<description><![CDATA[
Assalamualaikum to all Muslims,

This blog is just the continuation of my other blogs, why these the reverts / converts embrace Islam, which I extracted from a book........

WHY THEY CHOOSE ISLAM;

Comments made by Revert,
FATHIMA LIENBERG,
If you are a born Muslim but have not been a dutiful one, it is not too late. If you have not started yet, you can start now. Keep your head up high and show the world that you are proud to be a Muslim.

Comments made by Revert,
MALIK AL-SHABAZZ (MALCOLM X),
Islam erases from society the race problem. In the Muslim world, I have met people who in America would have been considered white - but the "white" attitude was removed from their minds by Islam.

Comments made by Revert,
OUM ABDUL-AZIZ,
I feel a sense of respect leaving my house in hijab. My "worth" is no longer determined by my physical appearance. It is my protection from influences which abuse and degrade women.

Comments made by Revert,
MUHAMMAD ALI (CASSIUS CLAY)
Standing in Arafah during Hajj was an exhilarating experience especially to see the concept of equality in Islam in practice. People of different colours, races, heads of state and ordinary men were praying to God, all clad in two simple white sheets.

Comments made by Revert,
LADY EVELYN ZEINAB COBBOLD,
The more I read, the more convinced I became that only Islam can bring peace and happiness. In Islam, we are not born in sin and do not need redemption, and our salvation depends entirely on our actions.

Comments made by Revert,
KARIMA SLACK RAZI,
I realized that Islam gives true equality not only to men and women, but to all races and classes, and individuals are differentiated only on their level of piety.

**********************************
Words of Allah in Holy Quran,(49:17);
They impress on thee as a favour that they have embraced Islam. Say, "Count not your Islam as a favour upon me: nay, Allah has conferred a favour upon you that He has guided you to the Faith, if ye be true and sincere.

**********************************
I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD EXCEPT ALLAH AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS MESSENGER.

A man came to the Prophet and said, "My brother has some abdominal trouble." The Prophet said to him "Let him drink honey." The man came for the second time and the Prophet said to him, 'Let him drink honey." He came for the third time and the Prophet said, "Let him drink honey." He return again and said, "I have done that". The Prophet then said, "Allah has said the truth, but your brother's abdomen has told a lie.
Let him drink honey." So he made him drink honey and he was cured.

<description><![CDATA[
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

SOME MAJOR SINS.

On the authority of Abu Bakarah Nufai Ibn Harith (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "May I tell you what the major sins are? (He repeated this three times). We replied: 'Certainly, O Messenger of Allah'. He said: 'Associating others with Allah; disobedience to parents, (he had been resting on a pillow, then he sat up and continued), 'telling lies and giving false testimony (perjury)". He repeated this sentence so many times that we wished he would stop.

(Hadith - Bukhari and Muslim)

<title>CHRISTIAN MINISTER CHURCH EMBRACED ISLAM.</title>

CHRISTIAN MINISTER OF UNITED METHODISH CHURCH, USA, EMBRACED ISLAM.(JERALD F.DIRKS)

STORY BY JERALD F.DIRKS:
(I skipped a few paragraphs, the childhood story of Jerald F.Dirks in the Christian family).

EXTRACTED FROM RELIABLE ARTICLE:

The early life and education of a Harvard Hollis scholar and author of the book "The Cross and the Crescent", disillusioned by Christianity due the information learnt in its School of Theology.

By age 17, when I began my freshman year at Harvard College, my decision to enter the ministry had solidified. During my freshman year, I enrolled in a two-semester course in comparative religion, which was taught by Wilfred Cantwell Smith, whose specific area of expertise was Islam. During that course, I gave far less attention to Islam than I did to other religions, such as Hinduism and Buddism, as the latter two seemed so much more esoteric and strange to me. In contrast, Islam appeared to be somewhat similar to my own Christianity. As such, I didn't concentrate on it as much as I probably should have, although I can remember writing a term paper for the course on the concept of revelation in the Quran. Nonetheless, as the course was one of rigorous academic standards and demands, I did acquire a small library of about a half dozen books on Islam, all of which were written by non-Muslims, and all of which were to serve me in good stead 25 years later. I also acquired two different English translations of the meaning of the Quran, which I read at the time.

<title>PORK  - ISLAM AND BIBLE AND MEDICAL SCIENCE.</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=112691</link>
<pubDate>17-FEB-07</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

PORK IN ISLAM AND BIBLE AND MEDICAL SCIENCE.

Islam clearly forbids the eating of pork.

The Bible too prohibits the eating of pork. The prohibition is mentioned in two books:
Bible, Leviticus:Chapter 11, Verses 7 and 8.

Bible, Deuteronomy:Chapter 14, Verse 8. 

In Leviticus, the BIBLE says: "And the pig......it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you." (Leviticus, 11: 7-8)

Below are comments or written made by MUFTI AFZAL HOOSEN ELIAS:

The abstention from eating pork is one of the steps Islam has taken to practice hygiene and to attain purity of human nature. Medical reasons are numerous and after reading them one will realise the WISDOM of the DIVINE LAW OF ISLAM.

The pig is lazy, indulgent in sex, dislikes the sun, lacks spirit and determination to fight, lacks self discipline in eating and therefore eats even stool. It is the greatest carrier of germs. Eating pork encourages the revival of old ailments, fosters rheumatism and asthma. It also causes baldness and weakening of the memory.

Further proof of the wisdom behind the prohibition of pork is that it is a host to the following worms which themselves are carriers of disease:-

*** Trichina worms are found in infected pork which causes Trichinosis infection in the muscles.

*** Balantidnii cote found in the pig's bowels causes dysentery.

*** Faciolipsi Baski found in the pig's small intestines causes persistent diarrhoea.

*** Round worms, i.e. the "travelling worm" causes local infestation, pneumonia, suffocation, jaundice and even brain tumours.

*** Hookworm causes anaemia, diarrhoea and a typhoid like disease.

*** Paragonimus found in the lung of the pig causes bleeding of the lungs (endemic haemoptysis).

*** Clonorchis senensis found in the bile passage of the pig's liver causes clonobhiasis - a peculiar enlargement of the liver accompanied by severe jaundice, diarrhoea and emaciation.

*** Giganthoryschus gigas found in the pig's intestines causes anaemia and digestive disorders.

*** Mega strongylus apsis found in the pig's lungs causes bronchitis and abscess of the lungs.

*** Swine erysipelas found on the skin of pigs causes fever and inflammation of the skin.

*** Tubercle bacillus causes tuberculosis.

*** Taenia solium (pork tapeworm) found in the eggs of infected pigs causes diarhoea, digestive disorders, anaemia and infected person remains in a state of chronic invalidism.

*** Trichinalla spirales found in flesh of pig causes trichiasis or tiichinelliasis i.e. acute abdominal pains, diarrhoea, twitching in various muscles, the face becomes puffy, eyelids swell, patient becomes weak and develops asthma and skin rash.

*** Varicella causes smallpox.

*** Sarcoptes scabies found in the flesh of the pigs causes scabies.

*** Fusiformis causes foot-rot.

*** Salmonella suipestifer causes cholera.

SUE WATSON, PROFESSOR, PASTOR, CHURCH PLANTER AND MISSIONARY, NOW IN SAUDI ARABIA.
NOW SHE IS A MUSLIM - SISTER KHADIJAH WATSON.

