Bismillah [IslamCity] The Camel Given In Charity
Fwd Email: The Camel Given In Charity I would like to share this short Story with you which was narrated to us by Dr. Saleh as-Saleh (May Allah Have Mercy upon him) in his room Understanding- islam1. You can listen to the audio The Camel Given In Charity The Sheikh began: Do you want hear this real story which took place here about a hundred years ago. (In Saudi) Tayib. This is real! This is real! He continued: Bismilaahi Rahmaani Raheem. This story took place here about hundred years ago and it was also broadcasted on the radio stations. It is about a man call Ibn Jad'aan. He (Ibn Jad'aan) said how during Spring times he used to go out. He would see good and healthy fat camels and their udders filled to the extent of almost exploding. Whenever the little offspring (i.e. the calf) came close to the mother camel, her milk would pour forth because of the great abundance of blessings and abundance of goodness. So I (Ibn Jad'aan) looked at one of my she camels with her calf and I remembered my poor neighbour who had seven young daughters. So I said to myself, by Allah I will give this camel and her calf as Sadaqah (charity) to my neighbour - and he recited the Ayah where Allah said in (Surah Al-imraan: 92): By no means Shall you Attain piety righteousness unless you spend in Allah's cause of which that you love And the most beloved from amongst my cattle, to me, is this she-camel. So I took her along with her calf and knocked on the door of my neighbour. I told him to accept it as a gift from me. I saw his face glooming with happiness and he was unable to utter anything in response. So he benefitted from its milk and used to load wood on its back, awaiting for its offspring to grow up in order to sell them. Subsequently, he gained great good from this camel. After the spring had passed, the dry summer came with its drought, and so the Bedouins began looking for water and grass. We gathered our belongings and left our places looking for water and the duhool (plural of duhul) or 'holes' in the earth, situated underground leading to water traps underneath the ground. Their openings are on top of the ground, as the Bedouins know of very well. I (i.e. Ibn Jad'aan) entered into one of these holes so as to bring some water to drink... Dr Saleh continued: and his (Ibn Jad'aan's) three sons were waiting for him outside the hole. However he did not return. His three sons waited for him for one, two and three days and finally became hopeless. They said maybe he was stung by a snake and died or he was lost under the earth and destroyed. They (and we seek refuge in Allah from this) waited for his destruction. Why? Due to greed in order to distribute his inheritance. So they returned home and divided what he had left, amongst themselves. Then they remembered that their father (Ibn Jad'aan) gave a she-camel to their poor neighbour. They went to their neighbour and told him that it is better that he give them back the she-camel and take another camel in replace of it, otherwise they will take it by force and he will be left with nothing. The neighbour complained that he would report them to their father. So they informed him that he had died. He inquired as to how and where Ibn Jad'aan had died, and why they hadn't told him. They then explained how he entered into one of these holes underground in the desert and did not come out. The neighbour said: By Allah take me to this place and take your she-camel and do whatever you do with it and I don't want your camel in return! They took him and when he saw the place, he went and brought a rope, lit a candle, tied it outside the duhul (the hole) and then stepped into it crawling on his back until he reached the places whereby he could crawl and roll. Eventually the smell of moisture became closer and then all of sudden he heard the sound of a man by the water groaning and moaning. He went closer and closer towards this sound in the darkness putting his hand out all over until his hand fell onto the man (Ibn Jad'aan). He checked his breath and he was still breathing after one week! He pulled him out covering his eyes so as to protect him from the sunlight. He took with him some dates, moistened them in water and gave it to him to drink. He then carried him on his back and took him to his house and life gradually return to this man whilst his sons didn't know. He then asked him: Tell me, by Allah, one week while you were underground and you didn't die?! I will tell you something strange... Ibn Jidaan explained: ...when I went down there I got lost and waves took me from all directions and I said to myself I'd better stay close to this water that I have reached. So I started to drink from it, but hunger had no mercy and water does not suffice. Then after three days hunger intensified on me and took me from all parts. While I was lying on my back I surrendered myself to Allah and put all my affairs in his

Bismillah [IslamCity] 7 Tips to Improve Your Relationship with the Qur'an
7 Tips to Improve Your Relationship with the Qur'an ARE you one of those people who rarely touch the Qur'an? Or do you read daily, but don't find it is having the impact on you that it should? Whatever the case may be, these are some simple tips that can help you connect with the Qur'an. 1. Before you touch it, check your heart. The key to really benefiting from the Qur'an is to check your heart first, before you even touch Allah's Book. Ask yourself, honestly, why you are reading it. Is it to just get some information and to let it drift away from you later? Remember that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was described by his wife as a walking Qur'an: in other words, he didn't just read and recite the Qur'an, he lived it. 2. Do your Wudu (ablution). Doing your Wudu is good physical and mental preparation to remind you that you're not reading just another book. You are about to interact with God, so being clean should be a priority when communicating with Him. 3. Read at least 5 minutes everyday. Too often, we think we should read Qur'an for at least one whole hour. If you aren't in the habit of reading regularly, this is too much. Start off with just five minutes daily. If you took care of step one, Insha Allah (God willing), you will notice that those five minutes will become 10, then half an hour, then an hour, and maybe even more! 4. Make sure you understand what you've read. Five minutes of reading the Qur'an in Arabic is good, but you need to understand what you're reading. Make sure you have a good translation of the Qur'an in the language you understand best. Always try to read the translation of what you've read that day. 5. Remember, the Qur'an is more interactive than a CD. In an age of interactive CD-Roms and computer programs, a number of people think books are passive and boring. But the Qur'an is not like that. Remember that when you read the Qur'an, you are interacting with Allah. He is talking to you, so pay attention. 6. Don't just read; listen too. There are now many audio cassettes and CDs of the Qur'an, a number of them with translations as well. This is great to put on your walkman or your car's CD or stereo as you drive to and from work. Use this in addition to your daily Qur'an reading, not as a replacement for it. 7. Make Dua (supplication) . Ask Allah to guide you when you read the Qur'an. Your aim is to sincerely, for the love of Allah, interact with Him by reading, understanding and applying His blessed words. Making Dua to Allah for help and guidance will be your best tool for doing this.
Bismillah [IslamCity] Carry me In your Arms(Touching Story)
Fwd Email Carry me in your arms Abu Hurairah narrated that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: The believers who show the most perfect faith are those who have the best disposition and the best of you are those who are best to their wives. AUTHOR UNKNOWN When I got home that night as my wife Ameena served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to say it. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. Ameena didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, Ismail why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. Ameena was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; I had lost my heart to a lovely girl called Mary Anne. I didn't love Ameena anymore. I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house and the car. She glanced at it and then tore it to pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said, for I loved Mary Anne so dearly. Finally Ameena cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me, her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now. The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell fast asleep because I was tired after an eventful day with Mary Anne. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did'nt care so I turned over and was asleep again. In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month, we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son Ahmed had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage. This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request. I told Mary Anne about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she has, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully. Ameena and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son Ahmed clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, don't tell Ahmed about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office. On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest.. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to Ameena. On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Mary Anne about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me, .. she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head. Our son Ahmed came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. Ameena gestured to our son to come close and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last
Bismillah [IslamCity] 6 BEAUTIFUL GEMS
Fwd Email: 1. IMAAN , Every Muslim should strive for perfect Imaan. To have firm conviction that · All success lies only in the hands of ALLAH alone · The treasures of every thing is in the hands of ALLAH alone · ALLAH is the creator and controller of all things and conditions ALLAH does every thing without the help of the entire creation, while the entire creation can do nothing without the help of ALLAH. The Kalima is the most excellent of all form of zikr A person who recites the kalima 100x daily, his face will be shining like the 14th moon on the day of Qiamat Frequent recitation renews the Imaan. It is the best of all good deeds. Continuous recitation leaves no sin unwashed. Nothing prevents this kalima from reaching ALLAH. Listen frequently to talks about the qualities of ALLAH Speak (give da'wat) many times (at least 25x) So with the awareness that ALLAH is the creator and controller of every thing. Think ponder of the attributes of ALLAH. Only in following the sunnah of Nabi (SAW) is there success, any other lifestyle leads to failure in this life and in the hereafter. To revive a sunnah in the time of Fitnah corruption, the reward is equal to that of 100 shuhadaa (martyrs) Give da'wat about the importance of sunnah Learn practice daily sunnats 2. SALAAH , Salaah should be given preference over all matters. Our life outside salaah should be on the pattern of salaah. If our salaah is correct, then our whole lives will be corrected. The key to Jannah is through salaat Salaat makes our daily rizq (sustenance) easy Give da'wat about the importance of salaah Invite towards salaah Perform long rakaats of nafl salaah 3. ZIKR , We should remember the Almighty with every breath we take Zikr polishes the heart; brings peace of mind removes difficulties in this world uplifts the punishment in the grave Learn read mas noon dua's ...lstighfaar; Durood on Nabie (SAW) Third kalima 100x daily (momingevening ). 4. IKRAAM , A Muslim should always be ready to assist a fellow Muslim at all costs. A person who helps a muslim in need , ALLAH grants 73 favours to such person.1 favour is sufficient to fulfill all his needs in this world 72 is to raise his status in the hereafter. Make salaam; respect elders ulama; treat juniors with kindness; visit the sick; attend janaza's nikah give good advi ce. 5. IKHLAAS, Anything we do, we do for Allah alone A person who gives a date only to please ALLAH, ALLAH will grant such person a mountain of reward, but if a person gives for name fame, ALLAH will take them to task. To make intention check during after deeds that it is solely for the pleasure of ALLAH 6. DAWAH ILLAL-LAAH , Always show those around you the beauty of our deen. One morning or evening in the path of ALLAH is better than the whole world whatever it contains. A little while in the path of ALLAH is more in reward than making Ibadat the whole night near the Hajeraswad on Laylatul Qadr. The smoke, let alone the fire of Jahannam is not allowed to touch that part of the body on which dust settles in the path of ALLAH To create in us the capacity to give our lives for the deen of ALLAH. PASS THIS MESSAGE ON. IF YOU DO NOT, NOTHING WILL BEFALL YOU... BUT IF YOU DO... YOU MAY HAVE BROUGHT SOMEONE CLOSER TO HIS CREATOR. Ameen...
Bismillah [IslamCity] Every Day is Mother's Day in Islam
Mohammad Usman [EMAIL PROTECTED] One day a man came to see the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. It seemed that he was trying to solve something but couldn't quite work it out. So he asked the Prophet. ''Tell me, O Prophet!'' I have many relatives and many friends whom I love, and whom I wish to care for and help. But I often find it difficult to decide which of them has the greatest claim upon me? Which of them should come first?'' The Prophet replied immediately, ''Your mother should come first and before all others.'' The man was very pleased to have this clear guidance from the Prophet. But of course there were all his other relatives and his friends, so he asked ''and after my mother, who has the greatest claim upon me?'' The Prophet's reply this second time surprised him. ''Your mother!'' he said again. The man wondered why the Prophet was repeating himself. Perhaps he had not spoken clearly, the man thought, so he asked the question again, ''What I want to know is, after my mother, who has the greatest claim upon me? Again the Prophet said ''your mother!'' Your mother, your mother, your mother! The Prophet had now said it three times. Slowly, the man realized why he had done so. ''The Prophet means that my mother is extremely important, so much so that my duty to her must be stressed over and over again. Even so, the man's thoughts ran on, ''what about all the others I love and wish to care for?'' Still uncertain and wanting to know more, he once again turned to the Prophet and said, ''and after my mother, who comes after her? Is there anyone besides her?'' The Prophet then replied ''after your mother, your father.'' ''And then?'' asked the man. ''Then people who are nearest to you,'' said the Prophet. Allah's peace and blessings be upon the Prophet.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Honesty in Islam
Email by Khalid Latif Significance of Honesty in Islam Honesty is one of the greatest of all moral virtues. From it springs forth many of the noblest of human qualities like integrity, chastity, and valor. Some people might suppose that honesty is restricted to words. This is not the case. Honesty can manifest itself in our actions as well as in our innermost state of being. The great scholar and ethical thinker, al-Muhâsibî, once said: For honesty to be complete, it must exist in three things. It must exist in the heart as ones faith, it must exist in the intentions behind ones deeds, and it must be present in the words that one speaks. Honesty penetrates to the innermost fiber of a person when his inner being is in harmony with his outer self. A persons deeds are honest only when he practices what he professes. Dishonesty in deed is more despicable than dishonesty in word, for it is naught but a hypocritical display of sincerity. This is what the brothers of Joseph (peace be upon him) did when they came with Josephs bloody clothing to their father. Allah says: So they came with his shirt stained with false blood. [Sûrah Yûsuf: 18] Allah warns us saying: O you who believe, why do you say what you do not do? It is loathsome indeed with Allah that you say what you do not do. [Sûrah al-Saff: 3] Truth in word is the most familiar and obvious kind of truth, since every statement that is inconsistent with reality is obviously a lie. Allah says: Verily those who fabricate a lie against Allah will not find success. Allah commands the believers, saying: O you who believe, fear Allah and be among those who are honest. Allah gives glad tidings to the believers who are honest. He says: Allah will reward the honest people for their honesty. Allah informs us that our honesty will bring us good even in this world: And when a matter is resolved upon, it would be best for them if they were true to Allah. And of course, honesty will be of doubtless benefit to us in the Hereafter. Allah says: This is the day that the honest people will benefit from their honesty. [Sûrah al-Mâidah: 119] Allahs Messenger (peace be upon him) was renowned for his honesty long before he began to receive revelation and became Allahs Messenger. He had been known among his people for years as al-Amîn (the Trustworthy) . The Prophet (peace be upon him) informed us of the effects that both honesty and dishonesty have on our personalities when he said: Honesty brings about security and lying fosters doubts. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said: Honesty leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise . A man remains honest and concerned about honesty until he is recorded as an honest man with Allah. Lying leads to sinfulness and sinfulness leads to the Fire. A man keeps lying and remains partial to lies until he is recorded as a liar with Allah. [Sahîh al-Bukharî and Sahîh Muslim] He also explained the effects that honesty and dishonesty have on our interpersonal dealings: Honesty and clarity are blessed for both parties to a sale, while concealment and deceit destroy the blessings of their sale. [Sahîh al-Bukharî and Sahîh Muslim] We must be honest in our relationship with Allah. There are many dimensions to this most important expression of honesty. There is our sincerity to Allah. Then there is being cognizant that Allah is ever watchful of what we do. There is the sense of humility and shame that we must feel before Him. If we truly want to be honest in our relationship with Allah, we must become so fully sincere to Him that there remains in our hearts no other motive for what we do but to seek His pleasure. We must care nothing for the thanks and appreciation of our fellow men. We can achieve this by making our greatest concern the attainment of Allahs mercy. We must be constantly aware that Allah is ever watchful over us. This will make us feel too shy to ever willingly disobey Allah. Honesty with other people is also extremely important. There are many aspects to this as well. First, we must be honest in our dispensation towards others. We should not behave deceptively and present a false face to people. Instead, we must be genuine and straightforward with people as much as possible. We must be honest in what we say. This requires from us to be careful to ascertain the truth of the news that we hear before we go ahead and pass it on to others. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: It is enough to make a person a liar that he tells others everything that he hears. We must be honest in giving advice to people. We should be sincere in our advice and truly do our best to help people avoid misfortune and attain what is good for them. We need to be even more honest with our spouses. We must be able to confide in them and speak freely to them about our concerns, our secrets, and our
Bismillah [IslamCity] Hadiths
Hadith Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anha) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, The uttering of the words: Subhan-Allah (Allah is free from imperfection), Al-hamdu lillah (all praise is due to Allah), La ilaha illallah (there is no true god except Allah) and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)' is dearer to me than anything over which the sun rises.'' [Muslim]. Hadith Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (Radhiallaho anha) reported about Surat Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112): The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an.'' According to another version, he (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said to his Companions, Is anyone of you incapable of reciting one-third of the Qur'an in one night?'' They considered it burdensome and said: O Messenger of Allah, which of us can afford to do that?'' He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, Surat Al-Ikhlas [Say: He is Allah (the) One] is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an.'' [Al-Bukhari] Commentary: One reading of Surat Al-Ikhlas has return and reward equal to the recitation of one-third of the Qur'an. This Surah mentions the Oneness of Allah. This is enough to make one realize how much Allah (SWT) likes the recitation and remembrance of His Oneness. This is the reason, He has declared Shirk (polytheism) an absolutely unpardonable sin.

