Appearance of the universal Faith


Yesterday was 27th of Rajab on which Allah (SWT) appointed Muhammad (PBUH) to his prophetic mission as the last messenger and the prophet. I congratulate on such grand day , a day changed the destiny of human beings.

"Those who follow the Messenger , the unlettered prophet,whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel,which are in their possession. He will enjoin them to do what is right and forbid them what is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear" (7:157)

Maba'ath. is a day when..the archangel ,Jibraeel brought the first verses of Allah' words to Muhammad PBUH , the revelation which continued over next 23 years.
I


Muhammad (PBUH) the ummi (unlettered) prophet was raised up by Allah as His mercy upon people of the world,
verse 21 of Surah Anbiya:

“We have sent you but as a Mercy to the creation.”

Allah ordered him to summon the world to Tauhid and the worship of the One God , to call them to justice ,good works,strong social bonds, and encouraging them to hold to the truth without fear. Allah (SWT) appointed Muhammad PBUH to establish the human happiness on the bed rock of faith. Maba'ath means Resurgence , no wonder despite of passing 1430 years , the prophet muhammad's message sent by Allah SWT is still shining even much shinier and brighter than the first days.
mam Ali (as) , the prophet PBUH 's dearest cousin, ward, son-in law and his true successor in leading Islamic ummah in sermon 26 from nahjul balaghah( Ali ibn abi talib famous book Nahj al-Balaghah, which is a collection of the Imam's highly eloquent speeches, letters and maxims ) says that:

“Allah sent Muhammad (SAWA) as a Warner for all creation and a Trustee of His revelation, while you people of Arabia were following the worst religion and you resided among rough stones and venomous serpents. You drank dirty water and ate filthy food. You shed blood of each other and cared not for relationships. Idols were fixed among you and sins clung to you."


Again from Nahjul balaghah in sermon 160 , Imam Ali (a.s) says about Prophet Mohammad (blessings of God upon him and his progeny):


“Allah sent him with a convincing discourse and a rectifying announcement. Through him Allah disclosed the ways that were forsaken and destroyed the innovations that had been introduced. Through him He explained the detailed commands. Now whoever adopts a religion other than Islam his misery is definite… his fate will be serious, his end will be long grief and distressing punishment.” (Sermon 160)

Now adays we see that despite the hard work of enemies and hypocrites to darken image of Islam , Islam is fastes growing religion in the world , this means that Islam is for eternity.

Therefore celebrating maba'ath is the renewal of our faithfulness to Islam principals, the principals that Muhammad SAS preached, to rebuild ourselves to be a true and real monotheist ...

For a better Future


It is midnight and you can't sleep, whatever trick you know has not helped you to fall you asleep, whereas thousands of thoughts beat up on you, usually most of them are spams but sometimes there are classes of thoughts which you can't filtrate, they trap you pushing you to play with them, they can make you happy, sad, excited,guilty ... last night when i was in bed trying to sleep for me it started like "knock knock! ....whose there.... the futures....what futures? ....two futures! .. yeah, two futures, for a second I felt knocked off then i asked myself:" why two futures! don't we all have one future? why am I thinking like that? what made me think of two futures?", after a a few minutes of struggling , a few verses of Quran lightened my mind :"whoever does good whether male or female and he is a believer, we will most certainly make him live a happy life " and this is the first future in the worldly life, " and we will most certainly give them their reward for the best of what they did" , and this is the second future in the after life, after remembering this verse of Quran which I read last evening from chapter 16 (the bee) verse No.97 , I realized what was tickling my conscience ! Since last night I know that I need to think of my two futures, one refers to this world , and the other to the hereafter because " this life in the world is the farm of the afterlife." This life and the after life are not separate , Our good deeds in this world make our afterlife good. Imam Ali has said:"whoever does good for his afterlife, Allah will make his worldly life good" , with each and every breath we make our future, let's improve ourselves towards A BETTER FUTURE.
