{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness), and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: I am one of the Muslims.} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels. [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all.
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]

[IslamCity] Muslims in Europe: Country guide
Muslims in Europe: Country guide Islam is widely considered Europe's fastest growing religion, with immigration and above average birth rates leading to a rapid increase in the Muslim population. The exact number of Muslims is difficult to establish however, as census figures are often questioned and many countries choose not to compile such information anyway. ALBANIA Total population: 3.1 million Muslim population: 2.2 million (70%) Background: Religious worship was banned in Albania until the transition from Stalinist state to democracy in the 1990s. Islam is now openly recognised as the country's major religion and most Albanians are Sunni Muslim by virtue of the nation's history: The Balkans has had centuries of association with the faith as many parts of it were part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. While the empire is long gone, the culture remained in place. Significant populations of Albanian Muslims exist in a number of other European countries. Sources: Total population - Albanian Institute of Statistics, 2005; Muslim population - UK Foreign Office. Return to top AUSTRIA Total population: 8.2 million Muslim population: 339,000 (4.1%) Background: Large numbers of Muslims lived under Austrian rule when Bosnia-Hercegovina was annexed by Austria-Hungary in 1908. Many of Austria's Muslims have roots in Turkey and others arrived from the Balkans during the 1990s wars - partly because of historical ties. Islam has been recognised as an official religion in Austria for many years, meaning that it has a role in the religious teaching in schools. Vienna has historically been regarded as the point where the Islamic world reached its most western point, a critical battle in Austria in the 16th century marking the beginning of the decline of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. Sources: Total population - Statistics Austria, 2005 figures; Muslim population - Statistics Austria, 2001 figures. Return to top BELGIUM Total population: 10.3 million Muslim population: 0.4 million (4%) Background: Islam is one of seven recognised religions in Belgium, a status that brings it a number of subsidies and official roles, such as providing teachers. Despite this there have been complaints of discrimination. Unemployment and poor housing have been one such cause of tension. There have also been claims of discrimination against women in traditional dress. A majority of Belgium's Muslims are of Moroccan or Turkish origin; many others are from Albania. (Citizenship is available after seven years). Sources: Total population - Statistics Belgium 2001; Muslim population - US State Department. Return to top BOSNIA-HERCEGOVINA Total population: 3.8 million Muslim population: 1.5 million (40%) Background: Bosnia-Hercegovina is still recovering from the bloody inter-ethnic war of 1992-95. Around 250,000 people died in the conflict between Bosnian Muslims, Croats and Serbs. Almost 8,000 Muslims were killed by Bosnian Serbs at Srebrenica in 1995 - Europe's worst atrocity since World War II. Many Muslims were displaced, as were members of other communities. A peacekeeping force remains in the country, whose frontiers have long been considered the western borders of the Islamic faith in Europe. Sources: Total population - Agency for Statistics Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2003 figures; Muslim population - US State Department. Return to top DENMARK Total population: 5.4 million Muslim population: 270,000 (5%) Background: In the 1970s Muslims arrived from Turkey, Pakistan, Morocco and the former Yugoslavia to work. In the 1980s and 90s the majority of Muslim arrivals were refugees and asylum seekers from Iran, Iraq, Somalia and Bosnia. Access to housing and employment have been sources of concern for Muslims in Denmark. (A minority have citizenship). Sources: Total population - Statistics Denmark, 2004 figures; Muslim population - US State Department. Return to top FRANCE Total population: 62.3 million Muslim population: Five to six million (8-9.6%) Background: The French Muslim population is the largest in western Europe. About 70% have their heritage in former north African colonies of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. France favours integration and many Muslims are citizens. Nevertheless, the growth of the community has challenged the French ideal of strict separation of religion and public life. There has been criticism that Muslims face high unemployment and often live in poor suburbs. A ban on religious symbols in public schools provoked a major national row as it was widely regarded as being a ban on the Islamic headscarf. Late 2005 saw widespread and prolonged rioting among mainly immigrant communities across France. Sources: Total population - National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies, 2004 figures; Muslim population - French government estimate. Return to top GERMANY Total population: 82.5 million

[IslamCity] The evil eye
Assalamu alaikum rahmatu Allah wa barakatu. Recently I have been having a big
problem. I was wondering if someone could give me advice on this. I am scared
to go out of my home. Maybe it sounds stupid but I have been getting the evil
eye so bad I almost get like a panic. Just the other day I was walking my baby
in the stroller with my friend when a man driving by in a car yelled a rude
comment to me. People give me aweful looks and are rude to me. Alhomdulilah I
wear hijab. My husband tells me I don't want to hear it when I tell him about
it. I just don't know what to. I live in the U.S. I can't just stay in the
house all the time, but what should I do? You brothers wouldn't believe the way
we sisters get treated sometimes. Subhana Allah. Assalamu alaikum rahmatu Allah
wa barakatu.

