Did Jum'ma namaz behind Yusuf Estes (Peace TV) today at the East London Mosque. He has incredible knowledge about Islam!
He was saying that before he came to Islam, he would try to take people away from Islam to his previous religion/beliefs. He said that if you were to tell him back then that he would become a Muslim, he would say it is absolutely impossible. Look at him now.
Allah decides what is possible and not. Yusuf Estes puts me, a Muslim from birth to shame with his dedication and time he spends studying Islam. Those who Allah puts on the correct path can never stray from it and at the same time, those that stray may never return. Allah decides and knows best. Learn as much as you can, you have no excuse not to.

Asalam o alaikum warah matullah
Agree with you there badman ... I think the reason behind that is because we (as natural born muslims) are born in a muslim family, father muslim , mother muslim and the entire family is muslim thtz why most of us do not pay any attention in perfecting our islam. Most of us are of the wrong view that since we have said "La-ilaha Ill-lallah Muhammad - un rasoll- ullah" we are going to enter paradise, which is not right. Allah has clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran that imaan by itself is of no use and righteous deeds are absolutely must with imaan. On the other hand, a reverted muslim first understands what Islam truly is, and then if Allah wills, that person accepts Islam and follows it , as much as Allah wills for him.
And if you think about it, Allah demands almost nothing from us. The only thing He asks for us is 5 times prayer a day (talking about only Fard. Yes praying Sunnah is also important but at the least Fard). Ramadan comes only once a month and even in ramadan there are so many concessions. Zakat is fard only after a certain condition and Hajj is Fard only if you have the money and the strength. And yet we muslims find it so hard to even pray 5 times a day. Even after that, how can we think that Allah will let us enter paradise. No doubt that with His rehma, He will forgive most of our sins and let us enter paradise but we should try our best to make an effort to do as many good deeds as possible.
May Allah guide our heart's in following the command's of Allah and saying of Prophet (PBUH) Ameen Sum Ameen

Asalam o alaikum warah matullah wabarakatuhu
"Jabir b. 'Abdullah al-Ansari reported: The Prophet (may peace be upon him) said: I have been conferred upon five (things) which were not granted to anyone before me (and these are):
1 Every apostle was sent particularly to his own people, whereas I have been sent to all the red and the black
2 the spoils of war have been made lawful for me, and these were never made lawful to anyone before me,
3and the earth has been made sacred and pure and mosque for me, so whenever the time of prayer comes for any one of you he should pray whenever he is,
4 and I have been supported by awe (by which the enemy is overwhelmed) from the distance (which one takes) one month to cover
5 and I have been granted intercession."
(Sahi Muslim, Book#4, Kitab-ul-Salat, Hadeeth 1058)
It is a great blessing for us muslims Alhamdolillah that the entire earth has been made a mosque for us and whenever it is time for prayer, we can pray there and then. Imagine if that was not the case and we would have to locate a mosque in order to pray. Although Alhamdolillah there are many mosques build all over the world these days.
And yet even after this blessing, how many of us take time out of our busy lives and reserve it purely for Allah? Observe daily 5 time prayers? How long does it take to pray .. 10 mins at the most (fard only). We can spend hours and hours doing other sort of activites and yet we cant spend 10 mins. Wake up Oh Muslims, Yes we are the best nation in this world but not just by sitting in front of television or by only doing wordly things. but we are the best nation because we obey the commands of Allah, pray, give zakat, fast in ramadan, go for Hajj and most importantly we do the right thing and prevent others from doing the wrong things.
May Allah open our hearts in praying for Him and obeying Him. Ameen Sum Ameen
Wasalam o alaikum warah matullah wabara katuhu

Salam to all bros here.Nice discussion! bcaz it is the must need of every human on the earth to know the Almighty ALLAH(the God of all) and to know why Allah has created us in this world.No doubt that Allah has created us for HIS worship. ALLAH has created the human superior than all other creatures of the world, gave him a powerful mind, so that the man can know ALLAH, thanks ALLAH and worship Allah. But unfortunatly most of the humen beings are totally unaware of ALLAH Who has created them, Who feeds them, Who grows their crops from the earth,Who send water(rain) from the sky,Who brings days & nights for them and Who controls the whole universe.We all have to appear before Allah one day,and HE will ask us whether we had spent our lives acording to HIS teachings(Islam) or just wasted our lives.In HIS book QURAN, ALLAH says that those people are worst than the animals who don't think about Allah(Who is their Creator). May God bless us all!
