Dear Readers, Assalamo Alaikum Warahmatullah I feel immensely pleasured in presenting the Jan'2010 issue of bakhabar before you. Since, last fortnight witnessed the start of Islamic New Year and English New Year as well; this edition of Bakhabar is a dedicated New Year edition. Utmost efforts had been put to make it memorable and worth collecting. Apart from articles and regular columns, additional information which is viable for day to day purpose had also been added. This edition would not have been possible without the hard efforts of Brother Seraj Akram and Sister Ashiya Parveen. I would heartily thank and congratulate them on the successful publication of Jan' 2010 issue. It's a time to cherish what we achieved in the last year, and more importantly to realize our shortcomings in the year that passed and try to overcome them in the coming year. Time is flying so fast, sometimes we aren't still over from celebrative mood of the start of a new year that it comes to an end. I often wonder, whether the span of our life is enough to fulfill our aspirations and meet all that is expected from us. And the answer is yes..! Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) caused the greatest impact on mankind that was ever witnessed, all in a span even lesser than most of us get. In the upcoming year we shall try to be more productive for our community and nation and contribute even more to make the lives better for our fellow human beings. Let's pledge to impart education to at least one poor Muslim child, be more involved in the happiness and sufferings of our relatives and neighbors and try to be a better Muslim. Although our challenges are great, each of us has the courage and determination to rise and to face them. Syed Shibli Manzoor

Back from Hajj .. Back to the Old Routine ?

Asma bint Shameem In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate "May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You" Praise be to Allah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Back from Hajj .. Back to the Old Routine ? This is a reminder for all those people who performed Hajj . Whether you did it this year or many years ago And even for those who didnt.. YET. SO. you are back from Hajj, Alhamdulillaah. Everything went well and now you are back. Back to the same old routine, the same old hustle bustle of life, the job, the kids. Back to the same old you. Huh?? Wait a second. back to the same old you? No, but that cant be You cant go back to the same old you. You promised Allah you will change you will improve for the better..you will do all you can to be a better Muslim, to be a stronger believer. Don't you remember how you felt when you saw the Magnificent Kaaba for the first time with all its glory and splendor. you were awed . Speechless, tears silently rolling down without you even realizing, You trembled.and you promised . Don't you remember how you cried in Arafaat, how you beseeched Allah, spreading out your hands in utter humility, begging Him and imploring Him to forgive you.to give you just one more chance And Dont you remember the strength and resolve with which you threw the pebbles at the Jamaraat, determined to give up all your bad habits, resolute to do all goodstaying firm on the Straight path ? Don't you remember the beautiful days in Mina, the peaceful night in Muzdalifa . all the Ibadaat, the Tawaafs, the duas, the tears, the Tauba ???!! Surely, you couldn't have forgotten that? Then don't let the pomp and glitter of this Dunya take you away from all that. Don't let the hustle bustle of every day routine make you forget your promises and resolve. Remember that out of 1.25 billion people Allah invited you yes YOU to His Glorious House and honored YOU and blessed YOU with Hajj. And it was only because of His Mercy that He enabled you to go. For Wallaahi, if it was not His Will, you would never be able to go. So why not be a thankful slave of His?? Why not spend the rest of your life in His submission, surrendering to Him, obeying His commandments and staying away from His prohibitions? So fear Allah in all that you do and always be mindful of Him. Don't let the Shaytaan weaken your resolve. Say NO to those temptations, turn down chances of all that's Haraam Stay away from all your old bad habits and build on your good ones. Be upright in your character; resist the urge to cheat, lie and backbite. Spend in the path of Allah and continue with the daily recitation of the Quran, pondering over the meanings and use those Words of Allah to change for the better. And no matter what you dodo not, do not let the snooze button keep you away from Salaah. Hold your head up high, wearing that Hijaab or Jilbaab.or sporting that beard. proud to be a Muslim, Alhamdulillaah. Remember, it's the mark of a believer. Don't let people or so called friends talk you out of it. And if they object, look them straight in the eye and say, Its the command of Allaah. Keep in mind that Allaah Subhaanahu wa Taala gave you another chance.just like you asked Him. You begged for forgiveness and He forgave you and purified you just like the day you were born. So be thankful and make the most of it. Your life from now is like a blank piece of paper, with nothing written on it. And the pen that you would use to write on it, is in your hands. So be careful what you write. Because.you never know.. You might never have the chance to have your piece of paper blank again Therefore, race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden as wide as heaven and earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His Messengers. Such is the Favor of Allah; He gives it to whom He wills. Allah is the Owner of great favor. (al-Hadeed: 21) -

