Save A Life - Donate NOW!
Over ten thousand have been arrested
for their participation in the demonstrations. The humanitarian
situation in Syria went from bad to worse. Makeshift hospitals and poor
emergency aid has lead to many being deprived of receiving adequate
medical attention.
For months aid agencies have received
worrying reports of violence against civilians in Syria, yet the
International community still has not been granted full access to
properly assess their humanitarian needs. We need access now, to
provide aid and assistance wherever it is required.
We are particularly worried about the
situation of children, young people, women, the elderly, the sick and
wounded, and of people displaced by recent military operations, as well
as by reports of arbitrary detentions. The injured and wounded must
have access to medical treatment without fear of reprisals.
We need your support. Please help us support the cause and donate generously.

WIVES OF THE PROPHET: ZAYNAB IBNT KHUZAYMA(RA)
The wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) are known as the mothers
of all believers. This status has been conferred on them by God, as He
says in the Qur’an: “The Prophet has more claim on the believers than
they have on their own selves; and his wives are their mothers.” (33: 6)
One of them, however, has an additional title of motherhood. She is
Zaynab bint Khuzaymah, known as the mother of the poor. She earned this
title because of her compassionate heart and her ready generosity. She
was apparently always kind to the poor, and her kindness became greater
when she married the Prophet.
The Prophet married Zaynab bint Khuzaymah in the third year of the Islamic calendar, only a few months after he had married Hafsah bint Umar. The exact date of the marriage cannot be ascertained, as we have different reports none of which can be given greater weight. Moreover, there is some confusion about her earlier marriages. What is certain is that she was married to Ubaydah ibn Al-Harith, who was the first martyr in the Battle of Badr, the first major battle fought by the Muslims under the Prophet’s leadership. Reports suggest that before Ubaydah, Zaynab was married to his brother Al-Tufayl, but other reports say that she was married to Jahm ibn Amr, who was her cousin.
Zaynab does not feature in any reports of major events that took place during the Prophet’s lifetime. This is mainly due to the fact that she did not stay long in the Prophet’s home. She died soon after her marriage. Some reports suggest that she only stayed with the Prophet for two or three months, while others put the figure at eight months. She then died, aged 30. Her short stay in the Prophet’s home meant that she was not involved in any disagreement or friction of the type that occurs between women living in the same home. Her marriage to the Prophet seems to be a mere short stay before she completed her journey of this life, passing away into the everlasting world.
It is important not to confuse this Zaynab with another wife of the Prophet with the same name. The other was Zaynab bint Jahsh, who was also known for her kindness to the poor. That one was the Prophet’s own cousin and her marriage involved the implementation of new legislation clearly outlined in the Qur’an. We will have more to say about this when we look at the Prophet’s marriage to her.
Apart from Khadijah, Zaynab bint Khuzaymah was the only one of the Prophet’s wives to die during his lifetime. All the others survived him. She was buried at Al-Baqee, the cemetery of Madinah, which was the resting place of many of the Prophet’s companions.

HADITH OF THE WEEK!(ZAKAH)
Narrated / Authority of: Abu Huraira
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His. They are: (1) a just ruler; (2) a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone) sincerely from his childhood), (3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosque (who offers the five compulsory congregational prayers in the mosque); (4) two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only; (5) a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah; (6) a person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity). (7) a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears."

HOW FAR AHEAD ISLAM IS!
Over 1400 years ago, when a child was born, Prophet Muhammad ( Allah's
peace & blessings be upon him) made it his Sunnah to take a small
part of a date, chew it until it was soft and then rub it onto the
palate of a new born baby. This is called Tahneek. Today, BBC News has
reported that "experts" have said, " A dose of sugar given as a gel
rubbed into the inside of the cheek is a cheap and effective way to
protect premature babies against brain damage". This is why Muslims
follow the sunnah of the Messenger (Allah's peace & blessings be
upon him) without questioning. Science is only now discovering a
tradition that was introduced 1400 years ago because Islam was and still
is the forefront of development. Link to the article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/
