Young, British-born white. Women. And .... decided to become Muslim. This phenomenon is now being implicated in the UK. The converts were mostly educated young people.

The number of female converts in the UK is increasing. In the Central London Mosque in Regent's Park, the women include two-thirds of all new Muslims and most of them are under the age of 30.

There is no record of the number of converts in England. The latest data is based on the 2001 census who called 30 thousand British citizens convert to Muslim.

According to Kevin Brice, from the Centre for Migration Policy Research at Swansea University, this amount is probably now closer to 50 thousand - and the majority are women. "Basic analysis shows that an increasing number of educated young women is significant," said Brice.

Republika Online lowering serial five young British women who decided to become converts.

LONDON - "The first time I wore the hijab to the office, I was so nervous, I stood outside and asked my friend over the phone, 'What does the world see me covered now," said Joanne Bailey, a lawyer.

Being a Muslim is the best decision, so he confessed. However, for reasons of occupation, he chose to keep his new faith. Until finally arise courage to proclaim his faith by wearing a headscarf.

"To her surprise, friends greet. Some say, 'I really do not know if you're a Muslim," Bailey recounted.

Bailey was not talkative exchange of trust. As an educated woman and grew up in middle-class neighborhood, he felt comfortable among residents South Yorkshire. "I hardly even see a Muslim before I went to university," he said.

so get to work, he felt the emptiness of the soul. "In my first job at a law firm in Barnsley, I remember I was so desperate to play a role as a young woman who was single and career: a diet of obsessive shopping and go to the bar - but I never felt really comfortable," he said.

Then one afternoon in 2004, everything berubah.Obrolan with a Muslim friend, turned into a discussion of confidence. "Do you believe in God?" he asked. He admitted, though at that time he wore a gold cross necklace, she admitted it was just part of fashion alone, nothing more.

The friend nodded, and began story about his religion. He listened. "A few days later, I found myself ordering a copy of the Quran on the Internet," he admitted.

Later, he ventured to come to Islamic events discussion. "It takes time to gather the courage to come to the event Leeds New Muslims. I remember standing outside the door thinking," What am I doing here? "He said.

He imagined, in the room was filled with black-robed woman, looked down - because they are weak that subordinate women within the family and therefore do not pe-de - and from his mouth out prayers. "What did they see 25 year blonde girl was among them?" added.

When he finally came in, all the really unexpected. Those who are in the room was a Muslim, but far from what he described. "They are doctors, teachers, psychiatrists. And the discussion was very brilliant," he said.

After four years, precisely in March 2008, he was unanimously determined to be Muslim. He bersyahadat at a friend's house. "He started to become Muslims, not as heavy as I had imagined. Just like moving jobs and start it," he added.

Some months she hid the identity of her new faith. But then he has the courage to declare. "The first person I tell is the family. My mother was crying, even before I said I had become Muslim," he said.

In the shadow of his mother, a Muslim of his life confined and under "control" her husband. Also, will dwell in the house because Islam does not allow women to work. "I proved in the elderly, what they think about being a Muslim is not true."

According to him, Islam was to glorify women. "Contrary to what most people think, Islam does not push me, I keep my old, except that my mind is more calm, I better understand the meaning of gratitude, and ... a few months ago, I was engaged to a Muslim attorney whom I met in a training course, "he said smiling.

He admitted, her husband is a Muslim candidate who protect and seide to him. "She did not have a problem with my career, but I agree with the Islamic perspective on the roles for men and women. I want to keep my husband and children, but I also want my freedom. I am proud to be British citizens and I am proud to be Muslims - and I do not see the British-Islam as two things that contradict in any way, "She said.

Just Say La ilaha Illallaah Can Go to Heaven?

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, washalatu wassalamu Alhamdulillah 'ala rasulillah wa' ala Man Ihtadaa Aalihi washahbihi wa bi hudaahu.

