How does an expensive masjid bring about conversions? Islam is impressive by message, not by grandeur of mosques. When Islam was alive and well, the K'aba was a small stone house, so was Masjid Nabvi--yet the Buyut al-abyad of Rome and Persia fell before them.

Please stop these self glorifying emails. As I have mentioned before.. Imams spend years and years from their lives trying to become Imams while a few of you think you can become Imams by taking a training course. May Allah save us from the time he replaces real scholars with training program Imams.

Re: Bismillah [IslamCity] Article: UAE Imams Training Program Partipants Vist Sheik Zyed Masjid / Tomb
Graves! If you commit 'shirk' all your works will be rendered vain and you will be among the losers. Therefore, you should worship Allah Alone, and be among His grateful servants. All the Prophets of Allah who were ever sent warned the believers to beware of this heinous sin of 'shirk', which renders all the deeds of man worthless in the sight of Allah Subhanah. Thus it becomes our duty to recognize and be aware of 'shirk' and all the manifestations of this horrendous and grave sin. Allow me to just give you an example of what constitutes 'shirk': 1. Bowing down to anybody or anything other than Allah is shirk. 2. Bowing down to the Syedna is shirk. 3. Bowing down to the graves of his ancestors is shirk. 4. Bowing down to the graves of even the Prophet (saws), Hadrat Ali (saws), Hadrat Fatema (saws), etc. is shirk. 5. Believing that the dead people in their graves can hear and answer our duas is shirk. 6. Believing that anybody other than Allah can do us any harm is shirk. 7. Believing that anybody other than Allah can bring us some good is shirk. 8. Believing that anybody other than Allah knows everything is shirk. 9. Believing that anybody other than Allah sees everything is shirk. 10. Believing that anybody other than Allah listens to our prayers is shirk. 11. Believing that anybody other than Allah can help us is shirk. 12. Believing that anybody other than Allah can guide us is shirk. 13. Believing that anybody can influence Allah to give us health is shirk. 14. Believing that anybody can influence Allah to give us wealth is shirk. 15. Believing that anybody can influence Allah to give us children is shirk. 16. Believing that anybody can influence Allah to help us is shirk. 17. Believing that anybody has any power with Allah is shirk. 18. Believing that anybody has any power with Allah to take us out of the fire of Hell is shirk. 19. Believing that anybody has any power with Allah on the Day of Judgement is shirk. 20. Believing that anybody has any power to change the decision of Allah is shirk. 21. To worship anybody with Allah is shirk. 22. To invoke anybody with Allah is shirk. 23. To raise anybody to the rank of Allah is shirk. 24. To give any of Allah's attributes to anybody else is shirk. 25. To believe that anybody has the power to bring about any miracles on his own is shirk. 26. To go to somebody to take our message or supplication to Allah is shirk. To associate other beings or things with Allah is 'shirk'! To share any of the noble Attributes of Allah with anyone is 'shirk'!To invoke or worship anyone or anything with Allah is 'shirk'! The Glorious Quran is the Book which absolutely details each and every manifestation of shirk and makes the readers aware of what exactly is this most hated of crimes in the sight of Allah. It also details on how one has to avoid all the acts of shirk, and believe and invoke and worship the Lord of the Worlds, Allah Subhanah Alone. May Allah swt Guide us all towards the right path.
