A TREE IS KNOWN BY THE FRUIT IT PRODUCES
Many of us, at some point of our lives, must have thought that what are we doing and where we are going. At this point it is very useful to take a look at whom we following and from where we getting directions. In this regard there is a very useful rule: "A Tree is known by the fruit it produces."
Today, many of us, especially youth are following the Western and Bollywood ideology of life. And we are doing that blindly. However, we should sometime put a stop to all that and think about this tree and what kind of fruits it producing.
What they show on screen is a 60 to 90 minutes of fancy lifestyle and happy moments. However what goes on behind the screen and what impact, those infront of the screen take, is important. Most people call Maulvis, Mullahs as hypocrites. That maybe true in some cases. However, if we compare on a mass scale, the most hypocrite people on this planet are the actors, singers, anchors, jokers etc etc. The simple definition of hypocrisy is when you preach something on which you yourself dont act. If we look at their lifestyle, they are the most ill mannered, the most bad ikhlaq, the most arrogant and rude, the most short tempered, the most selfish people on earth. Lying, Backbiting, envy & jealousy, double facedness, dirty politics, immorality, playing with other people's emotions, using others like a tissue paper are daily routine acts of these people. You dont believe it, just keep a check at news related to scandals of these super starts. What kind of characters they have will become obvious from that.
Some of them preach peace and happy moments, however they themselves die drinking or committing suicide. For money they can do role of a Muslim, a hindu, an athiest, an immoral person, a righteous person, a depressed person, a happy person, a tyrant, a just person, a homosexual, a prostitute etc. So what actually is their real character and what is their real self? What they preach and how they really are? Are they good enough to be made ideals and followed is the big question!
People, especially young ones curse mullahs a lot and bring examples from lives of mullahs and say "They are hypocrites!" and use this as an excuse for not practicing Islam. However they do not realize that while making comparison, there should be a balance. For example if i compare two things, they should be of somewhat same level. I cannot bring the best piece of one object and the worst of second and compare them. This is foolishness. What most of us do is bring the worst example of people practicing Islam (some maulvis bad acts) and compare them with the best example of politician, actor, singer, poet, journalist etc. This is unfair. This is not even a comparison. If you want to compare, then pick the best personality from Islam i-e Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and then pick your best man, and then i will see what you compare. If you want comparison then lets pick the worst person from the ideals we have (actors, singers, politicians etc) and the worst mullah, and i can bet that still i am going to have the mullah as a better and less harmful person to the society! I repeat again: WORST VS THE WORST. Not Worst vs You or Worst vs Allama Iqbal.
Stop deceiving yourself brothers & sisters. The tree which you are following is producing nothing but rotten apples. A depressing and pathetic life awaits you if you still dont decide whom to really follow. What this tree produces can be seen from the social structure of the west and that is enough as an example. May Allah help us understand. aameen
TRAPS OF THIS AGE
Asalam o alaykum wr wb. Brothers & sisters i want to draw all your attention to a very important issue. I'll try to make it as short as possible. So i come to the main point. If u people have read the history of how the jews took control of the christians and united with them, you people must know that it was by inducting secularism and slowly and gradually erasing religion from their lives. There used to be a time when the jews were prohibited to enter christian regimes. The christians used to severely beat and kick every jew out of their regime and jews lived many years in ghettos. The reason for this was their religious difference which was so massive. Christians believed jesus to be son of god while jews believed him to be an imposter, an illegitimate child (nauzbillah). Imagine the massive difference. Jews were the murderers of jesus in christians minds.
Due to this colossal difference between religious ideologies, the jews knew they would never be able to unite and take control of the christians. They very well knew that as long as religion is there, it is impossible to control people. So they devised a plan to challenge religious thoughts of the christians and to induct a new system known as secularism. They challenged the church and bible through science and slowly and gradually they started to instill in people's mind that christianity is flawed and backward. Once the religious mindedness of people would fade away, jews were sure that now they could rule over them. It is how they introduced a new system of secularism (religion has no interference in politics and our affairs of life).
If you see today, history is repeating itself and our enemies are doing the same with all the muslim world. A massive flood of secularism is being imposed on the Muslim world through their strongest weapon - media. Anyone who knows what secularism is, and a little bit history about how jews took control of the christians, would clearly see the gradual technique being used by the media to instill this concept in the Muslim world. I would just quote a few examples which you people yourselves could notice.
