was brought to India in the 8th century by traders, Islam became a
dominantreligious force in the country during the Moghul Empire. There
areestimated to be 1.4 billion adherents, making Islam the
second-largest religion in the world. Today, Muslims may be found
throughout the world, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa,
South Asia, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. The majority of Muslims
are not Arabs; only 20 percent of Muslims originate from Arab
countries. Islam is the second largest religion inthe United Kingdom,
and many other European countries, including France, which has the
largest Muslim population in Western Europe.

Five Pillars of Islam TheFive Pillars of Islam is the term given to
what are understood among manyMuslims to be the five core aspects of
Sunni Islam. Shi'a Muslims accept the Five Pillars, but also add
several other practices to form the Branches of Religion.
1.Shahadah
The basic creed or tenet of Islam is found in the shahādatān ("two
testimonies"): 'ashadu 'al-lā ilāha illā-llāhu wa 'ashadu 'anna
muħammadan rasūlu-llāh ; "I testify that there is none worthy of
worship except God and I testify that Muhammad <(Sall-Allahu alayhi wa
sallam) is the Messenger of God."As the most important pillar, this
testament can be considered a foundation for all other beliefs and
practices in Islam. Ideally, it is the first words a new-born will
hear, and children are taught to recite and understand the shahadah as
soon as theyare able to. Muslims must repeat the shahadah in prayer,
and non-Muslims must use the creed to formally convert to Islam.
2. Salat (Namaz)
Muslims performing salat (prayer)
Muslims must perform five daily prayers, salat, throughout the day as
a form of submission to God. The ritual combines specific movements
and spiritual aspects, preceded by wudu', or ablution. It is also
supposed to serve as a reminder to do good andstrive for greater
causes as well as a form of restraint from committing harmful or
shameful deeds.
It is believed that the prayer ritual was demonstrated to Muhammad
(Peace and Blessings be Upon him) by the angel Jabrīl, or Gabriel in
English.
Common mistakes usually we make in prayers
Listed below are the 7 Common mistakes usuallywe make in prayers
Mistake 1: Reciting Surat al-Fatiha fast without pausing after each
verse.
The Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) used to pause after each
verse of this surah. (Abu Dawood)
Mistake 2 : Sticking the arms to the sides of the body, in rukoo' or
sujood, and sticking the belly to the thighs in sujood.
The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) said: "Let
not one of you support himself
on his forearms (in sujood) like the dog. Let him rest on his palms
and keep his elbows away from his body." (Sahih Muslim) . The
Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) used to keep his
arms away from his body
during rukoo' and sujood that the whiteness of his armpits could be
seen (Sahih Muslim).
Mistake 3: Gazing upwardduring prayer.
This may cause loss of concentration. We are commanded to lower our
gaze, and look at the point at which the head rests during sujood. The
Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) warned: "Let those who raise
their gaze up during prayer
stop doing so, or else their sights would not return to them. i.e.
lose their eyesight]." (Muslim)
Mistake 4 : Resting only the tip of the head on the floor during
sujood. The Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) said: "I am
commanded to prostrate on seven bones
the forehead and the nose, the two hands [palms], the two knees, and
the two feet." (Sahih Muslim) Applying the above command necessitates
resting the forehead and the nose on the ground during sujood.
Mistake 5 : Hasty performance of prayer which does not allow repose
and calmness in rukoo' or sujood.
The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) saw a man who
did not complete his
rukoo' [bowing], and made a very short sujood[prostration] ; he (Peace
and Blessings be Upon him)
said: "If this man dies while praying in this manner, he would die
upholding a religion other than the religion ofMuhammad." Abu
Hurairah (RA) said:
"My beloved friend, Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) forbade
me to perform postures of
prayer copying the picking of a rooster; (signifying fast performance
of prayer), moving eyes around like a fox and thesitting like monkeys
( i.e. to sit on thighs)." (Imam Ahmad & at-Tayalisi) The Messenger of
Allah (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) said: " The worst thief is the
one who steals from his own
prayer." People asked, 'Messenger of Allah! How could one steal from
his own prayer?' He (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) said: "By not
completing its rukoo' and
sujood." (At Tabarani & al-Hakim).
To complete rukoo' is to stay in that posture long enough to recite
'Subhana rabbiyal Adtheem' three times, SLOWLY, and 'Subhana rabbiyal-
a'ala' three times, SLOWLY, in sujood. He (Peace and Blessings be Upon
him) also announced: "He
who does not complete his rukoo' and sujood, his prayer is void." (Abu
Dawood & others)
Mistake 6 : Counting tasbeeh with the left hand
The Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) used to count tasbeeh
onthe fingers of his right
hand after salah. Ibn Qudamah (RA) said: " The Messenger of Allah
(Peace and Blessings be Upon him) used his right hand for tasbeeh."
(Abu Dawood). The above
hadeeth indicates clearly that the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be
Upon him) used only one hand
for counting tasbeeh. No Muslim with sound mind would imagine that the
Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) used his left hand for
counting tasbeeh. Aa'ishah (RA)
said that the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) used his left
hand only for Istinjaa', or
cleaning himself after responding to the call of nature. He never used
it for tasbeeh. Yasirah (RA) reported: The Prophet (Peace and
Blessings be Upon him) commanded
women to count tasbeeh on their fingers.To complete rukoo' is to
stayin that posture long enough to recite
'Subhana rabbiyal Adtheem' three times, SLOWLY, and 'Subhana rabbiyal-
a'ala' three times, SLOWLY, in sujood. He (Peace and Blessings be Upon
him) also announced: "He
who does not complete his rukoo' and sujood, his prayer is void." (Abu
Dawood & others)
The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) said: "They
(the fingers) will be made to
speak, and will be questioned (on the Day of Resurrection. )" (At-
Tirmidhi) .. The above Hadeeth indicates that it is preferable to
count tasbeeh on the fingers of the right hand than to do so on
masbahah (rosary).
3. Zakat
Zakat, or alms-giving, is amandated giving of charity to the poor and
needy by able Muslims based on the wealth that he or she has
accumulated. It is a personal responsibility intended to ease economic
hardship for others and eliminate inequality.
4. Sawm (Roza)
Sawm, or fasting, is an obligatory act during themonth of Ramadan.
Muslims must abstain from food, drink, and sexual intercourse from
dawn to dusk during thismonth, and are to be especially mindful of
other sins that are prohibited. This activity is intended to allow
Muslims to seek nearness to God as well as remind them of the needy.
Mistake 7 : Crossing in front of a praying person.
The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) warned:"Were
the one who crosses in
front of a praying personto know the consequences of doing so, he
would have waited for*forty better than to cross in front of
him." (Sahih Bukhari andMuslim). *The forty in thetradition may be
days months or even years. Allah knows best.
Common Errors in Prayer That MUST Be Avoided - Please inform your near
and dear ones to take care of the above.
Remember Muslim Ummah in your supplications
5. Hajj
The Hajj is a pilgrimage that occurs during the month of Dhu al-Hijjah
inthe city of Makkah. The pilgrimage is required for all Muslims who
are both physically and financially able to go andis to be done at
least once in one's lifetime.
The Pilgrimage ( hajj ) to Kaaba, Masjid al Haram, Makkah, is an
important practice for Muslims to perform

