Bismillah [IslamCity] IF YOU WANT TO SEE ALLAH
then you must avoid missing fajr and Asr prayer. According to one
hadith, Perfection means To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you
cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is
looking at you. According to other sayings of our beloved prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) in which he said that we will be able to see our real
Lord `Allah subhanahu wa tala' if we avoid missing Fajr and Asr
prayer.
Please note this combination of sayings together is the keystone to see
Allah. It means that if we want to see Allah on the Day of Judgment then
we must pray Fajr and Asr prayer with full attention and devotion. The
attention and devotion in which we try to see Allah in the prayer will
actually lead us to see Allah subhanahu wa tala on the Day of Judgment.
Nobody including Prophet Muhammad and Moses (peace be upon them) has
seen Allah. So, it is impossible to see Allah in this world. However,
definitely we would see Allah on the Day of Judgment. Our prayer in the
paradise is nothing but glorification and praising to Allah and it will
be perfect in the paradise since we will be able to see Allah. Please
note people of paradise will glorify Allah morning and evening and
probably may be in the same way or timing of fajr and asr prayer (Allah
knows better). On that day Allah will not be hidden from us and we will
be able to see Allah at the time of every prayer/glorification and that
is the state of perfection of our prayer as demanded in the above
hadith(Allah knows better).
Allah subhanahu wa tala says in the glorious Quran that whosoever turns
away from His remembrance then Allah will make his life difficult for
him. Not only that, Allah will raise him up blind on the Day of
Judgment. It means all the disbelievers and those who do not pray or
forget Him will become blind on the Day of Judgment. And hence they will
not be able to see Allah on the Day of Judgment.
Moreover, if anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of Allah then
Allah will appoint for him a devil to be a close friend of him. And this
devil averts him from right path and he thinks that he is rightly
guided.
Islam is the only religion which would lead to paradise and keep us away
from hell, and the pillar on which it rests is Prayer. So, prayer is the
basic fundamental of Islam. Besides, prayer is the best form to keep
remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa tala and surrendering in the form of
prostrations and bowing down to HIM. It also includes praising and
glorifying to Allah, supplications (du'a), declaration of faith,
lessons of morals and rules and regulations for daily life through
listening Quran.
Certainly, the best thing in our life is the remembrance of Allah and a
single prostration (i.e. sajda) to Allah (in prayer) will be better than
the whole world and whatever is in it. Whenever an evil thought comes in
our mind or heart then we have to stop it by the remembrance of Allah
and the meeting with Him and the return journey to Him.
Furthermore, those who prostrate and bow down in this life they will
also be able to bow down before Allah on the Day of Judgment.
Also note that whoever is praying without attention and devotion for
them is sadness. (Refer to surah ma'un). Full attention and devotion
(khushu) is compulsory during prayer for the acknowledgement of the
prayer. Pray with calmness, solemnity and slowness. And pray in the same
way and manner of our beloved prophet Muhammad (sallal'lahu alaihi
wasallam) had prayed, otherwise your prayer will not be fully
acknowledged and in the worst scenario you may need to repeat the
prayer. Seek God's help through patience and prayer, and indeed it
is not hard for the humbly submissive (khashieen) people, those who bear
in mind the certainty that they are to meet their Lord, and that they
are to return to Him. Remember your prayer must stop you from shameful
and evil deeds and if you are not avoiding bad deeds then this prayer
will only bring more loss and keep you away from Allah.
There are four major advantages of prayers:
* Hearts will get satisfaction
* Risq(provisions) will increase
* Able to see Allah subhanahu wa tala on the day of judgment
* Allah banned the fire to consume the traces of prostration on the
body (i.e. the mark of the traces of prostration on foreheads)
\
-
Please refer to the following translated verses of holy Quran and sahih
ahadiths
\
-
* Avoid Fajr and Asr prayer!
