"Do not break off ties with one another, do not turn away from one another, do not hate one another, do not envy one another. Be brothers, as Allah (SWT) has commanded you." [Sahih Muslim, 16/120, Kitab al-birr wa'l-silah wa'l-adab, bab tahrim al-zann wa'l-tajassus wa'l-tanafus] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character. Watch your character, they become destiny.
Can somebody give me the sun, so my darkness disappear Can somebody give me safety, so I can lose my fear? Can somebody give me a rainbow, cause my days are to grey? I try to follow the right path, but my feet walk the wrong way
Can somebody please stop the rain, I need dryness Can somebody turn on a flashlight, cause I only see darkness Can somebody help me understand, so I can reach the truth? Its like I want to bite, but I don't even have one tooth
Can somebody give me help, to move on with my life? Can somebody give me advice, to get along with my wife? Can somebody wake me up, take me away from my nightmare Or was it reality, nowadays its hard to compare
Can somebody pull me up, cause I'm falling down? Can somebody rescue me, cause I'm about to drown Can somebody please grab my hand when I reach out? Take me away from the wrong, to the right route
As salam alai kum wa rahmatullillahi wa barakatahu , A young man had been to Wednesday Night Class of Quranic Studies. The Mualim had shared about listening to Allah and obeying Allah through intuition. The young man couldn't help but wonder, 'Does Allah still speak to people through intuition?' After Lessons, he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message. Several different ones talked about how Allah had led them in different ways and that at the end you'll know it was Allah(SWT) Who has directed you. It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, 'Allah...If you still speak to people, speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey.'
As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out loud, 'Allah is that you?' He didn't get a reply and started on toward home. But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk came into his head. 'Okay, Allah, in case that is you, I will buy the milk.' It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home. As he passed Seventh Street , he again felt the urge, 'Turn Down that street.' This is crazy he thought, and drove on past the intersection. Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street .. At the next intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh. Half jokingly, he said out loud, 'Okay, Allah, I will.'
He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in a semi-commercial area of town. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either. The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark like the people were already in bed.
Again, he sensed something, 'Go and give the milk to the people in the house across the street.' The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat.
'Allah, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid.' Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk. Finally, he opened the door, 'Okay Allah(SWT), if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something, but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here.'
He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man's voice yelled out, 'Who is it? What do you want?' Then the door opened before the young man could get away. The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep. 'What is it?' The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, 'Here, I brought this to you.'
The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway. Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming down his face.
The man began speaking and half crying, 'We were just praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking Allah(SWT) to show me how to get some milk.' His wife in the kitchen yelled out, 'I ask him to send an Angel with some. Are you an Angel?'
The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man's hand. He turned and walked back toward his car and the tears were streaming down his face. He knew that Allah (SWT) still answers prayers.
The tenth day of the month of Zul-Hijjah is celebrated by the 1500 millions strong Muslim Ummah as the Eid(Festival) of Qurbani(Sacrifice) during the Hajj(The Annual International Assembly of the Muslims in the World) rituals performed in the holy land of Makkah Mukarramah.
I extend my Happy and Heartiest Greetings to the Muslims in the world on this auspicious occasion of Eid of Sacrifice(Qurbani) with the hope that Muslims in the world will successfully resist and defeat the conspiracies of neo-colonialism and imperialism and eradicate oppression,poverty,ignorance and corruption in the world.
PICTURES, MAGAZINES AND TV: PUTTING THEM IN A PLACE OF PRAYER
Photos fall under the category of unlawful pictures, photos and all other form of pictures, no matter what instrument is used to create them, share the same ruling: They are unlawful. Also it makes no difference what you mentioned about the photo requiring no effort. It makes no difference as all photos are unlawful regardless of the means to produce them. It is permissible to buy educational magazines, magazines filled with useful information, even if they have pictures of humans or animals in them. This is because we buy the magazine not for the pictures but for the news and information. And it is permissible to place such a magazine in a place of prayer, but by either covering the pictures or obliterating the head of the pictures. It is not permissible to put a television in a place of prayer because of the falsehood and frivolity that television signifies.
