Looked back at him and said, 'Take the number of days in a year and multiply it with the number of days in a week and you will have your answer.' The person got astonished but as he was a Mushrik he still didn't believe Ali (A.S.). He calculated the answer Ali (A.S.) gave him. To his amazement he came across the following results: The number of Days in a Year = 360 (in Arabic Calendar) The Number of Days in a Week = 7 The product of the two numbers = 2520 2520 divide by 1 = 2520 2520 divide by 2 = 1260 2520 divide by 3 = 840 2520 divide by 4 = 630 2520 divide by 5 = 504 2520 divide by 6 = 420 2520 divide by 7 = 360 2520 divide by 8 = 315 2520 divide by 9 = 280 2520 divide by 10= 252 Second One day a person came to Ali (A.S.). He was planning to ask Ali (A.S.) such a question which would take Ali (A.S.) a long time to answer and because of that his Maghrib Prayers would be delayed. He asked, 'Ali you say you know everything in the world, then tell me which animals lay eggs and which animals give birth to their young ones Hazrat Ali (A.S.) looked back at him smiled and said, 'The animals who have their 'EARS' outside their body give birth to their young ones and the animals who have their 'EARS' inside their body lay eggs.' Third A person was about to die, and before dying he wrote his Will which went as follows 'I have 17 Camels, and I have three sons. Divide my Camels in such a way that My eldest son gets half of them, the second one gets 1/3rd of the total and my youngest son gets 1/9th of the total number of Camels' After his death when the relatives read his will they got extremely perplexed and said to each other that how can we divide 17 camels like this? So after a long hard thought they decided that there was only one man in Arabia who could help them: 'Ali Ibne Abi Taalib.' So they all came to the door of Ali (A.S.) and put forward their problem. Hazrat Ali (A.S.) said, 'Ok. I will divide the camels as per the man's will.' He said, 'I will lend one of my camels to the total which makes it 18 (17+1=18), now lets divide as per his will' The Eldest gets 1/2 of 18 = 9 The second one gets 1/3 of 18 = 6 and The Youngest gets 1/9 of 18 = 2 Now the total number of camels = 17 Then Hazrat Ali (A.S.) said, 'Now I will take my Camel back.'

Bismillah [IslamCity] ruling: Thinking of haraam things without actually doing them
Question # 111817: Thinking of haraam things without actually doing them Question: What is the ruling on a person thinking of doing haram acts like stealing or committing adultery, while he is sure that he will not do them even if it is very easy for him to do?. Answer: Praise be to Allaah. If something crosses a person's mind, such as thoughts of zina, stealing, consuming intoxicants and so on, but he does not do anything, then he is forgiven for that and he does not incur sin thereby, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Allaah has forgiven my ummah for what crosses their minds, so long as they do not speak of it or act upon it. And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Whoever thinks of doing a bad deed but does not do it, it will not be recorded against him; and according to another version, one hasanah (good deed) will be recorded for him, because he refrained from it for My sake. Agreed upon - narrated from the hadeeth of Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him). What this means is that if a person refrains from a bad deed that he was thinking of for the sake of Allaah, Allaah will record one hasanah for him, and if he refrains from it for any other reason, then no sayi'ah (bad deed) will be recorded against him, but no hasanah will be recorded for him either. This is the bounty of Allaah to His slaves; to Him be praise and thanks, there is no god but Him and no lord beside Him. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote. Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn Baaz (5/424) http://islamqa.com/en/ref/111817
Bismillah [IslamCity] Free speech and fatwas--http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2009/936/op3.htm
Free speech and fatwas Understanding and tolerance between the West and Islam can hardly be achieved when one side continues abusing the other, writes Aijaz Zaka Syed* http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2009/936/op3.htm#1#1 http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2009/936/op3.htm _ This appears to be a year of anniversaries. If Iran's revolution was marked last week, the media spotlight this week has been on the fatwa the late Ayatollah Khomeini issued against Salman Rushdi 20 years ago. A great deal has been said and written over the past two decades for and against The Satanic Verses as well as the fatwa condemning its author for his cheap offensive targeting the prophet of Islam. And today as the world revisits the storm Rushdi's underhand book and Iran's fatwa unleashed back then, a lot of chest thumping and hand wringing is going on in the West. Rushdi's defenders are back with a vengeance and both the rabid right and