With the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ just months away, the South African Muslim community is hard at work preparing to welcome the many Muslim players and fans that are expected to be in the country in June and July this year.

“Volunteers will be placed outside stadiums handing out lists of Halaal restaurants, products and prayer facilities in that city and they will also answer any questions from Muslim spectators,” said Moulana Abdul Wahab Wookay, head of the NIHT.

South Africa Prepares to Host Muslim Guests for World Cup

The latest news coming out of Cape Town is the immense preparation being taken to host all the Muslim guests that will come to South Africa for the World Cup.

“Food and beverages are one thing, but other non-natural perishables like chocolates, sweets and pharmaceuticals could contain non-Halaal substances such as pork-based substances or extracts from an un-Islamic slaughtered animal. That’s why details are so important,…”

Ibrahim was very happy to see sheik Nabeel open the door to his room. We can only see his happiness from his expression as he is unable to speak

Notice the breathing instrument around Ibrahim’s neck.. he is unable to even breath normally.

Thus sheik Nabeel and Ibrahim started talking about da’wa on the internet and the striving it requires.
They also exchanged some stories

Please support the people of Haiti! In authentic Hadith the Prophet Sallalahu Alahe wasalam said a prostitute women was forgiving by Allah and granted paradise because she gave a thirsty dog water to drink! what about our fellow human beings? May Allah guide the people of Haiti to Islam, here is the link to donate… We will make sure the money reaches the people of Haiti and not the pockets of men Insha Allah.

This is a real story by a Muslim sister.

This week, I applied the CASIC approach (a formula derived by Surah Al-Fatihah by MasterPIES) to a personal problem I had. First, I made duas for Allah (SWT) to help me out with guiding me and giving me patience. I was very angry and did not want to react in the wrong way and regret later. So, I distanced myself from the problem by avoiding my husband for two days. I tried to think objectively about the heated argument we had and decided that we were both to blame, although his temper was very bad and he said very hurtful things to me. I took it all in and decided to try to smooth things out. In fact, he must have been thinking the same thing because that evening, he asked me if I would like him to prepare me a meal (this happens maybe once in a blue moon). So, I agreed and I offered to make dessert, which he accepted. We were still upset with each other, but not as much as before. The next day, I prepared him his favorite dish for dinner and we talked things out in a friendly manner. Neither of us apologized, but in a way we knew we wanted to end this argument. We talked about different options we had and the problem was solved. The fact that we did not react during the heat of the moment meant that Allah (SWT) saved our marriage. Alhamdullah. I am so grateful that I was able to apply the CASIC module to my personal life and find instant solution. Of course, I think the fact that I prayed and made lots of duas helped me a lot too!

I was writing regarding Umm Zakiyyah, the sister who entered into a scholarship contest organized by Peterson (Petersonnelnet on YouTube).

I don’t know her, so I can’t endorse her or anything, but I decided to
help her, because 1- she wants to stay away from Riba 2- It’s a golden
opportunity for Dawah.

So, here is why it’s a good idea for you to help.

Three reasons you should adopt this campaign:

1- She presents a positive image for Muslims: a- go to school, b-
average Americans can relate to her (someone who speaks their language,
needs financial assistance for schooling, have multiple responsibilities as
a mother and a student c- got family values, cares for her kids).

2- Free Dawah through Petersonsnelnet. Usually organizers sends the
news all over the media, so imagine if a women with Hijab is the winner

3- Helping a Muslim to stay away from Riba (this is listed as number 3, because, arguably, we can simply raise $5000 to her, but if we adopt this project, it has more values than just donation)

The deadline is Aug 31, 2008, just in time for Ramadan, so it’s good to enter Ramadan with some good deeds, don’t you think so?

What can you do?

1- Set her video as your home page till Aug 31st.

2- If you have youtube channel, feature it like this: http://www.youtube.com/user/livinghalal

3- upload this info video to your channel

http://www.4shared.com/file/58593738/4524532e/SisterAmani.html

May Allah help you, because he promised to help you so long you help your fellow Muslim. In this case, you are helping me (cuz I’m asking you), and you are helping Umm Zakiyyah and her family.

May the peace and tranquility be upon you.

This is a new business model we are trying.

On one hand we want to spread the message, on the other hand we need to sustain the effort.

So we are trying this mix model of both selling and sponsorship.

Our sister company HalalBucks.com is a for-profit company, but we at LivingHalal want to make their content available for free for Dawah purposes.

The agreement that we worked out is if we get the cost covered, plus a one time 10% profit (one time only) they will make the material available on the Internet (for free forever for this recording).

So, if you believe in this cause of eradicating interest/Riba and providing Halal alternatives. Buy this recording for $7 (59% discount over the original price of $17) or even give more as a sponsorship.

May Allah reward you for everyone who benefits from this material.

-LivingHalal

PS1: If you are not 100% satisfied, simply come and “unjoin” the campaign.

PS2: If you are satisfied, please post a comment so others can get a preview of what’s in the recording.

We’ve received this email today from Sister Saba.

SubhanaAllah, because of one LivingHalal (LH) video she saw on YouTube, she went to LH blog, then from there she found out about HalfDate Web site, then from HalfDate she found about RUSH magazine, and decided to subscribe!

And, by subscribing to the magazine, she helped in a project that prints teachers study guide for children, … and only Allah knows how this chain reaction will end. Hope in Jannah!!!

So, never under estimate your little help.

The moral of the story is that Allah is giving you lots of opportunity to maximize your rewards, such as by:

• Giving us your feedback, so we know what went right and what went wrong
• Subscribing to a Muslim publication
• Being a guest on LivingHalal teleconference series
• Spreading posts and videos
• Linking to LivingHalal.com
• etc. etc.

Goal: To invoke Allah’s mercy with your little contribution

How? You want to raise $1250 to fund the design work of 4 teacher study guides to be published for Muslim schools. (more details click the link at the end)

So, why YOU and why NOW?

1- You are maximizing your rewards by giving NOW, how?

A man came to the Prophet (SAW) asking him which Sadaqa gets the greatest of rewards. The Prophet said, “The one you give and you are healthy, stingy, worrying about poverty, and hoping for richness. And don’t delay until your soul is about to get out (death) when you say, ‘Give such and such to such and such.’” -Collected by Al-Bukhari/Al-Jamia’

2- You are giving for a lasting projects that will bring you continious rewards, in-sha-Allah, every future print of these study guides you get rewards.

3- You are not helping a lazy dude who opt to beg, NO, this sister didn’t ask for help, but the community recommeded HalfDate to help her. She had TWO HEART ATTACKS, yet, ma-sha-Allah still serving our community. http://islamicfictionbooks.wordpress.com/2008/05/30/focus-on-muslim-kids-not-me/

4- You are helping a business business that is “technically” running on a non-profit basis, the owner gives the authors all their royalty rights, and gives school teachers 40% discount

5- You are TESTING your iman by giving to a stranger who you don’t know much and maybe even skeptical
