Hazrat-e-Umar (rz) jaisey majboot aadmi bhi kamzor sey hogaye , kehney lagey - Aye AbuBakker aap unsey qitaal karingey , ladayi ladingey jo apni zabaan sey kalma padtey hai , jo namaaz padtey hai, aur phir aap unsey qitaal karingey . Toh hazrat AbuBakker(rz) ney farmaya - " key ager koi huzur(saws) key zamaney mein zakaat deta tha , uunt deta tha zakaat mein , uskey saath rassi deta tha . Aur aaj ye kaheyga key main uunt dunga , rassi nai dunga toh bhi main us sey qitaal karunga.

120 US war veteran suicides a week

From correspondents in New York November 15, 2007 09:47am

THE US military is experiencing a "suicide epidemic" with veterans killing themselves at the rate of 120 a week, according to an investigation by US television network CBS.

At least 6256 US veterans committed suicide in 2005 - an average of 17 a day - the network reported, with veterans overall more than twice as likely to take their own lives as the rest of the general population.

While the suicide rate among the general population was 8.9 per 100,000, the level among veterans was between 18.7 and 20.8 per 100,000.

That figure rose to 22.9 to 31.9 suicides per 100,000 among veterans aged 20 to 24 - almost four times the non-veteran average for the age group.

"Those numbers clearly show an epidemic of mental health problems,'' CBS quoted veterans' rights advocate Paul Sullivan as saying.

CBS quoted the father of a 23-year-old soldier who shot himself in 2005 as saying the military did not want the true scale of the problem to be known.

"Nobody wants to tally it up in the form of a government total,'' Mike Bowman said.

"They don't want the true numbers of casualties to really be known.''

There are 25 million veterans in the United States, 1.6 million of whom served in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to CBS.

"Not everyone comes home from the war wounded, but the bottom line is nobody comes home unchanged,'' Paul Rieckhoff, a former Marine and founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for America said on CBS.

The network said it was the first time that a nationwide count of veteran suicides had been conducted.

The tally was reached by collating suicide data from individual states for both veterans and the general population from 1995.

Tana dena , Ayeb joyi karna

Dars-e-Quran by Aalim Saab 15 Nov 07

-Allah taa'la ka irshaad hai - " badi kharabi hai uss shaks key liye jo tana deneywala ho aur ayebjoyi karneywala ho , usney apney maal ko jama kiya ho aur usey gin gin key rakha , woh zara hutama mein daaldiya jayega , hutama Allah ki behkayi huwi aag hai jo dilo ko jaladeyti hai ". ( in brief )

- "Tana key matlab hai - kisi key saamney aisi baat kehna jissey usko takleef ho , chubti huwi baat kehna "

-"Gheebat key mutaliq baaz waqt aadmi yu kehta hai key - main jo kehra hu woh sach hi toh hai . Kisi key peechey baat kehna jissey usey takleef ho , halaankey usmein woh baat hai , phir bhi usey kehna ghalat hai ". Baaz waqt aadmi kehta hai key main toh uskey mu per bhi kehsakta hu , toh peechey bolna bhi sahi hai - "koi aisi baat kehna uskey mu pey hi sahi jissey usey takleef ho , jissey usey ruswa kiya jaye , jaisey uski koi burai ya ayeb kholdena uskey saamney" . "Na mu key saamney aisa kehney ki ijazat hai , na peechey kehney ki ijazat hai . "

-"Dhoka hai aadmi key liye , shaitaan ka dhoka hai - key aadmi ye samjhey key main mu per bolsakta hu toh peechey bhi bolsakta hu , aisi baat bila wajeh mu per bolna bhi ghalat hai aur peechey bolna bhi ghalat hai .

-"Ye jo duniya ki aag hai , ye aag jism ku lagtey hi , khaal jalti hai aur dil ku aag pahunchney sey pehley hi aadmi ki maut waqai hojati hai mager aakhirat ki aag dil ko jalaati hai . Khaali khaal jalney pey kitni takleef hoti hai , phir aag dil ko jalaadey toh kitni takleef hogi "

Liberal hypocrisy

I have a bee in my bonnet, or hijab to be more precise.

