Hazle Township businessman James Lagana has again convinced the court to delay a sale of his tax-delinquent commercial properties.
Lagana owes a combined $291,185 in school, county and municipal taxes on the five affected properties dating back to 2009, records show.
Properties are supposed to be auctioned if taxes have gone unpaid for two years. To get out of a sale, property owners must pay taxes owed, file for bankruptcy or convince a judge to grant more time.
A special auction was scheduled for Wednesday, but county Judge Michael T. Vough issued an order postponing the sale to April 1.
Lagana's legal counsel argued more time was needed to resolve property survey issues required to refinance the five properties, said John Rodgers, head of Northeast Revenue Service LLC, the county's tax claim operator. Rodgers said this information was conveyed during a Monday court hearing conducted by phone.
Vough's order says Lagana must provide the court with a status on the refinancing during another telephone hearing to be held at 8:45 a.m. March 19. Lagana's attorney must provide a phone number before this teleconference to the court and all interested parties, the judge said.
Northeast Revenue has been pushing for a special tax auction solely for Lagana's properties because of the amount owed and Lagana's continued requests for delays.
The five properties have a combined assessed value of $4.3 million and include commercial office and retail buildings on the Airport Beltway, including the Beltway Commons and Laurel Professional Center.
Last spring, the court issued an order in stating in bold print "no further continuances will be granted."
A special auction had been scheduled for January, but it was pushed off until February after Lagana argued he should receive "one final" extension because he has reached a refinancing agreement that is near closing.
The refinancing will allow Lagana to pay all back taxes and other outstanding liens, including debts to the Internal Revenue Service, Fidelity and Deposit Insurance Co., the Greater Hazleton Joint Sewer Authority and the Hazleton Municipal Authority, Lagana told the court.
Lagana said he'd be forced to file for bankruptcy if his request for additional time is rejected. The county and others owed money would not all be paid if the properties go to tax sale, a mortgage foreclosure sheriff sale or bankruptcy, he said.
In exchange for the delay, Lagana agreed Northeast Revenue won't be required to spend money on another round of tax sale advertising and lien-holder notifications. However, Northeast Revenue representatives say they might be forced to readvertise to comply with legal requirements if the April 1 sale also is continued.

Ah, I see. My eyes skipped over the national part.
I guess it is up to who calls the shots in times like this. Is it really that important that fans want the model stuck behind a glass box for display?
What's the status on the Enterprise-D models? I know one was considered lost, but later given back to Paramount by an employee of Planet Hollywood. It had been hanging from the ceiling at a restaurant and damaged a bit.

In our application tests, we were surprised how similarly the A10-5800K and Core i3-3220 performed. There was little difference between them in Excel while the Core i3-3220 provided superior WinRAR performance and the A10-5800K gave superior Photoshop CS5 results. Things were also close in our encoding benches, with the A10-5800K doing a tad better in Handbrake and slightly worse in TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 13:06
Performance wise, I'd go with the Core i5. Since you don't game, either can deliver smooth HD playback. I would recommend a cheapo graphics card down the road, always best to have a dedicated GPU, even if it's not very powerful/not used for gaming.
thanks for that info peteruk
so what about the comparison between the Intel Core i5 3330 and the a10 5800k?

hey nexusline.. many thanks for your links. 6 cores? heres me thinking im almost at my peek at running it down to 2 choice of the i5 and the A10 however how come the cpu you have in that bundle is cheaper than the other 2 that has been suggested and how does it compare?
for some reason i can hardly see any information with regards to the i5 3330 cpu. I did however find a video comparing the fx-6100 to the i5-2500 which shows that the i5 is a higher performer but costs quite a bit more. which is true in this instance of the version too.
Im starting to slide towards the A10 due to cost and performance however im hardly a gamer. would i still benefit at all? or is really the i5 the way to go?
many thanks

Lansing golfers headed to state
Jackson places second, Cameron sixth as LHS sends full squad to state
May 15, 2006
Topeka Strong rounds from sophomore Maria Jackson and senior Andrew Cameron were just enough to lift the Lansing High golf team into the Class 5A state tournament.
Playing Monday in the regional tournament at Lake Shawnee Golf Course in Topeka, Jackson shot a season-best round of 75 and placed second individually after winning a three-player playoff. Cameron shot an 80 and placed sixth. Their scores were enough nudge LHS into third place in the team standings. The top three teams qualify for state.
Shawnee Heights won the team title with a 311. Topeka Seaman was second with 322. Lansing's 332 was four strokes better than fourth-place Mill Valley.
Joining Jackson and Cameron with low rounds for Lansing were junior Stefan Froelich (88) and junior Ted Haugland (89). Seniors Max Kozak and Javen Kelly rounded out the squad with a pair of 91s.

