LOOK! THERE GOES A MOLVI :
Sometimes we say things and pay no heed to how it effects our Faith. In our daily lives, many things are done JUST FOR FUN, or at least thats what we think, but does Allah bear it? well I think FUN is the word Allah disregards????!!!!
Indeed FUN is regarded hideous, when it comes to serious matters. I do not need to explain what psychological effects it creats when a person is saying something serious and the listener throws a joke in return!
Islam is really serious about the word ‘FUN’! Salaf had agreed on declaring a person ‘Kafir’ (infidel) who makes fun of any matter of Deen. Sheikh ul Islam Imam Ibn e Taimiyyah, Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab, and others described this point in their scripts and declared such people as Kuffar. The evidence they give is:
Abdullah bin Wahab said, Hisham bin Saad informed me, Zaid bin Aslam narrated, Abdullah bin Umar R.A narrated, in the battle of ‘Tabook’ a person said in one gathering, I have never seen people with such plumpy bellies like our Qurras (reciters) have, nor did I see any big liar than them and nor did I meet anyone having such arrogance while meeting. A man of Masjid said, you lied and you are a hypocrite, I will surely tell this to the Prophet of Allah – and he did. The Verses of Quran revealed. Abdullah bin Umar R.A said, I saw him being dragged by the reigns of the Prophet’s camel (in order to get the attention of the Prophet) and was being tumbled by the rocks and trying to justify:
إنما كنا نخوض ونلعب
"We were only conversing and playing”
The Prophet of Allah said:
قل اباالله وأياته ورسوله كنتم تستهزءون * لا تعتذروا قد كفرتم بعد ايمانكم * التوبة 65
“Say, "Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?"Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief.”
Isnt this exactly what we say to our religious figures? Molvis do this, they have the most plumpiest bellies, they lie, atleast we are better than them, etc! Same is the case with a person who keeps a beard and a sister who starts wearing Hijaab; we just mock them and try our best to redicule them with the words like Molvi (though it isnt a bad word, but now it is used for mockery) and others. In actual we are mocking ourselves because it is we, who do not follow the commands of Allah and not the one whom we are mocking, because in this case he is a lot better than us, because unlike us atleast he looks like a Muslim. It is a human nature, when a person lacks something, he tries to find errors in others, who do not lack and this way he tries to satisfy himself. When a person keeps a beard, his brothers and friends would surely mock him for the very same reason, because there would be a voice in them cursing them and they would definitely defy him and in this way sometimes lose their Iman.
My topic is general, but the example of beard is so common that I would like to present it as for the common issue:
Sheikh Bin Baaz was asked about the person who makes fun of the fellow Muslim who had kept the beared. He answered thus:
This is different, if he targets the beard which is an order of Allah and is a part of Deen, surely he had commited apostacy (because apostacy is not only commited by words but certain actions also lead towards it, like to spit purposely on Quran, to walk on it and make fun of Deen), as Allah SWT said:
قل أبا الله وآياته ورسوله كنتم تستهزءون * لا تعتذروا قد كفرتم بعد ايمانكم * التوبة
“Say, "Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?" Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief.”
But if his aim is not Deen, rather he is targetting the person for any other reason (like he did not comb it properly), even then it is not allowed in any case and a person is in danger, because at any time he can mistakenly enter into Kufar (infidelity). (Majmo’ Fatawa bin Baaz 28/365, 366)
Sheikh Saleh Al Munajjid declared it as a ‘Fisq’ if not targetted Beard, but if it is done, then Kufar.
So my brothers and sisters in Islam! We must take care of it, because we go too far in making fun of such things and it is more dangerous for us as we are Muslims and we must defend at any case our religious figures and the orders of Allah and must respect them. If we do not respect, then how can we expect from the people of other religions to respect us. I agree that there are number of so called religious figures who have disgraced the name of Islam by their actions, but let me ask you, does it allow you to mock this respectable title of Deen – ‘Molvi’? Islam is not what people practice and what their actions present, it is Quran and the life of our Prophet. The word Molvi is derived from ‘Mawla’ which is the name of Allah SWT and the word ‘Molvi’ means a person referred to Mawla. The reference is towards Allah and was indeed a blessed title until British came to the subcontinent and started bearing hatred in the hearts of the Muslims for those, who were the main threat to their existance. Remember when we are saying the Molvi is bad, it means we are targetting Islam.
For example, when we say that the son of so and so is bad, the reason we make the name of the father prominent is that we want to direct this to the father. Which means we target the father more than the son. Same is the case with islamic figures, when we say, that Molvi is bad we direct this to Islam, otherwise there is no logical reason why the name Molvi is pointed rather than calling him by his own name to specify his own personality only.
Similarly, the Fatwah of Imam Abu Hanifa (R.A) is well known as he said, if anyone rejoices while looking at himself in the mirror after shaving his beard, he becomes Kafir, because he feels happiness on disobeying Allah, instead of being ashamed of himself which is (an act of treason) BEWARE my brothers BEWARE!
Similarly, when a person tries to tell us something about Islam, we start making fun of him, like start asking too much questions or annoying him by asking too much stupid questions which also leads to Kufar sometimes and if a person dies in this state, we all know what he shall face!
Furthermore, we see many jokes forwarded on text messages on Hell fire, paradise, molvis, etc. We must fear Allah and immediately remove those text messgaes. We do not even care while making a funny joke on fire, and we all laugh vigorously on it whereas Sahabah used to cry and faint after hearing the name of Hell fire, but what do we do???!!!! We do not pay attention and ague, come on its just a JOKE!
Here are some important Suggestions:
-Whenever someone tries to say something about Islam, we must listen carefully with respect and humility. Be serious and do not defy or refute in any case, unless there is a problem with that and you have an evidence from Quran and Sunnah against what he said. If you do not have the evidence and proof, stay silent and accept it with heart unless you find out the proof against it, because the person is representing Allah and His Prophet:
يأيها الذين آمنوا لا ترفعوا اصواتكم فوق صوت النبي ولا تجهروا له بالقول كجهر بعضكم لبعض ان تحبط اعمالكم وأنتم لا تشعرون * الحجرات 2
“O you who have believed, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet or be loud to him in speech like the loudness of some of you to others, lest your deeds become worthless while you perceive not.”
Raising the voice means to give more value to your statements than the Hadith of the Prophet as described by Prophet of Allah himself when a companion stopped speaking after the revealation of this verse as he thought his voice to be louder than the Prophet’s. Therefore, to give logics and defying the Saheeh Hadith of the Prophet or the verses of Quran is strongly condemned by Islam and a person at anytime can enter into Kufar.
The Salaf had Ijmaa on this Point that refuting or defying any order of Allah intentioally is an apostacy. However, if a person accepts everything by heart but does not fulfill or carry out the commands of Allah and His Prophet, due to laziness or weakness of Faith, then he would be a sinful not Kafir.
-Similarly whoever laughs or jokes on your beard or anything Islamic, try your best to change the topic in order to save him from commiting Kufar.
-Whenever you meet with any ignorant, who do not pay much importance to Islam, say Salam and pass away silently and forbear!As Allah SWT said:
واذا خاطبهم الجاهلون قالوا سلاما * الفرقان
“and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace,”
-never ever argue without knowledge and especially with Scholars as they are much knowledgeable and know things which you may not be able to know after spending a long period, but yes the discussion is allowed with all due respect.
الذين يجادلون فى آياتنا بغير سلطان أتاهم كبر مقتا عند الله وعند الذين آمنوا كذالك يطبع الله على كل قلب متكبر جبار * الغافر 35
“Those who dispute (argue) concerning the signs of Allah without an authority having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allah and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allah seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.”
May Allah show us the right path and save us from such dangers which may become the cause of elimination of our deeds and our Islam! Ameen!

