Nonetheless, he calculated that the chances of all the atoms coming together spontaneously in a specific order, despite their being in the appropriate numbers and in an appropriate environment, in such a way as to produce an E. coli bacterium *was 1 in 10^100,000,000,000.[3]This goes far beyond being merely impossible.* Such a number reveals the impossibility of even the least complex organism in the universe forming by chance, even if all the conditions and materials are brought together. *A sufficient number of proteins combining together is not sufficient for life to emerge* Let us imagine we have all the proteins necessary for life ready to hand. The existence of these proteins, which cannot come about in this way, IS NOT ENOUGH FOR EVEN A SINGLE CELL TO FORM. Microbiologists and biochemists explicitly say that the organization of these proteins within the cell is also highly important, otherwise the proteins will serve no purpose. Moreover, as Darwinist scientists know full well, the cell possesses organelles that manufacture proteins and a glorious DNA data bank far more complex than proteins. A living cell is made possible by all these structures possessing the same function and organization at the same time, and acting with the same consciousness. This is a fact that demolishes Darwinism. The fact that bacteria possess an extraordinary internal organization was unknown until the 1990s. The fact is, however, that the complex cells (eukaryotic) comprising single cell protozoans are known to be made up of a nucleus, organelles, membrane systems, a cytoskeleton, several internal sections and other contents organizing the content of the cell on the molecular level.[4] All these systems are extraordinarily complex. One cannot function independently of the others. *Conclusion* As the information provided here shows, microbiology, biochemistry and genome research, all the main scientific advances in the second half of the 20th century and the 21st century in short, have eradicated all the claims of the theory of evolution. These scientific conclusions have revealed that Darwinism is totally unscientific and consists of claims that are far removed from science. Science has refuted evolutionist claims regarding “a very simple first living organism.” Aside from the minimum number of proteins and minimum complexity needed for it to be alive, an organism is too complex to be explained by evolutionist claims of chance and possesses a perfect organization. In addition to all this complexity, the existence of a single cell brings the theory of evolution to a complete halt. It is an evident fact that life came into being from nothing with the infinite intelligence, knowledge and might of Allah (Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala). This fact, obvious to reason and good conscience, is also corroborated by countless scientific data today. The following is revealed in the Qur’an about our Lord’s matchless Creation: *[Allah is] the Originator of the heavens and earth. When He decides on something, He just says to it, “Be!” and it is.* (Surat al Baqara, 117) [1]Jack Maniloff, “The Minimal Cell Genome:’On Being the Right Size’,” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA 93 81996), pp. 10004 10006; Mitsuhiro Itaya, “An Estimation of Minimal Genome Size Required for Life,” FEBS Letters 362 (1995), pp 257 260; Rana and Ross, Origins of Life, p. 163 [2]Rana and Ross, Origins of Life, p. 163 [3]Robert  Shapiro, Origins: A Skeptic’s Guide to Creation of Life on Earth (New York: Bantam Books, 1986), p. 128; Rana and Ross, Origins of Life, p. 164 [4]Lucy Shapiro and Richard Losick, “Protein Localization and Cell Fate in Bacteria,” Science 276 (1997), pp.712 718; Rana and Ross, Origins of Life, p. 166 _____ For more articles go to www.islaaminfo.org No Copyright.

*Genome Research Is Demolishing the "First Cell That Formed by Chance" Claim* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaBaK63CxoAmzBbOex02/101 The theory of evolution maintains, on the basis of no scientific foundation whatsoever, that at a time when there was still no life on Earth, inanimate substances came together to give rise to the first living organism. According to this evolutionist claim, the first living organism must have had a sufficiently simple structure to have been able to form by chance. The fact is, however, that Darwinists ARE UNABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR HOW EVEN A SINGLE PROTEIN EMERGED. The fact that a single protein cannot form spontaneously is one that in any case totally demolishes the theory of evolution. But even if we assume for a moment that this impossibility did actually come about, we still see that the “primitive cell” claimed by Darwinists eliminates with absolutely certain proofs the possibility of life coming into being spontaneously. Data provided by science in the 21st century shows that even the life form with the very simplest structure is in fact highly complex, and that it is practically impossible for it to emerge spontaneously and by chance. Genome research supplies this information. Based on the idea that living things with the smallest genome (extremophiles and eubacteria) have the least complexity, scientists have calculated the probabilities of these organisms appearing by chance and spontaneously. Another point needing clarification here is this: scientists also regard these organisms as the oldest life forms on Earth. Genome research revealed that the lowest number of proteins required for life was between 250 and 450.[1] In other words, the minimum number of different proteins that would have to combine together at the same time in order to give rise to the structural features of the cell and performs its basic functions is between 250 and 450. It also needs to be made clear that this minimum number of 250-450 proteins is the number of proteins obtained from microbes living parasitically. The minimum number of proteins needed in order for an organism to live independently of another is around 1500. In other words, Darwinists have to account for the separate existence of 1500 different proteins needed to give rise to a single functioning cell. But, to reiterate, Darwinists are unable to account for the emergence of even a single protein. It is totally impossible for between 250 and 1500 different proteins required for an organism to be considered as living to form spontaneously and at the same time. Probability calculations on the subject are given in the following table:  *Minimum Protein Number[2]* Probability of Emerging Simultaneously 250. - 10^18,750 350. - 10^26,250 500. - 10^37,500 1,500. - 10^112,500 1,900. - 10^142,500 As the above table shows, the probability of a living organism with the least protein forming by chance is 1 in 10^18,750. (In order to grasp the vast size of this number, it will be useful to remember that the *total number of atoms in the universe is 10^78*.) In other words, there is no chance at all. Despite all these calculations and scientific data, *evolutionists still insist on believing in the impossible.* The sole reason for that insistence is their determination to deny the existence of Almighty Allah, Who created all things out of nothing. *Morowitz’s probability calculation* The probability calculations cited above are in agreement with a calculation by the biophysicist Harold Morowitz. He assumed he had broken all the chemical bonds in the E. coli bacterium and released all the atoms comprising it, and then calculated the probability of these atoms spontaneously recombining to give rise to the E. coli once again. In this theoretical experiment, all the atoms required are present in all the appropriate quantities, and it is assumed that no other atom can become involved from the outside.

