I wish to thank all who came to visit my page. please stay take off your shoes and make yourself at home. My name is Saladin, my door is always open to new friends.Ever Wonder Why?
Why a Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith But when Muslim males do the same, he is an extremist and terrorist? Why a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God. But when Muslimah do the same and quote; She is oppressed and quote; When a western women stays home to look after her home and kids she is respected because of sacrificing herself and doing good for the house hold. But when Muslimah does so by her own will,they say and quote she needs to be liberated and quote; Any girl can go to university wearing what she will and have her righs and freedom. But when Muslimah wear a Hijab they prevent her from entering her university. When a Christian or a Jew kills someone religion is not mentioned. But when Muslims are charged with a crimes, it is Islam that goes to trial.When some sacrifices himself to keep other alive , he is noble and all respect. But when a Palestinan, an others, does that to save his son from being killed ,his brothers arm being broken his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated--He gets the title of a terrorist! WHY? Because he a Muslim.
When there is a trouble we accept any solution? if the solution lies in Islam, we refuse to take a look at it (we as in hypothetically).When some one drives a perfect car in a bad way no one blames the car. But when any Muslim makes a mistake or treats ppl in a bad manner--ppl say and quote; Islam is the reason and quote!; Without looking to the tradition of Islam,ppl believe what the newpapers say.

No one is to sell them to you or to advertise them on TV. You have to take the initiative yourself and try to acquire them by accepting Islam first and then by practicing its teachings. You should be honest with yourself, sincere, and truthful to the Creator. You should try wholeheartedly to practice what you believe, regardless of whether someone else is good or not While seeking happiness is a must, it should not be measured with other people's standards or with material gains. Happiness is from its potential to its kinetic forms. People around you should feel your happiness as well as benefit from you.Are you ready to accept this challenge today? Remember, tomorrow may not come, and it will be too late?By: Ahmad H. Sakr, Ph.D
Source: www.islamdoor.comThe Muslim Woman is very strong in Islam, the Muslim Woman hold a strong foundation in rising and teaching Islam to the Children.Sisterhood in IslamAs Muslims sisters strive to gain knowledge about their religion and endeavor to increase their Iman, there is one issue of importance that often seems to be neglected. This is the issue of Sisterhood in Islam. Sisters may greet each other, spend time socializing, give gifts during happy occasions, cook for those who have a new baby, etc., but this is only the surface level of Sisterhood. To understand what this special relationship really means we must go much deeper than that. We need to go to the level of the heart from which the bonds of Sisterhood emanate. This relationship is very special because it involves a unique type of love; one that cannot be experienced in any other social connection. It is a feeling that is particularly extraordinary for those of us who are revert/converts to Islam.The Muslim WomanWhile a woman has been granted the right to leave her home for her needs, (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 318), Rasool Allah told us that the best place for us is at home. There, we are free from fitnah and harassment. Look to the women of the West, the capital of women workers. They are constantly complaining that they are underpaid, overworked, they have the home duties still as well as the duties and demands of their jobs. They are over-worked and over stressed. Their families have suffered as they have. Too many of their children are promiscuous, addicted and morally bankrupt. They have so little respect for each other that many of the parents end up in nursing homes the minute they get old. Those who don`t, end up fending for themselves late into their elderly years, years that should be spent enjoying the fruits of their labor, children who love, honor and respect them while caring for their every need. This is Islam. We raise our children with the values of wanting to take care of us later. My teacher once told a lady who came to him for advice that she needs to instill better values in her kids, that they should help her now that they are older. He said, if we are raising children with no sense of responsibility, it is better to raise sheep, at least you can benefit from their meat.Our children are our responsibility. Our husbands are our leaders as well as our partners. Our parents are our trust. We can not neglect any of these duties in the search for fulfillment. If we follow our fitrah (basic nature) we will find fulfillment in these tasks. The