Messages to The Believing Men and Women.

 

“Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty , That will make for greater purity for them; And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.

 

And say to the believing woman that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty, That they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veil over their bossoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband’s fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; And that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments.

And O ye Believers! Turn ye all together towards Allah swt., that ye may attain Bliss”. (An Nur: 30 – 31).

 

The believers men and women should not follow the Satan’s footsteps, otherwise they would be surrounded by shameful and wrong deeds, and were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah swt.

From the Right Bank of the Valley.

 

“Now when Musa had fulfilled the term, and was travelling with his family, he perceived a fire in the direction of Mount Thur.

He said to his family: “Tarry ye, I perceive a fire, I hope to bring you from there some Information, or a burning firebrand, that ye may warm yourselves”. (Al Qashas: 29)

 

“But when he came to the fire, a Voice was heard from the right bank of the valley, from a tree in hallowed ground: “O Musa! Verily I am Allah, the Lord of the Worlds”. (Al Qashas: 30).

 

Allah swt. had been well-acquainted any kind of Global and Universe Information; Before that which is locked up in human breasts is made manifest, before that which is in the graves is scattered abroad;Allah knows well, who is to Him ungrateful, And to that fact he bears witness by his deeds; And violent is he in his love of wealth.

 

Some of the people may be mightier in power, and the rest may be not, more flourishing in wealth or may be less, they had their enjoyment of their portion, how many disgraceful information under the sun; Surrounded by deceitful ornaments,  applaused by vivid colourful of dancing Satans, chasing away Guilty Feeling, overthrowing the TenCommandment.

Naudzubillah min dzalik !            Bandung, 8 Dzulqa’dah 1427 H.

 

 

O My Son.

 

“O my son!” (said Luqman), if there be (but) the weight  of

a mustard-seed and it were (hidden) in a rock, or (anywhere) in the heavens or on earth, Allah will bring it forth; for Allah understands the finest mysteries, (and) is well-acquainted (with them).

 

“O my son! establish Regular Prayer, enjoin what is Just, and forbid what is wrong; And bear with Patient constancy whate’er betide thee; for this is Firmness (of purpose) in (the conduct of) affairs.

 

And swell not thy cheek (for pride) at men, nor walk in insolence through the earth; for Allah loveth not any Arrogant Boaster.

And be Moderate in thy pace, and Lower thy voice; for the harshest of sounds without doubt is the braying of the ass”. (Luqman: 16 – 19).

 

There is no misfortune can happen on earth or in anyone soul, but is recorded in a decree before Allah bring it into existence;

That is truly easy for Allah swt.,

In order that people may not despair over matters that pass by; Nor exult over favours bestowed upon humanbeing; for Allah loveth not any vainglorious boaster.

Such persons as are covetous and commend covetousness to men; Verily Allah is free of all needs, Worthy of all praise.
