An
open invitation to all Americans
Our
earnest request to all Christians.
There are 99 Names Of Allah-The Lord Of The Worlds
& Creator Of All. He Has Introduced Them To Us In The Holy Qur'an, His
Final Book For The Guidance Of All Mankind.
Are you a Business Person?
If You Are A Business Person, Where ever You Go, You Will Carry With You Your Business Card and Introduce Yourself By Presenting This To The Person, You Are Meeting With. Normally The Card Contains A person's Name, Address, Company Name, Type Of Business, Contact No. Etc. And You Suggest Him Or Her To Give You A Call, Fax Or Email Whenever They Need Something. Your Company Sends You To Different People, Organizations etc. As You Represent Them, You Get Paid For doing your Job. Now, God Has Sent Us His Final Prophet, Mohammad (peace be upon him) 1,400 Years Before, In Makkah City. He Represents God Whereas A Representative In His Capacity Represents His Organization And Does His Duty To Being Obedient To His Boss And Bringing in More Business and Development To His Organization.

Prophet Mohammad was one among the Prophets of Allah, Like Adam, Noah, Abraham , Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Yunus, Dawood, Sulaiman, Jesus and Other Prophets (peace be upon them all), Who Represented God Almighty Allah and Introduced the Truth of Allah and Called Mankind To His Path of Success In This Life and In The Next Permanent Life.
God Introduced His 99 Names To Us Through
Muhammad-the leader and the last of the Prophets -peace be upon him, By
Revealing Him - Holy Qur'an-The Final Book Of God which is Above All other Books
Of The World. It Confirms The Truth, The Truth Of Previous Holy Books Of
God, Namely, Torah, Psalms and Gospel that were Revealed by Allah
Himself, before Holy Qur'an.

| What Benefit and Reward We Get By Knowing And
Remembering The 99 Names Of God?:
Said the Final Messenger Muhammad (s) :<<There is a polish for everything and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of Allah>> <<Verily there is a piece of flesh in the body of man and when it is good, the whole body is good; but when it is bad, the whole body is bad and beware; it is the heart>> Well ! What we can think and say being
ordinary human beings on this subject? : As
You Know, If You Plant An Apple, Peach Or Mango Tree And You Sacrifice
Some Of Your Time For It's Maintenance, After Some Years You Will Reap
Some sort of Good Returns. Perhaps, These Trees Give Man Better
Result Than Their Own Children Would Give Back To Their Parents now a
days? Don't Wonder Then! How Much Money A Person Would Have Earned
By Spending A Few Dollars On A Single Apple Tree And Say, In 25 Years Of
Time, How Much Money It Would Earn For The Grower? |
God Declared In The Holy Qur'an That Peace Of Heart Is In His Remembrance.
A person Earns Unlimited Bounties Of God, Which Is Reserved For him Or her By Allah -The Almighty God in The Future-Permanent World After Death. When Man Is Living In This World, He Does Not Realize The Importance Of This. But As You Know, A Dying Person Demands only Water, Even If He Used To Drink Lot Of Alcohol (Perhaps Consumed More of Alcohol than Water Per Day). Now, The Present Generation Is Immersed so much In The Worldly Pursuits, That They Hardly Get Time To Eat and Drink, Even Though They Earn Lot Of Money. To Know What Is Poverty and hunger, You Will Have To Ask A Poor Person. Now, What A Person Could Get By Remembering Allah and Chanting His Names Will Be Realized By a third person Only if He Or She Also Does The Same Act.
Remembrance Of God Is Enjoined On Mankind By God Himself. It Is The Symbol Of Your Faith, Belief, Love And Gratitude To Him. A Person, When He Loves His Wife Or Vice Versa, Would Happen To Forget Him Self, To Such An Extent That Sometimes, Even The People and The World Around Him Are As If Non Existent. He Only Sees Her Everywhere. Now, As We Know that The People Who Love God, Go All The Way In Pursuit Of Attaining God's Love, Like The Bees Who Are Always In Search Of The Nectar For Their Routine Work (producing Honey). Muslims Or Those Who Believe In The True God Allah And Worship Him Only, Are Always Kept On Alert To Obey God And Rush Towards His House Or Mosque When Ever They Hear The Call For Remembering God In The Congregation, Five Times Of The Day. Bees Follow The Path Set For Them By Their Creator Almighty Allah And Muslims Being The True Believers And Servants Of God, Could Not Lag Behind In Performing Their Obligations To God Almighty Allah, The Real Creator and Benefactor Of Mankind. The Broad and True Meaning of Remembrance of Allah in short is His Obedience. We would have to do so many acts daily. We have to see while doing them, whether we are breaking any of His laws or disobeying Him or not? Whether we have fulfilled our obligations unto Him or not? If we obeyed Him, then we were aware of God's Laws and We acted as per God's Guidance being conscious of it's decision with God. Thus We remembered God in that Act.
Now, Here Below Is The Transliteration and meaning In English, Of The Names Of Almighty Allah For The Sake Of The People Who Could Not Read Arabic.

