Qur'an by Sheikh Gabriel Keresztes No. 11

Today I learned about the Qur'an:

 The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

Spend your money in the small boxes at restaurants and post offices, don't ask for your parent's money, take YOUR money, and give.

Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah and then do not follow up what they have spent with reminders [of it] or [other] injury will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allah is Free of need and Forbearing.

If you can't give something, just say something good.

O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with reminders or injury as does one who spends his wealth [only] to be seen by the people and does not believe in Allah and the Last Day. His example is like that of a [large] smooth stone upon which is dust and is hit by a downpour that leaves it bare. They are unable [to keep] anything of what they have earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.

Don't give money because your friends are watching you, give for the sake of Allah.

Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will remember except those of understanding.

Allah knows how you feel, what is in your heart, encourage others to spend for the sake of Allah.

 And whatever you spend of expenditures or make of vows - indeed, Allah knows of it. And for the wrongdoers, there are no helpers.

If you disclose your charitable expenditures, they are good; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, it is better for you, and He will remove from you some of your misdeeds [thereby]. And Allah, with what you do, is [fully] Acquainted.

Not upon you, [O Muhammad], is [responsibility for] their guidance, but Allah guides whom He wills. And whatever good you [believers] spend is for yourselves, and you do not spend except seeking the countenance of Allah. And whatever you spend of good - it will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.

[Charity is] for the poor who have been restricted for the cause of Allah, unable to move about in the land. An ignorant [person] would think them self-sufficient because of their restraint, but you will know them by their [characteristic] sign. They do not ask people persistently [or at all]. And whatever you spend of good - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.

Those who spend their wealth [in Allah 's way] by night and by day, secretly and publicly - they will have their reward with their Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.

All of us have pocket money, so give some.

Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, "Trade is [just] like interest." But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah. But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

Allah destroys interest and gives an increase for charities. And Allah does not like every sinning disbeliever.

Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds and establish prayer and give zakah will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

O you who have believed, fear Allah and give up what remains [due to you] of interest if you should be believers.

It is NOT ok to make money of interest, I need 10RM after I have to pay 15RM, it is NOT ok to make money off the backs of people who need help and money.

And if you do not, then be informed of a war [against you] from Allah and His Messenger. But if you repent, you may have your principal - [thus] you do no wrong, nor are you wronged

And if someone is in hardship, then [let there be] postponement until [a time of] ease. But if you give [from your right as] charity, then it is better for you, if you only knew.

And fear a Day when you will be returned to Allah. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be treated unjustly.

O you who have believed, when you contract a debt for a specified term, write it down. And let a scribe write [it] between you injustice. Let no scribe refuse to write as Allah has taught him. So let him write and let the one who has the obligation dictate. And let him fear Allah, his Lord, and not leave anything out of it. But if the one who has the obligation is of limited understanding or weak or unable to dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate injustice. And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses - so that if one of the women errs, then the other can remind her. And let not the witnesses refuse when they are called upon. And do not be [too] weary to write it, whether it is small or large, for its [specified] term. That is more just in the sight of Allah and stronger as evidence and more likely to prevent doubt between you, except when it is an immediate transaction that you conduct among yourselves. For [then] there is no blame upon you if you do not write it. And take witnesses when you conclude a contract. Let no scribe be harmed or any witness. For if you do so, indeed, it is [grave] disobedience in you. And fear Allah. And Allah teaches you. And Allah is Knowing of all things.

And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a security deposit [should be] taken. And if one of you entrusts another, then let him who is entrusted discharge his trust [faithfully] and let him fear Allah, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony, for whoever conceals it - his heart is indeed sinful, and Allah is Knowing of what you do.

To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.

The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination."

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."

Your parents can't protect you, Allah protects you.

Hadiths by Sheikh Tariq Appleby No 10

Today I learned about Hadiths:

the prophet Muhammad said, "Actions are but by intentions and each man will have that which he intended." 

Don't pray because your parents are asking you to pray, pray for Allah, not because of your parents pestering you to pray.

the prophet Muhammad said, "Verily Allah does not look at your outward form and wealth; rather He looks at your hearts and deeds."

He looks at your hearts, not your appearance. Good looks do not make a good person.

Don't get obsessed we appear in the eyes of people, but we are not paying attention to what Allah thinks about us.

Some people think Allah look ONLY at your heart, but they don't do good deeds.

If your heart is pure, you will do good things, but if the heart is corrupted then the deeds will be corrupted.

The prophet said, "O people, repent to Allah, for I depend to Allah one hundred times a day."

If you go astray, turn back to Allah.

If you ask Allah to forgive you, all of us make mistakes, be conscious when you ask for forgiveness from Allah.

The prophet Muhammad said, "Verily, Allah accepts repentance of a slave so long as the death rattle has not sounded in his throat."  

If you are on your death bed, and it is too late to ask Allah for forgiveness, there is always a chance that you can die at any-time, none of us know when we will die, so always ask Allah for forgiveness, 

The prophet Muhammad said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or else keep silent."

