7] I want to be a devoted slave of Allaah … ten pointers

7]
My question is short. I want to enter Paradise, I want to strive to
control my self (my nafs), I want to kiss my mother's hand every day,
I want to keep away from whims and desires and from the Shaytaan, I
want Allaah tocall me a devoted slave on the Day of Resurrection, in
sha Allaah, I want to love my brothers, and I want my faith to keep
increasing. What should I do?.
Praise be to Allaah.
We ask Allaah to make you steadfast in adhering to the truth, and to
make your hopes come true, and to make you one of those who turn to
Him and who know the truth, defend it and adhere to Islam.
The things you mention inyour question indicate that you have a sound
and pure nature, and a great desire to achieve great things and to
give everyone his rights. Theseare great hopes that can be achieved
through faith,as it was narrated that Sufyaan al-Thawri said: Faith is
not wishes or pretence, rather it is what settles in the heart and is
proven by actions." So we will discuss the matter of faith and how
important it is in becoming a devoted slave, pleasing and honouring
one's parents and achieving thevictory of Paradise.
Whoever seeks to achievegreat things has to stay up at night (worship).
Hence al-Fudayl said: "Youhearts can never taste thesweetness of faith
until they shun worldly pleasures." And he also said, "If you cannot
pray qiyaam at night and fast during the day, then know that you are
deprived."
The sincere believer has a heart like a burning coal, hence it was
narrated by al-Haakim in his Mustadrak and al-Tabaraani in his
Mu'jamwith a saheeh isnaad that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said, "Faith wears out in your heart asclothes
wear out, so ask Allaah to renew the faith in your hearts."
The believer's heart may sometimes feel overwhelmed by clouds of sin.
This was portrayed to us by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) whenhe said: "There is no heartthat does not have clouds
like the clouds that cover the moon. When the cloud covers it, it is
dark, and when the cloud moves away it shines." Narrated by
al-Tabaraani in al-Awsat, and classed assaheeh by al-Albaani. So the
believer's heart is sometimes covered with acloud and its light is
hidden, and it remains dark and lonely, but if he strives to increase
his store of faith and seeks the help of Allaah, that cloud goes away
and the light in his heart starts to shine again. Hence one of the
salaf said: "It is part ofa person's smartness to c heck on his faith
and be aware of what affects it." It is also part of a
person'ssmartness "that he recognizes how the Shaytaan whispers to
him."
So he has to come back tofaith. If you come back to faith and do as it
requires,then you will achieve what you want. We will tell you of a
basic principle which will let you know when faith is present and when
it is not. Imam Ibn al-Jawzi said: "O you who are turned away, O you
who are deprived of meeting your loved ones, if you want to know how
you stand before the king, then look at how you are spending your time
and what work you are assigned to do. How many people stand at the
door of the king, but no one enters except the onewhom he cares for.
Not every heart is fit to draw close, not every heart can be filled
with love, not every wind is like the morning breeze."
If a person want to know how he stands before Allaah and how he stands
in relation to His commands and prohibitions, let him look at himself
and see what he is preoccupied with. If he is busy with da'wah and
with saving people from the Fire, striving to attain Paradise, helping
the weak and needy, honouring his parents, then let him rejoice in the
fact that he is close to the King of kings, for Allaah does not help
anyone to do good except those whom He loves.
But if he is has no interest in da'wah, dislikesthe daa'iyahs and
does not do good things, if he is preoccupied with this world and its
gains, and with gossip and asking too many questions, whilst not doing
much or following his whims and desires, let him know thathe is far
from Allaah and has been deprived of that which will bring him closer
to Paradise, because Allaah says in His holy Book (interpretation of
the meaning):
"Whoever desires the quick-passing (transitory enjoyment of this
world), We readily grant him what We will for whom We like. Then,
afterwards, We have appointed for him Hell; he will burn therein
disgraced and rejected ( far away from Allaah's Mercy).
And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the
necessary effort due for it (i.e. does righteous deeds of Allaah's
obedience) while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allaah Islamic
Monotheism) — then suchare the ones whose striving shall be
appreciated, (thanked andrewarded by Allaah)"

ORDER OR THE GOLDEN MEAN. THEY DO NOT CALCULATE WHAT WILL BENEFIT A
LIVING THING. Mutations are unconsciousprocesses. They cannot lead to
two symmetrical eyes and ears, symmetrical heart valves or two legs of
the same length.
· That is why one Turkish Darwinist, well aware of
this fact and that transitional fossils do not exist, despairingly
DESCRIBED HIMSELF AS A TRANSITIONAL FORM on a television program.
· This is really a desperate state of affairs for
Darwinists. Darwinists have no hesitations over rejecting the
scientific facts and humiliating themselves for the sake of their
ideology.
· People need to be reminded that demagoguery no
longer has any effect on people, since it has become a laughing stock.
Darwin's nightmare has come true, the fossil record refutes evolution.