*🩸Our Amazing Blood Vessels Are 160,000 Kms Long🩸* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaBaK63CxoAmzBbOex02/101 DID you know that if you took all the blood vessels out of an average child and laid them out in one line, the line would stretch over 60,000 miles (100,000 kms)? An adult’s would be closer to 100,000 miles (160,000 kms) long. In contrast, the entire earth’s circumference is only about 40,075 km. Can you imagine the 5-6 ft body of ours has so many “wires” connecting and keeping our body parts operating without getting entangled and perfectly fitted inside us? They also come in different sizes, ranging from a diameter of 25 millimeters to only 8 micrometers. *Subhan Allah, how amazing is Allah’s creation!* One can only feel pity for the scientists who witness the perfect creation and still deny the Creator. No one would ever accept that a phone or a car, something far less marvelous, did not have a designer or manufacturer. *Yet they deny the miraculous signs of creation all around us.* Our blood vessels are of three kinds: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Each plays a very specific role in the circulation process. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. They’re tough on the outside but they contain a smooth interior layer of epithelial cells that allows blood to flow easily. Arteries also contain a strong, muscular middle layer that helps pump blood through the body. Capillaries connect the arteries to veins. The arteries deliver the oxygen-rich blood to the capillaries, where the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. The capillaries then deliver the waste-rich blood to the veins for transport back to the lungs and heart. Veins carry the blood back to the heart. They’re similar to arteries but not as strong or as thick. Unlike arteries, veins contain valves that ensure blood flows in only one direction. (Arteries don’t require valves because pressure from the heart is so strong that blood is only able to flow in one direction.) Valves also help blood travel back to the heart against the force of gravity. Allah Ta'ala says: *'And on the earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty, _And also in your ownselves_ . Will you not then see?' (Quran 51,20-21)* _____ For more articles go to www.islaaminfo.org No Copyright. Please feel free to share with others.

If a child grows up being protected from every form of criticism and correction, he may struggle later in life when a teacher, employer, spouse or another person points out his shortcomings. At the same time, correction should not become the only interaction a child has with his parents. Just as a parent should be prepared to correct a child when he does wrong, he should also acknowledge his good in order to encourage him and uplift him if his spirits are low. This quality of lifting a person’s spirits was found in the blessed life of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) as well. On one occasion, a Sahaabi by the name of Zaahir (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was in the marketplace when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) approached him from behind and embraced him. Sayyiduna Zaahir (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), not knowing who it was, exclaimed, “Let me go! Who is this?” However, when he realised that it was Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), he did not want the embrace to end. He pressed his back against the blessed chest of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), wanting to remain in his embrace. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) light-heartedly said, “Who will buy this slave?” Sayyiduna Zaahir (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) replied with humility, “O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! By Allah, you will find me to be of little worth!” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) then responded with a statement that captured the essence of his ability to lift hearts. He said, “But in the sight of Allah, you are not worthless.” (Musnad Ahmad #12648) Our children are an amaanah from Allah Ta‘ala, and raising them requires more than providing for their physical needs. They need parents who will patiently teach them, lovingly guide them and courageously correct them when necessary. A child who is lovingly corrected today may be protected from a far greater mistake tomorrow. The correction that feels difficult in the moment may become the guidance that shapes his character for years to come.

*The Courage to Correct* https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ig8hl5yeUKPJwHScT6Obaa In a time when many parents are deeply concerned about their children’s happiness, confidence and emotional well-being, an important responsibility of parenting is increasingly being overlooked: the responsibility of correcting them. While love, affection and encouragement are essential in raising a child, so too is teaching him right from wrong, setting boundaries and correcting him when he goes beyond them. A child does not naturally know what is acceptable and what is not. He needs guidance, and that guidance sometimes requires a parent to say, “This is wrong,” and to firmly correct him. Correction is not a sign that a parent does not love his child. In fact, proper correction is an expression of a parent’s love and concern. When a parent sees his child developing a bad habit, behaving disrespectfully or neglecting an important responsibility, remaining silent does not help the child. Allowing every mistake to pass without addressing it may keep the child happy for the moment, but it does little to prepare him for life. A child needs parents who will lovingly guide him, teach him boundaries and help him understand that actions have consequences. One of the greatest mistakes that can be made in the upbringing of children is to confuse love with a permissive approach. A parent may feel that correcting the child will upset him, cause him to become distant or make him feel bad about himself. As a result, certain behaviours are repeatedly overlooked. Disrespect is tolerated, disobedience is excused, responsibilities are neglected and mistakes are brushed aside. With time, however, what was initially a small behaviour can become a deeply rooted habit. Children need to learn from a young age that there are certain things that are simply not acceptable. A child who speaks disrespectfully to his parents needs to be corrected. A child who lies needs to be taught the seriousness of dishonesty. A child who refuses to fulfil his responsibilities needs to be reminded and, where necessary, disciplined. A child who is careless regarding salaah needs to be guided and encouraged towards punctuality and commitment. These lessons cannot always be taught through gentle suggestions alone. There are times when a firm reprimand is necessary. The Quraan and ahaadeeth place great emphasis on the responsibility of parents to nurture and guide their children. Allah Ta‘ala says, “ *O you who believe, save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones* .” (Surah Tahreem v6) This responsibility cannot be fulfilled merely by providing children with food, clothing, education and material comfort. It includes protecting them from harmful behaviour, teaching them their obligations and correcting them when they go wrong. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) also emphasised the importance of teaching children salaah from a young age. He said, “ *Command your children to perform salaah when they are seven years old, and discipline them regarding it when they are ten.”* (Sunan Abi Dawood #495) This demonstrates that tarbiyah involves more than simply explaining what is right. There comes a time when parents must insist upon obedience and take appropriate measures when a child deliberately neglects what he has been taught. Correction, however, should not be confused with anger, humiliation or constantly finding fault. The purpose of correction is not to make a child feel worthless, nor is it to vent one’s frustration. A child should be corrected because his behaviour needs to change. The parent should therefore focus on correcting the action rather than attacking the child himself. A child who is corrected with wisdom learns that mistakes have consequences, that boundaries exist and that he is accountable for his actions. He also learns an important quality that will benefit him throughout his life: the ability to accept correction.

