Teaching of the quran in the grave

Allah's messenger (pbuh) said (according to Bukhari) that anyone who is trying to memorize the Quran and dies trying to, in the grave the angels will teach him so that on the day of judgement he will rise a Hafiz.

Amazing!

As many of you already know the approximate number of prophets sent by god is 240, 000. This number according to scholars is so high because Allah said in the quran that he sent a messenger for each nation. He did not leave any nation astray, and if you think about it how many nations do you think there were throughout history. Anyways, We have a brother who comes to our mosque on sundays after fajr to teach us recreational activities. He and a few other groups of people went to al aqsa and counted the space in the courtyard and around the rock and guess what... there is exactly 240, 000 spaces for prayer. no more, no less... !!!!!... I mean, doesn't raise the hairs on your neck. It's amazing. another miracle of Allah (swt).

The Book of the Week

The Challenge of The Quran A passage from God Arises by: Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, Re-written on this post by:lionofallah

The words that I write down here are not my words but the words of Maulana Wahiduddin, who wrote the GOD ARISES. I am typing exactly what is in his book. word for word. I have divided it into parts and each part will be displayed within one week. The next week there will be a new book of the week.


The Challenge of the Qur'an

Part 1
"All of the prophets were given such miracles as inspired people to believe. And that I have been given is the Qur'an."

These words of the Prophet recorded by Bukhari in the first century of Islam, give proper direction to our quest. They make it clear that the Qur'an, which he presented to the people as having been revealed to him, word by word, by God is itself a compelling proof of his being a true prophet.

What are those features of the Qur'an which prove it to be the word of God? There are many, but I shall refer briefly to only a few.

The one which is bound to make the immediate impact upon a student of the Qur'an is the challenge it made fourteen hundred years ago to produce a book, or even a chapter, which is its equal.

"And if you are in doubt of what we have revealed to Our servant, produce one chapter comparable to it. Call upon helpers besides God to assist you, if what you say be true."
(Qur'an 2: 23)

Needless to say, this challenge has not to this day been met. Those who feel that the authorship of the Qur'an was human and not divine should consider also that no ordinary mortal would deliver himself of such a challenge for fear of being instantly proved a posturer or braggart. Neither the Qur'an, nor the challenge it flings down to humanity, can be of human origin, for no human work is ever complete; it can always be added to, improved upon and emulated. Purely human standards are always re-attainable.

Fake Furqan

Somewhere in Malaysia a christian company has published books in Hindi, Arabic, and English titled The True Furqan. Me and you now know that it is the complete opposite. It has variations of iyats of the Surat furqan from the quran and they have twisted it around including god saying hat he has a son and he is messiah. They are now spreading these through the Muslim countries. The Muslims in Malaysia have stood up and have asked the whole Islamic world to stop the spread of these books to the Muslims who are seeking knowledge help the cause by warning anyone you see with these books.

I'm back

I have been inactive for years since I had a lot of school work to do but I am back and ready to make new posts, inshallah.
