Sisters, do not simply believe what you see or read. Look up for more information, do second or third readings, ask your local Ustad or Sheikh to authenticate Quranic verses or hadiths, or enquire from related Organizations or Support Groups. Dont be afraid to ask! Related verse from the Quran: - Therefore, if there is a difference of opinion among you in any matter, refer it back to Allah and His Prophet, if you do believe in Allah and the Last Day [AnNisa 4:59 03: How careful are you online? Perhaps youre (kinda) new to a certain social network site, and youre on the mission to search, Befriend, Follow or Subscribe new friends or trends, or even influences and inspirations! But hold your horses and excitement! Be cautious of those you befriend, follow and subscribe to! They might lower your morale (from pressure) or worse, lower your Deen. Related hadith: - The Prophet (s.a.w.) said A person is upon the Deen of his close friend, so look to whom you befriend [Abu Dawud] 04: Every Muslim should take this matter seriously, for the consequences of spreading false news or fitna are gravely devastating! It would not only hurt yourself, but it would hurt others as well. In this modern era, sin is easily accessible- and worse, Fitna is EVERYWHERE! People can easily talk and spread bad rumours about others, so be wise and do not be involved in the Fitna Circle. Remember, every click counts-
and Allah the Al-Mighty Knows. If you are doubtful of that source, leave it. Related hadiths: - The Prophet (s.a.w.) said Whoever fabricates lies against me, let them assume their abode in Hellfire [Bukhari & Muslim] -The Prophet (s.a.w.) said Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt [A-Tarmidhee] 05: Have you got your social networks up and running? Great! Try going through your lists of friends, Likes, Subscribes and the ones you Follow (basically the ones who appear in your Newsfeed- you get the idea) Ask yourself: Do they bring benefit to you in Dunya or Akhirat? Do they make your Deen go higher, or lower? Do they make you closer to Allah or further from Allah? Do they make you smile, or angry? If you answer the latter- you should probably remove or DELETE them from your real life, AND net life! Such influences should not let you stray away from Allah and His Messenger! It would be hard to Delete them, but inshaAllah, try doing it bit by bit and make loads of duas; Allah will surely guide you. (Take note that worldly matters that can benefit you are very much permissible as long as they are within the Islamic laws; eg: Health matters, Parenting, Relationship, Culinary, etc) Related hadith: -The Prophet (s.a.w.) said : The case of the good companion and the bad companion is like that of the seller of musk and the blower
of the bellows (iron-smith) . As for the seller of musk, he will either give you some of the musk, or you will purchase some from him, or at least you will come away having experienced its good smell. Whereas the blower of the bellows will either burn your clothing, or at least you will come away having experienced its repugnant smell. [Bukhari & Muslim] 06: So youve got your fancy gadgets and smart phones- be a Khalifah and use technology to do good! Spread good words, take photos of Allahs wonderful creations and show it to the world, start an I Prophet Muhammad (saw) Blog, forward Quranic verses and hadiths to friends and families and so many more. Many others would surely follow this good trait, inshaAllah. Related hadith: - The Prophet (s.a.w.) said : Convey from me even if one ayah (verse) for it may be that the one being informed will comprehend better that the one listening (at present). [Bukhari] 07: One thing that we have to be always aware of is Shaitaans Evilness and Shrewdness! It will always find ways to trick you into believing that there is always time for social network and our social friends! And thus, we would neglect our duties as a Muslim! (Oh no!) In Islam, time is super crucial! So discipline yourself, put your social networking aside and prioritize your religion and your real life people (ie: Family and friends). Lets try our best to not delay our prayers because of technology, okay? :D Related verse from the Quran: - By time, indeed mankind is in loss, except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience [Al-Asr 103: 1-3] Related hadith: - Narrated by Abu Hurairah (r.a.) :The Prophet (s.a.w.) said : There are two of Allahs favours that are forgotten by many people; health and time [Bukhari ] Mr. Ahamed Riaz.,M.B.A

Lucknow session of the Congress (1916) to apprise Gandhi of the Champaran issue was the brain child of the peasant leaders, Shaikh Gulab and Munis, etc. When Gandhi visited Champaran, he made it a point to meet Munis mother, and met her on 23 April 1917. After Gandhis intervention, despite the theoretical abolition of the tinkathiya system, the peasantry continued to suffer at the hands of the European indigo planters; Munis then started, Raiyati Sabha. For which Munis further earned the colonial wrath, and in a falsely implicated case of June 1918 he was sentenced to be imprisoned in September 1918 and was put behind bars for six months besides some financial punitive fines (SeePratap, 30 September 1918). The Bettiahs Sub-Divisional Officer, W. H. Lewis, in his letter to the Tirhut Commissioner, called him a connecting link between