Bismillah [IslamCity] Emotions For Allah
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu Ghayrah for Islam Has Become a Deficiency Posted in 'Abdullah 'Azzam on April 6, 2009 by Abu Sabaya “…It is a disaster that your heart dies without you noticing. It is as if you say: ‘O Lord! How often I rebel against You without you punishing me for it!’ And He replies: ‘How often I punish you without you even noticing! Haven’t I removed the life from your heart?’ The death of the heart, the lack of reaction to the Shar’i texts, that your face doesn’t become red for the sake of Allah…that’s it. Your heart is dead. It no longer pumps blood. In fact, this has now become something shameful. It has now become blameworthy for one to have zeal and to react strongly when he sees some corruption or evil in front of him. This is now considered a deficiency of the many deficiencies that can exist in one’s character. People will say that you are a poor guy who is quick to get charged up, or that you are passionate, or that you are zealous, or that you are rash, or that you are a fundamentalist, etc. Yes! It is now something blameworthy! …Yes, and this is why we now use these terms without realizing what we’re saying. This person is too simple-minded, this person is too passionate, that person is a fanatic, easily charged up, zealous, etc. And is this religion given victory by mere reason, or is it given victory by zeal and passion? Reason tells you: how can you stand against Russia? Malik bin Nabi said that the index finger of Bilal that was raised to the sky saying ‘Ahad, Ahad (He is One, He is One)’ was not the voice of reason. Rather, this was the voice of emotion, because reason would tell him to deceive Umayyah bin Khalaf and then come at night and renew his Islam with Muhammad. Someone once said to me: “Brother, we shouldn’t be so open with everything we say. I sat for two years in an office without my coworker knowing my mindset.” So, I said to him: “May Allah ease your affairs. This means that for two years, you didn’t speak a single word encouraging good or forbidding evil because if you had spoken, he would have known your mindset?” And he considers this to have been cleverness on his part! The cowards think that cowardliness is intelligence * This is the deception of the wicked soul…” ['Fi Dhilal Surat at-Tawbah'; p. 223] http://iskandrani.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/ghayrah-for-islam-has-become-a-deficiency/ Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

Bismillah [IslamCity] LOVE for KNOWLEDGE
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalamau alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu Ibn Salaah said, “When a student of hadeeth has finished learning the short-chained narrations and other important knowledge of his town, he should move to other towns.” Alee, may Allaah be pleased with him, said, “It is enough an honour for knowledge that even those who are not proficent in it claim it and are happy whenever they are addressed as knowledgable. And it is enough a condemnation for ignorance that even an ignorant person despises being called ignorant.” Muaath bin Jabal, may Allaah be pleased with him said, “Learn knowledge. For, learning it for Allaah’s sake brings about God-conciousness, seeking it is an act of worship, revising it is an act of glorifying Allaah, searching for it is fighting in the way of Allaah and teaching it to those who do not know it is an act of charity and disseminating it to those who deserve it is an act of worship.” Al-Hasan al-Basree said, “To study a chapter of knowledge and teach it to a Muslim is dearer to me than to have the whole world in possesion and spend it in the way of Allaah.” Ash-Shafiee said, “Seeking knowledge is better than performing voluntary prayers.” And he said, “Knowledge confers a sense of honour on him who has none.” Extracted from The Biography of Imam Sa’eed bin Al-Musayyab by Salahuddin Ali Abdul Mawjood - DARUSSALAM. http://brenttheblogger.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/love-for-knowledge/ Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

Bismillah [IslamCity] Spending favorite things for Allah’s sake
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu Spending favorite things for Allah’s sake by Slave Of Allah http://prophetmuhammad.muslimpad.com/2009/03/23/spending-favorite-things-for-allahs-sake/ Allah, the Exalted, says: “By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness - here it means Allah’s reward, i.e., Jannah), unless you spend (in Allah’s Cause) of that which you love.” (3:92) “O you who believe! Spend of the good things which you have (legally) earned, and of that which We have produced from the earth for you, and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it.” (2:267) Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Abu Talhah (May Allah be pleased with him) was the richest among the Ansar of Al-Madinah and possessed the largest property from palm-trees, and among his possessions what he loved most, was his garden known as Bairuha’ which was opposite the mosque, and Messenger of Allah (PBUH) often visited it and drank from its fresh water. When this Ayah was revealed: “By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness - here it means Allah’s reward, i.e., Jannah), unless you spend (in Allah’s Cause) of that which you love,” (3:92), Abu Talhah came to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and said, “Allah says in His Book: `By no means shall you attain Al-Birr, unless you spend (in Allah’s Cause) of that which you love,’ and the dearest of my property is Bairuha’ so I have given it as Sadaqah (charity) for Allah’s sake, and I anticipate its reward with Him; so spend it, O Messenger of Allah, as Allah guides you.” Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “Well-done! That is profit earning property. I have heard what you have said, but I think you should spend it on your nearest relatives.” So Abu Talhah (May Allah be pleased with him) distributed it among nearest relatives and cousins. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Commentary: 1. This Hadith mentions the spirit of obedience to Allah and His Prophet (PBUH) and effort which the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) made for attaining a higher status in virtue. 2. To spend the best of one’s property in the way of Allah is a sign of perfection of Faith. 3. In the matter of Sadaqat (alms giving and charity), preference must be given to one’s closest relations, provided they are poor and stand in need of help, otherwise, these should be spent on other deserving people.

Bismillah [IslamCity] State of the Ummah
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalamau alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu Important lecture by Sheikh Anwar al awlaki-State of the Ummah http://www.anwar-alawlaki.com/?p=83 State of the Ummah http://sumoodan.wordpress.com/2009/03/18/state-of-the-ummah/ عن عبد الله بن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: خمس بخمس ما نقض قوم العهد إلا سلط عليهم عدوهم وما حكموا بغير ما أنزل الله إلا فشا فيهم الفقر ولا ظهرت فيهم الفاحشة إلا فشا فيهم الموت ولا طففوا المكيال إلا منعوا النبات وأخذوا بالسنين ولا منعوا الزكاة إلا حبس عنهم القطر رواه الطبراني وهو حسن، انظر: صحيح الجامع 3240 ‘Abd Allaah bin ‘Abbaas (radi Allahu ‘anhumaa) narrated Allaah’s Messenger (salalahu ‘alayhi wasalam) said: “Five matters result when (another) five things happen: If people break their covenant (with Allaah), He’ll appoint (or send) their enemies against them; if they judge by other than what Allaah has revealed, poverty will be spread among them; If faahishah is manifest among them, death will be spread among them; If they become deceptive in trade, He will deprive them of crops and they’ll be struck with famine; And if they withold the payment of zakah, they will be struck with drought.” [By way of At-Tabaraanee and it is hasan: See Saheeh Al-Jaami' hadeeth number 3240] وفي رواية : ولم ينقضوا عهد الله وعهد رسوله إلا سلط الله عليهم عدوا من غيرهم فأخذوا بعض ما كان في أيديهم، وما لم تحكم أئمتهم بكتاب الله عز وجل ويتحروا فيما أنزل الله إلا جعل الله بأسهم بينهم شديداً And in another narration, he (salalahu ‘alayhi wasalam) said: “If they break the covenant of Allaah and His Messenger, Allaah will send an (external) enemy against them who will seize some of their wealth; And if their leaders do not judge by Allaah’s Book, nor attempt to implement what is in it, Allaah will spread enmity amongst them.” In light of the above report it’s understandable what the causes for hazimah (defeat) are; and obviously we see that they are all in effect and present in the lands of the Muslims. We see the ‘ahd (covenant), which some have said is qitaal (fighting), is broken by many or deserted by most. We see that Allaah’s Laws are broken - abandoned totally in parts, or applied selectively. We see that fawaahish and zinaa are widespread especially amonst younger generations. We see the dealings and deception of “Al-Mutaffifeen” as mentioned to us in the Qur’aan. And also, we see the abandonment and neglection of paying the annual alms giving, too. And so, it’s acceptable to say that amongst the remedies for the state of this Ummah are: To abide/maintain the covenant with Allaah To judge by what He has sent i.e Shari’`ah To abstain from sins -especially fornication To do business fairly, and give full measure To pay the zakah (2.5%) to those ‘in need’ And Allaah Knows Best.

