One day, while travelling north, one of the Arab tribes from Mecca met a hermit in the desert. Some of the men stopped to speak with him. Hermits were known to be wise and the Arabs often asked their advice. The hermit asked where they had come from. When they replied that they were from Mecca, he told them that Allah would soon send a prophet, who would come from their people. They asked the name of this prophet and the hermit answered that his name would be Muhammad and that he would guide them to a new way of life.
Meanwhile in Mecca, Aminah, although saddened by the loss of her husband, felt especially well and strong as she awaited the birth of her baby. During this time she dreamt of many things. On one occasion it was as if a great light were shining out of her, and on another she heard a voice telling her that she would have a boy and that his name would be Muhammad. She never forgot that voice but she told no one about it.
On Monday, the twelfth day of Rabi al-Awwal in the Year of the Elephant, Aminah gave birth to a son. Allah sends man many signs when one of His chosen Prophets is born and on that twelfth day of Rabi al-Awwal in the year 570 A.D, many such signs were seen. Some were seen by Jewish scholars who had read in their scriptures of a coming Prophet. One of these learned men in Yathrib, for instance, saw a brilliant new star he had never seen before as he studied the heavens that night. He called the people around him and,
pointing the star out to them, told them a Prophet must have been born. That same night another Jew was passing by the meeting place of the leaders of Quraysh in Mecca. He asked them if a baby boy had just been born and told them that if it were true, this would be the Prophet of the Arab nation.
Aminah sent news of the birth to her father-in-law, 'Abd al-Muttalib, who was sitting near the Ka'bah at the time. He was very happy and began at once to think of a name for the boy. An ordinary name would not do. Six days came and went and still he had not decided. But on the seventh day, as he lay asleep near the Ka'bah, 'Abd al-Muttalib dreamt that he should give the baby the unusual name of Muhammad, just as Aminah herself had dreamt. And the child was called Muhammad (pbuh), which means 'the Praised One'. When 'Abd al-Muttalib told the leaders of Quraysh what he had named his grandson, many of them asked, 'Why did you not choose the sort of name that is used by our people?' At once he replied, 'I want him to be praised by Allah in the heavens and praised by men on earth

The international financial crisis,Ratified the Messenger of God peace be upon him
5 comments Posted by ghoneem at 9:36 PM
In the beginning, we see the impact of both capitalism and "America" the uni-polar and the leader of earth, starting with the small bubble named usury which has grown to include usurious loans, real estate mortgage, repacking credits then reselling them as well as all kinds of usury.
Which leads to the continuity of selling illusions and selling what one's does not posses , all these are considered as well different kinds of usury .
And what have that resulted in? That resulted in a war from God and his messenger.
Allah says in his holy book Qur'an: "Surely, Allah encompasses all that they do" - Al-E-Imran - 120
Do you think God who said so would leave them to spread the corruption with its different kinds and forms???
Allah also says: "Knowest thou not that it is Allah unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and ye have not, beside Allah, any friend or helper?" - Al-Baqara – 107
He also says: "O ye who believe! Observe your duty to Allah, and give up what remaineth (due to you) from usury, if ye are (in truth) believers. (278) and if ye do not, then be warned of war (against you) from Allah and His messenger." - Al-Baqara – 278-279
The prophet of Islam "Muhammad – PBUH- said: "Allah cursed the eater of riba, (usury/interest) and the one who feeds it, and its witness and its writer"
He also said – PBUH -: "No people among whom adultery and riba become openly practiced unless they have earned the punishment of God". Ratified the Messenger of God peace be upon him.
So, usury had spread and the result was a war from God and his messenger as well.
War within every aspect and in every way, a war on nerves, hearts, prosperity, tranquility and production.
A war that spread diseases, lead to death and lead to the impoverishment of nations and their demolition, or to their collapse, and all that had already happened.
Chaos, bankruptcy, exceptional summits, pumping liquidity, deficit Declaration, decreasing money to the extent that some nations declared bankruptcy and some are on the verge of disappearing... as well as Recession, degradation, which all were a result of usury.
