A New Light and Perspicuous Book.

 

“O Apostle!, let not those grieve thee, who race each other into Unbelief; (Whether it be) among those who say”We believe” with their lips but whose hearts have not faith; Or it among Jews, men who will listen to any lie, will listen even to others who have never so much as come to thee.

They change the words from their  (right) times and places, they say: “If ye are given this take it, but if not, Beware!”  If any one’s trial is intended by Allah, thou hast no authority in the least for him against Allah. For such, it is not Allah’s will to purify their hearts. For them there is disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment”.

(Al Maidah: 44).

 

The Guidance of Allah, that is the only Guidance, neither Protector nor Helper against Allah swt.,

There hath come from Allah a new light and a perspicuous Book ,

Al Quranul Karim, wherewith Allah guideth all who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace and safety.

                                                              Bandung, 27 Muharram 1428 H.

The Trumpet Will Be Sounded Twice.

 

The Trumpet will be sounded twice, and the Earth will shine with the glory of its Lord,

And to every soul will be paid in full of its deed, and Allah knoweth best all that they do,

And the Unbelievers will be led to Hell in crowd, until when they arrive there, its gates will be opened.

 

“And those who feared their Lord will be led to the Gardens in crowds; Until behold, they arrive there, its gates  will be opened;

And the Keepers will say: “Peace be upon you! Well have ye done! Enter ye here, to dwell therein.

 

They will say: “Praise be to Allah, Who has truly fulfilled His promise to us, and has given us (this) land in heritage; We can dwell in the garden as we will, how excellent a reward for those who work (righteousness)!”        (Az Zumar: 73 – 74).

 

Thou wilt see Malaikat surrounding the Throne Divine on all sides, singing Glory and Praise to their Lord, The Decision between them will be in perfect justice,

And the cry on all sides will be, “Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe”                     Bandung, 29 Muharram 1428 H.

Like It Used To Be.

 

The Unbelievers will never be satisfied until the Believers follow their mislead mindset,

Wert thou to follow their desires after the Knowledge which hath reached thee,

Then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor Helper against God.

 

“And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain Commands which he fulfilled,

He said: “I will make thee an Imam to the Nations”.

He (Abraham) pleaded: “And also (Imams) from my offspring!”

He answered: “But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers”. (Al Baqarah: 124).

 

Should not take them for friends or protectors, they are but friends and protectors to each other,

Otherwise verily Allah swt. guideth not a people unjust, being fear lest a change of fortune bring a disaster,

Verily Allah will give victory according to His Will, . . . . . . . . . then repenting of the thoughts which secretly harboured in hearts?

                                                                              Bandung, 1 Shafar 1428 H.
