Awaiting Justice

It Is Forbidden To Hope For Death

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:28:00 +0000

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said, "Let none among you wish for death or supplicate for it to occur before it actually arrives; when one dies, his deeds come to an end. And age does not add to a believer except in goodness." (Ahmad) That it is allowed to ask for death when the trials come to pass is proven by a long Hadeeth related by Mu'aadh (radi allahu 'anhu): "O Allah, I ask You (to guide me to) the doing of good deeds; (I ask You to) forgive me and have mercy on me. And if You wish a trial for a people, then take me to You with death, without me being put to trial. 0 Allah, I ask You (to grant me) Your love, the love of those who love You, and the love of every deed that brings me closer to Your love." (Ahmad) These narrations indicate that there will come a very severe and difficult time upon the people, when the Muslims will not have Jamaa'ah established upon the truth — this is either for the entire earth or some parts of it.

Permission To Withdraw From People...

Permission To Withdraw From People When Trials Become Severe And When Desires Become Deeply Ingrained

In the Hadeeth of Huthaifah (radi allahu 'anhu) when he asked what to do when there is neither Imam nor Jamaa'ah, the Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said, "Withdraw yourself from all of those groups, even if that means for you to bite on to the root of a tree until death overcomes you while you are upon that state." We have also previously mentioned this authentic Hadeeth: "Islam began strange and new, and it will return strange and new." And it is related in another authentic Hadeeth, "The Hour will not arrive upon anyone who says, 'Allah, Allah."' What some of these narrations indicate is that it is permissible to withdraw from people when trials begin to appear. And the following is established in a Hadeeth: "Then if you see miserliness with avarice being obeyed, desires being followed, the opinion of each person being admired by its holder, then upon you is to adhere to your own self, leaving the affairs of the general public."
Abu Sa'eed (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said, "The time is near when the best wealth of a Muslim will be sheep, which he will follow through the peaks of mountains and places of rainfall, in order to save his religion from the trials." (Bukhaaree) At that time, when the said trials arrive, it becomes permissible to ask for death, even though doing so is otherwise forbidden, a ruling that is related in an authentic Hadeeth.

Islam was never sent to compulse Women or to leave them corrupt themselves...!

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 02:23:00 +0000

Islam is a blessing and a mercy to mankind. It has been revealed to us so that we may worship Allah in order to be protected from the evils of this world and know that Allah is one and he exists, to be superior in truth, in the way of righteousness.

When Islam came to this earth it was never meant to oppress any of Allah's servants, whatever Allah mentioned in the Quran along with the prophet Muhammad (salalahu alayhi wa salam) is the correct way of life. I don't understand why some of us like to change it. It is the people that oppress. Nowadays, I hear many Sheikhs along with some people turning the lawful to the unlawful and vice versa. They are saying "Haram" to nearly everything, and some are on the loose that they are saying "Halal" to everything that is wrong ....I like to write how I feel even though you may hate it...but what is it with those Sheikhs and the rulings on women? Why are they pinning women down so much? She is a human being. I never read a hadith about women not allowed to drive, or go outside the house at all (of course with permission)...Definitely back then even Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to work, some women used to do business. There are men everywhere! We are created in pairs, Male and Female! I'm not saying she should go out to expose herself in front of all the men, what I'm saying is that she is a human being, sometimes when there is no Mahram, and if no one wants to marry her , she needs to find her way to support herself and her parents in old age..........I don't understand how they take Islam? In my view Islam is a peaceful religion, Justice is served to everyone, Even to the Animals!

...But then one day I came to realize that we are at a very ignorant time, it seems that everything around us is not right...Nothing seems to have a balance, I'm even finding it hard to maintain a balance because nearly everything influences us and takes us away from the remembrance of Allah, I mean look around us.... But if Allah blesses a person, he blesses him with true knowledge and criterion because he strives to open his heart to truth even though people may dislike it. His only concern is the Akhira not the Dunya.

Narrated 'Abdullah and Abu Musa: The Prophet said, "Near the establishment of the Hour there will be days during which Religious ignorance will spread, knowledge will be taken away (vanish) and there will be much Al-Harj, and Al-Harj means killing."

Narrated 'Abdullah: The Prophet said, "Near the establishment of the Hour, there will be the days of Al-Harj, and the religious knowledge will be taken away (vanish i.e. by the death of Religious scholars) and general ignorance will spread." Abu Musa said, "Al-Harj, in the Ethiopian language, means killing," Ibn Mas'ud added: I heard Allah's Apostle saying; (It will be) from among the most wicked people who will be living at the time when the Hour will be established."
['Afflictions and the End of the World' of Sahih Bukhari.]

