See & Reflect

My dear friends and respected elders,

There are so many beautiful things in life, which just go unnoticed by us. They are very close to us but it's just that we do not have time to see them and reflect. Even if we see them, we do not see with amazement and wonder. If we see with these eyes, we will for sure see in them Signs of God. Therefore, the purpose of putting these pictures here is to just make you see and reflect.

Allah created all this for whom?

For whom He created heavens one over the other?

For whom He created earth in which are hidden treasures for man to benefit from and which provides different kinds of fruits and vegetables in which man delights?

For whom He sends down rain when the earth is dead?

For whom He made night to rest & day to find our livelihood and strive in the way Allah?

For whom He created the Sun which gives us light?

For whom He created the moon and the stars which provide coolness to our eyes in the silence of the night?

For whom He makes the wind blow?

My dear ones, all these blessings of Allah are for you and me. He created all this for you and me, so that we might be thankful to Him. We look at our own selves.

The eyes with which we see this beautiful world;

The ears with which we hear the beautiful sounds;

The nose with which we smell beautiful fragrances;

The taste bud with which we get the taste of different fruits;

The legs on which we walk;

The hands with which we do so many things and The heart with which we feel pain and joy.

Neither these blessings are the result of our supplications nor the result of our deeds. Allah has blessed us with these beautiful things out of His infinite mercy. These are few of the boundless blessings of Allah, the most merciful, in which we delight in and enjoy life. If He were to take any of these blessings from us, for not being thankful to Him or disobeying Him, we can do nothing. In fact, He has every right to do so. If He punishes us for being disobedient to Him, its perfectly justified. In fact, justice demands that obedient should be rewarded and rebel should be punished. Remember? I often keep speaking about Judgment Day (life after death), when scales would be established (smiles). You too can smile for a while, but please take it seriously.

Instead of looking at people whom Allah has apparently blessed more than us, we should look at people whom Allah has not blessed with so many things in life. Please remember that we can only be thankful to Him when we will look at people who are not so blessed as we are and who are not so lucky as we are. When He has blessed us with so many beautiful things in life, shouldn’t we be thankful to Him and share these with others and worship none but Him? Bow down before none but Him?

Instead of getting comments like, ‘you are doing a great job’, etc., I would be more happy if this blog could be a source of guidance for the visitors. I make Allah witness, the sole purpose of writing this blog is nothing but to save mankind from the eternal doom on which he is headed. I pray Allah from the bottom of my heart to guide us all on the path that is simple and straight. The truth is always plain and simple and easy to understand. Verily, guidance truly lies with Allah. I am nothing but a weak slave of Allah, who is trying to move the mountains. By Allah’s will I can move that too and without His will, I cannot move a fly.

Your friend, Hasan

It is God who has raised the heavens without any supports that you could see, and is established on the throne of His almightiness; and He [it is who] has made the sun and the moon subservient [to His laws], each running its course for a term set [by Him]. He governs all that exists. Clearly does He spell out these messages, so that you might be certain in your innermost that you are destined to meet your Sustainer [on Judgment Day]. Qur'aan, 13:2

He it is who has made the sun a [source of] radiant light and the moon a light [reflected], and has determined for it phases so that you might know how to compute the years and to measure [time]. None of this has God created without [an inner] truth. Clearly does He spell out these messages unto people of [innate] knowledge: Qur'aan, 10:5

Say: “Have you ever considered [this]: If God had willed that there should always be night about you, without break, until the Day of Resurrection - is there any deity other than God that could bring you light? Will you not, then, listen [to the truth]?”
Say: “Have you ever considered [this]: If God had willed that there should always be daylight about you, without break, until the Day of Resurrection - is there any deity other than God that could bring you [the darkness of] night, wherein you might rest? Will you not, then, see [the truth]?” Qur'aan, 28:71&72

And He it is who sends forth the winds as a glad tiding of His coming grace-so that, when they have brought heavy clouds, We may drive them towards dead land and cause thereby water to descend; and by this means do We cause all manner of fruit to come forth. Even thus shall We cause the \dead to come forth: [and this] you ought to keep in mind. Qur'aan, 7:57

And We have established the night and the day as two symbols; and thereupon We have effaced the symbol of night and set up [in its place] the light giving symbol of day, so that you might seek to obtain your Sustainer's bounty and be aware of the passing years and of the reckoning [that is bound to come]. For clearly, most clearly, have We spelt out everything!

