Sincerity means wholehearted belief in Allah(God) and devotion to him

As for those who believeand do right actions andhumble themselves
before their Lord, they are the Companions of the Heaven, remaining in
it timelessly, for ever. (Surah Hud, 23)
Sincerity means being deeply devoted to Allah by heart. A sincere
person has a deep fear for Allah, profoundly believes in Him, sees
andadvocates the righteousness in the bestway. A sincere person is the
one who believes in Allah with certainty, the Hereafter, prophets, the
Heaven and the Hell and angels.
WHAT IS ESSENTIAL IS NOTONE'S SEEING HIMSELF SINCERE BUT THE
RECOGNITION OF HIS SINCERITY BY ALLAH.
The Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), the
Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), the Prophet Moses (pbuh), the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh), the Prophet Solomon (pbuh), the Prophet Joseph
(pbuh), the Prophet Jonah (pbuh), the Prophet Job (pbuh) and all the
other prophets are the sincere servants of Allah. We are aware of
prophets' sincerity because Allah sees them sincere and declares them
to be so. All of the prophets were blessed people who were devoted to
our All-Mighty Lord with great love and experienced sincerity in its
most profound state. Likewise, due to their sincerity, all the
prophets were blessed people who absolutely engaged in the most
accurate act, whose deeds resulted in good and beauty and who truly
turned to Allah in all their deeds.
Due to his fear for Allah and profound love of Allah, a sincere person
is someone who readily discriminates between the right and the
wrong,who absolutely implements what is rightaccording to the Qur'an
and, without seeing any limits in closeness to Allah and love for him,
who discharges all the requirements of the religion in the most
accurate and absolute manner. Consequently, sincerity is the kind of
attitude which appears with fear of Allah, and closeness and love of
Him and is experienced in the form as depicted in the Qur'an. If a
Christian is devoid of anyIslamic knowledge, we may hope for his
enterance to the Heaven,as long as he advocates Allah's existence and
unity, believes in the Heaven and the Hell, has faith in the destiny
and the Hereafter, performs his regular prayers ( salat ), fasts
albeit in his own way, and pays the alms. Similarly, if a Jew has no
knowledge about Islam, then we can hope that he can go to the Heaven
as long as he observes what is lawful and unlawful, has faith in
thedestiny and Hereafter, performs his regular prayers (salat) and
fasts. All of these are the commandments stated in the Torah and the
Gospel. If he is sincere and has no knowledge about Islam, by Allah's
leave, we may hope that a Christian or a Jew can also enter the Heaven
as long as he wholeheartedly fulfills all these religious obligations.
When one examines the Qur'an with a sincere heart one can immediately
see that theQur'an is the true Divine book. But if someone has never
had access to the Qur'an, then he is AHL AL-FATRAT , but if he
believes in the one Allah,loves and fears Allah, does good works for
His approval and prays, fastsand performs his religious duties as
required by the religion,then that person may hope for Paradise.
Because this person may not implement some parts of the Qur'an, out of
ignorance, but if he lives by the remaining ofthe Prophet Abraham
(pbuh) then since this person is ahl al-fatrat he may hope to enter
Paradise.
However, nobody can ever be certain that either he or anyone else will
go to Heaven or Hell.One can never say for certain that anyone, be he
Christian, Jew or Muslim, will go to Heaven or Hell. So long as a
morally virtuous person lives for the approval of Allah he mayhope for
Paradise from Him, and one may hope that this person will be one of
the saved, thoughone can never be certainof this. As Allah reveals
inthe Qur'an, all believers live "between hope and fear:"
Their sides eschew their beds as they call on theirLord in fear and
ardent hope. And they give of what We have provided for them. (Surat
as-Sajda, 16)
Since sincerity can only be experienced with unconditional belief in
Allah, hoping for the Heaven merely saying, "I am sincere", without
fulfilling the decrees of the religion is an insincere view that only
deceives the person himself. It is a great collapse of reason to
appear with a reasoningcommanding that "satanists can go to the Heaven
if they are sincere" and try to show a criminal person who overtly
murders a human being and who evidently denies Allah as a sincere
person deserving the Heaven.
A person who denies Allah, commits crimes and engages in immoral acts
commits all these misdeeds due to his insincerity and his disbelieving
and rebellious mind. Such a person is not even remotely close to
sincerity. He is dishonest and a liar. What is essential is not one's
seeing himself sincere but the recognition of his sincerity by Allah.
As long as a satanist does not regret, repent and turn to Allah with
sincerity, he is an unbeliever who is doomed to the Hell. (Allah knows
the truth)
Almighty Allah gives as an example in the Qur'anof a man who owns a
garden and who considers himself sincereand thinks that he deserves
the Heaven even though he is in complete denial of the Hereafter:
He entered his garden and wronged himself by saying, "I do not think
that this will ever end."
"I do not think the Hour will ever come. But if I should be sent back
to my Lord, I will definitely get something better in return." (Surat
al-Kahf, 35-36)
Our Lord informs us of the condition of the person whose garden was
destroyed as a calamity that came over him due to his denial.
There was no group to come to his aid, besides Allah, and he was not
given any help.
In that situation the onlyprotection is from Allah, the Real. He gives
the best reward and the bestoutcome. (Surat al-Kahf, 43-44)
Almighty Allah "knows what their hearts keep hidden and what they
divulge" (Surat an-Naml, 74). Those who are insincere to Allah are
people who cannot appreciate Allah properly and who cannot comprehend
this great fact. Almighty Allah, Who knows all what is concealed, is
certainly the One, Who knows best the sincerity in a person's heart.
Our Lord states in one verse of the Qur'an as thus:
Your Lord knows best what is in your selves. If you are righteous, He
is Ever-Forgiving to the remorseful. (Surat al-Isra, 25) - - ▓███▓

Not a drop of blood will be shed in the time of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi(pbuh), and there will bepeace and love everywhere

