[IslamCity] Let's pray for Human Beings
Assalamu-Alaikum, Please take a moment to relax your mind and humble your heart to focus on ALLAH. Allow Allah, to occupy your mind while you read this DUA. If we can take the time to read long jokes, stories, etc., we should give the same respect to this DUA. Friends that pray together, stay together. Let's pray... OH ALLAH, I thank You for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are forgiving and understanding, Oh Allah. You have done so much for me You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask YOU now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me continue to see sin through YOUR eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent and receive YOUR forgiveness. And when this world closes in on me, let me remember YOU - to slip away and find a quiet place to make DUA. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't make DUA, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I make DUA for those that are lost and can't find their way. I make DUA for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I make DUA for those who don't know You intimately I make DUA for those that will delete this without sharing it with others. I make DUA for those that don't believe. But I thank you that I believe. I believe that Allah changes people and Allah changes things. I make DUA for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I make DUA for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I make DUA that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than Allah. Every battle is in your hands for You to fight. I make DUA that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly. This is my DUA. Aameen. *** {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.

Re: [IslamCity] The Place of Tasawwuf in Traditional Islam
There is much false attribution of sufism to noble scholars like Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Jawzi.

Re: [IslamCity] FATWA ON WOMAN COVERING HER FACE IN PRESENCE OF STRANGERS
walaikumasslam if u read the fatwa carefully you will get the answer. --- Abdeen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Assaalamualaikum Saba, This is the question: Is it necessary for a woman to cover her face in the presence of strangers (who are not her designated Mahaarim) ? In performing Umrah/Haj - you know that they cannot cover their faces.Here they are before millions of strangers. According to famous jurists of Islam :- IMAM MALIK...-The entire body of a woman is included in satr (i.e. parts which should be kept covered) except the hands and face. IMAM SHAFII Also makes an exception in favour of the face and hands. IMAM AHMED - Entire body of a woman should be kept fully covered except the face. IMAM HANBAL Entire body of a woman should be kept fully covered except the face.

According to Ibn Hazm in his book al - Muhalla that the Quranic words they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof, expressly permit the uncovering of the face and the hands. abdeen ---Original Message--- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 04/14/06 18:47:12 To: eGroup For Muslims Around The World Subject: [IslamCity] FATWA ON WOMAN COVERING HER FACE IN PRESENCE OF STRANGERS Is it necessary for a woman to cover her face in the presence of strangers (who are not her designated Mahaarim) according to Shariáh? Answer 15617 2005-09-07 This question is answered in this article in the context of the claim that the veil or Niqaab is primarily a social requirement and custom according to the environment and custom and according to the environment and customs of a particular country. In endeavouring to answer the question, we will confine ourselves to a brief examination of the relevant Qurãnic verses. Surah An-Nur, Verses 30 and 31 And Say to the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bossoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husbands fathers, or their sons, or their husbands sons, or their brothers or their brothers sons, or their sisters sons, or their (Muslim women) (i.e. sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful It is apparent that upon a plain reading the purpose of the verse is to eradicate promiscuity, fornication and adultery and all the preliminary steps that lead directly to the commission of such shameful acts. The references to lowering their gaze, drawing their veils over their bosoms and striking their feet to draw attention indicate that all acts or omissions which, in the ordinary course leads directly to sexual promiscuity and FITNAH are forbidden. In order to totally eradicate sexual promiscuity and FITNAH, the verse goes on to say that a woman is not permitted to display her beauty and charms except in degrees to her husband, father and the other classes of person specified in the verse. The exempt class would constitute the MAHAARIM, and any other would qualify as strangers or GHAIR MAHRAM. The principle fixed by the verse is, therefore, that a woman cannot display her beauty to any male person other than the persons exempted by the verse. It goes without saying that the face is the focal-point of a womans beauty, and the main source of attraction. Hence, the face of a woman cannot be displayed or shown to a stranger in normal circumstances whether in public or private according to the general principle fixed by the verse as stated above. She is permitted to display her beauty to the exempt class (the MAHAARIM) for obvious reasons of close contact, and because of the considerably lesser danger of sexual promiscuity and FITNAH within that class. (Zamakhshari) The Shariáh, however, is practical, dynamic and takes into account the real situations of life. A woman may - in the case of genuine need - be forced to expose her face in the presence of strangers. For example, when she appears in court to give witness, etc. It is

