Why are they powerful?
So why are Muslims powerless? Here's another reason. We have lost the capacity to produce knowledge.
o  In the entire Muslim World (57 Muslim Countries) there are only 500 universities.
o  In USA alone, 5,758 universities
o  In India alone, 8,407 universities
o  Not one university in the entire Islamic World features in the Top 500 Ranking Universities of the World
o  Literacy in the Christian World  90%
o  Literacy in the Muslim World     40%
o  15 Christian majority-countries, literacy rate 100%
o  Muslim majority - countries ,       None
o  98% in Christian countries completed primary
o  Only 50% in Muslim countries completed primary.
o  40% in Christian countries attended university
o  In Muslim countries a dismal 2% attended.
o  Muslim majority countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims
o  The USA has 5000 per million
o  The Christian world 1000 technicians per million.
o  Entire Arab World only 50 technicians per million.
o  Muslim World spends on research/developmen t 0.2% of GDP
o  Christian World spends 5 % of GDP
 
Conclusion
.
The Muslim World lacks the capacity to produce knowledge.
Another way of testing the degree of knowledge is the degree of diffusing knowledge.
 
o   Pakistan 23 daily newspapers per 1000 citizens
o   Singapore 460 per 1000 citizens.
o  In UK book titles per million is 2000
o  In Egypt book titles per million is only 17
 
Conclusion.

o  Muslim World is failing to diffuse knowledge
 
Applying Knowledge is another such test.
o  Exports of high tech products from   Pakistan is 0.9% of its exports..
o  In Saudi Arabia is 0.2%
o   Kuwait , Morocco and Algeria 0.3%
o   Singapore alone is 68%
 
Conclusion
.
Muslim World is failing to apply knowledge.
 
What do you conclude?

no need to tell …… the figures are speaking themselves very loudly we are unable to listen
My Advice:

Please educate yourself and your children. always promote education, don't compromise on it, don't ignore your children's slightest misguidance from education (and please, for God's Sake, don't use your personal contacts or sources to promote your children in their education; if they fail, let them and make them learn to pass; b/c if
they can't do it now, they can't ever).

Jab seena gham se bojhl ho aur yaad kisi ki aati ho,


 

 

Jab seena gham se bojhl ho aur yaad kisi ki aati ho,
Tab kamre mein band ho jana aur chupke chupke ro lena,

Jab aankhein bhaari ho jaayen aur yaad mein meri bhar aayen,
Phir khud ko dhoka mat dena,aur chupke chupke ro lena,

Jab palken qarb se mondi ho aur sab samjhe tum sote ho,
Tab chehre par takiya rakh lena aur chupke chupke ro lena,

Yeh duniya zalim duniya hai…yeh baat bahut phelayegi,
Tum sabke saamne chup rehna aur chupke chupke ro lena,

Jab baarish chehra dho daale aur ashq bhi bonden lagte ho,
Woh lamha hargiz mat khona aur chupke chupke ro lena

Zina : The Easy Option



In the Name of Allah,

the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

 


Zina : The Easy Option
 
Taken from
 

 

  

All praise is due to Allah, the One Who says:
[And do not come near to the unlawful sexual intercourse.]

(Al-Israa 17:32)


And peace and blessings be upon His slave and Messenger Muhammad, who said, "When a man commits fornication, faith departs from him and there is something like a canvas roof over his head; and when he quits that action, faith returns to him"

(Abu Dawud 40:4673).

 


Undoubtedly, all Muslims are aware of the prohibition of adultery and fornication. However, many of us live in a Western society where this crime has become widespread and commonly accepted. This crime has even crept into some Muslim homes to the extent that we find some who are proud to see their son entering the house with a girl accompanying him.

 

 

This article will define adultery and fornication in Islam; it will discuss the punishment for them and the status of ones marriage to one who commits either of them; and it will advise how to repent and how to protect yourself from them.


In todays English, unlawful sexual intercourse by a married person is called adultery; sexual intercourse by an unmarried person is called fornication.

 

Unlike English, Arabic has only one word for both cases — zina.

 

 

Throughout the history of religions, zina always has been prohibited; however, its prohibition is more emphatic and forceful in Islam.

Zina is regarded as one of the gravest of all the major sins.

Over fourteen hundred years ago, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) prophesied that among the signs of the Day of Judgment is the prevalence of illegal sexual intercourse.

 

Anas ibn Malik reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying, "It is from the conditions of the Last Hour that knowledge would be taken away and ignorance would prevail (upon the world), liquor would be drunk, and adultery would become rampant" (Muslim 34:6451).

 


Prophet Muhammad viewed zina as a serious crime. It is reported that Allahs Messenger ordered that an unmarried man who committed illegal sexual intercourse be scourged one hundred lashes and sent into exile for one year (Al-Bukhari 3:48 817).

