Pass Hasana's- Blessings to your family and friends

Once a man was walking and he read this written on a wall:

'Qull huwa Allah hu ahad,
Allah hu samad,
Lam yalid WA lam youlad,
Wa lam yakoun lahu koufwan ahad'

Say that God is One
God the everlast
Does't give birth and is not born
and has no family ties.

So he sat and read it, while he was reading it a man was watching him and
Came to him and said 'Do you know that you have got at least 470 hasana's
(Blessings) just for reading this!
The person who wrote this on the wall also got 470 hasana's;
Even I got 470 hasana's just for writing this mail;
Even you got (who is reading this ) 470 hasana's.

When there is only a single star left in the sky.
At that very moment, the path of forgiveness will close.
The writing in the Quran will vanish.
The sun will lower itself with the earth.

Prophet Muhammad saw said, 'Who ever delivers this news to someone else,
I will on the Day of Judgement make for him a place in Jannat.'

Write the same ayat in a comment, this way every visitor will read as many as possible from different people, therefor spreading hasana's in all directions Insha'Allah

Jazakon Allah Khair wa Sallam Alaykum w.r w.b

Justice in The Quran

In the name of god the most gracious most mercyful
Bism Allah Alrahman Alraheem

"If you do judge, judge between them justly.God loves the just" Quran 5:42

The true justice described in the Quran commands man to behave justly, not discriminating between people, protecting others rights and not permitting violence, no matter the circumstances, to side with the oppressed against the oppressor and to help the needy. This justice calls for the rights of both parties to be pretected when reaching a decision in dispute, assessing all aspects of an incident, setting aside all prejudices, being objective, honest, tolerant, merciful and compassionate.

In the events one fails to display any of these characteristics or attaches greater importance to a particular one, then it becomes hard to exercise true justice. We must seek justice and set all personal feelings aside , we need to treat all parties with justice when they ask for our help. A person should incorporate the values of the Quran into ones soul in such a way that he may be able to consider the interests of others parties before his own and maintain justice, even if this harms his own interests

O You who believe! show integrity for the sake of god, bearing witness with justice. Do not let hatres for a people incite you into not being just. Be just. That is closer to faith. Heed god (alone).God is aware of what you do. Quran 5:8

As this verse suggests, God knows everything a man does, one who fears god and who is aware of that will have to account for his deeds on the Day of judgment, Any Muslim who knows the Quran knows this .

The Quran teaches all Muslims to put an extra effort to put their selfish desires aside and adopt the guidance of justice and compassion, tolerance and peace. God in the Quran gives a detailed description of the true justice in the Quran and informs us that all sorts of disagreements can be solved by the maintenance of justice, In a society made of righteous administrators and just peoples, it is obvious that all problems can be easily over come .

lets look at this verse which is so powerful in my eyes the verse reads

O Mankind! We created you from a male and female and made you into people and tribes so that you might come to know each other, the noblest among you in gods sight is the one of you who best performs his duty(towards mankind). God is all knowing , all aware. Quran 49:13

this verse clearly teaches that all humanity is one family and that the difference in races ect is not to differentiate who is better the who , but simply to get to know each other, the prophet ( pbuh) also said An Arab has no superiority over a none Arab ,nor a none Arab has superiority over an Arab,also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has superiority over a white except by piety and good actions.

There are so many more verses and examples of the teachings of Islam to its followers to uphold justice, stand up for the oppressed, to speak the truth even against ones own family and relatives.

Beheadings in Islam

There are two mentioning of beheadings in the Quran.

Chapter 47:3 says “When you encounter the unbelievers on the battlefield, strike off their heads until you have crushed them completely; then bind the [surviving] prisoners tightly.” Chapter 8:12 states “I will cast dread into the hearts of the unbelievers. Strike off their heads, then, and strike off all of their fingertips.

To say Islam and the Quran support and commands Muslims to behead unbelievers is really out of tone with the Quranic teachings in regards to innocent people as is none militant ones.

Accourding to Islam, humanity is the result of Adam and Eve, so lets see what the Quran speaks in regards to the children of Adam and Eve.

17: 70 And indeed Allah (God) has honored the Children of Adam, and Allah (God) carried them on land and sea, and has provided them with At-Taiyibât (lawful good things), and has preferred them above many of those whom He has created with a marked preference.

The Quran clearly commands in verse in Chapter 2:190

Fight in the Cause of Allah, those who fight you, but Dont transgress. Allah DOESN'T LOVE transgressors.

Lets bring this very important verse to light Chapter 76:8-11

And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and THE CAPTIVE OF WAR.
Say( Muslims ) : We only fear a day of distressful wrath from the side of our lord. Lo, Allah will deliver them from the evil of that day, and will shed over them a light of beauty and joy.

Chapter.2:112

But FORGIVE THEM, and overlook (their misdeeds). Verily, Allah loves the good¬doers.

Chapter 7:199 Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and TURN AWAY FROM the FOOLISH (i.e. don't punish them).

An Example of Allah's Mercy in the Quran

Say: 'O My servants who have transgressed against your own souls: do not despair of God's mercy,
for God forgives all sins. It is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'
Qur'an (39:53)

More Quranic verses in regards to mercy and love>

Islam condemns violence against the innocent, and the QURANIC teachings are much deeper then two verses, that all people will be held accountable for their actions.

Life and Death are STRICTLY given by Allah and ONLY Allah has the right to decide who stays and who goes.

Islam orders Muslims to fight those who transgress against them and never supported war through force.

Islam means to submit to Allah and Allah teaches us in the Quran to submit to Allah's will and to try and not force the issue.

