Bismillah [IslamCity] A POWERFUL STORY
A powerful story: Salah and its Importance of Performing it on Time ** * He remembered his grandmother's warning about praying on time: 'My son, you shouldn't leave prayer to this late time'. His grandmother's age was 70 but, whenever she heard the Adhan, she got up like an arrow and performed Salah. He, however could never win over his ego to get up and pray. Whatever he did, his Salah was always the last to be offered and he prayed it quickly to get it in on time. Thinking of this, he got up and realized that there were only 15 minutes left before Salat-ul Isha. He quickly made Wudhu and performed Salat-ul Maghrib. While making Tasbih, he again remembered his grandmother and was embarrassed by how he had prayed. His grandmother prayed with such tranquillity and peace. He began making Dua and went down to make Sajdah and stayed like that for a while. He had been at work all day and was tired, so tired. He awoke abruptly to the sound of noise and shouting. He was sweating profusely. He looked around. It was very crowded. Every direction he looked in was filled with people. Some stood frozen looking around, some were running left and right and some were on their knees with their heads in their hands just waiting. Pure fear and apprehension filled him as he realized where he was. His heart was about to burst. It was the Day of Judgment.. When he was alive, he had heard many things about the questioning on the Day of Judgment, but that seemed so long ago. Could this be something his mind made up? No, the wait and the fear were so great that he could not have imagined this. The interrogation was still going on. He began moving frantically from people to people to ask if his name had been called. No one could answer him. All of a sudden his name was called and the crowd split into two and made a passageway for him. Two angels grabbed his arms and led him forward. He walked with unknowing eyes through the crowd. The angels brought him to the center and left him there. His head was bent down and his whole life was passing in front of his eyes like a movie. He opened his eyes but saw only another world. The people were all helping others. He saw his father running from one lecture to the other, spending his wealth in the way of Islam. His mother invited guests to their house and one table was being set while the other was being cleared. He pleaded his case, 'I too was always on this path. I helped others. I spread the word of Allah. I performed my Salah. I fasted in the month of Ramadhan. Whatever Allah ordered us to do, I did.. Whatever he ordered us not to do, I did not.' He began to cry and think about how much he loved Allah. He knew that whatever he had done in life would be less than what Allah deserved and his only protector was Allah He was sweating like never before and was shaking all over. His eyes were fixed on the scale, waiting for the final decision. At last, the decision was made. The two angels with sheets of paper in their hands, turned to the crowd. His legs felt like they were going to collapse. He closed his eyes as they began to read the names of those people who were to enter Jahannam. His name was read first. He fell on his knees and yelled that this couldn't be, 'How could I go to Jahannam? I served others all my life, I spread the word of Allah to others'. His eyes had become blurry and he was shaking with sweat. The two angels took him by the arms. As his feet dragged, they went through the crowd and advanced toward the blazing flames of Jahannam. He was yelling and wondered if there was any person who was going to help him. He was yelling of all the good deeds he had done, how he had helped his father, his fasts, prayers, the Noble Qur'an that he read, he was asking if none of them would help him. The Jahannam angels continued to drag him. They had gotten closer to the Hellfire. He looked back and these were his last pleas. Had not Rasulullah [SAW] said, 'How clean would a person be who bathes in a river five times a day, so too does the Salah performed five times cleanse someone of their sins'? He began yelling, 'My prayers? My prayers? My prayers.?' The two angels did not stop, and they came to the edge of the abyss of Jahannam. The flames of the fire were burning his face. He looked back one last time, but his eyes were dry of hope and he had nothing left in him. One of the angels pushed him in. He found himself in the air and falling towards the flames. He had just fallen five or six feet when a hand grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back. He lifted his head and saw an old man with a long white beard. He wiped some dust off himself and asked him, 'Who are you?' The old man replied, 'I am your prayers'. 'Why are you so late! I was almost in the Fire! You rescued me at the last minute before I fell in'. The old man smiled and shook his head, 'You always performed me at the last
Bismillah [IslamCity] CIA Suspected of Rewriting History
Wikipedia Scanner outs Vatican, CIA August 17, 2007 a.. New Wiki program tracks and shows edits b.. CIA made changes to Iran President's entry c.. CIA claims vital mission to protect US The CIA has been accused of editing entries on the interactive encyclopedia Wikipedia. Wikipedia Scanner, an online tool, allegedly shows that workers on the agency's computers edited the page of Iran's president, the BBC reported. It also purportedly shows that the Vatican has edited entries about Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams and massaged entries on several Catholic Saints. It is believed the Vatican removed a link to newspaper stories alleging Mr Adams's fingerprints and handprints were found on a car used during a double murder in 1971. On the profile of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the tool indicates a worker on the CIA network reportedly added Wahh! before a section on the leader's plans for his presidency. Though Wikipedia posted a warning on the profile of the anonymous editor saying: You have recently vandalized a Wikipedia article, and you are now being asked to stop this type of behavior, the CIA denied confirming whether the Internet traffic came from any of the agency computers. I cannot confirm that the traffic you cite came from agency computers. I'd like in any case to underscore a far larger and more significant point that no one should doubt or forget: The CIA has a vital mission in protecting the United States, and the focus of this agency is there, on that decisive work, an agency spokesman said. A user at the US Democratic party headquarters was responsible for editing American right-wing radio DJ Rush Limbaugh's entry to describe him as a racist and a bigot, while describing his audience as legally retarded. Other, more innocuous, changes include tweaks to celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey. According to SBS.com, it seems the most widespread changes have been made by the Diebold company, supplier of the infamous voting machines at the centre of the storm surrounding the 2000 US presidential elections. Wikipedia Scanner shows company employees have removed up to 15 paragraphs of content describing its involvement in the controversial 'hanging chad' votes that were not counted in the poll. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22259259-2,00.html

Bismillah [IslamCity] Part 4: Who are the scholars and from whom should knowledge be taken?
