The doors of Excess

October 15, 2017 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

Excessiveness of all types is frowned upon, especially the following six:

Ibn Al-Qayyim mentioned that Shaitaan achieves his aim from the son of Aadam through six doors; and they are:

1. The excesses of food.

2. The excesses of speech.

3. The excesses of socialising/mixing with the people.

4. The excesses of sight.

5. The excesses of hearing.

6. The excesses of sleep.

Analyse your life today in light of these 6 points and make the necessary changes required now.

As long as we are breathing, it’s never too late for quantum change and the achievement of the greatest paradise.

Declaring another believer an innovator

October 15, 2017 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

Assalamualaikum everyone…

Introduction

The religion of Islam as completed by the final Messenger, Muhammed (SAW), is an entire way of life. Everything we do is Islam. The way we worship, eat, put on our clothes, removes our clothes, work and play is Islam. Even the way we treat other people is Islam!

For something to be everything; it natrually needs to be balanced and always upon a middle path statically.

The issue

During my journey calling towards the middle way in our affairs; I have unfortunately come across individuals who have taken it upon themselves to criticise the beliefs of other believers. They proclaim an individual to be an innovator in religion and fail to find inner peace and contentment until they do everything in their capacity to expose the supposed perpetrator. This unfortunate reality is further emphasized when individuals from the general public declare war against an Islamic propgator (daa’i), student of knowledge (taalib ilm) or scholar (sheikh).

Why unfortunately? Isn’t due criticism the middle way!? Isn’t innovation in the religion frowned upon and forbidden is Islam?

Well YES and NO…

NO- when the criticism is void of following due diligence and the established guidelines in Islam.

YES- when the criticism is based on established paramters and guidelines. The keyword here being ‘established’.

Islam being a middle way and a complete way of life, has without doubt, listed for us *clearly* the rules and regulations before a conclusion of any kind can be declared upon the believers.

Only the best!

Assalamualaikum everyone.

Remember my vision of

‘ignited communities that benefit humanity’!?

I came across this link that truly shows what this ummah can be!

May Allah grant these people ikhlaas and make them jannah builders on earth whilst they work towards making the world a better place!

Remember my message to you all. Don’t just be a lawyer, or engineer, or doctor or any other professional! Be the BEST!

And look like a muslim, and showcase your religion doing so!

You were created by Allah, and believe in Him! You can achieve anything you want to achieve and go anywhere you’d love to go!

Dream big, and keep your dreams filled with action.

Waffaqakumullah
