Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten?

25.6.11

77 Does not man see that We have created him from the small seed? Then lo! he is an open disputant.

78 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten?

79 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation

80 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire).

81 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower.

82 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is.

83 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back.

18.6.11

71. See they not that it is We Who have created for them - among the things which Our hands have fashioned - cattle, which are under their dominion?-

72. And that We have subjected them to their (use)? of them some do carry them and some they eat:

73. And they have (other) profits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink. Will they not then be grateful?

74. Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped!

75. They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment-seat) as a troop (to be condemned).

76. Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they disclose.

[The Holy Quran, Surah: Yaseen]

There are three types of noria. The most common examples consist of a vertical wheel which is slung with a chain of buckets. The buckets hang down into a well which may be up to 8 m (26 ft) deep. The most primitive norias of this type are driven by donkeys, mules, or oxen. The animal turns another wheel, which is engaged with the noria and so causes it to turn. This causes the buckets to circulate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noria

"The example of the birth of Isah ( Jesus) in the sight of Allah is like the example of Adam......"

17.6.11

There came the time when angels said: "O Mary! Surely Allah has exalted you purified you, and preferred you for His service over all the women of the worlds.[42]
O Mary! Be obedient to your Lord, prostrate and bow down in worship with other
worshippers."[43]

O Muhammad, this is the news from the Unseen which We are revealing to you. You were not present with them when priests of the temple cast their pens to decide which of them should be the guardian of Mary; nor were you with
them when they argued about it.

When the angels said "O Mary! Allah gives you the good news with a Word from Him that you will be given a son: his name will be Messiah, Jesus (Jesus Christ) the son of Mary. He will be noble in this world and the Hereafter; and he will be from those who are very close to Allah. [45] He will speak to the people in the cradle and in his old age and he will be among the righteous."[46]
Hearing this, Mary said, "O my Lord! How can I have a son when no man has ever
touched me?" He replied, "Even so, Allah creates however He wants; whenever He decides to do anything, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is![47]

Allah will teach your son the Book, the Wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel[48] and send him forth as a Messenger to the Children of Israel with this message: 'I have brought you signs of my appointment from your Lord. I will make for you the likeness of a bird from clay; I will breathe into it and, with Allah’s leave, it will become a living bird. I will heal the blind and the lepers, and raise the dead to life, by Allah's leave.

Furthermore, I will tell you what you have eaten and what you have stored in your houses. Surely these are the signs to convince you if you are believers.[49] I am appointed to confirm that which is before me from the Torah and to make lawful to you some of the things forbidden to you. Now I have brought you the signs from your Lord, therefore fear Allah and obey me.[50]

In fact, Allah is my Lord as well as your Lord, therefore,
worship Him; this is the Right Way.'"[51]

When Jesus found out that they (most of the children of Israel) had no faith, he
asked: "Who will help me in the cause of Allah?" The Disciples replied: "We will help you in the cause of Allah. We believe in Allah. Be our witness that we are
Muslims."[52]

Then they invoked Allah and said): "Our Lord! We believe in what you have revealed and we follow Your Messenger. Please count us with those who bear
witness."[53]

The unbelievers among the children of Israel plotted against Jesus and Allah also
devised a plan to raise him up, and Allah is the best in planning.[54]
Allah said: "O Jesus! I am going to recall you (from your mission) and raise you up to Myself. I will clean you of those who rejected you and exalt your followers above the unbelievers until the Day of Resurrection; then to Me shall be your return and I shall judge those matters in which you have been disputing.[55] Those who are unbelievers will be punished with severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter;
they shall have no helpers.[56]
As for those who believe and do good deeds, Allah will pay them their full reward. Allah does not love the transgressors."

This revelation which We recite to you is full of signs and wise reminders.[58] In fact, the example of the birth of Jesus ( Jesus) in the sight of Allah is like the example of Adam who had no father and mother, whom He created out of dust, then said to him:
"Be" and he was.[59] This is the Truth from your Lord, therefore, do not be of those who doubt it.[60]

If anyone disputes with you concerning this matter (the birth of Jesus) after full knowledge has come to you, say: "Come! Let us gather our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: then let us earnestly pray and invoke the curse of Allah on the liars."[61] Verily this is the absolute true explanation. The fact of the matter is, that there is no god but Allah; and for sure Allah is the Mighty, the Wise.[62] But if they turn away from accepting this
challenge, it will be clear proof of their mischief and Allah has full knowledge of
mischief-mongers.[63]

Say: "O people of the Book! Let us get together on what is common between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah; that we shall not associate any partners with Him; that we shall not take from among ourselves any lords beside Allah." If they reject your invitation then tell them: "Bear witness that we are Muslims (who have surrendered to Allah)."[64]

Chapter : A'LAY IMRAN (THE HOUSE OF
IMRAN),
The Holy Quran

"And do not think Allah to be heedless of what the unjust do...."

