As-salaamun alaykum varh beautiful people!
Am so sorry haven't been out with any new posts in the recent times, have just been busy with one thing or the other, I know the number of hits on my blog's always increase, it wouldn't have been possible without you all, Alhamdulilah.
Lets start with all that's in my mind, as we know Family, Relatives, Friends, Fun are great but sometimes all you need is a quiet corner and the Book of Allah, I bet no other thing on earth gives you the soothing inner peace as much as the conversation with your Lord, Winners keep striving hard and keep the convers getting better and better with your Lord, The ones who hardly touch this Glorious Book, Its a reminder Qur'an wasn't made for the shelf, It was for us! It was for us dear people! Take it, Read it, Convers with your Lord, See how much peace we shall find within, Alhamdulilah, If we still blink out, We are definitely the Losers!
Surat Al-Hujurat (The Chambers) is the 49th Chapter of the Holy Qur'an, This Surat is entirely different, If one gets to read this Surat one can find this chapter filled with laws that deal with social issues. The Surat is a collection of commandments and instructions sent down from Allah swt. Today's need for the Muslim world, To come out as a champ in this world is definitely needed but at the same time we need to hold some intellectuals for a peaceful life in this world and the Aakhirah...
We come across a few backbiters, slanderers, who have two faces, their behaviour is different in front of us and the opposite one behind our back, they backbite behind our back so much that they are unaware of who we are in the public (They take the other persons side and make us strangers, and immediately when the other person leaves they reach us in private with greetings) Astaghfirullah! Allah swt curses these people! They have their lives filled with misery, evil and torment, they suffer in this world and the hereafter! Allah throws away their prayers and their false show off devotion and their faces turn BLACK on the Day of Resurrection, Their good deeds are given away to the innocent soul who has been backbitten! The gravest Sin that is Haraam is BACKBITING!!!
Come on all of us! lets learn something from this beautiful Surat where Allah swt commands His slaves to obey certain laws that are so beneficial in Life:
The sixth verse of the Surat states:
"O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful"
In this Ayath, Allah swt says, O Mankind be sure of what you hear from anyone there, Verify things before we hurt and harm people by being ignorant to them, the one who filled our ears with a story just narrates it and moves off, then who suffers when truth is out? Its we! Its definitely we!
Lest we hear or see something clarify it with the believing slave, it hardly takes sometime to sit and ease situations than to have a long time regret, Remember its not the person alone we end up hurting, Infact we end up having sinned, we have disobeyed Allah swt who knows the right and the wrong for He alone is the All-Hearing and All-Knowing!
The tenth verse of the Surat states:
"The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy."
Muslims today are labelled to as Terrorists, Muslim countries donot support the other Muslim countries, Media plays the role of a Fasiq, gathers all false biased information and spreads false news, Muslims today suffer with this disease to blindly accept this information calling each other Terrorists! This is completely false people, If you donot want to get into this then stay away donot belittle or rebuke each other! This brotherhood and togetherness is losing out in the Muslim world, May Allah swt give us hidayath and ease this situation among His believing slaves, Aameen.
The eleventh verse of the Surat states:
"O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule another people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule other women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by offensive nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after one's faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers."
Aint this true? When people achieve something big or large, no matter how much the richness is, no matter how much of power we possess, no matter how many kingdoms we own, no matter how more of a dynasty rule we have, no matter how much brains we have! Stay humble, Stay calm, Never ever ridicule the ones who are not of that calibre, Nay!!! Donot compare, Donot rebuke, Donot point their weakness, Thank Allah swt for He has chosen us all to live a life of ease, a life of comfort, a life with something that keeps us engaged, a life that we may achieve, be happy and satisfied, Thank Allah swt for the peace and tranquillity, praise our Lord and feel blessed to what He has blessed us with.
The one you slander, rebuke and ridicule must be much better than YOU in the eyes of Allah swt! Who knows what? Do we know what Allah swt knows? No people! No!!! Stop degrading your fellow beings, Donot degrade the women you know, Women, donot underestimate or hurt other women, Donot address them offensively with foul names, We are Muslims, We stand before one Lord, We prostrate before Him and to Him shall we return, Leave these sins now! Nothing is more dearer to Allah swt than a believing heart that is humble and kind! Donot be arrogant, For Arrogance leads you to Hell, Why was shaytan thrown out of Jannah? He did not obey Allah, when Allah swt asked him to prostarte before Adam, He started making fun, And this arrogance led him to the Burning Fire! Donot be his companions in Hell!