Truth is justified by all means. But by no means, untruth could be justified nor stand in front of Truth.
Being a human being it must be
our first priority to know who is our God and what should be our attitude
towards Him and how could we offer Him His due Respect? If you know the art of
public relationship, you would not like to break the relationship with other
people. You will also be good in your neighborhood and especially with the
people at convenient stores. Because you know, if you want to get good in
return, first you must be good to others. Now, without being good to Allah
Almighty and having a cordial relationship with Him, one can't achieve the Goal
of Life nor can pass the Great Test of Life.
So, today, you can start
your journey unto performing this greatest act.
So, Now, let us know the truth....
Why does a believer worship only Almighty Allah?
Why should he not worship any other object as God?
Answers can be found in the following
article.

This is a common knowledge that before coming on
to this world all of us must go through a period of about nine months inside the
womb of our mothers. We don't know anything about the world and those leaders
and gods whom people worship. Only God Almighty Allah brought us inside the womb
of our mother. Our parents were not of our choice, nor the place of birth and
other factors as well. All was due to the plan of God Almighty Allah
alone. We own nothing in reality. Only Allah owns everything. Even
our name is given to us by others (either our parents or relatives). Then,
truth being so, people try to give God (Allah) peculiar names which are
not His own nor has He approved them. Can anyone call you as blacky, Vicky or
Pinky while they are not your names at all? When people want to
make a slight change to their name, they have to follow the legal procedures and
then make a declaration in the News Papers to this effect. Allah has declared His Names through His
Prophets and now finally we have His Names in His Final Book - 'Al-Qur-an' .
Then there is no reason why should we not accept Almighty Allah as our
God? When there is nothing else to worship, where can we go?

You may find millions of justifications for worshipping Almighty Allah as God, but you will not find one single justification nor right answer, if you have chosen anyone/anything else as god in Allah's place.
Our earnest request to all Christians.
Ask yourself, whether the one you worship (if He
is not Allah) is capable of saving you from such a deadly thing like
nuclear or atomic power? Is he able to save himself from such a huge power?
Christians say Jesus saves, where as
they also say the contradictory thing such as < Jesus was crucified on
the Cross by his enemies?> So they send conflicting message or
signal to the people. If Jesus could not save himself, how can he
save anyone? Only Allah is the Savior and our Protector. They declare that if you believe in him as
the son of God, you will be saved from God's punishment or get salvation.
They argue with muslims that muslims also should believe like this for
salvation. Actually it's exactly the opposite; in the
sense, if you believe Jesus to be son of God, then you put yourself liable
to the deadly punishment of God for ever. Instead of salvation, you will
enter the Burning Fire of Hell. Jesus was only the Prophet of Allah, like other
previous Prophets. Allah created Hell Fire and only He can save or punish
anyone. None can interfere in His Rights. They are only inviting muslims
and others to the Fire of Hell. So, please beware of such dangerous
elements.
This is a glaring fraud being played on innocent
people. Jesus will throw this piece of falsehood on their faces when he is
back before the end of the world (very soon, Insha Allah) and on the Day of
Judgment in front of God Almighty Allah when Moses, Abraham and other Prophets
will also be present and there will be none who would come forward declaring and
supporting this falsehood. Jesus was just a true Prophet
of God Allah, like his cousin Yahya or John (peace be upon them) who was
carrying out God's mission in the Valley of Jordan and was got killed by King
Jerod to please a wicked woman. John or Yahya (the Prophet of
Allah) was six months older than Prophet Jesus. He was appointed as a Prophet at
thirty years of age to preach Allah's message to the people. Now, if they
use their wisdom, they should ask a question: How come
Yahya or John teach, Tawhid or Oneness of God while Jesus preached (?)
Trinity to the same Jewish people? How can anyone preach such
conflicting things to the people in the name of Religion? Do they know
where are they packing them to? Now, if people come
to know, how their parents or grandparents have already been dispatched to Hell
Fire by the relentless efforts of missionaries, will you believe and support
them any more? We muslims don't need your support and
money. You have to save yourselves. Please think in the right
direction. This is our earnest request to all
Christians.
But when you think about Allah, He is above all
things, and nothing could harm Him. He is the Creator and has control over
all things as well. Were He to be weak, then the sun, moon and millions of
stars and the hidden worlds would have never been come into existence at all.

Think about a garden without a gardener!
You see gardens in your city, in the neighborhood etc. Suppose, if the gardener deserts it and then you will see, once, the same colorful, pleasant and refreshing garden in totally unbelievable, unpleasant and pitiful condition. Why? Because there is none to do the up keeping, watering, etc. Now, the same place could not attract people like it did before!
Now if you see from your own eyes that even a small garden needs a lot of work of maintenance and care by the people so that it remains in good condition, then if you take the whole world as a big one single garden, couldn't there be an owner for it? Should he not be a powerful being?
By all means He must be a powerful being, with an immense wisdom to create and keep going the whole system which is quite complex and always on the motion and growing and growing, like the trees, creepers etc.
Why should a human being believe in Almighty God-Allah?
The reasons are quite simple and must be crystal
clear by now to any reader. But for others who do not worship Allah, what
justification do they have for their actions? What kind of dividend or
benefit are they assured by those whom they worship? Because after all,
one would not start a business which is from the outlook itself is dangerous,
non-profitable and all experts in that field are skeptical about success of such
a project. But here, in relation to God Almighty Allah, we have a clear
cut vision and answer, and there can not be any substitute to Allah.