The ones who speak for Justice is as if everyone sees them as a people of hell fire...I mean the good sheikhs are in prison right now!!!! =/

Remember, that it is up to us to change things to the better. We are all not perfect human beings, but we can work together if we all stick to one goal. I'm always hoping for the establishment of the khilafah, when all the Muslim countries will come together as one under the name of Allah and his messenger. The time when we will be ruled by Allah's laws and not man made laws. When our flag will be one. The day when the Khalifah will rise, is the day Justice will be established through strife and struggle. Warriors of light walking in the path of righteousness, fighting oppression and bring back Justice to us Muslims. Why should we follow our enemy? We have the right to have our country ruled by Islam and not by Zionists and corrupted Arab leaders. How I wish to see it before my very sad eyes! ...But in order for this to happen, corruption and oppression must be wiped out from this earth, so that means a time must come when everything will be in a bad condition to get better...So yes, wars will increase even more than what it is now.........=/

I know I'm going off topic, but I just wonder why they are so afraid of us of having our own Shariah laws. It is the most Just law that never calls for oppression, wars and crimes...They know that in their hearts, they know that Islam is strong, when it is established, it is firm as a sword in a rock! They know that lots of people are coming towards Islam, and they know the affect of Islam back then, so this is why the enemies of Islam, Zionists try to hide the truth with falsehood, so that they can be superior, they want the life of this earth, they want power, but if you are working evil then nothing is done sincerely , so how are you going to establish anything right?... Even for your selfish selves??

Allah knows better about everything. If I'm wrong, May Allah forgive me!! And May Allah forgive all of us,
Ameen.

Lastly, May Allah ease the trials of the suffering muslims around the world especially the Syrians, may Allah grant them victory over those oppressors, ameen

May Allah grant them the strength to do Jihad in the way of Allah.
Ameen.

My Thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:12:00 +0000

Greetings everyone and Assalamu alaykum (peace be upon you). Well, first I want to show my appreciation and gratitude to all my followers and commentators of this blog before I write a normal dairy type of post. I thank all of you for taking your time to read my posts and commenting on them. That's very sweet of you and I'm more than grateful to have such supporters. Hmm. I have been trying to overcome some of my weaknesses these days, I don't know why it has become so challenging for me and still is. I have so many opinions and views in my mind but I can't seem to explain it or express it, I know why...In our Era of time, passing through this life is not an easy thing. Whoever wants to truly see what's happening around us, will really know why..It seems that the Muslim Ummah is failing with so many things after such mistakes after the fall of the khilafah.. sometimes even I cannot escape from the traps that the society has implanted amongst us...it's as if we are stuck in chains, my dream interpretation was right, we are locked up in chains and we aren't able to let free. My belief in freedom is being a true slave of God by following everything he has sent for us even the country laws must be in the boundaries of righteousness, and so if we follow and enter the religion of truth wholesomely , there will be no oppression in the face of this earth. Last night , I went out during the silent night, I saw two shadows of me, instead of one, being such an optimistic person, I just thought that I have to choose one side of me that should prevail...however, I'm created one soul in one body not two. So there I struggle.. Looking at my neighbor hood, the tall beautiful trees , my house and the sad world, I just thought to myself I always wanted to be successful in my religion, in truth rather than materialism...maybe it's about Balance. To work for your goals in the right way. Since high school, somehow I always felt that something was not right for me, something is missing, I can still feel the darkness around us, there is something wrong.. I always wanted to live a life of righteousness, but that's the main problem. It is our inability to step out of the darkest Era of time to make a righteous way of life. Not everything that we see is the correct way of life. There are hidden mysteries behind our darkest times, but it seems that not many of us see it. Is it because we have no escape? We know that there is a cure for everything. Living a life of a believer is more than just caring about ourselves. How can any leader sleep when he knows that there are people living miserably from starvation and oppression? Every time I turn my head North, east, west and south, I feel like there is a trap , don't you feel that way ? Mankind never used to be that chained up.

Well, I really can't explain this further...because maybe it'll take a very long essay...I hope you get my main point. What I want to say, if we Muslims want to fix ourselves we must stop oppression by accepting the Khilafah and shariah in the right way, abandoning secularism to bring us all together as one people, but not every person wants this... they think that every sect they abide to will make them successful in terms of superiority..."Shut your traps and make way!" ... I wish the world was one country! So yeah, we need a strong man to sacrifice himself for God, truth and justice (what a man!), a wise one who understands his deen very well, who follows the ways of the prophet, who knows how to spread kindness, love and compassion ...aren't we all fed up of violence?

My heart always longs for the Khilafah. This life is short and it's nothing compared to the hereafter, but truth must prevail, we must show the others that oppression is not the path of Justice, we have to fight oppression, and be warriors so that we can establish GOD'S LAWS. Call us Jihadists, terrorists, Islamists, we are proud of being warriors. First of all not all Muslims are pious, some are evil too, so why can't they stop associating one bad man to all of us? I'm not going to lie, we poor Muslims, men and women are always being picked on, we are the most ones who always have the problems. It's enough that I'm the target when I walk around with my veil! I do watch the news...We are fed up of being hated and one day we will show how Islam can be!..

...But it seems in our time, there are so many traps, we are unable to move...do we have to be patient for the right time to come?

"There will come a time of patience when the one who adheres steadfastly to his religion will be like one who holds a burning coal." [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi 2260, classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in 'al-Silsilah al-Saheehah' - 957]

In anyway, Excuse me for my bad writing...
Allah knows better.

