ALAS STEVE JOBS…!

Today in my accounts Class our teacher talked about Steve Jobs and his contribution to apple. He said that it was recorded three times that even American Government didn’t have that much cash which apple had in three different times… All because of STEVE JOBS!
At that time something clicked in my mind and I was forced to take a deep breath and suddenly started being sympathetic for Steve instead of being inspired by him. So much wealth and what was the END?
What did his wealth do? Was he abled to save himself from the pangs of death?
ولو ترى اذا الظالمون فى غمرات الموت والملائكة باسطوا أيديهم أخرجوا أنفسكم أليوم تجزون عذاب الهون بما كنتم تستكبرون فى الأرض وبما كنتم تستكبرون * الأنعام 93
" And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, [saying], "Discharge your souls! Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against Allah other than the truth and [that] you were, toward His verses, being arrogant."
What was his final home? Was he buried in the skies because of his wealth and status OR below the filthy Earth where different creations of Allah walk and spit? Why wasn’t he different to a normal person who lives in a cottage and doesn’t even have the pure water to quench his thirst with?
At that moment memories came rushing back and I was lost in the history - the time of Prophet of Allah! It is narrated in Saheeh Al-Bukhari 2801:
Leaders of different tribes: Bani Aamir and Bani Sulaim came to the Prophet of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and asked for his learned companions رضى الله عنهم ورضوا عنه to be sent along with them to their clans and teach their tribesmen and guide them to the Divine Path. Prophet of Allah chose 70 of his companions and sent along and as they reached the well of Mauna بئر معونة the leaders who were actually hypocrites caught them off-guard and killed all 70 of them brutally. One of the companions who was taking his last breath and was severely wounded cried out:
فزت ورب الكعبة
(I swear) by the Sustainer of Kabah! I prospered!
And closed his eyes!

Now see: ONE WHO DEPARTED FROM THE WORLD OF MISERY TO THE WORLD OF BLISS. AND THE OTHER…. Alas.. To the ditches of Chaos and Destruction which is forever…! AND BELIEVE ME ‘FOREVER’ IS SUCH A LONG TIME…! WHO IS BETTER??????
I can’t thank Allah for such a blessing that He bestowed upon us and even if He takes away everything even then we are burdened by His favor which He gifted us in the form of Islam!
يمنون عليك أن أسلموا قل لا تمنوا علي إسلامكم بل الله يمن عليكم أن هداكم للإيمان إن كنتم صادقين * الحجرات 17
“they consider it a favor to you that they have accepted Islam. Say, "Do not consider your Islam a favor to me. Rather, Allah has conferred favor upon you that He has guided you to the faith, if you should be truthful."

For the conclusion one Hadith defines everything:
الدنيا سجن المؤمن وجنة الكافر * صحيح مسلم 2956
“Dunya is a jail for Muslim and a Paradise for a Kaafir.”

Thank Allah and be proud of Islam and turn towards Allah before it is too late!

Stop setting statuses like "STEVE JOBS WILL SURELY GO TO HELL!".

BY BROTHER MOHAMMAD ALI

Asalam o alaikum wr wb

Wanted to share this post the day steve jobs died, but was very busy for 2 days. I would not say "Do not pray for him because he was a kafir." I would not say "Learn from him because he left the world without eman and what benefit he got from his inventions?" Because many people already said that and mugheera also shared a great post on this issue. However i want to address everyone regarding a very important point.

Stop setting statuses like "STEVE JOBS WILL SURELY GO TO HELL!".
This age is a an age which requires immense patience and hikmah. I really did not know who steve jobs was until a brother told me. Whoever he was, his contribution to technology (which millions of muslims are using today) is very good. Appreciate that and even Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran that He repays the kuffar reward in life of this world for whatever useful they do. But they will have no share in the Hereafter. Just because he was a disbeliever doesn't mean u should disrespect him now. It is prohibited to curse the dead, even disbeliever, unless he/she was a staunch enemy of Islam. If you people read RAND CORPORATION REPORT, it is written there that they (our enemies) want to widen the gaps between different ideologies and break us up into sects and groups. The modernists and fundamentalists already have so much gap. Both hate each other and make fun of each other and defy each other. Setting such statuses "STEVE JOBS WILL SURELY GO TO HELL." will only widen that gap and our enemies would get a chance to manipulate such statements and show the modernists that "LOOK HOW CONSTRICTED AND RIGID FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAM IS." And this exactly is the reason why the modernists do not even listen to whatever fundamentalists talk or tell them because they have in their minds that whatever they say is extreme. This is our enemies strategy.

The secularist of Hazrat Musa (alayhi salam) time, Fir'aun, asked Hazrat Musa:
"[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "What about the generations of old? (our forefathers)" (20:51)
It is absolutely evident why he asked this question. He asked it because bani Israel was present there and he wanted Hazrat Musa to say something bad about their forefathers so that they get angry and do not listen to him. But look at the hikmah of Allah's Messenger who replied:
"[Musa (Moses)] said: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord, in a Record. My Lord is neither unaware nor He forgets, "(20:51)

Imagine Hazrat Musa (AS) saying "ALL ARE IN HELL!" Allah hu akbar! We just do not understand the tricks of our enemies. We just do not understand the traps of those who want to split us apart and created hatred between us. Now why would we want to say something controversial when the same could be said at a later time or in another way?
