[IslamCity] QUDSI HADITHS # 14 AND 15
Hadith Qudsi 14: On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: Allah (glorified and exalted be He) has supernumerary angels who rove about seeking out gatherings in which Allah's name is being invoked: they sit with them and fold their wings round each other, fillin that which is between them and between the lowest heaven. When [the people in the gathering] depart, [the angels] ascend and rise up to heaven. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h.) said: Then Allah (mighty and sublime be He) asks them - [though] He is most knowing about them: From where have you come? And they say: We have come from some servants of Yours on Earth: they were glorifying You (Subhana llah), exalting you (Allahu akbar), witnessing that there is no god but You (La ilaha illa llah), praising You (Al-Hamdu lillah), and asking [favours] of You. He says: And what do they ask of Me? They say: They ask of You Your Paradise. He says: And have they seen My Paradise? They say: No, O Lord. He says: And how would it be were they to have seen My Paradise! They say: And they ask protection of You. He says: From what do they ask protection of Me? They say: From Your Hell-fire, O Lord. He says: And have they seen My Hell-fire? They say: NO. He says: And how would it be were they to have seen My Hell-fire: They say: And they ask for Your forgiveness. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said: Then He says: I have forgiven them and I have bestowed upon them what they have asked for,and I have granted them sanctuary from that from which they asked protection. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said: They say: O Lord, among then is So-and-so, a much sinning servant, who was merely passing by and sat down with them. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said: And He says: And to him [too] I have given forgiveness: he who sits with such people shall not suffer. It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, at-Tirmidhi, and an- Nasa'i). - --- Hadith Qudsi 15: On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Allah the Almighty said: I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assemble better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed. (1) Another possible rendering of the Arabic is: I am as My servant expects Me to be. The meaning is that forgiveness and acceptance of repentance by the Almighty is subject to His servant truly believing that He is forgiving and merciful. However, not to accompany such belief with right action would be to mock the Almighty. It was related by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn- Majah). __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

[IslamCity] IMPORTANCE OF TAHJUD PRAYERS
Those who keep awake at night will be admitted to heaven without an account being taken of their deeds (93) It is related by Asma bin Yazid that the Apostle of God said: One the Judgement Day all men, after being raised upon again, will be gathered together in a vast and flat plain [and] the herald of the Lord will call out, Where are they whose sides kept away from bed during the night [i.e., who used to leave their beds in order to offer up the Tahajjud prayers]? These men will stand up after this announcement and their number will not be large. After it, they will enter Heaven without being brought to account. All the rest of men will, then, be commanded to report themselves for the Reckoning. -Baihaqi __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[IslamCity] HOW SHORT EASY THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT WILL BE FOR BELIEVERS
How short and easy the day of judgement will be for believers (92) It is narrated by Abu Saeed Khadri that [once] he went to the Apostle of God and said: The Day of Judgement, about which it has been said: On that Day men will stand in the presence of the Lord of the Worlds, who will have the strength to remain standing on it [i.e., who will be able to stand throughout the Day of Judgement about which it is stated in the Quran and the Traditions that it will be equal to fifty thousand years]? The Prophet replied, For the truthful Believers it will be made easy to stand on that Day so much so that it will be like standing for an obligatory prayer-service. -Baihaqi Commentary.-An indication of what the Prophet told Abu Saeed Khadri is also available in the Quran which reads: For when the Trumpet shall sound, surely that day will be a day of anguish, not of ease, for the disbelievers.

