I was created and programmed by Allah this way my dear ? And this will be made clear to Allah on judgement day 

What is the point ? 

If Allah wants me not to believe anything else,he would have created me that way. 

Now he creates me to think whatever I like & then will punish me for doing this .  .  .    I don't get ? 

Its all a test like Sweetnecta mentioned. Remember our logic/knowledge is very minimal compared to Allah's knowledge. We might not grasp the whole matter because we are limited in all aspects. But our Creator is not bound by any limits. This is why we should have Faith in our Creator and Trust the Almighty Allah.

Remember some children when they are young they just hate going to school and studying for the exams. They just cannot understand why in the world their parents won't let them play all the time. At that age it seems to defy logic. But when we grow up we are grateful that our parents did not neglect the importance of our education. It is because of their years of persistence that we now have a degree.

The difference between the Parent and the small kid's logic is huge. So imagine how infinite the difference between our logic and our Creator's logic will be. So it will be difficult for us to completely grasp the reason behind everything, But since He is our Creator we should have Faith in him. Allah knows best.

Why would I be punished by Allah for been created by him (Allah) ?

For not obeying Him. Especially for not accepting His oneness.
Our Creator is extremely superior over us. One should accept his Oneness and Obey his commands. But even if we accept his Oneness we should refrain from disobeying him. But Allah forgives if we repent sincerely out of guilt, out of the love of our Creator. Sometimes even without repentance Allah might forgive because his Mercy is vast. The only thing that Allah does not forgive without repentance is Shirk(associating partners with him). But once one stops it and repents sincerely Allah will forgive, because He looks directly into our hearts and will know if we are sincere or not.

The Creator is so Merciful that He gives sustenance even to the ones who disobey Him. We all die. But we will be resurrected and congregated for Questioning on the Day of Judgment. It is to pass this Judgment that one should strive to obey The Creator.

You can choose your Path. But don't forget one day we all will be Judged, whether you wanna stay in Denial or not, it wont matter coz it won't change the truth.

It is basically simple, Allah will test us with calamities and hardships. Just like you have to write an exam to get a Degree. Its a test. There will be easy question, difficult questions, tricky questions etc. Similarly Life is a big test.

"Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near." (Quran 2:214)


But Help comes from Allah,

"Verily, with hardship there is relief" (Qur'an 94:6)

And the reward is great for the ones who persevere,

"Peace be upon you, because you peresevered in patience! Excellent indeed is the final home!" (Qur'an 13:24)

congoshine:
So why did Allah set up this elaborate soap opera ? 

If Almighty Allah needed people to punish or reward,why this blockbuster film invoving free will,hell,paradise ,72 virgins etc ?  :
And how come Allah is so misunderstod ? Some blow up themselves for him,some shave their pubic hair because he wants it like that.

Yet natural disasters,disease , poverty, NYSC beheadings etc all these horrible things happen to Allah's people?? Is this part of the script?

@jarus
Bro take a look at the complaints thread please.

[size=14pt]Importance of Patience[/size]



Todays topic was Patience. The Imam said we modern Muslims are not experiencing even a part of the Pain and tribulation the Sahaba went through. But still we are impatient.

        The Imam quoted Umar ibn Al Kattab (ra) : (the following is from my recollection forgive me for my mistakes) : If I am experience difficulty and hardship, I am happy for three things-
        1. That the hardship did not fall on my Imaan, instead its on only worldly matters;
        2. Someone else is undergoing even a tougher trail, and I am better off with this smaller difficulty;
        3. If I am patient while this hardship falls on me, Allah will give me its benefit in the Akhirah.


I would also like to add that He mentioned the importance of saying 'Inna lillahi wainnailayhi raajeeoon' (We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return) . He said it is mentioned in the Quran that a true beliver will be patient and say 'Inna lillahi wainnailayhi raajeeoon' when difficulty strikes.

