Yo dude who are you to judge me? “Only God Can Judge Me”!



The statement “Only God Can Judge Me” is a brand new excuse used by the modernist Muslims. I’m sorry to say that this statement contradicts the true teachings of Islam. A believer would never say that; in fact, it’s used by those who sin unashamedly in public and they are offended when you correct them.

Allah says, “And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.” - (51:55)

What is our duty ya Ikhwan? Our duty is to correct each other from falling short. When I correct you, it doesn't mean that I’m judging you. But some people don’t like being reminded because it goes against their culture/lifestyle. Saying “Only God Can Judge Me” is like saying, “I know I’m guilty but I won’t admit it”.

Remember, by confessing your sins it takes you one step closer to Allah, because it makes you humble and Allah loves humility. But justifying your sins makes you nothing but an arrogant fool.

Here comes a wonderful Hadith 
 For those who say that: Don't judge me, only Allah(swt) can judge me because you don't know my intention.Narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattaab: People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine Inspiration during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (saw) but now there is no longer any more revelation. Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favor the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, for Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us with an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good.

(¤ Sahih Al Bukhari: Volume-3: Book-48:The Book of Witnesses: Hadith-809)

maintaining it, Aameen.

May Allah make it easy for all those who want to get married. Insha'Allah Yaa rubb! Ameen.

TAQLEED THE BLIND FAITH (THE FOUR IMAMS) BY ZAKIR NAIK 

Praise be to Allaah. 

Firstly: 

The followers of the madhhabs are not all the same. Some of them are mujtahids within their madhhab, and some are followers (muqallids) who do not go against their madhhabs in any regard. 

Al-Buwayti, al-Muzani, al-Nawawi and Ibn Hajr were followers of Imam al-Shaafa’i, but they were also mujtahids in their own right and differed with their imam when they had evidence. Similarly Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr was a Maaliki but he differed with Maalik if the correct view was held by someone else. The same may be said of the Hanafi imams such as Abu Yoosuf and Muhammad al-Shaybaani, and the Hanbali imams such as Ibn Qudaamah, Ibn Muflih and others.

The fact that a student studied with a madhhab does not mean that he cannot go beyond it if he finds sound evidence elsewhere; the only one who stubbornly clings to a particular madhhab (regardless of the evidence) is one who lacking in religious commitment and intellect, or he is doing that because of partisan attachment to his madhhab.

The advice of the leading imams is that students should acquire knowledge from where they acquired it, and they should ignore the words of their imams if they go against the hadeeth of the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

Abu Haneefah said: “This is my opinion, but if there comes someone whose opinion is better than mine, then accept that.” Maalik said: “I am only human, I may be right or I may be wrong, so measure my words by the Qur’aan and Sunnah.” Al-Shaafa’i said: “If the hadeeth is saheeh, then ignore my words. If you see well established evidence, then this is my view.” Imam Ahmad said: “Do not follow me blindly, and do not follow Maalik or al-Shaafa’i or al-Thawri blindly. Learn as we have learned.” And he said, “Do not follow men blindly with regard to your religion, for they can never be safe from error.”

No one has the right to follow an imam blindly and never accept anything but his worlds. Rather what he must do is accept that which is in accordance with the truth, whether it is from his imam or anyone else.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:

No one has to blindly follow any particular man in all that he enjoins or forbids or recommends, apart from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Muslims should always refer their questions to the Muslim scholars, following this one sometimes and that one sometimes. If the follower decides to follow the view of an imam with regard to a particular matter which he thinks is better for his religious commitment or is more correct etc, that is permissible according to the majority of Muslim scholars, and neither Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafa’i or Ahmad said that this was forbidden.

Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 23/382.

Shaykh Sulaymaan ibn ‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

Rather what the believer must do, if the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) have reached him and he understands them with regard to any matter, is to act in accordance with them, no matter who he may be disagreeing with. This is what our Lord and our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) have enjoined upon us, and all the scholars are unanimously agreed on that, apart from the ignorant blind followers and the hard-hearted. Such people are not scholars.

