2011 ഏപ്രില്‍ 1 വെള്ളി

അഫ്സലിന്റെ നിക്കാഹിനു വേണ്ടി ഷാര്‍ജയിലേക്ക് യാത്ര പുറപ്പെട്ടതായിരുന്നു .ബസ്സിലായിരുന്നു യാത്ര .കൂടെ വി.വി.എം പാവൂരും .ഞാന്‍ ബസ്‌ സ്റ്റാന്‍ഡില്‍ എത്തുമ്പോഴേക്കും ടിക്കറ്റ് എടുത്തു പാവൂര്‍ എന്നെ കാത്തിരിക്കയായിരുന്നു വെള്ളിയാഴ്ചയായിരുന്നത് കൊണ്ട് നാട്ടിലെ മാവേലി സ്റ്റോറിന്റെ   മുമ്പിലുള്ള പോലെ നീണ്ട ക്യുവായിരുന്നു.
ആദ്യത്തെ ബസ്സ്‌ ഫുള്‍ ആയപ്പോള്‍ രണ്ടാമത്തെ ബസ്സെങ്കിലും കിട്ടണേ എന്നായി ഞങ്ങളുടെ ആഗ്രഹം ,കാരണം ജുമുഅക്ക്  മുമ്പെങ്കിലും ഷാര്‍ജയില്‍    എത്തണം,ഏതായാലും ഇരിക്കാന്‍ സ്ഥലം കിട്ടിയില്ല എങ്കിലും രണ്ടാമത്തെ ബസ്സില്‍ ഞങ്ങള്‍  നിന്ന് യാത്ര തുടര്‍ന്ന് ,ഷിന്‍ന്തക ടണലും കഴിഞ്ഞു സുന്ദരമായ ദുബായ്  പട്ടണത്തിന്റെ
വിരിമാറിലൂടെ ബസ്സ്‌ അതിവേഗം കുതിച്ചപ്പോള്‍ അരമണിക്കൂര്‍ കൊണ്ട് ഞങ്ങള്‍ ഷാര്‍ജയില്‍  എത്തി .
എനിക്ക് ഷാര്‍ജ യെ കുറിച്ച് അത്ര പരിചയമില്ലെങ്കിലും പാവൂര്‍ ഷാര്‍ജയില്‍ ജനിച്ചു വളര്‍ന്നത്‌ പോലെ ഓരോ
മുക്കും മൂലയും തല ഉയര്‍ത്തി അഹംഭാവത്തോടെനില്‍ക്കുന്ന കെട്ടിടത്തിന്റെ പേരും മനപാഠമാണെന്ന് തോന്നി .
ഏകദേശം ജുമുഅ നമസ്കാര  സമയം ആയതു കൊണ്ട് ഞങ്ങള്‍ നേരെ അടുത്തുള്ള പള്ളിയിലേക്ക് തന്നെ പോയി.
വളരെ വളരെ വിശാലമായ പള്ളിയായിരുന്നു അത് .പളളിനിറയെ ആള്‍ക്കൂട്ടവും ,വളരെ പ്രായമായ
ഒരു അറബിയായിരുന്നു ഖുതുബ നിര്‍വഹിക്കാന്‍ വന്നത് .പക്ഷെ അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ പ്രസംഗത്തില്‍  ഒരു യുവത്വത്തിനെ ഗാംഭീര്യം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു ,അവസാന നാളിനെ കുറിച്ചുള്ള ആ ഖുതുബ ഏകദേശം അരമണിക്കൂര്‍ നീണ്ടു നിന്ന്.
ജുമുഹ നമസ്കാരം കഴിഞ്ഞു ഞങ്ങള്‍ പുറത്തിറങ്ങി അഫ്സലിന്റെ നിക്കാഹ നടക്കുന്ന ഹോട്ടല്‍  ലക്ഷ്യമാക്കി നടന്നു നീങ്ങി ,വഴിയില്‍ വെച്ച് തന്നെ അഫ്സലിന്റെ സഫ്രീനയുടെ ഉപ്പ ബഷീര്‍ച്ചാനെ കണ്ടു മുട്ടി ,അവരോടു സലാം പറഞ്ഞു പരിജയപ്പെട്ടു ഞങ്ങള്‍   മെല്ലെ ഹോട്ടലിലേക്ക് കയറി .
അപ്പോഴേക്കും മൈ കാസര്‍ഗോഡ്‌ കൂട്ടായ്മയുടെ ഏകദേശം മെമ്പര്‍മാരും കുടുംബക്കാരും സുഹുര്തുക്കളും അവിടെ എത്തിയിരുന്നു , നികാഹ് സദസ്സിന്റെ വാതില്‍ക്കല്‍ തന്നെ നമ്മുടെ പുതുമാരന്‍ യുവകോമളന്‍ അഫ്സല്‍ വരുന്നവരെയൊക്കെ കൈകൊടുത്തു സ്വീകരിക്കുന്നുണ്ടായിരുന്നു .
അവന്‍ ധരിച്ച ആ പുതിയാപ്പിള കുപ്പായം അവനിക്കു ശരിക്കും ഇണങ്ങിയപ്പോള്‍ അഫ്സലിന്റെ പുഞ്ചിരിക്കു പതിവില്‍ കവിഞ്ഞ സൗന്ദര്യമുണ്ടായിരുന്നു ,,ആ പുഞ്ചിരിയുടെ പ്രകാശം അവിടെയൊക്കെ പരക്കുന്നത് പോലെ
നിക്കഹിന്റെ സമയം അടുത്തപ്പോള്‍ ഞങ്ങളുടെ പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട സദര്‍ മുജീബിച്ച ശരിക്കും ഒരു മുദരിസായി   എല്ലാവരെയും നിക്കാഹിന്‍റെ സദസ്സിലേക്ക് സ്വഗതം ചെയ്തു ,
നിക്കാഹിന്‍റെ പവിത്ര വജനങ്ങള്‍ സദസ്സില്‍ മുഴങ്ങി ,ഉസ്താദ്മാരെയും ബന്തുക്കളെയും ചങ്ങാതിമാരെയും  സക്ഷി നിര്‍ത്തി   10 പവന്‍ മഹറിനു പകരം അഫ്സല്‍ സഫ്രീനാനെ സ്വന്തമാക്കിയപ്പോള്‍ അവന്റെ മുഖത്ത് ഒരു ലോകം പിടിച്ചടക്കിയ സന്തോഷമുണ്ടായിരുന്നു .
കഴുത്തില്‍ ഹാരങ്ങളും ഹൃദയത്തില്‍ കുളിരും കണ്ണില്‍ സന്തോഷാശ്രുക്കളുമായി നിന്ന പുതുമാരനെ മൈ കാസര്‍ഗോഡ്‌ കൂട്ടായ്മയുടെ ചങ്ങാതിമാര്‍ കസേരയില്‍ ഇരുത്തി പാട്ടുകള്‍ പാടിയും സമ്മാനങ്ങള്‍ നല്‍കിയും സ്നേഹം പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു അറിയാവുന്ന ഭാഷയില്‍ അറിയാവുന്ന ശൈലിയില്‍   എത്ര എത്ര പാട്ടുകളാണ് എല്ലാവരും പടിയത്ത്‌ , നിയാസും റിയാസും  ശഹബാനും സാലിഹും,അമീറും,മുനീറും, പാവൂറും ഇല്ല്യാസുമൊക്കെ
അറിയാവുന്ന രീതിയില്‍ പാടിയപ്പോള്‍ ഏത് പരിപാടിയിലും പുഞ്ചിരിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് പതുക്കെ സംസാരിക്കുന്ന
വാത്സല്യത്തിന്റെ ആള്‍ രൂപമായ യുസുഫ്ച്ചയും പിന്നെ മുജീബ്ച്ചയും റഹീമും എം എ യും അശ്രഫും മുസ്തഫയും നജീബും   ബഷീറുമെല്ലാം ദഫ്മുട്ടിയും കൈമുട്ടിയും പ്രോത്സാഹിപ്പിച്ചപ്പോള്‍ ,,നമ്മുടെ കാസര്‍കോട്ട് ഒരു പുതിയാപ്പിള ചമയിക്കുന്നതിന്റെ രസവും സുഖവും എല്ലാവരും നുകരുകയായിരുന്നു .
മൈ കാസര്‍ഗോഡിന്റെ കൂട്ടുകാര്‍ തയ്യാറാക്കിയ മംഗള പത്രം അതിന്റെ എല്ലാ ഭംഗി യോട് കൂടി വായിച്ച സാദിഖ്....‌ മൂസ്സ എരിഞ്ഞോളിയുടെ മിഹ്രാജ് രാവിലെ കാറ്റേ എന്ന പാട്ട് അതിന്റെ എല്ലാ രസവും ഉള്‍കൊണ്ട് നാലുവരി പാടിയപ്പോള്‍

