------ Knowing what Islam called for!------------- -------What ALLAH wants from Humanity, from us! What Islam called for is unconditional surrender-unconditional submission to ALLAH who is the creator of all things. This is what ALLAH wants from Human kind, from mankind, unconditional surrender of the human Heart, unconditional surrender of the human mind and unconditional surrender of the human Soul! To the will and authority of ALLAH who is the creator of all things, The ALL- Powerful Rabb! The Originator, The Planner, The Fashioner, The Designer, The Maker, The Architect of The Heavens and the Earths!—The Quran(Surah Al-?ashr-22:23:24)(22) Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.(23) Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah! (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him.(24) He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.---(Surah 41:11) Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together), in willing obedience."( Commentary: This is the kind of obedience! This is the kind of unconditional surrender ALLAH wants from mankind in this life! That the Muslim people, that mankind hear and obey! Without conditions, without reservation, without hesitation. And do submit to the command of ALLAH without question! This is what ALLAH wants from the human being!
--It is imperative that the Muslim people know the true Islam! That Islam! That was revealed to Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) By ALLAH! That Islam that Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) live every day of His life! That Islam! That has inspired the Hearts of millions and Millions Muslim people for the last 14 century! That Islam! That in 1 century! Changed the direction of the entire then known world from the dark ages of ignorance to Spiritual and scientific enlightenment! Most Muslims people don't know real Islam or what Islam really called for! or what was Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) true teaching were or what the Holy Quran teaches.----- The Qur'an and the "Hadeeth" (teachings of Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) are the ultimate sources for knowledge in Islam-- That is, one must have the basic and general knowledge of Islam. we should do our best to learn at least the basics of Islamic beliefs, the basics of what shahadah means. In this way, Allah willing, we will be making the correct shahadah. We will be witnessing to the truth as we are supposed to be witnesses to it. la hawla wala quwwata illa billah(There is no Might and no power except with ALLAH!)
If the Muslim people knew! If the Muslim Ummah knew what Spiritual Power and Strength that exist in Islam! In this Din! In Du'a! The Spiritual power and strength in glorifying ALLAH! The spiritual power in Du'a, We raise our Hands up toward the sky with words that reach the Highest heavens and our tears fall down to the ground and the heavens are moved and ALLAH sends His Help Angels rank upon rank!-- There are certain conditions that must be meet in order to benefit from such a Dua'. In fact these conditions are what will determine who will benefit from their dua and who will not benefit from saying it- -A major conditions is that the Hearts of the Muslims People must be clear and turn toward ALLAH ! Because when hearts are clear the Help of ALLAH is very quick in coming! Some of the conditions are we must have good KNOWLEDGE AND CERTAINTY-SINCERITY-KHUSHOO(devotion)-TRUTHFULNESS-SUBMISSION AND COMPLIANCE.There are other times when these conditions do not apply! This is the time when one is oppressed And ALLAH promises to Answer the prayers of the oppress unconditional!

