Bismillah [IslamCity] Gazza and its neighbors
why do Gazzeans run away ?? is somebody doing an ethnic-cleansing , perhaps ?? How come the people of Gazza always like to bomb the Israeli towns on its borders ?? There are 2 possibilities : A) Either it is so that Gazza-people are criminals . B) Or, simply because the People of Gazza are engaged in a war of national-liberation whereas the Israelis are their invaders-occupiers ?? How come the Israels keep on bombing Gazza if not strangling it , or starving it ?? There are here also 2 possibilities : A) Either the Israelis are criminals. B) or simply the Israelis are colonialist engaged in an ethnic-cleansing whereas they are stealing more land. Any other suggestions ? other accusations ? other analyses may-be ?, and or other descriptions ??? ... are welcome !! Until then , I say that Gazza has all the rights to fight as well as, any other Palestinian provinces. or any other occupied people in the world. Raja Chemayel 04 Feb.09 PS : Two years ago, I sarcastically wrote that Israel was withdrawing from Gazza , only for to be able to nuke it. I was (partly) wrong , because Israel did not nuke Gazza , after all , it has only dropped Phosphoric (+ Cluster) bombs !!! Phosphore burns just like a Nuclear-bomb !
Bismillah [IslamCity] Sudan: Israel arming Darfur rebels/Pirates receive $3.2M for Israeli ship
Sudan: Israel arming Darfur rebels Mon, 02 Feb 2009 09:49:09 GMT http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=84418sectionid=351020504 An Israeli soldier covers his ears as a mobile artillery unit fires a shell towards Gaza in mid-January. Israel receives at least $2 billion a year in US weapons. Israel has supplied a rebel group involved in the Darfur conflict in Sudan with a considerable amount of weaponry, a new report says. The Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) has received considerably heavy military logistical support from Israel, Sudan's state media reported on Sunday. The shipment has been sent through France, which is in charge of training military personal inside neighboring Chad, the Sudanese Media Center, a news outlet with links to Sudan's security service said. France maintains a 1,650 soldier mission to Chad as part of the EUFOR mission to protect refugees who have fled the conflict in Darfur in neighboring Sudan. The JEM which seized the city of Muhageriya about two weeks ago is considered Darfur's most powerful rebel group. The group managed to capture the city form forces loyal to the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) faction of Minni Minawi, which is the only rebel group to have signed a peace deal with Khartoum. Sudan accuses Chad of providing military and logistical support for the rebel group's attacks on Southern Darfur. Chad, however, blames Sudan for the creation of the Union of Resistance Forces, an umbrella group for the main Chadian rebel factions created in late January 2008. The two neighbors broke off diplomatic relations last year, with each accusing the other of supporting rebel assaults on their capitals. Although relations were re-established in November, ties still remain tense between the two central African nations. MT/DT / Pirates receive $3.2M for Israeli ship Tue, 03 Feb 2009 17:28:54 GMT http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=84529sectionid=351020501 The Israeli-owner of a Ukrainian-flagged arms-loaded ship held by Somali pirates pays 3.2 million dollars in return for the vessel's release. The MV Faina and its crew-- 17 Ukrainians, three Russians and one Latvian national-were captured on September 25 in the notorious Somali waters. The vessel was carrying with a cargo of 33 Soviet-type battle tanks, rocket launchers and ammunition, allegedly expected to reach rebels in the Sudanese violent Darfur region. On Tuesday, a plane from South Africa carrying $ 3.2 million dropped the demanded ransom onto the Faina upon an agreement between the pirates and the ship's owner, Press TV correspondent reported. The pirates said they will release the ship in a few hours, as soon as they count the sum and confirm there are no warships to hunt them. The news comes after the Israeli owner of the vessel had earlier refused to hold talks with the bandits, who had repeatedly threatened the lives of the crew members unless they were paid a multi-million ransom. The capture of the arms-laden ship four months ago triggered a controversy over the cargo's final destination. The pirates' spokesman Sugule Ali said in October that the ship was originally destined for Sudan using the Kenyan port city of Mombasa as a stopover. Sudan's state media also revealed the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), Darfur's most powerful rebel group, has received considerably heavy military logistical support from Israel. MRS/DT
Bismillah [IslamCity] Fwd: 60 Minutes dares to report on Israeli occupation (link) -- Robin Young waits for AIPAC permission (link)
