Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The times when it is permissible to recite Qur'aan

Download available at: http://islammuslims.com/ArabicVerbs/index.htm Excerpts from Islam Questions and Answers: http://islammuslims.com/islam-qa/Volume_3_index.htm 10984: The times when it is permissible to recite Qur'aan Question: Can Suratul-Fatihah be recited at any time? I heard that it can only be recited at certain times only, like salaat or as prescribed by the Prophet (May Allaah's peace and blessings be upon him) for specific needs. If it is the latter, could you list the proper times to recite it? Answer: Praise be to Allaah. It is permissible for you to recite Qur'aan, or any soorah from it, at any time and in any situation, except when you are in a state of janaabah (impurity following sexual activity), in which case it is haraam to recite Qur'aan, because of the hadeeth of `Ali who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to recite Qur'aan to us in all situations so long as he was not in a state of janaabah. (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, al-Tahaarah, 136. al-Tirmidhi said: this hadeeth of `Ali is hasan saheeh). This was also the view of the scholars among the companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the Taabi'een. They said a man may recite Qur'aan without wudoo' but he should not read from the Mus-haf unless he is taahir (pure, i.e., has wudoo'). This was the view of Sufyaan al-Thawri, al-Shaafa'i, Ahmad and Ishaaq. See Da'eef Sunan al-Tirmidhi by al-Albaani, hadeeth no. 22 Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: The imams are agreed that it is haraam to recite Qur'aan when in a state of janaabah. It is not proper etiquette to recite Qur'aan when one is in a state of janaabah because it is the words of Allaah which must be respected and venerated, and kept away from all unclean places and places where haraam things take place, which could dishonour it and show disrespect towards its sanctity. Moreover the person who is in a state of janaabah can remove the impurity whenever he wants, so he is not allowed to recite Qur'aan. But if you are impure in the sense of minor impurity then it is permissible for you to recite only, without touching the Mus-haf. See question no. 10672. With regard to women when they are menstruating or bleeding following childbirth, see question no. 2564. And Allaah knows best. See Tawdeeh Ahkaam al-Nisa', 1/309.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The DEVIL 'Taken Aback' by Musharraf Comment
If Youre a POODLE then Youre a Good Guy We Welcome You to Our CLUB. But If You Try to be a TERRIER then You Will BE Branded as a TERRORIST Hounded With All the Means at Our Disposal Until You Become a Poodle OR Destroyed - AB Bush 'Taken Aback' by Musharraf CommentBy DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060922/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bushWASHINGTON - President Bush said Friday he was "taken aback" by a purported U.S. threat to bomb Pakistan back to the Stone Age if it did not cooperate in the fight against terrorism after the Sept. 11 attacks. He praised Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf for being one of the first foreign leaders to come out after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to stand with the U.S. to "help root out an enemy."At a joint White House news conference, Musharraf said a peace treaty between his government and tribes along the Pakistan- Afghanistan border is not meant to support the Taliban. He said news reports had mischaracterized the deals. "The deal is not at all with the Taliban. This deal is against the Taliban. This deal is with the tribal elders," Musharraf said.Said Bush: "I believe him." He said that Musharraf had looked him in the eye and vowed that "the tribal deal is intended to reject the Talibanization of the people and that there won't be a Taliban and there won't be al-Aqaida (in Pakistan)."In an interview to air Sunday on CBS-TV's "60 Minutes" program, Musharraf said that after the attacks, Richard Armitage, then deputy secretary of state, told Pakistan's intelligence director that the United States would bomb his country if it didn't help fight terrorists. He said that Armitage had told him, "Be prepared to go back to the Stone Age."Armitage has disputed the language attributed to him but did not deny the message was a strong one. The former senior U.S. official told Associated Press Radio on Friday: "There was no military threat and I was not authorized to do so." "It did not happen," Armitage said. He said he had a State Department cable of his conversation with the intelligence chief read to him Friday "and there was, in no way, that threat." "It was a strong, straightforward conversation," Armitage said. He said he intended to communicate to the Pakistani official the feelings of Americans about being attacked. Armitage said he called on Musharraf on Thursday and had trust in him.Asked about the report, Bush