Who Is Muslim? (Dawah #7

Muslim - Those who follow Islam

We Muslim believe the Oneness of God, 

We call Him Allah (mean ONE GOD), 

The Supreme, and Eternal, Infinite, and Mighty, Merciful and

Compassionate, Creator, and Provider.

Allah (SWT) has no father, no Mother, no Sons

Nor any family. None equal to Him.

He is God of all mankind, not of a special 

Tribe or Race. He is our ONE in ONLY GOD.

"Our Lord! make us Muslim, bowing to Thy (will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will).

Says in the Holy Quran:

"Our Lord! make of us Muslim, bowing to They (will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will), and show us our places for the celebration of (due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy): Thou art the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful."

"Our Lord! send among them an Apostle of their own, who shall rehearse Thy Signs to them And instruct them in Scripture and Wisdom, and sanctify them: for Thou art the Exalted in Might, The Wise."

"And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him we choose and rendered pure in this world: and he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the righteous."

Behold! his Lord said to him: "Bow (thy will to Me)" he said:

"I bow (my will) to the Lord and Cherisher of the Universe."

And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob:

"O my sons! Allah hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam."

Were ye witnesses, when Death appeared before Jacob? 

Behold, he said to his sons: "What will ye worship after me?

They said: "We shall worship they Allah and the Allah of thy fathers, of Abraham, Ismail, and Isaac, the ONE (True) Allah. To Him we bow (in Islam)."

That was a People that hath passed away. They shall reap the fruit of what they did, and yet of what ye do! of their merits there is no question in your case!

They say: 

"Become Jews or Christian if ye would be guided (to Salvation), "Say thou:"

Nay! (I would rather follow) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with Allah."

Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelations given to us and to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord: we make no difference between one and another of them: and we bow to Allah (in Islam)."

So if they believe and ye believe, they are indeed on the right path; but if they turn back, it is they who are in schism; but Allah will suffice thee as against them, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

(Our religion is) the Baptism of Allah: and who can baptize better than Allah? and it is He whom we worship.

Say: will ye dispute with us about Allah, seeing that He is our Lord and your Lord; that we responsible for our doings and ye for yours; and that we are sincere (in our faith) in Him?

Or do ye say that Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob,and the Tribes were Jews or Christian? 

Say: Do ye know better than Allah?

Ah! who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they have from Allah? but Allah is not unmindful of what ye do!

Sura Al Baqarah, 2:128-140

What Is Islam (Dawah #2)

Islam is the religion of all Muslim:

a. Which means submission to the will of Allah and obedience of Allah laws.
    The founder of Islam is no other than Allah and the date of the founding of Islam goes back to the age of Adam.
b. Complete submission of man before God.
    Is the only faith that God revealed to mankind from the very beginning. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus (PBUTA).

Begin by establishing the principle of the oneness of God as it is from Him that life issues and unto Him that is return.

"This day I perfected your religion other than Islam (Submission to God). Never will be accepted of Him! and in the hereafter he will be the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good)"

What is Paradise?

PARADISE

Paradise - Means Jannah in Arabic word. It is the place to all Muslim who say the shahada

 "La Illahah Illa lah Mohammad Ar Rasul Allah." As Allah (SWT) promise to all the believers who believe in Him.

Verily the companions of the Garden shall that Day have joy in all that they do; They and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on Thrones (of dignity); (Every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for; "Peace!" a Word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful!

The Prophet (SAW) said:
"There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Raiyan and those who observe fasts will enter through it on the Day of Resurrection and none except them will enter through it.
[Sahih Al-Bukhari]

About Me

Hi there, peace to all of you.

I was born and raised in Roman Catholic Faith in the Philippines., Now I'm a Muslim, believing the Faith of Islam.

All praise is due to Allah, the Almighty. We seek help from Him, we request His Guidance, we hope for His Mercy, Forgiveness, and Blessing.

We seek refuge with Him against our own evils and against committing sins.

Whomsoever Allah guides, none can misguide, "and whomsoever Allah leaves astray none can guide."

I bear witness openly and wholeheartedly that there is no deity worthy to be worshiped but Allah, who has no partner, and I bear witness openly that Muhammad the son of Abdullah (PBUH) is His slave and last Messenger.

He fulfilled the mission and delivered the message of Islam and advised the nation.

