Narrated Usman ibn Affan, r.a. "I heard the messenger of
Allah, pbuh, saying that standing on guard in the way of
Allah is superior to a thousand late night prayers and extra
fasting."

Hidden U.S. History
100th Anniversary of SIlent March
by Sis. Aisha
[Jamaat al-Muslimeen]
On July, 28, 1917, over 10,000 people of African-descent
participated in a silent march beginning on 57th street and
5th Avenue in New York City. It consisted mostly of people
from the Harlem area and it was in response to the 1917 East
St. Louis Riots that occurred in May and July. It is
estimated that up to 200 Black people were killed while law
enforcement made absolutely no effort to quell the violence
against these defenseless victims.
Many of these massacres were the result of cheap Black
laborers taking the jobs of Whites. Oftentimes, there were
labor disputes between striking White workers and their
bosses while Blacks were brought in as replacements
(Scabs).
Marcus Garvey, who created the Pan-African Back to Africa
Movement, was incensed and encouraged Blacks to raise their
voice against these attacks: "This is no time for fine
words, but a time to lift one's voice against the savagery
of a people who claim to be the dispensers of democracy."
Garvey's Back to Africa Movement was countered with the
creation of the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP), an organization focused on
assimilating Blacks, not empowering them. The organization
had only two Black people (W.E.B. Du Bois & Ida B. Wells)
out of the 57 people who founded it.
Anytime in history when there has been a strong leader
encouraging the oppressed to empower themselves, rather than
beseech legislators to create yet, another series of laws to
validate and protect them, the oppressor counters that move.
Of course, J. Edgar Hoover, said to be a gay man of
African-descent, was another government tool used to destroy
Marcus Garvey and his Pan-African Movement.
Black Americans, unlike their Caribbean and African
counterparts, have emotionally abandoned their communities
and continue attempt to assimilate into White society and
seek relief from the government. However, the younger
generation seems to understand the importance of networking
within the community and helping empower each other,
especially in the entertainment industry. Now, we need to
expand this to the news media and other businesses.

Black Female Judge's Death Ruled A Suicide
Judge Sheila Abdus-Salaam's body was found in the Hudson
River, in late April 2017. Her death was ruled a suicide and
the police closed her case by May 3rd. Her husband, Rev.
Canon Gregory Jacobs, believes that the ruling is based on
unsubstantiated evidence. He said, "Those of us who loved
(the judge) and knew her well do not believe that these
unfounded conclusions have any basis in reality."
It has been reported that she was depressed and had been on
new depression medication a few weeks before her death. But,
so many, who have been following her case, find her death
suspicious and now, the NYPD has backtracked and ruled her
death suspicious. It is believed that the police closed the
case rather quickly.
Judge Abdus-Salaam was the first Black woman appointed to
New York State's highest court and had a reputation for
being tough on corruption and police criminality. According
to initial police and autopsy reports, she did not have any
marks or bruises on her body hence, the ruling of suicide.
Black woman do get depressed and medications fighting
depression, ironically, can create suicidal thoughts. For
now, only Allah knows if Judge Abdus-Salaam took her own
life or if someone else did.
Insha'allah, we will find out exactly what happened and her
family can get closure and, if necessary, justice.

Jamaat al-Muslimeen literature given to 100 Muslims in Midtown Mosque
Highlighting the Oppression of Muslims in Cameroon [West
Africa]+ Heavy Fighting in Muslim World+Turkey
On July 28, a multi-colored 4-page document was given to 100
Muslims at Masjid al-Haqq in Baltimore after juma'. Most of
the people were African Americans with a few Pakistanis and
Arabs.
Here is an outline of the 4 pages:
Amnesty documents torture of Muslims in Cameroon and US
military helping regime suppress Boko Haram.
Fethullah Gulen has been subverting Turkey for years+
Turkey uncovers US bases in Syria.
