AS SALAMU ALAIKUM,

Among the marvels of modern technology is also the
ability to track the missed calls which were made by
our friends and foes and the likes. We do not get a
good night's sleep, unless we have returned the calls
of those who matter. We don't let any call / miss call
go unanswered as long as we know that it matters.
Don't we?

But how about the calls of "HAY-YAA AL-AS-SALAAH AND
HAY-YAA AL-AL FALAH" made from the neighborhood house
of our MASTER, The Almighty ALLAH (SWT)?
Those calls are made five times a day and many a times
they all go unanswered.

We do not either respond!!! Nor do we respect these
missed calls. Do they matter?

Everybody can tell, if these really matter. Maybe not
today nor tomorrow, but surely in the hereafter. Let
us look at ourselves. Can we afford to let these calls
of the Muezzin be missed, day after day, after day.

The call from our CHERISHER, SUSTAINER and THE
ULTIMATE MASTER. Just think about it.

Next time one hears this call, just ask yourself how
good a night's sleep can I have by missing those calls
from the house of ALLAH .

Think about it, the answer may come from the inner
heart.

If you feel this message is worth reading, please
forward to your contacts/friends.

Bibs this is really nice piece you put up. I enjoine all true believing muslims to always respond to the adthan each time it is recited. May ALLAH grant us all Al-Jannah.

Ma-Salam.

AA,
I just want to add to what my brother has written.

It is obligatory upon the one who hears the call to prayer given in a normal voice, without the use of loudspeakers, to respond and attend the prayer in congregation in the mosque from which the call is given, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever hears the call and does not come [to the mosque], there is no prayer for him, except for one who has an excuse." This was narrated by Ibn Maajah, al-Daaraqutni, Ibn Hibbaan and al-Haakim with a saheeh isnaad.

Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) was asked what counts as an excuse. He said, "Fear or sickness." Muslim narrated in his Saheeh from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that a blind man said, "O Messenger of Allaah, I do not have anyone to guide me to the mosque; may I have a dispensation to let me pray in my house?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "Can you hear the call to prayer?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Then respond."

nice post.

it's not worth reading or sending

asamuel:

it's not worth reading or sending

Because it doesn't concern you, however Allah forgives you because you don't know.

@asamuel: Allah is the Lord God that Jesus declared to his audience as being their and his own Lord God. Now as per your disingenously asking about your offense, for starter doesn't the Bible say you can not serve God and Maamor? So when you serve God and then Jesus, as you will not deny that you pray through Jesus as intercessor, you have made Jesus as your maamor, retuctantly.

You can not serve God and Jesus and of course Holy Ghost. See your offense, now.

You missed it. Your quotation was even uttered by Christ Himself. As believers, we know that God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one. This is a mystery that you cannot understand until you repent from sin and come out of that empty religion as I have done. So, Jesus who spoke that word you quoted knows that He is God and therefore if you serve Him, you cannot be serving mammon. Islam serves Allah - the god of Sun. That's why you cannot pray without facing a particular direction. We know that the true God is everywhere, and we can pray to Him facing any direction, taking any posture, and at anywhere.

So, Jesus was referring to you, when He said you should not serve mammon (allah). Why not seek for clarification if you are confused instead of taking Bible verses and interpreting it to your destruction.

REPENT FROM SIN TODAY AND ACCEPT JESUS. EMPTY RELIGION WILL NOT SAVE YOU FROM SIN!

@asamuel: If I quoted what Jesus said, it shows that Jesus and i have same common thread. We both serve the same Lord God who is Allah the Almighty Creator. I told you, you will dig yourself into a hole. then you will not be able to get out of it.

Jesus could never have referred to me, because we have the same Lord God. A prove of it is that cry "Elioh," instead of aba. You have a lot to learn.

Na wa for u ooooo. There is no mystery anywhere. God is complex being, yet he has giving us understanding of himself in the Qur'an. Religion must make sense. It must not contradict common sense. Christianty contradicts every aspect of the sense of man. You are saying mystery, God is not difficult as you think. And whn a verse of the bible contradicts common sense, u hide under the umbrella of spirit, or mystery or "u cant understand until u accept" bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make us understand. The father is one, son is one and the holy spirit is one, they r not 3 gods but one!!!!!!!!! This alone has nullified xtianty as a faith. The guys that wrote this bible sef, aw many of the do u know. Did u know who they were? How many of the say Jesus live? What do u know about them as the personality writing a text as as important as the text itself? Dont u know the bible has sooooooooo much flaws and God almighty is free of such and he's a perfect being? Have u wondered why there soooo many contradictory xtian teachings? Have u evr thought of how the bible came to be before quoting from it?

I am pitying u as i type cos u said u were a muslim. How much of Islam did u know (be sincere). Did u observe solats and read ur quran in either english or arabic? Did u attend sermons? Just answer this questions sincerely cos u are on the wrongest path! If ur views of islam were based on the media, then my brother u have been misguided,

May Allah have mercy on u _{- - - i'm moved to tears}

He might have left Islam because he couldnt pray and they had to deceive him that there is somebody somewhere that saves without the Solat. Just believe and you are saved, Shikena. His Islamic knowledge is not sound.

