What about People Who Have Never Heard about Islam?

Do you ever wonder what about the people who have never heard about Islam?

Allah said in the Quran that when we are born, we have an original disposition (“Fitrah” or “Fitra”) to believe in Him. Thus this is a very important notion to know and understand.

Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said:

No child is born but upon Fitrah. He then said. Recite: The nature made by Allah in which He created man, there is no altering of Allah’s nature; that is the right religion.” [Sahih Muslim 2658d]

 “Each child is born in a state of Fitrah, but his parents make him a Jew or a Christian.[…]” [Sahih Muslim 2658e]

Indeed, all children are affected by the beliefs of their environment. Moreover it can be a direct pressure or an indirect influence.

The lesson from Omar Suleiman is about a righteous man (Zayd ibn Amr ibn Nufayl) who died before reaching Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

First, Zayn always felt that the Meccans were doing something against pure Monotheism. Hence he didn’t hesitate to talk against it.

Another example of his natural empathy is that he used to rescue daughters who were buried alive, before Islam forbids it.

Furthermore he travelled in search of the Truth.

While he was away, he learnt about Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Unfortunately he died on his way back to Mecca.

Secondly, the son of Zayn asked the Prophet what would happen to his dad since he died before saying his Shahada.

For this reason Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) explained that he saw the Day of Judgment.

While all the nations will stand behind their prophets, Zayd will be a Nation of One.

That is to say he will be his own Ummah !

What a valued place mashaAllah!

In conclusion, this natural behavior to worship one god is what is really inside of us. Nevertheless, sometimes we just choose not to follow it.

May Allah guide us, ameen.

Is it better to not to invite someone to Islam?

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
