With whom did Musharraf spend a relaxed day in London? Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 11:31 AM EST - 503 Reads Section: Army vs PakistanThe story is out. Musharraf spent a relaxed day in London with Brigadier Niaz Ahmad, who was instrumental in Mush's promotions. Former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz was also around. Both Niaz and Shaukat are in the closet Ahmadi/Qadiani circule around Musharraf - sect with a Head Quarter in Haifa, Israel. Qazi Hussain ahmad publicly said that Musharraf is introducing Parvezi creed in Paksitan. The first change that General Perwaiz Musharraf made in CBR is to replace its chairman, Mr Riyaz Naqvi, and appoint Mr Riaz Ahmad Malik Qadiani. This Qadiani mafia around him and their handlers have a total grip on the helm of affirs in Pakistan. Mush's secret meeting with Israeli leaders, Qadiani fellows, company of terrorist Altaf Hussain and the history of the Israeli involvment in the murder of General Zia (see: Who Killed Zia? and Israelis Killed Gen. Zia Says Ex-US Amabassador ) - all these links are so strong and so complex that ordinary people cannot easily put 2 and 2 together. Here, a short intro to Brig Niaz would help put things in a bit of perspective. Who is Brig (Retd) Niaz who is being given such prominence in the media. He is reputed to be an instructor of General (Retd) Musharaf and currently is being viewed as the Grand Deal maker of Musraraf's dying dispensation. Brig. Niaz who hails from village Dharnial Tehsil Pind Dadan (where majority profess to be followers of Ahmadi sect) was a sepoy clerk in the Army. Due to shortage of officers after partition the Army started a scheme whereby sepoy clerks were inducted into the officer ranks. Brig Niaz was amongst those who benefited from this scheme. Brig Niaz was amongst the three Brigadiers who played General Zia's game very cleverly in 1977 in Lahore during the PNA movement in the sense that they refused to come to the aid of an elected civil Government when it wanted to quell violence unleashed by the Mullah dominated alliance. The lawlessness in the country was later used as a pretext to impose Martial Law. Contrast this to the officer's corps willingness to go on killing a spree in Baluchistan, FATA, and Swat etc in order to save the unelected Government of an Army dictator. In retrospect the refusal to obey a civilian Governments order during a mullah lead campaign also confirms existence of Mullah – Military Alliance. After retirement from the Army Brig. Niaz started a food outlet in Lalkurti area of Rawalpindi Cantonment. His luck changed when General Zia Ul Haq summoned him and Brig (Retd) Ashraf Gondal (the other Brig at Lahore in 1977) and introduced them to the executives of Swedish (Ericsson) and Swiss (Orlikon) firms who were in the process of receiving huge Defense supply orders from the Army. Both these Brigadiers acted as front men for Zia Ul Haq. Multimillion dollars orders were placed for Law Altitude Defense Radars (LADS) with Ericsson of Sweden and for anti aircraft guns Orlikons with the Swiss Company. It is reported that these two deals netted a commission of nearly 100 million US Dollars which these Brigadiers shared with Zia Ul Haq. After becoming a millionaire in Dollar terms Brig. Niaz started living lavishly and entertaining lavishly. Parvaiz Musharaf was amongst the group of officers who were regularly supplied with all sorts of booze and other things in life courtesy the Brigadier who also employed Col. (Retd) Aslam Cheema a course mate and best friend (closer then Tariq Aziz) of Musharraf and after Musharraf's uncle retired he too was appointed as an office Manager in Niaz's Business. After Musharaf became the President Cheema became the main Defense supplier and a partner of Niaz. Both have managed to snatch the agencies of old established defense agents by forcing the suppliers to change agents if they wanted business in Pakistan. Over the last four years Cheema and Niaz (both Ahmedi's) have managed to secure following businesses:- 1) Supply of tank engines for Al - Khalid Al- Zarar tanks from Ukraine – worth nearly 500 millions US Dollars. 2) Supply of Early warning system for Air force from SAAB Sweden worth 1.2 Billion US Dollars. This deal signed one week after the earthquake of October 2005 was originally for 650 Million US Dollars. Niaz over invoiced it by US Dollars 550 million. What a rape of a poor country's resources. In addition Niaz Cheema are now the biggest contractor/suppliers in Civil Departments. One of their front Companies will be building the new GHQ worth billions of rupees. Obviously Mush gets a big share of this bounty. Niaz's recommendation matters the most in securing promotions and good postings both in the Army as well as on the Civilian side. Update: Brig. Niaz fits the description of a mafia don Brig
Bismillah [IslamCity] ruling: Place of one doing hajj for someone else
Question # 109318: Does the proxy have to set out for Hajj from the place of the one on whose behalf he is performing Hajj? Question: A woman from Yemen left instructions before she died telling her heirs to appoint someone to perform hajj on her behalf from her own wealth. Is it permissible for one who is living in Jeddah to perform Hajj on behalf of this woman? Can he enter ihraam from his house in Jeddah or should he go to the meeqaat of the people of Yemen, al-Saahili, and enter ihraam from there? Or does the one who is going to perform Hajj on behalf of this woman have to be from Yemen too, i.e., his departure for Hajj should be from Yemen? Does this pilgrim have to be from the same town as this woman who left this will?. Answer: Praise be to Allaah. The proxy does not have to do Hajj from the same town as the one on whose behalf he is doing Hajj, and he does not have to enter ihraam from his meeqaat, rather the proxy should enter ihraam from his own meeqaat. There is nothing wrong with performing Hajj from Jeddah on behalf of a woman from Yemen, and the proxy may enter ihraam from Jeddah. The Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas was asked about a man from Africa who wanted to delegate someone to do Hajj on behalf of his mother, and they replied: It is permissible for the person mentioned to appoint a trustworthy person from Makkah or elsewhere to do Hajj on behalf of his mother if she is deceased or is unable to do Hajj herself, because she is elderly or sick with no hope of recovery. And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.

