to expend attention, to hear, to smile, say good words to those are in hard times, to try to help those are loss , in not good situation , to speak about Allah cc to those are being attacked from devil , to help to reach the way for reach the profities halal, to divide what have with those are needing = CHARITY

The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise. (9:71)

Believe in Allah and His messenger, and spend (in charity) out of the (substance) whereof He has made you heirs. For, those of you who believe and spend (in charity),- for them is a great Reward. (57:7)

And We made them leaders, guiding (men) by Our Command, and We sent them inspiration to do good deeds, to establish regular prayers, and to practise regular charity; and they constantly served Us (21:73)

and spend something (in charity) out of the substance which We have bestowed on you, before Death should come to any of you and he should say, "O my Lord! why didst Thou not give me respite for a little while? I should then have given (largely) in charity, and I should have been one of the doers of good". (63:10)

Those who establish regular Prayer, and give regular Charity, and have (in their hearts) the assurance of the Hereafter. (31:4)

Not only does the Quran command the Muslims to give in charity, it also forbids the Muslims from doing this generous act just so he can be praised:

Not those who spend of their substance, to be seen of men, but have no faith in Allah and the Last Day: If any take the Evil One for their intimate, what a dreadful intimate he is! (4:38)

Why are we so conscious of the diseases that challenge our physical survival and completely ignore those diseases destroying our spiritual dimensions? Do we think about it? Why has Allah CC, so to say, been pushed to the periphery of our lives? Where are we heading to? How many of us are bothered by these questions and even if some are how do they answer them?

Consider the following Aayah of the Noble Qur’an and try to ascertain where are you standing in respect to it.

“And be ye not like those who forgot Allah CC; and He made them forget their own souls! Such are the rebellious transgressors!” [Qur’an 59:19]

This Aayah, the source of Iqbal’s thought of khudi is a thoughtful reminder of the consequences of forgetting Allah CC. Those who forget Allah CC forget their own souls, called ‘Self’ by Iqbal.

Humanity today, without exception is facing the most terrible onslaught of obscenity, immorality, Godlessness, vulgarity and shamelessness, the like of which the world has never seen before. We are all threatened by these ‘diseases of the spiritual world’. They are more serious than all the dreaded diseases we encounter in the physical world, for they eat up the very vitals of our society.

Why are we so conscious of the diseases that challenge our physical survival and completely ignore those diseases destroying our spiritual dimensions? Do we think about it? Why has Allah CC, so to say, been pushed to the periphery of our lives? Where are we heading to? How many of us are bothered by these questions and even if some are how do they answer them?

Consider the following Aayah of the Noble Qur’an and try to ascertain where are you standing in respect to it.

“And be ye not like those who forgot Allah; and He made them forget their own souls! Such are the rebellious transgressors!” [Qur’an 59:19]

This Aayah, the source of Iqbal’s thought of khudi is a thoughtful reminder of the consequences of forgetting Allah. Those who forget Allahcc forget their own souls, called ‘Self’ by Iqbal. What is this ‘Self’? Is it our physical existence? Definitely not, because those who are far from Allah and forgetful of Him, are very concerned about themselves. They are extra cautious of their dress, their beauty, their own bodies, and even the slightest threat to their health is dealt with before hand. So what is this ‘Self’ that one forgets as a consequence of forgetting Allah. It is most certainly the spiritual existence of the individual, which is the real ‘Self’. It is this aspect that materialistic people forget and hence they become their own slaves.

You might ask, “Where is this depicted?” and I would respond, “Everywhere.” Our television shows and movies, the so called entertainment, constantly undermines our traditional family life, by promoting devilish concepts like love marriages, adultery, homosexuality, to name a few. The characters are shown scantily dressed, using foul language, showing no respect to their elders and constantly obsessing about sex. Absurd, artificial and empty laughs of the so-called ‘Laughter shows’, do not bring happiness and joy. Happiness lies in the celebrated and lofty principles of nearness to Allah and His remembrance.

Other shows portray an image of an extremely violent society. We are growing so accustomed to these images and behavior that we are gradually giving them acceptance. Even little children are indoctrinated with such content that will having nothing but disastrous consequences. Cartoon characters are shown using extremely foul language. The reality is we are all under threat.

Today, more than ever, we need to rise to eliminate these diseases to save our future. Symptomatic treatment is no solution. We need to strike at the root. Many people are trying to identify the problem but make wrong conclusions as they do not seek guidance from God given principles. We need to ascertain those roots. The roots are not external conspiracies but rather internal shortcomings, for diseases do not affect a healthy body.

