Stern Warning Concerning Debt (Hadith Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)

Being under debt is one of the worst thing that can happen to a respectable man and a true believer. The burden of debt that beyond the reach of a man's financial resources to meet ccan put one's entire life in jeopardy. every knock on the door, or a tinging of the door bell or e-mail from the banks and the people you owe money can be really devastating. The debt can rob you the peace of mind and may as well throw you in a deep state of depression.

But what if instead of the bank men or people whom you owe money, the angel of death knocks at your door. That is you die with a burden of debt still on your head. Unless your children pay off your debt or the man whom you owe the money forgives his money, you are in serious trouble even in the hereafter.

This is the subject of the  Hadith attributed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as mentioned in mentioned in Sunan Ibn Majah /  Book 15 The Chapters on Charity / باب الصدقات) / Chapter 12: Stern Warning Concerning Debt / باب التَّشْدِيدِ فِي الدَّيْنِ / as Hadith number # 2414 under:

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
Whoever dies owing a Dinar or a Dirham, it will be paid back from his good deeds, because then there will be no Dinar or Dirham.”

Arabic Text:‏
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ سَوَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَوَاءٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ مَطَرٍ الْوَرَّاقِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ دِينَارٌ أَوْ دِرْهَمٌ قُضِيَ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ لَيْسَ ثَمَّ دِينَارٌ وَلاَ دِرْهَمٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
Grade: Sahih (Darussalam)

This Hadith in fact is a Stern Warning Concerning Debt for all of us not to leaveeven a penny of debt ever for no one knows when the clock stops and unless one's debts are paid by one's heirs, these can put us in serious trouble in the Hereafter. The judgement will be so simple, yet very tough, to bear for even a Dinar, say even a pence, will be traded with one's good deeds and added to the account of the one whom one owed that money.

Those of us who rob the poor of their hard earned money and property, and then render them helpless and leaving no choice for them but to take a loan, will also stand in the same queue. For forcing someone to take a loan while leaving him no other option, will be equally guilty. May be his good deeds are traded for the debt of the person who could not pay. 

So please make sure to live and manage one's life within the resources one has and one must never raise one's goals so high that one has to take loans which one may not be able to pay thereafter. Live a simple life within resources and avoid greed to have more by taking risks of being under debt.
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door. 
وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏ 
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.

May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.

Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.

Ramadan: How can we make Ramadan 2024 more blessed than before

Alhamdolillah, we are the blessed ones who will be fasting during the month of Ramadan 2024. We have been fasting all our lives, or at best most of our lives, and this year too Allah has blessed us the opportunity to fast yet again. We cannot find words to express my gratitude to the favour of Allah of bestowing us yet another opportunity to fast for the love of Allah.

But have ever pondered over how should we live through this Ramadan of our lives? What is something special that we would love and like to concentrate while fasting and making all related worships and prayers specific to Ramadan?

Or in simple words: What is our GOAL for this Ramadan?

I think most of of us do not make a pledge to be different than all previous months of Ramadan. We just begin the month by fasting, going to Taraweeh prayers, reciting Qur'an more than the usual and giving out more in charity. This is what we did last year and the years before. So how do we make this Ramadan different by setting a goal for ourselves?

Please, listen to Dr. Haifaa Younis | Mifftaah and be benefitted from her soul searching talk on "What is your goal for Ramadan?"
After listening to this lecture, I hope we will make this Ramadan different from all the previous years and concentrate on one aspect of of our lives and make an endeavour to be better than before. In Sha Allah.
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.

Ramadan: Immense reward of two acts if undertaken out of sincere Faith with honest intention

Ramadan, the holiest month of Islamic calendar is fast approaching and for year 2024, it is likely to commence in the evening on Sunday, March 10, 2024 and end on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. This month is long awaited by all Muslims around the world for it carries immense Divine blessings for those who keep fast throughout the month, observe all acts of worship including the Taraweeh (تراويح - Romanized: Tarāwīḥ) prayers after the obligatory night prayer (Isha), reciting Qur'an during the day and even after the Fajr prayer (the pre dawn prayer) besides all acts of charity and otherwise good deeds.

However if two acts are undertaken out of sincere Faith with honest intention during the month, to please Allah and hoping for as special reward, Allah promptly responds and elevates them to the status of special servants.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has mentioned a Hadith these tow acts as quoted in Sahi al-Bukhārī  (Book 30 - Fasting /  كتاب الصوم / Chapter 6:  Whoever observed fast in Ramadan out of sincere Faith with honest intention / باب مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا وَنِيَّةً) as Hadith 1901, given herein under:

Narrated by Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever established prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven; and whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven."

