Beautiful conclusion. Mashallah

Gotta similar one posted it on interesting articles . God and the Professor of Philosophy "LET ME EXPLAIN THE problem science has with God." The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand. "You're a (Submitter), Muslim, aren't you, son?" "Yes, sir." "So you believe in God?" "Absolutely." "Is God good?" "Sure! God's good." "Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?" "Yes." The professor grins knowingly and considers for a moment. "Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?" "Yes sir, I would." "So you're good...!" "I always do my best to be a good human being , Sir." " You would help a sick and maimed person if you could ...in fact most of us would if we could... God doesn't." [No answer.] "He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Muslim (Submitter) who died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. How is this God good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?" [No answer] The elderly man is sympathetic. "No, you can't, can you?" He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax. In philosophy, you have to go easy with the new ones. "Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?" "Er... Yes." "Is Satan good?" "No." "Where does Satan come from?" The student falters. "From... God..." "That's right. God made Satan, didn't he?" The elderly man runs his bony fingers through his thinning hair and | turns to the smirking, student audience. "I think we're going to have a lot of fun this semester, ladies and gentlemen." He turns back to the Muslim. "Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?" "Yes, sir." "Evil's everywhere, isn't it? Did God make everything?" "Yes." "Who created evil?" [No answer] "Is there sickness in this world? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All the terrible things - do they exist in this world?" The student squirms on his feet. "Yes." "Who created them?" [No answer] The professor suddenly shouts at his student. "WHO CREATED THEM? TELL ME, PLEASE!" The professor closes in for the kill and climbs into the Muslim's face. In a still small voice: "God created all evil, didn't He, son?" [No answer] The student tries to hold the steady, experienced gaze and fails. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom like an aging panther. The class is mesmerised. "Tell me," he continues, "How is it that this God is good if He created all evil throughout all time?" The professor swishes his arms around to encompass the wickedness of the world. "All the hatred, the brutality, all the pain, all the torture, all the death and ugliness and all the suffering created by this good God is all over the world, isn't it, young man?" [No answer] "Don't you see it all over the place? Huh?" [Pause]. "Don't you?" The professor leans into the student's face again and whispers, "Is God good?" [No answer] "Do you believe in God, son?" The student's voice betrays him and cracks. "Yes, professor. I do." The old man shakes his head sadly. "Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. You have never seen God, Have you? " "No, sir. I've never seen Him." "Then tell us if you've ever heard you God?" "No, sir. I have not." "Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God or smelt your God...in fact, do you have any sensory perception of your God whatsoever?" [No answer] "Answer me, please." "No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't." "You're AFRAID... you haven't?" "No, sir." "Yet you still believe in him?" "...yes..." "That takes FAITH!" The professor smiles sagely at the underling. "According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son? Where is your God now?" [The student doesn't answer] "Sit down, please." The Muslim sits...Defeated. Another Muslim (Submitter) raises his hand. "Professor, may I address the class?" The professor turns and smiles. "Ah, another Submitter (Muslim) in the vanguard! Come, come, young man. Speak some proper wisdom to the gathering." The submitter looks around the room. "Some interesting points you are making, sir. Now I've got a question for you. Is there such thing as heat?" "Yes," the professor replies. "There's heat." "Is there such a thing as cold?" "Yes, son, there's cold too." "No, sir, there isn't." The professor's grin freezes. The room suddenly goes very cold. The second submitter (Muslim) continues. "You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold, otherwise we would be able to go colder than 458 - - You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it." Silence. A pin drops somewhere in the classroom. "Is there such a thing as darkness, professor?" "That's a dumb question, son. What is night if it isn't darkness? What are you getting at...?" "So you say there is such a thing as darkness?" "Yes..." "You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something, it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker and give me a jar of it. Can you...give me a jar of darker darkness, professor?" Despite himself, the professor smiles at the young effrontery before him. This will indeed be a good semester... "Would you mind telling us what your point is, young man?" "Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with and so your conclusion must be in error...." The professor goes toxic. "Flawed...? How dare you...!"" "Sir, may I explain what I mean?" The class is all ears. "Explain... oh, explain..." The professor makes an admirable effort to regain control. Suddenly he is affability itself. He waves his hand to silence the class, for the student to continue. "You are working on the premise of duality," the student explains. "That for example there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science cannot even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism but has never seen, much less fully understand them. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, merely the absence of it." The young man holds up a newspaper he takes from the desk of a neighbour who has been reading it. "Here is one of the most disgusting tabloids this country hosts, professor. Is there such a thing as immorality?" "Of course there is, now look..." "Wrong again, sir. You see, immorality is merely the absence of morality. Is there such thing as injustice? No. Injustice is the absence of justice. Is there such a thing as evil?" The submitter student pauses. "Isn't evil the absence of good?" The professor's face has turned an alarming color. He is so angry he is temporarily speechless. The student continues. "If there is evil in the world, professor, and we all agree there is, then God, if he exists, must be accomplishing a work through the agency of evil. What is that work God is accomplishing? Islam which means Submission to the will of God , tells us it is to see if each one of us will, choose good over evil." The professor bridles. "As a philosophical scientist, I don't vie this matter as having anything to do with any choice; as a realist, I absolutely do not recognize the concept of God or any other theological factor as being part of the world equation because God is not observable." "I would have thought that the absence of God's moral code in this world is probably one of the most observable phenomena going," the student replies. "Newspapers make billions of dollars reporting it every week! Tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?" "If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do." "Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?" The professor makes a sucking sound with his teeth and gives his student a silent, stony stare. "Professor. Since no-one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a priest?" "I will overlook your impudence in the light of our philosophical debate." "So you don't accept God's moral code to do ... what is righteous?" "I believe in what is - that's science!" "Ahh! SCIENCE!" the student's face splits into a grin. "Sir, you rightly state that science is the study of observed phenomena. Science too is a premise which is flawed..." "SCIENCE IS FLAWED..?" the professor splutters. The class is in uproar. The student remains standing until the commotion has subsided. "To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, may I give you an example of what I mean?" The professor wisely keeps silent. The student looks around the room. "Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen air, Oxygen, molecules, atoms, the professor's brain?" The class breaks out in laughter. The Muslim points towards his elderly, crumbling tutor. "Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain... felt the professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain?" No one appears to have done so. The submitter student shakes his head sadly. "It appears no-one here has had any sensory perception of the professor's brain whatsoever. Well, according to the rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science, I DECLARE that the professor has no brain."