KUALA LUMPUR: One of Malaysia's most acclaimed actresses, Maya Karin, who became popular for her role in the Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam films, will be portraying a mermaid in her new film Duyung, set to be released early next year.
Duyung is a light-hearted fantasy romantic comedy directed by Assoc Prof A. Razak Mohaideen (of Anak Mami and Nana Tanjung fame).
Jimmy believes the myth told by his mother that if the environment were looked after, a mermaid would appear.
Maya had to wear a mermaid outfit, which required her feet to be bound, during the 25-day shoot at Sipadan island, Sabah, where most of the scenes were shot in May.
"It was definitely interesting," said Maya about acting underwater during the official launch of the film on Tuesday.
"I had to express myself and even show that I was talking underwater.
"I didn't think too much about what I had to do, I just went for it."
Assoc Prof Razak said he was very impressed by Maya's ability and commitment.
"It is difficult for anyone to swim and dive with their legs tied and I truly admire her for that," he said.
"We did not have to resort to stunt women for some of the more difficult scenes. Maya Karin proved she is a real mermaid and no longer a pontianak."
Maya, however, did experience a few scary moments during the underwater shoot.
"There was an incident where my mermaid outfit got stuck in the fishing net, so that was a bit scary, but Saiful and another crew member were nearby and realised I was in trouble and helped me," she said.
Duyung is presented by DiGi and is the second film produced by KRU Films (the first is Cicakman) in association with Grand Brilliance Sdn Bhd and Line Clear Motion Pictures.

Curl up in an overstuffed chair and exhale into the quiet sanctity of a space dedicated to the art of reading. You make a donation to charity each time you buy something at Housing Works Used Book Café (126 Crosby Street, 212-334-3324): This bookstore gives its proceeds to a nonprofit group that offers health care, advocacy, and housing for homeless New Yorkers who are HIV-positive. No need to pack a lunch, as the café serves up coffee and snacks. Around the corner, Poets House (72 Spring Street, 212-431-7920) is tucked away in a Spring Street building. Here 40,000 books of poetry are archived, and hardwood floors, large area rugs, green glass reading lights, tall freestanding bookshelves, and comfortable couches make the "house" feel more like a cozy den than a library. Those who like to linger can quickly lose track of time in either place, browsing through rare and out-of-print titles, and relishing a respite from the steamy city streets. [winterton]
Yogis looking to add a bit of oomph to their shanties or beginners searching for inner peace should consider slipping in a little sunshine with their downward-facing dogs. At Central Park's North Meadow Recreation Center (mid-park at 97th Street, 212-348-4867, ext. 10; Sat at 11:30 and Sun at 1:30, $3 with mats) a soothing walk through the park serves as a precursor to an hour-and-a-half yoga session. On Saturdays, massive windows allow for outdoor viewing as Yoga to Help Heal instructors guide followers through various forms, while the Sunday class is great for hatha lovers. Upping the ante, Body Evolution (221 Second Avenue, 212-228-4202, $12) offers evening ashtanga and vinyasa classes on a remote, outdoor wooden deck replete with plants and shrubbery. Just stay put on your mat while laying in shavaasana to avoid splinters. [franklin]
Find secret-garden bliss in midtown at New York Plazaadjacent to the office tower on 1166 West 46th Street and around the corner from the tasty takeouts on Little Brazil Street. It's got chirping birds, fields of white daffodils, and loads of seating. Further east you'll find perfectly quaint Paley Park, a minuscule cobblestone courtyard covered in ivy, located on 53rd Street between Fifth and Madison avenues. Meditate on the water rushing down the back wall like some passageway to another place, or grab one of the little white tables by a planter bursting with yellow tulips. If the park's full, and it's likely to be if it's lunchtime, you'll find more seating next door at the flower-filled office plaza outside 520 Madison Avenue. Or keep strolling till you get to the steel-girder entrance of luscious Greenacres Park, the mother of midtown pocket parks, on 51st Street between Second and Third avenues. The pots of pink, yellow, and purple flowers make it more fragrant than a Bloomingdale's makeup counter. The multi-tiered oasis has a delightful river running around its perimeter that leads to a giant waterfallgrab a nearby table and get splashed. [spartos]
The two most nerve-racking things about shopping? Poor selection and sticker shock. But trolling the city's sidewalks for abandoned treasures is the opposite of stressful. You don't know what you want till you find it, and then it's free, free, free! It's an exercise in serendipity, an excuse to drift through undiscovered neighborhoods, gleaning the bounty of New York like a beachcomber. For those materialistic souls who claim that the quality of discarded merchandise is inferior to that on sale, I offer for inspection these recent real-life finds during sidewalk scavenging: A cotton deep-pile carpet with a single gorgeous pop-art red rose unfolding in the center (Broadway and 9th Street); an erhu, a snakeskin-covered Chinese two-stringed instrument (6th Street and Avenue A); and one perfectly fitting pair of Barneys New York trousers in navy blue (13th and 5th streets). [kamenetz]
Recipe for the Ultimate Superbien Cheap City Date: Breezily invite a "friend," toward whom you have unchaste intentions, to meet you at Casa Adela Restaurant (66 Avenue C, 212-473-1882). Then beguilingly order up a $4 heaping plate of yellow rice with pigeon peas and beans; a $3 avocado salad; and two fresh banana batidas, $3 each. Now take your plastic picnic sack and walk four blocks to the 9th & C Community Garden (East 9th Street and Avenue C). Four balletic weep-ing willows majestically border the grounds. And the top of the chain-link fence is crowned with pinwheels fashioned from Welch's grape soda cans, and daisies with laundry detergent cap centers. There are wooden picnic tables, canopies of twinkling lights, hushed English garden nooks, and chipped ceramic angels trumpeting l'amour from clay pots. Also a stage for free live music and theater after darkI swear to you, it is like heaven here. Hey, it worked for Victor Vargas, sort of. [rao]
Manhattan's East River bridges provide 24-hour access for pedestrians and bicyclists and the summer is super for strolling. (For updates on crossing conditions, visit Transportation Alternatives, transalt.org.) Though I dream of throwing my own birthday brunch on the wondrous and wide walkway of the Brooklyn Bridge (Manhattan entrance: Park Row and Centre Street; Brooklyn entrances: stairs to Cadman Plaza East and Prospect Street, ramp to Tillary and Adams streets), I'll settle for this summer's Williamsburg Bridge 100th Birthday Bash in Continental Army Plaza (Roebling Street and South 4th Street, Brooklyn). On June 22, a day-long festival will mark the centennial of the bridge (Manhattan entrance: Delancey Street at Clinton Street; Brooklyn entrance: Roebling and South 4th streets) with cake, walking tours, music, art, and game tournaments.