Tayseer al-‘Azeez al-Hameed, p. 546

Based on this, there is nothing wrong with a Muslim being a follower of a certain madhhab, but if it becomes clear to him that the truth (concerning a given matter) is different from the view of his madhhab, then he must follow the truth

When, How and Who Changed Bible Books 73 into 66 ?


═╬ When, How and Who Changed Bible Books 73 into 66 ? ═╬

❏ So why does the Catholic Bible have 73 books, while the Protestant Bible has only 66 books? 

⇨ Some protestants believe that the Catholic Church added 7 books to the Bible at the Council of Trent in response to Luther’s Reformation, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

⇨ In about 367 AD, St. Athanasius came up with a list of 73 books for the Bible that he believed to be divinely inspired. This list was finally approved by Pope Damasus I in 382 AD, and was formally approved by the Church Council of Rome in that same year. Later Councils at Hippo (393 AD) and Carthage (397 AD) ratified this list of 73 books. In 405 AD, Pope Innocent I wrote a letter to the Bishop of Toulouse reaffirming this canon of 73 books. In 419 AD, the Council of Carthage reaffirmed this list, which Pope Boniface agreed to. The Council of Trent, in 1546, in response to the Reformation removing 7 books from the canon (canon is a Greek word meaning “standard”), reaffirmed the original St. Athanasius list of 73 books.

❏ So what happened?

⇨ How come the King James Bible only has 66 books? Well, Martin Luther didn’t like 7 books of the Old Testament that disagreed with his personal view of theology, so he threw them out of his bible in the 16th Century. His reasoning was that the Jewish Council of Jamnia in 90 AD didn’t think they were canonical, so he didn’t either. The Jewish Council of Jamnia was a meeting of the remaining Jews from Palestine who survived the Roman persecution of Jerusalem in 70 AD. It seems that the Jews had never settled on an official canon of OT scripture before this. The Sadducees only believed in the first 5 books of the Bible written by Moses (the Pentateuch), while the Pharisees believed in 34 other books of the Old Testament as well. However, there were other Jews around from the Diaspora, or the dispersion of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity, who believed that another 7 books were also divinely inspired. In fact, when Jesus addressed the Diaspora Jews (who spoke Greek) he quoted from the Septuagint version of the scriptures. The Septuagint was a Greek translation by 70 translators of the Hebrew Word. The Septuagint includes the disputed 7 books that Protestants do not recognize as scriptural.

❏ What about |New testament ?

⇨ Initially, Luther wanted to kick out some New Testament Books as well, including James, Hebrews, Jude, and Revelation. He actually said that he wanted to “throw Jimmy into the fire”, and that the book of James was “an epistle of straw.” What is strange is that Luther eventually accepted all 27 books of the New Testament that the Catholic Pope Damasus I had approved of in 382 AD, but didn’t accept his Old Testament list, preferring instead to agree with the Jews of 90 AD. Luther really didn’t care much for Jews, and wrote an encyclical advocating the burning of their synagogues, which seems like a dichotomy.

☛ Why trust them to come up with an accurate canon of scripture when you hate and distrust them so much?

☛ And why trust the Catholic Church which he called “the whore of Babylon” to come up with an accurate New Testament list?

☛ Can you imagine the outrage by non-Catholics today if the Pope started throwing books out of the Bible?

☛ But strangely, Luther gets a pass on doing that exact same thing.

ISLAM SAYS
^^^^^^^^
So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from Allah ," in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn.[2:79

Advice to Our Sisters


It’s Haram Sister! But, we're in love!

Advice for the One Who Said . . .
"OK so, it's Haram! But, I love him!!"

Relationships (boyfriend/girlfriend) are not permitted without marriage in Islam. Many reasons for this include:
1. Full rights of marriage, fidelity, stable home, security, legitimate children & proper family life
2. Give any children born full legitimate family rights, stable home, dual parental care & upbringing, full inheritance
3. Grand parents rights to their legitimate grandchildren, enjoy their families
4. Protect the sanctity of legitimate relationship and bond between spouses, security of intimacy and faithfulness
5. Family involvement to build lasting, secure and ongoing relationship for the entire family on both sides

But most important - it is a COMMANDMENT FROM GOD

This is not a new Commandment. It was given to the people all the way back to ancient prophets, peace be upon them all. The Jews and Christians still have it in several places in their Bible.
Certainly Muslims are aware of the Commandments of Allah in the Quran (read Surah An-Nur, chapter 24, inshallah):

Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous!

