Muslim Superheroes!

If Superheroes were Muslims:

They wouldn’t wear tight-fitting costumes

If Superheroes were Muslims:
Most supervillains would strike at Salah time
(In this case, the heroes would utilize the Fiqh of Salah in Jihad)

If Superheroes were Muslims:
More Supervillains would convert to Islam than die

If Batman was a Muslim:
He’d keep that cool beard he had at the beginning of Batman Begins

If Superman was a Muslim: 
Some Sufis would regard him as a Hazrat and regard his powers as Karamaat

If Spiderman was a Muslim:
He’d marry both Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane, problem solved

If Ironman was a Muslim:
The war in Afganisthan would be over

If Wolverine was a Muslim:
He wouldn’t hit on the X-women

If the X-women were Muslim:
It would be easier for wolverine to lower his gaze since they’d be in hijab

If Magneto was a Muslim:
He’d look like Gandalf

PLEASE FORWARD/EMAIL!!

Please forward to anyone that you think can help.
As Salaamu Alaikum.

Sister Afshan is trying to help two young Jordanian boys (ages 9 1/2
and10 1/2) find a permanent home.

Their father fled to Jordan many years ago relinquishing his parental
rights. The mother raised her boys in Warren, Michigan, until she
lost her battle to cancer in December. They have no other family in
the States, and in an effort to save the boys from being handed over
to the State, the mother asked a close friend to keep her boys and
become their legal guardian. This Muslim sister is in her 60's, and
although initially accepted this responsibility out of obligation to
her dying friend, is now having difficulty fulfilling this grave
responsibility. The sister has never had children of her own, and
feels ill-equipped to handle two active young boys (since she is not
in the best physical condition herself).

She is running out of options and is asking our community to find a
Muslim family/couple who could take over legal guardianship of the
boys. She describes the boys as well behaved/good boys, that need to
be in a two-parent family with a supportive Muslim community.It' s a simple process in which she would relinquish her rights and
the guardianship would be permanently assigned to the new family/
couple. She is willing to keep them until the end of the school year.

If she is unable to find another family soon, her only other option
will be to hand them over to the state and place them in foster care.

If you or anyone you know can help these boys, please contact Afshan

Time

Time  

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do,
I had to hurry and get to work,
For bills would soon be due.


So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees,
My Muslim duty was now done,
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time,
To spread a word of cheer,
No time to speak of Allah to friends,
They’d laugh at me I’d fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need,
But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes,
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said
Your name I cannot find,
I once was going to write it down…
But never found the time.
