Those who seek to depict Muslims as shedders of blood are mistaken; Islam is a religion of affection, compassion and love

In recent times in particular, some Christians have been making a
number of unrealistic claims regarding Muslims. These people depict
Muslims as bloodthirsty and oppressive individuals, using specific
incidents as evidence, in their own eyes at least, even though this is
all a very far cry from the true facts. They interpret, in their own
eyes, the oppressive system that manifests itself in a number of areas
of the world and that various forces unjustly seek to ascribe to
Islam, in disfavor of the Islam faith. They try to give a totally
different impression of the Islam revealed in the Qur'an, citing
various wars that took place out of necessity in the past, in which
Muslims were obliged to defend themselves. This is a grave and
groundless calumny. The people in question are unacquainted with
Islam, are unaware of the true face of those who perpetrate cruelty in
the name of Islam andare unable to evaluate the state of affairs in
question in a healthy and rational manner.
The people who make this claim imagine that itis genuine Muslims who
abide by the Qur'an that spread terror in the name of Islam. The fact
is, however, that they have nothing to do with the Qur'an or Islam.
The great majority of the well-known terrorist leaders today are
intelligence agents who have been trained for purposes of
provocation.These are members of well-known intelligence agencies in
America and Europe and receive theirinstructions directly from those
intelligence organizations. All these people have received a Darwinist
and materialist education. They are people who areunable to properly
appreciate Allah, who fail to live by the true Islamic moral values
commanded by Him, who live far removed from the fine, warm and loving
moral values of our Prophet (saas) and have fallen under Darwinist
indoctrination . They are people who have agreed on the errors of
Darwinism, thatconflict is the only road to progress and that violence
and oppression are essential components of life. The fact they may
appear to be Muslims, belong to any Muslim country or that their
identity documents state they are Muslims does not alter that fact.
These people live on an entirely Darwinist world view. This is how
they evaluate the people around them: according to the errors they
have accepted "human beingsare slightly more developed animals; they
have no souls personal identities or responsibilities. In any animal
community, the weak must be weeded out and eliminated."
The terrorist leaders in question are actually people raised to be
"spoiled and faddish" in a manner far removed from Islamic moral
values in America and various European countries, who are always in
the night clubs, have an atheist mindset and have embraced the
negative and degenerate aspects of Western culture. It needs to be
stated here that one may have led allkinds of different lifestyles
before beginning to live by the moral values of the religion, and that
is not something to be criticized. One may hope for Allah's
forgiveness for these errors if one genuinely repents and turns to
belief in Him. But it is different with the people in question. When
the time comes forthese people to go to work, they grow beards and
start work looking like Ahl al-Sunnah (thoseMuslims who believe
andlive according to the Qur'an). They receive their orders from the
aforesaid intelligence agencies under atheist masonic control and
unhesitatingly carry out the requisite actions. They have nothing to
do with Islam. Their religionis not Islam, but Darwinism, materialism.
It is impossible for sincere Ahl al-Sunnah (Muslims who fully abideby
the Qur'an) to support and be a part of such a repressive system that
exists in opposition to the Qur'an. The peoplewho carry out this
oppression in the world are the followers of Ibni Miskeveyh, the
Darwinists, materialists, socialist sympathizers and admirers of
Stalin, Che, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler and Mao of this world. They are
people who foolishly attempt toapply the aberrant ideas of bloody
materialists, communists and fascists in the name of Islam, and who
think in a way diametrically opposed tothe moral values of the
religion.
That is how this tyrannic system that certain circles unjustly try to
impute to Islam works. Some Muslims may claim that this tyrannic
system carried out in the name of Islam was never actually a reality
and seek to deny it completely. But the correct thing is not to deny
these actions, but rather for them to be described as the actions of
mason-supported atheist intelligence agents in order, in their own
eyes, to neutralize Islam across the world (surely Islam is beyond
that), and to make it clear that such actions are very definitely
forbidden in Islam .
