The document discusses how Islam spread through the sacrifices of Prophet Muhammad and the Sahaba. It notes that they faced torture, gave up their wealth and families, and even killed relatives who opposed Islam, out of their strong belief in Allah and implementing the teachings of the Prophet. In contrast, the document says that today many Muslims follow cultural traditions over the example of the Prophet and Sahaba, making excuses about family or social pressures. It argues that true Islam is a way of life that requires following the wisdom and sacrifices of early Muslims.

1. عید مبارکEID MUBARAK WE CELEBRATE EID, MARKING THAT WE FULFILED OUR DUTIES IN RAMADHAN AS REQUIRED SALAH…BY DISTURBING OUR ROUTINES & OUR SLEEP, MANAGE TIME FOR IT FASTINGABSTAINING FROM FOOD ETC. ZAKATHDONATE OUR WEALTH AS REQUIRED SO ON & SO ON VIRTUOS DEEDS) IN RAMADHAN (WHICH NEEDED TO BE CONTINUE AFTER RAMADHAN ALSO) & EXPECTING REWARDS OUT OF IT .

2. WE CELEBRATE EID BECAUSE WE PRACTICE ISLAM BUT DO WE EVER THOUGHT HOW DOES ISLAM REACHED US ? DO WE EVER THOUGHT THAT, WHAT PROPHET MOHAMMED (SAW) & SAHABA DID FOR ISLAM AND WHAT WE ARE DOING FOR IT ? ISLAM DID NOT SPREAD BY ITSELF.

3. PROPHET MOHAMMAD(SAWS)FACED TORTUROUS MOMENTS IN TAIF & DID NOT TOOK ANY REVENGE, THOUGH THE ANGELS CAME DOWN & ASKING HIS OPTION. FORCED TO MIGRATE FROM MAKKAHLEAVING BEHIND EVERY THING. HIS TWO DAUGHTERS GOT DIVORCE, BUT HE DID NOT BOW DOWN TO PRESSURES & LEAVE THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM. WHY HE HAS ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE OF FULL FLEDGE WELL TRAINED WELL EQUIPED ARMY OF 1000 MEN AT BADR WHEREAS HE WAS HAVING ONLY 313 PEOPLE, (NOT EVEN ARMY) MANY OF SAHABA DOES NOT HAVE REQUIRED ARMS, & PROPER GADGETS TO FIGHT, EVEN SO MANY OF THEM WERE EMPTY STOMACHS & YET THEY WON THE FIRST BATTLE

4. AT THE BATTLE OF UHUD, PROPHET MOHAMMED (SAWS) STOOD FIRM, THOUGH AT ONE POINT IT LOOKS MUSLIM ARMY LOOSING THE BATTLE EVEN THERE WAS RUMOR THAT HE WAS MARTYRED. WHAT MAKES HIM DURING THE WAR OF HUNAIN, WHY PROPHET (SAWS) STOOD ALONE, & CALLING THAT I AM THE SON OF ABDUL MUTTALIB, FACING THE ARROWS ALONE, WHEN NO ONE ELSE WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO FACE THE CHALLENGE.

5. HE DID NOT HE ABANDON HIS MISSION WHEN THERE WERE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE IN MAKKAH AS WELL AS IN MADINA. HE LEAD SEVERAL WARS WHEN ISLAM WAS ATTACKED. IN MANY WARS ONE SIDE FATHER & OPPONENT IS HIS SON, ONE BROTHER ON ONE SIDE & ANOTHER BROTHER ON ANOTHER SIDE

