Children are "born believers" in God and do not simply acquire religious beliefs through indoctrination, according to an academic.
Research @ University of Oxford - Dr. Justin Barret

We like to read these "academic" things, but have we ever read this hadith from the one who we claim we love?
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every child is born in a state of fitrah (the natural state of man, i.e., Islam, worshipping One God), then his parents make him into a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist.” (Sahih Muslim).

Best Investment during economic crisis
Best Investment during economic crisis
As many of us have been investing in Stocks, Mutual Funds and other things that have collapsed, failed and have proven to be of no real value in this economic downfall. Dr. Zakir Naik a prominent Dae' have spent his time investing in more important matters. Investment in something every single one of us should attempt to invest in. An investment that continues even after death and its ROI (Return on Investment) is from Allah (subhana wa tala).
Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When a man dies, his good deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge and a righteous son (child) who will pray for him.” Narrated by Muslim, 3084.
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The good deeds that will reach a believer after his death are: knowledge which he learned and then spread; a righteous son (child) whom he leaves behind; a copy of the Qur’aan that he leaves as a legacy; a mosque that he built; a house that he built for wayfarers; a canal that he dug; or charity that he gave during his lifetime when he was in good health. These deeds will reach him after his death.” Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.
Pray that Allah preserves this child, strenghtens his Iman and allows him to cause the impact his father has had or MORE!...The question is.. where is your impact???

House in Jannah
assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barkatuh,
A large Masjid is being built in Australia which needs financing. You can donate online, check out their website as it has a video of the plan as well. Shaykh Bilal Assad is connected with this Masjid, most of you all know who he is.
This is an amazing opportunity for you to invest is what really matters, which is the akhira. Even if you put a small amount regardless of how little it is, it is the intention that is the most important. This is a means of sadaqa-jariya/Continious Charity which lives on after a person has passed away and benefits him/her in the grave.
So take advantage!! If i gave you an amazing job offer with great benefits, for sure you would take it!! Wallahi this is better than that offer!
Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) said,
"There will be none among you but his Lord will talk to him, and there will be no interpreter between him and Allah. He will look to his right and see nothing but his deeds which he has sent forward, and will look to his left and see nothing but his deeds which he has sent forward, and will look in front of him and see nothing but the (Hell) Fire facing him. So save yourself from the (Hell) Fire even with half a date (given in charity)." [Bukhari]

Fasting in the Month of Muharram
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best fasting after Ramadaan is the month of Allaah Muharram, and the best prayer after the obligatory prayer is prayer at night. (Tahajud)” (Narrated by Muslim)
Ibn Abbas (Radhiyallahu-Anhu) reports: "that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) said: "The one that keeps a fast in the month of Muharram will receive the reward of thirty fasts for each fast (in this sacred month)." (At-Tabraani)
According to Ibn Abbas Radhiallaho Anhu, when the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam migrated to Madinah, he found that the Jews of Madinah used to fast on the 10 th day of Muharram. They said that it was the day on which the Prophet Musa Alayhis Salaam and his followers crossed the Red Sea miraculously, and the Pharaoh was drowned in its water. On hearing this from the Jews, the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam said, "We are more closely related to Musa than you." So the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam directed the Muslims to fast on the day of Ashura. (Abu Dawood)
The Prophet (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) has exhorted and encouraged his Ummah to fast on this day. He said: "This fast[Aahura] is a compensation for the (minor) sins of the past year." (Muslim)
Ibn Abbas (Radhiyallahu-Anhu) said: "When Rasulullah (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) observed the fast of the day of Aashora and ordered (his Companions) to fast, they said: `O Rasulullah! It is a day revered (glorified) by the Jews and Christians.' Thereupon Rasulullah said: "The coming year, if Allah wills (I remain alive), I will surely fast on the ninth (also)." (Muslim)
The Prophet (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) said: "Observe the fast of Aashora and oppose the Jews. Fast a day before it or a day after." (Baihaqi)
Rasulullah (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) said: "One who generously spends on his family on the day of Aashora, Allah will increase (his provision) for the whole year." (Baihaqi)
And Allah Knows Best!
