Attack on Hijab ....... Attack on Islam


Hijab is not a dress, it is a complete code of Islamic Sharia. Hijab means to Cover. Hijab is the principle of respect & dignity for women in Islam.

A Muslim woman, who is Independent not a Slave, Mature or going to Mature, Elder or Younger must do hijab from strangers. Hijab can be classified in to three categories:

1. Lowest form of Hijab: To cover the whole body except face and palms of hands and feet is the lowest form of hijab.

2. Middle form of Hijab: To cover that whole body i.e use of Burqa is the middle form of hijab.

3. Highest form of Hijab: That a woman is behind the wall/door/cover and strangers cannot even see her shade of clothes, is the highest form of hijab.

Glorious Quran & Hadiths clearly state that a Muslim woman as described above must do hijab.

If a Christian Nun covers her body, it is their religious culture & right and is respected but if a Muslim woman follows Islam even the lowest form of hijab, it is questioned. Why?????

In most European countries they are making laws against Hijab. What are they afraid of?

Concept of God in Christanity

This is the research work of Dr. Zakir Naik. It is quite evident for the Christian to understand that Islam is the only religion in the world which accepts them. We Muslims always use the word "ALLAH" instead of God. So here it is used Godonly for the Christian Brothers to look & understand. GOD is one & we firmly believe in it. Jesus (PBUH) is the Messenger of Allah not the Son (Nauzubillah). The stories of the Holy Spirit are baseless.
I) Position of Jesus (PBUH) in Islam:
(i)Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh).
  
(ii) We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (swt).
  
(iii) We believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe.
  
(iv) We believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pbuh).
  
(v) We believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission.
  
(iv) We believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with God’s permission. 
II) Concept of God in Christianity:
1. Jesus Christ (pbuh) never claimed Divinity
One may ask, if both Muslims and Christians love and respect Jesus (pbuh), where exactly is the parting of ways? The major difference between Islam and Christianity is the Christians’ insistence on the supposed divinity of Christ (pbuh). A study of the Christian scriptures reveals that Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity. In fact there is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (pbuh) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me". In fact the Bible contains statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in which he preached quite the contrary. The following statements in the Bible are attributed to Jesus Christ (pbuh):
(i) "My Father is greater than I."
[The Bible, John 14:28]

(ii) "My Father is greater than all."
[The Bible, John 10:29]

(iii) "…I cast out devils by the Spirit of God…."
[The Bible, Mathew 12:28]

(iv) "…I with the finger of God cast out devils…."
[The Bible, Luke 11:20]

(v) "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."
[The Bible, John 5:30]
  
2. The Mission of Jesus Christ (pbuh) – to Fulfill the Law
Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity for himself. He clearly announced the nature of his mission. Jesus (pbuh) was sent by God to confirm the previous Judaic law. This is clearly evident in the following statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in the Gospel of Mathew:

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

"For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
[The Bible, Mathew 5:17-20]   
3. God Sent Jesus' (pbuh)
  
The Bible mentions the prophetic nature of Jesus (pbuh) mission in the following verses:
  
(i)"… and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me."
[The Bible, John 14:24]
  
(ii)"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent."
[The Bible, John 17:3]
  
4. Jesus Refuted even the Remotest Suggestion of his Divinity
  
Consider the following incident mentioned in the Bible:

"And behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’

And he said unto him, ‘Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.’ "
[The Bible, Mathew 19:16-17]
Jesus (pbuh) did not say that to have the eternal life of paradise, man should believe in him as Almighty God or worship him as God, or believe that Jesus (pbuh) would die for his sins. On the contrary he said that the path to salvation was through keeping the commandments. It is indeed striking to note the difference between the words of Jesus Christ (pbuh) and the Christian dogma of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus (pbuh).
5. Jesus (pbuh) of Nazareth – a Man Approved of God    
The following statement from the Bible supports the Islamic belief that Jesus (pbuh) was a prophet of God.
"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know."
[The Bible, Acts 2:22]
  
6. The First Commandment is that God is One   
The Bible does not support the Christian belief in trinity at all. One of the scribes once asked Jesus (pbuh) as to which was the first commandment of all, to which Jesus (pbuh) merely repeated what Moses (pbuh) had said earlier:
"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adonai Ikhad."

This is a Hebrew quotation, which means:

"Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord."
[The Bible, Mark 12:29]
It is striking that the basic teachings of the Church such as Trinity and vicarious atonement find no mention in the Bible. In fact, various verses of the Bible point to Jesus’ (pbuh) actual mission, which was to fulfill the law revealed to Prophet Moses (pbuh). Indeed Jesus (pbuh) rejected any suggestions that attributed divinity to him, and explained his miracles as the power of the One True God.
Jesus (pbuh) thus reiterated the message of monotheism that was given by all earlier prophets of Almighty God.

