SUNITA WILLIAMS EMBRACED ISLAM

Ms. SUNITA WILLIAMS, the first Indian woman who has travelled to the moon, had accepted and embraced Islam right after she returned to the earth. Further reported, when they were on the moon they saw the entire EARTH thru a TELESCOPE so dark, except two spots that looked like SPARKS (Roshni). They were shocked to know that the two spots are "Masjidel (Mosques) Haram in Makkah and Masjid Nabawi in Madinah". Allahu Akbar.

TWO RIVERS-SUBHANALLAH-(MUST SEE)

Above shown photos are of the two rivers flowing in southern part near Cape Town , South Africa.

These rivers flow together and there nature came to know in the starting of 20th century where as ALLAH (SWT)mentioned the nature of these two rivers in Holy Quran around 1400years Back.
These two river flow together and finally settle down in the Ocean,taste of one river is extreamly sweet whereas the taste of another river is extreamly opposite (that is bitter) but they never mix.There is nothing in between these rivers which stops them from mixing togther but its is the will & order of ALLAH (SWT)

Have you ever wondered about Earth's shape?

Sign of Allah: Torture in a tomb

On this photo a 18-year old young man who died in one of hospitals of Oman . Di photo ini adalah seorang pemuda berusia 18 tahun yang meninggal di salah satu rumah sakit di oman . The corpse of the boy has been dug out from a tomb in 3 hours after his funeral under the insisting of his father. Mayat pemuda tersebut digali kembali dari kuburnya setelah 3 jam di makamkan yang di saksikan oleh ayahnya . The boy died in hospital and has been buried under the Islamic law and on the same day after obligatory ablution of the body. Pemuda tersebut meninggal dirumah sakit dan setelah di mandikan di makamkan secara islam di hari itu juga . However after funeral the father has doubted of the diagnosis of doctors and wanted to identify the true reason of his death. Tetapi setelah pemakaman ayahnya merasa ragu atas diagnosa dokter dan menginginkan untuk di identifikasi kebenaran penyebab kematianya. 

Relatives and his friends shocked when they saw the corpse.Seluruh kerabat dan teman - temannya begitu terkejut saat mereka melihat kondisi mayat . He was completely different within 3 hours. Mayat tsb begitu berbeda dalam 3 jam. He turned grey as the very old man, dia berubah tampak ke abu - abuan seperti orang yang sudah tua . 
    with traces of obvious tortures and the most severe beating, Dengan tampak jelas bekas siksaan dan pukulan yang amat keras and  with the broken bones of hands and legs, with the edges broken a, nd pressed into a body. dan dengan tulang - tulang kaki dan tangan yang hancur begitu juga ujung ujungnya sehingga menekan kebadanya. 

All His body and face were full of bruise. Seluruh badan dan mukanya memar. The open eyes-showed hopeless fear and pain .Matanya yang terbuka memerlihatkan ketakutan, kesakitan dan keputusasaan. The blood obviously attributes that the boy has been subjected to the most severe torture. Darah yang begitu jelas menandakan bahwa pemuda tersebut sedang mendapatkan siksaan yang amat berat. 

Close relatives of the dead man have addressed to Islamic scientists who have unequivocally declared that it is available results of tomb torture which the Allah ( s.w.t) and in the Hadis of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) have warned. Sebagai penutup dari orang yang meninggal tersebut semuanya di tujukan kepada Ilmu pengetahuan tentang Islam yang mana tidak dapat dipungkiri lagi keterngananya bahwa siksa kubur itu benar adanya seperti yang di peringatkan oleh ALLAH SWT dan Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. 

The shocked father of the boy has admitted that his son was spoilt, did not do Solat, and had a carefree way of life, having involved in different sins. 

Each died person comes across tests in the tomb for exception Shahids who died in Jihad on the way of Allah. This is first terrible test which the person comes across before the Doomsday. 

In Hadis of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w):

- After the death the spirit of died person will return to a body then two Angels will come, Munkar and Nakir, and will ask: 'Who is your Lord?' he will answer: 'my Lord - Allah '. Then they will ask: 'What is your religion?' he will answer: 'My religion - Islam'. Then they will ask him: 'Who that person who has been sent to you?' he will answer: 'He is the Prophet of Allah '. Then they will ask him: 'How do you know?' He will answer: 'I read the Book of Allah and trusted Him. 

And then from heavens the voice will come: ' My Slave has told the truth, lay it to bed from Paradise and open the Gate of Paradise ' - then it will be full of pleasure and he begins to feel paradise pleasure, and his tomb becomes spacious, that eyes can reach. 

The Prophet of Allah Muhammad (s.a.w) said about the sinners. After the death the spirit of died person will return to the body then two Angels will come and ask, 'Who is your Lord?' he will answer: 'I do not know'. Then they will ask: ' Who that person who has been sent to you?' he again will answer: I 'do not know' - and then from the sky the voice will come: 'he told a lie, Put him into a box from fire and open before it the Gate of a hell! '-then it will be captured with heat of the hell, and his tomb becomes narrow and the edges will be compressed. 

