^Have ever you considered writing a book?

Islam does not need to ‘come’. Islam was always and shall forever remain here. America and the West in general, are merely today’s adversaries. They’re not the first and are unlikely to be the last. Yet, Islam has survived and will continue on surviving and reaching millions of people. True indeed. From day one of the hostility of quraysh ( who later submitted )untill the end of times

Socod badane with all due respect how can you expect a debate when you don’t even acknowledge the basic tenets of Islam? Living in the west is not a rosy and lofty as make it seem to be. Scratch the surface and you will see! You can’t separate the state from the religion it is like asking the head to be separated from the body! In your ignorance you were encouraging Muslim people to set rivals with the One GOD. ALLAAH Knows better than you how to govern His subjects. We live in our world starving for Islam especially the state. Man made laws are responsible for the misery of today’s world. The rich are getting richer and the poorer even more poor as each year passes. You say the west have become more successful at whose expense may I ask? What difference does it make if a few people live in luxury at the expense of the vast majority of mankind? How can you be considered successful if you are drinking someone’s water, eating someone’s food, enjoying someone’s sweat and tears while you watch that person starve in front of you? Arrogant as ever the few chosen elite have made laws devoid of any reason and justice! People can be arrested for no reason and prosecuted, tortured, and executed without the need of evidence! Water, food, medicine has become privatised so only people with money can drink, eat and treat themselves! Land and natural resources also have become monopolised leaving many homeless, destitute and in despair. The trade system only benefits one side. One side only sells and the other buys at an unreasonable price. The list can go on and on. My point is man made laws are capricious and only serve certain people. The Interest (riba) has impoverished many a nation and indebted them for ever. Hardly anyone is spared from debts today! Men, women and children. The Insurance companies living fat off people’s insecurities about what might happen or not happen to them in the future (al qadaa wal qadar). IMF and World Bank are “legally†robbing other people’s lands and growing their products there when the natives are starving according to some secret contract signed behind doors with the puppet governments. War is fought to subjugate, to test chemical arsenals on people and animals and mostly to bring profit. War sells! Men are suffering! Women are suffering! Children are suffering! Animals are suffering! The entire planet is in crisis! You see how many anti-globalisation students are demonstrating everywhere against this system devoid of justice chanting the slogans “a new world is possibleâ€. Mind you these are the very people born and raised in the “successful†west. But what they don’t have is a practical aim? How we can make another world possible? This is where Islam comes in the picture. Islam gives you a direction and guidance to solve these ever increasing problems. We need GOD To take us through this road full of thorns after all we belong to Him and soon we shall return to Him. We need GOD. We need GOD. We need GOD.

Castro had happily and utterly rejected the existence of Allah and for the life of me; I cannot understand why would anyone with the right frame of mind expect him to denounce homosexuality. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Amazing. Compare the burial of the pope to the saudi king. What a contrast!

^ Thank you very much. I am so looking forward to the month of Ramadhaan.