10 things that nullify one's Islam

Just as the bearing witness to the two testimonies and acting upon them are the conditions for the validity of Islam, there are beliefs and actions that also nullify one's Islam. Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab summarized them in 10 points (some additional verses have been added) as to what nullifies Islam: 1. Shirk (associating partners in the worship of Allah). Verily, Allah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners in worship with Him, but He forgives whom He pleases other sins than that. (Qur'an, 4:116) Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the wrongdoers, there are no helpers. (Qur'an, 5:72) 2. Setting up an intermediary between oneself and Allah. The one who prays to, seeks intercession from and puts his reliance on intermediaries has blasphemed according to the consensus of the scholars. And they worship other than Allah that which neither harms them nor benefits them, and they say, 'These are our intercessors with Allah.' Say, 'Do you inform Allah of something He does not know in the heavens or on the earth?' Exalted is He above all that which they associate as partners with Him. (Qur'an, 10:18) 3. Not considering polytheists as disbelievers or having a doubt concerning their disbelief or considering their way as correct. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. (Qur'an, 2:256) 4. Believing that some guidance other than the guidance of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is more complete or that another's judgment is better than the Prophet's (is also an act of disbelief). This would be like the one who prefers the rule and law of false gods (be they human or otherwise) to the Prophet's rule and law. But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (Muhammad, peace be upon him) as a judge in all disputes between them, and find no resistance against your decisions, and accept (the decisions) with full submission. (Qur'an, 4:65) 5. Disliking anything the Prophet (peace be upon him) brought, even if one does'nt act upon it, is an act of disbelief. It is not fitting for the believing man nor for the believing woman, that whenever Allah and His Messenger have decided any matter, that they should have any other opinion. (Qur'an, 33:36) 6. Ridiculing or joking about any part of the religion of the Messenger (peace be upon him) or its rewards or its punishments. The evidence for this is in the Words of Allah: Say: Was it Allah, or His signs or His Messenger that you were mocking? Make no excuse, you have disbelieved after you had believed. (Qur'an, 9:65-66) 7. Performing magic. This includes those magical incantations that make one love or hate another person. Allah says in the Qur'an: But neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) until they had said, 'We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning such magic from us).' (Qur'an, 2:102) 8. Assisting and supporting polytheists against Muslims. 9. Believing that some people are permitted to be free from the Law of Muhammad (peace be upon him), in the same way that Khidr was free from the law of Moses (peace be upon him). 10. Turning away from the religion of Allah, not learning it or applying it. Allah says: And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the signs of his Lord, then he turns aside therefrom? Verily, We shall exact retribution from the sinners. (Qur'an, 32:22)

