Peace be upon you my dear Human being.

we as Muslims must take advantage of the Cyber Space world such as the Internet.How can we exploit this advantage?

Please share me your thoughts.

Thanks

Dear All,

Just to share this with you.

I suggest you read the Tim Lahayye Book: The Left Behind Prophecy series, book number 1. And learn more about some Christians perspective of Israel and learn why majority of Americans want to Back up Israel blindly.This book is very helpfull and can give more details about the Christian prophecy of End days(i.e the Signs of the End day) as for the christian beliefe.

Ur brother,

once upon a time...

there was a rich King who had 4 wives

He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighbouring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day

she would leave him for another.

He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidante and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her to help him get through the difficult times.

One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short.

He thought of his luxurious life and pondered, "I now have 4 wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone.

Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"

"No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.

Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.

The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"

"No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good!

When you die, I'm going to remarry!"

His heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me

and keep me company?"

"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave."

Her answer came like a bolt of thunder and the King was devastated.

Then a voice called out:

"I'll leave with you and follow you no matter where you go." The King looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny,

she suffered from malnutrition.

Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!"

In Truth, we all have 4 wives in our lives ...

Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.

Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth.

When we die, it will all go to others.

Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

And our 1st wife is our Soul,

often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the ego.

However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go.

*ALL WELCOME

*BY BOOKINGS ONLY.

1. THE MEN & WOMEN AROUND THE PROPHET (saw) - Kitab Al Fada'il Al-Sahabah

The Sahaabah were the companions of Prophet (saw). They are the source of

our knowledge, inspiration and guidance for all Muslims anytime.

In Surah Al-Tawba verse 100 of the Qur'an Allah swt says: The vanguard (of

Islam)- the first of those who forsook (their homes) and of those who gave

them aid, and (also) those who follow them in (all) good deeds,-

well-pleased is Allah with them, as are they with Him: for them hath He

prepared gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: that is

the supreme felicity.

Abu Sa'id (ra), reported: Allah's Messenger (saw) said: None should revile

my Companions, for if one among you were to spend as much gold as Uhud, it

would not amount to as much as one mud of one of them or half of it. [

Hadith number in Sahih Muslim: 4611 ]

Who were these 'Men' & 'Women' around the Prophet (saw) ? What was so

special about them ? What did they do ? Can we relate to them ? Is it

possible to reach their status ?

of Islam. The book is known as "An-Nawawi's Forty Hadiths".

3. WHAT MUSLIM BELIEVE - AQEEDAH: An Introduction to the Islamic Belief

Alhamdulillah, over recent years many 'born' Muslims have rediscovered

Islam and many 'reverts/converts' have come into the Deen. It seems

that for many the starting point of learning Islam is always the

biggest obstacle. 'Where do I start from?' is a common question that

is always asked. This one-day intensive course aims to answer this

and many other vital questions.

The objective of this course is to provide a deeper understanding of

the Islamic Belief (Aqeedah) and will cover the following areas:

1. Pillars of Belief - General overview

2. Belief in Allah (swt) - Names and attributes

3. Belief in the Angels - Attributes and features

refreshing to offer to everyone insha'Allah.

4. THE ETIQUETTES OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE

There is a certain amount of etiquette for seeking knowledge which the

seeker of knowledge should follow. To adorn oneself with beautiful

etiquette, noble manners, good behavior and pious conduct are distinguishing

characteristics of the people of Islaam, and knowledge - the most precious

pearl in the crown cannot be attained except by those who adorn themselves

with its etiquette and those who leave evil qualities associated to it. For

this reason the scholars devoted their attention to this etiquette,

outlined its importance and wrote books solely on this topic;

either pertaining to [general conduct] with all types of knowledge or to

specific types

of knowledge such as the etiquette of the carriers of the Noble Quran, the

etiquette of the

muhaddith, the etiquette of the muftee, the etiquette of the qaadee (judge),

the etiquette of the muhtasib (the one who enjoins good and forbids evil for

The blessed Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned that 'The believer who

recites the Qur'an and applies it is like the utrujja (fruit), whose smell

is fragrant and taste is sweet .' (Bukhari)

Utrujj is based upon the teachings of the above Hadith in seeking to equip

you with the sacred knowledge of Islam, while simultaneously training you in

it's implementation in your daily lives. As a result of this dynamic

approach your personality should insh'Allah come to personify this sacred

knowledge.

The change this creates will be witnessed by those around you as they smell

the sweet fragrance of your good speech and taste the sweetness of your

exemplary actions. Such a change within individuals is critical in realising

our covenant with Allah and for the spreading of Islam, especially here in

the West.

الشيشة أو الأرجيلة

كتب/ د. أحمد علي أحمد اختصاصي أمراض وحساسية الصدر بمؤسسة حمد الطبية/ الدوحة، قطر.

