Once again the world's attention has turned to the most contested
land on earth. Whilst the Palestinians exercised their right to
self-determination through the ballot box, America and Israel
refuse to deal with the people's choice of government. What is
the future for the 3rd holiest site for Muslims?

WORDS OF WISDOM BY THE PROPHET (PBUH)

[b]Words of Wisdom from Prophet Mohammad
Fifty hadiths [/b]

1.. "[b]Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when friendless. It guides us to happiness, it sustains us in misery, it is an ornament amongst friends and an armour against enemies." (widely attributed to the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh))

2.. "A Muslim who plants a tree or sows a field, from which man, birds and animals can eat, is committing an act of charity." (Muslim)

Cartoons article

Christopher Bollyn American Free Press

Under the guise of free speech, a leading Danish newspaper published a
dozen
provocative anti-Islamic cartoons clearly designed to offend Muslims.
The
predictable result has greatly increased the possibility of violence
and left
Denmark in a costly and dangerous predicament.

Four months after Jyllands-Posten (JP), Denmark's most widely read
morning
paper, published 12 anti-Islamic cartoons, Danes woke up to the fact
that there
is a very high price to be paid for promoting the "clash of
civilizations."

Me, Myself And I

Salaam

The British on the whole are very reserved people. We can walk past someone in town centre making a fool of themselves and yet would just carry on with our business as if nothing has happened.

This of course, is not a good thing. The fact that we keep to ourselves so much shows that we only look think about ourselves and/or those who are close to us.

How often do we go out of our way to make someone else’s life easier? How often do we do favours for others without expecting anything in return?

Think Before You Speak

Salaam

Has anyone ever put their foot in it? Does anyone get carried away sometimes and regret it later on?

Those who preach/write/give talks/answer questions/give advice etc etc should really think before they speak.

Usually, I’m SO careful about this matter…but on the rare occasions when I’m speaking passionately about something I notice that I don’t think before I speak.

The blessed companions of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) were people of few words and questions, but great actions.

Story of Adam in the Quran

places scattred thoughtout the Muslim Holy Book:

----------

And when your Lord said to the angels: Lo! I am about to place a viceroy on the earth. They said: Will you place therein one who will do harm and will shed blood, while we, we hymn your praise and sanctify you ? He said: Surely I know that which you know not.

Documentaries...

Hey guys,

just came across a really cool documentary which i thought i'd share with u, but creating a whole thread just for the one docu didnt make much sense so u can use this thread to tell everyone about any documentary (available online!) that u come across.

in this one, Morgan Spurlock, the guy who did 'Supersize Me', makes a devout Christian live with a Muslim family and practice Islam for 30 Days...