^ You are not the only one. This sahaba fainted whenever he recalled the event because he was present and didn't rush to aid him. SA'IID IBN 'AAMIR Greatness Under Worn-out Garments Does any of us know this man or have any of us ever heard his name before? Most probably, the majority of us, if not all, have not heard his name mentioned before. I imagine that you wonder, who is Sa'iid Ibn 'Aamir? Well, you are about to embark on a journey back in time so as to find out all that there is to be known about this "happy" ("Sa'id" means "happy ") man, so fasten your seat belts. In short, Sa'iid was one of the outstanding Companions of the Prophet (PBUH), notwithstanding the fact that his name was seldom, if ever, mentioned. He was one of the most distinguished unknown pious Companions. It was natural that he, like all Muslims, would accompany the Prophet (PBUH) in all his expeditions and battles, for as a believer, he could not lag or turn his back on Allah's Prophet (PBUH) in peace or war time. Shortly before the Conquest of Khaibar, Sa'id submitted himself to Islam. Ever since he embraced Islam and gave his allegiance to the Prophet (PBUH)), he consecrated his life, existence, and destiny to the service of Islam. All the great virtues of obedience, asceticism, dignity, humbleness, piety, and pride thrived harmoniously inside this pure and kind man. In our attempt to unveil his greatness, we must bear in mind that, in most cases, appearance contrasts with reality. If we are to judge him by his outer looks, we will not do him justice, for he was definitely ill-favoured as regards his appearance. He had dusty uncombed hair. Nothing in his looks or appearance distinguished him from poor Muslims. If we are to judge his reality by his appearance, we will see nothing impressive or breath-taking. But if we dive deep into his inner self beyond his outer appearance, we will see greatness in the full meaning of the word. His greatness stood aloof from the splendour and ornament of life. Yet, it lurked there beyond his modest appearance and worn-out garments. Have you ever seen a pearl hidden inside its shell? Well, he was much like this hidden pearl. When the Commander of the Faithful 'Umar Iban Al- Khattaab dismissed Mu'aawiyah from his position as governor of Horns, in Syria, he exerted himself in searching for someone who was qualified to take over his position. Undoubtedly, 'Umar's standards of choice of governors and assistants were highly cautious, meticulous, and scrutinizing. He believed that if a governor committed a sin, error, or violation, two people would be asked to account for it before Allah: "Umar and the governor, even if this governor were in the farthest comer of the earth. His standards of estimation and evaluation of governors were highly subtle, alert, and perceiving. Centuries before the advent of Islam, Horns, was a big city that witnessed, one after the other, the dawn and eclipse of many civilizations. Besides, it was a vital trade center. The attractions of the vast city turned it into a place of seduction and temptation. In "Umar's opinion only an ascetic, devout, and repentant worshiper would be able to resist and renounce its attractions. 'Umar suddenly realized that Sa'iid Ibn Aamir was the man he was looking for and cried out, "Sa'id Ibn Aamir is the right man for this mission." He summoned him. Sa'iid was offered the governorship by the Commander of the Faithful, but he refused saying, "Do not expose me to Fitnah (trials and affliction)." 'Urnar then cried out, "By Allah, I will not let you turn me down. Do you lay the burdens of your trusteeship and the caliphate upon my shoulders, then you refuse to help me out? " Instantly, Sa'iid was convinced of the logic of 'Umar's words. Indeed, it was not fair to abandon or avoid their obligation towards their trusteeship and towards the caliphate and lay them on 'Umar's shoulders. Moreover, if people like Sa'iid Ibn 'Aamir renounced the responsibility of rule, then 'Umar would definitely have a hard time to find a man who was highly pious and righteous enough to be entrusted with such a mission. Hence, Sa'id traveled with his wife to Syria. They were newly wed. Ever since his bride was a little girl, she had been an exquisitely blooming beauty. Umar gave him a considerable sum of money at the time of his departure. When they settled down in Syria, his wife wanted to use this money, so she asked him to buy appropriate garments, upholstery, and furniture, and to save the rest of it. Sa'id said to her, "I have a better idea. We are in a country with profitable trade and brisk markets, so it would be better to give this money to a merchant so as to invest it." She said, "But if he loses it ?" Sa'id said, "I will make him a guarantee that the amount will be paid notwithstanding." She answered, "All right then." Of course, Sa'id went out and bought the necessities for an ascetic life, then gave all his money in voluntary charity in Allah's cause to the poor and those in need. Time went by, and every now and then his wife would ask him about their money and their profits and he would answer, "It is a highly profitable trade." One day, she asked him the same question before one of his relatives who knew what he had done with the money. His relative smiled, then he could not help laughing in a way that made Sa'id's wife suspicious. Therefore, she prevailed on him to tell her the truth. He told her, "Sa'id on that day gave all his money in voluntary charity in Allah's cause." Sa'id's wife was broken-hearted, for not only had she lost her last chance to buy what she wanted but also lost all their money. Sa'id gazed at her sad, meek eyes glistening with tears that only added more charm and grace to her eyes; yet before he yielded to this fascinating figure, he perceived Paradise inhabited by his late friends and said: "I had companions who preceded me in ascending to Allah and you will not deviate from the path they have taken, not for the world." He was afraid lest her excelling beauty should make her disobey him; therefore he said as if he were talking to himself, "You know that Paradise is filled with Houris, fair females with wide and lovely eyes as wives for the pious, who are extremely lovely. If one of them had a peep at the earth, she would illuminate it with her light that combines the light of both the earth and the moon. So you should not blame me if I chose to sacrifice