In making these allegations against Muslims, the Christians inquestion
ignore one very important point. As is known in history the USA
caused the deaths oftens of thousands of people by dropping atom bombs
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There were also Muslims,Christians and Jews
among those people. And children, and old people, and innocent men and
women. But the Islamic world never sought to lay the blame for this
action perpetrated by the U.S. government on Christianity. In the same
way, thousands of Muslims were barbarically slaughtered during the
attacks whichwere openly called the Crusades, and even Christians
belonging to other sects were tortured to death. And mosques were
pillaged as well as the churches. The blood that has recently been
shed in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Muslim countries was Muslim blood.
But Muslims have never usedthis as grounds for saying that people who
live by the Gospel are killers. Any sane person can see that
irreligion always reigns anywhere in which oppression is taking place.
Indeed, rational Muslims who abide by the Qur'an and believe in Allah
never hold Christians responsible for the massacres in question. That
is not something that anyone who genuinely believes in Allah could do.
It is now time for those Christians who make the unpleasant
allegations concerning Muslims in question to abandon these erroneous
ideas and habits. Ignorance generally plays a large role in these
claims. Thatis why our Christian brothers must read the Qur'an with an
unbiasedeye, study the life of our Prophet (saas) and consider the
works, lives, ideas and activitiesof pure believers who live by the
moral values of Islam. It is clear that there is no room for violence
in Islam. According to the Qur'an, war is only possible for defensive
purposes, when property, lives or virtue are in danger. Buteven then,
Muslims never go to excess, and have a responsibility to treat the
captives they take kindly, even give their prisoners food while they
themselves go hungry, to establish peace without delay andto protect
civilians and the innocent. It is clear from the life our
Prophet(saas) the kind of behavior in this regard that Islam demands.
Throughout the 13 yearsthey lived in Mecca our Prophet (saas) and the
Companions were subjected to terrible duress, attacks and slanders;
they were forced to leave their homes and threatened with death. But
they never resorted to violence despite all this aggression and
oppression. When the oppression in Mecca increased, they migratedto
Medina, and during the Medina period they only engaged in wars that
were unavoidable and for defensive purposes. For example, the Battle
of Bedir began when the Meccan pagans gathered their armies and
attacked the Muslims, intending to martyr them. At Hendek the Muslim
erected obstacles around the cityin order to protect themselves, and
the fighting was purely defensive. In short, the wars in the past were
all unavoidable and defensive, the result of direct and ferocious
attacks by pagans. None was an offensive war.
Someone who sees and grasps the depth of the Qur'an can also easily
see that there is nothing but forgiveness in it. TheQur'an says that
Muslims must not go to extremes in war, and that they must stop
fighting whenthe community they are at war with does so:
Fight in the Way of Allah against those who fight you, but do not go
beyond the limits. Allah does not love those who go beyond the limits.
(Surat al-Baqara, 190)
But if they cease, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat
al-Baqara, 192)
The Qur'an also recommends that prisoners of war be forgiven and
freed. Allahtells us in the Qur'an thatis it better to forgive people,
even if murder has been committed. Muslims' responsibility, according
to the Qur'an, is always to do what is best for Allah's approval.
Since Allah regards forgiveness as best, evenin the case of murder,
that is what Muslims need to do. Islam is a religion of affection,
compassion, peace and love. Those who seek to give a different
impression of Islam should abandon that behavior forthwith.
(From Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview on Kanal 9TV and Kral Karadeniz
TV,January 9 th , 2009)
Presenter: A few days ago 6 Coptic Christians were killed in Egypt in
a drive-by shooting while leaving the church. All the media in the
West started to cover this story in a negative way since the incident
took place in a Muslim country. The Egyptian government does not make
a declaration about the issue. What doyou think about this subject?
Adnan Oktar: Recently some of our Christian friends, brothers are keen
to show Muslims in the history and also today as blood shedders,cruel
people who cause trouble, who flout the laws, rights and democracy.
They are giving examples from the wars in history. If wewere to give
examples from the wars in the past—especially our American Protestant
brothers, Evangelicals speak so—they murdered tens of thousands of
people in Hiroshima in an instant. They killed tens of thousands of
people in Nagasaki in an instant. There were also Muslims,Christians
there. People from all religions. So in accordance which law was this
carried out? Right? They shed blood in numerous countries. They shed
blood in Afghanistan and Iraq. With which law were those done? Right?
