Grievous Destiny
179. Walaqad thara/na lijahannama katheeran mina aljinni waal-insi lahum quloobun la yafqahoona biha walahum aAAyunun la yubsiroona biha walahum athanun la yasmaAAoona biha ola-ika kaal-anAAami bal hum adallu ola-ika humu alghafiloona
179. And, certainly, We have prepared many, from the jinn and the mankind, for Hell. They have minds with which they understand not, and they have eyes with which they see not, and they have ears with which they hear not. They are but like stray cattle. They are the ones, unaware of their grievous destiny!

THE FUNNY THING ABOUT MOST “RELIGIOUS LEADERS” THEY HAVE TO RUN REAL FAST FROM SO FAR BEHIND TO GET AHEAD OF THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY ARE FOLLOWING GOD AND HIS INSTRUCTIONS
IMAGINE HOW SHOCKED THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS WILL BE TO FIND THAT THE REAL PROPHET MOHAMMAD THEY PAY LIP SERVICE TO PLANS ON DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE WARNED TO THOSE WHO FAILED TO DO WHAT HE SAID CHOOSING TO MAKING MONEY OFF IT PRETENDING TO WORSHIP WHAT HE SAID ONLY REALLY WORSHIPPED MONEY USING THE HIDDEN SHIRK TO HIGHER ART FORM.
Mohammad Shafi responds:
It is Allah Who shall do exactly as He warned. Prophet Muhammad - as also Jesus Christ before him - was just a Messenger of Allah, conveying Allah’s warning to mankind.

Sir,
With due regards, you have still not answered my query. This is in continuance with the topic, ” is Islam Incomplete Without Ahaadeeth? ”
Is wearing Gold Ornaments lawfull for Muslims ?
Regards
Shuaib
Mohammad Shafi responds:
To the best of my knowledge and belief, the Qur’aan does not specifically ban gold ornaments. But it indicates that ostentatious living is disapproved by Allah.

Prophet Mohamed PBUPH opposes man how wear silk robs and gold. So gold necklace are not appreciated fro Muslim man.
Mohammad Shafi responds:
There is no specific prohibition, in the Qur’aan, against wearing gold ornaments. But the Holy Book indicatesw that Allah Almighty abhors ostentatious lifestyles.
