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.

I haven't Blogged in ages - yes who cares?! I CARE, writing on here was my outlet and now,now I don't think I even have an outlet.. no I lie, the outlet I've been using is making Du'a.. it's pretty wonderful, you should try it sometime.. real Du'a..

Ok the beauties of Du'a is a story for another day so on with random thought processes.. I'm a little rusty so bear with me, where to start umm

Recent events always helps me going me thinks.

SALAAMS,

Peace for Humanity conference, organised by Minhaj-ul-Quran International, will present the merciful and peaceful personality of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the wider western Muslim youth, as well as non-Muslims, and how his life and teachings are relevant to our situation today

5 DAYS TO GO!!!!

InshAllah everyone will have a great time!

There's even going to be a Peace

Except now that the Palestinians are taking this solution to the UN, all hell breaks loose.

The US says it will veto it, Israel is dead set against and even Tony Blair has risen from the lower regions of hell to try and stir against it.

I guess they all want a two state solution as long as it is not real.

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.)

I've come across some great words from Imam Shafi'i and thought I'd share some.

Feel free to add quotes/stories

[color=peru]All humans are dead except those who have knowledge;
and all those who have knowledge are asleep,
except those who do good deeds;
and those who do good deeds are decieved ,
except those who are sincere;
and those who are sincere are always in a state of worry. [/color]

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.
