Bismillah [IslamCity] The War on Iran: Bush, the emissary of Israel
The War on Iran: Bush, the emissary of Israel to moderate Arab leaders and Iran Dr. Adel Elsaie Jan. 16 2007 Source : http://www.usislam.org/itsajoke/War_%20on_%20Iran.htm Does anyone expect peace from George Bush visit to the the Middle East. This man is a war maniac, the word peace does not exist in his vocabulary. So what are the real reasons for his visit: Total support of Israel as usual, and ignore all the Palestinian legitimate issues: the daily massacres of Palestinians, illegal settlements, Jerusalem, and Palestinian refugees and prisoners freedom fighters. His main concern is security of Israel from the home-made Palestinian rockets launched from Gaza. He is confused if George Washington and his troop are terrorist or freedom fighters. After Bush left Israel, there are massacres every day of tens of Palestinians. It certainly looks like he have given Israel the green light to finish the Palestinians in Gaza, and hurt them very badly in the west bank. And what is worst, the 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza are under siege without electricity, food, gas, between Israel and Egypt both. This is really human tragedy, and Bush, and his puppet leaders in the Middle east are responsible. At least Egypt is honest, they have ministry of war, no one knows against what. But Israel has IDF, which is Israeli Defense Forces, which should be called Israeli Destruction Forces. Instigate more fear in the region about Iran and Syria, which are the closest unfriendly countries to Israel. Then sell weapons to moderate Arab countries for $20 billion . Furthermore, Robert Gates, the secretary of Defense offered the Gulf states to sell them the National Missile defense. The US Administration needs billions of dollars to offset a minute fraction of the money spent on their adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan. Emphasize the danger of Syria and Iran, the biggest supporters of Hezbollah, which is the biggest nightmare of Israel. Hezbollah defeated Israel in 2006 after a glorious battle that lasted 34 days. Bush, Pharaoh of earth, and his moderate kings and presidents replace the daily terror of Israel with a very far fetched terror that Iran will build Atomic bombs, and destroy its neighbors in the Middles east. The average citizen does not believe anything coming from the Pharaoh of earth. Bush is selling his vision of the war on terror as follows: first, secular Arabs fight Muslims; second, Sunnis fight Shias. So Israel can enjoy its security on the expense of destroying its neighbors. And the best scenario is that these neighbors destroy each other. Bush, Pharaoh of earth, push for more divisions between Arabic countries. During Othman Caliphate, all Arabic countries were 4 states: Arab Peninsula, ElSham (north of Arab Peninsula), Egypt and Sudan, and North Africa. Now they are 22 Arabic Countries. If Bush and Israel play their cards right, Iraq will be divided into 3 pieces, Palestine will be divided into 2 pieces, Sudan will be divided into 4 pieces, and the game is not over yet. Support the Arab moderate leaders , so they look more International leaders. Perhaps, the headlines of the moderate government Media , in the next weeks and months, will emphasize that Bush listened to the wisdom and vision of the president to solve all problems on Earth. Bush is never sincere with the Muslim world. He will always find puppets who are overwhelmed with fading American culture and technology, and who just want to keep their seats as long as they live, then give their seats as inheritance. Bush can't declare war on Iran, because of Congress and massive global opinion. But he can lie about Iran attack on the USA Navy. In this case he does not need the congress to approve war, because USA is under attack. Please remember all his lies before invading Iraq, and the CIA report that said clearly that Iran didn't have nuclear bomb program since 2003. Therefore it is no wonder how the Iranian boats provocation of the US Navy was blown out of proportion by the US Administration and the conservative US media. The Iranian provocation in the straits of Hormuz has set the stage for a new crisis manufactured wholly by the War Party in USA, the rationale for which is uncritically accepted by our passive mainstream media. We are expected to believe that five minuscule speedboats threatened the USS Hopper, a destroyer armed with missiles; the cruiser USS Port Royal; and the USS Ingraham, a frigate. That's rather like five rats threaten a trio of elephants. But that's not all. In addition to intercepting the American flotilla, CNN reports the Iranians supposedly issued explicit threats: In one radio transmission, the Iranians told the U.S. Navy: 'I am coming at you. You will explode in a couple of minutes,' the U.S. military officials told CNN. The Iranians, for their part, say nothing untoward
Bismillah [IslamCity] Death and Darkness in Gaza, People are dying, Help us!
