[IslamCity] Assistance needed for dying two revert brothers -- please read the mail and visit the brother and pass the message
Dear All , Assalamou'alaikum Please pass this message to your friends in london, the following message is true, i did investigation about it.So please help and make a dua forthe brother and pass on the message. Ws khan sab It's important that we do what we can - for his sake, his family's sake and our own sake."Abu Hurayrah said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, will say on the Day of Rising, 'Son of Adam, I was ill and you did not visit Me.' The man will say, 'O Lord, how could I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?' He will say,
'Did you not know that My slave so-and-so was ill and you did not visit him? Do you not know that if you had visited him, you would have found Me with him? '" [Muslim]Indeed to Allah we belong and to Him we will return I bring you sad news of a revert brother who is terminally ill. His name isLeslie Craddle. He is dying of stomach cancer with which he has been suffering for 7 years. All Praise to Allah, he converted to Islam 2 yearsago and when my husband last spoke to him his faith seemed strong. He is, however, not getting enough support from the Muslims. He and his non-Muslim family have requested that muslims visit him, but very few brothers have visited. He is very weak and asleep most of the time from a combination of exhaustion and pain killers. When
asked to make dhikr, he responded that he was too tired. Brother Julaibib also met his mother today who does not know how the Muslims take care of their dead. She did mention that she wants someone responsible to take charge and that he musn't be forgotten or she will have him buriedat her local church. So, there are three requests: 1. Please encourage the men of your family to visit him so that he can constantly be encouraged to make dhikr and remember Allah and prepare forhis meeting with Him. He is now in St Michael's Ward, Trinity Hospice, 30 Clapham Common North Side, London, SW4 0RN. 020 7787 1000. He can onlytolerate short visits so you need to plan for a 5-10 min visit. Visitors can just turn up at any time and the receptionist will show them where to go. 2. Sisters: Please send
cards, letters etc., and encourage your children to do so. It doesn't need to be complicated: a dua with a picture drawn by a child are a beautiful and inspiring combination. Address: Leslie Craddle,St. Michael's Ward, Trinity Hospice, 30 Clapham Common North Side, London,SW4 0RN.3. A couple of brothers are looking into what can be done for his funeral... Please keep an ear out in case requests are made for donations to cover the cost etc, also for ladies to attend the janazah prayer and speak to his female relatives. I will send out more information insha' Allah when necessary.Insha' Allah this is the time to show that we have a community that is capable of establishing the rites of Islam and that we can rise to thechallenges and difficulties that our community throws us. Please pass this information to anyone that can
help...particularly if youknow anyone retired, on-leave, etc, who has time to visit.And Allah is the source of all help. May he keep us firm on His Deen in our last moments 2 message It is with great sadness I inform the community of yet another young new Muslim desperately ill whom they have neglected.Shahid Jones, 20, is suffering from very serious cancer. He is near immobile and in pain but can communicate. His mother was clearly disappointed that he has only recently had visits from the Muslim community as he has been hospital since January.He is currently in Chelsea and Westminister hospital, The Thomas Macaulay Ward, 2nd
Floor, Lift Bank B (enquiries 020 8746 8540). Nearest underground stations are Fulham Broadway, Earls Court, South Kensington. Visiting hours are continual subject to the needs of the patient and his carers. Click here for directions.The Islamic etiquettes of visiting the ill are widely available as books and on the internet. Further to that, I would advise that you visit in no more than pairs, so as not to intimidate and exhaust the patient, and to introduce yourself personally with a smile. Try to be close as possible and even touch them to show that you are comfortable in their presence. Give glad tidings of Allah's mercy, perhaps even recite some Quran. Ask them to pray for you to make them feel special. And Allah knows best.To be a true Islamic community we need to look after our new members. Please circulate widely by word of mouth, email, forums, annoucements at mosques and study circles. It was very encouraging to the see the response for Leslie Crabbe's situation. Ws zahid khan

WORLD CAPITALS, April 17, 2006 (IslamOnline.net) – With
millions of Palestinians hardly able to make ends meet, several Arab and
Muslim countries offered aid to the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority
while local fund-raising campaigns have been launched across the Muslim
world to counter international aid freeze.
Iran announced on Monday, April 17, that it was giving $100
million in aid to the new Hamas-led Palestinian government, doubling the
initial figure it announced a day earlier.
Qatar also confirmed Monday giving $50 million in aid to the
PA despite calls from Washington and the EU to halt funding to the
Hamas-led government.
The Gulf emirate said the aid decision "stems from Qatar's
support for the Palestinian people."
A Foreign Ministry official told the state-owned news agency
part of the money was Qatar's contribution to the $55 million a month
pledged by Arab leaders to the PA at the Khartoum summit in
March.
The new Palestinian government, which inherited not only an
empty treasury but 1.7 billion dollars in debts, has been unable to pay
thousands of civil servants because of aid cuts by the US and the
EU.
Israel has also frozen the transfer of tax and customs
receipts it collects on behalf of the PA, worth up to $50 million a
month.
The Palestinian government needs $170 million a month, out of
which $115 million goes to paying salaries.
Fund-raising
Bouteflika is urged to allocate
one day's oil revenues every month to the
Palestinians.
Syrian Vice President Faruq Al-Shara said Sunday, April 16,
that bank accounts would be opened for people to donate to the Palestinian
people.
"I hope that Arab countries will not be swayed by the pretext
that these funds would be used for terrorist activities," he told a joint
press conference with former Iranian president Akhar Hashemi
Rafsanjani.
"This aid will serve to avoid a real catastrophe in
Palestine."
Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Al-Zahar left on a trip
to Arab nations on Friday, April 14, hoping to drum up funding and
foil Western efforts to isolate his financially stricken
government.
The Itlaf Al-Kheir relief organization has urged Algerian
President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to allocate one day's oil revenues every
month to the Palestinian people.
"The Palestinians are in a dire need of your help. It is a
duty on all of us," the organization's secretary general, Essam Yusuf,
said in remarks published by Al-Bilad newspaper.
He said the organization's call is based on a poll showing
that an overwhelming majority of Algerians supported the
campaign.
An OPEC member, Algeria produces 1.45 million barrels per day
and is projected to increase its production to two million bpd by
2010.
The North African country has confirmed oil reserves of 11.3
billion barrels of crude oil.
Itlaf Al-Kheir is comprised of some 56 Arab and Islamic
affiliate organizations.
The 22-member Arab League launched last week grassroots
campaigns across the Arab world to raise funds for the PA.
Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, the head of the International Union
of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), has urged world Muslims to financially support
the suffering Palestinian people.

