OUR PREPARATION? - Dec. 13th, 2021

 

OUR PREPARATION?

 

-      Dec. 13^th, 2021

 

In an earlier post by me, there was a question about OUR PREPARATION in relation to End times as in Islam. Firstly, I got interested in the topic when I discovered the website by Turkish Scholar Harun Yahya in early 2005. Later on, the same year I bought two Urdu Books also which had references from both Qur’an (though the topic is not directly covered in Qur’an) and Ahadith. The image above is about both these books published by Jamia-e-Ashrafia Lahore. After that, more research followed through many other sources. This is the link of my blog-post which tells us what we need to prepare and all that has been shared with others before also as reminder. https://together-we-rise.blogspot.com/2021/10/fitna-e-dajjal-measures-of-protection.html

 

Apart from the instructions (as in Ahadith) in the blog-post, we are good if we essentially strive to pray 5 times a day and recite Qur’an (even if on and off basis). It needs to be stressed that the concept of ABSOLUTE TAQWA (total abstinence) is a myth though we still need to strive in this regard as well. Even senior religious scholars can make serious blunders and every son of Adam (pbuh) other than the Prophets (peace be upon them all) is a wrong-doer one way or the other. ‘Some’ of the Elderly religious men who pray in mosque show such attitude at times that one is left wondering how could that be possible, though thankfully there are still only few like that everywhere.

 

If we are careful about Haqooq-ul-ibaad of others and if we are not violating the rights of others, then that is great Al-hamdulillah even if we fall short at times. There is always the chance to make compensation for our misdeeds towards others and even after someone we have wronged has passed away.

 

Is something big coming in the world soon pertaining to End times in Islam? We need to prepare in any case as the preparation for End times is almost what is required for what we need to prepare for our afterlife (though few things are additional).

 

ALLAHu Akbar!

EVOLUTION - 13th December, 2021

THE DAY 'THE FINAL COUNTDOWN' BEGAN

It happened all of a sudden. Life is unpredictable, so is Divinity. The red skies can be deceptive. They can either hurl storms at Mother Earth or produce friendly winds. We wait in silence for the ultimate decree!

THE INSIDE OF MOSQUE - 10th October, 2021

 THE INSIDE OF MOSQUE - 10th October, 2021

The attached picture is of the mosque in our area and picture taken on Sunday, 10th October, 2021, after Asr prayer. The experience of offering Salah in mosque is really very peaceful apart from spiritual benefits. We have to enter the mosque barefoot which defines our humble submission to the One and Only Creator of time and universe, Almighty Allah. Salah in mosque is actually easier than offering it alone at home because in case of latter the environment fails to impart the desired motivation apart from many distractions. We can still try to create some environment at home but even then it can be no match for mosque.

We can at least succeed in offering some of our prayers at mosque with congregation if not all on daily basis. During weekdays. office workers could find it almost impossible to visit mosque for prayers. That's why offices have prayer rooms where Salah can be offered in congregation (jamaat).

After prayers in mosque, some people sit and read some portion of Qur'an or indulge in Zikr, all of which is spiritually uplifting. It is an overall soothing experience!

The man from second-right in the above picture, who is reading Qur'an, is a retired banker with 30 years of experience in National Bank of Pakistan. All sorts of men offer prayers regularly in this mosque, general folk, students and old men.

I LOVE MY MOSQUE .
