Farewell Pilgrimage

The Prophet Muhammad delivered a sermon at the Valley of Arafat. This was about 81 or 82 days before his death. It contained a clear the very fundamentals of Islam. Seated on his camel, he speak with a clear tone and asked all those who heard his speech to convey it to those who were not present. Amongst the things he mentioned were the following:

"O people, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again, therefore listen carefully to what I am saying to you and take these words to those who could not be present here today."

"O people, just as you regard this month, this day, this City as sacred, so regard the life and property of Every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. God has forbidden you to take usury; therefore all interest obligations shall henceforth be waived. Beware of Satan for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hopes that he will be able to indulge you in big sins, so beware of indulging in small sins."

"O people, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. If they abide by your rights them to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with anyone of whom you do not approve, as well as never to commit adultery."

"O people, listen to me in earnest, worships God, offer your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadan, and give from your wealth the Zakat (poor-due). Perform the pilgrimage if you can afford to. You know that every Muslim is the brother of every other Muslim. You are all equal. Nobody has superiority over another except by piety and good deeds."

"Remember, one day you will appear before God and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not go astray from the path of righteousness after my death."

"O people, no Prophet of Messenger will come after me and no new faith will be born."

"O people, understand my words that I conveyed to you. I leave behind me two thins, the Quran and my example (the prophetic traditions), and if you follow these, you will never go astray."

"All those who listen to me, should pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness O GOD that I have conveyed your message to your slaves."

The importance of this sermon can be seen from Prophet's perception that this occasion may be the last one like it during his lifetime. He felt that this was the right time to summarized the principles of Islam to his brother and sister.

With the religion now conveyed to the people in its entirely, there was no need for humanity, and for the Muslims in particular, to look for an alternative way of life. By holding fast to the two things left behind by the prophet (the Quran and the Sunnah), a person will nerve go astray.

Life Has No Guaranty, Kingdom of Bahrain II

A year ago since my journey has begun (Here in Kingdom of Bahrain), my life has full of difficulties, surrounded by intricacy but thankfully “God Most Merciful” He honored all my prayers to survived & stand still, I learned much more knowledge from the mistake, it’s gave some lesson on how to dealt with it, and constantly fill with unforgettable moment. These experiences fill within the depths on my mind. In the still of passing moment I come to understand that I am capable to reach higher destine. But there will be a cause for doubt – considering the idea of failing, in which, I always strive towards perfections &utilized my abilities that I have, looking for innovative solutions that enable to achieve my dreams, work extremely hard towards a goals – a main factors why I am here struggling for a cause of my life, but there always weaknesses to prompt to that strong points of a achieving a dreams. Life has no guaranties, always prompt to encountered trials & difficulties. When such things happened unto my life – I wanted to take strength from those I loved, but sadly I could never be, of which, I am far apart from them (May God Bless them all) just only have to do is to take strength from Almighty God. This was the most difficult journey I’d ever make, though sacrifice would be my benefits. Before I take my journey I promise to myself to be strong & don’t ever quit believing myself as long as I can. But sometimes I felt fall short of hopes & it makes me out of peace of mind & feel like I’ve lost, though I know there’s always an absolute answer behind anything. My great journey led into most comfortable directions & have ever hope to follow, but then, perhaps meet a great challenges – I was chosen prey by the stasher, my dignity has loss, my soul has come to surrendered & have no direction at all, but my spirit still fighting from the threat of strong wind & finally take control of what my heart felt, given ease of pain and find courage inside to remain strong, in fact, my mind never ever plea against my spirit & letting my conscience to guide me in the path I have chosen even when it’s hard during this painful moment in my lie.
On this time I’m still in the midst of my journey, looking towards my future, all I need have more courage and strength to see things through. Even though I chosen to sacrifice my emotions in order to fulfill my ambitions & wanted my dreams come true. Pray fore. (May God bless us).
Kingdom of Bahrain is a perfect place where is nothing to be afraid & can have anything you want, just only prepared yourself to knock the door opportunity & be ready for the challenges that come to your life, deal with all challenges in life, trust enough to be able to take & you find the way to a very beautiful tomorrow.

CHosen Prey

Life in this pleasant world is full of intricacy; sometimes, peoples need to be strong and brave, in which, weaknesses has no place at all, patience is needed to bear when people are trying to let you down, as long as you are not liable for those matter lay the blame on unto thee,,, but six million dollar question is? How can you preserve yourself to those arraign against you, if you’re not giving an odds to look after yourself? This fixation I could never imagined and never be hopeful of those obsession how ever come to my whole life; however, this leaning mournfully done; it’s ended; I admit being a human being prone to error, subject to commit sin, but I always bear in quintessence that I never come to lay my words to the tongues of others; of which, I am absolutely GOD fearing person; though desolately – stasher put his words to my tongue; Huh! I was chosen prey by this stasher – by means I knows nothing on what would be the hidden agenda’s of this stasher why he makes this unscrupulous vogue unto my own that served I never forget ‘till the rest of my life. I came after them brings with strong faith, determination and my own dignity. And now, stateliness has thrashing like a broken shield and milt in ignominy,,, Oh! GOD! I loss all I have because of the things that I never had. I was soothing to consummate my life into good enthrallment but it doesn’t work; It doesn’t matter; only GOD knows of what I’m trying to do, by this time, oblivion is the best thing for me to do so,,, in fact, I have no abhorrence to this stasher even though he through this to me, he just show up his self and what would be his ability and capability, it means he was a human being like a leech that never trusted to any further extent. After those things happened, thanks GOD I at a standstill on my own way, stand alone, believe of what I have. Continues to struggle on my own destiny, makes another chapter of my own life,,, But one thing I’m sure and I never forget “I was chosen prey by stasher”.
