Sayfullah Br Salaams you write a hadeeth that reads: " I will give the flag to some one who loves God and his massanger,and God and hismassager love him" Question: Are you suggesting that this hadeeth implies that Ali Radiyallahu anhu should have been the first Khalif, followed by his children and the 12 imaams of the Shia?

Nomads Again on this thread, please read my deep insights on the meaning of Suratul Racd, in case you did not read it on the other thread. Bismillah, wa salaatu wa salaamu calal mustafaa, wa calaa aalih wa saxbih wa sallim Al Racd as all other surah's revealed in Makkah are addressed to our inner selves, our baseerah, our sixths sense of perception. Imagine how a an Arab person living in the desert back in tye sixth century would have felt when all in a sudden one of their won came with a radical view of life and death and beyond! Before we can grasp the profound effect the quraan has marked and left in the Arab mind, we need to visit Arabia circa 600 AD. Today we are going to take a walk in the back alleys of Makkah, its shops, we are going to visits their temples, we are going to listen to their poetry and live their lives in order to see how this man called Mohammed ( the praised one) has changed all of that in mere 23 years. Please do your own imagination and when you are done read on. Socially, Makka was the stronghold of the Quraish, a tribe that prides itself to be the decendants of Ishmael and Abraham, AS. Makkah was known as Ummul Quraa, the mother of all towns. The main attraction in Makkah was the Holy Kaaba, a building erected as a token of gratitude by Abraham and his son Ishmael after they have fulfilled Allah's commandments. Allah accepted their gift and made that place a center of worship for all of mankind for all of time. The years that followed Makkah witnessed gradual changes that led a 360 degree departure of Abrahams's objective of devotion and worship of a single God, ironically, they were close to 360 Gods. Quraish benefited a lot from this shrine as many pilgrims flocked to visit and worship their idols, business could never be better, and the new pilgrims brought with them their habits and ways of life to further corrupt Makkah and its inhabitants. In such a society, prostitution was the norm, consumption of alcohol and gamblin the past time, slavery and oppression of the weak ( laan gaab) . law of the land. Politically, the Arabs were divided among themselves, and every town had its own rulers, if you did not do injustice, you were the receiving side. Suddenly, one day, a man known by Meccans, climbed a hill near a market and called on all Quraish clans by their names to gather for news, a gesture that was known to be like a CNN newsbreak of the times. As they gathered this man would ask them if they have any questiuon about his character and credibility, and the amazed listeners responded that they have always known him as the trustworthy ( al ameen) This man, was Mohammed and this was the beginning of the end of history. Now imagine the revelation of Al Racd verses being revealed in that backdrop of history, with a linguistic elenquence never matched and scientific and historic narrations that are so precsie, no one dared to refute. Imagine the profound effect these verse would have on the social structure, political environment, class relations and business! The stakes were high, so Qurasih bribed this man with beautiful women if he would stop this new radical concept. They would offer to be their king, and even to send him to the psyciatrist if he was possessed by the jinn. He tells them that if they gave him the sun and the moon on his palms, he would not stop his casue. Now we read ALIF LAAM MIIM RAA These were the components and letters of the Arabic language, the secret of this code is only known to Allah SWT. These are indeed the verses of the Book, and waht has been revealed to you ( Mohamed) from your Lord are the Truth, but most people do not believe. The author of this written book being the same as the author of the astonishing book of nature around you, the designer and originator of the universe and its captivating flawless structure without any visible columns that support the blue membrane hovering over our heads that gives us the protection from the radiation of outer space. Who made the sun and the moon that we see every day work for us to sustain life on earth creating the tides, rain, seasons, greenery and crops. Imagine if your power company charged you for these services? a power service more reliable than California's energy companies and much cheaper than Kaaraans diesel generator one lamp per house hold rates. What amazes me in these verses is how these seemingly separate verses are well connected if we pay close attention to their structure. As we have noted previously, the beginning of the Surah was the secret code of Alif Laam Miim Raa, letters that only Allah SWT knows what they stand for. Allah SWT tells us that these verses are part of the book that was revealed from Allah SWT, and the fact that this revelation is indeed the truth from Allah SWT yet most people are bent on disbelief about their origin. Interestingly, the same author of this great book happens to be the author of the larger three dimensional book of life and the universe that surrounds us. What a good feeling then to know the awesome wisdom and power of Allah SWT and his kindness to us by honoring us with such words of wisdom to show us how insignificantly small we are compared to the visible universe of some 128 Billion Galaxies, each containing billions of stars of all sizes, planets and satellite clouds, moons and heavenly bodies. Not even counting the dark matter suspended between the visible spectrum, possibly containing more matter than our meager telsecopes can capture. The author of this book is so wise that he has separated the canopy of gases that protect us from harmful solar rays , separating it from the surface of the earth on which we are born, grow and die. That beautiful blue membrane filter lets useful Solar rays penetrate to provide heat, rain, rivers, vegetation and food, while the moon provides light and decoration in addition to a guidance milestone and the tides that help the oceans absorb necessary gasses for the living colors beneath acting as a giant biological filtration system for the biosphere we call home. canopy at the same time blocking harmful rays and in doing so supporting this canopy with invisible pillars that keep the gasses float to form a sophisticated roof over our heads. Allah SWT did all of that and more than we can imagine without getting tired and afterwards he was well placed on top of his throne, marking his absolute power and wisdom which dwarfs our meager intelligence and imagination. But today, we can see with our other eyes of science and technology what the Arabs could not see 1400 years ago with their bare eyes, we can see the planet us a whole, As Somalis, we can see the horn of Africa the place where our abcestoral parents called home, grazing their camels, and living their simple life that was so much dependent on the natural elements of sun and moon, a amgnificnet duo who play the revolving role of day and night " Yughsiil leilaa nahaara" we can further take off from our homes in Somalia to the ends of the planet, or the edge of the universe with ease from the comfort of our living rooms, watching TV programs like Discovery Channnel, we can visit the rainforest and its exotic biosphere, the savannah and the survival of the fittest, the tundra and the grizzly bears, deserts and the the animals that live in a 50 plus tempreture environment creatures like the camel and snakes, the icy poles and the toxedo dressed penguins, oceans and rivers, volcanoes, underneath aquifers and more all of them testifying unity of Allah with their diversity a non challengeable testaments of the greatness of Allah SWT and a sign post reading : " So You May be certain of your eventual and assured reunion with your ceator" to be questioned of what we have done with the opportunity that was granted to us and the natural furniture we were given as a means of meeting our duties to our maker. Now, that is not all, the surah hits yet on another amazing scientificly natural occurence, the shape of our planet, a fact not well known by Arabs or non Arabs at the time, Allah SWT explains how he sustains life on earth, begining with the ideal shape and spacial location of our planet which is suspended in the milky way, a planet that is so well positioned from the distance of the sun on an elliptical path that provides for a temprature range that sustains life on earth, creatuing the seasons, and the suspension of gasses that are needed like oxygen and nitrogen , just the right mixture to sustain life, yet not creating explosions if the 21 percent content of oxygen was surpassed. With the diversity that we have discussed, Allah says " Wa huwa alladee maddal arda" " It is he who had extended the earth", meaning that the extension of the earth to all directions maximizing the surface area requires a spherical shape, but with that extension and expansion, Allah SWT placed on the surface of our planet peaks and valleys so gravity can do its work along with the temprature in creating flowing rivers and pastures necessary for sustaining life on earth, in the form of fruits and the food chain, Allah created pairs, of so that each creature Allah SWT creates finds its allotted Rizq share and play its role and purpose willingly in the case of Muslims, or unwillingly in the case of the unbelievers. Wht did I say so much explaining the fisrt three verses of Suratul Al Racd: Becoause they are " Ayyatin liqowmin yatafakaruun" they are milestones for a folk who use their heads to think about the meaning of creation and life so that home in to apprecaiate and love their maker enough to worship him as he deserves. To be continued.............................. Nur

