Bill Clinton on Muslims:

Federal Aviation Agency
800 Independence Avenue S.W.
Washington D.C. 20591

Dear Sirs:

I have the solution for the prevention of hijackings, and at the same time getting our airline industry back on its feet.

Since men of the Muslim religion are not allowed to look at naked women we should replace all of our female flight attendants with strippers who have huge juggs, camel toe pussies, long legs, and tight asses.

Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing a naked woman, and of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again in hope of seeing a naked woman.

We would have no more hijackings, and the airline industry would have record sales.

Now why didn't Congress think of this?

Sincerely,

William (Bill) Jefferson Clinton
P.S. – Don’t tell Hillary about this letter

Most sinners know they are committing wrong, their heart will be telling them they are doing wrong, but they follow their desires. Ask Allah to move you away from sins and towards ibadah. Cut the source of the sin e.g. if your sin is backbiting when with a group of friends, stop being around those friends.Feeling pleasure in the company of people is spiritual bankruptcy. Ultimate pleasure should be on your own with Allah,
prayer, doing dhikr. If you don't feel this you need to change.

Sitting with your wife and kids is like staying up night praying tahajjud.

Effects/Results of Sin

Outward
• Giving preference to other than the Allah, obeying desires.
• Taking off dress of haya, embarrassment, feeling ashamed.
• Rushing to Allah with something He (sw) doesn't like.
• Effects on the limbs, impurity, laziness, not protecting sanctuaries.
• Wronging people will be made easy to do.
• Breaking promises, breaking friendship.
• Follow desires of the body, joy of ta'a/ibadah disappears.

Inward
• Impact on the heart, harshness of the heart plus other diseases of the heart (spiritual)
• Stubbornness of the self, tightness of chest (knowledge/guidance restricted)
• Lacking sweetness of ibadah/ta'a
• Prevents the noor entering the heart. Sinning opens the door or battlefield to the demonic realm. Goodness in the heart replaced by darkness.
• You will be under the authority of desire/nafs/shaytan not shari'a.
• Susceptible to doubt (about Allah)
• Forgetting the return to Him (sw) and the Reckoning.
• If sins have no result other than your description changing from an obedient slave to a sinner, that is enough reason to prevent yourself from sinning.
• Instead of sweetness of ta'a you have sweetness of sin. The pleasure of ta'a is long lasting, eternal even and the pleasure from sin last seconds or minutes is finite.

A sincere tawba is a gift from Allah.
A good du'a: "Oh Allah I ask of you to grant me the following of the Prophet (saw) in his words and actions".
A sinning dead heart is like a dead body feeling a prick, sins don't trouble this person. Whereas a "live" person feels impact immediately.

Beware of your nafs, nafs veils you from Allah. Your nafs brings wood to your sides, and shaytan ignites and burns it. Your nafs doesn't leave you when you die, shaytan does. e.g. Shaytan leaves in Ramadan, crime still happens in Ramadan because the nafs commands them to crime.Dunya is green and beautiful to the nafs because your body is made of soil, it longs for earth. Your soul is made of light it longs
for spirituality. Don't let the sweetness of it delude you, its sweetness in the end is bitter.

The miraculous nature of the Arabic language

Dhahhab - gold : dhahaba - gone
Ffidda - silver : yufaddu - scatter
dinar - currency : naar - hell
dirham - currency : ham - worry
darr - house : daar - circulating (your house will go to someone else)

If you have not heard this one before…

God asked Zia, how many children he had during his time on earth. He replied saying he had two! Happy with the relatively good family planning adopted, God gave him a Mercedes! Ershad was asked the same question. When he replied he had 1-5 children, (he was unsure how many he had but remained truthful) God was a bit upset and gave him a cheaper car, a Ford. Sometime later Zia and Ershad saw Bongobandhu returning on foot. They asked why God hadn't given him anything, at least a Rickshaw. Bongobandhu replied with anger, "some idiot told God that I am the Father of the Nation!"

We lose our health to make money...
and then lose our money to restore their health.

