Punishments for neglecting jihad for the sake of Allaah

The command to wage jihad for the sake of Allaah, and the warning against neglecting jihad, appear in many verses of the Qur’aan and ahaadeeth.

If the Muslims neglect jihad for the sake of Allaah, and prefer a life of ease, and focus only on this world, they will face humiliation and scorn, and all their affairs will be corrupted. They expose themselves to the wrath and anger of Allaah, and they expose Islam to loss and defeat at the hands of kufr. Hence neglecting jihad is a major sin.

Ibn Hajar said in al-Zawaajir: 

The 390th, 391st and 392nd major sins are neglecting jihad when it becomes an obligation, which is when aggressors enter the Muslim land or when they seize a Muslim, and it is possible to rescue him from them and the people neglect jihad altogether and when the people in a region neglect to fortify their borders so that there is a risk of the kuffaar overrunning them because of that.” end quote.

Hence it was well known and well established among the Sahaabah that no one refrains from taking part in jihad when it becomes fard ‘ayn (an individual obligation) except one who is weak and is therefore excused or one who is a hypocrite.  This is what was narrated by Ka’b ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) when he stayed behind from the campaign of Tabook: “When I came out to the people after the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had gone out, I went around among them and was distressed to see no one except a man who was known to be a hypocrite or weak men whom Allaah had excused.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4066; Muslim, 4973.

The evidence also states some of the punishments that result from that. For example: 

1 – Neglecting jihad leads to doom in this world and in the Hereafter. 

In this world the craven coward is humiliated and enslaved, he is a follower, not a leader. In the Hereafter, neglecting jihad will be a cause of Allaah's punishment. 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And spend in the Cause of Allaah (i.e. Jihad of all kinds) and do not throw yourselves into destruction (by not spending your wealth in the Cause of Allaah), and do good. Truly, Allaah loves Al-Muhsinoon (the good-doers”
[al-Baqarah 2:195]

al-Tirmidhi (2972) narrated that Aslam Abu ‘Imraan said: We were in the city of the Byzantines (i.e., Constantinople) and a great troop of the Byzantines  came out to us. One of the Muslim men attacked the Byzantine ranks until he penetrated them, and the people shouted and said “Subhaan-Allaah, he has thrown himself into destruction.” Abu Ayyoob al-Ansaari stood up and said: “O people, you misinterpret this verse in this way; rather this verse was revealed concerning us, the Ansaar. When Allaah caused Islam to prevail and its supporters increased, we said to one another in secret, without speaking to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): ‘Our wealth is neglected. Allaah has caused Islam to prevail and its supporters have increased. Why don’t we stay with our property and improve it?’ Then Allaah revealed Qur’aan to His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), refuting what we had said: “And spend in the Cause of Allaah (i.e. Jihad of all kinds) and do not throw yourselves into destruction” [al-Baqarah 2:195]. This destruction was our staying with our property to improve it, and neglecting to fight (in jihad). Abu Ayyoob never stopped fighting for the sake of Allaah until he was buried in Constantinople. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

It says in Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi: 

This hadeeth indicates that what is meant by throwing oneself into destruction is taking care of one’s family and wealth at the expense of jihad.

2 – Neglecting jihad is a cause of humiliation and scorn 

Abu Dawood (3462) narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “When you engage in ‘aynah transactions (a kind of transaction intended to circumvent the prohibition on riba or usury), and you take hold of the tails of oxen and you are content with agriculture (at the time when jihad is obligatory), and you give up jihad, then Allaah will send upon you humiliation that will not be dispelled until you return to your religion, Allaah will send upon you humiliation that will not be dispelled until you return to your religion, Allaah will send upon you humiliation that will not be dispelled until you return to your religion.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

Our Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) indeed spoke the truth, for the one who looks at the state of the Muslims today will see that they have become very careless about their religion. They consume riba and they are focused on this world, and they have neglected jihad for the sake of Allaah. And what is the result? Allaah has subjected them to humiliation, and they turn to the east and to the west, humiliated and lowly, asking them for support against their enemies, and they do not realize [?] that this humiliation will not be lifted from them until they go back to their religion as the truthful Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said. 

Allaah has indeed spoken the truth: 

“Give to the hypocrites the tidings that there is for them a painful torment.

Those who take disbelievers for Awliyaa’ (protectors or helpers or friends) instead of believers, do they seek honour, power and glory with them? Verily, then to Allaah belongs all honour, power and glory”

[al-Nisa’ 4:138-139 – interpretation of the meaning]

3 – Neglecting jihad is a cause of Allaah's punishment in this world and in the Hereafter 

Abu Dawood (2503) narrated from Abu Umaamah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever does not fight or does not equip a warrior or support the family of a warrior in his absence, Allaah will strike him with calamity before the Day of Resurrection.” Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

Al-Qaari’ah (translated here as calamity) means a disaster that occurs suddenly. 