BOLLYWOOD MOVIES IMPACT:
Prostitutes are better than actresses cuz their sin is within the four walls, but these actresses accept huge sum of money to reveal almost all of their body in the movies, act out intimate and adult scenes on TV which is then viewed by millions all over the world in bigger than life size screens which is known to ppl as cinemas...the youth watcch it, the shaitaan incites them and they want to do the same stuff and feel tht same pleasure wich they saw on the big screen...this is the start of a chain reaction which has sowed the seed of zina among the ppl who were watching all that...
Thats why Allah in his infinite wisdom commanded the ummah in the Quran to not even get close to Zina...
We muslims shud start spreading awareness about the evils of movies and their impact on the mentality and intelligence of the younger generation. These movies are making the kids slaves of their sexual desires wich they want to now full fill in the haram way bcuz the halal way is not exciting (as compared to what the saw on the big screen)
We cannot support this industry by paying for their cinema ticket or purchasing their original DVDs.
If we now reflect on the statement of Iblees when he challenged ALlah that i will approach your men from the front, back, left and right...we realise that he has encourage mankind over generations to develop a system where each and every 'so called' important elements of life are nothing but invitation towards satanic deviations without the human being realising what is going on unless its too late...
We want our daughters to be Khadijah, Ayesha and Fathima...not Munni and Shela.

Early Marriage :
"This world is just temporary conveniences, and the best comfort in this world is a righteous women."Sahih Muslim 10/56, Kitab al-rida', bab istihbab nikah al-bikr. so this proves that where theres marriage in early age, then there Fahashi is driven out with a smooth kick on its back
People say studies r hurdles to marriage and money too..thers no such hurdle dear frnds..take the examples from Prophets life..NIKAH can be done early and the RUKHSATI later. Thats the solution.
Then wen Prophet S married, for the occasion, ther was usually a 1 dish thing wenever he didnt hav enuf money Sahabah Brot the dishes and wtever they could offer and this was how it was done wen Prophet S didnt hav enuf money for the occasion and he never had enuf money for HIMSELF. but yes fr EVERybody else who was poor and miskeen (orphan).