Division within the Nations

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 20:46:00 +0000

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) Informed Us That Trials Will Divide The Nation And Safety Will Be In Adhering To The Jamaa'ah (Those Who Are Upon The Way Of The Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) And His Companions)

'Aouf ibn Maalik (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said,"The Jews divided into 71 sects: one is in Paradise and 70 are in the Hellfire. The Christians divided into 72 sects: one is in Paradise and 71 are in the Hellfire. And by the One Who has my soul in His Hand, this nation of mine will be divided into 73 sects: one is in Paradise and 72 are in the Hellfire." It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who do you see they (i.e., the members of the saved group) are?" He said, "Al-Jamaa'ah (those who are upon the way of the Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) and his Companions)." (Ibn Maajah)

::So, let's beware of secularism. There's no need to put ourselves in separate categories when we are supposed to be one Muslim Ummah. It's a shame that we see so many right now.::

Allah Knows Better.

Chapter 2: The Trials in General: Rotation of Good and Evil and Islam will return strange and new...

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 23:29:00 +0000

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

Insha'Allah. Now we come to the next chapter of the book which talks about the trials of the end times. Remember, It's not only about reading it, it's about taking heed of it...because no doubt we are seeing this happening around us...

1. The Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) Informed Us About The Rotation Of Good And Evil

Abu Idrees Al-Khoolaanee related that he heard Hudhaifah ibn Al- Yamaan say, "The people would ask the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) about good and I used to ask him about evil, fearing that it would reach me." So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, indeed we used to be in ignorance and evil, and then Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) gave us this good. And after this good will there be evil?' He A said, 'Yes.' 'And after that evil will there be good?' I asked. 'Yes, but that (good) will have shortcomings and defects' I asked, 'And what are its shortcomings and defects?' He A said, 'A people who will be guided by other than my way; some of their deeds you will find laudable and others you will repudiate.' I asked, 'And after that good will there be evil?' He (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said, 'Yes, callers upon the doors of the Hell fire; whoever
answers them their call, will be thrown by them in it.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, describe them for us.' He (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said, 'They are from our people and they speak our tongue.' I asked, 'And what do you order me to do if that reaches me?' He A said, 'Adhere to the Jamaa'ah of the Muslims and to their Imam.' I said, 'And if they have neither Imam nor Jamaa'ah?' He A said, 'Withdraw yourself from all of those groups, even if that means for you to bite on to the root of a tree until death overcomes you while you are upon that state. — (Bukhaaree)

2. Islam Will Return Strange And New As It Had Begun

'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ood reported that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam)said, "Indeed Islam began new and strange and it shall return as it began - new and strange. So glad tidings to the strangers." (Muslim) It was asked, "And who are the strangers?" He (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam),aid, "Those who
are far away from the tribes." (Ibn Maajah)

Please Join their Facebook Page. May Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) ease the trials of the suffering Muslims especially the Syrians, ameen. May Allah grant them victory over those oppressors, ameen! It's been a very long time that they have suffered, yet most of us, I blame myself too, are just sitting down watching them dieing, children , women. Where is all the money from the 'charity' organisations going? They are not even helping. We muslims must do something as one people. SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah). Allah's plan is better...I hope that one day their will be pious warriors rising up like lions to bring back Justice to the world. Why can't we start now?

The Nearness Of The Hour

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 20:02:00 +0000

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

It is related in a narration, "(So near is it at hand) that it has almost preceded me." This indicates its proximity in relation to the time that has gone by in this world. Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) says:

"Draws near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness." [Qur'an 21:1]

"The Event (the Hour or the punishment of disbelievers and polytheists or the Islamic laws or commandments), ordained by Allah will come to pass, so seek not to hasten it. Glorified and Exalted is He above all that they associate as partners with Him."[Qur'an 16:1]

"Those who believe not therein seek to hasten it, while those who believe are fearful of it, and know that it is the very truth. Verily, those who dispute concerning the Hour are certainly in error far away." [Qur'an 42:18]

Insulting the Prophet Muhammad (salalahu alayhi wa salam)

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 16:01:00 +0000

They've always decided to do something against the Muslims at the 11th of September. Is it a plan? But how do we react towards this? In my opinion, I think all this is a plan from the Zionists, so that we may rise up once again with anger and rage, protesting violently, destroying the streets. And as they see us doing all that, yeah, they will say "Mission Completed." Now, "We shall call them terrorists." We are the target of all this. They want us to rise up, so that the Zionists can start the next step of their plan which is waging wars because "they are only defending themselves from the terrorists." They clearly want to wage wars against us. We are surrounding them, they plan to rule the world, no doubt.

