Airtel Hacking

Airtel live free
A little hack found on the forums on about how to access the net from a pc using a mobile with Airtel prepaid card. Enjoy!
Raw Materials: PC/Laptop and necessary connectivity tools ,ie.,
Serial/USB cable OR Infrared Device OR Bluetooth dongle to connect the mobile to the computer.
1) Activate Airtel Live! ( It’s FREE so no probs)
2)Create TWO Airtel GPRS data accounts (yep TWO) and select the
FIRST as the active profile.
3) Connect your mobile to the PC (or Laptop) and install the driver for
your mobile’s modem.
4) Create a new dial-up connection using the NEW CONNECTION
WIZARD as follows
Connecting Device : Your mobile’s modem
ISP Name : Airtel (or anything you like)
Phone Number : *99***2#
Username and Password : blank
5) Configure your browser and download manager to use the proxy
100.1.200.99 and port 8080.( My advice is to use Opera since you
can browse both wap and regular websites)
6) Connect to the dial-up account. You will be connected at 115.2
kbps (but remember, that is a bad joke).
7) Pick up your mobile and try to access any site. You will get “Access
Denied…”(except for Airtel Live!). IT DOES NOT MATTER.
Keep the mobile down.
8 ) On the PC ( or Laptop) open your browser, enter any address ,
press ENTER and…….WAIT
9) After a few seconds the page will start to load and you have the
WHOLE internet at your disposal.
10) Thank the one who gave you this hack!
Tested and working, leave your comments so that I can know if it works or not.

The poor in India's cities are in many ways worse off than those in rural areas

The poor in India's cities are in many ways worse off than those in rural areas, says Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation Minister Kumari Selja, pointing out that the urban population is set to double in the next 25 years to over 600 million.

'About 300 million people live in towns and cities underserved by utilities, with inadequate housing and increasingly choking traffic. The condition of the urban poor is by many measures worse than the poor in rural areas, towards which special attention has been given during various five year plans,' Selja, who also holds the tourism portfolio, told IANS in an interview.

'Within 25 years, another 300-400 million people will be added to Indian towns and cities,' said Selja, pointing out that making India slum-free was more of 'an aspirational goal'.

The minister, who is an MP from Ambala, Haryana, said a major thrust was necessary in physical, financial and human infrastructure in cities and in governance and technical capabilities to promote holistic and inclusive growth of urban areas.

She said states had 'only now' begun to appreciate the consequences of the inexorable growth of urban population on the economy, human development indicators and the social fabric as also its political ramifications.

At the beginning of the Eleventh Five Year Plan, there was an urban housing shortage of 24.7 million in the country, with a 99 percent shortfall pertaining to the economically weaker sections and lower income groups.

When asked about this, Selja said the National Urban Housing and Habitat Policy, 2007, has several features including spatial incentives like additional floor area ratio and transferable development rights.

Selja said the construction of 1.55 million houses had been sanctioned under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) in the last five years and the construction of one million houses would be taken up in partnership with private developers, state undertakings and urban local bodies.

The scheme will be dovetailed with the Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) - the main instrument of the government to make the country slum free which is in the preparatory phase right now.

Asked if the government would be able to realise the target of making India free of slums in five years as mentioned in a speech of President Pratibha Patil in 2009, the minister said the 'goal is aspirational'.

'The significance of the president's announcement lies in the importance the government is placing on the issues of inclusion and improving the lot of urban slum dwellers,' she said.

Referring to the Deepak Parekh report, which went into the draft guidelines of RAY, she said it had mentioned that the target of removing slums cannot be achieved in five years.

'The states must come on board and assign property rights to slum dwellers. The central government will provide them all help to create slum-free India at the earliest,' she said.

Kumari Selja said states such Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Orissa had done good work to prepare action plans under RAY for the removal of slums in their cities.

She said Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal were among the states that were lagging behind in preparing action plans.

Asked about the Pranob Sen report which projected the slum population at over 93 million (7.75 percent of country's population) by 2011, she explained that a cluster of 60 or more houses was earlier categorised as a slum, but the report had recommended that a cluster of 20-25 houses without basic amenities should be treated in the same category.

The minister said it was important to tackle the issue of existing slums and also underlying causes. 'Unless you tackle the causes, new slums will keep coming up. RAY has adopted a city-based approach - whole slum, whole city,' she said.

Selja said a model regulatory bill for the real estate sector would be ready in about three months. She said housing and real estate were state subjects and it was for the states to take a decision on the regulatory mechanism.

However, she said, once the model bill was in place, public pressure would mount on states for creating regulatory authority.

Asked if states were implementing the JNNURM norm to reserve at least 20-25 percent of the development land in public and private housing projects for economically weaker sections, she said Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh had made legal provisions while Andhra Pradesh had issued executive orders. The Delhi master plan 2021 has also provided such reservation.

'We are planning a legal framework by all states for reservation of land in all housing colonies under RAY.'

She said taking note of the rapid urbanisation in the country, the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government had launched JNNURM in 2005. The seven-year programme provides for allocation of central financial assistance to cities for infrastructure, housing and capacity development

? Jan’s Story Why She Loves Islam
Sister Jan is an English Revert to Islam. She explains why she loves Islam so much. She converted from Christianity, “my friends say you were a Good Christian, why have you sold out?, almost is what they would imply.. my answer to that is well i didnt know about the Prophet (Muhammad ) so its been enriching of my faith” ……….

………..”It was only in the 1960s (in England), when we (women) could open a bank account without having our husband sign the bank cheque. Islamic Women have always had those rights. If i stick to what the Quran says to me, and what the message is, it is very clear to me, that i have total equality. Just do what it says, and nobody can argue with me on that.”…………..

Shahrukh Khan goes purple: Is he superstitious?

