DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 26th day of Jumaadal Uulaa, 1446AH (Thursday, 28th November 2024).
*_WHO IS ALLAH? LET'S CLEAR SOME MISCONCEPTIONS_*. BismilLah.
Some non Muslims are happily broadcasting that Muslims worship Moon god, claiming that ALLAH (The Most MERCIFUL) is a god or idol in Saudi Arabia Astaghfirullah Let's clear this misconception.
Quran proves such claims wrong, "ALLAH" is NOT a 'moon god' as ALLAH (The Greatest) says in the Quran;
"And from among My Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not bow down (prostrate) to the sun nor to the moon, but only bow down (prostrate) to ME "ALLAH" Who created all those signs, if you (really) worship ME." [Noble Quran 41:37]. ALLAH is the Almighty God who is the CREATOR of all that exists. Believe it or not, that's your cup of tea. Funny enough, open any Arabic Bible, the same ALLAH was used for GOD, so does the Arab Christians worship god or idol when they mention ALLAH in their BIBLE? Hypocrisy, isn't it?
What is the significance of the crescent moon in Islam? ALLAH (The Most Perfect) says; "They ask you about the new moons. Say: These are signs to mark fixed periods of time for mankind and for the pilgrimage." [Noble Quran 2:189]. Note that the crescent is not a symbol of Islam. It's one of the CREATION of ALLAH (The King) for mankind. Some Muslims used it on their mosque just to help visitors identify that this is a mosque. The crescent is not part of our acts of worship in any way aside, aiding us to identify the beginning of each Islamic month, etc.
Some ask, Why does Islam follow a lunar calendar? I say, in both the Bible and the Quran, religious festivals are regulated by the lunar calendar. Jews and Muslims have kept to these regulations, which we believe to be from God, ALLAH. Why do others follow a solar calendar? They can't answer that because they prefer to follow their heart desires due to jealousy and hypocrisy. The crescent used on mosques is to only help visitors to identify this is a masjid as people of the olden days were struggling to locate mosque when they visit any city or town as such they adopted the crescent to differentiate the Mosque from normal buildings or non Islam religious buildings. This is just an introduction to the topic. In shaa ALLAH from tomorrow, I will start exploring the Holy Quran so that we can all take the journey of knowing who ALLAH IS.
*_May ALLAH (The Maintainer of Life) keeps guiding us all and keeps guiding the misguided into Islam_*. Aameen.
