Burning the Qur'an & Islamophobia

It is very interesting how Muslims outside of America have a very distorted few of Islam in America. I was born and raised Muslim in the USA and I have never had a problem being Muslim here, to this day, alhamdulillah!  Here is my comments on the "Qur'an burning"! 

Allah (SWT) wants Muslims to give "da'wah" and since the large majority of the Muslims in America are not I truly believe Allah (SWT) allowed this ignorant individual to do something that no Muslim has been able to do in this century, i.e., to bring direct attention to the Qur'an to the entire world, alhamdulillah! If we Muslims don't, Allah (SWT) will make a way to spread Islam, just like 911!

Even though Muslims did not play a major roll in all that took place on that dreadful day except being dupes in a sinister plan to discredit Islam! 911 was a blessing and a mercy for Muslims! Before 911 countless numbers of Muslims in the USA were trying to be invisible, not be noticed. 911 was like turning on the lights in a roach infested house (USA)! The Muslims were exposed and were forced to take account of themselves. They were at the center of attention and still remains there, alhamdulillah! Muslims were forced to talk about Islam and Muslims. It would be nice to see the so-called Muslim leadership stop being so apologetic about an event that Islam, the Muslim Ummah had nothing to do with. It is amazing how Muslims are so afraid!

What are they afraid of? Shaitan was behind 911 and the burning of the Qur’an. As you know he is mankind's greatest enemy and all he does is whisper. It seems the majority of Muslims worldwide are listening and embracing what they hear! We Muslims should be waging war against Shaitan! See attachment! Fortunately, Allah, (SWT) doesn't need us Muslims to spread Islam. He lets our enemy do it for us, alhamdulillah! After the first gulf war it was reported that over ten thousand Americans became Muslim. This present war is causing tens of thousands throughout the world to embrace Islam. "The Qur'an burning" has cause millions of people around the world to want to know "What is this Qur'an?" "Why would anyone want to burn it?" "We should read it and see what is all the fuss about." Remember what Umar (RA) did when he was on his way to kill our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW)! I can not imagine how many will read the Qur'an for the first time and...accept Islam. I pray that ignorant individual who started this will read the Qur'an and and accept Islam! Amen! Allah (SWT) alim!

Why are Muslims so concerned about what has become known as "Islamophobia"? Did our beloved Prophet (SAW) fret over it? Islamophobia is Shaitan at work! So Muslims need to stop asking people to like them! Stop asking to be accepted! Stop getting in front of a camera "Apologizing! We need to start asking people to accept the "Deen of Islam". We may find Islam is loved by more people than we think! Remember every human has a fitrah!

Actions For Which Rewards Are Multiplied

1. Preserving the ties of kinship:
" Whoever wishes that his provision be increased and his age lengthened, let him maintain the ties of kinship." [al-Bukhari and Muslim]

2. Performing many prayers in the two noble Harams (in Makkah and Madinah):

"Prayer in this masjid of mine is superior to a thousand prayers elsewhere, except for Masjid al-Haram, and prayer in Masjid al-Haram is superior to one hundred thousand prayers elsewhere."

[Ahmad and ibn Majah]

3. Performing prayers in congregation.

"Prayer in congregation is superior to praying individually twenty-seven times."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

4. Praying Isha and Fajr in congregation:

"He who prays Isha in Jamaah [congregation] is as if he has prayed for half the night. As to him who (also) prays Fajr in congregation, it is as if he has prayed all night."

[narrated by Malik and the wording is that of Muslim who also reported it]

5. Performing voluntary (nafil) prayers at home.

"Superiority of a mans prayer in his home over his prayer when people see him is like the superiority of an obligatory prayer over a voluntary one." [al-Bayhaqi, classed as Saheeh by al-Albani] "The most superior prayer of a person is in his home, except for obligatory prayers." [al-Bukhari and Muslim]

6. Observing some manners of the day of Jumuah.

"Whoever does ghusal on the day of Jumuah, then comes in the earliest time and before the first khutbah, walks and doesnt ride, stays near the Imam, listens and does not speak - for each step [he makes] he has actions of one year, the reward of fasting and standing in prayer in it." [Ahl as-Sunan]

7. Salat ul-Ishraq.

"Whoever prays al-ghadaa (i.e. al fajr) in congregation, then sits remembering Allah until sunrise, then prays two units of prayer, has a complete reward of Hajj and Umrah [The Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, repeated complete three times for emphasizing]." [at-Tirmidhi, classed as Saheeh by al-Albani]

8. Attending lectures in the mosque.

"Whoever goes to the mosque not desiring except to learn or teach what is good has the reward of a pilgrim who completed his Hajj."

