Miracle of Sabar, Patient

Sabar, patient in the face of difficulties


“Therefore be patient with a patience which is beautiful..”
(Quran, Surah al-Ma’arij, 5)

Patience is one of the most important attributes of a believer. What renders patience so valuable is “to be  patient with a patience which is beautiful”. All Mighty Allah creates many incidents for a Muslim  for which he should display patience.
Weaknesses and diseases peculiar to this world, unbelievers’ oppression and insults, people that Allah makes us encounter to test our lower selves are some of these.
It is a great blessing to live in the hope of and willingness to attain Paradise, which is a manifestation of infinite beauties Allah relates us in the Qur’an and the hadith. While hoping to attain Paradise, a believer has  to show a beautiful patience towards the weaknesses of the life of this world.
One of the most important attributes of a beautiful patience is remaining patient with a serene heart. It is being assured that all incidents Allah shows us are created in the best way, in the most wise form. A convinced heart reveals itself from the expression of one’s face, the serenity in his soul and speech. In his face there appears peace in his face that patience gives. His statements reveal maturity and trust in Allah.
A person who shows patience with a beautiful patience does this with the consciousness of the worship he performs and awareness that he is patient for Allah. Therefore he takes pleasure from showing this patience. Just as how a person gives thanks to Allah with his words and deeds when he receives a lot of blessings, and uses those blessings in the best form, he should likewise meet those situations towards which he should be patient and act in the consciousness that they are also blessings from Allah. He must act with the awareness that those incidents are created with many wisdom so as to lay the basis for beauties and experience its beauty while displaying patience.

Another purpose of showing patience is this morality’s rendering one draw closer to Allah and increase a sincere Muslim’s love of Allah. A person who shows patience towards hardship, trouble or a sickness for Allah’s good pleasure knows that every moment, every second of this patience is very precious in Allah’s Sight. In the Hereafter, the rewards of a deed done by showing a beautiful patience and the one done under very comfortable conditions or with no effort at all may not be the same. If a person engages in a deed while at the same time showing patience, his morality may render his deed more worthy. For instance showing self-sacrifice while one is sick and while he is perfectly healthy may not be the same. If a person makes sacrifice for Allah’s good pleasure while he is sick, he, by Allah’s leave, experiences the profound and candid beauty of showing patience. For this reason, until death comes upon them, Muslims always show the kind of beautiful patience Allah describes in the Qur’an when they encounter an incident, whether big or small. In return for their moral perfection and beautiful patience he shows, he lives in the hope of earning Allah’s good pleasure.

Subhanallah! Scientist NASA can prove that Mahsyar will exist

Mahsyar is the gathering place, a field of human post-resurrection from the dead, certainly after the qiyamah, doomsday.

Talk about this mahsyar field, many people  do not believe, they are in doubt, even this has been explained in the Qur'an many times. They are in doubt, how could the man who died will be resurrected after its death.

The prophet Ibrahim alaihisalam, had begged Allah to prove logically how could one day Allah will gather all people in the field mahsyar. This request was not because Abraham did not believe in the power of God Almighty, but only to confirm his faith. By Allah the Prophet Ibrahim was told to train four birds released in four different places with each other. Then at a certain moment the prophet Abraham was told to call the birds, it all came to hear the call prophet ibrahim. In other words, Allah is only called on men to rise from his grave and all will rise obediently submissive like the birds on the prophet Ibrahim Alaihisalam.

Logically the human brain is very limited and his knowledge of this, after the apocalypse happens there is meadow mahsyar, it is impossible, because the universe has been destroyed. Here is a faith in  unseen things. For over 1428 years, the evidence scientifically does not yet exist. But recently astronomers stunned by a new phenomenon in the universe.
  It was shocking. Previously, they theorize that the death star will form a black hole or neutron star before it is completely destroyed. Before dying stars / planets will explode tremendous explosion, more powerful than nuclear, so the results can be seen an explosion of millions of years later as a supernova. The theory of supernova that makes astronomers compete to find new supernovae, supernova. But only lately  astronomers realized that after dead planet or star, there will be a newly formed from the explosion. In other words occur recycling. The full story you can see in the video, titled Planetary LIFE AFTER DEATH: Spitzer'S HIDDEN UNIVERSE.    