NOTE: All quotations of the Bible are taken from the King James Version.
III) Concept of God in Old Testament:
1. God is One

The following verse from the book of Deuteronomy contains an exhortation from Moses (pbuh):

"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adna Ikhad".
It is a Hebrew quotation which means:
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord"
[The Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4]
  
2.  Unity of God in the Book of Isaiah
  
The following verses are from the Book of Isaiah:
      
(i) "I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour."
[The Bible, Isaiah 43:11]
      
(ii) "I am Lord, and there is none else, there is no God besides me."
[The Bible, Isaiah 45:5]
      
(iii) "I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me."
[The Bible, Isaiah 46:9]
  
3. Old Testament condemns idol worship
      
(i) Old Testament condemns idol worship in the following verses:

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"

"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."
[The Bible, Exodus 20:3-5]
      
(ii) A similar message is repeated in the book of Deuteronomy:

"Thou shalt have none other gods before me."

"Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that in the earth beneath, or that is in the water beneath the earth."

"Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."
[The Bible, Deuteronomy 5:7-9]

Syria is Bleeding, Islam is Bleeding ......!!!!!!!!



Islam in Syria comprises 87% of the total population. Sunnis make up 74% of the total, mostly of Arab, Kurdish and Turkish ethnicities. Shia's make up the remaining 13%: Alawites are the predominant Shia group, followed by Twelvers and Ismailis. Sunnis are mainly of the Shafi'i madhhab with pockets of Hanafi and Hanbali. Several large Sufi orders are active in the country, including the Naqshbandi tariqa, and Qadiriyya. Although not traditionally considered as Muslims, the Druze make up 3% of the total population.
In March 1963 a military coup installed a secular, Baath socialist regime dominated by minority sects. 

In 1970, an Alawi ruler, Hafez al-Assad, seized the presidency (he was succeeded by his son, Bashar al-Asad, in 2000).

The most intractable challenge to Baathist rule has come from Sunni Islamic groups, most notably, the Muslim Brotherhood. The first Islamic uprising was in 1964 in Hama; other such sectarian disturbances followed in 1967, 1973 and from 1976-85

The most notable effect on Syria's religious balance has been the increased size of the resident Twelver Shia community in Syria, which was previously minimal.

Alawites
Alawism is an offshoot of the Twelver Shia Islam and constitute the second largest Islamic sect in Syria and are mainly located in northern Syria.


What is happening in Syria? Who is responsible for all this? What is the game behind this? Thousands of Muslims are martyred but the so called U.N is only giving warnings to the Syrian Government since March 2011.
It all started when Government of Syria arrested kids for writing Anti-Government slogans on the walls. Then when the protestors were protesting peacefully they opened fire on them and when the mourning started they opened fire on them as well.
Why U.N is not acting like it acted in Lybia? Why Iran is silent? Why Kindgom of Saudi Arabia is coming forward? Sunni Muslims are dying. Their homes have been destroyed. What was their mistake? Only that they born in Syria.

Please wake up, Syria will be the last battlefield for Muslims. Syria is bleeding ... Islam is bleeding. 

Please wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE vs HATE


A kind of debate / conversation that can go on forever and can't be lasted. People often say that Love & Hate are interlinked. There is a narrow gap b/w the two.

Peoples think "You love some one so much, but you may have the feelings of hatred in next moment as well & vice versa".

But, I believe if you truly LOVE someone, you'll love her/his everything. You cannot hate her/him.
So,

What do you think??????? LOVE is strong or HATE is strong?

Indeed both are co-exists.

What do you think??

Why Happy New Year - 2013 .... ?

The term BC is short for "Before Christ." Historical dates before the birth of Christ become smaller as they approach the theoretical but non-existent Year Zero. Historical dates after the birth of Christ are classified as AD, short for the Latin phrase Anno Domini, or "in the year of our Lord." Contrary to popular belief, AD does not stand for "After Death." The BC/AD system for identifying historical dates has been in continuous use ever since the earliest part of the Middle Ages, at least.

Several centuries after the AD/BC identification of historical dates became popular, a new movement developed among scientists, historians and some religious leaders. The time following the birth of Christ was now referred to as the "Vulgar Era" in some circles. The meaning of the word vulgar actually meant 'common' at that time, not distasteful or obscene. Eventually many areas of the Western world adopted the less Christ-centered term "Common Era." Historical dates occurring before the year 1 CE would be considered BCE, short for "Before Common Era."

Supporters of the BCE/CE method of identifying historical dates say the removal of Christian references works as a bridge between different religions and cultures. The BC/AD system appears to endorse Jesus Christ as the superior world religious figure, which could be viewed as disrespectful of other religions and belief structures. Although the birth of Christ is still used as a reference in the BCE/CE system, the Christian influence is not as apparent.

The Gregorian calendar is the time table that is used today. This calendar is also known as the Solar Calendar. A Solar Year is 365.2 days in length. The present-day calendar has changed several times from the original calendar that it started out to be.

With Romulus as the leader of Rome, the days and the months of the Roman calendar were set by the cycles of the sun and the moon. At that time, a year was considered to be ten months in length. The new year began in the Spring on March 1 and ended in December.