Death and Darkness in Gaza, People are dying, Help us! A humanitarian crisis is underway as the Gaza Strip's only power plant began to shut down on Sunday, and the tiny coastal territory entered its third full day without shipments of vital food and fuel supplies due to Israel's punitive sanctions. The Gaza Strip's power plant has completely shut down on Sunday because it no longer has the fuel needed to keep running. One of the plant's two electricity-generating turbines had already shut down by noon. This will drastically reduce output to 25 or 30 megawatts, down from the 65 megawatts the plant produces under normal conditions. By Sunday evening the plant will shut down completely, leaving large swaths of the Gaza Strip in darkness. Omar Kittaneh, the head of the Palestine Energy Authority in Ramallah, confirmed that by tonight, the one remaining operating turbine will be powered down, and the Gaza power plant will no longer be generating any electricity at all. We have asked the Israeli government to reverse its decision and to supply fuel to operate the power plant, Dr. Kittaneh said. We have talked to the Israeli humanitarian coordination in their Ministry of Energy [National Infrastructure]. We say this is totally Israels responsibility, and that reducing the fuel supplies until the plant had to shut down will affect not only the electrical system but the water supply, and the entire infrastructure in Gaza everything. After months of increasingly harsh sanctions, Israel imposed a total closure on the Strip's border crossings, even preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid. The Israeli government says the closure is punishment for an ongoing barrage of Palestinian homemade projectiles fired from the Gaza Strip. Famine 180 fuel stations have shut down after Gaza residents to buy gas for cooking. A Palestinian economist Hasan Abu Ramadan said the current humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip will be deepened by the blockade on fuel and food supplies. He warned that Gaza Strip could go from a situation of deep poverty to all out famine, disease, and malnutrition. Abu Ramadan said that more than 80% of the Strip's 1.5 million residents have been surviving with the help of food aid from international organizations such as UNRWA for Palestinian refugees. International condemnation Most international actors in the region believe there already is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, including the UN's Emergency Relief Coordinator, the Undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs John Holmes, who said at a press conference at UNHQ in New York on Friday that This kind of action against the people in Gaza cannot be justified, even by those rocket attacks. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon expressed particular concern, in a statement issued later on Friday through his spokesperson, about the decision by Israel to close the crossing points in between Gaza and Israel used for the delivery of humanitarian assistance. Such action cuts off the population from much-needed fuel supplies used to pump water and generate electricity to homes and hospitals. The UN Human Rights Council's Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied territories, John Dugard, also issued a much sharper statement on Friday, saying that Israel must have foreseen the loss of life and injury to many nearby civilians when it targeted the Ministry of Interior building in Gaza City. This, and the killings of other Palestinians during the week, plus the closures, raise very serious questions about Israel's respect for international law and its Commitment to the peace process, Dugard said. He said it violates the strict prohibition on collective punishment contained in the Fourth Geneva Convention, and one of the basic principles of international humanitarian law: that military action must distinguish between military targets and civilian targets. http://www.freegaza.ps/english/index.php?scid=100id=262extra=newstype=40 With Regards Abi - Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Bismillah [IslamCity] The Smart Apostates or are they?
The Smart Apostates or are they? By Sami Zaatari Robert Spencer's side kick and fellow anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim advocate of hate crimes against Muslims Hugh Fitzgerald has come out with a rather interesting and quite funny article. In his latest piece of trying to insult Muslims Hugh argues that those who leave Islam are intellectually superior and have higher morals than those who convert to Islam, I guess that pretty much throws respect for each other out the window since this Christian neo-con is basically saying those who convert to Islam are not smart, have no morals, and on it goes, and then these same type of Christians turn around and say they love and respect you and they don't insult at all, oh well they must learn from Paul. Hugh gives a list of these supposedly superior apostates who have left Islam, the Christian neo-con who worships a god who dies writes: Islam is quite different from what the naïve revert may think. Those who are born into Islam and have managed to defect or escape are intellectually and morally superior people. These include Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Ibn Warraq and Ali Sina and Azam Kamguian and Irfan Khawaja and a great many more. I must say I had to hold myself from laughing; Hugh places Ali Sina as an intellectual smart man with high morals! I have already documented Ali Sina as being mentally unstable, and that he is also a terrorist, you can check up on both these articles on these links: http://muslim-responses.com/Ali_Sinas_Mental_State/Ali_Sinas_Mental_State_ and http://muslim-responses.com/Ali_Sina_the_Terrorist/Ali_Sina_the_Terrorist_ When you read those links you will see Ali Sina advocating the slaughter of all Muslims, he says that Muslims should be nuked! And this is the man whom Hugh claims is a very intellectual and moral man, it is quite clear Hugh is a very sick deranged neo-con in serious need of mental help, oh yes I forgot he's the good guy and were the bad guys. As for the other person whom Hugh lists as being an intellectual and moral person is Ayaan Hirsi Ali, indeed she is the biggest clown of all. Hirsi Ali was deported and kicked out of the Netherlands for forging fake documents about her supposed citizenship! So what do we have so far, we have Ali Sina the man with a mental problem who calls for Muslims to be nuked, and we have Hirsi Ali who forges documents about her citizenship and gets deported, how lovely! I could go on to expose the others on the list as jokes as well, but I think the point has been proven, Hugh's desperation has been quite exposed, I really implore Robert Spencer to hire better side-kicks than this Hugh because he really does a bad job. But now let us silence the lies of Hugh, he claims those who convert to Islam are not smart, and have lower morals, to begin with what exactly is good morals according to Hugh? According to Hugh open sex, alcohol, strip clubs, and all these types of things are morally okay in his society! Hence Hugh's definition of moral doesn't really count because this is a man who most likely fornicates every weekend down at his local bar or at least he used to when he was a young good Christian man. Let us now bring forth a list of some very smart and intellectual and moral people who have converted to Islam: Abdullah al-Faruq - Formerly Kenneth L. Jenkins, minister and elder of the Pentecostal Church Anselm Tormeeda - 14th century CE scholar and priest Khadijah 'Sue' Watson - Former pastor, missionary, professor. Master's degree in Divinity Dr. Jerald F. Dirks - Former minister (deacon) of the United Methodist Church. He holds a Master's degree in Divinity from Harvard University and a Doctorate in Psychology from the University of Denver. Author of The Cross and the Crescent: An Interfaith Dialogue between Christianity and Islam (ISBN 1-59008-002-5 - Amana Publications, 2001). He has published over 60 articles in the field of clinical psychology, and over 150 articles on Arabian horses (http://www.missionislam.com/comprel/former.htm) These are just a few; these people actually have real PHD'S and not forged documents like Hirsi Ali and unlike Ali Sina who has nothing! Here are some more: Józef Zachariasz Bem, Bem József a national here of Poland and Hungary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3zef_Bem) Alexander Russell Webb - American journalist, newspaper owner, and former Consul-General of the U.S.A. in the Philippines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Russell_Webb) Timothy Winter (also known as Shaykh Abdal-Hakim Murad) is a prominent British Islamic thinker and scholar, and a lecturer in Islamic studies in the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge. He is a convert to Islam. Winter is one of the very few contemporary Muslim thinkers who is equally well-versed in both the Islamic
Bismillah [IslamCity] How Barack Obama learned to love Israel!
How Barack Obama learned to love Israel Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, 4 March 2007 (EI Illustration) I first met Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama almost ten years ago when, as my representative in the Illinois state senate, he came to speak at the University of Chicago. He impressed me as progressive, intelligent and charismatic. I distinctly remember thinking 'if only a man of this calibre could become president one day.' On Friday Obama gave a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in Chicago. It had been much anticipated in American Jewish political circles which buzzed about his intensive efforts to woo wealthy pro-Israel campaign donors who up to now have generally leaned towards his main rival Senator Hillary Clinton. Reviewing the speech, Ha'aretz Washington correspondent Shmuel Rosner concluded that Obama sounded as strong as Clinton, as supportive as Bush, as friendly as Giuliani. At least rhetorically, Obama passed any test anyone might have wanted him to pass. So, he is pro-Israel. Period. Israel is our strongest ally in the region and its only established democracy, Obama said, assuring his audience that we must preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs. Such advanced multi-billion dollar systems he asserted, would help Israel deter missile attacks from as far as Tehran and as close as Gaza. As if the starved, besieged and traumatized population of Gaza are about to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles. Obama offered not a single word of criticism of Israel, of its relentless settlement and wall construction, of the closures that make life unlivable for millions of Palestinians. There was no comfort for the hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza who live in the dark, or the patients who cannot get dialysis, because of what Israeli human rights group B'Tselem termed one cold, calculated decision, made by Israel's prime minister, defense minister, and IDF chief of staff last summer to bomb the only power plant in Gaza, a decision that had nothing to do with the attempts to achieve [the] release [of a captured soldier] nor any other military need. It was a gratuitous war crime, one of many condemned by human rights organizations, against an occupied civilian population who under the Fourth Geneva Convention Israel is obligated to protect. From left to right, Michelle Obama, then Illinois state senator Barack Obama, Columbia University Professor