So, this is the problem and its result... Then, how are they going to face it??
Well, they have invented many of those solutions... as pumping liquidity in banks continuously, But until when will that continue to happen??
Printing currency without a balance, more taxes on the poor payers? Or will they get usurious loans once again?? And to get the cure from the main illness!
These all are their solutions, but they only will lead to more destruction and financial earthquakes.
But ours are different ones, as Islam is a mercy to the world. As Islam's solutions appear now to be the only valuable and real ones.
We won't present it from our point of view but from views and confessions of many western economists.
They all declared that this problem has but two solutions:
1 – The banks interest rates should be decreased to zero.
2 – The tax's rates must be from 2:3 % which is the obligatory charity tax "Al-zakah" in Islam.
We find that those 2 rules have their own roots from Islam and they do not exist but in it.
Allahu Akbar... Really God is the greatest.
Here is Bovis Fanson "editor-in-chief for challenger magazine", says: "the negative production emerging from usury has leaded the world to abyss". He adds: I think we need to read "Al-Qur'an" in order to understand what is happening to us and to our banks ".
And here is Roland Raskin "editor-in-chief for le journal de finance magazine " , in an article named " is wall-street qualified for Islam ?" , he demanded in his article to practice Islam's principles in order to get out of this crisis .
Moreover, the French supreme body for financial control has published a rule which forbid the circulation of any of those fictious and symbolic transactions which represent the capitalistic system and abide the payment within 3 days after the conclusion of any contract. And this also is one of Islam's rules in Shareea.
These were some of many opinions of western economics and professionals. So, how come we don't cherish this religion?? After what non-Muslims westerns said about it??
Let's be proud of our religion, and let's read our holy book "Al-Qur'an" as well as our Sunnah "prophet's speeches"
May be the whole world won't convert to Islam, and this is evident through what is mentioned in Qur'an, that many nations insisted on pagan and were stubborn against God's rules as well as his prophets.
As God says : "Surely, thou canst not guide whomsoever thou lovest , but Allah guides whomsoever He pleases" - Al Kassas - 56
But we – as Muslims – should take that as a lesson to cherish our religion and thank Allah for being Muslims............
Best regards
NO GOD BUT ALLAH,MUHAMMAD IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH
In a previous topic , we were discussing how war and batteling were not Muhammad's innovation , But an older way which was used by prophets before prophet Muhammad's time like Jesus and moses peacs be upon them all .
And today , i have chosen to my post the title of (From darkness to light .. the path to rightness) which is describing exactly the way Arabs - the folk that Muhammad was born amongst- were before the time of Muhammad and his divine message ...
A total darkness with a great conflict between two Ancient nations at the time , namely The Persian nation and the Roman nation.And before discribing that in details , we have to mention exactly why we are bothering to explain and discuss that matter at this point .
and this will be illustrated throught a small example ..
We'll asume that i am to buy a deserted mansion which is completely ruined and wrecked ,But after a continous and exhausting work in it all by my self , it is turned into a fine piece of art .After that i invited you to my mansion , will you appreciate my exerted efforts ??of course you won't , this won't happen unless you get to know how damaged it was when i first bought it , and also get to know that i have done that all alone with no help from no one whatsoever ...
For all those reasons , i thought that before mentioning prophet Muhammad's efforts and struggle that made this religion which mainly started with only the efforts of one man to be the fastest religion to spread all over the world , i thought i should mention the habits and manners or the state of the arab community before prophet Muhammad's call .