Heavy fighting in Iraq [week 40], Syria, Egypt [Sinai]

Turkey and Palestine. Widespread Rallies for al-Aqsa
by Prof. S. Kurter,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Muslim Turks demonstrated in front of synagogues and Jewish
centers in every major city in Turkey. The big
demonstrations have worried the Turkish Government. In the
meantime, Turkey is urging all Muslim countries to unite and
develop a unified stand against Israeliaggression.
It shows the intention of Israel to not make peace, and any
chance of grabbing land is being implemented by Israel.
Israel tries to control the third holy site of Islam,
Insha'Allah this attempted seizure will be defeated by
Muslims. The Turkish Prime Minister, Binali Yildirim, said
that "Masjid Al - Aqsa is our honor."
The Turkish Government is defending Islam; it is very odd
that in spite of this the Gulen Group (FETO) is working
against the Turkish government and Islam. It is collecting
money and sending to Israel. Several Palestinian "Islamic"
organizations are praising Gulen activities. Another
organization in the area are saying they are following the
correct path, but they aresupporting Gulen's place located
on College Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
This reminds me of Sultan Abdulhamid's story. The Sultan
refused to sell any land in Palestine to Theodor Herzl and
Zionists in the late 19th century, yet some Arab leaders at
that time welcomed the Zionists as "cousins" and then
claimed that the Sultan sold Palestine This is one of the
main reasons we lost Palestine. Today, we are seeing how
history is repeating itself. Do not be surprised if we lose
Al-Aqsa Mosque and the remaining areas of Palestine. As long
as we ignore the warning signs of disunity or Muslims
continue to betray their values for money, we will see more
of Allah's calamity on us.

the Megumeri area, north east of Maiduguri. The team was
heavily guarded but the Boko Haram attack was very sudden.
18 Nigerian soldiers, 15 armed militia, 4 academics and 13
civilians connected with the NNPC team were killed.
Another report, much older coming out of a rural area in
Kaduna, depicts fighting and killing between Christian

Editorial: Aleppo and Mosul vs. Nuremburg and Aachen
The Destruction of Entire German Cities in World War II
projected the idea of Mass Terrorism. Holocaust of Civilians
was meant to turn People against their rulers and lead to
the collapse of Armed Resistance. It Failed
by Kaukab Siddique, PhD
David Irving wrote an entire book documenting the
incineration of the south German city of Dresden. It was a
holocaust
What is not known is that ALL German cities were similarly
destroyed, especially after the German air force became
ineffective.
Why do the western powers try to destroy civilian
populations?
Eastern Aleppo in Syria was destroyed in 2016. Mosul in Iraq
was destroyed in 2017.
The Islamic defenders of Aleppo successfully resisted years
of assault by the Shiite-Alawite regime in Damascus. The
Lebanese Hizbullah and Iranian Revolutionary Guards joined
Damascus regime's forces and assaulted Aleppo repeatedly.
The Islamic resistance grouped in FSA volunteer forces
fought back successfully. In fact the resistance, helped by
al-Nusra from outside Aleppo, launched successful
counterattacks which drove Assad's allies way back from
Aleppo.
In the third segment of the assault on Aleppo, the Russian
air force joined Assad's regime and started the systematic
destruction of East Aleppo block by block, street by street.
Eastern Aleppo became a pile of rubble. Thousands of
civilians were buried in the rubble.
This was the Russian resuscitation of the World War II
doctrine of assault on civilian populations.
A similar process occurred in Mosul, Iraq. The Islamic
Caliphate established in Mosul was militarily able to resist
the Shia armies supported by the American air force. When
the Baghdad regime attacked East Mosul, conventional battles
went on for months. The regime won but paid a heavy price.
UN figures showed 2,000 Shia troops killed. The regime
protested to the UN and stopped announcing casualty
figures.
The attack on West Mosul was much more difficult. A large
civilian population was supporting the Islamic State. A
determined force of hard core mujahideen, about 1600, were
intent on fighting back.
