The transitions been dreamed of in Burma, will these transitions be possible in the presence of the violent clashes between Buddhists and Muslims. The threat to these transitions is at a massive level. If the threat was on a small scale, it could be argued that these can be controlled and there are some strategies that can help in saving the Burmese democracy. But the fact that defines the threat being out of control and being of massive proportions is that Burma has been under the control of military since more than 5 decades.

الاعتكاف كلمة نسمعها فى شهر رمضان الكريم وبالأخص فى العشرة ايام الأواخر ولكن ما معنى الاعتكاف وما مشروعيتة من كتاب الله تعالى وسنة نبيه(صلى الله عليه وسم) وإجتهاد العلماء والصحابة وهل هناك مباحات للمعتكف وماذايبطل الاعتكاف والإجابة على هذه الاسئله يجب ان يعرفها كل مسلم اخى المسلم مازالت امامك الفرصه فمازال هناك ايام مبا ركة فى هذا الشهر الكريم بإمكانك ان تجدد نيتك وتعتكف فى بيت من بيوت الله وتوثًّق صلتك برب العالمين وتتضرع وتزيد من اعمالك الصالحة. اعتكاف (1) معناه: الاعتكاف لزوم الشئ وحبس النفس عليه، خيرا كان أم شرا. قال الله تعالى: (ما هذه التماثيل التي أنتم لها عاكفون) أي مقيمون متعبدون لها. والمقصود به هنا لزوم المسجد والإقامة فيه بنية التقرب إلى الله عز وجل. (2) مشروعيته: وقد أجمع العلماء على أنه مشروع، فقد كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يعتكف في كل رمضان عشرة أيام، فلما كان العام الذي قبض فيه اعتكف عشرين يوما. رواه البخاري وأبو داود وابن ماجة، وقد اعتكف أصحابه وأزواجه معه وبعده، وهو إن كان قربة، إلا أنه لم يرد في فضله حديث صحيح. قال أبو داود: قلت لأحمد رحمه الله: تعرف في فضل الاعتكاف شيئا؟ http://muslim-academy.com/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%AA%D9%83%D8%A7%D9%81-%D9%88%D9%81%D8%B6%D9%84%D9%87-%D9%81%D9%89-%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%B1-%D8%B1%D9%85%D8%B6%D8%A7%D9%86-%D

The presence of Muslim Athletes especially women in various sports could provide a lot of public opinion and a debate because of the use of hijab can affect a sports game. The doubt use of hijab for Muslim Athletes denied the existence of Muslim women athletes, which capably made history after earning a gold medal in the sport run. In Islam, use of hijab serves to cover the nakedness of a woman when confronted with the opposite sex who is not Mahram. Therefore, it can say that the veil is necessary for a woman in a dress and not a religious symbol. Close the genitals are the most basic instincts and one of the distinguishing characteristics of humans and animals.

Othman Ebn Affan became a valued man. Especially after Al Hijra because of his good behaviors and his good manners, in addition to his situations that clearly illustrate his love to Islam and Muslims. His value and position among Muslims continued to grow day by day, especially that the Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him trusted him very much and considered him a main pillar for the Muslim society. One day Muslims planned to go for Umrah in Makkah and the men gathered for this purpose. When Muslims arrived to the boarders of Makkah, its people refused to let Muslims enter the city to perform Umrah. The Prophet told Omar Ebn Al Khattab "go to the leaders of Makkah and tell them that Muslims came for Umrah and not for a war", but Omar Ebn Al Khattab replied "O Prophet, you know I would do anything you say, but you know how much the people of Makkah hate me, so if I entered Makkah, they will kill me instantly and I won't be able to deliver your massage. I suggest that you send Othman Ebn Affan." http://muslim-academy.com/othman-ebn-affan-5/

Islam is the largest growing religion in the world and the second largest religion, right after Christianity. The history of the religion is of hundreds of years and people from time to time entered and embraced Islam because of the attractiveness in the religion. Let's put some light on this sacred religion and discuss the misconceptions about it. People have their own way of thinking and have their own perceptions. The need of time it to bring a change and show people the true and actual side of Islam. This blog will move around the misconceptions about Islam and how we can snub them and how we can change the discernment of individuals against Islam. Every religion has good and bad people and we should always look towards good to spread happiness and to avoid conflict. Islam is a prominent and well spread religion worldwide and it contains people of all kind. There were several incidents after which people and especially people of the west started thinking that Muslims are terrorists, extremists and merciless people like the incident of 9/11. This perception is wrong and we should not blame all the Muslims for this bizarre incident done by some ruthless people. Jihad is another issue and people do have misconceptions about it as well. http://muslim-academy.com/misconceptions-about-islam/
