'A'ishah reported: The Prophet was lying down in his house with his thighs or his calves exposed. Abu Bakr asked permission to enter and was permitted while the Prophet was in that position and he came in and spoke with him. Then `Umar asked permission to enter. He was granted permission and came in and spoke with him while in that position. Then `Uthman asked permission and the Prophet sat up and straightened his clothing. He was then permitted and came in and spoke with the Prophet. After he had gone, `A'ishah said, "Abu Bakr entered and you did not get up for him or worry about him and `Umar came in and you did not get up for him nor worry about him but when `Uthman came in, you straightened out your clothing!" The Prophet said, "Should I not be shy of a man around whom the angels are shy?" (Muslim).

 
`Uthman ibn `Affan, one of the close Companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), was the fourth man to accept Islam and the third of the four rightly guided caliphs of Islam. During his reign the Islamic state expanded vastly. `Uthman accomplished a lot during his rule; one of his notable accomplishments was the distribution of single-volume copies of the Qur'an to the Muslim provinces. These copies were made from the master compilation produced under the first caliph, Abu Bakr.

Faith (religion) has such a control that it keeps the whole humanity away from bended characteristics and mean deeds. It helps us to attain distinguishing morals. When we look into the Qur’an we always find whenever Allah called his servants towards virtue or wanted them to hate evil, He stated that it is an essential prerequisite of the faith in their hearts.


O you who believe! Be afraid of Allâh, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds (9:119)

The news around the Muslim world is filled with protests about the recent publication of offensive cartoons, directly aimed at Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and grant him peace). Many Muslims have taken to the streets in their outrage, and numerous Muslim countries have closed off ties to Denmark. As a result, other European news outlets have decided to republish the cartoons as an "expression of freedom of speech."

BookIt has been related that a man, who presumed himself to be knowledgeable, came upon a bakery one day. He deceived the baker and managed to steal two loaves of bread from the bakery. The man then continued on his path until he came upon a pomegranate seller. He deceived the store owner and stole two pomegranates.

The man then continued until he saw a poor sickly man on the road. He gave the two loaves of bread and the two pomegranates to the sick man and proceeded to depart. He was, however, unaware that someone had been watching the entire incident and was now approaching to question him.
