*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -* - Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Supplication to Recite in Qunut of the Salat during times of Peril

‎بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏-
(1) Dua Before Takbeeratul Ehram
Before uttering the Takbeeratul Ehraam, it is worthy that he recites
the invocation of attention (doa-e-tawajjoh) which,in the narration of
Abdullah Ibn Jafar Himyari (received in the tawqee' of Imam-e-Zamana
(a.t.f.s.) is as follows:
1. O Allah! Torment those who disbelieve in You, And the hypocrites
and those who fight Your Friends The Aimmah from the Family of Your
Prophet, the Pure.
2. O Alloh! Forgive me and the believing men and women. Make amends
between them (removing all rancour). Unite them in word, Make firm in
their hearts, faith and wisdom, Establish them upon the creed of Your
Prophet, Help them against Your enemy and their enemy.
3. O Allah! Guide me in (the way of) those You have guided, Save me in
(the way of) those You have saved, Protect me from the evil of that
which You have decreed, For surely it is You who decree and are not
decreed upon,He is not debased who befriends You,
4. Glory be to You, our Lord, the most High!
5. There is no creature or entity worthy of worship except for You, I
seek forgiveness from You and turn to You, I ask You O Lord for
goodness in this world, And goodness in the hereafter. I ask that You
protect us from the torment of the Fire./

Allah's infinite Greatness and Power

Allah created the order of the universe in superbdetail to allow man
to grasp His greatness. A verse referring to this order reads, "...so
that you might know that Allah has power over all things and that
Allah encompasses all things in His knowledge." (Surat at-Talaq: 12).
Faced with the sublimity of the details of this order, man becomes in
awe, recognizing that Allah's wisdom, knowledge and might is infinite.
So expansive is Allah's knowledge that what for us is "infinite" is in
His Sight already ended. Every event that has taken place since the
creation of time, until deep into eternity, was predetermined and
ended in Allah's Sight. (See Timelessness and The Reality of Fate, by
Harun Yahya) This is related in the Qur'an as follows:
We have created all things in due measure. Our command is only one
word, like the blinking of an eye. We destroyed those of your kind in
the past. But is there any rememberer there? Everything they did is in
the Books. Everything is recorded, big or small. (Surat al-Qamar:
49-53)
Man must seek to appreciate the extent of Allah's knowledge, and
reflect to comprehend His greatness.
Billions of people have appeared on Earth since time immemorial.
Therefore, Allah created billions of pairs of eyes, billions of
different fingerprints, billions of different eye tissues, billions of
different types of humans... If He so willed, He could also create
billions more. As stated in the Qur'an, "...He adds to Creation in any
way He wills. Allah has power over all things." (Surah Fatir: 1)
Allah also possesses the power to create many other things beyond our
limited imagination. Theentire extent of the treasures Allah has
bestowed in this world for His servants is all within His Sight. He
sends down to us only that which He wills, all within a measure
predetermined:
There is nothing that does not have its stores with Us and We only
send it down in a knownmeasure. (Surat al-Hijr: 21)
This matter, manifested everywhere in Allah's superb Creation, holds
true for both that which we know as well as that which we do not.
Allah states this fact in the verse, "...and He creates other things
you do not know." (Surat an-Nahl: 8), He creates many other things of
which we are entirely unaware.
Allah has created many worlds and beings which we cannot see. Tobetter
understand the possibility of the existence of other worlds, we should
consider the following: apicture is two dimensional-width and length.
The world in which we live, however, is 3 dimensional-width, length
and depth-(time can be considered as the4th dimension). The rest is
beyond our comprehension. However, in the sight of Allah, there are
other dimensions. Angels, for instance, are beings thatlive in another
dimension. In the Qur'anit is stated that angels can see and hear us
fromthe dimension and spacein which they exist. Furthermore, the two
angels, seated on our either shoulder, each, and at every moment, is
recording every word we speak and every deed we do. Yet, we do not see
them. Jinn are also beings of another dimension, as we are informed by
the Qur'an. They, like us human beings, are also tested, all through
their lives, and will ultimately be brought before judgment by Allah.
However, they are possessed of completely different attributes than
humans; their existence is dependent upon an entirely different system
of cause and effect.
These are all facts that deserve careful consideration in order to
attain a better grasp of Allah's splendid Creation. It is within
Allah's power to create innumerable new worlds, beings and situations.
Furthermore, each is He able to create with a limitless degree of
differentiation. Indeed, in a nature unknown to us, Allah will create
Paradise and Hell. While systems left totheir own in this world tend
to age, become corrupted, and eventually expire, in Paradise,
unaffected by the passage of time, nothing will deteriorate;"rivers of
milk whose taste will never change" is an example which states this
feature of Paradise. The human body too will not degenerate; nor will
anything ever age. As is related in the Qur'an, everyone in Paradise
will be of like age, will live together for all eternity, in the best
condition, and without growing older or losing their beauty. Allah
also informs us in the Qur'an that in it will be burstingsprings for
us from which to drink. Hell, on the other hand, will be utterly
different; in it, Allah will create unimaginable torment. No one will
be able to conceive the pain of such torment until he experiences it.
On everything in this world, Allah has placed alimit. Everything has a
finite existence. This being the case, in order to
comprehend"eternity," and Allah's infinite might, we need to exercise
our minds and compare these ideaswith something that is familiar. We
can only come to know to the extent that Allah permits us. Allah,
however, is infinite in knowledge. Let us consider the following
example, Allahhas created 7 basic colors. It is impossible for us to
visualize another color. (The case is similar to describing the color
red to someone who is blind bybirth; no description would be
adequate.) However, Allah is able to create more than these basic
colors. Although, unless He so wills, we will never be able to have a
grasp that which is beyond what He has willed for us to know.
All that we have just mentioned belongs to that knowledge that Allah
has allotted us in this world. But, one point deserves
particularattention; because Allah's power and might is infinite,
anything can happen, and at any time,by His will. Allah's Messenger,
the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) also
referred to the eternal power of Allah when he said, "The seven
heavens and the seven Earths are no more in Allah's Hand than a
mustard seed in the hand of one of you." Allah explains the
infiniteness of His knowledge in the Qur'anas follows:
If all the trees on Earth were pens and all the sea, with seven more
seas besides, was ink Allah's words still would not run dry. Allah is
Almighty, All-Wise. (Surah Luqman: 27)
In brief, no matter how hard we strive to do so, we cannot possibly
cometo grasp the extent of Allah's knowledge, because it is unlimited.
We can comprehend it only as far as Allah permits us to do so:
Allah, there is no god butHim, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is
notsubject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the
Earth belongs to Him. Who canintercede with Him except by His
permission? He knows what is before them andwhat is behind them
butthey cannot grasp any ofHis knowledge save what He wills. His
Footstool encompasses the heavens and the Earth and their preservation
does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Surat
al-Baqara: 255)

