Rapping (also known
as emceeing,[1]MCing,[1]spitting
(bars),[2] or rhyming[3])
refers to "spoken or chanted rhyming lyrics".[4] The
art form can be broken down into different components, as in the
book How to
Rap where it is separated into “content”,
“flow” (rhythmand rhyme), and
“delivery”.[5] Rapping
is distinct from spoken word
poetry in that it is performed in time to a

Renting A
Flatshare
Many people who enter into
a flatshare do so without really being clear on exactly what their
rights are. If you are considering signing up for a flatshare, the
most important thing to establish is whose name the flatshare
agreement is in and what kind of contract it is (for example, a
tenancy agreement). If your name is on the agreement then you have
access to all the rights in that agreement, if it is not – and you
have no other written proof of your agreement to live in the
property - then you have almost no rights at all.
Many landlords will want
flatshare tenants to sign a joint tenancy.
Essentially this means that all the tenants sign the same documents
and that each one is guaranteeing the obligations of the other
tenants. If one joint tenant doesn’t pay the rent then the other
tenants will be liable for it, and where there is damage to the
property, the deposits of all the joint tenants (which are held
together as one combined deposit) can be used to pay for
it.
If you are
subletting then it is essential that you find out
who the main landlord of the property is and establish that they
know about the subletting. In most cases, a tenancy agreement will
state that sub letting cannot take place, but this can be bypassed
where the landlord has given his or her consent. If you are
subletting without the landlord’s consent then you have very little
protection from being evicted, particularly if you have no signed
documentation.
Council
tax can be an issue where there is a flatshare, as the
tenants of a property are responsible for the council tax. If there
is a tenant who is entitled to council tax benefit, or is a
student, then there may be some sort of discount available, but
this will only usually apply to the person who is on benefits or in
receipt of council tax benefit and not to the rest of the
household. It is important to clarify this up front as council tax
can be a significant monthly expense.
When you are considering
entering into a flatshare, it’s key that you and your housemates
have an understanding on the day to day running of the flatshare.
Two key areas you may want to consider are:
1. Money.
It is important that everyone in the flatshare knows who is
responsible for paying what during the length of the flatshare
agreement. Whilst each tenant usually understands they are
responsible for paying their own rent, it is a good idea to agree
in advance how the other costs will be met. For example, will one
of each of the flatmates pay one of the electricity, gas and
council tax bills and then recoup the cost from the other
flatmates? Will you share the cost of basic supplies like milk and
bread? What happens if there is a breakage, do you expect the
person who broke the item to pay for it or will the cost be
shared?
2. House
rules. It might be exciting to be moving in with friends,
or with new acquaintances, but everyone is different and living
with other people can be challenging at the best of times. It is
important to establish in advance how everyone feels about issues
such as having girlfriends or boyfriends over, who does the
cleaning, whether smoking is allowed, whether anyone has a pet, how
all the housemates feel about parties, and whether are there any
rooms in the house that housemates need permission to go
into?
Where
issues arise between housemates it is usually in
the housemates interests to try and resolve the problem and stay
put until the end of the tenancy agreement. If one tenant leaves or
moves out unexpectedly then the other tenants will be responsible
for that tenant’s rent and the tenant who leaves will likely lose
their share of the security deposit. In some circumstances, a
landlord may be happy for a tenant who wants to leave to be
replaced by someone else. In this case an addendum to the tenancy
(an ‘add on’) will usually need to be signed to show that the new
tenant is now bound by the old tenancy agreement.

The Types of Heart
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent,
the Most Merciful
By Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
Just as the heart may be described in terms of being alive or
dead, it may also be regarded as belonging to one of three types;
these are the healthy heart, the dead heart, and the sick
heart.
The Healthy Heart
On the Day of Resurrection, only those who come to Allah with a
healthy heart will be saved. Allah says:
"The day on which neither wealth nor sons will be of any
use, except for whoever brings to Allah a sound heart.
(26:88-89)"
In defining the healthy heart, the following has been said: "It
is a heart cleansed from any passion that challenges what Allah
commands, or disputes what He forbids. It is free from any impulses
which contradict His good. As a result, it is safeguarded against
the worship of anything other than Him, and seeks the judgment of
no other except that of His Messenger . Its services are
exclusively reserved for Allah, willingly and lovingly, with total
reliance, relating all matters to Him, in fear, hope and sincere
dedication. When it loves, its love is in the way of Allah. If it
detests, it detests in the light of what He detests. When it gives,
it gives for Allah. If it withholds, it withholds for Allah.
Nevertheless, all this will not suffice for its salvation until it
is free from following, or taking as its guide, anyone other than
His Messenger ." A servant with a healthy heart must dedicate it to
its journey's end and not base his actions and speech on those of
any other person except Allah's Messenger . He must not give
precedence to any other faith or words or deeds over those of Allah
and His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Allah
says:
"Oh you who believe, do not put yourselves above Allah
and His Messenger, but fear Allah, for Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
(49:1)"
The Dead Heart
This is the opposite of the healthy heart. It does not know its
Lord and does not worship Him as He commands, in the way which He
likes, and with which He is pleased. It clings instead to its lusts
and desires, even if these are likely to incur Allah's displeasure
and wrath. It worships things other than Allah, and its loves and
its hatreds, and its giving and its withholding, arise from its
whims, which are of paramount importance to it and preferred above
the pleasure of Allah. Its whims are its imam. Its lust is its
guide. Its ignorance is its leader. Its crude impulses are its
impetus. It is immersed in its concern with worldly objectives. It
is drunk with its own fancies and its love for hasty, fleeting
pleasures. It is called to Allah and the akhira from a distance but
it does not respond to advice, and instead it follows any scheming,
cunning shayton. Life angers and pleases it, and passion makes it
deaf and blind (1) to anything except what is evil.
To associate and keep company with the owner of such a heart is
to tempt illness: living with him is like taking poison, and
befriending him means utter destruction.
The Sick Heart
This is a heart with life in it, as well as illness. The former
sustains it at one moment, the latter at another, and it follows
whichever one of the two manages to dominate it. It has love for
Allah, faith in Him, sincerity towards Him, and reliance upon Him,
and these are what give it life. It also has a craving for lust and
pleasure, and prefers them and strives to experience them. It is
full of self-admiration, which can lead to its own destruction. It
listens to two callers: one calling it to Allah and His Prophet and
the akhira; and the other calling it to the fleeting pleasures of
this world. It responds to whichever one of the two happens to have
most influence over it at the time.
The first heart is alive, submitted to Allah, humble, sensitive
and aware; the second is brittle and dead; the third wavers between
either its safety or its ruin.

