“Be Rabbaani”

By SuhaibWebb on from www.suhaibwebb.com

What does is it mean to be ‘rabbaani’ or godly? We find the concept of rabbaaniyya mentioned in the Qur’an in Surah Ali-Imran: “It is not for a human [prophet] that Allah should give him the Scripture and authority and prophethood and then he would say to the people, ‘Be servants to me rather than Allah,’ but [instead, he would [...]

Raining what bombs? bullets? Indeed this image of the evil clown resonates when it comes to his man, reality is scarier than fiction. His cartoon-ish image augmented by his buffoonery had lulled the world into thinking that he was not capable of this level of mass murder.