So that Allah has lift the hardship of the community and he strived in Allah's way till he passed away. He worshiped His Lord glory be to Him, till the end of his life.

He suffered during his lifetime in order to guide the misguided and to lead the distracted.

Alhamdulillah! that I am one of those being guided (Muslim) believing the FAITH OF ISLAM the ONLY RELIGION accepted from ALLAH (SWT).

Being a Muslim I need to believe the five Pillars of Islam:

1. To Believe in One God (Allah) SWT and Prophet Muhammad is the last Prophet of Allah.
2. To Pray five (5X) times a day
3. To Fast the month of Ramadan
4. To Pay Zakat
5. To Perform Pilgrimage (Hajj) one in a life time (Mecca)

And the Six Pillars of Faith

1. To Believe in One God (Allah) SWT
2. To Believe His Angels
3. To Believe the Messenger
4. To Believe His Books
5. To Believe the Day of Judgement Part 1 , Part 2, Part 3
6. To Believe the Destiny

Allah (SWT) will question us on the Day of Judgment

People will be question, on the Day of Judgment:

About Faith:

You will asked about "Laa Ilaaha Illallah" ( To believe in One God)

[Narrated by Tirmidhi]

About Salah (Prayer):

"The first thing which the servant will be questioned about on the Day of Resurrection."

[Narrated by Tirmidhi]

About those under their care:

"O believers! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire, whose fuel is mankind and stones."

[Surah Al-Tahreem, 66:6]

"Every one of you is a guardian, and every one of you will be asked about those in his care."

The man a guardian over his family, and will be questioned about those in his care.

The woman is a guardian over her husband's house, and be questioned about that her care.

The servant is a guardian over his master's property, and will be questioned for that in his care."

[Narrated by: Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

About the bodily organs:

"Do not follow that which you have no knowledge of (your) hearing, sight and heart - you will be questioned about all of them."

[Surah Al-Isra, 17:36]

About delight:

"Then, you shall be questioned on that day about delight."

[Surah Al-Takhathur, 102:8]

About Intentions:

"Those who desire the life of the Present and its glitter-to them We shall pay (the price of) their deeds therein without diminution. They are those for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter but the Fire: vain are the designs they frame therein, and of  no effect are the deeds that they do!"

[Surah Hud, 11:15-16]

In a long hadith narrated by Muslim, we are told that the men whose cases shall be judged first on the Day of Resurrection shall be a man who was martyred, a man who acquired knowledge and taught it and who recited the Holy Qur'an and a man to whom Allah (SWT) had been generous and given many varieties of wealth. These men will acknowledge Allah (SWT) favors upon them, and will claim that they did these for His sake. They will exposes as liars, for they did not do these for the sake of Allah (SWT). The man who was martyred had been fighting in order to be called brave, the scholar or reciter of the Qur'an had acted thus in order to gain a reputation. Since deeds are according to their intentions, these people received what they had sought these deeds, and so they will not receive reward for them on the Day of Judgment. Hence they will be dragged into Hell.

There are four questions which everyone must face: "The feet of a servant will not move on the Day of Resurrection until he has been questioned about [Four things]:

[Narrated by Tirmidhi]

Four Question:

1. His Life - How he spent it.
2. His Knowledge - How much he acted upon it.
3. His Wealth - Where he earned it and how he spent it.
4. His Body - How he used it.

THE GREAT INTERCESSION

In the confusion and terror of the resurrection plain, people will remember the prophets who were sent to them. 

We are told that people will go first to Prophet Adam (alayhi salam), the father of mankind, and reminding him of his dignified status, will ask him to intercede before Allah (S.W.T.)

He refuse and said go to Noah (alayhi salam)

 He will also decline, He will send them to Abraham (alayhi salam),

He also decline, He will send them to Moses (alayhi salam), 

He will also decline, He will send them to Jesus (alayhi salam), He also decline.

 And finally, they will come to Muhammad ((alayhi salam), and say,

"O Muhammad (S.A.W.) ! You are the Messenger of Allah (S.W.T.), and the Last of the Prophets; Allah forgave you your former and latter sins, so intercede for us before Allah (S.W.T.); do you not see what [situation] we are in? Do you not see what has come to us?"

Then, the Prophet (S.A.W.) will get up, go and prostrate beneath the Ars, and glorify Allah (S.W.T.) with unique praises.

