HASNA-loool..at Health instructor..gal..you spotted my passion..I actually plan to retire(on my own island in SOMALIA some day insha-allah)as a health professor-public health professor..teaching TROPICAL MEDICINE or EPIDEMIOLOGY.in one of those somali jamacadooyin.

OK-I will just answer my Q-coz I know many are hungry or plain tired These are the women the prophet used to refer to whenever he is teaching the sahaaba(saxaaba) about WOMEN and ISLAM-So, in summary the three women mentioned are: Khadija (The prophet's s.a.w wife), 'The Black woman' and Al-Rumaisa(Abu Talha's wife)- Allah be pleased with them. VIKING -As you have specified previously -[reported by Anas r.c ]-'The best women of mankind are four: Mariam daughter of `Imraan, Assiya wife of Pharaoh, Khadija daughter of Khuwailid, and Fatima the daughter of the Messenger of Allaah. ' [bukhari and Muslim] Here they(the 3 women) are mentioned in the Hadiths:- Narrated 'Aisha: I did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet as much as I did of Khadija (although) she died before he married me, for I often heard him mentioning her, and Allah had told him to give her the good tidings that she would have a palace of Qasab (i.e. pipes of precious stones and pearls in Paradise), and whenever he slaughtered a sheep, he would send her women-friends a good share of it. [al-Bukhari] Narrated Ismail: I asked 'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa, "Did the Prophet give glad tidings to Khadija?" He said, "Yes, of a palace of Qasab (in Paradise) where there will be neither any noise nor any fatigue."[al-Bukhari] Narrated Abu Huraira: Jibreel (Gabriel) came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is Khadija coming to you with a dish having meat soup (or some food or drink). When she reaches you, greet her on behalf of her Lord (i.e. Allah) and on my behalf, and give her the glad tidings of having a Qasab palace in Paradise wherein there will be neither any noise nor any fatigue (trouble) . " [al-Bukhari] Narrated 'Ata bin Abi Rabah: Ibn 'Abbas said to me, "Shall I show you a woman of the people of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said, "This black lady came to the Prophet and said, 'I get attacks of epilepsy and my body becomes uncovered; please invoke Allah for me.' The Prophet said (to her), 'If you wish, be patient and you will have (enter) Paradise; and if you wish, I will invoke Allah to cure you.' She said, 'I will remain patient,' and added, 'but I become uncovered, so please invoke Allah for me that I may not become uncovered.' So he invoked Allah for her." [al-Bukhari] Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah: The Prophet said, "I saw myself (in a dream) entering Paradise, and behold! I saw Ar-Rumaisa', Abu Talha's wife. I heard footsteps. I asked, Who is it? Somebody said, 'It is Bilal ' Then I saw a palace and a lady sitting in its courtyard. I asked, 'For whom is this palace?' Somebody replied, 'It is for 'Umar.' I intended to enter it and see it, but I thought of your ('Umar's) Ghira (and gave up the attempt)." 'Umar said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle! How dare I think of my Ghira (self-respect) being offended by you? [al-Bukhari] The black woman mentioned in this Hadith is not even known by her name, or who she were, she is rather known by her deeds, her faith, her modesty, her chastity, her care about not being uncovered and for her being an inmate of Paradise. And that is what matters indeed. There are few points that are worth mentioning in regard of her case : -She was physically sick, yet she sought cure in the du`a of the Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam. she knew that the one who cures, ash_Shaafee, is Allah. and Allah would answer the answer of His messenger. for FULL READING: http://www.jannah.org/sisters/womofjan.html

^^^I see

^^you got one companion (Allah be pleased with her)correct-sorry still missing 2 I will go by the magic #3 (i.e. if the 3rd person misses, then I will relay the answers insha-allah ).

