Killed for a free breakfast

Joshua Davies lured 15-year-old Rebecca Aylward into woodland near Bridgend in South Wales and tried to strangle her.

When that failed, he smashed her skull with a rock the size of a rugby ball.

Davies, 16, left Rebecca face down in the pouring rain in the new clothes she had bought for their meeting.

He later returned to the wood with a friend to show him the body. At his trial, Davies tried to blame the friend for the killing

Surah Kahf

published by Foysol89 on 2 September, 2011 - 06:43

Assalamu alaikum Biggrin Jummah Mubarak.

It is recommended to recite Surat al-Kahf completely the night before Friday, and it is also recommended to do so Friday itself, before Maghrib time. Ibn Abidin said, �And it is best to do so early on Friday, in order to rush to the good and to avoid forgetting. � [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, �Bab al-Jumu`ah�]

The evidence for it being recommended includes the hadith related by Hakim and Bayhaqi, from Abu Sa`id (Allah be pleased with him), �Whoever recites Surat al-Kahf on Friday, light shall shine forth for him between the two Fridays.� [Ibn Hajar, Talkhis al-Habir]

"Chinese-made Qur'ans full of errors"

published by TPOS on 2 September, 2011 - 03:51

Iranian publishers are complaining that cost-saving plans to print Qur'ans in China have led to an embarrassing number of typographical errors.

The head of Iran's Qur'an oversight office, Ahmad Haji-Sharif, warned consumers that lower-cost Qur'ans may have mistakes in the holy verses. He noted earlier this week that Iranian-produced Qur'ans carry a higher price but have passed a careful inspection.

Officials are now discussing a ban on Chinese-printed Qur'ans.

The Qur'ans in Iran often have both Farsi and the original Arabic. Haji-Sharif didn't say whether the errors prevail in the Arabic or Farsi segments.

Lollywood Movie Bol (Speak)

published by lollywood on 2 September, 2011 - 00:25

This movie has raised quite a few eye brows because it tackles subjects which are considered taboo in Pakistan or Muslims societies

Here are few of the things the movie looks at

Taking responsibility for your actions in this case the action is child birth people having lots of children just for the sake of it and then not being ab;r to feed them as we believe that its “gods will” that you will have so and so number of sons and daughters

Pakistani are disappointed when there wife gives birth to girls
if there are 3 girls born one after the other then the man would marry another women thinking this wife may not be able to give birth to boys

9. Du'a Before the End of Salat

After a person has finished his tashahhud, and before he actually says salam, he should supplicate with any du'a that he likes, as this is one of the times of response.

Ibn Mas'ud narrates: "I was once praying, and the prophet(saw) Abu-Bakr and Umar (were all present). When I sat down (in the final tashahhud) I praised Allah, then sent salams on the prophet(saw) then started praying for myself. At this, the prophet(saw) said: 'Ask and you shall be given it! Ask, and you shall be given it!'"
