Every Nafil is rewarded like a Fard!!!

Every Nafil prayed is the Reward of praying a Fard Salaah!

In this most blessed month of Ramadhan all good deeds are multiplied. Every Nafil one prays one will gain the reward of a fard Salaah!

The Prophet peace be upon him said: “Whoever draws near to Allaah during it (Ramadaan) with a single characteristic from the characteristics of (voluntary) goodness, he is like whoever performs an obligatory act in other times. And whoever performs an obligatory act during it, he is like whoever performed seventy obligatory acts in other times.” – Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, no. 1887.

So Much Reward for Reciting just One letter of the Qur'an!

Countless Rewards for Every Letter Recited of the Qur'an!!!

Ramadaan is the month of the Qur'an so what better time to recite the noble Qur'an as much as is possible and at the same time get one can get into the habit of reciting the Qur'an for the rest of the year inshallah. In normal times outside of Ramadaan there is 10 rewards for every letter that one recites of the Qur'an: Rasulallah (Pbuh) says:

"Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah will receive a hasanah (good deed) from it (i.e. his recitation), and the hasanah is multiplied by ten. I do not say that Alif-Laam-Meem is (considered as) a letter, rather Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter." [At-Tirmidhi, Ad-Darimi]

How Easy is it to say "Subhanallah"?

published by the_truth on 30 August, 2010 - 16:36

How light on the tongue is saying Subhanallah and how heavy on the scales is it?

Sa`d bin Abu Waqqas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) when he asked, “Is anyone of you unable to earn a thousand good deeds?” One of those present asked: “How can one earn thousand good deeds in a day?” He (PBUH) replied, “By saying: Subhan Allah a hundred times, then one thousand good deeds will be recorded for him or one thousand sins will be blotted out from his record.” [Muslim].

Subhanallah! this can be said no matter what we are doing with our day for it is so easy and light on the tongue but the rewards are unimaginable and we will regret the seconds we wasted without saying SUBHANALLAH!

Beauty is a curse?

published by Isha Al-Maghribi on 29 August, 2010 - 21:59

From experiences in my life, i was thinking is beauty a blessing or a curse???

I mean,I've known girls who pretty much dip their face into make-up, and try to attract guys and get attention.
It's like they WANT the guy to notice them?
Why do they do that?

They try to make themselves feel and look beautiful.
But, do they actually know what a natural beauty has to suffer>?
I guess not.
...
Don't people understand that sure someone might be 'beautiful' from the outside, but what is in on the inside?
...
This kind of thing suffocates me. How people judge each other on their physical beauty'.
I wish i could see it,but I can't. Til date, I haven't come across anyone who is 'ugly'.

Ramadan 17: The Battle of Badr

published by You on 28 August, 2010 - 16:35

I had hoped that someone else had created this topic instead with information etc...

But the 17th of Ramadan (which is either today or yesterday depending on when people started ramadan) is the date for the battle of Badr.

In this battle 313 Muslims faced off with approximately a thousand people from the Quraysh who had to come to defeat them.

This was a year after the prophet (saw)'s migration to Madinah and the muslim cmmunity was at a feotal state - where if Muslims had lost this war, they would not have survived to tell the tale.

Bradford braced for arrival of the EDL

Nine years ago it was the National Front marching.

Today it will be supporters of the English Defence League peddling a slightly different brand of xenophobia. But whatever name they go by, many residents of Bradford fear the outcome could be the same.

According to the comments of facebook, their motives are anything but peaceful, and given the precedent set of '96 and '01, the fact this is allowed to go ahead is criminal in itself.

LT Ariyawathi says her employers hammered the nails into her after she complained that her workload was too heavy

A Saudi couple tortured their Sri Lankan maid by hammering 24 nails into her hands, legs and forehead, after she complained of a too heavy workload, officials said today.

Nearly 2 million Sri Lankans sought employment overseas last year and around 1.4 million, mostly maids, were employed in the Middle East. Many have complained of physical abuse or harassment. LT Ariyawathi, a 49-year old mother of three, returned home on Friday after five months in Saudi Arabia.
