Dear Muslim Ummah

Chapter 2: The Trials in General: Rotation of Good and Evil and Islam will return strange and new...

10.13.2012

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

Insha'Allah. Now we come to the next chapter of the book which talks about the trials of the end times. Remember, It's not only about reading it, it's about taking heed of it...because no doubt we are seeing this happening around us...

1. The Prophet (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) Informed Us About The Rotation Of Good And Evil

Abu Idrees Al-Khoolaanee related that he heard Hudhaifah ibn Al- Yamaan say, "The people would ask the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) about good and I used to ask him about evil, fearing that it would reach me." So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, indeed we used to be in ignorance and evil, and then Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) gave us this good. And after this good will there be evil?' He A said, 'Yes.' 'And after that evil will there be good?' I asked. 'Yes, but that (good) will have shortcomings and defects' I asked, 'And what are its shortcomings and defects?' He A said, 'A people who will be guided by other than my way; some of their deeds you will find laudable and others you will repudiate.' I asked, 'And after that good will there be evil?' He (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said, 'Yes, callers upon the doors of the Hell fire; whoever
answers them their call, will be thrown by them in it.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, describe them for us.' He (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam) said, 'They are from our people and they speak our tongue.' I asked, 'And what do you order me to do if that reaches me?' He A said, 'Adhere to the Jamaa'ah of the Muslims and to their Imam.' I said, 'And if they have neither Imam nor Jamaa'ah?' He A said, 'Withdraw yourself from all of those groups, even if that means for you to bite on to the root of a tree until death overcomes you while you are upon that state. — (Bukhaaree)

2. Islam Will Return Strange And New As It Had Begun

'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ood reported that the Messenger of Allah (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam)said, "Indeed Islam began new and strange and it shall return as it began - new and strange. So glad tidings to the strangers." (Muslim) It was asked, "And who are the strangers?" He (salalahu 'alayhi wa salam),aid, "Those who
are far away from the tribes." (Ibn Maajah)

A little bit about the Author

Assalamu Alaykum waRahmatullahi waBarakatuh! ^_^

I hope this paragraph doesn't bore you, why don’t you read it anyway? So, anyho, this blog doesn't testify how “good” I’am or how "impious" I'am. So, please don’t. I’m a servant of Allah who does a lot of mistakes, I have things that I need to improve within me, maybe a lot. I got many thoughts I would like to share. Allah knows ! My writing is not so perfect but I'll try my best. I aim to share my opinions about the Muslim Ummah, and anything to do with Islam the beautiful deen:

It was narrated that the Prophet , ordered anyone who sees an evil thing to change it with his hand. If he cannot, he should change it with his tongue. If he cannot, he should change it with his heart, and this is the weakest degree of faith. [Muslim]

I’m no scholar, I’m just a student learning every day. As we see around us there are so many trials and turmoils flooding the Ummah. I believe that I should share my thoughts and revive hadiths been told by the prophet Muhammad (salalahu alayhi wa salam). I’ll try my best to post anything authentic from Quran and Sunnah. If I do any mistake, Please correct me! I’d be pleased.

May Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) grant make us one Ummah again, May he ease the trials of the suffering Muslims around the world. May Allah guide us to the straight path, following the Quran and Sunnah, ameen.