Here the Americans and Shia Iraqi forces followed the World
War II doctrine of terrorism aimed at the entire population.
There was a steady stream of regime propaganda claiming that
the fighters were hiding behind the civilians. [Almost a
duplicate of the Israeli propaganda during Israel's bombing
of Gaza and, before that, Lebanon.]
No one had invited the Shia military to "liberate" Mosul.
Now it has come out that heavy artillery and tank fire was
aimed by the Shia military at the general population of
Mosul. The American air force, with its coalition of French,
Australian, Belgian and Canadian air forces, became the air
force of the regime. The AIR WARS group has counted 5118
civilians killed in the air attacks with another 2000 feared
lying dead in the rubble. However, with the Shia regime's
general use of heavy artillery and Apache helicopter attacks
on Mosul, the civilian death toll has spiraled into
genocide. The British paper, The Independent, and now other
sources too, are estimating the civilian death toll at
40,000 and about 900, 000 made homeless. The regime itself
says that if there were an IS sniper on a roof top, a US air
strike would be called in, destroying the house and
everything around the house: 500 pound bombs were used.
This destruction of entire cities, block by block, house by
house, has its genesis in the destruction of German cities
in World War II.
Symbols of German culture were destroyed by the British and
US air forces. Historic sites, churches, schools, theatres
were bombed again and again till they were wiped out.
In Syria, we see mosques and seminaries being bombed.
Thousands of mosques have been damaged or completely
demolished.
In Mosul, the air strikes not only destroyed the historic
El-Nuri mosque but the US and the Shias claimed it was
destroyed by the Islamic State itself! It was the rallying
point of the Islamic resistance and the IS flag had been
flying from the top for a couple of years. The worldwide
Zionist media were used by the Shias to proclaim that the
Islamic State itself destroyed its most important mosque
from where the Caliphate had been proclaimed. Is it
surprising that the Shias and the US have not called for any
impartial inquiry.
The idea was TERRORIZE and HUMILIATE THE POPULATION and as a
result:
People will turn against their rulers.
Production of weapons and ammunition will cease or be cut
down drastically.
The fighters would surrender.
The unexpected happened both in Germany and now in Syria and
Iraq.
Here is an extract about the bombing of Nuremburg which was
the rallying point of Hitler's movement. The cultural
aspects of the city had to be destroyed to humiliate the
German people.
Nuremburg: " The U.S. Eighth Air Force appeared midday on
October 3, 1944 with 454 Flying Fortresses. They hit the
choir of St. Sebald's Church, the castle, the Durer House
and landed a direct hit on the Peller House behind it, which
had been among Germany's most beautiful patrician
residences. The bombs plowed through the
four-hundred-year-old St. Rochus Cemetery, slinging around
the sarcophagus-like sandstone monuments, uncovering the
resting bones. .... "
"Tucher Castle, the Hans Sachs, and Veit Stoss Houses, the
Holy Ghost, Saint Ageidius's and Mastersingers' churches,
the entire castle grounds, and a total of two thousand
medieval homes were crushed in a vandalistic fit of raving
madness.... which had all remained intact throughout much of
the war as they were militarily irrelevant.... were not
these cities the great symbols, demonstrating to the German
people their background?" [The Fire by Jorge Friedrich, page
277]
Here is an example of a city which fought back. Aachen, on
the border of west Germany. "The city was of no military
use, it had been radically destroyed by bombing raids on the
nights of April 11 and May 24, 1944. The former was the most
severe preinvasion raid, killing 1,525 residents including
212 children. Six hospitals were hit, making them needed all
the more. Eighty patients and eleven nurses were killed....
on May 24, when Bomber Command sent 442 planes that leveled
more than just the two train stations. In addition to the
15,000 left homeless and 207 dead, the raid destroyed
several villages....(including) the old district of
Aachen...with hot springs and the Imperial Abbey dating back
to the early middle ages...razed on April 12." [page
117]
"...the old town of Bonn died in a fire of eighty thousand
incendiary sticks, two hundred high-explosive bombs, and
fifty block busters... the Minster church of 1070...suffered
heavy damage... 486 civilians lost their lives." [page
127]
Neither Aachen nor Bonn had any military significance. But
after the bombing, the German people [mostly civilians]
fought back bitterly and held Aachen for a long time.