Hazrat Mahdi (as) Will Definitely Appear
Even if only one day of the world remained, Allah would extend that
day until he [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] takes power. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi,
Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 10)
If it were the last day of life, Allah would prolong that day until He
sends a man [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] from my Househol . (Al-Muttaqi
al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 10)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come from among my community … In his time,my
community will be blessed with a blessing the like of which has never
been seen before. Much rain will fall down from the sky, and the
plants of the ground will hold back nothing. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi,
Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, 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.

already provide hints about the nature of these technological
developments and the kind of abundance that they will bring.
In the End Times, the prevailing Qur'anic morality will ensure that
everyone will receive their just share of goods. In fact,these goods
will be so abundant that everyone will receive all that they ask for,
and much more besides. At all times, Allah grants to His servants
whodisplay this moral excellence an abundant life and promises them
great blessings both in thisworld and beyond.
Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, We will
give them a good life and recompense them according to the best of
what they did. (Surat an-Nahl, 97)
In the Golden Age, technology will serve humanity, and its
blessingswill be allocated evenly among all people regardless of
ethnicity, community, and country. Nations that are far from one
another, as well as societies of dissimilar cultures, will benefit
from these sources evenly, and everyone will enjoy a just
administration. Adherence to the Qur'an's morality in its true sense
will ensure the maintenance of this Paradise-like order on Earth. The
just administration of sincere Muslims, who turn to Allahfor every
deed they perform, will secure peace and security, as well as
continued blessings.
The İnvalidity Of The ClaimThat ''Transitional Forms Do Not Mean
Deformed Living Things''
After the fact that 99% of mutations are harmful, one of the most
difficult and problematic subjects for Darwinists is the total absence
of the fictitious fossils known as transitional forms.
Darwinists have sought to explain the absence of transitional forms in
other ways, in order to neutralize this fact that is so embarrassing
for them, and say instead that "transitional fossils are different to
what you imagine."
· First and foremost, this needs to be made
crystal clear: the concept of the "transitional form" is one produced
by Darwinists themselves. It was Darwinists who came up with the idea
that countless transitional forms must have resulted from unsuccessful
mutations between two life forms, and that the majority of these
fictitious life forms would have been eliminated while only a very few
survived. According to this tale, there must have been a time when a
fish would supposedly grow feet or when reptiles' arms wouldbe wings.
But this mythicalperiod DOES NOT EXIST in the fossil record.
· There is therefore no question of "aconcept that
we think of as transitional forms." All descriptions of the entities
referred to as transitional forms come from Darwinists. For years,
paleontologists have sought but failed to find the transitional form
described by Darwin himself. According to that description,
transitional forms are DEFORMED AND MONSTROUS living things. It is
impossible, according to that description, for them to be anything
else.
· Were the theory of evolution true, there is no
doubt that traces of these fictitious intermediate periods should be
found in the fossil record. Fish spendingmillions of years as its fins
supposedly turned into legs, as evolutionists maintain, should exist
in this alleged "intermediate state" in the fossil record.
· And that is not all. Bearing that 99% of
mutations are harmful, there should also be many more examples of all
the failed stages pertinent to alife form. There should be millions or
even billions of odd-looking life forms thatemerged as a result of
failed mutations everywhere on Earth.
· Bearing in mind that mutations are blind and
random processes and are inevitably harmful, then, no matter how
unwilling Darwinists may be to admit the fact, all these supposedly
successful or supposedly unsuccessful transitional forms would all
have been deformed and twisted, with legs coming out of ears,
half-fins and half-legs, with three ears instead of two...
· Yet not one such deformed living things, nor any
transitionalform of the kind imagined by evolutionists, has ever been
found among the more than 300 million fossils that have so far been
unearthed. Indeed, what troubles Darwinists most is that all fossils
are completely regularly, symmetrical and fully formed; in other
words, that FOSSILS REFUTE EVOLUTION.
· As readers will recall, Darwin's greatest worry
was that transitional forms would not be "IN A STATE OF CONFUSION" and
that everything in nature HAS APERFECT REGULARITY AND SYMMETRY:
HY, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine
gradations, DO WE NOT EVERYWHERE SEE INNUMERABLE TRANSITIONAL FORMS?
WHY IS NOT ALL NATURE IN CONFUSION INSTEAD OFTHE SPECIES BEING, AS
WESEE THEM, WELL DEFINED? . . 1
· MUTATIONS DO NOT PRODUCE SYMMETRY.. THEY KNOW
NOTHING OF HARMONY, :->
