Ghazali On Women In Islam Subject: For All Muslims and brothers who`s still lost!!!

PLEASE MUSLIMS:

SEND THIS TO OTHER MUSLIMS!

ASSALAMU-ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATAHU.

Dear Muslims:

This is a letter from Saudi Arabia. It is addressed to all Muslims. It is the words of Sheikh Ahmed, the watchman of the Prophet Muhammed`s Mosque (PBUH). On Friday night after reciting the Holy Quran, he slept and dreamed and saw the Holy Prophet(PBUH). The Prophet said to him, ``Sheikh Ahmed, this Friday about six thousand (6,000) people died, but none went to heaven; The women do not follow what their husbands tell them anymore. The believers who have money do not help the poor people. People do not perform their pilgrimage as was prescribed. The Muslims do not say their prayers regularly, let alone how it is supposed to be.`` Sheikh Ahmed tells the Muslims that this letter comes for you. They are to produce more copies of this letter and give them to other Muslims, so that

it can spread and get to other Muslims in this world. Anyone who produces copies of this and spreads out to other Muslims, will see the REWARD indeed. Such a person will be counted as those suitable for Paradise, INSHALLAH. The Muslim who receives this letter and refuses to disperse it among Other Muslims will not see benediction. I, Sheikh Ahmed, if what I said Is a lie, May Allah not send His Divine Benediction to me. Dear Muslims, you must follow the religion the way the Prophet honoured it, like the divine revelation it is. Ask for forgiveness. Produce twenty (20) copies of this letter, and distribute it to all Muslims. Anyone who does this, so that all Muslims get a copy, will INSHA ALLAH see the opening of the Prophet`s desires and success will follow. He will see the things he had never seen before.

This is not a letter to be kept. It must be dispersed in large quantities. A man called Klavan got this letter, and gave it to his secretary, to produce twenty (20) copies and disperse them. After some days, he saw many doors of opportunities opening up for him. Another, named Abdul-Salam, got it and forgot it in the drawer of His office, and, after a certain time, he lost his job. He later remembered the letter, and went and produced twenty (20) copies, which were distributed, and within five (5) days, he got employed and is in a higher position than what he had before.

Another man, called Balemanthan, received it, and he thought it Was something useless, and treated it without respect or courtesy. He tore the letter and within nine (9) days he died. I am appealing to anyone who comes across this letter to kindly circulate it in a large volume.

Thank You. ASSALAMU-ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAHI WA

BARAKATAHU.

Headache and Heartburn Sadna, RSaxena, Jay or any Educated Hindu,

I am genuinely interested to know whether this point, `you cannot convert to Hinduism` is true.` Why is this so and if it`s true, isn`t it a form of fascism? Does this then imply that Non Hindus do not undergo the re-incarnating process that Hindus undergo. Does that then mean that Bad Hindus can enjoy their life, be cruel to others and then convert to another religion because the Hindu Gods and Hindu rules only apply to Hindus. Does it also mean that. That way they shall not reincarnate into an Untouchable. Also The numbers of Hindus have grown over the centuries. Where have those extra sould come from if everything is recycled.

I`d appreciate your replies as I`m genuinely interested.

When Pinky Broke My Heart Urstruly,

This story (true/fiction) generated quiet a few sad emotions within me. Fantastic work. Simple language yet powerfull emotions. On another note, how is it that the Chowk staff can leave omarphoenix`s article on prostituion as it is (no offence Omar, I can understand that it was needed)and yet edit out urstruly`s ending. Is there a new chowk staff member onboard? And by the way, what was the ending?

DOST of the Hopeless The ball to progress begins with looking after your own and I guess the ball to progress is beggining to roll. Keep up the good work.

Yet Another South Asian Story Sad story indeed. I think I won`t exercise today. For some reason I don`t feel very energetic now.

Anything But Vacant Fantastic!!! Do I see an Anti-Rushdie in disguise? I had thought from your other article that U were a Pakistani. Why India?

Once again, absolutely brilliant writing. I don`t know where to start from, there are so many good bits there, bits that I`m sure will be quoted in future books.

Education Reforms: Yet Another Sham Shiraz buddy,

When I read your posts, I get this real sense of pain. It’s as if you have this hidden secret or that someone did something to you and you just can’t get this thing out directly. But please understand this, I am a Muslim too and yes, I love God more than humans too and I love the Prophet more than most people too but it does not mean that I don’t wish well for everyone or that I don’t do charity work (not madrassahs but in Nat. Cancer appeal)and yes, it`s the fear of God that pushes me farward. When you label Islam under the Jihadis and then call my religion narrow minded, violent etc, it hurts. That’s the only thing I can say. So please think twice about what you write before you actually post it.

Ganapathy and The Drillmaster Sweet. Don`t listen to those two testicles, Jay and RSuxena.

Bigotry, Racism and American Media Amit,

Sorry mate, got a bit carried away. It`s just that maybe I was thinking too much between the lines.

Bigotry, Racism and American Media Amit,

Do shut up you popodom,

``In fact, the PLO charter calls for a secular, democratic country in Palestine and not a islamic state.``

I love it the way this bhelpuri has quite lovingly referred to Islamic rule as not tolerant of other religions.

``They have a completely hopeless existence``

Another one of the Indian Papari farts,

``unlike many of our ancestors who converted to Islam to get a good life.``

You`re damn right. Why would I want to clean some stuck up ass`s sh *t because of my karma. People are given equality in Islam.

``Otherwise, India is quite content on leaving the Kashmiris alone with their own land and resources, as long as they remain nominally Indian.``

And because they`re not, you rape and pillage and shaft them beyond belief.

Go home to swami Guru Ji and lick his balls or something with yoghurt and custard. Damn, here I am preaching love and peace to everyone and people like him come about and smash my beliefs.

Aap Amrika Main Hotay Hain?? (Do You Live In America) Fairdinkdum,

Would you please stop bloody writing everything in Urdu. It is infuriating, slow and you can`t spell anything properly. Don`t get me wrong, I love Urdu, it`s a gorgeous language but it`s getting on my nerves.

Aap Amrika Main Hotay Hain?? (Do You Live In America) Omar Phenix, post 1&4,

WEll said. We don`t have the right to tell anyone how to go about making their legitimate livlihood.

The Burden of Virginity Zara Hussain #66,

Care to elaborate? ;-)

Streets What is this? A paragraph stretched to a poem. Needs more work in my opinion