Allāh Ta’ala tells us many times in the Qur’ān that those who both have belief and do good deeds will inherit Jannah. Simply saying I believe is not sufficient, rather that belief in the heart necessitates action of the limbs. After all, we will all stand before Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) with nothing except our good deeds; this is the currency of the Hereafter and it is these good deeds which will be weighed on the scales against our bad deeds. And our objective in this life is to amass as many good deeds as possible and to avoid sinning as much as possible. This is what will allow us to earn Allāh’s mercy and avoid His anger, inshāAllāh. This is our ticket to success in this life and Jannah in the next. Good deeds can be gained through acts of personal worship but also through worldly affairs; again it comes back to intention. A balanced approach should be taken – as Muslims, we do not neglect attaining success in this life, but we do it for a greater purpose. Thus we seek higher salaries in order to give more in charity, or climb the career ladder in order to increase our sphere of influence to spread divine values, and so on. Consequences of pursuing incorrect “success” Imagine you had an exam for which you revised day after day, night after night, week after week. Imagine after having revised for so long you enter the examination hall only then to realise that you had revised for the wrong exam. How regretful would you be? This is over a small exam in the dunya. Now imagine you have worked your whole, entire life and on Yawm al Qiyāma you realised you had picked up the wrong mark scheme. Your existence was wasted working towards the wrong goal. Can words describe how regretful you would be? As Muslims, we must truly understand the definition of success, because everything we work towards in life is determined thereafter. Most importantly, we must not waste our lives working solely for worldly benefit. If we work for the Hereafter, we are certain to find that not only are our worldly needs taken care of but also our Hereafter. We ask Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) to allow us to understand true success and to work tirelessly to achieve it, ameen. --- For more articles go to www.islaaminfo.org No Copyright.

THE ULTIMATE SUCCESS https://chat.whatsapp.com/Iy3vhNNgfIW4A2RvbtmKAf?s=cl&p=a&ilr=1 Everything we do in life is shaped by our definition of success. Our day to day decisions, knowingly or unknowingly, are determined by what we each believe success to be. For most of us, it is measured by one or more of three from; material wealth, fame and status. We thus find that everything from our day to day decisions all the way up to our major life decisions are measured and judged against these criteria. We need look no further than our Muslim youth to see this in effect; to see them either falling into an intense pursuit of the dunya, seeking its treasures, or finding them obsessing over celebrities, fame and status, whether through the online sphere, or gang culture and the like. As Muslims, it is imperative that we regularly refresh our understanding of success. It is this understanding that will determine our short-term and long-term goals, the overall direction we take in life and the difference between Jannah and Jahannum for us . Dear reader, understanding the reality of success is arguably the most important factor in us attaining Jannah and avoiding the Hellfire. This therefore begs the question, what is real success? Allāh, the Lord of the heavens and the earth and our Creator, repeatedly tells us what real success is in the Qur’ān. He tells us: “ And whosoever obeys Allāh and His Messenger (Muḥammad (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam)) will be admitted to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), to abide therein, and that will be the great success. ”[Quran 48:17] In another verse, “ Allāh has promised the believers — men and women, Gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein forever, and beautiful mansions in Gardens of ‘Adn (Eden Paradise). But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allāh. That is the supreme success.” [Quran 9:72] And in one more verse, out of many: “ Who is averted from (such a torment) on that Day, (Allāh) has surely been Merciful to him. And that would be the obvious success.” [Quran 6:16] Allāh Ta’ala tells us time and time again that real, tangible, true success lies in: ➡️ Attaining Paradise ➡️ The pleasure of Allāh ➡️ Avoiding the fire of Hell punishment from Allāh By this logic, everything leading to the attainment of Paradise and the pleasure of Allāh Ta’ala is itself a success and everything leading to the Hellfire and the wrath of Allāh Ta’ala is a failure. With this understanding, we should naturally look for steps to achieve true success, some of which are considered below. 1. Hereafter centricity Make the Hereafter the core focus of your life. Set your eyes on the real goal, the lofty heights of Jannah; al-Firdaus al A’la. Seek the ultimate pleasure – gazing upon Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) and prioritise your goals in line with this. For setting our eyes upon the Hereafter and pursuing it wholeheartedly is that which will reap success in this life and the next. On the authority of Zaid b. Thābit (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu): The Messenger of Allāh (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam) said, “ Whoever makes the world his most important matter, Allāh will confound his affairs and make poverty appear before his eyes and he will not get anything from the world except what has been decreed for him. Whoever makes the Hereafter his most important matter, Allāh will settle his affairs and make him content in his heart and the world will come to him although he does not want it. ”[Sunan Ibn Majah] As part of this, we must remember that we attain reward according to intention and that even mundane acts can earn reward if the intention is to please Allāh Ta’ala alone. By having a Hereafter-centric view in our daily lives and remembering Allāh Ta’ala in all actions, success can be attained through even the seemingly insignificant aspects of life. 2. Amassing good deeds

