Are We Truly Believers?

Are We Truly Believers?
By British Political Prisoner Babar Ahmad MX5383



“So do not weaken and do not grieve, for you will indeed be superior if you are truly believers.”

[Al-Quran 3:139]

This verse was revealed to the Messenger (SAS) by Allah The Almighty from above the Seven Heavens, soon after the Muslims suffered a defeat in the Battle of Uhud and returned to Al-Madinah dejected and downtrodden. It was revealed as an encouragement to the believers after a victory that was in their grasp, was snatched away from them and turned into a defeat. And why should the Companions (RA) not have felt devastated at this defeat? Seventy of the best human beings on Earth at the time were killed and countless others were injured. Even the Messenger (SAS) himself was seriously wounded until blood flowed from his face and he said in great anguish whilst wiping the blood from his noble cheeks: “Allah’s Wrath is Great upon the people who besmeared His Messenger’s face with blood.”

However, this defeat was only a temporary setback so that the believers could reflect upon the reasons for the defeat, described in successive verses of Surah Ale-Imran. The mistakes and sins of a few believers had deprived the whole army of victory.

When Umar bin Al-Khattab (RA) despatched the army of Saad bin Abi Waqqas (RA) to the Battle of Al-Qadisiyyah, he advised him: “Fear your sins more than you fear the enemy as your sins are more dangerous to you than your enemy. We Muslims are only victorious over our enemy because their sins outnumber ours, not for any other reason. If our sins were equal to those of our enemy, then they would defeat us due to their superior numbers and resources.”

And so Saad (RA) proceeded to fight the Persians and, sticking to the advice of his leader, he imprisoned the alcoholic Abu Mahjan Ath-Thaqafi lest his presence in the army delays the victory. Until, Abu Mahjan lamented in his shackles and composed verses of poetry that touched the wife of Saad (RA) to temporarily release him so that he could participate in the battle with his brothers. Abu Mahjan thus went out riding the horse of Saad (RA) (as Saad (RA) was bedridden with fever) and performed unmatched feats of valour before returning to his cell in the evening and wearing his shackles back by himself. This continued for three days until, when Saad (RA) found out about the heroics of Abu Mahjan, he untied his shackles with the words: “By Allah! I will never imprison you again for drinking alcohol!” Upon this, Abu Mahjan replied, “By Allah! I will never again touch alcohol after this day!” The army was victorious and Saad (RA) appointed the ascetic Companion Salman Al-Farsi (RA) as the new ruler of Persia, who lived on a meagre salary of one dirham per day.

Victory and defeat, gains and losses, and successes and setbacks are not decided by money, resources, numbers or skills. Rather, they are decided by the balance of obedience and disobedience of Allah The Exalted. The more we obey Allah, both individually and collectively, the more we hasten His Victory. The more we disobey Allah, the more we delay the arrival of His Victory. One Muslim’s sins can delay the victory for everyone. It is very easy to blame Bush and Blair, the ‘West’, the ‘kuffar’ or simply ‘them’ for all our woes and worries. But it is not so easy to look in the mirror and point the finger at ourselves.

Look at us and our pathetic state. We have abandoned Salah or we delay it or rush through it. We are too stingy to give Zakah, let alone optional charity. We prefer to go on holiday than to go for the obligatory Hajj. We drink alcohol, we use and supply drugs (Muslims are amongst the biggest suppliers of drugs in the world today), we cohabit outside wedlock, we steal, we cheat. We eat haram, earn haram and sell haram. We beat our wives and force our daughters into marriages then use Islam to justify it. We are quick to spend on fashion and luxuries but slow to spend on orphans and the needy. We fail to utter a single word, let alone raise a finger, when we see our fellow Muslims imprisoned , tortured, house-arrested, extradited or slain for fear of being ‘linked’ to them. We waste our lives watching television and playing computer games then complain that we don’t have enough time to become better Muslims. We are too addicted to music to find time to listen to or memorise the Quran. We are too busy in fun and games to fulfil our responsibilities as vicegerents on Allah’s Earth. And after all this (and more), we have the audacity to wonder why Allah’s Victory has not yet arrived. With our paltry state, we should more likely expect Allah’s Wrath and Punishment rather than His Victory.

Every sin we commit delays the arrival of Allah’s Victory. Every Salah we delay extends the incarceration of a captive at Guantanamo Bay. Every drug we take allows another Quran to be flushed down the toilet. Every hour we waste watching TV allows another Muslim to be kidnapped and extradited into the hands of savage beasts. Every time we gaze at something forbidden, we place an obstacle in the path of Allah’s Victory. A sin is not a ‘private matter between me and Allah’ but one sin can make the difference between victory and defeat. Every sin we commit is one more reason why Allah should not grant us relief, safety and victory.

