will bring forward more good events. So your thoughts are like a magnet. The idea has received a fair amount of criticism in the wake of the book release, probably because of its flawed assertion of an absolute power hidden in human beings.

However, I admit it is the best book ever written about the Law of Attraction.

According to The Secret “your life is a mirror of your thoughts”, and thus you are the one who is responsible for what happens to you, whether it is good or bad. Although I do not support this concept wholeheartedly and definitely I do not see it as absolute, I find it to a great extent true and sound.

I actually link it to one beautiful Hadith Qudusi wherein Allah says:

“I am as My servant expects Me to be”.

Narrated by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah)

Also in the book, the Law of Attraction suggests that you first need to know what you want to happen to you and Ask for it (step number one in putting the law of attraction into use), Believe that your wish will be fulfilled (step number two), then prepare yourself to Receive what you have wished for and actually visualize that you already got what you want, and it shall come to you; (step number three).

Replacing what the Law of Attraction refers to as the Universal Power with God, you will find what it says quite similar, yet with some differences, to what Allah commands us; i.e. that we supplicate without having any doubts that He shall fulfill our Duas. God commands us to set aside any doubtful feelings when supplicating. In other words, we must be certain and have strong faith that when we supplicate to God to fulfill whatever wish we have, that He is listening and shall fulfill our prayers, for doubt hinders your prayers, and probably that’s the greatest reason our prayers are sometimes not fulfilled.

Another beautiful idea promoted in the Law of Attraction is related to the feeling of gratefulness. In The Secret, the authors encourage you to feel grateful for the good things in your life, and to busy your heart and mind with feeling joyous for the great things you already have instead of feeling resentment for not having other things. By doing so, you’re actually inviting more bounties to befall you.

Isn’t that what God promises us?

“And when your Lord said: If you are grateful I shall increase My favors upon you …”

– Qur’an (14:7)

As you read through the book you will feel fired up and decide to immediately put the concepts discussed into use, mistakenly believing that the authors of the book have offered you some new method or some kind of magic spell.

Actually the secret about this book is that it’s not presenting anything new, what it does is pinpointing mistakes people unconsciously do; best example is returning to God to fulfill a certain wish without being certain He will fulfill such wish. There is so much to life that we miss out on by failing to recognise the great powers strong faith can place in us.

But the book generally could be viewed as a good source for someone who has been busying his mind and heart all of his life resenting, regretting, doubting and hating. It invites us to live our dreams and evoke more ones, fill our hearts with love till it’s no more tolerant of hate. It encourages us to clean up our minds, ridding them off negative thoughts and fears. It includes a number of life-enhancing facts you’ll find yourself tempted to apply once you’ve reached the end of the book.

Read the book and it shall change your heart, your perception of things, and eventually your life- just make sure you read it with strong faith in the Almighty, the only creator of this universe. God has created this universe and has, in all of His three legislations, given us the recipe to success in our lives, the guiding manual to living, but as we live we gradually forsake His advices.

Replace hate with love, resentment with gratefulness, doubt with assertiveness, and you will sense a major shift in your life, this is The Law of Attraction and The Secret to life!!!