Many arguments syar'i of the Qur'an and Sunnah to show that anyone who bertauhid and died on it would go to heaven. Among these are the words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam,

أمرت أن أقاتل الناس حتى يقولوا لا إله إلا الله فمن قالها فقد عصم مني ماله ونفسه إلا بحقه

"I am commanded to fight against people so they say La ilaha Ilallah, then when they have to say it, the blood and treasure they are forbidden me except with her rights." (Narrated by al-Bukhari)

Hadith Ubadah bin Tsamit radi 'anhu:

من شهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأن محمدا عبده ورسوله وأن عيسى عبد الله ورسوله وكلمته ألقاها إلى مريم وروح منه والجنة حق والنار حق أدخله الله الجنة على ما كان من العمل

"Whoever says, 'I testify that there is no god except Allah alone is the right which no partner unto Him and that Muhammad is His slave and His messenger, that Jesus is the servant of God and son of his female servant, (which was created with) His words conveyed unto Mary, and (by blowing) spirit from Him, that jannah (heaven) is the right and hell is also the right (true), 'surely God will put it into heaven no matter how charitable. "(HR . Al-Bukhari)

There are many other hadiths that show that people who say La ilaha Illallaah with honest and bertauhid, words containing attitude bara'nya (innocent) of shirk and believed that God alone has the right diibadahi, then he will enter Paradise. He included a Muslim. Simultaneously, he also believed that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah to justify all that Allah and His Messenger to say at that time. Then he sued implement Islamic law, then if the prayer time has come, he must carry it out. Like that also alms, fasting, and pilgrimage. If he died after bertauhid, definitely go to heaven. If he converted to Islam and died afterwards, definitely go to heaven, because he did not have time to do good deeds, nor will ever do the slightest harm. And Islam cut / remove the previous deeds, repent while eliminating past mistakes. If he had lived up to get the prayer, then it is obligatory for him to offer prayers. If he refuses and he opposed it then became unbelievers, and if leave is a kaafir. Likewise, when he obtained an order of zakat, he must pay the obligatory charity. If he refused to pay Zakat and he had been adulterous and entitled to go to hell. Likewise, if he finds fast command, if he is not fast so he had adulterous and should go to hell, unless God forgive him. Likewise, when he committed adultery, steal or semisalnya, then he has been engage in immoral acts should go to Hell unless Allah forgives him, he was under Masyi'ah (the will) of God.

إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاء

"Verily Allah will not forgive the sin of shirk, and He forgives all sins that apart from (shirk), for whom He wills." (Surat al-Nisa ': 48)

I mean whenever he converted to Islam and implement the monotheistic attitude to God, belepas from kesyirikan and faith in all the news of Allah and His Messenger, then he became a Muslim. Then he demanded to exercise these rights in the form of Islamic prayer, and in others as well as leave immoral. If he left the immoral and implement the demands of Islam, then Islam and iman perfect. If he died on the spot have not charity, it is heaven for him, because his Islamic delete the previous mistakes. If he is still alive and carry out some disobedience or leave some obligatory charity, so he was under masyi'ah (will of) Allah, if Allah wills it will forgive him and put it into heaven with tauhidnya. And if you will, God will torture him comparable to the sin in which he took off as word of Allah Ta'ala ago

إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاء

"Verily Allah will not forgive the sin of shirk, and He forgives all sins that apart from (shirk), for whom He wills." (Surat al-Nisa ': 48)

whenever he converted to Islam and mentauhidkan God, belepas from kesyirikan and faith in all the news of Allah and His Messenger, then he became a Muslim.

If he died on the spot have not charity, it is heaven for him, because his Islamic delete the previous mistakes.

This is a scholarly consensus' (consensus) of the Muslims and in accordance with the consensus Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama. People who engage in immoral acts under masyi'ah (the will) of God, not as belief Khawarij dikafirkan. He is not eternal in hell as the spoken and Mu'tazilite Kharijites. No, but he was under masyi'ah God. When he died on adultery, theft, disobedience to parents, drinking, eating usury property but not to consider it kosher and still judge it as disobedience, without menghalalkannya but he was defeated by the passions and the devil and he knew it was immoral, then he was he was under masy'iah God. If He wills it will forgive them, and if God wills it will torture him in hell according to levels of wickedness in which he was brought dead. After purified and cleaned then God will remove it from hell as ijma 'Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama. There will be eternal in hell except those who disbelieve. This is different to understand Khawarij and Mu'tazilite they say, "Surely a man who died on the adulterous if kemaksiatannya he would eternally in hell." Khawarij Group said, "He infidels". Their words are false according to the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama. Their opinions are very false and have been refuted by one paragraph that noble, that is the word of Allah, the Exalted:

إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاء

"Verily Allah will not forgive the sin of shirk, and He forgives all sins that apart from (shirk), for whom He wills." (Surat al-Nisa ': 48)

While the words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam about people who commit adultery "An adulterer is not going to be adultery when they want to commit adultery if she is still a believer. And it will not be drinking liquor when will drink it if he was still a believer. And not going to be a steal (a puncuri) when going to steal while she was still a believer. "The point is anacaman and stern warning. That is not a perfect believer in faith. There is a flaw in his faith that its meaning is not an infidel. Because of these verses to justify each other with each other as well as hadith, mutually confirming each other. The Book of God, some will not menduskan others. Sunnah also will not violate the Quran. And shall interpret the texts with other texts.

