En lille reminder, som jeg modtog af en vidunderlig søster, som jeg elsker enorm højt for Allah swts skyld, og som jeg synes mine muslimske brødre og søstre også skulle få glæde af og evt. sorg... Det er trods alt en "opdigtet" historie meeeeen vi kan dog ikke erklære denne reminder som afgjort pure opspind, eftersom Quranen og Profeten Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wa Sallam entydigt beretter os om Dommedagen, og vores endelig destination enten Jahannam eller Paradis, og de 5 daglige bønners betydning i hele vores eksistens både i denne verden og i det hinsides..

He remembered his grandmother' s warning about praying on time: 'My son, you shouldn't leave prayer to this late time'. His grandmother' s age was 70 but, whenever she heard the Adhan, she got up like an arrow and performed Salah.

He, however could never win over his ego to get up and pray. Whatever he did, his Salah was always the last to be offered and he prayed it quickly to get it in on time.
Thinking of this, he got up and realized that there were only 15 minutes left before Qaza. He quickly made Wudhu and performed the Salat.

While making Tasbih, he again remembered his grandmother and was embarrassed by how he had prayed. His grandmother prayed with such tranquillity and peace. He began making Dua and went down to make Sajdah and stayed like that for
a while. He had been at work all day and was tired, very tired. He awoke abruptly to the sound of noise and shouting.
He was sweating profusely. He looked around. It was very crowded. Every direction he looked in was filled with people. Some stood frozen looking around, some were running left and right and some were on their knees with their heads in their hands just waiting. Pure fear and apprehension filled him as he realized where he was. His heart was about to burst.

It was the Day of Judgment.

When he was alive, he had heard many things about the questioning on the Day of Judgment, but that seemed so long ago. Could this be something his mind made up? No, the wait and the fear were so great that he could not have imagined this. The interrogation was still going on. He began moving frantically from people to people to ask if his name had been called. No one could answer him. All of a sudden his name was called and the crowd split into two and made a passageway for him.

Two angels grabbed his arms and led him forward. He walked with unknowing eyes through the crowd. The angels brought him to the centre and left him there. His head was bent down and his whole life was passing in front of his eyes like a movie. He opened his eyes but saw only another world. The people were all helping others. He saw his father running from one lecture to the other, spending his wealth in the way of Islam. His mother invited guests to their house and one table was being set while the other was being cleared. He pleaded his case, 'I too was always on this path. I helped others. I spread the word of Allah. I performed my Salah. I fasted in the month of Ramadhan.' 'Whatever Allah ordered us to do, I did.' 'Whatever he ordered us not to do, I did not.' He began to cry and think about how much he loved Allah. He knew that whatever he had done in life would be less than what Allah deserved and his only protector was Allah He was sweating like never before and was shaking all over. His eyes were fixed on the scale, waiting for the final decision.

At last, the decision was made.

The two angels with sheets of paper in their hands, turned to the crowd. His legs felt like they were going to collapse. He closed his eyes as they began to read the names of those people who were to enter Jahannam.

His name was read first.

He fell on his knees and yelled that this couldn't be, 'How could I go to Jahannam? I served others all my life, I spread the word of Allah to others.' His eyes had become blurry and he was shaking with sweat. The two angels took him by the arms. As his feet dragged, they went through the crowd and advanced toward the blazing flames of Jahannam. He was yelling and wondered if there was any person who was going to help him. He was yelling of all the good deeds he had done, how he had helped his father, his fasts, prayers, the Noble Qur'an hat he read, he was asking if none of them would help him.

The Jahannam angels continued to drag him. They had gotten closer to the Hellfire. He looked back and these were his last pleas. Had not Rasulullah [SAW] said, 'How clean would a person be who bathes in a river five times a day, so too does the Salah performed five times cleanse someone of their sins?'

He began yelling, 'My prayers? My prayers? My prayers?'

The two angels did not stop, and they came to the edge of the abyss of Jahannam. The flames of the fire were burning his face. He looked back one last time, but his eyes were dry of hope and he had nothing left in him. One of the angels pushed him in. He found himself in the air and falling towards the flames. He had just fallen five or six feet when a hand grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back.He lifted his head and saw an old man with a long white beard. He wiped some dust off himself and asked him, 'Who are you?'

The old man replied, 'I am your prayers.'

'Why are you so late?! I was almost in the fire! You rescued me at the last minute before I fell in.' The old man smiled and shook his head, 'You always performed me at the last minute, did you forget?'

SubhanaAllah, lad os alle mødes i salah rettidigt...

Natten til fredag den 30. maj...

Huset sov tungt og det samme gjorde resten af Danmark...

