Bismillah [IslamCity] You have recived Hadith
Hadith Jabir (Radhiallaho anha) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, He who says upon hearing the Adhan: `Allahumma Rabba hadhihid-da`wati-ttammati, was-salatil-qa'imati, ati Muhammadanil-wasilata wal-fadhilata, wab`athu maqaman mahmuda nilladhi wa `adtahu [O Allah, Rubb of this perfect call (Da`wah) and of the established prayer (As-Salat), grant Muhammad the Wasilah and superiority, and raise him up to a praiseworthy position which You have promised him]', it becomes incumbent upon me to intercede for him on the Day of Resurrection.'' [Al-Bukhari]. Commentary: This Hadith tells us the merit of (the prayer by means of which one attains his should be recited in the manner narrated by `Abdullah bin `Amr, which says that one should first repeat the wording of Adhan, then recite the prayer asking to exalt the mention of the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and then pray Allah to grant him the Wasilah.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Death: An Ultimate Reality
*Death: An Ultimate Reality* *By Prof. Shahul Hameed* http://www.readingislam.com/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_Ccid=1209357335789pagename=Zone-English-Discover_Islam%2FDIELayout [image: Islam sees death as a reality of life, a certainty from which no one is exempt.] *Islam sees death as a reality of life, a certainty from which no one is exempt. * Throughout the ages, mankind viewed death as something gruesome and frightening, something that should be postponed indefinitely or abolished if possible, once for all. This was because of two reasons. First, death cuts short the life of this world. Second, there was no proof about the chance for a new lease of life in a world to come. Death is, as Shakespeare's Hamlet said, the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns to tell us their story. All the same, there was also the belief among religions that death served as a kind of passage to another more important arena of life. From the Islamic point of view, death is a reality of life, a certainty from which no one is exempt. God says in the Quran what means: [Every soul shall have a taste of death: and only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved from the fire and admitted to the garden will have attained the object (of life): for the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.] (Aal `Imran 3:185) *Death is a necessary transition form this world to another lasting world. * As it is mentioned in the verse, there is going to be a Day of Judgment one has to face after death, when each will be paid in full the fruit of what he or she has earned in this life. Those who sowed evil will reap evil and those who sowed good will reap good. All the allure and glamour of this world would then prove to be of no real worth; what is of enduring value would be provided in that world to come. From this point of view, death is a necessary transition form this world to another lasting world. That means, death for humans is not a complete cessation of life; but it is a passing from one state of existence to another. In the life of this world, the body and the soul are not separate except during sleep, when temporarily the soul leaves the body until it returns to it, with God's permission: [It is God that takes the souls at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.] ( Az-Zumar39:42) *Sleep: Temporal Death* The idea that sleep is a form of temporary death, whereby the soul leaves the body for a time was recognized by people of earlier religions too. Hinduism has the idea that the soul is imprisoned in the body until death liberates it. There is also the suggestion that the soul yearns to be free from the prison-house of the body. *The human soul came from God, and belongs to the world of the spirit; while the body is made up of clay or slime, and so it belongs to the world of matter. *On the other hand, we understand from the Quran that the human being is complete only when he is both body and soul. That is why the purity of both the body and the soul is required in Muslim prayers for instance. Similarly, the rewards or punishments for one's life on earth are to be experienced by the whole human being consisting of the body and soul in the hereafter. For the same reason, there is no question of a Muslim neglecting the needs of the body or even tormenting the body for the sake of the soul. The human soul came from God, and belongs to the world of the spirit; while the body is made up of clay or slime, and so it belongs to the world of matter. But once united with the body the soul transmutes the body, and a noble creation — a new being — is born deserving of honor even from the angels: [And lo! Thy Sustainer said unto the angels: Behold, I am about to create mortal man out of sounding clay, out of dark slime transmuted; and when I have formed him fully and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down before