Boycott Israel [IslamCity] MUSHY - Your TIME is Up Says the CRUSADER
Your TEMPORARY Ally Accreditation is Withdrawn Forthwith. You Have Done Our DIRTY Work to Our Satisfaction Although Lately We Were Not Satisfied With Your RAMBLINGS. It is Time to Move On. We Will Get Either Benny or Nawaz to Do the Balance Dirty Work for Us. So Long My FRIEND. God BLESS America. - GWB Musharraf - Beginning of the End? By M Ilyas Khan BBC News, Karachi http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6961172.stm The Pakistan Supreme Court's decision to allow exiled former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to return to the country leaves Gen Pervez Musharraf between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, there is a new grouping of opposition parties, the APDM, determined to throw the military ruler out of power by street protests and through the courts. On the other, there is the PPP, the largest political party in the country, which says it is willing to work with him - but only as a civilian president under an overhauled parliamentary system in which the prime minister dominates. Many say this is exactly the situation that Gen Musharraf was trying to prevent when he "suspended" the country's top judge in March. But unexpectedly for most observers, Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry decided to fight back, and started a process of mass mobilisation that now threatens to rip through the army-led political set-up in the country. Bitter rivals In July, the Supreme Court restored Justice Chaudhry, greatly embarrassing the government. Now, as some observers put it, it has helped "resurrect" Gen Musharraf's bitterest rival. Nawaz Sharif sacked Gen Musharraf as army chief in October 1999, and ordered an aircraft carrying him and more than 200 other passengers back from Sri Lanka to be prevented from landing at Karachi airport. The military reacted by staging a coup, deposed Mr Sharif and charged him with endangering the lives of the passengers in what came to be known as the "hijacking case". He was sentenced to life in prison. In 2000, Gen Musharraf pardoned him and sent him into exile in Saudi Arabia for 10 years under a controversial deal whose details are still not fully known. But last month Mr Sharif approached the Supreme Court, pleading his right under the constitution to return to the country. It agreed. Counter strategy Just as pro-Sharif activists celebrated outside the Supreme Court in Islamabad, Gen Musharraf was chairing a meeting of top aides in nearby President House to discuss the emerging scenario. Analysts say one option the government may exercise to contain Mr Sharif is to arrest him as he enters the country. Corruption cases have been reopened against Mr Sharif and his family. Government lawyers have also indicated that his conviction in the "hijacking" case may be "revived". Independent legal experts say the higher courts are unlikely to agree because the conviction ended with a presidential pardon, as provided for in the constitution. In the corruption cases, experts say, the government can only hope to confine Mr Sharif for a limited period of time as he could well be granted bail. So the prospects for Gen Musharraf are not encouraging. Fierce agitation His term as president comes to an end in November, after which he will need to be re-elected by parliament in order to continue in office. The term of parliament itself runs out in October, and national elections will have to be held before that to elect a new parliament. Gen Musharraf wants to be re-elected from the current parliament in which his loyalists have a majority, and also wants to remain army chief. His plans are not likely to stand the test of law. In addition, opposition groups united under the newly-formed APDM alliance are threatening street protests if Gen Musharraf tries to have himself re-elected. Analysts expect this campaign to grow even fiercer when Mr Sharif, who heads the largest party in the alliance, is personally present in the country to lead it. His return is also likely to spark defections from the pro-Musharraf wing of the Pakistan Muslim League, which contains former supporters of Mr Sharif who the military persuaded to defect after he went into exile. Lame-duck president The only other option left for Gen Musharraf, say analysts, is to strike a deal with another former Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto, whose PPP has stayed out of the APDM. But even then, Thursday's court ruling has left Gen Musharraf with fewer bargaining chips against Ms Bhutto than he had earlier. He has been delaying the implementation of a "deal" that Ms Bhutto claims she clinched with the government following year-long negotiations. In recent interviews, she has indicated broad contours of the deal that include legal re-adjustments to abolish a two-term limit on prime ministerial candidates, re-balancing of powers between the presidency and the parliam