6. IN BADR WAR ABU OBAIDA IBN JARRAH (RA)FOUGHT WITH SUCH BRAVERY & STRENGTH, THAT THE DISBELIEVERS WOULD TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM, BUT HIS FATHER FOLLOWING HIM WHERE EVER HE GOES & HE IS AVOIDING TO FACE HIM. THERE A SITUATION ARISES EITHER HE SHOULD KILL HIS FATHER, OR HE WILL GET KILLED, BY DOING SO FIND AN UNHINDERED WAY TO PROPHET(SAWS).SO HE KILLED HIS FATHER. UPON THIS ALLAH(SWT) SAID I لَا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا آبَاءهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاءهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَانَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ أُوْلَئِكَ كَتَبَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْإِيمَانَ وَأَيَّدَهُم بِرُوحٍ مِّنْهُ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ أُوْلَئِكَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ أَلَا إِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ (سورة المجادلة 58:22) {YOU (O MUHAMMAD (SAWS) WILL NOT FIND ANY PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN ALLAH & THE LAST DAY, MAKING FRIENDSHIP WITH THOSE WHO OPPOSE ALLAH & HIS MESSENGER, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE THEIR FATHERS,OR THEIR SONS, OR THEIR BROTHERS, OR THEIR KINDERED (PEOPLE) FOR SUCH HE STRENGTHENED THEM WITH RUH (PROOFS, LIGHT & TRUE GUIDENCE) FROM HIMSELF. & WE WILL ADMIT THEM TO GARDENS (PARADISE) UNDER WHICH RIVERS FLOW, TO DWELL THEREIN (FOREVER). ALLAH IS PLEASED WITH THEM, & THEY WITH HIM. THEY ARE THE PARTY OF ALLAH. VERILY, IT IS THE PARTY OF ALLAH THAT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL}(SURA MUJADELA 58:22)

7. WHAT HAPPENED TO UMAIR (RA) IN HIS FULL YOUTH TO KICK HIS WEALTH FOR ISLAM & FACE THE TOUGHEST TORCHERS. SAYYADA SUMMYA (RA), SACRIFICED HER LIFE & BECAME FIRST SHAHEED OF ISLAM SUHAIB RUMI, LEFT ALL HIS WEALTH, WIFE, EVEN HIS SON WHEN HE HAS TO MIGRATE TO MADINA ON ORDER OF ALLAH (SWT) & HIS MESSENGER. THERE ARE COUNTLESS SIMILAR INCIDENTS, WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM WHY THEY ACT IN SUCH A WAY ???

8. THE REASONS THEIR STRONG CREED (AQEEDA) ON ONENESS OF ALLAH THE CREATOR, SUSTAINER & ALMIGHTY ALLAH & NOT ONLY VERBAL BUT, STRONG BELIEVE & IN PRACTICE THAT WHAT PROPHET (SAWS) SAYS & DOES ARE TOTALLY CORRECT. NOTHING & NO OTHER WAY COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT. NO NEED TO ADD ANY THING NEW OR NEGLECT / AVOID ANY THING FROM QURAN AND SUNNA . THAT MAKES THEM SO STRONG FROM ILLITERATES TO THE BEST PEOPLE AMONG THE HUMUNITY (TILL THE DOOMSDAY).

9. YOU WILL SEE THE RESULT WHEN OFFER 5 TIMES PRAYERS & MEN GOING TO MASJID WITHOUT FAIL. THOUGH RECITATION OF QURAN, CERTAINLY REWARDS. BUT YOU WILL SEE THE RESULT WHEN IT UNDERSTOOD, BY RECITING DAILY WITH TRANSLATION.

10. BUT TODAY IN THE NAME OF ISLAM RIGHT FROM BIRTH, WE START CHILLA, CHETTI, BISMILLAH, ROZA RAKHAI.+ + + + + + + AS WE GROW (WHAT EVER WE FIND OTHERS DOING WE TRY TO IMITATE OTHERS) INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING WAY OF PROPHET MOHAMMED (SAW) & SAHABA. INSTEAD FOLLOWING, HAFSA-BINT –ABUBAKR (RA), FATIMA (RA) GIRLS FOLLOWING TV SERIALS PROUD TO ACT LIKE HEER OR LAILA INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING ALI (RA) & UMAIR (RA), & BRAVE LIKE UMAR (RA),KHALID BIN WALID (RA) OR ABU OBAIDA-BIN-JARRAH (RA) & SETTING GOOD EXMAPLE IN SOCIETY BOYS CONCIETEDLY ACT LIKE, RANJHA, MAJNOON, OR ACTS LIKE VILLIANS. INSTEAD OF NEAT & CLEAN ISLAMIC HOMES, THESE DAYS THEY MORE GIVING THE IMPRESSION OF LIKE AJANTA / ELLORA. SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON DECORATION THAT A POOR CAN EAT FOR A WEEK IN PIECE OF DECORATIVE ITEM.