Messenger of Allah said, "Your love for something that makes you

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN READING TRANSLATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL
WORDS ONLY, WHEN SEEKING INFORMATION FROM THE QURAN. IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO SEEK TRANSLATION OF WHOLE SENTENSENCES TO OBTAIN
CORRECT CONTEXT OF INFORMATION.
Three Types of Hearts
Ibn al-Qayyim
The heart is described, classified into three
types:
The First: The Correct and Sound
Heart.
This is the truthful and secure
(salīm) heart, the only type of heart
that its owner can bring to Allāh which will rescue him on the Day
of Judgement [from the Grievous Punishment]. Allāh, the Exalted
says,
The Day when neither wealth nor sons will avail, except
he who brings to Allāh a truthful and secure heart.[1]
The meaning
of salīm (secure)
is sālim (the one who is
secure), it has come in this form because it depicts an innate
attribute or description of the described. As such it is
grammatically like the words tall (tawīl) or
graceful and charming
(dharīf).
Therefore the one whose heart is described
as salīm is characterised so
because this attribute of truthfulness and security has become a
constant and established description of it. In this respect it is
like the terms, ‘the one who knows’
(‘alīm) and ‘the one who has power’
(qadīr). It is also the opposite of
diseased (marīd), sick
(saqīm) and ailing (‘alīl).
The statements of the people explaining the meaning of
the secure and truthful heart have differed. However they all
revolve around the [following] basic concept,
[The truthful and secure heart] is that which is secure
from every carnal desire that opposes the order and prohibition of
Allāh. It is secure from every doubt and uncertainty that would
obscure or go against His narrative. It is secure from displaying
servitude to any other than He just as it is secure from seeking
the ruling of other than His Messenger (peace be upon him).
Therefore it becomes secure through loving Allāh and seeking the
ruling of His Messenger. It becomes secure through showing Him
dread (khawf), reverential hope (rajā’),
placing its trust and reliance upon Him (tawakkul),
turning to Him in repentance (inābah),
humbling itself before Him (dhull), preferring what
Pleases Him in every circumstance and distancing itself from
everything that would Displease Him in every possible way. This is
the reality of servitude (‘ubūdiyyah)
which can only be directed to Allāh, Alone.
Therefore the truthful and secure heart is that heart
which is secure from committing any form
of shirk whatsoever and instead its servitude is
only directed to, and purely for Allāh, the Exalted. Its desire,
love, trust and reliance, repentance, humbleness, dread and
reverential hope is only for Allāh and its actions are purely for
His sake. Hence if it loves, it loves for the sake of Allāh; if it
hates, it hates for the sake of Allāh; if it gives, it gives for
the sake of Allāh; and if it withholds, it withholds for the sake
of Allāh.
But this alone does not suffice until the heart becomes
secure from submitting to, and going to anybody else but the
Messenger of Allāh (peace be upon him) for judgement. Therefore the
heart ties a firm bond with him (peace be upon him), resolving to
follow him and obey him alone in sayings and actions. These sayings
comprise the saying of the heart – which are the matters of belief,
and the sayings of the tongue – which conveys what the heart
contains. These actions comprise the actions of the heart – which
refer to its desire, love, dislike and other connected matters, and
the actions of the limbs.
Therefore the judge for all these matters – the major
and minor of them – is that which the Messenger (peace be upon him)
came with. Hence the heart does not put itself before him in any
matter related to belief, saying and action. Allāh, the Exalted
says,
O you who believe! Do not put yourself forward in front
of Allāh and His Messenger.[2]
meaning: do not speak [of a matter] until he has spoken
of it and do not act until he has commanded it.
Some of the Salaf said,
There is no action, even if it be small, except that two
records will be unfurled for it: why? and how?
meaning: why did you do it? How did you do
it?
The first question enquires about the cause, onset and
motive of the action. Was it done for some temporary, worldly gain
or for some worldly purpose such as attaining the praise of people?
Was it done for fear of the blame of people, to attain some worldly
desire, or to repress some worldly dislike? Or was the motivation
of this action the establishment of the rights of servitude [to
Allāh], the seeking of increasing ones love of and closeness to
Allāh, the Glorious and Exalted, and seeking the means of drawing
close (wasīlah) to Him?
The essence of this question is: was it upon you to
perform this action for the sake of your Master or did you perform
it for some personal gain or by way of following your base
desires?
The second question enquires about the following of the
Messenger (peace be upon him) in that action of worship. Meaning:
was that action you did from those actions which have been
legislated for you upon the tongue of the My Messenger or was it an
action that I did not legislate and was not pleased
with?
Therefore the first question concerns sincerity
(ikhlāş) and the second concerns following
(mutāba‘ah) for indeed Allāh does not accept any action
until both these pre-requisites are met.
The method of absolution from the first question is to
purify ones sincerity such that it is for Allāh Alone.
The method of absolution from the second question is to
actualise the following of the Messenger (peace be upon him) and by
securing the heart from any intent that would impair its sincerity
and any base desire that would impair its following.
This is the reality of the secure and truthful heart
from which ensues victory and bliss.
The Second: The Dead
Heart
This is the heart that contains no life. It does not
know its Lord and it does not worship Him by complying to His
command and doing that which He Loves and is Pleased with. Instead
it is a slave to its carnal desires, temptations and pleasures,
even if these lead to the Displeasure of its Lord and His Anger. As
long as it fulfils its cravings and attains its worldly desires, it
does not care if its Lord is Pleased or Displeased. Therefore it
worships other than Allāh. It directs its love, dread, reverential
hope, pleasure, displeasure, glorification and submission to other
than Him. If it loves, it loves for the sake of its base desires;
if it hates, it hates for the sake of its base desires; if it
gives, it gives for the sake of its base desires; if it withholds,
it withholds for the sake of its base desires. It gives preference
to its base desires and these are more beloved to it than the
Pleasure of its Master.
Base desires are its leader, carnal desires are its
commander, ignorance is its driving force, and negligence is the
vessel [upon which it travels]. It is completely engrossed in
contemplating how to attain its worldly desires. It is driven wild
by the intoxication of its base desires and love of the temporal
things. It hears the call to Allāh and the Abode of the Hereafter
from a distant place and does not respond to the sincere advisor.
It follows every cunning devil and the world is the cause of its
anger and the cause of its pleasure. Base desires make it deaf and
blind to anything other than falsehood. In this world it is like
that which is said concerning Laylā,
An enemy to whosoever she displays enmity
and at peace with those she likes
Whosoever she draws close to, he loves
and draws close to.
Mixing with the person who has this heart is a sickness,
interacting with him is poison and sitting with him is
destruction.
The Third: The Diseased
Heart
This is the heart that contains life but also possesses
a defect. It has two urges calling it, one leading it to life and
the other leading it to death and it follows whichever of the two
that predominates.
It contains love of Allāh, the Exalted, faith in Him,
sincerity to Him and trust and reliance upon him from those matters
that are essential to its life.
It also contains the love of its carnal desires, giving
preference to them and eagerness to attain them. It contains
jealousy, arrogance, self-amazement, and love of ranking and sowing
corruption in the land through attaining leadership from those
matters that necessarily lead to its destruction and
devastation.
It is constantly being tried by two callers, one calling
it to Allāh, His Messenger and the Abode of the Hereafter and the
other calling it to temporal, worldly matters. It responds to the
one that is closest and most predominant at that time.
Therefore the first type of heart is the living, humble,
soft, attentive and heedful heart.
The second type is the brittle, dry and dead
heart.
The third type is the diseased heart, either it is
closer to securing itself or it is closer to its
devastation
Allāh, the Glorious, has mentioned these types of the
hearts in His saying,
Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you
without Shayţān insinuating something into his recitation while he
was reciting. But Allāh revokes whatever Shayţān insinuates and the
Allāh confirms His Signs, Allāh is All-Knowing, All-Wise. That He
may make what Shayţān insinuates a trial for those in whose heart
is a disease and whose hearts are hardened. Indeed the wrongdoers
are entrenched in hostility. And that those who have been given
knowledge may know that it [the Qur’ān] is the truth from your
Lord, that they may believe therein and their hearts may submit to
it with humility. Indeed Allāh is the Guide of those who believe,
to the Straight Path.[3]
In these three verses, Allāh, the Glorious and Exalted,
has mentioned two types of hearts put to trial and one type that is
victorious. The two types of heart that are put to trial are the
diseased and the harsh and dry. The victorious heart is the heart
of the believer that is humble before its Lord, it is at rest and
satisfaction with Him, submissive and obedient to Him.
This is because it is desired from the heart and other
limbs that they be healthy and secure, having no defect so that
they can do that which agrees to their nature and the purpose for
which they were created. The hearts’ stepping outside the bounds of
steadfastness in obedience (istiqāmah) could either be due
to its dryness and harshness or the absence of doing that which is
desired of it [comprising the worship of its Lord]. In this respect
it is like the mute tongue or the eye that cannot see due to some
form of illness or defect that prevents the completion of these
actions and their occurring with firmness.
This is why the hearts have been classified into three
types:
1. The healthy, secure heart which
contains no impediment preventing it from accepting the truth,
loving it and giving it preference other than its coming to know of
it. Therefore its recognition of the truth is correct and it is
complete with respect to its submission and acceptance of
it.
2. The dead, harsh and dry heart that
does not accept the truth nor submit to it.
3. The diseased heart, when its
disease predominates than it joins the ranks of the dead and harsh
heart but if its soundness predominates it joins the ranks of the
truthful and secure heart.
Anything that is directed to the person by
Shaytān such as
his making him hear certain words, or suggests to the heart such as
suspicion and doubt act as a trial for the latter two types of
hearts and serve to further strengthen the living, truthful and
secure heart.
This is because the living heart rejects all of this,
dislikes it and hates it for it knows that the truth opposes it.
Therefore it submits to the truth, is satisfied with it and submits
to it. It knows the fallacy of that which Shaytān has directed to it and
therefore increases with respect to its certainty of the truth, its
love of it, its rejection of falsehood and its dislike of
it.
However the heart put to trial remains in doubt and
dispute concerning what was directed to it by Shaytān. The healthy, secure
heart, on the other hand, is not harmed by what Shaytān directs to
it.
Hudhyafah bin al-Yamān said that the Messenger of Allāh
(peace be upon him) said,
Trials and tribulation will be presented to the heart
[one after another] in the same way that the mat is knitted
together, reed by reed. Any heart that accepts them will have a
black spot form on it. Any heart that rejects them will have a
white spot put on it until the hearts end up being one of two
types: a black heart, murky and like an overturned vessel, it does
not know the good and does not reject the evil, [all it is seeks]
is that which its base desires seek; and a white heart which will
not be harmed by trials for as long as the heavens and the earth
remain.[4]
Hence he likened the appearance of trails to the heart
to knotting the reeds of a mat, one after the other.
He divided the hearts into two types based on how they
react to these trials:
1. A heart that accepts the trials
when presented to it in the same way that a sponge soaks in water.
Therefore it has a black spot form on it, and it will keep on
accepting these trials until it becomes totally black and inverted.
This is the meaning of his saying, “like an overturned vessel” i.e.
inverted. Then when it becomes black and inverted, it is subjugated
to the following two dangerous diseases that thrust it to
destruction:
a. Its confusion of the good and evil,
hence it does not know the good or reject the evil. It is also
possible that its disease lead him to believing the good to be evil
and the evil to be good, Sunnah to
be bid‘ah and bid‘ah to
beSunnah and truth to be falsehood and falsehood to
be truth.
b. Its giving precedence to its base
desires when seeking judgement rather than that which the Messenger
(peace be upon him) came with, its yielding to them and following
them.
2. A white heart that has been set
ablaze with the light of faith and its niche has been illuminated.
When a trial is presented to it, it rejects it and represses it and
hence its light, blaze and strength increase.
The trials that are presented to the hearts are the
causes of its disease. They are the trials of carnal desires and
doubts, the trials of aimless wandering and misguidance, the trials
of sins and innovations and the trials of oppression and
ignorance.
The first type [i.e. carnal desires] lead to the
corruption of desire and intent and the second type [i.e. doubts]
lead to the corruption of knowledge and belief.
The Companions (RAM) divided the hearts into four
categories as is authentically reported from Hudhayfah bin al-Yamān
that the hearts are of four types:
· The
heart that has solely been illuminated by a blazing torch and that
is the heart of the believer.
The heart that is encased and that is the heart of the
disbeliever.
The heart that is inverted and that is the heart of the
hypocrite – he knew and then rejected, he saw only to become
blind.
The heart that has two urges: an urge calling it to faith
and an urge calling it to hypocrisy. It belongs to the need that
predominates it.[5]
The meaning of his saying, ‘a heart that has solely…’
means a heart that has detached itself of everything besides Allāh
and His Messenger. Therefore it has separated and secured itself
from everything save the truth.
The meaning of his saying, ‘illuminated by a blazing
torch’ refers to the niche of faith. Therefore he indicated by his
words, ‘that has solely…’ that is secure from the false doubts and
misguiding carnal desires. He indicated by his words, ‘a blazing
torch’ that it was set ablaze and illuminated by the light of
knowledge and faith.
The ‘encased heart’ refers to the heart of the
disbeliever because it is immersed by a veil and covering and hence
the light of knowledge and faith cannot reach it. This is as Allāh
said, relating from the Jews that they said,
And they say: our hearts are wrapped.[6]
This veil is the covering that Allāh has placed on their
hearts by way of punishment for their rejecting the truth and being
too arrogant to accept it. Therefore it is a covering upon the
hearts, a seal for the ears and a blindness for the eyes. This is
the obscuring screen upon the eyes talked about in His
saying,
And when you recite the Qur’ān, We out between you and
those who believe not in the Hereafter, an obscuring screen. We
have put coverings over their hearts lest they should understand it
and deafness in their ears.[7]
When the people who have these types of hearts are
admonished to purify their Tawhīd and following
(ittibā‘), they turn on their heels and run!
The ‘inverted heart’ refers to the heart of the
hypocrite as Allāh, the Exalted says,
Then what is the matter with you that you are divided
into two parties regarding the hypocrites? Allāh has cast them back
[to disbelief] because of what they have earned.[8]
This means that he causes them to relapse and return to
the falsehood that they used to be in due to their earning their
invalid and false deeds.
These are the most evil of hearts and the vilest of them
for it believes falsehood to be the truth and shows love and
allegiance to those who follow it. It also believes the truth to be
falsehood and displays enmity to those who follow it. The Aid of
Allāh is sought!
The ‘heart that has two urges’ refers to the heart that
has not become established upon faith and neither has its torch
illuminated it because it has not devoted itself solely to the
truth that Allāh sent His Messenger with. Instead it contains some
faith and some of its opposite and hence it is closer to disbelief
than faith sometimes and at other times it is closer to faith than
disbelief. The heart follows whatever is predominating in
it.

Required is a lifestyle
change, for most; rebuilding life after major changes have taken
place and new awareness has come forth. Having been independent all
of life there is a level of dependency that is difficult to handle,
with the added level of vulnerability that comes with it. Was it
naive to think that sewing skills would never be

Could you limit the

STILL MY BABY
It was a day like today,
the snow had been freshly falling the nights before. We decided to
go out and make a snow man and play in the snow before it all
melted.
As people went by they
smiled and beeped their horns because it looked like great fun to
be playing in the snow.
There was no school that
day, as we had checked via the local radio station and it meant
some extra holidays.
Gloves, scarves and
jackets; and ear muffs too if you were prone to getting cold
ears.
We quickly bought a
disposable camera and took lots of pictures in the snow before it
melted. We had the pictures developed the same day because we could
not wait to see how they looked.
We planed to take more
pictures the next day and hoped that the snow had not melted by
then.