Arabic Text:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ، وَمَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏

That is fasting not to tell the world that they are fasting and pretending to look pious, rather fasting throughout the month out of sincere Faith with honest intention to please Allah alone. And in addition to those who look for the Night of Qadr - (Arabic: لیلة القدر, Romanized: Laylat al-Qadr; also rendered as the Night of Destiny, Night of Decree, Night of Determination, or the Precious Night), that falls on any of the odd days of the last 10 days of the month of Ramadan, and remain busy in offering additional voluntary prayers (Nafil (Arabic: صلاة النفل, ṣalāt al-nafl) or optional prayer, is a type of a non-obligatory prayer.) and recitation of the Qur'an.

* Read more about: Tarāwīḥ prayer - Night of Qadr - Nafil Prayers

Let us not let this month pass away without bagging the special reward by merely our true and honest intentions to please Allah alone, and not as a show off to appear pious.
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.

Continuation of reward of good deeds (Hadith Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)

Islam is a blessed religion where the reward of good deeds never ceases. Those who make it a habit of doing good deeds or regular acts of worship like voluntary prayers, charity or reading Quran everyday, the reward of these deeds never ceases. It is promise of Allah that even if someone embarks upon a travel and is unable to continue with one's daily routine of worship, the reward continues till one comes back and resumes the previous routine worship. The same has been promised for those who fall sick and are unable to carry on with good deeds.

This glad tiding is mentioned in a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, quoted in Sahi al-Bukhārī  (Book 56 - Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad) /  كتاب الجهاد والسير / Chapter 134:  A traveler is granted reward / باب يُكْتَبُ لِلْمُسَافِرِ مِثْلُ مَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ فِي الإِقَامَةِ) as Hadith 2996, given herein under:

Narrated Ibrahim Abu Isma`il As-Saksaki: I heard Abu Burda who accompanied Yazid bin Abi Kabsha on a journey. Yazid used to observe fasting on journeys. Abu Burda said to him, "I heard Abu Musa several times saying that Allah's Apostle said, 'When a slave falls ill or travels, then he will get reward similar to that he gets for good deeds practiced at home when in good health."

Arabic Text:
حَدَّثَنَا مَطَرُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْعَوَّامُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ السَّكْسَكِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ، وَاصْطَحَبَ، هُوَ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَكَانَ يَزِيدُ يَصُومُ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى مِرَارًا يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِذَا مَرِضَ الْعَبْدُ أَوْ سَافَرَ، كُتِبَ لَهُ مِثْلُ مَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ مُقِيمًا صَحِيحًا ‏"‏‏.‏

This is the reason why Islam teaches and encourages us to make the involuntary worship, charity or reading Qur'an part of our daily routine for one never knows about his health and fall sick or have to travel, disrupting one's daily routine of good deeds. It would be better that one decides to offer a number of cycles of involuntary prayer, reading at least one Ruku of the Qur'an, keeping fast on ever Monday and Thursday or even giving away a small amount of money in charity every day or once a week. Whatever routine one continuously observes will become one's continuous source of rewards when the routine is disturbed due to travel or sickness. May Allah's rewards continue to pour on us. Ameen
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable.

Beware of the curse of the oppressed (Hadith Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)

The world we live in is unfortunately dominated by the powerful, demagogue  cruel godfathers and men of position. And it is them on whose mercy every weak and meek seek for wherever the former go  they leave behind tales of misery, cruelty and injustice.

These are either men or countries flexing their muscles to dominate the defenseless weak and poor,who cannot stand up to the powerful for fear of severe retribution. But the curse they hurl on the cruel reaches the heavens far earlier than the tales of injustice meted out to them.

Oppression has many a face: It may start from oppression of one's spouse or children at home, oppression by a street gangs of a community, oppression by a tyrant politician to snub and subdue the people, and or oppression of smaller states by powerful countries. Thus, the curse of any people or countries that are oppressed pierce through the heavens and are specially listened to by our Lord.

And it is for those oppressed whom Allah promises lifting the veil between Him and them and always listens to them and promises that every dog has its day and will be accounted for.

