If a couple have debts must zakat be paid for the gold the wife has?

Question:
If a couple have debtsmust zakat be paid for the gold the wife has?
Answer:
Wa alaik as salam
First of all, you need to understand that even as a couple living together, each spouse is obligated to perform his/her own duties. Debt's incurred by the husband will not be counted as the wife's debts and vice versa.
Secondly, in light of the above, if the debts have been incurred by the husband, he may deduct them from his annual zakah i.e. 2.5% of total zakatable wealth owned by the husband only and give the remainder if any.
The wife has to give zakahseparately. If she has incurred the debts, she may deduct them from the total zakah due on herwealth only. Otherwise she has to give full zakah on her assets including all gold and silver jewelry.
Both their wealth will not be considered as one unless it is jointly owned.
And only Allah Almighty knows best./ - - - :-> Transtors: 1.http://free-translation.imtranslator.net/lowres.asp 2.http://translate.google.com/m?twu=1&hl=en&vi=m&sl=auto&tl=en

types of angels?

In almost all cultures, Angels have their place. What they do and how
they serve depends on what type they are. The word "angel" is from the
Greek word, angelos, meaning 'messenger'. There are actually nine
different types of angels. Serphim, cherubim, thrones, dominations,
principalities, virtues, powers, archangels and guardian angels. Some
only have the job of worshipping God, while others are messengers for
God. Yet others are our protectors and some do battle with devils.
The serphim is the highest of the nine types. They are the closest to
God. They circle God's throne with their love and devotion. They are
said to have six wigs, have a body of a horse and a face of a long
bearded man. They have never been seen by humans.
The second highest of angels, are the cherubim. They are said to
possess great knowledge and wisdom. Their duties to God include
keeping records and keeping an eye on things in heaven. Their vast
knowledge and wisdom is so great that if a human were to look upon
them, the human would go blind with their brilliance. They have
neverbeen seen by humans.
The third highest are thrones. They are the counselors and
companionangels. The thrones are also known as the "many-eyed ones."
The thrones have the job of carrying out divine judgments. They have
never been seen by humans.
Next in line are the dominions. The dominations have the virtues and
powers. Their job in heaven is to delegate jobs to the lower angels.
They take care of the smaller details in heaven and earth. For any
other jobs, the cherubim and thrones tell them what to do. They have
rarely been seen by humans.
Following the dominions are the virtues. They virtues preside over the
elements of the world. They watch over nature and have rarely been
seen by humans.
After the virtues are the powers. Their duties include stopping the
demons efforts for domination. They are also responsible for the
cosmic order and to watch over the human raced.
The principalities come next. These angels have the job of caretakers
of every nation all the way down to every home. Theywork with guardian
angelsand are assigned to people.
The archangels follow after the principalities. Their job is rule over
stellar orders.
Last are the guardian angles. They watch over allof us. Their job is
to guild and protect us.
Angels were created by God before humans as pure spirit; they are all
symbols of all that is good.They carry out our communications with
God.They are immortal. According to Scriptures, there is no indication
of exactly when angels were created, except they were created before
man. They areimmortal. In normal form they are pure energy or spirit.
But when need be, they assume human form.
We have celebrated angelsfor centuries in books, painting and
sculptures. Alldefine and describe angles as wearing white with huge
white feathered wings and sometimes witha beautiful halos around their
heads. Most of us even have figurines in our homes of angles, most as
symbols of protection.
Whether you believe in them or not, they have been mentioned
throughout the centuries and have a strong place in time.

1a] He gave charity on the basis that by doing so all his sins would be forgiven

1a]
accordance with sharee'ah, and whatever there is of innovation in
itmay be forgiven on the basis that he tried to work out what was
correct or he was following someone and thus may be excused. The same
applies to whatever is mentioned of benefits of certain actions;
whatever benefit is gained may be because ofwhatever in his action was
in accordance with sharee'ah, such as fasting, dhikr, reading Qur'aan,
bowing, prostrating and good intentions in worshipping and obeying
Allah and calling upon Him. And whatever it included of things that
aredisliked in sharee'ah may be forgiven by Allah because he based his
action of what he thoughtwas best or he followed the example of
someone else. And this is applicableto everything that may bementioned
of the benefitsof some innovated actionsthat are disliked, but
nevertheless this possible benefit does not cancel out the fact that
it is disliked and forbidden, and one should do what is prescribed and
has no innovation in it.