No Muslim interpreted these incidents as; "This is how those abiding
by the Gospel are, they are blood shedders." We said, " This is the
spirit of[atheist] freemasonry, a requisite of being a [atheist]
mason. Those disbelievers who are neither Muslims nor Christians
committed it." In no way did we attribute it to Christianity. Let me
correct the word "attribute it", may Allah forgive me, let me say, "We
did not hold Christianity responsible for it." Consequently, it would
be erroneous for our Christian friends to hold Islam responsible when
an incident happens; they have to abandon that habit.
Alright, there is war in the Qur'an, but it is as a self defense, when
you, your possessions, security and honor is under attack. That is to
say, someone has entered one's house, there is a raid with weapons,
rifles. They had knocked the glasses-frames down and fired bullets.
What can a man do in such case? Shall he bring them into court? What
should he do? If heattempted to escape, he would fail. Right? What
should be the action? To save one's life, defending one's self. There
are things to do while defending one's self; for instance, people
first open fire to the air, they threaten, open fire to the air, if
these measures prove to be ineffective, they try to stop the
perpetrator by injuring him but in a way not to cause suffering or
killing him. This is self-defense. Is there any other way of doing it?
Is there any other way in the case of a sudden attack? Since he can
not escape. So what is to blame or to see as a fault here?
In those periods, Muslimswere under enormous pressure, under great
cruelty. They were beingput in pits and burnt with petrol. What
shouldbe done? What should he do? There is a mid-night raid. They come
with swords, maces and spears. Were they to say ; "Welcome, let us
serve you some tea? " What should they tell? Of course they defend
themselves. Meanwhile, there may be loss of lives during this defense.
This is not something abnormal because the other party has already
come to takeyour life. It is very difficult to defend oneself without
harmingthe other side at that moment, during a mass attack. You can
not say, "Let me just make him faint and deactivate him." In the
conditions of the time, there wasn'ta mean to knock someone out
anyway. What can they do? Consequently, it is very erroneous to blame
and criticize Muslims. They should criticize themselves. There is not
the slightest error in what is done in the time of our Prophet (pbuh).
None of them are wars of attack.
Oktar Babuna: As you know better insha'Allah, there is also a
disproportion in the numbers [of the armies].
Adnan Oktar: And everything is aimed at forgiving. For instance
All-Mighty Allah says, "but do not go beyond the limits", "if they
stop, you also stop", "release the captives, behave well to the
captives." What a perfect explanation. What a humanistic
interpretation. In case ofa murder, for instance, notice that this is
a murder, Allah says that there is the right for retaliation. Normally
the penalty for murder is execution. However Allah says, "It is more
auspicious for you if youforgive". Since a Muslim would always choose
to forgive, which is more auspicious, so what? Don't we see here the
highest form of compassion, love and mercy? What is the meaning of
forgiving an enormous cruelty such as murder? Allah relates, "It is
more auspicious foryou if you forgive." Consequently Islam is a
religion of love, mercy and compassion. But thisalso holds true for
Gospel and Torah. Even in its distorted form, it has preserved these
beautiful features.
Consequently they will abandon trying to provoke Muslims, murdering,
acting despotically and attributing an incident perpetrated by a few
psychopaths to Muslims. This is very erroneous.
Besides when we look atthe murderers, we see that they were
educatedeither in Britain or America and undergone Darwinist and
materialist education. Someone with a sufistic manner, someone
sensible, or let us think about a follower of Risale-i Nur , has
anyone seen a follower of Risale-i Nur whose name has been involved in
a murder in any corner of the world?
Oktar Babuna : No one has seen, insha'Allah.
Adnan Oktar: Let alone murder, has anyone seen such a person injuring
someone? Thereare millions of followers of Risale-i Nur , and they, in
no way, commit it. Forinstance a Sufi, a member of a religious order;
there are, for instance, Shazinis and Nakhshibendis abroad. Do we ever
see them committing such an act? Or a Fiqh scholar, a scholar who has
undergone an Ahl al-Sunnah education. Have we ever seen such a scholar
committing such an act? In no way. Who are the people that we see
committing such acts? Those followers of Ibn Miskhawayh, those
Darwinists, materialists, advocates of evolution who have sympathy for
socialism, admirers of Che, Ho Shi Minh, those trying to reconcile the
views of Lenin with Islam, those people suffering from inferiority
complex. Consequently they need to discriminate between them. We mean
the genuine Muslims. A genuine Muslim is always full of compassion,
mercy and love.