Word of the Prophet "An adulterer does not commit adultery so when will fornicate if he was a believer," which is compulsory and perfect faith. If he has complete faith, it would not be adultery. Tai faith was weak and there is a defect, so he fell to adultery and drinking alcohol because of weakness of faith he has. Its meaning is not he a Gentile, because the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam ordered enforced Had (punishment) on the adulterers, and Had a kafarah (sin) for him. And if an adulterer dies after enforced Had it, then he go to heaven, and Had such a redeemer for her. Therefore, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam said in the hadith' Ubadah contained in Shahihain after he mentioned about the sins of immorality, he said:

"Who was found by God in the world-that is enforced Had syar'i-then it becomes kafarah (penghaphus) for him. And who God suspend business until the afterlife then handed over to God. "As Allah the Exalted,

ومن يشرك بالله فقد افترى إثما عظيما

"And will forgive sins in others for whom He will." (Surat al-Nisa ': 48)

So Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama said: Behold the sinners are under masyi'ah (the will of God). If sin is not shirk, and he did not menghalalkannya, then he is under masyi'ah God as adulterers, khamer drinker, eater of usury, prodigal son to his parents, and semisalnya. The person who justifies immorality, adultery and said that justifies adultery kosher, then enforced hujjah him. If the argument is clear to him and he still insisted that he disbelieved adultery kosher and including actors kufr akbar the issuing of Islam. So do people who say: Behold khamer kosher, then upheld the proposition to him. If he persisted with his words then he becomes an infidel. Like that also people who say stealing is usury halal or kosher, then upheld the proposition to him. If you still insist with keyakinanya that usury halal, he has disbelieved. So do people say about disobedience to parents is kosher, then explained the matter to him. If he still insists described after their arguments, then he is an infidel. Likewise the condition of those who say that liwath (homosexual / relationship type) is lawful.

Such was the state of one who justifies sinners who are already obvious in the deen. If he menghalalkannya and has upheld hujjah (arguments) and arguments for him, and he remained in his opinion he is an infidel. Meanwhile, people who died by carrying disobedience and he knew it was immoral, he did not consider it kosher, he knowingly sinner, he died in a state of adultery, dead drunk, dead in a state of eating usury, but he realizes that it is a sinner he was under masyi'ah God. If God wills, it will forgive their sins through deeds and tauhidnya shalihnya. And if He willed the other, they will torture him with a crime that he just took off. Then, after the holy and clean in hell, God put them out and put it into heaven. Lots of hadith Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam who showed a lot of sinners who go to hell and tortured in it, then God put them out of hell on fire and then burnt in a state immersed in sungi life, after which he grew up as the growth of bean sprouts. If you have perfect bodies, then Alla put it in heaven.

People who justifies sinners who are already obvious in the deen. If he menghalalkannya and has upheld hujjah (arguments) and arguments for him, and he remained in his opinion he is an infidel.

Lots of hadith Rasulillah alaihi wasallam and consensus' Ahlis Sunnah wal Jama that there will be eternal in hell except those who disbelieve, - we ask God's salvation to him -. While experts immoral, no. Sometimes she was living in hell in a long time, and sometimes called the eternal but eternally limited and will be completed. If completed that God has allotted to him after the God tertapkan out of hell, then taken to heaven because of monotheism and Islam.

Terms Sentence Tauhid

Tawhid memilihi several conditions that have been mentioned to some scholars, amounting to seven, while others mention eight. Namely: Science, confident, sincere, honest, love, inqiyad (subject), qabul (receive), and added that eight Kufr against god but Allah. If a student of knowledge to understand, believe, and do it then this is the perfection of monotheism and faith. If he was a layman who does not know these terms but he was innocent of and faithful to Country kesyirikan God, His mentauhidkan is enough even though he did not know these requirements. When is he innocent of shirk and kufr, and believe in iniquities, and believe in Allah alone, then it is enough.