Sister Khadijah Watson an eight year student of formal theological studies accepts Islam due to the consistency of its message.

Sister Khadijah Watson is presently working as a teacher for women in one of the Da'wah (Invitation to Islam) Centers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Below is Sister Khadijah Watson writings or article extracted from RELIABLE SOURCE:

"What happened to you?" This was usually the first reaction I encountered when my former classmates, friends and co-pastors saw me after having embraced Islam. I suppose I couldn't blame them, I was a highly unlikely the person to change religions. Formerly, I was a Professor, PASTOR, church planter and Missionary. If anyone was a radical fundamentalist it was I.

I had just graduated with my Master's Degree of Divinity from an elite seminary five months before. It was after that time I met a lady who had worked in Saudi Arabia and had embraced Islam. Of course, I asked her about the treatment of women in Islam. I was shocked at her answer, it wasn't what I expected, so I proceeded to ask other questions relating to God and Muhammad (may God praise him). She informed me that she would take me to the Islamic Centre where they would be better able to answer my questions.

CONTINUATION - WRITINGS OR ARTICLE FROM SISTER KHADIJAH WATSON (FORMER CHRISTIAN PASTOR):

Being prayed up, meaning asking Jesus for protection against demon spirits, seeing that what we had been taught about Islam is that it is Demonic and Satanic religion. Having taught Evangelism, I was quite shocked at their approach, it was direct and straight forward. No intimidation, no harrassment, no psychological manipulation, no subliminal influence! None of this, "Let's have a Quranic study in your house, like a counter part of the Bible Study. I couldn't believe it! They gave me some books and told me if I had some questions they were available to answer them in the office. That night I read all of the books they gave. It was the first time I had ever read a book about Islam written by a Muslim, we had studied and read books about Islam only written by Christians. The next day I spent three hours at the office asking questions. This went on everyday for a week, by which time I had read twelve books and knew why Muslims are the hardest people in the world to convert to Christianity. Why? Because there is nothing to offer them!! (In Islam) There is a relationship with God, forgiveness of sins, salvation and promise of Eternal Life.

CONTINUATION - WRITINGS OR ARTICLE FROM SISTER KHADIJAH WATSON (FORMER CHRISTIAN PASTOR):

Naturally, my first question centered on the deity of God. Who is this God that the Muslims worship? We had been taught as Christians that this is another god, a false god, when, in fact, He is the Omniscient-All Knowing, Omnipotent-All Powerful, and Omnipresent-All Present God - The One and Only without co-partners or co-equal. It is interesting to note that there were bishops during the first three hundreds years of the Church that were teaching as the Muslim believes, that Jesus (may God praise him) was a prophet and teacher!! It was only after the conversion of Emperor Constantine that he was the one to call and introduce the doctrine of the Trinity. He, a convert to Christianity who knew nothing of this religion, introduced a paganistic concept that goes back to Babylonian times. Space, however, does not permit me to go into detail about the subject, but God willing, we will another time. Only, I must point out that the word TRINITY is not found in the Bible in any of its many translation nor it is found in the original Greek or Hebrew languages!

<title>MUSLIMS MEN MARRY JEWS AND CHRISTIANS.</title>

MUSLIMS MEN MARRY JEWS AND CHRISTIANS.

As we know some countries allow the muslims men to marry the women of Jews and Christians or the People of the Book, especially the western part of the world.

Where as some countries DO NOT allowed the muslims men to marry the Jews and Christians, whether some of these countries, the muslims are the minorities or the majorities.

I forwarded a question to Islamic Centre, regarding about muslims men marry Jews and Christians or the People of the Book, in some countries.

The Islamic Centre or the Muslim scholar gave reply or feedback through my email and something that I would like to share.

Below are the reply or feedback from THE MUSLIM SCHOLAR the reasons for some countries which DO NOT allowed such marriages:

Dear Sister,

It is true that it's mentioned in the Holy Qur'an that Muslim men are allowed to marry women of the Christian and Jewish faith (People of the Book). It was implemented and done by some of the companions back in their days. Things were DIFFERENT back then, as everyone agreed that if marriages of that nature were to happen, that they would live in an environment that was influenced by Islam and follow its principles.

Thus, there were no problems with matters pertaining to death, inheritance and the raising of the couples children for example. But nowadays, the context has CLEARLY CHANGED. The Muslim (husband) would have problem in trying to raise his child in an Islamic environment when the wife (Christian/Jew) does not practise the same religion. In fact, the wife might even be able to influence the child to her faith and beliefs.

TO BE CONTINUED..........INSYA'ALLAH.

ALLAH KNOWS BEST.

Continuation - Reply from Muslim scholar:

One of the main points here is that we do not want to confuse the child, we do not want to have any problems when implementing and applying Islamic values and rules in the marriage. Islam has its own set of rules when it comes to marriage, divorce, child custody and etc.

It is then best that all is avoided as we do not wish to see or have conflicts and misunderstandings that will seriously affect the harmony of the family.

And just to add on for your personal info, we've had a number of real couples lately asking us whether they are allowed to have inter-faith marriages. So, it is good that you are asking as now there are more people wanting to have such marriages. We see the importance in educating the public community on this particular issue. And we will work on it soon in the near future. 

Above are the comments and reply through my personal email, from Islamic Centre and Muslim Scholar regarding about the issue and why in some countries such marriages are NOT ALLOWED. Just for sharing.

<title>UNHAPPY MARRIAGES - DIVORCE AND ADVICE.</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=118891</link>

<description><![CDATA[
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

UNHAPPY MARRIAGES - DIVORCE AND ADVICE.

A member personally emailed to me regarding about unhappy marriage, unhappy sexual relationship......., lonely?, no children? and ask about divorce in Islam...........

The member does not elaborate the problems..........and I do not ask more, if that is too personal..........

I believe a lot of people may face the same problems, with the same reasons or of different reasonings..........

Since I don't want to disappoint the member, I try to get the answer for the member and SORRY for the delay..........my apology.

The comments from the Imam, may not fully answered the problems, but at least could give some guidance and knowledge........... Insya'Allah.

May the comments below will at least give some guidance, advice and knowldege to those who face the same problems whether of same or different reasonings...........and also give some guidance and knowledge to ALL..........Insya'Allah.

Below are comments from IMAM, extracted from a source: 

It goes without saying that in Islam it is the duty of the husband and wife to see that they are a source of comfort and tranquality for each other. They should do everything physically, emotinally and spiritually to make each other feel happy and comfortable. They must care for each other.

Islam enjoins husbands to deal with their wives with kindness, decency and fairness. Intimacy is a mutual right for both husband and wife. This has been best summed up in the Quranic imperative: "And they (women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness........."(Al-Baqarah:228)

Therefore, the husband should not deny himself to his wife and the wife also should not deny herself to her husband. They should do their best to satisfy their marriage partner. A husband who without any genuine reason neglects his wife's needs is as sinful as a wife who neglects her husband's needs without any excuse.

We'd like to state that in Islam the marriage of a man and woman is just not just a financial and physical arrangement of living together but a sacred contract, a gift of God, to lead a happy, enjoyable life and continue the lineage. The main goal of marriage in Islam is the realization of tranquility and compassions between the spouses. For the attainment of this supreme goal, Islam defined certain duties and rights for the husband and wife.