Life had taken a turn for the better, but at this moment such
conclusions were not evident. In order to avoid the inner city
traffic I decided to take the bus from outside my home to outside
the office. I had not planned for changing busses in the middle of
my journey and soon discovered the required bus in order to
complete my journey. I had waited rather a long time for the next
bus to arrive. It was the middle of the day and the bus service
somewhat deteriorated as the busy rush had passed. As I descended
from one bus, I began to board upon the arrival of the long awaited
bus.
During comments on blogs and my web sites it appeared that
people had become more aware. Much to my amazement adults women,
obviously not elderly women, but women of employable age that had
also awaited the arrival of the next bus had descended their
behaviour to that of meer animals. The orderly queue that had
previously formed had now become a rumble behind me and as I
approached to tap my bus pass onto the machine, the women behind me
began to push past me, to the extent they were attempting to push
my hand and bus pass out of the way to get onto the bus before me.
I had not experienced behaviour such as this In the past and was
much astounded, as the women walked past they called out' . As
always, upon awakening in the morning the first action of the day
would be to take a quick shower if one needs to be in time for a
meeting or to bathe if it will be more of a relaxed start to the
day. For a short bus ride, no extraneous activity was
required. It soon became evident that these women were commenting
out of jealousy. For so called city workers with increased levels
of pay with added London weighting costs their levels of
jealousy were surprising, and the levels of discontentment at
their own lives increasingly apparent.
There is so much
information that can be lost in the translation and other people's

THE GAME OF MEDIA
MARKETING.
Encourage, build up and
promote when they want something. Play down and discourage when it
is not of personal advantage. Selective display of items of
information for advantage. Seek and display and promote when
someone else has done something better. Bring in legislation to tax
any form of new business that may change the current state of
unfairness.
Increase numbers of
inaccurate supporters to promote inaccurate and biased
information.
Bring in corrupt police
and social workers, mental health assessors and politics to further
disrupt and support the level of inaccuracies.

In order to protect the privacy of the

TODAY, and for
years women that have been in abusive relationships are not aware
of the fact that they are in mentally abusive relationships. They
are taught to understand that, that behaviour is normal. They are
continuously programmed that way and it takes years for these women
to change their state of mind. These women tend to be from very
highly paid jobs and successful career positions, but a women that
has suffered mental abuse can range from any age, origin or
nationality.
Allah (swt) says, "O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and
the believers women, that they should cast their outer garments
(Jilbaabs) over thier persons (when in public): that is most
convenient , that they should be known (as such) and not
molested. And Allah is oft-Forgiving, most merciful." [EMQ
33:59]
Sometimes, do we forget that the world
is full of successful people, but which ones are there for you when
you needed them the most.
Sometimes there is a few

these days to tong them. I would say.
One day,

If Allah has given women this
right in islam, why
would you at least not try it.
If it means that you have to
change your life, then you need to question which parts of your
life are not halal and protect even your eyes and ears.
There is so much around you,
that is haram, that you are not aware of.
Ask Allah always to help you
with anything.
There is a knowledge that
women lack that prevents them from wearing these clothes.
Sometimes people try to peer at the women's eyes as they walk or
drive past in their cars. For this reason there is a hijab as in

A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT US.
One day can consist of telling your daughter that she can not
wear her tights with her dress in the freezing cold to find that a
grown adult is wearing his tights and ringing a bell. Just to be
told by your daughter that the adult is wearing his tights, in the
cold.

To walking home one evening after an Islamic lecture to walk
past a man stabbed, lying on the floor on the floor, knowing
that an ambulance has already been called and someone
is already putting pressure on the stab wound, to rush
home to tell your parents, only to be told now they wont let us go
out again.
One thing one does know is that god creates situations and
puts love in our hearts for others. A Muslim has always offered a
warm smile, and helped in some way or another, beat boxing and
wrapping is allowed. Not to say that all non Muslims are not, but
at least with Muslims there exists a book called the Quran and
although this may give cause to sound like a specific promotion it
cant be left unsaid simply for that reason.
So there are some things that one is sure that it is not
feasible to even contemplate such an idea whereas with other things
one falls in love again and again.
Unacceptable habits are hard to change and sometimes people just
misunderstand, there is no point in worrying about that which not
in our control but hope that we use that we have to best of our
ability.
I have had the luxury of having to work mostly with people
that I like and do jobs that I enjoy, which is not to say that I
have not worked so hard. Waking in the morning to put
electronically expressed milk in bottles, before everyone wakes, to
be interrupted in meetings because the obvious expressed bottles of
milk in the fridge can not be seen. Too embarrassed to tell a
friend that I had not actually just woken up at that time to feed
the baby but that I had not been sleeping for 24 hours most
days, sending emails and writing letters, opening mail in the
bathroom, while washing, breast feeding one baby while
feeding the other in a bouncer, because everyone else is too busy
doing little else to help. But because I love my children and
it is no effort and continue.
I know the au-pair can have what I have put in the bin
because god has given me more and she was polite enough to
ask.
What is upsetting is not that I can not have loved ones around
me, but when people do not treat my children with the same love and
care with which I loved and cared for them, to be told that because
people find it hard to believe I could have worked so hard, knowing
that the only reason that they continue with such actions is the
result of their own ignorance and the excuse with which
they wish to slow you down.
There is always a friend that will tell you that the reason
that people will not talk to you is because people are so
jealous and that Allah can see
everything.
Maybe the reason that you're friend from nursery believes you is
because she knows that you would never tell her a lie.
The reason that people tell you their story and secrets is
because they know you will not tell.
Children in third world countries that collect
waste paper from the streets, to sell, to stay
alive, live in unbelievable poor conditions, have such amazing
wonderful skin and the challenge in life that they are presented
with nothing compared to the morning traffic or the coffee machine
that did not work.
Money and wealth is not something that is advertised or
bragged about and is seen in different forms.
Later on in life I could see why people had the arrogance and
the snobbery with which they spoke, reasons which I could
not see before. It was due to the stereotypes these people
had, with which they were viewing the world and the fact that they
thought they had reached a place no one other could have, not
realising that that many others had done so before and much
many more were in a much better situation. The need to have to
explain in great detail by which I had not done so previously,
which lead to the misunderstandings of people.
I did ask Allah for proof and I saw it in many a form
ranging from the innocence of a child to the intricate
complex manner in which a person's mind can work to gain the
corruptions in life.
I found Allah and the ultimate truth of the Quran,
after having read thousands of books, to then discover that all
parallels cannot be made with logic.
I was annoyed because the boys had been drinking too much hot
chocolate from the machine, we were in Watford and they had
been taken to work on a Sunday, and I popped into a shop. she was
the owner of the firm of solicitors and for obvious reasons they
had made a connection. The solicitors were hiding obvious
information, their logic was making no sense and there had been no
justification to have solicitors out of residential location.
I asked the driver a week in advance if he would drop
me to the airport and he said that it would be no problem. He drove
the employees between the office and the car park that was
positioned a distance away. I reminded him again the morning
of the flight and he when I caught up with him he said he had been
waiting for half an hour. I had to finish off some work.
I arrived in plenty of time and I met my dad at the airport and we
flew to Pakistan. I could get away before and only had 11 days
worth of holidays. My sister had been previously and I had given
her a list. On the way back I was travelling alone and was dropped
of at the airport. My dad decided to slip this person at checkout a
few rupees and told him to make sure that I got on the right plane
back. This guy decided to use the rupees that my dad has given him
and a piece of his own initiative to get a tray with a brew of
tea , milk and a sugar pot. I had to tell him; look I do
not drink tea, or coffee and now he knows I am travelling
alone. It was really uncomfortable and I told him I cant give you
my number, eventually he left saying that I did not talk much and
I am not sure if he said some other comments too; thanks
to a few rupees.
When I was studying for my GCSE'S I found the standard of
education, of a some what compromising standard, so I went to a
private school based in central London to see how it compared
to the level of educations that I was receiving.
Obviously private education was a lot more advanced; the standard
of education given. I would have cherished the opportunity to have
studied in such an environment. I was given a tour of
this educational establishment and I was told that I would
very likely be asked to model for the arts class but not to
worry; as I would be paid. The cost of such an education is not
cheap and it is an opportunity to be cherished. I still continue to
live my life irrespective of meeting the values that
the judgement of others places upon it; of people that do not
really know me.
I come from a place that would be called underprivileged,
poverty stricken and deprived; I could not remember that last word,
but its never really been an obstacle, because I have never
let it become one. We would never
mention that to one another, though.
I used to go to the law school for fish and chips on a Friday,
it was just across the road from the place I was renting with my
sister.. We used to take our socks off and throw them under the
table we revised on and I wore hers the next day; she thought it
was funny. We argued, she thought I would cook for her daily,
so she locked herself in the bathroom and revised for her exam the
next day, as I was too sad to study; did not have an exam the next
day and I sat with her in hospital, and felt sick, when
she had an operatation when I should have been doing my
exams. The next day I need find a revision sheet, that had
been prepared earlier.
Workout in the gym and then in the pool as, the water
lifts the weight.
Do not eat from pans, once the non stick coating has worn away
as that causes cancer, even though your Analon pans turn up in
Dubai.
I was left all alone in a room to unpack a server all by myself
with just a manual and I was not scared at all.
I spoke to this women on the phone, she was finding it hard to
speak to me,but she was a councillor I could tell, she was a
lesbian, should I have been talking to her at all. I wanted to know
if certain things were acceptable. OMG that must have been how she
came to being a lesbian.
Its that time again when you decide to have a conversation wih
the lift, and when the doors open, theres a crowd quitely laughing
and your sister wants to say..., but she cant because your paying
for half, which is why she just rolls out the bed, through the
window and ends up in lectures.
Whats the first thing you do once you have checked in to your
hotel room, I am sure its not empty the mini bar and fill it with
kids things.
I saw a very clever boy walking to school with his mum laughing;
and a man so polite, mannered and humble.
I asked that I had just done
istakaharai, but I had not got the answear that I wanted, and that
how could I do istakhari and get the answear that I
wanted. She said that if I wanted to do whatever I wanted to
do, then what was the point of doing istakhari. So I explained that
I did want to do istakahara but to get the answear that I wanted.
The whole point of doing istakhara is that you ask Allah for
guidance and that the right path be made easy. The reason we ask
Allah is because he is the creator.
One day a group of kerb crawlers set up camp at the bottom of my
parents road and we wondered how long they would last in
neighbourhood such as this. My brother had gone off crying and they
didnt last long.
I remember sitting there late at night after having put the kids
to bed and totaling up all the recepts,, I slipped in the
macdonalds receipts too and the accountant had not found that too
amusing, when I told him it was business dinner meeting expenses.
Got some poiters from him and completed some of forms myself saved
a small fortune and brought a few essential fashion
items.
One of my friends dad worked for the council and another of my
friend worked in a lab, and they both said people just come up to
you and just ask you for things, are you serious, they were heading
to camden to get some jacket, I had lessons so I didnt go. Student
years would have to be the best years of your life, so enjoy them.
they just hold out their rist and say do this and why could you not
do this working for the council; what they dont even send an email!
yeah.
we dont walk around here, we always sent our brother to the
shops.
Some people are so
insecure, it doesnt matter what you laugh at they always think that
you are laughing at them.