CBS News is now taking a great deal of of flack for daring to interview Palestinians whose homes were under active occupation by Israeli soldiers. In this nationally broadcast thirteen-minute segment, reporter Bob Simon broke the unwritten law of American journalism: Thou Shalt Not Embarrass Israel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7XtT91yO6g Meanwhile, supposedly independent journalists like Robin Young maintain prolonged periods of tactful silence about Israel's assaults on civilians -- assaults that have left half the world in fury, flames, or a combination of the two. Perhaps she sees her job as sedating the other half: Her program is now dutifully critiquing Super Bowl commercials for her national radio audience -- not, presumably, not the kind of reporting that won her a Peabody Award. *By contrast, Bob Simon, the 60 Minutes reporter, put his career on the line by reporting frankly on the effect Jewish West Bank settlements have had on the (moribund) peace process. **Please call him at 212-975-2006 to thank him for his extraordinary display of journalistic courage.* Then e-mail Robin Young of the radio program Here and Now ( lett...@here-now.org) and ask her whether she considers the story of the Al-Batran family newsworthy. *In Gaza, a nine-year-old girl, Haneen al-Batran, was fatally shot in the face by Israeli solders while her family sought refuge in a hospital. * The story, linked below, is accompanied by a video featuring the dead girl's older sister. *Warning: AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby, will never grant Young or other American journalists permission to click on the link below, no matter how long they may choose to wait for that permission.* *NINE-YEAR-OLD GIRL SHOT TWICE BY ISRAELI SNIPERS AS HER FAMILY SOUGHT REFUGE IN HOSPITAL* http://ramallahonline.com/eye-witness-reports/22-eye-witness-reports/2791-nine-year-old-girl-shot-twice-by-israeli-snipers-as-her-family-sought-refuge-in-al-quds-hospital-has-died Forward this e-mail!

Their chickens are all electrocuted, the power is that much that some of the brains explode and so do nerve endings. They don't do ziba as the chickens flap around too much and it leads to their wings getting damaged. This is definitely not halal and not the way that Allah says to treat these animals.

It is the largest halal plant in Britain , employing more than 250 people, slaughtering 300,000 chickens a week, and after considerable persuasion and hesitation Freeman has agreed to show me how it is done. The birds are collected from farms at night, transported to the site in the early hours of the morning, and kept in darkness until they are ready to be killed. Workers hang them upside down by their feet in shackles, suspended from a conveyor belt, or 'line', which then dangles them through an electrified bath. Their heads are submerged, and a high-frequency current in the water stuns them. The line keeps moving, taking the birds on to the slaughter area, where three men are standing ready to cut their throats. for the full article: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/islam/story/0,1442,1041065,00.html http://muftisays.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18

Bismillah [IslamCity] The silence of the Gujarati Muslims
While Muslims from Azamgarh demonstrated in New Delhi against random arrest of Muslims in the name of terrorism, Gujarat Muslims avoid any democratic agitation against indiscriminate arrest. While some say it is `fear psychosis' others hold community's 'mercantile culture' responsible for it. By TwoCircles.net special correspondent, Ahmedabad: When hundreds of innocent Muslim youths were arrested indiscriminately for interrogation into the Ahmedabad July 26, 2008 serial bomb blasts, there was not even a whisper of protest from Muslims in Gujarat. None of the Muslim NGOs or human rights organisations came forward nor any religious organization raised voice against random arrest of the Muslim youths. All of them remained confined to their cocoons as if nothing had happened with the community in Gujarat or what had happened was too minor a thing to disturb them and did not deserve any attention. There were a few organizations that had even instructed their volunteers to avoid any contact with the relatives of those rounded up by the police. But their efforts to distance themselves could not protect them from police highhandedness. The top office-bearers of a well-known organization claiming to be the champions of the community, who had maintained distance from the relatives of the arrested persons, were called to the police station and grilled intensively for more than 24 hours. However, when two Muslim youths from Azamgarh district of Uttar Pradesh in North India were shot dead in Batla House area of New Delhi on the pretext of them being terrorists, Muslims in Delhi as also Azamgarh, 800 KMs from New Delhi, came out on streets and lodged strong protest against targeting educated Muslim