If you haven’t read the new book by the Thinking Moms’ Revolution (TMR), buy it now. As in today.

I got my long-awaited copy last week. I couldn’t put it down. I cried as I relived so many memories of my grandson Jake’s regression into autism after the rabies vaccine almost seven years ago. Wow. Seven years. I can’t believe it’s been that long. It felt like it was happening all over again while I was reading the stories of other families who went through the same pain. The same heartache. The same panic. The same sense of hopelessness. The same … everything.

Like thousands of other stories about vaccine-injured children who have autism and a myriad of other disorders, many of the kids in TMR’s new book had a lot in common. They were developing normally. Then, everything changed—usually after a vaccine. Their lives came to a screeching halt as they became sick and lost skills they once had. They suffered with painful, sometimes debilitating GI problems and sensory issues. They couldn’t communicate their basic needs. They couldn’t sleep. They couldn’t understand what was happening to them. Why they had to go through so many medical tests and treatments. Why their families were falling apart.

The parents also shared much in common. They suffered too, right along with their kids. They cried for them. For all the things most kids took for granted that their kids couldn’t do. For the complete loss of an even remotely normal life. Like watching their children have play dates. Going to a restaurant—or anywhere—without a meltdown. Or dropping their kids off at school and not being in agony all day wondering if they were going to have a seizure or wander off or be thrown out of school because nobody could deal with their behavior. They watched their spouses and other children suffer as they gave everything they had, including their time, energy, and money, to the sick child. They also suffered guilt. They wished they had not succumbed to their doctors’ pressure to get the vaccines. They wished they had not ignored the nagging doubts, that little voice that told them the vaccines couldn’t be safe.

But they didn’t stay there for long. They did everything possible to bring their kids back. To recover them. They tried therapy after therapy. They found support among other families going through the same thing. They pulled themselves up out of the blackest despair a family could go through and looked forward to the future. To healing their children. To tell others what vaccines did to them. To talk and write about their experiences so they could save other families from their pain. And they never gave up. Because giving up was not an option.

Every time their kids went through a regression, a piece of them died. Every time they took a step forward, no matter how small, they celebrated. They learned to focus on the positive and not dwell on the negative. They found comfort and strength and empowerment through others who were living their lives. They united in the strongest cause in the world. Saving their children.

They started a revolution. No amount of money or power that the pharmaceutical companies or doctors or government agencies or anyone else profiting from vaccines think they have can begin to compete with their cause. Ever.

They are not going away. They are not going to stop until the truth about vaccines comes out and is no longer up for debate. They will never quit.

Think About It — What Happened to These Children?

Think about it. There’s that word again. Think.

It’s simple. They were injured by the toxins in the vaccines.

Every single drug that is currently on the market or has ever been on the market can have side effects. How can this not also be true for vaccines? You can’t tell me that what is safe for one kid is safe for all kids. Everyone can’t take the same medicines. There are allergies, sensitivities, already-compromised immune systems to consider. How is it possible for vaccines, which are injected into our children’s bodies, to not have any serious side effects? Think about what’s in vaccines. Mercury, a known toxin. Along with aborted fetal cells (which means DNA), cow and monkey cells, yeast, sorbitol, gelatin, sodium chloride, egg protein, antibiotics like neomycin and gentamicin, etc., etc., etc.

Here are a few problems these children suffered:

  • “the most miserable baby, always crying and throwing temper tantrums”
  • “ear infections, random skin rashes, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting”
  • “withdrew into his own world”
  • “lost most of his forty words, stopped making eye contact, stopped playing and laughing, … developed a fascination with spinning objects, lost interest in the world around him”
  • “constant fevers, … yeast and bacterial infections”
  • “would run endlessly back and forth in a line”
  • “her beautiful babble descended into silence and morphed into a low guttural hum”
  • “at the doctor’s constantly for colds, coughs, or sores”
  • “a fever of 102, sometimes 104”
  • “stopped babbling, stopped saying mama and dada, lost all eye contact, and stopped smiling”
  • “wouldn’t respond to his name at all”
  • “would scream loudly and throw himself on the floor, slamming his head so hard that he bruised it”
  • “just spinning the wheels on the toy cars he used to play with”
  • “body was covered from head to toe, front to back, in a rash, and he was crying inconsolably”
  • “He was slow to talk, very late to walk, ended up losing what little speech he had, and struggled to make cognitive, social, and emotional gains.”
  • “morphed from a fat, happy baby to a detached and hyperactive preschooler”
  • “He started walking on his toes, flapping his hands, shaking his head from side to side, looking at things out of the corner of his eyes, spinning nonstop … and not talking.”
  • “He was sinking into his own world.”
  • “She had auditory and visual processing disorders, causing her to cry out in agony over certain noises and lights. She slept badly. She was hyperactive and frequently mouthed and licked things.”
  • “bit everyone in sight”
  • “He was easily overwhelmed and couldn’t handle chaos well. Transitioning from place to place might or might not bring a complete meltdown.”
  • “He wouldn’t do the same preschool ‘work’ that his peers were doing. There was little interaction with other children. He didn’t answer questions appropriately or look you in the eye.”
  • “He cried all day long and projectile-vomited every ounce of formula we gave him.”
  • “He stopped gaining weight, and he stopped growing at the rate he should have been. … He had very small appetite.”
  • “would walk around repeating pages out of the book”
  • “He would transition for a few seconds into maniacal laughter, but then, seamlessly and without a breath, he would go back to crying, as if in pain.”
  • “I had to sit on him to brush his teeth, to cut his nails, and to get him into his car seat.”

