- Islam and Economy

Islam and Economy
******************
There are lots of unfair appeals supported by enemies of Islam and those who fear it, they want to make the Qur'an only a book for worship and to separate religion from life, whereas the Noble Qur'an is a book for life.
Economy is the artery of this life, the basic for developing the society and the sign for the progress of its individuals, how could we separate it from religion? It guides and organizes all these matters. The Islamic view upon economic and social life is an integral view that can't be separated from its view for human life as a whole under the sovereignty of Sharia (Quran and prophet's Sunna).
The principles of Islamic economy is that it never deprive natural instinct of possessing among Muslims, but it refines and guides it for the protection of man himself as well as his society. Islam doesn't enchain the creative power of individuals for developing life, but it encourages them to produce, innovate, construct and progress on condition that all this is legal, without wastefulness and they should thank Allah for it.
Islam doesn't equalize people according to their possessions, but equalizes them in their rights and human dignity, it gives the weak rights from the strong to make them strong, it gives the poor a share from the wealth of the rich to support them, so weakness and poverty that are the enemies of economic progress are no longer existed in Muslim society, this also removes envy and hatred which are the enemies of social peace. Besides it encourages the poor to work hard and not to beg, so Islam urges all the work force in society, men and women to work and not to beg people, it also fights unemployment and laziness, it makes the whole society one integrated structure supporting each other for production

- Muslims and money:

Muslims and money:
********************
Muslims think that money which is the foundation of economy is in fact Allah's possession and we are only substitutes in it, although we earn it by our knowledge and labor to pave the way for our energy, we know that Allah will question us where we got it from and where we spent it, He watches us and He can pass it to other people if He wills. Sharia determined the relationship between Muslims and money, so they won't become oppressive if they are rich or try to get it illegally if they are poor, they keep to their ethics whenever they have much or less money, if it comes to them, they thank Allah and got His rewards, and if it goes away, they are patient and also deserve Allah's rewards.
Every Muslim knows that this life as a whole is integrated with death, resurrection and questioning that follow it and all the deeds of getting or spending money are related to this. A Muslim works in this life as if he is going to live forever; he also works for the hereafter as if he is going to die tomorrow. In both, a Muslim's constitution is the same Qur'an, his teacher is only one prophet, his morals are indivisible. There is not a Muslim for the mosque, another one for the shop, another one for the factory or another one for the house.
A Muslim is always the same everywhere and at all times, his deeds are for satisfying Allah and following the way of the prophet



- Du'aa (supplication) of facilitating giving birth

Du'aa (supplication) of facilitating giving birth
...........................................
Ibn-Assonny narrated after Fatimah that when she was about to give birth, the messenger of Allah asked Om-Salamah and Zainab Bent-Jahsh to go to her and read: {Ayat Al-Korsey (Surat Al-Bakarah verse 255), the following 54th verse of Al- A'raf: (Your Lord is the one GOD, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then assumed all authority. The night overtakes the day, as it pursues it persistently, and the sun, the moon, and the stars are committed to serve by His command. Absolutely, He controls all creation and all commands. Most Exalted is GOD, Lord of the universe.), and charm her by Al-Mo'awezatayn (Surat Al-Falak and Surat Annas).}




