Deodorant And Anti-Perspirant Dangers - Do You Know What You're Putting Under Your Armpits?
Deodorant and anti-perspirants are used to prevent embarrassing social
situations. Naturally, smelling nice is part of good personal hygiene.
Most deodorants and anti-perspirants contain aluminium, parabens and propylene glycol. There are growing links between the chemicals found in such products and chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's and breast cancer.
aluminium is widely used and you may not be aware of the level of contact with aluminium. It is in anti-perspirants and deodorants. It is in soft drink cans (made of aluminium). It can also be found in medicine such as "buffered aspirins" and is used for many cooking utensils.
In deodorants and anti-perspirants it comes in the form of aluminium chloride or aluminium sulphate, it helps to stop you from sweating. However, sweating is an extremely important function of the body and it serves the purpose of maintaining the body temperature as well as eliminating toxins.
So the idea of stopping perspiration is in opposition to the body's natural health maintaining system. It makes no sense to "stop" perspiration since perspiration is a vital function.

Imaam Al-Shaafi'ee on the Importance of Learning Medicine
Chapter: Regarding the Encouragement of Teaching medicine His (alayhis salaatu was-salaam's) saying, "Allaah did not send down a disease except that it has a cure" has already preceded. We say: This (hadeeth) necessitates the mobilization the people's [lofty] concerns [for medicine] and incitement of (their) determinations to learn medicine. And it has already preceded that medicine is a skill. Imaam al-Shaafi'ee said, "I don't know of a knowledge more noble than medicine after the halaal and haraam." And he used to be concerned (and grieved) over what the Muslims had neglected of medicine, and he would say, "They have neglected one third of knowledge and have entrusted it to the Jews and Christians." And he used to say, "Indeed the Ahl al-Kitaab have dominated us with respect to medicine." And al-Shaafi'ee, alongside his greatness in the knowledge of the Sharee'ah, and his great skill in Arabic was also insightful in medicine. The writer (i.e. al-Dhahabi) says: And I have seen our Shaykh, Shaykh Ibraaheem al-Raqiyy to be insightful in medicine, and likewise our Shaykh, Shaykh Taqi al-Din Ibn Taymiyyah, and Shaykh Imaad al-Din al-Waasitee (rahimahullaau ta'aalaa) [were insightful in medicine]. Hippocrates and others have said, "Medicine is inspired by Allaah," and Hippocrates is the chief of this discipline. His school of thought regarding it is the sound, correct school of thought. He was followed therein by Galen who is the leading scholar of this discipline as well, and both of them are venerated a great deal by the physicians.

Garlic, Honey and Apple Cider Vinegar: Must Have Excellent Home Remedy
The apple cider vinegar must be unfiltered and the honey must be raw, unpasteurised (and preferably organic) honey for all the benefits to be realised. One of the main reasons honey
is pasteurised is to speed up the packaging process (heating makes it
flow much quicker) - so pretty much all honeys from supermarkets will be
unsuitable. This remedy is an immune stimulant, it lowers blood pressure as well as cholesterol (if you are someone who still believes in that hypothesis), it leads to fewer colds and infections, and is helpful in conditions such as gout, arthritis, and joint aches. It is also a good tonic for the digestive tract and benefits the skin, and is helpful in weight loss. In short, it is beneficial for a wide range of conditions as it is a general immune stimulant and enhancer. You can read the numerous articles on garlic, honey and vinegar elsewhere on this site.

10 Things that May Get Extinct Within Our Lives
We list some of the things that might get extinct in our own lives. Our off springs would be told about them but hopefully they would not get to see them in real. Whether these changes are good or bad depends in part on how we adapt to them. But, ready or not, here they come
1. Post office
A post office is the head quarter where all the postal services are dealt with. These services, given by the government for the citizens, include posting, receipt, transmission or delivery of mail. In olden days, post was the prime method of communication between two distant entities. Due to the advancement in electronic media and the advantages it gives, the usage of postage is already at a low. And since the mail is being discouraged (and emails making their way) soon it will be thought that post offices should be discontinued and the space and the man power should be used elsewhere.

