�HJ ARE�?

DURING THE PAST FOURTEEN CENTURIES, TRADITIONS, CUSTOMS, SUPERSTITIONS. AND INNOVATIONS HAVE CREPT INTO ISLAM. GRADUALLY, THESE INNOVATIONS CAME TO BE VESTED WITH RELIGIOUS SOLEMNITY TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT ANYONE WHO QUESTIONS THEM FIND Hitv'SELF REGARDED AS THE DANGERpus INNOVATOR AND HERETIC.

ISLAM TODAY IS LIKE A. PRECIOUS JEWEL THAT IS BURIED UNDER PILES UPON PILES OF MAN-MADE INNOVATIONS. OUR AIM IS TO PURGE OUT THE INNOVATIONS, AND PRESENT THE JEWEL OF ISLAM TO THE WORLD. ***************************••••············································�····

TO SAVE THE MUSLIM UMMAH

"ANYONE WHO DISOBEYS GOD AND HIS MESSENGER HAS DESERVED THE RETRIBUTION OF HELL, WHEREIN THEY ABIDE FOREVER." Cl2: 23>

Despite severe differences �hat plague the Muslim Ummah - sectarian, tribal, po!ltlcat and economic differences - even military conflicts and vicious wars - there Js one tnlng that the Musl1ms unanimously agree upon: THAT THE QUR'AN IS THE WORD OF GOO THAT WAS UTTERED BY THE FINAL PROPHET MUHAMMAD.

Every Mus I 1 m on earth, regardless of sect, race, color, and language, be 11 eves that Qur 'an was uttered by The honorable rr:essenger, upon inspiration from God, and that God has guaranteed Its preservation and protection from the slightest distortion, addlt lon..z. or loss.

HAPPINESS IS

SUBMISSION TO Goo ftLOME

WE MUST RETURN TO OBEYING iliE PROPHET

11 I · SWEAR BY EVERYTHING YOU SEE, ANO EVERYTHING YOU DO NOT SEE, THIS IS THE UTTERANCE OF AN HONORABLE MESSENGER.

The Qur1an affirms that disobeying God and His messenger incurs h�mlliatfon, defea+, misery, and shame both in this !ife and in the Hereafter.

"ANYONE WHO DISREGARDS MY IT IS NOT THE UTTERANCE OF MESSAGE SHALL SUFFER A A POET, RARELY DO YOU MISERABLE LIFE. THEN, ON BELIEVE. THE DAY OF RESURRECTION WE ,

For w�om the Lord loves, He chastises, even as a father does to the son he loves.

WHICH IS TO SAY THAT HE MADE PERFECT HAPPINESS

OBLIGATORY FOR YOU.

If you are a prisoner who cisc�vered the true path to 2od, and have decided to f'.)l low God's true religion, y'.)u are far more fortunate Than a billionaire who has f:iled to discover God.
