This Is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Deriding the word of God and his Messenger, became an ordinary matter these days!...

Most of these misconception came from abroad, the Unbelievers claim that Islam is the religion backwardness, terrorism and unenlightenment. Enemies of Islam persisted on mocking Islamic teachings alleging that they are old and can't fit the modern era !.

Now if anyone browses the internet sites attentively, can easily find plenty of comments and drawings that express unbelievers' spite and bitter feeling against Islam.

You may see them spread it out under name of " freedom of opinion".. …..that unrestraint license freedom!. Among them, a cartoonist in Denmark (1) who made cartoons mocking prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Praise to Allah ! how dare they, mocking Muhammad (peace be upon him), the greatest creature of Allah?. But, as seen, they do not have any logic sense or even scientific proof they can criticize Islam with. They avoided scientific rules (learned by Moslems in middle centuries) this time!

So they rushed with that miserable manner, because they failed to find any linguistic fault or scientific mistake regarding the holly Quran, along with Hadith of the greatest messenger that they can convince their followers with. They found nothing but these drawings that disclose their insolvency.

We have the right to express our opinion about such things, but we do respect Moses and Jesus, peace be upon them, understanding that they do not bear any of their followers acts, for that we do not divide between these generous prophets, understanding that all messengers are sent by Allah.

But let's first read what Allah says about these mockers, God says in the Holy Quran:

(Lo! those who malign Allah and his messenger, Allah hath cursed them in the world and the Hereafter, and hath prepared for them the doom of the disdained* and those who malign believing men and believing women undeservedly, they bear the guilt of slander and manifest sin.) {Al-Ahzab: 57-58 }.

These drawings are bad deeds to Allah, mockery of his messenger causes harm for every believing man and woman. So, we warn them of a painful punishment if they do not desist.

Our way of expressing will be stronger than their way and abide for long run, because these drawings show only delusions and illusion that nowhere else to be find but in their minds. We'll speak to them on scientific basics that they failed to use!. We'll tell them the reality of that merciful prophet (peace be upon him).

I'll not speak about the high morals and the wonderful characteristics he had, Because such mockers characters are void of these characteristics and as a result they are not apt to appreciate them.

Our speech will be scientific and based on material facts announced by that noble prophet. These facts are represented in the Quran, fourteen centuries ago and they are still valid and even will extend in the future as the most solid facts.

In fact, they are belong to countries which believe in justice, human rights and have modern technology as well. I dare to say to those who are proud of science and justice that the Holy Quran which you mockery with, is the first book claim for science and justice!!.

And those are main support for success and prosperity of any civilization.

The first word to come down to Mohammad was (اقرأ Iqra') which means: read, and this is a proof that Islam is a religion of science.

The last word of Quran that came down is: (and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.), and this is a proof that Islam is a religion of justice.

You claim that you are the first who call to search for universe history and you are proud of that. But we ask you to read this verse in Qur'an,which is a straight and direct calling for thinking about the beginning of creation.: (Say: Travel in the earth and see how He makes the first creation, then Allah creates the latter creation; surely Allah has power over all things.) Al-'Ankaboot (20)

This is evidence that Qur'an is mainly concerned with looking,thinking,searching​ and studying.

Our prophet (peace be upon him), launched a new scientific rule for astronomy and cosmic phenomena. When people of Macca thought that the Sun had eclipsed for his son's death (Ibraheem), Prophet Mohammad refused that meaning saying: (The sun and the moon are two signs(creation miracle) among many others from Allah, and they did not eclipse for any one's death or birth.) [Al-Bokhari].

Our Prophet (peace be upon him) claimed these wise words in the time you were believing that solar eclipse is a sign of the birth of a great man, the death of a great man, the end of a tyrant or loosing a battle.

In the same time, Europe was plagued with a plenty of magicians, astrologers and jugglers who accustomed to be believed by people, even by kings......

Our prophet (peace be upon him) denied and forbade these deeds saying: (who ever came to a juggler or diviner and believe what he is saying, he will be unbeliever concerning what been given to Mohammad.)

In the same time, you were thinking that the earth is firm and do not move.......

Qur'an placed a scientific fact confirming that everything in this universe is swimming according to a specific orbit.

This fact you discovered after that,lately!

Allah say about the Sun and the Moon: [ They swim(float) each in an orbit]..(Ya-Seen 40)

In the time when Europe believed in a god for wind, a god for rain and a god for thunder........

Qur'an made scientific basics for all these phenomena, which you have discovered only few years ago.

If you want to know facts about winds, then read what Allah says: (And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the cloud so We give it to you to drink of, nor is it you who store it up.)(Al-Hijr 22)

Don't you discover recently with your modern instruments and equipments the act of the wind to fertilize clouds and rain falling by return?

If you want to know the technique of thunder, which remained unknown to you for a long time ,only was discovered few years ago....

