All praise is for Allah; we praise Him, seek His aid and forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of our souls and from the wickedness of our actions. Whosoever Allah guides, then none can misguide him and whosoever Allah misguides, then none can guide him. Yesterday was 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal. Was quiet upset when muslims of my city were very active with the bidah of celebrations of birthday of Prophet Muhammad {While they stay dumb when asked the exact date of birth of Prophet. Instead abuse us, as if we are denying Prophet Muhammad {sallal lahualayhi wasallam}. May Allah swt guide us all. That which caught my attention was GREEN FLAGS, GREEN TURBANS. Even the decorations were in GREEN. What does this color - GREEN - hold significance in Islam ? I posted this to a group over a site. No answer from them {As usual these people blindly follow each other} When i searched over google, lookng for its significance, at one place did read a sentence - that Prophet sallal lahualayhi...

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste. To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for...

All praise is for Allaah; we praise Him, seek His aid and forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our souls and from the wickedness of our actions. Whosoever Allaah guides, then none can misguide him and whosoever Allaah misguides, then none can guide him I received a SMS, saying, "Rabi-ul-Awwal ka mahina shuru honay wala hai. Pyare nabi S.W.S ne farmaya, jisne sab se pehle kisi ko mubarak baad di uspar dozak ki aag haram [it shud have been haraam} hai---- Duaon mein yaad rakhein. JazakAllah. This was the exact message i received. These kind of stuff is mostly forwarded these days. Spreading lies in the name of Prophet -- Astaghfirullah !! Here's an article of Mufti Taqi Usmani sahab. Also did i club little from an other site. I pray Allah swt that the bidah practised this month be shed amongst muslims. The Meaning of the Word "Rabi-ul-Awwal":- The first month of spring. Events of Rabi-ul-Awwal * The Holy Prophet migrated from Makkah to Madinah Mu...

By Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah Produced by Ibn Il-Qayyim (d.751H) who said, "And mankind, with regard to their performance of prayer are in five levels: The First: The level of the one who is negligent and wrongs his soul. He is the one who falls short in performing ablution properly, performing the prayer upon its time and within its specified limits, and in fulfilling its essential pillars. The Second: The one who guards his prayers upon their proper times and within their specified limits, fulfils their essential pillars and performs his ablution with care. However, his striving (in achieving the above) is wasted due to whisperings in his prayer so he is taken away by thoughts and ideas. The Third: The one who guards his prayers within the specified limits, fulfils their essential pillars and strives with himself to repel the whisperings, thoughts and ideas. He is busy struggling against his enemy (shaytaan) so that he does not steal from the prayer. On account of this he is en...

As Salamu Alaikum wa rahmatullah All praise is for Allaah; we praise Him, seek His aid and forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our souls and from the wickedness of our actions. Whosoever Allaah guides, then none can misguide him and whosoever Allaah misguides, then none can guide him." INTRODUCTION Love is one of the strongest emotions placed in the heart of man - it is a power that can ruin or redeem a life- that can bring joy or painful heartbreak. Today as the world celebrates this emotion on Valentine’s Day, we see hearts of all sizes and shapes all around, hearts of chocolate and satin. O Yes! It’s Valentines! The day of hearts, red roses, poetry, candies and above all - Love! This festival in the recent years has seen a sudden boom in our society as well and is now ‘religiously’ celebrated by the young and old both. The media has played a major role in encouraging this festival and this day has become a flourishing business for selling Valentine's da...

As Salamu Alaikum All praise is for Allaah; we praise Him, seek His aid and forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our souls and from the wickedness of our actions. Whosoever Allaah guides, then none can misguide him and whosoever Allaah misguides, then none can guide him. Was reading this, and thought to share. Read it as a check list, if these signs of Qayamah are yet to come, or are already existing. You will then enjoy reading, insha Allah. May Allaah save us from all kinds of fitnahs. Ameen The Minor Signs: The disappearance of knowledge and the appearance of ignorance (Bukhari, Muslim, Ibn Majah, & Ahmad) Books/writing will be widespread and (religious) knowledge will be low (Ahmad) Adultery and fornication will be prevalent (The Prophet, peace be upon him, said that this has never happened without new diseases befalling the people, which their ancestors had not known.) (Bukhari, Muslim, Ibn Majah, & Al-Haythami) When fornication becomes widespread among...

Once upon a time. There was a rich merchant who had four (4) wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men. He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times. Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her. One day, the me...
