Assalam alaikum Br. Damn it's been over two years already? SubhanAllah time is FLYING...but I wish you the best in life and just in case we dont bump into each other on these forums, I'll ask about you when I make it to Junnah (inshAllah). Maybe in Junnah we can sit down and have some tea and discuss SOL and the good times while we leave the Hur at the castle, U Heard!

Originally posted by Al-Mu'minah: ..Perhaps you should give sadaqah, meet up with old friends, visit the little ones. Sadaqah is a must inshAllah. As for meeting up with old friends, when we do meet up on eid, we find ourselves sitting at Tim Horton's looking at each other and saying, "Yo, so what do you wanna do?" and the next person responds, "I dont know, what do you wanna do?" and this continues for 20-25 minutes and that's when I say, "look at the time, boy I better get going cause...." So this Eid..INSHALLAH, things will be different. In fact, I think Im gonna try something totally different. I'm waiting to recieve a recipe from someone and when I get it, I will put that recipe to practise and if I succeed at baking the cake, I'll deliver it to my cousin's house. We await the results of my baking experience

Originally posted by -Nomadique-: If you bothered to get on facebook.. I'm back on Facebook from my three month suspension so why don’t you send me a recipe so I can try to bake (but don’t let any of my homeboys know that I asked for a recipe or else that might make me look un-manly *If you know what I mean.. *)

Originally posted by Al-Mu'minah: Inshallah this Eid lands on Friday though. Hey sis, I got an email today from my local masjid and they mentioned how eid is on Wednesday so I guess your Friday night home alone plans are out of the picture As for my plans for eid, this year will be different since most of my family will be heading to the states and my mom left for Australia...so I can kiss the idea of a family dinner goodbye What is a brotha to do...?

Assalam alaikum SeekKnowledge, On the day of Uhud there were 300 men who abandoned the battlefield led my the leader of the hypocrites, Abdullah bin Ubai. As for there being any famous companions amongst those hypocrites? Allahu alem Interestingly, every man wants to be remembered by history for something that they did but subhanAllah history forgets the names and lives of the majority of the munafiqeen whereas Allah preserves the work and lives of those who were pious. For example, how many books are around today that where written 700 or 800 or even 1300 years ago such as Imam Malik or Imam Ahmed and so on and so forth. Allahu alem and what I’ve written is just a reflection of my personal understanding regarding history. Haneefah, subhanAllah sis I remember the Light of Guidance class that we took with Yasir Qadhi and till this day, that was my favourite Almaghrib class. Most recently I took the Breach of Covenant class which is the Tafseer of Surah Baqarah and SUBHANALLAH, no jokes…it was a scary class. Studying those ayaats you mentioned in Al-Baqarah regarding the hypocrites hit us hard and everyone of us could notice some of those signs. Some brothers were so scared and freaked out about the class after those ayaats, Walahi I did not see them comeback after the first weekend (well one brother particular didn’t come back) But I hope everything is going good with you inshAllah

On The Day of Uhud (Part One): On the day of Uhud, I stood along side the greatest of men. My heart overwhelmed with excitement, Knowing I had missed Badr and Uhud was my opportunity to make amends. For indeed I was only one young fighter amongst brave warriors But I had prepared myself to meet an honourable end. We marched forward and none from amongst us requested rest. To my left stood Sad ibn Abi Waqas with this arrows wrapped to his chest To my right, Mus’ab ibn Umair, a companion from amongst the best And Abdullah ibn Jahash was the only man known to me who begged Allah more than I to meet death Soon afterwards, Allah exposed the deceivers from amongst us The liars whose hearts were in a state of rust They were the hypocrites who abandoned the battlefield to fulfill their lusts. But I loved death more than they loved their lives Or enjoying the company of their wives And history will forever remember them as those who use to speak lies

Hey, I'm a Canadian... (Ehh, that left a sour taste in my mouth) Anyways, I know we got more Canadians than the list provided by Cadaan.

Originally posted by Red Sea: It's done for me. Assalam alaikum Bro. Now where did this feeling of losing hope come from? I promise you bro...I promise you, after the pain, we will experience prosperity and history will capture the names of the fighters who will forever be remembered for their fame. Patience is the name of the game...

I wonder if the "purification process" or "letting go" is harder for one gender than it is for the other. Ofcourse brothers go through the pain of letting go but since women are more at base with their emotions, does that mean that letting go for them is more painful? The way I look at it, if the relationship was based around haram than the result of the relationship is pain. Whether that pain presents itself today or reaches us in a year, no good is the outcome of it but just time wasted and pain that could fill the sky. But on the other hand, if that relationship was based around halal, even if that relationship ends and pain reaches us, Allah will (inshAllah) grant us three things in return. See the thing that we have to understand is everything will end. Whether that thing is good or bad, strong or weak, the law of Allah has it that nothing will remain but Allah. Come to terms with this fact and it will be easier to accept reality. Back to what I was saying, Allah will grant us reward for showing patience when times were hard and He will also replace what He took from us with someone even better (inshAllah) and lastly, He would make us feel content with His decree.