Qur'aan, 17:12

[whereas] it is He who has made the night for you, so that you might have rest therein, and the day, to make [you] see in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who [are willing to] listen. Qur'aan, 10:67

Hallowed is He who has set up in the skies great constellations, and has placed among them a [radiant] lamp and a light-giving moon. Qur'aan, 25:61

Blog: short and long

A couple of friends suggested me that I should make my blog short. I would have loved to make it short, but when things as important as God and our relationship with Him are discussed, it's just not possible to cut it down to couple of lines and moreso when man is hellbent to annihilate himself in the eternal hell fire. Though it's very easy for me to say what I want to say in a couple of lines , but the question arises - will the readers understand? I doubt.

For instance, I say to my Hindu friend that embrace Islam, so that you may be successful, both in this world and the world hereafter. Now, if he does not know the meaning of Islam and what it means, he will hit back and say, why don't you become a Hindu? Or if I say the same thing to a Christian , he will tell me why don't you become a Christian? They are giving these answers because they think (as a common man think without understanding the meaning) that I am inviting him/her to embrace my religion, therefore, he hits back and tells me why don't you embrace mine? Hence, its imperative to explain to him/her in a bit detail the meaning of Islam, which means nothing but peaceful submission to the will of God. I am not inviting him/her to worship my God. I am, in very simple terms saying to him/her that worship your Lord and your Creator. Do not associate anything with Him, who has power over all things. Who gave you life, will cause you to die and make you accountable for your deeds. The gods and goddesses made of clay and stones, the saints sleeping in the graves, or for that matter anything other than God that you worship, can neither harm you nor benefit you. What's wrong with you?

Now take it a step further. He tells me how do you know that? Has any inspiration come to you from the heavens? I tell him no my dear brother/sister, I am a man like you, but I have a read book called Qur'aan. It's the last and final revelation of God for entire mankind. It was revealed on an unlettered man called Muhammad (peace be upon him). He was no mythological figure. He was born in the light of history. He was an honest and upright man. Even his enemies attested to his integerity and honesty. He was inspired by God. He called men to their natural self, that is to worship none but God, who is God of all. He came to set right the teachings of the prophets of yore, which man had corrupted for material gains. He came to reconnect the lost connection between Master and His slave and save man from the eternal doom.

Actually, Allah looks at our heart. He guides only those who long for it. That's why after having told the right and wrong path through His messengers, He gave man free will to choose his way. That's why Allah says in Qur'aan that there is no compulsion on religion, but Truth clearly stands out from error. So to my friends, who asked me to make my blog short, I most humbly would like to say that such a serious matter cannot be said in few lines, though I will inshaAllah try to make it short where ever possible. It's a serious blog meant for those in search of Truth and much needed peace and happiness. If I could just be a medium, it's nothing but Allah's mercy. Allah is free of all wants. Guidance truly lies with Allah.

Answering an idol worshipper friend

Asslaamualaikum (May peace be on you all),

The following text was written in response to a friend, who told me when we met that he doesn’t understand what I say. He was specially referring to “The Truth Beckons” (please see March 2009 posting). This is how it goes:

I often send you ladies and gentlemen with texts concerning all that is good and pure. I recently met a friend of mine who is also in my mailing list. He also gets such mails from me. He told me that you know Hasan, I don't understand what you keep sending. Hence, I show your mails the way to trash (the place where you divert unwanted mails). By the grace of Allah he is well educated like any one of you. I failed to grasp what he didn't understand. May be his blind faith was challenged by something which is so pure and true. May be, he is used to living in darkness. Hence, seeing the light all of a sudden he was taken aback and got afraid. God knows best. But I respect him and care for him. He is my friend. I do not mind his words as he know not.

I tell a plumber (who is 6th standard pass) or Rickshaw wala (who is hardly educated) that your God and my God and God of all is One, therefore we should worship Him alone. We should not set up partners unto Him. Setting partners unto God is most heinous indeed. Follow the last prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and what is revealed on him (Qur'aan). He did not bring any new religion or any new thing. On the contrary he confirmed what was revealed to the prophets (peace be upon them all) before him. He only set right the corrupted form of religion. He is the last in the chain of the prophets and therefore is called the Seal of the Prophethood. He came to liberate mankind from blind customs and traditions and invited them to submit their will to their Creator, their Master, so that they may prosper. All this is well understood by my plumber friend and Rickshaw wala. But my dear friend who is a well qualified in terms of earning money (actually, that's the definition of qualified people in our dictionary), has got certificates to show off, mashaAllah has been a teacher also, does not understand what I mean when I say God is One. He does not understand simple things, but amazingly, somehow understands complicated things.