3rd World Country? I think not.
Of course here on VT, input is by individuals. If you disagree with what they write, the best thing to do is build a page and showcase the location to be as you see it. I guess the perception of "third world" can be misconstrued by general terminology. Are you from Venezuela? and No I have not been there sorry.

RE: 3rd World Country? I think not.
I suppose you are from Venezuela and agree with 'kiwi' building VT pages about Venezuela and/or valencia would be much better to convince other travellers to come to your country.

RE: 3rd World Country? I think not.
Hi! I am from Venezuela and I have been in Valencia many times. Venezuela is a very modern, educated, cosmopolitan and beautiful country. I would also say that Venezuela is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the region.
Venezuela is also a third world country but it is just a political definition that was created several decades ago to separate developed capitalist countries from developed communist countries and undeveloped countries. Since Venezuela and all Latin American countries are undeveloped countries we fall under this category. Some people really do not understand where this clasification comes from and they use it freely. Do not worry about it! This is probably someone who does not have a clue what the definition of a third world country is.

RE: RE: 3rd World Country? I think not.
Venezuela is considered a third world country because of statistics such as:
Natal mortality: 22.2 babies out of 1000 die in the first year of life
10% of children under 5 are malnurished
20% of children are not immunized for measles
16$ of the population does not have access to clean water (42% in rural areas!)
31% of the population does not have access to a sewage system (31% in rural areas)
65% do not have access to a telephone
8% have internet access
Average per capita income of US$ 5,800 (purchasing power parity)
31% of the population is below the national poverty line
32% of the population lives on less than US$ 2/day (compare with the line above to get an idea of what is considered poverty locally)
(these statistics come from the United Nations, World Bank and a few other sources I consider reliable)
As you say, it is different. I agree. Better or worse? To say that Venezuela is a third world country is not a negative classification, but rather an analisys of social and economic indicators.
A country can have modern cities and industries but still be a third world country.
It is even harder to say if a country is developed or not based on a visit to a single location (I am not sure if that is your case, but you mention Valencia several times, but no other cities), since you cannot get an over all over impression of the country.

RE: RE: 3rd World Country? I think not.
Lady Disdain, I agree with you. I have traveled thru most of my country and I talked specifically about Valencia because that was the city mentioned on the initial posting. Some of your statistics are accurate, some are not, but I don't think that being considered a third world country is bad. And we are definitely different from the States and Europe, it is just the way it is!!!!

