Allah wants the whole humankind to be successful and in order to become successful they must obey all the orders of Allah. The intention CLICK of obeying the orders of Allah is not to become successful but to please Allah. In order to become successful we have to obey all the orders of Allah at all particular times. In order to know what the order of Allah is at a particular time we have to know what the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w did at that time. What the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w did at a certain time are the orders of Allah most pleased by Allah at that time. Whatever the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w did is not in accordance with his desire but in accordance with the desire of Allah. When we follow exactly what the Prophet s.a.w did in all circumstances we are, actually following the orders of Allah at all times. What is Islam? Islam is what the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w did in all situation and condition. When we followed exactly what the Prophet s.a.w did then we are a true practicing Muslim.

Allah has ordered us to follow the Quran and when we do as the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w did then we are following the Quran. Al-Quran and Sunnah means the same thing. Quran is the words of Allah and Sunnah is the practice of the Prophet s.a.w, which is the interpretation of the Quran. We cannot understand Quran without looking at the practice of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and we cannot understand Sunnah without looking at the practices of the Sahabah at the times of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. When we follow Sunnah as understood by the Sahabah then we are following the orders of Allah as shown by Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. As an example, Allah had allowed Prophet Muhammad s.a.w to marry with anyone he likes and the numbers of women that the Prophet s.a.w can marry is unlimited. This is special to the Prophet s.a.w and none other the Prophet s.a.w is allow to do as the Prophet s.a.w did. Other the Prophet s.a.w can only marry matured women and the maximum number of women that anyone can marry at any one time is only four. The Sahabah who understand Sunnah have never married women of underage as practice by Samsuddin Ajaib CLICK. Allah sent the Prophet s.a.w to interpret the Quran according to the wishes of Allah. None understands the Quran more than Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. When we follow the Prophet s.a.w and the Sahabah, we are following the Quran as understood by the Prophet s.a.w and the Sunnah as understood by the Sahabah.

Many Muslims think it is so difficult to understand the Quran and in order to understand the Quran we must know Arabic languages and we must learn the interpretation of the Quran from the learned person who reads and study Arabic languages and the Quran for so many years. Many people are able to read, memorized the quran, and understand Arabic languages but if they do not practice the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, they do not understand the Quran. How much we follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w indicates the level of iman and the level of understanding of the Quran that we have. Sunnah of the Prophet is the interpretation of the Quran and the practice of the Sahabah at the times of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w is the interpretation of the Sunnah. Interpreting the Quran without looking at the Sunnah and the practice of the Sahabah will mislead the Muslims to the deviated path.

Our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said in the approximate meaning that the one who follows the correct path is the one who follows my Sahabah and me. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w also said that his umat divide into seventy-two groups and only one group is in the correct path. The group that is in the correct path is the one that follow Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his Sahabah. What was said by the Prophet s.a.w must be true and nothing but the truth. All of us must be worried whether we are in the correct path or in the deviated path. The chances to be in the correct path are very small while the chances to be in the wrong path are very great. In order to be in the correct path we have to follow Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and the Sahabah. The path followed by the Prophet and the Sahabah determine by the aims of their lifes. The aim of their lifes is to win the pleasure of Allah. In order to be in the correct path we have to make our aim of lifes to be the same as the aims of life of the Prophet s.a.w and the Sahabah. We will win the pleasure of Allah or Allah will be pleased with us only when we obey all the commandments of Allah to please Allah. The more orders of Allah we obey, the more Allah becomes please with us and the more our iman become increase. The more orders of Allah we have neglected, the more Allah becomes displease with us and the more our iman become decrease. The more Sunnah of the Prophet s.a.w we follow, the more Allah is pleased with us and the more our iman increased. The less Sunnah of the Prophet we follow, the less Allah is pleased with us and the more our iman becomes decrease. Our iman will increased when we obey the orders of Allah with the intention to please Allah and when we disobey the orders of Allah our iman will decreased.

The first order of Allah CLICK is to give dakwah to the non-Muslims CLICKabout the Kalimah until they are ready to accept and to recite the Kalimah, I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. In order to renew our iman the Prophet s.a.w also asked us to remind the Muslims about the meaning of the Kalimah and to invite them to obey the orders of Allah in the way of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. CLICK. When we do not give dakwah to non-Muslims CLICK as the Prophet s.a.w and the Sahabah did, and neither have we reminded the Muslims about the KalimahCLICK then we have disobeyed Allah, we have not followed the Sunnah and our iman becomes weaker. When we have disobeyed the first order of Allah, we have indeed disobeyed a great order of Allah and as a result we have committed a great sin and our iman becomes very weak.

The greater the order we have transgressed the greater sin we will have and the more iman we will lose. When we transgress a small order of Allah, we will have a small sin and we will lose small amount of iman. When we have transgressed a great order of Allah like the order of dakwah to non-Muslims, we will have very great sin and we will lose great amount of iman. When Muslims are not doing the work of dakwah to non-Muslims, their iman is very weak. With very weak iman a Muslims will only look like a Muslims but they do not have the quality of a real Muslims and their amals will have no power to attract the help of Allah.

The first order of Allah is to do the work of dakwah to the non-Muslims and to remind the Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah. It is the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and the practice of the Sahabah to give dakwah to the non-Muslims and to remind Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah. When Muslims are not doing the work of dakwah to the non-Muslims, then we are not practicing the great Sunnah of the Prophet, we are committing a great sin, we are not following the path of the Prophet, and our iman will be very weak. When our iman is very weak, we are unable to use our solat to solve all our problems and to prevent us from doing wrong things. That is the reasons why nowadays many Muslims, although they are performing five times solat yet they cannot prevent themselves from doing evil deeds and they cannot solve their problems using solat as the means.Although they are performing five times solat, yet when they have problems, they still use money and work as the non-Muslims instead of solat, as the means to solve their problems.