It's interesting to note that after Aleppo and Mosul, the
Islamic people are still fighting back.
Similarly the German people kept fighting even after their
cities were pulverized by the allied air forces.
Terrorizing the civilian populations does not lead to the surrender
of fighting forces if they are highly committed to their
cause.
None of the Germans turned against Hitler. None of the
civilians in Mosul turned on IS. In fact the women came out
to give their lives against the Shia assault.
The slaughter of civilians is not strategically helpful.
PAKISTAN
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Removed by Supreme Court on
Corruption Charges.
Jamaate Islami Extends its Campaign Against Corruption.
by Qaiser Sharif & Ameer al-Azeem
LAHORE, July 29; "Yaume Azam" was observed all over the
country on the appeal of the Ameer, Jamaat Islami, Pakistan,
Senator Sirajul Haq, indicating the nation's resolve to
continue its struggle against corruption till Pakistan
becomes corruption free.
Rallies in this respect were organized in the big cities
including Rawalpindi, Quetta, Karachi and Faisalabad. The JI
chief addressed the rally at Rawalpindi. Speaking on the
occasion, Sirajul Haq said it was a matter of shame that the
Prime Minister of Pakistan should be working as an employee
of a company in a small country. Such an act was tantamount
to putting the country's honour at stake only for a petty
gain, he added.
The JI chief said that one could only pity the wisdom of
those who considered the JIT investigations and the
unanimous judgment of the Supreme Court as unjust.
He said that in fact, Nawaz Sharif was facing Allah's wrath
for his failure to abolish interest despite his pledge in
this regard. Besides, he said, the blood of Shaheed Mumtaz
Qadri who was executed for the murder of former Punjab
Governor Salman Taseer for committing blasphemy could not
have gone waste.
He deplored that the Pakistanis could not become a nation
during the last seventy years as the rulers had divided the
people on the basis of communities and regions.
He said the rulers claimed to have put the country on the
path of progress. He said the ground situation was that
about half of the country's population could not get clean
drinking water. Each bed in the government hospitals in big
cities had three patients on the average. Educated youth
were roaming about in search of jobs but in vain.
He said the JI was striving for the Rule of Allah in the
country and for the supremacy of the law and the
constitution. He said the rulers were feeling sorry for not
abolishing articles 62 and 63 of the constitution and were
terming these as transgression. He however, warned that no
one would be allowed to abolish these articles. He said that
even in the western countries, a liar was not allowed to
contest elections.

IS-affiliates Holding Military at Bay.
July 23-30. The air force has destroyed most of the city in
its attempts to wipe out the small Islamic groups holding
the central commercial areas of Marawi.
The fighters are fierce and each time there is a clash, the
regime troops suffer and retreat.
Here is a description of the Islamic groups which have taken
over Marawi with Islamic State [IS] support. This appeared
on non-Muslim wire services:
The Marawi assault was planned and executed by a relatively
new group, Dawla Islamiya, better known as the Maute Group,
which wants recognition from Islamic State as its regional
affiliate.
Led by two brothers, the Maute Group want a "Wilayah", or
province of Islamic State, in Lanao del Sur province, where
it has engaged in fierce, days-long battles with the
military since 2016, each time suffering heavy losses before
regrouping months later.
.
The brothers, Abdullah and Omarkhayam Maute, have been
joined by Isnilon Hapilon, the anointed Southeast Asian
"Emir" of Islamic State and leader of a faction of another
Mindanao group, Abu Sayyaf.