TO USA MP in asylum row to move to US From correspondents in Amsterdam Reuters May 16, 2006 http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,19151953-23109,00.html AYAAN Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born Dutch politician known for her outspoken criticism of Islam, will leave parliament and move to the US after admitting she lied to win asylum in the Netherlands. Ms Hirsi Ali, 36, sought asylum in the Netherlands in 1992, claiming to be escaping from an arranged marriage. She gained Dutch citizenship in 1997 and was elected to parliament in 2003. A storm erupted about her asylum application last week after a Dutch television documentary interviewed members of her family about her background. They said she had not been forced into an arranged marriage and had had nothing to fear. Asked whether she had falsified her asylum application, Ms Hirsi Ali told the program she lied about her name, age and how she came to the Netherlands. The program prompted calls for her to leave parliament and even be stripped of citizenship. The MP came to international prominence in 2004 when an Islamic militant killed filmmaker Theo van Gogh after he directed a film she wrote accusing Islam of suppressing women. Ms Hirsi Ali's office declined to comment on reports in the Dutch media today that she was leaving, but said she planned to address a news conference tomorrow. I think it is a painful loss both for Dutch society and for politics that Ayaan leaves parliament, said Jozias van Aartsen, a former parliamentary leader of the VVD liberals, which is Ms Hirsi Ali's party and part of the centre-right government. I think it says something about the state of the country: overly sensitive and provincial, Mr Van Aartsen told Dutch radio. The Volkskrant newspaper said Ms Hirsi Ali would start working for the conservative American Enterprise Institute in September after reaching a deal with US authorities about her security. The paper said Ms Hirsi Ali had also been in negotiations with two other institutes, the Johns Hopkins University and the Brookings Institution, over the past months. Dutch Radio 1 said the move had been planned for some time, but was brought forward because Ms Hirsi Ali has to leave her heavily-guarded home in August after a court ruled she must move because neighbours had complained of the security risk. Ms Hirsi Ali went into hiding after Van Gogh's killing due to death threats and only returned to parliament months later. Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk, vying to be the VVD's lead candidate in the 2007 general election, said on Sunday she would launch an investigation into Ms Hirsi Ali's citizenship. Ms Hirsi Ali, whose real name is Hirsi Magan, pretended she had come to the Netherlands from Somalia, rather than via Kenya and Germany. Refugees are usually required to apply for asylum in the first safe country they reach after fleeing. Immigration has been a hot topic since 2002 when populist Pim Fortuyn said the country could not absorb more foreigners. He was killed by an animal rights activist later that year but mainstream politicians have since taken up his ideas. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,19151953-23109,00.html *** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.

[IslamCity] Understanding Broadband
First of all, you must know some of the jargon! The word broadband itself simply is defined as a high speed Internet service that gives you continuous access to the Internet on a consistent basis. Broadband includes a technology called ADSL which stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line and requires a special modem to access the line. This technology uses standard copper telephone lines to provide Internet access speeds from 1.5 to 9 megabytes per second. DSL technologies or Digital Subscriber Lines use a higher frequency than standard telephone communication. There are several types of DSL configurations including ADSL or Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Lines, HDSL or High data rate DSL, and VDSL or Very High Data Rate DSL. A DSL line dynamically increases the capacity of ordinary copper wire. Since the signal is stronger the closer you are to the DSL Access Multiplexor or DSLAM the faster your signal will be the closer you are to the DSL provider's Central Office or distribution point. DSL lines are typically used for small business and residential customers. Of course as your needs grow, it should be understood; that the more data you need to transfer, the larger the pipe (Internet access line or physical copper wire) you need to transport the data. This is where more sophisticated forms of broadband come in for business use. Read more information at : http://online-articles.org/broadband-internet/site-map.php The technical terms for this type of broadband is measured by the amount of data that the line transfers. T1 -Transmits data in the range of 1.5 million bits per second and primarily used by small and medium sized business with heavy upload and Internet traffic. A T-1 line is usually leased by bandwidth used. Typical uses are large graphic files, photographs, sound files, music, video, etc. However, your company should evaluate the amount of data and computers that are connected for Internet Access at the same time. T1 lines in the United States carry a 24 pulse code modulation (PCM) signal using time-division multiplexing (TDM). These lines use copper wire which usually connect major metropolitan areas. There are a number of high quality companies that offer T1 Broadband and you will find that prices do vary so it is important that you compare. You may also find that your local cable provider may have introduced their version of broadband which actually can emulate one side of a T1 connection. However, you should be aware... You may actually get 1.5 mpbs on the download side, but when you try to upload a file, your bandwidth is cut down to about 1/10th. A cable connection is made for residential customers to surf the Internet with great speed and download files, but not made for you to upload with great speed. This slow upload limit is the major difference between a real T1 line and cable.Read more information at : http://online-articles.org/broadband-internet/site-map.php There are many types of broadband connections that are much faster circuit than T1, these range from T3 (3 times faster than T1) to OC-48, and a frame relay connection which really are the same thing just MUCH larger pipes (lines) that can transmit the data. I have found while working with broadband providers you really need a persona coach to help guide you through the process. Not only can personal coaches such as ImageLink Networks guide you through the red tape, the efficiency that comes from our presence and telecom knowledge will save you time and money in the end. It is important to seek an unbiased opinion and research for the best real time price for your T1 line. Broadband is a commodity, and changes as new subscribers come online in specified areas. To make a long story shorter, you are ready for a broadband connection if you are tired of waiting for a standard dial up to connect and download. Do not be confused, dial up companies use a standard phone line to connect you to their server to bring you an Internet connection. One thing is for sure, if you ever experience a broadband connection via cable, T1, T3, DS-3, or better you will never ever go back to dial up.Read more information at : http://online-articles.org/broadband-internet/site-map.php *** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.

