Ramadan 2012, The 12th Day

Ramadan 2012, The 12th Day

The believers are brothers, so make peace between your brothers and have fear of Allah so that hopefully you will gain mercy. (Surat al-Hujurat, 10)

Do not envy each other, do not bid against each other, do not hate each other, do not turn your backs on each other, and let none of you sell upon the sale of another. Be slaves of Allah, brothers. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim, he does not wrong him, fail to assist him, lie to him nor despise him. (Imam an-Nawawi, The Complete Forty Hadith, p. 122)

Many Muslims fail to attach sufficient important to the global reign of Islam. It really is amazing. They genuinely attach importance to prayer, and the hajj, but not to the global reign of the faith. They do not even consider it important for the faith to spread in the regions where they live. Nor among their own families. Yet this is the greatest religious obligation. The Qur’an talks about this from start to finish. (A9 TV, March 6, 2012)

Muslims Who Desire The Oppression In The World To End Should Seek For The Islamic Union With All Their Hearts

Unity, cooperation, solidarity, friendship, self-sacrifice, support, and similar other qualities are some of the beautiful attributes which are the underlying foundation of the Qur'anic morality. This is stated in many sayings of Our Prophet (saas). One of them reads:

'Believers are like the different parts of a building, each one supporting the other.' Then he demonstrated what he meant by interlocking his fingers. (Hadith of Al-Bukhari and Muslim, Words of the Prophet Muhammad, p. 67)

Allah in many verses of the Qur’an states that believers are guardians of each other. The word "guardian [wali]" means friend, protector, helper and supporter. According to this, fellow Muslims are obligated to acquire each other as friends, defend each other and support each other, because this is a command of Allah to them.



In a verse from Allah, the believers are required to guard one another:

Your friend is only Allah and His Messenger and those who believe: those who perform prayer and give the alms, and bow. (Surat al-Ma’ida, 55)

In the next verse, Allah reveals that the believers befriending and guarding each other would definitely be victorious in the intellectual struggle they wage against the unbelievers:

As for those who make Allah their friend, and His Messenger and those who believe: it is the party of Allah who are victorious! (Surat al-Ma’ida, 56)

From this verse and many more verses of the Qur’an it is understood that when believers love and befriend one another, support each other, they will surely end all evil that the unbelievers have been implementing on believers and will establish good morality on earth ordained by Allah. Obviously, in order to stop injustices, oppressions and wrongdoings against all Muslims in many parts of the world today, they must embrace each other, eliminating the distance between them and form the Islamic Union as soon as possible. Allah informs us in a verse of the environment which will occur when believers do not unite:

Those who disbelieve are the friends and protectors of one another. If you do not act in this way there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption. (Surat al-Anfal, 73)

There is no doubt that no conscientious Muslim fearing Allah would want to undertake the responsibility for the disorder and the oppression that result from their turning their backs on their brothers and sisters and not uniting. However, everyone who does not strive for the unification of Muslims will be responsible for the pain, suffering, oppression and injustice they witness.

Our brothers and sisters who want to stop the persecution should pray as "O Lord, bring about the Islamic Union soon"

All Muslims who love Allah, our Prophet (saas), and their Muslim brothers and sisters, should feel the responsibility and want the Islamic world to be in unity in order to bring peace and security to the millions living in captivity, oppressed, persecuted, subjected to torture, driven from their homes and forced to live in poverty around the globe. In fact, the shortest, the most efficient and accurate way to save our brothers and sisters is to ensure the Islamic Union.

Our brothers and sisters who want the Islamic Union in order to save the Muslim world should pray as “O Lord, bring about the Islamic Union soon,” “establish the Islamic Union now.” Allah answers believers’ prayers. Our brothers and sisters who pray this beautiful prayer will soon see that their prayers come true inshaAllah. Persistently engaged in this prayer and acting accordingly, believers will no doubt be greatly rewarded.

Sectarian fighting must end; the differences should not be seen as justification for separation.

The fact that people who believe in the same Allah, the same books, the same prophets and who pray turning towards the same Holy Kaaba are separated and oppose each other to the point of animosity, is a corruption that has occured with the satan’s indoctrination. This corruption must be stopped. Alawi, Sunni, Shia, Wahhabi, Jafari and members of other sects, must realize that they are all brothers and sisters in religion and hear the cries of the Muslims who are tortured, driven from their homes, murdered and mutilated and act immediately not to not waste any more time than they already have. After all, it should be borne in mind that to unite and avoid separation, is a command of Allah has enjoined on us. To fulfill Allah’s command without delay is clearly the most apt behavior to earn the approval of Allah.

The Invlidity Of The Claim That The Idea That Whales Evolved From Bears Did Not Originate With Darwin

Since they are unable to account for a mammal that lives in the sea, Darwinists are unable to invent a scenario that might account for the existence of the whale. They merely make do with claiming that a land-dwelling life form returned to the sea. Darwin claimed that whales evolved from bears hunting small insects on dry land. But Celal Şengör rejected this embarrassing claim on Darwin’s behalf, saying that no such thing had ever appeared in any edition of Darwin’s book. But the fact is that in the first, 1865 edition of his The Origin of Species, Darwin wrote: 

"In North America the black bear was seen ... swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."(The Origin of Species, 1st edition, chapter 6, p. 184)

This passage was removed from later editions of the book, but he regretted its removal. In one of his letters he said:

“I still maintain that there is no special difficulty in a bear's mouth being enlarged to any degree useful to its changing habits.” (More Letters of Charles Darwin, Francis Darwin, 1903, p. 162)

The Occurance Of Great And Astonishing Events

Great phenomena will happen in his time. (al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar, p. 27)

The signs of his emergence resemble those preparatory signs that earlier gave an indication of our Allah’s Messenger. (Ibid.)