Jabir ibne-Abdullah Radiyallahu ‘anhuma narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam saying: ‘ Between man and (his entering into) polytheism and unbelief is the abandonment of Salat.’ (Muslim) Note: Scholars of Islam have offered several explanations to this hadith. One is that a person who abandons Salat becomes increasingly arrogant and bold in committing sins, which may endanger his faith. Another explanation is that the one who abandons Salat runs the risk of an evil end. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Abdullah ibne-’Amr ibnil As narrates from his father, who heard from his grandfather Radiyallahu ‘anhuma, who narrated that Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: ‘ Command your children when they are seven years old, to perform Salat; and beat them for not observing it when they are ten years old. And at this age separate their beds (i.e. do not let brothers and sisters sleep together) .’ (Abu Dawud) Note: Beating should not cause bodily harm. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, “ There is no Muslim man who attends a prescribed prayer and does wudu’ for it well and is humble in it and in its bowing, without that being expiation for the sins before it as long as he did not commit any major sin. This will always apply.” [Muslim] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ For more articles go to www.islaaminfo.org No Copyright. Please feel free to share with others.

(Abu Dawud) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu ‘anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: ‘ The five times Salat and the prayer of Friday to Friday, and the fasting of Ramadan to Ramadan, are atonements for sins that have been committed between them, provided the sinner avoids major sins. ’ (Muslim). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Abdullah ibne-’Amr Radiyallahu ‘anhuma narrates that one day, Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam mentioned Salat and said: ‘ For him who remains mindful of his Salat, it will be a light and an argument in his favour and a means of his salvation on the Day of Judgement; and for him who is not mindful of his Salat, there shall be neither a light, nor an argument in his favour, nor a means for his salvation. And on the Day of Judgement, he will be with Fir’aun, Hamãn and Ubayy ibne-Khalaf.’ (Musnad Ahmad) Note: Fir’aun was the king of Egypt at the time of Musa ‘Alaihis salam, Hamãn was his minister, and Ubayy ibne-Khalaf was an ardent idolater and adversary of Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Abu Umamah Radiyallahu ‘anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam was asked: O Rasulullah!

The doctor said cheerfully: "Congratulations, my daughter! There is nothing wrong with you. Thank God!" She was stunned with surprise. She did not know what to say. "No disease? How? You are joking, doctor!" The doctor said: "May Allah protect me, I am not joking. I have just got an apology from the analyst. He explained that there was a mix-up with the names. Your name was written instead of someone else. I have your medical report here in front of me. You are quite well. Be thankful to Allah, my daughter." Excitedly she said: "Thanks be to Allah. Thank you, doctor." She put the phone down, feeling as if she was newborn. She knew she was safe for a while, but death would certainly come one day. She had no time to waste. However long she lived, she was a guest. The first thing she did was to perform her prayer, which she had neglected for a long time. She promised Allah to obey His orders to pray, fast, and stick to wearing decent clothes. She would also give up whatever Allah had forbidden. In order not to forget this, she wrote the Qur’anic verse on a placard and hung it on the wall. On the other side she wrote a wise saying: "Repent the day before you die. Because you do not know when you will die, then always be repentant." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 For more articles go to: www.islaaminfo.org No Copyright. Please feel free to share with others.

She dialed the doctor’s number and asked eagerly: "If I travel abroad, can I find a cure?" He said: "There is nothing new abroad. It is a waste of money." She put the phone down and sat on a nearby chair. Her salary would not change matters. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ She walked through the house’s rooms as if saying her farewells. She paced the small garden and looked at the trees. She whispered: "I wish these trees knew I am leaving them, those stones, walls... I wish these doors knew my hands will soon no longer open them. I wish those flowers, that I planted and watered, knew. How often the thorns and hard stones tore my hands! How often I watered those dying flowers with my tears when there was no water. I wish they knew the meaning of my departure. These fruiting trees were tiny when I planted them. I did my best to help them flourish until they grew up healthy and fruitful. Will they know I am soon leaving? Will they remember my days in their company? What about these seats I used to rest on? Will they miss my presence? Will they be ready for someone else to settle on them? My writing desk felt my writing in tears and in smiles. Does it know I am leaving? Will it miss my pen and papers in its drawers?" ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ "I wish they all knew I am leaving. I wish I had known I was leaving, then I would not have cared so much for this life. I would not have felt proud and arrogant... Had I known I were a guest in this world, I would not have been cheated or tempted by its luxuries. Had I known this, I would have been aware that leaving a simple life is easier than leaving a luxurious one. Had I lived a simple life, I would not have found it difficult to cross from this world to the next. My family is now enjoying the party... how often I longed for such parties, how much I cared for fashion and hairstyles! Can they help me now?" Anfal threw herself down on the nearest chair as if she had realized a truth previously unknown to her. She said: "What shall I take with me? Nothing but the coffin and my deeds. What kind of deeds will go with me on my long journey? Nothing! Yes, nothing!" She remembered her friend Sarah, who used to advise her and guide her to the right path of Allah. She used to remind her of the Qur’anic verse: "…and make provision, for the provision is the guarding of oneself." (Al-Baqarah: 239) She had never considered the importance of good deeds. Now she was in need of such deeds to present to Allah. She would stand to give her account, but what would she say? How could she expect Allah’s mercy when she disobeyed His orders? How could she ask for forgiveness when she never even thought of obeying Him in her life’s affairs? She wished she had read the Holy Qur’an instead of all those cheap novels. She wished she had gained some knowledge of her religion instead of reading film-star magazines. She continued wishing she had done few things, and not done other things. She wished she had not angered this person or that, and had never lied or gossiped about anyone. She wished she had not been proud and despised the poor. She said: "I wish I could start my life all over again to make-up for my errors and to obey Allah’s orders. I worshipped my desires and ignored my Creator. I wish I could live for a while to make up for my sins." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ She remembered a Qur’anic verse her grandfather used to recite: "Until when death overtakes one of them he says: Send me back, my Lord. Haply I may do good in that which I have left. By no means! It is a mere word that he speaks, and before them is a barrier until the day they are raised." (Al-Mominoon: 99) Here she said: "Oh God, I do mean it..." Tears burst from her eyes. She cried bitterly in repentance, not pain. She decided to obey Allah in all His orders if she lived a bit longer. The phone rang and she walked towards it lazily. Tears in her eyes, she said: "Yes?" Someone said: "Can I speak to Miss Anfal?" She knew the speaker. It was her doctor. She said: "Yes, speaking."

