Summary of Khutbah written by Sis. Staci Brody / Florida USA


Staci Brody

Dear Readers,As we approach thecoming months ofRamadan and Dhu al-Hijjah, it is importantfor us to recognizeand prioritize our du-

ties to Allah SWT. Although it is easy tofall into the habit of spending our timetrying to obtain merely transient success,it is necessary that we also take the timeto reflect on how our conduct and ac-tions will contribute to our success notonly in this world, but also in the hereaf-ter. One of the most profound ways wecan realize Allah SWT’s mercy is throughthe execution of good deeds. Allah SWTsays in the Holy Quran, “And those whobelieve and do righteous good deeds, theyare dwellers of paradise, they will dwelltherein forever” (2: 82). Keeping this inmind, it is essential to understand that itdoes not matter what your status, goodor bad, may be in this world, but rather,when it comes to death, the only mementoof worth that any of us will bring to thegrave with us will be the good deeds in

which we performed. The five pillars ofIslam (declaration of faith, prayer, char-ity, fasting, and pilgrimage) are amongthe most sublime actions any human be-ing can fulfill during their lifetime. TheHajj (pilgrimage) is such a substantial actthat it actually removes the sins of theperformer and cleanses one so much that,SubhanAllah, after performing Hajj,Prophet Muhammad SAW says that it islike the pilgrim becomes as pure as a new-born baby. With the potential to receivethis extraordinary blessing, it comes as asurprise that some Muslims choose notto perform Hajj, as instructed by AllahSWT. In the Holy Quran (3:97), Allahsays, “And [due] to Allah from the peopleis a pilgrimage to the House - for who-ever is able to find thereto a way. Butwhoever disbelieves - then indeed, Allahis free from need of the worlds.” Thisverse has a two-fold meaning. First itaddresses whom the pilgrimage is obliga-tory for, which is those who have theability (health and financial means), andnext it declares the self-sufficiency ofGod. Therefore, if you have the resourcesand the health to perform Hajj, then you

should not procrastinate to do so. Goingback to the unpredictability of life anddeath discussed earlier, it is crucial to re-alize that to die without performing Hajj,when you had the ability to do so (ac-cording to the Hadith) is like dying as a“Jew or Christian”. This is not meant asan insult to either religion, but rather apoint to be made that although Jews,Christians, and Muslims are all People ofthe Book, and all technically perform thefirst four pillars of Islam, Muslims arethe only people Allah SWT commandedto perform Hajj, as a requirement of theirreligion. For this reason, do not simplymake the intention to perform Hajj in yourlifetime, but rather make it a priority be-cause there is a chance you could fall ill,lose your wealth, or have some other dif-ficulty in the future which prevents youto go. Lastly, in the world today Islam isbeing attacked from many angles. It isour responsibility as Muslims, more thanever, to spread the proper message ofIslam to others who are misguided aboutIslam’s true message.

‘The four Sunni Schools of law hold Ijma’to be a valid source of laws not only uponthe authority of the above texts, but alsoon the unanimity of opinion to that effectamong the Companions. The Shafi’ is andthe Malikis recognize the authority of Ijma’

IJMA IS AN ESSENTIALPRINCIPLE OF JURISPRUDENCE

not merely in matters of law and religion but also in other mat-ters such as organization of the army, preparations for war andother questions of executive administration. Ijma is an essen-tial and characteristic principle of jurisprudence, one upon whichthe Muhammadan community acted as soon as they were leftto their own resources and were called upon to solve the firstand most important constitutional problem that arose on HolyProphet’s departure from this mortal world, namely, the selec-tion of the spiritual and executive head of the community. Theelection of Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) to the Caliphate by the votesof the people was based, as is well known, on the principle ofIjma’.

SOME SHI’AHS KHARJIS AND NAZZAM DONOT RECOGNISE THIS SOURCE OF LAW

Among the Shi’ahs some jurists hold that questions relating tothe Shari’at cannot be authoritatively determined by mere con-sensus of opinion, while other Shi’ah jurists, though admittingthe authority of Ijma’ base it on a presumption that, when theMujtahids agree in a certain view, they voice the opinion of theinvisible Imam. Nazzam and some among the Kharijis also dis-pute the validity of the doctrine.