[IslamCity] Democracy is our choice tawards a civil state-- Dr Mohamed Habib, Dy chairman, Muslim Brotherhood (www.ikhwanweb.com )
Dear members, Assalamu Alaikum. Iam forwarding the statement of Deputy leader of Muslim Brotherhood on the establishment of a civil State with an Islamic frame of reference. He says, We accept democracy and Political pluralism.(www.ikhwanweb.com ). Shah Abdul Hannan Habib: Democracy is Our Choice Toward a Civil State Ikhwanweb - Cairo, Egypt Tuesday, April 11, 2006 Dr. Mohamed Habib, Deputy Chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), reiterated that democracy is the MBs choice toward the establishment of a civil State with an Islamic frame of reference. We accept democracy and Political pluralism In an interview with the Spanish daily ABC, Dr. Habib said, Muslim Brothers have declared their adoption of democracy and acceptance of that choice as a basis for change toward the establishment of a State based on justice and freedom. They similarly declared their acceptance of political pluralism, peaceful rotation of power and the fact that the nation is the source of powers. Dr. Habibwent on to say that the people is the only party that has the right to choose their government, deputies and representatives and the right to bring them to account and to dismiss them in case of failure to carry out their task. Separation of powers protect citizens' rights He added, Muslim Brothers believe in a State of institutions and that there must be a true separation of powers between the legislative, judiciary and executive branches of government in order to provide the basics of society that would ensure the enjoyment by its citizens of their full rights. Muslim Brotherhood and the Copts In reply to a question about relations between the Muslim Brotherhood and Copts, Dr. Habib said the latter are part of the fabric of this society, they form with us one body of citizens living in one country and have all the rights associated with citizenship. Habib went on to say that, Muslim Brothers believe that filling public posts must be based on considerations of efficiency, ability and distinction. Successive governments have during several decades tried to instill in the minds Copts fears related to the ascendancy of Muslim Brothers. This has contributed to Copts self-imposed isolation and the absence of attempts on their part to integrate themselves in the political life. Hamasrestored palestinians' dignity The Deputy Chairman of the MB concluded his interview by stressing that Hamas had played a vital role in redeeming the dignity of the Palestinian people, by directing painful strikes at the Israeli occupying forces, thereby shattering its security doctrine and causing it human casualties, an economic slowdown and reduced touristic activity within the Zionist state.

Though the conference was intended to start a religiouspeace movement, it also served to publicly align Muslims with the DalaiLama, considered by many the incarnation of divine compassion whose iconicimage has become an international symbol of peace. Representatives from the world's major religions --Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and American Indiantraditions -- came from as far away as Egypt, some with just two weeks'notice. Organizers hoped that the Dalai Lama's support wouldhelp mend Islam's reputation in the West. The religion's image has beenbattered by world events including the attacks of Sept. 11, the subsequentwar in Iraq and the riots following Danish cartoons depicting the ProphetMuhammad, including one showing him wearing a bomb in histurban. ``He has a lot of energy in the United States. Peoplelike him, respect him,'' said Imam Seyed Mehdi Khorasani, who invited theNobel peace laureate to the two-day conference after befriending him inSeptember. ``Why should we not use him for our cause?'' In Western society, Buddhism probably has the bestpublic image because of its association with peace, said Sheikh HamzaYusuf, founder of the Zaytuna Institute. Islam, he said, has the worst,because people have linked it with violence. Yusuf cited recent polls showing more than 40 percent ofAmericans had negative views of Islam. A Washington Post/ABC News polllast month found that nearly 60 percent of those polled thought there weremore violent extremists within Islam than other religions. Followers want to change those perceptions, noting thatthey too are part of the Abrahamic faiths. Muslims believe that Muhammadis the last in a line of prophets that include Moses andJesus. ``Ordinary people have these great misconceptions, whichfuels more extremism,'' Yusuf said to reporters, noting that the currenttensions were ``untenable.'' ``You better change perceptions,'' he said. ``Not toreach extremists like bin Laden -- I don't think we'll reach him with theDalai Lama, to be honest