<title>ASTROLOGY AND HOROSCOPES IN ISLAM.</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=127091</link>
<pubDate>19-MAR-07</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

ASTROLOGY AND HOROSCOPES IN ISLAM.

Below are comments from Imam extracted from a source:

The great Saudi Scholar, Ibn 'Uthaymeen, said: "Astrology is a kind of sorcery and fortune-telling. It is forbidden because it is based on illusions, not on concrete facts. There is no relation between the movements of celestial bodies and what place on the Earth."

Before the advent of Islam, people would think that the sun and moon might eclipse when a great figure died. During the Prophet's lifetime, it happened that the sun eclipsed on the same day when the Prophet's son Ibrahim died. The people then thought that is had eclipsed because of the Prophet's son's death. On knowing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in the Eclipse Prayer and then delivered them a speech saying: "The sun and moon are but signs of Allah; they do not eclipse because so-and-so died or was born."

This hadith indicates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) denied all relation between the movements of the heavenly bodies and events on the Earth. Besides, people who believe in the prophecies of astrologists are easily exposed to a labyrinth of illusions, pessimism and psychological problems.

MARRIAGE AND THE WIFE'S RIGHTS.

Below are comments made by IMAM, extracted from a source:

The main goal of marriage in Islam is the realization of tranquility and compassions between the spouses. For the attainment of this supreme goal, Islam defined certain duties and rights for the husband and wife.

The Wife's Rights; The Husband's Obligations:

Because the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, have commanded kindness to women, it is the husband's duty to:

1.  Consort with his wife in an equitable and kind manner. Allah Almighty says, ".......and consort with them in kindness." (An-Nisa':19)

2.  Have responsibility for the full maintenance of the wife, a duty which he must discharge cheerfully, without reproach, injury or condescendence. Allah Almighty says: "Let him who hath abundance spend of his abundance, and he whose provision is measured, let him spend of that which Allah hath given him. Allah asketh naught of any soul save that which He hath given it. Allah will vouchsafe, after hardship, ease.?" (At-Talaq:7)

Below comments from Imam:

Components of Maintenance:

Maintenance entails the wife's incontestable right to lodging, clothing, nourishing and general care and well-being.

1.  The wife's residence must be adequate so as to provide her with the reasonable level of privacy, comfort and independence. The welfare of the wife and the stability of the marriage should be the ultimate goal.

2.  What is true of the residence is true of clothing, food and general care. The wife has the right to be clothed, fed and cared for by the husband, in accordance with his means and her style of life. These rights are to be exercised without extravagance or miserliness.

Non-Materials Rights:

A husband is commanded by the Law of God to:

1.  Treat his wife with equity.

2.  Respect her feelings, and to show her kindness and consideration.

3.  Not to show his wife any aversion or to subject her to suspense or uncertainty.

4.  Not to keep his wife with the intention of inflicting harm on her or hindering her freedom.

5.  Let her demand freedom from the marital bond, if he has no love or sympathy for her.

<title>REVERTS AND NON-MUSLIM PARENTS.</title>

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

REVERTS AND NON-MUSLIM PARENTS.

Below are comments made by Imam, which I extracted from article:-

Almighty Allah has emphasized that kindness to parents is one of the most important qualities of believers. He says in the Quran: "Thy Lord hath decreed, that ye worship none save Him, and (that ye show) kindness to parents. 

Allah (swt) says:
"And We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was his weaning: (hear the command), "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me is (thy final) Goal.
"But if they strive to make thee join in the worship with Me things of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not; yet bear them company in this life with justice (and consideration) and follow the way of those who turn to Me: in the end the return of you all is to Me, and I will tell you all that ye did." (Luqman: 14 and 15)

Kindness to parents is mentioned as a duty of believers several times in the Quran. There are many Hadiths that encourage us to be very kind to our parents. However, such kindness does not require a son or a daughter to obey his or her parents in whatever they may require of him or her. Suppose that a father asks his son to tell lie, give false testimony, or drink or do something forbidden.

If the son complies with his father's wish, then he commits a sin that will not be less grave simply because he is carrying out his father's orders. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No creature may be obeyed in what constitutes disobedience to the Creator." That applies even in simple matters. Suppose a father arrives from abroad, having bought a bottle of some expensive alcoholic drink and he asks his son to deliver it to a friend or a neighbour.

If his son complies with his wishes and simply take the bottle to the person concerned, he commits a sin, because carrying an intoxicating drink to someone who will drink it is forbidden. The son must refuse to obey his father in such a situation.

TO BE CONTINUED.........INSYA'ALLAH.

<title>THE MIRACLES PERFORMED BY PROPHET JESUS CHRIST.</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=110491</link>
<pubDate>10-FEB-07</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

THE MIRACLES PERFORMED BY PROPHET JESUS(NABI ISA).

*** According to Islam, many Prophets, including Jesus Christ (Prophet Isa) did perform miracles.

*** Prophet Jesus was conceived miraculously (that is without the intervention of a human male).

Is it surprising?
Prophet Adam was created by Allah without the intervention of male and female.......)

*** Muslims believe that Mary(Maryam) knew that she would conceive Prophet Jesus miraculously. The Quran says that God sent Angels to inform Mary of the good news, that she had been especially chosen to conceive Jesus who would later become a great Prophet.

Words of Allah in Holy Quran (3:42),
"Behold!" the Angels said: 'O Mary God hath chosen thee above the women of all nations."

The Angels proceeded: "O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a word from Him: his name will be Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and (of the company of) those nearest to God. He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity." (Quran,3:46)

*** In the Quran, it is revealed that Prophet Jesus could:
--- Made a bird out of clay.
--- Healed those born blind.
--- Healed the lepers.
--- Gave life to the dead.

*** Prophet Jesus a Servant of God and a great Prophet.

Words of Allah in Holy Quran (19:29-33),
"But she (Mary) pointed to the babe. They said:'How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?' He(the infant Jesus) said: 'I am indeed a Servant of God: He hath given me Revelation and made me a Prophet: and He hath me blessed wheresoever I be. He hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable.'"

*** Every miracle Prophet Jesus Christ performed was done with the power of God, not of his own.

Jesus Christ himself admitted this in the BIBLE(John 5:30),
Jesus said:"I can of my own self DO NOTHING......." 

******* Muslims believe that Jesus Christ performed all these miracles to help him in his mission as a PROPHET OF GOD********

<title>IS VALENTINE'S DAY ISLAMIC?</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=101091</link>
<pubDate>25-JAN-07</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

As we know there are some Muslims who celebrate Valentine's Day and make it a special day........

IS VALENTINE'S DAY ISLAMIC?

Before we answer, its important to know the history of Valentines's Day.

THE HISTORY OF VALENTINE'S DAY.

To state the history of Valentine's day is quite long.......but I summarised which I extracted from article:

**** Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.

**** Today the Catholic Church recognizes at least 3 different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

**** One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome.

**** Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

**** Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and most importantly, romantic figure.

**** While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial.

**** Others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to 'christianize' celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia  festival.

**** Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.

**** Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St.Valentine's Day around 498 A.D.

**** Later, during the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that Feb.14 was the beginning of birds' mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of Feb - Valentine's Day should be a day for romance.

**** It is believed that King Henry V hired a writer named John Lydgate to compose a Valentine note to Catherine of Valois.