ARGUMENT IN SUPPORT OF IJMAIt is not necessary to set out all the arguments on which theSunni doctors rely in support of Ijma, but one principle argu-ment of theirs may be thus stated. In a Qur’anic text alreadycited, it is laid down that God has completed the Islamic reli-gion, and it is also laid down that it will last for ever, and thatProphet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was the last of theProphets. In the Qur’an, however, only a few rules of lawhave been enunciated, and these are by no means sufficient tocover the numerous questions that arise from day to day. If weadd to this the fact that the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him)his departed, and we can no longer have his guidance, it neces-sarily follows that any rule of law, which is not found to beexplicitly laid down in the Qur’an or by the precepts of theHoly Prophet (Peace be upon him), must be capable of beingdeduced from them. It further follows that, as the learned aloneare competent to make such deductions, their concurrent opinionon any question must be of valid authority and it must also beinfallible, since truth is one according to Islam and all besidesis error.

only reality is fear and hatred. Read about “Muslims in America”and one would think that the current presidential election isabout ethnic cleansing of Muslims. But that’s not where I stopreading. I delve further. I read not only the headlines but thestories that are buried, because that is where we can find ar-ticles about good things happening between people. Becausethe majority of the world’s Muslims and Jews recognize thathuman beings are God’s creatures first. Whether we agreewith each other or not on religion, theology, politics—no onedenies we are ultimately all brothers and sisters in the eyes ofGod. Begin with the crisis in Syria. There are calls for govern-ments to lead the alleviation of suffering of Syrian civilian, andcounter-calls to ban them because of a fear of terrorism. Butlet’s start with the community of Montreal. This past Decem-ber there was a joint effort between the Muslim and Jewishcommunities of that city. We find a photo of a rabbi and thelocal president of a Muslim community organization leadingthe effort. For almost a decade the Foundation for Ethnic Un-derstanding has been active in Montreal in interfaith dialogue.Dialogue is good, but action is better. Those years of dialogueled to a joint campaign in which tens of thousands of dollarswere raised by the Jewish and Muslim communities in Montrealto help Syrian refugees directly. This past November OrthodoxRabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz hosted a Syrian refugee family in hishome in Phoenix for Thanksgiving. It is one thing to offer fi-nancial assistance and community support. But this rabbibrought this refugee Syrian family into the most private space—his personal home, and hosted this family with his own. RabbiYanklowitz has been worried about the fear pervading ourcountry’s attitude towards Muslims and took a major publicstep to tell the world and this nation that now is the time towelcome Muslims into our country and into our homes. Andtake European anti-Semitism. Read the mainstream media andthere is a war going on in Europe that has filtered over intorelations between Jews and Muslims, and that Jews are afraidof Muslim violence. Yet we find that last year in Norway whenthe Jewish community was worried after an attack that hadtaken place, Muslims in Oslo visited the synagogue and createda human wall of protection of the synagogue.

Mother’s Day is a modern celebration honoring one’s mother,as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence ofmothers in society. It is undoubtedly a beneficial and effectivereminder for us to put aside an entire day to thank and remem-ber our mothers. In essence, Mother’s Day should be everyday, in reality, most of us do not treat our mothers with theutmost respect, love, kindness and honor every day of her life.We do not thank her every day, we do not buy her gifts everyday, we do not understand how hard it is for her to manage anentire home and household every day, we may fret at her rulesand her advice, we may be upset with her for the controls shehas in place for us, we may be bordering on disrespect the waywe talk to her. Then later in life we become parents and manyof her words of wisdom, comes full circle right back to howwe manage the upbringing of our children. A few weeks ago,a teenager wrote down her feelings to her mother who hadpassed away suddenly at the age of 41. This is what she wrote:I thought my life was difficult and that I always felt hurt in-side. But to lose my mother now I really understand the mean-ing of what pain is. Mom, I know we bumped heads a lot andI know we said hurtful things to each other and it felt like atone point we just couldn’t stand to look at each other, butmommy I know you are there and I just want you to know Ilove you and I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you in the hospital. Ifailed you as a daughter! I should’ve been there to hold yourhand and say goodbye! I want to be mad that you left me likethat, but I can’t because I know you had a lot of pain insideand I know I should’ve been the eldest daughter and hold yourhand and I’m so sorry I failed you; I’m scared . I feel like Ican’t do this alone. I want to be by you. I want to be with you,a world without you just doesn’t feel right.

