Who Is Poor??

We need money to survive our life,right?

Sometimes we think we're poor coz we don't hav enough money, right?

I want to ask u,is it true dat we can called people who doesn't hav money as

poor?

Who is poor?

One day the Prophet asked his dear companions whether they knew who was

poor.

They answered dat poor was one who had no dirham r dinar.


He said :

"In my Ummah,the poor is dat man who would appear on d Day of d Judgment b4 ALLAH : he had offered prayer, he had pay zakat, he had observed fast, but he would hav abused somebody, he would hav falsely accused some one,he would hav unauthorisedly taken some one else's property, he would hav murdered some one, would hav hit some body. All his virtues would be given to his victims. If his virtues are finished b4 his wicked deeds are finished, then d errors n sins of d victim would be given to him n he would be thrown in2 d Hell."

(Muslim)

Such a man is really poor.His condition is like dat trader who has good worth

1 thousand rupees but he is a debtor 4 2 thousand rupees.

How can such a man be called rich?

A religious man who offers certain prayers r performs certain forms of

worship,but even after dat performs certain evil deeds.Behaves rudely

wit d people, treat poor n helpless people cruelly,

how then such a man will be called righteous?

The Prophet has explained by quoting an example.

He said dat d best moral character melts error like water n bad morals

spoil man's record as vinegar spoils honey.

Why We Must Read Al-Quran?

Why do we read Quran, even if we can't understand a single Arabic word?

This is beautiful story, please read till end and forward to all you knows...

An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Qur'an. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked,

"Grandpa! I try to read the Qur'an just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur'an do?"

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied,

"Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house.

The grandfather laughed and said,

"You'll have to move a little faster next time,"

He sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said,

"I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough,"

He went out the door to watch the boy try again. At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would Leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty.

Out of breath, he said,

"See Grandpa, it's useless!"

"So you think it is useless?" The old man said,"Look at the basket."

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.

"Son, that's what happens when you read the Qur'an. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and outside. That is the work of Allah in our lives."

Moral of the story : Read Al-Quran frequently as it will purify our heart. When we have pure heart, it is easy to do righteous and leave jahiliyah and badness in ourselves.

A Letter From Gaza

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

My dear sisters and brothers I wanted to take this opportunity to send you a message from the sisters and brothers in Gaza. Please hear our situation and tell everyone that you know and don't know.

When the Zionists attacked us on 27th December 2008, they not only attacked Hamas, they not only attacked the Muslims of Gaza, they attacked Muslims everywhere. They attacked Islam in the hope that they will weaken it and ultimately destroy it and ummah of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم. And they will never stop here. They want the beloved Al Aqsa, they want the West Bank and believe me when I tell you that they want the whole of the Middle East. But they will never succeed. They will never remove the light of Allah inshAllah. Our situation is dire but our iman is strong Alhamdulillah, even though we have no water to speak of, and when we do, it is polluted and diseased. We have no money to buy mineral water. When we find the money those that sell it say that it is too dangerous for them to travel out to get new supplies. We have no gas, and have not had for the last four months. We cook the little food we have on real fires that we have learned to prepare. Our men have lost all of their jobs. They spend their days at home now. My husband can spend a day just going from place to place just for the basic need of water. He usually returns empty handed.

There are no schools, no banks from which we can withdraw our money. Few hospitals are open for our wounded. You are constantly aware that you risk your life when you go out and when you are indoors. They give us a curfew between 1-4pm. We can go out, they say, in safety to get your supplies, but that is a lie. They have often used that opportunity to add more shuhadaa to their list.

We eat one day rice and one day bread. Meat and milk are a luxury. They are using chemical warfare in the areas which are on the borders. They are killing us by bullets and tanks and B52s, but they are also killing us slowly by starving our children, inflicting indescribable diseases with their chemical warfare and laughing as our suffering becomes prolonged and unbearable. All this and we are being told that people demonstrate all over the world. MashAllah the fact that you go to embassies and leave your homes makes us feel truly that we are not alone in our struggle. But you go home at night and lock your door. We cannot do that. I have to leave my home on the second floor every night and stay with my sister on the ground floor. Should there be an attack, it's quicker to leave from the ground floor.

