Some brothers are going to Palestine - Gaza insha'Allah, to give humanitarian aid and to help the children and people of Gaza. As you can imagine a lot of money is needed to complete the objectives and goals inside palestine. Food, aid/medicine, shelter, medical resources, toys, sport facilities, etc.

So could you please donate generously and may Allah (swt) accept all our efforts. Ameen.

The Life of Muhammad
Monday 11th July, 21:00 on BBC Two

In a ground-breaking first for British television, this three-part series presented by Rageh Omaar charts the life of Muhammad, a man who - for the billion and half Muslims across the globe - is the messenger and final prophet of God.

In a journey that is both literal and historical and beginning in Muhammad's birthplace of Mecca, Omaar investigates the Arabia Muhammad was born into - a world of tribal loyalties and polytheistic religion.

I am genuinely getting very annoyed now.

I've just seen some article, albeit from the ohsocrappy daily star, saying that there are now 'Shariah enforced zones' where there are bunches of people going around demanding that people follow the shariah! And before you assume this is just a rag being sensationalist as I originally thought, Its not- supposedly it's actually happening, and this group 'MuslimsAgainstCrusades' actually exists. I saw it quoted here http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread726772 and if you google the quote you'll see lots of links for it though its been taken off the actual site.

The UK's Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has launched an emergency appeal to help the more than 10 million people affected by severe drought in the Horn of Africa. The BBC's Ben Brown is the first TV journalist to visit the Dadaab refugee camp in eastern Kenya, where more than 1,000 people arrive each day seeking help.

Islam has been around for centuries now and Muslims had the opportunity to rule the world with the Islamic way of life. It was during this period that Muslims spread the Quran education all over the world. For some years, Muslims were the torch bearers of literature, science and architect. It is during this rule that you can observe the greatest creations and achievements of Muslims.For more details please visit the site below:

The Uniqueness and Importance of Isnaad
Shaykh Mohammed Daniel

Verily Allaah, all praises and thanks are due to him alone, has blessed this Ummah with the honour of Isnaad. It is that continuous and unbroken chain that serves to preserve and protect this Ummah (nation) from any falsities. It is a unique and salient feature of this Ummah and no other nation has ever in the past been bestowed with it. Al-Khateeb al-Baghdadi (RA) in his book ‘Sharaf Ashaab al-Hadith’ (The honour of the people of Hadith) narrates from Mohammed ibn Hatim ibn Muzafar (RA) that he said:

Palestinians to play first World Cup qualifier at home

The Palestinian national football team are due to play its first World Cup qualifier on home soil.

The team are playing against Afghanistan in the second leg of a qualifying match for the Brazil World Cup in 2014.

Thousands are expected to pack the al-Ram stadium in Ramallah to witness a piece of Palestinian football history.

In the past, the team has had to play its home games in Jordan because of security concerns in the West Bank.

g>First leg victory

Palestinians do not have a state but they do have a football team.

They won the first leg 2-0 so barring a collapse should advance to the next stage.

Google have this past week instroduced Google Plus - its like facebook but not facebook.

It also apparently gets many things "right" that facebook doesn't.

Currently Google Plus is in beta and you need to request an invite from the link above to join, but once any bugs have been ironed out, it will be open to everyone.

I currently dont use either, but it will be interesting where they both end up.

Prediction: Facebook will lose.

In a document that read more as a short constitutional declaration, Al-Azhar defends universal human rights and rejects 'the theocratic state' as un-Islamic and autocratic by nature

In a statement titled “Al-Azhar Document” and read on national television, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed El-Tayeb, the country’s highest religious authority, outlined his institution’s vision on key political, social and economic issues that have been subject to raging debates across the country for months.