A Unique method of daawah:
"Yesterday I was going to lahore with my brother in law's cousin, in his car. So during the way i wanted to talk on prayer and to do dawah to him about praying and aqeeda. I didn't want to make the topic boring and say it in a dry style that he listens and then just think that "maulvi kehtey rehtay hain." Actually i observed my mosque imam sb who calls a person and directly says to him "Yar ap namaz kyu nahi parhtey?" And then he starts telling that person bundles of ahadith in a style like a chaudry telling a servant to do something. And embarrasing that person a lot and throwing too much on him. So i do not like this style. Therefore i thought of a strange hikma during the travel, which i want to share here :P I dont know if its good but it was very interesting experience that's why want to share.
I know a lot about free masons (new world order, capitalism, globalisation etc), jinns and magic. And i have talked to many people and given them demonstration of these three topics in details and related them. And ive observed that these topics really develop interest of the listeners and they become very excited. So i started with Free masons. He didn't know anything. So i first told him who they are, how they operate. Then told him about a former free mason "Roger marneau" who gave an interview and told some secrets about them (available at youtube). I told him that he was told in the gathering that he will be able to meet his dead parents and he really did meet. Later on he said that "i came to know they weren't actually my parents. They were demons who disguised my parents." So here i got a chance to talk of aqeeda. I told him that spirits cannot come back to the world and cannot listen to us and cant help us. Its actually jinns who can disguise them and fake peers use these jinns to deceive people.
Then i started talking about jinns and magic and jinn possession. He also told me some incidents related to jinns. He himself asked me ke jinns se protection ke liye kia karna chahiye. And here i got the chance. So i told that bey namazi people are prone to jinn possessions. People who pray five times are naturally protected by Allah Almighty and jinns run miles away from such a person. Then i told some other benefits of prayers and Alhamdulila it was very effective. Then i told him another important part of aqeeda. I told him about astrologers and how they operate. I told him about qareen (our companion jinn) and that astrologers and magicians call our qareen through theirs and they do meeting and ur qareen tells him everything about u since he knows u from childhood, therefore the astrologer or magician is able to predict a lot of things about u and tell u a lot about urself. So here i told him about fortune telling and horoscopes. Then i also mentioned that anyone who says Jinn is under my control is a liar. Because Hazrat Suleiman (AS) prayer to Allah to not give a kingdom like his to anyone else. So jinns were only under Hazrat Suleiman's control (by Allah's will) and jinns always take some work from u and then do urs. So Alhamdulila i explained him so much. It was a very interesting and useful talk :D."

WORDS ARE LIKE BULLETS
Of all the powerful weapons of destruction that man has invented, the most terrible – and the most cowardly – is the word.
Knives and firearms leave traces of blood.
Bombs shake whole buildings and streets.
Poisons can always be detected.
But a destructive word can provoke Evil without leaving behind it a single clue.
Children are subject to years of conditioning by their parents, artists are mercilessly pilloried, women are systematically undermined by remarks made by their husbands, the faithful are kept apart from religion by those who judge themselves capable of interpreting the voice of God.
Check to see if you yourself are using this weapon.
Check to see if someone is using this weapon on you.
And put a stop to both.

"O Sister, O you who spends hours infront of the mirror looking at herself,dont you know that ALLAH is watching you as you are sitting there or standing there..
O Sister who spends such large sums of money at the salon for the party, or the streets,
O Sister, HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY TO FIX YOUR LOOK IN FRONT OF ALLAH??..
O Sister I fear for you a Punishment, O sister I fear for you that you think that you will not die, WALLAHI YOU WILL DIE.
O Sister, Wallahi the guy you love, and who loves you, no matter how much you pay him, HE WILL NEVER WANT TO SPEND A NIGHT WITH YOU IN THE GRAVE!!!!"

Asalam o alaikum wr wb brothers & sisters
Its been long since i read some wake up call in this group. Something which could act as a strict reminder for all of us. So here i am trying to share something which really left me with mixed feelings of awe and fear. By Allah when i read about it, i felt it is for me. So i will share it with u people as a reminder too.
We all offer prayers daily and recite surah fatiha daily. I read something great about Surah Fatiha. Surah Fatiha is the first chapter of Quran and it defines the importance of knowledge and describes three types of people who have knowledge.
The first type is صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ
"the path of those upon whom You have bestowed Your favor." This category is represented in those who combine useful knowledge along with righteous deeds. These are the ones whom Allah has guided to the straight path because they after acquiring knowledge, also acted on it and Allah keeps them steadfast.
The second type is غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ"those who have evoked Your anger." This category is represented in those who learn useful knowledge but do not act accordingly. These are the ones who evoked Allah anger, like the jews.
The third type is الضَّالِّينَ
"those who are astray." This category is represented in those who act without having knowledge i-e useful and correct knowledge.
Now brothers & sisters, some ignorant people mistakenly believe that these two qualites i-e those who invoke Allah's anger and those who went astray, are restricted to Jews and the Christians only, forgetting that Allah commands us to recite these verses and seek refuge from such a condition, daily atleast 17 times (counting only fard rakahs). Now what shook me was the attribute of Jews. I just felt that this applies to me. We gain a lot of knowledge, share a lot of knowledge, talk a lot about Islam. But the question is. Is our life according to Islam? Are we not acting like the jews who had the knowledge but yet they turned away from Allah's obedience and didn't act? Are we practicing what we preach? Or are we also like the jews:
"Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment." (2:85)