The Aim Is To Attain The Good Pleasure Of Allah

Say: "I am commanded to worship Allah, makingmy religion sincerely
His." (Surat az-Zumar: 11)
Once having grasped theextent of Allah's infinite might, to forget His
existence and remain heedless is merely to delude oneself. What Allah
demands from human beings is that they seek to earn His good pleasure
as their sole priority in life.
Since it is Allah Who created man, provided him his sustenance and all
other such blessings, and Who promised him eternal life in the , it
would be an act of ingratitude for man to seek the pleasure of others,
or the gratification of his own self, as his primary aim. The
punishment for suchungratefulness is eternalhellfire.
There are two choices a man can make; he can either found his life on
Allah's good pleasure, and thus earn the reward of His Paradise, or
choose the path that leads to Hell. A third option is not available
for him. This is clearly expressed in the following verse:
Who is better: someone who founds his building on fear of Allah and
His good pleasure, or someone who founds hisbuilding on the brink of a
crumbling precipice so that it collapses with himinto the Fire of
Hell? Allah does not love wrongdoers. (Surat at-Tawba: 109)
Those values praised in the Qur'an are those founded on purely that
which achieves Allah's pleasure. For example, self-sacrifice, which is
pleasing to Allah, is valid only if the person does not expect
anything for it in return, but rather only to attain Allah's good
pleasure. It is related in the Qur'an that believers conduct
themselves correctly onlyto seek Allah's countenance:
They give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans and
captives: "We feed you only out of desire for theFace of Allah. We do
not want any repayment from you or any thanks."(Surat al-Insan: 8-9)
Allah's Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant
him peace) also stated in a hadith that Allah's Pleasure must always
be held above man's pleasure:
Whoever seeks Allah's Pleasure at the expense of men's displeasure,
will win Allah's Pleasure and Allah will cause men to be pleased with
him. And whoever seeks to please men at the expense of Allah's
Displeasure, will win the Displeasure of Allah and Allah will cause
men to be displeased with him. (narrated by Ibn Hibban in his Saheeh)
The greatest honor and gratification man can ever attain is Allah's
good pleasure. Allah makes His servants pleased with Him through the
multitude ofblessings He bestows on them. In a verse of the Qur'an,
the reward for believers who are pleased with Allah, and with whom
Allah is pleased, is related as follows:
Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. Allah is
pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. That is for those who
fear their Lord. (Surat al-Bayyina: 8)
Allah's good pleasure is not only earned solely byperforming certain
acts of worship at definite times. Allah's good pleasure is also
earned by conducting oneself correctly throughout one's lifetime. The
following verse informs us that a believer's entire life must be
oriented towards a single goal:
Say: "My prayer and my rites, my living and my dying, are for Allah
alone, the Lord of all the worlds." (Surat al-An'am:162)