the raiyat and the educated class. (Pol. Spl. 1511/1917, Pt.II). In his essay, Champaran Mein Phir Nadirshahi, Munis protested against extraction of tax by the planter in the name of purchasing motor for a new born son of the planter. He subjected the Tehsildars and Jamadars of the Lauriya Kothi, as also the Court of Wards etc., to criticism for extortions. In 1930 he was imprisoned in the Patna Camp jail for three months for his participation in the Salt Satyagraha of the Civil Disobedience Movement (Ashraf Qadri, 1992; Qadri lists many types of taxes extracted from the raiyats). In 1937 he provided leadership to the sugarcane producers protesting against the intermediaries who were pocketing bulk of the income accrued from this (KW 14/34, Report of the Commissioner, Tirhut, Muzaffarpur; The Searchlight, 29 December 1937). He addressed the public rally of the Harijan employees of the Bettiah municipality who were on strike protesting against few issues (The Searchlight, 19 December 1937). He was also elected member of the Champaran Zila Parishad (District Board) on the Congress ticket, and became President, Bettiah Local Board, from which he resigned and
was a correspondent for Pratap; he also wrote stories for children in Baalak, Hindi monthly edited by Rambriksha Benipuri (1899-1968), and published his patriotic poems in Hindi monthly,Gyanshakti, Gorakhpur (launched in 1915 it continued till 1935. See Arjun Tiwari, Swatantrata Aandolan aur Hindi Patrakaarita. Varanasi: BHU). In Champaran, some sadhus used to distribute leaflets (of the reports/columns published in Pratap). The Shikarpur police and the Motihari police had seized such leaflets in February 1916. Besides, he was also on the editorial board ofDesh launched and edited by Dr. Rajendra Prasad. Munis had also written, A History of Champaran, the manuscript of which was with one of his comrades and a teacher in a Bettiah school, Harivansh Sahay, whose death made the manuscript traceless (probably in 1960s). Munis had also collected his newspaper columns, stories, etc., to publish its compilation in a volume; it was sent to the Pustak Bhandar, Darbhanga for publication, but these were destroyed in the massively devastative earthquake of 15 January 1934. Usually, the text-books as well as the reference books, mention the role of Raj Kumar Shukla who invited Gandhi to intervene into the Champaran issue. The fact is that even the first letter written to Gandhi by Shukla was drafted by Munis. Apprising Gandhi of the miseries of Champaran Peasantry, Munis wrote, Our sad tale is much worse than what you and your comrades have suffered in South Africa. Shuklas visit to the

of India is urged to look into these cases immediately and make arrangements not only for the release of these innocent youth but also compensate them properly for the loss of their livelihood, their dignity and time they had spent in jails without any fault of theirs. Apart from this as part of the campaign for reservation for Muslims in State and Central Government jobs IUML is conducting a nationwide signature campaign in support of their demand. Today this campaign was held at Delhi Jama Masjid, where more than 2000 people gathered and signed and pledged for their long pending demand. The campaign was conducted by the National Secretary and Delhi State President, Janab Khorrum Anis Omer, National Assistant Secretary, Dr. Mateen Khan and UP State Secretary Mohd. Ateeq, who came to Delhi specially to be part of the campaign today at Jama Masjid and tomorrow morning at Jantar Mantar. Other party leaders who were part of the signature campaign were State Vice President Janab Moinuddin, State Treasurer Janab Abdul Hameed Ansari, Janab C.H. Abdul Rahman, Secretary Noor Shams, Maulana Rahmatulla Nadvi, Waseemur Rahman, Mohd. Zubair and other party workers from old Delhi district.
including three children and his mother, subsist on proceeds from his bestselling book, tuitions and odd jobs. Teaching is a passion for me; even in jail I missed it so much. I like to teach in a classroom environment, he says. He was appointed as a lecturer in Urdu in the NDA in 1996, but on a temporary basis. All was well till 2003. Some policemen came to my house and left a message asking me report to Mumbai I went on May 9 and they questioned me for many hours. They asked my advocate to leave and formally arrested me on May 11, he says. Dr. Khan and another suspect Saqib Nachen, who was released after 10 years in jail, had decided to form a legal aid cell the Muslim Legal Aid and Welfare Foundation in 2002 and it was in the initial stages of planning. We wanted a board of patrons and had three meetings. During the initial questioning, the police wanted to know about the meetings. I told them we didnt plan any bomb blast, Dr. Khan says. Obviously the police thought otherwise. Dr. Khan says the police accused him under the Arms Act as well because they recovered a pistol from his flat in Pune. That flat was locked for over a year and they took the keys from my mother who was living with me after my father died. They claim the pistol was in the kitchen, he says. After writing his book, he got permission from the court to get it published in 2009. His PhD thesis, a critical analysis of Allama Mehvi Siddiqui a poet from Lucknow was ready in 2002. I was only waiting for the viva and that was
