True Story

There was once a man who was an enemy to Islam. He had three famous questions that no person could answer. No Islamic scholar in Baghdad could answer his three questions...thus he made fun of Islam in public. He constantly ridiculed Islam and the Muslims. One day a small boy, who`s age was 10, came along and heard the man yelling and screaming at Muslims in the street. He was challenging people openly to answer the three questions.
The boy stood quietly and watched. He then decided that he would challenge the man. He walked up and told the man, "I will accept your challenge".


The man laughed at the boy and ridiculed the Muslims even more by saying, "A ten year old boy challenges me. Is this all you people have to offer!"


But the boy patiently reiterated his stance. He would challenge the man, and with Allah`s help and guidance, he would put this to an end. The man finally accepted.


The entire city gathered around a small "hill" where open addresses were usually made. The man climbed to the top, and in a loud voice asked his first question.


"What is your God doing right now?"


The small boy thought for a little while and then told the man to climb down the hill and to allow him to go up in order to address the question.


The man says "What? You want me to come down?"


The boy says, "Yes. I need to reply, right?"


The man made his way down and the small boy, age 10, with his little feet made his way up.


This small child`s reply was "Oh Allah Almighty! You be my witness in front of all these people. You have just willed that a Kafir be brought down to a low level, and that a Muslim be brought to a high level!"


The crowd cheered and screamed "Takbir"...."Allah-hu-akbar!!!"


The man was humiliated, but he boldly asked his Second question... "What existed before your God?"


The small child thought and thought.


Then he asked the man to count backwards. "Count from 10 backwards."


The man counted..."10, 9 ,8 , 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,0"


The boy asked, "What comes before 0 ?"


The man: "I don`t know...nothing."


The boy: "Exactly. Nothing was before Allah, for He is eternal and absolute."


The crowd cheered again...."Takbir!"...."Allah-hu-akbar!!!!"


The man, now completely frustrated, asked his final question. "In which direction is your Allah facing?"


The boy thought and thought.


He then asked for a candle. A candle was brought to him. The blessed child handed it to the man and asked him to light it.


The man did so and remarked, "What is this supposed to prove?"


The young boy asked, "In which direction is light from the candle going?"


The man responded, "It is going in all directions."


The boy: "You have answered your own question. Allah`s light (noor) goes in all directions. He is everywhere. There is no where that He cannot be found.


"The crowd cheered again...."Takbir!"...."Allah-hu-akbar!!!"


The man was so impressed and so moved by the boy`s knowledge and spirituality, that he embraced Islam and became a student of the young boy.


So ended the debate.


Who was the young boy?


The young boy was one of our leaders and one of the greatest scholars, Imam Abu Hanîfa (May Allah bless him).    

This Made My Eyes Wet

Every Friday afternoon, after the Jumma prayers, the  Imam and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out "PATH TO PARADISE" and other  Islamic literature.

This particular and fortunate Friday afternoon, as the time came for the Imam and his son to go to the streets with  their booklets, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring rain.

The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, 'OK, dad, I'm ready!'

His dad asked, 'Ready for what' 'Dad, it's time we go out and distribute these Islamic books.'

Dad responds, 'Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring rain.'

The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, 'But Dad, aren't people still going to hell, even though it's raining?'

Dad answers, 'Son, I am not going out in this weather.'

Despondently, the boy asks, 'Dad, can I go Please'

His father hesitated for a moment then said, 'Son, you can go. Here are the booklets. Be careful son.'

'Thanks, Dad!'

And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going  door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a pamphlet or a booklet.

After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST BOOKLET. He  stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a booklet to, but the streets were totally deserted.

Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang  the bell, but nobody answered..

He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer.

Finally, he turned to leave, but something stopped him.  Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him  there on the front porch!

He rang again and this time the door slowly opened.

Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, 'What can I do for you, son?' With radiant eyes and a  smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, 'Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just  want to tell you that ALLAH REALLY LOVES AND CARES FOR YOU and I came to give you my very last booklet  which will tell you all about God, the  real purpose of creation, and how to achieve His pleasure.'

With that, he handed her his last booklet and turned to leave.

She called to him as he departed. 'Thank you, son! And God Bless You!'

Next week on Friday afternoon after Jumma prayers,  the Imam was giving some lectures. As he concludes the lectures, he asked, 'Does anybody have questions or want to say  anything?'