What you have said is very true. Another label used is calling fellow Muslims Munafiquun.True the person may possess the signs but i beleive it is not upto us to judge. As it only causes dispute and hate in the community. And Allah knows better. It is He how knows what our hearts conceals. Wabillah Tawfiq

Asalaam aleikum Reading Suratul Baqarah (1st Juzuu)I noticed most of the verses were adressed to the Bani Israil. Made me think why this nation in particular have received Allah anger. As in Suratul Fatiha (1:7)'...not the way of those who earned Your anger(such as Jews)'. The qn is why or what did they do to reach such a pitiful state? Thus being a lesson for us as Muslims to take care of our affairs and not be the likes of them Would like first to mention the Favours given to them as in the Quraan *Deliverance from the Pharoah killing of thier sons(1:50) *They were the chosen nation in their time(1:47) *They were raised from the dead after the thunderbolt *Clouds covered them in the desert, Al Manna[sweet gum] and Al Salwa(quails) were provided to them(2:57) *Miracle of twelve springs(2:60) *Moses AS was given the Torah and the criterion of right and wrong. Returning to the earlier qn . Allah reminds the Bani Israil of its obligations to His convenant repeatedly in most of the ayahs. The following are some of the verses which shows the true characteristic of Jews and the reason why they are cursed: *They neglected their religous duties and used the Word for economic gain. v.41 ' ...be not the first to disbeleive therEin buy not with my verses a small price and fear Me and Me alone'. *They tended to conceal the truth and mix it with falsehood. V.42'and mix not truth with falsehood nor conceal the truth...' *They denied Propheet Muhamed SAW and the religion of Rakiun. As it wasnt in their interest. Continuation of verse 42-43. And v.76 *Tended to preach the religion but do not follow the teachings themselves V.44 'Enjoin you piety on people and you forget to practise ypurselves while you recite the torah. Have you no sense' A character which is cleary despised in islam. *They over stepped Allahs boundries. By worshipping the calf and yet still have the guts to ask to see Allah so that they can become believers -EXCUSES never stop *v.55 'We shall never beleive in you till we see Allah plainly' The amazing thing is Allah forgived them again He sent a thunderbolt and they were raised from the dead.Allah Akbar. *Mischievious. They were told to enter Jerusalam in prostration and say Forgive us. But some among them changed the words .Then they were punished. *Free services no reponsibility.Never content with the favours they had. We cant endure one food. So invoke your Lord for us to bring forth for us of what the earth grows, herbs, onions......' *Were rebellious. They were stubborn , killed prophets and they also turned away from the Convenant at the Mount.Also case of the Sabath. V.64-65. *Even when its apparent what is commanded, they were very admant at testing Nabii Moses patience.You notice this in the dialogue about the cow. The thing which makes me wonder is why whenever the jews want to address Allah the kept on saying 'Call upon your Lord for us...' Why? Is it because they were still in denial or was it they still inferior in faith or just another tactic not to take the responsibility? *The dialogue V67-71. *They changed Allahs Word. V.75...A party of them used to hear the word of Allah then they used to change it knowingly after they understood it' *Among them were some who never found the desire to learn the truth. 'Among them unlettered people who know not the Book but they trust upon false desires and they but guess' Learnt that acquiring knowledge is the key. nO EXCUSE is accepted we got to learn our religion *They violated Allahs laws. Told not to kill brpthers, not turn them out of their houses...They bought the life of this world at the price of the hereafter. They were termed the most greediest of all humans living.They love to live for a thousand years. . V-84-86 94-96 *They followed magic. V.102-103Learnt it from Harut and Marut who said'We r only for trial, so disbslieve not and they learnt how to separate man n his wife.... *Beleived they will enter paradise V-111'None shall enter paradise unless he be a Jew or chrisitan' Though as Muslims we know its our AMAL which will be weighed. *Practised shirk- Claimed that Allah has begotten a son V116. I beleive there is more to learn about them but the primary thing is they will never be pleased with Muslims till we follow their religion.V1:120)It is us to perfect ourselves. . A hadith of the prophet SAW says' None of you truly beleives until his inclination is in accordance with what I have brought' Wabillah Tawfiq. Ps have invited ppl still waiting for a promise.

Jazakkallah kheir this article really touched me. Cant beleive im crying. Thanks again

Heres my two cents As she has already had two c/s according to the medical practise if a third one is done automatically a tube ligation is performed. No discussion end of the story. She is denied her right of having more children. C/s is being exploited by the medical profession. I would advice all women my fellow sisters go for the natural way if there is no complication. There are alot of alternatives to give natural birth while still conscious. just from your lower back you dont feel the pain and will be able to have that first bonding with your newborn. Its safer and the body will get itself together if u do take care of your self and its been the way of Women since this world was created. Its for this reason women in Islam have been promised'Paradise is at the feet of the Mother.' And a child lost in labour prays for thier parents on the day of Judgement.'

When i was young i never saw the wisdom when our parents only allowed us to watch tv on weekends maximum 2hrs and usually copied childrens programs.NO TV ON SCHOOL DAYS.Was something we hated but we had story books to comfort us,which instaled in us the love of books. JazakAllah Kheir

Mabruuk alaik Rudy, May Allah make your marriage prosperous, healthy with alot of laughter , and provide you with a good progeny.

