a Prosperous Life
I would like to invite you to islam ,i know it`s weird to recieve such a mail from somone you don`t know, but actually it`s important that each person on the planet of earth to receive the universal message, & the last one, which is islam.
i know that you may have some doubts about islam , or maybe you never thought about it, but actually when you discover the beauty of that message, which isn`t only a religion or faith to have it in the heart, it`s a daily practicing thing, that you can`t stop thinking of.
it doesn`t prevent you from doing your usual
things, on the contrary, it does encourage you to keep practicing them , & not preventing yourself from anything, only prevents you from doing things that may harm you or harm others.
also ,the entertainment activities you like to practice, may cause you to gain a reward by doing them, because it simply releases your energy & directs you towards positive things, & prevents you from negative things.
islam does make you fulfill all aspects of life , your spirit, your body & your mind. it does not give one side a priority over the other , each is important, & each must be taking care of.
hope that you would give it a thought, i`m really looking forward to receive your reply, & i`m willing to answer any doubt you have in mind about islam (by the will of god)

What is your purpose in life? What is the rationale behind our life?
Why do we live in this life? These questions frequently intrigue people
who try to find accurate answers.
People provide different answers to these questions. Some people
believe the purpose of life is to accumulate wealth. But one may
wonder: What is the purpose of life after one has collected colossal
amounts of money? What then? What will the purpose be once money is
gathered? If the purpose of life is to gain money, there will be no
purpose after becoming wealthy. And in fact, here lies the problem of
some disbelievers or misbelievers at some stage of their life, when
collecting money is the target of their life. When they have collected
the money they dreamt of, their life loses its purpose. They suffer
from the panic of nothingness and they live in tension and
restlessness.
Can Wealth Be an Aim?
We often hear of a millionaire committing suicide, sometimes, not the
millionaire himself but his wife, son, or daughter. The question that
poses itself is: Can wealth bring happiness to one’s life? In most
cases the answer is NO. Is the purpose of collecting wealth a standing
purpose? As we know, the five-year old child does not look for wealth:
a toy for him is equal to a million dollars. The eighteen-year old
adolescent does not dream of wealth because he is busy with more
important things. The ninety-year old man does not care about money; he
is worried more about his health. This proves that wealth cannot be a
standing purpose in all the stages of the individual's life.
Wealth can do little to bring happiness to a disbeliever, because
he/she is not sure about his fate. A disbeliever does not know the
purpose of life. And if he has a purpose, this purpose is doomed to be
temporary or self destructive.
What is the use of wealth to a disbeliever if he feels scared of the
end and skeptical of everything. A disbeliever may gain a lot of money,
but will surely lose himself.
Worshipping Allah as an Aim
On the contrary, faith in Allah gives the believer the purpose of life
that he needs. In Islam, the purpose of life is to worship Allah. The
term "Worship" covers all acts of obedience to Allah.
The Islamic purpose of life is a standing purpose. The true Muslim
sticks to this purpose throughout all the stages of his life, whether
he is a child, adolescent, adult, or an old man.
Worshipping Allah makes life purposeful and meaningful, especially
within the framework of Islam. According to Islam this worldly life is
just a short stage of our life. Then there is the other life. The
boundary between the first and second life is the death stage, which is
a transitory stage to the second life. The type of life in the second
stage a person deserves depends on his deeds in the first life. At the
end of the death stage comes the day of judgment. On this day, Allah
rewards or punishes people according to their deeds in the first life.
The First Life as an Examination
So, Islam looks at the first life as an examination of man. The death
stage is similar to a rest period after the test, i. e. after the first
life. The Day of Judgment is similar to the day of announcing the
results of the examinees. The second life is the time when each
examinee enjoys or suffers from the outcome of his behavior during the
test period.
In Islam, the line of life is clear, simple, and logical: the first
life, death, the Day of Judgment, and then the second life. With this
clear line of life, the Muslim has a clear purpose in life. The Muslim
knows he is created by Allah. Muslims know they are going to spend some
years in this first life, during which they have to obey God, because
God will question them and hold them responsible for their public or
private deeds, because Allah knows about all the deeds of all people.
