♦ Ashraf Schneider, a new European Muslim
After reading the Quran, I realized that until now, I truly didn't know God, the same God mentioned in the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran. But this time, I came to know the real God, the God who had been with me all this time.

♦ Ashraf Schneider, a new European Muslim After reading the Quran, I realized that until now, I truly didn't know God, the same God mentioned in the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran. But this time, I came to know the real God, the God who had been with me…
♦ From my youth, I wanted to become a religious leader and guide my people.
Ashraf Schneider, as reported by Rahyafte (a comprehensive platform for preachers and new Muslims), was a Christian who always aspired to be a religious leader until his mother discovered the beauty of Islam, marking the beginning of his journey into the Islamic faith.
Schneider stated: "I was born into a Christian family and grew up in that faith. My mother was a writer, and my father was a church priest. Even from a young age, they told me stories of the prophets, like Noah and his ark, Abraham and his son, and Moses and his journey to save his people in a land of safety."
From my youth, I wanted to become a religious leader and walk in my father's footsteps, guiding my people. So, I committed myself to this goal until my mother began reading the Quran. She became familiar with Islam through her trade relationships with Muslims. My mother wanted to write an article about the Hajj journey and Muslims for a local newspaper. She got to know a Muslim family who intended to go on the Hajj pilgrimage, and gradually, my mother became acquainted with the beauties of Islam.
He added: "As a staunch Christian, I made great efforts to bring her back to Christianity. I even tried to disrupt her prayers by raising the voice of the church's prayers on Fridays. We had many discussions."
It was then that I decided to travel around the world. My mother came to the airport to see me off. She hugged me and asked Allah and His angels to be my supporters and guides.
I soon realized that my mother had not only prayed for me but had also placed the Quran before me. She asked me to read the Quran and get to know the beliefs of Muslims. I decided to read a page a day, and gradually, I realized that I had read the entire Quran.
I realized that until that day, I truly did not know God, the same God mentioned in the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran. But this time, I came to know the real God, the God who had been with me all this time. When I returned home, I was a Muslim.

✅ According to historians and famous narrators, the birth of Imam Ali (AS) took place on the thirteenth of Rajab, thirty years after the Year of the Elephant, inside the Kaaba.
✅ It is narrated that Yazid ibn Qa'nab said: "I and Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib and a group from the family of Abdul Aziz were sitting in front of the house of #God when suddenly we saw Fatimah bint Asad, the mother of the Commander of the Faithful (AS), who was pregnant. Nine months had passed since the start of her pregnancy. She entered with a special condition indicative of the pains of childbirth and said to the Lord: 'O Lord! I believe in You, the prophets, and the scriptures sent by You. I confirm and believe in the words of my grandfather, Ibrahim Khalil, that he built this lofty house, and I swear by the right of this child in my womb that you make my childbirth easy.'"
🔵 Yazid ibn Qa'nab continued: "At that moment, I saw the wall behind the #Kaaba split, and Fatimah entered the Kaaba, disappearing from our eyes, and the wall closed behind her. We tried to open the lock of the Kaaba, but it wouldn't open. We knew that this event had occurred by the command of God.
✅ After four days passed, Fatimah came out of the #Kaaba with her newborn, the Commander of the Faithful (AS), in her arms, saying: 'I have surpassed the women of history because Asiya, the daughter of Muzahim, worshipped God secretly in a place where worshiping God was only appropriate out of necessity. And Mary, the daughter of Imran, shook a dry date palm branch with her hand until fresh dates fell from it, and she ate.'"
🔵 "But I entered the house of God, ate from the fruits and heavenly blessings, and when I wanted to leave, a voice said to me: 'Fatimah! Name him Ali, for he is of high rank, and God says that Ali is the highest. I derived his name from my own name, and I raised him with my own manners, taught him my complex knowledge. He is the one who smashes idols in my house, calls the adhan on the roof of my house, and reminds me of majesty and greatness. Blessed is the one who loves him, obeys him, and woe to the one who considers him an enemy and disobeys him.'"

🔹 Ayatollah Haeri Shirazi 🔹
🔸 The Quran's command after victory: #Seek_Forgiveness! 🔸
▫️ The Quran says: "When the victory of Allah has come and the conquest * And you see the people entering into the religion of Allah in multitudes * Then exalt [Him] with praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness of Him...". When victory and conquest come one after the other, and you witness people entering the religion of God in groups, "then exalt [Him] with praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness of Him. Indeed, He is ever Accepting of repentance". Glorify, praise, and seek forgiveness.
▫️ What does victory have to do with seeking forgiveness?
It means God forbid that this nation thinks that it was their strength and power that brought victory; it was their strategy and planning. No! They must say: "I seek forgiveness from Allah, my Lord, and I turn to Him in repentance". They must acknowledge that all of this was #God's_Grace: "Then exalt [Him] with praise of your Lord".

