Cant Logon to Windows XP, Forgot Administrator Password?

---------
If that’s your only problem, then you probably have nothing to worry about. As long as you have your Windows XP CD, you can inshallah get back into your system using a simple but effective method made possible by a little known access hole in Windows XP.

This method is easy enough for newbies to follow – it doesn’t require using the Recovery Console or any complicated commands.

You can easily change or wipe out your Administrator password for free during a Windows XP Repair. Here’s how with a step-by-step description of the initial Repair process included for newbie’s.

1. Place your Windows XP CD in your cd-rom and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be - and that you have your bios set to boot from CD)

2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your cd Typically, it will be “Press any key to boot from cd”

3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.

4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now

5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.

6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”
Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.

7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.

8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (this will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”

9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.

10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.

11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Alhamdulillah! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.

12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).

13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password. Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.

I used this method on Windows XP Pro in a real situation where someone of my apartment could not remember their password and it worked like a charm to fix the problem.

Missed wird


A spiritual aspirant wrote that,
“I wish I do not miss my wird any day. However, sometimes due to unavoidable circumstance it is missed.”
Hakim al-Umma Hadhrat Mawlana Ashraf ‘Ali Than (may Allah have mercy on him) replied,
“Do not worry. There is Divine wisdom in this also. It shows one’s limitation. And is a blockade for prideful claims and cure of self praise. However, try your best not to be lazy and make up for the missed wird. If not complete, incomplete will suffice.”

Patience with Parents


--------- A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled,his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. We must do something about Grandfather,” said the son. I’ve had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor. So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

When the family glanced in Grandfather’s direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

Allah mentions in Surah Bani-Israil 17:23-24
"And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: “My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small.

Importance of Islamic Education

- Taken from http://zainulabedeen.blogspot.com/2008/05/importance-of-islamic-education.html

Recently Hadhrat called all the parents of those students in the 'Alim classes to generally discuss the decision taken by the parents to enrol their children into the 'Alim course. He highlighted the importance of Islamic education and its importance for the children as well as the parents.

He gave an emotional and touching talk explaining the value of Islamic knowledge and the difference of children who are educated with Islamic knowledge in comparison to those who are ignorant of Islamic understanding.

Many examples were giving from Hadhrat's experiences; some of which are paraphrased below:
  • I was once in a car during my journey to Syria where the driver went past a small snake (palm size). The driver stopped the car and killed the snake. I asked him, why go through so much trouble to kill the small snake. He said, today the snake is small but a time will come when it will grow and start biting all the people.
  • Once whilst in Azadville I was returning home from the Masjid when I was told by my companions that there was a ill man and we should visit him. Upon visiting him he thanked us by saying he was awaiting someome who could give him water. The man was in his last days and we assumed he had no children. But whilst getting the water we saw all his young children sitting and watching television.
  • On one occasion I enquired about a man on his death bed who was being punched by a young lad. I was told that the young person was the son of the dying old man who was thumping the old man to retrieve from him the location and amount of his wealth that he was leaving behind.
  • In one of the newspapers there was a printed letter from a young girl who wrote to her father from the confines of her prison cell. She wrote to inform her father that he was liable and to blame for her current situation as he had not taught her the religious obligations and had not guided her. She added that she would be punished in this world but he would be punished in the Hereafter as well.

All these incidents show us how our children will become without religious guidance and knowledge. They will become like that small snake who might seem harmless today but in the future will yearn to bite us.

This is just an indication of the benefits of Deen and Islamic knowledge. If the true benefits were known then people would send their children to Madrassah without question and there would be no place in the Darul Ulooms to accommodate these people. Like it is mentioned regarding the Salaah; people would come crawling even if they had no legs.

These are indications which I am sure you can understand and comprehend the entire depths of. Time is short and I don't want to go into too much details. But I would like to congratulate you on sending your children to the Madrassah for this knowledge. Don't question as to where their livelihood will come from.

Will a man in a hut with sufficient funds and livelihood ever swap places with a wealthy man who has a mansion yet has an illness which keeps him distressed? There are many incidents of such people; some people have invited me to dinner at their houses and have asked me to make Du'aa for them; despite their apparent comfort and luxury they are suffering.

