TRUE MUSLIMS (I)

Muslims do not buy, use, listen to, read or look at the harmful things which Allâhu ta’âlâ prohibits. They do not harm anybody. They do not respond to base behaviour in kind. They are always patient. They give advice with a sweet tongue and a smiling face. Muslims try to learn, teach and do the things which Allâhu ta’âlâ commands. They search for knowledge even if it is possessed by disbelievers. It has always been so in the course of history; those who could not think of mankind as a superior being have borne hostility against the Islamic religion, have tried to deceive youngsters and, at a time they did not expect at all, they themselves died, leaving their worldly pleasures, which they had been clasping so tightly, and went to Hell. The names of many of them have been forgotten, with no fame, no sign of them having remained behind them, whereas the Islamic sun has continued to spread its light all over the world.

Our Prophet ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ says: “A person who respects practisers of bid’at (i.e., those who do and teach as worship words, writings, ways, and deeds that did not exist in the time of our Prophet and his four Khalîfas but were made up and developed later in Islam), who praises them when they are alive or dead, and who deems them great, in fact, helps Islam to be demolished, to be eradicated from the world.”