I am not able to verify all the content
related to this article on yvonner ridley, so please read at your
best judgement and discretion.
Yvonne Ridley (born 23 April
1958, Stanley,
County Durham, England) is a British journalist, war
correspondent[1] and Respect
Party activist best known for her capture by
the Taliban and
subsequent conversion to Islam after release, her outspoken
opposition to Zionism, and her
criticism of Western media portrayals of the War on Terror.
Ridley currently works for Press TV,
the Iranian-funded English
language news channel.
She has also worked as a broadcaster, producer and presenter on
programmes for BBC TV and
radio, CNN, ITN and Carlton
TV travelling to Afghanistan, Iraq, Gaza and the West
Bank. A founder member of Women in Journalism, she was also a
promoter of women’s rights, although after she converted to Islam,
she publicly criticised some aspects of the 'sisterhood' promoted
by Western feminism.[3] She
is also a founder member of the Stop The War
Coalition and the respect political party.
In her spare time Ridley travels throughout the UK and across
the globe promoting peace and the anti-war
message.[citation
needed] She has also delivered lectures
on issues relating to Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Kashmir
and Uzbekistan, Women in Islam, the War on Terror and journalism at
universities across the US, Australia, South Africa and the Middle
East. Ridley is a founder member of the Friends of Islam, an All
Party Parliamentary Group and Women in Journalism. In addition she
is a member of the National
Union of Journalists, the International
Federation of Journalists, a founder of Women in Journalism,
and is also a member of the Society of
Authors. She has written two books called "In The Hands of the
Taliban"[4] and
"Ticket to Paradise" and is currently writing and researching for
two other titles including a biography of Osama bin Laden.
Ridley is a patron of the UK-based pressure groups Cageprisoners and
Hhugs. She also devotes much of her time to humanitarian work and
charities.[citation
needed]
Ridley has married twice.[5] Her
first husband was Daoud Zaaroura, a former Palestine
Liberation Organization officer. Zaaroura was a PLO
colonel when Ridley met him in Cyprus, where she was
working on an assignment for the Newcastle-based Sunday
Sun. They had one daughter called Daisy who was born in
1992. Her second husband was a detective with Northumbria
Police.[6]During
her time on the Sunday Sun newsdesk, she told colleagues she was an
officer in the Territorial Army, based on Teesside, specialising in
intelligence. She had also told the same to colleagues on the
Northern Echo.
[Yvonne Ridley came to
prominence on 28 September 2001, when she was captured by the
Taliban in Afghanistan whilst working
for the Sunday Express. Repeatedly refused an
entrance visa, she decided to follow the example of BBC
reporter John
Simpson, who had crossed the border anonymously in
a burqa.
Colleagues said Ridley responded to text messages from friends
until 26 September 2001, after having told them she would attempt
to cross the border from Pakistan into Afghanistan. It became clear
that she had been discovered without passport or visa, and was held
by the authorities after being arrested with her guides, the Afghan
refugee Nagibullah Muhmand and Pakistani Jan Ali, in a village in
the Dour
Daba district near the eastern city of Jalalabad in Nangahar, close to
the border with Pakistan. She was dressed like an Afghan, but it is
believed she was caught after attempting to take photographs, an
illegal activity under the Taliban. She was spotted two days later,
on 28 September, after slipping across the border by local people
who pointed her out to security forces, who took her to Jalalabad
for further investigation on possible espionage charges, that
carried the death penalty. Shortly before, the Taliban had asked
all foreigners to leave the country and had said they would not
issue visas to journalists. They threatened that anyone found using
a satellite phone would be executed.[7][8]
She would at least be prosecuted for entering the country
illegally, reported the Afghan Islamic Press agency, quoting the
Taliban's deputy foreign minister, Mullah
Abdur Rahman Zahid.[9]
Qudratullah Jamal, the Taliban's information minister,
expressed the suspicion that Ridley was possibly a member of a
military "special forces" unit like the British SAS.[9][10][11][12] It
was also suggested that she and other westerners could be kept by
the Taliban as hostages.[13]
The British high commissioner to Pakistan, Hilary Synnott,
met the Taliban-ambassador in Islamabad, Mullah
Abdul Salam Zaeef and opened negotiations intended at a
quick release of Ridley.[14][15][16] While
the press in Britain speculated about the reason of her arrest and
the seriousness of the suspicion,[17][18][19] she
was kept in solitary confinement for seven days and then moved to a
prison in Kabul.[20] In
the prison in Kabul she met the Christian missionary Heather Mercer,
who was also kept by the Taliban and was unaware of the latest
developments[21]
The same week British bombings on Afghan targets as part of
the Operation
Enduring Freedom began, while the whereabouts of Ridley
were unknown to the British authorities and it was feared that
these bombings would jeopardise her release.[22][23][24] Then
her release, ordered on 'humanitarian grounds' by
Taliban-leader Mullah Mohamed
Omar, was reported by Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef.[25][26][27][28] After
her release on 9 October 2001, when her Taliban captors escorted
her from the Kabul prison to a Pakistan border post at the foot of
the Khyber Pass, near
Peshawar, she revealed that she had kept a concealed diary inside a
box for a toothpaste tube and in the inside of a soap wrapper, and
had been on hunger strike throughout her captivity, but denied to
have been physically hurt in any way.[29][30][31][32][33][34]
After the release of Ridley, her guides Jan Ali and Nagibullah
Muhmand, as well as Basmena, the five-year-old daughter of the
latter, were kept by the Taliban in a prison in Kabul, according
toReporters
sans Frontières.[35][36]
According her own account after her release, during her
captivity she was asked by one of her captors to convert to Islam;
she refused, but gave her word she would read the Qur'an after her
release.
In freedom, she kept this promise, as she said partly to find
out why the Taliban treated women as they do.[37] She
said it changed her life.[38]
The Qur'an, she says describing the holy book of Islam, is a
"magna carta for
women".[39] She
converted to Islam in the summer of 2003, stating that her new
faith has helped put behind her broken marriages and a reputation
as the "Patsy
Stone of Fleet Street." When
comparing her treatment to female prisoners' held in American
custody, such as Aafia Siddiqui,
she said that in Taliban's custody she was given her full privacy
as a woman, and was handed the key to the door of her cell to lock
from the inside.[40] In
2004, she described her journey of faith for the BBC's religion
site (see A Muslim in the Family), as well as in other
publications and on other occasions in which she emerged as
a "fierce critic of the West".[41]
Ridley's memoir detailing the 11 days she was held
captive, In the Hands of the Taliban: Her Extraordinary
Story. Ticket to Paradise (Dandelion Books,
LLC 2003), a novel based on the backdrop of 9/11,[42] was
written before she converted to Islam; friends say it was never
published in the UK because she was too embarrassed by its risque
content.
In December 2001 she expressed worries that officers
from Mossad, the Israeli
secret service, or from other intelligence agencies were plotting
to have her killed, in an effort to boost public support for the
war in Afghanistan.[43][44]
She announced a return to Afghanistan,[45] which
she did with her daughter Daisy, who also had a great deal of media
attention during the captivity of her mother.[46]
2003 saw Yvonne Ridley employed by the Qatar-based media
organisation Al Jazeera, where, as
a senior editor, she helped launch the English language version of
their website. On 12 November of that year she was fired because Al
Jazeera found her "overly-vocal and argumentative style" was
incompatible with the station’s programme.[47] After
her departure from Qatar, she published an article about her
experiences there. Her dismissal was also attributed to her
campaigning for journalists' rights on the al-Jazeera English
channel and website.[48][49][50]
She won her case for unfair
dismissal against the organisation,[51] but
was asked to return in May 2006 when it lodged an appeal against
the Qatari court decision. Ridley won the appeal and the judge
ordered her original award be doubled. However Al Jazeera once
again lodged an appeal with the case going to the Supreme Court for
a final hearing. She won that case through lawyers Gebran Majdalany
in December 2007 and was awarded 100,000 Qatari riyals,
which equates to around £13,885, damages.[52][53]
She began presenting The Agenda With Yvonne
Ridley, the Islam Channel's
politics and current affairs show, in October 2005.[57] However,
the show and Ridley were axed from the channel after she refused to
shake the hand of a Saudi
prince at a post-Hajj feast.[citation
needed] The channel
blamed Ofcom for exerting
pressure, which that organisation denies. According to several
published reports, Saudi pressure was brought to bear upon the
channel head over the hand-shaking incident. The Islam Channel
maintains that Ridley "has not been sacked and is still working for
us."[58]However
in April 2008 Ridley won her case for unfair dismissal and sex
discrimination against Mohamed Ali
Harrath, the CEO of the Islam Channel as well as the channel.
The full 30-page report was published on the website Harrys
Place.[59][60][61][62]
Ridley works as a freelance journalist/presenter and for several
years, until 30 March 2013 regularly worked for Press
TV, the Iranian English language 24-hour news
channel,[63] hosting
many talk shows among them The Agenda[64] being
the major one. She also writes a column for the New
York-based Daily Muslims[65] and
other publications. In May 2008, in an assignment by Press TV, she
and the film-maker David Miller shot a documentary based on
Guantanamo Bay after being given unprecedented access to the now
defunct Camp X-Ray and the operational Camp Delta, by the US
military which operates the naval base in Cuba where hundreds of
men, defined as enemy combatants, have been detained since January
2002. Their film Guantanamo: Inside the Wire was nominated in the
2009 Roma TV Film Festival in Italy and in the Al Jazeera Film
Festival in Doha 2010. Another of her films, In Search of Prisoner
650 was also nominated in 2010 at the Al Jazeera Film Festival.
Since first August 2008, Yvonne Ridley has joined
the Free Gaza Movement[66] in
Cyprus as it heads for Gaza to challenge the Israeli siege. Press
TV is following the progress of the movement and Yvonne Ridley, who
will be on board with Indy film-maker Haq Nawaz, and is publishing
her blogs to Press TV's website.[67] The
SS Free Gaza and the SS Free Liberty both arrived without incident
in Gaza on 23 August. During their brief stay Prime Minister Ismael
Haniyeh gave a rare interview to Yvonne Ridley which was later
broadcast on Press TV. As the free Gaza Movement activists departed
four days later Gaza PM Haniyeh issued genuine Palestinian
passports with diplomatic status to the majority describing them as
Ambassadors for Palestine. The film To Gaza with Love by Nawaz and
Ridley has been shown in several film festivals and was nominated
for an award at a London film festival in 2009.
In November 2008 she and the young award-winning film maker and
journalist Hassan al Banna
Ghani headed for Afghanistan in the Spring of 2009 to
produce a documentary about female prisoners being held by the US.
In Search of Prisoner 650 which was broadcast by Press TV. During
the making of the film the two came under fire amid a clash between
the Taliban and Afghan police on the road to Ghazni. The drama was
filmed and used in their documentary.
In March 2009 Ridley and George Galloway,
then a respect mp, founded the organisation Viva
Palestina and took a convoy of more than 100 vehicles
bearing aid across North Africa to Gaza via the Rafah border. Again
collaborating with film-maker Ghani, Ridley made a documentary
about the 25-day journey called Three Uncles go to Gaza. The film
was highly acclaimed by critics at the Istanbul Human Rights film
festival in December 2009.
In a column by Dominic
Lawson in The Sunday
Times on 5 July 2009 Ridley along with other
journalists was accused of being a stooge for the Iranian
regime.[68]
In January 2011 Ridley made a 40 minute exclusive interview with
Mona Thwany, widow of the 2010
Stockholm suicide bomber. Swedish journalists were critical of
the interview, saying she asked very few critical
questions.[69] Ridley
said later, this was "sour grapes" as she was the only journalist
given access to the widow.
Her vocal support for causes involving Palestine,
Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Chechnya, Xinjiang and Uzbekistan have
made her a popular speaker in anti-war circles.[70] During
a February 2006 meeting at Imperial
College London[71] Ridley
described Israel as "that
disgusting little watchdog of America that is festering in the
Middle East" and further that her party, the Respect
Party, "is aZionist-free party ...
if there was any Zionism in the Respect Party they would be hunted
down and kicked out. We have no time for Zionists,"[72] while
both the Conservatives and Liberal
Democrats were "riddled with Zionists."[73][dead
link]
At the "Muslimer i Dialog" conference in Copenhagen in
September 2005, Ridley was asked if she didn't see it as a problem
that militant Islamists distribute
recruiting videos of Iraqi
insurgentskilling hostages. She replied that it was necessary
for Muslims to have these videos at home as an alternative form of
news to what she perceived as the propaganda of Western media. At
the same meeting she compared British Prime Minister Tony
Blair with Pol Pot. Since then
Ridley has said that the Danish record and translation of her
speech was incorrect.[74] She
returned to Copenhagen in May 2006 to take part in a conference
on Islamophobia and
was given a standing ovation after urging Muslims not to "kneel
before their enemies" or "kiss the hand that slaps
them."[75] Along
with former Australian Prime Minister Bob
Hawke and several other speakers including scholars and
politicians, the Copenhagen Declaration was formed and signed.
Critics have accused her of defending the late Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi and his campaign of violence in Iraq
and Jordan, describing the
victims of the 9 November 2005 Amman
bombings in Jordan, which saw 60 persons killed and 115
injured, as Iraqi collaborators, Saudi, Indonesian and Chinese
intelligence officers and the upper echelons of society. The
outpouring of public outrage manifested in spontaneous
demonstration she described as staged and the work of "Jordanian
troops out of uniform" and "government lackeys" together with
"Christian and Muslim Bedouins" who had all been commandeered or
paid to demonstrate by the Jordanian government and
the CIA. Al-Zarqawi was
denounced by his family after the bombings, a move that Ridley
thought "cowardly." She said of al-Zarqawi himself that she would
"rather put up with a brother like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi any day
than have a traitor or sell-out for a father, son or grandfather" –
a reference to the Jordanian royal family.[76]
At a meeting of the Respect party on 6 June 2006, following
the Forest
Gate raid, Ridley urged all Muslims in Britain to "boycott the
police and refuse to co-operate with them in any way, shape or form
until the boys are released," attacking Sami
Yusuf including "asking the community copper for
directions to passing the time of day with a beat officer." Her
comments were labelled as "sheer, undiluted madness" by Shadow Home
Secretary David
Davis, who added that "To not co-operate would be of no benefit
to the Muslim community; no benefit to the police; and no benefit
to the security of our country."[77][78][79] But
at the time George Galloway,
leader of the respect Coalition to which Ridley belongs also
distanced himself from her comments, saying "Our policy is not that
we should withdraw co-operation from the police."[80] The
two men were subsequently released without charge and an official
apology was later issued to the family by the Metropolitan Police
Force.
To start with, Ridley strongly opposed the Western intervention
in the 2011 Libyan
civil war, and spoke in a rally opposing it held in Central
London. However, after talking with Libyan friends who asked her to
"come and see for herself", she travelled to
rebel-held Benghazi where she
became a wholehearted supporter of the Libyan rebels' cause and
accepted that they had no choice by to ask for the Western powers'
help. This was expressed in an article entitled "I was
wrong to oppose military intervention in Libya – wrong, wrong,
wrong" ([3]) which she wrote in Benghazi on 30 April 2011.
In February 2012 she expressed her strong support for the end of
secret evidence used in the SIAC case against the controversial
Jordanian cleric, Abu Qatada, and her opposition to Theresa May's
plans to deport him on the basis of the secret evidence from the
UK. http://themuslim.ca/2012/02/17/british-justice-in-dock-over-abu-qatad

