Islam: charity,tolerance,not to match up the hurt with the hurt,islam is forgiveness, purity v mind from all dirt, it s open-mindedness,it is peace peace peace...our religion is our spiritual sword against the unjustice v the world, it is our mental shelter it is our means to get divine compensation some other day...islam is acceptance v all the other religions,it is optimism that a betta day is waiting round the corner that tomorrow may not come so do ur best now,it is faioth and strong belief in our Creator, it is a trust that allah never let down a faithful heart!it is anything BUT terrorism, its anything but hatered, it is anything but egoism & hypocrisy...in a sentence ISLAM is more, much more than a mere RELIGION it is simply our life, the reason for which we EXIST!God blessed us with Islam i myself 'a3outhou belleh min kalimet ana}i ll never thank God enough for being muslim!
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
A Christian Mother
Zakaria the son of Ibrahim is a young convert who lives at the time of Imam Sadiq (PBUH). After he performed the Hajj rituals, he visited Imam Sadiq (PBUH) and said, “I was a Christian, and I have converted to Islam.” Imam asked, “What did you see from Islam?”
He replied, “The word of Allah which says “you did not even know what the Book and Faith was, but We have made the Quran as a light by which We guide whoever of Our servants We want.” (1)
Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said, “Truly Allah has guided you.” Then he prayed for him for three times, “O God, guide him”. Then the Imam addressed him, “Ask about whatever you want, young man”.
Zakaria said, “My parents are Christians, and my mother is blind, should I stay and live with them?” Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said, “Take care of your mother, and be kind to her, when she deceases undertake the burdens of her burial by yourself, and do not hand it over to others.”
Zakaria says, “When I returned to Kufah, I treated my mother very kindly, I fed her myself, washed her clothes, and served her. One day my mother told me, ‘Dear son! when you were Christian, your treatment towards me was not like this. How has your behavior changed since you turned to this new religion?”
I answered, “One of the descendants of our prophet has ordered me to do so.”
My mother asked, “Is he a prophet?”
I said, “No, he is the son of one of the prophets.”
My mother said, “My son! This man is a prophet, because his order is the advice of the prophets.”
I said, “Mother, my prophet is the last prophet, and after him, no prophet will be appointed. That man is the son of that prophet.”
My mother said, “Your religion is the best religion, present it to me.” And I presented Islam to her, and taught it to her; and she converted to Islam too, and performed the prayers of the noon, and the afternoon, and the Maghrib, and the evening.
Zakaria says, “In the night, my mother showed a symptom, and got sick. She turned to me and told me, ‘My son, repeat what you taught me.’ And I repeated them. My mother testified to them, and passed away.”
The next day, Zakaria ibn Ibrahim preformed prayer to her mother’s corpse according to the order of Imam Sadiq (PBUH), and buried her.
Imam Sadiq (PBUH) advised Zakaria about her Christian mother as such. Now, how is our today’s relation to this advice by the Imam? Is our behavior toward our parents conforming to the advices of the prophets and their successors?

Hi Motjaba,
I like your message. It is the sequence of things from a thinking until an action which could change your life for better. And the important is the action, without doing something it will not impact anything to our life..
More on Falsification Test
In reference to the falsification tests mentioned earlier, it is interesting to note that they, too, relate to both the past and the present. Some of them were used as illustrations of Allah's omnipotence and knowledge, while others continue to stand as challenges to the present day. An example of the former is the statement made in the Qur'an about Abu Lahab. It clearly illustrates that Allah, the Knower of the Unseen, knew that Abu Lahab would never change his ways and accept Islam. Thus Allah dictated that he would be condemned to the Hellfire forever. Such a chapter was both an illustration of Allah's divine wisdom and a warning to those who were like Abu Lahab.
could you please be more respectable than this nasty tone?!!!!!!
actually we are here not natives, if so why we learn english?!!!. we came here to learn not to be criticized.
" How about we make it a mission that we not only care about our Islam but also the English we use"!!!!!!!!!!
