Re: Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Ramadan, please say a prayer for Herbert.
BISMILLAH Dear Brother Said, Thankyou for your kind wishes. Herbert is a Muslim, he has been for many years. His faith keeps him strong! Allah is extremely important to both of us. The block Herbert's on , on death row, has many Muslim inhabitants. Herbert's black and i'm white and we have both had to tolerate several racist / anti Islamic remarks. Complaining only makes it worse. Herbert is innocent, he doesn't deserve this but we also know that Allah will deliver us from this situation when the time's right. Herbert was a muslim long before this all happened ! May Allah bless you!

A short time ago some of you were kind enough to sign a petition for my Fiance , Herbert J.Blakeney. I just wanted to up date you all and ask you to pray for him! Herbert is an innocent Muslim on Death row for a crime committed by a Police Officer. Recently Herbert filed a perjury case against the witnesses in his Criminal case, ie. the cops. He was then appointed the same counsel he'd had in his original trial so he appealed to the Attorney General to stand down that counsel and appoint another. This was denied! Three times in recent months we've been advised to DROP the perjury case as it's ' a fast track to his execution!' WHY? What are 'they' afraid of? 'They' know we can't afford the Attorney we need to unravel Herberts case and 'they' know the perjury case would prove Herberts innocence!! Even though we know the perjury case would secure his innocence, how can we take the risk 'they'll' execute him to keep the truth from coming out?? We're in a no win situation!!! This is so wrong. Herbert is INNOCENT yet 'they'll' execute an innocent man to save themselves. Where's the justice? So please pray for a miracle Insha-allah.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Islamic Concept of Life
* * * * * * *The Islamic Concept of Life * IN Islam, man's entire individual and social life is an exercise in developing and strengthening his relationship with Allah. The starting point of our religion consists of the acceptance of this relationship by man 's intellect and will. Islam means submission to the will of Allah in all aspects of life. The Islamic code of conduct is known as the Shariah. Its sources are the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh). The final Book of Allah and His final Messenger stand today as the repositories of this truth. Everyone who agrees that the concept of Reality expounded by the Prophet, and the Holy Book is true, should step forward and surrender himself to the Will of Allah. It is this submission which is called Islam, the result of Iman in actual life. And those who of their own freewill accept Allah as their Sovereign, surrender to His Divine will and undertake to regulate their lives in accordance with His commandments, are called Muslims. All those persons who thus surrender themselves are welded into a community and that is how the 'Muslim Society' comes into being. It is an ideological society, radically different from those which are founded on the basis of race, color or territory. It is the result of a deliberate choice, the outcome of a 'contract ' which takes place between human beings and their Creator. Those who enter into this contract undertake to recognize Allah as their Sovereign, His guidance as supreme and His injunctions as absolute Law. They also undertake to accept, without question, His word as to what is good or evil, right or wrong, permissible or prohibited. In short, freedoms in the Islamic society are limited by the commandments of the Omniscient Allah. In other words, it is Allah and not man whose will is the primary source of Law in a Muslim society. When such a society comes into existence, the Book and the Messenger prescribe for it a code of life called the Shariah and this society is bound to conform to it by virtue of the contract it has entered into. It is, therefore, inconceivable that a real Muslim society can deliberately adopt any other system of life than that based on the Shariah. If it does so, its contract is ipso facto broken and it becomes 'un-Islamic. ' But we must clearly distinguish between the everyday sins of the individual and a deliberate revolt against the Shariah. The former may not mean a breaking of the contract, while the latter most certainly would. The point that should be clearly understood is that if an Islamic society consciously resolves not to accept the Shariah, and decides to enact its own constitution and laws or borrows them from any other source in disregard of the Shariah, such a society breaks its contract with Allah and forfeits its right to be called 'Islamic.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Israeli policies target Palestinian families
