"REPELLING SHAYTAN The Congregation (Jama’ah): “If there are three men (or in a town or in the desert (open space) among whom prayer is not established in jama’ah (congregation), except Shaitan will overcome them. So, cling to the jama’ah for indeed the wolf devours the lone sheep.” [ Abu Dawud’s Sunan (547)] “A single rider (on a journey) is a Shaitan, and two riders (on a journey) are two Shaitan’s, but three (or more on a journey) are a company of riders.” [Abu Dawud’s Sunan (2607)] “When the people stopped (and encamped) at a place they dispersed (and spread out from each other) in the woods and valleys, then the Messenger of (SWA) said, Your dispersing in these woods and valleys is from Shaitan.” After that they did not stop (or encamp) at any place except that they kept so close together.

"Sincere repentance In the next part of the story, Allah mentions, "Then Adam Peace be upon him learnt certain words (to pray with) from his Lord so Allah accepted his repentance. No doubt he is the Most -Relenting, the very merciful. We said "Go down from here, all of you. Then should some guidance come to you from me, those who follow my guidance shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve. As for those who disbelieve, and deny our sins, they are the people of fire; they shall be there forever" (Al-Baqarah 37-39) These verses talk about how Adam and Hawa Peace be upon him were forgiven. After doing the sin, Hazrat Adam Peace be upon him was regretful and remorseful. He did not know what to do and how to humbly ask for pardon. But Adam Peace be upon him could not bear it and he was also afraid what if I say something and more displeasure comes upon me. But Allah knows what passes through man's heart, and he is also the Most Merciful and the Most Gracious. Seeing the agony and remose in... more... - sanjida from Bookmarklet

"The Light is one of the ninety-nine Beautiful Names of Allah. Light is that by which things become known. Things may exist in the dark, but they cannot be seen. Light may be physical, such as the light of the sun or the moon, or intelligible, like the light of the intellect. The latter is that which illuminates the darkness of ignorance with the light of knowledge. Total darkness is non-existence, thus light is that which brings created beings out of non-existence into existence. It is the creative act of Allah and this is one of the meanings of "Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth . . . " The other meaning is that every light in the universe is but a reflection of His mercy, every knowledge a reflection of His knowledge and so on. "Allah created His creation in darkness," said the Prophet, may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him, "then He sprayed them with His light. Those whom this light reached became rightly guided, while those it did not went astray."[2.... more... - sanjida from Bookmarklet

"“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.” - Quran, Surat An-Nur, 24:35 An Illuminating Lamp And what about the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)? Allah says in the Quran, Surat Al-Ahzab, 33:45-46, “O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner, And one who invites to Allah, by His permission, and an illuminating lamp.” The Messenger too is a source of light.

"O you (Muhammad) folded in garments! Stand (to prayer) by night, but not whole night, half of it, or a little less, or a little more; and recite the Qur’an in slow, measured rhythmic tone. Soon shall We send down to you a weighty Word. Truly the rising by night is a time when impression is more keen and speech more certain. True, there is for you by day prolonged occupation with ordinary duties: but keep in remembrance the name of your Rabb, and devote yourself to Him whole-heartily. He is the Rabb of the East and the West: there is no god but He. Take Him therefore for your Disposer of affairs. (Qur’an 73:1-9)" - sanjida from Bookmarklet

"There is no harm in performing your prayer, whilst your eyes are shut. All that is required of you is concentration. I can offer you another solution. If your are getting distracted while offering prayers possibly it is because of shaitan. To get rid of him, simply say aouzubillah hi min as shaitan nirra jeem, and spit on your left. This was the practice of the companions of Our Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. I hope I have clarified your doubt!" - sanjida from Bookmarklet