your love for their love and not vice versa." Throughout his talk, he was calm, pleased, and satisfied. His wife was peaceful, for she realized that she had no choice but to follow Said's example and adopt herself to his rigid, ascetic, and pious way of life. Horn, at that time was called the second Kufa. The reason behind this was that its people were easily stirred and swayed to revolt against their governors. Horns was named after Al-Kufa in Iraq, which was notorious for endless mutiny and uprisings. Although, the people of Horns were given to mutiny, as we have already mentioned, Allah guided their hearts to His righteous slave Sa'iid. Thus, they loved and obeyed him. One day, Umar said to him, "I find it rather strange that the people of Syria love and obey you." Sa'iid answered, "Maybe they love me because I help and sympathize with them." Despite the love of the people of Horns for Sa'id, their innate rebellious disposition got the better of thern. Hence, sounds of discontent and complaint began to be heard, thus proving that Horns was not called the second Kufa in vain. One day, as the Commander of the Faithful was visiting Horns, he asked its people who gathered around him for their opinion of Sa'id. Some made complaints against him which were blessings in disguise, for they unveiled an impressively great man. "Urnar asked the criticizing group to state their complaints one by one. The representative of the group stood up and said, "We have four complaints against Sa'iid : First, he doesn't come out of his house until the sun rises high and the day becomes hot. Second, he does not see anyone at night. Third, there are two days in every month in which he doesn't leave his house at all. Fourth, he faints every now and then, and this annoys us although he can't help it." The man sat down and Umar was silent for a while for he was secretly supplicating Allah saying: "Allah, I know that he is one of Your best slaves. Allah, beseech You not to make me disappointed in him." He summoned Sa'id to defend himself. Sa'id replied, "As for their complaint that I do not get out of my house before noon, by Allah I hate to explain the reason that made me do that, but I have to do so. The reason is that my wife does not have a servant, so I knead my dough, wait for it to rise, bake my bread, perform ablution and pray Duha, then I go out of my house." Umar's face brightened as he said," All praises and thanks be to Allah." Then he urged him to refute the rest of the allegations. Sa'id went on, "As for their complaint that I do not meet anyone at night, by Allah, I hate to say the reason, but you force me to. Anyway, I have devoted the day to them and consecrated the night for Allah. As for the third complaint that they do not see me two days per month, well, I do not have a servant to wash my garment and I have no spare one. Therefore, I wash it and wait for it to dry shortly before sunset, then I go out of my house to meet them. My defence against the last complaint of the fainting fits is that I saw with my own eyes Khubaib Al-Anaaariy being slain in Makkah. The Quraish cut his body into small pieces and said, 'Do you want to save yourself and see Muhammad in your place instead?' He answered, 'By Allah, I will not accept your offer of setting me free to return to my family safe and sound, even if you gave me all the splendors and ornaments of life in return for exposing the Prophet (PBUH) to the least annoyance, even if it was a prick of a thorn.' Now, every time this scene of me standing there as a disbeliever, watching Khubaib being tortured to death and doing nothing to save him flickers in my mind, I find myself shaking with fear of Allah's punishment and I faint." These were Sa'id's words which left his lips that were already wet from the flow of his pure and pious tears. The overjoyed 'Umar could not help but cry out, "All praises and thanks be to Allah Who would not make me disappointed in you!" He hugged Sa'id and kissed his graceful and dignified forehead. What a great guidance must have been bestowed on those outstanding men! What an excellent instructor Allah's Prophet (PBUH) must have been! What a penetrating light must have emanated from Allah's Book! What an inspiring and instructive school Islam must have been! I wonder if the earth can take in so much of the piety and righteousness of those fortunate men. I presume that if that happened, then we would no longer call it the earth but rather Paradise. Indeed the "Promised Paradise." Since it is not time for Paradise yet, it is only natural that those glorious superior men who pass by life are but few, very few. Sa'id Ibn 'Aamir was definitely one of those superior Muslims. His position allowed him a considerable salary, yet he took only enough money to buy the necessities for himself and his wife and gave the rest in voluntary charity in the way of Allah. One day, he was urged to spend this surplus on his family and relatives, yet he answered, "Why should I give it to my family and relatives? No, by Allah, I will not sell Allah's pleasure to seek my kinfolks' pleasure." He was later urged, "Spend more money on yourself and on your family and try to enjoy the lawful good things." But he always answered, "I will not stay behind the foremost Muslims after I heard the Prophet (PBUH) say, 'When Almighty Allah gathers all people on the Day of Reckoning, the poor believers will step forward in solemn procession. They will be asked to stop for reckoning but they will answer confidently: We have nothing to account for. Allah will say: My slaves said the truth. Hence, they will enter Paradise before all other people.'" In A.H. 10, Sa'iid met Allah with a pure record, pious heart, and honourable history. He yearned for so long to be among the foremost Muslims; in fact, he consecrated his life to fulfil their covenant and follow in their footsteps. He yearned for so long for his Prophet (PBUH) and instructor and his pure and repentant comrades. He left all the burdens, troubles, and hardships of life behind. He had nothing but his pious, ascetic, awesome, and great inner self. These virtues made the balance of good deeds heavy rather than light. He impressed the world with his qualities rather than with his conceit. Peace be upon Sa'id Ibn 'Aamir. Peace be upon his life and resurrection. Peace be upon the honourable and obedient Companions of the Prophet and blessings and peace be upon him.