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers & Sisters:Allah (SWT) says in His noble Qur’aan: “And We have enjoinedupon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried himwith hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gesta-tion and weaning [period] is thirty months. [He grows] until,when he reaches maturity and reaches [the age of] forty years, hesays, “My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which Youhave bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righ-teousness of which You will approve and make righteous for memy offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am ofthe Muslims.”

JUSTICE SEEKING FOLLOWERSOF THE JUST LEADER

Throughout history, people alwayssought justice. It goes back to the timeof Cain and Abel. Today, the presenceof a developed awareness of justice anda conscientious legal system is seen as ameasure of the civilization of a society.Those who think that they cannot findjustice in their countries resort to inter-national courts. But, amidst this intense

search for justice, can everyone find what they are lookingfor? At the moment, the answer to this question is ‘no’. How-ever, there was a time in the past when justice was fully lived.Prophet Mohammed (saas) was a just leader and his justicecontinues to illuminate our path even today. For Muslims, do-ing justice no matter what is a religious duty, as being just isone of the basic commandments in the Qur’an. Needless tosay, Prophet Mohammed (saas) was the one that displayed thisjustice in the best way possible. Prophet Mohammed (saas),after having arrived in Medina, instilled love and brotherhoodin people’s hearts. His practices in Madina are especially im-portant in that they prove that people of different religious,ethnic and racial backgrounds can live happily and peacefullytogether. One of the greatest evidence of Prophet Mohammed’s(saas) quality as a caller to peace and love was the fact that thefirst text he dictated was a peace agreement. Following theconquest of Mecca by our Prophet, he released even thosepagans that had previously tortured Muslims and showed greatcompassion to them. This lofty character was unprecedentedin Arabian society and was deeply admired and appreciated.For this reason, no matter to what society or race they be-longed to, the Companions of Prophet Mohammed (saas), werealways a just community as mentioned in the verse 7/181:‘Among those We have created there is a community whoguide by the Truth and act justly according to it.’ The Consti-tution of Medina dictated by Prophet Mohammed (saas) - andwhich was the first constitution in Islamic history - is first andforemost a perfect example of a democratic and pluralisticconstitution. Today, no modern constitution has been able toachieve the order reminiscent of that of the Constitution ofMedina and none have put it into practice like ProphetMohammed (saas) did. With this text, Prophet Mohammed(saas), introduced a level of unmatched democracy and peaceto the Arab peninsula. According to this constitution, all thesocieties of Medina would live together in peace, practice theirlives in line with their own religions and faiths, have their owninstitutions and laws and would have the power to enforce andpractice them.


Whosoever Has AttainedFour Qualities

Will be Successful in this World

1. Ibn Abbaas Muttalib (RA) relates thatthe holy Prophet SAW said, “Whosoeveraccepted Allaah as the Provider, Islam asa way of life and Muhammad as the mes-