Asalaam aleykum Og_girl thanks for reminding us of the Unique status Allah has given us. Though unfortunately the majority of the females havent learnt to appreciate this noble position. JazakAllah kheir

Mojam, bro thanx the stories were very touching.Jazakallah kheir

. The cleanest kitchens, he said, were in the homes of bachelors, who never wiped up and just put their dirty dishes in the sink.'' That's right: You so-called ''good housekeepers'' with your so-called ''cleaning'' are in fact smearing bacteria around, while we so-called ''slobs'' are, by courageous inaction, making the world's kitchens safer for everybody. There's no need to thank us. All we ask is a little respect. Also, while you're sniffing those leftovers, please grab us a beer. [/QB] Found the article hilarous. Wondering though with the idea of not wiping up,Wouldnt there be a layer of dust piling up in the kitchen??? beleive the possibility of sneezing increases , right :confused:

Geel jire Ive known of the author been reading some of his work. I havent seen the video yet. Inshallah plan to do so. Thanks for the info. JazakalLah kheir

Well the qn is what should be done?. I heard of a hadith dont know of its authenticity that the Prophet SAW used to fast on the day he was born.If it is true then he (SAW) did it is an act of worship and gratefullness to His lord.SWT. May sound strange but i also do that, as to thank Allah for keeping me alive, healthy and a Muslim.