Lots of hadith Rasulillah alaihi wasallam and consensus' Ahlis Sunnah wal Jama that there will be eternal in hell except those who disbelieve, while experts immoral, no.

Science, namely to know that Allah Almighty is entitled diibadahi. While the meaning of La ilaha Illallaah is no rights except diibadahi with God. Sure, he spoke with full confidence without hesitation. He mentauhidkan God with confidence. Sincere, that he did not associate with other than his God, but he ikhlaskan worship to God with honesty. This is different from the people munafikin, they say it with lies. Hypocrites are the infidels if he say it dzahir when he lied in his mind, this person an infidel.

With great love, is mencinai God and love for mentauhidkannya. Those who disbelieve will not love God, hate of monotheism, or hate faith.

ذلك بأنهم كرهوا ما أنزل الله فأحبط أعمالهم

"That is because they hated what Allah revealed (the Quran) and God abolished (rewards) their deeds." (Surah Muhammad: 9)

Qabul Likewise, he accepted the deen (religion), receive the truth, and follow it. As if he refused the truth, not accept it, and not subject to the truth, even he did not accept to mentauhidkan kesyirikan God and do not leave, then he becomes an infidel. And should deny any of diibadahi as the word of God but Allah, the Exalted,

فمن يكفر بالطاغوت ويؤمن بالله فقد استمسك بالعروة الوثقى

"Therefore those who disbelieve in Evil and believes in Allah, then surely he has to hold on to a very strong rope knot that will not break." (Surat al-Baqara: 256) That is Kufr of worship to other than Allah, namely denying . Convinced kebatilan worship to other than Allah, to deny and quit from it. This is the meaning of words sya'ir: "And the added eighth kufurmu against everything that made god but Allah." Means: a believer mngetahui truth, believe in it, and justify it. He is innocent of kesyirikan and perpetrators, and follow the truth and steady with her, to love God and His Messenger. As this is a believer, though he did not know the terms of the sentence of monotheism. When did she accept the truth and is subject to mentauhidkan God, mengikhlaskan worship to God, to love God and submit to His Shari'a and not lie like the people munafikin, then his faith is authentic. Walllahu Almighty knows best.

Ruling on shaving the beard

Shaving the beard is haraam because of the saheeh ahaadeeth that clearly state this, and because of the general application of texts that forbid resembling the kuffaar. One of these reports is the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Be different from the mushrikeen: let your beards grow and trim your moustaches.” According to another report: “Trim your moustaches and let your beards grow.” 

About Circumcision

Circumcision is not only done on men, but also performed on women. Circumcision for men is to cut all qulfah (skin) that covers the ends of dzakar, while for women is to cut the skin of the prominent (and above) farjinya only.

Circumcision is a Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim. The Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa Salam said, which means: "Khalilur Rahman Ibrahim berkhitan after the age of 80 years and he berkhitan with an ax." (HR: Al-Bukhari)

Berkhitan allowed after baligh. Ibn Abbas was asked, which means: "Who are you when Rasululloh age sallallaahu alaihi wa Salam died?" Ibnu Abas said: "I was at that time was already circumcised, and the people (those days) did not circumcise male until he baligh." (HR: Al-Bukhari)

Among the functions for male circumcision is to remove the dirt and unclean nest. Whereas for women are (among others) to stabilize syahwatnya stimulation. If circumcised too deep could make him have no desire at all, on the contrary, if the skin is a prominent upward vaginannya (clitoris) is cut can be dangerous, because if rubbed or touched something he quickly aroused. So Rasululloh sallallaahu alaihi wa Salam said to the carpenters circumcision woman (Umm A'Thiyyah), which means: "Do you cut out, because (do not cut out) was more beneficial for women and more unpopular husband." (Reported by: Abu Dawud)

Regarding circumcision for women is indeed not known by most of our society, but hopefully through this information, we begin to practice it and for the Muslim with the medical profession began to study or learn it so help Muslims in performing female circumcision, so do not let Muslim women who circumcise a baligh are the men.

A concern when not in circumcision for women is going to be one of the driving causes him to become a lesbian. Thus Islam ordered that stabilize syahwatnya by circumcision.