The Muslim knows that his deeds in the first life will determine the
type of second life they will live in. The Muslim knows that this first
life is a very short one, one hundred years, more or less, whereas the
second life is an eternal one.
The Eternity of the Second Life
The concept of the eternity of the second life has a tremendous effect
on a Muslims during their first life, because Muslims believe that
their first life determines the shape of their second life. In
addition, this determines the shape of their second life and this
determination will be through the Judgment of Allah, the All just and
Almighty.
With this belief in the second life and the Day of Judgment, the
Muslim's life becomes purposeful and meaningful. Moreover, the Muslim's
standing purpose is to go to Paradise in the second life.
In other words, the Muslim's permanent purpose is to obey Allah, to
submit to Allah, to carry out His orders, and to keep in continues
contact with Him through prayers (five times a day), through fasting
(one month a year), through charity (as often as possible), and through
pilgrimage (once in one's life).
The Need for a Permanent Purpose
Disbelievers have purposes in their lives such as collecting money and
property, indulging in sex, eating, and dancing. But all these purposes
are transient and passing ones. All these purposes come and go, go up
and down. Money comes and goes. Health comes and goes. Sexual
activities cannot continue forever. All these lusts for money, food and
sex cannot answer the individual's questions: so what? Then What?
However, Islam saves Muslims from the trouble of asking the question,
because Islam makes it clear, from the very beginning, that the
permanent purpose of the Muslim in this life is to obey Allah in order
to go to Paradise in the second life.
We should know that the only way for our salvation in this life and in
the hereafter is to know our Lord who created us, believe in Him, and
worship Him alone..
We should also know our Prophet whom Allah had sent to all mankind,
believe in Him and follow Him. We should, know the religion of truth
which our Lord has commanded us to believe in, and practice it …

Equality Between Men and Women in Islam
Islam establishes the principle
of equality between men and women in all aspects of life that they are
equal in, because both of them are equally human. It does however
distinguishes between them in some areas, taking into consideration the
natural differences between them and the special qualities that each of
them has.
Equality between men and women in Islam is derived from the following considerations: 1. Equality in their human origins: Islam
conclusively establishes that all human beings have a common origin.
This fact is mentioned in many verses of the Qur’ân:
- O Mankind, fear your Lord who created you from a single soul and
created from it its mate and brought forth from the two of them many
men and women.
- O Mankind, verily we created you from a male and a female and made
you into nations and tribes so you may know one another. Verily the
most honorable of you with Allah are the most righteous.
2. Equality in their common destiny:
Islam also establishes that all of mankind is going to return to
Allah who created them, and everyone – male and female – is going to be
recompensed for his or her worldly deeds. They will receive well if
they did good and they will be requited with evil if they did evil.
Allah says:
- And every one of you will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection.
- A human being will have nothing except for what he does. And his deeds will be seen. Then he will be recompensed fully.
- So their Lord accepted of them their supplication and answered
them: ‘I will never allow the work of any of you to be lost, male or
female. You are from each other.
- Whoever works righteousness as a believer, whether male or female,
we will truly give a good life and We shall pay them a reward in
proportion to the best of what they used to do.
The Shocking Supermarket Secret That Is Costing You Money!
If you are looking to slash all your expenses by 75% then you found the right
place! This is how the television show began. The company has a website at
http://expenseeliminator.com I thought it was very interesting and decided to
check it out. I am very skeptical by nature so the first thing I did was check
out the company. I contacted the Better Business Bureau and found that the
company has had no complaints lodged against them, I also contacted Paypal who
has verified this company. They told me that they verified the company's
licenses, bank accounts and other paperwork indicating to them that the company
is legitimate. Then I started asking co-workers and friends about this program
and to my surprise 6 out of the 10 people that I spoke with were already using
this program. They told me how pleased they were with it and how much money they
had saved and are currently saving. So I decided to sign up for this program on
3/9/09. On 3/16/09 I received my complete membership package and the fun began.