Truly Islam reconciles the broken hearts and replaces animosity with brotherhood. What a great religion Islaam is!

Bashi I coudn't have said it better than you!

By Malik al Shabaz There was two kinds of slaves. There was the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes - they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good 'cause they ate his food -- what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near the master; and they loved their master more than the master loved himself. They would give their life to save the master's house quicker than the master would. The house Negro, if the master said, "We got a good house here," the house Negro would say, "Yeah, we got a good house here." Whenever the master said "we," he said "we." That's how you can tell a house Negro. If the master's house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. If the master got sick, the house Negro would say, "What's the matter, boss, we sick?" We sick! He identified himself with his master more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, "Let's run away, let's escape, let's separate," the house Negro would look at you and say, "Man, you crazy. What you mean, separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?" That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a "house nigger." And that's what we call him today, because we've still got some house niggers running around here. This modern house Negro loves his master. He wants to live near him. He'll pay three times as much as the house is worth just to live near his master, and then brag about "I'm the only Negro out here." "I'm the only one on my job." "I'm the only one in this school." You're nothing but a house Negro. And if someone comes to you right now and says, "Let's separate," you say the same thing that the house Negro said on the plantation. "What you mean, separate? From America? This good white man? Where you going to get a better job than you get here?" I mean, this is what you say. "I ain't left nothing in Africa," that's what you say. Why, you left your mind in Africa. On that same plantation, there was the field Negro. The field Negro -- those were the masses. There were always more Negroes in the field than there was Negroes in the house. The Negro in the field caught hell. He ate leftovers. In the house they ate high up on the hog. The Negro in the field didn't get nothing but what was left of the insides of the hog. They call 'em "chitt'lin'" nowadays. In those days they called them what they were: guts. That's what you were - a gut-eater. And some of you all still gut-eaters. The field Negro was beaten from morning to night. He lived in a shack, in a hut; He wore old, castoff clothes. He hated his master. I say he hated his master. He was intelligent. That house Negro loved his master. But that field Negro -- remember, they were in the majority, and they hated the master. When the house caught on fire, he didn't try and put it out; that field Negro prayed for a wind, for a breeze. When the master got sick, the field Negro prayed that he'd die. If someone come to the field Negro and said, "Let's separate, let's run," he didn't say "Where we going?" He'd say, "Any place is better than here." You've got field Negroes in America today. I'm a field Negro. The masses are the field Negroes. When they see this man's house on fire, you don't hear these little Negroes talking about "our government is in trouble." They say, "The government is in trouble." Imagine a Negro: "Our government"! I even heard one say "our astronauts." They won't even let him near the plant -- and "our astronauts"! "Our Navy" -- that's a Negro that's out of his mind. That's a Negro that's out of his mind. Just as the slavemaster of that day used Tom, the house Negro, to keep the field Negroes in check, the same old slavemaster today has Negroes who are nothing but modern Uncle Toms, 20th century Uncle Toms, to keep you and me in check, keep us under control, keep us passive and peaceful and nonviolent. That's Tom making you nonviolent. It's like when you go to the dentist, and the man's going to take your tooth. You're going to fight him when he starts pulling. So he squirts some stuff in your jaw called novocaine, to make you think they're not doing anything to you. So you sit there and 'cause you've got all of that novocaine in your jaw, you suffer peacefully. Blood running all down your jaw, and you don't know what's happening. 'Cause someone has taught you to suffer -- peacefully. The white man do the same thing to you in the street, when he want to put knots on your head and take advantage of you and don't have to be afraid of your fighting back. To keep you from fighting back, he gets these old religious Uncle Toms to teach you and me, just like novocaine, suffer peacefully. Don't stop suffering -- just suffer peacefully. As Reverend Cleage pointed out, "Let your blood flow In the streets." This is a shame. And you know he's a Christian preacher. If it's a shame to him, you know what it is to me. There's nothing in our book, the Quran -- you call it "Ko-ran" -- that teaches us to suffer peacefully. Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery. That's a good religion. In fact, that's that old-time religion. That's the one that Ma and Pa used to talk about: an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, and a head for a head, and a life for a life: That's a good religion. And doesn't nobody resent that kind of religion being taught but a wolf, who intends to make you his meal. This is the way it is with the white man in America. He's a wolf and you're sheep. Any time a shepherd, a pastor, teach you and me not to run from the white man and, at the same time, teach us not to fight the white man, he's a traitor to you and me. Don't lay down our life all by itself. No, preserve your life. it's the best thing you got. And if you got to give it up, let it be even-steven. The slavemaster took Tom and dressed him well, and fed him well, and even gave him a little education -- a little education; gave him a long coat and a top hat and made all the other slaves look up to him. Then he used Tom to control them. The same strategy that was used in those days is used today, by the same white man. He takes a Negro, a so-called Negro, and make him prominent, build [sic] him up, publicize him, make him a celebrity. And then he becomes a spokesman for Negroes -- and a Negro leader. I would like to just mention just one other thing else quickly, and that is the method that the white man uses, how the white man uses these "big guns," or Negro leaders, against the black revolution. They are not a part of the black revolution. They're used against the black revolution.

