THE GREAT BATTLE OF KHAIBAR 2007-11-08 09:57:47 According to Abdur-Rahman Ibn Laylah, the following Qur’ainc verse,
” And He rewarded them with a speedy victory, (Al-Fath: 18) “
refers to Khaibar. Some scholars of Siyrah say that the battle of Khaibar in the 6th year Hijra but according the majority of scholars it took place in the 7th year of Hijra.
In Ishaq said when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) marched from Medina to Khaibar he went by way of Isr, and a mosque was built for him there; then by way of Al-Sahbih. Then he went forward with the army until he hatted in a valley called AL-Raji, halting between the men of Khaibar and Ghatafan so as to prevent the latter reinforcing Khaibar, for they were on their side against the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). When Ghatafan heard about the Messenger’s attack on Khaibar they gathered together and marched out to help the Jews against him; but after a day’s journey, hearing a rumor about t
Chand jalta raha 2007-11-08 09:32:53 Meri aankhon me aansu pighalta raha, chand jalta raha
Teri yaadon ka suraj nikalta raha, chand jalta raha
Koi bistar pe shabnam lapete huye khawab dekha kiya
Koi yaadon ke karwat badalta raha , chand jalta raha
Meri aankhon me campus ki sab saa’atein jaagti hai abhi
Neher par tu mere saath chalta raha, chand jalta raha
Mai to jaanta hu ke jis shab mujhe chhor kar tum gaye
Aasmanon se shola nikalta raha, chand jalta raha
Raat aayi to kya kya tamashe huye tujh ko kya maloom ?
Teri yaadon ka suraj ubalta raha, chand jalta raha
Raat bhar meri palkon ki dehleez par khawab girte rahe
Dil tarapta raha, haath malta raha, chand jalta raha
Yeh December ke jis me kadi dhoop bhi meethi lagne lage
Tum nahi to yeh December sulagta raha, chand jalta raha
Aaj bhi woh taqaddus bhari raat mehki huyi hai ~Wasee~
Mai kisi me, koi mujh me dhalta raha, chand jalta raha

Aye mohabbat! 2007-11-08 09:28:27 Aye mohabbat! teri qismat k tujay muft millay
Ham say dana jo kamalatt kiya kertay thay
Khushk mitti ko bhi jo emaraat kiya kertay thay
Aye mohabbat yeh tera bakht k bin moll milay
Ham say anmoll jo heroon main tula kertay thay
Ham say moon zoor jo bhonchal utha rukthay thay
Aye mohabbat mari! ham teray mujrim tehray
Ham jasay jo logoon say sawalat kiya kertay thay
Ham jo sau (100) baat ki ik baat kiya kertay thay
Teri tehveel main anay say zara pehlay tak
Ham bhi iss sheher main izzat say raha kertay thay
Ham bigartay to kai kaam bana kertay thay
Aur ab teri sakhawat k ghanay saye main
Khalqat-e-sheher ko ham zinda tamasha tehray
Jitnay ilzamm thay, maqsoom hamara tehray
Aye mohabbat zara andaaz badal lay apna
Tujh ko aainda bhi ushaq ka khoon peena hay
Hum tu mar jaen gay tuj ko tu magar jeena hay
Life is a tunnel 2007-11-08 09:26:00 The world is a circle spinning round & around.
Sometimes it’s hard to keep both feet on the ground.
Sometimes we lose our balance, and fall out of place.
Yesterday I lost my way in the crowd.
I started to yell & scream very loud.
Today I managed to make it through it.
I heard a little voice that kept saying
‘Just Do It’
Life is a tunnel
, we all must pass through
None of us are certain, just where it may lead us to
For some of us it may be long
The turns we take, may sometimes be wrong.
We try to keep on the path that is clear.
That will be the least, of all our fear.
To move in the direction that is right
To reach the end of the tunnel, to see the light.
So try to be happy and not sad.
Cause life isn’t really always that bad.
Tommorrow, I’ll leave behind the sorrow.
Because this life here on earth, is only on borrow.
Don’t medicate me. 2007-11-08 09:19:19 The symptoms have set in,
visible on the out and
felt deep within.
I’m trembling, my head spins.
Still, I request that you don’t medicate me.
The control panel for my mind
has shut down. All is blank.
So, maybe it’s the lack of thinking,
but I sincerely ask that you don’t medicate me.
I begin to gag on fresh air–
something my lungs are not used to.
