of Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him)

…
The Decision is for
Allah only
… (Al_Quraan_006.057)
And if he (the messenger) had fabricated against Us some of the sayings, We would certainly have seized him by the right hand, Then We would certainly have cut off his aorta (life-artery). (Al_Quraan_069.044-046)
Duaa
for Discussing the Critical Issues:
After all we are human being and may be wrong on some point, so we need to make a very special Duaa:
O
Allah! Guide us and help us. If I am wrong, O Allah! Correct me. If
others are
wrong, O Allah correct them. If we all are wrong, O Allah correct all
of us. AMEEN.

Laughing Stock of Allah:
… Make
not the revelations
of Allah a Laughing Stock (by your behavior), but remember
Allah’s grace
upon you and that which He hath revealed unto you of the Scripture and
of
wisdom, whereby He doth exhort you. Observe your duty to Allah and know
that
Allah is Aware of all things. (Al_Quraan_002.231)
Believing
on Some Ayaat
while Rejecting
others:
Then
is it the only part of the book you believe (practice) in, and do you reject the rest of it? But what
is the reward for those among
you who behave (practice) like this but disgrace in this life? And
on the Day of Judgment they shall be
consigned to the most
grievous
penalty. For Allah is not
unmindful of what you do. (Al_Quraan_002.085)
Looking for
another Religion:
Do they seek for other than the religion of
Allah?
While all creatures in the heavens and on earth have, willing or
unwilling,
bowed to his will (accepted Islaam), and to him shall they be brought
back (Al_Quraan_003.083)
Journey by
Night:
Glory
to (Allah) who did take his
servant for a journey from the sacred Masjid to the farthest Masjid,
whose
precincts we did bless, in order that we might show him some of our
Signs: for
he is the one who heareth and seeth (all things). (Al_Quraan_017.01)
Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) was not able to
recite any Book
before
Quraan:
And thou wast
not (able) to recite a
Book before this (Book came), nor art thou (Able) to transcribe it with
thy
right hand: In that case, indeed, would the talkers of vanities have
doubted. (Al_Quraan_029.048)
Reason for
sending Quraan:
A Book (Quraan) revealed unto
thee, so let thy heart be oppressed no more by any difficulty on that
account,
that with it (the Quraan) thou mightest warn (the erring) and teach the
Believers. (Al_Quraan_007.002)
Duty of
Rasool Allah (Peace Be Upon Him):
…It
is Thy duty ONLY to convey the
message (unto them as is). (Al_Quraan_003.020)
O
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) We have sent thee as a Witness, a Bearer of
Glad Tidings,
and a
Warner, And as one who invites to Allah’s (Grace) by His
leave, and as a Lamp
spreading Light. (Al_Quraan_033.045
– 046)
Say:
It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right
conduct. (Al_Quraan_072.021)
We sent not a Messenger, but to
be
obeyed, in accordance with the Will of Allah … (Al_Quraan_004.064)
O Messenger! Proclaim (all) the
(Message as is) which hath been sent to thee from the Lord. If thou
didst not,
thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His Mission. And Allah
will
defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guideth not those
who
reject Faith.
(Al_Quraan_005.067)
We sent not a Messenger, but to
be
obeyed, in accordance with the Will of Allah … (Al_Quraan_004.064)
And if he (the messenger) had fabricated against Us some of the sayings, We would certainly have seized him by the right hand, Then We would certainly have cut off his aorta (life-artery). (Al_Quraan_069.044-046)
But
if they turn away, thy duty is only to preach the clear message. (Al_Quraan_016.082)
Halaal
and Haraam:
Muslim
Never makes Halaal as Haraam and
vise versa:
O ye believe!
Forbid not the good
things, which Allah hath made lawful for you, and transgress
not. Lo!
Allah loveth not transgressors.