It's really astonishing how people find it difficult to grasp simply things in life and follow blindly the complicated things. Just because we have seen our fore fathers doing it?

"When it is said to them: "Follow what Allah hath revealed:" They say: "Nay! we shall follow the ways of our fathers." What! even though their fathers were void of wisdom and guidance? The parable of those who reject Faith is as if one were to shout like a goat-herd, to things that listen to nothing but calls and cries: Deaf, dumb, and blind, they are void of wisdom." (Qur'aan, 2:170-171)

For example, I say to my dear friend that your Lord and Lord of all is One. Therefore worship Him alone. He finds it difficult to grasp! Whereas what he does? He worships gods (I do not know how many, but for sure they are many in numbers) and yet he tells me that they all are one (though he has not told me so, but that’s what it is said by those who worship many gods and goddesses). There are other set of people who say Trinity. They say God, the Holy Spirit and the only begotten son (read Jesus). They are three but one. Common please! You will drive people crazy. Knock your heart and search your soul and dare to ask yourself which one is more simple and true - One True God, which is all Powerful, the Creator of the heavens and earth and everything that is in between or many gods and goddesses made of clay, which neither can benefit nor harm anyone nor can create a fly? When Islam invites mankind to worship one True God, then it means One True God. Islam means nothing but peace. It also means submission to the Will of God.

My friend further told me that whatever messages you send what’s your in it? It looks like that you just simply copy and paste. I told him you are very true. There is nothing which is mine. What I send you or to others is only and purely from God. There is nothing I add or subtract from it. That's actually what happened to Holy Scriptures that were revealed to prophets (peace be upon them all) before Muhammad (peace be upon him). This is what Qur'aan has to say in this regard;

"Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby." (Qur'aan, 2:79)

I am not at all worthy and qualified enough to take this lofty message of God to mankind, but whatever little I know as a Muslim (i.e., one who submits his will to the Will of God), I have to spread this message far and wide to the best of my capability inshaAllah (God Willing). InshaAllah, there would be many fortunate souls who will accept it and there would also be unfortunate ones, who will reject it. If someone accepts it, it’s by Allah's Grace and if someone rejects it, I will think that there must have been some shortcoming from my side in delivering this Divine message. Even Muhammad's (peace be upon him) duty was only to take this message to mankind. He was not made responsible to guide someone to the True Path. The Guidance truly lies with Allah. He guides whom He wills, but there should be desire within ourselves to be guided on the Path that True and Straight.

It should very well be remembered that Allah does not guide haughty and rebellious people. Unless and until we humble ourselves before our Lord and stop thinking that we are more knowledgeable than God (May God forbid), we can never see the light of knowledge. Who are we by the way? What ground we hold when it comes to knowledge or anything else? To tell you honestly, we are naught. I repeat, we are naught. We know only that much what Allah has made us known.

If He were to take our eye sight, we could do nothing.
If He were to take the power to listen, we could do nothing.
If He were to take the power to smell, we could do nothing.
If He were to take our taste buds, we could do nothing.

What we think we are? A creation of God fashioned from a drop of sperm. A dirty drop, if it is to get on our clothes we wash them because it's dirty and impure. We should look at ourselves what we were and what we are. It is He who has fashioned us thus, so that per chance we may be thankful. Read thus;

"He creates man out of a [mere] drop of sperm: and lo! this same being shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue!" (Qur'aan, 16:4)

"Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created- Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood: Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,- He Who taught (the use of) the pen,- Taught man that which he knew not. Nay, but man doth transgress all bounds, In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient. Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all). Seest thou one who forbids- A votary when he (turns) to pray? Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?- Or enjoins Righteousness? Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?
Knoweth he not that Allah doth see? Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,- A lying, sinful forelock! Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades): We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)! Nay, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer to Allah.!" (Qur'aan, 96:1-19)