This is the subject of the hadith attributed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ mentioned in Sahi al-Bukhārī  (Book 46 -   Oppressions /  كتاب المظالم / Chapter 0: The curse of the oppressed / باب الاِتِّقَاءِ وَالْحَذَرِ مِنْ دَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ) as Hadith 1145, given herein under:

Narrated by Ibn `Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Mu`adh to Yemen and said, "Be afraid, from the curse of the oppressed as there is no screen between his invocation and Allah."

Arabic Text:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعَثَ مُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اتَّقِ دَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ، فَإِنَّهَا لَيْسَ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ اللَّهِ حِجَابٌ ‏"‏‏.

So my brothers and sisters in Islam, never ever hurt a poor or being unjust to anyone  for wrath of Allah is too severe to be borne
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān.

Which is the time when Allah promises responding to invocations of believers

It is obligatory on every adult and sane man and woman to offer prayers As Salat five times a day. And Allah responds to their invocations in His own way. But there is one prayer which is not obligatory, yet it carries far more dividends and blessings for the believers. This is the voluntary prayer of Tahajjad, when a believer breaks his sleep in the night and stand in front of his Creator when everyone else is asleep. This is the prayer that Allah loves the most for a His servant has sacrificed his sleep for the love of his Creator. And this is the time when any invocation made by a believer is personally listened to by Allah and Allah promises to respond to the invocations of His servants. 

In one of his Hadiths, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has mentioned the descending of Allah to the nearest Heaven from earth and is pleased with His servants praying and supplicating. This Hadith is mentioned in Sahi al-Bukhārī  (Book 19 -   Prayer at Night (Tahajjud) /  كتاب التهجد / Chapter 14: Offering Salat (prayer) and invoking Allah in the last hours of the night / باب الدُّعَاءِ وَالصَّلاَةِ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ) as Hadith 1145, given herein under:

Narrated by Abu Huraira
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: "Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?"

Arabic Text:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، وَأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَغَرِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Though it is very difficult for men to get up in the last quarter of night for one is already tired of working the whole previous day and resting to get up the next day for the repetition of his daily chores. And if one breaks one's sleep and stand in front of his Rabb voluntary for there is no Adhan for Tahajjad prayer and opens his heart out to Him, hoping his invocations will be heard to. And believe me these are heard and responded.  

This is the time when there is no barrier between the man and his Creator - a time when in the quietness of last quarter of night, a man opens his heart out to his Creator as if he is in direct communication with his Lord. The immense joy of such a time and invocation can be described, but felt. Try it out and once a believer makes it a habit to pray the Tahajjad prayer, there is no stopping then. Try it tonight!
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.

That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.

Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.

Note: When we mention God in our posts, we mean One True God, we call Allah in Islam, with no associates. Allah is the Sole Creator of all things, and that Allah is all-powerful and all-knowing. Allah has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.

Don't let the Satan win

The life of believers is a severe test of test of tug of war between the good and the evil. No matter how pious a believer may be be, the Satanic enticements are so tempting and luring, that one sometimes slips and falls into the trap of evil by sinning. But remember, the Satan does not win by luring you to commit a sin, he wins when you think that Allah will not show His mercy to you and forgive you, even if you repent and seek Divine forgiveness.

In the Qur'an, and in many a Hadith attributed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, believers are time and again reminded not to despair if they have sinned and always seek mercy of Allah and be rest assured that Allah will forgive their sins if His mercy is invoked, for Allah is Al-Ghafur (الغفور) - The Forgiving, The Pardoner and Ar Rahim (الرحيم) - The Most Merciful.

We share today the 53rd verse from Surah 39 Az Zumar, in which Allah directs His messenger, Muhammad ﷺ, to tell the believers never to despair of Allah's mercy for He would forgive their sins no matter whatever the size or enormity, for He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful. This verse is meant to one should not seek the support of others while losing hope in God. If they repent after confessing their sin, He will forgive even the greatest of sins.

