lol.

(please avoid the txt 1337 speak. I prefer good ole english!)

Believe it or not I personally lock far less topics than I am credited with.

And these days I have almost stopped moderating altogether.

Good to have you back though. Whoever you are! :twisted:

Silence is the best reply to a fool.

[size=12][b]Close extremist schools - Kelly[/b][/size]

Islamic schools that promote "isolationism" and extremism should be closed, Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly has said.

She added the government was opposed to any form of law contrary to British civil law, such as Sharia law.

She said the government had to "stamp out" Muslim schools which were trying to change British society to fit Islamic values.

"They should be shut down," she said. "Different institutions are open to abuse and where we find abuse we have got to stamp it out and prevent that happening."

Ms Kelly said the government would not allow any other form of law - such as Islamic Sharia law - to be legal for family use.

"We are not going down that route. We don't think that's compatible with Britain being a tolerant, diverse society that welcomes people of different faiths."

[b]Alarm over missing South Asians[/b]

The international "war on terror" has led to new patterns of disappearances in South Asia, human rights group Amnesty International says.

Hundreds of suspects had been removed without explanation in Pakistan, the group said in a report on Wednesday.

In Pakistan, the human rights group says many of those who disappeared have eventually been acknowledged as being held in Guantanamo Bay.

But the report, released on Wednesday, adds: "Others are believed still to be held in Pakistani detention although their precise whereabouts remain unknown."

Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Tasnim Aslam, told the Associated Press news agency that the authorities were responding to the threat of terrorism.

[b]Arabic T-shirt sparks airport row[/b]

An architect of Iraqi descent has said he was forced to remove a T-shirt that bore the words "We will not be silent" before boarding a flight at New York.

Raed Jarrar said security officials warned him his clothing was offensive after he checked in for a JetBlue flight to California on 12 August.

Mr Jarrar's black cotton T-shirt bore the slogan in both Arabic and English.

Mr Jarrar said he was told a number of passengers had complained about his T-shirt - apparently concerned at what the Arabic phrase meant - and asked him to remove it.

The slogan was in arabic & english, how could the passengers not understand english :? ....and how is the slogan offensive?

[b][size=18]Al-Walaa wal-Baraa The Character of the Believer[/size][/b]

from at-Tawheed Publications

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another fundamental aspect of our belief is the topic of Al Walaa wal Baraa’. This topic if understood correctly clearly distinguishes the kaafir from the Mu’min (believer) and lays down clear principles with regards to the alliance, support and friendship towards the kuffar.

This is a very misunderstood and neglected part of ones belief in today’s reality. We live in a world dominated by man made law with the authority in the hands of the kuffar, we find millions of Muslims residing in the lands of the kuffar having homes, businesses and families. The common misconception is that it is these governments in the western world that are providing for us our sustenance and allowing us to reside in their lands peacefully and hence we should therefore reciprocally befriend them and treat them with courteousness. At the same time living and interacting with the kuffar on a daily basis the Muslims have begun to befriend them to the point whereby they are treated better than Muslims. The consequences of this are that when these governments attack and kill Muslims in other parts of the world we are in no way objective of it and accept their decision to do so without resistance, we also begin to see Muslims taking positions within these governments believing that what they are doing is for the benefit of the Muslims. The reasons for this are down to the neglect of the concept walaa wal baraa’ which has lead people to apostasy without them even knowing it.

Al-walaa wal baraa’ is divided into two aspects, al-Hubb (love) and al-Bughoud (hatred), both of which have to be done purely for the sake of Allah (swt). Al-Hubb means to love for the sake of Allah (swt) otherwise known as Muwalaat. Al-Muwalaat is to accompany, to love, to support, to ally, to help, to elevate, to respect and to befriend, all of which must be done for the sake of Allah (swt) in the manner that He has commanded. Al-Bughoud on the other hand is to have hatred for the sake of Allah (swt) also known as al-Muadaat, which is the complete opposite to muwalaat. Hence the requirement upon the believers is to have muwalaat with the Muslims and to have muadaat against the kuffar, to love Allah (swt), the Messenger and the Muslims and have hatred for the kuffar, to love all that Allah (swt) commands us to love and show walaa towards them, to have no rejection or animosity towards any of the commands of Allah (swt) and to hate all that Allah (swt) hates together with those who hate Allah (swt) and the believers. "O you who believe, do not take the kafireen as awliyaa' instead of the Believers, do you wish to take Allah as a proof against you?" [EMQ 4: 144]