Dubai City

Story - Novel The Fever - CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 2
I was confident.
On my daily walk to workthis morning, I was sure of every step I was
taking. I was going to better my life as well as my family's. For the
first time in my life, I couldn't wait to get to work.
The man in the hooded sweatshirt on the other side of the street was
stillthere, sucking on his cigarette. I couldn't see his eyes, but I
knew he was watching my every step, and almost laughing as if I had
been defeated. But I was on the high of my career and was confused at
the look on his face. Oh well, maybe he was about to see a new me.
After today I may become a whole new person.
I soon arrived at the entrance of the large factory and inhaled the
fumes before I even walked through the door. I walked through the
crowded lobby and into the lock room.
I found my locker and twisted the dial a few times before the door
basically fell into my hands. The rusty surface was old and needed to
be repaired, as did every other locker in the room. I hung my coat and
hat on the hooks and grabbed my gloves and goggles and headed for the
foundry.
The sudden tile floors in the lock room changed tothe hard, cracked
concrete, reminding me of the hellish place I worked in day after day.
Suddenly my brimming confidence was nearly gone. The environment
quickly swayed the mood. I punched my number into a nearby machine on
the wall and pulled the lever as it spat out a receipt informing me
that I was now on theclock. I quickly moved towards my station.
John was already there, clocked in and hard at work. John, my best
friend and partner at my work station, was a middle-aged,
black-haired, beast of a man. He also had two kids and a wife at home,
and could support them about as well as I could support my family. We
were both making very minimal, actually below minimal, pay per hour.
But at least it was a job, something a lot of peoplecouldn't say they
had.
As I slouched closer, I sawthat he was shining as much confidence as I hadbeen.
"Guess what," he whispered at me when I was close enough to hearover
the thundering noise. His toothy smile was widespread across his face.
"What?"
"I'm going to ask for a raise today. I've been here over a year. I
can't wait for a bigger paycheck."
"Hey, I was going to ask today too!"
"Nuh-uh!?"
"Yeah-huh!"
The smiles on each of ourfaces grew. We were teammates and we even
thought alike - more like brothers. We concluded that we were going to
goand talk to the corporate manager over our lunch break.
Lunch couldn't come soon enough. The warning bell rang and we went
over to the machine to type in our numbers and pull the lever. We
added the receipts to the growing number of papers in our pockets and
quickly wentback into the locker room. We quickly washedour hands and
faces to look somewhat presentable to our boss. Hurriedly, we walked
outof the lock room and back into the hallways and eventually the
lobby.
Every person who worked here knew where the manager's office was and
shuddered at the mention of it. It was the only staircase in the
building that was carpeted. Our confidence suddenly left us as I
gulped and let John lead us up the stairs. The intimidating narrow
hallway and stairway seemed to go on forever.
Once at the top of the staircase, we were completely amazed at what
was present before us. Wood paneled flooring covered the entire area
and every item, every rug, every picture frame, every lightfixture and
lamp, was somehow trimmed in gold. Gold plates and platters were
aligned in bookshelves along the walls. Two solid doors with golden
doorknobs and elegant design were at the far side of the room, guarded
by a brute of a man in a grey suit that looked dull and boring
compared to the rest of the room. But his intimidation spread as we
both noticed at the same time the tip of a silencer on the muzzle of a
Colt .44 magnum that showed its outline in the holster inside the suit
jacket.
We both took another moment and awed at oursurroundings before taking
a step too close to the door. The guard stepped in front of us.
"Does the manager have a minute?" I asked.
"Yes."
We started to walk past the guard when he put his hand over both the
doorknobs. "One at a time!" he hissed.
"You can go first," I said to John after we had both stared at each
otherfor a few seconds. I took a step back and the guard opened the
door for John, who had suddenly lost all color in his face. They
walked in and the guard slowly moved the doors to their original
position, almost. He did not close them all the way and left a crack,
one that I decided I was going to watch the interview through and
maybe take some mental notes on what to do, since I couldn't bring
myself to sit on the gold trimmed, red clothed chairs along the wall.
The office was much like the waiting room outside, but even more
significant and magnificent in many ways. The floor was covered with
one large polar bear skin and manyother animal trophies were attached
all over the walls. Nearly everything was gold and deep cherry wood.
And made the room I was in look like a little kid's room. John was
sitting on a chair inside similar to the one I wouldn't sit in while
in the waiting room.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT!" the manager asked. Everything he seemed to do he
felt as if he had to do it in a fast matter and yelled at everyone no
matter the circumstances."MAKE THIS QUICK SO YOU CAN GET YOUR GRUBBY
SLIME OUT OF MY GOLD CHAIR!"
A knot formed in my stomach. This was going to be harder than
