http://www.islamcan.com There was a Jew of Damascus who was reading a holy book one day when he came across the name of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) written in it. Not liking this, he removed the name. But the next day he found it there again. Again he took out the name; but on the third day it had appeared again. He thought: "Perhaps this is a sign that a true Emissary has come. I will journey southwards to Madinah." And he forthwith started out, not tarrying until he reached the city of the Prophet. When he arrived there, knowing nobody, he was near the Mosque of the Prophet when the Sahabi Anas (ra) arrived. He said to Anas: "Friend, take me to the Prophet." Anas (ra) led him into the mosque, which was full of people in anguish. Abu Bakr (ra) the successor was sitting there at the head of the assembly. The old man went up to him, thinking he must be Muhammad, and said: "O Chosen Envoy of God, a strayed old man has come to offer you peace." Hearing the title of the Prophet used, everyone present burst into a flood of tears. The stranger was uncertain as to what to do. He said: "I am a foreigner and a Jew, and I am unaware of the rites of the Faith of Submission to the Will of Allah. Have I said something untoward? Should I have remained silent? Or is this a ritual observance? Why do you cry? If it is a ceremony, I have never heard of it." Omar (ra) said to him: "We do not weep because of anything which you have done. But you must hear, unfortunate one, that it is a but a week since the Prophet left the earth. When we heard his name, grief took possession of our hearts anew." As soon as he heard this, the ancient tore his clothes in anguish. When he had recovered a little, he said: "Do me one favour. Let me have at least a robe of the Prophet. If I cannot see him, at least let me have this." Omar (ra) answered: "Only Fatima (ra) could give us one of his robes." Ali (ra) said: "But she will not allow anyone to go near her." But they went to her door and knocked, and explained what they wanted. Fatima (ra) answered: "Verily, the Prophet spoke truly when he said, shortly before he died: 'A wayfarer, who has love towards me and who is a good man, will come to the house. He will not see me. Give him, therefore, this patchwork robe as if from me, and for me treat him gently, offering salutations.'" The Jew put the robe on himself and, professing Islam, asked to be taken to the Prophet's grave. It was at this place that he breathed his last.

There was a pious man among the Banu Israel who always remained busy in the worship of Allah. A group of people came to him and told him that a tribe living nearby worshipped a tree. The news upset him, and with an axe on his shoulder he went to cut down that tree. On the way, Satan met him in the form of an old man and asked him where he was going. He said he was going to cut a particular tree. Satan said, "You have nothing to be concerned with this tree, you better mind your worship and do not give it up for the sake of something that does not concern you." "This is also worship," retorted the worshipper. Then Satan tried to prevent him from cutting the tree, and there followed a fight between the two, in which the worshipper overpowered the Satan. Finding himself completely helpless, Satan begged to be excused, and when the worshipper released him, he again said, "Allah has not made the cutting of this tree obligatory on you. You do not lose anything if you do not cut it. If its cutting were necessary, Allah could have got it done through one of his many Prophets." The worshipper insisted on cutting the tree. There was again a fight between the two and again the worshipper overpowered the Satan. "Well listen," said Satan, "I propose a settlement that will be to your advantage." The worshipper agreed, and Satan said, "You are a poor man, a mere burden on this earth. If you stay away from this act, I will pay you three gold coins everyday. You will daily find them lying under your pillow. By this money you can fulfil your own needs, can oblige your relative, help the needy, and do so many other virtuous things. Cutting the tree will be only one virtue, which will ultimately be of no use because the people will grow another tree." This proposal appealed to the worshipper, and he accepted it. He found the money on two successive days, but on the third day there was nothing. He got enraged, picked up his axe and went to cut the tree. Satan as an! old man again met him on the way and asked him where he was going. "To cut the tree," shouted the worshipper. "I will not let you do it," said Satan. A fight took place between the two again but this time Satan had the upper hand and overpowered the worshipper. The latter was surprised at his own defeat, and asked the former the cause of his success. Satan replied, "At first, your anger was purely for earning the pleasure of Allah, and therefore Almighty Allah helped you to overpower me, but now it has been partly for the sake of the gold coins and therefore you lost."