⏳ HAD I BUT KNOWN ⌛ https://chat.whatsapp.com/Iy3vhNNgfIW4A2RvbtmKAf?s=cl&p=a&ilr=1 Anfal, a rich young girl, sat waiting impatiently at the doctor’s clinic to get the results of a medical test. She was in a hurry to attend a party and feared she might be late for her appointment with the hairdresser. She never thought the result would be anything important. It was just a precaution insisted upon by her family. She had never suffered any serious illness, apart from the odd ache in her limbs. Then, it was her turn to see the doctor. She hurried inside to get it over with as quickly as possible. She was surprised to see the doctor look sad and concerned as he asked: "Is this yours?" She answered: "No, it is my daughter’s." She wanted to know the truth and thought that perhaps he would hide the truth, if she told him it was her own. He asked her to have a seat, so she sat feeling somewhat afraid. She looked at him anxiously, as he said: "Why did you not send a man to get the results?" Anfal said: "It was on my way so there was no need to send someone else." The doctor looked sadly at her and said: "You seem to be an educated girl. You understand the nature of life." He stopped talking, and she began to tremble. She asked: "What do you mean, doctor?" The doctor said: "The result indicates that there is a blood disease." He looked down at his papers and remained silent. Anfal had to ask him to give her more information. She cried in fear: "Is it cancer?" He did not look at her, but a cloud of sadness covered his face. It was as if he was sentencing her to death. She said in a broken voice: "I am finished then." The doctor knew then that she had lied, but it was too late to hide the truth. He looked kindly at her and said: "I am sorry for you. Why did you lie? Anyway, life and death are matters within Allah’s power. Many sick people live long and many healthy ones die." Anfal felt as if she were drowning, as if a hard fist was cruelly squeezing her heart. She tried hard to regain her strength and said: "I do apologize. Thank you, doctor." The doctor encouraged her, saying: "Be strong and optimistic. Medical science is constantly progressing. Some of today’s incurable sicknesses can be cured tomorrow. I still have hope. Leave me your telephone number." She repeated the number automatically without knowing what she was saying. Feeling great shock and bitterness, she again thanked the doctor and left. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏠 AT HOME At home she kept the truth to herself. She did not know how to share it. Anyway, everyone was busy, getting ready for the party. Her mother asked: "Have you been to the doctor? Why did you not go to the hairdresser?" It was just a by-the-way question, needing no answer. She briefly said: "I am not going to the party!" She went upstairs into her room and locked the door. She stretched out on her bed fully clothed and listened to her family’s voices, as if they were coming from a far away place. The wind seemed to her to be a funeral sad tune, lamenting her approaching death. The bedroom seemed strange to her as she would be leaving it soon. What about the house? It would not remember her. She was just a guest. Others would take her room and soon forget her. She tried to cry but tears did not help. She looked around her in pain. Those curtains that she had tried so hard to get would stay after her. It would not have mattered if they had been made of the roughest fabric. She would leave them for others. She wished she had not troubled herself for such things. She wished she had saved her time and money for more useful things, which could have been helpful to her in her difficulty. She wondered: "What is useful to me?" She was young, beautiful and rich with everything her heart could desire. Could anything help her and save her from death? She had always longed for an official job with a good salary. She had it, but could it save her from death? An idea struck her. She hurried to the phone while everyone was away.

