Sisters!!! Dedicated to all women

2009-11-15T05:47:00.000-08:00

A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day,drinking iced tea and visiting with her mother. Asthey talked about life, about marriage, about theresponsibilities of life and the obligations ofadulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in herglass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glanceupon her daughter..'Don't forget your sisters,' she advised, swirlingthe tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'They'llbe more important as you get older. No matter howmuch you love your husband, no matter how much youlove the children you may have, you are still goingto need sisters. Remember to go places with them nowand then; do things with them..''Remember that 'sisters' means ALL the women...your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your otherwomen relatives too. 'You'll need other women. Womenalways do.'What a funny piece of advice!' the young womanthought. Haven't I just gotten married?Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now amarried woman, for goodness sake! A grownup! Surelymy husband and the family we may start will be all Ineed to make my life worthwhile!'But she listened to her mother. She kept contactwith her sisters and made more women friends eachyear. As the years tumbled by, one after another,she gradually came to understand that her mother reallyknew what she was talking about. As time and naturework their changes and their mysteries upon a woman,sisters are the mainstays of her life..
After more than 50 years of living in this world,here is what I've learned:THIS SAYS IT ALL:Time passes.Life happens.Distance separates.Children grow up.Jobs come and go.Love waxes and wanes.Men don't do what they're supposed to do.Hearts break.Parents die.Colleagues forget favors.Careers end.BUT.........Sisters are there, no matter how much time and howmany miles arebetween you. A girl friend is never farther awaythan needing her can reach.When you have to walk that lonesome valley and youhave to walk it by yourself, the women in your lifewill be on the valley's rim, cheering you on,praying for you, pulling for you, intervening onyour behalf, and waiting with open arms at thevalley's end..Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walkbeside you...Or come in and carry you out.Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extendedfamily: all bless our life!The world wouldn't be the same without women, andneither would I. When we began this adventure calledwomanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys orsorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much wewould need each other..Every day, we need each other still. Pass this onto all the women who help make your life meaningful.I just did. Short and very sweet:There are more than twenty angels in this world.Ten are peacefully sleeping on clouds. Nine areplaying. And one is reading her post at this moment.Send this message to ten of your friends.

DANGEROUS TRICKS AGAINST ISLAM! PLEASE FORWARD!

2009-11-15T05:43:00.001-08:00

Assalaamu 'Aleykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu,
COULD YOU FORWARD AN EMAIL TO SAVE YOUR RELIGION?
Please send this message to every Muslim you know...
ASAP!
If you don't...
A Muslim somewhere in the world could be receiving false information about Islam. So prevent that from happening.
!PLEASE!
Beware of the following websites:
www.answering-islam.org
www.aboutislam.com
www.thequran.com
www.allahassurance.com
These sites have been developed by
Jews .
Who Intentionally are spreading
wrong information about the QURAN , the
HADITH and ISLAM itself.
Please spread this information
To all the Muslim brothers and sisters around the world. The list of traced
anti- Islamic websites, about Islam are:
1. http://www.islamreview.com
This site has posted fake stories of how Muslims converted to Christianity. How do I know? Read the following excerpt from one of the stories:
First the 'convert' says: (emphasis added)
In the end, I managed to convince my mother, as it was for Allah and I joined the Islamic College. Having graduated as an ustaz, I was soon posted to my neighbourhood

And then:
My trip to Mecca for the Haj (pilgrimage) was tiring but eventful. I did not have the rare opportunity to see inside the holy Kabah and the holy idols inside, which Prophet Muhammud had helped to place, as explained in Bukhari's Hadith
An Ustaz (scholar) in Islaamic Studies is saying that there are idols inside the Kabah and that too placed by Muhammad (saw) himself!?!?!
This clearly shows that the author is deliberately trying to spread misinformation about Islaam and wants to convey to possible reverts to Islaam that it is religion of idol worship.
In fact most of the Christian sites use this tactic of false convert stories but it's not always possible to prove it
2.
http://www.faithfreedom.org/
AlhamduliLlaah I was able to catch another site posting fake stories of Muslims leaving Islaam. See the false information imparted here. That the attempt is deliberate is known through the claim that the 'convert' has done detailed study about the topic.