said, "The first I heard of this is when I read it in the newspaper. I guess I was taken aback by the harshness of the words." For his part, Musharraf declined to comment and cited a contract agreement with a publisher on an upcoming book. However, he told CBS the Stone Age warning "was a very rude remark."Bush has repeatedly praised Pakistan for arresting hundreds of al-Qaida operatives inside its borders. Pakistan is the world's second-biggest Islamic country, with a population of 160 million. But the United States has also urged Pakistan to do more to stop militants from crossing from its tribal regions into Afghanistan, where Taliban-fanned violence has reached its deadliest proportions since the American-led invasion that toppled the hard-line regime. Pakistan earlier this month signed a truce with tribal figures. Afghanistan has protested that the militants are linked to the Taliban, the militant Islamic group that once ruled Afghanistan until driven from power in 2001. But both Bush and Musharraf shrugged off such links and said they were united in pursuing terrorists, especially Osama bin Laden. "When we find Osama bin Laden, he will be brought to justice. We are on the hunt together," Bush said. Musharraf echoed him. "We are in the hunt together against these people," the Pakistani leader said. Bush will have talks Tuesday with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Then, he'll have a three-way sit down with both leaders at the White House on Wednesday. Bush must work to placate the concerns of Pakistan, a chief ally in the war on terror, as well as the struggling democratic government in Afghanistan, which is suffering its heaviest insurgent attacks since U.S.-led troops toppled the Taliban in late 2001. Meanwhile, Musharraf reported progress toward resolving the dispute between India and Pakistan over the shared Himalayan region of Kashmir. The Pakistani leader cited progress in recent talks with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. "We are moving on the Kashmir dispute," Musharraf said. Bush seemed pleased. "I'm impressed by this president's will to get something done in Kashmir," he said. Pressed on how the U.S. might help, Bush said: "The Kashmir issue will be solved when two leaders decide to solve it, and we want to help. The United States can't force nations to reach an agreement just because we want there to be an agreement." Earlier Friday, White House counselor Dan Bartlett said he didn't know the specifics of what Armitage might have said to the
Boycott Israel [IslamCity] New moon for Ramadan: 23rd or 24th?
Astronomical Odds for a United Ramadan by Tamer El-Maghraby Extracts below, full article found here: http://www.islamonline.net/English/Science/FaithSciences/scienceMedicine/2006/09/01.shtml Following astronomical calculations, FCNA (Fiqh Council of North America) announced that the first day of fasting will be on September 23, while ECFR (European Council for Fatwa and Research) announced that, astronomically speaking, Ramadan will start on September 24. So where is the mistake? As it turns out, there is none. The decision made by FCNA (later adopted by ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America) was announced with the goal of unifying Muslims in the Western Hemisphere. Since astronomical calculations are precise enough to determine the time of birth of the new moon, FCNA decided that 12 noon Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) would become FCNA's reference point. If the new moon is born any time before that reference point, then that would give it enough time (12 to 18 hours) to mature before night falls on the Americas and hence Ramadan could start the following day. What FCNA is relying on is the possibility of a lunar sighting anywhere in the Western Hemisphere, without the actual need to do the sighting. On September 22, 2006, the new moon will actually be born at 11:45 GMT, hence satisfying FCNA's criteria for Ramadan to start on the 23rd. The ECFR (European Council for Fatwa and Research) has set its criteria somewhat differently. In addition to the birth of the new moon, ECFR has also put into consideration the setting times of both the moon and the sun over Makkah as its specific reference point. For the new crescent to be observed in the sky, the moon must still be above the horizon after sunset that is, the moon must still be in the sky as night falls. On the 22nd, the sun will set over Makkah at 6:18 p.m. local time, with the moon having set three minutes earlier. According to the logic of ECFR, with no chance of anyone finding the moon in the night sky of the 22nd, the moon sighting cannot be confirmed that evening and so Ramadan cannot start the following day. Muslims in Europe (and obviously Makkah) will have to wait until the 24th to begin their fast. As it turns out, this astronomical scenario also applies across Europe anyway this year, with the moon setting almost one or two minutes before the setting of the sun. All About Reference Points If the setting times of the sun and the moon are important in determining the possibility of a sighting to begin Ramadan, have FCNA and ISNA ignored that factor when deciding on their date? Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, member of the Board of Directors at both FCNA and ISNA, says that they have not. Moonset will take place about three minutes after sunset in Washington DC, while in California moonset will follow sunset by eight minutes. Practically, that does not allow for an actual lunar sighting to take place. But since the criteria were set for the Western Hemisphere as a whole, Dr. Siddiqi insists that someone on the Pacific Islands of Samoa will have about 40 minutes after sunset to sight the moon. That should be enough time to credit the possibility of a lunar sighting on the night of the 22nd. The Global Village Just as Aswan could follow Cairo for its sightings decades ago, ECFR has decided that Makkah could be the reference point for Europe. FCNA, on the other hand, has decided that, since the Samoan Islands to the far end of the Western Hemisphere could possibly observe the moon on the night of the 22nd, the islands can be considered as a reference point for the inhabitants of the Americas. Since moving eastward decreases the likelihood of observing a new crescent, the fact that Europe and Makkah will not be able to make a sighting on the 22nd also makes it impossible for people in Africa, Asia, or Australia to make a sighting either, forcing them to start along with Makkah and Europe on the 24th. Jurisprudence permitting, having just two reference points does seem like a considerable improvement on what has been happening in the past. So the question still remains: Can the entire globe be unified into beginning Ramadan on the same day? If actual visual sighting remains a prerequisite for starting Ramadan rather than the possibility of sighting, unity does not seem to be always possible. Let's take this year as a case in point. This Year On Friday, September 22, 2006, some Samoan Islanders are looking into the night sky for the new moon at 6:44 p.m. local time, about 20 minutes after sunset (the amount of time typically accepted as sufficient for sighting a crescent). As they are doing that, Muslims in California are probably going to bed at 10:44 p.m. while Muslims in Washington DC have probably been asleep for some time since it is now 1:44 a.m. Saturday, September 23. Right this same minute, some Muslims in England have already finished their Fajr Prayer, since now it is 6:44 a.m. Saturday. The streets of Cairo and Makkah are beginning

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Re: Why Pope Attack Islam Bible says so......./ comments.....
-[1:1] In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you. On September 12 in Regensburg, Germany, Pope Benedict XVI, in a lecture to 1,500 university professors and students, cited an obscure medieval emperor engaged in a dialogue with a Persian Muslim, as saying with regard to the Islamic faith, Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached. We all know what happened next. Protests throughout the Islamic world, and in Europe, and in America (the New York Times pontificated that the Pope should immediately apologize for his remarks). Sheik Malin of Somalia called for the Pope's murder. Churches were set on fire in the Holy Land. An Italian nun was shot to death in Somalia (though it was not clear that the shooting was related to the Pope's words). God's commandments in the Quran are crystal clear! Let the Muslim world take guidance from the Quran to deal with the Pope! [7:3] You shall all follow what is revealed to you from your Lord; do not follow any idols besides Him. Rarely do you take heed. For example, what are we supposed to do if someone mocks the Quran? Can we critize someone for mocking the Quran? Absolutely not! [4:140] He has instructed you in the scripture that: if you hear GOD's revelations being mocked and ridiculed, you shall not sit with them, unless they delve into another subject. Otherwise, you will be as guilty as they are. GOD will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers together in Hell. And, what are we supposed to do if someone mocks our religion? Can we criticize someone for mocking the religion? Absolutely not! [5:57] O you who believe, do not befriend those among the recipients of previous scripture who mock and ridicule your religion, nor shall you befriend the disbelievers. You shall reverence GOD, if you are really believers. And, what are we supposed to do if someone like the Pope criticize the messenger, even it hurts the feelings of all the Muslims who love him so much!? [18:106] Their just requital is Hell, in return for their disbelief, and for mocking My revelations and My messengers. God Almighty does not give us including the Prophet the responsibility of guardianship over someone's religious matters! There is no compulsion in the religion of Islam. [4:80] Whoever obeys