What the West Needs to Know?

An examination of Islam, violence, and the fate of the non-Muslim world.

Virtually every major Western leader has over the past several years expressed the view that Islam is a peaceful religion and that those who commit violence in its name are fanatics who misinterpret its tenets. This claim, while widely circulated, rarely attracts serious public examination. Now, the question is finally being asked, "Is Islam itself violent?"

Through an examination of the Koran, other Islamic texts, and the example of the prophet Muhammad, this documentary establishes, through a sober and methodical presentation, that violence against non-Muslims is and has always been an integral aspect of Islam. "Jihad," while best translated as "struggle," as represented in the Koran and the life of Muhammad, means nothing less than organized warfare against unbelievers. Relying primarily on Islam's own sources, this documentary demonstrates that Islam is a violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government.

The documentary consists of original interviews, citations from Islamic texts, Islamic artwork, computer-animated maps, footage of Western leaders, and Islamic television broadcasts. Its tone is sober, methodical, and compelling.

Features interviews with noted experts on Islam including Robert Spencer, Serge Trifkovic, Bat Ye'or, Abdullah Al-Araby, and former terrorist Walid Shoebat.

But now Streich has become an adherent of Islam. Without completely expected, anti-Islamic thought that eventually brought so close to this religion. Streich even now have a desire to build the most beautiful mosques in Europe in Switzerland.

The most interesting in this regard is that at this moment there are four mosques in Switzerland and Streich want to make a fifth mosque. He admitted to looking for "forgiveness of his sin" that has poisoned the Islamic. Now is the fact that the ban on mosque domes have obtained legal status.

About Dome Of Mosque

Like the tower and the sanctuary, the dome has not historically known at the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Leading architecture, Prof K Cresswell in Early Muslim Architecture stated that the initial design of the mosque of Medina did not know the dome. In the reconstruction of the architecture, Cresswell shows how simple it is built mosque of the Prophet Muhammad.

Rasul mosque early architectural square with the wall as a barrier around it. Along the inside wall of the porch is made such a direct contact with an open field in the middle. As the development of technology architecture, the dome appears as the cover of the mosque building.



Dome did not come and rooted in Islamic architecture. That's because Islam does not take direct physical or cultural traditions of Islam does not teach grammar in a concrete form of architecture. Islam gives to his people the opportunity to determine the physical choices of minds.
Almost all cultures have known and dome. From time to time the dome shape is always changing. It is said that the first civilization to recognize and use the dome is the nation Mesopotamia from 6000 years ago. In the 14th century BC, the Mycenaean Greeks had found a vaulted tomb building (tholos Tombs).

However, there are also stating that the dome began to emerge during the Roman Empire, circa 100 AD One evidence is building pantheon (temple) in the city of Rome Hadria built at 118 King AD - 128 AD The use of recorded dome began growing rapidly in the early Christian period.

Dome structures and landscape at that time not too large, as there is in the building of Santa Costanza in Rome. In the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian also built a magnificent ancient dome. In the year 500 AD, he used the dome on the building in Constantinople Hagia Spohia.


So since when did Islam start using the dome of the mosque architecture? Historical and archaeological, the first dome in Islamic architecture found in the Dome of the Rock (Dome of Rock) or commonly known as the Mosque of Omar in Jerusalem. Dome of the Rock was built around 685 AD to 691 AD

Interior Dome of the Rock is decorated with arabesk - geometric-shaped ornaments, ornamental plants propagation and calligraphy. Decorative element could be a characteristic of Islamic architecture since the 7th century AD Until now, calligraphy is still the ornaments that decorate the interior of the building of a mosque.

Since then, the Islamic architects continue to develop diverse style dome on the mosque he had built. In the 12th century AD, in Cairo, the dome became a symbol of national architecture of Egypt in the structure of Islamic societies. From time to time at the mosque dome shape also continue to change following the technological developments.

