Where is brother Umar_Italy?
 

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/salam.gif

Has he been active in the forum for the last a few days?

I sent to him an e-mail 10 days ago, but no answer.

As you know there was a big eartquake in Northern Italy and I am worried about him.

Please, let me know if anyone has heard from him.

Brother Umar is a lucky man, Allah's help is with him, he posted this 2 days back Here An earthquake won't ruffle even his..............amamah.

Yes. He might have got upset with some one disobedient to God and might have stomped on the ground.

He posts every now and then, and posted even after the earthquake I think. So he is alright http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/insh.gif, probably busy in good deeds http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/alhamd.gif

It is very good that members of SF take so much care of each other.
And this brother Umar,must be a very lucky man....every one is speaking so lovingly of him.
May Allah swt give him long life with eeman and afia.ameen.

Aameen Yaa Rabb!!!!

stomped on the ground....and caused an earthquake?!! Wow, that'd be someday...

Anyways, brother's ENIGMA & faaltu have been on my mind since last week, where are they, and they are no more posting on the forum, if any of the guys get to meet them, please convey my Salam. Some differences come up and the next thing you see is members abandon posting on the forum. Where is our Sabr (tolerance) - As long as we believe in the Oneness of God, Muhammad as the Prophet (pbuh) and also the Final prophet (pbuh)...we all should be getting along.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Allahu Alam.

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/salam.gif
yes, I too was missing him for some time. May Allah protect all the SF members.

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/jazak.gif brothers for the kind thought and words; yes, I'm still alive alhamdulillah! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...nnah_smile.gif

Earthquakes aren't affecting my area but we "feel" the strongest ones even here.. Some Muslims have died in the affected area, may Allah have mercy on them..

Sad...

Ameen to the duas.

May Allah (SWT) reward them Graciously.

Brother Umar would you like to comment on -clip-?
I am interested in overall attitude towards Islam, the average attitude in Italy, in spite of the extremes.

Brother Umar,do we find Sufi,s in Italy ?

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/salam.gif

Uhm, I only see the "clip"! If it was the mods and it's something censored you may send me the link (?) through the comments on my blog...

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...nnah_smile.gif

Unfortunately nothing comparable to the Mashaykh of Pakhtunwala!..

If we talk about new-agey, perennialists, barelwis, haqqanis and so on, then there's plenty of "Sufis" in Italy.

But if we talk about proper Tasawwuf, then only recently a few brothers from Italy took bay'ah and reconnected themselves with Mashaykh from Pakistan and UK..

Where is pukhtunwala? Is it in Yamen; I thought that was Tarim or a name similar.
Anyway what is so special about the place you mentioned ?

I think I should have used the term "Pukhtoonkhwa"!..

The people and the Mashaykh living there; just to give a glimpse to our readers:

Brother, Pakhtoonkhwa continues to produce gems whether they be in the fields of Tasawwuf, Ilm and even in Jihad... I hope you understand http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo.../icon_wink.gif

I heard my Sheikh once say this "Pathanon ko Allah nay apnay deen kay liye chun liya hai!" http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...on_biggrin.gif

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/wasalam.gif

Indeed, and that's one of the reasons for my love for it...
And alhamdulillah my Shaykh as well is from the same area.

Translation?.. : )

"Pathanon ko Allah nay apnay deen kay liye chun liya hai!" -- It translates as: "Allah has chosen the Pathan/Pakhtuns for His Deen". He then justified the statement by regarding the Taliban to have been our saviors, had they not been there to help the Ummah we would have been mercilessly slaughtered by the Kuffaar.

Although my Sheikh is not from Pakhtunkhwa but he holds great love and respect for its people.