Bismillah [IslamCity] 7 Tips to Improve Your Relationship with the Qur'an
7 Tips to Improve Your Relationship with the Qur'an ARE you one of those people who rarely touch the Qur'an? Or do you read daily, but don't find it is having the impact on you that it should? Whatever the case may be, these are some simple tips that can help you connect with the Qur'an. 1. Before you touch it, check your heart. The key to really benefiting from the Qur'an is to check your heart first, before you even touch Allah's Book. Ask yourself, honestly, why you are reading it. Is it to just get some information and to let it drift away from you later? Remember that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was described by his wife as a walking Qur'an: in other words, he didn't just read and recite the Qur'an, he lived it. 2. Do your Wudu (ablution). Doing your Wudu is good physical and mental preparation to remind you that you're not reading just another book. You are about to interact with God, so being clean should be a priority when communicating with Him. 3. Read at least 5 minutes everyday. Too often, we think we should read Qur'an for at least one whole hour. If you aren't in the habit of reading regularly, this is too much. Start off with just five minutes daily. If you took care of step one, Insha Allah (God willing), you will notice that those five minutes will become 10, then half an hour, then an hour, and maybe even more! 4. Make sure you understand what you've read. Five minutes of reading the Qur'an in Arabic is good, but you need to understand what you're reading. Make sure you have a good translation of the Qur'an in the language you understand best. Always try to read the translation of what you've read that day. 5. Remember, the Qur'an is more interactive than a CD. In an age of interactive CD-Roms and computer programs, a number of people think books are passive and boring. But the Qur'an is not like that. Remember that when you read the Qur'an, you are interacting with Allah. He is talking to you, so pay attention. 6. Don't just read; listen too. There are now many audio cassettes and CDs of the Qur'an, a number of them with translations as well. This is great to put on your walkman or your car's CD or stereo as you drive to and from work. Use this in addition to your daily Qur'an reading, not as a replacement for it. 7. Make Dua (supplication) . Ask Allah to guide you when you read the Qur'an. Your aim is to sincerely, for the love of Allah, interact with Him by reading, understanding and applying His blessed words. Making Dua to Allah for help and guidance will be your best tool for doing this. - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.

Bismillah [IslamCity] After Ramadan(Where we are?)
After Ramadan The Holy month of Ramadaan came like seasonal rain and passed by. This rain did not water the plants and crops -it showered upon the hearts of believers. It is sad, but true, that the hearts of the majority of Muslims are stricken with spiritual drought and spiritual decadence. It is a drought caused by excessive indulgence in un-Islamic activities, immoral behaviour, unjust actions, unfair dealings etc. Drought caused by lack of rain destroys crops -drought caused by lack of piety, lack of fear of Allah and lack of Allah consciousness destroys the SPIRITUALITY of the heart. Ramadaan's spiritual rains brought to life the Masaajid and other prayer places. Ramadaan had fanned the dying spark of charity .Ramadaan had awakened the dying spirit of tolerance, patience and sympathy for the less fortunate. Now that we come to the end of Ramadaan the big question is what to do? Did we go through all the spiritual exercises in Ramadaan in order that we may have the freedom to indulge, on Eid day, in all types of immoral, shameless and indecent amusement? Did we restrain ourselves from halaal food, drinks and other pleasures from dawn to sunset throughout Ramadaan, so that we may return with renewed vigour to gambling, drinking, adultery and fornication? Will the spirit of tolerance, mercy, patience, charity and sympathy be still evident or will these noble qualities be shelved until the dawn of the next Ramadaan? Will the Masajids which were filled on most nights in Ramadaan remain the same or will they become empty wondering where the faithful have gone? Our lifetsyles after Ramadaan will show whether we used the month to bring about a total reformation within ourselves or are we going to waste the valuable opportunity? The National and international position of the Muslim communities leaves much to be desired. Muslims are lamenting the loss of lives, destruction of property, oppression, tyranny, injustice and a host of other problems all over the world. They are wondering why the promised help of Allah to the believers is nowhere in sight. Just one glance into the lifestyles of the overwhelming majority of the Muslims is sufficient to answer the question. Millions of Muslims do not have much to their credit besides Muslim names. Allah's help comes with action and Islamic qualities -not with names or faces - Arabs or non-Arabs, African or European, Chinese or Indians. On the other hand every group, organization, society or individual who talks Islam, seems to have got its own brand of Islam. The Islamic teachings which were left behind for us, crystal clear and pristine pure, have become so adulterated with foreign customs, alien practices and un-Islamic ideologies, that a new Muslim has to make an effort to search for the Quran and Sunnah brand of Islam or remain confused and ignorant. May Allah Ta'ala on the occasion of Eid give us the guidance to resolve that we shall make the Quran and Sunnah our guiding lights and practise Islam as much as possible. If the non-Muslim inhabitants of our country see Islam in the lives of Muslims, they will not require much persuasion to accept our beautiful deen. - Tonight's top picks. What will you watch tonight?

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Battle of Badr
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful For sure Allah helped you at Badr when you were utterly weak. Beware, the, of Allah; perhaps you will be thankful. (Al-Imran 3:123) Badr is the name of a rural city about 150 miles from Madinah City. Very detailed history of the Great battle of Badr, which is considered as a remarkable event in the Islamic History. The day of the battle was named the Day of Criterion, Yaoum ul Furqaan First time the followers of the new faith were put into a serious test. This was a battle in which the forces of truth, numbering 313 men against all odds, defeated an army three times their size. When Holy Prophet arrived at this momentous decision, he called the Muhajirin and the Ansar together and placed the whole position before them, without any reservation. Companions Historical Role-play Miqdad bin 'Amr, a Muhajir, stood up and said, O Messenger of Allah! Please march to the side to which your Lord commands you; we will accompany you wherever you go. We will not say like the Israelites, 'Go and let you and your Lord fight we will wait'. In contrast to them we say, 'Let you and your Lord fight; we will fight by your side to our last breath'. Sa'ad bin Mu'az, an Ansar, stood up and said, Sir, it appears that you are putting the question to us. When the Holy Prophet said, Yes, the Ansar replied, We have believed in you and confirmed that what you have brought is the Truth, and have made a solemn pledge with you that we will listen to you and obey you. Therefore, O Messenger of Allah, do whatever you intend to do. We swear by Allah Who has sent you with the Truth that we are ready to accompany you to the sea shore and if you enter it, we will plunge into it. We assure you that not a single one of us will remain behind or forsake you, for we will not hesitate at all to go to fight, even if you should lead us to the battlefield tomorrow. We will remain steadfast in the battle and sacrifice our lives in the fight. We do hope that by the grace of Allah our behavior will gladden your heart. So, trusting in Allah's blessing, take us to the battlefield. For the number of people, who came forward to go to the battlefield, was only a little more than three hundred (86 Muhajirs, 62 from Aus and 170 from Khazraj). Then the little army was ill-armed and hardly equipped for battle. Only a couple of them had horses to ride and the others had to take their turn in threes and fours on the back of a camel, out of the 70 they had in all. Above all, they had not got enough weapons for the battle; only 60 of them had armors No wonder that with the exception of those who were prepared to sacrifice their lives for the cause of ISLAM. The Holy Prophet supplication before the beginning of the battle: The two parties met in combat at Badr on the Seventeenth of Ramadan. When the two armies confronted each other and the Holy Prophet noticed that the Quraish army outnumbered the Muslims by three to one and was much better equipped, he raised his hands up in supplication and made this earnest prayer with great humility: O Allah! Here are the Quraish proud of their war material: they have come to prove that Thy Messenger is false. O Allah! now send that succor that Thou hast promised to give me. O Allah! If this little army of Thy servants is destroyed, then there will be left none in the land to worship Thee. In this combat the emigrants from Makkah were put to the hardest test for they had to fight against their own near and dear relatives and put to the sword their fathers, their sons, their paternal and maternal uncles and their brothers. This was indeed a very hard test for it meant that a small town with a population of a few thousand inhabitants was going to wage a war with the whole of Arabia. It is obvious that only such people could take this bold step who believed in the Truth of Islam so firmly that they were ready to sacrifice every personal interest for its sake. A Western research scholar says that before the Battle of Badr, Islam was merely a religion and a state but after the Battle it became the state religion, nay, the state itself. - Boardwalk for $500?

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] 23rd March: A Fateful Day
23rd March: A Fateful Day All India Muslim League Working Committee, Lahore session, March 1940 Pakistan Day, 23rd March, is a very momentous day in Pakistan's history. Pakistanis commemorate the day every year as a real day of the making of Pakistan. It was 23rd March when a historic Resolution - widely known as 'Lahore Resolution- was passed. The Resolution cast off the concept of United India and recommended the creation of an independent Muslim state consisting of Punjab, NWFP, Sindh and Baluchistan in the northwest, and Bengal and Assam in the northeast. The Resolution was seconded by Maulana Zafar Ali Khan from Punjab, Sardar Aurangzeb from the NWFP, Sir Abdullah Haroon from Sindh, and Qazi Esa from Baluchistan, along with many others. It laid down only the principles, with the details left to be worked out at a future date. It was made a part of All India Muslim League's constitution in 1941. More importantly, it was on the basis of this resolution that in 1946 the Muslim League decided to go for one maverick state for the Muslims, instead of two. Having passed the Pakistan Resolution, the Muslims of India altered their ultimate goal. They set out on a path whose destination was a separate homeland for the Muslims of India, in lieu of seeking union with the Hindu community. Different participating leaders of the session of All-India Muslim League held on March 23, 1940, including the Quaid-i-Azam, agreed that India was never united; rather it was split between Muslim India and Hindu India and it would remain so in the future. The entire outlooks, customs and traditions of civilisations of these two different nations were different anyway. They were different not only in their religious beliefs, but their entire mode of life bore a different imprint. The words of the Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah in his presidential address to the session carried a far deeper impression on the oppressed and demoralised Muslims at the hands of ruthless and undemocratic Congress rule. Mr Jinnah said: The Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs and literature. They neither intermarry nor inter-dine together, and indeed they belong to two different civilisations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions. Such a far-reaching speech by Mr Jinnah paved the way for the demand of a separate independent homeland for the exploited Muslims of India, who believed their rights and privileges could not be guarded under a parliamentary form of government. They also realised that the bloody brutes of the majority without any democratic traditions turned the Hindu rulers tyrannical in their behaviour and due to missing of any administrative experience they acted in a way that could be unacceptable in a democratic society. One of the key demands made in the Pakistan resolution moved by chief minister of Bengal Maulvi Fazl-ul-Haq on March 23, 1940, was that no constitutional plan would be workable in this country or acceptable to the Muslims unless it was framed on the followed basic principles. That geographically contiguous units are demarcated into regions, which should be constituted with such territorial readjustments as, may be necessary. That the areas wherein the Muslims form majority as in the North-Western and Eastern zones of India be grouped together to constituted 'independent States' in which the constituted units shall be autonomous and sovereign. That adequate, effective and mandatory safeguards be specially provided in the constitution for minorities in these units and in the regions for the protection of their religious, cultural, economic, political administrative and other rights of interests in consultation with them and in other parts of India where the Muslims form minority. Having analysed the crux of the resolution, one comes to a conclusion as to it (the resolution) laid emphasis on a necessity of separate Muslim-state for the Muslims of India by grouping the North-Western and Eastern zones of India where they were in majority, constitutional protection to minorities and their rights-cum-interests. Passing of the Lahore Resolution, which was dubbed by the Hindu and the British press as 'The Pakistan Resolution', ended in a great hue and cry in the Hindu, Sikh and British circles. The Indian press found a new target to incessantly make evil designs and unfurl campaigns against the Muslims and leaders of the Muslim League. Mr Gandhi declared that partition would mean suicide and the Two-Nation Theory was an unreality. The vast majority of Muslims of India area concerts to Islam or are the descendents of the converts. In consequence, they did not make a separate nation as soon as they become converts, he maintained. Others who flatly opposed the Lahore Resolution were Raj Gopal
Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Avoid Weekend Weight Gain
Avoid Weekend Weight Gain By: Heather Hatfield How to unwind without undoing your diet Happy hour after work on Friday. Dinner out at your favorite restaurant on Saturday. A home-cooked feast on Sunday. Before you know it, a weekend of unwinding can turn into a calorie-fest that undermines a week's worth of healthy eating -- and, come Monday morning, sends the needle on your scale creeping upward. Individual eating habits tend to change dramatically over the weekend, says Cedric Bryant, PhD, chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise. You tend to see people consuming more alcoholic beverages and more calorie-dense foods. It's a real easy recipe to gain weight. But avoiding the weekend weight-gain trap doesn't have to mean your favorite Friday-through-Sunday treats are off-limits, experts say. Below, they offer some tips for enjoying your days off while avoiding the weekend food frenzy. The Weekend Trap Research has shown just how much damage weekend overeating can do to our diets. There is a large and significant difference in energy intake on the three-day weekend versus the four-day weekday, particularly for young adults, says Barry Popkin, PhD, co-author of a study on weekend weight gain. The study, published in the August 2003 issue of Obesity Research, found that Americans 19 to 50 years old take in 115 more calories per day on the weekend (defined as Friday through Sunday) than on the other days of the week. Over the course of a year, that adds up to 17,940 extra calories -- or about 5 pounds. And, as you might have guessed, it's not healthy foods that we're eating more of during the weekend. That 115-calorie-a-day difference comes mostly from alcohol and fat, says Popkin, a professor of nutrition in the School of Public Health at the University of North Carolina. Even so, those extra calories don't have to turn into fat, the experts say. The key is burning more calories than you consume. That means finding active ways to relax - like brisk walking, playing tennis, even gardening - instead of vegging out in front of the TV. People tend to think of the weekend as their time to relax and recover from the hectic workweek, says Bryant. What they should do is really try to make an effort to become more active in their daily pursuits over the weekend days. Look for as many opportunities to move as possible, so you can increase physical activity to offset the extra calories you consume. While physical activity may be the obvious answer, experts say there are other tricks that can help you overcome the habit of weekend overindulgence: · Start your day out right. Eat a healthy breakfast on the weekend, when you have more time, says Susan Moores, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. You usually eat less during the day if you start with a healthy breakfast, and you get some good nutrition.· dont go hungry to save up for a big dinner out. Saving yourself backfires -- you usually end up eating way more than you would have if you ate normally throughout the day, says Moores. Have a little bite to eat before you go out to take the edge off your hunger, and then simply enjoy good food when you go out. · Savor the experience of dining out. Allow yourself to enjoy good food and savor it, rather than overindulge in it, says Moores. People forget what the whole eating experience is about -- sitting with friends, enjoying your time together, and relaxing.· Eat slowly. It takes 15-20 minutes for your brain to signal your stomach that it's full, so take your time, Moores explains. Whether you're at a party or eating out on the weekend, remember to slow down when you're eating.· Start with soup. Take your time when you order at a restaurant, and start with soup, says Moores. Then, have the waiter come back so you can order an entrée -- you'll order much less than if you ordered all at once. Halve your restaurant entrees. Splitting an entree with a friend is a great way to make a significant cut in calories on the weekend, says Moores. · Dont skip dessert; share it. Make it special, says Moores. Choose something that is really delightful to you and split it with a friend. Keep an eye out for portion sizes, and if the dessert you want is huge, ask the waiter to slice it thin or split it with the table -- but I'm all for dessert. Avoid overdoing it with alcohol. If you can cut out one or two drinks per day on the weekend, that will save you 100 to 150-plus calories, says Moores. And, she explains, people who drink more tend to eat more as well. So drink alcohol with caution, if at all. Remember your waistline. Wear a tighter pair of pants when you go out on the weekend, says Moores. Wear something that's not uncomfortable but that reminds you there are limits to what you should eat. · Find a substitute for soda. Use water to satisfy thirst, rather than soda,
Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Science Faith by Allama Iqbal
Allama Iqbal Science and Faith Once Science said to Faith: My eye can see all that is in this world; The Entire world is within my net. I am only concerned with material things, What have I to do with spiritual matters? I can strike a thousand melodies, And openly proclaim all the secrets that I learn. Faith said: With your magic even the waves in the sea are set ablaze, You can pollute the atmosphere with foul, poisonous gases. When you associated with me, you were light, When you broke off from me, your light became fire. You were of Divine origin, But you have been caught in the clutches of Shaytan. Come, make this wasteland a garden once again. Borrow from me a little of my ecstasy, And in the world set up a paradise. From the day of creation we have been associates, We are the low and high tunes of the same melody. And will provide for him whence he expects not.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Study Abt Prayer
Fwded Email Dawn prayer prevents heart diseases: study Published: Friday, 9 March, 2007, 10:20 AM Doha Time RECENT scientific research has shown performing Fajr (dawn) prayer regularly in time daily is the best preventive and remedial measure for heart diseases, congestion of blood vessels, arteriosclerosis and cardiac infarction which causes brain stroke. A research conducted by the Jordanian Heart Doctors Society said the studies established that the cardiac infarction disease, which is one of the most dangerous diseases and congestion of blood vessels, was mainly caused by long hours of sleep in the day or night. The study showed if a person slept for long, his heart beat rate drops to 50 per minute and the blood flows very slowly leading to accumulation of salts and fats on walls of blood vessels in particular in wall of the coronary artery consequently causing a blockage. The congestion of blood vessels weaken the heart muscle which pumps blood to and from the brain leading to heart an attack and or deadly brain stroke in most cases. The study stressed the need to refrain from long periods of sleep and get a sleep not exceeding more than four hours after which it is important to get up and do an activity for 15 minutes at the least. The performance of dawn prayer every day in the first hours of the day and in congregation in the mosque provides that preventive and remedial measure against heart diseases. â QNA And will provide for him whence he expects not.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Ten Useless Matters
Ten Useless Matters There are ten useless matters: 1. Knowledge that is not acted on 2. The deed that has neither sincerity nor is based on following the righteous examples of others 3. Money that is hoarded, as the owner neither enjoys it during this life nor obtains any reward for it in the Hereafter 4. The heart that is empty of love and longing for Allah, and of seeking closeness to Him 5. A body that does not obey and serve Allah 6. Loving Allah without following His orders or seeking His pleasure 7. Time that is not spent in expiating sins or seizing opportunities to do good 8. A mind that thinks about useless matters 9. Serving those who do not bring you close to Allah, nor benefit you in your life 10.Hoping and fearing whoever is under the authority of Allah and in His hand; while he cannot bring any benefit or harm to himself, nor death, nor life; nor can he resurrect himself. However the greater of these matters are wasting the heart and wasting time. Wasting the heart is done by preferring this worldly life over the Hereafter, and wasting time is done by having incessant hope. Destruction occurs by following ones desires and having incessant hope, while all goodness is found in following the right path and preparing oneself to meet Allah. How strange it is that when a servant of Allah has a [worldly] problem, he seeks help of Allah, but he never asks Allah to cure his heart before it dies of ignorance, neglect, fulfilling ones desires and being involved in innovations. Indeed, when the heart dies, he will never feel the significance or impact of his sins. Allah Knows best Compiled, edited and adapted by Khalid Latif And will provide for him whence he expects not.