We must work hard to learn, understand and practice these rules or principles of Islam and all that Islam called for! Before we run out time on this Earth and before the sun rises from the west, then it would be too late for our shahadah and our tawbah to help us at all. [This is the time for The righteous scholars to come to the forefront and teach and educate the Muslim people! Educate The Muslim world in every aspect of Islamic life !] When we say The Righteous Scholars! We are not talking about those secret agents who study at some Islamic University, who were a secret agents before they went in to the university and they were a bigger secret agents when they came out of the University with a Islamic degree,. We are not talk about those who study at some Islamic University got a degree and came out and join the Masons! We are not talking about those enemies of ALLAH! Who went to study Islam in order to use it as a tool against the Muslim Ummah! On the authority of Abu Dardaa' (ra), Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said: “Verily, the scholars are the heirs of the Prophets.” The righteous scholars are the heirs of the Prophets And the Imams of the people and After Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)and His Sahabah and after the Tabiyan and after the tabiyan, tabiyan; they guided and direct the people to Allah (SWT) and taught them His Din (Islam); and they have noble manners and praiseworthy attributes. They are the scholars of the truth; Scholars of guidance and righteousness and also they are the successors to the Prophets; they fear Allah (SWT) much and are constantly checking their actions, and pay great importance to what He(ALLAH) orders and forbids. They follow in the footsteps of the Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)and His Sahabah : in their teaching and instructing, their character and actions, in their words and conduct and, as a result, they suffer in the same way that the Sahabah and the righteous did before them. The righteous scholars suffer persecution and oppression, mockery and ridicule, torture and imprisonment and murder in the same way that some of the Sahabah and the righteous did.
They speak and uphold the truth wherever they go in order that the Din of Allah (SWT) may "be supreme over all other religions even though the disbelievers may detest it," and they pay for it dearly. On the authority of Anas bin Malik, Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)said: "Among the signs of the Hour will be the disappearance of knowledge and the appearance of ignorance." Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalanee said, commenting on this Hadeeth: "Indeed it will not disappear except with the deaths of the Ulama(The Righteous Scholars)." In this day and age, how few are the scholars that are suffering for no other reason except that they are speaking the truth. Some of them have been killed and some of them have been imprisoned, whilst others still remain under house arrest in this day and time. The practice of the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is a knowledge that has been [mostly] lost[from among people]; only its name continues to exist. It is a practice that has been abandoned; only its outline remains. It is a road whose milestones have been obliterated by wild animals (the ignorant people), and whose water sources have been dried up by the enemies. Thus the Muslim people who takes this road are strangers among people, unique in their surroundings, distant[from others] despite their physical closeness, lonely despite numerous of people and neighbours. "If only there had been, in the generations preceding you, people having wisdom, prohibiting others from evil in the earth; except a few of those whom we have saved from among them." (Qur'an Hud 116).
This verse speaks of the few people on earth, the "strangers", who prohibit mankind from evil. These are the same people Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) spoke about when he said, "Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings [ar. Tooba. This is a tree in Paradise. So Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is giving the good news of Paradise to these strangers.] to the strangers." It was asked, "Who are those strangers, Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)?" He replied, "Those that correct the people when they become corrupt." [Reported by Abu Amr al-Dani, from the hadith of ibn Masoud. It is authentic according to al-Albani. Another narration says, "Those that correct my Sunnah which has been corrupted by the people after me."] In another narration he said in response to the same question, "They are a small group of people among a large evil population. Those who oppose them are more than those who follow them." [Reported by ibn Asaakir. It is authentic according to al-Albani.]------------- The Muslim people, the Strangers are alone in the way of ALLAH seeking our goal the pleasure of ALLAH, feeling no satisfaction until we achieves it. ----- These praiseworthy people are called strangers since they are a small minority among mankind. Thus, Muslims are strangers among mankind; the true believers are strangers among Muslims; and the scholars are strangers among the true believers. And the followers of the Sunnah, those that clear themselves from all peoples of innovation, are likewise strangers.--------We are with the people in our bodies, but away from them by virtue of our goal seeking the pleasure of ALLAH. The people of the world eyes sleep indifferently, neglecting to seek the Guidance of ALLAH; but the believing muslim people, the Strangers spends their nights awake. -In reality, however, their strangeness is only because they are the minority and it is not because their actions and beliefs are strange. This is what Allah says in surah al-Anaam,
"And if you obey most of the people on Earth, they will lead you astray" (Qur'an al-Anaam 116). Allah also says, "And most of mankind will not believe, even if you (O Muhammad) desire it eagerly" (Qur'an Yusuf 103);"And truly, most of mankind are rebellious and disobedient (to Allah)." (Qur'an al-Maidah 49)"But nay, most of mankind are ungrateful" (Qur'an Yusuf 38).
Therefore, Allah, the All-Knowing Creator, knows that most of mankind will not follow the truth. Instead, only a small group of people will be set apart that truly and correctly believe in Him, the strangers from among mankind.------The negligent and neglectful people of the world: They are too lazy for migration to the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) while believing muslim people are totally engrossed in its pursuit. ----- The strangers in belief, however, and the strangers in character and actions are in reality the majority of mankind, for they are strange to Islam and to the laws that Allah has revealed---. Thus we see that there are various types of strangeness, of which some are praiseworthy, some are blameworthy and some are neither praiseworthy or blameworthy.
You should know, may Allah have mercy upon us, that strangeness is of three types:
The first type of strangeness is the strangeness of the "People of Allah and the People of His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)Which we mentioned previously. This strangeness is a praiseworthy strangeness, as it has been praised by Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
. Therefore, this kind of strangeness should be sought and its people must be supported. This strangeness occurs in different times, in different places, and among different peoples. These strangers, then, are the true "People of Allah" for they do not worship ought save Him, and they do not take support from any path except the path of Truth, the path of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), and they do not call to anything except that which has been brought by Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam).

These are the people who left mankind when they (the strangers) were in need of them the most. For, on the Day of Judgment, when all other groups will go with that which they used to worship, they will stay in their places. It will be said to them, "Will you not go as the other people have gone?" They will answer, "We had abandoned the people (in this life), and we were more in need of them then we are today, and we will wait for our Rabb whom we used to worship." [Recorded by Al-Bukhaari and Muslim] Thus it is apparent that this strangeness does not cause its bearer any discontent. Rather it is a comforting strangeness, a solace to the believers. This is because he knows that his helpers is Allah, His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) and those who believe [This is a reference to verse 55 of surah al-Maidah], even if all of mankind left and abandoned him.
These strangers are again described in a hadith narrated by Anas ibn Malik, in which Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
said, "It is possible that a disheveled, dusty person, with not many belongings [Literally, "with two headdresses"], who is not noticed among the people, if he asks of Allah, Allah will fulfil his prayer." [Reported by at-Tirmidhi and al-Hakim. Al-Albani said it is authentic.] Al-Hasan al-Basri [a very famous Follower – tabi‘ - known for his piety, asceticism and knowledge] said, "A believer is a stranger in this world, he is never afraid of its humiliation, and he never competes for its glory. The people are in one situation and he is in a different situation. The people are content with him, yet he is in turmoil [Literally, "tired"] with himself." From the characteristics of these strangers that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)

