Nowadays, China businessmen know the consumers do not prefer products "made in China ", so they won't show made from which country.
However, you may now refer to the barcodes, if the first 3 digits is 690-692 then it is made in China .

| HIJAB | Feb 6, '10 4:49 AM
for everyone |
This should be posted in all schools and work places.....
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this!
Bill Gates gave a speech at a High School about 11 things
they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how
feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids
with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for
failure in the real world..
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will
expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about
yourself.
Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school.
You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your
Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it
opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine
about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they
are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your
clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were.
So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's
generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but
life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and
they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer..
This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off
and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do
that on your own time..
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually
have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.... ! ! ! !_,___
| STROKE | Feb 6, '10 4:20 AM
for everyone |
STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T..R ...
My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word.
I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the party. Had they known how to identify thesigns of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.
Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this...
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg 'It is sunny out today')
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.
A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
And it could be your own.
PASS THIS ONE.
| KEEPERS | Feb 6, '10 4:07 AM
for everyone |
One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't 'anymore'. No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more 'just one minute.' Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say 'I love you.'
So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when
it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage ... And old cars .. And children with bad report cards, and
dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a
sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make e us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are special. And so, we keep them close!
I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way. Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are 'keepers' in your life, including the person who sent it if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?
I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I
wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.
Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do.
And just in case GOD calls me home .
I LOVE YA!!!
THE SIGNS OF APPEARANCE OF IMAM-E-ZAMANA (A.T.F.S.)
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) said :
| " When there will be unrest and wars in the world , few will plunder others , the older people will not be kind to younger while the younger people will not respect the older ones, at that time Allah will reveal our Imam Mehdi (A.S) who is the 9th descendent of the Ahlul Bait. He will conquer the forts of ignorance, open the hearts of the concealed ones, He will establish the kingdom of Islam in the last era like I did in the begining. He will fill the earth with justice as equivalently as the earth will be filled with injustice and crime." |
Hazrat Ali (A.S) said:
“Remember there are 10 signs of His(Imam Mehdi[A.S]) appearence.
1) Flags will be hoisted in the streets of the city of Kufa.
2) Mosques will be abloished.
3) Less people will perform Haj.
4) Landslides in the city of Khurasan (Mashad).
5) Storm of stones.
6) The appearence of meteor.
7) Union of stars.
8) Harj and Merj.
9) Murder.
10) Crime & plunder. |
A writer asked Abu Jafer (A.S) about the appearence of Imam Mehdi (A.S). He said :
| “When men and women will appear to be the same...., False evidence will be accepted and true evidence will be rejected. Murder and rape will be considered minor offences. Interest will be considered permissable (Halal)...." |
On the Day Of Judgement every individual will be associated with his Imam."
|
i-e on the Day of Judgement every individual will be called along with his Imam. The Holy Quran further says that there are two kinds of Imam. One who will take you towards Heaven and the other towards Hell. Now its our responsibility that we follow that Imam who will take us to Heaven. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) said:
| " THE ONE WHO HAS NOT ACQUIRED INSPIRATION OF THE IMAM OF HIS ERA AND DIES, HIS DEATH IS THE DEATH OF KAFIR." |
So to prevent ; dieing a Kafir it is: our responsibility to acquire inspiration from IMAM-E-ZAMANA (A.S). The name of Imam-e-Zamana is the same as our Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) but since we don't call Him by His name during Ghaibat therefore He is addressed by His titles. His titles are Mehdi , Quaim Aal-e-Mohammad , Sahib-al-Asr-e-Waz-Zaman, Al-Baqi e.t.c. His father is our 11th Imam Hazrat Hassan Askari (A.S) and His mother Nargis Khatoon was the grand daughter of the Emperor of Rome. He was born on 15th Shaban 256 Hijri at Samrah . The night of 15th Shaban is of great bounties and benefits.