I think these kids sound sick. Very sick.

Think About It — What Made Them Better?

That’s simple too. In many instances, they were detoxed. They were treated medically, and they improved. That’s because autism is a medical disorder. It affects the whole body. When you treat the whole body, amazing things can happen. It can vary from child to child—not only do all kids not react the same way to a vaccine or any other drug, they don’t all react the same way to treatments and therapies. These children are proof of that. And they are proof that vaccines can make some children very sick. Vaccines can give some children autism. Simple.

Their parents tried the following:

  • homeopathy
  • hyperbaric chamber therapy
  • ABA
  • Son-Rise
  • gluten free/casein free diet
  • speech, physical, and occupational therapy
  • chelation
  • Floortime
  • vitamins, supplements, enzymes
  • chiropractic adjustments
  • glutathione
  • MB12 shots
  • antivirals, antifungals, antibiotics
  • AIT
  • vision therapy
  • acupressure

And now, here are the same kids I described earlier.

  • “… she was feeding her baby dolls and lovingly putting them to bed; she was putting her ‘little people’ down the slide while gleefully exclaiming, ‘Weee!’”
  • “My two beautiful, sweet, funny boys love to play together, love their family and friends, and are getting healthier day by day.”
  • “Potty training. Handwriting. Math. Learning letter sounds over and over again until a few words started to emerge. Playing catch. Taking shoes off. Putting clothes on. Brushing teeth.”
  • “We had a play date at our house recently with four children he’d never met before, all around his age and all playing with his toys.”
  • “a great storyteller with a wicked command of idiomatic expressions and is astoundingly good at putting difficult concepts into words”
  • “… made huge strides. He discovered his baby sister. He’s insatiably curious about the world he lives in. He asks questions about everyone and everything, as if all this time he’d been locked behind doors.”
  • “Now, I am more likely to sit with Nick face to face, trying to teach him how to put the shoes on himself, and we might share a giggle.”
  • “Mei loves her new school and teachers and has already made many friends in class. She is enjoying all of her new lessons and is more than capable of keeping up with her schoolwork and her classmates.”
  • “My son is on a soccer team with his brother and neurotypical kids. He is in cub scouts.”
  • “… we haven’t experienced one tantrum. … He will now hold our hand and allow us to take him from room to room. … Last week, he started pointing to things and verbablizing more.”
  • “He is a sweet little boy who loves toys, his siblings, and learning. He is no longer in pain and is no longer constipated. He can sit in restaurants, behaves properly in stores, and is great on an airplane. … Every day Harry is more ‘with it’ and more ‘in it’ than he was the day before.”
  • “He is sweet as pie, and when he gets in trouble, he is truly worried about it. He’s constantly creating things … He is great at math and well liked in his class.”
  • “My oldest son will be nine this month and is very close to recovery.”

I think these kids are recovering.

But wait. If you have a child who has recovered or is still recovering from autism—because recovery is a process—your doctor will tell you he never had autism to begin with. After all, he couldn’t have had autism. Because nobody recovers from autism. Right? WRONG!!!

Think about it. When your child was diagnosed after a vaccine, the same doctor probably told you the vaccine didn’t cause autism, that it was there all along, and you just didn’t notice it. Nobody did. You, your child’s teachers, your family. Nobody. But now that your child is on the road to recovery, he no longer had it to begin with. Think about it. They can’t have it both ways. They keep trying, and they have convinced a lot of people so far. But that is changing. Their days of basking in their money and power are coming to an end.

Think About It — How Can You Help?

Join the revolution.

Don’t shut up. Tell your story.

Ask questions. Read, read, read. Talk with other parents.

Go with your gut. A mother’s instinct is powerful. Follow it. When a nagging voice tells you something doesn’t sound right, something is wrong, listen to it.

What happened to these and so many other children didn’t have to happen. They should never have endured what they have endured. Don’t let it happen to anyone you know. Just … THINK.

(NaturalNews) More and more parents are just saying “no” to the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, according to a new study by the Mayo Clinic. In fact, the researchers who conducted the study, which involved analyzing vaccination data for teens ages 13 to 17 in the 2008-10 National Immunization Survey of Teens, found that more than two in five parents surveyed believe the HPV vaccine is unnecessary and an increasing growing number of them express worry about potential side effects.

