Answer:

 

Misuse the aayah of Quran

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person,  no grave, no prophet,  no imam,  no dai,  nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Your Statement: Jazakallah you are doing very good work. you are extremely lucky that Allah gave oppurtunity to help people. I request you that if i can help you in any way please feel free to inform me. i will do my best.

All Praise is due to Allah Subhanah Alone Who has had Mercy on us,  and guided us to the Straight  Path of Islam.   Brother,  you cannot imagine our happiness when we received your email,  and you cannot imagine what your thoughts mean to us.   May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best in this world and honor you with the highest Firdaus in the Hereafter.  Ameen.

 

The best way you can help us brother,  is that you supplicate Allah Subhanah for us and implore him to give us the wisdom,  patience,  and steadfastness to strive in His Way to the best of our ability. We constantly pray and beg our Merciful Lord to accept our humble deeds,  have Mercy on all the believers,  forgive us our shortcomings,  and save us all from the torment of the Hell Fire.  Ameen.

 

Brother,  you will help us and contribute to the Cause of Allah by propagating the Truth of the Holy Quran to all who are around you,  wherever in the world you may be. May Allah Subhanah help you and us and guide you and us to invite all who want to listen to good caution,  to the very words and Message of The Merciful Lord.

 

Brother,  another way you can help us is by collecting and sending us the email addresses of the brothers and sisters who might be interested in receiving the Message of Truth;  or you could create your own database of email addresses and forward our humble articles,  or any other good Islamic articles from the Holy Quran to them. If we are able to help even one brother or sister to come closer to the guidance of the Holy Quran through our efforts,  we will have done our duty towards them.   

 

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.51 (part) Narrated by Sahl bin Sad

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said to Hadrat Ali (r.a.): "Proceed to them steadily till you approach near to them,  and then invite them to Islam and inform them of their duties towards Allah which Islam prescribes for them, for by Allah, if one man is guided on the right path (i.e. converted to Islam) through you, it would be better for you than (a great number of) red camels. (ie. The most valuable  possession at the time."

 

We implore Allah Subhanah that He reward you generously for your offer to help us in our humble effort and noble cause, and may He accept your words of encouragement to us,  as your contribution towards our humble forum.   

 

May Allah Subhanah bless you and your family,  and always keep you and us all,  in His Infinite Mercy and Protection.   

 

Your Question: i want to ask you that i am making yahoo group in which i mail Quranic ayats in any subject and miracles of Allah to muslims and to non muslims and there is possibility that may non muslims misuse ayats but my intentions is to inform them through mail so please tell me that i am doing right thing.

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran: Chapter 16, Surah An-Nahl Ayat 125:Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and excellent admonition and argue with people in the best manner. Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Way and who is Rightly guided.

 

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.1  Narrated by Umar bin Al Khattab

I heard the Messenger of Allah (saws) saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions, and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended."

 

Beloved brother in Islam, if your intentions are to invite the people to the words of Allah and His Messenger (saws), then it would indeed be a noble and worthy cause and effort; and a deed which would earn you a huge and unending reward from Allah Subhanah on a Day when every good deed will be appreciated and weighed by the Lord Most Merciful.

 

The enemies of Islam have and will continue to misuse or abuse the Truth in any way they can; but that should not stop you or us from doing what we are commanded to do.  They will be accountable for their deeds in the Just Court of Allah Subhanah, and we for ours. 

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah Taubah verses 32-33:

32      Fain would they extinguish Allah's light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, even though the ‘kaafirs’ may detest (it).

33      It is He Who hath sent His Messenger with guidance and religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religions; even though the ‘mushriks’ (polytheists) may detest (it).

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 61 Surah Saff verses 8-9:

8        Their intention is to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths: but Allah will complete (the revelation of) His Light even though the ‘kaafirs’ may detest (it).

9        It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it over all religions; even though the ‘mushriks’ may detest (it).

 

Starting a mailing group and spreading the Words of Allah Subhanah and His Messenger (saws) is indeed a brilliant idea in this age of the internet.  May Allah Subhanah guide you, help you, and bestow upon you His Unlimited Mercies and Grace, and give you the steadfastness to continue in this noble mission of yours.

 

Your Statement: please tell me that i am doing right thing.

Beloved and Respected Brother in Islam, not only would you be doing the right thing, you would be doing the Absolute Best Thing by guiding people to the Truth of the Quran and Sunnah! 

 

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 6.545         Narrated by Uthman

The Prophet (saws) said, "The Best among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it."

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,