How do we all feel with our growing joint pains, failing health or aching hearts - withgrowing hospital bills and eroding incomes?

How do we feel with so much chaos around us - the ever-growing unruly traffic, ever-growingcorruption,the failing politicians and above all the growing violence? Can we still keep calm?

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Jealousy
Jealousy Jealousy is a disease of the heart. It is, perhaps, one of the oldest problems of human beings. Causes of Jealousy 1-Enmity: One has animosity for a person or group and does not want to see anything good happen to that person or group. 2-Ambition: It hurts a person to see someone else ahead or above him/her. 3-Pride and Arrogance: When a person is self conceited and arrogant, he/she feels very jealous to see anyone else going ahead or doing better. 4-Astonishment: Some time a person feels astonished that another person could do better than him/her. He/she feels surprised: 'How come that person became so rich, so successful, so popular, etc.?' 5-Fear: Fear that if another person would have such and such thing, then he/she may not have it. 6-Desire for power and prestige: Sometimes a person becomes jealous because he/she want to make one great by putting others down. 7-Evil nature and avarice of the heart: Some people just do not like to see others happy. They want to see the whole world in misery and difficulty except their own selves. Normally jealousy occurs among people who know each other. It happens among siblings, among family members, people of the same profession and age. Do not be jealous of each other, do not boycott each other, do not hate each other, do not contrive against each other. Be all of you brothers to each other.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Power of Dua
The Power of Dua --- Dua is the most potent weapon of a believer. With it, we can never fail, without it, we can never succeed. Once Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) passed by a group of people who were suffering from some affliction. Why dont they make Dua (supplication) to Allah for protection, he said. With all the suffering and disasters Muslims are facing in various parts of the world, the question can be directed to all of us today. It is not that we have forgotten Dua completely, we refer to it regularly. But our ideas and practice regarding Dua have become distorted. Often it is reduced to the level of a ritual. Generally it is considered when all our efforts have failedan act of last resort. It is belittled through actions and sometimes even with words. Is it any wonder that today mostly a mention of Dua is meant to indicate the hopelessness of a situation? What a tragedy, for Dua is the most potent weapon of a believer. It can change fate, while no action of ours ever can. It is the essence of Ibaadah or worship. With it, we can never fail, without it, we can never succeed. In the proper scheme of things, Dua should be the first and the last resort of the believer, with all his plans and actions coming in between. Dua is conversation with Allah, our Creator, our Lord and Master, the All Knowing, the All Powerful. This act in itself is of extraordinary significance. It is the most uplifting, liberating, empowering, and transforming conversation a person can ever have. We turn to Him because we know that He alone can lift our sufferings and solve our problems. We feel relieved after describing our difficulties to our Creator. We feel empowered after having communicated with the All Mighty. In every difficulty, our first action is Dua, as is our last. We ask Allah to show us the way to handle that difficulty; we seek His help in following the path He shows to us, we seek His aid in making our efforts successful. When we fall sick, we know that we cannot find the right doctor without His Will, that the best doctor may not be able to diagnose our condition without His Command. The best treatment plan will not succeed without His permission. We make Dua for all of these. We make Dua before we seek medical help, while we are receiving it and after it has been delivered. The same is true of all other difficulties we may encounter. Dua is the essence of Ibaadah. A person engaged in Dua affirms his belief in Tauheed (monotheism) and shuns belief in all false gods. A person seriously and sincerely engaged in Dua understands exactly the relationship between himself and the Creator and affirms it through his actions. That is the essence of worship! Additionally, such a person can never become arrogant or proud, a logical result of true worship. Dua is our most potent weapon in all struggles of life as well as in jihad in the battlefield. During the battle of Badr, Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) stood up all night in prayer seeking Allahs help in the battle between unequal armies that would follow the next day. In the decisive battles against the crusaders, Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi was busy day and night. His days were devoted to jihad. His nights were spent making Dua, crying, and seeking Allahs help. We should make Dua at all times, not only during times of distress. We should ask for all of our needs: those related to this world as well as those related to the Hereafter. We should make Dua not only for ourselves, but also for our parents, brothers and sisters, spouses and children, relatives and friends, teachers and other benefactors, destitute and struggling Muslims everywhere. We should pray for them for the good in this world as well as in the Hereafter. The Prophet (Pbuh) said: The Dua of a Muslim for his brother (in Islam) in his absence is readily accepted. An angel is appointed to his side. Whenever he makes a beneficial Dua for his brother the appointed angel says, Aameen. And may you also be blessed with the same.[Muslim, Hadith 4914] In the dark ages that we are living in today, everyday brings fresh news about atrocities committed against our brothers in Palestine, , , Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya, etc. And what do we do? We can continue to just feel frustrated and depressed. We can petition the determined perpetrators or a fictional International Community. We can just forget all of this and move on to some other subject. Or we can stand up before Allah and pray for His help, Who alone can help. Dua can change our life, our outlook, and our fate. It is the most potent weapon. But it works only for those who try sincerely and seriously to use it.

From: Muslim Girl [mailto:muslimgirl2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] com] Sent: Wednesday, 20 December 2006 5:09 p.m. To: Clear Water Blasting Services Subject: Reward of 10 days of Dhu'l Hijjah Among the great seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, which Allaah has favoured over other days. It was narrated from Ibn Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these ten days. They said: Not even jihad for the sake of Allaah? He said: Not even jihad for the sake of Allaah, unless a man goes out himself for jihad taking his wealth with him and does not come back with anything. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2/457 It was also narrated from Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: There is no deed that is better before Allaah or more greatly rewarded than a good deed done in the (first) ten days of al-Adha. It was said: Not even jihad for the sake of Allaah? He said: Not even jihad for the sake of Allaah, unless a man goes out himself for jihad taking his wealth with him and does not come back with anything. Narrated by al-Daarimi, 1/357; its isnaad is hasan as stated in al-Irwa, 3/398. These texts and others indicate that these ten days are better than all other days of the year, with no exception, even the last ten days of Ramadaan. But the last ten nights of Ramadaan are better than the first ten nights of Dhul-Hijjah, because they include Laylat al-Qadr, which is better than a thousand months. See Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 5/412. So the Muslim should start these days with sincere repentance to Allaah, then he should do a lot of righteous deeds in general, then he should pay attention to doing the following deeds: 1 Fasting It is Sunnah for the Muslim to fast on the first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) encouraged us to do righteous deeds in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and fasting is one of the best of deeds, which Allaah has chosen for Himself as it says in the hadeeth qudsi: Allaah says: All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him, except fasting, which is for Me and I shall reward for it. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1805. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah. It was narrated from Hunaydah ibn Khaalid from his wife, that one of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah and the day of Ashoora, and three days each month, the first Monday of the month and two Thursdays. Narrated by al-Nasaai, 4/205 and by Abu Dawood; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 2/462. 2 Reciting tahmeed, tahleel and takbeer a great deal It is Sunnah to recite takbeer (saying Allaahu akbar (Allaah is most great)), tahmeed (saying al-hamdu Lillah (praise be to Allaah)), tahleel (saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah (There is no god but Allaah)) and tasbeeh (saying Subhaan-Allaah (Glory be to Allaah)), during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, saying these words out loud in the mosques, homes, streets and every place in which it is permissible to remember Allaah, to perform this act of worship openly and proclaim the greatness of Allaah. Men should recite out loud and women should recite quietly. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): That they may witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e. reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade), and mention the Name of Allaah on appointed days, over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice) [al-Hajj 22:28] The majority are of the view that the appointed days are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, because it was narrated from Ibn Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the appointed days are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. It was narrated from Abd-Allaah ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: There are no days that are greater before Allaah or in which good deeds are more beloved to Him, than these ten days, so recite a great deal of tahleel, takbeer and tahmeed during them. Narrated by Ahmad, 7/224; its isnaad was classed as saheeh by Ahmad Shaakir. The takbeer is as follows: Allaah akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, Allaahu akbar, wa Lillaah il-hamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, there is no god but Allaah; Allaah is Most Great and to Allaah be praise). And there are other versions. This takbeer has become a forsaken Sunnah nowadays, especially at the beginning of these ten days. You can hardly hear it

