LIVING THE QURAN

Beautiful Example
Al-Ahzab (The Confederates) Sura 33: Verse 21

"Indeed, you have in the Messenger of God a beautiful example for those who hope
for God and the Last Day, and remember God much."

This is among a number of verses that establish the importance of obeying the
Prophet and following his example, even in matters not addressed directly by the
Quran. In the immediate context, the beautiful example that is found in the
Prophet refers to being steadfast in combat and holding one's ground, but this
verse is also among the most important regarding the position of the Prophet in
Islam in general. Although his function as God's messenger is unique and
inimitable, the Prophet's words and actions are considered to provide the
archetype of a life lived in full submission to God.

Regarding the Prophet's example, Ali ibn Abi Talib is reported to have said, "He
was the most generous of people, the most truthful of the people in speech, the
gentlest of them in temperament, and the noblest of them in social affability.
If someone saw him unexpectedly, he was awestruck by him, and if someone
associated with him knowingly, he loved him. ... I have never seen the like of
him, either before him or after him."

The example provided by the Prophet is for those who look forward to reward from
God or to the meeting with God, thus for those who believe in the Resurrection.
In this context, and remember God much can be seen as a reference to the heart
of the prophetic example, since to live in accord with the prophetic model is to
live in constant remembrance of God.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROPHET'S LIFE

Financial Assistance

Begging or soliciting financial assistance is disapproved in the Shariah and
should only be resorted to in the case of necessity. The Prophet (peace be upon
him) said to Qabeesa:

"O Qabeesa, begging is not permissible but for one of three (classes) of
persons: one who has incurred debt, for him begging is permissible until he pays
that off, after which he must stop; a man whose property has been destroyed by a
calamity which has smitten him, for him begging is permissible till he gets what
will support life or will provide him reasonable subsistence; and a person who
has been smitten by poverty, the genuineness of which is confirmed by three
intelligent members of his people, for him begging is permissible until he gets
what will support him, or will provide him subsistence. O Qabeesa, besides these
three, [every other reason] for begging is forbidden, and one who engages in
such consumes that which is forbidden." [Muslim]

Instead of asking from others and relying upon others, a Muslim should much
rather prefer to work for his own wealth, even if his work is of a very menial
nature. In another hadith, the Prophet (peace be upon him) stated:

"It is better for one of you to bring a load of firewood on his back and sell
it, than to ask of another who might give him or refuse to give him." [Muslim]

COOL TIPS!

Six Tips To Dealing with TV

It's tough to escape peer pressure when your friends keep talking about the
clothes, the music and the stars. Today, Television defines teen culture. With
its barrage of alluring advertisements and captivating shows, it tells you what
is cool and what is 'in' and 'out. Let Islam, not the media, decide your dress
code, morals, and values.

1. Watch what is Halal. Stick to the most "clean" material you can find. TV
should be used with discretion to watch educational and insightful programs or
decent entertainment.

2. Remove the TV from your room. Having a TV set in your own room encourages you
to watch it more. You are less likely to be tempted by Shaytan to watch
something indecent when you have a parent, a sibling, or a friend watching with
you. Remember, Shaytan loves attacking people who are 'bored', sitting idle, or
in a company of bad people. Keep the TV in the main room, where it won't
distract you.

3. Adopt and support Islamic media. Hundreds of educational or entertainment
multi-media products crafted by Muslim artists, writers, producers, and singers
hit the market every year. These cartoons, movies, and songs could be enjoyable
for the entire family!

4. Limit viewing time. If you have to watch TV, limit yourself. Write down a
number of hours per week and stick to your limit.

5. Keep the box off when you're doing other things. Whether you're eating
dinner, doing your homework, or reading a magazine, you dont need the TV to be
on at the same time--keeping it on simply encourages you to watch TV more and
neglect other activities.

6. Have a TV free get-together with friends. Make the following rule: no one
will watch TV or movies in the living room. If you want to go further, make it a
rule that the topics of conversation cannot revolve around the latest twist in a
soap opera or the most recent plot on a sci-fi show. Play basketball, go for a
walk, do anything but watch TV.