He will be told, "O Muhammad! Ask, that you may be given, and intercede that your intercession may be granted!"

THE BALANCES

THE BALANCES

The balances will be erected and the deeds will be weighed. These balances will be real and will have pans and needles. Allah (S.W.T.), the Exalted and Glorified, will give the deeds of the creatures a material existence that will have weight. The good deeds will be place in one pan and the evil deeds in the other, as Allah (S.W.T.) 

Has informed in the Holy Qu'ran Surah Al-anbiya (21:47)

We shall set up scales of justice for the Day of Judgment, so that not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least. And if there be (no more than) the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it (to account): and enough are We to take account.

FIRE OF THE HELL

Allah (S.W.T.) Says, O ye in sin! get ye apart this Day! "Did I not enjoin on you, O ye children of Adam, that ye should not worship Satan: for that he was to you an enemy avowed?-

"And that ye should worship Me, (for that) this was the Straight Way? "But he did lead astray a great multitude of you, did ye not, then, understand?

"This is the Hell of which ye were (Repeatedly) warned! "Embrace ye the (Fire) this Day, for that ye (Persistently) rejected (Truth)."

That Day shall We set a seal on their mouths. But their hands will speak to Us, and their feet bear witness, to all that they did. 
[Surah Yasiin (36:59-65)]

On the Day that the enemies of Allah (S.W.T.) will gathered together to the Fire, they will be marched in ranks.

At length, when they reach the (Fire), their hearing, their sight, and their skins will bear witness against them, as to (all) their deeds. They will say to their skins: "Why bear ye witness against us?" They will say: "Allah (S.W.T.) hath given us speech,- (He) Who giveth speech to everything: He created you for the first time, and unto Him were ye to return.
[Surah Hamiim (41:19-21)]

PARADISE

Verily the companions of the Garden shall that Day have joy in all that they do; They and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on Thrones (of dignity); (Every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for; "Peace!" a Word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful!

THE RECKONING

"To Us shall be their coming, then with Us shall be their reckoning."

 [Surah Al-Takweer (88:25-26)]

People will be brought to account for their deeds, as well as for their resolved intentions.

When two Muslims encounter one another with their swords, the murderer and the murdered shall be in the Fire." 

[Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim]

There will be some who will enter heaven without reckoning. In the hadith narrated by Muslim, the Prophet (S.A.W.) says, that the nations of all prophets were exposed to him.

He saw some Prophets with only one or two people, or their family members with them (i.e. no-one else had believed on them). Then, He saw a huge crowd, and thought that was his ummah.

Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) alayhis-salam told him that it was actually the ummah of Prophet Moses (alayhis-salam), but he indicated to him a larger crowd which stretched from one horizon to the other, and told him that this was his ummah.

He said, "and with them are 70,000 who shall enter heaven without reckoning or punishment." They are those who do not use charms, nor seek them from others, nor draw omens, but rely upon their Lord."

Martyrs of the battlefield will also be exempted from the reckoning. 

"While the servant are standing at the place of reckoning, a [group of] people will come with their swords on their backs dripping blood, and they will assemble at the gate of Heaven. It will be asked, "Who are these?" whereupon it will be said, "They are the martyrs; they were alive, receiving sustenance." 

[Narrated by Tabarani]

THE BALANCES

Belief in the Day of Judgment (Part 3)

Mankind will be exposed before their Lord. "And they shall be exposed before their Lord in ranks. " [Sura Al-Kahf (18:48)]

The Prophet (S.A.W.) said, "Mankind will be exposed three exposures on the Day of Resurrection. 

The (first) two exposures shall be disputation and excuses, but at the third [exposure], the scrolls [of deeds] will be distributed, and then some will take them in their right hands, others in their left."

"O mankind! You are striving in your deeds towards your Lord and [towards] meeting Him. Then, as for he who is given his book in his right hands shall be reckoned an easy reckoning, and he shall return to his family members in joy.

 And, as for the one who is given his book in his left hand, he shall call for destruction, and shall taste of a blazing fire." 

