VIDEO - Why Muslims should not celebrate Christmas



VIDEO - Why Muslims should not celebrate Christmas


NOTE: This is a Facebook video so you can log in to view it but if you don't have a FB account then you may still be able to see it. Secondly, as far as Christian minorities in Pakistan are concerned, of course we should let them celebrate the event but without participation by Muslims.

A sensitive topic for youngsters



Is Masturbation allowed if it stops you from committing the actual act of zina?

Below is an answer on a website followed by my view on it.

Both fornication and masturbation are sinful, harmful and detrimental to one’s spirituality and physical well being. One should avoid all sin and not try to justify a sin as being less detrimental.

Almighty Allah states “Success is really attained by the believers …. who guard their private parts except from their wives or from those (bondwomen who are) owned by their hands, as they are not to be blamed. However, those who seek (sexual pleasure) beyond that are the transgressors” (Quran 23:1-7)

MY VIEW ON IT BUT I AM NOT AN ISLAMIC SCHOLAR - S Roman Ahsan.

According to some Islamic philosophers, if masturbation prevents from greater sins like fornication then it is not forbidden. But it should not be done frequently and yes, efforts need to be made against it by indulging in fasting, prayers, zikr and pure environments. However, some men have higher sexual desire than others and masturbation could be good for them according to psychologists (still they also have to make efforts against it spiritually).

Getting married is not so easy for many young men and they have to wait till they are 30. This is very bad custom and men should marry when they are 25. Also, a male student will not be able to fast on regular basis as he would need energy for studies and other physical acts. Still, he should try to fast at least on every Monday which is the day our dear Prophet (pbuh) also essentially fasted (apart from Ramadan also). He used to fast on Thursdays also.

Masturbation is done by boys after they discover it. And due to advent of media and TV in every home, men are exposed to different stimuli which provoke them into wrong acts. Men cannot totally avoid evil but do their utmost best. If they fall victim to it, they should repent and seek forgiveness of Allah. But don't feel so guilty after it though try to fortify yourself against it.

I am not an Islamic Scholar and consult proper men of Allah and others in this regard. May ALLAH guide us and protect us - Aameen.

Still Waiting for a leader - by S Roman Ahsan




STILL WAITING FOR A LEADER!

By S Roman Ahsan 

- 10th December, 2018 - 2nd Rabi Al-Akhar, 1440

It is not easy to understand and embrace a new set of ideologies if we have spent our entire life chasing an altogether different dream but then we should not claim perfection!

True Muslims hate not just Godlessness but extremism in all forms. The latest is that our national leader disappoints once again. Imran Khan is saying repeatedly that he wants to create Madinah State but he is unnecessarily giving land to Sikhs in Pakistan to build their hotel etc to complement them in their religious rituals. 

This is not the way of our Dear Prophet (pbuh). You should give religious freedom to minorities and protect their worshipping places but never strengthen the Non-Muslims in their religious practices so much. Instead, as a Muslim, you should invite them to truth of Islam for the only true religion is Islam (Islam is perfect, the Muslims are not). But you are rather fortifying the Sikhs to follow their own religion which denies Oneness of God i.e. Almighty Allah.

Let the same old benefits for Sikhs prevail in Pakistan and no need to go to extremes with such measures to prove ourselves as peacekeepers. Sikh pilgrims from India have been accommodated in Pakistan before also since ages. You want to create peace and friendly ties with neighbouring countries? It should not be at the cost of our final abode in afterlife!

You are also trying to please Hindus by cutting cake on Diwali when it is a basic belief of a Muslim never to participate in the religious festivities of Hindus as those are based on paying tribute to their false gods and goddesses. By doing so, one acknowledges their false gods. You need to fear Allah and get your basic concepts of Islam right before you keep repeating like a parrot that you want to create a Madinah State. Shirk (associating partners with Allah) is the greatest sin in Islam and we have to be very careful in this regard lest we offend our Lord, Almighty Allah.

The first responsibility of the Muslim is to believe in One God i.e. Almighty Allah. Shirk is not merely a “sin;” it is the absolute worst sin. This is because it is disbelief in the existence of One God.

If a person commits shirk, then he does not believe in Allah. How so? It’s because Allah has attributes. In order to believe in Allah, you must believe in His attributes. Among those attributes are attributes of Oneness and Absolute Uniqueness (ie. He has no similarities of any kind to anything else). But if a person commits shirk, then he believes that there is something similar to Allah in at least one of Allah’s attributes. And by believing that, he has failed to believe either in Allah’s Oneness or in Allah’s Absolute Uniqueness. (Explanation by Ian Hunt, B.A. Islamic Sharia Law & Islamic Creed).

We Muslims believe in Islam as the culmination of the final message of the Almighty foremost. Our thoughts and actions should be governed by the principles of Islam. Imran Khan’s ignorance and arrogance has shown that he is not really keen about enforcing Islamic way of governance in Pakistan. And he is not making any efforts to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong as per Islam. He is mostly surrounded by hardcore secular associates with little interest in Islam except for few. Our information minister for example is devoid of basic teachings of Islam which speaks volumes on how some important positions have been allocated. The masses in Pakistan are fools and easily turned on by glamour and rhetoric.

We have to wait in Pakistan for a mighty Muslim leader to take charge in future who would work for the glory and supremacy of Islam in sha Allah in all spheres while not shunning principles of due compassion for all. Yes, we are still waiting and we have to pray for that on regular basis!

Surah Ale Imran Verse 110


السلام علیکم

‏..القرآن الکریم..

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم اللہ الرحمان الرحیم


سورۃ: آل عمران
آیت: 110


کُنۡتُمۡ خَیۡرَ اُمَّۃٍ اُخۡرِجَتۡ لِلنَّاسِ تَاۡمُرُوۡنَ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ وَ تَنۡہَوۡنَ عَنِ الۡمُنۡکَرِ وَ تُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰہِ ؕ وَ لَوۡ اٰمَنَ اَہۡلُ الۡکِتٰبِ لَکَانَ خَیۡرًا لَّہُمۡ ؕ مِنۡہُمُ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ وَ اَکۡثَرُہُمُ الۡفٰسِقُوۡنَ ﴿۱۱۰﴾

تم بہترین امت ہو جو لوگوں کے لئے پیدا کی گئی ہے کہ تم نیک باتوں کا حکم کرتے ہو اور بری باتوں سے روکتے ہو ، اور اللہ تعالٰی پر ایمان رکھتے ہو ، اگر اہلِ کتاب بھی ایمان لاتے تو ان کے لئے بہتر تھا ، ان میں ایمان لانے والے بھی ہیں لیکن اکثر تو فاسق ہیں ۔


You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah . If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient.

Life Has Different Moments


LIFE HAS DIFFERENT MOMENTS

Yesterday I took my laptop to a small mobile shop near Lahore Cantt as it had some problems that needed to be fixed. I know the owner since some years and he has a collection of movies also as computer files for sale. He just charges 20 Rs. per movie. I don't watch movies regularly now (only rarely) but he transfers movies to my system for free as I pay him for his other services. Last year I got "Gone with the wind (1939)" from him and I visited him after an year now. Yesterday, I saw he had the whole series of "The Lord of the Rings film trilogy" including the "Hobbitt" series and he saved all 6 movies in my system.

Some people think that "The Lord of the Rings film trilogy" are films for children. They are wrong and elders have also equally enjoyed these movies. I watched the third part "Return of the King" of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy in 2005 and enjoyed it immensely. But I haven't watched the whole series which I am now looking forward to
