HOW THE DEVIL SYAITAN DECEIVE MEN AND HOW MEN CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DEVIL SYAITAN
There are many non-Muslims who are actively involved in charitable organizations in this world as compared to Muslims. Since there are very few Muslims who are believers in this world and also active in charitable activities, so accordingly there are hardly any Muslims in this world who are very rich. There are very few charitable organizations in this world which are lead by Muslims. Muslims will be rewarded by Allah in this world and the hereafter only when the charitable activities are done with sincerity. When the charitable activities are not sincere, the Muslims will not be rewarded either in this world or in the hereafter. However, most Muslims are poor. There is no one who makes the Muslims to become poor except Allah. Allah has made Muslims to become poor because of their own bad actions and not because they are Muslims. Syaitan deceive Muslims into the belief that they are poor because they were Muslims. Syaitan deceive the Muslims by telling them that Allah makes the non-Muslims rich because Allah loves the non-Muslims. In case you want to become rich the syaitan will persuade the Muslims to become non-Muslims. In this way syaitan are trying to persuade the Muslims to leave Islam and become non-Muslim.
Syaitan will make the Muslims to believe that to be Muslims means to become poor. Syaitan will make the Muslims to believe that to become poor is a virtue. Many Muslims scholars teach the Muslims that to become poor is a virtue and that even the Prophet Muhammad saw was poor. Many Muslims believe that Allah made the believers to become poor and when a person is not poor then that person cannot be a believer or the lover of Allah. Many Muslims believe that the more iman a person has the poorer he will become. All the stories of the so call the lover of Allah is portrayed by the Muslims scholars as poor and destitute. Many members of Jemaah Tabligh believe that Dr Nasoha will become rich after Dr Nasoha leave Jemaah Tabligh because when Dr Nasoha leaves Jemaah Tabligh he will have no iman and no good amals. According to the belief of many Muslims and that of Jemaah Tabligh that a Muslims will only become rich when they have no iman and no good actions.
Many in Jemaah Tabligh believe that the iman and the amal of Dr Nasoha was strong when he was with Jemaah Tabligh and because of that Dr Nasoha used to be relatively poor. When Dr Nasoha leaves the work of Jemaah Tabligh the iman and the amal of Dr Nasoha have become weak and when the iman and the amal of Dr Nasoha become weak Dr Nasoha will become a rich person. This is the reason why Jemaah Tabligh believes that Dr Nasoha will become a rich person after leaving the work of Jemaah Tabligh. Many Muslims believe to be poor is a virtue because Prophet Muhammad saw is also a poor person. Is it true to be poor is a virtue? Is it true that Allah will make the believers to become poor? Allah promise to those who believe and have good actions that Allah will makes them to become rich and powerful in this world. To be poor is a sign of virtue is the teaching of syaitan and Iblis. Iblis wanted to prevent Muslims from obeying the order of Allah and to become non-Muslims. What is the meaning of the verse of the Quran in which Allah says with approximate meaning that Allah will make those who believe and have good actions to have a good life in this world and the hereafter? What is the meaning of having a good life in this world? Does to have a good life in this world mean to become poor? Or does it mean to have all the good things in the life of this world? Allah loves the believers and Allah loves those who believe and have good actions. When Allah loves someone, Allah will give him or her not only wealth but also power and health in this world. Allah will also give to those whom Allah loves the understanding of Quran, the ability to obey all the orders of Allah as Allah wishes, peace of mind, happiness and tranquility in this world. Allah says in the Hadis of Qudsi with the approximate meaning; Make Me as the objective of your life, make Me as the purpose of your life and make Me as your lover and when you obtain Me as your objective, purpose and lover, you will have everything. It is wrong to believe that Allah will make those who believe and do good actions to become poor and weak in this world. It is the teaching of syaitan and Iblis that good and pious Muslims will become poor in this world.
Allah does not love the non-Muslims. Iblis makes the Muslims with weak iman to believe that Allah loves the non-Muslims because we see Allah makes many of the non-Muslims to be rich in this world. Allah makes many of the charitable non-Muslims to become very rich because Allah wants to reward the charitable non-Muslims in this world since they will have nothing in the hereafter. Allah does not make all non-Muslims in this world to be rich. Allah gives to the charitable non-Muslims the reward of material wealth in this world but the material wealth which are given to them will not become the means of bringing peace and tranquility.
Allah has made our Prophet Muhammad saw to become poor not because Allah did not love him but because our Prophet Muhammad saw had asked Allah to make him poor. Among all the creation of Allah, Allah love Prophet Muhammad saw the most. Allah loves Prophet Muhammad and Allah will do whatever Prophet Muhammad wishes in this world. Prophet Muhammad saw was poor because he wanted to become poor so that he can be easily followed by all of his followers. Prophet Muhammad saw wanted the whole of his ummat to be able to follow him and when he is poor, even the poor among his ummat can still follow him. If he is rich, only the rich from among his ummat will be able to follow him but not the poor. Prophet Muhammad saw wanted all of his ummat whether they are poor or rich to follow him because when they follow him all of his ummat will be successful in this world and the hereafter.
