 Assalaamu 'alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu

 Excerpt from "Meeting Allah" by Khurram Murad in "Assalaamu Alaikum"
 (Summer 1421):

 "... The abundance of Allah's Rahma or Mercy will not come without
 pure actions.  Pure actions, however, when performed, will make us
 deserving of Allah's Mercy.  This, in turn, will enable us to earn
 the delights of Jannah and His pleasure.  The Qu'ran proclaims: Call
 on Him with fear and longing.  Surely Allah's mercy is ever near to
 the doers of good. (Al-Araf 7:56).  The Messenger of Good also said:

 'No one will be saved (from the Hell-fire and admitted into Paradise)
 by his deeds alone,'  When asked, 'Not even you, O Messenger of
 Good!', he said, 'Yes, not even me, unless Allah covers me with His
 mercy.  So do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately in the
 morning, in the afternoon, and during part of the night.  Always
 remember moderation and always abide by moderation.  Thus you will
 reach your destination.' (Bukhari, Muslim)

 Be reassured that Allah is not vengeful God, ready to punish, but
 rather, one who is full of Mercy and Compassion.  He, Himself has
 declared: My Mercy encompasses all things. (Al-Araf 7:156) ..."
 WE MUST DO AMR BIL MARUF WA NAHI ANIL MUNKR(COMMANDING GOOD AND FORBIDDENING
EVIL) WHEREVER WE ARE!!!

 WE CANNOT SIT BACK OR BE SILENT SPACTATORS ABOUT WHATS GOING ON AROUND US.
WE MUST STAND  AND SPEAK UP AGAINST ALL KINDS OF OPPRESSION AND EVILS WHICH
ARE HAPPENING AROUND US. THEN WE SHOULD EXPECT THE RAHAM OF ALLAH(swt).

 "O you believe answer the call of Allah(swt) and His Messenger(saw) to that
which gives you Life."(8:24) >>