It must be clear in the minds of the Muslims that to love, support, ally, accompany, help, respect, elevate and befriend are attributes that should be directed solely to the Muslims and in no way towards the kuffar as Allah (swt) states in the Quran; "Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah. except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah." [EMQ 3: 28].

Al-Muwalaat is obligatory between the believers as Allah (swt) described the Muslims as a single brotherhood distinguishing us from the disbelievers. Allah (swt) says: "The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that ye may receive Mercy." [EMQ 49: 10]

Furthermore Allah (swt) warns us of the danger in taking the kuffar as our friends or allies; "O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them.” [EMQ 5: 51-57]

It needs to be mentioned that by having hatred for the kuffar in no way means that we mistreat them, rather our hatred is part of our worship and is done purely for the sake of Allah (swt). Our hatred is for their disbelief and rejection of Allah (swt) and the deen of Islam, thus our treatment towards them must be in accordance with the command of Allah (swt) in order not to treat them unjustly.

"Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loves those who are just." [EMQ 60: 8]

Having understood this concept it becomes engrained into our belief and becomes part of our life. This concept of al-Walaa wal-Baraa affects every part of our life, in our dealing with Muslims and the kuffar, in terms of the way we feel about them and our actions in relation to them. Abdullah ibn Abbas said: "Al Muwalaat is the Love in the heart and the total support by the limbs and the tongue for the Deen of Islam exclusively."

al-Walaa wal-Baraa forms the measurement for which we base our actions upon and it is the foundation by which all relationships within the Muslim community are formulated. The very testification to the shahaadah asserts this fundamental concept of al-Walaa wal-Baraa when we declare our rejection of all Taghoot and the complete and exclusive belief in Allah (swt). The fulfilment of Imaan is to fulfil its conditions and requirements in order to be truly deserving of the title; mu’min. The requirements of walaa and baraa are a very important aspect of our belief the negation of which will result in the failure to fulfil your Imaan. The Messenger Muhammad stated as narrated in Ahmad; “The most powerful knot of Imaan is to love for the sake of Allah (swt) and to hate for the sake of Allah (swt).”

Therefore in our current reality where we are living amongst the kuffar, where the governments of the western world have launched their crusade against the Muslims, where Muslims are being persecuted, arrested and detained, it is imperative that we maintain our walaa and baraa. We must understand the kuffar can never be equal to the Muslims, nor can there be any type of interfaith between us, nor any alliance or support for them and their cause as this will result in the neglecting of al-Walaa wal-Baraa and hence cause a deficiency in ones Imaan leading to the negation of it. If any Muslim makes Muwalaat to the kuffar, it is sin, however if they ally with them, they will become Murtad (apostate), but to ally with them to fight against Muslims, he becomes Murtad Harbie (an apostate at war with the Muslims).

We must stay clear of the kuffar, their beliefs and way of life, we must have hatred for their disobedience and carry hatred for their actions. We must not show any affection towards them nor to befriend them or to ally with them, we must not regard them as being better than the believers nor treat them better than the believers. We must however show affection towards the Muslims, to ally and support them, to love them for what they believe and the good they perform. We must keep company with Muslims and live amongst them, we must respect them at the same time having hatred for any sin they may do or any deviation they may carry. We must understand that to love and hate is done purely for the sake of Allah (swt) in accordance to whatever and whomever He (swt) loves and hates, as the highest and most foremost level of love and hate above all else is for Allah (swt) Himself.

