Al-Qadi Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Abd al-Baqi al-Bazzar Al-Ansari said: "In the past, I've been in Mecca may Allah the Most Holy and Most High always watch, one day I felt very hungry. I do not get something that can eliminate my hunger. Suddenly I found a bag of silk tied with socks made of silk also.

I picked it up and brought him home. When I open, I get inside a diamond necklace that I'd never seen before. I went out of the house, and then there was an old man who cried for the lost bag holding a cloth bag containing five hundred dinars. He said, 'This is for people who want to return the silk bag containing the jewels'. I said to myself, 'I'm needed, I was being hungry. I can take the money for the gold dinar I use silk bag and return it to him '.

So I said to the old father, 'Hey, come here'. Then I took him to my house. Arriving home, he told me that feature silk bag, the characteristics of restraints socks, diamond characteristics and amount of thread that bound follows. So I pulled out the bag and gave it to him and he gave me five hundred dinars, but I do not want to take it. I told him, 'Indeed I should return it to you without taking payment for it'. Turns out he insisted, 'You must be willing to accept it', as he kept forcing me. I'm still on my mind, do not want to accept.

Finally the old man went away leaving me. As for me, some time after that I came out of the city of Mecca and sailed by boat. In the middle of the sea, the boat lift was broken, people are all drowned with their possessions. But I survived, with riding a board from the broken pieces of the boat. For some time I stayed in the sea, not knowing where to go!

Finally I arrived at an island population. I sat in one of their mosque while reciting verses from the Qur'an. When they know how I read it, none of the inhabitants of the island unless he came to me and say, 'teach the Qur'an to me'. I fulfill their requests. From them I got a lot of property.

Inside the mosque, I found a few pieces of Mushaf, I took and started to read it. Then they asked, 'Can you write? ", I replied,' Yes'. They said, 'Well, teach us to write'. They also come with children and adolescents are also their. I teach them writing. From that instant, I got a lot of money. After that, they say, 'We have an orphaned daughter, she has enough property. Would you marry her? "I refused. But they continued to insist, 'No way, you have to want'. Finally I indulge them, too. When they took the girl to the front of me, I look at him. Suddenly I saw the diamond necklace that once I find in Mecca around his neck. Nothing I did at that time but just keep watching the jewel necklace.

They said, 'Really, you have destroyed the heart of this orphan girl. You only notice the necklace and did not notice him '. So I tell them my story with these necklaces. Once they know, they shouted Takbir until tahlil and heard by local residents. 'What's wrong with you?', I asked. They said, 'How did you know that the parents who took the necklace from you at that time was this girl's father'. He once said, 'I have never had a Muslim in this world (well) people who have returned the necklace to me'.

He also prayed, 'O Allah, that I arrange a meeting with him until I can marry her off with my daughter', and has now become a reality '. I began to navigate life with him and we were blessed with two children. Then my wife died and diamond necklace into treasures for me and for my children. But both my son was dead, too, until the jewel necklace fell into my hands. Then I sold it for a hundred thousand dinars. And the property you see in me right now is the rest of the money that 100 thousand dinars. "

Mosque Islamic Center of Washington DC The Islamic studying

Islamic Center, the oldest mosque in Washington DC, is not only a favorite destination for residents of American Muslims visited, but also many non-Muslims who came there in search of knowledge and knowledge about Islam.

"We're trying to spread knowledge about Islam as the Qur'an teaches us, through wisdom and good guidance," Imam Abdullah M. Khouj, Director of the Center for Islamic Center - told Islam Online.net in an interview in his office.

A historic mosque, located in the heart of Washington on Massachusetts Avenue, is a destination for non-Muslims from America and abroad who come to join in a popular tour.

"Every day we receive 100-600 guests," said Imam Khouj.

Some tours conducted for the State Department official who will serve in the Islamic world or the students who will study in Muslim countries.

"They came to the Islamic Center and we give lectures and seminars on the situation in the Middle East and what to expect and how to behave in an Islamic country," explained the priest Khouj.

Islamic Center is the oldest mosque in the Washington Metropolitan area. "The mosque was built in 1947, and opened to the public in 1952," said the priest Khouj. When opened, the mosque has become the largest place of worship for Muslims in the Western Hemisphere.

Khouj said the idea of building a mosque was first born in 1944, when it was not a single mosque in the capital of the United States. "This is a joint effort of Muslims here and ambassadors of Islamic countries," he explained.

"Turkey's ambassador at the time discussed the possibility of particular U.S. city of Washington DC has a place for Muslims to practice their religion in the U.S., and it is this which makes what the mosque can exist." Islamic Center is managed by a board of directors that consists of all the ambassadors from Islamic countries accredited to the United States.

During the tour, the mosque officials also provide information about Islam, its teachings and the Prophet Muhammad and answer questions from visitors who are curious about Islam.

"Many were asking about the status of Jesus Christ in Islam, and I answered them that you can not become a true Muslim if you do not believe in Jesus," said Koroma Abbassie, coordinator of the group who visited the Islamic Center.

"The others asked me that if Islam is a tolerant and peaceful then why are there so many Muslims to become terrorists. I said that Islam had nothing to do with the wrongdoing committed by the individual."

Koroma was speaking after completing a tour to a group of Christian Sunday school who listened intently as he talked about the five pillars of Islam and what it means to be a Muslim.

"We came because I wanted the students to understand about Muslims, their religion," Tom Clumet, from Sunday School, told IOL.

Dean was one of the students, joined the tour because his friend was a Muslim and he wants to know more about the religion of his friend. "I got information that helped me. I feel to know Islam better now." Islamic Center is also the arrival of important figures for several years, including several presidents of various countries.

Islamic Center is a mosque which was chosen by President George W. Bush on September 17, 2001, just days after 9 / 11 attacks, to talk to Americans about Islam. Islamic Center, the oldest mosques in the Washington Metropolitan area, offers a variety of services to the local Muslim community.

Like the mosques throughout the U.S., the Islamic Center offers various services to the local Muslim community. "This place is central to every Muslim in the neighborhood," said the director of the Islamic Center Khouj. "We're trying to be a place of education, cultural and social center in addition to being a religious place."

This mosque also contains a big library with all sorts of books on Islam, and have classes to study Arabic, the Qur'an, Islamic law and other subjects related to Islam. "Unfortunately, space in the Islamic Center does not allow us to build a school here, but we managed to set Saturday and Sunday classes for six classes."

The mosque is also involved in the social life of society and try to solve some of their problems. "We do marriage counseling, we help people understand funeral and burial procedures, we try to help people who are not married to married," said the priest Khouj.

"We bought a large cemetery and is available for Muslims to bury those who died for free, because the cost of the funeral here in the United States is very expensive."

But the Islamic Center services are the most proud of is the program da `wah. "We have a large number of people who converted to Islam in here every month," said the priest Khouj. "We made a seminar for the converts, to engage in their new religion, so that they understand and have a clear vision, not just to follow certain methods."

Islamic Center Director also confirmed that their outreach beyond the mosque building. "We have the participants to help us send packages of books to institutions across the U.S., especially in prisons where people want to know about Islam," he said.

"And we received a letter from officials at several prisons are thankful to us because after receiving Muslim prisoners are changing their behavior and they become better human beings. Khouj trust by helping to spread the message of Islam is the main role to every mosque. "We send a lot of people to schools, organizations and prisons to give lectures about Islam.

"We're trying hard to hold fast to the teachings of our religion and the representation of Islam as it should." (Fq / IOL)
