LISTED BELOW ARE WAYS TO INCREASE OUR IMAAN

1) Recite and ponder on the meanings of the Quran. Tranquility then
descends and our hearts become soft. To get optimum benefit, remind yourself that Allah is speaking to you. People are described in different categories in the Quran; think of which one you find yourself in.

2) Realize the greatness of Allah. Everything is under His control.
There are signs in everything we see that points us to His greatness.
Everything happens according to His permission. Allah keeps track and looks after everything, even a black ant on a black rock on a black moonless night.

3) Make an effort to gain knowledge, for at least the basic things in
daily life e.g. how to make wudu properly. Know the meanings behind Allah's names and attributes. People who have taqwa are those who have knowledge.

4) Attend gatherings where Allah is remembered. In such gatherings we
are surrounded by angels.

5) We have to increase our good deeds. One good deed leads to another
good deed. Allah will make the way easy for someone who gives charity and also make it easy for him or her to do good deeds. Good deeds must be done continuously, not in spurts.

6) We must fear the miserable end to our lives; the remembrance of
death is the destroyer of pleasures.

7) Remember the different levels of akhirah, for instance when we are
put in our graves, when we are judged, whether we will be in paradise or hell.

8) Make dua, realize that we need Allah. Be humble. Don't covet
material things in this life.

9) Our love for Subhana Wa Ta'Ala must be shown in actions. We must
hope Allah will accept our prayers, and be in constant fear that we do
wrong. At night before going to sleep, we must think about what good we did during that day.

10) Realize the effects of sins and disobedience- one's imaan is
increased with good deeds and our imaan is decreased by bad deeds. Everything that happens is because Allah wanted it. When calamity befalls us- it is also from Allah. It is a direct result of our disobedience to Allah.

 

Understanding Islam

Islam is the way of life that Allah sent the Prophet Muhammad with. By it, Allah terminated the validity of all other religions, perfected this religion for His worshippers, completed His favour upon them and has chosen only this religion for them - no other religion will be accepted by Him from anyone. Allah - the Most High - said:" Muhammad is not the father of any man amongst you. Rather he is the Messenger of Allah and the khaatim (last and final) of the Prophets." [Soorah al-Ahzaab 33:40].

"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion." [Soorah al-Maatidah 5:3].

"Indeed the religion with Allah is Islam." [Soorah Aal-'lmraan 3:19].

"Whosoever seeks a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers." [Soorah Aal-'Imraan 3:85].

And Allah - the Most High - obligated all of mankind to take Islam as their religion. So Allah said, whilst addressing His Messenger "Say: O mankind! Indeed I have been sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah ; to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. None has the right to be worshipped except Him; it is He who gives life and causes death. So believe in Allah and His Messenger - the Prophet who can neither read nor write - who believes in Allah and His Words. So follow the Messenger of Allah so that you may be rightly-guided." [Soorah al-A'raaf 7:158].

And eemnan (faith) in the Prophet implies: affirming that which he was sent with, along with acceptance of it and submission to it. Without these two matters, mere affirmation is not sufficient. This is why even though Abu Taalib (the Prophet's uncle) affirmed what was sent to the Prophet Muhammad sallAllah u 'alayhi wa sallam and that Islam was the best of religions, yet he did not accept his message nor submit to it; and thus he did not have eemaan, in the Prophet sallAllah u 'alayhi wa sallam.

[2] The religion of Islam contains all that was beneficial from the previous religions. It is suitable for implementation in any age, any where and by any nation. Allah - the Most High - said, whilst addressing His Messenger "And We have sent down to you the Book in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it. testifying to the truth contained therein whilst exposing the falsehood that has been added therein." [Soorah al-Maa'idah 5:48].

That Islam is suitable for implementation in any age, anywhere and by any nation does not mean that it becomes submissive to nations - being altered and changed by them - as some people falsely think. But rather it means that whenever it is truly adhered to then it brings benefit and goodness to that nation, as well as reforming and correcting it - in whatever age or place.

[3] The religion of Islam is the religion of truth. It is the way of life that Allah - the Most High - guaranteed His help and victory for those who truly adhere to it, and that He would make it dominant over all other religions.

Allah - the Most High - said:"It is He who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that it may prevail over all other religions, even if the pagans detest it." [Soorah at-Tawbah 9:33].

And Allah - the Most High - said:"Allah has promised to those amongst you who truly have eemaan (true faith and belief) and act in obedience to Allah and His Messenger, that He will grant them rulership upon the earth, just as He granted it to those before them, and that He will establish their Religion for them and grant them the authority to practice their Religion which He chose and ordered them with. And He will certainly change their situation to one of security, after their fear. Providing that they worship and obey Me, not associating anything else in worship with Me. Then, whoever rejects this favour by disobedience to their Lord - then they are the rebellious transgressors." [Soorah an-Noor 24:55]

[4] The religion of Islam is a complete religion comprising both `aqeedah (beliefs) and sharee`ah (laws).

