*- 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)./-

Shaytan, Shaitan, Satan, Devil: Where will I live, eat, sleep?
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim(In the name of Allah, the beneficent the merciful)
What is the purpose of commanding human beings to begin every actin
the name of Allah? The operative word here is name. When we wear name
brands for instancewe do that for a purpose - to be able to gain
standing in a society where these names are recognized. A baby, for
instance is named after someone whom one is fond of respected, thus
reviving the memory of the name.
Shaheed Murtaza Mutahhari in his book 'Understanding the NobleQur'an'
writes that the reason why we begin in the name of Allah is. He says
"It is for the purposeof giving that act a sacred touch and makingit
blessed. When a humanbeing who has a natural sentiment from Allah and
considers Him a holy essence and a source of all Grace, begins an act
inHis name, it means that owing to His sanctity, nobility and
greatness, the action to become sacred."
Let us consider this! Would we say Bismillah... before we abused
someone or stretched outour hands to steal?
Another question that might come to mind when reciting Bismillah (In
the Name of Allah) is what is the difference between Rahman and Rahim.
Shaheed Murtaza Mutahhari writes: "The word Rahman denotes excess and
therefore.Rahman meansthat Allah's mercy spreadseverywhere and covers
everything.The mercy of Allah has no exception. It does not include
non-humans, nor does it include non-believers. It comprises the whole
world.It is the extension of blessings to all existence while they
exist, but many things are perishable. The word Rahim denotes
stability.with its sense of stability and eternity it applies only to
those whothrough their faith and good deeds have placed themselves in
the path of Allah's particular blessings. So Allah's mercy is both
universal and specific."

Bismillah (In the Name of Allah): Meaning of Bismillah, Power and Worth of Bismillah
Bismillah (In the Name of Allah) is the start of all good things, so
we shall start with it. This blessed phrase is a mark of Islam,one
constantly recited by all creatures through their tongues of
disposition. If you want to perceive its inexhaustible source of
strength and blessing, consider the following allegory:
Travelers in Arabian deserts must travel undera tribal chief's name
and protection, or else they will be bothered by bandits and unable to
acquire what they need for the journey. Two people, one humble and the
other arrogant, set out on a journey. The humble one obtained thename
of a tribal chief; the arrogant one did not.The former traveled
everywhere in safety. Whenever he met a bandit, he said: "I'm
traveling in the name of this chief," and so was left alone. He was
treatedwith respect in every tenthe entered. In contrast, the arrogant
one suffered disaster and constant fear, for he had to struggle and
beg for every need. He became base and vile.
O arrogant soul! You are that traveler, and this world is the desert.
Your weakness and poverty are endless, and the enemies and privations
to which you are exposed are beyond number. Given this, invoke the
name of the Eternal Owner and the Everlasting Ruler of this world, for
only this can deliver you from such begging and fear.
Bismillah (In the Name of Allah) is a blessed treasure. It transforms
your boundless weaknessand poverty, by binding you to the Omnipotent
and Merciful One's infinite Power and Mercy,into the most heeded
intercessor at His Exalted Court. When you say Bismillah, you act in
His name. You are like a soldier acting in the state's name, fearing
no one, doing all things in the name of the law and the state, and
persisting against all odds.

Ramadan Articles - Gateways of Goodness in Ramadan-I

in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for the people and clear
proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights ]the new moon of[

Very soon, we are expecting a great month in which Allaah The Almighty
opens the gates of goodness, wherein the reward for good deeds and
