Ashab Al Kahf
Ashab Al Kahf (the People of the Cave) is the seven young men who were forced to worship a deity other than Allah and took refuge in a cave. As a miracle these seven young men were made slept for 309 years in the company of their dog named Qitmir.
This incident is a great lesson for the resurrection after death. On the other hand, it has got some other lessons for today’s people. More than a century the status quo and the fitna spread from the West to the entire World have imposed two things without mercy: A life without belief or a belief without life. You can call this ‘Daqya- nus Law;’ because Ashab Al Kahf faced the same oppression. However, it could not discourage them. When they confronted Mr. Status Quo, the King, their hearts were made firm by their
Lord and they stood up and said without fear, “Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.” (Surah Al Kahf, 14)
Just as their perseverance and firmness ended the oppression, their courage coming from faith liberated them from slavery as well. It means that the talisman is in the Surah Al Kahf.
The last lesson of Ashab Al Kahf to the king and oppressors of the time was as follows: “These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie?” (Surah Al Kahf, 15)
The Tewafuq of Amens
Prophet Muhammad ASM said, “When the reciter (Qari’) says ‘amen,’ you must say ‘amen’ too. For the angels say ‘amen.’ The past sins of person whose ‘amens’ meet the ‘amens’ of angels by tewafuq are forgiven.” (Bukhari, Da’awat 63)
Pen
“The stroke of the pen with its ink is so strong. That is why the pen is mightier than the sword. There is no author who will not vanish off the face of the earth; but the things he wrote will last as long as the world exists.” Katib Chalabi
Beneficient Mouth, Beneficient Heart, Beneficient Mind
“The tongue, lips and mouth which practice Kalamullah will certainly deserve to be a Beneficent Mouth. However, the important thing is to promote to Beneficent Heart and Beneficent Mind from the Beneficent Mouth by understanding the meaning and the wisdoms of the Qur’an.” Prof. Dr Mehmet Gormez, President, Presidency of Religious Affairs of Turkey
