The key to spiritual and material success for Muslims "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise" - a famous maxim coined by the American scientist, writer and inventor, Benjamin Franklin.

Top 5 Lies About Israel’s Assault on Gaza
January 5, 2009 By
From GazaTalk.com Lie #1) Israel is only targeting legitimate military sites and is seeking to protect innocent lives. Israel never targets civilians. The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated pieces of property in the world. The presence of militants within a civilian population does not, under international law, deprive that population of their protected status, and hence any assault upon that population under the guise of targeting militants is, in fact, a war crime. Moreover, the people … [Read more...]
Who will break the silence on Israel
December 31, 2008 By
this short piece from IslamicRevival. The last paragraph is a real soul-stirrer - Insha'allah the arab leaders in the Middle East awaken from their slumber, their decadent lifestyles and face the reality of this world and the reality of the hereafter.

Ramadan & Jihad
September 15, 2008 By
Many Muslims today look at Ramadhan as a time of decreased activity. They go into an unnatural state of hibernation, spending much time sleeping or doing nothing which results in them becoming dull brained, lazy and moody. However, if we look into the lives of Rasulullah (saw), the Sahaabah (ra) and those who follow in his (saw) path, we see that out of all the months in the year, Ramadhan is the time when Islamic activity increased and the Muslims gained tremendous results by the leave of Allah … [Read more...]
