These are all metaphorical descriptions, so they shouldn't be taken literally. I thought it was interesting enough to post, I certainly enjoyed reading it.


Roadmap To Paradise

Take Adam and Eve Avenue until you come to the intersection of Habil (Abel) road and Qabil (Cain) street; merge right on Habil (Abel) and continue for the next twenty miles until you come to Noah's Ferry.

Take the ferry to Safety Land, ignore the majority of other travel agenciesʼ directions, and arrive at Abraham's Super Highway also known as Highway One God Only (1).

Follow Abraham but avoid the exit of Sodom and Gomorrah townships, until you get to Moses lane but pass Gold and Greed bridges and take it to Jesus' Mercy road. Here you will encounter a lot of confusion, streets are not well marked, and many peddlers along the road are giving away maps with conflicting directions to travelers. The Romans have renamed Pagansʼ path as Jesus' mercy road.

If you are not sure about the authenticity of Jesus' mercy road, review your map. See if Jesus' mercy path is a continuation of Abrahamʼs Super Highway. If it is a continuation you are fine, but still proceed with caution. If you have diverged, make a U-turn and go back to Abrahamʼs Highway (1) and try again.

Continue on True Jesus' road, if you do not see the following signs along the path, you should stop and review your map again. Maps for this path have been tampered with, we recommend the Barnabas edition street map to get to the Unity of God congregation, Immaculate conception corner, and Love thy neighbor community center.

Avoid showing the Roman Traffic police your Barnabas street map; it is banned, they will confiscate it and you will be forced to use the only authorized official map - the Paul street map which was drawn to direct the motorists to Rome. For that reason there is a lot of lost traffic on this road. On the other hand True Jesus road is found on the Barnabas street map, but only few people have access to this map.

Keep on Jesus' Mercy road until you find Muhammadʼs (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) Sunnah
Expressway. Stay on this expressway and do not be lured to rest areas along the expressway. Beware of the highway robbers, by insuring your vehicle with Dhikr security systems. All vehicles secured with Dhikr Security Systems will be protected from assaults by robbers (Satan).

Make sure that you have enough fuel. The highest grade fuel for this long and tiring trip is the Taqwa grade fuel. Make sure you demand this brand when you stop for refueling. Lighten the load on your vehicle, carry only the most important items for this trip: two meters of white cloth, good deeds and prayers of your kids is all you need. Excess weight is allowed only if it is more of the above. Other items will only slow you down or cause you to lose sight of where you are heading, and you risk losing the coverage of Dhikr Security systems, thereby becoming an easy target for the Robbers.

You need to check your vehicles safety features periodically by reading your vehicles manual - the Holy Quran. Your steering wheel must be calibrated by the Sunnah Calibration method, batteries must be charged with Iman, the engine needs to be tuned up with Ikhlas and your tires must be properly inflated with Ihsan. Most important of all, you must test the entire vehicle with the Tawheed check list.

It does not matter if most parts of your vehicle are performing right, if a single part in your vehicle does not perform according to specifications of Tawheed (its conditions) your vehicle will break down and again the robbers will rob you of what is left. The overall performance of your vehicle depends on the performance of the weakest part in your vehicle, so routinely check these weak points, they may be detrimental to your trip.

There are many milestones on Muhammadʼs road, and these milestones will assure you that you are on the right track. Do not worry that there are not any people o

Most of us get distracted and bring lots of worldly thoughts and problems into our mind when performing salah. When performing salah, why not try imagining the things below:

Imagine!

It has been said that the Holy Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) has said that whilst you are praying: Imagine that all the prophets are on your right side, all the angels on your left, heaven in front of you, hell below you, the angel of death at your back and Allah (subhanahu wa Ta'ala) watching over you.
Imagine how revered a prophet is, that an entire chapter of the Holy Qur'an may be dedicated to him, imagine their position in heaven right now.

Imagine 124,000 of them all lined up on your right side whilst you are praying. How then can you be distracted?

Imagine the sacredness of an angel. Every human being has been allocated two of them for accounting of his deeds. Every cloud moves because Allah (subhanahu wa Ta'ala) has ordered an angel to that function.

Imagine the light from which each one of them was created, and all of them (much more than 6 billion) assembled on your left side listening to you praying. How then can you be distracted?


Imagine hell!