youths by the police. Over 3000 people from Azamgarh led by their political, social and religious leadership converged in New Delhi on January 29 to protest the hounding out of Muslims all over the country by the police in the name of tackling terror. From the physical appearances of those coming from Azamgarh and the clothes put on by them indicated that they were not financially very well off, yet each of them spent Rs. 700 from their own pocket to reach the nation's capital to protest the tyranny the Muslims are being subjected to by the state machinery in open defiance of the secular and constitutional laws of the country. A question arises why the police excesses all over Gujarat did not stir a similar reaction from Muslims in this Western Indian state though Gujarati Muslims are considered to be the richest among Indian Muslims? While sleuths of Ahmedabad crime branch indiscriminately arrested more than 500 Muslim youths for their interrogation into July 26 serial blasts, the Muslims here remained totally indifferent. Police finally arrested 51 of them and booked them in different blast cases. Among them also include a neo-Muslim, who had converted to Islam five years ago with his wife and three children and shifted to a Muslim locality in Ahmedabad after he and his family was subjected to social boycott by his relatives and neighbours in the Hindu locality. But what accounts for such indifference of the Gujarati Muslims to resort to democratic means of agitation like staging protests and taking out rallies to demand an end to the police highhandedness? ``While fear psychosis owing to extremely harsh methods used by the police and law order machinery used to suppress Muslims in 2002 and even prior to that in 1992-93 anti-Muslim riots has resulted in an attitude of indifference of Muslims to police excesses, `mercantile culture' of the community is mostly responsible in shaping their existing behaviour and cold responses to such outrages'', opines Dr. Hanif Lakdawala, a medico-turned-activist representing Ahmedabad-based NGO Sanchetna. The mercantile culture in which one gives more importance to profit and gains, according to Dr. Lakdawala, generates fear and awe about those wielding the power to cause harm. When he went around various localities in Ahmedabad and questioned the local community leaders about arrests, he was told that police had promised to release them in a day or two and hence, there was no need to organize any protest. ``while gross violation of human rights was taking place, the local and state community leaders exhibited a reaction as if nothing wrong was being done with the community'', Dr. Lakdawala, himself a Gujarati, said. ``This is really very obnoxious'', he commented. Ibrahim sheikh, another social activist, had called a meeting of some local leaders, businessmen and activists at his residence to organize a protest against detention of innocent Muslims. ``But a well known businessman and a politician attending the meet warned not to organize any protest as he expressed fear they will also be harassed by the police'', sheikh narrated, saying that fear of state apparatus runs very deep among Gujarati Muslims and it was the reason for Muslims not to take part in anti-police

*BOYCOTT America Britain* Boycott All NON ESSENTIAL Goods Services (Starting With their Currency) from BRITAIN (For CREATING An ILLEGITIMATE Entity Called ISRAEL) the US (For Its STAUNCH Support for the Continued ZIONIST OCCUPATION of Palestine. ** *Israel** Threatens Response to New Militant Rockets* *By MATTI FRIEDMAN, Associated Press Writer **Matti Friedman, Associated Press Writer** ** * *http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090201/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_israel_palestinians* *JERUSALEM – Gaza militants launched two rockets and a mortar shell into southern Israel early Sunday, drawing a threat of disproportionate retaliation from Israel's prime minister and further straining a cease-fire that ended Israel's Gaza offensive. The flare-up in violence came just over a week before Israel's parliamentary vote, pitting Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni — one of the architects of the offensive — against the more hawkish Benjamin Netanyahu. Continued fighting could influence the outcome by raising questions about the effectiveness of Israel's actions in Gaza.* There were no casualties from Sunday's attacks, though one rocket landed near a kindergarten in a community near Gaza, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. Warning sirens sent residents scrambling for shelter. *Speaking to his Cabinet on Sunday, Israel's outgoing prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said Israel would respond when and where we choose.