arrrrrrgh

Assalamualaikom wr wb/Salam



It is really get into my nerve when a muslimah fully cover her awrah but still some brothers try to catch her attention by saying salam, or asking where she s wanna go.Please,brothers we, real muslimah do not need all those.It s really make us sad, you know.And wishing we were in Rasulullah SAW period, where muslimah can go out without disturbed by man.
Allah SWT says :Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do.(Nur:24:30)
really , the best place of woman is her home.
What do you think? Man nowaday is....

A Story Worth Reading

Since last night my young son has been unwell. When I got back from Work this evening I decided to take him to hospital despite my exhaustion.

There were many waiting; perhaps we will be delayed by more than an hour. I took my number and sat down in the waiting room. There were many faces, young and old, but all silent. Some brothers made use of the many booklets available in the waiting room.


Some of those waiting had their eyes closed, while others were looking around. Most were bored. Once in a while the long silence was broken by a nurse calling out a number. Happiness appears on the one whose turn it is, and he gets up quickly; then silence returns.

A young man grabbed my attention. He was reading a pocket-sized Qur`an continuously; not raising his head even once. At first I did not think much about him. However, after one hour of waiting my casual glances turned into a deep reflection about his lifestyle and how he utilizes his time. One hour of life wasted! Instead of making benefit of that hour, it was just a boring wait. Then the call for prayer was made. We went to prayer in the hospital's Masjid. I tried to pray close to the man who was reading the Qur'an earlier in the waiting room.


After the prayer I walked with him. I informed him of how impressed I was of him and how he tries to benefit from his time. He told me that most of our time is wasted without any benefit. These are days that go from our lives without being conscious of them or regretting their waste. He said that he started carrying the pocket-sized Qur`an around when a friend encouraged him to make full use of his time. He told me that in the time other people waste he gets to read much more of the Qur`an than he gets to read either at home or in the masjid. Moreover, besides the reward of reading the Qur`an, this habit saves him from boredom and stress.


He added that he has now been waiting for one and a half hours. Then he asked, when will you find one and a half hours to read the Qur`an? I reflected; How much time do we waste? How many moments of our lives pass by, and yet we do not account for how
they passed by? Indeed, how many months pass by and we do not read the Qur`an? I came to respect my companion, and I discovered that I am to stand for account and that time is not in my hand; so what am I waiting for?


My thoughts were interrupted by the nurse calling out my number; I went to the doctor. But I want to achieve something now. After I left the hospital I quickly went to the bookshop and bought a pocket-sized Qur`an. I decided to be mindful of how I spend the time.

7 Tips for Improving your Relationship with the Qur'an

Salam

Are you one of those people who rarely touches the Qur'an? Or do you read daily, but don't find it is having the impact on you that it should? Whatever the case may be, these are some simple tips that can help you connect with the Qur'an.


1. Before you touch it, check your heart. The key to really benefiting from the Qur'an is to check your heart first, before you even touch Allah's book. Ask yourself, honestly, why you are reading it. Is it to just get some information and to let it drift away from you later? Remember that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was described by his wife as a "walking Qur'an": in other words, he didn't just read and recite the Qur'an, he lived it.

2. Do your Wudu (ablution). Doing your Wudu is good physical and mental preparation to remind you you're not reading just another book. You are about to interact with God, so being clean should be a priority when communicating with Him.

3. Read only 5 minutes everyday. Too often, we think we should read Qur'an for at least one whole hour. If you aren't in the habit of reading regularly, this is too much. Start off with just five minutes daily. If you took care of step one, Insha Allah (God willing), you will notice that those five minutes will become ten, then half an hour, then an hour, and maybe even more!

4. Make sure you understand what you've read. Five minutes of reading the Qur'an in Arabic is good, but you need to understand what you're reading. Make sure you have a good translation of the Qur'an in the language you understand best. Always try to read the translation of what you've read that day.

5. Remember, the Qur'an is more interactive than a CD. In an age of "interactive" CD-Roms and computer programs, a number of people think books are passive and boring. But the Qur'an is not like that. Remember that when you read Qur'an,you are interacting with Allah. He is talking to you, so pay attention.

6. Don't just read, listen too. There are now many audio cassettes and CDs of the Qur'an, a number of them with translations as well. This is great to put on your walkman or your car's CD or stereo as you drive to and from work. Use this in addition to your daily Qur'an reading, not as a replacement for it.

7. Make Dua (supplication). Ask Allah to guide you when you read the Qur'an. Your aim is to sincerely, for the love of Allah, interact with Him by reading, understanding and applying His blessed words. Making Dua to Allah for help and guidance will be your best tool for doing this.

Ramadhan tips

Bismillahir rahmanirrahim...
Salam/Assalamualaykum all

Ramadan is a month when we should come back to the very essence of our life because we are entering a month that everything is about the essential dimension, the very essence of this Islamic teaching and then you should transform Ramadan into a school, a school of life, that is, just how we have to behave. Ramadan is the month of lights not a month between brackets.



There are four things that need to be done in Ramadan that make you a better person. First is seclusion, every one of us needs an hour for himself. The second thing is silence, we talk too much. We need to watch our tongue because a word may slip out of your mouth that can drop you into hell for a hundred years. Number three is hunger. Because when we are eating all the time, we are not noticing what we are doing. As the Prophet (PBUH) said a person only needs few mouthfuls.

Number four, which is the best, it is thinking. If you are keeping silent, if you are keeping hungry a little bit and if you are secluding yourself, what you need to do is to think, to reflect, to ponder. I believe the majority of human beings do not reflect. We are in a time where we are in a rush all the time.

Welcoming Ramadhan

Bismillahir rahmanirrahim...
Assalamualaykum/Salam



Hey everyone, on August 11 2010, we will entering the month of Ramadhan,the month when every Muslim around the world fasting.It is the big event for us, Muslim as it is our month.He [the Holy Prophet] said Rajab is Allah's month, Sha'ban is my month, and Ramadan is the month of the Ummah.
It s the month all people forgive each other and restraint ourselves from bad things.I am sure one of the obstacles for Muslims today is that they are not finding it in their hearts to forgive one another.
Ramadan is the month of mercy and forgiveness. If you are unable to give, give it in Ramadan, if you are unable to share, share it in Ramadan, if you are unable to go out of your way to do the things that you were not able to do before, do it in Ramadan. I just ponder this word and reflect my self: How do you expect Allah to forgive you when you do not forgive your spouse, your relatives, or your kids?

Ramadhan mubarak everyone!!!May Allah bless all of us,amen.I wanna apologize if there s any mistake I did.