Our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) reveals in his
accounts that "the life span of my Ummah will be 7,000 years."
The Messenger of Allah (saas) stated: The life span of the world is
seven days in the afterlife days. Almighty Allah said that a day in
the sight of the Lord is like a thousand of your years .
In another hadith, our Prophet (saas) states that5,600 of these 7,000
years had passed up until his own day .
Five thousand, six hundred years have passed from this world . (Ali
Ibn Husamaddin (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-zaman,89))
A calculation of 7,000-5,600 based on these dates given by our Prophet
(saas) gives the 1,400 . We are now in the year 1430 [the
Hegirastyle.] (The 100 years from 1,400 to 1,500 represent the 1400s.)
Our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) has revealed has
revealed this with regard to the life span ofthe Ummah of Islam:
"THE LIFE OF MY UMMAH (COMMUNITY) WILL NOT EXCEED THE YEAR 1,500"
(Suyuti, Al-kashf `an (fi) Mujawazat Hadihi l-umma al-Alf, al-Hawi lil
Fatawi, Suyuti. 2/248, commentary by Ruhul Bayan. Bursevi. (Arabic)
4/262, Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Kitab al-Ilal, p. 89.)
This means that during the 100-year period between 1,400 and 1,500
[the Hegira style], believers will meet with two such holy personages
as the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), and this will be
avery significant age when the moral values of Islam rule the world
and the system of the antichrist is intellectuallydestroyed.
The period we are living in is the End Times. THE LAST AGE OF THE
WORLD. All of the portents concerning the coming of the Prophet Jesus
(pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi(pbuh) described by our Prophet (may Allah
bless him and grant him peace) have come true. And this will be a holy
age when faith, love andpeace rule the world. Our Prophet (may Allah
bless him and grant him peace) has reported that"the life of the Ummah
will extend up to 1,500" [the Hegira style]. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi,
the great Islamic scholar of the last century, said that "The probable
life span of the Ummah, the time when Islamic moral values rule the
world, will extend up to 1,506." AFTER 1,506 THERE WILL BE A PERIOD
CLOSE TO DOOMSDAY OF STRIFE, CORRUPTION AND BLOODSHED, WHEN PEOPLEARE
ENTIRELY DISTANCED FROM THE RELIGION.
THE EARTH IS NOW VERY OLD. We have now come to just about the end of
the world. What we nowawait IS THE COMING OF THE PROPHET JESUS (PBUH)
AND HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH) AND THE GENUINE AND POWERFUL FAITH THAT WILL
RULE THEWORLD by means of these holy individuals.
All the Portents of the End Times Have Come about: There Will Be No
More Major Wars
All of the portents of the End Times provided by our Prophet (saas)
have come about . All the climates of war and disorder in the End
Times described in the hadith as heralding the appearance of Hazrat
Mahdi (pbuh) have taken place. "THE TWO WORLD WARS THAT ARE PROBABLY
MEANT BY THE REFERENCES TO GOG AND MAGOG" in the Qur'an and the hadith
ARE OVER AND DONE WITH. Ideologies such as communism, fascism
andDarwinism that dragged whole societies toward irreligion once
dominated, but these have now lost almost all their former influence.
The Dabbat al-Ardh , a likely reference to the computer, has also
appeared, and the Internet has spread across the world. All of these
phenomena the hadith say will happen in the End Times have taken place
. This period,so close to the end of theworld, is now that of
thecoming of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
NO BLOOD WILL BE SPILLED IN THIS TIME WHEN THE PROPHET JESUS (PBUH)
AND HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH) WILL APPEAR, NOBODY WILL BE KILLED AND THERE
WILL BENO OPPRESSION. Following a long period of disorder , the world
will finally live by the love and peace brought with them by the moral
values of the Qur'an for the first time after the Age of Happiness in
which the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
lived. The honesty, beauty, tolerance and love of theProphet Jesus
(pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)will conquer people's hearts and instill
the beauty of faith in them.
For that reason, it is unjustified to produce terrifying scenarios
regarding this holy period that will see the coming of the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) . Because this age is one of
peace, happiness and brotherhood. It is an agewhen war, oppression,
injustice and bloodshed will all come to an end, and when beauty will
prevail. This period is the GOLDEN AGE. It is a period of calm and
love, when people attain material and spiritual peace, enjoy Allah's
bountiful blessings and turn away from war, oppression and conflict.
People will live by the essential moral values of Islam, the religion
of peace and love, as a result of which disorder and conflict will
come to an end. We are told all this in the hadith.
The Golden Age is a time when Muslims, as well asChristians and Jews,
will live in peace and ease. Contrary to the idea some masonic circles
try to indoctrinate people with, the members of theAbrahamic faiths
will notwar against one anotherin the time of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). There will be no question of such phenomena
as war, conflict, atom bombs, attacking Israel or shedding blood at
the Kaaba in this holy age . On the contrary, Jerusalem will be a
better, pleasanter and securer place than ever before, and peace will
reign there, as in the rest of the world.
Almighty Allah has always defended the Jews, the descendants ofthe
prophets. In the End Times, Allah will again protect the Jews through
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Allah speaks of the existence of the Jewish Holy
Land in the Qur'an. The Qur'an notes that so long as they live
honestly and in devotionto Allah's commands, theJews will live in
peace and security in the Holy Land. (Surat al-Baqara, 62 – Surat
al-Ma'ida, 69). Therefore, IN THE END TIMES JERUSALEM WILL BE FILLED
WITH FAITH AND LOVE OF ALLAH AND WILL BECOME A CITY OF PEACE INWHICH
BELIEVERS FROM ALL FAITHS LIVE TOGETHER IN SAFETY AND BROTHERHOOD.
Those who, under the influence of various masonic circles, expect war
and bloodshed in the time of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi
(pbuh) are mistaken. Some ill-informed Muslims andChristians who have
been exposed to this masonic indoctrination and provocation act in the
light of that way of thinking and fall out with one another,
totallyignoring the danger posed by irreligion. However, these events
they anticipate will not take place, AND ABSOLUTELY NO BLOOD WILL BE
SPILLED IN THE TIME OF THE PROPHET JESUS (PBUH) AND HAZRATMAHDI
(PBUH). Allah will not allow the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi
(pbuh) to be instrumental in any such possibility.
Degeneration Will Begin after 1506, and the Society of Denial That
Will Rule the World Will Be Confronted by Doomsday
Shortly before Doomsday, after 1506 [the Hegira style] and the
martyrdom of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), there
will be a worldwide physical and spiritual degeneration. After that
date, wars willfollow one after the other and there will be anarchy,
terror and slaughter; the bloodthirsty system of oppression will rule
the world. Irreligion will spread and not one Holy Book will remain in
the world. This period is thatof THE FINAL APPEARANCE OF THE
CORRUPTION OF GOG AND MAGOG.
The distinguishing feature of Gog and Magog, described in the Qur'an,
is that they are bloodthirsty and anarchic. This system, which led to
the deaths of 250-300 million people in the First and Second World
Wars, will come to the fore in the run-up to Doomsday after 1506. The
final stage of the corruption of Gog and Magog that will erupt after
1506 willbe of the kind of that of "Genghis Khan and Hulagu," in the
worlds ofthe worthy Islamic scholar Bediuzzaman. Genghis Khan and
Hulagu are two despotic rulers who shed rivers ofblood. The corruption
of Gog and Magog that will occur after 1506 will be on that scale.
This heretical, bloody and corrupt period is that when the world
hascome to an end. From what we can tell from the hadith and
Bediuzzaman's accounts,Doomsday will take place in 1545 (2120 AD).
The terrible corruption that has enfolded the Earth will come to an
end with Doomsday, which will break the pride of the deniers whoturned
their backs on belief in Allah.
Genuine Muslims, Christians and Jews Must Not Fall for the Masons' Tricks
It is very important for Muslims, Christians and Jews not to fall into
error on this subject: According to the indications in the hadith, the
final corruption of Gog and Magog and the climate of war and
oppression in the world will take place after 1506, very close to
Doomsday. Until that time, and by Allah's leave, the age of peace,
security and love of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi
(pbuh)will prevail on Earth. Thisperiod is the Golden Age.During that
time, "not a single person's nose will be made to bleed, and a
sleeping person will not be wakened." i
It must not be forgotten that the aim of various masonic circles is
always to divide those who believe in Allah, to set them against one
another, and to set up an oppressive system by intellectually
spreading bloodshed. Therefore, the important thing is not to fall for
the tricks of the masonic circles in question, but to strengthen
genuine belief in Allah by spreading the peace andlove of which He
approves.
Our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) has said that in
the time of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), love,
peace, affection, compassion and security will reign and that no blood
will be spilled:
People will seek refuge in the Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as honey bees
cluster around their sovereign. He will fill theworld that was once
full of cruelty with justice. His justice will be as suchthat HE WILL
NOT WAKE A SLEEPING PERSON OR EVENSHED ONE DROP OF BLOOD. The Earth
will return to the age of happiness. (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi 'Alamat
al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p.29)
[Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] will follow the way of the Prophet. HE WILL
NOTWAKE UP A SLEEPING PERSON OR SHED BLOOD. (Al-Barzanji, Pamuk
Publishing, Istanbul, 2002, p. 163)
In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) no one willbe woken up from their
sleep OR HAVE A BLEEDINGNOSE . (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat
al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 44)
Those obeying him [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] will pay homage to him between
ruqun and maqam (around Qaba). They will not wake a sleeping person,
NEVER SHED BLOOD . (Al-Haytamî,Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat
al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 24)
This (Amr) [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] WILL FILL EARTH WITH JUSTICE , just
as people previously filled it with cruelty. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/348)
The world filled with oppression and tyranny WILL OVERFLOW WITH
JUSTICE AFTER HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (pbuh)] COMES . (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar
fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 20)
THERE WILL BE SUCH AN ABUNDANCE OF JUSTICE IN THE HAZRAT MAHDI'S
(pbuh) TIME that just as all the goods taken awayby force will be
returnedto their owners . (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi
al-Muntazar, p. 23)
HIS [THE MAHDI'S (pbuh)] JUSTICE WILL COVER ALL PLACES and he will
rule among people with the Sunna of the Prophet (saas). He will even
also call for one who is in need to be brought forward, and when that
command is obeyed onlyone person will come. (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi
`Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 20)
If there were only one day left for the world, that day would be
lengthened until a man from among the people of my household, was
sent; just as the Earth is filled with cruelty, HE WILL FILL THE EARTH
WITHJUSTICE . (Sunan Abu Dawud, 5/92)
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is one of my people, and HEWILL FILL THE EARTH
WITHTRUTH AND JUSTICE , just as it is now filled with cruelty and
torture. (Sunan Abu Dawud, 5/93)
Like the cup fills with water, SO WILL EARTH FILLWITH PEACE. THERE
WILL BE NO ENMITY LEFT between any people. ALLHOSTILITY, FIGHTING, AND
ENVY WILL DISAPPEAR . (Sahih-i Muslim, 1/136)
... In the same way that Almighty Allah began with me, so He will
bringmatters to an end with him (Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)). In the same
waythat THEY WERE FREED FROM POLYTHEISM AND ANTIPATHY (DISCORD AND
ENMITY) AND THEIR HEARTS WERE FILLED WITHFRIENDSHIP AND LOVE THROUGH
ME, SO IT WILL BE AGAIN (WITH THE COMING OF HAZRAT MAHDI (pbuh)).
(Portents of the Coming of the Mahdi of the End Times,
Jalaladdinas-Suyuti , p. 20)
... IN HIS [ HAZRAT MAHDI (pbuh)] TIME THE GOOD BECOME EVEN MORE GOOD,
AND EVEN THE WICKED ONES ARE TREATED WELL . (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi,
Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-zaman,p. 17) - - ▓███▓