liberal left have joined forces to take on extremist Islam that is apparently a clear and present danger to the hallowed ideals and values of Western civilisation. At a time when anything to do with Islam and Muslims looks fair game, the Rushdi saga appears to offer another opportunity to all Islam bashers. Some cleverly cloak their invective in a critique of Iran and all the troubles it appears to be unleashing across the Middle East. Some target the alleged inherent intolerance of Islam and its followers in the name of debating free speech. The rest simply do not need an excuse to open another front in the war on Islamist terror. Seems we are the world's favourite punching bag. Just try using the same freedom against the Jews and see the instant results. Last week, British journalist and columnist Johann Hari wrote a rather nasty piece dripping with hatred for Islam in The Independent, a fine newspaper I've long admired. Of course, he does it in the name of defending free speech and human rights. Hari's article that was reproduced in The Statesman published from New Delhi and Calcutta generated lot of heat and dust in India, home to a large Muslim community. As a result, the Statesman's editor and publisher were arrested for hurting religious sensibilities. As a journalist, I empathise with the Statesman folks because they were penalised for no fault of theirs. But were the people who came out on the streets in protest wrong to do so? I don't think so. The Independent columnist was certainly out of line when he attacked Islam in his piece titled, Why should I respect these oppressive religions? But if you think Hari is equally irreverent to all religions, you'd better think again. The whole piece is devoted to Islam and its oppressive practices and teachings. Hari, who was last year awarded Newspaper Journalist of the Year by Amnesty International, is all worked up that world bodies like the United Nations are curbing the right to criticise religious beliefs. In fact, Hari's harangue begins with the lament that the right to criticise religion is being slowly doused in acid. Specifically, the writer is upset that the UN Human Rights Council has accepted an old demand by Muslim states to check the abuses of free expression including defamation of religions and prophets. In fact, Hari bewails the fact that with the UN conceding to the Muslim appeal against attacks on religious beliefs and symbols in the name of free speech, writers like Rushdi can no longer have the freedom to target Islam and its prophet. He goes on to complain that today, whenever a religious belief is criticised, its adherents immediately claim they are the victims of 'prejudice' -- and their outrage is increasingly being backed by laws. But that's how it should be, shouldn't it? What kind of freedom is it that gives you a right to hurt others and abuse their sacred beliefs and convictions? Arguing that nothing should be sacrosanct in a free society and that he is not attacking Muslims but their faith, Hari says: All people deserve respect, but not all ideas do! That's some argument and some logic! Fortunately or unfortunately, I've never lived and worked in the West. So I've really got no idea what makes the likes of Johann Hari reach this conclusion. But I've heard that line of reasoning before. Like when Sheriff Bush and Deputy Sheriff Blair reassured us that their war was not against Muslims but against a hateful, evil ideology. That is the cleverest thing to say -- or perhaps the dumbest! Because history would tell you that those looking to humiliate you will first attack what you believe in. Which is what Hari has been trying to do for some time. Which is what those behind the Danish cartoons sought to do when they abused the man who is loved and revered by a billion believers more than their own lives. This is also what the Dutch MP Geert Wilder, who has made a documentary entitled Fitna (Strife) comparing the Quran to Hitler's Mein Kampf, has been trying to accomplish. Wilder was denied entry into Britain recently,

Dr Aafia Siddiqui, suspected of having links to terrorist organizations, has been charged in a criminal complaint filed in a court of New York on account of attempting to kill US personnel during interrogation and on a charge of assaulting US officers and employees in Kabul, Afghanistan, on July 17, 2008. Subsequently Dr Aafia was imprisoned in Bagram for 18 days before being taken to the US for a trial. Due to pressure from Aafia Siddiqui’s family, the Pakistan government has been trying to secure her release from the US claiming her to be innocent. Although the US government has guaranteed Aafia the best legal assistance and a fair trial, her family is adamant that she be sent back on grounds that the US authorities have been consistently torturing her for years.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Israelis who refuse to fight Arabs