16.6.11

42 And do not think Allah to be heedless of what the unjust do; He only respites them to a day on which the eyes shall be fixedly open,

43 Hastening forward, their heads upraised, their eyes not reverting to them and their hearts vacant.

44 And warn people of the day when the chastisement shall come to them, then those who were unjust will say: O our Lord! respite us to a near term, (so) we shall respond to Thy call and follow the messengers. What! did you not swear before (that) there will be no passing away for you!

45 And you dwell in the abodes of those who were unjust to themselves, and it is clear to you how We dealt with them and We have made (them) examples to you.

46 And they have indeed planned their plan, but their plan is with Allah, though their plan was such that the mountains should pass away thereby.

47 Therefore do not think Allah (to be one) failing in His promise to His messengers; surely Allah is Mighty, the Lord of Retribution.

48 On the day when the earth shall be changed into a different earth, and the heavens (as well), and they shall come forth before Allah, the One, the Supreme.

49 And you will see the guilty on that day linked together in chains.

50 Their shirts made of pitch and the fire covering their faces

51 That Allah may requite each soul (according to) what it has earned; surely Allah is swift in reckoning.

52 This is a sufficient exposition for the people and that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is One Allah and that those possessed of understanding may mind.

Islam tira dais he, tu Mustafawi hai!

15.6.11

Iss daur main may aur hai, jaam aur hai, jum aur

Saaqi ne bina ki rawish-e-lutf-o-sitam aur

Muslim nai bhi ta’ameer kia, apna harum aur

Tahzeeb ke azar ne trishwai sanam aur

In taza khudaon main baRa sab se watan hai

Jo pairhan iss ka hai, woh mazhab ka kafan hai

Yeh but keh tarasheeda-e-tahzeeb-i-navi hai

Gharat gar-e-khashan-e-deen-i-nabawi hai

Baazu tira tawheed ki quwwat se qawi hai

Islam tira dais he, tu Mustafawi hai!

Nazzara-e-deerana zamanay ko dikha dai

Ai Mustafawi, khaak main iss but to mila dai

Ho qaid-maqaami to nateeja hai tabahi

Rah bahar main azad-e-watan, soorat-e-maahi

Hai tark-e-watan sunnat-e-Mahboob-e-Ilaahi

Dai tu bhi nabuwwat ki sadaqat peh gawahi

Guftaar-e-siyasat main watan aur hi kuch hai

Irshaad-e-nabuwwat main watan aur hi kuch hai

Aqwaam-e-jahan main hai raqabat, to issi sai

Taskheer hai maqsood-e-tijarat, to issi sai

Khaali hai sadaqat sai siyasat, to issi sai

Kamzor ka ghar hota hai gharat, to issi sai

Aqwam main makhlooq-e-khuda bat-ti hai iss sai

Qaumeat islam ki jaR kat-ti hai iss sai

Nationalism? How silly.

Invite to the Way of Your Lord (i.e. Islam) with Wisdom and Fair Preaching....

13.6.11

"Invite to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom and fairpreaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided."

Aik hon Muslim, Haram ki Paasbani kay Liyey

10.6.11

Rabt-o-zabt-e-millat-e-baiza hai mashriq ki nijaat

Asia waley hain iss nuktey say ab tak baykhabar

Phir syasat chor ker daakhil hisaar-e-deen main ho

Mulk-o-dolat hai faqat hifz-e-haram ka ik samar

Nas'l Muslim ki agar mazhab per muqaddam ho gayi

Urr gaya duniya say tu manind-e-khaak-e-reh guzar

Aik hon Muslim, Haram ki paasbani kay liyey

Neel kay saahil say ley ker ta-ba-khaak-e-Kashghar

Ta Khilafat ki bina duniya main ho phir ustawaar

Aey kay nashnasi khafi ra az jali, hoshyaar baash

Aey giraftar-e-Abu Bakar-o-Ali, hoshyaar baash

"Qaum Mazhab say hai, Mazhab jo nahin tum bhi nahin"

4.6.11

Kis qadar tum pay garan subha ki baydari hai

Hum say kab pyar hai, haan neend tumhain pyari hai

Taba-e-azad per qaid-e-ramzan bhaari hai

Tumhi keh dou, yahi aain-e-wafadari hai?

Qaum Mazhab say hai, Mazhab jo nahin tum bhi nahin

Jazb-e-baham jo nahin, mehfil-e-anjum bhi nahin