Edward Said and Mariam Said at a May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago at which Edward Said gave the keynote speech. (Image from archives of Ali Abunimah) While constantly emphasizing his concern about the threat Israelis face from Palestinians, Obama said nothing about the exponentially more lethal threat Israelis present to Palestinians. In 2006, according to B'Tselem, Israeli occupation forces killed 660 Palestinians of whom 141 were children -- triple the death toll for 2005. In the same period, 23 Israelis were killed by Palestinians, half the number of 2005 (by contrast, 500 Israelis die each year in road accidents). But Obama was not entirely insensitive to ordinary lives. He recalled a January 2006 visit to the Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona that resembled an ordinary American suburb where he could imagine the sounds of Israeli children at joyful play just like my own daughters. He saw a home the Israelis told him was damaged by a Hizbullah rocket (no one had been hurt in the incident). Six months later, Obama said, Hizbullah launched four thousand rocket attacks just like the one that destroyed the home in Kiryat Shmona, and kidnapped Israeli service members. Obama's phrasing suggests that Hizbullah launched thousands of rockets in an unprovoked attack, but it's a complete distortion. Throughout his speech he showed a worrying propensity to present discredited propaganda as fact. As anyone who checks the chronology of last summer's Lebanon war will easily discover, Hizbullah only launched lethal barrages of rockets against Israeli towns and cities after Israel had heavily bombed civilian neighborhoods in Lebanon killing hundreds of civilians, many fleeing the Israeli onslaught. Obama excoriated Hizbullah for using innocent people as shields. Indeed, after dozens of civilians were massacred in an Israeli air attack on Qana on July 30, Israel initially claimed that the military targeted the house because Hezbollah fighters had fired rockets from the area, according to an August 2 statement from Human Rights Watch. The statement added: Human Rights Watch researchers who visited Qana on July 31, the day after the attack, did not find any destroyed military equipment in or near the home. Similarly, none of the dozens of international journalists,

Bismillah [IslamCity] Is Bible God's Word? Watch the most powerful Debate by Deedat.
Assalamo Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahe Wa Barakatahu. *Is Bible God's Word? - Deedat vs Pastor Stanley Sjoberg in Sweden*http://www.biharanjuman.org/Deedat/Ahmad-Deedat-Is-Bible-God's-Word-debating-Stanley-Sjoberg.htm *[One of the most powerful debates in modern history. In Sweden Mr Deedat debated pentecostal pastor Stanley Sjöberg för two evenings in October 1991. ]* ** their own countries. This was the first time that this prestigious award has been awarded to a South African. The recipient of this award was a man totally dedicated to his faith and its propagation and who was not afraid to challenge any one to a debate to settle once and for all the matter, who has the good news right? He was none other than Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, reverently known and called UNCLE by those who hold him in high esteem and admiration. The award came after a lifetime of struggle to propagate Islam and to defend Islam against the onslaught of the missionaries. Finally, he was given recognition by the international Muslim community that he deserved and focused more sharply the attention of the Muslim world on the most important aspect of his work, the challenge to propagate Islam. This was his life long ambition to focus the Muslim world's attention and resources on the propagation of Islam, and at last he succeeded. What a moment of jubilation, achievement and personal gratification for Sheikh Deedat the award was, a turning point in his life. Sheikh Deedat did not have much formal schooling, but he was self-taught through experience and a penchant for reading, debating, discussion, and a profound sense of commitment to a mission and goal. He was driven and goal oriented. He was focused and never let up until the job was done. He was sharp, perceptive, forthright, fiery, and daring in his challenge of those whom he debated, particularly against those who equal his missionary zeal and sense of audacity. Formal schooling did not destroy his creative prowess, his tenacity, ambition, drive, and sheer daring to swim upstream. Sheikh Deedat was more a scholar of the Bible than the Qur'an, and was more familiar and adroit with its teachings. He had an insight and perspective of the Bible which made many Christians he came into contact with rethink and re-examine their faith, particularly those aspects of the Bible and the Qur'an that deal with the divine mission and life of Prophet Jesus. On May 3, 1996, Sheikh Ahmed Deedat suffered a stroke which left him paralyzed from the neck down, and also meant that he could no longer speak or swallow. He was flown to a hospital in Riyadh, where he was taught to communicate through a series of eye-movements. He spent the last nine years of his life in a bed in his home in Verulam, South Africa, encouraging people to engage in da'wah. He continued to receive hundreds of letters of support from around the world. During these years, rumors spread throughout the Internet that he was already dead, and even some websites that contained his pamphlets mentioned as early as 2002 that he was dead. On August 8, 2005, Ahmed Deedat finally succumbed to his prolonged illness and died at his home in Trevennen Road, Verulam in the province of KwaZulu Natal.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Hadith: Shahi Bukhari....Book 3 : Knowledge....Hadith no ...066 - 070.