[at-Tabarani, classed as Saheeh by Al-Albani]

9. Performing Umrah in the month of Ramadhan.

"Umrah in Ramadhan is equal to a Hajj with me." [al-Bukhari]

10. Performing obligatory prayers in the Mosque.

"Whoever leaves his home in a state of purity to perform obligatory prayer, his reward is like that of a pilgrim (while) in the state of ihram [i.e. he receives reward similar to that of spending time in ihram during Hajj]." [Abu Dawud, classed as Saheeh by Al-Albani] So one should be in a state of purity when leaving ones home, rather than the place for ablution within the mosque, except due to necessity.

11. Being from the people of the first row in congregational prayers.

Irbad bin Saariyah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, used to seek forgiveness for [the people of] the first row three times, and for [the people of the] second row once." [an-Nasai and Ibn Majah].
"Allah and His Angels make salawat upon [the people of] the first row." [Ahmad, with a good isnad]

12. Prayer in Masjid Qubaa in Madinah:

"Whoever purifies himself in his house then comes to Masjid Qubaa and prays in it has the reward like that of Umrah." [an-Nasai and Ibn Majah]

13. Saying what the caller to prayer says:

"Say as they say [i.e. callers to prayer], and when you finish, ask and you will be given."

[Abu Dawud and An-Nasai] That is, supplicate when you finish repeating after the caller to prayer.

14. Fasting Ramadhan and following it with six days of Shawwal.

"Whoever fasts Ramadhan, then follows it with six (days) of Shawwal, it is like fasting all the time." [Muslim]

15. Fasting three days each month.

"Whoever fasts three days each month, it s like fasting all the time." [at-Tirmidhi]. This is supported by the verse, "Whoever comes with a good deed for him is a tenfold [reward]." One day being equal to ten days.

16. Providing food for breaking of the fast:

"Whoever provides food for breaking of the fast of a fasting person receives the reward of the fasting person, without the reward of the fasting person being reduced in any way." [at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah]
17. Standing in prayer on Laylatul-Qadr.

"Laylatul Qadr is better than a thousand months" [Quran 97:3], that is, superior to approximately 83 years of worship.

18. Jihad.

"Standing of a man in a row (saff) in the way of Allah is superior to 60 years of worship." [al-Hakim, classed as Saheeh by al-Albani] This is the superiority of standing in a row, so what about one who fights in the way of Allah for days, or months, or years?

19. Ribaat.

"Whoever takes a post (at borders of Muslim lands, where an enemy may be expected) for a day and night in the way of Allah has the reward of fasting and standing in prayer for a month, and whoever dies in such a state receives a continuous reward similar to it, and is [also] rewarded with provision and saved from al-Fattaan." [Related by Muslim] Al-Fattaan is punishment of the grave.

20. Righteous actions in the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.

"There are no days in which righteous deeds are dearer to Allah than these ten [days of Dhul Hijjah]." They said, "O Messenger, even jihad in the way of Allah?" He said, "Not even jihad in the way of Allah, except for the man who leaves with his wealth, and does not return with any of it (life or wealth)." [al-Bukhari]

21. Frequent recitation of Quranic soorahs.

"Qul HuwaLlahu Ahad" is equal to a third of the Quran and "Qul yaa ayyuhal Kaafiroon" is equal to a fourth of the Quran." [at-Tabarani, classed as Saheeh by Al-Albani]

22. Al-Istighfaar.

"Whoever seeks forgiveness for believing men and believing women, Allah will write for him a good deed for each believing man and believing woman." [at-Tabarani, classed as Hasan by Al-Albani]

23. Fulfilling peoples needs.

"That I walk with my Muslim brother in [fulfilling his] need is dearer to me than being in itikaf in the masjid for a month."

[Ibn Abi Dunya, classed as Hasan by al-Albani]


24. Dhikr.

That I say Subhaan Allah, wal-hamdu lillah, wa laa ilaaha ill Allahu wallahu Akbar is dearer to me than what the sun has risen upon." [Muslim]

Dear Muslims Stop Writing “G-D” and Stop Staying “God”!

  By what name do we call Allah?

There was a time in America that most Americans did not know “Allah” was the name of God! Today it can be rightly assumed that most Americans know that if a Christian Arab or a Jewish Arab or a Muslim Arab call on their Creator they all would say; “Allah!” Since 911 there has been an extreme increase in general knowledge among the average American citizens about the proper name of The God, which is “Allah”. Now when a person mentions Allah by name around a non-Muslim the non-Muslim does not display a lack of awareness of who is being referred to. They know that “Allah” is referring to their God.