Prophet Muhammad saw had the choice to be rich and powerful if he wishes. Allah will certainly grant the wishes of His Prophet saw. Prophet Muhammad saw used to say to his wife with approximate meaning; In case I want to become rich, Allah will makes for me the mountains of Uhud to become gold and Allah will make the mountain gold of Uhud to follow me. We are not prophet of Allah and we have no necessity to make doa to Allah to become poor. We have no one to follow us because we are not Prophet of Allah. In this world there should not be anyone to be followed blindly except Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw and those who follow Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw. I think it is normal for all human beings wishing to become rich in this world. Prophet Muhammad saw is the Prophet of Allah and all men are required by Allah to follow him in case men wanted to become successful. Other than Prophet Muhammad saw I think it is abnormal for any normal men to ask Allah to become poor. It is the Sunnah only for Prophet Muhammad saw and it is not the Sunnah for the followers of the Prophet Muhammad saw. Similarly it is the Sunnah only for Prophet Muhammad saw to marry more than 4 wives whereas all of his ummat are only allowed by Allah at one time to marry the maximum 4 wives.
Allah is the one who makes us poor and Allah is the one who makes us rich. Allah wants to see in the time when we are rich and in the time when we are poor, can we still obey the orders of Allah or not? When we can obey the first order of Allah and all the other orders of Allah in all situations and circumstances, Allah will makes us successful. When we are not doing the first order of Allah, the love of other than Allah will automatically enter into our hearts. When we have the desire to have other than Allah inside our hearts, the devil syaitan will easily deviate us from the correct path. Almost all Muslims in the whole world are not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah. Muslims have misunderstood the first order of Allah. Some Muslims scholars understood the first order of Allah is to learn about Islam. They arrived at this understanding because the first verse of the Quran revealed to Prophet Muhammad saw is about reading the verses of Quran. They interpreted the verse as the order to have knowledge or ilmu. Some Muslims scholars understand that the first order of Allah is to perform the five times daily solat. In the five Pillar of Islam the first order of Allah is not about knowledge or performing the five times daily prayers but the first order of Allah is reciting the Great Kalimah; I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad saw is the Prophet of Allah.
Since more than one thousand years ago Muslims have understood that the first order of Allah is only to recite the Great Kalimah. Until today all the Muslims think and believe that the first order of Allah is only to recite the Great Kalimah and there is no work or responsibility associated with the recitation of the Great Kalimah. Since the first book written by the Muslim scholars about Islam, it was written that the first order of Allah is only to recite the Great Kalimah. Other books on Islam which were written after just followed exactly the first book on Islam. In this way all the books that were written until today write that the first pillar of Islam is to only recite the Great Kalimah. Until today in all books written about Islam stated that the first order of Allah is only to recite the Great Kalimah. When Muslims understood that the first order of Allah is only to recite the Great Kalimah, all Muslims all over the world since more than one thousand years ago was not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah. What is the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah? It is the work to invite the whole mankind to good and to prevent the whole mankind from evils. In my opinion, when Muslims since more than one thousand years ago are not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah, it is not difficult to understand that almost all the Muslims in this world are not having the Great Kalimah in their hearts.
We are Muslims but our desire is still to have other than Allah. When Muslims have the desire to have other than Allah in their hearts, Muslims are easily deceived by the devil syaitan. The first thing the syaitan deceive the Muslims is to prevent Muslims from doing the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah or the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. When Muslims are not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah, the iman of all the Muslims in the whole world will become weak. With weak iman, Muslims will be easily deceived by the syaitan to follow their own desire and the wrong paths. Prophet Muhammad saw had said with approximate meaning; after his death, his ummat shall be divided into seventy three groups and except for only one group the other seventy two groups are following the wrong paths, the paths of the devil syaitan. Only one group out of the seventy three groups is following the correct path. Which group is following the correct path? Although all groups claim that they are in the correct path but the group which follows the Quran and the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw is the group which is on the correct path. What is the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw? The Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw is the path of inviting men to Allah. What is meant by inviting men to Allah? it is to invite men to good and to forbid men from evils which is the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah.
Prophet Muhammad saw in Arafah after the last pilgrimage in his last sermon had advised the Muslims to follow the Quran and the Sunnah. Prophet Muhammad saw had warned Muslims to hold firm to the Quran and the Sunnah or otherwise they will be deceived by Iblis and the devil syaitan. What is the greatest Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw? The greatest Sunnah of the Prophet saw is to invite men to Allah. What is meant by the verse to invite men to Allah? It means to invite men to recite the Great Kalimah and to remind those who have recited the Great Kalimah to do the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah. Quran is the words of Allah and Quran is the desire of Allah. What is the desire of Allah? Allah desires all men in the whole world to accept Allah as their only God and to obey all the orders of Allah in the way shown by the Prophet Muhammad saw. Sunnah is the actions of Prophet Muhammad saw in order to fulfill the desire of Allah. What is the action of Prophet Muhammad saw or the Sunnah to fulfill the desire of Allah? The Sunnah is to invite men to Allah. Sunnah is to explain about the Quran and none of the Sunnah is false or weak. Hadis is to explain about the Sunnah and there are some Hadis which are false or weak.
