<b>Prophet Muhammad
</b>




May Peace Of Allah and Blessings Be upon him




<b>Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem:
</b>




I seek assistance in Allah the most gracious the most merciful, Verily all praise to Allah, we praise him seek his aid and ask for his forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves and the evil of our actions. Whomsoever Allah guides then there is none who can misguide him, and whomsoever Allah misguides then there is none who can guide him. I bear the witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone, having no partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad is his Slave and messenger, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.




In my last post I stopped at the point that we will refer to Qûran sciences, but before starting that issue, I thought that it is most important to refer first to the personality of our great Prophet Muhammad, and his characteristics and proof that he is truly Prophet and Messenger of God, since the main topic is to follow his steps(PBUH), may Allah be my Assistant and Guidance to what he loves and desires, ameen.




<b>First: His Moral
</b>




Now if we think in a rational way, we will say: Who can describe the Prophet(PBUH) better than the one and only God, Allah Subhanahu Wa T'ala, Allah (SWT) described Prophet Muhammad in The Holy Qûran as being in the highest rank of morals:




Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem :




<b>4. And verily, you (O Muhammad ) are on an exalted standard of character.,
</b> 68, Al-Qalam




translation of this ayah according to Ibn Katheer is:




Sa'id bin Abi Arubah reported from Qatadah that he said, "It has been mentioned to us that Sa'd bin Hisham asked A'ishah about the character of the Messenger of Allah , so she replied: 'Have you not read the Qur'an' Sa'd said: 'Of course.' Then she said: 'Verily, the character of the Messenger of Allah was the Qur'an.'" Abdur-Razzaq recorded similar to this and Imam Muslim recorded it in his Sahih on the authority of Qatadah in its full length. This means that
<b>he would act according to the commands and the prohibition in the Qur'an. His nature and character were patterned according to the Qur'an, and he abandoned his natural disposition
(i.e., the carnal nature). So whatever the Qur'an commanded, he did it, and whatever it forbade, he avoided it. Along with this,
Allah gave him the exalted character, which included the qualities of modesty, kindness, bravery, pardoning, gentleness and every other good characteristic.
This is like that which has been confirmed in the Two Sahihs that Anas said, "I served the Messenger of Allah for ten years,
and he never said a word of displeasure to me (Uff), nor did he ever say to me concerning something I had done: 'Why did you do that' And he never said to me concerning something I had not done:
'Why didn't you do this' He had the best character, and I never touched any silk or anything else that was softer than the palm of the Messenger of Allah . And I never smelled any musk or perfume that had a better fragrance than the sweat of the Messenger of Allah." Imam Al-Bukhari recorded that Al-Bara' said, "The Messenger of Allah had the most handsome face of all the people, and he had the best behavior of all of the people. And he was not tall, nor was he short.'' The Hadiths concerning this matter are numerous. Abu Isa At-Tirmidhi has a complete book on this subject called Kitab Ash-Shama'il. Imam Ahmad recorded that A'ishah said, "
The Messenger of Allah never struck a servant of his with his hand, nor did he ever hit a woman. He never hit anything with his hand, except for when he was fighting Jihad in the cause of Allah.
And he was never given the option between two things except that the most beloved of the two to him was the easiest of them, as long as it did not involve sin
If it did involve sin, then he stayed farther away from sin than any of the people. He would not avenge himself concerning anything that was done to him, except if the limits of Allah were transgressed.
Then, in that case he would avenge for the sake of Allah. Imam Ahmad also recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah said, (I have only been sent to perfect righteous behavior.) Ahmad was alone in recording this Hadith."

Second:Truthfulness and trustworthy





The Prophet(PBUH) was known to be the most truthful person in his time, he never told a lie in his whole life, and he was known to be as Al-Sadiq(truthful), Al-Ameen(trustworthy), people during his time, even the most arrogant used to beleive him as being truthful and trustworthy, they used to keep their money and gold with him if they were to travel for trading to Yemen or Al-Sham province, because they knew that they will come back and find their money and treasure safe not missing one fils. How then can he be accused of a liar and wanting worldly gains, Allah forbid, he could at least ask for interest or gain on basis of safe keeping their money just as banks and investment companies do nowadays in managing portfolios and safe custody service. But no it is not him that will care about wealth or worldly gains, never did he prostrate to an idol, never did he commit any sin. The following hadeeth is when Allah Subhanahu Wa T'ala ordered him to spread the word of Islam:




<b>"Ibn Abbas (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that when the Verse: "And warn your tribe of near kindred.” (26:214) was revealed, Allah’s Messenger (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) went out, and when he had ascended As-Safa mountain, he shouted, "O Sabahah!" The people said, "Who is that?” "Then they gathered around him, whereupon he said, "Do you see? If I inform you that cavalrymen are proceeding up the side of this mountain, will you believe me” They said, “We have never heard you telling a lie.” Then he (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, "I am a plain warner to you of a coming severe punishment.” Abu Lahab said, "May you perish! You gathered us only for this reason?” Then Abu Lahab went away. So the Surat: "Perish the hands of Abu Lahab!” (111:1) was revealed.” (Bukhari 6/495) "</b>





Even then — in Al-Jahiliyah — they used to turn to him for judgment and consultation. In a version by At-Tirmidhi, he says that ‘Ali had said that he had been told by Abu Jahl that he (Abu Jahl) said to Allah’s Messenger(Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):<b> “We do not call you a liar; but we do not have faith in what you have brought.”
</b>In His Book, Allâh, the Exalted, said about them:




Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem :




<b>33. We know indeed the grief which their words cause you (O Muhammad ): it is not you that they deny, but it is the Verses (the Qur'ân) of Allâh that the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong­doers) deny 6, Al-An'am
</b>




Even when Heraclius asked Abu Sufyan:<b> “Have you ever accused him of lying before the ministry of Prophethood?” Abu Sufyan said: “No.”
</b>




He was most modest and far from being arrogant or proud. He forbade people to stand up at his presence as other people usually do for their kings. Visiting the poor, the needy and entertaining them are some of his habits. If a slave invited him, he would accept the invitation. The Prophet (PBUH) is known to have always told the truth even when joking with his companions, he even cursed those who make lies just to make people laugh:




"Abu Hurairah (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that when they said,<b> “Messenger of Allah, do you make jokes with us!” He (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) replied, “I say nothing but the truth.”
</b>(Tirmidhi 4885)




Mu'awiyah Ibn Jaydah al-Qushayri (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, <b>“Woe to him who tells things, speaking falsely, to make people laugh thereby. Woe to him! Woe to him!”
</b> (Abu Dawud 4972)"




Then it is our responsibilities as true Muslims to follow the model of our beloved Prophet and never tell a lie:




Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem




<b>119.O you who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are truthful.
</b> ,9: Surat Altauba




<b>33.That Allah will reward the people of Truth for their Truth, and punish the Hypocrites if that be His Will, or turn to them in Mercy; for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
</b> ,33: Surat Al-Ahzab.




Abu Hurairah (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, <b> “A Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe and a believer is one in whom people place their trust in regard to their life and wealth.”
</b> (Tirmidhi 33 and Nasa'i).




We should never attribute something that has no basis in the Qur’an and the Sunnah to the Prophet (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam), or to Islam as a whole. We should take admonitions from the following warnings:




Ali (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that the Prophet (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, <b> “Do not tell a lie against me for whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then he will surely enter the Hell-fire.”
</b> (Bukhari 1/106 and Ibn Majah 1/31)




Salama (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that he heard the Prophet (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) saying,<b> “Whoever (intentionally) ascribes to me what I have not said then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire.”
</b> (Bukhari 1/109)




Wathila bin Al Asqa (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, <b> “Verily, one of the worst lies is to claim falsely to be the son of someone other than one’s real father; or to claim to have had a dream one has not had; or to attribute to me what I have not said.”
</b> (Bukhari 4/712)




Abdullah ibn Abbas (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) said:<b> "Be mindful when transmitting a Hâdîth from me. (Transmit) only that which you know (very well) for he who intentionally lies about me will find his abode in Hell-Fire.”
</b> (Tirmidhi 232).




We must include in our prayers and ask Allah to give us the best of characters and manners, in everything we do or speak we must fear Allah we must be honest with ourselves and others never telling lies. Telling lies do great harms to us especially in the eternal world. If we die without asking Allah’s forgiveness and we are recorded in His presence as liars, then we will have a terrible punishment in the Hereafter. As much as possible, we must avoid telling lies. We must take warning from the following Hâdîth:




Samura bin Jundub (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that the Prophet (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) said,<b> “I saw (in a dream) two men came to me.”
</b> Then the Prophet (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) narrated the story (saying),<b> “They said, 'The person, the one whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to the ear) was a liar and used to tell lies. And the people would report those lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection.’”
</b> (Bukhari)8/118




<b>Third: His roots and who is his descendants
</b>




Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem:




 




35. And (remember) when Ibrâhim (Abraham) said: "O my Lord! Make this city (Makkah) one of peace and security, and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols.