Around the world, friends and relatives hold birthday parties, give gifts to the one being honored, and wish "Happy birthday!" to the one whose birthday is being celebrated. But why? Where did this universal custom originate? The World Book -- Childcraft International says regarding "Holidays and Birthdays," "For thousands of years people all over the world have thought of a birthday as a very special day. Long ago, people believed that on a birthday a person could be helped by good spirits, or hurt by evil spirits. So, when a person had a birthday, friends and relatives gathered to protect him or her. And that's how birthday parties began." "The idea of putting candles on birthday cakes goes back to ancient Greece. The Greeks worshipped many gods and goddesses. Among them was one called Artemis." "Artemis was the goddess of the moon. The Greeks celebrated her birthday once each month by bringing special cakes to her temple. The cakes were round like a full moon. And, because the moon glows with light, the cakes were decorated with lighted candles." The Greeks believed that everyone had a protective spirit or daemon who attended his birth and watched over him in life. This spirit had a mystic relation with the god on whose birthday the individual was born. The Romans also subscribed to this idea. This notion was carried down in human belief and is reflected in the guardian angel, the fairy godmother and the patron saint. Birthday candles, in folk belief, are endowed with special magic for granting wishes. Lighted tapers and sacrificial fires have had a special mystic significance ever since man first set up altars to his gods. The birthday candles are thus an honor and tribute to the birthday child and bring good fortune. This authority goes on: "More and more, though, people the world over attach a certain magic to their actual date of birth...We may wear a ring with our birthstone in it for good luck. And when we blow out the candles on our birthday cake, we are careful to keep what we wished a secret. If we tell, of course, our wish won't come true." "In other words, Many times one follows - THE OLD BIRTHDAY BELIEFS. One pays attention to the meanings of old-time birth symbols and indulges in OLD CELEBRATIONS. One does not take them seriously - mainly for fun. Why do people say, "Happy birthday!" to each other? Says this authority, "For the good wishes of our friends and relatives are supposed to protect us from evil spirits." Egyptians observed birthdays, but only for their rulers. They held parades, circuses, gladiatorial contests, and sumptuous feasts! The Romans staged parades and chariot races to celebrate birthdays; some of which were created for their gods. Mere mortals were not honored or even remembered on the day of their birth. The birthday cake is only 200 years old! Cakes made from sweetened bread dough and coated with sugar, were the first birthday cakes and they originated in Germany. It has been said that if the cake falls while baking, it is a sign of bad luck in the coming year. Coins, buttons, and rings were baked into cakes. The guest who receiving the slice with the coin was guaranteed riches in the future, the ring signified marriage. In ancient times, people prayed over the flames of an open fire. They believed that the smoke carried their thoughts up to the gods. Today, the belief is, that if you blow out all your candles in one breath, your wish will come true. All these customs and traditions connected with the observance of birthdays have to do with guessing the future, good wishes for the future, good luck charms against evil spirits, and the like. All the birthday rituals, games, and ceremonies are a form of well-wishing toward the birthday child, which are supposed to work their magic in the year ahead. But, as we have seen, the custom is totally PAGAN! The tradition of birthday parties started in Europe a long time ago. It was feared that evil spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays. To protect them from harm, friends and family would to come to be with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes. Gifts brought even more good cheer to ward off the evil spirits. This is how birthday parties began. At first it was only kings who were recognized as important enough to have a birthday celebration (maybe this is how the tradition of birthday crowns began?). As time went by, children became