2] If I make it to Ramadhan, Allah will see what good I’ll do!!

2]
A friend of mine took a seat in the place for 'Eid prayer, and he
began to talk to himself secretly, hewas going over the memories of an
entire month…an entire month passed, as if it was one day. As he sat,
he was going over these nights that have now left him, and the days
that were now gone. He tried to linkhimself with some of the people
that were around him, only to find the distance between them far…they
entered the "battlefield" in one day, actually one hour, but he
delayed and procrastinated, no, he actually slept, until they all
passed him. He tried tolook at them as closely as possible, but he was
unable. For indeed they passed him by a great distance, and won the
great big reward… My friend was searching through the "pages" of
hislife, through the actions that he did this past month, so that he
may find something to lift up his broken soul. He turnedto his record
of Qur'anic recitation, and could not find one completion of the Holy
Qur'an! And he would hear, not from the pious people of the past, but
from news of the pious people around him, even the youth, those that
finished reciting the Qur'an 5 times, even those that finished 6
times, actually those that finished the Qur'an 10 times!!
He tries to decrease his depression by turning to his record of
generosity and giving to those around him and those Muslims outside of
his country that are less fortunate, especially because he knows that
Allah has blessed Him with wealth. But he did not do as much as those
who were like him, from charity, prayer, and good deeds…a sigh…a short
silence…his charity and generosity were not proportionate to what
Allah gave him from wealth. The "beggar and the outcast" did not have
a share of his wealth in this month, except a smalltrivial amount.
Actually, there were those noble souls whom Allah Ta'ala saved from
stinginess, who had less money, but gave more…
He turned his face away from this "record" of his life, and he tried
to decrease his pain and sorrow by turning to another "record" hoping
to find himself ahead of others, even if in just one area. So he
turned to the "record" of the restrainingor fasting of his body parts.
Here his hands dropped, he remembered many nights where he allowed his
eyes, ears, and tongue to do dark things…
He remembered the gatherings when he and his friends would watch
television shows that would take a person off the road to Heaven in
thisblessed month, from supplication; to the doors of Hell is where
these outrageous shows would take a person. Movies and sitcoms that a
person with intellect would feel shame to watch--not to mention a
believer that is aware of his heart and actions-- in a month otherthan
Ramadhan. So how about the month of Mercyand Acceptance?!
And my friend remembered, while this pain and sorrow felt as if they
would split his insides, how much time he wasted watching theseworldly
sports and races, that made him too busy to worry about the races to
the hereafter. He remembered this and he was crying for this great
deception: How could he worry himself for these races which would have
one winner out of 500 or more, he would concentrate, time,
energy,money, and only 5,10,or even 100 people would win out of
millions of competitors! He remembered this and he would admonish
himself, how could he ignore the match for which the successful
outcome is guaranteed?! And which success is it? The prize for our
race is gardens, and the pleasure of the Merciful, and rivers, and
trees, and the "companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,
like unto Pearls well-guarded", and the success rate for the person
who is sincere andfollows, is 100%!! But, he loved the world in which
he overstepped his bounds, and chased after!!
As he was sitting in his place in the place for 'Eid prayer, he looked
and sawsome of his friends sitting and relaxing just as they were
during those Ramadhan nights. He saw them in the best of moods, with
nice clothes, and their smiles that they would give out everywhere.
And when helooked elsewhere, he saw some of the righteous slaves of
Allah, sitting in the front rows, he could see the happiness on
theirfaces. It was as if one of them --had he not been scared to
reveal his good deeds-- would say with his tongue," "Come you all!"
Read this my record!"…they wore new clothes just like his friends, but
what a difference between this smile and that smile, and what a
difference between those new clothes and those new clothes. Here his
feelings began to change, and he started to ask himself questions.