And Allah knows best.

1] He gave charity on the basis that by doing so all his sins would be forgiven

MY question is, if someone lies to you by saying all ur sins we be
removed and u will be like a new born baby if you give zakat every
month. and u ask them for daleel and them give usome made up
daleel(proof) and u do that act such as giving zakat every month. so
even if that wasn't true and the person lied to u but u searched the
the daleel and found it but actually the daleel wasn't true would all
ur sins still be erased?
Im asking this question because this problem happens to many people.
Praise be to Allaah.
With regard to the one who deliberately tells a lieabout Allah and His
Messenger, he is promisedthe punishment of Hellfire. It was narrated
that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger
of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever
tells a lie about me deliberately, let him take his place in Hell."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (110) and Muslim (2).
Some of those who tell lies about Islam think thatthey are doing
somethinggood if the lie is about virtues or encouraging people to do
good deeds or deterring them from doing bad deeds.
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
When he forbade lying about him, the Prophet (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) did not differentiate between that which has to do
with rulings and that which does not have to do with rulings, such as
encouraging people to do good deeds, deterring them from doing bad
deeds, exhorting and so on. All lies about him are haraam and are
major sins and abhorrent actions, according to the consensus of those
Muslims whose opinions are qualified to be taken as part of consensus,
in contrast to the innovatorsof the Karaamiyyah groupwho falsely
claimed that it is permissible to fabricate hadeeths with regard to
encouraging people to do good deeds and deterring them from doing bad
deeds, and they were followed in that regard by many ignorant people
who claimed to be ascetics or who were classified as such by ignorant
people. Their opinions, actions and evidence are indicative of a great
deal of ignorance and negligence, and are the clearest proof that they
have no knowledge of any of the basic rulings of Islam. In their
views, they have combined many flaws that are suited to their foolish
minds and corrupt way of thinking. They have gone against the words of
Allah, may He be glorified and exalted (interpretation of the
meaning): "And follownot (O man, i.e., say not, or do not, or witness
not) that of which you have noknowledge. Verily, the hearing, and the
sight, and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned (by
Allaah)" [al-Isra' 17:36]. And they have gone against the clear
meaning of these mutawaatir hadeeths andwell known hadeeths which
regard false testimony as a very serious matter. And they have gone
against the consensus of the scholars and other definitive evidence
that proves that it is haraam to attribute words falsely to any
individual, so how about the one whose words are part of sharee'ah and
regarded as Wahy (Revelation)? If you look at their words, you will
find that they are telling lies about Allah, may He be exalted. Allah,
may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): "Nor does he
speak of (his own) desire. 4. It is only a Revelation revealed"
[al-Najm 53:3].
End quote from Sharh Muslim, 1/70, 71
What is based on an invalid foundation is invalid. Whoever does anyact
of worship thinking that he will have a specificreward, then finds out
that that is not so, will not have the reward that he thought he would
get, because the issue of reward rests with Allah and does not depend
on weak and fabricated hadeeths.
This does not mean that he is sinning, because of the hadeeth of Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of
Allah (blessings and peaceof Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever is
given a verdict that is not based on proper knowledge, his sins will
be on the one who gave him the verdict." Narrated by Abu Dawood (3657)
and Ibn Maajah (53); classed as hasan by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh
al-Jaami', 6069.
So this person who gave charity will have a rewardfor his charity, and
charityis one of the causes of forgiveness for sins. But asto whether
all sins will be forgiven because of charity, Allah knows best.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said, when discussing innovated acts of worship:
There is no doubt that theone who does them on the basis of his own
misinterpretation or because he is following (a shaykh or scholar)
will have one reward for his good intention and will be rewarded for
his deed inasmuch as it is in accordance with sharee'ah,

