Gain Thawab

Umrah or Ummrah is a minor pilgrimage performed by the Muslims who follow Islam as religion. Muslim may perform it unlimitedly and anytime.

I personally know people go to perform it every year, it’s their choice, they may want to gain more Thawab (Reward for good deeds) and pray to Allah (God) to wipe out their Ithims (sins).

I believe if one already performed Umrah, and wants to perform again, he can gain more Thawab by sponsoring the below categories to go to Umrah:

• An elderly person, who can not afford,
• An orphanage (allot who were not adopted),
• Poor individual/ family,

or

• sponsoring someone to perform Haj.

Think about it, you may gain double or triple or countless Thawab (only God knows how much he will reward you) as if you had performed Umrah. But that is all depends on your true intention, and no one knows it except you and God in addition to the Mala’ikah (Angles) on your left or right who write your deeds, if your intention was good, the right Angle will write it as good deed, and vice verse.

Egypt says ‘No for Shia’

The Egyptian internal affairs has called the Al Azhar scholars specialized in Shia Islam to educate people of the dengar of Shia Islam in Egypt .

Egypt as a Muslim state, it follows Sunni Islam and it’s not accepting Muslims to follow Shia Islam as a faith and accepting other religions to practice their faiths such as Christianity & Judaism as well as Druze faith. Egypt doesn’t want the Shia Muslim to have their own Masjid to perform their prayers and doesn’t want to recognise their existence in Egypt despite it‘s existence in most Arab and non-Arab countries.

I want to know is Egypt going to be the next Turkey?