**** By the middle of the eighteenth century, it was common for friends and lovers in all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes.

**** Cupid, the child-like, winged deity often associated with modern Valentine's Day, is the son of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. In Greek mythology, Cupid is known as Aphrodite's son Eros.

**** The gift, in a black and gold casket, can still be viewed every Valentine's Day at the Whitefriar Street Church in Dublin, Ireland.

After knowing the History of Valentine's Day, is it fine for Muslims to celebrate and make Valentine's Day a special day.........so ask our KNOWLEDGE AND IMAN OR FAITH..........and try TO FOLLOW THE TRUE TEACHING OF ISLAM.........

<title>OUR CHOICE OR DESTINY AND QADAR.</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=99491</link>
<pubDate>23-JAN-07</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

OUR CHOICE OR DESTINY AND QADAR.

Below are comments made by Dr Ja'far Skeikh Idris, Professor of Islamic Studies, Institute of Islamic and Arabic Sciences who states:

"The original meaning of the Arabic word qadar is a specified measure or amount whether of quantities or qualities. It has many other usages, which branch out from this core. Almighty Allah says, "We have created everthing by measure(bi-qadar)." (Al-Qamar:49)

Allah Almighty knows before creating anything, that He is going to create it and that it shall be of such and such magnitude, quality or nature, etc. He also specifies the time of its coming into being and its passing away, and the place of its occurence. If so, then one who believes in the true God should believe that there are no accidents in nature. If something disaggreable happens to him, he should say "Allah qaddara (ordained) and He did what He willed and not grieve himself by wishing that it had not occured, or worrying why it should occur. If, in contrast, something agreeable happens to him he should not boast of it, but thank Allah for it. In this context, Allah says, "Naught of disaster befalleth in the earth or in yourselves but it is in a Book before We bring it into being. Lo! That is easy for Allah. That ye grieve not for the sake of that which hath escaped you, nor yet exult because of that which hath been given. Allah loveth not all prideful boasters." (Al-Hadid: 22-23)

If Allah Almighty predetermines everthing, that includes our so-called free actions, in what way can they be said to be free, and how are we responsible for them? This question occasioned the appearance, at a very early history of Islam, of two extreme theological sects. One of them, called the Qadariyyah, asserted man's free will and responsibility to the extent of denying Allah's foreknowledge, and claiming that Allah knows our free made actions only after we have performed them. The other, called the Jabriyyah, held the opposite view and claimed that there was no difference between motions of inanimate things and our movements in performing so-called free actions, and that when we use intentional language we speak only metaphorically.

But there is no need to go to such extremes, since it not difficult to reconcile Divine qadar (predestination) and human responsibility. Allah decided to create man as a free agent, but He knows (and how can He not know!) before creating every man how he is going to use his free will; what, for instance, his reaction would be when a Prophet clarifies Allah's message to him. This foreknowledge and its registering in a 'Book' is called qadar.

"But if we are free to use our will a Qadari might say,"We may use it in ways that contradict Allah's will, and in that case we would not be right in claiming that everything is willed or decreed by Allah."

The Quran answers this question by reminding us that it was Allah who willed that we shall be of free will. Allah, Most High, says, "Lo! This is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise." (Al-Insan: 29-30)
"If so, "a Qadari might say,"He could have prevented us from doing evil."

Yes indeed He could. Allah says,"Had Allah willed, He would have brought them all together to the guidance; if thy Lord had willed whoever is in the earth would have believed, all of them, all together." (Yunus: 99) "Had Allah willed, they were not idolaters; and We have not appointed thee a watcher over them neither art thou their guardian." (Al-An'am: 107)

But Allah has willed that men shall be free especially in regard to matters of belief and disbelief. Allah Almighty says, "Say: The truth is from your Lord; so let whosoever will believe and let whosoever will disbelieve." (Al-Kahf: 29)

But men would not be so free if whenever any of them wills to do evil Allah prevents him from doing it and compels him to do good.

"If our actions are willed by Allah," someone might say, "then they are in fact His actions."

This objection is based on a confusion that Allah wills what we will in the sense of granting us the will to choose and enabling us to execute that will, ie. He creates all that makes it possible for us to do it. He does not will it in the sense of doing it, otherwise it would be quite in order to say, when we drink or eat or sleep, for instance that Allah performed these actions. Allah creates them, He does not do or perform them.

Another objection, based on another confusion, is that if Allah allows us to do evil, then He approves of it and likes it.

However, to will something in the sense of allowing a person to do it is one thing; and to approve of his action and commend it, is quite another, NOT everything that Allah wills He likes. He has, as we have just read in the Quran, granted man the choice between belief and disbelief, but He does not, of course, like men to disbelieve (to be thankless).
Allah Almighty says, "If you art ungrateful, Allah is independent of you. Yet He approves not ungratefulness in His servants; but if you are grateful, He will approve it in you." (Az-Zumar: 7)"

<title>DIVORCE - CUSTODY OF CHILD.</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=88091</link>
<pubDate>31-DEC-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Below are comments made by Imam about divorce and custody of child in Islam (summarised):

It is certain that the mother are entitled to the custody of the child, if the child is below nine years of age. Thereafter, the child may be offered a choice between his parents. The father remains responsible to provide him with his need of food, clothes and housing.

If the couple divorced and the child is with the mother, the father is entitled to visit the child or have the child visit him. The same applies to the mother. In Islam there is no denial of access to the child to either parent, unless there is a valid reason determined by the court.

There are many considerations that a Muslim judge looks at before giving custody to one of the parents. In all cases, this is a matter that will have to be dealt with in court or through an arbitrator or a mediator.

If the mother/father are worried about that is to raise the child as a good muslim is extremely important and the parents should do his/her best to gather all of the evidence along with the best lawyer or witnesses they have to gain custody over the child.

The matter could be solved peacefully and without going to court, because courts could be draining to emotions and finaces too. If the couples are not satisfied with the out-of-court settlement and he/she believe the the court system can get them a more favourite settlement, then go ahead with it. But first, try a mediator who really cares about both of the couples and the child and who has the wisdom to end this marriage with minimum harm to both of them.

Custody for the children in Islam is given to the mother when the children are very young. This is on the condition that the mother does not marry again. When the child reaches an age when he or she no longer needs to be looked after by the mother, then he or she is given the choice to join either parent until a boy attains puberty or a girl gets married.

Above are comments made by Imam (summarised).

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

"When any one of you eats, let him eat with his right hand, and if he drinks, let him drink with his right hand, for the Shaytaan eats with his left hand."
(Hadith - Muslim)

The teaching of the Prophet:
"Mention the name of Allah, eat with your right hand, and eat from what is directly in front of you."
(Hadith - Bukhari and Muslim)

The Prophet commanded people to lick their fingers and clean their plates, as Jaabir reported that he said:
"You do not know where in the food is the blessing."
(Hadith - Muslim)

Anas said:
"When the Messenger of Allah ate, he would lick his three fingers. He said:'If any of you drops a mouthful, let him pick it up, remove the dirt, and eat it, and not leave it for the Shaytaan.' He commanded us to clean our plates and said: 'You do not know in which part of your food is the blessing.'"
(Hadith - Muslim)

Hadith narrated by Aa'ishah: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:

'Whenever any of you eats, let him mention the name of Allah ta'ala. If he forgets to mention the name of Allah at the beginning, let him say, 'Bismillahi awwalahu wa aakhirahu'."