ഒരു ഉപ്പയെ പോലെ നിക്കഹിന്റെ എല്ലാ പരിപാടിക്കും ചുക്കാന്‍ പിടിച്ചു എല്ലാം ഭംഗിയായി തരണേ എന്ന പ്രാര്‍ത്ഥനയോടെ ഒത്തിരി ഒത്തിരി സന്തോഷത്തിലും ഇത്തിരി ടെന്‍ഷനിലുമായി ഒരു സഹോദരനെപോലെ ഒരു നല്ല സുഹൃത്തിനെപോലെ എല്ലാ സ്ഥലത്തും ഓടി നടന്ന സ്നേഹത്തിന്റെയും വാത്സല്ല്യ ത്തിന്റെയും ഒരു മരുപച്ച ഹരിത യത്തില്‍ നട്ടുവളര്‍ത്തിയ അഫ്സലിന്റെ പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട ആപ്പ ബദര്‍

പിന്നെ നിഷ്കളങ്കതയും, നിഷ്പക്ഷതയും കൊണ്ട് മനസ്സ് തുറന്നു ഒത്തിരി സംസാരിക്കുന്ന മൈ കാസര്‍ഗോഡ്‌ കൂട്ടായ്മയുടെ ശിഖിരത്തില്‍ വിരിഞ്ഞു വന്ന ഒരു അപൂര്‍വ ഇനം പൂവ് എന്ന് വിശ്വസിക്കാവുന്ന   എല്ലാ സ്ഥലത്തും സുഗന്ധം പരത്തി പാറി പറന്ന ബഷീര്‍ കാഞ്ഞങ്ങാട്... അതെ സഫ്രീനന്റെ പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട ചാച്ച .... പിന്നെ ശഹബാനും,റിയാസും,യാച്ചുവും, ഷബീറും തുടങ്ങി ഫോട്ടോ എടുത്തും ബിരിയാണി സപ്ലൈ ചെയ്ത് കറങ്ങി നടന്ന ഷംസീര്‍ ‍ വരെ മറ്റു കൂട്ടുകാരും   ബന്ധുക്കളും ചേര്‍ന്ന് നിക്കാഹ് വന്‍ വിജയമാക്കിയപ്പോള്‍ അത് മറക്കാന്‍ കഴിയാത്ത ഒരു അനുഭവമായി മാറി,, പ്രത്യേകിച്ചു മൈ കാസര്‍ഗോഡിന്

പാവം കരടിക്കുട്ടന്റെ പെടാപാട്...! സൂപ്പര്‍ വീഡിയോ!

ഇമ്തിയാസിനും, ഫൈസുവിനും നൌഷാദിനും ബമ്പര്‍ ലോട്ടറി !

2011-01-15T23:21:00.003+04:00

നമ്മുടെ ഇമ്തിയാസിനും, ഫൈസുവിനും നൌഷാദിനും കൂടി ഒരു ബമ്പര്‍ ലോട്ടറി പ്രൈസ് അടിച്ചു!

സൌജന്യമായി അമേരിക്കയിലേക്ക് ആഡംബര കപ്പലിലൂടെ ഒരു യാത്ര!

മൂവരും തുണിയും കുപ്പായവും .. എല്ലാം പെറുക്കി കൊച്ചിക്കു വിട്ടു ..അവിടെ നിന്നാണ് യാത്ര തുടങ്ങുന്നത്
ആടിയും പാടിയും പല സ്ഥലങ്ങള്‍ സന്തര്‍ഷിച്ചും അവര്‍ യാത്ര തുടര്‍ന്നു.. ദിവസങ്ങള്‍ പലത് പിന്നിട്ടു..

അങ്ങനെ ഒരു തിവസം രാത്രി മൂവരും സ്വിമ്മിംഗ് പൂളിന്റെ അടുത്തു കൂടി വായും നോക്കി നടക്കുകയായിരുന്നു...

പെട്ടെന്ന്നാണ് അതു സംഭവീച്ചത്‌... ബയങ്കരമായ കൊടുങ്കാറ്റ്! കൂട് ഭീകരമായ സുനാമിയും!

.........

ഇംതിയാസ്‌‌ മെല്ലെ കണ്ണ് തുറന്നു ... സൂര്യ പ്രകാശം കണ്ണില്‍ കൂത്തിക്കയറിയപ്പോള്‍ ഒന്നു ചിമ്മി വീണ്ടും തുറന്നു!

ഇംതിയാസ്‌‌ ഞെട്ടിപ്പോയി...!

ഏതോ ഒരു ദ്വീപിലാണ്‌ അവര്‍ എത്തിയത്.. ഇംതിയാസ്‌‌ അടുത്ത്‌ കിടക്കുന്ന ഫൈസുവിനെയും നൌഷാദിനേയും തട്ടി വിളിച്ചു..

പെട്ടെന്നു കുറേ കാട്ടു മനുഷ്യര്‍ അവളെ വളഞ്ഞു

"ഉലാ ലാല ലേലോ.... ഉലാ ലാല ലേലോ..."

മൂവരെയും പിടിച്ചു കെട്ടി മൂപ്പന്റെ അടുത്ത്‌ കൊണ്ട്‌ പോയി.

മൂവരും നടന്ന സംഭവങ്ങള്‍ വിവരിച്ചപ്പോള്‍ അവരോട്‌ അവിടെ താമസിച്ചൊല്ലാന്‍ പറഞ്ഞു " (ഇവരെ കാണാന്‍ നമ്മളെ പോലെ തന്നെയുണ്ട് മൂപ്പന്‍ ആത്മഗതം....)

