A good way to die...! Death is a painful truth. Everyone will have to taste it one day. No one will stay in this world forever. When the angel of death comes and takes possession of our souls, we will become dead bodies in the eyes of the people of this world.

Death is a painful truth. Everyone will have to taste it one day. No one will stay in this world forever. When the angel of death comes and takes possession of our souls, we will become dead bodies in the eyes of the people of this world. Whatever we have done in this one piece of life in this world, we will start to see the results in the life of the grave. If we do good, we will get good results. If we do bad, we will get bad results. The first destination of the hereafter is the grave. And the life of the grave begins with death. The eternal life beyond begins. Death can come at any moment.

 Allah says in this regard, ‘No one knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no one knows where he will die.’ (Surah Luqman, verse 34). Allama Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) explained this verse, ‘Every moment of every living being, including humans, is like the moment of its death. That is why the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘O people! Prepare for death before it comes.’ (Mustadrak Al-Hakeem, Hadith No. 8949). Some deaths shake the world. They plunge every person into a sea of ​​grief. And some deaths give people relief. They put an end to oppression and tyranny. A poet wrote, ‘You will form such a life/You will laugh at death, and the world will cry.’ A good death requires a planned life. And for this, Allah’s mercy or special kindness is needed. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “When Allah wants good for a servant, He makes him worthy.” The Companions asked, “O Messenger of Allah! What is worthy?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Allah makes that person worthy of Paradise by giving him the ability to do more good deeds before death.” (Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 2142)

In another hadith, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “When Allah wants good for a servant, He gives him strength.” The companions asked, “What kind of strength?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, “The strength to do more good deeds.” (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 17819). An Arab poet said about death, “Life is the name of a few blinks.” That is, the period from birth to death is as short as the blink of an eye. Therefore, what a wise person should do is to make the most of the time and prepare for a good death. The greatest preparation for death is to engage oneself in good deeds and refrain from evil deeds. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Run towards good deeds, before the trials descend like a dark night.” (Muslim, Hadith No. 328). A believer will have this good idea about Allah that He will definitely reduce the suffering of his servant at the time of death. Because Allah will treat him as he thinks about Allah. In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah says, ‘I act according to the opinion of My servant about Me. I am with him.’ (Bukhari, Hadith No. 7405). In another Hadith, Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said, ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say three days before his death that all of you should die with a good opinion of Allah.’ (Muslim, Hadith No. 7121).

 

By remembering death more, one can also prepare for a good death. One of the great benefits of remembering death more is that worldly attachment is removed from the heart and thoughts and deeds of the Hereafter increase. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Remember death, which destroys all enjoyments and pleasures, more often.’ (Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 2307). Another way to remember death is to visit graves. Visiting graves reminds one of death and the Hereafter. It creates in the heart an idea of ​​the horror of the punishment of the grave. Through this, it helps one repent from wrongdoing and prepare for death. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘I forbade you from visiting graves before, so visit graves from now on. For it brings detachment from this world and reminds one of the Hereafter.’ (Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 1571).

 

The first thing that comes to the mind of a person through visiting graves is the pressure of the grave. Ammazan Hazrat Aisha Siddiqah (RA) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, ‘The grave will press everyone. If anyone could have escaped the pressure of the grave, then my beloved companion Saad ibn Mu’adh would have survived.’ (Musnad Ahmad and Bayhaqi Sharif). Jabir ibn Abdullah (RA) narrates, ‘After placing Saad in the grave, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) recited Subhanallah, Allahu Akbar several times. We also recited Tasbeeh along with the Prophet. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, ‘The grave of this righteous Saad had become narrow. After reciting Tasbeeh, Allah has widened his grave.’ (Musnad Ahmad and Tibrani Sharif). The Companions and Tabi’een were always afraid of the pressure of the grave. Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "Of all the hadiths we heard from the Messenger of Allah, the most terrifying was the hadith about the pressure of the grave. Especially when the great companion Saad could not escape the pressure of the grave, we were always worried about what would happen to people like us." (Musannif Abdur Razzaq).

O Allah! Grant us the ability to prepare for a good death. Death is inevitable for every human being who is born. We always pray to the Creator for death so that He may make the pain of death less for us. May we die believing in the belief that Allah is One and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last Prophet and Messenger of Allah.  Amin.

 

 

Scientists will spread diamond powder into the atmosphere to cool the Earth!

Scientists could make a bold and valuable effort to combat the climate crisis. Diamond dust could be sprayed into the atmosphere to cool the Earth, a study has found!