💢Imam Ali's Letter to Malik Al_Ashtar
🔰 #Part_1
✨Be it known to you, O, #Malik, that I am sending you as #Governor to a country which in the past has experienced both just and unjust rule. Men will scrutinize your actions with a searching eye, even as you used to scrutinise the actions of those before you, and speak of you even as you did speak of them.
The fact is that the public speak well of only those who do good. It is they who furnish the proof of your actions. Hence the #richest_treasure that you may covet would be the treasure of #good_deeds.
Keep your #desires under #control and deny yourself that which you have been prohibited from, for, by such abstinence alone, you will be able to distinguish between what is good to them and what is not.
Develop in your #heart the feeling of love for your people and let it be the source of kindliness and blessing to them. Do not behave with them like a barbarian, and do not appropriate to yourself that which belongs to them. Remember that the citizens of the state are of two categories. They are either your brethren in #religion or your brethren in kind. They are subject to infirmities and liable to commit mistakes.
Some indeed do commit mistakes. But forgive them even as you would like God to forgive you. Bear in mind that you are placed over them, even as I am placed over you. And then there is #God even above him who has given you the position of a Governor in order that you may look after those under you and to be sufficient unto them. And you will be judged by what you do for them.

✨Do not set yourself against #God, for neither do you possess the strength to shield yourself against His displeasure, nor can you place yourself outside the pale of His mercy and forgiveness.
✨Do not feel sorry over any act of #forgiveness, nor rejoice over any punishment that you may mete out to any one.
✨Do not rouse yourself to #anger, for no good will come out of it.
✨Do not say: “I am your overlord and dictator, and that you should, therefore, bow to my commands”, as that will corrupt your #heart, weaken your #faith in religion and create disorder in the state. Should you be elated by power, ever feel in your mind the slightest symptoms of pride and arrogance, then look at the power and majesty of the Divine governance of the #Universe over which you have absolutely no control.
It will restore the sense of balance to your wayward intelligence and give you the sense of calmness and affability.
Beware! Never put yourself against the majesty and grandeur of God and never imitate His omnipotence; for God has brought low every rebel of God and every tyrant of man.
✨Let your mind respect through your actions the #rights of God and the #rights of man, and likewise, persuade your companions and relations to do likewise. For, otherwise, you will be doing injustice to yourself and injustice to humanity. Thus both man and God will turn unto your enemies. There is no hearing anywhere for one who makes an enemy of God himself. He will be regarded as one at war with God until he feels contrition and seeks forgiveness. Nothing deprives man of divine blessings or excites divine wrath against him more easily than cruelty. Hence it is, that God listens to the voice of the oppressed and waylays the oppressor.

✨ Maintain #justice in administration and impose it on your own self and seek the #consent of the people,for,the discontent of the masses sterilizes the contentment of the privileged few and the discontent of the few loses itself in the contentment of the many. Remember the privileged few will not rally round you in moments of difficulty: they will try to side-track justice, they will ask for more than what they deserve and will show no gratitude for favours done to them.
They will feel restive in the face of trials and will offer no regret for their shortcomings. It is the common man who is the strength of the State and Religion. It is he who fights the enemy. So #live in close contact with the #masses and be mindful of their welfare.
Keep at a distance one who peers into the weaknesses of others. After all, the masses are not free from weaknesses. It is the duty of the ruler to shield them. Do not bring to light that which is hidden, but try to remove those weaknesses which have been brought to light. #God is #watchful of everything that is hidden from you, and He alone will deal with it.
To the best of your ability cover the weaknesses of the public, and God will cover the weaknesses in you which you are anxious to keep away from their eye.
Unloose the tangle of mutual hatred between the public and the administration and remove all those causes which may give rise to strained relations between them. Protect yourself from every such act as may not be quite correct for you.
Do not make haste in seeking confirmation of tale-telling, for the tale-teller is a deceitful person appearing in the garb of a friend.

