Genius means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an un habitual way.

Friends can overprotect you, Forces may Frustrate you, enemies may obstruct you Families may discourage you, But you... & only you can defeat yourself. Believe in Allah and yourself only. If you'd trust on anyone else you surely will let yourself down. STOP Just remember-Allah is watching you. If we could get arrested for being a Muslim, would the police have enough evidence to bring us in? Why is it so hard to tell the truth but yet so easy to tell a lie? Why are we so sleepy in mosque but right when the prayer is over, we suddenly wake up? Why is it so hard to talk about Allah but yet so easy to talk about nasty stuff? Why is it so boring to look at a Islamic Article but yet so easy to look at a nasty one? Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail but yet we forward all of the nasty ones? Why are the mosque's getting smaller, but yet the dance clubs are getting larger? Do you give up? Think about it .... Are you going to forward this, or delete it? Just remember-Allah is watching you. Prayer Wheel, Let's see the devil stop this one! Here's what the wheel is all about. When you receive this, say a prayer for the person that sent it to you.... There are no costs, but wonderful rewards.... Let's continue praying for one another. As we look at this article we realise how true the Messenger (P.B.U.H) was these signs were prophesized 1400 years ago!!! Take a look.... Now this is scary!!!! * Camels will no longer be used as a means of transport; * People will ride on saddles that aren't saddles (cars?) * The distance on earth will become short; * Horses will not be used in wars; * Muslims will defeat the Byzantines which will end with the conquest of Constantinople Istanbul;

* The Jews will gather again to live in Bilad Canaan; * Very tall buildings will be built; * The disappearance of knowledge and the appearance of ignorance, with much killing; * Adultery will become widespread, and the drinking of wine will become common; * The number of men will decrease and the number of women will increase until there are 50 women to be looked after by one man. * Islam will become worn out like clothes are, until no one will know what fasting, prayer, charity and rituals are; * Allah will send a disease to fornicators that will have no cure (Aids?); * People will begin to believe in the stars and reject AL QADAR (THE DIVINE DECREE OF DESTINY); * Men will pass by people's graves and say: "Would that I were in his place"; (large amount of suicidal deaths?) * The Euphrates will uncover a mountain of gold for which people will fight over (the river of Alfurat that lies near Syria); * Two large groups of people will fight one another, and there will be many casualties; they will both be following the same religion World War II?); * Approximately 30 DAJJALS will appear, each one claiming to be the messenger of ALLAH; * Earthquakes will increase; * Time will pass quickly; * Afflictions will appear; * Killing will increase; * Wealth will increase; * Women will be wearing clothes but not wearing clothes * THE PROPHET (saw) SAID: "IF MY UMMAH BEARS 15 TRAITS (QUALITIES), TRIBULATION WILL FOLLOW IT." (DAY OF JUDGEMENT) SOMEONE ASKED,"WHAT ARE THEY O MESSENGER OF ALLAH?" HE (saw) SAID: * When any gain is shared out only among the rich, with no benefit to the poor; * When a trust becomes a means of making profit; * When paying ZAKKAT becomes a burden; * When voices are raised in the mosque; * When the leader of a people is the worst of them; When people treat a man with respect because what he may do; * When much wine is drunk; red wind or the earth swallow them, or to be transformed into animals."

* 'IMRAN IBN HUSAYN SAID: "THE PROPHET (AS) SAID, 'SOME PEOPLE OF THIS UMMAH WILL BE SWALLOWED BY THE EARTH, TRANSFORMED INTO ANIMALS, AND SOME WILL BE BOMBARDED WITH STONES'. ONE OF THE MUSLIMS ASKED, WHEN WILL THAT BE O MESSENGER Of ALLAH?' HE SAID, 'WHEN SINGERS AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS WILL BECOME POPULAR, AND MUCH WINE IS DRUNK.'" THE GREATER SIGNS OF THE HOUR The Quran will disappear in one night, even from the people's hearts, and no Ayyah will be left on earth. (Some groups of old people will be left who will say: "We heard of fathers' saying "LAILLAHA ILLA ALLAH" so we repeat it); * The appearance of the MAHDI; * The appearance of the DAJJAL (Anti Christ); * The appearance of Ya'juj and Ma'juj(biblical Gog and Magog); * Isa (Jesus) will come during the time of Dajjal; * The rising of the sun from the west; * The destruction of the Ka'ba and the recovery of its treasures; * The smoke.

No curse or whatever may happen to you (Insha-Allah) 2- Forward this message to a number of people you know, if your are convinced.

depressed?

Why a nun can be covered from head to toe and she's respected for devoting herself to God, but then a Muslim woman does that, she's considered "oppressed"? Why a Jew can grow a beard and he's just practicing his faith, and when a Muslim does that, he's an extremist? When a western woman stays at home to look after the house and kids she is sacrificing herself and doing good for the household, but when a Muslim woman does so; she "needs to be liberated"? Why is it that when a child dedicates himself to a subject, he has potential, and when a child dedicates himself to Islam, he is hopeless? When a Christian kills someone, religion is not mentioned, (i.e. Ireland and the IRA) but when a Muslim is charged with a crime, it's Islam that goes to trial? But then again, why is it after all that, Islam is still the fastest growing religion in the world??????