Shahrukh Khan goes purple: Is he superstitious? bilal ahmad . Posted: 13 Mar 2010 11:07 AM PST IPL 3 has commenced and Shahrukh khan is again all charged up about his team Kolkata Knight Riders. However, unlike the previous two editions, where his team jersey was a gold-n-black one, this time, SRK has gone purple. Since, the previous 2 seasons hadn’t seen great feats from KKR (who landed on the bottom rung in the last season), tongues are wagging that it’s superstition that has germinated this colour-changing decision on SRK’s mind. However, dismissing these reports, SRK quips, “If I were superstitious, I would’ve changed it after the first year itself. I heard that the Indian team is superstitious, but I’m not. What is important for me is that the harder I work, the luckier I feel. We don’t want to depend on luck, but have a change of attitude.” So, what made him zero in on purple? With a touch of wit that is synonymous with an energetic and enthusiastic Shahrukh, the ‘King Khan’ cites, “Dada (Saurav Ganguly, captain of KKR) likes purple; my daughter feels I look good in purple. It’s a conspiracy between Dada and Juhi. We’ve changed everything. We want to leave everything behind and start afresh. Also, the girls like it. So, we will make money out of it, and the girls will be all on our side.” And call it luck or destiny or superstition; the beginning has been good. The inaugural match saw KKR coming out victorious against the defenders Deccan Chargers……..

Is Islam more comprehensive and advanced religion?

THIS POST WAS WRITTEN BY BILAL ahmad

The Christianity was initially synonymous with monasticism. Jesus Christ insisted on giving up worldly interests such as trading, agriculture and industry. He even went to the extent to setting worldly wealth and heavenly abode dimetricaly opposite to each other. On the other hand the Jews were not only upto their necks in worldly wealth, but would not even mind using unfair means, such as interest. The wealth only changed hands among the rich. So a balanced religion was necessary for humanity.

Holy prophet Muhammad brought a religion which allows earning as much as one needs, but put two restrictions. One the means must be fair and just and secondly the money saved should circulate among the whole society and not the rich alone.Holy Quran has imposed a 2.5% Zakat on savings and made it as important as prayers. Prayers are not accepted until one has paid his poor dues. This not only reduced the hardships of the poor to a great extent, but also made the econmy robust. A rich man will only invest in enhancing his income. Whereas the poor spend a great proportion of their income on necessities, thus generating demand and resultant supply causing the wheel of the economy to move. Even today, the Islamic banks are least affected by financial crunch. On the other hand, large and famous banks are struggling to survive, in the west.

Do you think that Islamic model is more suitable for a balanced growth , compared to earlier religions?

Muhammad Javed Iqbal
GoddessA.,
No doubt many, if not most Muslim nations are backward and destitute. But it is due to two hundred years of exploitation By colonial powers. Now they are slowly coming up, but the international system is pushing them down. Because they are under the cloak of IMF. A Islamic model will give some beathing space to poorest of the poor and an impetus to overall economy. People need not convert to Islam to adopt the Islamic econmy. Like any other idea, it is global heritage for all the world.

Have you read Quran and Hadith? Islam gives equal rights to man and woman. But in certain courntries the traditions take precedence. Do not blame Islam for sins of so called Muslims.

THANK YOU for taking time to read this and answer my question.

Terrorism – The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological, beliefs of faith or political reasons.

Now the QQuestion and what has occurred to lead me to it?

Is Religion a Form of Mental Terrorism done by extremists?

I would fall asleep with vision of bible story’s read to me as a kid Terrorized me with visions of devils, and of hell with its everlasting fire and worms that never die,and of a place called purgatory, where the souls are purged until they are clean to enter heaven. It terrorReligions that rely on guilt and fear to control the sheeple are not attractive to people who can think for themselves or fear true questions of introspection that permits metal growth. People are threatened with so called hell and fire if they even begin to think for themselves! It is so sad that so many religious people make God out to be this evil being that punishes people over sin!That’s why they start with the young: teach them something that has no basis in fact, because they’re more likely to reject it if they pick it up as adults than if they memorize it as children.Considering that parents start indoctrinating their children at a very young age ”be good, and you be fine”!
But, if you don’t you’ll go to hell!
Now, how is that NOT terrorism??It’s just not religion, but people anxious from power? Wasn’t the church at 1 point the only position of power controlling education not allowing anyone to learn how to read.
I spent my whole childhood terrified of the dark, waiting for the devil to come and ”get me” for the least infraction of the rules.
I am positive that my parents were not intending to scare me to death, but the sad truth is that the result was the same!
It is so ingrained into your subconscious, it can’t help but flow over into your adult psyche, Religion is one of the most serious mental illnesses of today? Is it the inability to face the reality of life and the finality of death and they feed that fear with? or Is it more as mental slavery?

Now the idea of extremism

does extremism corrupt the ideas behind religion and its teachings?

All extremism is evil, it is a form of obsession/greed. so that being said why are we categorizing Islam under terrorism in the media? doesn’t anyone remember Timothy McVay bombing he was a national extremist? the true Terrorist is the extremist?

so that being said the extreme left wing, the extreme right wing, the extreme nationals, the extreme Christian(crusades, abortion clinic massacres), Jewish(western bank, war of the temple), Islamic(Western bank, war of the temple). Obsessing about ones religion and Forcing in on to others through any media or self is terrorism on the conscious mind? God loves only those that are catholic, i mean Islamic, ooppps i mean Jewish?

EXAMPLE so my RELIGION _____ makes me better then anyone else? and if don’t believe, your going to hell, limbo, whatever? what kind of Hippocratcie is that? god is universal, in my opinion i think hate should be a sin…..i don’t think god would want to teach hate, but acceptance of love.

we preach religious freedoms, but do we practice love for others? Puritan Massachusetts i, kicking out the Catholics and Jews in the 1600s to 1800s, sent them to Rhode Island with nothing but what they could carry.

where is there sense in that view point? what happened to respect or even rationality?

do u feel like the media is making attack on Islam?Don’t we need to fight all religious extremism Instead of one? I would love another perspective and opinion thank you for taking time to read this.

p.s i do believe in god/creator, i just don’t believe in organized religion.

SOLVE THE POVERTY

Should we give money to poor people !!!!

ZAKAAT (Alms)
Ramadan is the month of giving and benevolence, the Messenger was more benevolent than a falling rain. Muslims are encouraged to emulate the Messenger of Allah (saas), to assess and pay their Zakaat during the month of Ramadan, thus combining the two pillars of Islam at the same time.

