Patience.

I admit that as a Human, I don't have much patience. As a Muslim, I do have a high level of tolerance. It depends on how you wish to look upon it.

I have patience to wait, I have patience to listen but I have issues with Anger Management. Lol.
Today, I had class at the Masjid like every other Sunday and we were studying about Sabr.
I wasn't very interested (LOL) until I stumbled upon a hadith that totally woke me up.

Rasulullah saw said "A person who is patient receives as much reward for the hereafter as a person who dies a matyr"
(Muslim)

Subhan'Allah that is how generous our Lord is; Verily He is the Al-Kareem.
Take Rasulullah saw as a model. He was mocked, criticised, insulted over and over again and even physically abused but he never fought back; Rather he'd pray to Allah swt to give those who insulted him sabr (patience) and give them hidayah to embrace Islam.

And just today, i received a really meaningful Email; Masha'Allah and I thought it'd be great to share it with all :)

The law of the garbage Truck.
One day, I hopped in a taxi and headed for the airport.We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his
brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital! 'This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.

Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home,or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.

It's true isn't it. Like what Raihana would say "Seize The Day, Never Have Regrets"
I know it's easier said than done but when we think of ourselves as Muslims, we should think ourselves as loving, caring and patient people. Everyone has their shortcomings and probably mine is, my anger management. Though so, I'm making an effort to work on it and Alhamdulillah, I do see myself moving on to my wanted phase.

Try it, the next time someone on the MRT/Train pushes you out and about like you never existed; instead of cursing the person say "Astaghfirullah, Allah give me patience"

Insya'Allah khair.

Why ruin your day just because someone was rude to you?
like Rai would put it in words again,
"If Life's too short to love, why then do we hate?"

:)

Allah Hafiz.
Have a Blessed Weekend all :)

P.S I'll use my anger management model as myself because I'm being very patient with my screaming mum who just wouldn't let me blog in peace.
Astaghfirullah, Allah give me patience and please make my mum realise if this goes on, I might need ear plugs. -.-

The Story Of A Sister, Can Allah Accept Me?

I received this story in an Email by a sister and it totally touched my heart. Subhan'Allah made me cry, do read it :)


Can GOD accept me ?

This is a story that started with an email to a well known sheikh. The email was from a girl named Sarah, living in Australia and she said: ‘ I am agirl living in Australia, my father is a Muslim while my mother is a Christian.They are originally from Lebanon. We lived in Lebanon for the first 10 years of my life, but then my parents immigrated to Australia. With this immigration my relation with religion was terminated, all what I know is that I am supposed to be a Muslim, I don’t even know what the Quran looks like, I don’t know how
to pray and religion had no weight or importance in my life. My father and
mother got divorced and they both left Australia. They left me alone to study in
the university. I have no family, no brothers and I know nothing about my
grandparents in Lebanon.

I lived alone and I had to work to spend on myself. So I used to study in the morning and work in a bar at night. I have a boy friend with all the western implications of this word. I left nothing from the haram except that I did it,
with no shame or pain. I went for a beauty contest in New Zealand and I won the title. I became a model for many fashion magazines. While I am involved in all this, I went to visit a family from Lebanese origin. They had a satellite dish and I watched a program about modesty and women in Islam. I was deeply affected and I was in a state of a breakdown. I felt that this program is talking directly to me. I took the email and the web site from this program and I am writing to you to ask, can Allah still accept me? Can I return to Allah?’ So
the sheikh replied to her informing her that Allah’s love is very special for those who turn back and repent. He guided her to the conditions of a sincere repentance. After two days, she said, ‘I made repentance and left my boy friend and will never see him again’. Then after two days she asked, ‘I want learn how to pray’ then a day later she said, ‘I want to get Quran tapes’
So the sheikh sent her tapes of the entire Quran using DHL. She sent back saying, ‘I gave up the beauty contest and title I had’. After 4 days she said, ‘ I am now wearing Hijab’, but the story didn’t finish yet!

Two days after she decided to wear the Hijab, she felt a severe pain in the head. When she went to the doctor he informed her that she has a serious brain tumor and that her days are numbered!! Sarah was then scheduled for an operation with a success rate of 20%. This was what the doctor said.

As for her, she sent to the sheikh an email saying, ‘I am so happy to meet Allah. I am extremely happy that I repented before knowing that I was sick. I don’t know if my parents will know what happened to me or not. They rarely call me. I repented to Allah 3 weeks ago and disobeyed him for 22 years! I ask Allah to write me down from the people of Jannah, and If I live I want to work for Islam through your website, which is my window to the Islam and Muslims’

Sarah died on Friday September 19th ,2003. The last email from her was:

‘ I lived 22 years away from GOD but I repented 3 weeks ago, I want you to
witness that I repented to GOD, left my boyfriend, my job, my beauty contest
and title. I wore the Hijab and prayed regularly, I want you to witness that I
did this only for GOD. I know no Muslims other than you and your web site.
Please I ask you to make du’a asking GOD to forgive me and shower me with
his mercy. Please ask GOD to guide my parents who know nothing about me.’

