The effects of Holy Quran upon the Hearts of People!!!

The Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] said: “Allaah did not send any Messenger to a people except that He sent him with something through which people would believe in him.” When Allaah [subhaanahu wa ta’aala] sends a Messenger, He sends him with a miracle or something that is amazing that people cannot reproduce and that is suitable for that time.

If we look at the example of Moosaa [‘alayhi-sallam], we find that he was sent with a staff that was used for and turned into a snake, since in that time magic was wide spread.

If we look to ‘Isa [‘alayhi-sallam], his time was famous for practicing medicine and finding cures for different diseases, so Allaah [subhaanahu wa ta’aala] sent him with that ability [by His will] to cure the lepers, the blind and the deaf.

One of the greatest miracles that the Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] was sent with is the Qur’aan. It is the miracle that will remain until nobody believes in Allaah and it is the miracle with which Allaah [subhaanahu wa ta’aala] challenged the Jinn and Mankind to produce the like thereof. Allaah described it as:“[This is] a Book [the Qur’aan] which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember.” [Sad 38:29]

Before the Qur’aan was sent, at that time the Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] lived in a time in which the Arabs used to pride themselves on their eloquence and they used to gather in their seasonal markets and recite poems to each other. A poet would come and recite a poem consisting of 100 or 200 lines and people would go home having memorised the entire poem, and they used to take pride in that. Allaah [subhaanahu wa ta’aala], challenged the Jinn and Mankind, after revealing it, to reproduce anything that is similar or the like of the Qur’aan and He challenged them by saying:“Say: ‘If the Mankind and the Jinn’s were together to produce the like of this Qur’aan, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another’.” [Al-Isra 17:88]

In order for us to appreciate and truly understand the greatness of the Qur’aan, we need to ponder and reflect over those verses in which Allaah challenged the Jinn and Mankind to bring the following: We have different degrees of that challenge, starting with the verses we just mentioned [above], Allaah said that they are not able to bring a whole book that resembles the Qur’aan, since they were not able to do it to that degree, Allaah [subhaanahu wa ta’aala] lessened the challenge and He [subhaanahu wa ta’aala] said: “Say: ‘Bring you then ten forged Surah [chapters] like unto it’.” [Hud 11:13]The challenge was reduced from the whole book to ten chapters like that of the Qur’aan.

Allaah [subhaanahu wa ta’aala] then challenged anyone to bring just one chapter like a chapter in the Qur’aan, and that the word chapter here is indefinite which from Arabic Grammar implies any chapter, short or long. And then lastly Allaah [subhaanahu wa ta’aala] said: “...then produce a Surah [chapter] of the like thereof...” [Al-Baqarah 2:23]Meaning that since you have not been able to bring anything like that of the above then something close to any chapter, but nobody from mankind or from the Jinn was or has been able to achieve this. Does that not prove beyond any doubt that this Book is indeed very great because nobody has been able to meet the challenge? This also proves to us that this Book, as Allaah [subhaanahu wa ta’aala] said, is from the Revelation of the One Who is Wise and the One who is All-Aware of everything. The greatness of the Qur’aan is shown by the fact that even Non-Muslims may [come to] realise its greatness, even though they may not understand the meaning of the Qur’aan they may still find its greatness. Unfortunately, as Muslims, sometimes we may not appreciate the greatness of the Qur’aan.

When the Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] was in Makkah, the people gave him an offer, they said: “Oh Muhammad, if you want wealth or money we will give it to you, if you want women we will marry you to the most beautiful women of the Arabs, and if you want to rule us, we will give you the kingdom, just leave what you are doing and stop calling the people to Allaah [to tawheed].” After which the Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] said: “Have you finished?” And this shows the manners of the Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] to a Non-Muslim who is calling him to disbelief, he did not interrupt him until he finished and asked him: “Have you finished”, and the man stated that he had.

