The Triple Filter Test - Avoid suspicions and backbiting
During the Abbasid period one of the scholars in Baghdad was greeted by an acquaintance who said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"
Scholar: "Hold on a minute, before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."
The Man: "Triple Filter Test?"
Scholar: "That's right, before you talk to me about my friend it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
The Man: "No, actually I just heard about it and ..."
Scholar: "All right, so you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"
The Man: "No, on the contrary..."
Scholar: "So, you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left: The filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"
The Man: "No, not really."
Scholar: "Well, if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"
Let's pass our intended speech through the triple filter test before we madly utter our every thought. And lets subject others to the triple filter test too before we hear any number of damaging things from them.

The Quran teaches us
: "O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh (meat) of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful." [Quran 49:12]
The prophet Mohammad-pbuh said: “
Keep away from ill-thinking/suspicions because ill-thinking is the greatest falsehood.” [Sahih Bukhari]
The Effect of Prayer on the Human Body
The Effect of Prayer on the Human Body
By : Dr Noha abo-krysha
Translated By : Nassim Dhaher
Revised By Magdy Abd Al-Shafy
In fact , prayer is a strong connection to God . In prayer , one can find many meanings that beggar description , man can find out the basic reason behind his existence . Allah the Exalted says in the Holy Quran what means :
Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say , when somthing distress him : (Oh Bilal(the prayer caller ), call for the prayer, relax us by it) [Sunan Abi Dawud]
The Scientific Study
It has become clear , through the results of several studies, the great effect that prayer and devotion have on brain stability and mode of function, and it has also become clear that several changes occur in the body ;among these is the effect that happens during blood systematization to certain parts in the brain
prayer effect on cerebral activities
This research was carried out by Dr. Newberg, the assistant Professor at X-Ray division of the Pennsylvania University Medical Center, on a group of faithful people who have faith in God , practice their prayers and come from different religious backgrounds.
This as done using Single Photon C.T. scan that shows the flow of blood in the cerebrum using colors which are based on brain activity where the color Red represents high activity and Yellow and Green represent low activity.
The First Image
The image shows the brain before meditation and prayer(on the left) and during prayer (on the right) where we see that during the envolvement in prayers and meditation, blood flow has increased , frontal lobe region is responsible for controlling emotions and agitations in humans and a region also important for the acquisition and practice of complicated percetion-movement abilities.
Terms used in the image
Baseline: normal state without meditation
Meditation: as name implies
The Second Image
The image shows a a blood flow decline in the the Parietal lobe at the region where humans sense their time and space limits. It was concluded from these results that during prayer, contemplation and seeking Allah, the limits of self-conciousness dissapear and a feeling of peace and freedom starts in the person and one feels closer to Allah in a way that no words can describe.
Verses from The Quran
Many are the verses that talked about the importance of prayer (Assalat), devotion and praise Allah the Almighty. The Quran has made a link between patience and prayer to make sure one does not get agitated.
Allah The Exalted Says in the Holy Quran what means:
{Nay, seek (Allah's) help with patient perseverance and prayer: It is indeed hard, except to those who bring a lowly spirit} SuraAl-Baqara verse 45
There are other verses that linked between prayer and tranquility.

Establish regular prayers - at the sun's decline till the darkness of the night, and the morning prayer and reading: for the prayer and reading in the morning carry their testimony. 79-And pray in the small watches of the morning: (it would be) an additional prayer (or spiritual profit) for thee: soon will thy Lord raise thee to a Station of Praise and Glory!} Sura Al-israa verses 78,79

Heaven and Hell
I know some say well you can't prove a hell or a heaven, and as long as we are living I will agree that Yes I can't prove heaven or hell to exist as we here on earth like to see things for ourselves to generally believe in it. but there is something also that we must look at and that is the traces around us which ultimately should lead us to think, that well there are laws in nature which can't be manipulated with and there for must have been set specifically to meet the needs of the existing operation, intelligent design is something that cannot be ignored and I can see the Creation around me, and beyond earth.
Science has proven that if we were to count each grain of sand on all the beach's on earth, it will not be enough to count all the galaxies that are in space. Now we live on this one now, who is certain that our life will not continue else where, and if there is no hell, can the sun not be used as a example of such fierce power ???? and does not earth give a brief small notion of what heaven might be like ????
We live on earth and have been for thousands and thousands of years, life existed before man walked the earth and FOR CERTAIN this creation is not bound to man,but quite the opposite, its mankind who are bound to the life that they are GIVEN.
Has anyone made their own life or where they given it ? Has mankind decided they wanted two arms or was it given to them, what about our brains which science prove to have simply infinite room to store information and is still a mystery in oh so many ways. What about the DNA was man responsible for that or was it given to them as well ?
Now the Creator of the sun and the galaxies cannot make a heaven or a hell ??? its just illogical, matter fact I think its done with ease,
Mankind comes and goes, the laws of creation NEVER CHANGE and the Creator has created this earth for a PURPOSE, All of creation serves its Creator, for nothing is created without purpose...
Earth purpose is a battle ground between good and evil.
Heaven is the ultimate Goal of those of good.
Hell is the ultimate destination of those of evil.