Bismillah [IslamCity] The second knowledge
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu http://friendsofallah.blogspot.com/2009/03/two-kinds-of-knowledge-from-allahs.html Volume 1, Book 3, Number 121: Narrated Abu Huraira: I have memorized two kinds of knowledge from Allah's Apostle . I have propagated one of them to you and if I propagated the second, then my pharynx (throat) would be cut (i.e. killed). Imam Ibn Hajr al Asqalani (rah) in his great Fath al Bari explains this hadith that the second knowledge is knowledge of future events One of the explaination of Abu Huraira (ra) in that particular hadith, was that he was referring to a disaster that was going to hapen to the believers in the year of fitna ,Ali (ra) was killed and during Yazid reign many believers were slaughtered. Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani (rah) explains the Hadeeth above, as follows: ref: Fath al-Baari, Kitaab al-Ilm.. Chapter: On Preserving Knowledge “The Ulema understood/took this type of Ilm (Knowledge), that he, Abu Hurayrah (ra), did not transmit/propagate, as a (meaning) reference to those Ahadeeth that mention/reveal the names of the Ameers (leaders) of evil, their conditions and their era/period.. And Abu Hurayrah (ra) used to point towards some of this (Knowledge) without declaration, fearing for himself - from them, such as his saying: ‘I seek refuge with Allah from the head of the sixty, and the Leadership of the Youth’ - indicating/pointing towards the Khaleefah of Yazeed Ibn Mu’awiyyah, due to it being the year sixty after Hijrah.. And Allah aza wajall answered the Du’aa of Abu Hurayrah (ra), as he passed away a year before this (occurrence).. Ibn al-Muneer (rah) said: ‘The Baatiniyyah made (used) this Hadeeth as a means to making their falsehood (seem) correct, as they believed that the Shariah has a Dhaahir (apparent meaning/knowledge) and Baatin (hidden/inner/secret meaning/knowledge), and the result of that Baatin is dissolution of the Deen’ He said: ‘Abu Hurayrah (ra) intended/meant by his saying “(then my pharynx/throat) would be cut” – meaning: that the People of Injustice would cut his neck/head off if they had heard him criticising/finding faults with their actions, And what supports this, is that - the written Ahadeeth, if they were from the Ahkaam (rulings), he would not have concealed it, because of what he, Abu Hurayrah (ra), mentioned in the 1st hadeeth (of this chapter in Saheeh al-Bukhari - see below), and (his citation of) the Ayah that condemns (curses) those that conceal knowledge.. And other(s) said: ‘It could mean matters relating to the Signs of the Hour, changes in conditions, and fierce battles at the end of time – so then the ones who were not familiar with it, would reject it’..” The Imaam mentions: If this type of knowledge would have been from the Ahkaam (rulings), then Abu Hurayrah (ra) would NOT have concealed it, due to the following Hadeeth that he also narrated - within the same Chapter: Preserving Knowledge, Kitaab al-Ilm: Abu Hurayrah (ra) narrated: “People say that I have narrated many Hadiths (The Prophet's narrations). Had it not been for two verses in the Qur'an, I would not have narrated a single Hadith, and the verses are: Lo! Those who hide the proofs and the guidance which We revealed, after We had made it clear to mankind in the Scripture: such are accursed of Allah and accursed of those who have the power to curse.Except those who repent and amend and make manifest (the truth). These it is toward whom I relent. I am the Relenting, the Merciful. Qur'an, chapter 2, Al-Baqarah, verse 159-160 And no doubt our Muhajir (emigrant) brothers used to be busy in the market with their business (bargains) and our Ansari brothers used to be busy with their property (agriculture). But I (Abu Huraira) used to stick to Allah's Apostle contented with what will fill my stomach and I used to attend that which they used not to attend and I used to memorize that which they used not to memorize.” Saheeh al-Bukhari: Vol 1, Book 3, Hadeeth 118 Additionally, Al-Imaam mentions that the Type of Ilm which Abu Hurayrah (rah) held back, was related to Fitan, Turmoil etc.. In particular, the names of the “Leaders of Evil”, their conditions and Era/Period.. This point has also been mentioned in the following Hadeeth.. Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman (ra) Narrated: “I swear by Allah, I do not know whether my companions have forgotten or have pretended to forgot. I swear by Allah that the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) did not omit a leader of a wrong belief (fitnah) -- up to the end of the world -- whose followers reach the number of three hundred and upwards but he mentioned to us his name, his father's name and the name of his tribe.” Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 35, Number 4231 During the course of his discussion, Al-Haafidh proceeds to quote Ibn Al-Muneer (rah) on how the “Baatiniyyah” (mis)used the Hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (ra) (i.e. Two Kinds of

Bismillah [IslamCity] The Fear of Fame: A Lost Characteristic
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu The scholars and the righteous of this Ummah always feared fame and becoming well-known amongst the people. They would dislike for their name to be mentioned much and you can see one of them fleeing from the people as if they were a fitnah (trial), whilst at other times you can see one get up and leave the circle of knowledge which he was conducting because the numbers became too many. Below here are some amazing statements from our predecessors that allude to just how much they held onto sincerity and how much they fled from fame and from being spoken about. _ Ibn Mas’ood (radhiallahu `anhu): ‘(O people!) Be the springs of knowledge and the lamps of guidance! Stick to your homes and be like a light in the night, revivers of hearts, wearing worn-out clothes, you will then be known by the people of the heavens and be hidden among the people of the earth.’ A man said to Bishr: ‘Advice me.’ So he said, ‘Let your mention be unknown…’ And Hushib would be found crying saying, ‘My name has reached the Masjid!’ Both Ibrahim al-Nakha’i and al-Hasan used to say, ‘It is enough of an evil that a man should be pointed at in matters of Deen or Dunya (i.e. out of fame), except him whom Allah has protected. Righteousness lies here’ and he’d point to his chest three times. Ibrahim ibn Adham: ‘A slave who loves fame has not been truthful to Allah.’ ‘Aasim: ‘If more than four people came and sat around Abul-‘Aaliyah, he would get up and leave.’ Dawud al-Ta’i used to say: ‘Flee from people just like you would flee from a lion.’ Imam Ahmad: ‘Glad tidings be to the one whose mention has been hidden by Allah!’ And he would say, ‘I wish for something that will never be… I wish to be in a place devoid of other people.’ Dhul-Nun: ‘Being pleased with being around people is from the signs of bankruptcy’ Fudhayl ibn ‘Iyyadh: ‘If you can get by without being known, then do so. What does it bother you that people will not praise you, and what does it bother you that you may be blameworthy in the sight of people if in the Sight of Allah you are praiseworthy?’ Muhammad ibn al-‘Alaa ibn Musayyib from Basra wrote to Muhammad Yusuf al-Asbahani saying, ‘O my brother, whoever loves Allah loves that he remain unknown (to the people).’ Bishr ibn al-Harith: ‘I do not know a single man who loves fame except that he loses his religion and becomes disgraced. No-one who has fear of Allah, loves to be known amongst the people.’ He (rahimahullah) also said: ‘A man who loves that everyone should know him, will never find the sweetness of the Hereafter.’ Yazid ibn Abi Habib: ‘Indeed from the fitnah of a scholar is that speech should become more pleasing to him than silence and listening.’ Abu Huraira (radhiallahu `anhu) used to say: ‘Were it not for an ayah in the Book of Allah, I would not have narrated to you people (ayah below): إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى مِن بَعْدِ مَا بَيَّنَّاهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِي الْكِتَابِ أُولَـئِكَ يَلعَنُهُمُ اللّهُ وَيَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّاعِنُونَ ‘Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allah and cursed by the cursers.’ [al-Baqarah: 158] Al-Sha’bi: ‘We tried incredibly hard to get Ibrahim al-Taymi to sit down in the masjid and narrate to the people but he refused.’ Ibn Abi Layla: ‘I met a hundred and twenty Companions of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam), and none of them would narrate except that he loved his brother to suffice him of that. And none of them gave fatawa except that he wished his brother would suffice him of that.’ ‘Abdullah ibn Abbas: ‘Indeed Allah has slaves who have been silenced by the fear of Allah although they are eloquent in speech.’ Sufyan al-Thawri: ‘If you can become a scholar without being known, then do so. For indeed the people, if they knew what was in you, they would eat your flesh.’ ^ He (rahimahullah) wouldn’t allow more than three people to sit in his gathering. One day, more than three came and he saw his gathering had increased so he stood up in fear and said, ‘By Allah, we have been taken and we do not even feel it! By Allah, if the leader of the faithful, ‘Umar (radhiallahu `anhu) were to see someone like me sitting in this gathering he would make me stand up and say ‘The like of you is not worthy of this!’ It is reported that when he sat to narrate hadeeth, he would sit in fear and terror. If a cloud passed over him, he would become silent until it passed then he’d say, ‘I feared that it contained stones with which we would be struck with.’ When Bishr al-Hafi abandoned narrating hadeeth in a gathering, the people said to him: ‘What are you going to say to your Lord when He asks you ‘Why did you abandon narrating to the people the

Bismillah [IslamCity] Marks of Faith On Their Faces From Traces of Prostration
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu Download Tafsir Ibn Kathir www.muttaqun.com/pc/tafsir.zip 48:29. Muhammad (SAW) is the Messenger of Allâh, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allâh and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of (their) prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurât (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, it then becomes thick, and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allâh has promised those among them who believe (i.e. all those who follow Islâmic Monotheism, the religion of Prophet Muhammad SAW till the Day of Resurrection) and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (i.e. Paradise). tafsir by Ibn Kathir The mark of them is on their faces from the traces of prostration.) refers to graceful appearance, according to Ibn `Abbas as reported from him by `Ali bin Abi Talhah. Mujahid and several others explained: It means, humbleness and reverence.'' Some said, The righteous good deed brings light to the heart, brightness to the face, ampleness in provisions, and love in people's hearts.'' The Leader of the faithful, `Uthman bin `Affan said, Everyone who hides a secret, then Allah the Exalted will either show on his face what he's done or by the words that accidentally slip from his mouth.'' Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin `Abbas said that the Prophet said, (Verily, good conduct, graceful appearance and moderation are one part out of twenty-five parts of prophethood.) Abu Dawud also collected this Hadith. Therefore, since the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them all, had sincere intentions and righteous good deeds, all those who looked at them liked their appearance and conduct. Imam Malik said, I was told that when the Christians saw the Companions, who conquered Ash-Sham, they commented, `These people are, by Allah, better than the Disciples (of `Isa) according to what has been conveyed to us.''' They indeed said the truth, for this Ummah was mentioned in an honorable way in previously revealed Scriptures. The best and most honored members of this Ummah are the Companions of the Messenger of Allah . Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored, praised them in previous Books and Revelations, and this is why He said here, (This is their description in the Tawrah), then said, (But their description in the Injil is like a seed which sends forth its shoot (Shat`ah,)) its shoot or branch, (then makes it strong,) able to stand on its own, (and becomes thick), youthful and long, (and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers,) Such is the parable that describes the Companions of Allah's Messenger . They gave the Messenger aid, support and victory, just as the shoot hardens the plant, (that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. ) Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

