Impetus Muslim

I am a muslim. March 28, 2008

This is cool video i came across the other day i thought its worth mentioning.

Automate your reminder for salah November 5, 2007

Peace be upon you.

I come online, and i usually start my work by watching one of the video from my collections, I don’t like to visit you tube that often because no matter how hard i promise myself to just watch one video or so I always end up deceiving. I end up watching other videos which changes the whole reason for beginning with a video that is to motivate me or remind me.

Another thing I also noticed it that once I am working online it is very easy to lose the track of time and sometimes miss the Prayer time this way. If you are in the same situation as me, I have a good news for you. Considering that you are using Firefox browser, you can doanload this

this is a plugin for firefox you can download it from here…. it will simply show you the prayer timings and will give you a warning when there are less than 30 minutes left and also give you a pop up when it is time for PRAYER. So inshallah if you are in need of reminder this small program is really good . There is also another one here if you want to choose between 2 make your choice here….

If you are using Internet Explorer and you want the same thing i don’t know of any plug in that exists but you can download something like this which might be even better than a plugin, here….

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask..

Best Wishes.

Luqman’s Advice September 17, 2007

My dear son 0bserve the act of worship and enjoin equity forbid what is wrong, odious and abominable and exercise patience with composure when exposed to a misfortune or wedded to a calamity, for this reflects the attitude of mind that mirrors high spirit and strong will.

(Quran: Luqman:17)

RAMDAN DAY 2 September 14, 2007

Assalam-o-alekum

recent lessons learned.

The advice is no good unless i act upon it, often and often Allah Tallah reminds us in the Quran and gives us examples but if I don’t act upon it there is no use of that advice to me. With having said that there is also need for knowledge (ilm) and Ilm is just knowing, so now I know what is good and what is bad. How do I hold myslef back ? how do i resist the temptations, how do i restrain from the things that are not pleasing to my creator. This is where the Dua comes in from, you have to ask Allah Tallah to give you the power give you the Wisdom (hikma) to act upon what you have learned.

Allah Tallah says in surah Luqman:

We gave Luqman Hikma (wisdom).

to be continue…..

what happened to all the days in between ? August 27, 2007

What happened to the daily posts ?, well as  you know I am home for the 2 weeks I have off the school and spending sometime with the family and doing some work at home and helping my dad with his business. There is hardly anytime to myself these days plus there is a TV at the house with the stalite dish which is messed up, I get Independent film channel, and  sundance so that takes up the hour or 2 that i have to spare. Other than that there is a lot of traveling. My cousins want to hang out, have to take my sisters for shopping back to school and many other little things. Running around all day it gets really tiring and I hardly get time to myself. Today I was spouse to go camping with my cousins and little brother but i cancel that plan because I have to help my dad and get some things done for him before I leave and get my life back in order as well.

This is not a pile of excuses, this is what is really going on and it is not the cause of me being lazy and not posting and not keeping up with my promises and commitments. It is that I fall back into my old habits with the lack of my self discipline. So what i have to do is build up more self discipline and inshallah I will be working on it.
