Muslims Prayed For Rain in Australia and Now It is Raining in Australia

0

As we all are aware, the bushfire incident of Australia’s forest was getting worse and more dangerous as the days were being passed including the death of millions of animals of the zoo such as Kangaroos, Koalas, Lions, Bears and Tigers, and many more other animals. Moreover, it didn’t rain in Australia for the last 5 months.

Approximately, a crowd of 50 to 60 people; including women and children offered Salah at Bonython Park located in Adelaide, Australia. Patrick Mclnerney, the Christian Head Priest belonging from the center for Muslim and Christian relations also reached the park where Muslims were worshipping and stated, we united with our brothers and sisters to pray to God for His mercy in the way of rainfall for Australia.

A video of Muslims worshipping together got spread on every social media platform. And the amazing fact is that, according to a report, it started raining in Australia which would be highly helpful to cool down the bush fires and to provide relief to all the animals and humans suffering from the consequences of the deadly fire.

A lot of people reported that they were facing problems in breathing due to the spread of smoke filled with pollution in the atmosphere.

Many asthmatic people already left Australia due to the toxic and polluted air and many had to go to the hospital due to lungs and breathing problems and severe asthmatic issues.

Thus, our belief on Allah got more and more strong, for sure He answers our prayers if done with belief and a pure heart.

We are very glad about sharing this update with you and request you to pray for the whole Muslim Ummah as; the Muslims present in the Asian countries and the Middle East countries are suffering a lot and stuck within their life and death.

A BLOODSHED IN THE HOME OF ISLAM – Abu Mazeedatulkhayr Bn Sa’eed

0

Major General Sulaimani has been killed. That’s no news. A General’s soul is proud to be liquidated in a battle. My concern is our jaundiced perception of the whole issue. I have heard Muslims celebrate his brutal end in the hands of Trump. I have also seen Muslims empathize with Iran for losing a lion.

But I have not heard any Muslim express his worry about the consequence of this tension. Trump is not, in any way, interested in fighting Iran. His ultimate goal is to put the whole region in flame and set it ablaze. After all, it is the common blood of the believers that will flow.

Iran has already promised a severe revenge, which threat has put the entire US military bases across the Middle East on high alert. As we all know, The United States “has gotten” tens of thousands of military personnel at bases and aboard ships across the Middle East.

There are also ongoing arrangements with various Muslim countries in the region to move soldiers and military equipment through their airstrips and ports. In Iraq alone, there is an estimated 6,000 troops stationed across the country, including the Green Zone, Baghdad’s walled-off diplomatic area, and at al-Asad Air Base.

Thus, as at now, tensions are extremely high in Iraq, which is stuck in the middle of the U.S – Iranian faceoff. Didn’t you see that, by Friday, the American State Department had ordered all the US citizens to leave the country? Then, on Saturday, rockets had started flying in the Green Zone and the Balad airbase of Iraq.

Even if the US would not disclose the number of troops stationed in Syria, analysis shows that nothing less than 800 heavily armed men are yet in the country after the Trump administration had abruptly withdrawn some soldiers in October.

Thus, the U.S. garrison at Tanf, by the Syrian – Jordanian border, is now one potential flash point, because the Iranian and Iranian-backed forces are also deployed nearby. Also, in the oil rich Arab land of Kuwait, the United States has about 13,000 military personnel spread around several bases in the tiny land, according to the Congressional Research Service.

The United States and the Arab land of Kuwait have both retained a Defense Cooperation Agreement since the 1991 Persian Gulf War. But Jordan — bordering Iraq, Syria, Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, as well as Saudi Arabia — is a more strategically located U.S. ally. Its Muwaffaq Salti Air Base was an important launching point in the battle against the Islamic State, and there are plans to upgrade the complex.

As we all know, Saudi Arabia is an important; and perhaps, the most reliable crucial ally of the vampire – There is as much as an estimated 3,000 American troops in that country. In October last year, the United States announced that it was sending an additional troop to the kingdom as tensions with Iran continued to escalate.

