What is Islam?

The name of Islam comes from an Arabic root word, meaning "peace" and
"submission." Islam teaches that one can only find peace in one's life by submitting
all his wills to Almighty Allah (SWT) in heart, soul, and deeds. It is a guidance sent
by Almighty Allah (SWT) to us so that we can achieve prosperity by following it.
Islam is the Final Message to complete all the Messages that were sent before by
Allah (SWT) through the prophets from Adam (AS) to Jesus (AS) and eventually
Muhammad (SAW), the Seal of the Prophets.

Islamic Life & It’s Importance:

The main difference between Islam and all other religions is that, it is not limited in
ritual activities, but is a code of life. Islam is not only a religion but a deen, a
complete guidance for us blessed by Allah (SWT). Islam has unique political system,
economic system, judicial system, educational system, foreign policy and so on. We
are bound to follow each and every commandment of Allah ( which is FARDH), if we
are Muslim. We need to understand one thing clearly, Islam is a way of life and we
can’t separate Islam from any part of our life.
Almighty Allah (SWT) hath said in Glorious Al-Quran:

85. “……….Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the
rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except
disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of resurrection they shall
be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of
what you do. 86. Those are they who have brought the life of this world at
the price of Hereafter. Their torment shall not be lightened nor shall they
be helped.”
[C: 2, V: 85-86]

“……And treat not the Verses (Laws) of Allah as a joke, but remembers
Allah’s Favors on you, and that which He has sent down to you of the Book
(the Quran) and Al-Hikmah (the Prophet’s Sunnah) whereby He instructs
you. And fear Allah, and know that Allah is All-Aware of everything.”
[C: 2, V: 231]
Revival of Islam:

Today, we, Muslims are loosing everywhere. Muslims are oppressed in each and
every place of world, even in so-called Islamic countries. Our brothers and fathers
are being killed without any reason, children are being shot, sisters and mothers are
loosing their honor…We know the glorious past of Islam. Islam has raised as a
stranger and conquered the most of the place of world within 100 years without any
kind of violence, spreading peace, humanity and oneness of Allah (SWT). We have
ruled the world for more than 1000 years. But...what about today? Can you feel the
difference? Why it is so? The reason is clearly described by our beloved Prophet
Muhammad (SAW) 1430 years ago:

Muhammad (SAW) said, “Soon a time will come upon you, when the nations
will call one another against you, like a group of people sitting around a
platter of food.”

The Sahaabah (RA) asked, “Ya Rasoolullaah, will we be few in number that day?”

He (SAW) replied, "No, you will not be few in number, rather you will be
many...BUT you will be like the floating rubbish, upon floods of water.

When such a time shall come, Allah, The Almighty, will remove your fear
from the hearts of your enemies, and He (SWT), will cast Wahn into your
hearts.”

The Sahaabah asked, “Ya Rasoolulllaah, what's Wahn?”

He (SAW) replied, “The Love of the dunia and the fear of death.”

My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, today we have abandoned Islam and as well
as Allah (SWT) hath abandoned us. This is the only reason why we are facing such
torments. But if we return to Islam, Allah (SWT) will bless us VICTORY again. And
revival of Islam is a promise of Allah (SWT), so Islam will rise and Inshallah very
soon.
The Messenger Muhammad (SAW) said:

"Some peoples will come on the Day of Judgement and their Imaan will be
outstanding, it's light will shine from their chests and from their right hands. So it
will be said to them, 'glad tidings for you today, Assalaamu Alaykum and goodness
for you, enter into it (Jannah) forever!' So the angels and the Prophets will be
jealous of the love of Allah for them." So the Sahabah asked, ' who are they O
Messenger of Allah?' He (SAW) replied, "They are not from us and they are not from
you. You are my companions but they are my beloved. They will come after you and
will find the book (the Qur'an) made redundant by the people, and a Sunnah which
has been killed by them. So they will grab hold of the book and the Sunnah and
revive them. So they will read them and teach them (the Quran and the Sunnah) to
the people and they will experience in that path a punishment more severe and
more ugly than what you (O Sahabah) have experienced. Indeed, the Imaan of one
of them is equivalent to the Imaan of forty of you. The Shaheed of one of them is
equivalent to forty of your Shuhadaa'. Because you found a helper towards the truth
(the Prophet [SAW]) and they will find no helper towards the truth. So they will be
surrounded by tyrant rulers in every place, and they will be in the surroundings of
Bayt ul-Maqdis (al-Quds). The Nussrah (victorious material support) of Allah will
come to them, and they will have the honor of it on their hands." Then he (SAW)
said "O Allah give them the Nussrah and make them my close friends in Jannah."
[Musnad of Imam Ahmed]

Responsibility of a Muslim:

Allah (SWT) does not help those who don't help own persons. Do we believe that we
will remain in house, masjid and pray to Allah and Allah will send His angels from
sky to free us?

Those who believe so, are completely wrong. I am asking you, has it ever
happened? Then why do we think that it will happen in future?

Brothers and Sisters, what has made us so coward? Are not we those who were
braver than Lion? Are not we those who believe in La Ilaha Illallah? Are not we those
who fear only Allah? Then why we fear the tyrants more than Allah? Is this how we
are Muslim? Or don’t we believe Quran?

“Fear none but Me”.[C: 2, V: 40]

I swear in the name of Allah (SWT), if we don't do anything, just remaining silent
because it is happening neither with us and nor with our family; we shall answer, we
shall answer Allah for each and every tear, scream and bloodshed of our Brothers
and Sisters in Islam.

So I am asking you, let's rise, let's rise for Islam, because it's a Fardh for all of us, if
we are Muslim...
“Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good,
enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to
attain felicity.”
[C: 3, V: 104]

“110. Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is
right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People
of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who
have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors. 111. They will
do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance; if they come out to fight
you, they will show you their backs, and no help shall they get.”
[C: 3, V: 110-111]

“Remember two of your parties Meditated cowardice; but Allah was their
protector, and in Allah should the faithful (Ever) put their trust.”
[C: 3, V: 122]

Men said to them: "A great army is gathering against you": And frightened
them: But it (only) increased their Faith: They said: "For us Allah sufficed,
and He is the best disposer of affairs."
[C: 3, V: 173]
If we believe that, only hating from heart is enough, and the weakest part of Iman
which will be granted, then we are wrong again. Because it’s a denial Allah’s
commandment.
“And what is the matter with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and for the
oppressed among men, women, and children who say, “O Lord, take us out of
this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector
and appoint for us from Yourself a helper?"
[C: 4, V: 75]

38. “O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when ye are
asked to march forth in the Cause of Allah (Jihad), you cling heavily to the
earth? Are you pleased with the life of this life rather than the Hereafter?
But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared to the
Hereafter.
39. If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and
will replace you with another people; and you cannot harm Him at all, and
Allah is able to do all things.
40. If you help him (Muhammad) not (it does not matter), for Allah did
indeed help him when the disbelievers drove him out, the second of the
two; when they (Muhammad and Abu Bakr) were in the cave, he said to his
companion (Abu Bakr): “Be not sad (or afraid), surely Allah is with us”.
Then Allah sent down his Sakinah (calmness, tranquility, peace) upon him,
and strengthened him with forces (angles) which you saw not, and made
the word of those who disbelieved the lowermost, while the word of Allah
that became the uppermost; and Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
41. March forth, whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy)
or heavy (being ill, old and poor), and strive with your lives in the Cause of
Allah. This is better for you, if you but knew”.
[C: 9, V: 38-41]

Surely, we are here as representative of Allah (SWT), to hold the flag of Islam. And
our responsibility is clearly mentioned by Muhammad (SAW):

“The believers are witness of Allah in this Earth”

Allah (SWT) Knows the Best