It is not allowed to take pictures of beings that have souls, a rule that encompasses cameras and other instruments, with the exception of pictures that are necessary such as: Passports or identity photos.
Allaah says: "But do not help one another in sin and transgression." (Ma'idah 5:2)
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.571 Narrated by Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet saw pictures in the Ka'ba, he did not enter it till he ordered them to be erased. When he saw (the pictures of Abraham and Ishmael carrying the arrows of divination, he said, "May Allah curse them (i.e. the Quraish)! By Allah, neither Abraham nor Ishmael practiced divination by arrows."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.570 Narrated by Ibn Abbas: The Prophet entered the Ka'ba and found in it the pictures of (Prophet) Abraham and Mary. On that he said' "What is the matter with them ( i.e. Quraish)? They have already heard that angels do not enter a house in which there are pictures; yet this is the picture of Abraham. And why is he depicted as practicing divination by arrows?"
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 7.836 Narrated by Aisha: I never used to leave in the Prophet's house anything carrying images or crosses but he obliterated it.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 7.840 Narrated by Aisha: I purchased a cushion with pictures on it. The Prophet (came and) stood at the door but did not enter. I said (to him), "I repent to Allah for what (the guilt) I have done." He said, "What is this cushion?" I said, "It is for you to sit on and recline on." He said, "The makers of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to them, 'Make alive what you have created.' Moreover, the angels do not enter a house where there are pictures.'"
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 7.841 Narrated by Abu Talha: Allah's Apostle said, "Angels (of mercy) do not enter a house where there are pictures." The sub-narrator Busr added: "Then Zaid fell ill and we paid him a visit. Behold! There was, hanging at his door, a curtain decorated with a picture. I said to 'Ubaidullah Al-Khaulani, the stepson of Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet, "Didn't Zaid tell us about the picture the day before yesterday?" 'Ubaidullah said, "Didn't you hear him saying: 'except a design in a garment'?"
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.448 Narrated by Abu Talha: I heard Allah's Apostle saying; "Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal)."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 7.843 Narrated by Salim’s father: Once Gabriel promised to visit the Prophet but he delayed and the Prophet got worried about that. At last he came out and found Gabriel and complained to him of his grief (for his delay). Gabriel said to him, "We do not enter a place in which there is a picture or a dog."

Six Attacks by Shaytaan - Ten Defenses
The evil of Shaytaan is limited to six categories, he continues [to assault] mankind until he succeeds in one or more of them: 1) The evil of polytheism and disbelief; 2) Then innovations; 3) Next are the major sins; 4) Then the minor sins; 5) Subsequently, busying people with practicing Mubahaat [Actions that one is neither ordered to do or prohibited from performing specifically] 6) Next is busying them with practicing deeds which are good instead of deeds which are better.
The reasons that safeguard a servant from the Shaytaan are ten: 1) Seeking refuge with Allaah from him;
2) Reading al Mu'awathatain [ Surat an Nas and Surat al Falaq];
3) Reading Ayatul Kursi;
4) Reading Surat al Baqarah;
5) Reading the ending of Surat al Baqarah [last two verses];
6) The believer reading from the beginning of {Haa Meem.} until {to Him is the final return.} [Ghafir: 1-3];
7) Saying what translated means: 'There is no deity worthy of worship but Allaah, alone having no partners, to him belongs the dominion, to him belongs all praise, and He has the ability to do all things.' One hundred times;
8) Practicing the remembrance of Allaah a lot;
9) Performing ablution along with prayers;
10) Refraining from supernumerary (extra) looking around, talking, eating and mixing with people.
And you also ukti,
Thanks for keeping in touch.
Happy Ramadan, may allah accept our fasting and forgive our
sins!!! Ameen!