36. "O my Lord! They have indeed led astray many among mankind. But whoso follows me, he verily is of me. And whoso disobeys me, - still You are indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.




37. "O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your Sacred House (the Ka'bah at Makkah); in order, O our Lord, that they may perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allâh) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks.[?COLOR] 14, Surat Ibrahim




 




" The Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) was born on April 22, 570 A.D. ( 9th Rabi Al-Awwal) in Makkah. His early life is characterized by loss. The Prophet's (pbuh) father died before he was born, and as an orphan he was left to the care of his mother, Amina, and his grandfather, Abdul-Muttalib"[?COLOR] read the rest of this article at:

<b>Fourth: His descent to Abraham(PBUH)
</b>




He is Muhammad bin Abdallah, bin Abdulmutaleb, bin Hashem, bin Abd manaf, Ibn Qusay Ibn Kilab, Bin Murra, Bin Ka'ab, Ibn Lo'ay, bin Ghaleb bin Fahr, Bin malik Ibn Al-Nader Ibn Kinana Ibn Khuzayma bin Mudraka Bin Elias, Bin Mader bin Nizar Bin Ma'ed, Ibn Adnan. this is the chain to his hounorable root, and their is no doubt that Adnan is from Prophet Ismael's sons who is in his turn the son of our father Abraham(PBUH).





<b><span style="color:#FF0000;">Fifth: His Appearance:

<b><span style="color:#FF0000;">Muhammad (pbuh) was of a height a little above the average. He was of sturdy build with long muscular limbs and tapering fingers. The hair of his head was long and thick with some waves in them. His forehead was large and prominent, his eyelashes were long and thick, his nose was sloping, his mouth was somewhat large and his teeth were well set. His cheeks were spare and he had a pleasant smile. His eyes were large and black with a touch of brown. His beard was thick and at the time of his death, he had seventeen gray hairs in it. He had a thin line of fine hair over his neck and chest. He was fair of complexion and altogether was so handsome that Abu Bakr composed this couplet on him:

"As there is no darkness in the moonlit night so is Mustafa, the well-wisher, bright." read the rest of the article below:

This is in short the characteristics of Prophet Mohammad, (PBUH), and if we want to talk in detail we will never finish this thread, Him Being raised in a noble family, who never asked for worldly gains is a liar(Ao'tho Billah Min thalik) God forbid, he is the most exalted, pure hearted, honest, kind hearted, brave, gentle, modest, forgiving, generous, sacrificing, modest, humorous, sincere, just, shy, truthful, courageous character that ever existed, and no matter how much we speak of him or describe him we will not give him enough attribute that he deserve, he is the savior for all humanity, and those who deny his Prophethood will not harm anyone but themselves:





Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem:





<b><span style="color:#FF0000;">19.And those who believe in Allah and His messengers they are the Truthful and the martyrs in the eyes of their Rabb. They shall have their Reward and their Light. But those who reject Allah and deny Our Signs, they are the Companions of Hell-Fire.,
</b></span>57: Surat Al-Hadeed





 




18.Who does more wrong than those who invent a lie against Allah? They will be turned back to the Presence of their Rabb and the witnesses will say, ‘These are the ones who lied against their Rabb!’ Behold! The curse of Allah is on those who do wrong!, 11: Surat Hud





Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem:





 




4. And verily, you (O Muhammad ) are on an exalted standard of character.





5. You will see, and they will see,





6. Which of you is afflicted with madness.





7. Verily, your Lord knows better, who (among men) has gone astray from His Path, and He knows better those who are guided.





8. So (O Muhammad ) obey not the deniers [(of Islâmic Monotheism those who belie the Verses of Allâh), the Oneness of Allâh, and the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad ), etc.]





9. They wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so they (too) would compromise with you.





10. And obey not everyone who swears much, and is considered worthless,





11. A slanderer, going about with calumnies,





12. Hinderer of the good, transgressor, sinful,





13. Cruel, after all that base-born (of illegitimate birth),





14. (He was so) because he had wealth and children.