senger, tasted the real Imaan (faith) (Muslim)2. Abu Darda (RA) relates that the Prophet SAW said, “On theday of judgment, the heaviest item on the scale of deeds will begood manners”. (Abu Dawood)3. Amama (RA) relates that someone asked the Prophet SAW,“what is Imaan?” The Prophet SAW replied, “when you arepleased by doing a good deed and sad by a bad deed, you havebecome a momin. (Ahmad)4. Amama (RA) relates that the Prophet SAW stated, “whoso-ever loves someone for Allaah, becomes someone’s enemy forAllaah, and gave away things for Allaah and them prohibitedsome for Allaah, has attained complete Imaan (faith). (AbuDawood)5. Anas (RA) relates that the one who has tasted real Imaan,will have three features: He will have the love for Allaah and theMessenger SAW more than anything else; whoever he/she loveswill only be for Allaah; and he/she abhors to be a non-believerjust as he/she will avoid being thrown in the fire. (agreed upon)6. Ibn Abbaas (RA) relates that the Prophet SAW said, “who-soever has attained four qualities will be successful in this worldand the hereafter; A thankful heart; A tongue that is alwaysbusy remembering Allaah; Patience in time of adversity; and awife who is faithful to him about herself and his wealth.(Mishkaat)7. Abu Huraira (RA) related that the Prophet SAW once asked,“Is there anyone who will pay heed to my advise and teachothers?” Abu Huraira (RA) answered the call. The Prophet SAWheld his hand and said, “Stay away from sinning and you willbe salvaged; Be nice to your neighbor and you have become atrue momin; Whatever you desire for yourself, should do thesame for others and you will become a true Muslim; and re-frain from too much laughter and jokes, because then the heartbecomes insensible”. (Tirmizi)

When you love someone, you love them justthe way they are, for who, and what theyare. You don’t try to change them to besomeone or something else, just becauseyou want it your way. You don’t changetheir gender (male to be a female or vice

versa) or adjust their profession (a nurse to be a brain surgeoneven though they’re familiar with the Operation) just becauseyou feel like it or its better off this way. (I’m talking about thenormal logic majority). So why is it any different when it comesto Jesus Christ Peace Be Upon Him? He’s a Man (Not GOD),a Prophet of God (Not son of God), conveyed God’s mes-sage of Monotheism, the same message was delivered byprophets; Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Muhammad (Peace beupon them) just to name a few. You don’t have to believe inwhat I say in this article, I’m only presenting the facts basedon my research. We all know the saying “if you’re in doubtthrough it out”, But I’ll say, “If you’re in doubt Read it out”.The first command Allah God al-mighty give In the Quran (Lasttestament) “Last” because its unaltered status for more than1437 years and its continued in time and existence till the dayof judgement. The first word in the first revealed verse to ourilliterate beloved prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is Read “Read,in the Name of your Lord who has created (all that exists), hascreated man out of a clot, Read! And your Lord is the MostGenerous. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen, has taughtman that which he knew not” {Al-Alaq1-5}. Not just havefaith and Believe (in the Church’s teaching and/or altered gos-pels written by uncertain authors), Not Listen to what othersare saying (priests, leaders, friends and family), Not Watch(the media spreading biased views), but Read. That’s exactlywhat I did and I encourage you to do your own research andread, to find out where in the original Bible did Jesus (PBUH)himself SAID, “I am god or (God the Son) worship me or I’mthe son of God associate me with God”. The twelve disciplesunderstood Jesus’ teachings and its purpose, and there aren’tany proof or ideas resembling that Jesus called the people toworship or associate him with God. According to the newCatholic Encyclopedia and Encyclopedia Americana both con-firming that the ecumenical councils only admitted the belief inthe trinity in the end of the 4th century. We know only a fewpeople read, for centuries, the church took advantage of thatignorance, and being the only source of information they in-tentionally or unintentionally hide the truth, but now there’s noexcuse. As we all know, not long ago it was very hard to gethonest unblemished information or answers to questions wemight have, but now with the blessing of God everything isavailable in the palm of our hand.