Bismillah [IslamCity] You did indeed Wish for Death....
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu 3:130. O you who believe! Eat not Ribâ (usury)[] doubled and multiplied, but fear Allâh that you may be successful. 131. And fear the Fire, which is prepared for the disbelievers. 132. And obey Allâh and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) that you may obtain mercy.[] 133. And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness from your Lord, and for Paradise as wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2). 134. Those who spend [in Allâh's Cause - deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity,[] who repress anger,[] and who pardon men; verily, Allâh loves Al-Muhsinûn[] (the gooddoers). 135. And those who, when they have committed Fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allâh and ask forgiveness for their sins; - and none can forgive sins but Allâh - And do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know.[] 136. For such, the reward is Forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath (Paradise), wherein they shall abide forever. How excellent is this reward for the doers (who do righteous deeds according to Allâh's Orders). 137. Many similar ways (and mishaps of life) were faced by nations (believers and disbelievers) that have passed away before you (as you have faced in the battle of Uhud), so travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allâh, and disobeyed Him and His Messengers). 138. This (the Qur'ân) is a plain statement for mankind, a guidance and instruction to those who are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2). 139. So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers. 140. If a wound (and killing) has touched you, be sure a similar wound (and killing) has touched the others. And so are the days (good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allâh may test those who believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Aafia Siddiqui to file an FIR against Musharraf, Sharif
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu Dr Aafia to file an FIR against Musharraf, Sharif http://freedetainees.org/4311 Lahore: Dr Aafia Siddiqui will file an FIR against former Pak President Pervez Musharraf and former PM Nawaz Sharif, said her advocate Iqbal Jafri. Dr Aafia Siddiqui, suspected of having links to terrorist organizations, has been charged in a criminal complaint filed in a court of New York on account of attempting to kill US personnel during interrogation and on a charge of assaulting US officers and employees in Kabul, Afghanistan, on July 17, 2008. Subsequently Dr Aafia was imprisoned in Bagram for 18 days before being taken to the US for a trial. Due to pressure from Aafia Siddiqui’s family, the Pakistan government has been trying to secure her release from the US claiming her to be innocent. Although the US government has guaranteed Aafia the best legal assistance and a fair trial, her family is adamant that she be sent back on grounds that the US authorities have been consistently torturing her for years.

Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding. 191. Those who remember Allâh (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire. 192. Our Lord!

And there are, certainly, among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), those who believe in Allâh and in that which has been revealed to you, and in that which has been revealed to them, humbling themselves before Allâh.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Hasan al-Basri
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu al-Hasan al-Basri Arafat K. El-Ashi Article ID: 684 | Article URL: http://www.islamicawakening.com/viewarticle.php?articleID=684 al-Hasan al-Basree, the leader of the disciples of the Companions of the Prophet was, in fact, the son of Yasar the slave of Zayd Ibn Thabet Al Ansari. His mother Ummul Hasan was a slave woman of Ummu Salamah, the wife of the Prophet peace be upon him. So he was born in the house of the Prophet, and his father's master was one of the famous scribes who recorded Divine revelation for the unlettered Prophet. Yasar, father of al-Hasan was a slave captured in Meesan between Basra and Waset in Iraq. He lived in Madinah where he was liberated from slavery. Then he got maried two years before the end of Uthmân's caliphate. al-Hasan was brought up in Wadi Al Qura. Another report says that Ummul Hasan was captured and taken prisoner of war when she was pregnant. She gave birth to al-Hasan in Madinah. What is sure, however, is that al-Hasan was the son of two ex-slaves. Muhammad Ibn Sallam says that Ummu Salama used to send Ummul Hasan to do anything for her. al-Hasan used to cry in his mother's absence; so Ummu Salama would breast-feed him for some time. She would also bring him out to the Companions of the Prophet while he was still young. They would pray for him. Once Umar Ibn Al Khattab said: O God! Make him well-versed in religion and make people love him. al-Hasan al-Basree was as his name implies, the greatest scholar of Basra city. He met Uthmân, Talha and a number of other senior Companions of the Prophet peace be upon him. Abu Hilal says: I heard al-Hasan say: Moses the Prophet of God, used to cover his private parts whenever he took a bath. Ibn Burayda asked al-Hasan: Whom have you heard this from? From Abu Huraira, he said. al-Hasan says: I used to enter the rooms of the Messenger of God during the caliphate of Uthmân; I would touch their ceilings for I was a grown up boy then. I was 14 years old when Uthmân was killed, al-Hasan says. A beautiful tradition reported by al-Hasan al-Basree on the authority of Anas Ibn Malek is the following. He said: The Messenger of God peace be upon him used to give the Friday sermon while standing near a piece of wood against which he would lean his back. When the number of people increased in the mosque he said: Make a pulpit of two steps for me, which they did. When the Prophet stood up to give the sermon on Friday the said piece of wood moaned as if it expressed its feeling of missing the Messenger of God peace be upon him. Anas comments: I was in the mosque and heard the piece moan. It continued to moan until the Prophet descended to it and embraced it. Then it was silent. As a matter of fact, whenever al-Hasan narrated this tradition he would cry and say: O slaves of God! A piece of wood misses the Messenger of God! It is you who should do so. It may sound strange how can a piece of wood moan and feel sorry and miss the absence of the Prophet. First of all there are other authentic traditions that confirm this incident. As Muslims we believe that everything in this world glorifies the praises of God. Trees and stones used to greet the Messenger of God, which is one of his minor miracles. Rabeeah Ibn Kulthoom quotes al-Hasan al-Basree as saying: We learnt from Abu Huraira the following: The Prophet ordered me to do three things: To take a shower every Friday, to finish my prayers nightly with one final prostration and to fast three days of every month. Muhammad Ibn Saad says in his famous encyclopedia called Al Tabaqat that al-Hasan al-Basree was all embracing in his knowledge, a real scholar of a high standard, one who excels in jurisprudence, reliable as a source, trustworthy, a sincere worshipper, overflowing with learning, outspoken, beautiful and handsome. He was also one of the bravest men. No one looks like him except a prophet. That is why Ibn Burda says: No one is similar to the Companions of the Prophet as he was. Thus Abu Qatada says: Keep close to this old man, for I have seen no one whose opinion is like that of Umer as al-Hasan is. So Anas Ibn Malek says: Ask al-Hasan for he still remembers while we forgot. Muath Ibn Muath says: I said to Al Ashaath: You have met Atta and you had questions to ask why didn't you ask him? He said: I have never met anyone after al-Hasan al-Basree but was small in my eyes. Hammam says: It is said that the earth will never be lacking in seven men; through them people will get rain, and with their blessing they will be defended and I hope that al-Hasan is one of them. A man asked Atta about reciting the Quran on the funeral. He said: We never learnt or heard that it is recited upon. The man siad: al-Hasan says that we have to recite. Atta then said: Follow this, because al-Hasan is a great scholar. Abu Jaafar Al Razi