[Surah Al-Inshiqaq (84:6-12)]

THE QUESTIONING

"Then, by your Lord, We shall surely question them all, about what they used to do"

 [Surah Al Hijr (15:92-93)]

People will be questioned , on the Day of Judgment:

1. About faith: You will asked about "Laa Ilaaha Illallah" (To belive in One God) [Narrated by Tirmidhi]
2. About salah (prayer): "The first thing which the servant will be questioned about on the Day of Resurrection. [Narrated by Tirmidhi]
3. About those under their care: "O believers! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire, whose fuel is mankind and stones." [Surah Al-Tahreem (66:6)] "Every one of you is a guardian, and every one of you will be asked about those in his care. The man is a guardian over his family, and will be questioned about those in his care. The woman is a guardian over her husband's house, and will be questioned about that in her care. The servant is a guardian over his master's property, and will be questioned for that in his care." [Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim]
4. About the bodily organs: " Do not follow that which you have no knowledge of; (your) hearing, sight and heart - you will be questioned about all of them." [Surah Al-Isra (17:36)]
5. About delight: "Then, you shall be questioned on that day about delight." [Surah Al-Takathur (102:8)]
6. About intentions: "Whoever desires the life of the world and its adornment, We shall repay their deeds to them in it, and they will not suffer any short payment therein. They are those for whom there is nothing but the Fire in the Hereafter. In vain shall be that which they wrought therein, and null shall be that which they used to do." [Surah Hud (11:15)] In a long hadith narrated by Muslim, we are told that the men whose cases shall be judged first on the Day of Resurrection shall be a man who was martyred, a man who acquired knowledge and taught it and who recited the Holy Qur'an and a man to whom Allah (S.W.T.) had been generous and given many varieties of wealth. These men will acknowledge Allah's (S.W.T.) favors upon them, and will claim that they did these deeds for His sake. They will exposes as liars, for they did not do these deeds for the sake of Allah (S.W.T.). The man who was martyred had been fighting in order to be called brave, the scholar or reciter of the Qu'ran had acted thus in order to gain a reputation. Since deeds are according to their intentions, these people received what they had sought through these deeds, and so they will not receive reward for them on the Day of Judgment. Hence, they will be dragged into Hell.
7. There are four questions which everyone must face: "The feet of a servant will not move on the Day of Resurrection until he has been questioned about [four things]: [Narrated by Tirmidhi]

1. His Life - How he spent it.

2. His Knowledge - How much he acted upon it.

3. His Wealth - Where he earned it and how he spent it.

4. His Body - How he used it.

THE RECKONING

PREORDAINMENT

We are required to believe that Allah (S.W.T.) knows everything that happens. 
"Indeed, Allah (S.W.T.) knows all things."
 [Surah Al-Anfal (8:75)]

Allah ! There is no god but He, -the Living. The self subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) 'Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge, except what He wills. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High the Supreme (in glory).
 [Surah Al-Baqarah (2:255)]

Before bringing creation into existence, Allah (S.W.T.) wrote on a tablet all things which were to come . The Prophet (S.A.W.) said,

"Allah (S.W.T.) wrote the measures of creation 50,000 years before the creation of the heavens and earth" 
[Related by Muslim]

According to another hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad,

"The first thing that Allah (S.W.T.) created was the pen, and He ordered it to write everything that would occur until the Day of Judgment. "

 [This information is thus inscribed in in what is called Al-Lawhul Mahfooz, (The Preserved Tablet)]

"And all things have We recorded in a clear record."
 [Surah Yasiin (36:12)]

"Nay, it is a glorious Qu'ran in a preserved tablet."
 [Surah Al-Burooj (85:21-22)]

"When Allah (S.W.T.) created creation, He wrote a book, which is with Him above the Throne, (it says), 'My mercy overcomes My wrath!
[Sahih Al-Bukhari]

Al-Waleed ibn Ubadah entered upon his father, Ubadah while the latter was on his death-bed, and asked him for advice. 'Ubadah said, "help me to sit up."
They did so, and then he said,

"My son ! You will never taste faith , nor reach the true reality of knowing Allah (S.W.T.), until you believe in Qadar (destiny), the good of it and the bad of it."

His son said,
"O father! How am I to know what is the good of Qadar and (what is) the evil of it?"

Father said,
"You should know that whatever missed you could never have befallen you, and whatever befell you could never have missed you....O son! If you die without being [certain] on this, you would enter the Fire."
[Recorded by Ahmad]

"Allah (S.W.T.) created the creation according to His knowledge. He appointed measures for them and laid out life spans. Nothing was hidden from Him before He created them, and He knew all of what they would do before He created them.

