Ruling on describing nurses as “angels of mercy”

We often read about and hear the common people and their writers and poets describing nurses as“angels of mercy.” Is that permissible?
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible to apply this description to nurses, because the angels are male and are not female. Allaah denounced the mushrikeen for describingthe angels as female. Moreover, the angels of mercy have their own description which cannot be applied to nurses, for there are good and bad nurses, so it is not permissible to apply this description to them. And Allaah 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

A Group of Jinns meet Prophet Muhammad

It is stated by Imam Baihaqi in "Dalail-e-Nubuwwat" on the authority
of Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Masood (ra) that the Prophet (saw) once, said
to his companions in Makkah:"Whosoever from amongst you desires to see
the jinns, he should come to me tonight." Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Masood
stated that nobody except me came that night. The Prophet (saw) took
me with him to a high hill in Makkah. He drew a circle with his foot
for me and advised me to keep sitting within that circle. Seating
Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Masood within that circle, he advanced ahead and
then stood at a place. There, he started recitation of the Holy Quran.
All of a sudden a big group of jinns encircled the Prophet (saw) and
that group stood as a wall between me and the Prophet (saw)and I heard
the jinns saying: "Who gives evidence that you are the Prophet." There
was a tree nearby. The Prophet (saw) observed: "Will you accept my
claim if this tree gives the evidence?" The jinns said: "Yes, we shall
accept it." On that, the Prophet (saw) called the tree. The tree came
nearby and gave the evidence accordingly and all the jinns embraced
Islam.

Walking with a bag of bread by night

Ali Ibn Al Husain used to lead a seemingly miserly life. But when he
died they discovered that he was supporting one hundred poor families
in Madinah. Muhammad Ibn Ishaq said: Some people of Madinah used to
live not knowing where from they got their livelihood. When Ali Ibn Al
Husain died they lost what used to be sent to them by night. As a
matter of fact, Ali Ibn Al Husain used to carry a bag of bread by
night on his back and distribute it as charity. He would say: "The
secret charity puts out the angerof Allah." When Ali Ibn Al Husain
died and people washed his body, they found some black traces on his
back. They said: What is this? Then the answer was that he used to
carry bags of flour on itby night and would give them to the poor
people of Madinah. That is why when he died, people of Madinah said:
We only lost the secret charity when Ali Ibn Al Husain died.

Ruling on reciting Qur’aan in a state of minor impurity (withoutwudoo’)

If it is mustahab to recite(from memory) withwudhu then would it be makrooh to do so with out wudhu?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing wrong with reciting Qur'aan in a state of minor impurity (without wudoo'), and some of the scholars havestated that there is consensus on its permissibility. There are saheeh hadeeths concerning this matter which demonstrate that itis not necessary to do wudoo' if one wants to recite Qur'aan and is in a state of minor impurity. Rather the difference of scholarly opinion has to do with touching the Qur'aan and whether one who is in a state of major impurity (janaabah) can recite it; the majority of scholars are of the view that both of these mattersare not allowed.
It was narrated from 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) that that he stayed one night with Maymoonah, the Mother of the Believers, who was his maternal aunt. I lay down across the width of the mattress and the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and his wife lay along its length. The Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) slept until halfway through the night, or just before or after that. The Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) woke up and started wiping thesleep from his face with his hand. Then he recited the last ten verses of Soorat Aal 'Imraan, then he got up and went to a waterskin that was hanging there, and did wudoo' from it and did it well, then he stood and prayed.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4295; Muslim, 763
Imam al-Bukhaari included this hadeeth in a chapter entitled: Chapter on Reciting Qur'aan after Minor Impurity and otherwise.
Ibn 'Abd al-Barr (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
This indicates that Qur'aanmay be recited without wudoo', because he slept for a long time, so there isno question that he woke up without wudoo'; then he woke up and recited Qur'aan before he did wudoo', then he did wudoo' after that and prayed.

Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
This indicates that it is permissible for one who isin a state of minor impurity to recite Qur'aan;this is the consensus of the Muslims.
End quote from Sharh Muslim, 6/46
And Allah knows best.