On one occasion, I was visited by a man who had come in a brand-new Mercedes, he came he to seek advice about family issues and problems. Tell me of what use is this luxury and Mercedes? I am not saying that it is not permissible to have luxuries and Mercedes; may Allah give Barakah (blessing) in the wealth of the believers. What I am saying is that apparent wealth is of no value if it is does not come with peace and contentment; and this can only be found in the remembrance of Allah and educating our children in matters of Deen.

Only when they come to the Darul Ulooms and Madaaris will they be drilled with the value and importance of one's parents; only then will they know of the punishments of mistreating their elders and parents. I teach they Sahih Bukhari here and daily we come across Ahadeeth were at times it is mentioned that Jannah lies under the feet of the mother and at times it states that your parents are your Jannah or your Jahannam.

May Allah give us all the understanding of Deen and give us the inclination to send our children to the Darul Ulooms to teach them their religion and importance of parents so that they can be the coolness of their parents' eyes. Aameen

Q and A

- Taken from http://www.jamiat.co.za/newsletter/online_newsletter_0319.htm

Question: What reply could be given to someone who says that only the Qur'ân should be implemented since it is God's word that is immune to change?
Answer: The reply is simple. Numerous are the Qur'ânic verses that require us to obey Allâh's messenger. If one abandons what the Prophet says, one is definitely going against this order, repeatedly stated in the Qur'ân: ‘And whatsoever the messenger gives you, take it and whatsoever he forbids, you abstain from it’. (59:7)
Hence, his claim to follow the Qur'ân is false. As for authenticity, the Prophet's Sunnah has been verified and its authenticity has been established beyond doubt. This means that no one could ignore the Sunnah if he or she wants to fulfill Allâh's orders.And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best.

Muslim Unity: by Khalid Baig

Taken from http://attalib.blogspot.com/2008/05/muslim-unity-by-khalid-baig.html

"I gave a lot of thought to the causes of the sorry state of this ummah, during the years of my captivity in Malta," said Sheikh-ul-Hind Maulana Mahmood-ul-Hasan. It was 1920, and at 69, he was not only one of the most distinguished scholars of his time, he also had spent a life time in political activism. His audience was a gathering of ulema, eager to hear the lessons of a life time of study, struggle, and reflection. His conclusion: "Our problems are caused by two factors; abandoning the Qur'an and our in-fighting." He spent the few remaining days of his life addressing these causes.

These reasons are valid even today. They are also related, the second being caused by the first. The Qur'an had declared us one brotherhood and had warned us against in-fighting. We have ignored those teachings and the billion-strong ummah has turned into an ummah fragmented into a billion segments.

A very large number of our internal battles is the result of narrowly defined self-interests. Islam could have been the force that helped us overcome that. Unfortunately, instead of letting it fulfill that role, today we have made even religion provide us with additional and unresolvable points of conflict. We fight over petty issues of fiqh. We fight over fine points of religious interpretation. We turn minor points of religious law into big battlegrounds while most important and fundamental teachings of religion are violated.

We do all this even as this religion has been under attack from all directions. Thousands of people become apostates every year in Pakistan. Qadianis (who declare Mirza Ghulam Ahmed of Qadian to be a prophet), and munkareen-e-hadith have been busy attracting our new generations to their falsehoods. Haram is being declared as halal. Our masses are ignorant of their religion and easily indulge in customs borrowed from polytheists. On top of all that is the western culture of hedonism, of shamelessness, of moral anarchy, that is invading our societies through film, television, radio, and obscene literature. Corruption of all sorts has permeated all layers of our society. Should not we be reflecting on this and asking ourselves what would the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, expect of us, the heirs of the prophets? In the hereafter shall we be able to give a sufficient answer by mentioning that we wrote a book on rafa-yadain (the issue of raising hands during certain movements in obligatory prayer)?

Once I saw Maulana Anwar Shah Kashmiri in a very sad mood. What is the matter, I asked. "I have wasted my whole life," he said. "You have spent your entire life in spreading Islamic teachings.

