America and Russia: Has the Cold War Really Ended?

published by s.b.f on 26 November, 2009 - 22:31

The twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is approaching, but has the Cold War really ended and is it really a historic relic of the not too distant past?

The Soviet Union may no longer exist and the Warsaw Pact may have long been dissolved, but many of the remnants of the Cold War still exist, like the conflict in the divided Korean Peninsula, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and finally the issue of missile defense.

In the last few years the relations between NATO and the Russian Federation have become tense and described in terms reminiscent of the Cold War.

One of the main impetuses for this resumption of Cold tensions has been the U.S. missile shield project in the European continent.

Ta'Leef Collective

Just a video that I came across promoting the Ta'Leef Collective - a non-profit organization (in America only?) dedicated to assisting new Muslims and emerging young adult Muslims.

While I do not know much about the organisation and this is a sort of promo for them, I do think this is a good video for other muslims to watch, to ponder over and to be aware of some of the hardship new muslims go through.

The story of Al Baqarah

published by You on 25 November, 2009 - 21:30

The name of the surah Al Baqarah is taken from an incidence that happened at the time of Prophet Musa (as) and is retold in the quran, [qs:2:67-71] and summarised in this hadith that is also a part of the forty hadith collected by Imam Nawawi:

On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah say : "What I have forbidden to you, avoid; what I have ordered you [to do], do as much of it as you can. It was only their excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their prophets that destroyed those who were before you." Related bu Bukhari and Muslim

This is only apart of the story, and has been expanded on in the commentary of the qur'an done by the famous muslim scholar Ibn Kathir:

I love you...yes YOU too ;)

soooo theres something im a confused about...

Ok before i start talking about it, i know in the past i have said "I love you For The Allah Sake" but im afraid i don't and im sorry Smile

the bit in bold is what i don't get. how on earth can someone LOVE someone else for Allah's sake?! :S :S

I mean u can do things for Allah such as be nice to people, treat them in the right etc etc but how can u have a feeling like love for others?

I mean u love people because of who they are and its not something u can really "help" doing...

:S

Muslim Hands Winter Walk is Back and taking place on Saturday 5th December 2009!

This year, set in the beautiful Kensington Gardens, in the heart of historic London, we invite you to wrap up warm, bring your family and friends and raise money in our 10 km sponsored walk. We’ll also be joined by Moazzam Begg, who will be supporting the cause and showing that we have not forgotten the continuing plight of victims suffering since the bombing. “Children in Gaza are growing up surrounded by broken buildings and a childhood full of difficult memories of losing parents and loved ones... the Winter Walk is a chance to show that we care for Gaza’s future as much as its past,” he describes.
