RIGHT WAY


"Therefore stand firm on the right way as you are commanded, together with those  who have turned from unbelief to belief in Allah, and do not transgress, surely He is watching what you do.   Do not be inclined to those who are unjust, lest you be seized by the fire, and you will not have any protector besides Allah, nor will you be helped.  

Establish Salah at the two ends of the day and in the early part of the night.  Indeed virtues remove evil.  This is a reminder for the mindful. Be patient; for sure Allah does not let the reward of the righteous be wasted."  Quran, Hud, 11:112-115

TRUE BELIEVERS

"The true believers, both men and women, are protectors of one another.  They enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil; they establish Salah, pay Zakah, and obey Allah and His Rasool.  It is they on whom Allah will have His mercy; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise. Allah has promised the believers both men and women, gardens beneath which rivers flow, to live therein forever, and they will have beautiful mansions in these gardens of everlasting bliss.  Best of all they will have the good pleasure of Allah.  Now that is the highest achievement."  Quran, At-Tauba, 9, 71-72

MOHAMMAD Sullul laa-ho aley-hay wasallum

"Those who follow the Rasool, the unlettered prophet (Mohammad) - whom they shall find described in the Tawrat (Tarah) and the Ingeel (Gospel),  who enjoins them what is good and forbids them what is evil; who makes pure things halal (lawful) for them and impure thing haram (unlawful); who relieves them from their heavy burdens and from their yolks that are around their necks. Therefore, those who believe in him, honor him, help him , and follow the Light which is sent down with him, will be the ones who will be successful.

O' Mohammad say, "O' Mankind!  I am the Rasool of Allah towards all of you, from the One to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens, there is no deity but Him.  He brings to life and causes to die.  Therefore believe in Allah and His Rasool, the unlettered prophet (Mohammad) who believes in Allah and His Word.  Follow him so that you may be rightly guided."  Quran, Al-Araf, 7: 157-158

MOHAMMED SAID ...

"O' Mohammad, tell them, "As for me, surely my Rabb has guided me to the Right Way, the ever true Deen, the faith of Ibraheem, the upright, who was not of the mushrikeen." Also say, "Surely, my Salah, my sacrifices, my life and  my death are all for Allah, the Rabb of the worlds. He has no partner, thus am I commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims."  Say, "Should I seek another Rabb besides Allah when He is the Rabb of everything?"  Every soul will reap the fruits of its own deeds; no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another.  Ultimately you will return to your Rabb and He will resolve for you your disputes.  He is the One Who has made you inheritors of the earth and raised some of you in ranks over others so that He may test you in what He has given you. Surely, your Rabb is swift in retribution, yet, He is very Forgiving and Merciful."  Quran, Al-Anam, 6: 161-165

ALLAH - I



"Surely it is Allah Who causes the seed and the fruit-stone to split and sprout.  He brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living.  It is Allah who does all this; then why are you being mislead.  He causes the daybreak from the dark.  He makes the night for rest and makes the rising of the sun and the moon for you to determine times (days, weeks, months and years); these are the arrangements of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.  He is the One who has made the stars for you so that you may find your way thereby in the darkness whether you are in the land or the sea.  We have spelled out Our revelations very clearly for people of common sense.  He is the One who has created you from a single soul and granted you dwelling on Earth and a resting place in the Hereafter.  We have spelled out Our revelations very clearly for people of understanding.  It is He Who sends down rainwater from the sky and therewith produces vegetation of all  kinds.  He bring forth green crops producing grain piled up in the ear, palm trees laden with cluster of dates hanging within reach, gardens of grapes, olives, and pomegranates; though their fruits resemble in kind  yet is different in variety.  Look at their fruits as they yield and ripen.  Behold! In these things there are signs for true believers."  Quran, Al-Anam, 6: 95-99