So this new discovery proves that logically acceptable  if the universe is destroyed after the apocalypse, there will be 'another world' called mahsyar field.

Regarding this, alquran describes:

يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ وَبَرَزُوا لِلَّهِ
 الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ
On the day when the earth will be changed to other than this earth, and the heavens - and they will all come forth standing before Allah, the One, the Dominant above all. Q.s Ibrahim (15): 48


قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ

HE (Allah) said: "Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from it you shall be brought out (i.e.resurrected)." Q.s Alaraf (7): 25

فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالسَّاهِرَةِ
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.Q.s An naziat (79): 14

Subahanllah, Walhamdulillah, walaailahaillah, Wallahuakabar!!!

Miracle of Lailatul qadr


" Verily! We have sent it (this Qur'aan) down in the Night of Decree (Lailatul-Qadr). And what will make you know what the Night of Decree is? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the Rooh (i.e. Gabriel) by Allaah's Permission with all Decrees, Peace! until the appearance of dawn."
(Al-Qadr 97: 1-5)



إنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنْذِرِينَ فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ أَمْرًا مِنْ عِنْدِنَا إِنَّا
كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ
" We sent it (this Qur'aan) down on a blessed Night. Verily, We are ever warning (mankind of Our Torment). Therein (that Night) is decreed every matter of ordainment. Amran (i.e. a command or this Qur'aan or His Decree of every matter) from Us. Verily, We are ever sending (the Messenger). (As) a Mercy from your Lord. Verily! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower." (Ad-Dukhaan 44: 3-6)

Lailatul qadr is night power, execellence, miracle. This is the night that the Holy Quran was sent down. This is the night when the malaikah (angels) come down to the earth with grace, blessings and peace. Lailatul qadr is the night free from evil and destruction. The miracle night is filled with the safety of azab (punishment).

One who misses this blessed night then he has missed much good for no one misses it except one from whom it is withheld. Therefore it is recommended that the Muslim who is eager to be obedient to Allah should stand in Prayer during this night out of Iman (faith) and hoping for the great reward, since if he does this, Allah will forgive his previous sins.

Rasulullah said in hadits:  "Whoever stands in (Prayer) in Lailatul-Qadr out of  Iman (faithful) and seeking reward then his previous sins are forgiven." (Bukhari)

Healing the Brain With Fasting

The brain is made up of trillions of cells. Three thousand psychoactive chemicals allow the brain to react to outside stimulus. More than fifty psychoactive substances activate aggression, sedation and memory. The brain can perform over 100,000 chemical reactions per second. One hundred billion bits can be stored in the memory, equal to 500 hundred sets of encyclopedias. The brain has 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion connectors for memory alone. Even with today’s high-tech diagnostic tools, most of the brain’s operations remain a great mystery.

There is much to be said for the effects of fasting on the brain and senses.

Thinking is sharper when hungry. When University of Chicago students fasted for seven days, mental alertness increased and their progress in schoolwork was cited as remarkable. The universal testimony of fasters is that thinking is enhanced.

The mental and physical senses are heightened, and often, there can be a feeling of euphoria, especially during longer fasts. Some, for the first time, will experience emotional stability. The reasons for this are multifold—the elimination of the emotional dependence on food, exclusion of stimulating foods like caffeine, processed sugars and trans-fatty acids, all of which can have a devastating effect on delicate emotions.

Within the brain, neuroglial cells supply essential elements to neurons. If any neuron becomes diseased, injured or dies, it is consumed by the neuroglial cells. Their function is to keep the brain clean and healthy. When Albert Einstein died, he donated his body to science. Researchers examining specimens of his brain found that Einstein’s mind had 73% more neuroglial cells than the average person. Einstein had a very “clean” brain.