What I'm really disappointed with, is us as Muslims. We are not following the Prophet Muhammad (salalahu alayhi wa salam), we are sure that he was insulted so many times before, just like the other prophets were insulted badly by their own people, this is mentioned in the Quran. Now don't tell me they didn't insult the Christians too? Once, they made a film about Jesus in a bad way. Muslims also got offended, because we believe in Jesus as a prophet. Well then, back to my topic, Prophet Muhammad would be more wiser, he would only fight back when they would fight. Don't we see that the Zionists want us to be angry? Then why are we acting like this? We don't need to show them that we are angry, we need to be more wiser, and show them that "What you just done, does not harm Allah and his messenger, God is truly greater than us all, he has the power to do anything, he is the omnipotent, God is not in need of anyone, and his plan's are better than yours, you plan years and years, and God plans in any second or any time. So, go according to your plans, and see who will prosper at the end!!" If they start wars against us, well that's a different case, it is time for us to fight back too and defend God and his messenger, we are people who have the rights to live in the lands that God has created just like he has created for every human being in this world. So, we are not going to be fools and sit there doing nothing because that means we are weak. If God made the message superior to all man made philosophies then we must prove to be warriors of light. It shall happen one day, Victory lies ahead of us. It's a shame how we are all selfish, and we all think that we are superior than the others. Sects and groups all with different views and minds, this is why we wage wars, we are not all the same people. But God created it to be that way, "to test which one of us are best in conduct." We as Muslims are absolutely not one people anymore. The thing is the Quran is one book just like other books that God has sent down to his people, God is one, and the message is one, so why aren't we one people?

Our bonds are broken. We are not strong like we used to be, it is a prophecy. A time to come when every person will break his word, be untrustworthy, killings would increase, corruption would occur in every face of this filthy earth. We have made the earth dark. It is black from sin. Who will be the light ?

Insulting the Prophet will not do you any good but harm yourselves. Nor will your violent actions do you any good but corruption and destruction. My opinions are not the best. I may be wrong. We all have the right to have our opinions, surely they make us hate them, but we must be more wiser. We need wiser men. We don't need rubbish politicians and meeting councils and all that which never benefited anything but "save the Zionists." We shouldn't believe in their laws, their laws were always unjust. Don't you see ? Why is there so many poor ? The law that is more Just is what God has sent us, because he knows us better than we know our own selves, so of course God's laws are the best and superior of all laws. But most of us don't understand this, so the world will never be Just and in peace, unless you all submit to God's law, so don't blame your enemies, blame yourselves for not following God's law from the beginning, a big mistake indeed.. If you refuse and still decide to follow the "man-made laws." Then don't rise up and complain "why isn't everything working out for us Muslims?"...See for yourselves. God is testing you, and this corruption is created from the hands of men! Will you then submit to God entirely?

God knows better.
I know Nothing.

In such a world...

Ch.1 End of time part 14: unseen future, Events past and future

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 02:28:00 +0000

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

Narrations From The Prophet That Speak About The Unseen Future

In a narration related by 'Ilyaan ibn Ahmad Al-Bakree, Abu Zaid AI-Ansaaree (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) led us in the morning prayer, after which he climbed the pulpit and addressed us until Zhuhr. He descended, prayed 'Asr, and then climbed the pulpit again, speaking to us until the setting of the sun. He spoke to us about what was and what will be; he informed us (thereof) and made us memorize (that information)." (Ahmad)

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Gave News About Events From The Past And The Future, Covering The Span Of Time Until The Coming Of The Hour (i.e. The End Of This World)

'Umar ibn Al-Khattaab (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "Once, the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) stood before us and informed us about the beginning of the creation (and he spoke of what will occur) until the inhabitants of Paradise enter their final abodes and the people of the Hellfire enter their final abodes. Some memorized (that information) while others have forgotten it." (Bukhaaree) Bukhaaree narrated this Hadeeth as an attachment and not as a part of his compilation, using phrases indicating that he was not sure about the chain. Hudhaifah (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "The Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) once rose, standing before us. He mentioned everything that was to occur from the time he stood there until the time of the Hour. Some memorized it while others forgot it...and something will happen (from what the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) mentioned) and I will recall it as a man recalls the face of another man who was absent for while; then when he sees that face again, he recognizes it."

Hudhaifah (radi allahu 'anhu) Witnessed Some Of The Events That The Messenger Of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Prophesized About.

Abu Nusrah related that Abu Sa'eed (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "One day, after the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) led us in the 'Asr prayer, he stood and addressed us until the sun set. He spoke of everything that was to occur until the Day of Resurrection; some memorized his words while others forgot them. Among the things he said was, 'O people, indeed this world is green (i.e., it has in it beauty, greenery, etc.) and sweet, and indeed Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) has made you to dwell herein for succeeding generations, and He ( is seeing how you act. So take your precaution from this world and take your precaution from women.' He later on said, 'The time is indeed near when the sun will set. What remains of this world when compared to what is past is like what remains of this day of yours compared to the part of it that is gone.' " (Ahmad) 'Alee ibn Zaid ibn Hadjaan, one of the narrators of this Hadeeth, has strange and Munkar narrations; nonetheless, this Hadeeth is supported by similar narrations. At any rate, no one knows exactly when this world will come to an end except for Allah (subhana wa ta'ala).