 

Although it may seem absurd, according to a research paper published in ‘Geophysical Research Letters’, 5 million tons of diamond powder per year can significantly reduce the temperature of the world. When shiny diamond powder falls on the sunlight, it will be largely reflected and go out of the atmosphere. As a result, the heat will also decrease. This is the idea expressed in the research paper.

The researchers believe that if this process can be carried out for more than 45 years, then this process can reduce the temperature of the earth by about 2.9 degrees Fahrenheit. However, implementing this plan is not as easy as it seems. This is what some scientists think. Because the whole process is both costly and labor-intensive.

Researchers estimate that it would cost about $2 billion to spread diamond dust over 45 years to reduce global temperatures. That's why many people think that spending so much money on speculation and testing is completely unreasonable. However, researchers argue that this cost is nothing compared to the alarming pace at which the climate crisis is currently escalating in the world.

The researchers also believe that all possible experiments should be conducted to combat climate change, no matter how unrealistic they may seem. According to the paper, the process of spraying diamond dust into the atmosphere is known as ‘stratospheric aerosol injection’. The whole thing falls under the umbrella of ‘solar geoengineering’.

This process disperses tiny particles into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption.

The researchers were also studying the effects of releasing other aerosols, including sulfur, into the atmosphere, in addition to diamond dust. Experiments were being conducted to determine which materials would work best in real-world situations.

 

Allah has honored man!

Humans are the best creatures in creation. The Creator wants humans to express gratitude to Allah for this characteristic of theirs. Allah wants humans to be independent of anyone except Allah. Humans should have self-respect. Allah is the provider of sustenance to all living beings, including humans. However, He says, ‘We have honored the children of Adam.’ (Surah Bani Israel, verse 70) It is not pleasing to Allah that humans refrain from seeking their livelihood and turn to others, thinking that Allah will provide sustenance. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) himself did business for his livelihood.

From Hazrat Adam (AS) to the Messenger (SAW), all 124,000 or 224,000 prophets and messengers worked for a living. Prophet Zakariya (AS) used to work as a carpenter to provide for his family. Companion Abdur Rahman Awf ibn Malik said, "We were seven, eight or nine in the court of the Messenger (SAW).

The Holy Prophet said, "Will you not take the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah? We have just taken the oath of allegiance at Aqabah." So I said, "O Messenger of Allah! We have taken the oath of allegiance to you." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said again, "Will you not take the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah?" We then extended our hands and said, "O Messenger of Allah! We have taken the oath of allegiance to you. Now what oath shall we take again?" The Holy Prophet said, "Take an oath to this effect - that you will worship Allah alone and associate no one with Him. You will pray five times a day and obey the leader." Then the Holy Prophet said something secret in a low voice, and that you will not ask people for anything. The Companion said, "I saw some of them, even if their stick fell, they would not ask others to give it to them." (Riyaz Salihin, Muslim) A person reaches out to others only when he fails to fulfill his own needs. Reaching out to others does not do justice to self-respect. Sawban (RA) said, “Once the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, ‘Who will take responsibility for me in such a way that he will not ask people for it, and I will take responsibility for Paradise for him?’ I said, ‘I will.’ (From then on, Sawban (RA) did not ask anyone for anything.)” (Riyaz Salehin)

 

An example of the importance given to human dignity in Islam is a hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Narrated by Sahl ibn Saad, Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) said to the Prophet (peace be upon him), ‘The dignity of a believer lies in his nightly Tahajjud prayers and his honor lies in his not being dependent on people.’ (Musdatrake Hakim) The Prophet (peace be upon him) urged his followers to be self-reliant. He discouraged begging. He urged them to turn their begging hands into working hands. Narrated by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him); he said, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘It is not permissible to beg except for three people: 1. A person who is in dire need 2. A person who is in debt and 3. A person who is obligated to pay a painful blood money (dyat)’ (Abu Dawud in Mishkat). A man from the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and begged for alms. He asked him, "Do you have anything in your house?" He said, "I have an expensive blanket, part of which I put on my body and the other part I spread out, and a wooden cup from which we drink water." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Bring both of these things to me." When he brought them, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took the blanket and the cup in his hand and said, "Is anyone willing to buy these two things?" A man said, "I am willing to buy them for one dirham." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said two or three times, "Who can give more than one dirham?" A man stood up and said, "I am willing to give two dirhams."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave him the two dirhams. He gave them to the Ansar man and said, "Go and buy food with one dirham and feed your family. And buy an axe with the other and bring it to me." The Ansar man bought the axe and brought it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He put a wooden handle on it with his own hand and said, "Go and cut wood and sell it." The man went and cut wood as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had told him. After 15 days, he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he had 10 dirhams. He bought some of it for clothes and some for food. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him, "(Earning through hard work) is better for you than asking for help from others, because the shameful mark of begging will be a scar on the face on the Day of Resurrection." (Abu Dawud, Musnad Ahmad and Ibn Majah). The Prophet (peace be upon him) himself worked hard for his livelihood. He advised the believers to earn their living through lawful means so that they would not be dependent on others. We should all follow his example.