“Whosoever possess the following three qualities will have the sweetness of faith; the one whom Allah and His messenger become more dearer to him than anything else, who loves a person and he loves him purely for the sake of Allah, and who hates to revert to disbelief as he hates to be thrown into hellfire” [Bukhari, Muslim]

[b]Description of Paradise[/b]
by Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim, Rahimahullaah

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ibn al-Qayyim said, in regards to the description of the Paradise and the delights that it contains:

"[b]And if you ask about its ground and its soil[/b], then it is of musk and saffron.

[b]And if you ask about its roof[/b], then it is the Throne of the Most Merciful.

[b]And if you ask about its rocks[/b], then they are pearls and jewels.

[b]And if you ask about its buildings[/b], then they are made of bricks of gold and silver.

[b]And if you ask about its trees,[/b] then it does not contain a single tree except that its trunk is made of gold and silver.

[b]And if you ask about its fruits[/b], then they are softer than butter and sweeter than honey.

[b]And if you ask about its leaves[/b], then they are softer than the softest cloth.

[b]And if you ask about its rivers[/b], then there are rivers of milk who's taste does not change, and rivers of wine that is delicious to those who drink it, and rivers of honey that is pure, and rivers of water that is fresh.

[b]And if you ask about their food[/b], then it is fruits from whatever they will choose, and the meat of whatever birds they desire.

[b]And if you ask about their drink[/b], then it is Tasneem, ginger, and Kaafoor.

[b]And if you ask about their drinking cups[/b], then they are crystal-clear and made of gold and silver.

[b]And if you ask about its shade,[/b] then a fast rider would ride in the shade of one of its trees for a hundred years and not escape it.

[b]And if you ask about its vastness[/b], then the lowest of its people would have within his kingdom and walls and palaces and gardens the distance that would be travelled in a thousand years.

[b]And if you ask about its tents and encampments[/b], then one tent is like a concealed pearl that is sixty miles long.

[b]And if you ask about its towers[/b], then they are rooms above rooms in buildings that have rivers running underneath them.

[b]And if you ask about how far it reaches into the sky[/b], then look at the shining star that is visible, as well as those that are far in the heavens that the eyesight cannot possibly reach.

[b]And if you ask about the clothing of its inhabitants[/b], then they are of silk and gold.

[b]And if you ask about its beds,[/b] then its blankets are of the finest silk laid out in the highest of its levels.

[b]And if you ask about the faces of its inhabitants and their beauty[/b], then they are like the image of the Moon.

[b]And if you ask about their age[/b], then they are young ones of 33 years in the image of Adam, the father of humanity.

[b]And if you ask about what they will be hearing[/b], then it is the singing of their wives from among the Hoor al-'Ayn, and better than that are the voices of the Angels and the Prophets, and better than that is the Speech of the Lord of the Worlds.

[b]And if you ask about their servants,[/b] then they are young boys of everlasting youth who resemble scattered pearls.

[b]And if you ask about their brides and wives[/b], then they are young and full-breasted and have had the liquid of youth flow through their limbs; the Sun runs along the beauty of her face if she shows it, light shines from between her teeth if she smiles; if you meet her love, then say whatever you want regarding the joining of two lights; he sees his face in the roundness of her cheek as if he is looking into a polished mirror, and he sees the brightness from behind her muscles and bones; if she were to be unleashed upon the World, she would fill what is between the Heavens and the Earth with a beautiful wind, and the mouths of the creation would glorifiy, praise, and exclaim greatness, and everything between the East and the West would be adorned for her, and every eye would be shut from everthing but her, and the light of the Sun would be outshone just as the light of the Sun outshines the light of the stars, and everyone on the face of the Earth would believe in the Ever-Living, the One who Sustains and Protects all the exists.

And the covering on her head is better than the World and all that is in it, and she does not increase with age except in beauty; free from an umbilical cord, childbirth and menses, and pure of mucous, saliva, urine and other filthy things; her youth never fades, her clothing is never worn out, no garment can be created that matches her beauty, and no one who is with her can ever become bored; her attention is restricted to her husband, so she desires none but him, just as his attention is restricted to her so she is the sole object of his desire, and he is with her in utmost safety and security, as none has touched her before of either humans or Jinn.