He was subsequently granted permanent resident status on arrival in Canada on April 27, 1985.On May 17, 1988, Issam Al Yamani applied for Canadian citizenship. Since that time, Canadian authorities have been attempting to deport Issam due to his previous political affiliations with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).For the last 21 years, Issam and his family have called Canada their home. Yet, the Canadian government wants him to leave his home simply because of his affiliation with the Popular Front.You can act today to stop this from happening. No matter where you live, write to the Canadian government and tell them to put a stop to this unfair and immoral action.Issam's father was one of the founding members of the PFLP. He grew up in a community committed to the self determination for Palestinians. Because of his father, Issam came to know many persons in the Palestinian leadership. Issam had previously been a member of the political wing of the PFLP but severed all ties in 1991. He has never engaged in or been in any way involved with acts of violence.We call on all supporters of Palestinian and refugee rights to act urgently to prevent the deportation of Issam Al-Yamani.Please contact the Canadian Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, the Minister of Citizenship and the Prime Minister of Canada, and ask them to halt his deportation and use their discretionary power to grant Issam Al-Yamani permanent status in Canada.MINISTERS' CONTACT INFORMATIONMonte SolbergMinister of Citizenship and ImmigrationOttawa, OntarioK1A 0A6Phone: 613-992-4516Fax: 613-992-6181E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Stockwell DayMinister of Public Safety and Emergency PreparednessOttawa, OntarioK1A 0A6Phone: 613-995-1702Fax:

[IslamCity] Please pray for sister dawn
Salam alaikum. Many of you know sister dawn. She is a dedicated Muslimah, who accepted Islam several years ago. She is also the found and moderator of several yahoo groups, such as Islamicminds, muslim_youth_connection. More importantly, she is one of the most kind and generous person that anyone will ever get to know. I know her so well for so many years and I have far too many stories to share. For now I ask that you please pray for Sister Dawn. She had chest pains and shortness of breath and other bad symptoms. Thank Allah, it wasn't a heart attack or anything like that. The doctors said it was a very bad reaction to some medication or maybe combination of medication she was taking for a different health problem. Although if may not be as serious as we thought it was, she has been having continuous health problems for the last few years. Alhamdulillah, it has only cause her to be more generous and helpful toward the needy. Please pray for her over the next few weeks as the doctors try to get her system straightened out and get her on medication which will help her condition. She personally writes to a lot of group members and just know that she may now answer your letters for a while. However you are welcome to write to her directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have received some very concerned offline from sister dawns daughter asking if their non Muslims friends could pray for her mother as well. There is only One God, therefore we all pray to the same God.So I ask that everyone regardless of your belief please pray for sister dawn as we never know whose prayer Allah will accept. Maqsud, on behalf of all of sister dawns well wishers. Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.

[IslamCity] Re: Blog Updated
I feel very hurt and sadden by the harsh statements which were made to this sister. No one knows another's intention, only Allah (SWT) is the best of judgment. Even if you felt the sister had made a mistake, there is a way to approach the situation, give Quran and Sunnah to back it with humility and not arrogance. Please do it in such a way that it will encourage her to try to gain more knowledge. I am so disappointed when Muslims attach each other, and do less to attack the perpetrators of lies against our faith. Attack the Islamaphobic media, attack the ignorance that influences artist to draw horrible images of our dear Prophet (SAW) BUT DON'T ATTACK ANOTHER MUSLIM WHO IS ONLY TRYING TO CONVEY THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM. Pray for them. Please encourage them, and support them, isn't this the best way? Correct them, yes, but in the right way according to the way of the Prophet (SAW). Please do not send replies to this message that are mean spirited. I am trying hard to work for the cause of Islam and to increase my iman.

I have in no way made any fatwas or implied any in part. It is my intentions to convey a positive message to our brothers and sisters who have fallen victim to the trap of caring more about pleasing man, and caring what others think more than Allah (SWT). We are to always be reminded to fear Allah above all creations. My article was written as a reminder, not just to the readers, but to remind myself. I have received many positivesremarks from scholars about this article. I took the time to send this article to a scholar before publishing it. Here is what Sheikh Salem Al Amry from Dubai said Alhamdulilah I am glad you wrote this article and I encourage you to write more articles to you. All the hadith you have quoted are authentic and a very good reminder. May Allah reward you for your efforts. There is a kinder gentiler way to disagree and I felt the manner in which you rebuked my article was not done in the true spirit of Isalm. Br. Abdeen you are clearly judging and I request you to read the verse related to judging. And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).