When we made any error in our actions, problems comes. Problem comes as a consequence of our wrong actions. When we correct our action then problem will be solved. Allah gives problems and none can give problems except Allah. Allah gives problems when we made wrong decision and wrong actions .When we made any decision, make sure that the decision is loved by Allah. When we simply make decision because we think we are in the position to make any decision and we make decision as we likes then we are wrong. Making good decision is not a simple work. Our decision has to be in line with what Allah likes. When we make decision against the wishes of Allah then problems comes. When we try to solve the problem by making another wrong decision then other problems comes. Problems will continue to come as long as we continue to make wrong decision and wrong actions. We must understand that wrong decisions and wrong action leads to problems. When problems comes we cannot solved it by making another wrong decision and action but we should revert the wrong decision to the right decision and the wrong action to good actions.
The burning of the eight churches is a wrong action done by people who does not know how to solve the problems except to follow their emotions. The peoples who burn the churches certainly feel very angry with the wrong decision taken by the court that the Christians can use the word Allah instead of God. The wrong decision taken by the court judge who happens to be non Muslims leads to the wrong actions of the public. The wrong decision leads to problems. When you are a court judge it does not means you will always make correct decision at all times. The decision made by the court judge is not related to the problems of an individual but it is related to the religions embraced by billions of people. Certainly the court judge has acted beyond its capacity and ability. When problems involving religion is taken to the courts then problems comes. We cannot give the court the power to decide matters related to religion and other sensitive matters. The court is not meant to solve all problems. Most of the judges are not competent to deal with religious issues and generally they themselves are not religious and certainly when they try to deal with religions they will make wrong decision
In my opinion the decision made by the court judge that Christians can use the word Allah instead of God is wrong and it is beyond their jurisdictions to do that. As a result of wrong decision comes the wrong action. Wrong decision leads to wrong action. Both are wrong and the government cannot put the blame only to the simple people who acted out of anger and burned the churches. When we are stress we act abnormally. We admit that the burning of churches is a wrong action but what about the wrong decision taken by the court judge that leads to the wrong actions. When the wrong action is done by the simple people we condemn it and we want to punish them severely. Do we think that the Muslims should not have any feeling of anger when Allah has been ridiculed to have a son name Isa or Jesus? What is the right of the Christians to ridiculed Allah that have created and nourished them? Allah cannot be ridiculed by anyone and to those who love Allah will certainly get angry when Allah is said to have a son. Allah is one and He has no sons and Allah has no associate with anyone
To solve the problems that arise from the wrong decision is to revert back the decision made by the court judge. Everyone make mistakes including the judges. Even Prophets makes mistake and what more judges. We should admit that the decision is a mistake. In case the decision is correct why there are problems. We should admit that we make mistakes. When we admit that we make mistake then the situations becomes cool. When the Christians ask the Muslims for forgiveness then the situations becomes even cooler. Can the Christians do these? Are not the Christians believes that they should even forgive their enemies. Are not Christians believed that they should love their enemies? The Muslims are not the enemies of the Chritians.We believe in the same God except we have different name. It is difficult to ask for forgiveness. When we are wrong we ask for forgiveness we are good person. When we are not wrong we ask for forgiveness we are great person. In both situations when we ask for forgiveness we are in the better side of the story. We do not lose when we acts as Allah wishes. When we acts according to the wishes of Allah our problem will be solved. If we acts according to our own wishes and we want to use the Internal Security Acts in order to solve our problem then more problems will comes. If the Christians take the negative action of burning the mosque then the problems will become even more gigantic.

May Allah save Malaysia from having racial and religious chaos? Wrong decision can lead to racial and religious chaos. We have to take times when we are making any decision, as any decision may lead to bad or good reaction. Good decision will lead to the acceptance of all parties and the result is peace and tranquility. In my opinion, the decision to let those states without sultan to use the name Allah instead of God is not wise. Decision made can be Godly driven or politically driven. When the decision is politically driven then we have to make a decision that pleased everyone. We have to please the non-Muslim also since they also vote us in the last election. In making decision we have to decide on the basis what Allah wants and not on the basis what the people wants. If we decide based on what Allah wants then we should decide that the Muslims only could use the word Allah. The decision must be final and it should apply all over the country. Only the people who believe in Allah should utter the word Allah.
Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Agung should make the decision. He is the head of the country and symbol of unity. Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Agung should be the person suited to make the decision. All Malaysians irrespective of religions should obey His Excellency decision. Great people should decide great problems .When Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Agung decides on the issues the decision would be accepted by everyone. When small people want to decide on great problems then more problems will come. The politicians should avoid themselves from being involved in making the decision. The opinions of all politicians are biased and they are not suited to become the decision maker in this issue. Malaysians should know that the issues is sensitive and wrong decision made by less suited personalities are going to cause chaotic conditions in the country .Malaysians politicians should realized that they are not in the position to tackled the problems. They should take the problems to Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Agung instead to the court.
Because of wrong decision taken by less suited personalities, wrong actions will result and many more churches and mosques will be burned or destroyed. Malaysia is a land of peace loving people and we do not want because of wrong decision, the country turn to be a land of chaos. The Prime minister and all the political leaders are responsible to ensure that Malaysia is always at peace. All of us loved this country and we want to maintain the image of peace that Malaysia possessed. If Malaysia turns chaotic then all the political leaders should bear the responsibilities. No politicians should capitalize the issues to their advantage. They should bring the issues to Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Agung.
Generally, all Malays respect their Sultan and they accept the Sultans as their leaders. All the Malays become Muslim when their Sultan embraces Islam. The Malays are very loyal to their Sultan and to the Malays no one should question the Sultan authority over religious issues. Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Yang DiPertuan Agung should decide all religious issues related to Islam. When religious issues are decided by the court or by the politicians then we are treading the road to chaos and instability.

There is only one correct path and there is only one true path. The true path is the path threaded by our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. Many people think that the true paths can be many. They say all paths are true as long as all the paths will make us to reach the same destination. They argue that we can follow many different paths, as we like, as long as all the paths will make us to reach the same destination. They say, for example, there are many ways or roads to Kuala Lumpur. When can take any roads we like since all the roads will lead to Kuala Lumpur. Unfortunately, we cannot apply the same argument in Islam. The path mention in the Quran is not the same path or the roads leading to a place. The path mention in the Quran is the ways of life. The correct ways of life is the ways of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and that way of life will lead us to Allah. The destination that we have to reach is not a place but the destination is having the love and the acceptance of Allah until we become the lover of Allah. The ways of life of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w is the ways of life love by Allah and whoever follows that way of life he or she will becomes the lover of Allah. Once a person becomes the lover of Allah, he or she has reached his or her destination and he or she has become successful in this world and hereafter.
To become successful is the aims and the desire of every person in this world. Everyone wants to become successful and Allah, who has created us, wants us to become successful. Allah wants us to become successful more than we want ourselves to become successful. The path that will lead us to success is the path taken by our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. The path or the ways of life taken by the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w colored by the aims of life of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w .The aims of life of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w is to please Allah until Allah is pleased. Allah is pleased when all the entire humankind belief and obeys Allah. He stops business and concentrate wholly with the work of dakwah CLICK. He spends time doing the work of dakwah from morning until evening and he met everyone and call them to Allah. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w did the work of inviting the non-Muslims to accept and to recite the Kalimah I bear witness there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah CLICK. When they becomes Muslims, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w will asked them to obey the orders of Allah and the first order of Allah is the work of dakwah, which is to invite the non-Muslims to enter Islam.
Nowadays Muslims are not in the path of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w since the work of dakwah which is the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam is not become the work of any Muslims. Nowadays Muslims have forgotten that the work of dakwah is the main work of every Muslims and it is the first order of Allah upon entering Islam, and the work of dakwah is obligatory on all Muslims. All Muslims including the learned Muslims have totally forgotten the work of dakwah on non-Muslims. Muslims are very unaware of the fact that the works of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam are their work and the negligence of that work will bring the wrath of Allah upon the Muslims. When Allah is not pleased with the Muslims, Allah will not answered the prayer of Muslims, Allah will not grant whatever the Muslims ask from Allah and Allah will not help the Muslims against their enemies. The enemies of the Muslims will always overpower the Muslims when Allah’s help is not with the Muslims. The condition of nowadays Muslims is because Allah is not with the Muslims. Allah is not with the Muslims because the Muslims have neglected the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam CLICK and the work to reminding the Muslims to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam CLICK.

