| Submission
to the Will of Allah |
| When
Hazrat Ibraheem (alayhis salaam) was told to submit to
Allah Ta’ala, he responded that he had submitted
himself to the Rabb (Sustainer) of the Worlds... Some
Mufassireen (Commentators) say that there are
approximately 18 000 worlds.
Allah Ta’ala
mentions this incident as follows:
“And remember when his Rabb said to him: ‘Submit
(thy will to Me).’ He said: ‘I submit (my will) to
the Lord and Cherisher of the Universe.'” [Surah
Al-Baqarah: 131] |

After
Hazrat Ibraheem (alayhis salaam) made this declaration of submission, there
followed many trials and tests.
As a young man, he was faced with opposition
from his father, who was an idol-worshipper. When he invited his father to
the worship of Allah Ta’ala, his father opposed and threatened him :
He (the father) said: ‘Do you reject my
gods, O Ibraheem? If you stop not (this), I will indeed stone you. So get
away from me safely before I punish you.’ [Surah Maryam 19:46]
Due to Hazrat Ibraheem’s (alayhis salaam)
rejection of idol-worship, and his preaching the message of Allah Ta’ala,
he was thrown into the fire by Namrud and his people:
They said: ‘Build him a furnace and
throw him into the blazing fire.’ [Surah Saffaat: 97]
They said: 'Burn him and protect your
gods if you do (anything at all)!' [Surah Ambiyaa 21:68 ]
It is stated that for an entire month, the
people of Namrud collected firewood, which they thereafter lit, fanning it
until it became an intense, blazing fire. |

NEW ARTICLE:
The
Influence of Television
One of the
many sunnats of the Ambiyaa (‘alaihimus Salaam) is that of Hayaa – shame and
modesty : a quality which is sorely missing in the lives of the majority of
Muslims today and which should otherwise be an outstanding characteristic and
feature of all Muslims, whether married or un-married.

Television
is such an evil that if our society only understood its
reality, then they would find no excuse to watch. Its
spiritual harm is that it takes away the hayaa and shame of
our men, women and children.
The
content of most television programmes is nothing but
immodesty and indecency, which invites nothing but immodesty
and indecency – into our homes, into our lives and the
lives of our children.
However,
this truth and reality seems to just pass over the
understanding of even those Muslims who have some link with
Deen. Many are regular with Salaah, they are seen in the
Musjid, they are wearing the garb of the pious and yet they
will be the ones to present flimsy and feeble excuses to
view television programmes.
Let
us consider this situation of sin from the following view
– which Alhamdulillah, has been a means of many getting
rid of the television.

| ADVICE TO TREASURE:
“Nafs
and Shaytaan, for whose pleasure we commit so many sins,
will not be of any assistance when Izra`eel (‘Alaihis
Salaam) will strike the Sword of Death. Can we expect help
from avowed enemies? No! Therefore, let us act
intelligently by befriending Allah Ta’ala and His Beloved
Messenger, Sayyedena Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
By
giving up sins for the Pleasure of Allah, Allah Ta’ala
reciprocates so much more, by giving us a life of peace and
harmony in this world, in the Qabr (Grave) and in the
Aakhirah (Hereafter).” |
