Answer:
True Guidance
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and who-ever He
allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there
is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!)
worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is
His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
All Praise is due to Allah Alone, Who has guided us to the
deen of Islam. We sincerely thank you for your kind words and supplications to
Allah, and pray that Allah keep you and us all on this deen of Islam until our
very last breath. May He guide us to do
deeds that are pleasing to Him, may He accept our humble and weak-efforts in
the propagation of his deen of Truth, may He forgive us our sins and
short-comings and save us from the torment of the Hell Fire. Ameen.
We encourage you to ask us any questions pertaining to
Islam, and we will endevour to answer them by giving evidence from the Holy
Quran and the authentic traditions of the Prophet (saws), Insha Allah. We ask for no reward and no appreciation for
our service; we do this only for the pleasure of our Lord, and look towards Him
Alone for all our needs.
My beloved brother in Islam, we humbly invite you to help in this cause and mission that Allah
has made a duty unto every believer: To
invite mankind to this beautiful deen of Islam. We humbly urge you to invite your family, your relatives, your
friends, and whomever you know the clear guidance and teachings of the Holy
Quran. It will be huge source of
earning reward from Allah when you ultimately meet with your Creator, and Insha
Allah, we pray that He will be pleased
with you and us all on that Inevitable Day.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 66 Surah Tahreem
verse 6:O you who have believed, save yourselves and your families from a Fire
whose fuel shall be men and stones; over which shall be appointed fierce and
stern angels, who never disobey Allah’s Command, and they only do as they are commanded!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale
Imran verse 110:You (muslims) are the best community which has been raised for
the guidance of mankind. You enjoin what
is right, and forbid what is evil and you all believe in Allah Alone.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 49 Surah Hujaraat
verses 10:The believers are the brothers of one another; so set the relations
right between your brethren and fear Allah.
It is expected that you will be shown Mercy.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 58 Surah Mujadalah
verse 22:They (the believers) are of the party of Allah. Truly it is the Party
of Allah which will achieve True Success.
May Allah reward you and us with contentment in this
world, and honor you and us all with His Mercy, Grace, and Forgiveness in
the Hereafter. Ameen.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