Zakaat (alms) is the name of what a believer returns out of his or her wealth to the neediest of Muslims for the sake of the Almighty Allah. It is called Zakaat because the word Zakaat is from Zakaa which means, to increase, purify and bless.

Who Should Give Zakaat
The obligation of Zakaat is mandatory on every Muslim who possesses the minimum Nisaab, whether the person is man, woman, young, old sane or insane. Because the proof of Zakaat in Al-Qur`an and Sunnah is general and does not exclude young or insane. Allah (SWT) stated that: “Of their goods take alms so that thou mightiest purify and sanctify them…” (Al-Qur`an, 9: 103)

Imam Ibn Hazim said that every Muslim young or old sane or insane needs to cleanse his or her wealth with Zakaat because of generality of the evidence. Anas bin Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: “Trade with the money of the orphan, lest it is eaten up by Zakaat.” (At-Tabraani) In another Hadith `Amru bin Shuaib related from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allah said:

“Whoever is entrusted with money of an orphan should trade with it and should not leave it sitting to be used up by charity.” (Tirmidhi)

The point of reference in these reports is that the Messenger (saas) urged the trustee on the estate of people who due to age or other reasons cannot manage their own financial affairs, to invest it in a business that will yield a return and make it grow until they are in a position to do so themselves. For, if proper investment is not made with an ophan’s inheritance, it will be depleted by charity, thus leaving the orphan with little or nothing.

The Nisaab
The Lawgiver, Allah has prescribed the minimum amount that is obligatory for Zakaat in different ranges of properties, and that minimum amount is known as nisaab. The reason for nisaab is to ensure that no one is forced to give Zakaat out of what he or she does not have, and that no wealth goes without Zakaat. Nisaab is also an insurance against the tyranny of the state to tax the poor and or the neediest as is the case in many countries. Nisaab is a reference point for the average Muslim who is not sure whether he possesses the minimum wealth on which Zakaat is obligatory. The wealthy need not worry about the Nisaab. Zakaat is obligatory on their entire wealth and must be paid out at the end of financial year that they set for their Zakaat.

The Nisaab will not be valid unless it fulfills two conditions:
1) The amount that has reached Nisaab must be the excess or surplus known as “faadil” from one’s essential needs such as food, clothing, housing, vehicles, tools and machinery that is used in business. The essentials for living are exempted from Zakaat.

Although what constitutes nisaab may change from one country to another, the amount that is needed for the basic needs of living in different countries is very similar, because the market place determines the prices, whether it is an official market or a non-official market. In the poorest countries people do without or live below the poverty standard, and that is why many go hungry or without basic essentials.

However, we must realize that Zakaat is an act of worship (ebadah) like Salaat. The element of intention (niyyah) is necessary, and we should not overly rely on state agencies to determine for us the requirements of our religious duty. The so called the “consumption basket” (that is poverty level as determined the social security administration which are updated every fiscal year) may not be the same as what Islam considers minimum Nisaab.

In the industrialized countries, the consumption basket may include items that are not necessarily essential, such as entertainment, extra clothing, variety of food, eating in restaurant or eating at home, owning more than one car as opposed to having three cars in the driveway, drinking water as opposed to juices, eating regular food or special “health” food. This is why I believe it is essential that we do not lose site of the fact that Zakaat is ebadah of wealth, like salaat and fasting. Non Muslims may consider all the things mentioned above as essentials while Muslims will not. Indeed, no Muslims in good standing will attempt to hide behind the label of consumption basket so as to evade Zakaat.

Nisaab eliminates the possibility of injustice or unfair treatment of the Zakaat payer. To suggest that if we do not follow the rules of International Monetary Fund or the arbitrary figures of social security administration or department of agriculture we will be doing injustice to the Zakaat payer is ludicrous.

2) Nisaab must mature, that is the money is not liable for Zakaat unless it has remained a full year in the possession of a person. This is the understanding of the majority of the scholars. Imam Abu Hanifah (raa) said: “What should be considered is the existence of nisaab at the beginning and the end of the Zakaat year set by the payer”. It does not matter if the nisaab money increases or decreases during the calendar year, as we will explain later.

This condition does not include farm produce, for it is due on the day it is harvested. Allah (SWT) stated: “… But render the dues that are proper on the day that the harvest is gathered…” (Al-Qur`an, 6: 141) According to Imam Al-`Abadi, (raa) Zakaat money is of two kinds: one that by its nature can not be invested and Zakaat of this category is due on the day of harvest. This includes all the farm produce that is liable for Zakaat. The other is wealth that can be invested in the hope of a good return, like cash, gold or silver, because the opportunity is there that cash in one’s hand can be invested for a good return. This includes currency investment, merchandise and livestock. Their Zakaat is not due until they have matured in one full year.

The proof of this condition is the Hadith related by Ibn `Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: “He who acquires property is not liable for Zakaat on it till a year passes.” According to Ibn Rushd (raa) this is the understanding of the majority of scholars, including the four rightly guided Khalifahs.

Zakaat Of Salaries
The condition of yearly term maturity applies to the commodities on which the Lawgiver said Zakaat is due, and this includes silver, gold, modern paper currency and livestock. Paper currency is analogous to silver, therefore, it takes the case of silver. There is no Zakaat on salary, earned income from wage earners or professionals or independent contractors until such money matures in a full year. There is no such thing as paying your Zakaat on the day you receive your paycheck. What the wage earner must know is that he or she can purify that money with charity (sadaqah) anytime they cash the paycheck. Allah (SWT) states: “And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the needy, he who asks and he who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking).” (Al-Qur`an, 51: 19).

We can deduce from the concept of “yearly maturity” of wealth on which Zakaat is due as encouraging, among other things, saving on the part of the Zakaat payer, and enhances the chances for eradicating poverty, because if the poor receives his rightful share of Zakaat there will be the possibility that he can take Zakaat money and invest it and become a Zakaat payer instead of recipient. This possibility will be lost if he receives few Zakaat dollars every month. To say that the wage earner just brings his check home and spends everything on necessities and lives from check to check with nothing left over means the person is eligible for Zakaat.

