Beautiful Heard this story before masha'allah thanks

Your Welcome everyone Thanks Darman

Salam Another interesting email i got :cool: Pick Your Teeth! It's one of the greatest sins and yet it's something we do day after day.Sometimes we don't even realise it. You're just chatting away with your friends and you begin to talk about somebody else. Our whole lives are based around 'Home and Away' and 'Neighbours', soaps based on lying, backbiting etc. But look at what the Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam said about it: The Prophet Salalahu Alayhi Wasallam was sitting with his companions one day and one of them was speaking badly about someone who wasn't there. As the man got up to leave the Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam said to him: "Pick Your Teeth!" "But I haven't eaten anything," the man protested. "No," the Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam said "YOU HAVE EATEN THE FLESH OF YOUR DEAD BROTHER". As Allah tells us in the Quran:"Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? No, you would hate it." (Al-Qur'an 49:12) But What If It's True?! The Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam told us:"Backbiting is to say something about someone they wouldn't like said about them....If what bad you said about them is true, then you have backbited and if it is false then you have slandered them."(MUSLIM) If you're still not convinced of how big a sin backbiting really is, then look at the punishment Allah has in store for the backbiters. The Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam described: "On the night of me'raaj I passed by some people who had metal hooks in their hands and were clawing at their faces and their necks with them. I asked Gabriel 'Who were these people?' He said 'These are the people who eat the flesh of human beings and disgrace them' (Abu Dawud). This is how big a sin backbiting is looked upon and yet we continue tobackbite without a second thought. Next time you lie, talk about somebody,remember Allah (swt) and the Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam and put them in front of you before you speak. Just having a Laugh! Maybe we think it's all right to take the mick out of someone so long as we say it to their face. We'll make fun of the way someone talks, walks,or how they look. Allah warns us against such behaviour: "O you who believe. Let not some men laugh at others, it may be the that they are better than you. Nor let some women laugh at others it may be that they are better than you. Nor abuse each other, nor be sarcastic to eachother by using offensive nicknames..."(Al-Qur'an 49:11) Don't forget that Allah made us the way we are, so how can you even think of making fun of his creation? Cool to Swear? Listen to yourself and to your friends speaking one day - nearly every sentence will have a swear word in it, thinking it's cool and macho to swear, copying the idols of TV and the cinema. Is it really 'cool' to swear? The Hellfire is far from being cool. People will wish they were cool then rather than being cool in this world. Remember! That every time you speak, an angel writes down what you say, and that one day you will have to answer for every single word you ever uttered. So if you swear at someone then it's written down as a sin against you. You're only harming yourself. The Prophet sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam said that:"Abusing a Muslim is a sin and fighting with him is disbelief."(MUSLIM). 'But sometimes you just have to swear'! We've all been there - you're just so angry with somebody and the only way you can express yourself, is to swear at them. The solution? ... Don't get angry in the first place. A man came to the Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam one day and said "Advise me". The prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam said "Don't become angry. Don't become angry. Don't become angry".... "When one of you gets angry while he is standing up, he should sit down. Then anger will leave him, and if not then he should lie down" (Ahmad) So let us follow this beautiful advice of the Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam and remember that anger is from Shaytaan. If someone angers you or swears at you, then don't harm yourself by doing the same but respond in a better way as Allah says in the Qur'an: "Repel evil with what is better. Then he who was your worst enemy will become your best friend." (Al-Qur'an 41:33) "It wasn't me. Honest." How often do we say such a phrase or say that "I was only joking". We treat lies as being trivial. However we are told that:"Allah's messenger did not hate anything more than lying"(Ahmed). The Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam was once asked "Can a Muslim be a coward?" He Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam replied "Yes." and then asked "Can a Muslim be a miser?" and the reply was "Yes." The Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam was then asked "Can a Muslim be a liar?" The Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam replied "NO! A Muslim can never be a liar".Furthermore, he said "Truth leads to virtue and virtue leads to paradise...Lying leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to the hellfire." (Bukhari). As we know that one lie leads to another ten lies which lead to bad actions. Remember you can lie and think that you have got away with it but on the day of Judgement your hands, tongue and feet will bear testimony against you and tell the truth. But it's only words! One day one of the companions asked the Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam "O Messenger of Allah. Will we be called to account for what we say?" He replied "May you be lost to your mother - people will be thrown, faces down into the hellfire, only on account to what their tongues said." (Tirmidhi). Indeed the tongue controls the rest of your body. A well-controlled tongue will keep us within Islam but a loose tongue will destroy us. The Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam said: "When a person gets up in the morning, all the parts of his body make a plea to his tongue saying; 'Fear Allah regarding us, because we follow you. If you are right then we shall also be right , and if you are wrong then we shall also be wrong." (Tirmidhi) Instead of swearing, lying and engaging in useless talk we can use our tongues in better ways and what better than telling people about Islam.Allah says: "Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah and works righteousness and says I am one of those who bow down in Islam" (41:33) Your tongue can save you as well!.Indeed if you control your tongue and speak good then paradise can be yours. The Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam said:"Whoever can guarantee me two things I can guarantee them Paradise." The companions asked "What, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied "What is between his jaws (his tongue) and his legs (private parts)."(Bukhari) "I've lied and backbited, sworn and made fun of others. I must be doomed I must be going to hell!" NO!Allah (swt) tells us in the Quran: "O my servants who have wronged themselves, never despair of the mercy of Allah for truly he forgives all sins. He is the Forgiving, the Merciful."(39:53) So if you really repent and turn back to Allah and promise not to commit the sin again then truly Allah's promise is true and He will forgive you. If you've backbitten someone - go and tell the person whom you backbited and apologise sincerely and ask them to forgive you. But if you think that the situation will get worse then turn back to Allah sincerely begging for his forgiveness then to make up for what you said, go around and talk good of him. The Best Example As we know that the best person to have ever lived is the Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam and he is the best of example for mankind. If we follow him we can never go wrong. Ayesha RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anha the Prophet's wife described the Prophet's conduct as follows:"He was neither a obscene talker nor a user of bad words. He did not shout nor did he repay evil with evil. He used to forgive people and overlook their sins." (Tirmidhi) Final Advice: A beautiful saying of the Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam that will ensure the protection of our tongue. The Messenger of Allah Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last day, LET HIM EITHER SPEAK GOOD OR KEEP SILENT"

