The First Female Convert to Islam: Ourmother Hazrat Khadija

Our mother Hazrat Khadija(ra), the first wife of our beloved Prophet
(saas), was at the same time the first female Muslim.
Our worthy mother made great efforts to assist the spread of Islam
through her intellect, foresight and wisdom.
With her submission, courage and devotion, ourmother Hazrat Khadija
(ra),one of our Prophet's (saas)greatest supporters, was arole model
for all Muslims.
Our Prophet (saas) first told Hazrat Khadija (ra) of the revelation
that came to him; and she, with her intelligence and foresight, her
unquestioning obedience to and trust in our Prophet (saas), realized
that he had been especially chosen by Allah and believed him straight
away . When the prophethood was bestowed upon him, Hazrat Khadija (ra)
said "I bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah" and
converted to Islam.
Hazrat Khadija (ra) was from the Quraysh, one of the leading Arab
tribes, and her family shared the same line of descent as our Prophet
(saas). And although she was subjected to many tests reflecting the
moral valuesof the ignorant Arab society in which she lived, she
always exhibited a most powerful and determined character in the face
of all adversities.
· According to accounts, Hazrat Khadija (ra) died three years
before the hegira (19 April, 620 A.D.) and lived at a time when Islam
had not yet become strong and achieved dominion. Despite the difficult
conditions of the time, and all the persecution by the pagansof Mecca,
she maintained her unquestioning submission to Allah and our Prophet
(saas).
· At a time when there were quite literally only three Muslims
in the world, Hazrat Khadija (ra) would sometimes worshiparound the
Kaaba with theMessenger of Allah (saas) and Hazrat Ali (ra), and
sometimes at home.
· When the pagans of Mecca besieged the Muslims at Shi'bu Abi
Talib,Hazrat Khadija (ra) withstood the siege alongside our Prophet
(saas) with tremendous courage, fortitude and heroism.
· The immaculate line of our Prophet (saas), that will continue
until the Dayof Reckoning, is descendedfrom our mother Hazrat Khadija
(ra). With the exception of Hazrat Maria (ra), whose son Abraham died
subsequently, our Prophet (saas) had no children with any of his other
precious wives.
· Our Prophet (saas) had six children with our mother Hazrat
Khadija (ra).The first of these was Hazrat Fatima, who wouldcontinue
the line, from whom Hazrat Hassan and Hazrat Husseinm whose lines will
also continue until the Day of Reckoning,were born.
· Our mother Hazrat Khadija (ra) was a wealthyperson engaged in
business; but after becoming a Muslim, instead of seeking
worldlyadvantages, she happily used everything she had acquired in
order to earn the approval of Allah and was a role model in terms of
spending her fortune for the sake of Islam.
· Hazrat Khadija's (ra) purity and chastity were renowned even
before herconversion to Islam, for which reason she was known as
"Tâhire" (the spotless and immaculate woman).

The shortening of time is a portent of Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) appearance

The Day of Judgment will not come unless the following incidents come
true…Time will shorten while distances will get shorter by means of
vehicles. (Buhari, Fitan.25; Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Musnad, 2/313)
In our century, voyages which lasted for months in previous ages can
be made in only a few hours in incomparably safer, easier and more
comfortable forms.
This is how the sign of the hadith becomes manifest.
In another hadith of our Prophet (saas) we find the following
information regarding the shortening of time:
Hazrat Anas (ra) relates:"Resûlullah aleyhissalâtu wesselâm told:
The Day of Judgment doesnot come unless times shortens. This
shortening occurs in such a way that ayear lasts as shortly as a
month, a month runs as shortly as a week, a week as a single day, a
day as anhour and an hour as lighting a kindle. (Tirmidhi,Zuhd: 24,
2333)
Time shortens and night and day come close together… (Death, the Day
of Judgment-the Portents of the End Times, p. 374, no. 681)
The hadith also reveals that time-saving will be peculiar to the End Times:
Indeed, communication that took weeks among continents in previous
ages can be accomplished in only a matter of seconds by means of the
Internet and other communication technologies.
In our time, it is quite possible to purchase the goods that used to
arrive at the end of months-longcaravan voyages in a matter of a
couple of weeks, or a month at most.
Today millions of books can be published during the space of time that
wasrequired to publish a single book a few centuries ago.
All these aside, mundane daily tasks such as cleaning, cooking, child
care, maintenance, and shopping no longer take too much time by means
of the state of the art electronic devices.
Thus has this portent of the End Times is also taking place just as
how it was heralded by our Prophet (saas).
It is scientifically proven that time shortens
In the space existing between the surface of theEarth and the
conductive ionosphere, there exists a natural vibration. This
fundamental frequency, which is also known as the"heartbeat of the
world", is called the Schumann Resonance. It was predicted
mathematically by the German physicist Winfried R. Schuman in 1952.
The Schumann Resonance is very important because it encloses the Earth
and thus keeps nature and all living forms under its effect. It is
constantly measured by the world's prominent physics research centers.
During measurements made in the 1950s, the Schumann Resonance was
measured at 7.8 Hertz. This value was thought to remain constant.
Indeed the global military communication system was established over
this frequency. However, in the1980s, a sudden change inthis state
caused great shock for the scientific community, because in 1980, it
was seen that the Schumann Resonance was measuring above 11 Hertz.
Recent reports have revealed that this rate increases even further.
Thechange in the Schumann Resonance frequency indicates the speeding
up of time. Accordingly, 24-hours of time is experienced in 16 hours
orless. That is, the time perceived is shortened. Science is unable to
tell why this rate has increased, or the factor that caused this
increase. With the shortening of time, a portent of the End Times that
our Prophet (saas) foretold 1,400 yearsago, is thus scientifically
proven in our day.
The Earth is getting prepared for the Day of Judgment and by Allah's
leave, its portents are taking place one after another.
SUBTITLES:
ADNAN OKTAR: "In the EndTimes, at the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), days,
weeks will shorten" says our Prophet (saas). Let everyone ask one
another.Compared to the past, have days, weeks, months shortened or
not? Anyone,if any, who says 'No' can write to me. Everyone
unanimously says, "In the past, days were longer; weused to do many
works during the day. Time has shortened." This is clear. This is a
portent of the EndTimes. This is a portent of Hazrat Mahdi (as). It is
a miracle our Prophet (saas) told. (Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's
Live Interview dated August 18, 2010 Samsun AKS TV and Kayseri TV)
ADNAN OKTAR: Everyone says this. The weekend comes in no time. Did the
weekend come so quickly in the past? The days werenot passing. [Now]
the dayends in a moment. One sleeps for a while, for some seven or
eight hours, then he wakes up, has his breakfast and the evening comes
and the day ends. One goes to work and in no time comes back home and
goes to sleep. He has no time to breathe. One is amazed at [how the
time passes so quickly]. That the Day of Judgment is close strengthens
our bonds of brotherhood even more. The closeness of the Day of
Judgment is a factor that encourages love.