അവര്‍ അവിടത്തെ സാഹചര്യവുമായി പൊരുത്തപ്പെടാന്‍ തുടങ്ങി..

ഒരു ദിവസം അവര്‍ ഇങ്ങനെ നടന്നു പോകുമ്പോള്‍ ഒരു കുളം കണ്ടു അതിലെ വെള്ളത്തിനു ചുവപ്പ്‌ നിറമാണ്‌.. അവര്‍ അതിന്റെ അരികിലേക്ക്‌ പോയി..

പെട്ടെന്നു ഇതു കണ്ട മൂപ്പന്‍ അവരെ തടഞ്ഞു പറഞ്ഞു "പാടില്ല അവിടെക്ക് പോകരുത്..ആ ചുവപ്പ്‌ വെള്ളം തൊട്ടാല്‍ ആ നാട്ടിലെ ഏറ്റവും വീരൂപിയായ പെണ്ണിനെ കൊണ്ട് കല്യാണം കഴ്‌പ്പിച്ചു നാട് കടത്തും..."

മൂവരും ശരി മൂപ്പ എന്ന ഭാവത്തില്‍ തലയാട്ടി.

ഒരു ദിവസം ഫൈസു അറിയാതെ ആ കുളത്തില്‍ കുളിച്ചു പോയി ( കുറെ കാലങ്ങള്‍ ശേഷം ഒരു കുളി !). അങ്ങനെ ഫൈസുവിനെ വീരൂപിയായ പെണ്ണിനെ കൊണ്ട് കല്യാണം കഴ്‌ിപ്പിച്ചു നാട് കടത്തി...

നാട്ടിലെത്തിയ ഫൈസുവിന്റെ അവസ്ഥ കണ്ട് നാട്ടുകാര്‍ക്കൊക്കെ സങ്കടമായി.. 'ഷെടാ എത്ര നല്ല ചെക്കനായിരുന്നു.. ഒന്ക്ക് എത്ര നല്ല പെണ്ണിനെ കിട്ടുമായിരുന്നു.. അവന്റെ ഒരു വിധി പാവം'..

കുറച്ചു ദിവസം കഴ്ിഞ്ചഞപ്പോള്‍ നൌഷാദും നാട്ടിലേക്ക് വന്നു കൂടെ വീരൂപിയാ പെണ്ണും.. ( നൌഷാദും ഓര്‍മ്മയില്ലാതെ കുളിച്ചു പോയി! )

ഇതു കണ്ട് സങ്കടത്തോടെ നാട്ടിലെ സുന്ദരിയായ പെണ്‍കുട്ടികള്‍ പറഞ്ഞു.. പാവം നൌഷാദ് … ഒന്ന്ക്‌ നമ്മളെ ഒന്നും കണ്ടില്ലേ... പാവം വല്ലാതെ ഒരു വിധി തന്നെ...

അങ്ങനെ നാളുകള്‍ ഒരു പാട്‌ കഴിഞ്ഞു ... ഒരു ദിവസം കുമ്പള ബസ് സ്റ്റാന്‍ഡില്‍ ഒരാള്ല്‍ക്കൂട്ടം .... നാടുകാര്‍ എല്ലാവരും ആശ്ച്ചര്യതോടെയും അമ്പരപ്പോടെയും പരസ്പരം മൂറു മുറുക്ക്കുന്നു .. നോക്കുമ്പോള്‍ അതാ നമ്മുടെ

ഇംതിയാസ്‌ സുന്ദരിയായ ഒരു പെണ്ണിനേയും കൂടി ബസ് ഇറങ്ങി വരുന്നു...

എല്ലാവര്‍ക്കും അത്ഭുതമായി.. വെറും വായ്നോക്കിയായ ഇമ്ത്യാസിനു എങ്ങനെ ഇത്ര അതിസുന്ദരിയായ പെന്നിനെ കിട്ടി!

സൂഹറ്തതുക്കളെ നിങ്ളോടണ് ചോദ്യം? ഇമ്ത്യാസിനു എങ്ങനെ കിട്ടി ആ സുന്ദരിയെ ?

..........

Google Buzz Settlement

2010-11-03T07:49:00.001+04:00

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- On October 7, 2010, federal district court Judge James Ware preliminarily approved a class action settlement related to the launch of Google Buzz last February. The settlement resolves a lawsuit filed by Gmail users who alleged that Buzz’s launch violated their privacy.

“We are satisfied with the agreement and are glad to move forward,” said a Google spokesperson. “We have always been committed to offering users transparency and choice in Buzz and all our products, and will continue to work together with users to provide the best experience possible.”

Immediately following the Buzz launch in February of this year, Google moved quickly to make significant product improvements including increased visibility, an updated start up process featuring auto-suggestions, and adding Buzz to the Google Dashboard. In April, Google rolled out a “second chance” encouraging Buzz users to check and verify their privacy settings.

The settlement agreement acknowledges the important changes Google has made to Buzz. As part of the settlement agreement, Google will create an $8.5 million fund, the majority of which will go to organizations focused on Internet privacy education and policy, and will make additional efforts to educate users about the privacy aspects of Buzz.

Gary E. Mason, counsel for the plaintiffs in the litigation, said, “We feel this settlement has many benefits to class members, including providing a significant amount of money to non-profit groups committed to educating users about Internet privacy and ensuring that Buzz users can join this on-line community without compromising their privacy.”

The Court will consider final approval of the proposed settlement on January 31, 2011. Full details on the settlement are available at http://www.buzzclassaction.com/

Mike Tyson's Umrah Journey

2010-09-05T14:30:00.001+04:00

MADINA – Former US heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who is on a visit to the Kingdom to perform Umrah, Sunday prayed at the Quba’ and Qiblatain mosques.

He also visited the Islamic University and met the university’s president, Dr. Muhammad Al-Oqla, and American nationals studying there.

Tyson was mobbed whereever he went. Large numbers of fans gathered around the hotel where he is staying near the Prophet’s Mosque. Some people waited for hours just to see him and take his pictures.

Tyson had to scurry toward the Prophet’s Mosque for Dhuhr prayers as fans gathered around him in large numbers. He used the Shimagh of one of his companions to cover his head but the fans recognized him and followed him.

“I am happy that I have fans who love me here in the Kingdom, but I hope they leave me alone to enjoy my spiritual moments at the Holy Sites,” he said.

“I couldn’t resist shedding tears when I came to know that I was in one of the gardens of paradise,” Tyson said referring to Arrawda in the Prophet’s Mosque.

Tyson was accompanied by Shahzad Muhammad, head of the Canadian Dawah Association, which organized his visit to Saudi Arabia .

“Tyson became emotional when offering Salam to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him),” said Shahzad.

“He cried for more than half an hour while standing in front of the Prophet’s grave, raising his hands.”

“He remained in front of the Rawdah for hours praying, reciting the Qur’an and making supplications,” Shahzad said.

Later Mike Tyson went to the Meqat to change into Ihram for Umrah. - Okaz/SG

When Allah wishes, He does it. Seek Guidance from Allah. Verily from Allah we came we will return one day.

