Assalamu alykum dear brothers & sisters,

In a book called ‘The History of Punishment’ by Lewis Lyons, Amber Books has published a picture depicting Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) surrounded by naked women.

This is clearly blasphemous and we fail to see why such an outrageous picture should be published in a chapter discussing Islamic law when there is absolutely no connection between the two.

This is highly offensive to Muslims not only because Islam clearly prohibits drawing such images but also because portraying Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as a womaniser contradicts the historical standpoint.

Amber Books has demonstrated extreme insensitivity by publishing such a picture since the Islamic point-of-view has been clarified before on many occasions, especially after Daily Mail published a picture portraying the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It can only be concluded that the intention is to be to upset the Muslims.

Course of Action

Please E-mail, fax and telephone Amber Books and demand that this picture is immediately removed. Also highlight the following points:

- Islam strongly prohibits illustrations of all the Prophets and hence the picture in this book only serves to upset the Muslims

- Displaying of naked women in the background is particularly shocking as it is an insult to the integrity of the Prophet of Islam and in any case totally absurd since Islam places more emphasis on modesty than perhaps any other religion

For further information and to view this disgusting picture, please visit the MPAC website:

*>I saw that leaving the pic serves no purpose, sorry for being late to delet it, one might take a sin for watching *

Would we sit quietly and not do anything if someone was to draw a picture of our father with naked women? We are talking about the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) here and Allah clearly says in the Quran

“The Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves” [Quran 33:6]

Don’t just sit there…take ACTION, NOW !

Apology from Amber Books Ltd

Amber Books Ltd sincerely apologises for any offence that has been caused by

the inclusion of a pictorial representation of the Prophet Muhammad on page

36 in the book entitled 'The History of Punishment'. Amber Books are

currently discussing this issue with the Muslim Council of Britain who are

advising Amber Books on the best course of action.

Enquiries

9/11 was a Hoax

The American government killed its own people

by John Kaminski

Opposed by everyone in the world who was not bought off, the illegal invasion of Iraq was undertaken for many reasons — the imminent replacement of the dollar by the euro as the world's primary currency, the tempting lure of untapped oil reserves, the desire to consolidate U.S./Israeli military hegemony over a strategically vital region — but the most important reason was to further obscure questions about the awesome deception staged by the American government that has come to be known as 9/11.

9/11 was a hoax. This is no longer a wild conspiracy assertion; it is a fact, supported by thousands of other verifiable facts, foremost of which are:

The attacks of 9/11 COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED without the willful failure of the American defense system. In Washington, Air Force pilots demanded to fly but were ordered to stand down. Yet instead of prosecuting the president and military leaders for this unprecedented dereliction of duty, military leaders were promoted and the president was praised for presiding over a defense system that suspiciously failed the most crucial test in its history. None of the deaths would have happened without the deliberate unplugging of America's air defenses.

Planes that lose contact with control towers are usually intercepted by fighter jets inside of ten minutes, as the incident with the golfer's plane a few months earlier so clearly demonstrated. Yet on 9/11, the jetliners that struck New York were allowed to proceed unmolested for more than a half-hour, and the plane that supposedly crashed in Washington was not intercepted for more than an hour and forty minutes after it was widely known that four planes had been hijacked.

The twin towers could not have collapsed as a result of burning jet fuel. Most of that fuel was consumed on impact. In the south tower, most of the fuel was spilled outside the building. Heat caused by burning jet fuel does not reach temperatures needed to melt steel. What does stand out as particularly suspicious and still unexplained is that fires raged out of control beneath THREE of the collapsed towers for ONE HUNDRED DAYS, clearly indicating the presence of some kind of substance utilized in the demolition of the structures.

The Twin Towers did not fall because of plane impacts or fires. Most likely explosives were placed on structural supports in the towers (as was done in Oklahoma City), and these controlled implosions snuffed out the lives of three thousand people.

FBI Director Robert Mueller insisted officials had no idea this kind of attack could happen when in fact the FBI had been investigating the possibility of EXACTLY this kind of attack for almost TEN YEARS. Numerous previous attempts at using planes as weapons, intimate knowledge of terror plans called Project Bojinka, and knowledge of suspicious characters attending flight schools who were being monitored by the FBI make his utterance a clear lie on its face.

In the weeks before 9/11, the U.S. received warnings from all over the world that an event just like this was about to happen, but FBI investigations into suspected terrorists were suppressed and those warnings were deliberately disregarded.

The names of the alleged hijackers, all ostensibly Muslims, were released to the public only hours after the attacks, despite Mueller saying we had no knowledge this would happen. This is an impossible twist of logic. If he didn't know of a plan to strike buildings with planes, how would he know the names of the hijackers? Various artifacts were discovered in strategic places to try to confirm the government's story, but these have all been dismissed as suspicious planting of evidence. Since that time several names on that list have turned up alive and well, living in Arab countries. Yet no attempt has ever been made to update the list. And why were none of these names on the airlines' passenger lists?

Asalam~O~Alykum

I found this cool website for all Muslims who want 2 send greeting cards. or poem or other cool Islamic things 2 there brothers or sisters. Hope u like it.