We all ask GOD to forgive you Sister Sarah. The Sheikh and his wife both went
for a Umra for Sarah. Many people showered the web site with sincere
supplications for Sarah and a large group decided to read the entire Quran and
dedicate this good deed for her!!!! Subhan Allah, her parents and her 20 years
lifetime friends did not benefit her and in 3 weeks GOD granted her brothers
and sisters like you all over the world that will benefit her with everlasting
good deeds.

“Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and understanding
or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses” {Holy Qur'an,50:37)

May Allah swt forgive our sister of her past sins and may He shower unto her countless blessings and mercy. Ameen.

-A'qilah Saiere-

Was Christ Really Crucified ?

What was the need for God to Kill himself for our sins? Verily He is the Oft-Forgiving.

Luke 24:37-43

37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

39Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

43And he took it, and did eat before them.

May Allah swt guide us all.Ameen.

Ya Ukhti.

How much do you love your sisters?
Your sisters in deen, you sisters in this life, your sisters in the next; your sisters in Islam.
How much do you love them?

Do you love them like how you love yourself or more?
Do you want for them what you want for yourself?
Do you smile every single time you talk to them?
Do you wish to hug the ones you don't get to see?
Do you keep them in your Prayers?
Just how much do you love your sisters?

I love my sisters, whole-heartedly I do.
No matter how bad my day can get, just somehow my sisters will turn them around.
All you need is just one sister in your MSN list that's willing to hear you rant; another to say "Assalamualaikum wrb sister, i just dropped by to send my regards, Insya'Allah all is well with you"(F)
All you need is one sister to say "Sister, I love you"
All you need is one sister to say "Sister, I wish the best for you"

This little2 things makes my day. wAllah they do.
I love my sisters, I really do.

My sisters are the most amazing people in my life.
They are strong, they are intelligent and they are beautiful inside out.
No matter how far they are from sight, they just seem so close at heart.

Seriously, I just love you my sisters; every single one of you.
And never a day pass that I don't thank Allah for having blessed me with all of you. :)

P.S- FATIN,
Thank you for making me feel better today; as you always have. I love youuuuuu ukhti! And I'll love you more if you stop bringing me to Supermarkets and pointing out Random Indian guys. SERIOUSLY.

Weirdo At Supermarket.

I was stalked at the supermarket.
Who the hell gets stalked at a grocery store?

Seriously, it was bloody freaky.
Some indian-bangladeshi-not-singaporean-for-sure was following me from shelf-to-shelf.

Imagine a typical Bollywood Scene.
A girl enters a supermarket. A man with no life decided to try something new. Instead of buying what he needs to buy, he follows the girl around the supermarket. While pretending to look at the things on the shelf, he observes her from some two-to-three-steps distance and when the girl turns to look at him he turns away/ looks down, smiles every now and then tries to say "Hi".
omg loooooooool.

WAllahi, that happened to me just 3 hours ago. When we left the store, I told my mum about him and showed her who he was. Instead of asking him to get out of sight she said "Eh, he's pretty good looking; maybe he wants to get to know you"
Rubbish.
My brother went like "Not bad, you got admirer" LOOOOL. I didn't know he thought I was that ugly.

That was just plain freaky.
Seriously.

HAHAHAHAHA
(I felt like laughing it off)

Farshy At-Turab

AS age catches up with us, death approaches. The question is, are we ready for it? I read a blog post recently (Can't remember where but it was about death). It was as good as a reminder for me.

You never know when Mawt befalls upon you. Angel Israil doesn't gives warnings.
Verily the Prophet saw said "If only my ummah knows the pain of sakkaratul mawt, they will cry in every prayer and repent" (Muslim)

Honestly, none of us will ever be ready for death. Every Muslim wants to die with the Qur'an on his tongue, in his Prayer and tears of joys in his eyes to know he's returning to his Creator.
But how do we guarantee that all our Ibadah (Salaahs, Fasts, Zakahs & Hajj) will be accepted? How do we assure ourselves that our Sins will be forgiven?
How do can we be so sure that we'll be in Jannatul Firdaus and not Jahannam?
How can we be sure that our souls wil be able to answer Mungkar and Nankir?

I've been thinking about death alot. I keep having this feeling that I'm dying. Seriously, No joke. To make it worse, I keep dreaming that my grandmother's passing away. WAllah, I'm tormented with death almost every other day. It's a good thing yet bad. The good thing is, I'm constantly repenting and the bad is; I'm not prepared to die just yet and I don't think I'll ever be prepared and I'm not mentally prepared to lose my grandmother should anything happens.

Talking of which; she's the reason why I've been IMA-ing.
She's lost 85% of her sight so we brought her to an eye specialist this morning. It's due to Cataract.
She'll be undergoing her surgery on the 12th of March. I'm afraid for her as much as she's afraid for herself. The thing is, she's got diabetes and as we know diabetes affects the retina of your eye. Should the diabetes' effect be minimal and the vessels in her retina aren't bleeding she'll gain 90& of her sight; otherwise she'll only be able to gain 30%-40% of her sight. Either way, it's more than what she can se now.

May Allah give her shifa, sabr and strength insy'Allah. Ameen.

