CORRECTION
In our last newsletter - dated Friday, 30 MARCH 2007 - we quoted a story ‘Judging people by appearances!’ Although it had a good moral to learn from, however, thanks to our readers’ feedback, we learnt that the story was not true. It was a hoax email sent to us. Learn more about the story by following this link:

SUNNAH, PRACTISES OF MUHAMMAD SAW

THE MESSAGE
SPECIAL FOCUS – RABIUL AWWAL
About two months after returning from Makkah for pilgrimage, the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam became ill but he was still able to perform his prayers in the Masjid and give directives to the companions. His health was deteriorating day by day. At the last moment he asked Abu Bakr RA to lead prayers in the Masjid. Every member of his family and every companion was worried about his condition. It was on Monday 12th Rabi'AI-Awwal, the year 11 A.H., he left for his heavenly abode, at the age of sixty three years.

Guidance to follow
Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam as a man had already died, but as a Prophet he left behind him a legacy in the form of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. He stressed the urgent need to hold firmly to these two sources during his Farewell speech in the valley of Arafat. If people hold fast to them, they will never go astray.

The teachings he left for us if put into practice in their true spirit and proper way will bring a happy life in this world and besides the definite rewards that will be received by those who believed in them in the life after death. In this sense, Islam is a worldly religion which cares first for the worldly affairs of humanity. The hereafter is merely a continuation of the worldly life. It is difficult to indicate that man can be saved in the hereafter without being saved in this world. The safe way is to follow the way shown to us by the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam. When his wife, Aishah RA, was asked by a companion about the Prophet’s daily conduct, 'Aishah RA replied that the conduct of the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam is the Qur'an which is the guidance from Allah and Muhammad was given authority by Allah to interpret it. That is why his conduct is exemplary of human conduct. read more

DUA (PRAYER)
Rabbi inny limaa anzalta ilayya min kharin faqeer. O Lord! I am needy towards thee for whatever good thou may choose to grant to me.

Benefit: This is the Dua of Moosa AS. It eliminates poverty. Moosa AS assisted the weak, not asking for anything in return for his services.

AND… FOR THE KIDDIES
The Boy and the Nettles (wild plant)
A BOY was stung by a Nettle. He ran home and told his Mother, saying, "Although it hurts me very much, I only touched it gently." "That was just why it stung you," said his Mother. "The next time you touch a Nettle, grasp it boldly, and it will be soft as silk to your hand, and not in the least hurt you."

MORAL: Whatever you do, do with all your might.

RECIPE
SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN STICKS
1 Kg chicken wings - 1 ½ tsp ginger/garlic - 1 Tbsp honey 2 Tbsp oil - 1 Tbsp ghee - 2 Tbsp Worcester sauce or H.P sauce - 2 tsp lemon juice - season with salt, pepper and a dash of chilli.

Method
Chicken wings can be washed and drained dry and used just as they are. In a large bowl combine all the ingredients and mix well, allowing the marinade to cover all the flesh. Leave overnight or for at least 12 hours. Whilst marinating turn the meat once or twice so that the marinade sticks all over. Spread out in a lightly greased baking pan, cover with foil and bake in moderate oven 180C for 30 min. Remove foil from, turn and baste chicken well with juices in pan and bake uncovered till meat is cooked.

COOKING TIP
Grating is defined as to reduce to fragments, shreds, or powder by rubbing against an abrasive surface. In most cases this means taking the ingredient and using a cooking utensil, such as a grater, to shred the ingredient.

A THOUGHT
Along with your faults, the mirror shows you your beauty and perfection. Thus it is fair and encouraging. When you smile at it, it tells you what a healthy habit you have.

THE SMILE
Two boys are playing football in Central Park when one is attacked by a rabid dog. Thinking quickly, the other boy rips off a board of the nearby fence, wedges it down the dog's collar and twists, breaking the dogs neck.

A reporter who was strolling by sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy. "Young Giants Fan Saves Friend from Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook. "But I'm not a Giants fan," the little hero replied.

"Sorry, since we are in New York, I just assumed you were." said the reporter and starts again. "Little Jets Fan Rescues Friend from Horrific Attack" he continued writing in his notebook.

"I'm not a Jets fan either," the boy said.

"I assumed everyone in New York was either for the Giants or Jets. What team do you root for?" the reporter asked.

"I'm a Cowboys fan," the child said.

The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes, "Little Redneck Maniac Kills Beloved Family Pet."