Using farm produce as analogous to salary for Zakaat is wrong analogy. As Imam Al-`Abadi said, these are two different categories of money. $2, 500.00 cash can be invested by the person and expect a good return whereas it will be difficult to invest a bushel of corn. It can be traded as a commodity, which is what it is. This why we must know that analogy has rules that must be followed before it is applied. Certainly the jurists are unanimous that earned income, known as almal al-mustafadah, should either be added to existing money and wait until that amount reaches maturity and then give their Zakaat; or if there is no money on hand the time one possesses this money, he or she should wait one full year before assessing it for Zakaat.

Zakaat is one of the five pillars of Islam and a vital element in the religion of Islam. It is the twin sister of Salaat. In Al-Qur`an, Allah (SWT) stated: “So establish regular Prayer and give regular Alms; and obey the Messenger; that you may receive mercy.” (Al-Qur`an, 24: 56) Also, “…Establish regular Prayer and give regular Alms, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan….” (Al-Qur`an, 73: 20) “And they have been commanded no more than this: to worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular Prayer and to practice regular charity; and that is the religion right and straight.” (Al-Qur`an, 98: 5)

In a famous Hadith reported by `Umar Bin Khattab (raa), the Messenger of Allah (saas) responded to Jibreel (as) and said: “… Islam is to testify that there is no deity but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to perform the prayer, to pay Zakaat, to observe fasting in Ramadan, and to make pilgrimage to the house of Allah if you are able to do os….” (Bukhari, Muslim)

There is consensus among Muslim scholars that it is mandatory on every believer who is financially able. Whoever knowingly denies this obligation, while he possesses the minimum amount, would be considered a disbeliever and a renegade from Islam. Whoever is stingy, or tries to cheat, is considered among the wrongdoers. Zakaat is mandatory on four categories of items.

1. Farm produce of seeds and fruits, such as wheat, barley, rice, dates, raisins, cocoa, pistachios, coffee, cashews. Allah (SWT) stated: “O you who believe, give of the good things which you have (honorably) earned, and of the fruits of the earth which We have produced for you…” (Al-Qur`an, 2: 267) Also: “… But render the dues that are proper on the day that the harvest is gathered…” (Al-Qur`an, 6: 141) Thus, these two verses and many others indicate that Zakaat is due on farm products that reached the minimum amount (nisaab). No farm product is liable for Zakaat unless it is a product that is considered as food and can be stocked or saved naturally without refrigeration. If the produce is perishable fruit, such as grapes, there is no Zakaat. But if one sells them they will pay their Zakaat on the profit earned when it matures.

The nisaab is 612 kilos, which equals 1,346.40 lb. There is no Zakaat on produce that is less than this amount. If the farm produce or crops grow dependant on rainwater, or without any man’s labor or irrigation, Zakaat due is one-tenth of the total. If it is grown by irrigation, then the Zakaat due is half of one-tenth of the total produce. There is no Zakaat on fruits like apples or oranges or vegetables which are perishable and need refrigeration for long storage, but they should be considered as any income if the profit earned from their sale reaches the amount of Zakaat, then Zakaat should be given.

2. Cattle, including camels, cows, sheep and goats, that are freely graze and are raised for trade and production. For Zakaat to be obligatory, the number must reach the nisaab. The nisaab of camels is five, of cows 30, of sheep and goats, 40. By freely grazing is meant the animal goes out to feed without the owner buying or bringing it feed or hay. If it is not a grazing animal, there is no Zakaat in the stock by itself. The stock will, however, be considered as articles of trade, then will be assessed for Zakaat as articles of trade when the profit earned from their sale reaches the amount by itself or in combination with other articles of the trade.

3. Merchandise and goods of trade and commerce. This includes anything that is obtained for the business of buying and selling: land, animals, food provisions, fabric, cars, spare parts, etc. This inventory is evaluated annually and assessed for Zakaat, whether the value is the same as the amount spent on it, more, or less. The owners of grocery stores, like any other business, must evaluate every item and give their Zakaat. Simple bookkeeping of inventory, orders, cash on hand, and credits, that is non-delinquent loans, will give one a good picture of the zakaatable assets. But if one is unable to account for everything in the store or shop, he should assess it according to his ability until he is sure that his conscience is clear.

There is no Zakaat on what is within one’s dwelling or property which includes food, drinks, furniture, houses, animals, cars, clothes and shoes. The only exception is gold and silver. There is no Zakaat on assets from rentals or lease, whether they are apartment units, taxi cabs, etc. That is, there is no Zakaat on the apartment units, buses or cars for rental like yellow cabs company or trucks for rental or equipments. But there is Zakaat on the proceeds or incomes from these rental assets if these assets reach the executable amount, either by themselves or in combination with other assets.

Business Activities
Many scholars are of the opinion that any business activity that brings any return to the entrepreneur or investor should be assessed for Zakaat. If the activity has a prescribed nisaab, such as gold, silver or paper currency, that nisaab is applied for Zakaat. But if the business has no declared nisaab, its nisaab is the nisaab of commerce, one reason being that most business activities are considered as commerce and because, in actual fact, it is not factitious business name, such as GM, Apple or GE that is taxed for Zakaat, it is the individual investor. We do not tax cooperations such IBM, Apple, GM or Rajihy Bank but the individual investors, share holders and owners of these corporations.

Indeed, there are enough rules in Zakaat books to cover all types of business activity, be it cash or risk investment. If the business activity is analogous to commerce, it should be assessed the same rate as commerce. To subject the business to a different Zakaat rate of 10%, which is the rate of farm products instead of its correct rate of 2.5%, the rate of commerce, is unfair and unjustified. Besides, there is no proof, even a weak one, to justify this unfair arbitrary taxation. The difference between 2.5% and 10% is high. The Zakaat system is not like a state revenue collection, but Allah’s `ebadah. However, if a business person decides to give more than 2.5% after deducting all the expenses including depreciation, Allah (SWT) will accept it from him.

4. Gold and silver, whether used for commerce or jewelry. Allah (SWT) states: “…And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah: announce unto them a most grievous penalty. On the day when heat will be produced out of that (wealth) in the fire of hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks and their backs. This is the (treasure) which you buried for yourselves: taste you, then, the (treasures) you buried.” (Al-Qur`an, 9: 34-35). By hoarding is meant refusal to give it in the path of Allah, which includes Zakaat.

