A Message from Allah 2-83-2
Al Hamdu Lillah the most Gracious, Al Hamdu Lillah who gave
us life and time to worship, Al Hamdu Lillah for the love He gave
and made us witnesses. It is so sad how many pray today, reading Al
Fateha at least 17 times a day, yet know little or nothing about the
meaning of the words Allah gave us in this wonderful Sourah and
gift. For those who wish to have a free copy of my small book about
Al Fateha, please send me a message to my mail box, once you receive
this 50 plus pages explaining Al Fateha, can you please help me
reach millions of Muslims with this little knowledge Allah gave us?
Come see Al Fateha better than any other time ever, come let me show
you the beautiful words of Allah.
Dear readers, again I warn you, if you dared to bring a message
titled: A Message from Allah, please make sure you speak about the
words of Allah, straight from the Noble Qur'aan only. As for today,
we are still speaking about Ayah 2:83 that says:
æÅÐ ÃÎÐäÇ ãíËÇÞ Èäí ÅÓÑÇÆíá áÇ ÊÚÈÏæÇ ÅáÇ Çááå
"We made a Covenant/Promise with the children of Israel (Jacob), do
not worship anything besides Allah". We said how Allah had a
covenant with the Jews, and they promised not to worship anyone
besides Allah that is. Then we asked the question: what is the
meaning of the word Worship, also gave you a long time to answer on
your own. Now I know how some of you did very well, others didn't
even try to think about it, and some did not know what to say.
Therefore, what is coming up next is assurance for those who did
well, reminder for those who did not know what to bring for a
definition to Worship, and a teaching moment for those who wish to
learn. We are not putting you into a test, bottom line is: we are
trying to push some of you to work hard and make Qur'aan their
priority if at all possible.
Worship, what do we know of the meaning? Some think how
when we say: Abid: ÚÈÏ, this means slave. Yes, for some, it is, but
for others, it is not, why? Some people are Kafir (Disbelievers in
the Ayahs of Allah), some of us are Muslims, but those have actions
closer to Kufur (Disbelieving) than Eiman (Believing), and some of
us do what they say, meaning: when they say: La Ilaha Illa Allah,
they believe and apply it through worship, when they say they
believe in what Allah said, then they apply that by studying and
reading Qur'aan on regular bases, when they say they believe in
Muhammad and the prophets PBU all of them, then this means they will
follow their footsteps and how they used to worship. My friend,
beware, Allah despises those who say, and do not do according to
this (61:2).
As for those who do not believe in Allah or His Ayahs
(verses of the Qur'aan), those are Abid in the sense of slave,
humiliated, miserable, and the worst example. Of course we cannot
say: we are the servants unto Allah, or apply it to any group of
people, Why? My friend, please ask yourself: what service can you
provide Allah with, don't you know how Allah is needed by all, yet
He needs no one at all? My friend, Allah served us with everything
needed, and could not be served in anyway, so please stop saying:
you are a Servant. How did this idea of servant invaded Islam, where
it came from? See, Christians call their prayers and Sermons by:
Service, they think by worshiping God they are doing a service to
God that is how much they understand and comprehend. But we Muslims
do know how worship being a service to ourselves, in doing so, we
are seekers of Heaven.
Yes, those ignorant who do not believe in Allah, also those Muslims
who believe yet in their actions are closer to non believers, those
are slaves, so humiliated, and worse than miserable. But as for
those who believe and follow the orders of Allah in the Noble
Qur'aan, those are in no way slaves, but are the worshipers. See,
the word Abid in Arabic may mean: Slave, and may mean: Worshiper as
well, ask yourselves: where do you belong my friend, are you a
worshiper, or a slave, as a slave you are good for nothing?
