Question: Some people pick up the Mus-haf and look at it without moving their lips. Can this be called reading Qur'aan? Or is it essential to pronounce the words audibly in order to earn the reward for reading Qur'aan? Will a person be rewarded for looking at the Mus-haf? Please advise us, may Allaah reward you with good. Answer: Praise be to Allaah. There is nothing to prevent a person looking at the Qur'aan without reciting it, in order to ponder its meanings and understand it. But he is not considered to be reading Qur'aan when he does that, and he does not earn the reward for reading it unless he pronounces (the words of) the Qur'aan, even if those around him do not hear him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Read the Qur'aan, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection to intercede for its companions. (Narrated by Muslim). What he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) meant by its companions is those who act upon it, as stated in other ahaadeeth. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Whoever reads one letter of the Qur'aan will have one hasanah, and the hasanah will be rewarded tenfold. (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and al-Daarimi with a saheeh isnaad). And one cannot be counted as reading Qur'aan unless once actually pronounces it. And Allaah is the source of strength.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Muslim Brotherhood's Supreme Guide Mohamed Mahdi Akef remains defiant in the face of a major security clampdown
Worried about the future The Muslim Brotherhood's Supreme Guide Mohamed Mahdi Akef remains defiant in the face of a major security clampdown. The arrests of Brotherhood members, he tells Amira Howeidy, will not alter their path "The National Democratic Party's convention worries me because of what it could do to Egypt, not the Brotherhood. This conference will take Egypt backwards. If this conference had Egypt's interests in mind, its agenda and the topics they want to discuss should have been made public. But there is consensus now that there is a group within the NDP that makes decisions and modifies laws that only enforce tawreeth (Gamal Mubarak succeeding his father)." "For the Brotherhood Bush is the enemy. And how does Bush deal with his enemies? The same way Gamal and Hosni Mubarak deal with us." Mohamed Mahdi Akef, 78, is the seventh supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood. A series of controversial statements he has made over the past two months have kept him on the front pages of the Egyptian press and provoked Ihab Khalifa, a lawyer, to sue him in court for allegedly "inciting the murder of Arab leaders". The following interview was conducted before the National Democratic Party's fourth convention and Pope Benedict's controversial statements on Islam and the Prophet Mohamed. Akef responded with a statement on 17 September describing the pope's words as an insult to Islam and Muslims and demanded a clear apology. Following are excerpts from the interview conducted in his office in Cairo: Muslim Brotherhood MPs have been busy discussing constitutional changes and recently offered their vision of what the constitution should look like. But what's the point when whatever you say will fall on deaf ears? We are aware of the government's dictatorial approach to passing laws and that nothing stops them. But we have a duty as the Muslim Brotherhood to declare the truth regardless of whether [our constitutional vision] is acted upon. From experience we know the National Democratic Party doesn't have a coherent philosophy. It simply commands a voting bloc that promotes tyranny. But we take our work seriously, we consult on legal and constitutional matters and then we present our vision to the people and to parliament. There has been speculation that the NDP wants to change from an individual candidacy to a slate system in elections to prevent the Brotherhood from standing as a group. Does this worry you? [Political expert] Diaa Rashwan has written about this explicitly, saying the change is being engineered behind closed doors by the group around Gamal Mubarak but I really don't give it much attention. My first concern is the glaring injustice with which the state treats the Muslim Brotherhood, arresting our people with or without charges and throwing them in jail. Detentions continue to be extended without justification. It surprises me that the Egyptian press doesn't find such a serious development worthy of their attention. For me it is my top priority. How do we stop the injustice inflicted on our sons? It is the recklessness, the tyranny, corruption and oppression by the state of its people that disturbs me now. As for amending the constitution and efforts to promote Gamal Mubarak as his father's successor, we know that the government has enough voting power to institutionalise such corruption and tyranny. We can also see clearly how a hostile American-Zionist strategy is targeting the Arab and Muslim nation. It is our mission to expose this, and support anyone who resists it, whether in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine or Lebanon. A large number