The event marked their first annual fundraising event for the year, and the proceedings of the event are going to support the Badhan Hospital in Badhan, Sanaag, Somalia, and it is designed to pay the salary of the only doctor in the hospital. Hal dhakhtar keliya :eek:

Al-Qaeda is a brand name of the West's own making: This explains why the Western rulers know so much about this al qaeda than the muslims.

The villagers who are brutaly massacred are those who support the Islamic movement. Men, women, children no one is spared the butchery. And when the secular goverment has done its dirty job, the atrocities are blamed on some dodgy Islamic fundamentalists, al qaeda and what not. Just the other day a news headline revealed how the british government produces anti-western websites In the name of Islam. The reason claims the government is to catch those who are drawn to such sites. In other words all those al qaeda threats come not from some mountain in Afghanistan but from the democratic government. At the end of the ALLAAH Knows and nothing can be hidden from him.

ALLAAH Is the All Knowing the All Wise. He Is the Creator of everything we see and everything we can't see. The Shariica Is His Gift to us. Every one benifits from the Shariica; people, animals etc The Shariica is our only link to the next life. After a short while we shall all return to Him.

What a sincere poem!

KHUBAIB IBN ADIY A Hero on the Cross! And now, pave the way for this hero. Come nearer from all directions, from everywhere. Come in any way you can and strive your utmost, come hurrying and submitting. Approach in order to be taught the lesson of sacrifice, an incomparable lesson. You will say, Weren't all the stories you have previously told lessons of incomparable sacrifice? Indeed, they were lesson of uncomparable magnificence. Nothing whatsoever can be similar to it. However, you are now in front of a new master illustrating the art of sacrifice, a figure who, if you miss meeting him, then you have missed a great deal, indeed a great deal. Come to us, all people of faith in every nation and country. Come to us, lovers of exaltedness in every period and era. And you, too, who carry a heavy burden of illusion and you whose belief in creed and religions is one of falsehood and error. Come with your illusion. Come and see how Allah's religion built men. Come and see what glory, what strength, what firmness, what determination, what sacrifice, what loyalty! To sum up, what extraordinary and amazing greatness has been granted by the belief in truth to its sincere followers. Can you see the crucified body? It is our lesson today - to all mankind! Indeed, the crucified body in front of you is our subject, our lesson, our master. His name is Khubaib Ibn 'Adiy. Remember this name well! Remember it, sing it, it is an honor for anyone belonging to any religion, to any sect, belonging to any ethnic group and living in any He belonged to the Aws tribe from Al-Madiinah. He belonged to the An'aar. Since the day of the Prophet's Hijrah to Al-Madiinah and since the day of his belief in Allah, Lord of the Worlds, he frequently visited the Prophet (PBUH). His soul, spirit, and conscience were pure, and his belief was firm. He was described by Hassaan Ibn Thaabit, Islam's poet: "He looked like a falcon among the Anaaar. Allah endowed him with noble character and good morals." When the standards of the Battle of Badr were lifted, he was there, a bold warrior and a daring fighter. Among the polytheists whom he killed with his sword during the battle was Al-Haarith Ibn 'Aamir Ibn Nawfal. After the battle was over and the defeated remnants of the Quraish had returned to Makkah, the sons of Al-Haarith learned that their father had been killed. They learned the name of his killer very well by heart: Khubaib Ibn 'Adiy. The Muslims returned from Badr to Al-Madiinah and persistently built their new community. Khubaib was a true worshiper, a pious devotee, carrying the nature of a devotee and the longing aspiration of a worshiper. There he turned to worship with the spirit of a passionate lover, praying at night, fasting during the day, glorifying Allah, Lord of the Worlds. One day the Prophet (PBUH) wanted to know the Quraish's secrets so as to be fully aware of the target of their movements and any preparations for a new battle. Therefore, he chose ten of his Companions, among whom was Khubaib, and 'Aasim Ibn Thaabit as leader. The expedition set off towards its