The Party!

[Nur]

Congratulations!

 

 

You've just accepted an invitation from Allah SWT, your creator, to come to his house, for a party and the surprise of your life, ever!.

 

Now that you know who is the host of this party, Allah SWT, I feel honored so many Nomads have taken me for serious when indeed the way I presented this thread was rather a contemporary setting of a worldly party, many of you who, in the course of your lives are invited to parties, may be leery accepting any RSVP, but because it was from one of your veteran Nomads here on SOL, you have accepted, some of you with a big heart, some so excited that they could not wait the posting of the thread, and others, who playfully represent the Devil, literally turned down the invitation because, her Mother would not allow her to attend the party, ironically, Allah SWT says in the Quraan about those who turn down this offer that their mother is indeed Haawiyah, Hell fire ( May Allah protect us all from Hell and the advocacy of Satan ).

 

Another category of Nomads turned down on the pretext of assumption that its a boys night party, while many other dear Nomads who I wished to respond did not, knowing how great this party is going to be, I hope they don't miss the real party that I am going to post.

 

The Invitation:

 

Allah SWT says " Wallaahu yadcuu ilaa Dar es Salaam, wa yahdii man yashaa ilaa siraatin mustaqeem "

 

" And Allah is inviting (you) to Dar Es Salaaam, and ( Allah SWT) guides who He wishes, to a path that is straight( toward the Dar Es Salaam)."

 

" Dar " in the Arabic language means a House, Palace, Mansion, Villa etc.

 

Salaam , meaning Eternal Peace, one of the ninety nine (Asmaa ul Husnaa) names of Allah SWT, the source of peace as we usually hymn His praise after our daily prayers: " Allahumma Anta As Salaam, wa minka As Salaam " , meaning : " O Allah, You are the (essence) of Peace, and you are the source of all of Peace ", so by responding to the RSVP of Allah SWT, inshaAllah, in the day of judgement when you finally approach paradise, it will be said to you " Udkhuluuhaa bi Salaamin aaminiin " " Enter (Paradise ) peacefully "

 

I have read this verse in Suurah Younis many a time, but like a short wave Radio, I have never tuned my focus so sharply on this verse like I did past couple of weeks. When I read " Allah SWT is inviting (me) to Home of Peace, His House , I was really touched in a very special way, when I drove away from the Masjid, the only thing in my head was the RSVP, poor insignificant me!, I am invited to Allah's mansion, for an eternal party, with plenty of food, drinks and permanent youth and beautiful women, ( gorgeous men for the sisters, like new me , no kidding ), I was in my vehicle, tears started flowing on my cheeks, so much so that I had to pull over to finish crying, what a soothing effect did I get afterwards, Wallahi, I felt reborn again, once more with a solid mission to do good on earth, to dedicate my life to serve Allah SWT by doing what he values most in people, helping others to help themselves, feeding of the poor, educating the ignorant, advocating for, and consoling the oppressed, The Quraan, holds many treasures sprinkled on the pages we read that we may not be looking deeper, this verse, has fundamentally rearranged my priorities in life, and hence the preparations for meeting my maker, literally, accepting on His offer by meeting the requirements set in Quraan and Sunnah.

 

Requirements that form the bulk of the "Pursuit of Happiness" ceneter piece of American Constitution, so Nomad readers who reside in The USA can finally say with pride that following Islam as a way of life is protected by the American Constitution, since its goal is the pursuit of happiness, and you never thought Pursuit of happiness was an Islamic thing? ...many people chase elusive happiness in their lifetime, but only few will attain the real thing, and I assure you, it is not going to be in their lifetime.

 

It was reported by Abu Hureirah May Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah said " Those who enter paradise will enjoy and never will they be miserable, they will live forever and never will they die, their garments will never wear out and theirs will be an everlasting youth "

 

Nomad brothers and sisters, isn't an honorable gesture from Allah SWT, to invite you to his house, the Jannah, Paradise? , and because you have responded to his RSVP, you are short listed and specially chosen to receive the road map that will guide you to get to the Party in Jannah. So Congratulations, Brothers and sisters in faith. Allah gives you the good news and says to you:

 

" Lilladiina istajaabuu li Rabbihumul Xusnaa " As for those who have responded (positively) to their Lords ( RSVP), their ( Reward) is the Husnaa (the Party in Paradise )"

 

Engineers measure performance to test response times of systems they design, how fast does a system respond to an stimulus, the above verse, specifically deals with the testing of the response time of humans to their Maker's RSVP, because it is within the frame of our life time that we have to respond to the heavenly stimulus. The second measure engineers measure is the quality of that response, and I can not put it in a better way than the following verse:

 

" Lilladiina axsanul Xusnaa, wa ziyaadah " As for those who've performed well (under difficult conditions, as a response to please) their Lord , their (reward) is Husnaa ( Paradise) and some extra ( surprise)"

 

It is not only about what we know, it is not only about what we do, but it is also about the results we achieve with the last two, that really counts at the end of this life's journey.