Then the Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam], started reciting Surah Fussilat in reply to his offer, and he kept reciting until he reached the saying of Allaah:“But if they turn away, then say [O Muhammad]: ‘I have warned you of a Saa’iqah [a destructive awful cry, torment, hit, a thunderbolt] like the Saa’iqah which overtook 'Ad and Thamood [people]’.” [Fussilat 41:13]When he [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] reached the above verse, the man who had come to negotiate and make an offer, he said: “Enough O Muhammad, enough O Muhammad.” He could understand the meaning [of what was being recited] and he became affected by it

.Another example is the story of Jibrayah Muta’im. Before [his reversion to] Islam the disbelievers of Makkah waged a public relations war on the Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam]. They used to tell everyone not to listen to him and spread propaganda claiming that he [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] was magician, a poet etc., despite this, Jibrayah Muta’im went to see the Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] and he saw him praying near the Ka’bah. The Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] [after Maghrib] was reciting Surah at-Tur, and he said: “When he reached: ‘Were they created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators?’ [At-Tur 52:35]I thought my heart was going to fly out of my body.”

One of my friends was studying in America. He was travelling on a bus and he was reciting Surah ad-Dhua. An American woman heard him, approached him and asked: “What are you reciting?” He said: “This is the Book of Allaah, I am reciting the Qur’aan.” She said: “This attracted me can you recite it again?” So the brother started to recite Surah Zalzalah, the women said: “This is not what you recited before but it is still nice, could you give me something that I can benefit from, like a tape or something I can listen to?” The brother went and he forgot, but when she saw him again [on the bus] she reminded him: “Remember you promised to give me a tape.” He said: “I searched through my sound library but I only found a tape by Shaykh Ali ‘Abdullaah Jaabir, which was recorded in a studio as opposed to the Masjid in Makkah. There is a difference because the recitation in the Masjid in Makkah is generally more beautiful, but inshaa’Allaah she will be affected by it!” He gave her the tape. After three months they met again and she said: “There has not been a single night from that time until now except that every single night I listened to this tape, and when I tried to go to bed without this tape I couldn’t do it.” This woman didn’t even know the difference between Alif, Baa and Taa, so how comes it affects the Non-Muslims and many times it does not affect us, the Muslims?Imaam al-Qurtubi [rahimahullaah] related a story in which he said: In that time it was the custom of the rulers to gather yearly and to have meetings.

They would invite the scholars and the people of knowledge so that the meetings would be full of knowledge. There was a man in that gathering who could speak Arabic well and it was said to the ruler that this individual is not actually a Muslim, he is a Jew. He [the ruler] was surprised and so he said to him: “Why don’t you become a Muslim and I will give you something to strengthen you in Islam, like some money or something material?” But he [the Jewish man] said: “This is the religion of my forefathers and so I will stay on it.” When the next years gathering was taking place, the same man was in the gathering and so the ruler looked at him and said: “Are you the same man I saw last year?” It appeared that the man had embraced Islam, and so he asked him: “Have you embraced Islam?” He said: “Yes!” The ruler asked him: “What made you embrace Islam?” He replied: “I am a man with very good handwriting so I decided to try the three books, the Torah, the Bible and the Qur’aan, to see which one of them is the truth. I copied three copies of the Torah with my nice handwriting and I added things to it from myself and I took some things out of it myself, and I took it to the market and decided to sell it, and the people bought all of them from me, so I knew that the religion [of Judaism] is false.” He did the same with the Bible and the same happened, he did the same with the Qur’aan and nobody bought a single copy from him because they realised that this was not the true Qur’aan, he said: “Then I knew that this is the true religion and I embraced Islam.”A great scholar was at that gathering by the name and when he heard the story [of the man’s reversion]; he addressed the ruler and informed him that there is what confirms to what he has just said in the Qur’aan, in Surah al-Ma’idah. Allaah [subhaanahu wa ta’aala] says: “And the rabbis and the priests [too judged the Jews by the Tauraat [Torah] after those Prophets] for to them was entrusted the protection of Allaah’s Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me [O Jews] and sell not My Verses for a miserable price.” [Al-Ma’idah 5:44]And:“It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr [i.e. the Qur’aan] and surely, We will guard it [from corruption].” [Al-Hijr 15:9]