asalamualikum... *Who are the scholars and from whom should knowledge be taken?* by *Shaykh Ahmed Muhammed Al-Munayee حفظه الله* on Sunday, June 18, 2006 http://www.albaseerah.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1910 - They are cautious and take their time before passing any type of religious ruling (fatwa) i.e. they are not hasty. Also, they would prefer that someone else passes a religious ruling instead of themselves, if there is another individual. They are also cautious in the area where they have no knowledge on a particular issue. If at a given moment they do not have at the forefront of their mind the evidence for a particular issue they will refrain from answering. - They are concerned about conveying knowledge and passing it on to others, and also teaching and instructing others in the knowledge that they have been given. - They are preoccupied with knowledge and putting it into practice. - When they deal with knowledge – whether conveying it or acquiring it – they start with that which is most important and then that which is important – there is prioritisation. This is done without becoming bored or tired, although it is something that they do constantly. - They have great concern for the knowledge; and for the areas of Tawheed and the Sunnah – that nothing touches these aspects of our Deen. - They are the ones who stand in defence of the Qur’aan, the Sunnah, and for the Deen in general. - They have humility and fear of Allaah and they depend on Him سبحانه و تعالى and they adhere to whatever He commands. Narrated by ‘Awf ibn Maalik al-Asja’ee رضى الله عنه that: *“The Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم once looked at the sky and he صلى الله عليه و سلم said “This seems to be the time of the raising up of knowledge,” so one of them said: “O Messenger of Allaah, how is it that knowledge will be raised up and we have the Book of Allaah and we read it and we study it and we teach it to our children?” The Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said: “I used to consider you one of the most knowledgeable people of Ahlul Madinah, didn’t the Jews and Christians have their book with them?[5] Should I not inform you of the first of the knowledge to be raised up?” He صلى الله عليه و سلم said: “khushoo and the fear of Allaah سبحانه و تعالى until you will not see a person having this type of humbleness in a state of fear in times to come”*.”[6] - They put knowledge into practice, so you find the scholar working with the knowledge that he has from the Qur’aan and the Sunnah, and being concerned about it. They practice the optional acts of worship, not to mention the compulsory acts of *eebaadah* (worship). They adhere to all these acts of worship, and they stay away from those things that are disliked and should be shunned. - Their knowledge is in the heart and not on the tongue. Knowledge is of two types: 1. Knowledge on the *tongue* – this is the evidence of Allaah سبحانه و تعالى that is used to convey to the people from the Qur’aan and from the Sunnah. The Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم mentions in the hadith: *“The Qur’aan is an evidence for or against you.”*[7] 2. Knowledge found in the *heart* – this is the beneficial knowledge. Al-Hasan رحمه الله said that *“Knowledge is of two types, knowledge on the tongue is the evidence of Allaah against the children of Aadam as comes in the hadith: “The Qur’aan is an evidence for or against you.” and knowledge in the heart is the truly beneficial knowledge.”* - They do not try to find an easy life which goes against the Deen and they stay away from innovations and from discussions which have no basis in the Deen. When Ibn Rajab رحمه اللهdealt with the virtue of knowledge of the Salaf over the Khalaf, this is one of the things that he pointed out as one of the characteristics that they (the Scholars) possess. - They try to avoid hasty religious rulings or being involved in passing them. This is an aspect of the Deen which the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم had much concern for – persons who pass religious rulings without being properly qualified. One of the reasons that we find the scholars of the past being very cautious is due to their fear of Allaah سبحانه و تعالى and the caution that they had in respect of their Deen, and a desire to free themselves form the responsibility of the fataawa that would be given. For this reason we find that this was the mannerism of the Sahaabah who were chosen to be the Companions of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم. They used to try and pass on the fataawa to someone else, who might be more knowledgeable in their eyes to pass religious rulings. Sometimes a person would come into Madinah and he would ask a question, and he would be told to go to someone else, and that person would say to go to someone else and he would go to

Bismillah [IslamCity] Punish wife-beaters, says court president