The incidents in masjid al-Aqsa are a consequence of a provocation artificially ignited under the guidance of atheist freemasonry

The ongoing incidents inMasjid al-Aqsa, which have intensified in
recent months, occur due to the provocations and under the guidance of
various centers aiming to ignite clashes between Muslims and Jews. The
major goal of these centers is to strive to spread atheism, Darwinism
and materialism to the entireworld. Not being deceived by these
provocations, and dragged by such misdirection is of great importance
for all devout Muslims and devout Jews.
A Jew can surely go to a mosque whenever he wishes; he can pray and
worship there. Indeed the honorable rabbis who visited Turkey as Mr.
Adnan Oktar's guests also visited a great Ottoman mosque and performed
regular prayer (salat) there together with Muslims. During this visit
not a single undesirable incident occurred. On the contrary, Muslims
greeted and met their Jewish guests in a brotherly spirit with
sincerity and love. Mosque, which is a reflection of all beauties of
Islam, which is a religion of love, is the masjid of Allah and the
gates of this holy place are wide open to anyone who sincerely loves
Allah and desires toworship and remembers our Lord.
Likewise a Muslim can go to a synagogue and watch those Jews
worshipping there, pray together with them and remember Allah. These
acts of worship performed in tranquility are, no doubt, profoundly
beautiful. It is a beauty and a blessing for Muslims and Jews, the
sons of Prophet Abraham (as), who believe in one Allah, have faith in
the Judgment Day, the life ofthe Hereafter, prophets and angels, to
worship together and remain side by side in their houses of prayers.
However, it would surelybe more appropriate to visit all places of
worshipin small groups, without disturbing peace and tranquility there
and giving rise to any disorder. While visiting places of worship, it
is best to be in a silent, peaceful and brotherly spirit that would
not hinder the worships of the devout who stand in awe.
The declarations and incitements intended to ignite disorder at
certaintimes particularly in Haram al-Sharif, the holycenter of the
three Abrahamic religions, is a great tribulation (fitnah)and a plot
specially designed to cause disagreement among believers. The
existence of people who have no relation whatsoever with the real
morality of religion but who have infiltrated into the community of
the devout and live among them harboring racist, communist and
socialist views is probable. It is no doubt difficult to discern those
people within these groups willing to stir tribulation(fitnah) and
uproar. Taking advantage of such environments which are vulnerable to
such disorder, they aim to weaken the devout and strengthen their own
ideologies by using the religious delicacies. Consequently, a dark
plot designed to set the sons of the Prophet Abraham (as) against one
another is in question here.
In order to give no way to these artificial conflicts and ruin all the
plots hatched to distancebelievers from one another, genuine
devoutshould assume rational and corrective attitudes and keep their
composure. It is obvious that such artificial tensions will harm the
sincerity between genuine Jews and genuine Muslims, both the sons of
the Prophet Abraham (as), and disrupt the existence of a peaceful and
secure environment essential for a worship performedin awe. In order
not to give rise to provocation, prevent unnecessary tension between
relations and prevent the rupture of bonds of brotherhood, it is the
best to perform our worship to our All-Mighty Lord in compliance with
the religion of the Prophet Abraham (as), a man of natural pure
belief.
Haram al-Sharif We should keep in mind that it is the atheist circles
that try to disrupt the peace and set believers against one another.
As the sons of the Prophet Abraham (as), sincere Muslims andsincere
Jews, share the same ideals and advocate the same view.What we all
advocate in common is, in compliance with Allah's approval,
brotherhood, love, compassion, peace and friendship. Those spreading
the news that there will be an attack toHaram al-Sharif, Masjid
al-Aqsa, strive to stir fitnah, unrest and bring about artificial
tension are the insidious enemies of Allah under the influence of the
system of dajjal. Those having sincere faith in Allah should see and
recognize the insidious plots of these dark centers that serve to
irreligion and embark on an ideological work that will ruin their
plots.
Genuine Jews and genuine Muslims, should not forget that such
artificial events ignited particularly in Masjid al-Aqsa are specially
planned to distance believers from one another. It is of great
importance for sincere believers not to believe in such provocateurs'
inculcations but consolidate brotherhoodand friendship among one
another. Once the feelings of brotherhood and spirit of unity is
strengthened among believers, this dajjalic scheme will be averted and
genuine faith will grow among people likeavalanche. For this reason
devout Jews and devout Muslims should join forces in an ideological
struggle against atheism and unite to spread the faith in Allah to the
entire world.
In the Time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) All the Demolished Masjids Will Be
Rebuilt; Sincere Believers Will Worship inthese Masjids in Security
The blessed period whenall the people in the world will attain peace
and security, the members of the three blessed religions will worship
in peace and ease is the period when the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat
Mahdi (as) will appear. By our all-Mighty Allah's leave, in this
period of peace, justice, security and abundance promised in all holy
books, people will be guided and turn to Allah and all the genuine
devout will worship together in masjids in peace and security.
In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), PROPHET SOLOMON'S (AS) MASJID BEING
THE FOREMOST, ALL MASJIDS WILL BE REPAIRED, RECONSTRUCTEDAND THEY WILL
BE THE PLACES OF WORSHIP OF ALL GENUINE DEVOUT.
Some heresays suggested by some insidious centers regarding the
demolishing of Qubbat as-Sahra and Masjid al-Aqsa during the
reconstruction of the Solomon Masjid is an extremely irrational claim
and is contrary to the peace and love message of Islam. In the time of
Hazrat Mahdi (as)not only the Solomon Masjid but also ALL MASJIDS WILL
BE REBUILT AND BY ALLAH'S LEAVE AND THEY WILL REMAIN TOEXIST UNTIL
DOOMSDAY.
As is related in the verse,"All masjids belong to Allah so do not call
on anyone else besides Allah." (Surat al-Jinn, 18) all masjids belong
to Allah and, by Allah's leave, they will remain to exist as long as
