Introduction

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


All praises are for Allah, Lord of all worlds. Who created all things in pairs, fashioned them as He willed and guided them. Knower of the hidden and unseen, provider of sustenance, maintainer of universe. One Who knows the secrets of hearts and sees even crawling of a black ant on a black rock in darkest of nights. He has no partner nor did He produce any offspring, glorified is He from the lies attributed to Him. To Him belongs the dominions of heavens and earths and all submit to Him willingly or unwillingly. Originator of heavens and earth; when He decrees an affair, He just says "Be" and it is.

He is the One Who created humans and jinns and gave them hearing and sight; and showed them two pathways - of gratitude and ingratitude. One who chooses to be grateful servant, is promised great reward and one who chooses to be ungrateful is promised painful torment. He is the One Who sent messengers guiding to His straight path and making it clear, so much so that it's night is bright like it's day. There is none who deviates from it except that he will be destroyed. I openly testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad صل الله عليه و سلم is His servant and His final messenger.

As to what follows, I intend to consolidate what I learn in this blog, so that i can review them later and perhaps refine or correct them and share with anyone who might be interested. Whatever good is found in this is from Allah alone; as for errors then it is from me. May Allah make all of it beneficial for me and for whoever reads it.. Surely, He listens and responds to His servants.

O Devotee of The Christ!

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم O devotee of The Christ! We have question, (1) seeking answer from one with comprehension. ** أَعُبَّادَ المَسِيحِ لَنَا سُؤَالٌ...نُرِيدُ جَوَابَهُ مِمَّنْ وَعَاهُ When God died, by deeds of a nation... they put him to death! What God is this, then? إذا ماتَ الإِلهُ بِصُنْع قومٍ...أمَاتُوهُ فَما هذَا الإِلهُ؟ Did it please him, with him, what they had done? If they did please him, for them is good news, then! وَهَلْ أرضاه ما نَالُوهُ مِنْهُ؟...فبُشْرَاهمْ إذا نالُوا رِضَاهُ And if they displeased him, with what they had done... their might prevailed over his, then?! وَإِنْ سَخِطَ الذِي فَعَلُوهُ فيه...فَقُوَّتُهُمْ إِذًا أوْهَتْ قُوَاهُ The Listener, The Answer-er of invocation... Without God, did continue the creation? وَهَلْ بَقِيَ الوُجُودُ بِلَا إِلهٍ...سَمِيعٍ يَسْتَجِيبُ لِمَنْ دَعَاهُ؟ Did cease...

Poem - What You Sanctify?

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم With clay you made it, As you will you shaped it, With garments you adorned it, With incense you perfumed it, With foods you served it, Will it ever eat it? With chants you invoke it, Will it even hear it? With care you protect it, Lest you break it! But if it does you replace it! And then you worship it?! Tell me why you sanctify it? With clay He made you, How He willed He shaped you, With garments He adorned you, Nose to smell - He gave you, With foods He nourished you, Does He need food from you?! When in distress He relieved you, When you whispered He heard you, With His mercy He protected you, When He wills He will replace you! That's Allaah - One who created you! Him alone, then worship! Will you?

A brief history of gods

By Fahad Iqbal
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم و قالوا لا تذرون آلهتكم و لا تذرون ودا و لا سواء لا يغوث و يعوق و نسرا... And they said 'Never leave your gods, and never leave Wadd , nor Suwa' nor Yaghooth or Ya'ooq or Nasr '... (Al-Qur'an 71: 23) Shortly after the dawn of humanity, people were already affirming their love and allegiance to their gods, when Nooh (1) عليه السلام came to them asking to shun these gods. They enumerated their gods as an act of defiance - Wadd, Suwa', Yaghooth, Ya'ooq and Nasr . These were names of noble men who had lived before them, known for piety, loved by people and had following among them. When they died, Satan advised people to make their images and statues to remind themselves of their goodness and to motivate themselves to be like them. As generations passed, purpose of these images and statues was forgotten and the knowledge of what these noble men had preached faded away. At this point, Satan inspired people saying that ...