"O MEN! If you are in doubt as to the [truth of] resurrection, [remember that,] verily, We have created [every one of] you out of dust, then out of a drop of sperm, then out of a germ-cell, then out of an embryonic lump complete [in itself] and yet incom­plete, so that We might make [your origin] clear unto you. And whatever We will [to be born] We cause to rest in the [mothers’] wombs for a term set [by Us], and then We bring you forth as infants and [allow you to live] so that [some of] you might attain to maturity: for among you are such as are caused to die [in childhood], just as many a one of you is reduced in old age to a most abject state, ceasing to know anything of what he once knew so well. And [if, O man, thou art still in doubt as to resur­rection, consider this:] thou canst see the earth dry and lifeless - and [suddenly,] when We send down waters upon it, it stirs and swells and puts forth every kind of lovely plant!" (Qur'aan, 22:5)

We think, the more a person have degrees and certificates the more knowledgeable he is. True, that could be the definition of knowledge in man made dictionaries but not in the dictionary of God. Real knowledge lies in knowing your Creator, your relationship with Him, your relationship with your fellow beings and last but not the least, why we are here? What's the purpose of life? This is what God has to say about the haughty and the rebellious;

"On the Day of Judgment wilt thou see those who told lies against Allah.- their faces will be turned black; Is there not in Hell an abode for the Haughty?" (Qur'aan, 39:60)

"If only they had believed in Allah, in the Messenger, and in what hath been revealed to him, never would they have taken them for friends and protectors, but most of them are rebellious wrong-doers." (Qur'aan, 5:81)

"As to those who are rebellious and wicked, their abode will be the Fire: every time they wish to get away therefrom, they will be forced thereinto, and it will be said to them: "Taste ye the Penalty of the Fire, the which ye were wont to reject as false." (Qur'aan, 32:20)

Now, having said all, I request you to kindly let me know if you detest such kind of mails from me. I am not going to force the Truth down your throat neither I have the permission from my Lord to do so. Man has been given free will to choose his way.

"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things." (Qur'aan, 2:256)

Please do take care
Warm regards,

HAsan MUhammad ALi

Answering a Christian Missionary (Saint Theresa II)

This the second mail that I exchanged with the Christian missionary regarding Saint Theresa. The subject title (Saint Theresa II) might make you smile, but that's the way it is and it's serious too.

The lady writes thus in her second mail

Dear Hasan,

Thanks for writing to me - i am totally against all these. because I believe in living GOD. My GOD IS STILL ALIVE. He always replies for my prayers, may be it is through a Saint, may be it is through a begger, may be in anyother way - It shows, that he listen to me and my prayers.

I cannot argue with you,i never studied Qur'aan - but dear hasan please understand, Saint Teresa is not a God- but a representative of GOD Like Mohammad. A MESSENGER

when we were children , we never asked our fatherS directly for any permission LIKE AN ESCURTION OR A TRIP - do you??? certainly not. We always use the sources, which is your mother, uncle , Aunt or anybodyelse who is very close to your father WHY?????
because you know may be your father will not agree...or you cannot convice him fully, as your mother can or anybodyelse can... am i right????

here is we are also using a mediater to GOD which through his mother Marry or any Saints. We are Praising GOD - Thanks him and Worship him not the statue of ....... to bringing your mind to GOD we need a Face ... We are not worship the air which is created by GOD... He is the only creature of everything.....

you cannot blame anybody - any religion like that....fianlly you have believe the Fact

JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD- YOU ONLY MENTIONED - MOTHER MARRY DID NOT KNOW ANY MAN,STILL SHE GAVE BIRTH TO JESUS.. HOW CAN SHE THEN GAVE A BIRTH TO CHILD?

THE ANGEL SAID EVERYTHING. is possible by GOD... you also did ,you send me 17 times the same mails to me - so you forwarded it ... and it is with St. Theresa's phot and prayer was there. GOD made to you do so. YOU ARE ONE OF GOD'S SELECTED CHILD.

MAY THE GOD BLESS YOU TO REALISE WHO IS WHO. .. WE WILL BE IN TOUCH LIKE THIS ON THIS MAILS.

I HEARD THAT QU'RAAN MENTIONED MOTHER MARRY'S NAME 3 TIMES. NO OTHER LADY NAME IN THE WHOLE QU'RAAN. IS IT TRUE?

"BIBLE SAYS, WHOEVER REJECT MY MOTHER WILL NOT ENTER INTO ETERNAL LIFE."

Take care

Thanks for your precious time to taken out to read it.
Achamma


My reply to the above mail

Dear lady Achamma,

You are against all this but still you propagate it? No doubt, everybody's God is alive. It is the personal gods that have passed away. You are also true when you say that your God replies. He feeds and heals even those who associate partners unto Him and you are no exception.