Living the Quran

Allaah The Exalted Says (what means): {It was the month of Ramadhaan
in which the Quran was [first] sent down as guidancefor all people,
having [in it] clear proofs of [Divine] guidance and the criterion.}
[Quran 2:185]
Since that first Ramadhaan revelation, believers the world over and
across history have drawn nearer to Allaah Almighty, rejuvenated their
faith, found their purpose in life, saved their souls from hellfire,
and found thekey to eternal happiness in Paradise with their Beloved
Lord through the Quran.
Almost exactly 1,433 years ago, the Beloved Messenger of Allaah
commenced his journey form Makkah to Madeenah and laid thefoundations
of the greatest community of believers ever to have lived. Among the
foundations of that Community of men and women was a radiantand
vibrant faith in Allaah Almighty, unflinching love for His Prophet and
brotherhood andsacrifice for each other. These virtues were implanted
in their souls by the Prophet through the guidance of the Quran. The
foundation of that Community was the Quran. The Word of God was what
that blessed Community stood for.
Allaah's speeches, delivered and explained to them by His impeccable
Messenger had created and nurtured that community in Makkah for the
previous 13 years. In the second year of Hijrah or shortly afterward,
the verses about fasting were revealed that eventually made the
fasting of the month of Ramadhaan an obligation. Just like all other
foundational markers and rituals of that blessed Community, the month
of fasting was connected to the Quran.
The pillar of Islam prior to fasting, that of Prayer, was also built
around the Quran. The Prophet and his followers prayed from the very
beginning of his blessed call, and read Quran in it. The five regular
prayers had been revealed toward the end of Makkan life (in the year
10 or 12 of prophethood)at the occasion of the Prophet's Ascension
(Mi`raaj) to Heaven. TheQuran had already alluded to the number of
obligatory prayers, their times, and content, and the Prophet had
given them their final form by way of instruction from the Archangel
Gabriel.
The month of fasting was designed, in the wisdom of Allaah, to
celebrate the Quran in adifferent way, but one which complemented the
prayer. While the regular prayers set the tone and the rhythm of the
daily life ofthe believers, Ramadhaan would challenge them and all
their spiritual descendants to soar even higher in their worship and
remembrance of their Creator, and specifically to rejuvenate thatdaily
routine of prayer.
Allaah, Most High, is, of course, allaware of His servants, whose
habitual practices inevitably become monotonous. Thus the heart rusts.
Feelings mellow. Intellectual acuity in the form of spiritual
understanding clouds over. Hence, perspectives blur. The journey of
faith begins to seem long and uneventful from day to day. Impulsive
and short-sighted— "Man has been created from haste" [Quran 21:37]—the
human being is nonetheless capable of rising to great heights,provided
he is prompted with proper reminders that hold his attention to his
task and path. For no matter how great the reward, how high the
stakes, when the human heart loses sight of its purpose and road, it
gives up the struggle. It needs peaks from where to see the end
clearly, oases wherefrom to fill up on hope in order to gain the
stamina required to cross the many difficult vales along the way.
The Month of Ramadhaan provides that climax, that summit, that
viewpoint. It comeswith intense physical training. But its soul is the
Quran. It is onlyas good as the closeness to the Quran—both spiritual
and intellectual—that one attains in it.
Without exemplifying the meanings of the Quran, without pondering its
signs, and rethinking the whole life in a coherent way through it,
Ramadhaan becomes empty. That is why the Prophet has tied fasting and
the Quran together as the two intercessors on the Day of Judgment: The
Prophet said: "Fasting and theQuran will intercede on behalf of the
servant on the Day of Resurrection. Fasting will say: `O Lord! I
prevented him from food and satisfying his desires during the day.