The findings, just published in the new issue of the journal Pediatrics, reveal that five years ago, 40 percent of parents surveyed said they wouldn’t vaccinate their girls against HPV– despite the fact doctors are increasingly pushing these vaccinations. By 2009, that figure had increased a little — up to 41 percent. However, by 2010, a full 44 percent of parents said they would not have their daughters vaccinated against HPV.

Parents’ concern about the safety of the HPV vaccine rose from five percent in 2008 to 16 percent in 2010. Among the reasons parents gave for nixing the vaccine: their doctor didn’t recommend it; a lack of knowledge about the vaccine; a belief the vaccination is unnecessary; a concern that the vaccine is inappropriate for the child’s age; worry about safety/side effects; and the fact they believe their child isn’t sexually active.

“That’s the opposite direction that rate should be going,” senior researcher Robert Jacobson, M.D., a pediatrician with the Mayo Clinic Children’s Center, said in a press statement. He claimed that studies have found the HPV vaccine is safe for teens – and he said that the vaccine will prevent cervical cancer and other genital cancers by preventing the HPV infections that lead to those cancers.

Let’s analyze those claims.

There was no mention of a huge study of 200,0000 published last year in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, which concluded that although the HPV vaccine, sold as Gardasil, is “generally” safe, it increases the risk of fainting and skin infections. Another study published in theCanadian Medical Association Journal found that the rate of allergic reactions to the HPV vaccine – including life-threatening anaphylaxis — was higher than the rates for other vaccines given at schools, including those for hepatitis B, diphtheria, measles, mumps and the flu. Overall, the rate of allergic reactions to HPV was five times to 20 times as high as the rates for the other vaccines.

The argument for the vaccine is that it is needed to prevent cervical cancer – as if there is little other alternative because HPV infections, which cause genital warts, are so widespread. What is rarely mentioned, or mentioned only in passing, is that HPV is usually cleared naturally in the body over time. Even Jacobsen noted in the media statement: “While most HPV infections clear, a percentage linger and start the process of cancerous changes.”

Another fact rarely mentioned is that the HPV vaccination only protects against about a third of the known cancer-triggering HPV strains. TheNational Cancer Institute (NCI) notes there are about 12 high-risk HPV types and states “although HPV infection is very common, most infections will be suppressed by the immune system within one to two years without causing cancer.”

What’s more, infection with HPV isn’t an automatic sign cancer will develop. In fact, odds are it won’t – especially with common sense preventive care.

While it is true that if a cervical infection with a high-risk HPV type persists, the cellular changes can eventually develop into precancerous lesions that can lead to cancer if not treated, the NCI notes it “can take 10 to 20 years or more for a persistent infection with a high-risk HPV type to develop into cancer” and routine Pap tests can catch almost all cancerous changes which can then be simply treated.

The BBC reports:

SAUDI CLERIC FAVOURS

ONE-EYE VEIL

A Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia has called on women to wear a full veil, or niqab, that reveals only one eye. Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan said showing both eyes encouraged women to use eye make-up to look seductive.

The question of how much of her face a woman should cover is a controversial topic in many Muslim societies.

Sheikh Habadan, an ultra-conservative cleric who is said to have wide influence among religious Saudis, was answering questions on the Muslim satellite channel al-Majd.”

What the Shaikh says and is promoting was the system of Hijaab which the ladies of the Sahaabah used to observe. Explaining the Niqaab system, Ali Bin Ali Talhah narrates that Ibn Abbaas said: “Allah ordered the women of the Mu’mineen that when they emerge from their home for a need, they should cover their faces from ontop of their heads with the jalaabeeb and leave exposed one eye.”

“Women emerged (during the time of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) with niqaabs on their faces.” (Imaam Ghazaali)

There is no controversy regarding this fact which is substantiated by authentic Ahaadith. It has become a controversial topic in the ranks of the zindeeqs of the age. There is no scope in the Shariah for entertaining the baseless ideas of zindeeqs.

Where do pious women perform their salaat?

THE FIRST FATWA OF DAARUL ULOOM DEOBAND
(number 680)

 
Question:

What is the Shar`i ruling regarding women
performing Salaat in the Masjid with congregation? Is it
permissible or not? Or do the Ulama-e-Kiraam merely prohibit
it because of some cogent or underlying reason? Kindly furnish
us with a detailed reply. Was Salaam

 
Reply (no. 527):

