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

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.

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.

Numerical facts in the Quran. The signature -19 and The strength of the believers.
It is very important in the 21st Century to educate our Muslim youth about the miracles of the Quran. Among thousands of miracles in the Quran, if he/she really believes that the Quran and these specific miracles could not have come from our Beloved Prophet (PBUH) alone and it was revealed to him by Allah (SWT), then he would have a firm belief that Allah (SWT) does exist. He/she would believe that the Quran is the revelation by Allah (SWT). He will then follow the Quran for success in this life and salvation in the life after death.
In the computer age of the 21st Century, our youth are very impressed by modern technology and the Internet so the numerical miracle of the Quran is most impressive for them. There are a few books that have been written on numerical miracles of the Quran. We can mention a few items and you may review the books for more detail.
Number 19: Sura 74 – The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir) Ayat 30 to 35. “We appointed 19 angels to be guardians of hell, to disturb the disbelievers, to convince the Christians and Jews (that this is a divine scripture) to strengthen the faith of the faithful, to remove all traces of doubt from the hearts of Christians, Jews as well as believers.”
Why 19 = Allah (SWT) uses 19 as his signature.
1.Sun, moon and earth become aligned every 19 years.
2.Human bones are 209 pieces (19 x 11)
Quran is the Miracle of the Beloved Prophet (PBUH)
Quran is full of Allah’s (SWT) signature: Number 19
1.Bismillah Al Rahman Alrahim in Arabic contains 19 letters
2.Quran contains 114 Sura (6 x 19)
3.Quran contains 6346 (19 x 334) verses
4.Bismillah occur 114 times (6 x 19) in Quran, although Sura 9 has no Bismillah and Sura 27 has Bismillah at the beginning and middle.
5.First Revelation Sura 96 Ayeh 1-5 consists of 19 words
6.First Revelation Sura 96 Ayeh 1-5 consists of 76 letters (19 x 4).
7.Sura 96 First Revelation has 19 verses
8.The Last Revelation (Sura 110) consists of 19 words.
9.Sura Q (No-50) has 57Q (3 x 19)
10.The word Quran has been repeated in the Quran text 57 times (3 x 19)
11.Total count of Allah in Quran 2698 (19 x 142)
12.Total number of verses wherever the word Allah is mentioned, total added together is 118123 (19 x 6217).
There are many other examples that you may find in the books written on this subject. If you think all of these mathematical relations are just a coincidence, then you will never become a believer. If you believe that these mathematical relations are not just a coincidence but a miracle of Allah (SWT), then you will be able to follow the Quran and use it as your guidance and you will be successful in this life and in the life after death.

Islam, Islamophobia and The Unbelievers.
What is Islam
The most important factor to the religious Islam is to believe that there is no god but God(Allah) and Mohammad (peace be with him) is God's final messenger.
Allah translated to English would mean Thee One God.
Islam gives it's follower the complete freedom of thoughts and conquest for knowledge and betterment's to the community and oneself through righteous actions. It addresses specific and major issues in a striving community as well ensures that the poor, elderly and needy are to be taken care of as well establishing a community bank, hospitals, universities and a required donation of 2% of anyone earnings where all people will pay the same amount with no acceptations, as well encourages donations on an everyday basis.
Islam's politics for a society where the leaders served the masses, the money was only a tool to expand a strong, solid community. Knowledge and Education are very important elements were crucial to their everyday life. The quest to figure out how any one can tell the time for prayer by making clocks to tell time as well the very difficult task of establishing GLOBAL POSITIONING, this way anyone can know the direction to Mecca, and impressive enough established both and they simply took off in many other fields of knowledge and great civilizations which none surpass the wonders done in Spain and Alhambra. All these civilizations began with this one man, Mohammad(pbuh)
Mohammad(pbuh) passed away with zero in money and his house was very simple and basic. It's said his bed was made from dried tree leaves, yet he changed his community to seekers of betterments and knowledge.
Taking care of the needy was done on hourly basis by Mohammad(pbuh). He received great deals of gold and money, only to donate it all away and even fasted for days because he donated so much.
Giving is better then receiving according to Islam and the rewards of giving to others here is receiving a far greater compensation that is greater then the entire earth.(Heaven)
Evil and bad actions will only lead to a compensation which no one wishes it on themselves if they knew.(hell)
So Islam pretty much says give give give and pray to God at all moments, have God with you with every action to every word. Always strive to be among the righteous and good doers. Allah rewards far exceed everything on this earth.
Freedom of choice(to belief) according to the Quran
There is no such thing as forced conversion in Islam. The Quran forbids it
Islamophobia world wide
Beware of all the Islamophobia that is going on across the U.S.A and many other nations across the world. Islam is not a hate based faith, rather a faith that truly encourages love and righteousness.
Islam has been targeted by many and the finger pointing associating radicals with Islam (the faith). It seems as the terror acts done by almost everybody else to being unrelated to their religious believes, but when a Muslim commits such an act then Islam (the faith) is guilty, therefor making all Muslims guilty.
The media among many sources have played a major role in spreading miss-info about Islam. Turning people's attention to something irrelevant (Islam) to being a world threat and ignore major issues like the illegal war against Iraq, the continual occupation of Afghanistan, the collapsing economies, The collapsing education systems, collapsing insurances, fraudulent banking, and much more.
What Islamophobia does is it continues to generalize all Muslims to being somewhat supportive of terrorism or are all terrorist because Islam itself supports terrorism and many spread lies that attempt to justify their claims with Quranic text taken out of context, which are a few and completely ignore the overwhelming text that teach to be peaceful and be moderate.
One of the typical miss-info we find about Islam is that Muslims are supposed to kill all the unbelievers. Which is very far from the truth. Many push That Islam is an ideology that encourages violence and aggression.
What does the Quran command Muslims to do to the unbeliever
There you have it
The Quran does not say "kill all those who don't believe in Islam". The Quran commands to LEAVE THEM ALONE. Disbelievers have the free choice to do so and the Quran confirms of this human right. All people are given the freedom of choice as well force is forbidden on any one to accept belief.
The Quran command that Muslims show kindness to people who are not fighting them or kicking them out of their home and that GOD loves just dealers.
Those who fight the Muslims, the Muslims have a right to fight back until Muslims are victories, but if the enemies stop the fighting then there should be no hostility except against the wrong doers. The innocent are protected.
Muslims are supposed to incline towards peace when peace is offered as well.
It's clear that Islam is a faith that encourages a moderate society that gives people the freedom of choice, a right given by God. That Muslims are not after the none believers and are not on a war against the unbelievers. Islam encourages peace and harmony, productivity and betterment.
It's very important to remember these facts and more important to pass the truth to others.. There are evil forces out there trying to intentionally turn people against each other, but the will of God is stronger then their efforts.
Peace be with you and May you strive in the righteous path from this life to the after.

