What should a person do with the profits he made from selling
cigarettes, when it has been mixed with other lawful money?
Praise be to Allah.
He who has done business in things that are prohibited in Islam, such
as musical instruments, prohibited cassettes, cigarettes etc. while
knowing the ruling on them then wishes to repent, needs to give away
in charity all the profits he made from them. This will be ameans of
purification and will not be counted as spending in the way of Allah,
for Allah is pure and does not accept but the pure.
Further, if this money gets mixed up with other earnings, as in the
case of a shop owner who sells many other items, then if he can
compute the amount of profits made from them, he should do it in the
hope of purifying the rest of his earnings.
In other words he who has some money earned through unlawful meansand
intends to repent, should:
If he was an unbeliever at the time of earning the money, he is not
obliged to atone for them or seek their purification. For the Prophet
(peace be upon him) did not demand from his followers that they purify
their wealth after coming into the fold of Islam. If he was Muslim at
the time of earning the money, well aware of its Islamic ban and
prohibition, then heshould separate it out at the time of repentance.
And Allah knows best.

-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Dought & clear, - Rulings on Tawbah, - Repentance From Past Unlawful Income.
Dought & clear, - Rulings on Tawbah, - Repentance From Sins Involving the Rights of Others.
If the sin involves the rights of another personthen what form should
repentance take?
Praise be to Allah.
The basis for the answeris the hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon
him) who said: "He uponwhom his brother has a right, be it of the
nature of money or honor, let him compensate for it before he is made
to compensate for it on a day when there will be neither dinar nor
dirham to deal with. Instead, if he has a good deed in his account it
will be taken away from him and given to the person he had wronged.And
if he has no good deed in his account, sins of the other person will
be taken from him and added to his account" (al-Bukhari). Accordingly,
the repentant can escape the questioning only by either giving back
the people wronged their due or seeking their forgiveness. If they
forgive, he need not worry, but if they do not, then he must return
their dues.
And Allah knows best.

Hereafter Preparation: Clever King Story, a Real Life Story
There was a country longtime ago where the people would change a king
every year. The person who would become the king had to agree to a
contract that he would be sent to an island after his one year of
being a king.
One king finished his term and it was time for him to go to the island
and live there. The people dressed him up inexpensive clothes and put
him on an elephant and took him around the cities to say goodbye to
all the people. This was the moment of sadness for all the kings who
ruled for one year. After saying farewell, the people took the king
with a boat to the remote island and left him there.
On their way back, they discovered a ship that had sunk just recently.
They saw a young man who survived by holding on to a floating piece of
wood. As they needed a new king, they picked upthe young man and took
him to their country. They requested him to bea king for a year. First
he refused but later he agreed to be a king. People told him about all
the rules and regulations and that how he will be sent to an island
after one year.
After three days of being a king, he asked the ministers if they could
show him the island where all the other kings were sent. They agreed
and took him to the island. The island was covered with thick jungles
and sounds of vicious animals were heard coming out of them. The king
went littlebit inside to check. Soon he discovered the dead bodies of
all the past kings. He understood that as soon as they wereleft in the
island, the animals came and killed them.
The king went back to the country and collected100 strong workers. He
took them to the island and instructed them to clean the jungle,
remove all the deadly animals and cut down all the excess trees. He
would visit the island every month to see how the work was
progressing. Inthe first month, all the animals were removed and many
trees were cut down. In the second month, the whole island was cleaned
out. The king then told the workers to plant gardensin various parts
of the island. He also took with himself useful animals like chickens,
ducks, birds, goats, cows etc. In the third month, he ordered the
workers to build big houses and docking stations for ships. Over the
months, the island turned into a beautiful place.
The young king would wear simple clothes and spend very little from
his earnings as a king. He sent all the earnings to the island for
storage. When nine months passed like this, the king called the
ministers and told them:
"I know that I have to go the island after one year, but I would like
to go there right now." But theministers didn't agree to this and said
that he has to wait for another 3 months to complete the year.
3 months passed and now it was a full year. The people dressed up the
young king and put him on an elephant to take him around the country
to say goodbye to others. However, this king is unusually happy to
leave the kingdom.
People asked him, "All the other kings would cryat this moment and why
are you laughing?"
He replied, "Don't you know what the wise people say? They say
thatwhen you came to this world as a baby, you were crying and
everyone was smiling. Live such a life that whenyou are die, you will
be smiling and everyone around you will be crying. I have lived that
life. While all the other kings were lost into the luxuries of the
kingdom, Ialways thought about the future and planned for it. I turned
the deadly island into a beautiful abode for me where I can stay
peacefully."
The moral lesson from this story is about how we should live our life.
The life of this world is toprepare for the life hereafter. In this
life, we shouldn't get lost into thedeceiving and attractive things of
this world and forget about what is to come in the afterlife. Rather,
even if we are kings, we should live a simple life like our beloved
Holy Prophet Muhammad (saww) and save all our enjoyments for the
hereafter. May Allah make it easy for us all. Amin.
Noble Qur'anSays: Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah
(alone).It is He Who sends down rain, and He Who knows what is in the
wombs. Nor does any one know what it is that he will earn on the
morrow: Nor does any one know in what land he is to die. Verily with
Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things).
(31:34)
Noble Qur'an urges us to prepare for tomorrow: O ye who believe! Fear
Allah, and let every soul look to what (provision) He has sent forth
for the morrow. Yea, fear Allah: for Allah is well-acquainted with
(all) that ye do. (59:18)