REVEREND’S CORNERBy Rev. Thomas Graf / Professor at BC College, Florida

Rev. Thomas Graf

No doubt we are all still experiencing the “af-tershock” of the travesty that occurred atEmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Churchin Charleston in recent days. Much has beensaid, experienced, felt and perhaps even leftunsaid…but, at the end of the day, where do

SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

we go from here? In the midst of the world’s “aftershock,”perhaps even more “shocking,” were the reactions and wordsshared by those valiant mourners from Charleston. Who willever forget that one challenge, “We have no room for hating,so we have to forgive.” Soren Kierkegaard (Christian Theolo-gian/Philosopher) once wrote, “Life can be understood back-wards, but it must be lived forwards.” So, where do we gofrom here? I believe that Kierkegaard and those tearful mourn-ers offer us the challenge to forgive, to reconcile and to moveforward. Clearly the challenge is to learn from this horrific actof terror, but all is in vain if we cannot move forward in truthand love. As Martin Luther King Jr. stated, “I refuse to acceptthe view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starlessmidnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peaceand brotherhood can never become a reality…I believe thatunarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.The evening those 9 people gathered in Charleston to studyand share Jesus’ unconditional love, a number of our parishio-ners here at St. James the Fisherman Church gathered to con-tinue anew our Theology Topics in the Tropics: small groupdiscussions. Our group decided that evening to dedicate ournext series of discussions to the understanding of becoming acovenanted “Community of the Cross of Nails.” As many areaware, following the destruction of Coventry Cathedral duringthe bombing of the city in November 1940, the people of thatchurch made a commitment not to revenge, but to forgive andbe reconciled. They declared that when the war was over theyshould work with those who were now their enemies, to builda kinder; more Christ-like world. The words “Father Forgive”were inscribed on the wall of the ruined cathedral as a confes-sion of the common human need for God’s mercy. Out of thistravesty during World War II, sprang a movement that is aliveand active today, preaching and living the message of true for-giveness and reconciliation. Is this not where we should gofrom here? “Adversity draws men together and produces beautyand harmony in life’s relationships, just as the cold of winterproduces ice-flowers on the window panes, which vanish withthe warmth.” (Soren Kierkegaard) May this act of terror notflame the fire of vengeance and hate, but somehow be trans-formed into clear and concise actions of forgiveness and rec-onciliation. May we truly be instruments of God’s grace andpeace: “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God;and everyone that loveth is born of God and knowethGod…Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also love oneanother, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.” (1John 4:7, 11-12)

CALL ON ALLAH & COUNT THE BLESSINGS

Allah is indispensable for at all times man isdependant upon Him for his survival. Without Allah,coming to our aid, we will all perish. However, toaccess Allah’s gifts, calls have to be made to Him.The communication line is one-way and accessibleat any time and all that we have to do is to supplicateto the Master above with clasped hands or withforeheads to the ground and make our requests.

-Gains closeness to Allah.-Uplifts yourself from depths of despair.-Fraility in Imaan disappears-Spritual gloss in Islam is enhanced.-Level of optimism in life rises.-The heart gains comfort-Fearlessnes in the pursuit of a greater understanding of Allah gainsmomentum.-Basks in spiritual sunshine all along.-Jannah beckons you.-Your spiritual bulb illumines with a brighter glow.-Disentanglement from any web of confusion concerning the Deen ofIslam is greatly accelerated.-An oasis of love develops in the heart.-The path of Siraatul Mustaqim becomes greatly lit with Allah’s noor.-Allah becomes pleased with one;s spiritual moorings.-There becomes a greater appretiation for Allah’s wonderful works.-Barakaat or blessings flow or decend in unimaginable proportions muchto our delight.-Hurdles in our life are removed and ease is afforded to us.-The greatness of Allah becomes food for greater thought.-No more, hangs the cloud of doom and gloom over us.-New pages in life are frequently turned.-The mind does not mind the jogging of ideas that are islamic in flavor-The heart becomes more nourished with spiritual food.-Allah reads into you but little do you know.-Mountains greater than Everest are climbed by us.-Life treacherous seas that we daily meet become more navigable-Calmness perrades us and-Tears of joy flow onm us like the River Nile.Let us not be tardy in supplicating to Allah. Losses will be numerous ifwe are so inclined. I’ve just mentioned a few of them. Can you justimagine the copious others we would deprive ourselves of ? The time isnot to late to take advantage of the rewards to be gained from makingyour supplications to Allah. START NOW!

