A family in
Karachi was puzzled
when the coffin of their dead mother
arrived from the USA . It was sent by
one of the daughters. The dead body
was so tightly squeezed inside the
coffin with no space left in it !
When they opened the
lid, they found a letter
on top , which read as follows:


"Dear brothers
and sisters, I am sending our mother's body to
you, since it was her wish that she should be
cremated in the grave yard in mewa shah.
Sorry, I could not come along as all
of my paid leaves are consumed.
You will find inside
the coffin ,
under Amma's body, 12 cans of cheese,
10 packets of chocolates and 8 packets
of Badam.
Please divide these among
all of you. On Amma's feet you will
find a new pair of Reebok shoes(size 10)
for Kassam Bhai . Also, there are 2 pairs
of shoes for Jubeda's and Jarina's sons.
Hope the sizes are correct.
Amma is
wearing 6 American T-Shirts.
The large size is
for Sattar
Bhai
and the others are for my nephews.
Just distribute them among yourselves.
The 2 new Jeans that Amma is wearing
are for the boys. The Swiss watch that
Johra
Bai wanted is on Amma's left wrist.
Kulsum Aunty,
Amma is wearing the
necklace, earrings and ring that you
asked for. Please take them. The 6 white
cotton socks that Amma is wearing
must be divided among my teenager nephews.
Please distribute all these uniformly and
if anything more required tell me now,
since our Abba is also not keeping well
nowadays ."

won't do it again!


There was a tradesman, a painter named Jack, who was very interested in making a dollar where he could. So he often would thin down his paint to make it go a wee bit further. As it happened, he got away with this for some time. Eventually the local church decided to do a big restoration project. Jack put in a painting bid and, because his price was so competitive, he got the job. And so he started, erecting the trestles and putting up the planks, and buying the paint and thinning it down with turpentine.

Jack was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly done, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder. The sky opened and the rain poured down, washing the thin paint from all over the church and knocking Jack off the scaffold to land on the lawn.

Jack was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he fell on his knees and cried, "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?"

And from the thunder, a mighty Voice spoke,

"Repaint! Repaint! And Thin no more!"

A man goes to his doctor and says, "I don't think my wife's hearing is as good as it used to be. What should I do?"

The doctor replies, "Try this test to find out for sure. When your wife is in the kitchen doing dishes, stand fifteen feet behind her and ask her a question, if she doesn't respond keep moving closer asking the question until she hears you." The man goes home and sees his wife preparing dinner.

He stands fifteen feet behind her and says, "What's for dinner, honey?" He gets no response, so he moves to ten feet behind her and asks again. Still no response, so he moves to five feet. No answer.

Finally he stands directly behind her and says, "Honey, what's for supper?" She replies, "For the fourth time, I SAID CHICKEN, you DEAF IDIOT!"

A small country was in deep financial trouble. The prime minister called all the ministers for a brain storming session.

After many ideas were brought up, one said "I got it, Let's have a war with USA, we will loose and then they will give us a lot of money to rebuild the country, just like Germany and Japan"

Everyone jumped up and down in joy, kissed the man, picked him up on the shoulder and danced around.

Suddenly the prime misnister shouted, "Quite! I say Quite!" there was a silence, as he continued "What if we win?"

We are living in an age of crisis - economic crisis, political crisis, military crisis. But, today, the most crucial of all is man's crisis of the intellect. This is the result of modern man having been deprived of a sound intellectual base on which to stand - on which to lay the very foundation of his life.



It was a very different matter for people living in ancient times, for the age of antiquity was, by common consent, the age of superstition. In those days it was both possible and acceptable to live by superstition and supposition. Today man wants to live by reason. But when man actually tries to do so, he soon discovers that there is no truly rational basis on which he may live.



There are two things, however, which are thought to provide such a basis for human living - religion and science, that is to say, revealed knowledge and scientific knowledge. But modern man is already in the process of losing both of these foundations. From time immemorial, religion had formed man's intellectual base, but in modern times, when certain religions have been scrutinized in the full light of reason, they have been found to be lacking in cogency.



Take, for instance, the case of the Bible. On the one hand, the Bible presents the concept of monotheism, when it says: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord". (Deutronomy, 6:4)



On the other hand, the same Bible says: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Mathew, 28:19) - an injunction which clearly implies the existence of what the Christians call the Trinity.



Such inconsistencies surely make these beliefs untenable. When God is One, He cannot be Three. And if he is Three, then He cannot be One.



Similarly, at one place in the New Testament, Jesus Christ is Called the son of God(Mark 1:1) while at another place, he is called the son of David (Matthew 1:1). The Bible abounds in such contradictions. As we see it, this problem of contradictions has occurred because of human additions to the word of God. For modern man, such additions have rendered the Bible incomprehensible, and, in consequence, unacceptable.



