Judgement Day

I have been thinking bout this more so than before, what does it mean for people to leave this world and be raised and be punished for their sins, how far away is judgement day?

How does it feel to know that on judgement day our sins will be revealed to everyone, including our parents, family etc..maybe we think right now, our creator is watching us but how embarrassing will it be to have Allah (swt) question us about our sins and the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) will be present there, he Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) who took so much pain and abuse from the kuffur to spread the word for his Ummah to come, he Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) who kept p

How Do You Measure Religiousness?

Salaam

"Being religious" means different things to different people.

Depending on where you're standing the water will look a different colour. "Too much" or "not enough" is all open to interpretation.

I’ve often heard people ask, “Are you religious?” Or say “She’s SO religious”….or “Mashallah he has a beard so he must be religious”. Or that so and so is "too" religious.

But how does one measure religiosity?

According to some, establishing an Islamic Khilafa makes one “practicing”

According to others, it’s to internally perfect yourself i.e.

Pakistan goes back to the dark ages!

LAMABAD, Pakistan (Reuters) -- An undersea cable carrying data between Pakistan and the outside world has developed a serious fault, virtually crippling data feeds, including the Internet, telecommunications officials said.

Who’s Your Role Model?

Salaam

Human nature is imitation, we automatically subconsciously copy the actions of those who are around us.

More so, those people whom we admire/think highly of or look up to.

We ALL need a role model in life, someone whom we look up to and aspire to be like.

Of course as Muslims are role model should be the Holy Prophet (saw), simply because he is perfection personified.

Who’s YOUR role model? Is it your parents? Your neighbour? A friend? A teacher?

Who has touched your life? Who has transformed your life/thinking? Who do you wish you were like?

Pakistan rape case controversy

What effect will the appeal in the Pakistan gang rape case have on women's justice?
Pakistan's Supreme Court is hearing appeals in a notorious gang rape case which has received worldwide attention.

A village council in Punjab allegedly ordered the rape of Mukhtar Mai in 2002 because her younger brother was seen with a woman from another tribe.

In March, a lower court overturned the convictions of five men and Ms Mai and the government are appealing against four of those acquittals with proceedings expected to last for at least a week.

Are WE Donkeys?

Salaam

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jillani has referred to those who KNOW yet do not apply their knowledge no better then donkeys carrying heavy books.

The Holy Qur’an in reference to the Torah likened those who possessed the divine commandments yet did not understand or apply their knowledge as donkeys.

Don't we act like donkeys? We carry so much knowledge on our backs, but don't understand it.

And what exactly does it mean to be a donkey?

Are those people who spend their lives memorising of the Qur’an in a parrot like fashion without understanding it Donkeys?

A former Israeli soldier has been found guilty of the manslaughter of British student Tom Hurndall in the Gaza Strip.
Ex-sergeant Wahid Taysir was convicted at a military court in Ashkelon for the shooting of Mr Hurndall in April 2003.

Mr Hurndall, 22, was involved in protests against the Israeli military in the Palestinian town of Rafah. He died nine months after the shooting.

His father, Anthony, welcomed the guilty verdict, but he said the Israeli army acted with impunity too often.