A Small House
How many of us, long before even getting married start planning on what kind of house we want to live in? We all have an idea of the perfect little cottage that we'll Insha'Allah own one day. We mentally design and decorate our house. Once that dream is achieve, don't we take care of it? Of course! We clean it, rearrange it, and rebuild it so that it is comfortable and solid. Would anyone think of buying a house to later destroy it little by little? Sounds like a crazy idea, well let us analyze what we do with our houses. Allah (swt) in His extreme bounty gave each and everyone a house to cultivate: our body. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: He who does not have within himself anything of the Qur'an is like a house in ruins.( reported by al-Tirmithi ) Indeed without the Qur'an our houses are empty and cold for the Qur'an is what makes your blood travel furiously and keep your heart pumping. Therefore we most thrive to have to learn and read as much as possible the HOLY QURAN. We need to realize the illusion of this world. Realize how we get trap in routine. Most of us go to school and work, chill out with our friends (12 hours gone in a day). Once we get home we watch t.v, talk on the phone and sleep (another 8-9 hours gone!). What time have we left to work on ourselves and on our deen? Close to none. We would go out of our way to have the perfect job, the perfect house. While the perfect deen is at our fingertips and we just ignore it! AstagfirUllah! The Qur'an is the word of Allah. It is thought the Qur'an and the sunnah of the prophet (saw) that we may beautify our homes, our lives, and our hearts in the sight of Allah! The messenger of Allah (saw) said: Allah (swt) does not look at your images and your wealth, but looks at your hearts and deeds. (Reported by Muslim). If you see that your day does not allow you anytime for your deen then it's time to reschedule. Islam is the balance way of life; so let's make time for our Rabb otherwise our life is lacking its primal essence. Once we start reading the Qur'an we must understand that it's not enough to learn it by heart. Rather we have to comprehend the wisdom behind the words and live by it. Because knowing something and not putting it in practice is a great waste. When the Quran is read, listen to it with attention, and hold your peace: that ye may receive Mercy.(7:204). And truly is an immense blessing to be from the guided ones! This is saying from experience, for I have no more wisdom then anyone, we must be men and women of understanding. This is the best way to live. Otherwise it is easy to stray. Once we stray away from the right path, it's difficult to go back. {Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two- thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others traveling through the land, seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah's Presence, - yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah. for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful}(73:20) Taken From www.islamway.com

The art of producing a great CV

Dr. Mohammad C. Jamali EMPLOYERS need to recruit the best staff, and Curriculum Vitae is a crucial part of the selection process. A good CV gets you to interview. Submit a poor CV to an employer and the chances are that it will end up in the rejects file. Competition for jobs is increasing dramatically in the recession. In the past, when jobs were plentiful, poor applications might still get an interview. Now applicants must submit excellent CVs. So what makes a good CV? Of a relatively several small sample surveyed, there was a very good response rate, which confirms the high interest in this subject. The analysis of the data by research consultancy CRG Research found the responses to be wide-ranging. Considering the similarity of the professional backgrounds of the respondents in HR and recruitment, this shows the discursive nature of the topic and also the importance of individual preferences across the survey sample. Maybe this confirms what many experts have said over the years - that there is no such thing as the perfect CV. Factors seen as positive features of a CV included: Clarity of information making the CV easy to follow Good visual presentation and language Information in reverse chronological order and a logical flow Good grammar and spelling; Use of bullet points rather than blocks of text Most important information should be on the first page; Experience, achievements and skills should stand out Succinct factual information on no more than two pages Information shaped specifically for the particular application: The factors seen as negative were: Too much out-of-date or unnecessary information Not enough information about present and recent roles; Poor contact details making it difficult to invite the applicant for interview quickly, especially in working hours Lies, discrepancies, sloppiness and meaningless information Poor grammar and layout CVs that are too long and over- the-top graphics and formatting Job application is competitive these days and consists of a series of stages. The aim of a CV is not to get you the job but to stimulate interest and get you to interview. The feedback from both employers and recruitment consultancies in the survey indicates the importance of maximizing the CV. But because there is no such thing as the perfect CV, it requires time and effort. So the advice must be that it is better to make a small number of high-quality applications that get you interviews, rather than throwing merely average CVs out to the job market like confetti that get you nowhere.