* According to Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith No.1.529 Narrated by Qais:
Jarir said, We were with the Prophet and he looked at the
moon--full-moon--and said, 'Certainly you will see your Lord as you see
this moon and you will have no trouble in seeing Him. So if you can
avoid missing (through sleep or business, etc.) a prayer before the
sunrise (Fajr) and a prayer before sunset ('Asr), you

Virtues of Madinah Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 91 Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, Medina is a sanctuary from that place to that. Its trees should not be cut and no heresy should be innovated nor any sin should be committed in it, and whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people. (See Hadith No. 409, Vol 9). Virtues of Madinah Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 92 Narrated Anas: The Prophet came to Medina and ordered a mosque to be built and said, O Bani Najjar! Suggest to me the price (of your land). They said, We do not want its price except from Allah (i.e. they wished for a reward from Allah for giving up their land freely). So, the Prophet ordered the graves of the pagans to be dug out and the land to be leveled, and the date-palm trees to be cut down. The cut date-palms were fixed in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque. Virtues of Madinah Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 94 Narrated 'Ali: We have nothing except the Book of Allah and this written paper from the Prophet (where-in is written:) Medina is a sanctuary from the 'Air Mountain to such and such a place, and whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits a sin, or gives shelter to such an innovator in it will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted. And the asylum (of protection) granted by any Muslim is to be secured (respected) by all the other Muslims; and whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect incurs the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted, and whoever (freed slave) befriends (take as masters) other than his manumitters without their permission incurs the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted Virtues of Madinah Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 96 Virtues of Madinah Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 97 Narrated Abu Huraira: If I saw deers grazing in Medina, I would not chase them, for Allah's Apostle said, (Medina) is a sanctuary between its two mountains. Virtues of Madinah Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 99 Narrated Abu Zuhair: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, Yemen will be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families, and those who will obey them to migrate (to Yemen) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew. Sham will also be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families and those who will obey them, to migrate (to Sham) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew. 'Iraq will be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families and those who will obey them to migrate (to 'Iraq) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew. Virtues of Madinah Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 101 Narrated Sad: I heard the Prophet saying, None plots against the people of Medina but that he will be dissolved (destroyed) like the salt is dissolved in water. Virtues of Madinah Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 30 :: Hadith 102 Narrated Usama: Once the Prophet stood at the top of a (looked out from upon one) castle amongst the castles (or the high buildings) of Medina and said, Do you see what I see?

Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud) Dawud :: Book 38 : Hadith 4478 Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: When one of you inflicts a beating, he should avoid striking the face. Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud) Dawud :: Book 38 : Hadith 4475 Narrated Hakim ibn Hizam: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) forbade to take retaliation in the mosque, to recite verses in it and to inflict the prescribed punishments in it. Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud) Dawud :: Book 38 : Hadith 4474 Narrated AbdurRahman ibn Azhar: I saw the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) on the morning of the conquest of Mecca when I was a young boy. He was walking among the people, seeking the camp of Khalid ibn al-Walid. A man who had drunk wine was brought (before him) and he ordered them (to beat him). So they beat him with what they had in their hands. Some struck him with whips, some with sticks and some with sandals. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) threw some dust on his face. When a man who had drunk wine was brought before AbuBakr, he asked them (i.e. the people) about the number of beatings which they gave him. They numbered it forty. So AbuBakr gave him forty lashes. When Umar came to power, Khalid ibn al-Walid wrote to him: The people have become addicted to drinking wine and they look down upon the prescribed punishment and its penalty. He said: They are with you, ask them. The immigrants who embraced Islam in the beginning were with him. He asked them and they agreed on the fact that (a drunkard) should be given eighty lashes. Ali said: When a man drinks wine, he tells lies. I, therefore, think that he should be prescribed punishment that is prescribed for telling lies.. Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud) Dawud :: Book 38 : Hadith 4473 Narrated AbdurRahman ibn al-Azhar: A man who had drunk wine was brought before the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) when he was in Hunayn. He threw some dust on his face. He then ordered his Companions and they beat him with their sandals and whatever they had in their hands. He then said to them: Leave him, and they left him. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) then died, and AbuBakr gave forty lashes for drinking wine, and then Umar in the beginning of his Caliphate inflicted forty stripes and at the end of his Caliphate he inflicted eighty stripes. Uthman (after him) inflicted both punishments, eighty and forty stripes, and finally Mu'awiyah established eighty stripes. Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud) Dawud :: Book 38 : Hadith 4472 Narrated AbdurRahman ibn Azhar: I can still picture myself looking at the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) who was among the camps of the Companions seeking the camp of Khalid ibn al-Walid, when a man who had drunk wine was brought before him. He asked the people: Beat him. Some struck him with sandals, some with sticks and some with fresh branches of the palm-tree (mitakhah). Ibn Wahb said: This (mitakhah) means green palm fronds. Then the apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) took some dust from the ground and threw it on his face. - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.