Hereafter in Islam (DreamInterpretation): Real Life Story(Preparing for the Hereafter)
Once a man saw in his dream, that a lion was chasing him.
The man ran to a tree, climbed on to it and sat on a branch. He looked
down and saw that the lion was still there waiting for him.
The man then looked to his side where the branch he was sitting on was
attached to the tree and saw that two rats were circling around
andeating the branch. One rat was black and the other one was white.
Thebranch would fall on the ground very soon.
The man then looked below again with fear and discovered that a
bigblack snake had come and settled directly underhim. The snake
opened its mouth right under theman so that he will fall into it.
The man then looked up to see if there was anything that he could hold
on to. He saw another branch with a honeycomb. Drops of honey were
falling from it.
The man wanted to taste one of the drops. So, he put his tongue out
and tasted one of the fallen drops of honey. The honey was amazing in
taste. So, he wanted to taste another drop. As he did, he got lost
into the sweetness of the honey.
Meanwhile, he forgot about the two rats eatinghis branch away, the
lion on the ground and the snake that is sitting right under him.
After a while, he woke upfrom his sleep.
To get the meaning behind this dream, the man went to a pious scholar
of Islam. The Islamic scholar who interpret the dream said, the lion
you saw is your death. It always chases you and goes wherever you go.
The two rats, one black and one white, are the night and the day.
Black one is the night and the white one is the day. They circle
around, coming one after another, to eat your time as they take you
closer todeath.
The big black snake with a dark mouth is your grave. It's there, just
waiting for you to fall into it.
The honeycomb is this world and the sweet honey is the luxuries of
this world. We like to taste a drop of the luxuries of this world but
it's very sweet. Then we taste another drop and yet another.
Meanwhile, we get lost into it and we forget about our time, we forget
about our death and we forget about our graves.
This Life is Material, and the Hereafter is Far Betterand everlasting:
According to Islam, this life is very short and full of material
things that can get in the way of our submission to Almighty Allah
(SWT). It's not wrong to have these material possessions as long as we
remember our obligations to Almighty Allah (SWT) and thank Him for
those things. We shouldn't get preoccupied with this temporary worldly
life and forget Hereafter.
It is narrated that Holy Prophet Muhammad (saww)has said: "Most
intellectual of man is he remembers the death most."
It is also narrated that Holy Prophet Muhammad (saww) has said: "One
who gains the love and grace of Allah (SWT), always end (Ajal) will be
before his eyes and he will be always worried about his death. But the
one who take Satan (Shaitan) as a friend and becomes Bad-Bakht.
Shaitan overpowers him and indulge (Giraftaar) him in long long
desires and them he never remember death."
The famous poet Longfellow calls human footprints sublime on the'sands
of time' while writer Margaret Mitchell declares generations will be
'gone with the wind'. The Ancient Greeks believed that the human race
was like a bird, that came from a dark passage and flew away in
another dark tunnel, with a momentary stay ina bright room, which they
believed was our world.