[IslamCity] Inews Daily - 29/03/06
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Inews Daily Wednesday 29thMarch 2006 - 28thSafar 1427 US envoy 'calls for new Iraqi PM' The US ambassador to Iraq has told Shia leaders that the US government does not want Ibrahim Jaafari to remain prime minister. He said President Bush "doesn't want, doesn't support, doesn't accept" the retention of Mr Jaafari. The Iraqi PM's spokesman accused the US of trying to subvert Iraqi sovereignty. The Shia United Iraqi Alliance chose Mr Jaafari as its candidate in February after winning December's election. Kurdish and Sunni Arab parties had previously rejected the UIA's nomination and threatened to boycott a national unity government. The US ambassador had passed on his government's dissatisfaction with Mr Jaafari at a meeting with the leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, Abd al-Aziz al-Hakim. Bomb attack on Pakistan marketA bomb has killed a policeman and injured 16 civilians in Peshawar hours after the US consulate in the northwestern Pakistani city closed due to a security threat. Officials said a time bomb attached to a motorcycle exploded in the crowded Khyber bazaar in central Peshawar yesterday. The city's chief of police said the blast happened as the city was on high alert after threats to the US consulate. "It was a time bomb which exploded when the market was full of customers," Rehman said. "One policeman who was passing by was killed and 16 other people were hurt. A spokeswoman for the US embassy in Islamabad said earlier that the Peshawar consulate had closed "because of information about a specific and credible threat". 19 Iraqis kidnappedGunmen dressed as police kidnapped 19 people working for a money changer and two household appliance shops in Baghdad on Tuesday, police said. The abductions happened in three separate areas in northern and central Baghdad. It was not immediately clear whether the three incidents were related. On Monday, gunmen also kidnapped 16 employees of Baghdad trading company Al Saeed Import Export in the upscale Mansour district of the capital. Kidnappings have become a common occurence in Iraq and the US forces have been shown to have a hand in such incidences which are perpetrated to stir up unrest and civil war. Bashir warns he will not accept deployment of foreign troopsArab leaders gathered yesterday at a summit focused on mounting chaos in Iraq and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while rifts emerged over host Sudans rejection of UN troops for war-torn Darfur. Addressing the summit amid tensions, its host, Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir, warned that Khartoum would not accept the deployment of foreign troops in its troubled western Darfur region. "The African Union forces are capable of accomplishing their mission in Darfur without any foreign intervention," Bashir told the one-day gathering in Khartoum. Instead, Bashir called on "Arab countries and the international community to support financially the AU forces," which are cash strapped and undermanned. The UN Security Council voted on Friday to speed up plans to deploy peacekeepers to replace the African Union mission in Darfur. Egypt threatens to sue USEgypt yesterday threatened to take legal action against a US museum unless it returns an ancient mask in its collection that the authorities claim was stolen from a warehouse years ago. The St Louis Art Museum has a week to turn over the 19th dynasty (1307-1196 BC) mask of Ka-nefer-nefer or face legal action, according to the secretary general of Egypts Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA). "I have informed the American side in a letter that if they do no respond to our request we will take the necessary legal measures and file a case in a US court and inform Interpol," the antiquities chief said in a statement. Egypt has warned it will end cooperation with foreign museums and institutions that buy stolen artifacts. Action against 10 Haj firms for negligenceThe Ministry of Haj has taken punitive action against several domestic-pilgrim service companies for negligence. An official statement stated that services of 10 companies were suspended for one to three years. The ministry was acting on the decisions taken by a three-member committee comprising representatives of the ministries of Interior, Haj and Commerce, which imposed fines ranging from SR5,000 to SR20,000 on 31 companies, the statement said. Only 12 heads of state take part in Arab meetAn Arab summit opened in the Sudanese capital Khartoum yesterday with only about 12 heads of state present, a disappointment for the Sudanese hosts who wanted a show of solidarity against international criticism. Other governments from the 22-member Arab League sent senior representatives. Among the notable absentees were President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, the most populous Arab country, and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. Algerian President Abdelaziz

[IslamCity] Assalamu alaikum rahmatu Allah wa barakatu.
Assalamu alaikum rahmatu Allah wa barakatu. I have a question. I have an eight
month old son and it is very hard to find babies for him to play with. I met
this girl who's husband is muslim but doesn't pray. Her son is supposevly
muslim too (her baby boy). She on the other hand is christian. I tried giving
her dawah. And giving her books about Islam and Qur'an. She is a little bit
interested. But my question is, it is ok to be her friend? I am a little
confused about this issue. Please somebody explain.
