Dear Members OF G-L, E I D M U B A R A C K GREETINGS J U S T FOR YOU Al-salaamu alaykum wa rahmat-Allaahi wa barakaatuhu (Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allaah and His blessings). May I seize this opportunity of wishing you a very special Eid Mubarack to you and your family. Let me therefore leave you with this words of comfort from the Holy Quran and Hadith of the Prophet(on whom be the peace and blessing of Allah):- "Verily,this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood,and I am your Lord and Cherisher:therefore serve Me(and no other)".Sura 21:92. "It is not their meat nor their blood,that reaches Allah:it is your piety that reaches Him:He has thus made them subject to you,that ye may glorify Allah for His Guidance to you and proclaim the Good News to all who do right." Sura 22:37. "On the Day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done,and all the evil it had done,it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil.But Allah cautions you (to remember) Himself.And Allah is full of kindness to those that serve Him." Sura 3:30. Hazrat Abu Hurairah(R.A.) relates that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) delared "By Allah,his faith is incomplete","By Allah,he is not a perfect Muslim","By Allah,he does not believe",He was asked: 'O Messenger of Allah!who is he" He said: "one whose neighbour is not immune against his mischief." (Bukhari and muslim). Hazrat Abu Shuraih Al khuzaee(R.A.)relates that the Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) said:"one who believe in Allah and the Last Day,should treat his neighbour kindly;and one who believes in Allah and the Day of Judgement should honour his guest;and one who believe in Allah and the Last Day,should speak well or should keep quiet."(Muslim). Hazrat Anas Bin Malik(R.A.)relates that the Holy prophet (S.A.W.) said:"None of you is perfect muslim until he desires for his muslim brother that which he desires for himself."(Bukhari and muslim). Rabbe qini 'azabaka yauma tab'aso au tajmao Ibadaka. "O my lord protect me from the chastisement of the day on which Thou wilt raise Thy servants."Ameen.

[log in to unmask] Da’wah is to convey the message with wisdom and with good words. We should give the noble and positive message of Islam. We should try to emphasize more commonalities and explain the difference without getting into theological arguments and without claiming the superiority of one position over the other. There is a great interest among the people to know about Islam and we should do our best to give the right message. May Allah,Subhana Wa Ta'Ala,guide us all to His Sirat Al-Mustaqim (Righteous Path).May He protect us from the evils of this life and the hereafter.May Allah,Subhana Wa Ta'Ala,grant us entrance to paradise . We ask Allaah the Most High, the All-Powerful, to teach us that which will benefit us, and to benefit us by that which we learn. May Allaah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala grant blessings and peace to our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions..Amen. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>> To view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>