Check this out, Very interesting findings of Dr. Tariq Al Swaidan might grasp your attention:

Dr.Tarig Al Swaidan discovered some verses in the Holy Qur'an That mention one thing is equal to another, i.e. men are equal to women. Although this makes sense grammatically, the astonishing fact is that the number of times the word man appears in the Holy Qur'an is 24 and number of times the word woman appears is also 24, therefore not only is this phrase correct in the grammatical sense but also true mathematically, i.e. 24 = 24. Upon further analysis of various verses, he discovered that this is consistent throughout the whole Holy Qur'an where it says one thing is like another. See below for astonishing result of the words mentioned number of times in Arabic Holy Qur'an Dunia (one name for life) 115.

Aakhirat (one name for the life after this world) 115 Malaika (Angels) 88 . Shayteen (Satan) 88 Life 145 ...... Death 145 Benefit 50 . Corrupt 50 People 50 .. Messengers 50 Eblees (king of devils) 11 . Seek refuge from Eblees 11 Museebah (calamity) 75 . Thanks 75 Spending (Sadaqah) 73 . Satisfaction 73 People who are mislead 17 . Dead people 17 Muslimeen 41 . Jihad 41 Gold 8 . Easy life 8 Magic 60 . Fitnah (dissuasion, misleading) 60 Zakat (Taxes Muslims pay to the poor) 32 ... Barakah (Increasing or blessings of wealth) 32

Mind 49 . Noor 49 Tongue 25 . Sermon 25 Desite 8 . Fear 8 Speaking publicly 18 . Publicising 18 Hardship 114 .... Patience 114 Muhammed 4 . Sharee'ah (Muhammed's teachings) 4 Man 24. Woman 24 And amazingly enough have a look how many times the following words appear: Salat 5, Month 12, Day 365, Sea 32, Land 13 Sea + land = 32+13= 45 Sea = 32/45*100 = 71.11111111% Land = 13/45*100 = 28.88888889% Sea + land = 100.00%

Modern science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111% of the earth, while the land covers 28.889%. Is this a coincidence? Question is that Who taught Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) all this? Reply automatically comes in mind that ALMIGHTY ALLAH taught him.

POINT TO THINK If we could shrink the earths population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:- There would be: 57 Asians, 21 Europeans,14 from the Western Hemisphere, both North and South and 8 Africans. 52 would be Female, 48 would be Male. 70 would be Non-white, 30 would be White. 70 would be Non Christian (20 Muslims), 30 would be Christian. 6 People would possess 59% of entire worlds wealth and all 6 would be from the USA. 80 would live in sub-standard housing, 70 would be unable to read, 50 would suffer from malnutrition, 1 would be near death, 1 would be near birth, 1 (Yes ,only 1) would have a college education, 1 would own a computer, When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and

education becomes glaringly apparent. The following is also something to ponder . . . If you Woke up this morning with more health than illness . . . You are more blessed than the Million who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the Danger of Battle, the Loneliness of Imprisonment, the Agony of Torture, or the Pangs of Starvation you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you can attend a Mosque/Church without fear of Harassment, Arrest, Torture, or Death you are more blessed than Three Billion people in the world. If you have Food in the Refrigerator, Clothes on your back, a Roof overhead and a Place to Sleep. You are Richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the Bank, in your Wallet, and Spare Change in a dish some place..you are among the Top 8% of the worlds wealthy. If your parents are still alive and still married..you are very rare, even in the United States and Canada. If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful..you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can hold someones hand, hug them, or even much them on the shoulder..you are blessed because you can offer healing touch. If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more Blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all. Always be in search of truth and thankful to creator.

An Insect Falls in Your Cup of Coffee, what would you do?

Here is one analysis:

1. The Englishman: Throws the cup away and walks out of the cafe.

2. The American: Takes the insect out and drinks the coffee.

3. The Chinese: Eats the insect and throws the coffee away.

4. The Besieged Palestinian: Drinks the coffee and the insect.

*Screams that his security is in peril.

*Accuses the Palestinians of throwing the insect in his coffee.

*Alleges that Hizbullah, the Syrians and the Iranians advocate attacks with weapons of mass insects.

* Relates this vicious attack to Islamic Terrorism, Attacks on Human Rights, Anti- Semites, the Holocaust, the Diaspora, the Discrimination against Noah's Ark.

*Commands Arafat to immediately stop insects from flying in the air or landing in coffee cups.

* Re-occupies the West Bank and Gaza, razes houses, cuts off water and electricity, humiliates and terrorizes civilians, kills or maims anyone in his way.

*Imposes more military aid on the American.

* Demands a 100-year, billion-dollar, loan from America to buy another cup of coffee.

*Claims life-time free coffee from the cafe as compensation.

Missed Calls Among the marvels of modern technology is also the ability to track the missed calls which were made by our friends and foes and the likes. We do not get a good nights sleep, unless we have returned the calls of those who matter. We don't let any call go unanswered as long as we know that it matters. Don't we? But how about the calls of "hay-yaa al-as-salaah and hayyaa al-al falah" made from the neighbourhood house of our master, the Almighty Allah.? Those calls are made five times a day and many a times they all go unanswered. We do not either respond!!! Nor do we respect these missed calls. Do they matter? Everybody can tell, if these really matter. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but surely in the hereafter. Let us look at ourselves. Can we afford to let these calls of the muezzin be missed, day after day, after day. The call from our cherisher, sustainer and the ultimate master. Just think about it. Next time one hears this call, just ask yourself how good a nights sleep can I have by missing those calls from the house of Allah Think about it....the answer may come from the inner heart.