Bismillahir Rahmaan nir Raheem
(1). The wife of Hadhrat Abu Humaid Sa`idi (radhiallahu
anhu), Hadhrat Umme Humaid (radhiallahu anha) came in the
presence of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and asked, “O
Rasulullaah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)! I desire to perform
Salaat behind you (in congregation) in the Masjid (-e-
Nabawi).”
Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) replied, “You desire to
perform Salaat behind me, whereas your Salaat in the
innermost corner of your home is better than your Salaat in
your room, and your Salaat in your room is better than your
Salaat in your courtyard and your Salaat in your courtyard is
better than your Salaat in the Masjid of your village and your
Salaat in your local Masjid is better than your Salaat in my
Masjid (i.e. Masjid-e-Nabawi).”
Thereafter she made herself a place for performing her Salaat in
the darkest and innermost corner of her home. [Ahmad / Ibn
Hibbaan / Ibn Khuzaima / Targheeb wa Tarheeb, page 58]

 

6
(2). Hadhrat Umme Salma (radhiallahu anha) reports that
Rasulullaah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, “A woman’s
Salaat in the inner most corner of her house is better than her
Salaat performed in her room and it is better for her to read in
her room than in her veranda and it is better for her to read
Salaat in her house than in her local Masjid.” [Ibid]
(3). Hadhrat Aaishah (radhiallahu anha) reports that if
Rasulullaah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had seen the condition
of the women after his passing away then he would surely have
prevented them from attending the Masjid just as the women of
Bani Israeel were prevented from entering the Masjid. [Muslim
Shareef, vol.1 page 183]
(4). Hadhrat Abu Amr Shaibaani (rahmatullahi alaih) reports
that he personally witnessed Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Mas’ood
(radhiallahu anhu) ejecting women from the Masjid on the day
of Jumu’ah, saying to them, “You people go and read Salaat in
your homes. Your Salaat performed at home is better for you.”
[Tibraani / Majmauz Zawahid, vol.1 page 156]
All four of the above narrations are authentic and it is clear
from them that although the reward of performing Salaat in
Masjid-e-Nabawi is fifty thousand times greater, the Salaat of a
woman performed in her local Masjid warrants greater reward
for her, and her salaah performed in her own home is more
rewarding than even this. Furthermore, her Salaat which she
performs in the innermost corner of her house bears more
reward for her than that Salaat which is performed in the
veranda or any room in her house.

Broken marriages: Jamiatul Ulama Gauteng’s appeal for Allah’s sake…
Assalamu-Aalykum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
In the Name of Allah, we issue this heartfelt plea to every Muslim husband, Muslim wife, Muslim parent and Muslim in-law.
The tsunami of broken marriages littering the shores of our communities, has reached tragic proportions. Each broken marriage leaves behind it a devastating legacy of hatred, enmity, traumatized kids and bitterly split families. Slandering, gossiping, story carrying, character assassination, court cases and at times, even violence is resorted in order to prevail upon the adversary which was just yesterday fawned over.
Upon reflection, the following reasons can be identi-fied for this pathetic and wretched state of affairs of our society.
1) Ignorance of what an Islamic marriage entails. Thus we find tens of thousands of rands being spent and months of preparations being made for the wedding. However, very, very little time is spent to learn the necessary laws and etiquettes of mar-riage. Despite the fact that the glittering wedding will come to an end and that the couple will need all the knowledge to navigate the ship of marriage through rough seas.
2) Despite having knowledge, there is a lack of self-control. We can purchase books and attend lec-tures, but until there is no inner willingness to change, we will not benefit much.
3) Lack of Yaqeen in the advices and solutions which have been given by Allah Ta’ala and His beloved Nabi Salallahu alaihi wasallam. This here is perhaps the saddest aspect of the current tragedy. A wealth of advice has been given to us by our beloved Nabi Salallahu layhi wasallam in order to guide the Um-mah to marital bliss. We ignore these gems and search for pebbles elsewhere and are thus left frus-trated.
We have, Alhamdulillah, extensively quoted the golden advices of Nabi Salallahu alaihi wasallam, hoping upon hope that somewhere, someone’s mar-riage could be saved.
Islam is a system and systems operate on rules and regulations. The rules and regulations in Islam are known as The Shariah. The more intricate a matter, the greater the need for detailed rules and regula-tions. To this extent, we have cited many Islamic Rulings from the internationally acclaimed Behesti Zewar compiled by Hadhrat Moulana Thanvi Rah-matullahi alayh. The information contained in this tabloid is merely a guideline.
In conclusion, for the sake of Allah, we plead to one and all not to allow ourselves to be misled by Shay-taan who is most pleased when that Nikaah which was bonded in the Name of Allah, in the House of Allah and under the banner of the Sunnah is shred-ded to pieces. We also humbly urge our readers to study and pass this issue onto others. So often do people get married without realizing the immense responsibility that goes along with it until it’s too late…May Allah guide one and all. (Ameen)

Iddit for women

 

Q: What is the iddit for older woman?

 

A: In the case of talaaq, the ‘iddat of a women who experiences haidh is the passing of three haidh.

In the case of the husband passing away, the ‘iddat of a woman experiencing haidh will be four months and ten days .

This law applies in the case where the husband passes away on the first of the lunar month. If he passes away during the month (i.e. on the second day of the month or any time thereafter), the ‘iddat will be one hundred and thirty days.

