QUOTE

DISTRESS
----------
"In the event of distress, a man depends solely upon his own plans and relies upon people. When he is disappointed from all sides, then alone he turn[s] to Allah."

~ UTHMAAN RA ~

PERSONALITY

Abu Dujana RA
---------------
Amongst the Lions of Allah was a companion by the name of Abu Dujana Sammak bin Kharsha RA. He was from the Ansar and accepted Islam early in the Prophet's Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam mission. He was known for his piety and strength and bravery in Jihad. During the battle of Uhud, the second most significant battle (after the victory of Badr), the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam urged his Companions to fight and spurred them to show stamina and steadfastness in the Jihad. He started to implant the spirit of boldness and bravery in them. To wage and inflame them and maintain their zeal in the fight, he Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam drew his sword, held it in his hand and called out to his Sahaba and said, "Who is ready to take this sword and fulfill its right?" Many notable Sahaba set out to take it. But it was granted to none of them.

The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, "Sahl bin Haneef and Abu Dujana have been as courageous as you are in the Jihad." After the death of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam, during the Khalifah of Abu Bakr RA, Abu Dujana fought until he was Shaheed (martyred) against the army of Musailima al-Kathab [the Liar who claimed Prophethood in the lifetime of the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam and made war against his Sahaba when Abu Bakr was Khalifah.]

To us, his life is a legacy of sacrifice and lessons of bravery and fierceness against Kufr. He is the epitome of a true Mujahid. May the mercy of Allah be upon Abu Dujana RA and may He guide our Muslim youth towards the example he left behind. Ameen.

HANDY HINT

INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS
------------------------------
The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something; he took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of amesh material... I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. Well ...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit.You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free... that nice fragrance too. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box.. well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long!

How about that!!

Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that.

So, I thought I'd share!

Note: I went to my dryer and tested my screen by running water on it. The water ran through a little bit but mostly collected all the water in the mesh screen. I washed it with warm soapy waterand a nylon brush and I had it done in 30 seconds. Then when I rinsed it... the water ran right through the screen! There wasn't any puddling at all! That repairman knew what he was talking about!

FIQH

While in Salaah, someone picked up one's shoes and he fears that if he does not break his Salaah his shoes will get stolen. It will be permissible for him to break his Salaah.