Please seek forgiveness from Allah and repent your sins as the Final hour of your life is coming closer.

ഉമര്‍ കരയുകയായിരുന്നു!

2010-08-27T08:13:00.001+04:00

ഒരു ദിവസം ഉമര്(റ) തിരുനബിയുടെ വീട്ടിലെത്തി. നബി ഈത്തപ്പനയോലയില് വിശ്രമിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു. ഉമറിനെ കണ്ടപ്പോള് തിരുനബി എഴുന്നേറ്റു. ഉമര്, നബിയുടെ അരികത്തിരുന്നു. തിരുനബിയുടെ പുറത്ത് പനയോലപ്പാടുകള് തെളിഞ്ഞു കാണാമായിരുന്നു. നബി എന്തോ ചോദിച്ചു. പക്ഷേ, ഉമര് മുറിയുടെ ചുറ്റും നോക്കുകയായിരുന്നു.

സ്നേഹറസൂല് കൂട്ടുകാരനെ നോക്കി. ഉമര് കരയുകയായിരുന്നു!

കൊച്ചുകുഞ്ഞിനെപ്പോലെ അദ്ദേഹം വിതുമ്പി. അദ്ദേഹത്തെ തലോടിക്കൊണ്ട് നബി ചോദിച്ചു:

``ഉമര്, എന്തിനാണ് കരയുന്നത്?''

Google to allow phone calls from Gmail

2010-08-25T23:38:00.002+04:00

New York: Google Inc said users of Gmail will now be able to call telephones directly from their email, putting it in direct competition with Web calling service Skype and companies such as AT&T Inc.

While Google had already offered computer-to-computer voice and video chat services, starting on Wednesday it said it will allow calls to home phones and mobile phones directly from Gmail for the first time.

Google promised free calls to US and Canadian phones from Gmail for the rest of this year and said it would charge low rates for calls made to other countries.

For example it said calls to the U.K, France, Germany, China and Japan would be as low as 2 cents per minute.

It said making a call works like a normal phone in that a user could click on the "call phone" option in their chat buddy list and type the number or enter a contacts name.

Skype, owned by private equity firms and eBay Inc, has long allowed consumers to make phone calls from computers, as well as computer-to-computer voice and video calls. Skype said earlier this month it aims to raise as much as $100 million in a public share offering.

Boxer Muhammad Ali's advice to his daughter

2010-05-02T20:04:00.005+04:00

The following incident took place when Muhammad Ali's daughters arrived at

his home wearing clothes that were not modest. Here is the story as told
by one of his daughters:

“ When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila,
and me up to my father's suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door
waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could
possibly give in one day.

My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said

something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and

said, "Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and

hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground,

covered and protected.

Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the

ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.

Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers

and layers of rock.

You've got to work hard to get to them."

He looked at me with serious eyes. "Your body is sacred. You're far more

precious than diamonds and pearls, and your body should be covered too."

The Aminah Assilmi Story:Former Baptist explains why she is now a Muslim

2010-03-17T12:11:00.000+04:00

Aminah Assilmi, a national Muslim community activist in the US, Sister Aminah, who was 65, died in a acar accident on March 05 2010. She served as the Director of the International Union of Muslim Women. She was an internationally-respected author, an advocate for women’s rights and a renowned speaker on Islam.

The Aminah Assilmi Story

Former Baptist explains why she is now a Muslim
By Rebecca Simmons, Abilene Reporter-News, Saturday, November 1, 1997

She used to be a Southern Baptist, a radical feminist and a broadcast journalist. Now Aminah Assilmi is an ambassador of Islam.

The director of the International Union of Muslim Women, Assilmi calls Fairfield, Ohio, home. She travels the country speaking on college campuses, increasing public awareness and understanding of the faith.

She wears the traditional Islamic hijab, which includes a head scarf, covering her hair and neck and modest clothing with long sleeves.

Last week at the University of Tennessee, Assilmi spoke to a near-full audience on the status of women in Islam in her lecture, “A Muslim woman speaks from behind the veil.”

Assilmi cautions critics who say that women are oppressed in some predominately Muslim countries. She says their practices are cultural, not Islamic.

“People who are held down, are held down by ignorance,” she said. “They follow cultural practices. Do not judge Islam by these individuals who have only practiced like the people in their family.”

But, Assilmi told audiences, she hasn’t always been a Muslim and a proponent of Islam.

Meeting her first “real life Muslims” when she took a college theater class some years ago, Assilmi said she almost dropped the class when she walked into the room and saw some Arab students in traditional hijab.

In the handbook she authored, “Choosing Islam,” Assilmi writes, “There was no way I was going to sit in a room with dirty heathens. .. I shut the door and went home.”

After her husband encouraged her to go back to the theater class, Assilmi said she felt it her duty to “convert the poor, ignorant Muslims.”

Hoping to convert the students to Christianity, Assilmi began to study the Koran, the holy book of Islam, in a quest to prove that Mohammed was a false prophet and that Islam was not a valid religion.

But the more she read, the more she became interested in Islam. She was particularly interested in what the Koran had to say about men and women.

Islamic women, she thought, “were freely beaten by their husbands and tossed aside.”

Assilmi says she had based her opinion on stereotypes; and soon found out those ideas were not in keeping with the Koran.

Through intense study, she said she learned that Islamic women are equal to men and are paid according to the job they do regardless of their gender. Both men and women have equal rights to education. Islamic women have had the right to own property for more than 1,400 years. And when a woman marries, she does not change her last name, but keeps her father’s last name.

Thus, Assilmi told her college audience, “We remain our own distinct individual.”

“For two years I studied in order to convert Muslims to Christianity,” she said.

But during that time Assilmi said she started to change. Her husband began to notice that she no longer had an interest in going to bars or parties. She was content to stay home and study the Koran.

“I was quiet and more distant,” Assilmi writes in her handbook.

Her husband attributed the changes in her to another man and the couple separated.

After she moved out with their three children, Assilmi was visited by a Muslim holy leader who answered her questions about the faith. He asked her if she believed in only one God and Assilmi said yes. He asked her if she believed Mohammed was His messenger. Again she said yes.

“He told me I was already a Muslim. I argued that I was a Christian, I was just trying to understand Islam. I couldn’t be a Muslim! I was an American and white!

“We continued talking. Later he explained that attaining knowledge and understanding of spirituality was a little like climbing a ladder.”

The first rung on the ladder was the Shahadah, a statement of belief that there is no God but the one God and Mohammed was his messenger. The Shahadah, done before witnesses, is in the Islamic faith, the Christian equivalent of a statement of belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

For Assilmi, taking Shahadah in 1977 was the first step toward a a deeper understanding of Islam.

But she still had a few hang-ups — like hijab. Hijab is the modest dress worn by both Muslim men and women; however its most recognizable feature is the head scarf worn by women.

“I agreed with modesty, but I was vain about my hair,” Assilmi said. “The Koran tells us to cover ourselves to be identified as Muslims. I am a Muslim and I know what my God-given rights are. Hijab is not a requirement or restriction, but a right and a privilege. I would fight to the death to wear it.”

