Friendship And Love Between A Man And A Woman: First And Second Points
Islamic Questions & Answers
I know keeping girlfriend will destroy the family and so on but what if we were just friends secretly were no one knew. this way we will we will stay together until marriage and we can garentee we wont perform any zinna. are there any cases in the old times of love .
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
Taking a girlfriend does not only destroy the family, it destroys society, and those who do this are threatened with the punishment and wrath of Allah. Love is a sickness that destroys the heart and leads to evil and immorality. The Shaytaan will keep tempting them and pushing them until they commit immoral actions and thus each gets what he or she wants from the other.

He Cannot Be Patient When His Wife Has Her Period: Sex By Phone, Use Of The Hand i.e. Masturbation
Islamic Questions & Answers
His wife has a long period of menstruation up to seven days before she does ghusl. But he feels this time is too long to wait as his sexual appetite is so high. What must he do or what must she do to solve the problem?
Praise be to Allaah.
We have already explained in question no. 36722 that a man may be intimate with his wife in all ways apart from intercourse, because when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about intimacy with a menstruating woman, he said, "Do everything except intercourse." (Narrated by Muslim, 302)
The husband also has another permissible means of fulfilling his desire, which is mas-turbation by his wife's hand. The evidence for that is the general meaning of the verse (in-terpretation of the meaning): "And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts from illegal sexual acts).

Islamic Rulings - Living Shariah Verdicts
Islamic Questions & Answers
Praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds, and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his family and companions.
Allaah has chosen for us Islam as our religion and He will not accept any other religion from anyone, as He says:
“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.” [Aali ‘Imraan 3:85]
And the Prophet (s.a.w) told us that groups of his ummah would follow the enemies of Allaah in some of their rituals and customs, as it says in the hadeeth of Abu Sa‘eed al-Khudri (r.a), who nar-rated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said:
“You will certainly follow the ways of those who came before you, span by span, cubit by cubit, until even if they were to enter a lizard’s hole, you would follow them.” We said, “O Messenger of Allaah, (do you mean) the Jews and Christians?” He said, “Who else!?”(Narrated by al-Bukhaari in al-I’tisaam bi’l-Kitaab wa’l-Sunnah, Baab Qawl al-Nabi (s.a.w) La tattabi‘unna Sanan man kaana qablakum, 8/151; and by Muslim in Kitaab al-‘Ilm, Baab Ittibaa’ Sanan al-Yahood wa’l-Nasaara, 4/2054)

How To Be Successful In Life: In The Light Of The Quran And Sunnah
Islamic Questions & Answers
Question:
How to obtain success and prosperity in this world and hereafter? What kind of success or prosperity that Islam wants the Ummah Islam gain in this world?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah.
Peace of mind, contentment, happiness and freedom from worries and anxiety… these are what everyone wants, and these are the ways in which people can have a good life and find complete happiness and joy. There are religious means of achieving that, and natural and practical means, but no one can combine all of them except the believers; although other people may achieve some of them, they will miss out on others.

About The Baseless Rumor Of Illness Of The Taliban Chief Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Quoting the American State Department and a CIA-run private intelligence network, The Eclipse Group, an American daily, The Washington Post has published an unsubstantiated and baseless report, claiming that the esteemed Amir-ul-Momineen, Mullah Omar Mujahid had a heart attack and was treated in a hospital in Karachi. The afore-said intelligence network says, the source of its information is a physician who saw Amir-ul-Momineen after the operation. But the report does not mention the name of the physician. According to the network, the physician says that he was not present in the operation theatre but heard from other physicians that Mullah Omar was suffering from cardiac complications. Some Afghan and international media outlets circulated the rumors without first verifying and substantiating it.

Prophet Muhammad - 7: A Model Husband - The Best Marriage To Emulate
Arab News & Information - By Adil Salahi
When Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent to deliver his message as God’s last messenger to mankind, all human societies ill-treated women. Arabia was no exception. Prior to Islam Arabian women had no rights, not even the right to live. Often parents killed their young daughters, burying them alive, for fear of poverty or shame. Under the Roman and Byzantine Empires, women were practically enslaved, even by the rule of law. The Persian Empire considered women to be the source of evil. Today, the Western civilization boasts of its achievement of equality between men and women. Yet, this was achieved after hard struggle. Until World War One, women did not have the right to vote in general elections in Britain or elsewhere in Europe. The suffragette movement had to fight hard for that right to be granted. By contrast, Islam, as preached by Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago, gave women a status equal to that of men. The Qur’an clearly states: “Women shall, in all fairness, enjoy rights similar to those exercised against them.” (2: 228)