من المظاهر المؤسفة والتي بدأت بالانتشار في المجتمعات العربية مؤخرا إنتشار ظاهرة تدخين الشيشة وانتشار مقاهي الشيش حتى أصبح هذا الأمر اعتياديا ومن العادات الاجتماعية التي أصبح لا أحد يستهجنها أو يستنكرها. والأدهى من ذلك انتشار هذه الآفة الضارة بين النساء في المجتمعات العربية, حتى أصبح منظر النساء المدخنات للشيشة أمرا اعتياديا في كثير من المجتمعات العربية.

قد يكون أحد مسببات هذا الأمر هو الجهل بمخاطر تدخين الشيشة. ولكن هناك أمر آخر لا يقل خطورة في تفسير انتشار هذه الظاهرة, وهو إذا نحن سلمنا بحقيقة أن التبغ يسبب الادمان فان التدخين السلبي في بيئة الشيش أمر واضح للعيان. فإن مدخني الشيش يجلسون في العادة في مجموعات من الأفراد المدخنين وغير المدخنين ومع مضي الوقت في التدخين فإن الجو يتشبع بالدخان وهنا تكمن خطورة التدخين السلبي (اللاإرادي). فمن الثابت علميا الآن أن التبغ يحوي مادة النيكوتين وهي المادة المسؤولة عن الادمان. وهكذا مع استمرار التعرض للدخان فإن غير المدخنين ممن يخالطون ويجالسون المدخنين يقعون فريسة للتدخين بعد فترة من الزمن.

ويعتقد البعض أن استعمال الشيشة أو الأرجيلة قليل الضرر بالمقارنة مع منتجات التبغ الأخرى كالسجائر والسيجار والغليون, لكن العلم والحقيقة تشير إلى عكس ذلك, فجميع منتجات التبغ مختلفة بالشكل ولكنها متشابهة في الضرر. ويكفي أن نعلم أن التدخين بالشيشة في جلسة تستغرق ساعتين أو ثلاثة ساعات يعادل تدخين من 10 - 20 سيجارة.

مكونات تبغ الشيشة والدخان الناتج عن احتراقها

لا تختلف هذه المكونات عن مكونات تبغ السجائر ودخانها, حيث أن بها ما لا يقل عن 4000 مادة سامة, أهمها النيكوتين وغاز أول أكسيد الكربون والقطران والمعادن الثقيلة والمواد المشعة والمسرطنة والمخرشة والمواد الكيميائية الزراعية ومبيدات الحشرات وغيرها الكثير من المواد السامة.

تدعي بعض شركات إنتاج التبغ إزالة كل أو معظم مادة القطران من تبغ الشيشة, ونحن نؤكد على بطلان هذا الإدعاء. ولكن رغم ذلك فإنه يحتوي على عشرات المواد المسرطنة الأخرى. كما أنه يضاف إلى تبغ الشيشة العديد من المواد المنكهة مجهولة التركيب, ونجهل مقدار ضررها.

أنواع الشيش

ما يقال عن التدخين عن طريق الشيشة أو النارجيلة باستخدام التبغ أو الجراك أو المعسل بأنه خالي من الخطر غير صحيح البتة. فقد أثبتت أحد الدراسات على مدى أربع سنوات في المملكة العربية السعودية بأن المعــسـل هو عبارة عن تبغ خالص, مع كميات كبيرة من الأصباغ والألوان والنكهات التي تخلط من غير أي رقابة صحية. وثبت أنها تسبب مختلف الأمراض والسرطانات.

ويحتوي الجراك على 15% من التبغ الذي يخلط ببعض العسل والفواكه والمضافات الكيمائية التي تطبخ وتخمر.

التأثيرات الصحية للتدخين

هناك قناعة خاطئة لدى الكثيرين بأن تدخين الشيشة قليل الضرر, ويبرر هؤلاء ذلك بأن مرور الدخان من خلال الماء الموجود في الشيشية يعمل على ترشيح الدخان من المواد الضارة وبالتالي تقليل الضرر الناجم عن تدخين الشيشة. وهذا اعتقاد خاطئ فقد تبين من خلال تحليل الدخان الخارج من فم مدخن الشيشة أنه يحتوي على نفس المواد الضارة والمسرطنة كما في دخان السجائر. كما أثبتت الدراسات أن التدخين بالشيشة:

يسبب الادمان.

يقلل من كفاءة أداء الرئتين لوظائفهما, ويسبب انتفاخ الرئة (الإنفزيما) والالتهاب الشعبي المزمن. وهذا المرض يحد من قدرة الإنسان على بذل أي مجهود كلما تفاقم.

يؤدي إلى حدوث سرطانات الرئة والفم والمرئ والمعدة.

يؤدي إلى ارتفاع تركيز غاز أول أكسيد الكربون (الخانق) في الدم.

يؤدي إلى تناقص الخصوبة عند الذكور والإناث.

يساعد على ازدياد نسبة انتشار التدرن الرئوي عند مستخدمي الشيشة.

عند النساء المدخنات للشيشة أثناء الحمل يؤدي إلى تناقص وزن الجنين, كما يعرض الأجنة إلى أمراض تنفسية مستقبلا. أو إلى حدوث الموت السريري المفاجئ بعد الولادة.