[IslamCity] Are We Really Supposed To Hate Non-Muslims? (Part II)
As we discussed last time, those who are bent on promoting the "Doctrine of Hatred" cite verse 60:4 and the example of Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Yet, it is clear that this understanding is not valid when the verse is examined in its proper context. Thus, again, I can say truthfully that there is no basis for the claim that Muslims must hate all non-Muslims. None whatsoever.Yet, there are other considerations that further strengthen my contention for the lack of evidence for the "Doctrine of Hatred." First of all, there are some verses that tell the Prophet what to do in case the people "turn away," or reject what he is saying: Behold, this is indeed the truth of the matter [about Jesus not being God], and there is no deity whatever save God; and, verily, God - He alone - is almighty, truly wise. And if they turn away [from this truth] - behold, God has full knowledge of the spreaders of corruption. (3:62-63) [emphasis added]Say: "O followers of earlier revelation! Come unto that tenet which we and you hold in common: that we shall worship none but God, and that we shall not ascribe divinity to aught beside Him, and that we shall not take human beings for our lords beside God." And if they turn away, then say: "Bear witness that it is we who have surrendered ourselves unto Him." (3:64) [emphasis added]But if they turn away [from thee, O Prophet, remember that] thy only duty is a clear delivery of the message [entrusted to thee]. (16:82)Say: Pay heed unto God, and pay heed unto the Apostle. And if you turn away [from the Apostle, know that] he will have to answer only for whatever he has been charged with, and you, for what you have been charged with; but if you pay heed unto him, you will be on the right way. Withal, the Apostle is not bound to do more than clearly deliver the message [entrusted to him]. (24:54)No where in these verses does it say, "If they turn away, then hate them." So, on what basis are Muslims supposed to hate all non-Muslims? Now, to be completely honest and forthcoming, in verse 3:32 it does say: Say: "Pay heed unto God and the Apostle." And if they turn away - verily, God does not love those who deny the truth.Yet, I do not conclude from this verse that I am, therefore, supposed to hate all non-Muslims. My guiding principle when it comes to my non-Muslim friends, colleagues, and neighbors is verse 60:8.Secondly, in verse 3:110 it says: You are indeed the best community that has ever been brought forth for [the good of] humanity: you enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong, and you believe in God... How can Muslims be the "best community that has ever been brought forth for [the good of] humanity" if they must harbor hatred in their heart of hearts for all those who are not Muslim? Does this make any sort of sense? Thirdly, in verse 4:36 it says: And worship God [alone], and do not ascribe divinity, in any way, to aught beside Him. And do good unto your parents, and near of kin, and unto orphans, and the needy, and the neighbour from among your own people, and the neighbour who is a stranger and the friend by your side, and the wayfarer, and those whom you rightfully possess. In this verse, God commands the believers to do good unto their neighbors, and it does not stipulate the faith of these neighbors. Similarly, in a tradition reported in both Bukhari and Muslim, the Prophet (pbuh) said: "Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him to do good unto his neighbor." Again, the Prophet (pbuh) did not stipulate the faith of that neighbor. In addition, the wayfarer very well can be a non-Muslim, and the verse did not stipulate the faith of the wayfarer. How can Muslims obey these commandments if they are supposed to harbor hatred in their heart of hearts for all those who are not Muslims? Does this make any sort of sense? Fourthly, in verse 5:5 it says: Today, all the good things of life have been made lawful to you. And the food of those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime is lawful to you, and your food is lawful to them.