* *The Israeli offensive was aimed at halting years of rocket attacks, and the military declared a cease-fire on Jan. 18 after declaring its goals had been achieved. But Sunday's rockets, which followed sporadic rocket fire and the killing of an Israeli soldier in a border bombing attack last week, illustrated the difficulties of achieving a complete end to the attacks. Despite years of efforts, Israel's high-tech military has failed to stop the projectiles.* *The government's position, Olmert said, is that if there is shooting at residents of the south there will be an Israeli response that will be harsh and disproportionate by its nature to the shooting at residents of Israel and at our forces. Israeli defense officials said they had not yet formulated a response to the latest rocket fire, but said a return to the offensive — in which Israeli tanks and infantry units penetrated deep into Gaza — was unlikely. Instead, they said Israel would consider airstrikes, including possible attempts to kill Hamas leaders. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing classified security matters.* Both Israel and Hamas have been talking to Egyptian mediators about a long-term truce. Israel wants an end to arms smuggling into Gaza from Egypt. Hamas wants Israel and Egypt to reopen Gaza's borders, which have been virtually sealed since Hamas violently seized power in June 2007. *Responding to Israel's concerns, U.S. Army engineers arrived at the Gaza-Egypt frontier on Sunday to set up ground penetrating radar to detect smuggling tunnels, an Egyptian security official said. Inside the Rafah terminal — the gateway between Egypt and Gaza — four army trucks loaded with wooden crates and drills could be seen accompanied by four U.S. Army engineers. The Egyptian officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity the subject. Israel has repeatedly called on Egypt to do more to end the smuggling.* On Sunday morning, AP Television News footage in the border town of Rafahshowed surveillance cameras mounted on the roof of a house on the Egyptian side. An Egyptian soldier was visible on the balcony, looking into Gaza with binoculars. The equipment had been installed in the last few days. *Attacking Hamas could be risky for the outgoing Israeli government. Renewed fighting could erode support for Livni, who has replaced Olmert as head of the centrist Kadima party and is the only serious challenger to the front-runner, hardline Likud leader Netanyahu, according to recent opinion polls. Netanyahu has been campaigning on a platform that calls for a tough stance against Hamas, and he stands to benefit if Israelis conclude that the offensive failed to achieve its goal of making residents of southern Israel safer.* Hamas has not taken responsibility for any of the new attacks, which have been claimed by smaller militant groups. But Israel says it holds Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since seizing power in June 2007, responsible for all attacks emanating from Gaza. Hamas spokesman Taher Nunu said Olmert's threat was an attempt by Israel to find false pretexts to increase its aggression against the people and to undermine Egyptian efforts to mediate a long-term cease-fire. Since ending the offensive, Israel has conducted retaliatory strikes and pounded tunnels Hamas uses to smuggle in weapons from Egypt. Israeli forces have also shot and killed three men who Palestinians identified as farmers along the Gaza-Israel border. Gaza is still struggling to recover from the punishing three-week offensive, which
Bismillah [IslamCity] An Israeli Internet site detailing alleged war crimes
An Israeli Internet site detailing alleged war crimes An Israeli human rights activists have set up an Internet site detailing alleged war crimes committed by senior government officials and Israel Defense Forces officers. No known human rights organization is behind the site, whose founders refuse to give their names. The site, www.wanted.org.il, includes arrest orders, complete with pictures and personal details, for Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert,Livni, Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai, Public Security Minister Avi Dichter, National Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi and his two predecessors, Dan Halutz and Moshe Ya'alon, former air force commander Eliezer Shkedy and others. It also explains how to inform the International Criminal Court in The Hague of when the suspects are outside Israel, and hence vulnerable to arrest. The arrest order for Barak, for instance, states: On December 27, 2008, the suspect ordered an aerial assault on all of Gaza's population centers. The assault included hundreds of sorties by fighter jets that dropped hundreds of tons of bombs on residential areas of Gaza, which led to the deaths of 1,200 people - men, women and children. Some 5,300 people were wounded and hundreds of thousands became refugees. On December 10, 2008, a formal complaint was filed against Ehud Barak to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Holland ... on suspicion of war crimes and crimes against humanity because of the siege of Gaza.

