The issue of sectarian differences in Malaysia has been ongoing for months. Muslims have been quarrelling (some countries end up committing genocide over it) over the differences in doctrines of Islam. Have Muslims ever wondered to what end this quarrelling will bring us?
According to the Amman Message, all eight mazhab (school of thoughts), including Sunni, Shia, salafi, ibadhi, asharism and Sufism are considered Muslims and, therefore, it is forbidden to declare Muslims in the mazhab as kaffir (takifiri).

It is sad to see how the clerics and ulama could not cooperate wisely with their differences in ideology. Such a situation leaves the Muslim public in confusion over theology. You see, the great scholars of many sects did not make it compulsory to follow their teachings.
However, our ulama are more interested in the takfiri rather than making way for mutual understanding or calls for dialogue. Hence, the denial of rights for Malaysian Shias or sects other than Sunni. Surprisingly, Muslims here welcome this as it is a …continue reading at themalaysianinsider.com
A Muslim is one who says he/she is a Muslim and hopefully lives and behaves like a true Muslim. It is matter not for any “mullah” or any Government to decide this issue; this is a matter between Man and his Creator. According to one prophecy of the Holy Prophet (Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him till eternity, “Mullahs of later days would be the worse creatures on earth during the times of the Promised Messiah alaihisslam. He came and departed after delivering his message as directed by Allah.”We pray for the guidance of all mankind but it is up to God Almighty to bring about change for the better in their hearts. Ameen. Remember that there is no coercion in the religion.
There is a way to come to the right path quickly and peacefully. But it appears that the various sect people will not do that due to the bad state of their Ulema (leaders). They will get maximum damage and then return to the truth.
One Ilhaam of the promised Messiah a.s. reads as follows:
“A warner came in the world but the world did not accept him. But God will accept him and will show the truth of the warner after severly punishing (the disbelievers).”
Another meaning of a warner i.e. Nazeer, is “A prophet came in the world”.
It is described in the Quran that if people get divided into many sects, they are polytheists (Mushrikeen). How bad for those who divided Islam into many sects and every one is happy with what each has got (beliefs)! (happy to the point of calling all others as Kaafir.)
An important Hadith advises Muslims of later times to stick to the Jama’at of Muslims and their Imam. If there is no Jama’at and no Imam then muslims should go to the jungle and eat the skin of the trees and die there and they should keep away from all (many) sects.
Another Hadith is telling that in later times, like the Jews and the Christians, Muslims will be divided into 73 sects. All sects except one will be hell bound..
The Companions asked the prophet s.a.w.s. who will be that sect which will be for paradise? The Prophet s.a.w.s. replied, “It will be those people who will be on my path, my ways and the path of my companions.” (The Wahhabis (or Ahle Hadith) do not come in that good (jannati) sect because they do not walk on the path of the prophet s.a.w.s. The prophet s.a.w.s. and his companions (sahaabah) were bound together by the pledge of Bay’at. The wahhabis do not believe in any Bay’at.)
The purpose of above writing is that the people of Malasia should open their minds to the teachings of the Promised Messiah a.s. which is presenting the true teachings of Islam with love for all and hatred for none. The Jama’at Ahmadiyah Muslimah has an Imam too. The Jama’at is working for the Unity of all mankind.
have good life and respect each other
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
سم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Praise be to Allah , the Lord of the Worlds . Peace and Blessings beloved Prophet Muhammad’s noble family and companions and steadfast followers follow him until the Day of Resurrection .
Companion congregation,
Every man goes through five phases of nature, the spirit begins arised , the womb of nature , the natural world , the grave and the Hereafter.
While in the spirit world ( nature spirit ) Allah says in Surah Al- ‘ Araf verse 172 which means , ” I am not your Lord ?’ They say , ‘ but we saw . ” All spirit beings has confessed to God that they all recognize that there is no other God but Allah SWT
After being in the realm of spirit , the human spirit was revealed on earth through the womb stomach . As the hadith below :
From ‘ Abdullah bin Mas’ud r.a said :
“The Prophet s.a.w. have told us is he is a righteous man who has allowed his words , saying: ‘ That one of you is brought together in his mother’s womb for 40 days , then turned into such a clot , then turned into a flesh kind, then God sent an angel to write four sentence and ordered to write ; practice, term, provision and profit evil or good profit , then breathed his spirit … ” . ( Sahih Bukhari )
Allah swt meaning: ” And indeed We created man from ” essential ” ( the clay) ; Then We made the extract ( a drop of ) sperm in a safe lodging ; Then We made the sperm into a clot of blood clots and We created a blood clot it becomes a lump of flesh , then We created the flesh into bones, then We lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh . ; Then we developed out of it another creature condition. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators ” .