- Love good for your brother as for yourself

Secondly:
Love good for your brother as for yourself
*************************************************
Then he mentioned a higher degree in belief, man should love good for his brother as for himself, the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said to those who have healthy hearts and pure souls:
"No one of you will be a believer unless he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." 1
He urged all Muslims to work for this high degree in order to become perfect believers. If we apply and follow this Hadeeth in our life, will there be any problems? No, never by Allah, because I question myself and my brother questions himself and everyone love good for his brother as for himself, so there will be no problems, same as it was in the ideal life in Medina originated by the messenger of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
We'll mention only one example for that, you know that Ansar welcomed their emigrant brothers and shared their houses, wealth and other things with them. When Islam prevailed and profits came, the messenger of Allah gathered Ansar and said to them:
"What do you say? Do I give these profits to the emigrants because they are poor so that they leave you what they took from you or divide them amongst you both and they keep what you gave them?"
Look at these people, who gave preference over themselves, they said:
"O messenger of Allah, give all the profits to emigrants and we won't take anything from them because we did it for Allah."
Then this verse was revealed:
"Those who, before them, had homes (in Al-Medina) and had adopted the Faith, love those who emigrate to them, and have no jealousy in their breasts for that which they have been given, and give them (emigrants) preference over themselves, even though they were in need of that. Whosoever is saved from his own covetousness, such are they who will be the successful." (59-9)
Allah didn't say: "They had homes only but had homes and faith." So we should ask for home with faith, when the companions of the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) saw this verse and these blessed Ahadeeth, they followed this way in their behaviors and their lives. One of them wouldn't be satisfied unless he saw the good in his brother. Sending away the bad and loving the good for his brother in his own heart is more than for himself. It's not a matter of poverty and difficulty, but it is the wideness of breasts and the purity of hearts which only comes by clear faith and pure love for Allah and his prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
*****************************************
1- After Anas in Saheeh Imam Muslim.

- . What are the miracles of Prophet Mohammed

Some people accuse the prophet of having no miracles. What are the miracles of Prophet Mohammed?
**********************************************
Prophet Mohammed, (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him), had many miracles. The biographers collected about three thousands of them concerning all fields of humanity. These miracles are found in the books and encyclopedias, which deal with the prophet biography.
The greatest and the most important eternal miracle is the holy Qur'an, which keeps up with all modern scientific discoveries in all fields man needs, healthy, social and political fields.

- The second procedure Extracting rancor from chests

The second procedure
Extracting rancor from chests
Allah says:
"We shall remove from their breasts any sense of injury (rancor)" (15-47)
To be brothers for Allah, we must be sincere and honest with one another, everyone of us should use the lancet of the book of Allah and open his breast and heart and fill it with the secret of brotherhood for Allah, love for Allah and cordiality for Allah so that this brotherhood can be effective in this life. One couldn't put brotherhood for Allah, love for Allah and cordiality for Allah in his heart while it is still full of hatred, enmity, rancor, envy, dislike, and similar diseases that divert from achieving brotherhood among believers. So Allah revealed the way of Qur'an in one small verse and said: 
"We shall remove from their breasts any sense of injury (rancor)" (15-47)
Under rancor lay self-preference, selfishness, envy, jealousy and all the personal descriptions that should be replaced by social values like altruism, cordiality, beneficence and mercy. If those descriptions that lead to selfishness are removed from the heart and replaced by divine descriptions and values of Qur'an that lead to brotherhood and collectivism, then immediately Allah says:
"(So they will be like) brothers facing each other on thrones." (15-47)
Then the first condition of brotherhood is that there should be nothing in breasts, no envy, no jealousy, no hatred. They once asked our master Abi-Tharr about one brother in Allah who left the right way of Allah: "Don't you hate him?" He said: "I hate his bad behavior, if he left it, he is my brother." But now a brother wants disasters to come to his brother, he is even pleased if disasters come to his brother and gets angry if good things come to him. This is not the description of believers, he sometimes glees at others' misfortune although the beloved prophet said:
"Don't glee at your brother's misfortune or Allah will have mercy upon him and afflict you." 
Our master the messenger of Allah clarified this verse in his trusted Hadeeth narrated in Saheeh Al-Bokhary and Muslim, he said:
"Don't be jealous at one another, don't tanajasho (cause someone to buy something more than its real price by pretending it is worth), don't hate one another, don't stand back to back, don't buy something while someone is still negotiating about it, be equal brothers servants of Allah, a Muslim is a Muslim's brother, he neither oppress him nor let him down nor envy him, piety is here (and he referred to his breast), it's too much evil for a Muslim to despise his Muslim brother, all the Muslim is banned to any Muslim, his blood (life), his wealth and his honor." 
This means that brotherhood only comes after removing these abstract diseases. Unfortunately these diseases are now in the hearts of Islamic nation, whereas our master the messenger of Allah treated the society of Medina from these abstract and psychological diseases. A Muslim there not only loved for his brother what he loved for himself but he loved good for his brother more than himself.
Brotherhood means:
- We all are one man.
- We have a single aim that is to satisfy The One (Allah).
- We have one book that was revealed to our generous prophet.
- We have only one prophet, he is the best chosen prophet by Allah to all people from the beginning of this life to the Day of Judgment.
- Our deeds that get us nearer to Allah are the same.
- The rewards Allah promised to grant all people either in this life or in the Day of Judgment is dependent on believers' good conditions and their righteousness.
This leads to the third procedure by which Allah removes high prices and plague and causes us to live in blessings and prosperity from the land and the heavens.
To be followed