So, a Muslim can eat a Kosher meal, but must remember that he has to hate the Jews who prepared it? Does this make any sort of sense? Furthermore, if Muslims are supposed to hate all those who are not Muslim (such as Jews and Christians), how could it be that God would allow Muslim men to marry Jewish and Christian women?

[IslamCity] CBC, GM, Citizen articles - CUPE Ontario votes to boycott Israel !!
http://www.cbc.ca/storyview/MSN/canada/national/2006/05/27/cupe-sat.html CUPE in Ontario votes to boycott IsraelLast Updated Sat, 27 May 2006 19:48:20 EDT CBC NewsThe Ontario divison of Canada's largest union has voted to support an international campaign that is boycotting Israel over its treatment of Palestinians. Delegates to the Canadian Union of Public Employees Ontario convention in Ottawa voted overwhelmingly Saturday to support the campaign until it sees Israel recognizing the Palestinians' right to self-determination. The Ontario group represents more than 200,000 workers. The global campaign started last July and has been supported by many North American churches, 20 Quebec organizations, and others, Canadian Press said. CUPE also condemned what they called Israel's "apartheid wall," saying it is illegal under international law. "Boycott, divestment and sanction worked to end apartheid in South Africa," said Katherine Nastovski, chairwoman of the CUPE Ontario international solidarity committee. "We believe the same strategy will work to enforce the rights of Palestinian people, including the right of refugees to return to their homes and properties." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060527.wcupe0527/BNStory/National/homeCUPE Ontario supports campaign against IsraelCanadian Press OTTAWA Ontario's largest public sector union has voted to support an international campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel. Delegates to the Canadian Union of Public Employees convention in voted overwhelmingly Saturday to support the campaign until Israel recognizes the Palestinian right to self-determination. The global campaign started last July and has been supported by many North American churches, 20 Quebec organizations, and others.The Israeli apartheid wall has been condemned and determined illegal under international law, CUPE said in a release. Under the resolution approved by delegates, CUPE Ontario will develop an education campaign about the issue, including Canada's political and economic support for Israeli policies, similar to the campaign developed by CUPE British Columbia. Canada has a free trade agreement with Israel, the only such agreement this country has outside of the western hemisphere, the union noted. In Ontario, the liquor control board carried more than 30 Israeli wines, many produced in the occupied Golan Heights, CUPE said. Boycott, divestment and sanction worked to end apartheid in South Africa, said Katherine Nastovski, chairwoman of the CUPE Ontario international solidarity committee.

[IslamCity] FATAWAA For The Relief of NATURAL CALAMITIES
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Do the people of the towns feel secure against the coming of Our wrath by night while they are asleep? Or else, do they feel secure against its coming in broad daylight while they play about (carefree)? Do they then feel secure against the plan of Allah But no-one can, (unwisely), feel secure from the plan of Allah, except those (doomed) to ruin! (Surat al-A'raf: 97-99) Allah surely creates all these disasters as "warnings" to mankind. He is exalted in power and He has power over all things. Allah testifies to this in the verse:Say: "He has power to send calamities on you, from above and below." (Surat al-An'am 6:65)~~~ The Prophet (SAW) said, Whoever relieves a believers distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allaah will rescue him from a difficulty of the difficulties of the hereafter Allah is helping the servant as long as the servant is helping his brother."

