    InshaAllah Sidi, I will make du'a in these most important of days of beautiful Golden RamaDan. It is amaizing subHanAllah to hear of 8 ijtima's in Kuwait,AlHamduLilAllah, mashaAllah!!!

    This means that Da'wate Islami covers much of the Kuwaiti territory of 3 million people. It is very encouraging that Sunnah is alive among Kuwaitis, and the expatriate population there.

    jazakAllah khayr Sidi for correcting me, I love you for that

    your bro

    Brother Wadood the situation is Kuwait is not as bad as you may think, Alhamdullilah i met Many Dawat-e-Islami brothers from Kuwait at Madinah tul Awliya Multan during the Annual ijtima of Dawat-e-islami. They informed me that there are many Kuwaiti Sunnis who attend the ijtima's, there are many Sunni Ulama (The Ulama in Kuwait do not have much influence in the Masjids).

    Alhamdullilah az'zawajal the weekly ijtima's of Dawat-e-Islami take place every week in 8 cities of Kuwait.

    Just do dua for Muslim's everywhere.

    I would not be surprised if al furqan might be running around among some circles in Kuwait. That land has turned into some kind of an Ogre land full of either salafis or rawafiDs or people almost entirely ignorant of religion and this is most of the times on purpose in full conscience. Its like a madhab less land. People dont know or dont care, be it salafis or the Americanized Kuwaitis. Very few Sunni Muslims and practitioners of Tasawwuf.

    Such people there love America, they are basically Americans, but I would say even most of the Americans are hundreds of time more religious or fundamentalist in their faith (be it some kind of evangelism, catholicism, baptist or mormon)

    These Kuwaitis are generally free birds. This situation is the same in many other areas of the Gulf, though 'Oman is a special case and now UAE too due to the efforts of the Habaib.

    i receive many chain letters and i keep ignoring them but unfortunately they don't die away. i feel such letters should be debunked, though i have always preferred to ignore.

    Hi you cant ignore this;

    send it to as many muslims as u can.
    The new AMERICAN Quran: a dangerous trick A new Quran is being distributed in Kuwait, titled "The True Furqan". It is being described as the ayats of the Shaytan and Al-Furqan weekly magazine has found out that the two American printing companies; 'Omega 2001' and 'Wine Press' are involved in the publishing of 'The True Furqan', a book which has also been titled 'The 21st Century Quran'! It is over 366 pages and is in both the Arabic and English languages...

    It is being distributed to our children in Kuwait in the private English schools! The book contains 77 Surats, which include Al-Fatiha, Al-Jana and Al-Injil. Instead of Bismillah, each Surat begins with a longer version of this incorporating the Christian belief of the three
    spirits.

    And this so called Quran opposes many Islamic beliefs. in one of its ayats it describes having more than one wife as fornication, divorce being non-permissible and it uses a new system for the sharing out of the will, opposing the current one. It states that Jihad is HARAAM.
    This book even goes as far as attacking Allah, Subhanahu wa Tahala!
    All this is poisoning our children at approx. $3.
    Brothers and Sisters please make sure you forward this email to as many people as possible so that we can stop this dangerous trick. Please tell everyone you know and may Allah reward you. DONT BELIEVE IT?....

    Please copy and paste because people ignore fowarded messages!!!

    assalamu `alaykum.

    first of all this news is partly true. a bunch of criminals have ganged on together to make a hotch-potch thing they call it 'true furqan'. it is available on amazon too. but the part that it is running amok in kuwait is untrue to the best of my knowledge. it might have been found in a couple of missionary schools but then it must have been stamped out. even if not, why raise the the ruckus by panicking? this is free publicity granted to them. and quite it is likely that the above message is let loose by one of them. notice, that the letter begins with a 'hi'.

    let us learn a little about our own religion. the qur'an is unalterable and it is in the protection of Allah ta'ala Himself. He says in the qur'an: 'verily, We have revealed this scripture and We shall safeguard it'

    therefore, the qur'an will remain unchanged - this is a necessary part of correct `aqidah - till kingdom come.

    some years ago they started a site 'suralikeit' as an answer to the qur'anic challenge: 'Tell them: bring ye a surah like it, if you are truthful'. muslims - as has become the habit in our time - made a scene about it. i was annoyed at the behavior of muslims which actually demonstrated their lack of faith. and surprisingly, the antagonists made a very true statement to this effect: 'we are only answering qur'anic challenge to bring a surah like it.'

    instead of acting maturely and pointing out the fact that how it is NOT like it and how they have failed or simply ignoring such balderdash, muslims kept screaming that how the whole world is conspiring to destroy muslims and so forth. it might be true, but haven't you heard of the hadith: 'islam will be triumphant and none shall subdue it'?

    we are humiliated, we suffer and we are overcome because we are not true mu'mins. but isn't it also necessary to know what is happening? true. but the above information can be shared in a more responsible manner. to wit:

    'a certain wine press, has produced a book which they claim to be an alternative qur'an. as any muslim knows, the qur'an is unalterable and shall remain unchanged forever and Allah most High is its protector. this book is named 'the true furqan' and instead of the basmalah which every muslim child knows it begins with the christian belief of three-in-one gods. such pathetic attempts to hurt islam or promote christianity will surely fail and obviously muslims will not be deceived, but one needs to be aware of such subterfuges. Allah protects those whom He Will. this book is available through amazon'


    of course, i may not be articulate, but it is just a sample on how it could be done.


    ----------
    trivia: such attempts have been since the time of SaHaba; musaylama the false prophet claim to have received revelation to the woman claimant of prophethood sijaH bint suwayd:

    alam tara kayfa fa'ala bi'l Hubla
    akhraja minha nasmatun tas'aa
    min bayna Safaqin waHshaa
    wa amaata wa aHyaa
    wa ila'llahil muntahaa

    she asked, what else? he replied:
    alam tara anna'llaha khalaqana afwaaja
    wa ja'alan'nisaa'a lana azwaaja
    nuuliju fihinna eelaaja
    wa nukhriju minhunna idhaa shiyna ikhraaja.

    apparently, she laughed at it.
