FIQH (ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE)
It is preferable to delay the Fajr, Thuhr and Maghrib Salaahs on a cloudy day, while it is Mustahab to offer Asr Salaah a bit early.

THE MESSAGE
Dispraising following whims & desires
Khutbah by Salaah Al Budair – Imam of Haram
--------------------------------------------------
The true Muslim is the one who aims for lofty goals and strives to free him from the shackles of lustful desires in search of salvation. His only concern is the hereafter and he always prepares himself for that day with righteous deeds. Allah says: “And of humankind is he who would sell himself seeking the pleasure of Allah. And Allah is full of kindness to (His) slaves.” (Al-Baqarah: 207).

A believer should not be entrapped by temptation, disgracing passion and misleading whims for that is the greatest calamity that can befall a Muslim. When it befalls a heart it destroys it, and when it befalls a society it ruins it. Aboo Barzah narrated that the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, “Indeed, what I fear for you most is the erroneous passion of your bellies and private parts and misleading whims.” (Ahmad)

Although Passion and whims are similar in cause and effect; whims have to do with uncertainty in matters of religion while passion has to do with satisfying ones lustful desires.Fellow Muslims! Allah speaks in His Glorious Book about past nations who were mightier than us and wealthier who surrendered to their passions and whims and fell into the abyss of immorality. They enjoyed the portion of Allah’s blessing and yet disobeyed Him and engaged in false talk about religion, then Allah chastised them and they did not find any protector against Him. read more

THE SMILE
One night 4 MBA students were having fun till late night and didn't study for the test which was scheduled for the next day. In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as dirty and weird as they could with grease and dirt.

They then went up to the Dean and said that they had gone out to a wedding last night and on their return the tyre of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test.

The dean was a just person so he said that you can have the re-test after 3 days. They said they will be ready by that time. On the third day they appeared before the dean. The dean said that this was a special condition that all four were required to sit in separate classrooms for the test. They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last three days.

The test consisted of 2 questions with total of 100 marks.
q. 1. Write down your name ----- (2 marks)
q. 2. which tyre burst ------- (98 marks)