1- Through talkshows
Today people are being brainwashed gradually by being told about freedom of speech. This freedom of speech has reached its peak to such an extent that now Islam is being challenged openly in talkshows and everything that the blacksheeps among Muslims do is being related to Islam and common folks are being frightened by the name of Islam. Political and social structure of Islam is being degraded in the shows (indirectly) by arranging some foolish debates on Islamic system vs democracy. The effect of these shows is that today every kid in the corner is becoming a debater and scholar of Islam and talks about Islam like its a 2 kori (2 penny) ki cheez. the value of Islam has been lessened to such an extent.
2- Through advertisements
Advertisements related to bank schemes, insurance. A beautiful life is shown with these schemes and hence they trapping more and more of us into RIBA.
3- Through entertainment shows
Entertainment shows are designed in such a way that firstly no mention of Islam is being made in any show. It is being shown as a totally different entity enclosed in a masjid. Even if something about Islam is shown, it is a very apologetic image of Islam like huquq ul ibad and being good human being. Free mixing of sexes is being shown in such a way like there is nothing wrong in it and everyone is very sincere to eachother and all those who condemn free mixing are backward and ill confident mullahs. Hence conditioning people to accept all this filth and when something from Islam is quoted to condemn such activities, people immediately turn it down since all this immorality has become so common in their lives and they see it day and night.
4- Through dramas & movies
Anything which lowers the status of Islam and Allah Almighty is a part of the secularism propaganda. Today the subcontinent dramas and movies are all about love relationship with a girl. The purpose of life of an average teenage has become chasing a girl and it has become the biggest fantasy of every teenager. The love which was to be for Allah has been replaced with a girl since the hero is shown to fight and die for the girl.
5- Through "religious" shows
Shocking? Isn't it? Yes the only picture of Islam acceptable to our enemies is Sufism and Shiasm. Sorry if i hurt anyone. But it is quite clear that the "Qismat ka hal bataney waley" or "Sitarey kia kehtey hain" or "Istakhara karney waley", all belong to these two ideologies and they are being promoted and their shows are everywhere on the tv channels. This is a propaganda to weaken people's relation with Allah Almighty since they are to rely more on these so-called experts who tell them the problems of their solutions. This is to weaken their eman and make them superstitious, since the one who believes in qadr and has sound aqeedah would never complain about what's happening and would be of a strong character. But these shows are designed to take eman away from a person.
Brothers & Sisters save yourselves from this flood. It is becoming more and more obvious day by day. Through all of the above mentioned techniques (and i summarized it otherwise there is so much to tell), our enemies are doing the same which they did with christians. On screen they show they are secularists and believe in freedom of speech, but i swear to Allah, the One except Whom there is no God, they are cutter followers of their religion and fighting for their religion and are preparing a stage for their messiah "Dajjal". They want us to gradually believe that Islam is a backward and faulty religion as well and they want us to treat Islam as just a bunch of rituals and nothing else. By Allah its happening, i can see with my very own eyes. I have seen a childhood friend turning to athiest with my own eyes. Wallahi. Open your eyes. OPEN YOUR MINDS! Turn to Allah, spread this message before you see your loved ones get into this trap.

GIVING WASTA OF RASUL ALLAH (s.a.w) IN DUA
Asalam o alaikum wr wb. Many people have asked me this question and this issue is a confusion among many people so im sharing some very important points related to this issue. It is consensus of early scholars that the wasta of rasul Allah (s.a.w) cannot be given in dua. People ask why? Whats the problem? The problem is that this can lead to shirk in Allah's attributes. HOW???
When a person says "Ya Allah apko Rasul ka wasta, sahaba ka wasta, waliyon ka wasta..." while making dua, the person is actually saying that someone has a right over Allah. Meaning that Allah Almighty is being made bound to answer the supplication. Brothers & sisters this is shirk in Allah's attribute: Al Aziz (The defeater Who is not defeated), 'Al Jabbar' (The Compeller Who cannot be compelled), Al-Mutakabbir (The imperious), 'Al Qawee' (The One with complete power), 'Al Matin' (The One with extreme power). Imagine the meanings of these attributes and names of Allah Almighty and then imagine can you force Allah Almighty to accept a dua by giving wasta of someone? The concept behind wasta as already described above is that Allah will be bound to accept it and wont be able to deny the dua. Nauzbillah. If this is not shirk then what is shirk?? People give examples of president that you have to go there with some reference. The thing is that why we need a reference??? It is to put pressure on some authority to accept your case. Can Allah Almighty be put pressure? The thing is that president is a human being and has some weaknesses, whereas Allah Rabbul aalameen is "As Salam" (The one free from all defects and shortcomings)
"The phrase “By the right of so-and-so,” even if he had a right over Allaah on account of a promise that He had made to him, has no relation to Allaah’s response to the supplication of the supplicator. It is as if he said, “Since so-and-so is one of your devoted servants, answer my prayer.” What is the relationship between the two and what requires the other to be answered? This is actually an act of trespassing the limits of supplications. Allaah has said: “Call on your Lord with humility and in private; for He does not like those who trespass the limits” [7: 55] [This] manner of beseeching Allaah is an innovation. It has never been narrated from the Prophet (s), any of his Companions, nor any of the Successors and not from any of the Imaams; it is only found in the temples and amulets that are written by ignorant people and the Soofee Tareeqahs." (Commentary on 'The Radiance of faith' Page 94)
First of all, there are some very common traits which i am sure we all know and need not discuss. These are: Ikhlas (khalis niyat) to Allah, Trust in Allah, Dua to Allah etc. However I want to discuss some traits which we lack and must give attention to. This may get lengthy, but very beneficial for those who are sincere.