Asalam alikum Today brother and sister what we do .lots of thing which are non Islamic are going on .it is peak time of fitna .do we try to stop the Muslims brother and sister from doing this What RAsool(SAW) said about this Battles (Kitab Al-Malahim) Dawud :: Book 37 : Hadith 4324 Narrated AbuBakr: You people recite this verse You who believe, care for yourselves; he who goes astray cannot harm you when you are rightly-guided, and put it in its improper place. Khalid's version has: We heard the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) say: When the people see a wrongdoer and do not prevent him, Allah will soon punish them all. Amr ibn Hushaym's version has: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: If acts of disobedience are done among any people and do not change them though the are able to do so, Allah will soon punish them all. Think about it .are u able to stop them? if u r then u should stop them. Battles (Kitab Al-Malahim) Dawud :: Book 37 : Hadith 4325 Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If any man is among a people in whose midst he does acts of disobedience, and, though they are able to make him change (his acts), they do not change, Allah will smite them with punishment before they die. Battles (Kitab Al-Malahim) Dawud :: Book 37 : Hadith 4327 Narrated AbuTha'labah al-Khushani: AbuUmayyah ash-Sha'bani said: I asked AbuTha'labah al-Khushani: What is your opinion about the verse Care for yourselves. He said: I swear by Allah, I asked the one who was well informed about it; I asked the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) about it. He said: No, enjoin one another to do what is good and forbid one another to do what is evil. Battles (Kitab Al-Malahim) Dawud :: Book 37 : Hadith 4329 Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: When we were around the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him), he mentioned the period of commotion (fitnah) saying: When you see the people that their covenants have been impaired, (the fulfilling of) the guarantees becomes rare, and they become thus (interwining his fingers). I then got up and said: What should I do at that time, may Allah make me ransom for you? He replied: Keep to your house, control your tongue, accept what you approve, abandon what you disapprove, attend to your own affairs, and leave alone the affairs of the generality. But when you see niggardliness being obeyed, passion being followed, worldly interests being preferred, everyone being charmed with his opinion, then care for yourself, and leave alone what people in general are doing; for ahead of you are days which will require endurance, in which showing endurance will be like grasping live coals. The one who acts rightly during that period will have the reward of fifty men who act as he does. Another version has: He said (The hearers asked:) Apostle of Allah, the reward of fifty of them? He replied: The reward of fifty of you. Battles (Kitab Al-Malahim) Dawud :: Book 37 : Hadith 4330 Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The best fighting (jihad) in the path of Allah is (to speak) a word of justice to an oppressive ruler. Battles (Kitab Al-Malahim) Dawud :: Book 37 : Hadith 4331 Narrated Amirah al-Kindi: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: When sin is done in the earth, he who sees it and disapproves of it will be taken like one who was not present, but he who is not present and approves of it will be like him who sees.

Islam and the West http://www.islamfortoday.com/karenarmstrong02.htm click here to read the whole artilce A former Catholic nun and author of books on many of the world's religions including Islam, English writer Karen Armstrong speaks about Western views of Islam, the mood after 11 September and her hopes for better relations between Islam and the West. Karen Armstrong The West has got to learn that it shares the planet with equals not with inferiors. This means giving equal space in a conflict such as that between Israel Palestine. It doesn't mean just using governments to get oil: you promote Saddam Hussein one day, the next day he becomes public enemy number one. The West promoted people like the Shah of Iran simply because of its greed for oil, even though he had committed atrocities against his own people. There should be no more double standards, because double standards are colonialism in a new form. Western people have also got to disassociate themselves from inherited prejudices about Islam. - Karen Armstrong Karen_Armstrong_small.jpg

Bismillah [IslamCity] Letter from Tihar - Parveez Ahmad
As I have done my M. Sc (Zoology) from the University of Pune and now am seeking admission to Ph.D for which I was going to Pune. On September 12, 2006, I left home for Pune by flight (Spice Jet). Srinagar - Delhi Delhi-Pune. On reaching Delhi, when I was approaching for Spice-Jet counter to collect my boarding pass, some seven to eight persons held me firmly and took away my luggage and whatever I had in my pockets. They took me to Lodhi Colony special cell office. where they torture and interrogated me severely. They beat me up ruthlessly and gave me electric shocks. Later, I came to know that they were from the special cell of police. Led by inspector Sharma ji Letter from Tihar http://www.combatlaw.org/information.php?article_id=1127issue_id=39 A Kashmiri youth, Parveez Ahmad, narrates how police turned him from a gentleman to 'bomb-man' in a letter from his confinement in Tihar Central Jail, Delhi. Combat Law is in possession of his letter. It is being reproduced here Subj: Save my career, as I am innocent. ith due reverence and respect, I am writing this letter with the hope that I will get justice without delay. I want your kind attention towards the real fact of my arrest, interrogation and torture, which is totally different and contradictory to that of police's statement. All the allegations and sections they