Removed the panel screws that hold the bake element to the back of the stove. Then I disconnected the old element from the wires. Attached the new element using the provided screws. Reattached the old panel screws to hold the new bake element in place. Works great. The new bake element doesn't have an item number on it, so I kept the old element in a cabinet someplace in case I have to replace this one again some day. I've lost the model number for my very old GE wall oven, so without that item number I'll be in trouble.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Sunday morning at Midnight, the National Hockey League (NHL) locked out its players.
As the NHLPA noted in this excellent YouTube video, the players were willing to hit the ice without a deal and keep bargaining.
Make no mistake about it. This is NHL commissioner Gary Bettman's lockout. And it's the lockout of major market owners who refuse to share record revenues equitably.I'm furious that this has happened. NHL players have conceded more than professionals in any other sport. If Bettman did his job effectively, this issue, which we saw coming like the fiscal cliff, would have been dealt with over the last year or two. As down as I am, I managed to get excited for a second. At least I could write one of those articles I have seen come out during labor disputes in other sports -- 5 Stocks That the NBA Lockout Could Hurt. Then, I woke up. It's hockey. "Nobody" cares. The NHL does not move markets like the NBA or even the flash in the pan that was Linsanity Of course, millions actually do care, but when you broaden the context, you get the responses I received on Twitter over the weekend. That one, from a former colleague of mine, Denver sportscaster Chad Andrus, tends toward the most popular. It's football season and nobody cares about hockey. Another guy on Twitter welcomed me to the NBA season. As much as I want to argue with these folks, I know they're right. Diehard hockey fans will come back stronger than ever. Work stoppages --whether over the summer or labor-related -- create pent-up demand for the core fan. But you're not going to get the casual sports fan who doesn't understand the culture or rules of hockey yet, let alone why players and owners can't come to an agreement. A lockout kills momentum with respect to that bunch. So, in a sport that "nobody" cares about, will any publicly traded companies suffer ill effects? The lockout could cause some problems for Canada's Rogers Communications (RCI - Get Report) and BCE (BCE - Get Report). Not only did they recently close on the joint purchase of the Toronto Maple Leafs, but no hockey will hit media revenue, which will deal a blow to that potentially prolific segment.

thas long if ur gonna give a link at least link me to a fatwaOriginally Posted by AbuMubarak
id rather it be discussed here thats why I made the topic
Are we talking about 'khatams' aswell?
Yer why not...Originally Posted by TEH
I don't think the Prophet (salallahu 3alayhi wassalam) used to say Dua in Jama3a...
oh man..khattams..*rolls eyes*asian style..all mixed and reading aloud..(men and women)..and..reading it for this that and the other reason.."hey so-and-so died this day 20years ago..why not have a khattam.."
Erm...I don't get it Reading dua in jamah??
As in, like after the imam finishes farsh , he turns around and says dua out loud?
Or when the people join in?
I was at a wedding today and Masrur Ahmad was the imam dude and he was saying a dua and asked everyone to say the dua along with him...no one did (except my brother who shouted one line out really loud...lol...joka). Felt so sorry for the poor guy. (the imam, not my brother )
Do you mean like the latter case?
A bit of both when at tha end imam says dua and everyone joins in.Originally Posted by Rashid786
u mean when people do dua in congregation? like when sudais does dua..and evryone says ameen? i dont think theres owt wrong with it..in fact this is the first time ive come across it.however i do disagree with the khatam part..the type where the muslims gather and finish quran,pray yaseen etc and eat food specially cooked for the event...its become a ritual.
The great Imam ash-Shafi, he went to his teacher Waki`

Alot of my freinds say raising ur hands wit imam after each prayer and making dua is biddah..i dnt kno tho so thats why im asking here.
well erm as far as i know it isnt..Muhammad SAW raised his hands didnt he? its not biddah maybe well im sure 97% that its a diff madhhab..i dunno what madhahb u follow? or sect?
The great Imam ash-Shafi, he went to his teacher Waki`