3002 times (he tried 3002, we tell

history) and failed, but only one way to get it

One day we decided to
take a family friend from Soutwoodford, to the Regents Park
Mosque with us for Eid and she had to wait in the toilets
with the others sisters in the same sitaution as
her. When we met up with her again she said that she had had a
great time and it had been such a greet laugh. Wait, thats not
the best part, we told her, waiting in the toilets is not
the best part of Eid, its the food and meeting all the other
friends and relatives and the clothes. we hoped one day we could
show a family friend what a great fun day Eid can
be.

AVOID YEARS
OF INACCURATE PROGRAMMING.
ISLAM
FAIR
RELIGION.
Is a fair religion and it does not mean
that people should be subjected to all forms of abuse irrespective
of what people do, be they family or friends.
If your parents or family or friends are
causing you harm or can cause you damage, not to cause them harm
its advisable to walk away.
If the only reason people try to keep in
contact with you is that they use the excuse of how you are to once
again pry into your life and cause you more harm then, its better
to walk away and say nothing to them.
Islam is not a religion to be taught
blindly to another solely for the reasons of the benefit of
another, without the other person educating itself.
I started to wear a scarf about
three years ago and the change in people's behaviour was horrific.
I was not sure at first if it was the scarf that had
caused this and soon learned that it was, but I will always be
grateful I know the truth.
I had my CV checked by a number of
people and as there was no fault to be found in it, there was no
real reason other than plain racism that caused people to behave in
the manner that they did.
Having been in a number of different
environments, it becomes very easy to detect people that are
genuine and people that are trying to take advantage of you. With
the extra guidance of the Quran it becomes even more clear so what
people intensions and motives are.
I have watched over a number of years how
women that wear the scarf are subjected to abuse, being shouted at
asked to do errands and jobs that require them to do
activities that compromise their belief system, and question their
temperament and knowledge for the sake of pleasing Allah but not
for the sake of being game for the people that do not have the same
values and morals.
I had promised to do a few favours for
some sisters and brothers and arrived a little late. I
was surprised to see a man standing there taking notes. I wondered
does he even have a clue as to why I am here, what I am doing and
who I have come to see. I wondered how much it was costing
the government to go to such lengths to prove that the action
of Muslim were acts of madness.
Technology will stop working all of a
sudden; people will speak to you in a derogatory
manner in seconds because of the strong stereo type they hold
of you. Then expect you to do things for free because of your good
nature, which is not what being a Muslim is.
A mehram, is a person
that protects his wife, can be a brother that protects
his sister, so that she is not subjected to such behaviour because
of the kind temperament that she has and is human after
all. A relationship is not to be so selfish or so unbalanced.
The women work together for a better life and do not compete
with one another for the attention of the man/husband.
It isnot
acceptable to use the values, and morals and virtues of Islam
to get what you want, to do harm, that defeats all object of
Islam and will therefore not work.
It is not acceptable to preach about
islam,and give islamic advice and live as a complete non muslim in
private and think that no one will notice.
Islamic schools are great at
teaching the really difficult things but they sometines lack in
conveying the really, really simple things.
Give halall earnings to your wife to
spend, so that the halall money can feed your
children.
I do believe that Muslim people are in
the UK, to teach the ways of ISLAM for non Muslims to practise
haram.

I can not

Ethnic
minorities pay a fee in order to come into the country unless they
are part of the European community and sign a declaration to say
that they will not claim benefits for the duration of the time they
are in the UK, and most arrive as a skilled labour
force.
The legal
professionals all drink in the same pub and therefore pass
information around freely, in order to prolong the case for as long
as possible and extract as much money as possible from the client
that they are representing.
This is
public funding money that the legals are taking for
themselves in the form of legal aid which is given to the
client as a loan but the government will not give people money to
set up their own business in the form of a
loan.
The polish
were invited to come to the UK, with the promise of jobs and were
able to claim benefits and make use of the council housing as
they were part of the EC. They have since found the land and
property in their own country to have shot up in cost along with
the cost of living.
The English
language has been known to be an incredibly cold language. Arabic
was chosen to be the language of the Quran, and if the Quran is not
read in Arabic then substantial amount of the meaning is lost, but
the surprisingly the English language has meant the use of two
contradicting terms in one sentence. there are two contradictions,
as there is no such thing as an Islamic law Society, as Islam
follows the law of Allah and the Law follows the law of the
land.
When the price
of gold was at it highest, there was realms of gold that were
found at other parts of the world and this information was
deliberately kept quite to keep the price of gold high. This may
not necessarily have been a bad thing, if you were at that moment
selling gold, but valuable information non the
less.
The centre in
Leyton, thought it brought me out of hypnosis today by counting to
10. I called on the office telephone line, and they offered to call
me back from a private number because the office number's phone
calls are recorded. Then a guy that works as a
psychiatrists/assessment member counted to 10 thinking he was
taking me out of hypnosis. It is a really sad state of affairs that
we have to live in today when people think that they are actually
able to do this, after he had the nerve to tell me that he was a
professional. I remember having spoken to a psychiatrist once and
he told me how women had been used to engage in sexual activity
without their awareness or knowledge of what they had been doing,
with so called professionals. Listening to the translation of the
Quran and following its teachings will avoid the hypnosis from
working.
The torah,
which is the Jewish holy book has instructed the women also to
cover their head and wear a scarf. Do they, no. Instead they shave
their heads and wear a wig, because they think they are so clever
and can trick god.
Can you
believe that when I searched for the particular job, that I used to
did, it came back with nothing found, yet the specialist
recruitment companies had no trouble.
Why is the
tabloid obsessed with gypsies again and again, is this another one
their strategies to undermine yet again another particular group of
people that have nothing to do with the group of people that they
are trying to associate them with.

