Stolen

Assaluallakum,

Recently I was robbed and the culprits took all my electronics. Allhumdulliah i am okay and i ask allah to forgive all the people who commit crimes and help them come on the right path, Ameen.

Because of this it has become harder and harder to post because i do not have a computer of my own. The computer’s at school are not sufficient because they limit you on what you are able to do.

Due to this

Will be taking a break. I am very sad to do this right before TDC and winter break. I was very excited to be blogging live there but unfortunately I will not be able to. Inshallah I will try to have a computer by then. So, Until i get a new computer the post will become very scarce.

BUT i promise you inshallah
as soon as i get a new computer i will come back full force and not stop in helping the muslim ummah. May allah help all of us to achieve the best we can in the afterlife and this life. I am very sad to be writing this post because i had a lot of plans for TDC and the upcoming year of really energizing this blog. I wanted also to start helping people who wanted to blog and helping to finance them. Inshallah in the upcoming year all this will happen.

Please pray that i am able to come back so that i may began to blog again. It was a lot of fun and i want to continue. So until we meet again please keep reading listing and asking questions that will further your status in this Ummah. May allah help all of you, ameen.

Assaluallakum,
Abdullah Zain

Weekend Project

We here at Islam|HD will be starting a weekend project.
Its simple.

A link will be provided where you will go and download the lecture. You will then listen to the part that
is assigned in the weekend project. We will all then discuss the lecture part during the weeknd. Next Weekend we will move on.

First Weekend Project:

The Hereafter

In this series, the Imam vividly portrays the different phases the human soul passes through during its lifetime up to its death as well as the process of judgment of souls and the resulting eternal life in Heaven or Hell in the Hereafter. In breathtaking style the listener hears of the events that occur just before death and the events that come after it. The Imam gives a clear description about life in the grave, the horrors of the last day, the major and minor signs leading to the last hour and the day of resurrection. The Imam crowns this eloquently narrated lecture with the process of accountability and recompense. On the Day of Judgment those who pass the test will be rewarded with Paradise and those who fail will be rewarded with Hellfire.

Part One

See you back here after the weeknd for the discussion.

Enjoy.

Unity

Great Khutbah By Shaykh Yasir Qadhi.

Read and Benefit.

The Basis of Unity

by Yasir Qadhi

When we turn to ahadeeth of the Prophet sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam, we find that a small hadith might contain so much benefit that volumes can be written about it. As he himself said, “Indeed I have been given comprehensive speech.” In other words, a very small statement or a very small phrase will be able to carry a great meaning. This is the case with a particular hadith – the Hadith of ‘Irbad ibn Sa’riya, named after the companion who narrated it. This hadith is so well-known and comprehensive that when this companion’s name is mentioned, this hadith comes to mind. It is an authentic hadith reported in the sunan of Abu Dawud and the ja’mi of Tirmidhi as well as others.

‘Irbad ibn Sa’riya narrates: “Verily the Prophet sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam delivered a sermon, which caused our hearts to tremble and our ears and our eyes to cry.” Notice the effect that the Prophet’s speech sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam had on the Sahaabaa. And the Qur’an describes the Believers as such:
…when they hear the verses recited to them they fall down in sajdah and they cry.

This is the way of the Believer; he benefits from and loves to hear advice. And this is in contrast to the hypocrite and the weak believer, the Fasiq. Allah ‘azza wa jal describes them in the Qur’an:
Why is it that they turn away when they are reminded? / Why don’t they listen? / It is only the believer that benefits from advice and loves it.

Ideal Slave Of Allah

The title is exactly what every Muslim strives for. What is stopping you from achieving it?

You are.

Remember the only person stopping you from becoming great, is yourself.

The Ideal Muslim is one that people can turn to in the time of help for he is confident and strong but, also is sensitive enough that children can play happily around him. He has strength in his bones but love and care in his muscles. He has no room for animosity and quarrels in his heart for it is filled with Noor and, it shines on his face. He lowers his gaze but that never does he lower his eman. He is strong in his beliefs but, is always learning for the Ullamah. He is always, First and Last, a Muslim.

Start Today with this book and some good tips.

The Ideal Muslim

The ideal Muslim is a man of the highest moral character. In his relation with his rabb’ (lord), himself, family, parents, relatives, friends, and the community at large, he has a most excellent example in the Prophet of Islam (pbuh). His idealism is further strengthened by the characters of the first generations of Muslims who excelled in all the various fields of human endeavour. He is reassured by the teachings of Islam that he also can reach these noble heights by working to improve his character daily.

In this title, the author gives a clear overview of the practical aspects of the Islamic lifestyle, as exemplified by the Prophet (pbuh) and his Companions (pbuh). Moving from the innermost aspect of the individual’s spiritual life to his dealings with all those around him, one can see how the Muslim is expected to interact with all others in his life

The Ideal Muslimah

“The ideal Muslimah is proud of the great position that Islam has given her among humanity. She performs her duties knowing that her role is clearly defined and that her rights are still, even today, greater than any other ideology has provided. She is a woman of moral excellence, true to her nature, not confused by alien and morally bankrupt ideas. She preserves her self-respect and dignity through her piety in obedience to Allah (SWT) and His Messenger (PBUH). She is the role model that every true believer hopes to emulate. This comprehensive work by Dr. Al-Hashimi is a valuable contribution for our English readers who will find the knowledge contained therein truly beneficial and inspiring.”

I discovered a lot about myself and the world over spring break. Inshallah I will be talking a lot about many small aspects
of our lives that we can change, which in a whole will make the world better.

Some of the new topics we will discover are:

Islam and the Enviorment.
Islam and Food
Islam and Technology

Islam and Architecture.

Inshallah We will talk about how our daily lives affect the status of our Eman. Even small things like conserving water on a daily basis can teach us to start watching out for other.
Now I know most people are having spring break withdrawals, I know i am. It was fun to hang out with family and see my little nephew.
To help you with the withdrawals, I have have treat for you all.

“Doing All The Heavy Lifting So, You Dont Have To”

Islam Copyrighted.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

Question

Ahmad The Repenter:Asalaamu Alaykum. I was listening to one of your responses on copyright issues,Now I wanted to know, that the Islamic lectures which are produced and have copyright labels; shouldn’t we obey it because lets look at it this way:All the time and effort to record that lecture, then all the time and effort to edit and all the time and effort to make the cover and to make copies onto dvd and to place them in cases. now if we look at all of this it all adds up money, weather the ink, cd’s etc..And lets say an Islamic organization sells Islamic lectures and they produce it. Are we not suppose to support them by buying the product so they can produce more islamic lectures in the future and also people do this job as a living, so is the copyright feature haram to have after all these points are into thought?So Insh’Allah can you clear up things for me.May Allah reward you brother Shaykh Feiz Insh’Allah with the best of rewards Jannah.Wasalaam Walakum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Answer

Sheikh Feiz:

Asalaamu Alaykum warahmatAllah wabarakatahu.
Dear brother Ahmad the Repenter i ask the Almighty to increase your knowledge,knowledge that is implemented then taught then patience in the face of adversity is observed.

I appreciate your understanding to this issue,the issue of copyright in islam, and i do respect your view.However there are a few things that i believe that should be looked at before passing any judgements on this issue, for indeed it is an issue of great controversy.
