 Television A Saudi scholar has issued a religious decree saying it is permissible to kill the owners of television networks broadcasting "depravation and debauchery".
"It is lawful to kill ... the apostles of depravation ... if their evil cannot be easily removed through simple sanctions," Saleh al-Luhaidan, chief justice of the supreme judicial council, was quoted by the Saudi-owned al-Arabiya news channel as saying.
"The situation is serious ... the degradation of morals is a form of perversion on Earth," al-Luhaidan said.

The heart opener.
So when you want to recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from Shaitan (Satan), the outcast (the cursed one). ( An-Nahl, Chapter #16, Verse #98)
I start this Article by seeking refuge in Allah, the All-hearer, the All-Knower, from the whisperings of shaitan, the cursed one, from his arrogance, his poetry and his madness. I seek refuge in Allah from whisperings of shayatheen lest they come near me.
I am starting this thread in name of Allah (SWT), the most merciful in essence and most merciful in action. From the title 'Heart opener', one might know that I am talking about Al-Quran.
Is he whose breast Allah has opened to Islam, so that he is in light from His Lord (as he who is non-Muslim)? So, woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah! They are in plain error! ( Az-Zumar, Chapter #39, Verse #22) |

FASTING in the month of ramadhaan is one of the five pillars upon which the structure of Islam is built. The other four are the declaration of one’s belief in Allah's oneness and in the message of Muhammad (peace be upon him), regular attendance to prayer, payment of zakah (i.e. obligatory charity), and the pilgrimage. If we examine these five pillars, taking into account the fact that Islam aims at improving the quality of human life at both the individual and social levels, we find that the first of these five pillars is concerned with beliefs which influence man’s conduct. The second, i.e. prayer, provides a constant reminder of man’s bond with Allah. Zakah, the third pillar, is a social obligation which reduces the gap between the rich and the poor, while the fifth, i.e. the pilgrimage, has a universal aspect that unites the Muslim community throughout the world. |

Bismillahe Rahmaanir Raheem.. Alhamdullilah, we praise and thank almighty Allah the kind and merciful for Allowing us life and imaan to witness this great and holy month of Ramadhaan.
According to hadeeth it is said of this month something to the effect:
“Indeed ahead of you is the blessed month of Allah. A month of blessing, mercy and forgiveness. A month which, with Allah, is the best of months. Its days, the best of days, its nights, the best of nights, and its hours, the best of hours. It is the month, which invites you to be the guests of Allah and invites you to be one of those near to Him. Each breath you take glorifies Him; your sleep is worship, your deeds are accepted and your supplications are answered. So, ask Allah, your Lord; to give you a sound body and an enlightened heart so you may be able to fast and recite His Book, for only he is unhappy who is devoid of Allah’s forgiveness during this great month. |

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her! |
