Have you given your Zakka?

So have you? If not I suggest you hurry it up fasta fasta! The word deed or action has been mentioned in the quran 360 times. So what are you waiting for?If you are working and are making a living, then you can give to the poor. There is another person out there, who is less fortunate and does not know where he will get his next meal.

These are some of the conditions our poor live in.

Sometimes giving is not all about money, even transferring of knowledge on information that the poor don't have is good enough.

How about our brothers and sisters fleeing for survival in Myanmar?

And the folks in Somalia?

Below are some of the Quran verses on giving in the way of your Lord.

You shall not attain righteousness until you spend out of what you love (in the way of Allah). Allah knows whatever you spend. [Quran Chapter 3:92]

And let not those deem, who are niggardly in giving away that which Allah has granted them out of His grace, that it is good for them; nay, it is worse for them; they shall have that whereof they were niggardly made to cleave to their necks on the resurrection day; and Allah's is the heritage of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is aware of what you do.[Quran Chapter 3:180] 

Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and humble themselves (in repentance and obedience) before their Lord, - they will be dwellers of Paradise to dwell therein forever. [Quran Chapter 11:23]

You get my gist, please help the poor and start with your own.The best help is the one where you teach them how to help themselves.

Curiousity

Yes We have landed in Mars. Man's fear of the unknown has made him so insecure that he won't sit tight and cultivate earth Nooo, its just not in our nature. We are a curious creature that we need to know what we don't know. We still want to know where are we really from and is there life out there besides ours? Nasa sent a rover to Mars and called it Curiosity.

The rover landed safely after a complicated landing.  What is its Mission? To search for extraterrestrial life and why Mars turned from a wet planted into a dry and cold one. So now one wonders, if the building blocks of alien life form is found, what can man do with that information? Would we try to communicate with it? Really? You tend to wonder sometimes what our motives are. We watch a lot of Steven Spielberg movies that put a lot of ideas in our heads of alien life forms, at the same time, there is that fear of opening a Pandora's box. What if, what we find should have been left WELL ALONE? Are we our own source of destruction? Or am I simply reading to much into this? Personally, I am just as curious as everyone else and a little excited. As a Muslim though, all these questions have been answered for me, but as a student of science I am definitely curious of their findings and how this research ends.

Here you go, The NASA Images of Mars reported by the Curiosity rover

Msomi wa Leo - Ahmed Deedat (1918-2005)

Nitakuwa sijaitendea hii blog haki, kama sijamsema muanzilishi wa mijadala kulinganisha dini kati ya uislamu, ukristo na uyahudi Ahmed Hussein Deedat.  Muafrika kusini ambaye ni moja wa waanzilishi wa Islamic Propagation Centre International (IPCI) iliokuwa Afrika Kusini. Nia yao ilikuwa kuchapisha vitabu tofauti kuhusu dini ya kiislamu, na kutoa madarasa kwa waislamu wapya waliosilimu. Pia alianzisha As-Salaam Educational Institute kwenye mji wa Braemar. Anajulikana kwa vitabu vyake alivyo andika kuhusu tofauti ya uislamu na ukristo, na mijadala yake mingi aliyo fanya na wakristo wakubwa wa dini. Alikuwa pia anatoa hotuba nyingi kwenye maswala ya kulinganisha dini tofauti, na alikuwa ni msomi wa Quran na Biblia. Alizaliwa mwaka 1918 akafariki 2005, na alikuwa na mke moja na watoto watatu (wavulana wawili na msichana moja) .

Mwenyezi Mungu amlaze mahali pema peponi

Msikilize mwenyewe akiwa kwenye moja ya hotuba zake.

Alikuwa mkali huyo.

Toyota RAV4 and LEXUS Recall

Toyota is recalling 778,000 from the US of RAV4 Sports Utility and Lexus sedans. The company claims that there is a problem with the rear suspension arm. Toyota says that if the nuts on the rear suspension arm were not tightened properly during a wheel-alignment service, then rust can form with use causing the rear suspension arm to wear and separate. The affected cars are the 2006 to early 2011 models. Toyota is developing a fix and will notify owners to make an appointment with a dealer to apply the fix once implemented.

Kwa wale wadau wasio jua kama gari lao lipo kwenye huo mkumbo, na una gari ya aina hiyo na uliishusha gari yako toka Marekani, nakushauri uende kwa Toyota dealership karibu yako ucheki kama na wewe upo kwenye list. Au check vin number yako, ambayo ni mchanganyiko wa namba na herufi jumla ya herufi 17. Angalia hii namba kwenye dashboard upande wa dereva kuna ka chuma kadogo yenye hii namba, au fungua mlango wa dereva, pale mlango unapojibana hii VIN pia inapatikana hapo. Halafu nenda hapa, ucheki kama gari lako lipo kwenye list.

Toyota Sports-Utility 2006. Ni tamu hiyo

Lexus Sedan 2006

Duh! Aisee kama imepaki mbele nyumba kama hiyo,halafu ikawa ni yako hapo nyuma. Ni Raha tupu.