The Eating of Pork is prohibited in the Quran and the Bible
1. Pork prohibited in Qur’an
The above verses of the Holy Qur’an are sufficient to satisfy a Muslim as to why pork is forbidden.
2. Pork prohibited in the Bible
The Christian is likely to be convinced by his religious scriptures. The Bible prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus
[Leviticus 11:7-8]
Pork is also prohibited in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy
[Deuteronomy 14:8]
The Scripture Speaks against this act and I really wonder how come the Christians across the world cannot agree on the ban of pork when it's against their scriptures and well in today's discoveries which reveal the many down sides of eating pork meat.
Let look at the pig itself well
Obtaining a list of the Different diseases caused by pork was not hard at all and I thank the brothers who have put a list of the many diseases that are caused by eating pork..
DISEASES CAUSED BY PORK IN DETAIL
The following lists show germs or parasites that are found in pork and some diseases caused by them. Many of these diseases are contagious while some are proven fatal. This proves that the more science advances the more Islam is shown correct as a religion of God.
PARASITIC (Bloodsucking) DISEASES
a) TRICHINELLA SPIRATIS ( Trichina worms )
It is the most dangerous parasite to man (Rheumatism and muscular pain). The infected persons shown no symptoms recover very slowly some die, some reduced to permanent invalids. No one is immune from this disease and there is no cure.
b) TAENIA SOLIUM (Pork tape worm)
The worm causes malnourishment of the person leading to anemia, diarrhea, extreme depression melancholia and digestive disturbances. Cysticercosis means that larva enter the blood stream then settle down in one or more of the vital organs of the body, for example: brain, liver, lungs or spinal cord. They grow and encapsulate, inducing pressure to the system around, resulting in dangerous diseases (diarrhea, digestive disorder, anemia, chronic invalidation).
c) ROUND WORMS
Examples: Ascaris, which may lead to digestive disturbances, appendicitis, obstructive jaundice.
d) HOOK WORMS
Examples: Ancylostomiasis, which may lead to anemia, oedema, heart failure or retarded growth (mental and physical), tuberculosis, diarrhea and typhoid.
e) SCHITOSOMA JAPONICUM
Bleeding, anemia and other syndromes; if ova are settled in the brain or spinal cord, paralysis and death may occur.
f) PARAGOMINES WESTERMAINI
Infestation leading to bleeding of the lungs (endenve haemoptysis )
g) PACIOLEPSIS BUSKI
Digestive disturbances leading to persistent diarrhea; generalized oedema

