About Me: اسلام عليکم Assalam O Alikum First... (and for those who don’t know its meaning, it means "Peace be upon you' and that’s why I prefer it on 'Hello' or 'Hi". As a matter of fact it is obligatory on every Muslim to greet first, and for every Muslim to reply when one greets, ~ I wonder if somebody greets me back! :P {Qur'an, An-Nisa 4:86})
About me: Its not good to praise yourself from your own mouth. Lolz that's all I want to say... ~ Kidding. Well I am trying to become a good Muslim Inshallah . And, I want to be like a mirror, something that shows what other exactly is... I am a Muslim by birth but have become or rather realized it only 2 years back. Now life has changed a lot because I see myself growing into a real Muslim. I'm proud to follow Islam the only Deen.
Me and My big mouth, it always gets me in trouble. I don’t actually know what can I write in this section, but I can write a lot. Seems I have to write that essay… "My self"
So, I am a 16 year old boy, from Lahore, a city of Pakistan. I am in the final year of IGCSE ( Edexcel - London Board). And… !!! My name is Ahsan Arshad (and it is pronounced as "Ehsan" ~ that is how you pronounce Ahsan in Urdu… its not that Ahsan of Arabic or Persian pronunciation, although the meanings are same… ) mmm, according to the documents, my name is Mohammed Ahsan, but people know me by the name 'Ahsan Arshad." I'm the eldest of my siblings :D
The problem with me is I want to meet people. I want to explore , I want to know, I want to quench my thirst of knowledge. I want , I just want it. .. Actually this is not very true, cause I cannot manage a hell lot of friends you know. But still I like to meet people :)
Hmmm boring na … you can always do something interesting like reading this: Surah/Chapter 095 - At-Tin. (The Fig, The Fig tree) Verse 4. "We have indeed created man in the best of moulds" … this is one of my favorite verses of the Noble Koran. It clearly tells that human is created in the best of its stature. It clearly denies those who make fun of some person saying that this or that person is not beautiful. Allah swt answers that every human is very beautiful. So do you doubt now? Kool na… Aint this book great!!! How about the one who revealed this book for us :):)
Hadith - Bukhari 9:651, Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri The Prophet said, "There will emerge from the East some people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not exceed their throats and who will go out of (renounce) the religion (Islam) as an arrow passes through the game, and they will never come back to it unless the arrow, comes back to the middle of the bow (by itself) (i.e., impossible)." The people asked, "What will their signs be?" He said, "Their sign will be the habit of shaving (of their beards)." (Fateh Al-Bari, Page 322, Vol. 17th)
Lol, no I am not trying to scare you.... I have recently grown beard, so thought of sharing this with you. Well, it is not very mature yet, but it is going to be!!! Actually I have special affection for those brothers who grow beard and those sisters who cover themselves properly (guard their chastity ~ read 24:30-31 of the Holy Koran/ Qur'an ), even in this MODERN AGE OF IGNORANCE.
I don’t like the people who have to say anything bad about Islam. Ah… like why don’t they believe that Islam is Peaceful. Tim McVeigh who bombed Oklahoma City Federal Building does not represent the white race, nor does he represent Christianity. Baruch Goldstein, a medical doctor from New York, went to the Al-Aqsa Mosque a few years ago and killed several Muslims worshipping there. That doctor does not represent all the Jews. Osama Bin Laden does not represent Islam. Does he??????????? The war is against terrorism, not against any religion or a religious community!
Since 9/11, according to official statistics, 212,638 Muslims in the US have been detained, arrested, raided, interrogated, investigated, fingerprinted or deported. Independent estimates and a public opinion poll suggest a number higher than half a million. Still, there is not a single terrorist which has been found among them. This is one very clean community of believers. Alhamdulillah.
And… what else… mmm let me think… yeah, about my beliefs… I think u already know what I believe but this is important too:
Some people ask me if I am a Sunni… My answer: NO
Some other people ask me if I a Shia… My answer: NO
And some other ask me if I belong to some other sect… My answer: NOOOOO
- )
That’s right… I am not a Sunni, nor a Shia. Its just that I am a Muslim… I like being a Muslim. I've been brought up in this way!!! Read: Surah/Chapter 005 - Al-Mâ'idah( The Table, The Table Spread) . Verse 3. "…This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion."
I mean why call ourselves Sunni or Shia anyways, We have a beautiful name …"MUSLIM". And I would love to be called by this name. The Holy prophet was not Sunni or Shia… he was a Muslim. An easy way to end the impure water of bidah is to publicize greatly the Sunnah of the prophet pbuh. When the pure water of the Sunnah flows the dirty water will by itself disappear.
DO READ: IF ANYONE HAS ANY PROBLEM WITH ISLAM, ISLAMIC BELEIFS OR THE PROPHET OF ISLAM OR ANYTHING SIMILAR TO IT HE/SHE CAN DISCUSS IT WITH ME. Like I should mention this on the top of my profile! And also, Any query/question is Welcome :). I would love to help … I mean ANYTHING for ISLAM :) but remember.. I am still a student, I may not able to give u the best!!!
A Message for Muslims (from the pen of my sister, no wait… not from the pen… from the keyboard of my sister :P):
"In the current times Muslims are at the front line, no others fault than our own with the media fanning the flames. The kuffar see no compatibility between the machine and system, they need to see Islam practiced otherwise they will continue to see this paradox, feel resentment and fear us for the unknown. we need to live up to the name of a Muslim and manifest within ourselves Islam"
All of us, citizens and leaders alike, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, need to work hard to make the earth a peaceful and just place to live for us and our children.
… Say, my profile can be an effective way to teach people, lolz perhaps I should prepare a lecture every week and paste it in my profile. Don't you think!!! Say, my profile is getting long… perhaps its enough, I should stop writing now :):P At least after reading my profile you'd know how expressive I am. Lol, I am only 16!!!
I am learning Inshallah. Everything mentioned in my profile is what I've learnt from people, from books, from websites and of course from orkut (means from communities and knowledgeable people on orkut), I've just reproduced the words, the message is same. I am ordinary as others are.
When a doctor inoculates a price he does not consider him self better than the prince. In the same way those who give religious talks should not consider themselves better than the listeners. Sheikh Ashra ALi rahimullah used to say whenever I advice somebody I always consider him better than me. (paragraph taken from a msg in the msn group)
P.S. Don't read the testimonials written below, they all contain wrong stuff about me... Really. Especially Mudassir's, and also brother Yahya's. They both are my fans, so they won't hesitate to write ANYTHING about me. Mudassir is very good in mixing truth and lie… I know him. :P lolz, I know my profile is long and I am sorry if someone's eyes might hurt. U can read it in episodes lolzzz. Actually I haven't written anything about me lolzzzz, this section was supposed to be 'about me'
026.083: "O my Lord! bestow wisdom on me, and join me with
the righteous;
026.085 And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Delight," (THE HOLY QUR'AN) - I like these verses, they were mentioned at the end of islam4all yahoo group's msg. you would not mind to say Amen would you!!!
Amen
This was once my Orkut Profile:

hmmm stupid me, why am I writing this in passions lol??? Anyways.. i just wanted people to read this specially... So now that you've read, does it matter if i am writing it in my passions or somewhere else?? :P Actually har aik cheez 'about me' main likh likh ke thak gaya tha… ;) I am actually free right now, so thought of keeping myself busy by wasting time on my profile. So now u know that one of my "passions" is keeping my self busy ;)

(Qur'an, 2:256: "Let there be no compulsion in religion: *TRUTH* stands out clear from Error" - Bible, John 8:32 "And ye shall know THE *TRUTH,* and the truth shall set you free.")
And of course… the thick, old and boring books of my course!!! ( i.e. IGCSE or should I say O'Levels; but its not actually O'Levels ) Man, they're difficult. Can somebody teach me please… specially Mathematics!!! Oh God, from where do the get the idea of these DIFFICULT questions… hoooh.

And most of the books/articles I've read are usually e-books. Most articles are from the followinf websites or msn/ yahoo groups:
>www.islam101.com (Founder: Ishaq Zahid) >www.shariahway.com (Founder: Abu Obadiah) >www.answering-christianity.com (Founder: Osama bin Abdullah) >www.irf.net (founder: Zakir Naik)
Also I've joined some Islamic groups on msn and yahoo, like Islam is Universal, Islam4all, Sabr, World of Islam and young Muslims etc. ( oh yar bas bhi ker do meri profile padhna… like go and do your work :P)
music:
Left … Alhamdulillah only at his young age of 16 :)
Its only precussions for me now. And I don’t know why do they say Music is the food of soul ;)
tv shows: A LOTTTTTTTTTTTTT, but I don’t get time to watch any of'em. I like to watch Discovery or National Geographic Channel or some Islamic program is preferable. And incase nothing is on… Cartoons. (c'mon don't laugh, there are people elder then me who still like Cartoons. :P) I like Dexter, because I like science:) I also liked Johnny Quest, but they're no more telecasted. :(… and a lot moreeeeeeeeeeeeeee
movies: 'The Message' is good , or may be some other good enough movies such as "Vertical limit", "twister" or something like that otherwise I don’t have time to waste on romantic Movies. Those movies which enhance knowledge are good enough. In like Star Wars and other (science/) fiction movies. Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Core, Lord of the Rings, Batman, X-men etc, … these are few I like the most. And I also love Cartoon movies… The Lion King, Madagascar, Batman, Scooby doo etc.. They're kooooooooooool… :) Ah.. Like I hate Indian movies... except a few.
cuisines: Mmmm never thought of it… My mom's the best cook, cause she cooks from what my dad earns from the sweat of his brow ( for people who don’t know... it is a hadith)
mmm basically I eat everything… but I like vegetables most. People say I am a vegetarian, but I am not. I only eat chicken when my mom roasts it and fish when my dad cooks it… yummy. Otherwise… its vegetables for me.
