Remember Me And I’ll Remember You

Allah (swt) has said “Verily in the remembrance of Allah (swt) do hearts peace”.

Dhikr means remembrance….we are told to remember Allah (swt) sitting down, lying down, walking or standing…

Those who enter paradise will not be sorry for anything they did in this life, except the moments they spent without the remembrance of Allah (swt).

The difference between the one who does Dhikr and the one who doesn’t is like the difference between the living and the dead.

New Abu Ghraib images broadcast[/b]

An Australian TV channel has broadcast previously unpublished images showing apparent US abuse of prisoners in Iraq's Abu Ghraib jail in 2003.

The images on SBS TV are thought to be from the same source as those that caused an outcry around the world and led to several US troops being jailed.

published by Sajid Iqbal on 15 February, 2006 - 20:15

Will we have to compromise on our freedoms?

ID cards will cost a bomb... why should we have to pay for it?

so share your thoughts...

Tony Blair's controversial plan for a new law to stop people "glorifying" terrorism has been backed by MPs.

Have family meals gone out of fashion?

As the government plans a national tour to promote its Respect Agenda, published last month, the BBC News website examines the importance of the family meal for fostering respect.

The days of families sitting down together every evening for a meal are often said to be long gone and their demise is sometimes seen as symptomatic of the breakdown in family life.

Can it also have led to a decline in respect between generations?
