Ramadan and Fasting / Re: Ramadan, the month of fasting
« on: July 26, 2011, 09:21:20 AM »
O Lord! Bless Muhammad and his family, and inspire us to know this month’s excellence, and to honor its dignity, and to abstain from whatever You have forbidden in it. Help us to observe its fast, by restraining our limbs from disobeying You, and by employing them in that which would please You, so that we may not lend our ears to any vain speech, and may not direct our eyes, hands and feet towards anything forbidden, and that nothings fills our stomachs except what You have made lawful, and our tongues may not utter anything except what You have allowed.

Ramadan and Fasting / Ramadan, the month of fasting
« on: July 26, 2011, 09:21:04 AM »
Praise be to Allah, who ordained this month, the month of Ramadan, the month of fasting, the month of Islam, the month of purity, the month of purification, and the month of prayers. In this month the Qur’an was made to descend as a guidance to mankind and contains clear instructions and distinctions. He gave this month superiority over all other months by giving it abundant honor and dignity. He prohibited in it what He has allowed in other months in order to exalt it, and forbade in it food and drink in order to honor it.

Great Advice From The Harry Potter Books

"The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution."

"...to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever."

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."

"It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our Abilities"

"Understanding is the first step to Acceptance, and only with Acceptance, can their be Recovery"

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places...one only needs to remember, to turn on the light"....

"You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble?....You know, Harry, in a way, you did see your father last night....You found him inside yourself."
