QUOTE
Umar RA said: "Praise Allah, for through praise, His blessings multiply. Fear Allah for that is fortune; [whereas] indifference to Allah is misfortune. Be patient because patience is a pillar of faith. Acquire knowledge and teach it to the people. Be dignified, honest and truthful. Do not be an arrogant scholar, for scholarship cannot subsist with arrogance.”
 
PERSONALITY
ABU BAKR AL-MAKHZOOMI (000 - 94 AH)
------------------------------------------
Abu Bakr bin 'Abd Ar-Rahman bin Al-Harith bin Hishaam Al-Makhzoomi Al-Qurashi was one of the seven eminent jurists of the Taabi'een, (the generation that followed the Sahaabah {the Companions of the Prophet}). He was called 'Raahib' (the monk or friar) by the Quraysh, due to his prayers and fasting.

He was an authoritative source, a reliable scholar and was known for his generosity. He heard noble Hadith (traditions of the Prophet - Peace be upon him) from a number of the esteemed Companions (Sahaabah) of the Prophet (Peace be upon him), which he comprehended and then memorised. Celebrated for his education of jurisprudential decisions from texts, the people abided by his legal opinions. Blind, he died in the year 94 AH and was buried in Al-Baqi'a, (the cemetery of Madinah).

HANDY HINT
Homemade Level --If you are building something and need to know if it is level, simply fill a jar 3/4 full with water and put some food colouring in it so it will be easy to see. Use it like you would a level. Place the jar on a shelf or picture frame to see if it is level by checking the water level.
 
FIQH

It is Makruh to sit in Salaah in the following ways: to sit on one's heels, to squat, to sit like a dog.

However, if a person cannot sit in the prescribed way because of some sickness or pain, then one can sit in whichever position that is comfortable to him. In this case, nothing will be Makruh.

A THOUGHT
20 MINUTES OF TAHAJJUD
--------------------------

Some people say that a person without a job is busier than a person who is working because a jobless person is always going here and there to look for jobs. Even if this person gets a job that requires him to stay up all night will do so as he needs to earn money. This is the nature of human beings. When he knows the value of something, he will try to attain it even if it be hard for him.

Allah Ta'ala has granted us the gift of Tahajjud Prayer. Through this prayer, we can get many blessings from Allah. Problems such as sickness, family issues, money, hunger, etc can easily be removed by praying to Allah at Tahajjud time. However, because we did not recognize the value of this prayer, it is very difficult for us to spare only 10-20 minutes of our sleep to get up and pray. On the other hand, for some money, we are ready to stay up the whole night.

 
THE SMILE
DEALING WITH TROUBLE
------------------------

A deputy police officer responded to a report of a disturbance. The "disturbance" turned out to be well over six feet tall and weighed almost 300 pounds. What's more, he boasted that he could whip the deputy.

Said the policeman, "I'll bet that you're also an escape artist-probably better than Houdini."

The giant nodded.

"If I had some chains," the deputy continued, "you could show us how strong you really are. But all I've got is a set of handcuffs. Why don't you see just how quickly you can break out of them?"

Once in the cuffs, the man puffed, pulled and jerked for four minutes. "I can't get out of these," the giant growled.

"Are you sure?" the deputy asked. The fellow tried again. "Nope," he replied. "I can't do it."

"In that case," said the deputy, "you're under arrest."