Jus found this:
Imam al-Jazari in his book al-Hisn al-Hasin listed among the etiquette of du`â': "Let both the supplicant and the listener say Amîn." Al-Shawkani said in his commentary on that work titled Tuhfat al-Dhakirin (p. 59): "There is mentioned in the sahîh hadith what guides [us] to this [practice]. Abu Dawud narrated that the Prophet heard a man supplicating whereupon he said: "He must conclude it with âmîn." Al-Hakim narrated - grading its chain sound (sahîh) - from Umm Salama - Allah be well-pleased with her - that the Prophet said Amîn in his supplication. Al-Hakim also narrated - grading its chain sound - that the Prophet said: "No group assembles, one of them supplicating while others say Amîn, except Allah answers them."
Zayd ibn Thabit said: "While I, Abu Hurayra, and a third man were in the mosque one day, supplicating Allah Most High and remembering our Lord, the Prophet came out to us and sat with us. When he sat we fell silent. He said: 'Continue what you were doing.' So I supplicated, then my friend, before Abu Hurayra, while the Prophet said âmîn to our supplication. Then Abu Hurayra supplicated saying: 'O Allah! I ask you all that my two friends asked of you and I ask you for knowledge that shall not be forgotten.' The Messenger of Allah said âmîn. We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! We, too, ask for knowledge that shall not be forgotten.' He replied: 'The boy from Daws asked for it before you (sabaqakumâ / sabaqakum ghulâmu daws / al-ghulâmu al-dawsî).'" Narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Awsat with a chain of trustworthy narrators except for Qays al-Madani who is of unknown reliability as indicated by al-Haythami in Majma` al-Zawa'id (9:361); al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra (3:440) both with the same chain, which Ibn Hajar declared "good" (jayyid) in al-Isaba (7:438 #10674) - citing al-Nasa'i's Sunan as he does in Tahdhib al-Tahdhib (12:291) - and al-Hakim (3:508=1990 ed. 3:582) with a chain he declared sound (sahîh) while al-Dhahabi cited the weakness of one of its narrators - Hammad ibn Shu`ayb - but in the Siyar (4:197=al-Arna'ut ed. 2:616) he cites Qays's chain [cf. al-Mizzi in Tahdhib al-Kamal (24:94)] with al-Fadl ibn al-`Ala' in lieu of Hammad, adding: "Ibn al-`Ala' is truthful (sadûq)," which makes this a fair (hasan) narration in shâ' Allâh. Ibn Hajar also cites it in Fath al-Bari (1959 ed. 1:215).
From Anas - Allah be well-pleased with him - in al-Bukhari's Sahih: A desert Arab came to the Messenger of Allah the Day of Jumu`a saying: "O Messenger of Allah, the beasts of burden are dying, the dependents are dying, the people are dying!" Whereupon the Messenger of Allah raised his hands in supplication and the people raised their hands in supplication with the Messenger of Allah ....
Al-Bukhari adduced this narration as a proof for the desirability of raising one's hands in supplication in general, not only during khutba. By the same token, collective supplication is lawful both inside and outside khutba.
so what does anyone that is not in favour of group dua say to this?^
Salamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah bro. Those that say group dhikr is bid'ah are usually salafis. They claim that they follow the salaf but in reality they follow a small number of their own scholars such as bin baz and uthaymin.

Yeah, thats the first time I've ever heard that that is bidah...it makes no sense anyway :S
they'll throw the every bidah leads to the hellfire hadith at ya
i mean imagine going to hell because u made dua after ur salah or wiped ur face with ur hands after dua :S
Some claim that u are like any one of us, But who can claim, to have visited the Arsh? We say bashr, but respect is also due. For mankind are like rocks, but a pearl are u. U travelled the 7Heavens, and ur eyes did not lie. For Jibril could not pass, but u, O Madani, glided by.
I was told not to come to the masjid if im gonna do biddah of wipin my face.
lol ive said some of these hadiths to them, first they say its weak but they bring no proof. And then they tell me they'll bring me a book to read i havent seen it yet.Originally Posted by MalikOne
Er saying ameen to a duah is not 'group duah' in my books.
When someone makes a duah everyone listens and after the duah is finished people say ameen, whats wrong with that? Do we not do this on ummah?
for the hadeeths MalikOne.
As for 'group duah' isnt this where people get together and shout out duahs altogether, the only time iv seen this is when i was watching the sufis. And from the hadeeths MK1 has posted iv always thought it was wrong since the listeners should be quiet.
And as for wiping your face with your duah, why do people do that? What does the duah do to your face? Make it shiny?
gosh dont you ever get bored of saying the same thing over and over and over and over and over...Originally Posted by Ibn al-Mubarak
We get it, you hate salafis!
Man if your car broke down would you blame salafis from that aswell?
please people don't speak out of ignorance and bring proof for what you say.
There is difference between "group du'aa" and "group dhikr" .. and you have to explain what you mean by "group du'aa" !
well in that case, I can say same thing about you, you follow Khalafi scholars, not the Salaf !Originally Posted by Ibn al-Mubarak
That is so ridiculuos !
shaikh Ibn Uthaimin and Ibn Baz rahimahu Allah followed the path of the Salaf, so we take from them.
So stop this nonsense of us not following the Salaf, and following the Khalaf.. because ur shaikhs whom u take from are also KHALAF !
Ahh thats its, groups dhikr is the one salafis supposedly say is bid'ah... which is it.
Thats what i saw the sufis do
are we talkin bout dhikr or dua? im sure malik were talkin bout dua..unless it evolved into dhikr?
anyways..so the conclusion is??
that the dua..is not bidhha? am i ryt?