i) METASTRONGYLUS APRI
Causes bronchitis, abscess of the lungs
j) GIGANTHORINCHUS GIGAS
Cause anemia and digestive disorders.
k) BALATITIDIUM COLI
Causes acute dysentery and general weakness
BACTERIAL DISEASES
Tuberculosis Fusiformis necrofurus: causing foot-rot which is very difficult to heal.
Salmonella Cholera suis: causing cholera Paratyphoid Bruceellosis: Acute, sub acute and chronic. It may lead to permanent disabilities. Swine Erysipelas: causing Erysipelas in man.
VIRAL DISEASES
Small pox: is a source of infection to man. Japanese B-encepphalitis: It is the source of infection Influenza, foot mouth disease, gas tro-enteritis of the new born babies.
PROTOZOAN DISEASES
Toxo plasma goundii- It is a very dangerous diseases. A new born baby of an infected woman may die within few days or weeks after delivery. But if he survives he may develop blindness or deafness.In adult chronic exhaustive fever with enlarged liver and spleen may occur. Pneumonia, or celebro- spinal meninggitis which may lead to death or madness. The patient may become blind and deaf too.
OTHER DISEASES
Flesh of the pork is hard to digest and may lead to chronic digestive disturbances. Pimples, boils, cysts are common in pork eaters. These are some of the parasites and diseases found in pork and/ or the skin of pigs and certainly there are many more. There is still no means of killing these parasites, in the tissues, neither has anyone found a method of expelling them, even produced any specific treatment for the diseases. Quran Reading

He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 16:115
He hath only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that on which any other name hath been invoked besides that of Allah. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then is he guiltless. For Allah is Oft-forgiving Most Merciful. 2:173
“Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.” 5:3
Say: "I find not in the message received by me by inspiration any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine,- for it is an abomination - or, what is impious, (meat) on which a name has been invoked, other than Allah.s". But (even so), if a person is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- thy Lord is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. 6:145
The above verses of the Holy Qur’an are sufficient to satisfy a Muslim as to why pork is forbidden.
2. Pork prohibited in the Bible
The Christian is likely to be convinced by his religious scriptures. The Bible prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus
“And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you”.
“Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch, they are unclean to you.”
[Leviticus 11:7-8]
Pork is also prohibited in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy
“And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.”
[Deuteronomy 14:8]
The Scripture Speaks against this act and I really wonder how come the Christians across the world cannot agree on the ban of pork when it's against their scriptures and well in today's discoveries which reveal the many down sides of eating pork meat.
Let look at the pig itself well
The curse word:
What more, sometimes we even insult a person by calling him/her a PIG. It is because of its nature pigs have earned a place in the list of curse words. A clumsy, dirty, immoral, greedy person is often accredited with such a comment.
The Family bond:
If you’ve noticed, almost all animals and birds have a sense of unity, family bond and are very protective of their family, especially their little ones against ANY possible danger. But in case of pigs it is exactly the opposite. They don’t bother if other animals eat their babies. They give a damn if other pigs have sex with its mate!
What do pigs eat?
The pig is one of the filthiest animals on earth. It lives and thrives on muck, faces (shit or poop) or excreta and dirt. Often trash is collected and fed to pigs.
Pigs will scavenge and eat any kind of food, including dead insects, worms, tree bark, rotting carcasses, garbage, small animals and even other pigs. Surprisingly, pigs eat their own babies! They eat anything and everything.
Even if pigs are bred in clean and hygienic conditions they are kept together in farms or barns and they simply cannot resist eating filthy substances or shit from other pigs and of theirs own. They are just filthy by nature.
Another interesting fact is that the pig excretes only 2% of its total uric acid content; the remaining 98% remains an integral part of the body. How about eating well cooked pork?
A common misconception about pork is that if it is cooked well, these deadly bacteria/worms dies. In a research project undertaken in the United States, it was found that out of twenty-four people suffering from Trichura Tichurasis, twenty two had cooked the pork very well. This indicates that the bacteria present in the pork do not die under normal cooking temperature.
Even if cooking pork to an extremely high degree kills few of the deadly bacteria/worms which causes many disease, there arise another vital question. Does it concern an individual whether he or she is consuming live worms or dead worms?! Islamic Era
Obtaining a list of the Different diseases caused by pork was not hard at all and I thank the brothers who have put a list of the many diseases that are caused by eating pork..
DISEASES CAUSED BY PORK IN DETAIL
The following lists show germs or parasites that are found in pork and some diseases caused by them. Many of these diseases are contagious while some are proven fatal. This proves that the more science advances the more Islam is shown correct as a religion of God.
PARASITIC (Bloodsucking) DISEASES
a) TRICHINELLA SPIRATIS ( Trichina worms )
It is the most dangerous parasite to man (Rheumatism and muscular pain). The infected persons shown no symptoms recover very slowly some die, some reduced to permanent invalids. No one is immune from this disease and there is no cure.
b) TAENIA SOLIUM (Pork tape worm)
The worm causes malnourishment of the person leading to anemia, diarrhea, extreme depression melancholia and digestive disturbances. Cysticercosis means that larva enter the blood stream then settle down in one or more of the vital organs of the body, for example: brain, liver, lungs or spinal cord. They grow and encapsulate, inducing pressure to the system around, resulting in dangerous diseases (diarrhea, digestive disorder, anemia, chronic invalidation).
c) ROUND WORMS