Numa then succeeded Romulus as the new leader and introduced a new calendar which consisted of twelve months. This calendar ended in February. Years later the new year was changed from March first to January first which is when the civil year began. The days of the year numbered three hundred and sixty-five days.
Then, Julius Caesar, the famous Roman Emperor, entered the picture and he introduced the Julian calendar. This calendar began on January 1 in the year 45 B.C.

Finally, Pope Gregory XIII brought into being his own version of the Gregorian calendar in the year 1582, and that evolved into the calendar that we use today.

The days of the week were named as follows: Sunday was originally named afted the Sun; Monday was originallt named after the Moon and was called Moonday, which evolved into Monday over time. The next day was originally named Mars Day after the Roman warrior god, but was later changed to Tiu's Day for the Teutonic warrior god. It later evolved into Tuesday as we know it today. Wotan's Day was named for the Roman god of peace, but it was later changed to Woden's Day after a Teutonic god. This day later evolved into our present day called Wednesday. Notice how the "e" and the "n" somehow got transposed over the years. Thursday was originally called Jupiter's Day, named after the Roman god of thunder and lightning. It later got changed to Thor's Day, named after the ancient god of thunder. Finally, it evolved into its present-day name. Venus' Day was the fifth day of the week, named after the Roman goddess who symbolized Spring. This name was changed to Frigg's Day after the Scandinavian Love goddess. The name finally evolved into Friday. Saturday has hardly been changed as it began as Saturn's Day, named after the Roman god of the harvest. Of course, it evolved over the years into our modern day Saturday.

The names of the months of the Gregorian calendar were derived from the names of the Julian calendar, and are as follows: January originally came from Janus, the god of beginnings. February came from a feast which was called Februa. The name March was named after Mars, the god of war. April came from the name of the Greek goddess named Aphrodite. May's name originated from the name of another goddess known as Maia. June got its name from the anicent goddess named Juno. July and August, of course, were named after Julius Caesar and his successor to the throne, Augustus. And, the final four months of the year got their names from their numerical placement in the year. As you can see, the names of the months evolved over time into their present-day names.

Now being Muslims & having faith in the teachings of Islam & Muhammad (S.A.W), our beleif about the Prophet Esa (A.S), should we celebrate NEW YEAR ???????
Why are we so ignorant? Why are we doing so? What has happened to us? Where is our glory?
Our glory lies with in us. With in our beliefs as Muslims, as Momins as the firm beleivers of the teachings of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) & the Glorious Quran.

Let's not celebrate the beginning of New Gregorian Year but we should adopt our Calendar, Our Islamic Calendar that starts from 1st Muharram.

How to make an impressive Professional Resume?


Resume making is an Art. If your resume is not Professional it'll not impress the Employer/Hiring Agency & won't get a glance for selection.

Very often, People (from Pakistan especially) when move to GCC for Jobs, their Resumes get rejected & they find it very hard to find a good job. I point some important mistakes in Resume making & guide you how it should be avoided:

1. The most common mistake is ignoring Grammatical & Spelling errors. These mistakes greatly affect your resume. So, the first step should be to remove Grammatical & Spelling mistakes.

2. A boring list of duties & responsibilities should be avoided. Make your job description detailed & with relevant examples.

3. The common mistake the people making while building a resume is of putting "OBJECTIVE" statement. Like ... "A challenging opportunity enabling me to contribute to achieve organizational goals".
Remember, it'll lose the reader in the beginning. It makes the resume too general & overused. If you are on a Career Track, replace the resume objective with a tagline stating what you do or your expertise.

4. Often people give suggestion to shorten the resume and make it ONE PAGE. There is no such restriction to resume length. By doing so you may lose impressive achievements. Remember, every word of your resume should sell you.

5. Always write your resume in Telegraphic style and it should be concise. Resume is a form of Business Communication. Avoid use of Personal Pronouns & Articles. For Example, "I achieved 20% market growth rate by using modern business techniques". Replace it as:

"Achieved 20% market growth rate by using modern business techniques".

6. Use modified Chronological format:
a. Header (Name, Age, Nationality, Visa Status, Address, Email, Cell Phone No.)
b. Lead with a strong Profile Section detailing the scope of your experience and areas of proficiency.
c. Reverse Chronological Employment History.
d. Education (Starts from Most recent One)
c. Exclude things like Father Name, Marital Status, Date of Birth, Height, Weight, Hobbies list.

7. An important tool of resume is making a Career Summary. The Career Summary should demonstrate the skills level and experiences directly related to the position sought.

8. Sprinkle Keywords throughout your resume. Always determine Keywords by reading Job Description that interest you and include the words you see repeatedly in your resume.

9. Putting a reference is important. Reference may be Personal & Professional. Use this statement to signal the end of a long resume.

10. One typo can lead your resume to garbage. Proofread and show your resume to your friends to have them proofread it as well.

                    

                     Remember, this document is a reflection of you, so it should be PERFECT.