1- PROPER KNOWLEDGE OF DEEN BEFORE STEPPING INTO THIS FIELD
Prophet sallalaho alayhi wassalam said: "Seeking of knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim." (Ibn Majah, 1/224. Tirmidhi 218)
The scholars are unanimous that the word "Knowledge" in this hadith means Islam.
Some people think that they are born scholars and they do not need to learn any knowledge. However Allah Almighty praised those who have knowledge and asked a simple question to such people:
"...Say: 'Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know?" (39:9)
"..Allah will raise up, to ranks those of you who believe and have been granted knowledge." (58:11)
Gaining basic knowledge before entering the field of dawah is very important. Basic knowledge includes Study of Holy Quran translation, Aqeedah, Ahadith books like Riyad us saliheen, Basic Fiqh books like bulugh ul maram and biography of Holy Prophet pbuh. Reading biography is most important. Because it is what will teach us how to give dawah. Gaining knowledge doesn't at all mean going to madrassa for 8 years. However it also doesn't mean reading 1 ayah of Quran and 1 hadith and thinking oneself to be scholar. Usually young people are involved in this where they read some ayah or hadith and they think they have got it all and they can talk on anything. What happens is that they do not only deviate themselves but also make others run away from Islam. Prophet Muhammad sallalaho alayhi wassalam said:
"Facilitate things to people (concerning religious matters), and do not make it hard for them and give them good tidings and do not make them run away (from Islam)." ( Sahih Bukhari-Book 3, Number 69)
Beware of doing this brothers & sisters. We may end up explaining some ayah or hadith, or fitting it somewhere, in a manner, which is not actually intended by Allah & His messenger. And ive seen many young people do that. We need to be very very careful in this. Its a serious SERIOUS crime.
2- ADOPTING A MODERATE APPROACH
What is a moderate approach? To know the answer of this question, first of all we need to know our circle of daawah. The scholars defined this circle to be:
1- Family --- 2- Relatives --- 3- Neighbours & Friends --- 4- Local Community --- 5- National --- 6- International
However, many of us especially young people run this circle completely opposite like:
1- International --- 2- National --- 3- Local community .......
This is not at all a wise thing to do and is also against sunnah. We want to target & do huge things while not knowing our calibre and responsibilities. Prophet sallalaho alayhi wassalam said:
"..Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately.' (Sahih Bukhari 8/470)
Also Allah Almighty taught us moderation and deliberation through His own amal. Strange? Ibn Qayyim when asked about the question "Why did Allah create the Heavens & Earth in 6 days when He could have created in split seconds by saying "KUN FAYA KOON"?
One of the reasons, among 6,7 reasons that Ibn Qayyim (r) mentioned while answering this was:
"Allah wanted to teach His creation deliberation & moderation. And this is a GREAT parable. If Rabbul Aalameen, the One free from all faults is adopting deliberation, then how about us, full of faults human beings?"
So we need to be very careful. This is an age of immense flood of Islamic knowledge everywhere, especially on the internet. U can see one video of some scholar and THAT'S IT! U will say "I WILL DO SUCH AND SUCH THING." And then u get indulged in that thing. Later on u see another video and u say "I WILL ALSO DO THIS!" And then u get indulged in another thing. Later on u see some organization and u say "I WILL MAKE SUCH AN ORG. TOO." And that is how u get too much excited and get involved in so many things that it becomes impossible for u to handle all and u end up doing nothing. Be moderate brothers & sisters. See your calibre, see how much knowledge you have, see are u fulfiling farz responsibilities and:
"..keep your duty to Allah and fear Him as much AS YOU CAN." (64:16)
May Allah help us adopt moderation and do deeds in which we are constant. Aameen
CONCLUSION:
This field is such vast that this post does not justify this topic at all. I wanted to discuss so many things but thought that people would get afraid by seeing the length of this post. So Insha Allah i will discuss in episodes. This series is "To be continued.." and insha Allah in next i will discuss "Not boring people" & "Hikmah" with details and examples insha Allah.
