I didn’t understand it either, but here is the explanation:

In the middle of the night…

When wolves become Shepherds

Lazy Boy

Bathe yourselves in Money

Lessons from the life of Eessa ibn Maryam

These are titles that I’m sure some of you remember. I believe it to be around 2004. Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef was in the “EmanRush Zone”, and each lecture quickly fell into the category called “Classic” ma sha Allah.

It’s been 5 years since that time. EmanRush hasn’t released singles in years.

Get ready, for today is the launch of Muhammad Alshareef 2.0.

Who said that World class lectures are out of style? If they are, they’re coming back anyway..just like Tafsir Juz Amma

Tuesday, July 14th tune into www.ilminar.com at 5pm EST/10PM BST

Obama Starts Digg-Like System Called “Open For Questions”

I think this is an amazing idea.  Really innovative and if it really does go to the Obama government then we can bring about real serious change.  Basically how this works is any user who registers at Open For Questions can submit questions and vote yes or no to questions that are already submitted.  I did a quick search for the keyword “israel” and found a lot of positive questions that have a lot of “yes’s” that made me extremely happy.

I request everyone to share 2-3 minutes by registering for this site and submitting your questions as well as voting yes to the questions that matter to you most.  Especially the ones related to Islam, Muslims and the Muslim world.

Where the Obama haters at?

We’ll make you a PDF version of the Khutbah that you can print. We have included enough text in the template to avoid any difference of opinions amongst the scholars. And you can even include translations, if you want.

• Draft a Khutbah. How to make a Khutbah? What are the steps? What kind of research do I need to do? It’s all here in a small, handy guide.

• Get ready to deliver your Khutbah. What was the sunnah of the Prophet [SAWS] as a khateeb? How to deliver the Khutbah? What about the salaah afterwards? We got it all covered in the Khateeb’s Guide, alhamdulillah.

Barack Hussein Obama is the popular candidate amongst the general population under the age of 35 in America. From social networking sites like Facebook.com, Digg.com, and Reddit.com, you will see litereally hundreds of thousands of people supporting Barack Obama, while only thousands support Hillary Clinton and maybe a few hundred supporting John McCain.

Let me break it down to you in numbers just to prove my point:

In the name of God

To Alhambra Productions, IlmQuest, MeccaCentric, SoundVision, Astrolabe, and any other Muslim media company that provides Islamic video lectures.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your efforts and work in order to provide high quality lectures for the Muslim Ummah to benefit from. Before I begin discussing Islamic video lectures and the Muslim community, I’d like to spend some time discussing the broader scale of videos, movies, etc. and the common practice of downloading using BitTorrent or other file sharing protocols.

IslamCrunch recently posted about a site which offers one entire page listing rss feeds from various Muslim news, sites, blogs and basically anything related to Islam and Muslims. This is really good to find out what’s hot in the online Muslim ummah. It is also good to find blogging material that or blogs that you never knew existed. The creator of the website is Guy Kawasaki, who was very friendly with me suggesting some sites to add. I told him about MuslimMatters.org, Seekers Digest and some other blogs. You can tweet him here and ask him to add any other Muslim blog or sites that you may not see on the page.

StumbleUpon Islam

Have you used StumbleUpon or heard of it?  I’ve been using for months now and it has greatly increased my traffic to my blog, alhamdulillah.  They also have many different categories and topics, one of them includes Islam.  This is a good opportunity to give a better picture of Islam to a younger audience worldwide that use StumbleUpon.  It is also a great dawah tool.  The only way it can work successful is if all Muslim Stumblers give a thumbs up for all the Muslim submitted content.  For example if you like any of my posts or any other Muslim content online, you should give it a thumbs up and submit it to StumbleUpon.   Egyptian Gumbo has written more about this.  I highly recommend you to read it here.

On my blog you can click the “Share This” button at the bottom of every post and it will allow you to submit it to many of the social networking and news websites.  StumbleUpon is one of them.