of the group's leaders is currently detained. Is this the price you are paying for having 88 MPs, and if so how will you deal with the situation? I want the public to be aware of this situation and wake up. We do what we have to do, we fulfil our duties. There is clearly a link between the hostile [US-Zionist] strategy and the clampdown on the Brotherhood. If the [government] had not received a green light to do this to us they would not act in such a way. The situation was different during the first stage of the parliamentary elections when the regime was facing [external] pressure. Back then the MB dismissed suggestions that the government was allowing the group to campaign freely because of pressure from the US administration... I wanted to embarrass the regime, though they didn't understand. I could have said there was US pressure, and I know there was, but I thought it more appropriate to attribute the [relaxed environment] to Mubarak's election platform which talked about democracy and cancelling the emergency law. I wanted to attribute the change to him rather than the West... And now, is it not the case that the US is giving them the green light to fight everything Islamic? Have the recent

Be that as it may, I also get a sensethat you are desperate to get yourself out ofShaitaan's clutches and that you wish to free yourselffrom this burden which weighs so heavily on you. It isunfortunate that your cousin trifled with you at sucha vulnerable age. Allow me to say that you should notlet these incidents impact negatively on your life forever. Let us look at what has become widely acceptable andfashionable in most countries in the world lately.Youshould understand that a big deal is made ofabortions, gambling, group sex, wife swapping,pornography, kidnapping of human beings for the sextrade (human trafficking), sexual abuse of childrenand child porn. I probably am unaware of many otherdeviant actions which are acceptable to human beingsthese days and you see that the list is endless. Addto this tally the so called 'marriage' between man andman/ woman and woman which is also normal now and dareone speak out against it. Sister, where do we draw theline?We clearly get the picture that what is loved byshaitaan is being loved increasingly by people andwhat is loved by Allah Ta'ala is put on the backburner. You say that you hate yourself. Dont hate yourself foryou are Allah Ta'ala's creation just as we all are. Hedid not create you in vain. You are undergoing a testat the moment.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Virtues of Ramadhaan: Hadith No 7
Virtues of Ramadhaanby Sheikhul Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya HADITH NO. 7Ibn Umar (Radhi Allaho anho) relates: Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said: 'Verily Allah and His Malaa'ikah send Mercy upon those who eat 'Sehri' (sower-Suhoor)." COMMENTARYHow great is Allah's favour upon us that even the partaking of food before dawn for fasting is so greatly rewarded. There are many Ahaadith in which the virtues of "Sehri" are expounded and the rewards mentioned. Allaamah Ain - Commentator on Bukhari - has quoted the virtues of "Sehri" from seventeen different 'Sahaabah' and all the "Ulama" are agreed on its being "Mustahab" (desirable). Many people are deprived of this great reward because of their own laziness. Some even go so far as to finish 'Taraweeh', eat (what they suppose to be "Sehri'!) and go to bed. What great blessings do they lose! "Sehri" actually means partaking of food shortly before dawn. Some authorities say that the time for "Sehri" commences after half the night has passed (Mirquat). The author of Kash-shaff (Zamakhshari) divided the night into six portions, stating that the last one of these is the time of "Sehri"; so that, when the night (from sunset till dawn) extends over twelve hours, the last two hours would be the correct time for "Sehri". Then it must also be remembered that to eat at the latest possible time is better and greater in reward than eating earlier, subject to the condition that no doubt remains as to whether "Sehri" had been eaten before the time of dawn. The Ahaadith are full of virtues of "Sehri". Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said: 'The difference between our fasting and that of the Ahlul-Kitaab (Jews and Christians) lies in our partaking of food at "Sehri" which they do not." The Prophet has said, "Eat Sehri, because in it lie great blessings; and again. "In three things, are the great blessings: in "Jama'ah" (company), in eating "Thareed" and in "Sehri". In this Hadith, the use of the word "Jama'ah" is general, wherefrom we deduce that it includes "Salaat" with "Jamaa'ah" and all those righteous deeds done in company, as thus Allah's help comes to them. "Thareed" is a tasty preparation, in which baked bread is cooked with meat. The third thing mentioned in this Hadith is "Sehri". When Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) used to invite any of the companions to eat "Sehri" with him, he used to say: "Come and partake of blessed food with me." One Hadith says: "Eat 'Sehri' and strengthen yourself for the fast. And sleep in the afternoon (Siesta), so as to gain assistance in waking up in the latter portion of the night (for "Ibaadah")." Abdullah bin Haarith (Radhiallahu Anhu) reports that one of the Sahaaba said: "I once visited Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihi wasallam) at a time when he was busy in partaking of 'Sehri'. Rasulullah then said: "This is a thing full of blessings, which Allah has granted you. Do not give it up." Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) in urging us repeatedly for 'Sehri' has said: "Even though there be no food, then one date should be eaten or a drink of water taken." Thus, when there are definitely great advantages and reward in 'Sehri', Muslims should endeavour to observe this practice as much as possible. However, in all things moderation is important, and going beyond the bounds of moderation is harmful: neither should so little be eaten that one feels weak throughout the period of fasting, nor should so much be eaten that it causes discomfort. Repeatedly, we have been prohibited from filling the stomach excessively. In his commentary on "Sahih Bukhari", Ibne Hajar has mentioned various reasons for the blessedness of "Sehri": Because in it, the 'Sunnah' is followed. Through "Sehri", we differentiate ourselves from the ways of Ahlul-Kitaab, which we are at all times called upon to do. It provides strength for "Ibaadah" It promotes greater sincerity in "Ibaadah" It aids in elimination of bad temper, which normally comes about as result of hunger. 'Sehri' is the time when prayers are accepted. At the time of 'Sehri', one gets the opportunity to remember Allah, makes Dhikr and lifts up the hand to Him in prayer. These are a few of the major reasons; there are many others as well. Some 'Sufis' are in doubt as to whether the eating of 'Sehri' conflicts with the object of fasting or not. They maintain that the object of fasting is to stay away from food, drink and sexual desires, therefore 'Sehri' is against the object of fasting. In my opinion the amount to be eaten varies according to different persons and their activities. Foe example, for those students who are busy seeking knowledge of 'Deen', too little food at 'Sehri' as well as 'Iftaar' will be harmful; for them it is better not to have too little, because they seek 'Deeni' knowledge, which is very important (for the preservation and spread of Islam). similar is the case of those who are busy with 'Dhikr' and other 'Deeni'

Volume 3, Book 31, Number 124: Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, Whoever established prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven; and whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven. Volume 3, Book 31, Number 126: Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet was the most generous amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan when Gabriel visited him, and Gabriel used to meet him on every night of Ramadan till the end of the month.

But shortly after Selahs medical bills hit $20,000, Blue Cross stopped covering them and eventually canceled her coverage retroactively. So begins a recent report in The Los Angeles Times titled Sick but Insured? Think Again, which offers a series of similar horror stories, and suggests that these stories represent a growing trend: more and more health insurers are finding ways to yank your insurance when you get sick. This trend helps explain something that has been puzzling me: why is the health insurance industry growing rapidly, even as it covers fewer Americans?

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Fwd: Bush Rages: I am not Beelzebub, Lord of Sulfur explained by Mike Whitney
Bush Rages: I am not Beelzebub, Lord of SulfurBy Mike WhitneyThe devil is right at home The devil himself is right in the house. And the devilcame here yesterday. Yesterday the devil came right here...And it still smells of sulfur today.http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article15041.htm Hugo Chavez;address to the UN General Assembly 9-20-06 My oh my, has Hugo Chavez caused a furor. Looking at the news reports filed in the last24 hours, one would think that he snuck a dirty-bomb into the United Nations rather thangave a speech. In fact, the plucky Chavez may have delivered the finest 30 minute presentation that august assembly has ever heard. In that short span of time he publiclythrottled the Global Emperor in front of 6 billion people and left his bruised andbloodied carcass splattered across the canvas like Roberto Duran in Round 9 of the middleweight championship match.No mas, no mas no mas...And what about the performance? Is Chavez part of a theatre troupe or is he just earninghis chops as a method actor?Whatever it is; it seems to be working. After skewering Bush as the devil and sniffing around for sulfur (the traditional sign of Lucifer) Chavez performed his ablutions witha sign of the cross and an angelic _expression_ worthy of Botticelli.If you're a lefty, it just doesn't get any better than this. Chavez should give lessons in public speaking. His appearance was like a clap ofthunder; waving Chomsky with one hand and pummeling Bush with the other. He managed toheap more muck on