the messenger is obeying GOD. As for those who turn away, we did not send you as their guardian. [6:66] Your people have rejected this, even though it is the truth. Say, I am not a guardian over you. [6:104] Enlightenments have come to you from your Lord. As for those who can see, they do so for their own good, and those who turn blind, do so to their own detriment. I am not your guardian. [6:107] Had GOD willed, they would not have worshiped idols. We did not appoint you as their guardian, nor are you their advocate. [10:108] Proclaim: O people, the truth has come to you herein from your Lord. Whoever is guided is guided for his own good. And whoever goes astray, goes astray to his own detriment. I am not a guardian over you. [11:86] Whatever GOD provides for you, no matter how small, is far better for you, if you are really believers. I am not a guardian over you. [42:48] If they turn away, we did not send you as their guardian. Your sole mission is delivering the message. When we shower the human beings with mercy, they become proud, and when adversity afflicts them, as a consequence of their own deeds, the human beings turn into disbelievers. The Muslim world should seek guidance from the Quran. They should counter evil work with good work. [13:22] They steadfastly persevere in seeking their Lord, observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), spend from our provisions to them secretly and publicly, and counter evil with good. These have deserved the best abode. [28:54] To these we grant twice the reward, because they steadfastly persevere. They counter evil works with good works, and from our provisions to them, they give. Freedom of expression is the gift of God. Freedom of religion is allowed by God. No one can take it from anybody, not even from the Pope! It is God's system! [33:72] We have offered the responsibility (freedom of choice) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were afraid of it. But the human being accepted it; he was transgressing, ignorant [2:256] There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. Anyone who denounces the devil and believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond; one that never breaks. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient. [42:43] Resorting to patience and forgiveness reflects a true strength of character. The Prophet preached with the Quran. If we truly love the Prophet, we must take guidance from the Quran. We must not earn bad names for the

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Gamal Mubarak of Egypt Speaks of Egypt's Right To Nuclear Energy
Gamal Mubarak Speaks of Egypts Right To Nuclear Energy Saeed Abbady, Ikhwanweb - Cairo, Egypt Thursday, September 21, 2006 At the National Partys fourth annual Congress which started Tuesday September 19,2006, Gamal Mubarak dropped a bombshell when he spoke of Egypts right to have a nuclear energy program, regarding it as one of the most crucial issues which encounters Egypt and its coming generations It is time that Egypt weighs the nuclear energy as one of the alternatives on its agenda. Gamal Mubarakadded that the nuclear energy is one of two papers to bediscussed in the conference; with the other related to the national security and the future of the Middle East, focusing on the transformations which the Middle East is likely to undergo and their effect on the ME region in general and the Egyptian security in particular. Gamal Mubarakvoiced his rejection of what is called "the Greater Middle East"and added thatEgypt does not accept outside initiatives that could change the face of the region MB Reactions In a statement to Ikhwanweb, MBsenior member,Dr. Gamal Heshmat, said that what ishappening within the NDPs annual congressreflectsthe state of chaos within the party ranks. He added that Gamal invented the nuclear energy story to gain credibility by the public. Dr. Heshmat described Gamal statements as "propaganda" and do not reflect the regime's actual policies "the ruling National Party itselfhas stalled Egypts nuclear project as well as the military industrialization projects, Dr. Heshmat added On the Muslim Brotherhoods position toward the use of nuclear energy, Heshmat said that the group sees it a rightfor any country to possess and use whatever means of energy and power that work in favor of its interest, pointing out that the nuclear energy isnt a monopoly to the major states and Israel, But the NDP is not strong enough to withstand the backlash which could result from such a decision, Heshmat lamented.

ThePope also remarked that this ignorant emperor also knew the truth of both the religions.The christian apologists, given to lies and deception will never quote this part of the Pope's speech. The Pope, the highest authority in the catholic world,is now, unabashedly lying to the world. Theintent of his heartdistictintly clear.Thanks to Pope John Paul II, Bush did not have the support of the catholics. Now this Pope, it seems, has a Pope of his own. Bush.

