November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Reflections on the Noble Quran

Even within our Muslim community we come across people with two basic concepts

1)  Some think that as long as you believe, you don't have to bother about following the rules of good conduct, and belief alone will make you acquire Maghfarahfrom Allah Almighty on the Day of Judgment even if you had a terrible conduct during earthly life.

2)  Another set of people think the opposite.  They carry the idea that anyone who does good earthly works, e.g. is honest, charitable, kind etc. will be a winner on the Day of Judgment even if they are staunch disbelievers in Allah The Almighty.

Both views are wrong and the Noble Quran has made it clear in many Verses.  Whoever wants to be successful in the Hereafter, must believe in Allah alone and also observe good conduct as per the principles of the Glorious Quran.  Then only will Maghfarah be granted to them on the Day of Judgment. 

"Whosoever does right, whether male or female, and is a believer, him verily we shall quicken with good life, and We shall pay them a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do."  16:97

"And whoso desires the Hereafter and strives for it with the effort necessary, being a believer; for such, their effort finds favour (with their Rab)."   17:19

"Say: Shall We inform you who will be the greatest losers by their works ?    Those whose effort goes astray in the life of the world, and yet they reckon that they do good work.   Those are they who disbelieve in the revelations of their Rab and in the meeting with Him. Therefor their works are vain, and on the Day of Resurrection We assign no weight to them."  18:103-105

"Say: I am only a mortal like you. My Rab inspires in me that your God is only One God. And whoever hopes for the meeting with his Rab, let him do righteous work, and make none sharer of the worship due unto his Rab."   18:110



Finally, to clarify a common misunderstanding, the above does not imply that if you convince yourself that you believe but do not care about being righteous, is not enough. 

Belief and right conduct go together.

"Those who believe and obscure not their belief by wrongdoing, theirs is safety; and they are rightly guided."  (6:82)

You're right, a lot of Muslims misinterpret or misunderstand this issue even though Allah Almighty has clarified it in countless Ayats of the Noble Quran. 

Thanks for posting it sister.  I hope it now sits in the minds of the deniers.

Alhumdulilah, correct 110%.   

"Whosoever surrenders his purpose to Allah while doing good, he verily hath grasped the firm hand-hold. Unto Allah belongs the sequel of all things."  31:22

Surrendering to Allah Almighty alone is the first step toward Iman (Faith) and the literal meaning of Islam is to surrender one's purpose completely to Allah alone.   This is the beginning of the path of Guidance.  It has to be enhanced and strengthened by doing good practical deeds.   All praise be to Allah alone.