have charged upon me are baseless. All the confessions I have made before them were all under compulsions and force. As I could not tolerate the torture and electric shocks. I am still frightened of that treatment. Those electric shocks are still breaking my sleep. Being citizen of India I keep faith in Indian law and judiciary. And hope no discrimination will be done against me. Though my faith in law and being a citizen of India has scattered badly by the role of police. But still I have not left the rope of hope. To restore the faith, it is essential to give me justice, through fare trial, and save my career. To prove my innocence your goodself is requested to see my past record. Which will reveal you how clear my past and present is. Though I am concerned about the condition of JK. Now I want your kind attention towards the following lines which will reveal your goodself the whole story. As I have done my M. Sc (Zoology) from the University of Pune and now am seeking admission to Ph.D for which I was going to Pune. On September 12, 2006, I left home for Pune by flight (Spice Jet). Srinagar - Delhi Delhi-Pune. On reaching Delhi, when I was approaching for Spice-Jet counter to collect my boarding pass, some seven to eight persons held me firmly and took away my luggage and whatever I had in my pockets. They took me to Lodhi Colony special cell office. where they torture and interrogated me severely. They beat me up ruthlessly and gave me electric shocks. Later, I came to know that they were from the special cell of police. Led by inspector Sharma ji. On the same day they forced me to call one of my friends to give his SIM card to their contact person already in Pune. ON September 13, 2006, they made my I Card with the name of Iqbal and took me to Pune by Spice-Jet flight. On reaching Pune, one police team was already there but in civil dress. I can reveal all the details, their names, where they kept me in Pune, and how they mentally tortured me. On September 14, 2006 evening after receiving few calls they took me to one shop in Pune and collected some 10 lakh rupees from that shopkeeper. On September 15, 2006 they took me back to Delhi, and kept me again in Lodhi Colony Special Cell lock up where they tortured me very badly and severely. I was unconscious and half dead. On September 16, 2006 they took me to some unknown place and kept me there for almost one month. I was not able to walk and move as they kept me handcuffed in one room. The details of that very place and persons will be revealed in the court. What they did with me there, will also be revealed. During that duration they neither informed my parents nor took me into police remand or judicial custody. Instead, they forced me to lie to my parents that I got a job in Maharashtra. After one month on October 15, 2006 they took me to hospital for medical, which was just a formality, as I was already instructed not to say anything about my ailment, torture and muscular spasm. Even doctors wrote the medical report without examining me. I was shocked to see the collusion between police and doctors. I could not understand what was going on. As I was seeing that for the first time in my life. On the same day October 15, 2006 in the evening they took me to a lady magistrate for taking me into police remand. That too was a joke, as I was in their custody for more than one month. Before presenting me before that magistrate they threatened me of dire consequences If I narrated the true story. I was made to narrate

Bismillah [IslamCity] Austria's Haider says to ban mosque-building
Austria's Haider says to ban mosque-building (Reuters, August 27, 2007) Vienna, Austria - Austrian right-wing firebrand Joerg Haider said on Monday he plans to change building laws to prevent mosques and minarets being erected in his home province of Carinthia. Haider, Carinthia's governor, said he would ask its parliament to amend the building code to would require towns and villages to consider religious and cultural tradition when dealing with construction requests. We don't want a clash of cultures and we don't want institutions which are alien to our culture being erected in Western Europe, Haider said in a statement. Muslims have of course the right to practice their religion, but I oppose erecting mosques and minarets as centers to advertise the power of Islam, he said. His spokesman, Stefan Petzner, said that there were no plans to restrict Muslim prayer rooms, as this would violate Muslims' human rights, and the planned change applied only to dedicated mosques and minarets. Muslims in Europe are meeting increasing resistance to plans for mosques that befit Islam's status as the continent's second religion after Christianity, with petitions in London, protests in Cologne, a court case in Marseille and violence in Berlin. However, while all those places have significant Muslim minorities, Haider's Carinthia has the second lowest share of Muslim citizens of all Austrian provinces -- 11,000 out of a population of around 400,000, a Muslim spokesman said. It's a ridiculous statement to say he fears a clash of civilizations (in Carinthia), said Omar al-Rawi, a centre-left lawmaker who is spokesman for the Austrian Muslims' Initiative. We don't know of any mosque plans there. His move is meaningless, populist, racist and anti-Islamic, he added. Haider became known beyond Austria's borders in the 1990s with remarks seen as xenophobic and as playing down Nazi war crimes as the rightist Freedom Party he then led rose to become the second biggest in Austria. His new group, which broke away from Freedom after he lost an internal power struggle, has few followers outside his home province and almost failed to enter parliament last year. Despite his rhetoric against Islam at home, Haider also praises himself for his close ties to Muslim leaders including Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, whom he calls a personal friend.