15. When Our Verses (of the Qur'ân) are recited to him, he says: "Tales of the men of old!"





16. We shall brand him over the nose! , 68, Al-Qalam





When the battle of Bader took place, Al-Waleed Ibn Mugheera was killed and he was branded on his nose, the verses of Surat Al-Qalam revelation was before The battle of Bader took place. In one of his lectures to us scholar sayed Noh said that in the verse from ayas 10 to 16 is describing Al-Waleed Ibn Mugheera , him being of illigitimate birth, no one ever knew that this man was not the son of his father, even Waleed himself, when this verse was revealed he went to his mother and asked her if it was true, because deep down in him he knew that this is the true word of Allah and that Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) is not a liar, she admitted and said the truth and that she had him from adultry, who told the prophet, how did he know, a secret that nobody knew and was never revealed, Allah the All-Knower, he sees everything he knows everything, Indeed Prophet Muhammad is a messenger Of God. No matter what various wicked ways the enemies of Islam come up with to prove the contrary, it is clear and obvious as the shining sun.

<b><span style="color:#FF0000;">AL-WALEED BIN AL-MUGHERAH SAYING ABOUT THE QUR'AN
</span></b>





 




" The proclamation of the call to Islam had only been a few months old when the season of pilgrimage was soon to come. The Quraish knew that Arab delegates were coming within a short time. They agreed that it was necessary to device a plan that was bound to keep the Arab pilgrims away from the new faith preached by Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). They went to see Al-Waleed bin Al-Mugheerah to discuss this issue who suggested that agree on a resolution that could enjoy the approval of all of them. However, they were at variance. Some suggested that they describe Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) as a soothsayer; but this suggestion was turned down on the grounds that his words were not so rhymed. Others proposed Majnun, i.e., possessed by jinn; this was also rejected because no insinuations peculiar to that state of mind were detected, they claimed. “Why not say he is a poet?” Some said. Here again they could not reach a common stand, alleging that his words were totally outside poetry. “OK. Then let us accuse him of practicing witchcraft,” was a fourth suggestion. Here also Al-Waleed showed some reluctance saying that the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) was known to have never involved himself in the practice of blowing on the knots and admitted that his speech was like a sweet tasting root and branch. He however, found that the most plausible charge to be leveled against Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was witchcraft. The ungodly company agreed to propagate one uniform formula projecting that Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was a magician so powerful and commanding in his art that he would successfully alienate sons from fathers, brothers from brothers, wife from her husband and man from his clan. It is noteworthy in this regard to say that Allah revealed sixteen verses as regards Al-Waleed and the cunning method he devised to misguide the people expected to arrive in Makkah for pilgrimage."

this has deeply upset me please tell me why does the quran teach these things?


i have also found this which is very interesting of what will happen to us all soon my brothers please read this:


once my brothers have read through this then we can talk to each other ok.


you cant deny the truth.

I AM A MUSLIM and am sick of people who think islam is a terrorists association.


On Wednesday, armed men seized a school building in Russia and took several hundred people hostage, including children. The media continually refers to these terrorists as “Chechen” terrorists. I have yet to see any in the media point out the most important aspect of these terrorists, except as an aside: they are Muslim.


Seeing as it was Muslim terrorists who flew airplanes into the World Trade Center; Muslim terrorists who bombed a train in Spain; and Muslim terrorists who have beheaded innocent civilians, Muslim terrorists who blew bombs in Bali, Turkey and Riyadh, this information about is obviously relevant – to put it lightly.


Can someone answer me why the fact that these terrorists are Muslims is always muddled in the media? We (and when I say “we,” I mean the entire civilized part of the world) are not at war with a country. We are at war with an ideology, Islamic terrorism, which is akin to NAZIism or communism. The people who want to see us dead are not “Chechens.” They are Muslims.


Imagine you are a parent and your little child is held hostage. Muslim terrorists round up him or her, along with all of his or her classmates; kill people; and threaten to bomb the whole building if troops attack. This is an evil of which no atrocity committed in the name of Christianity, that I know of, has rivaled – particularly in its sheer maliciousness. And yet we are still scared to name the enemy?


I have already heard leftists blame Russia for what happened. Leftists have unyielding support for Islamic terrorists and an undying hatred for any civilized nation. Tip toeing around, not identifying who and what the enemy is, is to fall right into the hands of people who would rather see you, and all of Western civilization, destroyed.


George W. Bush has said he does not believe terrorism will ever be completely eradicated. I have a suggestion for him or anyone who wants to defeat terrorism. First you have to identify who the enemy is. Then you can conquer them.

As salam alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuhu


plz can someone tell me are we suppose to fast and do zikur on this day which is 11-09-04.