destination until they reached a place between 'Asafaan and Makkah. News of them reached an area of Hudhail called Bani Hayaan. They hastened to them with 100 of their most skillful spearmen. They set out to pursue them and to follow their tracks. They almost lost them but for the fact that one of them found some discarded date pits on the sand. He picked them up and, with the amazing skill Arabs were famous for, glanced at them, then shouted loudly so that the others could hear him, "They are date pits from Yathrib"'. Let's follow them and they will surely guide us." They followed the discarded date pits until they could see in the distance what they were searching for. 'Aa&im, the expedition's leader, felt that they were being chased, so he ordered his companions to mount the high peak of a mountain. The 100 spearmen approached and surrounded the foot of the mountain and besieged them thoroughly. They asked them to surrender themselves after giving them their word not to hurt them. The ten turned to their leader, 'Aasim Ibn Thaabit Al-Ansaariy (May Allah be pleased with them all), and waited for his command. He then said, "As for me, by Allah, I will never let myself fall into the protection of a polytheist. May Allah inform our Prophet (sollallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) about us." The spearmen then began to throw their spears at them. Their leader 'Aasim was wounded and died as a martyr. In the same way seven others were wounded and died as martyrs. The rest were then called and promised that they would be safe if they came down. The three descended, Khubaib and his two friends. The spearmen approached Khubaib and his companion, Zaid Ibn Ad-Dithinnah, and tied them up. Their third one recognized the beginning of their deceipts, so he decided to die there where 'Aasim and his companions had fallen. He died where he wished. That is how some of the greatest, most faithful, most loyal to Allah and his Prophet (PBUH), and most sincere believers passed away. Khubaib and Zaid tried to untie themselves, but they were tied very thoroughly and tightly. The deceptive spearmen took them to Makkah where they sold them to the polytheists. The name of Khubaib reached everyone's ear. The sons of Al-Haarith Ibn "Aamir, who had been killed in Badr, remembered his name very well and were moved by spite and hatred. They hurried to buy him. Most of the inhabitants of Makkah, who h d lost their fathers and leaders in the Battle of Badr, competed in purchasing him in order to take revenge. They enjoined each other to take revenge on him and commenced to prepare him for a fate to satisfy their desire for revenge, not directed at him, as such, but at all the Muslims. Some other people took Khubaib's companion Zaid Ibn Ad-Dithinnah and set out to torture him severely. Khubaib submitted his heart, his whole life, and destiny to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. He turned to His worship with a firm soul, unruffled and fearless, accompanied by a divine tranquility. Even hard, solid mountain rocks and terror itself might melt and simply vanish due to it. Allah was with him, and he was with Allah. Allah's hand was over him, and he could almost feel His fingers within his chest. One day, one of Al-Haarith's daughters entered where he was kept as a captive at Al-Haarith's house. She quickly hurried out, calling the people to see an unbelievable thing! "By Allah, I saw him holding a big bunch of grapes, eating from it while being fettered with iron chains - at a time when there isn't a single grape in Makkah. I can't think of it except as being a blessing from Allah!" Indeed, it was a blessing given by Allah to His virtuous worshiper, as He gave to Maryam (Mary, mother of Jesus) daughter of 'Imraan before: < Whenever Zakariya entered the sanctuary he found her furnished with provision, he said, "O Mary from where did you get this?" She said. "It is from GOD, surely GOD provides who He pleases without measure" > (3 : 37). The polytheists brought him the news of the death of his companion Zaid Ibn Ad-Dithinnah (May Allah be pleased with him). They hoped thereby to break down his nerves. However, they did not know that Allah, the Most Merciful, had invited him into His hospitality, blessing him with divine tranquility and mercy. They set out to bargain with him over his faith, promising to save his life if he disbelieved in Muhammad and his Lord, but they were like children trying to catch the smiby a mere