When Muslims are neglecting the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam and reminding the Muslims to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam, Muslims will not be in the correct path. To be in the correct path Muslims must follow the Sunnah of the Prophet and the Companions of the Prophets s.a.w. The Sunnah of the Prophet and his companions begins with the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam and reminding the Muslims to obey the commandments of Allah. The first Sunnah or the first order of Allah is the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam. When Muslims are not following the Sunnah of the Prophets and his Companions, the Muslims are not in the correct path. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w used to say with the approximate meaning that my umat would divide into seventy-three groups and only one group is following the correct path. When his companions asked who are in that group. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w answered that the one in the correct path is the ones that follow my Sunnah and the Sunnah of my companions’. Both the Prophet s.a.w and his companions do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam and to remind the Muslims about the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam, but we do not do that same work as they did. Are we in the correct path or are we in the deviated path. Until and unless we do the same work as our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions did, we are in the wrong path. We do not like to be on the wrong path and neither we like people to tell us that we are in the wrong path. We always like to be in the correct path and we like people to tell us that we are in the correct path. We like to be in the correct path does not mean we are in the correct path. The correct path in the eyes of Allah is the path taken by the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions and the path begins with the work of calling the non-Muslims to enter Islam and to remind the Muslims to do the work of calling the non-Muslims to enter Islam.

To be in the correct path we cannot follows other than the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. We can only follow the scholars that follow the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. We cannot ask the people to follow the scholars when the scholars do not follow the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. We may call the scholars that do not follows Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions as ulama’ or those who fear Allah but in the eyes of Allah they are not ulama’ as all ulama’ follows the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his companions. All ulama’ do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam and reminding the Muslims to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to enter Islam.

Syiah and Sunni are two groups of Muslims, formed because of differences of opinion about the ascension of power after the demise of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Some Muslims have the opinion that the first Caliph should have been Hazrat Ali may Allah be pleased with him as he belongs to the families of the Prophet s.a.w. Other Muslims are of the opinion that the first Caliph should be Hazrat Abu Bakar may Allah be pleased with him since he was the first to become Muslim and the most trusted companions of the Prophet s.a.w with the strongest iman. It was not in the mind of Hazrat Abu Bakar or Hazrat Ali to become the first Caliph of Islam.

Both of them have no desires for power or wealth but their desires were only to obtain the pleasure of Allah. Both of them were the jewels of Islam and the trusted companion of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. It was destined that Hazrat Abu Bakar became the first and Hazrat Ali became the fourth Caliph of Islam. Both of these companions of the Prophet are confirmed to be the dwellers of paradise.

We cannot understand Quran correctly without having iman, even though we may know how to read and understand the meaning of the Quran. The understanding of the Quran goes according to the level of iman that the Muslims have .When the Muslims have strong iman they will have correct understanding of the Quran but when their iman become weak, they will have wrong understanding of the Quran. Different opinions among Muslims on who should become the first Caliph only happen during the times when the Muslims start to have weak iman. When the love to conquer countries and to collect jizyah from non-Muslims in those countries conquered by the Muslims has entered the heart of the Muslims, the Muslims started to leave the work of dakwah. The Muslims who have the love of dunia in their heart were thinking that if they continue to do dakwah to the non-Muslims then many will become Muslims and few will remain as non-Muslims. When there were only few non-Muslims then there will be less income to the country as only few people will have to pay jizyah. When the love of dunia comes in the heart of the Muslims, they leave the work of dakwah and when the Muslims started to leave the work of dakwah their iman become weak. It was during these times that division among Muslims started to occur and one of the groups was Syiah. In the beginning, Syiah represents the group of Muslims that have the opinion that the first Caliph of Islam should be Hazrat Ali and not Hazrat Abu Bakar but later on it emerged to become a religious sect of its own. Syiah religious scholars started to teach their followers to hate Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar because to the Syiah, these two companions of the Prophets were the culprit that prevented Hazrat Ali from becoming the first Caliph of Islam. The Syiah religious scholars started to teach their followers to love Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Hassan, Hazrat Hussein, Hazrat Fatimah and few other companions of the Prophet only, and to hate those companions of the Prophet whom they think were involved in the choice of Hazrat Abu Bakar to become the first Caliph. The Syiah religious scholars teach their followers that only those of ahli bait or those who has the blood relationship with the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w has the only right to becomes the leader or imam of the Muslims. The Syiah religious scholars teach their followers to mourn over the death of Hazrat Hussein in Karbala. The occasion to remember the death of Hazrat Hussein in Karbala is made yearly by the Syiah and it is regarded by the Syiah as an important day to remember.

When we perform solat with congregation, one person has to become imam and the imam has to be the best from among them. Similarly, when Muslims are to choose who should become their leader, they should choose the best from among the Muslims in the world to be their leader. We need an imam in order to perform solat with congregation and we need a leader in order to lead the entire Muslims in the whole world. The one that should become the leader of the whole Muslims in the whole world must be the best from among the Muslim. He should have the strongest of iman, the best of conduct and the most knowledgeable in almost all fields when compared with all other Muslims. The Muslims should not choose their leader only on the basis that they have lineage with the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Allah has not told us to do like this in choosing our leader. There is no inheritance of power in Islam. The leader of the Muslims at a particular time must be the best from among the Muslims in the whole world at that time. Hazrat Abu Bakar may Allah be pleased with him was the best Muslim at the times after the demise of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and so he was the right choice to become the first Caliph of Islam and not Hazrat Ali.

Hazrat Abu Bakar has become the first Caliph of Islam nearly one thousand three hundred years ago. None of us was there when the incident took place. The same political rivalry should not happen in our times. We should not inherit the hatred that they have until today. We should not becomes likes the pagans that inherit hatred from generation to generation. We should become like those who likes to forgive and forget. Although we may have different political views, there should not be any enmity between the Syiah and the Sunni. We should become brothers and sisters although we may have different religious opinion. We should not introduce ourselves as Syiah or Sunni but as only Muslims. The Syiah should stop remembering the sad incident that happens in Karbala whereby the misguided Muslims killed Hazrat Hussein. It is sad but we should forget and forgive. It gives us no benefit at all when we dwell on past sad memory. If any Muslims do harm on us we should remind them about their wrongdoing, brought it to discussion, and solve the problems amicably. We should not solve our problems using weapons, as we are brothers and sisters. We should solve our problems using friendly discussions and meetings. We should love all humankind especially Muslims and we should not hate each other. We have to stop killing any Syiah or Sunni and we have to stop killing any humankind. We are all belong to one family and descended from the same forefather and we are created by one God, name Allah and there is no God except Allah.