The tips of my fingers are numbing,
and I’m not quite sure I like what I’m becoming,
but I’d rather you not medicate me.
The vein on the side of my neck throbs
as my pulse rapidly increases.
All else ceases, and fades into a blur.
The singluar thought in my otherwise deserted mind remains :
“Don’t medicate me.”
Because the medication
that you see fit as an antidote to
my hostility, my depression, my anxiety, my flaws–
pulls tight on my inner being and all the components that I consist of,
until I am brought into an abyss
where these flaws do not exist,
but where I am eve
Hijab and Dressing of woman in Islam 2007-11-12 09:21:32 HIJAB
The term hijab, includes not only the covering of body, but methods of behavior before members of the same or opposite sex, promoting privacy for females and prohibiting intermingling sexes, to ensure modesty, decency, chastity and above all, respect and worship of Allah.
Minor differences exist among the scholars regarding the actual number of the requirements because of varying methods used in codifying them. The ones mentioned here represent the ones agreed upon by the overwhelming majority of scholars and are all solidly backed by firm evidence taken from the Qur’an, the Sunnah and the practice of the Sahabah (the Companions).
THE EXTENT OF COVERING
The dress worn in public must cover the entire body except what has been specifically excluded, based upon the following proofs: Allah says:
” And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts from sin and not show of their adornment except only that which is apparent, and draw their h Read more:Hijab

Itnay chup kyun ho rafeeqan-e-safar 2007-11-12 09:18:57 Itnay chup kyun ho rafeeqan-e-safar kuch to kaho
Dard say choor huay ho keh qarar aaya hai
Bhar gaya hijr ka her zakhm keh jee haar chalay
Bujh gaya shoq keh peghaam-e-nigar aya hai
Na muradi ki thakan hai keh khumar-e-shab-e-wasl
Jaan sulagti hai keh chehron peh nikhar aaya hai
Kitni ujri hui rut hai keh sukoon hai na junoon
Itni bay-faiz hui baad-e-bahari kesay
Na kaheen noha-e-jaan hai na kaheen naghma-e-dil
Kuch to bolo keh shab-e-dard guzaari kesay
Sar-ba-zaanoo ho to kyun, chaak girebaan walo
Baazi-e-raah-e-talab jeet kay hari kesay
Jab tere shehar se guzarta hoon 2007-11-12 09:17:30 Kis tarah rokta hoon ashkoon ko
Kis tarah dil pe jabr karta hoon
Aaj bhi kaar zaar-e-hasti mein
Jab tere shehar se guzarta hoon
Dil bhi kartaa hai yaad chhup ke tujhe Naam leti nahi zubaan tera..
Is qadar bhi nahin mujhe maloom
Kis muhalley mein hai makaan tera
Koun si shaakh-e-gul pe raqsaan hai
Raqs-e-firdaus, aashyaan tera
Jaaney kin vaadiyoon mein thehra hai
Ghairat-e-husn, karvaan tera
Kis se puchoon ga mein khabar teri
Koun batlaaye ga nishaan tera
Teri rusvaaiyoon se darta hoon
Jab tere shehar se guzarta hoon
Haal-e-dil bhi na keh saka garchay
To rahi muddaton qareeb mere
Kuch teri azmaton ka dar bhi tha
Kuch khayalat bhi thay ajeeb mere
Aakhir-e-kar woh ghari aayi
Yar war ho gaye raqeeb mere
Tu mujhe chor kar chali bhi gayi
Khair qismat meri naseeb mere
Aab main kiyon tujh se piyar karta hoon
Jab ter shehar say guzarta hoon
Wo zamana teri muhubat ka
Aik bholi hoi kahani hai
Tere koochay main umr bhar na gaye
Sari duniya ki khaak chani hai
Lazat-e-qurb ho keh zakhm-e-firaq

MIRACLE: Splitting of the Moon 2007-11-14 09:31:10
“The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder” [Qur’an 54:1]
Narrated Abdullah:
The moon was cleft asunder while we were in the company of the Prophet, and it became two parts. The Prophet said, Witness, witness (this miracle).”
Here is the scientific proof of Surah-AL-Qamar. This picture shows the location of the “Rocky Belt” which shows the moon was once split.
The unbelievers of Makkah said to the prophet that if you are truly a prophet split the moon and if you do we shall believe. It was a full moon that night…
And so the prophet prayed to Allah to grant him this miracle, and the moon was split. Half was seen over Mount Saffa, and the other half was seen over Mount Kaikaan.