originally intended.
"Well sir, you see I've been working here for over a year now, and I
was wondering if I could get a small raise and at least get bumped up
to the federal minimum wage standard." He was intimidated and showed
it in almost every aspect.
"YOU WANT MY MONEY?" the boss questioned, insulted.
"A very small raise would suffice. I'm having a hardtime supporting-"
"We'll take care of your money...issue," the boss acknowledged,
suddenly calm. Tension heightenedin the air as the brief silence was
interrupted by a red explosion of syrupy liquid from the side of
John's head. A brief moment later he fellover in the chair and his
head, thudded against the ground. A puddle of red started collecting
on the pure white of the polar bear fur, tainting its innocence. I
felt sick, but continued to look through the crack and adjusted my
view to see the silenced Colt still in the air, smoke coming from the
muzzle. "THEY ARE ALL SCUM. NOBODY WILL MISS HIM. IT'S TOO BAD ABOUT
THE FUR THOUGH, I REALLY LIKED THAT ONE."
"I can order another one," the guard replied as the manager took out a
cigar and started chewing on the end.
"YES, DO THAT RIGHT AWAY."
"Should I bring the other guy in after I clean this up?"
"THERE WERE TWO OF THEM?"
"Yeah, the other one is waiting outside the door."
"SHIT!"
And that's when I bolted back for the stairs. Soon after I took off
the door crashed open behind me.I didn't even turn aroundas I heard
three bullets whiz past my head. I didn't stop when I got to the
bottom of the stairs. Ididn't even go to my locker. For awhile it
sounded as if the thudding was right behind me, but I figured after
awhile that it was the pounding of my heart and the thudding inside my
ears. Even so, I didn't stop running.
Once I was past the jewelry store, I stopped to catch my breath and
check to see if they were still in pursuit. They weren't, and I was
thankful. The coolness of the winter day finally gotto me and I
shivered from the sudden cold that engulfed me. Something across the
street caught my eye. I turned only to find the man with the
sweatshirt, still sucking on a cigarette. But this time he had a
different smile upon his face, one that gave an "I told you so"
attitude. I stared at him for a few moments, and then moved on, my
head racing with thoughts. It bugged me immensely that I could not see
his eyes.
I continued walking home at a hurried rate and recalled everything
that had just happened. I had just sent my best andonly friend to his
death and almost killed myself in the process. It could have been me
taking thatbullet and crumpling intothe jaw of the polar bear.I
instantly was sick at the thought and it took all my strength to keep
fromthrowing up all the way home, the scene replaying in my head time
after time.
Soon I was home and I ran to Jennifer. Her head snapped up, surprised
as I threw the door open. I started rambling twenty words a second as
soon as I saw her, but she shushed me and got me aglass of water and a
towel and began to wipethe sweat and dirt off of my face. I attempted
to calm down and started toplay back the day's happenings to her. As
soon as I had finished, it was like staring at a ghost. She was whiter
than Chicago snowflakes.
"And then I ran home."
"Paul, oh my god, what are we going to do now?"
"I don't know, but I can't go back or they will kill me too! And we
can't stayhere more than a day or two."
Jennifer grabbed the newspaper after a few moments of silence to try
to take her mind off of the day's occurrences. After a few moments
reading, she threw the paper down and grabbed her head as she ran off
towards her room. I sat at the table and scanned the paper asI sipped
my glass of water. Eventually she came back and leaned against the
entryway into the kitchen, arms crossed. Something was different about
her. At first I couldn't put my finger on what it was, but, that was
the answer,her finger.
"Hey Jen, where's your wedding band and engagement ring?"
The color that had just started coming back to her face suddenly left
again. "Some guy came in and threatened the twins and me with a knife
today," she choked out. "He told me to give them to me or he would cut
off the kids fingers then mine and take the rings with it."
I paused, sickened by the thought. "Did you see what he looked like?"
"He had a mask."
"Did you report it?"
"Why? The police won't come to this part of Chicago or do anything
about it anyways. You know that better than I do."
I silenced my next thought, stunned. That was where the conversation
ended. She looked away and I grabbed the paper and looked at the
comics and crossword.
The night went almost exactly the same as the night before. The kids
cried and screamed, the soup was bland, and the puddle on the floor
grewever bigger. I went to bed tonight and Jennifer was already lying
there, asleep. Her pillow was slightly wet from crying herself to
sleep. I slowly and carefully crawled in, trying not to wake her.
I simply lay in bed, staring at the discoloration starting on the
bedroom ceiling for hours upon hours. My best friend had been murdered
and I had narrowly avoided death. My family was in danger. We had
little food, little supplies, and no money. Ipromised myself right
then and there that this would all change. We could not continue to
livelike this. I only had one card left to play, and it was a long
shot, but it was the only choice I hadleft. I had to protect at least
my family if not myself at all costs.
Tomorrow, I told myself, was time to pay "Uncle Jack" a visit.