Zwei, drei Zeilen hätten viel bewirkt." ("I would have wished for a few words of clarification. Two or three lines would have accomplished a great deal.") -- Prof. Theodore Khoury, editor and translator of the book containing the dialogue of the Emperor Manuel II Paleologus with the Persian Muslim which Pope Benedict cited in his Regensburg speech September 12 Back in 1999, on May 14 in the Vatican, Pope John Paul II bowed as "a sign of respect" toward a copy of the Koran which was presented to him as a gift. When the book was officially "presented to him," the Pope (perhaps a bit perplexed concerning the appropriate protocol for such an official gesture) kissed it. On September 12 in Regensburg, Germany, Pope Benedict XVI, in a lecture to 1,500 university professors and students, cited an obscure medieval emperor engaged in a dialogue with a Persian Muslim, as saying with regard to the Islamic faith, "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." We all know what happened next. Protests throughout the Islamic world, and in Europe, and in America (the New York Times "pontificated" that the Pope should immediately apologize for his remarks). Sheik Malin of Somalia called for the Pope's murder. Churches were set on fire in the Holy Land. An Italian nun was shot to death in Somalia (though it was not clear that the shooting was related to the Pope's words). In Iran, Islamic newspapers suggested there was an Israeli-US plot behind the Pope's words. The daily Jomhuri Islami said: "If we do not consider Pope Benedict XVI to be ignorant of Islam, then his remarks against Islam are a dictat that the Zionists and the Americans have written (for him)." Fellow hardline daily Kayhan, whose editor-in-chief is appointed by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said there were signs of Israeli interference aimed at creating conflict between Islam and Christianity. In Israel, Jewish rabbi Shlomo Amar (the Chief Sephardi rabbi) weighed in, expressing sorrow over "the deprecating things said against Islam" by the Pope. "Our way is to respect all religions, nations and peoples according to their customs," Amar said. And (last but not least) in the Vatican itself, a monsignor (anonymous) was cited as saying, "Under John Paul II, this would not have happened."So the Pope was attacked by secular humanists (the New York Times), by conservative Muslims, by a leading Jewish rabbi -- and by monsignors in the Vatican itself. Talk about being isolated.Benedict had (in a sense) "sown the wind, and reaped the whirlwind."How can all this be explained? Did Benedict, a gentle German theology professor who has spent his pontificate being thoughtful and kind, preaching to children and writing an encyclical about love, intend to "insult" Islam, or Mohammed, as claimed? Sometimes words have unintended consequences. Taken out of context, interpreted in a way the speaker did not intend, they can cause confusion, shock, anger, violence.And that was the case for Pope Benedict XVI. His address is not a "bashing" or "blasting" or "indictment" of Islam but rather a profound reflection on the need for the West to return to religious faith. Benedict's main point -- and few have noted this -- is that the West, unless it recovers a vision of God, cannot engage in a fruitful dialogue with the other great cultures of the world, which have a basic religious conviction about reality. Among these great cultures, of course, is Islam. His entire talk is focused on this point.He attempts to persuade his academic

Re: Boycott Israel [IslamCity] HOW MUSLIMS CAN RESPOND TO THE POPE'S FAKE ''APOLOGY''
ASSALAMUALIKUM The best way to response to the pope is to look into yr heart and see if you are a true lover of the sunnah of rasool e kareem sallalaho alahay wassalaam! pope never claimed to be the follower of the prophet sallahao alahay wassalam whereas we always sing priases about the holiness of our prophet sallalaho allahay wassalam. when we ourselves dont follow his sunnahs and his path and disrespect him in every which way possible who can we expect others to show any respect towards him and islam? protesting is easy. our love for islam and holy prophet sallalaho allahay wassalam only awakes momentarily and after making a few fiery speeches and abusing that person we conveniently forget about the incident. do we ever think that by disobeying prophet sallalaho allahay wassalam we insult him and show our disrespect to him 20 times a day. and we call ourselves his (sallalaho allahay wassalam) followers. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bismillah Hir-Rahman Nir-Rahim As-Salaamu' Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu Dear Brethren, DO NOT descrate the symbols of other religions.

