Alhamdulillah ala deen Al Islam

I wanted to talk and there was no one around
it was so silent, I could hear my heart pound
I was feeling scared and worried
I wanted to scream and create some sound.

I got up and performed Ablution
slowly life seemed to be an illusion
My worries eased and i felt at peace
Allah swt was clearing away my confusion

I then recited the Quran aloud
my heart was cleared of grief’s cloud
I atlast heaved a sigh of relief
“am just a Humble Muslimah and not proud”

Islam is the real code of life
Trough it i have victored every strife
I have smiled through tears of blood
Islam has helped me cobat every knife

Alhamdulillah ala deen il Islam

Wisdom of Imam Abu Hanifah May ALLAH SWT Be Pleased with him

Assalam Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu I hope this mail finds you all in the best of circumstances, I had come across this post and SubhaanALLAH it enlightened me and I felt a necessity of sharing it with as many Muslims as possible.

 Is this person a kaafir or not?

Muhammad bin Mukatil relates that a man approached Imam Abu Hanifa and asked him, “What is your opinion regarding a person who does not hope for Jannah, who doesn’t fear Allah (swt) and is not afraid of the fire of Hell. He eats meat of animals not slaughtered according to religious requirements and observes prayers without Ruku’ (bowing) and Sujud (Prostration), and testifies to what he has not seen (witnessed). He dislikes Haq (Which is right and certain) and loves Fitna (Trials and tribulations)

The students of Imam Abu Hanifa replied “This persons situation is difficult, problematic and hard to solve.” In another version it is narrated that they replied, “This person is very bad and these characteristics are of a Kaafir”.

Imam Abu Hanifa replied, “This persons situation is not difficult and these are not properties of a Kaafir, as this is a person who doesn’t wish or hope for Jannah but wishes and looks forward to meeting Allah (swt). He fears Allah (swt) and not the Fire of Hell (obviously he who fears Allah (swt) will refrain from all that is prohibited and do what is asked of him and thus will not need to fear Hell as he will be going into Jannah – Insha Allah). He doesn’t fear injustice and unfairness from Allah (swt) in His rule. He eats Fish and Crust (remember these do not have to be slaughtered). He reads Salatul Janazah in which there is no ruku’ or sujud. He testifies that there is only One Allah (swt) (though he has not seen him) and Muhammad (saws) is His Messenger. He dislikes Haq (what is right) which is death, as it is certain. He loves his children, money, wealth and possessions as they are Fitna”

After hearing this remarkable answer, the questioner stood up and kissed Imam Abu Hanifa’s head and said, “I bear witness that you are a receptacle for knowledge.”