Set Me Free: Set me free to leave the land of immorality, Before I burst and become a menace to society Suicidal thoughts feed the body like the Range Rover is feed by gasoline Confusion graspes their minds as to why many posses extreme views from world issues Fear firm in their hearts so they keep the soldiers of Allah close in sight, Thinking they would perhaps convert their views to action in the middle of the night But still I fall asleep trapped in the most evil of societies A land where the women are used as sex objects Where modesty does not exist And yet they want to force other Nations into democracy Hypocrisy is their way of life. Saddening to the heart, Incomprehensible to the mind, Are those Muslims men that feel no pain over the death of their brothers Or over the rape of their sisters Let alone the conquer of our Muslim lands They are not known to me to be men they are in the group of women In fact, they are the women of women’s I’m free from their thoughts of loving security And from being deceived by the media that feeds the souls pure lies But I envy the fighters who fight in the brightness of the daylight While I stand and plea to Allah in the middle of the night Seeking permission from Him to fight But as for today, I reach for the pen and I write Converting the words from my heart to pearls of light

Originally posted by Khalaf: Those whom were alive during the period between the Prophet Isa (Jesus pbuh) and Prophet Muhammad pbuh. It is from my understanding that those people who lived between Prophets such as Musa (as) and Muhammad (saw), Allah will test those people on the Day of Judgment. Allah will order an angel to tell those people that their Lord has commanded them to jump in the fire (and there would be a fire in front of them) so those who obey the angel, Allah will save and admit them into His paradise but those who refuse (meaning, those who say..why is our Lord asking us to jump into this fire and such comments) would have disobeyed a direct command from Allah on the Day they could see all the people have been gathered before Allah, who is the True King, and thus would be among the losers and Allah knows best. Originally posted by Khalaf: And of course children, who die as children will be not held to account. We know from many hadeeth that children who die while they are still young would in fact be in Junnah as servants to the dwellers of Paradise and once again, Allah knows best.

Originally posted by Resistance: The question is is one brave enuff to dip their hands into the marrige hole. Do we really have a choice? Really though..if marriage is completing half of our deen and fulfilling a sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saw)...do we really have a choice whether we should dip our hands into the hole or not? Ibn Masood was once asked, if he had one day to live, what would he do? He responded with some very good words but the part which is relevate to this topic is the fact that he mentioned that he would get married. SubhanAllah, this is Ibn Masood were talking about. If you dont know who he is...do yourself a favor and get to know him inshAllah.

Reflections of the Soul: I lay in bed in the darkest of nights trying to fall asleep in peace But my soul refuses and rebels against me Instead I’m left with flashbacks of events from the people who lived before me.. Those who followed their lusts and now are covered by the silence of dust Not a single one of them do I see walking on the surface Not a single memory is left from those who breached the covenant but a lesson to be learned For history works in a circle and is bound to repeat Or will I be foolish and ignore the lessons and find myself in flames that carry a great heat Or will I not reflect over the pages of history and recall the events of Bani Israel I refuse... I refuse to ignore the truth I refuse to be deceived for I am not a deceiver nor can I be deceived Its time we take the covenant of Allah with strength For death is approaching and our stay in dunya is short in length So lets seek the knowledge of Islam together Lets worship Allah with sincerity and devotion forever If I fall, help me get up For you are my brother and she is our sister And all praises be to Allah who has chosen you and I To be among the best nation known to mankind Glad tidings belongs to the believers who live and die Glad tidings be to the fighters who sold themselves for the price of paradise

I want to be like AbduAllah Ibn Az-Zubair, I want to turn my back on the world like Mus'ab Ibn Umair, I want to be honoured like Sa'd Ibn Mu'aadh, And die like Khaalid Ibn Sa'iid I wanna show my courage to Allah like Ibn Waleed And remain firm to my beliefs. I wanna defend life with dignity, Until I meet Allah whom I believe in with certainty I wanna marry a sister who resembles Aisha While my character resembles that of the Messenger of Allah (saw) And so my short stay in dunya can be filled with peace and tranquility I ask Allah to grant me children so I can train them to be like Jabir And posses courage like that of Jafar And to become educated in the halal wa haraam like Mu’aadh ibn Jabal I want to serve Islam I wanna be a great speaker of this religion like Suhail Ibn Amr And fight bravely like Urwah Ibn Amr While guarding my worship of Allah like Abu Darda

This is a thread with pure jokes. I havent been on SOL for awhile and I guess Ive been missing out on alot of INFORMATION.

Originally posted by chubacka: Whats his name? Assalam and the answer to your question is Abdullah bin Salam (and Allah knows best) So I guess its my turn and umm (thinking ...thinking) Since this month of Ramadan is the month of Quran what is the 62 surah of the Blessed Book? And what is one sunnah we should do on that day?