In a hadith reported by Abu Hurairah (raa), the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: “For the owner or possessor of gold and silver who does not fulfill its obligation, on the Day of Resurrection it will be cast into sheets of fire and be branded on his forehead, side and back. Whenever it cools it is to be repeated for him in a day whose length is the length of fifty thousand years, until the judgement is rendered among the people.” (Muslim). By its obligation is meant assessing it for Zakaat. In another version: “No possessor of a treasure who does not give its Zakaat.”

Zakaat is mandatory in gold and silver, irrespective of its form: in coins, raw or nugget, or jewelry for wearing, or for rent, because of the generality of evidence of Zakaat without any detail. In a report by Abdullah bin `Amr bin `Aas (raa), he related that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah with her daughter. On the daughter’s wrist were two heavy gold bracelets. The Messenger asked her, “Do you pay Zakaat on this?” She replied, “No.” The Messenger said: “Would it please you that Allah will encircle you with two bracelets of fire?” The reporter commented that she took them off and threw them down in front of the Messenger, and said: “They are for Allah and his Messenger.” (Ahmed, Tirmidhi).

The Messenger’s wife reported that: “The Messenger entered into my house and saw in my hand a huge ring made of silver, so he asked, `What is this?’ I replied, `I made them to beautify myself for you, O Messenger of Allah.’ He inquired, `Do you give their Zakaat?’ I said, `No,’ or `Allah willing.’ He said: `It will suffice you in the hellfire.’” (Abu Dawuud).

Zakaat is due on gold when it reaches the amount of (nisaab), which is 20 Dinaar. According to a hadith, the Messenger said: “No Zakaat on you is due until it reaches 20 dinaar.” (Abu Dawud) The Islamic dinaar (currency) is one mithqal, a unit of weight which weighs four and one quarter of a gram. Thus, the nisaab is 85 grams. This is equal to $30.00 US dollars.

Similarly, there is no Zakaat on silver until it reaches five oqiyah, because the Messenger said: “There is no Zakaat on less then five oqiyah.” (Muslim/Bukhari) Oqiyah is equal to forty Islamic dirhams. The nisaab is 200 dirhams. One dirham is equivalent to 595 grams. The zakaatable amount in both the gold and silver is a quarter of a tenth only.

Paper Currency
There is Zakaat on modern paper currency because it is equivalent to silver. During the early days of Islam, silver and gold were the currency of exchange minted into dirham for silver and dinaar for gold. Silver, not gold, had a larger circulation. Thus many scholars are of opinion that silver should be the standard for the paper currencies of today because that is more advantageous to the Zakaat payer, as it raises the minimum nisaab whereas gold lowers it. Although both metals are no longer circulated, they are still considered as a security against ever fluctuating paper money.

Silver should be used as a standard to assess Zakaat annually, not paper currency, even if the currency is hard currency like the US dollar, Yen and Deutch Mark or Pound Sterling. Because these currencies are backed by political decisions that may not have anything to do with the economy, the value and strength of this paper money depends largely on all haram usury system of interest rates.

Thus, the Zakaat payer should look up in the local newspaper’s financial or business section for the price of silver which is currently about $3.82. per ounce. The nisaab, then, is 596 x .04=28.80 ounce multiplied by$3.82= 90.91. therefore. The nisaab is about $100.00, as of December 17, 1991.

The nisaab should be based on the market value of the currency. If the money is hard currency, there will be no problem, but if the money is a non-marketable currency, like most currencies in the third world countries, the nisaab should be based on the black market, which realistically reflects the value of the currency on the money market. In any case, the silver rate should be used to assess the Zakaat.

If the nisaab is determined, the zakaatable amount is 2.5%, or .025 multiplied by the amount. For instance, if the zakaatable amount is $56,000.00 it will be 56,000. x .025 = $1,400.00.

Zakaat is due on gold, silver, and or paper currency, whether it is cash in hand or credit in the hands of borrowers. Zakaat is due on debts or cost of merchandize or rental money. If the borrower is a wealthy person that you know will pay back the debt, the lender (that is Halaal lending free of usury) should include that money in the assessment and give its Zakaat. However, one can delay Zakaat on a loan until he receives payment, then return its Zakaat for the past years that he was unable to assess for Zakaat. If the borrower is poor or is refusing to pay the debt, there will be no Zakaat on the money until the lender receives the money. Then he will assess it for Zakaat of one past due year, but there will be no Zakaat in the years before that.

There is no Zakaat on precious stones such as diamonds, or metals such uranium, regardless of their value. Gold and silver, of course are assessed for Zakaat. However, if a person possesses any of these stones or metals, he should give their Zakaat like any other articles of trade. If a person possesses diamonds or any other precious stones as an edge against inflation or for ornaments, there will no Zakaat on these.

How To Give Zakaat
Zakaat may be assessed and returned in two ways:
a) Make a record of all money earned, either daily or monthly, which has reached the nisaab and remains in the treasury. The Zakaat of that money would be due one year later on the same day the money was earned and reached nisaab. This means every month’s income must be set aside and assessed for Zakaat and so will be the case for the rest of the months. For instance, the income of January, 1991 will be assessed for Zakaat in January, 1992, and the income of February, 1991 will be assessed for Zakaat in February 1992, etc. This method of assessing Zakaat is very difficult because it entails complete bookkeeping of daily or monthly earnings.

b) The best way is to set a day or a month, preferably Ramadan, for your annual Zakaat return calendar, say Ramadan 1st, 1412. One year later on the same day Ramadan, 1413, your Zakaat is due and payable. Whatever is in the savings is due for Zakaat, regardless of whether all the amount in the savings reaches a year or not. For instance: if you have $20,000.00 in the savings account on the 1st of Ramadan, 1412 and one year later by the 1st of Ramadan, 1413 there is $50, 000.00, your Zakaat will be assessed for $50,000.00, that is: $50.000.00 x .025= $1,250.00. If, on the other hand, by the 1st of Ramadan, 1413 the amount in the savings is $15,000.00, your Zakaat will be for the amount in the savings, that is $15,000.00 x .025= $375.00. This method is the best because it is easy to assess, meets one’s obligation and relieve one’s conscience.