GEOGRAPHICAL TERRITORIES FOR ISRAEL-II THE GHALI SHIA IMAMI ISMAILI AGAKHANI STATE: - The study of the following areas from Northern Pakistan, Afghanistan, The Newly Independent Muslim States of Central Asia, and Sikiang represent a picture of territory of the of Afghanistan. The situation of these areas is highly sensitive the strategically abridged details of which are submitted under the heading Political Situation. (I) The territorial areas from N.W.F.P. Pakistan :-(i) Hunza, (ii) Gojalbala Khudaabad, (iii) Altit / Baltit,(new name Karimabad) (iv) Gulmit, (v) Aliabad Hunza, (vi) Nasirabad Hunza, (vi) Shimshaang (vii) Chupersan Khairabad, (viii) Gilgit, (ix) Sultanabad / Ashikhabad / Danyor, (x) Puniyal / Ishkoman, (xi) Skardu (xii) Sherqila / Ghizar, (xiii) Damas, (xiv) Immit, (xv) Chatoorkhand, (xvi) Gopis / Yassin (xvii) Phunder, (xviii) Goloch-Muli, (xix) Pingal, (xx) Yassin, (xxi) Silgan, (xxii) Thotu (xiii) Sandy (Sultanabad) (xxiv) Chitral, (xxv) Madaglasht (xxvi) Shoghore,(xxvii) Karimabad, (xxviii) Lotkoh, (xxix) Sanogore, (xxx) Asspiru (Safed) Arkari, (xxxi) Gharum Chashma,(xxxii) Rech (Wasich), (xxxiii) Khot (Shutkhar) (xxxiv) Booni, (xxxv) Mudkhow, (xxxvi) Mastuj, (xxxvii) Laspur,(xxxviii) Lasht, (xxxix) Yarkhun Brep. (xl) Reshun, (xli) Zayyat, (xlii) Korag, (xliii) Charun, (xliv) Aawi (xlv) Parwak, (xlvi) Morder, (xlvii) Sahat.

(II) Territories from the state of Afghanistan :- (i) Bughlan, (ii) Pul-I Kumri, (iii) Darra Kiyan, (iv) Badakhshan, (v) North east parts of Afghanistan including Wakhan. (III) Misc. Territories :- Palmirs :- Liittle and greater Palmirirs, Southern Tajikistan, (iii)Southern Uzbekistan, (iv) Adjacent parts of Sikkim. If we look at the map and demarcate this state we can observe: - (a) The area is more than Afghanistan. (b) The eastern border can be China. (c) In the south is northern area of Pakistan (d) In the west there is western and north of Afghanistan. (e) In the north there are Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Pamirs.

(h) From Military point of view this area has high protection natural quotient. (i) Economically it is very productive because of trade. (j) Politically very fertile ground for the espionage in all the neighbouring countries. (k) Karakoram High Way, the only land link with China passes from this area.

In case these rivers are diverted Pakistan can be desert in no time. (r) Frontiers of Islam can be violated. Aga Khan Cult Ideology and Cult practices can infiltrate into Islamic Culture, Islamic IdeologyI Irreversible damage to Islamic values is highly probable. (s) Aga Khan Ismaili Cult is the antithesis of Islam. Its Cult ideology and Cult practices are Mushricana and Kufrana. (t) International Zionism, the Christianity, Iran and India are supporting the cause of this Aga Khan Ismaili State. P O I N T S T O P O N D E R Point 1. RUSSIA AND AGA KHANI ISMAILIES: Aga Khan had secret contacts with Anti-Islamic elements and agencies viz. International Zionism, USSR, India and UNO through his uncle Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan. He had prior information of Russo-Indian-Zionist conspiracy. This conspiracy resulted into Indian Military attack on East Pakistan The Aga Khan had previous knowledge of these evil designs. Ismailis, the followers of Aga Khan were under the direct patronage and protection of Russia U.S.A. and International Zionist during 1971 war with India in 1971-72. This is evident out of the facts that: - (a) Six months prior to this episode Aga Khan had ordained his followers by secret Sermons / Farameens to shift their children and women folk to West Pakistan or India or to any other foreign country. (b) Aga Khan had ordained that all the assets held by the followers were to be liquidated and the proceeds to be carried away in parts one part to West Pakistan and other one to Western Countries. (c) At the time of fall of East Pakistan and fall of Dacca, all the Ismailis were housed and sheltered within the premises of Russian Embassy and other Russian Consulates.