Therefore, do Thou makemean intercessor for him.' The Quran will say:
`I prohibited him from sleeping at night, therefore,do Thou make me an
intercessor for him.' Thus shall they intercede'" [Ahmad]
An intervening plea, then: Let us both strive, then, you and I, to
make this Ramadhaan truly the month of the Quran, a month in which we
transcend the monotony of life and reach a newlevel of faith and
bliss. For we know not how many Ramadhaan peaks we have left before
our way ends./-

Praising Allaah – II

When wearing a new garment:
Whenever the Prophet used wear a new garment, he would say:
"Allaahumma lakal-hamdu Anta kasawtaneeh, as'aluka min khayrihi wa
khayri maa suni'a lah, wa a'oothu bika min sharrihi wa sharri maa
suni'alah (O Allaah, for You is all praise, You have clothed me with
it (i.e. the garment), I ask You for the good of it and the good for
which it was made, and I seek refuge with You from the evil of it and
the evil for which it was made.)" This is said because each garment
could be worn for something good or something evil. For example, one
could wearit to show off, and a woman could wear a garment to expose
her beauty, both of which cases are evil. On the other hand, one could
wear it to adorn himself before going to the mosque as a Muslim is
commanded to do, in such case one's garment is a source of goodness
for him.
After eating or drinking:
The Prophet used different wordings and phrases to praise Allaah after
eating or drinking, asin the following narrations: Mu`aath ibn Anas
reported that the Messenger of Allaah said: "He who has taken food
andsays at the end: `Alhamdu lillaahi al-lathi at`amani haathaa, wa
razaqaneehi min ghayri hawlin minni wa laa quwwah (All praise is due
to Allaah Who has given me food to eat and provided it without any
endeavor on my partor any power), all his past sins will be forgiven."
[At-Tirmithi]. Abu Umaamah reported:"Whenever the Prophet finished a
meal, he would say: "Al-hamdulillaah hamdan katheeran taiyyiban
mubaarakan feehi, ghayra makffiyyin wa laa muwadda`in, wa laa
mustaghnan`anhu, rabbuna. (All praise is due to Allaah, praise which
is abundant, pure, and full of blessings, which is indispensable and
to which one cannot be indifferent)." [Al-Bukhaari]
Upon going to bed:
Whenever the Prophet would go to bed, he used to remember the bounties
of Allaah upon him (which is something that most people are heedless
of nowadays)and then praise Allaah. Anas reported: "Whenever the
Prophet went to his bed, he would say: "Al-hamdulillaah al-lathi
at`amanaa wa saqaanaa, wa kafaanaa wa aawaanaa, fakam mimman laa
kaafiya lahu wa laa mu'wiya (Praise is due to Allaah Who has fed us,
provided us drink, satisfied us and gave us protection. Many are those
who have no one to provide for them, or give them shelter)." [Muslim].
Upon returning from Hajj or 'Umrah:
During his journeys he never forgot to praise Allaah. Ibn `Umar
reported: "During the return journey of the Prophet from Hajj or
`Umrah whenever he ascended a height or hill, he would recite thrice:
"Allaahu Akbar (Allaah is The Greatest)" Then he would say: "Laa
ilaaha illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku, wa
lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa `alaa kulli shay'in Qadeer. Aayiboona taa'iboona
`aabidoona li rabbinaahaamidoon. Sadaq-Allaahu wa`dahu, wa nasara
`abdahu, wa hazamal-ahzaaba wahdahu (Nonehas the right to be
worshipped except Allaah, Who has no partner, to Whom the sovereignty
belongs, to Whom allpraise is due, and Who is Able to do all things.
We are those who return (in safety), feel penitence, worship Allaah,
prostrate before our Lord and praise Him. Allaah has fulfilled His
Promise, helped His slave (i.e., Muhammad ) and He Alone vanquished
the Clans)." [Al-Bukhaari & Muslim].
During the Talbiyah for Hajj:
It is the Sunnah that one utters Talbiyah whilst in the state of
Ihraam for Hajj, saying: "Labbaykallaahumma labbayk, labbayka laa
shareeka laka labbayk, innal-hamda wanni'mata laka wal-mulk, laa
shareeka lak. (Here I am O Allaah, (in response to Your call), here I
am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily all praise,
grace and sovereignty belong to You. You have no partner.)"