قُلۡ يٰعِبَادِىَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَسۡرَفُوۡا عَلٰٓى اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ لَا تَقۡنَطُوۡا مِنۡ رَّحۡمَةِ اللّٰهِ​ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَغۡفِرُ الذُّنُوۡبَ جَمِيۡعًا​ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الۡغَفُوۡرُ الرَّحِيۡمُ‏ 
(39:53) Tell them, (O Prophet): “My servants who have committed excesses against themselves, do not despair of Allah's Mercy. Surely Allah forgives all sins. He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

The address here is to all mankind. There is no weighty argument to regard only the believers as the addressees. As has been observed by 'Allama Ibn Kathir, to address such a thing to the common men does not mean that Allah forgives all sins without repentance, but Allah Himself has explained in the following verses that sins are forgiven only when the sinner turns to Allah's worship and service and adopts obedience to the message sent down by Him. As a matter of fact, this verse brought a message of hope for those people who had committed mortal sins like murder, adultery, theft, robbery, etc. in the days of ignorance, and had despaired whether they would ever be forgiven. To them it has been said: "Do not despair of Allah's mercy: whatever you might have done in the past, if you sincerely turn to your Lord's obedience, you will be forgiven every sin." The same interpretation of this verse has been given by Ibn `Abbas, Qatadah, Mujahid and Ibn Zaid. (Ibn Jarir, Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Da'ud, Tirmidhi). For further explanation, see AI-Furqan: 70-71 and the E.N.'s thereof. 

Note
Some commentators have given a strange interpretation to these words. They say that Allah Himself has commanded the Holy Prophet to address the people as "My servants" therefore, all men are the servants of the Holy Prophet. This interpretation is no interpretation at all but a worst distortion of the meaning of the Qur'an and indeed tampering with the Word of Allah. If this interpretation were correct, it would falsify and negate the whole Qur'an.

For the Qur'an, from the beginning to the end, establishes the concept that men are the servants of Allah alone, and its whole message revolves around the point that they should serve none but One Allah alone. The Holy Prophet (upon whom be Allah's peace) himself was Allah's servant. Allah had sent him not as rabb (sustainer, providence) but as a Messenger so that he should himself serve Him and teach the other people also to serve Him alone. After all, how can a sensible person believe that the Holy Prophet might have one day stood up before the disbelieving Quraish of Makkah and made the sudden proclamation: "You are in fact the slaves of Muhammad and not of al- `Uzzah and ash-Shams." (We seek Allah's refuge from this) 

Tafsir Ibn-Kathir
Verse 53 opens with the words: قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَ‌فُوا (0 servants of Mine who have acted recklessly against their own selves, do not despair of Allah's mercy. Surely, Allah will forgive all sins.). Taba` i, Said Ibn Jubayr reports from Sayyidna Ibn ` Abbas ؓ that there were some people who had killed a lot of people unjustly and had committed a lot of shameful acts. They came to the Holy Prophet ﷺ and submitted before him, 'The religion you invite us to is, no doubt, very good, but we have a problem. We think about all those major sins we have already committed. Now if we were to become Muslims, do you hope that our repentance will be accepted?' Thereupon, Allah Ta’ ala revealed this verse to the Holy Prophet ﷺ - reported by al-Bukhari in that sense (al-Qurtubi).

Therefore, the outcome of the subject taken up in the verse comes to be that, well before death arrives, the repentance made from sins, no matter how serious, even from kufr (disbelief) and shirk (ascribing of partners to Allah), gets to be accepted. And by virtue of a genuine taubah (repentance), all sins will be forgiven, therefore, no one should lose hope in the mercy of Allah.

Sayyidna ` Abdullah Ibn ` Umar ؓ said that, out of all verses of the Qur'an, this verse brings the strongest message of hope for sinners. But, Sayyidna Ibn ` Abbas ؓ said that the strongest such verse is: إِنَّ رَ‌بَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَ‌ةٍ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ ظُلْمِهِمْ (And surely, your Lord is the lord of forgiveness for the people against their wrongdoings - Ar-Ra'd, 13:6)

Qur'an Wiki explanation:
It is divine mercy that will erase every transgression, whatever it happens to be. It is an invitation to all those who have gone far into error and led a life that has taken them far astray, telling them hope still remains available and God’s mercy and forgiveness are not far from them. God is most merciful to His servants. He knows their weaknesses and the factors that work on them, whether these are within themselves or in society. He is aware that Satan sets traps for them at every corner, using a great variety of forces, never tiring of his attempt to seduce them. Moreover, God knows that man can easily fall when he lets his bond to the truth weaken, and that his desires and aspirations can easily disturb his equilibrium, pulling him this way or that, leading him into error.

As God knows all this about man, He provides him with ample help, opening the gates of His mercy. He does not take him to task for his sin until He has facilitated for him all the ways and means to rectify his error and mend his ways. Nevertheless, when man goes deep into sin, thinking that he is totally rejected by God and that all is lost, he hears at this point of utter despair a fine address expressing the unlimited mercy available to him: “Say: [Thus speaks God]: You servants of Mine who have transgressed against their own souls! Do not despair of God’s mercy: God forgives all sins; He alone is Much-Forgiving, Merciful.” (Verse 53)

This means that despite his repeated sins, going far into disobedience of God, all he needs to receive God’s grace that revives all that is good in him is to repent. All he needs to do is turn back to God through the gate that is left wide open, without a guard, and with no need for any special permission.