(Al_Quraan_005.087)
Say: Who hath forbidden
the adornment of Allah, which He hath
brought forth for His bondmen, and good
things of His providing?… (Al_Quraan_007.032)
O Prophet (Peace Be
Upon Him)! Why
holdest
thou to be forbidden that which Allah has made lawful to thee? Thou
seekest to please thy consorts. But Allah is Oft-Forgiving. Most
Merciful. Allah has already
ordained for you, (O men), the dissolution of your oaths (in some
cases): and Allah is your Protector, and He is Full of Knowledge and
Wisdom. (Al_Quraan_066.001 – 002)
Rasool
Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) did
NOT had
Authority
to change any of the Ayaat of Quraan:
But when our
Clear Signs are
rehearsed unto them, those who rest not their hope on their meeting
with Us, say:
bring us reading other than this, or change this, say: it is not for me,
of my own accord, to change it: I follow
Naught but what is
revealed unto me (as is): if I were to disobey my Lord, I should myself
fear
the Penalty of a great day (to come). Say: If Allah had to willed, I
should not
have rehearsed it to you, nor would he have made it known to you. A
whole
lifetime before this have I tarried amongst you: will ye not then
understand? (Al_Quraan_010.015
– 016)
And recite (and
teach) what has been
revealed to thee of the Book of thy Lord: none can change his
words, and none
wilt thou find as a refuge other than him. (Al_Quraan_018.027)
Allah Warned Rasool Allah
(Peace Be Upon Him) not to change Halaal to Haraam
etc and break the oath:
O Prophet (Peace
Be Upon Him)!
Why holdest thou to be
forbidden that which Allah has made lawful to thee? Thou
seekest to please thy consorts. But Allah is Oft-Forgiving. Most
Merciful. Allah has already
ordained for you, (O men), the dissolution of your oaths (in some
cases): and Allah is your Protector, and He is Full of Knowledge and
Wisdom. (Al_Quraan_066.001 – 002)
(So Rasool
Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) cannot change
Halaal
to Haraam, or Haraam to Halaal, or Tougher Laws to MORE Tougher
Laws,
or Tougher Laws to EASIER Laws)
Allah’s Word doesn’t Change:
…
No Change can there be in the words of
Allah …
(Al_Quraan_010.064)
Not a single Messenger can bring a Sign by his own
without the
Help of Allah:
… And it was never the part of a
messenger to bring a Sign except as Allah permitted (or commanded
… (Al_Quraan_013.038)
Rasool
Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) was not able to Make the Any Dead People
Listen: Can
you make any?
So verily thou canst not
make the dead to hear, nor canst thou
make the deaf to hear the call, when
they show their backs and turn away. Nor canst thou lead back the blind
from
their straying: only those wilt thou make to hear, who believe in Our
Signs and
submit (their wills in Islaam). (Al_Quraan_030.052
– 053)
Knowledge
of Future is with Allah only:
Messenger did
not
know when & where he would die:
Then, when We
decreed (Solomon’s {Peace Be Upon Him}) death, nothing showed them
his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept
(slowly) gnawing away at his staff: so when he fell down, the Jinns saw
plainly
that if they had known the unseen, they would Not have tarried in the
humiliating Penalty (of their Task). (Al_Quraan_034.014)
Verily the
knowledge of the Hour is
with Allah (Alone). It is He Who knows rain, and He Who knows what is
in the
wombs. Nor does any one (including Messengers) know what it
is that he will earn
on tomorrow: nor does any one
(including Messengers) know in what land he is to
die. Verily with
Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted
(with all things). (Al_Quraan_031.034)
Men ask thee
concerning the Hour: say, The knowledge thereof
is with Allah (alone): and what will
make thee understand? Perchance the
Hour is nigh. (Al_Quraan_033.063)
Say (O Muhammad
(Peace Be Upon Him), to the disbelievers): I say not
unto you (that) I possess the treasures of
Allah, nor that I have knowledge
of the Unseen;
and I say not unto you: Lo! I am an angel. I follow only that which is
inspired
in me. Say: Are
the blind man and the seer equal?
Will ye not then take
thought? [Al_Quraan_006.050]
Say (O Muhammad
(Peace Be Upon Him): I have no
power over any good or harm to my self except as
Allah willeth. If
I had knowledge
of the Unseen, I should have
multiplied all good
and no evil should
have touched me: I am but a Warner, and a
bringer of glad tidings to those who
have Faith. [Al_Quraan_007.188]
To get
Success Leave the Fore-tell behind and Start Helping Allah:
O ye who believe!
Strong Drink (Intoxicants), gambling, idols and divining arrows are only
an infamy of Satan’s
handiwork. Leave it aside in order
that ye may succeed.
[Al_Quraan_005.090]
Help
Allah to get Help from Allah:
O
ye who believe! If ye will Help Allah,
He will Help you, and plant your feet firmly.