On an almost daily basis there are horrific stories pouring out of Tunisia about how the state police are ripping off the hijabs of women living there. Some of these women, who are merely fulfilling their religious obligation to wear a hijab, have been assaulted, sexually abused and even locked up in prison by the authorities.

Unbelievable when you consider western tourists are topless sunbathing on the coastal resorts, soaking up the Tunisian sun. So it is okay to get your kit off if you are a western tourist, who pays handsomely for sun, sand, sex and sangria, but try wearing a hijab and see what happens in this so-called liberal, Muslim country.

At the moment I am in Tehran where Iranian police are occasionally stopping women in the streets to remind them of their religious obligations by wearing a full hijab. There's been an outcry in the Western media about how the Iranian authorities are fining women who fail to wear their hijabs correctly in public.

I call these women the half-jabis, “you know the ones, they balance their designer scarfs precariously on the back of their heads and spend the rest of the day adjusting and picking their scarfs from the nape of their necks.

It might have endeared Princess Diana to half the Muslim world when she 'covered' in Muslim countries, but most women who try and emulate the Di style just look plain stupid. But what a pity those same journalists don't travel to Tunisia and write about a real story like the human rights abuses against women in down town Tunis instead of focusing on Tehran.

Why do journalists choose to ignore the Amnesty International report which outlines in clinical detail how the Tunisian authorities have increased their "harassment of women who wear the hijab"? Is it because the Tunisian government is a craven devotee of the Bush Administration whereas Iran was identified as the now infamous Axis of Evil?

Surely the media is not that fickle? (Rhetorical question merely for the benefit of the mentally challenged).

The actions of the Tunisian regime make Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his government look like a group of Tupperware party planners. For instance, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and the Interior and the Secretary-General of Tunisia's ruling political party, the Constitutional Democratic Rally, have stated they are so concerned about rise in the use of the hijab by women and girls and beards and the qamis (knee-level shirts) by men, that they have called for a strict implementation of decree 108 of 1985 of the Ministry of Education banning the hijab at educational institutions and when working in government.

Police have ordered women to remove the headscarfs before being allowed into schools, universities or work places and others have been made to remove them in the street. According to Amnesty's report, some women were arrested and taken to police stations where they were forced to sign written commitment to stop wearing the hijab.

Amnesty International states quite clearly it believes that individuals have the right to choose whether or not to wear a headscarf or other religious covering, consistent with their right to freedom of expression. They have called on the Tunisian government to "respect the country's obligations under both national law and international human rights law and standards, and to end the severe restrictions which continue to be used to prevent exercise of fundamental rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly".

They have even kindly asked President Ben Ali's government to "end the harassment and attempted intimidation of human rights defenders". I would like to be more forthright with Mr Ben Ali and remind him of his Islamic obligations as a Muslim. I doubt if Zine Alabidin Ben Ali would take much notice. The man is clearly an arrogant fool and somewhere in Tunisia there is a village which is missing its idiot (Hamman-Sousse in the Sahel, actually).

This is the man who once said the hijab was something foreign and not part of Tunisian culture. Hmm, he obviously has not seen pictures taken before he came to power, clearly show Tunisian women going about their business fully covered. He has a history of despising the French colonialists who occupied his country, but at least under the French, the Tunisian people had more freedom than they do now.

And since I have no family, friends or connections in Tunisia I write this without fear or favour. Also, there is no rank in Islam so I care nothing for his title nor do I have any respect for him as a man. I would certainly never doff my cap to this particular President of Tunisia and would happily spit in his face if he told me to remove my hijab.

Perhaps those Muslim women in Tehran might like to consider the plight of their sisters in Tunisia before trying to balance their hijabs on the backs of their heads. And I would ask them to read the harrowing report below before bellyaching to more journalists about their rights to parade around like Diana-look-a-likes.

It was written by an imam from Tunisia who had it smuggled out and given to me because he wants the world to know exactly what is happening to the women in his country.
Here is a snippet: "The police will randomly make their way into markets and rip the hijabs from women's heads as well as take away any fabrics being sold to make hijabs.