"Jinn: brief facts 1- The Arabic word ‘jinn’ comes from the verb ‘janna’ which means ‘to hide or conceal’ 2-Allah says that He created jinn from a ‘flame of fire’ (maarij min naar) [Surah 55: 15]. However the relationship of a ‘jinn to fire’ is the same as the relationship of a ‘man to earth’. 3- As Adam is the father of ‘mankind’, Jaann is the father of ‘jinns’ [Mukhtaar as Sihaah, p 14] 4- There are three types of jinn: one which flies in the air all of the time, another which exists as snakes and dogs, and an earthbound type which resides in one place or wanders about. [Tabari and Hakim in Mishkaak al Masaabeeh vol 2 p 883] 5- Among the jinn which fly are some who eavesdrop on the angels in the lowest heaven. The jinn then convey the information they hear to fortunetellers. If they narrated only what they heard it would be correct, but they add to it and mix it with lies. [Sahih Muslim vol 4 no 5538]" - sanjida from Bookmarklet

"17. When you make the prostration of recitation. Allaah's Messenger (saw) said, "When you read a verse of prostration then prostrate, Shaytaan departs crying and says: "Woe be to him. He was ordered with prostration and he prostrated - so for him is Paradise. I was ordered with prostration and I refused - so for me is the Fire." (Muslim, Ahmad and Ibn Maajah). 18. When you recite Surah al-Baqarah. Abu Hurayrah (ra) reports that Allaah's Messenger (saw) said, "Do not turn your houses into graves.

"Forcing people to believe in a religion or to adopt its forms of belief is completely contrary to the essence and spirit of Islam. That is because according to Islam, true faith is only possible with free will and freedom of conscience. Of course, Muslims can advise and encourage each other about the features of Qur’anic morality. All believers are charged with explaining Qur’anic morality to people in the nicest manner possible. They will explain the beauties of religion in the light of the verse, “Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair admonition...” (Surat an-Nahl, 125), however, they must also bear in mind the verse, “You are not responsible for their guidance, but Allah guides whoever He wills.” (Surat al-Baqara, 272) They will never resort to compulsion, nor any kind of physical or psychological pressure. Neither will they use any worldly privilege to turn someone towards religion. When they receive a negative response to what they say, Muslims will reply along the lines of: “To you your religion, and to me, mine” (Surat al-Kafirun, 6)" - sanjida from Bookmarklet

"When God wants to manifest Himself, He looks at His creation. His first attention goes to human beings because they resemble him. Those who resemble Him the most among them, are the saints; hence the Prophet said of them: 'They remind you of The Divine.' "We also pity you because human beings are unwilling to open themselves to attract the angelic power by which they reach the state of heavenly knowledge that is their inheritance. That makes us appear in your human form in varying shapes and degrees of light, in different places and to different ages of human life, to remind you that you have been honored with an angelic power and a divine likeness. Keep the likeness! Use the angelic power! It shall elevate you to that luminous station without which God said: 'Verily, those for whom God did not appoint light, they will never inherit light!'

"“O you who believe! If you ever abandon your faith, Allah will in time bring forth (instead of you) people whom he loves and who love Him – humble towards the believers, strong towards all who deny truth: [people] who strive hard in Allah’s cause, and do not fear to be censured by anyone who might censure them” [5:54]" - sanjida from Bookmarklet

Qur'an 35:24 Verily We have sent thee (Muhammad) in truth as a bearer of glad tidings and as a warner: And there never was a people without a warner having lived among them (in the past).

So travel through the earth and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).

"“There are certain striking similarities between the Hindu god Brahma and his consort Saraisvati, and the Jewish Abraham and Sarai, that are more than mere coincidences. Although in all of India there is only one temple dedicated to Brahma, this cult is the third largest Hindu sect.” “the Arabian historians contend that Brahma and Abraham, their ancestor, are the same person. The Persians generally called Abraham Ibrahim Zeradust. Cyrus considered the religion of the Jews the same as his own. The Hindoos must have come from Abraham, or the Israelites from Brahma…” (Anacalypsis; Vol. I, p. 396.) Ram and Abraham were possibly the same person or clan. For example, the syllable “Ab” or “Ap” means “father” in Kashmiri." - sanjida from Bookmarklet