Father, forgive me, I will not fight for your Israel Omer Goldman, daughter of a former Mossad chief, tells why she prefers jail to the military draft Igal Sarna Omer Goldman is a pretty girl, slender as a model. Never still, very restless, she is filled with anxiety by the expected loss of her freedom. For months before she refused to be drafted into the Israel Defence Forces, she went to a psychologist every week to prepare for what was to come: incarceration in a cell in a military prison. I met her several times last month in an apartment with other girls who are conscientious objectors. Together they would hand out flyers against Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza at the gates of a high school like the one she left a year ago. On her last day of freedom as a civilian, I saw her at the gates of the intake base to which she had received orders to report for induction into a two-year stint with the defence forces, like every Israeli girl. She had come to refuse the draft, to be tried and to be imprisoned immediately. Several dozen supporters showed up - members of Anarchists Against the Wall, her mother and a few girlfriends - and she stayed close to them as though she were trying to delay the end, the moment when she would clash all alone with the army. For Omer, this transition is sharper and more surprising than for most conscientious objectors: she is the daughter of the former deputy head of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, the man who nearly became its head. Omer grew up all her life in the warm bosom of a huge security establishment that has now become an enemy rather than a friend. Her father appears in the newspapers as N. He was a senior intelligence officer who transferred to Mossad and climbed to the top until in 2007 he became the deputy to Mossad's chief, Meir Dagan, now considered the most powerful mystery man in the Israeli security system. N, whose speciality is Iran, was spoken of as Dagan's designated successor, but Dagan had no intention of retiring. Differences of opinion developed between the two strong bosses, and N resigned in June 2007. This was the time when his 18-year-old daughter Omer, a pampered child of the wealthy suburb of Ramat Hasharon, was beginning to move away from the usual high-school-to-army trajectory. In parallel to her father's struggle and his resignation from Mossad, Omer rebelled against the path he had paved for her and went to have a look at Palestinian life on the other side of the wall. Call this an adolescent's rebellion against her father or a battle for the heart of a father who had left home. She is one of about 40 pupils who signed a school-leavers' protest letter this year. Thirty-eight years ago the first such letter - a counterblast against the occupation and the war of attrition, sent by pupils in the final year of my secondary school to Golda Meir, the prime minister - caused an uproar. There have been other letters since then, and although the furore is not what it was, in Israel conscientious objection still arouses cold, self-righteous wrath. Omer told me that the crucial moment of her metamorphosis occurred this year when she went to a Palestinian village where the Israeli army had set up a roadblock. Someone she had considered her enemy all her life stood beside her and someone who was supposed to be defending her opened fire at her. We were sitting by the roadside talking and soldiers came along and after a few seconds they received an order and fired gas grenades and rubber bullets at us. Then it struck me, to my astonishment, that the soldiers were following an order without thinking. For the first time in my life, an Israeli soldier raised his weapon and fired at me. And when you told your father? Dad was astonished and angry that I had been there and endangered my life. After that we had conversations. He supported me as his daughter and we have a good relationship, but he is decidedly opposed to what I do and even more to my refusal to serve in the army. At first he thought this was a passing phase of adolescence and later he understood that this is coming from a place deep inside me. He and I have very similar characters. I, too, fight to the end for what I believe in. But we are opposites ideologically. When I ask more about her father, Omer smiles and does not answer. A rare moment of silence. On September 23 she refused to serve in the army, was tried and was sent to prison for 21 days. This week she will be tried again - and again, until the army tires or she tires. In two weeks' time my own son Noam is due to join the army, and I will be accompanying him to the base where I last saw Omer Goldman. Unlike her, Noam intends to do his military service. I understand them both. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article4925056.ece

RE: Bismillah [IslamCity] Indo-Israel collaboration Mumbai attacks