The Pope has - through someone else - mentioned that he regrets that certain parts of his rant could have sounded offensive to the sensitivities of the Muslim faithful. Tha's a lot like regretting that certain parts of kicking in somebody's face could have sounded offensive to that person's sensitivities. The Pope simply thinks he has Muslims on a rope. The reason for his smugness is that he knows that while he insults Rasulullah (S.A.W.), we Muslims cannot return the insult by defaming Jesus (A.S.) in return; for Jesus (A.S.) is a Holy Prophet and Messenger of Allah (S.W.T.) and his person is inviolable to Muslims. Indeed, christians have often expressed frustration that it is Muslims who show up to protest films that insult Jesus (A.S.) while the christians stay home. But the Pope is wrong in thinking that effective retaliation is not possible. There IS an effective way to respond, one that not only does not insult Jesus (A.S.), but vindicates him as a human prophet of Allah (S.W.T.) while directly contravening the Son of God baloney and making a laughingstock of the Pope and his cannibal cult in the bargain. Here's how. Islamic Community Net has often noted before that Christianity is a cannibal cult - and that the Roman Catholic church headed by the Pope is the epicenter of that cannibal cult that also includes Orthodox Christians and Anglicans as well as some Protestants. The Pope and his christian sect believe that during the daily or weekly christian ceremony called the Mass that wafers of flat, white unleavened bread circles are magically converted into the actual living flesh of Jesus (A.S.) (ychhh!). (Yes, read that again, there is no typing error). The magically transformed wafer of unleavened bread is called the Eucharist. For a photograph of Eucharists, see: http://www.catholicpeople.com/catholic/Eucharist.jpg In addition, wine is magically converted into the actual living blood of Jesus (A.S.) (double ychhh!). Please bear closely in mind that the Catholics don't think that this is mere symbolism at all - they truly believe that they are drinking the actual living blood of Jesus (A.S.) and eating his actual living flesh! From the Roman Catholic Cathechism (the first article below): Under the consecrated species of bread and wine Christ himself, living and glorious, is present in a true, real, and substantial manner: his Body and his Blood, with his soul and his divinity That's rather pathetic, violent, ignorant unnatural and SICK doctrine, and as has often been explained by Islamic Community Net, this unnatural and irreligious doctrine is the source of much christian violence against the rest of the world, especially Muslims. Anyone who is first made to voluntarily descend into the humanly debased pit of cannibalism can be made to
Boycott Israel [IslamCity] SAUM : Its Impact on Economy and Social Development
SAUM:Its Impact on Economy and Social Development By Bashir Abid Saum or Fasting during the month of Ramadhan is prescribed for Muslims to reinforce their moral and spiritual strength so that they may be able to discharge their responsibilities towards the society efficiently. Its a month-long rigorous excercise of abstinence and self-control. During this month Muslims voluntarily refrain from eating food, drinking liquors, indulging in sex and other immoral activities while fasting from dawn to dusk. When we study the relevant verses (2:183-188) in the Quran carefully we find a number of disciplines which if carried on in true spirit are very usefull not only in building moral character and spiritual strength but also boosting up the national economy and social development. For example, fasting is prescribed for a fixed number of days which have to be completed. In case, anyone is ill or on a journey, the prescribed number should be made up from days later. Similarly, it is prescribed that fast must be completed from dawn to dusk at fixed time everyday. These prescriptions if followed in true sense are very helpfull in developing the habbit of punctuality and regularity. The importance of puntuality and regularity is well known. These habbits play a key role in our day to day life. All transactions, deals, appointments that are conducted timely and methodically promote confidence, increase efficiency, and make us trustworthy in others' eyes. The instincts for food, drink, and sex are strong in the animal nature, and the temporary restraint from all these enable the attention to be directed to higher things. This is necessary through prayer, contemplation and act of charity. The Quran says that those who feel hardship and do not fast, for them is a ransom - the feeding of one that is indigent. But he that will give more, of his own free will, it is better for him. This shows that the Muslims fast is not meant for self-torture. Although it is stricter than other fasts, it also provides alleviation for special circumstances. Saving one meal a day means saving tons of food during the month that can alleviate the suffering of thousands of indigents for a whole year. Pakistan is a country of 170 million people whose 70 % live below the poverty line and many of them can't afford to have meal two times a day. We can feed one hundred thousands of them if only 70 millions of Pakistan's population go on fasting in its true spirit. The relation between sex and economy is well understood. According to some studies the nations who do not keep the sexual activity within limits their culture and economy could hardly survive for three generations. The Quran has well defined limits for sexual activity. Abstinence during the fast is a good reminder for self-control and to remain within divine limits. Another important discipline which is prescribed during Ramadhan is Aitekaf. According to this practice some Muslims devote themselves and retreat to the mosques for a couple of days in order to contemplate on the Quran. They get guidance to resolve intricate problems facing the Muslims in particular and mankind at large. Keeping the fast in its true spirit as discussed above would certainly improve our behavior and give us great moral and spiritual strength which ultimately help us in the creation of a lively culture and vigorously growing economy. In fact, God does not