you're going to get the hardest time, the worst sarcasm and insults from your family when you try and become a better muslim, when you try to learn more and practise Islam better.

we've got to have patience and not lose hope. not lose our cool.

and remember:

Abu Lahab - the uncle and neighbour of the prophet (pbuh). the one who went out and celebrate when the prophet (pbuh)'s son died
Abu Jahl - another uncle.

they were Family - and the worst worst worst ennemies of the prophet (pbuh) and of Islam.

and its hard to make dawah to family. especially to older generations. so when it is hard to make talking dawah then the other solution is manners. staying courteous, polite, when they insult the next day you call them.

Why is education important?

Well, the first ayah revealed to the Prophet was

Quote:

Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists),

See that bold there? READ! The very first revelation given to the Prophet emphasised the importance of education. Without education we would know nothing! We would be totally lost, unaware of the world and how to live in it.

There would be no scholars, scientists, doctors, engineers, lawyers, mathematicians, and so on and so forth. Because education is needed to understand and learn and teach and develop. Nothing comes from no where and we're not suddenly going to know everything!

The winds of change appear to be blowing through Pakistan and Imran Khan is the force behind them. He has a vision - a vision that seeks to bring about stability, a cleaner political landscape and much-needed social reforms. But he has not yet been in power and so has no record to defend. All he can do at this stage is outline his vision and ask the country to trust him. But judging from criticisms of Khan, he is incapable of doing anything right because he is undemocratic, pro-Taliban, and leads only a cult of personality.

I wonder who will be the first person to reply to this post...

Before, you ask, not my fault - massive failure at the hosts and it took them til a few minutes ago to restore things. read about it if you want here: http://dailystatus.co.uk/.

(That page will also give future updates etc when they run updates etc, so may be useful to bookmark for those that care).

In the meantime, I tried to redirect the site to a google plus page to inform of everything, but I never managed to pull it off. the page will probably remain to exist in the future too.

Often I think about the sacrifices of Rasool Sallalahu Allaihi Wassalam for this ummah and tears roll down my face. I think about the hardships he suffered, pelted in taif till his shoes were clogged with blood.

When he lost his mubarak tooth on the battlefield. The stones he used to tie on his belly to pacify the pangs of hunger, when he as dragged on the ground with a rope around his neck infront of the kabaah only to be rescued by Abu Bakr (RA). Many had taught he had passed away.

Camel intestines were placed on his back when he was in sujood, the long nights he spent in ibaadah in prayer, so long that his mubarak feet used to swell. Even at the time of his death he beseeched the angel of death to give him the pain of his entire ummah.