For Islamic Education, I had to study about marriage in detail to do well. So, I learnt all the stuff and got the highest grade anyone can get for Islamic Education. And guess what? Because I know it so well, I know that there is a lot of discrimination against women in Islam. Things like a father and grandfather can marry a girl/woman to whomever they want even if the girl/woman doesn't want to marry that person In addition, I learned things like women couldn't be witnesses in Syariah Courts and things like that
. The first point here is a total lie whereas the second is a distorted version of the truth.........
3.
http://www.answering-islam.org/Testimonies/younathan..html
Here's yet another extract from a false convert story aimed at spreading misinformation about Islaam.
As I started thinking about my life and the Quran, I realized all Muslims, even the prophet Muhammad, would go to Hell for certain sins they committed in their lifetime.
This is a common ploy of the Christian Missionaries. They first inform gullible victims that Jesus (God) is Love and just by believing in the Crucifixion, you will be assured of Paradise . Whereas the concept of God in Islaam is so harsh that no one will be spared from Hell and that even Prophet Muhammad (saw) was not sure of where he would end up.. For this purpose they quote an ayat of the Qur'aan out of context. Here there have gone a step further by saying that even our beloved Prophet (saw) would have to go through hell. Nothing could be further from the truth.

A
FAKE AMERICAN QUR'AN
(The FURQAN QUR'AN)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1579211755/qid%3D1096805827/102-4933271-2395342
PLEASE DO NOT ignore this.
FORWARD this to as many Muslims as you can.
The new AMERICAN Qur'an:
a dangerous trick.
A new Quran
is being distributed in Kuwait , titled 'The True
Furqan'. It is being described as the verses of the
Shaytan and
Al-Furqan weekly magazine has found out
that the two American printing companies;
'Omega 2001'
and
'Wine Press' are involved in the publishing of

'
The True Furqan ', a book which has also been titled
'
The 21st Century Qur'an '!
It is over 366 pages and is
in both the Arabic and English languages...it is being
distributed to our children in Kuwait in the private
English schools!
The book contains 77 Surats, which include Al-Fatiha, Al-Jana and Al-Injil. Instead of
Bismillah, each Surat begins with a longer version of
this incorporating the Christian belief of the three
spirits.
And this so called Qur'an opposes many Islamic
beliefs. In one of its verses it describes having more
than one wife as fornication, divorce being
non-permissible and it uses a new system for the
sharing out of the will, opposing the current one. It
states that Jihad is HARAM.
This book even goes as far as attacking God Almighty Allah!
All this is poisoning our children at approx. $3.
Brothers and Sisters please make sure you forward this
email to as many people as possible so that we can
stop this dangerous trick..
May Allah reward you. Ameen.

60 Ways to Keep Your Husband's Love

2009-11-06T03:02:00.000-08:00

YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE

2009-11-06T02:58:00.000-08:00

YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE

A plum once said, just because a banana lover came by, I converted myself into a banana. Unfortunately,his taste changed after a few months and so I became an orange. When he said I was bitter I became an apple, but he went in search of grapes. Yielding to the opinions of so many people, I have changed so many times that I no more know who I am. How I wish I had remained a plum and waited for a plum lover.
Just because a group of people do not accept you as you are, there is no necessity for you to strip yourself of your originality. You need to think good of yourself, for the world takes you at your own estimate. Never stoop down in order to gain recognition. Never let go of your true self to win a relationship. In the long run, you will regret that you traded your greatest glory - your uniqueness, for momentary validation. Even Gandhi was not accepted by many people. The group that does not accept you as you is not your world.
There is a world for each one of you, where you shall reign as king / queen by just being yourself. Find that world... in fact, that world will find you.
What water can do, gasoline cannot and what copper can, gold cannot. The fragility of the ant enables it to move and the rigidity of the tree enables it to stay rooted. Everything and everybody has been designed with a proportion of uniqueness to serve a purpose that we can fulfil only by being our unique self. You as you alone can serve your purpose and I as I alone can serve my purpose. You are here to be you... just you.
There was a time in this world when a Krishna was required and he was sent; a time when a Christ was required and he was sent; a time when a Mahatma was required and he was sent; a time when a J.R.D.Tata was required and he was sent. There came a time when you were required on this planet and hence you were sent. Let us be the best we can be. Don't miss yourself and let the world not miss you.
In the history of the universe, there has been nobody like you and to the infinite of time to come, there will be no one like you. Existence should have loved you so much that it broke the mould after making you, so that another of your kind will never get repeated. You are original. You are rare. You are unique. You are a wonder. You are a masterpiece... your Master's piece. Celebrate your Uniqueness.

