PEARLS FROM THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM)
“Wish not for death, any one of you; neither the doer of good works, for some reason he may increase his good deed nor the offender for perhaps he may obtain forgiveness of God by repentance. Wish not nor supplicate for death before its time comes; for verily when you die, hope is out and with it the ambition for reward; and verily, the increase of a believer’s life increases his good works.
He who flees away from epidemics is like one who flees away from the holy war; one who is patient therein shall have for him the reward of a martyr.
The grave is the first stage of the journey into eternity.
Not one of you must wish for death due to any wordly affliction; but if there certainly is anyone wishing for death, he must say! “O Lord, keep me alive so long as life may be good for me, and cause me to die when it is better for me.”
JIHAD
It was asked, “O Messenger of Allah: “Who is the most excellent of men?” The Messenger of Allah said, “The believer who strives hard in the way of Allah with his person and his propery.”
A party of my community shall not cease fighting for the Truth and they shall be triumphant over their opponents.
Surely Allah will raise for this community at the beginning of every century one who shall revive for its faith.
The Messenger of Allah said: “Whom do you count to be a martyr among you?” They said, “O Messenger of Allah! Whoever is killed in the way of Allah is a martyr!” He said, “In that case the martyrs of my community shall be very few. He who is killed in the way of Allah is a martyr; he who dies a natural death (in the way of Allah) is a martyr; he who dies of the plague (in the way of Allah) is a martyr; he who dies of cholera (in the way of Allah) is a martyr.”
A woman was found among the killed in one of the battled of the Prophet. So the Messenger of Allah forbade the killing of women and children.

I hope you are coping well Massy. It riles me up watching the news these days. My heart bleeds for the children especially. It's so clear that it is terribly un-Islamic to do what they did, if muslims were the ones responsible for all this nonsense. Very very very sad ...
I echo Nazrah. Sakit hati asyik dok dengar that they are pointing it to the Muslims. Although what is happening in the Muslims' world is not even a small fraction of what happen in London or NY, but it is still no excuse for them to bomb or hurt anyone. I hope all of you are OK,
Nazrah: I'm coping okay, Alhamdulillah! Can't help but cried everytime I read about it over the newspaper.
AuntyN: Sigh! Betul kata you AuntyN! It's really annoying and frustrating to hear them saying all those things! We just hope that the truth will be out!