IIC Condemns Terrorist Attacks Against Shia Mourners Around the World

(WASHINGTON DC - February 5, 2010) The Islamic Information Center strongly condemns the series of attacks against Shia Muslims around the world that have occurred on the Holy Event of Arbaeen, the 40 day commemoration of Ashura. To learn more about Ashura, click here.
Suicide bombers are targeting Shia worshippers today in Iraq and Pakistan -- much like they did 40 days ago, on the Holy Day of Ashura.
More than 25 people were killed by two car bombs in Karbala -- one of the most important cities in Islam, where millions of people are gathered this week for Arbaeen, the 40 day commemoration of Ashura. The bombs targeted a group of worshippers as they were leaving the city.
It's the second high-profile bombing in Karbala this week -- the first, on Wednesday morning, killed roughly 20 people -- and the third anti-Shia attack: A female suicide bomber blew herself up in a crowd of Shi'ite pilgrims in Baghdad on Monday.
In Pakistan, a suicide bomber attacked a bus full of pilgrims in Karachi, killing at least a dozen of them. The bomber was driving a motorcycle loaded with explosives, according to Al-Jazeera; he blew himself up on a main road between Karachi and the airport.
The main Arbaeen procession, on MA Jinnah Road, is heavily guarded, so the bomber apparently chose a target away from the security cordon.
IIC is also hearing reports now that a second suicide bomber struck in Karachi -- this one at Jinnah hospital, where dozens of victims from the bus bombing were taken for treatment. Pakistani TV reporters described "stretchers flying through the air" after the bombing.
"The United States condemns the series of bombing attacks against Shia pilgrims in Iraq over the past week. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement.
"Attacking men, women and children engaged in religious pilgrimage is reprehensible and exposes the cynical immorality of the terrorists who seek to replace Iraq?s hard-won progress with violence and intimidation," she said.
"They will not succeed in breaking the will of the Iraqi people. Iraqis are committed to realizing the promise of their democracy. There is no better rebuke to those who traffic in terror," she said.
These attacks are a horrific tragedy, and reminiscent of the original sacrifice of Prophet Muhammad's Grandson, Imam Husain, in which violent armies attacked peaceful travelers in an effort to perpetuate tyranny. When the original Ashura attack against Imam Husain lead to his death, the death of the majority of his family members, and the imprisoning of small children and women, the event became a rallying cry for hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world to stand up against oppression. In this spirit, Ashura is commemorated as the reminder of the need for Muslims to stand united against oppressors.
Islam, as taught by the Holy Prophet and his family, strongly advocates peaceful dialogue and discussion and rejects violence. The Prophet Muhammad (May God Bless Him) condemned all forms of terrorism against all people. The individuals who perpetrated this attack blatantly acted against the teachings of Islam and humanity.
The Islamic Information Center, under the guidance of Imam Syed Naqvi, works to bring understanding among people of all faiths and background in an attempt to build bridges for the future to prevent hate crimes through education and tolerance. IIC also works to correct any misinformation about matters relating to the Holy Religion of Islam. |

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Salam Alikum Dear Believers,
The Imam Mahdi (atfs) Association of Marja'eya (I.M.A.M.) would like to send its condolences on the 40th day (Arbaeen) of the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (as).
In addition to being the 40th day after Imam Hussain's martyrdom, the day of Arbaeen is also important because it was on this day that Imam Zayn al-Abideen (as) and the women and children of Ahlul-Bayt (as) were able to leave Damascus and return to Medina. On their way, they stopped in Karbala to build proper burials for their family members and to mourn the tragedy. Hence, the day of Arbaeen is not only one in which the members of Ahlul-Bayt (as) experienced intense grief in returning to the site of the massacre of Imam Hussein (as) and his family and companions, but also one which represents to the beginning of azadari and majalis, or mourning gatherings to remember the tragedy of Karbala.
Please remember the characteristics of the believers as listed by our Imam peace be upon him:
- Visiting Imam Husayn and other martyrs in Karbala on the day of the 40th, if not possible, recite Ziyaarat of the Holy Imam and other martyrs of Karbala, anywhere you are.
- To wear a ring in the right hand.
- To put the forehead on the earth (preferably on the earth of Karbala) in prostration.
- To pronounce "Bismillahir-Rah'maanir-Rah'eem" in clear and loud voice while praying the salaats.
- Pray 51 Rak-a't Namaaz during the 24 hours of the day of Arba-e'en, (17 Rak-a'ts in obligatory, and 34 Rak-a'ts in Naafilah Salaats).
In addition, Imam Jaa'-far bin Muhammad Al Saadiq (A.S.) had advised the faithfuls to recite the following "Ziyaarat" on the day of Arbae'en. The details of this ziyarat and others can be found at: http://www.duas.org/safar/arbaeen.htm