En tung nattehimmel havde trukket sig henover hele Danmark og stilhedens kraft havde taget over.. Himmelrummet sov hvilende imod tomheden...
Jeg mærkede gennem mit lille vindue at månen forsøgte at tilhylle den mørke nattehimmel med sit klare måneskin..
I drømmesekvenserne mødtes folk med hinanden medens jeg sad inde på mit lille værelse, hvor mine fingre uafbrudt dansede rundt på computer tastaturet...
Min lyst og dens længsel efter en søvn og drøm forsøgte jeg at holde den tilbage...
Pludselig kørte adhan (kaldet til bøn) på min computer som en trøst til min indre sjæl..
Kl. var 03.00 og morgenbønnen banede vejen til mødet med Skaberen af hele Universet... Kaldet til dagens første møde mellem ham/hende og Skaberen...
Men dette møde er ikke blot for menneskelegemet...
For intet kunne stoppe de øvrige beboere af den frie natur til at tage del i den universelle tilbedelse til Universets Skaber af alt mellem himmel og jord..
Fuglene begyndte pludselig uafbrudt at kvidre løs.. Pludselig føltes træerne besat af en masse kvindrende fugle, som absolut ville tag del i dagens første bøn... SubhanaAllah..

Allah swt siger i Al-Quran:

Seest thou not that it is Allah Whose praises all beings in the heavens and on earth do celebrate, and the birds (of the air) with wings outspread? Each one knows its own (mode of) prayer and praise. And Allah knows well all that they do.
(surah: An-Noor, Chapter 24, Verse 41)

Undertegnede sad hele natten til 30. maj oppe, eftersom jeg skulle færdiggøre en eksamensopgave. Jeg sad oppe hele natten og før jeg kunne følge med var det blevet tid til fajr, dvs. morgenbønnen ved ca. 03.00 tiden. Natten var ellers forløbet enorm roligt ind til adhan (kaldet til bøn) trådte ind... Pludselig kunne jeg høre en masse kvidrende fugle på træet, som står nogle meter fra mit vindue. Her er et lille klip, som jeg optog under den nat da bønnen trådte ind...

Harun Yahya: THE MIRACLE OF TALKING BIRDS

Each and every species on Earth has been created with miraculous characteristics and wondrous skills. Even in one single living species, we can find abundant proof of God's magnificent creation. According to one verse of the Qur'an:

There is no creature crawling on the Earth or flying creature, flying on its wings, who are not communities just like yourselves-We have not omitted anything from the Book-then they will be gathered to their Lord. (Qur'an, 6:38 )

This verse draws our attention to birds which, of all living creatures, are worthy of special consideration and observation. There are approximately ten thousand different species of birds, many of which have miraculous characteristics. Wherever we live, we may encounter many of these creatures and can admire the different aspects of each variety. They exhibit countless examples of the evidence of creation, through their aesthetic appearance, their perfect flying mechanisms, their expertise in migration, their nest-making skills and their self-sacrificing behavior.

Meanwhile, other species of birds are created with a special aptitude for forming social groups. Many varieties live together as a community, warn one another of danger, work collectively to find food and shelter, and make various sacrifices to help each other out in any number of ways. (For detailed information, see Harun Yahya, Devotion Among Animals: Revealing the Work of God). As God pointed out in the Qur'an, these creatures are capable of establishing their own form of communication and performing in cooperative ways the duties inspired in them by God. Some birds distinguish themselves by their superior intelligence and special talents. These particular species are defined as birds that can imitate sounds, include the parrots, songbirds, and hummingbirds. Many of us have heard about, seen on television or even personally witnessed these birds' ability to talk. However, we may not have considered what a great miracle it is that these creatures can mimic in this way, or to the perfection of the way in which God has created them. These creatures' being hatched with their ability to talk or imitate sounds is one of the miracles of creation and, at the same time invalidates the claims of evolutionary theory.

En bruger af youtube.com havde tilføjet følgende sætninger til videoen, som jeg synes er enorm tankevækkende.. Jeg kan kun sige: det er syndt for disse personer, som uafbrudt forsøger at bekæmpe sådan en storslået og velsignet dag ...
Må Allah swt retlede og vejlede os alle fra al ondskab, amin ya Rabbil alemin..

Hafiz Ibn Kathir writes:" On the day of the birth of the Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) Shaytan cried a lot."
[Ibn Kathir, Sirat an-Nabi, 'Birth of the Prophet']

From Ibn Kathir's narration we can see that to feel unhappy on the birthday of the Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) is the way of Shaytan, not the way of a Muslim!

