Is there heaven for a 'G'? Remember me,
so many homies in tha cemetery…
I know my destiny is hell, where did I fail? My life is in denial
And when I Die, baptised in Eternal Fire
…shed so many tears.

The lyrics of one of the most admired 'gangster rappers' today. A chap, who at 24, was shot to death. They call him Tu Pac - everyone's favourite gangster.

Today because of the likes of Tu Pac, Biggy, Eminem and Puff Daddy we have the biggest disease and the biggest cancer, which is spreading and destroying the nation.

It is destroying the Muslim younger generation and it's knocking on your door! You've guessed it? It's called being a big-time gangster.

Let me tell all of you a simple duua
After answering the call of nature say Ghaffranaka(1)

When goin in to do the above, don't think twice
Just say Allahumaini auzubika minal khubsi val khubais(2)

Before eating anything, start with Bismillah(3)
And end with Shukur Al Hamdullilah(4)

When a sneeze comes your way, say Al Hamdullilah(5)
And on hearing this everyone say Yar Hamoo Kullah(6)

On remembering a bad deed, while cruising in your car
With a sincere heart just repent and say Asthagh-firullah!(7)

Just before you sleep, instead of counting a star
Say Bismika Allahuma amootu va aahya(8)

Three words light to the mouth, heavy in reward
Subhan Allah(9), Al Humdullilah , Allah hu Akbar(10)
Always praise the Lord!

Well, over the last couple of months the Russians have been continuing the torture of the Chechens, 7 Serbian soldiers have been charged for war crimes and genocide and the shameful Hindus have been burning the Quran.

But no, the proud winners of this month's award must go to:

Sharon and Bush - True partners in crime.

Both of them have been newly appointed and the first thing on their agenda was to crush the Muslims. The first thing Bush did was bomb Iraq and Sharon couldn't wait to kill more Palestinian Muslims by ordering the blockade. The Qur'an clearly states that the whole non-Muslim world is one and united against the Muslims.

Yep, that's exactly what you'll be saying when we tell you about teh amazing facts about Muhammad ﷺ in Hindu scriptures. One thing we can tell you is that he's definitely not "INDIAN".... if you know what I mean. Check it out:

Recently in India, a fact-revealing book has been published. The book has been the topic of discussion and gossip all over the country. If the author of this book were a Muslim, he probably would have been arrested or murdered. Perhaps all copies of this book would have been confiscated. Maybe, even a ban would have been extended. A riot and violence would have broken out against innocent Muslims and their blood would have been shed.

What a year, was 570 A.D.
A person was born, a prophet to be
Muhammad (saw), that was his name
People were misguided and that's when he came
He would go on to leave all the idols behind
He was to be an example to all of mankind
Rabbi-al-Awal the 12th, that was the day
He came to this world to show us the way
He was born in Mecca, the holiest place
A life full of challenges he was to face
Abdullah (ra) his father, had by then passed away
Leaving Amina(ra) his mother, in her arms he lay
Haalima Sadia, took over his care
Until he was six, our prophet was there
His mother then died, he was left all alone
Abdul Muttalib (ra) his grand-dad, then made him his own
When our prophet was nine, his grandfather died

Here are 5 sayings of the Prophet (saw), which are directed to each and every one of us.

1. The Prophet said: 'The world is a prison for a believer and Paradise for the disbeliever.'

2. Narrated Abu Musa (RA): Some people asked Allah's messenger ﷺ 'Who is a very good Muslim'? He replied: 'One who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands.'

3. Narrated Abu Hurraira (RA) Allah's Messenger said: 'By Him in whose Hands my life is, none of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father and his children.'

How many times have you read an Islamic book or listened to a talk that contained fancy Arabic words, and you didn't have a clue what the geezer was chattin' about?

Well, here's your guide to the main 11 terms used in Islamic law (shari'ah):

1. Fardh: The Obligation. This is a ruling that must be carried out, if you don't it is a big-time sin. It is directly from Quran and Sunnah so to deny it is an act of kufr (disbelief). Example: The 5 pillars of Islam
2. Wajib: The necessary. This is a ruling that should be carried out, if not it will again be a sin, and Him (swt) upstairs will not be happy. So, to deny this act as obligatory is not kufr. Example: Eid Prayer and the Witr prayer after Isha.

Al-Haj Abdur-Rasjid Skinner embraced Islam 25 years ago. He is married to a Muslim and has six children. With Degrees in Psychology he currently works in Bradford Hospitals as a 'Consultant Clinical Psychologist'.

He is standing for the Conservative Party in Pendle in the upcoming General Elections (2001)Insha'Allah.

Sajid Iqbal, editor-The Revival, caught up with him for a chat and began by asking what made him embrace Islam?

JAKARTA, - Some 1,000 members of a youth wing of a Muslim political party rallied in downtown Jakarta Wednesday to demand the ousting of President Abdurrahman Wahid.

The protestors, from the Justice Guard of the Muslim Justice Party, mounted the protest hours before the politically-beleaguered Wahid was due home from a two-week overseas trip.

They packed the center of a roundabout, chanting "Allah is the Greatest." Waving posters and banners, they demanded that parliament depose the president, a Muslim scholar, for his failure to prevent the bloody unrest in several parts of the archipelago.

Britain designated 21 groups on Wednesday as "terrorist", including Sri

Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels, under a new anti-terrorism law designed to

halt funding and support for UK-based militant groups.