 


A person has committed zina if he or she voluntarily and deliberately performs sexual intercourse with other than his or her spouse. The act of zina has taken place when the mans sexual organ has been inserted inside the womans , regardless of the number of times or whether contraception was used, such as a condom or separator between the consenting adults organs.

 



Proving Zina

 


A person is convicted of zina by one or more of the following ways:
If the zaani (fornicator or adulterer) makes a confession without going back on his or her word until he or she is subjected to any prescribed punishment. If at some stage the person retracts the confession, he or she must not be subjected to any prescribed punishment.


The testimony to the act of four reliable and pious men, each of whom must testify that he actually saw the mans sexual organ inserted inside the womans.

 

This stringent condition is to protect innocent Muslims and to block the road for those who want to spread evil among the Muslim society.


If a woman who is not married is found pregnant.
Punishment for Zina in This Life

There are definite prescribed punishments known as hadd (plural: hudud), which have been mentioned in the Quran and the Sunnah concerning those who engage in the criminal act.

 

The following conditions must be fulfilled before the hadd is applied:
1. The offenders must be sane.
2. They must be Muslim.
3. They have reached the age of puberty.
4. They must be free and not slaves.


The Quranic injunctions with regards to those who commit zina were revealed in stages.

 

The wisdom behind this was to make these injunctions acceptable to the new converts to Islam who often engaged in zina during the days of Jahiliyah (ignorance).

 

The first revelation concerning the punishment of zina was that a woman guilty of zina was to be confined to her home until she died (An-Nisaa 4:15).

 

The second revelation covered both men and women and was not very specific regarding punishment:
[And as for the two who are guilty of indecency from among you, give them both a punishment; then if they repent and amend, turn aside from them; surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.] (An-Nisaa 4:16)

 


Allah Almighty then revealed:
[(As for) the fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them, (giving) a hundred stripes, and let not pity for them detain you in the matter of obedience to Allah and the last day.] (An-Nur 24:2)

 


Know that punishment for this crime of zina acts as atonement for this sin. The idea behind the harsh and severe punishment does not contradict the spirit of Islam; it actually serves as a deterrent in society. It protects a persons family lineage and the spread of moral decadence and disease in society.

 

When people realize the graveness of their sin, and that its punishment is most humiliating and painful, very few would dare to commit it.

 


Marriage to a Person Guilty of Zina


Marriage between two who are guilty of zina is permissible as per what Allah Almighty says:
[The fornicator shall not marry any but a fornicatress or idolatress, and (as for) the fornicatress, none shall marry her but a fornicator or an idolater; and it is forbidden to the believers."] (An-Nur 24:3)

 


There is a difference of opinion among the scholars with regards to a chaste man marrying an adulteress who has not repented or vice versa. Some of them said that it is not lawful.

 

This is the opinion of Ali, Al-Baraa, Aishah, and Masud (may Allah be pleased with them all).

 

The majority of scholars, including Abu Bakr, Umar or Uthman, and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them all), on the other hand, permitted marriage with an adulterer, adding however, that marriage to a chaste and pure person was more virtuous.

 


Repentance


One might think that the only way a person guilty of zina can be forgiven is by undergoing the prescribed punishment (hadd), but scholars have said that a person who commits a sin should repent to Allah Almighty.

 

The repentance should be sincere, and the guilty person should perform lots of righteous acts and acts of worship. Furthermore, the person should feel remorse and have no intention of ever committing the sin again.

 

The repentance will not be accepted if it is done during the throes of death, as Allah Most High says
[And repentance is not for those who go on doing evil deeds, until when death comes to one of them, he says: Surely now I repent; nor (for) those who die while they are unbelievers.] (An-Nisaa' 4:18)

 

Protection From Committing Zina


There are many ways that Muslims can protect themselves from zina. Salah (prayer), both obligatory and supererogatory, is one of the strongest defenses against zina. Allah Almighty says
[Recite that which has been revealed to you of the Book and keep up prayer; surely prayer keeps (one) away from indecency and evil, and certainly the remembrance of Allah is the greatest.]

(Al-Ankabut 29:45)

 


Regular fasting is another way of suppressing sexual desires, as Allahs Messenger prescribed it for young people who could not afford to get married.

 

 

Another way to keep away from zina is by reminding yourself how you would abhor and dislike it for your mother, daughter, sister, brother, and aunt.

 

This was how Prophet Muhammad explained it to a man who came seeking permission to commit zina. The Prophet told him to remember that Satan watches and waits for you to be distant from your Muslim brethren, then he makes his attack. And so among the things that will deter you from zina is to always be in the company of righteous people who will remind you of Allah Almighty.

 

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith collection of Abu Dawud, "Indeed the wolf devours the lone sheep." Remember that saying "no" to someone who invites you to commit zina will secure you a place of shelter under the shade of Allah's throne on the day when their will be no shelter except His.

 


We ask Allah Most High to protect us from the evil of zina, to accept out righteous actions, and to shower us with His bounties in this life and in the hereafter. 