By thinking anxiously about the future, we forget the present,

such that we live in neither the present nor the future.

A rich person is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.

Which Sheikh do you follow?

A man was was walking across a bridge one day, and he saw another man standing on the edge, about to jump off and commit suicide. I immediately ran over and said "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. The man said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" "Like what?" "Well ... are you religious or atheist?" "Religious." "Me too! Are you Muslim, Christian or Jewish?" "Muslim." "Me too! Sunni or Shiite?" "Sunni." "Me too! Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi or Maliki?" "Hanafi." "Wow! Me too! Do you follow Sheikh Fulaan al Fullani or Sheikh Kaza Kazah?" "Sheikh Fulaan al Fullani." To which he said, "What?!! Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.

The devil pays

An elderly lady was well-known for her Iman and for her confidence in talking about it. She would stand in front of her house and say Alhamdulilah "Allah be praised" to all those who passed by. Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her proclamations he would shout, "There ain't no Lord!!" Hard times came upon the elderly lady, and she prayed for Allah to send her some assistance. She would pray out loud in her night prayer" Oh Allah! I need food!! I am having a hard time, please Lord, PLEASE LORD, SEND ME SOME GROCERIES!!" The atheist happened to hear her as she was praying, and decided to play a prank on her. The next morning the lady went out on her porch and noted a large bag of groceries and shouted, "Alhamdulilah, Allah be praised!." The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said, "Aha! I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries, God didn't." The lady started jumping up and down and clapping her hands and said, "ALHAMDULILAH WA SHUKRILLAH”. He not only sent me groceries, but he made the devil pay for them!"

Relating Hadith... or not!

Someone said to Ashab, "If you were to relate ahadith (traditions) and stop telling jokes, you would be doing a noble thing." "By God!" answered Ashab, "I have heard traditions and related them." "Then tell us", said the man. "I heard from Nafai," said Ashab, "on the authority of such-and-such, that the Prophet, may God bless him, said, "There are two qualities, such that whoever has them is among God's elect." "That is a fine tradition", said the man. "What are these two qualities?" "Nafai forgot one and I forgot the other," replied Ashab.

"Who's he going to tell?"

An Imam was feeling bored one Friday and decided to take the day off away from the Masjid. He told the assistant Imam he wasn't feeling well and drove off. He stopped at a golf course about forty miles away (so that no one would know him.)

Up in Heaven, the angels were talking. One said to another, "He can just get away with that! This is wrong - Jummah is mandatory for him and he is an example for so many believers!" The other angel agreed but decided to wait to see how Allah would take care of him.

The Imam teed off on the first hole and suddenly, the wind picked up, blowing the ball right in the hole for a 420 yard hole-in-one.

The angels looked at each other in great surprise. One said, "Why did He do that??" The other realized the wisdom behind it and smiled...

"Who's he going to tell?"

Good news and bad news

Here is the story of an Imam who got after Friday prayers and announced to the people:

"I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets."

[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 8, Book 75, Number 417]

Narrated 'Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu) : Allah's Messenger (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said, "Allah has some angels who look for those who remember (glorify the praises of) Allah on the roads and paths. And when they find some people remembering (glorifying the Praise) of Allah, they call each other, saying, 'Come to object of your pursuit.'"

He (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) added, "Then the angels encircle them with their wings up to the nearest heaven to us (sky of the world)." (He added) "After those people remembered Allah and the angels go back, their Lord asks them--though He knows better then them-- 'What do My slaves say?' The angels reply, 'They say: Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, Alhamdu-lillah,' and they glorify you, Allah then says, 'Did they see Me?' The angels reply, 'No! By Allah, they didn't see You.' Allah says, 'How it would have been if they saw Me?' The angels reply, 'If they saw You, they would worship You more devoutly and remember You more deeply, and declare Your freedom from any resemblance to anything more often.'

Allah says "What they ask for? ' The angels reply 'They ask for Paradise.' Allah says (to the angels), 'Did they see it?' The angels reply, 'No ! by the Allah O Lord! they didn't see it.' Allah says: 'How it would have been if they saw it?' the angel says, 'If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek it with greater seal and would they have greater desire for it.'