- Greatness of Islam

Greatness of Islam:
What a great religion that asks its followers : 
-Not to perform pilgrimage unless they have extra money not needed by themselves or their families.
- Not to borrow money for performing pilgrimage.
- Not to perform pilgrimage and leave their adult sons without marriage, they should marry their grown-up sons first or find job opportunities for those who are unemployed by preparing them projects, for instance.
If you want to perform pilgrimage, you should leave your family all their needs that suffice them until you come back. But we see now some of our brothers borrow to perform Omra, if pilgrimage which is an obligatory duty mustn't be performed in debt, should I borrow to perform Omra? What's Omra? I can perform Omra and pilgrimage while I'm here, how? I can perform Omra and pilgrimage twice a day, the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"Whoever performs dawn prayer in Jama'a (congregation) and sits remembering Allah until sunrise, then prays two prostrations, he has the reward of a pilgrimage and an Omra completed, completed." 
Whoever insists on that after this Hadeeth, it's his own desire, not for Allah's sake. Our religion asks believers to start by themselves as said by our righteous ancestors:
"Start by yourself, earn your and your family's living, then worship Allah"
This is for optional worship (Nawafel).

- What is the food of spirit

What is the food of spirit
The food of spirit is everything ordered by God, or recommended by the apostle of God, (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him). Man only seeks God's satisfaction as he is following and doing them. Such as reciting Qur'an with deep thinking, contemplation, remembering God with sincerity and sound heart. Blessing upon the prophet, (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him), by recalling his beauty and his perfection. Asking God's forgiveness from sins with regret and intending not to do them again. Doing good deeds for people seeking God's bounty and His gifts, useful knowledge that leads to doing good and urging a person to do it and keep doing it.


- Signs of Allah's love to man: Does Allah love man? What are the signs of this love

Signs of Allah's love to man:
Does Allah love man? What are the signs of this love?
God loves man because He honored him and ennobled him over all creatures, God says:
17:70. "We have honored the children of Adam; provided them with transport on land and sea; given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred on them special favors, above a great part of our creation".
The evidence that God loves man is that He prepared the earth for him before creating him; He prepared everything he needs, food, clothing, medicine, dwelling, mounts and others. He created plants and fruits for him to eat, He created sweet water for him to drink and saltwater to mount, eat fish and to be a store for water when he needs it. He employs animal for him to ride, drink its milk, eat its meat, use its wool and leather and some of them to guard him.
He created air and carries on refreshing it to keep his life. He created the sun to provide him with light and warmth, show him night and day and to calculate days, months and years. At nights, He made the moon and the stars to light and guide him on land and sea, He saved all kinds of metals he needs under the ground so that he uses them in his life.
We see that all creatures in the heavens, on earth and in between them are all created and employed for man as he is the pearl of universes, he is the successor chosen by God to dwell the earth, God says:
2:30. "I will create a vicegerent on earth".
He employed everything in heavens and on earth for this vicegerent (man), God says:
45:13. "And He has subjected to you, as from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth".