Hadis are the words of Prophet Muhammad saw to explain the Sunnah. Syaitan work very hard to deviate men from the correct path. One of the ways syaitan uses to deviate men from the correct path is to persuade some men who have the knowledge about Hadis but also have the love of other than Allah in their hearts to create false or weak Hadis. Muslims without realizing it as a false or weak Hadis follows the Hadis blindly. Many of the so calls Muhaddissin among the ummat of Muhammad saw writes in their books, Hadis which are weak or false. Muslims who read the weak or false Hadis will follow those weak or false Hadis blindly. As for examples there are many false and weak Hadis were written in the book of Fadhail Amal, a book written by Maulana Zakaria, a Muhaddissin from India. Similarly there are many Hadis in Muntakab Hadis, a book which is written by Maulana Yusof also contained many false and weak Hadis. These two books are widely used by Jemaah Tabligh and Muslims all over the world. Muslims without knowing the status of the Hadis will read and follow the weak or false Hadis blindly. I think even Maulana Zakaria and Maulana Yusof were not aware that there are Hadis written in their books which are weak or false Hadis, because all the Hadis written in their books have been written in many previous books of Hadis for hundreds of years ago.
In my opinion, Hadis is to explain the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw and Sunnah is to explain the Quran. Al-Quran is the words of Allah and the actions of our Prophet Muhammad saw which are to explain the Quran are known as Sunnah. Anyone who wants to understand the Quran must look at the Sunnah. The actions of our Prophet Muhammad saw are known as the Sunnah. Sunnah is the Quran in actions. Whatever mention in a Hadis must complement what has been done by our Prophet Muhammad saw. Whatever has been done by Prophet Muhammad saw must complement what is mention in the Quran. If what is mention in the Hadis contradict to what is mention in the Quran, the Hadis must be a false or weak Hadis. All false and weak Hadis must be rejected by Muslims. When Muslims are following a weak or false Hadis, what is supposed not to be the order of Allah will be mistakenly regarded by Muslims to be the order of Allah. When Muslims are practicing what is not supposed to be the order of Allah or the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw, the practice will become an act of Bid’ah. Muslims who are practicing Bid’ah will regard the Bid’ah practices as the order of Allah and the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw. When they believe the Bid’ah practices are the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw they will practice the Bid’ah without having the desire to make taubah and istigfar.
Muslims who practice Bid’ah will not make istigfar and taubah. When the Muslims believe that Bid’ah practices is the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw then they will not make taubah and istigfar. The practice of going out for 3 days in a month, 40 days in a year and 4 months, once in the whole lifetime which is practiced in Jemaah Tabligh is an act of Bid’ah. A practice which is Bid’ah has no basis either in the Quran or in the Hadis. Jemaah Tabligh regards their tertibs to be the same as the order of Allah and need to be followed strictly by all the members of Jemaah Tabligh. Some of the tertibs in Jemaah Tabligh are not from the Quran. The six qualities in Jemaah Tabligh are not from the Quran and Hadis but it is from the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh. Although all the qualities in the six qualities of Jemaah Tabligh are mention in the Quran and Hadis but it is not mention in the order as describe by Jemaah Tabligh. The fourth quality in the six quality of Jemaah Tabligh is to be kind to Muslims only and not to be kind to all mankind. Why Jemaah Tabligh needs to introduce the six qualities into Islam when in Islam Allah has already given the Muslims the 5 Pillars of Islam and the 6 Pillars of Iman?
Is it possible that Islam is not complete with the coming of Prophet Muhammad saw? Is it possible when the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad saw Allah has forgotten to include the 6 qualities of Jemaah Tabligh into Islam? Allah has completed the revelations and that Allah has chosen Islam as the religion and that there will be no more revelations will come after the coming of the last Prophet Muhammad saw. As there is no more revelations after the coming of Prophet Muhammad saw there should not be any new thing to be introduced into Islam. It is impossible that Allah has not completed the revelations to Prophet Muhammad saw and that Jemaah Tabligh needs to introduce a new principle known as the 6 principles of Jemaah Tabligh into Islam. The six qualities of Jemaah Tabligh is an act of Bid’ah. Syaitans are using Jemaah Tabligh to spread Bid’ah practices all over the world. Many think that the existence of Jemaah Tabligh in almost all countries of the world show that the work of Jemaah Tabligh is the true work of our Prophet Muhammad saw. The basis of all truth is not on numbers of followers but on Quran and Hadis. The great number of followers in Jemaah Tabligh is not the basis which can be used as evidence to show that Jemaah Tabligh is on the correct path. An organization which has many followers does not mean the organization follow the Quran. Dajjal also has many followers whereas Dajjal is inviting men to him and not to Allah. Jemaah Tabligh has been deceived by Iblis and syaitan. Iblis and syaitan make the members of Jemaah Tabligh to think that they are in the correct path so that until they die they will never make taubah and istigfar.