You may read our prophet Hadith: (Don't you wonder about the thunder how it goes and returns in a twinkle of an eye ?).(Moslem collection of Hadith). your digital cameras shoot photos for thunder go to and fro exactly as described by the prophet's words ?

Our prophet (peace be upon him) was the first man in the history to call for medical research through many Hadith laying the basics of modern medicine principals.

Our prophet (peace be upon him) said:(Allah place not a disease but He places a cure for it) ( Bokhari Encyclopedia

That great Hdith assures that there is a cure for different kinds of diseases. That means that if human searches for the cure he will find it.

Don't your scientists apply this Hadith,so they do research to find cure for different diseases which in the past they stand hopeless against.?

Islam is the first to talk about cosmic weave, Allah say: (I swear by the heaven having weaves) (Al-Zariyat 7)

don't you see, through your super computers, that cosmic perfected weave?

You are so proud today considering yourselves the first to discover the beginning of universe,you assure that the universe was a single mass then scattered due to a big bang.

You forget that our prophet (peace be upon him) preceded you since 14 centuries when Allah say:(Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were closed up, then We have parted them;).. (Al-Anbiya' 30)

If we wish, we can identify hundreds,even thousands of modern recently discovered scientific facts, they all exist in Qur'an and Hadith of the master of the prophets (peace be upon him).

Shall you read some of it before you delineate our prophet characteristics , That prophet,who Allah described him as His mercy given to the whole universe.

Hereby, we ask that who can't hear not to criticize beautiful sounds.., and that who can't see not to attack wonderful scenes.., also that who catch cold, not to make objection for perfumed smell.

Whatever the suspicions they try to attach to his character, whatever the false calumniation they utter, The character of our prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) will stay shining, beautiful and splendid.Our prophet (peace be upon him) sayings will remain the most reasonable and scientific.

Also a guidance light of Allah and Qur'an will stay brilliant whatever the unbelievers try to get it off with their fallacies.

Allah say: (He is who hath sent his messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion, however much the idolaters may be averse.) (At-Taubah 33)

Allah say: (Lo! those who malgin Allah and His messenger, Allah hath cursed them in the world and the Hereafter, and hath prepared for them the doom of the disdained.) (Al-Ahzab 57).

Allah say: (We say as Allah Say: (Say: Scoff (your fill)! Lo! Allah is disclosing what ye fear.) (Al-Taubah 64)

Can a person start fasting six days of Shawwaal when he still has days to make up from Ramadaan?

If a person fasts six days of Shawwaal after Ramadaan when he has not yet completed the Ramadaan fast because he did not fast ten days of Ramadaan for a legitimate reason will he have the same reward as a person who fasted all of Ramadaan and followed it with six days of Shawwaal, i.e. will he be like a person who fasted for a lifetime? Please explain to us, may Allaah reward you with good.

Praise be to Allaah.

The precise rewards for the deeds which people do for the sake of Allaah is something which is known only to Allaah. If a person seeks the reward from Allaah and strives to obey Him, his reward will not be lost, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“We shall not make the reward of anyone who does his (righteous) deeds in the most perfect manner to be lost.” [al-Kahf 18:30]. If someone has missed some of the days of Ramadaan, he should fast them first, then fast six days of Shawwaal, because he cannot follow the fast of Ramadaan with six days of Shawwaal unless he has completed his Ramadaan fast.

And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace.

When should a Muslim start fasting six days of Shawwaal?

When can I start fasting six days of Shawwal, since we have annual leave right now?

Praise be to Allaah.

You can start fasting six days of Shawwaal from the second day of Shawwaal, because it is haraam to fast on the day of Eid. You can fast the six days at any time during Shawwaal, although the best of good deeds are those which are done soonest.

The standing committee received the following question:
Should fasting the six days be done immediately after Ramadaan, following the day of Eid or is it permissible to do it a few days after Eid in the month of Shawwaal or not?

They replied as follows:
These days do not have to be fasted immediately after Eid al-Fitr; it is permissible to start fasting them one or more days after Eid, and they may be done consecutively or separately during the month of Shawwaal, according to what is easier for a person. There is plenty of room for maneuver in this matter, and this is not obligatory, it is Sunnah.

And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions and grant them peace.

Age of 40

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي ; وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي ; وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِي ; يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي


إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَداً وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ

"Verily Allah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and know that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware."

(Aayah No. 34, Surah Luqman, Chapter No. 31, Holy Qur'an).

The time and place of death of every human is appointed, no one knows about it except Allah. No one knows how many years he (she) is going to live.

Lifespan of this Ummah

The average age of this Ummah is sixty to seventy; have a look at following narration:

Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said, "The lifespan of my Ummah is from sixty to seventy (years)."

(Hadith No. 2331, Chapters on Zuhd, Jami' At-Tirmidhi, Vol. 4).

According to following hadith, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) lived up to 63 years of age:

Narrated Aishah (RA): Allah's Messenger (PBUH) died when he was sixty-three years of age.