It commands them with tawheed (to single out Allah alone for worship) and prohibits them from shirk (associating partners with Allah in that which is particular to Him).

- It commands them with being truthful and prohibits them from lying.

- It commands them with `adl (justice) and prohibits them from injustice and oppression.

- It commands them with fulfilling trusts and prohibits them from acting treacherously.

- It commands them with keeping promises and prohibits them from breaking them.

- It commands them with kindness and good treatment of parents and prohibits them from disobedience to them in that which is not sinful.

- It commands them with joining the ties of relations and prohibits them from severing them.

- It commands them with good treatment of neighbours and prohibits the causing of harm to them.

In short, Islam orders all that is good, from manners and morals, and prohibits all that is evil from it. Likewise, it orders all actions which are righteous and good and prohibits all actions that are evil and harmful.

Allah - the Most High - said:"Indeed Allah enjoins upon you justice, kindness and the giving of good to relatives and near ones. And He prohibits you from all shameful and evil deeds, oppression and transgression. Thus He admonishes you, that you may take heed and be reminded." 

Sun Rise From The West One Day

(Scientific Proof)

 As the strong belief of we muslims is that when the sun will rise from west rather than east, that time will be the biggest identity of The Day Of Judgement (Qayamah). And the door of Forgiveness will be closed on that day.

The science of astronomy states that the speed of planet Mars has been decreasing in its course towards the eastern direction in the few past weeks to the level we notice the "waver" between the east and the west..and on Wednesday the 30th of July the planet movement stopped going toward the eastern direction..!!!

Then in the months of August and September...Mars changed its course in the opposite direction to the West- and that until the end of September..which means the sun will rise now from the west on Mars!!

And this weird phenomena of the opposite movement called "Retrograde Motion" Most scientist state that all the planets will go through the same once at least and our planet Earth is one of them.

Planet Earth will move in the opposite direction some day and the sun will rise from the west!!

This might occur soon and we are unaware when it'll happen.

Our beloved messenger Mohammad Sallallahu Aleyhe Wa'alahi Wasallam said: "One of the signs of the hour..the sun will rise from the west, where no longer tauba (forgiveness) will be granted" !!

And the strange thing..most of our Shariah scholars mentioned that the rise of the sun from the west occurs only once..on that day..the sun will rise from the west..then again from the east..and continues until Allah wishes..and this is similar to what is happening to Mars..it stops, then it changes its course of direction for a short period of time..then returns to way once it was.

Abu Hurayra(R.A.) narrated..that the Messenger of Allah Subahna'uwaTa'ala said :" The day of the hour will not come until the sun rises from the west, if it rises and the people saw it they will all believe, when a time where nothing will be accepted anymore of believe the truth" [Abu Bukhari,Muslim]

From Abu Hurayra (R.A.) that the Hazrat Mohammad Sallallahu Aleyhe Wa'alahi Wasllam said: "Start with the six actions(he mentioned) the sun rising from the west[Muslim]

And Abdullah Bin Amro (R.A.) said: "I memorized from the Messenger Sallallahu Aleyhe Wa'alahi Wasallam a hadith I will never forget..I heard the messenger of Allah Subhanau WaTa'ala say:

The first aya to come the rise of the sun from the west[Ahmad]

And the Messenger Sallallahu Aleyhe Wa'alahi Wasallam said: "Allah Subhanau WaTa'ala places His hand at night to forgive his morning sinners, and places in the morning to forgive his night sinners until the sun rises from the west" [Muslim]

This piece of news is very important as it brings with it a great sign of warning and remembrance of the coming of a new WORLD - the world of the Hereafter And it is also good material for calling others to ALLAH Subhana'uwaTa'ala.

Whether for muslims, the unwary of us or the non-muslims. When we show this hadith that was told 1400 years ago about this miracle you will see !!!!

InshaALLAH, a lot will enter this beautiful religion...And the muslims if they see this phenomena happening in Mars..who knows maybe it would bring them closer to our CREATOR.

May Allah Subhanau WaTa'ala keep all of us in the Right path and provide us with success in this world as well as in the hereafter.

Allah meri Tobah.. Ya Allah meri Tobah.. Allah meri Tobah...

In the eyes of Allah, its never too late for Tobah. Allah is very Raheem. So don't just think that you have already done so many sins and that now its too late. Thanks to Allah, you are alive and you still have time for Tobah, and even if now you do Tobah from the bottom of your heart, Allah would inshAllah forgive you and you will be saved.

say TOBAH TOBAH TOBAH from the bottom of your heart now and save yourself.