arrow-shot. Indeed, Khubaib's faith was like the sun in its strength, flame, light, and far-reachedness. He shed light upon those seeking light and warmed those seeking warmth, but the one who approached him to challenge him would be burned and destroyed. When they lost hope of reaching their desire, they took the hero to face his destiny. They took him to a place called At- Tan'iim, where he would be killed. As soon as they reached this place, Khubaib asked them to allow him to pray two rajahs. They allowed him with the hope that he would make up his mind to announce his surrender and disbelief in Allah, His Messenger and His religion. Solemnly, peacefully and humbly Khubaib prayed two rak'ahs. He felt the sweetness of faith within his soul, so that he wished that he could keep on praying and praying. However, he turned toward his killers and said to them, "By Allah, were it not for your thinking that I'm afraid of death, I would have continued praying." Then he lifted his hands towards the sky and said, "O Allah! Count them one by one and then perish them all!" Then he scanned their faces intently and set out singing: When I am being martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I receive my death For Allah's sake. If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs. It was perhaps the first time in Arab history to crucify a man then kill him on the cross. They had prepared out of palm tree trunks a huge cross on which they fixed Khubaib, his limbs tied tightly. The polytheists gathered in obvious glee at his suffering while spearmen prepared their lances. All that cruelty was intentionally performed slowly in front of the crucified hero. He did not close his eyes, and amazing tranquility beamed from his face. Then spears began to skirmish and swords to tear his flesh into pieces. One of the Quraish leaders approached him saying, "Would you like Muhammad to be in your place and you be healthy and secure among your kin?" Only then did Khubaib burst like a thunderstorm, shouting to his killers, "By Allah, I woud not like to be among my relatives and sons enjoying all the world's health and well-being while even a tiny thorn hurts the Prophet." They were the same great words spoken by Zaid Ibn Ad-Dithinnah when he was being killed! The same amazing, dazzling strong words Zaid said one day before they were said by Khubaib. At that, Abu Sufyaan, who had not yet embraced Islam, had to shake his head and say astonished, "By Allah! I've never seen anybody love somebody else the way Muhammad's companions love Muhammad." Khubaib's words were so provocative that the spears and swords began to tear the hero's body to pieces, attacking it with complete madness and cruelty. Not far away from the scene, birds and buzzards were flying around as if waiting for the butchers to end their task and leave the spot so that they could approach the fresh dead body to have a delicious meal. However, soon they called to one another and gathered, and their beaks moved as if whispering and talking. Suddenly they flew away in the sky, far, far away. They smelled by their instinct the scent of a pious, repentant man which spread from his crucified body, so they were ashamed to approach him or to hurt him. The flock of birds flew away, just and pure, into the vastness of space. The group of malicious polytheists returned to their dens in Makkah while the dead body of the martyr stayed there, guarded by a group of Quraishi spearmen. When they were lifting Khubaib onto the palm trunk cross and tying him firmly, Khubaib turned his face towards the sky asking his Ever Manigifcent Lord, "Allah! We fulfilled the mission of Your Messenger. Inform him in the early morning of what is happening to Allah responded to his prayer. While he was in Al-Madiinah, the Prophet (PBUH) was filled with a strong feeling that his Companions were facing a severe trial, and he could almost see the crucified dead body of one of them. Immediately the Prophet (PBUH) sent for Al-Miqdaad Ibn "Amr and Az-Zubair Ibn AAwaam. They mounted their horses and set off to cross the land rapidly. Allah guided them to their desired destination. They lowered Khubaib's body to a pure spot of ground waiting to shelter him under its moist soil. No one knows to this day where Khubaib's grave lies. Maybe that is better and more respectable for him so that he remains in history's memory and in the conscience of life a hero, a hero on the cross. http://www.iberr.org/khubaib.htm