The Counsellors
✨Never take counsel of a miser, for he will vitiate your magnanimity and frighten you of poverty.
✨Do not take the advice of a coward either, for he will weaken your resolve.
✨Do not take counsel of the greedy:
for he will instill greed in you and turn you into a tyrant. Miserliness, cowardice and greed deprive man of his trust in #God.
The worst of counsellors is he who has served as a counsellor to unjust rulers and shared in their crimes.
💢So, never let men who have been companions of tyrants or shared their crimes be your counsellors.
You can get better men than these, men gifted with intelligence and foresight, but unpolluted by sin, men who have never aided a tyrant in his tyranny or a criminal in his crime. Such men will never be a burden on you. On the other hand, they will be a source of help and strength to you at all times.
They will be friends to you and strangers to your enemies.
Choose such men alone for companionship both in privacy and in the public. Even among these, show preference to them who have a habitual regard for truth, however trying to you at times their truth may prove to be, and who offer you no encouragement in the display of tendencies which God does not like His friends to develop.
Keep close to you the upright, and the God fearing, and make clear to them that they are never to flatter you and never to give you credit for any good that you may not have done:
for, the tolerance of flattery and unhealthy praise stimulates pride in man and makes him arrogant.

✨ #God has prescribed for them their rights, duties and obligations. They are all defined and preserved in the Holy #Quran and in the traditions of his #Prophet.
The army, by the grace of God, is like a fortress to the people and lends dignity to the state. It upholds the prestige of the faith and maintains the peace of the country. Without it the state cannot stand. In its turn, it cannot stand without the support of the state.

✨Be particularly mindful of the welfare of those in the army who in your opinion, are staunchly #faithful to their #God and the prophet and loyal to their chief, and who in the hour of passion can restrain themselves and listen coolly to sensible remonstrance, and who can succor the weak and smite the strong, whom violent provocation will not throw into violent temper and who will not falter at any stage.
✨Keep yourself in close contact with the families of established reputation and integrity with a glorious past, and draw to yourself men #brave and upright in character, #generous and benevolent in disposition; for such are the salt of society.
✨Care for them with the tenderness with which you care for your children, and do not talk before them of any #good that you might have done to them, nor disregard any expression of affection which they show in return, for such conduct inspires loyalty, devotion and goodwill. Attend to every little of their wants not resting content with what general help that you might have given to them, for sometimes, timely attention to a little want of theirs brings them immense relief. Surely these #people will not forget you in your own hour of need.
It behooves you to select for your Commander-in-Chief one who imposes on himself as a duty, the task of rendering help to his men, and who can excel in #kindness every other officer who has to attend to the needs of the men under him, and look after their families when they are away from their homes; so much so, that the entire #army should feel united in their joys and in their sorrows. The unity of purpose will give them added strength against the enemy.

✳️ Resurrection = Qiyaamat✳️
✅Source: Fundamentals of Islam According to Quran,Hussain Ansariyan
🔰In the #Intermediary stage, the Individual cannot do #anything to redeem the wrong done by him in the past nor can he improve his position by any further action of his; #but the good deeds of the living members of the family or Group to which he belongs may be of avail to him in reducing his pain or multiplying his pleasures.
Moreover , the Holy and Exalted souls leading the Group to which he belongs , have the power to redeem his sins and increase his pleasures.
Inspite of the severance of
physical ties, the spiritual tie of Love between the departed soul with the righteous souls left behind or with those righteous souls who had departed before him, is not severed : this Love transcends all material barriers . Therefore , there is a way possible of salvation for the individual soul in the Intermediary stage - not by his own action but by the blessings and good deeds of the righteous members of his #family or the group to which he(that individual soul) belongs.
The Quranic verses assert the utility of the prayers and blessings of the righteous ones such as prophets,for their departed ancestors,their followers , disciples and for their offspring and posterity.
The prayers of those who are the
Carriers of the Throne of #God (Bearers of the Divine Knowledge) and of those #Believers whose status is closer to them are the best evidence of the stability of the spiritual tie of Love of the Higher Exalted souls of a group with the lower souls belonging to the same group.

The Real Guidance
✨Turn to #God and to His prophet for #guidance whenever you feel uncertain as to what you have to do. There is the commandment of God delivered to those people who He wishes to guide aright: “O people of the #Faith! Obey God and obey His #prophet and those from among you who hold authority over you. And refer to God and His prophet whenever there is difference of opinion among you.” (4:59)
✨To turn to God is in reality to consult the Book of God; and to turn to the prophet is to follow his universally accepted traditions.

