The document outlines the message and mission of the Muslim Brotherhood as described by Hasan Al-Banna. It states that the mission is to preach the principles of Islam in a comprehensive way that regulates all aspects of life. It acknowledges other ideologies and missions in the world but says the Muslim Brotherhood's mission is universal and will embrace what is in line with Islam while rejecting what clashes with it. The document clarifies that the group's understanding of Islam comes from the Quran, teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, and examples of the pious predecessors.
This document discusses the concept of 'asabiyyah (partisanship or tribalism) in Islam. It begins by defining 'asabiyyah and distinguishing between praiseworthy and blameworthy forms. Praiseworthy 'asabiyyah involves supporting truth and justice, while blameworthy 'asabiyyah involves supporting one's group in oppression. Several hadith condemn 'asabiyyah that causes one to support injustice. The document then discusses the harms of 'asabiyyah, such as closing one's heart to truth. It emphasizes that a believer should support truth over tribal or national affiliations. Intellectuals are warned that 'asabiyyah corrupts knowledge and disrespects opponents

This document provides an introduction and overview of some key concepts found in the Quran, such as wisdom, patience, loyalty, and idolatry.

Harun Yahya Islam The Debased Culture Of Superficialityzakir2012
This document discusses the problem of superficiality in culture and provides context around its causes and manifestations. It defines superficiality as a spiritual sickness that prevents living according to religious morality and the teachings of the Quran. Superficial people pursue fleeting worldly goals rather than seeking to please Allah and live for the hereafter. They fail to recognize that humanity's purpose is to worship Allah and be tested on their actions. As a result, superficiality reflects in debased thinking and behavior removed from Islamic virtues. The document urges embracing the religion chosen by Allah as the noblest way of life for humans.

It outlines several benefits, including helping people better understand Allah's power, become humble, adopt sincerity in actions, encourage repentance, inspire supplication, and provide opportunities to gain rewards like forgiveness and Allah's love. Tests can also lead to gratitude, erase sins, inspire empathy for others, and provide blessings that may not be immediately apparent. The document encourages Muslims to understand these wisdoms so they can face difficulties with patience.
The following treatise discusses some of the benefits and wisdoms of the tests and trials people encounter during their lives in order to adopt an important aspect of Noble Character namely, patience.
According to the Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2003, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, has advised that the heaviest thing in the Scales of Judgement Day will be Noble Character. It is one of qualities of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, which Allah, the Exalted, complimented in Chapter 68 Al Qalam, Verse 4 of the Holy Quran:
“And indeed, you are of a great moral character.”
Therefore, it is a duty on all Muslims to gain and act on the teachings of the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, in order to Achieve Noble Character.
O mankind! Lo! the promise of Allah is true. So let not the life of the world beguile you, and let not the (avowed) beguiler beguile you with regard to Allah. (The Noble Quran 35:5) Lo! the devil is an enemy for you, so treat him as an enemy. He only summoneth his faction to be owners of the flaming Fire. (The Noble Quran 35:6) Those who disbelieve, theirs will be an awful doom; and those who believe and do good works, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward. (The Noble Quran 35:7) Is he, the evil of whose deeds is made fair seeming unto him so that he deemeth it good, (other than Satan's dupe)? Allah verily sendeth whom He will astray, and guideth whom He will; so let not thy soul expire in sighings for them. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do! (The Noble Quran 35:8)
Lesson 3 of the Beginners' Course on Islam 2.
Do we need a Divine Law to guide and govern our actions and decisions?
What is the purpose of the Shari'ah Law? Were they revealed only to make things difficult for us? Or is there a greater purpose behind its revelation?
This document discusses beginning with the end in mind by focusing on the right center. It provides Islamic teachings on various centers people can focus on, such as family, money, work, possessions, pleasure, friends/enemies, religion, and self. Each center is discussed in terms of how it affects one's security, guidance, wisdom and power. The key message is that one should be centered on Allah and have Him as their main focus and priority in life to achieve true security, wisdom and guidance. Other centers can distract one from their purpose or lead to narrow, selfish mindsets.
This document discusses the Islamic perspective on seeking knowledge. It defines the obligatory types of knowledge (fard 'ain) that every Muslim must seek to develop themselves and strengthen the Muslim community. These include knowledge of the core principles of Islam like the five pillars, articles of faith, and good character. The document also outlines different categories of knowledge, sources of knowledge, and etiquettes that Muslims should uphold in their pursuit of learning. It emphasizes that acquiring and applying fard 'ain knowledge is essential to one's spiritual and social development according to Islamic teachings.

