RABBI-UL-AWWAL 1438 A.H
HURRICANE IRMA
Hurricane Irma has come, and Hurricane Irmahas also gone
Mash’Allaah. Allah Akbar! Thewinds have come, the winds have gone;
butthe signs of ALLAH SWT should still be in ourhearts. You see
brothers and sisters, ALLAH Fahad MirzaSWT presents us an infinite
amount of signs on a daily basis.ALLAH SWT, in HIS (SWT) Qudrat
(might), in his power, HE(SWT) has many different ways in teaching
us lessons. Someexamples being sickness, death, problems,
disasters, calami-ties, difficulties. Sometimes, things happen in
our lives, andthey may be a means to putting us back on the
straight path.Sometimes things happen in our lives as difficulties
as a test,for ALLAH SWT to keep us on the Sirat-tul-mustaqeem
(straightpath) because we have everything. So hence, the reason
whythese things become our trials and test to strengthen our
Imaan(faith) and make us a better people. We have just gone
throughthe hurricane, and some of us are cleaning up our
houses,fixing and repairing what needs to be fixed and repaired,
someof us are waiting for our electricity to be put back on and
thereis much to do; but, did we ponder over the Qudrat (might)
ofAllah SWT during the days of the Hurricane? I know whilemost
people, and the millions of people were worried aboutflooding,
electricity, repairing their homes. It’s interesting howperspective
is important. I was in South Korea when Hurri-cane Irma was in
Florida, and I had a different picture in mymind. I was following
the Hurricane and monitoring the newsstations, but my perspective
and vision was different. I waswatching the Friday Khutbah online
and I also saw that a lotmore people came to Jumah Salah on time,
probably becausethey wanted to pray in advance that the Hurricane
doesn’t hitthem. The Hurricane has gone, and people have gone back
totheir old ways ‘ Innal Insaana Li Rabihi LaQanood” - AllahSWT
knows that human beings are ungrateful to Allah SWT.We have
benefited by the bounty of Allah SWT that we havedodged the
hurricane, instead of going towards South Florida,it went out West
Florida. Do we make shukr to Allah SWT?How many people prayed (2)
rakats to thank Allah SWT thatHE (SWT) has saved us from the
hurricane?! I’m sure manyof us were praying before, “Ya Allah
(SWT), save us!” Afterthe hurricane has passed, people were saved,
their homes weresaved, and their cars were saved, their families
were saved;did we really pray (2) rakats salah to thank Allah SWT?!
Thisreminds me of Rasoolullah (SAW), when the Sahabas (RA)would ask
him (SAW); Ya Rasoolullah (SAW), your feet areso swollen in praying
Salah [Nafl salah, not the Fards]. Whydo you have to pray so much
when your past sins, presentssins and future sins are all
forgiven?! Rasoolullah (SAW) an-swered, “Should I not at least make
the shukr (gratefulness,thankfulness) to Allah SWT?”

RABBI-UL-AWWAL 1438 A.H
The Hanafis, Shafi’is and the Malikis holdthat if the number of
dissentients be notlarge, then the majority view though
notabsolute, is valid and of binding authority.The reason for
unanimity is that whereas
QIYASQIYASQIYASQIYASQIYAS
an individual jurist is liable to err, unanimity is a quality
thatraises presumption of infallibility in a favour of the entire
body.According to Hanafis, Malikis and generally Shafi’is an ijma
iscomplete after the jurists of an age have had sufficient time
todeliberate and then arrived at an agreement. The version ofHanbal
and some Shafi’ doctors is that it is not complete untilall of the
jurists who arrived at a conclusion are dead withoutany one having
withdrawn his assent or changed his opinion.The general view of the
Sunni School is that a question de-cided by ijma cannot be reopened
by individual jurists of thesame or subsequent age unless the
decision is one in which aparticular jurist had differed. Ijma of
an age may be reversedor repealed by a subsequent ijma of the same
age and an ijmaof one age may be repealed by an ijma of a
subsequent ageexcept an ijma arrived at by the companions of the
Prophet,which is unrepealable and as such incapable of being
repealedlater. A decision constituted by ijma may be expressed in
wordsknown or by practice of the jurists called (fa’ili). In both
casesit can either be regular or irregular. If the mujtahids
severallydeclare their opinion in words, the ijma so constituted
will beregular. But if some observe silence without expressing
dis-sent, it will be irregular. Similarly in the case of ijma by
prac-tice if the mujtahids adopt a particular view of the law, it
willbe regular, and if some do not indicate dissent it will be
irregu-lar. Some Hanafi doctors make no difference between
regularand irregular ijma, but some Shafi’s, some Malikis,
someMu’tazilis and the Zahiris do not recognize the validity of
ir-regular ijma at all. As to the number of jurists participating
inthe deliberations, Hanafis and Malikis do not consider that
thenumber should be large. But some say that it should not be
lessthan two.QIYAS - Qiyas or analogy is a source of law for the
applica-bility of which the basis is reason, logic or opinion. This
wasnecessitated by occurrence of new cases due to passage oftime
and expansion of the Islamic State and was a develop-ment on
individual free thought, ra’y, through more systematicreasoning on
the existing sources viz; Qur’an and Sunnah. Allthe four Sunni
Schools are agreed that in matters not providedfor by a Qur’anic
text or tradition nor determined by consen-sus of opinion, law may
be deduced from what has been laiddown by any of the other three
authorities by the use of Qiyas.The function of analogy is
stretched to extension of the law ofthe texts to cases not falling
within the purview of its terms.