Another mathematical miracle of the Qur'an is the manner in which the number 19 is numerologically encoded in verses. This number is stressed in the words of the Qur'an: "There are nineteen in charge of it." (Qur'an, 74:30), and is encoded in various places in the Book. Some examples of this can be listed as follows: The Formula consists of 19 letters. - sanjida from Bookmarklet

Only one letter can easily destroy the disbelievers, hypocrites and idol worshipers and increase their sadness. Only one letter can easily guide the sincere and intelligent one in the right path by GOD`s will. The number 666 is highly publicized all over the world and it is associated with evil and danger. However, it is not what it seems. It was a Satanic trick. The trick was to prevent the people approaching the 666. Satan knew that the 666 is the book of GOD and the people should be kept away from it. According to his plan, he placed a bad image to the number 666. - sanjida from Bookmarklet

"Allah said to the peacock-shaped Noor (light) of Muhammad, “O my dearest comrade, please take a glimpse at your favourite friends.” The Noor of Muhammad, having glanced at his front, behind, right and left observed four streaks of extremely brilliant Noor (light).

"The Islamic Ruling on Horoscopes Not only is the practice of astrology Haraam as mentioned in my other articles also, but also visiting an astrologist and listening to his predictions, buying books on astrology or reading one’s horoscope are also forbidden! Since astrology is mainly used for predicting the future, those who practice it are considered fortune-tellers. Consequently, one who seeks his horoscope comes under the ruling contained in the Prophet’s statement: "The Salaah (daily prayer) of whoever approaches a fortune-teller and asks him about anything will not be accepted for forty days and nights." [Reported by Hafsah and collected by Muslim (Sahih Muslim (English Trans.), vol. 4, p. 1211, no. 5440).] The punishment in this Hadeeth is simply for approaching and asking the astrologist, even if one is in doubt about the truth of his statements.

"In Islamic teachings, every prophet was gifted with diverse miracles. Prophet Idris, also known as Enoch in the Old Testament, was blessed with his immense knowledge of heavenly sciences. As compared to modern science, he had a more complex knowledge of astronomy. Some Sufi schools consider him as the founder of the science of the stars, also called "ilm al nujum" in Arabic. Historical records illustrate his birth in Babylonia and his migration to Egypt later in life. History also collaborates that astrology was first born in Babylonia and then spread to Egypt. Prophet Idris was supposedly known to be the first person to educate mankind that living creatures are under the influence of cosmic rays. Meanwhile, we should also realize that most Islamic theologians would disagree with this view. It is also believed that he laid the foundations of science and philosophy from which ancient Greek philosophers benefited." - sanjida from Bookmarklet

"Lataif and personality The work on developing the lataif then continues by understanding the emerging sectors of the personality. Each one of the lataif has a sector of the personality connected to it that acts as a substitute for it and has the memory of the situations that led to its burial. All of these phenomena must be understood, precisely and exactly, for the centers to be permanently active. Each of the subtle forms of the consciousness is then understood, experienced, and embodied. The effects of the lataif on the person’s consciousness are understood and integrated. This has a permanent influence on the personality; the personality is in fact transformed by accommodating the impact of the lataif on its structure and consciousness. Beyond that, each of the lataif functions, so to speak, as a door or entry into a whole universe, a whole dimension of Essence. Each is an entry into a realm of the being that has in it many essential aspects." - sanjida from Bookmarklet

"The word Kundalini is derived from a Sanskrit word ‘Kundal’ meaning coiled up. It is the primordial dormant energy present in three-and-a-half, coils at the base of the spine in a triangular bone called the Sacrum. The Latin name ‘Os Sacrum’ suggests that it is a holy or sacred part of the body. The ancient Greeks were aware of this and therefore they called it the ‘Hieron Osteon’, noting that it was the last bone to be destroyed when the body is burnt, and also attributed supernatural powers to it. Egyptians also held this bone to be very valuable and considered it the seat of special power. In the West, Sacrum is symbolised by the sign of Aquarius and by the Holy Grail, container of the water of life. The Kundalini, which is to nourish the tree of life within us, is coiled up like a serpent and therefore it has been called, ‘The Serpent Power’.
