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.

Islam means Submission to our creator Allah (swt).

3:83 Do they seek other than the DEEN of Allah, when all things in the heavens and the earth, willingly and unwillingly submit to Him, and to Him they will be returned.

According to the above verse (3:83), everything in the heavens and the earth submit to Allah. In other words all these are believers.


22:18 Don't you see that all things and beings in the heavens and in the earth, the sun and the moon, and the stars and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and a great many human beings bow themselves to Allah (in submissiveness and obedience)

Sajda means bowing or prostrating in submissiveness or submission. Obviously, everything in the heavens and the earth do not prostrate as humans do physically by putting their foreheads on the ground but this means the submissiveness and obedience of these things to Allah’s Command or Law.

24:41 Do you not realize that Allah, It is He Whose assigned tasks all beings in the heavens and the earth carry out, and the birds, with their wings outspread, as they fly in columns. All of them know their SALAT and TASBEEH (mission and strife). Allah is Aware of what they do.

Everything in the heaven and the earth is striving to carry out the tasks assigned by Allah. Everything knows its SALAAT and TASBEEH.

The difference between their submission and  submission of humans is that these things are bound to follow Allah’s laws willingly or unwillingly [3:83, 13:15]. They do not have any choice. The Sun does not have any choice to change its course. The stars do not have any choice to move to any position other that the ordained, and so on. All are whole-heartedly obedient to Allah’s commands [2:116]. But man has not been created to be obedient by default but he is commanded to do so by choice [2:238]. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth submits to Allah’s commands willingly or unwilling [3:83]. But human beings have choice. Whoever among them submits his whole self entirely to Allah, will have his reward with his Lord [2:112].

It is the mercy of Allah that gives us this choice but mankind due to his ignorance and blind love for the world absuses this choice and disobeys Allah. How can we not seek the pleasure of Allah through submitting to Him in total. Why are we so thankless and so heedless to the most important pleasure we can ever seek and that is the pleasure of submitting ourselves to Allah. What is the reason behind our partial or no submission?

Fear of Allah and total believe in his deen, unless we have these traits embedded in us we cannot submit ourselves to Allah in a genuine manner. The fear of Allah comes through understanding his deen the way it is and not the way we wish it to be, we need to control our desires, our ego and arrogance to appreciate the deen of Allah.
We need to realise the totality of His message and the exclusive greatness in His message that does not need complementation or supplementation of any kind.

So let us all surrender to Allah totally for that is the only way to seek His pleasure and have a pure and successful life.

Beautiful piece brother Salam.  It's a great reminder for all readers.  JazekAllah khayr.

Indeed those who waver from total surrender to Allah alone are a very unfortunate lot. 

I think, from whatever I've seen, the reasons behind peoples' partial or no submission are:

1) Those born and bred in disbelieving homes who are never taught about the ultimate reality of Allah and the indispensible importance of Tawheed.  Such folks don't submit at all.

2)  Those who have changed the Message of Allah are torn apart between the Message of Allah and the calls of their so-called saints and leaders.  This distraction prevents them from submitting to Allah completely.

3)  Those who are uncontrollably drawn to earthly materialism and the outward & temporary glamor of this world e.g. money, jewellery, lavish homes, fame, ambition etc. end up with incorrect priorities of life and thus do not fully submit to Allah alone.

Good points sister and as Allah says in Sura Waqiya verse 79 " only the pure of heart can truly understand and derive benefit from the Quran.

May Allah bless us with the best knolwedge and give us humility and fear and love for Him in our hearts...Ameen.

JazekAllah Khair.  May Allah, The Exalted, grant us the Light of His guidance, knowledge and taqwa, and save us from ever deviating from His path.  Ameen.

Praise be to Allah Almighty, and peace, blessings and love on the Final Messenger and Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad.