God has always bestowed apostleship only on men, not on women. No woman has ever been an apostle. From Adam to Muhammad (peace be upon them all), they all have been men. Your Saint Teresa can't be compared with Muhammad or any other prophet. These apostles were the chosen ones. By the way, on what authority you say that Saint Teresa is a representative of God? I am keen to know that. If you haven't studied Qur'aan, then you should know this last revelation. It's the confirmation of the revelations that went before it.

"This Qur'an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah. on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the worlds." (Qur'aan, 10:37)

You say that Saint Teresa is a representative of God, like Muhammad. If you admit that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a messenger then what's the problem in following him? You see, just being good on lips is not enough. It will not serve any purpose. It should be manifested in our deeds. Actually, manifesting through deeds is more difficult than of course just doing the lip service.

You say that to bring to your mind God, you need face (or in other words statue). Actually, that's the common argument put forth by all those who bow down before lifeless idols, made of clay and stone. I also gave you example of an idol in my previous mail also, but I think you didn't get it. I thought it was only my grasping power, which is weak, but you have left me behind. So why only statue or idol made by man only, if you say that you need a face to bring to your mind God? Why not something natural, made by God Himself. For example, may be horse, frog, pigeon, Lion (but that might scare you), camel, etc. There are so many other animals and things created by God for you to choose from. Or you think you are better sculptor?

Your arguments make me laugh. There is no harm in giving examples, but they should be relevant. For example, here is the one given by you and I quote, "when we were children , we never asked our fatherS directly for any permission LIKE AN ESCURTION OR A TRIP - do you??? certainly not. We always use the sources, which is your mother, uncle , Aunt or anybodyelse who is very close to your father WHY????? because you know may be your father will not agree...or you cannot convice him fully, as your mother can or anybodyelse can... am i right????"

This is what Almighty says for people like you;

And your Lord says: "Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer): but those who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find themselves in Hell - in humiliation!" (Qur'aan, 40:60)

When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way. (Qur'aan, 2:186)

You see, this is the error that many people make, even Muslims, but it has nothing to do with Islam. They make the graves of the saints as places of worship and they say (as you say now) that we worship God only, but we make these pious souls just a medium to reach God. Has God erected any barriers for commoners like me that He can't be approached directly? Just as we have got so much used to paying bribes to get our files moving in the government offices (read India), the same stupid principle we apply in relation to God also.

Even Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised his followers to visit graves, but not to make them a mediator, but rather to supplicate for the departed soul that Allah may forgive his sins and grant him place in the heaven. He even instructed his followers that my grave should not be made a place of assembly. And Muslims do go to Medina to prophet's grave but they only send peace and blessings on him, they do not bow down before him. You see, these are tricks of Satan, our avowed enemy to deviate man from the true path. The only thing that can save us from Satan and his ways is Qur'aan and Sunnah (prophet Muhammad’s way of life) and this is what he bid to his followers in his last sermon, also called the farewell pilgrimage.

I am not blaming any religion, neither I am using any bad language. If I say anything against the prophets or God then you can say that I am blaming or using words, which I shouldn't be using, and I am not so stupid that I will use such words and make myself worthy of Allah's wrath. In fact, the people who associate divinity with Jesus (peace be upon him) or anybody else and reject Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the last prophet are rejecting Commands of Allah. It looks like, as if they are saying that look God! We have devised a better way of life than the one You kept sending through your messengers and the one that culminated with Muhammad (peace be upon him).

You see, there is something very typical I have seen in Christians, specially missionaries. You also seem like one. Ask what? And it's that no matter how crystal clear you make things to them, but somehow they twist and turn and change the meaning of things. The same thing they do with the word trinity also to prove it as one. They say the Father, the Holy Ghost/Spirit and the son (Jesus) are three but one. But when asked to explain, they give stupid examples to prove their point. But Islam teaches us that your God is One, absolutely one. For example, when I raise my one finger, it's one finger. If you try to make fault with it by saying anything other than one, then it means that something is wrong with you. You need a thorough check up, specially of your brain and heart. It's not only limited with fingers only, it goes beyond that. It's backed up by deeds. We pray only to one God. But as said, earlier, those Muslims who make graves of saints as places of prostration are doing against the teachings of Islam. It has nothing to do with Islam. But a Christian missionary raises his 3 fingers and gets down to start explaining and proving that these 3 fingers that you see are 3 but one. Please spare us. Please go to poor guys give them money and purchase their beliefs. I, on the other hand, am not asking you to bow down before Muhammad (peace be upon him). I am inviting you worship none but God and believe in all the prophets and all the revelations. Islam is an Arabic word, it means nothing but peaceful submission to the will of Allah. And I do not bribe you with material things, on the contrary, I warn you that look brother, it’s not easy to walk on Path that is True and Straight. It has never been. When you walk in the way of Allah, He for sure will test you. If you pass, the test, then you are a true believer. I also do not invite you to accept Islam blindly. I invite you to use your brain and heart and decide for yourself without any prejudice. If you find it True, accept it. If you do not, Allah is well above all wants. He neither needs you nor me. If you bow down before God, it’s for your own benefit. Neither you are doing any favour to me nor to God.