 

Can you guess the surprise in store for you? when Allah SWT invites you to his house and amazingly you beat the odds and show up, you definitely deserve a great hospitality treat, for all that "gimme -a -break!" you used to yell while on earth, here is a big break! of food , drinks, and the greatest of all joys, yours will be a splendid face and sparkling eyes glued on the sight of their Magnificent Lord: " Wujuuhun yawma idin naadwirah, ilaa Rabbihaa naadhirah " What a joy!

 

And you thought that no one cares about you? how wrong were you all along, well, if you could only imagine how much Allah SWT has honored you, and is willing to guide you! whenever you take a step His way, he takes two steps toward you, when you walk toward Him, he runs to you, and if you are bearing the weight of a Gorilla the size of Planet earth in sins and mischief on your back, and you come to Allah SWT resolute to start it all over again, Allah approaches you with the weight of Planet earth in forgiveness, try Him! now that is some good news innit?

 

When Allah SWT ordered Abraham to invite mankind to visit his house in Makkah as pilgrimage, It was Allah's way of sending you an RSVP to His house , Paradise, to see who will respond and say " Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik " here I am O Allah, Here I am " as a response to his invitation. When the Muezzin calls for prayer, saying " Hayyah Alal Falaah " "come respond to success" you are responding to Allah's eternal invitation and RSVP to paradise and Allah will say to you: " Fad khulii fii cibaadii wad khulii Jannatii " " Come join the ranks of those who worship Me, come enter My Paradise "

 

In the course of our daily routine, the opportunity to respond to Allah SWT presents itself in a concealed way, the trick is to always be on the lookout and be aware that you are under a test to see if you can collect as many points to qualify for the party. " Wa an leysa lil insaani maa sacaa, wa anna sacyahu sowfa yuraa " Meaning, " man does not have in store in the herafter save the efforts he had earned "

 

Whenever you notice the need of an orphaned relative or a hungry destitute, to respond to their need is to approach and overcome obstacles and hurdles that are on your way to the party in Jannah, are you in good shape for that feat? keeping your cool whenever someone gets on your nerves with a sordid comment, is another way to collect valuable points to attend the party, persuading your enemy to be on your side by behaving with a divine character of tolerance and forgiveness. Because time is valuable and life is short, you have to focus on doing what benefits you most, and according to the Hadith, Allah SWT loves those who care for and benefit other creatures, so what are you waiting for, you can benefit humans by helping save them from Hellfire through wise discussions, you can also help them by feeding them or you can help them by seizing your evil intentions toward them, as for other creatures like animals, be humane, because it can save you from Hell fire, a biblical story confirmed by the Sunnah says that a prostitute was saved from hell by giving water to a thirsty dog.

 

This party however, is exclusively for those who categorically refused to respond to Satan's party on earth in which Satan promised happiness, prosperity and longevity for his allies and friends. You can not have it both ways, you need to make your mind early. This party is not for those who had previously responded to Satan's RSVP and to whom he will disown in the day of judgment, saying to to them : " Allah SWT promised you and delivered against it, while I also promised you but failed to deliver on my promise, I had no power over you except for your willful confirmation to follow me when I invited you ( to disobey Allah SWT) , so blame me not, but blame yourselves, don't come running onto me for help, because I am not coming running onto you for help" Quraan.

 

Satan's party is short-lived, even if takes a lifetime, the result is always a painful stand in front of your maker to answer for your deeds, Satan packages the glitter of this present life as his party, but life on earth with all its attractions is like a short lived mirage in which we feel that we are in control when in essence, we are not, it is mankind's inherent nature to be aggressive when he feels self sufficient, Allah SWT says in the same Surah Younis: " The likeness of the (appeal) of life on earth is like a rainfall we've poured down from the sky, to grow plants on the ground, in order to feed livestock and hence people ( as the food chain), up until ( the intensity of rainfall makes) earth show its treasures and beauties at which point its caretakers firmly come to believe that they are in full control, (suddenly) our decree is passed( for its destruction) thus we turn (mankind's possession and efforts) to pieces as if it has not been there yesterday, thus we clarify for folks who soberly reflect "

InshaAllah! You've got my attention bro, can't wait to read the rest.

[Baashi]

May Allah grant us the strength to recover from this qasaawatul qalbi that we've been suffering so we can make to this grand party as well as the strength to fight off the worldly gratification. Samacnaa wa adhacnaa.

 

Nur waxaa tahay nin duceysan oo nasiib badan Walaal Ilaaheey ha kuu siyaadiyo innagana hana garansiiyo towfiiqda. Bal inoo ducee sheekh in qasaawatul qalbi Allah naga daweeyo.

[Maymuunah]

jazakallahy khiaran walaal. can't wait for your next attractions

[Salma]

So impressive words bro Nur, barak allah feek

[SaMaaH]

At last, I've been waiting for this party

 

Shukran, It was an interesting read, can not wait to read the next part.

[Miriam1]

Ouh that was an amazing read, i honestly enjoy reading you articles, quite beneficial in a very boring work enviroment..gaining some important knowledge, while pushing that file around.

I hope you could answer my question,If you dont mind.