Ch.1 End of Time Part 13: Fire in the Land of Hijaz

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 01:49:00 +0000

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Narration That Speaks About A Fire In The Land Of Hijaaz Which Will Illuminate Camels in Busrah, in the Land of Sham

Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "The Hour will not arrive until there appears a fire from the land of Hijaaz that will illuminate the necks of camels in Busra (Busra is in the land of Sham: Syria and surrounding regions)." (Bukhaaree) And Muslim related it through ibn Shihaab.

The Appearance Of A Fire In Madeenah That Continued To Rage For An Entire Month In The Year 654 H

Shaikh Shihaabud-Deen Abu Shaamah, Shaikh of the Hadeeth scholars and historians during his era, mentioned that on Friday, the 5th of Jumaadah Al-Aakhirah, 654 H, there appeared a fire in lands near Madeenah An-Nabawiyyah, in some of its surrounding valleys. It extended for four leagues lengthwise and four miles widthwise. Rocks would pour out until they remained like lead or molten tin, and then they became like black coals. By dint of the fire's light, people were able to travel to Teemaa. The fire remained ablaze for an entire month. The inhabitants of Madeenah related this incident and some among them composed verses of poetry about it. Qaadee Al-Qudaat, Sadrud-Deen 'Alee ibn Al-Qaasim Al-Hanafee, said that a Bedouin once told his father that on that night (i.e. the night of the fire), he was in Busrah and that the people there saw the necks of camels from the light of that fire, which was ablaze in the land of Hijaaz. Allah knows best.

End of Time Part 12: The Best Generation Is the Generation of the Messenger (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam)

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:19:00 +0000

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Best Generation Is the Generation of the Messenger (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Then Those Who Came Next, Then Those Who Came Next, and Thereafter Corruption Will Spread

'Imraan ibn Husain (radi allahu 'anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said,"The best of my nation are those of this generation, then those that followed them." 'Imraan (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "I do not know whether he mentioned two generations after his generation or three." The Hadeeth continues, "Then there will come after you a people who will give their testimony without being asked (scholars have said that this is referring to a person who gives testimony without being asked to give it on behalf of another who has knowledge of the fact that he is a witness; other scholars say that this is referring to one who puts himself forward as a witness but is not worthy of giving testimony), who will be treacherous and cannot be trusted, and who will make a binding oath (Nadhr) to do something but then will not honor that oath; and fatness will become prevalent among them." (Bukhaaree and Muslim, and this wording is that of Bukhaaree)

The Khaleefahs Of The Quraish Referred To In The Hadeeth Are Not The Twelve Leaders Who Followed In Sequence After The Prophet's Death

The twelve leaders of the Muslims who followed one another after the death of the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) among whom were the leaders of Banu Umayyah - are not the twelve Khaleefahs that are referred to in the above-mentioned Hadeeth. In the Hadeeth of Safeenah, the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "The caliphate after me will be for thirty years." He (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) also said that kingdoms would follow that period, which means that the rulers of Banu Umayyah cannot be considered to be from the twelve Khaleefahs of the Quraish. Nonetheless, among those twelve Imams are Abu Bala (radi allahu 'anhu), 'Umar 'Uthmaan (radi allahu 'anhu), 'Alee (radi allahu 'anhu), and his son, Al-Hasan ibn 'Alee (radi allahu 'anhu). The majority of scholars maintain that 'Umar Ibn 'Abdul-'Azeez is also one of the aforesaid twelve Khaleefahs - and all praise is for Allah. Among them were also some from Banu Al-'Abbaas. The rest of them will come in the future, one of them being the Mahdee that is spoken of in some Ahaadeeth. We seek help from Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) and we wholly depend upon Him.

End of Time Part 10: Twelve Khaleefahs From The Quraish Who Rule Over The Muslim Nation.

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 01:20:00 +0000

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Informed Us Of Twelve Khaleefahs From The Quraish Who Rule Over The Muslim Nation.

Jaabir ibn Samarah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "There will be twelve Khaleefahs who will all be from the Quraish." (Bukhaaree and Muslim) In another narration, Jaabir ibn Samarah (radi allahu 'anhu) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) say, "The affair of this nation will continue to remain upright and it will continue to be victorious over its enemy until it goes through twelve Khaleefahs, all of whom are from the Quraish." The Companions asked, "Then what will happen?" He (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "Then there will be Faraj (holes and gaps through which seep factors that lead to division and weakness in the ranks and in souls)." (Abu Daawood)

The twelve referred to in the Hadeeth are not the same twelve that the Raafidah falsely consider to be infallible Imams. Most of the twelve they mention never even had any position of authority over the Muslims, not even over a region or territory of Muslim land. Among the twelve Imams that the Raafidhah mention, only 'Alee (radi allahu 'anhu) and his son Al-Hasan ibn 'Alee (radi allahu 'anhu) ruled over the Muslims.