gave zakaah when not entitled to it

My brother has a mental disability and some people gave us zakaah
forhim. Please note that my brother is not in need andhe has his own
income which reaches the nisaab, and zakaah is paid on it. What should
we do with this money that came to us? Do we have the right to dispose
of it and give itto someone who is entitled to it?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If your brother is independent of means or has someone who spends on
him, then he is not entitled to zakaah and it is not permissible for
you to accept any money that comes that you know is zakaah. You have
to tell the one who is giving zakaah that your brother is not entitled
to it, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
said concerning zakaah: "No one who is independent of means or who is
strongand able to earn a living should have any share in it." Narrated
by Abu Dawood, 1391 and al-Nasaa'i, 2551; classed as saheeh by
al-Albaani inSaheeh Sunan Abi Dawood.
And he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Charity is
not permissible for a rich person, or for one who is strong and
healthy." Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1329; al-Tirmidhi, 589; al-Nasaa'i,
2550; Ibn Maajah, 1829. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh
Sunan al-Nasaa'i.
Whatever you have of thismoney must be given back to the one who
gaveit, so that he can give it tosomeone who is entitled to it. But if
he delegates you to give it to people who are entitled to zakaah,
there is nothing wrong with that.
It says in Mataalib Ooli al-Nuha (2/259): If zakaahis given to someone
who is not entitled to it, because the giver was unaware of that, the
one who took it has to return it to him with any increase in it,
whether in weight or in the form of offspring [as in the case ofa
donated sheep, camel, etc], because it is in increase in the giver's
wealth.

And Allah knows best.

Ruling on paying zakaah in instalments because the cash is not available; does she haveto take a loan in order to pay zakaah?

I put my money in two Islamic bank portfolios.
The first is for construction of real estatein an Islamic Indian city.
The project was completed three years ago without receiving anymoney
and I cannot withdraw the money. Thesecond is also in real estate, but
every four months I receive a small amount of profits that I spend on
my needs. For the past three years I have been saving some ofmy
monthly maintenance (from my husband) and have been paying the zakaah
on my wealth which has reached the sum of ten thousand.
But this year I was not able to save because my husband was building a
private villa and because prices rose. Now Ramadanis approaching and I
feel very worried because I donot have enough money to pay zakaah,
especially since I do not like to pay zakaah from bank profits.
My question is: is it permissible for me to divide the ten thousand
(which is the amount of my zakaah) according to my ability or should I
takea loan and pay the zakaahin one go, then pay off the debt after
that?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Putting money in a shared bank portfolio to build real estate and then
trade in it or benefit from the dividends comes under the heading of
dealing in real estate shares.
The basic principle with regard to zakaah on shares is: if the company
[or bank] has not paid zakaah on its wealth for any reason, then what
theshareholders must do is pay zakaah on their shares. If the
shareholder is able to find out from the company accounts how much
zakaah is due on his own shares (that is if the company has paid
zakaah on its wealth in the manner indicated), then he should pay
zakaah on his shares in this manner, because that is the basic
principle with regard to paying zakaah on shares.
If the shareholder is not able to find out about that:
If he bought shares in the company with the aim of benefitting from
the annual dividend of the shares, not with the aim of trading in
them, then this shareholder does not have to pay zakaah on the shares
themselves; rather he must pay zakaah on the dividend, at the rate of
one quarter of one tenth after one full hijri year has passed since he
took possession of the dividend. He should also pay attention to the
conditions of zakaah being obligatory and make sure there are no
impediments.
If the shareholder bought the shares with the aim oftrading in them,
he should pay zakaah on them as trade goods. If zakaah becomes due on
them when they are still in his possession, he should pay zaakah on
the market value. If they haveno market value, he should pay zakaah on
their value as estimated by experts. He should pay one quarter of one
tenth, or 2.5%, of that value andof the profit if there is any.
End quote from Majallat Majma' al-Fiqh al-Islami (1/879)
Based on that:
If you bought this portfolio with the intention of benefitting from
the dividends, but you have not received anything, then you do nothave
to pay zakaah on it. If you have received a small amount of profit,
but you spent it before one full hijri year had passed, then you do
not have to pay zakaah on it either.
If you bought these shares with the intention of trading in them, then
you have to pay zakaah every year on the market value of the shares.
There is nothing wrong with you paying the obligatoryzakaah from any
money you have, from bank profits or otherwise, so long as it is
permissible according to sharee'ah.
Secondly:
If a person is obliged to pay zakaah but he does not have any cash, it
is permissible for him to delay paying zakaah until he has the cash,
or to pay in instalments whenever he is able to do so, and hedoes not
have to take out a loan.
Al-Mirdaawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Insaaf (3/186):
If youare not able to pay it fromthe wealth itself because it is not
available or for some other reason, it is permissible to delay it
until you are able to do so. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If the land and
the like, such as the house and car and so on, are intended for trade,
then you have to pay zakaah every year based on their value at the end
of the zakaah year, and it is not permissible to delay that, except
for one who is unable to pay his zakaah because he has no other
wealth. In this case he may delay it until he sells it and pays the
zakaah forall years, each year according to its value at the end of
that zakaah year, whether the value was greater than the priceor less.
What I mean is: the price for which the land or car or house was
bought.