So Allaah took it upon himself to protect the Qur’aan and with everything that has been mentioned, unfortunately, many of us have abandoned the Qur’aan and we do not treat it seriously, nor do not study it. The Messenger [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] said:“Indeed my people have abandoned this Qur’aan.” Abandoning the Qur’aan can take different shapes and forms:First of all, not reciting it regularly, maybe we do not recite the Qur’aan for a few days in a row; perhaps we do not even recite the Qur’aan for several weeks.Secondly, we may recite it but we may not reflect on what we recite.Thirdly, we may leave acting upon the Qur’aan, what it makes Halaal and what it makes Haraam. Fourthly, we may abandon treating one another with the Qur’aan. Finally, we may even abandon taking the Qur’aan as our judge between us.So if you have abandoned the Qur’aan, then which type of abandonment have you fallen into? We must be very careful not to fall into that du’aa in which the Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] said to Allaah that his people have abandoned the Qur’aan.There is a great hadeeth in the Musnad of Imaam Ahmad [rahimahullaah] stating that the Qur’aan is the accepted intercessor, meaning that when it defends someone and intercedes for that person, Allaah accepts its intercession, and a defender who is believed, when the Qur’aan defends someone Allaah believes and accepts their defence. Whoever puts the Qur’aan in front of him, the Qur’aan will take him to Paradise, and whoever puts the Qur’aan behind him, the Qur’aan will take him to the Fire. Imaam Muslim [rahimahullaah] narrated in his book as part of a long hadeeth a saying of the Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] in which he said: “The Qur’aan is either a proof for you or against you.” There is no third choice, the Qur’aan will either testify for you and will be proof for you or it will be against you, you have to think which way it is going to testify, you have to look at yourself and decide in all honesty, are you really in the group that will be protected and defended by the Qur’aan. That is why we must pay attention to the Qur’aan by studying it, memorising it and understanding its meanings, because the Qur’aan is a treasure that we must learn and discover its knowledge. ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab [radee Allaahu ‘anhu] appointed as a governor of an area, a person who was set free at that very moment, who used to be a slave and he was set free, and he appointed him as a governor straight after that, some people said to him: “Why are you appointing this man to be a governor when we have other Companions?” ‘Umar replied to them and said: “Keep quiet because I heard the Messenger of Allaah [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] say: ‘Indeed Allaah raises the status of some people through this Book and lowers the status of some other people through this Book’.” This man [the freed slave] has memorised the Qur’aan and this is what made ‘Umar respect him and raise his status; and that is why a person who memorises the Qur’aan, his status will be raised in this world and he will be mentioned with good things in this world and in the Hereafter.

And finally, I want to advise all of my brothers and sisters to be keen and eager and to put effort into memorising the Qur’aan, they should not be prevented by age or things that may occupy them because learning and memorising the Qur’aan little by little all the time is better than something you do a lot but doesn’t last, you must have that intention in your heart that you want to memorise the Qur’aan, and I indeed hope for every single person who truly intends to memorise the Qur’aan and does what he or she can to do so.

Even if they die and they have not memorised the Qur’aan, I hope sincerely that Allaah will treat them on the Day of Judgement as if they have memorised the Qur’aan and that is why we must expend extra effort to try and memorise, learn and understand this Qur’aan, because one day the Qur’aan will be taken away from the earth to the extent that not a single verse will remain.