What is good? A person is said to do good when the person is willing to recite the Great Kalimah. What is the Great Kalimah? The Great Kalimah is “There is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah”. The words “There is no God except Allah” also means there is no one who is able to give good or bad to men except Allah and it also mean that there is no one who can gives honour or disgrace except Allah. What is an evil? A person is said to do evil when a person is not willing to recite the Great Kalimah. A person who is not willing to recite the Great Kalimah is a person who does evil and the evil must be prevented by inviting that person to do good or to invite the person to recite the Great Kalimah. What is the greatest evil committed by a person who has recited the Great Kalimah? The greatest evil committed by a person who has recited the Great Kalimah is the person is not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. The work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils is the first order of Allah to be performed by a person who has recited the Great Kalimah. However our Muslim scholars believe that a person will automatically become a believer and the lover of Allah on reciting the Great Kalimah. According to our Muslim scholars, the first order of Allah to be performed by a person who has recited the Great Kalimah is to perform the five times daily prayers and not to do the work of inviting mankind to good and prevent mankind from evils.
In my opinion the understanding that after reciting the Great Kalimah the first order of Allah is to perform the five times daily prayers is wrong. This understanding is against the Quran. In the Quran, Allah tells to the Arab Badwi who claims to have become a believer when he recited the Great Kalimah that he is not a believer but he had only entered Islam. It is clear from the verse of the Quran that a person will not become a believer only by reciting the Great Kalimah. In order for a person to become a believer after reciting the Great Kalimah, the person must do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way shown by our Prophet Muhammad saw. The work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils is the work which fulfills the right of reciting the Great Kalimah. It is the first order of Allah to be performed by everyone who has recited the Great Kalimah. The order to perform the five times daily prayers is not the first order of Allah but the second order of Allah. It is wrong to tell to the Muslims that after reciting the Great Kalimah the first order of Allah is to perform the five times daily prayers. However our Muslim scholars are telling to the Muslims that the first order of Allah after reciting the Great Kalimah is to perform the five times daily prayers. What a wrong understanding our Muslims scholars have! This wrong understanding causes the Muslims to do wrong actions since more than one thousand years ago. When the Muslims are doing wrong actions, they become deviated from the correct path. Since more than one thousand years ago, the Muslims in all over the world have become deviated from the correct path. Since a thousand years ago this wrong understanding has been perpetuating among the Muslims and it is now, Allah has guided Muslims the correct understanding of the Quran and Hadis.
The first order of Allah to be performed by a person who has recited the Great Kalimah is to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. However, the Muslims have neglected the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way of Prophet Muhammad saw more than one thousand years. Muslims have not realized that it is obligatory on them to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding them from evils. The Muslims are not making repentance to Allah for neglecting the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. Since more than one thousand years ago this misunderstanding has existed among the Muslim scholars and the Muslims in all over the world. Since more than one thousand years ago, Muslims have not regarded the work of inviting men to good and forbidding mankind from evils as the first order of Allah or the most important order of Allah to the Muslims and because of that the Muslims are not doing the work of inviting men to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way shown by our Prophet Muhammad saw. When all the Muslims are not doing the work of inviting men to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way shown by our Prophet Muhammad saw, Allah does not give the Muslim scholars and the Muslims the understanding of the Quran and the Hadis.
When Muslims and the Muslim scholars are not given by Allah the understanding of the Quran and the Hadis they become deviated from the correct path. When Muslims have become deviated from the correct path, the non-Muslims think that Islam is the same as the deviated practices of the Muslims. When the non-Muslims look at the deviated practices of the Muslims they dislike Islam because they think Islam is synonymous with the deviated practices of the Muslims. Since more than one thousand years ago the Muslims have become deviated from the correct path; in my opinion, the Muslims will only be able to come to the correct path when the Muslims come to regard that to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils as the first and the most important order of Allah to the Muslims. The wrong actions of the Muslims have tarnished the good image of Prophet Muhammad saw and Islam. Many of the actions of the Muslims nowadays are not following the true teaching of Islam. Nowadays the Muslims are not following the true teaching of Islam because the Muslims scholars are not teaching the Muslims the true understanding of the Quran and Hadis.
Muslim scholars are not teaching the Muslims the true understanding of the Quran and Hadis because they are not given by Allah the true understanding of the Quran and Hadis. Our Muslim scholars are not given by Allah the true understanding of the Quran and Hadis because they do not do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way shown by the Prophet Muhammad saw. Allah has not given the guidance or taufik to the Muslim scholars to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils, because the Muslim scholars have not made their purpose of their lives is to earn the pleasure of Allah. When the Muslims scholars are not making the purpose of their lives is to earn the pleasure of Allah, they will not be given by Allah the guidance or taufik to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way shown by our Prophet Muhammad saw. When the Muslims scholars are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way shown by our Prophet Muhammad saw, Allah does not give to the Muslim scholars the understanding of the Quran and Hadis. When the Muslim scholars do not understand the true meaning of the Quran and Hadis, the Muslim scholars become deviated from the correct path. When the Muslim scholars have become deviated from the correct path, the whole Muslims also become deviated from the correct path.
When the Muslims have become deviated from the correct path, the Muslims become divided into many groups. Our Prophet Muhammad saw had said in a Hadis with an approximate meaning that in the future the Muslims shall be divided into seventy three groups and all the groups are the deviated groups except one group and when the Prophet Muhammad saw was asked which is the group that is on the correct path, the Prophet Muhammad saw was reported to have answered that the group which is on the correct path is the group which follow the Prophet Muhammad saw and the Prophet’s companions. However, all the Muslims who follow the seventy two deviated groups claim that they are in the correct path and that they are following the Prophet Muhammad saw and the companions. When the Muslims have become deviated from the correct path the Muslims will start to quarrel and to curse among themselves. When the Muslims started to quarrel and to curse among themselves, Allah will not look at the Muslims and will not grant the doa or the prayers of the Muslims and Allah will not help the Muslims against their enemies. In my opinion this is the conditions of the Muslims in the world today. How to revive Islam and the Muslims in all over the world? In my opinion, the first thing that all the Muslims must do is to make repentance because they have neglected the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way of Prophet Muhammad saw and the second thing that all Muslims must do is to change their purpose of live from the purpose of fulfilling their own lusts to the purpose of fulfilling the wishes of Allah and to earn the love of Allah.
When the Muslims have make repentance to Allah because they have neglected the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and when the Muslims have started to make their purpose of lives is only to earn the pleasure of Allah then only Allah will give to the Muslims the taufik to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils as their main work. When the Muslims have made the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils as their main work, then only Allah will be pleased with the Muslims. When Allah is pleased with the Muslims, Allah will place the love of Allah inside the heart of the Muslims. When Allah has place the love of Allah inside the heart of the Muslims then only the Muslims will be able to love the Jews, the Americans, other races and all the other creations of Allah. In my opinion when the Muslims have started to love the Jews, Americans, other races and all the other creations of Allah then only there will be a true peace in this world. When the Muslims have started to become believers they will start to practice the true Islamic values and at that time, hatred in the heart of the Muslims will change to love and war or terrorism in this world will change to peace and friendliness.

