'AZAAN' - An Amazing Miracle!
| ||
Also a fulfillment of Biblical Prophecy
By Shahid Bin Waheed Azaan: is an incredible medium for the proclamation of Tawheed (Oneness of God) of Almighty Allaah and Risalaat (Prophethood) of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam, this Islaamic prayer call (sounding words) to Muslims, which constantly echoes around the globe five times every day. Amazing though it sounds, but fortunately for the Muslims of the world, it is an established fact. Have a look at a map of the world and you will find Indonesia (an Islaamic country) right on the eastern side of the earth. Indonesia consists of numerous small islands, the principle ones amongst them being Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Saibil, all of which are well known. It is the largest country in the world, with 180 million inhabitants. As soon as dawn breaks on the eastern side of Saibil, at approximately 5:30 am local time, Fajr Azaan begins. Thousands of Muâazzins in eastern Indonesia commence proclaiming the Tawheed (oneness) of the Almighty, Omnipotent and Omniscient Allaah and Risalaat (Universal Apostleship) of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam. Alexandria and Tripoli (capital of Libya) are located at an hour of difference from one another. The process of calling Azaan thus continues throughout the whole of Africa. Therefore, the proclamation of the Oneness of Allaah and the Prophethood of Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam that had begun in the eastern islands of Indonesia reaches the Eastern Shore of the Atlantic Ocean after nine and a half hours. 149:001 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. 149:002 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 149:003 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. 149:004 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. 149:005 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 149:006 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 149:007 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 149:008 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 149:009 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD. A careful reading of this prophecy reveals that in this prophecy the promised Prophet is portrayed as king and his followers as the holy and righteous. This means that the promised prophet would be a king who would exercise the sword for the glory of the God while avenging the heathens to execute God’s worth. The followers of promised prophet will wage war against the infidels. The particular characterization of the followers of promised prophet in the above prophecy there remains no doubt that it is about Muhammad (SAW) and his followers. Glorious Qur’aan says in 3:191! الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَى جُنُوبِهِمْ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَذَا بَاطِلًا سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ Those who remember Allâh (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): "Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted are You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire. Muslims recite and hymn the glory of the God in their prayers five times a day, during the war, in their prayers calls five times a day, during the month of Ramadan, during their two Eids, during their Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah for ten days each year) including all along the route and during their sojourn to Mina, Muzdalfa, and Arafaat and while circumambulating the Kaa’bah declaring the Greatness and Majesty of the God (Allaah). Contrary to this Jews and Christians use music, trumpets, coronets and bells that is to say meaningless activities in their service or congregation. They have no articles of faith and creed. Therefore, the glorification of the Lord mentioned in this prophecy is exclusive to Muhammad (SAW) and his followers alone. Muslims conquests with their “two-edged” swords as mentioned in the prophecy beginning from conquest of Makkah in the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) leading to the fall of Syria, Byzantine, Persia, Egypt, Constantinople, and many other countries with the capture of many of the rulers and nobles by the hands of Muhammad’s (SAW) followers is not alien to history. Jews and Christians cannot claim this prophecy to be about any prophet especially Jesus. References: http://www.islam-is-the-only-solution.com/ot13.htm |