Put a second thought

Ashiya Parveen, Patna Backward, impoverished, misled! What else I can say to give vent to my grievance I feel for my brethren all around the world. Every other day there comes a news (including the fabricated ones) of heart-wrenching brutality in the name of jihad. Large chunk of our population from all across the globe is indulged in the massacre of humanity. But I feel bewildered when I try to look for rationality in their deeds: to whom they are retaliating; what causes they want to win; to whom they represent; and what scriptures they follow and the list is exhaustive. I am afraid that these brothers of mine may not be able to douse such igniting wail of thousands of souls. I don't have Quran and Hadith at my finger tips. But, fortunately, whatever I have read as an ordinary person I can state it confidently that our Exalted Allah forbids us from spreading faction (fasaad) on the earth and asks us to have patience over the deeds of the infidels. I am unable to fathom that what thirst had been and are being quenched by taking the lives of the innocent people or by creating a momentous unrest in the caves of the infidels. Yes, it is subsequently corresponding to the catastrophic disasters that have shattered the foundation of the Islamic regions still whining and scratching the ground to omit the footmark of the foreign intruders. Had they been rational and sensible a bit, God's grandeur would have emanated from north to south and from east to west. Therefore I urge them to once evaluate the outcome their deeds have brought by far- Have you been able to bring the culprit of Islam, still wandering escort free, to justice? - Have you been able to cause a shift in the graph of Muslim world in terms of education, poverty, employment, and above all power? - Can't you see that your gun-point have shrewdly been turned to your own men? - Haven't you caused restlessness to the lives of the thousands of people across the globe? - Haven't you made the character of every other Muslim suspicious? Are we such a hapless creature of Thy? Are we left with only violence and (God forbid) suicidal attacks? No I don't think so. We have been His supreme creature and our Scripture most rational and sensible that let us comprehend the mystery of the earth, nature, and life. Still it is we who are wandering recklessly. We have made ourselves the subject to irreparable loss, unbearable pain, and the vehement agony. There is another part of the coin as well. There are people making most of this turmoil. They encourage the poor, rural, and half-literate youth to cast their lives into an unending asymmetric warfare. They remain unseen to the world and keep throwing more and more lives into this uneven war where nothing is certain. I ask these sponsors of jihad, had they invested half of their effort and wealth for the welfare of their downtrodden brothers, they would have given cause to be more articulaive, more sensible, and more dominating. Still we can undertake the measures to play their ball in the same court. Even though these infidels coined the word terrorism, they can't strangle the neck of becoming-highly notorious groups or parties. They don't mull over the ruin, the turmoil brought about these parties in states to states and countries to countries. Have you ever thought, why? Because they belong to the mainstream. They enjoy the support of a strong and unified presence in the channels of world organizations. They are not superior to us rather we have turned ourselves inferior to them. Once we get united to give voice to the noble cause of Islam, the world will be ours. But first, we will have o raise ourselves above our own demographic, ethnic, linguistic, and any other differences. Second, we will have to let our brethren release themselves from the enigma they are living with and dying for. Third, we will have to work unitedly for the welfare of our brothers and sisters so that they can comprehend the conundrum of the infidels and win over them in political and economic circumference. Then I am sure that the world will witness a renaissance of Islam.

Muslim Literacy Rise in 7 States

It is contrary to common knowledge that Muslims are more literate in seven Indian states than Hindus and believe it or not, one of these states is Gujarat, where they were killed in thousands in 2002. The credit for finding out this data goes to a new book authored by a demographer Mahendra K. Premi. At an all-India level, while the literacy rate of the male population for all religious groups is 75.3 per cent and of Hindus is 76.2 per cent, it is 67.6 per cent for Muslims, says the book Population of India in New Millennium: Census 2001. In Gujarat while Hindu males are having a literacy rate of 79.1 per cent, Muslim males are doing fairly well with a rate of 82.9 per cent. Again, in this state, 63.5 per cent Muslim females are literate compared to 56.7 per cent Hindus. In Andhra Pradesh, while the Hindu male literacy rate is 69.5 per cent, the Muslims are having a higher rate of 76.5 per cent. And, here also the Muslim females are leading the Hindu females with literacy rate of 59.1 per cent against the Hindu females of whom 49.2 per cent are literate. Mahendra Premi's book reveals that both Muslim males and females have got better literacy rate in seven states Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Tamil Nadu.

America to collapse in 2010

Russian Professor Igor Panarin says that events are continuing to confirm his doomsday prediction first made over 10 years ago, that the United States will completely collapse like the Soviet Union before the end of 2010, and warns that the chaos could begin to unfold in as little as two months. Panarin, doctor of political sciences and professor of the Russian Diplomatic Academy Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told journalists during the unveiling of his new book that President Obama has done nothing to forestall the fast approaching crisis. "Obama is "the president of hope", but in a year there won't be any hope," said Panarin. "He's practically another Gorbachev - he likes to talk but hasn't really managed to do anything. Gorbachev at least had been a secretary of a regional communist party administration, whereas Obama was just a social worker. His mentality is totally different. He's a nice person and talks nicely - but he's not a leader and will take America to a crash. When Americans understand that - it will be like a bomb explosion.