"PARADISE IS AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHERS"
The teachings of the Holy Qur'an for the Child to follow during his life
is: "Your Lord (Allah) has ordained that you should worship none except
Him and show kindness to parents. If one of them or both of them attain
to old age with you, say not 'Fie' unto them nor reproach them but
speak to them a gracious word. And lower unto them the wing of
submission through mercy (defer humbly to them out of tenderness) and
pray: My Lord, have mercy on them both as they nurtured me when I was
little." (Qur'an 17:23-24)"And we (Allah) have enjoined upon man (to be good) to his parents: His mother bears him in weakness upon weakness.." Qur'an 31:14)
"We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth.." (Qur'an 46:59)

The story of a beautiful woman-”Just go, there is nothing wrong with this marriage”
There
was this beautiful woman, who wanted to get married, but she wanted a
very pious husband, so she said that she’ll marry the man who recites the whole Quran every single day, fasts for the whole year and stays awake and worships Allah all throughout the night.
She was a very beautiful woman,
and a lot of suitors wanted to marry her, but they knew they couldn’t
fulfil the conditions she set. Until this one man stepped forward and
said he could fulfil them. So the Imam got both of them married.
After the first night of the marriage, the
wife sees that the husband doesn’t recite the whole of the Quran, nor
does he fast, nor does he stay awake in the worship of Allah, she
decided to let it roll on for a few weeks to see if there were any
changes, there weren’t, so she filed a complaint and asked for a
divorce.
They are both taken in front of the judge, and the judge asked, ‘What were the conditions of the marriage?’ the man replied ‘They were for me to recite the whole Quran daily, keep fast for the whole year and to worship Allah all throughout the night.’
The Judge asked, ‘ did you fulfil them?
The man calmly answered, ‘…yes.’
The judge answers, ‘you lie, your wife has said that you don’t, that’s why she’s asking for a divorce’.
But the man insisted that he had fulfilled the conditions, so the judge asked, ‘did you recite the full Quran everyday?’
The man answered yes.
The Judge, baffled asked, ‘how? How can you do that?’
The man coolly answered, ‘I
recite Surah Ikhlas three times a day and according to Prophet Muhammad
(saw), reciting Surah Ikhlas three times is equivalent to reciting the
whole Quran.’
[Hadith
Narrated
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: A man heard another man reciting:
Surat-ul-Ikhlas (The Unity) 'Say: He is Allah, the One (112) and he was
repeating it. The next morning he came to Allah's Apostle and mentioned
the whole story to him as if he regarded the recitation of that Sura as
insufficient On that, Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my
soul is! That (Sura No. 112) equals one-third of the Qur'an." Bukhari
(Book #78, Hadith #638)]

Do names effect the child’s character?
Names do not have any effect on the child’s character or personality, except that the meaning of the name would inspire him, when he grows old enough to understand its meaning and indication. A good and pleasant name would motivate the person to do good acts and inspire him strength and honor, since he is repeatedly called by it.
For example, if the child is named ‘Abdullah‘ meaning ‘a slave of Allah‘; his name will make him realize and keep him aware of his servitude to Allah. He will understand his true role and the purpose of life. Likewise, if he is named after the Khalifah Uthmaan Ibn Affan; the character, qualities and actions of Uthmaan Ibn Affan (radhiyallahu anhu) would influence him. It might even lead him to perform actions, which befit his name and prevent those, which conflict its character. Similar is the case with unpleasant names, which denote bad qualities and actions. A bad name might even provoke the person to do evil!!
Before you decide a name for your child, it is good to consider some important details. Know that the name, which you decide for your child will stay with him all through his life, therefore the name you choose should not embarrass or humiliate his personality.
You should bear in mind the different stages of life and give him a name which would sound good as a child, a youth, an adult, a father, etc. and how it would suit the father to be called as, ‘Abu foolan’ meaning, ‘Father of so and so.’ Because a name which causes embarrassment or discomfort might be a cause of bad feelings of the child towards his parents.