Allah says, 'From what do they seek refuge?' The angels reply, 'The seek refuge Hell (fire)', Allah says, 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No by Allah, O Lord! they did not see it.' Allah says how it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it they would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from it.' Then Allah says, 'If make you witnessed that I have forgiven them', Allah's Messenger (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) added, "One of the angel would say, "There was so and so amongst them, and he was not one of them but he has just come from some need. Allah would say, There are those people whose companions will not be reduced to misery."

CIA OPERATIVES IN BANGLADESH


The CIA operatives working in Pakistan and later independent Bangladesh were mainly responsible for plotting the killings of the liberal, secular intellectuals and professionals and the massacre of thousands of people during the liberation war. A majority of them worked under the cover of diplomats in the US embassies in Pakistan and then later Bangladesh. The most notorious amongst them were HAIGHT HUGH GREENOUGH and EILTS HERMANN FREDERICK who backed the civil affairs dept (a cover of ISI, the Pakistan Military intelligence) of Pakistan and did the blueprint for the elimination of secular Bengali intellectuals and professionals. Research done in this field shows that HAIGHT HUGH GREENOUGH worked as a mentor of notorious ISI head Rao Farman Ali and together, in association with the leaders of Muslim League and Jamat-e-Islam, they made a list of top five thousand Bengali intellectuals and professionals. During the liberation war of 1971 the list was handed over to the Jamati death squad (al-Badr) headed by Motiur Rahman Nizami and Nizami's goons killed the leading intellectuals of Bangladesh. In 1971 after the fall of Pakistan Haight fled to Thailand.

Philip CHERRY was the most notorious CIA operative in independent Bangladesh and believed to be the key person who plotted the assassination of Sheikh Mujib and his top associates in 1975 military coup.

QUOTABLE QUOTES

The word Ash-shams, the sun, is feminine; and Qamar, the moon, is masculine. The sun burns itself to give life and light to everything, and the moon is muneer, it reflects the light. Within itself, it has no light; it radiates the brilliance of the sun. So when we shine as men, we are reflecting the glorious light of our women. (Sheikh Abdullah Adhami)

"Knowledge without work is insanity and work without knowledge is vanity and cannot be." (Imam Ghazali)

Hard work never killed anybody"
But why take the risk!(I don't want to be an exception!)

"Work fascinates me "
I can look at it for hours!

Thank God we can choose our friends.

If the Naqshbandiyah Order of mystics seeks its authority from the Prophet through Abu Bakr, the Qadiriyah and the Suhrawardiyah orders for instance, do the same through 'Ali, and all this among the Sunnis to whom Abu Bakr alone was the immediate successor of the Prophet in the political field.

Wednesday, August 10, 2005

"The two great sects among Muslims, the Sunnites and the Shi'ites date back to the Umayyads. "The difference between these two sects is based on a political question, whether the succession to the Prophet should take place by election or by inheritance among the close relatives of the Prophet? This became a question of dogma to the Shi'ites, and the schism split into ramifications of its own and occasioned civil wars. It is one such uprising which swept away the Umayyad dynasty, and made it yield its place in 750 [A.D.] to the Abasids, but the Shi'ites did not profit by the change. In our days there are probably ten percent Shi'ites among the Muslims of the world, the rest being almost all Sunnites, not to speak of the infinitesimally small sect of the Kharijites, which also came into existence at the same time."
Shi'ahs acknowledge five collections of their own namely: (1) Al-Kafi (2) Manlayastahzirahu 'l-Faqih (3) Tahzib (4) Istibsar (5) Nahju 'l-Balaghah.

Muslim Jokes

How many Palestinians does it take to change a light bulb. None! They sit in the dark forever and blame the Jews for it!

A Palestinian suspect was being grilled by Israeli police. "Honest, I'm not a suicide bomber," he said. "I didn't say I wanted to blow myself up so I could sleep with 72 virgins. All I said was I'm dying to get laid!"

