As Salaamu Alaykum!
For those of you who know me not much introduction is needed, but for the ones of you who have found your way here and it may be your first time let me briefly introduce myself.
I was born Joshua Evans in Greenville South Carolina in a very conservative Christian home and accepted Islam in the winter of 1998 after reading a copy of the Qur’an. My full story can be seen on youtube under the title of “how the Bible led me to islam’
I have worked for the past 11 years traveling the globe to help others understand the beautiful message of Islam as well as bring Muslims back to full faith and practice.
Due to declining health conditions I have been able to less and less travel and it has finally come to the point where I will be undergoing Spinal fusion surgery in my neck on October 19 in sha Allah to remedy those issues.
After my surgery I will be unable to do any travel nor any physical work for approx 4-6 months depending on the speed of recovery and rehab in sha Allah
During this downtime I do not want the work to come to a halt and want to use the time I’m down and unable to travel or do physical work to focus on a new avenue and path of sharing the beautiful message of Tawheed and Islam.
Thus Path 2 Peace productions is born! an outlet to allow me to do what I’ve always done but on a more professional and larger scale to reach a larger audience than I am ever able to in person.
We want to launch a professional recording and production studio environment focused on a few central goals-
1- Share the message of Islam in a holistic manner focused on bringing people from every walk of life to the understanding of true Islam and what it means and how it bring peace and harmony to their personal lives and the world at large
2- Present the ways in which Islam can bring solutions to many of the social and economic problems faced by the world at large today
3- We want to place a heavy focus on the youth, bringing the knowledge of Islam to their level and understanding, dealing directly with the issues they face every day that is far often misunderstood by their local communities and Imams so that they can have pride in their faith and answers to the problems that are uniquely theirs.
4-We want to make a designed program and curriculum designed for new Muslims, far too often they are forgotten and fall to the wayside after taking shahada without help or addressing their unique needs. I as a revert myself understand these challenges and want to develop programs designed to take them from the shahada to full integration into their faith and muslim community ins ha Allah
5- We want to develop a Da’wah curriculum and programming designed to help anyone who wishes to fulfill their obligation of sharing the message of Islam with the information and tools needed to be successful in sharing the message upon the Prophetic example
The funds collected will be used to secure studio space, purchase professional recording equipment (cameras, mics,computers for precessing/editing/upoloading,studio sets and to hire help for recording/editing/graphic design etc)
We will keep everyone updated along the way and plan to incorporate many other speakers who we believe to be in line with the same visions of this project, to help people find the Path 2 Peace which is Islam.
The time frame we have is short as I would like to have as much of this project up and running before surgery in sha Allah so that once my recovery starts I can focus on content and getting the products and programs out via a dedicated channel in the works on YOUTUBE as well as a dedicated app on Apple and Android
Anyone who supports this project can consider it as Sadaqatul Jariyah, a charity that continues to benefit them even after their death as everyone who is ever helped with this project all of the donors will receive the reward of those efforts
Please share this message and link with anyone you know whom you think can help this noble effort
Lastly I request dua for the success of this project with Allah’s aid and also please make dua for the success of my major upcoming surgery
Barakallahu Feekum (May Allah reward you all)
Your Brother

I’m afraid of practicing my Islam openly in the west. What do I do?
From His Signs are the night and the day
Posted on January 27, 2013 Leave a Comment
Shaykhul-Islaam Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhaab, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:
“From His signs are the night and the day the sun and the moon. From His creation are the seven heavens and the seven earths; those who are within them and those who are between them.”
Explanation
His statement: “From His signs are the night and the day the sun and the moon…”
Ayat are of two types:
The First Type: Universal Ayat which you see. Such as the heavens, the earth, the stars, the sun, the moon, the mountains, the trees, and the oceans; (these are all) called signs, because by way of them one gets an indication of their Creator, Glorified and Exalted be He. Due to this, Aboo Al-‘Itaahiyah said:
How strange is it how the Ilah (i.e. Allaah) is disobeyed
Or the insolent one can be insolent towards Him
In everything there is a sign of Him
Indicating that He is One
For Allaah, within every moving and still being
From Mankind, there is a witness
How can one be insolent against Allaah the Majestic and High, and say: “There is no Lord for this entire universe; these created beings came into existence by another creator.” And if they did come into existence with another creator, then who is this Creator other than Allaah the majestic and High; inform me?! You will not find a creator other than Allaah the Glorified and High.
أَمْ جَعَلُواْ لِلّهِ شُرَكَاء خَلَقُواْ كَخَلْقِهِ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْ قُلِ اللّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ
Or do they assign to Allaah partners who created the like of His creation, so that the creation (which they made and His creation) seemed alike to them.” Say: “Allaah is the Creator of all things, He is the One, the Irresistible.” (Ar-Ra’d 13:16)
The Second Type:
Qur’anic Ayat which are recited from the Revelation which was sent down to the Messenger ﷺ. All these are proofs for the Existence of the Lord, Glorified and Exalted be He; for His Perfection, His Attributes, His Names, and that He Alone has the right to be worshipped, there being no partners for Him. All of them indicate that; the universal Ayat and the Qur’anic Ayat.
The universal Ayat indicate their Creator, the One Who brought them into existence; the One who Dictates their Affair. The Qur’anic Ayat contain commands to worship Allaah and they contain confirmation of Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyah (Oneness of Lordship) and Tawheed Al-Uloohiyah (Oneness of Allaah’s Worship) is derived from them as is the command to worship Allaah, the Glorified and High. The entirety of the Qur’aan revolves around this matter and it was revealed for the sake of this affair.
From His signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. These are from the greatest of His signs, Glorified and Exalted be He. The dark night which covers this creation and the radiant day which enlightens this creation so that the people spread out engaging in their occupations. The Most High said:
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ اللَّيْلَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِضِيَاء أَفَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ ٧١ قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ النَّهَارَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهِ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ ٧٢ وَمِن رَّحْمَتِهِ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ٧٣
Say (O Muhammad ﷺ): “Tell me! If Allaah made night continuous for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is an Ilah (a god) besides Allaah who could bring you light? Will you not then hear?” Say (O Muhammad ﷺ): “Tell me! If Allaah made day continuous for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is an Ilah (a god) besides Allaah who could bring you night wherein you rest? Will you not then see?” It is out of His Mercy that He has put for you night and day, that you may rest therein (i.e. during the night) and that you may seek of His Bounty (i.e. during the day), and in order that you may be grateful. (Al-Qasas 28:71-73)
This is from the greatest signs of Allaah; this night and this day. The entire time does not consist of night nor does the entire time consist of day. This is because if the affair was like this then the benefits of the servants would be suspended and they will be exhausted.
Allaah has made for them the night and the day following each other in succession. Moreover, the night and the day are organized and neither of them differ nor do they change to the organizational structure of the other. From that which indicates the wisdom of the All-Wise (Glorified and Exalted be He, is that the actions of the servants and their concoctions will be destroyed and become mixed up, whatever they may be, and they will cease. As for the creations of Allaah the Mighty and Majestic, they will not fall apart except at a time wherein Allaah allows for them to fall apart.
So the night and the day run perpetually and neither of them break down; whereas the concoctions of the creation break down, malfunction, and expire; even if they are big and strong.
How many abandoned cars, planes, and trains do you see, whilst they were strong and useful; however, they expired and broke down. Do the night or the day break down? No. This is because their Manufacturer is All-Capable and All-Wise, Majestic and High be He.
صُنْعَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِنَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ
The Work of Allaah, Who perfected all things, verily! He is Well-Acquainted with what you do.(An-Naml 27:88)