The twelth verse of the Surat states:
O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.
If one looks at the starting of this verse as a grammarian, Allah swt clearly states in a commanding action! that suspicion is Haraam for mankind! Astaghfirullah! Muslims are henceforth commanded! People get the word right there, Muslims have been Commanded!!! to exhort from this evil called Suspicion which corrupts ones collective life and spoils mutual relationships.
Narrated Abu Huraira: Prophet (pbuh) said, "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales and donot look for other's faults and donot spy and donot hate each other, and donot desert (cut your relations with) one another. O Allah's slaves, be brothers!" - Sahih Al Bukhari, Vol. 8 Number 717
So why people? why we have to fall into a trap of shaytaan, the word suspicion in itself is a whisper from shaytaan, he whispers into our ears, creates confusion and ultimately he leads man to fight, hate and cut relations, Seek refuge from Shaytaan, Donot believe in whatever you hear, Our Almighty has stated in the Surat Hujurat donot believe in all that you hear and see, get proofs of things and then decide, reacting to situations instantly is the biggest sin you are doing! Man is comitting a sin that is Haraam on him! Our Lord has forbidden us, Let us all be aware dear believing brothers and sisters!
There is hate everywhere! There is jealousy everywhere! Everything leads to backbiting! People we are not supposed to point others faults, lest we point our finger at someone then be aware that Allah will expose our faults! Stay united, Stay brothers is what our Prophet (pbuh) asked his ummah to do.
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: Allah's Messenger (pbuh) mounted the pulpit and called in a loud voice, "You who have accepted Islam with your tongues but whose hearts have not been reached by faith, do not annoy the Muslims, or revile them, or seek out their faults; for he who seeks out the faults of his brother Muslim will have his faults sought out by Allah and he whose faults are sought out by Allah will be exposed by Him, even though he should be in the interior of his house." - Al Tirmidhi Hadith Number 1308
Further in the same verse Allah swt commands his slaves to refrain from the worst of the sins called Backbiting! Its Haraam on us people! Donot be jealous of one another, The major sins are indeed the cause for all the misery, evil and torment in this world and the hereafter! And the worst of all sins are those that are greatest in harm and danger to humanity, Among the majors of sins are backbiting and slandering!
Backbiting and Slandering are the biggest sins that are Haraam on us! They decrease our good deeds and increase the evil ones and lead to dishonour and ignominy! Backbiting is so widespread among people that it has become an issue of people’s meetings and an avenue for expressing their anger, misgivings and jealousy. Those who indulge in backbiting are hiding their own imperfections and harming others. They are oblivious of the fact that they are only harming themselves.
This is because the backbiter if the wrongdoer and his victim is the wronged, on the Day of Resurrection both the wrongdoer and the wronged will stand before Allah Who is the Just Judge and the wronged will appeal to Allah to avenge the wrong done to him, Allah will then give this wronged person from the good deeds of the person who wronged him in accordance with his wrong by backbiting his brother on a Day that no father will give his son any of his good deeds nor a friend to his friend. All will only be saying "My Deeds, Ain't gonna share"
We personally experience this sorts of Haraam sins in our society today, We humans are not angels to be pure and sinless, we are humans offcourse, Allah swt says in the Holy Qur'an "Mankind was created weak" An-Nisa: 28,
We do lots of sins, the small the big, the known the unknown, we do lots of backbiting, slandering, we suspect one another, Nay! people, its time we turn to Allah swt, Ask for Forgiveness, Strive hard not to repeat any of these grave sins.... Ever! Pray before you are prayed upon, Ask for Forgiveness before you are brought into account and left unreturned! Life is once, Its an examination, let us refrain from these Haraam sins of Backbiting, Slandering and Suspicion! InshaAllahu Khayr...
May Allah swt guide us on the siratul-mustaqeem and give us the hidayath to refrain and stay away from these grevious sins, May Allah swt bless us, our spouses, our parents with Jannatul-Firdaus, Aameen Summa Aameen Bi-rehmatika ya'ar-hamarahimeen!
JazakaAllahu Khayr, BarakaAllahu Feekum Wa'BarakaAllahu Feek!