The people said that the prophet has placed a spell on us, however if he played a trick on us, then he can’t play a trick on all the people in the world! Abu Jahl then said: “let us wait until the people of Albadiah come, and if they saw the moon split, then Read more:Splitting

Two of the companions of the Prophet departed from him on a dark night and were led by two lights like lamps (going in front of them from Allah as a miracle) lighting the way in front of them, and when they parted, each of them was accompanied by one of these lights till he reached their (respective) houses.

MIRACLE: His Blessing in the milk 2007-11-14 09:12:49 Hadrat Abu Huraira (Rady Allahu ‘Anh) relates: “By Allah, except whom there is no God, during the days of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) I used to press my stomach against the ground due to extreme hunger, or I used to tie a stone over it. One day I was sitting by the side of a public thoroughfare when the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) passed by me. On seeing me he smiled and recognized from my face my condition (that I was hungry). He called “Abahir” (meaning Abu Huraira) and I responded: ‘I am here, O Messenger of Allah’. He said: ‘Come along with me’ and he walked on; I followed him.
On reaching home he sought permission of the inmates, and entered, and also permitted me to enter in the house. He found a cup full of milk, and asked the inmates ‘From where has this milk come? They said: ‘It is a present for you from some gentleman or lady.’ He called me ‘Abahir’ an
MIRACLE: The Speech of the Wolf 2007-11-14 09:11:34
Volume 3, Book 39, Number 517:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “While a man was riding a cow, it turned towards him and said, ‘I have not been created for this purpose (i.e. carrying), I have been created for sloughing.l” The Prophet added, “I, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar believe in the story.” The Prophet went on, “A wolf caught a sheep, and when the shepherd chased it, the wolf said, ‘Who will be its guard on the day of wild beasts, when there will be no shepherd for it except me?’ “After narrating it, the Prophet said, “I, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar too believe it.” Abu Salama (a sub-narrator) said, “Abu Bakr and ‘Umar were not present then.”
It has been written that a wolf also spoke to one of the companions of the Prophet near Medina as narrated in Fath-al-Bari:Narrated Unais bin ‘Amr: Ahban bin Aus said, “I was amongst my sheep. Suddenly a wolf caught a sheep and I shouted at it. Read more:Speech
MIRACLE: The expulsion of a liar’s corpse by the Earth 2007-11-14 09:08:43 Volume 4, Book 56, Number 814:
Narrated Anas:
There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-Imran, and he used to write (the revelations) for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say: “Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him.” Then Allah caused him to die, and the people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, “This is the act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and took his body out of it because he had run away from them.” They again dug the grave deeply for him, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, “This is an act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and threw his body outside it, for he had run away from them.” They dug the grave for him as deep as they could, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had Read more:Earth
MIRACLE: Crying of the stem of the Date-palm Tree 2007-11-14 09:07:51
Narrated Hadrat Jabir bin ‘Abdullah (Rady Allahu ‘Anh): The Prophet used to stand by a tree or a date-palm on Friday. Then the Ansari woman or man said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Shall we make a pulpit for you?” He replied, “If you wish.” So they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, he proceeded towards the pulpit (for delivering the sermon). The date-palm cried like a child! The Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) descended (the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child being quietened. The Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) said, “It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near to it.” (Bukhari)
MIRACLE: Water Multiplication 2007-11-14 09:06:05
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 779:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
We used to consider miracles as Allah’s Blessings, but you people consider them to be a warning. Once we were with Allah’s Apostle on a journey, and we ran short of water. He said, “Bring the water remaining with you.” The people brought a utensil containing a little water. He placed his hand in it and said, “Come to the blessed water, and the Blessing is from Allah.” I saw the water flowing from among the fingers of Allah’s Apostle , and no doubt, we heard the meal glorifying Allah, when it was being eaten (by him).