Al-`Izz Ibn `Abdus-Salaam - *-Visit -http://aydnajimudeen.blogspot.com/- [ Usefull Islamic & General Articles ]

Al-`Izz Ibn `Abdus-Salaam was one of the most famous characters of the
seventh Hijri century (13th century. AD). He was a learned scholar
with deep knowledge of Islamic sciences such as Jurisprudence and
Prophetic narrations. He was alsoa great writer who authored valuable
books. These were not the only reasons which caused people to love him
and respect him. People loved him because helived for them, teaching
them their religious affairs, eradicating innovations in religion and
superstitions, advising the rulers,performing Jihaad in the
battlefields in the cause of Allaah and confronting injustice and
tyranny.
A Genius in His Childhood
`Abdul-'Azeez Ibn `Abdus-Salaam known as Al-`Izz, was born in Damascus
in 577 A.H., 1181 A.C. He spent his early years in Damascus where he
acquired knowledge. At that time there were classes of knowledge
everywhere in Damascus whetherin mosques or schools. Al-`Izz was a
little bit behind his colleagues in acquiring knowledge but he
succeeded in compensating for the knowledgehe missed through being
studious in class and studying hislessons with a strong will and
ardent desire. His intelligence anddeep understanding helped him
master jurisprudence, interpretation of the Quran, Quran sciences,
Prophetic narrations, Arabic language, literature, grammar, and
rhetoric.
After finishing his study, he started to teach in his house, Damascus
mosques, and state-funded schools. The young teacher managed to have a
large number of students who liked him because of his deep knowledge,
mastery of his subjects, excellence in explaining the lessons, and his
sense of humour as he used to mention some anecdotes that alleviated
the toughness of the lessons and eliminated boredom. Following this
methodology, many studentsjoined his classes and liked him.
The Preacher of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus
Al-`Izz Ibn `Abdus-Salaam was an excellent preacher who influenced his
listeners through his sincere emotion, deep knowledge, smooth style,
and clear ideas.
These qualifications made him the preacher of the Umayyad Mosque in
Damascus. His Friday speeches were excellent lectures in which people
learnt about the teachings of their religion, the issues that may be
of concern to them and how to tackle the problems they faced in their
dailylives which he (i.e. Al-'Izz) solved. Al-`Izz Ibn `Abdus-Salaam
was famous for his steadfastnessand he never remained silent when he
saw falsehood or injustice especially on issues that may affect the
Islamic community or the territory in which he lived. If he knew about
certain encroachments or violations, he would immediately pinpoint
them out and display the Islamic perspective towards them. This
attitude caused some problems for him, but he did not care as long as
he fulfilled his Islamic duty.
In one of his Friday speeches, he stated a legal opinion [Fatwa] that
prohibited selling weapons to the Crusaders who were still occupying
some territories in Levant. He adopted this opinion especially after
he came to know that the Crusaders used these weapons in fighting the
Muslims.
He also came to know that the Sultan of Damascus, As-Saalih Ismaa`eel,
allowed some Crusaders to enter Damascus in order to buy weapons from
the Muslim merchants.
That Friday speech had a great effect on the people who talked about
it and admired it, except for the Sultan and his retinues. The Sultan
deposed him from thejob of delivering Friday speeches or issuing Fatwa
(legal Islamic opinions) and even imprisoned him. However, he released
him shortly afterwards because he was afraid of the people's anger and
revolution. However, the Sultan issued a mandatory decreethat Al-`Izz
should not leave his house.
His Departure to Cairo
Al-`Izz Ibn `Abdus-Salaam was fed up because of the isolation imposed
on him and because he was prohibited from giving religious speeches
and delivering Fatwa. He felt that the value of a man is based on his
ability to benefit others, and that his own value was to mix with
people, teach them, deliver Fatwaand Friday speeches. Therefore, he
decided to leave for Cairo. He refused to ask for the Sultan's
forgiveness so that the latter would be pleased with him.
The Shaykh arrived in Cairo in 639 A.H., 1241 A.C. The Sultan of
Egypt,As-Saalih Ayyoob, received him whole-heartedly. The Sultan
immediately asked him to give Friday speeches in `Amr Ibn Al-`Aas
Mosque. He also appointed him as the Chief Judge and supervisor on
re-populating desolate mosques in Egypt. His job is close to what is
known nowadays as Minister of Awqaf (Endowments) and Islamic
affairs.m) Sells the Princes:
The revered Shaykh agreed to be the Chief Judge so as to defend the
people's rights and protect them from oppressors and people in power.
The Shaykh discovered that most of the princes, upon whom As-Saalih
Ayyoob relied, were still slaves. He saw that as long as these princes
were not free, it was not valid to designate them to take care of
administering the country's affairs. The courageous Shaykh immediately
told them his opinion. He invalidated their business transactions such
as buying, selling and other actions that only free people did. The
princes' interests were paralyzed and among these princes was
thedeputy of the Sultan.
The princes tried to negotiate with Al-`Izz Ibn `Abdus-Salaam so that
he would abrogate Fatwa [his Islamic legal opinion] that they should
be sold and their prices would be deposited in the Muslims' Treasury
House. The Shaykh refused their negotiations and exhortation. As it
was a difficult situation for the slave princes, they refused to
adhere to the legal opinion of theShaykh and they referred the whole
affair to the Sultan, As-Saalih Ayyoob. The Sultan asked the Shaykh to
abandon his opinion, but the Shaykh refused. The Sultan spoke in a
tough way to the Shaykh who left the meeting with the intention of
resigning from his position.
The Auction of Selling the Princes:
When the news of the Shaykh's resignation spread and that he had
decided to leave Cairo, people followed him and appealed to his
return. At the same time, the Sultan realized that he had made a
mistake and he also followed the Shaykh in order to grant him whatever
he wished. The Sultan convinced himto return, and the Shaykh agreed
but he stipulated that the princesmust be sold.
It was an extremely impressive scene when Al-`Izz Ibn `Abdus-Salaam
started to sell the princes one after another and askfor more money in
return for them. The Sultan paid their pricesout of his own money to
the courageous Shaykh who deposited their price in the Muslims'
Treasury House. This rare incident was the reason for calling Al-`Izz
Ibn `Abdus-Salaam "the Seller of Kings".
Princes First in Paying Taxes
The Shaykh stayed in Cairo until the Sultan Sayfud-Deen Qutuz assumed
power in 657 A.H., 1258 A.C.
During his reign, the Tartars sent some messengers to Cairo askingfor
an unconditional surrender. The Tartars were at the entrancesof Egypt
after they had controlledthe whole eastern Muslim world. The Sultan of
Egypt refused and insisted on defense and resistance. Al-`Izz Ibn
`Abdus-Salaam was the one behind the Sultan having such an opinionand
he mobilized the people to go out for Jihaad.
The Sultan needed money to spend on the preparations for the battle.
He tried to impose new taxes on the people but Al-`Izz Ibn
`Abdus-Salaam opposed this move, and said to him: "Before you impose
more taxes on the people, you and the princes must first return all
your money to the Muslims' Treasury House. If this money is not
sufficient to prepare for the battle, then you could impose more taxes
on the people."
The Sultan accepted the opinion of Al-`Izz Ibn `Abdus-Salaam and acted
accordingly. The Muslims marched out to encounter the Tartars and they
defeated them in the battle of `Ayn Jaaloot.
Books by the Shaykh and his Scientific Achievements:
Al-`Izz Ibn `Abdus-Salaam was a multi-talented scholar in the fields
of giving Fatwa, delivering Friday speeches, actingas a judge, and
teaching. He wrote many books on the interpretation of the Quran,
Prophetic narrations, jurisprudence, principles of jurisprudence and
the Prophet's Biography. Among his most famous books are Principles of
Rulings and "The Utmost Goal in Abridging the End". Both books cover
the As-Shaafi'ee Juristic School. He also wrote "An Abridged Version
of Saheeh Muslim", "The Beginning in GivingPreference to the Prophet"
and"The Interpretation of the Quran".
The Character of Al-`Izz Ibn `Abdus-Salaam ( (
Al-`Izz Ibn `Abdus-Salaam was a true scholar who knew that the role of
a scholar is not restricted to giving classes, delivering Friday
speeches, and teaching students. He was a reformer who used to guide
people to what is right and would correct their mistakes even if they
were committed by aprince or the Sultan himself. As he had a strong
will and his soul was filled with love for Allaah, there was no room
in his soul to fear the Sultan or those in authority. He never feared
anyone, except Allaah. When a person fears Allaah, people respect him
and hold him in high esteem.
The Shaykh lived to reform the lives of people. He occupied a dear
place in their hearts and he loved the people who, in turn, loved him.
His Death
The revered Shaykh lived for eighty three years full of serving Islam,
correcting mistakes with his tongue and pen and fighting the Crusaders
until he died on the10th of Jumaadaa Al-Awwal 660 A.H., the 2nd of
March 1261 A.C.