"They will also go into factories where women are working and rip the hijabs off women's heads. This is the least of what they have done.

"I will give you just one example of what these dogs with Arab faces but the hearts of devils, have done to our sisters. They have, at one time ordered a public bus to halt in the middle of the road while two plain clothes detectives went inside. The buses are similar to the ones in the west except they will usually have three times more people inside it.

"They grabbed one women wearing hijab and took her outside of the bus. This was a sister who they had warned before. They brought her into the side of the street and began slapping her across her face and cursing at her with the worst language you could think of.

"They took her hijab off and the main policeman said, "When are you going to stop wearing this ****. She said she would never stop and she was crying. The men took her around the corner by a public bathroom.

"They ripped her clothes off. They grabbed a soda bottle, these bottles are made of glass, and they raped her with it. They were laughing and they were many people around but no one did anything. When they were done they made her wear a short skirt and a sleeveless shirt and made her walk home to her husband like this. I swear by Allah that this is true".

The time is fast approaching when sisters across the world have to unite and come together in defence of the hijab and in defence of the Muslim sisterhood. My appeal goes out to feminists of all faiths and no faith but please don't think Muslim women are weak because the reality is that Islamic feminism can be just as radical as western feminism.

Our parameters and values are slightly different as Muslims but that does not make us any better or lesser human beings than western feminists. There is certainly no room for sectarianism in the Muslim sisterhood and we have no time for petty squabbles, divisions, cultural or tribal affiliations.

The bottom line is that we need to show solidarity with our sisters in Tunisia, it is a very small country which makes it easy for the army to control the people and brutally squash any signs of resistance. Even those Tunisians living abroad have a fear in their eyes because while they may be safe, members of their families left behind are often held to account for any actions overseas regarded as subversive.

The brutality of the regime, combined with the happy clappy clerics and their narcotic-style preachings in praise of the Sufi-style government have also collectively subdued parts of the Tunisian population.

No wonder the Muslim youth no longer clamour to get into masjids on Fridays to listen to these khateebs who spend half the khutbah praising the President and his followers. This is why I salute the bravery of those sisters in Tunisia who are fighting for the right to fulfil their religious obligation as Muslim women, to wear the hijab.

Amir-e-Muhtaram

Dated - 14 Nov 07

-" Har Musalmaan key zimmey do kaam hai - Deen pey chalna aur deen ko phailana. "

-" Deen naam hai kuch karney ka , kuch na karney ka - her shobey mein , sirf namaaz rozey mein hi nai - mamulaat mein , mashirat mein her cheez mein."

-Eik khawateen ki jamaat aayi thi , Malaysia sey. Usmein eik khatoon koney mein khadey rorahi hai . Kisi ney dekha , soncha kyun rorahi hai - kisi ney kuch kehdiya , kya huwa . Bhot israar karkey poochney key baad usney kaha - " main 3 saal key bacchey ku chod aayi hu , bacchey ki yaad aarahi hai " . Maa ki mamta , deen ka jazba , aurton key ander ye qurbani .

- 5 batein sahi hojaye toh namaaz namaaz baneygi -
  1. Kalmey wala yaqeen ho
  2. Fazail wala shouq ho
  3. Masail wala tareeqa ho
  4. Allahwala dhyaan ho
  5. Ikhlaas wali niyaat ho

Phir jo duwa karogey khubul hogi. Sahabiya ney do rakaat namaaz padkey apney murda bacchey ko zinda kardiya.

- Eik halqey ki jamaat ko 9 Nov ku nikalna tha , jamaat nai nikli toh Amir-e-Muhtaram ney kaha - " Farz karo ager Hukumat ka ayelaan hoga key jo 9 Nov ko na nikley usey 20,000 rupey jurmana hoga , nai nikaltey they jab?."

