While his father took a more intellectual approach to spirituality, his mother emphasized love and compassion.

Amongst us, human beings, none is completely devoid of the innate feeling – even from time to time – that there is a Creating God behind this universe. Such a feeling may be frustrating and people may be prevented from responding to it by the teachings they get as a result of their belonging to a particular environment, their indulgence in earthly life and cheap pleasure naturally, the Almighty Creator should differ from us in all respects:
لَيۡسَ كَمِثۡلِهِۦ شَىۡءٌ۬ۖ
“And unto Him the like is not”(Ash-Shûrâ : 11)
Most people could not be easily induced by this sincere feeling of the existence of the Creator to follow the right path leading to Him. Thus, Allâh [God’s name in Islâm] sent Prophets and Messengers – Allâh’s prayer and peace be upon them – with Divine support in the form of miracles suitable to their environment, until the advent of the last of His Messengers,Prophet Muhammad, who emerged after the maturity of the human thinking when the age of science was immanent; Allâh supported him with the Qur’ân to be an Eternal Miracle.

Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) His Life and Times By Ali Muhammad Sallaabee.
---
The second caliph of Islam, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattâb faced more struggles than any other Muslim leader in the early onset of Islam. His life began in a time of ignorance and ended during the Golden Age of Islam. Under his leadership, the Muslim world was witnessing some of its most notable conquests in the history of Islam. The strength and resilience of Islam’s leaders were being tested, and ‘Umar ibn al-Khattâb’s true commitment to Allah shone to reveal an Islamic spirit unlike that found in any other Muslim leader. The standards by which he lived can teach us a lot about determination, hardship, and success.
This book was translated into English by Nasiruddin al-Khattab. From the Translator:
For those who would be leaders, this book offers the model of an ideal Muslim leader, one who felt responsible before Allah for the well being of all those under his rule, including his troops, women, infants, non-Muslim subjects and even animals. ‘Umar was a 'hands on' leader who kept himself informed and consulted scholars and experts before every major decision.
For the rest of us, this book offers a window into an exciting and important period of Islamic history, and it also reminds of an important lesson, that our strength comes not from wealth or money or status, but from our submission to Allah and our commitment to the path of Islam.

The sunnan also cover proper practices related to fasting, travel
- There is disagreement among scholars on whether the start of Ramadan and Eid should be based on sighting the new moon or astronomical calculations.
- The strongest view is that the Prophet instructed Muslims to fast when seeing the new moon and break fast when seeing it, indicating sighting should be the basis.
- Allaah and the Prophet knew science would progress but still mandated sighting the new moon, showing this is the Islamic method regardless of scientific advancements.
- Relying on calculations goes against the consensus of scholars and weakens following what Allaah prescribed through the Prophet. Sighting is something all people can do at all times and places.
The End of the Church Age ... and Afterfeedsheep1600
The thought that the church age would come to an end is a shocking idea to those of us who have been taught the amillennial (a-mil) or the postmillennial (post-mil) idea of the return of Christ. In both of these schools of thought, the concept that the churches and congregations would be here and would be functioning as God’s people all the way to the end of the world and the return of Christ has been thoroughly ingrained into our thinking.
However, in the churches that have been taught the premillennial (premil) idea of the return of Christ, it is amazing to note that they have been taught that there would come a time when the church age would come to an end prior to the end of the world. True, they did not use the language that there would come a time when the church age would end. However, effectively, this is what they were saying when they taught the concept that there would come a time when the believers would be raptured.
In fact, while many details of the closing events of this world’s history have been grossly misunderstood in that pre-mil concept, it is remarkable that they correctly had been given a faint glimpse of much of the Biblical outline of the events that must unfold before the world ends. A comparison of basic pre- mil teaching with the true Biblical teaching shows the following.