Re: Boycott Israel [IslamCity] can you trust a Muslim?
Thankyou for the information. I asked because i am now spending alot of my time with my Muslim friends but i have seen some deceipt and have felt uncomfortable with it. Those involved tried to tell me the Qur'an allowed deceipt if it was for a good cause, but i have seen people get hurt badly by it. How can that be good? Linda [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi there Linda, The Prophetic teaching is that 'He who deceives us is not of us'. In another saying the Messenger Muhammed Peace & Blessings of God be upon him says that a Muslim can not lie! There are times when 'lying' is permissible - such as in warfare - or when the lives of people are at stake etc (i.e. bank robbery, the robber starts shooting -and asks you where are the bank tellers hiding - you do not go and tell them - as they kill them etc). Muslims are urged to be truthful people. This needs to be inculcated at a young age in the children, as trying to teach manners to people who have not had the oportunity is quite difficult. Lying, deception cheating, stealing etc are all sins, and punishable in the hereafter, or even in this world by the law. Another instance where 'lying' is permissible is to make up between two friends/ married couples etc. But in generality, a Muslim is meant to be someone whom others are safe from their hands (any form of harm that is - whether deception, abuse, being cheated or hit etc). The ideals are exceptional -and it is up to the devotees to do their best to fulfill the comandments. May God make it easy for us all to follow this beautiful way of life.

Many were English teachers or medical professionals.

Today, Christians in Asia number 350 million, up from about 20 million in 1900, according to statistics from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity.

A small number of Catholic missionaries came in the late 18th century; their Protestant counterparts arrived about 100 years later. But it wasn't until the 1960s that the number of Christians began to increase dramatically.

The WESTERN World Palestinians Prefer Pro-West Govt Mohammed Mari & Agencies http://arabnews.com/?page=4§ion=0&article=100368&d=24&m=8&y=2007 RAMALLAH/JERUSALEM, 24 August 2007 Palestinians prefer the Western-backed government of Salam Fayyad to the sacked Cabinet of Hamas Premier Ismail Haniyeh, according to an opinion poll published yesterday. The poll published by the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center (JMCC) following Hamas control over the Gaza Strip found that a majority of the Palestinian public, 46.7 percent, generally believes that the situation in the Gaza Strip worsened following Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip, compared with 27.1 percent who think that the situation has improved. The poll also found that respondents blamed Hamas for the deadly internal fighting that preceded the takeover, and support early elections, as called for by President Mahmoud Abbas. The majority of Gazans, however, feel their security has improved since the Hamas rout. Fighters from the Islamist Hamas overran security forces loyal to Abbas, leader of the secular Fatah party, on June 15. Afterward, the president fired the Hamas-led unity Cabinet and appointed Fayyad, a respected economist, to head a government of independents, a move not recognized by Hamas. When asked to evaluate the performance of the Fayyad and Haniyeh Cabinets, 46.7 percent said Fayyads was better, compared with 24.1 percent who said it was worse and 22.8 percent who said they were similar. When asked who was to blame for the deadly factional clashes in Gaza that preceded the Hamas takeover, 43.5 percent said Hamas, 28.4 percent chose Fatah and 17.5 said both. The breakdown for respondents in the Gaza Strip was little different from the territories as a whole with 40.7 percent, 30.9 percent and 17.7 percent respectively. When asked to describe the situation in Gaza after the Hamas takeover, 46.7 percent said it was worse, compared with 27.1 percent who said it was better, and 21.1 percent who said it had not changed. In Gaza, the figures were 45.2 percent, 34.1 percent and 20 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, Hamas supremo Khaled Meshaal said efforts to end the bitter feud with Abbas were deadlocked because of Israeli and US meddling, and insisted his men would stay in control of Gaza. And he warned in an interview with AFP that despite renewed efforts to forge peace between Israel and the Palestinians, resistance remained the only option for Hamas, whose charter calls for the destruction of the Jewish state. Mediation efforts are at an impasse because they (Abbas Fatah faction) have shut all the doors and rejected Palestinian and other Arab mediation, including initiatives by some Fatah officials, Meshaal told Agence France Presse in Amman in a telephone interview from Syria. Israeli and American interference is responsible for blocking the reconciliation, he said. Meshaal said: We have not taken Gaza in order to give it back to them... We have defended our legitimacy against warlords who were preparing a coup with the help of the Americans and the Israelis. Abbas Makes Election Law Changes http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6975099.stm Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has announced changes in the election law which could boost his Fatah party against rivals Hamas. Under the new law, Palestinians will vote solely for party lists, while voting by district will be eliminated. Hamas, which took control of the Gaza Strip after fighting with Fatah in June, described the move as illegal. Mr Abbas revealed the changes as he met EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Mr Solana is having talks with Palestinian and Israeli leaders to help prepare for an international Middle East peace conference planned for later this year. Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is special envoy for the Middle East peace sponsoring group known as the Quartet, is expected in the region later on Sunday. 'No right' Palestinian officials said the decree on election law had already been signed and would be published later in the day. The decree also requires all election candidates to recognise the Fatah-dominated Palestine Liberation Organisation as the "sole, legitimate representative" of the Palestinian people, a position not accepted by Hamas. Hamas condemned Mr Abbas' move. "The presid
Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Companions of the Prophet Muhammad. Who were they and why are they so important?

