Beautifully Hearted Muslim Women

Dalai Lama and Muslims meet to appeal for the common good. As a practicing Muslim woman, I have always had a lot of respect and admiration for anyone promoting peace and justice and more so for those who actually are a living example of peace and justice. The Dalai Lama is one of such people that I hold in high esteem and although he is not Muslim, we have many fundamental values and beliefs in common. It is no surprise then, that I was extremely happy to come across the article below which precisely brings to light the point I am trying to convey to you. Enjoy your reading.

DO WE REALLY KNOW THIS HUMAN BEING...? Muhammad The Prophet ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA confirms: “.... A mass of detail in the early sources show that he was an honest and upright man who had gained the respect and loyalty of others who were like-wise honest and upright men." (Vol. 12) Gibbon in 'The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' 1823 The good sense of Muhammad despised the pomp of royalty. The Apostle of God submitted to the menial offices of the family; he kindled the fire; swept the floor; milked the ewes; and mended with his own hands his shoes and garments. Disdaining the penance and merit of a hermit, he observed without effort of vanity the abstemious diet of an Arab. Reverend Bosworth Smith in 'Muhammad and Muhammadanism,' London, 1874. "Head of the State as well as the Church, he was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without the Pope's pretensions, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar, without a standing army, without a bodyguard, ...

The women in Muhammad's Heart!... The women Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was married to were given the respected title of "Mothers of the Believers" (may Allah be pleased with them) · Khadija The prophet’s first wife, whom he loved more than any of his later wives. 15 years his senior, she was his only wife for more than 20 years and no other woman compares to her in the Prophet’s life. Her death affected him greatly. A proof of how the noble Prophet loved and cherished her memory is to be found in what he said about Khadija many years after she had passed away : "… She believed in me when all others disbelieved; she held me truthful when others called me a liar; she sheltered me when others abandoned me; she comforted me when others shunned me; and Allah granted me children from her...” (reported by Aisha) · Aisha One can write books about the love of the Prophet (pbuh), and his later wife Aisha, she became the prophet’s wife 3 years after the death of Khadija 'Amr ...

OUR FEELINGS ABOUT SOME OF THE ANTI-TERRORISM MEASURES As citizens of the United Kingdom, our group of Brighton & Hove Muslim Women alongside other peace and justice loving people of Britain, feel the need to communicate our view regarding some of the new anti-terrorism measures in the aftermath of the appalling London bombings of 7/7/2005. The British Muslim community as a whole has always been a law-abiding community. and all its endeavours to create a more just society have been entirely peaceful. We fear that recent events are being exploited by some sections in society to demonise legitimate Islamic and much fought for British values and beliefs, and subsequently lay the foundations of what could become an authoritarian police state. If your history lessons have never captured your imagination we hope that the list below will refresh your memory. Those of you, reading this post and thinking that a drift towards authoritarianism is an exaggeration, we kindly ask you, to look ag...

ISLAM says NO!!! to terrorism We women feel outraged by the bad press Islam has been getting lately. Whether it has been due to the often sensationalist & biased treatment of Islam in the media or because of the deplorable violent acts carried out, WRONGLY, in the name of Islam; we felt it essential to shed light on those fundamental points that hardly make the headlines. ISLAM & TERRORISM Islamically, terrorism is the slaughter and persecution of the Innocent. As such, it is forbidden, since it is in direct opposite of Islam, a name that is derived from the Arabic word Salam which means Peace. No other faith carries the word peace in its name. The word Muslim can be given the meaning, "One who spreads peace" as it is important for Muslims everywhere to greet each other with the word of Salamualikum! (peace be with you!) The blessed Prophet taught: "A believer remains within the scope of their religion as long as he or she does not kill another person illegall...