the world exists.
Mr. Adnan Oktar explained in his interviews that in the time of Hazrat
Mahdi (as)all masjids will be constructed:
From Mr. Adnan Oktar's Interview on 27 October,2009
ADNAN OKTAR: In summary, sometimes people advocate the same idea but
somehow they get in quarrel all of a sudden. I see similar incidents
on television when they are in favor of the same opinion but
unexpectedly get into dispute. However, we as the Islamic world are in
support of the same values with Israel which is brotherhood, love,
peace and friendship. Would it ever be possible to inflict any harm to
children or people there? Also, our Muslim brothers are restless there
due to a possible attack or conquest of Haram al-Sharif or Masjid
al-Aqsa. No such thing can or may happen, Allah knows the truth.
Sometimes a very small group of a few in three or five people
groupingsmay get into such feverish acts, but there isno need to take
these seriously since nothing like that may happen. But by all means
the enormous need for appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the Islamic
world is better understood in every aspect. See that Hazrat Mahdi's
(as) advent is a great necessity for Israel,as well as for Palestine,
Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Kirkuk, Turkic Republics, Afghanistan,
Turkmenistan and the entire Turkish States. Because in an overnight
there will be an atmosphere of friendship where a compassionate,
merciful,and just person will achieve results straight away and there
will be no bureaucratic barriers.Since at the moment in order to just
say that youare our friend and we love you, there is requisite for
official correspondence. There are bureaucratic barriersfor this
message to go from one place to another.
From Mr. Adnan Oktar's Interview on 22 October,2009
ADNAN OKTAR: Why should Masjid al-Aqsa be demolished? Masjid al-Aqsa
will remain for all eternity. Why should it be destroyed? There is
enough place there. There is a vacant land, it is a vast land. Prophet
Solomon's (as) masjid can be rebuilt there in a form faithful to its
original. This is a beauty;for instance Prophet Abraham's (as) place
andthe locations he had been, the regions whereProphet Ishmael (as),
Isaac (as), Jacob (as) and all other prophets should be built.
Mosquescan be built there. If he performed salat (regularprayer)
somewhere, if it is said that he performed salat at a certain place,
then a masjid should be constructed there. From then on, that place is
a masjid. If it is known that he performed salat there, then that
place should be considered as a masjid. And the demolished, old
masjids. They will be rebuilt. Of course, by Allah's leave, we aspire
for this. We want it; this is, surely, one of the first things we will
accomplish once the Turkish-Islamic Union is established. To rebuild
Prophet Solomon's (as) masjid. This is quite a distortion,and indeed a
very remorseless distortion. Can I ever say, "Let's demolish it?"
ADNAN OKTAR: By Allah's leave, we will turn graves, masjids and the
places where all holy people, Allah's beloved servants, prophets
performed their salat, into heaven. Insha'Allah, they will be places
full ofgardens and vineyards. And when the Turkish-Islamic Union is
established we will accomplish it in a very short time insha'Allah.
Insha'Allah all humanity will experience the beauty of that
civilization, the depth of that love and that insanebliss. And let me
say that no power can hinder this. I do not say, "It will happen", I
say, "It has just happened and people will see it." I do not say
something that I am not sure by a hundred percent. All-Mighty Allah
has never embarrassed me, since I tell all these based on the hadith
of our Prophet (saas). Everywhere will be prosperous insha'Allah.
Verses from the Qur'an About Reconstruction of the Masjids
The masjids of Allah should only be frequented by those who believe in
Allah andthe Last Day and establish prayer and pay alms, and fear no
one but Allah. They are the ones most likely to be guided. (Surat
at-Tawba,18)
It is not for the associaters to frequent the masjids of Allah,
bearing witness against themselves of their disbelief. They are the
ones whose actions will come to nothing. They will be in the Fire
timelessly, for ever. (Surat at-Tawba, 17)
Who could do greater wrong than someone who bars access to the masjids
of Allah, preventing His name from being rememberedin them, and goes
about destroying them? Such people will never be able to enter them –
except in fear. They will have disgrace in this world and in the
Hereafter they will have a terrible punishment. (Surat al-Baqara, 114)
Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem
Hadith narrated the Prophet Muhammad (saas) related to the rebuilding
of all the masjids during the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as)
The Prophet Muhammad (saas) said these about Masjid al-Aqsa:
"Solomon (as), son of David asked three thingsfrom Allah as he
completes the building of Bayt al-Maqdis:
1- The ability to make judgment in accordance with the divine judgment.
2- To be granted property and reign that have never been and will be
given to anyone
3- Let everyone who comes to perform prayer(salat) alone to Masjid
al-Aqsa, return as cleansed from all his sinslike the day he was
bornfrom his mother.
The first two were given to him, I wish the third one was given. (Ibh Majah)
Hazrat Uthman (ra) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (saas) said:
"Whobuilds a mosque in demand of the approval of Allah, Allah will
build ahouse for him in the Paradise." (Sahih Bukhari, Muslim,
Tirmidhi)
Amr Ibn Abasa (ra) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (saas) said:
"Whoever builds a mossque in demand of the remembrance of Allah, Allah
will build a house for him in the Paradise." (Nasai)
Hazrat Jabir Ibn Adillah (ra) narrates: "The Messenger of Allah
(saas)said: "Whoever builds a small mosque or a mosque smaller than a
grouse bird's nest, Allah will build him a house inParadise." (Sunan
Ibn Majah)
Abdullah Ibn Omar (ra) narrates: "Mosque was constructed out of mud
brick during the time of the Messenger of Allah (saas). Its ceiling
was covered with date branches. Date logs consisted its stakes...
Hazrat Uthman (ra) reconstructed the mosque by increasing itswidth and
length in the same form as it was in the time of the Messenger (saas)
with mud brick and date branches. Hazrat Uthman(ra) modified it
thoroughly and made a lot of extensions. He constructed the walls with
embroidered stones and mud brick. Heconstructed the stakes with
embroidered stones. He also made the ceiling with a very valuable tree
of East Indian oak. (Bukhari, Abu Dawud)

