INNALILAH!!!

Near the coast of Japan there has been an earthquake as u all know! Experts say that this will lead to a formation of new island. If u remember that the prophet; Muhammad (sall Allahu alaihi wasallam) had once quoted that DAJJAL (Antichrist) is imprisoned on an island towards the west. Japan is the first land to receive sunlight and to see the dawn in the world. Before the coming of Imam Mehdi (A.S) it was quoted that the year before his arrival will face solar n lunar eclipse which has already occurred twice last year! There are more signs which can be seen around! Is the judgment day closer ? Offering Salaah is one of the most necessary work in all our lives while straining away from all the wrong path! This is a wakeup call for all the Muslims! Let's unite and face the signs together and be happy to get rid of this slavery life of ours!! Forward this message if u think this is relevant! The choice is urz!! Our prophet (Sall Allahu alaihi wasallam) told us that there would be 3 major earthquakes before judgment day. One in the east , one in the west, and one in Arabia. There has already been one in Japan;(East)and­ one in Haiti;(West). Its so very scary. What have we done to deserve a place in Jannah?-we watch TV, swear, talk back & give attitude to elders, we watch things that we are not supposed to watch, some don't even dress modestly.We listen to music & spend time learning the lyrics, but why not learn the Quran? It's probably because we don't have enough Imaan (faith) in us. We need to get rid of bad habits and get onto the good ones. Send this to as many Muslim brothers and sisters. If people act upon this, then In Sha Allah, you will get rewards.... 93% will not pass this on, will you be one of them? Allah says:’ If you deny me in front of your friends, then I will deny you on the day of judgment'.

Something i read and want to share

Every king was once a crying baby, every great building was once a map.
It's not important where you are today; the most important thing is where you will reach tomorrow.

Never be proud of what position you hold, because after a game of chess,
even the king and the soldiers go in to the same box."

May Allah place our boxes into a garden from the gardens of Jannah and not into a pit from the pits of Jahannum.

The Last Ten Days of Ramadan

The Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) said, "If any Muslim comes out of Ramadan without gaining forgiveness and goodness, he is a real loser." (Ibn Hibban and At-Tabarani)

The last ten days of Ramadan are very special days in the life of every Muslim. According to Muslims, they are the most blessed days in the blessed month of Ramadan, the month the Holy Quran was revealed. Muslims believe that although the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) was promised Paradise, he used to exert himself even more in worship during these last ten days, hoping to draw closer to Allah. The Prophet's wife Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet used to tighten his waist belt and used to pray all the night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers." (Bukhari)

For Muslims, the last ten days should be a time to perfect one's fast and avoid anything that may break it. It is a time to give more charity and to settle disputes and forgive one another. It is also a time for soul searching, evaluating one's life, supplicating, and asking forgiveness. This should be done sincerely because if Allah accepts the supplications, the reward is the remission of one's sins.

The best time to do it is in the last part of the night. Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said, "When the last one third of the night remains, our Lord, the Glorious One, descends towards the lower heaven and proclaims: 'Is there anyone supplicating to Me so that I grant his supplication? Is there anyone begging of Me for anything so that I grant him his wish? Is there anyone who seeks My forgiveness so I forgive him?'" (Bukhari and Muslim)

During the last third of Ramadan, one should recite more Quran and remember Allah more often, even constantly.

The last ten days are also known for Itekaf (spiritual retreat). The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) used to perform Itekaf in the mosque during the last ten days of Ramadan, barely sleeping during that time. Itekaf requires a total devotion to Allah; it is a sort of vacation with Him. The time is spent worshiping, performing extra Salah (ritual prayers), reciting Quran, making Thikr (remembrance of Allah) and duaas (supplications). One should leave behind the cares of this world, and even eat and sleep in the mosque. Those who cannot perform Itekaf for ten days, should try to do it for a shorter time, if only for one night or a day or two.

Laylat Al-Qadr also occurs during the last ten days of Ramadan. The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said, "Any Muslim who stands in Prayer during Laylat Al-Qadr out of faith and sincerity, his previous sins will be forgiven.

STRANGER

A few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on.

As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special niche. My parents were complementary instructors: Mum taught me good from evil, and Dad taught me to obey.

But the stranger.... he was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures,mysteries and comedies. If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science, he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future! He took my family to the first major league ball game. He made me laugh, and he made me cry.The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.

Sometimes, Mum would get up quietly while the rest of us were shushing each other to listen to what he had to say, and she would go to the kitchen for peace and quiet.(I wonder now if she ever prayed for the stranger to leave.)

Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the stranger never felt obligated to honor them.

Profanity, for example, was not allowed in our home - not from us,our friends or any visitors. Our long time visitor, however, got away with four-letter words that burned my ears and made my dad squirm and my mother blush.

My Dad didn't permit the liberal use of alcohol but the stranger encouraged us to try it on a regular basis. He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly, and pipes distinguished.

