Life is the most uncertain thing and death is the most certain thing to happen to every one. So prep yourself for meeting with angles of death and then angles of questioning and meeting with prophets and Prophet Mohammed SAW and his companions and finally meeting with Allah. Let's work to save embaressment in front of our beloved prophet and other prophets and forefathers and above all in front of Allah and angles.

REPENT

Muslims are affraid of Islamic rule themselves, becuz they fear that their sinful lifestyle will be restrained. So they go for alternatives even if they are harmful but at least they allow everything but Islam. We want and we choose lifestyles and style of governance to suit our needs, so why complain?

ALLAH khud ba khud set kar lay ga sab ko

Quran says in surat Ra'd: Allah doesn't change the condition of a nation until they change it themselves.

Allah hardly ever mention iman in the Quran by itself, it mostly comes with the word "amal" - action matching the iman.

u r telling me..tht if some1 says anythng against musharraf or bush or any other leader of their country thy wud b left alone

EVRY single country does tht!!
no1 is allowed 2 speak against rulers anywhere in the world!!
whether b it pak or Saudia

Freedom to criticize rulers in US fare far better than in SA. Even in Pak its better. And I took it seriously bcuz you suggested Pak should have a leader like Fahad. I would prefer to have a Kafir rule the country than a munafiq like him.

(im not only talking abt PAK,, so no stupid comments plz)

wot do u think is military's REAL duty ?¿
where does it start and where shd it stop ??

Military real duty is to defend the borders . Military is disciplined organisation.They have well defined rules and they lack few things like diplomacy, foriegn affairs and business. so Military people should stay away from them

Defend country's border from external and internal threats. Military is a force which must remain under tight control of the command. In third world countries, military assumes roles of policing citizens bcuz police is a corrupt and useless entity. Tragedy of nation lies right in its heart - protectors of the nation are bent upon harming it for vested interests.

Paki nation in general is intolerant and emotional in nature. We can't handle difference of opinion, we can't stand opposition, we can't tolerate disagreement. We've not learned that we may disagree on some issues but agree on a lot of issues. our attitude is if someone is not in agreement with my opinion, then he's my enemy. We show it in everyday life - professional, social, religious, sports, and politics. We settle things violently. That's why a more disciplined, armed, and strong group, called military sort things out for us.

After all, military peronnel are from pak also, when they get power and see greener pastures, their corrupt paki-instinct takes over.

So, be it military or government, it reflects the people they stand out from.

KB, I'm only referring to the corruption of rulers and elites especially about Fahad and his family. They show off as righteous but in their actions they are worst. They imprison anyone who would dare to disagree wid'em. They are tyrants.

So do we evaluate our day at night before going to bad. Do we really critically review our activities. Things we said and did? Do we really pa attention to small and minor things that we fend off sometimes as minor sins? Do we seek forgiveness from Allah before going to bed not knowing if we will wake up to live the next day?

sorry sall, I disagree wid ya about similarities.

Americans are coming closer to their religion - refinding their moral (abstinence from pre-marital sex, decency, taking care of neighbors...) - not at its best but people are changing. In Pak, western culture (which descent westerners are parting away from) becoming popular. Alcohol, gambling, sexual activities, dishonesty, lying and slandering are increasing.
American people are generally honest.
American police is generally honest, diligent and respectful.
American government employees generally work to serve American people and do not harass them.
American treat Americans with honor and respect.

America was once a poor nation, but Americans worked really hard with honesty and dignity for a long time to make America a super power. Pakistanis have always kept their person interest ahead of national interest. In reality, only a minority of Americans are corrupt in their mind and in their practice. In Pakistan, If not the majority, A great number are corrupt. We see that practice of Pakis in the west also. Masajid and muslim schools are not safe from their corrupt nature.

Sorry frady to disappoint you, but this is the reality. Pakistan have gone worse in nudity. Hollywood and bollywood style clothing that you see in the paki streets today weren't there 10 years ago. Morally, we are becoming bankrupt. Only things we are holding on to are our customs, traditions, and rituals. One day, they will also fall like a house of cards if the current trend continues.

SA - its holiness is only due to the two holy places. Their justice system is only for poor and middle class. Islamic hudood are not applicable to rich and ruling class. Fahad - A leader, you must be joking. The most corrupt SA ruler ever who gambled in tens of millions in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Princes on SA found patronizing prostitues in US for $50,000 a night, gambling millions of dollars, doing drugs and so on - is that the Islam of SA. Oil of SA is not a personal property of saudi royal family. Its a property of saudi people. Why do then only princes and royal family get the oil money and get richer and more powerful and oppress their people. Wake up people, don't be fooled by some outwardly good that you see, bcuz, their are wolves hiding behind innocent faces.

Democracy is one extreme and dictatorship is another. One grants people to practise their whims and the other one gives free reins to one ruler to rule by his whims.
Islam offers a median which is the best of both worlds. Islam welcomes norms of democracy so far as human desires do not exceed the divine thrashold. For example, no matter if majority of the people want to consume interest, or gamble, it can never become a lawful practice in the state. Islamic democracy is consultation and by which a ruler is appointed who rules unchanged until either death takes over or that his rulership is not acceptable to the people who appointed him.

Allah tests people with happiness and with clamity. Plague had hit Muslims in Syria at the time of Omar RA in which Abu Obaidah ibn jarrah, his son, Maa'dh ibn Jabal and many other sahaba died along with many thousand others. Were those bad people!
They were the people who left home and sacrificed everything to establish the deen of Allah.