The document outlines the five main obligations Muslims have towards the Quran: 1) believing it is the word of God, 2) regularly reciting it with proper pronunciation, 3) understanding its teachings, 4) acting upon its guidance, and 5) conveying its message to others. It emphasizes that truly fulfilling these obligations leads to glory in this life and success in the hereafter, as instructed by Muhammad. However, the document notes that while Muslims excel in other areas, most do not even read or properly understand the Quran as they should.
Asalamu'Alaikum dear readers,
This is a very important topic and one of the major pillars on which our Imaan is strengthened on a daily basis. It is beautiful how the Glorious Qur'an will become our intercessor for or against us on the Day of Judgement. I hope it will be helpful for all of you. Would love to read your view about it in the comments section!!
The document discusses the concept of taqwa in Islam, defining it as guarding oneself against the anger and punishment of God by fulfilling His commandments and abstaining from what He has prohibited. It provides various quotes from the Quran and hadith about different aspects of taqwa, including fearing God, obeying Him, avoiding sins and doubtful matters. Additionally, it lists several components and levels of achieving true taqwa.
The passage discusses the importance of summarization in an age of information overload. It notes that with the massive amount of online information available, being able to quickly understand the key points of documents is crucial. The ability to produce concise yet informative summaries can help people navigate large amounts of content and identify what is most relevant or important to their needs.
- Brief review of Tawheed & brief discussion about Angels & Jinns in Islam.
- As this discussion will cover intangible things which are solely dependent on the belief of Tawheed, it is prudent that we prepare ourselves to accept this information, specially how to deal with these abstract matters, matters which are out of our sight. If one does not believe in Allah then belief in these are solely disputable concepts, not facts. Lets us clear our doubt in light of what Allah & His Prophet (saw) has to say about them and what are the prescribed actions for us to address them.
This document discusses developed personality from both an Islamic and scientific perspective. From an Islamic view, key aspects that develop personality include the five pillars of Islam - prayer, alms giving, fasting, pilgrimage, and moral conduct. These help instill traits like knowledge, sincerity, responsibility, patience, wisdom, self-awareness and following Prophet Muhammad's example. Scientifically, concepts like delaying gratification, emotional intelligence, and being proactive also contribute to developing personality for worldly success. Both perspectives emphasize developing positive traits and eliminating negative ones to achieve goals in this life and the hereafter.
The document discusses the obligation of da'wah (inviting others to Islam) based on Quranic verses and hadith. It emphasizes that simply believing and doing good deeds is not enough; one must also convey the message of Islam to others. It then outlines important qualities needed for an effective da'i (preacher), including knowledge, sincerity, good character, patience, and practicing what one preaches. The goal is to convey the message of Islam with wisdom, make the message appealing, and leave the guidance of others to Allah.
The document outlines the foundations and principles of the spiritual path according to Sidi Ahmad Zarruq. It discusses the foundations of the path in 5 points: Taqwa, adherence to the Sunnah, indifference to acceptance/rejection by others, contentment, and turning to Allah in times of hardship and ease. It then discusses 5 additional foundations that realize these 5 points: exalted aspirations, maintaining Allah's reverence, service to others, fulfilling one's resolves, and magnifying one's blessings. The document provides further elaboration on principles and guidelines for seekers of spiritual truth.
This document is an introduction and translator's note for a book discussing the causes that increase and decrease faith (eemaan). It begins by noting that eemaan fluctuates in levels and degrees based on one's obedience and disobedience. It clarifies some misconceptions around eemaan, emphasizing that it encompasses both belief and actions. The introduction provides background on the author and outlines some key points about the proper definition and understanding of eemaan to contextualize the following chapters.
The document provides an overview and summary of Surah Fussilat (Chapter 41) of the Quran. It discusses the following key points:
1. The surah invites believers to have faith in tawheed (the oneness of God) and the hereafter, and to be patient and steadfast.
2. It presents historical examples from the stories of past nations like Aad and Thamud as proofs of tawheed, as well as signs of tawheed found in nature.
3. The surah warns of punishment for those who reject God and commit shirk (associating partners with God) by withholding obligatory charity, and promises reward for the oppressed and
This document discusses narrow-mindedness and its causes and effects. It defines narrow-mindedness as shallow or superficial thinking. It then lists 10 causes of narrow-mindedness, including bad upbringing, keeping bad company, ignorance of Islam and history. It also outlines 5 signs of narrow-mindedness such as complaining, focusing on minor issues, and dealing with symptoms rather than root problems. The final effect mentioned is wasting of effort.
Prayer (salaah) is the most important pillar of Islam. Indeed it is the dividing line between Islam and infidelity. Salaah is a duty incumbent on every Muslim, male or female, who has attained the age of maturity and has a sound mind. There are numerous verses in the Holy Qur’an commanding Muslims to observe salaah regularly. Allah ((سبحانه و تعالى)) says:
“Guard the prayers strictly, especially the middle prayer (i.e., ‘Asr) and stand up in prayer to Allah with
true devotion.” [Al Baqarah 238]

The Book of Ruth is included in the third division, or the Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In most Christian canons it is treated as one of the historical books and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.
The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

as compilation of stories, or resorted to their futile counter
arguments. This is a consequence of poor intention or
missed pre-requisites. Quran is a Devine Book until it is not
approached with the right intention, Allah may not lead
you through it. The intention to read Quran must be clear
& precise in your mind.
“We as any other Muslim wish to correct ourselves;
ameliorate from our problems that we face today;
learn about the purpose of living, get real satisfying
rewards and attain unchallenged security and
acceptance of Allah.”
Following are the beginner level self explanatory pre –
requisites for getting guidance from Quran stated at the
very beginning. The potential reader must:
• Believe in Unseen
• Offer Prayer
• Spend their wealth
• Believe in the Books of Allah
• Believe in the Day of Judgment

8. GuidanceofQuran
A Brief Exploration
Many people have pointed out that verses in Quran are in
vague and/or in contradiction. Refute this now:
1. Quran proclaims itself, “Quran is simple in guidance
presented in elaborations” & “A verse in it is
abrogated or caused to be forgotten only to be
replaced by similar one or a better one” (1:--)
2. The book is basically divided into a) precise orders &
b) metaphorical references for ideas and actions to
warn, to invigorate & to point to other concepts
beyond human reason & thought (2:2,3)
3. Keep in mind, Quran provides for the “process of
change” expected from a non- Muslim or non-
practicing Muslim given certain habits, often passed
across generations, & basic human shortcomings.
Having said all this, if you believe that Islam in Quran is the
answer & like most people you are looking for short cuts &
ease in comprehension. Consider FAST TRACK APPROACH
on the left.
You will be pleaded to know, this is absolutely alright and
even more profound approach suited to the purpose
addressed here. Most importantly, you will not even
realize how & when you began to sort all your problems