🌸 7 Benefits of Sending Blessings Upon Nabi Muhammad ﷺ Sending peace and blessings (Durood/Salaawat) upon our Nabi Muhammad ﷺ is not only highly virtuous, but something many Muslims are unfortunately not doing enough. In hopes of inspiring you to develop the great habit of consistently sending blessings upon the Messenger ﷺ, here are 7 benefits of doing so: 1️⃣ You Are Fulfilling a Command of Allah Ta'ala Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala clearly commands the believers in the Qur'an to send blessings upon Nabi Muhammad ﷺ: "Surely, Allah and His angels send blessings to the Nabi. O you who believe, do pray Allah to bless him, and send your Salām (prayer for his being in peace) to him in abundance." 📖 Qur'an 33:56 2️⃣ Your Concerns Will Be Taken Care Of Ubayy ibn Ka'b رضي الله عنه said: "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I supplicate often, so how much of my supplication should I devote to you?' He ﷺ replied, 'As you desire.' I said, 'A quarter of it?' He ﷺ said, 'As you desire, but if you were to increase upon this, it would be better for you.' I said, 'Half of it?' He ﷺ said, 'As you desire, but if you were to increase upon this, it would be better for you.' I said, 'Two-thirds of it?' He ﷺ said again, 'As you desire, but if you were to increase upon this, it would be better for you.' Finally I said, 'And if I dedicate my supplication in its entirety to you?' He ﷺ said, 'Then your needs will be satisfied, and your sins forgiven.'" 📚 (Sahih Musnad Ahmad) 3️⃣ Allah Ta'ala Will Send Blessings Upon You The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Whoever sends blessings upon me, Allah will send blessings upon him tenfold." 📚 Sahih Muslim 384 4️⃣ The Prophet ﷺ Will Receive and Return Your Greetings Abdullah ibn Mas'ood رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah has angels who go around on earth, conveying to me the Salaam of my Ummah." 📚 An-Nasa'i Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There is no one who sends Salaam upon me, but Allah will restore to me my soul so that I may return his Salaam." 📚 (Abu Dawood — Sahih) 5️⃣ Your Sins Will Be Forgiven Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever sends blessings upon me once, Allah will erase ten sins from him, and will raise him ten degrees in status." 📚 (An-Nasa'i — Sahih) 6️⃣ It Will Draw You Closer to the Messenger ﷺ Abdullah ibn Mas'ood رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The closest of people to me on the Day of Resurrection will be those who sent the most blessings upon me." 📚 At-Tirmidhi 484 Imam Nawawi رحمه الله states that "nearest to me" signifies those who are most entitled to the Prophet's ﷺ intercession. 7️⃣ It Helps Your Du'aa Get Accepted Umar ibn Al-Khattab رضي الله عنه said: "Duaa is suspended between heaven and earth and none of it is taken up until you send blessings upon your Prophet ﷺ." 📚 At-Tirmidhi ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌿 Share the Khayr The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who did it." 📚 Sahih Muslim 1893 Please feel free to share this reminder with others. 📲 Join Islaaminfo on Telegram: http://T.me/islaaminfo 🌐 More articles: www.islaaminfo.org "And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers." 📖 Qur'an 51:55 Islaaminfo

He then asked about the most learned man in the earth. He was directed to a scholar. He told him that he had killed one hundred people and asked him if there was any chance for his repentance to be accepted. He replied in the affirmative and asked, Who stands between you and repentance? Go to such and such land; there (you will find) people devoted to prayer and worship of Allah, join them in worship, and do not come back to your land because it is an evil place.’ So he went away and hardly had he covered half the distance when death overtook him; and there was a dispute between the angels of mercy and the angels of torment. The angels of mercy pleaded, ‘This man has come with a repenting heart to Allah,’ and the angels of punishment argued, ‘He never did a virtuous deed in his life.’ Then there appeared another angel in the form of a human being and the contending angels agreed to make him arbiter between them. He said, Measure the distance between the two lands. He will be considered belonging to the land to which he is nearer.’ They measured and found him closer to the land (land of piety) where he intended to go, and so the angels of mercy collected his soul ”. 📚 [Al Bukhari and Muslim] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ A REMINDER Note: This does not mean that we can continue sinning and expect to be forgiven without asking for forgiveness and trying to give up sin, as The Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, 📜 “A wise man is one who calls himself to account (and refrains from doing evil deeds) and does noble deeds that will benefit him after death, and the foolish person is one who subdues himself to his desires and hopes for forgiveness from Allah. [Riyaad us Saliheen] 🌿 We need to try to give up sinning and if we do slip and sin then we should ask Allah Ta'ala for forgiveness and give up the sin. If we are addicted to some sin then we should keep trying our best to give up, and keep asking for forgiveness for our sin, but we should never give up hope in the mercy of Allah Ta‘ala. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📢 No Copyright.

🌙✨ Losing Hope in the Mercy of Allah Ta‘ala ✨🌙 （and the story of the man who killed 99 people） 🔗 https://chat.whatsapp.com/Iy3vhNNgfIW4A2RvbtmKAf?s=cl&p=a&ilr=1 ╔══════════════════╗ 🌌 A Moment of Despair ╚══════════════════╝ She sat at the corner of her sofa gazing out her window towards the night sky. She tilted her head slowly to the right sighing. Her thoughts were deep and her eyes tired. 💭 “How many missed prayers am I still trying to make up for? How many fasts have I intentionally broken? How many arguments have I had with my parents? How many times have I lied? How many times have I backbitten? How many times have I cursed? How many times have I sinned?” 😔 Hopeless, she felt. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Many, if not all of us have experienced this moment; the overwhelming feeling that our sins are just too much, being physically and mentally exhausted and beginning to believe that not even a drop of Allah’s mercy is going to reach us. We fall into a pit of sorrow and our Iman begins to plummet, losing any sight of eventually entering Jannah through Allah’s Mercy. 💔 This is a major barrier that’s blocking many Muslims from getting closer to Allah and improving their relationship with Him. This barrier is losing hope in the mercy of Allah Ta’ala. Sometimes people think that Allah will never forgive them because of the multitude of their sins. As a result, they slacken in performing their acts of worship and some even abandon them as they lose hope in attaining the mercy of Allah. 🌿 However, Allah, The Exalted has said: 📖 “Say, ‘O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.’” (Surah Az-Zumar, Ayah 53)” ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤲 THE MERCY OF ALLAH The Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Allah the Almighty said: ,“O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask from Me, I shall pardon you for what you have done, and I wouldn’t care. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness almost as great as it.’” (Tirmidhi)” ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🕊️ Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “By Him in whose hand is my soul, if you did not sin Allah would replace you with people who would sin and they would seek the forgiveness of Allah and He would forgive them.” [Sahih Muslim] 🌱 “Every son of Adam sins, and the best of those who sin are those who repent.” [at-Tirmidhi] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌟 Allah created us all as sinners. However, the BEST of sinners are those of us who turn back to Allah each time and repent; those of us who never lose hope in His Mercy, and firmly believe that He can and will forgive us. ⚠️ (Note: this does not mean we should sin on purpose, of course!) 🤲 We need to constantly ask Allah Ta’ala for forgiveness and try and mend our ways. We should never become overconfident that Allah Ta’ala will forgive us without asking him and without trying to stop sinning. ❤️ We should also fix what wrong we have done to others, if we stole money we should return it, if we harmed anyone in any way we should ask them for forgiveness. ╔══════════════════╗ 🩸 The man that killed 99 people ╚══════════════════╝ Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wassallam) said: 📜 “There was a man from among a nation before you who killed ninety-nine people and then made an inquiry about the most learned person on the earth. He was directed to a monk. He came to him and told him that he had killed ninety-nine people and asked him if there was any chance for his repentance to be accepted. He replied in the negative and the man killed him also completing one hundred.

