Burned?

Ibn Hazm of Andalus was considered to be among the scholars who had the biggest libraries. Like many influential people, there were people in authority that hated him. Perhaps it was because he had ill manners and a sharp tongue. He always spoke against the people.

It is said that the tongue of ibn Hazm and the sword of AlHajjaj are twins. AlHajjaj was a general who killed about 70,000 Muslims in a short period of time.

Because people didn't like ibn Hazm, most of these books were burned by the authorities of his time. After they burned them, he re-wrote them from memory.

...What's the lesson?

Recently I spent a good amount of hours making the next tajweed poster. Recently I learned that is dissapeared. Frustrating at first...

...inshaAllah redoing the poster again :-)

If you mess up. Try again. just get up and do it again.

-----------------

Epi-Storm Conclusion...and the winner is:
  • A young man's journey to Islam and the challanges he faces between culture and deen.

Epi-storm ideas to implement in the future:
  • "good idea-bad idea" of dawah
  • Documentary style show, where random people are asked question and thier responses are posted up -- "Where is Iraq on the map?" and have people point to it or "What does a Muslim believe?" a different question every week.
