Esteemed Civilization – 7

Through The Proper Doors.

 

“They ask thee concerning the New Moons. Say: They are but signs to mark fixed periods of time in (the affairs of) men, and for Pilgrimage.

It is no virtue if ye enter your houses from the back; It is virtue if ye fear Allah swt. Enter houses through the proper doors; and fear Allah swt.; that ye may prosper”. (Al Baqarah: 189).

 

Do not enter houses other than your own, until you have asked permission and saluted those in them;

You should not enter until permission is given, in case you are asked to go back, you have to go back, that makes for greater purity.

 

Privacy is quite respectful in Islam, respected by dignity and politeness,

Follow the guidance to guard our eyes and thoughts, modesty in dress and manners,

‘Entering through the proper door’ should teach us chastity and purity, the such virtues will lead us to the esteemed civilitation.

While it is most serious in the sight of Allah swt.

Being Fixed As By Writing,

 

“Nor can soul die except by Allah’s leave, the term being fixed as by writing,

If any do desire a reward in this life, We shall give it to him; and if any do desire a reward in the Hereafter, We shall give it to him. And swiftly shall We reward those that (serve with) gratitude”

(Ali Imran – 145).

 

Whatever good happens to us, is from Allah swt., Whatever evil happens to us, is from our own soul,

Allah has sent us as an Apostle to instruct mankind. Who obeys him, obeys Allah,

If any turn away, Allah has not sent us to watch over the evil deeds.

 

There will be a Day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and all the evil it has done,

It will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil,

But Alah swt. cautions people to remember, for He is full of kindness to those that serve Him.

 

Allah knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth, and He has power over all things, whether we hide what is in our hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all.      Bandung, 13 Muharram 1428 H.

Rejected After Being Accepted.

 

Allah swt. will not guide those who reject faith after they accepted it, And bore witness that the Apostle was true and that Clear -Signs had come unto them,

In the Hereafter they will be in the ranks of those who have lost their all spiritual good.

 

For those who keep their plighted faith, they are in a serious doubt,

Do they seek for other guidance than the Religion of Allah, while all creatures in the heavens and on earth have willing or unwilling bowed to His Will,they all shall be brought back to Him.

 

“As for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah, and their own plighted word for a small price,

They shall have no portion in the Hereafter; Nor will Allah  speak to them on the Day of Judgement,

Nor will He cleanse them (of sin); they shall have a grievous Penalty” (Ali Imran: 77)

 

For those that repent after that,and make amends, Allah will forgive them, for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful,

But when they go on adding to their defiance of Faith, never will their repentance be accepted, they are those who have gone astray too far.                                           Bandung, 14 Muharram 1428 H.