Hadith: Shahi Bukhari Book 3 : Knowledge Volumn 001, Book 003, Hadith Number 066. - Narated By Abu Waqid Al-Laithi : While Allah's Apostle was sitting in the mosque with some people, three men came. Two of them came in front of Allah's Apostle and the third one went away. The two persons kept on standing before Allah's Apostle for a while and then one of them found a place in the circle and sat there while the other sat behind the gathering, and the third one went away. When Allah's Apostle finished his preaching, he said, Shall I tell you about these three persons? One of them be-took himself to Allah, so Allah took him into His grace and mercy and accommodated him, the second felt shy from Allah, so Allah sheltered Him in His mercy (and did not punish him), while the third turned his face from Allah and went away, so Allah turned His face from him likewise. Volumn 001, Book 003, Hadith Number 067. - Narated By 'Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakra's father : Once the Prophet was riding his camel and a man was holding its rein. The Prophet asked, What is the day today? We kept quiet, thinking that he might give that day another name. He said, Isn't it the day of Nahr (slaughtering of the animals of sacrifice) We replied, Yes. He further asked, Which month is this? We again kept quiet, thinking that he might give it another name. Then he said, Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja? We replied, Yes. He said, Verily! Your blood, property and honour are sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours and in this city of yours. It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform those who are absent because those who are absent might comprehend (what I have said) better than the present audience. Volumn 001, Book 003, Hadith Number 068. - Narated By Ibn Mas'ud : The Prophet used to take care of us in preaching by selecting a suitable time, so that we might not get bored. (He abstained from pestering us with sermons and knowledge all the time). Volumn 001, Book 003, Hadith Number 069. - Narated By Anas bin Malik : The Prophet said, Facilitate things to people (concerning religious matters), and do not make it hard for them and give them good tidings and do not make them run away (from Islam). Volumn 001, Book 003, Hadith Number 070. - Narated By Abu Wail : 'Abdullah used to give a religious talk to the people on every Thursday. Once a man said, O Aba 'Abdur-Rahman!

Bismillah [IslamCity] Forced Annulment
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SAUDI_FORCED_DIVORCE?SITE=ORLAGSECTION=HOMETEMPLATE=DEFAULT Sun Jan 20, 4:14 PM EST Forced Annulment Keeps Couple Apart By DONNA ABU-NASR Associated Press Writer AP Photo/HASAN JAMALI RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Two years ago, a knock on Fatima and Mansour al-Timani's door shattered the life they had built together. It was the police, delivering news that a judge had annulled their marriage in absentia after some of Fatima's relatives sought the divorce on grounds she had married beneath her. That was just the beginning of an ordeal for a couple who - under Saudi Arabia's strict segregation rules - can no longer live together. They sued to reverse the ruling, publicized their story and sought help from a Saudi human rights group. But the two remain apart and Fatima said she is considering suicide if her recent appeal to King Abdullah does not reunite her with her husband. Only the king can resolve my case, Fatima told The Associated Press by telephone in a rare interview. I want to return to my husband, but if that is not possible, I need to know so I can put an end to my life. Fatima's case underscores shortcomings in the kingdom's Islamic legal system in which rules of evidence are shaky, lawyers are not always present and sentences often depend on the whim of judges. The most frequent victims are women, who already suffer severe restrictions on daily life in Saudi Arabia: They cannot drive, appear before a judge without a male representative, or travel abroad without a male guardian's permission. Recently, the king did intervene and pardon another high-profile defendant - a rape victim who was sentenced to lashes and jail time for being in a car with a man who was not her relative. The two cases have brought Saudi human rights once again into the international spotlight, revealing not only the weakness of the kingdom's justice system, but the scant rights of Saudi women. When I heard that the (rape victim) was pardoned, I couldn't believe it. My case is so much simpler than hers, since my divorce is invalid, Fatima said. Fatima said her husband, a hospital administrator, followed Saudi tradition in asking her father for permission to marry her in 2003. My brother reported good things about him, so my dad accepted his proposal, said Fatima, a computer specialist who was 29 when she married. She said her father knew that Mansour came from a less prominent tribe than hers, but that he did not mind because he cared about the man himself. A few months after the wedding, several of