Let Muslims remember and pay heed to the warning of our Final and Last Messenger and Seal of All Prophets, Our Holy Prophet Muhammad (on whom Allah and His angels send their blessings, peace and salutations!) in the following words: Thawban reported the Apostle of Allah (peace upon him) as saying: The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish. Someone asked: Will that be because of our small numbers at that time? He replied: No, you will be numerous at that time; but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy, cast enervation (weakness) into your hearts. Someone asked what is Wahn (enervation, weakness). The Apostle of Allah: He replied: Love of the world and dislike of death. (Related by Imam Ahmad with strong chains of reporters and Abu Dawud) Not only Indo-Israel but Britain America European Union and United Nations are all united against the Muslims and are against their blood as in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kashmir, Palestine etc. Abdul Wahid Osman Belal To: islamcity@yahoogroups.com From: Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:47:09 +0500 Subject: Bismillah [IslamCity] Indo-Israel collaboration Mumbai attacks February 24, 2009 Col Ghulam Sarwar (R) India and Israel have been hobnobbing with each other for the past many decades but the world at large has been unmindful of their hush hush activities. Likewise, hidden ties with both USA and Israel have not seen light of the day and only recently details of these ties have been unravel lest. It will be recalled that on November 25, 2008, Mumbai terrorists did their job meticulously well by provoking every possible ally in the world. By killing foreigners in addition to many Indians, they enlisted the support of all western terrorist nations against Islam and Muslims. As a result, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kashmir and Muslims in India have been put on high alert as USA, UK and Israel are determined to strike a stunning blow on their entity. Pakistan, as expected is feeling rather perplexed on the presumption that Muslims might have been involved in the Mumbai carnage. These are however; far fetched apprehensions as in view of their religious beliefs, Muslims would not perform this dastardly act with such precision. As things stand, the Mumbai attacks may have chosen to target whatever comes in their way, be it the railway shorts or luxurious hotels, like “The Taj or Obroi Trident, or any community centre (Nariman House. However reports released recently have revealed that the assault on Nariman House was carried out deliberately with ulterior motives. Presumably, the terrorists had wanted to involve Israel also to join Indo-US strategic killings of Muslims. According to a retired Indian Admiral, Das, the aims of the attack on the Jewish Centre was to tell India that it’s growing links with Israel were not acceptable to the terrorist groups. Nariman House attack was to tell the Indians clearly that India’s growing linkage with Israel was not what India should be doing. Seen in this background, India wanted to use terrorism ploy to get military concessions from other anti-Islamic nations. India, for quite some time, had been making desperate efforts to develop relationships with both USA and Israel and it has been quite successful in its efforts. Interestingly, due to its clever machinations, it has also successfully maintained economic relations with the Muslim World - mainly the Gulf States. Apart from acquiring military wares from USA, Europe and Russia in recent times, India has become one of the largest customers of Israeli military techniques and arms which are considered more advanced and lethal in the world. India acquires weapons of about 1.5 billion dollars every year from Israel. Only Russia sells more arms to India than Israel. India believes that terrorism ploy could help advance its military interests in USA and Israel and its calculations seem to be absolutely precise and faultless. It may not be amiss to mention here that India seeks advance military equipment and technology at concessional rates by using Russia’s bargaining chips, but now Mumbai’s November 26, 2008 incident has given an extra advantage to New Delhi to obtain more privileges from Tel Aviv. Israel let loose hell in Palestine by using cluster bombs, killing thousands of innocent Palestinians including women and children. India, however, has not said a single word of sympathy for the hapless Palestinians. Instead, it is planning to sign more agreements in days to come with the Jewish state. To conclude, India and Israel thinks alike for damaging the interests of Muslim countries. However, it is a matter of deep egret that Muslims are not aware of the dangers that are currently facing them. How sad it is to see that when Palestine was under terror attacks from fascist

I know Izbet and other women like her will be so grateful to receive your baskets and support. You can also help the women of Gaza from your own backyard (or your own dining room) by hosting a house party to raise funds and awareness. Women around the country are creating evenings filled with food, music, poetry and information to educate friends and family about the often misunderstood crisis in Gaza.

RE: Re :Re: Bismillah [IslamCity] Dr. Zakir Naik - Defame And Destroy.
