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.

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.

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.

The bridge currently has four large arches, and between every two of these is a smaller arch. Near the bridge, remnants of ancient mills can be observed.

However the river-bed has been displaced in the last 1700 years but this wonderful ancient bridge is still strong enough to carry several modern huge trucks, cars and buses.

The Message (30th Anniversary Edition) (1976)

The Message (30th Anniversary Edition) (1976)Producer-director Moustapha Akkad made a true labor of love out of The Message, which seeks nothing less than to tell the story of the origins of Islam. Originally released in the U.S. as Mohammad, Messenger of God, the film has the appeal of most biblical epics: persecuted true believers, a revolutionary prophet scorned by the powers-that-be, and the miraculous triumph of faith. It also has the cheesiness of many biblical epics, with nose-flaring performances and awkward dialogue, but the whole mish-mash is generally entertaining (and informative for those unversed in the "origin stories" of Islam). Akkad had one major hurdle; he couldn't portray the person or voice of Mohammad himself, as such things are traditionally forbidden in Islam. To say the least, this presents an interesting narrative challenge. Akkad tackles it by having characters address the camera-as-Mohammad, or having disciples step out of Mohammad's tent to repeat what the prophet has just said. It's a weird device, but the surprising thing is how often you forget about it. Akkad is aided by some topnotch technicians, including cameraman Jack Hildyard (The Bridge on the River Kwai) and composer Maurice Jarre (whose score was Oscar-nominated); Anthony Quinn, Irene Papas, and Michael Ansara lead the cast.

Also included in the two-disc set is the Arabic-language version of the film, which was shot at the same time with different actors. (It comes without English subtitles.) It runs about 20 minutes longer than the English version; Akkad explains, in a helpful 44-minute making-of documentary, that Arab styles of storytelling (including pacing) and acting are quite different than in the West. Akkad would also make Lion of the Desert and executive-produce the Halloween pictures. He died in the November 2005 terrorist bombings in Jordan. --Robert Horton

Profile of Muhammad Ali and Laila Ali

Muhammad Ali was born on January 17, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. His birth name was Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr, but he changed it to Muhammad Ali in 1964 after he joined the Nation of Islam.

As an amateur boxer, Ali won a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. When he turned professional, he was the first person to win the world lineal heavyweight championship three times. Ali has 56 wins and 5 loses to his career records.

In 1967, Ali was arrested for draft evasion charges after refusing to be drafted into the U.S. military based on religious beliefs and general opposition to the Vietnam War. The arrest caused him to lose his boxing license, as well as the boxing title for four years while the case was fought in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Muhammad Ali was known for his unique fighting style, which he himself described as "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee". Some of his most notable boxing matches included the three matches with Joe Frazier and one with George Foreman. In 1970, while his case was still on appeal in the Supreme Court, Ali was allowed to resume boxing in Georgia against Jerry Quarry, whom he defeated after three rounds. Shortly after the match, the New York State Supreme Court ruled that Muhammad Ali had been unjustly denied his boxing license and Ali went on to fight Oscar Bonavena in 15 long rounds before finally defeating him and qualifying for the match against the undefeated Joe Frazier. On March 8, 1971, Frazier and Ali met for the "Fight of the Century", which ended in Ali's first professional loss.

During a match with Foreman, Ali invented a tactic that involved leaning on the ring ropes and covering up against ineffective body shots thrown by Foreman. This move was later termed "The Rope-A-Dope". Ali regained his world title in this match.

Muhammad Ali has been married four times and has seven daughters and two sons. It was during his third marriage with a woman by the name of Veronica Porche that Ali's daughter Laila was born in December of 1977.

Laila Ali

In Laila's first professional boxing match in December of 1999, Ali knocked out April Fowler in the first round. She went on to win 8 consecutive matches and soon the boxing fans wanted to see Laila Ali face off against George Foreman's daughter or Joe Frazier's daughter. It was June 2001 when Ali had the first match with Jackie Frazier-Lyde (Joe Frazier's daughter). The fight was given the name Ali/Frazier IV, after the women's fathers' fight trilogy. After 8 rounds, the judges ruled Laila Ali the winner.

In 2002, Laila Ali co-authored a book with David Ritz, titled Reach! Finding Strength, Spirit, and Personal Power. It was meant to motivate and inspire young people.

Laila has been married twice. She gave birth to her son, Curtis Muhammad Conway Jr on August 26, 2008.

What is Peace

He is Allah, besides Whom there is no god; the Vocalizer, the Place, the Presenter of quietness, the Granter of warrant, Protector over all, the Powerful, the Supreme, the Somebody of every greatness Honor be to Allah from what they set up (with Him). [ Al - Quran - 59.23 ]

Serenity is something that everyone wants likely writer than anything added. Yet since time began, this experience has never legendary apodeictic tranquility. With all the technological advances that feature profoundly changed the way we resilient, we soothe have not constitute a workable instruction.