Having made our requests, patience has to be exercised. Allah knows ifand when to satisfy the demands of His supplicants and also what quantityhas to be given. In other words, our fate or destiny lies in Allah’s hands.He is the Supreme Being. He dictates the pace of our lives. By makingcontinuous supplications to Allah, a great amount of good is done to us.Blessings come in tangible and intangible ways. Below you will find a listof some of the intangible gains to be derived from the calling of Allah.

EVERYDAYIS

MOTHER’S DAY

My dear sisters and brothers, asmillions of people get ready to cel-ebrate Mother’s Day shortly, I’mpretty sure there are many moth-ers who are looking forward toseeing or hearing from their chil-

By Bro. Al Mustapha / Florida USA

dren who do fortunately make time to spend withthem on a daily or weekly basis; it’s another specialday for them, and they’re pleased with their kids ev-ery day. There are other mothers who are longing tosee their children who are usually too busy with theirjobs and their own family and unfortunately do notvisit or even call them in months. Many Mothers wishthat Mother’s Day was celebrated every single livingday of their lives. They wish they could get the love,kindness, attention, tenderness, the appreciation, thegratitude, the respect, the visits, the phone calls, thecompany and all the assistance they get on Mother’sDay…everyday! The flowers, the gifts, the choco-lates and all that is good but, our love, kindness, re-spect and attention is what parents really crave forand deserve from us daily. My friends, after AllahGod Almighty and then His last Messenger, the mostimportant and special person in our lives must be ourMothers and then our Fathers, every day, not just onMother’s Day or Father’s Day. Why can’t they getthe same love and attention and kindness for the other364 days of the year? Allah tells us in the Holy Quranchapter 17:23 “And your Lord has decreed that youworship none but Him; and that you be dutiful to yourparents. If one or both of them attain old age in yourlifetime, say not to them a word of disrespect, norshout at them, but address them in terms of honor.”These are very strict commands my friends so let usalways fulfill our duties to our parents. For those ofyou who do take good care of your parents, and dotreat them with kindness and compassion, may GodAlmighty reward you all generously in this world andin the hereafter, Ameen. Very sadly though, many chil-dren unfortunately do not show enough patience, love,kindness and humility toward their parents. Sadly,many children are not aware of the many responsi-bilities that we have toward our parents and in par-ticular our Mothers. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) saidmore or less, “Losers are they who do not attain Para-dise (from the Creator) by taking good care of theirparents.”

It is indeed the most painful andsorrowful sight to see and hearchildren both old and young, ill-treating their parents, scoldingand yelling at them, arguing andback answering especially theirMothers almost daily. Myfriends, I remind you and my-self that Allah God Almighty hasindeed prepared great ongoingpunishment both in this life andin the next life for those whoare not kind to their parentswhether they are Muslims ornon- Muslims; especially ourMothers. God Almighty hascommanded us several times inthe Quran, to worship no oneelse but Him, and to be kind toour parents. Just imagine myfriends, look at the extremelyhigh status parents have in thesight of Our Creator Allah(SWT), do we not fear the pun-ishment of our Lord that wetake the chance to be unkind,rude and abusive to our parents?May Allah protect us and ourparents and grant us all guid-ance, Ameen! My friends, AllahGod Almighty knows that it’s notalways easy to be kind and com-passionate and patient with ourmothers and fathers especiallywhen they are older and feeble,for many it is indeed a struggle,but that’s why He placed sucha high priority on us to dig deepinto our souls and find the pa-tience and fortitude and time tobe kind to our parents, and Heplaced that priority right afterour duty towards worshippingHim only. That is also why He,Allah (SWT) gives such greatrewards for taking good care ofour parents, especially ourMothers.

Assalamu Alaikum Brother,My name is Eric D Lozano and I’m currently in the Texas Prison system doing a 15years sentence. I read an old issue of your magazine in 2013, I Don’t know if thismagazine is still up and running Insha’Allah it is. I would like to thank your organiza-tion for what you all have done for Muslims in the many states and pray that Allahblesses your mosque abundantly. The reason for this letter is because I wouldn’tmind receiving your magazine but I am indigent inmate (Muslim). I‘ve been in thedecal for a few years now and I’m striving the best Muslim I can be and strive toeducate and help our fellow Muslim brothers to be successful. If possible, could yousend me an all Arabic Qu’raan. I’m studying the Qur’aanic Arabic and I need it tohelp me along. Thanks and may Allah bless you. I have no family out in the freeworld, so I’m doing this on my own. I would appreciate anything you can do for me.Thanks.