Salam~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Masriahmuslimah

www.eidmubarak.com

It was narrated by Salman al-Farsi that the messenger of Allah delivered this sermon on the last day of Shaban. The Prophet (saw) said:

"All you people! A great and blessed month has arrived for you. A month with a night that is better than 1000 months. Fasting during this month is a duty, and extra prayers during it's nights are voluntary. Anyone who comes closer to Allah through good deeds in this month, it is as if he has perfprmed an obligation during times other than Ramadan. He who fufills an obligation in it will be like the one who fufills seventy obligations in another month. It is the month of Patience, and the reward is Paradise.

It is the month to visit the poor, the sick, and the needy to share their sorrows. It is the month where the food, sustanance, and the earnings of a believing Muslim increases and they are blessed.

Anyone who invites others to break their fast at dusk will have his sins forgiven and be saved from Hellfire. He will recieve the reward of the fasting person, without reducing his own reward at all.

Allah will reward you even is you help the Muslim break the fast with a date, a sip of water or milk......it is a month whos beginning is Mercy, its middle is Forgivness, and the last part is freedom from Hellfire.

Increase in yourselves four things: two with which you can please your Lord, and two others by which you cannot live without. The first two things which please Allah are to declare there is no God but Allah, and tto ask Allah's forgivness...The other two, which you can't live without are: to ask Allah for Paradise and to ask His protection from hellfire. Anyone who gives water to a Muslim at Iftar, Allah will give him water during the Day of Judgement from the fountain of the Prophet Muhammad, which will quench his thirst until he enters Paradise."

-------------------------

May we all strive to be better Muslims this Ramadan.

i wanna know how r u meant to read the arabic in the forum. Is there some problem or sumthing?

CONDITIONS OF FAST BREAKERS

The fast breakers, except menstruation (hayd) and post childbirth bleeding (nifaas), including marital relations, self-pollution, eating and drinking; indulging in them do not break fast and require redemption of the fast unless three conditions are met:

(1) Knowledge (`Elim)

The person should have full knowledge that what he is about to do will invalidate his fast. If he is ignorant and does not know, the fast remains valid. Allah (SWT) said, "...But there is no blame on you if you make a mistake therein: (What counts) is the intentions of your hearts." (Al-Qu`ran, 33:5)

Doubt In The Break of Dawn

In the case of the ignorant person mentioned above, he can be either (a) ignorant of the Islamic rule in the matter, as a person who did not know that a certain act will invalidate fast, or ( ignorant of the time, as a person who thinks the dawn has not broken and continues his sahur, finding out later that the sun has risen. Or he mistakenly breaks fast thinking the sun has set. In all these instances, the fast is valid, despite the ruling to the contrary by the majority of the scholars.

In a hadith by Bukhari (raa) when the following verse was revealed: "...And eat and drink, until the white thread of dawn appears to you distinct from its black thread..." (Al-Qur'an, 2:187)

`Adyi bin Hatim (raa) told the Messenger of Allah (saas) that he placed two threads, one black and the other white, under this pillow as he sat to eat his sahuur. He continued to eat while glancing at the thread under his pillow to see whether he can differentiate between them. By the time he could differentiate between them, it was already daybreak. When he finished this story, the Messenger of Allah commented and explained: `Your pillow must be very vast (to cover the spaces of white and black threads)' What is really meant is the whiteness of the day and the darkness of the night.'

The point of reference in this hadith is that 'Adyi ate after Fajr and after the time he was supposed to stop, but the Prophet (saas) did not ask him to make up the day because he was ignorant of the Shari'ah rule. In another report by Bukhari, Asma bint Abu Bakr (raa) said: "We broke fast one day in Ramadan, on a cloudy evening during the time of the Prophet, but after a while the sun appeared." Again in this citation there is no report that the Prophet commanded those who mistakenly broke their fast to make up the day. If he had, it would have been reported because of its importance.

Elsewhere, Hisham bin `Urwah (raa), who was one of the reporters of the above hadith, said: "They were not commanded to redeem the day."

(2) Remembering (Dhikir)

The faster should remember before an act that it will invalidate his fast. If he forgets, the fast remains valid and resumes, as mentioned earlier.

Allah (SWT) states: "...Our Lord! condemn us not if we forget or fall into error..." (Al-Qur`an, 2:286) In Islam no one is condemned for an act done out of forgetfulness or due to a mistake. It is human, after all, to forget. In a hadith mentioned earlier it was observed: "Whoever forgets while fasting and eats or drinks, he should complete his fast (of that day), for he has just been fed and quenched by Allah." (Muslim and others)

Thus, regarding the eating and drinking of one who forgets, it is evident that he is not to be held responsible for his action. However, if he remembers or has been reminded, he should stop immediately, for if he continues to eat after that moment, the fast is invalid. Therefore, it is incumbent on anyone who sees a faster eating or drinking to remind him or her. Allah (SWT) said: "...Help you one another in righteousness and piety." (Al-Qur`an, 5:2)

(3) Breaking Fast Willingly (Ikhtiyaar)

