May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be with you[/size] AMEN
I seek refuge in Allah, against the accursed devil

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

", This day have those who disbelieve despaired of harming your religion, so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favour upon you and have chosen for you Islam as religion, "

"Surely, we have created man in the best make. Then if he does evil deeds, We degrade him as the lowest of the low. Save those who believe and do good works, so for them is an unfailing reward."

"They were not commanded but to serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience and being upright and to observe Prayer and pay the Zakaat. That is the right religion." Holy Quran 5:4; 95:5, 6, and 98:6.

ISLAM literally means Peace, surrender of God's Will, and to be in amity and concord. The significance of the name Islam is the attainment of a life of perfect peace and eternal happiness through complete surrender to the Will of God.

Quran, the Holy Book of Moslems, interprets Islam to be the religion, whose teachings are in consonance with human nature.

Islam according to the text, is the completion of the religion inaugurated by God in the beginning of the world, on His sending the Holy Quran through the Holy Prophet Muhamad, on whom, be the peace and blessings of Allah. As a child is taught his alphabet, so God, taught the religion to the world gradually and little by little, by sending His Prophets at different times and to different peoples.

When the world reached the stage of understanding, when it was ready for the final lesson. Allah sent the last and complete Book through the Prophet Muhammad, on whom be the peace and blessings of Allah.

The Holy Quran not only corrects the errors, which had found their way into various religions, but also preaches the truths, which have not been preached before, accounts of special circumstances of the society or the early stages of its development. At the same time it gathers together in itself the truths which were for the guidance of men. Islam meets all the spiritual and moral requirements of an ever advancing humanity.
According to Islam, the object of man's life is its complete unfolding. Islam does not support the idea that man is born in sin. It teaches that everyone has within him the seed of perfect development. It rests solely with a person himself to make or mar his fortune. "We created man in the best make," says the text.

The cardinal doctrine of Islam is the Unity of Allah. Hence, there is none worthy of worship but the one and only God. Muhammad is His Prophet.

Allah is free from all defects, His holy and the transcendent Allah is All Good, Mercy and Power. He has no partner, He neither begets nor is He begotten, because all these are the traits of frail and weak humanity.

Islam helps us to establish a permanent relationship with God and to realise Him during our earthly life as our Helper in all our affairs and undertakings.

This is unity of Allah, is the first and foremost pillar of Islam and every other belief hangs upon it. Islam requires belief in all the Prophets, Moslems should regard them all as heavenly appointed teachers born to reform and regenerate man and lead him to God.

Adherents of some other religions may consider it an act of piety to use disrespectful words and heap abuse on the prophets of other religions, but to establish peace between all religions, Moslems are enjoined not to show the slightest disrespect towards the founder of all other faiths. Rather, they should realise that: "Mankind, We have created you from a male and a female, and We have made you tribes and sub-tribes, that you may know one another. "Verily the most honourable, among you, in the sight of Allah, is he who is the most righteous among you, surely Allah, is All-knowing, All-Aware: Holy Quran 49:14.

So if one is a sincere Moslem, one must always be peaceful all the time and with anybody. In its teachings, Islam has laid down fair rules for the guidance of the rulers and the ruled. Islam says to the rulers that the authority, vested in them is not their private property, but is a trust and that they should discharge the obligations of that trust to the utmost like upright and honest people, and should carry on governance in consultation with the people.

For example, those, who have been endowed with abundance of physical health and strength should not behave oppressively towards the weak nor treat contemptuously those who suffer from some defect or blemish. These conditions ought to excite ones pity rather than ones contempt.

Islam directs the wealthy: "You have been charged with the duty of looking after the poor and you must set aside one fortieth of your substance every year so that it may be employed in the relief of poverty and distress and for the advancement of those who lack the means of advancement."

It teaches them not to enhance the disabilities of the poor by lending money to them on interest, instead, the loan should be interest free if not with free gifts.

Wealth is not given to a man that he may spend his life in luxury and riotous living, but that he should use it for the advancement of the whole of humanity and should thus deserve the best reward.

Allah says in the Holy Quran 55:47 as follows:

"For him who fears to stand before his lord, there are two gardens." The reward of the righteous is plainly spoken of as two gardens in this life and Hereafter. The Garden in this life is the spiritual bliss which the righteous one find here in the doing of good, whereof gardens and rivers and fruits are symbols.

In other words, Garden in this life means peace of mind, which is the result of leading good life, and freedom from gnawing cares and anxieties which come in the wake of life spent in the pursuit of material pleasures and comfort. One garden consists of giving up ones desires for the sake of God in this world and the other in being blessed with Gods pleasure in the next.

