[b]Return to Allah - Tawba[/b]

Unfortunately many people do not understand the reality of tawba. The word tawba (generally translated as repentance) is derived from its tri-literal root tawba, which means "al-rujoo"(to return). So the question is what is the relationship between the two words?

This concept can be understood from a very famous statement of Abu Bakr Al Saddique (RA), who said, "The Mujahid is he who struggles against his ego (nafs) and the Muhajir is the one who migrates from mistakes and sins".

In connection with the word tawba, this statement defines its reality, which lies in migrating from the land of sins and shortcomings and returning to Allah (swt) as the sole objective of one's life.

[b]The Importance of Joining a Jama'ah (Group)[/b]

Nations, societes and ideologies are not revived by chance or sotting in the comforts of the home. To rebuild and reorganise our institutions, we need to firstly become well organised, structured, systematic and disciplined.

Take the business field as an example, today, the likes of Microsoft, BT, Vodafone, O2, McDonald's etc. are dominating world markets, to extent that they can dictate the direction of politics and even change foreign policies, which has become well known and undeniable fact.

Yep, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

It’s so easy to be friendly, available, reliable, on a level, supportive and helpful when things are all good….its easy to be a “good friend” when there is no stress or problems in your mate’s life…

However, the real test of friendship takes place when your friend needs you…when he/she is undergoing some stress or difficulties in their life…and whether you’re there for them or not determines whether or not you’re a “true friend” and a good Muslim.

Friendships are put to the test this way.
