Our Duty As A Believers

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah,  They are habitual listeners to falsehood, devourers of things forbidden. If, then, they come to you for judgment, judge between them or turn aside from them. And if thou turn aside from them, they cannot harm you at all. And if thou judge, judge between them with justice. Surely, Allah loves those who are just. And how will they make you their judge when they have with them the Torah, wherein is Allah’s judgment? Yet, in spite of that they turn their backs; and certainly they will not believe. Surely, We sent down the Torah wherein was guidance and light. By it did the Prophets, who were obedient to Us, judge for the Jews, as did the godly people and those learned in the Law; for they were required to preserve the Book of Allah, and because they were guardians over it. Therefore do not fear men but fear Me; and barter not My Signs for a paltry price. And whoso judges not by that which Allah has sent d...

But his mind induced him to kill his brother, so he killed him and became one of the losers. Then Allah sent a raven which scratched in the ground, that He might show him how to hide the corpse of his brother. He said, ‘Woe is me! Am I not able to be even like this raven so that I may hide the corpse of my brother?’ And then he became regretful. On account of this, We prescribed for the children of Israel that whosoever killed a person — unless it be for killing a person or for creating disorder in the land — it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and whoso gave life to one, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind. And Our Messengers came to them with clear Signs, yet even after that, many of them commit excesses in the land. The reward of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive to create disorder in the land is only...

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah,  Allah said: ‘Verily, it shall be forbidden them for forty years; in distraction shall they wander through the land. So do not grieve over the rebellious people.’  And relate to them truly the story of the two sons of Adam, when they each offered an offering, and it was accepted from one of them and was not accepted from the other. The latter said, ‘I will surely kill thee.’ The former replied, ‘Allah accepts only from the righteous. ‘If thou stretch out thy hand against me to kill me, I am not going to stretch out my hand against thee to kill thee. I do fear Allah, the Lord of the universe. ‘I wish that thou shouldn’t bear my sin as well as thy sin, and thus be among the inmates of the Fire, and that is the reward of those who do wrong.’  – Al-Quran 5: 27-30. Narrated By Ibn 'Umar(RA) : Allah's Apostle said, "A faithful believer remains at liberty regarding his religion unless he kills...

O you who believe! fear Allah and seek the way of approach unto Him and strive in His way that you may prosper. Surely, if those who disbelieve had all that is in the earth and as much over again, to ransom themselves therewith from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it would not be accepted from them; and they shall have a painful punishment. They will wish to come out of the Fire, but they will not be able to come out of it, and they shall have a lasting punishment. And as for the man who steals and the woman who steals, cut off their hands in retribution of their offence as an exemplary punishment from Allah. And Allah is Mighty, Wise. But whoso repents after his transgression and amends, then will Allah surely turn to him in mercy; verily, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.  Dost thou not know that Allah is He to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth? He punishes whom He pleases and forgives whom He pleases; and Allah has power to do all things. O Messe...

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim :  In the Name Allah the gracious, the Merciful. These are they who have preferred the present life to the Hereafter. Their punishment shall not therefore be lightened, nor shall they be helped   in any other way . And truly, We gave Moses the Book and caused after him Messengers to follow in his footsteps; and to Jesus, son of Mary, We gave manifest Signs, and strengthened him with the Spirit of holiness. Will you then, every time a Messenger comes to you with what you yourselves desire not, behave arrogantly and treat some as liars and slay others? They said: ‘Our hearts are wrapped in covers.’ Not only that, Allah has cursed them for their disbelief. Little is that which they believe. And when there came to them a Book from Allah, fulfilling that which is with them — and before that they had prayed for victory over the disbelievers — yet when there came.      Evil is that for which they have sold their souls: that...