Bismillah [IslamCity] ruling: Praying two nafils at Eid prayer place
Question # 5266: Is it permissible for a person who goes to the Eid prayers to pray two Rak'ahs for Tahiyyat al-Masjid in the prayer-place? Question: It has been proven that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went out to pray the Eid prayers in the prayer-place [not the regular mosque, but a place designated for Eid prayers], and men and women alike went out to pray with him. All of the Sahaabah continued to do likewise after he died. Is it permissible for a person who goes to the Eid prayers to pray two Rak'ahs for Tahiyyat al-Masjid in the prayer-place or not? Answer: Praise be to Allaah. A person who enters the prayer place to pray the Eid prayer should not pray Tahiyyat al-Masjid before sitting down, because doing this is different to the way the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) used to do things. And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.

PoEtEsS Prayer is the stepping stone of rewards and success when my life has its trials and my eyes has its tears…Zohra Moosa (Deaf Poet) *** {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. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness), and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: I am one of the Muslims.} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels. [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Got a Minute?
Got a Minute? See what you can earn in one thoughtful minute. By Kalim Farooqi A Great opportunity while we are still alive is to plan and act for tomorrow; invest one minute of your daily supply of 1440 minutes and reap benefit which no business can offer. Invest 15 minutes and multiply the rewards. We all know that Allah's promise is absolute truth and we should seek it and act according to His guidance. I am sharing this to promote Allah's consciousness and Love to serve Islam in the best way possible and benefit Insha-Allah in both Worlds. In one minute you can say Surat Al Fatiha 7 times. The reward for each reading of the Surah: 1420 good deeds! This is on the basis that there are 142 letters in the Surah, with each letter getting you 10 good deeds. So after doing a simple calculation, 7 readings will get you 9940 deeds. In one minute you can say: Laa Ilaaha Illa Allah, wahdahuLaa Shareeka Lah, Lahul Mulk Walahul Hamd, Wa Huwa 'Ala Kulli Shay'in Qadeer 20 times. There is no god worthy of worship but Allah, alone, without any partners. For Him is all Dominion and Praise, and He has control over everything. Each saying is equal to the deed of freeing 8 slaves. In one minute you can say Subhaanallahu wa bi Hamdihi 100 times. (All praise and glory is due to Allah) Whoever says this everyday will have his/her sins forgiven. But we should also remember that the best of deeds are those that are maintained on a regular basis. In one minute you can say Subhaanallahu wa bi Hamdihi, Subhaanallahu Al 'Azeem 50 times. (All Praise and Glory is due to Allah, All Praise is due to Allah the Almighty). These are a couple of phrases, light on the tongue, heavy on the scales (on the Day of Judgement), beloved to the All Merciful (Allah). (Agreed upon) In one minute you can say Subhaanallah, wa Al Hamdu Lil'lah, wa Laa Ilaaha Illallah, wa Allahu Akbar 18 times (All Praise is due to Allah, and All Glory is due to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest). These are the most beloved words to Allah and his Prophet that the sun has ever risen upon. In one minute you can say Laa Ilaaha Illallah approximately 50 times There is no true god worthy of worship, except Allah). Remember that these are the words of true Islamic Monotheism --- and act accordingly. In one minute you can say Laa Hawla wa Laa Kuwata Illa bi'llah over 40 times. (There is no Power and Might except by Allah) This sentence is one of the treasures of Paradise. In one minute you can say Salla-Allahu alayhi wa sallam 50 times. (Sending peace and blessings upon the Prophet) In return you get 500 blessings from Allah, as each darood you make to His Prophet 10 blessings are returned to you! In one minute you can contact your family and friends, and increase the bond between you and them. In one minute you can raise your hands to Allah and supplicate with any good words you wish. In one minute you can advise or compliment your brother/sister in Islam. In one minute you can greet any brothers in Islam, smile, shake hands and have a few good words with them. In one minute you can remove anything harmful that may be laying on the street. In one minute you can give a few words of comfort to a brother/sister who is concerned and sad for any reason In one minute you can read two pages of a useful book. An important note in conclusion: In order to take advantage of the phenomenal rewards outlined above we must maintain within our heart sincerity to Allah. We must understand and genuinely wish for what we are saying and doing. We also know that the best of deeds are those that are maintained on a regular basis. Also we need to remember that best deeds are those deeds that Allah made mandatory for us. So do you have a minute or more for the smart investment?
Bismillah [IslamCity] Fasting on the Day of Arafaah
It was reported from Abu Qutaadah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about fasting on the Day of Arafaah. He (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, It compensates for the (minor) sins of the past and the coming year. { Muslim, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah } This (fasting) is mustahabb for those who are not on Hajj. In the case of the one who is on Hajj, it is not Sunnah for him to fast on the Day of Arafaah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not fast on this day in Arafaah. It was narrated that he (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade fasting on the Day of Arafaah in Arafaah. __ Ask a question on any topic and get answers from real people. Go to Yahoo!

Bismillah [IslamCity] Say Words That Are Best
Bismillah hir rahmaan nir raheem Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu 17:53. And say to *My slaves (i.e. the true believers of Islâmic Monotheism) that they should (only) say those words that are the best. (Because) Shaitân (Satan) verily, sows disagreements among them. Surely, Shaitân (Satan) is to man a plain enemy. * -- *Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 2482 Narrated by AbuHurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say, O Allah, grant me benefit in what Thou hast taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase my knowledge. Praise be to Allah in all circumstances. I seek refuge in Allah from the state of those who go to Hell. Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a tradition whose isnad is gharib. Ameen *