In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah says that hell will have seven levels with fires, which eat each other! In each level, there are valleys of fire, cities of fire, castles of fire, houses of fire, rooms of fire, wells of fire, serpents of fire, oceans of black poison containing thousands of scorpions of fire, each one in turn having seventy thousand tails of fire. In reality, hellish fire is much hotter than earthly fire, and hell is unimaginably much worse this description.


Imagine heaven!

In Hadith Qudsi, Allah says that heaven will have eight gates with thousands of gardens, thousands of cities of pearls, thousands of palaces of Ruby, thousands of rooms of gold, thousands of tables and of plates of jewels, thousands of kinds of food, thousands of thrones of red gold around each of which thousands of rivers will flow with life water and pure honey. On top of each palace, there will be thousands of gifts from the Merciful, which have not been seen by any eye, heard by any ear and are beyond our imagination.

It has been said that in spite of all this pleasure, if the residents of heaven were shown the punishment of someone who did wrong for just one hour on earth, they would scream out with fear. And in spite of all their discomfort, if the residents of hell were shown the reward of someone who did good for only one hour on earth, they would forget they are in hell!

Now imagine this hell beneath you and the open doors of heaven in front of you whilst you are praying. How then can you be distracted?

Imagine the angel of death behind you, the angel that appears as a beautiful person at the deathbed of one who is favoured by Allah and as fierce creature that pulls the soul out as if it were a cloth being dragged amongst sharp thorns for one who is disfavoured. Imagine this angel just at your back whilst praying. How then can you be distracted if you are not even sure that this might be your last prayer?

And finally imagine the Creator of all that has been mentioned in the previous paragraphs, one who has created an almost infinite universe of which earth is only a very tiny insignificant bit, and more insignificant are we who live in it. How then can you be distracted if the Lord of existence is watching above you whilst you are offering prayers to Him?

The Best of mankind and the seal of the prophets is being mocked at and they are calling it "Freedom of Press/Speech" but the muslims need to understand the the reason behind publishing cartoons on the news. As we all know, the prophet went to da’if (small city in Saudi Arabia) and the polytheist threw stones at him till he bleed, and the angel of Mountains brought him a message that if he desires, Allah will destroy them by bringing the mountains together and crashing them.

Here are some tips of how to show your love to Our beloved prophet (peace be upon him)


1. Practicing his Sunnah

If we really love the prophet (peace be upon him) and we say he is our role model, then what is preventing us from practicing his sunnah and way of life. By letting our beard grow and trim the mustache is sign of loving the prophet.



2. Spread his Biography(Seerah)

By giving away books that talk about the life of our beloved prophet (pbuh), we can eliminate the misconceptions that people have about him. And those people who are offending him will only get mad because they brought this topic to the light and now people are going and learning about the life of this Great man. Also if you don’t know enough about our prophet (pbuh), Now it’s the time get educated.



3. Sending Greetings

We hear the name of the prophet(pbuh) everyday, but we fail to say "Salalahu Alayhe wasalam" (Peace be upon him). The prophet said in hadith "The miser/mean is the one who hears my name mentioned and does not seek blessings for me.” (Reported by At-Tirmidhi)



4. Write On Blogs

You have a blog right? then why not write your reaction towards this cartoon issue on it ,OOH.... wait, you can also copy this and paste it in your blog or page. our time, the idea of blogging has an impact on people's personal view. many people depend on the internet as their number one source for news and entertainment, we muslims must be the number one bloggers that are the source for the muslims and non-muslims when it comes to islam in general. If you don't have a blog, don't worry you can create yours just to defend islam by clicking here.



5. Making a video

If you really love the prophet you don't have to make unnecessary threatening videos, instead try to convince people that Islam is a peaceful religion but we cant take this insult on the prophet every day. please make videos that state how Muslims feel about such cartoons. Videos are important because we use them to educate people from ignorance about the prophet's life, manners, his greatness (sallahu alliehi wassalam). there are many hosting video websites, some of them are:



Youtube

Google

Eyespot

Grouper

Revver

VideoEgg

and More





6. Lectures about the Prophet (pbuh)

Obviously your community have a Masjid, and you go there to pray salat Jumma or any other prayer. To support the prophet(pbuh), ask the managers of the masjid to focus the life of the prophet(pbuh) and educate people. It would be better also if the masjid start lessons for the youth, and anyone who interested to learn about the prophet and his sunnah.



We Ask allah to grant us patient, and shower us his mercy.



Anything wrong about this article is from me and satan, and Anything right are from Allah and his messenger.
