37 .THE MUSLIM WAY OF SPEAKING
In this book, everyone is encouraged to speak in a manner that is pleasing to Allah as emphasized in the Qur’an. All people are called to speak in a manner compatible with Qur’anic values by revealing the sharp differences between the perfection of the speech of Muslims and the style employed by people who live in a state of mind far removed from religion.

The Evil Consequences of Neglecting to Enjoin Good and Forbid Evil
Muslims
who neglect enjoining good and forbidding evil hold this corrupted saying as a
pretext, "Leave the creation for Allaah The Almighty
to judge them; I am not responsible for all human beings" , and the
like.
In one of his speeches, after praising Allaah The Almighty, Abu Bakr
said, “O people, you read this verse often: {“O
you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. Those who
have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided. To Allaah is you
return all together; then He will inform you of what you used to do. ”}
[Quran 5:105] However, you have misunderstood
it. I heard the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, say:
“If acts of disobedience are done among any people and they do not change
them even though they are able to do so, Allaah will soon smite them all with
punishment.” [Ahmad, Abu Daawood, An-Nasaa’i,
Al-Tirmithi and Ibn Maajah] [Saheeh]
Enjoining good and forbidding evil has
different degrees; the first of which is abhorrence of the wrongdoing. Only
a pious Muslim’s heart would shiver to know about an evildoing that is
being committed. Then, a Muslim should advise the wrongdoer to quit his misdeed,
and if the wrongdoer does not respond, then a Muslim has to try modifying the
misdeed with his hands, if he is able to. On the other hand, some scholars believe
that the correct order of these levels is to modify the wrongdoing with the
hand, then with speaking out, then with the heart. However, one cannot modify
a misdeed with his hands unless he, in his heart, abhors it first, Abhorring
a wrongdoing is the least degree of forbidding evil, and if the wrongdoer does
not stop, then a Muslim should leave the place where the misdeed is being committed.
It is wrong for a Muslim to say, “As long as I have
disapproved of the wrongdoing, I can stay where the wrongdoing is being committed."
In fact, by doing so, such a Muslim is actually following his own desires.

Umm Hakeem: The wife of two defenders of Islam
On
the day of the Battle of Uhud, she was fighting against Islam and Muslims; and
on the day of the Battle of Yarmook , she was fighting against
disbelief and disbelievers. Umm Hakeem embraced Islam on the
day of the Conquest of Makkah, but her husband, ‘Ikrimah ibn Abi
Jahl , did not; he fled Makkah to Yemen after he heard that the Prophet,
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, had made his death lawful.
Umm Hakeem went early in the morning to the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi
wa sallam, and asked him to grant amnesty to her husband, and, sympathizing
with her, he permitted her to catch up with him and give him the glad tidings
of pardon. She set out in his pursuit and caught up with him at the coast of
Tihaamah when he was about to sail to Yemen.
She shed tears and said to him,
"O son of my paternal uncle! I have come (with good
news) from the best of the people, and the keenest to maintain good relations
with people. Do not ruin yourself after I have sought safety from the Messenger
of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, for you, and he granted you
safety." He said, "Have you really done
so?" She said, "Yes, I talked to him
about you and he granted you safety."

Farewell Ramadan
When
one ponders over the history of nations, they will realise that all are in the
process of constant change. This is the course destined for them by Allaah and
nothing can change that.
If an honourable guest visits you in your dwellings,
showers you with goodness and loves you – which you reciprocate; then
the time for his departure arrives, how are you going to bid him farewell and
how are you going to feel? What separation is then greater and more emotional
than that from the beloved guest of the Muslims, the blessed month of Ramadhaan?
Ramadhaan is the month of righteousness and generosity, the month of forgiveness
and liberation from Hell. It is all but gone now and nothing remains of it but
a few days. Yesterday, we were congratulating each other on the arrival of the
month; today we are consoling one another over its departure and invoking Allaah
to accept all our acts of worship.
In this noble month, many have done good deeds, while others have done the opposite.
These deeds are going to testify for or against us on the Day of Reckoning.
We do not know whether we are going to live to witness this glorious month again
or not. Therefore, the fortunate Muslim during this month was the one who was
able to perfect their acts of worship with sincerity and self-examination and
end it with sincere repentance, for acts are judged according to their ends.

Remedies for the heart are within the Quran
Allaah
Almighty Says in the Quran (what means): “We send
down of the Quran that which is healing and mercy for the believers.”
[Quran 17:82] And also (what means): “O
mankind! There has come to you instruction from your Lord and healing for what
is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers.” [Quran
10:57]
It is narrated on the authority of An-Nu'maan Ibn Basheer
may Allaah be pleased with him who said : "I heard
the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam say : "That which
is lawful is plain and that which is unlawful is plain and between the two of
them are doubtful matters about which not many people know. Thus, he who avoids
doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, but
he who falls into doubtful matters falls into that which is unlawful, like the
shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly, every
king has a sanctuary, and truly Allaah's sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly
in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be whole,all the body is
whole and which, if it be diseased, all of it is diseased. Truly it is the heart."
[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Diseases of the heart are a mixture of suspicions and lusts which can lead
our souls into turmoil and despair. However, Allaah Almighty has provided us
with a special prescription that will cleanse and heal our diseased hearts:
The Quran.
The Quran provides the healing for many types of ailments:
1. It contains proofs and clear evidences which separate right from wrong.

Little Mosque Travels More than 2000 Miles Across the Canadian Arctic
A
small mosque being shipped to the Arctic to serve a growing Muslim population
in Canada's far north will travel 4,000 kilometers (2,485 miles) over land and
water.
Upon its arrival in Inuvik , it
will become the world's northernmost mosque. It may
also go on record as the world's longest building move.
The number of Muslims in Inuvik, a town of 4,000 inhabitants in the Northwest
Territories, has grown steadily in recent years to about 80 and they no longer
fit in an old three-by-seven-meter (10-by-23-feet) caravan used until now for
prayers.
The congregation could not afford to build a new mosque in the town, where
prices for labor and materials are substantially higher than in southern parts
of Canada, said project leader Ahmad Alkhalaf.
But they found a supplier of prefabricated buildings in Manitoba that said
it could ship a structure to Inuvik for half the price of building a mosque
from scratch on site.
