Muslims.

I just wanted to start with saying that I am a Muslim and I am proud. By this, you would've known what i am going to write about. Let me just start by saying who a Muslim is. A Muslim is someone believes in Allah. A Muslim is someone who Bears witness that None has the right to be worshiped but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. A Muslim can be of any background, race, country and gender. Muslim is an Arabic word meaning 'one who submits to God'. If you want to know know, just search it online or go to Wikipedia.

Anyway, this topic didn't come out of nowhere, i was on Facebook and there's some pages people made and one of them was 'Teen swag', i was looking through my newsfeed and i saw something which was really hurtful and was so rude. it was posted by 'teen swag' and the thing that was written was: ' Did Muslims caused the attack on 9/11? Yes or No?' I saw that and instantly I replied and said how can she say stuff like that, what harm did we do to her, we just want peace, we don't go saying stuff about her religion like that. i know people reading this will not be all Muslims. It's just that it is hurtful to hear that. Me as a Muslim, never said anything hurtful about another's religion so why did she? i'm just thinking that since she said that, many other people might think like that as well but why? It isn't just about the post now, its about people hating on Muslims for no reason. So many innocent Muslims are dying all over the world. Why?  Let me show you something:



This was posted in Facebook by ZaidAliT. I found two videos, and i feel like i should show it because it's all true and i want people who aren't Muslims especially to see it because i feel like this will help. There are more videos and i would like it if non-Muslims saw it, you just have to go to YouTube and write 'Dr Zakir Naik' or you can search him up. He answered so many questions related with religion. I think i will end it there. there are so many things people say about Muslims yet we don't do anything. Are Muslims really terrorists? Just because one individual Muslim does something, you cant think every one of them does it can you? It's like saying if one christian killed someone, all the Christians are killers. (Its an example, i don't mean to offend Christians.) 

Paradise lies at the feet of your mother.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said in a famous narration:

'Paradise lies at the feet of your mother' [Musnad Ahmad, Sunan An-Nasâ’i, Sunan Ibn Mâjah]

In this well-loved hadith, the Prophet (PBUH) is reported to have said, "Paradise lies at the feet of mothers." This means that we gain admission to Jannah (Heaven) through the treatment we give to our mothers. We can also be denied admission through mistreatment of mothers. It is said that no person will ever be granted access to Paradise if his mother died while angry with him. Now, obviously, there are many other factors that determine whether or not a person will ever see Jannah. This hadith simply shows the importance of being kind to our mothers.

When you have been blessed with a loving, nurturing mom, you should celebrate her every day. Do not wait for a circle on your calendar. A true mother is a divine gift and should be treated as such year-round.

Our final destination is the life of the Hereafter where we end up, Jannah (Paradise) or Jahannam (Hell-fire) depends on what we worked towards in this life. Paradise is the aim and the hope of every Muslim. But like trying to attain any goal, in order to achieve success, one must have a well-defined plan, and it must be implemented to be successful.

Allah says,

'O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) Allah and seek means of nearness to Him and strive hard in His way that you may be successful.' [5:35]

To prepare for our journey, we need to find out what our destination is like; who are its people, and most importantly, how to get there.

The Prophet (SAW) told us that within 'Paradise are things that no eyes have ever seen, nor ears have ever heard, and that things in it are beyond our imagination and comprehension', but we all have our own personal ideas of what eternal bliss would probably be like. For me, i want to be a vampire. I'm serious and i want to eat without getting fat and i shouldn't be fat or too skinny. :)

 Some Description in the Qur'an of Paradise

"The description of Paradise which the Muttaqoon have been promised is that in it are rivers of water, the taste and smell of which are never changed. Rivers of milk the taste of which will remain unchanged. Rivers of wine that will be delicious to those who drink from it and rivers of clear, pure honey. For them will be every kind of fruit and forgiveness form their Lord." [ 47:15]

"And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient. Reclining on raised thrones, they will see there neither the excessive heat of the sun, nor the excessive bitter cold, (as in Paradise there is no sun and no moon). The shade will be close upon them, and bunches of fruit will hang low within their reach. Vessels of silver and cups of crystal will be passed around amongst them, crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure of them according to their wishes. They will be given a cup (of wine) mixed with Zanjabeel, and a fountain called Salsabeel. Around them will (serve) boys of perpetual youth. If you see them, you would think they are scattered pearls. When you look there (in Paradise) you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a Great Dominion. Their garments will be of fine green silk and gold embroidery. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a pure drink." [76:12-21]