The Holy Quran 3:103 - 105 reads.

"O you who believe, fear Allah as He should be feared; and let not death overtake you except when you are in a state of submission;

And hold fast all together, by the yoke of Allah and be not divided; and remember that favour of Allah which He Allah, bestowed upon when you were enemies and He united your hearts in love, so that by His grace you become, as brothers and you were on the brink of a pit of fire and He saved, you from it.

This does Allah explain to you. He's commandment that you may be guided; and let there be among your body of men who should invite to goodness, and enjoin equity and forbid evil. And it is they who shall prosper." This leads to the wisdom of Prophet Muhammed on morality.


Moderation in spending is half of the art of living friendliness towards people is half of wisdom; and the right method of enquiry is half of learning.
"O you people: Be temperate and p ersevering;

If a man hides inside a rock, which has no opening, big or small, his deeds, good or had, will still become known, whatever he may contrive;

Four things are tokens of good fortune;

a good neighbour;

a virtuous wife;

a good mount; and

a spacious dwelling

Four denote at fortuned;

a bad neighbour, a vicious wife,

a sorry-mount and an oppressive dwelling.

Form a concept of a land by its name and of a person by the company he keeps.

The nearest to me are people who are righteous whoever they be, wherever they be.

I have been sent to complete the structure of good behaviour.

If a person determines upon a virtuous deed but is unable to perform it, Allah records it as one complete virtuous deed in his favour.
If having determined upon it be proceeds to perform it as well, it counts with Allah ten-fold or seven hundred-fold or many hundred-fold.

On the contrary, if a peson conceives of a sinful act but does not perpetrate it, it will count with Allah as one virtuous deed. If he proceeds to commit it, Allah will record it as just one sin.

PRE-MATCH: ASTON VILLA V CHELSEA
There is the chance of a first for José Mourinho when we travel to Villa Park on Sunday. Club historian Rick Glanvill and statistician Paul Dutton explain.
Rick attempts a spot of sequence analysis.

Normal service has resumed? Chelsea are top of the tree for the first time since just before five o'clock on Saturday 30 September 2006.
We'd just dropped our first home points of the season to the team we play this Sunday. Even though Didier Drogba grabbed his eighth goal of the season that afternoon, Chelsea had almost 20 shots on goal and Sorenson guarded his goal like a demon, Villa were good value for the 1-1. Stiliyan Petrov appeared to be settling in nicely, Liam Ridgewell looked England senior material, and Milan Baros and Juan Pablo Angel prowled dangerously.
Those were the early days of the Martin O'Neill/Randy Lerner era. The O'Neill bubble punctured last winter and the manager - always cautious in his optimism - has changed a lot he didn't like in the 11 months since that draw at the Bridge. Gone are Ridgewell, Baros and Angel, plus Jlloyd Samuel, Gavin McCann and others.
The first few games suggested more was needed. You'd be hard-pushed to find a Holte Ender with nice things to say about Petrov. Likewise the error-prone central defender Martin Laursen.
Villa fans were hoping for a cash-splashing exercise before the August 31 deadline to re-spark the post-Doug Ellis period, and Lerner has dug deep to create a new spine in goalie Scott Carson, Nigel Reo-Coker, centre midfield, and Marlon Harewood, centre-forward.
This week he lured Zat Knight from Fulham (presumably impressed by his keenness to score for Villa last weekend while still with the London club) and is close to recruiting Curtis Davies from West Bromwich Albion - ideal young replacements for Laursen and competition for Olof Mellberg.
That's not to mention his purchases in the January sales, Ashley Young (looking livelier on the wing recently) and John Carew, both of whom still have something to prove.
There is, though, a considerable investment in youth going in Aston, and if you add the impressive Scots forward Shaun Maloney - around whom there is currently a buzz - and the already recognised athleticism and skill of Gabriel Agbonlahor and Luke Moore, you have a side lacking experience but fearing nothing and capable of accepting the O'Neill tactics implant.