End of Time Part 9: The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Intimated That Some Children Would Take Positions Of Authority Over The Muslims, And He Pointed Out That That will Lead To Evil And Corruption

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Fri, 25 May 2012 18:33:00 +0000

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Intimated That Some Children Would Take Positions Of Authority Over The Muslims, And He Pointed Out That That will Lead To Evil And Corruption

Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that he heard the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) say, "The ruin of my nation will be at the hands of children (or young men)." (Ahmad) Marwaan (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "I used to go with my father to Banee Marwaan after they were made to rule; they would pledge allegiance to young boys and some who were pledged allegiance to were still in their safety rope (something specific to children to keep them from straying). I said, 'Perhaps these companions of yours are those about whom Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) said: Indeed, these kings resemble one another."' Other prophesies are in the Hadeeth we mentioned about the "Liar" and the "Destroyer" from Thaqeef; the "Liar" was Mukhtaar ibn Abee rUbaid, who appeared in Koofah during the days of 'Abdullah ibn Az-Zubair s. And the "Destroyer" was Al-Hajjaaj ibn Yousuf Ath-Thaqafee, the one who killed 'Abdullah ibn Az-Zubair (radi allahu 'anhu). In another Hadeeth the Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) prophesized the black flags, which Banu Al-'Abbaas came with when they wrenched control of the Muslim Nation from the hands of Banu Umayyah. This occurred in the year 302 H. The last ruler of Banu Umayyah was Mirwaan ibn Muhammad ibn Mirwaan ibn Al-Hakam ibn Abul-'Aas, known as Mirwaan Al-Himaar (literally, meaning donkey; he was called this because he would sweat profusely as he tirelessly fought those who opposed his rule) and Mirwaan Al-Ja'dee (his teacher was Ja'ad ibn Dirham Al-Mo'tazilee). Abu Al-'Abbaas 'Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn 'Alee ibn 'Abdullah ibn Al-'Abbaas ibn 'Abdul-Muttallib was the first ruler of Banu Al-'Abbaas. Abu 'Ubaidah ibn Al-Jarraah (radi allahu 'anhu) and Mu'aadh ibn Jabal (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "Indeed Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) has commenced this matter upon Prophethood and mercy; it will become Khilaafah and mercy; it will become honor and sanctity; it will become kingdoms, great oppression, and corruption in the nation - people will deem (unlawful) private parts, alcohol, and silk to be lawful. They will be supported upon that and they will be given provision continuously until they meet Allah 'Azza Wa fall (to Him belongs Might and Majesty)." (Abu Daawood)

Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "The Prophets will be followed by the Khaleefahs, who will apply Allah's Book and who will be just with Allah's slaves. The Khaleefahs will be followed by kings, who will take their revenge, kill men, and choose wealth (for themselves). (At that time) one can change (evil) with his hand, with his tongue, and with his heart; and there is no Eemaan beyond that." (Al-Baihagee) Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) also reported that the Prophet said, "The Children of Israel were led by Prophets (Peace be upon them) each time a Prophet died, he was replaced by a Prophet. And there is no Prophet after me, though there will be many Khaleefahs." The Companions asked,"And what do you command us to do, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Honor the earliest pledges of allegiance and give them (i.e.the rulers) their rights. For indeed, Allah will ask them about what He made them rule over." (Bukhaaree)

'Abdullah ibn Mas'ood (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "There was no Prophet who did not have companions who were his supporters - who were guided by his guidance and who followed his way (Sunnah). After them come ensuing generations, who say that which they do not do and who do that which they forbid." (Muslim)

End of Time Part 8: The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Said That The Muslims Would Fight The Turks

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Fri, 25 May 2012 18:18:00 +0000

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Said That The Muslims Would Fight The Turks

Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "The Hour will not arrive until you will fight a people whose shoes are made of (braided) hair and until you fight the Turks, who have small eyes, red faces, small and turned up noses, and who have faces that are like the shield (of a combatant)... People are minerals (this means that their roots, backgrounds, and lineages differ). The best of them in (the days of) ignorance is the best of them in Islam. And there will come upon you a time wherein for one of you to see me is more beloved to him than to be given more family and wealth - (than to be given) double what he already has." (Bukhaaree)

Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) also related that the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "The Hour will not arrive until you fight Khoor and Kirmaan, (two) foreign peoples, whose faces are red, whose noses are wide and flat, whose faces are like shields, and whose shoes are (braided) hair." (Bukhaaree)
'Amr ibn Tha'lab (radi allahu 'anhu) related that he heard the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) say, "From the signs of the Hour is for you to fight a people whose faces are wide, as if their faces are shields (of combatants)." (Ahmad)

Bukhaaree related it as well from Jareer Ibn Haazim. The Companions fought and defeated the Turks; they gained spoils of war and they took women and children as captives.Here, it is literally indicated that this Hadeeth is a sign of the coming of the Hour (i.e. The Day of Judgment). If the "Signs of the Hour" refers to events that take place shortly before the Hour, then the event referred to in the Hadeeth - i.e. a major battle between the Muslims and the Turks - can take place again. But if "Signs of the Hour" refers to a more general meaning, then an event at any time, and not just events that take place shortly before the Hour, can be from the Signs of the Hour, even if a given event occurs much before the Hour. But still, the event must take place after the time of the Prophet for it to be considered one of the Signs of the Hour. After having reflected on all of the Ahaadeeth that are related about this topic, we feel that the latter of the two possibilities appears to be correct - and you will see this presently In-sha-Allah.