And i will mention some of them as an example :
1) ( Female infanticide ) which means that men considered giving birth to a female baby as a disgrace that should be hidden , and so a man would burry his female baby alive so as to hide his disgrace in dust.But that was until Muhammad's call which completely prohibited such behavior .And This is mentioned in the Holy Quraan as Almighty God says :
{ Wa-itha almawoodatu su-ilat }{ Bi-ayyi thanbin qutilat }--- 8. And when the female-infant buried alive is questioned about 9. `For what crime was she killed ?' AL-TAKWEER---
2) man killing his own kids fearing poverty or famine ..Also that was completely diminished when the call of light got spread by prophet Muhammad .And this is also mentioned in the holy Quraan as God says :
{ Wala taqtuloo awladakum khashyata imlaqin nahnu narzuquhum wa-iyyakum inna qatlahum kana khit-an kabeeran }
---and that you slay not your children for fear of poverty - it is WE who provide for you and for them "---
and "we" here is spoken by Almighty God .
3) The presence of known places to practice Adultery , these places where known by the presence of red flags on the roof of the place so that prostitution is practiced for money..
But this also was only present until Islam spread , which stated that this practice is completely prohibited in Islam .and this is mentioned also in the Holy Quraan as God says :
{ Alzzaniyatu waalzzanee faijlidoo kulla wahidin minhuma mi-ata jaldatin wala ta-khudthukum bihima ra-fatun fee deeni Allahi... }
---The adulteress and the adulterer - flog each one of them with a hundred stripes. And let not pity for the twain take hold of you in executing the judgment of ALLAH,---
4) The spread of many mounting raids and wars of plunder and looting , where the strong would attack the weak with no mercy .They had many great wars that are memoriable and famous as they lasted for many long years and were named in history books by : " The days of Arabs "Where " A day" for them at that time meant a raid . But that Also stopped when the call of Allah to prophit Muhammad came to light , As it prohibited robbing in this way , and setted rules , reasons and conditions which regulate such raids .
* And from the reasons that were set for such raids by islam :
a) To Stop aggression aginst one's self and for self - defense .
b) To secure the call of Muhammad to God only and to give the apportunity to those who wanted to convert to Islam but couldn't due to their weakness .
c) To claim the usurped rights .
d) To Support right and justice .
* As for some of the conditions and rules set for such raids :
a) Nobility and clarity in means and objectives .
b) To Only fight with militants and not to practice aggression on civilians .
c) If the enemy inclines to peace , then that should be it , And there should be no hostility except against wrongdoers .
d) To maintain the good treatment of prisoners .
e) To Preserve the environment as trees , animals and water...etcf) Preserving the religious freedom of the monks and nuns who lives in monasteries and not to subject them to any harm .
5) Also one of the the most important bad habits that were practiced by arabs was Worshiping idols which are solid Statues made by humans themselves , They made those statues as an equal to God , offering it food , Prostrating ( sujud ) to them and requesting goodness and seeking refuge in them , they even would ask them to grant them sons .This Also was changed completely when prophet Muhammad recieved God's call to Worship Allah and no body but him .
This is illustrated in Quraan as God says :
{ Qul taAAalaw atlu ma harrama rabbukum AAalaykum alla tushrikoo bihi shay-an ... }
----Say, `I will recite to you what your Lord has forbidden, that you associate not anything as partner with HIM;----
These were some of Arab's bad habits and manners before the call of Muhammad and his rise among them .such manners assure how awfull were arabs before Islam , and how the darkness of ignorance was nesting their minds .
The question now is :
How could a single man attracts the attention of this kind of Mentality all by himself ???
Has he faced difficulties ??
or was the way paved for him ??
Many questions that we will try to find for it a satisfying answer.. if we're still alive and god wills it ..
Has he faced difficulties ??
or was the way paved for him ??
Many questions that we will try to find for it a satisfying answer.. if we're still alive and god wills it ..
Finally ,
{ Rabbana la tuzigh quloobana baAAda ith hadaytana wahab lana min ladunka rahmatan innaka anta alwahhabu }
----`Our Lord, let not our hearts become perverse after Thou hast guided us, and bestow on us mercy from Thyself; surely Thou art the Great Bestower;----
---------------------------------
After my first post ARE YOU A TERRORIST ??
i had only one comment from an AMERICAN who gave me a very respectable point of view which encouraged me to write my second post ..