(Al_Quraan_047.007)
Allah’s
Favor
has Already been Completed:
This day, I have Perfected
your Religion
for you and Completed
my Favor
unto you, and have chosen for you as Religion
Al-Islaam. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by
will, to sin: (for him)
lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. [Al_Quraan_005.003]
(Allah’s
Favor has already
been completed on us, so no new
miracle may happen)

Some people asked
Allah's
Apostle (Peace Be Upon Him) about the fore-tellers.
He said. -They are nothing."
They said, O Allah's Apostle (Peace Be Upon Him)! Sometimes
they tell us of a thing which turns
out to be true."
Allah's Apostle (Peace Be Upon Him) said, "A Jinn
snatches that true word and pours it into the
ear of his friend (the foreteller) (as one puts something into a
bottle). The foreteller
then mixes
with that word one hundred lies."
Narrated
by
Ayesha (Radi Allah Ta'lah Anha); Sahih Bukhari transmitted it. Vol 7:
#657 of
Sahih Bukhari.
Allah's Apostle
(Peace Be Upon Him) said,
"Whoever comes to fortune-tellers,
and ask him about something, his prayer
is NOT
accepted
for forty
nights."
Narrated
by
Hafsah (Radi Allah Ta'lah Anha); Muslim transmitted it. Vol 2: #4391 of
Mishkat

Allah's Apostle
(Peace Be Upon Him) said,
"Whoever learns astrology, learns a branch
of sorcery.
He adds what he likes.

Allah's Apostle
(Peace Be Upon Him) said,
"Whoever acquires a branch of astrology for a purpose other than that
for
which Allah mentioned, has indeed acquired a branch of sorcery, An astrologer is
a sooth-sayer and a sooth-sayer
is sorcerer and a sorcerer is an unbeliever."
Narrated by Ibn Abbas (Radi Allah Ta'lah Anhu);
Razin transmitted it.
Vol 2: #4399 of Mishkat al-Masabih.
He who presumes
that he would inform about what was going to happen
tomorrow
fabricates
the greatest lie
against Allah. And Allah says “Say thou
[Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)]: None in the heavens and the earth
knoweth the UNSEEN
except
Allah”.
Narrated by Ayesha (Radi Allah Ta'lah
Anha); Vol 1:
#0337 of Sahih Muslim.
ECLIPSE is not a sign of someone’s
death or birth etc, just offer additional prayers at the time of
Eclipse:
The sun ECLIPSED in
the lifetime of Allah's Apostle
(Peace Be Upon Him) on the day when (his son) Ibrahim died. So the
people said that
the sun
had ECLIPSED because of the death of Ibrahim. Allah's Apostle (Peace Be
Upon Him)
said,
"The sun and the moon do not ECLIPSE because of the death or life (i.e.
birth) of someone. When you see the ECLIPSE pray and invoke Allah."
Narrated by Al-Mughira
bin Shu’ba; Vol-002, Book-018, Hadith-0153 of Sahih
Bukhari.
The Prophet (Peace
Be Upon Him)
said, “The sun and the moon do not
ECLIPSE because of the death or life (i.e. birth) of someone but they
are two
signs amongst the signs of Allah. When you see them offer the
prayers.”
Narrated
by Ibn Umar; Vol-002, Book-018,
Hadith-0152 of Sahih Bukhari.
A total
lunar eclipse occurs when the
Earth gets directly between the Sun and the Moon.
A
solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun
and casts
its shadow on Earth’s surface.
In
the light of above-mentioned Hadiths, HOW come Rasool Allah
(Peace Be Upon Him) did Foretell about
Imaam Mahdi and Dajjaal?
May be He (Peace Be Upon Him)
didn’t. Not in Quraan and Authentic Hadith.
Knowledge
of Future is with Allah only:
Messenger did
not
know when & where he would die:
Then, when We
decreed (Solomon’s {Peace Be Upon Him}) death, nothing showed them
his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept

Jesus / Isaa (Peace Be Upon
Him)
– Dead or
Alive?
Duaa
for Discussing the Critical Issues:
After all we are human being and may be wrong on some point, so we need to make a very special Duaa:
O
Allah! Guide us and help us. If I am wrong, O Allah! Correct me. If
others are
wrong, O Allah correct them. If we all are wrong, O Allah correct all
of us. AMEEN.
”Rabbi
Zidnee Aailmaa”. (O my Lord! Increase me in knowledge). Ref:
Al_Quraan_020.114
AMEEN.