If, in the age of superstition, man could adhere to a religion based on irrational beliefs, it was because, religion being sacred to him, he could not think rationally about it. But the age of today is the age of reason. Today man analyzes everything in the light of reason. That is why he is no longer prepared to believe in an irrational religion.



Let us now take this matter from the standpoint of science. With the emergence of modern science, man was led into thinking that this new discipline would be able to provide an intellectual base upon which he could firmly plant himself. Science had helped man to discover the natural world - a world which was extremely meaningful in that it had perfect order and planning. Science, as opposed to the existing religions, was thus free from internal contradictions.



Yet, once again, man was balked of the perfect system of thought that he so desired. And this was because of a serious shortcoming in science itself. That is, science could only answer the question `what?' It could not tell man anything about the `why' of things. It was as if science had given man a good machine in perfect working order, but had told him nothing about its maker.



Man seeks an explanation for everything, being an explanation-seeking animal. So when science introduces man to a universe which has design and planning without introducing him to the designer and planner, man, instead of being satisfied, is baffled. He is at his wits' end to understand how design could come into existence in the absence of a designer. How could a plan exist without there being a planner?



It is this shortcoming of the scientific world which leads all thinking people, right from Albert Einstein to Stephen Hawking to feel strongly that "there are aspects in the universe which are extremely difficult to understand." This intellectual difficulty has been expressed by Schrodinger in these words: "The most incomprehensible thing about nature is that it is comprehensible."



True, the universe, as discovered by science, is unmarred by anything of a contradictory nature. Yet scientists have not been able to build up a convincing body of scientific knowledge without making reference to God. This is because a universe which is free of

contradictions cannot be explained without God. It is this state of impasse which I have called modern man's intellectual crisis. The man of today finds himself beset on all sides by it. To rid himself of this problem, he looks to religion. But most religions - due to human interpolations do not face up to to the standards of reason. Likewise, when he looks to science, it fails to provide him with the mental satisfaction he so desires.



The only solution to this crisis of the intellect is Islam - a pure and unadulterated religion, which exists still in its original, revealed state, without human interpolation. As such, it is the only religion which is in any position to provide a complete system of thought to modern man. Islam is in perfect consonance with his nature. At the same time it holds out to him the pure concept of monotheism, by which he may explain the universe. The greatest service to mankind today would be to introduce it to Islam. It is the only system which can resolve the intellectual crisis of mankind.



At this point, I should like to mention two incidents which make it clear how Islam can lead man out of his present intellectual dilemma and into the state described in the Quran in these Words: " Surely in the remembrance of God, all hearts are comforted." (Quran, 13:28)



The first of these incidents relates to Dr. Nishi Kant Chattopadhyaya, a highly educated Hindu, who accepted Islam in 1904. He has given an account of his mental journey in a book entitled, Why Have I Accepted Islam.



He writes that when he grew up, he felt discontented with his ancestral religion. He then began to study other religions. But he found that none of them were historical, in the sense that their scriptures and their religious personalities did not conform to the highest standards of historical accuracy. Finally, however, when he came to the study of Islam, he found that both the religion and the personality of its Prophet could stand up to the most rigorous historical investigation. He thus came to accept Islam. This, the most thrilling event in his life, caused him to write: "Oh! what a relief to find, after all, a truly historical Prophet to believe in!" (Dr. N. K.Cajttopadhyaya, Why have I accepted Islam?)



The second incident concerns a Frenchman, a Dr. Roger Graudy. He, too, was an individual who felt an urge to seek the truth. To this end, he studied various philosophies and religions until finally he came to the study of Islam. This, he found, gave him complete satisfaction, and he accepted the faith in 1982. When asked why he had accepted Islam, he replied, "So that I could give meaning to my life." (Al-Riadh, March12, 1986)



Both these incidents are a pointer to the greatest of man's needs today. What man is most in need of is what Dr. Bradley has called the `new religion', or, to be more precise, Islam.



Bradley's new religion, or as others have termed it, scientific religion, is, in fact, Islam because there is no other religion, besides Islam that is preserved today in its original form.



This is the greatest thing that Muslims of the present day can give to mankind.



Here I should like to emphasize that giving the message of Islam to the world is not just a matter of making a simple announcement. This is something which requires a great deal of patience. Unfortunately, Muslims, having been hurt in various ways by the mad'u nations, have reacted by developing a psychology of anger and complaint against them. While such a psychology persists, no d'awah work can ever be carried out. If Muslims are to shoulder the responsibilities of d'awah that are obligatory upon them, they shall certainly have to rise above this tendency towards reaction. They shall have to bear - unilaterally - any injury they are subjected to by their mad'u nations.



