Misconceptions about Islam
Islam today is a religion that is highly misunderstood, highly misinterpreted and highly misrepresented, especially by the western media. there are many issues today that dwell in the minds of people who seek to know the real truth about Islam, yet the avenues that depict Islam give them a very bad impression of this way of life. let us embark on a quest to share the truth of many of these misconceptions that are in the back of the minds of many people from all parts of the globe.

Surah (Chapter) 19 Maryam (Mary) Ayat (verses) 16 to 33 - about Mary (Maryam) and Jesus ('Isa)
Translation - Muhammad Asad
16 - Apparently, in order to devote herself undisturbed to prayer and meditation. The eastern place may possibly, as Ibn Kathir suggests, signify an eastern chamber of the Temple, to the service of which Mary had been dedicated by her mother (cf. Surah 3:35 -37).
17 - The Sanctuary where she had retired for devotion was an eastern chamber in the Temple, and as was customary she had hung a curtain to conceal herself from the people. It cannot be Nazareth as some people have wrongly taken it to be, because Nazareth is to the north of Jerusalem.
As pointed out in surah 2: 87 and 16: 2, the term ruh often denotes divine inspiration. Occasionally, however, it is used to describe the medium through which such inspiration is imparted to Gods elect: in other words, the angel (or angelic force) of revelation. Since - as is implied in 6: 9 - mortals cannot perceive an angel in his true manifestation, God caused him to appear to Mary in the shape of a well made human being, i.e., in a shape accessible to her perception. According to Razi, the designation of the angel as ruh (spirit or soul) indicates that this category of beings is purely spiritual, without any physical element.
21 - the identical phrase in verse 9 of this surah, relating to the announcement of Johns birth to Zachariah. In both these cases, the implication is that God can and does bring about events, which may be utterly unexpected or even inconceivable before they materialize. In connection with the announcement of a son to Mary, the Quran states in 3: 47 that when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, Be - and it is: but since neither the Quran nor any authentic Tradition tells us anything about the chain of causes and effects (asbab) which Gods decree Be was to bring into being, all speculation as to the how of this event must remain beyond the scope of a Quran-commentary. (But see also note on 21: 91.)
21 - "Thus it is" means "A pure son shall be born to you just as your Lord has decreed, even though no man has touched you. "
21 - One of the several meanings of the term ayah is a sign or, as elaborately defined by Raghib, a symbol (cf. surah 17: 1). However, the sense in which it is most frequently used in the Quran is a [divine] message: hence, its metonymic application to Jesus may mean that he was destined to become a vehicle of Gods message to man - i.e., a prophet - and, thus, a symbol of Gods grace. As regards the words thou shalt have a son interpolated by me between brackets, a statement to this effect is implied in the subsequent phrase beginning with so that (Zamakhshari and Razi).
23 - I.e., compelling her to cling to it for support: thus stressing the natural, normal circumstances of this childbirth attended - as is the case with all women - by severe labour pains.
24 - Thereupon [a voice] called out to her from beneath that [palm-tree]: [Or: from beneath her. However, Qatadah (as quoted by Zamakhshari) interprets this as meaning from beneath the palm-tree.]
26 - Lit., say - but since actual speech would contradict what follows, the saying implies here a communication by gestures.
26 - In its primary sense, the term sawm denotes abstinence or self-denial; in the present context it is synonymous with samt (abstinence from speech); in fact - as pointed out by Zamakhshari - the latter term is said to have figured in the Quran-copy belonging to Abd Allah ibn Masud (possibly as a marginal, explanatory notation).
27 - Lit., she came with him to her people, carrying him.
28 - In ancient Semitic usage, a persons name was often linked with that of a renowned ancestor or founder of the tribal line. Thus, for instance, a man of the tribe of Bano Tamim was sometimes addressed as son of Tamim or brother of Tamim. Since Mary belonged to the priestly caste, and hence descended from Aaron, the brother of Moses, she was called a sister of Aaron (in the same way as her cousin Elisabeth, the wife of Zachariah, is spoken of in Luke i, 5, as one of the daughters of Aaron).