”Rabbishrah
Lee Sadree Wayassir Lee Amree Wahlul AAuqdatan Min
Lisanee
Yafqahoo Qawlee”. (O my Lord! expand my breast; And ease my
task for me; And
loose the knot from my tongue; So they may understand what I say). Ref:
Al_Quraan_020.025 – 028)
AMEEN.
”Rabbana
Hab Lana Min Azwajina Wathurriyyatina Qurrata aAAyunin WajjAAalna
Lilmuttaqeena
imamaan”. (O our Lord! grant us in our wives and our
offspring the joy of our
eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous). Ref:
Al_Quraan_025.074.
AMEEN.
The
main reason why we don’t understand
the concept and the meaning of Quraan could be as mentioned in the
Quraan as, “
… And yet ye study the Scripture? Will
ye not understand?” (Al_Quraan_002.044).
To
understand
about Jesus / Isaa (Peace Be Upon Him) Dead or Alive we need to do
analysis of the
Ayaat
below:
There
is none (not
a single one)
of the People
of the book (including
1.5 Billion
Muslims) but
must believe in him
(as only
a Messenger
of Allah)
before
his (Jesus Peace Be Upon Him) death.
And on
the Day of Resurrection (NOT
Before),
he (Jesus) will be a witness
against them." (Al_Quraan_004.159)
First Proof:
The
first proof that Jesus / Isaa (Peace Be Upon Him) is NOT Alive is this
Ayaat itself,
since
it says that “on
the Day of Resurrection (NOT
Before), he
(Jesus) will be a witness against them”, if Jesus / Isaa (Peace Be
Upon Him) comes
second time in this
world then he will be witness in the world before the Day of
Resurrection,
which cannot be true according to the above mentioned Ayaat. The
concept of
Quraan cannot be wrong, BUT our pre-assumptions and our believe could
be wrong.
Second Proof:
For
the second proof, we need to understand the meaning of People of the Book (Scripture).
Jews are the People of the Book,
since they believe on
the Torah, which is one of the Book of Allah.
Christian are the People of the Book,
since they believe on
the Injeel (Bible), which is one of the Book of Allah.
Similarly
Muslims
are the People of the Book, since they believe on the Quraan, which is
also one
of the Book of Allah.
This
is also another proof that Jesus / Isaa (Peace Be Upon Him) is not
Alive, since in
the above
Ayaat it is mentioned that “none
(not
a single one) of
the People of the
book (including
1.5 Billion Muslims) but
must believe in him (as only
a Messenger
of Allah) before
his
(Jesus {Peace Be Upon Him}) death“, and
Alhamdulillaah, around 1.5 Billion Muslims around the world believe on
Jesus /
Isaa (Peace Be Upon Him) as Messenger of Allah.
Third Proof:
For the third
proof, Allah said that he will take away
Jesus / Isaa (Peace Be Upon Him) and no where he mentioned that he will
send back
Jesus /
Isaa (Peace Be Upon Him) again for the second time, instead He
mentioned that what
ever we
are arguing about him (Peace Be Upon Him), He will tell us on the day
of Judgement
and NOT
before.
Behold
Allah said: O Jesus / Isaa (Peace Be Upon Him) I will take thee and
raise thee to
myself and
clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make
those who
follow thee superior to those who reject Faith, to
the day of resurrection (not
before):
then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge
between you of the matters wherein ye dispute. (Al_Quraan_003.055)
To get
Success Leave the Fore-tell behind and Start Helping Allah:
O ye who believe!
Strong Drink (Intoxicants), gambling, idols and divining arrows are only
an infamy of Satan’s
handiwork. Leave it aside in order
that ye may succeed.
[Al_Quraan_005.090]
Help Allah to get Help from Allah:
O
ye who believe! If ye will Help Allah,
He will Help you, and plant your feet firmly.
(Al_Quraan_047.007)
Allah’s Favor
has Already been Completed:
This day, I have Perfected
your Religion
for you and Completed
my Favor
unto you, and have chosen for you as Religion
Al-Islaam. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by
will, to sin: (for him)
lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. [Al_Quraan_005.003]
(Allah’s
Favor has already
been completed on us, so no new
miracle may happen)
Islaam
will eventually come to all over the World:
Their intention is to extinguish the
Allah’s light (by blowing) with their mouths, but Allah will complete His light, even
though the Unbelievers may detest (it). [Al_Quraan_061.008]
Don’t waste your time in
Foretelling and just do what Allah
has commanded.
We Already have One living Miracles, The Quraan with us.
Allah’s Favor has already
been completed on us.