In my opinion the interpretation of the Hadis, to prevent evil with the heart is to hate the evil action but not to hate the evil doer is a very wrong interpretation of the Hadis. Allah does not order Muslims to hate evil action, the evil doer or to do evil action. Why should we hate the evil action or to love the good action? We are not ordered to hate or to love any action or to hate any person but to love the person. We are ordered to do good actions and are not ordered to do evil actions. Allah orders us to love the whole mankind and not to hate anyone. We are ordered by Allah to do good actions and not to do evil actions. When a person hates an evil action, automatically the person will hate the person who is committing the action. When a person hates that person, he/she is disobeying an order of Allah. Allah does not order the Muslims to hate the evil action or the evil doer but Allah orders the Muslims not to do the evil action but to prevent the evil action either with power or with words or at least with the heart which means to make doa to Allah so that the evil doer is given guidance or taufik by Allah to stop committing the evil action.
In my opinion, this Hadis has led to many Muslims to believe that to hate evil actions and evil doers is a virtuous action. In my opinion, because the Muslims believe to hate evil actions and evil doers is a virtuous action is the reason why there are many Muslims who hate the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims who disobeyed the orders of Allah. Muslims believe when they hate the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims who disobeyed the orders of Allah they are preventing evils with their heart. Although this Hadis is true but the interpretation is wrong. Who teaches the Muslims the wrong interpretation of the Hadis? It is the Muslims scholars. There are many Muslims who hate the Jews and the Americans because they believe the Jews and the Americans are evil doers and when they hate the evil doers they believe that they are preventing the evils with their hearts. In my opinion, the wrong interpretation of this Hadis has caused hatred in the hearts of the Muslims towards the non-Muslims and the evil doers.
When a person hates another person it means the person has instilled negative values into their own hearts. Negative values in our hearts will give birth to negative actions. Allah never orders a Muslim to hate any man, irrespective whether the man is a Jew or a non-Muslim or a Muslim who is an evil doer. Hatred is a negative value while love is a positive value. In my opinion, it is wrong to interpret the word to prevent evil with the heart is to have hatred towards the evil actions in our heart. In my opinion, a person who is committing an evil will not be prevented from doing the action by hating the action. The person will only be prevented from doing the evil when Allah gives the person the guidance (taufik) to stop committing the evil action. What it means by the words “to prevent evils with the heart” is to make doa to Allah so that Allah will give to the person who is committing the evil the guidance (taufik) to stop doing the evil action.
How could our Muslims scholars interpret the Hadis wrongly whereas our Muslims scholars have studied the Quran and Hadis for so many years? The Hadis was interpreted wrongly by our Muslims scholars because the Hadis was interpreted without any reference to the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw and the Quran. As I have mentioned earlier in many of my previous articles that Hadis explain the Sunnah and Sunnah explain the Quran. Sunnah is the actions of our Prophet Muhammad saw which explain the Quran. In other word in order to understand a Hadis we need to use the Sunnah and the Quran. Without using the Sunnah and the Quran we cannot interpret a Hadis. Interpreting a Hadis without any reference to the Sunnah and the Quran will lead to the wrong interpretation of the Hadis. Both Sunnah and the Quran is the same. Quran is the word of Allah and Sunnah is the actions of Prophet Muhammad saw which explain the Quran. When we are trying to interpret a Hadis without using the Sunnah and the Quran, it means we are interpreting the Hadis with our own mind and thinking. We will only be able to understand the meaning of the words, to prevent evils with the heart when we look at the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw in preventing the evil actions of the peoples of Taif. What were the evils actions of the peoples of Taif? The evils actions of the peoples of Taif were not recognizing the oneness of Allah, and not recognizing Muhammad saw as the Prophet of Allah. In Taif, our Prophet Muhammad saw was not able to use power to prevent evils of the peoples because Allah had not given to our Prophet Muhammad saw the power over the peoples of Taif. Therefore, our Prophet Muhammad saw was only able to prevent the evils of the peoples of Taif by using words. When our Prophet Muhammad saw was not able to prevent the evils of the peoples of Taif with words, our Prophet Muhammad saw resort to prevent the evil actions of the peoples of Taif with the heart.
When our Prophet Muhammad saw was trying to prevent the evils of the peoples of Taif with words, he was ridiculed by the leaders of Taif and he was forced by the leaders to leave Taif. While he was leaving the town, the children of Taif were throwing stones at our Prophet Muhammad saw which had caused our Prophet Muhammad saw to bleed with blood. When our Prophet Muhammad saw had realized that he was not able to prevent the evils actions of the peoples of Taif with words, then he resorted to the next method of preventing evil deeds, which is with the heart. Did our Prophet Muhammad saw hate or curse the evil actions of the peoples of Taif, or curse the peoples of Taif? What our Prophet saw did after he was not able to prevent the evil actions of the peoples of Taif with words is the true meaning of the words in the Hadis “to prevent evils with the heart”. The true meaning of the words “to prevent evils with the heart” is not to hate or to curse the evil actions or the evil doers but to make doa or prayer to Allah and to ask Allah to give guidance or hidayah to the evil doers. In other words the true interpretation of the words in the Hadis “to prevent the evils with the heart” is to make doa to Allah and to ask Allah to give guidance or hidayah to the evil doers.
When our Prophet Muhammad saw was quite a distance away from the town of Taif, our Prophet Muhammad saw, in solitude and with tears flowing down his cheeks, he was making a very long doa or prayer to Allah and in the doa our Prophet Muhammad saw was asking Allah to give guidance or hidayah to the peoples of Taif and their children. When our Prophet Muhammad saw was unable to prevent the evils of the peoples of Taif with words, he neither hate the evil actions nor did he cursed the evil actions but instead our Prophet Muhammad saw was making doa for the guidance of the peoples of Taif. When we relate the Hadis with the Sunnah then only we are able to understand the true interpretation of the meaning of the Hadis “to prevent evils with our heart” means to make doa for the guidance of evil doers. The meaning of the Hadis is not to hate or to curse the evil actions but to make doa for the guidance or taufik for the evil doers to stop committing the evil deeds. This Hadis is a true Hadis and very popular among the Muslims but the interpretation of the Hadis is wrong. In my opinion, the wrong interpretation of this Hadis has caused many Muslims to think and to believe, that to hate evil actions is the correct method to prevent evils with the heart. In my opinion a person who hates evils action will automatically hates the evil doers. When a person hates the evil doers the person has disobeyed the order of Allah.
Once a person hates the evil actions, the next action the person will do is to hate the evil doers. Then the next action the person will do is to kill the evil doers. When the person killed the evil doers, syaitan will whisper to the killer that you are preventing evils with power and in case you died in this path, you will die as a martyr. Muslims who believe that the act of killing evil doers is the act of preventing evils with power will become the Muslims who are now currently known in the world as terrorist. Muslims who believe to kill evil doers is an act to prevent evils with power, will name the war against the evil doers as Jihad and to die in the war as martyrs. Nowadays, there are many Muslims, which name their wars against the Jews and the Americans as Jihad and to die in these wars as martyrs. Muslims who are involved in these movements often regard themselves as the true Muslims with strong iman to Allah. They think and believe that they are the true Muslims with strong iman to Allah because they are able to prevent evil actions with power. They have interpreted the meaning of the Hadis to prevent evils with power is to declare war against the non-Muslims whom they believe to be the evil doers and the enemies of Islam. Since the Jews and the Americans are regarded by many Muslims to be the evil doers and the enemies of Islam, many Muslims who wage war against the Jews and the Americans regard the war as Jihad and as an act to prevent evils with power and to die in the war as martyrs.
Many young Muslims who want to die as martyrs will join these movements, which are known to the Jews and the Americans as the terrorist movement. Allah does not teach the Muslims to hate the evils and the evil doers but Allah teaches the Muslims not to do the evil deeds but to love the evils doers. What it means to love the evil doers? It means to invite the evil doers to good. Allah orders the Muslims to obey the order of Allah in the way shown by our Prophet Muhammad saw. Allah orders the Muslims to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the ways shown by our Prophet Muhammad saw. Muslims must interpret the Quran with the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw and not with their own minds and experiences. When Muslims interpret the Quran and the Hadis with their own minds and experiences, the Muslims will become deviated from the correct path. Allah orders the Muslims to prevent evils either with power or with words or with our heart. It is also mentioned in the Hadis that the persons who prevent evils with the heart will obtain the lowest level of iman. What are evil deeds? When men do not recognize the existence of Allah or associate Allah with others, or taking others as their God, then men are committing evils. All the non-Muslims in this world are committing evils. When men who have recited the Great Kalimah do not do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the ways shown by our Prophet Muhammad saw the Muslims are committing evils. The greatest evil done by the Muslims in this world is the Muslims are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the ways shown by our Prophet Muhammad saw. Allah orders the Muslims to prevent evils by inviting the men who do evils to do good and not to hate the evils or the evil doers but to invite the evil doers to do good.
A person is only able to do an evil deed when Allah has given the person the permission to do the evil deed. Allah will give a person the permission to do the evil deeds when the person chooses to do evil deeds. How to prevent a person from choosing to do the evil deeds? In order to prevent the person from choosing to do the evil deeds is to love the person which means to invite the person to do good deeds. What is a good deed? A good deed is to recite the Great Kalimah. When a person recites the Great Kalimah the person has become Muslim but the Great Kalimah has not entered into the person’s heart and the person has not become believer or the lover of Allah. In order for that person to become a believer or the lover of Allah, the person must do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils.