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Religion of the Capitalists
Religion of the Capitalists America is trying to introduce a new religion with their strong and international media. A religion where Satan gives revelation to the owners of large companies and rich people of the hegemonic system that is running the world. The source of revelation is Satan and those that receive the revelation and propagate the religion are the American and Israeli spy research centers and think tanks. These colonization organizations perform two actions; they present a unified religion and they explain the teachings of correct religions in accordance with their goals and interests: increasing their domain. The American Zionists have named Islam, holy war, and defending ones land, women, children, religion, and honor as terrorism and consider them as evil actions. The Jewish Christians take on religion is that they consider enjoining the good and forbidding the evil as well as advising one another as an unjust interference into ones personal business. The American British take on religion is that they consider chastity and the holding back of pious and believing men and women from corruption and unethical conduct as a type of depression, a type of mental disorder, and a type of backwardness. The concepts of independence in culture, politics, and economics does not have a meaning in the new religion of those who worship the world, rather independence, power-mongering, people after proofs, and people after building are praised. In the new religion, the whole world must act in accordance to the culture, economy, and politics of the headquarters of disbelief; New York and Tel Aviv. If they dont they will be charged with apostasy and then Hence, everyone must live in the cage built by America. Modern logic considers the term independence as old and belonging to the Middle Ages. In the new religion, in shadows of making an international economy, 80 percent of the worlds wealth and resources must be in the hands of less than 20 percent of the worlds population; in other words the Zionists. In the shadows of the international Zionism, God is no longer the one worshiped on earth, the direction of prayer is no longer Mecca, rather the American dollar, large companies, international media, and large internet cites have been transformed into idols, gods, and the direction of prayer. In the new definition of religion that America is presenting to the Muslims, the teachings of jihad, martyrdom, enjoining the good, forbidding the evil, spiritual and ethical traits, and forming an Islamic government must be erased from the Quran. The verses that discuss the evilness, the dividing tactics, and the instigating nature of the Jews and the deception of the Christians over the Muslims must be erased from the Quran. In its place, understanding, dialogue, de-escalation, unity with the modern worlds caravan, unified thought, and a peaceful life in accordance to their understanding will be taught. One of the first laws that they will pass is laxity and negligince with the aggressive disbelievers and polytheists. One of the important political strategies of the new religion, according to the statements of the Jews and Christians, will be that they have the right to any kind of military move or economic embargo against the Muslims or the downtrodden. This will be legal, advanced, and humane. Therefore, in farthest parts of the world they are gathering different types of weapons of mass destruction and are building prisons, army barracks, bunkers, forts, castles and torture dungeons. But, Muslims do not have any right to fight against their invasion of Muslim land and if they do defend their religion, women, children, or land they are introduced as violent, terrorists, and backward. One of their acts of worship will be giving democracy to backward nations. There is no problem in giving them democracy even though millions of humans in Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Bosnia, Palestine, Panama, and Vietnam are killed and are tortured by modern American tactics in Abu Gharayb and Guntanamo until they accept western culture, civilization, progress, and modernity. Examples of laws of the new religion are making, hording, and using nuclear, microbe, and chemical weapons by England, America, and Israel. Also, that there is no problem for them verbally and physically threaten the world because they are spreading liberal democracy and western human rights. But, Muslim countries gaining knowledge and modern technologies are a serious danger to the worlds peace and are definitely forbidden and unforgivable. Another rule of the new religion is that all of mankind must use the cultural and propagation goods of Hollywood. The whole world must spend their lives in the dirty, unethical internet sites and satellite channels and at the same time they must thank their lords; they must look at them respectfully. Another aspect of this religion is Americas
Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Vitamin D
Vitamin D Vitamin D is a vitamin (a substance the body requires in small doses for proper nutrition and function) that is fat-soluble, meaning that it is dissolved and stored in the fat of your body. Vitamin D maintains proper levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood and together with calcium builds strong bones. The November 9, 2005, issue of JAMA contains an article about sufficient levels of vitamin D for healthy bones. SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE Sun exposure for 10 to 15 minutes at least twice a week usually provides adequate amounts of vitamin D. Certain conditions such as cloud cover, northern climates, pollution, and the winter months may not provide adequate sunlight exposure. Excess sun exposure causes skin cancer, so you should limit exposure to sunlight, not use tanning beds, and wear protective clothing and a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 when outdoors for longer than 10 to 15 minutes twice a week. Infants should be kept out of direct sunlight all together. VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY When vitamin D levels are low, bones become weak and brittle. In children, vitamin D deficiency causes a disease called rickets, which results in poorly developed weak bones, delayed growth, immune deficiencies, and, when severe, seizures. In adults, vitamin D deficiency causes a disease called osteomalacia, which results in weak bones, fractures, bone pain, and weakness. Low levels of vitamin D may be a factor in osteoporosis (thin bones). WHO IS AT RISK OF DEVELOPING VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY? Infants who are exclusively breast-fed or receiving less than about 2 cups a day of vitamin Dfortified formula or milk People who have darker-pigmented skin People with very limited sunlight exposure People with fat malabsorption diseases, such as pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, and surgical resection of the bowel People who have liver or kidney disease or enzyme deficiencies People in the northern hemisphere during winter HOW MUCH VITAMIN D DO YOU NEED? For infants to adults aged 50 years, the daily adequate intake is 200 international units (IU) of vitamin D. For adults aged 51 to 70 years, 400 IU is required, and for those older than 70 years, 600 IU is recommended. Discuss with your doctor the proper vitamin D intake and sun exposure for you and whether you should take a supplement, especially if you are at risk of developing a deficiency. Too much vitamin D can occur from taking excess vitamin D supplements and can cause serious problems, such as nausea, vomiting, and weakness or even confusion and heart rhythm abnormalities. source;AgaKhanUnivHospital All praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of everything that exists.The most Gracious, the Most Merciful.Master of the Day of Judgment You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help.Guide us to the Straight Way The Way of of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor those who went astray.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Some of Symptoms,Avoidence Cures of Sin
Some of the 'Symptoms, Avoidance and Cures' of Sins: Narrated by Abu Huraira, The Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said "Avoid the seven great destructive sins" the people asked O Allaah Messenger ! what are they ? He said "To join others in worship along with Allaah, to practice sorcery, to kill the life which Allaah has forbidden except for a just cause, to eat up Riba (usury, interest), to eat up an orphan's wealth, to show one's back to the enemy and fleeing from the battlefield at the time of fighting and to accuse chaste women, who never even think of anything touching their chastity and are true believers".[19] Narrated by Abdullah bin Amr that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said "Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up. 1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays (proves dishonest).2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie. 3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous. 4. Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner." [20] Narrated by 'Aishah that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said "The most hated person to Allaah is the one who is most quarrelsome of the opponents" [21] Narrated by Abu Huraira that Allaah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said "Part of a man's good observance of Islaam is that he leaves the things which do not concern him" ( i.e. avoiding interference with other's matters).[22] Narrated by Ibn Abbas that Allaah Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) passed by two graves and said "Both of them are being tortured, and they are not being tortured for a major sin. This one used not to save himself from being soiled with his urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies" [23] The Qur'aan: Narrated by Uthman, The Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: "The best among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Qur'aan and teach it (to others)." [24] Ibn Masood reported that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) once said "Whoever reads a single letter from Allaah's Book will receive a blessing and each blessing is worth ten times its value."[25] Abu Umaamah reported that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said "Recite the Qur'aan for verily on the Day of Resurrection it will act as an intercessor for its companions (those who read it often).[26] Prayer ( Salat ) [27] To offer salat at its appointed time as narrated by Abdullah ibn Masud 'I asked the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) Which deed is the dearest to Allaah ? He said, "To performs-Salat at their early fixed times... "[28] Bearing in mind salat is to performed as the prophet ordered us to pray "Perform your salat the way you see me performing them" [29] Fasting (Saum) and Charity (Sadaqah)[30] Mu'adh bin Jabal narrates: "The Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said to him "May I show you the gates of goodness ? (They are) Fasting is a screen from hell, As-Sadaqah extinguishes the sins as the water extinguishes the fire, Standing in prayer by a slave of Allaah during the last third part (Tahajjud) of a night" Then the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) recited (V.32:16) "Their sides forsake their beds".[31] Abu Huraira narrates that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said "Everyday two angels come down from the heaven and one of them says 'O Allaah ! Compensate every person who spends in your cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allaah ! Destroy every miser.'" [32] Seeking Knowledge Reported by Anas "Seeking knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim" [33] Reported by Abu ad-Dardaa that he heard the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) say "If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allaah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of paradise. The angels will lower their wings because of their pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, and forgiveness will be asked for him by the inhabitants of the heavens and earth and the fish in the depth of the oceans..." [34] Adhering to the Sunnah Reported by Abu Huraira that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said "I have left with you two things, if you hold on firmly to them , you will never go astray; Allaah's Book and my Sunnah." [35] Abu Huraira narrates that Allaah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said, "All my Ummah will enter paradise except those who refuse" They asked O Allaah's Messenger ! who will refuse ? He Said "Whoever obeys me will enter paradise, and whoever disobeys me is the one who refuses (to enter paradise)" [36] Avoiding Bidah (Innovation) Abdullah ibn Masoud relates that Allaah's Messenger (Pubh) drew a line for them one day and then Said "This is Allaah's path", then he drew several lines (branching off) to the right and to the left and said, "These are the paths (of Misguidance) on each of which is a devil inviting people to follow it" and then he
Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Signs Of Weak Imaan
From: Khalid Latif [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 2:18 PMTo: Khalid LatifSubject: FW: Definitely worth reading : SIGNS OF WEAK IMAAN SIGNS OF WEAK IMAAN 1) Committing sins and not feeling any guilt. 2) Having a hard heart and no desire to read the Quran. 3) Feeling too lazy to do
good deeds, e.g. being late for salat 4) Neglecting the Sunnah. 5) Having mood swings, for instance being upset about petty things and bothered and irritated most of the time.
6) Not feeling anything when hearing verses from the Quran, for example when Allah warns us of punishments and His promise of glad tidings. 7) Finding difficulty in remembering Allah and making dhikr. 8)
Not feeling bad when things are done against the Shariah. 9) Desiring status and wealth. 10) Being mean and miserly, i.e. not wanting to part with wealth. 11) Ordering others to do good deeds when not practising them ourselves. 12) Feeling pleased when things are not progressing for others. 13) Being concerned with whether something is haram or halal only; and not avoiding makroo (not recommended) things. 14) Making fun of people who do simple good deeds, like cleaning the mosque. 15) Not feeling concerned about the situation of Muslims. 16) Not feeling the responsibility to do something to promote Islam. 17) Being unable
to deal with calamities, for instance crying and yelling in funerals. 18) Liking to argue just for the sake of arguing without any proof. 19) Becoming engrossed and very involved with dunya, worldly things, i.e. feeling bad only when losing something
in terms of material wealth. 20) Becoming engrossed and obsessive about ourselves. LISTED BELOW ARE WAYS TO INCREASE OUR IMAAN 1) Recite and ponder on the meanings of the Quran. Tranquility then descends and our hearts become soft. To get optimum benefit, remind yourself that Allah is speaking to you. People are described in different categories in the Quran; think of which one you find yourself in. 2) Realize the greatness of Allah. Everything is under His control. There are signs in everything we see that points us to His greatness. Everything happens according to His permission. Allah keeps track and looks after everything, even a black ant on a black rock on a black moonless night. 3) Make an effort to gain knowledge, for at least the basic things in daily life e.g. how to make wudu properly.
Know the meanings behind Allah's names and attributes. People who have taqwa are those who have knowledge. 4) Attend gatherings where Allah is remembered. In such
gatherings we are surrounded by angels. 5) We have to increase our good deeds. One good deed leads to another good deed. Allah will make the way easy for someone who gives charity and also make it easy for him or her to do good deeds. Good deeds must be done continuously, not in spurts. 6) We must fear the miserable end to our lives; the remembrance of death is the destroyer of pleasures. 7) Remember the different levels of akhirah, for instance when we are put in our graves, when we are judged, whether we will be in paradise or hell. 8) Make dua, realize that we need Allah. Be humble. Don't covet material things in this life. 9) Our love for Subhana Wa Ta'Ala must be shown in actions. We must hope Allah will accept our prayers, and be in constant fear that we do wrong. At night before going to sleep, we must think about what good we did during that day. 10) Realize the effects of sins and disobedience- one's imaan is increased with good deeds and our imaan is decreased by bad deeds. Everything that happens is because Allah wanted it. When calamity befalls us- it is also from Allah. It is a direct result of our disobedience to Allah."KEEP THIS CIRCULATING - IT WILL HELP US BECOME BETTER MUSLIMS, INSHA - ALLAH" All praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of everything that exists.The most Gracious, the Most Merciful.Master of the Day of Judgment You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help.Guide us to the Straight Way The Way of of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor those who went astray.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] 10 Ideas 4 Ramadan at Your Workplace
10 ideas for Ramadan at your workplace If work is simply the place you earn your bread and punch in your hours, why not redefine it this Ramadan? Make your workplace the scenario for Dawa, especially in the current tension-filled atmosphere of misunderstandings about Islam and Muslims. Here are some ideas that can help you share Ramadan with your boss and coworkers this year. 1. Begin informing people about it as soon as possible Start telling bosses, supervisors and coworkers about Ramadan now. Bring it up in the course of conversation casually. In terms of when Ramadan starts and ends, just give the projected date (i.e. for Ramadan this year, it's November 6th). Don't get non-Muslims involved in the technicalities of
finding out the correct date. Do the same for Eid. You can decide for yourself which date to start and stop fasting on. 2. Post it up On your office or department bulletin board, put up a factsheet on Ramadan, with a short introduction of yourself and which department you are from. Don't just give the facts, but also include a few sentences about what this blessed month means to you (i.e. spiritual growth, closeness to God, being more generous, etc.). 3. Get an article printed in your local newspaper and circulate copies This will not only be good Dawa - it may even promote department/company pride (i.e. one of our employees is a writer too!). Post it up with the masthead of the newspaper on top. 4. Negotiate your lunch hour with the boss This is another
task that needs to be done as soon as possible. Explain that you will need a short break for prayer and then you will take lunch break at Iftar time. 5. Talk to the office cafeteria people about your Iftar needs If you normally buy lunch at the cafeteria, explain to the cafeteria staff that you would like to arrange to have your lunch saved for Iftar time. Ask them to keep one serving of lunch in the fridge so you can pick it up at Iftar time. 6. Create a "Ramadan corner" at your desk If you have your own desk at work, dedicate a corner of it that is accessible to passersby the "Ramadan corner". Put a basket of dates, sweets, written information on Ramadan and maybe a small frame of eye-catching Islamic calligraphy on it. Post a note inviting coworkers to the free sweets and information. 7.
Have a small Iftar gathering at your desk Invite coworkers to a snack of dates and fresh fruits during Iftar time. At least once, have a more formal meal ready for everyone (check with your boss before you do this). 8. Distribute written material on Ramadan If you've got a central location in your workplace where people can pick up free newspapers, get permission to stack afactsheet and pamphlets on Ramadan. You can also leave the sheets on the Ramadan corner of your desk. 9. Get a Ramadan greeting from your boss Have your boss, commanding officer or head of the department issue a public notification that Ramadan is coming up or
is here and they and the company congratulates all Muslim employees on this occasion. 10. Put an article about Ramadan in the office newsletter If you have a company or department newsletter, write up a personal article about why you are looking forward to Ramadan and what Ramadan is. Then arrange for them to publish it.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] What is Ramadan?
The Meaning of Ramadan FASTING during Ramadan was ordained during the second year of Hijra. Why not earlier? In Makkah the economic conditions of the Muslims were bad. They were being persecuted. Often days would go by before they had anything to eat. It is easy to skip meals if you don't have any. Obviously fasting would have been easier under the circumstances. So why not then? The answer may be that Ramadan is not only about skipping meals. While fasting is an integral and paramount part of it, Ramadan offers a comprehensive program for our spiritual overhaul. The entire program required peace and security that was offered by Madinah. Yes, Ramadan is the most important month of the year. It is the month that the believers await with eagerness. At the beginning of Rajab two full months before Ramadan the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to supplicate thus : "O Allah! Bless us during Rajab and Sha'ban, and let us reach Ramadan (in good health)." During Ramadan the believers get busy seeking Allah's mercy, forgiveness, and protection from Hellfire. This is the month for renewing our commitment and re-establishing our relationship with our Creator. It is the spring season for goodness and virtues when righteousness blossoms throughout the Muslim communities. If we combine all the blessings of the other 11 months, they would not add up to the blessings of Ramadan. It offers every Muslim an opportunity to strengthen his Iman, purify his heart and soul, and to remove the evil effects of the sins committed by him. "Any one who fasts during this month with purity of belief and with expectation of a good reward (from his Creator), will have his previous sins forgiven," said Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He further said: "Anyone who stands in prayers during its nights with purity of belief and expectation of a reward, will have his previous sins forgiven." As other Ahadith tell us, the rewards for good deeds are multiplied manifold during Ramadan. Along with the possibility of a great reward, there is the risk of a terrible loss. If we let any other month pass by carelessly, we just lost a month. If we do the same during Ramadan, we have lost everything. The person who misses just one day's fast without a legitimate reason cannot really make up for it even if he were to fast everyday for the rest of his life. And of the three persons that Prophet (peace be upon him) cursed, one is the unfortunate Muslim who finds Ramadan in good health but does not use the opportunity to seek Allah's mercy. One who does not fast is obviously in this category, but so also is the person who fasts and prays but makes no effort to stay away from sins or attain purity of the heart through numerous opportunities offered by Ramadan. The Prophet (peace be upon him) warned us: "There are those who get nothing from their fast but hunger and thirst. There are those who get nothing from their nightly prayers but loss of sleep." In addition to fasting, mandatory Salat, and extra Traweeh prayer, Muslims should spend the whole month in acts of worship like voluntary prayers, recitation of Qur'an, Dhikr etc. After mentioning that this has been the tradition of the pious people of this Ummah throughout the centuries, Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi notes: "I have seen with my own eyes such ulema and mashaikh who used to finish recitation of the entire Qur'an everyday during Ramadan. They spent almost the entire night in prayers. They used to eat so little that one wondered how could they endure all this. These greats valued every moment of Ramadan and would not waste any of it in any other pursuit...Watching them made one believe the astounding stories of Ibada and devotion of our elders recorded by history." This emphasis on these acts of worship may sound strange even misplaced to some. It requires some explanation. We know that the term Ibada (worship and obedience) in Islam applies not only to the formal acts of worship and devotion, but it also applies to worldly acts when performed in obedience to Shariah and with the intention of pleasing Allah. Thus a believer going to work is performing Ibada when he seeks Halal income to discharge his responsibility as a bread-winner for the family. However a distinction must be made between the two. The first category consists of direct Ibada, acts that are required for their own sake. The second category consists of indirect Ibada worldly acts that become Ibada through proper intention and observation of Shariah. While the second category is important for it extends the idea of Ibada to our entire life, there is also a danger because by their very nature these acts can camouflage other motives. (Is my going to work really Ibada or am I actually in the rat race?). Here the direct Ibada comes to the rescue. Through them we can purify our motives, and re-establish our relationship with Allah. Islam does not approve of monasticism. It does
Boycott Israel [IslamCity] BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS 1. No BreakfastPeople who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration. 2. Overeating It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power. 3. Smoking It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease. 4. High Sugar consumptionToo much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.5. Air Pollution The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency. 6. Sleep Deprivation Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells. 7. Head covered while sleeping Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects. 8. Working your brain during illness Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain. 9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage. 10. Talking Rarely Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain --- The main causes of liver damage are: 1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.2. Not urinating in the morning.3. Too much eating. 4.Skipping breakfast. 5.Consuming too much medication.6.Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener. 7.Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit. 8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule." Because: Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health. Evening at 11pm - 1am: is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state. Early morning 1 - 3am: detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state. Early morning 3 - 5am: detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process. Morning 5 - 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Serve Islam.
Assalaamualaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhuh!"Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah (i.e. follows Allahs Religion of islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin (good-doer i.e. performs good deeds totally for Allahs sake only without any show off or to gain praise or fame, etc., and in accordance with the Sunnah of Allahs Messenger Muhammad Peace be upon him ) then his reward is with his Lord (Allah), on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve." (Sura Baqarah: #112) How toServe Islam 1 SERVE ISLAM: By having a correct
resolve and sincere intention, for Allaah blesses an action that is do:ne sincerely for His sake alone, even if it is little. Sincere devotion, if it becomes a constant feature of acts of worship and obedience, even if they are small or simple in the sight of the one who does them, makes them great in the sight of Allaah, so Allaah will forgive him for major sins because of that, as it says in the hadeeth about the piece of paper on which is written La ilaaha ill-Allaah.2 SERVE ISLAM:By knowing the right way and following it. The Straight Path means following the way of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with regard to the principles, ways and means of dawah and being patient in adhering to that, whilst treating people with kindness and compassion, because they are suffering from the disease of sin.3 SERVE ISLAM:By making the most of all available means
and circumstances. This is a great blessing, for all means are permissible except those which have been forbidden by Allaah. So we call people to Allaah by all means prescribed in shareeah, whilst paying attention to the evidence of shareeah and correct etiquette.4 SERVE ISLAM:By giving precedence to that which is in the interests of Islam over your own whims and desires. Serving this religion means giving what is most precious of your money, effort, time, thought, etc. Have you not seen those who love sport (football or soccer) for example, how they devote their efforts, time and money to their beloved sport? But more is expected of you than that.5 SERVE ISLAM:By following in the footsteps of the scholars, daaiyahs and reformers, having patience as your companion and putting up with tiredness and exhaustion. For you are doing a great act of worship which is the mission of the
Prophets and Messengers and those who follow in their footsteps.6 SERVE ISLAM:By shunning laziness, weakness and apathy, for this religion is the religion of resolve, ambition and courage, and its call is only harmed by laziness or reckless ignorance.7 SERVE ISLAM:By connecting your heart to Allaah and reciting a lot of duaa and prayers for forgiveness, and persisting in reading Quraan. There is nothing that is more effective in cleansing the heart and refreshing the soul, and making it active and energetic so that it will not get tired or bored, than remembering Allaah much and drawing nearer to Him by means of obeying Him and doing naafil (supererogatory) acts of worship.8 SERVE ISLAM:By forming bonds with scholars who practice what they preach, those who are known to be sincere and who are well established in jihad and supporting this
religion. Marching under their banner and following their lead is very good and beneficial.9 SERVE ISLAM:By organizing your time on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. There are actions which should be done every day, others which should be done every week, and others which should be done every month or every year.For example, you should make dawah to those whom you see every day and to those whom you see once a week. You may have a family gathering once a month, and there may be annual conferences, or journeys for Hajj or Umrah once a year, and so on.10 SERVE ISLAM:By paying it some attention and giving it some of your time, thoughts and money, and making it your main concern. So when you stand up, it is for Islam; when you walk, it is for Islam; when you think, it is for Islam;
when you give, it is for Islam; when you sit, it is for Islam.11 SERVE ISLAM:By hastening to contribute every time you find an opportunity to do good. Do not hesitate or delay or put it off.All praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of everything that exists.The most Gracious, the Most Merciful.Master of the Day of Judgment You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help.Guide us to the Straight Way The Way of of those on whom You have
bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor those who went astray. Ameen