Allah has made us a Promise in the aforementioned verse: “So do not weaken and do not grieve, for you will indeed be superior if you are truly believers.” He promises us relief, assistance, superiority and victory on the condition that we are true believers. If we suffer defeats today then it does not mean that Allah’s Promise is false. Instead, the question we must ask ourselves is: are we truly believers?

The Victorious Group mentioned in the Ahadeeth

AD-DAIFATUL MANSURA
By Umm Abdullah

Salamah bin Nufayl (radiallahu anhu) said: While I was sitting with the messenger of Allah (salaAllahu alayhi wassalam), a man came to him and said “ O messenger of Allah! Horses are being discarded and weapons are being laid down and some people are claiming there is no more jihad and war has just ended.” The messenger of Allah (salaAllahu alayhi wassalam) said “ they are lying! Now fighting has just begun and a party of my ummah will fight for the sake of Allah and those who oppose them will not harm them, and Allah will deviate the hearts of some men to provide for that party from them by fighting them, and they will continue fighting until the last hour starts and good will remain on the foreheads of horses until the day of judgment and war will not end until Ya’juj and Ma’juj come out." (Sahih Bukhari)

There is another similar hadith in Sunan Nasai: Salman bin Nufayl said, “While I was sitting with Rasullah (salaAllahu alayhi wassalam) a man came to him and said “O messenger of Allah! Horses are being humiliated and weapons are being laid down and people are claiming there is no more jihad and war has ended. Rasullah (salaAllahu alayhi wassalam) said “they are lying fighting has just begun, fighting has just begun. And a party of my ummah will remain fighting on the true path and Allah will deviate the hearts of some men and Allah will provide the fighters from them until the final hour starts and the promise of Allah is fulfilled. Good is on the foreheads of horses until the day of judgment, it is being revealed to me that I will be departing you soon and you will follow me while you are fighting each other and the house of the believers is in Sham(Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan)."

Al-Sindi says in his commentary on Sunan Nasai “humiliating horses" means ignoring them and their importance or not using them for combat (fighting). He also comments when Rasullah says, “Now fighting has started now fighting has started.” He said “the repetition is to show the importance of the message and it means that fighting is only increasing and that Allah has just prescribed it so how can it end so soon or it means that the real fighting has just begun because so far they have just been fighting only within their territory, the land of the Arabs but now its time for them to carry the battle to further lands.

Here are the following qualities of the victorious group from the Qur’an:
Allah says about them:
"O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islâm), Allâh will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allâh, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allâh which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allâh is All Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All Knower."[1]

1. Allah loves them
2. They love Allah
3. They are humble towards the believers (they care about them)
4. They are harsh and stern towards the kuffar
5. They fight in jihad in the path of Allah
6. They don’t fear the blame of the blamers

Qualities mentioned in the Ahadith:

1. they dont cease to exist(so they will continue)
2. it is a taaifa
3. it is an 'isaabah
4. it is an ummah
5.they are nas(a people)
6.from the prophet's ummah
7.established upon the command of Allah
8.upon the truth
9.winners(victorious) wherever they are
10.manifest over the people
11.or those who oppose them
12.fighting(yuqaatiloon)
13.waging jihaad
14.will be expelled into every area
15.making low their enemies
16.They dont care about those who betray them or abandon them
17.they prefer martyrdom to victory
18.Allah will deviate the hearts by way of them,provide for them through them(to fight them;meaning if everyone becomes guided-Muslim-and there is no one on the face of the earth to fight anymore because one of the reasons jihaad is waged is to wipe out kufr so if this happens then Allah will misguide some people's hearts so this daaifa can continue with their jihaad)
19.the incitement of their leaders to fight
20.they don't care about the hatred and 'adawa of those who take them as enemies
21.they will continue until the command of Allah comes and they are on it
22.or until the day of resurrection[2]

and much more....

May Allah make us of them. Ameen.

Our Women: The Essence of the Ummah by Abu Qatadah(hafithahullah)

Our Women: The Essence of the Ummah

assalamu alaikum,

i wanted the sisters to read this article and ponder over it. The speaker says the truth.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By Abu Qatadah

“...It is not a coincidence that the Qur’an tells us in ‘al-Qasas’ about the conflict between Musa and Fir’awn (Moses and Pharaoh), and the Qur’an’s focus on this conflict is the verse: {“And We wished to do a favor to those who were oppressed in the land, and to make them rulers and to make them the inheritors.”} [al-Qasas; 5] So, this transferal of power began with a woman, as Allah Said: {“And We inspired to the mother of Musa: "Suckle him. But, when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear or grieve...””} [al-Qasas; 7]

So, the woman is the focal point of our conflict with our opponents, and the outcome of either victory or defeat will come through her. These are not words for a speech or poetry. Rather, it is the reality that we must all pay attention to.