Dubai's prime companies declared junk

International ratings agency Standard & Poor's said it had cut the credit ratings of six Dubai government-linked companies. S&P said it had taken the move after the likelihood of extraordinary support from the Dubai government appeared "low" after the emirate indicated it would not guarantee the debt of Dubai World currently at $59 billion, its flagship conglomerate. The six Dubai government-related entities (GREs) lowered to junk status were DP World, DIFC Investments, Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai Multi Commodities Centre Authority, Dubai Holding Commercial Operations Group and Emaar Properties PJSC. Their credit ratings remain under surveillance and could be downgraded further, the agency said.

Obama's new strategy points to an expansions o f A m e r i c a ' s w a r a g a i n s t Pa k i s t a n

Obama's Afghan strategy is quickly turning into an official proclamation of war on Pakistan. 'What happens in Pakistan ... will do more to determine the outcome in Afghanistan than any increase in troops or shift in strategy,' said Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Opening a hearing on Afghan strategy, Kerry, a Democrat, said that it is the 'presence of al-Qaida in Pakistan, its direct ties to and support from the Taliban in Afghanistan and the perils of an unstable, nuclear-armed Pakistan that drive our mission'. Sen. Richard Lugar, the committee's top Republican, chimed in, saying the president and his administration 'must justify their plan not only on the basis of how it will affect Afghanistan, but also on how it will impact our efforts to promote a much stronger alliance with Pakistan.' Lugar said 'it is not clear how an expanded military effort in Afghanistan addresses the problem of Taliban and al-Qaida safe havens across the border in Pakistan.' Both Gates and Mullen sought to underscore the threat that al-Qaida poses in Pakistan, which maintains its own arsenal of nuclear weapons. Gates said he considered the dangers to be greater than they were 18 months ago because al-Qaida has become 'deeply involved' with Taliban forces operating inside Pakistan that are trying to destabilize the government there. Mullen said al-Qaida's pursuit of nuclear weapons and interest in Pakistan is 'extraordinarily dangerous.

BLISS OF HAJJ
Hajj is a Jihad in the way of Allah where a Hajji fighting with his soul and struggling with his life-saved money steps in the Holy City Makkah for the pleasure of Allah Almighty reciting Labbaik Allahhumma Labbaik to get his mistakes and sins warded off. The month (1430H) of elegance, blessing and sacredness has concluded with ease and comfort. Hajjis have returned or are at their way back to their homes satisfied with what they have done and achieved during their sanctimonious stay in Makkah where simply a prayer in Haram is equivalent to one hundred thousands rewards. Every obligatory deed besides its normal benefit has a special effect on one's life. Salat (Nimaz) restrains from shameful and unjust deeds (Ankabout/45), Fast produces piety (Baqarahl183), Zakat multiplies wealth if given seeking the countenance of Allah(Rome/39) but as for Hajj Allah says, That they may witness things that are of benefit to them (Hajl28). However, wealth spent on Hajj brings forth fruits of blessing while the same done for materialistic satisfaction is a loss of money and sometime it causes insolvency. The period passed in Haram and at Hajj sites is unequivocally unmatched with the time ever-spent anywhere in the globe. Their handraising in the house of Allah with tears pouring down in fear make the surrounding too pleasant to be forgotten, and that all of them are at one direction seeking the forgiveness and pleasure of Allah, which reminds all Muslims of their living in harmony with one goal, one aim and single destination. There are two benefits of Hajj; one can be seen in life to come and the 2nd one whose visibility can be noticed in two holy places and in their after-Hajj lives. Hajj is a physical and monitory worship whose valid performance is subject to Halal money (free from lies, bribes, interest, illegal employment and lack of duty, etc), and depending on meeting with minimum Hajj requirements set forth, but the bliss of Hajj is something else which is reflected in one's life. Although there is no sign of accepted and blessed Hajj, according to the companion of the prophet (S) Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair (R) the pebbles of accepted Hajj are lifted while pebbles of unaccepted Hajj remain laying where Rami was done. The prominent Tabayi scholar Imam Mujahid has put this sign on trial and found it to be correct. Apart from that there are some statements of different scholars about the sign of accepted Hajj. Imam Hassan Basari, a well-known Tabayi scholar says, Hajj Mubroor is a Hajj that a Muslim thereafter becomes ignorant of materialistic worldly life and instead turns out to be polite for Aakhirat. (Alqura Le-qasid Ummulqura). It is fact that an incredible living-style and revolutionary changes in one's life after Hajj could be attributable to the Hajj Mabroor. An ignorant of obligatory deed becomes prompt of it and starts hating sinful actions and reprehensible activities. His life transforms into an existence rooted in righteousness and based on evil-deterrence and indecencies-prevention. The tongue becomes accustomed to the supplication and invocation of Allah, and the heart turns into Allah-fearing. The soul gets satisfied with what it has and the body becomes obedient to the secure heart fastened with divine gratification. Sense of familiarity with rights towards Allah and understanding of the rights towards the humanity develop into a solid worship consistent with full faith and absolute certainty in Him. May Allah Almighty make the Hajj a source of Allah's pleasure and forgiveness and best benchmark for the remaining period of life. -Gheyas S Mahfoz Hashmi, Jeddah (hgheys@savola.com)