Fatima's relatives, including a half brother, persuaded her father to give them power of attorney to file a lawsuit demanding an annulment, she said. Then her father died, and Fatima said she had hoped the case would be dropped. But on Feb. 25, 2006, police knocked on the couple's door to serve Mansour with divorce papers - which said his marriage had been annulled nine months earlier. We were shattered. How did this happen? Why? Fatima asked. Under Saudi law, a woman needs the permission of her family to marry. Saudi lawyer Abdul-Rahman al-Lahem, who used to represent the couple, said local interpretations of Islamic law hold that relatives of a married couple have the right to seek an annulment if they feel the marriage lowers the extended family's status. He said authorities are reluctant to overrule such annulment orders, believing they are private matters within extended families. Fatima took the couple's 2-year-old daughter and 4-month-old son to live with her mother, who had persuaded her to let Mansour deal with the legal issues on his own. But after three months without her husband, Fatima and the children sneaked out of her mother's house and flew with Mansour to the western seaside city of Jiddah, where they sought to live in anonymity. Saudi police soon discovered them and imprisoned the family for living together illegally. The police told me I either return to my (mother's) family or go to jail, Fatima said. I chose jail. My children and I were thrown in a cell with women sentenced for pushing drugs, practicing witchcraft and behaving immorally, Fatima said. Authorities allowed her to send her daughter back to live with her father, but the infant stayed with Fatima in jail. He learned to speak in jail, he learned to walk in jail and his teeth came out in jail, she said. Meanwhile, Mansour went to court to appeal the divorce ruling, but a Riyadh appeals court upheld the decision in 2007. Last September, the head of a prominent Saudi human rights group reportedly asked the kingdom's highest court to review the case. Bandar al-Hajjar, head of the National Society of Human Rights,
Bismillah [IslamCity] Ahadith Qudsi-25
Ahadith Qudsi-25 Paradise is surrounded with hardships whereas Hell is encompassed with lusts 25) Narrated Abu Huraira (r.a) that Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said: When Allah created Paradise, He ordered Jibrael: Go and see it. So he went and saw it. Then he returned and said: O Lord, By Your glory! Who hears of it would love entering it. Then He encompassed it with unpleasant things (hardships of worship) and said: O Jibrael! Go (again) and see it. So he went away to look at it. Then he came back and said: O lord, By Your glory! I fear that no one will enter it. The prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: When Allah created Hell, He said: O Jibrael, go and see it. So he went and saw it. Then he turned up and said: O Lord, By Your glory! No one who hears of it will enter it. So He encompassed it with lusts (worldy desires) and said: O Jibrael! Go back and see it. He went again to see it and came back saying: O Lord, By Your glory! I fear that no one will escape from entering it. (This Hadith is fair and reported by Abu Daud, tirmidhi, Nasa'I, Ahmad in Musnad and Al-Hakim in Mustadrak) Allah has promised to give paradise in reward to those who do good deeds for His sake. But man is misguided by the Satan and worldly lusts which cause him to do bad deeds that lead to Hell. He who undergoes hardships in the cause of Allah; these hardships will lead him to the enternal abode of pleasures. *** Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) Having Allahs Statements.

Bismillah [IslamCity] LIFE after DEATH - The Great Reality
Is there any life for death; if so, what kind of life is it? This question lies far beyond the ken of our perception. We do not have the eyes with which we could see beyond the frontiers of worldly life and find out what lies on beyond it. We do not have the ears with which we could hear anything from beyond these frontiers. Nor do we have any instrument by which we could determine with certainty whether there is any life beyond death. Therefore, the question whether there is any life after death lies completely outside the province of scientific knowledge which is concerned with the classification and interpretation of sense data. Anyone who asserts in the name of science that there is no life after death, therefore, makes a very unscientific statement. Merely on the basis of scientific knowledge, we can neither affirm that there is a life after death nor deny it. Until we discover a dependable means of acquiring knowledge about this matter, the correct scientific attitude would be neither to affirm nor to deny the possibility of life after death. The question is beyond its jurisdiction. A little reflection should help us to see that the question of life after death is not merely a philosophical question; it is deeply and intimately related to our everyday life. In fact our moral attitude depends entirely upon this question .