The Description of Paradise – III

The Soil of Paradise
Describing the soil of Paradise, the Prophet Muhammad said:
"I entered Paradise, where I saw lights of pearl, its soil was musk."
[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Ibn Sayyaad asked the Messenger about the soil of Paradise. He said,
"It is a fine white powder of pure musk." [Muslim and Ahmad]
Abu Hurayrah said: "I asked, 'O' Messenger of Allaah, 'From what are
people created?' He said: "From water." We (present Companions) asked,
'From what is Paradise built?' He said, 'Bricks of gold and silver and
mortar of fragrant musk; its pebbles are pearls and rubies, and its
soil is saffron. Whoever enters it is blessed with joy and will never
bemiserable; he will remain there forever and will never die; his
clothes will never wear out and his youth will never fade away.'"
[Ahmad and others]
The Rivers of Paradise
Allaah, the Most High and Exalted,has told us that rivers flow from
beneath Paradise. He Says in the Quran (what means):
{And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds
that they will have gardens[in Paradise] beneath which riversflow.}
[Quran 2: 25]
Allaah also Says (what means): {Those will have gardens of perpetual
residence; beneath them rivers will flow.} [Quran 18: 31]
The Prophet has told us clearly about the rivers of Paradise. He said
that during his Mi'raaj' (miraculous Ascension to the heavens):
"...I saw four rivers flowing out from beneath Sidrat Al-Muntaha (the
Lote Tree in the seventh heaven), two visible and two hidden. I asked,
'O Jibreel (Gabriel), what are these rivers?' He said, 'The two hidden
rivers are rivers of Paradise, and the two visible rivers are the Nile
and the Euphrates." [Muslim]
Imaam Al-Bukhaari reported from Anas Ibn Maalik that theMessenger of
Allaah said: "I was shown As-Sidrah (Lote Tree), where I saw four
rivers, two visible rivers and two hidden rivers. The two visible
rivers are the Nile and the Euphrates, and the two hidden rivers are
rivers inParadise."
Moreover, the Messenger of Allaah said: "Seehaan and Jeehaan (the
Euphrates and the Nile) are all from the rivers of Paradise." [Muslim]
Shaykh Al-Albaani said: "Perhaps what is meant is that these rivers
originated from Paradise just as mankind did; thisHadeeth does not
contradict the well-established fact that these rivers spring forth
from known sources on earth. If this is not in fact the meaning of
this Hadeeth,then it is one of the matters of the Unseen (Al-Ghayb),
which we must believe and accept because the Prophet has told us
aboutit." [Silsilat Al-A Haadeeth As-Saheehah, 1/18]
Al-Qaari said: "These four rivers are considered to be among the
rivers of Paradise, because they are so sweet and digestive, so fresh
and wholesome. They contain blessings from Allaah, and are honored by
the fact that the Prophet came to them and drank from them." [Mishkaat
Al-Masaabeeh 3/80
Another of the rivers of Paradise is Al-Kawthar which Allaah, the
Almighty has given to His Messenger according His Saying (which
means):
{Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], Al-Kawthar.} [Quran 108: 1]
The Prophet saw it during his Ascension and told us about it. He said:
"Whilst I was walkingin Paradise, I saw a river whose banks were domes
of hollow pearls. I asked, 'What is this, O' Jibreel?' He said, 'This
is Al-Kawthar which your Lord has given to you.' Its scent - or its
mud - was of fragrant musk." Hudbah [one of the narrators] was not
sure if he said Teeb (scent) or Teen (mud). [Al-Bukhaari]
On the other hand, Ibn Katheer compiled a number of Ahadeeth in which
the Prophet spoke about A1-Kawthar, such as the Hadeeth narrated by
Muslim from Anas, which states that when the verse (which means): "
{Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], Al-Kawthar.} , was
revealed, the Prophet said:
"Do you know what Al-Kawthar is?" They said, "Allaah and His Messenger
know best." He said, "It is a river that Allaah has promised to me,
and in it is muchgoodness." [Muslim]
He also quoted the Hadeeth narrated by Ahmad from Anas according to
which the Prophet said:
"I have been given Al-Kawthar, which is a river flowing across the
face of the earth; its banks are domes of pearl and it is not covered.
I touched its mud with my hand, and found that it was fragrant musk,
and its pebbles were pearls." [Ahmad]
According to another Hadeeth, also narrated by Ahmad from Anas the Prophet said:
"It is a river that Allaah has given to me in Paradise. Its mud is
musk and its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Birds
with necks like the necks of camels drink from it." [Ahmad]
The rivers of Paradise do not contain just water. There are rivers of
water, of milk, of wine and of clear honey. Allaah, the Most High and
Exalted, Says (whatmeans):
{Is the description of Paradise, which the righteous are promised,
wherein are rivers of water unaltered, rivers of milk the taste of
which never changes,rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and
rivers of purified honey, in which they will have from all [kinds of]
fruits and forgiveness from their Lord, like [that of] those who abide
eternally in the Fire and are given to drink scalding water that will
sever their intestines.} [Quran 47: 15]
Moreover, the Messenger of Allaah said: "In Paradise thereis a sea of
honey, a sea of wine, a sea of milk and a sea of water, and the rivers
flow out of these seas." [At-Tirmithi]
He also told us of a river called Baariq, which flows by the gate of
Paradise. During the period of Barzakh (the time between death and the
Day of Resurrection), the martyrs will bebeside this river. Ahmad,
At-Tabaraani and Al-Haakim reported from Ibn 'Abbaas that the
Messenger of Allaah said:
"The martyrs are in a green domebeside the river of Baariq, by the
gate of Paradise, from which provision comes to them morning and
evening." [Al-Jaami'] - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