The Marawi fighting has been much publicised across militant
networks and experts say it could attract more fighters to
the region.
.
"It has inspired young extremists from around the region to
want to join," the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict
said in a report on Friday, adding the fighting had "lifted
the prestige of the Philippine fighters in the eyes of ISIS
Central".

Bombing Campaign: July 24-July 30.
The Russian air force bombed ISIS in the desert east of Homs
resulting in more than a hundred IS fighters killed over the
week. IS withdrew most of its fighters from Al-Sukhnah, its
last city in Homs province [only a few fighters are waiting
in the city].
However when the Assad-Hizbullah Lebanese advanced towards
al-Sukhnah, they were ambushed by Islamic State fighters and
lost 139 killed [including 23 officers] [SOHR and Reuters
report.]
The Assad and Russian air force continued to bomb the
suburbs of Damascus where Jaysh al-Islam, Rahman Corp and IS
are holding on in three different areas. This bombing in
breach of truce called by Russia,.
The Russians are also bombing the countryside east of Hama
which is under IS control but here the Assad regime could
not advance.
The Russian bombing campaign has also led Lebanese
Hiszbullah, Iranian Guards and Alawite troops into IS's
Raqqa province from the west and south.
The US air force is bombing the IS capital of al-Raqqa. Any
IS movement, civilian or armed, in or out of Raqqa is
targeted by the US air force [along with French, Belgian and
British]
In the latest US bombing raid on IS capital of al-Raqqa, on
July 30, 21 civilians, including 8 children, were
killed.
Daily US bombing of al-Raqqa has helped the Kurdish
Communist forces, SDF, to enter al-Raqqa. Segments of
al-Raqqa are now in SDF hands although it is facing stiff
resistance.
[SOHR is documenting the death toll in al-Raqqa over the two
months siege in air strikes. It is running into hundreds of
civilians and scores of IS.]
The US and Russia are also continuing to bomb al-Mayadeed,
deep south in Islamic State territory. The targets are the
families of Islamic State fighters, women and children, who
had left al-Raqqa to escape the daily bombing there by the
US air force. The death toll is mounting.
On the Lebanese-Syrian border, known as western Qalamoun
mountains, Lebanese Hizbullah and Iranian Revolutionary
Guards are moving against three Islamic enclaves, held by
IS, al-Nusra and FSA. No significant success yet.
In north central Syria, FSA fighters supported by Turkey
have advanced in the Azaz-Afrin areas.
After the inter-Muslim battles in Idlib province, al-Nusra
is now in complete control of the province and the major
opposition group, Ahrar al-Sham, has withdrawn. In various
cities across Idlib province, there were demonstrations
against al-Nusra as it is seen as too strict.
Deir ez-Zor province [almost all of it] is in IS control
although Assad's forces under Russian air cover are
advancing towards it.
The US has decided to stop supporting several small groups
if they keep opposing Assad. They have been ordered to fight
IS.

July 27. "Kill everything or anyone that moves" were the
orders given to regime troops" say Baghdad military
officers. As a result, the military gunned down hundreds of
civilians in Mosul.
Another officer put it in these words: "We killed them all,
ISIS men, women and children. We killed everyone." [Middle
East Eye quoted by the Daily Mail.]
Another interesting disclosure is that 850 Canadian troops,
including 200 Canadian special forces, are in Mosul,
according to their commander. The Canadian troops are also
ready to go attack Tal Afar or whichever area the regime
attacks. [Toronto Star July 29]
Iraqi regime military is admitting that IS fighters are
still hiding in the rubble of West Mosul and are launching
daily attacks on the regime troops. Some of the fighters
have crossed over to eastern Mosul and are launching sniper
attacks on regime troops there.
A "Scroll.In" video has verified that this kind of fighting
is continuing in Mosul . [July 27.]