In Hadis it is also said, that Angels will severely beat the sinners during interrogation in the tomb and this torture will be awful. It is informed also, that our Messenger (s.a.w) supplicated to Allah to protect Him from tortures of a tomb and asked other people to do so. 

The history of 18-year old young men is a sign for believers and this is only next fairy tale for whom hearts are sealed by Allah. They look and do not see, listen and do not hear? 

Nisfu Syaaban

Nisfu Syaaban is a clear indicator that the blessed month of Ramadan is around the corner. One can fast as many as days as one likes before Nisfu Syaaban. But after Nisfu Syaaban, the 15th Syaaban, one should not fast, except for those who are used to fast on certain days, every Mondays and Thursdays for example.

But if one is not used to that pattern, and he wants to fast after Nisfu Syaaban, then it is not advisable for him to do so. In hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad, Rasulullah s.a.w said: 
Which means: When Nisfu Syaaban comes, stop fasting until Ramadan.

Since Nisfu Syaaban is a sign to us that Ramadan will be coming shortly, it is well advised that we take that seriously. We should begin our preparations for Ramadan. If we can go to such great extent to prepare beautifying our houses and ourselves for Hari Raya, why can’t we do the same for Ramadan? In fact, Ramadan is more important than Hari Raya. Hari Raya will be celebrated in just one day. Ramadan is celebrated for the whole month and to elevate our spiritual self.

So in all sense, Ramadan is much more important than Hari Raya. Thus, it is important that we make a greater preparation for Ramadan.

Maasyiral Muslimin rahimakumullah,
The blessedness of Nisfu Syaaban lies in its night, which according to our calendar, will fall on this Sunday night.

There are many hadith that conveyed the blessedness of Nisfu Syaaban. Even though a great number of those hadith about the blessedness of Nisfu Syaaban are either weak or dubious, there are many scholars, Ulama, who are of the opinion that, taken as a whole, it indicates that there is some truth on the blessedness of Nisfu Syaaban.

Syeikh Mubarakfuri, a famous hadith scholar of high repute from India, wrote in his book Syarah Sunan Tirmizi, that he supports the blessedness of Nisfu Syaaban. He said that the existence of many hadith, even though weak, seems to convey that there is some truth in those hadith, and that Man does not fabricate them.

But in our earnest to pursue the blessings of Nisfu Syaaban, or any other nights or days for that matter, there are two important things we should remember.

First, we must not dedicate specialized acts of worships for a particular time period, except specified by Al-Quran or authentic hadiths.

Thus for the night of Nisfu Syaaban, we should reject all accounts of special prayers or recitations for that night. There is no special solat for Nisfu Syaaban. 
Instead, we should increase our general acts of worship, such as performing sunat prayers, tahajud prayers, reciting Al-Quran, remembering Allah through zikir, and to seek his forgiveness.

The second thing that we should remember is that: when we perform any acts or worship, we should not do them purely for the sake of receiving its promised rewards. 
For example, it has been promised by our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w that whosoever fast six days after Ramadan, will be rewarded as if he has fasted for the whole year. While this promise can be regarded as an encouragement and motivation for us to perform such act of worship, it should not be the only reason for us to perform that worship.

Instead, we should be sincere when worshiping Allah. Not for this reward or that reward. For sincerity is its best reward.

When someone is sincere in worshiping Allah, he will receive unlimited rewards. Rewards that only Allah knows. Allah says in surah Al-Baiyyinah, verse 5:
Which means: And they have been commanded no more than this: To worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular prayer; and to practise regular charity; and that is the Religion Right and Straight.

My brothers in Islam,
Let us not just regard Nisfu Syaaban as a sign that Ramadan is near. We should also regard Nisfu Syaaban as a sign that we should look into ourselves, to do some self-accounting on our past deeds. How little our devotions to Allah are and how much our sins are. How unprepared we are for the blessings of Allah in Ramadan.

If that is our condition, we should seriously consider doing some house cleaning. Not for our physical houses, but for our hearts, and our spiritual self. Grab the opportunity presented to us in the night of Nisfu Syaaban to repent on all our mistakes, and to seek forgiveness from Allah. And for two weeks after that, let us watch carefully our character, our manners, so that when Ramadan comes, we will be spiritually ready for it.

Besides doing self-accounting on ourselves, let us also do self-accounting on our community, and the Ummah in general. Ramadan comes. Ramadan goes. Has there been any improvement in our community? Are there members of our community who still disregard, or worse, do not respect Ramadan?If there are, then we should do something. We should use self-accounting as a tool to take stock of our community and ourselves.

Let us be aware of the mistakes and deficiencies, and then take steps to correct and overcome them.

This is a characteristic of an excellent society, to constantly do self-correction and tackle problems head on.

We Muslims are special. If other communities do self-improvement for their life in this world, we should do more. We are commanded to improve both our worldly life and our life in the Hereafter. We should be a model and inspiration to all.

May the coming days witness a positive change in our community, and ourselves amen.