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Israeli policies target Palestinian families Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2007 12:34:00 - - Israeli policies target Palestinian families Ida Audeh, The Electronic Intifada, Sep 18, 2007 Israel's practice of denying family reunification permits and denying entry to foreign passport holders (many but not all of whom are of Palestinian origin) is part of a campaign of ridding the occupied territories (including East Jerusalem) of Palestinians and tightly controlling those it is obliged to retain. The practice takes aim at Palestinian families: it splits families apart, denies Palestinian communities access to foreign and expatriate talent, deprives the economically hard-hit territories of foreign currency, and further isolates the Palestinians under occupation. The Campaign for the Right of Entry/Re-Entry to the Palestinian Occupied Territories (www.righttoenter.ps) estimates that more than 150,000 family reunification applications were submitted to the Israeli occupation authorities between 1973 and 1982 but that only 1,000 were approved each year. Between 1983 and 2000, the annual number of approved applications has fluctuated between 1,000 and 3,000. Since the second intifada began in September 2000, Israel has not processed about 120,000 family reunification applications. Multiply that by four or five (a conservative estimate; most Palestinian families are much larger), and the number of people affected by the Israeli refusal to grant residency rights to Palestinians with foreign passports becomes apparent. As applied to Palestinian residents in East Jerusalem, the policy is clearly designed to drive out as many indigenous Palestinians as possible, with the aim of maintaining a Jewish majority in the city.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Bollywood star branded Muslim 'non-believer' after Hindu festival
Bollywood star branded Muslim 'non-believer' after Hindu festival LUCKNOW, India (AFP) Bollywood bad boy Salman Khan is in hot water again -- this time with some of the country's Muslim clerics. Khan, known for playing a tough guy in his films, has been branded a non-believer and ordered to reaffirm his faith in Islam after participating in a festival honouring the Hindu elephant god Ganesh in Mumbai on Tuesday. The order came from scholars at the influential Daarul-Ifta Manzare school in northern Uttar Pradesh state, which claims hundreds of thousands of followers among India's approximately 140 million Muslims. Be it a pauper or a king, everyone has to follow the dictates of Islam -- nobody has been given the exemption to bypass the tenants of the religion, religious scholar Nafeez Khan told AFP by telephone. The 41-year-old actor must reaffirm his faith before an imam and two witnesses, the cleric said, describing the religious decree as right and appropriate. Khan was released on bail last month pending his appeal against a conviction for killing protected wildlife. He also faces charges of manslaughter after a road accident in 2002 left one person dead and four injured. Comment: This is one of the problems of Muslims living as a minority in India, some Muslims will do anything to fit in, but still the Hindu Fanatic parties will demand more. So actions like this attempting to integrate and gain acceptance achieve nothing except compromise ones own belief. The Islamic scholars are correct when they say that everyone must follow the teachings of Islam regardless of social class and its a good thing that they are speaking out about such issues. It is their silence in the past about societal issues which has led to Muslims only practicing Islam inside the masjid and follwoing non-Islam in the rest of their lives.

Ibn Abbass (ra) debate with Harooreyya (Hawarej)
Darultawhid Forum
Abdurrazzak, Abu Nuaym, Bayhakee and others
Narrated from Ibn Abbas, He said: Hawarij came together in a place with hatred
and agreed upon to oppose (by fighting) with Ali (ra) and the Prophet (saw)s
ashab (companions) who stayed with Ali (ra). He {Ibn Abbas (ra)} said: A man
came and he started saying O Amir al Muminun (chief) this group will oppose
you. Ali (ra) replied: Leave them alone until they come and fight with me. For
they will (fight with me).
One day I told Ali (ra) O Amir al Muminun delay the pray so I will not miss,
and meantime I will go and talk to them. He (Ali) said: I (Ali) fear they will
hurt you. I (Ibn Abbas) replied: No, They wont hurt me inshaAllah. I am a
kind man who is gentile towards everyone and I never hurt anyone.
Ibni Abbas (ra) said: I wore one of the most beautiful cloths from this
yamamniyya (a kind of fabric). (Abu Zammal added: Ibni Abbas was a beautiful,
handsome man) Ibni Abbas said: I went the place they were at. They were resting
hence it was noon. Ive never seen anyone with strong effort in ibadaah as
them. Their hands were like the knees of camels. (Due to doing so much ibadaah
their hands got marked) The mark of sujuud (worship) could be seen on their
faces easily. They had washed cloths on. Their faces were thin due to lack of
sleep.
When I arrived there they asked me: What about this cloth you are wearing?
