Oh Allah, refine my condition to be better
Facilitate my affairs
Please my heart
Strengthen my love for You
Because I have hope in You
Protect me against the fire of hell and
Reward me with Your Paradise – Amin
The conversation between a Muslim Philosopher and a Non-Muslim Philosopher led to the mutual agreement that there is a Power behind creation, it could not have happened by accident. First handle crossed. What is the Name of the Power is for another day
The next is whether this Power is different for each Continent, Nation, Tribe, Man, Animal etc and so preponderance of theories abound. The Non Muslim
The Ape, thunder, iron, sea god and goddesses….!!!
Philosopher claimed that his generation evolved from Apes, to put it in a simple Language, Monkey! And this the non Muslim Philosopher claim it is his own theory of evolution. Remember, a theory is not a fact, what is true today might be wrong idea tomorrow when viewed from another eyes of different Philosopher.
What does Islam has to say concerning Creation?
If you are able to find answer to this question, it becomes easy for you to find your bearing and navigate through life in Faith and in Truth. This being so because : In an Hadith Qudsi, the Messenger of Allah was reported to say”Allah did not create Man and Jinn except that you should worship Him and Him alone’.
Who Created this Universe and it’s content?
2:21. “O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), Who created you and those who were before you so that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious – see V.2:2).”
Allah assert and affirm that He is your Creator
Will you are trying to find out who or what is Allah
He has informed you rightly that He is your Creator
In your local language or dialect, the name you gave to the Omnipotent, Omniscience, Alpha, Omega, The Almighty, Chinieke, Olodumare, Ubangiji… Any name that connote the Supreme Being, that is Allah
If you now agree that your fore parents were Monkey
The Monkeys lives on trees
The whites will abuse African that they live on trees…think people
If what you worship is not your Creator
Then you are reducing your dignity by worshipping what do not create you!
The path to piety is to worship Your Creator!!! No more no less
What Else did Allah Create?
2:22. “Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped).”
The Earth specially made for you
That is why all the mineral in your body is the same from the soil
You are from the earth
Live on the earth
Eat from the earth
Fashion or building material from the earth: powder, Jewelry, bricks, cement, etc
When you die, you are back to the earth
Then you will be raised up from the earth!
“Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped).”
Purpose for Revelation of Al-Qur’an:
28:85. “Verily, He Who has given you (O Muhammad SAW) the Quran (i.e. ordered you to act on its laws and to preach it to others) will surely bring you back to Paradise after your death, etc.). Say (O Muhammad SAW): “My Lord is Aware of him who brings guidance, and he who is in manifest error.”
Qur’an a Gift From Allah to us all:
28:86. “And you were not expecting that the Book (this Quran) would be sent down to you, but it is a mercy from your Lord. So never be a supporter of the disbelievers.”
No Messenger of Allah will be fasting and praying to be an Apostle
The office of Prophethood is a big office of responsibility
The Book (Al-Qur’an) is to be obeyed and followed
The Qur’an is a mercy from your Lord!
Truth should must not be resisted:
28:87. “And let them not turn you (O Muhammad SAW) away from (preaching) the Ayat (revelations and verses) of Allah after they have been sent down to you, and invite (men) to (believe in) your Lord (i.e: in the Oneness (Tauheed) of Allah (1) Oneness of the Lordship of Allah; (2) Oneness of the worship of Allah; (3) Oneness of the Names and Qualities of Allah), and be not of Al- Mushrikoon (those who associate partners with Allah, e.g. polytheists, pagans, idolaters, those who disbelieve in the Oneness of Allah and deny the Prophethood of Messenger Muhammad SAW).”
Hypocrisy is not welcomed:
28:88. “And invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Everything will perish save His Face. His is the Decision, and to Him you (all) shall be returned.”
You are warned not to associate partner with your Lord
“Your God my God is One God” was the mantra, all Prophets of Allah emphasis it.
That is the central message of libration from worship of idols.
The Reward:
29:19 “And those who believe in (the Oneness of) Allah and His Messengers, they are the Siddiqoon, and the martyrs, with their Lord, they shall have their reward and their light. But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism) and deny Our Ayat they shall be the dwellers of the blazing Fire.”
The Truth about this Life:
29:20. “Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers, evil-doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers, good-doers), whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment.”
One Day The Angels Visited the Messenger of Allah!!!:
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 385: Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
Some angels came to the Prophet while he was sleeping.
Some of them said, ‘He is sleeping.’
Others said, ‘His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake.’
Then they said, ‘There is an example for this companion of yours.’
One of them said, ‘Then set forth an example for him.’
Some of them said, ‘He is sleeping.’ The others said, ‘His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake.’
Then they said:
‘His example is that of a man who has built a house and then offered therein a banquet and sent an inviter (messenger) to invite the people. So whoever accepted the invitation of the inviter, entered the house and ate of the banquet, and whoever did not accept the invitation of the inviter, did not enter the house, nor did he eat of the banquet.’
Then the angels said, ‘Interpret this example to him so that he may understand it.’ Some of them said, ‘He is sleeping.”
The others said, ‘His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake.’
And then they said, ‘The houses stands for Paradise and the call maker is Muhammad; and whoever obeys Muhammad, obeys Allah; and whoever disobeys Muhammad, disobeys Allah. Muhammad separated the people (i.e., through his message, the good is distinguished from the bad, and the believers from the disbelievers).’
Means of Guidance: Volume 9, Book 92, Number 374: Narrated Anas bin Malik:
That he heard ‘Umar speaking while standing on the pulpit of the Prophet in the morning (following the death of the Prophet), when the people had sworn allegiance to Abu Bakr. He said the Tashah-hud before Abu Bakr, and said, ‘Amma Ba’du (then after) Allah has chosen for his Apostle what is with Him (Paradise) rather than what is with you (the world). This is that Book (Quran) with which Allah guided your Apostle, so stick to it, for then you will be guided on the right path as Allah guided His Apostle with it.’
The Essence of Life is to be aware that all that you needed to be successful here and hereafter has been given to you like the Philosopher, it is your responsibility to seek for knowledge and work for your Paradise having discovered the Truth.