So, you see today the best of this Ummah – where are its men? They are either in prisons, kicked out of their countries, or occupied with this struggle. So, who will protect the family and raise the children and see to the daily affairs of life? It is none other than the woman. And thanks to Allah, the Islamic Da’wah has won the battle until now when it comes to the woman despite the presence of some shortcomings in her being violated, corrupted, and turned into a source of corruption.

The conflict has begun in that the situation of the woman in our Ummah is not purely Islamic, as many social restrictions placed around the woman contradict the Shari’ah of Allah. For example, preventing her from education, preventing her from her right of ownership, looking down on her, and the spread of jahili practices against her – this reality gave a chance for the modern liberal jahiliyyah to gain acceptance with some of these poor women. With the help of their filthy devils, their goal is to transform the woman into a product to be displayed. Because of this, those of us involved in this da’wah have to free ourselves from these two forms of jahiliyyah – the first jahiliyyah and the second jahiliyyah; the corrupt jahiliyyah of the people and the jahiliyyah of liberalism. The correct path is with Islam, which is to respect the woman and appreciate her and to protect her rights to education and work that is within the guidelines of the Shari’ah, in addition to her rights of ownership, inheritance, etc.

And from the things we must struggle against in order to tighten the way for Satan to spread his message are high dowries in marriage, and to raise the excellent Islamic slogan of “The lesser your dowry is, the more your blessings will be,” as the presence of unmarried men and women who are at the age where they should be married is a hidden evil that can destroy every good. So, lowering dowries will end this, without a doubt. Also, we should break the shackles of this evil jahiliyyah such as the requirement of equal social status between spouses. This is a baseless condition, as Zaynab bint Jahsh – who was from Quraysh – married Zayd bin Harithah, who was a slave...and I have seen those who prefer that their daughters remain unmarried than to marry her to a Muslim who is not from the same country or tribe, and such people are described in the Shari’ah as oppressive caretakers, and their position as caretakers is nullified due to their inappropriate actions and foolishness.

The woman is the essence of our Ummah, and any shortcoming from her is a true defeat. Therefore, we have to take care of this aspect and to give it its proper attention. We see failure coming from some men who are on this path. However, until now, we have not seen failure from our sisters. Rather, we have only seen patience, resolve, faith, and true determination. Our sisters and mothers in Palestine are miracles of Allah in all of this, and some of them are unequaled by hundreds of Mujahid men in their struggle, patience, and resolve. Likewise, we saw in the Gulf countries awareness among the women that was much stronger than what was with the men, and purity of heart in supporting the Mujahidin that we did not see from the men. So, all praise is for Allah, the Lord of the worlds. As for the West, the wives of the non-Arab brothers have Islam, faith, and awareness that we rarely see with the men. As for the wives of the Arab immigrants, they are generally much better and purer than their husbands. I heard many complaints from the Muslim women about the weakness of their husbands in regards to their religious practice, and this criticism proves the high status that our sisters hold and that they are better than the men, by the favor of Allah.

The attention that Satan and his soldiers give to the religious woman in her Hijab shows us the importance of this conflict. Therefore, it isn’t strange that France – with all of its problems – would turn its attention to fighting the Hijab and legislating laws to ban it, and to have many European countries imitate it in this devilish move. Likewise, if you follow what goes on in many conferences and the attention and effort given to destroy the family structure and the woman, you will come to realize that the woman is a fortress that is quite significant. So, this battle is one that we cannot ignore.

We have to teach our women, because education is what will protect her from failure. The ignorant woman is an enemy to herself, her husband, her household, and her society. And we have to defend her rights, and it is upon the propagators and scholars and religious people to distinguish true Islam from jahili social customs, because baseless social customs are the weapon that the modern jahiliyyah uses in its battle against the woman.

Why do we hear today of misyar marriages? I am not discussing the ruling on it here. Rather, I am discussing it as an unfamiliar social phenomenon, because the norm is that marriages are announced and known to all. The reason it now exists is because of the social deviation that is manifested in high dowries and the existence of the baseless condition of equal social status between the man and woman. So, the youth are turned off from marriage and remain unmarried, and the natural result is this sick, twisted form of marriage. This twisted form of marriage is what takes place when the woman is conscious of her Lord. However, if she is like other women, the result will be that she falls into a great offense, without a doubt...