Coming to your/missionaries special ability to decipher meanings, in other words, to twist and turn the meanings, you say that I accept Jesus (peace be upon him) as son of God. I most humbly, would like to ask you where did I say so (both in this mail and my earlier mail)? You see Achamma, I need to remind you about something. You are not against me, you are up against Almighty and His religion and that's why Islam means peaceful submission to the will of Allah. What does Christianity mean by the way? Anyways. I am a Muslim and lying is haraam (impermissible) for me. Whereas for missionaries like you, lying is just a game. The God is very well aware of the tricks of the missionaries like you and that's why wherever He has mentioned the name of Jesus (peace be upon him), He has used the suffix "son of Mary". So the question doesn't arise of me saying Jesus is the son of God. You got to be honest; Jesus (peace be upon him) was amongst the honest. First you need to learn honesty.

It seems like you have not read my mail fully. You say and I quote, "Jesus is the son of God – you only mentioned – mother Marry did not know any man, still she gave birth to Jesus.. How can she then gave a birth to child"?

To answer to your question how she gave birth to Jesus (peace be upon him), when no man had ever touched him, this is what I quoted in my mail, which you didn't have the courage to face it.

She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is! And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel" (Qur'aan, 3:47&48)

I explain to you the meaning of the above verse, if your English is weak (which I believe is) because you are failing every now and then to understand simple things. When Mary (may Allah be pleased be her) said to angel that how can she have a child when no man ever touched him, the angel replied that Allah creates what He Wills. When He wills a plan he says to it "Be" and "There it Is".

You say, I quote, "I heard that Qur'aan mentioned mother Marry's name 3 times. No other lady name in the whole Qur'aan. Is it true?"

I can't say whether it's 3 times or what, but I believe it's most probably more than 3 times and if I am not wrong, then Jesus's (peace be upon him) name has been mentioned in Qur'aan more than Muhammad's (peace be upon him) name. I will tell you more, if you do not know about Mary (may Allah be pleased with her) as a Christian. I quote few verses for you here;

“And Lo! The angels said: "O Mary! Behold, God has elected thee and made thee pure, and raised thee above all the women of the world. (Qur'aan, 3:42)

“And [remember] her who guarded her chastity, whereupon We breathed into her of Our spirit and caused her, together with her son, to become a symbol [of Our grace] unto all people.” (Qur'aan, 21:91)

“And [as We exalted Moses, so, too,] We made the son of Mary and his mother a symbol [of Our grace], and provided for both an abode in a lofty place of lasting restfulness and unsullied springs. “ (Qur'aan, 23:50)

Please do not tell me what Bible says. It's gone corrupt beyond recognition. I will inshaAllah quote you few verses from the Bible in my next mail and will ask you then, can these be the words of God. But that's for the next mail.

I would like to make humble suggestion to you. You should at least add the suffix "peace be upon him/her" when you take the name of Jesus, Mary or any other prophet, out of nothing but reverence. You do not feel ashamed by taking their names callously, but you are ready to bow down before them. This is nothing but sheer hypocrisy.

All praise be to Allah! You say, I quote, "you also did you send me 17 times the same mails to me - so you forwarded it ... and it is with St. Theresa's phot and prayer was there. GOD made to you do so. You are one of God's selected child."

Reading your above lines, make me smile. But I will make a slight correction here. Yes, God did make me spread His message through you. Allah doesn't depend on me or Muslims or anyone else. He is to make His religion prevail over all others; this is the decree of thy Lord, no matter how much the non-believers dislike it. As for "God selected child", I do feel that Allah has blessed me with something so precious and that is the wealth of Eemaan (Faith). It's better than the heavens and the earth and everything in that is in between them.