Men will not be able to obey all the orders of Allah in the way shown by the Prophet Muhammad saw and with the intention to please Allah, unless men have the love of Allah in their heart. This is known as having the true iman or faith towards Allah. Men will not be able to have the true iman or faith toward Allah unless men do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evil after reciting the Great Kalimah. When Muslims are not inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah, it means the Muslims have committed the greatest evil. The greatest evil of the Muslims must be prevented by inviting the Muslims to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and to remind the Muslims about the Great Kalimah and to invite Muslims to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and to perform the five times daily prayers. It is obligatory (fardu ain) on all Muslim males and females to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and to perform the five times daily prayers. It is also obligatory on some Muslims males (fardu kifayah)to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and to invite the Muslims to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evil and to perform the five times daily prayers with congregation (Jemaah). Both of the orders are obligatory to all Muslims and the obligatory is fardu kifayah and fardu ain. In Islam, it is only these two orders of Allah, which are obligatory to Muslims, and the obligatory is both of fardu kifayah and fardu ain.
Allah says in the Quran with the approximate meaning; there is no compulsion in religion. This means Muslims are not allowed to invite either the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah or to invite the Muslims to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and to invite the Muslims to perform the five times daily prayers with force but with love and affection. Allah orders the Muslims to continue to invite with love and affection to the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and the Muslims to obey the orders of Allah, even though the non-Muslims continue to refuse reciting the Great Kalimah and the Muslims continue to refuse obeying the orders of Allah. Our Prophet Muhammad saw continue to invite his uncle to recite the Great Kalimah with love and affection and he continue to remain friendly with his uncle Abu Talib, even though Abu Talib continue to refuse reciting the Great Kalimah. Probably, our Prophet Muhammad saw had invited his uncle Abu Talib to recite the Great Kalimah for more than hundred times. Although, Abu Talib continue to refuse to recite the Great Kalimah, but our Prophet Muhammad saw remain friendly and loving towards his uncle, Abu Talib.
Prophet Muhammad saw continue to remain friendly and loving towards his uncle Abu Talib, even to the hour when Abu Talib was about to pass away from this world. Abu Talib who is the most beloved person of our Prophet Muhammad saw finally died in a condition refusing to recite the Great Kalimah. Contrary to the action of our Prophet Muhammad who remains friendly and loving towards those who refuse to recite the Great Kalimah, there is a Hadis which advice Muslims to severe relationship with the Muslims who continue to practice evils deeds even though being reminded continuously by others to stop the evil practices. In my opinion, this Hadis must be a false Hadis because the meaning of the Hadis does not seems to complement the meaning of the verse of the Quran, which says that there is no compulsion in religion and this Hadis does not complement the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw. In my opinion, those Muslims who hate the non-Muslims or who hate Muslims who disobeyed the orders of Allah must have been the Muslims who are practicing this false Hadis. Muslim who practices this false Hadis will hate the non-Muslims and the Muslims who disobeyed the orders of Allah. When Muslims understand that this action is the order of Allah and the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw, they will not like to mingle with non-Muslims or with the Muslims who disobeyed the orders of Allah. I think this is the reason why there are many Muslims who are not friendly with the non-Muslims or friendly with the Muslims who disobeyed the orders of Allah. Muslims who are friendly with the non-Muslims or with the Muslims who disobeyed the orders of Allah are usually the Muslims who are not practicing Islam.
When Muslims do not love the non-Muslims, they do not like to become friend with the non-Muslims. When Muslims do not love the non-Muslims they do not like to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. When Muslims do not love the non-Muslims, they will have hatred towards the non-Muslims. When Muslims have hatred towards the non-Muslims, the Muslims will have war with the non-Muslims. Why the Muslims do not love the non-Muslims? They do not love the non-Muslims because they do not love Allah. Why the Muslims do not love Allah? They do not love Allah because they do not do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils after they have recited the Great Kalimah. Allah does not order the Muslims to hate the Jews, the Christians or to hate any of the followers of any religions, or to hate any races, or to hate Muslims who have disobeyed the order of Allah. A Muslim who hates the Jews, the Americans, any races or Muslims who disobey the order of Allah has disobeyed the order of Allah. Is there any verse in the Quran, which order the Muslims to hate the non-Muslims such as the Jews, the Christians or any races or the Muslims who disobey the orders of Allah? All the Hadis which order the Muslims to hate the Jews , the Christians or the Muslims who have disobeyed the orders of Allah are not complementing the meaning of the Quran and the Sunnah. Hadis, which orders the Muslims to hate others, must be a false Hadis. Allah is the most merciful and the most compassionate and it is not possible for Allah who is the most merciful and the most compassionate to order the Muslims to hate the Jews and the Christians.
In the Quran, Allah introduces Himself as the most merciful and the most compassionate. Allah who is the most merciful and the most compassionate wants the whole mankind to love each other as one whole family. Allah wants the Muslims to love the Jews and Allah wants the Jews to love the Muslims. Prophet Muhammad saw wants the Muslims to consider everyone in this world to be the same whether they are Jews or Arabs. According to the teaching of Islam, a person is not superior to another person because of the person’s race but a person is superior to another person because of the person’s good actions. There is no race in this world, which is more superior to other races. Neither the Arabs nor the Jews are more superior to any other races in this world. When the Jews believe that they are more superior to the Arabs and other races, the Jews will look down at the Arabs and to the other races and the Jews will not do justice either to the Arabs, or to the other races. In my opinion, the problems that arise between the Jews and the Arabs in the Middle East only due to the wrong believe of both the Jews and the Arabs. Arabs, who are mainly Muslims, hate the Jews because they regard the Jews as non-Muslims and the enemies of Muslims. Arabs believe to hate the Jews who are the enemies of Muslims is a virtue. Many Muslims believe that all the evils acts in this world associated with the Jews. Is it true that all the evil actions in this world are associated with the Jews? In the Quran, Allah does mention about the evil actions of the Jews who lived during the time of Prophet Muhammad saw but it does not imply that all the Jews even who live in this world today are associated with evils. The stories of the Jews who did evil deeds are the Jews at the time of Prophet Muhammad saw and not the Jews who live today in this world. The Jews of today have no relationship with the evils deed done by the Jews at the time of Prophet Muhammad saw. In order to teach the whole mankind about the consequences which may come to those who disobeyed the order of Allah, Allah use the example of the Jews who were doing the evil deeds at the time of Prophet Muhammad saw but that does not mean that all the Jews until doomsday are evils.
When Allah mentioned the stories of the evil actions, which were done by the Jews at the time of our Prophet Muhammad saw, it does not mean that all the Jews until the doomsday are evil peoples. Jew is the same as other races in this world. There are good and bad Jew. There are many other races other than Jew who have also disobeyed the order of Allah but the names of the races are not mentioned in the Quran. What is the reason that makes the Muslims to associate the Jews with evil action? Who teaches the Muslims to associate the Jews with the evil actions? In my opinion, it is the work of the Muslim scholars who instead of teaching the true Islam but teaching racism to the Muslims. In my opinion, Muslims scholars are the one who teach the Muslims to associate the evil actions with the Jews and to hate the Jews. Muslims scholars are the ones who teach the Muslims to hate the Jews. I have never heard personally from the mouth of the Muslims scholars whether in Malaysia or abroad, that Muslims must love the Jews because we belong to one family of Ibrahim and Adam. In my opinion, it is also the work of the Jews scholars teach the Jews, that Jews are superior race than other races in this world.
Muslims are associating the word Jews with evil actions because many Muslims follow their Muslims scholars blindly. Allah has not given the Muslims scholars the understanding of the true meaning of the Quran because the Muslims scholars are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. Many Muslims associate the word Jews to mean evil persons. Many Muslims hate the Jews because they believe the Jews are evil. On the other hand, the Jews do injustice to the Arabs because they believe Jews are superior to Arabs. When the Jews do injustice to the Arabs, the belief which the Arabs have inherited towards the Jews, since thousands of years ago that Jews are evil peoples, is increases. When the belief increases in the heart of the Arab-Muslims, the hatred which they have continue to increase. Therefore, the war between the Jews and the Arabs continue to become more impossible to end. As long as the wrong belief in the heart of both the Jews and the Arab Muslims remain, the war between the Jews and the Muslims Arabs will never end. Allah has never order the Muslims to hate the Jews, the Christians or any non-Muslims in this world. The Hadis that orders Muslims to hate the Jews are the false Hadis.
What are the causes that made Muslims hate the Jews and the evil doers? In my opinion, there is one very famous Hadis, which is a true Hadis but because of the wrong interpretation made by the Muslims scholars cause Muslims to hate the evil doers and the Jews. The approximate meaning of the Hadis is you must prevent evil with power and in case you are not able to prevent the evil with power, you must prevent the evil with your words and in case you are not able to prevent the evil with your words you must prevent the evil with your heart and this is the weakest iman. This Hadis is in fact is a true Hadis but since thousands of years ago it was wrongly interpreted by the Muslims scholars. According to the interpretation of the Hadis; to prevent evil with your heart means to hate the evil actions which are done by the persons who are committing the evils but not to hate the evil doers. In my opinion, it is not possible to hate evil actions without having to hate the person who is committing the evil actions. How is it possible to prevent evil actions with the heart means to hate the evil actions in the heart? In my opinion, to hate evil actions in the heart, which are done by a person will not prevent the person from committing the evil actions.