1a] Ramadan 2012, The 14th Day

1a]
The consciousness apparent inthese cases though is, of course, of
Allah's infinite wisdom and knowledge. It is Allah Who created
thekidney cells, as well as themolecules discussed, and Who orders
them to accomplish their respective tasks. In the Qur'an, Allah
informs us that He constantly sends down "commands" to the beings He
created:
It is Allah Who created the seven heavens and of the Earth the same
number, the Command descending down through all of them, so that you
might know that Allah has power over all things and that Allah
encompasses all things in His knowledge. (Surat at-Talaq, 12)
Clearly, Allah, Who createdeverything in the universe, is surely able
to bring the dead to life. Of this fact, Allah states the following:
Do they not see that Allah-He Who created the heavens and the Earth
and was not wearied by creating them-has the power to bring the dead
to life? Yes indeed! He has power over all things. (Surat al-Ahqaf,
33)
A Response To The Claim That ''Nobody Would Be Upset If It Were Lions
Or Tigers, Rather Than Monkeys''
Some Darwinists maintainthat evolution is rejected as a matter of
pride and that the problem lies in the fictitious ancestor being a
monkey, and that there would be no problem if people were told "your
ancestors were lions or tigers." But that isa grave error.
There is in fact no unease or such state of affairs along those lines.
Darwinists are of course well aware of this. The greatest problem
facing evolution is THAT IT IS ANIDEOLOGY, A SUPERSTITIOUS, PAGAN
RELIGION BASED ON FALSEHOOD .
The problem facing evolution is that it is depicted as scientific,
DESPITE NOT BEING SUPPORTED BY ANY SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. AND THE FACT
THAT IT IS A DECEPTION IMPOSED ON PEOPLE FOR THE LAST 150 YEARS BY
FALSE EVIDENCE AND FRAUD .
One of the greatest problems regarding evolution is that despite being
a complete and utter fraud, it is PROTECTED BY A DICTATORIAL REGIME
right across the world andimposed through force and pressure.
That human beings are chance entities descendedfrom animals, for which
reason IT REPRESENTS THE SOURCE OF ALL DICTATORIAL REGIMES, RACIST AND
SEPARATIST ACTIVITIES, WARS, SLAUGHTER AND BLOODTHIRSTY REGIMES .
Monkeys are not the problem, therefore. If Almighty Allah had revealed
that He had created us and other living things through evolution, and
if we were to see millions of pieces ofevidence for that, then wewould
definitely be the first and most determinedsupporters of that fact.
But the claim in question is just another Darwinist propaganda
technique. Efforts are being made to play down the great problems
facing Darwinism and to make people forget that Darwinism is the
gravest peril facing mankind. The fact is, however, that withall the
claims it makes, EVOLUTIONIS THE WORSTFRAUD IN HISTORY .
The Mahdi Will Definitely Appear
Even if only one day ofthe world remained, Allahwould extend that day
until he (the Mahdi ) takespower. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi
Alamat al-Mahdi, p. 10)
If it were the last day of life, Allah would prolong that day until He
sends a man (Mahdi) from the Family of my [Muhammad's] House. (Ibid.,
p. 10)
The Mahdi will come to my [Muhammad's] community… In his time, my
community will be blessed with a blessing the like of which has never
been seen before. He will cause much rain tofall, and the plants of
the ground will hold back nothing. ( Ibid., p. 9)
Even if only one night remained for the world, Allah would extend it,
so that one from my House would come and rule the world. His name
matches mine, and his father's name my father's name. Just as the
world was filled with cruelty, he will fill it with justice. (Ibid.,
p. 11)/