Theres a hadith narrated Ibn Umar (RA) about the prophet (SAW) wiping his face during dua.
So Niqabi are you saying he did it to make his face shiny?
Its best not to say things if you have No knowledge just remain silent iA.
This isnt wht the threads about but seeing as it was brought up
Some people when they finish making the dua after the prayer wipe their face after they have made the dua. Is that a bida; is there any contextual evidence from the sunna for it's permissibility. sorry if that sounds too salafi like!
al-Salam alaykum
No, this is not a bid`ah; rather, it is an established sunna and recommended to wipe one's face after supplicating. It is reported in authentic hadiths, such as the one Imam Tirmidhi reports, that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) use to wipe his hands over his face after completing the du`a.
This is mentioned as being recommended by:
Imam Nawawi (Adhkar, Majmu` 4.451), and others
(Al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya 3.19)
Imam Shurunbulali (Shurunbulaliyya)
Imam Haskafi (Durr al-Mukhtar)
Imam Ibn Abidin (Radd al-Muhtar)
Abu Usamah & Faraz Rabbani
Is the du`a made immediately after the prayer, and the wiping of the face a reprehensible innovations (bid`ah)? If it is not, what is the proof for it?
[Making du`a after prayer]
Making du`a after finishing from the prayer is a confirmed sunna that is established in rigorously authenticated hadith that came from him, may Allahs peace and blessings be upon him. The scholars have unanimous consensus (ijma`) concerning it. Imam al-Nawawi said in the Majmu`, after speaking about the rulings of the final salams in the prayer,
Shafi`i, his companions and others, may Allah have mercy on them, agreed that it is praiseworthy to mention Allah, Most High after the salams, and that is praiseworthy for the imam, the follower, one praying alone, man, woman, traveler and others.
And it is praiseworthy that he supplicate after the salams, by agreement, and at this time, many authentic hadith have come to us of dhikr and du`a that have been compiled by me in the book, al-Adhkar on the authority of Abu Amama, may Allah be well pleased with him, that he said, It was said to the Messenger of Allah, may Allahs peace and blessings be upon him, Which du`a is the most heard?, so he said, In the depth of the last of the night and immediately after the obligatory prayers. It was related by al-Tirmidhi and he said it is a hadith hasan
Many authentic hadith have been mentioned about the legitimacy of dhikr and du`a, so whoever wishes can refer to them.
[Wiping the face after du`a]
As for wiping the face after the du`a, whether the du`a is made after the prayer or at another time, it is a sunna also for what has been related by Tirmidhi by our master, Ibn `Umar, may Allah be well pleased with them both, who said, The Messenger of Allah, may Allahs peace and blessings be upon him, whenever he used to extend his hands out in supplication, he did not draw them back until he had wiped his face with both of them.
Hafidh Ibn Hajar said in Bulugh al-Muram, in the chapter of dhikr and du`a, This was related by Tirmidhi, and he has proofs for this, of them is the hadith of Ibn `Abbas, according to Abu Dawud and others, and all of them together rule that it is a sound hadith (hadith hasan).
A hadith that his hasan is depended upon in rulings, so it is a sunna to wipe ones face with ones hands after the du`a as many scholars considered it [s. depended upon] such as Imam a-Nawawi and his book, al-Tahqiq.
San`ani said in his Subul al-Salam in his commentary on the above hadith,
and it contains a proof for the legitimacy of wiping ones face with the hands after making du`a. It is as though the occasion means that Allah, Most High does not return anyone empty-handed so it is as though mercy has touched them, so it is most suitable to pour forth [s. that mercy] on the face, which is the most honored part of the body and the most deserving of reverence.
And Allah alone gives success.
Amjad Rasheed
Question :
What is the ruling on wiping the face and body with the hands after making du'aa', and kissing the eyes?.
Answer :
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not prescribed to wipe the face after making du'aa'. There are many ahaadeeth which describe how the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) called upon his Lord in du'aa', and there is no proven report that he used to wipe his face after making du'aa'.
Those who say that the face should be wiped quoted some ahaadeeth as evidence, but upon further examination they are not saheeh, and do not support one another.
As for the views of the scholars who say that it is not allowed to wipe the face, they include the following:
1 – Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: It is not known that anyone used to wipe his face after making du'aa' except al-Hasan.
Al-'Ilal al-Mutanaahiyah, 2/840, 841
2 – Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: With regard to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) raising his hands when saying du'aa', there are many saheeh ahaadeeth concerning this, but as for his wiping his face with his hands, there are only one or two hadeeths concerning that, and they cannot be taken as evidence.
Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 22/519
3 – al-'Izz ibn 'Abd al-Salaam said: No one wipes his face with his hands after saying du'aa' except one who is ignorant.
Fataawa al-'Izz ibn 'Abd al-Salaam, p. 47
If it is not permitted to wipe the face after making du'aa', it is more likely that the person who says du'aa' should not be allowed to wipe his body either, or to kiss his eyes.
Rather the scholars stated that kissing the thumbs and placing them on the eyes is a bid'ah that was introduced by some of the Sufi tareeqahs, and there is a hadeeth concerning that which is falsely attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about the ruling on wiping the face with the hands after making du'aa'. He replied:
Wiping the face with the hands after making du'aa' is more likely to be not prescribed in Islam, because the ahaadeeth that have been narrated concerning that are da'eef (weak). Shaykh al-Islam (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: They cannot be used as evidence. If we are not certain or we think it most likely that this is not prescribed, then it is better not to do it, because Islamic rulings cannot be proven on the basis of mere conjecture, unless we believe it to be mostly likely to be the case.
What I think about wiping the face with the hands after du'aa' is that it is not Sunnah. As is well known, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed for rain during his Friday khutbah and raised his hands, but it is not narrated that he wiped his face with them. Similarly in a number of ahaadeeth it says that the Prophet raised his hands, but there is no proof that he wiped his face. End quote.
Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 14/question no. 781
And Allaah knows best.
Islam Q&A (www.islam-qa.com)
no offence sis..but isnt that the salafi answer??
and what omar gave the hadeeth..its from tirmidhi..and its reliable.