Identify who is your well wisher? Why concern ourselves so much about the brands we wear and whether we are in compliance to the devilish actors and actresses, who are in fact the ambassadors of evil? They are not our well wishers.

There was a person 1400 years ago, who didn't sleep in the nights, for he was thinking of us. Yes, it is a fact. He wept for us, prayed to Allah for our success over evil and our salvation. He warned us of all these happenings we encounter today, but he also comforted us with his priceless words as to where lies the triumph. Can you imagine a person 1400 years ago who wished us well? He was the most outstanding personality to walk this earth.

Isn’t it fitting for us to uphold his pious values, noble thoughts, sincere devotion and timeless wisdom? He was none other than Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him always).  These message he received from Allah is still with us today. We have no reason to remain in darkness and shut our eyes to the guidance before us.

Everyone of us needs to get in touch with the Noble Quran and it will remove the veils of darkness from our eyes. It cleanses our thoughts and widens our vision. Falsehood is left exposed by it and Truth is made clear. It proclaims no mysterious doctrines but upholds values of justice and morality. Moreover, the life of Prophet Muhammad is a living commentary of the Noble Quran. We should strive to emulate his ways for they are ways of righteousness and every action of his was blessed and that is the best example for us.

This is the only hope for mankind to save itself from spiritual annihilation and the only shield against the assault of immorality. Those who accept it will rejoice in their success and those who reject it will perish in their failure. The fruits of the message of Islam proclaim that the tree is good and the fruits of the current so-called modern trend already prove it to be an evil tree which will shortly wither away.

Have you not considered how Allahcc sets forth a parable of a good word (being) like a good tree, whose root is firm and whose branches are in heaven? Yielding its fruit in every season by the permission of its Lord? And Allah sets forth parables for men that they may be mindful. And the parable of an evil word is as an evil tree pulled up from the earth's surface; it has no stability [Qur’an 14:24].

“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah as witnesses to fair dealings and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just, that is next to piety. Fear Allah, indeed Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do.” (5:8)

BISMILLAHARRAHMANARRAHIM

Justice

 Justice is a very important principle, for without true justice, only corruption shall prevail, and when corruption prevails then everything begins to fall apart. One can say that having true justice is the true backbone or foundation of anything that shall lead to success, whether this is specifically applied to a person, or a community in general.

So what does the Quran have to say about justice? The Quran is very clear on the principle of justice, emphasizing that true justice must be carried correctly; the Quran makes this point crystal clear when it teaches the following:

“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah as witnesses to fair dealings and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just, that is next to piety. Fear Allah, indeed Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do.” (5:8)

The Quran teaches the Muslims to stand out firmly and remain impartial and fair when conducting themselves, even if they hate that person they must not swerve away from justice! Hence in Islam even if you hate somebody, you must still be completely fair with him and grant him true justice. This teaching indeed leads to a true sense of justice, because how many times do we see people allowing their personal hate of others to cloud their judgments and decision makings when it comes to this area? How many times have we seen people depart from justice due to their hatred of others?

Not only does the Quran command you to be fair with someone whom you hate, the Quran even states that you must practice justice with everybody, regardless of who they are, even if it against yourself:

“O you who believe!  Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even if it be against yourselves, your parents, and your relatives, or whether it is against the rich or the poor...” (Quran 4:135)

So you must stand up for justice no matter what, even it if against your parents, and even if it against the rich and powerful. How many times have we seen throughout history that when it often came to the upper class of society they would often be except and a blind eye would be turned to them? The Quran commands the Muslims to disregard this method and judge everyone equally, whether they are rich and powerful, whether they are your family or not, and even if it is against your own self!

This theme of the Quran is repeated again when it says:

And when you speak, then be just though it be (against) a relative, and fulfill Allah's covenant; this He has enjoined you with that you may be mindful; (6:152)

So the Quran commands the Muslims that when they speak they must speak with justice, even if it against a relative, meaning a family member. This is true justice, for how can it be justice when you are willing to ignore anything bad that is done by your close relatives while you will judge other people?

The message of true justice is repeated throughout the Quran:

Surely Allah commands you to make over trusts to their owners and that when you judge between people you judge with justice; surely Allah admonishes you with what is excellent; surely Allah is Seeing, Hearing. (4:58)

Therefore if they come to you, judge between them or turn aside from them, and if you turn aside from them, they shall not harm you in any way; and if you judge, judge between them with equity; surely Allah loves those who judge equitably. (5:42)

Surely Allah enjoins the doing of justice and the doing of good (to others) and the giving to the kindred, and He forbids indecency and evil and rebellion; He admonishes you that you may be mindful. (16:90)

So the message of justice is one taught and encouraged by the Quran, the Quranic concept of justice is indeed a concept we can all appreciate, and if applied properly shall lead to a strong just fair and secure society.

