DON'T CONFUSE WITH AL-AQSA MOSQUE

Whenever Mosque Al-Aqsa is mentioned in the media, it shows the
picture of Mosque (Dome of the Rock).
QUESTION COMES "WHY" ?
The main reason for that is the Zionist Conspiracy to erase from the
memory of Muslims worldwide, the true picture of Mosque Al-Aqsa.
Many Muslims and Non-Muslims publish the incorrect picture of
MosqueAl-Aqsa out of ignorance.
What is worse than this is that many Muslims today, display the
picture of the Dome of the Rock in their homes and offices, as it were
Mosque Al-Aqsa.
The real tragedy is that generations of Muslim children (as well as
many adults) around the world, are unable to differentiate between
Mosque Al-Aqsa and The Dome of the Rock.
What do you think is goingto happen if Mosque Al-Aqsa is destroyed and
removed from the present landscape.
Obviously, you might not expect much, since everyone will see the Dome
of the Rock still standing, unharmed.
People will incorrectly believe that nothing has changed and that
something else was destroyed.
What are you going to do NOW?
It is our duty now to clear up this misunderstandin g, especially for
our children because they are the future.
We have to carry out this duty even if we demonstrate and scream inthe
streets. We must help people understand the truth.
Mosque Al-Aqsa, where Messenger Muhammad (PBUH) led the prayers for
the other messengers.
"سبحان الذي أسرى بعبده ليلا من المسجد الحرام إلى المسجد الأقصى الذي
باركنا حوله لنريه من آياتنا ، إنه هـو السميـع البصيـر"
Glorified be He (Allâh). Whotook His slave (Muhammad SAW) for a
journey by nightfrom Al-Masjid-al-Ha râm tothe farthest mosque, the
neighborhood where of wehave blessed, in order that we might show of
our signs. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. Surah
Al-Isra'(17) verse:1
Now forward this to all, so as to inform them of the TRUTH.
وَقُلْ جَاء الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا
And say: 'Ttuth has come and Falsehood has vanished. Surely!
Falsehoodis ever bound to vanish.' Surah Al-Isra'(17) verse:81
Now forward this to all, so as to inform them of the TRUTH.

HADEES - ~

At the end of the Battle of Yarmuk, the King of Rome began to ask his
defeated army: "Shame on you, tell me about those whom youfought. Are
they not men like yourselves?" They said,"Yes O King." He said,
"Whowas greater in number, you or them?" They said,"We are greater
than them in every place." He said,"Then why have you been defeated?"
An elder from their great heads said,"They have defeated us because
they stand to pray at night, they fast during the day, they fulfill
their oaths and they are just amongst themselves."

ISLAMIC ARTICLE :- ~ What are some reasons for the animosity between Christians and Muslims?

Question: "What are some reasons for the animosity between Christians
and Muslims? Can Christians reconcile with Muslims?"
Answer: On September 11, 2001, the world entered the age of terror.
The terrorists wage cruel atrocities in the name of Islam. Christians
wonder how to respond to the threat. To their reproach, some fearfully
spurn all Muslims as terrorists. Others compromise truth to show
acceptance. Both approaches dishonor God.
Christians must understandtheir differences with Muslims so they can
respond with truth and love. First, let's prayerfully examine how to
overcome some of the initial barriers between Muslims and Christians.
1. Muslims are offended by Western secularism
As global technology shrinks the world, Muslims feel threatened by
Westernculture: immoral movies, pornography, immodest dress, vile
music, and rebellious teens. Western culture threatens the Islamic
faith, worldview, and lifestyle. They equate this Western culture with
Christianity.
Christian response : Befriend Muslims and explain how Western culture
is no longer Christian but secular. Further, not all who claim to be
Christians are true followers of Christ. Show by word and action an
example of a true Christian:"Keep your conduct amongthe Gentiles
honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may
see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation" (1 Peter
2:12).
2. Muslims are resentful of Western dominance
Some countries of the Westhave a history of colonialism and
interference, which Muslims resent. While some approve of the war on
terror, other Muslims bitterly object. Many also feel betrayed by the
West's"favoritism" of Israel, which displaced thousands of
Palestinians.
Christian response : Demonstrate genuine love and humility by prayer
andservice. Focus on Christ—not political controversies. God will one
day restore justice. In the meantime, He provides government leaders
to protect the good and punish the wrongdoer (Romans 13:1-7).
"Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate
with the lowly. Never be conceited. Repay no one evil for evil, but
give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible,
so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never
avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is
written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.' To the
contrary, 'if your enemy is hungry, feedhim; if he is thirsty, give
him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on
his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"
(Romans 12:16-21).
"Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know
that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be
quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring
evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant
them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may
escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do
his will" (2 Timothy 2:23-26).
3. Militant Muslims act onwar verses in the Qur'an
While many Muslims are peace-loving, others interpret the Qur'an as
giving them divine permission to convert or kill non-Muslims.
Christian response : Sadly,some Christians fearfully despise Muslims.
But the Lord gives the perfect neutralizer to fear and hatred: His
love.
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear" (1 John 4:18a).
"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell"(Matthew
10:28).
"But I say to you who hear,Love your enemies, do good to those who
hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you"
(Luke 6:27).
Jesus didn't promise His followers a life free of suffering. Instead,
He assured, "If the world hatesyou, know that it has hatedme before it
hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its
own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the
world,therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to
you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted
me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also
keep yours. But all these things they will do toyou on account of my
name, because they do not know him who sent me" (John 15:18-21).
While some misunderstandings can be cleared with Muslims, the main
offense is . . . Jesus Christ! (See 1 Peter 2:4-8.) The truth about
the Lord and Savior must not be compromised. Muslims reject God the
Father who sent His Son to die for sinners. Most deny both
thenecessity and historicity of Christ's death.

ISLAMIC ARTICLE :- ~ Types of Diseases That Attack the Heartand Their Cure

... both are mentioned in the Qur'an. Allah says about the disease of
doubt: "In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and
Allah has increased their disease." (2:10) And He said: "...and that
those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers
may say: 'What Allah intends by this (curious) example?'" (74:31)
Allah says concerning those who refuse to make the Qur'an and Sunnah
the basis of their judgments: "And when they are called to Allah
(i.e., His Words, the Qur'an) and His Messenger, to judge between
them, lo!a party of them refuses (to come) and turns away. But if the
truth is on their side, they come to him willingly with submission. Is
there a disease in their hearts? Or do they doubt or fear lest Allah
and His Messenger should wrong them in judgement? Nay, it is they
themselves who are the Dhalimoon (polytheists, hypocrites and
wrongdoers)." (24:48-50) This is the disease of doubtand error. Also,
Allah says about desire and lust, adultery in this case: "O wives of
the Prophet! You are not likely any other women. If you keep your duty
(to Allah), then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose hearts is a
disease (of hypocrisy, or evil desire for adultery) should be moved
with desire..." (33:32) ... Providing proper remedies for ailments of
the heart (referring to spiritual and emotional ailments) only occurs
at thehands of the Prophets, alaihim as salam, and Messengers of
Allah. The heart becomes well when it acquires knowledge of itsLord
and Creator and in His Names, Attributes, Actions and Commandments.
The heart also becomes well when it prefers acquiring Allah's Pleasure
and preferswhat He likes, all the while avoiding His prohibitions and
what might lead to Hisdispleasure. There is no life,health, or
wellbeing for theheart except by this method, which only the Me...