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Rajab
Fazilat of Fasting In the Month of Rajab: Rajab marks the beginning of the spiritual season of every believer ending with the end of the fasting month of Ramadan with the Eid Al-Fitr. These three months are unmatched in their importance. Praise be to the Almighty and thanks to Him for granting us yet another
opportunity to cleanse ourselves of our sins and oversights.The Holy Prophet (SAW) has said:"Rajab is a great month of Allah, unmatched by any other month in the respect and significance (accorded to it); war with the infidels during this month is prohibited; Verily, Rajab is Allah's month, Sha'aban my month and Ramadan the month of my Ummah; whosoever fasts a day in the month of Rajab will be granted the great reward of Ridwan (an angel in heaven); the wrath of Allah shall be distanced and a door of the Hell shall be closed."Fasting is one of the most recommended acts during this spiritual season. It becomes Wajib during the month of Ramadan, but is highly recommended during the months of Rajab and Sha'baan. As will be noted from the Hadith above and others to follow, fasting, be it for only one day during these months, is rewarded with untold bounties. Hadrat
Salmaan Farsi narrates that the Final messenger of Allah (SAW) said that there is a day in the month of Rajab on which if a person fasts and does Qiyaamul Lail (night vigil) on that night, he will receive rewards like a person who fasts for 100 years and does Qiyaamul Lail for nights of 100 years. This night is the night of the 27th (Rajab) and the day of the 27th (Rajab). This is the day on which Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) was appointed to Messenger hood, (Ghuniyatut Talibeen, Tarteeb Shareef page 781).Hadrat Salmaan narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) said "O Salmaan, there is no Mumin (True Believer) and Muminah (Truly Believing Female) who performs 30 Raka'ah in the month of Rajab and in each Raka'ah recites Surah Al-Faatihah once, Surah Al-Ikhlaas 3 times, and Surah Al-Kafiroon 3 times that Allah does forgive them their sins and bestows rewards upon them as upon a person who has fasted a whole month. He becomes among
those who will be steadfast in their Salaat in the year which is to come. For him the deeds of the day are equal to that of the martyr. He will be raised with the Martyrs of the Holy Battle of Badr. For him is written for the fast of each day, one year's worship. His station is raised 1000 times higher. If he fasts the entire month of Rajab and he performs this (Above) Salaat, Allah will give him salvation from the Hell Fire, make Waajib for him, His Paradise and bestow His Nearness upon him. Hadrat Jibreel informed me "O Muhammad this is the sign between you and the Mushrikeen (Polytheists) and the Munaafiqeen (Hypocrites) because the Munafiq does not perform this Salaat."Hadrat Salmaan says, I beseeched "O Rasoolallah tell me when and how shall I perform this Salaat (Prayer)" He said "O Salmaan, perform 10 Raka'ah on the first of it (month of Rajab) and in each Raka'ah recite Surah Al-Faatihah once, Surah Al-Ikhlaas thrice and
Surah Al-Kafiroon thrice and after you do your Salaam (at the end of the Salaat) raise your hands and say: "There is no God but Allah, The One Who has no partners. To Him belong all His kingdom and all the praise, Who created life and death and Who is Alive without Death. From His hands (only) good is done and Who has Power over everything. Dearest Allah, no one can stop what You bestow and no one can give what You prevent. There is no one who can profit us except You the August among all." Then spread your hands over your face.All praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of everything that exists.The most Gracious, the Most Merciful.Master of the Day of Judgment You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help.Guide us to the Straight Way The Way of of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor those who went astray.

[IslamCity] The Most Beloved To Allaah and His Messenger (pbuh)
The Most Beloved To Allaah and His Messenger (pbuh)1. "The most beloved fast according to Allah is the fast of Dawud; he would fast every alternate day. The mostbeloved prayer according to Allah is the prayer of Dawud; he would sleep half the night, stand a third and thensleep for a sixth."[Agreed upon]2. "The most beloved of deeds according to Allah are the continuous ones, even if they are little." [Agreed upon]3. "The most beloved of deeds according to Allah are the prayer in its right time, then to treat the parents in an excellent manner, and then Jihad in the path of Allah."[Agreed upon]4. The most beloved prayer to the Prophet (pbuh) was the one that was done regularly (throughout the life) even if it were little. And whenever the Prophet offered a prayer he used to offer it regularly ."[Bukhari]5."The most beloved word
according to me is that which is most truthful."[Bukhari]6.The most beloved mountain to the Prophet (pbuh) was Uhud. [Bukhari]7."The most beloved to me amongst you is the one who has the best character and manners." [Bukhari]8.The most beloved people to the Prophet (pbuh) were the Ansaar. The Prophet stood up and said thrice, "By Allah! You( the Ansaar) are from
the most beloved people to me." [Bukhari]9.The most beloved garment to the Prophet to wear was the Hibra (a kind of Yemenese cloth). [Bukhari]10."The most beloved words according to Allah the Most High are four: Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah and Allahu Akbar; there is no problem with which one you start with." [Muslim]11. "The most beloved of speech according to Allah is when the servant says, 'Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi' How Transcendent is Allah and we praise him!]."[Muslim]12. "The most beloved of speech according to Allah the Most High is that which Allah chose for his Angels: Subhana Rabbi wa bihamdihi, Subhana Rabbi wa bihamdihi, Subhana Rabbi wa bihamdihi." [Tirmidhi, Sahih]13."The most beloved of religions according to Allah the Most High is the 'easy and flexible religion.'" [Ahmad, Hasan]14."The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deedsaccording to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brotherMuslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishesthat for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip. Indeed, bad
character ruins deedsjust as vinegar ruins honey." [Tabarani, Hasan]15. "The most beloved deed according to Allah is to have faith in Allah, then to maintain the ties of kinship, and then to command to good and forbid the wrong. The most abhorrent of deeds according to Allah is to associatepartners with Him, then to cut the ties of kinship."

Sleeping on the right side
Lying down can be on the back, on the abdomen, on the left or right side. Which of these positions is the best for the functioning of the organs?
When lying on the abdomen, as Dr Attar says, a person will feel after a while short of breath as the backbones¡¯ mass prevents the chest from contracting and then relaxing during inhalation and exhalation. Moreover this position leads to an obligatory bending in the neck vertebras. Also, the contact of the reproductive organs with the bed leads to masturbation.
The resulting respiratory crisis results in brain and heart fatigue as well.An Australian researcher noticed the increase in the likelihood of babies¡¯ sudden death when they sleep on their stomach compared to those who sleep on one of the sides. It is inimitable that these modern studies agree with what our prophet said as narrated by Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him): ¡°When the prophet (peace be upon him) saw a man lying on his front, He said (Allah and his prophet dislike this position in lying) ¡± (Reported by Al-Tirmdhi)
Another Hadith is the one narrated by Abu Umama (May Allah be pleased with him) he said: ¡° When the Prophet (peace be upon him) passed a man sleeping on his front in the mosque he hit him with his feet and said: wake up and seat as this is a diabolic sleep¡±
Lying on the back, on the other hand, causes the respiration to be through the mouth. Dr Attar sees that the mouth opens up when lying on back as the inferior jaw relaxes.
However, the nose is the one prepared for respiration, as it contains hairs and mucous that act to purify the air entering during inspiration and as it has dense blood vessels that make the entering air warmer.
Respiration through the mouth then makes the person prone to colds, especially in the winter, and also to gum dryness and its resulting inflammation.
As well as it evokes potential situations of dissemble excess or gumic hugely.
So these positions the jaw and uvula oppose the wideness of nose and prevents current of breath.
So snoring will increase.
Moreover, in this case, the person wakes up with an abnormal white layer covering hª¬_«® is tongue and an undesirable mouth odour.
Sleeping on the left side is not favoured either, as the heart would be then under the
[IslamCity] This is Good ALLAH Almighty Knows Best
*The Story of an African King and His Friend * A story is told about a King in Africa who had a close friend that he grew up with. The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life (positive or
negative) by remarking, "This is good, Allah Almighty knows best" One day the King and his friend were out on a hunting expedition. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the King. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the King fired it and his thumb was blown off. Examining the situation the friend remarked as usual, "This is good! Allah Almighty
knows best." To which the King replied, "No, this is NOT good!" and ordered his soldiers to put his friend into jail. About a year later, the King was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured the King and took him to their village. They tied his hands, stacked some wood, set up a stake and bound him to t! he stake. As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the King was missing a thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone who was less than whole. So after untying the King, they chased him out of the village. When the King reached his Palace, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb and felt remorse for his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend. "You were right" the King said, "it was good that my thumb was blown off." And he proceeded to tell the friend all that had just happened. "I am very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this." "No," his friend replied, "this is good...Allah Almighty knows best" "What do you mean, 'this is good'! How could it be good that I sent my friend to jail for a year?" The King's friend replied: "Remember that the Almighty knows best and if I had NOT been in jail, I would have been with you on that hunting trip.""He knows what is before them And what is behind them: And to Allah go back All questions (for decision)" Qur'an:Surah Al Hajj 22:76Do Not Judge Things or Events by its Immediate Outcome! Almighty, the Most High, is the All-Knowledgable, the All-Knower... He chooses to show us things... but sometimes... we are not shown the wisdom behind somethings. When we are confronted by circumstances that are not very pleasing we are quick to say: "This is not good..." but... is it really? We might not
know the purpose behind it. It might turn to be a good thing thus.. .when we are faced with any situation... do not be too quick to judge... always remember this life is a test... the good and the bad and there is nothing that happens for no reason... our brains are just not gifted enough to understand these reasons yet. Sometimes ... things happen to us for a reason.Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: *Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When Allah created the creation He put down **in his Book, which is with Him upon the Throne: Verily, My mercy predominates My
wrath.*Hadith number in Sahih Muslim [Arabic only]: 4939; English: Book 37, Number 6626 All praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of everything that exists.The most Gracious, the Most Merciful.Master of the Day of Judgment

[IslamCity] Man Without his 2 front teeth
Assalam alaikum,His name was Abu Ubaida ibn al-Jarrah and he was the ninth person toaccept Islam. Participating in all of the battles led by ProphetMuhammad, during the first two caliphates he was the commander of anarmy in Syria and Iraq.An incidet occurred at the battle of Uhud which explains the title ofthis e-mail. Abu Bakr said, "The Prophet was injured in the battle of Uhud. A couple of links fromhis own helmet had pierced through his forehead, which was bleeding. Iran towards him, and then suddenly, what I should see but a friendrunning towards him from the east. He raced him before me and I sawthat it was the self-sacrificing Abu `Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah. He requested that I should give him the honor of removing the linksfrom the helmet. With great care and at the same time with
great forcehe lost a tooth in the process. Then without bothering about the painhe must be suffering, again he held on to the other link with histeeth and exerted force. As the other link came out, he lost anothertooth as well. Thus two of his teeth were sacrificed, but his belovedProphet was found relieved and comfortable. t seemed as if he looked even more handsome and graceful than beforewith the loss of his two from teeth, because it was done for the loveof the Prophet. All the other companions used to look at him withenvious eyes. There the only criterion for judging the worth of aperson was the extent to which he was willing to sacrifice himself forthe Prophet." [Ref: Ghandanfar, Commanders of the Muslim Army]NB. One of the customs of the Arabs in that era was to have a gapbetween their front two teeth. It was considered a sign of beauty. Thecomment
in the quote about him looking more beautiful doesn't relateto this custom of having a gap between ones front teeth, but morebecause of the reason it was done i.e. to help remove the links fromthe helmet.May Allah Almighty have mercy and bless us all with good health, peaceof heart, and integrity in all that we do, ameen.All praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of everything that exists.The most Gracious, the Most Merciful.Master of the Day of Judgment You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help.Guide us to the Straight Way The Way of of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor those who went astray.

[IslamCity] The Virtues of the Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah
Bismillah hir Rehman nir RahimThe Virtues of the Ten Days of Dhul HijjahAmong the special seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, which Allaah has preferred over all
the other days of the year. Ibn Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these ten days." The people asked, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah?" He said, "Not even
jihaad for the sake of Allaah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2/457).Ibn Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) also reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There is no deed more precious in the sight of Allaah, nor greater in reward, than a good deed done during the ten days of Sacrifice." He was asked, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah?" He said, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing." (Reported by al-Daarimi, 1/357; its isnaad is hasan as stated in al-Irwaa, 3/398).This season of worship brings many benefits, such as
the opportunity to correct ones faults and make up for any shortcomings or anything that one might have missed. The happy person is the one who makes the most of these special months, days and hours and draws nearer to his Lord during these times through acts of worship; he will most likely be touched by the blessing of Allaah and will feel the joy of knowing that he is safe from the flames of Hell. (Ibn Rajab, al-Lataaif, p.8)The Muslim must understand the value of his life, increase his worship of Allaah and persist in doing good deeds until the moment of death. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty." [al-Hijr 15:99] The mufassireen (commentators) said: "The certainty means death." The Types of Worship to be Performed During these Ten DaysOne must understand that these days are a great blessing from Allaah to His slave, which is appreciated properly by the actively righteous. It is the Muslims duty to appreciate this blessing and make the most of the opportunity, by devoting these
ten days to paying more attention to striving hard in worship. Among His blessings to His slaves, Allaah has given us many ways in which to do good and worship Him, so that the Muslim may be constantly active and consistent in his worship of his Lord. Among the good deeds which the Muslim should strive to do during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are: Fasting. It is Sunnah to fast on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) urged us to do good deeds during this time, and fasting is one of the best of deeds. Allaah has chosen fasting for Himself, as is stated in the hadeeth qudsi: "Allaah says: All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him, except for fasting, which is for Me and I am the One Who will reward him for it." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 1805).The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah. Hunaydah ibn Khaalid reported from his wife that some of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah, on the day of Aashooraa, on three days of each month, and on the first two Mondays and Thursdays of each month." (Reported by al-Nisaai, 4/205 and by Abu Dawud; classified by al-Albaani as saheeh in Saheeh Abi Dawud, 2/462). Azkaar. It is Sunnah to say Takbeer ("Allaahu
akbar"), Tahmeed ("Al-hamdu Lillaah"), Tahleel ("La ilaha ill-Allaah") and Tasbeeh ("Subhaan Allaah") during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and to say it loudly in the mosque, the home, the street and every place where it is permitted to remember Allaah and mention His name out loud, as an act of worship and as a proclamation of the greatness of Allaah, may He be exalted. Men should recite these phrases out loud, and women should recite them quietly. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "That they might witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e., reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade, etc.), and mention the name of Allaah on appointed days, over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice)..." [al-Hajj 22:28] The majority of scholars agree that the "appointed days" are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, because of the words of Ibn Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father): "The appointed days are the first ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah)." The Takbeer

1. Give Allah what's right -- not what's left. 2. Man's way leads to a hopeless end -- Allah's way leads to an endless hope. 3. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing. 4.

Don't put a question mark where Allah puts a full stop. 7. Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the mosque for a face-lift. 8. When praying, don't give Allah instructions -- just report for duty.
9. Don't wait for six strong men to take you to the mosque. 10. We don't change Allah's message -- His message changes us. 11. The mosque is prayer-conditioned. 12. When Allah ordains, He sustains. 13. WARNING: Exposure to the Allah may prevent burning. 14. Plan ahead -- It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. 15. Most people want to serve Allah, but only in an advisory position. 16. Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your Koran. 17. Exercise daily -- walk with Allah.
18. Never give the devil a ride -- he will always want to drive. 19. Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it. 20. Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back. 21. He who angers you controls you.

[IslamCity] Why Muslims bury dead bodies
Q. Why do Muslims bury dead bodies instead of cremating them, i.e. burning them?1. Components of human body present in the soilElements that are present in the human body are present in lesser or greater quantity in the soil. Hence it is more scientific to bury a dead body, as it easily gets decomposed and mixed in the soil. 2. No PollutionCremating (burning) the dead body leads to pollution of the atmosphere which is detrimental to health and harmful for the environment. There is no such pollution caused by burying a dead body.3. Surrounding land becomes
fertileTo cremate a dead body several trees have to be chopped, which reduces the greenery and harms the environment and the ecology. When dead bodies are buried, besides the trees being saved, the surrounding land becomes fertile and it improves the environment. 4. EconomicalIt is expensive to cremate a dead body when tons of wood have to be burned. Annually there is a loss of crores of rupees, only because dead bodies are cremated in India. Burying dead bodies is very cheap. It hardly costs any money. 5. Same land can be utilized for burying another bodyThe wood used for cremating a dead body cannot be reutilized for cremating another dead body since it gets converted to ashes. The land used for burying a dead body can be reutilized for burying another body
after a few years since the human body gets decomposed and mixed in the soil.

