'bad' thoughts.

published by RI_RS on 31 July, 2009 - 17:55

Noor sent me something really good concerning this when i asked about whether or not i was a sin to just THINK 'dirty' Or 'bad' thoughts :

"What to do when a bad thought occurs to you
Whenever a bad thought occurs to you:

a) seek Allah’s forgiveness [saying, Astaghfirullah (‘I seek Allah’s forgiveness’)];

b) seek protection from the Shaytan [saying, A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ar-rajeem (‘I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed shaytan’)]

c) cut out the things that result in that bad thought immediately [e.g. shut the window with such images]

d) then thank Allah, wholeheartedly, for enabling you to overcome your desires and shaytan [saying, Alhamdulillah (‘All praise is due to Allah’)]; this makes Shaytan despair, and strengthens one’s resolve.

Israel to allow cement into Gaza

published by You on 30 July, 2009 - 22:24

Israel has authorised a one-off shipment of hundreds of tonnes of cement and building materials to the heavily embargoed Gaza Strip.

It is the first official transfer of such goods since Israel's operation early this year in the coastal enclave.

Many Gazan buildings damaged during the offensive have not been rebuilt because of a shortage of building materials.

Ummah Forums

published by You on 30 July, 2009 - 18:38

Supposedly the largest Muslim forums in the world... many interactions between people, really really busy, but why is it that "our" interaction with them has always been negative?

Just today, a probably former member with a different name decided to mock the sunnah of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) as a way to wind people up on here (and succeeded - I am greatly annoyed).

Before then someone came from there more or less accusing all the members of the time of of racism.

Another member from there came here and peddled false ahadith - ahadith which people took at face value - because hey, why would a Muslim make such stuff up? - only to find out better when on a thread on ummah forums, the member owned up to such devious practices.

Lasting marriage linked to better health

published by You on 29 July, 2009 - 22:30

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who get married and stay married may enjoy better health than the perpetually single, but losing a spouse could take a significant health toll, a new study suggests.

Historically, studies have found that married people as a group tend to be in better health than singles -- though recent research suggests the health advantage of marriage may be fading.

In the new study, researchers found that middle-aged and older Americans who were currently married tended to give higher ratings to their health than their never-married counterparts. They also reported fewer depression symptoms and limits on their mobility.