In a season of consumerist madness, let’s be grateful, and give

Look at what society has done to itself in the name of consumerism. A
day of thanks (Thanksgiving) has become the prelude to "Black Friday",
the biggest shopping day of the year. Itused to be that Black Friday
did not begin until Friday morning, out of respect for Thanksgiving.
Then the starting gun was moved to midnight, and now it has crept into
Thursday evening. Nothing is sacred.
The Prophet 'Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus the son of Mary), peace be upon
him, has been turned into a marketing strategy. His purported birthday
has become a month of shopping insanity, presidedover by a mythical
sub-deity named Santa. People go into debt, they fight over sale
goods… no mention is made of faith.
We Muslims fall prey to thesame consumerist lifestyle. Sometimes the
holy monthof Ramadan becomes a month of shopping, sleeping and binge
eating, astaghfirullah.
Let us – Christians, Muslims,Jews and all people of God – not follow
this path. Let'shew to a way of sacrifice, zakat (purification),
sadaqah (charity), zuhd (giving up material luxury).We don't have to
be monks, but we must focus on the things that matter: faith and
family.
There are movements that advocate a simple living, back-to-nature,
low-impactlifestyle. In Islam this is called zuhd , which could be
translated as detachment or asceticism. Zuhd is a choice that a person
makes to give up the hunger for material possessions and transgressive
carnal experiences, and live a simple lifestyle dedicated to God.
That's what we need.
The faith in our hearts is more important than the brand name of the
clothes we wear. Where our feet carry us – to someplace good or bad –
is more important than the cost of our shoes. The sincerity in our
hearts is more important than any gift. May Allah help us to see what
is important in life.
The Enjoyment of Delusion
There's a powerful verse from the Bible, Proverbs 30:8-9:
Give me neither poverty nor riches,
grant me only my share of bread to eat,
for fear that surrounded byplenty, I should fall away
and say, "Yahweh – who is Yahweh?"
or else in destitution, take to stealing
and profane the name of my God.
(Yahweh is an ancient Hebrew name for God).
If you visit the shopping malls at Christmastime, andread the news
stories of people lining up from the night before and huddling in
sleeping bags in order tobuy the latest gadgets, then trampling each
other in the rush; if you turn on the TV to the usual Christmas
comedies and "Frosty the Snowman" cartoons, you see that God has been
forgotten, and has even become taboo. It's not politically correct
tospeak of God. Just watch what we broadcast, be hypnotized by our
Christmas elevator music, buy and forget…
Allah says about this:
"Know that the life of thisworld is but amusement and diversion and
adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of
wealth and children – like the example of a rainwhose [resulting]
plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned
yellow; then it becomes debris. And in the Hereafter is severe
punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the
worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion." – Quran, Surat
Al-Hadeed, 57:20
This theme is struck repeatedly in the Quran. The amusement and
adornment of the dunya is an illusion that dries up and crumbles like
a corn stalk, and becomes dust. It is empty, the enjoyment of delusion
. Wow. That phrase, "enjoyment of delusion", makes me think of a
madman alone in a room, tied in a straight jacket, engaged in a
pleasant delusion playing only in his mind.
I know people who have a bedroom devoted to all thejunk that they have
boughtbut do not use. They never enter that room and the door is kept
locked. Isn't that a kind of mental illness?
Gratitude
How do we resist the onslaught of the season? How do we remember Allah?
The greatest tool in our toolbox is gratitude. By looking at what
we've been blessed with, our hearts become content. Socrates commented
that contentment is natural wealth, while luxury is artificial
poverty. Contentment does not mean complacency or passivity; it refers
to a stateof awareness of our blessings, and gratitude forthe smallest
to the greatestprovisions – the tiniest cellsin our bodies, to the
grand earth itself.
Let's become aware of what we have: the food onour plates, our ability
to see and hear, the love and health of our families, sanity,
intelligence, knowledge… these things are huge. When we open our eyes
and start to see, then we become content and happy, and we see how
meaningless are things are like big-screen TVs, the latest smartphone,
or another new dress.
