It is also forbidden to take the organs from those to be hanged before death or after, as man does not own his body. Brain death is also not a real death according to Shari'ah; only when the heart, breathing and the brain stops functioning completely, will it be actual death. Taking organs from the sick and the dead was also declared forbidden. This was announced at a big lecture for doctors and professors in Medical schools at Assiut University in Egypt. It was stressed that some Ulema and Muftis have been misinterpreting the meaning of some verses in the Qur'an in order to justify organ transplantation. The shaykh warned against blindly following the West in medical practices, as God and religion are not considered before allowing any medical procedures. Islam came to guide sciences and medicine and not the other way round. He quoted that even after an animal had been slaughtered, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) forbade us from cutting any part of the animal till it had died completely and all movement had ceased. This confirms the rulings by the late Shaykh bin Baz (Arabian Peninsula) and Shaykh Metwalli al-Sha'rawi (Egypt) who also declared all types of organ transplantations as completely forbidden. (Ref: Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat Newspaper, 30 March 2003) Dr A.Majid Katme (Islamic Medical Association) *********************************************************************** DENTAL TREATMENT FOR SISTERS (Greater London) Many brothers ask me for advice regarding where they can obtain dental treatment for their wives, daughters, etc given by a sister.There is a sister called Noreen working at a dental practice in London who can be contacted on 020 8845 8905.

The thinking behind Buymuslim is that there are over 1.7 billion Muslims worldwide with a sizeable number of them living in the West. Hence, business and trade amongst the Muslim community is a huge market, and Muslims should aim to increase their strength and influence wherever they are. This website will sell Islamic goods and merchandise, in addition to general products and services supplied by Muslim businesses, in order to strengthen trade and brotherhood amongst ourselves. While capitalist companies increase their monopolies, we reveal the BUY MUSLIM strategy. The website www.buymuslim.co.uk is currently in development. A test site is already up but is being radically re-designed. If you have any products whatever they are (clothing, books, electronics, audio, video, computing) or if you provide any services (accounting, medical, lawyers, web design), please contact us and we can discuss the suitability of selling/advertising your products on our site.

There are many paths leading to Allah's contentment with His slaves! Education is one of them ... Would you like to join us for a very worthwhile cause? The Arabic 4 All Institute is an educational, charitable organisation dedicated to the development of teaching and learning the Arabic language. Our aim is to make Arabic available to all people. We believe that children should be given the opportunity to learn Arabic as a language in addition to reciting the Holy Qur'an. Muslim children have proved to be succesful in reading and memorising the Qur'an from an early age, as well as learning foreign languages. Surely they can learn Arabic if it is presented to them in the right way. Colourful books and lively learning resources would make learning an enjoyable and meaningful experience!

In the UK It is LEGAL to kill an unborn child up to six months pregnancy and up to birth (9 months) in the case of disability.

Date: Saturday 26th April Time: 11.00 am - 1.00 pm The aim will be to raise awareness amongst the public about the horrific reality of abortion and remind them to STOP this inhumane legalised killing of our innocent unborn children. Our good Christian friends have asked for our help and support to join them in this event as they have done every year. As we all know, Islam is against Abortion and it is prohibited. Life is sacred in Islam! So I appeal to all sisters and brothers to join us, just for 2 hours, in this unique, Islamic, humane cause and for da'wah purposes.