In the meantime, I'll be kept busy with my Polytechnic Enrolment; there's too much to do. I've to apply for this and that; Run to Medical Clinics to let them suck my blood out and X-ray my body. I HATE NEEDLES AND THEY ARE GOING TO INSERT THAT THING IN ME. Stupid. Plain Stupid.
&
I wish to accompany my grandmother and spend more time with her.

So, I MIGHT not blog often or maybe blog more than what I should be blogging. Depends on what I have to say. Whatever it is, if I don't blog for more than 1 week than ask Fatin what happened to me or just assume I've returned to Allah swt.

Allahu Aa'lam Wa Ahkam.

P.S Slumdog was super duper uper freaking good. soooo....
JAIIII HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
&
Fatin, Get well soon. I'm sorry if I made you angry. Return me my text when you think you should :'( Till then I'll be in solidarity.
&
I love my mum when she's trying to make up to me; She buys me Indian Food every dinner. I'm lovin' it. If I start talking to her, I'll lose my Indian food and if I'm don't Jahannam's calling me. LOL...
&
Erm... Jaan i'll email you often; Check Your Email. Good Luck For your exams, study well and rest well. Cut down on that fast food.
Allah Hafiz.

A'qilah Saiere

I live for Allah.

Let us all admit it. We've at least lied on our life; be it it was for a good or a bad reason it's still a lie. We've cheated at least once when we're playing a game. We've sinned; somehow or rather we've sinned. We're Humans and none of us are perfect.

Though so, when we do something wrong and we realise it; we'll make the effort to correct ourselves and change for the better. We regret, repent and seek guidance.

So when someone starts changing, the people around them are affected too.

Okay fine, I changed. But I did so for the better. I've gotten more attached to my faith, my people and more importantly my Lord. It has never been better. I'm not perfect but I know I've changed. WAllah I do.

Some of my family members find it a lil hard to believe though. MY cousins especially.
One thinks I'm too religious/extreme; another gets offended when I have the hijaab on in front of Him; the other thinks it's alright to have physical contact with me like no one's business; not forgetting to mention the one who tries to quote hadiths to show that I shouldn't be too anti-israel. WTH. WAllah they are screwed.

I don't get why half of my cousins aren't able to accept this change in me. Yesterday, while I was waiting for my sirah class to start I was listening to nasheeds and was doing some zikr. wAllah, I was finding for that bit of tranquility after the fight with my mum the day before.

My cousin who was with me stopped me and said "What is wrong with you these days? Why the sudden choice to be pious? Don't be too extreme sis, people might start to think you're mad"
WTH.
I felt like giving her a tight slap but she's older so I can't be bothered. I just said "Allah doesn't think I'm mad and that's quite enough" & turned away.

Seriously, these people aren't really worth our time. I changed because Allah guided me. Alhamdulillah. Ever since all that I do are all for Him so if there are amongst you who aren't very happy about it all I can say is, keep the comments to yourself.

I live and love for Allah swt.
Only Allah swt who created me has the right to judge me.
You're going to be judged too so instead of judging those around you judge yourself and work on what you have to work on.

A'qilah Saiere.

Victory is Ours.

I'm tired of talking to Zionists.
Seriously, not even half of them use their brains.
All that I hear them scream is "Holy Land!"; "You terrorist!"; "Give us back our land"
WAllahi before, i used to be sooo disturbed by these ignorant comments but now I can't be bothered to even answer. LOL, seriously.
Often if I even do then I'll answer
"Buy yourself a brain and then come back to me"

Palestine is our land. Its either; Palestine, Occupied Palestine, or if you're a blind sheep following the rest, then feel free to call it 'Israel'. At least I’m lucky enough to know the truth, and not sit here waiting for the Zionists to feed me with more lies each day.

In the past (before 1948), believe it or not, Jews & Arabs lived in Peace together. Both were named Palestinian (yep, there are Jewish Palestinians...) and everything was amazingly fine. Until the Zionist ideology-1987 (built up on lies) came along.

The Zionists narrowed their options of a homeland to Uganda, Palestine & Argentina. Then, realizing the religious links between Judaism and the Holy Land they decided it could be a cheap excuse for them to get away with their crimes. They constantly scream ‘holocaust’, 'chosen people' and 'Our Holy Land' if ever anyone asks for justice.

Are these 'Chosen people' purposely chosen to be so cruel to Humanity?

Israel has the right to exist?
Well, I’ll save my self the trouble of a long essay, and just give you my opinion.

Israel has no right to exist. I do not want to sound like an extremist or whatever, but Israel has raped the Palestinians off their land, and its still doing so. 7.5 million refugees up to this day. Thousands and thousands dead. Homes demolished...etc.

& Stop making Palestine seem as if it were swamps, only. There are run-down area's everywhere. It was a country yet to develop. No country suddenly came out with 5star hotels; it takes time for this stuff. But Palestine didn't even get that chance.

If PALESTINE isn't PALESTINIAN land then Britian isn't for the British.We should give the Indians permission to rename Britain India No.2 or whatever.

"Palestine belongs to the Arabs the same way that England belongs to the English and France belongs to the French"-Ghandi

Its Israeli's who attack.
0 Israeli homes have ever been demolished by Palis. whilst over 60,000 pali homes have been demolished by israel.
The number of israeli victims of war aren't even a fraction of the Palis.
0 Israeli refugee's. 7.5 million palestinians refugees.
half a million new jewish settlers on OCCUPIED Palestinian LAND.