-Aur eik halqey ki bhi jamaat nai nikli toh Amir-e-Muhtaram ney kaha - " Arey miyaa sunoo meri baat . Ghar baithey rahey jamaat nai nikalti , ghar baithey rahey jamaat nai nikalti , ghar chodna , apni masjid mein aana , waha pahunchjaana apney bistar key saath , takyo key saath , mulaqatey karna , toh jamaat nikalti. "

- Jamat kab banti hai ? - Chutti lena padta , dukaan hai toh dukaan band karna. Jamaat bantey nahi jamaat banayi jaati hai, yaad rakhiye . Haan , Jamaat banti nai , jamaat banayi jaati hai. Jabtak jamaat na baney ghar ki surat mat dekho. Sahab-e-Ikram toh barso key liye nikalgaye.

- "Eik jamaat banna hai berun ki , eik lakh rupey kharcha hai , kam se kam ya 80,000 ki ya 60,000 ki. Himmat kariye. Allah ney paisa diya hai , apney karam sey hi diya hai . Jab paida huwe toh hamarey haath mein 100 rupey ki note nai thi , aapkey haath mein nai thi , merey haath mein bhi nai thi. Sabsey uncha farz , sabsey uncha farz Allah key deen key hayat key liye kharch karna. Hamarey akabeer ka khawl - jis zamaney mein aapkey Allah ka deen , huzur (saws) ka deen kamzor ho , aapkey deen key liye eik daan ka kharcha karna rahey khair mein hazaro daan kharch karney sey behtar hai . Allah ney diya hai , kharch kariye , aapkey saath khabar mein jayega , merey saath khabar mein jayega."

-"Hamarey huzur(saws) ney kharz maanga , kharz diya . Namuna batadiya ummat ko."

-Eik bacchi thi , choti , school ko jaati thi , isayi school . Islami libaas pehenti thi , shalwar waghaira. Jab 4th class mein pahunchi toh teacher ney kaha ye libaas nai chaleyga , tumhey school ka libaas follow karna padeyga . Bacchi gayi , boli ghar pey , maa baap ney tawajjhey nai diya aur wahi shalwar islami libaas pey bhejdiya . Teacher phir boli , arey tumney suna nai , ye nai chaleyga. Bacchi bechari choti thi , masoom thi , jaakey boli apney baap ku. Baap aaya baat karney headmistress sey , bola key hum musalman hai , hum apney bacchi ku islami libaas mein hi bhijayingey . Headmistress badmaash thi , boli yaha koi mazhab wazhab ka naam nai lena , ye school hai . Baap naujawan tha , garam tha khoon , tabligh mein lagaya tha waqt , imaan bana huwa tha , bola - accha ye maryam ka statue nikalo abhi yahi sey ( sehan mein maryam ka statue ) , ye nikalo maryam ka statue ab yaha madarsa baneyga . Andar imaan ho toh roab padta hai aageywaley pey . Headmistress darrgayi , boli , theek hai , accha accha , aisehi bhijayye apni bacchi ko.

-Eik saathi key baithkey jawaab deney per Amir-e-Muhtaram ney kaha -" Jo baat kehna hai khadey hokey kaho miya , Aurtein baithkey kehti hai , Mard khadey hokey kehtey hai "

-"Aapney kabhi suna , kisi khaaton ney Sahaba ikram key zamaney mein apney mard ko roka ho deen ki mehnat sey . Wahan toh baccho ko bhejtey they , ye kab huwa jab aurton key ander deen ka jazba paida huwa. "

-"Gawah maujud hai majlis mein , Mera Nikah mein 12 rupey ka kharcha huwa . Ye kab huwa , jab deen ki mehnat aayi ghar mein . Aaj tak mashallah khush hai hum , koi shikayat nai -namujhey biwi sey , na meri biwi ko mujhsey. "

Words by Aalim Saab ( Miscellaneous topics )

"Eik Gunah ki aadat ko chodna laakho tahajjud ki namazo sey afzal hai " . Gunah chodney mein jo takleef hoti hai uss takleef per sabr karna bahut badi cheez hai , bahut uncha mukhaam hai uska . "

ILM

ILM

- Ilm toh asal mein woh hai joh aadmi ko Allah sey jodey .