put restrictions in vanity. These are meant to enhance our ability and to give us necessary strength to live a beautifull life here and in the hereafter. Nowadays fast has become a ritual. Muslims, all over the world are fasting just to please God. They do not bother about how does the fast affect their behavior and what impact it has on their culture and economy? All that what God wanted to be accomplished through fasting Muslims have defeated that by going diametrically opposite to it. They should be punctual and regular in discharging their duty and resposibility; they should be frugal in spending their wealth: they should be kind and generous towards the needy; they should be contemplative in solving intricate problems and they should be very fair and just in all spheres of life. But, unfortunately, they are far away from these virtues. Ramadhan makes no difference to them in the practical life. Rather, they become more spend-thrift and wastefull and they become more negligent, careless and regardless during Ramadhan. I wish, as Muslim, we should welcome Ramadhan in its true spirit and we should learn the right way to please God. THE END __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Robert Fisk - No Wonder the UN Can't Find Volunteers for Peacekeeping
Robert Fisk: No Wonder the UN Can't Find VolunteersI have to say that there is a certain irony in watching Israel's diplomats paying such close attention to the wording of UN resolutions.By Robert Fisk http://www.palestinechronicle.com/story-082206113830.htmIsrael is keen to see the implementation of UN Security Council Resolutions 1559 and 1701, which demand the disarmament of Hizbollah - an organisation which Israel so dismally failed to disarm over the past six weeks after wrecking Lebanon and slaughtering more than a thousand Lebanese civilians. And I have to say that there is a certain irony in watching Israel's diplomats paying such close attention to the wording of these resolutions and the need to abide by them after they have spent years trashing the very same UN force in Lebanon that is supposed to protect them in future. Unifil, the so-called United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon, has been sitting in the south of the country for 28 years and has been the butt of Israel's jokes and slander and calumny for all of that time. I recall how the Israelis claimed that the Irish battalion - since withdrawn - were drunk or anti-semitic, how UN officers lied, how a Fijian commander was spreading syphilis among the women of Qana, the town whose inhabitants have just been massacred by Israel's forces for the second time in a decade. But now, the new, reinforced Unifil is supposed to provide the buffer behind which Israel - whose army so dismally failed to protect its people in this latest war - can feel safe. One cannot but wish the Israelis always paid such attention to UN resolutions. If only they would be so keen to adhere to UN Security Council Resolution 242, for example, as they are anxious to ensure Hizbollah and the Lebanese army abide by 1559 And 1701. Few readers will need to be reminded that 242 calls for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from territory occupied in the 1967 war in return for the security of all states (including Israel) in the area. Now of course, Hizbollah is also playing fast and loose with the UN. It illegally crossed the UN Blue Line in southern Lebanon on 12 July to kill three Israeli soldiers and capture two others. They have already made it clear that they do not intend to be disarmed and their members - "schoolteachers, builders, university undergraduates" (I particularly admired the latter conceit) - would remain south of the Litani river, arms out of sight but not out of mind. And if 1701 is meant for Hizbollah's rubbish bin, then what is 242 worth for the Palestinians? But there is something far more dangerous on the loose in southern Lebanon, something intimately linked with the hell-disaster into which we have turned Iraq. The famous 3,000 French troops that were supposed to arrive in Lebanon to support the Lebanese army have suddenly been reduced to 400 French engineers. And the Spanish and the Italians, it transpires, would like to know a little bit more about the mysterious UN mandate under which their troops would be operating before sacrificing their young men's lives in Lebanon. The Spanish have not forgotten the price they paid for supporting the "coalition of the willing" - so soon to become the "coalition of the unwilling" - in Iraq. They don't want more bombs on the Madrid railway system. And the Italians are a little tired of state funerals for their fallen in Iraq. True, the French have not forgotten their 58 murdered soldiers at the Drakkar building in Beirut on 23 October 1983, when suicide bombers associated with the Hizbollah struck them as part of the "Multinational Force" in Lebanon, another American creation. But France has watched the collapse of the American project in Iraq and is suspicious that its soldiers - despite the prospect of renewing in ghostly form the mandat français of the 1920s and 1930s in Lebanon - could end up in the same predicament as those armies which decided to follow George W Bush's into Iraq's bloody swamp. Who is actually going to disarm Hizbollah? Will they in fact be disarmed? And what will we do if they are not? I could not help smiling when I heard Israel's Dan Gillerman announcing on the BBC yesterday that if the UN failed to disarm Hizbollah, Israel would have to do the job - despite the fact that it has patently proved itself militarily incapable of any such task. And the latest extraordinary demand by Israel is that Muslim nations who do not recognise the State of Israel will not be allowed to join the expanded Unifil force in southern Lebanon. What in the name of God is going on? Well, I will hazard a terrible guess. The Iraq fiasco - and the growing débâcle in Afghanistan has drained the will of Nato nations to commit troops to peacekeeping operations, certainly for missions which may involve confrontations and violence with Muslims. And those Muslim nations which might be persuaded to join such a mission - Turkey excluded, of course - are going to be rigorously excluded.
