Assalam o Alleyykum

[Peace be Upon You]

In this scientific age the concept of Allah has become controversial i.e.:

• does Allah exist?
  

• if He (SWT) exists then has He (SWT) created this universe?
  

• If He (SWT) has created this universe then does He (SWT) has any control over it?
  

• If He (SWT) exists then what is His (SWT) source of origin? That is to say is there any starting point?
  

• If He (SWT) exists then is there any end to His (SWT) existence i.e. Nauz Billah He (SWT) will pass away?
  

• etc.
  

Brothers and Sisters! This website: www.cfpibadaahs.co.uk is devoted for Ibadaahs only i.e. to develop spiritual contact with Allah so that one can get closer to Allah. Alhamdu’lillah! The aspect of Existence of Allah has been dealt with under option: Allah Exists on website: www.cfpislam.co.uk.

Brothers and Sisters! On the basis that Allah is Lone Entity and is in existence Azal (Azal is the point of time which has no beginning and is termed as Day One) human heart and mind has to believe:

• Allah is Creator
  

• Allah is Powerful
  

• Allah is Aleem (Knower of everything from Day One to infinity)
  

• Allah is Seer
  

• Allah is Listener
  

• Allah is Merciful
  

• Allah is Judge
  

• Allah is Just
  

• Allah is Provider
  

• Etc.
  

Brothers and Sisters! As Allah is Lone Entity and He (SWT) possesses all the above attributes but there was no one who could appreciate His (SWT) attributes and also utilize His (SWT) Powers. The context of Hadith e Qudsi is where Allah told Khatim ul Anbiyya (SAW) to the effect:

I was a hidden Treasure.

I wished to be recognized.

So I created Jinn and Inss.

(Spirits and Mankind)

Brothers and Sisters! In short, Allah created Angels. But they were too obedient. Then Allah created Jinn’at (Spirits). There were too mischievous. Then Allah created mankind who could be obedient or mischievous i.e. he was given an option that he can be obedient to Allah or mischievous.

Brothers and Sisters! Mankind is viceroy of Allah.

Brothers and Sisters! It is natural phenomenon that viceroy should also possess the attributes of his Principal. Therefore, Allah devised such Way of Life i.e. performance of Ibadaahs which can get one closer to Allah where he will be able to develop the same attributes which Allah possesses.

Brothers and Sisters! The Ibadaahs which can get closer to Allah are:

• As Salat
  

• Zakat
  

• Soam
  

• Hajj
  

Brothers and Sisters! Let us look at the inside of the above Ibadaahs as how these can get closer to Allah.

AS SALAT

Brothers and Sisters! In short, As Salat is divided in two parts:

• Performance of Salat
  

• Iqamat As Salat
  

Performance of Salat

Brothers and Sisters! In short, performance of Salat is learning process of the Guidance of Allah i.e. Qur’an and Teachings of Anbiyya e Karam i.e. elaboration of the Qur’an.

How?

Brothers and Sisters! While offering Salat five times a day a Muslim recites Qur’an. The idea behind recitation of the Qur’an while offering Salat that it is not possible to learn the context and substance of the Verses of the Qur’an. So after performance of Salat one can read the translation of the Qur’an, elaboration of the Qur’an and other religious books which are in fact elaboration of Qur’an
and Hadith. Brothers and Sisters! The learning process of Qur’an and Hadith is termed as ‘Education’.

Iqamat as Salat

Brothers and Sisters! Iqamat as Salat means to put the Guidance of Allah and Teachings of Anbiyya e Karam into practice.

Brothers and Sisters! In other words expending day to day life as per the teachings of Qur’an and Hadith is Iqamat as Salat.

Conclusion

Brothers and Sisters! As Salat will get closer to Allah as Muslims will be first learning teachings of Qur’an and Hadith and then putting those teachings into practice. In this way one is in state of Salat all the time i.e. either he is learning or he is putting into practice.

Brothers and Sisters! Performance of Salat and Iqamat as Salat are forms of submission to Allah and this is the object of creation of mankind which is revealed in the Qur’an:

Translation Surah Adh Dhariyat Ayat no 56

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

An I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should submit to Me (Alone)

Brothers and Sisters! Please read option As Salat on this website where Insha’allah (Allah Willing) you will learn how to perform Salat and Iqamat as Salat.

ZAKAT

Brothers and Sisters! Allah is Provider of everything from His (SWT) unseen treasures to mankind. In other words Allah is generous.

Brothers and Sisters! The idea behind essential of Zakat is that the mankind develops the virtue of being a provider on the footsteps of Allah which will build up the virtue of generosity in his heart and mind that will get him closer to Allah.

Brothers and Sisters! In the Qur’an wherever there is mention of Salat there is also mention of payment of Zakat.

Brothers and Sisters! Please read option: Zakat on this website to learn how Zakat can get closer to Allah.

SOAM

Brothers and Sisters! The object of essential of Soam is to be patient. Allah also has the virtue of being patient in the sense that when mankind opposes His (SWT) Guidance He (SWT) still keeps on providing His (SWT) Bounties.

Brothers and Sisters! Please read option: Soam on this website to learn the rewards of being patient.

HAJJ

Brothers and Sisters! At Makkah is Saudi Arabia Muslims all over the world gather to perform essential of Hajj. The idea behind performance of Hajj is to unite mankind and introduce, revive and promote Deen e Islam.

Brothers and Sisters! As people gather from all over the world then there are different culture and civilizations but everyone’s goal is get closer to Allah which means that they should unite irrespective of different culture and civilizations. Moreover, Allah rewards the people of being united that He (SWT) forgives all their sins and they become like a new born baby.

Brothers and Sisters! Please read option: Hajj on this website and learn how one can get closer to Allah and earn rewards of forgiveness of sins and becoming like a new born baby.

CONCLUSION

Brothers and Sisters! Allah is Lone Entity whether one believes it or not. One of the objects of sending mankind in this world is to recognize Allah and Allah can be recognized only by the observation of His (SWT) creations. Allah is Nur
(Light) which Allah has revealed in the Qur’an:

Translation Surah An-Nur Ayat no 35

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

Allah is the Nur (Light) of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His light is as (if there were) a niche and within it a lamp; the lamp is in a glass , the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive , neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets rays only in the morning) nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sun-rays only in the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long), whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allah Guides to His light whom He Wills. And Allah sets forth parables for mankind, and Allah is All-Knower of everything.

Brothers and Sisters! Please read link: No 1 Base of Success under option: Articles on this website to learn about the Lone Entity of Allah that how a human eye cannot see Him (SAW) but feel His (SWT) presence as He (SWT) is closer than his Jugular vein.

May Allah be with You