We have the utmost love, respect, and appreciation for our believing mothers, sisters, daughters. And for our patient wives, we have all the love, prayers, and gratitude. Were it not for them, we would be nothing, and there would be no future for our children...”

assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah

Saffiyah bint Abdulmuttalib

She was the paternal aunt of the prophet(salaAllahu alayhi wassalam), the mother of the great sahabi az-Zubayr ibn al Awwam the one whom the prophet(salaAllahu alayhi wassalam) said about him on the Day of Badr "for every prophet there is a disciple and my disciple is az-Zubayr"

She was the mother in law of Asmaa bint Abi Bakr as-Sideeq, the one known as "Dhat an Nitaqaayn". She was the grandmother of the great sahabi Abdullah ibn Zubayr(radiaAllahu anhu).

It was said about her(radiaAllahu anhaa) that she said," when the Messenger of Allah(salaAllahu alayhi wassalam) went out to al Khandaq, he left the women in a fort called Fari' and he left Hassan ibn Thaabit with them. She continued, " a man from the jews came and climbed the fort until we could see him. So I said to Hassan, "go and kill him." He replied, "if I had that in me, I would be with Rasullah(because he was an old man). She said, " so I vieled myself and I took a pole, and came down from the fort to him, and I hit him with the pole until I killed him and then cut off his head. And I said to Hassan, "stand up and throw his head to the Jews while they are below the fort(to scare them and let them know that the women aren't alone). He replied, "By Allah, not that!" She said, " so I took his head and threw it to them, so they said, 'we knew that he*the Prophet) would not leave his family without anyone(men to protect them and guard them)' and they left." And she was the first woman to kill a man from the mushrikeen(jews).This was narrated by Ibn Sa'd from Abu Salamah.

She(radiaAllahu anhaa) was such a patient woman who was always content with the qadar of Allah. When her brother, Hamzah ibn Abdulmuttablib was martyred in Uhud and mutilated, she approached to see his body. Her son az-Zubayr came to her and said, " O Mother, the Messenger of Allah orders you to go back." She said, "Why? When it has reached me that they have mutilated my brother.That was for the sake of Allah so what will make us more pleased than this?I will have patience and be content inshaAllah." So az-Zubayr went back and told the prophet and he said, "leave her be." She went to Hamzah and asked Allah's forgiveness for him.Then it was ordered that he be buried."

As for her (tahreedh) incitement for the men to fight for the sake of Allah, then she never fell short in inciting them with her tongue. And not only did she incite those who remained behind but also those who werent victorious over their enemies. It was mentioned in Al Isabah from Hammad ibn Hisham from his father that she came on the Day of Uhud when the people were defeated and she had a spear which she would use to hit their faces,so the prophet(salaAllahu alayhi wassalam) said," O female az-Zubayr!"

Umm Sulaym bint Milhaan

On the day of al Hunayn, Umm Sulaym had a dagger with her and keep in mind she was heavily pregnant. Abu Talha al Ansari(radiaAllahu anhu) came to Rasullah(salaAllahu alayhi wassalam) laughing and told him that Umm Sulaym has a dagger. So the Messenger(salaAllahu alayhi wassalam) asked her what she'll do with it and she(radiaAllahu anhaa) replied:
"I wanted to stab with it anyone who comes near me." And in another narration she said,"if anyone of the mushrikeen came near me, i would take it and i would slice his belly." So the Messenger of Allah(salaAllahu alayhi wassalam) began to laugh.

Umm Musa al Lakhimiyaah

She was the mother Musa ibn Nusayr, the man who conquered al Andalus

She witnessed the Battle of al Yarmuk with her husband and she said that she killed a kaafir and took his spoils. when Abdulaziz ibn Marwan asked her about the story, she would say describing it:
"we were a group of women, and while the men were undertaking an excursion,i saw a infidel dragging a Muslim man. So i took a pole from a tent and then i approached him and smashed his head with it! And i approached to take his spoils and the men helped me take it. "

from Al Isabah 4/501

Umm Salamah Asmaa bint Yazeed al Ansariyyah

She was the cousin of Muadh ibn Jabal(radiaAllahu anhu), a famous woman of the Ansar. She was the one who prepared Aishah(radiaAllahu anha) on her wedding night for the prophet(salaAllahu alayhi wassalam). She was present at the Bay'atu Ridwaan and is among those whom Allah(azza wa jall) said:

" Indeed, Allah was pleased with the believers when they gave their Bai'a (pledge) to you (O Muhammad ) under the tree..." (Surah al-Fath:18)

In the Battle of Yarmuk, She killed nine Romans by herself with a pole from her tent!