This forum reminded me of a funny story. I went to school with this muslim kid from Somalia. He was on the high school wrestling team and it was a few days before a big match. Now, as many of you may know, wrestlers have to be very careful about what they eat, because if they are even a half a pound over their weight class, they are disqualified. What I should also mention, is that it happened to be ramadaan (sp?). So the day of the match comes, he goes in to be officially weighed....... 6 lbs overweight. The coach turns to him and says "Dude, you GAINED weight during wrestling season... AND RAMADAAN?" The kid just kind of shrugged his shoulders and was like "Ok, I cheated a little." I think it was more than just a "little" cheating. Maybe a few pizzas worth of cheating. hahahaha!

I am trying to learn as much as i can about Islam and the muslim faith. I am gettin mixed messages about the beard. I was wondering to be a "true muslim do you have to grow a beard?

A UK-based Islamic extremist movement said that last week's abduction of Russian children by Chechen terrorists should be repeated in Britain.


Al-Muhajiroun spiritual leader Omar Bakri hailed last week's attack on a school in southern Russia in which close to 400 people, including many children, were killed, and said that holding women and children hostages would be reasonable for a Muslim who has suffered under British rule.


Bakri told The Sunday Telegraph, "If an Iraqi Muslim carried out an attack like that in Britain, it would be justified because Britain has carried out acts of terrorism in Iraq. ... As long as the Iraqi did not deliberately kill women and children, and they were killed in the crossfire, that would be OK."


"The mujahedeen [Chechen terrorists] would not have wanted to kill those people, because it is strictly forbidden as a Muslim to deliberately kill women and children. It is the fault of the Russians," said Bakri.


Al-Muhajiroun maintains a branch in Queens, New York that claims to be involved in "only peaceful activities." The group holds closed-door meetings and study sessions at a mosque in Jackson Heights, Queens, led by an older spiritual cleric identified as a Sheikh Choudray.


The Queens branch youth leader, Abu Yousuf, a U.S. citizen who says he attended a "camp" in Sudan and takes computer courses at the City University of New York, speaks at universities throughout New York City at events usually sponsored by the Muslim Student Association.


At one Al-Muhajiroun event at Queensborough Community College sponsored by the MSA and attended by WND, a Muhajiroun speaker working with Yousuf said, "We reject the U.N., reject America, reject all law and order. Don't lobby Congress or protest because we don't recognize Congress! The only relationship you should have with America is to topple it!"


The speaker continued, "The so-called terrorists are the only people who truly fear Allah. ... They are the only worthy causes, and the mighty superpower only fears them."


In a private interview with WND, a Queens-based Al-Muhajiroun leader said he would be "absolutely honored" to give up his life in a "martyr operation" against American civilians. The leader warned that "a jihad is coming to America because of the moves of the Bush administration."


As WorldNetDaily reported, Al-Muhajiroun announced plans to host a convention in London titled, "The Choice is in Your Hands: Either You're with the Muslims or with the Infidels," to celebrate the third anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.


Said Bakri: "On this day, we will talk about the ramifications of these [9-11] operations for Afghanistan and Iraq. ... We want the world to remember this operation ... that lifted the head of the [Muslim] nation."

<b>Reasons for wearing the hijab
</b>


<b>[compilation from various muslimahs]</b> lol some of them are so hillerious ( you sisters can add your own too if you like)


<b>1.</b> Because the Qur'an and Sunnah states so. Allah ordered us to wear the hijab and cover up to protect ourselves so we get the proper respect we deserve and not be treated like we are a piece of meat.


<b>2. </b>You can dye your hair any colour you want and no one can say anything at all, because its all hidden, you can have blue hair, or purple, or bright red, or neon pink or green, long or permed or short, or rainbow colors with sparkles and glitter, jewellery in your ears, and all over....


<b>3.</b> Children think you are a ninja, and you can say you are 'niqabi ninja' They will think of you as this heroine and will admire you.


<b>4. </b>People think it is your costume. Or at least some will think of it as a costume you are wearing for your party, or work, or that you were forced to wear it. LOL and you have to explain to them no it is your CHOICE to wear it though in the Qur'an it says it will Protect you.


<b>5. </b>People think you might be bald, but then you have to tell them no, I have hair...no I don't have cancer. You can show to the little kids, see I have hair....


<b>6.</b> You get a lot of respect in the hijab from all your brothers and sisters and other people, than you did before your hijabi days


<b>7. </b>You can wear whatever you like under the abayah, light and cool dresses are good.