HUMOR


POETRY COLUMNWritten by: Bro. Azad Ali

Chairman of Darul Uloom Institute, Florida USA


HEALTH

Soon it is spring and daffodils will bloomDaisies shall color the green overshadowing

winter's gloom,The corn breast birds will sing in glory

The landscape awakens to show its naturalbeauty........

Life imitates the change of the seasonsDark hair turns grey and haste into reason,

Profound love mellows in affectionateobligation

Experiences mature into wisdom and life'ssolutions......

Every life like seasons is a gift to cherishEnjoy the changes of color with blessed

relish,It is the variance of notes that make sweet

musicLife is not an empty dream it is a gift that is

unique......Oh moving waters of the vast blue ocean

Tell me of life mysteries beneath thy bosom,Poets have written profusely on your hidden

treasureThat life abounds within your world without

measure........The sanctity of life must be revered

No matter the challenges today, tomorrowand ahead,

For life's destiny is already proclaimedLiving life is for the brave and not for the

feigned.......

DEHYDRATIONIN THE

ELDERLY

By Dr. Mohsin JafferPresident of Senior Medical Associates

Dehydration is themost common fluidand electrolytedisturbance among theelderly population.Many unnecessary

hospitalizations are associated withdehydration and the consequences can bedetrimental. The elderly are especially at riskdue to many physiological changes associatedwith age, medications such as diuretics, andother chronic diseases. Diarrhea, blood loss,and excessive sweating can also increasewater loss. Staying hydrated, especially inFlorida’s hot summer weather where thetemperatures can reach close to 100 degrees,is the key to prevention. The body iscomposed of 70% water. Dehydration, ornegative water balance, occurs when morewater is lost than is retained. Negative waterbalance results in a decrease in all secretions.This “drying out” of tissues and organs,including muscles and joints, may also leadto premature aging. Severe dehydration cancause decreased level of consciousness,weak/rapid pulse, low blood pressure,convulsions, and other symptoms. All ofwhich can be life threatening.Causes of dehydration.The primary cause of dehydration in the olderadult is inadequate water intake. As we age,our body becomes less aware of thirst. Ourbodies feel thirst less keenly and our ability tobe aware of thirst becomes blunted. Thisincreases the chances of consuming less waterand consequently suffering from dehydration.Another cause of dehydration in the elderly isdecrease muscle mass. Muscle contains morewater than fat and after age 60 our muscle/fat proportion decreases by 50%. Our kidneyfunction also decreases as we age. This meansthe kidneys become less efficient in removingtoxins, retaining water, and concentratingurine.


FIRST WE ARE ALL GOD’S CREATURESContinued from page 7

You can find a beautiful photo of Mus-lims and Jews standing hand in hand cre-ating a wall of love and a wall of human-ity which they called a ring of peace de-claring that the synagogue was under theprotection of all Norwegians, starting withMuslim leadership. Anti-Semitism, theMuslims declared, is the same thing asIslamophobia. All hatred is the work ofthe evil forces that seek to corrupt hu-manity. Right now the public relations

Submitted by Rabbi Jeffrey

problem relates to Americans’ hostil-ity towards Muslims. Muslims areforced to “prove” their loyalty toAmerica and “prove” that they are notenemies of society. This is outra-geous. Instead, let us publicize thestories of Muslims and Jews helpingeach other and working togetherworldwide to bring peace to our com-munities and holiness back into ourworld.