The Recipient Of Zakaat
Knowing who qualifies as recipient of Zakaat is an important aspect of Zakaat collection in Islam. Fortunately, Allah (SWT) has been merciful to us in that He Himself spelled out the people eligible to receive Zakaat. In Surah Tawbah He stated:

“Alms are for the poor and the needy; and those employed to administer (the funds); for those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to truth); for those in bondage and in debt; in the cause of Allah; and for the wayfarer: (thus is it) ordained by Allah, and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.” (Al-Qur`an, 9: 60) In this verse Allah enumerated the people who deserve this divine welfare, and they are as follows:

The poor and the needy. These are individuals, and those under their care, to live on. By the poor and needy is meant the people whose income or salaries, or whatever material goods they have, fall short of the cost of living in a given environment and economy. The poor and the needy should be given what will suffice them and their families for one full year. The needy who want to get married and have no means should be given enough for this purpose, and so, too, the student who needs money for tuition, rent, food, and books. The working poor should be given supplementary Zakaat. But the wealthy, or any person with enough income to live on should not be given Zakaat, even if they asked for it. Instead, they should be warned and admonished for asking for what does not belong to them.

In a hadith reported by Abdullah bin `Umar, the Messenger of Allah (saas) stated: “A man keeps on asking others for something till he comes on the day of Resurrection without any piece of flesh on his face.” (Bukhari/Muslim). This hadith indicates a humiliating appearance before Allah (SWT) that awaits a person who asks illegally.

Some said: this hadith implies Allah will punish a person with the very limb, the face, that he used to impress on others to give him their money unlawfully.

In another hadith reported by Abu Hurairah, the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever asks people for their money so as to get rich, he is asking for flames of fire. It is up to him to ask for more or less (he should beware).” (Muslim) This hadith indicates the severity of the punishment, the more one asks the more punishment, the less one asks the less the punishment.

In another hadith, reported by Hakeem bin Hizaam said: I begged the Messenger of Allah and he gave me. I begged again, and he gave me. I begged again and he gave me. He then said: “This money is green and sweet; he who receives it from people with a cheerful heart, Allah will bless him in it; he who receives it, with an avaricious mind would not be blessed in it. He will be like the person who eats without being satisfied; and the upper hand is better than the lower hand” (Muslim)

This hadith gave an analogy between money and green, ripened fruit that people love to eat. Thus, it indicates that both are greatly loved but easily finished. For money that is easy come easy go, one must be careful about the punishment that awaits the illegal eater. If a person asks for Zakaat and there are no signs of wealth, and he does not know that he should not ask, or a person who is well and able, who can work, but does not; if these people do not know that it is not permissible for them to ask, it may be given anyway.

In a hadith reported by Ahmed, Abu Dawud, and Nasa’e, two men came to the Messenger of Allah (saas) and asked for Zakaat. He looked at them closely and found them strong and able, he said, “If you want I will give you. But you should know that the wealthy or an able person who can work has no share in Zakaat” (Ahmad)

Those who administer the Zakaat department, assigning people for collecting, bookkeeping, making lists of people eligible for Zakaat, and a financial calendar. These people will receive Zakaat as compensation for their work, even if they are wealthy. This does not include a person who works as an agent for one or two wealthy people to take Zakaat for himself. They should donate their time for Zakaat disbursement and do it with honesty and truthfulness. If they can not, they should be paid or rewarded for their time. In a hadith related by Abu Musa Al-Ashi`ari (raa), the Messenger of Allah said: “A trustworthy Muslim executor is the one who executes completely what has been entrusted to him of Zakaat money in good faith.” (Bukhari)

That is, he will give the Zakaat money to any of the eligible recipients of Zakaat. He should carry on the duty voluntarily, but if he can not distribute the money without being paid, the Zakaat payer should pay him for his work. The payment for the service of distributing Zakaat should not come out of Zakaat money.

The new converts to Islam whose hearts we want to harmonize into the fold of Islam, either because their faith is weak or we are afraid of their being harmed, should be given Zakaat to strengthen their Iman or until we no longer fear their harm.

The bonds person who has contracted with his master to buy himself out of bondage deserve Zakaat and should be given enough to pay off their debt to the master and be freed themselves; similarly, Muslim prisoners of war if their freedom is tied to monetary payment, deserve Zakaat sufficient enough to secure their release.

On the other hand, if a pearson accidently killed someone and have no means to pay off the blood money, he should be helped from Zakaat funds.

The people in debt are of two kinds:

(A) The guarantor, who takes the responsibility of someone else’s debt so as to reconcile the two warring parties, to extinguish the fire of fitnah between them. If the person requests Zakaat money to pay off this debt he should be given it, which will encourage him to continue in this noble cause.

In a hadith reported by Qubaysah Al-Hilaaly (raa), he said I was under debt (hamaalah) and I came to the Messenger (saas) and begged him to help me pay it off. The Messenger told him: “Wait until we receive charity, so we will command that it be given to you.” However, the Messenger stated: “O Qubaysah, begging is not permitted except for one of three categories of people:

A man who has incurred debt (as guarantor to reconcile blood wit) for him begging is permissible till he pays that off, after which he must stop it; a man whose property has been destroyed by calamity which has smitten him; for him begging is permissible till he gets what will support life or will provide him reasonable subsistence; and a man who has been smitten by poverty, the genuineness of which should be confirmed by three knowledgeable members of his people; for him begging is permissible till he gets what will support him, or will provide him subsistence. Besides these three, Qubaysah, begging is forbidden for every other persons, and one who engages in such consumes that which is forbidden.” (Muslim)

(B) Whoever incurs debt and has no money to pay it back will be given from Zakaat to help pay his debt, whether the amount is large or small; or his creditor should be paid directly on his behalf, so long as it is paid off.

Zakaat can be given in the path of Allah. By this is meant to finance a Jihad effort in the path of Allah, not for Jihad for other reasons. The fighter (mujahid) will be given as salary what will be enough for him. If he needs to buy arms or some other supplies related to the war effort, Zakaat money should be used provided the effort is to raise the banner of Islam.

