Gaddafi falls

Well, the rebels have entered Tripoli, there seems to be some sense of jubilation in some segments of the capital while others are still held by Gaddafi's forces.

Gaddafi's son Saif al Islam Gaddafi has been captured and this seems like the ned of the civil war and of the Gaddafi regime.

Now the hard work starts of rebuilding the state - NATO has offered its assistance, which Abdul Bari Atwan of Al Quds on BBC News said was just them/us telling the rebels who is actually in charge.

August 21st - Chapter 6: Discouraged Acts during Du'a


1. Poetry in Du'a

What is meant by 'poetry' is excessive rhyming of words that does not befit the humility that should accompany du'a. However, if such rhyming is not excessive, or comes naturally to the tongue, it is allowed as some of the prophet's Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) du'as contained rhyming phrases.

What is prohibited is excessiveness or going out of one's way to ensure rhyming in one's du'a.

2. Transgression in Du'a

1) Asking for things that are prohibited: A person should realise his place and status in front of his Creator,and beware of exalting himself to where he thinks that he is allowed to do what Allah has prohibited

19. To Say Amin

When a person is listening to someone else making du'a, it is recommended the he says Amin, which means 'O Allah! Accept (or respond) to this du'a. It is like repeating the du'a all over again through the use of just that small phrase.

To say Amin after reciting Surah al-Fatihah is encouraged, regardless of whether one is praying, or reciting it outside the prayer, and regardless of whether one is the Imam or the follower. At all such times Amin should be stated with an audible voice

Leader of Algerian Ulama passes away at 93

إنا لله وإنا اليه راجعون

It is with great sadness that we inform you that one of our elders and Shouyoukh has passed into the mercy of Allah. Shaikh Abdur Rahman al-Sheybaan (RA) was born in the year 1918 and passed away on the 12th of August 2011 at the grand age of 93 after a lifetime of serving the deen in numerous positions of office and responsibility.

اللهم اغفر له وارحمه وعافه واعف عنه وأكرم نزله ووسع مدخله واغسله بالماء والثلج والبرد ونقه من الخطايا كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس اللهم أبدله دارا خيرا من داره وأهلا خيرا من أهله اللهم أدخله الجنة وأعذه من عذاب القبر ومن عذاب النار

With his (RA) passing another bright star of the Islamic world fades.

Our Beloved (salahu alayhi wasalam) said in a Hadith that is agreed upon:

Unprecedented Prisoner Numbers After Riots

The jailing of hundreds of people involved in last week's riots has led to the prison population in England and Wales to reach a record high

There has been a spike in arrests and convictions recently after the wave of violence and unrest in cities across the country.

Around 1,500 places remain before the usable operational capacity of 88,093 is reached.

The rise of more than 100 per day since last week comes after some 1,300 people have appeared in court charged with offences linked to the riots and looting.

2 people were jailed for four years each after setting up Facebook pages which encouraged people to riot.

16. To Use the Du'as of the Quran and Sunnah

These du'as are blessed and there are many evidences that such du'as have more chance of being responded to.

Regarding the last verse of Surah al-Baqarah,

"O Our Lord! Do not punish us if we forget, or fall into error. O Our Lord! Do not place a burden on us, as you have placed upon those before us! Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us..."

The prophet(saw) said, "Allah has said: Yes I have done so"

These du'as are of the Straight Path-the Path of those whome Allah has favoured; the prophets, the sincere, the martyrs and the righteous.

Sorry for the big gap between the parts by the way :oops:

7. To pray with Humility and Fear

“Call upon your Lord with humility, and in secret. Verily, He does not like aggressors.” – Surah al-A’raf

So it is important that the servant show humility to the Creator and humble himself while making du’a. For is it not befitting that a slave appear in front of his Creator and Master in a state of humility and realising the status of his Lord, fearing his own shortcomings in his duty towards Him?

8. To Complain Only to Allah
