The Beautiful Names of Allah

  

'Allah has the most beautiful names. Call Him by those names. So call upon Him by them, and keep away from those who abuse His Names. They will pay (i.e. be punished) for what they do.' (Al-Arraf, 7: 181)

Allah says in the Quran that He is One. He is the only God, the sole Creator of everything He has created, and there are no other gods besides Him, nor does anyone have the power to create like He does. He exists, and no one created Him. He is unique, the Originator of all. And Allah says that He has many names, attributes that describe what He is like – Asma’ul-Husna – the most beautiful names.

The Satans don’t hold Power

 

The Signs of Qiyamah- 7

'Do you not see that We have sent the satans upon the disbelievers to incite them (further) with all their incitements? So do not be in haste against them, for indeed We are counting down their days. The day We will assemble the God-fearing before the Most Gracious as (an honoured) delegation, and drive the sinful like a thirsty herd into Hell.' (Surah Maryam, 19: 84-87)

 

Life after death will be a reckoning. This is a certainty. There is no doubt about it.

'Doomsday'

The Signs of Qiyamah- 6 

'I swear by the Day of Resurrection! And I do swear by the self-reproaching soul! Do people think We cannot reassemble their bones? Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers. But man wishes to go on violating Allah’s injunctions (even in future) ahead of him.' (Al-Qiyaamah 75: 2-6)

 

It is by the wisdom of Allah that man was created. The universe was created, and the system of habitation for man on earth was established so that Allah’s beloved creation could learn to find their way on this earth and seek Him, Allah, their Creator. With the intelligence that Allah endowed the new Adam, our common ancestor, we have seen how Allah sought to protect the human race so that it would not fall into Satan’s traps. Where there is light, there is also darkness. While darkness is a blessing from Allah for mankind to find rest, it is also the ideal time for Satan to carry out his work.

 

Allah created man to worship Him alone, without associating anyone with Him. All the souls that Allah created from His divine breath, and which He decreed to be born from the creation of the first Adam until the Day of Judgement, have all received guidance to show them the path to Allah. This guidance, the guides of Allah, are the prophets and messengers of Allah, and in times when there are no prophets and messengers, it is the reformers and pious people who carry out this work, guiding their people towards the worship of Allah alone, without associating anyone with Him.

Dishonesty & Corruption

 

The Signs of Qiyamah- 5

“Do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly, nor deliberately bribe authorities in order to devour a portion of others’ property, knowing that it is a sin.” (Al-Baqara 2: 189)

 

As we observe the current times, we are living in societies where corruption has infiltrated every sector. In the context of the signs of the Hour, we see that what our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) foretold is manifesting more frequently and in greater numbers than before.

 

In a Hadith reported by Hazrat Abu Huraira (ra) and recorded in Sahih Bukhari, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour (As-Sa’at).” He (pbuh) was asked: “How will honesty be lost, O Messenger of Allah?” He (pbuh) replied: “When authority is given to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour (As-Sa’at).”