When Islam spread out and interact with other cultures and civilizations, the Islamic architects apparently did not hesitate to take the form of options that already exist, including techniques and how to build an already owned by the local community.
No wonder, if the dome shape was somewhat different mosques, according to the culture and the Muslim community living. Almost in every Muslim country has a domed mosque. Among the famous domed mosque, among others; Blue Mosque in Istanbul Turkey, the Taj Mahal in Agra, India, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, and other

Wife of one of the characteristics that indicate shalihah good interaction with her husband is submissive to her husband and help her work to the extent he could. He will not let her husband serve himself while he sat passively watching what he did. He was reluctant when her husband until tersibukkan with housework, cooking, washing, making beds, and similar, while he was still able to handle it. So it is not surprising that we find a wife shalihah busy day by providing service to her husband, starting from preparing the bed, eat and drink, clothing and other needs of the husband. All done with full compliance and broad-mindedness with the intention of worship to Allaah. And this really is a form of action to ihsannya husband, who was expected of him he'll enjoy the goodness.

Submissive to their husbands has been performed by major women more noble than the shahabiyyah, as Asma 'bintu Ash-Abi Bakr Siddiq may Allaah be pleased' anhuma the submissive to Az-Zubair Ibn al-Awwam may Allaah be pleased 'anhu, her husband.

When Fatima came to the place of his father to ask for a maid, his father's noble to give guidance to a better:


ألا أدلكما على ما هو خير لكما من خادم? إذا أويتما إلى فراشكما أو أخذتما مضاجعكما فكبرا أربعا وثلاثين وسبحا ثلاثا وثلاثين وحمدا ثلاثا وثلاثين, فهذا خير لكما من خادم


"Shall I show you both what is better for you than a servant? When you come to your bed or to lie down, read Allahu Akbar 34 times, 33 times Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah and 33 times. This is better for you than a servant. "(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 6318 and Muslim no. 2727)

Companions of the Messenger of Allaah 'alaihi wa sallam, may Allaah be pleased Abdillah Jabir bin' anhu, marrying a widow to humble him by taking care of his sisters are still small. Jabir story: "My father died and he left the 7 or 9 girls. So I married a widow. The Messenger of Allaah 'alaihi wa sallam asked me:


تزوجت يا جابر? فقلت: نعم. فقال: بكرا أم ثيبا? قلت: بل ثيبا. قال: فهلا جارية تلاعبها وتلاعبك, وتضاحكها وتضاحكك? قال فقلت له: إن عبد الله هلك و ترك بنات, وإني كرهت أن أجيئهن بمثلهن, فتزوجت امرأة تقوم عليهن وتصلحهن. فقال: بارك الله لك, أو قال: خيرا


"Are you married, O Jabir?"

"Yes," I replied.

"With a girl or a widow?" He said.

"With the widow," I replied.

"Why are you not married to the girl, so you can play with it and he played with. And you can laugh with him and he could laugh with you? "He said.

"My father, Abdullah, died and she left the girls and I do not like to bring in their midst the same woman with them. So I married a woman who can look after and care for them, "I replied.

He said: "May God bless you", or he said: "May the good for you." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 5367 and Muslim no. 1466)

Mihshan ibn Husayn said: "My aunt tells me, he said:" I never went to the Messenger of Allaah 'alaihi wa sallam as a necessity, so he asked:


أي هذه! أذات بعل? قلت: نعم. قال: كيف أنت له? قلت: ما آلوه إلا ما عجزت عنه. قال: فانظري أين أنت منه, فإنما هو جنتك ونارك


"O woman, if you have a husband?"

"Yes," I replied.

"How are you against your husband?" He said.

"I do not reduce reduce the observance and submissive to her, except what I could not fulfilled," I replied.

"Look at where the whereabouts of your husband, because he is a heaven and hell," the word he. (Narrated by Ibn Abi Abi Shaybah and other than, dishahihkan sanadnya by Ash-Shaykh al-Albani in Adabuz Zifaf vol, pp. 179)

But on the other hand, a good husband would not burden his wife with a job who could not assuming. Indeed, he saw and noticed the presence of his wife if she needed any help.

Is the Messenger of Allaah 'alaihi wa sallam is the best picture of her husband. In the midst of busy taking care of the people and preaching in the street Allaah, he took time to help his family and doing what he could do for himself without charge to his wife, as reported wives, Aisha may Allaah be pleased 'anha when al-Aswad ibn Yazid asked him:


ما كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يصنع في البيت? قالت: كان يكون في مهنة أهله - تعني خدمة أهله - فإذا حضرت الصلاة خرج إلى الصلاة


"What the Prophet used to do 'alaihi wa sallam in the house?"

