AsSalaamu Alaikum Warahmutulahi Wabarakatuhu

I literally just found an e-mail sent by Shaykh Yasir Qadhi in my inbox and thought it most probably will be beneficial for all of you on here! (InshaAllah)

The detailed content is available on the website -

http://www.likeagarment.com/

But the basic outline is that it is a 10 week e-mail course, during which he aims to enlighten us about intimacy in marriage. To recieve the e-mails you have to sign up on the website above (quick and easy, e-mail address, gender and marital status is all that is required.)

The title 'Like a Garment' links to The Holy Qur'an in which Allah says:

"Your wives are your garment and you are a garment for them." (2:187)

Mother`s letter

My beloved son! If you want me to have kindness towards me,do it now onwards.Otherwise you would be sad for that you have missed the duty of showing your affection towards me and be worried about that.

My dear son you try to show affection and kindness towards me and no use of showing after my death . No life would come after death in this world.

My beloved son! See my face,skin that is wrinkled, and the hair of my head has been become white and that itself shows that I am in the old age.

I am in the bonus period of Allah, I do not know when the Zibrail would take me.

May Allah give us the strength to carry the Deen in our hearts and the ability to reflect it in our mere, temporary lives InshaAllah.

It's with simple reminders like this, that one is able to be humble with the virtues that are possessed.

peace is a question is the answer occupation?
killing little children doesnt give them liberation,
Preaching about unity whilst opressing a nation,
What would your heart say if you had to face them?
Easily drop a bomb from planes in their skys,
Then misinform english youths by feeding them lies,
Switch on sky news whats happening today,
But i don't really wana listen to what they go to say,
Switch on AKA, whats the music scene saying,
Naa i don't wana watch what these rappers are displayin,
Guns knives & violence, I aint really feeling it,
Violent youths are causing wounds is this how theyre healing it?
I dont wana listen to the lies that i've bin told,
I don't understand how the world has got so cold,
Issues are global warming but hearts turn to stone,

How do we know which direction we should face when we pray?

There are ways of calculating this - you need to know your current location, the location of the qiblah and also some way to determine direction.

Most android phones have built in GPS (and most/others can also use other means to determine a good approximate of the location), and a built in compass. This should be enough for some app to combine the data and let you know which direction to face.

I am not the first with that realisation - there are a few apps on the Angroid Marketplace which say they can locate the qiblah/direction to face when praying. I tested the free options.

Assalaum alaikum everyone,

Alhamdulillah I just joined the forum. I have been reading the magazine for couple of years but never tried the website. I first came across the magazine at university. Mashallah the revival team is doing a great job. Keep it up Insha-Allah.

It is very important to deal with youth related issues as they are our future. Unfortunately the first generation of Muslims did not engage that much in intellectual arena as they were more busy in their work. But there is no excuse for us not to get involved insha-Allah. Alhamdulillah Muslims are getting more educated and professional. We are also getting more serious about knowing our faith properly. Good luck brothers and sisters! May Allah swt reward you all with the best!