Awakening Souls of the Western Orientalists

The ban on Minaret by Switzerland is a provoking step. What should the world in general and Islamic world in particular do? Against this ban there is much hue and cry in the Islamic world. The political set up of Islamic countries around the world is projecting this ban a retreat of Western Liberalism. If we see the course of Western history we find that the West always tried to save Europe from the multi-faith and multi-culture. Whether it was Spain for Muslim or Germany for the Jews. Other considers this as no to Arabianization or Islamization of Europe. The entire episode of ban on Minaret shows the approach of the European people towards the rising tide of Islam . According to an estimate around 53 million Muslims are in European nations (or 7% of the total population of Europe). The ban on Minaret reveals many designs to the present world of multi-cultural project of the west. The lesson of multiculture that put forward by the Global world shows that Europe has still to learn the art of tolerance of other religious faith and the culture of other nations. This ban made European led Global world and multi-cultural societies on stake. Where are the glorious ideas of French Revolution and American Revolution on which the west is so proud of and for the last two hundred years are trying to implant these ideas in the world by hook or crook .The Iraq was destroyed to create a multi-cultural political set in the Middle East. Afghanistan is under process of immunization from the Islamic Fundamentalist which is considered a threat to liberal world. What the west can say about this referendum of Switzerland? If the choice of Switzerland should be respected then why not the choice of the people of Islamic world? This ban questions the real values of the western civilization and reveals the dual approach . Till now the west was sermoning the East in general and Islamic world in particular about the religious tolerance of other faith. This ban proves the hollowness of western sermon of religious tolerance. Where are the pro-Western Muslim scholars who always love to criticize the every step of Islamic culture in the name of modernity? Are they going to do anything with the rising of new fascist of European? We call a system perfect if it passes the test. In the past the uni-cultural root of the west was the boosting point of the western liberal thought. The coming of the global world and Muslim march towards the west put the western liberal and modern civilization on test. The ban on the minaret by the Switzerland is just a beginning of the western reaction against the rising green crescent in the Europe drawing their inspiration from deep rooted work of early orientalists of the west. In this ban there are two lessons to learn for the European Muslims. First, the ban on Minaret shows that the western model of the liberalism based on the materialistic concept is reached on the limits and the edifice is now going to collapse. Now the duty of the Muslims are to play a constructive role to build a new model society for the Europe based on the true spirit of Islam. They have to present the true Islam to Europe leaving all sectarian versions of Islam. So, an alternate society would available to those who wish to play constructive role in building a new Europe .If they would fail this time, the history would not forgive them like the retreat of the Vienna. They have to prove that Islam spread around the world with peace not with swords as preached by the western orientalists. The second is that the reaction against the rising tide of Islam has started. The tough time is ahead. But they should not to react in the fashion which we have adopted for the centuries and lost the occasions. Now the emulating of the early Makkan life of Prophet Mohammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wassallam is waiting for the big win like Fatah Makka in the form of Europe.. They have to very polite and positive thinking. They have to work together and win the heart of the people who wish to be benefited from the teaching of Islam and life of dignity free from all sort of vices like drugs, sex, usury, pop, broken family system etc. When ever they fear they remember the verse of the Holy Quran that I have bought the life of Muslim in lieu of the Paradise. At home for the Muslim nations, there is need of rethinking the Islam in spirit of welfare of the humanity. Is Islam a minaret or the calling of the humanity towards the path of Allah? Free the Islam from the fight of the symbols and facilitate the thirsty soul towards the paradise. Let we have a better tolerant society to show the true spirit of Islam in multicultural society and not start retaliation .If we would retaliate we would provide an opportunity to the enemies of Islam and Muslims who wish that we should retaliate and prove our inability and Islam to co-exist in European model of society. Our enemies want that we should face the same course of exile which we witnessed in Spain in 15th century onwards. To justify the exile and persecution the west presented many theories questioning the co-existence ability of Islam. We have to prove them wrong. We have not to loose the vast field of Europe to reconstruct the Islamic power in this century. -Mohammad Allam, A.M.U, Aligarh, (mohammad_allam@rediffmail.com)

