Are You a Sagitarious or a Scorpio?... Ah! So You believe in Horoscope!

Are You a Sagitarious or a Scorpio?... Ah! So You believe in Horoscope
BY NISAAR NADIADWALA

Amongst the best sellers are the books that can be the best corrupters. For example Linda Good man's Love Signs. In my college days almost every student discussed love signs. They chose friends on the basis of star signs. Proposals for affairs were carefully chosen on the basis of birthdates. Even today people are made to believe in a very gullible manner that people born with certain star signs will make good partners in love.

I remember in the late eighties when Saddam invaded Kuwait, suddenly there erupted a book that became the best seller over night. Nostradamus was not heard by many, then he became a household name amongst the book lovers. The publishers claimed that Nostradamus had written a book some 400 years back and had predicted what was going to happen in each century! No body crossed checked the translations, but accepted because one of the so called prophesy matched with the appearance of Saddam Hussain. I saw many Muslims who were regular in worship also falling prey to the fraud book. The publisher really made a fortune out of the book, which perhaps was not predicted by Nostradamus himself.

Today there are fortune tellers among Muslims too! They guarantee swiftness in success, blessings in your wealth, and increase in your children..... They call you in the name of religion. They are companions of Shayateen. I would rather say that they are the PROs of Iblees. They bless you with the information of ghaib, news about a son, or a good job.... They give relgious title to support or claim

How many of your have noticed that there are even certain newspapers run by Muslims (Urdu too) serving forecasts for the readers. I declare this to be a massacre of faith when Muslims opening up the page of forecast to see what lies for them in future and believing it religiously not realizing that they are washing off their faith.

If you believe in Horoscope then know that " in your horoscope there is more horror and less scope' I say this because this is predicted in the hadith. "Who ever believes in an astrologer has disbelieved in what Mohammed (pbuh) has brought ,i.e. The Qur'an, declares the Sahih Hadith of Abu Dawood. The other hadith of Sahih Muslim : Who ever approaches an astrologer or a palmist ( or a Tarrot reader, or a Fehgnshui or Linda Good man, or Nostradamus or Vastu Shastra) and believe in what they say, will have 40 days of Ibadah discredited from his accounts. Very simple.

Unity is the Best Policy

Unity is a weapon which can overpower any superpower of the world.

This is an absolute truth and reality that unity is the ultimate way which leads man out from the darkness of frustration, trouble, insecurity, anxiety, worry and peril into the light of peace, security, calmness, faith and safety. Be it in the field of religious beliefs, the present chaos in Kashmir or any other matter of this scattered world, unity is the best policy. Hoping to seek your goal without unity is an illusion and to seek it with unity is a reality.

There are millions of Muslims all over the world yet they are been subjugated, oppressed, prisoned and tortured. The reason is very clear and evident, it is because we failed to follow the commandments of Almighty God, and which led us into the cursed disunity. There are immense numbers of "beliefs" found in Muslims which have led them into the darkness of disunity. It is so erroneous and flawed to see that Muslims who are the followers of one Prophet and One God have beliefs which are strikingly different. The way, the path, has to be one as Allah in his divine wisdom is One. It is too illogical and unreasonable to think that there can be different beliefs in the same followers of the same prophet. The teachings were one so the beliefs must also be one. And everyone must strive to seek the truth and follow the one right way so that unity among Muslims will prevail. God Almighty vividly in the glorious and magnificent Qur'an commands people to not be divided amongst them. For verily! It leads to anxiety and trouble. Allah commands the mankind "And hold fast all together the rope which Allah (stretches out for you) and be not divided amongst yourself.." 3:103.

First and foremost Muslims must correct their beliefs and then unite on the path of guidance and mercy. The straight path, And if then they strive for their goal and against oppression, they will indeed be helped by the Lord of all that exists. God will not help anyone until they change what is within them.

Whoever on the face of earth tried to mend his ways by making the right move on the right time has achieved success. To achieve success be united and you will reach the pinnacle of success, but if you "think" disunity can do so then you are lost in the depth of illusions. Unity is a weapon which can overpower any superpower of the world. Wake up and shun all the greedy goals you have set for your lives! Unite and seek the truth in the world around you. Let peace prevail and the demons exhale. And indeed it can be achieved under the shade of Unity.

Fountain of knowledge

Fountain of knowledge

In this world of ignorance and desires Allah has blessed the Muslims with Islam. The blessing which unfortunately Muslims failed to recognize and understand. The reason for this failure is our ignorance towards the knowledge of Islam. And after having knowledge the implementation of that knowledge in our life's.Today Muslims are stuck in various illusions and deceptions of the devil (shaytaan). Some have faith but are ignorant towards the knowledge which have led them into utter ruin. Some are eluded with the deception of following the people of desires. Some are eluded with the deception of money and while others are eluded with the deception of emotions and culture. In this world of illusions and deceptions its our duty to struggle and strive to acheive the truth and follow the truth. To gain the knowledge of Islam, and live our life's the way our creator wants and the way our creator will be pleased.

To live our life, the way our creator wants it to be, we need to first and foremost know how our creator wants us to live our life's. To worship Allah we need to know how should we worship Allah. To understand the Tawheed, the very essence of Islam we need to have knowledge of Tawhed and herein arises the importance and need of knowledge of Islam. Without the knowledge of Tawheed our acceptance of religion is incomplete.Without the knowledge of worship our purpose of existence is incomplete. And thus knowledge of Islam is of the utmost importance and that's the reason why our beloved Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him made it incumbent on every Muslim to gain the knowledge of Islam. Its our duty to drink from the fountain of knowledge he left behind for us. Its our duty to illuminate oneself with the knowledge of Islam, mend ways to gain the knowledge of Islam, to illuminate our heart and to illuminate our existence.Without knowledge our faith is incomplete. So we need to strive to gain the knowledge of Islam, to drink as much as we can from the fountain of knowledge left for us and benefit others and implement that knowledge in our life's. It will indeed prove to be beneficial for us here and in hereafter.
