| QUOTE |
"Our
deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful beyond measure. Is our light, not
our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who
am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually,
who are you not to be. You are a child of God. Your playing
small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around
you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born
to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's
not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our
own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission
to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our
presence automatically liberates others." [Nelson Mandela] |

| THE
MESSAGE |
REVOLUTION
OF REJECTION
From Hayaatul Muslemeen
By Ml Ashraf Ali Thanwi RA
--------------------------
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alyhi wa Sallam’s deep love for
his Ummah caused him to always call out in Duaa. The revolution
of the Ummah in relation to this cry does not have for its
goal worldly revolution. Thus the term 'revolution' must not
be understood in the context of worldly change and revolution.
Although a discussion regarding the mundane revolution of
the Ummah is not futile, nevertheless, the dimension of change
falling within the purview of our discussion here is Deeni
Revolution. The change or revolution which is the aim and
goal of Islam has no affinity and no relationship with the
kind of mundane changes which have overtaken the Ummah.
It
is indeed fortunate that the 'revolution' of rejection has
not yet overtaken the Ummah. Beliefs are not outrightedly
rejected although some changes have taken place under the
cover of the Deen. In a conflict between a Deeni demand and
the Nafs, the latter asserts its domination. For example:
the commission of fornication; living together as man and
wife despite having administered three Talaaq.
This
condition of neglect, indifference and omission regarding
the second constituent part of Deen applies to all.
O
Muslims! You are again being warned of your condition of degradation.
You have to be alert. You must awaken from your slumber. If
even now you fail to wake up, then may Allah help! If you
have realised your fallen state -- your fall from the pedestal
of glory -- then have you not realised that its reformation
and its restoration to its former lofty state are incumbent
upon you? If it is incumbent -- in other words, if indeed
you do acknowledge this incumbency -- then what are you waiting
for? When will you commence with your spiritual reformation
which will bring about your restoration to your proper pedestal
of glory? Are you awaiting some obstacle, some incapacitating
disease or death or some new Wahi (revelation)? For a certainty,
there is no hope of any new Wahi coming. The Qur'aan therefore
asks you: “Then, which revelation after it (Qur'aan)
will they believe?”
Obstacles
and diseases which will render you helpless are not impossible.
But Maut (death) is a certainty. If you are then awaiting
the certainty of Maut, what do you think you will then achieve?
O
Muslims! Regarding this very 'revolution' which the Ummah
has undergone and is still undergoing in this age, Rasulullah
(saws) predicted: “Humankind is like a hundred camels
among which you cannot find mount (i.e. one worthy of riding).
And, Allah knows best and He is the One to grant Taufeeq. |

| COOKING
TIP |
Grind
slightly warmed and cooled cardamom pods in a small dry mixie.
Use a fine Sieve to get fine powder, repeat with the coarse
residue till maximum powder is got. Store easily in a clean
dry bottle, for months. This way even the flavour of the skin
is utilized, more powder is obtained and it is Less dark,
so the sweet does not get discoloured if white, etc. in colour. |

THOUGHT |
| A
WORSHIPPER'S CRY
----------------------
A
dervish placed his head upon the threshold of the Ka'bah,
groaned, and said:
'O
forgiving, 0 merciful one, thou knowest what an unrighteous,
ignorant man can offer to thee.'
I
have craved pardon for the deficiency of my service
Because I can implore no reward for my obedience.
Sinners repent of their transgressions.
Arifs ask forgiveness for their imperfect worship.
Devotees
desire a reward for their obedience and merchants the price
of their wares but I, who am a worshipper, have brought hope
and not obedience. I have come to beg and not to trade. Deal
with me as thou deemest fit. |

| THE
SMILE |
In
a terrible accident at a railroad crossing, a train smashed
into a car and pushed it nearly four hundred yards down the
track. Though no one was killed, the driver took the train
company to court.
At the trial, the engineer insisted that he had given the
driver ample warning by waving his lantern back and forth
for nearly a minute. He even stood and convincingly demonstrated
how he'd done it. The court believed his story, and the suit
was dismissed.
"Congratulations,"
the lawyer said to the engineer when it was over. "You
did superbly under cross-examination."
"Thanks," he said, "but he sure had me worried.""How's
that?" the lawyer asked.
"I
was afraid he was going to ask if the lantern was lit!"