TWO WOLVESLIVING
WITHIN YOUAs I sit here to reflect and write this articlefor
Al-Hikmat, I am keenly aware that here in
The Keys, throughout Florida, in many places throughout
ournation and clearly world-wide, there have been calamities
thathave affected the lives of many, many people. There is
suffer-ing, pain, despair, attempts at recovery and much Post
Trau-matic Stress Syndrome. Yet, I cannot help but also be aware
ofthe many, many people who have stepped forward to offerhelp and
assistance. More so, much of this help has come frompeople of
different faiths, cultures, and backgrounds than thoseof the people
they are assisting. Such is very encouraging. How-ever, when things
begin to settle, and “near normal” begins tounfold, will we
remember the healing hands of a neighbor whoperhaps holds some
different thoughts, beliefs and philosophiesthan we do. How do we
react and can this/these tragedies betransformative rather than
devisive. From the beginning of time,we have records of humanity’s
attempts to destroy one an-other. Yet, also from the beginning of
time, we know of indi-viduals and groups that have risen as beacons
of light amidstand despite such negativity. What makes the
difference? I re-member hearing a wise tale that a grandfather
shared with hisbeloved grandson. His grandson adored him, and often
sat ashis feet to hear his many stories. This time the
grandfathersaid, “You must always remember my son, that there are
twowolves living within you. One is evil, filled with hatred,
jeal-ously, prejudice and who wants to always inflict harm.
Theother is good, filled with kindness, forgiveness,
understand-ing, mercy and who always wants to be a source of
peace.“The young boy thought long and hard, and then questionedhis
grandfather: “If these two wolves are within me, and theyare so
different, which of the two will eventually win and takecontrol.”
The grandfather responded, “The one you feed.”Which one do we feed?
I believe our answer might allow us torespond properly to the
question about how we can make adifference in a world that
continues to witness both sides ofhumanity. As I sit here this day
and reflect on past devastation(s)I believe the answer lies within
each and every one of us. As Ireflect on the devastations of war,
another particular instancesurfaces that occurred during WWII, the
bombing of Coven-try Cathedral in England. I am also keenly aware
of that faithcommunity’s response that led to the development of
the “Com-munity of the Cross of Nails.” Rather than seek
vengeanceupon their aggressors, they decided to ask for
reconciliation.