Ibni Abbas: Do you criticize me with this? I saw better one on the prophet
(saw) and then this verse revealed: Say: Who hath forbidden the beautiful
(gifts) of Allah, which He hath produced for His servants, and the things,
clean and pure, (which He hath provided) for sustenance? (al-Araf 32)
Why did you come here? they asked. Ibn Abbas replied: I came here to mention
to you about the people who were the companions of the prophet (saw), and the
ones whom the verses of Quran was revealed on, none of them are here with
you. Some of them said: Do not argue with Quraish. Allah (swt) stated: They
are a contentious people (az-Zukhruf 58) Two or three of them said: Talk to
them.
Ibni Abbas said: What is your problem with the cousin and the son in-law of
the prophet (saw), and the first one to have iman, and the one whom the
companions stand with? They said: We opposed him with three things. Ibn
Abbas said: What are they?
They replied: The first is that He obtained an arbitrator in the deen of
Allah. Whereas Allah (swt) stated: the command is for none but Allah. (Yusuf
40). After Allahs statement what will be left for the people to rule on?
What else? said Ibn Abbas. They replied: Ali fought with some people but he
did not take any slave nor spoil (ganimaah). If the ones whom he fought with
were kaafir their merchandise should be permissible for Ali. (He should take
their goods as capture) If they were Muslims, it was not permissible to shed
their blood. What else? said Ibn Abbas. They replied: He disclaimed from
the title of being Amir al Muminun. If he is not Amir al Muminun then he is
Amir al kafirun. Do you have any other claim? asked Ibn Abbas. They said:
These are enough for us.
Ibni Abbas: If I provide evidence from Allahs (swt) muhkam book and His (swt)
prophets (saw) sunnah would you change your claims? They replied: Yes Ibn
Abbas continued: About your opinion of mankinds ruling in the deen of Allah
(swt); Allah (swt) stated: from O ye who believe! Kill not game while in the
sacred precincts or in pilgrim garb... to as adjudged by two just men among
you (al-Maeda 95) regarding a wife and her husband Allah (swt) stated: If ye
fear a breach between them twain, appoint (two) arbiters, one from his family,
and the other from hers (an-Nisa 35) Now, I am asking you with administration
to you with the oath of Allah (swt): Is it better to give ruling to stop
peoples killing each other, to bring them together, or to give ruling on its
worth will be only a quarter of a dirham a rabbit; and a few women? Moreover
you know that if He (swt) wished He (swt) would give the hukm (ruling) and He
(swt) would not leave the hukm for the mankind.
They said: Wallahi {oath of the name of Allah (swt)} to stop peoples killing
each other, to bring them together is better.
Ibn Abbas continued: About your opinion of Ali fought with the people but he
did not take any slave nor ganimaah. Tell me do you swear at your mother Aisha
(raa) or do you render permissible for her what is permissible for other women?
If so you are kaafir. If you say she (raa) is not the mother of

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Gaza teen crushed to death by israeli bulldozer
From: masrizhmd [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2007 05:46:58 - Subject: Gaza teen crushed to death by israeli bulldozer Gaza teen crushed to death by israeli bulldozer Yet another gruesome example of israel's unbridled brutality in its relentless quest for more land. A 16-year-old Palestinian boy was killed on Thursday after being run over by an Israeli army bulldozer during a military incursion in the Gaza Strip, medics and witnesses said. Mahmud Kayed was run over by the bulldozer when it lurched towards a group of youths throwing rocks at the vehicle during the army incursion in the Al-Bureij refugee camp, they said. Four Palestinians, including two militants from the Hamas movement that has ruled Gaza for three months, were wounded by Israeli gunfire during the operation, medics said. The two militants, one of whom was seriously wounded, were injured by helicopter fire, medics said. Israeli bulldozers were ripping up farmland in the area, while soldiers were going house to house searching for militants and weapons, they said. No comment from the Israeli army was immediately available. The death brings to 5,866 the number of people killed since the start of the second Palestinian uprising in in September 2000, the vast majority of them Palestinians, according to an AFP tally. It figures - no comment from israelis. What's there to say? The facts speak for themselves. israelis have no regard whatsoever for human lives other than their own. How much more evidence do Americans need before they recognize israelis for what they really are - a murderous, fanatical band of thieves - operating on our tax dollars.
