Setelah makan malam, tampak semua anggota keluarga Jodi bersantai ria. Bapaknya membaca koran. Ibu dan adik perempuannya menonton TV. Dan ia sedang asyik ber-sms ria dengan temannya. Beberapa menit, masing-masing orang menikmati apa yang ia kerjakan.

“Ma! Foto-foto Papa waktu kuliah dulu diletak dimana ya?” “Mau diambilin, Pa? Di lemari kamar!”

“Iya… Papa mau lihat fotonya teman. Tulisannya muncul di koran hari ini!”

Ibu Jodi pun bergerak meninggalkan adik perempuannya menonton TV sendirian. Masuk ke kamar, dan beberapa saat kemudian keluar dengan beberapa kotak sepatu. Setelah dibuka, ternyata isi kotak sepatu itu adalah foto-foto kenangan keluarga Jodi. Foto semenjak ayah ibunya masih menempuh bangku kuliah dahulu, pacaran dan akhirnya menikah. Memori yang sangat memikat.

Melihat kedua orang tua mereka asyik melihat-lihat foto kenangan, Jodi dan adik perempuannya pun tak tahan untuk mendekat dan melihat foto-foto yang sebagian kertasnya telah menguning. Membolak-balik lembaran demi lembaran foto. Bertanya jika tak tahu siapa yang ada dalam foto. Dan begitu seterusnya.

Islamic Swimwear For The Active Muslimah

by Gabriel Perez All these year's Muslim females have faced the issue of finding a suitable swimwear which adheres to the Koran, which needs a lady to cover everything except her hands, face and feet. The swimwear available in the market were either not targeted for the Muslim women as they led to show of skin or were theoretical for swimming.

The Prophet of Islam - His Biography

by Muhammad Hamidullah IN the annals of men, individuals have not been lacking who conspicuously devoted their lives to the socio-religious reform of their connected peoples. We find them in every epoch and in all lands. In India, there lived those who transmitted to the world the Vedas, and there was also the great Gautama Buddha; China had its Confucius; the Avesta was produced in Iran. Babylonia gave to the world one of the greatest reformers, the Prophet Abraham (not to speak of such of his ancestors as Enoch and Noah about whom we have very scanty information). The Jewish people may rightly be proud of a long series of reformers: Moses, Samuel, David, Solomon, and Jesus among others. 2. Two points are to note: Firstly these reformers claimed in general to be the bearers each of a Divine mission, and they left behind them sacred books incorporating codes of life for the guidance of their peoples. Secondly there followed fratricidal wars, and massacres and genocides became the order...