If we obey Allah and take goodcare of our parents the re-wards are many, and the bestreward we can ever hope foris entrance into Paradise! Re-member, Prophet MuhammadSAW said; “Paradise lies at thefeet of thy Mother”. Myfriends, on the Day of Judg-ment we have to answer toAllah for all our deeds, ourparents have to answer fortheir deeds and we have toanswer for our deeds and re-sponsibilities. We will have toanswer the big question as toif we fulfilled our obligationstoward our parents. Weshould pray and ask God Al-mighty to forgive our parentsfor all their mistakes andshortcomings and we shouldforgive them also. We shouldpray as Allah tells us in theQuran 17:24 to say: “MyLord, Bestow on them (myparents) Your mercy, just asthey cherished me in my child-hood”. Serving and obeyingAllah God Almighty alone andtaking good care of our par-ents despite the many chal-lenges and the many persever-ing times, will ultimately yield

the greatest rewards and willhelp us achieve the lifetimegoal of Paradise. So do notdespair in the mercy of yourLord and do not give up, whilethere is life there is hope, re-pent now and seek Allah’s for-giveness, apologize to Him andto your parents whom youhave abused or ill-treated orneglected and strive to givethem the best care and atten-tion for the rest of their lives,and let us pray for those par-ents who have passed away.If we obey God Almighty andtake good care of our parents,and have good relations withour neighbors and the rest ofAllah’s creation, we will in-deed be well on our way togaining His mercy and HisParadise. May Allah God Al-mighty make us of those whostrive to learn more about Himand of those who are obedi-ent to Him, and kind, lovingand obedient to our parents,and may He make our childrenkind and loving and obedientto Him and then to us, ameen.May Allah protect us all fromthe fire of Hell and grant us allJannatul Firdaus, Ameen.

In the Holy Quran (5:67), Allah tells theProphet SAW, “O Messenger, announcethat which has been revealed to you fromyour Lord, and if you do not, then youhave not conveyed His message. And Al-lah will protect you from the people.” AsMuslims, we cannot be afraid to speakup against evil in the world. In the lastsermon of Prophet Muhammad SAW, hestates, “Be my witness, O ALLAH, that Ihave conveyed your message to yourpeople”. Granted that Prophet MuhammadSAW is the most excellent example wehave of good character and righteousdeeds, we should all strive to make it our

While doing so, they wouldhave to live in peace and unitywith all the other societies inMedina. According to theConstitution of Medina, every-one would be free to maketheir own religious, spiritualpolitical or ideological choices,without any pressure at all.They could also build societ-ies together with people whoshared same views. However,offenders would not be sup-ported no matter what. Theparties would help and supporteach other, and they would beunder the protection ofProphet Mohammed (saas);any disputes between the par-ties would be referred to theMessenger of God. Even thepagans always chose ProphetMohammed’s (saas) judge-ment as he was considered themost just person. This consti-tution, dictated by ProphetMohammed (saas) was appliedfrom 622 until 632 in intervals.With this system, the tribalsystem based on biologicalkinship was overcome andpeople of various cultural,geographical and ethnic back-grounds came together toform a union. It is a fact that

the Constitution of Medina isa quite significant historicaldocument that encompassedthe basics of unity and soli-darity, compassion and love,friendship and peace. It is anexemplary document in that itshows – in practice, not sim-ply theory - how Muslimsshould harmoniously co-existwith their non-Muslim coun-terparts. Although it is difficultto encounter a modern soci-ety that upholds the peacefuland just approach of ProphetMohammed (saas), it is clearthis is what the followers ofthis just leader should do.Muslims, by following the leadof Prophet Mohammed(saas), should show the samejust and compassionate atti-tude towards all human be-ings. These people can beJews, Christians, Buddhists,pagans or even atheists: Nomatter who they are or whatthey believe in, or even if theyare unbelievers, this fair andhonest approach commandedby our Lord will surely createa positive effect on each andevery person, allowing themto have warmer feelings to-wards Islam.

As Muslims, it is essential thatwe remain steadfast in fulfilling our du-ties to Allah SWT. This includes perform-ing good and righteous deeds as well ascompleting the five pillars that have beenordained to us. Only then can we expectto receive the mercy and blessings of Al-lah SWT and obtain true success, bothin this world and in the hereafter,InshaAllah, Ameen.