Bismillah [IslamCity] View Of Four IMAMS On Music
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu laykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu http://islamandmusic.blogspot.com/2008/04/consensus-of-companionstaabieen-imams.html THE VIEW OF THE TAABI'EEN IMAMS AND SCHOLARS AFTER THEM The view held by the companions was generally adhered to by the taabi'een and their followers, the four imams and the great majority of dependable Islamic scholars up to the present time. From among the taabi'een and their followers, there are such authorities as Mujaahid, Ikrimah, An-Nakha'i and Al-Hassan Al-Basri.(*107) IMAM ABU HANEEFAH: Imam Abu Haneefah(*108) has perhaps the harshest view of the four famous Imams of jurisprudence. His school of thought is the strictest, for he detested singing and considered it sinful. As for his disciples, they have explicitly confirmed the prohibition of listening to all musical amusements and pastimes, including wind instruments (mazaameer),(*109) all types of tambourines, hand drums (dufoof)(*110) and even the striking of sticks(al-qadeeb). They have asserted that such actions constitute disobedience to Allah and that the performer of such action is sinful, therefore necessitating rejection of his testimony.(*111) They have further stated that it is incumbent upon the Muslim to struggle to avoid listening to such things, even if he were passing by or stationed near them (without any willful intention). Abu Haneefah's closest disciple, Abu Yoosuf, stated that if the sound of musical instruments (ma'aazif) and amusements (malaahi) were heard coming from a house, the house could be entered without permission of its owners.(*112) The justification for this is that the command regarding the prohibition of abominable things (munkaaraat) is mandatory, and cannot be established if such entering rests upon the permission of the residents of the premises.(*113) This is the madhhab (position) of the rest of the Kufic scholars as well, such as Ibraheem An-Nakha'i, Ash-Sha'bi, Hammaad and Ath-Thowri. They do not differ on this issue. The same can be said of the general body of jurisprudence of Al-Basrah.(*114) IMAAM MAALIK: It is related by Ibnul-Jowzi that Ishaaq bin 'Eesaa At-Tabba'a asked Imaam Maalik bin Anas,(*115) the leading jurisprudent of Madeenah, about the view of the people of Madeenah regarding singing (ghinaa). He replied, In fact, that is done by the sinful ones. Abut-teeb At-Tabari said, As for Maalik bin Anas, he truly did prohibit singing and listening to it. He further related that Maalik said, If one purchased a slave-girl(*116) and found her to be a professional singer, he could return her to the original owner for reimbursement on the claim of having found fault in the merchandise.(*117) The ruling of prohibition (tahreem) is generally agreed upon by the scholars of Madeenah. The Maaliki jurisprudence and commentator, Al-Qurtubi, reports Ibn Khuwayz Mandaad as saying that Imam Maalik had learned singing and music as a small boy until his mother encouraged him to leave it for a study of the religious sciences. He did, and his view became that such things were prohibited.(*118) Al-Qurtubi confirmed Maalik's view by saying that the only exception to this general ruling was the type of innocent songs such as those sung to placate the camels during travel, or during hard labor or boredom or during times of festivity and joy, such as the 'Eed days and weddings - the latter to the accompaniment of a simple daff (hand drum). Al-Qurtubi then said, As for that which is done in our day, by way of the [blameworthy] innovations [bidah] of the Sufi mystics in their addition to hearing songs to the accompaniment of melodious instruments such as flutes, string instruments, etc., such is haraam [forbidden].(*119) IMAAM SHAAFI'EE: In the book, Aadaabul Qadaa, Ash-Shaafi'ee is reported as saying, Verily, song is loathsome [makrooh]; it resembles the false and vain thing [al-baatil]. The one who partakes of it frequently is an incompetent fool whose testimony is to be rejected.(*121) His closest and most knowledgeable disciples clearly stipulate that his position on this issue is that of prohibition (tahreem) and they rebuke those who attribute its legality to him.(*122) This is confirmed by the later Shafi'ite scholar, Ibn Hajar Al-Haythami. He related that one of Ash-Shaafi'ee's disciples, Al-Haarith Al-Muhaasibi (d.243 H) said, Song is haraam, just as the carcass [maytah](*123) is. Furthermore, the statement that singing is haraam is found in the treatise, Ash-Sharh Al-Kabeer, by the authoritative Shafi'ite scholar, Ar-Raafi'ee (d.623 H.). This is further corroborated by the accomplished Shafiiite jurisprudent, Imam An-Nawawi (d.676 H.) in his Rowdah.(*124) Such is the correct view of the dependable scholars of the Shafi'ite madhhab. However, due to limited knowledge and personal fancy and desire, a few of their latter-day scholars disagree with this view.(*125) IMAM AHMAD BIN

And if only they had acted according to the Taurât (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to them from their Lord (the Qur'ân), they would surely have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet. There are from among them people who are on the right course (i.e. they act on the revelation and believe in Prophet Muhammad SAW like 'Abdullâh bin Salâm[] ÑÖì ), but many of them do evil deeds. 67. O Messenger (Muhammad SAW)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allâh will protect you from mankind. Verily, Allâh guides not the people who disbelieve. 68. Say (O Muhammad SAW) O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! You have nothing (as regards guidance) till you act according to the Taurât (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to you from your Lord (the Qur'ân). Verily, that which has been sent down to you (Muhammad SAW) from your Lord increases in many of them their obstinate rebellion and disbelief. So be not sorrowful over the people who disbelieve. 69. Surely, those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh, in His Messenger Muhammad SAW and all that was revealed to him from Allâh), those who are the Jews and the Sabians and the Christians, - whosoever believed in Allâh and the Last Day, and worked righteousness, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.[] Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

Bismillah [IslamCity] Hijab In Quran
Bismillah hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu http://hijab.muslimpad.com/category/hijab-in-quran/ Surah 24:An-Nur, Verse 30 Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And Surah 24:An-Nur, Verse31 And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily-Eye,bangles,bracelets etc) appear thereof; that they should draw their *veils *over their *bosoms* and not display their beauty except to their husbands their fathers their husbands’ fathers their sons their husbands’ sons their brothers or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons or their women or the slaves whom their right hands possess or male servants free of physical needs or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah that ye may attain Bliss. Now taking selective part of the verse which is needed for explanation: And Say to the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (Eyes,bangles,bracelets etc), and to draw their *veils* all over Juyubihinna (bosoms) ……… The Arabic text is, “Wa qul li al-muminat yaghdudna min absarihinna wa yahfazna furujahunna wa laa yubdina zenatahunna illa maa zahara min haa wal-yadribna bi *khumurihinna* alaa “*juyub hinna*”. This is translated as, “And say to the faithful women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their adornment except what is apparent of it, and to extend[draw] their khumur to cover their juyub”. First, the word “khumur”plural of khimar[It is a piece of cloth which is used by a woman to cover her head]. In this verse Allah subhanawatala mentions khimaar for the first time,before this verse when surah Ahzab’s verse was revealed with hijab commandment,Jalabeeb[jilbab] is the word mentioned.Jalabeeb (plural of Jalbaab), a loose outer garment that covers all a woman’s body. Though Jalabeeb fulfills the criteria of veiling yet in surah Nur [24] further clarification is explained. Because women wore long outer garment[jalabeeb] along with khimaar[head scarf].Even though khimar was’nt mentioned in surah Ahzab’s verse.Their khimar didnt covered bosom so Allah commanded them to extend khimar to bosom,while doing so it has to be pulled from the head ,which will fall of face,then neck then bosom.And jalabeb falls on rest of the body from sholders to feet. Hence a complete covering including face[excluding eyes].Prophets wives were commanded first to cover completely,they always used khimar till the end of their lives,and it always covered their faces along with bodies. Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 1829 Narrated byAisha, Ummul Mu’minin Riders would pass us when we accompanied the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) while we were in the sacred state (wearing ihram). When they came by us, one of us would let down her outer garment[Jilbab] from her head over her face, and when they had passed on, we would uncover our faces. *Note:While one cannot deny the support of Hadith that indicate that the Prophet’s wives wore khimar, one must realize that they also covered their faces at all times in the presence of non-mahram men. Here in the state of Ihram they cover temporarily with Jilbab,in normal circumstanes they used khimaar to cover faces,neck,bosom as taught in suran nur 24 verse 31.This is a proof that believeing women also followed suit. Another clarification:The word “juyub”. This is the plural of the word “jayb”, which means “bosom”. The word is used in Arabic to refer to the breastpocket of a shirt. For cross reference see Surah al-Qasas ayah 32 describes Moses as putting his hand in his “jayb”, and this means his breast, not his “body, face, neck and bosom” so “juyub” cannot be translated as such as such but bosom only. Allah knows best.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Friend Of Quran's Pleasure In prayer
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu Abbad ibn Bishr It was the fourth year after the Hijrah. The city of the Prophet was still under threat from within and without. From within, the influential Jewish tribe, the Banu anNadir, broke their agreement with the Prophet and made plans to kill him. For this, they were banished from the city. This was in the month of Safar. Two months of uneasy quiet passed. Then the Prophet received news that tribes from distant Najd were planning an attack. To pre-empt them, the Prophet gathered a force of over four hundred men, and leaving one of his companions Uthman ibn Affan in charge of the city, set out eastwards. Among this force was the young Madinan, Abbad ibn Bishr. Arriving at Najd, the Prophet found the habitations of the hostile tribes strangely deserted of men. Only women were about. The men had taken to the hills. Some of them regrouped and prepared to fight. The time of Salat al-Asr (the afternoon prayer) came. The Prophet feared that the hostile tribesmen would attack them during prayer. He arranged the Muslims in ranks and divided them into two groups and performed the prayer as the Salat al-Khawf (the Prayer of Fear). With one group he performed one rakah while the other group stood on guard. For the second rakah the groups changed places. Each group completed its prayer with one rakah after the Prophet had finished... On beholding the disciplined ranks of the Muslims the hostile tribesmen became uneasy and afraid. The Prophet had made his presence felt and something of his mission was now known at first hand in the central highlands of Arabia whence he departed peacefully. On the way back, the Prophet pitched camp in a valley for a night. As soon as the Muslims had settled their camel mounts, the Prophet peace be on him, asked: Who will be our guard tonight? We, O Messenger of God, said Abbad ibn Bishr and Ammar ibn Yasir both of whom had been paired off as 'brothers' by the Prophet when he arrived in Madinah after the Hijrah. Abbad and Ammar left for the mouth of the valley to take up duty. Abbad saw that his brother was tired and asked him: What part of the night do you wish to sleep, the first or the second? I shall sleep during the first part, said Ammar who was soon fast asleep quite close to Abbad. The night was clear, calm and peaceful. The stars, the trees, and the rocks all appeared to celebrate in silence the praises of their Lord. Abbad felt serene. There was no movement, no threatening sign. Why not spend the time in ibadah (worship) and reciting the Quran? How delightful it would be to combine the performance of Salat with the measured recitation of the Quran which he so much enjoyed. In fact Abbad was enthralled by the Quran from the moment he first heard it being recited by the mellow and beautiful voice of Musab ibn Umayr. That was before the Hijrah when Abbad was just about fifteen years old. The Quran had found a special place in his heart and day and night thereafter he would be heard repeating the glorious words of God so much so that he became known among the Prophet's companions as the friend of the Quran. Late at night, the Prophet once stood up to perform the Tahajjud Prayer in Aishah's house which adjoined the masjid. He heard a voice reciting the Quran, pure and sweet and as fresh as when the angel Jibril revealed the words to him. He asked: Aishah, is that the voice of Abbad ibn Bishr? Yes, O Messenger of God, replied Aishah. O Lord, forgive him, prayed the Prophet out of love for him. And so in the stillness of the night, at the mouth of the valley in Najd, Abbad stood up and faced the Qiblah. Raising his hand in surrender to God, he entered into the state of Prayer. Finishing the compulsory opening chapter of the Quran, he began reciting Surah al-Kahf in his sweet, captivating voice. Surah al-Kahf is a long Surah of one hundred and ten verses which deals in part with the virtues of faith, truth and patience and with the relativity of time. While he was thus absorbed in reciting and reflecting upon the divine words, eternal words of illumination and wisdom, a stranger stalked the outskirts of the valley in search of Muhammad and his followers. He was one of those who had planned to attack the Prophet but who had fled into the mountains on the approach of the MusIims. His wife whom he had left in the village had been taken as a hostage by one of the Muslims. When he eventually found that his wife was gone, he swore by al-Lat and al-Uzzah that he would pursue Muhammad and his companions and that he would not return unless he had drawn blood. From a distance, the man saw the figure of Abbad silhouetted at the mouth of the valley and he knew that the Prophet and his followers must be inside the valley. Silently he drew his bow and let fly an arrow. Unerringly it embedded itself in Abbad's