Bambina Great remarks indeed, what most readers are stressing is the minumum acceptable characteristic of the husband to be, all agree that prayers are a must, cuz it is the pillar of Islam, and if a person does not know his maker well enough as to worship him, how can a sister trust her future on hopes that he will change. It is said that men marry a woman hoping that she will not change, and she does ( physical appeal) and women marry a man hoping that he will change, but he never does ( Character ). So, I am reposting an old joke someone emailed me a while back which may be appropriate on this thread. The Husband Super Market ( some editing done on the original ) There was this "Husband Shopping Center" where a woman could go to choose a husband from among many men. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors. The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor, and if you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to leave the place. So, a couple of girlfriends go to the place to find men. First floor: The door had a sign saying, "These men make salaat, have jobs and love kids." The women read the sign and say,"Well that's better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up?" So up they go. Second floor says: "These men make salaat, have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking" Hmmm, say the girls. But, I wonder what's further up? Third floor: "These men make salaat, have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and are great cooks and housekeepers. "WOW!" say the women. Very tempting, BUT, there's more further up! And up they go. Fourth Floor: "These men make salaat, have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework, and are active in Dawa and community work. Oh mercy me. But just think! What must be awaiting us further up! So up to the fifth floor they go. Fifth floor: The sign on the door said, "This floor is just to prove that women are impossible to please. Please exit the building and have a nice day." Nur