(Hadith No. 4466, Book of Al-Maghazi, Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 5).

Some narrations tell us that Abu Bakr (RA), Umar (RA) and Ali (RA) all died at the age of sixty to seventy.

The average lifespan is told to be 60-70, but some die at an age much younger than that, while some remain alive up to many years more than that. It is all up to Allah, only He knows how much lifespan He has appointed for whom.

Significance of reaching 40 years of age

40 years of age is a very important milestone in the life of a man (woman). Keeping in mind the average lifespan of sixty-seventy years, one who reaches 40 years of age completes about two-thirds of his (her) average lifespan; thereby meaning that he (she) enters into the last third of his (her) life.

Apart from achieving this percentage of lifespan, a man becomes strong (both mentally and physically), he reaches to a stage of maturity, and is able to understand and tackle the highs and lows of all spheres of the life in a reasonable and wise manner. We know that Allah started sending the revelations to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) when he reached 40.

Allah has emphasized this stage of human life very clearly in Qur'an. Please go through following verse of Holy Qur'an:

وَوَصَّيْنَا الإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ إِحْسَاناً حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهاً وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهاً وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلاثُونَ شَهْراً حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَبَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ قَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحاً تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

"And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful & kind to his parents. His mother bears him with hardship. And she brings him forth with hardship, and the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months, till when he attains full strength and reaches forty years, he says: My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You, and make my off-spring good. Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims."

(Aayah No. 15, Surah Al-Ahqaf, Chapter No. 46, Holy Qur'an).

The verse above confirms that a man attains full strength at the age of 40. Moreover, this glorious verse tells about some of the responsibilities of a man when he reaches the age of forty.

The most important thing to be done when one reaches the age of forty is that he/she should make a re-assessment of his own personality, thank Allah for His favours and pray for parents & off-springs. The repentance to Allah should be renewed. One should recite the supplication mentioned in the verse above and abandon all his (her) wrong acts (if any) from that point onwards.

Thus, one should ask Allah to forgive all his/her previous sins and a renewed effort should be made by every individual to ensure that he/she leads his/her remaining life as per Qur'an and Sunnah.

This is a great responsibility for each of us. In fact, it is like a last opportunity for everyone to get his sins forgiven and start anew towards the ultimate goal of entering the Paradise. Do not be shocked when I say it is like a last opportunity. The verse that follows the above mentioned verse explains this statement:

أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ نَتَقَبَّلُ عَنْهُمْ أَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوا وَنَتَجاوَزُ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ فِي أَصْحَابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَعْدَ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ

"They are those from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and overlook their evil deeds. (They shall be) among the dwellers of Paradise – a promise of truth, which they have been promised."

(Aayah No. 16, Surah Al-Ahqaf, Chapter No. 46, Holy Qur'an).

It is very clear from this verse that whoever is good with his/her parents, and whoever after reaching the age of 40 supplicates to Allah (as mentioned in Aayah No. 15 earlier), renews his repentance and make efforts to ensure that he leads a righteous life (as per Qur'an and Sunnah), then such are the only people from whom Allah accepts their repentance. Allah forgives the sins of such people and takes in to account only the good deeds of such people. And above all, Allah promises Paradise for such people.

Now give a thought to how important this milestone is. And at the same time those who have already crossed this age should ask themselves: did they act accordingly?

We should be thankful to Allah that he has given us an opportunity of forgiveness at this stage of our lives. Whoever ignores this and keeps himself busy in his usual wrong-doings then there is a chance that it might get too late for such a person, and he may reach a stage in his life where Allah will no longer accept his repentance. Inspiration should be drawn from following narration:

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Allah will not accept the excuse of any person whose instant of death is delayed till he is sixty years of age."

(Hadith No. 6419, Book of Ar-Riqaq, Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 8).

Concluding remarks

Sadly, we all are living in false hopes; busy trying to fulfill our worldly ambitions. While doing so, we ignore our primary duties ordained by Allah. We forget that all these worldly plans at the cost of our duties as a Muslim (ordained by Allah) shall come to an abrupt end when death strikes. This is beautifully explained in following hadith as well:

Narrated Anas bin Malik (RA): The Prophet (PBUH) drew a few lines and said, "This is (man's) hope, and this is the instant of his death, and while he is in this state (of hope), the nearer line (death) comes to him."

(Hadith No. 6418, Book of Ar-Riqaq, Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 8).

Then we shall move to a never ending world, the Hereafter, with our actions of this world to decide our fate: Heaven or Hell! May Allah keep all of us away from Hell!

But for that we need to act. So, whoever has reached the age of 40 should get his (her) act together and utilize this opportunity given by Allah. Those who shall be reaching that stage in days to come (Insha'Allah), be prepared.

And Allah knows best.

May Allah forgive me if I am wrong and guide us to the right path…Ameen.