Re: Boycott Israel [IslamCity] HOW MUSLIMS CAN RESPOND TO THE POPE'S FAKE ''APOL
Wa aleikum as-salaam wa rahamatuallah wa barakatuhu. While it would be wrong to initiate such an action absent a legitimate cause, it is perfectly acceptable to retaliate to the Pope's insolent attack on our Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) in the nonviolent and perfectly legal manner suggested, although as a practical matter, such actions during the mostly daytime Masses will probably be limited due to the daytime fasting of Ramadan, which insha'Allah begins Saturday night or Sunday night depending on local sightings. The Pope is an agent provocateur of the West who has chosen to ignite hatred and war at this particular time. Out of many christian quotes that he could have selected to engage in a dialogue with Muslims about jihad, he deliberately selected one that he knew must give outrageous direct offense by insulting Rasulullah (S.A.W.). The Pope is a coward who hides his personal responsibility behind quotation marks and then whines that people don't understand him correctly. Someday, Allah (S.W.T.) will return Isa (A.S.) to break the cross worldwide. When he does, insha'Allah you won't be slandering him as an agent provocateur. Wasalaam. --- In islamcity@yahoogroups.com, Aeisha Muhammad wrote: Bismillah Hir-Rahman Nir-Rahim As-Salaamu' Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu Dear Brethren, DO NOT descrate the symbols of other religions. It is ok to protest and denounce the Pope but do NOT descrate the symbols of the catholic faith. The people who sent out this suggestion are AGENT PROVOCATEURS who want to ignite hatred and war.

The Pope has - through someone else - mentioned that he regrets that certain parts of his rant could have sounded offensive to the sensitivities of the Muslim faithful. Tha's a lot like regretting that certain parts of kicking in somebody's face could have sounded offensive to that person's sensitivities. The Pope simply thinks he has Muslims on a rope. The reason for his smugness is that he knows that while he insults Rasulullah (S.A.W.), we Muslims cannot return the insult by defaming Jesus (A.S.) in return; for Jesus (A.S.) is a Holy Prophet and Messenger of Allah (S.W.T.) and his person is inviolable to Muslims. Indeed, christians have often expressed frustration that it is Muslims who show up to protest films that insult Jesus (A.S.) while the christians stay home. But the Pope is wrong in thinking that effective retaliation is not possible. There IS an effective way to respond, one that not only does not insult Jesus (A.S.), but vindicates him as a human prophet of Allah (S.W.T.) while directly contravening the Son of God baloney and making a laughingstock of the Pope and his cannibal cult in the bargain. Here's how. Islamic Community Net has often noted before that Christianity is a cannibal cult - and that the Roman Catholic church headed by the Pope is the epicenter of that cannibal cult that also includes Orthodox Christians and Anglicans as well as some Protestants. The Pope and his christian sect believe that during the daily or weekly christian ceremony called the Mass that wafers of flat, white unleavened bread circles are magically converted into the actual living flesh of Jesus (A.S.) (ychhh!). (Yes, read that again, there is no typing error). The magically transformed wafer of unleavened bread is called the Eucharist. For a photograph of Eucharists, see: http://www.catholicpeople.com/catholic/Eucharist.jpg In addition, wine is magically converted into the actual living blood of Jesus (A.S.) (double ychhh!). Please bear closely in mind that the Catholics don't think that this is mere symbolism at all - they truly believe that they are drinking the actual living blood of Jesus (A.S.) and eating his actual living flesh! From the Roman Catholic Cathechism (the first article below): Under the consecrated species of bread and wine Christ himself, living and glorious, is present in a true, real, and substantial manner: his Body and his Blood, with his soul and his divinity That's rather pathetic, violent, ignorant unnatural and SICK doctrine, and as has often been explained by Islamic Community Net, this unnatural and irreligious doctrine is