Bismillah [IslamCity] Blessed Contemplation
Bismillah hir Rahmaan Nir raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu http://fajr.wordpress.com/2009/01/28/al-tafakkur/ People are often distinguished by their thoughts and ideas, and a person is only ranked by his peers according to his level and depth of thinking. Likewise, by speaking to someone and listening to his/her speech, their level of intelligence, their depth of reflection and extent of contemplation is displayed. Some statements regarding al-Tafakkur (Thought and Contemplation): Salim ibn Abi al-Ja’d: I asked Umm al-Darda (radhiallahu `anha), ‘What was the best of Abu al-Darda’s deeds?’ She said, ‘al-Tafakkur (contemplation).’ Al-Hasan al-Basri: ‘Contemplation is a mirror that shows you your good and bad deeds.’ Wahb ibn Munabbih: ‘The believer is the one who contemplates, remembers and restrains (himself from evil). He contemplates such that tranquility raises him and he remains calm and peaceful such that it humbles him. He (the believer) was content so he did not fall into distress, he refused his desires so he became free, he cast off jealousy so love became widespread for him and he was ascetic in every temporal thing so his intelligence became complete. His heart is connected to his aspirations and his aspirations overlook his Hereafter. He does not take delight when the people of the world take delight; rather the reality of eternity has saddened him so he remains sad in his life. But when eyes fall asleep, then he takes delight; reciting the Book of Allah Ta’ala and repeating it in his heart – at one point his heart feels fear and at another point, his eyes weep. The night passes him by while he is reciting, and the day passes him by while is in seclusion, pondering over his sins and belittling his good deeds. Such a person will be called on the Day of Judgment in that great gathering at the head of all creation: ‘Stand up O’ noble one and enter Paradise!’ Ibn Abi al-Hawari: I said to Abu Safwan (’Abdullah ibn ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan), ‘Which of these two is better: That a man should go hungry and sit in contemplation or that he should eat and get up to pray?’ He said, ‘That he should (first) eat then get up and contemplate in his prayer is more beloved to me.’ So I told that to Abu Sulayman and he said, ‘He (Abu Safwan) has told the truth. Contemplation during the prayer is better than contemplation outside of the prayer, because contemplation in the prayer is in reality two deeds (combined), and two deeds are better than one.’ Al-Hasan said to Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah: ‘Tafakkur is the key to Mercy. Don’t you see how a person contemplates and consequently repents?!’ Al-Fudhayl: ‘The speech of the believer is wisdom; his silence is contemplation and his vision is a lesson (for him). If you are like that, then you will not cease being in a state of worship.’ Then he read the verse, “I have not created Mankind or Jinn except to worship Me.” [al-Dhariyat: 56] Ka’b al-Ahbar: ‘Whoever wishes to attain the honour of the Hereafter, let him increase in contemplation for he will then become knowledgeable.’ _ [Translated from: نداء القمم في كيف تعلو الهمم by Dr. Sayyid al-'Affani] Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

Bismillah [IslamCity] THE VIRTUE OF INJURY IN THE SAKE OF ALLAH
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalamau alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu http://alkhilafah.net/jihad.html CHAPTER 6: THE VIRTUE OF INJURY IN THE SAKE OF ALLAH: 124. Abu Hurairah narrated: The Messenger of Allah said: “Anyone who is injured in the path of Allah – and Allah knows who is injured in His sake – will come on the Day of Judgment with his injury bleeding. The color is that of blood and the smell is that of musk!”245 Ibn Daqeeq al Eid: The presentation of injury on the Day of Judgment indicates two things: 1. The injury is a witness for the person. 2. It is a badge of honor for the person in front of all creation. 125. Aisha said whenever Abu Bakr would remember the day of Uhud he would say: “That is a day that belongs to Talhah (he means Talhah bin Ubaidillah). I was the first to go back to the Messenger of Allah but I found a man fighting with him and I said to myself: “Be Talhah” “Until he said: “Talhah had around seventy injuries in his body and his hand was cut off”246 126. Urwah bin al Zubair said: “Al Zubair had three scars from sword wounds. One was on his shoulder. It was so large I would stick my fingers in it. Two of them were from Badr and one in the battle of Yarmuk” 127. Anas bin Malik said: Abu al Diganah threw himself behind the walls in Yamamah and his leg broke. He kept on fighting with a broken leg until he was killed 247 128. Muadh bin Amr bin al Jamooh said: I made Abu Jahl my target on the day of Badr. When I found him I charged at him and hit him with my sword and cut his leg in two. Then his son Ikrimah hit me on my shoulder until he cut off my arm. It only remained hanging to my body by the skin of my side. But because fighting distracted me I remained dragging it behind me for most of the day. Dragging my arm behind me annoyed me so I placed my foot over it and pulled it off. 129. During the battle of Yamamah the first one to leave the battleground was Abu Aqeel (one of the Ansar). An arrow that hit him between his shoulder and his heart injured him. He was then carried to the camp. When the battle was turning against the Muslims he heard Ma’an bin Adi calling the Ansar to charge the enemy. Abdullah bin Umar said: Abu Aqeel stood up, so I asked him “What do you want to do?” He replied: “They are calling my name,” I said: “They are not calling upon the injured!” He replied: “They are calling upon the Ansar and I am one of them and I will respond to the call even if I have to crawl” He then put on his sword and went into the battle field and fought until his left arm was cut off from the shoulder. I said: “Abu Aqeel!” He responded with a weak tongue: “Yes, who won?” I said: “Rejoice, the enemy of Allah was killed” He raised his finger upwards and praised Allah, and then he died. I told my father Umar about that. He said: “May Allah have mercy on him. He persisted in search of martyrdom until he got it”248 130. Salim the servant of Abu Huthaifah was told that if he feared he wouldn’t be capable to carry the banner during the battle it could be transferred to someone else. He responded: “I am the worst carrier (knows Quran by heart) of Quran if that happened!” His right hand was chopped, and then he carried the banner with his left hand. His left hand was latter cut so he embraced the banner with what was left of his both arms reciting: “Muhammad is not but a messenger, other messengers have passed on before him. So if he were to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels? And who turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all, but Allah will reward the grateful”249 and “And how many a prophet fought and with him fought many religious scholars. But they never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in the cause of Allah, nor did they weaken or submit. And Allah loves the steadfast”250 When he was about to die he asked his companions: “What happened to Abu Huthaifah?” They said: “He was killed” He then asked them about another person. They responded that he also was killed. He said: “Then bury me between the two of them”251 ,252 On the day of Uhud the Messenger of Allah sent me to look for Saad bin al Rabee and if I find him to deliver the salaams of the Messenger of Allah to him. I found him among the bodies of the dead pronouncing his last moments with around seventy injuries in his body. I told him: “The Messenger of Allah delivers his salaams to you” He said: “salaams to the Messenger of Allah and salaams to you. Tell the Messenger of Allah that I am now smelling the scent of Paradise, and tell my people the Ansar that you have no excuse if the Messenger of Allah is harmed while there is still an eye blinking among you” After that he died.253 132. Saad narrated that he passed by a man on the day of the battle of the bridge with his arms and legs cut off while he was crawling and reciting: “And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger – those will be with the ones