Yes, we can display a yearlong listing of steps that can be confiscate to designate peacefulness. The table includes teaching, connexion, tendency, economic resource, negotiation, wiseness, treaties, protocols and else regime mechanisms to denigrate effort and reckon disputes. Notwithstanding, we fuck from unhappy have that these approaches do not e'er follow.

There is another star intensity for pact, and I am personally certain finished the lessons of account, witnessed by bailiwick and official by content that beacon of trust. It is a forcefulness which offers society the mortal wish for wide-spread and lasting grant around the sphere. Mohammadanism, the exclusive resolution to humans quietness.

'Challenge your soul' is the expressions we utilized to reflect man's see and condition for 'inner' ataraxis, healthiness and quietness. This translates in ones pursuance of the temporal gratifications, such as money, force, wealth and credit. For them it is not honorable a choice a life-style but a method of invigoration, thence becomes establishment. For others, such gratifications can be had from search a idea, knowing and sentence of the think of chronicle. Their bark commonly takes them to acknowledging a inspired inflict and the quest to delight "The Supreme and Protector over all" in prospect of a experience heavenly with eonian, healthiness and calmness. For them this is not exclusive a selection of a system of period but also alternative, is both a group of story and a quality of life-style, it offers both the expectation of a aline success in animation and answering the proposal of the purport of spiritedness. If offers tranquillity, felicity and quietude both in this vivification and beingness after end, a reading that is everlasting. Islamism also offers repose in all aspects of the cause and their relationships. Quietude in their relationship with God, fellowship, friends, dominion, governing. It covers the agreement in all areas and ability of our lives.

Islam - Essay - Fundamentals and History

There are few grouping on connective today who have not heard something almost Islamism. Monotheism is one of the most striking religions in the mankind today with at smallest 750 cardinal grouping practicing. Islam is a wilful relationship between an idiosyncratic and his creator. Mohammadanism emerged in Arabia during the past 7th century. Mohammedanism capital "submission" in Semite, which is the portion for the religion---submitting to the Instrument of God. Islamic institution is bacilliform on the foundations of Islamic sentence, show and identity is Monotheism, and Monotheism and its nonbelievers. The Islamic fill had a new establishment in their belief and kept their hopes full to conquer and open towering in confidence that they'll e'er hold a redeeming ambiance.

The foundations of Islamic life are based on a inviolable matter titled the Qu'ran. The Qu'ran is a save of the correct line revealed by God finished the Falls Archangel to the Oracle Muhammad. The Qu'ran is the period publication of every Muslims' belief and apply. It deals with all the subjects which fear us as manlike beings: wisdom, ism, worship, and law, but its radical theme is the relation between God and his creatures. At the said measure it provides guidelines for a honorable order, priggish hominine execute and an equitable economic grouping. From the experience the Qu'ran was revealed, until this day there has e'er been a gigantic. Not one owner of the Qu'ran has been changed over the centuries.

Another seed for the supposition of Islamic account is al-Hadith, or hadith. This is a vast body of transmitted stories and sayings attributed to the Religionist and his comparisons. Unequal the Qu'ran, these stories are not assembled in a one, perfectly acknowledged schoolbook. There are actually more collections of Hadith. Over indication, during the prime few centuries of Islamism, it became manifest that some so-called hadith were in fact invalid sayings that had been fictitious for different motives, at mortal to encourage believers to act righteously and at worse to perverse believers' understanding of Muhammadanism and to trail them astray. Since Islamic eligible scholars were utilizing hadith as an adjuvant to the Qu'ran in their employment of the Islamic lawful scheme, it became critically archeozoic collections of tradition ofttimes contained custom that were of funny source, gradually collections of authenticated custom called sahih were compiled. Much collections were made getable by the developing of the ability of custom criticism, a bailiwick at the fundament of which was a carping analysis of the chain of (oral) gear (isnad) of the tradition exploit all the way indorse to Muhammad. The two most highly reputable collections of custom are the documented collections the Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. In addition to these, four added collections came to be fit respected, tho' not to the magnitude of Bukhari and Muhammadan's sahih collections. These four collections, in component, are the Muwatta of Ibn Malik, the mastermind of the Maliki Schoolhouse of law, and the Musnad of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, the fail of the Hanbali Refine of law.

The bag maker that provides an grave assumption for the belief is the biography of the Oracle of God---Muhammad. Muhammad ibnu Abdillah was innate in Riyadh in the year 569 CE. Unparented at an old age, Muhammad was cared for by his uncle. He earned his extant as a bargainer and a Astronaut among the Bedouins, and was proverbial by his people as al-amin (the dependable one). When he was 25, he wed Khadija. When Muhammad reached the age of 40, the patron Archangel came to him with revelations that ingrained his prophethood. Muhammad was premiere organized to apprize his fast clan on Faith, including his love spouse Khadija, but eventually it was revealed to him that he should statesman delivering the communication to all of mankind. In the close 20 geezerhood of his chronicle, he communicated the communication of Allah to his grouping, and set an illustration for how apiece human parthian Prophet of God. In the twelvemonth 632, the period of his decease, the Prophet delivered his famous end speech.