“I gave up being a women’s liberationist — it wasn’t fulfilling — I became a Muslim … Liberation, yeah, that’s Islam,” said Assilmi who adopted her name during the Iranian hostage crisis in 1980.

She adopted the new name “to protect my family from ignorance.” She no longer uses her given name.

Assilmi said Islamic women are not limited in professional fields by their religion. However, “The most powerful profession is being a mother. Because we form the mind of the next generation.”

Muslim women, she said, are often discriminated against because of the hijab.

“In this country it’s extremely difficult for Muslim women.”

That is why some Muslim women wear varying degrees of hijab. For example, some women might wear loose-fitting modest clothing, others may wear the head scarf, covering the hair and neck, and still others may have the courage to wear the face veil where only the eyes are visible.

An award-winning broadcaster in the Denver market, Assilmi lost her job when she began wearing Islamic dress.

She says the persecution is intense.

“I’ve been forced off the road before — beaten up — and I’ve never lifted a hand against anyone,” Assilmi said.

She even tried to wear the face veil, but said, “I could not handle the experience.”

The defining moment came when she tried to cash a check at her bank wearing the face veil. A bank security guard drew his gun preparing to shoot if she made any questionable moves.

For Assilmi, her job as a broadcaster was not the only thing she lost when she first chose Islam.

Her marriage over, she also lost custody of her children because the court decided that the “unorthodox religion” would be detrimental to them.

But since then, Assilmi says her children have converted to Islam and so have her parents and her ex-husband.

“Relatives of mine are still becoming Muslim right and left,” she said.

Now at “well over half a century” and having survived bone cancer, Assilmi has made two pilgrimages to Mecca, a holy trip that Muslims are instructed to take in their lifetime. The cancer weakened her bones and now she uses a wheelchair as a “mobility enhancement.”

“God decided that I would continue to live,” she said.

And, “I ceased to be afraid of anything. It became very important that I would speak the truth everywhere. I would have to answer to God for everything I do and say.

“I love sharing Islam.”

(Rebecca Simmons writes for The Knoxville News-Sentinel in Tennessee.)

Aminah Assilmi’s story of conversion to Islam in her own words.

This American lady, a former radical feminist and Southern Baptist from Oklahoma, studied the Quran, Sahih Muslim and fifteen other books on Islam in an attempt to convert the Arabs in her college class to Christianity and “save those poor ignorant heathens from the fires of hell.” But guess what happened!

The Introduction and Decision

I was completing a degree in Recreation, when I met my first Muslims. It was the first year that we had been able to pre-register by computer. I pre-registered and went to Oklahoma to take care of some family business. The business took longer than expected, so I returned to school two weeks into the semester (too late to drop a course).

I wasn’t worried about catching up my missed work. I was sitting at the top of my class, in my field. Even as a student, I was winning awards, in competition with professionals.

Now, you need to understand that while I was attending college and excelling, ran my own business, and had many close friends, I was extremely shy. My transcripts actually had me listed as severely reticent. I was very slow to get to know people and rarely spoke to anyone unless was forced to, or already knew them. The classes I was taking has to do administration and city planning, plus programming for children. Children were the only people I ever felt comfortable with.

Well, back to the story. The computer printout held one enormous surprise for me. I was registered for a Theatre class…a class were I would be required to perform in front of real live people. I was horrified! I could not even ask a question in class, how was I going to get on a stage in front of people? My husband was his usual very calm and sensible self. He suggested that I talk to the teacher, explain the problem, and arrange to paint scenery or sew costumes. The teacher agreed to try and find a way to help me out. So I went to class the following Tuesday.

When I entered the classroom, I received my second shock. The class was full of ‘Arabs’ and ‘camel jockeys’. Well, I had never seen one but I had heard of them.

There was no way I was going to sit in a room full of dirty heathens! After all, you could catch some dreadful disease from those people. Everyone knew they were dirty, not to be trusted either. I shut the door and went home. (Now, there is one little thing you should know. I had on a pair of leather hot pants, a halter top, and a glass of wine in my hands…but they were the bad ones in my mind.)

When I told my husband about the Arabs in the class and that there was no way I was going back, he responded in his usual calm way. He reminded that I was always claiming that God had a reason for everything and maybe I should spend some time thinking about it before I made my final decision. He also reminded me that I had a scholars award that was paying my tuition and if I wanted to keep it, I would have to maintain my G.P.A.. Three credit hours or ‘F’ would have destroyed my chances.

For the next two days, I prayed for guidance. On Thursday I went back to the class convinced that God had put me there to save those poor ignorant heathens from the fires of hell.

I proceeded to explain to them how they would burn in the fires of hell for all eternity, if they did not accept Jesus as their personal savior. They were very polite, but did not convert. Then, I explained how Jesus loved them and had died on the cross to save them from their sins. All they had to do was accept him into their hearts. They were very polite, but still did not convert. So, I decided to read their own book to show them that Islam was a false religion and Mohammed was a false God.

One of the students gave me a copy of the Qur’an and another book about Islam, and I proceeded with my research. I was sure I would find the evidence I needed very quickly. Well, I read the Qur’an and the other book. Then I read another 15 books, Sahih Muslim and returned to the Qur’an. I was determined I would convert them! My studies continued for the next one and half years.

During that time, I started having a few problems with my husband. I was changing, just in little ways but enough to bother him. We used to go to the bar every Friday and Saturday, or to a party, and I no longer wanted to go. I was quieter and more distant. He was sure I was having an affair, so he kicked me out. I moved into an apartment with my children and continued my determined efforts to convert the Muslims to Christianity.

The, one day, there was a knock on my door. I opened the door and saw a man in a long white night gown with a red and white checkered table cloth on his head. He was accompanied by three men in pajamas. (It was the first time I had ever seen their cultural dress.) Well, I was more than a little offended by men showing up at my door in night clothes. What kind of a woman did they think I was? Had they no pride or dignity? Imagine my shock when the one wearing the table cloth said he understood I wanted to be a Muslim! I quickly informed him I did not want to be a Muslim. I was Christian. However, I did have a few questions. If he had the time….

His name was Abdul-Aziz Al-Shiek and he made the time. He was very patient and discussed every question with me. He never made me feel silly or that a question was stupid. He asked me if I believed there was only one God and I said yes. Then he asked if I believed Mohammed was His Messenger. Again I said yes. He told me that I was already a Muslim!.

I argued that I was Christian, I was just trying to understand Islam. (Inside I was thinking: I couldn’t be a Muslim! I was American and white! What would my husband say? If I am Muslim, I will have to divorce my husband. My family would die!)

We continued talking. Later, he explained that attaining knowledge and understanding of spirituality was a little like climbing a ladder. If you climb a ladder and try to skip a few rungs, there was danger of falling. The Shahadah was just the first step on the ladder. Still we had to talk some more.

Later that afternoon, May 21, 1977 at Asr’, I took Shahadah. However, there were still some things I could not accept and it was my nature to be completely truthful so i added a disclaimer. I said: “I bear witness that there is no god but God and Mohammed is His Messenger” ‘but, I will never cover my hair and if my husband takes another wife, I will castrate him.’