The Feeling: Reminiscing on the feeling The feeling of joy mixed with misery Confusion with an ounce of delusion I was overtaken by the feeling spoken by many before me I was a victim to endless thoughts, Like an inmate, I was forced to meditate on the feeling that overpowered me like a great army I was a solider with a strong sword but with no shield Going up against an army that was full of men who were ready to fight until the end But my sword could only defend me from so many And without a shield, how could I survive and so I was overtaken by the feeling I was down and out Like a boxer in the third round of a heavy weight fight So now I reach for the pen and I write I’m a natural born solider, Created to never say, “I don’t care” Unless I’m standing in front of the enemy and yet I was conquered by the feeling The feeling that has left me with one everlasting memory The memory of the days of joy But now those days have passed and finally I’m free from the disease that entrapped me Entrapped me within my own body, Within my own mind In particular, Within thoughts that this feeling would last forever However that was foolish Foolish of me to think the feeling could last forever Knowing the existence of the creation would come to an end So I sat down with my soul and we made amends in addition to a treaty The treaty stated my principles to exist The treaty stated we will never be conquered We will never appear weak nor will we fail Therefore we will never taste defeat With the condition that we believe Belief in the unseen Belief in the lord of all the Worlds Belief in the decree

Assalam alaikum Another Ramadan is about to arrive and before it does...we have to prepare ourselves to do MORE than we did last Ramadan. Do you remember your level of eman last ramadan? Do you remember how much time you committed yourself to read the Quran or how much money you gave for the sake of Allah? InshAllah we need to strive hard because the truth is... we never know but this could be our last Ramadan. So I remind myself first and than the rest...that we shouldnt get caught in the hype of Ramadan but we should realize its another opportunity for us to come closer to Allah. Ramadan is a blessed month and we all love the feeling of eman that enters our hearts during Ramadan however it is also a month in which many responsibilities has been placed upon us. I pray that Allah makes us understand and admits us into His mercy.

Freedom: Freedom is no longer left to the words of politians But to the bullets of those who defend their way of life Freedom is no longer a thought in the mind But an aggressive movement that runs the occupiers out of the land Freedom is no longer fake pictures and clips presented by the media But stories of brave men who stood to fight on the front line Freedom is no longer between the finger and the trigger But is the result of pulling the trigger and throwing the body into the river Freedom is no longer between the mind and the soul But is freeing the heart from that which has corrupted the mind No longer between the comforting words of the hypocrite and being righteousness But is the fulfillment of your covenant with the utmost sincerity Freedom is no longer between an intention and an action But is following the Sunnah and fighting to defend life with dignity Freedom is freeing the servant from worshiping the slave Freedom is embarking upon the path that has led many to their graves Freedom is the worship of One God Freedom is kissing your wife, one last time Forwarding a letter to your mother that will make her laugh and cry Reaching for the glock, locking and loading Marching forth from your home and never looking back Freedom is between fighting and meeting death And when you meet death, Freedom is acquiring the highest level in Junnah

My Letter to the angel of death When we meet, let’s meet in a good location In an open field that has been soaked with tears The tears of those who were left behind As the souls of the mujahadeen have departed to the sky And if you speak to me, than greet me with peace And rush me to my lord who awaits my arrival I hope to meet Him while He is pleased with me O’Messenger who took the souls of my forefathers, Know I am among the men who love to meet you A love that has been created through pure aqeedah and tawheed While I have known of men who struggle within to remove you from their minds And if they win the fight within, Will they then be spared death? Little do they reflect upon the appointment you have with them When the time comes that you shall request my soul to come out You will find my soul to listen and to be among the obedient And If I remain truthful to my covenant, Than remove my soul gently and with ease And I fall short due to sin, Ya’Allah save me, for You alone is my Wali O’Angel of Death, How I wish we can meet while I stand strong to defend the rights of the orphan Or while I stand to offer as-salah in the midst of a firefight with the enemy Or while I am in Al-Masjid Al-Haram and I’m engaged in the act of sajood O’ how I wish we could meet in a land where the people of Junnah have departed from While committed to be act that resembles the People of Junnah

(Assalam alaikum) It’s apparent, I’m surrounded from every corner by cowards Who love the glitter of this world they hide behind walls of emotion Who accept the deceptions of Western media and take upon false notion While our people fight to survive another day Our women getting rapped and married off to the occupiers of our Fore Father’s land While we live with satisfaction Despite the fact, our brothers and sisters getting killed Our hearts feel no pain While on the other side, Mothers grieve over the bodies of their innocent dead children Its time I stand and fulfill the covenant I took The covenant of Tawheed and standing to defend dignity While you sleep with peace My heart can’t recall the last moment it fell asleep with such ease I’m over-taken by dreams of battlefield scenes Some fights victory is granted, While other times, Patience is most befitting for those who believe My destiny got me joining gunfights in a mountain like scenery And my heart bleeds for peace across Somalia and the Middle East If I leave this world before my people enter a state of prosperity Ya’Allah remember me as one who stood for Justice And remember me on the day I stand before You For You are sufficient for me as a Witness

Assalam alaikum Thanks for the link, needless to say, I really needed a Adhan player for my computer. May Allah reward you for your efforts