@asamuel

I was thrown into Qu'ranic school. I knew the entire Qu'ran off-hand but I was not saved from sin.
I was keeping girl friends along with my other muslim friends. In fact, our girl friends were muslims too.

It's a lie, you never learnt Quran off-hand. The application of Quran is what we are doing. Quran never thought you be violent and never to be unkind to people. You engaged yourself in immorality because you keep bad friends. Likewise, there are bad christians as well. I was thought Quran the same way and I wasn't engage in all those illicit act. I still believe the best way to learn Islam it through the only source: AL-Qur'an Kareem: niether what people do nor what they said. I believe you never read this in your Quran:

But as for those who break God's contract after it has been agreed and sever what God has commanded to be joined, and cause corruption in the earth, the curse will be upon them. They will have the Evil Abode. (Qr 13: 25)

Seek the abode of the hereafter with what God has given you, without forgetting your portion of the world. And do good as God has been good to you. And do not seek to cause mischief on earth. God does not love mischief makers.' (Qr 28: 77) and Qr:17:32, 4:24,24:2(forbid adultry and fornication)

I was the class prefect and many times I had mobilized many other students to disrupt her class until I made sure that CRK was not taught in my class.

One day, the Christians were having a crusade in my school. We agreed that we would go there and disrupt the crusade (you know this is not right but this is what every muslim would do if they have the chance to do so). I went with my friends to the crusade and while we stood at the back with intentions to forment troubles, I couldn't turn my ears away from the preaching of the day. I was surprised that someone could preach from the Bible I so opposed without ever mentioning the evils of my own religion. When the preacher started mentioning sins and the consequences I knew that if I would not deceive myself, I was guilty. I shouted in the congregation that the preacher is a liar and that none could say he is not committing sin. I attracted the attention of everyone and my other friends started chanting allah' akbar!.

You are wrong! A disobedient to Almighty God. Did you read this:
'Let there be no compulsion in religion: truth stands put clear from error.' (Qr 2: 256).

I was also thought CRK in school and muslims were many in the class, we didn't obstruct any teacher, rather we learnt the best out of it. I was even among the best performer in the class, they even thought I have changed my faith. Now let take you to history of the verse above:

This verse was revealed on the occasion when some Companions among the Helpers (ansar) asked the Prophet for permission to compel their relatives to profess Islam. However, some of these people had practiced Christianity or Judaism since their early childhood, and the Banu Nadir, a Jewish tribe of Medina even had children who were related to the Companions, but who were brought up by Jewish parents and were considered Jews. When the Prophet issued orders for the Banu Nadir to move out of Medina, so as to prevent clashes between them and the Muslims, some Companions sought instead to force their relatives into Islam. It was at this juncture that the preceding verse was revealed, and the Prophet ordered his Companions not to compel anyone, but to give them the choice to decide what religion they wished to follow.

My mistress came to me and pleaded with me to see her after the event. At this point I was touched. I knew that if a Christian had come to do this in the mosque he would not go home with his head. Within me that night I had no peace. I prayed that God should forgive me and I started asking God questions. Why are we violent as muslims? Why can't we peacefully accommodate other religions as they accommodate us? Why can't all my Qu'ran stop me from sin like the preacher said.

The Bible was bought for me and I started reading it with a differrent mind.

What a shame! No solid foundation! So, you can easily be brainwashed! no personal effort to know your God. Just take a look, if two people are fighting on the cause that one is saying you steal my money and the other is claiming not. When they get to court, what will judge do? Of course you don't know, cos you've not applied it to know your God. Witnesses of course. Where are the witnessses we have, it is Bible and Quran. You never learnt Quran properly at first instance, now you are reading bible with a different mind. You read Quran with what?

Now you kept on saying you read the Bible and you found some contradictory verses. Because you could not quote those verses, I take those to be untrue.

Yes, I said it. Not only contradicting, but enormorsely corrupted, altered,edited and revised in so many versions. Now, take down the following assignment:

1. john 1:18 Vs Gen 32:30, Exd 33:11, 2 king:11

2. Isa 40:28 Vs Jer 15:6

3. psalm 121:4 Vs psalm 73:20

Corrupted words:
Heb 12:29 ( God is Fire)
Psalm 2:7 (A son God begotten today)
Gen. 6:1-4 (Son of God were sleeping with daughters of men) e.t.c.

I can tell you, I read bible very well and I have come to conclusion bible is a combination of many books compose of:

1. Words of God (e.g Isa 43:11)
2. Words of prophets of God (e.g mark 12:29)
3. Words of Historian (e.g mark 11:from 1)

Muslims would deny you once they see that you are no longer with them.

It is not, at least I have my brother who converted to christianinty on the verge that he claims God spoke to him but he tells lies a lot. However, I accommodates him. I also have christian neighbour, we eat, drink and play together and that doesn't disturb either faith. How come you reach such conclusion?

55. Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.
Can you see there that all those who beileve in Jesus would be set above those of you who blaspheme HIM?

Yes you are right, Allah says we should believe in Jesus which bible also testifies to it. All the other prophets who came before and after Jesus are the same. But, you misconcept it. Jesus is not God as you claim. Only God is lord and personal saviour which jesus testifies. We muslims believe in Jesus, Alihamudulilah.

Salaam! May GOD SAVE YOUR LIVES!!!