RE: Bismillah [IslamCity] Bosnia: Living example of West's Muslim-hatred
Dear Author: Salam. This account is mostly filled with highly inaccurate and biased information. US help--although late--was instrumental in bringing about peace in the Balkans. Some Muslims lost their morality and like a crying baby clamoring always a victim attitude--a far cry from Islamic values. Allah dislikes ungrateful people like this author. Go and ask Bosnian or Kosovar about American help. Kosovars calls former President Clinton as Baba Clinton (Father Clinton). If this misinformed author goes to Kosovar and acts like a crying baby, he would not come out alive. Stop sending this type of nonsense and wasting people's time. Burning of the mosque is deplorable but for that the Western people cannot be blamed. Many Arab governments like Saddam and Gaddafi supported Serbs during the crisis. Even Mubarak alerted America about Iranian shipment of arms to Bosnia. Only Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia helped Bosnia along with the US. For two years, I was on the Bosnia Task Force in the US and therefore write this with some knowledge and evidence. May Allah give Muslim Ummah wisdom and manners. Salam. _Mahboob From: To: islamc...@yahoogroups.comdate: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 00:02:49 -0600Subject: Bismillah [IslamCity] Bosnia: Living example of West's Muslim-hatred Bosnia-Hercegvina: Living example of West’s Muslim-hatred January 9, 2009 · On the day of Eid al-Adha, December 8, 2008, - a mosque in Fazlagicia Kula, a village near the town of Gacko, was set on fire and burned to ground. The incident reminds the Muslim Bosnian of their genocide during invasion of Muslim-majority Bosnia-Hercegvina by Christian Serbs and Croats in 1992-95. During that period more than 276 mosques were destroyed; over 176 Muslim scholars (mostly mosque imams) were killed - in addition to over 200,000 Muslim butchered; over 60,000 Muslim teenage girls and women raped and over two million Muslims were forced out of their homes to take refuge in neighbouring countries. The western countries armed and supported Serb army and Croat army while put armed embargo against UN member Bosnia-Hercegvina - in case some Muslim country or Jihadi group tried to come to the rescue of Bosnian Muslims. NATO played its part of disarming band of Muslim fighters, who were protecting Muslim-majority towns and villages. The inhabitants were then herded into so-called ‘Safe Heaven’ that became slaughterhouses - the most notorious one being Srebrenica massacre in July 1995 - when more than 8,000 Muslim men, women and boys were butchered in cold blood. The world only knew about this western racim and hatred toward Muslims only when tens of thousands of women and young girls straggled into Tuzla after walking for tens of miles across mountain passes. The mass-murderer Radovan Karadzic was captured last July while living in disguise in Belgrade. However, the other war-criminal General Ratko Mladic is still at large and is believed to be protected by Serbian Army. The western UN peacekeepers were no exception to Muslim-hatred and racism. General Lewis MacKenzie, Canadian head of UN peacekeeping force in Bosnia-Hercegvina was charged for sexually molesting four Muslim women held by Serbian forces in a prison camp in a Sarajevo suburb. Western press painted Bosnian president Alija Izetbegovic (d. 2003) as “Islamic fundamentalist”, whose aim is to establish an Islamic state within Europe and Iran’s radical Islamic government contributed US$500,000 towards his presidency campaign and later supplied US$300-500 million worth of arms to Muslim-dominated government - shipped via Croatia. Everything was going okey for the western world as long as the Serbs were capturing more and more Muslim territory - but when Bosnian forces started pushing them back - the West played it US card - and in late 1995, US president Bill Clinton dispatched some 20,000 US troops to Bosnia to stop Bosnian recovering their lost territory while capturing some Serbian towns and villages. Then came the Dayton Agreement (sponsored by Clinton administration), which in fact destroyed Bosnian Muslim people ever having an independent country of their own. The current Republic of Bosnia-Hercegovina is a federation of three autonomous regions - Bosniak (34%), Serb (48%), and Croats (18%). Bosnia has a rotating presidency. While Bosnians are still the largest community in the federation - they continue to suffer attacks from fellow Christian Serbs and Croats. Bosnian Muslims follow Sufi school (85% Sunni and 15% Shias). The “Iranian experts” and “Mujahideen” has long left the country but Iranian embassy still keeps the largest staff among IOC countries and is involved in several reconstruction projects. Servians hatred of Islam goes beyond the Battle of Kossova. Unlike most of Balkan Muslim communities - “Bosnian Muslims are not Turkic but natives belonging to a heretical Christian sect, called Bogomiles who from the 13th century

As Salaamu Alaikum
Look InwardsWe all have three eyes. Two for looking out and one for looking in.