You can look at all the verses you want, but over all the message is clear and killing unjustly will have its punishment according to Allah, and a very strict law to break when it comes to the value of human beings.

The Quran also makes a clear case for the prophet Mohammad (pbuh) as well

And it was by God`s grace that thou [O Prophet] didst deal gently with thy followers: for if thou hadst been
harsh and hard of heart, they would indeed have broken away from thee` (3:159).

How does the Quran command Muslims to spread Islam truly ?

`Call thou [all mankind] unto thy Sustainer`s path with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and argue with them in the most kindly manner`
(16:125).

This might blow the minds of Muslim critics at HOW IMPORTANT MERCY IS TO ALLAH, in this verse here clearly Allah stats in chapter 6:12 He [Allah] has inscribed [prescribed] for himself (the rule of) mercy.

Its of extreme importance of the act of mercy in Islam, because Allah tells us in this verse that Mercy is inscribed into his law and its a law on ALLAHS to show MERCY to all creation,

What Does Islam say about beheadings?

That is a good question

To answer it simply, well its against Islam to kill a defenseless man, or a person who posses no threat to you.

There are two mentioning of beheadings in the Quran.

Chapter 47:3 says “When you encounter the unbelievers on the battlefield, strike off their heads until you have crushed them completely; then bind the [surviving] prisoners tightly.” Chapter 8:12 states “I will cast dread into the hearts of the unbelievers. Strike off their heads, then, and strike off all of their fingertips.

Muslim must be more more mercyfull with all of Allahs creation and specifically the children of Adam and Eve. Allah commands this mercy, and for a Muslim to love Allah they must be mercy full.

Islam is against acts of terror and unjust actions. Before you judge the moment, judge the teachings, and the Quran commands good and Just actions and commands to never be among the unjust and evil doers.

Islam, AlQuran and slavery

To answer this question, it should first be remarked that Islam has tolerated slavery but has never approved of it, and that all its teachings and prescriptions in this regard lead to its alleviation as far as possible in the short term, and, in the longer term, conduce to its progressive suppression. To abolish it would have been impossible in a world in which it was generally practiced by all the states which bordered on the new Muslim empire, and in which the idea of challenging the principle itself had not occurred to anyone. It was the custom to enslave prisoners of war -- when these were not simply massacred -- and the Islamic state would have put itself at a grave disadvantage vis-a-vis its enemies had it not reciprocated to some extent. By guaranteeing them humane treatment, and various possibilities of subsequently releasing themselves, it ensured that a good number of combatants in the opposing armies preferred captivity at the hands of Muslims to death on the field of battle.

It should be very clearly underlined that the slavery once practiced in the Muslim world cannot be compared to the form it had assumed -- for instance -- in the Roman Empire. Islamic legislation subjected slaveowners to a set of precise obligations, first among which was the slave's right to life, for, according to a hadith, 'Whoever kills his slave shall be killed by us'. In consequence, the murder of a slave was punished like that of a free man.

There are many other hadiths which define Islam's true attitude in this regard. The Prophet said: 'Your slaves are your brethren; therefore whoever has a brother who depends upon him must feed and clothe him in the way he feeds and clothes himself; and should not impose upon him tasks which exceed his capacity; should you ask them to do such things, then you are obliged to help them.' The Sharia takes this injunction, among many others, into account when defining the responsibilities and duties of slaveholders.

There is another teaching which enjoins respect for the human dignity of slaves: 'Let none of you say, "This man, or this woman, is my slave". He must rather say: "This is my man, and this my woman."' Putting into relief the provisional character of social ties and the authority exercised by slaveowners over their slaves, the Prophet said: 'It is true that God has made you their masters, but, had He so wished, He could equally well have made you their slaves.'

To manumit a slave has always been regarded as one of the most meritorious of all acts, and many passages of the Qur'an recommend or even require it, particularly as a means of expiation for serious faults. Traditional legislation lays down the methods of voluntary liberation of slaves by their masters (itq), and there were very many Muslims who observed these, especially at the end of their lives, so as not to die and appear before God without having given full freedom to the human beings placed in their power during their earthly lives.

Additionally, slaves had the ability to enfranchise themselves at their own initiative, without waiting passively for the goodwill of their masters: the procedure known as mukataba allowed them to buy their own freedom with sums which they saved from their work, and which the state frequently augmented with advances -- a measure which the slaveowner had no right to oppose. In contrast to the situation under Roman law, slaves were not deprived of the legal ability to exercise their rights and to appeal to a judge against their masters in all cases of illegal treatment.

Besides domestic slavery, which was generally imbued with a patriarchal character, there also existed a form of military slavery, which was frequently employed by princes in need of recruits, especially for their personal guards. This situation had the effect of conferring an often considerable influence and power on men of servile condition or origin, and some of these became the founders of great and illustrious dynasties such as the Tulunids and Mamlukes of Egypt.

The object of a prosperous commercial sector, which under the Abbasid Empire was often the speciality of non-Muslims, particularly Byzantine and Venetian Christians, and Jews, slavery gradually declined in importance until, at the beginning of the present century, it was confined to a few survivals which have now disappeared entirely. Thanks to the strict traditional controls which have always regulated the practice, it would be difficult to deny that social conditions were remarkably humane during the great periods of Muslim civilization, and that these, moreover, were in conformity with the 'egalitarian' spirit of Islam, which, in a hadith, teaches that 'the blackest of Abyssinians' is superior to most noble of Quraishites, if he has more faith. -- p. 104 - 107