And Allah knows best.

best times for making dua

Question
Regarding best times to make Dua, I have read thefollowing hadith:
"Narrated Abu Omamah (radiAllahu anhu): that Allah's Messenger
(salAllahu alayhiwasalam)was asked, O Messenger of Allah, which
supplication is heard (by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala), he said the end
of the night and at the end of the obligatory Salat (prayer)
[at-Tirmidhi] This time is after saying 'At-tahyat' , and before
making Tasleem (finishingprayer)"
I wanted to know how can we interprete that themeaning of end of
obligatory salat is after saying 'At-tahyat' , and before making
Tasleem (finishing prayer)? Why does it not mean after making Tasleem
(finishingprayer)?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu `alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The hadith in reference is:
وَقَدْ أَخْرَجَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قِيلَ
أَيُّ الدُّعَاءِ أَسْمَعُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ
عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَوْفُاللَّيْلِ الْأَخِيرِ وَدُبُرُ الصَّلَوَاتِ
الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ
Tuhfatul Ahwazi 2/169 [1]
The hadith states thatdua after farz salat is accepted.
The hadith is general.
It also refers to dua after making salam upon the completion of the salah.
In principle the salat terminates with Taslim (giving salam).
And Allah knows best.

Why are the names of the same prophets different inboth the Bible and Holy Qur'an?

Why the names of same prophets are different in both Bibleand Holy Quran?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah,the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu 'alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The names of many Prophets (Anbiya) (Alayhim al-Salaam) have been
mentioned in the Bible as well as in the Holy Qur'an. Many Anbiyaa
(Alayhim al-Salaam) were of different cultural, social and linguistic
backgrounds. For example, Hadhrat Ismail (Alayhi al-Salaam) spoke the
Hebrew language.
Since the Qur'an is in Arabic language, the names of such Anbiyaa
(Alayhim al-Salaam) were Arabasized from Hebrew, etc. in order to
accommodate for the Arabic phonetic, linguistics, etc.
This does not mean that the actual name has changed. Rather, it is a
variant version of the name in another language.
For example:
1. Ismail (Alahi al-Salaam) was Ishmael (Hebrew: יִשְׁמָעֵאל , Modern
Yishma'el Tiberian Yišmā ʻ ēl ISO 259-3 Yišma ˁ el; Greek: Ισμαήλ
Ismaēl; Latin: Ismael; Arabic: إسماعيل ‎ ʾ Ismā ʿ īl) is a figure in
the Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an, and was Abraham's first son according
to Jews, Christians and Muslim s [1]
2. Ya'qub (Alayhi al-Salaam) was from the Latin Iacobus, which was
from the Greek Ιακωβος (Iakobos), which was from the Hebrew name
יַעֲקֹב (Ya'aqov). The English names Jacob and James derive from
thesame source, with James coming from Latin Iacomus, a later variant
of Iacobus. Unlike English, many languages do not have separate
spellings for the two names.