If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.

The prophet said, "(True) patience is only when calamity first strikes."

We all have one time that was difficult, but we need to have Sabr (being able to restrain ourselves). 

"How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for all his affairs are good, and that does not apply to anyone except the believer. If something good happens to him, he gives thanks s for it and that's is good for him; if something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience, and that is good for him."

If you have sabr, Allah will bless you, if someone you know dies, and you can restrain yourself Allah will give blessings on you.

Minecraft day No. 2

I traveled to my Grandmother and Grandfather's house, and I brought my mom's Mac and my gaming mouse, to play with my friends Minecraft, and we call on discord, and we played the Hypixel tournament on bedwars, and I played with: PCnate, and we played duos and we didn't win sadly, and when I was at my Grandmother and Grandfather's house I did bachang (it is kinda like Chinese Ketupat), and I have been doing online taekwondo classes, in my apartment, I have been doing the lessons in the living room but in my Grandmother and Grandfather's backyard (it is in the front, so maybe, front-yard?).

Boys to men by Sheikh Gabriel Keresztes No. 1

Here we go:

Girls do mature faster than men,  girls learn more in their early years, but men are still childish, but they catch up still, men will develop their responsibility, when they are older

men these days have no responsibility.

If you move to becoming an adult," we are not teaching our kids to become men."

The take a village to raise a child, some children get a large quantity of screen time and live in luxury, and they are complaining.

You want to be a person that people look for you for guidance, not look down on you.

At the edge of 40, you reach the edge of your puberty, some people at the age of 40, are still childish, we aren't training our kids to be adults.

Men have the responsibility to establish the family, puberty, do not give annoyed at your parents, by right, they have more power over you, but you should not be mean to your parents.

If you ingest things that children do, you will still be a child, if you farm (in your garden), it is good because you are getting close to one of Allah's creations.

If you are feeling sad, go for a jog, go cycling, then you feel no longer feel sad.

Stop making excuses about never doing work, if you keep playing kid's games, you will keep being a kid.

People drop out of Islam because they don't want any regulations.

Try to control the media, not the media controls you, 

If you want to have a good life, stay away from things you are not supposed to see.

 Runaway from things that we are not to see, don't get addicted to it.

World Environment day special

Today I learned about World Environment day:

Nature:

What makes you like the environment

Baida: "Planting a tree at home, can have a big impact on our environment".

Why do you like scouting so much:

Riyan: "I like nature, that is why I like scouts, I like camping and scouting."

Salleh: "There are 18 ocean-related days, even a blue sky day, it is important to preserve nature,"

Salleh: Along with the population increase, the greater the population is, the more resources are required from the earth, and comes with it, the loss of all the bio-diversity. 

What are efforts of the balance of the ecosystem

Baida: "Reduce waste, and work to save water, start rainwater collection."

What are the measures scouts have taken

Raiyan: "Scouts are doing a great job, contribute to stoping all this wasting water and waste."

Salleh: "We encourage the younger generation to learn more about nature, and defending it." 

There was a forest in Terengganu, with palm oil and people distorted the forest for agriculture 

Sallah: "We have specified which land can be utilized for agriculture, and for conservation, but some politicians don't care, we don't need palm oil, we have enough to sustain us." 

In Pulau Penang, they are building over the ocean and claiming land

Sallah: "Don't build over the land, they are obstructing the life under the water, if we do land reclaiming then we don't know the outcomes in the future."

Environment:

When certain people open land, by agriculture they do open burning

Baida: "Once you burn a forest, the soil gets burnt too, you are making more greenhouse gasses than just cutting the forest down."

Sallah: "Get up and stroll on grass and soil, and also don't live in a virtual world." 

Baida: "The first toothbrush you used at the start of your life, is still sitting in a landfill."

Our condition:

Hariesh: "The ozone layer is slowly getting better, and because of the MCO."

Balda: "We need to stop deforestation."

Sallah: "Humans are greedy, and because of our greed we are damaging our only planet."

Sallah: "Paper bags are better than plastic bags."

Scouts in nature:

The world scout environment program supports environmental education.

Learning about nature and the environment and to take action to protect it.

Malaysia is a very biodiverse country.

Awareness programs, save nature for future awareness programs.

Educational programs, we have plans for environmental education although they are difficult to execute.

We have plans for the world scout environment program & Earthtribe.

Earth tribe's badge champion of nature and scouts go solar.

SCENES is a center that committed to protecting its natural environment, minimizing its environmental impacts, and promoting the environment. 

The world scouts are teaming with: the WWF, the Sea Scouts, the Eco-schools, and many more.

"He has given us a world to live in that is full of beauties and wonders, and He has given us not only eyes to see them but minds to understand them -- if only we have the sense to look at them in that light. We can enjoy bright sunshine and glorious views. We can see beauty in the trees and flowers" - Brandon Powell.

Baida: "We just have to keep learning about nature."