Islamic Reflections
Narrated Abu Huraira(r.a.) :
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said,
“The best charity is that which is practiced by a wealthy person. And start giving first to your dependents.”
Bukhari (Book #24, Hadith #507)
I wish my patients could see what I see
Drsonnet Sonnet Cardiology specialist
So, what is
it that I see? I see a 30-year old diabetic who is overweight and out
of shape. His blood pressure is high, his cholesterol is high and he is
high on life with his family and work. He has no time to take care of
himself. He does not respect diabetes. He doesn’t fear it. He will
take care of it “one day.” I know what’s coming. I can see his future.

THE MOSQUE-ITS UNDERESTIMATE USE
by mthago
When the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w reached Quba on his historic journey to Medina, he stopped for some days in Quba. During the few days he was in Quba the Prophet s.a.w built a mosque and when he reached Medina, among the first thing that he did, he build a mosque which was later named as the Prophet mosque. Prophet s.a.w bought the lands from two orphans and together with the Sahabah, the Prophet s.a.w built the mosque. The mosque was a simple mosque with the pillars of the mosques was made from the trunk of the date trees and the roofs were made from date leaves. Although the mosque was simple but the mosques are full of activities twenty four hours daily. We have to make the activities in our mosques like the activities of the Prophet mosques at the time of the Prophet s.a.w. The activities that were carried out in the Prophet mosque have to be followed by Muslims until doomsday. The actions of the Prophet s.a.w have clearly indicated to us that the activities that are carried out in the mosque are more important than the building of the mosque. The building is like the body but the activities of the mosque are like the soul and the minds of the body. Without the correct activities carried out in the mosque, the mosque will be just like a body without soul and mind. In other words the mosque is like a dead body. What is important is the soul of the mosque, which is the activities that are carried out in the mosque, like the activities carried out at the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w

The First Mosques
According to Islamic beliefs, the first mosque in the world was the Kaaba, whose existing foundation was raised up by Abraham, assisted by his son Ismail, upon an order from God. The site of the Kaaba is also believed to be the place where a tent was erected by angels for Adam and Eve to use for worship. The oldest mosque built by Muslims is the Quba Mosque in Medina. When Muhammad lived in Mecca, he viewed Kaaba as his first and principal mosque and performed prayers there together with his followers.
Even during times when the pagan Arabs performed their rituals inside the Kaaba, Muhammad always held the Kaaba in very high esteem. The Meccan tribe of Quraish, which was responsible for guarding Kaaba, attempted to exclude Muhammad’s followers from the sanctuary, which became a subject of Muslim complaints recorded in the Qur’an. When Muhammad conquered Mecca in 630, he converted Kaaba to a mosque, which has since become known as the Masjid al-Haram, or Sacred Mosque. The Masjid al-Haram was significantly expanded and improved in the early centuries of Islam in order to accommodate the increasing number of Muslims who either lived in the area or made the annual Hajj, or pilgrimage, to Mecca, before it acquired its present shape in 1577 in the reign of the Ottoman sultan Selim II.
The first thing Muhammad did upon arriving with his followers near Medina (then named Yathrib) after the emigration from Mecca in 622 was build the Quba Mosque in a village outside Medina. Muslims believe he stayed at the Quba Masjid for three days before moving on to Medina.
Just days after beginning work on the Quba Mosque, Muhammad went on to establish another masjid in Medina, known today as the Masjid al-Nabawi, or the “prophet’s” Masjid. The location of the mosque was declared as such after it hosted Muhammad’s first Friday prayer. Following its establishment, the Masjid al-Nabawi continued to introduce some of the practices now considered common in today’s mosques. For example, the adhan, or call to prayer, was developed in the form still used in masjids today. The Masjid al-Nabawi was built with a large courtyard, a motif common among mosques built since then. Muhammad would stand up at one end of the arcade to preach. Later on, he would develop a three-step pulpit as a platform from which he would give sermons. The pulpit, now known as a minbar, is still a common feature of masjids.