*Companions of the Prophet Muhammad. Who were they and why are they so
important? *
MENTION is often made of the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him). Just who were they and why are they so important?
A Companion is anyone, man or woman, who met the Prophet (pbuh) - whether
for a short or long period - and who died while still Muslim. Many of the
Companions were relatives, wives, servants, or close friends of the Prophet.
The details of the Prophet's life - including his words, deeds, and
reactions to events - have been handed down to us through the Companions.
These accounts form the collection of Hadiths from which we derive the
Sunnah, which is the second basis of Islamic law after the Qur'an.
The Companions, men and women, are exemplars of faith. The earliest Muslims
suffered terrible torments at the hands of the Quraish, the ruling tribe of
Makkah. Those who emigrated from Makkah left behind their homes and
families, even all their worldly possessions, to follow the call of Islam.
Many of them were fearless. One of them ('Ali Bin Abi Talib) was willing to
take the place of the Prophet (pbuh) in his bed when the Quraish were
planning to assassinate Muhammad (pbuh) in his sleep. Another, a woman
(Nusaybah Bint Ka'b), protected the Prophet in the Battle of Uhud. Many
others fought fearlessly in the battles to defend their faith.
The Companions memorized the verses of the Qur'an as they were revealed, and
those who were lettered wrote the verses down. So many of them devoted
themselves to memorizing the entire Qur'an that when Zayd Bin Thabit was
tasked with compiling one standard copy, he was able to assure there were no
errors in writing by comparing his copy to the memorization of the
Companions. Allah promised to protect His Qur'an, and it was through the
efforts of the great Companions (and their later followers) that He did so.
Reading through the biographies of the Companions, one is struck by their
devotion. Several of them were noted for their ascetic way of life. Others
were noted for their extreme generosity. Still others were noted for their
piety and fear of Allah's wrath - even for sins they had committed before
they embraced Islam, although embracing Islam effaced their sins. Because
some of the Companions were in such close contact with the Prophet (pbuh)
and familiar with his sayings and doings, their opinions on jurisprudence
were often sought and remain recorded in books. Many of the Companions,
including his wife A'ishah, survived the Prophet by several decades and were
able to pass on their knowledge to two or three generations.
Thus we owe a great deal to the Companions of the Prophet, and we honor and
respect them all.