( Surah al – Mukminun verses 12-14 ) .
When a man is born in this world was the beginning of man’s responsibility to God when they reach the age of puberty. Man is born in a state of fitrah parents who will shape the child either to be Jewish , Christian, Zoroastrian or Muslim .
Prophet s.a.w. meaning: ” The child is born in a state of nature . then parents who menyahudikannya , or menasranikannya or memajusikankannya . ”
Man is born into the world is to worship Allah
Allah swt meaning: ” And I created not the jinn and mankind except to worship Me ” ( Surah are steadily verse 56 )
Once people understand that this life is to worship Allah SWT then the human hand to perform duties as a caliph on earth the earth glorify God with kindness .
Allah swt spoke about his successors criteria which means :
” Allah has promised to those among you who believe and do good works ( good deeds) , that He will make them successors in the earth , as He made those before them successors . Surely He will establish for them their religion , which was acceptable for them , and He will truly change the ( state ) they become peaceful as they fear. they will worship Me and do not associate anything with me. and whoever disbelieved after this, they are the transgressors . ” (Surat an- Nur verse 55 ) .
In this verse, Allah clearly promise to make His servants as a caliph who would dominate and lead the world . But the promise of fulfillment of His people who believe and do good deeds. Thus it can be concluded , that the other criteria of a khalifatullah is faith and good deeds .
There are 14 characteristics of good in this world God has given to believers as supplies for him to perform the functions as the vicegerent of Allah ( leaders ) in this world with the goodness of this will be to supply the two realms of the underworld and the Last Day .
The features are as follows :
1 . Getting the strength and guidance of Almighty God.
People get strength and guidance means he is assisted by God to practice Islam . Islam means safe . If Muslims remain in strength and guidance from God , will be saved in this world and the hereafter.
Rasulullah SAW said: “It was fortunate the Muslims … ” (Narrated by Muslim )
From Abu Dharr , the Prophet said, ( Hadith Qudsi ) ” Allah says : ‘ O My servants , I have forbidden myself to ats tyranny and oppression I make it unlawful to above and then let you all wrong each other.
O My servants , all of you are astray except for those who are guided me, so seek guidance from Me, I will surely provide.
O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those who receive food from Me , then seek from me would I give unto you .
O My servants, all of you are naked except those whom I gave him clothes , then ask of me I will surely give .
O My servants , all of you do wrong and mistaken all the time and I was forgiving sins , then ask forgiveness of Me , I will forgive … ‘ . ” (Narrated by Muslim )
2 . Given the understanding of religion .
Muslims need to practice understanding . Who will be the understanding of Islam is also deemed to have received the benefit of the world. Muslims are not given the understanding of Islam by Allah SWT will practice what she thought of the teachings of Islam but actually deviated from Islam . His life will not be completely safe and can not afford to save others .
Word of the Prophet means: “Whoever Allah wishes good to him , he will make it understand the religion . ” (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim )
3 . To do good deeds .
With the understanding that God gave religion , one can do good deeds. This is also good in the world because life will be filled with good things and not wobbling .
Allah says which means : ” Say: ‘ O My servants who believe , fear your Lord . Those who do good in this world get ‘ hasanah ‘ ( goodness ) . And Allah’s earth is spacious . Indeed, only the who are patient who reaches their reward without measure . ” ( Surah Az- Zumar verse 10 )
4 . Gaining beneficial knowledge .
Knowledge that is useful is the guide to fill life with good things and secure . So that means that the Prophet prayed : “O Lord my God , give me the benefit of any You have taught me and teach me anything useful for me. ” (Narrated by At- Tabarani )
Prophet Muhammad said in a hadith : ” Whoever desires , let him knowledgeable world , anyone who desires the Hereafter , let him knowledgeable and anyone who wishes both he must be knowledgeable . ”
(Narrated by Tirmidhi )
Knowledge in Islam either temporal or keakhiratan element is integrated nature (integrated ) and keeping in touch with each other . Based on this holding then life will be made to prepare for the life hereafter .