Thousands of your disciples are themselves ulema who are serving the religion. If that is a waste, what hope can anyone else have?" I insisted. "Look, what has been the main thrust of all our efforts," he replied. "It has been to show why Hanafi school is better than others. Imam Abu Hanifa did not need this. His grandeur did not need our approval. Imam Shafii, Imam Malik, and Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal could not care less about it. All that one can ever prove in these matters is that a certain position is right but has the probability of being wrong and the other position is wrong but has the probability of being right. Moreover, these issues will not be resolved even in the hereafter. For Allah will not humiliate Imam Shafii, Abu Hanifa, Malik, or Ahmed bin Hanbal by showing that they were in error." Then he added: "Today when the roots of Islam are under attack, we have been busy taking care of the leaves."

It is not that debates or disagreements in religious interpretation are themselves evil. Today many western educated Muslims, with scant understanding of their religion do think that way. Some even suggest that we should bury all fiqhi schools and create a new one. This is neither possible nor desirable. Differences of opinion are inevitable wherever people have both intellect and honesty. Complete consensus on every issue is possible only when either everyone is dumb, so they cannot think of a different idea, or they are dishonest so they willingly agree with a position that they consider wrong. After all religious interpretations are not personal rights that can be sacrificed away.

The problem occurs when we overstate these differences. There were differences of opinion in fiqh among the Companions, their followers, and the great mujtahideen. But they did not turn these into fights. They disagreed but they maintained respect and love for each other. The brotherhood remained intact. They had tolerance for the other view.

How can we have tolerance for something we know is wrong? Of course we cannot have any tolerance for anything clearly established as wrong by Qur'an or Hadith. We can never show accommodation for apostasy. We can never agree on changing the Shariah's established definitions of halal and haram. But beyond this there are issues about which Qur'an and Sunnah are silent or are subject to more than one interpretation. Here the mujtahideen deduce the intent of Qur'an and Sunnah based on their best ability. Here disagreements are possible. As long as those involved are qualified mujtahideen (like the four respected imams), their differing views have to be respected. We can follow only one opinion, and we should try and determine the one closest to the intent of the Shariah, but we cannot declare opposing views as evil. We exaggerate when we deal with people holding valid opposing views as if they were outside the bounds of Islam.

Overstatement (ghuloo) is the main cause of most fights involving our religious groups. It also happens with Islamic organizations. Most are doing useful work in the areas they chose based on their abilities and inclinations. Had they developed a spirit of cooperation and considered their differences as just a natural division of labor, together they could have become a formidable force. Unfortunately each one of them considers their work and methodology as the only methodology for Islamic work. If a person leaves one of these organizations to join another, he is treated as if he had recanted his faith. This is ghuloo. It produces the tribalism of jahiliya (the pre-Islamic period of ignorance) among religious workers.

Pious people are not extinct today. What we sorely need is the reformers who can rise above their narrow perspectives and heed the universal and unifying call of Islam.

The Bay`ah: A Pledge of Love and Loyalty


Extracted from the Malfoozat of Hakim-ul-Ummah Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanwi, by Hazrat Maulana Masihullah Khan in Shariat and Tasawwuf
---------------------
Bay’ah is a mutual pledge relating to the striving, arranging, executing and adhering to the laws of A’maal Zahiri and A’maal Batini (external and internal deeds). This pledge is called the Bay’ah of Tareeqat which has been in prevalent by authoritative transmission from generation to generation from the earliest time of Islam.

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) had enacted Bay’ah of the Sahaabah not only on Jihad, but on Islam and the adherence of the Ahkam (Laws in general) as well on practical deeds (A’maal). This is established by numerous Ahaadith. The following hadeeth is one such Hadeeth:
“Auf Bin Malik Ashja`i (Radhiyallahu ‘anhu) said: We were with Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam), seven, eight or nine (of us), when he said: ‘Will you not make Bay’ah (pledge) to the Messenger of Allah?’
We stretched our hands and enquired: On what shall we make Bay’ah to you, O Rasul of Allah? He said:
‘That you make the ‘Ibaadah of Allah; that you associate nothing with Him; that you perform the five Salah; that you hear and obey.” (Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawud, Nisa`i)
On this occasion the bay’at which Rasulullah (saws) took from the Sahaabah was neither Bay’ah of Islam nor Bay’ah of Jihad (Pledge to wage Jihad). This Hadeeth is categorical proof for the validity of the system of Bay’ah in which has been prevalent amongst the Masha`ikh of Tasawwuf.