ZAKAT CALCULATOR Download Zakat Calculator Click here Alhamdulillah, the month of Ramadhan has been bestowed upon us by Allah. ZAKAT is one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam, mandatory on all muslims who are of eligible wealth. Zakat is due from and payable by a person on his wealth (and not his income), which has remained with him/her for one Islamic year. It is difficult to calculate the completion of one year on each item of wealth, because purchase dates may vary. To overcome this difficulty, a practical method is to fix a date (e.g. 1st of Ramadhan), compute your total wealth on that date and calculate Zakat, thereon.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Bamboo
S  The Bamboo Once upon a time, in the heart of the Western Kingdom, lay a beautiful garden. And there, in the cool of the day, the Master of the garden was wont to walk. Of all the denizens of the garden, the most beautiful and most beloved was gracious and noble bamboo. Year after year, bamboo grew yet more noble and gracious, conscious of his Master's love and watchful delight, but modest and gentle withal. And often when the wind came to revel in the garden, Bamboo would cast aside his grave stateliness, to dance and play right merrily, tossing and swaying and leaping and bowing in joyous abandon, leading the Great Dance of the garden, Which most delighted the Master's heart. Now, once upon a day, the Master himself drew near to contemplate his Bamboo with eyes of curious expectancy. And Bamboo, in a passion of adoration, bowed his great head to the ground in loving greeting. The Master spoke: "Bamboo, Bamboo, I would use you." Bamboo flung his head to the sky in utter delight. The day of days had come, the day for which he had been made, the day to which he had been growing hour by hour, the day in which he would find his completion and his destiny. His voice came low: "Master, I'm ready. Use me as Thou wilt." "Bamboo," â The Master's voice was grave --- "I would have to take you and cut you down!" A trembling of great horror shook Bambooâ¦"Cut â¦me⦠down ? Me.. who thou, Master, has made the most beautiful in all thy Gardenâ¦cut me down! Ah, not that. Not that. Use me for the joy, use me for the glory, oh master, but cut me not down!" Beloved Bamboo,"âThe Master's voice grew graver stillâ"If I cut you not down, I cannot use you." The garden grew still. Wind held his breath. Bamboo slowly bent his proud and glorious head. There was a whisper: "Master, if thou cannot use me other than to cut me down.. then do thy will and cut". "Bamboo, beloved Bamboo, I would cut your leaves and branches from you also". "Master, spare me. Cut me down and lay my beauty in the dust; but would thou also have to take from me, my leaves and branches too?" "Bamboo, if I cut them not away, I cannot use you." The Sun hid his face. A listening butterfly glided fearfully away. And Bamboo shivered in terrible expectancy, whispering low: "Master, cut away" "Bamboo, Bamboo, I would yet⦠split you in two and cut out your heart, for if I cut not so, I cannot use you." Then Bamboo bowed to the ground: "Master, Master⦠then cut and split." So did the Master of the garden took Bamboo⦠and cut him downâ¦and hacked off his branchesâ¦and stripped off his leavesâ¦and split him in twoâ¦and cut out his heart. And lifting him gently, carried him to where there was a spring of fresh sparkling water in the midst of his dry fields. Then putting one end of the broken Bamboo in the spring and the other end into the water channel in His field, the Master laid down gently his beloved Bamboo⦠And the spring sang welcome, and the clear sparkling waters raced joyously down the channel of bamboo's torn body into the waiting fields. Then the rice was planted, and the days went by, and the shoots grew and the harvest came. In that day Bamboo, once so glorious in his stately beauty, was yet more glorious in his brokenness and humility. For in his beauty he was life abundant, but in his brokenness he became a channel of abundant life to his Master's world. Let`s ponder on our own lives and think how much we can sacrifice for the sake of our Master, Allah swt to spread peace and happiness.. .

Re: Boycott Israel [IslamCity] After a Grave Sin

Fi Amanillah Abu Khadijah [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We have to live our lives according to the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah. So when a person commits theft, his/her hand should be cut off. Same goes for other punishments prescribed by the sunnah. I hear alot of scholars say that when a person commits a great sin , they should repent. Repentance alone does not expiate for ones sins. The punishment one might recieve in this world is nothing like the punishment in the next. So it would be better to receive the legal punishment in this world.