Bahrain also hosts a U.S. Navy base, where several thousand of personnel are stationed. This island nation is a close ally of Saudi Arabia and has always supported Trump’s aggressive stance towards Iran. Let’s not also forget that Bahrain had also suppressed a Shiite uprising in 2011, putting her further at odds with the Iranian government.

In Oman is about 600 heavily equipped troops. In March last year, Muscat signed a deal allowing the U.S. planes and warships to use some of her airstrips and ports. More important, Oman is along the Arabian Peninsula near the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important oil chokepoint. This is also where the United States and Iran have been engaged in oil tanker standoffs, for months.

The United Arab Emirates is another country near the Strait of Hormuz which has been part of the tanker confrontations. It has hosted as many as 5,000 American troops in recent years and this luxurious nation of Zayed is traditionally allied with Saudi Arabia and the United States.

But the rising tensions in the region have put the UAE on edge, and it has taken a somewhat more conciliatory approach to Iran in recent months. Here is a wise nation that knows how to play her international politics with diplomatic maturity, unlike the Kingdom of the son of Salman, that only enjoys to savour the pleasure of his diplomatic mediocrity, all the time.

Qatar is home to al-Udeid, the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East. In 2018, this tiny Bedouin Arab nation proudly announced a $1.8 billion plan to upgrade the base. The move came as Qatar was battling a blockade by her mischievous rivals – Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Why are these American military bases scattered here, in the Muslim world?

It is simply for the protection of Israel. How will you then expect those Muslim nations to bravely take a collective decision in favour of Palestine. Also, why is America fighting Iran? It is equally for the same reason. The United States has no business abhorring Shiism.

Saddaam had paid the ultimate price, for daring to threaten the Jewish state. Syria is already paying for it. But Saudi Arabia and Egypt are diplomatic gentlemen of the region. They cooperate with the vampire and her Jewish baby; and thus, Al-Aqsa is sold to protect the thrones of their leaders, while the “notorious” lions – the Ikhwaanis – that roared for the honour of Islam and the pride of Quds are either in prisons or underneath the earth.

The cowardly forces of all of these American bases, and probably more, will certainly confront the obstinate Iran. As we all know, Trump is mentally sick, which does not allow him to always think right in matters of the Muslim affair. Iran also suffers a creedal ailment, a disease she had inherited from the historical event of Karbalah; that creedal ailment that had always spurred her citizens to go for self-annihilation in the hands of a brutal enemy who is willing to kill.

What is then the implications of this imminent bloodshed?

The United States will definitely fly her dangerous hawks in a conventional war and probably turn Iran to ashes. But if Iran chose to defend herself in a conventional war tactics, thousands of her sympathetic militiamen scattered in different countries of the region will only engage the Yankee troops in a guerilla warfare, which America war strategists may fail to withstand.

In each of these Mid-Eastern nations are thousands of Shites. If you knock my head and I can’t match your strength, I’ll definitely hit your friends and brothers amongst my mates. Saudi Arabia and Israel should therefore prepare for the worst. Of course, these two nations are also heavily equipped and they’ll not fold their arm and arms for the Shite Iran.

The embattled Assad of Syria, even with her own challenge of distress and stupidity, may also reciprocate the good gestures of Iran by standing for her. Hizbollah’s Nasrallah has already vowed a revenge. All the defence pacts between Iran and Russia may also come to bear on the volatile region.

The Muslim world is thus in flame…

This had occurred in previous decades, more than once in our recent history – all for the creation and protection of the Jewish state. Shortly before the world war 1, in the conspiratorial game plan for the creation of Israel, the Sheriff of Makkah, king Hussein Bn Alli, was stupefied by the British Lord Macmahon who had deceptively promised him the Hashemite kingdom of his dream.

He was then instigated against the Sultan of the Ottoman empire, who himself had foolishly gone the way of the Germans. At that turbulent era, Muslims had fought the war in the sandy land of Hijaz, on behalf of both Britain and Germany; and the common bloodshed in the region was that of the believers.