HAMEED QADIRI ( QADIRI ) QADIR WALI GHANJASAVOY,GHANJABAKSH NAGORI, of
Nagore Dargah ( Nagore Dargah) Sheriff.
This Famous Holy Saint was born in Manickkapurnear Ayodhya in the
northern Indian state of U.P. on a blessed Friday early morning in the
Arabic month of 10th Jamathul Akhir Hijiri 910 (1491-A.D.)The Holy
Saint was the 23rd lineal descendant of the Holy Prophet MOHAMMED
(S.A.W the peace upon him). His father was HAZARATH SYED HASAN
KHUDDOOS SAHIB and his mother BEEBI FATHIMA.
Even before his birth, a messenger of God appeared before his mother
Beebi Fathima in a dream and predicted that she would be blessed with
a son who would be the Savior of people and spend his life to spread
Ilam. Even as a child he showed signs of great wisdom, intense piety
and divine communication before he was eight years old and learnt
Arabic language and its grammar. He went in search of a religious
preceptor (Master) who could educate him in solving the riddle and the
secrecy of the world and who could teach himmore about the Almighty
and his ways and at his parent's desire, went to Gwalior to be
initiated byHAZARATH SYED MOHAMED GHOUSE SAHIB Gwalior in divine
knowledge.
After more than a decadeof training, he left Gwalior and went to
Manickkapur with a bunch of 404 disciples and then toured extensively
with his disciples in Afghanistan, Balusistan and other places of the
world performing innumerable miracles on the way by raising the dead,
making the dump to speak and the lamb to walk and by curing all kinds
of incurable diseases.
On his way to Makkah (Saudi Arabia), he halted in a Mosque at Lahore
where a rich and respectable Mohammedan Kazi Hazarath Noordin Sahib
approached him to be blessed with a child. The Saint gave a chewed
betel leaf to Noordin andinstructed Noordin to hand over to his wife
Beebi Johara and ordained that she should swallow it and remain
separated from her husband for 40 days.He prayed to the Almighty
tobless Noordin with children, and also informed Noordin that the
eldest son should be dedicated to him as his son and asked Noordin to
remain with him for 40 days without seeing his wife.As per his
blessings, Beebi Johara conceived and gave birthto a son on the 12th
of Rajab Hijiri 959 and the child was named SYED MOHAMMED YOOSUF SAHIB
as directed by the Holy Saint.
The child was properly educated and in his 7th year took leave of his
parents to go and meet his real father at Makkah as he heard a Divine
Voice informing him that his father (Hazarath Syed Shahul Hameed Qadir
wali) was awaiting his arrival at Makkah so he went to Makkah and
joined his father there.The Saint, his son and 404 followers-disciples