 

Islam is a religion of moderation!

The Almighty God says in the Holy Quran, ‘Thus have We established you as a moderate nation.’ (Surah Al-Baqarah, verse-143). The Holy Prophet (PBUH) declared, ‘I have been sent to adopt the straight path, not to adopt the extreme path.’

Almighty Allah also said, ‘Adopt easy and do not be harsh. Islam is indeed easy and no one will make it difficult except the transgressors.’ If the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was given the right to choose between two things, he would take the easy one. He said, ‘Give glad tidings and do not spread hatred.’ (Some narrations of Sahih Bukhari). ‘Allah Almighty commands, ‘Do not exaggerate in religion.’ (Surah An-Nisa, verse-171). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘O people, beware of exaggeration in religion. Those before you were destroyed because of exaggeration in it.’ (Ibn Majah). Islam is a religion of peace and humanity. 

 

Islam is a religion of peace and humanity. There is no place for extreme methods, militancy and terrorism, and corruption in this religion. Islam does not support subversive activities at all. Creating an unstable environment and a frightening situation is a strictly punishable crime in Islam. Islam came to fly the white dove of peace in a turbulent world. Islam encourages moderate behavior in the implementation of family, social and state life systems and religious rules. Islam supports harmonious treatment of all ethnic groups and peaceful coexistence. This religion is a symbol of peace and harmony. No mainstream movement of Islam has been conducted through external forces. This religion has spread worldwide through forgiveness, generosity and moral ideals. The Almighty God has said in various verses in the Holy Quran, ‘Do not transgress the limits. Indeed, Allah does not love the transgressors.’ (Surah Baqarah, verse-190).

 

Adopting moderation in life and religion is the directive of Islamic Sharia. The risk of danger is less in adopting moderation. Just as it is easy to rise to a higher level if you are in a middle position, it is not difficult to descend to a lower level. Adopting moderation and the unique ideals of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in the propagation of Islam is the demand of the time. In the current context, taking a strict stance and adopting extreme approaches is a suicidal step. Therefore, we all must firmly believe in being inspired by the ideals of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), the guide to the liberation of humanity, regardless of our differences. Religious people must be called upon to be vigilant and aware in preventing extreme approaches. We must call for peace, order and adopting moderation.

 

Conflict and warfare are essentially a satanic cycle. Islam does not support quarrels and corruption. This religion is a symbol of equality, humanity and generosity. Islam has taught orderly and brotherly behavior. Quarrels and divisive policies are an anti-social act. As a result, family and social cohesion and unity and harmony are destroyed. The bonds of kinship are severed. A black shadow of unrest descends on individual, family and social life. Violence, murder, terrorism and corruption spread due to excess. The most heinous crimes such as immoral behavior and obscene speech are rampant. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has called those who use obscene language hypocrites. The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) has encouraged people to avoid quarrels and warfare for legitimate reasons. It was narrated from the companion Abu Umama Al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “I am the guardian of a house in the heart of Paradise for the one who refrains from arguing even though he is in the right. I am the guardian of a house in the middle of Paradise for the one who avoids lying even when he is curious. I am the guardian of a house in the highest part of Paradise for the one whose conduct is good.” (Abu Dawud-Sahih)

 

It is sad but true that at present, individuals, families, societies, countries and the world are spreading a warlike attitude. Those who would establish peace and order are busy today in the guise of war. Everyone is engaged in competition for victory and defeat and in enmity and hatred. Those whose duty it was to extend a helping hand in times of danger are today conspiring to kill people. We must adopt a liberal policy. We must acquire a mentality of concessions for the purpose of establishing peace and order. We must avoid all kinds of despicable excesses and inhuman conspiracies to kill people.