Asalam o alaykum. Many people keep asking me why I always advise them to study about aqeedah issues and make aqeedah strong. So here is just one branch of aqeedah i am sharing and the benefit it can bring. Belief in Qadar (destiny). It might be long. But i dont care. You people have to read this if you want so many of your matters come to ease.
1- It is from completion of Eemaan and Eemaan is incomplete without it.
2- Security from Shirk. Many people who do not have a firm belief and knowledge about qadr, fall into idolatrous beliefs and even challenge Allah Almighty on some occassions like the bollywood kaafirs who make songs like "Tarap tarap ke is dil se ah nikalti rahi. Mujko saza di pyar ki. Aisa kia gunah kia?"
3- It allows humans referring their affairs to their Lord Allah. Because humans know that everything is according to Allah's destiy. They will turn to Him in times of difficulty to repel and remove it from them (by making dua), and they will attribute their times of good to Allah and know that it is a favor from Him. Hence knowing their status at all times and not to complain and be ungrateful in hard times and not to be proud when they do good.
4- Calamities become easier to deal with when humans know that they are ultimately from Allah as a test.
5- Attribution of worldly pleasures like wealth etc, to their true source prevents their attribution to their immediate providers. Hence one only bows to Allah, not to their bosses or masters.
6- Humans come to know their Lord and attain His nearness and come to know His wisdom through belief in Qadr. If they reflect on the creation and the incredible things occuring in it, they become aquainted with Allah's wisdom.
THE CHARACTER THAT BELIEF IN DIVINE DECREE (QADR) BUILDS:
1- A patient personality
Proper knowledge that whatever happens is by Allah's decree gives one the ability to patiently bear the most difficult of times. When things do not happen as planned, the person with strong aqeedah accepts that there must be Allah's wisdom in that and this thought saves him/her from so many depressions and diseases. There are so many cases in the west when one person loses a job or wealth or doesn't get married to a girl (especially Hindu foolish culture), they commit suicide.
2- A contended personality
Knowledge that whatever wealth is gathered was already written gives the individual a sense of contentment when he or she fails in their effort to gain more. The person with strong aqeedah is hence encouraged to strive to attain the best of the afterworld. Because he/she is in a contended state.
3- A stable personality
Belief in destiny also keeps one from falling into despair or from being consumed with regrets and daydreams about what might have been. It also makes a person stable in the sense that he/she will remain free from extremes of happiness that cause one to forget Allah and the extremes of sadness that cause the ignorant to lose hope and blame Allah.
So imagine my brothers & sisters, what person we will become if we get proper knowledge of aqeedah and about Allah and what is our reality. All our problems can be overcome if we become the personality mentioned above. Are u still not convinced we should build our aqeedah more and more strong?
Another Important point is Belief in destiny and having a strong aqeedah will also save us going from sooth sayers and peers and magicians and astrologers etc. Because we Know the Sift of Allah Almighty with firm heart. And that Sift (attribute) is "AL HAKEEM" (THE MOST WISE). So we know whatever Allah has decided for us has immense wisdom and we don't have to worry about what will happen or what shouldn't have happened. We just need to turn to Allah Almighty, the One in whose Hands all affairs are.
THE MOVIES & TV SERIALS SYNDROMEThere are many harmful effects of watching movies & tv series. The most dangerous of them is that movies & tv series destroy our understanding of true aqeedah about life, and that a person starts living in wonderlands and gets more and more away from real life.
Movies & TV serials are like stimulators. Let me give one example. There can be some bad memory of yours, which is not that much bad and deep rooted in you. But then suddenly, you watch DEVDAS, or maybe you watch some pathetic ultra sad movie or tv serial of some low-life loser character, and all of a sudden all your bad memories are stimulated and you go into a sad condition as well! And this 1 day when u are in this condition, can effect lots of your matters. This is what these things do. They are like stimulators. And can stimulate very dangerous things inside u. To mention another:
SEXUAL DESIRES!
And here is the most DANGEROUS of all effects!! And that is for sure ---->
Anyone who watches Movies & Tv series on a very regular basis, loses his/her own personality and tries to act like what he/she sees. From talking style to thinking. Everything becomes that of the movie or tv serial characters. And this thing is so dangerous, that this even effects lots of decisions which we people take in LIFE! YES! IN "REAL LIFE". And believe me. That is a huuuge thing!