Put the Glass Down

A professor began his classby holding up a glass with some water in
it. He held itup for all to see and asked the students, 'How much do
you think this glass weighs?'
'50 gms!'…. '100 gms!'……'125 gms' …… the studentsanswered.
'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor, 'but, my
question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few
minutes?'
'Nothing' the students said.
'Ok! What would happen ifI held it up like this for an hour?' the
professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache', said one of the students.
'You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?'
'Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress and
paralysisand have to go to hospital for sure!' ventured
anotherstudent; and all the students laughed.
'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?'
asked the professor.
'No'
'Then what caused the armache and the muscle stress?' The students were puzzled.
'Put the glass down!' said one of the students.
'Exactly!' said the professor. 'Life's problems are something like
this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head and they seem okay. Think
of them for a long time and they begin to ache. Hold it evenlonger and
they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything'.
'It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life,
but EVEN MOREIMPORTANT is to have trustin Allah (swt) and to 'put them
down' at the end of every day before you go tosleep. That way, you are
not stressed, you wake up every day fresh and strongand can handle any
issue, any challenge that comes your way!'
So, as it becomes time for you to leave office today, Remember friend
to 'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY' and have tranquility by putting trust in
Almighty Allah (swt).
Holy Quran: "He it is who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the
believers that they might have morefaith added to their faith". (48:4)
Tranquility is sign ofstrong faith while worries and stress is sign of
weak faith.
Tell to your mind every day before you go to sleep: "YAA AYYATUHAN
NAFSUL MUTMAINNAH, IRJI'II ILAA RABBIKI RADHIYATAN
MARDHIYYAH,FADKHULII FII IBAADII WADKHULII JANNATII". (Al-Fajr
89:27-30)
"O soul that is at rest satisfied. Return to your Lord well-pleased
(with Him), well-pleasing (Him). So, enter among My servants, and
enter into my Paradise".

Imam Muslim

His name was Abul-Hussain Muslim-bin-Habaj al Nishapuri. He was born
in a distinguished family of Arab Muslims in Khorasan which. was a
famous townof Russia. Imam Muslim was born in 817 A.D. corresponding
to the Islamic year 204 A.H. His forefathers occupied prominent
positions during the time of the fourCaliphs. He travelled to many
places with the object of learning Hadith, and after completing his
studies in the various centres of learning, he settled at Nishapur. He
spend the rest of his life teaching Hadith.
EDUCATION
Imam Muslim started his studies at the very early age of fourteen
years. In the year 218 A.H. the atmosphere in Nishapur, his
birthplace, was of a religious and knowledge type. Nishapur had great
personalities in this period such as lmaam Rahiwe andlmaam Zohri.
After travelling widely in search of Hadith, he settled in Nishapur as
mentioned above. Imam Muslim was much impressed by the vast knowledge
of Imaam Bukhari (R.A.), in the field of Hadith and the deep insight
he possessed on this subject. He therefore attached himself to
ImaamBukhari (R.A.) up to the end of his life. Imam Muslim was also an
admirer of another great teacher of Hadith, Muhammed bin Yahya al
Dhuli. He attended his lectures regularly. He visited Baghdad several
times and had the opportunity of delivering lessons there. His last
visit to Baghdad was two yearsbefore his death.
IMAM MUSLIM'S TEACHERS
Imam Muslim (R.A.) apart from attending the lessonsof Imaam Bukhari
regularly, also attended the lectures of lmaam Ahmad bin Hambal,
Abdullah al Qarri, Qutaiba bin Said, Abdullah bin Maslama and other
great Muhadith.
IMAM MUSLIM'S STUDENTS
Imam Muslim (R.A.'s) most noted students are Hatim Razi, Ahrnad bin
Salmah, Abu Isa Tinnizi, Abubaker bin Khuzaima and other great
scholars.
CHARACTER AND KNOWLEDGE
Imam Muslim R.A. adhered strictly to the path of righteousness. He was
in fact a great saint of a very high calibre. His excellent character
can be well judged from the simple fact that he never ever indulged in
backbiting, a very common human failing. He had a remarkable memory.
Ishaqbin Rahwi said of Imam Muslim; " I wonder what this person is
going to be?" This was said in his youth. Ishaq Kausar once addressed
lmam Muslim (R.A.) and said; "Your presence in the Muslim community
will always keep it in the good. " Abu Saimah who was a colleague of
lmam Muslim was so attached to him that while lmaam Sahib was busy
compiling the Sahih Muslim, he remainedin lmaam Sahib's companyfor
fifteen years. He never told a lie nor did he ever use vulgar words.
MASLAK
Sheikh Abdul Latief says Imaam Tirmidhi and ImamMuslim were followers
of the Shafee school of thought, although they were both Mujtahids.
Moulana Abdur-Rashid says that Imaam Muslim was a Maliki. The fact is
what was said by Sheikh Tahir Jazari that Imam Muslim is not a Maliki
nor aHanifi nor a Shafi, but his compilation of the sahih Muslim shows
that he was more inclined towards the Shafee school of thought.
SAHIH OF IMAM MUSLIM
Allamah Nabawi (R.A.) saysthat the Ummat have accepted the Bukhari
Shareef and Muslim Shareef as the Kitabs, which follow the Quraan, in
authenicity although the Bukhari is regarded as holding a higher
position than the Sahih Muslim for specific reasons, the sequence
applied in the Muslim is much better than that of Bukhari. It is known
as Al-Jamah as Sahih because it contains the eight different
subjectson Hadis.
AL-JAMAH AS SAHIH MUSLIM
Imam Bukhari (R.A.) concentrated his efforts oncompilation of
authentic hadith as well as deduction of Laws from Hadith. This is the
most difficult part to understandin the Bukhari. How he deduced Laws
from the Hadis, Imam Muslim concentrated his efforts only on
compilation of authentic Hadith.