After Chelsea's fine start, maybe there will be better times to play the tails-up Villans than straight after a rousing 2-1 comeback last weekend and a midweek 5-0 win - easily their biggest win since an 8-3 at the same stage of the Carling Cup over Wycombe in 2005. But surely it is good to encounter the hard-working Villa Park pitch so early in the season.
It has traditionally been one of the host venues for FA Cup semi-finals - an honour relinquished with the completion of Wembley Stadium. Over almost 90 years Chelsea's success in semi-finals there was evenly split.
We reached our debut FA Cup final by beating Everton 2-0 in 1915, beat Leeds in 1967 and saw off Fulham in 2002. But the Villa Park surface ended our Wembley dream in 1996 when Ruud and co. faced Manchester Utd, and more poignantly (if possible), we lost twice in successive years, 1965 and '66, against Liverpool and Sheffield Wednesday, both 0-2.
Our last visit there, on January 2 in the Premier League, was as viscerally disappointing as any of those cup losses. Weary Chelsea started the game and went downhill from there, making McCann look a world-beater. One or two great chances were squandered in the first half, but after the break Villa looked the more likely to score. A third consecutive draw left Manchester Utd six points clear at the top.
It is actually been eight years since we won at this venue: 1999 and Luca Vialli's team of Flo, Zola et al. Oddly, since the start of the Premier League, results there between us have largely gone in streaks (see below).
The March 1999 game brought our fourth win a row. It was followed by three consecutive draws, then two Villa wins on the trot, and finally another three stalemates. (I don't know what it all means either, but perhaps Da Vinci Code enthusiasts out there could crack the sequence and let me know before the bookmaker opens this weekend.)
Unlike December last year, it's United who trail now, even if they will almost certainly reduce the deficit to two points on Saturday, the day before we play. Liverpool and Arsenal could also join us on ten before kick-off. We currently have the most points, the highest goals-for total and the equal best goal difference.
It's surely time to press the pedal to the floor and see where it takes us - as long as it's not a traffic jam on the M6.

ASTON VILLA V CHELSEA - Paul Dutton has the statistical state of play.
Chelsea sit top of the Premier League for the first time at the end of a weekend's fixtures since our 2-0 victory at Craven Cottage against Fulham on September 23rd last year.
Villa Park is the only Premier League ground that José Mourinho has visited and failed to come away with a win since his arrival in 2004.
Chelsea have gone eight years and nine games without a win against Villa away on one of our least successful hunting grounds.
Our last victory there was in March 1999 when second half goals from Tore André Flo, Bjarne Goldbæk and Flo again completed an easy win and inflicted Villa's fourth successive defeat under John Gregory. The team was De Goey; Ferrer, Desailly, Leboeuf, Le Saux; Petrescu (Lambourde 78), Wise, Morris, Goldbaek; Zola, Flo (Nicholls 90). Luca Vialli was our manager.
Since then we have drawn six and lost two in the Premier League as well as a 2-1 fifth round League Cup defeat in 2003/04.
Our Premier League record at Villa Park is as follows:
1992/93 Chelsea won 3-1
1993/94 Villa won 1-0
1994/95 Villa won 3-0
1995/96 Chelsea won 1-0
1996/97 Chelsea won 2-0
1997/98 Chelsea won 2-0
1998/99 Chelsea won 3-0
1999/00 Drew 0-0
2000/01 Drew 1-1
2001/02 Drew 1-1
2002/03 Villa won 2-1
2003/04 Villa won 3-2
2004/05 Drew 0-0
2005/06 Drew 1-1
2006/07 Drew 0-0Villa have won only four of their last 15 home Premier League games stretching back nine months.
They have avoided defeat in 11 of the last 12 league outings.
Aston Villa's best finish in the Premier League is runners-up in 1992/93 with 74 points, ten behind champions Man Utd and two above third placed Norwich.
Villa's last top flight title win was the old First Division in 1980/81. Their most recent major piece of silverware is the League Cup in 1996.
Aston Villa are one of only seven clubs to have been ever present since the Premier League was formed in 1992. The others are Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton.Villa's summer transfer activities have been:
Ins: Zat Knight (Fulham, £3.5m), Nigel Reo-Coker (West Ham, £8.5m), Marlon Harewood (West Ham, £4m), Scott Carson (Liverpool, loan).
Outs: Liam Ridgewell (Birmingham £2m), Gavin McCann (Bolton, £1m), Jlloyd Samuel (Bolton, free), Juan Pablo Angel (New York Red Bulls, free), Aaron Hughes (Fulham, £1m), Lee Hendrie (Sheffield United, released), Steven Davis (Fulham, £4m), Chris Sutton (retired), Eric Djemba-Djemba (released).
Chelsea are unbeaten in the last 18 Premier League games winning 12 and drawing six. We have suffered just one defeat in 31, which was at Liverpool in January.
Frank Lampard's goal against Portsmouth last weekend was his 93rd for the club and put him equal eighth all time scorer with Barry Bridges.
There are no suspensions on either side.
The match referee is Mark Clattenburg who took charge of just two Chelsea games last season, the league wins away to Blackburn and home to Portsmouth.

Chelsea's overall record against Aston Villa in all competitions is: played 133, won 49, drawn 31, lost 53.
Head-to-head in the league at Villa Park: played 60, won 13, drawn 18, lost 29 LAST SEASON'S CORRESPONDING GAME