But still, we have sisters telling us, "But I love him!"
"WHAT? EVEN THOUGH IT IS HARAM??"
She says, "But still, you don't know how I feel, and Allah knows my heart. I just love him so much and he loves me too".

OK - Here are some facts, dear sister - so listen and listen good.
You think he "loves you"? No. He doesn't love you!
Sister, no matter how much you think he loves you here in this world - he'll hate you a million times more on Judgment Day!
He will hate you more than anyone else on the Day of Judgment!
He will blame you for the relationship and he will ask Allah to throw you into Hell-Fire, instead of him.

You think you "love him"? No. You don't!
You don't love him. You lust (desire) him and want to influence his life and use him for your own desire.

Do you love his "sweet words"? Sister, those "sweet words" are the whispers of the devil himself.

Or maybe you "love the way other girls will be jealous of you"?
Maybe you think he is a "real man" or because he seems "popular"? A real man doesn't take advantage of a girl, ruining her reputation in the community and then moving on to the next "special girl" to "love him".

Or he is "kind to you"?

How kind is it to throw someone's life away? And then let them go to Hell?
A good Muslim girl only loves the man she will accept to marry because of his commitment to Allah. The more he tries to serve Allah and care for his family as a good Muslim man should, then the more a good Muslim girl will love her husband. That is a simple fact.

Does he want to marry you? Really? So why doesn't he talk to your father or wali, instead of talking to his buddies about how he's got this Muslim girlfriend?

What about all those "Promises"? The more he promises, the more disappointed you are going to be later. THAT IS A PROMISE!

REAL LOVE TEST - Try this "True Love Test" on him:
1. Does he care more about you or Allah? Think about that. If he loves you more than Allah, the Creator of the universe, the One giving us life, then where do you think you will fit in his life later on?

2. Does he want good for you in this life? - Halal, faithful marriage? Maintain your virginity? Uphold your reputation? Care for your family & parents?

3. Does he truly love you as his Muslim sister? - Would he let his sister have a "boyfriend"? If he would, then he doesn't care much about his sister, or Islam for that matter. If he would not allow his sister to have a boyfriend, then what does that say about his true feelings toward you?

4. Does he want good for you in the Next Life? - What happens to people who have relationships outside of marriage? Is there punishment for fornication in the Next Life? Would he let you go to Hell so he can have pleasure by using you?

Try this "True Islam Test"

1. Does he want you with him in Jennah, close to our prophet, peace be upon him, in the Next Life?

2. Does he only speak to you in front of your wali (father, brother or guardian) being present?

3. Is he mutaqqeen (truly righteous)? What about you? You said you know it is Haram, but you will do it anyway? Is that righteous?- Read Surah Al Zukhruf, chapter 43, verse 67 Allah Says, "Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous"

If you guys really love each other, then you don't shove each other into the Fire of Hell. You would do whatever it takes to stay out of Hell and help each other in righteousness.
True love? That should be for eternity, not for a few months, weeks, or a couple of nights out.
Halal relationship in Islam? It's permitted. No problem! Right after a simple agreement is fulfilled - it's called MARRIAGE.

Now ask yourself, "Do I love Allah?"
Of course you do. But there are two types of love that cannot come together in the heart of a believer:
1. LOVE of Allah, the Rabbil Alameen, Lord of the Worlds, Maliki Yawmadeen, Master on the Day of Judgment!
2. Love of Haram.

Sisters, wake up! STOP NOW - before it gets worse and you can't stop. You can still get out of this. Leave this HARAM way - NOW!
Leave it for Allah. Turn to Allah and make Tawbah, repent to Allah now!
Allah will grant you much more that what you will give up of this Haram.

But you have to be strong in front of shaytaan, strong against shaytaan's words and shaytaan’s feelings in both of you.

