Al-Fatiha [Chronicle Analogies part1]


The wild ocean of the Dunya and the forgotten map to the kingdom of heaven.

Islam's like a ship the passengers are the muslims, and within that ship there are many small boats signifying division with in our ummah, the sharks are the enemies of islam that prevent us from reaching our destination, the fishes are the non muslims, and we need to catch and save as many as we can from shaytan before the sharks catch them, but how can we when our ship is flooded? no one knows whether he will reach the other side of the shore save any more.

Asalamu Alaykum, 


I hope you all are in the best of health and Imaan. Thanks again for joining me on my journey,
are you saying, what your saying, just because your supposed to say it, without any comprehension? 
then you have lost the true blessings of the treasure your holding!

As a gift I'd like to present you all with a treasure map! 

But there is a catch you see, if you want to grab the treasure you will need to meet some requirements, just like a captain needs a team, a looking glass so he can spot his enemies, and most importantly a ship. A Muslim will need the following

  • A map to show us the way and guide us to Jannah(paradise). But don't worry, every body has this map either some where in their home on the Quran, or perhaps they even memorised it!.That's right Al-Fatiha the seven oft repeated verses, the opener of every door and heart, a map to Jannah that every believer must embark upon, but only a few actually look at the map and try to capture its every treasure.
  • A captain, Muhammad[s.a.w.s] of course! follow the sunnah and you will not get lost in the vast ocean.
  • Righteous companions, every body needs loyal companions who are willing to travel with you on this journey, and who long to meet you at the shores of jannah.!
Now your wondering he must be a very merciful Lord to give us a blueprint to jannah right?, not only that he has sent us many prophets as captains to lead us in the right direction, and although they are not here any more, they taught us exactly in which direction we should sail. Warning us of the dangers of shaytan.

                                                                  ..x0x0x..
Jabir reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying: The throne of Iblis is upon the ocean and he sends detachments (to different parts) in order to put people to trial and the most important figure in his eyes is one who is most notorious in sowing the seed of dissension. Sahih Muslim, Hadith 5031)
We as Muslims should be very great full and happy that Allah has saved us from the dangers of the wild oceans of the Dunya, and has rescued us! there are still so many people who are drowning in the ocean of life, and we need to save them, it is up to us to give them the life boat that will reconnect them with the ship Islam.! Don't be selfsih there is plenty of treasure to share for everyone! in fact sharing will only grant you more as the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) says: "he who guides to goodness gets the same reward as he who actually does the good deed" Wouldn't you like to receive double the rewards? =)

Rescue somebody today and give them a life boat ! =]