The Description of Paradise –II

The Grades of Paradise
The evidence that Paradise has various grades and its inhabitants will
be in different ranks and categories:
Paradise consists of grades, someof which are above others, and its
people will be of differing levels and categories according to their
position in Paradise. Almighty Allaah Says (what means):
{But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds —
for those will be the highest degrees [in position].} [Quran 20:75]
One of those who explained and clarified this issue was Ibn Taymiyyah
who said:"Paradise has grades that are widely differentiated. The
beloved Awliyaa' (those close to Allaah because of their piety and
heedfulness) will be placed in those levels according to their faith
and piety. Allaah, the Most Exalted, Says (what means):
{Whoever should desire the immediate (worldly gratifications) — We
hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have
made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and
banished.} [Quran 17:18]
Allaah, the Most High, explains how He gives more of His Bounty in
this world or the next, as He wills, and His Bounty is not withheld
[forbidden] from either the righteous or the sinful. Allaah, the
Exalted, Says (what means):
{Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But
the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in
distinction.} [Quran17: 21]
Allaah Almighty explains that the differences between people in the
Hereafter will be greater thanthe differences between them in this
life, and the difference between the levels or ranks of the Hereafter
is greater than the differences here in this life. Allaahalso
differentiates between His Prophets, may Allaah exalt their mention,
as He does between therest of His believing slaves. Allaah,the
All-Majestic, Says (what means):
{Those messengers- some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them
were those to whom Allaah spoke, and He raised some of them in degree.
And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him
with the pure spirit [(Jibreel (Gabriel)].} [Quran 2: 253]
Allaah also Says (what means): {And your Lord is Most Knowing of
whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And We have made some of the
prophets exceed others [in various ways], and to Daawood (David) We
gave the Book [of Psalms].} [Quran 17: 55]
On the other hand, the Prophet Muhammad said:
"A strong believer is better and more beloved to Allaah than a weak
believer, although both are good. Pay attention to that whichbenefits
you, seek Allaah's help, and never feel helpless. If something happens
to you, do not say, 'If only such and such would have happened.' Say
instead: 'Allaah has decreed it and He does what He wills.' Saying 'if
only' opens the way for Satan." [Muslim]
Besides, the Prophet also said:
"If a judge forms an independent judgment to decide an issue in the
light of the Quran and the Sunnah (Ijtihaad) and is correct, he will
have two rewards, and if he is mistaken, he will have one reward."
[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Indeed, there are many verses in the Quran which indicate that there
are different degrees and various ranks as a reward for the believers
in Paradise (according to the excellence of their deeds). These verses
are as follows:
{Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of
Makkah] and fought [and those who did so after it]. Those are greater
in degree than those who spent afterwards and fought. But to all
Allaah has promised the best [reward] And Allaah, with what you do, is
Acquainted....} [Quran 57: 10]
{Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] — other than the
disabled — and the Mujahideen, [who strive and fight] in the cause of
Allaah with their wealth and their lives. Allaah has preferred the
Mujahideen through their wealth and their lives over those who remain
[behind], by degrees. And to all [i.e. both] Allaah has promised the
best [reward]. But Allaah has preferred the Mujahideen over those who
remain [behind] with a great reward — Degrees [of high position] from
Him and forgiveness and mercy.} [Quran 4: 95-96]
{Have you made the providing of water for the pilgrim and the
maintenance of al-Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah) equal
to [the deeds of] one who believes in Allaah and the Last Day and
strives in the cause of Allaah? They are not equal in the sight of
Allaah. And Allaah does not guide the wrongdoing people. The ones who
have believed, emigrated and striven in the cause of Allaah with their
wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the sight of Allaah.
And it is those who are the attainers [of success]. Their Lord gives
them good tidings of mercyfrom Him and approval and of gardens for
them wherein is enduring pleasure. [They will be] abiding therein
forever. Indeed, Allaah has with Him a great reward.} [Quran 9: 19-22]
{Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night,
prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter andhoping
for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those
who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who
are] people of understanding.} [Quran 39. 9]
{... O you who have believed, when you are told, "Space yourselves" in
assemblies, then make space; Allaah will make space for you.' And when
you are told, "Arise," then arise; Allaah will raise those who have
believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees. And
Allaah is Acquaintedwith what you do.} [Quran 58. 11]
Al-Bukhaari reported from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said:
"Whoever believes in Allaah and His Messenger, offers prayer perfectly
and fasts the month of Ramadhaan, will be granted Paradise as of right
by Allaah, no matter whether he fights in Allaah's cause or remains in
the land where he is born." The people said: "O Messenger of Allaah,
shall we acquaint the people with this good news?" He said, "Paradise
has one hundred grades (and ranks) which Allaah has reserved for the
Mujaahideen who fight in His Cause, and the extent of difference
(distance) between each of the two grades is like the distance between
the heavens and the earth. So when you ask Allaah for something,
askfor Al-Firdaws, which is the best and highest part of Paradise." I
(the narrator, Abu Hurayrah) thought that the Prophet said: "Above it
(Al-Firdaws) is the Throne of the Most Merciful, and from it originate
the rivers of Paradise." [Al-Bukhaari] - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

The Description of Paradise - I

There is nothing Like It
The delights of Paradise surpass imagination and defy description.They
are like nothing known to the people of this world no matter how
advanced we may become.
What we achieve is nothing in comparison with the joys of the
Hereafter. As is mentioned in several Ahadeeth, there is nothing like
Paradise: "It is sparkling light, aromatic plants, alofty palace, a
flowing river, ripe fruit, a beautiful wife and abundant clothing, in
an eternal abode of radiant joy, in beautiful, soundly-constructed
high houses." [Ibn Maajah]
The Prophet Muhammad was asked by his companions about the buildings
of Paradise and he replied with a wonderful description: "(In it are)
Bricks of gold and silver, mortar of fragrant musk, pebbles of pearl
and sapphire, and soil of saffron. Whoever enters it is filled with
joy and will never feel miserable; he will live there forever and will
never die; their clothes will never wear out and their youth will
never fade." [Ahmad and others]
Describing Paradise, Almighty Allaah Says (what means): {And when you
look there [in Paradise], you will see pleasure and great dominion."}
[Quran 76:20]
What Allaah Almighty has kept hidden from us of the delights of
Paradise is beyond our ability to comprehend. Almighty Allaah Says
(what means):
{And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes
[i.e. satisfaction] as reward for what they used to do.} [Quran 32.
17]
Besides, the Messenger of Allaah said:
"Allaah, the Exalted, has said: "I have prepared for My righteous
Slaves [in Paradise] what no eyes have ever seen, no ears have ever
heard of, and what has never come to the mind or heart of a human
being."; recite, if you wish{And no soul knows what has been hidden
for them of comfort for eyes [i.e. satisfaction] as reward for what
they used to do.} [Quran 32:17] [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Moreover, Imaam Muslim reported that Sahl Ibn Sa'd As-Saa'idi said: I
attended a gathering where the Messenger of Allaah described Paradise,
and I stayed until he finished speaking. At the end of the
description, he said: "In it is whatno eyes have ever seen, no ears
have ever heard of, and what has never come to the mind or heart of a
human being." He then recited the verse (which means): {Their sides
part [i.e. they arise] from [their] beds; they supplicatetheir Lord in
fear and aspiration, and from what We have providedthem, they spend ).
And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes
[i.e. satisfaction] as reward for what they used to do.} [Quran 32:
16-17]
The Gates of Paradise
Paradise has gates through which the believers will enter, as the
angels enter therein, as Allaah, the Most Exalted, Says (what means):
{Gardens of perpetual residence, whose doors will be opened to them.}
[Quran 38: 50]
Allaah, the Most Exalted, Says (what means): {Gardens of perpetual
residence; they will enter them with whoever were righteous among
their fathers, their spouses and their descendants. And the angels
will enter upon them from every gate, [saying]. 'Peace [i.e. security]
be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final
home.'} [Quran 13: 23-24]
Allaah, the Most High and Exalted,has told us that these gates will be
opened when the believers reach them, and they [the believers] will be
welcomed by the angels with greetings of peace. Almighty Allaah Says
(whatmeans): {…when they reach it while its gates have been openedand
its keepers say, 'Peace be upon you; you have become pure;so enter it
to abide eternally therein,'} [Quran 39: 73]
The number of gates of Paradise is eight; one of them is called Ar-
Rayaan, which is exclusively for those who fast. The Messenger
of Allaah said: "In Paradise there are eight gates. There is one gate
called 'Ar-Rayyaan'. No-one will enter it except those who fast, and
when they have entered, it will be locked behind them, and no-one else
will enter it." [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
There are also gates for those who pray much, those who give charity
and those who fight in Jihad, as well as the gate called Ar-Rayyaan
for those who fast.
In a Hadeeth reported by both Al-Bukhaari and Muslim, Abu Hurayrah
narrated that the Messenger of Allaah said:
"Whoever spends a pair (of anything) from his wealth for thesake of
Allaah, will be called fromthe gates of Paradise, Paradise has eight
gates. Whoever will be from the people of the prayer (i.e.the people
who observe the prayer regularly, properly, and perform both
obligatory and supererogatory prayers), will be called from the gate
of prayer; whoever will be from among the people of Sadaqah (charity,
i.e. spend money in charity) will be called from the gate of charity.
Whoever will be from among the people of Jihad will be called from the
gate of Jihad, and whoever will be from among the people of fasting
(obligatory and optional) will be called from the gate of fasting."
Furthermore, Abu Bakr said: "By Allaah, it would not matter if a
person was called from any of them, but will anyone be there tobe
called from all of them, O' Messenger of Allaah?" He said,"Yes, and I
hope that you will be one of them." [Al-Bukhaari Muslim]
Abu Bakr's question refers to a person who has all these good
qualities: prayer, fasting, charity, Jihad, etc., in order to be
called from all the gates. In another Hadeeth, the Prophet said:
"Whoever spends a pair (of anything) for the sake of Allaah will be
called from all eight gates of Paradise. He also spoke of the person
who performs ablution and does it properly, then lifts hisgaze to the
sky and says: 'Ashhadu an laa ilaaha illallaah wahdahu laa shareeka
lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasooluhu,' the eightgates
of Paradise will be opened to him, and he will enter it through any
gate he wishes." [ibid]
Additionally, 'Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab said: "The Messenger of Allaah
said: "Whoever performs ablution and does it well, then lifts his gaze
to the heavens and says: 'Ashhadu an laa ilaaha illa Allaah wahdahu
laa shareeka lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasooluhu (I
bear witness that None has the right to be worshipped but Allaah, He
has nopartners nor associates, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His
slave and Messenger), the eight gates of Paradise will be opened to
him, and he will enter it through any gate he wishes." [Muslim]
Allaah also Says (what means): {…when they reach it while its gates
have been opened and its keepers say, 'Peace be upon you; you have
become pure; so enter it to abide eternally therein'.} [Quran 39:73]
The Prophet told us that there is a gate, which is specific for those
who will not be called to account: this is the right-hand gate of
Paradise. The rest of themwill enter Paradise with all other nations
through other gates. In aHadeeth about Ash-Shafaa'ah (intercession),
the Prophet said:
"Allaah will say: 'O Muhammad, admit those of your Ummah (followers)
who do not need to be brought to account through the right hand gate;
and the others will enter through other gates like the rest of the
people." [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
In the same Hadeeth, the Prophet described the width of the gate of
Paradise, stating that the width between the two sides of the gate is
like the distance between Makkah and Hajar, or between Makkah and
Basra." [ibid]
The Messenger of Allaah said: "The distance between the two
gate-panels of one of the gates ofParadise is the distance of
forty-year's walking, but a time will come when it would be very
crowded." [Ahmad]

