Seerah - Battle of Tabuk

No Mushrik is allowed at Masjid ul-Haram (Makkah). If you have trust in Allah, He will protect you. If you have taqwa and believe in Allah, He will provide you with rizq that you never expected. Fight those who don't believe in Allah and the Last Day. The battle of Tabuk was the last battle that Rasulullah SAW fought before he died.

Seerah

The Muslims saw a tree that the Mushriks hung their swords on. The Mushriks thought doing that would give them blessings. The Muslims asked Rasulullah SAW if they could have a tree like that too.
Allah promises us ease after difficulty.
Angels are soldiers of Allah.
May Allah put peace and tranquility on Rasulullah SAW and his followers.
someone was going to strike a muslim. A man saw and came behind him and hit him. then he squeezed him and he felt death.

Albuquerque and Balloon Fiesta

Yesterday, which was my birthday, I came back from Albuquerque. The yearly Balloon Fiesta was yesterday! We watched hot air balloons fly in the air. There was bad traffic while we were trying to get there. We had to pray Fajr in the van. We ate cheese bread sticks. At 6am about, we saw the balloons released already. We counted eleven. The weather was awfully cold. When we finally got to the parking space, we opened the van door, and cold air blew in. My feet felt dead. Especially since I wasn't wearing socks. Anyhow, we watched balloons blow up and get in the air. Some balloons looked like bees. There was a clown balloon and a haunted house balloon that couldn't get up, and they fell down. After that we went to the fair and played some games. H and I threw darts at balloons, but we only popped one. H and Z got dog toys. No, not dog toys, dog soft toys. Well, it was kind of a mix-up between a kangaroo and a dog, because it had a short tail and big ears. So it was probably a Chihuahua. We went to the Balloon Museum and explored the boringness of air and flight and whatsoever. Then, when we were about to leave, we decided to go to the gift shop. Our dad gave us twenty dollars each. I bought a pendant.
After that we went to the masjid and Yasmine's Cafe.
Then we went to the Talin Chinese store and got JELLY!!!

Picnic!

On Saturday the masjid held a picnic at the park. There was a jumping balloon. One looked like a dog and one looked like Spongebob. There was chicken, salad, donuts, cupcakes, and lots of other yum-headed things. I rollerbladed with Skina and our friends. There was ice cream. I had an ice cream sandwich and a popsicle. I was quite sweaty. But it was fun and we left at about 5 o clock.

Islamic History

Abdullah bin Masud’s legs were skinny. The sahaba laughed at them. Muhammad said, “Why are you laughing at his legs? They are going to be very heavy on the scale on the Day of Judgement.” I don’t see what’s so funny about skinny legs. It’s better than having big fat legs.
Abu Sufyan was going to become a Muslim. He said, “Ash hadu an La ilaha illa Allah.” Muhammad said, “Say that I am the Messenger of Allah.” Abu Sufyan said, “There is something in my heart that is stopping me to do so.” Someone said, “Abu Sufyan, say it before you get persecuted.” So Abu Sufyan said it.

Islamic History

Abu Sufyan went to the house of his daughter Umm Habibah. Abu Sufyan saw a rug on the floor and was going to sit on it, but Umm Habibah pulled it away and rolled it up. Abu Sufyan said, "I don't know if that rug is not fit for me, or if I'm not fit for that rug." She said, "This rug belongs to Rasulullah SAW and you are a dirty mushrik!"

Blackouts and BM's

Last night there was a rainstorm, a bad one, so bad it gave us a blackout. Before the blackout though, we were eating dinner. Thunder rolled...and then at a point when we were eating calmly, CREACKKK!!! The lightning and thunder cracked so loud that Skina's eyes widened, and H put his head down but looked up. I made a face at them that said, Are you scared? Very funny.

And today my brother Z pooped in his underwear, a very stinky moment.

Today H made donuts and my mom made cream puffs! Yumm!

Friday and Saturday Plans

This Friday we're going to the masjid for a bake sale provided by a Muslim Girls' Club. (For more info about the club, please go to muslimaatrus.blogspot.com.) H is selling at the men's side, and Skina, I, and some other people are selling at the womens' side. The proceeds go to Muslims Without Borders or Islamic Relief.
My mom's friend is going to have a baby, so we're planning a baby surprise for her. We're making...a DIAPER cake. *Gag* Some girls are coming to our house to make it. But at the masjid there's also a picnic...sadly I can't go because of the girly diaper cake.
So today my mom is making pandan chiffon cake. I think she's making a red one too, with sirap. And on Monday and Tuesday, she made Chocolate Lemon Biscotti. H is making donuts and malawah.
Skina made a banner for the men's table, I made one for the women's.
Might put pictures up.

Muhammad's Life - Islam of Khalid and Amr

Amr bin Al Aas said, "If all my people became Muslim, I wouldn't."
Amr bin Al Aas asked King An-Najashi if he could kill Muhammad. King An-Najashi smacked Amr so hard he thought his nose was broken and his nose started to bleed. He covered it up with his clothes. An Najashi said, "Do you ask me to kill Muhammad?!" Amr had a sudden change of feeling.

Amr bin Aas asked for new clothes because his clothes were covered in blood. So he got new clothes and wore them. When his companions saw him, they were happy. Amr bin Al Aas went to Madinah so he could become Muslim. On the way he met Khalid bin Waleed and Uthman bin Talhah.

He asked them, "What are you doing here?"
They said,"We're going to Madinah to meet Muhammad so we can be Muslim!"
Amr said, "That is the same reason that brought me."

Muhammad was eagerly waiting for the three men to come to him even though they had done very bad to him. But Muhammad was so happy that they wanted to be Muslim.

One time Khalid saw Muhammad and the other Muslims praying Asr. Khalid planned to kill Muhammad, but he just couldn't. He hesitated. Then he knew that Muhammad was being protected. Allah saved Khalid and wanted good for him.

When Khalid was going to Muhammad to be Muslim, he asked Safwan if he wanted to be Muslim too, but Safwan said, 'no'. He asked Ikrimah, and he said, 'no'. Khalid dressed up nicely to meet Muhammad.

"I always knew you were intelligent, and I always hoped that your intelligence would bring you to Islam." - Muhammad to Khalid.

Muhammad's Life Continued

In the old times, whenever a limb is cut open somehow and the blood flows out, you have to put something hot and burning on the limb, not water. I don’t know why, but that’s how it works.
Some people killed Muhammad’s shepherd and stole his camels. Muhammad made dua against them. Their punishment? Their eyes were branded with hot metal nails. This is because they branded the eyes of Muhammad’s shepherd.
Muhammad wa Khamees! Muhammad and his army!
Ali ibn Abi Talib’s eyes had a disease. Some people brought him to Muhammad. He put some of his saliva into Ali’s eyes and they were cured. Miracle.
The ostrich is a super fast bird. 65km per hour.
Muhammad put a young girl on top of the luggage of his camel and he started riding. When he got to his destination, the girl and Muhammad got off. The girl saw blood on the luggage. She sat next to the camel, embarrassed. It was her first period. Muhammad came and asked her, “What’s wrong? Did you have your period?” She said, “Yes.” He said, “Wipe it with water and salt, then take a bath.” She did, then Muhammad called her name and put a necklace around her neck. She said, “I’ll never take it off.” So when she died, she was buried with it.