If the wife is pregnant, the iddat will be upon the delivery of the child in both cases (talaaq or husband passing away).

The ‘iddat of a women who does not experience haidh (e.g. an old woman experiencing menopause) is the passing of three lunar months in the case of talaaq and four lunar months and ten days in the case where the husband passes away.

This law applies in the case where the husband passes away on the first of the lunar month. If he passes away during the month (i.e. on the second day of the month or any time thereafter), the ‘iddat will be ninety days in the case of talaaq and one hundred and thirty days in the case of the husband passing away.

And Allah Ta’ala knows best.

إذا وجبت العدة بالشهور في الطلاق والوفاة فإن اتفق ذلك في غرة الشهر اعتبرت الشهور بالأهلة وإن نقص العدد عن ثلاثين يوما وإن اتفق ذلك في خلاله فعند أبي حنيفة رحمه الله تعالى وإحدى الروايتين عن أبي يوسف رحمه الله تعالى يعتبر في ذلك عدد الأيام تسعون يوما في الطلاق وفي الوفاة يعتبر مائة وثلاثون يوما كذا في المحيط (الفتاوى الهندية 1/527)

والمطلقات يتربصن بأنفسهن ثلاثة قروء (سورة البقرة الآية 228)

(وهي في) حق (الحرة) … (تحيض لطلاق) ولو رجعيا (أوفسخ بجميع أسبابه … (بعد الدخول حقيقة أو حكما) … (ثلاث حيض كوامل) لعدم تجزي الحيضة(الدر المجتار 3/504-505)

(و ) العدة ( للموت أربعة أشهر ) بالأهلة لو في الغرة كما مر ( وعشرة ) من الأيام بشرط بقاء النكاح صحيحا إلى الموت ( مطلقا ) وطئت أو لا ولو صغيرة أو كتابية تحت مسلم ولو عبدا فلم يخرج عنها إلا الحامل (الدر المختار 3/510)

والعدة لمن لم تحض لصغر أو كبر أو بلغت بالسن ولم تحض ثلاثة أشهر كذا في النقاية (الفتاوى الهندية 1/526)

وعدة الحامل أن تضع حملها كذا في الكافي … وسواء كانت عن طلاق أو وفاة أو متاركة أو وطء بشبهة كذا في النهر الفائق (الفتاوى الهندية 1/528)

It is reported from Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu) that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) while addressing his Mubarak wives on the occasion of Hajjatul Wadaa said: “After this (the rites of Hajj) remain in your homes (i.e. do not leave your homes without a valid need).” Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu) mentions that it was on account of this statement of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) that Hadhrat Zainab binte Jahsh and Saudah (radhiyallahu anhuma) never left their homes for even nafl Hajj (though the other Azwaaj-e-Mutahharaat performed nafl Hajj). Hadhrat Zainab and Saudah (radhiyallahu anhuma) would say: “After hearing this from Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), we never mounted a conveyance thereafter.”

