Abubakar before I start commenting, I have moral responsibility to condole you and your wife for loosing part of the most important people in the history of your lives. We pray that their final abode is Al-Jannah. May Allah give you and your wife the fortitude to bear this great lost.<br />Many things we do today thinking that they are ibadah are really not. Because of the way those things are practiced or the personalities involved, one may think that those things are part of Islam. Some times when preaching to non-Muslims, one cannot help it without saying to them: “do not look at Muslims but read their books”. Of course, many of us are not representing the religion but our culture.<br />A lot used to be spent on activities that have no clear connection to Islam. Innovations regarding funeral and what relates to it are good examples out of many. Other examples include; marriage, Naming walimah Hajj and Umrah (which I recall you once wrote about in a title Hajj is not Picnic). <br />We have to be ready to be enemies of many because of our steadfastness. This is a manifestation that the religion of Islam is now a new thing and who ever tries to practice it in a right way is indeed a stranger. Imam Tirmizi reported on the authority of Amr bin auf that Allah’s messenger (PBUH) said: “Indeed this religion begins as a new ideology and it (the religion) will be a strange thing like the way it started. Good tidings to those who accept to be strangers; and these are those who revive what people have changed (or left) from my sunnah after my death”<br />We pray that Allah will give us the strength to practice his religion in the right way without fear.<br />May Allah reward you for this piece. It is indeed a good reminder.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240046141313195649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8122230937476826479.post-32194348035009725772013-03-23T12:29:48.873-07:002013-03-23T12:29:48.873-07:00May Allah SWT grant him Janatul firdaus.
