Offer your prayers at stated Fixed times.
Hadeeth:
When `Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked "which deed is the dearest to Allah?" the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times"
(Sahih Bukhari, Book #10, Hadith #505).

Pop islam versus the Real Struggle
Pop Islam versus the Real Struggle
by Maliha Balala
by Maliha Balala
Cute hijabs, matching tight pants,
perfectly manicured hands
drumming restlessly to the beat of the latest Nasheed pop.
Nice rides, sipping caf? lattes,
halaqas embraced in the depths of cozy rooms,
speaking of distant dreams and privileged existences.
Do we know the real struggle?
Club ISNA, throngs of fans milling air-conditioned convention halls,
pop star speakers glimmer in the spotlight,
beckoning distant hearts to spirituality and deeper lives;
chastising in that, oh so mesmerizing voice,
as the crowd yells a deep bass,
takbir followed by shrills of, Allahu Akbar!
Do we really comprehend the Greatness of our Creator?
Trekking the globe in search of meaning,
disenchanted existences within treasure-filled homes,
dreams of substance blocked by trivial minds;
apathy radiates in different colors;
squeezing potential out of our beings
like deep soaked sponges inflated by muddy waters;
Can meaning seep into a suffocated heart?
Following zigzag paths of nothingness;
in search of, Deen or the other half of my Deen,whatever comes first.
So we step in style, mouthfuls of Subhana'Allah;
gleeful, Masha'Allah;
echoing from empty hearts frenzied by empty lives.
Scratching the surface of submission;
echoing lines from distant lives;
dreams of greatness shelved away;
as we pander our Proud to Be Muslim shirts;
cheap prices for cheaper wares.
Pardon my jaded writing;
perhaps I forgot
the subtle depths of this struggle,
as I begin to still
the meaningless symbols clanging in my heart.
Please remind me:
Do rays of the Divineever illuminate these darkened corners ?

Teen age trap part 1
salamzz
well its a very very long topic if any one writes about it,that is why i have written "part ****************************************
"OH Hanna why do suffocate ur self with these LOSE abaya….and this black niqab??!!"
"Oh Mariya!! please those gloves!! man! it luks like u have got burns on ur hands!"
"MAN! Y are u luk too old wid a beard lyke dis!!"
"Wat happened to ur pants…..Yikes!!"
and
"Hey girl! u have got such a lovely face ,why do u hide it??"
are
the common remarks on muslim teenagers BY ignorant muslims and nonmuslims. YES not only in nonmuslim countries but even in muslim countries.WEll lets say good and bad people exist everywhere but Y do they have to exist to TORTURE and TORNMENT only Muslim teens??
"Oh well! its cuz….its cuz..muslim teens are extremists?"
"ahem can u elaborate the point?"
"well yeah…Y do they have to act and behave differently…Why are they so UNCOOL…Why not act like normal people..they are doing wateva they are but its all in extremes"
Okz that was also a common conversation but most of the time kids cant defend themselves.They dont have answer for certain questions for which they search and indeed many of them are also successful.Now the problem is Media. Ummm…YES! MEDIA!..The whole world..Our TVz, Radios, computers..everything.For The media the Idea of being KOOL is different from what it is for a Muslim teenager.They PLAN and SHOW that a KOOL teenager,if a boy, is a PUNK. Spikes on the top of head with loads and loads of Gel, tatoos all around the body, Loose pants which might fall any moment,big sneaks with an mp3 in ears….And if gurl, she has to wear the most indecent clothes she can ever get to attaract attention.BUT these KOOL ideas are NoT for MUSLIM teenagers, still these are the one’s who are being called NORMAL!It is media and Our external environment which has made a MUSLIM TEEN AGE TRAP! And By external environment i dont neccesirly mean Non muslims ,it can be Ignorant Muslims.
But Now the real solution of this problem is to find ways of getting rid of teenage trap.
How!!! thats wat we have to think.
….Building muslim communities!
….Teaching islamic ways to the kids!
….Inducing the love of Allah and their religion in the kids mind and appreciating them for following their religion rather than discouraging them for going against Non muslims "normal" world!
….Spending your money on your kids both worldly and Islamic education. remeber education is the most important thing!
…..having strong personality.Confidence that yes u are right!
…topic to be discussed in comments…….follow plzz!
Take care see ya!

Morals of islam
"When two persons are together, two of them must no whisper to each other, without letting the third hear; because it would hurt him."
(Bukhari & Muslim)
"Strive always to excel in virtue and truth." (Bukhari)
Be not like the hypocrite who, when he talks, tells lies; when he gives a promise, he breaks it; and when he is trusted, he proves dishonest." (Bukhari & Muslim)
"Keep yourselves far from envy; because it eats up and takes away good actions, like a fire eats up and burns wood." (Abu Daud)
"Whoever is kind, Allah will be kind to him; therefore be kind to man on the earth. He Who is in heaven will show mercy on you."(Abu Daud: Tirmidhi)