During the imploration for rain:
One of the great prayers to perform is when imploring for rain.
'Aai'shah reported: "Thepeople complained to the Messenger of Allaah
of the lack of rain, so he gave an order for a pulpit. It was then
setup for him in the place of prayer. He fixed a day for the people on
which they should come out. When the rim of the sun appeared, the
Messenger of Allaah sat down on the pulpit, and having pronounced the
greatness of Allaah and expressed His praise, he said: "You have
complained of drought in your homes, and of the delay in receiving
rain at the beginning of its season. Allaah has ordered you to
supplicate Him and promised that He will answer your prayer." Then he
said: "Praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the Universe, the
Compassionate, the Merciful, the Master of the Day of Judgment. There
is none worthy of worship but Allaah Who does what He wishes. O
Allaah! You are Allaah, there is no deity but You, the Rich, while we
are the poor. Senddown the rain upon us and make what You send down a
strength and satisfaction for a time." He , then raised his hands, and
kept raising them till the whiteness under his armpits was visible. He
then turned his back to the people and inverted or turned round his
cloak while keeping his hands aloft. He then faced the people,
descended and prayed two Rak'ahs. Allaah then produced a cloud, and
the storm of thunder and lightning came on. Then the rain fell by
Allaah's permission, and before he reached his mosque, streams were
flowing. When he saw the speed with which the people were seeking
shelter, he laughed till his back teeth were visible. Then he said: "I
testify that Allaah is Omnipotent and that I am Allaah's servant and
apostle." [Abu Daawood].
Encouraging the Praise of Allaah and thanking Him during all times:
Do not be heedless of the praise of Allaah and mention Him frequently,
and remember that one should praise Allaah and thank Him during all
situations. Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allaah said:
"A man (from amongst the people before you) said: `Indeed! I will give
in charity.' So he took his charity out and placed it in a thief's
hand. In the morning the people were talking (about this incident) and
saying: `Charity wasgiven to a thief last night.' The man said: `O
Allaah! Praise be to You. I have given charity to a thief. Indeed, I
will give in charity!` So he took his charity out and he placed it in
a prostitute's hand. In the morningthe people were talking (about this
incident) and saying: `Charity was given to a prostitute last night.'
On hearing this, the man said: `Praise be to You, O Allaah! I gave
charity to a prostitute. Indeed, I will give in charity!` So he took
his charity out and placed it in a rich man's hand. In the morning the
people were talking (about this incident) and saying: `Charity was
given to a rich man last night.' The man said: `O Allaah! Praise be to
You (for helping me) give charity to a thief, a prostitute and a rich
man.` Then he had a dream in which he was told that his charity to the
thief might result in his refraining from his theft, his charity to
the prostitute might help her abstain from her immorality, and his
charity to therich man might help him pay heed and spend from what
Allaahhad bestowed upon him." [Al-Bukhaari]
When this man from the children of Israel accepted the decree of
Allaah and was content with it and praised Allaah in all situations
and thanked Him, Allaah rewarded him abundantly for these three
charities he spent out. This is because we should deal with people
according to what appears from their conditions and leave their
intentions to Allaah for judgment.
Furthermore, Allaah rewards the one who is content with great rewards.
Abu Moosaa Al-Ash`ari reported that the Messenger of Allaah said:
"When a man's child dies, Allaah, the Exalted, asks His angels: `Have
you taken out the life of the child of My slave?` and they reply in
the affirmative. He (Exalted be He) then asks: `Have you taken the
fruit of his heart?` and they reply in the affirmative. Thereupon He
asks: `What did my slave say?` They say: `He praised You and said:
Innaa Lillaahi Wa Innaa Ilayhi Raaji'oon (We belong to Allaah and to
Him we shall return).` Allaah says: `Build a house for my slave in
Paradise and name it Baytul-Hamd (the House of Praise).`"
[At-Tirmithi]./-

Praising Allaah – I

- ●◄ ►● - Published by, M NajimudeeN Bsc - INDIA|®|- - - - *
- Translator:: http://translate.google.com/m/ - ●◄ ►● - > Many
texts in the Quran and the Sunnah indicate the virtue of praising
Allaah and that it is whatthe dwellers of Paradise will say upon
entering Paradise .
