You can not live without oxygen.
You need him all the time in happiness or in sadness.
He is your very best companion.
He always likes you and be with you.

2. Our best friend is like Food .
Your best friend is always beneficial to you.
He always supports you.
We always need friends that support us.
The same thing that we need foods because we need to eat.

3.Our best friend is like Medicine.
This kind of friend is bitter.
You only need a friend in your difficulty time.

He gives you a good taste but he is harming you.
He is good and always talks nice but he is never productive.

5. Our best friend is like Hammer.

==============================================

Five ayahs from Al Quran that Syeikh gave last week are as following:

1. Surah 2: 155-156
This struggle will provide you with many opportunities to test your own mettle. You may encounter wars and massacres and also be confronted with scarcity of food and loss of life and property or with devastation of fields and orchards. Such ordeals may take place but ultimately those who remain steadfast and do not waver in their commitment to establish Allah Almighty 's System, will be successful. They meet every challenge saying: "We have dedicated ourselves to the establishment of the Divine System and come what may we will continue advancing towards that goal". (Surah AL Baqarah, 155-156)

Quran today: Surah 2: 155-156

2. Surah 3: 173-174
"No harm touched them" since they say "Allah is sufficient for us and most excellent is the Protector." (Surat Ali-'Imran: 173-174).

Paradise in Al Quran by Harun Yahya

3. Surah 21:83-84
And Ayyub when he called out to his Lord, "Great harm has afflicted me and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful," We responded to him and removed from him the harm which was afflicting him and restored his family to him, and the same again with them, as a mercy direct from Us and a Reminder to all worshippers. (Qur'an, 21:83-84)

Allah's Miracle in the Quran

4. Surah 21:87
And Zan-Noon (Jonah, "the one with an `N' in his name"), abandoned his mission in protest, thinking that we could not control him. He ended up imploring from the darkness (of the big fish's belly): "There is no god other than You. Be You glorified. I have committed a gross sin." (Quran, 21:87)

5. Surah 40:44
"Some day you will remember what I am telling you now. I leave the judgment of this matter to GOD; GOD is the Seer of all the people." (Quran, 40:44)

The Important of Reading in Our Kids

Assalamualaikum,

I just read news about:
Study: Americans Reading A Lots Less


I quote some from the news that:


Americans are reading a lot less. That's according to a 99-page study, "To Read or Not to Read: A Question of National Consquence," released Monday by the National Endowment for the Arts as a follow-up to a 2004 NEA survey, "Reading at Risk," that found an increasing number of adult Americans were not even reading one book a year.
The new study examined data on everything from how many 9-year-olds read every day for "fun" (54 percent) to the percentage of high school graduates deemed by employers as "deficient" in writing in English (72 percent).


I think , we are as Muslim know that reading in our life is very important. Nowaday, there is not many people, especially Muslim, love to read. They are all busy with working, housework, internet/games, etc. They don't have time to read, even reading the Quran for 15 minutes everyday. Syaitan makes us busy in this dunya without we realize it that our life is too short. You will find alot of non Muslim like to read more than Muslim. Everytime, I walked in NY city, I saw people holding book or newspaper or magazines, they love to read. Even the research study show that alot of people are not reading. This study is not for Muslim. Muslim should love more reading.


The first thing that Allah revealed through Angel Jibril to Prophet Muhammad SAW is IQRO or READ

You can read Surah 96. The Clot, Read, Proclaim, surat Al-Alaq,
and Translation surah (96) Al Alaq


To memorize the surah is in here


Insha Allah, Muslim will read more in their daily life, especially reading and learning Al-QURAN


Let's read more. We know that by reading and learning more, we can get more knowledge.


You can read more about Knowledge and Youth
And You can hear beautiful recitation Surat Iqra by sheikh Abdul Basit



An another article that was sent to homeschool group is about Earth Is Rapidly Getting Warmer

For more informations about in:

Global warming,
The Early Warning Sign ,
and Global Warming Predictions


All above, such as alot of people are not reading alot good books (getting less knowledge) and the earth is getting warmer, are the signs of The Last Day.

One of the Hadiths about the sign of Last Day is:


Multitude of earthquakes is a sign of the nearness of the Day of Judgement, Abu Hurayrah (radhi allahu anhu) related from Allah's Messenger (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam): "The Hour will not happen until knowledge is taken out, time passes quickly, earthquakes increase in number, tribulations (fitna) appear, and al-Harj increases in number." It was said, "What is al-Harj, O Messenger of Allah r?" He said, "Al Qatl, al Qatl (Killing)." [Musnad Ahmad]


May Allah always guide us in the right path. Ameen.

Whoever Neglects Prayer

Assalamualaikum,

Today, I share a hadith with the kids about:

Whoever Neglects Prayer
Allah will send Fifteen Punishments upon Him
[Transmitted by Sahih Bukhari]

The Prophet Muhammad (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ) said:
The one who disdains the prayers will receive fifteen punishments from Allah. Six punishments in this lifetime, Three while dying , Three in the grave & Three on the Day of Judgment.

The Six Punishments of Life:

1. Allah takes away blessings from his age (makes his life misfortunate).

2. Allah does not accept his Dua.

3. Allah erases the features of good people from his face.

4. He will be detested by all creatures on earth.

5. Allah does not award him for his good deeds.

6. He will not be included in the Dua of good people.

The Three Punishments while Dying:

1. He dies humiliated.

2. He dies hungry.

3. He dies thirsty. Even if he drinks the water of all seas he will still be thirsty.

The Punishments in the Grave:

1. Allah tightens his grave until his chest ribs come over each other.

2. Allah pours on him fire with embers.

3. Allah sets on him a snake called "the brave", "the bold" which hits Him from morning until afternoon for leaving Fajr prayer, from the afternoon until Asr for leaving Dhuhr prayer and so on. With each strike he sinks 70 yards under the ground.

The Three Punishments on the Day of Judgment:

1. Allah sends who would accompany him to hell pulling him on the face.

2. Allah gives him an angry look that makes the flesh of his face fall down.

3. Allah judges him strictly and orders him to be thrown in hell.

"Why Arabic Quran?"

Assalamualaikum,
