  • The Purpose of Fasting The ultimate goal of the fast is to develop Taqwaa (consciousness of God) in humans, as Allah said, ?...so that it may produce Taqwaa in you.?1 Taqwaa is among the highest moral qualities that a Muslim can attain. It is produced by placing a shield between one's self and Allah's wrath as the root meaning of the word implies (i.e. Taqwaa comes from the verb waqaa, which means ?to defend?). This is achieved by being conscious of Allah and all His c... Read More

  • Seek to Please God As believers in God alone, our priority in this life should be to fulfill God's expectation of us. We should live a life that will please God. What pleases God is not our utterances, but our actual intentions or actions to carry out His commandments. When pleasing God becomes the most important aspect of one's life, God will make every thing wonderful for him or her: God promises those among you who believe and lead righteous life, that He will make them sovereigns on earth, as He did fo...

  • This is a short excerpt from the following site: www.usc.edu Mode of living His house was but a hut with walls of unbaked clay and a thatched roof of palm leaves covered by camel skin. He had separate apartments for his wives, a small room for each made of similar materials. His own apartment contained a rope cot, a pillow stuffed with palm leaves , the skin of some animal spread on the floor and a water bag of leather and some weapons. Th... Read More

  • Blonde Jokes (not just the canonical list) How did the blond explain how his helicopter crashed? He said it was getting cold, so he turned off the ceiling fan. Why did the blond quit his job as a restroom attendant? He couldn't figure out how to refill the hand dryer. What do you call blonde twins doing bubble gum commercials? Double-dumb. How can you tell if a blonde has been using your lawnmower? The green WELCOME mat is ripped all to shreds. Three blondes are sitting on a park bench eat... Read More

  • From the book: Essentials of Ramadan, The Fasting Month by Tajuddin B. Shu`aib: The Lawgiver highly recommended that the fast be broken as soon as the sun set is certain. Although newspapers, in their daily almanac, mention the time of sunset and sunrise, one should be strongly advsed to look through the window to make sure the sun has set. For example, you might hear or read that "Today's sunrise is at 6:50 a.m. and sunset at 4:58 p.m.," and when you look oustide, you find that there is still light outsid... Read More

 
  • It is generally acknowledged that freedom of expression in Islam is in many ways complimentary to freedom of religion; that is an extension and a logical consequence of the freedom of conscience and belief which the shariah had validated and upholds. Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah points out that freedom of expression can be utilised for the realisation of benefit or for the prevention of evil which may come to light and then be secured through the exercise of this ...

Heck,, you can say it to ME. I will reply if I dont agree with you... Bring it ON..... WHO KNOWS other can clearify your ... Read More