Let me correct you; Palestinains are defending themselves against the zionists, who are opressing & killing them. Who are leading them to injustice.

So don't call the terrorised, terrorists.
As far as I am concerned, when you say Palestinians may be commiting some 'acts of terrorism', its called self defence. The only terrorists in this case are the Israeli's (& im not speaking about all of them,either..there are so many settlers in the occupied land who don't even know that this land is STOLEN!)

Oh and for your information, it's only a matter of time that it'll be ours again.
Nasruminallah wa fathum qarib.
It has been promised, and it shall be fulfilled.

Today was my Mum's birthday and I thought since I've not been making her happy these few days; I planned a surprise birthday party for her. It wasn't exactly a party; just a small get-together session with my aunts, cousins and my special sister was there. Me and Fatin (Special Sis) baked her a cake. She was so happy earlier. All smiles and wAllahi, I felt really glad with the outcome but I knew that the whole situation was going to change when I reached home.

My Abah called me about 2 hours before the party and told me that my phone bill was here and it was unexceptionally high. I knew that if my mum found out about this, that's it; she'll explode like a freaking volcano ( my mum's a tigress) and the whole party will be ruined. So I begged Abah to keep it from her until the celebration was over.

I already knew that she was going to be angry so I prepared myself but I thought that maybe she wouldn't really scold me as harshly because she was so happy earlier so I thought that maybe the cake that I baked will save me from the screaming. (Yes, I had that lil bit of hope) but NO.

The minute she saw that piece of bill, she forgot every lil thing that I did for her today; she forgot that I put in effort in making her happy; she forgot how happy I was to see her all smiles after a long time. She started screaming her heads off; She started saying things that were just superrrrrrrr hurting. ALL BECAUSE OF ONE PATHETIC PIECE OF BILL (Telephone companies are out to destroy families.)

I wasn't hurt physically or whatever but I couldn't feel more upset & hurt. I didn't see that bit of gratitude and love that she showed me just a few moments ago. I'm just sooo disappointed that I'm crying while writing this post.

Forget it, Al-Qur'an shall be my medicine. Afterall, she's still my ummi.

A'qilah Saiere.

Possesiveness.

Close to my O Level Exams last year, I was writing up essays after essays because English was the only subject I bothered to pass; It was the only subject I liked. LOL.
Anyway, here's one of my favourites. I got an A for this but why don't you sisters tell me if I deserved it ;)

Possessiveness.

I peered out of my bedroom window, peeping through the curtains, not wanting him to notice me. I saw him coming out of the car with his sleek briefcase, all dressed up in his gray suit that I had ironed for him last night, still looking as neat and well-dressed as he was in the morning before leaving for work. I rushed down the stairway to the door to be there in time to greet him. I did not want to be shouted at again for being too slow to welcome him home. The minute he entered the house, I rushed to get his jacket and his briefcase while he moved towards the dining table to help himself to the food that I had laid on the table like any other evenings.


As he gorged himself with the food, I just observed him from afar and I pretended to continue with the load of household chores. By now, you would probably be thinking that I am a servant and the man I was talking about earlier was none other than my employer. Well no, that man is Rahul, my husband. I may be his wife but my life is of no different from a prisoner.

After marriage, Rahul stopped me from seeing any of my male friends neither was I allowed to keep in touch with any of them. I was forced to quit my job and was even stopped from meeting my female friends or colleagues. The start of my marriage life was the end of my social life. He demanded that I stay at home and devote my time to him and our only child, Santosh. The only time I get to leave my house was when I leave for the market. Even so, I am only allowed to be away for a maximum of two hours and if I were to ever go beyond that time limitation I had to prepare myself for whole load of scolding.

Rahul does not just scream his lungs out at me but he never hesitates to raise his hands at me. Bruises of his slaps and punches are all over my body.Rahul has made it clear to me that he was always in the right and I am always in the wrong. He is the man of the house and I should respect all his wishes without any reservations. He owns me, so I should not have any relationships, ambitions, or desires of my own. I feel like a bird trapped in a cage. I have wings, but they are of no use. My ambitions, dreams, desires have all long been drained. I yearn to taste and breathe the air of freedom. I am sick and tired of being his little puppet. Each time he yells at me, I just feel like screaming my lungs out at him, punching him in the stomach, kicking him in his testicles, letting him feel the pain that I am going through right now under his obsessive control.

I could still remember running through the streets of Newcastle, passing by rows and rows of houses. My marriage was fixed with a random Raja but I loved Rahul. I left my home, my mum, my dad and the person who loved me the most, my Bhai. I left my life behind to catch up with love but it's love that has reduced me to who I am today.What I thought would bring me happiness had only robbed me of my joy and laughter.


I do not understand why Rahul is doing this to me. At first I thought it was his way of showing passionate love for me rather than a sign of his obsession over control and power. His pathological jealousy and possessiveness has been mistaken time and again to be a sign of passionate love. I yearn to let go of this marriage but I cannot bear to see my son grow up to be father-less. I guess, this is my fate and fate is in the hands of the almighty. For that I leave all to Him.With that, each day and each night I waste in sighs;awaiting a new tomorrow.

