]as salam alykom brothers and sisters


I received this very interesting email, thought to share it with you all.

From the most important principles that should be followed when building relationships with people are:


Correct the relationship between yourself and Allah and Allah will then correct the relationship between yourself and others.


Studies have proved that every individual has his own unique pattern of understanding and that patterns are usually one of the following:


A visual pattern, i.e. one looks at the world and deals with it from a physical point of view.


A hearing pattern, i.e. one looks at the world and deals with it based on the words that one hears (one better understands by hearing).


An emotion-based pattern, i.e. one looks at the world through one's emotions and inner feelings.


If you succeed in understanding how a particular individual perceives things (i.e., which pattern one emphasizes), then you can more easily achieve harmony and understanding between the two of you, as well as achieve confidence in your relationship.


Put yourself in the place of others and let them hear from you what you like to hear from them, and behave with them the way you like them to behave with you.


Always keep smiling, especially during difficult situations and incidents.


Keep your calm and self control when provoked.


Always be sensitive to feelings of others, their rights and their needs.


Choose your words carefully, especially during the first encounter. Be cheerful when speaking and beware of dull facial expressions and tough looks even if your words are very nice.


When the atmosphere is not appropriate to talk about a particular subject, then it is better to end the talk about that subject in a courteous way and postpone it to a more appropriate time.


Decorate your talk with jokes and proverbs without making this overwhelming in your talk, and tell only the truth. This will induce an interactive discussion.


Give away gifts even if small ones and rush to help others even if in little ways, because these are means of winning hearts and of building relationships. It is related in Adab al-Mufrad of Al-Bukhari that the Prophet (may peace and blessing be upon him) said: "Give gifts as it will create love amongst you."


Spread Salam (Islamic greeting) and reply to a greeting with a better one. This is a key to winning others' hearts, so be eager to own this key.


Keep your promises and be truthful in your talk. This will make others love you even when you cannot accomplish what they want.


Be generous within your means. Even whatever little that you may give will put you in a high position in the hearts of people. No one can win the hearts of others while he is described as stingy and not generous.


Be simple and spontaneous in dealing with others. Being organized in your life will make you win others' respect, even that of your enemies.


Be clean in your body, mouth and clothing, be stylish without exaggeration, and put on a nice fragrance; all these will make others that are dealing with you more comfortable, instead of making them avoid you.


(my comment: women are not supposed to use fragrance in public)


These principles can be applied under all circumstances and in all roles - at work, at home, with our husband or our wife, our father, our sons, our friends, or with strangers

Assalamu Alaikum Sister Muslimah and the rest of the brothers and sisters.

An Open Letter to David Davis MP


David Davis MP said that Britain’s traditional policy of multiculturalism is now “outdated”. Gerald Howarth MP is of the opinion that Muslim should leave this country. The owner of local radio station, broadcasting in Copenhagen suggests killing Muslims in order to combat terrorism. He holds all Muslims responsible for the London blast. A damning new report by Professor Carl Parsons of Canterbury Christ Church University College has found that institutional racism exists within British schools. Britain’s ethnic minorities will always be perceived as outsiders.


Multiculturalism has always been defined and implemented wrongly by the British establishment. Multiculturalism involves a level of complexity which cannot be understood from the prospective of any single discipline. Instead, historical, cultural, linguistic, political, economic, educational, sociological and psychological factors and processes all play a critical role. Multiculturalism is not about integration but about cultural plurality. It is not about separation but about respect and the deepening awareness of Unity in Diversity. Each culture will maintain its own intrinsic value and at the same time would be expected to contribute to the benefit of the whole society. Multiculturalism can accommodate diversity of all kinds – cultural, philosophical and religious, so that we can create a world without conflict and strife. Britain can assume the role of accommodation and concern for all peoples, for our planet and indeed for our survival. We live in a rapidly changing world. British Muslims are ordinary people with the same sorts of ambitions, frustrations, failures and successes as anybody else. We are just like you, go to work, pay taxes, obey the law and just want to get on with our everyday life. We are hated simply for following Islam.


According to labour’s Karen Buck, Muslims in Britain are now at the sharper end of race hatred and xenophobia. West has many stereotypes, misconceptions about Islam that are due to the media, prejudice and ignorance. Islam is often looked upon as an extremist, terrorist religion. To fight malaria, one does not shoot down mosquitoes, one drains the swamps. Urgent government action is needed to tackle Islamophobia and “institutional disadvantages” suffered by British Muslim community. Now it has become widely accepted that, in Bernard Lewis’ words, “Europe will be Islamic by the end of the century”. The greater Islamist threat to the West is not violence-flattening buildings, bombing railroad stations and night clubs, seizing theaters and schools – but the peaceful, legal growth of power through education, the law, the media and the political system.

Peace to all Nonmuslims [img]style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img]


How are you all? Hopefully in the best of health (Insha'Allah) God willing.


I'm not going to start some religious debates on this thread or try prooving God to those who don't believe in him.


This is just a simple challenge to your life-style.


Here are the challenges


1) Fast a few days of Ramadan (try) (Ramadan is coming in October)


2) Trying Using Water when you go to the toilet


3) Try to be more modest & lower your gaze, (especially now that it's summer and everyone is flaunting their goods) a little bit too much


4) Try remmebering that Islam is perfect but Muslim's aren't


5) and lats but not least try reading the Quraan


Ok, I won't add more


Can you handle that? See this is not to convert you to Islam, but for me to see if u can take this challenge on.


I want you to try doing those things or atleast do some of it. I would also appreciate some feedback if thats ok, If you feel shy to say this on here, You can Pm me. Just to let me know what it was like to do some of those things for the first time.


I also need you to pledge that you will take part in this wholeheartly.


So who's taking part? [img]style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img]

I assume by "Israelian occupation" you are referring to the state of Israel. If so, then please be advised that, in the Koran, Allah (swt) clearly promises Israel to the Jews. The land belongs to them:

Quote:And thereafter We said to the Children of Israel: Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, We will gather you together in a mingled crowd. (Koran, Sura 17:104, "The Night Journey")

salaam all
