IRAN READY TO FIGHT U.S.

Ayatollah Khamanei said his nation is ready to take on the might of America in any war.

In a speech, Iranian leader said U.S. would face an "iron fist".

Iran has never been defeated by United Stated since the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Washington is desperate to break that record. It wants to show that it can achieve victory against Iran.

It is currently using the IAEA, International Atomic Energy Agency, to wip up fear of Iran. Aim is to make Arab nations take on Iran. That is because U.S. itself fears a war with Iran. It is in no position to confront Iran. U.S. forces are already struggling badly against the poorly armed Talibans. Some experts even speak of imminent defeat for America in Afganistan.

For me

published by LookingToSee on 8 November, 2011 - 16:12

For me,
-the happiness of a child i've never met
-the thought that an orphan will eat tonight
-the idea that a child will learn something that will save his or her life
-the concept of giving hope to children who have seen what no child should have ever seen

for me, this is more important than writing a personal statement about how amazing i am because of the life opportunities that have come my way that i have no control over, its more important than selling myself to a university which only wants the top of everything and dont really care about Lilly, its more important than summarizing my life in 4,000 words.

so, during charity week. i didnt touch my personal statement and devouted myself to this cause. to what mattered.

In The Name Of Allah...

Asslamu'Alaykoum Biggrin

Just had to share some of these: Please take the time to read it all, jazakhallah..

The Beloved Prophet(saw) said;

> "If you read the Kalimah with conviction just once, Jannah becomes upon you

> "I only curse 3 types of people;"

1) Those who do not look after their parents when they are in old age
2) Those people who do not take the full advantage of the blessed month of Ramadan
3) Those people who do not say 'Saalallahu-Alayhay-wa-aalahay-wassalam' when my name is mentioned

> An intelligent person is one who is constantly thinking about and preparing for death

Isn't it funny?

Funny how we believe what the newspapers say.... but question what the Qur'an says...

Why are my duas not accepted?

published by TPOS on 4 November, 2011 - 17:10

Q. I am aware that upon doing dua, one should persist and not become impatient saying, “I did dua but it was not answered.”

However, one thing that has confused me is how a dua done at time when it is stated that dua is readily granted appears not to have been granted.

A In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Making du῾ā is from amongst the shortest and fastest routes that leads one to Allah swt. Du῾ā is a display of humility and humbleness. The slave of Allah testifies his weakness and surrenders his affairs to His Master. To understand the reality of du῾ā, ponder over the following ahādith:

Wearing Niqab during Hajj

published by TPOS on 4 November, 2011 - 16:55

(Don't quite understand this - how are you meant to wear a niqab w/o letting it touch your face. I thought no one wore niqab in ihram)

Question

While performing Hajj is it necessary that the Niqaab of a women does not touch her face while she is in Ihraam? Can she give some charity if she finds this difficult?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Leaving the face uncovered is part of the woman’s Ihrām. Nabi Sallallāhu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said:

“The Ihrām of a female is in her face and the Ihrām of a man is in his head.”
(Sunan Ad-Dāru Qutni, Hadīth No. 2761)[1]
