No More Pets



My pet duck George died yesterday, we were all sad as we had got used to him strutting around as if he owned the place. More worrying is that this leaves little Mildred, his partner alone. We have a neighbour who has several hens, ducks and turkeys so we may let her go and live with them so that she has some company. We were planning on getting some hens but maybe we will give it a miss.

Hi Julie, so sorry to hear about George. These pets are such a joy to have but they do cause pain when they leave us as I know to my cost. It is part of the price we pay for knowing them and we have to be brave. We will all meet up again one day. Perhaps you should buy Mildred some eggs to sit on, that is what a friend of mine did in similar circumstances. Dawn xx

Hello!
[url=http://www.internetmosque.net ] A new MP3 CD quality stereo audio English only Quran (for the first time on the internet)[/url]


Islam is `the religion of peace' because:

the Arabic word Islam is derived from the Arabic word "Al-Salaam" which means peace.


It might seem strange to think of this as a misconception, but in fact it is. The root word of Islam is "al-silm" which means "submission" or "surrender." It is understood to mean "submission to Allah." In spite of whatever noble intention has caused many a Muslim to claim that Islam is derived primarily from peace, this is not true. Allah says in the Qur'an (translated):

[2:136] Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed to us and that which was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have surrendered. [Arabic "Muslimoon"]

A secondary root of Islam may be "Al-Salaam" (peace), however the text of the Qur'an makes it clear that Allah has clearly intended the focus of this way of life to be submission to Him. This entails submission to Him at all times, in times of peace, war, ease, or difficulty.

Dear Julie,

So very sorry to hear about your George. We lost our pup, Lucy recently. We miss her everyday. I'm glad George had a sweet life with you and that you will work out the best situation for his companion. Peace and all good things for you. Sincerely,