Guantanamo Nation than anyone since http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article11239.htm Harold Pinter gave hisblistering Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speechon 12-7-05. That's when Pinter said: The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless,but very few people have ever talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It hasexercised quite a clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It is a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis.Chavez matched Pinter word for word, exposing the hypocrisy, lies and brutality of anadministration that never stops lecturing about freedom and liberation even though it grinds out mountains of carnage everywhere it goes.And where was Bush when Chavez delivered his broadside hiding behind Karen Hughesskirts, picking out a new eye-liner for his next televised harangue against Muslims, retrieving his Yale pom-poms from the dry-cleaners?Our benighted leader always seems to disappear whenever the prospect of danger arises.He skedaddled when his number came up for the Alabama National Guard and he lit-out for the safety of a Nebraska cornfield when the planes hit the towers. He even vamoosed at atrade summit in Argentina when Chavez threatened to sneak up behind him and give him abear-hug. That really put a spring in old Bush's step as he quickly scuttled to the safety of Airforce One.One thing is certain, whenever there's peril, President gone-to-soon will be speedingoff in a trail of vapor.In any case, Bush was not missed at the UN massacre yesterday. Chavez held-forth like a preacher at a brothel; scattering the bodies and kicking open the windows to let thesunlight in. He delivered one, ferocious roundhouse punch after anotherBoom, boom, boom...until the crowd rose in a thunderous 5 minute ovation. (which was carefully omitted from the TV coverage)What would the people of the world tell (Bush) if they were given the floor? Chavezasked. What would they have to say? I have some inkling of what they would say, what the oppressed people think. They would say, 'Yankee imperialist, go home.He spoke to the people of Lebanon, Chavez added. Many of you have seen, he said, howyour homes and communities were caught in the crossfire. How cynical can you get? What a capacity to lie shamefacedly. The bombs in Beirut were delivered with laserprecisionThis is imperialist (and) genocidal; the empire and Israel firing on thepeople of Palestine and Lebanon. That is what happened. And now we hear, 'We're suffering because we see homes destroyed.'Ouch; no wonder Bush high-tailed it out of the UN before the ensuing bloodbath.Chavez is like a battering ram punching holes in the wall of silence which surrounds King George. Right after his speech I checked in at CNN and, as I expected,Bush-apologist Wolf Blitzer was spinning in his wingtips frantically trying to stitchtogether the tattered image of the Dear Leader. A quick peek at Google News confirms that the entire arsenal of corporate media is now engaged in the hopeless task ofsalvaging Bush's wretched presidency.But the damage is done. Chavez played the match on Bush's home turf and beat him like a drum. Bush is probably still quivering under his desk.There are other ways of thinking, Chavez opined. There are young people who thinkdifferently and this has happened in a mere decade. It has been shown that 'the end of history'

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Sen. Russ Feingold Fires at Bush
Sen. Russ Feingold Fires at Bush for Use of Phrase 'Islamic Fascists'Tuesday , September 12, 2006WASHINGTON — Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold called on President Bush to refrain from using the phrase Islamic fascists, saying it was offensive to Muslims and has nothing to do with global terrorists fighting the United States. We must avoid using misleading and offensive terms that link Islam with those who subvert this great religion or who distort its teachings to justify terrorist activities, Feingold said Tuesday in a speech to the Arab American Institute on Capitol Hill. The Wisconsin senator, a potential 2008 presidential candidate, said the label Islamic fascists makes no sense and doesn't help the U.S. effort to combat terrorism.Fascist ideology doesn't have anything to do with the way global terrorist networks think or operate, and it doesn't have anything to do with the overwhelming majority of Muslims around the world who practice the peaceful teachings of Islam, Feingold said. In seeking to explain the term, the White House referred to comments made last week by homeland security adviser Fran Townsend.At a news conference, Townsend said, What the President was trying to capture was this idea of using violence to achieve ideological ends — and that's wrong. Regardless of what label you pin on it, it is this form of radical extremism that really wants to deny people freedom and impose a totalitarian vision of society on everyone, that we object to. http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,213486,00.html --The senator hadbestbecareful,lesthefindhimselfonaplane headed for Syria - and extensive interrogation.-- G.