A forward i got hope you guys enjoy it What is the level of your Eemaan? Suppose you have not eaten or drunk anything since last two days and nights. Obviously you will be very very hungry and thirsty. Now suppose somebody brings in front of you all the cooked dishes you like most and all the drinks you like most.He asks you to help yourself and eat and drink as much as you can. Obviously you will hurry to satiate your hunger as well as thirst. Now, before the food get nears to your lips, suppose the person who has brought you all the dishes and drinks tells you that in each of these things there is some poison. Will you still eat or drink anything?? I am sure you will not. DO you know why? Because you BELIEVE, that by eating poison, a person dies.Now suppose that person says to you that he will give you one billion dollars, if you eat that poisonous food. Will you eat, then?? Certainly not. Why not? Because you BELIEVE, that by eating poison, a person dies. And life is more precious than one billion dollars. Now suppose he forces you and coerces you to eat. Will you eat? Certainly not. Why not? Because you BELIEVE, that by eating poison, a person dies. And life is more precious than one billion dollars. Do you have such a strong belief in the laws of Allah and the hereafter. Probably not. You know Why? Because if you had such a strong belief in the hereafter, you would never commit any sin.

The Last White Kids -- showed two English children who live in an entirely Muslim district becoming enthusiastic attenders at the local mosque, wrapping themselves in Islamic draperies and learning the Koran. Very Interesting, but i doubt britian will become a "muslim state", i was reading this article about france and the muslim population 5 million muslims (whoa) and they might(they still didnt decide last time i knew) ban the hijjabe subahan'allah

Masha'Allah Shukran brother, I like the way you presented it.

Ina'lilahi wa inaa ilhayi rajiuun May allah make everything easy for them, Subhana'allah sad walaahi but death is something we will all face someday

It is stated in Musnad Ahmad that the Angel of death came to Ibraheem (`alayhi salaam) to take his soul and Ibraheem (`alayhi salaam) said: "Oh Malakul maut, did you see a friend take the soul of a friend?" The Angel of death ascended to his Rabb. It was said: "Say to him, did you see a friend dislike meeting his friend?" The Angel of death returned. Ibraheem (`alayhi salaam) said: "Take my rooh at this instant." Subha,Allah!

Great Idea! Thanks khayr Insha'allah I'm going to try my best

Sad but i'm not suprised at all, soon it's going to be lesbians dressing a girl hehehe let's just wait and see

Heeey this is not fair tried everything it says cannot find your name in the database, shoot wonder what they would've said by the way i wonder how it works what's the little trick behind it.

Can we rationally debate about this without emotional outbursts? lol what's there to debate? Sad news, I guess we'll find out later why these britians were killed, there's probably a reason why hmm i wonder though

I heard in European countries there's way more racism compare to some other parts of the world, well maybe they're good at hiding it.