The wayfarer. This is the traveller who in a strange land runs out of money. He or she deserves Zakaat, enough money to take him back to his country, even if he is wealthy and can find someone to loan him the money. On his part, he should take with him on his trip sufficient money, if he is wealthy, so that he will not need Zakaat. Zakaat money can not be used to pay off other obligations, such as giving Zakaat money to people you are obligated to take care of by law; or Zakaat money can not be used to pay for hotel and food expenses.

It is, however, permissible to give Zakaat to a wife or family member, provided it is not part of their daily living expense money, but is needed to pay off a debt for one’s wife if she can not pay it. So is the case for one’s parents if they can not pay their debt.

Zakaat money may be given to members of the family for their expenses if one is not obligated to take care of them financially. The wife can pay off a debt of her husband with Zakaat money, because he may be among the eight eligible recipients and she is not obligated to spend on him as he is on her.

The eight eligible recipients of Zakaat can be denied their right to Zakaat without proof from Al-Qur`an or Sunnah. In a hadith reported by Ibn Mas`ud, his wife Zaynab heard the Messenger of Allah order women to give Zakaat, so she asked the Messenger (saas): ” O Messenger of Allah, you commanded us to give Zakaat, and I have jewelry that I wanted to assess for Zakaat, but my husband Abdullah bin Mas`ud claimed that his son deserves it more than anyone.” The Messenger replied: Your husband Ibn Mas`ud is right. Your son deserves your charity more than anyone.” In another hadith reported by Salman bin `Aamir, he said the Messenger of Allah said: ” Charity to the poor is only charity, but charity to the rest of kind is charity and maintenance of relations (sillah).” (Nisaee)

No loan should be written off as Zakaat because Zakaat is taken and given. Allah (SWT) said: “Of their goods take alms….” (Al-Qur`an, 9: 103) And in a Hadith the Messenger has been reported as saying: “Allah has mandated on you Zakaat to be taken from the wealthy and to be given to the poor.” Thus, writing off debt is not taken. For instance, If you loan a person money, you can not write off that loan as a Zakaat. However, it could be written off as sadaqah charity. Furthermore, loan, delinquent or not, is considered an absent money, therefore, it should not be transacted in Zakaat. for Zakaat is assessed only in cash in hand. Besides, debt money is valued less than cash in the hand, and using that money for alms is like exchanging good money for bad.

The assessor of alms should try to give his Zakaat to an eligible person, but if he makes a mistake and gives it to an ineligible person it is accepted. In a hadith related by Abu Hurairah, he said the Messenger said:

“A man expressed his intention to give charity, so he came with his charity and placed it in the hand of an adulteress. In the morning the people were talking and saying charity was given to an adulteress last night. The donor said: O Allah, to thee be the Praise – charity to an adulteress! He then again expressed his intention to give charity, so he went out with it and placed it in the hand of a rich person. In the morning the people were talking and saying charity was given to a rich person. The donor said, O Allah to You be the praise – charity to a rich man! He then expressed his intention to give charity, so he went out with his charity and placed it in the hand of a thief. In the morning the people were talking and saying charity to the thief. So the man said, O Allah to You be the praise (what a misfortune that charity has been given) to the adulteress, the rich and the thief! Then someone came to him and told him your charity has been accepted. As for the adulteress the charity might become the means whereby she might restrain from fornication. The rich man might perhaps learn a lesson and spend from what Allah has given him, and the thief might thereby restrain from committing theft. (Muslim/ Bukhari)

masjidul aqsa....what's fact

WE ARE BEING MISLEAD BY ARTICLES SAYING THAT MASJID AKSA AND MAQAAM SAKHRA ARE TWO DIFFERENT PLACES AND TELLING MUSLIMS THAT NOTHING IS MORE WORSE THAN DISPLAYING MAQAAM A SAKHRA IN THEIR HOMES I HAVE ANSWERED THEM TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE WITH GUIDANCE FROM THE HOLY QURAN, HADEES AND ISLAMIC SCHOLARS.

What we know about Masjid Aksa

Quran para 17 ayat 1

Holy is He Who carried His bondman by night from the sacred Mosque to the Aqsa Mosque (Aqsa) around which We have put blessings that We might show him Our grand signs. No doubt, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

Masjid Aksa is presently a 40 acre (approx) platform which is also known as Bait Ul Muqaddas. (Masjid Al Quddus by Arabs).

When Allah has blessed the place it becomes Haram sheriff.

It is the third holiset place on Earth after,

1) Kaabatullah also called Haram Sheriff .Mecca Mouizma

2) Masjid Nabawi S.A.W also called Haram Sheriff .Medina Munavara

3) Bait Ul Muqaddas also called Haram Sheriff .Palestine

In the centre of Bait Ul Muqaddas is QUBBAT AS SAKHRA, MAQAM A SAKHRA in urdu (Dome of the rock in english) which is a stone slab. ALLAH MADE THIS OUR QIBLA AWWA

MAQAAM A SAKHRA was the QIBLA of many PROPHETS including Hazrath Dawood Alhi was salaam, Hazrath Suleiman Alhi was salaam, Hazrath Moosa Alhi was salaam, Hazrath Ilyas alhiwas salaam and Hazrath Ibrahim alhi was salaam to name a few.

Below MAQAAM A SAKHRA is a small cave where the Many Prophets of islam used to pray and rest.

Our Holy Prophet Huzoor Sallallahu Alhi Wa Salaam also prayed facing Maqaam a Sakhra and changed it to KAABATULLAH during prayers from Masjid Qiblatian. in MEDINA Munavara

According to Islamic Scholar's.

In Isalmic history Hazrath Dawood alhi was salaam was the first Prophet to construct a Mosque at Bait Ul Muqaddas.

Hazrath Suleiman alhi was salaam, later expanded this with the help of jinns.
He built a raised Platform with huge stone blocks with Maqaam a Sakhra as its centre.

Hazrath Moosa alihi was salaam was also commanded by Allah to make Maqaam a Sakhra his Qibla. And he build a Grand Mosque around it.