And Allah Knows Best!

 The merit of truth and honesty was an important teaching of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).  In a hadith we read the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) stating the following:

Bukhari Volume 8, Book 73, Number 116: Narrated 'Abdullah: The Prophet said, "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e. wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before Allah, a liar."

So here we read about how truth leads to righteousness, and how eventually this righteousness leads to paradise, hence being truthful is linked with one going to paradise! As the prophet also correctly stated, truthfulness leads to one becoming righteous, because a truthful person will keep his word, you will be able to trust that person, and as anyone knows, when there is trust, then you have a very strong backbone for a strong noble person, as well as a strong society.

After the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stressed the importance of truth, he contrasted this with the issue of lying, and as we read the prophet linked this sinful act with leading to hell! Hence one can easily conclude the grave sin of lying, and why it should not be done, and rather why one should be truthful.

We read in another hadith:

Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 381: Narrated Hudhaifa: Allah's Apostle said to us, "Honesty descended from the Heavens and settled in the roots of the hearts of men (faithful believers), and then the Quran was revealed and the people read the Quran, (and learnt it from it) and also learnt it from the Sunna." Both Quran and Sunna strengthened their (the faithful believers') honesty. (See Hadith No. 208)

Once again we see the important merit of truth, and how the Quran and Sunnah strengthens the honesty of the Muslim, hence the Quran and Sunnah is linked to truth and honesty, so this should embody itself in the Muslim, the Muslim therefore must be truthful and honesty. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) also taught the Muslims the following:

Bukhari Volume 9, Book 86, Number 94: Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: A man mentioned to the Prophet that he had always been cheated in bargains. The Prophet said, "Whenever you do bargain, say, 'No cheating.'"

So the prophet taught the Muslims to not cheat in their dealings and bargaining’s, now if a Muslim is not allowed to cheat during a bargain, then this means a Muslim cannot cheat and deceive in other affairs, and so he must always be truthful and honest in whatever he is doing.

In two other hadiths we continue to read about how the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught his people to be truthful:

Bukhari Volume 1, Book 1, Number 6: Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas Heraclius said, "Bring him (Abu Sufyan) close to me and make his companions stand behind him." Abu Sufyan added, Heraclius told his translator to tell my companions that he wanted to put some questions to me regarding that man (The Prophet) and that if I told a lie they (my companions) should contradict me." Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I would not have spoken the truth about the Prophet. The first question he asked me about him was: 'What is his family status amongst you?' I replied, 'He belongs to a good (noble) family amongst us.' Heraclius further asked, 'Has anybody amongst you ever claimed the same (i.e. to be a Prophet) before him?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius asked, 'Do the nobles or the poor follow him?' I replied, 'It is the poor who follow him.' He said, 'Are his followers increasing decreasing (day by day)?' I replied, 'They are increasing.' He then asked, 'Does anybody amongst those who embrace his religion become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius said, 'Have you ever accused him of telling lies before his claim (to be a Prophet)?' I replied, 'No. 'Heraclius said, 'Does he break his promises?' I replied, 'No. We are at truce with him but we do not know what he will do in it.' I could not find opportunity to say anything against him except that. Heraclius asked, 'Have you ever had a war with him?' I replied, 'Yes.' Then he said, 'What was the outcome of the battles?' I replied, 'Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we.' Heraclius said, 'What does he order you to do?' I said, 'He tells us to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship anything along with Him, and to renounce all that our ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be chaste and to keep good relations with our Kith and kin.'

And in another hadith:

O King, we were an uncivilized people, worshipping idols, eating corpses, committing abominations, breaking natural ties, treating guests badly, and our strong devoured our weak. Thus we were until God sent us an apostle whose lineage, truth, trustworthiness, and clemency we know. He summoned us to acknowledge God's unity and to worship and to renounce the stones and images which we and our fathers formerly worshipped. He commanded us to speak the truth, be faithful to our engagements, mindful of the ties of kinship and kindly hospitality, and to refrain from crimes and bloodshed. He forbade us to commit abominations and to speak lies, and to devour the property of orphans, to vilify chaste women. (Ibn Ishaque)

Last but not least the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) also described the qualities and traits of of what would make one a hypocrite:

1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.