By Shaykh-ul-Islam ibn Taymiyyah [d.728H]If it is asked why is one supplicating for guidance to the Straight Path when a Muslim is already regarded to be on the Straight Path? Shaykh-ul-Islam ibn Taymiyyah says,…The case mentioned above is similar to what some of them ask concerning His saying, “Guide us to the Straight Path” [Al-Fatihah 1:6] saying: ‘Allaah has already guided the believer, so what benefit is there in seeking guidance?’ Then some of them reply by saying that the meaning is ‘Keep us firm upon guidance’ as the Arab would say to the one who is asleep, ‘Sleep until I come to you’. Others say that the meaning is, ‘Keep our hearts form upon the guidance’ and that the request for firmness has been omitted. Yet others from amongst them say that it means, ‘Increase me in guidance.’This question really occurs due to the absence of their pondering the Straight Path to which the servant seeks guidance to, for the meaning [of this verse] is [seeking guidance to] act according to what Allaah ordered, and leaving what He forbade in all matters.This is because the person, even if he has believed that Muhammad [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] is the Messenger of Allaah and that the Qur’aan is the truth in a general way, I is commonly in need of knowledge of that which would benefit him and harm him. He is in need of knowledge concerning what he has been commanded to do and forbidden from doing in the finer aspects of his life and in those areas of which he has no knowledge. [Not only this but we find that] that which he does have knowledge of, he does not put the greater part of it into practice! Assuming that all of the commands and prohibitions contained within the Qur’aan and Sunnah have reached him, then the Qur’aan and Sunnah contain laws that are general and universal for which it is not possible to specify to every individual person - therefore the person has been commanded due to the likes of this to ask for guidance to the Straight Path.Guidance to the Straight Path includes all of the following matters: cognisance of what the Messenger [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] came with in detail, cognisance of what comes under his general orders and concern for acting according to ones knowledge, for indeed just having knowledge is not a cause for attaining guidance if one does not act according to his knowledge. This is why He said to His Prophet [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] after the treaty of Hudaybiyyah,“Indeed We have given you a manifest victory. That Allaah may forgive you your sins of the past and the future, complete His favour upon you, and guide you on a Straight Path.” [Al-Fath 48:1-2]And He said with respect to Moosaa and Haroon,“And We gave them the clear Scripture, and guided them to the Right Path.” [As-Saffat 37:117-119]The Muslims have differed as to what Allaah willed from the textual matters - matters of knowledge, belief and action whiles all of them are agreed that Muhammad [sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] is the truth and the Qur’aan is the truth. If all of them were to have attained guidance to the Straight Path in totality, they would have never have differed. Furthermore the majority of those who know what Allaah has ordered disobey Him and do not follow His Way. If they were guided to the Straight Path in these matters then they certainly would have performed what they had been commanded to do, and left what they had been forbidden from. As for those whom Allaah guided from amongst this nation until they became from the God-Fearing Friends of Allaah, the greatest reason for this was their supplicating to Allaah with this supplication [guide us to the Straight Path] in ever prayer along with the knowledge of their continuous need of Allaah that He guide them on the Straight Path. So due to their continually saying this supplication and their acknowledging their continuous need of Him they became God-Fearing Friends of Allaah. Sahl bin ‘Abdullaah at-Tustari said, ‘There is not a route between a servant and Allaah closer to Him than need.’The one who has attained guidance in the past is in need of guidance in the future, this is the real meaning behind the saying of those who say that it means: ‘Establish us and guide us to being firm upon the Straight Path.’ The opinion of those who say that it means: ‘Increase us in guidance’ includes what has preceded. But all that has been stated refers to His guidance to the Straight Path that is to be granted in the future, for indeed action in the future is upon knowledge that is not yet attained. And the person is not considered to be on who is guided until he acts according to his knowledge in the future, but it is possible that this knowledge may not be there in the future, rather it could be removed from the heart, and if it still be there it is also possible that it not be acted upon. Therefore all of mankind is in dire need of this supplication, this is why Allaah made it obligatory upon them in ever prayer and they are not in need of any supplication as they are of this one. When guidance is obtained to the Straight Path then help, provision and all of the happiness that the soul seeks are obtained [from Allaah]. Allaah knows best. [19]Allaah commands His servants to supplicate,“Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us mercy from Yourself. Indeed You are the Bestower.” [Aali Imran 3:8]Footnote:[19] Ibn Taymiyyah, ‘Diseases of the Heart and their Cures’ Eng. Trans., pp. 44-47.

THE TORTURE OF ASIYA(one of the best women in Islam)

The wife of Fir'awn (Aasiya) was honored by Allah Ta'ala in the Quran:And Allah has set forth an example for those who believe: the wife of Fir'awn, when she said: "My Lord! Build for me a home with You in Paradise, and save me from Fir'awn and his actions, and save me from the people who are wrong-doers!"[Surah at-Tahrim 66:11]

Commenting on this verse, Ibn Kathir spoke about the torture she under went to test her faith:"Fir'awn's wife used to ask: "Who prevailed (in the conflict between Fir'awn and the Prophets of Allah)?"

When she was told that Musa and Harun had prevailed, she said: "I believe in the Lord of Musa and Harun."Fir'awn sent his aides to her and said to them: "Find the biggest stone you can. If she insists on keeping her faith, throw the stone on her. Otherwise, she is still my wife."They came to her and tortured her under the sun and when the torture session was over, the angels would shade her with their wings and she would look up to the sky and was able to see her house in Paradise. She persisted on her faith until her soul was taken. The heavy stone was then thrown on her lifeless body."[Tafsir Ibn Kathir; 4/505]

LEYLA

Who asked of me Love.
Who touched my heart and
soul,so that now is bitting
of such a strong love,and me
I do not see anyone around me.

Who covered me with waiting,
so He hide himselfe from me,
make my iman strong,the beliver
He made me.