 

- The prophetic prescription for reforming our conditions

The prophetic prescription for reforming our conditions:
Prophet Mohammed determined the luminous divine medical prescription for our conditions, he says:
"Have mercy with those on land, may that who is in the heavens (Allah) have mercy with you." 1
The matter does not need much supplication, reciting Qur'an or glorifying, but if we do good among ourselves and treat in our sale, buying, societies and markets following Allah's Sharia, then Allah will look at us a satisfactory look, reform all our conditions and grant us so much favors that it will exceed our needs and the needs of birds and animals, because he says in Qur'an:
"Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer."
What will he get O Allah? In life:
"(Verily, to him) We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision),"
And in the hereafter:
" We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter)." 16-97
Allah said in His divine Hadeeth:
"I, humans and Jinn are in great affair, I create but others are being worshipped, I provide subsistence but others are being thanked, My provision is continuous to people but their evils are rising to Me, I try to be close to them by grants although I don't need them, they go away from Me although they do need Me, if they repent to Me, I'm their beloved and if they turn away from Me, I'm their physician, I afflict them by distresses to purify them from sins and faults." 2
In other narrations: "Whoever turns away from Me among them, I call him from a close place." "Whoever behaved out of My strength, I shall make iron mild for him." "People who remember me are people of My sittings, people who thank me are people of My extra, people who disobey Me I never make them despair of My mercy, if they repent, I'm their physician and I love those who turn unto Me in repentance and love those who purify themselves."
**********************************************************
1- By Abdullah Ibn Amr, narrated by Ahmed and At'termethy, he said: The messenger of Allah said: "The most merciful (Allah) have mercy with those who are merciful, Have mercy with those on land, may that who is in the heavens have mercy with you, the kinship is a branch from The most merciful, whoever connects it, Allah connects him and whoever forsake it, Allah forsakes him."
2- Al-Hakeem after Abi-Ad'dardaa, Mosnad Ash'shameyeen, Al-Fat'h Al-Kabeer and in Shoab Al-Eeman, there are different narrations for the Hadeeth.



Pantheism, polytheism and monotheism -

Pantheism, polytheism and monotheism
What is the difference between pantheism, polytheism, atheism and monotheism?
-----------------------------------
1-Pantheism: This is a philosophical issue, it is not found in religions or in fact. Those who imagine it think that the universe is one thing, which is God and nothing is separated from Him. They think that the universe even in its different pictures has only one fact that controls and moves it, which is the divine fact. They illegally accuse some great Muslim Sufis like Ibn-Araby and Asahrawardy that they say the same thing, but their words and their deeds are against it.
2-Polytheism: It is worshipping one or many with God, they allege they help and support God in divine deeds, and this is not correct as God says:
21:22. "If there were, in the heavens and the earth, other Gods besides God, there would have been confusion in both".
3-Atheism: It is denying Godhood totally; they allege that this universe was found by coincidence or naturally, and that it is not created or innovated by God. This atheism spread more in our time with the development of sciences because most young people are controlled by their desires, they do not want them to be following the orders of other people, society or even God. As human desires are organized and controlled by religion, and religions set certain divine ways to get and organize them, those people deny religions totally to free their human desires completely even if this hurts them and others, God says about such people:
7:186. "in their trespasses, (they are) wandering in distraction".
4-Monotheism: Confessing that Godhood is only due to God, believing from deep heart that this universe has only one God, who created it from nothing and perfectly organizes and runs it, you can't find any small defect and you can't add anything to the creation and innovation of God. This God never be in a thing, or from a thing, or on a thing, or needs anything, or located on anything, God says:
42:11. "There is nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is the One that hears and sees (all things)".
He has no father, no mother, no wife, no son, no daughter, God says:
112:3,4. "He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him".
He knows and watches all our movements, our stills, our outsides and our insides, nothing is unseen by Him either on earth or in heavens, nothing is hidden from him even inside the secrets of man and his conscience. He has the ultimate power over His world, His Kingdom and all His people, He says:
21:23. "He cannot be questioned for His acts, but they will be questioned (for theirs)"



- Can atheism be a religion?