Like there are four Mathabs (Schools of Thought) in Fiqh, viz. Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki and Hanbali, so too are there four schools of thought in Tasawwuf, viz., Chishtiyya, Qadiriyyah, Naqshbandiyyah and Suharwardiyyah. The Akaabir (pious predecessors) of the subcontinent (authorities in Tasawwuf) enter into Bay’ah in all the four Schools of Thought (Silsilahs) so that respect for the four Silsilahs is maintained, although Chishtiyyat is dominant.

The founder of the Chishtiyya Silsilah is Hadhrat Khwajah Mu’eenuddin Chishti Ajmeri (rahmatullah alayh); founder of the Qadiriyyah Order is Hadhrat Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (rahmatullah alayh); founder of the Naqshbandiyyah Order is Hadhrat Shaykh Bahauddin Naqshbandi (rahmatullah alayh); and the founder of the Suharwardiyyah Silsilah is Hadhrat Shaykh Shihabuddin Suharwardi (rahmatullah alayh).

THE MODE OF BAY`AH :

The Bay’ah is enacted by the Shaikh taking into his right hand the right hand of the mureed (disciple). If the group contracting the Bay’ah is large, the Shaikh uses a length of cloth onto which each member of the group holds with his right hand. Ladies who contract the Bay’ah do so from behind a screen. A mahram of the lady should also be present at the Bay’ah ceremony.

Hadhrat Aishah (Radhiyallahu anha) said:
“The hand of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) never touched the hand of a strange woman, but he would make the (pledge- Bay’ah) upon her. Upon having made the Bay’ah he would say. ‘Go! Indeed, I have already made Bay’ah with you.’ ” (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud)
It is for this reason that in entering ladies into the Bay’ah, the Masha`ikh do so verbally or by means of a cloth which is spread from the Shaikh to the lady. This is the method of Bay’ah when in the presence of the Shaikh. Those who are not able to present themselves personally to the Shaikh could contract the Bay’ah by means of a letter or through the agency of a responsible and trustworthy person. This form of Bay’ah is called Bay’ah-Uthmani. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) on the occasion of Bay’atur-Ridhwan made the Bay’ah of Hadhrat Uthmaan in his (Uthmaan’s) absence. On this occasion, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) placed his right hand on his left hand and announced that he has made Bay’ah of Uthmaan. (The Bay’ah in absence of the mureed is therefore termed Bay’ah-Uthmaani,)

TA’LEEM (INSTRUCTION) AT THE TIME OF BAY`AH:

  • Certain instructions are given to the mureed at the time of Bay’ah.
    1. Firstly, is the qadha (fulfillment) of Salah and Fasts which were omitted. The qadha should be executed by performing along with each daily Salah a Qadha Salah of the same time, e.g. along with the Adaa Maghrib Salah, a Qadha Maghrib Salah should be made. During Isha, the Witr omitted should also be made. In making the qadha only the Fardh and Witr are made. It is however preferable to perform a number of qadha Salah collectively at one time or in a single day, e.g. the Qadha Salah of several times or of several days. In this way quicker discharge of the obligation takes place.
    2. Discharging any monetary obligations of others if one is liable for such obligations. Such discharge is either by making the due payment or by obtaining the pardon of the one whose right is involved.
    3. Fully guarding the eyes, ears and the tongue; total abstention from haraam and mushtabah (doubtful) wealth; appearance, dress to be in conformity with the Sunnat; total abstention from innovation and un-Islamic customs and practices on occasions of happiness and sorrow; to refrain from unlawful methods in all affairs; to constantly bear in mind not to harm anyone by means of one’s hand or tongue; not to hurt anyone; refraining from association; meeting according to need; and abstaining from unnecessary conversation.
    4. Constantly maintaining the thikr of Kalimah Tayyibah, i.e. while walking, sitting, reclining and laying down. Including all the other wazeefas, auraad, and advices given by the Shaikh.

THE NATURE OF BAY`AH:

The meaning of Bay’ (بيع : to make a transaction) is inherent in Bay’ah (بيعة). Bay’ah thus implies that the mureed “sells” himself to the Shaikh. In other words he has made a transaction with the Shaikh in preparation of Ahkam-e-zahirah and Ahkam-e-batinah (i.e. to learn to give practical expression to the Law of Allah Ta’ala). The nature of this “transaction” envisages that the searcher after the truth (talib) should repose implicit trust and faith in his Shaikh.