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 777:
Narrated Al-Bara:
We were one-thousand-and-four-hundred persons on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty), and (at) Al-Hudaibiya (there) was a well. We drew out its water not leaving even a single drop. The Prophet sat at the edge of the well and asked for some water with which he rinsed his mouth and then he threw it out into the well. We stayed for
MIRACLE: Supplication for Rain 2007-11-14 09:04:34
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 115:
Narrated Anas:
A man came to the Prophet on a Friday while he (the Prophet) was delivering a sermon at Medina, and said, “There is lack of rain, so please invoke your Lord to bless us with the rain.” The Prophet looked at the sky when no cloud could be detected. Then he invoked Allah for rain. Clouds started gathering together and it rained till the Medina valleys started flowing with water. It continued raining till the next Friday. Then that man (or some other man) stood up while the Prophet was delivering the Friday sermon, and said, “We are drowned; Please invoke your Lord to withhold it (rain) from us” The Prophet smiled and said twice or thrice, “O Allah! Please let it rain round about us and not upon us.” The clouds started dispersing over Medina to the right and to the left, and it rained round about Medina and not upon Medina. Allah showed them (the people) the miracle of His Prophet and His response to his in
MIRACLE: Food Multiplication 2007-11-14 09:00:54 1) Narrated Jabir:
My father had died in debt. So I came to the Prophet and said, “My father (died) leaving unpaid debts, and I have nothing except the yield of his date palms; and their yield for many years will not cover his debts. So please come with me, so that the creditors may not misbehave with me.” The Prophet went round one of the heaps of dates and invoked (Allah), and then did the same with another heap and sat on it and said, “Measure (for them).” He paid them their rights and what remained was as much as had been paid to them.
2) Hadrat Anas (Rady Allahu ‘Anh) reports: “In a walima-feast given by the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) my mother prepared malidah (pounded bread mixed with ghee and sugar) and offered it in a bowl to him. He asked me to call such and such persons and anyone who might meet me on the way. I went out and whoever came across me I kept sending him to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sa
WORDS THAT CAUSE ONE TO PLUMMET IN HELLFIRE 2007-11-21 14:37:57 WORDS THAT CAUSE ONE TO PLUMMET IN HELLFIRE
Al-Ma’roor ibn Suwayd narrates that he once saw Abu Dharr (RA) wearing a beautiful shawl. His slave standing next to him was wearing a shawl exactly like it, warm and beautiful.
Ma’roor said to Abu Dharr, “Perhaps you could take the shawl of your servant and give him another (less expensive) one.”
“Never,” said Abu Dharr, “for I once had a servant whose mother was not Arab and I cussed him and his mother. That servant went to the Messenger of Allah (SAW) complaining of the words I had said.
“When Rasul Allaah (SAW) saw me he commented, ‘O Abu Dharr, you are a man who still has Jahilliyyah (Pre-Islamic Ignorance) in him.’”
Because of these painful words, Abu Dharr (RA) would always dress his servants in the exact same garments that he would wear.
Dear brothers and sisters, Allah is disobeyed most with our tongues. There is a sin that sweeps amongst us, a sin that many take lightly, a sin that is laughed at, a sin that cou
‘Seek refuge against five traits…’ 2007-11-26 12:45:15 The blessed Companion, Abdullah Ibn Umar reports that the Holy Prophet (SAW) once gave a sermon in which he said:
O Emigrants, I seek refuge
of Allah Almighty against
five traits of character lest they should grow into you: firstly, against immodesty, for when immodesty prevails in a people they are hit by plagues, epidemics and ever-new diseases not even heard of by their elders; and secondly, against cheating in weights and measure, for when this disease grips a people, they are hit by famine, price-hikes, rigorous labour and over-work and oppressive rulers; and thirdly, against non-payment of Zakah, for when people do not pay Zakah, rains are stopped; and fourthly, against the religious apathy of people, for when a community breaks its covenant with Allah and His Messenger, then Allah Almighty makes alien enemies sit over them who snatch away what belongs to them without any justification; and fifthly, against the apathy of ruling authority, for when the rulers of a people fail to Read more:hellip

Expectations of the Mercy of Allah (SWT) 2007-11-26 12:40:35 There once lived a pious man who was enslaved to a wicked master. The righteous slave wanted to teach his master a lesson that he would not forget, a lesson that would make him change his ways.
The Master told him one day to plant wheat. The slave took the opportunity. He went and collected seeds of barley and planted them. As the season drew near, the master was enraged to see that after all this work and time the slave had planted the wrong seed. In his thrashing rage, he scolded the slave saying, “Why did you do this?”
The righteous slave said, “I had hope that the barley seeds would come out as wheat.”
The Master said, “How can you plant barley seeds and expect it to come out as wheat?”
The slave stopped and said quietly, “How can you disobey Allah and expect for His bounteous mercy? How can you openly challenge his Deen and hope for Jannah.”
The Master was stunned and silent. He understood. “You have taught me something today t