Do women have to pronounce the adhaan andiqaamah?

Please can you tell me if it is obligatory for women tocall the
iqamaah before they pray alone or in congretion with other sisters.
Praise be to Allaah.
The Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas was asked: Is it prescribed
in sharee'ah that a woman should say the iqaamah when she is leading
other women in prayer?
They replied:
It is not prescribed for women to say the iqaamah for prayer, whether
they are praying individually or one womanleads the others in prayer,
just as it is not prescribed for them to say the adhaan.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 6/84
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him)was asked: Is it
permissible for a woman to do the adhaan and iqaamah for prayer or
not?
The shaykh replied:
It is not prescribed for women to pronounce the adhaan or iqaamah for
prayer, rather that is for men. Neither the adhaan nor the iqaamah is
prescribed for women, rather they should pray without the adhaan or
the iqaamah.

And Allaah knows best.

Kidney function

Most people have two kidneys and despite their relatively small size,
they receive approximately 20 per cent of the blood leaving the heart.
They're bean-shaped organs, the size of a fist, weighing about 150g.
They're located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage,
one on each side of the spine. The right kidney sits just below the
diaphragm andbehind the liver; the left below the diaphragm behind the
spleen, and is slightly larger.
Top
What do your kidneys do?
Healthy kidneys clean your blood and make hormones that keep your
bones strong and your blood healthy.
Each kidney has a million tiny filters, called glomeruli. They filter
about 200 litres of blood per day, sifting out about two litres of
waste products (including excesssalt) and extra water.
The wastes and extra water that's left becomes urine, which flows to
the bladder through tubes called ureters. The bladderstores urine
until releasing it during urination, and the cleansed blood returns to
the heart and recirculates through the body.
Top
Fluid balance
By removing just the rightamount of excess fluid, healthy kidneys
maintain what is called the body's fluid balance, meaning the correct
amount of water stays in the body.
In women, fluid content stays at about 55 per centof total weight, in
men about 60 per cent. The kidneys maintain these proportions by
balancing the amount of fluid that leaves the body against the amount
entering.
Blood pressure is closely related to water balance; the more water
there is inthe body, the higher the blood pressure.
Fluid comes into our bodies from what we drink, and from high-liquid
foods such as soup. If we drink a lot, healthy kidneys remove the
excess fluid and we pass more urine. If we don't drink enough, or it's
a hot drink, the kidneys retain fluid and we don't pass much urine.
Top
Other functions of the kidney
Healthy kidneys also produce a range of hormones, including:
*. Erythropoeitin (EPO), which is carried in the blood to the bone
marrow where it stimulates the production of red blood cells. These
cells carry oxygen throughout the body.
*. Renin and angiotensin, that regulate how muchsalt and fluid the
body keeps, and how well theblood vessels can expand and contract.
This, in turn, helps control blood pressure (as well as the effects of
the kidney on fluid balance).
*. Clacitriol (Vitamin D) is activated by the kidneysand controls the
amountof phosphate and calcium in the bones and blood.
Many drugs are removed from the body through secretion by the kidney
into the urine. The kidney also breaks down certain proteins and
creates glucose when you are fasting.
When kidneys fail, harmful wastes build up in your body, your blood
pressure may rise, and your body may retain excess fluid; leading to
ankle swelling and shortness of breath (water in the lungs). Lack of
EPO causes tiredness due to anaemia and lack of active Vitamin D
causes bone pain, and occasionally fractures./