I heard gasps from the other men in the room, but Abdul Aziz silenced them. Later I learned that he told the brothers never to discuss those two subjects with me. He was sure I would come to the correct understanding.

The Shahadah was indeed a solid footing on the ladder to spiritual knowledge and closeness to God. but it has been a slow climb. Abdul Aziz continued to visit me and answer my questions. May Allah reward him for his patience and tolerance. He never admonished me or acted like a question was stupid or silly. He treated each question with dignity and told me that the only stupid question was the one never asked. Hmmm…my grandmother used to say that.

He explained that Allah ahd told us to seek knowledge and questions were one of the ways to accomplish that. When he explained something, it was like watching a rose open – petal by petal, until it reached its full glory. When I told him that I did not agree with something and why, he always said I was correct up to a point. The he would show me how to look deeper and from different directions to reach a fuller understanding. Alhamdulillah!

Over the years, I had many teachers. Each one special, each one different. I am thankful for each one of them and the knowledge they gave. Each teacher helped me to grow and to love Islam more. As my knowledge increased, the changes in me became more apparent. Within the first year, I was wearing hijab. I have no idea when I started. It came naturally, with increased knowledge and understanding. In time I even came to to a proponent of polygamy. I knew that if Allah had allowed it, there had to be something good in it.

“Glorify the name of thy Guardian – Lord Most High, Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion; Who hath measured, and granted guidance; and Who bringeth out the (green and lush) pasture, and doth make it (but) swarthy stubble, By degrees shall We teach thee (The Message), so thou shalt not forget, except as Allah wills: for He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden. And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (path).” (Al-A’la 87:1-8)

When I first started to study Islam, I did not expect to find anything that I needed or wanted in my personal life. Little did I know that Islam would change my life. No human could have ever convinced me that I would finally be at peace and overflowing with love and joy because of Islam.

This book spoke of THE ONE GOD, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. It described the beautiful way in which He had organised the world. This wondrous Qur’an had all the answers. Allah is The Loving! Allah is the Source of Peace! Allah is the Protector! Allah is the Forgiver! Allah is the Provider! Allah is the maintainer! Allah is the Generous One! Allah is the Responsive! Allah is the Protecting Friend! Allah is the Expander!

“Have we not expanded thee thy breast? And removed from thee thy burden the which did gall thy back? And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)? So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief: Verily, with every difficulty there is relief!” (Al-Ishirah, 94: 1-6)

The Qur’an addressed all the issues of existence and showed a clear path to success. It was like a map forgiving, an owner manual for life!

How Islam changed my Life

“How much more we love the light…If once we lived in Darkness.”

When I first embraced Islam, I really did not think it was going to affect my life very much. Islam did not just affect my life. It totally changed it.

Family life: My husband and I loved each other very deeply. That love for each other still exists. Still, when I started studying Islam, we started having some difficulties. He saw me changing and did not understand what was happening. Neither did I. But then, I did not even realise I was changing. He decided that the only thing that could make me change was another man. There was no way to make him understand what was changing me because I did not know.

After I realised that I was a Muslim, it did not help matters. After all…the only reason a woman changes something as fundamental as her religion is another man. He could not find evidence of this other man…but he had to exist. We ended up in a very ugly divorce. The courts determined that the unorthodox religion would be detrimental to the development of my children. So they were removed from my custody.

During the divorce, there was a time when I was told I could make a choice. I could renounce this religion and leave with my children, or renounce my children and leave with my religion. I was in shock. To me this was not a possible choice. If I renounce my Islam….I would be teaching my children how to be deceptive. For there was no way to deny what was in my heart. I could not deny Allah, not then, not ever. I prayed like I had never prayed before. After the thirty minutes was up, I knew that there was no safer place for my children to be than in the hands of Allah. If I denied him, there would be no way in the future to show my children the wonders of being with Allah. The courts were told that I would leave my children in the hands of Allah. This was not a rejection of my children!

I left the courts knowing that life without my babies would be very difficult. My heart bled, even though I knew, inside, I had done the right thing. I found solace in Ayat-Ul-Khursi.

“Allah! There is no god but He – the Living, the Self-subsisting, Supporter of all. No slumber can seize him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and he feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is Most High, The Supreme (in Glory).” (Al-Baqarah, 2:255)

This also got me started looking at all the attributes of Allah and discovering the beauty of each one.

Child custody and divorce were not the only problems I was to face. The rest of my family was not very accepting of my choice either. Most of the family refused to have anything to do with me. My mother was of the belief that it was just a phase and I would grow out of it. My sister, the ‘mental health expert’ was sure I had simply lost my mind and should be institutionalised. My father believed I should be killed before placed myself deeper in Hell. Suddenly I found myself with no husband and no family. What would be next?

Friends: Most of my friends drifted away during that first year. I was no fun anymore. I did not want to go to parties or bars. I was not interested in finding a boyfriend. All I ever did was read that ’stupid’ book (the Qur’an) and talk about Islam. What a bore. I still did not have enough knowledge to help them understand why Islam was so beautiful.

Employment: My job was next to go. While I had won just about every award there was in my field and was recognised as a serious trend setter and money maker, the day I put on hijab, was the end of my job. Now I was without a family, without friends and without a job.

In all this, the first light was my grandmother. She approved of my choice and joined me. What a surprise! I always knew she had alot of wisdom, but this! She died soon after that. When I stop to think about it, I almost get jealous. The day she pronounced Shahadah, all her misdeeds had been erased, while her good deeds were preserved. She died so soon after accepting Islam that I knew her ‘BOOK’ was bound to be heavy on the good side. It fills me with such joy!

As my knowledge grew and I was better able to answer questions, many things changed. But, it was the changes made in me as a person that had the greatest impact. A few years after I went public with my Islam, my mother called me and said she did not know what this ‘Islam thing’ was, but she hoped I would stay with it. She liked what it was doing for me. A couple of years after that she called again and asked what a person had to do to be a Muslim. I told her that all person had to do was know that there was only ONE God and Mohammed was His Messenger. Her response was: “Any fool knows that. But what do you have to do?” I repeated the same information and she said: “Well…OK. But let’s not tell your father just yet.”

Little did she know that he had gone through the same conversation a few weeks before that. My real father (the one who thought I should be killed) had done it almost two months earlier. Then, my sister, the mental health person, she told me that I was the most ‘liberated’ person she knew. Coming from her that was the greatest compliment I could have received.

Rather than try to tell you about how each person came to accept Islam, let me simply say that more members of my family continue to find Islam every year. I was especially happy when a dear friends, Brother Qaiser Imam, told me that my ex-husband took Shahdah. When Brother Qaiser asked him why, he said it was because he had been watching me for 16 years and he wanted his daughter to have what I had. He came and asked me to forgive him for all he had done. I had forgiven him long before that.

Now my oldest son, Whittney, has called, as I am writing this book, and announced that he also wants to become Muslim. He plans on taking the Shahadah as the ISNA Convention in a couple of weeks. For now, he is learning as much as he can. Allah is The Most Merciful.