A Palestinian girl says to her mommy, "After Abdul blows up, can I have his room?"

On my flight to New York there must have been a Jew in the bathroom
the entire time. There was a sign on the door that said "occupied."

Did you hear about the Muslim strip club? It features full facial nudity!

Why do Palestinians find it convenient to live on the West Bank?
Because just a stone's throw from Israel!

Why are Palestinian boys luckier than American boys? Because every
Palestinian boy will get to join a rock group!

What does the sign say above the nursery in a Palestinian maternity
ward? "Live ammunition."

Walnuts and Pumkins

One hot day, Nasruddin was taking it easy in the shade of a walnut tree. After a time, he started eying speculatively, the huge pumpkins growing on vines and the small walnuts growing on a majestic tree. Sometimes I just can't understand the ways of God! he mused. Imagine letting tiny walnuts grow on so majestic a tree and huge pumpkins on the delicate vines! Just then a walnut snapped off and fell smack on Mullah Nasruddin's bald head. He got up at once and lifting up his hands and face to heavens in supplication, said: Oh, Allah! Forgive my questioning your ways! You are All-Wise. Where would I have been now, if pumpkins grew on trees!

Despair

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ

Doing good

"Do not be people without minds of your own,
saying that if others treat you well you will treat them well, and that if they do wrong you will do wrong. Rather, accustom yourselves to do good if people do good, and not to do wrong if they do evil."
- The Prophet Muhammad (reported by Tirmidhi)

Khuzeimah Ibn Thaabet Al-Ansaary

Nineteen years after the Prophet Muhammad's death, during the reign of Khalifa `Uthman, a committee of scribes was appointed to make several copies of the Quran to be dispatched to the new Muslim lands. . . . “This committee was supervised by `Uthman Ibn `Affaan, `Ali Ibn Abi Taaleb, Zeid Ibn Thaabet, Ubayy Ibn Ka`ab, `Abdullah Ibn Al-Zubair, Sa`eed Ibn Al-`Aas, and `Abdul Rahman Ibn Al-Haareth Ibn Heshaam. . .
Every single verse in the Quran was verified by a multiplicity of witnesses "except Verses 128 and 129 of Sura 9; they were found only with Khuzeimah Ibn Thaabet Al-Ansaary." When some people questioned this improper exception, someone came up with a Hadith stating that "the testimony of Khuzeimah equals the testimony of two men!!!"

Khuzeimah died with 'Uways Al-Qarni in the Battle of Siffin fighting for Ali (RA) against Mu'âwiyah in 36 AH.

683 Kaaba burnt to the ground


In September 683, Yazid's army besieged Mecca under Ibn al-Zubayr. Rocks from catapults fell into the sacred Kaaba. To the horror of believers the Kaaba caught fire, burned to the ground, and the sacred Black Stone split and fell from its socket. In November the leader of Yazid's army learned that Yazid had died. The leader of the Syrian forces offered Zubayr his allegiance as caliph if he would promise to take no vengeance regarding previous warfare and if he would rule from Damascus. Ibn al-Zubayr refused the latter condition. The Syrians then lifted their siege and returned to Syria, where conflict erupted over succession.

Finally, Marwan, took power for the Umayyads. A great battle was fought in 684 at Marj Rahit, a little to the east of Damascus, the Syrian army winning and allowing Marwan to hold on to power in Syria. Marwan extended his rule through Palestine to Egypt, persuading Arab tribesmen in Egypt to change their support from Zubayr to himself. Then on May 7, 685, after nine months as caliph, Marwan died of plague, which had been ravaging Syria and Mesopotamia.

Marwan was succeeded by his son, ABD AL-MALIK B. MARWAN (646-705). The civil war raged for twelve years, until 692, when the Syrian army under AL-HAJJAJ B. YUSUF (d.714)killed Ibn al-Zubayr and overran Mecca. AL-HAJJAJ is credited with introducing vowel marks to the Qur'anic text.
