  
The Holy Qur'an
Surah
75:20-21 (Part 6)
1.
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
2. And I do call to witness the self-reproaching
Spirit.
3. Does man think that We cannot assemble his
bones?
4. Nay, We are able to put together in perfect
order, the very tip of
his fingers.
5. But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time
in front of him.
6. He questions: "When is the Day of
Resurrection?"
7. At length, when the sight is dazed
8. And the moon is buried in darkness
9. And the sun and moon are joined together that
Day will Man say;
10. "Where is the refuge?"
11. By no means! No place of safety!"
12. Before the Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of
rest.
13. That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and
all that he put back.
14. Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
15. Even though he were to make excuses.
16. Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an), to make
haste therewith.
17. It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
18. But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its
recital:
19. Nay more, it is for Us to explain it:
20.
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
21.
And leave alone the Hereafter.
22. Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and
beauty) -
23. Looking towards their Lord;
24. And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
25. In the thought that some backbreaking calamity was about
to be inflicted on them;
26. Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collarbone (in its
exit),
27. And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to
restore him)?"
28. And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
29. And one leg will be joined with another:
30. The Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
31. So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray! -
32. But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
33. Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
34. Woe to thee, (O man!), yea, woe!
35. Again, woe to thee, (O man!), yea, woe!
36. Does Man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
37. Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
38. Then did he become a clinging clot;
Then did (Allah) make and fashion
(him) in due proportion.
39. And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
40. Has not he, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?

"The
Khartoum, Sudan-based National Islamic Front (NIF) - the political
umbrella organization to which AIM answers - did not take long to look
for the appropriate solutions for the challenges in Bosnia-
Herzegovina. . .
Being a theologically driven movement, the NIF supreme
leadership sought legal precedents to serve as a guideline for the
nature of jihad which they believe should be waged in Bosnia,
Palestine, and Kashmir. In mid-August 1995, Khartoum informed the AIM
senior officials in the front line - in such places as Sarajevo,
Muzzaffarabad (Pakistan), and Damascus - of the precedent found.
The NIF leadership pointed to the text of "fatwa"
originally issued by the Islamic Religious Conference held in El-Obaeid,
State of Kordofan (Sudan), on April 27, 1993. It is presently used in
Khartoum, at the highest levels of NIF, as the precedent-setting text
for legislating relations between Muslims and non-Muslims in areas
where the infidels are not willing to be simply subdued by the Muslim
forces. The following places - Palestine, Bosnia, and Kashmir - are
stated explicitly as areas to where the principles outlined by this
fatwa are most applicable. . . .
"Therefore, the rebels who are Muslims and are
fighting against the Muslim state are hereby declared kaffirs
(infidels) who are standing up against the efforts of preaching,
proselytization, and spreading Islam into Africa. However, Islam has
justified the fighting and killing of both categories without any
hesitation whatsoever..." states the fatwa."