He commanded them to obey Him and forbade them from disobeying Him. Everything runs according to His Qadar and will, and His will becomes effective.

The servants have no will except that which Allah (S.W.T.) wills them to have, for whatever Allah wills is, and whatever He does not will is not.

Allah (S.W.T.) guides whom He wills and grants him protection and well-being out of His grace. And He leaves to stray whom He wills, and forsakes him and puts him to trial out of justice.

Mankind acts in whatever way he wills, between His grace and justice. Allah (S.W.T.) is exalted above partners and rivals. No one can repel His Qadar, nor postpone His command, nor predominates against His Order. We believe in all of this, and are certain that all are form Him."

Continue to Part 2

The Sixth Pillar of Faith Qadar (Destiny)

To believe in Qadar (destiny), that the good of it and the bad of it is all from Allah (S.W.T.).

Allah (S.W.T.), the Exalted, is the Creator, Lord and Sustainer of everything in existence. Neither good nor evil comes into being without His will and knowledge.

Abu Hurairah (R.A.) said: 
The Prophet (S.A.W.) came out while we were disputing about Qadar. He got so angry that his face became red, as if the pomegranate was squished on his cheeks; and he said:

Is this what you have been ordered with? Indeed those before you perished when they disputed in this matter, I asked that you resolve not to dispute in it.
 [Hadith Hasan, Related by Tirmidhi]

THE DEFINITION SHOWS QADAR TO CONSIST OF

1. The primordial knowledge of Allah (S.W.T.) by which He arbitrated and decided the existence and creation of whatever He willed, all written in al-lawhul mahfooz (The Preserved Tablet). Thus everything that had, has and will happen in this life and in the universe has been explicitly written to the fullest detail.
2. The creation (the concept of bringing about or creating) of all things written in exactly the same way and fashion as in al-lawhul mahfooz.

However, the disbelievers will often use Qadar as a reason not to believe. Some pagans claimed that since Allah (S.W.T.) had allowed them to commit disbelief and practice polytheism, He must have approved of it, and thus they attempted to shield their misdeeds behind Qadar. Others may claim that there is no sense in their believing and doing good if Allah (S.W.T.) already knows their outcomes. These and similar arguments are, as we shall see, baseless and false.

Iman Ahmad (R.A.) has narrated that the pagans came to the Prophet (S.A.W.), disputing with him over Qadar. Thereupon, Allah revealed some verses of Surah al-Qamar as a decisive rebuttal to them:

Indeed, the guilty ones are in error and frenzy. The day when they shall be dragged into the Fire on their faces, [it will said to them] "Taste ye the touch of Hell!" Indeed, We have created everything according to a Decree (qadar)."
[Surah Qamar (54:47-49)]

Exposure on the Day of Judgement

The Prophet (SAW) said:

"Mankind will be exposed three exposures on the Day of Resurrection.

The (first) two exposures shall be disputation and excuses, but at the third [exposure],

the scrolls [of deeds] will be distributed, and then some will take them in their right hands, others in their left."

"O mankind! You are striving in your deeds toward your Lord and [towards] meeting Him.
Then, as for he who is given his book in his right hands shall be reckoned an easy reckoning, 
and he shall return to his family members in joy. And as for the one who is given his book in his left hand, he shall call for destruction, and shall taste of a blazing fire."
[Surah Al-Inshiqaq, 84:6-12]

What is Hijab?

Hijab refers to both the head covering traditionally worn by
Muslim women and modest Muslim styles of dress in general.

Most Islamic legal systems define this type of modest dressing
As covering everything except the face and hands in public.

According to Islamic scholarship, hijab is given the wider
Meaning of modesty, privacy, and morality;

The words for a headscarf or veil used in the
Qur'an are khimār (خمار) and Jilbaab(جلباب), not hijab.
Still another definition is metaphysical, where al-hijab refers
To "the veil which separates man or the world from God.

Nazma Khan tells us about the persecution she faced due to her hijab and why she started
World Hijab Day

Dua for Good Health

The picture above is not mine, I just want to share to all Muslim including me to benefit the Dua for the cure of diseases we have.  