Bismillah [IslamCity] Celebrating Martyrdom
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu http://iskandrani.wordpress.com/2008/02/09/a-man-from-egypt/ A Man from Egypt One of the wise men of the past said: “I passed by a village in Egypt seeking to engage in Ribat (guarding the Muslim frontier against the disbelievers), when suddenly I passed by a man in sitting in the dark. His was missing his eyes, as well as his hands and legs. He was suffering all types of difficulty, while saying: “Praise be to You, Allah - a praising that combines the praises of all of Your Creation - for what You have blessed me with, and preferred me greatly over many of those whom You have Created.” So, I said to him: “For what blessing are you praising Allah? For what preference are you thanking Him for? By Allah, I do not see any type of difficulty except that you are experiencing it!” So, he said: “Do you not see what has happened to me? By Allah, if He were to cause the heavens to rain fire down upon me, and I were to be burned up because of it, and He were to command the mountains to crush me, and He were to command the oceans to drown me, I would not increase except in praising and thanks to Him, and I request something of you: I have a daughter who used to serve me and break my fast with me. Can you see if you can find her?” I said to myself: “By Allah, I hope that in fulfilling the request of this pious servant, I will gain nearness to Allah - the Mighty and Majestic.” So, I went out looking for her in the desert to discover that she had been eaten by wild beasts. I said to myself: “To Allah we belong and to Him we return! How will I tell this pious servant that his daughter had died?” So, I went to him and asked him: “Are you better in the Sight of Allah than Prophet Ayyub? Allah put him to trial with his wealth and his children and family.” He replied: “No, rather, Ayyub is better!” I said: “Well, the daughter that you had asked me to find, I found that she has been eaten by wild beasts.” He said: “Praise be to Allah who has taken me out of this World without putting in my heart any love for it.” Then he collapsed and died. I said: “To Allah we belong and to Him we return! Who will help me to wash his body and bury it?” Suddenly, a group of horsemen engaging in Ribat passed by, so I motioned for them to stop. They came over, so I informed them of what had happend, so we washed the man’s body, shrouded it and buried it in this village, and the group of men then went on their way. I spent the night in the village unable to leave this man. When a third of the night had passed, I began dreaming that I was with him in a green garden. He was wearing two beautiful green garments, and he was standing up and reciting the Qur’an. I said to him: “Are you not my companion from yesterday?” He said: “Yes, I am.” I said: “How did you reach your current state (of health and happiness)?” He replied: “I have reached a level that none of the patient reach, except those who are patient during times of calamity and thankful during times of ease.” [‘Sifat as-Safwah’; 2/452] Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

(The Noble Quran, 47:38) Allah does not alter the fate of a nation till they change their own selves By the orders of Allah, the guardian angels accord protection. They keep watch in front of and behind everyone. Surely, Allah does not alter the fate of a nation till they change their own selves. If Allah intends evil for a people, there is no escape from it. They have no guardian besides Allah! (The Noble Quran, 13:11) Allah will never change a grace That is so because Allah will never change a grace which He has bestowed on a people until they change what is in their own selves. And verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Why Dua's are Not Answered?
Bismillah hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu Al-Qurtubi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: It was said to Ibraaheem ibn Adham: Why is it that we supplicate and receive no response? He said because you know Allaah but you do not obey Him, and you know the Messenger but you do not follow his Sunnah, and you know the Qur’aan but you do not act in accordance with it, and you eat from the blessings of Allaah but you do not give thanks for them, and you know Paradise but you do not seek it, and you know Hell but you do not flee from it, and you know the shaytaan but you do not fight him rather you agree with him, and you know death but you do not prepare for it, and you have buried the dead but you do not learn a lesson from that, and you ignore your own faults and are preoccupied with other people’s faults. Tafseer al-Qurtubi (2/312). Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: It was narrated that ‘Umar Ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: By avoiding that which Allaah has forbidden, Allaah will accept du’aa’ and tasbeeh. And it was narrated that Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The amount of du’aa’ with righteousness that is sufficient is like the amount of salt that is sufficient with food.” And Muhammad ibn Waasi’ said: A little du’aa’ is sufficient with piety. One of the salaf said: Do not expect a response when you have blocked the way with sins. One of the poets also commented on this by saying: We call upon Allaah for every hardship, then we forget Him when the hardship is relieved. How can we hope for an answer to our du’aa’s, when we have blocked its way with sins? Jaami’ al-‘Uloom wa’l-Hukam (1/107, 108).

Bismillah [IslamCity] PUNISHMENT FOR THE ONE WHO TURNS HIS BACK DURING BATTLE
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu THE SEVERE PUNISHMENT FOR THE ONE WHO TURNS HIS BACK DURING BATTLE: Allah say: “O you who have believed, when you meet those who disbelieve advancing [for battle], do not turn to them your backs. And whoever turns his back to them on such a day, unless swerving [as a strategy] for war or joining [another] company, has certainly returned with anger from Allah, and his refuge is Hell – and wretched is the destination”284 Know that turning one’s back in battle is a major sin with the consensus of scholars and the one who does it deserves the wrath of Allah and his severe punishment. Abu Hurairah narrated: The Messenger of Allah said: “Stay away from the seven destroyers of your deeds: Associating another deity with Allah, sorcery, murder, usurping the wealth of an orphan, dealing with interest, turning one’s back during battle, and accusing the chaste with adultery or fornication.”285 If jihad is a collective duty, it becomes an individual duty when the armies’ meet and turning one’s back becomes prohibited. The only exceptions are: 1. If the size of the enemy’s army is more than twice that of the Muslims. 2. Swerving to take a new position. 3. Retreating to join another company of Muslims 4. Being incapacitated due to illness or having no access to a weapon Allah says: “If there are among you twenty steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are among you one hundred steadfast, they will overcome a thousand of those who have disbelieved because they are a people who do not understand. Now Allah has lightened [the hardship] for you, and He knows that among you is weakness. So if there are from you one hundred steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are among you a thousand, they will overcome two thousand by 284 (al Anfal 15-16) 285 (Bukhari – Muslim) the permission of Allah. And Allah is with the steadfast.”286 Ibn Al Mubarak narrated that Ibn Abbas said: If one man runs away from three, he hasn’t turned his back in battle. If he runs from two then he has turned his back in battle. Al Qurtubi in his Tafseer: As long as the enemy is more than twice the number of Muslims they can retreat but being steadfast and fighting is better. In the battle of Mutah the Muslims with only 3000 faced the Roman army of 200,000 Roman soldiers and 100,000 Arab soldiers. It is also mentioned that when Tariq opening al Andalusia he had only 1700 soldiers while his enemy was 70,000 strong Imam Malik was asked about a Muslim facing ten enemy soldiers, should he fight them or retreat? He said: Both options are allowed for him. The Messenger of Allah said: “An army of twelve thousand would never be defeated due to fewness”287 Most of the scholars consider this hadith to be an exception from the rule set by the verse that as long as the enemy is more than twice your number you can retreat.288 286 (Al Anfal 65-66) 287 (Abu Dawud – al Sunan al Kubra – Tirmithi - Darimi – al Hakim) 288 [The scholars say that this rules applies to armies less than 12,000 in number. However, if the Muslim army is 12,000 or more then they cannot turn there backs no matter how large the enemy’s army is.] Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

Bismillah [IslamCity] Islamic Law In Somalia
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Asssalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu http://www.anwar-alawlaki.com/2008/12/21/salutations-to-al-shabab-of-somalia/ Salutations to al-Shabab of Somalia Posted (Anwar alAwlaki) in Imam Anwar's Blog on December-21-2008 We are following your recent news and it fills our hearts with immense joy. We would like to congratulate you for your victories and achievements. Al-Shabab not only have succeeded in expanding the areas that fall under their rule but they have succeeded in implementing the sharia and giving us a living example of how we as Muslims should proceed to change our situation. The ballot has failed us but the bullet has not. al-Shabab who are with limited resources in an impoverished country are a manifestation of what tawakul on Allah means. We see in them the meaning of “And whoever has taqwa, Allah will make a way out for him. And will provide for him from where he does not expect.” [al-Talaaq 2-3] The university of the battlefield that al-Shabab have chosen to study at, which is teaching them lessons in honor and steadfastness will prove to be a better tarbiyyah method than the Islamic universities run by Green Zone Scholars under governments headed by pimps that teach them the fiqh of weakness and humiliation. The university of Somalia will graduate an alumni of judges, administrators, enjoiners of good and forbiders of evil, capable and tested leaders, teachers, imams, and fighters who are hardened by the field and ready to carry on with no fear and hesitation. It will provide its graduates with the hands-on experience that the ummah greatly needs for its next stage. But their success depends on your support. It is the responsibility of the ummah to help them with men and money. Al-Shabab have already started a program of enforcement of law that would bring peace and security to the people. They are also applying hudud and fighting against innovations that have been around for centuries. We ask Allah to grant them success. I would like to take this opportunity to advise my brothers to be kind and soft with the masses; to excuse them for centuries of ignorance and false beliefs; to teach first and hold responsible last. I would advise you to go by certainty and to leave doubts; to prefer forgiveness over revenge. The masses of the people are suffering from the illnesses of tribalism, ignorance, and a campaign of defamation of sharia. Therefore you need to win the hearts and minds of the people and take them back to their fitrah. Dear brothers may Allah guide you and grant you victory. Only Allah knows that if my circumstances would have allowed I would not have hesitated in joining you and being a soldier in your ranks. Assalamu alaykum Your Brother Anwar al-Awlaki Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