Re: Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Why do we lack character
Because, people are selfish. They say they do everythings in this world for the almighty God, for the almighty ALLAH swt; and yet what they are doing are really for themselves. They are all hypocrites. If ALLAH swt doesnt promise them anything for their prayers, fasting, and their good deeds, would they do what are told for them to do. I doubted it. To estabished character, one has to be sincere in what they are doing, be it in prayers, fasting, or any good deeds, even if ALLAH doesnt reward them with heaven. Muhammad Latif Chaudhery@yahoo.com wrote:  Respected Scholars My question is why do we lack character when we have with us a forceful mechanism of social control to ward off evil. We often recite Prayer Keeps us away from Indecency and Evil. I add to it a few more verses from the book of Allah saying: 1.Worship Allah (2:21) so that you may ward off evil.تÙÙÙ ÙعÙÙÙ 2.Uphold strongly what has been given and remember its contents (2:63, 7:171) so that you may ward off evil.تÙÙÙ ÙعÙÙÙ 3.Observe Law of equivalence (2:179) so that you ward off evil.تÙÙÙ ÙعÙÙÙ 4.Fast during Ramadan (3:183)so that you may ward off evil.تÙÙÙ ÙعÙÙÙ 5.Do not touch the orphansâ money except in the most righteous manner, until they reach maturity.Give full weight and full measure when you trade, equitably.Be absolutely just when you bear witness, even against your relatives..Fulfill your covenant with God. ( 6:152-153) so that you may ward off evil. (تتÙÙÙ ÙعÙÙÙ ) laAAallakum tattaqoona The question is do we ever keep this objective in mind when offering Salat or perfoming other functions? My observation is NO, NEVER, NOT AT ALL. There is not a word to this effect in he liturgy of our saum-o-salat and frame work of other rituals. I have yet to see a supplication attached to any form of worship seeking abstention from indecency and evil. We only seek forgiveness for the crimes we commit. How then we expect to develop the quality of escaping indecency and evil when we neither wish nor intend and never pray for it.? The result is we are all good save lack of moral character.

On the ground, Syriaâs formidable air defences went dead. An audacious raid on a Syrian target 50 miles from the Iraqi border was under way. At a rendezvous point on the ground, a Shaldag air force commando team was waiting to direct their laser beams at the target for the approaching jets. The team had arrived a day earlier, taking up position near a large underground depot. Soon the bunkers were in flames. Ten days after the jets reached home, their mission was the focus of intense speculation this weekend amid claims that Israel believed it had destroyed a cache of nuclear materials from North Korea. The Israeli government was not saying. âThe security sources and IDF [Israeli Defence Forces] soldiers are demonstrating unusual courage,â said Ehud Olmert, the prime minister. âWe naturally cannot always show the public our cards.â The Syrians were also keeping mum. âI cannot reveal the details,â said Farouk al-Sharaa, the vice-president. âAll I can say is the military and political echelon is looking into a series of responses as we speak. Results are forthcoming.â The official story that the target comprised weapons destined for Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shiâite group, appeared to be crumbling in the face of widespread scepticism. Andrew Semmel, a senior US State Department official, said Syria might have obtained nuclear equipment from âsecret suppliersâ, and added that there were a ânumber of foreign techniciansâ in the country. Asked if they could be North Korean, he replied: âThere are North Korean people there. Thereâs no question about that.â He said a network run by AQ Khan, the disgraced creator of Pakistanâs nuclear weapons, could be involved. But why would nuclear material be in Syria? Known to have chemical weapons, was it seeking to bolster its arsenal with something even more deadly? Alternatively, could it be hiding equipment for North Korea, enabling Kim Jong-il to pretend to be giving up his nuclear programme in exchange for economic aid? Or was the material bound for Iran, as some authorities in America suggest? According to Israeli sources, preparations for the attack had been going on since late spring, when Meir Dagan, the head of Mossad, presented Olmert with evidence that Syria was seeking to buy a nuclear device from North Korea. The Israeli spy chief apparently feared such a device could eventually be installed on North-Korean-made Scud-C missiles. âThis was supposed to be a devastating Syrian surprise for Israel,â said an Israeli source. âWeâve known for a long time that Syria has deadly chemical warheads on its Scuds, but Israel canât live with a nuclear warhead.â An expert on the Middle East, who has spoken to Israeli participants in the raid, told yesterdayâs Washington Post that the timing of the raid on September 6 appeared to be linked to the arrival three days earlier of a ship carrying North Korean material labelled as cement but suspected of concealing nuclear equipment. The target was identified as a northern Syrian facility that purported to be an agricultural research centre on the Euphrates river. Israel had been monitoring it for some time, concerned that it was being used to extract uranium from phosphates. According to an Israeli air force source, the Israeli satellite Ofek 7, launched in June, was diverted from Iran to Syria. It sent out high-quality images of a northeastern area every 90 minutes, making it easy for air force specialists to spot the facility. Early in the summer Ehud Barak, the defence minister, had given the order to double Israeli forces on its Golan Heights border with Syria in anticipation of possible retaliation by Damascus in the event of air strikes. Sergei Kirpichenko, the Russian ambassador to Syria, warned President Bashar al-Assad last month that Israel was planning an attack, but suggested the target was the Golan Heights.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] 99 Names of Allah: AL- �ADHEEM (The All-Glorious)