him in prostration!] (Al-Hijr 15:28-29) While living on earth, the body and soul are kept together as one being by the force of life. When a person dies, the phenomenon of death displaces that person's life. Apparently, life disappears or ceases to exist and the body and soul are separated. When life ends, the body decays; but the soul is not affected by the end of life, except that it is separated from the body. The soul lives on in the world of spirit, though it is in a state of sleep. Just as it happens during our earthly sleep when the soul leaves the body temporarily; it is then in a state of sleep. And the body during sleep is still living as life has not left it. But if the soul does not return after its appointed time, life leaves the body and death takes its place; and death is a phenomenon like life, only
Bismillah [IslamCity] Mock attack on the fake mosque in Illinois sends a wrong message
Abdus-Sattar Ghazali [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Thu, 8 May 2008 21:13:05 -0700 From: Abdus-Sattar Ghazali [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: asghazali [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mock attack on the fake mosque in Illinois sends a wrong message Mock attack on the fake mosque in Illinois sends a wrong message By Abdus Sattar Ghazali Six years and eight months after the 9/11 tragic attacks, Muslims in America remain at the receiving end with the reconfiguration of American laws, policies and priorities to target them. The latest assault on the Muslim community comes in the form of a simulated attack on a fake mosque by the law enforcement authorities in Illinois. On May 1, over 120 officials from almost 30 government agencies participated in the drill in Irving, Illinois, targeting a community facility that had been re-named the Irving Mosque for the purposes of the exercise. There were participants from local law enforcement, fire departments and ambulances. In the exercise, officers from the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS) stormed the mosque using an armored car. One hostage was hooked up to an explosive device and the suspects in the mosque released nerve gas. For the purpose of the emergency exercise drill, the Continuing Recovery Center in Irving, Ill., had become Irving Mosque, the home-base for a radical, heavily armed group with suspected terrorist ties. There were explosions outside and inside the building. Not surprisingly, a preview of the May 1st training was highlighted by the media with such sensational headlines: Pennsylvania's police prepare for radical Islam, and Radical Islam: A Law Enforcement Primer. What message that exercise conveys to the American masses who are already conditioned by the anti-Islam and anti-Muslim rhetoric by some radio hosts, electronic and print media as well as some political and Christian Right leaders in the post-9/11 America? Surely, it reinforces the anti-Islam and anti-Muslim image among the masses. According to a March 2008 Gallup survey, a substantial number of Americans have a negative perception of Muslims. The poll shows that only 17 percent have positive perception while 23 have negative. 48 percents were found neutral which are surely not positive. Two polls by CAIR and Washington Post in March 2006 indicated that almost half of Americans have a negative perception of Islam and that one in four of those surveyed have extreme anti-Muslim views. The troubling results of these polls are not surprising in this atmosphere of fear and hatred against the Muslim community created in the name of national security. There cannot be two opinions that the Irving Mosque exercise creates a negative image of Mosques and Islamic centers. It is disrespect to the Muslim places of worship and sends a wrong message that all Islamic houses of worship may be potential security threats. To borrow, Khalid Saeed, President of the American Muslim Voice, (AMV), this outrage should be offensive to the sensibilities of all civilized Americans and it should be condemned in strongest possible way as it sends wrong message about a large peaceful segment of American society and great religion of Islam. There are about eight million American Muslims who are proud and patriotic citizens of this great nation of our, and are making a positive contributions to this great and diverse nation. The use of a fake 'mosque' in this type of drill sends the wrong message to law enforcement officials who may now view mainstream institutions, such as Islamic houses of worship, as potential security threats, according to Ahmed Rehab, executive director of Council on American-Islamic Relations-Chicago. Officials must be trained in dealing with hostage-taking and responding to chemical, biological or bomb attacks. We are only questioning the wisdom of linking the American Muslim community and its institutions to such incidents. Taking a leaf from New York Police Department's controversial study Radicalization in the West and