[URL=http://www.learningquranonline.com]Importance Of Durood Shareef for Muslims Reading Quran Online [/URL]

Divine blessings on Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Salim) is the highest and the most meritorious act in our Deen. This "Divine Blessings" is called Durood Shareef.

When Almighty Allah sends Durood and Salaams upon Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Salim), He is actually blessing him. When the Malaa'ikah and the Muslims send Durood and Salaams to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Salim), they are actually showing Almighty Allah their respect for the Holy Prophet (Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Salim).

why did that make me slightly angry & defensive?

Save a Life Today

In Islam, life trumps all, yet Muslims are ignoring a simple and effective life-saving initiative.

“If anyone saves a life, it shall be as though they have saved the lives of all humanity.” (Qur’an 5:32)

Yep.

A few more days now.

And then it's 2011.

Who's looking forward to it?

Plans for the new year?

I know I've made some

John Pilger investigates the media's role in war. He traces the history of 'embedded' and independent reporting from the carnage of WWI to the current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

This was first broadcast on Tuesday 14 December 2010. Did anyone watch it? what do you make of it all?

Watch on itvPlayer, available until around 13 January 2011.

The question is in the title.

Can't make up my mind.

- Is it always good to be the 'better person' in a situation, however negative the consequences of your decision may make you feel? .

- Are we allowed to sometimes be immature with decisions just because we feel like it?

- Also, who's the most twisted person you've met? And why? If it's someone on TheRevival, please anonymise (we don't want any tension, do we?).

Your answers can be backed up with Islamic or moral justifications. I can see the answer to the second question being....'well, what do you think?'

How necessary is it to observe Ashurah?

Are there some who don't?

Are there some who put more significance on it?

How fundamental is it to Islam?

They are Women of the Year because: “They are fearless. Their life’s purpose is to be of service to Somali refugees, and their unwavering fortitude in the face of insurmountable obstacles is a testament to the warrior spirit of women.”
—Iman, cosmetics executive, model and 2006 Woman of the Year, born in Somalia

Her lifesaving efforts started in 1983, when she opened a one-room clinic on her family farm. As the government collapsed, refugees flocked to her, seeking food and care. Today she runs a camp housing approximately 90,000 people, mostly women and children because, as she says, “the men are dead, fighting, or have left Somalia to find work.”