Someone said the hadiths on wiping the face after dua are weak? Is he right?
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
On what basis did he say that they are weak?
Whether a hadith is sound or weak is a matter of hadith ijtihad—open only to top hadith masters, not simply well-versed scholars (let alone would-be hadith students with little learning and no teachers).
If some hadith masters deemed them weak, it would not affect the ruling of the fuqaha: there is generally agreement that it is recommended to wipe one's face after supplication. [Nawawi, Majmu` (4.487); Fatawa Hindiyya (5.318)]
And no lesser hadith master than Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani deemed the hadiths related to wiping the face to be sound (hasan). [See: Bulugh al-Maram (#1463)]
And Allah alone gives success.
Faraz Rabbani
prove the hadiths are weak?
Coz someone mentioned group dhikr being bidah too:
Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you come upon the meadows of the Garden, graze in them." He was asked, "What are the meadows of the Garden?" "Circles of dhikr," he replied. [at-Tirmidhi)
The scholar Ibn 'Allan, commentator on al-Adhkar, said that this hadith means, "When you pass by a group remembering Allah, do the dhikr they are doing or listen to their dhikr. They are in the meadows of the Garden now or ultimately. The Almighty says, 'For him who fears the Station of his Lord there are two Gardens.' (55:45)" [al-Futuhat ar-Rabbaniyya 'ala'l-Adhkar an-Nawawiyya]
Last edited by Omar; 25-07-06 at 11:27 AM.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah Almighty has angels who travel the highways and by-ways seeking out gatherings of dhikr in the earth. When they find a gathering of dhikr, they enfold them with their wings stretching up to the heaven. Allah asks them, 'From where have you come?' They reply, 'We have come from Your slaves who are glorifying You, praising You, proclaiming Your oneness, asking of You and seeking refuge with You.' He says – and He knows better than them, 'What are they asking Me for?' They reply, 'They are asking You for the Garden.' He says, 'Have they seen it?' They reply, 'No, our Lord.' He says, 'How would it be if they were to see it?' Then He asks – and He knows better than them, 'What are they seeking refuge from?' 'From the Fire,' they reply. He asks, 'Have they seen it?' 'No,' they reply. Then He says, 'How would it be if they were to see it?' Then He says, 'I testify to you that I have forgiven them, I have given them what they ask Me for, and I give them the refuge which they ask of Me.' They say, 'Our Lord, among them is a wrongdoer who is sitting with them, but is not one of them.' He says, 'I have forgiven him as well. The one sitting with these people will not be wretched.'" (Muslim, at-Tirmidhi, al-Hakim)

I asked an imam in my masjid about wiping face during dua and he went off on one about its bidah and this is another one of the problems in this masjid there is so much bidah when i told him the hadiths he said its weak and he didnt show me any backing to tht claim. Its easy to shout bidah this and bidah tht but prove it.Originally Posted by bint
But if i mention this people think im jkin or mockin da deen and they go crying. But truth is thats wht happens. It puts u off going to masjid coz inda end he goes if ur going to do bidah (like wipin the face) u might aswell not come here

This is the thing though. No one else has an issue about it we come to the masjid pray and thts it. But then others come and tell you everything ur doing is bidahOriginally Posted by bint
Say for example the feet to feet thing is someone cameupto me and does tht den i dont say nythin coz it dont bother me if they feel this is correct den its there opinion i dont move my feet away coz its not harming or distracting me and i dont attack em for doin tht.
Even if you bring some people proof they dont change there opinions its still weak and bidah to dem.
And before someone/anyone cries im not reffering to anyone specifically and im not mocking so dont start crying about tht too. Im just saying my experience.
So are khatams ok or not?

,like oh u gta eat too AND finish the quran..now i find that funny and stupid only WHEn they make it a rituall..that U HAVE TO EAT...otherwise it aint a kahatam..i mean why cant u do khatam..on a normal day..why do it on death 1 yr on? ..blah!