Ayesha may Allaah be pleased 'anha said: "He used to help the working wife. When it was time for prayers, he went out to do the prayer. "(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 676, 5363)

In another narration, Aisha may Allaah be pleased 'anha said that the Messenger of Allaah job' alaihi wa sallam to do at home:


ما يصنع أحدكم في بيته, يخصف النعل ويرقع الثوب ويخيط


"He used to do what you do one at home. He patched sandals, mending clothes, and sew. "(Narrated by al-Bukhari in Al-Adabul simplex no. 540, dishahihkan ash-Shaykh al-Albani in Saheeh al vol-Adabil simplex no. 419 and Al-Mishkat no. 5822 )


كان بشرا من البشر, يفلي ثوبه ويحلب شاته


"He's human. He mended his clothes and squeezing the goat's milk ". (Narrated by al-Bukhari in Al-Adabul simplex no. 541, dishahihkan ash-Shaykh al-Albani in Saheeh al vol-Adabil simplex no. 420 and Ash-Saheehah 671)

Allaah ta'ala knows best-bish shawab.

Arrogance spread disdain Reaping

Still prism of a string of advice Luqman Al-Hakim to his son. Toward the end of his advice, Luqman forbids his son from being arrogant and ordered him to humble himself (tawadhu '). Luqman said to his son:

ولا تصعر خدك للناس ولا تمش في الأرض مرحا إن الله لا يحب كل مختال فخور


"And do not you turn your face from humans (for pride), and do not walk with dignity. Truly Allah loveth not the proud and arrogant. "(Luqman: 18)



Luqman forbids such turning surly face and to others as arrogant and felt great, banned from walking with a proud, proud of the good that is in him and forget the Essence that gives pleasure, and admiration for myself. Because God does not like any of the proud with the situation and being arrogant with his words. (Karimir Rahman Taisirul things. 649)

In another verse Allah forbids k also:



ولا تمش في الأرض مرحا إنك لن تخرق الأرض ولن تبلغ الجبال طولا



"And do not walk the earth with pride, because you really will not be able to penetrate the earth and will not reach as high as mountains." (Al-Israa `: 37)

Thus, someone with ketakaburannya not be able to achieve all that. Even he would be a humiliation before God k and degraded in the presence of men, despised, and wrath. He had undergone the worst character and lowest without reaching what he wants. (Taisirul Karimir Rahman, pp. 458)

Humiliation. This was harvested by the proud. He's not going to get what he expected in the world and the Hereafter.

'Amr ibn Shu'ayb narrated from his father from his grandfather of the Prophet n:



يحشر المتكبرون يوم القيامة أمثال الذر في صورة الرجال, يغشاهم الذل من كل مكان, يساقون إلى سجن من جهنم يسمى بولس, تغلوهم نار من الأنيار, ويسقون من عصارة أهل النار طينة الخبال



"People are proud collected on the Day of Resurrection like little ants in human form, overwhelmed by shame from every direction, led to a prison in Hell called Bulas, engulfed by the fire and given a drink of lemon inhabitants of hell, thinatul khabal.1 "(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, dihasankan by Ash-Shaykh al-Albani in Saheeh al t-Adabul simplex no. 434)

Even an arrogant threatened with the wrath of God k. Thus we find that the Messenger of n, as presented by a noble Companions, 'Abdullah bin' Umar c:



من تعظم في نفسه أو اختال في مشيته لقي الله عز وجل وهو عليه غضبان



"Anyone who feels proud of himself or arrogant in the way, he will meet God in a state k of God's wrath against him." (Narrated by Ahmad, dishahihkan by ash-Shaykh al-Albani in Saheeh al t-Adabul simplex no. 427)

Arrogance (kibr) in people who are not happy with the beauty. However, arrogance is against the religion of Allah and lowered k servants of God k. Thus described by the Messenger of n when he was asked by 'Abdullah bin' Umar c, "Is it arrogant if someone has hullah2 wearing?" N He replied, "Not." "Is if someone has a good two-shoes with a strap sandals good? "" Not. "" Is when someone has driven the animals ride? "" Not. "" Is when a person has friends who used to sit with him? "" Not. "" O Messenger of Allah, then what is the arrogance that? " n then he said:



سفه الحق وغمط الناس



"Underestimating the truth and humble man." (Narrated by Ahmad, dishahihkan by Ash-Shaykh al-Albani in Saheeh al t-Adabul simplex no. 426)