This Love bring me a conclustion,
who I am,what I am,to who I belong,
and to who I will be back,she rised me
up to the Arsh of sky.

Leyla get tired,she rised on the
highest mountain but there she could
not also find Most loving one.
Leyla with tears in her eyes called
"Where are you my Almighty Lord".

In her heart she looked deep,
The Most Loving One she found.
Who I am,what I am to who I belong
and to I will be back,to the Arsh of
sky she rised me up.

ADEM A.S GOES AWAY!!!

ADEM A.S. GOES AWAY!!!

The time was spinding round in a circle. The day was coming, and the night was going away. The children were growthing, changing their look, and their look were changing Adem a.s. and Hava. Their bodys were loseing their youth freshness, beauty and strenght. Their skin was becomeing more and more winkle. Behind them they have left many years spend in a big effort fulfill with constant worry and fight. All that they were attending they attended it hard. And on that way they have realised that behind every scess on this world stays big effort. The many years past away, and on the Earth many times again the night was droping down. It was a special night, different then the others. That night was a witness of something that hapend for the first time on the Earth. The win was blowing strongly. The leafs were folling down from old trea that was plant by Adem a.s. When the win stoped blowing and the trea stranghten up from twigs was droping the water, and it seemd that the trea was crying. The trea was very sad just like the stars on the sky. Only the Moon with his silver face quietly watched on the Earth. He felt that down on the Earth was hapening something huge and important, but he did not know what. So he gave an order to his rays, to go fast on Earth and bring him a news about that what was hapening there. And his rays drop down on the Earth and light up hills, rivers, seas and valleys. They were supprised: all creatures were depressed and they were crying. The rays then entered in Adems room, trying to realise why the creatures were so sad. They drop down on Adems face and it was palier and silverier than the face of the Moon. And than it was when Moon has realised that Adem a.s. was daying. So he start to cry to... Adem in his last moments on This world called his children. He spoke to them quietly and distinctly: " Children, there is one ship which takes man way of salvation and there is also one weapon that makes one person strong. That ship is Gods instruction and the weapon are Gods words". The children were listening carefuly, but they did not knew that they are listening the voice of their father for the last time. "You have to know that Allah will never live you alone". Carry over to your children that Gods messangers will come, so respond to their call... And never do forget on dear God. Than he stiff his look and sow that Melek of death was coming to him. That was the first human death on Earth. The death of first man and first Gods messanger.

How to recognise Almighty Allah and his existence

1- What I realize through my senses

I cannot doubt its existence This is a rational spontaneous intuition which is taken for granted, but what is witnessed is that when one walks, at midday, in the desert and sees a pond of water at a remote distance, but when he reaches it, he will discover that is a dust because what he saw was a mirage. By the same token, when one puts the straight pen in a cup of water, he will see it as if it is broken, but really it is not. If someone was at an evening party in which people talked about Jinn and ghosts, on his way home, because the road was dark and empty and if he was scared and had an active imagination, he may have thought he saw a Jinn or a ghost, but in fact it was nothing other than his imagination. The magicians and tricksters display strange things which we see, but they have no reality. Therefore, the senses can make mistakes and be deceived, they can imagine or their owner can imagine, but is this a reasonable cause to doubt the existence of what one realizes?No, because if I doubt what I hear, see, or realizes, my reality will be confused with my imagination and I will be like an insane person.Here, there is another prerequisite to attain the knowledge edge (conviction) that what I realize is existed i.e. the mind should not decree according to the previous experiment and consider it as a basis of conviction. What I felt (realized) in the beginning was an imagination or an illusion of the sense. In the first case, the mind was deluded, it thought the mirage to be water, the pen was still straight although it seemed as if it was broken. The matters in which the senses were mistaken or deluded were definite and well known. This does not invalidate or affect the rule. Amongst these things are the magic done by the magicians of Pharaoh and what is done by magicians in circus nowadays.