Why are these people who profess to share the Islamic religion with us tarnishing the good name of our religion? Why don't you ask them ?

Please don't read the below article if you are sensitive. Quoutes from russian soldiers in chechenya: "The main thing is to have them die slowly. You don't want them to die fast, because a fast death is an easy death." --Andrei "I would kill all the men I met during mopping-up operations. I didn't feel sorry for them one bit." --Boris "It's much easier to kill them all. It takes less time for them to die than to grow." --Valery "We should have slaughtered all Chechens over 5 years old and sent all the children that could still be re-educated to reservations with barbed wire and guards at the corners. . . . But where would you find teachers willing to sacrifice their lives to re-educate these wolf cubs? There are no such people So there will be one Chechen less on the planet, so what? Who will cry for him?" --Gennady Gennady says his officers taught him to trust no one in Chechnya, not even the children. "There were cases when small kids would run to the middle of the road, right in front of a moving convoy of trucks and APCs. And they were shot dead right on the spot by soldiers who thought the kid could be carrying a mine or a grenade. Hell knows, maybe they weren't. But it is better to be safe than sorry." Polish writer Krystyna Kurczab-Redlich visited the region where she witnessed the brutal work done by Russia's soldiers in their fight against separatists Sunday October 27, 2002 The Observer At 5am on 14 April 2002, an armoured vehicle moved slowly down Soviet Street. A young brown-haired man, covered in blood, his hands and feet bound, stood onboard. The vehicle stopped and the man was pushed off and brought over to a nearby chain-link fence. The car took off and there was a loud bang. The force of the explosion, caused either by a grenade or dynamite, sent the man's head flying into the neighbouring street, called Lenin's Commandments. 'It was difficult to photograph the moment, though I have grown somewhat accustomed to this,' says a petite greying Chechen woman, who has spent years documenting what Russia calls its 'anti-terrorism campaign'. Blowing people up, dead or alive, she reports, is the latest tactic introduced by the federal army into the conflict. It was utilised perhaps most effectively on 3 July in the village of Meskyer Yurt, where 21 men, women and children were bound together and blown up, their remains thrown into a ditch. From the perspective of the perpetrators, this method of killing is highly practical; it prevents the number of bodies from being counted, or possibly from ever being found. It has not always succeeded in this respect, however. Since the spring, dogs have been digging up body parts in various corners of Chechnya, sometimes almost daily. Russian Torture Methods Outlined A very detailed report on filtration (concentration) camps and torture methods has been written by the health minister of the pro-Chechen (and legitimately elected) Maskhadov government who is also a survivor of these filtration camps. The report outlines the procedures used by troops from Russian Interior Ministry, Federal Security Services, Defense Ministry and others in the many filtration camps set up inside Chechnya and in nearby regions in Russia. There is no legal law. Prisoners who disappear or die are labeled "released." Some filtration camps sell corpses or tortured prisoners to relatives. The report is graphic and shocking and includes many observations; some of which can be also found in testimonies published by a variety of international human rights organizations including Memorial Human Rights Center. The following is a list and brief description of some of the torture methods used by Russians on all detained Chechens, including innocent children, women, elderly, handicapped men and others: 1. Electric Shock: a common form of torture whereby electrodes are fastened on sensitive parts of the body (eyes, genitals, breasts, ears, nose, head, etc). In some cases, the electrodes are placed inside the victim (rectum, mouth, etc). 2. Respirator Torture: when a victim is seated on a chair which is bolted to the floor. The victim's hands and arms are tied under the chair. A respirator is placed on the victim's head while the respiratory tube is closed. The victim feels like he/she is suffocating because there is no air. Victims have testified that the Russian soldiers laugh throughout. 3. Teeth Torture: a prisoner is tied to a chair and a piece of wood is put inside his mouth while the Russian soldier saws his teeth. This is also called "Wolf Canine Torture" because Russians mock the victim and say they are "sawing wolf canines." (Wolf is an important symbol of the Chechen people). 4. "Feeding" Torture: A victim is deprived of water and food for several days. then his/her tongue is crushed using pliers. Their bodies are often beatn with truncheons and then they are forced to eat very hot things with burning spices. The pain in the mouth with pain in the body is severe. 5. "Chechen Round Table" Torture: This is when victims are tied to chairs around a round table. Russian soldiers nail each of their tongues to the edge of the table. 6. Swallow Torture: A very common form used against Chechen people whereby legs and arms are tied behind the victim's back. His head hangs. The pain in the joints of the victims lasts long after he/she is untied. 7. Male Body-Ice Torture: When victims in winter are naked, placed on a floor with ice, beaten with truncheons and forced to sit on the ice. 8. Public Rape 9. Imaginary Execution: a form of mental torture which is common and is compounded when the victim also hears the cries of other torture victims, especially at night. 10. Mental Torture: whereby victims are forced to watch the torture of others. 11. Animal Torture: whereby Russian soldiers force victims to crawl between soldiers so that the victims are "crawling" at the orders of the Russian soldiers. If a victim fails to do this, he/she is often killed. 12. Sexual torture of Chechen males by Russian soldiers: Rape of males by Russian soldiers. 13. Beatings: victims, including those who are handicapped, are beaten with rifle butts, boots, etc. Russians often beat amputated stumps of victims while others watch. 14. Verbal Torture: common and powerful. A form of fear & intimidation tactics as well as mental torture. Russian soldiers threaten to kill a victim by describing deailts of a torture. Soldiers also insult Chechen people and call them And many many more.....