A Majestic Scene: Fate Of The God-fearing Who Are Destined For Heaven
Arab News & Information - By Adil Salahi
We now have a scene of the Day of Judgment that begins with the first blowing of the trumpet and ends when the judgment is passed and people are being led to their respective places, either heaven or hell. God Almighty stands in His greatness while the entire universe repeats His glorification and praise. It is a unique scene which is, as it starts, full of life and movement, but one which then slows down until every movement ceases and all stand still. Thus, complete stillness covers the place where all are brought for judgment, standing humbly before God Almighty.
The first blow on the trumpet is made, and all creatures who until that moment remained alive on earth and in the heavens fall senseless, except those God spares. We do not know how much time elapses before the second blow is sounded on the trumpet: “The trumpet will be sounded, and all creatures that are in the heavens and the earth will fall down senseless, except those God wills to be spared.

How Will The War End? The Basis Of The Weakness Of America And Obama Exit Running Plan
In the name of Allah the Only One, the Ultimate.
And peace and blessings of Allah on the smiling slayer.
How will the war end?
The German forces raided western Europe in the second world war, with the flashing war of Hitler until it reached the French beaches and there was nothing left between the forces of Fermecht and the SS except to discover an inspiring technique to cross the channel and reach the English beaches and raid the great English empire, in its very capital. And at this time, the Prime minister of Britain, Winston Churchill was lighting cigar after cigar trying to find the answer to this difficult question- What is it that Hitler needs at this time in order to raid the English islands?
After heated discussions with his military advisors and from his understanding of the German way of thinking Churchill reached the strategic conclusion that the German will not be able to land on the English coast except after destroying the British air force completely because it would be the only danger that would threaten their special dispatched forces, and that’s why the British war ministry decided to put all the funds of the states, within and from its colonies, in order to strengthen the royal air forces and considering it the last and critical line of defense before the fall of the great British empire.

A Chance That Must Not Be Missed: Qur’an Now At Your Fingertip
Arab News & Information - By Adil Salahi
In the verse that precedes this passage, the surah emphasizes that God forgives all sins. Therefore, people should make haste and repent of their sins so that they could earn His forgiveness. It calls on them to heed its call: come on all of you, then! Come on “before the suffering comes upon you, for then you cannot be helped.”
Should the chance be missed, there can be no help. The chance is open now, but its duration cannot be guaranteed. In fact, it can terminate at any moment of the night and day. Therefore, come on and “Follow the best that has been revealed to you by your Lord,” which is this Qur’an that you now have at your fingertips, “before the suffering comes upon you of a sudden, without your being aware of it.”

Prophet Muhammad - 6: Taking Care Of The Weak - Nature Of The Kind
Arab News & Information - By Adil Salahi
By Long before he started to receive his revelations, Muhammad (peace be upon him) was known for his noble characteristics. One of the most important of these was that he always cared for the weaker elements in society. In Arabia, where a tribal society flourished, the most vulnerable sections of the society were slaves and women. Muhammad looked after both, extending to them exemplary treatment. Perhaps the best example to illustrate this is the way he treated Zayd ibn Harithah, a young lad who was taken captive in a raid mounted by a tribe hostile to his tribe.
According to the universal custom at the time, captives became slaves. Zayd was sold as a slave by his captors. He was then re-sold and brought to Makkah by an uncle of Khadijah, the Prophet’s first wife. On arrival in Makkah her uncle showed her the slaves he brought with him and told her to choose one as a gift. She took Zayd and gave him to her husband.

What The Qur'an Teaches: Angels Praying For Mankind: Sole Ownership Of The Universe
Arab News & Information - By Adil Salahi
In the name of God, the Lord of Grace, the Ever Merciful
Ha. Mim. Ayn Sin. Qaf. Thus has God, the Almighty, the Wise, sent revelation to you, Prophet, and to those who preceded you. His is all that is in the heavens and the earth. He is the Most High, the Supreme One. The heavens are well-nigh rent asunder from above as the angels extol their Lord’s limitless glory and praise, and beg forgiveness for all who are on earth. Surely God is Much-Forgiving, Ever Merciful. As for those who take for their protectors beings other than Him, God watches them, and you are not responsible for them. (Consultation, Al-Shoora: 42: 1-6)

Dyeing The Hair Black If There Is No Intention To Cheat Or Deceive
Islamic Questions & Answers
Is it permissible to dye the hair black if it was originally black? My hair is black but then its colour changed to red, and now I want to dye it black.
Praise be to Allaah.
It was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that dying the hair black is not allowed. That is mentioned in the hadeeth of Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that Abu Quhaafah, the father of Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq, was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to give his oath of allegiance, and his hair was completely white. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Change this, but avoid black.” Narrated by Muslim.