Human civilization changes with the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad (Sm)

Take a look at the world of 1400 years ago. In this case, leave aside the tall buildings, the piles of gold and silver and the glittering clothes. These can be seen even in old photo albums and lifeless museums, but rather see if humanity was awake then? From east to west, from north to south, look, see if the pulse of humanity is found anywhere and whether there was a response of life in it? In the sea of ​​life, big fish used to eat small fish. In the forest of humanity, tigers, leopards, goats and deer were eaten indiscriminately, bad people prevailed over good people and low-nature people over respectable people, instinct prevailed over conscience and intelligence, the urge of the stomach prevailed over the demands of the soul.

 

But there was no protest, no anger against this anarchic situation in the entire world. The entire world had become an immovable rock. The king, the vizier, the rich and the poor, all were frozen. Everyone was being sold for money.

 

There was no one who would encourage the buyer of humanity. Who would call people and say, this environment is not enough for our salvation, this whole world and its life are small compared to our ambition. For we were created for an eternal life. How can we sell our souls for this temporary life and the small building of this limited world? Nation and state, ahead of this community and tribe, beyond this increase neighborhood and family; people are divided into small groups.

 

People with great ambitions, who made great claims about their own abilities and dignity, had also become accustomed to a circular life. There was no resentment or resentment within anyone. No one could imagine humanity in a wider scope than this. All the joys and pleasures of life were caught in the web of deceit and fraud. Humanity had become a lifeless corpse.

 

In which there was no vitality of life, no feeling of the heart and no warmth of love. The roof of humanity was covered with weeds and grass. Which was full of bloodthirsty birds, poisonous thorny trees and terrible animals. Only humans were not seen. Those who were still human at that time, they went into the caves, hid themselves in the tops of mountains, inns and places of worship. They closed their eyes from the world of life and were absorbed in their own welfare.

 

And then, a warm flow of blood began in this cold body of humanity, a sensation appeared in the veins and the pulse of life appeared in the body. The bird that had been nibbling on this body thinking it was dead, and had been breeding on its roof, their house shook. Ancient Sirat researchers have described that the dome of the palace of the Persian Emperor Kisra collapsed and the fire in the fireplace went out. Modern historians write that the internal vibration of humanity caused vibrations in its exterior. A new life was created in the body of human civilization due to the arrival of Muhammad (peace be upon him). Who arrived in the heart of the civilized world, the holy Mecca.

The message he gave to the world brought all kinds of spaciousness and tranquility to human life. No one before or after him could shake the foundations and foundations of humanity as history has witnessed. His message was ‘La ilaha illallahu Muhammadur Rasulullah’ (There is no god worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah). No other word could have dealt such a great blow to the stagnant world of thought. As a result, it became angry and said, ‘Has he taken many gods as one god? This is indeed a most astonishing thing!’ (Al Quran; Surah: Sawad, verse: 5)

 

As a result, they began to think that this was a deep and well-planned conspiracy against their current way of life. Therefore, it must be resisted. It is said, “Their leaders turned away and said, ‘Go away and continue in the worship of your gods. Indeed, this is a deliberate matter.’” (Al Quran; Surah: Sawad, verse: 6)

 

This call for monism completely changes the picture of life and humanity, which affects the entire structure of thought and the entire pattern of life. The essence of this call was that the world is not a forest of weeds and weeds that grows by itself, but a garden carefully cultivated by the gardener. Man is the most precious flower in this garden. This flower is the capital of thousands of gardens. It is not a purposeless object that will lie in a dirty state without care. Only his Creator can give the value of man's humanity. There is limitless prayer, ambition, a brave heart, a restless heart within man; it is not possible to calm him down even with the whole world. This motionless world cannot walk with him. He needs eternal life and an infinite world. In front of which this earthly life is a drop and the world is like a child. Compared to the happiness and prosperity there, the happiness and prosperity here is nothing, and compared to the suffering there, the suffering here is nothing.

 

The intellect and conscience of the world had become so useless that it could not think of anything beyond matter, feelings, body and stomach. They had made some criteria based on these and measured everything in the light of them. Their criteria were resources, leadership, kingship, women and luxury. They wanted to measure Muhammad (peace be upon him) with this criterion. But they understood that he had no interest in these. What he wanted was something greater than these. That is the salvation of mankind in this world and the hereafter. He did not want to create an artificial paradise for himself on this earth. He wanted to make mankind who came from paradise enter the eternal paradise forever. He did not want any leadership and kingship, he wanted to free people from the slavery of the world and make them obedient to the king. Through this, he showed mankind the futility of the world and the search for eternal life.