When our life decisions are based on inspiration from movies & tv series and lousy characters, then that is the ultimate limit of pathetic-ness and this means we are useless & nothing. Because anyone who loose their own personality and become the character of some movie or tv serial, and allow it to effect them to such an extent that it not only starts effecting their speech and body language BUT ALSO life decisions and become a criteria for them of 'what to do in life', then that means that person is a LOSER and a useless blind follower who has no self-respect what so ever and who bends to every wind flowing out there. Even if some TV actor tells them to take out their undergarment and put it on their face and become cool spider man. Trust me: THEY WILL!!
And believe me, that is one of the characteristics of dajjal that he will attract people like this and many will get attracted. (im not calling tv a dajjal, i believe dajjal to be a person but i consider these tools to be his best weapons). So make your choice everyone. Whether to let your life go on like this and become blind followers of movie & tv serial characters (dajjal) OR to have a free thinking mind and personality of your own. I mean COME ON! Have some self respect. You are no puppet. You have a thinking mind and a heart.
If you truly want to be a follower and follow someone in talking style and walking and thinking etc etc, then that 1 perfect person on this earth is Prophet Muhammad (sallalaho alayhi wassalam). Try to copy him without any shame or hesitation, and then see the changes it brings to your life. Trust me. Sisters you wont have to call QTV for your problems if you do that. Brothers you wont have to live a low life if you do that. Trust me. I am trying insha Allah. Lets vow to try to copy him insha Allah from this day onwards. O Allah give us istaqamah. Aaameen
BE PROUD OF YOUR RELIGIONAlhamdulilah. Allahumma salli wassalim ala nabbiyina Muhammad.
Qaum mazhab se hai, mazhab jo nahin, tum bhi nahi
Jazb-e-baham jo nahin, mehfil-e-anjum bhi nahi
The voice of my heart is for all those who are shameful about their religion. Who lower their heads with shame and become apologetic when Islam is attacked or blamed for something. Who do not keep a beard because they are way too sensitive about what the society will say. Who do not cover their heads and cover their bodies because of sense of inferiority complex and fear of being ridiculed in the society. Who feel shame in taking name of their Lord Allah and praising Him infront of people. Who feel shame in saying "ASALAM O ALAIKUM" or replying to salam. Who feel shame in playing tilawat on their stereo sytem. Who feel shame to sit in first row in religious khutbas.
O YOU WHO ARE APOLOGETIC ABOUT YOUR RELIGION!
Know that the Kafir is not shameful about his religion. See a Hollywood movie, Tv series, Tv show, comedy show and notice how often they say "JESUS" when something bad or unpleasant or surprising happens. Write "Statue of Liberty in popular culture" on wikipedia, and see how much reference is made to it either by showing it or mentioning it. Its shown at start of some movies as well. What is statue of liberty? Go to Bible. Read book of Revelations, to know who this idol is.
See a bollywood movie. They show their idols or puuja of them before the start of movie. They refer to their idols so much in their movies. They show scences of praying and bowing to their idols so much in their dramas and movies. They even make songs "harey karishna harey raam" and make muslims chant these songs. They even name their movies "Om jai jagdeesh". They even name their characters "Parvati" and show her as an ideal follower of their so-called goddess parvati and promote that every girl should be like her. They make so much reference to their traditions like mangal suutar etc. Man they are so proud!
But what do we have? Girls named khadija ayesha etc in dramas promoting examples of Mother Khadija and Mother ayesha? We have weddings, but with Muslim traditions or Hindu? We have media promoting Islamic culture or Hindu & western?
You fools! Don't you get it? We are being deceived. They are making us apologetic of our religion and telling us that they are secular but in reality they are firm on their religion and promoting their religion and imposing their religion on us. Did Allah Almighty say this to arabs of 7th century only?
"Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you till (they make) you follow their RELIGION." (2:120)
They have movie makers like mel gibson who makes a movie on his faith and feels no shame or fear infront of billions of people and tells them that jews killed jesus. But what do we have? Apologetic men like Shoaib Mansoor. Media like geo tv. Print media like express tribune. Defaming their own people, defaming their own religion. Telling all the world that YES WE ARE BAD. Come give us your religion.
All this condition of us reminds me of the couplet of Jawab e shikwa:
Haath bezor haiN, ilhad se dil khugar haiN
Ummati baa'is-e-ruswai-e-paighambar haiN.
Butshikan uth gaye, baaqi jo rahe butgar haiN
Tha Brahim pidar, aur pisar Azar haiN.