And

Also quoted that when a small child dies Allah will ask the Angels what the parent is doing. Then the Angels will reply that the Parent is saying 'Inna lillahi wainnailayhi raajeeoon'. Then Allah will order the Angels to build a house in Heaven called 'Baytul Hamd' for that parent who showed patience.

Where are the mods? : (

Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Umar reported that the Prophet (SAW) said,
"the supplication that receives the quickest answer is that of an absent person for an absent person."

[Tirmidhi 1987]

SubhanAllah!
I wish I had atleast a small part of his devotion to Allah. We lack such sincerity.

Sayyidina Jabir (RA) reported that Allah’s Messegner (SAW) said, ‘If anyone has three
characteristics, Allah will raise him by His side (in His protection) and admit him to Paradise.
They are: being mild to the weak, being[b] kind to parents[/b] and being kind to slaves.”

[Thirmidhi 2502]

"Don't let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all, it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine most brilliantly."

('Ali ibn Abi Talib [ra])

Weekly reminder:
Do not forget to recite Suratul Dhukhan today, remember we will get the prayer of 70,000 angels.
The following recitation is only 7mins. 7min is a small time considering the fact we will get the prayer of 70,000 angels.
May Allah give us the blessing to do more Ibadah. Ameen.

ode remo:
but strip religion frm us all, we all become human being, isnit?
a guy had an accident down the road, do i ask for his/her religion b4 i help?

I think obeying Allah makes us a better human being.

the Prophet (SAW) has said: “Without doubt, one, who is hard-hearted, is far away from Allah's mercy”
(Abu Dawood).

So it becomes an obligation of every God fearing Muslim to help a person lying on the road who had an accident.

On another occasion Prophet (SAW) said: “One who doesn't love his younger and doesn't respect his elders, is not from us”
(Tirmidhi).

So imagine the importance of humanitarian consideration in Islam. But if you ve come accross a 'supposedly religious person' who causes trouble for others, then his 'religiousness' is in question.

Alla knows best.
May Allah include us of people who are good to others, and be merciful to us. Ameen.

Just think when a person loses a sum of money, he will search hardly to find such amount, but[b] will he exert the same care for any forgotten prophetic sunnah in order to apply it in his daily life??[/b]
The problem today is that we take care of our properties more than the Sunnah, to the degree that if someone promised a sum of money to the one who keeps the Prophet’s Sunnah , you will find people very keen to apply the Sunnah in their life affairs because they are looking for money. But what is the use of money when you are lodged in your grave and the people pour soil on you.
Allah The Almighty said: {But you prefer the worldly life* While the Hereafter is better and more enduring} (Al-A’laa: 16-17).

Assalamualaikum bro.
The above mentioned is exactly the problem with us. We are blinded the money n comfort of the world.

May Allah give us the Toufeeq to follow the Sunnah as much as possible. Ameen.

JazakallahuKhairan,

Here is a link to learn the 99 Name of Allah: http://everybreatheverysecond.com/

We don't even know if he was the mastermind behind the killings. It was the American government that declared him as responsible. I don't trust them completely, well I don't trust any Government for that matter.

Now back to the topic, Allah is so Merciful that he may forgive any Sin except 'Shirk' ( associating partners with Allah). But even 'Shirk' will be forgiven if one repents sincerely and comes to Allah's Path. On the contrary, Even after doing lots of worship if a person does Sins like troubling ones neighbour with his/her tongue Allah may punish the person regardless.

So the bottomline is we do not know what All Usama Bin Laden did. Only Allah the Almighty knows the complete picture, and it is for him to decide. He may or may not Forgive him. He is the ultimate Judge, But remember he is the most Merciful too. And for us to speculate on his Judgment is a bit far-fetched and pointless.

[i]Say: O My servants who have transgressed against their own souls, despair not of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful. ([/i]Surah az-Zumar 39:53)

May Allah save us from the torment of Hell fire. Ameen.