99 Names of Allah: AL- ADHEEM (The All-Glorious) And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allâh, so call on Him by them. 7:180 AL- ADHEEM The All-Glorious To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and He is the Most High, the All-Glorious . ( Surat ash-Shura, 42:4) Allah's might and grandeur is surely beyond humanity's grasp. Yet, within the limits of their wisdom, people can still see and grasp His might. Indeed, the entire universe abounds with countless examples that indicate His greatness. A closer look at our own planet will make people feel His sublimity. The heavens carrying clouds that weigh many tons, mountains rising thousands of meters in the air, oceans harboring millions of living beings, a lightening flash and the noise of thunder following it, and billions of living beings that have submitted to Allahall of these and countless other details are clear signs of Allah's existence. To have a better grasp of our Lord's grandeur, let's move beyond the limits of our world and think: We live in an unbounded space, the universe, which contains billions of galaxies with countless billions of stars. We live in one of these galaxies on a planet called Earth, which rotates about its axis at a velocity of about 1.670 kilometers an hour. Just thinking on these vast figures make us realize that our existence in the universe is as insignificant as the existence of a dust particle on Earth. As this example also reveals, people given to sincere contemplation can grasp the majesty of their Lord, Who creates billions of galaxies and holds all of them in His hand. In one verse, Allah informs us about His beautiful names: Allâh! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter . And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursî extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the All-Glorious. [This Verse 2:255 is called Ayat-ul-Kursî.] ( Surat al-Baqara, 2:255) And whoever fears Allaah He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allaah then He is sufficient for him. Indeed Allaah will accomplish His purpose. Allaah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Spiritual Path of Islam
* * * * * * *The Spiritual Path of Islam * WHAT is the spiritual path in Islam and what is its place in the life as a whole? To answer this it is necessary to study carefully the difference between the Islamic concept of spirituality and that of other religions and ideologies. Without a clear understanding of this difference it often happens that, when talking about the spirituality in Islam, many of the vague notions associated with the word 'spiritual' unconsciously come to mind; it then becomes difficult for one to comprehend that this spirituality of Islam not only transcends the dualism of spirit and matter but is the nucleus of its integrated and unified concept of life. The idea which has influenced most the climate of philosophical and religious thought is that body and soul are mutually antagonistic, and can develop only at each other's expense. For the soul, the body is a prison and the activities of daily life are the shackles which keep it in bondage and arrest its growth. This has inevitably led to the universe being divided into the spiritual and the secular. Those who chose the secular path were convinced that they could not meet the demands of spirituality, and thus they led highly material and hedonistic lives. All spheres of worldly activity, whether social, political, economic or cultural, were deprived of the light of spirituality; injustice and tyranny were the result. Conversely, those who wanted to tread the path of spiritual excellence came to see themselves as 'noble outcasts' from the world. They believed that it was impossible for spiritual growth to be compatible with a 'normal' life. In their view physical self-denial and mortification of the flesh were necessary for the development and perfection of the spirit. They invented spiritual exercises and ascetic practices which killed physical desires and dulled the body's senses. They regarded forests, mountains and other solitary places as ideal for spiritual development because the hustle and bustle of life would not interfere with their meditations. They could not conceive of spiritual development except through withdrawal from the world. The Islamic viewpoint differs radically from these approaches. According to Islam, Allah has appointed the human soul as His Khalifah (vicegerent) in this world. He has invested it with a certain authority, and given it certain responsibilities and obligations for the fulfillment of which He has endowed it with the best and most suitable physical frame. The body has been created with the sole object of allowing the soul to use it in the exercise of its authority and the fulfillment of its duties and responsibilities. The body is not a prison for the soul, but its workshop or factory; and if the soul is to grow and develop, it is only through this workshop. Consequently, this world is not a place of punishment in which the human soul unfortunately finds itself, but a field in which Allah has sent it to work and do its duty towards Him.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Virtues of Ramadhaan :HADITH NO. 6
