Allah (Allah (God))

Knowledge of Allah (God) and belief in Him constitute the very foundation of Islam. The question of Allah (God)’ s existence has preoccupied the great minds for many centuries. Those who believe in Allah (God) seem to agree that the limited finite human intelligence cannot prove the existence of the infinite Boundless Allah (God) Who is. It can only illustrate or demonstrate His existence to the satisfaction of the curious human mind. Those who deny Allah (God) claim to rely on science, philosophy, or special theories of knowledge. Their arguments are sometimes inapplicable, sometimes irrelevant, always complex, and often incomprehensible. However, the developed free mind will find its way to Allah (God). Failure to find the way does not mean that there is no way. Denial of reality does not make it unreal.

There are individuals who like to doubt the concept of Allah (God) in the name of science, or because of a lack of experience and understanding. The attitude of such people reflects an uneasy mentality, although they claim to be learned intellectuals. Another consideration here is that the concept of Allah (God) in Islam is distorted in the minds of many non-Muslims who are so-called believers in Allah (God) and advocates of religion.

As we look around in our environments, we see that every family has a head; every school has a principal; every city or town has a mayor; every province state has a premier governor; and every nation has a head of state. Moreover, we know beyond doubt that every product is the work of a certain producer, and that every beautiful art is the creation of some great artist. All this is obvious, yet it does not satisfy the hunger for knowledge and the curiosity of man about the great things in the world. One often wonders at the beauties of nature with its scenic charms and marvels; the almost endless horizon in the sky and their far-reaching expansions; the ceaseless succession of day and night in the most orderly manner; the course of the sun, the moon, and the great stars; the world of animate and inanimate objects, the continuous process and evolution of man generation after generation. One often wonders because one would like to know the maker and maintainer of all these things with which we live and which we immensely enjoy.

The Love of Allah (God) for His creatures is immense and beyond human imagination. We cannot measure or count His favours. He creates us and takes good care of us, not only from the time of our birth onward, but even long before that. He makes us in the best form of creation and gives us all the senses and faculties that we need for our growth. He helps us when we cannot help ourselves, and provides for us and for our dependents. He creates in man the mind to understand, the soul and conscience to be good and righteous, the feelings and sentiments to kind and humane.

It is Allah (God) Who has subjected the sea to you, that ships may sail through it by His command, that you may seek of His Bounty, and that you may be grateful. And He has subjected to you, as from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth, Behold; in that there are Signs indeed for those who reflect (Qur’ an, 45:12-13).

Commence by saying, Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. The hands should be washed upto the wrists three times. Thereafter, rinse the mouth three times and use a miswaak. If there is no miswaak, a thick cloth or even the fore-finger could be used so that all the dirt is removed. If the person is not fasting, he should gargle the mouth thoroughly. However, if he is fasting, he should not gargle thoroughly because there is a possibility that water will go down the throat. Thereafter, rinse the nose three times and clean it with the left hand. However, the fasting person should not allow the water to go beyond the soft-bone of the nose.

Wash the face three times: from the hair-line till below the chin, and from one ear-lobe to the other. Water must reach all these places. Water must also reach below the eye brows - no place should remain dry. Wash the right hand upto and including the elbows. Thereafter wash the left hand upto and including the elbows.

Make khilaal of the fingers. That is, pass the fingers of one hand through the fingers of the other hand. If there is a ring or any such jewellery on the fingers, it should be removed so that no part is left dry.

Thereafter make masah of the head (passing wet hands over the head).. Make masah of the ears by inserting the forefingers into the ears and making masah of the back of the ear-lobes with the thumb of each hand. Make masah of the neck with the back of the fingers of both hands. However, masah of the fore-neck/throat should not be made as this is prohibited.

Fresh water need not be used for making masah of the ears. Whatever water is left over after making masah of the head will be sufficient.

Thereafter wash the right foot upto and including the ankles. Do the same for the left foot. Make khilaal of the toes of the feet with the little finger of the left hand. When making khilaal, commence with the little toe of the right foot and end with the little toe of the left foot.

This is the correct method of Making Wudu.

She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!”

The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out of the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought the box back in the house.

She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

The annual Dawah and Tableegh Ijtima of South Africa took place in April 2012, 6 to 9th in Azaadville, Gauteng. An Ijtima is a gathering where Muslims are encouraged to attend to listen to spiritual talks focusing on self-reformation, strengthening of the Imaan (Faith), correcting of the Yaqeen (Conviction in Allah) and the importance of continuing this effort of the Ambiya Alaihi Salaam. Those that attend are encouraged to sacrifice a little of their time, health and wealth to strive in the path of Allah Ta’aala… In this podcast Ml Abbaas Ali Zubair Ali, a senior Aalim residing in Springs; South Africa, gave a report back from the Ijtima and imparted some of the advices that were presented. Moulana Saheb also described the first few Ijtimas that took place in South Africa in the sixties when he was just a young boy. This is part 1 of 2… Listen