1] Ramadan 2012, The 14th Day

1]
He is Allah – there is no deity but Him. He is the Knower of the
Unseen and the Visible. He is theAll-Merciful, the Most Merciful. He
is Allah – there is no deity but Him. He is the King, the Most Pure,
the Perfect Peace, the Trustworthy, the Safe guarder, the Almighty,
the Compeller,the Supremely Great. Glory be to Allah above all they
associate with Him. He is Allah – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of
Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the
heavens and Earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.
(Surat al-Hashr, 22-24)
One should beg one's Lord with a will and full devotion, for there is
nothing in the eye of Allah which He cannot grant. (Muslim)
Allah shapes events from inside and outside. But Hedoes not eliminate
the need for free will. That didnot happen in the time of the Prophet
Moses (pbuh).Nor of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) nor of our Prophet
(saas). Peopleimagine these events will eliminate the need for free
will. But nothing to eliminate free will has ever happened. And nor
will it. Things are continuing in line with the test, insha'Allah. (A9
TV, April 11, 2012)
Allah Has Power Over Everything
Allah, the Creator of everything, is the sole possessor of all beings.
It is Allah Who heaps up theheavy clouds, heats and brightens the
Earth, variesthe direction of the winds,holds birds suspended up in
the sky, splits the seed, makes a man's heart beat,ordains
photosynthesis in plants, and keeps planets in their separate orbits.
People generally surmise that such phenomena occur according to "the
laws of physics," "gravity,""aerodynamics," or other physical factors;
however, there is one significant truth these people ignore:all such
physical laws were created by Allah. In fact, the only possessor of
power in the universe is Allah.
Allah rules all the systems at any moment in the universe, regardless
of whether we are aware of them, or if we are asleep, sitting,
walking. Each of the myriad of processes inthe universe, all essential
to our existence, is under Allah's control. Even our ability to just
take a small step forward depends onAllah's Creation in countless
minute details, including Earth's force of gravity, the structure of
the human skeleton, the nervous system and muscular system, the brain,
the heart, and even the rotation speed of the Earth.
Attributing the existence of the world and of the entire universe to
sheer coincidence is complete delusion. The exquisite order of the
Earth and theuniverse completely contradicts the possibility of
formation through coincidence, and is, rather,a clear sign of Allah's
infinite might. For instance, the Earth's orbit around the Sun
deviates only 2.8 mm in every 29 kms from the right path. If this
deviation were 0.3 mm longer or shorter, then living beings all
overthe Earth would either freeze or be scorched. While it is
virtually impossible for even a marble to revolve in the same orbit
without any deviation, the Earth accomplishes such a course despite
its giganticmass. As stated in the Qur'an, "...Allah has appointed a
measure for all things..." (Surat at-Talaq, 3). In effect, the
splendid order in the universe is maintained as a result of fantastic
systems that depend on highly delicateequilibriums.
Some people hold the perverted belief that Allah"created everything
and then left them on their own." However, any event, taking place in
any area of the universe, occurs solely by Allah's Will, and under His
control. It is stated in the Qur'an:
Do you not know that Allah knows everything in heaven and Earth? That
is in a Book. That iseasy for Allah. (Surat al-Hajj, 70)
Elaborate processes taking place in the bodies of living things are
impressive examples that help us to grasp Allah's might. For instance,
at every moment, your kidneys filter your blood and extricate those
harmful molecules to be excreted from the body. This screening and
elimination process, which can be carried out by a single kidney cell,
canonly be accomplished by agiant haemodialyser (artificial kidney). A
haemodialyser was consciously designed by scientists. A kidney,
however, does not sense, or have a decision-makingcentre, nor the
faculty of thought. In other words, an unconscious kidney cellcan
accomplish tasks that otherwise demand an elaborate thinking process.
It is possible to encounter millions of such examples in living
beings. Molecules,composed of unconscious matter, perform tasks so
remarkable they would otherwise suggest consciousness. ...

Why I chose Islam

I was raised in a house where we prayed every night and morning. We
were not taught set prayers but to pray from the heart. We went to
church every Sunday and were active participants inthe activities held
there.....
By the time I was in my late teens I was a missionary.
I always felt close to �God'and prayer was a way of life for me. Deep
in my mind, for I could never voice any doubts, I had some misgivings;
some things that didn't make sense to me but as a missionary I felt I
was calling to God, not to that particular church. I knew God, to be
the Infinitely Powerful Being Who had created all there is. I
couldrecognize a harmony and structure in all the nature around me,
yet I found anabsence of order wherever I looked aroundpeople. I
learned to love Jesus as a messenger of God but it seemed strangeto
me, that God would require a sacrifice in orderto forgive us. I
believed that God was above having any need. I felt I could
communicate with God as I was, without the necessity of an
intermediary because, again, God didn't need any help to hear what I
said.
One day I moved into a flat and met my neighbors who were Muslims. I
thought I would try out some missionary work on them.They listened to
me patiently and then I too, listened to them . They didn't try to
explain any complicated issues, they just read to me from the Qu'ran.
First they read in Arabic, then in English. It was Sura (Chapter)
Maryam. I listened in silence. The beautiful sound of the Arabic
recitation touched my heart and then the plain and direct language of
theEnglish translation struck a chord within. The beautiful story of
Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him)and his miracle birth to the virgin
Mary was a marvel of simplicity. God, or as I learned to call
Him,Allah s.w.t. had provided mankind with Prophets and Messengers
since the beginning of time. From Prophet Adam (peace be upon him),
Prophet Abraham, Prophet Moses, Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon them all) and many others. They were all sent with
God's message to disdain all worship except, worship of the One True
God and to submit to His Will. Suchis the meaning of Islam. A Muslim
is one who bows to the will of Allah s.w.t. refusing the worship of
anyone or anything else and seeking to establish piety on earth.