Siyar A'llam an Nubalaa 2/297

Asmaa also played feets in other battles and expeditions with the Prophet(salaAllahu alayhi wassalam).Not only would she fight but she was one of the nurses for the Muslim army and cook for the fighters.In the Battle of the Trench, Asmaa sent the Prophet(salaAllahu alayhi wassalam) his favorite dish of dates and gee. She then invited some of the Mujahideen in this ghazwaa(battle)to partake of the same dish and subhnaAllah everyone had their fill but there was still the same amount of food left over!

She had the honor of being there at the signing of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. She also took part in the Battle of Khaybar against the jewish tribe of Banu Nadheer.

Islam for Non-Muslims

ISLAM


Islam is the final message from Allah(God in Arabic,I will be saying Allah throughout this article) to mankind. Islam means submission to the will and commandments of Allah(Most High). Islam was the way and methodology of all the prophets and messengers before including Eesa(Jesus) and Musa(Moses)-alayhima salaam(peace be upon them both)- Allah sent Muhammad(peace be upon him) as his last and final messenger to mankind to bring people from the depths and darknesses of disbelief and misguidance to the light, guidance and justice of Islam as Allah said:

"He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad ) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islamic Monotheism) to make it victorious over all (other) religions even though the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger Muhammed ) hate (it)."(surah saff verse 9)

Allah is the ONLY existing and One true God and there is no god except Allah(Most High):

"Say (O Muhammad ()): "He is Allâh, (the) One.Allâh-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks)."He begets not, nor was He begotten;And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." (Surah al Ikhlaas verses 1-4)


"Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)."
[Surah al-Baqarah verse 255]

Allah is the one who created the heavens and the earths and all that is in between them, there is no god except Him.

Allah(Most High) says:

"Allah is the One Who created seven heavens and of the earth a similar number. The command descends upon them so that you know that God has power over all things and comprehends all things in His knowledge."(Surah Talaq verse 12)

Islam is the only religion which will be accepted from the person and none other than it.
Allah(Most High) says:

"And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers." (Surah Alee Imran verse 85)

"(As for) those who disbelieve, surely neither their wealth nor their children shall avail them in the least against Allah, and these it is who are the fuel of the fire." (Surah Alee Imran verse 10)

"The Companions of the Garden will call out to the Companions of the Fire: "We have indeed found the promises of our Lord to us true: Have you also found Your Lord's promises true?" They shall say, "Yes"; but a crier shall proclaim between them: "The curse of Allah is on the wrong-doers" (Surah al An'aam verse 44)

Islam is the real purpose of life for mankind both jinn and human beings as Allah(Most High) said:

"And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone)."(Surah adh Dhariyaat verse 56)

We were not created to enjoy this world and then die. We were not created to party and sin(enjoyment as most people see it). We were created for one sole purpose and that is to worship the Creator. How can we then deny his existence or his oneness and join others in worship with him as the Christians did:

"Surely, the disbelievers are those who said: "Allâh is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilâh (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilâh (God -Allâh). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them. Will they not repent to Allâh and ask His Forgiveness? For Allâh is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.."(Surah Maidah verses 73-74)

Or the Jews who said:

"And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh..."(Surah Tawbah verse 30)

What a horrible thing to say against the Most High and a terrible lie!

"That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allâh's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!"(Surah Tawbah verse 30)

So O People of the Book do not lie against Allah(Most High) and he is all-aware of that which you accuse him of and you will be questioned on a Day which will make the child turn grey headed so how can you turn away from the punishment of Allah for your disbelief.
"Then how can you avoid the punishment, if you disbelieve, on a Day that will make the children grey-headed (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)?"(Surah Muzzammil verse 17)

On a day when the eyes of the person who oppressed, oppressed themselves by lying and disbelieving in Allah when they were in this world, on that day when their eyes will stare in horror and terror:

"Consider not that Allah is unaware of that which the Dhalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) do, but He gives them respite up to a Day when the eyes will stare in horror."(Surah Ibrahim verse 42)


No! We were here to worship Allah, the Creator, the only one deserving of our worship. The one whose right upon us is to worship him without associating any partners with him(polythiesm,etc) and whose our right upon him is that if we do so, we are not punished with the fire. O Allah help us and guide us! The Earth, Heavens, and all that is in between was not created for mere game or play:

"And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play. " (Surah ad Dukhaan verse 38)