A'qilah Saiere.

Strained?

I've begun to not believe in friendships anymore. Really I don't. Rather,I have more faith in sisterhood. I don't believe in Best Friends Forever. I don't believe in those things; Well...not anymore.

After every meeting is a separation and death will be the ultimate one and I believe that Friendships don't last because Friends always end up separated.

Sisters may be separated eventually but Islam holds us all together on a rope.
We may be separated in this world but we'll meet in the hereafter.
We're Muslims; and verily I want for my sisters what i want for myself.

I don't really know what I'm on about but I just need to get this across.

I love my sisters; all of you. Whether or not you read this blog, I love you all wholeheartedly.
WAllahi I do.

I have a best friend for 4 years. She's a christian but she respects me as a Muslim and definitely respects Islam; thus, I do so towards her belief. However, this is what makes me think we'll end up as mere acquaintances eventually. As time passes by, I learn more about my faith and more of my people and there are certain times I get tooo Islamic ( there's no such thing as too Islamic but yeah oh nvm) that i find it hard for me to explain certain things to her. Take the Hijab for example. She knows that i wear it for religious reasons, for sure she understands and respects the modesty idea but sometimes I feel that she looks upon it as a mere piece of cloth over my head and she doesn't understand how much it means to me. Only a Muslimah will understand me, A Muslimah with her Hijab on will understand how much I love it.

But that doesn't mean I love her, I sure do but I just don't have much confidence that I'll be friends with her till the end; though I do hope so.


This is just some emotional turmoil going on in my head so I had to let it out. Pray that nothing like this happens again LOL...

Refuting the Deviants Of Islam.

As per MJ's request;

Our Brother here asked a sister;

mj4sh

One question MissShiaMuslim
Are shias the one to decide who should have been the first Caliph or it was Allah?
I will sincerely request you, the way you researched and came to Islam alhamdulillah the same way you should research the hadith of Prophet(saaws) i.e Sahih Hadith and decide yourself. You know why "some" shias are called murtads? bcoz they curse the wife of Prophet(saaws) i.e Aisha(r.a) who is the mother of all muslims and the 3 beloved companions of Prophet(saaws). Research sister :/

and this was what he got.

MisforMuslim

I have a question that I have been wondering about I'm Shia as well...how is it that Aisha is called the mother of all Muslims?

The names of the Prophets children were: Qasim, Zainab, Ruqaiyyah, Umm-e-Kulthoom, Faatimah and Ibraheem (ra). All these children, except Ibraheem, were born through the Prophets first wife Khadijah. Ibraheem was born through Maria Qibtiyyah. Both the male children died in their childhood/infancy.

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith: 9.329 Narrated Jabir Ibn Samura: I heard the Prophet saying, "There will be 12 commanders (Amir)." He then said a sentence which I did not hear. My father said, the Prophet added, "All of them will be from Quraish."
Sahih Muslim: The Prophet (PBUH) said: "The affairs of people will continue to be conducted (well) as long as they are governed by the 12 men."

Obviously, the above traditions are not fit to the 1st 4 Caliphs, less than 12. ¬ applied to Umayad Caliphs, b/c a) more than 12; b) all of them were tyrants and unjust (except Umar Ibn Abd al-Aziz); c) they were not from the Hashimites & the Holy Prophet had in another tradition that: "All of them will be from the Bani Hashim..."

And this was what our brother answered.

Very good question. First of all i will ask you to show some respect to the wife of the beloved prophet(saw) by adding "RADIYALLAHU ANHA" after her name, [RADIYALLAHU ANHU is used for males]. We muslims add this after the name of the beloved wives or the companions of the prophet(saw) which means May Allah be pleased with him/her. And now coming to your question, you asked why Hadrat Aisha(r.a) is called the mother of all muslims?

Looks like your knowledge of Quran is bit weak lol



"The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers."
[Al-Quran 33:6]

All the wives of the beloved prophet(saw) are the mother of all believers(muslims). For the same reason muslims were forbidden to marry the widow of the prophet(saw) because you cannot marry your own mother it is haraam.

"...Nor is it right for you that ye should annoy Allah's Messenger, or that ye should marry his widows after him at any time. Truly such a thing is in Allah's sight an enormity."

[Al-Quran 33:53]


You were trying to tell me that Aisha(r.a) cannot be our mother biologically and its true but Quran says and we know she is the Mother of all belivers in "faith" just like any other wife of prophet(saw)

Coming to your second question where you were trying to insult the 4 caliphs in a nice way by saying they don't fit the bill of the twelve imam? Astagfirullah may allah(swt) forgive you for your ignorance.

You tried to use sahih Hadith of Prophet(saw) to defend the deviants and I will use the same Sahih Bukhari to prove the ignorance and hypocrisy of the deviants.


Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 89, Number 327:

Narrated Jubair bin Mut'im:

A woman came to the Prophet and spoke to him about something and he told her to return to him. She said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I come and do not find you?" (As if she meant, "...if you die?") The Prophet said, "If you should not find me, then go to Abu Bakr."


Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 91, Number 367:

Narrated Abu Musa:

The Prophet entered a garden and told me to guard its gate. Then a man came and asked permission to enter. The Prophet, said, "Permit him and give him the good news that he will enter Paradise." Behold! It was Abu Bakr. Then 'Umar came, and the Prophet said, "Admit him and give him the good news that he will enter Paradise." Then 'Uthman came and the Prophet said, "Admit him and give him the good news that he will enter Paradise. "


Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 89, Number 324:

Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:

'Aisha said, "O my head!" Allah's Apostle said, "If that (i.e., your death) should happen while I am still alive, I would ask Allah to forgive you and would invoke Allah for you." 'Aisha said, "O my life which is going to be lost! By Allah, I think that you wish for my death, and if that should happen then you would be busy enjoying the company of one of your wives in the last part of that day." The Prophet said, "But I should say, 'O my head!' I feel like calling Abu Bakr and his son and appoint (the former as my successors lest people should say something or wish for something. Allah will insist (on Abu Bakr becoming a Caliph) and the believers will prevent (anyone else from claiming the Caliphate)," or "..Allah will prevent (anyone else from claiming the Caliphate) and the believers will insist (on Abu Bakr becoming the Caliph)."


Sahih Bukhari Vol 5, Book 57, Number 8

Narated By Ibn 'Abbas : The Prophet said, "If I were to take a Khalil, I would have taken Abu Bakr, but he is my
brother and my companion (in Islam)."


Sahih Bukhari Vol 5, Book 57, Number 22

Narated By Abu Said : The Prophet said, "Do not abuse my companions for if any one of you spent gold equal to
Uhud (in Allah's Cause) it would not be equal to a Mud or even a half Mud spent by one of them."



Volumn 005, Book 057, Hadith Number 014.

Narated By 'Amr bin Al-As : The Prophet deputed me to read the Army of Dhat-as-Salasil. I came to him and said,
"Who is the most beloved person to you?" He said, "'Aisha." I asked, "Among the men?" He said, "Her father." I said,
"Who then?" He said, "Then 'Umar bin Al-Khattab." He then named other men.



Coming back to the question of 1st 4 caliphs who according to you don't fit the bill of twelve caliphs- Nauzbillah! And you used these above ahadith

Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 89, Number 329:

Narrated Jabir bin Samura:

I heard the Prophet saying, "There will be twelve Muslim rulers (who will rule all the Islamic world)." He then said a sentence which I did not hear. My father said, "All of them (those rulers) will be from Quraish."


Sahih Muslim, v3, p1453, Tradition 10

The Prophet said: "The [Islamic] religion will continue until the Hour (day of resurrection), having twelve Caliphs for you, all of them will be from Quraysh."


This authentic ahadith has been repeated in Sahih Muslim, Al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud.

You stated this "Obviously, the above traditions are not fit to the 1st 4 Caliphs, less than 12."


1)None of these hadith mentions whom those Calips are. Just because Sahih Hadith does'nt mentions all the twelve caliph by name that does'nt negates the role of first four rightly guided caliphates.

For example, there were thousands of prophet of Allah(swt) between Adam(a.s) and prophet mohammed(saw) but by name only 25 are mentioned in the Quran. Just bcoz all the prophets are not mentioned to you in the Quran that does'nt negates the role of 25 prophets(peace be upon them) that we know. So your statement right there is illogical.


2. The hadiths are speaking about "Caliphates" = Rulers.
The evidence that the "Caliphate" here means "Ruler" and not just a "successor", is the wording of some of the narrations mentioned in the ahadith above, and in other sunni books including sahih al Bukhari:
(The Prophet said: "There will be after me twelve Amir (Prince/Ruler), all of them from Quraysh." Sunan at Tirmithi)


Mind You!!

**None of the Imams that Shia claim were rulers, except for Ali radiyallahu anhu.**

So the rest of the 11 Imams that the shia claims don't fulfill the criteria of hadith of Prophet(saw) and therefore the Imams claimed by the shia except Ali(r.a) are disproven there right away.

3. Lets see whom were the first righteous Khalifas (rulers) from the begining of the history of Islam:
- Abu Bakr radiyallahu anhu
- Umar radiyallahu anhu
- Uthman radiyallahu anhu
- Ali radiyallahu anhu
- Umar bin Abdul Aziz rahimahu Allah.

Then we have at the end of time, al Imam al Mahdi (Muhammad bin Abdellah)

** Note **
--> All of the above were from Quraish.
--> All of the above were rulers at their time.

They fulfill the criteria of the 12 caliphs/rulers of the sahih hadiths.


Five whom were rulers in past, and one will be a ruler in future, as in authentic hadith.
As for the other 6, scholars differed and we can't be sure whom they are, and if all of them except for one (al Mahdi) have already past or some will come in future, Allahu a'lam.


I hope i cleared your misconceptions and this will bring end to the friction. May Allah(swt) guide you to research the Sahih Hadith of Prophet(saw) and not to blindly follow deviants. And i would like to end my comment with the verse of the glorious Quran Ch 17 Verse 81

Waqul jaa alhaqqu wazahaqa albatilu inna albatila kana zahooqan

"When truth is hurled against falsehood, falsehood perishes, for falsehood is by its nature bound to perish."