<title>THE STRONG AND WEAK MUSLIMS.</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=81691</link>
<pubDate>17-DEC-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said: "A believer who is strong is better and more beloved to Allah than the one who is weak, although both bear goodness. Desire eagerly what benefits you, seek help from Allah and do not show slackness in struggle. If something (trouble) befalls you, you should not say: Had I done so and so, then such and such a thing would not have happened, but you should say that God destined it and did what He wanted, for the word "If" starts the work of Satan."
(Hadith - Muslim)

Note: The main points of this Hadith are:

1. It is better to be a rich, powerful believer than a weak, poor believer because wealth and power give you the means to help other people more.

2. Always try harder to improve yourself and don't be discouraged easily.

3. Don't regret the past because you cannot change it.

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
In the name of Allah,Most Gracious,Most Merciful.

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said: "When Allah wants to favour somebody, He tries him by putting him under some hardship."


On the authority of Abu Sa'eed and Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with them) who said:
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said: "For any trouble, illness, worry, grief, hurt or sorrow which afflicts a Muslim, even the pricking of a thorn, Allah removes in its place some of his minor sins."
(Hadith - Bukhari and Muslim)

On the authority of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
I visited the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when he had fever. I said to him:'Messenger of Allah! You have a very high fever'. He said: "indeed, the intensity of my fever is equivalent to two persons." I said:"That is because you have twice the recompensation'. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "That is so". He further added: "when a Muslim gets hurt with any harmful thing eg. the prick of a thorn, or even more than this, Allah wipes out in its place some of his minor sins which (sins) fall away from him as leaves shed from a tree."
(Hadith - Bukhari and Muslim)

Note: This Hadith means that the more sick you get and the more trouble you face in life, the more your sins will be reduced.

<title>ADDTIONAL INFORMATIONS ABOUT GELATIN.</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=74091</link>
<pubDate>08-DEC-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
In the Name of Allah, The Gracious, The Merciful.

Below are additional informations about GELATIN, extracted from articles:

*** Gelatin is made from the collagen protein found in bone, skin and cartilage. When beef or pork are boiled the collagen is extracted and changes into gelatin.

*** Gelatin, an odorless, colorless, tasteless thickening agent, is the nutritious glutinuous protein material obtained from animal tissues by boiling. Most comes from beef bones, cartilage and tendons and pig skin.

*** In confectionary, gelatin is used as gelling binder in gummy products, wine gums etc......

*** Gelatin is a very efficient foam stabiliser and this property is exploited in the manufacture of marshmallows.

*** Products that use gelatin, could be gelled jelly, ice-cream manufacturing, hard and soft (pharmaceutical) capsules.

*** Gelatin could be used as emulsifying and emulsion stabilising properties used in the manufacture of toffees and water in oil emulsions like low fat margarine.

*** Gelatin is used as a stabilizer particularly in yoghurt.

*** Gelatin could be used in cheese manufacture.

*** Gelatin is used in dried soups to provide the appropriate mouth feel (viscosity) to the final product.

NOTE: Gelatin could also come from vegetable origins......

So, muslims are advisable to check the labels or packing of the food and medicine products, if possible.......

May Allah bless us and guide us, hope that whatever enter into our body is halal and bless by Allah, Insya'Allah, Amiin.

<title>GELATIN - HALAL AND HARAM</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=73091</link>
<pubDate>06-DEC-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
In the Name of Allah, The Gracious, The Merciful.

Below are comments made by Muslim Scholars about Gelatin and extracted from articles:

As far as the Islamic ruling on gelatin is concerned, Dr Su'aad Salih Professor of Fiqh at Al-Azhar University, gives the following fatwa:

"Gelatin is a brittle substance extracted by boiling bones, hoofs and animal tissues. So it depends on the animal tissues. So it depends on the animal itself. If it is an animal whose meat is Halal, such as cow, camel, sheep and so on, then gelatin is Halal, and so is the case with all foods prepared from it. However, if the animal is of Haram meat such as pigs, that the gelatin made of it is unlawful.

Thus, gelatin is Halal unless it is derived from an animal whose meat is Haram to consume. This is the ruling on gelatin extracted from animals.

As for vegetable and artificial gelatin, they are Halal and there is nothing wrong in eating and using them."

Below comment made by Sheikh 'Abdus-Sattar F.Sa'eed, Professor at Al-Azhar University:

However, if the animal is slaughtered by means of electric shock, suffocation and other unlawful ways, then the meat is Haram and gelatin is Haram too, because it is a product of that unlawful animal.
 
Below Additional from an article:

Not all gelatin is made from pork. Some of it is made from cow, lamb, horse bones, while other gelatin is plant based (seaweed and agar-agar).

Below are My personal view:

1. It's better if we know if the animal is slaughtered in Islamic Rulings.

2. It is safer to take gelatin made from vegetable origins.

3. Some products that use gelatin could be in bakings, medicines eg. gelatin capsule, gel-coat capsule, etc......

4. In Singapore and Malaysia, food products and medicines etc.....could have the LOGO HALAL on their packaging, which is certified by the Muslim Authority of Singapore and Malaysia.

4.  I ever saw logo Halal from countries like Thailand, Phillipines, Australia, China but not sure of other countries......

5. Whatever we eat and drink, will enter our body and become blood and flesh, so as Muslims we need to be careful and selective........

May Allah guide us, and make sure that whatever enter into our body are Halal and bless by Allah, Amiin.

<title>MARRIAGE AND CHOOSING A WIFE.</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=69691</link>
<pubDate>02-DEC-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "A man marries a woman for four reasons i.e. either for the sake of her wealth, her family chain, her charms or her love of religion. Try to marry one for the sake of her religiousness, and you will be blessed."
(Hadith - Bukhari and Muslim)

Note: The women who have morals are the best to marry.


On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah does not judge according to your bodies and appearances, but He scans your hearts and looks into your deeds."
(Hadith - Muslim)

<title>MARRIAGE AND UNDERSTANDING WOMEN.</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=66491</link>
<pubDate>26-NOV-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Below are Hadiths, and comments made by DR MUHAMMAD ALI AL-HASHIIMI, Riyadh-translated by Nasiruddin al-Khattab, 2205.

"No believing man should hate a believing woman. If he dislikes one her characteristics, there will be others that do please him."
(Hadith - Muslim)

The Prophet (s.a.w) explained that even if a husband dislikes his believing Muslim wife, she will still have some favourable characteristics which will please him, so he should not ignore the good side of her character and focus only on the negative aspects.

Words of Allah in Holy Quran (4:19),
" ......live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If you take a dislike to them it may be that you dislike a thing, and Allah brings about through it a great deal of good."

This aayah touches the heart of the true Muslim, so that his anger is soothed and his dislke towards his wife is lessened. In this way Islam protects the sacred marriage bond from being exposed to the danger of turbulent emotions and the folly of changing moods. When a man came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab and told him that he wanted to divorce his wife because he disliked her, 'Umar said, "Woe to you! Are families only built on love? Where is your consideration and care?"

