Surah Al-Hadeed 57: - (The Iron)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most-Merciful

“And what is wrong with you that you do not believe in Allah, while the Messenger invites you to believe in your Lord, and He has taken your covenant, if you are believers?” (57:8)

COMMENTARY: (…”if you are believers” - 57:8). A question may arise here: In the earlier part of this very verse [8], the infidels and idolaters were reprimanded in the following words, "And what is wrong with you that you do not believe in Allah" This goes to show that the addressees of this phrase are 'non-believers', then how is it appropriate to say 'if you are believers'?

The answer to this question is that the unbelievers did not deny the existence of the Creator. In point of fact, they claimed to believe in God, and thus they used to say: (“We only worship them [the idols] that they may bring us nearer to Allah in position”… 39:3). In this context, the concluding phrase of verse [8] implies that 'If your claim [that you believe in God] is true, then go about the perfect and right way in "believing in God" which is not only to believe in God but also to believe in His Messenger.

POEM
MOULANA’S WEDDING DILEMMA

The friendly chit-chat abruptly halted
Traditions and values altered
Music welcomed her as she entered
And I cursed why I attended

I don’t know the difference between Bieber and Zain
But it’s music, simple and plain
Now I had to decide
To walk out and be accused of pride

Or remain seated as if there’s no harm
Yet on the Mimbar I say music is Haraam
If I leave the function, the host feels abused
If I remain, I am accused

Hypocrisy and double standards they’ll shout
Thus my sermons will have no more clout
I hope you understand my dilemma
And stop thinking that I need an enema

Yes we grace the occasion with recitations from the Qur’aan
But not in a manner that pleases Shaytaan
Just as haram wealth may not be given in charity
Qur’aanic recitation alongside music is also a blasphemy!

THE SMILE

POWER OUTAGE

We had a power outage last week and my PC and TV games console shut down immediately. It was raining -- therefore I couldn't play golf, so I talked to my husband for a few hours.

He seems like a nice person.
