..:: Mount Uhud ::..

Narrated Sayyiduna Anas Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu: Allah’s Apostle SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam ascended the (mountain) of Uhud with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, Sayyiduna Umar al-Farooq and Sayyiduna ‘Uthman al-Ghani Radi Allahu Anhum Ajma'een and it shook. Allah’s Apostle said, “Be calm, O Uhud!” He stroked it with his foot and added, “There is none on you but a Prophet, a Siddiq and two martyrs.”

The Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam was traveling once: “and when Uhud was w

In part 1, we looked at Hussain's upbringing and how shortly after the demise of his grandfather Muhammad, there was political turmoil and society was taking a turn for the worse. 
 

In the second part of the information pack we will delve into the circumstances that led to Hussain rising up...


A divided nation

Hussain's father Ali ibn Abu Talib, had legitimate claims to leadership, both in terms of endorsement by Muhammad as well as by popular support. But he feared that by pursuing his right, he

Hi,

Yesterday,  I read & watched Steve Jobs's speeches with a huge admiration.

(one more time watched it since my last review last year )

He was asking " What is truly important ? "

it made an impression on me and of course his story touched me like other people.

This speech, was looking for some answers, had been made one year ago after a cancer diagnosis.

Actually, this very emotional speech gave me a good lesson. Everytime I believe that there should be a balance between heart and mind so this less

Hussain ibn Ali was born in 626 AD into the household of Muhammad, the final Prophet of Islam. He was the son of Prophet Muhammad's daughter Fatima, who was married to Ali ibn Abu Talib and grew up during an era of great political turmoil. 


Hussain's parents were both highly respected amongst the people for their wisdom, piety and compassion; and Ali was exceptionally known across Arabia for his bravery, integrity and leadership.

He was only 8 when his grandfather Muhammad passed away, and his

If you would be isolated in an island with 3 EC members, Who would these 3 members be? Why them?

My answer:

The first one would be Mr. Josef. As we know, he is a VIP, the founder of EC, the most famous website for learners of English, so when he is absent in his work, English learners from all over the world try their best to find him, soon they learn that he isn't in any country and must be in an island, after they find him, I can be rescued from that island, too. :D

The second person would be Set

My problem is I can't stand my friend

One of the biggest challenges that we face in life is how we're dealing with people because if you use the wrong way of dealing with people  maybe you will suffer from that or lose a friendship or relationship with someone.
I'm such a sensitive person and always try to make people around me comfortable even if I'm not. When i was studying i had a friend who was an amazing person in many ways but she was selfish and so cold . I spent hard times with her I didn't want to lose her but at the same ti

Mistakes

Once upon a time, i hated mistakes.Mistakes were the one of my curse which led me to failure as a very careless boy. Mistakes invaded me followed by failure.which made me a clumsy boy who only wished to sleep on the couch and watch TV. I am very happy that i made those mistakes and failure. That time i made more mistakes than an adolescent could have. After some while i learned from those mistakes. Which was one of my greatest blessing. That blessing with those mistakes showered me with values.

Wise sayings..............

Hear the instructions of thy Farther,

and forsake not the law of thy mother.

For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head,

and chains about thy neck.

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,

but he who hates reproof is stupid.

A soft answer turns away wrath,

but a harsh word stirs up anger.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,

but the mouths of fools pour out folly.

A scoffer does not like to be reproved;

he will not go to the wise.

The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,

but t

Dream Wanderer

Chapter one : Morning Sleep 

 

When people are busy chasing their dreams, I am busy escaping mine. Take it literally, please. It is a common thing to have a dream while sleeping, the uncommon one is getting trapped in it.

It was a morning in Ramadhan, I decided to get back sleep after pray fajr. I turned off all the lamp except the dim one near the door, the light was dark yellow, a bit like orange, but darker. Officially, my room had no door, just a rectangle hole with a curtain over it.

I was tota

Evil prevails

Do we believe in this saying? I think even if we don't believe it, we almost apply it in different aspects of our lives. This is completely unfair and it makes us put very different things in the same group. As a result, we prevent ourselves from observing and feeling the positive sides or the bright sides of many things.There are many examples of this wrongful classification. We sometimes hear about a horrible crime in some country, so we simply deal with all people from that country as crimina
