I heard this interesting definition:

The meaning of life is to:

FIND SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOURSELF AND DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO IT

(source: talk on ted.com)

When was the last time you saw a Muslim on any of the crime shows? How about police chases? Cops?

Did you know that 1 in every 4 people is a Muslim?

Did you know that there more Muslims in China than in Saudi Arabia? (that throws out the stereotype.. huh)

You know why? Think and learn.

Let us think critical and rational…

Think, reflect… no body is dying for your sins and you are not created to live, occupy space and time and die…

I have had some discussions with some people about the value of debates in inviting people to faith. Debates could be a lot like sports matches. I believe that debates are only useful for the small percentage of any audience who can hear beyond the art of speech and who attend carrying an academic mentality towards religion (as all Muslims should be since Islam focuses on logic throughout the Quran… we can debate that too).

I like the way that the second debate started and I would like to reiterate it here:

“Christians wake up; no body is dying for your sins. You will be accounted for every single deed that you make or will make.”

These 2 debates took place in California between Jalal Abu Al Rub, David Wood and James White.

The topics a are as follows (you can download the audio by clicking at the titles)

1. Is Muhammed (pbuh) a Prophet?

2. Does the bible teach that Jesus (pbuh) is God?

Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h): Mercy to Mankind

A friend of mine has e-mailed me this presentation; I thought it’s a nice presentation. Comments, suggestions are welcome. You can download the Prophet-Muhammed-pbuh powerpoint presentation

227963 - عن عثمان أنه دعا بوضوء فمضمض واستنشق وغسل وجهه ثلاثا وذراعيه ثلاثا ومسح برأسه وطهر قدميه ثم ضحك وقال ألا تسألوني ما أضحكني قلنا ما أضحكك يا أمير المؤمنين قال ضحكت أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم دعا بوضوء قريبا من هذا المكان فتوضأ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كما توضأت ثم ضحك كما ضحكت ثم قال ألا تسألوني ما أضحكني قلنا ما أضحكك يا نبي الله قال أضحكني أن العبد إذا توضأ فغسل وجهه حط الله عنه كل خطيئة أصاب بوجهه فإذا غسل ذراعيه كان كذلك فإذا مسح رأسه كان كذلك فإذا طهر قدميه كان كذلك

فإذا توضأت المرة القادمة فاضحك و اسأل من حولك من زوجة أو أقارب أو أولاد: ألا تسألوني ما أضحكني؟ ثم قل عن عثمان أنه دعا بوضوء فمضمض