included in birthday celebrations. The first children's birthday parties occurred in Germany and were called Kinderfeste. Should a Muslim have anything to do with ceremonies that trace back to pagan times, and pagan rituals? Should a true Muslim indulge himself or his or her children in pagan birthday parties, just because they seem so attractive, fun, and "innocent"? These birthday celebrations, therefore originated from pagan belief. These also involve imitation of the Jews and Christians in their birthday celebrations. Warning us against following their ways and traditions, The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said : “You would follow the ways of those who came before you step by step, to such an extent that if they were to enter a lizard’s hole, you would enter it too.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, (do you mean) the Jews and Christians?” He said, “Who else?” (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” (Abu Dawood) In the Sunnah: Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came (to Madinah) and they had two days in which they would (relax and) play. He said, What are these two days? They said, We used to play (on these two days) during the Jahiliyyah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah has given you something better instead of them: Yawm ul-Duha (Eid al-Adha) and Yawm ul-Fitr (Eid al-Fitr). (Reported by Abu Dawood). This indicates clearly that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) definitely forbade his ummah to celebrate the festivals of the kuffaar, and he strove to wipe them out by all possible means. The fact that the religion of the People of the Book is accepted does not mean that their festivals are approved of or should be preserved by the ummah, just as the rest of their kufr and sins are not approved of. Indeed, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to great lengths to command his ummah to be different from them in many issues that are mubaah (permitted) and in many ways of worship. This being different was to be a barrier in all aspects, because the more different you are, the less likely you are to do the acts of those who go astray. The hadith “Every people has its festival, and this is our festival” implies exclusivity, that every people has its own festival, as Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “For every nation there is a direction to which they face (in their prayers) (al-Baqarah 2:148) and to each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way” (al-Maaidah 5:48). This implies that each nation has its own ways. The laam in li-kulli (for every, to each) implies exclusivity. So if the Jews have a festival and the Christians have a festival, it is just for them, and we should not have any part in it, just as we do not share their qiblah (direction of prayer) or their laws.

Price of Imaan Several years ago an imaam moved to London. He often took the bus from his home to the downtown area. Some weeks after he arrived, he had occasion to ride the same bus. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him twenty pence too much change.As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, you better give the twenty pence back. It would be wrong to keep it. Then he thought, oh forget it, it's only twenty pence. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company already gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a gift from Almighty Allah and keep quite. When his stop came, the Imaam paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the twenty pence back to the driver and said " Here, you gave me too much change." The driver with a smile replied " Aren't you the new Imaam in this area? I have been thinking lately about going to worship at your mosque. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change." When the Imaam stepped off the bus, his knees became weak and soft. He had to grab the nearest light pole and held for support, and looked up to the heavens and cried "Oh Allah, I almost sold Islam for twenty pence!" Remember, we may never see the impact our actions have on people. Sometimes we are the only knowledge of Quran someone will read, or the only Islam a non-Muslim will see. What we need to provide, Insha Allah is an example for others to see. Be careful and be honest everyday, because you never know who is watching your actions and judging you as a Muslim.

IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF JUM'AH ( FRIDAY ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every Muslim should prepare fo Jum'ah from Thursday. After Asr on Thursday one should increasingly read Istighfaar etc. That person shall obtain the most benefit of Jum'ah who awaits it and prepares for it from Thursday. Rasulallah ( S.A.W. ) has said : " The best day of the week that the sun rises on, is the day of Jum'ah." The night of Jum'ah ( the night between Thursday and Friday ) is more blessed and the day of Jum'ah is most blessed. Friday is the best among all days. Friday is an Eid for this Ummah. Adam ( R.A. ) was created on Friday, He was granted entrance into Jannah on Friday, He was descend into Earth on Friday, He died on Friday, Qiyaamah will also take place on Friday. Amongs the seven days of the week, Friday is the day when Allah's special mercies are granted. It is a day of gathering for the Muslims and rewards are increased. Many great events took place on this day, and yet take place. Hazrat Abu Saeed khadri ( R.A. ) says that the Rasulallah ( S.A.W. ) has said that : " Whoever recite Suratul-Kahf on Friday (the night between Thursday and Friday) enjoys the illumination between two Fridays." ( Nasai ) Hazrat Abdullah Bin Umar ( R.A. ) says that the Rasulallah ( S.A.W. ) has said that: " Whoever recites Suratul-Kahf on Friday, will enjoy a light shining from his feet to the heaven and will have his sins forgiven committed between the two Fridays." ( Ibn Marduya ). It is reported from Hazrat Abu Huraira ( R.A. ) that Rasulallah ( S.A.W. ) has said that : " Whoever recites Suratul-Ham-Mim Dukhan on Friday, ( the night between Thursday and Friday ) enjoys the prayer of 70,000 angels for his forgiveness and gets all sins forgiven." ( Tirmizi ). Hazrat Abdulla Bin Abbas ( R.A. ) says that Rasulallah ( S.A.W. ) has said That : " Whoever recites Suratul-Aale Imran on Friday, angels enjoy the divine shower of salutation on him till sunset." ( Tibrani ). Al Isbahaani reports from Ibn Abbas ( R.A. ) that Rasulallah ( S.A.W. ) said : " The one who performs 2 raka'at after Maghrib on Friday night ( the night between Thursday and Friday ) and reads in every rakaat once Suratul-Al Fatiha and Suratul Zilzaal ( Iza zul zilatil Ardhu ) 15 times, Allah will ease for him the Sakaraat of Death ( the moment of death ) and will save him from the punishment of the grave and make easy for him the crossing of the Siraat. Hazrat Abu Amama ( R.A. ) says that the Rasulallah ( S.A.W. ) has said that : " The bath of Friday, pull out every sin of the man from its root. ( Tibrani ) Hazrat Abu Huraira ( R.A. ) says that the Rasulallah ( S.A.W. ) has said that : " whoever goes out for Friday prayer after making proper ablution and listen to the sermon quietly sitting, get all his sins forgiven not only from one Friday to the next, but also the sins of three days more." ( Muslim ) Hazrat Abdullah Bin Masud ( R.A. ) reports that Rasulallah ( S.A.W. ) had said : " The order of sitting before Allah will be just as order of attendance on Friday. Whoever comes first in mosque on Friday will have his seat nearest to Allah, the second one will have the second seat and third one will have the third seat and fourth one will also not be very far from Allah." ( Ibn Maaja ) After the Jum'ah Salaat read as follows : Suratul-Fatiha 7 times, Suratul-Iklaas 7 times, Suratul-Falaq 7 times, Suratul-Naas 7 times. Allah will protect the reciter from evil until the next Jum'ah. SPREADING RELIGIOUS TEACHING IS DUTY OF EVERYONE OF US, SO SPREAD TO OTHERS THIS MAIL AND EARN THE VIRTUES OF FULFILLING THIS NOBLE DUTY. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ''When the Qur'an is read, listen to it with attention, and hold your peace: that ye may receive Mercy." Qur'an 7:204