Knowledge is divided into two naqliyah knowledge (fard ayn ) based on revelation of faith, morals and sharia and knowledge akliyah ( become compulsory ) that knowledge apparently driven by the sense of acquiring worldly success and progress . Both types of knowledge are integrated to achieve a goal of the pleasure of Allah SWT.
Islam encourages its followers have as much knowledge in the search for the good life and a perfect addition to the development of society according to the principles allowed by Islam .
5 . Getting a righteous wife .
Happiness of life is the thing that all people deserve. Happiness often begins at home. Who’s got a good life partner should be grateful because that is where happiness mark . A good wife or husband also helps a person closer to Allah SWT. That’s the good in the world for him.
Word of the Prophet means: ” Four of the signs of a person’s happiness : righteous wife , sons Abrar ( pious ) , good friends and a source of sustenance in his own land . ” (Narrated by ad- Dailami from Ali r.a. )
Prophet Muhammad said which means : “The best wife is the one that can appease her when you ( the husband ) and when asked to see him in command , and he can keep his self-respect and your possessions when you are away from home . ” (Narrated Thabrani )
Prophet Muhammad said which means : ” When a wife dies and the husband down to it , he will enter Paradise. ” (Narrated by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah )
Islam has outlined the role of husband and wife exactly where the husband must be willing to administer the household and wife were to be ready to obey the orders of her husband.
Heaven is in the palm of his mother’s leg while his wife is heaven when obey her husband. Obedience here means obedience to the order and will of the husband unless the husband tells his sin. It ranked second only to obey Allah and His Messenger.
Obedience is closely associated with personality wife husband husband where power lies not in his physical strength but lies in faith, knowledge and patience. Only then leadership became more established and respected wife .
The key principle of the household is understanding between husband and wife . Thus Islam has suggested that the desire to find a wife from among the women must have four characteristics such as good descent, good looks, wealthy , and strong faith.
But that should be pursued is the righteous ( believers ) to be easy to be educated and some marital problems can be avoided as nusyuz wife and others.
Every Muslim woman should be aware of the rights outlined by Islam so as to avoid confusion in obeying the husband to be the victim of abuse by her husband not liable .
Therefore a righteous wife is covering the learned words and believing women . Thus households will always be safe and happy .
In another hadith the Prophet has said, which means : ” Four things that bring happiness of the righteous woman , spacious home , a good neighbor and a comfortable vehicle . ” (Narrated by Ibn Hibban )
But there are also people that God give good despite a couple of good or righteous living . Make their God -given reward patience in educating the patient in the face red or spouse.
6 . Get their air time.
What a cool take care when children obedient , respectful and dutiful know . Without these three things , there is no sense of accomplishment , and the high position of the pride in children. Son of righteousness ( good ) will continue to benefit us after death . Reward good practices taught our results continue to flow to us and we also receive the benefit of their prayers .
Prophet said , meaning: ” When a son of Adam dies, then cut off his practice exception of three deeds of charity , beneficial knowledge and a righteous son who prayed the prayer . ” (Narrated by Muslim )
To produce the good kids and coolers must be careful to four elements of a righteous wife ( the mother of the righteous mendidk children) , spacious home ( Susana overreach happens at home ) , good neighbors ( personal influence children) and a good vehicle ( comfort in daily life ) . Comfortable life is a life form that is welcomed by Muslims everywhere perfect life requires four elements above as the hadith of the Prophet which says:
” Four things that bring happiness of the righteous woman , spacious home , a good neighbor and a comfortable vehicle . ” (Narrated by Ibn Hibban )
Women righteous -that a good wife is also going to be a righteous mother who can manage a family and home perfectly. Spacious home that can provide comfort to mingle with families and children as well as to clear the mind and quiet .
Good neighbors because the neighbors were the most closely after relatives and family . Good neighbors to ensure communal harmony so close bond that can turn like a who are loving to their patients , and care for each other . Vehicles are comfortable as they provide facilities in all matters .
Among the bad habits that threaten the happiness of life is the life of riotous fancy , extravagant and wasteful when shopping properties .
This habit is often mentioned in the Qur’an as a source of destruction several generations before .
Luxuries of life different from one time to another age , may be a luxury in the past, is not considered a luxury these days , because of the time difference , ambience and luxury of earning a measure differed.
7 . Getting a good friends .