Most
of Walthamstow is sick. It is one thing for people to behave a
certain way in younger teen years, but quite another for grown
adults to start shaking their heads from a distance whislt looking
at you. Comes to mind, concerns and one wounders what must have
possessed such this person and one may be inclined to walk over and
ask the individual that sits with friends; why he is shaking his
head in such this uncontrollable fashion,which you do not know and
have nevermet in your life before. Is it because he may have a
dysfunctional ego; possibly egotistical. Because; could it be he is
trying to show his friends that you have some inuendo with your
eyes and he is trying to show his frinds his disapproval as a
response. I am afraid the definition of egotistical has
changed as I was waiting for the web site to publish and it does
not mean a person that has a twisted view of the world but a person
that is so preconsumed of by its ego,that it controls most of its
actions. So then you decide not to waste your time with the small
minded egotistical amongst us.
It
can be used as a filler, between courseS. I THOUGHT THIS PLACE MAY
HAVE CHANGED AFTER ALL THOSE MANY YEARS. I would never have gone to
waltham forest collegue whilst I was living here before as it
always had such a bad repution. But as I had some spare time
between course I thought that I would try it.
its
so strange
there
are so many people eves dropping your conversation, the woman in
the computer lab will keep correcting the chairs near you just to
over hear the conversation.
The
security man deliberately keeps bumping into the girls, he walks
upto you, looks the other way and then walks straight into the
girls. When I mentioned it to a sister, she said he does that
all the time and he is a real pervert and no one tried to stop him
or complain about him. Problem is it is the only bit of excitement
that they have in their life and no respect for women.
This
man with a beard walked into the college for a meeting and asked me
the way to the room and this english boy jumped at him from the
other side of the room, graped his letter to read and said he would
take him. if this person had been asked to help he would have
ignored the request. These poeeople o out of their way to see what
the business of a muslim person is, and yet would not allow their
own business to be uncovered to read by a stanger in this
manner.
a number of thecanteen staff will just blatantly ignore the
muslim gilrs, eventhough there is a few pleasnt people
there.
todays lesson was particularly strange as there
is a black girl which causes no end of trouble and she was sat at
thr front facing the class. I didnt actually see her as I sat
behind someone elsa. but the rest of the students in the class told
me. Her colour is of significance because its as if the
collegue are goin out of their way to promote her. It wouldnt be a
problem, except for the fact that the first time I met here, she
walked into the class room late and hit me on the head with her
bag, crushed my fingers between the side of the chair and, and when
this guy next to me pulled out this chair to make space for me to
move m ychair along as he could see she being very disruptive, she
banged her chair into me again. I asked her if she would be descent
enough to wait as we were in the process of making space to move
the chairs. Then I was told by the other students that her
bahaviour had actually been like this for a while and they were all
finding it difficult to deal and work with her. Today there were
and were still waiting a number of people to complain about her.
She is deliberately being priveleges and being chanelled for a
specific reason, yet her bahaviour is so rude, she rarely talks to
anyone and sits alone. I did ask if she had a special need for
which she should be ignored for her bad behaviour, but was told
that there was no reason. Eventhough it is collegue policy to not
eat in the lesson she continues to do and even when asked
repeatedly to put her food away, it must have been about 7 times
she continues to eat in class.
I
would suspect that she has been havily abused sexually and the
collegue are trying to exploit this within her personality to thier
advantage by showing her favours that are not allowed to other
students. any student with such preferencial treatment in
comparison to other students in a class would be seen to excell
from it. Its possible she would have also been planted in
the class on purpose to
see how the other students respond to her irratic and irrational
behaviour, but then even the teacher in another class lost her
temper with her, so that would show that not to be the case.
If
anyone is late or is going to miss a lesson, they are being asked
to text the lecturer so that their every move can be tracked. There
is being used a systematic process of blackening a person's
character by using people in positions of authority that I come
across to label me with false accusations and labels, today I was
told that I should not get involved with someone that hit me on the
head with her handbag, it was a bit hard to avoid
really.
Its
obvious that the asian librarian is sleeping with a very large
number of the students, and as an adult he would be free to do as
he wishes but is it fair for him to then claim to be a muslim with
that conduct and then marry an innoscent genuine muslim girl and
then opress her and continue with his promiscious behaviour which
he has adapted from the collegue. There is a lot of promiscious
behaviour that can be seen in universities, but the students are
adults then, at this collegue location in specific, there is a lot
of very young children here and it just can not be appropriate for
the staff to be able to conduct themselves in this manner. Most
students have formed a relationship with another student by this
point and it works well for the students to be part of this unit
and as most people are quite deeply scared and anyone that has not
formed a relationship is picked up by the libraran and becomes as,
what is referred to as a term that is called the bitch. The problem
then arises when the female that has formed part of the
relationship and the bitches of the librarian realise, when
collegue comes to an end, that they had simply been used. therefore
marriage could be the only secure realistic relationship to
form.
It
cannot be acceptable for the collegue staff to sleep with it
students, especially following the incident that has occured with
the rescent teacher that ran away with his student.
Such
strange behaviour is a recipe for disaster trouble.
They
are actually getting together players for their entertainment,
thats what all this about.
Which
is why it would always have been a problem to work on the TV, due
to the actions of the free masons. It is not enough to simply
pretend and ignore that such actions and behaviour does
exist.

Suggestions from God - Salah tul
Istikhara
It takes years to perfect this prayer; but
offer what you can and ultimately it is up to Allah to accept and
guide.
"Istikhara" means to seek goodness from Allah (Exalted is He),
meaning when one intends to do an important task they do istikhara
before the task. The one who does the istikhara is as if they
request Allah Almighty that, O the Knower of Unseen (Exalted is He)
guide me if this task is better for me or not?
According to Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 21, Number 263: Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah :The Prophet
(Sallal Laho Alaihi Wasallam) used to teach us the way of doing
Istikhara, in all matters as he taught us the Suras of the Quran.
He said, "If anyone of you thinks of doing any job he should offer
a two Rakat prayer other than the compulsory ones and say (after
the prayer):
WAY TO PERFORM ISTIKHARA: First pray Two
Cycles (raka') of ritual Prayer (nafil) such that in the first
raka' after Surah Fatiha (Allhamd…) recite Surah al-Kafirun
(Chapter 109) and in the second raka' after Fatiha (Allhamd…)
recite Surah al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112). After finishing prayer recite
this (supplication/dua'): Dua in Arabic Text above.
TRANSLATION: "O Allah! I seek goodness
from Your Knowledge and with Your Power (and Might) I seek
strength, and I ask from You Your Great Blessings, because You have
the Power and I do not have the power. You Know everything and I do
not know, and You have knowledge of the unseen. Oh Allah! If in
Your Knowledge this action
------------------------------------------------ (which I intend to
do) is better for my religion and faith, for my life and end
[death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter then make it
destined for me and make it easy for me and then add blessings
[baraka'] in it, for me. O Allah! In Your Knowledge if this action
is bad for me, bad for my religion and faith, for my life and end
[death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter then turn it
away from me and turn me away from it and whatever is better for
me, ordain [destine] that for me and then make me satisfied with
it."
How many times?
It depends. Sometimes it takes only once to get the answer and
sometimes it takes longer. It is better to do istakhara seven (7)
times. If you have received an answer as explained in the section
below, stop doing istikhara. You do not have to continue to do
isitkhara for 7 days. It is better that right after reciting the
supplication, given above, sleep with ablution (people who cannot
keep the ablution for longer times due to health problems do not
have to worry about ablution before falling asleep) facing the
direction of the Qibla (facing the Qibla is not required but it is
a Sunnat of our beloved Prophet Peace Be Upon Him). It is better to
recite salutations (durood/ salawat) on the Prophet Allah's Grace
and Peace be upon him before and after the above Dua
(supplication).
Answer: If in the dream one sees whiteness
(means any thing white in color, for example: milk, white paper,
white sky, white clothes, white light etc.) or greenness (means any
thing green in color, for example: grass, plants, trees, green
clothes, green light etc.) then understand that this task is better
and if one sees redness (means any thing red in color, for example:
blood, red clothing, red fruit, red light etc.) or blackness (means
any thing black in color, for example: black water, black light,
black clothings, black sky, black wall etc. ) then understand it is
bad and avoid it.
If do not remember any dream or do not see any colors then
follow your heart. Whatever intention grows stronger in your heart
regarding your targated work follow it after seven days of
Istakhara.

step-by-step process is listed in the blue box below, and the du’a
you need to recite is highlighted in yellow. You can also

What is Salat ul Istikhara?
Source: Fiqh-us-Sunnah, volume 2, number 32 and
volume 4, number 141.
Often, we have to make major life-changing decisions: whether to
undertake a major project or not, whether to apply for a promotion
or not, whether to change career or not, whether to invest in a
certain company or not, whether to get married or not, whom to get
married to, etc.
Istikhara (Arabic) means to ask Allah to guide one
to the right thing concerning any affair in one’s life, especially
when one has to choose between
two permissible alternatives, e.g. a career
choice, getting married, etc. Similarly, a traveller should
consult good righteous persons before setting out on a journey,
because Allah says, “And consult them (O Prophet) in affairs
(of moment),” (Qur’an, 3: 159) and one of the characteristics
of the believers is that “they (conduct) their affairs by
mutual consultation” (Qur’an, 42: 38). Qatadah said, “Every
people who seek the pleasure of Allah and consult with one another
are guided to the best course in their affairs.” The traveller
should also make istikharah and seek guidance from Allah.
Sa’ d ibn Waqas reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him,
said, “Istikharah (seeking guidance from Allah) is one of the
distinct favors (of Allah) upon man, and a good fortune for the son
of Adam is to be pleased with the judgment of Allah. And a
misfortune of the son of Adam is his failure to make istikharah
(seeking Allah’s guidance), and a misfortune for the son of Adam is
his displeasure with the judgment of Allah.” Ibn Taimiyyah
said, “He who seeks guidance from the Creator and consults the
creatures will never regret it.”
How does one pray Salat ul Istikhara?
Salatul Istikharah is a sunnah of the Prophet
(s). It is a prayer that one may pray if one must
choose between permissible alternatives: it is two
non-obligatory rak’at (that can be recited separately or in
combination with the regular sunnah prayers or the prayer for
entering the mosque [...] during any time of the day or night, and
to recite therein whatever one wishes of the Qur’an after reciting
al-Fatihah. After the two-rak’ats, one praises Allah and sends
salutations to the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam and recites
the following supplication which has been recorded by al-Bukhari in
Jabir’s hadith (see full text below): “The Prophet
sallallahu alehi wasallam would teach us al-istikhara for all of
our affairs as he would teach us a surah from the Qur’an. He said:
‘If one of you is deliberating over an act, he should pray two
non-obligatory rak’at and say:“O Allah, I consult You as
You are All-Knowing and I appeal to You to give me power as You are
Omnipotent, I ask You for Your great favor, for You have power and
I do not, and You know all of the hidden matters . O Allah ! If you
know that this matter (then the person reciting the
du’a should mention the matter for which he is seeking Allah’s
Guidance) is good for me in my religion, my
livelihood, and for my life in the Hereafter, (or he said: ‘for my
present and future life,’) then make it (easy) for me. And if you
know that this matter is not good for me in my religion, my
livelihood and my life in the Hereafter, (or he said: ‘for my
present and future life,’) then keep it away from me and take me
away from it and choose what is good for me wherever it is and
please me with it.”
The following hadith (referred above in Fiqh-us-Sunnah) is
narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah about Salat-ul-Istikhara in Sahih
Bukhari (volume 2, hadith number 263 and again volume 9, hadith
487):
The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to teach us the way of
doing Istikhara (Istikhara means to ask Allah to guide one to the
right sort of action concerning any job or a deed), in all matters
as he taught us the Suras of the Quran. He said, “If anyone of
you thinks of doing any job he should offer a two Rakat prayer
other than the compulsory ones and say (after the
prayer): ‘Allahumma inni astakhiruka
bi’ilmika, Wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, Wa asaluka min fadlika
al-’azim Fa-innaka taqdiru Wala aqdiru, Wa ta’lamu Wala a’lamu, Wa
anta ‘allamu l-ghuyub. Allahumma, in kunta ta’lam anna
hadha-l-amra (then the person reciting the
du’a should mention the matter for which he is seeking Allah’s
Guidance) Khairun li fi dini wa
ma’ashi wa’aqibati amri (or ‘ajili
amri wa’ajilihi) Faqdirhu li wa yas-sirhu li thumma barik li Fihi,
Wa in kunta ta’lamu anna hadha-lamra shar-run li fi dini wa ma’ashi
wa’aqibati amri (or fi’ajili amri wa
ajilihi) Fasrifhu anni was-rifni anhu. Waqdir li al-khaira haithu
kana Thumma ardini bihi.‘