Only after making this sacrifice can they become the da'i of Islam in the world of today. It is this truth which has been expressed in the Quran in the words of the Prophet: "We will endure your persecution patiently." (Quran, 14:12))



In conclusion, I would say that the Muslims, being in sole possession of the solution to the intellectual crisis which besets man at the present time, should be aware of the opportunity this gives them to become the intellectual leaders of the world. However, such intellectual leadership can be gained only through patience. This is the reality which is thus expressed in the Quran: "And we appointed from among them leaders, giving guidance under our command, when they persevered with patience. (Quran, 32:24)

When our door closes, it forces us to change our course. When another door closes, it forces us to change our course yet again. Then finally we find the open door and walk right into our blesing.If that woman or man won't return your call, it might not be them. It might be Lord setting up a road block(just let it go)

hurge ur friend to be patience because As patience is fard (obligatory), Allâh has provided us with ways and means of obtaining and strengthening the quality of patience, for He has never instructed us to do something without providing us with help and support to do it, and ways and means of achieving it. He has never created a disease without creating a cure for it, and He has guaranteed cure when medicine is used. islam is the medicine of believe an faith, Even so, patience is difficult, but it is not impossible to attain. Patience consists of two elements: knowledge and action, and from these two elements are derived the remedies for all spiritual and physical troubles. Knowledge and action, combined, are always essential." so she should seek for more knowledge to have a better understanding and she should follow it up with actions.

cheers

just tell her that I wholeheartedly welcome you to the family of islam.My only advice to you would be to always submit to the truth and be very humble.May our lord be with you all the time.

Islam is a gift -freely given to us, but it us who accept it or do not accept it.

alhaji and his wife,

this alhaji dislike banana, but the wife love it. he brought his wife from kano to abuja so she does'nt no anywhere.

the wife could not go out to buy because she is a kulle woman ( complete house wife an no going out) an seconly she does'nt no any where,that is an hausa style u no now.

so the wife always beg alhaji to buy her banana, but he wont, since he does'nt like it. one day, this alhaji was amoung his friends an they called a banana seller, everybody buy and for this alhaji he said, well even if i wont eat, i will buy for my hajiya. he bought this banana for the first time.

when he got home, after resting, he called his wife, hajiya alima, guess what, she said what, i bought u a banana. the wife said kai alhaji, u re lying. he said, no am serious.

okay go and take it from my bag, she got there and suprisingly, she saw the banana. she was so happy and when she wanted to thank the alhaji, she said, i dont even no how to say thank u, but all i could say is that, this banana looks like ur dickk,

lol

the alhaji look down to his trouser and laghed.

they both enter the room and eat the banana together.

lol.

@ Op

It is imperative that siting the source of these allegations will help make the "allegations" more credible otherwise, I'm afraid its no use,

anyone can pull out any random stuff from no where and claim they are hard facts!!

yes, u really sai it well and i am going to try as much as i coul to get a more concrete information from my uncle. is just that i doubt if he will want to say much abt it.

An old Arab man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but
it was very hard work. His only son, Abdul, who used to help him, was being held
by the FBI for aiding and abetting terrorists.The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his Predicament.
Dear Abdul,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't able to plant my potato
garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If
you were here, all my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot for me.
Your Dad,
Mohammad.

A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Dad,
For heaven's sake, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the
biological weapons.
Love,
Abdul.
At 4a.m. the next morning, F.B.I. agents and local police showed up and dug up
the entire area without finding any weapons. They apologized to the old man and
left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Dad,
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do
Under the circumstances.
Love,
Abdul.

are u guys going to crusify me.

i only said what i saw.

Here it should be realized that deserting the battlefield of jihād because of
cowardice is totally forbidden. No believer should show such feebleness. It is
tantamount to showing distrust in Allah, giving priority to this world over the next
and trying to make life and death dependent upon one’s own strategy – all of
which cannot exist with true faith.

hi all,

i came to share with those who have been accusing the muslim. that in the Qur'an we were told to fight and kill others.

Objective of Jihād
According to the Qur’ān, jihād is carried out primarily to root out persecution which means to force and oppress a person to give up his religion.
The Almighty has created this world to test man by giving him the right to freely choose his religion and ideology. Consequently, any person who forces someone to give up his religion is in fact rebelling against the scheme of the Almighty. So when an Islamic state was established in Madīnah, Muslims were directed to take up arms against people who were responsible for persecuting Muslims and to continue this aggression until persecution was uprooted from Arabia. The following verses forcefully depict this directive:

And what has come over you that you fight not in the cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children whose cry is: “Our Lord! Rescue us from this town of oppressors, and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help. [You should know that] those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Satan. So fight against the friends of Satan. Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Satan”. (4:75-6)

