.::!!! Racism And Prejudice !!::.

So much importance placed on skin colour,
So much concern about something only meant to be a cover
We think the outside makes a difference,
So between each other we create distance.

Some race made to feel inferior,
Because people judge according to the exterior,
Human feeling goes amiss,
As we sink deeper and deeper into an abyss.

So many differences we've created,
More and more reason to breed hatred,
Groups of people continue dividing,
It's clear racism and prejudice is overriding.


It seems we just cant come together,
Although we're supposed to be one human race,
We mock and we scorn one another,
And we can't even come face to face.

So many different reason to devide,
Background, culture, status..it all boils down to pride,
Each group thinking that they've better,
Holding on so tightlu to things that don't matter.

Sometimes our bigotry becomes so intense,
That we kill and we harm,
Not caring at whose expense,
How is it stil possible for us to remain calm?

It's a sad situation we're in,
we're supposed to be living like kin,
Yet we hate and we loath without caring,
Not realizing that it's the world we are marring.

.:: La Tahzan, Don't Be Sad ::.


If you are stricken by proverty, others are chained in debt.
If you dont have shoes, others have no feet.
If you feel pain now, others have been aching for years.
If your son dies, others have lost many.
If you haved sinned, then repent.
If you have commited a mistakes, correct it.
The doors of repentance are ever open.
The fountain of forgiveness is ever rich.
So, Dont be sad, let all bygones be bygones.
What is predistined for you, you shall see it.
Being sad will not change anything,.
So dont be sad, sadness spoils your life.
Destroy your happiness, and turn it to wretchedness

What is Tabligh?


In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

m waRahmatuAssalaamu `alaykullahi Wabarakatuh

Allah Ta’ala says in the Quran;
“Say (O’ Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhiwa Sallam) this is my way; I invite to Allah Ta’ala, I and whomsoever follows me”. (12:108)
It was the sacred duty of all the Ambiya (Alayhim As-Salatuwa Salam) to invite towards Allah Ta’ala and His commandments. Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhiwa Sallam) was the final Rasul sent by Allah Ta’ala. Allah Ta’ala says;
“We have sent you (O’ Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhiwa Sallam) as a mercy to the Alamin (Mankind, Gin and all that exists)”. (21:104)


Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhiwa Sallam) was a mercy to mankind. He invited people towards Allah Ta’ala and His commandments and practically demonstrated to them how to discharge the laws of Allah Ta’ala. Similarly, the Sahaba, Tabien and all those who came after them followed Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhiwa Sallam) in inviting towards Allah Ta’ala and the Sunnah lifestyle of Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhiwa Sallam).

In our times the jamat-tablig is continuing this and conveying the message of the Quran and sunnahs of Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhiwa Sallam) in the entire universe. It is compulsory upon every Muslim to convey the message of the Quran in any Shariah compliant way and not specifically in the way of the jamat-tablig.

The name “jamat-tablig” is not the name of this work and it is wrong to assume that this is a separate sect in islam. The initiator of tablig in this specific form Moulana Muhammad Ilyas (Ramatullahi Alayhi) [d.1944] is reported to have said; “If I had to give this work/movement a name I would have given it the name “The reviver of iman”.



Ml. Muhammad Ilyas (Rahmatullahi Alayhi) expressing his concern for the Ummat and the objectives of this work states;

· The example of Deen and Iman is liken to a rose plant [deen] whose stems, leaves and flowers have all died and has lost its value. However, when effort was made on its roots [iman] it again blossomed and was admired by all.

· The object of this work is to create zeal & thirst in the hearts of those who have no zeal & thirst for Deen and its practices. When this is created in them they will rush to the fountains of knowledge i.e. (to the Ulama, Madrasas and Khankas) to quench their thirst.

· The actual aim of this work is to teach the Ummat everything with which Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhiwa Sallam) came with i.e. to get the Ummat attached a complete system of thought and practice of Islam.

· Zikr and Dua are the wheels and of this work.
(Words and Reflections of Ml. Muhammad Ilyas)

The work schedule of the jamat is as follows;

1. To go around meeting the Muslims for the upliftment of deen.

2. Acquiring deeni knowledge and devolving a constant habit of Zikrullah.

3. Correction of intention and working towards the devolvement of Ikhlas and exercising ihtisab i.e. a concerted effort of keeping oneself under surveillance for purity.

The doings of the jamat are known to be Shariah compliant and the infinite good that has stemmed from its practices are universal. Millions of people globally have benefitted and are benefiting from its efforts. Its effort has rekindled the light of Iman in the hearts of the masses not only among the Muslims but has changed the life of ample disbelievers as well.

The obligation on every Muslim is to learn the regulations of his Deen in order to practice and propagate. Therefore, it is highly recommended that one joins this work for one’s own benefit and for the benefit of humanity. At the same time it is equally important to join any other institute of Deen in which there is “true benefit” for one’s self reformation and Iman.

Over and above all that was said, the work of dawat is and should be a means of self-reformation in fulfilling the rights of Allah Ta’ala and His servants.

Comments by prominent personalities

Graham E. Fuller, a former CIA official and an expert on Islam, (author of The Future of Political Islam) characterized Tablighi Jamaat as a "peaceful and apolitical preaching-to-the-people movement." Barbara Metcalf, a University of California scholar of South Asian Islam, called Tablighi Jamaat "an apolitical, quietist movement of internal grassroots missionary renewal" and compared its activities to the efforts to reshape individual lives by Alcoholics Anonymous.

Olivier Roy, a prominent authority on Islam at Paris's prestigious Centre National de la Recherche Sceintifique, described Tablighi Jamaat as "completely apolitical and law abiding."

Cllr Alan Craig, the Christian Choice candidate for Mayor of London complained after his Party Election Broadcast was censored by both the BBC and ITV. The broadcast initially referred to Tablighi Jamaat as "a separatist Islamic group", but the word separatist had to be replaced by "controversial" on the BBC and was removed entirely for broadcast on ITV.

A years..?
or, For the Rest of my life?

Yes!!, it will take for the rest of my life,
am not able to forget about you,
because..
you were perfect to me,
you were just so amazing as the way you are,


You was the one i have been looking for,
you were the one among the million of flowers,
you were a very generous women i have ever known,
you thought me with an unaccountable lesson,

You thought me the meaning of "Love",
You thought me the meaning of " to be loved",
You thought me the meaning of "Sacrifice",
You thought me the meaning of "Caring",
You thought me so much about "Islam",

spoke with you reminds me of Allah swt,
spoke with you reminds me of Rasulullah saw,
spoke with you reminds me of Sahabah,
spoke with you reminds me of Sahabiah
,


and now you are gone,
leaving me all alone,
but am glad,
because Allah swt loves you mre than we do,
and you dont have to suffers the pain that you have carried this all time,

May Allah swt put you among the Solihin,
among the mukminat,
among the Syuhada',
Among the mujahidah,


Insya Allah i'll try my best to be a virtous son,
Insya Allah i'll try my best to be a daie,
Insya Allah, we will meet in Jennah,
Until then i'll never forget you in my prayers,
