Muslim by Choice

koran-408-x-294.jpg

Sura Ikhlas (112)

Say:He is Allah, the One and Only! قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَد

Allah,the Eternal, Absolute; اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ

ٌ

He begetteth not nor is He begotten. لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

And there is none like unto Him. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

(Yusuf Ali trans.)

  11. A great advise for new muslims
    MUSLIM SALAD
    By: Aaron Haroon Sellars © 2007

    Before Islam I was lost
    And after Islam I was lost
    Between this and that group
    Was I tossed

    A bookstore Shaykh
    Not even worth a dollar
    With do-it-yourself Islam
    Who needs a scholar?

    Tossed so much
    Might as well been a salad
    I was quoting Hadeeth
    But my wudu was invalid

    If I can’t purify my outer
    Then what about my inner?
    Piles of books
    But still a big sinner

    What I know, doesn’t show
    And now I know better
    That’s what happens without the spirit
    And only the letter

    So attach myself I must
    To scholars with unbroken chains
    For this is the means
    By which pure knowledge remains

  12. O God, Whenever I listen to the voice of anything
    You have made -
    The rustling of the trees
    The trickling of water
    The cries of birds
    The flickering of shadow
    The roar of the wind
    The song of the thunder, I hear it saying:
    “God is One!
    Nothing can be compared with God!”
    Rabi’a al-’Adawiyya.

    A certain gnostic once said,”A donkey has more knowledge of God than someone who seeks proof of God’s oneness”.Therefore let not your perception of existent things be that of the suckling child,or the hardened denier,both of whom see them as mere concrete forms.Instead,let is be that of a wise man who understands the signs and sees the creator in the creation,the Fashioner in the fashioned universe.If you think that their formation and molding was a formidable task then know that their creator is more Formidable still ,and that He encompasses all things.
    A certain poet once expressed this well:
    All you grasp with you imagination;
    Majesty,ability and exaltation,
    Higher is He who originated creation,
    Transcendent is He to whom belongs origination!

    Do they not travel through the land, so that their hearts (and minds) may
    thus learn wisdom and their ears may thus learn to hear? Truly it is not their eyes that
    are blind, but their hearts which are in their breasts.Quran 22.46 :)

  13. hi amina
    sehr gute website
    weiter so

  14. Alhamdullillah, Shukur to Allah, Allah HuAkbar, Muhammad Rasullallah the messenger, Let peace be upon you.
    As Moslems we are greatly blessed with Islam as the only religion accepted by Allah.All the creations, be that on earth and between earth the sky, belongs to Him.

  15. the chapter is simple but rich. it epitomizes the basic principle of islamic creed. glad you put it up there.

  16. brother do you ever visit my site? i think no? but why. come and share your idea with us. http://islamicbrothers.blogspot.com

  17. Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting :) You have a beautiful blog here. I will also visit your other blog on blogspot, insha’Allah.

    May Allah bless you :)

  18. thanks for your visit Amina. you have wonderful blogs and Iam happy to discover your blogs.

  19. to know the great truth visit http://islamsister.blogspot.com/

  20. Many thanks for visiting Jahane Rumi - brilliant posts here
    keep it up

  21. The “great truth” of the islamsister blog is that I do not see how it is possible for a muslim/muslims to write all that content there and still call themselves Muslims!!!! La, by the One who created me, anyone who calls for the Qur’an to be banned is NOT a Muslim!! Anyone who affiliates with apostates and the disbelievers in general and strives with them to destroy Islam, Allah will destroy them, if they do not repent. I love Islam and it is my life, so please, do not call yourself a sister of the Muslim women. Amina, I hope you forgive me for writing this comment, but this deen needs to be defended against these mischief seekers who seek to misguide the believers.Allahu musta’an.

  22. nice blog!

    keep up the good work.

  23. Mashallah
    Excellent work.

    Please remember me in your duas.
    Your brother

  35. Can anyone please help!!!!!!!!!

    Answer yes or no.
    About God

    1. Human faculties of conception, perception and learning, and attributes of volition, intuition and apprehension cannot catch sight of
    His Person or fathom the extent of His Might and Glory? ………….

    2. There do not exist words in any language to specify or define His qualities, peculiarities, characteristics and singularities? ……….

    3. Reason and sagacity cannot visualise Him? ………

    4. His Attributes cannot be fixed, limited or defined? …….

    5. None can fully understand or explain His Being however hard he or she my try? ……..

    6. His Worth cannot be described even by the greatest rhetoricians of all times? ……..

    7. Intelligence, understanding and attainment cannot attain the depth of knowledge to study or scrutinise the Godhead? ……….

    8. He is so absolutely Pure and above nature, that nothing can be added to or substacted from His Being? ………

    9. There is no difference between His Person and His Attributes, and His Attributes should not be differentiated or distinguished from
    His Person? ………..

