A Beautiful Question and a beautiful answer

“Please always remember it. Don't say “Mosque”.....say "Masjid". An
Islamic organization found the meaning of “Mosque " is " Mosquitoes". Don’t write “Mecca “Its means ‘house of wines’. Write "MAKKAH", and don’t write the name of Our Prophet (S.A.W) or Ur name in short as "MOHD", for it means ‘The dog with big mouth’. So write “MOHAMMAD "spread this around. Plz forward this message to as many as possible.”

Answer:-

3) The origin of the word mosque is not mosquito as some people have claimed. This can be checked on any online dictionary or lexicon. Instead, mosque comes from the Arabic word Masjid¸ <-- adsense -->which the Spaniards and French pronounced as mesqid. After going through a phase of different pronunciations, the word ended up as mosque.

As regards, Mecca we agree too, that it should be written 'Makkah' and not Mecca, but not because it means a place of wine. This is false. Mecca does not mean that at all. Mecca originates from the Arabic word Makka, but since the Westerners have now used the word Mecca for any place where people flock to in abundance, even casinos and businesses, (as people flock to Makkah for Hajj), hence we should avoid using the spelling ‘Mecca’.

The same applies to Mohd. Where this story about a dog with a big mouth originates, only Allah knows, but we should not abbreviate the Name of Our Rasool (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) in any way. Generally abbreviations are done out of laziness.

A question

ASSALAM U ALYKUM TO ALL,
“Scientist has proved that the sound which comes from heart beat is LUB DUB. But now they analyze that it is RUB RUB. RUB is an Arabic word which means He who made each and everything. That is ALLAH. So it means every heart beat says AL-LAH ALLAH. If u believe in this fwd dis to all your friends.”

Answer:-

1) Don't put too much faith in what the scientists say. Tomorrow they'll turn around and say the sound is DUB DUB. This will certainly please the rappers! So what, if the sound is RUB RUB? This won't help us one bit. What will count is whether Rab (ALLAH) is on our lips, in our actions, and proactively in our heart. Will it help the disbeliever if his heart says RUB RUB?

In fact, according to Surah Humaza (Chapter 104 of the Quran Shareef), the Hellfire will even penetrate the hearts of the disbelievers. Shall we believe that Allah will burn a heart that makes his thikr? The Hadith teaches us that the limbs and joints of Believers make the thikr of Allah. But this does not apply to Kuffaar or people who have rejected and denied Islam.

Cockerel spared after 'crowing 'Allah''

Amazing Have you ever heard any

Animal doing this?

A cockerel in the Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan has saved itself from the pot after crowing what its owner claimed was "Allah", the Arabic word for God.

The two-year-old rooster was set to be turned into chicken soup after its owner, Ibragim Ismatullayev, found it to be extremely aggressive.

However, Mr Ismatullayev has said that as he put the knife to the cockerel's neck, the bird "screamed" and, on hearing this, his five-year-old son said "dad, it's saying 'Allah, Allah'."
The sound of the cockerel was then recorded on a mobile phone, and its life was spared.
Firdevs Robinson, editor of the BBC's Central Asian service, said that stories of this sort quite frequently came out of Central Asia.
She told BBC World Service's Reporting Religion programme that a lion in Azerbaijan was said to have roared the word "Allah" every time the call to prayer was issued.

"People started queuing up outside the zoo, and it went on for a long while" she added.

Why can you remember your dreams? Researchers uncover why only somepeople can recall them in the morning

• Team found there are two types of dreamers
• Only one can remember them the next morning
• The researchers found the temporo-parietal junction, an information-processing hub in the brain, is key

Researchers have discovered how we store dreams - and why some people can never remember them the morning after.

A French team say they have identified two types of dreamer - and only one can remember them.

They discovered a region in the brain responsible for remembering dreams, allowng them to be encoded in our memory while we sleep.

HOW THEY DID IT

Researchers used Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to measure the spontaneous brain activity of 41 volunteers during wakefulness and sleep.

The volunteers were classified into 2 groups: 21 'high dream recallers' who recalled dreams 5.2 mornings per week in average, and 20 'low dream recallers,' who reported 2 dreams per month in average.

High dream recallers, both while awake and while asleep, showed stronger spontaneous brain activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and in the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ), an area of the brain involved in attention orienting toward external stimuli.The team were puzzled by the fact some people recall a dream every morning, whereas others rarely recall one.

The team led by Perrine Ruby, an Inserm Research Fellow at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center studied the brain activity of these two types of dreamers in order to understand the differences between them.

The researchers found the temporo-parietal junction, an information-processing hub in the brain, is more active in high dream recallers.Increased activity in this brain region might facilitate the encoding of dreams in memory, they believe.

In a study published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, the team found 'high dream recallers' have twice as many time of wakefulness during sleep as 'low dream recallers' and their brains are more reactive to auditory stimuli during sleep and wakefulness.

This increased brain reactivity may promote awakenings during the night, and may thus facilitate memorisation of dreams during brief periods of wakefulness.

'This may explain why high dream recallers are more reactive to environmental stimuli, awaken more during sleep, and thus better encode dreams in memory than low dream recallers. Indeed the sleeping brain is not capable of memorising new information; it needs to awaken to be able to do that,' said Perrine Ruby, who led the study.

The South African neuropsychologist Mark Solms had observed in earlier studies that lesions in these two brain areas led to a cessation of dream recall.The originality of the French team's results is to show brain activity differences between high and low dream recallers during sleep and also during wakefulness.The team found those who slept badly were more likely to remember their dreams'Our results suggest that high and low dream recallers differ in dream memorization, but do not exclude that they also differ in dream production.'Indeed, it is possible that high dream recallers produce a larger amount of dreaming than low dream recallers' concludes the research team.In this new study, the research team sought to identify which areas of the brain differentiate high and low dream recallers.They used Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to measure the spontaneous brain activity of 41 volunteers during wakefulness and sleep.The volunteers were classified into 2 groups: 21 'high dream recallers' who recalled dreams 5.2 mornings per week in average, and 20 'low dream recallers,' who reported 2 dreams per month in average.

High dream recallers, both while awake and while asleep, showed stronger spontaneous brain activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and in the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ), an area of the brain involved in attention orienting toward external stimuli.