Enterprenuer Bro. I am eagerly waiting your invitatition, you make the call, I wouldn't stay here anylonger anigoo Nool. Nur

Rahima Kutubul Sitta al sixaax on the rescue! The Arabic Text read something like this to the best of my recolection: " Man abdaa bihii camaluhu, lam yusric bihi nasabuh" The Hadeeth is more likely saxiix or xassan, but I shall get the full SANAD, line of narration for you sis, it is not trouble at all, just a pleasure. Nur

Miz Unique Before the advent of Islam, Arabs conssidered the lineahe of a potential spouse as tribal allegiances were crucial to the warring desert clans ( Just like ours in Somalia today, see how far back in history we have fallen back sis?) So, the linneage meant a lot to them. Linneage alos meant that a family known for good character would beget a good seed, so it was assumed that if the mother wa of good character, the daoughter would also be the same. When Islam came all of that was abolished, the Prophet SAWS advised that Nasab, wealth, beauty not to be the primary reason for selecting a mate, rather DEEN, since it was the most reliable and important in the sight of Allah SWT. It was reported that the Prophet SAWS said : " He whose bad deeds slow him down ( from entering Jannah) his NASAB would not speed him up" Nur

Conquest I read that story in grade school, it was called " Waa Islaamaah", I can recall QUDZ and other personalities, but I have to dust my history files, I a sure an hour of concentration can bring the names back, by the way, why not mention his sister who was also captivated as slave? Nur

Salaams Walaaloyaal I was away, I did not forget about this thread, as a matter of fact it is my favored topic, Al Racd is very touching. Rahima sis Complex mind InshaAalah I will treat the two verses with my insights, please visit again. Thunder MashAllah, two powerful Tawheed verses, we shall visit them too. Lucky Your sleected verses are also verses that I want to expand in the coming days. For all viewers This Surah is special, Inshallah, its treatment will also be special, I will approch it in a wholistic way, not fragments of verses, what i am after is to tie many concepts in a uniformly connected fields of knowledge, such that when we read the surah again, we find deeper meanings burried beyound the surface, and as you all know, in the ocean, the deeper you dive, the dimmer it gets, so you will need to bring with you powerful lights to see deeper, and what could be more enlightening tool than the ibaadah of the month of ramadan so that we can see farther and deeper with the baseerah lenses of taqwa. Don't go away! I will right back Nur

Zakariey br. Well put Accodring to te hadeeth, people consider four factors for marriage and their mates: 1. attraction 2. Wealth 3. Nasab ( family relationships) 4. Faith campanion, somene who helps you in growing in your deen. An Egyption proverb sums this up: " Idaa tazawajtal qirda li maaluh, yaruuxul maal, wa yabqal qirda calaa xaaluh" If you marry a monkey for his money, money goes away, and you endup with a monkey with no money. Likewise, all temporal attributes ( those swept away or go with the wind) are not good for selecting a mate, but rather a more lasting quality like faith and iimaan as the prophet SAWS suggested: " fadhfar bi thaata deen" Choose a woman with faith. Nur

Shaqsi Jazaakallahu khairan In your writep, You've crossed to a higher domain of knowledge , " MAXABATUL ALLAH" THE LOVE PF ALLAH SWT, it really needs a thread by itself and Ramadan is a good time tgo start, so why not start a thread on this topic walaal? Nur