Lastly the Saint visited Thanjavur, at that time the Naick dynasty was
ruling over Thanjavur. The King Achuthuppa Naikan, then ruler of
Thanjavur was suffering from a grievous and prolonged illness. The
ministry of the King begged the Saint and requested him to visit
thepalace and cure the ill of the King. The Saint was very much moved
went to the palace and found that a dove was made to suffer by
black-magic, with pin pricks all over its body and it was in a very
unsafe condition and was the cause of the King's ailment at once.
Heasked his son to bring the dove prayed and removed one by one the
pins in the body of the dove. After the removal of the pins the King
recovered and got well. The queen energized by the miraculous cure of
her husband fell on her knees before the Saint and begged the Saint to
bless them with children. The Saint accordingly blessed them with a
fruitful progeny and in return the King offered wealth and rich
presents which the Saint did not accept but only asked theKing to give
him a piece of land near the Sea-shore.
Accordingly the King dedicated 30 acres of land called 'Heavenly' and
submitted the same to the Holy Saint on which the present buildings

place till the end of his life with his son.As per his instruction his

Dought & clear - People claiming that they can make lots of money by using the jinn

There is a man who claims that he deals withthe jinn, and that he is
prepared to pay huge profits to anyone who deals with him. For
example, if I give him one million, he will use mercury to deal with
thejinn, and then he will give me a profit of approximately five
million riyaals. What is your opinion of this man's claims? Is it true
that the jinn can bring money to a person who – as he claims – uses
them?
Praise be to Allaah.
In my opinion this is not permissible, because dealing with them
usually only comes after getting close to them by means of things that
they like. This is the action of the practitioner of witchcraft who
gets close to the Shaytaan by doing things that he likes, which
cancels out all his good deeds. Whenhe mentioned that he uses mercury,
this is deceit and taking people's money under false pretences, and it
may come under the heading of gambling and stealing. The shayaateen
work by illusions and magic, and it is known that they do not possess
any kind of money or currency or goods. If they give anything of that
sort to aperson, either it is an illusion that is not real, or else it
is something that has been stolen from other people. It is not right
to deal with them at all.
In fact, many of these fraudsters who claim that they can make money
are cheats and liars who deceive the people and destroy theirwealth
and efforts; it is no more than theft. The newspapers are full of
stories like this. We ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound.

Dought & clear - He was absent from work with the permission of his immediate boss, but without the management’s knowledge.

I found a job as a customer service representative in Egypt. We had to
sign a contract, the terms of which are as follows:
A two month training period during which thesalary is 3500 Egyptian
pounds per month;
after completion of the training period, the salary will rise to 4000
Egyptian pounds per month.
We are not allowed any days off during the first six months. During
the training period I was forced to take a week off for my wedding.
The trainer told me that this wedding break would be a secret between
me and him, without the management's knowledge, because I was not
entitled to any break during the training period. I got 3500 pounds at
the end of the month. Is the money that I got for the week off haraam?
If it is haraam, what should I do?
Praise be to Allaah.
The basic principle is that the employee is required to fulfil the
conditions stipulated in the contract, so long as those conditions are
not contrary to Islamic teachings. Allah, may He be exalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning): "O you who believe! Fulfill (your)
obligations" [al-Maa'idah 5:1]. And the Prophet (blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him) said: "The Muslims are bound by their
conditions, except a condition that treats something halaal as haraam,
or treats something haraam as halaal." Narrated by at-Tirmidhi, 1352;
classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan at-Tirmidhi.
If the matter is as you say, that your immediateboss is the one who
gave you time off and the company did not tell him to do that, and the
system does not allow that, then it is not permissible for you to take
this break just because your immediateboss agreed, because that is
breaking the terms of your work contract. So you have to return to the
company the money that you tookfor the time you had a break, even if
you have to resort to some kind oftrick, as appropriate; you do not
have to tell them what really happened.
And Allah knows best.