In Tal Afar, 60 miles south west of Mosul, Islamic State
[IS] fighters are bracing for a massive Shia military
assault. Hard core shia militias aligned to Iran have fire
fights with IS defenders every day.
The rule of Sharia is continuing in Tal Afar. Women are also
prepared to fight. A German woman convert to Islam, known as
Umm Hajar, is now the commander of the women's Khansa
Brigade in Tal Afar.
The US air force has killed 20 IS fighters who were trying
to link up with IS forces in Hawija. Any movement by IS
reinforcements attracts the attention of the US air force.
Three men crossing the Tigris to go to eastern Mosul were
killed by jet fighters.
Guerrilla fighters from IS attack regime troops and Shia
groups in Baghdad and in cities across Iraq, all the way to
Diyala.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Typical of Many Cities in America
by Felicia Livingstone [Writer and Editor]
For many years, Florida Blvd. has been considered the racial
dividing line in Baton Rouge. I drove through neighborhoods
surrounding Cortana Mall and beyond recently. Houses are
empty. Graffiti is becoming more noticeable. Businesses are
closing at a high rate. Properties are abandoned and
overtaken by weeds. Trash in abundance on the sides of roads
in certain places. As a child, this was an area of pride and
community togetherness.
By the Mall of Louisiana, there's constant new construction,
streets are well paved. Cameras at every traffic light.
Manicured lawns. Businesses can't open fast enough. It's
like two totally different cities. What the heck happened
and do you think it can be fixed?
A Central Aspect of American Culture: Stoop and scoop!
by Abida Rahmani
After spending few days in this part of the world, I
realized that dog is not a dog here. Dog is a buddy, a kid,
a girl or a boy , a very intimate and adorable person of the
family.
At first when I saw this sign while walking on a trail
"Stoop and Scoop, pick up after your pet", with the picture
of a dog, I wondered what it meant? The next day, while
walking on a trail, came across a couple with a kid in
stroller and waiting for the dog to get relieved from his
poop. The man was holding a plastic bag; he covered his hand
with the bag, quickly stooped, scooped the dog's poop and
put it securely in his jacket's pocket. What a civilized
nation! I was about to vomit my freshly eaten dinner. "Isn't
it a very dirty job?" I just could not keep silent. "Yeah,
he is just like our kid and we do this for our kid too."
Though it was just a wilderness around but he did not throw
it, rather he waited for the litter box.
It is a common phrase here two kids and a dog is a perfect
American family. Here when two people meet each other with
their dogs, both of them will first appreciate each other's
dog, its beauty, appearance, looks and then they will
describe about their family tree and ancestors. His father
was so and so and his mother was of such and such breed. In
a way dogs are far luckier than the human beings here,
keeping their family strings , traits and DNAs. Kissing,
hugging and luring dogs are a common practice.Dogs sleep
with you , sits with you on a couch or chair even take
shower with you. While walking on paths, you come across a
lot many dogs; some leashed some unleashed, big, small,
black, brown, white, tan, fat, thin and skinny. Crossing
through the path one day, noticing a very thin dog, I tried
to be courteous, "is this dog suffering from some disease?"
"No, it's a miniature of Alsatian and..........and to show
me its vitality, she pulled up the urinating dog. My
goodness, it was still dripping. Once when I felt like
running from an unleashed one, the owner at once reacted
"She is such a friendly girl; she is not going to harm you."
Though there are signs every where that say "put your dogs
on leash." But here they show more kindness to their dogs.
Once in a park surrounded by unleashed dogs, terrified!! The
owners explained, the dogs are frightened because of your
head gear. The point was to my scarf or hijab. I just
politely ignored that discriminatory remark. After that
incident I adopted a stern attitude. No more courtesy for
dogs and their owners. So now coming across a dog I switch
my way down and try to avoid it. It saves me in many ways,
"sorry I have a canine allergy."" Oh yeah you should be
careful then."