[IslamCity] Six Days of Shawwal Sunnah Fasting
Fwd Email.. Assalaamualaykum warahmatulahi wabarakatuhuh The person who guides to what is good shall have the same reward as the one who performs that (good). [Muslim #020, Hadith #4665] With Ramadhan over, we should be continuing our good deeds and actions. The spirit of Ramadhan should be our energy, momentum, and strength for the rest of the year!! Let us be consistent, for those are the ones that Allah loves. Six Days of Shawwal Sunnah Fasting Aboo Ayyoob al-Ansaaree narrated: Prophet Muhummad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said: "He who fasts Ramadhaan, and six of Shawwaal, it will be (in terms of rewards) as if the fasted a whole year." (Muslim) One of the ways to in showing our loving of Allah, by following the ProphetMuhummad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)is to do those acts that he (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) advised his Companions, and the Ummah in general, to do. A sunnah which is certainly relevant to us in these days is his (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) practice to fast six days in the month of Shawwal. When to Fast? Fast 6 days consecutively following Eid-ul-Fitr as soon as you can. If you are unable to, fast 6 days consecutively during anytime of the month. If you areunable to fast consecutively, fast any 6 days during Shawwal. In the Spirit of Ramadan On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: Allah says: Fasting is Mine and it I who give reward for it. [A man] gives up his sexual passion, his food and his drink for my sake. Fasting is like a shield, and he who fasts has two joys: a joy whin he breaks his fast and a joy when he meets his Lord. The change in the breath of the mouth of him who fasts is better in Allah's estimation than the smell of musk. (Bukhari) Fasting: Health Spiritual Benefits Physiological effects of fasting: Lowering of blood sugar Lowering of cholesterol Lowering of the systolic blood pressure Psychological Effects of Fasting: Inner Peace and Tranquility Controlling one's emotions such as anger, frustration, and aggression More time for personal reflection and prayer The Spirtual and Health Benefits of Fasting http://www.islamfortoday.com/athar07.htm Recommended Sunnah Fasts Fast the 13th, 14th, 15th of every month Abu Zharr al-Ghafari reported: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)ordered us to fast for three days of every month--that is, on the days of the full moon (the 13th, 14th, and 15th of the lunar month). And he said: 'It is like fasting the whole year.' " (An-Nassai) Fast Mondays and Thursdays of every week Abu Hurairah reported that the most the Prophet would fast would be Monday and Thursday. He was asked about that and he said: "The actions are presented on every Monday and Thursday. Allah forgives every Muslim or every believer, except for those who are boycotting each other. He says [about them]: 'Leave them.' " This is related by Ahmad with a sahih chain. It is recorded in Sahih Muslim that the Prophet, when asked about fasting on Monday, said: "That is the day on which I was born and the day on which I received revelations." Narrated Abu Huraira: A man used to eat much, but when he embraced Islam, he started eating less. That was mentioned to the Prophet who then said, "A believer eats in one intestine (is satisfied with a little food) and a Kafir eats in seven intestines (eats much)." [Bukhari#65, Hadith #309] Making Up Fasts for Others Narrated 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Whoever died and he ought to have fasted (the missed days of Ramadan) then his guardians must fast on his behalf." [Bukhari Volume 3, Book 31, Number 173] Events: 1. Hadhrat Aisha Siddiqah (may Allah be pleasedwith her) was born in Shawwal, 4 years after Prophethood and 9 years before Hijrah. 2. Hadhrat Aisha Siddiqah (may Allah be pleasedwith her) was married to Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) in Shawwal, 10 years after Prophethood which is 3 years before Hijrah.3. The fight between Banu Qaynaqaa took place between the battle of Badr and Uhud, Shawwal 2 A.H. after Hijrah.4. The battle of Uhud also took place in Shawwaal, three years after Hijrah. 5. Hadhrat Hussain (may Allah be pleasedwith him) Holy Prophet's grandson (son of Hadhrat Fatima, may Allah be pleased with her) was born in the month of Shawwaal 4 years after Hijrah. 6. The Holy Prophet married Hadhrat Umme Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) in Shawwal in the 4 year after Hijrah. 7.

[IslamCity] AQEEDAH OF THE GREAT 4 IMAAMS
Email by:faith hope 4 peace AQEEDAH OF THE GREAT 4 IMAAMS Imaam Abu Hanifah (Rahimahullah): When Imaam Abu Haneefah (Rahimahullah) was asked of his opinion of the one who says I do not know whether Allaah (Subhaanahu wa ta'aala) is above the heavens or on the earth, Imaam Abu Haneefah (Rahimahullah) said: He has disbelieved, because Allah (Subhaanahu wa ta'aala) says: "The Most Merciful rose above the Throne", and His Throne is above His (Subhaanahu wa ta'aala) seven heavens. He was then asked, what if he said that Allah (Subhaanahu wa ta'aala) is above His (Subhaanahu wa ta'aala) Throne but he does not know whether the Throne is in the heavens or on the earth he said, he has disbelieved, because he has denied that He (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) is above the heavens. [Quoted in Al-Uluww of Adh-Dhahabi, also in Sharh Aqeedah At-Tahawiyyah of Ibn Abi Al-Izz Al-Hanafi] Imaam Abu Haneefah (Rahimahullah) also said, "He is something (shay'un) but not like other things, and the meaning of Shay'un is affirmed without affirming a body, limbs or organs. And He has no limit and no partner or opposite, and no similitude. And He has a Hand, a Face and a Self. As for what is mentioned in the Quran: the Face, the Hand, the Self (Nafs) then these are His Attributes without asking how. And it is not said that His Hand is His Power (Qudra) or Favour (Ni'ma) because this contains nullification of the Attribute, and this is the saying of the People of Qadr (Jabariyyah) and the Mu'tazila. Rather His Hand is His Attribute without asking how, and His Anger (Gadb) and Pleasure (Ridaa) are two Attributes without asking How." [Quoted in Fiqh al-Akbar' Page #.36-37] Imaam Malik Bin Anas (Rahimahullah): Imaam Malik (Rahimahullah) said when replying to the one who asked, 'How did Allah make Istawaa? (Ascension above the Throne), "Al-Istawaa is Known, and its how is unknown, to have faith in it is obligatory, and to question it is an innovation." Then he said to the questioner, "I do not think except that you are an innovator" and he ordered him to be expelled. [Quoted in Al-Asmaa was Sifaat' Page #.516] It is related by Al-Harawi from Imaam Ash-Shafiee, that he said, Imaam Malik was asked about kalaam (Theological rhetoric) and Tawheed, so Malik said, "It is foolishness to think about the Prophet (Sal-Allahu 'alayhe wa sallam), that he taught this Ummah about istinjaa (cleaning after relieving oneself), but he did not teach them Tawheed. And Tawheed is what the Prophet (Sal-Allahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said: "I was commanded to fight the people until they say: There is no Deity worthy of worship besides Allah." [Quoted in Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Imaam Muslim] Imaam Muhammad Idrees Ash-Shaf'iee (Rahimahullah) Imaam Ash- Shafiee (Rahimahullah) said: "The belief that I am upon, and I saw Our Companions, the Ashab-ul- Hadith (People of hadith) - like Imaam Malik and Sufyan and others - to be upon is: Affirming the testimony that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah (Subhaanahu wa ta'aala) and that Muhammad (Sal-Allahu 'alayhe wa sallam) is the Messenger of Allah. And that Allah (Subhaanahu wa ta'aala) is above His Throne, above His heaven. He comes close to His creation howsoever He Wills, and He (Subhaanahu wa ta'aala) Descends to the lowest heaven howsoever He Wills." [Quoted in 'Awn al-Ma'bood' (13/41), and ibn Abu Ya'la reports it in 'Tabaqaat al-Hanaabilaa' (1/283) with a chain of narration linked back to Imaam Ash-Shafi'ee.] Imaam Ash-Shafi'ee (Rahimahullah) said on another occasion: "To Allah (Subhaanahu wa ta'aala) belong Names and Attributes that occur in His Book and His Prophet informed to the nation. It is not possible for anyone to refute (radd) them. So the one who contradicts this after the evidence has been established against him then he is a kafir (disbeliever), and as for before the establishment of the proof then he is excused due to ignorance, because the knowledge of that cannot be attained through the intellect. So we affirm these Attributes and we negate tashbeeh (likening Allah (Subhaanahu wa ta'aala) to creation) as Allah (Subhaanahu wa ta'aala) negated it by saying, 'there is nothing like Him.'" [Quoted in 'Siyar A'laam an-Nubalaa' (10/80)] Imaam Ahmad Bin Hanbal (Rahimahullah) Imaam Ahmad (Rahimahullah) was asked: "Allah is above the seventh heaven, above His Throne, distinct from his creation, and His Power and Knowledge are in every place?" He (Rahimahullah) replied: "Yes, above the Throne and His Knowledge is in every place." [Quoted in Sharh Usool il-I`tiqaad] Imaam Ahmad (Rahimahullah) also said: "Do not blindly follow me, nor blindly follow Malik nor Shafi'ee nor Awza'ee, nor Thawree but take from where they took" [Quoted in Fulaani (p. 113) Ibn al-Qayyim in I'laam (2/302)] He (Rahimahullah) on a further occasion said: "Whoever rejects a statement of the Messenger of Allah (Sal-Allahu 'alayhe wa sallam) is on the brink of destruction." [Quoted by Ibn al-Jawzee Page # 182] Abu

[IslamCity] Ayat Al Kursi(Benifits)
Ayat al-Kursi is verse 255 of the second chapter (Surah) of the Holy Quran, Surat al-Baqarah (The Chapter of the Cow)
Below is the arabic text, followed by the transliteration in latin characters, followed by the English translation and then some of the benefits of reciting this verse, the Verse of the Throne.
Bismillaah ar-Rahman ar-RaheemAllahu la illaha illa huWal Hayyul QayyumLa te huzuhu sinetun wala nawmunLahu ma fissemawati wa ma fil'ardiMen thallathiy yeshfe'u indehu illa biznihYa'lemu ma beyne eydiyhimwa ma halfehumwa la yuhiytunebishey'in min ilmihiilla bima sha-a wasia kursiyyuhu semavati wal'ardWa la yeuduhu hifzuhuma wa hu wal aliy ul aziym
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.Allah! There is no God but He,the Living, the Self-subsisting, the Eternal.No slumber can seize Him, nor sleep.All things in heaven and earth are His.Who could intercede in His presence without His permission?He knows what appears in front of and behind His creatures.Nor can they encompass any knowledge of Him except what he wills.His throne extends over the heavens and the earth,and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them,for He is the Highest and Most Exalted.
1. Our Holy prophet (SAWW) has said: whoever recites the first 4 ayats of Surae Baqarah, then Ayatul Kursi and then the last 3 ayats of Surae Baqarah will not be inflicted with any kind of difficulty in his wealth or himself, Shaitaan will not come near him and he will not forget the Qur'an.
2. Imam Ali (AS) was told by our Holy Prophet:? Qur'an is a great word, and Surae Baqarah is the leader of the Qur'an and Ayatul Kursi is the leader of Surae Baqarah.? In Ayatul Kursi there are 50 words and for each word there are 50 blessings and good in it.
3. One who recites Ayatul Kursi every morning will be in the protection, safety of Allah until the night.
4. If one ties this to ones wealth or chidren, they will be safe from Shaitaan.
5. Our Holy Prophet (SAWW) has said:? These things increase ones memory; sweets, meat of an animal near the neck, Adas(Lentils), cold bread and recitation of Ayatul Kursi.
6. For those of our dear ones who have passed away, recitation of Ayatul Kursi and giving it as Hadiya to them, gives them light (noor) in the grave.
7. Frequent recitation makes ones own death easy.
8. When leaving home, if one recites it once, the Almighty has one group of Angels to come and protect you.? If recited twice, 2 groups of Angels are assigned to do this.? If recited 3 times Allah tells the Angels not to worry as the Almighty himself takes care of him.
9. The Holy Prophet has said: If one recites Ayatul Kursi before going to sleep, Allah will send an Angel to come and look after you and protect you till the morning.? His home, family and also neighbours will remain in safety until morning.
10. When one is alone in the home, recitation of Ayatul Kursi and asking Allah to help will make you remain calm and you will not fear.
11. The Holy Prophet has said: When leaving home,if one recites Ayatul Kursi the Allah will send 70,000 Angels to do Istighfaar for him until he returns home, and upon his return Poverty will be removed from him.
12. If one recites this after doing Wudhoo, the 5th Imam (AS) has said: Allah will give him a reward of 40 years of Ibadaat, his position will be raised in the Heavens 40 times (levels) and will marry him to 40 Horains.
13. One who recites it after every prayer, thier salaat will be accepted, they will remain in the safety of the Almighty and He will protect them.
14. Allah (SWT) told P.Musa (AS): If one recites it after every salaat, the Almighty will make his heart a thankful one(Shakireen), will give him a reward of the prophets, and his deeds will be like those of the truthful(Siddiqeen) and nothing except death will stop will stop him from going into heaven.
15. To increase light or vision (noor) in the eyes, recite Surae Alhamd once, then Ayatul Kursi and then once the following dua:-? "U-eedhu nora basaree binuril lahi alladhi la yutfaa",? "I seek refuge for the light of my eyes by the light of Allah(SWT), which does not become extinguished".

[IslamCity] Thin line between rumour truth
Thin line between rumour truth
Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you either hear, or are about to repeat a rumor.
Phiosopher Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day he came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."
"Triple filter?"
"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you're not certain it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.
Socrates continued. "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really"
Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?"
The man was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. All praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of everything that exists.The most Gracious, the Most Merciful.Master of the Day of Judgment You (alone) we worship,Guide us to the Straight Way The Way of of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor those who went astray.

[IslamCity] Prophet's sayings-On dogs and pictures
On dogs and picturesMother of believers Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Gabriel (peace be upon him) made a promise with Allah s Messenger (peace be uponhim) to come at a definite hour; that hour came but he did not visit him.And there was in his hand (in the hand of Allah s Apostle) a staff. He threw it from his hand and said: Never has Allah or His messengers (angels) ever broken their promise. Then he cast a glance (and by chance) found a puppyunder his cot and said: Aisha, when did this dog enter here? She said: By Allah, I don t know. He Allah s Messenger (peace be upon him) then commanded and it was turned out. Then Gabriel came and Allah s Messenger (peace beupon him) said to him: You promised me and I waited for you. But you did not come, whereupon he said: It was the dog in your house which prevented me (tocome), for we (angels) do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a
picture.Sahih Muslim, Book 024, Number 5246

[IslamCity] The Miracles of Prophet Muhammed Saw
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was granted many miracles by Allah (SWT) and some of them are as follows:1. The Holy Qur'an is the living miracle bestowed by Allah upon Prophet Muhammad and this, Allah's Book, was revealed to him through Jibraeel(as).Today 1400 years have passed and nobody has been able to change a single letter or produce its imitation, as it is said in the Qur an (See Surah Hijr, V.15:9) and the statement of the Prophet : "Before me, every Prophet was given a miracle and they practised it during their lifetime: e.g., 'Iesa (Jesus) used to cure the sick and make the dead alive, etc., Musa (Moses) was given the stick etc., and I have been given the permanent miracle of the Qur'an till the Hour is established, so I hope that my followers will be more in number than all the other Messengers' as my miracle will last till the Day of Resurrection, and it is a Glorious Book; when anyone reads it, even if he is a pagan, etc., he is convinced that it is produced by none but by the Creator of the heavens and the earth."2. The splitting of the moon: Narrated Anas, that the Makkans requested Allah's Messenger to show them a miracle, so he showed the splitting of the moon. ( See Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.4, Hadith No. 831).3. The crying of the stem of the date-palm tree in the Prophet's Mosque: Narrated Ibn 'Umar, that the prophet used to deliver his Khutba (religious talk) while leaning against a trunk of a date-palm tree. When he had the pulpit made and used it instead, the trunk started crying and the Prophet went to it, rubbing his hand over it (to stop its crying). (See Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.4, Hadith No. 783).4. The flowing of the water from among the fingers of Allah's Messenger (See Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.4, Hadith No. 779.)Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: I was with the Prophet and the time for the 'Asr prayer became due. We had no water with us except a little which was put in a vessel and was brought to perform ablution. The blessing is from Allah." I saw the water gushing out from his fingers. So the people performed the ablution and drank, and I tried to drink more of that water (beyond my thirst and capacity), for I knew that it was a blessing. The subnarrator said : I asked Jabir, "How many persons were you then?" He replied, " "We were one thousand four hundred men." (Salim said: Jabir said - 1500). (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.7, Hadith No. 543.)5. The Prophet's meals used to glorify Allah while he ate, and this glorification was heard by the companions of the Prophet (See Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.4, Hadith No. 779).6. Stones used to greet the Prophet whenever he passed by through the lanes of Makka.7. The throwing out of a dead body of a Christian by the earth: Narrated Anas: There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran and he used to write the revelation for the Prophet. Later on he reverted to Christianity and used to say, "Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him." Then Allah caused him to die and the people buried him but in the morning they found that the earth had thrown out his body. They said, "This is the deed of Muhammad and his companions. They have opened the grave of our companion and took his body out because he ran away from them," so they again dug the grave deeper for him, but in the morning they again found that the earth had thown the body out. They said, "This is a deed of Muhammad and his companions." So they dug a third grave for him as deep as they could, but in the morning they found that the earth had thrown the body out. Then they believed what had befallen him, was not done by mankind, and they had to leave the body on the ground. (See Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.4, Hadith No. 814).8. The screening (shading) by the trees, for the Prophet to answer the call of nature.9. The rising of water in the well at Hudaibiya after it had dried. (See Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4. Hadith No. 777).10. The increase in the amount of dates in the garden of Jabir bin 'Abdullah after the prophet went round the heaps of dates and invoked Allah for His Blessings. (See Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 780).11. Speaking of the wolf: I has been written that a wolf also spoke to one of the companions of the Prophet near Al-Madina, as narrated in Musnad of Ahmad, Vol.3, Page 83, Musnad Abi Saeed Al-Khudri. Narrated Abi Saeed Al-Khudri: (While a shepherd was amongst his sheep) suddenly a wolf attacked a sheep and took it away. The shepherd chased the wolf and back the sheep. The wolf sat on its tail and addressed the shepherd saying: "Be afraid of Allah, you have taken the provision from me which Allah gave me." The shepherd said: "What an amazing thing! A wolf sitting on its tail speaks to me in the language of a human being." The wolf said: "Shall I tell you something more amazing than this? There is Muhammad (the Messenger of Allah) in Yathrib (Al-Madina) informing the people about the news of the past." Then the shepherd proceeded (towards Al-Madina)

