hijab-- the symbol of modesty

You look at me and call me oppressed,

Simply because of the way I'm dressed,

You know me not for what's inside,

You judge the clothing I wear with pride

My body's not for your eyes to hold,

You must speak to my mind, not my feminine mold,

I'm an individual, I'm no mans slave,

It's Allahs pleasure that I only crave

I have a voice so I will be heard,

For in my heart I carry His word,

"O ye women, wrap close your cloak,

So you won't be bothered by ignorant folk"

Man doesn't tell me to dress this way,

It's a Law from God that I obey,

Oppressed is something I'm truly NOT,

For liberation is what I've got

It was given to me many years ago,

With the right to prosper, the right to grow

I can climb moutains or cross the seas,

Expand my mind in all degrees

For God Himself gave us LIB-ER-TY

When He sent Islam, To You and Me...

(Izdehar Albowyha)

a man and a shaitan

A man woke up early in order to pray the Fajr prayer in the masjid. He got dressed, made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid. On his way to the masjid, the man fell and his clothes got dirty. He got up, brushed himself off,and headed home.

At home, he changed his clothes, made his ablution, and was, again, on his way to the masjid.On his way to the masjid, he fell again and at thesame spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home.

At home he, once again, changed his clothes, made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid. On his way to the masjid, he met a man holding a lamp. He asked the man of his identity and the man replied 'I saw you fall twice on your way to the masjid, so I brought a lamp so I can light your way.'

The first man thanked him and the two where on their way to the masjid. Once at the masjid, the first man asked the man with the lamp to come in and pray Fajr with him. The second man refused.The first man asked him a couple more times and, again, the answer was the same.

The first man asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray. he man replied, I am Shaitan.' The man was shocked at this reply.Shaitan went on to explain, I saw you on your way to the masjid and it was I who made you fall.

When you went home, cleaned yourself and went back on your way to the masjid, Allah forgave all of your sins. I made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to stay home, but rather, you went back on your way to the masjid. Because of that, Allah forgave all the sins of the people of your household. I was afraid if i made you fall one more time, then Allah will forgive the sins of the people of your village, soi made sure that you reached the masjid safely.'
So do not let Shaitan benefit from his actions.

nice quotes

Everyone has a talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads."


"Opportunities are usually disguised by hard work, so most people don't recognize them."

some song i got from some scrapbook in orkut

You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin
One storm could come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You could chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like i think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This worlds gone crazy
And it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all you heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like i think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singin'
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway

beautiful love story....

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 year's old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.

The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"

The Son replied "It is a crow".

After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?"

The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow".

After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rdtime, "What is this?"

At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with are buff. "It's a crow, a crow".

A little after, the Father again asked his Son the 4th time, "What is this?" This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"

A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born.

On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:-
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated. I rather felt affection for my innocent child".

While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23times and when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.

Moral of the story:If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word; be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them.

Be considerate to your parents.

From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me. They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the Society today".

Say a prayer to Allah swt, "I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave. When I am old, I do not want my child to repeat the words when the crow perches on my window".

hadith

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah (SAW)

As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu

`Abdullah bin Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (PBUH) used to say: "Allahumma inni as'alukal-huda wat-tuqawal-`afaafa wal-ghina (O Allah! I ask You for guidance, piety, chastityand self-sufficiency) ".[Muslim].

Commentary: This Hadith contains four words, the meanings andimplications of which constitute its essence. These words are guidance,piety (fear of Allah), chastity and sufficiency. Guidance here meansguidance at every turn of life and steadfastness on the path of truth.Fear of Allah is the greatest means of piety and strongest defenseagainst sins. Chastity is the state of being free from what is unlawful.Self-sufficiency is the antonym of poverty and here it means theself-contentment. What it implies is that one should not care for whatpeople possess. In view of all these qualities, the prayer of theProphet (PBUH) mentioned in this Hadith is very comprehensive andvaluable.

how smart is ur right foot

How Smart is Your Right Foot???

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind and you will keep
trying at
least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you
can't.

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and
make clockwise circles.


2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand.

YOUR FOOT WILL CHANGE DIRECTION ! . ! . !


I told you so.....And there's nothing you can do about it.

Make sure you pass this on to your friends...they
won't be able to believe it either!!