There seem to be many different paths in front of us. What should a Muslim do and is there only one right method? Allah (swt) created each one of us with different interests and abilities. Some of us may be inclined towards learning and teaching, others may be more talented in writing and responding to anti-Islamic propaganda, some might be better at speaking in public and explaining the beauty of Islam, while others may be more productive in physically helping the poor and orphans. Whatever the capabilities that Allah has placed within us, for whichever aspect of Islam, it is essential that we try our level best. Following on from the event a fortnight ago, when a number of Islamic organisations presented practical projects that ordinary people can get involved in, this week's interactive session will aim to evaluate the interest in such projects, their relevance and whether we are truly sincere in wanting to contribute positively to the Ummah or are merely good at giving lip-service and nodding our heads at talks. Venue: Froud Centre, 1 Toronto Avenue (on the corner with Romford Rd), Manor Park, London E12 5JF Buses: 25, 147, 86 Nearest Tube: East Ham (District Line) Nearest BR: Manor Park (From Liverpool Street) For more information contact: Tel: 07958 326 176 E-mail: islamic_circles@hotmail.com *********************************************************************** THE PEOPLE OF ALLAH: FOLLOWING THEIR FOOTSTEPS (Bradford) Special Guest Speakers: * Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi * Sidi Naeem Abdul Wali Date: Sunday 27th April 2003 Time: 2.30 pm Venue: Jamiat Masjid, Barkerend Road, Bradford BD3 * £1 Admission Fee * Brothers and sisters welcome For further information contact: Tel: 07791 631760 or E-mail: info@imanfoundation.com Profiles of Shaykhs: Shaykh Naeem is an American convert to Islam who has studied the Islamic sciences in Istanbul for over eight years full-time at the feet of some of the finest scholars including Shaykh Mahmud Effendi and Shaykh Ihsan Khoja. He has focussed his efforts exclusively in the traditional methodology studying the classical texts in aqeedah, Hanafi fiqh, and other subjects to an advanced level. Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi is from Damascus. He is the son of the eminent scholar Shaykh Ibrahim al-Yaqoubi (RH), who was one of the leading scholars of Syria - the Maliki and later the Hanafi Imam of the Grand Umayyad Mosque. He recently moved to Sweden, where he started learning foreign languages and served as an Imam for the Muslim community in Gothenburg. Some of the books he studied under his father include; most of the six books of Hadith, al-Muwatta' of Yahya al-Laythi, most of al-Muwatta' of Imam Muhammad with Sharh al-Laknawi, Ihya 'Ulum ad-Deen, al-Hidaya of al-Marghinani, Mughni al-Labeeb of Ibn Hisham, several volumes of Irshad as-Saari of al-Qastalani. Shaykh Muhammad wrote a thabat (detailed list) of the names of the books he studied under his father entitled, The Concealed Pearls. This is a testament to his father's efforts in passing on his knowledge and experience to his children, a rarity in our modern times. *********************************************************************** IRAQ - PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE (Manchester) As the crusader continues to ravage Iraq, with millions suffering, the Muslims throughout the world feel connected to the Islamic lands of Iraq. Iraq which was opened up with the blood of the Sahabas was for centuries the leading place for culture, art and civilisation. Not surprising then that many of the leading schloars came from this land, including Hasan Al-Basri, Abu Hanifah, Qadi Abu Yusuf, Ibn Sirin as well as many others. With such a glorious history under Islam the Muslims yearn for a better future for Iraq. A future that would not only reshape Iraq but also the whole of the Muslim Ummah according to Islam, such that Muslims once again can live under the shade of the Khilafah state, Inshallah.

Also we are carrying on with our petition forms. So far we have about 90,000 signatures. Hardly any Muslims have signed. What a disgrace ..!

One may ask what is the purpose of IMASE? Allah says that He created us for one purpose, and that is to worship Him. How do Scientists, Engineers and others go about worshipping Allah in their work? Are we as Scientist and Engineers in it merely to make money, or do we have a greater purpose in mind? How do we put our profession to His service, for the advancement of the Ummah? Especially since the majority of Muslim countries still have to see the benefit of Science and technological advances, particularly those gained in the last century. IMASE aims to be a practical consulting and problem-solving organisation that uses its network of members from the scientific community's finest, to help in the development of individuals, other organisations and nations across the Muslim world. We invite you to get involved. To learn more about our organisation, please visit our website: www.imase.org Or contact us at info@imase.org *********************************************************************** MASSACRES UPDATE Please visit http://www.alkhilafah.info/massacres for details of some of the massacres taking place around the world. Perhaps you feel that this does not really affect you and that you should be more concerned with your own problems. Think again! It could easily have been you or us in those very pictures. It isn't that inconceivable. Have some concern at least, and try to do something about it, however small. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE This is a responsible information based e-mail.