If some one rejects your rights and does injustice to you, what is the solution?
Then again for the sake of argument, let us have one more example: you go for shopping and wish to buy something. You offer genuine bills (currency notes) to the shopkeeper or cashier at the counter. But if they are not accepted by them, how could you explain to him or her that your bills are genuine and issued by the relevant authorities? Then the problem is not with your money, but the human being with whom you are dealing. Now when Holy Qur'an calls on mankind that it is for sure, the Words of God and also the Final Book of God, for the success of this present and the future world (after death), then what more could the Holy Qur'an do other than declare it's own authenticity? It can't force anyone to make a believer by itself. Neither Allah forces anyone to do so. In the Holy Qur-an, He declared that Had He so willed, He would have surely made them one single block (all believers in His Religion 'Al-Islam'). The advance declaration is done about the result of our (particular) actions, in the Holy Qur-an, but the individual Judgment will be on the Day of Judgment by Allah.
But the purpose of life is as He put it, is to Test us, by keeping the Hell, Heaven etc hidden from human eye sights and then see who is going to obey Him so that Heaven will be the lot of him or her? Don't you even know, that in a quiz program, a quiz master asks so many questions before the audience of learned people and he has hidden the answers but the list of prizes is already declared to them if they become successful by answering all the questions or at least some. If he quizzes them and then answers in the same breathe without allowing them to make an effort, then it is nonsense. So our life is not a nonsense effort by God Almighty Allah. He has a higher goal, which must be fulfilled. So please take life as the Test of Allah- the Almighty Lord, seriously, than all other usual tests conducted by human beings, in the schools or offices (for a job) because if you pass in the this Supreme Test of Allah, your permanent life, after Death (Eternal world) will be successful. Now are you concentrating on this and trying to understand Allah's Words and doing some effort to achieve the real goal of life? We are not allowed by God, one more chance after death. So let us all pray for each others' success and salvation. May Allah Keep us in His Irresistible and unbreakable Protection (Aameen).
However man generally tends to be arrogant and unjust towards his Lord! But still he enjoys the world, thinking that he will remain in this condition for ever. But death is only a breathe away. One last breathe could be at any part of the day or night. Then Angels of Allah will take him or her to question about the life and their dealing with Allah and His Commands and Guidance - 'Al-Islam'. They will question all about their life, beliefs and actions and will punish, if a person did not belong to God Almighty Allah's party - that is 'Al-Islam' and practice it. Merely being Muslim is not enough by Allah's yardstick. We must obey Him and be pardoned by Him for our sins by begging for His Mercy day and night for the forgiveness of our sins. Don't you want to obey Allah and escape His Punishments? Say 'Yes'.
Now, the people who don't
want to mislead themselves nor others and keep themselves safe from such unjust
act towards God, are very eager to tell this truth to other fellow human beings
so that they are not deprived of the fruits of Truth. These people are
Muslims in words and deeds and they are the believers in the True and the Only
God of mankind and the whole universe-Almighty Allah. They are the real well wishers of mankind.
And Muslims worship Him only because He existed before all those, some of whom non-Islamic people worship instead of Allah. If you think properly, you should know that man is only the late comer on this earth which contains millions of animals and other living and nonliving beings. There are millions of stars and other celestial worlds existing before we were born. Then it is little wonder that we are not at fault if we worship Almighty Allah as He is the only One who existed since ever. Time, light nor anything else could not surpass Him. Death, Life and anything we see and not see are all in His Grasp.
Science declares that there is nothing such as an 'Absolute' thing. As science deals only with material things, and not with the matters of heart, mind, emotions, blood relationship, feelings, God, Religion and inheritance laws, so on....then what remains is Only God, Almighty Allah, who is the only 'Absolute' being. Materials, humans, idols, etc, all of them, you can measure them, decide their age, and they are destructible as well.
And now you should not wonder, by the following example : suppose, you hold several coins in your hand, they will be intact and once you loosen your grip, they would all be dropped on the ground, scattering around. Yet again, if you hold a glass of water and once you drop it, water will splash around and chances are that even the glass will not be safe.
This makes us clear that God Almighty Allah has the ability and power to and that it's only He who holds the whole universe in His Strong Grip and it is no problem at all for Him. But if He leaves this what could happen? Whole structure will be destroyed due to the tremendous impact caused due to the dreadful event. The Day of Judgment will be that Day, when Allah will destroy the world untying all links (forces) between different things which would be existing before the Event of Resurrection. What happens to a website if most of its links are broken up from the home page? What is your observation? What happens to you if you break away from Almighty God Allah? Think sensibly and decide sensibly.
Thank you for reading with patience. Please don't forget to convey this message to your friends by making a copy of it and sending them by email. Thank you once again for participating in the job of spreading the message of your Benefactor and God, Almighty Allah. May Allah Bless us all for doing His Service-Aameen.