Allah has created us because He wants us to love Him. Allah gives us many orders to be followed by us with the intention only to please Allah until Allah is pleased with us. Allah orders us to love Allah, those who are loved by Allah and to love all the other creations of Allah. Allah has never order us to hate anyone, any race or any religion. Who are the peoples who are loved by Allah? The peoples who are loved by Allah are those who obey all the orders of Allah with the intention only to please Allah until Allah is pleased. How would we know that Allah loves a person? The peoples who are loved by Allah are those who have the quality of humbleness or tawa’dhu. Allah is Great. There is no one who is Great except Allah. A person who thinks that he or she is great is a person who is away from Allah and not loved by Allah. A person who is humble or tawa’dhu will have good characters. A person, through who, good come to other peoples is a good person. A person who always does good to other peoples, even to those who do evils to him or her is a good person. Good or bad comes only from Allah. Allah showers His blessing to the entire mankind through a man whom Allah has chosen to become the mean to spread His blessing to the entire mankind. The persons who are chosen to be the mean to spread the blessing of Allah to the entire mankind are known as the Prophets. Prophet Muhammad is one of the men who is chosen by Allah to become the mean for Allah to shower His blessing to the entire mankind and to the other creations of Allah. Allah has mentioned in the Quran with the approximate meaning; we have not sent you oh Muhammad except as a blessing to the entire mankind. What is mean by the words; a blessing to the entire mankind? The blessing to the entire mankind means is the correct lifestyle of the Prophet Muhammad saw, which when practiced by the entire men, will ensure men to have a life of blessing which is full of happiness in this world and the hereafter.
Good or evil come only from Allah. There is no one who is able to give good and evil except Allah. Allah does only good. Allah never does any evil or bad action. Good or bad comes only from Allah. Allah gives good when men are doing good action and Allah gives evil when men are doing evil action. Wars that exist between men are evil and the evil come from Allah. War and peace come from Allah. Allah is the one who gives peace to men and Allah is the one who gives war to men. Allah is the one who gives good and Allah is the one who gives evil to men. What men should do in order to make Allah gives good to them? Men must do good actions then Allah will give good to men. Good actions are the mean upon which Allah will give good to men and evil actions are the mean upon which Allah will give evil to men. Allah is the one who gives good or evil to men. Allah decides to give good or bad to men according to the actions of men. Men are given the choice either to do good or to do bad actions. When men choose to do bad actions, Allah will give men the permission to do evil actions. When men choose to do good actions, Allah will give men the permission to do good actions.
When men choose to love each other, Allah will give men the permission to love each other. When men choose to hate each other, Allah will give men the permission to hate each other. Allah orders men to love Allah, to love those who are loved by Allah and to love all the creations of Allah. Allah never order men to hate Allah or to hate the persons who are loved by Allah or to hate other creations of Allah. Allah does not order men to hate evils deed and to hate the evil doers. Allah orders us to love even the evil doers. What it means to love the evil doers? It means to prevent the evil doers from committing the evil deeds by inviting the evil doers to do good. When Muslims are doing good deeds, Muslims should not do the good deeds because the Muslims love the good deeds but because it is the order of Allah and only to please Him. Allah orders the Muslims not to do evil deeds. Muslims should avoid from doing the evil deeds, not because the Muslims hate the evil deeds but because it is the order of Allah and to please Allah. Allah orders Muslims to love Allah, to love the persons who are loved by Allah and to love all the creations of Allah. Hatred is not the quality of Allah and it should not become the quality of those who wants to be loved by Allah. When Muslims hate the creations of Allah the Muslims have disobeyed the order of Allah. Allah is the most merciful and the most compassionate. Allah wants men to have the quality of merciful and compassionate. When Muslims are merciful and compassionate toward the creations of Allah, Muslims have obeyed the order of Allah.
We will be able to love all the creations of Allah and to love those who are loved by Allah only when in our heart there is love of Allah. When there is no love of Allah in our hearts, it will not be possible for us to love all the creations of Allah and to love those who are loved by Allah. How men will have love Allah in their hearts when men cannot even see Allah? Although men cannot see Allah but men can see the creations of Allah. Men can also see the good and the bad, which come from the creations of Allah. In order for men to love Allah who is unseen, men need to believe that all the creations, which are visible to men, are created by Allah. In order for men to love Allah who is unseen, men need to believe that good and bad which appear to come from the creations is actually come from Allah. How can such belief of the unseen can come into the hearts and minds of men? In order for such belief to come into the heart and mind of men, the first thing men should do is to recite the Great Kalimah. What is the Great Kalimah? The Great Kalimah is to recite; “I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”
Once men have recited the Great Kalimah, men should do the work, which will make the Great Kalimah enter into their hearts. What is the work to be done? It is the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evil. What is the meaning of the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evil? The non-Muslims must be invited to recite the Great Kalimah and the Muslims must be reminded about the Great Kalimah and must be invited to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and to perform the five times daily prayers. When a person is speaking and hearing about the meaning of the Great Kalimah repeatedly and with the intention to please Allah until Allah is pleased, Allah will place the Great Kalimah and the love of Allah into the person’s heart. When the Great Kalimah and the love of Allah is inside the heart of a person then that person will be able to love Allah, to love those who are loved by Allah and to love all the creations of Allah.
