short reminder about Salaah - Mufti Menk

published by LookingToSee on 13 February, 2013 - 13:28

a short, just under half an hour video about salaah, something we do 5 times a day. because we do it so often, the how, whys, whats etc...kinda becomes blurry in our minds, this is a beautiful reminder i just listened to mashaaAllah. Most of the stuff in there you probably already know, but bringing it back to the front of our mind is important.  advice and reminder are important in our religion. and faith has levels and increases and decreases; i pray this video will be a booster to your imaan level. Ameen.

"Jihadi" groups and Bid'ah

published by You on 11 February, 2013 - 02:16

There have been posts by another user-not-to-be-mentioned-by-name who has attacked fellow muslim groups for mostly not being too worried at jihad and doing a bad job of it.

But the probably is that by all accounts, most jihadi groups engage in bid'ah (while accusing others of it).

Or if you go by Imam shafi'i's view, then bid'ah sayyi'ah.

Bid'ah is according to Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah something which contradicts Qur'an and Sunnah. (According to Imam Shafi'i's opinion bid'ah sayy'iah is something which contradicts Qur'an and Sunnah. I will refer to both as simply bid'ah in this post).

Now what is this bid'ah that the jihadi groups do? indiscriminate murder for one.

At my sixth form, there's about 8 blocks/separate buildings. One of them is the RS/dining block, you can call it whatever you like. In one of the rooms upstairs, almost all of the Muslim students in the school come to pray Dhuhr during the lunch break. You even have the little Year 7's who don't usually wear a Hijab, but they take time out, to make wudhu and carry a Hijab in their bag, which i find really cute.

assalaamu'alaikum all!

Im looking for recommendations for a sturdy storage space, something more sturdy than a USB. coz i use more than one PC i hardly save anything on computers, everything is done on the USB and theres no backup and this is precious work that i cant aford to lose just by one day plugging my USB in and getting a "windows cannot recognise hardware" message. yes inshaaAllah i will be putting all my precious work onto another usb later today.

 

theres also uni notes, which are all on pdf and notes attached, i dont need those right now, semester 1 is done, i just need a place to keep them. (again they might probably be moved to that OTHER usb which was bought for the sole purpose of storage lol)

The strong brick wall that takes its time to crumble.

I want to be a wall. I want to be that strong brickwall with no feelings. No emotions. No happiness. No sadness.

Even though we can't communicate with it and see or feel its pain and joy, it could be getting bruised every time the little boy down the lane decides to kick a football at it, or it could be getting annoyed when the passerby decides to lean his foot and back against it, or it could be loving the colourful new look by the simple splash and wetness of a spray can or it could be yearning to join in and have a laugh with the two sisters while they tiggle its spine as they walk upon it.