This was not any different from that of the Iraqi-Iran war of the early 80s, in which all the nations in the region were actively involved. Aside from the streams of blood that flowed into ocean and competed with the red Sea, the collective wealth of the Muslim Ummah was heavily squandered, as the US and USSR returned home smiling with the highly lucrative sales of their war equipment.

Today, in a similar way, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran are spending hugely to finance the Muslim militia who slaughter the Syrian Muslims in the name of fighting Bashar, while the US and Russia are making so much money, selling their dangerous weapons to the stupid buyers to fight a foolish leader called Bashar who haughtily presides over a dead nation.

Why must you always provoke a bloodshed in the land of Islam? To weaken the Ummah…? To strengthen Israel…? To squander the Muslim wealth or distract the ever spirited Muslim youths from the path of honour? Here is a question begging for an urgent response!

GIVE HIM AN EXCUSE By Sanni Kay Yusuf

0

If there is any disease more terminable than ebola, it is that of the mind, such as jealousy, hate for no tenable reason, and of course, suspicion – interpreting an action beyond the intent of its actor.

Suspicion is when you blend together many cubes of sugar, a handful of salt, several rolls of alum and some teaspoonful of honey to take just one cup of coffee. What do you have in the end? Poison! And if you take it, you will have ended up taking your own life by your own self.

Suspicion means making saddening, sickening, perplexing sense out of every action. It is to always see what is done to you as bad, even where the intention of the doer is not known.

Suspicion makes one insecure such that one becomes paranoid – a pathological disorder where the sufferer trusts no one, including his/her spouse, parents, children etc. Suspicion makes one see friends as foes and one ends up entrusting his life with foe-like friends.

Professionally, one way to identify a victim of this disorder is when he claims to know ALL about someone’s behaviour at first sight or encounter. How possible? Because he reads meanings into every single word or step taken by the person, whereas the intent behind such words or steps are healthy.

How can you confidently claim to know ALL about someone on just one encounter? When did you start having a share in Allah’s unequalled qualities? You had better come back to your senses before you unknowingly find yourself in the pit of shirk.

Suspicion irreparably dents friendship. It irredeemably destroys family ties. It unsolvably damages the society. It injuriously charters organisational oneness. It lamentably changes love into loss. Suspicion breeds enmity and waxes it stronger.

Suratul Hujuraat also known as Suratul Akhlaaq which addresses societal ills has a verse that encapsulates all about suspicion. Allah says:

(يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ ۖ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا يَغْتَبْ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا ۚ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَحِيمٌ)

“O you who have believed, avoid suspicion; indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another… And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful.” (Qur’aan 49 Verse 12)

Based on the above, it is deducible that a suspicious person will backbite. In fact, he will slander or even libel. A suspicious fellow is likely to insight people against the suspected one. He/she may, though unknowingly, break up the mosque, the office, the school, the family or the society at large. Indeed, suspicion is demonically worse than ebola!

Professionally noting, once again, no human born of a woman, aside the special ones, such as the Prophets and the Messengers, is suspicion-free. Everyone has at least an atom of the disorder in his person. However, one way to tame it from destroying one’s hereafter is to give people benefit of the doubt. No matter how true your suspicion may likely be, you should always say “maybe he/she didn’t mean it that way”.

FIDAU By Sanni Kay Yusuf

An aged woman passed on. Circumstantially, burial rites could only be done the next day. Only a few were seen gathered for the last spiritual respect she deserved. The rows of lovers who prayed unto the lifeless body were too small compared to the fame the deceased’s family was known with. But excruciatingly, attendees at the fidau – the third day – were teeming and numberless.

Islam emphasizes participation in the bathing and rapping of a Muslim corpse, yet many run away from the unquantifiably rewardable act, and inclusive are children of the deceased. This may be due to what is seen in home videos where corpses, in white raps, rise frighteningly from their graves with their faces painted in same colour, and in their hands long canes flow. Fidau or burial ceremony is rather their focus.