Blind Spot: What We Choose Not To See Is The Thing About To Destroy Us: Jewish Control Of Our Thoughts
Despite clear proof that Jewish influence destroyed from within the great civilizations of Egypt, Greece, Rome, France, Russia and Germany, citizens of the United States remain essentially blind to this same catastrophic threat that has prostituted their own government and is about to eviscerate their own country.
Now totally controlled by rich international Jews, the world perpetually teeters on the brink of war while governments poison their own people, trying to pay off shrewd debts that never really end to their Talmudic overlords on Wall Street and in the City of London.

It is generally assumed that states, like individuals, benefit from their mistakes, and evaluate their experiences, especially when dealing with particular issues. However, this is not the case with the Syrian position, in terms of dealing with Lebanon, specifically the International Tribunal, and nominations for the next Prime Minister.
Regarding the parliamentary ruling [in 2004] to extend former Lebanese President Emile Lahoud’s term in office, Damascus insisted on him staying in power at any price, knowing that it would then be easier to bring in another pro-Syrian President afterwards.

What Is The Meaning Of ‘Land’ For The Islamic Ummah?
We have just witnessed a sad event for the Islamic ummah, namely the Southern Sudanese Referendum which was concluded on 9th January 2011. It is very likely that South Sudan would choose to split from Sudan. This means that the Islamic ummah is again losing their land, after a number of countries are being occupied by the kafir forces. Whereas, a land or territory has an important meaning for the Islamic ummah. How important is the land for the Islamic ummah? It is this which will be discussed in this article.
Today is the fifth day since the Southern Sudanese Referendum was concluded. The referendum itself is a recommendation from the Comprehensive Peace Agreement which was concocted in 2005 in order to end the North-South Sudan conflict which had been going on for some decades.

By Tariq Alhomayed Leadership Is Sacrifice: Ought To Be Reminded Of The Piece Of History?
I have often heard men say that the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, had a lot of respect and appreciation for the late Kamal Jumblatt. The King believes that Jumblatt held a stance which ultimately cost him his life, but he never compromised his position.
I recalled this after a recent press conference, in which Walid Jumblatt, the son of the late Lebanese leader, declared that he had changed his allegiances [regarding the nomination of the next Prime Minster], and joined forces with Syria and Hezbollah.

The Afghan Women And The American Literacy Program
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.
Trent Hickman, a senior American Marines commander in Afghanistan, has said that they want to launch a program which is hoped to easily inculcate the notion of progress and development into the minds of the Afghan women and familiarize them with the American initiatives and values. He said, to achieve this goal, they would use some media outlets, particularly, the New World which will broadcast the program for 30 minutes every day. Every Afghan woman with a pen and a notebook will learn Pashto alphabets while staying at home. Thus, they will become literate.
Talking at an American military base in the centre of Helmand province, the American commander expressed his concern over the lack of measures in the past decade to improve condition of the Afghan women and to raise their literacy level.

The Palestine Papers: Offering Palestine, Selling Out Its Refugees
The Palestine Papers had damaged whatever little credibility the Ramallah-based authority still enjoyed among Palestinians The Palestine Papers, the 1,300 leaked documents that Aljazeera began publishing starting January 23, are the Palestinian response to the Israeli ‘generous offer’, an Israeli diplomatic ruse that was aimed at discrediting Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat following the collapse of the Camp David talks of July 25, 2000.
But unlike the fictitious Israeli ‘generous offer’, the Palestinian offer, as revealed by Aljazeera, was barely a testament to the spirit of the famed Arab generosity, but a series of decided and embarrassing concessions that, at times, took even the Israelis by surprise.

Democracy and US Strategic Interests - African Nations And The American Empire
AFTER the late President Samuel Doe of Liberia “brazenly stole” the 1985 election, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, who is now the president of that country; had this to say: “At the time, an American official told me bluntly, ‘Our strategic interests are more important than democracy’.”
This flagitious Washington tradition is what seems to elude the overly zealous civic activists that herald the White House as the headquarters of democracy.