Bismillah [IslamCity] Few Die In Jihad - PROOF!
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu Many people run away from the term Jihad itself let alone participating in it ,thinking Jihad is the way to death.Although there is great reward in dying for Allah's sake but Rasool Allah salla lahu alaihi wa sallam said one who is slain in the way of Allah ,such martyrs will be less in number. This also proves Jihad brings victory. But many people die in the absence of Jihad http://www.iraqbodycount.org/ The Book on Government (Kitab Al-Imara) Muslim :: Book 20 : Hadith 4706 It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (through another chain of transmitters) that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Whom do you consider to be a martyr among you? They (the Companions) said: Messenger, of Allah, one who is slain in the way of Allah is a martyr. He said: Then (if this is the definition of a martyr) the martyrs of my Umma will be small in number. They asked: Messenger of Allah, who are they? He said: One who is slain in the way of Allah is a martyr; one who dies in the way of Allah, is a martyr; one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who dies of cholera is a martyr. Ibn Miqsam said: I testify the truth of your father's statement (with regard to this tradition) that the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) said: One who is drowned is a martyr. Seven Types of Martyrs Funerals (Kitab Al-Jana'iz) Dawud :: Book 20 : Hadith 3105 Narrated Jabir ibn Atik: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came to visit Abdullah ibn Thabit who was ill. He found that he was dominated (by the divine decree). The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) called him loudly, but he did not respond. He uttered the Qur'anic verse We belong to Allah and to Him do we return and he said: We have been dominated against you, AburRabi'. Then the women cried and wept, and Ibn Atik began to silence them. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Leave them, when the divine decree is made, no woman should weep. They (the people) asked: What is necessary happening, Apostle of Allah? He replied: Death. His daughter said: I hope you will be a martyr, for you have completed your preparations for jihad. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Allah Most High gave him a reward according to his intentions. What do you consider martyrdom? They said: Being killed in the cause of Allah. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: There are seven types of martyrdom in addition to being killed in Allah's cause: one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who is drowned is a martyr; one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; one who dies of an internal complaint is a martyr; one who is burnt to death is a martyr; who one is killed by a building falling on him is a martyr; and a woman who dies while pregnant is a martyr. Model Behavior of the Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah) Dawud :: Book 40 : Hadith 4754 Narrated Sa'id ibn Zayd: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: He who is killed while protecting his property is a martyr, and he who is killed while defending his family, or his blood, or his religion is a martyr.

They (the people) asked: Tell us, Apostle of Allah, who are they? He replied: They are people who love one another for the spirit of Allah (i.e. the Qur'an), without having any mutual kinship and giving property to one. I swear by Allah, their faces will glow and they will be (sitting) in (pulpits of) light. They will have no fear (on the Day) when the people will have fear, and they will not grieve when the people will grieve. He then recited the following Qur'anic verse: Behold! Verily for the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.

Bismillah [IslamCity] All�h Calls To The Home Of Peace
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu Surah Yunus 10:24. Verily the likeness of (this) worldly life is as the water (rain) which We send down from the sky, so by it arises the intermingled produce of the earth of which men and cattle eat until when the earth is clad with its adornments and is beautified, and its people think that they have all the powers of disposal over it, Our Command reaches it by night or by day and We make it like a clean-mown harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday! Thus do We explain the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, laws, etc.) in detail for the people who reflect. 25. Allâh calls to the home of peace (i.e. Paradise, by accepting Allâh's religion of Islâmic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds and abstaining from polytheism and evil deeds) and guides whom He wills to a Straight Path. 26. For those who have done good is the best (reward, i.e. Paradise) and even more (i.e. having the honour of glancing at the Countenance of Allâh Ìá ÌáÇáå) Neither darkness nor dust nor any humiliating disgrace shall cover their faces. They are the dwellers of Paradise, they will abide therein forever. Best reward for good doers,Neither darkness nor shame will cover 27. And those who have earned evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is the like thereof, and humiliating disgrace will cover them (their faces). No defender will they have from Allâh. Their faces will be covered, as it were, with pieces from the darkness of night. They are dwellers of the Fire, they will abide therein forever.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Eid Mubarak
Anwar al Awlaki On-Line http://www.anwar-alawlaki.com/ Eid Mubarak http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AnwarAlAwlaki/~3/477506146/ Posted: 07 Dec 2008 07:33 AM CST Assalamu alaykum dear brothers and sisters, Allahu akbar Allahu akbar Allahu akbar, la illaha illallah, Allahu akbar Allahu akbar wa lilllahil hamd. We ask Allah to bless us during these special days and to accept our good deeds. Rasulullah says about these days:They are days of eating and drinking and remembrance of Allah. Therefore one should enjoy the halal blessings of Allah during these days and increase their remembrance of Allah. Yes, the halal is to be enjoyed and we are rewarded for this enjoyment. This is a meaning that is sometimes forgotten. But after we enjoy these blessings we need to thank Allah for them. The slaughtering on eid of animals and feeding on what is a gift from Allah demands our gratitude. So we should remember Allah, praise Him and seek His forgiveness during these moments. We should also make dua for the Muslims who are struggling in Allah's cause, our brothers who are behind bars and the less fortunate who are struggling with poverty around the world. Eid mubarak to all of you.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Virtues of the First Ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah
BISMILLAH HIR RAHMAAN NIR RAHEEM Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu *Virtues of the first ten days of Dhu'l-Hijjah* Are the first ten days of Dhu'l-Hijjah more special than other days? What are the righteous deeds that it is recommended to do a lot of during these ten days?. Praise be to Allaah. *Among the great seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhu'l-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 Dhu'l-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 Dhu'l-Hijjah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) encouraged us to do righteous deeds in the first ten days of Dhu'l-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 Dhu'l-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 Dhu'l-Hijjah and the day of 'Ashoora', and three days each month, the first Monday of the month and two Thursdays. Narrated by al-Nasaa'i, 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 Dhu'l-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 Dhu'l-Hijjah, because it was narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the appointed days are the first ten days of Dhu'l-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

Bismillah [IslamCity] While Imaam Ahmed ibn Hanbal was in prison...
*Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem* *Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu* While Imaam Ahmed ibn Hanbal was in prison... In al-Siyar (11/238), al-Dhahabi reports from Abu Ja'far al-Anbaari: When Ahmad was taken to al-Ma'moon, I was told about it, so I crossed the Euphrates and found him sitting in an inn, where I greeted him. He said, O Abu Ja'far, why did you go to the trouble (of coming here) I said, Listen to me, today you are the leader and the people are following you. By Allaah, if you accept that the Qur'aan is created, a lot of people will go along with that, but if you do not, then neither will they. Even if this man (al-Ma'moon) does not kill you, you will still die, because death is inevitable, so fear Allaah, and do not go along with (al-Ma'moon).? Ahmad began to weep and said, Ma sha Allaah Then he said, O Abu Ja'far, say it again,' so I said it again, and he kept saying, Ma sha Allaah. With regard to his being taken to al-Ma'moon, Imaam Ahmad said: We reached al-Rahbah at midnight, and a man came to us and said, Which of you is Ahmad ibn Hanbal He was told, This man. He said to the camel-driver, 'Slow down.' Then he said, Listen to me, why should you worry if you get killed here and go to Paradise Then he said, May Allaah be with you, and left. I asked about him and I was told, He is an Arab from the tribe of Rabee'ah who deals with wool in the desert. He is called Jaabir ibn 'Aamir, and they say good things about him. (Siyar A'laam al-Nubala', 11/241). In al-Bidaayah wa'l-Nihaayah, it says that a Bedouin *said to Imaam Ahmad: Listen to me, you are a representative of the people, so do not be bad news for them. You are the leader of the people today, so beware of doing what they are asking you to do, lest you bear their sins on the Day of Resurrection. If you love Allaah, then bear this with patience, for the only thing standing between you and Paradise is your being killed. Imaam Ahmad said: His words strengthened my resolve not to do what they were asking me to do. (Al-Bidaayah wa'l-Nihaayah, 1/332).* It was reported that Imaam Ahmad said: I never heard any stronger words at that time than what a Bedouin said to me at Rahbat Tawq, a village between al- Raqqah and Baghdaad on the banks of the Euphrates. He said, O Ahmad, if they kill you for the truth, you will be a shaheed (martyr), and if you live, you will be praised. And so my heart grew strong. (Siyar A'laam al-Nubala', 11/241). Imaam Ahmad said of the young man Muhammad ibn Nooh, who accompanied him at that time of trial: Even though he was so young, he had such great knowledge, and I never saw anyone who adhered more firmly to the command of Allaah than Muhammad ibn Nooh, and I hope that his end was good. *He said to me one day, O Abu 'Abd-Allaah, you are not like me. You are a man whom people follow, and they are straining their necks to see what you will do, so fear Allaah and adhere to His commands.? Then he died, and I prayed the janaazah (funeral) prayer for him and buried him. (Siyar A'laam al-Nubala', 11/242)* Even his fellow-prisoners, whom Imaam Ahmad used to lead in prayer in chains, had a role to play in helping him to stand firm. One day when he was in prison, Imaam Ahmad said, I don't care about being in prison ? it is no different from my home ? or about being killed by the sword, but I am afraid of the trial of being whipped.? One of the other prisoners heard him and said, Don't worry, O Abu 'Abd-Allaah, it is only two lashes of the whip, then you don't feel where the rest fall. It was as if this reassured him and calmed him down. (Siyar A?laam al-Nubala?, 11/240) Al-Ma'mun adopted this belief, and came to torture Ahmad bin Hambal, so that he would do the same. al-Ma'mun died, al-Mu'tasim continued in torturing him, and he took a stand for Allah - the Mighty and Exalted - in which he honored this religion. Eighteen years, and three rulers who tortured him so that he would accept and endorse the belief of the Qur'an being created, but, he refused. Then came al-Wathiq, who reversed all that had happened in terms of the affair of the creation of the Qur'an. He wanted to honor Ahmad bin Hambal publicly, but, *Imam* Ahmad refused. So, he sent for his sons and showered them with gifts, which they accepted. When Ahmad bin Hambal learned that his sons had accepted the gifts of al-Wathiq, he built a wall between his home and theirs, boycotting them. One day, Ahmad bin Hambal became sick. So, his doctor instructed him to roast a ear of corn in the oven and eat it. So, he bought the corn, and asked that it be roasted. So, it was taken to the oven of his uncle, Salih. When it was brought back to Ahmad, he asked: Where did you roast it? They said: In the oven of your uncle, Salih. He said: I will not even taste it, as his wealth has been mixed with the gifts of the ruler. As a result, it got to the point that even the *jinn *would fear him! A crazed girl was brought to al-Wathiq, so, he said: Send her to Ahmad