Alhamdulillah, we have such a forgiving and merciful Lord. His Mercy extends to all who seek it. Even the most hardened sinner is told to never lose hope in Allah’s Infinite Mercy.
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.

Revert Experiences: A journey from street crimes to accepting Islam and engaging in Da'wah

Reverting to Islam is one thing that is happening around the world very frequently. Only in the USA 4000-5000 non Muslims are entering the fold of Islam every passing year. The growth is so rapid that many believe that one day the USA will become United States of Islam. 

Today I came across a revert experience of an American revert which was really amazing. A young boy of merely 18 years of age, who had been engaged in a life of street crimes and drugs and had a very uneasy stay in schools. And then suddenly came the life changer and he reverted to Islam. 

Asked in an interview, as my readers will watch below, he listed down four reasons that attracted him to Islam:
  • Tawid (faith in One God) as against the faith in three gods of Trinity
  • Purity
  • Discipline, and
  • The Kalima
After reversion to Islam and undertaking intensive studies in knowing more in Islam, he is now engaged full time in Da'wah and inviting non Muslims to Islam. Interestingly, his first conversion was of his friend who was once his partner in his street crimes life. He then persuaded his grandmother to Islam, which she willingly accepted. From then on, there is no ending in his pursuits to extend Da'wah to so many. What a rewarding life: rising above the life of street crime and carrying on the noble cause of Da'wah.

Without wasting anymore time in writing, please watch the full video of reversion to Islam, which is simply so inviting and logical that many may take a cue form his experience and make up their mind to revert to Islam.:
May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.

Why so many non-Muslims Keep reverting to Islam

This question should not come as a surprise to non Muslims as the writing is on the wall all over the world. There has been a sharp increase in the number of non Muslims being attracted to Islam, and many of these end up taking their Shahadah to enter the fold of Islam. The number of Muslims is almost touching the two billion mark with its steady increase every day.

As per Wikipedia, More than 24.1% of the world's population is Muslim. Current estimates conclude that the number of Muslims in the world is around 1.8 billion. Muslims are the majority in 49 countries, they speak hundreds of languages and come from diverse ethnic backgrounds. The city of Karachi in Pakistan has the largest Muslim population in the world.

The reason why is generally the mere fact that Islam is not only a religion. In fact, it is a way of life that teaches about relationship with God, with the universe, and inter personal relationship with ethics with the economy and the political system.

What could be the major factors that are leading to this Muslim population increase? There have been many studies being carried out to find the reason why, specially in the Christian world for Islam is considered to be the major religion by year 2050, leaving behind the Christianity.

Generally, the  reason quoted for the increase in Muslim population is given the higher fertility rate among the Muslims. But if statistics are taken seriously, the ratio between physical growth within Musli families, the number of reverts is also very sizable. 

This is because Islam encourages reasoning and logical thinking. Younger generation of today's non-Muslim world is much more curious and fact finding. Most of the reverted Muslims take years studying Islam, pondering over the pros and cons, weighing the anti Muslim sentiments / Islamophobia and the truth that they find by reading Qur'an, which is otherwise misquoted by the non-Muslim clerics. The ordinary non-Muslims are generally brainwashed about Islam and are fed with the notion of Islamophobia, Muslims being terrorists, and being illiterates and stubborn. It is only when non-Muslims try to find answers to their queries and read Qur'an, they find the lies being fed to them for the fear of losing them to Islam.

We could go on and on, listing reasons in favour of Islam, it would be an eye opener to watch the following very informative video  video which explains the reasons due to which more people are accepting  Islam:

In our reckoning, when it comes to talking about religions, one should never hide the facts or twist them for the purpose of point scoring. Le everyone know the truth and then let them weigh the implications vis a vis their own faith and Islam and decide where the truth and logic weighs heavy. It is the concept of Trinity which perhaps is the main reason that people find it illogical and find the answer of One True God, Muslims call Allah, and change faiths. Let the sanity prevails. Bashing Islam, ridiculing the word Allah as something different for the Divine God, and personal life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has in fact resulted in more inclination to Islam rather than hating it for no good reason.