Over the years, I have come to be known for my talks on Islam, and many listeners have chosen to be Muslim. My inner peace has continued to increase with my knowledge and confidence in the Wisdom of Allah. I know that Allah is not only my Creator but, my dearest friend. I know that Allah will always be there and will never reject me. For every step I take toward Allah, He takes 10 toward me. What a wonderful knowledge.

True, Allah has tested me, as was promised, and rewarded me far beyond what I could ever have hoped for. A few years ago, the doctors told me I had cancer and it was terminal. They explained that there was no cure, it was too far advanced, and proceeded to help prepare me for my death by explaining how the disease would progress. I had maybe one year left to live. I was concerned about my children, especially my youngest. Who would take care of him? Still I was not depressed. We must all die. I was confident that the pain I was experiencing contained Blessings.

I remembered a good friend, Kareem Al-Misawi, who died of cancer when he was still in his 20’s. Shortly before he died, he told me that Allah was truly Merciful. This man was in unbelievable anguish and radiating with Allah’s love. He said: “Allah intends that I should enter heaven with a clean book.” His death experience gave me something to think about. He taught me of Allah’s love and mercy. This was something no one else had ever really discussed. Allah’s love!

I did not take me long to start being aware of His blessings. Friends who loved me came out of nowhere. I was given the gift of making Hag. Even more importantly, I learned how very important it was for me to share the Truth of Islam with everyone. It did not matter if people, Muslim or not, agreed with me or even liked me. The only approval I needed was from Allah. The only love I needed was from Allah. Yet, I discovered more and more people, who for no apparent reason, loved me. I rejoiced, for I remembered reading that if Allah loves you, He causes others to love you. I am not worthy of all the love. That means it must be another gift from Allah. Allah is the Greatest!

There is no way to fully explain how my life changed. Alhamdulillah! I am so very glad that I am a Muslim. Islam is my life. Islam is the beat of my heart. Islam is the blood that courses through my veins. Islam is my strength. Islam is my life so wonderful and beautiful. Without Islam, I am nothing and should Allah ever turn His magnificent face from me I could not survive.

“O Allah! let my heart have light, and my sight have light, and my hearing (senses) have light, and let me have light on my right, and let me have light on my left, and let me have light above me, and have light under me, and have light in front of me, and have light behind me; and let me have light.” (Bukhari, vol. 8. pp. 221, #329)

“Oh my Lord! Forgive my sins and my ignorance and my exceeding the limits (boundaries of righteousness) in all my deeds and what you know better than I. O Allah! Forgive my mistakes, those done intentionally or out of my ignorance or (without) or with seriousness, and I confess that all such mistakes are done by me. Oh Allah! Forgive my sins of the past and of the future which I did openly or secretly. You are the One who makes the things go before, and You are the One who delays them, and You are the Omnipotent.” (Bukhari, vol. , pp. 271, #407)

The Spirit of Hajj

2009-11-21T12:29:00.006+04:00

This Month is the Month of Hajj - Dhul Hajj. Around 30 lakhs of people have already arrived at Makkah to attend the annual ritual of Hajj. They come from all countries of the world with the same intention of completing Hajj, which is acceptable to Almighty God. Qur'an has commanded thus:

"And proclaim to mankind the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on very lean camel. They will come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform Hajj), that they may witness things that are of benefit to them. Let them complete their prescribed duties and perform their vows and circumambulate the ancient house" (Qur'an 22:27-29)

"Pilgrimage to the house is a duty to Allah by all people who are able to make the journey. As for those who disbelieve, Allah is in no need of anyone in all the worlds. Say: People of earlier revelation, why do you disbelieve in Allah?¦s revelations, when Allah Himself is witness to all that you do. Say: People of earlier revelation, why do you try to turn those who have come to believe, away from the path of Allah, seeking to make it turn crooked when you yourselves bear witness (to its being) straight)? Allah is not unaware of what you do" (Qur'an 3:97-99)

"The pilgrimage shall take place in the months appointed for it. And whoever undertakes the pilgrimage in those [months] shall, while on pilgrimage, abstain from lewd speech, from all wicked conduct, and from quarrelling; and whatever good you may do, God is aware of it. And make provision for yourselves - but, verily, the best of all provisions is God-consciousness: remain, then, conscious of Me, O you who are endowed with insight!" (Qur'an 2:197).

Pilgrimage was prescribed to the followers of all Prophets from Adam to Muhammad. It is one form of worship.

Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam to be performed by a Muslim who has the means and sufficient health to accomplish the same, the other pillars being Kalimah (confirmation of faith in one God), 5 times prayer per day, fasting in the month of Ramadan, Zakat (2.5% of money left with the individual after completion of one full year to be given to poor, needy, orphans, widows etc.). Hajj is the congregation of world Muslims in a specified place and time with the same object viz. obeying the Commandment of Allah - Lord of the Universe, Creator and Cherisher, with no beginning and no end. Hajj is compulsory once in life time, if the person has means to perform, by way money and health.

Hajj tests the patience, belief, spirit of sacrifice, humbleness, kindness, brotherly love, love towards God, readiness to give up all materials comfort and convenience for the will and plan of God.

The Month of Blessings, Welcome Ramadan..

2009-08-10T14:35:00.013+04:00

By Dr. 'Abdullaah Hakim Quick

" Ramdan in History" Originally published in The Message, Canada, January 1997

All praises to Allah, Lord of the worlds. He who revealed in His Glorious Qur'an, "O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those who came before you that you may keep your duty to your Lord (having taqwa)." (2:185). And may blessings and peace of Allah be upon His last Messenger Muhammad ibn Abdullah, forever.

O you who believe, Ramadan is a sacred month wherein Almighty Allah is constantly testing His creation and giving humanity the opportunity to achieve infinite, endless Bliss. Fasting is a complete purification and a means to developing the consciousness of Allah's presence. The consciousness of Allah (Taqwa) is a protection against the schemes of Shaitan, and the suffering of this world. Allah has informed us that,

"Whoever keeps his duty to Allah (has taqwa), He ordains a way out for him and gives him sustenance from where he imagines not. And whoever trusts in Allah, He is sufficient for him. Surely Allah attains His purpose. Allah has appointed a measure for everything." (65:2)

Many Muslims today have a misconception about fasting and the activities of a fasting person. They go into a state of semi-hibernation, spending most of their daylight hours in bad. If they fear Allah, they wake up for prayer, but then return to sleep immediately. This unnatural sleep makes them become lazy, dull-witted and often cranky.

Ramadan is actually a time of increased activity wherein the believer, now lightened of the burdens of constant eating and drinking, should be more willing to strive and struggle for Allah. The Prophet, sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam, passed through approximately nine Ramadans after the Hijrah. They were filled with decisive events and left us a shining example of sacrifice and submission to Allah.

“Ya Allah
I perceive the Prophet's features, as

yet unrevealed, on my beloved's

mien... Who but Mohammed would dare

to embrace a sinner and call her

Mother? I seek refuge in you, just

a moment or two, of forgetting,

for the weariest pilgrim of all

whose footfalls thumped the beaches, the hills

the proscenium of the brave old

cities of the world, where she strutted

singing of human love. Perfect her,

if perfecting is your task, this singer

who lost her voice, singing, this danseuse

whose fatigued limbs tremble. The icons

have all fallen. They lie in

misshapen heaps among the bushes

that sport dusty leaves, dusty flowers.