Bismillah [IslamCity] ON DUELING
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu CHAPTER 9: ON DUELING: http://www.alkhilafah.net/jihad.html Dueling is allowed according to the consensus of the scholars. Accepting the invitation to a duel by a nonbeliever is recommended. Asking for a duel is neither recommended nor discouraged according to the Madhab of al Shafi’i. It is appropriate for the experienced and is discouraged for the weak, who doesn’t have sufficient confidence in himself. In fact it is said that it is prohibited for such a person to ask for a duel. It is Sunnah to get the permission of the Amir (leader) but it is still allowed without his knowledge. Imam Malik was asked about the ones who stand out in front of the army and ask for a duel. He said: It depends on his intentions. If he is doing it for the sake of Allah, I do not see a problem with that. Since that was the tradition of the ones before us. Imam al Shafi’i said: I don’t see a problem with duels. Know that duels during wars, and accepting the invitation to it, is the way of the heroes, it is the badge of honor for the brave men, and it has been their pride during Islam and before. 156. Amr bin Abdwod (one of the greatest fighters of Quraish) during the battle of the trench came out asking for a duel. Ali, veiled in iron armory, stood up and said: “I would” The Messenger of Allah refused to allow him and said: “It is Amr! Sit down!” Amr called again saying: “Isn’t there a man among you! Where is the Paradise that you claim whoever dies among you will enter it? Isn’t there a man among you to stand up and face me?” Ali stood again and said: “I would” The Messenger of Allah said: “It is Amr! Sit down!” Amr called again, this time reciting lines of poetry challenging the Muslims. Ali stood for the third time and said: “I would”. The Messenger of Allah said: “It is Amr” Ali responded: “And what if it is Amr!” The Messenger of Allah this time allowed him. Ali walked up to Amr reciting to him lines of poetry. Amr told him: “Who are you?” He said: “Ali the son of Abu Talib” Amr said: “Have someone of your seniors step forward instead. I wouldn’t want to spill your blood my son!” Ali said: “But I would be happy to spill yours!” Amr was furious. He walked towards Ali and pulled out his sword violently from its sheath as if it was a blaze of fire. He struck Ali angrily but Ali protected himself with his shield. The strike was so strong it passed through the shield and injured Ali in the head. However, Ali surprised Amr with a swift strike on his shoulder that threw Amr down in a cloud of dust that erupted from their fight. The Messenger of Allah then heard the thunderous takbir of the Muslims. Ali has killed Amr bin Abdwod.282 157. While Khalid was laying siege to a town, one of their fighters came out of the gates with a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left and he asked for a duel. A Muslim volunteered to fight him and killed him. Then the Muslim asked for a duel so they sent out to him their greatest fighter. The Muslim killed him. He asked for a third duel. This time they told him: “Let the devil fight you!” 158. Ali said: Utbah bin Rabi’ah, his son al Walid and his brother Shaybah came out in Badr asking for duels. Three young men from Al Ansar went to face them. Utbah asked them who they were. When they told him, he said: “We have no desire in fighting you. Sent out to us our equals from our own people (meaning from Quraish)” The Messenger of Allah said: “Stand up Hamzah. Stand up Ali. Stand up Ubaydah bin al Harith” Hamzah faced Utbah and killed him and I faced Shaybah and killed him, while Ubaydah and al Walid both injured each other and fell down. Hamzah and me walked up to Al Walid and finished him off and we carried Ubaydah away.283 282 (Ibn Hisham) 283 (Abu Dawud) - 95 - Source Mashari Al-Ashwaq Ila Masari Al-Ushaaq Wa theer Al-Gharaam Ila Daar Assalaam Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

Bismillah [IslamCity] Lets Not Forget This In Ramadhan...!!!
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu Assalamu alaykum All, Ramadan Mubarak to all of you. We ask Allah to guide us to the best deeds and to accept from us our fasting and prayers. Ramadan is the month of Quran and generosity. In Abbas says: I have never seen anyone more generous than Rasulullah, and he would be most generous in Ramadan when Gibril would read Quran with him Imam Malik used to close the books of hadith and fiqh in Ramadan and devote his time to Quran. Allah says: The month of Ramadan in which Quran was revealed. So the revelation of Quran began in Ramadan. Therefore dear brothers and sisters we should focus on Quran during the holy month. Lets not forget too that the month of Ramadan was a time when great battles were fought such as the battle of the criterion, the battle of Badr, and the greatest conquest, the opening of Makkah. There is also the important battle that saved the Muslims from the Mongol invasion, the battle of Ayn Jalut. So we should not forget our brothers who are carrying on this duty today from our dua and support. Lastly, we need to keep in mind that while we are enjoying the blessing of freedom and having iftar with our families that we have thousands of brothers behind bars and only Allah knows what conditions they are in and there are thousands of families who are deprived the presence of their loved ones. Lets pray for them during this blessed month. O Allah free our Muslim brothers from the prisons of the tyrants and shower on them and their families Your mercy. O Allah accept our good deeds and forgive us our mistakes. http://www.anwar-alawlaki.com/2008/09/01/ramadan-mubarak/ *Ramadhan In Prison* http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=K5yOjaXKupU -- *Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

Bismillah [IslamCity] Prostration of Forgetfulness
*Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu* Prostration of Forgetfulness Sujud-al-Sahu Two Types Ibn Mas'ood, may Allaah be pleased with him, that the Prophet (peace be upon him) prayed either an extraneous addition or missed an essential part of the prayer (one of the narrators of the hadeeth was in doubt which). After saying 'salaam,' it was said to him, Oh Prophet of Allaah, has there been a new change in [the way of performing] the prayer? He replied, Why [would you say that]? They responded, You prayed in such and such manner. So he bent his legs and faced towards the qiblah and performed two prostrations then performed tasleem (saying 'salaam' to the right then the left). After facing towards us, he said, If something new had been introduced regarding the prayers, I would have informed you about it. To the contrary, I am but a human like you—I forget as you forget, so if I forget, remind and inform me. If any of you doubts during his prayer then he should try to discern the more certain and correct case, then complete the prayer based upon it, then perform tasleem, followed by two prostrations. (Al-Bukhari, Fath Al-Baari #401). Hadeeth related by Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri, may Allaah be pleased with him, in which he said: the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, If any of you doubts during his prayer and he does not know how many [raka'aat] he has prayed, whether it is three or four, then he should discard and cast away his doubt. He is to continue upon what one is sure of [i.e. the lesser] then perform two prostrations before making tasleem. If he ends up [in reality] praying five [raka'aat], then his prayer will be an intercession for him; and if he ends up completely the [requisite] four [raka'aat] then it is targheeman for shaytaan. (targheeman: i.e., a way of vexing Satan and humiliating and debasing him, as well as rejecting him as a result of his failure to achieve his desire of disturbing the worshipper.) (Al-Nawawi in explaining the hadeeth from Sahih Muslim, 5/60). Actions while Praying Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 22 :: Hadith 320 Narrated Salama bin 'Alqama: I asked Muhammad (bin Sirin) whether Tashah-hud should be recited after the two prostrations of Sahu. He replied, It is not (mentioned) in Abu Huraira's narration . -- *Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).

Bismillah [IslamCity] Firmness Self Control
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu * Firmness Self Control* * Surah Ale Imran 3:14 Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: women and sons; heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (to return to). *15 Say: shall I give you glad tidings of things far better than those? For the righteous are gardens in nearness to their Lord with rivers flowing beneath; therein is their eternal home; with companions pure (and holy) and the good pleasure of Allah. For in Allah's sight are (all) His servants. * 16 (Namely) those who say: Our Lord! we have indeed believed: forgive us then our sins and save us from the agony of the fire. 17 Those who show patience firmness and self-control; who are true (in word and deed); who worship devoutly; who spend (in the way of Allah); and who pray for forgiveness in the early hours of the morning. *18 There is no god but He: that is the witness of Allah His angels and those endued with knowledge standing firm on justice. There is no god but He the Exalted in Power the Wise. 19 The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His will): nor did the people of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah Allah is swift in calling to account.* 20 So if they dispute with thee say: I have submitted my whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me. And say to the people of the Book and to those who are unlearned: Do ye (also) submit yourselves? If they do they are in right guidance but if they turn back thy duty is to convey the Message; and in Allah's sight are (all) His servants. --* Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).