To the Muslim wife…
Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
The spiritual core of the Muslim ummah is rotting and the decay is manifesting itself in many different ways none more evident than the breakdown of relationships between Muslim families. Violation of spousal rights and even downright physical and emotional abuse is on the rise and may Allah (SWT) protect all of us and our families (Ameen).
Muslim husbands of course have responsibilities but our daughters also need to be spoken to as the degradation of relationships isn’t only down to Men!
Superiority of Men: My daughter, Allah (SWT) has given your husband superiority to you in clear, unambiguous words and if you try to take even equal footing (let alone superiority) know that you are arguing and fighting against a command of Allah (SWT) and not your husband and as long as you are fully and rationally willing to accept the consequences of taking what comes your way when you oppose Allah (SWT), there isn’t anything anyone else can do.
[4:34] Men are caretakers of women, since Allah has made some of them excel the others, and because of the wealth they have spent. So, the righteous women are obedient, (and) guard (the property and honor of their husbands) in (their) absence with the protection given by Allah. As for women of whom you fear rebellion, convince them, and leave them apart in beds, and beat them. Then, if they obey you, do not seek a way against them. Surely, Allah is the Highest, the Greatest.
Know that there is no classical Scholar of Qur’aan, Hadeeth or Fiqh who has EVER given a Fatwa or an opinion that women are equal to men! So next time when you are browsing the Internet and come across an article or youtube video proclaiming anything otherwise then know that it is BASELESS!
Serving the Husband: My daughter, your foremost duty is to serve your husband and look after the needs of your household after fulfilling the obligations (prayer, fasting etc) of Islam in absolute service to your husband. Your duty is not Dawah, not blogging, not maintaining web sites, counselling other Muslim women and if your husband allows this or your service to him isn’t affected by doing Islamic propagation then so be it.
But be under no illusion that your primary duty is to serve your husband.
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “If I were to order anyone to prostrate himself before another, I would have ordered a woman to prostrate herself before her husband”. [At-Tirmidhi]
Responding to the husband sexually: My daughter, it is your Islamic duty to respond to your husband when he calls you to bed. If you have a baby or children then ensure that your husband has a chance of privacy with you and don’t wreck your relationship on account of your children and looking after them and putting them in the bed besides you etc.
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “When a man calls his wife to his bed, and she does not respond and he (the husband) spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning”. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Husband: Your Gateway to paradise: Your husband is your gateway to paradise and not your optional worship and Islamic activities and knowledge. If your husband is pleased then Insha’Allah you have a ticket to paradise so in fact you have it pretty easy if you chose to conform with the commands of Allah (SWT) & His Rasool (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam)
Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “Any woman dies while her husband is pleased with her, she will enter Jannah”. [At-Tirmidhi].
Violence & Abuse: No one is suggesting that you need to put up with physical violence or abuse and in those circumstances refer the matter to Ulamah who can advise you on the matter and offer correct Islamic guidance.
Unfulfilled & incomplete Relationships : Again you need to refer the matter to Ulama who can advise you on the matter and offer correct Islamic guidance and if you are patient then you will be rewarded and if you continue to look after your family and your husband when your rights are not being granted then know that Allah (SWT) is with those who are patient and Insha’Allah your rewards will become apparent the minute your eyes are closed. Be pleased with your Taqdeer (destiny) and know that this world is a place of test and Allah (SWT) is testing you to raise your ranks on the day of judgement.
Did you think your life will turn out to be a Bollywood Love Story? My daughter, you are a believer and you have been put on this Earth to be tested. If you thought that a handsome young man with ample finances will wish you away and shed his blood on every post your tear falls then wake up to reality! Allah (SWT) is Haakim and he chooses for his servants what he wills. Maybe some of your friends have a loving husband, healthy children, big house and you may be missing some of things because Allah (SWT) wants to test you.
[29:2] Do people think that they will be left (at ease) only on their saying, .We believe. and will not be put to any test? [29:3] Indeed We have tested those who were before them. So Allah will surely know the ones who are truthful, and He will surely know the liars.
There were better, prettier and more intelligent women before you who were tested and know that you are being testing because Allah (SWT) loves you and desires good for you!
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “When Allah desires good for someone, He tries him with hardships.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî]
My daughter, the best of the prophets were tested and even our beloved Nabi (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) was tested so know that they weren’t tested because they were hated but they were tested because they were beloved and the closer a person gets to Allah (SWT) and to our beloved Nabi (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) by following his Sunnah the more you will be tested.
YOU are superior to the Hoors of paradise! It’s the favourite pastime of men to discuss and talk about the Hoors of Jannah and bedazzled by their beauty and their sincere and devoted love for them but did you know that YOU are superior to those Hoors which men aspire to?
Umm Salamah (May Allah Be Pleased With Her) narrated that she asked the Messenger of Allah, ‘ O Allah’s Apostle, are the women of this world superior to the hoor of jannah?’ He replied, (Salahuaalyhi wasalam) ‘ The women of this world will have superiority over the hoors just as the outer lining of a garment has superiority over the inner lining. Umm Salamah then asked, ‘ O Allah’s Apostle, what is the reason for this?’ He answered, ‘ Because they performed salah, fasted and worshipped [Allah]. Allah will put light on their faces and silk on their bodies. [The human women] will be fair in complexion and will wear green clothing and yellow jewellery. Their incense – burners will be made of pearls and their combs will be of gold. They will never die. We are the women who will always remain in comfort and we will never leave. Listen, we are happy women and we will never become sad. Glad tidings to those men for whom we are and who are for us. (Tabarani)
YOU will PROUDLY PROCLAIM your superiority to Hoors of paradise! Insha’Allah if you are patient with your Taqdeer and look after your husband and your family YOU will one day respond to the Hoors and proclaim your SUPERIORITY to them.
Imam Qurtubi in his “at-Tadhkirah fi-Ahwalil Mawta wa’l-Akhirah (in Remembrance of the Affairs of the Dead and Doomsday)” and Ibn Kathir in his “al-Bidaya wa’n-Nihaya (Kitabu’l- Fitan wa’l-Malahim) the Termination of the Afflictions and Fierce Battles” tell the story of the songs of houri in heaven: “Houri will sing for their own husbands, songs are so marvelous that every hearer will be so pleased. Houri will say: “We are Houri who has not had a sin.
” The women of this world will reply them saying: “We are the fasters (who keep fast), and you are not, we are the prayers, but you are not and we are the givers of charity but you are not.” And there is another narration which is famous with the name “Hadith of Soor” narrated from Abu Hurayrah (R.A.) that the Prophet Muhammad said that: “Every man in heaven will go to 72 of the creatures of Allah (houris) and 2 of the women of mankind, these two women are superior to the creatures of Allah (houris) with their worshipping (good deeds) they had performed in this world.”
Decision Time? Now that you have read about your rank in paradise, its time to make a decision. You can serve your husband and overlook his mistakes and errors in providing you with your rights and accept his authority , be pleased with what Allah (SWT) has destined for you and then attain a rank in paradise superior to Hoors
OR
You can assert your superiority, demand equal treatment, step out in the world to earn your place, busy yourself in Dawah etc and jeopardise your afterlife.
The choice is yours.