A SUPPLICATION CONTAINING ALLAH'S GREATEST NAME
Imam al-Husain ibn `Ali ibn Abu Talib is quoted narrating the following incident:
"We were making our tawaf around the Ka`ba when we heard someone reciting these verses of poetry:
O You Who answers the distressed and those who in the depth of the darkness utter their supplication, O You Who removes the causes of the trials, the pain, together with the tribulation, Around Your Sacred House are Your guests who have come from everywhere, Supplicating while the eyes of Allah never sleep, always aware, I plead to You to grant me Your Forgiveness for the sins I have committed, by Your Grace, Your creation knows You, Lord, to be Most Gracious, so I plead to You by the Light of Your Face! If Your pardon never reaches a sinner nor bless, Who is to be gracious unto those who transgress?
"My father `Ali ibn Abu Talib," the Imam continues, "said, `O Husain! Don't you hear someone grieving about his sin, complaining to his Lord? Go and bring him here.' So I hurried till I was able to reach him. I found him to be a handsome man, his body looked free of deformity, his clothes seemed to be very clean, and I could smell the fragrance he was wearing. I also noticed that his right side was paralyzed. I approached him and ordered him to present himself before the Commander of the Faithful. He came and the Commander of the Faithful asked him, `Who are you, and what is your story?' The man said, `O Commander of the Faithful! What is the case of a man who opted to do what is punishable while not performing what he is enjoined to perform?' The Imam asked him again, `What is your name?' The man answered, `Munzzil son of Lahiq.' He asked him, `What is your story?' He said, `I used to be quite famous among the Arabs for merry-making and sinning in my youth, without waking from my slumber. Now if I repent, my repentance will not be accepted from me, and if I try to amend my steps, I will not be able to do that either. So I prolong my transgression during the [sacred] months of Rajab and Sha'ban. My father used to be quite affectionate and compassionate towards me. He used to warn me against the outcome of my ignorance and the terrible end awaiting the transgressors. He used to say, `O son! Allah sometimes manifests His might when He expresses His Wrath; so, do not tread the avenues of those who will be penalized with the Fire, for how often people have complained about you, and so have the sacred angels, and the sacred months, the nights, and the days?' Yet whenever he persisted in admonishing and reprimanding me, I persisted in beating him. One day, when my conduct pressured him too much, he said, `By Allah I am going to fast and will not break my fast, and I shall offer prayers and will not sleep...' He fasted for one week, then he rode a lean camel and went to Mecca for the pilgrimage and said, `I shall go to the House of Allah, and I shall plead to Allah to side with me against you.' He reached Mecca on the day of the Great Pilgrimage, took hold of the curtains of the Ka`ba and invoked Allah against me saying,
O One to Whom pilgrims come from far and wide, Those who come walking, and those who ride, Hoping to win he Grace of the One, the Dignified, The One who Sustains, from Whom none can hide, This Munazil never seems to cease, though I chide, So effect retribution; Your Judgment none can override, And do inflict pain on him and do paralyze his side, You were never born, nor bears, but is always sanctified!
"I swear by the One Who raised the heavens and caused the water to form springs, he hardly finished his statement when my right side was completely paralyzed, and I remained like a piece of wood lying somewhere in the precincts of the Sacred House. People used to come and go and say about me, `This is a man the plea of whose father Allah has answered.'"
Imam `Ali asked him, "What did your father do?" He said, "O Commander of the Faithful! I requested him to invoke Allah on my behalf in the same way he invoked Him against me, now since he reconciled and was pleased with me. I placed him on a she-camel and we rushed till we reached the valley of Arak when a bird suddenly flew from a tree and scared the she-camel. My father fell and died on the way.' `Ali said, "Shall I teach you certain invocations which I have learned from the Messenger of Allah and about which he said that nobody recites them without Allah Almighty removing his distress from him?" He said, "Yes, please do!" Imam al-Husain stood up and taught him the invocation. He recited it and was healed from his ailment and his complete health returned to him. I asked the man, "What did you do?" He said, 'When all the eyes calmed down, I recited it, then repeated it a second time, then a third, whereupon I heard someone saying, `Suffices you Allah, for you have invoked Him by His Greatest Name which, if anyone implores Him by it, He will answer him, and if anyone requests him for something, He will grant it!' So I slept and I saw the Messenger of Allah in my vision, and he said to me, `Truly `Ali, my cousin, has told you the truth: it does contain Allah's Greatest Attribute which, if one pleads to Him by it, He will oblige, and if one asks Him for something, He will grant it.' Then I saw him a second time in a vision, so I said to him, `O Messenger of Allah! I love to hear you reciting that invocation!' He said,
Lord! I plead to You, O One Who knows what is hidden! O One by Whose Might the heavens is erected, and the earth is spread out, and the sun and the moon through the Light of Whose Greatness illuminate and shine! O One Who approaches every believing and pure soul! O One Who removes the fear of those who are in awe of Him, those who are righteous! O One Who takes care of all the needs of His creation, Who has saved Yousuf from the bondage of slavery, Who has no doorman to be approached, nor does He have a supporter to be defeated, nor does He have a vizier to be bribed, nor is there any other god besides Him so he would be called upon, nor does He increase, despite His giving, except in giving and in open-handedness..., and surely Allah has blessed Muhammed and his progeny! Whereupon I implore You, Lord, to grant me my quest, for You can do anything at all.
"So I woke up and I was healed." `Ali said, "Uphold this supplication, for it is one of the treasures of Paradise."
