You have missed out one step:

[quote]engagement in conduct for the preparation [b]of an intention[/b] to commit an act of terrorism.[/quote]

So someone was thinking about thinking about doing something which could in some way be linked to terrorism under the new laws, but not necessarily terrorism itself.

There is another degree of separation there.

In other words, he was not drinking a glass of orange juice. Nor was he thinking about drinking a glass of orange juice. he was thinking "Should I think about drinking a glass of orange juice?"

Well I don't like orange juice OR terrorism, so I'm innocent!

What a movie "Gladiator". (just watch it)

Just wanted to share this with everyone. 😉

Seen it, yeah its good another film 300.

I prefered the other movie that was on 'The Family Man'.

Whats it about?

2 films which are more meaningful, stirring and inspirational than both of those are Porco Rosso and Princess Monokoké.

Maybe they have adopted the Islamic idea of "Every action which leads to a sin (crime), is a sin (crime)".

So...

Thinking about thinking about drinking orange juice = An unrelated man and woman being alone in a room.

Thinking about drinking orange juice = Touching/kissing an unrelated opposite gender.

Drinking glass of orange juice = Zina.

How the hell do you get that only someone with a corrupt mind can think of that.

Not Every[b]thing[/b], but action. It has to be an action to be a sin.

[b]Importance of praying in the Masjid

Allah invites you to His House 5 times a Day!!!![/b]

On Israa Wal Mir’aj, Allah decreased our Salah, by His Great Mercy from 50 to 5, in order to fit into our needs, and to balance wordly life, with akhirah. Yet, Allah said He will still reward us with what He laid down first. SubhanAllah, how many of us still struggle to keep up with our 5 daily prayers in busy lives. Imagine, if we had to fit in 50, that’s more than 1 prayer an hour. We must always remind ourselves, the proportion of this life, compared to the akhira – it’s not even half a day equivalent. Alongside with that, Allah increased the reward for those that pray in congregation.

It was reported in Al Bukari, a salat offered in congregation is 27 times greater than when prayed alone, and to top that off, it was related in another hadith, (Bukhari) .... Don’t you think that for traces (every step) of yours there is reward (when coming for the 5 compulsory prayers)?. Allah invites you to His House 5 times daily; would we decline the invitation of a dear friend? Allah has created you to worship him alone, and everything He commands us to do, is for the good for our own souls, our community and our akhira.

Prayer in congregation is a beautiful time for the community to integrate, come together, spread the greetings of the Heavens, and spread love. Just contemplate of the pleasure of Allah seeing this. Just for your steps to go to the Masjid, we are rewarded – every step – think of the rewards. Contemplate The Rahma of Allah, He made Jannah for us, any little effort we put towards striving to please Him, Allah rewards you with double.

Many beautiful mosques are being built, but how many are being attended, the numbers are few, except in Jummah. Don’t we feel sad that these mosques are being neglected? We may be busy with our work – by all means we need to earn a good livelihood, but our akhira needs as much attention.

A balance should be maintained, like we need to invest in our future, we need to invest in our akhira – doesn’t cost, just requires love for Allah and the sky’s the limit as to what good deeds you can do.

We should unite and worship Allah as one Ummah, one body - establish this in prayer in congregation, and earn great rewards. Attach your heart to the mosque, as narrated in a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah (ra), that amongst the 7 persons that Allah will shade on the Day where there will be no shade but His, is a man whose heart is attached to the mosque. Alhamdulila, many blessings entail congregational salat, how oblivious are we to ignore them!

Finally, in another hadith it is narrated that congregational salat is compulsory – Narrated by Abu Hurairah, Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said; “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is in, I intended or planned or was about to order collecting fire wood (fuel) and then order someone to pronounce the Adhan for As Salat and then order for someone to lead the Salat then I would go from behind and burn the houses of men who did not present themselves for the Salat….”

Jibreel (as) put a request to Allah that he be from the progeny of Adam (as), but Allah didn’t fulfil this request. Why did Jibreel (as) put this request forward, when punishment isn’t something which is potential for him? Because he had seen what rewards can be gained from the worship of Allah. He had seen what in store for the successful ones.

Listen to the call, and come to success.

Aysha Khanom

"Nothing is harder on the hypocrites than the Isha and Fajr Prayer; had they known of the great rewards that Allah would bestow for those Prayers they would never have missed them even if they had to come (to the masjid) on their knees." (Sahih Bukhari, Muslim).

"Give good news to those who go to the masjid in the darkness of the night to offer the prayer in congregation, that on the Day of Judgement they will be provided with a perfect light." (At-Tirmidhi).

Ibn Abbas (ra) has reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The prayer of the person who does not come to attend the congregational prayer after hearing the adhan, will not be acceptable unless he has a valid reason for this." When the Companions asked what was meant by a valid reason, he said: "Fear or illness." (Abu Dawud).

According to Ubayy bin Ka'b (ra), the Prophet ﷺ said: "If the people come to know of the great rewards and benefits of the congregational prayer, they would never stray back but would rush to the masjid for it. The first row merits the highest rewards and should be regarded as if it consisted of pure angels. Two persons praying together merit greater rewards than each praying individually, the rule being that the larger the congregation, the higher its rewards in the sight of Allah." (Abu Dawud).

According to Anas (ra), the Prophet ﷺ said: "The person who offers his prayers continuously for 40 days without missing the first takbir, is granted a twofold immunity by Allah - immunity from Hellfire and immunity from hypocrisy." (At-Tirmidhi).

What does that mean?

err...it seems to mean that if you pray all your 5 daily prayers on time and in the congregation at the mosque, not even being late [b]once[/b], for a 40 day period, then you will never go to hell and you will never become a hypocrite, insha'Allah.

Oh sorry i have already found out i got that bit the bit i was wondering was the takbir and ive clear it up.

[quote="naj"]does anybody know whether to get a mobile cash back deal is dodgy or what.[/quote]

Not dodgy, but make sure the company is well known and has deep pockets - otherwise, if it goes bankrupt, you will be stuck with a massive contract.

(carphonewarehouse has many many companies under its umbrella and it is big enough to be unlikely to go bankrupt.)

And it is annoying too.
