Muslim

On By FalakIn WritingLeave a comment

Ever wondered why the followers of Islam are called Muslims?

“Islam” is derived from the Arabic word “sal’m” which. literally means peace. When the “Mu” prefix is attached to a root word in Arabic (in this case sa’lm), the resulting noun means “a person who does that particular thing”.

A Muslim is someone who submits with peace in their heart, having complete Tawakkul (trust in God’s plans) in Allah (SWT) The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

Inner peace cannot be forced, so no one can force you to become a Muslim, nor can they entice you. Intention of the heart along with proclamation of the faith is a requirement of being a Muslim.

“ Let there be no compulsion in religion…” [Qur’an 2:256]

Log Kya Kahenge

Don’t stay in an abusive relationship because of log kya kahenge. #Domesticviolence is oppression and #oppression is never allowed in Islam.

It is important to know and understand that Islam does NOT permit men to hit women. The Prophet (PBUH) never understood or acted on the controversial verse of hitting one’s wife as a physical act but rather a symbolic gesture of SAYING I am upset. Marriage is meant as a mercy between two souls not oppression.

“And one of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find comfort in them. And He has placed between you compassion and mercy.” Qur’an (30:21)

No judgment

Don’t judge someone because they sin differently from you.

Just because your sin is hidden while theirs isn’t doesn’t make you a better person. Just be thankful you haven’t been put in their situation. You don’t know what they could be going through. By judging you could actually be piling on more sins.

“When you were propagating it with your tongues, and uttering with your mouths that whereof you had no knowledge, you counted it a little thing, while with Allah it was very great.” (Quran 24: 15)

The Prophet (PBUH) said: “…He who covers a believers mistakes or shortcomings in this world, Allah will cover him in this world and the Hereafter…” #inshallah #Ameen

Not yours

It isn’t about ‘My land’ or ‘Your land’, but rather, ‘We are a part of this land’, and will someday return to it.

“From this very earth We created you and to the same earth We shall cause you to return, and from it We shall bring you forth to life again.” (Qur’an 20:55).