✨ Signs of Allah Ta‘ala in the Formation of Snowflakes ❄️ 🔗 https://chat.whatsapp.com/DxJvwERueKyJkXEhgV0BxT?s=cl&p=a&ilr=1 Anyone who takes a close look at snowflakes can see that they come in a variety of shapes. It is estimated that a single cubic meter of snow holds about 350 million snowflakes! These flakes are all hexagonal and have crystal-like structures. ❄️🔬 However, each one of them possesses a unique shape. ✨ For years, scientists have been searching for answers to such questions as how these shapes ever came about, how it is that each one of them has a different shape and what provides their symmetry. 🔬 Every bit of information that is gained reveals another magnificent mastery present in the snowflakes. The variety and perfection of the hexagonal structure of snowflakes is a manifestation of Allah’s status as the Originator (al-Badi). 🌨️✨ Allah Ta'ala is the One Who made good everything that He has created. The formation of snowflakes constitutes yet another aspect of Allah’s endless artistry. 🤍 These thin, small flakes look like multi-pointed stars or tiny needle heads. ⭐ The formation of the snowflakes in the pictures is truly amazing. For years, the orderly structure of snowflakes has caught people’s attention. Since 1945, research has been carried out in a quest to discover which factors give the final shape to the crystals. 🔬 A single snowflake is a pile of crystals consisting of more than 200 ice crystals. Snowflakes are made up of water molecules that are shaped in a perfect order. Snowflakes, one of nature’s true architectural wonders, are shaped when water vapor gets cold while passing through clouds. ☁️❄️ This takes place like so: Passing through the clouds, water molecules scattered everywhere in a disorganized way throughout water vapor begin to lose their random movement due to the fall in temperature. After a while, the water molecules, moving more slowly, begin to form groups and consequently become solid. Yet, there is no disorder whatsoever in their groupings. On the contrary, they always unite as microscopic hexagonal forms that look similar to each other. Each snowflake at first consists of a single hexagonal water molecule, then other hexagonal water molecules come and attach to this first piece. ❄️🔷 According to experts on the subject, the basic factor that determines the shape of a snowflake is that these hexagonal water molecules are joined together just like links in a chain. In addition, the pieces of crystals, which normally should look alike, take on very different shapes according to the temperature and level of moisture.(1) Why is it that there is a hexagonal symmetry in all snowflakes and why is each of them different from the others? Why are their edges angled rather then straight? Scientists are still trying to find answers to these questions. 🔬❓ Yet, this much is evident: Allah is the One Who has no partners in creation, is the Possessor of an endless power and the Originator of everything 🤲✨ [1] Roger Davey, David Stanley, "All about ice," New Scientist, September 6, 1993. --- 📚 For more articles go to www.islaaminfo.org No Copyright.

❤️ As for the final quality – not laughing excessively – then Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioned that this leads to the death of the spiritual heart. In other words, when one becomes engaged in entertainment, vain pursuits, laughing and joking with friends in trying to amuse oneself, then one becomes unmindful of Allah Ta‘ala, the Aakhirah and the obligations of Deen, and this ultimately leads to the heart becoming hard. Once the heart becomes hard and begins to spiritually die, then one no longer finds any motivation, drive or enthusiasm for good deeds, ‘ibaadah, righteousness and piety. 🌙 Hence, we should avoid getting involved in vain pursuits of amusement and entertainment, and turn our focus towards Allah Ta‘ala and the Aakhirah. In this regard, we should set aside a few moments daily to ponder over death and the stages of the Hereafter which are to come. 💎💎 The five special qualities mentioned by Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in this hadeeth are like five priceless pearls. 🤲 May Allah Ta‘ala bless us to inculcate these important qualities into our lives, aameen. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📖 For more articles go to www.islaaminfo.org 📲 No Copyright.