described is the holding on to the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)
, even if the people abandon it. They, the strangers, leave all the innovations that their people invent, even if such practices should be common among them. They also stick to tawheed, even if the people corrupt it with shirk. They do not ascribe themselves to anything besides Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam);
They do not, that is, ascribe themselves to a shaikh, tariqah, particular madhhab or a group of people. They are dedicated only to Allah, with their sincere worship of Him and Him alone, and to His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), by following the path that he followed. These are the people who grasp the glowing hot embers [A reference to the hadith that is to follow], even though most of mankind - nay, all of them - blame them for this. This is the meaning of the statements of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) alluding to the fact that they stick to his Sunnah, even if the people corrupt it.

Allah, all praise be to Him, sent His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)

when mankind followed different religions, for there were those who worshipped rivers and trees, and there were those who worshipped idols, and there were Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians. Than, when Islam first appeared among these people,it was strange to them. If a person from among them accepted Islam and followed the call of Allah and His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) , That person would be shunned by his family and his tribe. He would live the life of a stranger among his people. Eventually, however, Islam spread far and wide. The Muslims became stronger and stronger, so much so that the strangers were those that did not accept the teachings of Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam). --------But, alas, Satan deceived mankind again. People took to the ways that their forefathers(Jahiliyyah), who had accepted Islam, had abandoned it until, finally, Islam became strange again, just like it had started and just like Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) had foretold. Nay, indeed, rather the true Islam - that which Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) and his Sahabah were following [this is a reference to the reply that Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) gave when asked what the characteristics of the "Saved Group" were] has become even stranger to the people then when it initially appeared, even though its outward signs and external relics are well known and widespread. [This is what ibn al-Qayyim, wrote in the 8th Century of the Hijrah, wrote. Imagine our situations 7 centuries after him. May Allah protect us.] How can it not be so, when these strangers are only one group among seventy-two others! Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) said in an authentic hadith that this Ummah would divide into seventy-three groups, all of which would go to Hell except the one Saved Group.], each of which follows its own desires and takes its passions as gods?

Those are the groups that base their teachings on doubts and innovations and whose sole purpose is the gratification of their own desires. Thus, the group whose goal is to achieve the pleasure of Allah by following the path of His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) will be the strange one among all of the other groups. This is why the true Muslims - those that adamantly cling to the Sunnah - will have the reward of fifty Companions. When Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) was asked about the verse, "O you who believe! Take care of your own selves. If you follow right guidance, no harm can come to you from those who err" (Qur'an al-Maidah 105) he said, "Nay indeed, order good and forbid evil until you see stinginess being obeyed, and desires being followed, and this world preferred [over the next], and each person being deluded by his own opinions. Then take care of yourself and---LEAVE THE COMMON PEOPLE.FOR INDEED,AFTER YOU THERE WILL BE DAYS OF PATIENCE,WHERE PATIENCE WILL BE LIKE HOLDING ON TO GLOWING EMBERS. Whoever is able to do this will have the reward of fifty people that do like him." They asked, " Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam), the reward of fifty of them?" He replied, "The reward of fifty of you" [Recorded by al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud with a weak chain but it has supporting evidence. Al-Albani calls it sahih. See al-Sahiha, #957]. This reward is due to his strangeness among the people.
So, if the believer whom Allah has blessed with knowledge, wisdom and understanding wants to tread upon this path, the path of Allah, then let him be prepared to resign himself to the life of a stranger among his people, just like his predecessors who accepted Islam were treated by the people as strangers. For indeed, he will be a stranger in his beliefs, because his people have corrupted their beliefs. He will be a stranger in his(Din) religion(ISLAM), due to what the people have done to it. He will be a stranger in his manners and prayer, because the people are ignorant of the manners of the Muslim and of prayer of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam). He will be a stranger in his ordering of good and prohibiting evil, for the people have taken what is evil as good and they have abandoned what is good as evil. Then also, he will be a stranger in all his matters of this world and the Hereafter, calling to the path of Allah and withstanding the harm of all those that go against him this is to attain the pleasure of ALLAH!.
--------------- In short, in this time of the dajjal! There will be many who will seek to harm the believing Muslim people! MAY ALLAH HAVE MERCY AND PROTECT US! ------