Dought and Clear, - al-Wali and al-Mawla are names of Allah, but itis permissible to call a Muslim “mawlana”.

Is the name al-Wali one of the beautiful names of Allah? Sometimes we
hear people calling a shaykh "mawlana" or saying "So and so is
mawlana" – is that permissible?
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
al-Wali and al-Mawla aretwo of the names of Allah, because Allah,
mayHe be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Or have they taken (for worship) Awliya (guardians, supporters,
helpers, protectors, etc.) besides Him? But Allah, He Alone is the
Wali (Protector, etc.). And it is He Who gives life to the dead, and
He is Able to do all things"
[ash-Shoora 42:9]
"Allah is the Wali (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe.
Hebrings them out from darkness into light"
[al-Baqarah 2:257]
"And if they turn away, then know that Allah is your Mawla (Patron,
Lord, Protector and Supporter, etc.), (what) an Excellent Mawla, and
(what) an Excellent Helper!"
[al-Anfaal 8:40]
"Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our
Mawla (Patron, Supporter and Protector,etc.) and give us victory over
the disbelieving people"
[al-Baqarah 2:286]
"Say: Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained
for us. He is our Mawla (Lord, Helper and Protector)." And in Allah
let the believers put their trust"
[at-Tawbah 9:51].
And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
"You are its Guardian (Wali) and its Lord (Mawla)."
Narrated by Muslim, 7081
See: Fayd al-Qadeer, 2/613; al-Qawaa'id al-Mathla, p. 15
Secondly:
It is permissible to call another person "mawlana" if he is Muslim,
but it is not permissible to say that toa disbeliever.
Some of the scholars said that it is permissibleto use the word mawla
to refer to a Muslim who is distinguished in knowledge or
righteousness.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said to Zayd
ibn Haarithah: "You are our brother and our mawla."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari,2552
The word mawla may beused with reference to an owner, companion,
relative, neighbour, ally, supporter, lover, benefactor, recipient of
kindness, slave or freed slave. See: al-Qamoos al-Muheet.
Ibn al-Atheer said: The word mawla appears frequently in hadeeth. It
is a word that may be applied to many things. It may refer to the
Lord, the owner, the master, the benefactor, the freed slave, the
supporter, the lover, the follower, the neighbour,the cousin, the
ally, the son-in-law, the slave, thefreed slave, and the recipient of
kindness. It mostly appears in hadeeth and should be interpreted
according tothe context of the hadeeth in which it is mentioned.
Everyone who is in charge of a matter or undertakes a matter may be
describedas its mawla or wali.
End quote from an-Nihaayah fi Ghareeb al-Hadeeth, 5/227
Hence there is nothing wrong with giving this name to a person so long
as he is not a disbeliever.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:Section: The dhimmi
cannot be addressed as Sayyiduna etc
With regard to addressing (the dhimmi)as sayyiduna, mawlana and the
like (titles roughly meaning "our master"), that is definitely haraam.
End quote from Ahkaam Ahl adh-Dhimmah, 2/771
An-Nawawi said: Imam Abu Ja'far an-Nahhaas said in his book Sinaa'at
al-Kitaab: With regard tothe word al-mawla, we do not know of any
difference of opinion among the scholars concerning the fact that no
one should say "mawlaya (my master)" to another person. But I say: We
have seen in the previous chapter that it is permissible in all
casesto say mawlaya and there is no difference between (the two forms
of the word). an-Nahhaas was speaking of the word with the definite
article (al-mawla). Similarly, an-Nahhaas said: The word sayyid may be
saidto anyone who is not an evildoer, but it should not be used with
the definite article (as-sayyid) to refer to anyone other than
Allah,may He be exalted. But the more correct view is that there is
nothing wrong with saying al-mawla and as-sayyid (with the definite
article,with reference to people) subject to the conditions mentioned
above, i.e., a person maybecalled as-sayyid (with the definite
article) if he is a person of virtue and goodness, either because of
his knowledge or his righteousness and so on.If he is an evildoer or
there is some doubt concerning his religious commitment and the like,
it is makrooh to call him sayyid.

al-Lafziyyah, p. 535

Dought and Clear, - Shar‘i attitude towards the books of Sayyid Qutb– take or leave them?.