Dr. Ehret stated an amazing fact at the turn of the 20th century. He said for a fast to awaken the higher mind functions, it had to be longer than 21 days. Fasting has a history of awakening intuitive senses, creativity and deeper spiritual questions in those with enough determination to get past the 21-day mark.

Fasting has been beneficial in cases of paralysis, neuritis, neuralgia, neuroses and mental illness. Dr. E. A. Moras tells of a woman who fasted for seven days on strained orange juice. She had been mentally ill for eight months and treated by eminent neurologists. Her condition improved to the point of being cured by the fifth week after the fast.

Medical science faces tremendous limitations when it comes to healing the brain. The complexity of this organ allows only the most basic intervention. Prescription drugs can have dangerous side effects because of the brain’s delicate balance. Fasting may be the most sensible route to healing mental disorders. It is well known that the brain, if given the opportunity, has a capacity of healing. Fasting will intensify the healing. I have seen a mentally deranged person stabilize in three days of juice fasting. Severe headaches have been cured many times Memory and concentration have been permanently improved. Fasting has also healed depression.

Subhanallah, Miracle of Fasting, can cure disease!

Bismillahhirrahmanirrahim
Once a year, Muslims have to fast for 29 or 30 days when the month of Ramadan arrives. This fasting is obligatory, except in cases of extreme sickness or travel, old age or debilitation. This month is also a month dedicated to worship, in which the Quran was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him) for the first time, and in which any good deed performed gets multiplied rewards. During Ramadan, Muslims eat before dawn and after sunset, abstaining from food, drink, marital relations, and sins in between.

Fasting brings a wholesome physiological rest for the digestive tract and central nervous system and normalizes metabolism. It reduces or eliminates hunger and causes rapid weight normalisation.

Islamic fasting can improve or even cure diseases such as cardiovascular and circulatory diseases, diseases of digestive system, diseases of the muscular-skeletal system including rheumatism, respiratory system diseases including asthma, and the early stage of malignant diseases like cancer.


1 - Mucus diseases
All mucus diseases such as colds, flu, asthma, hay fever, sinus and bronchial troubles are rapidly dissolved and eliminated from the body, leaving the user free from the varied allergies which cause difficult breathing and clogging of the sinus cavities. A patient that suffered from a severe asthma for two or three decades decided to observe the Sunnah fasting (every Monday and Thursday). As a result, she was thoroughly cured after a period of time.
2 - Calcium and cholesterol deposits
The types of diseases that are a result of calcium deposits in the joints, muscles, cells, and glands are readily dissolved and removed from the body. Cholesterol deposits in the arteries and veins also respond to the cleansing power of fasting.
3 - Weight normalisation
Fasting can be used to normalize our weight. As our common sense says, weight reduction is achieved by fasting, along with other health benefits. There are many diet programs using an unbalanced diet that can be dangerous for our health. Fasting is a natural way to normalize our body weight.
4 - Unnecessary fat deposits
Fasting dissolves all unnecessary and unnatural fat deposits all over the body and the body is relieved of a tremendous burden.
5 - Overeating
When fasting for a few days, the stomach shrinks to its normal size and the hungry feeling gradually fades away. When the body goes back to the normal diet, there will not be exaggerated hunger and the urge to overeat will no longer be present.
6 - Revitalizing the digestive systems
Surprisingly enough, fasting programs can be used for underweight people who cannot gain weight even if they stuff themselves with many fattening foods. The cause of both overweight and underweight is a nutritionally unbalanced diet. “People are not nourished in proportion to amount of food they eat, but in proportion to how much they digest and assimilate” (Bragg & Bragg, 1999, p120). Thus what underweight people need is exactly what overweight people need revitalizing the digestive and assimilative systems to work efficiently.
7 - Assimilation recuperation
As metabolism is improved through fasting, the body recuperates the capability to assimilate proteins, fats, carbohydrates, starches, sugars, minerals, vitamins and all other essential nutrients.
8 - Skin problems
The human body uses the skin as a secondary eliminative organ. Because conditions such as boils, abscesses, carbuncles, and pimples are the body’s effort to eliminate poisons, skin problems also disappear as the rest of the body is cleansed (Burroughs, 1976).
9 - Damaged digestive structures
The stomach, intestines and colon are given a complete rest by the fast and are enabled to repair damaged structures. Piles, proctitis, colitis, appendicitis, enteritis, enteric fever (typhoid), gastritis, etc., speedily recover under the fast. The alimentary tract becomes practically free of bacteria during a fast.
10 - Ageing
It renews cells, in other words, those who fast look younger than those who do not. Amazingly, when someone looks at the face of a 40-year-old Muslim woman who reared eight children, they might think she is under 30. This is due mainly to the highly positive effects of fasting.
11 - Bad habits
Fasting can increase a person’s willpower and make them psychologically more resistant to future temptations and find it easier to get themselves out of bad habits and addictions such as addictions to harmful substances: tobacco, drugs, alcohol, tea, coffee, and other habit-forming beverages. Fasting leads our body to get rid of stored toxins, including addictive substances, and we lose our craving and tolerance for them. Thus after fasting we will feel nausea or sometimes have attacks of vomiting, “nature’s purge” if taking addictive substances