So as one can read, the traits of a hypocrite is a person who lies, breaks his promises, and is dishonest in his dealings. So therefore the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was clearly speaking against these acts, after all, nobody wants to be a hypocrite, and on top of that, Islam has a very low view of hypocrites. Hence a good Muslim is one who does not lie, one who does not break his promises, and one who is honest in his dealings!

So in conclusion, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught the Muslims to be honest, truthful, and that this would lead to paradise.

And Allah Knows Best!

BISMILLAHARRAHMANARRAHIM
Nobody is better or less than others, bcs of characteristics properties, age, color, nationality, knowledge.
The Piety (= true love) is what makes diference between those are BAD and those are SICERE TO ALLAH CC.

IN THE PROPHET'S (PBUH) LAST SERMON HE(PBUH) STATED PLANLY THAT AN ARAB IS NOT BETTER THEN A NON ARAB AN THAT A BLACK IS NOT BETTER THEN A WHITE AND VICE VERSER. HE, OUR BELOVED PROPHET MOHAMMAD(PBUH) SAID IT IS THE PIEITY AND ONE'S HEART THAT MAKES ONE BETTER THEN ANOTHER. THOSE THAT MAKE THESE STATEMENTS HAS INDEED STRAYED AWAY FROM THE CORRECT PATH may ALLAH TA'ALA HAVE MERCY UPON THEIR SOULS FOR TEACH OTHERS THIS IGNORANCE.

Telling the truth is a very important and good morals and  habit. If you always speak the truth, you can save yourself from a lot of trouble and others from the wrong path! Here is a story of a man who did a lot of bad things, but his promise to tell the truth saved him.

Once a man came to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (SWT), I have many bad habits. Which one of them should I give up first?" Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, "Give up telling lies first and always speak the truth." "the true said , inside of the true real, sav. the lies are same the true that did not said: this makes  the son of Adam to be far from the path". but , must be carefully, because of the true need be the real true, not what the mind took of understandings from not enought knowledge about every situation

The man promised to do so and went home.

At night the man was about to go out to steal. Before setting out, he thought for a moment about the promise he made with Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). "If tomorrow Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) asks me where have I been, what shall I say? Shall I say that I went out stealing? No, I cannot say that. But nor can I lie. If I tell the truth, everyone will start hating me and call me a thief. I would be punished for stealing."

So the man decided not to steal that night, and gave up this bad habit of stealing.

Next day, he felt like drinking alcohol, when he was about to do so, he said to himself, "What shall I say to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) if he asks me what did I do during the day? I cannot tell a lie, and if I speak the truth people will hate me, because a Muslim is not allowed to drink alcohol." And so he gave up the idea of drinking alcohol.

In this way, whenever the man thought of doing something bad, he remembered his promise to tell the truth at all times. One by one, he gave up all his bad habits and became a good Muslim and a very good person.

If you always speak the truth, you can be a good person, a good Muslim whom Allah (SWT) likes and favors. If Allah (SWT) - our Creator - is pleased with us, He will reward us with Heaven, which is a place of happiness and joy.

Moral of the Story: Make a promise; I shall always speak the truth and never break it.

Salaam (Peace be on you) as taught by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

And when those who believe in Our communications come to you, say: Peace be on you, your Lord has ordained mercy on Himself... Noble Qur'an (6:54)

Our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was sitting one day with his Companions (Sahabah) and they were talking together. A person came in without asking permission and didn't even offer his Salaam (Islamic Greeting).

"Why didn't you say Salaam (Peace be on you)?" and "Why didn't you ask permission to come in?" questioned Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

"Go back. Ask our permission and greet us with your Salaam (Peace be on you) before you come in," Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) instructed.

Regarding Salaam (Islamic Greeting), Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has told us:

O Muslims! You will not enter Paradise unless you are kind to each other, unless you warmly say Salaam (Peace be on you) to each other whenever you meet.

Always say Salaam (Peace be on you) in a loud voice and reply in the same way.

Allah (SWT) loves most the person who says Salaam (Peace be on you) first and gives him better rewards and blessings. First give your Salaam (Peace be on you), then say whatever you have to say.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "When you meet each other then initiate greeting (Salaam) and embrace; and when you separate from each other, then depart with seeking forgiveness."

Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as) said: "Seventy rewards is the share of the one who initiates a 'greeting (Salaam)' and only one reward belongs to the one who returns the 'greeting (Salaam)'." (When two people see each other, the initiator of the exchange of greetings receives a greater reward.)

Imam Sadiq (as) said: "He who initiates a greeting is more beloved with Allah (SWT) and His Messenger."
