Dought & clear, - It is essential to respond to those who defame the Prophet (peace andblessings of Allaah be upon him).

There is no one among us who is unaware of what the Christians say
defaming the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and
we are not unaware either of the gheerah (protective jealousy) of the
young men of the Muslim ummah towards their religion and their Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Is it permissible to
respond to those who defame the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) by insulting the speaker, knowing that I insulted one of
them and some of my relatives advised me not to do that again, because
it will make them defame and mock him even more, so their sin will be
on me?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Defaming the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is a
kind of kufr. If that is done by a Muslim then it is apostasy on his
part, and the authorities have to defend the cause of Allaah and His
Messenger(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) by executing the
one who defamed him. If the one who defamed him repents openly and is
sincere, that will benefit him before Allaah, although his repentance
does not waive the punishment for defaming the Prophet(peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), which is execution.
If the person who defames him is a non-Muslim living under a treaty
with the Muslim state, then this is a violation of the treaty and he
must be executed, but that should be left to the authorities. If a
Muslim hears a Christian or anyone else defaming the Prophet(peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) he has to denounce him in strong
terms. It is permissible to insult that person because he is the one
who started it. How can we not stand up the Prophet(peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him)? It is also obligatory to report him
to the authorities who can carry out the punishment on him. If there
is no one who can carry out the hadd punishment of Allaah and stand up
for the Messenger(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) then the
Muslim has to do whatever he can, so long as that will not lead to
further mischief and harm against other people. But if a Muslim hears
a kaafir defaming the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) and he keeps quiet and does not respond for fear that this person
may then defame him even more, this is mistaken thinking. With regard
to the verse (interpretation of the meaning):
"And insult not those whom they (disbelievers) worship besides Allaah,
lest they insult Allaah wrongfully without knowledge"
[al-An'aam 6:108],
this does not apply in cases where they defame Allaah and His
Messenger(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) first. Rather
what is meant is that it is forbidden to insult the gods of the
mushrikeen first, lest they insult Allaah out of ignorance and enmity
on their part. But if they insult Allaah and His Messenger(peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) first, then we must respond and
punish them so as deter them from their kufr and enmity. If we leave
the kuffaar and atheists to say whatever they want without denouncing
it or punishing them, great mischief will result, which is something
that these kuffaar love. No attention should be paid to the one who
says that insulting or responding to insults will make him more
stubborn. The Muslim has to have a sense of protective jealousy and
get angry for the sake of Allaah and His Messenger(peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him). Whoever hears the Prophet(peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) being insulted and does not feel any protective
jealousy or get angry is not a true believer – we seek refuge with
Allaah from humility, kufr and obeying the Shaytaan.
And Allaah knows best.

For children, - Learn to control your anger and bad temper as per the teachings of Islam: Do Fingers Grow Back?

A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement,
his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny
paint.
The man ran to his son, knocked him away and hammered the little boy's
hands into a pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he
rushed his son to the hospital.
Upon taking a closer look, the man saw that his little boy had etched
the words, " I LOVE YOU DAD" on the truck.
Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he
finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands.
When the boy woke up from the surgery and saw his bandaged stubs, he
innocently said, "Daddy, I am sorry about your truck." Then he asked,
"But when are my fingers going to grow back?"
Think about the story the next time you see someone spilled milk at a
dinner table or hear a baby cry. Think first before you lose your
patience and become angry with someone you love. Trucks can be
repaired. Broken bones and hurt feelings often cannot.
Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and
the performance. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make
mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage, anger and bad
temper will haunt us forever. Pause and ponder. Think before you act.
Be patient.
Always remember: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE ANGRY, BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT
TO BE CRUEL.
Those who spend (freely) whether in prosperity or in adversity; who
restrain their anger and pardon men; And Allah loves those who do
good. ( Noble Qur'an, 3:134)

For children, - How a Little Boy Learned to Restrain His Anger and Bad Temper or Nails in the Fence

This is one of those timeless moral stories that teach the importance
of restraining bad temper or anger management as per the teachings of
Islam.
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him
a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he
must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy
had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he
learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily
gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his
temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all and
learned how to control anger and bad temper. He told his father about
it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for
each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the
young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were
gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said,
"You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The
fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave
a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it
out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is
still there.
The next time you get angry with someone and are about to speak, ask
yourself if there was a way to say what you want to say with neutral
words. Often the habit of reacting angrily is just that - a habit you
learned when you were young and haven't questioned since. You might
have become blind to the effect it has on your life.
It is really so that the world reflects back your own attitude. If you
constantly wonder why people are angry at you, perhaps it is you who
treated them with anger first. Listen to the words and tone of voice
you use. And try; really try to speak neutrally to someone who is
angry with you. If you know it will be difficult, write the words down
first. Rehearse it in your mind. Decide on a prize you will get from
Allah (SWT) when you succeed.
Teach your mind intentionally to use respectful words. And you just
might find that life begins to feel a lot nicer - because people
aren't angry at you anymore.
Our Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw)mentions the tonguebefore the hand. As
everybody knows, the 'wounds' caused by the tongue are deeper and more
hurtful than those caused by the hand. Besides, one is often prepared
to strike more readily, easily and more frequently with one's tongue
than with the hand. Slandering, backbiting, reproaching and other
similar ways of hurting people are commoner and more difficult to
avoid than hurt done by the hand. Further, if a person can refrain
from hurting with the tongue, he can more easily refrain from the
assaults by the hand. Again, defending oneself against physical
assaults is, in most cases, easier than against verbal assaults of, in
particular, backbiting and slandering. So, a true Muslim always
restrains his tongue as well as his hand from hurting others.