Shock study: Mammograms a medical hoax, over one million American women maimed by unnecessary ‘treatment’ for cancer they never had

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) Mammography is a cruel medical hoax. As I have described here on Natural News many times, the primary purpose of mammography is not to “save” women from cancer, but to recruit women into false positives that scare them into expensive, toxic treatments like chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

The “dirty little secret” of the cancer industry is that the very same oncologists who scare women into falsely believing they have breast cancer are also the ones pocketing huge profits from selling those women chemotherapy drugs. The conflicts of interest and abandonment of ethics across the cancer industry is breathtaking.

Now, a new scientific study has confirmed exactly what I’ve been warning readers about for years: most women “diagnosed” with breast cancer via mammography never had a cancer problem to begin with!

93% of “early detection” has no benefit to the patient

That’s the conclusion of a groundbreaking new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

“We found that the introduction of screening has been associated with about 1.5 million additional women receiving a diagnosis of early stage breast cancer,” writes study co-author Dr. Gilbert Welch.

Now, at first, you might think that’s a good thing. You might think, “Well, early detection saves lives, just like we’ve been told by Komen and thecancer non-profits.”

But you’d be wrong. As Dr. Welch’s team discovered, there was virtually no reduction in late-stage breast cancer from all this “early” diagnosis, meaning that most women who were told they had breast cancer after a mammogram were being lied to.

As he explains:

We found that there were only around 0.1 million fewer women with a diagnosis of late-stage breast cancer. This discrepancy means there was a lot of overdiagnosis: more than a million women who were told they had early stage cancer — most of whom underwent surgery, chemotherapy or radiation — for a “cancer” that was never going to make them sick. Although it’s impossible to know which women these are, that’s some pretty serious harm.

Yep, it is. In fact, if you do the math and calculate 0.1 million fewer women with advanced-stage cancer out of 1.5 million who were diagnosed,93% of the “early detection” cancer cases studied were false positives, meaning that they would never have gone on to cause advanced-stage cancer anyway.

Chemo, radiation, cancer surgery largely a hoax

According to these scientists, “Breast cancer was overdiagnosed (i.e., tumors were detected on screening that would never have led to clinical symptoms) in 1.3 million U.S. women in the past 30 years.”

That’s 1.3 million women who were told by their lying oncologists: “If you don’t agree to treatment, you’ll be dead in six months” (or two years, or whatever fraudulent scare schedule they use).

Under the threat of this fear, most women cave in and agree to start “treatment” — often on the very same day they are falsely diagnosed. This so-called “treatment” consists of a highly toxic injection of deadly chemicals that the oncologist makes a small fortune selling to the very same patients he falsely diagnosed. Yep, that’s right: Cancer clinics and oncology treatment centers make huge profits on the chemotherapy drugs they sell to patients – the very same patients they scared into treatment through a false positive mammogram.

Despite the near-total failure of mammography from a scientific point of view, the propaganda push for mammography is downright deafening. As Dr. Welch explains in his New York Times article:

…No other medical test has been as aggressively promoted as mammograms — efforts that have gone beyond persuasion to guilt and even coercion (“I can’t be your doctor if you don’t get one”). And proponents have used the most misleading screening statistic there is: survival rates. A recent Komen foundation campaign typifies the approach: In short, tell everyone they have cancer, and survival will [statistically] skyrocket.

Komen for the Cure, of course, has been caught blatantly lying about the supposed “benefits” of mammography. Their statistical deception fools most women, sadly, convincing them to undergo toxic chemotherapy for a “breast cancer” they never really had.

The quackery of modern oncology

Once women begin the chemotherapy for a cancer they don’t even have, they begin to experience what the quack oncologist calls “symptoms of cancer.” Their hair falls out. They lose their appetite. Their muscles atrophy. They become weak, mentally confused and chronically fatigued. The cancer doctor then tells the woman, “You must be strong to pull through this while the medicine is working.”

Pure quackery! You could do much better invoking voodoo or even just wishing to be cured. Because everything about the cancer experience in modern medicine — the diagnosis, the “treatment,” the medical authority — is utterly and maliciously fabricated for the purpose of generatingcancer industry profits.

“Better” technology leads to more false positives

There is no more apparent example of modern-day medical quackery than the cancer industry. Armed with ever-more-precise mammography machines, the rate of false positive diagnoses has shot through the roof.