Virtues of Ramadhaan by Sheikhul Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya HADITH NO. 6 Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaahu anhu) reports: Rasulullah (Sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said: There are three people whose Du'aa is not rejected; the fasting person until he breaks the fast, the just ruler, and the oppressed person, whose 'Dua' Allah lifts above the clouds and opens unto it the doors of heaven, and Allah says: I swear by My honour, verily I shall assist you, even though it may be after some time. COMMENTARY In 'Durr Manthur' it is reported from Aa'isha (Radhiallahu anha) that, when Ramadhan appeared, the colour of Rasulullah's face used to change. He then used to increase his Salaat, become even more humble in his Duaas and exhibit even more fear of Allah. According to another report, he hardly ever lay down in bed until Ramadhan came to an end. Further, it is stated that the angels carrying the Throne are commanded in Ramadhan to leave aside everything else and recite Aameen to the Duaas of those who fast. Numerous are the Ahaadith stating that the fasting person's 'Du'aas' are answered. When Allah has so promised. and his truthful 'Nabi' (Sallallaaho alaihe wasallam) has informed us, there should be no doubt whatsoever about the truth of these reports. Yet it is strange that, in spite of this, we still find such people who apparently do not get what they pray for. They ask and do not receive; but this does not mean that their prayers have been rejected. One should at this point understand the significance of a 'Dua' being answered. Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) has informed us that, when a Muslim prays for anything from Allah, on the condition that he does not pray for breaking off from his near of kin or for anything sinful, he definitely receives one out of the following three things: he gets the exact thing which he asked. If that is not received, then Allah either removes from his path some great calamity in exchange for what he desired, or the reward for that thing for which he prayed is stored for him in the Hereafter. Another Hadith states that on the day of Qiyaamah, Allah will call his servant, and say to him: O my servant, I used to command you to ask of Me and promised to answer. Did you beg of Me? The servant will answer: Yes I did. Then Allah shall reply: You did not put forth any prayer which has not been accepted. You prayed that a certain calamity should be removed, which I did for you in the wordly life. You prayed that a certain sorrow should be cast off you, but result of that prayer was not known to you. For that, I fixed for you such and such a reward in the Hereafter. Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihi wasallam) says that the man shall again be reminded of each and every prayer and he shall be shown how it had been fulfilled in the world or else what reward had been stored for him in the Hereafter. On seeing that reward, he shall wish that not a single prayer of his had heen answered on Earth, so that he could receive the full reward only in the Hereafter. Yes, prayer is indeed very important, and to neglect it at any time is a matter of great loss. Even when the outward signs seem to indicate that our prayer is not answered, hope should not be lost. Even from the lengthy Hadith at the end of this booklet, it is clear that Allah in answering prayers considers first of all our own good and welfare. Should Allah find that granting us what we beseech from Him is in our welfare and interest, He grants it, otherwise not. Actually it is Allah's favour on us that we do not always get what we ask for because very often, due to our lack of understanding, we beg for things that are not beneficial at a particular time. Here I must draw your attention to the fact that men as well as women suffer from a bad habit of cursing their children in their anger and affliction. Beware of this. As preordained by Allah, there are certain occasions when whatever prayer be made is immediately answered. So sometimes, due to our own stupidity, the child is cursed and when the effect of that same curse comes upon the child and lands him into a calamity, the parents go about crying and wailing. Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) commanded us not to curse ourselves, our children, possessions, or servants. It is just possible that the curse is uttered at a time when all requests are granted, especially in Ramadhan, which is replete with such special Mustajaab (accepted) moments. Hence, in this month, great care should be taken. Ibn Masood(Radhi Allaho anho) reports that on every night of Ramadhan, a crier from the heavens calls out: O you seeker of good, come near; O You seeker of evil, turn away (from evil) and open your eyes. Thereafter that angel calls out: Is there any seeker of forgiveness, that he may be forgiven? Is there any one with a prayer, that his praver may be heard? Is there anyone wanting anything, so that his wish may be

