Asalamualikum People, Today morning I was looking for Qasr Namaz (Salah) as I will traveling to Bangalore during the Day. (Bad time to travel - as the buses wont wait for any salah - Hope insha ALLAH i dont miss any). But few days back I found some info on the net, which said its OK to pray " 4 rakat " even if you are traveling that is if you have time. But today I found the following and I want you to think about this. The Shari'ah has allowed the traveller to shorten his prayer while on journey, and to offer only two rak'ahs of Fard at a prayer time where one has normally to offer four rak'ahs. The Qur'an says: " When you go on a journey, there is no harm if you shorten Salat . " [Qur'an 4:101] The holy Prophet has said: " This is a favour of Allah to you, so you should accept His favour gratefully ." ( Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi ) Also , Hadrat Abdullah ibn Umar says: " I have travelled in company with the holy Prophet, A...

Qasr - Shortening the Prayer during a Journey by Abdul Aziz Kamal The Shari'ah has allowed the traveller to shorten his prayer while on journey, and to offer only two rak'ahs of Fard at a prayer time where one has normally to offer four rak'ahs. The Qur'an says: " When you go on a journey, there is no harm if you shorten Salat ." [Qur'an 4:101] The holy Prophet has said: "This is a favour of Allah to you, so you should accept His favour gratefully." ( Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi ) Injunction Concerning Shortening the Prayer After a person has left his habitation with the intention of proceeding on journey, he should shorten his prayer, otherwise he would be committing a sin. ( 'Ilm al-Fiqh , Vol. II, p. 130, Durr al-Mukhtar , etc.) Hadrat Abdullah ibn Umar says: "I have travelled in company with the holy Prophet, Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, and have never seen them offering more than two rak'ahs of Fard during a journey."

Man has taken many journeys throughout time. But there is one journey that nobody has ever taken. Nobody—except one. On a vehicle no man has ever ridden, through a path no soul has ever seen. To a place no creation has ever before set foot. It was the journey of one man to meet the Divine. It was the journey of Muhammad, prophet of God, to the highest heaven. It was al Israa wal Miraaj (the magnificent journey). On that journey Allah took his beloved prophet to the seventh heaven—a place not even angel Gibreel could enter. In the Prophet’s mission on earth, every instruction, every commandment was sent down through angel Gibreel. But, there was one commandment that was not. There was one commandment so important, that rather than sending angel Gibreel down with it, Allah brought the Prophet up to Himself. That commandment was salah (prayer). When the Prophet was first given the command to pray, it was to be fifty times in a day. After asking Allah to make it easier, the comma...

   Download now or listen on posterous prophetsofislam_oct2709.mp3 (6510 KB) I started writing this piece in the last few days of October, so it relates to events from just over a month ago. Two days ago, I was invited to give a talk on “Prophets of Islam” at the Moraine Valley Community College in Chicago Land. It was hosted by the MSA via the public educational program at the campus’s library. I liked the idea of hosting these events at the library since it was open and readily accessible to the general public. The hosts, both the MSA and the library administration, were gracious and welcoming. Oddly enough, I was given a friendly heads-up that some people in the audience might not necessarily be there to listen, but rather to argue and debate, so that I was fully aware and prepared for such a turn of events. I politely answered jokingly with a smile, “I just moved here from Texas, so don’t worry about it. I always carry my guns ...

Courtesy : How I Hire Programmers (Aaron Swartz's Raw Thought) How I Hire Programmers There are three questions you have when you’re hiring a programmer (or anyone, for that matter): Are they smart? Can they get stuff done? Can you work with them? Someone who’s smart but doesn’t get stuff done should be your friend, not your employee. You can talk your problems over with them while they procrastinate on their actual job. Someone who gets stuff done but isn’t smart is inefficient: non-smart people get stuff done by doing it the hard way and working with them is slow and frustrating. Someone you can’t work with, you can’t work with. The traditional programmer hiring process consists of: a) reading a resume, b) asking some hard questions on the phone, and c) giving them a programming problem in person. I think this is a terrible system for hiring people. You learn very little from a resume and people get real nervous when you ask them tough questions in an interview. Programming i...

Watch Your Tongue “He really didn’t deserve that promotion.” “She may act nice, but she is so two-faced.” “Did you hear about what happened?! They got into so much trouble for those emails…” Sound familiar? Unfortunately this is what we witness on a day-to-day basis in the workplace. It’s hard to resist just listening to others gossip, let alone joining in ourselves. As Muslims, we first need to recognize the gravity of such talk, and then try and learn from the character of the best of creation, the Prophet Muhammad ( sal Allahu `alayhi wa sallam – peace be upon him).