    10. Whoever accepts His Attributes to be other than His Person then actually forsakes the idea of Unity of God and believes in
    duality ( He and His Attributes). Such a person in fact believes Him to exist in Parts. One who holds such a faith cannot form a
    true concept of God, he is ignorant and will always try to believe in some creation of his or her imagination as his or her god? …..

    11. His Existence is not coming into Being from non-existence? …………

    12. He is with everything but not physically and bodily? …….

    13. No physical eye has and will ever see Him? ………

    14. He has not permitted human mind to grasp the Essence of His Being yet He has not prevented them from realising His
    Presence? ………

  36. ASSLAM ALAIKUM ANY MUSLIMAH WANTS TO MARRY WITH A RELIGOIS GUY CONTACT ME COZ I WANT TO MARY A GIRL TO WHO PERMORF SALAT 5 TIMES AND RELIGIOS, MY MOBILE NO,0091-9335224044

  37. To say that God is One has four meanings: Two of those meanings are incorrect and two are correct. The incorrect meanings are

    The first incorrect meaning is that when a person says: “God is One” he thinks in terms of numbers. He is therefore at error, because the Being of God has no second, thus it cannot enter into the category of numbers. Don’t you see that those who say God is the third of a Trinity [i.e., the Christians] fell into infidelity?

    The second incorrect meaning is to say that an entity belongs to a species or a member of a species. This does not apply to God, for it implies something is similar to God: But God is above all similarities, for He is unique.

    As to the two meanings which are correct when applied to God:

    The first correct meaning is to say that God is One in the sense that there is no likeness unto Him, since only God possesses such uniqueness.

    The second correct meaning is to say that God is One in the sense that there is no multiplicity or division conceivable in Him, neither outwardly nor in the mind nor in the imagination. Only God possesses such a Oneness (unity)

    DITTO IMRAN ALI ;) Except I prefer lower case letters.

    Monsur Awan

  38. sister, salam alaikom, can you please direct me to where can i get a copy of the holy qur’an with the Polish translation. jinkuya, and jazaki Alah khiran.

  39. wasalam and thx for stopping by!

    Bro Imran, I wish I could help you in matter of matrimony but I’m afraid I can’t. First of all I’m not a good match-maker…in fact I’m so pathetic that I can’t even find match for myself :P Secondly I’m not sure how or if muslim ladies that I know here, would marry and go all the way to India from Europe. Insha Allah, you will find your life partner soon.

    Now, Mr Mercy Awan ;)
    that was really interesting thought, never heard it before, we will all surely benefit from it, thx! It has actually reminded me of song called: “One love” by U2. Have you ever heard it? Version with Mary J Blige is awesome!

    Dear Amar,
    You can find Quran translated into many languages also in polish under: http://www.theholyquran.org/ and http://www.quran.org.uk/?Page=links&CatID=5
    There is also: http://islamic.org.uk/ and http://www.poznajkoran.pl/

    regards to ya from sunny Poland
    Amina

  40. thank you for you response, sister Amina, i was asking for where can i buy the book it self, i saw all these web sites, they all have electronic access only and i couldn’t find a polish-translated hard copy. see if you can help me in this matter i’ll appreciat that.

  41. Salaams Omar,

    Best translation of Qur’an in polish language is, as I humbly believe, one done by Jozef Bielawski.

    I am still looking for hard copy, however there is one organization that have free Islamic literature, including translation of Qur’an in Polish, this is a great way to start.
    You can send your request to mail: CIM_SOCIETY@YAHOO.COM

    They have books on Islam translated into many languages (German, French, Russian, Asian languages etc), and its all free and posted directly to your house.

  42. To the lovely Ms. Amina: I have written a new blog entry on Hafiz. I’m very interested in your opinion on this and how it meshes or does not mesh with Islam as you practice it. I wish to visit Shiraz so badly and discover the part of Iran and Persian history and culture which never get publicized by U.S. journalists.

    Whenever I read the work of Hafiz, I ask myself, “If Iran is so conservative, why do people revere this poet’s very tombstone?”

  43. thank you Amina, i’ll do that.

  44. Arabic is the most rich language that you could feel and enjoy listining, reading or writing it.

  45. Go to http://www.aqidah12.wordpress.com and write comments everyday.

  46. Jazakallahu Khairan for your fantastic post. May Allah Bless You Akhi…Amin.

  47. Im impress

  70. As Salam alaikum, Amina and a belated Eid Mubarak. Like you, I am a converted Muslim. I had a question about the CIM_SOCIETY. You said the send books for free. Is that anywhere or only certain countries. I am living with my husband in Bangladesh. This is why I am asking. If you know, please inform me. Thanks.

  71. Wasalam L.Anahi

    As I understood from their site, they are able to send books free worldwide. So far, I have received only positive conformations about it from my readers, in India, Indonesia, Aussie so I guess there shouldn’t be any problem in sending books to Bangladesh. I think it is worth of trying :)

    regards from Poland :)

    I was in Krakow last summer and did not come across any mosque. Are there many Muslims in Poland? Do people accept your Muslim practises easily?
