It is very important for us to know ourselves.
It is very important that
(at this day and time )we hear the teachings directly from the Messenger of Allah!
From the Messenger
of Allah:
The Teaching of the
HOLY QURAN: On Obedience
"
Say: Obey Allah and the Messenger; But if they turn back, Allah Surely love not he disbelievers." Holy Qur-an 3:31.
The religion of Islam demands strict obedience to Allah and His Messenger. The word "Islam"
means submission, " obedience. " Obedience to God (Allah ) is not accepted if disobedient to the Messenger.
" The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and (so do
) the believers." Holy Qur-an 2: 285
A true follower of the
Messenger believes as the Messenger believes, but a hypocrite pretends he believes but is not at all a believer. There
are those who claim they are believers, but are sympathizers of the hypocrites: those are the ones who will never say anything
one way or the other, fearing that they will show their sympathy for the hypocrites. Such ones are warned in the Holy
Qur-an:
" Behold, you are they who may contend on their behalf in this world's
life, but who will contend with Allah on their behalf on the resurrection day." Holy Quran 4:109
There are those who like to dispute and act hostile towards the Messenger of Allah. They are also warned in the same
chapter:
" And whoever acts hostilely to the Messenger after guidance has become
manifest to him and follows other than the way of the believers, we turn him to that to which he himself turns and make him
enter hell: and it is an evil resort" Holy Qur-an 4:115.
This refers to those whom
the Messenger has guided to Allah on the right path, and has tasted the blessings of Allah and then turns back to that which
they had been brought out of. And here Allah causes them to meet with a worse condition than they left. This is tasted
by such ones in this life. Allah does not spare a Messenger's near of kin nor their wives and children. See Holy
Qur-an 66:1-11.
Allah wil chastise Messengers if they disobey Him, but Allah does not
allow us to be the judge of His Messengers, nor does He make a second choice in choosing a Messenger for another.
Read the histories of the Prophets of God.
" O you who
believe, obey Allah and obey His Messenger and make not your deeds vain."
" Surely
those who disbelieve and hinder men from Allah's way, then die disbelievers, Allah will not forgive them."
Holy Qur-an 47:33,34. God is very hard on us who disobey His Messenger. He warns in His Holy Qur-an not to quarrel and
dispute nor raise our voice above the Messenger's voice. Strict respect and honor is demanded for His Messengers.
We should not take them lightly, we may under-estimate them without knowledge.
Elijah Muhammad,
Messenger of Allah