A question arises here: Do other forms of injustice and oppression besides persecution also not entail a similar action? The answer to this question is that all forms of oppression against the life and wealth as well as freedom of opinion and expression of Muslims – should be considered under it in various degrees. Consequently, if a group of Muslims commits unwarranted aggression against some of their brothers and does not desist from it even after all attempts of reconciliation, such a group according to the Qur’ān should be fought with:And if two parties or groups among the believers start fighting, then make peace between them both. But if one of them outrages against the other, then fight you against the one which outrages until it complies with the command of Allah. Then if it complies, make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily! Allah loves those who are the equitable. The believers are brothers to one another. So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah that you may receive mercy. (49:9-10)

Consequently, today jihād can be launched to curb oppression and injustice whatever be their forms. Also in this matter there is to be no distinction between a Muslim state or a non-Muslim state. It can be launched against either for the purpose of curbing oppression and injustice.

Here it is important to realize that the jihād carried out by the Messengers of God had another dimension which was only specific to them and does not relate to us.

It was governed by a divine law that relates to Messengers of God only. As per this law, once the truth is communicated to the addressees of a messenger to the extent that none of them is left with an excuse to deny it and they still deliberately deny it, then they are punished in this very world by the Almighty in either of the following two ways:

i. through natural calamities like storms and earthquakes
ii. through the swords of the believers

Thus, for example, the people of Noah (sws), the ‘Ād and the Thamūd were punished by the Almighty through natural calamities after they deliberately
rejected the truth communicated to them by their respective Messengers. On the other hand, the people of Arabia in the times of Muh@ammad (sws) were punished through the swords of the believers.

In the first case, when punishment is meted out through natural disasters, we know from the Qur’ān that all the disbelievers are destroyed since they subscribe to polytheism.

In the second case, when punishment is meted out by the followers of the Messengers of God, the polytheists among the disbelievers are only given the
option of accepting faith or facing death, while the monotheists among them are also given the option of living on their own faith provided they remain subservient to the Muslims. Those who profess faith and become the companions of the Messengers are granted success and dominance in this world and promised great reward in the Hereafter as well. For this very reason, in the jihād carried out by Prophet Muh@ammad (sws) to punish the deliberate rejecters of the truth, while the Idolaters of Arabia were not given any option but to accept Islam if they wanted to live, the People of the Book were given the option of remaining on their faith if they accepted a life of subservience to the Muslims by paying the jizyah tax.

Moreover, it needs to be appreciated that the deliberate denial of the truth by a people can only be disclosed by God since it relates to a person’s intentions. In the times of His Messengers, the Almighty communicated this deliberate denial to them through divine revelation. However, with the departure of the Messengers of God, we can no longer be informed of this deliberate denial because after them divine revelation has ceased. Therefore, today Muslims cannot wage jihād for the purpose of punishing disbelievers for denying the truth. Today the only basis for jihād is to root out oppression and injustice. Since the Qur’ān contains many verses which deal with this dimension of the jihād of the Messengers of God, one must be careful in not extending their area of application beyond the foremost addressees of the Messengers. They do not relate to people after them.

A question here may arise that if this type of jihād does not relate to us, then why is it mentioned in the Qur’ān so much. The answer to this question is that this type of jihād actually substantiates the reward and punishment which is going to take place in the Hereafter. In the Hereafter too, people who deliberately deny the truth will be punished. People need to be reminded of this all important fact. So, by preserving in the Qur’ān, the details of this worldly judgement meted out to the addressees of a Messenger we are reminded to not forget the Day of Judgement; on this day, each and every person will have to face the consequences of his deeds the way the foremost addressees of the Messengers of God did in this world.

i think we have many ladies out there, but to be sincere, it is ifficult to get a good wife.

getting a wife really need time.

we have some islamic university where it is likely u get just what u wanted, but u have to be ready to devote some of ur time to do that because the ladies will need to see the seriouseness in u.

Alikmat university is an islamic university, they have couple to center around too.

u can easily go there and see lots of them.

so now left to u.

any how.

Born to die!


One day, for one some reason or another, Mullah Nasruddin goes around to his friend Ahmed's house and asks if he can borrow a pot for a day or two. His neighbour knowing Mullah Nasruddin is reluctant, but eventually agrees as they've been close friends for many years.

The very next day, Mullah Nasruddin returns two pots and explains to the over-delighted Ahmed that the first pot gave birth to the second pot.

A week later, Mullah Nasruddin asks Ahmed if he can borrow two pots. Ahmed immediately agrees – for the obvious reason.

But to Ahmed's dismay, Mullah Nasruddin never returns the pots, so he asks Mullah Nasruddin if he can have his pots back, but the Mullah Nasruddin explains that tragically both pots have died.

Ahmed is incensed. "How can a pot die?" he demands.

"You believed it when a pot gave birth," said Mullah Nasruddin. "Why should you not believe that a pot dies?"