However, when earthquake shook Medina in the time of Omar R.A twice, he said to people, either mend your ways or I will leave you, bcuz earthquakes happen when sins increase.

That's the dilemma of our people, we love ourselves more than our children even more than Allah. Quran says: "O you who believe, save yourself and your families from the fire of hell whose fuel would be humans and stones."

Signs of good work be seen in opposition and discouragement. So take it as an honor in that when people call you names and reject you.

If it was upto humans to define good and evil, good wld've become evil and evil become good. That's why God defined good and evil are standards.

democracy means majority rules - minority, to heck with it!

Meaning, governing laws are legislated by the vote of the majority. Now question is, what if majority votes to accepting haram as a norm, or a rule contradicting divine injunctions?

Sall at el, you all have valid points.
Ideally, rule of God is supreme. All man made laws should either conform with it or be derived from it.

I am not saying word of people be ignored, rather it should be measure of performance and feedback for improvement.

Allah swt says that His took over His anger. Mercy and forgiveness if Allah are limitless. Prophet of Allah (pguh) said Allah will forgive sins of his slave even if they reach the clouds or even if they are bigger than the mass of the earth, provided he/she believes in His oneness and realizes he/she made errors and approach Him in repentance.

Conditions for repentance include:
- recognizing sin
- accepting error
- feel sorry for doing it
- resolve never to do it again
- ask forgiveness with sincerity

Trick of satan is that it makes us arrogant and we do not recognize our acts as sins and we don't seek forgiveness until death approaches us.

That's what we do with such serious topics, we get into meaningless conversations.

Who among us thinks have a gauranteed long life?

We see young people die for one reason or the other, while we live - is it becuz we are lucky?

Prophet (pbuh) said: If you live thru the night don't expect to live thru the morning and if you lived thru to the morning, don't expect to live till the evening.

Death is very near, are we prepared to honor the visit of the angel of death and meet our Creator?

Just like when we are preparing for exams we don't waste our time on trivial things, we should focus on preparing for death.

Are we prepared to lay under tons of dirt in that dark hole, lonely and helpless for centuries? Are we ready to recive the angles for questioning?

Nothing will benefit there except few. I realize, these reminders are very boring, but it is a reality none can escape. Your avowed enemy wants you to forget about death and to keep you from preparing for it; so he keeps us busy in vain talk and act and indecency.

Its neither cultural nor a product of a dirty mind, its rather a religious thing. In Islam, neither men or women (boys or girls after puberty) can gaze at or touch each other, let alone hugging. This is an injunction from God Almighty and His mighty prophet (pbuh). If someone believes in them will take what they command and refrain from what they condemn. Of course, it is to everyones free will to accept or reject these commandments.

Asian, I careless about what you think and do. I just wanted to let you know that I will not take your bullish behavior and I guess you got it

Prophet SAW said, i was sent down to correct and establish good morals.

Prophet SAW gauranteed paradise (meaning forgiveness and complete freedom from fire) for those who would gaurantee strict gaurd of their tounges and their private parts. Loose tounge reflects weakness of morals & imaan. Weakness in gaurding private areas shows servitude to desires which makes eyes to wonder around and ears to enjoy and limbs to bring one closer to acts of indecency.

Mosques in two pics are different. Are these pictures of two different areas (countries), bcuz types of trees are also very different?

Then badshah change the pic in your sig which represents intimate relationship of shame if you really have taken tsunami seriously. This is a friendly advice.

Hadith of the Prophet (pbuh) didn't mention that mountain was shaking because of the azab.

Its a wake up call. Just another Godly reminder with a bang so loud everyone knew about about. Million dollar question is, how many repented and changed their life style?

Generation before us understood but ignored it. Our generation do not want to understand. Generation after ours, thinks Quran and prophet's teachings are impractical.
May Allah give us the sense to understand His book and follow it. Ameen

your asking with open mind to understand or is it just to press your own point!

on and on n...

sombody stuck their other foot in the mouth also
bcuz they are upset and raging and can't control themselves. So what are they gonna do
exactly! show their character and education.

So people, enjoy the show

yea frady, welcome back.

OK! how about a poll on who's a loser on JB.
annnnnnnn X X X, wrong again computers were around way b4 asian even broke outa her shell. Again, think twice (for you thrice) b4 you speak.

simply, taking life of another human without any justification - only permitted by sharia, is as grave a sin as killing the whole humanity. And one who saves the life of an innocent is like one who saves the life of whole humanity.

Istekhara is for situations when choices / options in halal actions are available and one finds difficulty in picking one. Just like in the dua of istekhara, we acknowledge that Allah knows and we don't and that we seek his guidance in making choices. We ask Allah to draw us closer to the option that is better for us in this life and the hereafter, better for our life and death, better for our families and provisions; and draw it closer to us and make us satisfied with it.

Also, we ask Allah to draw us farther from the option that is bad for us in this life and the hereafter, harmful for our life and death, bad for our families and provisions; and draw it farther away us and replace it with one that will satisfy us.

This is the only method known from the practice of the prophet. For other methods, I have not seen any evidence in Hadith.

You make make istekhara as many times as you want. Allah opens the ways for you to choose the option that is good for you and ways to the alternative become difficult.

I hope you would make use of it and will find it beneficial.