Waste not excessively

Have you ever gotten upset whenyou weren't able to buy something that
you really wanted? Or, have you ever bought something that you
couldhave done without?
The answer to these two questions is yes, an unequivocal yes. It is
pat of our human nature. We want and we desire constantly. When we
allow this to go unchecked our desire for more becomes insatiable and
overtakes the dictates of our souls.
Any kind of addiction or extreme act emanates from our desire. Satan
ever whispers to our Nafs (self) to go after our desires. He
encourages us to be greedy and to overindulge ourselves. In this way
we become slaves to our desires instead of in control of them. One
enslaved to his desirescannot freely and truly worship his Lord. It is
a matter of our Eemaan (faith) that we hold ourselves back from
wasteful spending.
If we find difficulty parting with our money in times of charity, then
we know we have become victims of over-consumption, or excessive
spending. The Prophet, , said: "Cursed is the slave of gold and
silver." [Al-Bukhaari] When we allow ourselves to lust after money,
then we know the shackles have tightened.
Money and power are always aligned. Like sirens they call out to our
desires. Today, the media is their infamous recruiter. It constantly
throws in our faces more things to desire and to get and to admire.
This only leads to further blinding ourselves from our purpose in
life, which is to worship Allaah. Allaah Almighty warns us by saying
(what means): "Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you (from the
more serious things)." [Quran 102:1]
We must remind ourselves that worldly desires are mere illusions,
transitory pleasures, that Allaah is testing us with. Allaah Almighty
warns us of this by saying (what means): "Know that the life of this
world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one
another and competition in increase of wealth and children – like the
example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers;
then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes
[scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and
forgiveness from Allaah and approval. And what is the worldly life
except the enjoyment of delusion." [Quran 57:20]
Guard yourself from greed
As consumers we must be mindful of Allaah and thank Him for blessing
us with the financial ability to purchase the things we need.
Remembering Allaah when shopping will help us humble ourhearts and be
grateful for all thathe has already given us. This can help prevent us
from becoming upset when we are unable to buysomething we want.
We must also seek to instill in spending habits of the Islamic
practice of moderation. I cannot stress enough the importance of the
Prophet Muhammad's injunction to the Muslim Ummah: "Eat, drink, spend,
and dress without extravagance or arrogance." [Al-Bukhaari]
We must strive for a balance between the extremes of spending too much
(Israaf) and being stingy. The righteous are "those who, when they
spend, doso not excessively or sparingly but are ever, between that,
[justly] moderate." [Quran 25:67]
This verse encourages moderation and balance in our spending. Instead
of succumbing to our habits of spending on ourselves, we ought to give
morethan we take. When we give for the sole purpose of pleasing Allaah
we purify our souls. The Prophet, , was the most generous of men and
gave the majority of his belongings away. The Prophet, , understood
what was real and what was passing: He valued his humility, the
afterlife, and his connection to Allaah over worldly pleasures.
When we become entangled in the superficial, our materialistic values
will override our spiritual connection to our Lord. We must guard
ourselves against this and instead spend our resources and time so
that we may increase ourspiritual wealth. This is the struggle against
the Nafs which our beloved Prophet Muhammad always emphasized.
Striver for good deeds that will multiply themselves rather than hoard
worldly goods that will perish into the earth and becomedust. -

The significance of obedience to parents

Islam builds a family in which prevails mutual respect and care.
Parents and children in Islam are bound together by mutual obligations
and reciprocal arrangements. Allaah Says (what means): "…No mother
should be harmed through her child, and no father through his child…"
[Quran 2: 233]
The Quran has made it compulsory for the child to treat his parents
with all goodness and mercy.
Every Muslim must show goodness and mercy to his parents throughout
their lives. There is only one exception to this, and that is, if the
parents ask their children to associate anything with Allaah and to
commit sins, then the children must not obey their parents. In all
cases, the children must show love and gratitude to their parents.
They must always speak to them gently and respectfully. They must try
their best to make them happy, provided they do not disobey Allaah in
the process.
Allaah says (what means): "But if they (both) strive with you to make
you join in worship with me others of which you have no knowledge,
then obey them not; but behave with them in the world kindly…" [Quran
31:15]
Being patient and tolerant with parents:
The children must take great care not to react to what their parents
have to say. If they say or do anything which is not liked or approved
of by the children, then they must show patience and tolerance instead
of giving vent to their anger. The children must scrupulously try to
refrain from disobeying their parents since the Prophet regarded this
as one of the grave sins.
Supplicating for them:
Far from showing signs of displeasure, the children must pray for them
saying, as Allaah teaches us in the verse (which means): "…My Lord and
Sustainer! Be kind and have mercy on them as they cherished,nurtured
and sustained me in childhood." [Quran 17: 24]
We must continue praying for them even after they die. Such prayer
will be regarded as a continuous charity asthe Prophet, sallallaahu
alayhi wa salllam, told us.
The greater right of the mother:
The children must be kinder and more gratefulto their mothers since
they took greater pains in their upbringing. That is why the Prophet
emphasized that it is the mother who has the first claim on the
child's care and attention.
Once a companion asked the Prophet as to whom he should showmore
kindness. The Prophet replied: "Your mother." He asked who comes next
and the Prophet again replied: "Your mother." He asked the Prophet yet
again who comes next. The Prophet replied: "Your mother." When the
companion asked for the fourth time, only then did the Prophet reply:
"Your father."
Recognizing their great status:
The Muslim should recognize the status of the parent and know his
duties towards them. Thestatus of parents in Islam is a status which
mankind had not known before. Allaah Has placed the respect for the
parents just one step below the belief in Allaahand true worship of
Him.
Allaah says (what means): " And your Lord has decreed that you not
worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or
both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much
as],"uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word."
[Quran 17: 23]
The Prophet placed kindness and respect towards parents just after the
prayer offered on time as the prayer is the foundation of Islam.
'Abdullaah Ibn Mas'ood said: "I asked the Prophet which deed is most
liked by Allaah? He said: ' Prayer offered on time.' I asked him:
'Then what? He said: ' Kindnessand respect towards parents.'…"
[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Knowing the duties towards them:
It is also the duty of the child to provide for his parents, if he is
able to do so. The Quran sums upthe whole matter in a master concept
called Ihsaan, which denotes what is right, good and beautiful (i.e.
showing tothem kindness, compassion, gratitude, reverence and respect,
praying for them and supporting them financially if they are in need.)
Concluding, we mention a verse that shows the significance of
obedienceand gratitude due to parents: Allaah says (what means): " And
We haveenjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried
him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in
two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final]
destination." [Quran 31:14]

Ruling on eating sweets that contain gelatin and carmine.