Using their program and the free lifetime membership that it includes I went to
the supermarket ready to make a killing. The cashier rang up my grocery bill and
it came out to $239.87 then I presented her with the coupons I received from
this program and I saved $223.38 - my final bill was only 16.49! The cashier
wasn't the only one shocked!
I hope you don’t mind receiving my letter. It is short but full of information
Does Islam tolerate other beliefs?.
The Quran says: God forbids you not, with regards to those who fight you not for [your] faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them; for God loveth those who are just. (Quran, 60.8)
It is one function of Islamic law to protect the privileged status of minorities, and this is why non-Muslim places of worship have flourished all over the Islamic world. History provides many examples of Muslim tolerance towards other faiths: when the caliph Omar entered Jerusalem in the year 634, Islam granted freedom of worship to all religious communities in the city.
Islamic law also permits non-Muslim minorities to set up their own courts, which implement family laws drawn up by the minorities themselves.
When the caliph Omar took Jerusalem from the Byzantine, he insisted on entering the city with only a small number of his companions. Proclaiming to the inhabitants that their lives and property were safe, and that their places of worship would never be taken from them, he asked the Christian patriarch Sophronius to accompany him on a visit to all the holy places.
The Patriarch invited him to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, but he preferred to pray outside its gates, saying that if he accepted, later generations of Muslims might use his action as an excuse to turn it into a mosque. Above is the mosque built on the spot where Omar did pray.
According to Islam, man is not born in ‘original sin’. He is God’s vicegerent on earth. Every child is born with the fitra, an innate disposition towards virtue, knowledge, and beauty. Islam considers itself to be the ‘primordial religion’, din al-hanif, it seeks to return man to his original, true nature in which he is in harmony with creation, inspired to do good, and confirming the Oneness of God.

The Unique Qur’an
Unique features of the Holy Qur’an
1) Revealed in Arabic - The Qur’an was revealed in Arabic. Arabic is still a living language spoken by more than 200 million people around the world. Most of the other languages of scriptures like Aramaic, Greek, Sanskrit, etc are either dead, hardly used as a tongue or pushed to some corner of university studies. Arabic has survived in the same form miraculously for more than 1400 years. A language undergoes dramatic changes every 400 years. For e.g English during Shakespearean times was completely different from the way it is spoken today. That was just 300 years back, but Arabic has survived for a much longer period.
2) Free from Inconsistencies – The Qur’an is the only religious scripture in the world that is completely free from both external and internal Inconsistency. All the religious scriptures whose followers claim to be revealed from God suffer from inconsistencies and contradictions..
3) Compatible with Modern Science – The Qur’an is the only religious scripture in the world that is completely compatible with modern established scientific facts. Most of the scientific facts mentioned in the Qur’an, which was revealed more than 1400 years have been discovered by man only in the past 100 years.
4) Prophecies – All prophecies that are mentioned in the Qur’an have come to pass as exactly described in the Qur’an.
5) Memorization – Atleast a million people around the world have memorized The Qur’an cover to cover in its original language, most of whose native tongue is not even Arabic. There is no scripture in this world that can make such a claim. Most people who have memorized a few chapters in their holy scripture do so in a language that is not the Original language of the scripture.
6) One Version – The Qur’an has been preserved in its original complete form since it was completely revealed without even a full stop moving from its place. This is a unique miraculous feature of the Qur’an, made more amazing by the fact that God in the Qur’an promises to guard it from corruption and even after 1400 years it is exactly preserved as the way it was before. Most other scriptures have been altered over time.
7) Revelation – The Qur’an’s revelation history has been recorded and preserved more or less accurately by historians. The history contains the time of revelation, place of revelation and the situation during which the chapters were revealed and other such data. Most of the scriptures that claim to be revealed don’t have the recorded history of how and when the scripture and its chapters were revealed. The followers of such scriptures blindly claim it to be from God only on faith.
Chronology – The ordering of the chapters in the Qur’an do not correspond to the chronology of the revelations as received by the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) i.e. the first chapter in the Qur’an is not the first revelation that the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) received and this is further proof (for people of intellect) of the fact that the Qur’an is not written by man.