Dry udders of goat becomes full with milk by the touch of Rasulullah

During the Migration of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to Medina, the Prophet (SAW) with his companions travelled until they reached to solitary tents belonging to a woman called Umm Ma'bad Al-Khuza'iyah. She was a gracious lady who sat at her tent-door with a mat spread out for any chance traveller that might pass by the way. Fatigued and thirsty, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and his companions wanted to refresh themselves with food andsome milk. The lady told them that the flock was out in the pasture and thegoat standing nearby wasalmost dry. It was a rainless year. The Prophet (Peace be upon him), withher permission, touched its udders, reciting over them the Name of Allah, and to their great joy, there flowed plenty of milk out of them. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) first offered that to the lady of the house, andhe shared what was left with the members of the party. Before he left, he milked the goat, filled the container and gave it to Umm Ma'bad. Later on, her husband arrived with slender goats hardly having any milk in their udders. He was astonished to see milk in the house. His wife told him that a blessed man passed by the way, and then she gavedetails about his physical appearance and manner of talk. Here Abu Ma'bad realized on the spot that the man was the one whom Quraish were searching for and asked her to give full descriptionof him. She gave a wonderful account of his physique and manners, towhich we will go in detail later in the process of talking about his attributes and merits.
Abu Ma'bad, after listening to his wife's account, expressed a sincere wish to accompany the Prophet (Peace be upon him) whenever that was possible, and reiterated his admiration in verses ofpoetry that echoed all over Makkah to such an extent that the people therein thought it was a jinn inculcating words in their ears. Asma', daughter of Abu Bakr, on hearing those lines, got toknow that the two companions were heading for Madinah . Theshort poem opened with thanks giving to Allah having given them (the Ma'bads) the chance to host the Prophet (Peace be upon him) for a while. It then gave an account ofthe bliss that would settlein the heart of the Prophet's companion whosoever he was; it closed with an invitation to all mankind to come and see by themselves Umm Ma'bad, her goat and the container of milk that would all testify to the truthfulness of the Prophet (Peace be upon him).

Musa's miracle repeats during the migration of the Holy Prophet

During the migration of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to Medina, Quraish had declared that whoever would seize Muhammad (Peace be upon him) would receive a hundred camels as reward. This had spurred many persons to try their luck. Among those who were on the lookout for the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and his companion in order to win the reward was Suraqah, the son of Malik. He, on receiving information that a party of four, had been spotted on a certain route, decided to pursue it secretly so that he alone should be the winner of the reward. He mounted aswift horse and went in hot pursuit of them. On the way the horse stumbled and he fell on the ground. On drawing a lot so as to divine whether he should continue the chase or not,as the Arabs used to do in such circumstances, he found the omens unpropitious. But the lust for material wealth blinded him altogether and he resumed the chase. Once more he met with the same fate but paid no heed to it. Again he jumped onto the saddle and galloped at a break-neck speed till he came quite close to the Prophet (Peace be upon him). Abu Bakr's heart agitated and he kept looking back while the Prophet (Peace be upon him) remained steadfast and continued reciting verses of the Qur'an.
The repeated stumbling of Suraqah's horse and hisfalling off awakened him to the situation, and he realized that it was a constant warning of Allah for his evil design which he contemplated against the Prophet (Peace be upon him). He approachedthe travelling group with a penitent heart and begged of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) forgiveness in all humility.He addressed the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and his companion, saying:"Your people (the Quraishites) have promised a generous reward to anyone who captures you." He added that he offered them provision but they declined his offer. They only asked him to screen off their departure and blind the polytheists to their hiding place. Then the Prophet (Peace be upon him) forgave him and confirmed it with a token written by 'Amir binFuhairah on a piece of parchment. Suraqah hurried back to Makkah and tried to foil the attempts of those who were in pursuit of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and his noble companions. The sworn enemy was converted into an honest believer./ - - - :-> Transtors: 1.http://free-translation.imtranslator.net/lowres.asp 2.http://translate.google.com/m?twu=1&hl=en&vi=m&sl=auto&tl=en