ALLAH


 "He (Allah) Alone has the keys of the unseen, no one knows them except Him.  He knows whatever is in the land and the sea; there is not a single leaf that falls without His knowledge; there is neither a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry which is not recorded in a Clear Book.  He is the One Who takes your souls at night (makes you go to sleep) and knows whatever you do in the day, then the next day raises you up again to complete your allotted  span of life.  To Him you shall all return, then He will notify you of all that you have done."  Quran, Al-Anam, 6: 59-60

REAL FRIENDS

"O Believers!  Do not take for protecting friends, those from among the people who were given the Book before you and the unbelievers, who have made your religion a mockery and pastime, fear Allah if you are true believers. When you call for Salah (prayer), they make it an object of mockery and pastime, this is because they are a people devoid of understanding.  Tell them , " O' people of the Books!  What makes you against us other than that we believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what was revealed before?  The fact is that most of you are rebellious transgressors."  Say, "Should I tell you of those who will have even worse than this in retribution from Allah?  They are those whom Allah has cursed; who have incurred His wrath; some of those were turned to apes and pigs; who worshiped Tagoot (false deities - Shaitan); are worse in rank and far more astray from the Right Way."  Quran, Al-Maidah, 57-60

ALLAH'S MESSAGE THRUOUGH PROPHETS

 
"We have sent revelations to you (Prophet Mohammed) just as We sent to Nuh and the Prophets, who came after him.  We also sent revelations to Ibrahemm, Ismaeel, Ishaaq,   Ya'qoob, his decendants, Isa, Ayyub, Yunus, Haroon and Sulaiman and to David, We gave the Psalms.  Revelations were also sent to those Rasools whom We have already mentioned to you and those Rasools whose names We have not mentioned.  All these Rasools conveyed good news to mankind and admonished them, so that after conveying the message to them through the Rasools people should have no excuse to plead against Allah.  Allah is Mighty, Wise."  Quran, An-Nisa, 4: 163-165

SHIRK / SHAITAN

"Surely, Allah will never forgive the one who commits shirk (worship any one other than Him) and may forgive anyone else, if He so pleases. One who commits shirk has indeed gone far away from the right way. The pagans call on female deities beside Him; by doing so they call nothing but the rebellious Shaitan, on whom Allah has laid His curse; and who has said, "I will take a good portion of Your servants and mislead them.  I will create in them false desires and order them to slit the ears of cattle. I will order them to tamper with Allah's creation."    Therefore, whoever takes Shaitan as a guardian over Allah, has indeed become a clear cut loser.  Shaitan makes promises to stir in them false desires; but Shaitan's promises are nothing but deception. The home of such people who follow him will be hell from where they will find no way to escape." Quran, An-Nisa, 4: 116-121

COMMANDS


 "Serve Allah and do not commit shirk (associate any partner with Him) and be good to your parents, relatives, orphans, the helpless, near and far neighbors who keep company with you, the travelers  in need, and the slaves you own.  Allah does not love those who are arrogant and boastful, who are themselves stingy and enjoin others to be stingy, who hide the bounties that Allah has bestowed on them.  For such unbelievers We have prepared a disgraceful punishment.  Similar punishment has been prepared for those who spend their wealth to show off to the people, believing neither in Allah nor the Last Day.  In fact the one who chooses Shaitan as his companion has chosen a very evil companion."  Quran, An-Nisa 4: 36-38

DAWA


"Let there arise from you a band of people who should invite to righteousness, enjoin good and forbid evil; such are the ones who shall be successful.  Be not like those, who became divided into sects and who started to argue against each other after clear revelations had come to them." Quran, Al-e-Imran 3: 104-105

SHAHEED

"O Believer! Do not let the unbelievers who speak of those brethren of theirs who die during their travels on the earth or while engaged in fighting, "Had they but stayed with us they would not have died or been killed." Allah makes such thinking a cause of regret and anguish in their hearts.  It is Allah Who gives life and death.  Allah is observant of all your actions.  If  you should die or get killed in the cause of Allah, His forgiveness and mercy will be far better than all the riches you can gather.  Whether you die or get killed, all of you will be brought before Allah."  Quran, Al-e-Imran, 3:156-158