So the angels made
obeisance, all of them together,
But Iblis (did it not); he refused to be with those who made obeisance.
He said: O Iblis! what excuse have you that you are not with those who make
obeisance?
He said: I am not such that I should make obeisance to a mortal whom Thou
hast created of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.
He said: Then get out of it, for surely you are driven away:
And surely on you is curse until the day of judgment.
He said: My Lord! then respite me till the time when they are raised.
He said: So surely you are of the respited ones
Till the period of the time made known.
He said: My Lord! because Thou hast made life evil to me, I will certainly
make (evil) fair-seeming to them on earth, and I will certainly cause them
all to deviate.
Qur'an
15.30-39
(Allah) said: "Get thee down from this: it
is not for thee to be arrogant here: get out, for thou art
of the meanest (of creatures)."
He said: "Give
me respite till the day they are raised up." (Allah) said: "Be thou among those who have
respite."
He said: "Because thou hast thrown me
out of the way, lo! I will lie in wait for them on thy
straight way: "Then will I assault them from before
them and behind them, from their right and their left: Nor wilt thou find, in most of them, gratitude (for thy
mercies)."
(Allah) said: "Get out from this,
disgraced and expelled. If any of them follow thee,-
Hell will I fill with you all."
Qur'an
7.13-18
Many factors will bring on the disbelievers remorse; their
meeting with Allah's punishment, watching their skins
testify against them, sensing the terror of eternal
suffering, seeing Hell and, comprehending the damnation
that is awaiting them. But the worse offenders on Earth
will see that Satan, whose path they followed
consistently, also has deserted them. The Qur'an recounts
what Satan will tell his followers on that Day in the
following words:
When the affair is decided, Satan will say: "Allah made
you a promise, a promise of truth, and I made you a
promise but broke my promise. I had no authority over you,
except that I called you and you responded to me. Do not,
therefore, blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot come
to your aid, nor you to mine. I reject the way you
associated me with Allah before." The wrongdoers will have
a painful punishment. (The Holy Qur'an, 16:22 Ibrahim)
Christian fundamentalists such as Pat
Robertson call themselves Christians while preaching hatred and
intolerance which is the exact opposite of the love and tolerance which is
the foundation of Christianity. The same is true of Islamic
fundamentalists and slam, the religion of peace and submission. We must be aware that it is not Islam, but of those who
distort it into hatred, that call for Jihad. We must beware not of
religion, but of those who hide their evil under its cloak. Terrorists and
religious fundamentalists are of the same stripe: They serve not God, but
fulfill the promise made by Iblis that "I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to
them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong."
(The Holy Qur'an
15.32-39 Al-Hijr)
These followers and defenders of extremists and fanatics will be bothered and concerned
more about
triumphing in the temporary world than striving with all their heart, mind
and soul for the eternal Hereafter. Those deluded by Iblis will be fighting, maiming, blowing and killing
fellow beings in the name of jihad.
Before Allah the
unbelievers will be extremely angry at their situation and
furious with the people who led them away from His path.
They will be furious with their leaders, who led them away
from His path. The dispute between those who led and those
who followed is revealed, as follows:
When those who were followed disown those who followed
them, and they see the punishment and the connection
between them is cut, those who followed will say: "If only
we could have another chance, we would disown them just as
they have disowned us." In that way Allah will show them
their actions as a cause of anguish and remorse for them.
They will never emerge from the Fire. (The
Holy Qur'an, 2:166-67
Al-Baqara)
They will say on the Day their faces are rolled over in
the Fire: "If only we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the
Messenger!" And they will say: "Our Lord, we obeyed our
masters and great men, and they misguided us from the Way.
Our Lord, give them double the punishment and curse them
many times over!" (The
Holy Qur'an,
33:66-68 Al-Ahzab)
Allah points out that such leaders are one of the factors
that lead people away from the Straight Path. These
religious fundamentalist have an enormous influence over
their followers. Those who submit to these leaders are
often deceived into performing evil deeds and thus waste
their lives, unable to recognize their mistakes on Earth.
When their misdeeds are exposed on this Day, they will
begin to blame one another. Regardless of these
accusations for being led astray, neither party will be
saved from Hell.
Allah describes such leaders in the following terms:
We made them leaders, summoning to the Fire, and on the
Day of Resurrection they will not be helped. We pursued
them with a curse in this world. (The
Holy Qur'an,
28:41-42 Al-Qasas)
If someone shuts his eyes to the remembrance of the
All-Merciful, We assign him a devil who becomes his bosom
friend-they debar them from the path, yet they still think
they are guided-so that, when he reaches Us, he says: "If
only there was the distance of the two Easts between you
and me!" What an evil companion! It will not benefit you
today, since you did wrong, that you share equally in the
punishment. (The
Holy Qur'an,
43:36-39 Az-Zukhruf)
The Call of Resurrection is now announced, and every individual is
responsible for confirming Allah's Call and Universal Message with their
own senses of comprehension. They may either announce or denounce His
Universal Decree.
The Mighty War which will divide the True Believers (Al-Mu'minun)
from the rest of humanity has now begun. The Good News
will force husband to part from unbelieving wife, mother
from skeptical child, brother from doubting sister,
friends from incredulous friends. They will desert those
who reject the Good News.
Again it much be repeated that the only Sacred Sanctuary is
meditating within, a solitude task Prophet
Muhammad regularly performed in a
cave at Mount Hira outside Medina prior to
revelation. The Ummah must recognize this great sign that
it was while
Prophet Muhammad was meditating that Angel
Gabriel appeared with the greatest revelations to
humankind. It will be in the solitude of meditation that
the Believers will be able to cleanse heart, mind and soul
of all impurities.
There is no absolutely
salvation in the corrupted temples, churches, synagogues, mosques and
shrines who will resist Allah's Good News of Qiyamah
during the Night of Power!
Those who accept the Sure Signs (Bayyinat) of this universal Call
will be looking towards their Lord. They will be the True Believers (Al-Mu'minun).
May they never ever forget that Allah only allowed Iblis
freedom to mislead till the time of the Resurrection is
made known: "He said: So surely you are of the
respited ones till the period of the time made known."
(The Holy Qur'an 15:37-8). Those who surrender and submit
to the Will of Allah to begin the Resurrection will know
that they are indeed free from Iblis who has mislead
humanity for centuries.
All Unbelievers (Al-Kafirun) and rejecters of His
Grace and Compassion of this Great Announcement, and those
who continue continue killing, butchering, massacring and
massacring in His name will be bound for the Eternal Fire.
Be cautioned fools and fanatics, be cautioned!

LAA
UQSIM BI-YAWM AL-QIYAMAH;
WA-LAA UQSIM BI-AN-NAFSAL-LAWWAAMAH
I do
call to witness the Resurrection Day;
And I do call to witness the
self-reproaching Spirit.
Of what
are they asking one another?
(Is it) of the Great Announcement, about which they
have been differing?
They will indeed come to know soon;
They will indeed come to know soon.