He talked freely (much too freely!) about sex. His comments were sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive, and generally embarrassing...!

I now know that my early concepts about relationships were influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked

And NEVER asked to leave.

More than thirty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you could walk into my parents' den today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures.

.

.

His name?.... We just called him TV.

He has a wife now....we call her "Computer"

Their first child is "Cell Phone".

Second child "IPod"

And JUST BORN FEW YEARS BACK WAS a Grandchild "IPAD"

Coping With Peer Pressure

What happens during the school years is very important. Many parents and community leaders brush-off unfavourable and unIslamic Muslim youth behaviour as being a short-term phenomena, a mix of hormones and bad friends. Time, it is argued, will mature their thoughts and bring them in line. This is rarely the case.

The school years form a critical part of the mental, religious and social development of our Muslim youth. Factors such as the school’s curriculum, social pressures and make-up can solidly mould the direction the Muslim youth will take. By far the most dangerous influence is that of ‘ peer pressure ‘, whereby Muslims are pressured (mentally and physically) to conform to some social ‘norm’ or group behaviour. This can set an irreparable deviated path for the rest of their lives.
Pressures from the Education system

In a country which boasts of heralding individual and religious rights, Muslims are still on the lower rung of the ladder. Even the school administration will exert pressures on Muslims to study and participate in Islamically abhorred activities.

Compulsory participation in sports events brings many brothers and sisters into a state of conflict, who if refuse to participate, will be publicly rebuked and humiliated. Sisters have been known to be harassed to participate in swimming carnivals, gymnastics and dancing, many of which can involve male participation. Not attending formals, camps and discos are actually punished, through increased study load, and also mentally through public disgrace (letting the school know who isn’t joining in).

Other reported cases of teacher discrimination in Australia includes teachers snatching the hijab off sisters, neglecting cases of abuse against Muslims (Muslims are supposed to have been used to being singled-out by now), and police investigations into the activities of Muslims purely on the basis of their religion.
Peer Pressure

Fellow students can have a devastating effect on the moral and piety of a Muslim. These pressures should never be underestimated, which can intimidate a Muslim into taking drugs, smoking, ‘hanging out’ with a socialize friends; to nightclubs, and having illegal relationships man and women , man and man or women and women .

Sisters feels compelled to waste money on extravagant items, ‘name-tags’, such as Fiorelli and Benetton, for the sole purpose of fitting-in. The preservation of her virginity is not a virtue, but rather a disgrace, a symbol of her ‘frigidity’ . It sounds crazy, but whether we ignore this or not, it is there and in a big way.

Brothers must act and smell and look like the Kuffaar to avoid persecution. Anything which will take them away from their Islamic bonds. It’s the right thing to abuse your parents, obeying them is downright lack of personality.
Who are we?

The sad thing is that, we have the solution for all of this, but we ignore it. Muslims don’t have to feel that they’re a group without identity or meaning. Nor should we allow anyone to prevent us from fulfilling our duties to Allah (S.W.T).

Legally, we have many options to take in practicing Islam at school. We have a right to pray during the specified times. Many schools now has Friday Prayers in a designated room. it took was the joint effort of committed students, who themselves conduct the Khutbah. We also have the right to celebrate our festivals, and wear our prescribed clothing without harassment. Other religious groups are permitted by the Schools to refrain from certain school activities. The Amish do not watch television class, the Sikhs wear their turbans wherever they go, the Jehovah Witness do not participate in the flag-raising or singing the national anthem. We also have our rights to watch what we deem permissible, and refrain from unIslamic events. Many precedents have been set in this regard. It requires the strength of our brothers and sisters, a joint effort, and the knowledge that Muslims will not disobey Allah for the will of anyone.

The Prophet (saws) and the Companions had nothing but disgust for the way of life of the disbelievers. In fact, they had so much disgust that they purposely did everything the opposite of them. ‘Umar bin al-Khattab’ (r.a.a.) actually forced the Muslims to look differently from the disbelievers. So why are we trying to imitate them?

Muslims have been given honour through Islam and nothing else. Not through expensive designer clothes, nor expensive sneakers, or top ten CD’s. In fact, if you examine the history of the Kuffaar, you will find them so inconsistent in their behaviour that only an idiot would want to copy them. Every year brings on a new fashions, a new habit, a new religion. One year, its drugs, then its alcohol, then its mineral water and alls the things that can destroy themselves.
Australians can only copy Americans, which really shows how much sense of identity they have. Americans love hip hop, so do Australians. They wear baseball caps, we all may as well follow them.

Muslims however have their own identity, history and religion, which millions have flocked to escape the filth and stupidity of Kufr. Why are we doing the opposite?

Our Youth have to be supported by the community. When they are in need of assistance, we must be there. This could be financially, or morally. When they begin on reforming themselves, and assisting in bringing about a change, the solid support must be there to helps them for growing and reforming .