All I can say is "Mash'Allah" :)

Hijab Ban?

Just yesterday I was ranting that the sisters in Tunisia are being violated of their rights to the Hijab and today it's my turn to rant about my rights to my Hijab.

I'm sure I've mentioned in my previous posts that in Singapore, the Hijab is not allowed in secular schools as we have our uniforms and the only instituitions that allow the Hijabs are the full-time madrasahs, the Polytechnics and the Universities; of course we have the private diploma organisations too.
So, I couldn't be more delighted when I got into a Polytechnic after I thought about the fact that I need not take my Hijab off in the streets anymore nor do I have to wear a short blouse and a short skirt to show off my aurat.
Yesterday, my nassara best friend told me that she read an article saying that the government is considering to impose a law that forbids the Polytechnic students to wear MINIs and the Muslim students to wear the Hijab.

Let me ask you a question, Logically, what does the Hijab have to do with MINIs?
One covers and one doesn't.
One is morally right and one isn't.
So what has lifting the MINIs got to do with lifting the Hijab?

I was infuriated when I heard it from her and I started ranting and both my friends that were on the phone with me said "Have faith, maybe they won't implent it afterall".

HAVE FAITH? How do I have faith when my Muslim leaders and organisations are mere government puppets? How do I have faith when the Islamic influence here isn't as strong as that of our neighbouring countries?
How do I faith?

My friends don't seem to understand how much my Hijab means to me. It's not just a piece of cloth on my head; it's a piece of cloth that represents me, that gives me an IDENTITY, that truly portrays who I am!
It's a piece of cloth that symbolises me as a MUSLIM.
The Hindus aren't stopped from wearing their "Bindhi" on their foreheads;
The Sikhs aren't stopped from wearing their turbans;
The Christians aren't stopped from wearing their Cross Necklaces over their chests;
SO WHY THEN ARE THE MUSLIMS STOPPED FROM GROWING A BEARD AND WEARING A HEADSCARF?

One of them then mentioned that maybe the government is doing it for security reasons.
Isn't that indirectly calling me a terrorists?
Or should I say calling Muslims terrorists?
What security are we talking about here?
That there is a tendency that I am going to hide a bomb under my Hijab?
That there is a tendency that I am a suicide bomber under my Hijab?
What security exactly are we talking about here?
How does the Hijab that merely stays on my head affects the whole Polytechnic environment?
How is it hazardous to me and the people around me?

I swear, this is utter BULL.

This, to me, is oppression.
This, to me, is Violation of rights.
This, to me, is terrorism.

My Hijab is my life, No one is taking it off my head.

Sisters, please make dua' that the law will not be implemented. wAllahi, we have no power and freedom of speech here.


A'qilah Saiere.

Tunisia.

Oppression.
That's what's happening to the Ummah.

Look at the Tunisian Flag. it's Islamic isn't it?


The Prime Minister's name begins with a "Mohammed" isn't that Islamic?


Why then are the Tunisian sisters stopped from wearing the Hijab?
Why issit that the sisters are taken to the police for wearing the Hijab?
Whe are they tortured for fulfilling their duties to Allah?

Why are they being abused?
Why are they being raped?
Why are their Hijabs pulled out in the public?

Where's the Justice?
What is happening to that Islamic Nation?

Tunisia's turning into what Lebanon was in the 70s.
Why is it that no one is stopping it?

I thought my brothers in Islam are Lions?
I thought the Ummah loves each other?
Where are you my brothers?
Where are you when your sisters are calling out for you?

Will someone tell me what is wrong in believing in Allah?
Will someone tell me what is wrong in reading the Qur'an?
Will someone tell me what is wrong in dressing up modestly?

Is it because what I'm heeding is the word of God that is why you wish to destroy me and my people?
Muslims, Rise.
Hates of Islam, Wake up before it's too late.



You oppress us and call us oppressors.
You terrorise us and call us terrorists.
you violate our rights and call us violators.
If that's Justice to you then you are but worse than satan.

Palestine, Lebanon, Tunisia, Turkey, Pakistan, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iraq; who's next?

My Sisters... :'((((

Why Pray?

During the illness that preceded his death, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) continued advising 'Ummah, "(Protect) the prayer, (protect) the prayer, and whom your hands possess (slaves)."

I was once asked by a non-believer why we Muslims pray; furthermore 5 times a day.
Honestly, I was stuck; dumbfounded. I began to question myself; Why do we pray?; More importantly why do I pray?
I don't see my christian friends perform prayer 5 times a day; I don't see my Buddhists friends visiting the temples as often; Neither were my Hindu mates doing so. So why then do I pray 5 times a day?

Before I took Islam as an entirety, I never took my salah seriously. I prayed when I wanted to and when I didn't feel like; I'll even go to the extent of locking myself up in the room and leave only when the next prayer time comes in; and lie to my parents that I've done it.
But they always say "Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future"

I looked for hadiths after hadiths to try to explain to myself as well as the non-believer as to why I pray.I guess it has become such a norm for us Muslims to pray that I forgot to stop and think for the reason we do so.