[IslamCity] THE IMORTANCE OF READING QURAN WITH TAJWID!
Is it obligatory on all Muslim to know the proper pronounication of quranic letters and the tajweed? Question Is it obligatory on all Muslim to know the proper pronounication of quranic letters and the tajweed? Answer THE IMPORTANCE OF TAJWID An Arabic adage proclaims: The speech of the kings is the king of all speech. So, can the excellency of the speech of the kings of all kings Allah Taala even be equated with man-made speech. One of the many miracles of the noble Quraan is that regardless of the number of times it is recited, one never gets tired nor bored with its recitation. Allah Taala says in the noble Quraan, Indeed the believers are those who tremble with fear when Allah is remembered and when the verses of the Quraan are recited before them, it increases their belief and upon Allah they have complete trust. (8:2) One of the salient points mentioned in this verse is that when a believer recites the noble Quraan in the correct manner, it increases his faith and belief in Allah. Reciting the noble Quraan in the correct manner means to recite it with Tajwid. What is Tajwid Allah Taala says in the noble Quraan, And recite the Quraan with Tarteel. (73:4) When asked about the meaning of Tarteel, Hadhrat Ali (Radhiallaahu Anhu) replied, It means that the Quraan should be recited with Tajwid and with due observance to the rules of Waqf (pausing or stopping at the end of the verse). Tajwid means to recite every letter correctly, i.e. from its proper origin of pronunciation coupled with its stipulated attributes. According to Imaam Jawzi (Rahmatullaahi Alayhi), the verse, Verily my people have renounced the Quraan has two interpretations. Firstly, it could mean that they had renounced the Quraan by not believing in it and practicing upon it. And secondly, it could mean that they used to recite the Quraan in such a disgusting manner that it sounded like senseless and meaningless jabbering. Reading the Quraan without Tajwid could also be included in the second interpretation. Tajwid from the Hadith Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has said, Indeed Allah desires that the Quraan be recited in the manner it was revealed. This Hadith clarified by the Aayat and, We revealed the Quraan with Tartil. (2:32) The definition of Tartil has been explained above. Since the Quraan emphatically commands us to recite the Quraan with Tajwid, it is Fardh to recite the Quraan with Tajwid. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has said, The Quraan will either testify in your favour or against you. Hence, if we fail to observe the requirements of the noble Quraan during our recitation, the Quraan will testify against us. If we are unacquainted with these prerequisites, we are compelled to acquire the laws of Tajwid. Due to the vastness of the Arabic language, any small mistake in pronunciation of a letter or word may change the meaning of that word. For example, the word Qalb (with q) means heart, if read Kalb (with k), it will mean a dog. So just as how in any other language we learn pronunciation of letters and words, for example, in English we learn that ph stands for f (as in phone) and not pone. Similarly, in the Arabic language, we also have to learn pronunciation of letters and words, which we term as Tajwid. Tajwid is not like all other subjects which we are able to separate from the Quraan but instead Tajwid and Quraan work hand in hand. If there is no Tajwid with Quraan, there is no Quraan. The question may arise that, how can such a statement be made that if a person reads Quraan without Tajwid, he is not read Quraan? Yes, such a statement is 100% correct. Our beloved Rasul (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) states in one Hadith, There are a lot of readers that read the Quraan but the Quraan curses them instead of making Duaa for them. We get some people nowadays who spend hours and hours reciting the Quraan thinking that they are getting and attaining great rewards. But because there pronunciation of letters is incorrect, a very big problem arise. It sounds very small when we say, I am only pronouncing a letter incorrectly.. But did this thought ever cross our minds that when a letter changes in a word, the word changes and if a word changes in a sentence then the whole sentence changes and eventually the meaning also changes. So from this, we understand the Hadith of our Rasul (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), that some people read so much of the Quraan but because they do not know the correct pronunciation of the letters, they change the letters which then changes the words which eventually leads to the changing of the sentence and meaning of the Quraan. So, the Quraan in turn, instead of making Duaa for such people it curses them. We should also remember that from the time and generation of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) till now, no one has ever denied this fact that Tajwid is compulsory. It is only now in