And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allaah (i.e. Jihaad) you cling heavily to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared to the Hereafter.

If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and will replace you by another people; and you cannot harm Him at all, and Allaah is Able to do all things”

[al-Tawbah 9:38-39]

The punishment of which He warns them is not only punishment in the Hereafter, rather it is punishment in this world and in the Hereafter, the punishment of humiliation that befalls those who do not engage in jihad, the punishment of being deprived of the good things from which the kaafir enemy benefits. In addition to all of that, those who forsake jihad will lose more lives and more wealth than would be lost in jihad, and they offer more sacrifices than those required to retain their honour and dignity. No ummah forsook jihad but Allaah sent humility upon them, thus the cost was far greater than that that may have been required in jihad against the enemy.

 Al-Zilaal, 3/1655.

Al-Sa’di (may Allaah have mercy on him) said (p. 532): 

“O you who believe” do you not know the requirements of faith, which is that you should hasten to obey the command of Allaah and to seek His pleasure, and to fight His enemies in jihad for the sake of your religion? So “What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allaah (i.e. Jihaad) you cling heavily to the earth?” meaning, why are you so lazy and so inclined towards this world.

“Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter?” Your case is that of those who are content with this world and who strive for worldly purposes, caring nothing for the Hereafter because they do not believe in it. 

“But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world” towards which you are inclined and which you prefer. Hasn’t Allaah given you reason with which to weigh up matters and see which deserves to be shown preference? 

Is not this world – from beginning to end – as nothing in comparison to the Hereafter? 

What is a man's lifespan in comparison to the lifespan of this world, so as to make worldly gain his ultimate goal and concern and restrict all his efforts and focus to this short life that is filled with distress and risk?

How can you possibly prefer it to the Hereafter which includes every kind of delight that a person could desire, where you will abide forever? No person who prefers this world to the Hereafter has faith rooted in his heart and he cannot be regarded as a man of wisdom and understanding. Then Allaah warns them if they do not march forth, as He says: 

“If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment” – in this world and in the Hereafter, for not marching forth when ordered to do so is a major sin that deserves the most severe punishment, because it causes a great deal of harm, because the one who stays behind(from jihad) has disobeyed Allaah and done something that He has forbidden, and he has not helped to support the religion of Allaah or to protect the Book of Allaah and His Law. He has not helped his Muslim brothers against the enemy who wants to uproot them and eradicate their religion.  Perhaps others who are weak in faith will follow his example, and he may even discourage those who are involved in fighting the enemies of Allaah. Thus he will be like those whom Allaah has warned of a severe punishment: “If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment” Allaah has promised to support His religion and make His word supreme regardless of whether you obey the command of Allaah or not. 

“and Allaah is Able to do all things” He is not incapable of doing anything that He wants, and none can overwhelm Him.

We ask Allaah to bring the Muslims back to their religion and to remove humiliation from them. 

And Allaah knows best.

Hug Vs Cuddle

A hug is a near universal form of act/reaction or be an expression of feelings (such as close friendship, love,) which people have for one another. in which two people put their arms around the neck, back, or waist of one another and hold each other closely. If more than two persons are involved, this is referred to as a group hug.

Cuddling is a related form of physical intimacy in which two people hold one another with each person's arms wrapped around the others body. Similar to hugging, cuddling is a more affectionate and intimate embrace, normally done for a longer period of time. Cuddling is usually shared between two people who are lying down together or sitting somewhere in an intimate manner.

Step 1: Intention

Firstly, it is important not to let your hugee get caught off guard. Don’t just run up to someone and hug them without letting them know your intention as this will come across as if you’re about to grope them. They may feel you’re going for their undies and not realize you’re hugging them.
Instead, open up your body with your hands about 20cm apart, ensure your right-hand is higher than your left-hand and lean back slightly. In doing so you may initially look like you are about to perform some Euro-techno robot dance, but rest assured that the hugee will see that you’re approaching them to hug, and not to dance.
Step 2: Your Head
Tilt your head to the left, letting your hugee know where you’re going otherwise you could both end up approaching each other and accidentally kissing. We wouldn’t want a situation where you re-enact a scene from Brokeback Mountain.
Step 3: Embrace
Step in towards your fellow man, your right-hand will go over their shoulders, with your head going to the left of theirs.
Your measure of sincerity is shown by you firmly gripping them into your hands.
If you fail to firmly grip, you’ll end up in a floppy, half-hearted attempt that will make you look like a retard at a hugging convention. Keep your head straight, facing forward.
WARNING: If you look down or incline towards your hugee, this may seem inappropriate and look like you’re smooching.