Australian terror suspect David Hicks says he was forcibly injected with drugs and had his head smashed into asphalt while blindfolded as part of his interrogation at Guantanamo Bay. Hicks has also told of being beaten for hours at a time, denied food and forced to run in leg shackles that ripped the skin off his ankles. In an affidavit which details publicly for the first time his own claims of torture in Guantanamo Bay, Hicks said he was offered a prostitute in return for spying on other prisoners. He also said his fellow detainees were terrorised by attack dogs. Hicks has been held at the US detention centre in Cuba since January 2002, after being detained while fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan a few months earlier. "I have been struck with hands, fists, and other objects (including rifle butts)," Hicks, 29, of Adelaide, said in the affidavit that was sealed in August and now released by his lawyers. "I have had my head rammed into asphalt several times (while blindfolded). "I have had handcuffs placed on me so tightly, and for so long (as much as 14-15 hours) that my hands were numb for a considerable period thereafter. "I have been struck while under the influence of sedatives that were forced upon me by injection. "I was told repeatedly that if I cooperated during the course of these interrogations, I would be sent home to Australia after the interrogations were concluded. "Failure to cooperate meant the loss of the ordinary necessities of living, such as showers, sufficient food, relief from ... regular abuse." Hicks said he watched members of the Internal Reaction Force (IRF) - a military squad used to subdue problem detainees - enter a man's cell and "brutalise him with the aid of an attack dog". He said the IRF invasions were so common, detainees referred to the practice as being "IRF'ed". "I have seen detainees suffer serious injuries as a result of being IRF'ed," he said. He said after he was moved to Camp Echo, he was held in solitary confinement and did not see sunlight for eight months.

A MAN IS LYING IN BED IN THE HOSPITAL WITH AN OXYGEN MASK OVER HIS MOUTH. A YOUNG NURSE APPEARS TO SPONGE HIS HANDS AND FEET. "NURSE," HE MUMBLES FROM BEHIND THE MASK, ARE MY TESTICLES BLACK?" EMBARRASSED, THE YOUNG NURSE REPLIES,"I DON'T KNOW, I'M ONLY HERE TO WASH YOUR HANDS AND FEET". HE STRUGGLES AGAIN TO ASK, NURSE, ARE MY TESTICLES BLACK ?". EVENTUALLY, SHE PULLS BACK THE COVERS, RAISES HIS GOWN, HOLDS HIS PENIS IN ONE HAND AND HIS TESTICLES IN HER OTHER HAND AND TAKES A CLOSE LOOK, AND SAY'S, "THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM!". FINALLY, THE MAN PULLS OFF HIS OXYGEN MASK AND REPLIES," THAT WAS VERY NICE BUT, ARE... MY...TEST...RESULTS...BACK".

CHILD: Dad, where did I come from? DAD: Well, dad and mom met in a chat room on the net. I set up a meeting with your mom and we landed in the bathroom at the Cyber Café. Then, mom did some downloads from dads memory stick and when dad was ready to upload to mom's hard disk, we discovered that there was no firewall. Seeing that it was a bit too late to cancel, I just carried on doing the upload. Nine months later, the damn virus then made a copy of files from both mom & dad's data and expelled it in an email attachment using mom's address!

We also had Somali's at the Sydney olyipcs. It was for track and field, she actually wore biki thingie... :eek: and to make things worse she came last place . Ceeb big time Ceeb.

Um Madem OG is already "happily" married, or so I thought. You guys should respect that, quite shukansying married women uff.

I saw the Punisher...5/10 As fpr the day after tomorrow, i'm in to those kinds movies indepenence day and the likes, just not my cuppa tea. Wasalaam.

Asalaamu'Calaykum folks Howdy ppl subxan'allah been awhile. What happend to SOL anyway? Seems like the only way to get here is so use some sort of trap door :confused: So many new posts I don't think I have the energy to to read them all. Anyway just popped in to say hi, and I think deep down I missed you guys Wasalaam.

Subxan'Allah

Asalaamu'Calaykum, Ladies favorite subject, perfume. I absolutely love J'adore by Christian Dior Gio by Giorgio Armani Hugo Woman by Hugo Boss Gucci Rush 2 by Gucci Oh and Versaci by Versaci As for men…Happy by Clinique. Yummy, man I tell you that perfume does it for me. I love it. I’m scared that if a guy walks past me smelling if it might follow him, lol. Overall I love the light fresh smelling perfumes. Not them heavy stuff. I absolutely hate Angel and can’t stand Chanel 05 yuck Wasalaam

Asalaamu'Calaykum, He who believes in God and the Last Day should honour his guest; he who believes in God and the Last Day should not annoy his neighbours; and he who believes in God and the Last Day should say what is good or keep silent. (Bukhari, Muslim). He who believes in God and the Last Day should honour his guest. Provisions for the road are what will serve for a day and night; hospitality extends for three days; what goes beyond that is Sadqa; and it is not allowable that a guest should stay till he makes himself encumbrance. (Bukhari, Muslim). Wasalaam.

Asalaamu'Calaykum, LooL waraa checkmate I often wonder if you are trying to flirt with me or insult me. Tomato? Do I look like a tomato to you? I don’t even like tomato’s, heck I don't even eat tomato’s. And now I find myself a fat red tomato left on a jagged rock what have I ever done to deserve this :confused: As for nicknames, There's this guy who has the name caandho can you imagine. Akhas. Mind you big time ciiyal suuq wayee so go figure. Wasalaam.