<b>8. </b>Despite that this world has hot weather, HELL IS HOTTER, so you rather suffer a bit on this world than the Hereafter.


<b>9. </b>Have you noticed that some people that are really maybe ignorant about Islam and women and Muslims that they speak extra loudly and clearly to you wherever you go. "Wwwoould yooooou llike ttthat in beeeeeels/noooottes or ch change ma 'am?" "I speak english clearly, change please."


<b>10. </b>No bad hair days to worry about!.


<b>11. </b>People know that you're a Muslim. You can distinguish yourself in this society.


<b>12. </b>Your hair isn't exposed all kinds of crappy pollution and UV rays.


<b>13. </b>Your hijabs smell nice cause they start smelling like your shampoo.


<b>14.</b> Only the people you want to see your awrah, will see it...not every wierdo walking on the street.


<b>15.</b> your skin is protected under the niqab


<b>16. </b>No bugs in your hair (no having to worry about catching nits from other people!)


<b>17. </b>you won't age prematuredly, since you don't wear makeup


<b>18. </b>you won't have to waste time in the morning deciding on the perfect outfit in the morning, if you wear jilbab.


<b>19. </b>because you know your beautiful and you can keep all that beauty to yourself.


<b>20. </b>No one dares to mess with a hijabi sis while taking a walk.


<b>22. </b>you will feel a closeness to every muhajabah you see on the road and to every muslim you ever encounter


<b>23. </b>The inner feeling of peace you get when you wear it


<b>24. </b>little girls or little boys look up to you, and want to be like you.


<b>25. </b>When guys see you, they respect you, they cross the street so they dont pass by you and offend you.


<b>26. </b>They see muslims as trustworthy people and give you discounts at stores, and restaurants, and esp if you are in hijab they give you like 5 or 10 dollars/pounds off what you buy.


<b>27.</b> because most pious brothers WON'T EVEN CONSIDER marriage with a non-hijabi (caution: your intention for wearing hijab should still be to observe the command of Allah)


<b>28. </b>If you ever get in trouble.. you can pretend like you dont know any English and either flip out on them in Arabic/Urdu/any other language or run away crying as if they offended you.


<b>29. </b>Because theres more freedom in deciding who gets to see you rather than having anyone look at you and your beauty.


<b>30.</b> People treat you for your mind not your body. In the sense that you succeed in things (ie. job because of your performance and intelligence and not because how short your mini skirt is.


<b>31.</b> Because Muslims are required to practice Islam in every aspect of ur life including everyone, not just nuns like in Christainity or only on saturday. for Jews, or only Sunday for Catholics all of whom cover on those days, I am told as a respect to God. Muslimahs should respect God at all times.


<b>32. </b>Beauty fades eventually, and with hijab people learn to love your inner beauty without the hindereness of your outer beauty.


<b>33. </b>Your husband and loved ones learn to appreciate your beauty both outside and in more, and these tend to be the most important people in your life of which you grace those special people with your gifts from Allah.


<b>34. </b> You are a shining example how women in Islam are sooooo highly respected and valued and powerful in islam. For example you are no mans torphy to adorn his hand, you are a companion, mother and friend of the insha'Allah religous brother who appreciates you and your beauty. There are other things where this applies as well.


<b>35.</b> Thourghout history those that where scandalessly dressed and showing off there beauty, etc. tended to be the whores and prostitutes of the street, dancing girls etc., and those that were coverd tended to be the pious, respected women of history and many times they were the more powerfull then the other. (Sorry if I offeneded anyone with this one just a thought that has been in my head. I am not saying that these days that the people that don't dress correctly do things that I mentioned, I am just saying in history in the past this tened to be the case).


<b>36.</b> Hijab is a source of confidence. Non-Muslims easily recognize you to be different and do not stare when you stand up for you Islamic rights and beliefs which are often considered strange in the western society.


<b>37. </b>It keeps you warm in the winter. You dont have to worry about trying to keep a hat on to stop your ears from freezing up! Plus the head is medically known for the place where a HIGH level of heat is released from the body!

What does Islam say about the mentally retarded people who cannot follow Islam due to lack of mental understanding. According to Islam, are people who are so mentally handicapped that they are incapable of answering a question, let alone praying, capable of being muslims? Do they get to go to heaven even if they never have prayed once in their life? What if a mentally retarded person rejects Islam for no reason other than their retardation makes them say odd things?