There are two versions which according to me are shiah and sunni. One has to read the khutba Hajjatul Wida (The Last Sermon) which mentions the Holy Quran and Holy Prophet's Sunnah and the other Ahlul Bait for which sunnis also hold them in respect. Abdul Wahid Osman Belal To: islamcity@yahoogroups.com From: Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:34:11 + Subject: Re :Re: Bismillah [IslamCity] Dr. Zakir Naik - Defame And Destroy. Ahlus sunnah wal Jamaah respects the family of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and also the companions of the Prophet. Unfortunately, shia have gone extreme in the religion by taking the family of Prophet as intermediaries, and by abusing the companions of the Prophet such as Umar and Abu Bakr(may Peace be upon them). Dr. Zakir Naik says what the scholars of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah say. If you are criticizing Dr. Zakir Naik, then you are also criticizing the stand of the Ahlus sunnsh wal Jamaah. visit www.islam-qa.com on issues relating to the deviance of the shia.

A) Suppose Quran Hadith is Islam though its not supported by Nas-e-Quran, which is Quran Prophet's Sunnah. Shia Sunni unanimously agreed that theres no hadith is as authentic,as Mutawatir, as consistent as Hadith-e-Thaqalain--Only Shia majority of sunni found this hadith as binding as consistent it is. Prophet says I am leaving behind Quran Ahlul-Baith stick with them--Hadith does not end here--It continues--Until they reach me at Hoz-e-Kausar. So Quran Ahlul Baith are inseperable until the judgment day--Its possible Zakir Naik preach Tauheed in his style convert few hindus but it does not give him certificate of Sirat-e-Mustaqeem. Islam is nothing but obedience to Allah obedience to Prophet(saw) because of obedience to Prophet as per His command obedience to Ahlul Baith is also Islam essential part of Eiman. Zakir Naik could never be bigger Maowwahid than Shaitan Iblees but he digressed as Shaitan when he thought he knew better than Allah how to worship Him. Worship means nothing but obedience--disregarding ahlul baith is as bad deviation as that of Shaitan. --- On Sat, 2/14/09, muham...@yahoo.com wrote: From: muham...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: Bismillah [IslamCity] Dr. Zakir Naik - Defame And Destroy.

A man with the name of Muhammad Bib Abdul Wahab who is follower of Mazhab of Imam Ahmed Bin Hamble (RA). Imam Ahmed Bib Hamble (Hambly Mazhab) is one out of four Mazhabs. It is said that these four Mazhabs are on Haq. Even then some persons having no knowledge of Islam do not hesitate to blame the Mazhab of Imam Ahmed Bin Hamble (RA). When we say that these four Mazhabs came into existance more than 100 years after the completion of Islam, and are not on the right path, even then some says that these four Mazhabs are on the right path. This is the admission of those people who blame Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab (Hambly Mazhab) as on right path and on the other hand these people blame Hambly Mazhab as on the wrong path. However, Islam is a name of Quran o Hadith, the follower of these two books are also consideredWahabi by Qabar Parast group. Even I have seen some non-sense people who are basically from Mazhab Hanfi declare to the follower of Hanfi Mazhab as Wahabi. They have no sense of Islam. Mr. Zakir Naik from India is a great schollar of Islam. He has won so many Munazras with ghair Muslims. He is true follower of Islam. I have seen on Internet that so many Hindus and other people have converted / accepted Islam with his struggle and knowledge. May Allah give him more courage to spread true Islam in the continent. Please do not hear / take care of such mails which are spread to defame schollare of Islam. Thanks.