Undertegnede sidder midt i skriftlige eksamensopgaver, men jeg må ærlig talt indrømme at jeg ikke altid kan koble mine tanker fra ham, Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam... Til trods for at jeg sidder midt i en skriftlig opgave, så kører det i baggrunden med poesi, anasheed, breve skrevet til ære for den elskede... Jeg føler at mit hjerte hører til et sted, hvor jeg var i år 2004... Jeg føler at han kan redde mig ud af denne verdens lidelser, som er enorm utåleligt, og det er netop derfor jeg ikke kan lade være med at mindes ham i form af poesi, anasheed, ahadith og diverse beretninger som beskriver vores rose af byen Medina... Han er Universets ideale menneske..

Kan ikke sige andet end: YOU ARE STILL ALIVE IN OUR HEARTS YA RESULALLAH!! :((:::::::::

Mawlid 2006

The rose of Madina

With every breath that we breathe, may we be ever aware of the Divine Presence, the Source of all that we receive.

With every step that we take, may we always honor the Light which guides us, the Source and Nourisher of all of creation.

Every moment of this life is filled with your eternal radiance my Beloved, You are the Beneficent One who endlessly showers all of creation with nourishment and blessings, and the One who generously rewards those who live in harmony with Your Divine Will.

Eller via kalligrafi:

Muslimerne rundt omkring på jordkloden bliver 5 gange dagligt kaldt til de obligatoriske bønner af en mu´adhdhin (personen der kalder til bøn)...

Det er følgende obligatoriske bønner: Fajr, zuhr, asr, maghreb, isha.

Men hvad betyder endelig kaldet til bøn, som 5 gange dagligt runger byerne rundt omkring i de muslimske lande, som i gode gamle dage skete fra hustage eller moskeernes minareter, som er et enestående øjeblik for enhver muslim... Dvs. i gode gamle dage kunne man ud fra moskeernes minareter se mu´adhdhin stå og kalde til bøn, mens størstedelen af mu´adhdhin idag står i selve moskeen, og kaldet så gennem en mikrofon og videre til højtalere som er sat fast på moskeernes minareter..

Ordet Adhan stammer fra rodformen for øre eller kald, og betegner herunder kaldet til bøn (salah).

Før en bøn kan finde sted så kaldes forsamlingen, dvs. folk som skal deltage til den påbegyndende bøn ved adhan. Selve adhan tager 5-15 minutter alt afhængig af hvor meget mu´adhdhin lægger af sine krafter i selve kaldet. Der er nogle mu´adhdhin som læser det enorm hurtigt, mens andre vælger at trække ud i det med en smuk og dybere stemme, som er enestående for lytterne... Jo mere energi der bliver lagt i adhan, jo bedre mulighed får folk som skal deltage til bønnen at nå ud til bønnen inden den starter, i tilfælde af hvis de enten befinder sig på gaden eller derhjemme. Ligeledes giver krafterne der bliver lagt ved adhan, et meget følelsesmæssigt øjeblik for alle og enhver, som er vidne til kaldet til en bøn..
I de muslimske lande hvor der bliver kaldt til bønnen ud fra moskeens minarater, så vil der ofte gå få minutter efter adhan er færdig til selve bønnen påbegyndes. Men i modsætning til Europa hvor adhan ikke finder sted offentligt, så går der ofte få sekunder til folk står op for at påbegynde bønnen, som der er blevet kaldt til.

For at kalde til bøn er det vigtigt at mu´adhdhin stiller sig ved bedestedet med fronten mod Qibla (Makkah), og efterfølgende gør intention om at kalde til bøn.

Når han når det sted i kaldet, hvor han siger: kom til bøn vender han sig en smule mod højre og ved næste sætning, kom til success, vende sig en smule skråt mod venstre. Men ellers er fronten altid mod Qibla under hele kaldet.

På arabisk lyder adhan følgende:

Allahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar
Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allah
Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allah
Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasul Ullah
Ash-hadu Anna Muhammadan rasul Ullah
Hayya 'alas-salah
Hayya 'alas-salah
Hayya 'alal-falah
Hayya 'alal-falah
Allahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar
La ilaha ill-Allah

På dansk:

Allah er størst
Allah er størst
Allah er størst
Allah er størst
Jeg bevidner at der ingen anden gud er end Allah
Jeg bevidner at der ingen anden gud er end Allah
Jeg bevidner at Muhammad er Allahs sendebud
Jeg bevidner at Muhammad er Allahs sendebud
Kom til bøn
Kom til bøn
Kom til succes
Kom til succes
Allah er størst
Allah er størst
Der er ingen anden gud end Allah

Bemærk dog at ved morgenbønnen siger man mellem "Allah er størst" og "Der er ingen anden gud end Allah" ved at tilføje: 2x Assalatu Kharun mi nan-nawm, som betyder: bøn er bedre end søvn.

Den som hører adhan skal besvare kaldet lavmælt ved at sige efter mu´adhdhin.