Sura Alfatihah, the opening chapter of the Holy Qur'an can help to start the prayer:

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir  Raheem 

In the name of Allah, 
Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and 
Sustainer of the Worlds;
Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
Master of the Day Judgement.
You do we worship,
And Your aid we seek.
Show us the straight way,
The way of those on whom
You have bestowed Your Grace,
Those whose (portion) Is not wrath,
And who go not astray. 
[Surah Al-Fatihah- The Opening Chapter]

After Sura Al-Fatihah, Read also the following Surah above:

The reason I post this prayer because right now, I'm not feeling good and I'm really need your prayer, may Allah forgive me and heal my sickness. Amiin.

Who is Aisha bint Abu Bakr?

Aisha (R.A) was the daughter of Abu Bakr (R.A), the Prophet (S.A.W.) close friend. When the Prophet (S.A.W.) first wife Khadija died, the Prophet (S.A.W.) felt very sad, and Abu Bakr (R.A.) because of his love for the Prophet (S.A.W.), offered him his daughter in marriage.

Aisha (R.A) was then still young. She was a lively and intelligent girl and the Prophet (S.W.A.) loved her and enjoyed her company. He liked to amuse her by playing with her, and sometimes they used to run races together. She said that sometimes she won and sometimes he did.

She learned much about Islam from the Prophet (S.A.W.) and used to question him about it. When she learned something she never forgot it . She was also a good speaker. Because of these qualities she became an important person in the community, and even before the Prophet's (S.A.W.) death, people used to come to her to ask her questions about Islam.

The Prophet (S.A.W.) was pleased with her intelligence and said to his people:

"You can get half your religion from this rosy-cheeked girl."

As well as providing the Prophet (S.A.W.) with love and companionship at home, she often accompanied him on journeys and expeditions.

When the Prophet (S.A.W.) felt his death was near he asked to be taken to Aisha's apartment beside the mosque. There she nursed him until at last he died in her arms. He was buried at the very place where he died, and what was Aisha' (R.A.) apartment is now part of the Great Mosque in Medinah

After the Prophet's (S.A.W.) death Aisha (R.A.) kept her position of respect among Muslims. She used to teach other women, and both men and women came to her to learn what the Prophet (S.A.W.) had said and how he had behaved. In this way she became one of the most important of the reporters of Hadith (the Tradition of the Porphet).

Her life shows how a Muslim girl can use her intelligence and scholarship to make a very great contribution to the cause of Islam.

It also shows how, like Khadija (R.A.) before her, Aisha (R.A) was able to give the Prophet that love and understanding which helped him through all those years of struggle and fighting in the years after the Hijra to Medinah.

Did Allah perfect His Religion?

"This day have those who reject Faith given up all hope of your religion yet fear them not but fear Me, This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion."

Surah Al-Maa'ida, 5:3

Do all creatures worship Allah?

"Do they seek for other than the Religion Of Allah? while all creatures in the heavens and on earth Have, willing or unwilling, bowed to His Will (accepted Islam). And to Him shall they all be brought back."

Surah Al-Imran (3:83)

Why did Allah create us?

"I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me"

Surah Az-Zaariyaat, 51:56

Not a messenger did We send before you without this inspiration sent by Us to him: that there is no god but I (Allah); therefore worship and serve me.

Surah Al-Anbiya, 21:25

"The Religion before ALLAH is ISLAM (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent there from except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account."

Surah Al-Imran, 3:19

"Not for (idle) sport did We Create the Heavens and the Earth and all that is between."

"Allah created the heavens and the earth for just ends, and in order that each soul may find the recompense of what it has earned, and none of them shall be wronged."

Surah Al-Jaathiya, 45:22

My Faith

All praise is due to Allah, the Almighty. We seek help from Him, we request His Guidance, we hope for His Mercy, Forgiveness, and Blessing.

We seek refuge with Him against our own evils and against committing sins.

Whomsoever Allah guides, none can misguide, "and whomsoever Allah leaves astray none can guide."

I bear witness openly and wholeheartedly that there is no deity worthy to be worshiped but Allah, who has no partner, and I bear witness openly that Muhammad the son of Abdullah (SAW) is His slave and last Messenger.

He fulfilled the mission and delivered the message of Islam and advised the nation.

So that Allah has lift the hardship of the community and he strived in Allah's way till he passed away. He worshiped His Lord glory be to Him, till the end of his life.

He suffered during his lifetime in order to guide the misguided and to lead the distracted.