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim :  In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. And they say, ‘What! when we are lost in the earth, shall we then become a new creation?’ Nay, but they are disbelievers in the meeting of their Lord. Say, ‘The angel of death that has been put in charge of you will cause you to die; then to your Lord will you be brought back.’  If only thou couldn't see when the guilty will hang down their heads before their Lord, and say, ‘Our Lord, we have seen and we have heard, so send us back that we may do good works; for now we are convinced.’ And if We had enforced Our will, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word from Me has come true: ‘I will fill Hell with Jinn and men all together.’ Al Quran, 32, 11-14.   Lalbagh Fort, Bangladesh

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim : In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.                                                                                 ‘Our Lord, make us submissive to Thee and make of our offspring a people submissive to Thee. And show us our ways of worship, and turn to us with mercy; for Thou art Oft-Returning with compassion and Merciful.  ‘And, our Lord, raise up among them a Messenger from among themselves, who may recite to them Thy Signs and teach them the Book and Wisdom and may purify them; surely, Thou art the Mighty, the Wise.’  And who will turn away from the religion of Abraham but he who is foolish of mind? Him did We choose in this world, and in the next he will surely be among the righteous.  When his Lord said to h...

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim : In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, And whoso of you cannot afford to marry free, believing women, let him marry what your right hands possess, namely, your believing handmaids. And Allah knows your faith best; you are all one from another; so marry them with the leave of their masters and give them their dowries according to what is fair, they being chaste, not committing fornication, nor taking secret paramours. And if, after they are married, they are guilty of lewdness, they shall have half the punishment prescribed for free women. This is for him among you who fears lest he should commit sin. And that you restrain yourselves is better for you; and Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful. Allah desires to make clear to you, and guide you to the paths of those before you, and to turn to you in mercy. And Allah is All- Knowing, Wise. And Allah wishes to turn to you in mercy, but those who follow the...

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, And if you desire to take one wife in place of another and you have given one of them a treasure, take not aught therefrom. Will you take it by lying and with manifest sinfulness?   And how can you take it when one of you has been alone with the other, and they (the women) have taken from you a strong covenant? And marry not those women whom your fathers married, except what has already passed. It is a thing foul and hateful and an evil way. Forbidden to you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and your fathers’ sisters, and your mothers’ sisters, and brother’s daughters, and sister’s daughters, and your   foster -mothers that have given you suck, and your foster-sisters, and the mothers of your wives, and your stepdaughters, who are your wards by your wives unto whom you have gone in — but if you have not gone in unto them, there shall be no sin upon you — and the wives of ...

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim : In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds. So their Lord answered their prayers, saying, ‘I will not allow the work of any worker from among you, whether male or female, to be lost. You are from one another. Those, therefore, who have emigrated, and have been driven out from their homes, and have been persecuted in My cause, and have fought and been killed, I will surely remove from them their evils and will cause them to enter Gardens through which streams flow — a reward from Allah, and with Allah is the best of rewards.’ Let not the moving about of the disbelievers in the land deceive thee.  It is a small and brief advantage, then Hell shall be their abode. What an evil place of rest!  But those who fear their Lord shall have Gardens through which streams flow; therein shall they abide — an entertainment from Allah. And that which is with Allah is still better for the...

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim : "Bismillaheer Rahmaneer Raheem" In the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of the night and the day there are indeed Signs for men of understanding;  Those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and ponder over the creation of the heavens and the earth: “Our Lord, Thou hast not created this in vain; nay, Holy art Thou; save us, then, from the punishment of the Fire. “Our Lord, whomsoever Thou causes to enter the Fire, him hast Thou surely disgraced. And the wrongdoers shall have no helpers. “Our Lord, we have heard a Crier calling us unto faith, ‘Believe ye in your Lord,’ and we have believed. Our Lord, forgive us, therefore, our errors and remove from us our evils, and in death number us with the righteous. “Our Lord, give us what Thou hast promised to us through Thy Messengers; and disgrace us not on the Day of Resurrection. Surely, Thou breaks not Thy promise.” – Al-Qu...

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim : "Bismillaheer Rahmaneer Raheem" And surely Allah has heard the utterance of those who said, ‘Allah is poor and we are rich.’ We shall record what they have said, and their attempts to kill the Prophets unjustly; and We shall say, ‘Taste you the punishment of burning.’ That is because of that which your hands have sent on before yourselves, and the truth is that Allah is not at all unjust to His servants. Those who say, ‘Allah has charged us not to believe in any Messenger until he bring us an offering which fire devours.’ Say, ‘There have already come to you Messengers before me with clear Signs and with that which you speak of. Why, then, did you seek to kill them, if you are truthful?’  And if they accuse you of lying, even so were accused of lying Messengers before you  who came with clear Signs and Books of Wisdom and the shining Book. And whoso seeks a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the...