“O you who have believed, let not a peopleridicule [another]
people; perhaps they may
be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other]
women;perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult
oneanother and do not call each other by [offensive]
nicknames.Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one’s] faith.
Andwhoever does not repent - then it is those who are the
wrong-doers. [Qur’an 49:11] Abu Huraira (RA) reported: A
bedouinurinated in the mosque, and the people rushed to beat
him.Allah’s Messenger (SAW) ordered them to leave him and poura
bucket or a tumbler (full) of water over the place where hehad
passed urine. The Prophet then said, “You have been sentto make
things easy (for the people) and you have not beensent to make
things difficult for them.” The Prophet Muhammad(SAW) said:
“Anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Dayshould not harm his
neighbor, and anybody who believes inAllah and the Last Day should
entertain his guest generously,and anybody who believes in Allah
and the Last Day shouldtalk what is good or keep quiet”. (I.e.
abstain from all kinds ofevil and dirty talk).” (Al-Bukhari) When a
Christian delegationfrom Ethiopian churches came to Medina, the
Prophet openedup his mosque for them to stay in, hosted them
generously,and personally served them meals. He said: They were
gener-ous to our companions, so I wish to be generous to them
inperson…”narrated by Abu Hurayrah, Sahih Al Bukhari, Vol: 8Hadith
47. The above event leads right into the next incident,which
happened recently at a local masjid. During Ramadan,just before
breaking fast in the masjid, a young woman walkedover to the area
where many sisters were waiting to break theirfast. This young
woman was not a muslim, and was not wear-ing a hijab. As she went
to enter the door of the masjid, theseresponsible sisters started
talking about her loudly, staring ather and then one of them
verbally attacked the young womanyelling at her “to get out of
here, you don’t belong here”. Theseinsults literally brought this
young woman to tears. She wasfrozen in utter disbelief and
embarrassment, while the sisterscontinued to insult her.
Thankfully, some other kindhearted sis-ters came to her aid to talk
and comfort her. Choking back hertears, the young woman explained
that she came to find outmore about Islam. She did not know that
she had to wear thehijab, before entering the mosque. The
compassionate sistersreassured her that this behavior from the
antagonistic sisterswas unacceptable and definitely not tolerated
in Islam. Theyoung woman gently said, she did not want to come back
tothe mosque and she walked away. Now, let us step back andask
ourselves, were the sisters pleased with their actions?

RABBI-UL-AWWAL 1438 A.H
SPENDINGSPENDINGSPENDINGSPENDINGSPENDINGFORFORFORFORFOR
ALLAAH (SWT) ALLAAH (SWT) ALLAAH (SWT) ALLAAH (SWT) ALLAAH
(SWT)There are many Muslims, who believe that Allaah SWT
expectsnothing more from them, than to go through the daily,
weeklyand yearly rituals, without stretching themselves and
makingsacrifices for the sake of their communities and for others
indistress. These Muslims seem to think, that their prayer,
theirfasting and Hajj alone will earn the pleasure of Allaah SWT
andsecure their place in paradise. Some of them even become
sooutwardly pious and self-righteous, that their main pleasure isto
debate the finer details of some minor issue, quoting Quranand
Hadíth at length. It is, as if their concern for these
tinytechnicalities will somehow make up for their lack
ofinvolvement with the real pressing problems of the day.
Thesepeople are what we might call, formal Muslims, because theyare
more concerned about the form, than with the substance,of Islam.
Can they be right? Is this attitude enough? Will AllaahSWT accept
us as mere formal Muslims? Can we really attainthe goal of truly
righteous Believers by only observing ourprayers in a narrow,
formal way, and caring for little else? InSurah Al Baqara, 2:v177
we read, “It is not righteousness thatyou turn your faces toward
East or West. But it is righteousnessto believe in Allaah SWT and
the Last Day and the Angels andthe Book and the Messengers. To
spend of your substance outof love for Him, for your kin, for
orphans, for the needy, forthe wayfarer, for those who ask and for
the ransom of slaves;to be steadfast in prayer and to practice
regular charity. Tofulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to
be firm andpatient in pain (or suffering) and adversity and
throughout allperiods of panic. Such are the people of truth the
Allaah SWT-fearing.” In one beautiful, sweeping and inspiring
verse, weare told precisely, what “righteousness” really means. The
trulyrighteous Muslim, is not one who simply faces east or west
inritual prayer. It is one whose whole life has been dedicated
tothe service of Allaah SWT, and of all His creatures. A
truebeliever’s heart is full of fear and reverence and respect for
hisLord. These are the qualities of Al Muttaqee, one whose heartis
full of taqwa. We must believe sincerely in all that AllaahSWT
teaches us through his Books and Messengers. And then,just as
important, we must carry out those beliefs. We musttranslate them
into Action. Without action, our beliefs have nomeaning. Doing our
duties to Allaah SWT, therefore, cannot beseparated from doing our
duties to our fellow human beings.For this reason, we find that in
no less than 18 places The HolyQur’an uses the expression:
“Establish the prayer, and practiceregular charity.” The one is a
duty we owe to Allaah SWT, theother is a duty we owe to our fellow
human beings.
Continued on Page 22, InShaa Allaah
DEPRESSIONSOF THE
FAITHLESS SOCIETY
God declares in the Qur’an that He has cre-ated mankind
according to a certain disposi-
tion: “So set you your face steadily and truly to the Faith:
(es-tablish) God’s handiwork according to the pattern on whichHe
has made mankind.” (Qur’an, 30:30) The disposition ofmankind relies
on being a servant to God and having faith inHim. Since man is
unable to meet his unlimited wishes andneeds by himself, he
naturally needs to humble himself beforeGod and turn to Him. If the
individual lives in accordance withthis disposition, he attains
true confidence, peace, happinessand salvation. If he denies this
disposition and turns away fromGod, he spends his life in distress,
fear, anxiety and grief. Thisrule, which is true for man, also
holds true for societies. If asociety is comprised of people who
believe in God, it becomesa just, peaceful, happy and wise society.
Unquestionably, theopposite also holds true. If a society is
unaware of God, thenthe order of such a community is basically
ruined, corrupt andprimitive. When societies that have turned away
from God areexamined, this fact is readily seen. One of the most
importantresults of irreligious thought is the abolishment of the
conceptof morality and the development of completely corrupt
societ-ies. In a society where people live only for the
satisfaction oftheir own desires, it surely is not possible to
maintain peace,love and amity. In such a society, human relations
depend onmutual interests. An extreme feeling of distrust prevails.
Whenthere is no reason for one to be sincere, honest, reliable
orwell-behaved, nothing stands in the way of dissimulation,
false-hood, or betrayal. The members of such societies have
“castGod away behind their backs (with contempt)” (Qur’an,
11:92)and thus never acknowledged the fear of God. Since they
can-not “make a just estimate of God,” they are unmindful of theday
of judgement and the day of account. This situation natu-rally
brings on the ethical degeneration and moral collapse thatwe see in
many societies today. When every individual thinksof nothing but
the satisfaction of his own needs and desires,everyone else,
including his family and friends, have second-ary importance. Other
individuals in society have no impor-tance whatsoever. Not knowing
by whom, when or how mis-deeds will be committed in such a society,
people live spiritu-ally in a condition of great fear and distress.
General distrustand suspicion cause them to lead very unhappy
lives. In a soci-ety where all kinds of moral values are
disregarded, the out-look of people on notions such as family,
honesty and chastityis quite alarming, for they have no fear of
God.