✨ Five Priceless Pearls ✨ 🔗 https://chat.whatsapp.com/FR2ZIAZMd0o4xxjc7QsOkP?s=cl&p=a&ilr=1 🌿 Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) once (addressed the Sahaabah [radhiyallahu ‘anhum] and) said, “Who will take these words (of advice) from me and practise upon them, or teach them to one who will practise upon them?” Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) says, “I replied, ‘I will, O Rasul of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)!’ Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) then held my hand and counted five (qualities). He said, 1️⃣ – ‘Safeguard yourself from all haraam, you will be the greatest worshipper among the people. 2️⃣ – Be pleased (and content) with that (sustenance and wealth) which Allah Ta‘ala has allotted for you, you will be the wealthiest of people. 3️⃣ – Show your neighbour kindness, you will be a (perfect) believer. 4️⃣ – Love for people that which you love for yourself, you will be a (perfect) Muslim. 5️⃣ – Do not laugh abundantly, for abundant laughter causes the death of the (spiritual) heart.’” 📚 (Sunan Tirmizi #2305) 🌸 In the blessed hadeeth mentioned above, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) encouraged the Ummah to inculcate five special qualities into their lives. 🌿 The first quality is the quality of abstaining from all haraam, evil and sin. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioned that the one who refrains from sins will be counted from among the greatest worshippers. The reason is that Allah Ta‘ala has commanded one to fulfil the commands of sharee‘ah and refrain from the prohibitions of sharee‘ah. Hence, one will become sinful through either not fulfilling the obligations of sharee‘ah, or through committing the prohibited actions. Therefore, the person who fulfils the commands of Allah Ta‘ala (e.g. he fulfils the rights of Allah Ta‘ala such as salaah, fasting, etc. and he fulfils the rights of the creation e.g. the rights of parents, children, wives, etc.) and he also refrains from sins (e.g. he protects his eyes and other limbs from sins, refrains from haraam business dealings and relationships, etc.) – then such a person will be regarded among the greatest worshippers in the sight of Allah Ta‘ala on account of him upholding the commands of Allah Ta‘ala in his life at all times. 💎 The second quality is that of contentment. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioned that the one who inculcates contentment will be the wealthiest of people. In another hadeeth, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “ Being wealthy is not attained through possessing abundant goods. Rather, being wealthy is (acquiring) the wealth of the heart (i.e. contentment). ” (Saheeh Bukhaari #6446) In the eyes of the world, a poor person is a person who does not possess enough wealth, while a wealthy person is one who possesses enough wealth. Accordingly, if a person possesses millions, far in excess of his actual needs, yet he feels that it is never enough for him due to which he continues to hanker after the world, then he will be regarded as ‘poor’, as he lacks the true wealth of contentment. On the contrary, if a person possess little wealth, but he is content with what Allah Ta‘ala has given him, then he will be regarded as ‘wealthy’, as his heart is pleased with the decree of Allah Ta‘ala at all times. Hence, Sayyiduna Sa’d (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) once advised his son saying, “ O my beloved son! When you seek wealth, then seek it with contentment, for the one who does not have contentment – no amount of money will be enough for him.” (Taareekh Ibni ‘Asaakir vol. 20, pg. 363) 🤝 The third and fourth qualities – to treat the neighbour with kindness and to love for others that which we love for ourselves – both revolve around huqooqul ‘ibaad (fulfilling the rights of the creation), as well as having a clean heart for each and every person.

🌴 The Design of the Woodpecker 🌴 https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaBaK63CxoAmzBbOex02/101 As we all know, woodpeckers build their nests by boring holes in tree trunks with their beaks. This may sound familiar to most people. But the point many people fail to examine is why woodpeckers suffer no brain haemorrhage when they beat a tattoo so vigorously with their heads. What the woodpecker does is in a way similar to a human being driving a nail into the wall with his head. If a man ventured to do something like that, he would probably undergo a brain shock followed by a brain haemorrhage. However, a woodpecker can peck a hard tree trunk 38-43 times in just two or three seconds and nothing happens to it. (1) Nothing happens because the head structure of woodpeckers is ideally created for such a task. The skull of the woodpecker has a remarkable suspension system that absorbs the force of the blows. Its forehead and some skull muscles adjoined to its beak and the jaw joint are so robust that they help lessen the effect of the forceful strokes during pecking. (2) Design and planning do not end here. Preferring primarily pine trees, woodpeckers check the age of the trees before boring a hole in them and pick those older than 100 years, because pine trees older than 100 years suffer an illness that causes the hard and thick bark to soften. This was only recently discovered by science and perhaps you may be reading of it here for the first time in your life; woodpeckers have known it for centuries. This is not the only reason why woodpeckers prefer pine trees. Woodpeckers dig cavities around their nests, the function of which was not originally understood. These cavities were later understood to protect them from a great danger. Over time, the sticky resin that leaks from the pine trees fills up the cavities and the outpost of the woodpecker’s nest is thus filled with a pool whereby woodpeckers can be protected from snakes, their greatest enemies. Another interesting feature of woodpeckers is that their tongues are thin enough to penetrate even ants’ nests in the trees. Their tongues are also sticky, which allows them to collect the ants that live there. The perfection in their creation is further revealed by the fact that their tongues have a structure which prevents them from being harmed by the acid in the bodies of the ants. (3) Woodpeckers, each of whose characteristics is discussed in a different paragraph above, prove with all their detailed features that they are ‘created’. If woodpeckers had evolved coincidentally as the theory of evolution claims, they would have died before they acquired such extraordinarily consistent traits and they would be extinct. However, as they were created by Allah Ta’ala with a special ‘design‘ adapted to their life, they started their lives by bearing all the vital characteristics. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ References (1) Grzimeks Tierleben Vögel 3, Deutscher Taschen Buch Verlag, Oktober 1993, p. 92 (2) Ibid, p. 89 (3) Ibid, pp. 87-88 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ For more articles go to www.islaaminfo.org No Copyright.