Marriage - Half your faith

2009-10-30T08:11:00.000-07:00

Marriage – Half your faith

What is Marriage?

- the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (pbuh)
- binds two hearts with love, magically endowed by Allah
- strengthens you with Faith
- blesses you with a partner, a friend & a companion for life with whom you can find love, peace & comfort
- showers on you loyalty & faithfulness, mutual co-operation & understanding
- gifts you the devotion of an obedient & patient wife
- grants you the care of a loving & understanding husband

Lets not swap this blessing with

- a relation of broken hearts
- a union based on other things instead of iman & islam
- lack of love, indifference, misunderstandings, clashes of ego, quarrels over petty things, suspicion, disloyalty & disobedience
- greed for material things like dowry
- tyranny & abuse

MAKE YOUR MARRIED LIFE PEACEFUL & A PATHWAY TO JANNAH

Few of the best Duas

2009-10-30T07:58:00.000-07:00

Assalamu Aleikum,
REPENTANCE AFTER EVERY FARDH SALAAT:
Rasulullah said: "Whosoever recites Subhanallah 33 times after every Salaat and recites AlhamduLillah 33 times and then recites Allahu Akbar 33 times, which equals to 99 and completed the 100 by reciting:
"La ilaaha illallahu wahdahu laasharika lahu lahulmulku wa lahulhamdu wahuwa alaa kulli shayyin qadir
Meaning: There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs dominion and praise, and He is over all things competent." all his sins will be forgiven even though it be equal to the foam of the ocean.
TO SEEK REPENTANCE AFTER FAJR AND ASR SALAAT:
According to a Hadith, whosoever after far and ASR recite thrice the following Repentance:
"Astagafirullahallazi laa ilaaha illa huwal hayyul qayoom wa atoobu ilaihi
I ask forgiveness of Allah, (who is) "There is no god save He," everliving, eternal, owner of might and majesty and I turn repentant unto you."
all his sins, even if huge like the sea, will be forgiven.
DUA NE’MUL BADAL:
Janabe Umme Salma was widowed in medina & in difficulty when she requested the Prophet (pbuh) for a dua. The prophet asked her to recite this dua . As a consequence she became the wife of the Best human being on earth! when there was NO hope of earning respect & a decent living.
"Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raje oon. Allahummajalni farajawn wa makhrajan war zuqni khaira min haiso ahtasibo wa min haiso la ahtasib, be haqqe Mohammadin wa ale mohammad (SAW)"

We belong to Allah and to Allah we return. O Allah! speed up to me help and recovery and give me good sustenance from where I know and know not for the sake of Muhammad (SAW) and his family.

HADITH:"Whoever enters a market and says:
'Laa ilaaha ill Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul Hamdu yuhyi wa yumeetu wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wa huwa 'alaa kulli shay'in qadeer'
MEANING: (there is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs dominion and praise, He causes life and death and He is the Living and does not die. In His Hand is all good, and He is over all things competent.) Allah will write for him a million good deeds, erase a million of his bad deeds and raise him a million levels."(Tirmidhi, classed as Hasan by Albani)
Remember me in your prayers,
Niloufer

Assalamu Aleikum,

Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) used to supplicate:
"Allahumma inni as'alukal-huda, wat-tuqa, wal-`afafa, wal-ghina
(O Allah! I beseech You for guidance, piety, chastity and contentment).

Commentary:"Guidance'' means guidance towards virtue which one needs at every step. The ability to do good and steadfastness on the Right Path is also covered by the term guidance. To comply with the Orders of Allah and to prevent oneself from what He has forbidden is Taqwa (fear of Allah), the importance of which needs no elaboration. `Affaf is prevention from sins. It also means evasion from seeking help from others. Ghina means riches which makes one independent of others so much so that all one's hopes are centered on Allah Alone. The prayer quoted in this Hadith is very comprehensive indeed.

Allahumm-aghfir li, warhamni, wa-hdini, wa `afini, warzuqni
O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, guard me against harm and provide me with sustenance and salvation.