[IslamCity] Vinegar
Fwd Email:-
Vinegar
Prophet Muhammad (saws) liked vinegar. Modern medicine also acknowledge its anti-cough, anti-inflammation and digestive properties
By Dr. Hassan Shamsi Basha
Jabir narrated, The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took me one day with him to his house. He was served some bread. He asked: `Is there any dip? They replied No, only some vinegar. He said, Vinegar is a good dip.'
Jabir used to say, I have loved vinegar since I heard it from Allahs Prophet. And Talhah ibn Nafa said, I have loved vinegar since I heard it from Jabir. (Muslim, Abu Dawud, Nasaai)
What is Vinegar and Why is it a Good Dip?
Vinegar is made by fermenting the juice of sweet fruits and grains such as barley, apple and grape. The process of creating vinegar entails fermenting in an aerobic environment (in the presence of oxygen) as opposed to alcoholic fermentation, which is done in an anaerobic environment (in the absence of oxygen). The alcohol in these liquids is oxidized to acetic acid. Vinegar contains 4 per cent or more acetic acid. Its colour and tastes differ depending on its base.
Vinegar contains small amounts of protein and starch. 100g of vinegar has only 16 calories. It also contains sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron, zinc and chlorine but it has no vitamins.
Ibn Seena (died 1037 CE) wrote in his famous book Al-Qanoon fit Tibb (the Canon of Medicine), that vinegar is a powerful clotting agent. If poured on an external wound, it will stop the bleeding and prevent swelling. It aids digestion and is an expectorant. It helps with felons (inflammation of the tissues of a finger or toe) and carbuncles (a kind of skin inflammation). It acts quickly on burns. When mixed with old and applied to the head, it helps with headaches caused by heat. It strengthens gums. It is an appetizer and aids digestion.
Vinegar is treating External Injuries
The Martin-Dale Encyclopaedia of Pharmaceuticals 1989 indicated that vinegar has many beneficial uses. Some are :
To treat poisoning by alkaline (non-acidic) substances.
To help reduce fevers by applying a cold pad to the forehead which is soaked with vinegar and water.
To cure black hairy tongue. a disease caused due to intake of antibiotics like penicillin, tetracycline by using vinegar once or twice daily for a week.
To soothe pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis by applying a pad soaked with vinegar and water to painful joints.
To treat bee and jellyfish stings by applying a mixture of equal amounts of salt and vinegar to the sting, relieving the pain and preventing inflammation.
Cider Vinegar
Professor John B.Yudkin wrote in the 1986 edition of the Penguin Encyclopaedia of Nutrition that Cider vinegar is known for its ability to cure several diseases. It helps in treating joint pain, rhinitis (inflammation of the nose), asthma and gastric disorders and is helps in losing weight.
Slight cases of diarrhoea are a way by which the body gets rid of harmful substances that enter the digestive system. The 1989 edition of Dr. Micheal Sharons book, Complete Nutrition, stated that vinegar aids in treating diarrhoea. It should be taken as one to two tea spoons of vinegar in a glass of boiled or mineral water several times a day.
Anti-Microbial
Complete Nutrition also states. Vinegar performs the role of disinfectant for the intestines. Some people advise it to be used for gargle for the mouth and throat. It disinfects the inside of the mouth from germs. The usual dosage for gargle is to mix one to three tea spoons of cider vinegar in a glass of water, in morning and at night.
Dr. Sharon ends his argument about cider vinegar by saying: We always have to remember that cider vinegar will not have the same effect on everyone. Some may benefit from it and some may not. Very few people may be allergic to vinegar. Nevertheless vinegar is beneficial for the majority of people.
Didn't the Prophet (saws) say, Vinegar is a good dip.

[IslamCity] What 2 do Upon Death?
When Signs of Death Start Showing Up The blessed Companion Aboo Saeed Khudri (Radiyallahu Anhu) said: Prompt the dying among you to say (the kalimah): Laa ilaaha illallah ( I declare that) there is no god but Allah." (Muslim) The blessed Companion Maqil Ibne Yasaar (Radiyallahu Anhu) narrates that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "You should recite Soorah Yaaseen over the dying among you. " (Musnade- Ahmed, Aboo Dawud, Ibne Majah) In the Agony of Death Turn the face of the dying person towards the Qiblah. Let him or her make the following prayer: " O Allah, forgive me and have mercy on me and have me join higher companions. " (Tirmizi) Rulings 1. Soon after the signs of death become obvious, make the dying person lie on his back with the Qiblah on his right. Turn the face slightly towards the Qiblah, raise the head a little by placing a pillow or some other head-rest, in which case also, the dying person will be considered as facing the Qiblah. But leave the dying person as he is if he feels uncomfortable while being made to face the Qiblah. One should sit down close by and let someone say loudly: "Ash'hadu allaa ilaaha il'allaahu wahdahoo laa shareeka lahoo wa ash'hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhoo wa rasooluh. (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. He is One, there is no partner with Him; and I bear witness that Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is His Servant and His Messenger.) Given his condition, do not ask him to recite the kalimah, for that is a time of great trial -who knows what he might say under stress. 2. After the dying person has recited the kalimah once, leave it at that. Do not try to make him say the kalimah non-stop in an effort to see that he breathes his last while reciting it. The purpose for this is simply to make sure that the last words he says should be the kalimah. It is not at all necessary that the recitation of the Kalimah continues right through the last breath. However, should he return to the mundane and ordinary concerns of life, start reciting the kalimah again. When the dying person ,taking the cue, recites it, then be silent. 3. When breath loses its momentum and starts heaving faster and legs sag down, unable to stay up and the nose-top turns aside and the temples collapse inwards, take these signs to be the certain knock of death. At this time, start reciting the kalimah in a raised voice. 4. Reciting Surah Yaseen lightens the hardship of death. Recite it sitting on the side of his head or anywhere else near the body, or ask someone else to do it. 5. At a time such as this, say nothing which may divert his attention to the concerns of worldly life, for this is the time to leave the mortal world and the inevitable time to be present in the majestic Court of Allah Almighty. Do say that which turns his heart away from the concerns of the mortal world and diverts it towards the thoughts of his Creator, for it is here that the well being of the dying lies. At a time like this, bringing his children and family members before him, or anyone else beloved, or to remind him of things or people in a nostalgic manner causing the dying person to be swamped in the thoughts of loves lost, is a terrible thing to do to him. It is not nice that he says farewell to his life in the world so bound by its fond memories. 6. If, at the time of death, some unfortunate remark bordering on kufr (the denial of Faith) escapes the lips of the dying person, feel or say nothing about it. Instead, take it to be a slip of his reason under the stress of approaching death. When man loses his reason, he stands forgiven for his sayings and deeds. Keep praying that Allah Almighty forgives him. 7. When death comes, all concerned should say: "Innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji'oon" (Surely to Allah we belong, and to Him we are to return) and make the following prayer: O Allah ,help me in my hour of trial and replace it for me with what is better. " (Tirmizi) 8. When death becomes obvious and certain, take a strip of cloth, wide enough to pass under the chin, bring it on to the head, tie a knot, then close the eyes gently and pray: "I begin with the Name of Allah while being faithful to the Religion of His Messenger. O Allah, make his matter easy on him and let equally easy be what he shall face after that, and make him the blessed beholder of Thy Sighting, and make that to which he has departed better than what he has departed from." (Durre- Mukhtaar) 9. Then straighten hands and feet, bring toes of the feet close together and tie them with a strip of cloth. Then, throw a sheet over the dead body and place it on a cot or a flat wooden bunk. Do not leave it lying on the ground. It is advisable to place some weight on the stomach lest it inflates. Allow no impure persons (in need of a bath, including women in conditions that exempt them from offering Salaah etc.) near the dead body. (Duue-Mukhtaar) Now inform relatives and friends of the deceased so that they can all
[IslamCity] Rajab-ul -Murajjab Welcomes You!
As Salaamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh,
Rajabul Murajjab Welcomes You!
Tomorrow should be the 1st day of the Month of Rajab, therefore, tonight would be the 1st night of this blessed month. It is called Allah's (SWT) month.
It is highly recommended to perform much 'Amaal in this month, followed by the month of Sha'ban and then the month of Ramadhan. So, why wait until Shahru Ramadhan when we can begin our spritual journey in Rajab? I cannot stress the great importance Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and the Imams gave for this month. Below is only a few:
The Prophet (SAWA) said: "Surely Rajab is the Month of Allah the Great. No Sacred (Haram)monthfrom the Haram months comes close to it (there are 4 Haram months) norrewards (like it). And fighting in it (Rajab) with the Kuffar (disbelievers) is forbidden.Is it not?! Surely Rajab is the Month of Allah, and Sha'baan is my month andRamadhanis the month of my Ummah (Muslims). Is it not?!The one who fasts a day in Rajab it will be obligatory(to earn)Allah, theGreatest's,pleasures (Ridwaan), and keep away from him the anger of Allah, and lock up from him a door from the doors of the Fire."
Imam Musa Al-Kaazhim (AS), the 7thImamsaid: "One who fasts a day in Rajab, the Fire (of Hell)is kept away fromhim for a year. And one who fasts 3 days in Rajab, the paradise will be compusory (Waajib) for him.
Imam Ja'far As-Saadiq (AS), the 6th Imam said: "The Messenger of Allah (SAWA) said: Rajab is the month of seeking forgiveness for my Nation (Ummatee), so seek forgiveness in it much, for surely He (Allah) is Forgiving, Merciful (ghafoorun raheem)."
It is highly recommended to recite:
"Astaghfirullaaha wa as-aluhut-tawba" "I seek forgiveness of Allah and I ask him for repentance"
Also,
The Prophet (SAWA) said to say the following (written below) in Rajab 100 times and complete this with paying Sadaqa. "...Allah will seal for him mercy and forgiveness, and one who says it 400 times Allah will write for him the reward of 100 shaheed (killed in the way of Allah):"
"Astaghfirullahal-lathee laa ilaaha illaa huwa waHdahu laa shareekalahu wa atoobu ilayh"
I seek forgiveness of Allah of which there is not god except Him, no partner for Him, and i turn to Him.
It is highly recommended to fast on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Special/great emphasis has been paid to the first night and day of Rajab. It is highly recommended to pray in the night of the 1st and fast in the day of the 1st of Rajab (tomorrow).

[IslamCity] Nail Polish
Fwd Email:-
Nail Polish
Ladies use nail polish so that they may look beautiful. But in fact, all types of nail polish destroy the natural beauty of the nails. Allah (SWT) has spread a net of small arteries under the nails. Blood circulates constantly in these arteries, giving the nails a red tint. But when the nail polish is coated on the nails for a long time, they become ugly, colorless and rough. Women are also very fond of growing their nails like the beasts. For this purpose, they seem ready to face every type of difficulty. Seeing their absurd eagerness, different companies are earning a lot. They are producing artificial nails of different colors, which are fixed on real nails. This practice does not befit a Muslim lady because the Holy Prophet (SAW) ordered us to remove the nails and said that cutting nails is one of ten natural things. To grow
nails is not an Islamic practice; it has NOTHING to do with Islamic culture and civilization. A Physician of Medical Center New York University said, "The use of nail polish makes nails hard, and the remover makes them harder, and ultimately they become brittle." If blood circulation decreases, the nails become thin, ugly and yellow. The Holy Prophet (SAW) had counted the practice of cutting nails among the ten natural things. A Muslim MUST believe that blessing lies within the limits described by the Prophet (SAW) and no doubt blessing is there. Doctor Saeed Rana observes that germs seek a shelter in long nails and they get themselves mixed in water and other eatables. The nail polish remover destroys the surface of the nails as it removes thin shells from the nails. The shine or luster of the nails also goes and nails become colorless and rough.
For How Long Have You Been Using Nail Polish? Many ladies suffer from different diseases simply because of using nail polish but they dont know the real cause of their disease and are moving from doctor to doctor in search of treatment. I would like to quote just one example which a physician, Tariq Mahmood Chughtai, narrated. The physician write, "Nails are also something living like a human body. They need fresh air, oxygen and water. If they experience pain, they whole body will show the signs and effects of this pain. A woman had boils on her hands. She was also experiencing horrible itch. She visited many doctors but the efforts of the doctors remained fruitless. At last she visited a skin specialist. After examining the patient, the doctor asked her for how long she was using nail polish on
her nails. She replied that she was doing so for the last 5 years. She told the doctor that she was suffering from the disease for the last 5 years as well. The doctor advised her to stop using nail polish. He prescribed her some medicine and she was OK just within three weeks. Different colors have their own effects on human health. Nail polish plugs the pores of the nails and the chemicals it contains cause different diseases.

8. When you're happy, try to share your happiness with others. Thank Allah for that, and pray its continuation.
9. When something bad or embarrassing happens to you, just think that it could always be worse, remember the reward of patience,and thank Allah that it's not worse than it is.
10. Do something extra of goodness once in a while, like feeding a poor person, or caressing an orphan's head.

[IslamCity] 3 Questions?
Fwd Email:
There was once a man who was an enemy to Islam. He had three famous questions that no person could answer. No Islamic scholar in Baghdad could answer his three questions...thus he made fun of Islam in public. He constantly ridiculed Islam and the Muslims. One day a small boy, who was 10, came along and heard the man yelling and screaming at Muslims in the street. He was challenging people openly to answer the three questions. The boy stood quietly and watched. He then decided that he would challenge the man. He walked up and told the man, "I will accept your challenge". The man laughed at the boy and ridiculed the Muslims even more by saying, "A ten year old boy challenges me. Is this all you people have to offer!" But the boy patiently reiterated his stance. He would challenge the man, and with Allah's help and guidance, he would put this to an end. The man finally accepted. The entire city
gathered around a small "hill" where open addresses were usually made. The man climbed to the top, and in a loud voice asked his first question. "What is your God doing right now?" The small boy thought for a little while and then told the man to climb down the hill and to allow him to go up in order to address the question. The man says "What? You want me to come down?" The boy says, "Yes. I need to reply, right?" The man made his way down and the small boy, age 10, with his little feet made his way up. This small child's reply was "Oh Allah Almighty! You be my witness in front of all these people. You have just willed that a Kafir be brought down to a low level, and that a Muslim be brought to a high level!" The crowd cheered and screamed "Takbir""Allah-hu-akbar!!!" The man was humiliated, but he boldly asked his Second question... "What existed before your God?" The small child thought and
thought. Then he asked the man to count backwards. "Count from 10 backwards." The man counted..."10, 9 ,8 , 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,0" The boy asked, "What comes before 0 ?" The man: "I don`t know...nothing" The boy: "Exactly. Nothing was before Allah, for He is eternal and absolute." The crowd cheered again"Takbir!""Allah-hu-akbar" The man, now completely frustrated, asked his final question. "In which direction is your Allah facing?" The boy thought and thought. He then asked for a candle. A candle was brought to him. The blessed child handed it to the man and asked him to light it. The man did so and remarked, "What is this supposed to prove?" The young boy asked, "In which direction is light from the candle going?" The man responded, "It is going in all directions." The boy: "You have answered your own question. Allah's light (Noor) goes in all directions. He is
everywhere. There is no where that He cannot be found. "The crowd cheered again"Takbir!""Allah-hu-akbar!!!" The man was so impressed and so moved by the boy's knowledge and spirituality, that he embraced Islam and became a student of the young boy. So ended the debate. Who was the young boy? The young boy was one of our leaders and one of the greatest scholars, Imam Abu Hanîfa (May Allah bless him). Ö èâë noèë

[IslamCity] Hepatitis B
Fwd by: Public Awarness
Hepatitis B
There is a safe and effective vaccine for hepatitis BHepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is thought to be the leading cause of liver cancer.
The World Health Organization estimates that hepatitis B infections lead to more than one million deaths every year.
What causes hepatitis B?
The disease is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that attacks the liver.
The virus is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids that contain blood.
This can occur through direct blood-to-blood contact, unprotected sex, and illicit drug use.
It can also be passed from an infected woman to her new-born during the delivery process.
Does the virus always pose a health threat?
It is thought that about one in three of the world's population is infected by HBV.
However, about 50% of those who carry the virus never develop any symptoms.
About nine out of ten people infected with HBV will eventually clear the virus from their bodies. But about 5-10% of infected adults will become chronic hepatitis B carriers, often without even knowing it.
What are the symptoms?
The virus can cause a range of problems, including fever, fatigue, muscle or joint pain, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting.
Chronic carriers have an increased risk of developing liver disease such as cirrhosis or liver cancer, because the hepatitis B virus steadily attacks the liver.
Chronic carriers will usually have on going inflammation of the liver and may eventually develop cirrhosis and liver cancer.
About 1% of people who are infected develop an extreme form of disease called acute fulminant hepatitis.
This condition can be fatal if not treated quickly. Sufferers may collapse with fatigue, have yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) and develop swelling in their abdomen.
How is it treated?
There are several drug treatments available to treat hepatitis B.
Patients may be put on a four month course of injections of the drug interferon.
An alternative treatment is a drug called lamivudine which is taken orally once a day. Treatment is usually for one year. Sometimes lamivudine is combined with interferon.
Chronic patients may require a liver transplant.
Can it be prevented?
Yes, by the use of a safe and effective vaccine.
However, for the 400 million people world-wide who are already carriers of HBV, the vaccine is of no use.