The Power Of ‘I’: Nigerian Sham Democracy - Damn Right - No You Cannot!
Growing up, I’d always observed that the ability of a class captain to write names of all noise makers in his class depended on his capacity to withstand bullying and intimidation. A successful class captain was he who either by virtue of the biceps on his arms or the fearless spirit in his heart; stood up to the rest of his classmates, (and called for order) when things got out of hand. This is leadership at its simplest, but at that time, I knew it not. Today, it is apparent that it takes balls of steel for a leader to act right especially in the kind of sham democracy being practiced in many parts of Nigeria. It takes a strong will and an unwavering mind to realise that you are indeed a leader, and to declare to yourself time and time again: ‘I shall lead well’.

The Good Old Days: Effect Of Technology On The Lives Of The Ordinary Nigerians
An editor once referred to the 1980s as better than present times. Ironically, the rapid technological advancement of the present time evolved from the desires to make life better and more comfortable. But how much of these truly affect the lives of the ordinary Nigerian.
Back in the glorious years of old, education was something every Nigerian looked forward to and could afford. Though the schools were fewer than what presently obtains, everything was done to encourage enrolment and delivery of qualitative education to the citizens.

The Canadian Zionism Question: A Fruitful Research Avenue For Tenured University Professors?
Activist Teacher:
http://activistteacher.blogspot.com/2011/01/canadian-zionism-question.html
“This is the kind of obviousness that a child can see—though the child may, later in life, become browbeaten into believing that the obvious problems are "non-problems", to be argued into nonexistence by careful reasoning and clever choices of definition.”
-- Roger Penrose
“... so obvious that it takes really impressive discipline to miss it ...”
-- Noam Chomsky
Here we have Israel as an internationally recognized thug, keeper of the largest open-air prison on earth, regularly practicing war crimes against civilians, targeting civilian infrastructure and continuously disregarding the Geneva Conventions – virtually unanimously denounced by the international community, by every human rights watch group on the globe, and by international civil society for the last many decades [1] – and how do Canadian politicians and parliamentarians respond?

Can The Palestinian Authority (PA) Tackle Corruption? PA Serious Fraud, Embezzlement And Bribery
To clean up its image, the Palestinian Authority is moving to stamp out corruption. But can it be enough if the big names are exempt, asks Khaled Amayreh in Ramallah
The Palestinian Authority (PA) is preparing to file formal charges against dozens of current and former officials accused of embezzling hundreds of millions of dollars. Critics, however, describe the current campaign as being too little too late, given the rampancy of corruption and the radical -- and destabilising -- work that must be done in order to stem the tide of corruption.

Struggle In Indonesia: Ubaid Denies The Conclusion By Expert Witness
Ubaid alias Luthfi Haidaroh disputed the statement of the expert witness Prof. Dr. Sarwito Sarwono who mentioned that the military training in Aceh had created terror on the public of Aceh specifically and the society of Indonesia generally.
According to Ubaid, the conclusion of the expert witness was not objective, because the participants in the exercise never terrorized the public.
“We trained on the mountain which are not accessible to the public how can we be said as terrorizing the society?” he said.

Let Aristide Return! New York Times Coverage of Haiti under Aristide
On February 29, 2004, US marines abducted him at gunpoint, airlifting him forcibly to the Central Africa Republic. It was one of Haiti's darkest moments, losing its beloved leader, reelected President in 2000 with 92% of the vote. For over six years, he's been exiled in South Africa, wants to return, and on January 19, wrote an open letter, thanking his host country and their people for welcoming him hospitably, saying:
Since forcibly abducted, "the people of Haiti have never stopped calling for my return....Despite the enormous (post-quake) challenges that they face....their determination to make the return happen has increased."

The Big Kingdom: Freedom, America, China And The Rest...
If you want to get a sense of why foreigners hate the U.S. Empire for its arrogance, elitism, and pomposity, just take a look at the following two editorials by the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Yes, I know that these two newspapers are not owned and operated by the U.S. government but the mindset expressed by the editorial writers easily mirrors that of Empire officials. The two editorials address China and, specifically, the upcoming trip to Washington, D.C., by China’s president, Hu Jintao.

The Greenery Of Band-e-Sarda, Fallen Prey To The American Terror

Nearly half a century ago this dam was constructed on the rivers flowing from the province of Paktia and Ghazni, endorsing agricultural planning and various fruit crops.
