Allah Is the Best Creator

In the name of Allah, The Compassionate

The source of All Mercy

ONLY ONE WAY TO SALVATION

Creatures of Allah! There is only one way to avert an approaching

disaster:

* Have faith I Allah and His blessed prophet and cleanse your hearts

of any allegiances that are false.

*Continue doing good to your fellow creatures until the Day you are

called home.

*Invite others to the Path of righteousness with sincerity.

*And endure with perseverance every test and hardship that comes

your way.

These are not our words, but the words of your Lord:

By the declining day, surely man is in a state of loss,

save those who believes and do good deeds, and exhort

one another to the truth and exhort one another to the

endurance

(Al-Quran:103:1-5)

Remember! Even slight defect in your faith is a cause for damnation . It is only

the sins, mistakes and shortcomings of ours that Allah will forgive through His

Mercy. Our Lord only warns us against placing another object ,idol, or ideology

before Him that is ,He does not allow any kind of association (Shirk).He says

this plainly:

Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him :but He forgivth

anything else to who He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a

sin most heinous indeed.

(Al-Quran:4:48)

In the saying of the blessed Prophet we read:

Whosoever fills the entire earth with sins, but then dies without associating

any partner to me .I will meet him with the forgiveness equal to that.

(Muslim)

So many nations throughout history have been wiped out because of

Association (Shirk) And Lo! Even today our Muslim community has reached.

the verge of annihilation because of our indulgence in it:

Say (O Mohammad , to the disbelievers) : Travel in the land and see the

nature of the consequences for those who lived before you ! Most of them

were polytheists ( Mushrik)

(Al-Quran:30:42)

In other words, tell them to explore the four corners of the earth and

look upon the ruins of the past. If older civilizations, which were

rooted in idolatry(Shirk) can succumb to disaster and disappear, then

can’t we too?

Our Lord testifies that for this Muslim community even as for others

there is only One way to Salvation :Its true sons and daughters

must arise and realize that this world is simply a way station on your

journey to eternity and that each one of us is born to die. For such

reasons it is imperative to live our life as successfully and count.

One must, therefore:

* Protect himself from every kind of Association(Shirk).

* Be firm in affirming the Unity of the creator(Tauhid).

* Pattern his lifestyles after the most successful man in the History,

the blessed Prophet Mohammed (May the peace and blessing of

Allah be upon him).

This is the only way one can transform the approaching disaster

into certain success. If it is not done here and now then an awful

fate is inevitable.

Those who believed and did not pollute their belief with Shirk,

for them is peace and safety and they are truly the guided ones

(they are going to reach the goal)

(Al-Quran:6:82)

(ZULM in this verse has been interpreted as Shirk by the holy

Prophet himself)

(Bukahri and Muslim)

Let us be perfectly clear about the meaning of Kalima

(the testimony of faith ) and let there be no doubt about its

implications. Then we must learn to hold ton innovation

(the bida) Only Tauhid and the way of the blessed prophet can

build our steps into the hereafter .Our Lord has promised to

defend us if we but try with sincerity.

The meaning of the first part of the testimony of faith,

La ilaha illa Allay is that is neither Father nor Son. Male

nor Female, two nor three. He alone may be deemed worthy of

of being called:

* The Creator and the Master.

* The knower of the hidden and the clear.

* The Omnipresent, the Watcher and Sovereign.

* He is the Only in whose power are all good and ill.

* He renders help, fulfills needs, lifts sorrow and attends to those who

call upon Him.

* He alone is to be remembered and called upon often.

* All trust and hope must be placed in Him and all prayers are directed

to Him alone with no effort and making intermediaries. One should humble

himself physically and spiritually before him alone .Charity and goodwill

must be done in His Name.

* Legislation for the basics of human government and organization

begins with his precepts.

* All are his creature and no one has any influence or power over Him

Whether living or dead. Neither graves, tombs , people, charms, symbols

nor animals have any validity in his worship. All are helpless before Him.

Priests, Monks, Rabbis, Sheiks, Imams, Swamis and Piers are mere

suppliants with no power over him.

The acceptance of the second half of the testimony of faith,

Muhammad -ur-rasool Allah implies that:

* The blessed prophet is only a man, a servant of Allah and a messenger.

* the tradition of the blessed prophet shall remain the last word in

question regarding the conduct of human affairs until the end of history .

No words or deed will be acceptable from anyone if it is in

contradiction with the prophet’s teachings. Rash and undue

innovation will not be given currency.

* Only the interpretations of this Prophet’s life as done by those who

knew him best i.e. his companions will be considered authentic.

Every sincere believer however much be or she may stumble will

eventually enter the Paradise by the Grace of Allah .Anyone

having a different practice of Faith which deviates from the pristine

teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah will not get even a whiff of

Paradise, a thousands prayers and years of fasting not with standing!

Our Lord! grant to everyone the ability and aptitude to accept this

ideology and to act accordingly.
