Important

Around two or three days ago, 4 of my friends sent me the same text that was :
" Ya Hasibo Ya Hasibo Ya Hasibo. 12 logon ko send karen inshAllah exam main 80 to 90% marks ayenge. Lekin Agar yakeen nahi aata hai tou beshak ignore kar ke dekh lo "
Then sometimes, i receive texts like :
" Forward if you love the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W). Let's see how much you love him"
What is the ruling on such messages? If I do not forward such messages, will I not get good grades? Will I be committing a sin? What do these text messages that people forward others mean? If I do not forward them, does that imply that I have no respect or love for the Prophet? 


NO. 


When I ask my friends as to why they have sent me such texts, they answer conveniently 
" It was a forwarded text :P."
" I dont believe in this but I forwarded it to you randomly. Seriously i know iss se kuch nahin hota"


Exactly. Forwarding such texts with an "If you don't forward then..." is plain wrong. If you use your cell phones to forward messages that are actually Ahadeeth or If you forward something that's beneficial for the other person and nice enough to read, GOOD. But who are you to decide what will happen to the person after it? Who are you to determine the punishment or a bad grade for me if i overlook or ignore, on purpose, the challenge that you place for me in the last line saying "Ignore and then see what happens."
Well, nothing happens. My faith and belief is strong enough that If i   do not forward this text at all or to exactly 12 people, I'd be thankful to you for telling me one name of Allah that's going to earn me some reward if I recite it excessively.
And if i go on telling people that this is a Dua you should recite, i don't go on forcing that person saying if you don't you will get bad luck in 10 days and if you do happiness will knock at your door in 10 days.


Is that even true?


Is it written anywhere that forwarding or not forwarding or spreading or not spreading will get me BAD LUCK?



And then,


I am sure most of you might have received messages like these :
" Please main hospital main hoon, bohat museebat main hoon, Allah Rasool ke waastey iss ********* number pe 20 ka load kara dain"



Interesting how these blackmailers send us texts giving us 'waastay'. This is wrong too. So, wait, they are in a hospital. Ok. they have a phone that has credit and they have another phone that does not. So even if there's any emergency, they'd message some unknown person and beg giving 'waastay of Allah Rasool' for credit? How true do you think this story is?


People who are double-minded because the other person has given a 'waasta', STOP IT. SERIOUSLY.
Once Again, this is wrong. So, these 'waastay' will do you no good or harm. You are being fooled.
Being sensible individuals, let's just stop this from going on. If people send you messages with false incentives, tell them there and then that it is WRONG and that they should stop doing it. This only shows how weak their own faith is and then, they're checking how strong yours is. THAT, my friend, is wrong. Nobody can determine how strong or weak your faith is and you are not even liable to prove to them anything.