The Grand Mosque of Xian
The Grand Mosque of Xian
Portraits by Shahbaz Anwar & Saima Akhtar
Built in the Tang dynasty in the 7th century, it is said to be one of the first mosques in China. Located in the middle of the Muslim Quarter in Xian, where over 70,000 Muslims live, it is an oasis of tranquility.
To get to the prayer hall, I had to walk through a sprawling complex of lush gardens filled with cobblestone pathways and pools of water lilies to the background of birds chirping. The mosque grounds, covering an area of over 13,000m2, were built with the aim of allowing the worshipper to empty his mind of worldly distractions. There are five main courtyards, each with a signature pavilion and old stone archways inscribed with both Chinese and Arabic lettering: “May the religion of the Pure and Real spread wisdom throughout the land” and “The mosques are the markets of the afterlife.”
In the centre courtyard, you come across the Pavilion for Introspection, with a 10-metre brick tower that serves as a minaret. Three stories high, the tower’s eaves are decorated with blue glazed tiles and carved dragonheads.

Ethnically the country is as diverse, with the Kazakhs making up over half the population, the Russians comprising just over a quarter, and smaller minorities of Uzbeks, Koreans, Chechens and others accounting for the rest.
These groups generally live in harmony, though Russians resent the lack of dual citizenship and having to pass a Kazakh-language test in order to work for state agencies. Since independence many ethnic Russians have emigrated to Russia.Astana, capital of Kazakhstan

They said it .. he is the best video ever .. It is really well ..قالوا عنه..انه افضل فيديو علي الاطلاق..وهو فعلا كذلك
Allah says in The Noble Qur’an: “The Believers are but a single Brotherhood.” [Al-Hujurat 49:10]The Messenger of Allah (SWT) said, “When Muslims are angry with each other for three days. If they do not compromise then they go away from the limits of Islam and the one who compromise first will enter Jannah (Paradise) earlier.”
The Messenger of Allah (SWT) said, “The Muslims are like a body, if one part of the body hurts, rest of the body will also suffer.”
The Messenger of Allah (SWT) said, “Believers are brethren, their lives are equal to each other and they are as one hand against their enemy.”
The Messenger of Allah (SWT) said, “It is not permissible for two Muslims to be annoyed and angry for more that three days.”
Allah Allah Ya Masr
Sheikh Mishary Rashid Alafasy: (in my childhood affected voice Sheikh Egypt; I loved reading the Koran).and one of the readers commented on the news: when there is one man .. You like the entire country .. since I knew that Sheikh Mishary Rashid Al Kuwaiti and I adore all that is Kuwaiti.
Converge words of Sheikh of Kuwait and Egyptian reader, as an example of a strong opening in the good, and convergence among the Muslims.
We take the very best, especially when we saw his modesty, and politeness in his interview with Egyptian television. He cultivates his love of God in the hearts of the people, and all this in the balance of good deeds, God willing, even after the cut off of work. May not have heard of Sheikh before now only a little, but the impact of his smart and beautiful will continue a lot. And does not commend one to God. I liked the song in the words of said characteristics of the people of Egypt, and her visit to the prophets, and the status of Al-Azhar.
The good word may open a country such as (such as Indonesia in Muslim without a fight, but the treatment of Muslim traders and among them the Arabs when they traveled to a request for a living, and advocacy. where he came early traders from the Arabian Peninsula From: Oman, Hadhramaut, and the southern coast of Yemen, and took their positions First on the west coast of Sumatra, and they called Smadrp, and they were the people of the Shafi'i school year, the Indians have entered the islands of the Hanafi doctrine).
And a good word has almost hearts (such as Muslims and Europeans with American who transcends - unfortunately - some Muslim Arabs on the degree of religiosity).
And may serve as a good word peoples (such as Africa that had been forgotten by some in the religious call to it without oil, or material return).
Let the key to good Muslim Mglaca a good word for evil, or keep silent. And to distance himself a Muslim for any word racist malicious; have made sedition, or lost people, or frustrate the work.

reason for back pains
These are some stretching exercises which can assist in alleviating lower back pain by looseningmuscles through the lower back and more importantly through the legs. A lot of lower back painic caused by tight hamstrings dragging on the lower back.
Lumbar spondylosis is a degenerative condition which affects the lower spine. In a patient with lumbar spondylosis, the spine is compromised by a narrowing of the space between the vertebrae, causing a variety of health problems ranging from back pain to neurological issues. This condition is usually caused by old age, as the spine undergoes changes as people grow older, and many of these changes contribute to degeneration of the vertebrae. Spondylosis, which can appear in the cervical and thoracic vertebrae as well, is also known as spinal osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis
  Light Exercise May Prevent Osteoarthritis |
Light exercises such as walking and bowling and avoidance of knee-bending activities such as climbing and squatting may protect against osteoarthritis of the knee in at-risk people, researchers report.
On the flip side, high-impact sports such as running and skiing are associated with knee cartilage damage in people who are overweight, have had knee injuries or knee surgery, have a family history of osteoarthritis, or have other risk factors, according to a study presented here at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness. According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, it's the most common form of arthritis, affecting an estimated 27 million Americans over the age of 25.