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] 9th Day of TARAVEEH - Glimpses of Quran
*Assalaamu Alaikum Warehmatullahe Wabarakaatuhu* ** *9th Day of TARAVEEH * In the first section mention is made about those village Arab Bedouins who were resorting to kufr and hypocrisy and considered spending in good causes as a penalty unto them and about some of them who believed in ALLAH and in the hereafter and they considered spending the wealth as a source of nearness to ALLAH and a means to get the blessings and Duaa of the Prophet (pbuh). In the second section mention is made about those Muhajireen who have taken a lead in sacrificing everything and migrated to Madinah and also about the Ansars (helpers) who came forward with help and took a lead in everything for Islam. The mention about the hypocrites of Madinah al-Munawwarah, the rules of Zakaat and its benefits. Mention is made in the verse about the mosque built by the hypocrites and the Prophet (pbuh) was asked not to pray in that mosque, merit of the Masjid al-Quba and the command to pray there, the belief and steadfastness is explained. In the third section is said the life and wealth everything belongs to ALLAH, but ALLAH has purchased the lives and wealth of the believers in return for the Paradise and the believers are men of virtuous characters. It is forbidden to pray for the forgiveness of the Mushrikeen even though they are relatives. ALLAH never makes anyone go wrong. ALLAH has showered HIS Blessings upon the Prophet (pbuh) and those emigrants and the Ansars who have helped in times of difficulties and has also accepted the repentance of those who could not participate in the battle of Tabuk. In the fourth section the believers are called upon to refrain from disobedience to ALLAH and remain in the company of the righteous and to support the Prophet of ALLAH (pbuh). For them is a reward for every discomfort and difficulty and for every right step they take. It is enjoined that one group of people from every community and tribe set out in the way of ALLAH for jihad and acquiring knowledge (not all of them) and when they return they should undertake reformation and providing guidance to the community. In the fifth section it is emphasized that the kufr must be disliked and renounced openly. When the believers listen to the Quraan their belief is increased and strengthened and when the disbelievers listen to it the evil of kufr enhances, they face the problems but they don't repent. O Prophet! If the whole world turns away from you, you have nothing to loose and ALLAH is sufficient for you. Surah Younus begins In the first section it is said that it is not a wonder that ALLAH has sent a man as Messenger to reform and guide HIS servants. Here ALLAH mentions about the various things spread over the universe and the benefits therein for the mankind. In the second section it is pointed out that man is always at haste and his nature also is a strange one. ALLAH says that when he is inflicted with some difficulty, he calls US, and when WE have delivered him from the difficulty, he behaves in such a way that nothing has come to him and he had never called US. The destruction of the earlier communities for their arrogance and new generations taking their place is a phenomenon intended to find out how you behave! The meaningless demands of the disbelievers that this Quraan is changed and another Quraan brought in its place reflects their attitude and the Prophet was told: Oh Prophet! tell them that I have no right to change it on my own and I only follow what was revealed to me. The Prophet's job is to convey the word of ALLAH to HIS servants as it was revealed. In the third section it is said that even the idolaters call ALLAH when the wrath of ALLAH befalls them and when it is removed they again start rejecting HIM. Don't take pride in worldly wealth, ALLAH calls you to the abode of peace, the Paradise! Follow the righteous path and you will be successful and the disobedient will only fail. In the fourth section ALLAH instructs the Prophet to ask them as to who sustains them from the heaven and the earth? Who is responsible for the creations? Who holds the key to guidance towards the true path? But they follow only their assumptions. There is only one book which refutes all these assumptions and tells you the truth, and that is the Holy Quraan. If you have doubt in this Quraan, then bring one surah like this from your side. In the fifth section it is said that the Prophet has fulfilled his mission and even after that, if any one does not believe in the Quraan, then he his himself responsible for himself. listening to the word of ALLAH and the sayings of the Prophet will be beneficial only when one listens to these with sincerity and commitment. A glimpse of the terrific condition of the day of resurrection is given and and it is made known that for every thing there is an appointed time and that good and bad, profit and loss, is as per the will of ALLAH. In the sixth section it is mentioned that on the day of judgment the