Can atheism be a religion?
Atheism can never be a religion because it denies religions. Religion is the belief in the existence of a God.
-It can be a real God as in monotheism and the three heavenly religions, Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
-It can be an imaginary God, some people believe in him, even if it does not match monotheism in heavenly religions. This is found in the religions invented by man, such as Buddhism who sanctify cows and make them as God, Magianism, who worship fire, Sabians, who worship stars, Pagans who worship trees and stones and others.

- ASKING FORGIVENESS FROM ALLAH

ASKING FORGIVENESS FROM ALLAH
A supplicant who seeks response should keep to repentance by all types of asking forgiveness.
Imam Muslim narrated after Al-Agharr Al-Mazney that the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "I ask for forgiveness from Allah one hundred times a day." Attermedhy narrated attributing it to the prophet: "Whoever keeps to asking for forgiveness, Allah will grant him dispelling from every grieve, a way out of every distress and endow him subsistence from where he never expects."

- How were the manners of Prophet Mohammed with his wives

How were the manners of Prophet Mohammed with his wives?
He (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him), was eager to care about them and provide them with all their needs.
He provided each one of them with a house that contains all the means of life according to that time. He used to provide each one of them by her food and her needs for a whole year.
He used to care about their psychological health. He was fair amongst them, he used to stay with each one of them for a night, if he paid one of them an additional visit, he used to do the same to others and visit all of them, he was careful that they gather every night at the house where he stayed that night.
If he was to travel, he used to draw lots amongst them to choose one by lot to travel with him. He used to deal with them kindly, he used to talk to them nicely, he never dealt with them in a rude, harsh or a rough way. He never insulted or offended them. He was as God says:
4:19. "Live with them on a footing of kindness and equity".


- Why do western people have fears from Islam?

Why do western people have fears from Islam?
Western people have fears from Islam for many reasons:
1-Western people are fanatic, they think they are the best race in the world and all the other people are less than them in degree and rank, but Islam made people equal in everything. The Prophet (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him), said: " Verily, God took the pre-Islamic boastfulness and pride of ancestors away from you (Muslims), people are either a pious believer or a miserable dissolute, people are Adam's children and Adam was created out of earth"(1) . The Prophet also said about the scale by which people are preferred away from fanaticism for color, race or language: "An Arab never exceeds a non-Arab, a non-Arab never exceeds an Arab, a red man never exceeds a black man, a black man never exceeds a red man except by fearing God" (2).
2-Western people used to be unfair to Islamic communities. They took over their lands, claiming that they only want to construct them, but they robbed them, took the treasures and used them in setting up their own civilization. They also robbed the mineral, agricultural and animal materials and used them for their industry. They were keen on making Muslim countries as salable markets for their products. Because they feel guilty, they have the desire of revenge and they can't be tolerant or forgive people as Muslims do. Thus, they were afraid lest Muslims might have their own culture and take their revenge from them because they oppressed them.
3-Western people valued desires and whims among people so that they can easily control them. However, Islam moderates these desires and recommends having them moderately so that man can be free and honorable enough to behave and do well asking his rights and doing his duties. This will affect the western societies, which were based on anarchy and savagery.
4-With the power of their armies and weapons, western people got very prominent international positions like controlling the Security Council, having the right of veto for their own good, controlling the military and economical markets and the technological and medical services. Western people are so interested in those privileges that they do not want to give them up. They know well that if Muslims have their power, they will deprive them from these privileges because Islam is the religion of equality among people in all rights and duties.