Great reponses Jazakumullahu Khair If you are Brother Bashi or Brother Entreprenuer wives please stop here! Do not read beyound this point. Bashi, you made me smile bro. now I remember what a non Muslim exclaimed when she met this intelligent Muslim guy: " are you married, she asked" , " why ask this question" he responded " well, after discussing many issues, i grew interested in you" she said " I am sorry, I am married" he said , The woman, was so hurt, she said in desparation " everytime I meet an intelligent guy, he is married" But coming back to entreprenuer's suggestion, I believe that you have unleashed a very sensitive topic for married women, unmarried women and married men. Tis topic can be very dangerous or beneficial, it all depends on how it is treated. But as the Chief Social Engineer at NURTEL Polygamy Research Division, I am ready to share the latest breakthroughs in this topic. ( Viewrs from UK , specially London need not look here) But this topic needs a thread of its own. Lucky walaal you write: "I have a question Nur.ShouLd one that is not financiaLLy stabLe be worrying about marriage?Marriage needs aLot of work-financiaLLy-emotionaLLy-and compromising on both spouses part.Marriage itseLf is a debt-so shouLd one who is not financiaLLy secure be out hunting for a spouse?Im thinking in the sense of Long term rather than the first ten days ya know.You know how it goes biLLs biLLs biLLs biLLs biLLs biLLs biLLs biLLs biLLs biLLs-etc.etc.etc." Answer: According to sunnah, it is the other way around, you do not marry when you have enough money, rather you marry to get wealth, because, chastity is virtue that Allah SWT loves and supports by sending a special check called the Rizq check, so you can either stay poor and unmarried or you can tie the knot quickly, do your best , ( if you are the male, to earn for your woman, and if you are the female to help your man) According to hadeeth, the most blessed marriage is the least expensive one. Nur

Lucky Read, read and read some more is the right attitude in this month, you got it right keep it up, the trip gets more pleasant toward the end, the last ten days. Hijabified sis Two ayats makes you a Hafizah of Quran in 8 years, but adding two more ayats per day, you can earn the Hafiz title in four years just as long as to earn a bachelors dregree for which we burn ourselves for a mere paper that is not guaranteed to get you a decent job. Nur

Baashi Br. Jazaakalllahu Khairan for sharing this knowledge with us. May Allah make every knowledge a lever to propel us to more good deeds, and make Jannah our final home so we can sit infront of eachh other looking back at " ala ayyamul khaaliyah" with envy for the many chances of hasaanat we have missed. Al Jannah, wal nadhar ilaa wajihi al kariim is the final pleasure. And for that goal, let be the real competition. Allah ayaan ka baryeynaa inuu na cafiyo, no naxariisto bishaan barakeysan. Allahumma innaka cafuwun, tuxibbul cafwa facfuu cannaaa yaa Allah. Nur

A greeting from Allah, blessed and Good to All. Dear Nomads I am really proud of you all, after reading all of your input into this great topic, I came to the conclusion that there is lot of Kheyr in the audience MashaAllah. Comments by Lucky, Flying Still, Haboon, Modesty, Ranya, Baashi, Raxmah and Rahima were are all candid, and very helpful, together these comments have helped put together the Puzzle although few pieces are still missing, it makes me happy to know that we are all looking a problem from different prespectives and are actively learning crucial facts outside of the ring (marriage), because once we you are in the ring, no coaching will help. I am collecting the gems of your thoughts, I will organize it and present it in a structured manner so that by the time this thread is exhausted, we can publish this work as a Nurtle Social Engineering Research Paper, in research, we normally do not know what we are doing, because if we did, it would not be a research, so throw as many points of view on this topic as you can imagine. Few writers have provoked my thinking, Ranya and Baashi, Humble Ranya made great points, but admits it is only her opinion, maashAllah tabarakallah, keep it coming sis, wallahi it made me thinking, also Bashi Bro. made such great analyses as to pull me out of my chair, and as usual Sis rahima who create such ineterst level that made this thread a must read, proving that each and every Nomad has special gift from Allah SWT to share and it is through dialogue and listening while respecting other points of view can we grow and mature in our quest and search for solutions to find the companion of life who will help us saty the course, seeking the pleasure and joy of sight of Allahs Magnificent face. Question To Brother Baashi? Life is a puzzle, in this topic we discussed the complication of a brother who may not be accepted by sisters as a mate because of his spiritual profile, however you've created a brand new problem in this thread, a wise brother like Baashi who is not looking, that is really puzzling. What do you have to say to that br.? Nur

Habboon sis That was an uplifting message to Rahima, she lives in Melbourne Australia off the great barrier reef, under which some of the worlds most beautiful creatures live, unfortunately, the world down under is far more soothing than the one above for her, but in time she willl find someone who she will say to " Halkeed ku nooleyd waayahaan oo dhan?" As for your participation, I think your name says it all. Nur

I need to get 10 hits on this pages before we present the first Surah: The Thunder ( Al Racd ). We will push the envelope of imagination in this great Surah, this Surah can change your life beyound recognition if you place your heart with me on this thread, by the time you finsih reading Suratul Racd with tadabbur of its far reaching meanings, you may not easily fit back into your old profile, this is a warning for those who are not aware how profoundly Quraan in general, and this Surah in particular can make you the person you always wanted to be but were oblivious as to how to achieve that goal. For homework, if you want me to expand on this Surah, as your lead facilitator, you must: 1. Read the Surah in English or Arabic if you can read and understand 2.