Clerical Establishment
✨Keep an eye on your establishment and on your scribes, select the #best among them for your confidential correspondence such among these, as possess #high character and deserve your full #confidence, men who may not exploit their privileged position to go against you, who may not grow neglectful of their duties, who in the drafting of treaties may not succumb to external #temptation and harm your #interests, or fail to render you proper assistance and to save you from trouble, who in carrying out their duties can realize their serious responsibilities, for he who does not realize his own responsibilities can hardly appraise the responsibilities of others.
✨Do not select #men for such work merely on the strength of your first impressions of your affection or good #faith , for as a matter of fact, the pretensions of a good many who are really devoid of #honesty and #good breeding, may cheat even the intelligence of rulers. Selection should be made after due probation, which should be the test of righteousness.
✨In making direct appointments from people, see to it that those selected possess influence with the #people and who #enjoy the reputation of being honest, for such selection is agreeable to #God and the ruler. For every department of administration, let there be a head, whom no trying task might cause worry and no pressure of #work annoy.
✨Remember, every weakness of any one among your establishment and scribes, which you may overlook, will be written down against you in your scroll of deeds.

Trade and Industry
✨Treat #businessmen and artisans well, and #advise others to do likewise. Some of them live in towns, while some move from place to place with their wares and tools earning their living by manual labor. Trade and #industry are the real sources of #profit to the #state and the suppliers of #consumer goods.
✨While the general #public is not inclined to bear the strain, those engaged in these professions take the trouble to collect commodities from far and near, from land and across the sea, from mountains and forests and naturally derive benefits.
✨It is this class of peace loving people from whom no disturbance need be feared. They love peace and order, indeed they are incapable of creating disorder. Visit every part of the country and establish personal contact with this #class , and inquire into their condition.
✨But bear in mind that a #good many of them are intensely #greedy and are inured to #bad dealings. They hoard grain and try to sell it at a #high #price and this is most harmful to the public. It is a blot on the name of the ruler not to fight this evil. Prevent them from hoarding, for the prophet of #God had prohibited it.
✨See to it, that trade is carried on with the utmost #ease, that the scales are evenly held and that prices are so fixed that neither the seller nor the #buyer is put to a loss. If in spite of your warning, anyone should go against your commands and commit the #crime of hoarding, then deal him appropriately with a severe punishment.

The Poor
✨Beware! Fear God when dealing with the #problem of the poor who have none to patronize them, who are forlorn, indigent, #helpless and are greatly torn in mind – victims of the vicissitudes of time. Among them are some who do not question their lot in #life and who, notwithstanding their misery, do not go about seeing alms.
✨For God’s sake, safeguard their #rights , for on you rests the responsibility of protecting their interests.
✨Assign for their uplift a portion of the state exchequer (Bayt al-Mal), wherever they may be, whether close at hand or far away from you. The rights of the two should be #equal in your eye. Do not let any preoccupation slip them from your mind, for no excuse whatsoever for the disregard of their rights will be acceptable to God.
✨Do not treat their interests as of less importance than your own, and never keep them outside the purview of your important considerations, and mark the persons who look down upon them and of whose conditions they keep you in #ignorance .
✨Select from among your officers such men as are meek and God fearing who can keep you properly informed of the condition of the poor. Make such provision for these #poor #people as shall not oblige you to offer an excuse before God on the Day of #Judgment for, it is this section of the people which, more than any other, deserves benevolent treatment.
✨Seek your reward from #God by giving to each of them what is due to him and enjoin on yourself as a sacred #duty the task of meeting the needs of such aged among them as have no independent means of livelihood and are averse to seek alms. The discharge of this duty is what usually proves very trying to rulers, but is very welcome to societies which are gifted with foresight. It is only such societies or nations who truly carry out with equanimity their covenant with God to discharge their duty to the poor.

Open Conferences
✨Meet the oppressed and the lowly periodically in an open #conference and conscious of the divine presence there, have a heart-to-heart talk with them, and let none from your armed guard or civil officers or members of the #Police or the Intelligence Department be by your side, so that the representatives of the #poor might #state their grievances fearlessly and without reserve.
✨For I have heard the prophet of God say that no nation or society, in which the #strong do not discharge their $duty to the #weak , will occupy a #high position.
✨Bear with composure any strong language which they may use, and do not get annoyed if they cannot state their case lucidly. Even so, #God will open for you his door of blessings and rewards. Whatever you can give to them, give it ungrudgingly and whatever you cannot afford to give, make that clear to them in utmost #sincerity .
✨There are certain things which call for prompt action. One of them is correspondence regarding the redress of grievances, which your heedless #staff have been unable to tackle. See to it that #petitions or applications that are submitted for your consideration, are brought to your #notice without any delay, however much your #officers might try to intercede them. Dispose of the day’s #work that very day, for the coming #day will bring with it its own tasks.