Qur'an by Sheikh Gabriel Keresztes No. 10

Today I learned about the Qur'an

Have you not considered the assembly of the Children of Israel after [the time of] Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs, "Send to us a king, and we will fight in the way of Allah "? He said, "Would you perhaps refrain from fighting if fighting was prescribed for you?" They said, "And why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we have been driven out from our homes and from our children?" But when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers. 

People talk a lot about themself "I am so great, no one can be better than me", but when they encounter real-life situations they shrink and feel scared.

in South Africa people discriminate against white, people discriminate because of Taqwa.

And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, a sign of his kingship is that the chest will come to you in which is assurance from your Lord and a remnant of what the family of Moses and the family of Aaron had left, carried by the angels. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers."

Imam is not about a miracle/

And when Saul went forth with the soldiers, he said, "Indeed, Allah will be testing you with a river. So whoever drinks from it is not of me, and whoever does not taste it is indeed of me, excepting one who takes [from it] in the hollow of his hand." But they drank from it, except a [very] few of them. Then when he had crossed it along with those who believed with him, they said, "There is no power for us today against Goliath and his soldiers." But those who were certain that they would meet Allah said, "How many a small company has overcome a large company by permission of Allah. And Allah is with the patient."

A lot of people drink the water, but some people drink with their hands.  

It is not about the quantity it is about the quality, it doesn't matter how long you study, it is how strong your study is.

And when they went forth to [face] Goliath and his soldiers, they said, "Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people."

And when they went forth to [face] Goliath and his soldiers, they said, "Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people."

So they defeated them by permission of Allah, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him the kingship and prophethood and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for Allah checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allah is full of bounty to the worlds.

David was a small soldier and Goliath was a big soldier but David won because he believed in Allah.

Those messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allah spoke, and He raised some of them in degree. And We gave Jesus, the Son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit. If Allah had willed, those [generations] succeeding them would not have fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them. But they differed, and some of them believed and some of them disbelieved. And if Allah had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allah does what He intends.

Whatever happens in the world, we have to follow the truth.

O you who have believed, spend from that which We have provided for you before there comes a Day in which there is no exchange and no friendship and no intercession. And the disbelievers - they are the wrongdoers.

Head in the path of Allah, he gave you the ability to work, in the end, we must give our Zakat.

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

Memorize this ayah, it is a weapon against the Jins, He knows everything he knows all the stones in the world if anybody asks "Who is Allah" you should know this Ayah.

There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

You can't force someone to be a Muslim, our duty is telling others about how to become a Muslim.

Allah is the ally of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are Taghut. They take them out of the light into darknesses. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

Allah is your protector, you should have no fear for anything else, but Allah.

Have you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord [merely] because Allah had given him kingship? When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, Allah brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allah bring this to life after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained?" The man said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time. And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allah is over all things competent."

Don't question Allah about resurrection, Allah will bring you from Ashes.

And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead." [ Allah ] said, "Have you not believed?" He said, "Yes, but [I ask] only that my heart may be satisfied." [ Allah ] said, "Take four birds and commit them to yourself. Then [after slaughtering them] put on each hill a portion of them; then call them - they will come [flying] to you in haste. And know that Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise."

Qur'an by Sheikh Gabriel Keresztes No. 9

Today I learned about the Qur'an:

Conflicts come and go, though out the years different prophet's were at war, there are conflicts around the world.

courage is are, being courageous means that you are having fear, but beating that fear. 

War and fighting are part of life, people need to know how to defend himself.

They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.

The 5th 7th 11th 12th are the sacred months of the year, on these months on these months, fitnah is a greater sin than killing, we encounter fitnah every-day, people run away from Islam, try your best to stick with Islam, practice Islam don't leave it.

Indeed, those who have believed and those who have emigrated and fought in the cause of Allah - those expect the mercy of Allah. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Don't have doubts about yourself,  if you have doubts you won't succeed.

They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they should spend. Say, "The excess [beyond needs]." Thus Allah makes clear to you the verses [of revelation] that you might give thought.

Going gambling and drinking wine is a great sin, don't spend money gambling, if you have excess money, give the poor people money.

To this world and the Hereafter. And they ask you about orphans. Say, "Improvement for them is best. And if you mix your affairs with theirs - they are your brothers. And Allah knows the corrupter from the amender. And if Allah had willed, He could have put you in difficulty. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.

You should pick everything on belief, having friends on belief.

And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember.

Men don't get a break from solat, Men don't get a break from fasting,  

Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves. And fear Allah and know that you will meet Him. And give good tidings to the believers.

Respect your sister, respect your mother, your mother carried you for 9 months and took care of you, so give her a hug, or call her, or text her or. or (I can go for 10 minutes more ).

And if they decide on divorce - then indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

We need to know how to keep on pushing on even if they decided with a divorce.

Divorced women remain in waiting for three periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have more right to take them back in this [period] if they want reconciliation. And due to the wives is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable. But the men have a degree over them [in responsibility and authority]. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