He should understand and accept that the advices and prescriptions, admonitions and prohibitions of the Shaikh are all designed and motivated for his (the mureed’s) spiritual well-being. The talib shall not interfere with or impede the diagnosis and prescriptions of the Shaikh. He should have implicit faith to such an extent that he should believe that in all the world there is none in his knowledge who can benefit him more than his Shaikh.

In the terminology of Tasawwuf this conception of implicit faith in the Shaikh is known as wahdat-e-matlab (unity of purpose). Minus this conception, the act of Bay’ah is meaningless and of no benefit because congeniality/compatibility (munaasabat) with the Shaikh is an essential condition for islaah (reformation) of the nafs.

The sign of the existence of compatibility (munaasabat) between the Mureed and his Shaikh is that the heart of the mureed does not object to the respect, statements and acts of the Shaikh. Should any objection arise in the heart regarding the Shaikh, the mureed should grieve and feel remorse.

The external form of Bay’ah is beneficial to the general public since it induces reverence and respect in them for the Shaikh. As a result, they readily accept the Shaikh’s statements and are constrained to act accordingly. However, for the elite (khawaas), i.e. the Ulama, Bay’ah proves beneficial after a period has been spent in association with the Shaikh. By virtue of Bay’ah a bond of sincerity (khulus) is generated between the mureed and the Shaikh. The Shaikh considers the mureed to belong to him and the mureed considers the Shaikh to belong to him. There does not remain any suspense between them.

THE NEED FOR A SHAIKH :

It has always been in the Divine Scheme of things that perfection cannot be attained without an expert instructor. Thus when one is endowed with the guidance to enter into the Road of Tareeqat, one should search for an Instructor of Tareeqat so that one may reach the true goal through the medium of his graceful instruction and auspicious companionship.
“O my heart! If you desire to undertake this journey, hold on to the garment of the Guide,
Whoever treads the Path of Love without a Companion, his life passed by without attaining love.”

Hadhrat Hakim-ul Ummah (Rahimahullah) therefore says:
“What! Has anyone attained perfection by only books? It is simple to understand that one cannot become a carpenter without sitting in the company of a carpenter; one cannot become a tailor without the companionship of a tailor; one cannot become a calligraphist without the company of a calligrapher. In short, one cannot attain perfection or become an expert without the companionship of an expert.”

The companionship of a pious person will induce piety in you. Similarly, the companionship of an evil person will induce evil in you. He, who searches for association with Allah Ta’ala, has to acquire the association of the Awliyaa-e-Kiram. A short while spent in the companionship of Awliyaa is nobler and superior to a century of unostentatious obedience. Companionship with the pious for even a moment is superior to a century of zuhd (abstention) and ta’at (obedience) of a hundred years.

BENEFITS OF BECOMING BAY`AH:

A qualified Shaikh (of Tareeqat) by virtue of his insight and experience discerns the reality and if one is connected to such a Shaikh, he informs one of the errors and pitfalls.
The mureed is thus saved from these dangers. Assuming that the Saalik (one who treads the Path of Tasawwuf) because of intelligence and correct understanding discerns the pitfalls, then too, he will not attain tranquility and peace of mind because of inexperience. He will remain perplexed. And, perplexity impedes the attainment of the goal.
This is the responsibility of the Shaikh. More than this is not his responsibility. Nevertheless, in kindness he performs another function as well. In realizing the goal or the initial stage of the goal or in eliminating an evil attribute, the searcher of the truth undergoes great stress and difficulty although repeated subjection to such difficulty finally becomes transformed into ease.
But, the Shaikh sometimes as a favor devises such a scheme that the difficulty disappears from the very inception.

This is a brief exposition for understanding. The need for a Shaikh is felt and understood once one commences in the Path and systematically informs the Shaikh of one’s particular conditions and at the same time following his advice and instructions. Furthermore, such total obedience is possible only if one has full trust and confidence in the Shaikh, fully submitting to him. At that time one will actually feel and realize that it is not possible to attain the goal normally without a Shaikh.”

SMILE

-------------One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read, "...and so the pig went up to the man with the wheel barrow full of straw and said, "Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?" The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?" One little boy raised his hand and said, "He probably said 'Oh Nooo! A talking pig!'" The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.