تأثيرات أخرى عديدة مثل انبعاث الروائح الكريهة مع النفس ومن الثياب. كذلك من التأثيرات الأخرى بحة الصوت, واحتقان العينين, وظهور تجاعيد الجلد والوجه خصوصا في وقت مبكر.

هذا علاوة على كون تدخين الشيش يعتبر أحد أهم ملوثات الهواء في غرف المنازل وقريبا من المقاهي حيث يوجد عدد كبير من المدخنين. وهذا كما سبق وذكرنا يعرض الآخرين إلى إدمان الدخان بسبب التدخين السلبي.

كيف تعمل على عدم انتشار هذه الآفة في بيتك ومجتمعك

لا بد أن تكون جادا وصارما في منع التدخين بأنواعه في بيتك وبين أهلك وحاول أن تضع علامات منع التدخين في أماكن مختلفة سواء في البيت أو في العمل (شكرا لعدم التدخين) أو (التدخين يؤذينا)..الخ.

اطلب من الجميع عدم تدخين الشيشة في منزلك, ولا بد من محاولة توعية الأهل والصغار بالذات عن أخطار التدخين.

تجنب زيارة الأماكن التي يكثر بها التدخين والمدخنين لأنه كما ذكرنا آنفا أن التعرض لدخان التبغ قد يصيبك بالادمان وبالتالي تقع أنت فريسة للتدخين.

اعمل جاهدا مع آخرين إن أمكن على نشر الوعي بمخاطر الدخان والتدخين ومحاولة فرض القوانين التي تمنع التدخين في الأماكن العامة.

وأخيرا اعمل بشتى الوسائل المتاحة على خلق بيئة خالية من الدخان والتبغ ومنتجاته, وساعد عمليا على مكافحة التدخين, وتطهير المجتمع من آثاره المدمرة .

Bismillah Arr7man Arra7im (bismillah

Asslamu Alaikm,

My name is Abuhamza and am from Jordan, I would like to Thank the operator of this forum for giving me membership of this site.

I have a contribution and would like to share with you, brothers and sisters!

The latest events of Falluja and Palestine does show some Increase in the intensity of struggle in the moslem world. Something that does mean that these activities are being engineered well to cause such anger in the moslem world and the Arab world specifically in the Middle East region. I am as a moslem and Arab I would always try to weigh things in its origional scale which always leads my mind to one path, that is the war is somehow religious and is dedicated to Keep The state of Israel safe for the upcoming events of the glorious Appearing of Jesus(Peace Be Uppon Him).Most Heavinly books have spotted his appearing to happen after the rise of Israel as a state again(Sorat Al-Isra'a : Quran) and so do the Bible and Torah indicate that the rise of Israel and the Re-build of the Temple of Solomon to the 11th time will be sometime in our meantime-As Christian theologists indicate in many literature-. So, I believe strongly that these events are highly engineered so that it leads the peace process and the struggle in such way to end in big annihilation between Israel and its opponents(Moslems/Arab) and this has its base of evidence from two facts I would like to adress to share with you, Brothers and Sisters!

The first: is the Red-Heifer doctrine, as Torah scholars prophesize that a red cow should come up, live for three years and must be all in all red, and it will be used to purify the people of Israel from the Curse of the dead. There have been many red-Heifers though, but the last which qualifed for the Prophecy is the one born on 8-4-2002 which will have finished its third year by 8-4-2004. I know from many sites that this Heifer have still qualified for this prophecy and its burning should end up in re-build of the temple.

The second reason, is the Increase in the intensity of struggle and threat from both sides, Israel and Hamas resistance. There have been so many violations and actions that caused the build up of tension in the Moslem world against Israel. Jews think they will have a big battle near Tel-Aviv called Armageddon with some other nation, and this nation is no way other than Arabs and moslems with their allies the Russian.

My point is, does Anybody in the moslem world follw and Track these actions by Israel and update the public that these people are funtamentally engineering these effects to end in the desired action that is acceptable by the Jewish and Christian mind? I think there should be some religious drive that guides these people, especially it is well-known for everybody that GW Bush have already slipped several times in his words about the Crussade ware of the meantime!

Thank you and may Allah Bless you All.

(Assalam)

I have been hearing about the three stages of the soul alot lately and i was wondering if anyone who knows more about it can tell me.. here's what i have heard thus far...

the three stages are:

<b>1] Nafs Ammarah</b> : this is the soul at the very lowest stage. it is prone to evil and is described as animalistic...

<i>(i forgot the quranic reference for this can someone please tell me if they know....</i>

<b>2] Nafs Lawwammah</b> : this is the self reproaching soul. It is where the person has an awareness of wrong and right and would reproach himself/herself if he has done wrong or is inclined to do wrong.

<i>(quran suratul qiyamah: 2</i>

<b>3] Nafs Mutmainnah</b>: this is the soul that has gained excellence.

<i>(quran suratul fajr: 27)</i>

This is as much as i know can anyone please tell me if they know more on this topic...

Jazaakumullah khairan