RABBI-UL-AWWAL 1438 A.H
Our Beloved Prophet (pbuh) was sent to guide us to love and
tomake clear that love is the cornerstone of our religion. No
reli-gion urges its followers to adopt mutual love and affection
likethe religion of Islam. Islam encourages showing affection
andlove towards each other at all times. Love in Islam is
all-encom-passing; it is not restricted to one form only, which is
love be-tween a man and a woman. At the center of it all is love
for theAlmighty and His Messenger (pbuh), the Companions, may Hebe
pleased with them and the love of good and righteous people.Islam
enjoins the general concept of love between mankind aswell. This is
first and foremost done by promoting the love ofthe Almighty
amongst us. Learn to love that which the Almightyloves and do not
stop remembering Him. Serve and worshipHim alone and don’t
associate with Him any other and be everconscious of Him. Many of
us find it easy to express love forthe Almighty verbally but
unfortunately our actions don’t reflectthat love for Him. How can
we claim to love Him when we takewhat He has revealed lightly,
don’t follow His commands, andfail to behave in a way that pleases
Him? Many times we findthat love missing from our hearts because
our hearts are filledinstead with doubts, vain desires, and
temptations of this tem-porary life. To counter these, we need to
firm up our beliefs.We need a better overall spiritual perspective
in order to counterdesires and temptations. We also need to clear
those doubts thathinder the instilling of the love for the Almighty
by learning moreabout our Deen and seeking knowledge from reliable
and ap-proved sources. Many of us spend a lot of time and effort
togain the love and pleasure of others and sometimes we may doit at
the expense of disobeying the Almighty’s commands. Weshould realize
that such things are futile and don’t last. Theywill earn us
nothing but His wrath and displeasure. On the otherhand, if we
focus on cultivating His love in our hearts, we willnot only get
His love but He will instill our love in the hearts ofothers as
well. Love is so central to Islam that without it therecan be no
real faith. The relationship of love between us and ourCreator,
between us and others, and between us and all of cre-ation is
essential to reaching our full potential as human beings.When we
nourish our hearts with love, when we manifest Hislove in our
lives; with our families, with our friends, in our work,in our
prayers, in everything that we do, the entire meaning oflife
changes. May the Almighty bless us with His love and thelove of
those who love Him. May He fill our hearts with love.Aameen.