Today it is quite often hard to find for example candy that is halaal
for us to eat. Especially here in the western countries،a lot of the
candy contains gelatine. But there is also another substance that is
used to make the candy get the colour they have، and it is called
carmine، which is the red colour (which they use in candy and more)and
they get it from female lice.
Some moslims are not aware of this and I would appreciate if you could
explain if this is allowed for us to eat or not?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Some types of gelatin are of vegetable origin, and there is nothing
wrong with using this oreating foods that contain it.
Some types of gelatin are of animal origin, andthis is subject to
further discussion. Whatever thecase, there is nothing wrong with
eating foodsthat contain it because even if it comes from animals that
have not been slaughtered properly or other haraam sources, it has
been transformed into another substance that has different
characteristics.
See the answer to question no. 97541 .
Secondly:
We have not been able to find out whether what you say is true about
carmine and its being derived from female ants. If we assume that it
is indeed the case, if the sweet is not harmful then there isnothing
wrong with eating it, because of what was mentioned above about the
haraamsubstance being transformed into a different substance.
With regard to lice, there is a difference of opinion as to whether
they are naajis. Some of the fuqaha' say that theyare naajis (impure)
because they contain blood and their food is blood. Some of them say
that they are taahir (pure) because they are likened to flies. But
there is consensus that itis haraam to eat them.
Al-Duraymi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:It is haraam to eat lice
according to consensus. End quote from Hayaat al-Haywaan al-Kubra,
2/118.
It is haraam to eat lice just as it is haraam to eatmaytah (meat that
was not slaughtered properly) or drink alcohol. But if they have been
turned into another substance by means of some treatment, then there
is nothing wrong with eating that substance, asexplained above.
It should be noted that the basic principle with regard to these foods
and drinks is that they are permissible, because it cannot be said
that any of them are haraam on the basis of speculation. Similarly it
cannot be said that mostof the sweets contain gelatin, because this is
contrary to reality. If a person wants to avoid things containing
gelatin or carmine, he will find plenty of other alternatives in other
types of sweets.
And Allah knows best.

Ruling on eating duck and pigeon.

I am not sure if i can eat meat as a duck OR pigeon. are they Halal.
Praise be to Allaah.
The basic principle with regard to food and drinkis that it is
permissible unless there is proof thatit is haraam. Allah says
(interpretation of the meaning): "He it is Who created for you all
that ison earth" [al-Baqarah 2:29].
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbaas said: The people of the Jaahiliyyah
used to eat some things and refrain from others because they found
them off-putting. Then Allah, may He be exalted,sent His Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), revealed His Book, and
explained what is permissible and what is forbidden. Whatever
theQur'aan has permitted is permissible and whatever it has forbidden
is forbidden, and whatever it does not mention is pardoned. Then he
recited: "Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): I find not in that
which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten byone who
wishes to eat it, unless…" [al-An'aam 6:145] until the end of the
verse.
Narrated by Abu Dawood (3306); classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani
(may Allah have mercy on him).
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The second
type is that concerning which no prohibition was narrated; it is
permissible, but on condition that it be slaughtered properly, such as
duck and waterfowl.
End quote from Fath al-Baari.
With regard to ducks and pigeons, there is no evidence to suggest that
it is haraam to eat them, so we go back to the original principle,
whichis that they are permissible. In fact the permissibility of
eating pigeons can be seen in the fact that the Sahaabah (may Allah be
pleased with them) ruled that if a muhrim (pilgrim in ihram) hunted
the pigeons of the Haram (sanctuary), the expiation for that is a
sheep, which indicates that it is permissible to eat them (i.e.,
pigeons -- the prohibition is on hunting when in ihram and within the
boundaries of the Haram).
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Similar rulingswere
made by 'Umar, 'Uthmaan, Ibn 'Umar, Ibn'Abbaas and Naafi' ibn 'Abd
al-Haarith…
End quote from al-Mughni, 3/247
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:Our companions are
unanimously agreed that it is permissible to eat ostriches, chickens…
ducks, sand grouse, sparrows, larks, francolin and pigeons…
End quote from Sharh al-Muhadhdhab, 7/22
He also said: Whatever lives in the water and onland, including
waterfowl such as ducks,geese and so in, is halaalas stated above, but
if any of these dies of natural causes (i.e., is not slaughtered in
the proper manner) it is not halaal, and there is no difference of
scholarly opinion on this point. Rather it is essential that it be
slaughtered properly.
End quote from Sharh al-Muhadhdhab, 9/35
And Allah knows best.

Food & Nourishment -, Ruling on eating fishthat fed on dead animalsin artificial ponds.,Dought - clear - ,

