Haqq Dawah Media Presents: Glad Tidings Why we should not use the word God to describe the Creature

AsSalaamAlkuim,

• Stop praying to God. Start praying to your Creator instead!

  There are thousands of false gods but only one Creator!

  So pray to the One Who created you!

  The Creator Who created the Universe is the God of everything He created! No other god

  exists. All others are false gods! When you say: “Oh My Creator,” you are speaking to the

  only God! There is no God but Him! If it takes you 13 years or more to understand this

  simple concept, it would be time well spent.

  For now, just forget about practicing any religion. Concentrate on praying to your Creator.

  Don’t say: “Oh My God”

  Instead you must say: Oh My Creator!”

  Only the Creator is God! Satan has fooled mankind into praying to thousands of false gods,

  since the time of Adam. Each person is claiming he or she is praying to the real God, but

  that cannot be true. The only real God is the One who created you; no one else!

  Many people agree that there is only One God but they disagree on what name to call Him.

  The safer and better thing to do is pray: “Oh My Creator!” This way, everyone will be

  praying to the real God every time they call on him. Here are some tips to stay safe:

  1. When you say: “Oh My Creator,” you are praying directly to the only real God! You are the

  human being He created and He is your Creator, Who created you. There is no barrier

  between you and your Creator!

  2. Ask your Creator to forgive you for all your sins. Do not ask anyone else! No one can

  forgive your sins, no matter what fantastic story you hear! Cry in secret to your Creator! He

  will forgive you all your sins, every last one! Don’t ever tell anyone about your sins. You

  would only be humiliating yourself. When your Creator prevented people knowing about

  your sins, it is because He is protecting you from public shame and dishonor!

  3. Ask your Creator to guide you. It’s very confusing with all those religions out there. Don’t

  be in a rush to find a religion to practice. All of them are claiming to be the true religion.

  That cannot be true. Trust only your Creator to guide you! Don’t trust us either! Depend only

  on your Creator to guide you to the right religion when the time comes. In the meantime,

  live a clean, wholesome way of life and wait for your Creator’s decision. Do as much good

  deeds as you can. Stay away from all bad deeds. Your Creator never abandoned you! Why
• do you think you are reading this right now. This is a part of the package of guidance your

  Creator prepared especially for you. He will keep on offering it to you throughout the course

  of your life. If you die without accepting it, you will not be able to claim that you didn’t know.

  On the Day of Judgment comes. We will be there to witness that your Creator guided you as

  He guided us!

  4. Don’t give money to houses of worship to distribute for you. Do it yourself! Give money

  from you wallet immediately to needy people, whenever and wherever you see them. Don’t

  lose that chance to do that good deed right then and there. Give out of what your Creator

  gave to you. Satan will whisper to you that the person in front of you doesn’t qualify for

  your charity or that you can give charity later. The next time may never come. Make it a

  habit to give charity regularly. Help the needy people, don’t judge them. Your Creator is the

  Judge over all that He created. Let your Creator handle the judging business and you try to

  qualify yourself for His Mercy!

  Remember: There are only two entities in existence:

  The Creator exists, and whatever He created exists.

  Nothing else exist!

  If you are not praying to the Creator, you are praying to a false god. It’s that simple.

  Praying to a false god means you are going to Hell forever!

  Use your commonsense! Think this over carefully and save yourself and your family from

  Hell! Save your spouses, your children, your parents, your relatives, your friends and your

  preachers and teachers. Try to save everyone! That’s what we are trying to do! The worst

  thing anyone can do is pray to a false god! Only your Creator is God! All others are false

  gods!

  As a fetus in the womb, your Creator implanted a soul in you at that time. When you came

  out into this world, you got a body as to work with for a certain amount of years. The

  Creator gave you commonsense to figure things out and make decisions. He gave you a

  soul to benefit from your good decisions and to suffer the consequences of your bad

  decisions. When the body dies, your soul will stand before the Creator to be rewarded or

  punished.

  Your Creator is Just! Even the people who prayed to false gods get rewards for their good

  deeds, but they get it right here in this world. In the next world, they get nothing. They will

  follow their false gods (or symbols of their gods) straight into Hell forever!
• Only those who worshipped their Creator would be left standing. These people have to

  compensate those whom they had wronged by paying them with their good deeds. If they

  run out of good deeds before they have paid everyone, the must take the bad deeds of the

  one they had wronged until each issue is settled. No one gets away with injustice.