dua at the end of this post.
Similar hadiths were reported by Jabir (r) in Sahih Bukhari
(volume 8, hadith number 391).
Note from Rafik Beekun: If you have trouble with the arabic
version of the dua for Istikhara, here is a dua video where the dua
is being recited in arabic. Both the arabic version of the
du’a, its english transliteration, and translation are included.
Please use it to practice reciting the dua correctly before praying
Salat Istihara:
To summarize, here is
how you pray Salat-ul-Istikhara step-by step:
Perform Wudu (the ablution) if you do not have it already.
Pray 2 raka’at either with the intention of praying Istikhara
separately by itself or jointly with two non-obligatory
rak’at (e.g. the regular sunnah prayers or the prayer for entering
the mosque, or tahajjud.) Please make sure that you are
not praying during the three times when it is undesirable to
pray [The Prophet (s) said: “There is no
prayer after the Fajr until the sun (sufficiently) rises; and there
is no prayer after the ‘Asr until the sun completely sets.”
[Muslim, 1041, agreed upon]. Again, in another hadith
reported in Muslim 1040, it is narrated: “ Three were the times at
while Allah’s Messenger ( ) forbade us from praying or burying our
dead (ie. funeral prayer): when the sun begins to rise until it is
fully up; when the sun is at its height until it passes the
meridian; and when the sun begins to set until it is completely
set. [Muslim, 1040]” Please note if istikhaarah is
done for something that is immediate and cannot be delayed, then
this prayer may be performed at a time when prayer is not allowed,
such as if a person wants to travel after âAsr prayer. But if the
matter is not immediate and the prayer can be delayed until after
the time (see fatwah below)
Immediately after you have completed the 2 rakats, recite the
abovementioned Istikhara Dua highlighted in yellow and mention the
matter for which you are seeking Allah’s Guidance you have at the
appropriate point in the du’a (indicated in red in the du’a
above and also indicated in the video clips
above).
Follow An Nawawi’s advice on how to interpret Allah’s guidance
(please see section below).
An-Nawawi holds that “after performing the istikharah,
a person must do what he iswholeheartedly inclined to do
and feels good about doing and should not insist on
doing what he had desired to do before making the istikharah.
And if his feelings change, he should leave
what he had intended to do, otherwise he is not completely leaving
the choice to Allah, and would not be honest in seeking aid from
Allah’s power and knowledge. Sincerity in seeking Allah’s choice,
means that one should completely leave what he himself had desired
or determined.” [Note from Br. Rafik Beekun:
Please view the video on "Istikhara and Marriage" at the bottom of
this web page where the Sheikh elaborates on the different ways in
which your prayer will be answered, Insha Allah}
It is not necessary that you get a dream or even a "feeling."
Rather, the istikhara is a prayer that Allah guide you towards that
which is best (khayr) for you. If you do the prayer of guidance
(istikhara) with the proper manners, the most important of which is
to truly consign the matter to Allah and suspend your own
inclinations, then Allah will make events unfold in the direction
that is the best for your worldly and next-worldly affairs.
Please remember that the core of being a Muslim is to put your
absolute trust in Allah. Accordingly, once you perform the
prayer of Istikharak, you need to follow the guidance of Allah
whether it means pursuing or abandoning the intended undertaking.
Allah also says:
"And He provides for him from (sources) he never could
imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is
((Allah)) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose:
verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion."
(Qur'an 65:3)

This 39 minute lecture is by Imam AbdulBary Yahya. He was born
in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and very soon thereafter
immigrated to the U.S. with his family. He grew up in Seattle, WA
and after completing his primary and secondary education there,
began his studies at the Islamic University of Madinah. It was at
the University that he befriended Muhammad Alshareef, as they sat
next to each other in the first year of their studies.
Upon graduation from the Islamic University of Madinah’s College
of Shariah, AbdulBary Yahya returned to Vietnam and Cambodia and
became a teacher and director of the Revival of Islamic Heritage
Society in Cambodia and the Umm al-Qura Charity Organization in
Vietnam.
He presently resides in Seattle, WA with his family, and is an
instructor with AlMaghrib Institute, an organization that provides
trademark double-weekend seminars leading students towards a
bachelor’s degree in Islamic Studies. He is currently the Imam
(spiritual leader and adviser) of Masjid Jaamiul Muslimeen in
Seattle, WA. He also holds the positions of President of the Cham
Refugee Community and Vice-President of the Islamic Center of
Washington State.
Common Questions and Answers about Istikhara
All answers are from the scholars at Islamonline.com
1. What matters can one seek
guidance from Istikhara and what matters are best dealt with the
use of the intellect and not Istikhara?
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not correct to divide matters, when deciding whether it is
permissible to pray istikhaarah regarding them, into the two
categories of matters which are subject to rational thinking, in
which one should not pray istikhaarah, and matters that are not
subject to rational thinking, concerning which one may pray
istikhaarah.
Rather what is prescribed in all cases – both major and minor –
is to use one’s intellect and wisdom, and to study the options and
available means. If a person is hesitant about some matter or it is
not clear which choice is the correct choice on the basis of shari
evidence, if it is a shari matter, or the basis of rational proof
or proof based on experience, and so on, according to the nature of
the matter in question – if he is uncertain and it is not clear
based on whatever evidence is appropriate in that case, then he
should delegate his affairs to Allah, asking Him for guidance and
declaring his helplessness before Him, and pray istikhaarah, which
is a supplication to Allah, asking Him for guidance and success
after examining the available options on a rational basis.
2. Can istikhaarah prayer be performed at the time
when prayer is not allowed?
[Previously], we have stated the times at which the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade prayer.
What is meant by this forbidding is general naafil prayers for
which there is no reason. As for naafil prayers for which there is
a reason, such as greeting the mosque, they may be offered at these
times when prayer is not allowed.
The scholars differed concerning istikhaarah prayer and whether
it is regarded as a prayer for which there is a reason, or not.
The correct view is that if istikhaarah is done for something
that is immediate and cannot be delayed, then this prayer may be
performed at a time when prayer is not allowed, such as if a person
wants to travel after âAsr prayer. But if the matter is not
immediate and the prayer can be delayed until after the time when
prayer is not allowed is over, then it should not be performed at
that time.
3. What are common misconceptions about Salat
Istikhara?
Misconception #1:
Some people think that the istikhârah prayer is only prescribed
when a person has to decide between two options. People arrive at
this misunderstanding since the word “istikhârah” literally means
“to seek (someone else’s) decision on a matter”. Some people jump
to the conclusion that this means that they must be in a situation
where they have to decide between two things.
However, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said we should offer
the istikhârah prayer whenever we are thinking about embarking upon
something. He said: “When one of you thinks to embark upon
something, he should offer two units of prayer other the obligatory
prayer” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî]
He did not say: “Whenever you are wavering between two
options ”
Therefore, the istikhârah prayer is prescribed for us whenever
we have a concern to embark upon a course of action but have not
yet developed a firm and unwavering resolve to do so. Even if it is
a single course of action with no alternative option open to us, we
still have the choice between undertaking that course of action or
not undertaking it. We should offer the istikhârah prayer.
On the other hand, if there are multiple options open to us, we
should first consult with knowledgeable people we trust as to which
course of action is best for us. Then we should pinpoint the course
that appears to be the best to us and offer the istikhârah prayer
about that choice, seeking Allah’s decision on the matter.
Misconception #2:
Some people think that the istikhârah prayer is prescribed only
for a limit set of actions, like marriage and travel. Others feel
that the prayer is only for actions of paramount importance, and
not for everyday decisions. Both of these ideas are wrong. This
misconception leads people to avoid praying the istikhârah prayer
on many occasions where it would benefit them to do so. The prayer
is prescribed for all of our decisions.
The narrator of the hadîth tells us: “He used to teach us the
istikhârah prayer for all of our concerns ” This is general for all
decisions, major and minor.
Misconception #3:
There is an idea that the istikhârah prayer requires the
offering of two units of formal prayer exclusively with the
intention istikhârah. This is really not a misconception, since
there is legitimate scholarly disagreement on this issue.
Nevertheless, I would still strongly argue that such a restriction
is incorrect, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “ offer
two units of prayer other than the obligatory prayer.” This is
general for all non-obligatory prayers, including the two-units we
observe upon entering the mosque or after performing ablutions, and
the two-unit Sunnah prayers we offer along with our obligatory
prayers.
This means that we can beseech Allah with the istikhârah
supplication after any two-unit voluntary prayer we make, whatever
our initial intention was to offer that two-unit prayer. In this
way, we can get the benefit of two acts of worship together, by
intending a certain voluntary prayer and then offering the
istikhârah supplication after it.
Misconception #4:
Some people assume that it is essential to experience some sort
of resolve in the heart after performing the istikhârah prayer.
There is no evidence to support this assumption. In fact, the
istikhârah supplication belies this idea:
O Allah! I seek Your decision through Your knowledge and your
facilitation through your power and I ask You of Your tremendous
grace. For indeed, You are capable while I am not, and You know
while I know not, and You are the Knower of the Unseen. O Allah! If
you know this affair to be best for me in my religion, my
livelihood, and in the final outcome (or: in my immediate life and
my future one), then decree it for me and facilitate it for me and
then bless me in it. And if You know this affair to be worse for me
in my religion, my livelihood, and in the final outcome (or: in my
immediate life and my future one), then turn it away from me and
turn me away from it and decree for me what is good, wherever it
may be, and then cause me to be contented with it.
If we consider what we are asking Allah in our istikhârah
supplication, we are really leaving the decision in His hands.
Whether or not we feel comfortable or happy with the course of
action, we are asking Allah to bring it about for us if He knows it
to be best for us and to keep it away from us if He knows it to be
in our best interests not to be involved in it.
Allah says: “It is possible that you dislike a thing that is
good for you, and that you love a thing that is bad for you. But
Allah knows, and you know not. ” [Sûrah al-Baqarah: 216]
The assumption that some people have that the istikhârah prayer
is supposed to manifest a sign or resolve in our hearts about the
course of action has led to no end of confusion. They repeat their
istikhârah prayers over and over again waiting to experience this
resolve. When they do not experience it, their sense of confusion
only increases. This is unfortunate, since the istikhârah prayer is
supposed to help us shrug off our confusion by putting the matter
in Allah’s hands.