Allah knows Better if it happened or it's going to happen sooner.

End of Time Part 7: The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Indicated That The Muslim Army Would Reach India And Sindh

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Wed, 23 May 2012 00:18:00 +0000

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Indicated That The Muslim Army Would Reach India And Sindh

Al-Hasan related that Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "My Khaleel and the truthful one, The Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) , said, 'From this Nation there will be an expedition to Sindh and India.' If I reach that time and if I become martyred, then that is fine; and if I return, then I am Abu Hurairah the saved: He will have freed me from the Fire." (Ahmad) And in another narration Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "The Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) , promised the invasion of India. If I become martyred, I will be from the best of the martyred; and if I return, I am Abu Hurairah, the saved." (Ahmad) An-Nasaaee related it as well from Sayaar ibn Jaabir, who heard it being imputed to Abu Hurairah (radi allahu 'anhu). The Muslims attacked India in the year 44 H, during the rule of Mu'aawiyah ibn Abee Sufyaan (radi allahu 'anhu). And King As-Sa'eed Al-Mahmood ibn Shinkinkeer of Ghuznah attacked it and surrounding territories in the year 400 H. He performed many valiant acts while he was there; for example, he destroyed the greatest idol in that land, an idol called Soomanaat; As-Sa'eed took the bracelets and swords hanging on the idol and returned safely and profitably to his homeland. At an earlier time, armies under Banee Umayyah fought the Turks (when Turks are mentioned in this book, the Tatars and their descendants are being referred to) at the extreme borders of Sindh and China. There, they subjugated King Al-Qaal Al-'Aazam after having destroyed his army and appropriated his wealth. In some Ahaadeeth, a description of those Turks is given, which we will now briefly discuss.

End of Time Part 6 ~ Umm Haraam Bint Milhaan (RadiAllahu 'Anha) Died In A Naval War

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Sun, 20 May 2012 17:41:00 +0000

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Messenger Of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Informed Umm Haraam Bint

Milhaan (RadiAllahu 'Anha) That She Would Die In A Naval War

Umm Haraam bint Milhaan (RadiAllahu 'Anha) related that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) mentioned that his battles in the sea would be of two groups and that Umm Haraam would be from the first group. (Bukhaaree and Muslim) That occurred in the year 27 H, when Mu'aawiyah (radi allahu 'anhu) asked 'Uthmaan s permission to attack Qubrus. He gave his permission and so the Muslims traveled by ships until they conquered it by force. In that battle, Umm Haraam died at sea; she was accompanying the army with Mu'aawiyah's wife and her sister, Bint Qurzah. The second naval battle referred to in the Hadeeth took place in the year 52 H, during the rule of Mu'aawiyah (radi allahu 'anhu) Mu'aawiyah (radi allahu 'anhu) sent his son, Yazeed, to lead the Muslim army in an attack on Constantinople. Many eminent Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) accompanied Yazeed's army - among them were Abu Ayyoob Al-Ansaaree (radi allahu 'anhu) and Khaalid ibn Yazeed (radi allahu 'anhu) Khaalid (radi allahu 'anhu) died there and requested Yazeed ibn Mu'aawiyah to bury him as close as he could to the territory of the enemy. When the time came, Yazeed fulfilled that request. Umm Haraam related that she heard the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) say, "As for the first army from my nation that will attack by sea, it has become binding (i.e., binding that they enter Paradise)." Umm Haraam asked, "O Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) am I one of them?" He said, "Indeed you are one of them." The Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) continued, "The (members of) the first army from my nation to attack the city of Caesar are forgiven." Umm Haraam asked, "Am I one of them, O Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) ?" Hem said, "No." (Bukhaaree)

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Gave Tidings Of Al-Hasan (radi allahu 'anhu) Making Peace Between Two Huge Groups Of Muslims

Abu Bakrah (radi allahu 'anhu) related that he heard the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) say while Al-Hasan ibn 'Alee (radi allahu 'anhu) was beside him on the pulpit, "This son of mine is a leader, and through him, Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) will bring together two huge groups of Muslims." (Bukhaaree) And of course, that is what happened.

End of Time No.4: The Period Of The Caliphate Was To Last For Thirty Years

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Fri, 18 May 2012 20:32:00 +0000

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Specified That The Period Of The Caliphate Was To Last For Thirty Years After His Death And Then The Era Of Kingdoms Would Begin

Safeenah (radi allahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "The Khilaafah (caliphate) after me will last for thirty years; then there will be kingdom(s)." (Ahmad, Abu Daawood, An-Nisaaee, and At-Tirmidhee, who ruled it to be Hasan)

Those thirty years consisted of the caliphates of Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq (radi allahu anhu) 'Umar Al-Faarooq (radi allahu anhu) 'Uthmaan Ash-Shaheed (radi allahu anhu) and 'Alee ibn Abee Taalib Ash-Shaheed (radi allahu anhu) the full thirty years came to an exact end with the end of Al-Hasan's caliphate, which lasted for six months. As soon as those thirty years ended, which was in the year 40 H, Al-Hasan (radi allahu anhu) stepped down, allowing Mu'aawiyah ibn Abee Sufyaan (radi allahu anhu) to take his place, and the people pledged allegiance to him. That year was called the Year of the Gathering (because the people came together after having been divided). In an earlier section, we have already discussed this matter in detail.