A madinan view on the sunnah, courtesy, wisdom, battles and history by abu mu...docsforu
This Book
Malik said, “There is only one truth. Two contradictory statements cannot both
be correct," and “Knowledge is a light which Allah places wherever He wills. It
it not much narration of ahadith.” These apparently obvious but still powerful
statements set the tone for this book which gathers together tn one volume
matters which often challenge the cosy but fallacious consensus that modern
Muslims imagine to be so safely established. The beginning is an extensive
treatment of ‘aqidah according to the People of Madinah, and an examination
of the contentious subject of bid'ah - innovation in the deen. One of the
following chapters is an exposition of the relative merits of ahadith and amdl-
the practice of the People of Madinah - an argument which is rarely heard today.
A great deal of the book is on the noble qualities of character as exemplified by
men and women who held to them under extreme political pressure, in both
wealth and poverty.
The Author
Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani 310/922 - 386/996 at 17 years old wrote his
famous Risalah in response to a request from a friend for a book with which to
“teach children the deen as they learn the Qur’an” and that work went on to
become one of the key reference works for those concerned about the school of
the People of Madinah. He lived in Qayrawan under the shi’ah tyranny of the
Fatimids, where he resolutely kept alive the ‘aqidah and teachings of the people
of the Sunnah at great risk to his own life and safety.
The Translator
Abdassamad Clarke was born in Belfast and studied in Edinburgh and Cairo.
He has translated the chapters on the Khulafa ar-Rashidun from as-Suyuti s
Tarikh al-Khulafa which is published by Ta-Ha as The Khalifahs who took the
right way. Recently he also translated the entire Arba'un an-Nawawiyyah with its
commentary which was published as The Complete Forty Hadith by Ta-Ha.
This anthology of articles by Maulana Wahiduddin
Khan is designed to illustrate the science of life
which the author has derived from one of the basic
principles of the Qur’an: “Every hardship comes
with ease.” (94:56). In his view, failure in life is a
common occurrence, but that coupled with a
positive attitude, it can be transformed into success.
Failure, on the other hand, coupled with a negative
attitude is again failure. The author gives examples
from daily life. Supported by relevant quotations
from the Qur’an and the sayings of the Prophet
Muhammad, to show that there is no end to the
possibilities of success in life for the individual who
can take a lesson from failure. He also cautions that
life’s tribulations must be faced with patience,
perseverance and compassion.
All the articles in this anthology have appeared
from time to time in Al-Risala.
The booklet contains 25 tales related to graves and the deceased:
1) The supplication of a saint lifted the torment from 560 graves.
2) An entire graveyard was forgiven through the supplication of a saint.
3) 'Umar Fārūq conversed with the people in the graves, emphasizing that only good deeds accompany the deceased.
Detailed account of Metaphysical Operations required for the The New Age, for which we had to depend on outside help.
The Time Line was altered,and the 2012 event which would have seen Earth bereft of humanity was changed completely.
These details form the the main message, the rest is about Spiritual Philosophy and the Nature and Destiny of Man.

SO SAID THE PROMISED MESSIAH (PEACE BE ON HIM)muzaffertahir9
SO SAID
THE PROMISED MESSIAH
(PEACE BE ON HIM)
PREFACE
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835 - 1908), the
Promised Messiah and Mahdi, peace be on him, was raised in
this Age to reform the world at large. The Holy Prophet
Muhammad, sallallaho alaihi wa sallam, had called him the
Hakam and Adl. He had also said that even if the Faith would
have gone to the pleiades, he would bring it back. Indeed,
he was to establish the Law of God and revive His nob le
religion. This, he did, alongwith other things, through his
writings and discourses on various occasions, especially,
sittings after the five daily prayers or exhortations after the
initiations of those who came to join his Fold.
His discourses have been collected and compiled in ten
volumes and have been named "Malfoozat". They being in
Urdu, very great need was felt that an English rendering should
also be brought out for the benefit of the English speaking
friends. That in view, a brief collection was published some
years back. Later on arrangement was made to select passages
from all the ten volumes for a bigger collection. This selection
was first published in the monthly Tahrik-i-Jadid and now it
is being presented to the readers in book form. This volume
contains selection from the first three volumes of "Malfoozat".
It is hoped that two more volumes would be soon published
which would cover the remaining seven volumes; in fact they
have already been published in the monthly Tahrik-i-Jadid.
We pray to God that He may enable all of us to benefit
from this publication. Amen.