the Homegrown Threat, Municipal Police Officers Education Training Commission (MPOETC) has prepared a Mandatory In-Service Training (MIST) Program and Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS) officials are required to undergo a three-hour class called Radical Islam: A Law Enforcement Primer. The fake mosque attack was part of that training course aims at providing an overview of the factors and issues related to a radical view of Islam. The MPOETC has its own sweeping definition of radical Islam': Radical Islam assumes the authority to ''nullify, abolish, or do away with'' previously established religions and systems of government, establishing Islamic rule based on the Koran and the ''example of Muhammad.'' Muslim civil rights groups have expressed concern over this program. In a letter to the MPOETC Training director
Bismillah [IslamCity] Proceed with civil nuclear deal, says Kalam
*Proceed with civil nuclear deal, says Kalam* Friday, May 9, 2008 http://news.in.msn.com/national/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1376795 *APJ Abdul Kalam, One of the principal figures behind the Indian nuclear tests that shook the world in 1998* [image: Proceed with civil nuclear deal, says Kalam] New Delhi: Former president APJ Abdul Kalam, one of the principal figures behind the May 1998 nuclear tests that shook the world, has said that India should go ahead with the civil nuclear deal with the United States as it does not compromise the country's sovereignty. In a rare interview, Kalam told IANS that if at any time there was a fear that national security would be compromised by going ahead with the deal, we can at any time withdraw (from it). This was the first time that Kalam, who was among a handful of scientists who were at the nuclear explosion site at Pokhran on May 11 and 13 a decade ago in what was a highly secretive operation, has spoken out in favour of the deal that has been the subject of so much debate and political controversy in India. Yes. I think. India had made the right decision in the nuclear area in continuation of economic reforms in 1991 Kalam, who was then chief of the Defence Research and Development Organisation, was feted as a national hero, applauded and besieged for autographs though the tests drew widespread censure in the rest of the world then. Ten years later, Kalam - who was later appointed head of state by the government of prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee - believes the five nuclear tests detonated in the Rajasthan desert was the right decision and said the tests were among the most memorable moments of his career. *Excerpts from the interview:* Q: *You once said that Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength. Do you still believe in this maxim?* A: Yes. The philosophy of strength respects strength is valid any time, as long as earth orbits around the sun.If you look back, you can see though we faced technological and economic sanction after 1998, the confidence in the country increased that we can do it. Q: *Ten years after, do you think the nuclear tests were a good idea? It did polarise the world and there were economic sanctions against India.* A: Yes. I think. India had made the right decision in the nuclear area in continuation of economic reforms in 1991. If you look back, you can see though we faced technological and economic sanction after 1998, the confidence in the country increased that we can do it. Our scientists in multiple scientific departments have worked for self-reliance and have succeeded in making the cryogenic engine, flight control system for LCA and carbide fuel processing in the nuclear area. Similarly, the industry and service sectors have shown marked growth and our economy is in the ascent path right from 2003. All world leaders converged on India. It has been consistently growing at 8 to 9 per cent every annum, which has never been experienced before. All this clearly shows that our decision was a landmark decision for the country. Q: *In today's world would it be a good idea to conduct nuclear tests? Or has the dynamics of geopolitics changed?* A: We do not have to keep on reproving ourselves in view of new technology demands. Q: *Should the government go ahead with the civilian nuclear deal with the US? Do you share the view that it compromises India's sovereignty? *A: We should go ahead with the civilian nuclear deal. It does not compromise India's sovereignty. We can at any time withdraw, if any national security need arises in future. Q: *You are widely regarded as the central figure in India's drive to join the small club of nuclear-armed nations. Where do you see India in another 10 years?