Can we learn from the many books of Sayyid Qutb despite the fact that
some scholars have warned against them?
Praise be to Allah.
Ustaadh Sayyid Qutb is not a scholar and he is not known for any
contribution in hadeeth,fiqh or tafseer. Rather hewas a literary man
who loved Islam, defended it and promoted it, and he died for its sake
– as it appears to us – and we ask Allah to cause him to be among the
martyrs.
He wrote various books, in which he got somethings right and made some
mistakes. With regard to the scholars who fell into errors with regard
to 'aqeedah (belief), hadeeth or fiqh, we do not think that any of the
scholars have said that itis haraam to learn from them altogether or
to refrain from quoting them altogether. This is despite the fact that
some of them promoted their beliefs and their fiqhi madhhabs. This is
aan example of the fair-mindedness of Ahl as-Sunnah towards those who
differ from them.
Ustaadh Sayyid Qutb is not excluded from this fair-mindedness of Ahl
as-Sunnah. Hence we seethe leaders of Ahl as-Sunnah in our own time
quoting from those parts of his books that are in accordance with the
beliefs and methodology of Ahl as-Sunnah. For example:
1.
Shaykh Muhammad Naasir ad-Deen al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on
him) quoted nearly three pages from him in the introduction to his
book Mukhtasar al-'Aluw, starting with the words: "The great ustaadh
Sayyid Qutb (may Allah have mercy on him)…" Merely quoting from himis
not regarded as praising him; rather the praise comes in the words
with which Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) spoke of
him: "ustaadh", "great", "mayAllah have mercy on him".
2.
Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) narrated four
quotations from him in his book at-Tahqeeqaat al-Mardiyyah
fi'l-Mabaahith al-Faradiyyah, pp. 21-24.
Secondly:
Our scholars learned fair-mindedness from the teachings of Islam and
they taught that to others, preaching the importance of this attitude.
It is only fair to say that we should not shun the writings of Sayyid
Qutb altogether; however it is also a religious duty to highlight the
mistakes that he made so that others who read his words will not be
confused by those mistakes. But this is not limited only to Sayyid
Qutb; rather it also applies to anyone who follows the path of Ahl
as-Sunnah. Our scholars warned against following anyone in matters
that he got wrong. The scholars of the Standing Committee have issued
many fatwaswarning against the mistakes of some who belong to Ahl
as-Sunnah,stating that they made mistakes in the way theyunderstood
some Islamicbeliefs.
But what is very strange is what we see on the part of some of those
who belong to Ahl as-Sunnah, who widely quote the criticisms made by
some leading scholars of the writings of Sayyid Qutb, whilst ignoring
what those scholars and imams said about the mistakes of their own
shaykhs! So they accept what the scholars say about some people but
not others. Whoever wants to see an example of following whims and
desires, this is a perfect example.
There follow some comments by the scholars about the writings of
Sayyid Qutb; they all have one thing in common, which is that we may
accept what is sound and correct and we should reject what is unsound
and incorrect; this is not only applicable to the books of Sayyid
Qutb.
1.
Shaykh Muhammad Naasir ad-Deen al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The man wrote a book called al-'Adaalah al-Ijtimaa'iyyah (Social
Justice) which is worthless, but his book Ma'aalim 'ala at-Tareeq
(Milestones) contains some very valuable ideas.
Tape no. 784, from Silsilat al-Huda wa'n-Noor.
On the same tape, Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
I believe that the man is not a scholar, but he spoke words of truth –
especially when he was in prison – that sound as if they were
inspired. End quote.
He also said:
The man is not a scholar but he wrote some words that shine with
guidance and reflect knowledge, such as the phrase "manhaj hayaat (a
way of life)". I believe this concept was adopted by many of our
Salafi brothers, that "Laailaaha ill-Allah is a way of life". This is
what I have to say about him. End quote.
2.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him)
was asked:
Sayyid Qutb is a man who produced some ideas that spread widely in the
Muslim world, but people differed concerning him; some glorified him
and some criticised him very harshly. We would like our shaykh to
explain this matter to us and clarify it. What should the Muslim's
attitude be towards this man, because Sayyid Qutb has had an impact on
the Muslim world and he hasleft a legacy of books and writings, and we
would like you to give ussome clarification.
He replied:
I do not think that there should be any argument or dispute among the
Muslim youth concerning any specific man, whether it is Sayyid Qutb or
someone other than Sayyid Qutb. Rather the dispute should be about the
Islamic ruling. For example, we should examine a statement made by
Sayyid Qutb or by someone else, and say: is this opinion correct or
incorrect? We should examine it and if it is correct we should accept
it, and if it is incorrect we should reject it. But for the youth to
argue and dispute about accepting or rejecting a specific person, this
is wrong and it is a grave mistake.
Sayyid Qutb is not infallible; scholars who are superior to him are
not infallible, and neither are scholars whoare inferior to him. The
opinions of any person may be accepted or rejected, except that of the
Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him and upon
his family): his words must be accepted in all cases.
Hence I tell the youth that their arguments and disagreements should
not be focused on a specific person, no matter who he is, because if
their disputes are like that, they may end up rejecting something that
is sound and correct that was said by this person, or they may end up
supporting something that is unsound and incorrect that was said by
this person. This is a very serious danger, because if a man blindly
supports one person andblindly goes against another, he may attribute
to the one whom he opposes wordsthat he never said, or he may
misinterpret what he said, and so on, or he may deny what he said or
try to find a way to interpret his unsound statements in a way that
makes them sound good.
So I say: we should not speak about people and we should not blindly
follow people. Sayyid Qutb has passed on and Allah will judge him,
andthis is true of other scholars.
As for what is sound and correct, it must be accepted whether it comes
from Sayyid Qutb or from anyone else. Andwhat is unsound and incorrect
must be rejected, whether it comes from Sayyid Qutb or anyone else. We
must beware of any unsound and incorrect ideas that are written or
heard, no matter who they come from.
This is my advice to my brothers. The discussion and dispute, and the
matter of accepting or rejecting, should not revolve around any
specific person.
With regard to Sayyid Qutb, my opinion concerning his legacy is that
it is like the legacy of anyone else; it contains both sound
andunsound elements, because no one is infallible. But his legacy is
not like that of, for example, Shaykh Muhammad Naasir ad-Deen
al-Albaani; the difference between them is like that between heaven
and earth. The legacy of the former consists of general, educated,
literary works; he did not have the deeper knowledge that Shaykh
al-Albaani had.
Hence I think that what is sound should be accepted from anyone and
what is unsound should be rejected from anyone. We should not –and
indeed it is not permissible for us – to focus disputes and arguments
on individuals, and to be divided or united on the basis of
individuals.
And Allah knows best.

Islamic Stories, - Hazrat Hassan Al-Basri (ra) Impresses an Unbelieving Neighbour

Hazrat Hasan al-Basri once fell sick. His neighbour, an unbeliever,
came to pay him a visit.
"O Imam," he exclaimed,"I detect a bad smell." The Imam told him it
was caused by illness, but the neighbour insisted: "That is not the
odor of sickness. It is a lavatory smell. For the love of Allah, tell
me what it is!"
He had not noticed that sewage was leaking from his house into that of the Imam.
When the neighbour pressed him, the Imam finally said: "For some
months your drain has been seeping through toour side. I tried to fix
it, but without success."
His neighbour asked why he had not told himbefore, but the venerable
Imam said: "I might have offended you."
The unbeliever was so impressed by this ethicalrefinement that he was
ennobled with True Faith, for he recognized the Imam's morality as a
ray of Islam. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

Islamic Stories, - The young man who learned what cannot be taught

Once upon a time, there lived in Basra an old man whose only
occupation was caring for and loving his only son who was a handsome
young man. The old man invested all his money on his son's education.
The young man went away for a few years and acquired an education at a
well known university under the great scholars of thatage.
The day had arrived for the son to return from his studies and the old
man waited at the door for his son. When the son came and met his
father, the old man looked into his eyes and felt great
disappointment. "What have you learnt my son?" he asked, "I have
learnt everything there was to be learnt, father",he said. "But have
you learnt what cannot be taught?" asked the father. "Go, my son and
learn what cannot be taught", said the old man.
The young man went back to his master and asked him to teach him what
cannot be taught.
"Go away to the mountains with these four hundred sheep and come back
when they are one thousand", said the master.
The young man went to the mountains and became a shepherd. There for
the first time he encountered a silence. He had no one totalk to. The
sheep did not understand his language. In his desperation, he would
talk to them but they would look back at him as if to say he was
stupid. Slowly but surely he began to forget all his worldly
knowledge, his ego, his pride and hebecame quiet like the sheep and
great wisdomand humility came to him.
At the end of two years when the number of sheep had grown to
onethousand, he returned to his master and fell on his feet. "Now you
have learnt what cannot be taught," said the master.
NB. It is interesting to note that the Nabis of Allah Taala (Alayhimus
salaam) at some time in their lives, generally before Nubuwwat, tended
to sheep, and other such animals.