The Middlesboro Chamber of Commerce hosted the June Lunch and Learn event at the Chinatown Buffet in the Middlesboro Mall.
Cumberland Gap National Historical Park Superintendent Sula Jacobs was the guest speaker.
Jacobs spoke about her history growing up in upstate New York and how important a sense of community is to her. Jacobs took the superintendent position in early March.
Before coming to Cumberland Gap, Jacobs worked for the parks service in Miami, Fla., and Nashville, Tenn.
Jacobs stressed how important the park volunteers are to making CGNHP a successful place for both locals and visitors alike.
CGNHP logged 37,000 volunteer hours over the past year for events and park maintenance.
"It's awesome for people to see how important the park is here and to donate their time. So many things we do, we wouldn't be able to without those hours and without their help," said Jacobs.
Jacobs asked attendees for suggestions to make the park a better place for visitors.
Suggestions included hosting more live music concerts with a wider variety of music genres.
Another suggestion included having an overnight camping trip at Hensley Settlement similar to the Smoky Mountain National Park overnight hike to Mount LeConte.
Jacobs said she welcomes citizen input, opinions and suggestions to help better the park. She can be reached by calling 606-248-2817.

Sheree Whitfield is setting the record straight about a man that posed as her publicist during her fashion show.
What would an event with the Atlanta housewives be without a little drama? Last week, there was a dust up with the press at Sheree's show for She by Sheree.
A man named Jonathan Clardy had shown up to the event, claiming to be Sheree's publicist. Reportedly he was very confrontational with press covering the show. We're told he got loud with one photographer, Hyosub Shin, and the cameraman actually ended up leaving without any pictures.
To be clear: Sheree (pictured above with her date, S2S Publisher Jamie Foster Brown and producer Jazze Pha) had actually hired Cherry Bañez to handle publicity for the fashion show.
Cherry had to do some major damage control after the photographer was sent away. "I am very embarrassed and feel horribly. …I had nothing to do with how that publicist Jonathan dismissed and treated Hyosub or other journalists," she said. "It was unfortunate."
However, this doesn't seem to be an isolated incident for Jonathan.
"At my fashion show, as well as several other places, Jonathan misrepresents himself as my publicist," Sheree stated. "Jonathan was disrespectful at my event to many as well as to my event publicist."
According to the designer, Jonathan had offered to do some publicity work for her a few months ago. She declined because, she claims, he's a gossip.
"I have never entered into any contractual agreement for publicity services with [him] because I found him to be unprofessional," she said in an e-mail, "and he shared negative, privileged information about his previous so-called clients with me."
Sheree admitted that Jon had been invited to the event as a guest, but it seems he may have taken the invitation as an offer letter.
"From the time I arrived, [he] kept placing himself with me whenever the cameras were taping, or whenever I was being photographed—especially on the red carpet with Cherry," she recalled. "As the cameras were rolling, Jonathan kept telling me that he was working with Cherry."
The Atlanta housewife later found out that that was a lie, but he was never booted from the party because of his behavior. "Cherry did not want to attract attention to Jonathan's antics which is why she did not have Jonathan removed from the premises," she explained.

Patriotism is important to Woodmen of the World. But patriotism isn't just about the flag; it's about being a good neighbor and an engaged citizen. I believe the most patriotic thing we can do is to help each other take care of ourselves and our families.
Consider this story told by our founder, Joseph Cullen Root:
"I often met a gentleman from Omaha on the street car on our way to or from work. After a little while I missed him and asked a mutual acquaintance, 'What has become of John Williams?' He replied, 'He is dead. Didn't you know?' I felt condemned, for the deceased was far from being rich and had left a family not well provided for. I had not asked him to join our Order.
"Let this be a lesson to you, as it was to me...You see we must not only live for ourselves, but for other folks. Invite men to join and you will have some part in blessing their loved ones when they pass away from them."
We can each take pride in the blessings our organization gives to one another, much like we take pride in our country. That's what the numbers below truly represent.
$9.34 billion in assets – This is a record amount, and is the foundation of our financial strength. It means that Woodmen of the World will be there when long-term promises come due. This strong position also allows us to support the hundreds of community service projects that our members and their lodges organize, whether that's raising money to help a family pay medical bills or building a wheelchair ramp for someone's home.
$35.8 billion of life insurance in force – This $35.8 billion is also a record for us. It represents men and women making provisions for their families now and years into the future.
$498 million in benefit payments to members – Every benefit payment has its own story – a grieving spouse who was able to keep the family home, a child who went on to college, a couple who retired with financial security. Every story is different, yet they all end the same: Woodmen of the World making a difference by keeping a promise.
We are blessed to live in the United States, which was founded on the principles of freedom and self-sufficiency. It is our patriotic duty as neighbors and citizens to ask our family, friends, colleagues, and associates if they have made provisions for their families.
There is strength in our numbers. This is the story of our strength.

"Math and science are foundation blocks for careers as wide ranging as video game development, engineering, or even investment banking," said Scot Melland, Chairman, President & CEO of Dice Holdings, Inc.