The true Muslim cannot do other than obey his Lord; so he treats his wife well even if he dislikes her, because he understands the words of his wise Lord about the things that are hidden from him, and they are many. A man may dislike something and try to distance himself from it. A man may dislike something and try to distance himself from it, when in fact it is full of goodness and blessing. The true Muslim knows how to love and how to hate. Love is not blind for him, neither does he go to extremes of dislike and hatred, but in either case his attitude is moderate and balanced.

The Prophet(s.a.w) gave many recommendations concerning women, to the extent that he described the man who treats his wife well as being one of the best and among the elite of his ummah:

"The believer who has the most perfect faith is the one whose behaviour is best, and the best of you are the ones who are best to their women."
(Hadith )

Bismillaahir rahmaanir rahiim.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful.

ABOUT HYPOCRITES
Words of Allah in Holy Quran, (2:18),
Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path).

ABOUT DOUBT
Words of Allah in Holy Quran, (2:23),

ABOUT REJECT FAITH
Words of Allah in Holy Quran,
(2:24),
But if ye cannot-and of a surety ye cannot-then fear the Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones-which is prepared for those who reject Faith.

ABOUT TWO-FACED
The Prophet says:
"You will find among the worst people in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection, the one who is two-faced, who approaches some people in one way and others in another."
(Bukhari, Muslim)

ABOUT EVIL ACTION
The teaching of the Prophet,
"Whoever of you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand, and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue, and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart - and that is the weakest of faith."
(Hadith - Muslim)

ABOUT HYPOCRITES
Words of Allah in Holy Quran (2:15),
Allah will throw back their mockery on them, and give them rope in their trespasses; so they will wander like blind ones (to and fro).

<title>THE REWARD CALLING FOR GUIDANCE</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=52701</link>
<pubDate>08-NOV-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Bismillaahir rahmaanir rahiim.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

THE REWARD FOR CALLING FOR GUIDANCE.

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

"Anyone who calls (people) to a right guidance, he will be rewarded like the reward of all those who followed him, without depriving them any thing from their reward.

And anyone who calls (people) to an error, he will get of the sin, like the sins of those who followed him without decreasing any thing of their sins."

(Ibn Hibban, Sahih)(Muslim, Sahih)

Just a gentle reminder:
Just be careful when making statements, halal or haram.

Just be careful when making remarks, can or cannot, do or don't..........

Wallahu a'lam.
Allah knows best.

<title>FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT (BY REVERTS)</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=49691</link>
<pubDate>05-NOV-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

This blog is the continuation from my previous blogs, comments made by Reverts, which I extracted from a book..........

Comment made by Revert,
TABITHA DENCER
Some believe that Muslims are the enemy (even though they don't know why). When I read The Qur'an I was humbled. It was unlike any other book I have ever read. There is a ring of truth in every word.

Comment made by Revert,
SHAHEED (DAMIAN WILLIAMS)
There's no free ride in Islam. Everyone is responsible for his actions. Islam has the answer to racism, feminism, abortion, high murder rates and drug selling.
It shows human beings how to live their lives right.

Comment made by Revert,
H.F. FELLOW
No one persuaded me to become a Muslim. In Islam I found the answers to my doubts and it satisfied all my expectations. I could not find them in my earlier faith, I therefore became a Muslim willingly.

Comment made by Revert,
MUHAMMAD AMAN HOBOHM
Islam is rational, natural and appeals to the truth-seeker. The belief in one God frees us from superstition. It naturally leads to equality, for all have been created by the same God and are the servants of the same Lord.

Comment made by Revert,
KHADIJAH 'SUE' WATSON
Muslims do not pray to Muhammad (phuh). In fact, it is forbidden to pray to him. He is the final and last Prophet. There has been no prophet after him. He was sent as a Messenger to All Mankind, the earlier Prophets were sent as Messengers to particular communities.

Comment made by Revert,
DR INGRID MATTSON
The emphasis in Islam on responsibility (for choosing right over wrong) made a lot of sense to me - it didn't absolve people from responsibility for their actions. But when they embrace that responsibility, it gives them a sense of peace.

I testify that there is no God but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His messenger.

<title>PROPHET MUHAMMAD LAST SERMON</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=40291</link>
<pubDate>28-OCT-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Assalamualaikum,

PROPHET MUHAMMAD LAST SERMON.

About 1400 years ago, in his last sermon, Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) said:

"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over a white - except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not therefore do injustice to yourselves. Remember one day you will meet Allah and answer your deeds. So beware: Do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone."

Servant of Allah

Assalamualaikum,

Malaysian TV1 programme shows LIVE TELECAST of Tarawih Prayer in month of Ramadhan LIVE FROM MAKKAH.

Millions of Muslims doing their Umrah and Tarawih Prayer in month of Ramadhan in Makkah.

The quantity might be more compared with other months because of the rewards they expect from the Holy month of Ramadhan especially the last 10 days of Ramadhan.

The live telecast in Malaysian TV1 is Singapore and Malaysia time at about 1am or 1.30am.
May be the Indonesian muslims could also view from their country, if there is no problem.

Thank you to the Malaysian government and TV1 for the programme.

Happy Viewing!

<description><![CDATA[
To JEWSFORJESUS THE BLIND,

I don't really finish reading your blogs regarding about Islam and Prophet Muhammad our BELOVED PROPHET, because I don't want to vomit and sleep in front of my computer.......zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ

But for sure, that is your EVIL MOTIVES......and your EVIL intention.......

Whatever your efforts, your sweats, your spending, your salary or DIRTY MONEY for your story telling and LIES........you and your members are still the residents of the hells!......if you do not repent!

True Muslims will never influence by your BLINDNESS, STUPIDITY, IGNORANT, EGO, ARROGANT.........

ABOUT SATAN
Words of Allah in the Holy Quran (2:34),
When We ordered the angels, "Prostrate before Adam," they all prostrated except Ibless (Satan) who refused in his arrogance and became a disbeliever.

ABOUT THE HOLY QURAN
The Sayings of the Prophet,
Whoever makes a commentary on The Quran without knowledge, prepares for himself a place in the Fire.

ABOUT SATAN
Words of Allah in Holy Quran (5:91),
Satan's plan is to stir up enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants and gambling, hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and prayers. Will you then not abstain?

ABOUT JEWS AND CHRISTIANS QUARREL ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT.
Words of Allah in Holy Quran (2:113),
The Jews say:"The Christians have naught (to stand) upon; and the Christians say: "The Jews have naught (to stand upon)." Yet they (profess to) study the (same) Book. Like unto their word is what those say who know not; but Allah will judge between them in their quarrel on the Day of Judgement.

The Jews and Christians are friends in this world and ENEMIES in the Day of Judgement.

WE MUSLIMS TRUST ALLAH'S WORDS AND PROPHET MUHAMMAD TEACHINGS BUT NOT THE TEACHINGS OF THE BLINDS, STUPIDS AND IGNORANTS.......

The believers are like a body:
when one part suffers from illness, the rest of the body shares the suffering.

ABOUT FORGIVEN
The Sayings of the Prophet,
A prostitute passed by a dog, panting with its tongue out, on the top of a well, almost dying with thirst, so she took off her footwear, tied it with her headscarf and drew forth water for the dog; she was forgiven on account of this.

<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=16381</link>
<pubDate>26-SEP-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
To RWBISBAK and JEWSFORJESUS and members and company,

Don't try to be 'smart' to interpret the verses of the Quran.....You all never go to Madrasah (muslim religious school) who are you to interpret the verses of the Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad........

