The food and drink of the Jinn

The jinn eat and drink. IbnMas'ood said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: 'Someone from among the jinn called me, and I went with him and recited Qur'aan for them.' He took us and showed usthe traces of where they had been and the traces of their fires. They asked him for food and he said, 'You can have every bone on which the name of Allaah has been mentioned that comes into your possession, as meat, and all the droppings as food for your animals.' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, 'So do notuse [these things] for cleaning yourselves [after relieving oneself], for theyare the food and provision of your brothers.'" (Reported by Muslim, 450).
According to another report: "A delegation of jinn from Naseebeen came to me, and what good jinn they are! They asked me for food and I prayed to Allaah for them,so that they would not pass by bones or droppings, but they would find food on them." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 3571). The believing jinn may eat any bone on which the name of Allaah has been mentioned, because the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not permit them to have anything onwhich Allaah's name has not been mentioned - those are for the kuffaar among the jinn./ - - - :-> 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

Let's Enjoy-Advice to the Youth

Today, people complain that they do not see the miracles of Allah as the people used to see during the presence of the prophets. That is not true at all. The miracles of Allahare visible each and every time. Whether a person is out of this world or within this world, under the sea or above the clouds, he will see the miracles of Allah. Mankind created airplanes after so much struggle and hardship, but Allah had created the birdssince the beginning of creations, which can outperform the abilities of the modern airplanes. In Canada, the weather fluctuates from extreme cold to extreme hot. But we see that the birds stay outside and survive these temperatures without extra clothing. They do noteven need socks to protecttheir legs. I remember, once a pigeon laid some eggs in our balcony. It waswinter. After few weeks, the babies came out. One day as it was snowing, I accidentally opened the balcony door and the mother pigeon flew away leaving the babies unattended. The babies had no feathers to keep them warm. However, they survived this extremecold temperature for a full 15 minutes until the mother returned. If we were to stand outside without clothes in this temperature, then we would be in the hospital for hypothermia. It’s amazing how Allah preserves these animals!
Even in Jannah, Allah has prepared for us beautiful birds. As one Scholar has mentioned, as we walk in Jannah, we will see thousands of birds flying in the sky. Each bird will have two wings and each wing will have 70,000 feathers. When the birds flap their wings, each feather will give out one type of colour. So, each wing will give out 70,000 different types of colours when the birds fly. We cannot comprehend how beautiful it will be. Then suddenly, you will wonder how these birds taste like. As soon as this thought comes to your mind, the birds will fly towards you. Each one of them will offeritself for your food. They will in fact compete with each other to be eaten. One bird will come and say, “I grew up drinking water from the best fountain of Jannah and eating the best fruits of Jannah. Eat me.” You will agree and immediately thebird will be presented to you in food form on 70,000 different plates. Each plate will have a different meal. So, one birdwill feed you 70,000 different types of food! After you are done eating to your satisfaction, the bird will form itself again and fly back to the sky.
We all like to have fun. Butto enjoy a nice car, you must work for sometime beforehand to get the money to buy the car. To enjoy a cell phone, we need to make some effort to pay for the bills. Similarly, to enjoy the eternal bliss of paradise, we have to do some work in this world. That is to obey Allah and call others to obey Him. Everyone is looking for peace but peace is hiding behind obeying Allah. When a person obeys his Lord, then he refrains from harming others. Don’t wait; take the first step now to get closer to Allah. Then keep on taking more steps to climb the stairs. One day will come when you will be high up there, Insha-Allah.

The example of two friends -Advice to the Youth

Allah has given us another opportunity to share with each other some advice which will remind us about the purpose of our lives inshallah. These advice are written and posted by Muslim youths just like you.
Our belief in Allah needs tobe strong and solid. Right now if I were to ask you"Is there a ground under you?" You would without a doubt say yes. Then if I asked "Is there a sky above you?" You would reply yes again without a doubt. Our belief in Allah should be so strong that if I was to ask "Is Allah watching you right now?" Without a doubt you should say yes. This type of belief doesn't come by sitting at home and doing nothing. We must work forit. Allah the Almighty has said in the Holy Quran: As for those who strive hard ``in Us`` (Our Cause), We will surely, guide them to Our Paths. (Surah Ankabut:69).
Let me share a story with you. Two friends were travelling together. One was blind and the other could see. Now, when the night fell, they decided to take some rest and continue the journey in the morning. This area wassuch that in the day time the temperature increases pretty high but in the night the temperature decreases significantly. Much like the areas near the oceans. In the morning, the person who could see left to find some food. The blind man stayed behind and was just touching here and there around him. Now, what had happened at night is that one snake was passing by this place. But due to the extreme coldness, the snake became inactive, frozen, and straight. This blind man's hand fell on this snake and he thought thatit's a very nice stick. He picked it up and became very happy. To a blind man, a good stick is a very valuable thing.
Later, the person who could see came back with some food and saw his friend touching a snake. Sohe shouted and said to throw it away. But the blind man insisted, you want this stick don't you? Iam not going to throw it away. After trying hard, hecouldn't convince the blindman to throw it away. Anyway, they continued their journey. Then the temperature began to rise and the snake started regaining its energy. Whenit received enough heat, it flexed its muscles and bit the blind man.
We can compare ourselvesto this situation also. We are like this blind man andProphet Muhammad (SAW)is like the person who could see. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) went toMiraj and saw the horrors of Hell and the blissfulness of Paradise. Now, the Prophet told us about many things to give up and stay away but becausewe can't see the dangers that's why we don't pay any attention to them. Butwhen the time comes, we will get into serious problems. That is why, we should follow the rules and regulations of Islam.

1a] She ran away from her family’s home and marrieda Christian; is she entitled to a share of her father’s estate?

1a]
It should be noted that one of the things that invalidate one's being
a Muslim and that constitutes apostasy is not regarding as
disbelievers the People of the Book and the mushrikeen, or having some
doubt as to whether they are disbelievers, or regarding their religion
as valid. See the answer to question no. 31807 and 6688
What you have to do is advise your sister and explain the seriousness
of what she has said, and call her to leave her husband ifhe does not
become Muslim.
To sum up the issue of her inheritance: if she remained Muslim and did
not regard as permissible her marriage that she knew was invalid, and
she did not regard the religion of the Christians as valid ordoubt
that they are disbelievers, then she may inherit. Otherwise if she has
done any of these things that invalidate her being a Muslim, then you
have to advise her and askher to repent in front of scholars in your
country. If she repents, all well and good, otherwise she is an
apostate and has no right to inherit from your father.
And Allah knows best.