I warn you of a severe punishment that awaits those who reject faith.

"Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin most heinous indeed."
(Qur'aan, 4:48)

In the end I humbly invite you to Islam so that you may prosper and save yourself from the eternal hell fire.

"If anyone desires religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him." (Qur'aan, 3:85)

May God bless you and please take care
In the service of mankind,
Hasan

P.S.: The text in green is a later addition. I have also corrected few mistakes here and there, which I made in my original mail. I have not marked them green because they are not addition, but correction. Though the lady wrote in her mail that she will be in touch through mails, but I am yet to receive any mail from her concerning whatever we exchanged through couple of mails. I cannot help, but quote a verse from Qur'aan in this regard.

And say: "Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish." (Qur'aan, 17:81)

About the Blog

Assalaamualaikum (May peace be on you all).

The main purpose of writing this blog is nothing but to spread Love & Truth. If we want to make this world a better place to live in, then the truth must prevail over falsehood and love should be spread instead of hatred. This is only possible when falsehood is rejected and truth is accepted. Now the big question is how do we accertain what is truth and what is faslehood? How do we judge between right and wrong because everybody claims to be following the truth, including me?

It is also very important to mention here that if some lie is propogated as a truth over and over again , it does not become a truth. It stays what it is, that is a lie, but unfortunately, it comes to be accepted as truth. Allah has blessed every man with a heart and a mind to differentiate between right and wrong. Fro example, if someone tells me that your so and so friend says that you are a big lier. Now, if I have little sense, I will not believe him and utter any bad word for my friend till I have found out from my friend whether did he really say so, If yes, then why? No matter, if the whole world comes and tells me that your friend has said such a thing, I should not believe it till I have finally spoken to him and ascertained the truth. But in our times, we do not have time to find the truth. We are too busy earning and eating! That's the be all and end all of all our activities. If this is our way of life then I am very sorry to say that there is no difference between an animal and a human. That was not the purpose of creation of man. In fact man is God's best creation. Everything has been created for man and man has been created for God, meaning to worship none but Him and follow His Commands that came to us through His messengers, so that we may lead a happy and peaceful life and be successful. Now if this best of God's creation stoops down before lifeless idols, stones, trees and what not, besides his Master and Creator, then its really pity.

Some of us form opinions based on our experiences and knowledge and some amazingly on just hearsay. The latter seems to be leading the way, which is a very dangerous sign for entire humanity. There no doubt knowledge and experience help us a great deal, but if the knowledge that we gain has not come from authentic source, then this is very dangerous. For example, why is it that we worship different things and objects, but yet we proclaim that our God is one? Some say that just as a light passes through a prism it manifests different colours, in the same way God is one but He manifests Himself in different forms and shapes. Sounds very convincing and great, but is that really true? If so, then why is it that when the so called God takes the form of human, as some people believe (though they do not have any proof) becomes so weak and feeble? He is driven and punished by His own slaves. Whereas, what we know about God is that He has power over all things.

In the same way, when any unfortunate incidence takes place, we form our opinions based on the infromation we are fed upon by media. Whereas we all are very well aware that revealing the truth is no more the purpose of media. It has become a thorough profession. There are many unfortunate incidences which happened in the recent past and changed the complexion of the world we live in forever. Had the media stood up and brought forth the truth, the situation would not have become so bad as it is now. On the contrary, it potrayed the criminals and mischief mongers as heroes.

Therefore, the main purpose of writing this blog is to propogate the truth, be it about God or about the current world scenario. But my top priority is to bring man closer to God and make him realise that he will be made accountable for his each and every deed. He will not go unaccounted for. God is all watching. When this belief is instilled in man, inshaAllah he will be able to safeguard himself from activities which are harmful both for himself and the society.

As far as propagating the truth about God is concerned, I have totally relied upon the uncorrputed Book of God, that is Qur'aan. And for bringing truth to the fore concerning the incidences which totally changed our outlook towards one another for worst, I have used unbiased investigations made by honest people. It is totally up to the readers to judge and form their opinions.

In the end, I humbly request the respected readers to read this blog without any prejudice and pre concieved notions. InshaAllah, Allah will guide us all to the truth to make this world a better place to live in, both for ourselves and for the generation to come.

Hasan Muhammad Ali