Prophet said , meaning: ” A person sitting ( friends ) with good and bad people are like friends with the owner of a perfume and a blacksmith . If you have not given him a perfume , you can buy them or at least be able to smell. As for friends with a blacksmith , if you do not find a body or clothes burnt , the less you can smell that bad . ” (Narrated by Bukhari from Abu Musa . )
This is also mentioned in the Hadith as a sign of happiness . A good friend asks our offense and invites us to do good . Pious or righteous companions will take us to the way of life safe . Their share of problems and failures , not just to share love and success.
The Prophet said, meaning , “Man of the most beloved of Allah are those that benefit others and practice the most favored by God is to bring joy to the people of Islam or eliminate distress or discharge of his life in the world needs to feed the hungry .
Wanderings with a Muslim brother to fulfill his wish , is dearer to me than my retreat in the mosque for a month , and those who restrain anger even if it is able to return it should please Allah will fill his heart on the day of Judgement , and anyone walking along his brothers the Muslims to fulfill his brother ‘s wish until the completion of the seeker He will set his feet ( when through on Judgement Day ) and bad manners indeed be damaging practices such as vinegar damage the honey . ” (Narrated by Ibn Abi Dunya )
Be kind and give comfort to others God will rewarded with a double reward whether in the reward , the good and happiness of this life and the hereafter.
All this will be done if a person has faith and sincerity in his heart until all the actions that he did always produce good in itself and in relation to others and the community at large .
8 . Health , well-being and leisure .
With good health , many things can be done in life . Believers are health benefits to do as much as possible before the arrival of ill goodness . Health is also often associated with well-being .
The Prophet prayed which means : ” O Allah , ‘ afiatkanlah body and my body ‘ afiatkanlah my hearing . ” (Narrated by Ibn Shaybah )
Abdullah ibn Abbas r.a. he said , the Prophet said, ” Two types of favors that most people accept the loss of the health and leisure . ” (Narrated by Bukhari )
One should take care of any health is a blessing from God , to be used by the health charity and religious practices before pain . One should not waste his free time occupation, it should be used to do all the commandments of God are acceptable .
The favors healthy and space is God attempts on humans . It should therefore be used health and free time to fight desires. Those who succeed are sure to get a win and vice versa.
9 . Longevity in obedience .
Each of us Muslims would want to grow old term benefits. As spoken by the Prophet when he asked : Who is the most good ? He replied : ” That is the length of his age and good deeds.” (Narrated by Tirmidhi and Ahmad ) .
Almost every one wants to live a long time , but those who give up on life . It is best if he did get a long life of obedience to God. Rasulullah SAW said: ” Verily , exhausted after a long life of happiness is in obeying Allah . ” (Narrated by Abdullah from his father Khotib )
The Prophet said, meaning : ” He who dies at the time that it remains obey Allah , does good, then it was raised by God to life with menyukakannya conditions , and those who die at the time it was in defiance of God , to do evil, then it switched back to the condition exclusion . ” (Narrated Jabir r.a. )
10. Getting food is halal.
Prophet Muhammad emphasized that Muslims seek halal food because it will memberkatkan life. In one hadith , he says that it may seek a legitimate jihad. Even saying: ” Practice is the key seek his lawful business . ” (Narrated by al -Hakim )
From Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Ash r.a. he said , meaning the Prophet said : “It was very successful who are Muslim ( surrender ) and it was enough to what is not unreasonable given the fortune of God and what He has given him. ” (Narrated by Muslim )
Prophet Muhammad advised us to look to the person below . Do not see the person at the top ( more fortunate ) because they will make us be thankful. But that’s the problem that occurred in each of us. Always pursue better opportunities . Always want more . But this does not prove that we can not pursue the better. Subsistence rights and belong to God . Then to the Possessor bermohonlah livelihood because no provision for us without the consent of his .
11 . Have faith and piety .
With faith and piety , one noble in the sight of God and in the sight of men. Who does not love the glory ? Word of the Prophet means: ” the most honorable man is the most righteous of you . ” (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim )
He also said which means : “Be cautious, because it includes all the advantages . ” (Narrated by Abu Ya’ala )
The Holy Prophet again which means , “God be merciful to piety , rich soul and do not present themselves ( even high-ranking humble ) . ” (Narrated by Muslim )
The meaning here is rich rich rich soul not the property as stated in the hadith . Three things that when done by someone then it is loved by God : 1.Bertakwa , 2 . rich soul ( moral ) and 3 . profile.
Every Muslim should constantly improve itself from time to time by embedding the above three properties in stages . Islam urges its followers to remain conscious of God and have the properties of a noble and courteous , do not be arrogant , ego and so that can drop and lower prestige and glory of the man himself .