Is it permissible to eat fishes that is feed from dead animals eg dead
chickens or najaza in artificial pond.
Praise be to Allaah.
If most of the food that was given to the fish was taahir (pure), it
is permissible to eat the fish and there is nothingwrong with that.
But if most of it was from najis (impure) carcasses (i.e., the fish
are what the scholars call jallaalah or animals that feed on filth),
then it is not permissible to eat the fish until they have been
prevented from eating impurities for three days or more, and have been
fed with food that is pure so that their flesh will become good.
It says in Kashshaaf al-Qinaa' (6/193): Jallaalah – which refers to
animals most of whose food is najis – is haraam, as is its milk,
because of the report narrated by Ibn 'Umar who said: The Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade eating jallaalah or
(drinking) its milk. Narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood and at-Tirmidhi who
said: (it is) hasan ghareeb. It was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
al-Irwaa', 2503…
… (it is haraam) until it has been kept for three days and nights,
becauseif Ibn 'Umar wanted to eat (such an animal), he would keep it
for three days and feed it with pure food, and prevent it from eating
impure food, whether it was a bird or animal, because the factor that
was preventing it from beinghalaal would be removed thereby. End
quote.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: The milkof the jallaalah that
feeds on impure things was forbidden by the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him), but if it is kept until it becomes pure,
then it becomes halaal according to Muslim consensus, because before
that the traces of impurity would appear in its milk, eggs and sweat,
and the stench and foulness of the impurity would become apparent. But
once that disappeared it would become pure. If the ruling applies
because ofa reason, it ceases to apply when that reason disappears.
End quote from Majmoo'al-Fataawa, 21/618.
The Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas was asked: They feed
chickens with various kinds of food, among which is ground meat of
animals that died without being slaughtered properly, and meat from
pigs. Are the chicken that are fed with this meat halaal or haraam? If
they are haraam, what is the ruling on their eggs?
They replied: If what is said about their feed is correct, then there
is a difference of opinion among the scholars withregard to eating
their flesh and eggs. Maalik and a number of others said that eating
their flesh and eggs is permissible, because the impure feed becomes
pure when it is transformed into flesh and eggs (i.e., istihaalah).
But a number of scholars, including ath-Thawri, ash-Shaafa'i and Ahmad
are of the view that it is haraam to eat their fleshand eggs, or to
drink themilk (of animals to which the same criteria apply), unless
they were fed with pure feed after that for three days or more, in
which case it becomes permissible to eat the (meat), eggs and milk.
And it was said thatif most of their feed is impure, then they are
classed as jallaalah and cannot be eaten, but if most of their feed is
pure, then they may be eaten. A number of scholars said that it is
haraam, because of the report narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood,
an-Nasaa'i, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah from Ibn'Umar, according to
which the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) forbade eating jallaalah or (drinking) their milk.
Jallaalah refers to any animal that eats filth andother kinds of
impurities. But the most correct view is that which says that it
depends, which is the second view quoted above.
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 23/377
If it is clear that eating these fish – even if they have been kept
(away from impurities) for three days or more – willcause harm, it is
not permissible to eat them, because Allah, may He beexalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning): "and do not throw yourselves into
destruction" [al-Baqarah2:195]. And the Prophet (blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him) said: "There should be no causing harm or
reciprocating harm." Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 2431; classed as saheeh
by al-Albaani in Irwa' al-Ghaleel, 896
And Allah knows best.

Are you ready for your turn?,Islamic Stories - ,

He was a student, probably in his early twenties. I didn't know his
name--I really didn't care. All I know is he wasgoing for a lay-up
while playing basketball, lost his balance and fell on the
ground--flat on his back.
We thought he would shake it off and continuethe game--so no one
really cared. To everyone's surprise, he never got up. At first a few
people on his team (later everyone) went upto him but he just wouldn't
reply.
CPR did no good. The ambulance personnel couldn't save him from dying.
The result at the ER was no better. HE WASDEAD!
As I came home tonight, I thought to myself, it could have been me
going up for that lay-up.It is very possible that I could be laying in
the cold city morgue, right this minute, as I type thise-mail.
Am I ready to die? Did I communicate with Allah today? Did I perform
my daily prayers? Did I seek the pleasure of Allah?
Did I treat my parents and family with respect and love? Did I give
any at all in charity (sadaqa) today? How many times did I remember
Allah and recount His name?
The entire day I made time to go to school, check my e-mail, read the
news, chat with friends, watch TV, play basketball.......but did I
even once say"Astagfirullah"? Did I ask Allah to forgive the sins that
I've committed today? NO! Not once.
Did I say "Alhamdulillah" other than in my daily prayers? NO! Not once
my friends. Would you like to know why? Because I was too caught up
with myself and my daily activities.
Well, guess what. I could have lost my life during a lay-up in a
basketball game and what do I have with me? Not a thing. Nothing that
I did today do I get to bring with me to the grave. Nothing.
A few words that I could have uttered were the only things that I
could have brought with me. Afew words that would'vetaken a few
seconds of concentration out of the 24 hrs. that was allotted to me.
A few cents in charity instead of cold drinks and candy bars could
have saved my soul. But Iinsisted to continue withmy careless
attitude. Thank God it wasn't my turn to go, because I sure wasn't
ready.
Now I close my eyes and say Alhamdulillah. Now I look back and say
Astagfirullah. Now I havea different attitude. Now, I want to prepare
for my turn.
Did you perform your prayers today? Did you give in charity and love?
Did you ask for forgiveness yet? Do you care? I'm asking becauseI
don't want to see you fall, knowing you aren't ready for your turn.
Are you ready for your turn?
May the Peace and Mercyof Allah be upon us all.

I'd like to be the strongest of men
If you put your trust in Allah, you will be the strongest of men
I'd like for Allah to enlarge my provision
If you keep yourself pure, Allah will enlarge your provision
I'd like to be loved by Allah and His Messenger
If you love what Allah and His messenger love, you will be among their
beloved ones
I wish to be safe from Allah's wrath on the day of Judgment
If you do not lose your temper with any of your fellow creatures you
willbe safe from the wrath of Allah on the day of judgment
I'd like my prayers to be responded
If you avoid forbidden actions your prayers will be responded
I'd like Allah not to disgrace me on the Day of Judgment
If you guard your chastity Allah will not disgrace you on the Day of Judgment
I'd like Allah to protect me with a covering protection on the Day of Judgment
Do not uncover your fellow creatures faults, and Allah will provide
you with a covering on the Day of Judgment
What will save me from sins
Tears, humility and illness will save you
What are the best deeds in the eyes of Allah
Gentle manners, modesty, and patience in adversity
What are the worst evils in the eyes of Allah
Hot temper and Miserliness
What extinguishes hell's fire on the Day of Judgment?
Patience in adversity and misfortunes
What assuages the wrath of Allah in this life and the hereafter
Concealed charity and kindness to others