Allahumma musarrifal-qulubi, sarrif qulubana `ala ta`atika
O Allah! Controller of the hearts, direct our hearts to Your obedience.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Seek refuge in Allah against the turmoils, attacks of misfortunes, and evil of judgement and joys of the enemies.''

Allahumm-aslih li diniyalladhi huwa `ismatu amri, wa aslih li dunyaya-llati fiha ma`ashi, wa aslih li akhirati-llati fiha ma`adi, waj`alil-hayata ziyadatan li fi kulli khair, waj`alil-mauta rahatan li min kulli sharrin.

O Allah, make my religion easy for me by virtue of which my affairs are protected, set right for me my world where my life exists, make good for me my Hereafter which is my resort to which I have to return, and make my life prone to perform all types of good, and make death a comfort for me from every evil.[Muslim]

Commentary: This is a very comprehensive prayer which simply means: "O Allah! Help me spend all my life in complete devotion to You, doing what You like and avoiding what You dislike.''

`Allahumma-hdini wa saddidni (O Allah! Direct me to the Right Path and make me adhere to the Straight Path).'' Another narration is: `Allahumma inni as'aluk-alhuda was-sadad (I beg You for guidance and uprightness).''

"Allahumma inni a`udhu bika minal-ajzi wal-kasali, wal-jubni wal-harami, wal-bukhli, wa a`udhu bika min `adhabil-qabri, wa a`udhu bika min fitnatil-mahya wal-mamat.
[O Allah! I seek refuge in You from helplessness (to do good), indolence, cowardice, senility, and miserliness; and I seek Your Protection against the torment of the grave and the trials of life and death].'' Another narration adds: "wa dala`id-daini wa ghalabatir-rijal (And from the burden of indebtedness and the tyranny of men).''

Allahumm-aghfir li khati'ati, wajahli, wa israfi fi amri, wa ma Anta a`lamu bihi minni. Allahumm-aghfir li jiddi wa hazli, wa khata'i wa `amdi, wa kullu dhalika `indi. Allahumm-aghfir li ma qaddamtu wa ma akhkhartu, wa ma asrartu, wa ma a`lantu, wa ma Anta a`lamu bihi minni. Antal-Muqaddimu, wa Antal-Mu'akhkhiru; wa Anta `ala kulli shai'in Qadir.
O Allah! Forgive my errors, ignorance and immoderation in my affairs. You are better aware of my faults than myself. O Allah! Forgive my faults which I committed in seriousness or in fun deliberately or inadvertently. O Allah! Grant me pardon for those sins which I committed in the past and I may commit in future, which I committed in privacy or in public and all those sins of which You are better aware than me. You Alone can send whomever You will to Jannah, and You Alone can send whomever You will to Hell-fire and You are Omnipotent.

Commentary: The Prophet (PBUH) was sinless but still he prayed earnestly to Allah for the forgiveness of his shortcomings. In fact, he did so to educate his followers. This prayer is an expression of one's utter humbleness and sincere repentance of sins.

Allahumma inni audhu bika min sharri ma `amiltu, wa min sharri ma lam a`mal.
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the evil of that which I have done and the evil of that which I have not done.

Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min zawali ni`matika, wa tahawwuli `afiyatika, wa fuja'ati niqmatika, wa jami`i sakhatika.
O Allah! I seek refuge in You against the declining of Your Favours, passing of safety, the suddenness of Your punishment and all that which displeases You.
Commentary: This is also a very comprehensive prayer. Allah has blessed man with innumerable gifts. One becomes conscious of them when one is deprived of any of them, hence it is said that the value of a blessing is realized at its loss. For eyes, ears, tongue, health, property, children and such countless blessings, we owe gratitude to Allah. In the prayer cited in this Hadith, one entreats Allah not to deprive of any blessing given to him. `Afiyah means safe from disease, grief and troubles. "Passing of the safety (`Afiyah)'' signifies the change from a state of good health to a state of illness and weakness or that one is overtaken by troubles and afflictions.

Allahumma inni a`udhu bika minal-`ajzi wal-kasali, wal-bukhli wal-harami, wa `adhabil-qabri. Allahumma ati nafsi taqwaha, wa zakkiha Anta khairu man zakkaha, Anta waliyyuha wa maulaha. Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min `ilmin la yanfau`, wa min qalbin la yakhsha`u, wa min nafsin la tashba`u, wa min da`watin la yustajabu laha`.