12 . Many of the remembrance of Allah SWT.
The greatest human pleasures are looking for in life is the blessing of tranquility. The believer is a person whose life is full of peace .
His words : ” … those who believe and whose hearts are to be at peace in the remembrance of Allah . Indeed, only by remembering Allah , the hearts will be quiet (quiet) . ” ( Surah Ar- Ra’ad , verse 28 )
Word of the Prophet means: “I would like to remind you all to remember God , because it can entertain your hearts from all earthly trouble . ” (Narrated by ad- Dailami )
Prophet Muhammad said in a hadith : ” Seven kinds of people who will be protected by Allah in the shade on a day no shade except that of God’s protection : Imam ( leader ) of the fair , young worshipers of Allah , men whose hearts are always hooked mosque , two people who love each other for Allah in which both assemble and part of God , a man who is invited by a handsome and noble women to commit adultery : and he answered , ” I fear Allah ” , one of the charity with a charity and hid his charity to his left hand does not know what is spent by the right hand , a person who remembers Allah in a quiet and flowing tears. ” (Narrated by At- Tirmidhi )
People who love God with a sincere heart will always feel the majesty and greatness of God. So at the moment it will be out of meditating on God’s tears of yearning and awakening in him .
In another narration , the Prophet said which means : “The sign of love for God is Allah swt ( remembrance of Allah ) and signs of Allah is angry with his servants he did not like the remembrance of Allah . ” (Narrated by Baihaqi )
The special feature of creed that must be in each individual is feeling the love of God as it is the most important measure in assessing the quality of a true faith of a Muslim .
Some of their properties are always very happy when the remembrance of Allah , those many chanting, prayer , reading the Quran and so instead of people who do not love God , he felt bored and restless when you hear His words to the remembrance of Allah and lazy (remembrance of Allah ) nowhere to worship.
Indeed, those who always remember Allah ( in the present tense and in bad times ) will get the care of God for his life to be controlled and guided , the way his life has always been peaceful and safe .
And those who neglect the remembrance of Allah , his life will be found empty , frustrated and disappointed .
13 . Successfully purify the soul from mazmumah .
Life will not be quiet if the heart is full of envy , greed , fear , hatred, lament and other mazmumah nature . No wonder it is said , those who purify their hearts from mazmumah nature is the person who gets the benefit of the world. When the face of misfortune, he patiently and good of God.
For example, if there are people annoyed by the rain in the rain ‘ not needed ‘ , he always find a reason behind this . When can delight , she thanks. His heart never lament . Allah says , meaning: ” Truly successful and prosper who purify ( clean ) his soul . ” ( Surah Al – A’la , v. 14)
14. Dead in the pros ( Husnul Khotimah ) .
This is the cover of the goodness in the world. Allah says : ” …. Thus does Allah reward those who do right , (and) the people who are disabled in good condition by the angels to say ( to them): Salamun ‘ Alaikum . ” (Surat an- Nahl , verse 32 )
Rasulullah SAW its meaning : “The best practice is that you break up with this world when a wet tongue in remembrance of Allah . ” (Narrated by Abu Na’im )
The scholars who work with knowledge to see things with eyes. Therefore, the list of good in the world that they have revealed above, no favors shaped things purely corporeal . For example, they do not say that there is goodness in the world in a big house , standing tall, beautiful wife , money abundance, popular name , luxury vehicles and others that often we rush today. All this is not in the list of the scholars. Means , get all the no means a real benefit .
Good in the world is actually owned slaves obey God – are more concerned with the next slave in the world. In Surat an- Nahl, verse 122 it is stated that God has bestowed upon Abraham hasanah (benefit ) on the life of the world .
This verse is the evidence that there is good will on the world which God gave to His servants required . While prioritizing hereafter , God will precede all kinds of advantages for them in another world . And all the virtues that are beneficial to their afterlife .
Allah swt meaning: ” And of mankind are some who say: ‘ Our Lord, Give us (Thy bounties) in this world ‘ , and in the Hereafter he did not receive a share of anything. And among them are some who say: ‘ Our Lord , give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of the Fire . ”
( Surah al -Baqarah verses 200-201 )
Beloved friends,
Let us together make the good life in this world to achieve happiness in the hereafter . We do not want to be happy alone in the world , because the real life and the life hereafter enter heaven.