This GRAND MOSQUE was first Destroyed by Firoun of Egypt and later by the Romans, Byzantines, Christians and other invaders

On the night of Meraj Our Holy Prophet Huzoor Sallalahu Alhi Wa Sallam led the prayers facing Maqaam a Sakhra as KAABATULLAH had not yet been made the Qibla.

During the Kilafat of Hazrath Umer Farooq Raziallah Anhu, Palestine (present day Jeruselam) was for the first time conquered by the Muslim army. He immediately started searching for the sacred site.
All he saw was a huge pile of debris, Hazrath Umer Farooq Raziallah Anhu looked around for Maqaam A Sakhra, he saw the stone slab under the pile of debris,he recognised the same as it had been described by our Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alhi Wa Sallam.

He removed his cloak with which he cleaned the area.The Muslim army cleared the whole area with great respect and looked at Hazrath Umer Farooq Raziallah Anhu as to what he would do next.He stood in the small cave and facing KAABATULLAH bowed down in Prayers.

Accompanied with the other Shaaba he looked around for a suitable place to build a Mosque in the vast platform and ordered a Mosque to be built with the Mehrab on the SOUTHERN side of the platform since Palestine is to the north of Mecca. And a Mosque was constructed.

Sultan Malik ibn Marwan later expanded the Mosque and also constructed a beautifull Golden Dome on top of Maqaam A Sakhra.

The Crusaders invaded Palestine and destroyed much of what Sultan Malik ibn Marwan had built.The Christians placed a cross on top of the dome. The Mosque was converted to a Church.

Sultan Salahuddin Aiyubi reconqured Palestine and reconstructed the Mosque and Maqaam A Sakhra.And he built a metal curtain around the stone slab as people started to chip away small peices of the stone for Barkkat.

The Turkey Sultans of the Ottaman Empire ruled Palestine until 1928.

From 1929 to 1948 it was under British rule

In 1948 the Americans and British and handed it over to the jews the palestines were driven out of their homes and many were martyred.
IN 1967 IN THE SIX DAY WAR AFTER ENTERING BAIT UL MUQQADAS, THEY WANTED TO BLOW UP BOTH THE MOSQUE AND MAQAAM A SAKHRA WITH 100 Kgs OF EXPLOVISES.
BUT BY THE GRACE OF ALMIGHTY ALLAH THEY WERE DUMBSTRUCK, THEY LEFT HARAM SHERIFF AFTER A FEW HOURS GIVING BACK INCHARGE TO THE WAKF.

HOW CAN WE DIFFRENCIATE BETWEEN THE MOSQUE AND MAQAAM A SAKRAH.
THEY ARE WITHIN THE BOUNDERIES OF HARAM SHERIFF.THE WHOLE AREA AND ITS SURRONDINGS ARE BLESSED BY ALLAH.

THE MOSQUE WHICH WE SEE TODAY IS IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF BAIT UL MUQADDAS WAS FIRST BUILT DURING THE TIME OF HAZRATH UMER FAROOQ RAZIALLAH ANHU.AND LATER REBUILT BY OTHERS.
HE GRAND MOSQUE BUILT IN THE ENTIRE COMPLEX BY THE EARLIER PROPHETS WAS DESTROYED BY THE ENEMIES OF ISLAM.

MAQAAAM A SAKHRA IS THE CENTRE OF MASJID AKSA(HARAM SHERIFF) IT THE PLACE OF PRAYERS OF PROPHETS OF ISLAM AND THE PLACE OF ACCEPTENCE OF THEIR DUA'S. IT IS THE QIBLA AWWAL. ALLAH HAS BLESSED THE PLACE AND ITS SOURRINDINGS.

MUSLIMS DISPLAY THE PHOTO OF MAQAAM A SAKHRA IN THEIR HOMES AND OFFICES (IT IS EVEN DISPLAYED ON OUR PRAYER MATS).FOR BARAKKAT AS IT IS THE HEART OF BAIT UL MUQADDAS LIKE HOW KAABA IS THE HEART OF HARAM SHERIFF IN MECCA MOUIZMA.

IT IS THE PLACE FROM WHERE THE HEAVENLY STEED BURRAQ ALONG WITH HAZRATH GIBRAIL (A.S.)LEFT FOR MERAJ WITH OUR HOLY PROPHET HUZOOR SALLALLAHU ALHI WA SALLAM.

THE MOSQUE IN THE MASJID AKSA COMPOUND IS SLOWLY BEING DAMAGED BY THE JEWS BY DIGGING UNDERNEATH ITS FOUNDATION.

FIRSTLY NO SANE MAN IN THE CORRECT STATE OF MIND WILL EVER THINK OF DESTROYING/REMOVING A MOSQUE

SECONDLY IF A NATURAL CALAMITY WERE TO HAPPEN. THE MOSQUE WILL BE REBUILT INSHALLAH ON A MUCH GRANDEUR SCALE.

THIRDLY IF SOMEONE WERE TO ''MAZALLAH'' DESTROY OR REMOVE THE MOSQUE DELEBIRATELY, MAY ALLAH BURN HIM HELL FIRE OF THE FIRST DEGEREE. HE IS AN ENEMY OF ALLAH AND ALLAH WILL DESTROY THEM.

THE JEWS WANT TO DESTROY THE MOSQUE AND MAQAAM A SAKHRA, AND TAKE FULL CONTROL OF BAIT UL MUQADDAS THEY ARE TRYING IN ALL WAYS AND MEANS AND ARE SAYING THAT IT IS THEIR'S KINGS PALACE.

ALLAH PROTECT US FROM THIS SHIATEEN ''AMEEN'' .THE PEOPLE OF PALESTINE ARE FIGHTING TO LIBERATE BAIT UL MUQADDAS. ALLAH WILL HELP THEM AND INSHALLAH BAIT UL MUQADDAS WILL BE LIBERATED ONCE AGAIN.

MAY ALLAH FOR THE SAKE OF HIS BELOVED PROPHET MUHAAMMED UR RASOOLAH SALLAL LAHU ALHI WA SALLAM FORGIVE ME FOR ANY OMMISIONS/MISTAKES WHILE WRITING THIS.
