Introduction

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.

Early Muslims between Allah's Ordinance and Societal Pressure

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يا أيها المدثر قم فأنذر و ربك فكبر O you enveloped (in garments)! Arise and warn! And pronounce the greatness of your Lord. (Al-Qur'an 74:1-3) In the city of Makkah surrounded by inhospitable deserts and dry mountains, unappealing to empires, with water and resources in scarcity and ignorance in abundance, rose a Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) calling to worship of the Creator alone and shunning worship of His creation, warning of a severe punishment prepared for the those who reject Allah and His messengers, and giving glad tidings of immense reward to those who worship Allah alone and submit to Him in obedience. Entrusted with the burden of delivering the message to humanity, wherein lied their success and redemption, Muhammad (ﷺ) exerted with all his wealth, energy and self in conveying the message and desired sincerely for people to accept and follow it.

O Devotee of The Christ!

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...

A Poem for Reflection

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم    Climb atop highest mountains, Pierce your sight into the heavens, Expand your vision to the horizons, Dive deep into the darkest oceans,   Tell me now, do you find the Creator in creation? Or can you grasp His grandeur with imagination?   Will you then worship your hand’s creation? Or other beings lower in station? Or pious dead awaiting resurrection?   What is wrong that you don’t reason! Ditch gods created by humans! To your Creator - alone - show devotion!   Follow His messenger sent to all nations, You will be rewarded with eternal dominion, In paradise, reclining high in station, With words of recognition and congratulations, Rivers, fruits, shades - delights beyond imagination, In seats of honor near Lord of creation.
