A Muslim in France forwarded this, MIND BLOWING

 *A Muslim in France forwarded this, MIND BLOWING.*


I was sitting in a coffee shop in France one day drinking coffee. 


On the table next to me sat a bearded man looking at me. 


I got up, sat by him and asked him, 


'Are you a Muslim? '


He smiled and replied, 


'I am a Jordanian Jew. I am a Rabbi doing a PhD research on Islam.'


I asked, 'What aspect of Islam are you doing your research on?'


He became ashamed then answered thoughtfully after a while, 


'I am researching the extremism in Muslims.'


I laughed out loud and asked, 'Where have you got up to with your research?'


He sighed and said, 

'My research has been completed and I am now writing the paper.'


I asked, 'What are the findings of your research?' 


He sighed deeply, looked left and right, lowered his head and said, 


'After five years of continuous research, I have come to the conclusion that the Muslims love their Prophet more than Islam. 


They tolerate all types of attacks on Islam but they do not tolerate any fingers being pointed towards their Prophet.'


This was a shocking answer for me. I lowered my coffee mug onto the table and sat up straight. 


He continued, 

'According to my research, whenever Muslims fight or rise up, the reason for it is the personage of their Prophet. 


You may seize their mosques, destroy their governments, put limitations on the printing of the Quran or you may kill all of their families - they will tolerate all these things. 


However, as soon as you take the name of their Prophet with an incorrect tone, they rise up.


Thereafter it will not matter whether you are a brave warrior or Fir'awn,  they will clash with you.'


I stared at him in amazement. He said, 

'According to my findings, the day the love of Rasulullah (Sallahu alaihi Wassalamu) no longer remains in the hearts of Muslims, Islam will no longer remain. 


Therefore if you want to finish Islam, you have to take out the Prophet from the heart of the Muslims.'


With that he put down his coffee mug, picked up his bag, placed it on his shoulder,  greeted me and left. 


But I remained shaken. 


I considered the Jewish Rabbi to be my benefactor because before meeting him I was a Muslim by name only but in a few sentences he had explained Islam to me. 


I realised that the love of Rasulullah (Sallahu alaihi Wassalamu) was the spirit of Islam and as long as this spirit was alive, Islam was alive.


The day this spirit dies then there will no longer remain any difference between us,  Christians and Jews.

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