[IslamCity] THE MUSLIM LADY HER ROLE AND HER HONOR
THE MUSLIM LADY HER ROLE AND HER HONOR Evidence from the Holy Quran: Believers, men and women, are protectors, one of another: then enjoin what is right and forbid what is evil.(Surah at-Tawba:71) Quran: And say to the believing women that then should lower their gaze and guard their modesty, and not display their ornaments except to their husbands or their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands of their sons, or the sons of their husbands or their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons or their women or those whom their right hands possess, or the male servants not having need (of women), or the children who have not attained knowledge of what is hidden of women; and let them not strike their feet so that what they hide of their ornaments may be known... (Surah an-Noor:31) The role of a Muslim lady is quite unique in the fact that Islam has already prescribed here role and responsibility to Almighty God, her husband, her children, other family members, her community, and society, as well as herself. Every aspect of her life from birth to death, has been outlined and placed in perfect order by Creator Himself. As Almighty God cares for and tends to the needs of all creatures, great and small, why would He not address the needs of His superior creation, which is human kind? Outwardly, it would be extremely difficult not to recognize a Muslim lady, if she is indeed adhering to the commands of Almighty God. Her dress itself, to her submission to God and her acceptance of Al-Islam as her way of life. Her modest dress, as well as behavior, manifests her attempt at following the orders of Allah stated in Holy Quran and the traditions of the Holy Last Messenger Muhammad ibn Abdullah (s.a.s.). For when she goes forth, her attire tells all that she is Muslim, and she wears her attire as a cloak of honor and dignity, for all to see, recognize, and respect. The relationship of the Muslim lady towards her husband and family members has also been explained in the Holy Quran. She is a loving wife, mother, responsible homemaker, devoted daughter, caring sister, reliable friend neighbor. She is an educator, nurse, facilitator, and councilor. It is her responsibility to see that her family's needs are attended to, if not by her husband, then just as capable. Towards her husband, a Muslim lady is friend, lover, advisor confidante, help-mate, and supervisor of his home. She is this way, because she her husband will obey the command from Almighty God to love, maintain, and protect her at all cost. Men are protectors and maintainers of women because Allah has given the one more strength than the other, and because they support them from their means. (Surah an-Nissaa:34). Because she has been given the assurance that she will be maintained, a Muslim lady does not have to go out to work; rather she can stay home and care for her family, which is her main responsibility. However, if she chooses to work, in the home or out, she may do so and is she chooses to aid her family financially, she may also do so, obtaining thereby Allahs blessings. Yet if she chooses not to aid financially, Allah has stated in the Holy Quran to women what they earn and to men what they earn. Since it is not the responsibility of a woman to maintain her family she does not have to do so, nor give any money to her family. And stay quietly in your houses, and make not a dazzling display of yourselves like that of the former times of ignorance. (Surah Ahzab:33). O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters and believing women that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad). (Surah Ahzab:59). Islam encourages that Muslim ladies stay home and tend to their families. However, it does not mean that ladies cannot go out for business, for family needs, for society needs, or just socially visiting family and friends. If Muslim ladies expected to only stay in the home, there would not have been rules and guidelines on how to dress and conduct oneself outside of the home. According to traditions of the Holy Last Messenger (s.a.s.), women receive many blessings for being home, yet she may leave her home for various reasons, and not incur Allah's displeasure. Hadith: The Prophet said to some women, "Those of you who stay at home will gain the action (merit) of the Mujahideen (those who strive in the path of Allah)." The Holy Prophet (s.a.s.) said, "If a wife of any of you should ask permission to go to the mosque, do not stop her." Muslim ladies may work outside of the home in jobs that do not her religion. For example, if she is not required to uncover herself, remain alone with a man who is not her relative, serve or associate around alcohol, pork, or drugs, etc... Muslim ladies are doctors, lawyers, teachers, business owners, bankers. They are also politically and socially involved in communities here and abroad. They fund-raisers human rights activists, and moral consciousness raisers. They may function in these