Eik Lateefa hai mager ussey baat samajmein aati hai - " Eik Kashti mein bahut sey log baithker safar karrahey they , badey padeylikhey log they . Puraney zamaney key kashti thi , malla usey chalaraha tha . Bahut sey padeylikhey log baithey they , unko tafreeh ki suji toh unhuney Malla sey poochna shuru kiya - Bade miya tumko science aat hai ? .

Usney kaha - nai saab , science ki toh dum bhi nyaati .

Accha geography seekha hai tumney , pada hai ?

Malla - Nai saab , geographia wographia kuch nyaata , bas dariya ka geographia jaanta hu , idher sey sawari bithata hu aur udhar chodta hu , itna geographia maloom hai .

Accha tumko hisaab bhi aata hai ?

Malla - Saab itna aata hai key jissey main apna kiraya wusul karlu , iskey siwa kuch nyaata.

Toh sabney mazaakh udaaya , itna bada hogaya , zindagi zaye kardi , na science aati , na geography , na hisaab. Tum ney toh zindagi barbaad kardi .
Kuch der baad kashti tufaan mein phasgayi , ab aisa laga key kashti dubjayegi toh har eik ko teer kar paar hona hai .

Toh uss malla ney unlogon sey poocha - Bhai aaplogon ku teerna bhi aata hai ? Unlogon ney kaha koi teerna weerna nyaata. Usney kaha - theek hai , aap apna geographia , hisaab dekhtey rahiye aur main teer kar chalajaunga , kiski zindagi barbaad huwi ? Aapki ya meri ?

MORAL - Woh cheez toh seekhi jissey duniya ki zindagi chaljaye mager jis cheez sey asal beda paar honey wala hai woh seekhi hai ya nahi ?

Six Qualities that every Muslim should try and develop in his life

1. Ilm of Deen - Lack or Deficiency in our knowledge is the cause of fitnahs in this world. Major fitnahs are caused because of deficiency in our knowledge. Atleast basic knowledge should be learnt from the Quran and Sunnah.

2. Friend's Choice - Extremely imp and very much applicable in our times . Every Muslim shall choose a friend that will invite him towards good and prohibit him from evil . Huzur (saws) says - " that a friend is on the way of life of his friend . Friend must have an agreement with his friend that if u see me negligent in any of my duties and responsiblities and obligations, if u find i am violating the laws of Quran , Shariah and Sunnah , if u find that i am going to the wrong places , or i am involved in some illicit love relationship or i am engaging in some kind of haraam activity then u must make naseehat to me and i will not be offended , i am not going take it as an offence that why are u advising me , i will appreciate ur naseehat. If he finds his friends in some vice and if he has that much power of influence that he could bring them back his friends in the right direction then alhamdulillah but if not then he should separate . When he is separating also , he shouldn't consider because i am very pious , righteous , holier therefore i am separating from the others. What he must consider is - i am weak and i will also be drawn into those areas of sin and vices .

3. Nafs and Shaitaan - Every Muslim must recognise his nafs and shaitaan as his enemies . There is a great enemy which is hidden inside which wants to see the destruction of this man , his morals , his behaviour , his character and everything else.

4. Injustice - Very very imp for the entire muslim community to understand and realise that if there is injustice from their side then Allah taa'la wrath and anger will descend. There is so much of injustice upon our wives , upon our parents , upon our children, neighbours , families , staff and dont even ask for forgiveness . Then we should remember the hadith - that the dua of the person who has been oppressed , injustice has been done then the dua of such person is definitely accepted.

5. Dont leave evidence of sins - Take lessons from what is happening . Fit, young, healthy couple and they are travelling and suddenly they r gone . Now what will happen , somebody had to break the locks as no key was available , or they had the key and now they had to enter the house and open the cupboards and check for whatever is there for distribution and when they found those things then they were shocked beyond belief that this was the person we thought was very pious but look at what he was watching at home . Accidental sin is accidental but to be persistent in sins and to keep a record of sins , keep photographs ? , we dont know when our death will come , what kind of image are we going to leave ?

6. Preparation of death - Preparation of death is that - we use the same eyes , same tounge , same ears , same wealth , same home, same cars , everything is same . The only thing is we use it now according to Quran and sunnah of our beloved Rasul (saws) . And that is the preparation of death .