The Prophet used to praise Allaah during all times. Furthermore,
supplications - which included the praise of Allaah - before and after
many actions have been reported on his behalf . He used to praise
Allaah after eating, drinking, wearing a new garmentand returning from
a journey. He also would praise Allaah during pilgrimage and upon
receiving good news or sad news. Thus weMuslims must praise Allaah
during all situations in order to attain the great reward of praising
Him.
The virtue of praising Allaah as mentioned in the Quran:
There are many acts of worship which people fail to perform despite
the great reward they yield and despite them being veryeasy to
perform. Allaah rewards for some simple acts abundantly, because He is
The Most Generous and The Beneficent, and regardless how much Allaah
gives, what He possesses will never decrease.
We must perform as many deeds as possible in order to be rescuedon the
Day of Judgment and reach our destination safely. One of the greatest
deeds to perform is mentioning Allaah, and it has many types, the best
of which is that done with the tongue and is connected to the heart.
This is when a person mentions Allaah and ponders upon what he is
saying, and praising Allaah is one such form of mention. Allaah is to
be praised in all situations as He is the only One worthy of praise.
Allaah praised Himself in many places in the Quran and He commanded us
to praise Him. The dwellers of Paradise will praise Allaah as Allaah
informs ussaying (what means): "…And the last of their call will be,
`Praise to Allaah, Lord of the worlds!`" [Quran 10: 10]
And also (what means): "… Praise to Allaah, Who has fulfilled for us
His promise." [Quran 39: 74]
And also (what means): "…Praise to Allaah, Who has removed fromus
[all] sorrow." [Quran 35: 34]
Praising Allaah is a great act of worship that reflects the slave's
contentment and submission to the Decrees of Allaah.
Praising Allaah is a phrase which will fill the slave's scale on the
Day of Judgment. The Prophet said: "The best type of supplication is
(saying): `Al-Hamdulillaah` (All Perfect praise be to Allaah)".
'Aa'ishah said: "The Messenger of Allaah recited frequently in bowing
and prostration: "Subhaanaka Rabbanaa wa bihamdika, Allaahumaghfir lee
. (Far removedYou are from every imperfection, our Lord, and all
praise is for You,forgive me, O Allaah)" . He elucidated that it has
been commanded in the Noble Quran to recite (what means): "So glorify
the Praises of your Lord, and ask for His forgiveness. Verily,He is
the One Who accepts the repentance and Who forgives." [Quran 110: 3]
And he (i.e. the Messenger of Allaah ) acted upon it." [Al-Bukhaari &
Muslim] Allaah commanded us not to forget this mention, namely
praising Him.
The greatest chapter in the entireQuran is Al-Faatihah, and it starts
with the praise of Allaah. The Messenger of Allaah said to Abu Sa`eed
Ibn Al-Mu`allaa : "Shall I teach you the greatest Chapter in the Quran
before you leave the mosque? … It is `Alhamdulillaahi Rabbil-`Aalameen
(i.e., Chapter Al-Faatihah)." [Al-Bukhaari]
The virtue of praising Allaah as mentioned in the Sunnah:
Many texts mentioned this issue to highlight its importance. The
Messenger of Allaah said: "Protect yourselves from Hellfire; say:
`Subhaanallaah, Al-Hamdulillaah, Laa Ilaaha Ilallaah, Allaahu Akbar
(Allaah is free from imperfection; praise be to Allaah; None is worthy
of being worshipped except Allaah; and Allaah is The Greatest).` These
(words) will come on the Day of Judgment preceding the person (who
uttered them in life)and will be behind him, and to his sides."
Meaning they will surround him from all directions as a way of
honoring the person who used to utter them in the worldly life.