^^^Try again sis- I meant to say "the 3 women among the Prophets s.a.w. companions)

Sorry If I do not reply to your Quiz NUR. This is not a ramadan quiz, rather logically into politics. Somali politics is corrosive, muddy and utter ignominy in the face of the world (so are other countries)-I supplicate to ALLAH to rinse out hate and restore tranquility within the victim’s hearts and guide those astray (and abducted by nationalism/tribalism revolutionary) to the straight path-and all of us. In the meantime, I will stay optimistic

Wiilo mucho grasias senorita GARAB-DIISANoow tuutuujiska badaan iska dhaaf waa bil kheyr qabte-ajaajah Ka gambiso sxb :cool:

^^sorry. STOIC correct; it originated from Latin America. So I guess I got the slavery Q right. Thx again. Next Q: Who were the 3 women (Allah S.W. be pleased with them) referred to "Women of AL-JANNAH(paradise)" that the Prophet (S.A.W)mentioned?

waraa WIILO iyo NUUNE...indihi(eyes) baa naxanuune sidii aan labadiina idin firsaneyne..sheekada xamar jajab bilaajo hoosteed la aada noh..cajiib badanaa. Kaley horta WIILO XOOG badanaa

^^^Yes, there is many variation..as there is to the Terms SLAVERY and SLAVE-TRADE. But here is what I so far remember from AFRICAN HISTORY CLASSES back in KENYA The british govt/parliament was the first world power at the time to ban SLAVE TRADE, hence the ABOLIITION OF THE SLAVE-TRADE ACT in 1807(some variation,but around 1804-1805)-and any British ship/slave-businessmen who were caught trading were fined £100 for every slave on board-But we know this didn't stop the brits. And this led to the SLAVERY ABOLITION ACT passed by the British parliament in 1833 (notice the difference in SLAVERY and SLAVE-TRADE)-still this really didn't end in 1833-but atleast it passed as PHONY LAW :mad: Well hope that helps. Here is my Question though: Where was QUININE (the medicine for MALARIA) discovered or originally grown(I have given you the hint already-now you know that is some kind of plant..but its the refined product that we see in the market currently).

Ajaajah! aduunba meeshan kasocdo

Some information regarding the Health and Healing practices/benefits of RAMADAN; and Islam & AIDS. Medical aspects of Islamic fasting- Dr Shahid Athar :- http://www.crescentlife.com/spirituality/medical_aspects_of_islamic_fasting.htm Medical benefits of Taraweeh prayers- Dr Ibrahim B. Syed :-http://www.crescentlife.com/spirituality/medical_benefits_of_tarawih.htm Muslim,Islam & AIDS-By Amina Wudud http://www.crescentlife.com/wellness/muslims,_islam_and_aids.htmIslam I found this quote quite interesting-coming from a theologist point of view as well as true Muslim-JZK. HIV/AIDS and Sexuality in Islam With regard to the 80% heterosexual women who contract AIDS in monogamous relations, a direct look at Islam and sexuality is called for. According to Shari’ah if a Muslim man desires intercourse with his wife, she must comply. If she does not, she is guilty of nushuz, recalcitrance. A wife who is nashizah is no longer eligible for nafaqah: maintenance or financial support. In addition, in various degrees of interpretation and application, the Qur’an asserts that the husband of such a woman may beat her. In the face of this, the vast majority of Muslim wives, those with gentle husbands, husbands of polygyny: open or secret, husbands of violence and abuse, upright husbands of moral standing and husbands of AIDS, open their legs to their men as they are not only expected, but commanded to do by that which is most popularly understood as “Islamâ€. Women turn towards men who have contracted AIDS and open their legs to their own death and destruction. It matters little if the men have contracted AIDS by either legal and moral or illegal and immoral means. By legal and moral means, I refer to the husband who has contracted AIDS by marrying younger more sexually virile women as confirmation of their masculine sexuality and then turn to the demure and compliant wife of longer standing. In turn, she may then give birth to or infect at birth their innocent child. The consequences for the muhsinat and qaanitat are the same: they will die because they are “goodâ€. How does a statement, “la taqrabuna ‘l-zina†apply to them? How does “Islam†resolve this problem? can read more on the above link. Ramadan Mubarak!

I liked the pic in where they are at the beach-don't ask my why and the 'Sophisticated' city goat-lol, never knew city goats were such pricy commodities And for godsake-why is it that every mini-town hall meeting that I see in somalia/somaliland etc- is decorated with CHRISMAS lighting in ODD COLORS :eek: lord have mercy! What happened to INTERIOR DECORATORS N'wayz, the pics are nice. Laakin, it seems to me that land/plot where the house/hotel/premises is built is SUPER DRY(apart from few trees or grass on secluded compound)-VERY ARID :mad:And this is the trend near all construction sites in the SOMALI-WEYN(the whole country that is).
