Salaam!

This talk was given by Nouman Ali Khan. A rlly good talk at that too mashAllah, so here it is in summary!

One of the essential roles that the Quran plays in the lives of the believers is that it serves as a reminder and by definition a reminder is something that you already know and Allah(swt) reminds us in the Quran of things we know but may not always act upon.

This lends to an appreciation as to why there is so much repetition in the Quran; and the proportion to which something is mentioned in the Quran illustrates how quickly people forget that very same thing.

Just a reminder

Good Deeds are Sadaqah

Hadrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hadrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) as saying, "Every act of kindness is sadaqah." (Bukhari and Muslim.)

A young man came to a shaykh and said "I am a young man with strong desires. I cannot help looking at people when I am in the bazaar. What do I do?"

The shaykh handed him a cup of milk that was full to the brim, and told him to deliver it to an address that would take the young man directly through the bazaar.

He then instructed the young man that the milk should not spill. The shaykh then summoned one of his students, and told him to accompany the man through the bazaar to the destination, and to severely beat him if any milk were to spill. This man successfully took the milk to the destination and returned to give the good news to the shaykh.

My name is Sha'baan/ I am advising you that my neighbour Ramdan will be visiting you soon with his wife Saum and 2 kids Suhur and Iftar. They'll be accompanied by 3 grandchildren: Rahma, Baraka and Tawba. They will leave after 30 days by Eid airlines. Treasure them and you'll be blessed.

Got this as an email. Thought i'd share as sharing is caring

Kinda went of at a tangent i think....

Stress Management

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.

If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.

If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.

If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.

In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

Marilyn Davenport is resisting calls for her resignation from the Republican party's central committee after sending out the 'family portrait' with the statement: 'Now you know why – No birth certificate!'

She said it was a 'joke' made in reference to the conspiracy theory that Mr Obama is ineligible to be president because he was born outside America.

Scott Baugh, chairman of the Republican Party of Orange County, where Ms Davenport is an official, is calling for an ethics investigation.

'It’s just highly inappropriate, it’s a despicable message, it drips with racism and I think she should step down from the committee,' he said.

Ms Davenport has since apologised to party members in an email.