Make the first step - ask Allah, "Guide me, Allah. Forgive me and guide me to what is better for me here and in the Hereafter, ameen."
Cry! You need to. Cry more. You'll feel better.
Tell your parents, you are ready for marriage. And be very serious about going through what it takes to get married (soon) to the right Muslim boy!

Remember, "Never wait for tomorrow to fix what you are doing today! Tomorrow may never come!"

Manners when talking to women



I have heard a ruling regarding the reasons a male Muslims is allowed to speak to a Muslim female and want to know if it is correct. It said that there are only five reasons one may talk to her:
1. to ask how her family
2. for medical purposes
3. for financial purposes (e.g. in a shop)
4. to find out about her personality for marriage suitability
5. to give her dawah (Islamic knowledge).

Is this correct? If it is, please provide the evidence from where the ruling is made (i.e. Daleel).

Praise be to Allaah.

The conditions for speaking to a woman to whom one is not related are mentioned in the following aayaat (interpretation of the meaning):

". . . And when you ask (his wives) for anything you want, ask them from behind a screen; that is purer for your hearts and for their hearts . . ." [al-Ahzaab 33:53]
". . . then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire, but speak in an honourable manner." [al-Ahzaab 33:32]

Ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy on him, said in his Tafseer: "This means that they should not speak softly. Allaah commanded them to speak in a concise and decisive manner (i.e., they should be serious and brief in their speech, and not be vague or talk aimlessly). There should be no possible indication on the face that could be taken to indicate any softness in the heart, as the Arab women (before Islaam) used to do when speaking to men, by making their voices soft like women who are taking care of small children, or like prostitutes. Allaah forbade women to do that.

The phrase "lest he in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire" means lest such a person should hope for immoral deeds, indecency or romance. "Speaking in an honourable manner" means speaking in a way that does not go against Sharee’ah or offend people. Women are encouraged when speaking to men to whom they are not related and to mahrams among their in-laws to be somewhat rough or abrupt in their speech, without raising the voice, because they are commanded to lower their voice.

Speaking with a woman to whom one is not related (i.e., not mahram) should only be for a specific need, such as asking a question, buying or selling, asking about the head of the household, and so on. Such conversations should be brief, with nothing doubtful in either what is said or how it is said.

The idea of limiting speech with women to the five instances mentioned in the question needs to be approached with caution, because they could be taken as examples instead of limits. One must also adhere to the conditions set out by the Sharee’ah even in instances where such conversations are necessary, such as in da’wah, giving fatwas, buying or selling, etc. And Allaah knows best.

Bollywood Khan's are not our models


So many of us watching these 4 idiots films and start imitating their styles. Many of Muslims girls & boys set them as their idols.. but why??? Why we are now so-called Muslims? Do you know these 4 Sanctimonious persons in the name of Musli...m who are denigrating,disgracing Islam, and Ummah. They are supported mostly by the Jewish and Indian lobby in order to turn the minds of the youth of Ummah away from Islam.

Wallahi, I swear by Allah SWT, any1 who watches the Films and support these guys even ideologically, on the day of Resurrection they will be sole responsible for their own deeds. Do we love our Prophet? Do we love Quran? Do we love The companions? Do we know what is Islam? We are Muslims by name, why not Mo'min?

WE like and Love these Diabolic Persons, and we follow their styles. The way the dress and do stuff, on the end of the day we have imitated and do it better than them even, but Have we copied the Sunnah? Have we copied the dress stuff from Islam?

Guys think about it, Death doesn't have time, it comes with no time and all of a sudden. Better to make use of this precious time and work for the sake of Allah, We Muslims are bounded to Love and Hate people for the Sake of Allah and Islam. Unless we don't do this, we can't be complete Muslims. It is clearly quoted in the Quran and Hadiths. You can't be a Good Muslim unless you don't love Your Allah and His Final beloved Messenger Mohammad " Sallallah Allaihi Wasallam".

Being your Muslimh Sister, I only advise you to stop watching films and focus on What Islam says. Stop imitating these bastards, start Imitating the True Muslims and we got a big source of it , is Quran and Sunnah accordingly...
I am sorry if I have hurt someone emotionally, but I dont like it :)