Why would we want to look in when everything is happening 'out there'? Because
the treasure we seek is inside, not outside. What is treasure? Beauty, truth,
peace, happiness. You already have what you seek. You already are stunningly
beautiful. You are already peaceful and loving. How come you don't know this?
Simple, you never look inwards, beyond superficial memories or recent
experiences, so you never see your own riches. Take a moment to stop, look in
and see. Don't rush. Don't search. Just look. And be aware

Bismillah [IslamCity] A thought
As Salaamu Alaikum
Think big rise above little things. Be a big thinker. You are what you think.
So just think big, believe big, act big, dream big, work big, give big, forgive
big, laugh big, image big, love big, live big. Carry that list and you'll start
feeling big. Be a believer and you'll be an achiever.

Gentleness is not a lack of strength but a great power that doesn't force or

Bismillah [IslamCity] Controversial Bestseller Shakes the Foundation of the Israeli State
Controversial Bestseller Shakes the Foundation of the Israeli State What if the Palestinian Arabs who have lived for decades under the heel of the modern Israeli state are in fact descended from the very same children of Israel described in the Old Testament? And what if most modern Israelis aren't descended from the ancient Israelites at all, but are actually a mix of Europeans, North Africans and others who didn't return to the scrap of land we now call Israel and establish a new state following the attempt to exterminate them during World War II, but came in and forcefully displaced people whose ancestors had lived there for millennia?

A humble reminder
One day of the many days
There was a man traveling on a trip with his Wife and Kids
And on the way he met someone standing in the roadway
So he asked him: Who are you?
He said:
I am the money
So the man asked his wife and kids :
Should we ask him to ride with us?
They said together: Yes of course because with the money it can help us if we
wanted to do anything, and if we wanted to get anything we desired,
So they took the Money to ride with them.
And the vehicle continued its way until the man
met someone else on the road
So the Father asked: Who are you?
He said:
I am the high position and power
So the father asked his wife and kids :
Should we ask him to ride with us?
So they all answered together in one voice:
Yes of course because with the high position and power we have the ability to
do anything we want and own anything we desired.
So they took the high position and power with them
And the vehicle continued to finish its trip .
And likewise he met in the same manner many people which give the pleasures and
desires of this life, UNTIL ..
They met one person on the way..
The Father asks him Who are you?
He said: I am the Deen (Islam)
So the father, wife, and kids said all together in one voice: No no this isn't
the time, we desire the pleasures of this life and dunyah, and the Deen will
prevent us and ban us from these things and it will take control over us, and
we will be worn-out from being loyal to it and its learning. And the halal and
the Haram, and this thing prayer and that thing hijab, and this fasting , and
and and and and etc, It will be a burden upon us!!!
But what is certain is that we will definitely return for you to pick you up
but only after we enjoy this life and everything in it.