As Dr. Welch writes in the New York Times:

Six years ago, a long-term follow-up of a randomized trial showed that about one-quarter of cancers detected by screening were overdiagnosed. And this study reflected mammograms as used in the 1980s. Newer digital mammograms detect a lot more abnormalities, and the estimates of overdiagnosis have risen commensurately: now somewhere between a third and half of screen-detected cancers.

Got that? Many cancer diagnoses from mammography are utterly false. But they are a great scare tactic for recruiting women into what can only be called a “cult of cancer” in which they are manipulated into poisoning themselves with chemicals. They are later called “cancer survivors” if the poison doesn’t manage to kill them.

These cancer survivors are, of course, victims of a malicious medical cult that I call “the Cult of Komen.” In nearly all cases, it wasn’t the cancer that nearly killed them… it was the treatment!

The cult of Komen

Modern day people sneer and snort at the Jim Jones mass suicide cult of 1978, thinking, “How could those cult members be so stupid to poison themselves to death?”

Look around, folks, because the cancer industry has taken the Jim Jones formula and multiplied it by a factor of a million. The “Cult of Komen” is the modern-day Jim Jones “suicide cult.” It’s a cult where people “believe” in the promise of salvation through chemical indoctrination, but what’s actually delivered to them is rotting death, pain, suffering and humiliation. (Many cancer surgeons operating today literally slice off women’s breasts following a false positive cancer diagnosis, maiming her for life.)

One of the earmarks of this cult is the worship of self-mutilation. It’s not just the women who are manipulated into having their breasts sliced off by surgeons; it’s also the women who are manipulated into being injected with deadly poisons that destroy their kidneys, livers and brains. The No. 1 side effect of chemotherapy, by the way, is cancer.

Like any cult, the cancer industry cult pushes its delusions with emotionally-charged propaganda and powerful symbols (pink ribbons). Millions of women get innocently swept up into the “run for the cure,” apparently clueless to the fact that most of that “cure” money goes to pay for more mammograms that result in more false diagnoses which ensnare yet more women into the same victimization racket.

Thus, the very women who participate in raising money for these pink ribbon cult worship-fests are actually paying for the mammogram machines that will recruit more women into the same cult via a quack diagnosis followed by a “campaign of fear and terror” carried out by oncologists against women. What the cancer industry is doing today is, by any measure, a crime against women. It’s also a form of cultural mutilation of women, much like we’ve seen in Aztec, Mayan and various African cultures throughout history.

Is the Cult of Komen a criminal operation? Almost certainly. Is it scientific? Not a chance. There is nothing “scientific” about the modern-day cancer industry other than the scientific manipulation of women’s fears and emotions. What Komen and the cancer industry lacks in ethics, science or facts, it more than makes up for in tactics of linguistic influence, arm-twisting and flat-out lying to the public about the over-hyped benefits of mammography.

The cancer industry isn’t in the business of curing cancer, after all. But it is in the business of catapulting the propaganda of the delusional cancer cult. As Dr. Welch explains:

Screening proponents have also encouraged the public to believe two things that are patently untrue. First, that every woman who has a cancer diagnosed by mammography has had her life saved (consider those “Mammograms save lives. I’m the proof” T-shirts for breast cancer survivors). The truth is, those survivors are much more likely to have been victims of overdiagnosis.

Thus, all those women marching around with pink T-shirts that say, “Mammograms save lives” are actually declaring themselves to be the unwitting victims of a scientific campaign of targeting women, scaring women into treatment they don’t need, then maiming women with toxic chemicals or surgeons’ knives.

If those pink T-shirts actually told the truth, they should say, “I survived the cancer industry.”

The big question in all this, of course, is: For how long will western civilization continue to live under the spell of the Cult of Komen? How many million women have yet to be sacrificed to the false quackery of mammography and the scam of modern oncology?

And more importantly, why do families allows their own mothers, daughters, aunts and grandmothers to be poisoned and maimed right in front of their own eyes, while they all sit back and submit to the false authority of profit-seeking doctors who practice nothing more than pure quackery?

Modern oncology represents the Dark Ages of western medicine

There will come a day, I have repeatedly predicted, when the modern practice of chemotherapy will be relegated to the history books of bad medicine, alongside sniffing mercury vapors and surgically removing body organs to treat mental disorders.

Until that day comes, countless numbers of innocent women will be tricked into being mutilated, chemically poisoned, and blasted with ionizing radiation by cruel doctors who frankly don’t care one bit how many women they maim or murder as long as they get reimbursed by Medicare for the procedures.

That’s the truth about the cancer industry you won’t hear from Komen (nor from any of its pink ribbon cult followers).

The conclusion from the study authors

Despite substantial increases in the number of cases of early-stage breast cancer detected, screening mammography has only marginally reduced the rate at which women present with advanced cancer. Although it is not certain which women have been affected, the imbalance suggests that there is substantial overdiagnosis, accounting for nearly a third of all newly diagnosed breast cancers, and that screening is having, at best, only a small effect on the rate of death from breast cancer.