Punish wife-beaters, says court president By Na'eem Tamim Al-Hakeem RIYADH - Saleh Aaal Al-Sheikh, President of the District Court in Riyadh, has said that any husband who slaps or beats his wife severely should be punished. Al-Sheikh, speaking on the issue following remarks by a Saudi judge earlier this month saying that wives deserved to be slapped by their husbands if they overspent on clothes, said that Islam has honored human beings by protecting them from any assault and abuse. Islam has stipulated the penalties for anyone who commits mistakes. The husband may discipline the wife if she commits a mistake, but that doesn't mean slapping her in the face or beating her cruelly, Al-Sheikh told Okaz newspaper. Some Ulema (religious scholars) have said that he may only discipline her with the Siwak stick (a small twig used as a toothbrush), but slapping in the face is definitely forbidden in all cases, whether the wife is guilty or not, Al-Sheikh said. Domestic violence should be punished by the law, even if the wife withdraws her complaint, he added. Earlier this month Judge Hamad Al-Razine was quoted as saying that a wife who is given SR1,200 and spends SR900 of it on an abaya could be slapped. If her husband slaps her on the face as a reaction to her action, she deserves that punishment, Al-Razine said. The judge made the comments, in which he also stated that women were equally responsible for domestic violence yet escaped blame, at a seminar in Abha for the National Family Safety Program. - Okaz/SG http://www.saudigazette.com.sa/index.cfm?method=home.regconcontentID=2009052138558

Bismillah [IslamCity] ruling: Why women can't have multiple husbands at a time
Question # 10009: Why is it forbidden for a woman to have multiple
husbands at one time?
Question:
Why are women not allowed to have 3 or 4 husbands but men can have 3 or 4
wives?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
This is connected primarily to faith in Allaah. All religions are agreed that
it is not permissible for a woman to have intercourse with anyone except her
husband. Among these religions are those which are undoubtedly of heavenly
origin, such as Islam and the original versions of Judaism and Christianity.
Belief in Allaah dictates submission to His rulings and laws, for Allaah is
All-Wise and All-Knowing, He knows what is in the best interests of mankind. So
we may understand the wisdom behind the ruling of sharee'ah, or we may not be
able to grasp it.
With regard to the permissibility of multiple spouses for men and its
prohibition for women, there are several issues which are obvious to every
intelligent person. Allaah has made woman like a vessel, but man is not like
that. If a woman becomes pregnant (when she has had intercourse with a number
of men at one time), the father can never be known. People's lines of descent
and lineage will be mixed up, families will be destroyed and children will be
lost. Women will be burdened with so many children that they will be unable to
bring them up and spend on their maintenance. Maybe women would find themselves
forced to sterilize themselves, which would lead to the extinction of the human
race. Moreover it is medically proven now that one of the major causes of the
serious diseases which have become widespread, such as AIDS etc., is women
having intercourse with more than one man, and the mixing of seminal fluids in
the woman's womb causes these lethal diseases. Hence Allaah has prescribed a
waiting period ('iddah) for a woman who has been divorced or whose husband has
died, until enough time has passed for her womb and passages to be cleansed of
any traces of her former husband, and the monthly period also has a role to
play in this matter. Perhaps these brief pointers will dispense with the need
for a lengthy discussion. If the purpose of the question is research for a
university or other assignment, he may refer to the books which have been
written on the topic of plural marriage (polygyny) and the wisdom behind it.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Virtues of Being Pregnant In Islam
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wet nurse of Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet (peace of and blessings of Allah upon him) said, O Messenger of Allah (saw). You give glad tidings to the men and you do not give tidings to the women. He said, Did your female companions put you up to this? She said, Yes. The Prophet (saw) said: Does it not please one of you that if she is pregnant by her husband and he is pleased with her, that she will have the reward equal to one who fasts during the day and prays Qiyaam (tahajjud) at night for the sake of Allah. When her labor pains (contractions) start, no one in heaven or on earth knows what is concealed in her womb nor the delights (and pleasures) that await her. When she gives birth, not one drop of milk flows from her nor a (child's) suck, except that she will have the reward of 1 hasanah (good deed) for every drop and with every suck. If the baby keeps her awake at night, she will have the reward of freeing 70 slaves for the sake of Allah. O Salaamah, do you know who these women are? They are the chaste and righteous women who are obedient to their husbands and not ungrateful towards them. (Tabarani , Mu'jam awsat [7/20]; Abu Na'eem, in mu'jam Sahaaba no. 7049; Ibn Asaakir in Tareekh Dimashq [43/347])