[IslamCity] Cure by Quran
I also read a book Written by ABU AMEENAH a scholar in Islam , that the wearing of anything as protection is SHIRK A person should read certain surahs for various ailment and not wearing it I read a book on Remedies from the Quran written by HADRAT MOULANA ASHRAF ALI THANAVI In the book there are many section for various remedies that suggested to wearing of TAWEEZ to avoid evil, jadoo , etc. It is mentioned in various ailment that certain ayat should be written on a cloth or paper and wear it on the neck as taweezAnswer 152572005-08-31Allah Taãla says in the Noble Qurãn, 'In the Qurãn is (spiritual, physical) cure for people.' The opening chapter of the Noble Qurãn, Surah Faatiha is also called the chapter of Shifaa. It is recorded in the Bukhari Shareef vol. 1 p. , 'A ruler of a certain clan was stung by a creature, the people of the area requested the Sahaaba to cure him, one Sahaabi read Surah Faatiha and blew on the affected area and cured the ruler. The Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) even praised the Sahaabi for doing so. From the above quotations, it is clear that the verses of the Noble Qurãn is a means of cure. Treating oneself with Taweez containing verses of the Qurãn is similar to treating oneself with medication. By using medication, one merely places his trust in Allah Taãla and use the medication as a means of cure. The effect in the means is with the Will of Allah Taãla so, too is the usage of the Taweez. The art of making Taweez is a science independent to other known sciences. People who have studied this science are most knowledgeable to explain its vast understanding. One thing must be outlined at the outset is that anyone practising the making of Taweez cannot ascribe (in his method and application) partners with Allah Taãla. Any act of Kufr is unacceptable in Islam. The people during the time of Jaahiliyya had an incorrect belief that the stars and planets cause rainfall, but the Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) dismissed that. The drawings and illustrations used in Taweez are like the concepts used in geometry, etc. to arrive at a solution. In conclusion, consider the following Hadith: Abu Khuzaymah (Radhiallaahu Ánhu) narrates from his father that he asked Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam), 'Inform me about Rukan (blowing in water and Taweez), medication, and means of security, does it change Taqdeer (predestination)? He replied, 'They (all the above) are within Taqdeer. (Mishkãt pg. 22) and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best Mufti Ebrahim Desai How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!

We have to change the way we are using these scientific innovated products. Asour God(Almighty Allah) blessed us a brain and we are the only creators of HIS which have the greatest rank in HISall creation,and HE alsogave us power to innovate new things and sense to use/utilization ofthose thingsSo, its better that we should have to follow the right way instead to ignoring the things.As I believe God made two ways for each and single track, now its totally up to us which one we follow Sir, please amend me if I'm wrong in any point! Looking forward for your kind response!

Ask anybody who chats on the internet regularly and they will tell you that sometimes it is difficult to transfer your _expression_ to your chatting buddy, so a smiley face (as they are known) are concatenated to the sentence to show the writers mood. Answer 15883 2005-10-07 Chatting on the internet is similar to speaking on the telephone. It is not permissible for male or female to speak on the telephone to the opposite gender who is a Ghayr Mahram (not prohibited in marriage) freely and without necessity. If there is a genuine need which is valid in Shariah, then members of the opposite gender may speak through the telephone with modesty and confine the discussion to the need. To speak freely and beyond necessity is a sin. The same rule applies for chatting on the internet. No person should decide him/herself what is a valid reason in Shariah to speak on the phone or chat on the internet. Many people have their own interpretations of genuine need which is not acceptable in Shariah. We are aware of many such people who have caused ruin to their lives especially by chatting on the internet with the opposite gender.
