Mohebban Fatemeh

In The Name of Allah

Some factors about the Quran being a miracle…

• it talks about the future
• it talks about the past
• you cannot find any disagreements within it
• everything you can think of is in it

———————————————————————————————

When the people who go to hell, go to hell, the “stones” that they kept for themselves will be burned with them.

“stones” is a metaphor.

———————————————————————————————

When the prophet say hell, he say that the majority of them were single

———————————————————————————————

The reason we don’t see heaven and hell is…

because of our actions!!!

———————————————————————————————

When you die the earth will talk to you.

———————————————————————————————

Some hellfire burns the skin, others PENETRATE THE HEART!!!

In The Name of Allah

In today’s world the Quran is taken very lightly. Right? (not literaly)

Some people only…

1. memorize
2. read with a good voice
3. don’t touch it until Ramadan – Then it’s “what Quran?”
4. pay attention to the meaning

We should be doing all of these!!! With the exception of #3.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO KEEP QURAN IN OUR LIVES???

—       —      —      —      —      —      —      —      —      —      —      —      —      —

THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT INCLUDE/PAY ATTENTION TO THE QURAN IN THEIR LIVES ARE…

• tyrants
• evil doers
• DISBELIVERS

——–♂-bullets from the sheik–not the summarizer——————————

The people at the prophet’stime said that the prophet wrote the Quran, but he didn’t. So on the behalf of Allah he challenged their word. He said that…

“If i a human wrote this book, then you write a book like this”  Could they?  No

Then the prophet said “A book is too much, write 10 suras”  Could they?  No

Then the prophet said “10 suras is too much, write 1 sura”  Could they?  No

Notice the pattern?

———————————————————————————————

Did you know that when Allah talks about the prophet he says “My servant”?

———————————————————————————————

Imam Ali says that he is proud that Allah is his lord, and that it is his honor! Did he say that he is proud that he has a car, a house, PhD, …?    NO!!!

———————————————————————————————

The prophet’s favorite name to be called is Abdolaah!

———————————————————————————————

How do you become a servant of Allah?  -1 word-  SUBMIT!!!

THE TRUE SERVANT OF ALLAH WANTS NOTHING BUT ALLAH!!!

This week we talked about friendship from the book of guidance, The Holy Quran.
Surah Forghan Verse 27 – 29

وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا – 27
يَا وَيْلَتَى لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًا – 28
لَّقَدْ أَضَلَّنِي عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَاءَنِي ۗ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِلْإِنسَانِ خَذُولًا – 29

We mentioned the story from the Holy Prophet(PBUH) and those two “Disbelievers” which one of them invited the Prophet to have a meal with them and how Sheytan played his role

Sometimes we know that we are not choosing the right person as a friend but – in just a moment – we get blind and forget all the signs that a true friend must have and thats the beginning of Darkness

Lets practice not to be one of those who on the day of judgment say:
” O woe is me! would that I had not taken such a one for a friend!” Surah Forghan Verse 28

take care

After the Holy Month of Ramadhan we started our Hadith class on the subject of Friendship.

> Why is it important to make friends? What are the signs of good friends? and …

The first Hadith that we mentioned by Amir-Al-Momenin Imam Ali(PBUH):
كل مودة مبنية علي غير ذات الله ضلال
> Any Friendship that is based other than Allah will be lost

We covered the meaning of مودة (Mavaddat) and its difference with محبت(Mohabbat)

This week we gave an example to our life’s as a journey.

When we go for a trip we always look for a friend to be with us so we can be together and create the best moments.
> What are the signs of a friend that can help us through this journey?

For this week we brought up a revayat from Imam Sadegh(PBUH), where He advises one of his companions for choosing a friend:
If you make your brother(partner) angry for 3 times and he doesn’t reply to you with bad words, choose him as your friend.

- May Allah help us to find the best friends -

take care
