❝speak a good word or remain silent❞ -Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) remember > no soul knows in what land it will die. -Quran 31:34

[fatimakarim]

“The world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the unbeliever.”

-Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Reference: Sahih Muslim 2956

Hadith Explanation: A believer is ever mindful of Allah/God. Therefore, he/she is not free to do what they please. That is why this world feels like a prison to them. On the other hand, a person who is not mindful of God, does whatever they feel like, or whatever they think they can get away with. There are indeed many things that can be enjoyed in this world. A person who is not looking forward to meeting their Lord, would spend their every moment trying to maximize their enjoyment here, short-lived though it is. Thus, the non-believer can find this world to be a Paradise. But the believer knows that no happiness here is everlasting and that they are always in danger of falling into the hands of Satan. They, therefore, long to get out of the exam that this world is and into the safety of the grave.

An-Nawawi said, “The believer is imprisoned and prohibited in the world from forbidden desires and disapproved acts, being responsible to do laborious acts of obedience.”

Truly those who disbelieve spend their wealth to turn people away from the path of God. They will continue to spend it until it becomes a source of sorrow for them. Then they will be defeated.

―Quran 8:36

[fatimakarim]

Whatever you may be engaged in, whatever you may be reciting from the Qur’an, and whatever deeds you may be doing, We are witness over you when you are doing it. Nothing is hidden from your Lord even the weight of an atom on the earth or in the heaven. Neither anything smaller than that nor larger, but is written in a Clear Record.

—Qur’an 10:61

[fatimakarim]

Truly those who disbelieve spend their wealth to turn people away from the path of God. They will continue to spend it until it becomes a source of sorrow for them. Then they will be defeated.

—Quran 4:78

[fatimakarim]

Allah is the One who has created seven skies, and their like from earth. The Command descends among them, so that you may know that Allah is powerful over every thing, and that Allah has encompassed every thing in knowledge.

―Quran 65:12

[fatimakarim]

As for human being, whenever his Lord tests him, by honoring him, and blessing him, he says, “My Lord has honored me.” But when He tries him, and restricts his provision for him, he says, “My Lord has humiliated me.”

-Quran 89:15–16

[fatimakarim]

On the Day of Resurrection, God will judge between you regarding your differences. Are you not aware that God knows all that is in the heavens and earth? All this is written in a Record; this is easy for God.

-Quran 22:69 -70

[fatimakarim]

the blindness of the eyes

Have they not travelled throughout the land so their hearts may reason, and their ears may listen? Indeed, it is not the eyes that are blind, but it is the hearts in the chests that grow blind. -Quran 22:46

because the blindness of the eyes along with the heart is not harmful, Allah uses this metaphor in contrast to the opposite. For one who’s eyes are blind can reflect and benefit from the heart. Indeed, it is not the sight that becomes blind but the heart that becomes blind.

[fatimakarim]

Alif-Lãm-Mĩm. Allah! There is no god except Him—the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. Surely nothing on earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah. He is the One Who shapes you in the wombs of your mothers as He wills. There is no god except Him—the Almighty, All-Wise.

مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ جَارَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ

“He who believes in Allah and the Last Day should either utter good words or better keep silence; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day should treat his neighbour with kindness and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day should show hospitality to his guest.”

—Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

-Sahih Muslim 1 Hadith 80

[fatimakarim]

Luke 6:12 Jesus Christ prayed to God all night:

As Muslims, we believe that Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) is the Servant and Messenger of God. He was given the book called the Gospel (Injeel in Arabic), just as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was given the final revelation, the Qur’an. Jesus worshipped God himself, just as all the other prophets worshipped God. Jesus was praying and fasting to God his Creator. according to Luke 6:12 Jesus Christ prayed to his God all night:

"One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God."

A fundamental part of Islam is that we believe that God is one, he has no partners, no children, and we only worship him alone.

“He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is nothing comparable to Him.” —Quran 112:1–4

they preached the same message that Allah/God our Creator is one. Peace Be Upon Them all.

– Moses: “God is one Lord.” (Deuteronomy 6:4) –Jesus Christ: “our God is one Lord.” (Mark 12:29) –Muhammad: “your God is One God.” (Quran 2:163)