say subhaan Allah thirty-three times, and say alhamdulilah thirty-three times, for they
are better for you than having a servant" [Agreed upon: 6318 & 6915]

hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay`in qadeer, alhamdulilah was-subhaan Allah, wallahu
akbar, wa laa hawla wa laa quwata illa billah, then said, Allahumma aghfirli or
invoked Allah, he will be answered, and if he does ablution and prays, his prayer will
be accepted" [al-Bukhaari: 1154]

sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam: "Used to, if he wishes to wash from janaabah (complete
impurity), began by washing his hands, then would do ablution as he would for salah,
then he would enter his fingers into the water, and would touch the roots of his hair
with it, then would pour (water) over his head with his palms, and then would let
water cover his entire body" [al-Bukhaari: 248]
8. Tashahhud after ablution: 'Umar bin al-Khattaab, radiallahu 'anh said: The
Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam said: "None of you perfects his
ablution, then says: Ashhadu al-Laa ilaha illa Allah, wa anna Muhammadan 'abduhu
warasooluh, except that the eight gates of paradise open for him, and for him is to
enter it from wherever he wants" [Muslim: 553]
9. Being economical with water: Anas, radiallahu 'anh said: "The Prophet, sallallahu
'alayhi wa salam used to wash with a saa'* to five amdaad, and would do ablution
with a mudd" [Agreed upon: 201 & 737]

wa salam say: "When you hear the mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer) make the adhaan,
then say what he says, and then supplicate for me, for whoever supplicates for me
once, then Allah will do so for him ten times." [Muslim : 849]
*N.B. The dua to be made after the adhaan is:
‘O Allaah, Owner of this perfect call and Owner of this prayer to be performed, bestow upon
Muhammad al-waseelah and al-fadeelah and send him upon a praised platform which You
have promised him. Verily, You never fail in Your promise.’
12. Frequent use of the siwaak (tooth stick): It is narrated on the authority of Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa
salam said: "If it weren't for causing difficulty for my nation, I would have ordered
the use of the siwaak at every prayer" [Agreed upon : 887/ 589]

be pleased with him) that the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam said: "Were the

pleased with him) that the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam said:"Shall I direct you
to that by which Allaah erases [peoples'] sins and raises them in rank?" [The people]
replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allaah." He sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam said:
"Performing the ablution thoroughly despite odds, frequently walking to the masjid,
and waiting for the prayers from one to the next, and this is a Ribat [1] for you."
[Muslim: 587]

for these things is very great.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa
salam said: "When the Iqama is pronounced for prayer, do not go to it running but
go walking with [calmness and] tranquillity. Pray however much [of the prayer] you
are in time for, and make up whatever you miss." [Agreed Upon: 1359-908]

"If any of you places something in front of him, [at least] equal [in height] to the
back of a saddle, he should pray without caring who passes [in front of him] on the
other side of it." [Muslim:1111]
Note: A sutrah can be anything a person puts in front of himself while he is praying,
such as a wall, or a long stick, and the such.
The back of a saddle is approximately two thirds of a cubit in height [so the sutrah
should be at least the same length].

Abu Zubayr that he heard Tawus say: We asked Ibn 'Abbas about al-iq3aa' [1]. He

"It is the sunnah of your Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam." [Muslim: 1198]

21. Performing the Sunan and regular non-obligatory prayers (rawaatib): It is narrated
on the authority of Umm Habeeba (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "I
heard the Messenger of Allah sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam say 'There is no Muslim
slave who prays twelve units of voluntary prayer besides the obligatory
ones to Allah every day except that Allah builds for him a house in
paradise'" [Muslim:835]

hamdu-lillaah) is charity; every tahleel (i.e. saying laa ilaaha illallaah) is
charity; every takbeer (i.e. saying Allaahu akbar) is charity; every act of
enjoining good is charity and every act of prohibiting evil is charity; and
doing two units of prayer in the forenoon suffices all that." [Muslim:1671]
23. The Night Prayer (Qiyaam al-layl): It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu 'alayhi wa
salam was asked what the best prayer is after the obligatory ones. He said: "The
best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the prayer in the middle of the
night." [Muslim: 2756]
24. The Witr ('odd') Prayer: It is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be
pleased with them both) that the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam said: "Make

goodness in his home from his prayer." [Muslim: 1822]
28. Prayer for divine guidance (Istikhaara): It is narrated on the authority of Jaabir bin
'Abd-Allaah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam used to teach us istikhaara like he used to teach us a
chapter from the Quran" [Bukhari: 1162]
29. Sitting in prayer area after dawn prayers (fajr) until the sun rises: It is narrated on
the authority of Jaabir bin Samra (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said the