I decided to change my way as although i had a good number from western visitors but none of them gave me any comment .
So , I'll begin to define " ISLAM " for everyone who needs to know and also , I'll be explaining how ISLAM is not a religion of hostility
Also , i want to thank everyone who gave me his comment , encouragement and help .,, especially the AMERICAN visitor who said that Many people in the past have used religion as an excuse for war. Today it is Islam's turn to be highlighted as it was for the Nazi's in the 20th century. History is a cycle of heroes and villains. One day it will be someone Else's turn .
Islam !!!!!!
it's not a new religion , but the same message that God wanted to Convey to all people alike ,
Islam is both a religion a complete way of life , Muslims follow this religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness .
The Arabic word 'Islam' simply means ' submission to only Allah ' , and is derived from an Arabic word that means 'peace' .
In the religious context it means the complete submission to the will of God .
" Muhammadanism " is thus a misnomer because it suggests that Muslims worship Muhammad (peace be upon him) rather than God .
'Allah' is the Arabic name for God , which is used by Arab Muslims .
Islam is not Just for Arabs but Arabic is the language of Quraan .
The Truth of Islam is meant for all people regardless of race , nationality or linguistic background .
Taking a look at the Islamic World , from Nigeria to Bosnia and from Malaysia to Afghanistan is enough to prove that Islam is a Universal message for all of mankind , not to mention the fact that significant numbers of Europeans and Americans of all races and ethnic backgrounds are coming into Islam frequently .

Taking a look at the Islamic World , from Nigeria to Bosnia and from Malaysia to Afghanistan is enough to prove that Islam is a Universal message for all of mankind , not to mention the fact that significant numbers of Europeans and Americans of all races and ethnic backgrounds are coming into Islam frequently .
Islam is a strictly monotheistic religion , and its adherents , called Muslims , regard the Prophet Muhammad as the last and most perfect of God's messengers , who include Adam , Abraham , Moses , Jesus ..
The sacred scripture of Islam is the Quraan , it contains God's revelations to Muhammad ,The sayings and deeds of the Prophet recounted in the sunna an important source of belief and practice in Islam.
The religious obligations of all Muslims are summed up in the Five Pillars of Islam , which include belief in God and his Prophet and obligations of prayer, charity, pilgrimage, and fasting .
Observant Muslims pray five times a day and join in community worship on Fridays at the mosque worship is led by an imam
and The month of Ramadan is set for fasting
The core of Islam is " QURAAN ", it is the final revelation by the transcendent GOD to MUHAMMAD , the Prophet of Islam ; since the Divine Word was revealed in Arabic , this language is used in Islamic religious practice worldwide .
Muslims believe in final reward and punishment, and the unity of the umma , the “nation” of Islam .
Islam views the Message of Muhammad as the continuation and the fulfillment of a lineage of Prophecy that includes figures from the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, notably Adam , Noah , Abraham , Moses , David , and Jesus .
Islamic law reserves a communal entity status for the ahl al-kitab - People of the Book - , i.e., those with revealed religions , including Jews and Christians .
Islam also recognizes a number of extra-biblical prophets, such as HUD, SALIH , SHuaiB, and others of more obscure origin . The chief angels are Gabriel and Michael ; devils are the evil jinn .
The Quraan exhibits a firmly actionalist system of ethics based on individual responsibility in the realization of the optimal social, economic, and political structure of the umma , the universal community of believers .
Mutual consultation for the ideal political system , just and fair business practices in the economic system , and financial and moral responsibility to one's extended family members in the social system are to be supplemented by various safety nets for the more vulnerable segments of societydowry due the bride). Though no self-denial is advocated, the individual is urged to exercise restraint over his and her natural appetites and to show forgivness) in all dealings with one's fellow human beings. Pride and greed are especially condemned, as they lead to injustice to others and hence to oneself ultimately leading to the path of self-destruction. There is no concept of sinful nature, but recurrent sin leads to the hardening of the soul and the eventual silencing of one's conscience. The partial rewards and opportunities provided in this life are considered to be just as much a test to the individual as the difficulties and hardships, and one is exhorted to exercise sabr (steadfastness) in the face of life's challenges.
finally
Our Lord, let not our hearts become perverse after Thou hast guided us, and bestow on us mercy from Thyself; surely Thou art the Great Bestower .
