THE MOSQUITO
The Mosquito, an ordinary little creature! Allah gives us its example in the Quran, to show us how this little creature has an extremely complicated nature.
1-
It is a female.
2- It has one hundred eyes in its head.
3- It has 48 teeth in its mouth.
4- Inside its little body there are three complete Hearts.
5- It has six knives in its nose and each knife has its special use.
6- It has three wings on each side.
7- In the body of this insect is a digital X-RAY machine, which it uses
to distinguish the human skin in the dark, in violet colour.
8- Its body also contains a small vaccine working as a local anaesthetic
to help it to insert its thorns in the human skin without any feel or
pain caused by the suction of the blood.
9- It has an instrument for blood testing, because it doesn't like all
blood types.
10-It has a special mechanism to speed up the blood flow so it can draw
it faster.
And the most strange discovery by Science is that there is another very small microscopic insect living on top of this Mosquito.
That is what Allah Ta'aala means in the Noble Quraan: "Lo! Allah disdaineth not to coin the similitude even of a Mosquito and whatever is above it." (Baqara, Verse 26)
How is it possible to crush with our fingers, a creature that has the ability to pierce through our skin. Now lets ponder for a while...Can man produce such a miracle. If man, with all their wealth, intelligence and technology come together and attempt to create a mosquito... they will fail hopelessly!
DUA (SUPPLICATION)
Q.
When can a person make Dua?
A.
Unlike other acts of worship, a person can make Dua at any time of the
day.
Q.
Can Dua be made in any language?
A.
Yes, Dua can be made in any language. Dua should be made in a language
where the person has the ability to express him/herself the best. Dua
can also be made in multiple languages e.g. Begin with arabic and thereafter
ask in english.
Q.
Is wudhu necessary for Dua?
A.
Wudhu is not necessary however it is better to make Dua with Wudhu.
Dua is also not confined to the Masjid. A person can make Dua anywhere.
Q.
Is there any recommended method of making Dua?
A. It is reccomended to start your Dua with the praises
of Allah, then send peace (Durood) upon Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam,
then commence with your supplication. In the same way when one has completed
his/her Dua, he/she should end his/her Dua by first sending peace (Durood)
upon Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam, then praising Allah. A person
should make Dua in a humble manner adopting humility and showing Allah
Ta'aala that he/she is in need.
Q.
Is it necessary that ones Dua is accepted?
A. Yes, all Duas are accepted however it can be accepted
in three ways:
1) A person gets what he/she asks for immediately or at a later stage
in life.
2) He/She does not get exactly what he/she asks for however his/her
dua will be a means of saving him/her from a future calamity that was
meant for him/her.
3) The Dua will not be answered in this life. He/She will see the reward
for making that Dua in the hereafter. When a person sees the reward
for making a particular Dua, he/she will wish that none of his/her Duas
got accepted in this world.

* A teenager died after being hit by a truck while cycling in Camperdown, 50km outside Durban, paramedics said.

* Astonished by the uprising in Egypt, Western countries anxious to be on the right side of history have started to reassess ties to army-backed Arab strongmen stubbornly opposed to democracy.
* At least 50 people have died as a mutiny in the Sudan army spread through towns in oil-producing Upper Nile state, stoking tension as the south prepares for independence, the military said.