The temple bells have sunk into a vast

silence, a silence shaped like a paw

fallen on the city, cutting off

its breath and yet all I can think of

is my dear one's resplendent smile, he,

beloved of merciful Allah,

who has unhurriedly claimed me for his own.”

(Kamala Surraiya)

Boycott Israel Forever

2009-01-17T08:53:00.000+04:00

Join Boycott Israel Campaign...

Can the boycott really effect the Israeli economy?

Israel's economy is on the verge of total collapse with no sign of recovery despite cash injections from uncle Sam. Just last month (Oct 2002) Sharon begged Washington for $10 billion in emergency aid. Inflation is sky rocketing - even the official figure is over 4 times the government target. VAT has just been raised as have fuel bills and all basic living costs like food and rents. Unemployment is soaring and salary cuts are the order of the day.
This has resulted in a series of crippling general strikes - the last one bringing the country to a standstill - flight in and out of Israel had to be suspended, radio and television broadcasts stopped and health workers only dealt with emergencies. The streets are piling up with uncollected garbage.
Foreign investment, a life-line for the zionist state, has also dried up. Figures reveal that investors have lost $5 billion of the $6.5 billion invested in Israel between 1999-2001. No one is prepared to invest any more.
The Israeli government is so short of money that its cost cutting includes shutting down several embassies and consulates around the world!
At this critical time, the importance of the global boycott of Israel and of the collaborating companies that give it its life-line cannot be overemphasised. Israel is counting every penny - every penny matters - ensure yours don't go to Israel!

Stop Massacre in Gaza

2009-01-14T20:23:00.000+04:00

What is happening right now in Gaza is something that no human being should ever have to witness or accept. On December 27, 2008, Israel launched a series of air strikes and bombing on Gaza, killing more than 200 Palestinians within the first few hours. On January 3, 2008 the Israel Occupying Forces (IOF) started their land invasion on the Gaza strip. At the time I am writing this article, the total number of Palestinians killed by these unjust attacks has mounted to over 660, with over 2,800 wounded. On the other side, the Hamas and Palestinian fighters launched homemade short range rockets, causing the

death of 10 Israelis and injuring around 30. This means that for every Israeli killed, there have been approximately 70 Palestinians killed by the IOF. It is ridiculous and shameful that no one is forcing Israel to stop their attack. A human being is still a human being, whether they are Palestinian or Israeli. It does not make sense that there is death on both sides, with the Palestinians having a death toll that is 70 times higher death numbers than that of the Israelis. This is not a matter of math equations and numbers; we are talking about humans and their lives. Each one of the people who died had a family, a life, stories and things to accomplish...

2008-12-13T10:11:00.000+04:00

Different people have different definitions of friendship. For some, it is the trust in an individual that he / she won't hurt you. For others, it is unconditional love. There are some who feel that friendship is companionship. People form definitions based on the kind of experiences they have had. This is one relation that has been nurtured since times immemorial. There are famous stories about friends in mythologies of different religions all over the world. They say a person who has found a faithful friend has found a priceless treasure.

RAMADAN MUBARAK!!

2008-08-23T10:18:00.000+04:00

Ramadan is the holiest month for any Muslim. It was during this month that the Quran was revealed to the Final Messenger of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It was also during Ramadan that Salaah (prayer) was revealed to the Prophet.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. The Month of Ramadan is also when it is believed the Holy Quran "was sent down from heaven, guidance unto men, a declaration of direction, and a means of Salvation".

There were many late nights, long hours and buckets full of tears but in the end it all paid off. The success of last year's Ramadan television program Ramadan Kareem has led to the SABC renewing the contract to produce another season to be broadcast during the holy month of Ramadan. The format which is fun, light, entertaining yet spiritually uplifting must've hit the right note because ever since the first broadcast numerous calls, emails and letters encouraged the team on. This year not much is being changed. The program has a winning formula that engages the viewer without boring them to death. It's an extremely difficult program to produce but the team believes they are guided by Allah and this in the end is what it is all about.

" You asked me what was wrong, I smiled and said nothing, when you turned around and a tear came down and I whispered to myself... everything is "

" You hurt me more then I deserve, how can you be so cruel? I love you more then you deserve, why am I such a fool?"

" You always say you hate to see me hurt, and you hate to see me cry. So all those times that you hurt me, did you close your eyes? "

" My heart was taken by you... broken by you... and now it is in pieces because of you. "

" A million words would not bring you back, I know because I've tried, neither would a million tears, I know I've cried. "

" I don't know which is worse, being the one with the broken heart or being the person that breaks the hearts. "

" It's really painful to say goodbye to someone that you don't want to let go but its even more painful to ask someone to stay if they never wanted to stay. "

" I feel like I am sitting in a room full of people that I love, and you know what, they just don't care that I love them. They don't care whether or not I live or die. To them I'm just another girl, just another stranger. To me, they are my best friends, the only people I have left. "

" It's hard to love someone who's in love with someone else, you have to ignore the pain and swallow your pride. Just to be a friend... but that's all worth it because sometimes friendship last longer than love. "

When love ends,
A new pain begins..
An empty feeling,
A broken spirit that needs healing.
Emotions hard to control,
A tattered heart, hard to console.
Dreams so shattered,
Unspoken thoughts left scattered.
No answers to be found..
Only to the pain you are bound.

When love ends,
Misery sets in..
You're left to fight it alone.
Into a battle of heart and mind, you are thrown.
Trying to forget the one in your heart..
While you slowly fall apart.
Drifting away from a love you knew,
Is so much easier to say than to do.
Pain that leaves you feeling drained,
A lonely feeling, hard to explain.

When love ends...
A new pain begins.

For My Dear Friend...

2008-05-22T18:48:00.000+04:00

My Dear Friend,

Today I m feeling so low as you are not with me,
I miss u every moment wherever I may be.

My mind sets no where and just thinks about you,
I wanna talk a lot with you but our talks are due.

My lips are trembling and calling your name,
I cannot see you in front of me and I m going through this pain.

My tears are in trauma should they flow out or lay inside,
they want to roll down my cheeks but could not decide.

My one hand holds the other as it cannot hold yours,
It wanders for only your warm touch , I m sure.

My heart beats gets faster wishing you might be here,
giving me the feel of joy, love and care.

How much I love you is all i know, i just feel it and
I dont want to show.

I miss you with every beat of my heart,
no doubt you are the only one of whom i can think about.....

"Jo keh na sake"

jo keh na sake wo fasana yaad aata hai

guzra hua dilkash jamana yaad aata hai

jab husn se ishq takraya tha kabhi ghayal hua tha

ek parwana yaad aata hai

dil se mohabbat ke tufaan uthe the jab

aankhon ka sapne sajana yaad aata hai

kasturi jaise din mehakte the mere raaton ka

gungunana yaad aata hai

aankhon ka mil kar jhuk jana nahin

bhula hothon ka thar_tharana yaad aata hai

mera usko kankhiyon se dekhna baar baar

aur uska wo muskurana yaad aata hai

raaton ko tanha yaad mein kisiki...

dhuan udata ek deewana yaad aata hai.....