Consider the numbers about Indian Muslim

3 is percentage is the representation of Muslims in the Indian Administrative Services; 1.8 per cent in the IFS; 3.4 per cent in the IPS and 2.29 percentage in the Indian Army as against 23.5 percentage in domestic jobs and 17.4 per cent in construction labour workforce. Around 60 per cent Muslims in India have never attended school.0.08 is the percentage of Muslim graduates in rural areas 2.7 years in the average number of years a Muslim girl studies in school.85 per cent of rural Indiam Muslm women are unable to read or write. 4 is the percentage of Muslim examinees in class XAround one-third of Muslims in India earn less than 8 dollars (approx Rs 450 per month) Out of 100 Muslim students who start school, hardly one manages to pass class X You have two ways to react to these numbers: You could just brush them aside and be happy you are not one of the stats. Or you could pause and ask yourself: Is there any thing you can do to make a difference? If you belong to the latter category and want to be an agent of change, then join Bihar Anjuman's efforts, by going through the details of our coaching projects at http://www.biharanjuman.org/ Coaching/ RAHBAR_coaching_ projects- Patna.html http://www.biharanj uman.org/ Coaching/ RAHBAR_coaching_ projects- Darbhanga. html http://www.biharanj uman.org/ Coaching/ RAHBAR_coaching_ projects- Baghauni. html and then committing your support whichever way you like

Dadi Maa ke Nuskhe

Anaemia 1. Avoid drinking tea and coffee immediately after meals as the tannin present in these interferes in the absorption of iron from the food. 2. Take freshly prepared apple juice an hour before meals or just before retiring for the night. For proper absorption of the juice, remember the stomach should be relatively empty when you have the juice and also do not take anything for about half an hour after the juice. 3. Juice of beetroot taken 1-2 times daily is an excellent remedy for anaemia especially for children and teenagers. You may combine apple and beetroot for the juice. 4. Mix 1 tablespoon amla juice with a ripe mashed banana and eat 2-3 times a day. 5. Have a ripe banana with 1 tablespoon honey, 1-2 times a day. 6. Soak 8-10 almonds (badam) and 1 teaspoon rice overnight. Remove outer skin of almonds and grind to a fine paste. Boil with 1 cups of milk and a pinch of turmeric powder (haldi). Sweeten with sugar and drink for a few days, once a day. Soak 10-12 currants (munakas) in water overnight. Remove seeds and eat them. Have for 2-4 weeks. 7. Have spinach juice of 125 gm spinach everyday, for 2-3 weeks. 8. Foods rich in iron are - honey, almonds, bananas, apricots (khurmani), raisins (kishmish), fenugreek (methi) leaves, fenugreek seeds (methi daana), lettuce or salad leaves, onion, spinach (paalak), grapes, tomatoes, carrots, gooseberry (amla), beetroots (chokunder), apples, pomegranate (anaar).