  People would then be judged based upon the deeds they have left. If your good deeds

  outweigh your bad deeds, the Creator promised to forgive you and through His Mercy, the

  Creator will grant you Paradise. If your bad deeds outweigh your good deeds, the Creator

  may still forgive you and through His Mercy, grant you Paradise, or He may send you to Hell

  for as long as He wills. Then whenever He is ready, the Creator will forgive you and through

  His Mercy, grant you Paradise. So do much good deeds, stay away from all bad deeds,

  avoid hurting others, and constantly ask your Creator to guide you and all mankind. At the

  very least, seek forgiveness of the Creator for all your sins before you die!

  We don’t want anything from you and we have nothing to give you. We are not selling

  anything and we are not propagating any religion Follow whatever religion your Creator

  guides you to. Only your Creator can open your heart to see sense in whatever religion He

  will choose for you to practice. We want you to pray to the real God and be safe. When

  people pray to false gods, how would they receive guidance? Too many people are praying

  to false gods! We are just trying to help!

  Please send copies of this letter to co-workers, friends, neighbors, etc. Make hard copies

  and distribute to everyone and mail it to people in other places. Ask people what they think

  of this concept. Does it make sense? On the Day of Judgment, people of Hell will say:

  “If we had listened or used our commonsense, we would not be in the fire!” So listen now

  and take heed! Please take the trouble to send this letter to at least 10 people that you know.

  Tell them to send it to 10 others that they know. Try to help people from ending up in the

  fire! Your Creator will reward you!

  Remember: We don’t want anything from you, and we don’t have anything to give you.

Who is Allah?

WHO IS ALLAH?

Allah, is derived from the two Arabic words “Al”(the) and “Lah”(God). Together, Allah means the one and only God. We believe God is one, indivisible, has no associates and  has no partners. He is the First and the Last. He is the creator and owner of all things in the entire universe and He is the only One worthy of worship.

The attributes of Allah are described in Chapter 2, Verse 255 (Surah Al’Baqarah) of the Holy Quran, whereby Allah says:

“Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.”

There is also other examples included Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran (Surah Al’Ikhlas), whereby Allah says:

Say, “He is Allah , [who is] One, Allah , the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent.”

We believe the greatness of God is something we cannot imagine, because he was the creator of everything in this universe and more. We believe Allah is the God of all people, the same God of Jesus, the same of God of Abraham, the same God of all Muslims and Christians today, because God is One. Allah is the pinnacle and there is nothing before Him.

Allah says in the Quran:

“Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god; Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.”

“Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god; the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah! (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him.”

“He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory; and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.” Quran [59: 22-24]

We don’t say God is human, because the “human” is a creation, we say God cannot not have children because God does not have attributes of humans nor animals.

Islam explained another way

This is the three post explaining Islam. I know it may seem an over load. The reason for this is to get as many    
different ways to explain this great deen to non believers. I pray to Allah that one of ( if not all three) will touch someone's heart.

The word Islam means voluntary “Submission” or “Surrender” to the Will of God. It derives from the root word “salam,” meaning peace.

In the Quran, God defines that the only purpose for which He created mankind is to Worship Him. Islam recognizes that humankind has free choice in whether to obey or disobey God, but ultimately we will be held accountable to God in the next life for the choices that we make in this life.

God sent Prophets to teach mankind how to worship Him; starting with Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and the last of the messengers, Muhammad (peace be upon them all). The Islamic position is that all of these prophets came with the same message, that there is no deity worthy of worship except the One True God, known in Arabic as Allah.

Islam recognizes the close relationship between the body and soul. Whereas the body originates from the earth and has a defined period of life on this earth, the soul originates from God and does not die. Islam encourages the individual to focus on keeping the soul healthy, through the remembrance, obedience and worship of God. There should be a correct balance in strengthening the soul and not over-indulging with the pleasures of the body. Islam is a natural way of life that encourages one to give due attention to their relationship with God and His creation. Islam teaches that it is through the doing of good deeds and seeking the pleasure of God that souls find true happiness and peace. It is in this context that the word Islam derives from the root word “salam,” or peace.

 The next post will be answer the question who is Allah and explain the concept of Allah.(InshaAllah- if it be the will of Allah)

AsSalaam Alkuim,

This weeks post will be a brief bio of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Please read and take away from it all you can.