O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the inability (to do good), indolence, cowardice, miserliness, decrepitude and torment of the grave. O Allah! Grant me the sense of piety and purify my soul as You are the Best to purify it. You are its Guardian and its Protecting Friend. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the knowledge which is not beneficial, and from a heart which does not fear (You), and from desire which is not satisfied, and from prayer which is not answered.''

Allahumma laka aslamtu, wa bika amantu, wa `alaika tawakkaltu, wa ilaika anabtu, wa bika khasamtu, wa ilaika hakamtu. Faghfir li ma qaddamtu, wa ma akh-khartu, wa ma asrartu wa ma a`lantu, Antal-Muqaddimu, wa Antal-Mu`akhkhiru, la ilaha illa Anta.

O Allah! to You I submit, in You I affirm my faith, in You I repose my trust, to You I turn in repentance and with Your Help I contend my adversaries and from You I seek judgement. O Allah! Grant me forgiveness for the faults which I made in past and those ones I may commit in the future, those which I committed secretly or openly. You Alone send whomever You will to Jannah, and You Alone send whomever You will to Hell-fire. There is none worthy of worship except You.'' Another narration adds: "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no strength to resist evil and no power to do good except through Allah).''

"Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min fitnatin-nari, wa `adhabin-nari, wa min sharril-ghina wal-faqri
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the trials and the torment of the Fire and from the evils of wealth and poverty)."
Commentary: "The evils of wealth'' signify that one becomes so captivated by wealth that in his struggle to acquire it, he fails to discriminate between the lawful and the unlawful, or one may become proud and arrogant on account of his riches. The evils of poverty that one loses hope of Allah's Mercy and Compassion, or shows resentment against his fate and the Will of Allah, or deviates from the principles and requirements of integrity and honesty.
Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min munkaratil-akhlaqi, wal-a`mali, wal-ahwa`i
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from undesirable manners, deeds, and aspirations.

Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min sharri sam`i, wa min sharri basari, wa min sharri lisani, wa min sharri qalbi, wa min sharri maniyyi
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the evils of my hearing, the evils of my seeing, the evils of my tongue; the evils of my heart and the evils of passions.

Allahumma inni a`udhu bika minal-barasi, wal-jununi, wal-judhami, wa sayyi'il-asqami'
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from leucoderma, insanity, leprosy and evil diseases.

"Allahumma inni a`udhu bika minal-ju`i, fa-innahu bi'sad-daji`u; wa a`udhu bika minal-khiyanati, fa-innaha bi'satil-bitanah'
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from hunger; surely, it is the worst companion. And I seek refuge in You from treachery; surely, it is a bad inner trait.''

`Ya muqallibal-qulubi, thabbit qalbi `ala dinika (O Controller of the hearts make my heart steadfast in Your religion).''

One of Prophet Dawud's supplications was: `Allahumma inni as'aluka hubbaka, wa hubba man yuhibbuka, wal-`amalalladhi yuballighuni hubbaka. Allahumm-aj`al hubbaka ahabba ilayya min nafsi, wa ahli, wa minal-ma'il-baridi
O Allah! I ask You for Your Love, the love of those who love You, and deeds which will cause me to attain Your Love. O Allah! Make Your Love dearer to me than myself, my family and the cold water.'

O Messenger of Allah! You have made many supplications of which we do not remember anything.'' He said, "Shall I tell you a comprehensive prayer? Say:
`Allahumma inni as'aluka min khairi ma sa'alaka minhu nabiyyuka Muhammadun sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam. Wa `a`udhu bika min sharri mas-ta`adha minhu nabiyyuka Muhammadun sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam. Wa Antal-Musta`anu, wa `alaikal-balaghu, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.
O Allah, I beg to You the good which Your Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) begged of You; and I seek refuge in You from the evil where from Your Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sought refuge. You are the One from Whom help is sought and Your is the responsibility to communicate (the truth). There is no power or strength except with Allah the Exalted, the Great.

Allahumma inni as'aluka mujibati rahmatika, wa `aza'ima maghfiratika, was-salamata min kulli ithmin, wal-ghanimata min kulli birrin, wal-fawza bil-jannati, wannajata mina-nar.
O Allah! I beg You for that which incites Your Mercy and the means of Your forgiveness, safety from every sin, the benefit from every good deed, success in attaining Jannah and deliverance from Fire.
