MAYYITS (FUNERALS)
13.06.07 - Mayyit of: Amina Abdus Salaam (wife of late Ml Abdus Salaam) - WILL LEAVE FROM: 7979 Capricorn Street Ext.9 Lenasia - Time: 18:00 - QABRASTAAN: Lenz - CAUSE OF DEATH: Natural

FIQH (ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE)
If all the clothing is impure, or most of it is impure, i.e. less than a quarter of it is pure and the balance of it is impure, and one is unable to get clean clothing in time, then in such a case one could either offer the Salaah while wearing those impure clothes or remove those clothes and offer the Salaah while naked. However, it is preferable to offer the Salaah with the impure clothes. If a quarter or more of the clothes are pure, it will not be permissible to offer the Salaah naked. It will be Wajib to offer the Salaah in those impure clothes.

THE MESSAGE
Why HIJAB disturbs dictators, democrats
HAROON SIDDIQUI
---------------------
In 1925, Kamal Ataturk, father of post-Ottoman Turkey, imposed the Hat Law, banning the traditional fez cap for men. The penalty for wearing one was death. That was his idea of secularism.

In 1928, Reza Khan, another soldier who seized power, passed a copycat Uniform Dress Law in neighbouring Iran. It decreed European attire for men and, in 1936, banned the HIJAB for women. That was his idea of Europeanizing Muslims.

Seven states in Germany banned the HIJAB for teachers. That was their idea of protecting German identity.

The French Assembly overwhelmingly approved a ban on the HIJAB for school students. That is their idea of securing French secularism.

Some German and French citizens envisage extending the HIJAB ban well beyond schools. That's their idea of emancipating all its wearers. read more

DUA/PRAYER
(Charms and Spells)
-------------------
Sayyadina Abu Saeed 'Al-Khudriy said: A small number of the companions of the Prophet took off in one of their journeys till they reached an Arab tribe. Then they asked hospitality of them, whereupon, they refused to show them hospitality. The chief of the town was soon after bitten [by a scorpion or a snake]. They sought everything for him; however nothing did him any good. Then a few of them said: Why don't you go to that group of men that have taken lodging over there? Perhaps some of them might have something [for it]. So they went to them and said: O' you folk, our chief has been stung and we tried everything but nothing did him any good, so does anyone of you have something [to treat him with]? One of them then said: By Allah I charm (cure spells); however, by Allah we asked you to show us hospitality, and you refused, so I am not going to charm for you until you set an agreed upon price. They then reconciled over a flock of sheep. Then the man set off blowing on him [on the chief], and reciting…

'Al-hamdu lil-lãhi rabbil ãlameena’... to the end (SURAH FATIHA).

It was then as if he had been set free after having been all tied up, he started walking without any pain. [He said:] So they gave them what they had agreed upon. Some of them (or one of them) then said: Split [the flock], the charmer then said: No do not, not until we come upon the Messenger of Allah and tell him about what happened [we will see what he orders]. So they came to the Messenger of Allah and told him, he then said: "And what makes you know it to be a charm?" Then he said: "You have struck correctly, so do split [the flock] and cast me a share along with you." The Prophet then laughed.

HEALTH TIP
A Positive Attitude is a Key to Good Health
"Happiness is the way you decide to live your life. It isn't something someone else gives to you. When you are happy with life in general, you are much healthier because you send a positive message to your body. This is how we learn to become our best friend instead of our worst enemy."

HANDY HINT
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time!

A THOUGHT
The greatest achievement in the opinion of man is eternal happiness and the most excellent thing is the way which leads to it. This happiness will never be attained except through knowledge and works, and works are impossible without the knowledge of how they are done. The basis for happiness in this world and the next is knowledge. Of all works it is, therefore, the most excellent. And why not, since the excellence of anything is revealed by the quality of its fruit?

THE SMILE
In the middle of a forest, there was a hunter who was suddenly confronted by a huge, mean bear. In his fear, all attempts to shoot the bear were unsuccessful. Finally, he turned and ran as fast as he could.

The hunter ran and ran and ran, until he ended up at the edge of a very steep cliff. His hopes were dim.

Seeing no way out of his predicament, and with the bear closing in rather quickly, the hunter got down on his knees, opened his arms, and exclaimed, "Dear God! Please give this bear some religion!"

The skies darkened and there was lightning in the air. Just a few feet short of the hunter, the bear came to an abrupt stop and glanced around, somewhat confused.

Suddenly, the bear looked up into the sky and said, "Thank you, God, for the food I'm about to receive..."