AfghanistanVictoria Noorzai sought a new life in another country.
Nowshe tells her story of how she left her native country and
foundher way to the United States. She reveals her family life
andhow it was also affected by the unrest in her country. For
thefirst time we get a view of Afghanistan that is very
differentfrom what we’ve seen before. Unlike the war torn
countrywe’ve known for so long she depicts a place filled with
educa-tion centers and much more before being torn apart by
theRussian invaders so many years ago. “Family Many Lives OneStory”
is a fascinating story that shows why the United Statesis still a
beacon of hope for oppressed individuals around theworld.

A Life WA Life WA Life WA Life WA Life
WastedastedastedastedastedAfter 73 years onthis planet, everynew
morning isgetting me closerto my final desti-nation, when I willbe
facing my cre-
ator. Allah will ask me, oh my servant, Ihave granted you a long
life, and I havegiven you time, wealth, dignity, and in-telligence.
I have blessed you with goodhealth, decent education, loving
caringparents, and obedient children. I havegiven you a life that
millions of otherhumans dream of. What have you donewith this life.
What are your accomplish-ments. On that day, in-front of my
cre-ator, I will be standing with emptyhands, with my head down,
and myface deep in embarrassment. I havenothing to show, except
three well raisedchildren, and even that credit goes tomy
spouse.Our beloved prophet (PBUH) receivedthe first verse of Quran
at 40 and passedaway from this world at the age of 63.In this 23
years (20 solar years) he revo-lutionized the world. The first 13
yearsin Mecca were full of struggles and onlyduring the short
period of the last tenyears in Medina, he established
Allah’sreligion. Not in books and speeches, butin real every day
practical lives on thisearth. I cannot compare myself to ourbeloved
Prophet (PBUH), but I have hisclear example to follow. I have been
inUnited States for over 45 years, andhave achieved nothing for my
religion,for my country or even for my com-munity.There are
thousands of more qualifiedengineers and more intelligent human
be-ings than me. However, Allah selectedme to go to the United
states, andgranted me high level engineering ca-reer, dignified
status, prosperity, andwisdom. I was given all the time
andresources and the position to do goodfor my fellow humans.
However, I al-ways placed my own interest above anyother noble
deed. I acquired property,bank accounts, nice cars and other
ma-
terialistic goals. In order to suppressmy guilt, I gave some
charities, a littlehandout, some left overs.So, on the day when I
will face mycreator, with empty hands and myhead down in
embarrassment, I willreply to my Lord, my Rab, Oh Allah,you gave me
everything except one.I have no courage. I am a cowardperson, and I
was never able to standup for myself, or my goals. I
alwayscompromised and said yes sir. I al-ways accepted the results
and nevertried to defeat others for my advan-tages. With all your
blessings and yourgifts, I always remained a no-name,dull, below
average, less than an or-dinary human being. Yes, my Lord, Ihave
not fulfilled my duties. A life-time without any accomplishment isa
life wasted. Yes my Lord, I havewasted this precious life that you
havegranted me on this earth, and I havereturned to face you with
emptyhands.The end is near, and I can feel thefinish line. Today I
am very frustrated,suffocated and depressed to the pointthat I do
not believe in Duaa anymore.However, I raise these empty handsfor
may be the last time. Oh my Lord,my Rab, Oh Allah, please grant me
apeaceful death with Iman. Pleasegrant me forgiveness. You are
Rahmanand Raheem. Aameen.

He(SAW) didn’t pass through a hurricane, buthe (SAW) was making
the shukr to Allah SWT.As human beings; we suffer from the
qualityof forgetfulness. We so easily forget! Weask Allah SWT for
everything, to not harmour families, our businesses, our lives.
WhenAllah SWT’s help and assistance comes, dowe really remember
Allah SWT? Do we reallythank Allah SWT? Do we really get back
towhat the Qur’an and Sunnah has taught us?My brothers and sisters,
it’s interesting thatAllah SWT teaches us by signs. Nowadays,you
have so many trials and calamities hap-pening all over the world!
The shortcomingsthat we have, the Salah, the Zakat, the Hajj;what
about all these orders that we were shorton? Why do we not ask
ALLAH SWT for for-giveness?! What about our eternal homes? Wewere

