1) Swearing on Holy Quran and Telling Lies -
|
As a learned scholar had said swearing on Quran is not part of Islamic
teachings. In fact Quran warns if an individual swearing can be taken as
truth: Quran is to be read, recited and used as the Law and guidelines
for Muslims, not to be used as any other tools including for swearing.
"And obey not everyone who swears much, and is considered worthless,"
( ???? ????? , Al-Qalam, Chapter #68, Verse #10)
Have you (O Muhammad SAW) not seen those (hypocrites) who take for
friends a people upon whom is the Wrath of Allah (i.e. Jews)? They are
neither of you (Muslims) nor of them (Jews), and they swear to a lie while
they know.
( ???? ???????? , Al-Mujadila, Chapter #58, Verse #14)
On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all together (for their account),
then they will swear to Him as they swear to you (O Muslims). And they
think that they have something (to stand upon). Verily, they are liars!
( ???? ???????? , Al-Mujadila, Chapter #58, Verse #18)
Swearing in the Quran is thought by Surah An-Nur is swear 4 times by Allah's
names, with the fifth by invoking the curse of Allah if they tell a lie. However,
the Surah, specifically states, that this kind of swear is only when a husband
is accusing his wife of adultery but can't find 4 witnesses, also used by the
wife to defend herself.

2) A Wondrous Reality!!
What a wonderful thing it is to know Him {i.e. Allaah}!
But how can one know Him and not love Him?
How can one hear the caller, but fail to respond?
How can one know the profit that shall be gained in dealing with Him, but still prefer others?
How can one taste the bitterness of disobeying Him, but still abstain from seeking the pleasure of obeying Him?
How can one feel the severity of engaging in trivial speech, but fail to open your Heart with His remembrance?
How can one be tortured by being attached to others, but not rush toward the bliss of turning to Him in repentance?
Perhaps it is most surprising to know that while you are in need of Him, you are still reluctant to move toward Him because you seek others.