Jamshed Iqbal One comes across several interesting comments from the people who have been defending Mr. Zakir Naik on Indian Muslims Blog. Most of my brothers and sisters are impressed by his “immense knowledge” without knowing that his kind of knowledge (database or retention) has nothing to do with religion at all. In other words the knowledge he and his fans boast of is irreligious in its very essence, for any true religion is an ever-flowing fountain of “wisdom” not “knowledge”. However, Mr. Naik is not an only man basking under this false impression but, it is pity

Bismillah [IslamCity] Deprogramming UK Muslim Prisoners
Deprogramming UK Muslim Prisoners IslamOnline.net Newspapers CAIRO - British prison authorities have designed a program on deprogramming Muslim prisoners to cure them from extremism with the help of therapists and some imams. It's about stopping violence, a source told the Daily Mail on Sunday, October 19. Our focus is on protecting the public and on reducing the risk of offenders hurting others. Crafted by the Ministry of Justice, a special Extremism Unit will use an experimental treatment program to cure Muslim prisoners from extremism. The program relies on cognitive behavioral therapy, similar to the de-programming methods used to unbrainwash members of religious cults. Under the program, the special unit will train prison staff to recognize the signs of extremism. Then, therapists would work with high-risk prisoners to change their perceptions. It's pretty clear it wouldn't work with everyone, admits another source. But our view of extremism is that, at the center, the views of the hardcore, high-profile leaders will not be subject to change. But for those further out, it may be quite effective. The deprogramming is part of a wide-ranging strategy to combat extremism in Britain. There is no official estimate about the number of Muslim prisoners in Britain but there are 90 Muslims serving time for terrorist offences. Imams' Help Some 150 Muslims imams are helping in the program, according to the Daily Mail. We're looking to them to shoot down the religious justification for violence, one source said. They have to be able to stand up to those who support terrorist killers and say they are wrong. Mahmood, an imam, has already been working with inmates at Whitemoor maximum-security prison in Cambridgeshire to change their extremist attitudes. Prisoners are like patients, and we are spiritual doctors who must make their best efforts to save patients who might die, he said. I make no exception for those convicted of terrorist offences: they need their treatment, too. If I see a murderer, I don't withhold my message. Last year, a study about current and former prisoners in England, Scotland and Wales said draconian policies adopted by prison authorities, like restricting prayers, Qur'an reading and access to programs and newspapers, radicalize inmates. My approach is, I don't judge. The judgment has been made by the court. If you judge, you cannot reform them. God is mercy. http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_Ccid=122408993pagename=Zone-English-News/NWELayout Comments: What extremism and violence are they talking about? Muslims are not engaged in violence except to counter and stop (zionist, jew, christian, hindu) Kuffar violence and terrorism against Muslims in Muslim lands. The focus of Muslims is also on protecting the public, the Muslim public, who are being attacked and bombed while asleep in the safety of their own homes, and hunted down, kidnapped and tortured around the globe! They call it radicalization when the person attacks them for forbidding his religion (salaat Qur'an).We can guess what signs of extremism they are looking for: A Muslim who reads al-Quraan and prays regularly, on time and in congregation (Jamaah). Also, a Muslim who rejects kuffar attacks and occupation of Muslim lands and refuses to condemn the Islamic resistance against these kuffar.
Bismillah [IslamCity] RIYADHU-US-SALEHEEN -Chap:11 # 100-101-104 107 On Striving (Mujahada)
11. Chapter: On Striving (Mujahada) Allah Almighty says, As for those do jihad in Our Way, We will guide them to Our paths. Truly Allah is with the good-doers, (29:69) and the Almighty says, And worship your Lord until whay is Certain comes to you. (15:99) The Almighty says, Remember the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him completely, (73:7) and the Almighty says, Whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it (W99:8; H99:7) The Almighty says, Whatever good you send ahead for your yourselves, you will find it with Allah as something better and as a greater reward. (W73;18; H73:20) The Almighty says, Whatever good you give away, be Allah knows it. (W2:272; H2:273) 100. Abu Hurayra said that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer although there is good in each. Desire that which will bring you benefit, and seek help from Allah and do not give way to incapacity. If something happens to you, do not say, 'If only I had done such-and-such.' Rather say, 'The decree of Allah. He does what He will.' Otherwise you will open yourself up to the action of Shaytan. [Muslim] 101. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, The Fire is surrounded by indulgence of appetites and Jannah is surrounded by things people dislike. [Agreed upon] 104. Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, Three things follow a dead person: his family, his property and his actions. Two of them return and one remains with him. His family and property return and his actions remain. [Agreed upon] 107. Abu 'Abdullah (or it is said Abu 'Abdu'r-Rahman) Thawban, the client of the Messenger of Allah, said, I heard the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), say, 'You must do a lot of prostration. For you do not do a single prostration to Allah without Allah raising you up a degree by it and shedding a wrong action from you.' [Muslim]
Bismillah [IslamCity] Sudan Diaspora Flock Home to Polish Image by Isma'il Kushkush
Sudan Diaspora Flock Home to Polish Image By Ismail Kamal Kushkush, IOL Correspondent If I can impact one person’s image of Sudan…that’s one less person with negative feelings toward Sudan, El-Kogali told IOL. KHARTOUM — Many young Sudanese professionals who grew up abroad are returning to their home country to help contribute to its development and improve its image. Sudan has an image problem because we don’t know how to market ourselves to the rest of the world, Issraa El-Kogali, a freelance photographer who grew up in Egypt, the UK and the US, told IslamOnline.net. Conflict in Darfur, commonly described as a genocide pitting Arabs against Africans, has brought much international media attention to Sudan. There isn’t a genuine interest in the cultural of Sudan; the focus is on political conflicts and economic difficulties, regrets El-Kogali, 29. Critical of international media coverage of her country, she came back in 2003 after spending twenty-one years of her young life abroad and decided to work as a communications professional. She uses her talent to present positive images of Sudan. Her recent exhibition, Zeina: A Photo Iconography, was held in Khartoum, London and Washington DC, presenting iconic images from northern Sudan. We have two images of Sudan; [the first] is a distorted media-created identity that focuses [only] on civil war and hunger, explains Malak Abubaker, 26, who was born and raised in Kuwait and educated in the United Arab Emirates. But what sinks my heart is that beautiful images of Sudan are not published; we have a lot to show for and present. She also returned to Sudan three years ago and is a communications manager with a management consultancy company. Development Abusin (L) and Abubaker believe their company can positively help Sudan’s image by showcasing businesses and individuals.While all the young professionals seek to contribute to Sudan’s development and improve its image, they are doing it in different ways. Mustafa Khogali, 35, was born in Cote d’Ivoire, raised in Kuwait and educated in the USA. Hearing so much negativity about Sudan [abroad] made me want to come back, asses for myself and make a difference, he told IOL. Khogali currently manages an oil field suppl y company in Khartoum. He believes that his education allows him to work with investors and bring needed experience to the Sudanese economy. I convinced a Malaysian company to come to Sudan who were initially reluctant, he noted, adding that the Malaysians are telling him that the situation is not bad as the media projects it. They are here now and they are happy. Mazin Abusin, 37, who grew up in the US and UK, came back to found a management consultancy company. He seeks to help clients to manage their projects in a more effective and efficient manner. Sudan has witnessed an increase in foreign direct investments in the past five years with the discovery of oil and the end of civil war in the south. Abusin believes that his company can positively help Sudan’s image by showcasing businesses and individuals. Abubaker, who is the company's communication manager, agrees. We are trying to showcase Sudan as a successful county not denying the challenges but looking out for solutions. Despite political challenges, Sudan has witnessed double digit economic growth in the past five years because of oil revenues and foreign investment. Abubaker says that foreign investors she has spoken to have been encouraging her work. 'The time for it is now' they tell me. While none of these young professionals believe they will see an immediate change in perceptions of Sudan abroad, they are hopeful because of the positive feedback they are getting. If I can impact one person’s image of Sudan, one khawaja [foreigner], that’s one less person with negative feelings toward Sudan, maintains El-Kogali, the photographer. Luis Bueno, deputy head of the mission of the Embassy of Spain in Khartoum, has seen her works and is quite impressed. She dwells in the history of the country’s symbols, he notes. The pictures [leave] a positive impression of Sudan. * Isma’il Kamal Kushkush is a Sudanese-American freelance writer currently based in Khartoum, Sudan http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_Ccid=1235628700237pagename=Zone-English-News/NWELayout
