Allah’s Words: ” Do You Not See Those Who Claim That They Believe in What Was Revealed to You and to Those Before You? They Wish to Resort to At-Taaghoot for Judgement…”

” Do you not see those who claim that they believe in what was revealed to you and to those before you? They wish to resort to At-Taaghoot for Judgement” (Qur’an 4:60)

In this verse, Allah , Most High, rebukes those hypocrites who pretend to believe in the Revelations sent down to the Messengers, but then make their hypocrisy clear by referring their disputes for judgement to other than Allah and His Messenger , contradicting their claims of faith, for they were ordered in the Last Revelation to reject the judgement of all, save Allah and His Messenger ; but Satan – may Allah curse him – makes their deviation from the Law of Allah in favour of the opinions of men who seem attractive to them, in order to lure them to that which is false and to lead them far astray from the Straight Path, and then he abandons them to their fate.

Can’t obey Rules in the Haram/ Forbidden things / Sins; “Let those who oppose his (the Messenger’s) commandment (orders, statements, etc.) beware, lest some Fitnah (disbelief, affliction) befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them.” (24:63) Do you know what the Fitnah is? Al-Fitnah is Shirk. May be the rejection of some of his words would cause one to have doubt and deviation in his heart and thereby be destroyed.

It is narrated from Adi bin Hatim (May Allah be pleased with him) : I heard the Prophet (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) read this verse: “They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah, and Messiah -son of Maryam, while they were commanded to worship none but One Ilah (God Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)”. (9:31) So I said to him (May Allah be pleased with him)’ “Verily, we did not worship them,” to which he replied, “Did they not make Haram (Forbidden) what Allah made Halal (Permissible) so you then made it Haram, and (did they not) make Halal what Allah made Haram and you therefore made it Halal?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “That is worshipping them.” [Reported by Ahmad and At- Tirmidhi who graded it as Hasan (fair).]

The Oneness of Allah; Allah the Almighty said: “And I (Allah) created not the Jinns and men except they should worship Me (Alone).” (51:56)

And He stated: “And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): ‘Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Taghut (all false deities etc. i.e. do not worship Taghut besides Allah).’ ” (16:36) And He said: “And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: ‘My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small.’

” Allah (swt ), says: ” And those who live in awe for fear of their Rabb(Lord) ; And those who believe in the Signs of their Rabb, And those who join not anyone [in worship] as partners with their Rabb; And those who give that which they give [i.e. charity] with their hearts full of fear [whether their charity has been accepted or not], because they are sure to return to their Rabb” (Qur’an 23:57-60)

Mu’adh bin Jabal (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was riding a pillion with the Prophet ﷺ on a donkey. He ﷺ said, “O Mu’adh, do you know what is the right of Allah upon His slaves, and what is the Right of His slaves upon Allah?” I said: “Allah and His Messenger know better”. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Allah’s Right upon His slaves is that they should worship Him Alone and associate nothing with Him; and His slaves’ right upon Him is that He should not punish who does not associate a thing with Him”. He (Mu’adh) added: I said to the Messenger of Allah: “Shall I give the glad tidings to people?” He ﷺ said, “Do not tell them this good news for they will depend on it alone”. Al-Bukhari and Muslim. وعن معاذ بن جبل ، رضي الله عنه ، قال‏:‏ كنت ردف النبي ﷺ ، على حمار فقال‏:‏ ‏”‏ يا معاذ هل تدري ما حق الله على عباده، وما حق العباد على الله‏.‏ ‏؟‏ قلت‏:‏ الله ورسوله أعلم‏.‏ قال‏:‏‏”‏فإن حق الله على العباد أن يعبدوه، ولا يشركوا به شيئاً، وحق العباد على الله أن لا يعذب من لا يشرك به شيئاً، فقلت، يا رسول الله أفلا أبشر الناس‏؟‏ قال لا تبشرهم فيتكلوا‏”‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ #KitabTawheed #monotheism #islam #Bismillah School

Indigenous/ Native Survivors Matters

July 1, 2025 Bismillah School Leave a comment

The City of Thunder Bay has proclaimed today as Indigenous Survivors Day and is hosting several community events ahead of Canada Day.

Sixties Scoop survivor Troy Abromaitis said he created Indigenous Survivors Day to honour children who were taken from their families and lands. He said Thunder Bay is the first city to make it a full-day event and he hopes other communities will follow.

The Sixties Scoop refers to the period between the 1950s and early 1990s during which thousands of Indigenous children in Canada were apprehended by child welfare agencies and placed with non-Indigenous foster or adoptive parents. Many children were subject to physical, emotional or sexual abuse while most lost connection to their cultures and languages.

The systematic removal of First Nations children from their families from 1991 on is referred to as the Millennium Scoop. The practice resulted in more Indigenous children ending up in foster care than were sent to residential schools at their peak.

Birth alerts — when child welfare organizations notify hospitals if they believe a pregnant patient may be “high risk” — led to newborns being taken from their parents for days, months or even years. The province ordered an end to birth alerts in 2022 after finding it disproportionately affected Indigenous and racialized families.

Indigenous children made up 53.8 per cent of all children in foster care across the country, according to Statistics Canada data from the 2021 census.