I would like to read books that give me insight into the life of the Nabi (P.B.U.H) and just how one could go about strenghthing thier Iman, written by notable individuals. I know this may a vague discription of what I seek...but i just seem to be lost in a Islamic book store..there are just soooooo many books

Thanks

Awaiting the next edition!

[Warrior of Light]

Mashallah. Another beautiful read, looking forward to read more.

 

Jazakallah Kheir

the Party will not be complete without our Somali Shia readers, I want them in the party, so I am dedicating my time in the next few days to help them find the way, losing one soul is a painful thing, I am calling them to Dar Es Salaam, I wish they respond!

Do you not think that is more appropriate that a "dacee" should have the required attributes of someone who calls people to Islam. Is not that the message you attempted to convey to Salafi_Online. You must needs limit the ridicule, the sarcasm, the irony, the patronising. Should you wish to continue in this vein, you will only ignite further the enmity and animosity of your readership.

 

"Yaa ayyahu alladiina aamanuu lima taquuluuna maa laa tafcaluun. Kabura maqtan cinda allahi an taquuluu maalaa tafcaluun"

Mutakallim bro.

 

I honestly pray that you are all saved, and myslelf, at first, I have done my best to speak as objectively as possible, when five people take after me in a personal attack to poison the well from which I am trying to quench them from, the result are what you see, i agree it is not good, but it patience has its limits. Of all those who came to defend Shia, you are the only sane and honest voice so far, others wouldnt even come forward to admit they are Shia until you posted your rebuttal.

 

By the way, throughout my writeups, It is my style to use subliminal messages to amplify and criticise issues, for the sole purpose of soliciting deeper and more informed answers.

 

In recognition of your advice, from now on, I will not post anything that may be sarcastically offensive, and that is a promise.

Nur,

Of all those who came to defend Shia, you are the only sane and honest voice so far, others wouldnt even come forward to admit they are Shia until you posted your rebuttal.

Then I must be one of the less sane and dishonest people because I didn't admit to being Sh'ia.

 

You said on another thread (Where did Da'wah(the call to) Salafiyah Originate? (Page 2))that...

 

I still believe that Salafi or Sunni, or any name that is not simply "Muslim" is an innovation, because neither the Messenger of Allah nor the Khulafaa have sanctioned these names, thus they are bidcah. Howver one can say, "I a Muslim, and I strive to follow the example of Prophet Muhammad SAWS and the GOOD SALAF"

Why is it you want me to call myself SUNNI ir SHI'A? Can't you see here that you are NOT practising what you preach?

 

Bro Nur, I have seen how you act when you are cornered; you fight fight dirty by discrediting your 'opponents', patronising and belittling them. You have chosen to ignore everything I asked or directed at you because I refused to answer whther I was Shi'a nor Sunni. But that doesn't discourage me bro.

[OG_Girl]

others wouldnt even come forward to admit they are Shia until you posted your rebuttal.

Did you ask me and I denied?.To be honest I was so innocent believing we are ( sunnah and shia) are brothers in Islam.But seems you call religion!!. Is not a religion, we are Moslims, is just Madhab, defferent fiqh or school than yours .

Answer:

 

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is probably a duck!

 

The hide and seek game is over, In the coming days, inshAllah I will post more Shia scholars views to show that your beliefs are serious issue, not like Salafi, Ikhwani difference. Because these schools accept the Quraan as complete, and they beleive the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, they believe and love the Al al beit, they recognize Ali is the fourth Khalif, they never say anything wrong against Al al Beit, nor condone any ruler who did, but they do not believe they humans and infallible, nor do they believe the Rajcajh, the Earthily Qiyaamaha when Sunnis and Shia will be resurrected, before the Qiyamah in which Shia is supposed to take revenge on Sunnis, I am sorry if I failed to practice what I preach, it is an exception this time, but I congratulate you for being a true shia in action as you practice hiding your motives very well to dfened yourself against Naasib Sunni.

Salaamz,

 

I don't think that the majority of Shia's (jafari/12 imam school of thought) express these extreme points of view. However, just like the Sunnis have the Salafissssssssss, there tooo exist

Extremist Anti-Sunni Shias and I think that you give that group of people TOOO MUCH CREDIT

and label a whole Corn Field ROTTEN b/c you don't like the colour of the corn at the side of the lot.

 

Caala Kulee xaal, you ain't saying nothing new. Its the 21st century, 15th century Hijra and you are just rehashing these Differences to Splitttt Hairs from the same HEAD.

 

You don't have to agree with them, but if someone believes in the basic tenents of Islam (Allah is ONE, Muhamed (sallahu caliyhe wasilm) is his final rasul, the Quran is the last revelation (not denying the authority of the quran), 5 pillars of Islam, 6 pillars of Faith; then pronouncing TAKFIIR on them is no LIGHT MATTER cause they are MUSLIM.

 

 

So if someone says the Shahada,prays their daily salat, fasts/sawm in ramada, pays their zakat, intends/goes to Hajj, then they are a MUSLIM.

 

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is probably a duck!

Fi Amanillah