Allah has everything; He is everything. He doesn't need us to pray for Him neither does He needs us to pray to Him. Verily He is the Most Magnificent and the creator of us all.
We pray because we need it. Without our prayers, we'll be struggling to keep up with our daily life. Logically, it's only right that we fulfill our responsibilities as a servant and worship our Creator.
He has created into the purest of beings and it has always been our duty as servants to keep it that way and it is through Salah that we cleanse our hearts and minds.

Narrated by Abu Hurairah r.a
Once the Prophet saw asked his companions " Do you believe that can remain on a person's body if he bathes 5 times a day in a brook running in front of his door?"
His companions answered "No, No Dirt can remain on his body."
The Prophet saw then replied; "In the same sense, the 5 prayers each day (With the Grace of Allah swt) washes away your sins"

(Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidzi, Ibn Majah, Nasa'i)

As simple as that.

He then asked why we have to prostrate when we pray. To prostrate portrays that we fully submit ourselves to Allah and agreeing that we are but His slaves.
Now here's the interesting part.
There is a scientific theology behind prostration.

In the 21 st century that we're living in today; we are always around electronic equipments that gives off waves that enters out body and filtrates our system. This waves ( i.e radiation from phones) leads to a high risk of us getting brain cancer; or merely cancer.
Scientists have proven that the only way to get rid of theses waves in your body is to place your head on the ground and the best place to do this is in the center of the Earth.
Head on the Ground -: Sujud (Prostration)
Center of the Earth-: Ka'abah; Makkah (Mecca)


Our Lord, Our Creator sure loves us and wants the best for us all; The question is, do we love Him like how He loves us?
Verily, Salah is the pillar of Islam and He who breaks it has destroyed His religion.
(Hadith Qudsi)

Happy Shirk-tine's day!

As per Raihana's request;

I don't get what the big "hoo-haa" about Valentine's day is.
CORRECTION-:
I don't get why the hell Muslims are celebrating Valentine's day.

I have to admit; before I used to celebrate it. I used to say "for the fun and laughter" of it. But wth, what's so fun in having holes in your pockets right the next day lols.

I've noticed that "Valentine's day" and "Christmas" has become far too commercialized that even "non-christians" celebrate it.
Sadly, both lost their meanings.

That's not my point here.

What I feel is that, most Muslims TEENS especially are indulging themselves in practices that they regard as innocent fun when they are actually cultural practices that may symbolize unbelief or they could be rooted in paganism. These ideas/ practices may have been products of superstitions and may be a negation to what Islam stands for.

Do you know what Valentine's is all about? Do you know how it came about? Most importantly, do you know what you're celebrating?
For the convenience of all I'll attach an article that explains everything about Valentine's day and why I think it's Shirk.

Valentine article.
Legends abound, as they do in all such cases, but this much is clear: Valentine’s Day began as a pagan ritual started by Romans in the 4th century BCE to honour Lupercus, the ‘god of fertility and flocks’. Its main attraction was a lottery held to distribute young women to young men for ‘entertainment and pleasure’ - until the next year’s lottery.

Among other equally despicable practices associated with this day was the lashing of young women by two young men, clad only in a bit of goatskin and wielding goatskin thongs, who had been smeared with the blood of sacrificial goats and dogs. A lash of the ‘sacred’ thongs by these ‘holy men’ was believed to make the women better able to bear children.

As usual, Christianity tried, unsuccessfully, to n the evil celebration of Lupercalia. It first replaced the lottery of the names of women with a lottery of the names of saints. The idea was that during the following year the young men would emulate the life of the saint whose name they had drawn. Christianity ended up doing in Rome, and elsewhere, as the Romans did.

The idea that you can preserve the appearance of a popular evil and yet somehow turn it to serve the purpose of virtue has survived. Look at all those people who are still trying, helplessly, to use the formats of popular television entertainment to promote good. They might learn something from this episode in history. It failed miserably.

The only success it had was in changing the name of Lupercalia to St Valentine’s Day. It was done in the year 496 by Pope Gelasius, in honour of one Saint Valentine. However, there are as many as 50 different Valentines in Christian legends. Two of them are more famous, although their lives and characters are also shrouded in mystery.

According to one legend, which is more in line with the true nature of this celebration, St Valentine was a ‘lover’s saint’ who had himself fallen in love with his jailer’s daughter.

Due to serious troubles that accompanied such lottery, French government banned the Valentine ritual in 1776. It also vanished over the years in Italy, Austria, Hungry, and Germany. Earlier, during the 17th century when the Puritans were strong it had been banned in England, but King Charles II revived it in 1660.

From England the Valentine ritual arrived in the New World, where enterprising Yankees spotted a good means of making money. Esther A Howland who produced, in the 1840s, one of the first commercial American Valentine Day cards called - what else valentines sold $5,000 worth in the first year. (Then $5,000 was a lot of money.) The valentine industry has been booming ever since.

The same implies for Christmas and Halloween.
Logically, if you really love someone then everyday can be Valentine's day. If you really love to give, then everyday can be Christmas and if you want to dress up as a monster then do so at a photo studio. LOL. i mean come on, there's satan everywhere, everyday why only Halloween?

This is why people call me extreme but if you think I am and you want to go ahead with what you think is right; Insy'Allah I wouldn't be blamed for your sins.

May Allah swt guide us all.

A'qilah Saiere.