[b]And if you ask about the Day of Increase (in reward) and the visit of the all-Mighty, all-Wise, and the sight of His Face[/b] - free from any resemblance or likeness to anything - as you see the Sun in the middle of the day and the full Moon on a cloudless night, then listen on the day that the caller will call: 'O People of Paradise! Your Lord - Blessed and Exalted - requests you to visit Him, so come to visit Him!' So they will say: 'We hear and obey!'

Until, when they finally reach the wide valley where they will all meet - and none of them will turn down the request of the caller - the Lord - Blessed and Exalted - will order His Chair to be brought there. Then, pulpits of light will emerge, as well as pulpits of pearls, gemstone, gold, and silver. The lowest of them in rank will sit on sheets of musk, and will not see what those who are on the chairs above them are given. When they are comfortable where they are sitting and are secure in their places, and the caller calls: 'O People of Paradise! You have an appointment with Allaah in which He wishes to reward you!' So they will say: 'And what is that reward? Has He not already made our faces bright, made our scales heavy, entered us into Paradise, and pushed us away from the Fire?'

And when they are like that, all of a sudden a light shines that encompasses all of Paradise. So, they raise their heads, and, behold: the Compeller - Exalted is He, and Holy are His Names - has come to them from above them and majestified them and said: 'O People of Paradise! Peace be upon you!' So, this greeting will not be responded to with anything better than: 'O Allaah! You are Peace, and from You is Peace! Blessed are You, O possessor of Majesty and Honor!' So the Lord - Blessed and Exalted - will laugh to them and say: 'O People of Paradise! Where are those who used to obey Me without having ever seen Me? This is the Day of Increase!'

So, they will all give the same response: 'We are pleased, so be pleased with us!' So, He will say: 'O People of Paradise! If I were not pleased with you, I would not have made you inhabitants of My Paradise! So, ask of Me!' So, they will all give the same response: 'Show us your Face so that we may look at it!' So, the Lord - Mighty and Majestic - will remove his covering and will majestify them and will cover them with His Light, which, if Allaah - the Exalted - had not Willed not to burn them, would have burned them.

And there will not remain a single person in this gathering except that his Lord - the Exalted - will speak to him and say: 'Do you remember the day that you did this and that?' and He will remind him of some of his bad deeds in the Worldy life, so he will say: 'O Lord! Will you not forgive me?' So, He will say: 'Of course! You have not reached this position of yours (in Paradise) except by my forgiveness.'

So, how sweet is this speech to the ears, and how cooled are the righteous eyes by the glance at His Noble Face in the Afterlife...

{Some faces that Day will be shining and radiant, l ooking at their Lord...} (al-Qiyaamah:22-3)

[from the amazing and beautiful book Haadi al-Arwaah ilaa Bilaad il-Afraah by Ibn al-Qayyim, pg. 193]

Don't know what people around you do when they hear a male read a naat but i know certainly in the mehfils where I have been we dont "gawk" or "gaze" at the males, rather lose ourselves in the thoughts of our Beloved Prophet

Spot on sis.

1. You can bury it in a place where people normally would not walk;

2. You can throw them (Quran and Islamic literature) in flowing water by tying it with something heavy;

3. Burn them (Quran and Islamic literature), but only after erasing the name of Allah Most High, His Angels and Messengers.

You mention you have quite alot to dispose, then I think option 1 or 2 would be practical.

Jazakallah for that.

I cant oviosuly burn them then cz it will take too loong erasing everything and what if i missd out sumthing, cant think of anywher wer i cud bury them and 3irdly ther isnt a river or sumthing close by and even if i was to thouw them in a river, it wud only end up on sum riverbank sumwher.

As I said, if you have alot to dispose of, then you can either bury it in a place where people normally would not walk or throw them in flowing water by tying it with something heavy, and hopefully it should sink to the bottom. The point of it being that the names of Allah Most High, His Angels and Messengers are erased.

So if Md wants to be 'controversial' let him. He knows the rules. If he abides by them he is welcome. If not, well then I am sure people are clear on that as it is. But please only let me steer conversations. Let me decide if certain discussions take place or not. unless the topic is so out of bounds it is not acceptable to be on the forum by any member.
