salaam alaikum, wonderful lecture and I also loved the reading before the video, I will definitely add the words "samina wa ata na" to my vocabulary. I'm not sure if I'll ever become an niqaabi but I benefited from the lecture all the same. Shukran, Asiyah Rashid

I'm humbled and delighted to have received these kind words from you. All praise is for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Above having any partners in either might or worship. I realize my response is wee bit tardy, please, excuse me and again... thank you.

Siraj once came and did a lecture at UT-Austin that changed my life and helped me become Muslim in 1999. I am so sad for this news, and I appreciate you telling us brother. May Allah make him strong. Ameen.

As Salaamu Alaikum Brother:

I had written a letter to Imam Siraj, inviting him to visit our prison. I didn't hear back from him and then read that he is ill, Alhamdulillah. I ask Allah (swt) Lord of the Throne to heal him/Ameen.

Hayyak'Allah, Sister.

Sadly, you're right. Very shamefully so will they hold fast to their desires after knowledge has reached them. I think in such a circumstance, the best we can do is kindly ask if it were made clear to them their tradition(s) has absolutely no basis in Islam, would they leave it for the sake of Allah azza wa jall? If they simply reply "yes", ask for their dalil and pick up from there, if instead they get defensive, recite the hawqala and leave them alone.

Wallah 'Alam

As Salaamu Alaikum Brother:

When some Muslims discover that their cultural practices are actually bid'ah and not from Islam, it creates a type of cognitive dissonance for them. Some cultural bid'ahs are so deeply ingrained that some Muslims will not stop doing them even when you point out the error.

Asalaam Alekum brother,

thank you for your reply. What you have said has served as a reminder. I mean, we as muslims know most of these things...we know that Allah forgives sins through trials/tests, we know that we don't and can't know the reason behind things and yet we still forget it! I mean everything you said...i knew it. But i guess those of us with weaker knowledge and so far weaker iman need constant reminders about these things. Hope my comment made sense. Anyways, thank you brother for your lovely reminder.

Maasalaama,

Hiba

2009-02-05T18:54:00.000-08:00

Wa'alaikum as-salaam wa Rahmatullah, sister. In'sha'Allah this reaches you in the peeks of piety.

Two things you should especially take caution... firstly, asking about that which no one has no knowledge (why Allah subahanhu wa ta'ala would do such and such to anyone?) and secondly, trying to google something that is contained only in the knowledge of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Remember, Allah is Al Hakeem (The All Wise) and Al Muqsit (The Most Just).

Allah swt has told us "every soul shall taste of death" (Al Ankabut ayah 57). The manner which He decrees our death is not in our power, He alone grants life and death. He as well assures us in Surah Baqarah ayah 156: "...but give glad tidings to those who, when afflicted with calamity say, 'inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un'." And Muhammad salallahu 'alayhi wa salaam told us that "no harm shall touch a believer except that Allah forgives them a sin through it." So the best we can conclude, is that his suffering was out of His Mercy to grant him an even higher station in Jannah, in'sha'Allah. We also know that those who were tested and suffered the most were the prophets and messengers of Allah, the most righteous and pious of men. No one has suffered nor will anyone suffer as much as they have (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon them). Are we to say they blasphemed against God and so he punished them in this life? Au'du billah, we seek refuge with Allah from such thinking.

Whether people are hero or villan, rigtheous or evil, giving or selfish; they all have and to this day suffer and die of various diseases and conditions. Let's not forget there is such thing as an Akhirah.

Consider also the corruption Deedat's most notable opponents were nailed for being invovled. Swaggert who was discovered on seperate occasions with prostitutes and Sorrosh who was jailed just last year for burning down a high rise condo in an effort to destroy tax documents of his organization. In the event they don't die of some fatal affliction, and in a state of shirk, how do suppose Allah will Judge them?

And obviously you have to ask yourself. Was Deedat wrong in his agruments? Is God Almighty alone the Forgiver and Abaser of sins or is Isse alyahis salaam? Is God Almighty the only one worthy of worship or should we worship Isse alayhis salaam, who he himself as a Rasul only summoned people to the correct belief and worship of the one true God, Allah? And to answer your last question, no, we shouldn't even consider their contentious allegations a probability.

Barak'Allah feek and fi amaani Allah, sister.

Asalaam Alekum,

I am a big fan of Ahmad Deedat. I have seen almost all of his debates that are posted on youtube. I love the man!
However, when I found out of the stroke he suffered and was paralyzed due to it and eventually died 10yrs after it, I wondered why Allah would do that to him. So I just googled as to why this would happen to him and I only came across christian sites which proclaimed that since he was wrong in his arguments that God punished him by making him suffer like that. Please dont judge my googling it because even though i'm a devout Muslim, i'm still young and i guess lack wisdom and knowledge. Anyways, I wanted to know what you thought about it or if we should even think about such a thing. I came across your blog just today so decided to post this long comment. Hope you dont mind.

maasalaama,

As Salaamu Alaikum Dear Brother:

Alhamdulillah, what you write is correct. Although I am happily married now, Masha Allah, I did have my pain in the past due to being inpatient.

Ya Rabb. We are humans; everyone wants to be loved and happy. But if we do not be patient and seek Allah's will, we will end up with fitnah.

2009-01-26T07:01:00.000-08:00

Very educational indeed. It's really easy to mix Islam & culture. Born Muslims tend to do it a lot since they associate every practice that they grew up with as being islamic! It's really important for people to be able to separate the 2 as to practice Islam in its pure form.