Cervical Spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis is a disorder in which there is abnormal wear on the cartilage and bones of the neck (cervical vertebrae).
Cervical spondylosis is a common degenerative condition of the cervical spine. It is most likely caused by age-related changes in the intervertebral disks. Clinically, several syndromes, both overlapping and distinct, are seen. These include neck and shoulder pain, suboccipital pain and headache, radicular symptoms, and cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). As disk degeneration occurs, mechanical stresses result in osteophytic bars, which form along the ventral aspect of the spinal canal

46. And were persisting in great sin (joining partners in worship along with Allah, committing murders and other crimes, etc.)
47. And they used to say: "When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be resurrected?

55. "So you will drink (that) like thirsty camels!"
56. That will be their entertainment on the Day of Recompense!
57. We created you, then why do you believe not?
58. Then tell Me (about) the human semen that you emit.
59. Is it you who create it (i.e. make this semen into a perfect human being), or are We the Creator?
60. We have decreed death to you all, and We are not unable,
61. To transfigure you and create you in (forms) that you know not.
62. And indeed, you have already known the first form of creation (i.e. the creation of Adam), why then do you not remember or take heed?
63. Tell Me! The seed that you sow in the ground.
64. Is it you that make it grow, or are We the Grower?
65. Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry pieces, and you would be regretful (or left in wonderment).
66. (Saying): "We are indeed Mughramun (i.e. ruined or lost the money without any profit, or punished by the loss of all that we spend for cultivation, etc.)! [See Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol. 17, Page 219]
67. "Nay, but we are deprived!"
68. Tell Me! The water that you drink.
69. Is it you who cause it from the rainclouds to come down, or are We the Causer of it to come down?
70. If We willed, We verily could make it salt (and undrinkable), why then do you not give thanks (to Allah)?
71. Tell Me! The fire which you kindle,
72. Is it you who made the tree thereof to grow, or are We the Grower?
73. We have made it a Reminder (for the Hell-fire, in the Hereafter); and an article of use for the travellers (and all the others, in this world).
74. Then glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.
75. So I swear by Mawaqi (setting or the mansions, etc.) of the stars (they traverse).
76. And verily, that is indeed a great oath, if you but know.
77. That (this) is indeed an honourable recital (the Noble Qur'an).
78. In a Book well-guarded (with Allah in the heaven i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz).
79. Which (that Book with Allah) none can touch but the purified (i.e. the angels).
80. A Revelation (this Qur'an) from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
81. Is it such a talk (this Qur'an) that you (disbelievers) deny?
82. And instead (of thanking Allah) for the provision He gives you, on the contrary, you deny Him (by disbelief)!
83. Then why do you not (intervene) when (the soul of a dying person) reaches the throat?
84. And you at the moment are looking on,
85. But We (i.e. Our angels who take the soul) are nearer to him than you, but you see not, [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol.27, Page 209]
86. Then why do you not, if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense (punishment, etc.)
87. Bring back the soul (to its body), if you are truthful?
88. Then, if he (the dying person) be of the Muqarrabun (those brought near to Allah),
89. (There is for him) rest and provision, and a Garden of delights (Paradise).
90. And if he (the dying person) be of those on the Right Hand,
91. Then there is safety and peace (from the Punishment of Allah) for (you as you are from) those on the Right Hand.
92. But if he (the dying person) be of the denying (of the Resurrection), the erring (away from the Right Path of Islamic Monotheism),
93. Then for him is entertainment with boiling water.
94. And burning in Hell-fire.
95. Verily, this! This is an absolute Truth with certainty.
96. So glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great

I praise Allah for sending me you my love
You found me home and sail with me
And I`m here with you
Now let me let you know
You`ve opened my heart

And I ask Allah to bless all we do
You`re my wife and my friend and my strength
And I pray we`re together eternally

Everything changed when you came along
And theres a couple word I want to say

In front of me I strongly feel love
And I have no doubt
And I`m singing loud that I`ll love you eternally