What is extremely disturbing today in the twenty first century there are Muslims who feel it necessary to compromise their Deen and disrespecting their Creator by using the word God when they know His proper “Name is Allah”! Then to make things worst they feel extremely proud to communicate with other Muslims in writing with the G-d. Why? Only Allah knows why a Muslim who reads the Qur'an and pray salah would regularly use God in speech and G-d in writing!

Dear Muslims stop calling Allah by an inferior name, one He has not told us to call Him by. Stop being more concerned about offending a non-Muslim by say Allah and be more concerned about your own salvation by calling Allah as He wants us to. We are here to worship Allah not appease non- Muslims.

“The most beautiful names belong to Allah: so call on Hill by them; but shun such men as use profanity in His names: for what they do they will soon be requited.” Qur'an Sura Al-A'raf 7:180  (Y.A. translation)


“Allah! There is no god but He! To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.” Qur'an Sura Ta-ha 20:8  (Y.A. translation)


“He is Allah the Creator the Evolver the Bestower of Forms (or colors). 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.” Qur'an Sura Al-Hashr 59:24  (Y.A. translation)


(from Internet) "The Muslims prefer calling the Supreme Creator, Allah, instead of by the English word ‘God’. The Arabic word, ‘Allah’, is pure and unique, unlike the English word ‘God’, which can be played around with.


If you add ‘s’ to the word God, it becomes ‘Gods’, that is the plural of God. Allah is one and singular, there is no plural of Allah. If you add ‘dess’ to the word God, it becomes ‘Goddess’ that is a female God. There is nothing like male Allah or female Allah. Allah has no gender. If you add the word ‘father’ to ‘God’ it becomes ‘God-father’. God-father means someone who is a guardian. There is no word like ‘Allah-Abba’ or ‘Allah-father’. If you add the word ‘mother’ to ‘God’, it becomes ‘God-mother’. There is nothing like ‘Allah-Ammi’, or ‘Allah-mother’ in Islam. Allah is a unique word. If you prefix tin before the word God, it becomes tin-God i.e., fake God. Allah is a unique word, which does not conjure up any mental picture nor can it be played around with. Therefore the Muslims prefer using the Arabic word ‘Allah’ for the Almighty. Sometimes, however, while speaking to the non-Muslims we may have to use the inappropriate word God, for Allah.”


A statement from a Jewish women indicates the use of the G-d! (from Internet)

“I grew up going to yeshiva and never received such a lovely explanation. My daughter is five years old now and I have been searching for a way to explain something unseen. At four years old she asked if our Rabbi was G-d this was confusing and difficult for me to respond to. Now I feel I have a strong explanation.”


"The following is a very good explanation as to why a Jewish person will us G-d! Remember Muslims are under the guidance of the Qur'an not any Jewish understandings or practices.


Jews interpret the law given by Moses as a prohibition against transcribing the name of God, because they feel that if God is recorded onto a piece of paper, there is the possibility that the name will be disrespected or destroyed in some way. The general concern with writing G-d in its true form is that it might be erased, defaced by being crossed out or scribbled upon, torn, thrown in the trash, or ravaged in some other way. Writing G-d instead of God communicates the writer’s idea effectively, but since G-d is incomplete, there is no risk of defacement. The Jews have other names for their creator besides G-d, including Hashem, YHVH, Elohim, and El Shaddai, which are also not written in their complete form.


There are, however, exceptions to the prohibition of writing God rather than G-d. The Jews believe that on occasion, it is acceptable to write God when there is no likelihood that the written word will be defaced. This includes the written form of God in the Torah, which is the Hebrew Bible, also found in the first five books of the Christian Bible. Writing the name of God is not prohibited when it is done carefully, with foresight and respect."

Dear Mu'minun (Believers), those who follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Muhammad (SAW):

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu wa maghfiratuh! Please do not respond to this giving reasons as to why you do this! This would be improper, amounting to Shirk! No person has been pointed out, no names have been given, so take all you complaints or excuses to Allah (SWT) were they will be dealt with properly, insha'Allah. Please do not try to argue this with mere humans, Allah (SWT) is the only One we need to answer to! Please correct yourselves and seek Allah's (SWT) forgiveness.


For you who have read this this has been an admonition for you so heed. I am just a deliver of the truth! I will not respond to any rebuttal on this; for if you feel or think different than this then you are beyond my responsibility! Alhamdulillah! Alhamdulillah! Alhamdulillah anything that I have stated here is correct it is from Allah (SWT) and anything that is not correct it is from me and may Allah (SWT) forgive me! Amin. May we as Muslim start using Allah's proper Name “Allah” and His other 99 Beautiful Names! Amin! Ma salaam!