So sadly they left him behind and the vehicle continued its trip.
And out of no where something appeared in the middle of the road
It was a check point in the road and it had a sign saying
STOP!!!
And they found a man gesturing for the father to get out of the vehicle.
So the man said to the father:
The trip has ended as far as you are concerned
And it is upon you to get out and come with me.
The father was shocked with fear and didn't say a word.
So the man said to him: I am searching for the DEEN.e Islam Is he with you?
He answered: No I left him not too far back. So if you can let me go back, I
can get him for you :
You do not have the ability to go back, your trip has ended and there is no
going back now.. returning is impossible said the man.
But I have
The Money,
The high position and power,
My Wife,
My Kids,
and and and and and and on.
The man said to him:
They will not benefit you nor will they
protect you in front of Allah. Not one bit!
And you will leave all of this, and not one of them will help you except for
The Deen e Islam you know? The one which YOU left back in the road.
So the father asked: And who are you exactly?
I AM DEATH
The one which you were needless
of and didn't take into account in your trip!!
The father looked at his vehicle and found his wife taking control of it and
continuing the trip with all of its passengers but him
And none of them stayed with him, and none of them helped him in any way.
Abu Hurairah (r.a.) reported: Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,
Be prompt in doing good deeds (before you are overtaken) by turbulence which
would be like a part of the dark night. A man would be a believer in the
morning and turn to disbelief in the evening, or he would be a believer in the
evening and turn disbeliever in the morning, and would sell his Faith for
worldly goods Riyadh-us Saliheen Muslim Haidth number 87 Chapter 106
Allah says in The Holy Quran Chapter 102 Surah Takhathur verses 1-2:
1 The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good of this world) diverts you
(from the more serious things; ie. salvation in the life Hereafter)
2 Until ye visit the graves (ie. until one is buried in one's grave!)

Very interesting discoveries of
Dr. Tariq Al Swaidan
might grasp your attention:
Dr.Tarig Al Swaidan discovered some verses in the
Holy Qur'an
That mention one thing is equal to another,
i.e. men are equal to women.
Although this makes sense grammatically,
the astonishing fact is that the number of
times the word man appears in
the Holy Qur'an
is 24 and number of times the word
woman appears is also 24,
therefore not only is this phrase correct in
the grammatical sense but also true mathematically,
i.e. 24 = 24.
Upon further analysis of various verses,
he discovered that this is consistent throughout the whole
Holy Qur'an
where it says one thing is like another.
See below for astonishing result of
the words mentioned number of times in Arabic
Holy Qur'an
Dunia (one name for life) 115 .
Aakhirat (one name for the life after this world) 115
Malaika (Angels) 88 . Shayteen (Satan) 88
Life 145 .. Death 145
Benefit 50 . Corrupt 50
People 50 .. Messengers 50
Eblees (king of devils) 11 . Seek refuge from Eblees 11
Museebah (calamity) 75 . Thanks ! 75
Spending (Sadaqah) 73 . Satisfaction 73
People who are mislead 17 .D Dead people 17
Muslimeen 41 .J Jihad 41
Gold 8 .E Easy life 8
Magic 60 .F Fitnah (dissuasion, misleading) ! 60
Zakat (Taxes Muslims pay to the poor) 32
Barakah (Increasing or blessings of wealth) 32
Mind 49 .N Noor 49
Tongue 25 .S Sermon 25
Desite 8 .F Fear 8
Speaking publicly 18 .P Publicising 18
Hardship 114 Patience 114
Muhammad(saw) 4 .S Sharee'ah (Muhammad (saw) teachings) 4
Man 24 . Woman 24
And amazingly enough have a look how many times
the following words appear:
Salat 5 , Month 12 , Day 365 ,
Sea 32 , Land 13
Sea + land = 32 + 13= 45
Sea = 32/45*100q.= 71.%
Land = 13/45*100 = 28.8889%
Sea + land 100.00%
Modern science has only recently proven that the water covers
71.111% of the
earth, while the land covers 28.889%.
Is this a