Are you a terrorist??
By chance , I was talking to an American person and our conversation goes on till he knew that I m MUSLIM , Suddenly he changed the way he talks and asked me ," are you a TERRORIST ?"
i did my best to keep him online with me and i concluded that he is repeating some phrases and words as TERRORIST, BACKWARD ,THIRD WORLD ,WOMEN PERSECUTION, and he believed in all that through media and press which he blind trusted ...
SO , they always take a final decision and a prejudgment that we are accused all the time , with bad manners and there is no chance to defend ..
BUT i believe that being a Muslim I'm in the straight path and i must defend what i believe in to improve my point of view ..
BUT i believe that being a Muslim I'm in the straight path and i must defend what i believe in to improve my point of view ..
NOW lets discuss the first indictment ......
Prophet MOHAMED is a terrorist who spread religion of ISLAM by slaying the innocents , transgression and ordering his companions to spread fighting and hostility ?????????
My reply : IN THE NAME OF ALLAH
My reply : IN THE NAME OF ALLAH
IS the fighting delivered by MUHAMMAD and his companions or is it an old matter that was started years before him?????
its an unquestionable matter that battling is a very old matter that occurred by previous nations and not innovated by prophet MUHAMMAD
MY proof to that is :
human lived on earth were fighting as a result of social relationship by reasons of desire of power, intolerance and competition , all that before God's REVEALED BOOKS
human lived on earth were fighting as a result of social relationship by reasons of desire of power, intolerance and competition , all that before God's REVEALED BOOKS
After prophets were sent , the means of fighting took another ways and motives to publish peace , faith and facing evils and disbelievers so that it would allow people to worship ALLAH ( god Almighty ) only .
God's REVEALED BOOKS as Torah , Gospel and Quraan , all referred to fighting disbelievers and encouraged the companions " of prophet Muhammad " to fight only to spread the way of ALLAH
At Torah , we find a phrase like ," God brings his swords from sheath and never back it again "
At Gospel , as MESSIAH "JESUS , son of MARRY who are granted nearness to GOD " said his famous phrase ," IF SOMEONE spank you ON YOUR RIGHT cheek TURN TO HIM UR LEFT one"
He also said " Don't think i came to make a peace on earth but SWORD i came to make , the son in disagreement with parents , daughter with her mother , so the enemy of the person will be his own relatives "
that's the words of JESUS .
and our prophet MUHAMMAD said the same meaning " GOD sent me down by SWORD till the day of judgment to make all the people worship only ALLAH "
that's the words of JESUS .
and our prophet MUHAMMAD said the same meaning " GOD sent me down by SWORD till the day of judgment to make all the people worship only ALLAH "
SO , they all have the same aim and the same manner " to worship only ALLAH " and that's what JESUS and MUHAMMAD meant , the disagreement and sword only to spread the FAITH and there's many other examples from Torah and Gospels containing the hostility and fighting but for the worship of Allah ..
Quraan and Sunna - the words of prophet Muhammad - contains the same words with the same aim
SO , MUHAMMAD completes the same thread of prophets before his time ........
FINALLY , i THINK We've ANSWERED this inquiry briefly ,
And next time if GOD allowed us to be living , we will define the meaning of ISLAM and why it allowed fighting ?
And next time if GOD allowed us to be living , we will define the meaning of ISLAM and why it allowed fighting ?
also , whats the meaning of battling "In the name of Allah" ?
Is there any transgressions in ISLAM at the time of wars , or it is confined by rules ?
If there are rules , what are they ?
Our Lord , let not our hearts become perverse after Thou hast guided us , and bestow on us mercy from Thyself , surely Thou art the Great Bestower