The words insha'Allah and masha'Allah have a special place in the glorification of Allah

What is the special secret in the recitation of the words
"insha'Allah" and "masha'Allah"?
Why is it important to use the words "insha'Allah" and
"masha'Allah" whenever necessary?
What important statement has Mr. Adnan Oktar made on this subject?
Our Lord is infinitely merciful. He bestows matchless blessings on
people throughout their lives. In addition to physical blessings, He
also bestows spiritual ones: He forgives their mistakes, accepts
their repentance, protects them, conceals their sins, increases
their happiness and leads them to the true path. Allah ensures that
all things are favorable for believers, and He supports them in
various ways. The terms insha'Allah and masha'Allah that appear in
the Qur'an possess very broad and deep significance, and much
mercy.
Insha'Allah and Masha'Allah Are Two Very Important Terms That
Repeat the Name of Allah and Prevent Polytheism
True faith and unalloyed love involve absolute submission to Allah.
One is careful not to make even a momentary error. One knows that
polytheism may arise the moment one feels any loss of trust in Allah
or seeks any helpers other than Allah. For that reason, a believer
with unsullied faith turns to and trusts in Allah alone because he
knows that Allah reigns over all things, that His power is
unfettered, and that not a single leaf can fall unless He so wills
it. He is therefore aware that the only place to seek help for any
reason is Allah. He has adopted Him as his guide. He feels no need
to rely on anyone other than Allah, or to seek help from anyone
else or any other power because he knows that everything that
happens in the world does so by Allah's leave. So someone with true
faith acts with that awareness at every moment of his life.
Therefore, by the word "insha'Allah" he is reiterating that
everything happens by Allah's leave and is created by Him in
destiny. If someone says that he will do something and forgets to
say that Allah will create it, then that is polytheism. But if he
says, 'insha'Allah', 'I will do it by Allah's will, through Allah's
creating it in destiny,' then, by Allah's will, he avoids
polytheism and becoming someone who ascribes equals to Allah.
On the other hand, if a person says, "How lovely" when he sees
beauty, then he is ascribing a divine significance to it. But if he
uses the term "Masha'Allah," meaning "How finely Allah has created,"
then he is protected against polytheism. For that reason,
"insha'Allah" and "masha'Allah" are two very important terms that
eliminate polytheism in the End Times and that repeat the name of
Allah. All-Wise Allah reveals in Surat al-Kahf in the Qur'an that
these two expressions are the key to protection against polytheism
and praising Him:
"Never say about anything, ' I am doing that tomorrow,' without
adding 'If Allah wills. ' Remember your Lord when you forget, and
say, 'Hopefully my Lord will guide me to something closer to right
guidance than this'." (Surat al-Kahf, 23-24)
" He is, however, Allah, my Lord, and I will not associate anyone
with my Lord. Why, when you entered your garden, did you not say, "
It is as Allah wills, there is no strength but in Allah"? Though you
see me with less wealth and children than you possess," (Surat
al-Kahf, 38-39)
Mr. Adnan Oktar describes how the repetition of "Insha'Allah" and
"Masha'Allah" eliminates polytheism:
ADNAN OKTAR: Allah tells us to say "insha'Allah" when starting any
task or in reference to anything happening tomorrow. In other
words, "by Allah's leave," "by Allah's will." This is a recitation of
the name of Allah. Like "La ilaha illAllah," "subhanAllah," "Allah-u
akbar" or "alhamdulillah." It is a recitation of the name of Allah.
It is therefore propitious. Those who make much use of the words
"insha'Allah'" and "masha'Allah" will rule the world in the End
Times. That is a feature of the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh);
they are secret words. It is also a feature of the People of the
Cave. A feature of the End Times. When we see something, we say,
"Masha'Allah, how well Allah has created." We are thus protected
against polytheism. "Insha'Allah"means by Allah's leave, by Allah's
creation, with Allah's creation in destiny. Both are
anti-polytheistic terms. They are blows struck against polytheism.
Two words that demolish polytheism. Allah says in Surat an-Nur that
those who do not ascribe equals to Him will rule the world. Now if
I say, "I will do something tomorrow," if I say that in
forgetfulness of Allah, if I forget that Allah will create it, that
is polytheism. But if you say, "insha'Allah", "by Allah's leave,"
"by Allah's creation in destiny," then you are protected from
polytheism. You have not become a polytheist. And if you say, "How
lovely that is," then you are ascribing divine nature to it. But if
you say, "How finely Allah has created that," you are protected
against polytheism. "Insha'Allah" and "masha'Allah" are two
recitations of the name of Allah that will demolish polytheism in
the End Times. They smash the idols, insha'Allah ... (17 June 2010