USARY & GOOD PEOPLE

"O Believers!  Do not consume usary which is compounded over and over again.  Have fear of Allah so that you may prosper.  Guard yourself against the Fire which is prepared for the unbelievers.  Obey Allah and His Rasool so that you may be shown mercy. Rush towards forgiveness from your Rabb to a paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth which is prepared for the righteous people, those who spend generously in the Way of Allah, whether they are in prosperity or in adversity, who control their anger and forgive other people.  Allah loves such charitable people who, if they commit an indecency or wrong their own souls, earnestly remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins, for no one can forgive sins except Allah, and those who do not knowingly persist in something wrong which they have done.  Such people will be rewarded with forgiveness from their Rabb beside gardens beneath which rivers flow and live therein forever.  How excellent is the reward for such laborers."  Quran, Al-e-Imran, 3:130-136

BELIEF

 
"Some of the People of the Book say to one another, "Believe in what is revealed to the believers (Muslims) in the morning and deny it in the evening, so that they (Muslims) may follow suit and abandon their faith. Do not believe anyone except the one who follows your own religion." O' (Mohammad) tell them, "The only true guidance is the guidance of Allah."  Quran, A'l-e-Imran, 3:72-73

CHARITY


"The parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah, is that of a grain that sprouts seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains.  Allah gives manifold increase to whom He wishes.  Allah is All-Sufficient for His creature's needs and All-Knowing.  Those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah and do not follow their charity with reminders of their generosity or injure the feelings of the recipient, shall have their reward from their Rabb, they shall have nothing to fear or to grieve.  Kind words and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury.  Allah is Self-Sufficient, Forbearing."  Quran, Al-Baqarah, 2: 261-263

BELIEF

"The Rasool has believed in the Guidance that has been revealed to him from his Rabb and so do the believers.  They all believe in Allah, His angels, His books and His rasools.  They say, "We do not discriminate against anyone of His rasools", and they say, "We hear and we obey.  Grant us Your forgiveness, O' our Rabb, to you we shall all return."  Allah does not burden any human being with more than he can bear.  Everyone will enjoy the credit of his deeds and suffer the debit of his wrong doings.  The believers say, "Our Rabb!  Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake.  Our Rabb!  Do not place on us a burden as You placed on those before us.  Our Rabb!  Lay not on us the kind of burden that we do not have the strength to bear.  Pardon us, forgive us, have mercy on us.  You are our Protector, help us against the unbelievers."  Quran, Al-Baqara, 2: 285-286

TALUT, JALUT AND DAUD

"Their (children of Israel) Prophet told them, "Allah has appointed Talut (Saul) as your king."  They replied, "How can he be our king when some of us are more deserving then he? Besides he is not rich." The Prophet said, "Allah has chosen him to rule over you and has blessed him with more knowledge and a bigger stature.  Allah grants kingship to whom He pleases and Allah is All-Sufficient for His creature's needs and All-Knowing." Furthermore, their Prophet told them, "The sign of his appointment as a king is that there will come to you the chest in which there is tranquility from your Rabb, the residue of relics which the family of Musa and the family of Haroon (Aaron) left behind, and that chest will be carried by the angels, therein is a sign for you if you are true believers. 

When Talut marched forth with his army, he said, "Allah will test you at a certain river, anyone who will drink from its water, shall cease to be my soldier and those who will not drink to quench their thirst with its water except a sip or so from the hollow of their hands shall fight on my side."  They all drank from it, in spite of this warning, except a few of them....

When they advanced to face Jalut (Goliath) and his warriors they prayed, "Our Rabb fill our hearts with steadfastness, make our steps firm and help us (give us victory) against the unbelievers."  They put the unbelievers to flight by the leave of Allah and Daud (David) killed Jalut."  Quran, Al-Baqarah, 2:247-251