Who are you to educate the Muslims about Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.

ONLY THE MUSLIMS SCHOLARS OR THE ULAMA' are QUALIFIED to do the translations and the interpretations of the Quran and teachings of Prophet Muhammad.

It is better you and your members and company REFLECT YOUR OWN weaknesses, wickedness, ignorant, stupidity, foolishness, blindness........rather than to pick mistakes and find faults of Islam and muslims.......

Go and study your own MAN-MADE-CREATED BIBLE, full of contradictions, sexual fantasies, LIES........even the Bible could claimed the Prophets to have sexual fantasies and illegal sexual activities.......WHAT AN INSULT TO THE PROPHETS.......when the Quran and Allah and Prophet Muhammad praise all the Prophets and put them among the righteous people and the residents of the heavens.

The MANY LIES IN THE BIBLE putting INSULT to God, Jesus and other Prophets......that evil deeds of the Jews and Christians.

What is taught by God, the Jews and Christians don't follow, what is not taught that are what you all did........BLIND + FOOLISH + IGNORANT, please repent, before it's too late and don't let your foolishness and blindness ended you in the hell fire!!

To accuse Jesus to DIE AT THE CROSS (which is not taught by God) IS REALLY INSULTING JESUS......and to admit Jesus as son of God or God, IS REALLY FOOLISH AND BLIND AND IGNORANT......God never teach the Jews and Christians to follow such teachings and beliefs........

ONLY CRIMINALS are suitable to die at the cross. But to claim A GREAT PROPHET LIKE JESUS TO DIE AT THE CROSS IS REALLY AN INSULT TO THE PROPHET.......A DISGRACE AND SHAMEFUL WAY OF DIEING........which is not taught by God and Jesus........
Such beliefs show how foolish and ignorant are the Jews and the Christians.......making funs of God and His messenger and Prophets........

To corrupt and to alter the Bible, the Book of Revelation from God is really evil deeds......because playing a fool and making funs of God's Words.......

Don't try to compare the Quran and the MAN-MADE-CREATED BIBLE which has been corrupted and altered by men........

The Quran, the Words of Allah has never been changed or altered since the revelation and still in its original language in Arabic.
NO MUSLIMS dare to alter the Quran and any non-muslims who dare to alter the Quran, Allah is the Helper......it could be detected by true muslims.......

True Muslims, will never be influenced by your foolishness, ignorance, blindness and stupidity.......
You Jews and Christians, DON'T BE BLIND FOLLOWERS.......Have a nice day!!

I love Jesus our beloved PROPHET and I love Muhammad our beloved and LAST PROPHET.

ALLAH'S CREATIONS Vs HUMANS' CREATIONS.

Oh Allah! Thank for your sun.You brighten the whole world with only ONE SUN. Human need 5 lamps to brighten their ONE HOUSE.

Oh Allah! Thank you for your marvellous kidney. I could run with your kidney, I could jump with your kidney, I could climb with your kidney, I could swim with your kidney, I could do everything with your kidney......
But humans, could not run, jump,climb etc, etc......with their MAN-MADE kidney. What is the man-made kidney?..... Yes, the dialysis machine is the man-made kidney, all the wires around, all the tubings around,they could not jump, walk, run......with the man-made kidney. They need to wash their blood at least 3 times a week using the dialysis machine. But our blood is washed 24hrs, using Allah's kidney!!

Oh Allah! Thank you for the blood. Human could not make even one single blood cell, so they donate blood.

Oh Allah! Thank you for the hairs.
They grow on our heads, but human created hair cannot grow on our heads.

Oh Allah! Thank you for greeny plants and leaves. The plants and the leaves created by human do not have chlorophyll and can't do photosynthesis. Plants need carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, where as human need oxygen and give out carbon dioxide, Oh! what a good exchange of gases between human and plants......

Oh Allah! Thank you for your oxygen. Human could produce oxygen but could not create oxygen and oxygen atoms.

Oh Allah! Thank you for your fruits, rice, wheat, vegetables, etc, etc.......for us to survive in this world. Human cannot create all these marvellous things.

Oh Allah! Thank you for your seas and oceans. Thank you for all the fishes. Without seas and oceans, the fishes could not survive.

Oh Allah! Thank you for your colourful flowers, which make the world more interesting and colourful. The bees produce honey from flowers.

Oh Allah! Thank you for creating beautiful and handsome human beings, compared with robots created by humans, which look awful with wires and screws all over the robots......

Oh Allah! Thank you for the DNA, from the DNA coding, human able to identify their own identity.
They could detect the child of the father if the woman sleeps with many men. They could detect the criminals with the DNA.......

Oh Allah! Thank you for your water. Human cannot survive without water. Your rainfalls is also important for humans, plants and animals. Human could produce water, but could not create water!!

Oh Allah! Thank you for all the organs. Organs transplants are needed because humans could not create eyes, liver, heart, eye cornea, ears,hands, fingers, etc, etc.......Human created hands and legs, look awful with all the wires around.....

Oh Allah! Thank you for the wombs. Without the wombs, the women could not reproduce.

Oh Allah! Your knowledge, if compare to human knowledge is like one drop of water fall into the ocean!! That drop of water could resemble humans' knowledge. The ocean could resemble Allah's knowledge!!
Humans knowledge is limited!

Oh Allah! we are small, you are THE GREATEST.

Oh Allah! we are your creations and you are THE CREATOR.

Oh Allah! we are your servants and your slaves, you are the THE GOD OR LORD.

OH ALLAH! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!

ALHAMDULILLAH!! ALHAMDULILLAH!!
ALL PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!!!

<title>WHY THEY CHOOSE ISLAM ? BY REVERTS</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=15591</link>
<pubDate>19-SEP-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Assalamualaikum to all Muslims,

This blog is just the continuation of my previous blog.
Comments made by the Muslim Reverts why they choose Islam, which I extracted from a book....

The comments, made by Revert,
MALIK AL-SHABAZZ (MALCOLM X)
"If white Americans could accept the Oneness of God, then perhaps, they could accept the Oneness of Man-and cease to measure, hinder and harm others in terms of their differences in color."

The comments, made by Revert,
ABD-UL-WAAHID PATERSON
"In Islam we worship The Creator. Others worship stones, or men as incarnations of God. You should worship the One that created everything. Reading The Qur'an will cut down your journey in search of the truth about life."

The comments, made by Revert,
SIR JALALUDDIN LAUDER BRUNTON
"I looked into the life of Muhammad (pbuh) without the spectacles of bigotry and malice, and was impressed by his great achievements for humanity. Islam is the most powerful Total Abstinence Association in the world."

The comments, made by Revert,
AMINA (IRISH SISTER)
"What The Qur'an contains made sense to me. If you wish to take the right path, come to Islam - do not let ignorance or pride keep you away."

The comments, made by Revert,
SUMAYYAH BINT JOAN (ANGELENE McLAREN)
"A lot of stereotypes kept me from studying about Islam. Later, the more I learned about Islam, the more my head and heart told me that this was what I was looking for all along. The Qur'an and books by Abu Ameenah Philips had a major impact."