2- Necessity of Believing in Allah the Almighty

Belief in Allah is a rational, emotional, psychological, social, political and linguistic necessity. You may wonder why it is also a linguistic necessity and you have the right in doing so.Here, we come to the language and ask, which of them come first meanings or words? Or do the words come first then meanings?It is taken for granted that unless the meaning is very clear in our minds, it is impossible to create the word. In other words, if the meaning is not clear in the mind, we will find no word for it in the language. Therefore, if the meaning precedes the word what can we say concerning the modern meanings which were not existent before that such as for example the terminology of new inventions.The linguistic assemblies state that we should create a word for this new term because it is a modern thing such as radio, TV, missile, refrigerator, spaceship, and helicopter etc. These names accrued from a precedent and particular meanings for them in the mind.In the light of what is mentioned above, it is impossible that the concept of ‘divinity’ is a non-existent concept which has no words. If it is believed what non-existent things cannot reach the degree of having words and if the words cannot precede the meanings, then the spread of such words in the language, culture and civilization of the people is considered to be a clear-cut proof on their existence. On the top of these concepts comes the concept of divinity.Thus, we can deduce that the meaning of belief in the existence of Allah precede the language and the words. Its existence in the human languages, in the anthropological studies, and through history, is a decisive proof that his meaning has an existence in the human thought however numerous its names, forms, or patterns.If one contemplates this question, he will find that there is a harmony and cohesion in the essence of the words to such an extent that they have no contradiction altogether. For example, the word of ‘disbelief’ (kufr) may connote the meaning of ‘belief’ (Iman), for the word Kufr, in essence, means covering. So, the word indicates that there was something existent then it was covered. In other words, covering is something temporary in respect of the existent thing. For this reason, the scholars interpreted the phrase ‘they have disbelieved’ (Kafaru) in the glorious Ayah that it is a condition for something which was existent. In the light of the previous mentioned, we can say that disbelief is something temporary to the belief.Only imagine your life without Allah...How it would be???Only imagine how would you feel that you do not know that Almighty Allah exist.I could not live without Allah and Elhamdulliah that Allah showed us the right way because without knowing for Allah we would really be lost.And this is also one of the greatest gift from dear Allah.How mercisfull He is.

3-Do We Need Proof about The Existence Of Allah?

Once, a scholar of sacred knowledge was asked, what is theproof for the existence of Allah. 'Allah', the scholar replied. Then, hewas asked again, what about the apparatus of mind? 'It is deficient andleads only to something like', he replied.Ibn Ata' As-Sakandan said, "O Allah! How can they cite what needs Youas an evidence for You?! Is there anything more evident than You to be cited as an evidence for You?! When did You cease watching the world that we need an evidence for Your existence?! And how far did you go that now we have to pursue Your traces to find You?! How can He be veiled while He disclosed every-thing?! How can He be veiled while He is evident anywhere?! How can He be veiled while He is the ever Evident and the only One Who has no peer?! How can He be veiled while Lie is nearer to us than anything else?! How can He be veiled while we owe our existence to Him?!Thus there is no comparison between those who know Allah as a source of evidence or as an end of evidence. The former return the right to its owner, whereas the latter are misled. When did He cease watching the world thatwe need evidence for His Existence?! How far did He go so that we have topursue His traces?!

4-Between Faith and Atheism

Once, an atheist teacher said to his disciples, "only what you see really exists. They answered, 'yes.' You notice the tablet, the pen, the notebook and the chair? All of them are visible and touchable, aren't they?' 'Yes,' They replied. Then he said, do you see God? They replied, no. hence, God doesn’t exist. The students were perplexed, because they believed in theexistence of Allah by heart. Meanwhile, Allah disclosed the falsehood ofthese teachers at the hands of one of his disciples. A student after having permission asked, do you understand what the teacher has said, they said, yes. Ok, do you see the teacher now? Yes, they replied. Does the teacher havea mind? 'Yes,' they answered. 'Do you see his mind?' They said, 'No,' hesaid, following the teacher method i.e., "Only what we see does exist." Ourteacher has no mind because it is invisible. Then, all students laughed andthe teacher was amazed and never mentioned that again. The following is alsoanother useful discourse: you assume that Allah exists depending totallyon the law of casual influence which states that every thing made or createdshould have a maker or a creator. Likewise, the textile leads to the weaver,the painting leads to the painter, and the statue leads to the sculptor.Following the same law the universe leads to the Omnipotent God. We, then,believe in this Creator, but we might follow the same law and ask, who createsthe Creator? Who created Allah Whom you talked about? Does your evidenceand the law of casual influence not lead to such a result? To refute thisfalse assumption, we can say that it is incorrect analogy, this is becauseyou first acknowledge that Allah is the Creator then you ask about the creatorof Allah. How can you adopt Him as a creator and created at the same time.This assumption can also be refuted in the following manner: How can you imagine that the Creator is subject to human laws. The casual influence is a human law and does not apply but to human beings. Also, time and place on earth differ from time and place outside. Thus, the Creator can never be described in terms of time or place nor their laws. More than that, Allah has created such laws, therefore, it is incredible to describe Allah by the laws created by Him.Aristotle mentioned the sequence of these causes by saying, the chairis made from wood, wood from a tree, a tree from a seed, and a seed is cultivated by a teller. Then, he was obliged to say that this sequential causes in the course of endless time must lead to the necessity of the Creator, so isAllah.lbn Arabi when answering this question "who created Allah?" He said, "It is an incredible question since Allah Himself is a source of evidence. Allah is a supreme Being transcendently beyond all creatures qualities, just as light is a proof for the day-time and not the opposite.

