ASALAMU ALIKUM
THIS IS FOR THE MUSLIM VIEWER WHO IS VIEWING THIS. IT APPEARED TO ME NOW AND DAYS, THAT A LOT OF MUSLIMS INDIVIDUAL ARE LOSING THEIR IDENTITY. PARTICULARLY THE SOMALI MUSLIMS, WHO INFACT HAVE NOT BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH. REALLY, IT'S A QUESTION OF CULTURE AND IDENTITY OF WHY WE CONFORM TO THE SO CALLED "POPULAR CULTURE". WE HAVE ARE OWN IDENTITY AND THEIR SHOULD BE NO REASON TO CONFORM TO ANYTHING. ALLAH HAS PERFECTED THIS RELIGION FOR US AND HAS MADE US MULISMS. WE SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT ISLAM IS PART OF US, BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE GUIDANCE ALLAH HAS BESTOWED ON US. OUR MUSLIM IDENTITY IS VERY IMPORTANT IN A SOCIETY LIKE THIS, WHERE DESIRES AND REASONING IS THE BELIEF SYSTEM OF THE COUNTRY. IN MANY CASES, THROUGH OUT HISTORY ALLAH HAS SCORNED THOSE WITH THIS COMBINATION OF LIFE AND IF WE FOLLOW THIS WAY OF LIFE BY ACTING OF OUR DESRIRES THEN WE WILL BE LOST FOREVER, IN THIS WORLD AND HEREAFTER.
SO I REQUESTED EVERY MUSLIM INDIVIDUAL WHO READS THIS, TO CHANGE THIER LIVES TOWARDS A BROADER MUSLIM APPROACH. WE CANNOT TAKE THIS RELIGION FOR GRANTED. IT'S VERY PRECIOUS AND WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
MAY ALLAH GIVES THE COURAGE TO PRACTICE ISLAM IN FULL.
ASALAMU ALIKUM |

Please pray for me, for I feel I have strayed. My nia is always with Allah swt, but my practice (camal) is not complete. |

Assalam alaikum brothers and sisters,
inshallaah i hope that you read this message in the very best of your iman and health. I’m sure that you are all aware of the fact that inshallaah the holy month of Ramadan is coming up, a chance for us to worship Allaah (swt) and give up our wrong ways. As Muslim brothers and sisters we should spend every day as if it’s our last. Inshallaah I will try to put my knowledge to use so that it can help non-practising Muslims in this case Somalis. If anyone feels that they need to know anything inshallaah relating to Islam, feel free to ask me. At the moment I’m working on a website with some brothers from Kuwait so inshallaah I’ll give people the website address as soon as it is finish. In the mean time I’ll leave the address for a very beneficial website. It’s very authentic and got the go ahead from the best of the scholars. It contains everything from basics to higher depth of knowledge. As a Muslim sister I advice you all to check it out because there many Islamic websites that can misguide you. many Muslims today don’t look back to the Qur’aan and Sunnah of our beloved prophet(saw) or the might just use the qur’aan not knowing that the sunnah is also a revelation from Allah (swt). I advice you dear brothers and sisters to be careful from who you take your knowledge from when it comes to Islam. Know that people would quote an Ayat of Qur’aan, give their own understanding. Reject authentic Hadith not knowing the sight behind that Hadith. Will act and accept weak Hadith and because of a particular way that we’re following we say that this Hadith is Seheeh (meaning authentic). The reason why I give people this advice is that there would still or always be individuals amongst the community still rejecting and refuting without evidence. When you quote an Ayat of Qur’aan understand the meaning and tafseer of this Qur’aan from the people of knowledge. When you read a Hadith know it to be authentic from the people of Hadith not from yourself. Know that Islam is not what your father, friends or country says but islam is the Qur’aan and Sunnah. As Muslim brothers and sisters we should not be affected by the kufr society but be the ones that affect that society. Know that a person who grows up practising Islam from a young age will enter paradise. I really hope that you take this honest advice from me inshallaah. Remember that this day could be a witness for you or witness against you on the day of judgement. The address of the website is as follows:
www.salafipublications.com
inshallaah I surely hope that you enjoy looking though this website, it has many excellent features which you would benefit from. It also has other authentic websites linked to it. nice to know that there are other people who have the same intention as me.
Till next time take care, inshallaah.
Sister fatimah.
Wasalam. |