Islam encourages Muslims to partake in Salaatul Janaazah (prayer unto the dead), the reward for which is inestimably high, yet people (family and friends) are hardly seen on the rows, whereas their presence, activeness are usually felt at the so-called fidau.

Accompanying the dead to the grave is another greatly recommended act to be covetously embraced by Muslims. Being a part of their lowering into the grave and their covering with sand are phenomena that are worth leaving office work or merchandise for. Muslims of today lose all these for a fidau that comes with no reward. Did I hear you say no? Then you’ve got to factually prove it from the Qur’an and the Sunnah!

What is fidau, and what traceable source has it in Sharee’ah?

Many died during the lifetime of the holy Prophet and there was no fidau done for them. The Prophet lost his beloved wife – Khadeejah – and six out of the seven children of his, he never considered fidau worthy for them. Could it be inferred that he – the Prophet – didn’t truly love his wife and children?

If special prayer for the dead on the 3rd, 8th, 21st or 41st day of their death were significant, the sahabah would have been the first to do it for the Prophet, or at least for one another. If nothing of such happened in the history of Islam, how then did the shame rear its ugly head on us? Someone should prove it and tell us the amount of reward partakers stand to get.

The claim that it is prayer (or that Qur’an recitation is rendered therein) holds no water. The point is, if it was anything to go by, it would have been exemplified by our models – the Prophet and his companions. After all, they understood the holy Book and its workings better.

Fidau is just one commercial venture actuated by our fathers of yore who were largely shortchanged by mosque handlers. To their imamship duties they received no remuneration. And like child-birth ceremony, nikaah etc., fidau was created to get money to sustain themselves, their wives and children. It couldn’t have been accepted as a worthwhile phenomenon if it was not attached to the religion, hence the recitation of Qur’an. May Allah overlook the shortcomings of our forefathers and grant them Jannah!

What kind of du’a – in this regard – can be greater than Salaatul Janaazah, as commanded by Allah and His Apostle? What kind of invocation can be better than a child’s daily prayers for his deceased parents? What kind of prayers can be more rewarding than a charity done in the name of a gone father, mother etc.?

Let’s stick to the Islam of our forebears!

2019 last minute Da’wah to Okada rider – Bashir Lucas Samson Lukman

So, I stopped this bike man to take me home not knowing that I would have the opportunity for a last minute Da’wah for the year 2019 of the Gregorian Calendar.

We passed by a Masjid I avoid as much as I could. Once I had visitors that came to visit me and they started to argue of it was a Mosque or mosque given the pulpit and drums. Today, they are gathered again in white clothing, drumming and singing. I hissed out loud and said, “rubbish”.

My utterance came to the Okada man as a shock or maybe he was not shocked. It was dark, my beards were not noticeable as it was dark where he picked me up, “he is a Marlian”, he must have thought.

He asked me why it was rubbish, so, I asked him if it wasn’t rubbish. “What is their business? What are they celebrating”, I asked him. He started to explain why we need to thank God for a new year to my disagreement. I didn’t refute him yet, so, he said, “oga, be seated there o” to mean I am not in the know, not moving with the world or anything closer meaning it could connote. A native speaker of the Yoruba language will understand.

 

When we got home, I engaged him before he left. I asked, “are you a Muslim or a Christian?”. He said he is a Muslim to my happiness. I said, Christians celebrating the new year are doing, “rada” while Muslims doing so are doing, “radarada”

I took some time to explain to him the root of the celebration. By then, he knew he was the one that is “seated there”. I reminded him of the Islamic Calendar and that it is not even necessary to celebrate the new year. Meanwhile, how many non-Muslims celebrate it?

 

Also, there is no evidence that the Prophet (pbuh), his companions or the pious predecessors celebrated anything of such. We are just seriously unserious.

 

What are you celebrating? When it is 12am, would there be lightning or thunder or anything that will signify a change of year? If you wish to be grateful to God, do that every day! The idea of such celebration cannot be found in the history of Islam.