5. Why Is Allah Invisible?

To answer this question, let us refer to science concerning matter and the like in this life. If only what we see does exist, there are many invisible things that are beyond our senses. For example, if you put a magnet opposite to a piece of iron, you will notice that the magnet pulls the iron. Where is that power placed between the iron and the magnet? Is it touchable, visible or testable? We just realize it because of its effect as it pulled the iron. This gravity is created as colors. Colors cannot be visible, because ofits great darkness, before being reflected as an object like a cloth, awall, a plate or something else. For example, if we have a green cloth,we should bear in mind that the matter in the cloth has absorbed all colorssave the green, therefore, we notice it as being green and so on. Electricityalso is invisible. Only after lighting a lamp do we notice electricity conducted through wires. But, where is electricity? It is certainly invisible as are ultra violet rays, gravity and many other things that we can only notice them by the effect they leave. Behold, although these created things, gave a small example with regards to the whole world, are invisible, no wonder Allah Who created such things is invisible.

The same example is soul.She is there but we can not see her.Allah Almighty is always there but we can not see him.

YA RABBI

Ya Rabbi keep me always on your straight way
I’ll pray tomorrow as I prayed today and yesterday

Fill my heart with your love and none but yours
With it I’ll love all brothers and sisters in your cause

All the burdens of disturbance, irritation, and frustration
Go and vanish when I bow my head for you in prostration

Ya Rabbi grant me patience and strengthen my belief
For none but you can ease my deep sorrow and grief

Ya Rabbi I ask you again and again with tearful eyes
Not protesting against your will for I know you’re the wise

You are the merciful, then, have mercy on my weakness
Straight me, restore my heart and heal my soul’s sickness

Neither the moon nor the stars will lit the dull of my night
Not even the brightening sun; but your guidance is the light

Ya Rabbi; from you what is within me is not concealed
Whether I will hide my feelings or not they’ll be revealed

You are the only one who can hear my silent screams
And only with your will I will realize all my dreams

With regret I turn to you, with a shameful face full of tears
Pardon me and forgive my tongue, my eyes, and my ears

All I see around, all the creation to your highness is a sign
I believe in your greatness and that you are Allah the one

My beautiful veil

~My beautiful veil~

She was sitting there all alone,
she was sitting there with her selfe
and her own soul.

She was hiding her look
under that beautiful veil,
that was her choice, peace and happiness.
All alone in her own world she is sitting there.

Maybe they can say that she do not think so well,
and that world is giving to her on the way,
but she is so proud to say
that this is her beautiful veil.

That beautiful veil is her protection,
her beauty,shame and modesty.
And how can they say
that that is something wrong, when that veil
makes her feel blessed and so strong.

Under that beautiful veil,
she is hidden and her secrets.
And it is not because she must hide,
or she must hide her secrets.
It is something much more than that.

They say that she become blind,
and that she do not see anithing under that veil.
But she has eyes like they does.
Her eyes are open under that veil
and their eyes are really closed.

Maybe they can say that she is really lost,
that she is missing so much things,
but they do not know,
that her beautiful veil is the thing
that she loves the most.

They can say that she is not living
anymore on that way,
but her heart understand words to say
that her veil is her only life.

She really knows that this beautiful veil
is true mercy and reword from her Lord.
Like a pearl from the bottom of the sea,
her clothes is keeping her and protecting.
That is a Muslim girl...Faith is separating her.
