A person, who observes Aitikaf, secludes himself from the worldly needs and becomes oblivious to what is going on in the world. Myequestion is, isn?t this similar to Sufism or to worship in the Hindu style is this what our religion and Quran teach us? Does praying in seclusion for ten days absolve a person of his sins and brings him closer and dearer to GOD? Does the Quran mention Aitikaf in any of its chapter.
True believe and helping others bring us closer to Allah.
34:37 And it is not your wealth nor your children and party that will bring you closer to Us, but he who truly believes and helps others. Such people will have a twofold reward for their deeds. It is they who will dwell in secure mansions. (25:75).
9:99 And among the Bedouins are those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and consider their spending as a means towards Allah and a means of supporting the Messenger. This will raise their ranks with Allah. Allah will embrace them with His Mercy. Verily, Allah is Forgiving, Gracious.
Remember that Allahs Mercy is close to the benefactors of humanity.(7:56) and not to the performer of rituals.
The Ummah has replaced action with ritual, and doing with reciting, hence, the global humiliation.
2:186 [This training program has nothing to do with asceticism. The mystics think that self-denial will bring them close to God.] But when My servants ask you concerning Me, I am indeed Near. I respond to the call of every caller whenever he calls unto Me. Hence, they should hear My Call and believe in Me, so that they might get the answers and follow the right way. [?My Call? = This Divine Writ, Al-Qur?an. It has answers to all their questions, and that is the way to approach Allah. 3:193-195, 7:56, 8:24, 32:15-16, 40:60, 42:25-26.] 2:187 (Practicing Abstinence is only for the daytime.) It has been made Lawful for you to go unto your wives on the night of the Abstinence. They are your garments and you are their garments - close to each other, source of mutual comfort, complementing each other, trustworthy and keepers of privacy, reason for d?cor, and redressers of faults. Allah is Aware that you would have deprived yourselves and so He turns to you and forgoes your misconceptions. So, now you may have intimate relations with them and, besides, seek all good that Allah has ordained for you. You may eat and drink until you can discern the white streak of light against the black streak of night at daybreak. Then complete the Abstinence until sunset. Do not have intimate relations with them while on special assignments in the Centers of the Divine System. These are the bounds set by Allah - so come not near violating them. It is thus that Allah explains His Commands unto mankind unambiguously, so that they understand and walk aright.
[?I?tikaf? = Special task = To be deputed = Extra duty = Unique assignment. ?Aakifun? = Those on ?I?tikaf?. Unfortunately, under the Ajami (alien) influences, the concept given to ?I?tikaf? has reduced this Sublime Ordinance to ten days of ascetic and ritualistic isolation in a mosque in the third part of Ramadhan. Obviously, this invented practice violates the Quranic injunction against monasticism and human rights (57:27.) ?Libas? = Garment = Raiment embraces all the meanings rendered.]
Surah 44 ? Ad-Dukhan ? The Smoke
[Authors note] This is the 44th Surah of the Quran and it has 59 verses. The Surah derives its name from the air pollution that will become wide spread in the world as nations industrialize. (41:11 also mentions Smoke, the nebulae of gas out of which the Universe was shaped billions of years ago). The brief verses in this Surah take us along with TASREEF and powerful concepts.
With the Glorious Name of Allah, the Instant and Sustaining Source of all Mercy and Kindness.
44:1 H.M. Ha-Mim. Hameed Owner of all Praise, Majeed Owner of all Glory, states that:
44:2 By this Divine Writ that is clear in itself and makes things clear.
44:3 Behold, We have revealed it on a Blessed Night, for, verily We have always been warning. (Revealed on the Prophets heart in a Blessed Night in the month of Ramadhan, 610 C.E., and then conveyed to mankind in stages over a period of 23 years. 2:185, 97:1).
44:4 Herein is distinctly presented every Matter of Wisdom.
44:5 A Command from Our Presence, behold, We have always been sending.
44:6 A Mercy from your Lord. Behold! He is the Hearer, the Knower.
Surah 97 ? Al-Qadr ? The Majesty
[Author?s note] This is the 97th Surah of the Quran. It has 5 verses. The Night of Majesty is when the Qur?an was revealed through Gabriel on the exalted Messenger?s heart in the month of Ramadhan in the year 610 C.E. Thereafter, it was revealed to mankind in stages over a period of 23 years. The Qur?an came as the Ultimate Criterion between the Right and the Wrong and ushered in a Splendor that has been spreading on earth during the last 14 centuries. (2:87-97, 2:185, 9:32-33, 14:1, 16:2, 17:85-86, 26:193, 42:52, 44:1-4, 70:4, 78:38, 81:17-19). With the Glorious Name of Allah, the Instant and Sustaining Source of all Mercy and Kindness. 97:1 Behold, We have revealed it in the Night of Majesty.
97:2 Ah, what will enlighten you what it is, the Night of Majesty!
97:3 The Night of Majesty is better than a thousand months. (A day of enlightenment is better than a life-time of ignorance).
97:4 The Universal forces and the Divine Revelation have descended therein, by their Lord?s Leave and shall work in concert with every Decree to carry out His plan.
97:5 Peace! It is a Message of Peace, and inevitably shall dawn a new Morning of Enlightenment (39:69).
The Quran was revealed in the month of Ramadan and Shab-e-Qadr or the Night of Significance or Revelation is also observed in Ramadan (97: 1-5) does God really want us to keep awake pray and on this night or the only significance of this night is that Quran was revealed on this night, but the exact date of revelation is not confirm so does God want us to keep awake every night of Ramadan and offer prayers? But this is not humanly possible so it is back to square one please throw some light on this point does abstinence from the world for 10 days absolve a person of his sins and gives him a free ticket to do as and what he pleases for the next 355 days.
Dua: Oh Allah, indeed we are sinners and indeed you are the best of all forgivers so we seek forgiveness in these last days of Ramadan, please forgive us. We seek to become better Muslims, so help us become better. We seek refuge from the shaitaan so save us from his domination. Grant us Jannah, and save us from hell fire. Aameen.