Sophist I think, therefore I am! Aad ayaad ugu mahadsan tahay soo dhaweynta qurxan, tiixtiixa xagaayaha waa dareen aad u fiican siiba, carafta hawada roobka markuu soo curto, nothing like the UK fog huh? Flying Still I know this question is tough one, we need more nomads to particpate so we can see many points of view, this is the beauty of discussion boards, they are a suppermarket of ideas. But I do nknow of a very pious lady who married a guy who she later found out that he drinks, and after a lot of effort, she changed him, now he is as clean as snow. Allah gives life to the dead, but again that is a tough call. MizUnique How about waiting a year to see if the guy has taken real steps toward the right direction, and then making the istikhara? Rahiima sis You write: "I must admit, that I have come to a sad realization, my dream husband does not exist, which means I will have to priorities when i am ready" My dear sis What made you think that way? just because you are living on the edge of the world does not mean that somewhere, your dream partner is also thinking along the same line? Souls who were meant to join will be joined no matter how far apart they are. And this readiness thing sisters use to filter hopefuls is not fair, I think, whenever a qualified hopeful proposes, a sister should consider, then make a decision. I have to agree with you character is extremely important, becuase we are born with it, and can not be changed in the course of a marrriage, the deen is an acquired belief that can be pressnted, but it is not a OJT ( On the Job training) deal. Nur

Shujui Bro. You ask: "Ma Da Tacmaal??" Aglis wa abkii ktiir calaa xaalii, wa bacdeen amshi wa atrax nafsii cala ardal masjid cashaan astashiir al sheikh. But seriously speaking bro. If I were that brother I would be thankful to have found two sisters in one package, "gabdhaha" mature much faster than "wiilasha", so if you find a solution to control her emotinal side, she can be the best that've happen to a brother. So in this scenario if you are the brother all you see is a great sister, your iimaan eyes are still blurred with love, so Allah is still not one of your priorities, and frankly if the sister gives me a list of demands and I was that brother I would sign it like a apartment leasing agreement " Where do I sign?" would be my only question, and my imagination would be confined to getting married to her, but beyound that, I wouldn't have a clue or know other than to drop her off at her evening xalaqah class and picking her up again, and in between I would be chillin and sipping my macchiato in nearby Starbuck caffe. But, again, the sister could change me gradually, who knows? I have seen some changed souls. Nur

Conspiracy Ramadaan Mubaarak excuse my selection, I am in time warp, I am in the nineties still, I need help, what is the buzz word in 2003, I need to update my vocabulary. Besides, is that all you have to add to this topic, we need the conspiracy theory here, like a little deeper analyses of the topic. Ramadaan Karim to you too. Nur