For the fast to become invalid, the person should break on his own accord, eating or drinking intentionally without force from anyone. For, if he is coerced under the threat of harm, the fast remains valid. Allah (SWT) states: " Anyone who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters unbelief, except under coercion, his heart remaining firm in faith..." (Al-Qur`an, 16:106)

The point of reference here is if Allah absolves one from blame for claiming disbelief under compulsion (a person who has said a word of great sin), a person under similar conditions who has committed lesser offense deserves pardon. Besides, the Messenger of Allah (saas) said in a hadith related by Ibn Abbas (raa): "Allah absolves my community (Ummah) from responsibility if they make a mistake, or forget, or have been forced to do something against their own will." (Ibn Majah) Relying on this citation, if, for instance, water is mistakenly swallowed during rinsing of the mouth or sniffing, or a person is forced under threat of harm to eat, the fast remains valid.

SAHUUR

This is a light meal taken shortly before the break of dawn. There is consensus that this meal is a highly recommended Sunnah.

In reports by Bukhari and Muslim, Anas (raa) related that the Messenger of Allah said: "Take your early morning meal for in that is a blessing." In another report by Miqdam bin Ma'a Diyikarib (raa) the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: "Take this early morning meal for it is a blessed meal."

In both ahadiths the statement underscores the importance of sahuur, and to caution anyone from thinking they can just stay without a meal all night and continue with fasting. This may explain why the statement came as a command. Although it is not mandatory to eat sahuur, it is highly encouraged so that anyone intending to fast will make an effort to take sahuur.

The crux of the matter is not to show how strong you are, but how obedient you are. Sahuur, above all, ensures that the devotee has the energy he or she will need during the course of the day, and it makes the fast easier.

FASTING AND BREAKING FAST

Some devoted believers may wish to fast forever, oblivious to hardship in their life, not to mention the fact that this type of fasting is not in harmony with the spirit of Al-Islam. When reports of Abdullah Bin `Amru's continuous fasting reached the Messenger of Allah (saas), Abdullah related later:

"The Messenger told me, `I have been informed that you observe night prayer and a daily fast.' Ibn Amru answered, Yes!' O Messenger of Allah. The Messenger advised, him: `Fast a day and break a day. Pray at night and sleep. For your body has rights over you, your wife has rights over you, and your guest has rights over you. Indeed, it will perfectly suffice you to fast three days in every month.' Amru strongly pointed out that he was capable of observing the fast in the fashion he was doing. But the Messenger advised against it. Ibn 'Amru said, `Then I explained to him that I have the strength to do it.' The Messenger of Allah (saas) then said: `Observe three days fasting starting from Friday (and then break).' Ibn 'Amru said: `I strongly stressed to him that I could, and he vigorously said I should not.' The Messenger of Allah then instructed, `Observe your fast as the Prophet of Allah, Dawud, (David, ass), used to observe and do not exceed it. `How did he fast?' 'Amru asked. The Prophet (saas) said: `Prophet Dawud (ass) used to fast a day and break the next.'" (Ahmad)

This hadith is instructing and revealing that the objectives in the command to fast are not to unduly injure, or deny the body the natural way of living. It also indicates the caring side of this Messenger of mercy as he tried to convince Amru that his decision to spend the rest of his life in fasting was not in harmony with Islam. With continuous fasts one loses the physical and spiritual benefits. Physically, because it becomes a routine and the body loses the benefits of the way the fast is structured. Spiritually, one feels the numbness, and boredom of the heart. The spouses' right to marital association is denied as the continuous fasting decreases the sexual desire.

The soul is affected only by what intrudes upon it, not by what it is accustomed to. Do you not see that the doctors will advise a person not to take a drug, as a matter of routine, unless the body needs it, lest the same drug will be ineffective when the person gets sick.

The hadith indicates that no one has the right to use his or her body exclusively in the way they desire. In every undertaking, one should bear in mind the other legal rights. The responsibilities of a person are multiple. For while you may think you are worshipping Allah, you may well be violating Allah's rules, because you lose the balance in worship by infringing on the rights of your body when you overly deny it the element of survival.

If you fail to fulfill the marital covenant towards your wife or husband, you may be making her or him vulnerable and susceptible to unlawful, immoral acts. The Hadith also reveals and indicates the beautiful relationship between the teacher and the student, and how the Messenger was very patient with a companion who had unlimited energy, and did not mind spending it in fasting. It reveals how the Prophet (saas) encouraged the believers to express their opinions and ask questions while observing the etiquette of respect to the Messenger of Allah (saas) who said: "The best (voluntary fast in the sight of Allah) is the fast of Prophet Dawud, and the best nightly voluntary prayer is the prayer of Prophet Dawud." The Messenger explained, "He used to sleep half of the night then pray one-third of the night, then sleep one sixth of the night. In fasting, he used to fast a day and break the next." (Ahmed)

It is a mercy from Allah (SWT) that our Prophet Muhammad (saas) is in tune with all the previous revelations' as we see in Al-Qur'an and the Sunnah. It is rich spiritual information made available through him (saas) to this Ummah.