RABBI-UL-AWWAL 1438 A.H
It’s no myth that exercise helps increaseour body’s ability to
live a longer life. Manypeople believe that in order to receive
allof the benefits of exercise you need to startat a young age.
While it’s to your benefit
Dr. Mohsin Jaffer has been practicing family medicine in Broward
Countyfor nearly 30 years focusing on the care of seniors. His
practice, SeniorMedical Associates has 10 convenient locations
throughout Broward County.Contact Senior Medical Associates at
(954) 659-9690 to schedule a compli-mentary Meet and Greet for you
or your loved one today.
HEALTH & PHYSICAL FITNESS
to begin exercising while young, there is no denying the
impor-tance and impact of exercise on a persons well being at any
age,especially for seniors. It is common for seniors to believe
thereis no purpose in beginning or continuing to exercise as they
age.I am here to tell you, there is a great purpose. Let me help
clarifysome of the myths associated with exercise and senior
citizens,as well as give you some insight on the advantages
physicalactivity can have on your body. I have too many hurdles
toovercome. Consistent physical activity allows your body to
de-crease, or in some cases even eliminate, the risk of health
condi-tions and illness’ which may lead to increased medication
intakeand frequent hospitalizations. While there are inevitable
physicalaspects that will occur beyond your control, there are
thingsthat you can improve such as your posture and weight. It’s
toolate for me. It is never too late to improve your health.
Sciencehas proven that elders who have taken up exercise in their
lateryears show greater physical and mental improvements over
theyounger generation. What if I fall? The positive factors
associ-ated with physical fitness and seniors include the
improvementof flexibility, endurance, strength and balance. As you
build upyour bones, your balance becomes increasingly more
stable,which lessens your chances of falls and other injuries that
un-fortunately may occur often. You’re too tired to exercise?
Exer-cise actually improves your ability to sleep and can provide
youwith more energy. There’s just to much for me to do. You
maynotice you are able to manage daily stress a lot better too.
Toyour advantage, many of the diseases associated with aging maybe
prevented simply from exercising. Start off with body weightbearing
exercises and slowly increase resistance to ease yourbody. Walk a
block and increase your distance and graduallyyour speed each day.
Consistency is key. Everything hurts, Ican’t exercise. If you
suffer from wounds, it has been notedthat with exercise, the
wound-healing process speeds up. Con-sult with your doctor who can
help you develop a personalizedexercise plan that will fit your
needs. Your doctor will most likelyperform a physical examination
on you and review your medi-cations to be certain exercise has no
effect on the medicationsyou are taking. There is no excuse or
boundary to physical fit-ness. Think of physical fitness as not
just adding years to yourlife but adding life to your years. It is
a good way to keep youmotivated and ready to get moving.

Ilm (knowledge) is a vital tool needed forthe success of Muslims
if we are to shapethis world of ours. Many Muslims of cen-turies
(7th to 13th) gone by took up such aresponsibility and lit the
world with a daz-
zling array of discoveries and developments in the
academicdomain of mathematics. Those centuries were regarded asthe
golden age of Muslim learning. Towering above most as
amathematician and known for his intellectual rigour was
Al-Khwarizmi of the ninth century in the Arab world. His
math-ematical treatise or work “Al-Jabr wa Al-Muqabala” (Book
ofCalculations, Restoration and Reduction) was a pivitol pointin
academia as from the book’s title (the phrase al jabr) thename
algebra originated, hence him being known as the Fa-ther of
Algebra. A translation of that algebra book by Al-Khwarizmi from
Arabic to Latin was done in 1145 by Robertof Chester an Englishman.
Al –Khwarizmi also authored manyother books in mathematics, one of
them being an arithmetictext that was translated a few times. All
of Khwarizmi’s math-ematical works were colossal in their
influences. Another classmathematician was Al-Karaji, a Persian of
the 10th century.His inputs ran the gamut of mathematics viz.
arithmetic, alge-bra and geometry. The method of proof by
mathematical in-duction was developed and made famous by him. Al-
Kafi fiAl-Hisab’ (Essentials of Arithmetic) was one of two
famousbooks written by him and which provided computational
guide-lines or rules thus others’ claim of his arithmetization of
alge-bra. In the 13th century came a brilliant mathematician
fromPersia and he was Al-Tusi. Spherical trigonometry becamehis
specialty. One should not forget the giant in mathematicsknown as
Al-Biruni (973-1050 CE). Among his grandiose ac-complishments was
his calculation of the earth’s circumfer-ence in a unique way.
Straddling both fields of poetry andmathematics was a bulb that
glowed in the early 12th centuryand one who was a versatile genius,
Omar Khayyam. Thismathematician shone in algebraic geometry.
However, OmarKhayyam was in many circles more recognized in the
literarysphere of poetry. Other Muslim mathematicians who
excelledwere ibn Qurra (9th century), ibn Sinan,and al-Uqlidisi
(10thcentury), al-Haytham (Alhazen) of the 11th century and the13th
century pair of al-Farisi and al-Marrakushi. Since the ar-ticles
focuses on mathematics, I would pose a problem ofthat nature to
tickle one’s imagination: There are five num-bers A, B, C, D and E.
The sum of the five numbers is dividedby the product of five
specially selected factors (one suitablefactor chosen from each of
the five numbers) and results in a1) Quotient of forty-two and a 2)
Remainder that is equal to(Product of factors- Sum of factors).Find
the five numbersA, B, C, D and E that will satisfy the conditions
of 1) and 2)above in the problem. Let us all wet our feet in
mathematicsto better understand and develop the world in which we
live.

