Cawaale Posted February 12, 2005 Asalaam aleikum..brothers and sisters.. 1rst i'd like 2 say happy new year oll of u 1426h May allah lead us all to the right path.Amiin One of the ways in which the Satan deceives man and makes falsehood attractive to him is calling forbidden things ,, look at how Satan mislead Adam,and making from him forbidden things attractive to him... Then Satan whispered to him, saying: 'O' Adam! Shall I lead you to the tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that will never waste away?'Ta-Ha Chapter 20: Verse 120 One of the ways in which the Satan deceives man and makes falsehood attractive to him is calling forbidden things, which are acts of disobedience towards Allah, by attractive names to deceive people and confuse them about what is really true, as he called the forbidden tree the tree of eternal life, so as to make the thought of eating from it attractive to Adam. He kept claiming that this was the tree of eternal life, and that eating from it would make him live forever in Paradise, or would make him one of the angels, until Adam obeyed him, and was subsequently expelled from Paradise. Look at the friends and supporters of the Satan today, how they use the same means to mislead people: those who adhere to and promote communism and socialism claim that these are the only ways which will rid mankind of confusion, anxiety, ruin and hunger; those who call for women to come out clothed but naked in the name of freedom, and those who call for facile acting which stamps on people's honour and morals, and violates sacred limits in the name of art; those poisonous ideas which promote depositing money in interest-based banks in order to earn profits in the name of development and high profits; and those who claim that adhering to religion constitutes bacdwardness and stagnation, and who described those who call people to Islam as crazy or agents of the east and west, etc. Ibn al-Qayyim said: "From Satan his followers learned the method of calling unlawful things by names which people find attractive. So they called wine the mother of joy, and they called intoxicants morsels of delight, and they called riba (usury) business dealings, and they called taxes the rights of the authorities, and so on ... " This is a dangerous path for if falsehood is make to appear attractive to a person he will pursue it with all his strength, to achieve that which he thinks is right, even if it will lead to his doom. I think it's time that we take a good hard look at what we did did last year instead of clepratin v.day wallahi borz n sita-z this is an important essu ,, u knno we r olready in 1426h - 2005 , look @ the miror n fgure out how old u got? wat have u done 4 future(aakhirah), hmmm ur life time will be asken ni aakhirah? wat have u done?? :confused: May allah lead us all to the right path.Amiin P.s Try to fast on the 10th and 11th of Muharam, n jazkl khEEr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