The poodles are very cuddly and cute but the big dogs are
real frightening. Instead of the all care and precaution
many dog mulling cases are reported too in media. Some times
they are life threatening. Most of the dogs live here inside
the homes, the poodles in cozy beds inside the bedrooms or
living rooms. Big dogs have real nice dog houses. In the
chilly, freezing temperatures all the dogs are kept inside,
even in small condos or apartments.
There are humane societies which take care of these animals.
They are better than humans with an E. There are Dog clubs,
Canine Societies, Kennels, dog shelters , dog rescuers and
many websites about dogs. Dogs are pretty expensive here;
the cheapest one would be about six to seven hundred dollars
and then to keep them is more expensive. At first there is a
license for keeping a dog, then it goes through all the
medical check ups, anti rabies vaccines regularly and lots
are paid to veterinarians. So being a vet here is a great
rewarding job.
You have to buy real nice ready to serve dried or other
food, dried bones and toys for them at Petsmartand other
stores.
Dogs trainers earnes a handsome amount for training and
discplining a dog with wild and unruely behavior. There are
so many TV program and a lot on the internet how to train
your pet?
For small dogs which are called Chihuahua, they hold them
inside their jackets in cold, zipping them up a little bit
peeping out.
Dogs here live in such a great luxury for which even lots of
people back home could not imagine. Every grocery store and
big stores have isles and shelves for dog's foods, toys,
clothing, shampoos, body wash, beddings and pillows. So much
research is done for making their food healthier &
tastier.
There are Pets day cares with catchy names, pet's parlors,
grooming centers, dogs' swimming pools, dog sitters like
baby sitters and dog walkers.
A friend of mine used to walk 10 dogs and earned a handsome
living.
I wish they could develop some proper toilet system for dogs
or some thing like cats. In heaps of heavy snow, rain and
freezing weather, dogs are taken out for walk and to get
them relieved. The most important task after work or before,
is to take the dog out for walk around and to get him or her
relieved . For population control their are some other
surgical methods applied.
A smelly stench comes from the inside of a dog owner's home,
which an outsider could obviously feel.
I can not forget herds of stray dogs roaming in our streets
in Pakistan and frequent cases of dog biting. When they
outnumbered then there was a dog killing spree from the
Municipality (kutta maar muhim). It is still a common
fashion there.
The bourgeois class in sub continent will name their dog
with an English name and talk to it in English. With dogs
many kids practiced their English skills.
A dog would really wonder what a status it has got in this
society?
The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his
tail instead of
his tongue.

How is it possible for us to gain 'Al-Khushoo' (Humility) in
and outside of the prayer and during recitation of the
'Quran' ?
by Sis. Yasmin
Allah {Aza Wa Jall}~ says... The Believers will prosper:
those who have 'Khushoo' within their prayers.
[Source~ 'Quran'~ Surat Al Mu'minoon 23: A # 1-2]
'Al-Khushoo' is the essence and core of the prayer..!
And it means the presence and attendance of the Heart!
And that the heart of the person who is praying does not
wander left and right.
However ...if the person senses something that will divert
him away from (this) Al-Khushoo' ~ then he must seek refuge
with Allah from the Outcast Shaytaan just as the
*Prophet*...[ sallahu 'Alayhi wasallam] instructed us to
do!
And there is no doubt that the 'Shaytaan' is extremely
assiduous upon spoiling all acts of worship especially the
'Salah' which is the most superior act of worship after the
two Testimonies.
Thus, the 'Shaytaan' comes to the 'Musalli' (Praying
individual) and says ...or whispers Remember this and
that... {!}
And he causes him to indulge in thoughts and ideas that are
of
no benefit and which leave his head soon as he concludes
from the prayer...{!}
Therefore it is upon a person that he strives with
the...utmost ambition to devote himself towards Allaah the
Mighty and Majestic {!} and if he feels anything from these