Ibn Mas`ood reported that the Messenger of Allaah said: "I met
Ibraaheem on the Night of Ascension (Al-Israa'), andhe said to me: `O
Muhammad, convey my greetings to your nation, and tell them that
Paradise has a vast plain of pure soil and sweet water. It is a plain
leveled land. The plants grow there by uttering: Subhaanallaah,
Al-Hamdulillaah, Laa Ilaaha Illallaah and Allaahu Akbar (Allaahis free
from imperfection; praise be to Allaah; there is no true god except
Allaah; and Allaah is The Greatest)." [At-Tirmithi]
The Messenger of Allaah once said to the companions : "Allaah chose
four phrases for you to utter: `Subhaanallaah, Al-Hamdulillaah, Laa
Ilaaha Ilallaah, Allaahu Akbar (Allaah is free from imperfection;
praise be to Allaah; none is worthy of beingworshipped except Allaah;
and Allaah is The Greatest)` Whoever says 'Subhaanallaah (Allaah is
freefrom imperfection)' will receive twenty rewards and twenty sins
will be expiated from his record. Whoever says 'Allaahu Akbar (Allaah
is The Greatest)' will receive twenty rewards and twenty sins will be
expiated fromhis record. Whoever says 'Laa ilaaha illallaah (None is
worthy of being worshipped except Allaah)'will receive twenty rewards
and twenty sins will be expiated fromhis record. Whoever says
'Al-Hamdulillaah (praise be to Allaah)' will receive thirty rewards
and thirty sins will be expiated from his record." [Ahmad]
We must utilize our time in the mention of Allaah as much as we can,
because it is the easiest thing to do while its outcome is great, it
is the plants of Paradise . It is a very easy profit and an effortless
gain ... but where are those who strive to get it?
Whenever a new bounty is bestowed upon the slave from Allaah, he
should utter the praise of Allaah. The Messenger of Allaah said:
"Allaah never bestows a bounty upon a slave and he praises Allaah, but
the utterance of praise was better for the slave than the bounty
itself . "
Allaah Says (what means): "And if you should count the favor [i.e.
blessings] of Allaah, you could not enumerate them." [Quran 14: 34]
Praising Allaah leads to His pleasures, as in the narration of Anas
who reported that the Messenger of Allaah said: "Allaah will be
pleased with His slave who praises Him (i.e., says Al-Hamdulillaah)
when he eats and praises Him when he drinks." [Muslim]
A true believer praises Allaah in all situations even as his soul is
departing, as the Messenger of Allaah said to Umm Ayman . Why would a
believer praiseAllaah upon his death? This is because he is being
freed from the prison of this worldly life and heading towards the
hoped eternal joyful life in Paradise . One's death is a decree of
Allaah, so a true believer praises Allaah for any Decree that befalls
him. Additionally, a true believer praises Allaah for having enabled
him to utilize this life in His pleasure.
There are many times during which the praise of Allaah is recommended,
and the followingare some examples:
Upon waking up, whilst rising from bowing, during prayer and upon sneezing:
One is amazed when he ponders on the cases were the praise is
recommended. The Prophet taught us that when a person wakes up, he is
encouraged to utter: "Al-Hamdulillaahi Al-Lathee 'Aafaanee Fee Jasadee
Waradda 'Aalayya Roohee (All praise is for Allaah who restored to me
my health and returned my soul)." The Prophet also taught us that when
an Imaam rises from the position of bowing, he should say: "Sami`a
Allaahu limanhamidah (Allaah listened to the one who praised Him)" and
that people should say: "Rabbanaa Walakal-hamdu (Our Lord, for Youis
all praise)" When the Prophet heard a man saying upon rising from
bowing in prayer: "Rabbanaa Walakal-hamdu Hamdan Katheeran Tayyiban
Mubarakan Feeh (Our Lord, for You is all praise, an abundant beautiful
blessed praise)" he said: "The angels were amazed upon hearing this
phrase". Furthermore, when one sneezes, he should praise Allaah
saying: "Al-Hamdulillaah (All praise is for Allaah)."
In the opening of lectures and sermons and after concluding prayers:
Whenever the Prophet used address the people with any issue, he would
open his speech with the praise of Allaah and His glorification.
Likewise, after concluding his prayers, he would praise Allaah thirty
three times.