Brief Biography of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born in the year 571 C.E. His father passed
away before he was born and his mother passed away when he was six years old, leaving him
an orphan in the care of his grandfather, Abdul Mutallib, and then his uncle, Abu Talib, after
his grandfather passed away.
Before Muhammad (peace be upon him) became a Prophet, he was known among
his people as Al-Ameen (The Trustworthy), due to his truthful words, great honesty, and
kind manners. His reputation caught the attention of Khadeejah, a business-woman of great
honour and fortune among the Arabs, and she decided to employ him to do business for her
as a merchant for a certain percentage of the profits. She became so impressed by his
character she decided to propose to him in marriage to which Muhammad (peace be upon
him) accepted. She was 40 years old and he was 25 years old at the time of the marriage.
When Muhammad (peace be upon him) was nearly 40 years old, he began to retreat
to a cave a couple miles from Makkah (where he resided). In the cave he would pass long
hours in meditation and thought. Over the years, his heart became restless about the moral
evils and idolatry that was rampant among his people. His retreats provided privacy and
detachment from the impurities of life, better preparing him for the event to come that
would change not only his life but the course of history.
In the year 610 C.E., that fateful event came to pass when Allah (God) decreed the
sending down of the first revelation through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad (peace be
upon him) who was 40 years old at the time. The event is narrated below by Aisha, the wife
of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) whom he married after Khadeejah’s death:
“The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah's Messenger was in the
form of good dreams which came true like bright day light, and then the love of
seclusion was bestowed upon him. He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira
where he used to worship (Allah alone) continuously for many days before his desire
to see his family. He used to take with him food for the stay and then come back to
(his wife) Khadeejah to take his food likewise again; till suddenly the Truth
descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him and
asked him to "read". The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read."
The Prophet said, "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that
I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read and I
replied, 'I do not know how to read.' Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me
a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked
me to read but again I replied, 'I do not know how to read.' Thereupon he caught me
for the third time and pressed me, and then released me and said, Read in the name of
your Lord, who has created (all that exists), has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is
the Most Generous." (Al-‘Alaq 96:1-3) Then Allah's Messenger returned with the
Inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he went to Khadeejah and said,
"Cover me! Cover me!" They covered him till his fear was over and after that he told
her everything that had happened and said, “I fear that something may happen to
me." Khadeejah replied, "Never! By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you. You keep
good relations with your relatives, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guests
generously and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones."
Khadeejah then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa who during the Pre-
Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters
(i.e., the Gospel). He would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah
wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadeejah said to
Waraqa, "Listen to the story of your nephew, O my cousin!" Waraqa asked, "O my
nephew! What have you seen?" Allah's Messenger described whatever he had seen.
Waraqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets (i.e., Angel Gabriel) whom
Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when
your people would turn you out." Allah's Messenger asked, "Will they drive me out?"
Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said, "All who came with something similar to
what you have brought (i.e., the previous Prophets) was treated with hostility; and if
I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support
you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also
paused for a while.”
This period of pause in revelation became very hard on the Prophet Muhammad (peace
be upon him) and he became so sad that he intended several times to throw himself from
the tops of high mountains, and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to
throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before him and say, “O Muhammad! You are
indeed Allah's Messenger in truth,” whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would
calm down and return home. Whenever the period of the coming of the Revelation used to
become long, he would do as before, but Gabriel would appear again before him and say to
him what he had said before. The period of pause soon ended with the sending of the
second revelation; the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) described the event in the
following words:
“While I was walking, all of a sudden I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up and
saw the same angel who had visited me at the cave of Hira' sitting on a chair between
the sky and the earth. I got afraid of him and came back home and said, 'Wrap me
(in blankets).' And then Allah revealed the following verses (of the Quran): O you
wrapped up! Arise and warn! And your Lord magnify! And your garments purify! And keep away
from the idols! And give not a thing in order to have more. And be patient for the sake of your
Lord! (Al-Muddaththir 74:1-7) After this the revelation started coming strongly,
frequently and regularly.”
Following the revelation of these verses, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
began his mission as a Messenger of God, a mission that would last 23 years until his death
in 632 C.E. For the Prophet and those who accepted his message, they would have to
patiently endure persecution, rejection, economic embargos and consequent poverty and
hunger, even torture and death. But by the facilitation of God and the unshakeable faith of
those who believed in his message, Islam would prove to flourish. Within a 100 years
following the death of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), through the expansion
of the Islamic State, the message of Islam would spread as far East as China and as far West
as Spain. Today, Islam is the world’s second largest religion with over 1 billion adherents and
is statistically the fastest growing religion.

My Allah guide us ALL. Ameen.