End of Time No.3 : The Murders of the Muslim Leaders

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Fri, 18 May 2012 20:17:00 +0000

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Prophesized 'Umar's Murder

Shafeeq Ibn Salamah reported that Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "As we were seated in the company of 'Umar (radi allahu anhu) he said, 'Who among you has memorized the Hadeeth of the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) regarding the Fitnah (tribulation)?' I said, 'I.' He said, 'Tell it, you are indeed bold.' I said, 'He (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) mentioned the Fitnah of a man in his family, his wealth, his self, his child, and his neighbor - which are all expiated for by prayer, charity, the ordering of good, and the forbidding of evil.' He said, 'That is not what I meant; I am referring to (the Fitnah) which will become agitated like the agitation of the sea (i.e. when people will become submersed in discord).' I said, 'O leader of the believers, indeed between it and you is a closed door.' He said, 'Woe unto you! Will the door be opened or will it break?' I said, 'Rather, it will break.' He said, 'Then it will never be closed again.' I said, 'Indeed.' "Shafeeq Ibn Salamah (radi allahu anhu) said, "We said to Hudhaifah (radi allahu anhu) it is as if 'Umar (radi allahu anhu) knows who that door is?' " Hudhaifah (radi allahu anhu) answered, "Yes, I related to him a Hadeeth that was not false (not false because it was spoken by the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) who spoke not from desire, but from revelation)." Shafeeq (radi allahu anhu) later said, "We were afraid to ask Hudhaifah who the door was, so we asked Masrooq to ask." Hudhaifah answered, "Umar." And this is exactly what occurred. After 'Umar (radi allahu anhu) was killed in the year 23 H, people became engulfed in trials; 'Umar's death was what led to the spreading of those trials.

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Foretold The Trials That 'Uthmaan Was To Undergo

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said that 'Uthmaan Ibn 'Affaan (radi allahu anhu) was from the inhabitants of Paradise but that he would first be afflicted by a trial. This happened when he was besieged in his own home. Throughout that trial until its culmination - when he was murdered - he was patient and was hoping for his reward from Allah and he (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) became a martyr. When we previously discussed the events surrounding 'Uthmaan's murder, we mentioned those Ahaadeeth in which that murder was foretold by the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam). Similarly, we mentioned those Ahaadeeth which foretold of the events that took place during the days of Jamal and Siffeen (1) And we seek help from Allah (subhana wa ta’ala).

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Foretold 'Ammaar Ibn Yaasir's Killing

There are narrations in which the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said that 'Ammar (radi allahu anhu) would be killed. As for the Khawaarij, whom 'Alee Ibn Abee Taalib (radi allahu anhu) fought, there are many ahaadeeth related about them, ahaadeeth we have hitherto mentioned - all praise is for Allah and all blessings are from Him. We have also discussed the murder of 'Alee (radi allahu anhu) and the ahaadeeth that foretold it

(1) From this point forward, when Imam Ibn Katheer - may Allah have mercy on him - says about a Hadeeth or topic that he discussed it earlier, it might be from an earlier section of this volume, but he may be referring to what he wrote in a previous volume of his book on history.

End of times No.2

noreply@blogger.com (Dana ) — Wed, 16 May 2012 21:26:00 +0000

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Foretold The End Of The Persian And Roman Empires

The Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said, "When Caesar is destroyed, there will be no Caesar after him, and when Kisra (a title designated to the emperor of Persia) is destroyed, there will be no Kisra after him. And by the One Who has my soul in His Hand, you will spend their treasures in the way of Allah." (Bukhaaree and Muslim) .This prophecy was fulfilled, for during the caliphates of Abu Bakr (radi allahu anhu) Umar (radi allahu anhu), and Uthmaan (radi allahu anhu), Caesar (the name of this particular Caesar was Haraql) lost control of countries in Sham (Syria and surrounding regions) and the Arabian Peninsula. His dominion was then limited to the countries of Rome. In Arabic, the application of the word Qaisar (Caesar) was for he who ruled over Rome, Sham, and the Arabian Peninsula. Therefore this Hadeeth contained glad tidings for the inhabitants of Sham; it promised them that, until the Day of Judgment, they would never again be under the rule of Rome. As for Kisra, he lost his entire control of most of his dominion during the caliphate of 'Umar (radi allahu anhu), and then he lost everything during the caliphate of 'Uthmaan (radi allahu anhu). According to one narration, - this occurred in the year 32 H - all praise is for Allah and all blessings are from Him. When the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) sent a letter to Kisra, inviting him to Islam, the latter tore it up. The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) supplicated against him, invoking Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) to completely tear apart his empire, and that is in fact what happened.