RABBI-UL-AWWAL 1438 A.H
It is as though the two complement eachother. Prayer without
active charity wouldbe an empty ritual, and charity that is notdone
in the name of Allaah SWT wouldhave the wrong motive, and therefore
beunworthy. We must “spend out of oursubstance, out of Love for
Him…” andfor that reason alone. Not for any otherreason, not to
massage our vanity, nor toimpress other people. Spending on
Zakaat,Fitra and Sadaqa should be motivatedpurely by our deep sense
of gratitude andLove for Allaah SWT. We must constantlyremind
ourselves, that no matter howlearned or wealthy or successful
wemight become, we entered this world withnothing, and we will
leave it, with nothingexcept a record of our deeds. By spendingin
the way of Allaah SWT, out of love forHim, we are simply following
the naturalorder of things, just as the fruit treesblossom in our
garden, spend their lovelyfragrance and delicious fruits freely
onus. There is no other reason for theirexistence, but to glorify
Allaah SWT, andto serve His creatures. It is the same withman.
There is no other reason for ourexistence, but to glorify Allaah
SWT, andto be of service to His creation. What aboutthose who
deliberately refuse to spendtheir wealth, their time, their talents
andskills, in a way that pleases Allaah SWT?They range from the
frugal, cautious withmoney types to those who are downrightselfish,
stingy & miserly. What has theQur’an to say about them? In the
lastverse of Surah Muhammad [47:38] weare warned that selfishness,
niggardliness,is the work of Iblees/Satan: “Behold youare those
invited to spend (of yoursubstance) in the way of Allaah: butamong
you are some that are niggardly.Any who are niggardly are so at
theexpense of their own souls. Allaah is freeof all wants and it is
you that are needy.If you turn back (from the Path) He
willsubstitute in your stead another people;then they would not be
like you!” Clearly,Allaah SWT does not love those who areselfish.
Selfishness betrays a lack of trust,a lack of faith in Allaah’s
mercy.

A “day to remember” in early OctoberAn experience etched in the
heart forever
Mothers, Fathers, sons and daughtersMingled in harmony to the
sound of laughterNo one imagined the heartache to unfold
The insanity of man’s inhumanity in abeautiful world.
Music thus known to be the “food of love”As many a heart glow
under the sky above,Evil shall not prevail over the love of man
For we shall together hand in hand......No matter the chimes of
the villainous mind
The light of love shall forever shine,Mankind was created to
know one another
For love and kindness shall bind usforever!

Faces bowed to this mystery of natureLives lost, buildings no
more as she moves
in anger...What lies ahead to the helpless in Barbuda
and DominicaFor they know not the destruction to come
as dark clouds gather,Overwhelmed with fear as they run to
cover
For they have no answer to this fury ofnature!!!!
Birds take cover, paved paths submerged inwater
Rooftops and tree tops mingled together,The once lush green
forests stand still but
now bareScenes of untold destruction beyond
compare.Tearful eyes now look around in despair
Cries for help echoes throughout thedampened air,
All the world tearful, look on at this totaldevastation
As she swaggers proud, creating a litany ofeverlasting
destruction.
As stated in the verse, “Were you tofollow the common run of
those onearth, they will lead you away fromthe way of God” (Qur’an,
6:116), thatmost of society share a common char-acter creates a
“mass” psychology thatreinforces the already-existing disbe-lief.
God describes such societies thatare unmindful of Him and the
Hereaf-ter as “ignorant” in the Qur’an. Eventhough the members of
this societymay study physics, history, biology orsimilar sciences,
they do not have thesense and conscience to acknowledgethe power
and might of God. And theyare ignorant in that sense. Because
themembers of an ignorant society are notdevoted to God, they go
astray fromHis path in different ways. They fol-low people who are
incompetent ser-vants of God just like themselves, tak-ing them as
examples and adhering totheir ideas as absolute truths.
Ultimatelyan ignorant society ends up a closedsociety that
increasingly blinds itself,becoming further and further
divorcedfrom reason and conscience.

