From beholding your beauty
O my Lord accept this plea

There is nothing in my heart except Allah )

Badshah wo kaun hai
Mererba wo kaun hai

Who is the king?
Who is the Merciful? )

Uskey sab nishan hai
Sab dilon ki jan hai

Whatever you see in this world is His sign
He's the love of every soul )

Have mercy and pardon my sins
Bless my night and days )

Make me steadfast on this religion
And forgive me and all the beleivers )

Na'am bro Rashid it does- that version is said by the Ahlul Bid'ah whom believe the Prophet (saw) is not human but angelic and made of light.

Be patient bro. and try and teach them the haq slowly, slowly- Rasul'allah (saw) isn't made of light, he was indeed a 'perfect example' and our most beloved but to raise his status to the angelic realm, or to state he wasn't human, that he was made of light is sinful and quite foolish indeed. Be firm on your belief but not arrogant or have ryah and remember to be a Salafi or a member of the Jammat-e Islam is way better than to have a shifty set of beliefs.

diazepam relaxes the muscles ull end up maybe relaxing your heart muscles and losing your heart, thats if you have one in the first place :rolleyes:

[ur_yusra]

diazepam relaxes the muscles ull end up maybe relaxing your heart muscles and losing your heart, thats if you have one in the first place :rolleyes:

diazepam is a tranquiliser and plays no role in the matters of the heart...

...and yes I do possess a heart or else I would not be alive

however if u mean that in a metaphorical sense then surely one who loses their heart has died a spiritual death.. (unless they are giving their heart/life to Allah (swt) which is a different thing altogether..)

however if u mean that in a metaphorical sense then surely one who loses their heart has died a spiritual death.. (unless they are giving their heart/life to Allah (swt) which is a different thing altogether..)

the heart has been used as a metaphor for many different aspects of religious life.

it is used as a metaphor for spiritual cleanliness when we talk about blackness and lighness of the heart

it is used as a metaphor for spiritual guidance when we say islam has permeated the heart

it is used as a metaphor for spiritual strenght when we talk about ilnesses and diseases of the heart

it is used as a metaphor for compassion when we talk about a persons caring for others

i was using it more in the cultural sence where it is used as a metaphor for coldness especially a womans coldness :rolleyes:

ps diazepam is a tranquiliser, a musculatory relaxant i believe , therfore relax your muscles too much, namely your cardiac muscles , can cause loss of heart function.

in regards to the use of their and there, yes ok i made a grammatical error my apologies, if you however want me to go into the lexigal ignorance with which you write every post then you need to take some more diazepam... i mean seems is not a word to start a sentance with where is the preposition... correct grammar would be IT seems etc, second of all after the so called ... you need to utilise capitals when starting the next word so that would be ... Also etc even the use of also as a beginning to a sentance is grammatically incorrect but i wont get into that as I think that would be too much for you. This is harder then cooking and clearning hey.

Why you highlighted my spelling of sarcasm is a mystery to me. Perhaps you need some rest, or maybe your husband was irritating you so you taking it out on me :rolleyes: poor guy

yes id ask them which way to the pharmacy and how much does it cost to buy so and so but does not change what they are.

just to prove a point your signature, the duah you have on it, it should be, hasbunallahu wa ni'hmal wakeel, that is why you dont take advice from pharmacy students.

Inshallah cant wait to get back to islamic class dont understand why it doesnt continue during ramadhan.

uggh ughhhhhhhh :vomit: pharmacists aka failed doctors.

Subhan Allah, you're so ignorant to insult pharmacists. Do you realize that such a comment insults me along with the many other pharmacists- Muslims & non-Muslims alike, around the world? Do you know what an impact pharmacists have made on the lives of other people? I'll bet you didn't know that many people who can't afford to go to doctors go to pharmacists to seek their advice on medical matters. Why? Because pharmacists don't get paid for giving medical advice like doctors do.

So before you post such a lousy comment, you should think first.

u need to look at the topic of conversation and the train of thought that was going ahead before you start getting emotional and losing your temper. Somethings are meant as light hearted humour. Are all pharmacists so touchy? that is why you should have been a doctor :rolleyes:

[Ayah]

Inshallah cant wait to get back to islamic class dont understand why it doesnt continue during ramadhan.

Yeah, you ought to do that. Maybe they'll teach you about the hadith of our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on manners. If one doesn't have anything good/nice to say, then he/she should refrain from speaking.

im not feeling insulted by what the sister is saying and she has not complained about being insulted by anything i have said and i have already stated previously that it is light hearted and if u feel offended then you dont have to join in you can always just keep silent.

Alhamdulillah I know of the hadith. Humour is not a waste of time and everyone has contributed and we have learnt and will continue to learn. So please relax ask ur_yusrah to give you some diazepam if need be she enjoys playing doctor ;)

[MMS]

the link that was given for this nasheed does say ''nur-e-muhammad sallallah'' so does that mean its wrong it to listen to it?? maybe its just talking abt the light of muhammad (saw) as a form of guidance??

"Allah says, 'Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth; the likeness of His light is like a niche wherein is a lamp, the lamp in a glass, the glass as if it were a glittering star kindled from a blessed tree, an olive that is neither of the east nor the west whose oil would nearly shine, even if no fire touched it. Light upon light. Allah guides to His Light whomever He will. Allah makes examples for people and Allah has knowledge of everything.' (24:35)

Ka'b al-Ahbar and Ibn Jubayr said, 'By the second light He means Muhammad (saw). Allah says, 'the likeness of his light . . .' meaning the light of Muhammad.'

Sahl ibn 'Abdullah at-Tustari said that it means that Allah is the guide of the people of the heavens and the earth. Then Sahl said, '. . . like the light of Muhammad when it is lodged in the loins like a niche. By the lamp He means his heart. The glass is his breast. It is as if it were a glittering star because of the belief and wisdom it contains, kindled from a blessed tree, i.e. from the light of Ibrahim. He makes a comparison with the blessed tree and He says, 'Its oil would nearly shine,' i.e. Muhammad's prophecy is almost evident to the people before he speaks, just like this oil.'

A lot more is said about this ayat, and Allah knows best what it means.

Elsewhere in the Qur'an, Allah calls his Prophet a light and a light-giving lamp. He says, 'A light and a clear book have come to you from Allah.' (5:15) Allah also says, 'We sent you as a witness, a bringer of good news and a warner, one who calls to Allah with His permissoin and a light-giving lamp." (33:46)
