Id-ul Adha celebration at Babupura, Imphal :: 27 October 2012 :: Pix - Bunti Phurailatpam

Respected Readers,

In the fashion of Islamic manner, shall greet you in Islamic greeting "May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon them all"

At the outset, in the beautiful names of Allah, Al-Rahman -one of Islam's 99 beautiful names of Allah is "The Merciful" and Al-Rahim - one of Islam's 99 beautiful names of Allah is "The Compassionate".

"In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Ever Merciful"

"No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but recorded in a decree before we bring it into existence: That is truly easy for Allah:" (LVIl: 22)

"Existence":

(The fact or state of existing, the way of living)
“To Him is due the primal origin of the heaven and the earth: When He decreeth a matter, He said to it: "Be" And it is. (2:117)

The previous verse told us that everything in heavens and earth celebrates the glory of Allah lest anyone should think that they themselves are creatures of Allah's will and design.

“That is Allah, your Lord! There is no god but He, the creator of all things: Then worship Ye Him: And He hath power to dispose of all affairs." (6:102)

Where the word "Bada'a" is use here for the creation of the heavens and the earth, and "khalaga" is use for the creation of all things. "Bada'a" goes back to the very primal beginning, as far as we can conceive it. The materialists might say that "primeval matter was eternal:" other things i.e. the forms and shapes we see them now, were called into being at some time or other, and will perish, when they perish, they dissolve into primeval matter again, which stands as the base of existence. We go further back we say that if we postulate such primeval matter.

It owes its origin itself to Allah, who is the final basis of existence? The cause of all causes is that, if this is conceded, we proceed to argue that the process of creation is not then completed. All things in the heaven and on the earth "are created by gradual processes. In "things" we include abstract as well as material things. We see the abstract things and ideas actually growing before us. But that also is Allah's creation, to which we can apply the word "Khalaga", for in it is involved the idea of measuring, fitting it into a scheme claim sanctity for themselves? Nay-but Allah Doth Sanctify whom He pleaseth But never will they fail to receive justice in the least little thing.

The sanctimonious or self-sanctified people are the farthest from sanctity or purity, which can only proceed from Allah. They cannot play with Allah's Truth and yet go on claiming to be guided and purified or justified by Allah. Their falsehood in itself condemn them: no further proof is needed of their selfishness and evil. Literally, the small skin in the groove of a date stone, a thing of no value:

“He who created the heavens and the earth and all that in between, in six long periods, And is firmly established on the Throne (of authority): Allah Most Gracious: Ask thou, then, about Him of any acquainted (with such things)." (XXV: 59)

The creation of six long periods refer in XII: 47, illustrating that a day in the sight of Allah is like a thousand years of our recanting and in, LXX: 4, the comparisons in with 60,000 of our years. In the history of our material earth, we may reckon six great epochs of evolution. The significance of the figure six will be discussed in connection with XII: 9-12, where the matter is referred to in mere detail.

“Say: is it that ye deny Him who created the earth in two Days? And do ye join equals with Him? He is the Lord of (all) the world. He set on the (earth), Mountains standing firm, High above it, and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measured therein, all things to give them Nourishment in due proportion in four Days, in accordance with (the need of) those who seek (sustenance)." (XLI 9-10)

“Moreover, He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together), in willing obedience". So he completed them as seven firmaments in two days, and He Assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And we adorned the lower heaven with lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the decree of Him the Exalted in Might, full of knowledge. (XLI: 11-12)

Evolution:(The process by which different kinds of living organism develop from earlier forms}

"On Falsification Test"

In the possession of, in the verse, No.9, Allah created the earth in two days? In verse 10, Four Days mentioned, and then two Days mentioned in verse 12, Of Sura XLI, we get a total of eight Days. But, we see Sura VII: 54, mentioned in six Days: and XXXII: 4. "Four Days" verse 10, to include the two Days in verse 9, So that the Holy Quran Sources "A sudden accident or a natural catastrophe that causes great damage or loss of life or Sudden misfortune "Unlucky Event" but there are worse crises and misfortunes in the spiritual world, which are of equal or great importance to man's future. The consequences that follow are in accordance with the laws and plan decreed by Allah beforehand. Say, "Truth has now Arrived, and falsehood Perished, For Falsehood is (by its nature) Bound to perish. (17:81),

And, O ye who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: For Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lust (of your hearts), lest ye serve, and if ye Distort (justice), Verily Allah is well-acquainted will all that ye do. (4:135)

Here, I draw a relevant verse of Allah's Book, from the Holy Quran. 'I am hoping that in this verse virtue of men are in complete, so we may seek for Allah and hopefully, you will gain Mercy.

“And Slacken not the following up the enemy: if ye are suffering hardships. They are suffering similar hardships; but ye have hope from Allah, while they have none. And Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. (4:104)

"Off dancing question"

Peace!... This until the rise of Morn! (XCVII: 5)
