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.

BismEm





As we know, Muslims are supposed to say "InshAllah" ( إن شاء الله ) before talking about their plan of doing something in future or expecting something to happen in future.  

Most of us might mention this term as a ritual and therefore, many a times we forget to mention it.  

As per the rules of the Noble Quran, this omission is a violation and must be avoided.  

The term "InshAllah" ( إن شاء الله ) means "if God wills" or "God willing."   No matter how carefully we plan the future and how likely that plan may seem to materialize, the ultimate truth of the matter is that eventually it will materialize only if Allah wills.  The final approval is always His for everything in life.  Indeed, His approval may depend upon various aspects of our character, intent and behaviour.  But unless He ordains and permits a thing to happen for us, we cannot make it happen.  

The same was also true regarding the Divine Revelations which the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) received from Allah.  The Prophet (pbuh could not control the Revelations.  The Revelations came upon him whenever Allah Almighty would decide to send them.  

"And say not of anything: Lo! I shall do that tomorrow,
Except if Allah will. And remember thy Lord when thou forgettest, and say: It may be that my Lord guideth me unto a nearer way of truth than this."   (18:23-24)  Surah Al-Kahf


Here's the history of these two verses as written by Muhammed Marmaduke Pickthall in his tafsir of Surah Al-Kahf.

According to analysts, certain Jews of Arabia told the idolaters to ask the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) three questions as a crucial test of his Prophethood.

The first question was "Ask him" said the Jewish rabbi "of some youth who were of old, what was their fate, for they have a strange story."   The second question was "and ask him of a much travelled man who reached the regions of earth and the sunset regions thereof, what was his history" and the third question was  "and ask him of the Spirit, what it is."  

The tormentors of the Prophet (pbuh) who had been to Yasrib (Medina) to get hints from the Jews, on their return to Mecca put these questions to the Prophet.  The Prophet replied that he would surely answer them on the morrow, without adding "if Allah will" as though he could command Allah's revelations.  As a reproof for that omission, the wished for Revelation was withheld from him for some days, and when it came included the rebuke contained in the above verses 18:23-24.  

The answers to the first two questions are contained in Surah Al-Kahf, verses 10 to 27, 83 to 98 and 60 to 82.  The answer to the third question is found in Surah Bani Israel (also known as Surah Al-Isra), verse 85.

Hence, since the inclusion of the term "InshAllah" was so important for the Prophet (pbuh), it has to be just as important for the rest of the believers.  There's absolutely no doubt about it.

Very important reminder.  We must all know that the expression "Insh'Allah" is not just a ritual, but it carries a very profound significance.  It's the height of impertinence with those 'Muslims' who make big plans and talk of them as if accomplished, without even thinking once that these plans have no guarantee unless Allah so wills. 

Thanks sister.

You're right Sister Ruhi.  Most people do say it as a ritual and many don't even know what it means, and they certainly don't know that it's a Quranic order.

That's correct.   So many even among so-called Muslims just don't care to say "InshAllah."  Not just that, but some who try to be too Westernized are also cynical when they hear other Muslims say "InshAllah."   Very shocking attitude.

Very true Sister. 

Also many such so-called Muslims refute our Islamic greeting "As-Salam Alaykum."  Some make light of it, many don't consider it important at all.  But actually it is a Quranic injunction.  InshAllah, I will soon put up a post on it.

Yes, I have observed that attitude in many.   They have no idea that the Islamic greeting of 'Salaam Alaikum' is a Quranic instruction. 

I am sure it would be very helpful for many of our readers if, Insh'Allah, you get the time to put up a post on the importance of the greeting of 'salaam alaikum.'