11. WE FIND EXCUSES THAT OUR PARENTS / OFFSPRINGS WISHES, WE DON’T WANT THEM TO SEE UNHAPPY OUR FAMILY TRADITIONS, WE DON’T WANT TO DISCONTINUE IT BECAUSE WE MAY LOOSE OUR SOCIAL STANDING. SOCIAL PRESSURE, WE MAY BE LABELLED AS OUT-DATED, ORTHODOX MENTALITY. WE LOOSE OUR STATUS & SOURCES OF INCOME MAY BE DISTURBED & MANY MANY MORE & MORE. ALL ABOVE ARE AT THE COST OF & AGAINST THE WISHES OF PROPHET MOHAMMED (SAWS)

12. IF IF PARENTS ONLY IMPORTANT WHY OMAIR (RA) LEFT HIS HOUSE, WEALTH / IBRAHIM (ASWS) DID NOT ACCEPT HIS FATHER’S ADVICE, & WHY ABU OBAIDAH IBN JARRAH KILL HIS FATHER. IF KITH & KIN IMPORTANT THEN WHY IBRAHIM (ASWS) TOOK ISMAIL (ASWS) TO SACRIFICE HIM, & MUHAMMAD (SAWS) DID NOT BOW DOWN, WHEN HIS 2 DAUGHTERS GETTING DIVROCE & A DAUGHTER MARTYRED (BECAUSE MUHAMMAD (SAWS) SPREADING ISLAM) . IF FAMILY TRADITIONS IMPORTANT WHY MUHAMMAD (SAWS) & SAHABA (RA) DID NOT FOLLOW ABU LAHAB, ABU JAHAL & ANCESTRAL TRADTIONS. IF SOCIAL PRESSURE WERE IMPORTANT THEN WHY ABU LAHAB, ABU JAHAL ADVICES & THREATS WERE NOT CARED BY PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SAWS) & ALL SAHABA. WHY BILAL (RA) NEVER ACCEPT IMPROPER DEEN. IF STATUS TO BE CARED THEN WHY ABU BAKR(RA), OSMAN (RA), TOOK THE RISK OF THEIR BUSINESS EMPIRES, OMAIR(WHO WERE ABLE TO WEAR DAILY A NEW DRESS) SACRIFICED IT. 10 YEAR’S YOUNG BOY, ALI (RA),DEFY TO KUFFARS, INCLUDING HIS FATHER ABU TALIB, UNCLE ABU LAHAB, ABU SUFIAN BY ACCEPTING ISLAM.

13. WHAT DOES IT MEANS ARE THESE THE STORIES LIKE, ALF-LAILAH FAIRY TALES ETC. ETC. TO TELL THE, KIDS WHILE THEY ARE GOING TO BED,OR IMAGINARY ROMANTIC STORIES LIKE DEVDAS, LAILA MAJNOON ETC. HEAR, ENJOY & FORGET THEM OR DON’T WE HAVE TO TAKE LESSONS FROM THEIR WISDOM, SACRIFICES & TRY TO APPLY IN OUR LIVES.

14. ISLAM IS THE WAY OF LIFE IT IS NOT JUST ONLY, TO UTTER A KALIMA (SHAHDA), FIVE TIME PRAYERS, OBSERVE FASTING, GIVE ZAKAT & PERFORM HAJJ, KEEP BEARD / WOMEN WEAR HIJAB (BURQA). IT IS MORE THAN THAT ISLAM MEANS ABSOLUTE SURRENDER TO ALLAH A MUSLIM IS REQUIRED TO PRACTICE ISLAM IN HIS WHOLE LIFE, APPLY ISLAMIC PRINCIPLES, & WAY OF PROPHET (SAW). IN OUR HOMES ISLAMIC TRADITIONS TO BE FOLLOWED INSTEAD OF OTHER’S TRADITIONS.

15. ISLAM DOES NOT SPREAD BY ITSELF GET UP AND CONTINUE IT IN THE WAY OF PROPHET MOHAMMED (SAWS)AND AS PER SAHABA PRACTICED & SPREAD ISLAM IN THEIR WAY & CELEBRATE EID ACCORDINGLY EID MUBARAK