woman can work. The woman can be a doctor or lawyer or engineer. She has the mental capacity to do so and the physical abilities. However, she is better suited to be a mother, a wife, a daughter. She does not have to go out and sell her services, and if necessity does not force her to, she shouldn`t.Narrated `Abdullah: Allah`s Apostle said, "Everyone of you is a guardian and is responsible for his charges. The ruler who has authority over people, is a guardian and is responsible for them, a man is a guardian of his family and is responsible for them; a woman is a guardian of her husband`s house and children and is responsible for them; a slave (`Abu) is a guardian of his master`s property and is responsible for it; so all of you are guardians and are responsible for your charges." Volume 3, Book 46, Number 730.My Body is My Own BusinessAbayah is somewhat like the Jalbaab. It covers the body from head to toe with one piece of material.Burqah is usually made from black light weight, sometimes sheer, material that has two layers. This gives Muslim women the ability to expose her eyes if she needs to or to completely cover them when necessary.Hijab is the large scarf that Muslim women use to cover their hair, forehead, ears, neck, and chest.Jalbaab is the obligatory cloak that covers a Muslim woman`s under attire. The jalaab is a commandment from Allah (SWT) as stated in the Quran:"O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!" (Al-Ahzab 33:59)Khimar is the scarf that looks like a cape. These large scarves drape down past the shoulders almost to the waist.Niqab is a light weight veil that has elastic, a tie, velcro or a snap to fasten behind the head. They cover the face from the top of the nose to down past the neck line while leaving the eyes exposed.Surah An-Nur, Verses #30 and #31
?And Say to the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, head cover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)Women in IslamA woman is to be treated as God has endowed her, with rights, such as to be treated as an individual, with the right to own and dispose of her own property and earnings, enter into contracts, even after marriage. She has the right to be educated and to work outside the home if she so chooses. She has the right to inherit from her father, mother, and husband. A very interesting point to note is that in Islam, unlike any other religion, a woman can be an imam, a leader of communal prayer, for a group of women.A Muslim woman also has obligations. All the laws and regulations pertaining to prayer, fasting, charity, pilgrimage, doing good deeds, etc., apply to women, albeit with minor differences having mainly to do with female physiology.At a timewhen the rest of the world, from Greece and Rome to India and China, considered women as no better than children or even slaves, with no rights whatsoever, Islam acknowledged women`s equality with men in a great many respects. The Qur`anstates:"And among His signs is this: that He created mates for you form yourselvesthat you may find rest, peace of mind in them, and He ordained between you love and mercy. Lo, herein indeed are signs for people who reflect." [30:21]Prophet Muhammad said:
"The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best in manners and kindest to his wife." [Abu Dawud].The Wife in IslamMarriage in Islam is based on mutual peace, love and compassion, and not the mere satisfying of human sexual desire.And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts); verily in that are signs for those who reflect. (Qur`an 30:21)( He is) the Creator of the heavens and the earth: He has made for you pairs from among yourselves and pairs among cattle: by this means does He multiply you: there is nothing whatever like unto Him and He is the One that hears and sees (all things). (Qur`an 42:11)MARRIAGE AND DIVORCEThe female has the right to accept or reject marriage proposals. Her consent is a prerequisite to the validity of the marital contract, according to the Prophet`s teaching. It follows that if an "arranged marriage" means the marrying of a female without her consent, then such a marriage may be annulled if the female so wishes:Ibn Abbas reported that a girl came to the Messenger of Allah, and she reported that her father had forced her to marry without her consent. The Messenger of God gave her the choice...(between accepting the marriage or invalidating it) (Ahmad, Hadith no. 2469). another version of the report states that "the girl said: `Actually, I accept this marriage, but I wanted to let women know that parents have no right to force a husband onthem.`" (Ibn-Majah)WHO AM I ?I am not just a pretty face
I am more than that.
Look at what I do
what I say and how I act.This hijab I wear that conceals my beauty.
Is a command from Allah
I feel it is my duty.To cover my self and lower my gaze
to present Islam and people amaze
To be known for character
And my will to succeed
not only in this world but the one to proceed.I am a muslimah.
Its what i was destined to be.