The man listened attentively and as I asked for objections, he was only reasoning along and accepting my arguments. I went further to tell him to look at the Masjid, special Tahajud for December 31st, what jargon!

 

What type of Tahajjud is that one? On whose authority? Who commanded them to do so? Meanwhile, when you look at people who do this, they are into more serious negative innovations into the deen. Some will ask you to come with three – eyed coconuts, some will choose a dress/colour code, why are we deceiving ourselves. Observe your Tahajjud without necessarily associating it with a celebration, worse is, it is a Kuffar celebration!

The man was very silent, thanked me very much and left. AlhamduliLlah. Even if the whole word refuse to listen, we will not relent, sooner or later, our writings and speeches would be discovered by a sincere seeker of the truth who would propagate it even with a greater zeal.

 

Keep deceiving yourselves… Just as Salah is better than sleep, so is sleep better than Tahajjud for December 31st.

 

Yeah, we use the Gregorian Calendar mostly but it was imposed. If you then decide to celebrate what you can easily avoid, you are a part of every evil it encompasses.

New Day, not a New Year by Bashir Lucas Samson Lukman

0

 

I first came across the word, “Janus” in Williams Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice”

“In ancient Roman beliefs, Janus is the god of beginnings, transitions, and endings. He is depicted with two faces, one cheerful and one melancholy, symbolizing the uncertainty of the future.”

“”Solanio suggests that Antonio is as strange a figure as Janus, who is dual in his nature”

He reacted to Antonio’s speech,

“In sooth, I know not why I am so sad:It wearies me; you say it wearies you;But how I caught it, found it, or came by it,What stuff ’tis made of, whereof it is born,I am to learn;And such a want-wit sadness makes of me,That I have much ado to know myself.”

Janus was a Roman pagan god and had no connection with Christianity. Those who want to celebrate but they should know it is a pagan festival. If you want to debate it, talk 😂.

So, I say…

If no colour other than the ones we know appear in the sky
If the sun rises at its time
If the sun set at its time
And the night, at its time
If the waters remain the same
Don’t brag about the day…
Chill… Keep calm, it is not a new year
It is a new day…
Every day counts.

People of low intelligence
You plunged into abyss of
Ignorance and barbaric behaviour
You leave the one true Lord
And worship the three fake
Man-made ones
The created idolatry
And adore a son of man

People of low intelligence
You worship men
Bow down and kneel before men
But you refused to bow down to the Creator of your souls
Men that fly private jets and drive Rolls Royces
You left the original teaching and messages
For the wolves in the sheep clothing

People of low intelligence
You have your book
But you don’t read your message
O mankind your God is one
Love Him and serve Him
With all your hearts
This is the teachings but
Instead, you say your gods are three
You condemned the message
Of the messenger of God almighty

O people of low intelligence
You lied on the son of man
Nay, he isn’t son of God but
We appointed him as a sign of
Our command and absolutes power
To his people that I am the one
True God almighty that can save thee
Abraham, Moses and Jesus Christ are messengers
There is no difference between
Jesus Christ and Adam
We have created Adam without
Father and mother
We have created Jesus the son of Mary without a father

O people of low intelligence
Worship the true one Lord
And believe in the messenger
Appointed to the whole mankind
We is not two or three
I am the plural of one
The master of the day of judgment
I am We, absolute power belongs to Me
I have power over all things
The last prophet has come and gone
But my message lives on
The true words

O people of low intelligence
I am your God almighty
I am the beginning and the end
I have no son nor daughter
No father nor mother
Nothing is comparable to Me
And nothing can be compared to Me
I am eternal and I will never die
Your image is like Adam
Do not say trinity
I am one God
You have come from Me
And definitely your return is to Me
Submit to Me, my name is peace
And your religion is peaceful.

“I am a Master of my own words and God is the Master of my Soul.”

I people of no reflection.