* A: We will see India as a developed nation. The people below poverty line will become near zero. The literacy level could go beyond 90 per cent. There will be employment opportunity for all both in the urban and rural areas. We will have a number of operational PURAs (Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas) in various parts of the country. A number of students from abroad will come for studies and work in India. Our youth will have world-class skills and higher education. Q: *You have never hidden your passion for a powerful India. Can you count the 1998 tests as one of the most memorable moments in your career? *A: First memorable moment was the SLV3 launch in 1980 putting the Rohini Satellite in orbit using an indigenous rocket system. Second memorable moment was the Agni missile launch in 1989 reaching the target. Third memorable moment was acceptance of India Vision 2020 by the government. Fourth memorable moment was India in 1998 becoming a Nuclear Weapon State.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Redefining Evangelicalism, Polygamy the Latter Day Saints
*Redefining Evangelicalism* http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_Ccid=1209357380873pagename=Zone-English-News/NWELayout [image: Image] *Wedded with Republicans to a set of beliefs, evangelicals have played a pivotal role in tilting the scales in US President George W. Bush's favor in his 2004 reelection bid. (Photo through Google)* CAIRO — Several American conservative Christian leaders are revolting against the exploitation of Evangelicalism for political gains. Today… enormous confusion surrounds Evangelicals in public life, reads the Evangelical Manifesto issued on Wednesday, May 8. It seeks clarify the confusions and corruptions surrounding the term 'evangelical' that have grown so deep that the character of what it means has been obscured and its importance lost. Signed by more than 80 evangelical leaders, theologians and pastors, the 19-page document warns that the term evangelical has lost its religious meaning. We reaffirm our identity. Evangelicals are Christians who define themselves, their faith, and their lives according to the Good News of Jesus of Nazareth, it reads. We Evangelicals are defined theologically, and not politically, socially, or culturally. The document was signed by mostly centrist evangelicals, like popular author Os Guinness, Leith Anderson, president of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals and evangelical academic. Evangelism is the fastest-growing faith-based group in the US. One in four American adults count themselves as evangelical or born-again Christians, including President George Bush. *Useful Idiots* The manifesto laments that faith and politics have been too closely mixed in the US. It condemns Christians on the right and left for using faith to express essentially political points that have lost touch with biblical truth. It warns that this way faith loses its *independence.* Christians become the 'useful idiots' for one political party or another, and the Christian faith becomes an ideology, it contends. Christian beliefs become the weapons of political factions. Evangelical Christians have a growing impact on America's political landscape. They have played a pivotal role in tilting the scales in Bush's favor in his 2004 reelection bid. Some 37 percent of all Republican and Republican-leaning voters are evangelical Protestants. The declaration, however, encourages evangelicals to be politically engaged and uphold teachings when it comes to social issues such as marriage and environment. We Evangelicals see it our duty to engage with politics, but our equal duty never to be completely equated with any party, partisan ideology, or nationality. The politicization of faith is never a sign of strength but of weakness. *Related Links* Evangelicals Bring Religion in US Politics http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_Ccid=1160658445961pagename=Zone-English-News%2FNWELayout Israel Support Biblical Duty: Evangelicalshttp://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_Ccid=1164543372201pagename=Zone-English-News%2FNWELayout US Evangelical Navy Academyhttp://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_Ccid=1203757823646pagename=Zone-English-News/NWELayout Evangelists Teach US Cadets Islamhttp://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_Ccid=1201957685016pagename=Zone-English-News/NWELayout US Evangelicals Turn New Pagehttp://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_Ccid=1179664491770pagename=Zone-English-News%2FNWELayout + *Religion and America* *Polygamy and the Latter Day Saints* By Karema Akifah Saleh - Writer, Editor in Chief - US ** ** *1) **Double Standards and Racism*http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_Ccid=1203758522881pagename=Zone-English-Family%2FFYELayout * 2) **A House Divided Will Fall*http://www.islamonline.net/English/Multimedia/Library/Family/2008/04/sound/01.ram * ** 3) **Dying Unknown*http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_Ccid=1209357103378pagename=Zone-English-Family%2FFYELayout * * [image: Image] The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints is one of the largest Mormon groups and a practitioner of polygamy in the US.