Aameen!!!

TEN PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS IN THE LIGHT OF SEERAH



 

Ten Principles of Success in the light of the Seerah



It is a well-known fact that the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) was the supremely successful man in the entire human history. But he was not just a hero, as Thomas Carlyle has called him. According to the Qur'an, he was a good example for all mankind. He has shown us the way of achieving supreme success in this world.
By studying the life of the Prophet we can derive those important principles which were followed by the Prophet. In short, the Prophet of Islam was a positive thinker in the full sense of the word. All his activities were result-oriented. He completely refrained from all such steps as may prove counter-productive.
First Principle: To begin from the possible
This principle is well explained in a saying of Aishah. She said: "Whenever the Prophet had to choose between two options, he always opted for the easier choice." (Al-Bukhari)To choose the easiest option means to begin from the possible and one who begins from the possible will surely reach his goal.
Second Principle: To see advantage in disadvantage
In the early days of Mecca, there were many problems and difficulties. At that time, a guiding verse in the Qur'an was revealed. It said: "With every hardship there is ease, with every hardship there is ease." (94:5-6).This means that if there are some problems, there are also opportunities at the same time. And the way to success is to ignore the problems and avail the opportunities.

Third Principle: To change the place of action
This principle is derived from the Hijrah. Hijrah was not just a migration from Mecca to Medina. It was to find a more suitable place for Islamic work, as history proved later on.

Fourth Principle: To make a friend out of an enemy
The prophet of Islam was repeatedly subjected to practices of antagonism by the unbelievers. At that time the Qur'an enjoined upon him the return of good for evil. And then, as the Qur'an added, "You will see your direst enemy has become your closest friend" (41:34).
It means that a good deed in return of a bad deed has a conquering effect over your enemies. And the life of the Prophet is a historical proof of this principle.
Fifth Principle: To turn minus into plus
After the Battle of Badr, about 70 of the unbelievers were taken as the prisoners of war. They were educated people. The Prophet announced that if any one of them would teach ten Muslim children how to read and write he would be freed. This was the first school in the history of Islam in which all of the students were Muslims, and all of the teachers were from the enemy rank. Here I shall quote a British orientalist who remarked about the Prophet of Islam: He faced adversity with the determination to wring success out of failure.

Sixth Principle: The power of peace is stronger than the power of violence
When Mecca was conquered, all of the Prophet's direst opponents were brought before him. They were war criminals, in every sense of the word. But the Prophet did not order to kill them. He simply said: "Go, you are free." The result of this kind behavior was miraculous. They immediately accepted Islam.

Seventh Principle: Not to be a dichotomous thinker
In the famous Ghazwa of Muta, Khalid bin Walid decided to withdraw Muslim forces from the battlefield because he discovered that the enemy was unproportionately outnumbered. When they reached Medina, some of the Muslims received them by the word "O Furrar" (O deserters!) The Prophet said "No. They are Kurrar" (men of advancement)."
Those Medinan people were thinking dichotomously, either fighting or retreating. The Prophet said no. There is also a third option, and that is to avoid war and find a time to strengthen yourself. Now history tells us that the Muslims, after three years of preparation, advanced again towards the Roman border and this time they won a resounding victory.
Eighth Principle: To bring the battle in one's own favorable field
This principle is derived from the Ghazwa of Hudaibiyya. At that time, the unbelievers were determined to engage Muslims in fighting, because obviously they were in an advantageous position. But the Prophet, by accepting their conditions unilaterally, entered into a pact. It was a ten-year peace treaty. Until then, the meeting ground between Muslims and non-Muslims had been on the battlefield. Now the area of conflict became that of ideological debate. Within two years, Islam emerged as victorious because of the simple reason of its ideological superiority.

Ninth Principle: Gradualism instead of radicalism
This principle is well-established by a hadith of Al-Bukhari. Aishah says that the first verses of the Qur'an were related mostly to heaven and hell. And then after a long time when the people's hearts had softened, the specific commands to desist from adultery and drinking were revealed in the Qur'an.This is a clear proof that for social changes, Islam advocates the evolutionary method, rather than the revolutionary method.

Tenth Principle: To be pragmatic in controversial matters
During the writing of Hudaibiyyah treaty, the Prophet dictated these words: "This is from Muhammad, the Messenger of God." The Qurayshi delegate raised objections over these words. The Prophet promptly changed the word and ordered to write simply Muhammad, son of Abdullah.

These were the principles through which the Prophet of Islam gained that success which has been recognized by historians as the supreme success.
In the end, I would like to repeat those ten principles of success:

1. To begin from the possible
2. To see advantage in disadvantage
3. To change the place of action
4. To make a friend out of an enemy
5. To turn minus into plus
6. The power of peace is stronger than the power of violence
7. Not to be a dichotomous thinker
8. To bring the battle in one's own favorable field
9. Gradualism instead of radicalism
10. To be pragmatic in controversial matters