RABBI-UL-AWWAL 1438 A.HContinued from page 7 By: Rev. Thomas
Graf
This is my head , that has to bowTo keep me fit, and serve the
Lord
This is my face, that’s beauty to meThe index of mind, to show
more kind.
My face has also a broad foreheadTo glorify my God in
prostrationA pair of ears, to hear any sound
Which we hear onQuranic recitation.These are my eyes a gift from
God
To read and grasp the Words of LordFrom the most revealed Holy
books
And to avoid any evil and lusty looks.To smell with nose,a
beautiful rose
And when you sneeze do thank AllahOn hearing this you say,
May Allah bless you In return you pray for their guidance
This mouth is to speak nothing but goodThe tongue that tastes
all lawful food
My lips that make me smile a whileThese are such qualities you
make avail.
My neck and chest, with shouldersabreast
My hips and back, are parts in me.These are my hands, with elbow
and palmMy fingers that count numbers to tenThese are my thighs
with a pair of knees
My feet has also soles and toesMy legs are meant to go
anywhere
But then should you be always aware
To walk to places of highest learningAnd get the reward for
God’s yearningMy mind’s so clear of malice and ills
But with LOVE to cheer all friends alike.

Did they feel a sense of superiority whenthey told her off? Did
they feel empow-ered while belittling this young lady as alltheir
friends at the table watched? If wechecked off yes to these
questions, thenwe are no better off than the youngwoman, who did
not know much aboutIslam. Thankfully, most of us would nothave
reacted in this negative way; how-ever, the worrisome fact is that
this typeof behavior of judging and criticizing oth-ers (muslims or
non-muslims) happensvery frequently amongst responsible
adultsisters, who are supposed to know bet-ter. We always find ways
to criticize andto condemn others, whether it’s aboutsomeone’s
children, spouse, job, attire,appearance etc. We are always
pointingfingers at others, all the while spreading“our” judgmental
views, without lookingat our own situation. Sisters, let us
repli-cate the gentleness of the Prophet (SAW)when trying to
correct others. Let us tryto respect and coexist with those that
arenot of our deen and let us pray that we allmay be rightly
guided, and let us controlour urge to pass judgement on others.Our
tongues are like double-edgedswords, they can work for us and
againstus, both in this world and the Hereafter.We will be held
accountable for what wesay. Allah (SWT )tells us: {He (man) doesnot
utter a statement except that there isan observer by him ready to
record it.}(50: 18). The Quran also teaches us, “The(true) servants
of Allah (SWT), the MostGracious are those who walk on the earthin
humility, and when the ignorant addressthem, they reply with (words
of) peace.”The Holy Quran, 25:63. May Allah (SWT)forgive us for all
our mistakes and guideus to make a concerted effort to correctour
ill actions, and to seek more knowl-edge of our beautiful was of
life. Ameen.

From this unselfish act has arisen a move-ment world-wide to
nurture such COM-MUNITIES OF RECONCILIATION,who attempt to feed the
appropriate wolfwithin and thus become possible instru-ments of
peace throughout our world.Our Church of St. James here in the
Keysis a unique place, our people have im-pressed me greatly. We
have held re-treats/seminars and workshops withpeople of different
faiths and orientations.We look forward to Shaikh ShafayatMohammad
and members of Darul Ullomjoining with us for prayer, and to
discusssimilarities and differences within ourfaith traditions. I
ask your continuedprayers and support for our Church ofSt. James
the Fisherman, as we entermore fully into the process of
becomingsuch a “Community of the Cross ofNails,” and attempt to
commit ourselvesmore fully to be instruments of God’shealing
presence and reconciliation in ourworld.