Slowly, in the back row among the ladies, an elderly lady's voice was heard over the speaker.   'No one in this gathering knows me. I've never been  here before.  You see, before last Friday I was not a Muslim, and thought I could be. My husband died few years ago, leaving me totally alone in this world.. Last Friday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, I was contemplating suicide as I had no hope left.

So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home.. I fastened the rope securely to a  rafter in the roof then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and  broken-hearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.

I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly....

I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me.' I loosened the rope from my neck  and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.

When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and  angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you! The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, 'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that ALLAH REALLY LOVES AND CARES FOR YOU!'

 Then he gave me this booklet, Path To Paradise that I now hold in my hand.

As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this book. Then I  went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more.

You see? I am now a Happy Vicegerent of the One True God. Since the address of your congregation was stamped on the back of this booklet,  I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell.'

There was not a dry eye in the mosque. The shouts of TAKBIR...ALLAH AKBAR.. rented the air.

Imam-Dad descended from the pulpit to the front row where the little angel was seated....

He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.

Probably no jama'at has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a father that was more  filled with love and honor for his son... Except for One. This very one...

Q 5:3: This day I've perfected your religion for you, and completed my favor on you, and chose Islam for you as religion....   With prayers,

Ajax Star Rating

After reviewing the CSS for a star rating system at komodomedia.com, I decided to make my own star rating system using AJAX. There are a few out there, one is another really good one created by Ryan Masuga over at www.masugadesign.com. I really could have just used his, but oh no, I needed to challenge myself – and I wanted to add feature or two. After a few days I came up with my own unobtrusive ajax star rating system.

star rating example

Bug Fixes in v1.7

    Fixed ratings appearing in the correct order. Order by highest rated AND most ratings. (Sebastians Comment)

Features

    Non-obtrusive (works with javascript disabled)
    Does not allow multiple votes – checks against IP and cookies
    Tested in IE 6, IE 7, Firefox 2.x, Opera and Safari
    Pre-loads all images
    Easily style text using the stylesheet
    Precise rating to a 2 decimal place
    Automatically pull top rated based on a custom number – NEW!
    Ability to set ‘novote’ option in the function to not allow users to vote (same thing as static)
    Checks not only against IP upon vote but now includes a cookie check
    Display rating information you want using true or false
        Show rating out of 5
        Show rating in percentage format
        Show number of votes

Installation

Open up includes/rating_config.php and change the mysql database connection info:

$server = 'localhost'; // Database server (default localhost)
$dbuser = 'user'; // Database user
$dbpass = 'pass'; // Database pass
$dbname = 'test'; // Database Name

Now upload the files/directories to your web server. I have named all files
with the prefix "rating_" to not clash with your other files.

You will need to create the necessary tables for the rater. You can either run "create_ratings_table.php" OR paste the following SQL into your phpMyAdmin.

CREATE TABLE `ratings` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`rating_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`rating_num` int(11) NOT NULL,
`IP` varchar(25) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Usage

The following 3 lines must be on your page.

include("includes/rating_functions.php");

<link href="css/rating_style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all">
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/rating_update.js"></script>

Now to call the rating stars to display on your page, simply add:

echo pullRating(35,false,false,false,NULL);

Param 1: 35 would be your unique rating id (usually people put $_GET['id'] in there)

Param 2: The first false statement is if you want it to show the rating out of 5.
Example: 3/5. Change this to true if you want to display the rating.

Param 3: The second false statement is if you want to show the rating in percentage format.
Example (50%). Change this to true if you want to display the percentage.

Param 4: The last false statement if if you want to display the total amount of votes
Example (23 Votes). Change this to true if you want to display the amount of votes.

Param 5: The last statement is if you want it to be static (no one can vote) or if you want people to be allowed to vote. NULL is the default but if you only want logged in users to vote then you can change this to ‘novote’. If you’ve used Ryan Masuga’s star rating system then you’ll find this does the same thing as ‘static’.

Getting the top rated items

This feature was added upon request, if you read the comment’s then you’ll know who requested it. Here is an example of the function being used

echo getTopRated(10,'articles','article_id','article_title');

What this is doing getting the top 10 rated articles. You must specify how many top rated items you want to return, fallowed by what table name you are looking in, followed by the id in the table (auto incremented, primary key) and the title/name you want to display.

The function will return the following:

    Baby Born (5.0)
    NY loses to BC (3.4)
    Man loves food (3.2)
    Nike to sponsor vegetables (1.5)

This is returning the article_title along with the rating for it.