The best worshipers among us are those who can utilize their
privilege of listening, the first step is in how to make sure you
will listen when the words of Allah are being recited, by you, or by
others too. By the way, this is also is an order from Allah, Allah
says: when Qur'aan is being recited, pay extra attention and listen
may you too receive blessing and Mercy, also Forgiveness. Listening
is a wonderful quality, and the best of all listening is the one
done for the words of Allah my friend. When we spoke about Ayah 2:3,
we saw how Allah says: and from whatever Blessings we gave them,
they spend. Therefore, we need to spend from the Blessings Allah
gave us, meaning: He gave us eyes, how can we spend, simply by
reading Qur'aan, and looking at the words of Allah, also when we see
what He created from the mountains, and the Universe to praise Him.
Hearing, means to listen to the words of Allah, and get used to
doing it with your hearts and minds, also listening to everything
related. Speech power spending is to read little aloud the Ayahs of
Allah, also read it for others who need to learn correct spelling.
In summary, the best usages of what Blessings Allah gave
us, are the usages done for His sake, also Money as well is a
blessing for some, a curse for the rest. Allah said: from whatever
Blessings we gave them, they spend. Therefore, if you have a good
Health, then are you standing at night crying in His presence, and
praying, when all others are sleeping? Are you with your good Health
helping the blind to cross the road, since Allah gave you good
sight, are you spending from those Blessings for His sake? One of
the most important qualities of Worship, is listening, so please
listen to the words of Allah, and try to apply them to your life if
you will.
Next to hearing the words, worship is all about Thinking,
Reflection, and Knowledge. When we study Worship, we need to think
about it, reflect and ask: why worship is done my friend, also need
to know how proper worship not ignorant one should be, most people
are worshiping the wrong way, and to the wrong Heading. Allah says
in Ayah 30:22: in this are Ayahs for Aalimein (those with
knowledge). Therefore, knowledge also is a priority, for those who
cannot acquire knowledge from the mentally retarded, or the too
young to comprehend, then worship is not an order or an obligation.
Worship is an order to those who can learn, and those who understand
what they are doing. When reading Sourah 1 of Al Fateha, we read:
Rabbul Aalamein, this word is also spelled like: Al Aalama'in,
meaning the two worlds, which are the world of Jinn (Satan), and the
world of mankind. This world is also spelled like: Al Aalamein, as
most of us read it in our prayers, still when asked some will say:
it means the universe, and that is not true. This word is also
spelled like: Al Aalimein, or those who have knowledge.
Fine, Ayah 83 warns us that we should worship only Allah,
no one else. What is proper worship for Allah is all about, how it
should be? Now in looking at the majority of Muslims, Al Hamdu
Lillah, they are in a very miserable state, most of them do not
worship Allah, or even care, especially the young who feel under the
temptation of the West. Now, let us not speak about those, let us
speak about others, those who pray. Looking at Muslims who pray, we
see how they are divided, some pray only on Friday, others pray
occasionally, some pray daily but not the full five times, some pray
the five times but absent minded, and no concentration. The
percentage of those who pray properly among us Muslims is so
minimal, I am even ashamed to start guessing how many are they, or
what is their percentage.
See, different parts of the world dictates different times
for prayer as well, like at the UAE, prayer is done one hour after
Saudi, half an hour before Iran, and one full hour behind Pakistan,
which gave me times without a number to watch prayer done on TV from
Egypt for instance which is two hours behind UAE for example. I look
at people praying, I try with my limitations to read the minds, and
what I see is so shocking. During the Friday Speech (Khutbah), some
are praying and do not pay attention to what is said as if Friday is
like any other day, some even sleep as if this is the time for a
good Nap, or even go to deep sleeping and snoring pushing others to
waking him, I see fathers so ignorant brining their little children
to play in the Masjid without teaching them respect to the house,
and I see a lot more.
We are in a dangerous shape, we come to Masjids not led by
the words of Allah, but by what our Mazhab teaches, which is so
different from those around us, and creates hate among the one body,
and destroys the nation. Let us speak more next time about worship.