Allah orders Muslims to deliver the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims and not to convince the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. Allah orders Muslims to invite the non-Muslims to become Muslims and not to convince the non-Muslims to become Muslims. Allah does not order Muslims to convince the non-Muslims to become Muslims or to convince the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. Muslims are ordered by Allah only to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims. Allah orders the Muslims to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims with love and affection. Allah does not order the Muslims to deliver the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims with force. Allah does not order the Muslims to wage war against the non-Muslims who choose not to recite the Great Kalimah or to wage war against the Muslims who choose not to obey the orders of Allah. Prophet Muhammad saw had never wage war against the non-Muslims who do not want to recite the Great Kalimah or against the Muslims who do not want to obey the orders of Allah. Whatever done by the Prophet Muhammad saw is known as Sunnah and the Sunnah is explaining the correct meaning of the Quran. The correct meaning of the Quran can only be correctly interpreted by the actions of Prophet Muhammad saw. Even the actions of the companions of Prophet Muhammad saw cannot be used to interpret the true meaning of the Quran. The actions of Prophet Muhammad saw are the Sunnah, the Sunnah is to explain the wishes of Allah, and the wishes of Allah are the Quran. Our Prophet Muhammad saw has left to the Muslims; the Quran and the Sunnah.
Prophet Muhammad saw has said with the approximate meaning; “Whoever among my umat follows the Quran and the Sunnah, they will not be forever deviated from the correct path, even though the Prophet Muhammad saw is no longer with the Muslims”. The action of Hazrat Abu Bakar r.anhu to wage war against the Muslims who became apostate and who refused to pay alms or zakat after the demise of Prophet Muhammad saw is not the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw. Similarly, the action of Hazrat Abu Bakar r.anhu and Hazrat Umar r.anhu to compile the Quran in the form of a book is also not the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw. Whatever action of a Muslim, which is not the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw, is known as Bid’ah. Bid’ah practices can either be Haram (strictly forbidden) or Makruh (not strictly forbidden). The person who practices Bid’ah, which is Haram, is committing sins but the person who practices Bid’ah, which is Makruh, is not committing sins. There are two types of Makruh. The first type is known as Makruh Tahrimi (not strictly forbidden of the higher level). The second type is known as Makruh Tanzih (not strictly forbidden of the lower level).The actions of Hazrat Abu Bakar to wage war against the Muslims who became apostate and Muslims who refuse to pay zakat after the demise of Prophet Muhammad saw is Makruh Tahrimi and the action of Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar to compile the Quran in the form of a book is Makruh Tanzih.
Allah orders the Muslims to love Allah, to love those who are loved by Allah and to love the whole creations of Allah. Love means to do justice to the non-Muslims and the Muslims. Love means to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and to remind the Muslims about the Great Kalimah and to invite Muslims to obey the orders of Allah. Islam is a religion of love, but the actions of Muslims do not seem to show that Islam is the religion of love. Non-Muslims will not know about the true teaching of Islam because many of them will never read and learn about Islam. Non-Muslims will only understand about Islam by looking at the actions of the Muslims. In my opinion, it is hard for the non-Muslims to believe that Islam is a religion of love by looking at the actions of the Muslims. What is the true teaching of Islam? Islam teaches the Muslims to love all the non-Muslims and not to hate the non-Muslims. Islam teaches Muslims to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah with love and affection. According to the teaching of Islam a person who never recite the Great Kalimah will never become successful in this world and hereafter and a person who never recites the Great Kalimah will never enter paradise and will never obtain the salvation (syafaat) of the Prophet Muhammad saw. A true Muslim will love the non-Muslims. When Muslims have become the true Muslims, the Muslims will love the non-Muslims in their hearts and when the Muslims love the non-Muslims in their hearts, the Muslims will invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. Nowadays the Muslims are not having the love of the non-Muslims in their hearts and because of that; the Muslims are not inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. In my opinion, nowadays the Muslims in the whole world are not inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah in the way done by Prophet Muhammad saw, because the Muslims are not having the love to the non-Muslims in their hearts.
Allah loves men and all of His creations. Allah wants men to love Allah. Allah wants men to obey all the orders of Allah and to become successful in this world and the hereafter. Allah has created men with His own hand. As compare to all the other creations of Allah, Allah loves men the most. Allah has created men as His best creation. Allah has created men with His own hand and Allah loves whatever He has created. Who does not love things, which they have created? Everyone loves the things, which they have created. Similarly, Allah who is the creator of men loves men and all the other creations, which are created by Allah. Allah has created men for Him and He has created all the other creations to serve men. Allah wants the whole mankind to become successful in this world and the hereafter. In order for men to become successful men must obey all the orders of Allah in the way shown by the Prophet Muhammad saw and with the intention to please Allah.
