The Power of Testimony.
Remember we’ll come across this preliminary
question as told by Nabi Muhammad saw:
When the
servant is placed in his grave and his companions retrace their steps and he
hears the noise of their footsteps, then two angels come to him and make him
sit and say to him: What you have to say about this person (the Holy Prophet)?
If he is a believer, he would say: I bear
testimony to the fact that he is a servant of Allah and His Messenger. Then it
would be said to him: Look to your seat in the Hell- Fire, for Allah has
substituted (the seat of yours) with a seat in Paradise. Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: He would be shown both seats.
“Establish regular
prayer at the sun’s decline till the darkness of the night,
And the morning prayer
and reading: for the prayer and reading in carry their testimony”. (Al Israa:
78).
“In that is a Sign for
those who fear the Penalty of the Hereafter: that is
a Day for which mankind
will be gathered together: that will be a Day of Testimony”. (Hud: 103).
And do not forget the
Message of Nabi Muhammad saw:
Should I not inform you
about the most grievous of the grave sins? (The Holy Prophet) repeated it three
times, and then said:
Associating anyone with
Allah, disobedience to parents, false testimony or false utterance. The Holy
Prophet was reclining, then he sat up, and he repeated it so many times that we
wished that he should become silent.

Not Join Anything.
“So set thou thy face
steadily and truly to the Faith,
(Establish) Allah’s
handiwork according to the pattern
on which He has made
mankind; No change (let there be)
in the work (wrought)
by Allah; That is the standard religion,
but most among mankind
understand not.
Turn ye back in
repentance to Him and fear Him;
Establish regular
prayers, and be not you among those
who join gods with
Allah.
Those who split up
their Religion, and become (mere) Sects,
Each party rejoicing in
that which is with itself!”
(Ar Rum: 31 – 32).
Join not any partners
with Him, There is no god other than Allah,
and the Prophet
Muhammad is His Messenger,
And do good to parents,
kinfolks, parents, take good care of orphans,
those who need,
neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your
side, the way farer ye meet,
Allah loves not the
arrogant, the vainglorious,
Should not take for
protector any other than Allah,
the creator of the
heavens and the earth.
Just bow to Allah
merely in Islam, to worship to Allah,
for nothing is equal
with Him.
Expound openly what we
are commanded, and turn away
from those who join
false gods to Allah,
More over after He
removes the distress, behold do not turn back
to the false magic
spells and any ritual offerings.
Pray to Him: “Ya Allah,
bestow wisdom on me, and join me with
Righteous; protect me
and let nothing keep me aside from Your Light
of Signs, after it has
been quite clear to us”. Amien.

Cover not Truth with
Falsehood.
There is no a real
victory over the falsehood,
For Allah belongs both
East and West,
He guides whom He will to
a Way that is straight,
The real Truth is from
Allah, so be not at all in doubt.
Seek Allah’s help with
patient perseverance and prayer,
It is indeed hard,
except to those who bring a lowly spirit,
Who bear in mind the
certainty that they are to meet their Lord,
and that they are to
return to Him.
Those who believe in
Allah, the Al Qur’anul Karim and
the Last Day and work
righteous, shall have their reward
with their Lord,
On them shall be no
fear, nor shall they grieve.
“And cover not Truth
with falsehood, nor conceal the Truth when
ye know (what it is).
And be steadfast in
prayer; practice regular charity; and bow down
your heads with those
who bow down (in worship).
Do ye enjoin right
conduct on the people, and forget (to practice it)
yourselves.
And yet ye study the
Scripture? Will ye not understand?”
(Al Baqarah: 42 – 44).
To those who believe
not in the Hereafter and they assert the falsehood
that all good things
are for themselves,
If Allah were to punish
them, He would not leave on the earth
a single living
creature;
But Allah gives them
respite for a stated term,
When the term expires,
they would not be able to delay the punishment
for a single hour, just
as they would not be able to anticipate it before.