*******************************
I testify that there is no God but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.

Jesus also never teach the Jews and Christians to hate Islam, to kill the Muslims, to take other people's lands and properties, and to hate the Muslims and insult Prophet Muhammad......
Jesus never teach the Jews and Christians to be proud and arrogant and greedy!!
The actions and words of you all are insulting Christianity, the religion of the Jews, and Jesus.....

You are just making MOCKERY OR LAUGHTER of yourself in this website.......

Assalamualaikum to all Muslims,

BELOW ARE THE CONFESSIONS OR THE COMMENTS MADE BY THE MUSLIM REVERTS OR CONVERTS, ON WHY THEY CHOOSE ISLAM, WHICH I EXTRACTED FROM A BOOK.

The Confession or comment by revert, MAJIDA AMAL (GLORI)
"Those who have not read The Qur'an have no idea what Islam represents or what the teachings of Muhammad (phub) are. Unless we inform them, they will remain ignorant."

The Confession or comment by revert,YUSUF ISLAM (CAT STEVENS)
"I did not come into contact with any Muslim before I embraced Islam. I read the Qur'an first. Everthing made so much sense. The Qur'an asks you to reflect and reason, and not to worship the sun or moon but the One Who has created everthing."

The Confession or comment by revert, DR KHALID SHELDRIK
"I came to Islam after reading the books written against Islam. I felt that these writers feared the dynamism of Islam. They put it to utter disgrace because they feared it."

The Confession or comment by revert, SAIFUDDIN DIRK WALTER MOSIG,
"Islam is perfection. Compared to other scriptures, the Qur'an is like the Sun compared to a match. Anyone who reads the Word of Allah with a mind that is not completely closed to the Truth, will become a Muslim."

The Confession or comment by revert, BAHIYA MALIK (LUCY NORRIS)
"Because you cover yourself up you're not seen as a sex symbol, and because people can't judge you on your appearance, they have to judge you as a human being. That's quite liberating. You don't need anything else once you've found Islam."

The confession or comment by revert, AMINAH RIDDLE,
"I realized that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are continuations of one another. Islam encourages us to seek knowledge and submit fully to the Way of God to find eternal peace. Since becoming Muslim I have completed my Bachelor of Education."

Servant of ALLAH.

<title>CAN MUSLIMS BE ANTI-JESUS CHRIST?</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=13531</link>
<pubDate>02-SEP-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Assalamualaikum to all my Muslims brothers and sisters,

There are some people, especially the NON-MUSLIMS will ask could the Muslims be anti-Jesus Christ?

The answer is Muslims can never be anti-Jesus Christ. This is because one of the the articles of the Islamic faith is the belief in all the Prophets of God (Allah), including Jesus Christ who one in the long line of Prophets sent by Allah to guide man. Muslims believe Jesus Christ is a PROPHET AND MESSENGER OF ALLAH.

Jesus (Nabi Isa) is a MUSLIM, who pray like Muslims.
Even in the Bible state how Jesus and other Muslims Prophets prayed, like Muslims prayed,
Stated in the Bible,
"And he (Jesus) went a little further and FELL ON HIS FACE, AND PRAYED.....(Mattew 26:39)

"And Abraham (Nabi Ibrahim) FELL ON HIS FACE....." (Genesis 17:3)

"And they (Moses and Aaron)(Nabi Musa and Nabi Harun) FELL UPON THEIR FACES.....(Numbers 20:6)

and many more Muslims Prophet stated in the Bible who prayed like the Muslims did.......

The Islamic prayer, consists of four main postures, namely, standing, bowing, prostrating and sitting ( without the aid of chairs).

Muslims believe:
That Mary (Jesus' mother) was a chaste woman, "chosen above the women of all nations." (Holy Quran 3:42)

That Mary conceived Jesus miraculously (that is, without a male intervention).

That Jesus performed many miracles, through Allah's power endorsed on him, to help people and at the same time, to convince them that he was sent by God (Allah) to guide them.

Jesus performed miracles;
Made a bird out of clay,
Healed those born blind,
Healed the lepers, 
Gave life to the dead.

Every miracle Jesus Christ performed was done with the power of God (Allah), not his own. 

Jesus Christ himself admitted this in the Bible. He said:"I can of my own self do nothing......." (John 5:30)

Muslims believe that Jesus Christ performed all these miracles to help him in his mission as a PROPHET AND MESSENGER OF GOD (ALLAH).

Jesus Christ is NOT GOD OR SON OF GOD.

Allah mentions a number of Prophets, including Jesus in the Holy Quran, "And Zachariah (Nabi Zakariya) and John (Nabi Yahya)  and Jesus (Nabi Isa)......all among the righteous......and to all (Allah) gave favour above all nations." ( Holy Quran, 6:85-86)

After all, only a miracle could make a new-born child speak so rationally and with faith:

Remember when Allah said,"Jesus(Isa), son of Mary (Maryam),remember My blessing to You and to your mother when I reinforced you with the Purest Spirit so that you could speak to people in the cradle and when you were fully grown; and when I taught you the Book and Wisdom.....(Surah Al-Ma'idah:110)

I could continue writing about beloved Jesus (Nabi Isa) and his mother Mary (Maryam).......

I short, what I could say, Muslims believe in Jesus Christ (Nabi Isa) as one of their great PROPHETS AND MESSENGER and Muslims respect and love Jesus just as they respect and love Prophet Muhammad (The last Prophet and Messenger of Allah).

MUSLIMS CAN NEVER BE ANTI-JESUS CHRIST.

Servant of Allah.

<title>THE ENEMIES OF THE MUSLIMS</title>
<link>http://www.MuslimFriends.com/blog_messages?blog_id=28470</link>
<pubDate>20-JUL-06</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[
Assalamualaikum to my muslim brothers and sisters,

The enemies of the Muslims are also the enemies of Islam and Allah. The enemies of the muslims and Allah are the residents of the Hell Fire.

What the muslims suffering in this world because of the mischief of the enemies of Islam and muslims, is not so severe, compared what these enemies are going to SUFFER in the Hells Fire!
They are the friends of the Syaitan.

In Holy Quran, Allah said,
in Surah 5 (5:64),
The Jews say:"(Allah)'s hand is tied up". Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the (blasphemy) they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched: He giveth and spendeth (of His bounty) as He pleaseth. But the revelation that cometh to thee from Allah increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgement. Every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah doth extinguish it; but they (ever) strive to do mischief on earth. And Allah loveth not those who do mischief.

The above statements are Words of Allah from the Holy Quran about the evil deeds of the Jews. Their enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Judgement.

Come on, our beloved muslim brothers and sisters, lets we pray for our muslim brothers and sisters in the whole world from the evil deeds or mischief of the kafir or the unbelivers.

Muslims are recommended to do dua or supplication, what is stated in the Holy Quran. The Duas in the Holy Quran are the highest rank of duas.
Dua from Surah 2 (2:250);
"Our Lord! Pour out constancy on us and make our steps firm: Help us against those that reject faith." 

Above is the Dua or supplication from the Holy Quran for the Muslims to practise, to get help from Allah from evil deeds of the Kafir or the unbelivers.

Long Live Islam! and May Allah bless all the Muslims brothers and sisters regardless of where they live or located. May Allah help all the Muslims from the evil deeds or the mischief of the Kafir or the unbelivers and the enemies of the Muslims, Amiin.

ALLAH THE MOST COMPASSIONATE AND THE MOST MERCIFUL.