Marhaba Ya Ramadhan


يا أيها الذين آمنوا كتب عليكم الصيام كما كتب على
الذين من قبلكم لعلكم تتقون
O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint, – [Quran 2:183]  


Rasulullah Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam stated in hadits:
 
مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ
Narrated Abu Huraira(r.a): The Prophet said:"... whoever fasts during Ramadan out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven." (Sahih Al-Bukhari).

مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ
"... whoever does qiyamul lail (night prayer) during Ramadan out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven." (Sahih Al-Bukhari).

"Fasting is a shield with which a servant protects himself from the Fire." [Ahmad, Saheeh]


Ramadhan is coming soon, the most percious time for us. Lets clean our heart (ikhlas) to welcome and fill this blessing month with good deeds, amal shaleh.

This is the month that Allah multiplies our good deeds, forgives us and blesses us.


Marhaba ya Ramadhan........

Remember, Many Cases of Sudden Death These Days!

The phenomenon of sudden death has been frequently we are witnessing at present. Previously healthy people, with normal-like activity, or even sports soccer, or any type of sport activities-suddenly he fell and died. According to United Nations (UN) data, every year many people die from strokes and heart attacks. Even mentioned that heart disease ranks first of many causes of death at this time.

This video below is one example, that sudden death may come at anytime.



Yusuf al-Sa'ah Asyratus Wabil in his book mentions that the number of sudden deaths is one of the signs of qiyamah nearby. It is based on several news hadith of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam. One hadith;

إن من أمارات الساعة  . . . أن يظهر موت الفجأة

"One of the basic signs of qiyamah is near... Will be a lot of sudden death." (Narrated by Tabaraani and classed as saheeh by al-Albani in Saheeh al-Jami 'al-Sagheer no. 5899)

Surely death is a mystery to humans. No one knows when it comes. But onething certainty that the end (time of death) a person has been recorded in advance in Lawh Mahfouz before humans were created. And when someone has come death, then you can not ask for a moment or postponed. Allah Ta'ala says,

فإذا جاء أجلهم لا يستأخرون ساعة ولا يستقدمون

"When  the death comes, they can not postpone it  and  neither enhance it. " (Surah al-A'raf: 34)

After the death of the charitable opportunities have been exhausted. Humans will get a reply from the deeds, his deeds in the grave, in the form of favors or adzab grave. And when it happens Resurrection, he will be resurrected and held accountable by God for all the deeds he had done in the world.

"If anyone cautious and make repairs, there is no fear come upon them and not (also) they grieve." (QS.Al-A 'raf: 35)

While those who disbelieve and deny the truths of Islam, "And those who deny Our revelations and brag about it, they were the dwellers of Hell to dwell therein." (QS.Al-A 'raf: 36)

Let us take a lesson from this phenomenon, prepare to welcome the call of Allah, to do HIS commands and stay away from all of HIS ban. Waallahua'lam.
