If it wasn't for the Catholic Church we wouldn't even have science today. It would have been eradicated during the dark ages. Much of science comes from religion, the Islamic religion created basic understanding of light and they created the astrolabe. They had amazing architecture. Most early arts were due to the church. Though it may be true that clergy members often did not create technology during the ancient times the power they had over the stupid people allowed order to take place. This allowed intellectuals not to be killed by stupid idiots calling black magic. Religion kept mankind in check there is not a single case where a civilization existed without religion. The only times when religion interfered with the advancement of mankind is during the early modern period but all sorts of weird and crazy powerful people existed in this time. Albert Einstein says, "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." You people who think religion prevents the advancement of man kind are fools,If it wasn't for the Jesuits, we wouldn't have the science that we have today. Heck, if it wasn't for the Holy Catholic Church, we wouldn't have a lot of what we have toda

Lol.What d u think my reply would be? Logic boy

Op, ure right. Correct. Every group has its merit and shortcoming. I wish xtians could be more united and prayerful.

maclatunji: If You can take your children for Shopping, Then why can't you take them to nearby Masjid.?

If you can wake them Up for a long journey, Then why can't you wake them up for Fajar.?

If you can buy them stories and comics, Why can't you buy them translated Quran and hadith books.?

If you can send them to high class tutions, Then why can't you send them to nearby Madrasa?

If you have time to watch movies with them, Then why don't you have a bit time to spend with them for islamic lecturers.

Remember, the true knowledgeable person is the one who spends His time, health and wealth for the benefit in Akhira and not For this 3days Duniya.

May Allah protect Us from the Fithnas of this World and Keep us firm in Deen , Aameen

Moral lesson dont wear underwear

A certain theologian has observed that the high watermark of the Old Testament is Psalm 23:4, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil" whereas that of the New Testament is Philippians 1:23, "My desire is to depart and be with Christ." In the Old Testament, David wanted to stay but was willing to go, whereas in the New Testament, Paul wanted to go but willing to stay. Today's second reading from the Second Letter to the Corinthians brings out this unparalleled faith of Paul who says of himself, "We would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:.

As Christians we believe that dying is going back to our loving Father. If that is so, why then do so many of us have this debilitating fear of death and dying? In our world today, it seems that Christians are more afraid to die than people of other religions around us. Why is this so, since we have such a lofty belief about what happens at death? More importantly, how did Paul overcome his fear of death? Can we learn from Paul to overcome our own fear of death?

First, what is it in our Christian belief that makes us so afraid of dying. As Christians we believe that after death comes judgment. "All of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may receive recompense for what has been done in the body, whether good or evil" (2 Corinthians 5:10). Uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Last Judgment can arouse a fear of death in the believer. Paul was able to overcome this uncertainty and the fear of death that goes with it. In its place he had developed confidence, confidence to the extent that he could say, "Yes, we do have confidence, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:. What crucial differences do we see between Paul and the rest of us that enabled him to overcome the fear of death while many of us are still plagued by it. The reading gives us two important clues.

(1) "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7). Paul was a man who tried to see things in the light of faith, not in the light of how it appeals to the senses. To walk by faith is to evaluate situations and decide on lines of action in light of our faith and not on the basis of popular opinion. The world, for example, sees death as a coming to an end, whereas our faith sees it as a gateway to union with God. It means being "at home with the Lord." Death is not extinguishing the light from the Christian; it is putting out the lamp because morning has broken. When we are able to see death as entering into fullness of life with God, entering into the possession of all our heart's desire, then shall we be able to see it as something to look forward to with confidence, not something to be afraid of.

(2) So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him (2 Corinthians 5:9). It is reported of the famous atheist Jean-Paul Sartre that about a month before he died, he mustered courage and said to himself, "I know I shall die in hope." Then, on second thought, he sadly added, "But hope needs a foundation." in this passage we find the practical justification for the eternal hope, the sure confidence, that Paul had. At all times, in every place and in all circumstances, Paul entertained one constant desire, namely, to please God. Paul is so different from some of our Christians today who profess to believe every doctrine and practise every spiritual devotion out there but when it comes to serving God in their fellow human beings they are found wanting. Such Christian believers who rank high in church observances but score low in practical everyday charity in their families and their work places indeed have reason to be afraid of death and judgment. As Jesus told us,"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven" (Matthew 7:21).

Do we want to be like Paul in overcoming the fear of death? Do we want to share his hope and look forward with confidence to the Last Judgment? Then we must decide here and now to be like him in walking by faith and making it our sole and constant desire to please God in all things.

"The mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small." These words penned by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow represent a point of view that is rare in our religious experience today. Most believers today believe either that the mills of God have ground to a halt and no longer work, or that the mills of God should grind whatever it has to grind immediately and without delay. The two parables of the kingdom that Jesus tells in today's gospel reading show us that these modern views of how God acts in us and in our world are mistaken. God's usual way of acting in us and in the world is slow, gradual and, more often than not, imperceptible.

The first parable, that of the Seed Growing Secretly (Mark 4:26-29) compares the reign of God to the imperceptible sprouting and growing of a seed that the farmer sows in the earth. Anyone who has raised crops or flowers knows that it is hard to notice the actual sprouting and growing of the seed, but every new day one wakes up from sleep to notice that some growth has taken place. This parable challenges those who think that God is doing nothing in the world to look more closely. God is very much active in our world and is leading the world to its appointed purpose, the time of harvest. On the other hand, it challenges those who expect God to intervene in our lives with immediate flashes of lightning and thunder to realise that God does not often act in such sensational ways. People who expect God to act with visible immediacy are like Elijah on Mount Horeb who expected to experience God in a hurricane, in an earthquake and in a fire (1 Kings 19:11-12), only to be disappointed. He was finally able to experience God in "a still small voice." God does not like sensationalism.

In the second parable, that of the Mustard Seed, Jesus compares the reign of God in the world to "a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade" (Mark 26: 31-32). Again it shows that the reign of God in the world begins very small, like a small mustard seed, which is almost invisible. In due course, however, it results in a big shrub to which the birds of the air come to make their nests. This parable challenges those who are reluctant to do small things. Many people are reluctant to plant a mustard seed. It is just so small that it is almost insignificant and negligible. The farmer who plants a mustard seed is the farmer who believes that no seed and no effort is insignificant in God's kingdom.

The two parables make similar points but it may help to apply the first parable, that of the Seed Growing Secretly, to how the kingdom of God grows in us, and the second parable, the Mustard Seed, to how the kingdom of God grows in the world through us. Understood in this light, the Parable of the Seed Growing Secretly calls for the child of God to be patient with his or her apparent lack of progress in the spiritual life. After years of commitment to the imitation of Christ, we often wonder why we are not yet saints, why we are not yet "perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). From year to year our progress in holiness may seem to be imperceptible. But, the Gospel assures us that so long as we abide in God, the seed of faith sown in us will continues to grow and bear abundant fruit for the harvest.

In like manner, the Parable of the Mustard Seed challenges us not to discount the little things we do for God. A mustard seed is a very small seed to sow but with time it becomes a great shrub that gives shelter to the birds. It encourages us to put more diligence in doing the little, everyday, seemingly insignificant things we do for the kingdom of God. At God's own time, those apparently insignificant things may bear great fruit to the glory of God.
