Lyrics: Last Breath by Ahmed Bukhatir The following is the lyrics to the beautiful nasheed Last Breath, by the nasheed artist Brother Ahmed Bukhatir: ... See More LAST BREATH From those around I hear a Cry, A muffled sob, a Hopeless sigh, I hear their footsteps leaving slow, And then I know my soul must Fly! A chilly wind begins to blow, Within my soul, from Head to Toe, And then, Last Breath escapes my lips, It's Time to leave. And I must Go! So, it is True (But it's too Late) They said: Each soul has its Given Date, When it must leave its body's core, And meet with its Eternal Fate. Oh mark the words that I do say, Who knows? Tomorrow could be your Day, At last, it comes to Heaven or Hell Decide which now, Do NOT delay! Come on my brothers let us pray Decide which now, Do NOT delay! Oh God! Oh God! I cannot see! My eyes are Blind! Am I still Me Or has my soul been led astray, And forced to pay a Priceless Fee Alas to Dust...

The reality of life in this world. By Shaykh Abu Ammar Yasir al-Qadhi Many people mistakenly assume that true wealth and real treasure is that of money.  It is indeed true that wealth is a great blessing from God which He bestows upon His servants.  And the one who earns it purely, and spends it properly, and gives it to those that deserve it, without a doubt earns a great reward from God. But at the same time, wealth is not the greatest blessing that can be given to mankind.  Furthermore, no matter how much wealth a person has, eventually it will leave him, and pass on into the hands of others.  The Prophet, may God praise him, reminded us of this when he asked the Companions, “Who amongst you loves the money of his inheritors more than his own money?” They replied, “O Messenger of God!  There is no one of us except that he loves his own money more than he loves the money of his inheritors.”  So the Prophet replied...

How one can live a content life in this world. No matter how much money a person earns, in reality he only utilizes a very small fraction of it.  Ponder over the wise reminder from the Prophet, may God praise him.  Abdullah ibn al-Shakhir reported, “I entered upon the Prophet, may God praise him, and he was reciting ‘Alhakum al-takathur’: “Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you.” (Quran 102:1) He said, ‘The son of Adam would say: ‘My money!  My money!’ But do you have, O son of Adam, anything of your money, except that which you ate, and it was put to waste, or that which you wore, till it wore out, or that which you gave in charity, so you have sent it forth (to get its rewards in the Hereafter)?’” ( Saheeh Muslim ) In this hadith, the Prophet reminded us that, in reality, all of our money is utilized in only three ways.  Firstly, the food that we eat, and this eventually is transformed into waste.  Secondly,...

Majority of Women in Hell fire! O’ my beloved sisters in Islam; do not occupy yourself with worldy desires such as following the daily trends of fashion,watching Bollywood movies, singing and dancing to tunes which contain statements that are forbidden in Islam, do not freely mix yourself amongst men (Muslim/non-Muslim), do not leave your homes dressed to impress the evil within society, do not pose with high heels, do not display yourself openly while you are covered, do not draw attention by actting foolishly in the streets, protect yourself from the evil within you, the cursed Shaytaan, and the evil that you drag with you. Wake up! and realize you are not promised tomorrow. Repent to your Lord, the Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. Ask for guidance, patience, and strength.

 In the Name of god(Allah) The most gracious,most merciful,most beautiful and most loving. First of all, women are portrayed positively in the Qur'an and the Hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad). The Qur'an is the only book of world Scripture in which women are frequently referred to alongside men, and both are described as being friends and partners in faith. The following verses are just a few notable examples: The believers, men and women, are protecting friends one of another; they promote the right and forbid the wrong, establish prayer, pay the poor-due, and they obey God and His messenger. As for these, God will have mercy on them. Surely God is Mighty, Wise. God has promised to believers, men and women, gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein, and beautiful mansions in gardens of everlasting bliss. But the greatest bliss is the good pleasure of God: that is the supreme felicity. (Qur'an 9:71-72) Surely for men who surrender to God, and women...