Not the least of Allah n opportunity for someone to be arrogant. In fact, he always ordered n tawadhu '. 'Iyadh bin Himar z n said that the Messenger of Allah said:



إن الله أوحى إلي أن تواضعوا حتى لا يفخر أحد على أحد ولا يبغي أحد على أحد



"Surely God revealed to me that you should be tawadhu 'till no one boast over the other and no one did exceed the limits of others." (Narrated by Muslim, no. 2865)

In contrast to the arrogant, those who decorated with tawadhu 'will reach the glory of Allah k, as presented by the noble Companions, Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of n z said:



وما تواضع أحد لله إلا رفعه الله



"And it is not someone being tawadhu 'for God, but God will lift." (Narrated by Muslim, no. 2588)

Tawadhu 'because God k there are two meanings. First, humbled himself to the religion of Allah, so do not haughty and arrogant against this religion and to perform its laws. Second, lowered himself to the servants of God because God k k, not because of fear of them, or expecting something in them, but simply because God k. Both meanings are true.

When one humbles himself for Allah k, then Allah will lift k in the world and the Hereafter. This is something that can be witnessed in this life. Someone who humbles himself will occupy a high position in the sight of men, would mention his kindness, and will be loved by humans. (Sharh Riyadhish Righteous, 1 / 365)

Not only limited to mere order, the stories in the Prophet's life n many ketawadhu'an he describes. N He is a most noble man in the face of God k. However, he rejected calls for his excessive. That is narrated by Anas Ibn Malik z when people said to the Prophet n, "O best among us, children of the best of us! O our lord, our lord son! "N He said:



يا أيها الناس عليكم بقولكم ولا يستهوينكم الشيطان, إني لا أريد أن ترفعوني فوق منزلتي التي أنزلنيه الله تعالى, أنا محمد بن عبد الله عبده ورسوله



"O people, be careful with your words, not until you dijerumuskan by the devil. Actually I do not want you to take me on the position given by the Almighty for me. I was Muhammad ibn 'Abdillah, His servant and His messenger. "(Narrated by An-Nasa` i in the' Yaum wal Amalul Lailah, said in Saheeh al-Musnad Ash-Ash-fi Syamail Muhammadiyah no. 786: hadeeth according to the requirements Muslim)

Z Anas bin Malik relates:



كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يزور الأنصار فيسلم على صبيانهم ويمسح برؤوسهم ويدعو لهم



"The Messenger of n ordinary people visited Ansar, then say hello to their children, rubbing their heads and pray." (Reported by An. Nasa `i, said in Saheeh al-Musnad Ash-Ash-fi Syamail Muhammadiyah no. 796: hadith hasan)

N Ketawadhu'an Messenger has become a real picture of the model by the Companions. Anas bin Malik z never passed the kids, then he said good-bye to them. N He said:



كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يفعله



"The Prophet used to do this n that." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 6247 and Muslim no. 2168)

Greetings to the children was done by the Prophet n and followed by his Companions g. This is the attitude tawadhu 'and good morals, and including education and good teaching, and counseling and guidance to children, because children are being greeted when they will get used to it and become something that is embedded in their soul . (Sharh Riyadhish Righteous, 1/366-367)

've Also Rifa'ah Tamim ibn Abu Usaid zmenuturkan an event which provides an n ketawadhu'an Prophet and affection and love for him against the Muslims:



انتهيت إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو يخطب, فقلت: يا رسول الله, رجل غريب جاء يسأل عن دينه لا يدري ما دينه? فأقبل علي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وترك خطبته حتى انتهى إلي فأتي بكرسي, فقعد عليه, وجعل يعلمني مما علمه الله, ثم أتى خطبته فأتم آخرها



"I've come to the Messenger of n when he was delivering the sermon. Then I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, a stranger came to you to ask about his religion, he did not know about his religion.' The Messenger had come to n, then taken to a chair and he sat on it. Begin to teach me what he was taught by God. Then he returned to continue his sermon until the end. "(Narrated by Muslim, no. 876)

So many suggestions and life stories depicting the Prophet n ketawadhu'an him. Likewise, the Companions of g. Stay back at the father and mother herself. Which roads would they want to chose for her baby? Teaches humility to find happiness in the two countries, or planting seeds to reap humiliation of pride in the world and the hereafter?

Allaah ta'ala a'lamu bish-shawab.