But the ummah is asking where are the Muslim armies? Where is the victory? And where is our true leader who will save us from this death? Where are the armies of Salahadeen Ayubi? Do not look to the UN, they recognised Israel in 1949 as a state and sealed our fate as it is today. Do not turn to America or Britain, did they not invade our ummah in Iraq and Afghanistan. Call the armies in Egypt, in Syria, in Turkey, in Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. In Bangladesh, in the Gulf, in Indonesia and in Libya where are they? Are they content to watch women scream for their help as they bury their young children? Are the screams of their sisters and brothers falling on deaf ears? We have a right to eat and drink in safety and security. We have a right to laugh and live in hope, do we not? Yes we are tired.

When we hear rockets and bombs and see planes that fly too close to our building, I scream with my young son and my husband feels helpless. The brothers will know what it must be like to feel helpless to protect the honour and lives of your family. It kills something of him inside. We often wonder when will they sell our land cheaply, will it take one thousand or two thousand deaths. We wait to see. The Israelis have started to plan where their settlements will be in Gaza. This is what we have become. In all this there is no one but Allah سبحانه وتعالى that can save us.

Don't forget us because you are all that we have now. Your sadaqaat is not reaching us, and when they open borders it only reaches a few who can do nothing with it because we risk our lives just to buy food. They will kill anyone, anyone even if he is a five year old child carrying food for his family. We want to live from the sweat of our men, not from the sweat of others because we are dying. Keep up the work of Allah and pray and work for the victory that will come soon and rescue our ummah everywhere inshAllah. May Allah سبحانه وتعالى make us steadfast in our deen, during struggle and during ease. Ya Allah bring us the victory soon and re-establish Islam as the authority by which we live, Ya Allah send us the sons of Salahudeen, the army of Islam to rescue Mohammed's صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ummah from the oppression under which we live. Ya Allah protect our children and remove the zionists from our land. Ya Allah witness today that we account our rulers, we pray that you return our true leader the Khaleefah soon.

Ameen.

Gunakan senjata mukmin iaitu DOA. Seseungguhnya Allah dekat tatkala kita berdoa.

What I've learnt Today?

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."

"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."

"I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'."

"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."

"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."

"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."

"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."

"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone."

"People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."

"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

APPRECIATE THINGS AROUND YOU...THERE'S A REASON WHY ALLAH DID THAT. ^_^

It Was Never Between You And Them

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, there may be jealousy;
Be happy anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

The Beauty Of Nature

The breeze,the sky,the clouds,the thunderstorms and the insects are all sources of beauty you should be aware of.

The breeze is lovely.Have you ever felt it? Every morning,I will go out and feel the breeze that caresses my face and cools my body.The breeze is symbol of nature and it is simply beautiful.It is a gift from ALLAH – free for mankind but not everyone is aware of its presence.

When we gaze at the sky,sometimes it is immensely blue,but white silver clouds never fails to wheel against it.Allah paints a picture out of this puzzling jingsaw pieces made out of passing clouds that are never the same as they change continuously.Allah has made the scene more and more attractive and the beauty depends on the observer.In reality,they can be more stunning than what I have perceived.

When the sky turns black with thick heavy clouds from a distance,curtains of falling rain can be seen.It appears as though an unseen hand is pouring water onto the lands to nourish them.This image is so striking that it makes me closer to the beauty of Allah.
After a downpour,the air is crisp and refreshing.Creatures come to life.Birds sing with joy.The frogs croak merrily.The bees buzz blissfully as they do their work.Even the insects seem to shriek louder.I am so amused by the rhythm made by these creatures making me sing along on the wet grass.I am sure that they are all praising ALLAH on the handsome life HE granted.

As the sun sets,the moon takes its tack.Sometimes the moon appears round,sometimes crescent-shaped.Whatever the shape may be,its presence adds to the beauty of the backdrops of stars in the far reaches of space.It is amazing that there are such things,unimaginable,unlessyou are an observer.

When night comes,the stars rule the sky.Millions of these twinkling jewels can be seen in black sky.How else could we see the wonders of the universe?
The scene is gorgeous indeed.But the Creator of the universe is far more Gorgeous than that.He can create and manage the universe.We are such tiny dusts!!!We then should realize that we are not match to ALLAH.

Look at the world around you,filled with wonders.Little bees,butterflies,and others fly among the flowers in search of food.The flowers themselves are brightly colored with every possible combination of hues.I feast my eyes on the beauty of nature’s countless wonders.

The beauty of nature is just a small portion from the beauty of ALLAH.It is so simple and undemanding that we often fail to perceive it.It is so automatic that we often take them for granted.Many people feel the wonders of nature but just few relate them to the wonders of Allah.It is actually a blessing to be able to smell roses,to touch the morning dew,and listen to songs of the birds but do not forget,these are signs for us to be closer to the CREATOR.