The Terms Insha'Allah and Masha'Allah Are the Keys to the Global
Reign of Islam
The global reign of the moral values of the Qur'an is glad tidings
foretold in the Qur'an, revealed in the hadiths of our Prophet
(saas) and discussed in the works of Islamic scholars. Our Prophet
(saas) has reported that Allah will bring about the global reign of
Islam using Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as His instrument. The coming of
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in the End Times, by Allah's leave, and
bringing about the global reign of the moral values of the Qur'an is
foretold thus in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas):
"EVEN IF BUT ONE DAY REMAINS UNTIL THE DAY OF RECKONING, ALLAH
WILL SEND AN INDIVIDUAL FROM MY AHL AL-BAYT (FROM MY LINE), AND HE
WILL FILL THE WORLD THAT IS NOW FULL OF OPPRESSION WITH JUSTICE
INSTEAD." (Sunan Abu Dawud, 5/92).
In another hadith, our Prophet (saas) reveals that Hazrat Mahdi
(pbuh) and his followers will make much use of the terms insha'Allah
and masha'Allah :
"WHEN ONE OF THEM WISHES TO DO ANYTHING, HE WILL SAY, 'INSHA'ALLAH'.
Our Prophet (saas) notes that those who use these two terms have a
deep love of Allah and a pure faith:
"THERE IS NO MORE VIRTUOUS OBEDIENCE FOR PEOPLE THAN TO SAY INSHA'ALLAH."
"SAYING INSHA'ALLAH AND MASHA'ALLAH VERY OFTEN COMES FROM THE BEAUTY
OF A PERSON'S FAITH." (İsmail Hakkı Bursevi, C.Sagir, 2-50)
Therefore, since Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and his followers know that all
they do happens by Allah's leave they always use the term
"insha'Allah." They know that the success of what they do lies with
Allah. They therefore praise Allah and say, "masha'Allah." They
frequently recite these two expressions, since they are people who
have profound faith and properly know the names of Allah and fear
Him. By Allah's leave, the global reign of Islam will come about
through this behavior far removed from polytheism and their
passionate devotion to Allah.
Mr. Adnan Oktar describes how the recitation of insha'Allah and
masha'Allah is a sign of the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and
that those who make that recitation will rule the world:
ADNAN OKTAR: The word masha'Allah refers to 1987 without the
gemination mark or 2016 with it. The word insha'Allah refers to 1997
without the gemination mark [the repeating of " a'A" in "insha'Allah
and masha'Allah] or 2027 with it; it refers to global dominion. The
more one says insha'Allah and masha'Allah , the more that global
reign progresses. There are a specific number of repetitions of
insha'Allah and masha'Allah for this. When that number is reached,
that reign will have come about, insha'Allah . So our brothers must
make wide use of insha'Allah and masha'Allah . Our Prophet (saas)
says, "A person says insha'Allah every time he speaks out of
perfection of faith." "Saying insha'Allah comes from perfect
faith," he says. "There is no more virtuous obedience for people
than to say insha'Allah," our Prophet (saas) says. Insha'Allah and
masha'Allah mean step by step progress toward Islam and Islamic
Union. Whenever you say it, you take another step. But there is a
limit referred to by Allah, and once that limit is reached, that is
it, insha'Allah . (20 March 2011 Kanal Avrupa and Çay TV)
ADNAN OKTAR: Insha'Allah and masha'Allah are like music to my ears.
To hear a person saying insha'Allah and masha'Allah is so nice.
Those who recite them will rule the world, insha'Allah. Those who
recite them in abundance will rule the world. Insha'Allah and
masha'Allah are a mark of the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
They are their sign, their seal. And since we are also followers of
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), insha'Allah and masha'Allah are a sign for us,
too. (20 August 2011 A9 TV)
The Two Worthy Individuals of the End Times, the prophet Jesus
(pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) Will Use Insha'Allah and Masha'Allah
Very Much.
The first letter of the name of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) [Isa]
refers to the "i" of insha'Allah , and the "m" of Hazrat Mahdi
(pbuh) refers to masha'Allah . This is without doubt an immaculate
secret created by Almighty Allah. Because these worthy people will
be instrumental in the global reign of Islam in the End Times, and
in "insha'Allah" and "masha'Allah" being repeated by everyone.
One of these worthy individuals, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will
frequently recite the word "insha'Allah" in the miracles he performs.
This is revealed as follows in the Qur'an:
" as a Messenger to the tribe of Israel, saying: 'I have brought you
a Sign from your Lord. I will create the shape of a bird out of clay
for you and then breathe into it and it will be a bird by Allah's
permission . I will heal the blind and the leper, and bring the
dead to life, by Allah's permission . I will tell you what you eat
and what you store up in your homes. There is a Sign for you in
that if you are believers." (Surah Al 'Imran, 49)
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will praise the name of Allah in the face of
everything beautiful that he sees, all of which are manifestations of
Allah, and will frequently repeat the word "masha'Allah" out of his
deep faith in and love of Almighty Allah.
Mr. Adnan Oktar describes the secret behind the repetition of
"insha'Allah" and "masha'Allah":
