ISLAMIC ARTICLE ~ Lead the Way

Do you want to see something different in the world? Show it. Do you
want to see things moving in a better direction? Then get stepping and
walk it, and I guarantee that others will follow, because they have
seen the problems as well, and they arewaiting for someone to lead the
way.
Do you want to be a better Muslim, father, mother, son, daughter,
sibling, or friend? Then be it. Now is the moment. The past is
prologue leading to this moment.
Are you waiting for someone elseto show love and kindness first? Are
you waiting for someone elseto be vulnerable or brave, to put himself
out there, to take the first step, to show the way? There is no
someone else. You are the someone else. You… are… someone.
Le'ts open ourselves to faith, love and kindness. Let's change the way
we move in the world, the way we behave with Allah, the way we treat
people, the way we interact with every person. Let us become
testaments to the power of these transformative behaviors, not through
our words but through our actions. Let's express a new sincerity from
our hearts and walk through the world like believers. Let's become
people of Allah, people of Jannah (Paradise), people of imaan (faith),
love and mercy

One Humble Request, Please sharethis message so every one you know can benefit!
Narrated Shaddad bin Aus:
The Prophet said "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from
Allah is: 'Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, Anta Khalaqtani wa
ana abduka, wa ana 'ala ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, A'udhu bika min
Sharri ma sana'tu, abu'u Laka bini'matika 'alaiya, wa Abu Laka
bidhanbi faghfirli innahu la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa anta." The
Prophet added. "If somebodyrecites it during the day with firmfaith in
it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will befrom the
people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm
faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people
of Paradise."

ISLAMIC ARTICLE ~ Hadees ~ Is it permissable to lie to kaafirs?.

Praise be to Allaah.
Lying is a reprehensible and blameworthy characteristic and is not
appropriate whether in earnest or in jest. There is no concession
allowing it except in cases of necessity in order to achieve some
definite shar'i interest that cannot be attained by telling the truth,
or to ward off serious harm that cannot be warded off by telling the
truth. Ifit is possible to avoid lying and to tell the truth in order
to obtaininterests or ward off harm, then there is no concession that
allows lying.
Ahmad (17) narrated that Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)
said: O people, beware of lying, for lying is contrary to faith.
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani. See ad-Da'eefah, 5/414
It is narrated in a saheeh report from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqaas (may Allah
be pleased with him) that he said: The Muslim could develop all sorts
of characteristics except treachery and lying.
And it is narrated in a saheeh report from Ibn Mas'ood (may Allah be
pleased with him) that he said: Lying is never appropriate in earnest
or in jest. Then he recited the words of Allah (interpretation of the
meaning): "Fear Allah, and be with those who are true (in words and
deeds)." [at-Tawbah 9:119].
Narrated by Ibn Abi Shaybah, 8/403
Muslim (2605) narrated from Umm Kalthoom bint 'Uqbah that she heard
the Messenger of Allah(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
"He is not a liar who reconciles between people, saying good things
and conveying good things."
Ibn Shihaab – one of the narrators of the hadeeth – said: Idid not
hear of any concession being granted concerning anything that people
call lies except in three cases: War, reconciling among people, and
what a man says to his wife or a woman says to her husband.
Imam Ahmad (26731) narrated that Umm Kalthoom bint 'Uqbah said: I
never heard the Messenger of Allah grant a concession allowing any
kind of lying except in three cases: a man who says something
intending thereby to bring aboutreconciliation; a man who says
something at the time of war; and a man talking to his wife or a woman
talking to her husband.
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in as-Saheehah, 545
The concession is granted only in these three cases and similar cases.
In all other cases the lawgiver has not allowed any concession, so
lying remains forbidden.
Indeed what the Muslim should do, especially Muslims who live in
kaafir societies, is to be keen to be honest and to avoid lying to the
kaafirs, even more keen than he is to avoid lying to the believers,
because his keenness to be honest and to connect that to the teachings
of his religion, isa kind of practical da'wah to the non-Muslims. If
they see the noble characteristics that are promoted by Islam, that
may lead to some of them entering the religion of Allah.
But if the Muslim has the image of being a liar or treacherous or
other blameworthy characteristics in front of non-Muslims, that will
put him off the religion and make him resent its followers.