Ramadan Mubaarak Nomads It could not come at a better time to present this question to my dear nomadic paesanos roaming the virtual landscape of Somaliaonline in this blessed month of Ramadaan, as we are all in the spiritual domain and are able to think with clear minds with Satan behind bars ( I recommend not to eat too much "bur iyo Sambuusi" at iftaar for a clear perception of ideas I will pose in this thread) Marriage is a big step we take in our lives, and unfortunately ther are no schools to train marriage hopefuls of how to select their mates, how to propose, how to accept, how to run a marriage once you find yourself in a room with a total stranger who may disturb your calm life with snoring. From the day you took your first step walking and falling, you had parents who have looked out for you to make sure that you do not get hurt as you attempted to walk, after perfecting your steps, you took onto another challenge; running, and again that presented some dangers, phyical in nature but emotional for your parents. Afterwards, it was the Kindergarten time, and a lunch box taken by force by your hungry classmate, now, you faced being knocked down or hurt by kids if you stand your grounds against bullies, and you quickly learned looking out for your self. Later you progressed to grade school, and suddenly the kid sitting behind you tells you he loves you and so you grow in life, knowing the good, the ugly and the bad. But because at every point in your life you have chosen the right way, you came a long way, you have filtered your circle of friends to be those with like minds, so you ended up here at Somaliaonline, and you've to read these long and boring articles by Nur, who seems to have too much time in his hands, or a lot of Barakah or both. Now you are in college, keeping your chin up with your pride in your new found Islamic character and faith, and out of the blue, someone approaches you " Iska warran abbayo, ma Somaliyad baad tahay?" and you look at this guy and immediately you have a glow in your heart for him, but the more you listen to him talk to you, the more you are puzzled, the guy seems decent, and handsome, he is doing well in school, and he is charismatic, but he is not into what you have been raised with, nor has he found Islam the way you did, he is " qof caadi ah" like we refer to people who are not into wadaadnimo, he prays some times, and some time he does not pray. he may even smoke, and listen to music for pleasure. As you go to school, day in and day out, the guy keeps up the ineterst level, and as usual you keep your composture and dignity in tact when you talk to him, which makes the guy go crazy over you, even more ineterested in you than all the other cambarayaal in school, cuz guys are weak, they need acceptance, and can't take rejection specially when they show their interest to a dignified Hijabified sister and she does not respond. Now the guy is stalking you everywhere, he even shows up at Juma prayers in the nearby Masjid and smiles at you from every direction you stand to assure you that indeed he is maShaAllah a good Faarax. "Yaa Allah" you sigh, Now you have a mixed feeling, because you see him as someone who can be a great prospect if only..................................... he would do 1. 2 3. 4. 5. A long wish list of your dream husband who may fit your profile and character. Requirements that are better ordered and found from ( eNuri Husband Cloning and Mail Order Husband Service) to your specification, but unfortunately a husband like that is not readily available on any shelf anywhere. At home and in private you begin thinking about this Faarax, the more you recollect his innocent smile, the more you wish he would also improve on his other spiritual aspects so that he would be an easy sell to your folks at home and to your local Intenet Advisors like Br. Kheyr or Sister Rahiima . On the other hand, from family and friends and aquaintances, there are others who may have interest in you, but although they are excellent in their spiritual resume, they fall short in striking that special spark of fire in your heart like Faarax did, so you are now in a dilemma, you need to know what to do. You reason, "I can not modify the phyisical make up of a person, but I sure can help in modifying the spiritual make up of a pesron who otherwise is good natured and who is crazy about me, but who nevertheless, is not following his deen as expected". If you fall in this profile or close to it, I want you to participate in this discussion with frankness and transparency, let us find a solution together, because life is too short to spend with a wrong person or to compromise your ideals and faith in Allah SWT. I humbly open this discussion as the facilitator, and I hope in this blessed month we can find a solution together, because a believer is a mirror to his sister or brother. But I must warn you, of my destructive and battle grade humor, you make sure to read with caution, because my comments can hit a chord with you, and send you smiling to Kurtunwaarrey mental clinic.

Kheyr One more insight to add to your question To have hidaayat, we have to seek it, and in our Prayers, we ask allah SWT 17 times a day minimum to guides us to the straight path. Which means, that we are all lost except for those who asked Allah to guide. So, in order to see with Baseerah, we need to get close to Allah SWT, because the closer we get the clearer we can see things, and the likewise, the farther away from Allah we go, the darker it gets, so those who get close to Allah find light ( NOOR) and those who stay away stay in darmness. And the best way to get closer to Allah SWT in general is to obey him, particularly, through prayers do we really get close to Allah SWT Allah SWT says "FASJUD WAQTARIB" "Get down on your knees in prostration, and get closer" Now you can see what I am saying, ( with baseerah of course!)

Salaams Princess of Modesty Wishing you a happy Ramadaan Season. Your tagline reads: 1. It isn't what I do, but how I do it. 2. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, 3. and how I look when I do it and say it. I say: 1. Do the right thing, and do it right 2. Say the right things, and say it right 3. Look modest, and as for your sexiness, confine its pleasure to the one who exclusively deserves it. Doing the right things is called ikhlaas Doing things right is called Sunnah Saying the right things is called " Qawlan sadiidan" Saying it right is called " Wa aghdud min sawtic" Looking modest means wearing Hijaab, a modest garment that only shows your intlligence, not your sex appeal.

Ramadaan Kariim Nomads Ramadaan is the Month of Quraan, and what a better way to welcome it than to make niyah to re-memorize surahs that we've forgotten due to lack of motivation. Do you want to become a Hafizul Quraan? You want to know how many months or years it may take? well it all depends on your time and stamina and motivation. I know one guy who memorized the entire Quraan in only six months. Refer to the table below as a guide; If you: Memorize one ayah a day You will memorize Quraan in 17 years 7 months and 9 days. follow the rest.