OK let me settle the scores. After listening to your review I was left confused on whether or not I should see Kill Bill. Well I did. Yep I actually did and I’m not quite sure if I liked it. It was weird to say the least. Not you’re typical movie. Very different. The fight scenes were so fake but I think that’s what also made it unique. Gruesome but not like scary gruesome. Anyway over all I think I give it a 6 out of 10 the main reasoning being is that I decided I’m going to see part II, because the buggers left me hanging in mid air..."did you tell her that her daughter is still alive" I was like *jaw on the ground* Wasalaam BTW: Happy B'day to you ladies, wish you many years of happiness and health.

Are you guys joined at the hip or something? LoL I've noticed that where checkmate is tuujiye is not far behind.

Asalaamu'Calaykum, LoL. You really do have too much spare time on your hands don't you. Where do you get this weird stuff from anyway? Very interesting imagination you got there. How to milk a geel kulahaa. Can't wait for PartII. Wasalaam.

LooooL ooh man, damn it. Walahi I had it on my comp but couple of months ago I cleaned out the whole thing and got it upgraded. All gone but wont forget that one. Classic walahi. The guy is talking about energy and the Somali is busy talking about how many passports he has. Oh and the accent, man the accent. Damn. I had this other one that was worse lakiin not Somali. The clip was called banana. It was this guy playing a joke on his friend pretending he was getting electricuted, so funny man. Big time chicken I tell you. Ooh man I had so many uff why did i get rid of them wasalaam

Huh :confused: What $20? Although I don't recall it, I'll remember to put in a contribution for you. And you remember not to bring dirty laundry out in public ay. tsk...tsk...tsk.

Asalaamu’Calaykum, I know this has been done before and I’m sad to see it not last. I’m hoping this time round we will make this the most replied to thread because I know for a fact that we shall never run out hadiths nor its benefits and knowledge that we shall surly get from them. Not to mention the amount of Ajar each one of us will get when we post them, and read them. This is not limited to one per week. There are no limits in our quest for knowledge. I think it is only fair to start off with this Hadith; When a man dies no further reward is recorded for his actions, with three exceptions: Sadqa, which continues to be supplied, or knowledge from which benefit continues to be reaped, or the prayers of a good son to his dead father. (Muslim). Wasalaam

Hmm...I apologies for any misconduct I have ever done, and any trashy posts I have contributed to I also intend to look for my loose change piggy bank container and get back to you soon. Wasalaam.

"markaan wenaado fiiri taan kugu dhigi dhoono nursing home aan ku gelina" LooooL. Xaasid waaxid.

Asalaamu'Calayum, Nur- LoL, I'm not that bad As for a reponse in aaf Somali...That might be pushing it. Aaf somaali maa kufiicni nooh, miid jajab un baan ku hadlaa. Rayaana- Macaan yes I got it, your a real darlz. How you been sis? By the way did I mention I've always loved that name. Rayaan-One of the doors to Jannatal Firdos, the one in which the fasting people shall enter right. Mahsa'Allah nice pick girl. Wasalaam.

Asalaamu'Calaykum, La Fidele- Masha'Allah you pretty much covered it. Blaming will not help solve anything and the only way things are going to improve is with education. I do agree with salifii so a degree. Sending your child to an Islamic school does help a lot. For one thing she won’t have to worry about not fitting in. Although there are dangers with sending your children to Islamic schools as well. Most parents send their children thinking that’s enough. You need to first start instilling Islamic values on your child from with in the home. Whether your kid's are in an Islamic school or not, most teenagers (living in the west) tend to go through the same fazes of life like most other teenagers. In Islamic school you can't control everything. Some how they seem to find away to get in to things such as boys. The good thing is that when you send your child to a public school you can raise telling them they are kafirs and not one of us. But imagine when they are at an Islamic school with friends that are Muslim telling them "oh he soo likes you" "its only coffee" what than? The child gets confused and thinks hell why not. They’re friends doing it and they are Muslim. One of us. Where as if you teach them the realities of life and how to implement Islam in to there live and why they should, you have given them the tools they need to face the world outside. You've done your job. We also need to understand and accept the issues that will face your children in the western world than educate you and your children on how to tackle them. Then place all your trust in Allah. I've noticed that so many Muslims close their eyes to such issues as drugs and alcohol. These are real issues that face us everyday can we afford to turn a blind eye to it? I personally can relate to the girl mentioned in the story. I've been in this country before most Somali's even knew where it was located, so I went to school with pretty much blond hair freckle faced white folks with me being the only black one. I know what it’s like to stick out like a sore thumb. But Alhamdulilah I think I turned out ok. My mother raised us well. Alhamdulilah. Wasalaam.