Step 4: How long do I hug?
The hugging timeline depends on how comfortable you are, but realistically, a second or two is fine. If it’s a family member or a best friend, it may be much longer. However, be careful. Staying longer in this compromising position may make you uncomfortable and catch the eye of girls passing by, meaning that, instead of thinking you’re cool, they would think you swing the other way.
Step 5: Making the embrace a ‘Man-Hug’
At the moment you probably feel as though this hug is as camp as an Elton John on pills. But don’t worry, what makes the hug ‘man-ly’ is the Pat. The pat is the most crucial part and separates the boys from the men. Lift your right hand up (not like you’re hailing Hitler) and firmly pat the back of your hugee. This shows you’re a man, and the harder you pat, the more masculine you are.
Step 6: Step back
You’ve now completed the man hug. But knowing how to complete your step back is important. After patting your hugee three or four times, smartly move away, lifting your hands and stepping back.

WARNING: Do not slide your arms slowly across your hugee’s body or arms in a lethargic manner, otherwise you will leave your friends confused as to your hugging intentions. If this occurs, and you cannot avoid it, RUN!
Step 7: Finishing off
You have now completed the first 6 steps of the perfect man hug. But to end this in the most appropriate manner, don’t cough, scratch yourself or look scared after hugging. Instead, say something that corresponds with why you hugged like ‘how are you?’, ‘great to see you’, or ‘hey dude, how’s things?’
Well done! You have done it. You’re still a man, and you’ve performed a hug showing your feminine side. You are the beast of the 21^st century. You are the gladiator of the world. You’re the Dude.

Virgin

Virginity is the state of a person who has never engaged in sexual intercourse. There are cultural and religious traditions which place special value and significance on this state, especially in the case of unmarriedpersons , associated with notions of personal purity, honor and worth. Like chastity, the concept of virginity has traditionally involved sexual abstinence before marriage, and then to engage in sexual acts only with the marriage partner.

Within American culture in particular, male virginity has been made an object of embarrassment and ridicule. Sick!

Though most religions disapprove of premarital sexual relations, it has always been bad thing widely practiced.

 

But the truth is people of different faiths the world over tell me above all things, being a virgin at marriage is the greatest thing ever.

   

Surgery shocker

Surgery shocker as female organs found in 

a man in Madhya Pradesh

When 35-year-old Rayloo suffered excruciating pain in his stomach, he decided to get himself admitted in the hospital. After examining Rayloo, doctors at the Chindwara district hospital in Madhya Pradesh suspected a case of hernia and decided to conduct a routine operation.

Doctors found female reproductive organs - ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes and cervix in the man's abdominal cavity.

But the team of doctors who operated upon Rayloo were in for a shock. What they thought to be hernia turned out to be two ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes and cervix - the female reproductive organs. Rayloo, a farmer, hails from Trora village in MP's Betul district. The father of a 14-year-old hadn't suffered any other problems till now.

"Rayloo had been ill and complained of pain in the stomach and the urinary passage. Examinations showed that the patient suffered from inguinal hernias on his left side," resident civil surgeon of Chhindwara district hospital Dr P. K. Shrivastav said.

The medics were of the view that the main cause of Rayloo's extreme pain was inguinal hernias.

Six days after he got admitted in the hospital, Rayloo was put on the operation table. The team of doctors, comprising surgeon Dr V. D. Diwedi, anaesthetist Dr Sonia and assistant nurse Parveen were completely stunned when they discovered the female reproductive organs in Rayloo.

"It was basically a routine hernia repair operation. But when we opened the abdominal cavity, we were surprised to find female genital organs. We found uterus, two ovaries, fallopian tubes and cervix. We have removed the organs through a hysterectomy," Shrivastav claimed.

Rayloo is said to have been as shocked as the doctors.

However, his recovery, according to the medics, is "fantastic" and he will be able to take up routine work in a few weeks.

Doctors said Rayloo's was a case of accidental embryological development. When asked why the patient wasn't menstruating if he had female reproductive organs, Shrivastav explained: "The patient was not physiologically menstruating as the female organs were not fully developed. Moreover, the male genital organs were dominating." Betul district's chief medical health officer (CMHO) Dr S. K. Chauhan said such kind of hysterectomy is extremely rare. "We are looking at the surgical procedure followed in this case", the CMHO added.
