  1. Repentance

    Imam Ash-Shaafi`ee

    Diwaan ash-Shaafi`ee

    From "Three Forgotten Prayers" by `Adnaan Aali `Uroor

    © Call to Islam Da`wah Center, UK 1997

     

     

    Al-Muzni who is Aboo lbraaheem Isma`eel ibn Yahya said:

     

    "I entered upon ash-Shaafi'ee during his illness which resulted in his death, so I said to him:

     

    'What is your condition?'

     

    He replied: "I am journeying from this world, and departing from my brothers, drinking from the cup of death, and upon Allaah - Exalted is His remembrance - arriving. And no! By Allaah, I do not know if my soul is travelling towards Paradise or the Fire!" Then he started to weep, and he said:

     

    'In You, the Creator, I raise my longing, And even if I am, O possessor of kindness and generosity, an evildoer, a criminal,

     

    When my heart became constricted and my paths became narrow,

     

    I took my hope in Your pardon and forgiveness as an opening and an escape,

     

    My sins seemed very great to me but when I compared them to Your forgiveness,

     

    I found Your forgiveness to be greater,

     

    You are and still remain the only One who can forgive sins,

     

    You grant and forgive out of Your benevolence and generosity,

     

    Perhaps the One who is the source of all goodness will forgive and overlook my mistakes,

     

    And will hide the sins and burden that I accumulated,

     

    My sins seemed very great to me, so I turned (to You) in humility,

     

    Were it not for my contentment in you, I wouldn't, O my Lord, have seen any comfort at all,

     

    So if You forgive me, You would have forgiven a sinner, A rebellious, oppressive tyrant still sinning,

     

    So my crime is very great, past and present, But Your forgiveness that embraces Your servant is greater and higher,

     

    So whomsoever holds fast to Allaah is truly saved from mankind, And whomsoever's hopes are in Him, will be far removed from any regrets.'

    My Favs;

     

    "We do know of certain knowledge that he [Osama Bin Laden] is either in Afghanistan, or in some other country, or dead." Listen

     

    "Low density, high demand assets." Listen

     

    "We do have a saying in America: if you're in a hole, stop digging ..... erm, I'm not sure I should have said that." Listen

     

    "For people to waste their time chasing that rabbit, only to run it down and find they've got the wrong rabbit, I think is a shame." Listen :D:D:D

    supersonic, mcpharax, sheh grazies amigos.

     

    M,I know u're trying to help. But if a depressed person read your last words they'd be nothing more than annoyed, that is if they hadn't reached the point of numbness.

    sorry for annoying u ina adeer

    glad your not at the numbness state yet. :D

  6. OrgiL, you should hurry sxb, I heard you pal Spade is right behind you. :D

  7. maaya? ok looxaan kuugu qoray :D

     

    Gob is the name of a precious tree. the nomads eat its berries which kind of look like cherries but taste little like apples. The tree grows very tall, close to 70ft maybe higher.


  8. "very strenuous and gruelling"?

     

    Sxb I walked from Masha'Xaled to Badhan crossing those mountains and believe me the pleasures of the eyes and nose were far greater than the pains of the legs. It took us two days and nights.

     

    waa runtaa laakiin meeshu baabuurta kuma fiicna, hadii xooga la galiyo oo dhabo baabuur la helo, ama Geeldoora sifiican loo hagaajiyo, meesha dadku boodhka way kaga dhuumanlahaayeen oo kamaba guureen.

     

    xoolahaad sheeganaysid sxb waa maxay? ma uraniumtii baad aasatay? :D


  9. I was having some cherries which reminded me of our blessed Gob tree.

     

    I recall the last time I had gob, It was January 1996 and I was in DirirDhabe leaving for Nairobi. Oh how i miss it!

     

    The nomads forbade the cutting of this tree, and I heard it is the only tree that was Xaraam for the gudin to touch.

     

    is it possible to plant this tree in North America, like the chinese fella, are there any Faarahs/Haliimos who're interested in this potential business? :D


  10. ^ sxb ma Calmadow baad connection ku haysaa?

     

    reminds me of a large mountain behind mashaxaleed and xawalshawacle,

    If I could get connection, I would retire there! 4 good :D

  12. ^ Good job clooney or "Gaghan"? :D

     

    who was paying attention to some of the reactions of the audience, specially the 'white' americans.

     

    it was quite fasinating realy, specially at the end.

     

    when the father announced his successor, you could hear all the, 'Ohs, BSs, NOs'.

     

    then after Nasir meets his fate, I actualy heard some cries.

     

    another scene was when the 'oil man' thanks the new 'amir', lol, that is when you could hear the Afro-americans express themselves. :D


  13. I was working the night and it snowed, more than 6". I was on the freeway and just after I changed into another interstate on my right, the front-left tire of the car went over an area that was covered thick with snow, and I suddently lost control of the wheel.

     

    the car turned 90 degrees and faced the other direction, but luckily it stoped on the other lane just few inchs before hitting the side curb or falling off to the street bellow.

     

    couple of 8 wheelers passed me, and had my car stopped on the same lane, there was no chance for them to stop or change direction.

     

    I putted my gear back to P, started the car, changed to reverse and went back to my lane. After I came home, I made wudu and prayer two rak'ats.

     

    life is precious, live it wisely.

    be grateful you are breathing!