The Prisoner (Poem by Lucas Bashir)

0

For the believer, the world is a prison

From Uyghur in China to Gaza in Palestine

whether be Summer, be Winter or any other season

Say Myanmar, say Syria, it is, but a routine

 

The same land we walk but for me, it is strange

Same blood in veins but for my belief, he is at rage,

Nothing but for believing in ALlah, the Lord of the Worlds, he scorns

His cries and wails so loudly heard as far as Charlie Hebdo that mocks

 

He does good, it is his religion, he does bad, he is Human

I help him, I am Human, he vexes me and my flaws make me Muslim

He shuts himself from my belief and conceives it as inhuman

His misconceptions about me, he takes to his film

 

When I pass, I am Human but for failure, it is my Hijab

I stand tall, I am human, I fall, the lengths of my trousers receive his jabs

I am a scientist, I am Human, I am illiterate, he questions my beards

My qualifications he cannot resist, he sees the name, ‘Bashir’, he is afeared

 

He criminalizes my polygyny and legalizes his homosexuality

He is proud of his alcohol and for my frown at it, he paints me as backward

Now, he has a hundred genders and celebrates the confusion of his gender and sexuality

What good I do is bad, what evil he does is good and never awkward

 

He defines freedom in a way that makes me snigger

There is the freedom to sleep with the same gender or your parent but not to polygyny

Freedom to be naked but the covered, he fines hundreds of dollars

If she begets for her father or the mother for the son, what shall we tell the progeny?

 

 

“I am the orphan of Gaza

I am the deformed of Iraq

I am the violated of Afghanistan

I am the bombarded of Pakistan

I am the tyrannized of Kashmir

I am the oppressed of Chechnya

I am the catalyst of Tunisia

I am the hope of Egypt

I am the courage of Syria

I am the determination of Yemen

I am the martyr of Libya. I am the Ummah of Muhammad ( ﺻﻠﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ
ﻭﺳﻠﻢ)”

 

I am a prisoner in the Dunya, this is not my home…

The celebration and root of Christmas are being debated yearly. Not just non-Christians, there are many Christian denominations that do not partake in the celebration of Christmas too.

Pastor Olukoya of MFM recently criticized the festival and is being attacked by Christians. As it is, Pastor Olukoya and his critics suffer from same sickness and need the same medicine. Watch video to learn more…

 

Another tactic of the ‘GospeLiers’ – Bashir Lucas Samson Lukman

0

Christian apologists employ all techniques to win souls for Christ. They go as far as using natural phenomena like death and calamity to convince one to become a Christian though they occur in the church.

They are quick to point out that someone who is a non-christian died because he exposes the truth about the bible and the church. When bro Akbar Sidi died in his 70s, facebook Christian apologists celebrated his death to the glory of Christ.

When a crane fell in Saudi Arabia killing some and injuring others, the comments of many Christian evangelists were shocking. many said, “Allah cannot save”, some said, “where is Allah?”. When synagogue collapsed and of recent, a church in Uyo killed many people after its collapse, they didn’t ask where is Jesus.

Not long ago, I wrote an article narrating the number of road accidents I have been involved in from January to December and AlhamduliLlah, nothing evil happened. I remember beseeching Allah that no one from amongst notable people who do Da’wah should die till either one or all of the Christian apologists die or embrace Islam if He wills so that when any of us die, there won’t be room for mockery that lukewarm Muslims will not ignorantly see Islam as an abode of death or calamity when in reality, they are natural phenomena.

As Allah willed, Cazzie Hassan, someone who hates Islam and Muslims to the core, a renowned facebook apologist died yesterday.

However, this is not intended to mock the dead but that they will know that death is a certainty not a price. Allah says,

Surat Ali ‘Imran [verse 185] – “Every soul will taste death…”

” verily, to your Lord is the return of all” Qura’n 96:8

“for to Us(Allah) is the return of man, then it will be for Us to call them to account” Qur’an 88 verses 25-26 (Interpretation of the meaning)

Death is a certainty, an inevitable event and “do not die except as a Muslim”.