[IslamCity] Five Phrases...We Should Practice
Five Phrases...We Should Practice
The best manner to avoid having negative attitudes and emotions control our bodies is simply to practice the wisdoms that we have been given throughout the Qur'an and Hadith. We should say,
1 "Alhamdullilah" It produces calm and health to practice saying, "Alhamdulillah" for what we have
2 "Insha'Allah" for what we intend
3 "Subhana' Allah" when we see something exciting or amazing
4 Astaghfir'Allah" when we lose our tempers or become weak.
and most importantly
5 "Allahu Akbar" when we are faced with the challenges of life.
These five phrases, said regularly, are like taking a multi-vitamin for holistic health.There is much wisdom in the Prophet's (SAW) statement (narrated byAbu Huraira), "The strong [person] is not the one who overcomes thepeople by his strength, but the strong [person] is the one whocontrols himself while in anger." In fact, staying patient and calmis key to physical
strength.

[IslamCity] Salaatut duha (chaast prayers)
278) Hadith Number 7. 'Abdullah bin Saa-ib Radiyallahu'Anhu reports: "Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam performed four rak'ahs after zawaal before the zuhr salaah, and used to say: 'The doors of the heavens open at this moment. I like that a good deed of mine ascend there at this moment"'. Commentary What deed can there be more pious and better than salaah, as this is the best among all devotions. Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam has said: "The coolness of my eye is in salaah". In another hadith it is stated: "The one that performs salaah, is like one having a private conversation with Allah".

[IslamCity] Du`aa� After Ablution
Du`aa After Ablution opens the eight gates of Paradise
A true believer never gives up supplicating to his Lord and imploring Him for guidance. Almighty Allah teaches us to call upon Him and seek His forgiveness all the time. In the Quran, Almighty Allah teaches us:
Ask Allah of His bounty. Lo! Allah is ever Knower of all things. (An-Nisaa: 32) Sheikh Sayyed Sabiq states in his well-known book, Fiqh us-Sunnah: `Umar reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,
If one completes (and perfects) the ablution and then says, I testify that there is no god except Allah, the One Who has no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him and he may enter any of them that he wishes (Muslim). Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri reported that the Prophet said,
Whoever makes ablution and says, Glory be to Thee, O Allah, and the praise be to Thee. I bear witness that there is no god except You. I beg Your forgiveness and I repent unto you, will have it written for him, and placed on a tablet which will not be broken until the Day of Resurrection (At-Tabarani).
An-Nasai has it with the wording
It will be stamped with a seal, placed below the throne, and it will not be broken until the Day of Resurrection. As for the supplication,
Allah, cause me to be from among the repentant, and cause me to be from among the pure,
it has been narrated by At-Tirmidhi.

[IslamCity] The Barakah and Blessings of Bismillah
Forwarded Email The Barakah and Blessings of Bismillah. WHEN BISMILLAH WAS REVEALED ... Sayyidina Jaabir (RA) is reported to have said that when Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem revealed, the clouds gave way by moving to the East, the winds ceased blowing, the oceans became calm, the creatures prepared themselves to listen, the shaytaan got pelted with fire from the heavens and Allah Ta'ala, swearing an oath by His honour, declared: Anyone who says this name of mine (ie. Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem) upon anything, I will surely impart barakah in that thing, (Durre Manthoor and Ibne Katheer) BISMILLAH BEFORE WAHEE In Durre Manthoor Sayyidina Ibne Umar (RA) is reported as saying that surely, whenever Jibreel (AS) used to bring wahee to Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam), he used to first recite Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem . The reason for the above is as follows: in Bismillah there are three names of Allah: (1) Allah which is His personal name indicating that all projects can only be initiated by the will and wish of Allah. (2) Rahmaan (Kind) which is His attributive name indicating that only Allah can keep that project intact and existent (guarding it against destruction). (3) Raheem(Most Merciful) which is also His attributive name indicating that only Allah can,through His mercy and grace, enable any person to derive benefit from that project. This clearly proves that any project begun with Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem will be granted barakah and blessings from the beginning till the end. BISMILLAH BEFORE DOING ANYTHING It is for this reason that Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu-alayhi- wasallam) used to recite Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem before doing any work. And he (sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) also advised the Ummah to do the same. For example, reading it before shutting the door for the night, before putting out the light, before taking meals, before drinking water, before boarding a conveyance, and when alighting any conveyance. REMEMBERING ALLAH THROUGH HIS THREE THOUSAND NAMES It is mentioned in Tafseer Roohul Bayaan that Allaamah Sayyid Haqqi (RA) said that Allah Ta'ala has three thousand names. He revealed one thousand to the angels, one thousand to the ambiya(AS), three hundred are mentioned in the Toraah, three hundred in the Zaboor, three hundred in the Injeel, and ninety-nine in the Holy Qur'aan. One Name He has kept to Himself; He revealed it to no one. Also, He has condensed all His names into the three names contained in Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem. They are Allah, Rahmaan and Raheem. Any person saying Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem; it is as though he has remembered Allah by all His names. BISMILLAH - A MEANS OF HIGH STATUS IN THE HEREAFTER Rasoolullah (Sallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) is reported as saying that any du'a which is begun with is not rejected. Because of saying Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem the scales of my Ummah will become heavy on the Day of Qiyaamah. The other people will enquire: "Why is the virtues of the Ummate Muhammadiyyah so heavy?" Their prophets will say: "In the utterances of the Ummate Muhammadiyyah there is such an honourable name of Allah that if it is placed on the one side of the scale, and the sins of the entire creation is put onto the other side then the side with the virtue will be heavier. A HADEETHE QUDSI Rasoolullah (Saliallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) said that Sayyidina Jibreel made mention of this Hadeeth under oath that he heard it from Sayyidina Mika'il(AS) under oath who in turn heard it from Sayyidina Israfeel (AS) under oath that Allah Ta'ala said: "By my honour, grace and grandeur, whoever reads Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem and Soorah Faatihah jointly once, then you be witness that I shall not burn his tongue and I will save him from the Fire as well as the punishment of the grave and the day of Qiyaamah. Note: Reading Bismillah and Sooratul Faatihah jointly means to read it as follows: Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem mil hamdu lillaahi rabbil aalameen. SAYING BISMILLAH BEFORE WUDHU Rasoolullah (Sallailaahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: "One who does not say Bismillah before wudhu, his wudhu is incomplete." (Tirmizi). It is reported from Sayyidina Abu Hurairah (RA) that anyone who does not say Bismillah before wudhu, only the sins committed by the limbs which are washed in wudhu will be washed away; and one who says Bismillah before wudhu, the sins of the entire body will be washed away. (Mishkaat) SAYING BISMILLAH BEFORE MEALS Sayyidina Umar Ibne Abee Salmah (RA) reports that Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) said to me: "Say Bismillah and eat with your right hand the food that is in front of you." (Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmizi) Whoever used to eat without saying Bismillah, Rasoolullah(Sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) used to hold his hand and urge him to say Bismillah. (Zaadul Ma'aad,Uswah-e-Rasoole Akram). The Ulama have said that it is preferable to say the Bismillah aloud so that it is a reminder for those who forget.
[IslamCity] Face or Feet?
Face or Feet?
Once a Muslim scholar was flying to a country with an airplane. When the time for salah came, he went to the bathroom to make wudhu (ablution). Since, the bathrooms in airplanes are very small, he had to open the door to lift up his foot to the sink. An air hostess came to him and told him not to wash his feet in the sink because they are dirty. The scholar calmly asked the hostess "How many times do you wash your face?" The hostess replied "Usually once or twice." Then the scholar replied "I wash my feet five times a day for prayers. Therefore, my feet are cleaner than your face." The purpose of this story is not to get a good laugh. However, it teaches us how regular we should be about prayers. It also shows us how to deal with non Muslim comments regarding wudhu.Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

[IslamCity] The Prayer - Salat
The Prayer - Salat
The human being is the only creature who has been distinguished from other creatures with the instinct of knowing right from wrong. He is, therefore, the only one who is expected to be the perfect image of his Creator. That is why the objective of his life is to know his Creator and become a perfect image of his attributes, as Allah says in the Holy Qur'an:"I have not created jins and humans but, for my worship"SALAT or the method of worship is the main media through which a human can establish a relationship with his Creator and it is one of the main doors which leads to his complete submission to Allah's will.Salat also prevents him from wrongdoings. Allah says:"Surely prayer restrains one from indecency and manifest evil." Which shows that Salat or prayer is a guarantee from Allah that if a worshipper observes prayer with all its
conditions, he will be safe from evils, manifest or hidden, small or great. The Holy Prophet (peace be on him) asked to the companions, "if one of you had a stream running by his door and he takes a bath in it five times a day, would any dirt be left on him?." They replied! "No dirt would be left on him". The Holy Prophet said: "This is the case with Salat (the five daily prayers) Allah makes the Salat wipe out his sins".When we reflect on the creation of the universe and the law that governs it and the design and variety that pleases our eyes, we naturally are convinced of existence and greatness of Allah.Allah says in the Holy Quran:"In the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of the night and the day there are indeed signs for men of understanding;" Those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and ponder over the creation of the heavens and the earth: "Our Lord, Thou hast
not created this in vain; nay, Holy art Thou; save us, then, from the punishment of the Fire." (Aal-e-Imran, v19l-192)This verse beautifully tells us that when a worshipper reflects upon the structure of the Universe he becomes overwhelmed with the greatness of its Creator. The ENTITY Who created such an awe-inspiring structure with such detailed arrangement and accuracy. He is alone to be worshipped and so right for protection.There are five daily prayer services participation in which is obligatory. This may seem a little too much, but it is all a matter of comparative values. Those who realize the true value of prayer through experience are convinced that time spent in it is occupied much more beneficially than that spent in other pursuits.There is no ordained priesthood in Islam. Every Muslim can be Imam (who leads congregational prayer) and can deliver a sermon. The members of the congregation may select, and for this purpose, they should choose one
from among themselves who knows the Holy Quran better than the others. No vestment is prescribed for the Imam nor any special dress for the congregation. All that needed is the body and the head should be decently and cleanly covered. Ö èâë noèëSend instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

[IslamCity] The Quest 4 ALLAH Mercy..
The Quest 4 ALLAH Mercy..
It was narrated that in the days that Musa - alayhis salam - wandered with Bani Israaeel in the desert a grizzly drought befell them. Together, they all raised their hands towards the heavens praying for the blessed rain. Then, to the astonishment of Musa - alayhis salam - and all those watching, the few clouds that scattered the sky vanished, the heat scorched down, and the drought intensified.
It was revealed to Musa that there was a sinner amongst Bani Israaeel that had disobeyed Allah for more than 40 years of his life. Let him separate himself from the congregation, Allah told Musa. Only then shall I shower you all with rain.
Musa - alayhis salam - called out to the throngs of humanity, There is a person amongst us who has disobeyed Allah for 40 years. Let him separate himself from the congregation and only then shall we be rescued from the drought. That man, waited, looking left and right, hoping that someone else would step forward
but no one did. Sweat poured from his brow and he knew he was the one.
If he stayed amongst the congregation all would die of thirst; yet, if he stepped forward he would be humiliated for all eternity.
He raised his hands with sincerity he had never known before, with humility he had never tasted, tears poured on both cheeks, O Allah, have mercy on me! O Allah, hide my sins! O Allah, forgive me!
As Musa - alayhis salam - and Bani Israaeel awaited for the sinner to step forward, the clouds hugged the sky and the rain poured. Musa - alayhis salam - asked Allah ta'aala, O Allah, you blessed us with rain even though that sinner did not come forward.And Allah ta'aala replied, O Musa, it is for the repentance of that very person that I blessed all of Bani Israaeel with water.
Musa, wanting to know who was this blessed man, asked, Show him to me O Allah! Allah ta'aala replied, O Musa, I hid his sins for 40 years. Do you think that after his repentance I shall expose him?
Allah always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him.

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness), and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: I am one of the Muslims.} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels. [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all.
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]

Namaz-e-Istaghfar - 1
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said:
If your sustenance reduces and you have difficulties in your affairs you must remove them by asking your needs from the Almighty with the help of Namaz and Istaghfar. Namaz-e-Istaghfar is two rakats. In each rakat after Surah Hamd recite Surah Qadr once and then say Astaghfirullaah 15 times. Then go into the ruku and after the recitation of the ruku say Astaghfirullaah 10 times. Rise up from the ruku and again say it 10 times. Go into the first Sajdah and after the recitation of the Sajdah say Astaghfirullaah 10 times. Arise from the first Sajdah and again say Astaghfirullaah 10 times. Go into the second Sajdah and repeat like the first Sajdah. Get up from the second Sajdah and say Astaghfirullaah 10 times. In the similar manner complete the second rakat and conclude the prayer. Insha Allah everything would be all right.
Namaz-e-Istaghfar - 2
This is four rakat prayer. In the first rakat after Surah Hamd recite Ayatul Kursi once. In the second rakat after Surah Hamd recite Surah Tawheed once. In the third rakat after Surah Hamd recite Surah Falaq once. In the fourth rakat after Surah Hamd recite Surah Naas once. After concluding the prayer recite the Istaghfar ten times.
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said:
If one recites this prayer on Saturday before noon the Almighty Allah forgives all his sins.

The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said:
If one desires that his sins are forgiven he should pray two rakat Namaz on Tuesday eve. In the first rakat after Surah Hamd recite Surah Qadr once and in the second rakat after Surah Hamd recite Surah Tawheed seven times. After concluding the prayer recite Istaghfar. Insha Allah the Almighty Allah would forgive the sins.

The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said:
If one recites 10 rakats prayer on Tuesday in the following way that in every rakat after Surah Hamd he recites Ayatul Kursi once and Surah Tawheed seven times; the Almighty Allah shall forgive the sins of all his life.

Namaz-e-Tawbah
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) emerged from his house on Sunday the 2nd of Zilqad and said:
O people! Who among you intends to perform Tawbah?
The people replied: All of us would like to do Tawbah.
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said:
Perform the Ghusl (bath) and Wuzu (ablution) and recite four rakats prayer. In each rakat after Surah Hamd recite Surah Tawheed thrice and Surah Falaq and Surah Naas once each and after the prayer do Istaghfar and then say: Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa billaahil a'liyyil a'zeem. Then say: Yaa A'zeezo yaa ghaffooro ighfirli zunoobi wa zunooba Jamee'il mo-mineena wal mo-minaate. Fa innahu laa yaghfiro illa ant.
And the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said:
No servant of my Ummat performs this prayer that a caller does not calls out from the sky: O slave of Allah! This deed has been elevated and your repentance (Tawbah) has been accepted and your sins are forgiven.
An angel will call out beneath the heavens: O slave of Allah! Congratulations to you and your family members.
An angel would call out: Your enemy would be satisfied with you on the day of Judgment. Another angel would call out: O slave of Allah! You would leave this world with faith. You would not be arrested. Your grave shall be expansive and illuminated.
Another angel would call out: O slave of Allah! Your parents are happy with you though they were dissatisfied with you before. Your parents and your descendants shall get salvation and there shall be increase in the livelihood in the world and the hereafter.
Hazrat Jibraeel (a.s.) would call out: At the time of death I would come with the Angel of death and would be kind to you and you shall not have any problem. Your body would not be pained at the time the soul is taken out.
The people asked: O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.), how should one perform this if one desires to perform it in any other month? The Prophet (s.a.) replied:
In the same way with the merits.
And said: Jibraeel has taught me these words on the night of ascension (Shab-e-Me'raj).Ö èâë noèëSend instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