If you have questions about Salat Istikhara, its applicability

excellent because you can ask some of the leading scholars in the
Islamic world a specific question about your situation if you do
not find an answer in their fatwa bank.
Another link that I have found useful in terms of interpretation
and etiquette of Salat Istikhara isthis one from Sunnah Path. Here is some
additional information which I gleaned from the Sunnah Path
website:
In general, when it is not possible to perform the istikhara
prayer itself (such as when one is out on the road, or in one’s
menstrual period), it is recommended to simply read the dua itself.

Traduction francaise du Dua pour la Salate
ul Istikahara ou La Priere de Consultation
Traduction francaise de la priere istikara (la
priere de la consultation ou demande du meilleur parti à
prendre). D’abord, voici le Hadith Sahih rapporté par l’Imam
Bokhari:
Selon Jaber Ben Abdallah (raa):
Le Prophète (saw) nous enseignait à demander l’inspiration à
Dieu comme il nous enseignait les sourates du Coran. Il nous disait
: Lorsque l’un de vous veut décider d’une chose qu’il fasse deux
rakaates en dehors de la prière canonique puis qu’il dise
“O Seigneur je te demande en vertu de Ta Science de choisir
pour moi la meilleure solution. je te demande de me l’accorder en
vertu de Ta Prédestination, et je te demande de me faire bénéficier
de Tes faveurs immenses, car Tu as la Puissance et j’en suis
dépourvu, Tu es Celui qui Sait et je suis ignorant(e), et Toi seul
connais le non-manifesté. O Seigneur si Tu sais que cette affaire
m’est profitable pour ma vie en ce monde, pour ma religion ainsi
que pour mes fins dernières (ou encor pour mon avenir immédiat ou
lointain), destine la moi, rend la moi accessible et bénis la moi,
mais si Tu sais que cette affaire m’est néfaste, tant pour ma
religion que pour ma vie en ce monde et pour mes fins dernières,
éloigne la de moi et éloigne moi d’elle, puis destine moi le bien
où qu’il se trouve et rend moi satisfait(e) d’en avoir
bénéficié”
Ensuite, qu’il indique son affaire.

at-Tarmidhi, an-Nassaï, Abou Dawoud, Ibn Madja et Ahmad]
Salate Istikhara (la prière de la consultation) est constituée
de 2 raq’at, c’est à dire deux unités de prières, c’est la même que
Salate el Fajar, la prière de l’aube.
Beaucoup ne la font que pour les grandes decisions, avant de
prendre la decision de se marier par exemple, mais c’est une prière
que tu peux faire pour n’importe quelle decision, que ce soit pour
un voyage, un investissement, un travail… pour tout…
Il ne semble pas qu’il y ait un moment precis dans la journée
pour la faire; le meilleur moment pour faire des prières
surérogatoires, pour faire des Doh’as c’est la nuit, plus
précisément le dernier tièrs de la nuit. Muhammad Al-Arifi : La Prière de Consultation / Salat

Salat-ul-Istikara en Espanol
Jabir -r.a.- quien era uno de los compañeros del Profeta
Muhammad (saws), narró:“El Mensajero de Allah (saws) solía
enseñarnos el Istikhara en todos los asuntos, igual que nos
enseñaba una Sura (versículo) del Corán. Él solía decir: Si alguno
de vosotros tiene un asunto importante que dilucidar, que haga dos
rakas (unidades) voluntarios, que no sean de las obligatorias, a
cualquier hora del día o de la noche y luego suplicad: Allahumma
inní astakhíruka bi-ilmik, wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratik, wa asaluka
min fadlika al-adhím, fa-innaka taqdir wa la aqdir, wa taalamu wa
la aalam, wa Anta allámul-quiúb. Allahumma in kunta taalamu anna

solicita la guía) khairun li fi Diní wa maashí wa áqibati amrí,
faqdurhu li wa iassirhu li, zumma bárik li fíhi. Wa in kunta
taalamu anna hadha al-amra (aqui la persona menciona el asunto por
el cual se solicita la guía) sharrun li fi Diní wa maashí wa
áqibati amrí, fasrifhu anní wasrifní anhu, waqdur li al-khaira
haizu kana, zumma arddini bihi.(¡Oh Allah! Te pido que escojas lo
mejor para mí, por Tu conocimiento de ello. Y por Tu poder te pido
que me capacites para la elección. Y así te pido de Tu inmenso
favor. Porque Tú puedes y yo no puedo. Tú sabes y yo no sé. Y Tú
eres el conocedor de todo lo oculto. ¡Oh Allah! Si sabes que este
asunto (aqui la persona menciona el asunto por el cual se solicita
la guía) es bueno para mí, tanto en mi religión como en mi vida y
su objetivo final es sano, decrétalo para mí y facilítamelo.
Después, bendíceme en él. Y si sabes que este asunto (aqui la
persona menciona el asunto por el cual se solicita la guía) es malo
para mí, tanto en mi religión como en mi vida y su objetivo final
no es sano, apártalo de mí y apártame de él. Y decreta el bien para
mí dondequiera que esté. Después, déjame satisfecho con el asunto
decretado”.Habiendo solicitado la guía de Allah como lo antecedido,
entonces la persona prosigue sus asuntos cotidianos y espera por la
debida respuesta de Allah. Ésta se pude manifestar en la persona
mediante la seguridad o más indecisión que se sienta en el corazón
respecto al asunto.Así que cuando sientas en tu corazón una
sensación de vigor, optimismo o confianza respecto al asunto en
cuestión, debes interpretar esto como una respuesta positiva de
Allah (SWT) y en adelante se debería proceder consecuentemente con
el asunto en cuestión. Por otro lado, si lo contrario es verdadero
y tus sensaciones de duda preocupaciones no se han aclarado,
entonces deberías evitar el asunto en cuestión como si este
significase malas consecuencias.Allah (SWT) dice: “… es posible que
os disguste algo que sea un bien para vosotros y que améis algo que
sea n mal. Sólo Allah sabe y vosotros no sabéis.”(Corán 2:216)De
hecho la esencia de esta oración es probar la confianza que uno
tiene en Allah, por lo tanto, la necesidad de atenerse a la guía de
Allah aun si esto significase continuar o abandonar el asunto en
cuestión. Allah dice también:“…y el que pone su confianza en Allah,
Allah le es suficiente. Es cierto que la voluntad de Allah siempre
se realiza y Allah le ha dado a cada cosa una justa medida” (Corán
65:3)
If you have suffered food poisoning and believe a restaurant is
responsible there may be something you can do.
Firstly you must visit your doctor when you fall ill who will
take a sample of faeces. From this, he or she should be able to
identify the type of food poisoning you are suffering.
You should also inform your local environmental health
department who may wish to investigate the restaurant in
question.
Proving who is responsible may be difficult, but if more than
one person is affected you will have a stronger case. If you can
prove the kitchen caused your illness you can claim compensation
for your pain, suffering and any loss of earnings and other
expenses you incur as a result. In particularly serious cases, get
advice from a personal injury solicitor on how much to claim.
The letter below, composed by the Consumer's Association, is an
example of the type of letter you will need to send to the
owner.
Sample letter

I have been advised by my GP that the food poisoning almost
certainly resulted from the food which had been eaten at your
restaurant. This is because (details).
You are legally obliged to serve food which is fit for human
consumption under the terms of the contract between restaurant and

"www.ehow.com" had written an article about goneria being
a viral infection, but disguised the fact that it is contracted via

sexually transmitted and not caught via sneezing or breathing
germs.

learned most of what life has to offer, then you may find that
it is time to look at new horizons!
THE NEW GENERATION.

Onomatopoeic = sound words
Unlike me you shouldn’t need to work at the age of 12 and should
have parents that are able to provide you will all necessary needs.
One doesnt need to go too far too see the impact a few comments
made, has on the ignorance of others and has on neighbouring
crowds, in order to predict the consequence of decisions based on
emotions.
Wages from a weekend job shouldn’t be wasted on fashion, but
saved towards your first patent or copyright.
As flattering as it may be to have parents as role models,
although I also thought I knew everything, at the age of 12 with my
4 hours a week of employment and my own bank account. It comes as a
huge surprise, when we awaken to find that actually, I did know
most, but still not all.
The generation of today can now, connect with parents contacts,
experiences and not have to admit they were wrong, when they were
because they are now skilled and equip with extended vocabulary of
the eloquent English language, which reserves the right to change
its definition as and when required.
“equip” shouldnt there be a “t” at the end of that word. and
just the other day I saw all these words written with a when it
should have been . U.
I am sure how it got to this point, the casual relaxed persona
or the turning ablind eye to people’s faults or LIGHT DAY TIME
HUMOUR. I woke this morning to see snow, cat napped and then
pleasantly awoke again to see the snow which I may be inclined to
have felt I had imagined had actually melted.
A generation of children, that start life with the knowledge of
how the legal system works, researching for survival; when actually
the playground conversations are about contact procedures and
children’s rights and should be about pantomimes and plays. Even
the solicitor was impressed, “gosh they know all about this”, what?
(thats pardon, if children arereading, and the word what, has only
been added here to show vocabulary impact using vocabulary (which
is impact using vocabulary) as if it couldn’t get any
worse.
Not having become quite the redundant parent, when you offer the
chat “lets have a chat” you are told, all relevant information has
been accumulated, and friends have told them everything they need
to know. In actual fact court cases have been delayed, and
judgements made without evidence. Such a novel idea, which actually
it has all been done before.
We use slang a lot of the time, without actually being aware of
its origin, which mostly is derived from sexual references. Usually
to be met with peculiar looks.
“Never underestimate the gut instinct; Reading this you might
think I sound very ambitious. I’m actually not. I’ve
made most of my career decisions on gut instinct. I’ve turned
things down that just felt wrong – even when they looked good on
paper. And I’ve taken things that looked a bit of a risk if
they felt right. I don’t think ‘listening to your gut’ is as
random as it sounds. Your gut is processing all your 5, 10,
20 years of experience and giving you the benefit of its
professional opinion.” M. Williams.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
34k or 64k platform, so that until the gut instinct can catch up
with the idea of the raw coded web site, and then we are in
business. I say that, in complete ignorance of your world and, is
LOVE really a place in the workplace. Then if it helps in the
detangling of the situation and morality of the mood I may be
inclined to call myelf. Thats my selfs, without the s.
With a bank account and your own pay as you go credit card,

Sometimes in the most unusual of
places, in the most unexpected of expereinces we find love. When we
least expected it and when we had not received it in the form and
manner that was deserved of us. When we had not had anything to
compare it to. We owe everything to the creater as it is he whom
has the power to do as he wills and puts love in our
hearts.
