Islam is free from the misguided few in terrorist in our rank
there are over 1 billion muslims on earth thats 1000 000 000 people and Yes a very small fraction of muslims as misguided as they have become are terrorist . Planting bombs and killing people but consider this Northern Ireland , a part of Ireland occupied by the British forces to this very day where British kills a couple Irish every now and again . The irish Catholic Christians formed what is in effect a terrorist organization the IRA and they plant bombs and assassinate ppl every now and again , do we then now say that all Christians are terrorist this is what the bible and pope teache ???? Of course not . The few radicalized Catholic Christians who form the IRA do not do this from Christianity no more that the few radicalized muslims do the same form islam . B4 U go out judging a whole religion and the massive part of humanity that adhere to thte fate something 25 % and the fastest religion in the world . Learn something about , read the Qoran , U can get it online and many places for free . And if U find in the Koran what u think is there then U know 4 sure that you are right .............................. just to point it out U may just change your mind

How does one Attain Sincerity?
Wednesday, 20 June 2007
ImageA brief excerpt from Imaam Ibnul-’Uthaymeen’s explanation of Riyaadus-Saaliheen demonstrating the importance of sacrifice as a means to attain piety and sincerity.
As for renouncing the love of praise and commendation then this is made easy by your knowing that there is no one who can praise you such that it would benefit you, or censure and vilify you such that it would harm you save Allaah alone.
Sincerity cannot coexist in a heart that contains the love of praise and commendation and the yearning to possess that which is owned by the people save in the manner that fire and water or a lizard and fish may coexist.
If your soul directs you to seek sincerity then first turn your attention towards your yearning and slaughter it with the knife of renunciation. Then turn your attention towards praise and commendation and forsake it with the asceticism of those who loved the world for the sake of the Hereafter. When your slaughtering of your yearning and the renunciation of praise and commendation becomes firm then attaining sincerity will become easy for you.
If it is asked: what may facilitate the act of slaughtering ones yearning and renouncing the love of praise and commendation?I would reply: as for slaughtering your yearning then this is made easy by you having certain knowledge that there is nothing that one would desire except that its treasures are in the Hand of Allaah alone and none has power over it save Him. There is no one who may bestow these things to a servant except for Allaah.
As for renouncing the love of praise and commendation then this is made easy by your knowing that there is no one who can praise you such that it would benefit you, or censure and vilify you such that it would harm you save Allaah alone. This is what occurs in the hadeeth in which the Arab said to the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam), "my being praised is adornment and my being vilified is disgrace," to which the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, "that is (for) Allaah."
[Reported by at-Tirmidhee [no. 3266] with a saheeh isnaad from Baraa`a bin Aazib (RA).]
So renounce the praise of one whose praise cannot beautify you and the vilification of one whose censure cannot disgrace you! Instead desire the praise of the One whose commendation contains perfect beauty and the One whose censure contains total disgrace. This cannot be attained except after patience and certainty for when there is no patience and certainty then you are like one who wished to traverse an ocean without a vessel to carry him!
Allaah said,
"Be patient! Indeed the Promise of Allaah is true and let not those who are devoid of certainty discourage you from conveying (the message)." [al-Rum (30):60]
"We have made from amongst them leaders, guiding under Our Command when they were patient and believed in Our Signs with certainty." [al-Sajdah (32):24]
[Taken from 'An Explanation to Riyaadh as-Saaliheen' Vol1, Trans. Abu Sulaymaan and modified.] Al-Fawaa`id [218-219] of Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, may Allaah have mercy upon him.]

Pleasing people from Prophet's Prayer by imam al albani
When I adopted these principles for myself, i.e. to adhere to the authentic Sunnah, and to implement them in this book as well as others, I knew for sure that this would not satisfy every group of people or sect; in fact, it would result in some, if not most of them, insulting or criticising me. This does not matter to me, for I also know that to please everyone is an unattainable notion, and that "He who pleases the people by angering Allaah, Allaah will entrust him to the people", Prophet's Prayer by imam al albani
