Why joining NOW matters?
1- In Islam, front-runners and leaders are rewarded for leading others and setting a trend.
2- Allah said in the Quran that those who support Islam while it is weak obtain a higher station than those who support it later, even though both will get their rewards.
3- The success and failure of this drive have consequences (listed below).
Why numbers matter?
· So, we can approach corporate sponsors, e.g. DELL or Apple, to donate for educational causes.
Still have excuses?
· I'm just one person. Why should it matter whether I join or not?
o Very true, but the problem is when 1 million other Muslims all think the same way.
· I already bookmarked the site or subscribed to the feed
o Well, you are not counted until you join the mailing list. Joining is a sign of commitment.
· I can't pay online
o The prophet (SAW) didn't say to sit on the side, but he said, "If you can't then help with a pleasant word." So, still join the mailing list.
· I'm poor and/or stingy and not planning to donate
o Every poor/stingy Muslim knows a rich/generous donor who can donate $1. So if you can't or won't donate, you can still lead others to goodness.

Assalam alaikum
Let me ask you a question.
What happens... if you with 100 thousand other Muslims gave $1 to ONE project at one time?
Suddenly, your $1 made an impact of 100K dollars!
This is no longer a theory.
Muslims from around the world have experience it through HalfDate.com.
HalfDate.com is a Sadaqa promotion site.
The name HalfDate is inspired by the hadith of the prophet (SAW), where he said: protect yourself from the fire, even with a half a date donation, and if you can't, then with a pleasant word.
And now, you are invited to take an active role to help HalfDate grow into the BIGGEST Sadaqa engine on the Net, in-sha-Allah.
How? Simple, the least you can do is to join the mailing list.
Okay, so what's the secret of success for HalfDate?
The simple answer is learning from the Quran and the Sunnah.
Here are the principles that we've learned and applied on HalfDate.com
1. Focused volume
At the beginning, I asked you: what happens if you with 100 thousand other Muslims gave $1. But I didn't stop there. Had I stopped there, it would be called volume, but not FOCUSED.
Focused volume is when a large group of Muslims gives to the same project at the same time.
And that's what we do on HalfDate. Every month we specify a measurable goal and a deadline within that month.
And we learned this principle from Islam, from all congregational worship, such as Hajj. You perform Hajj with other Muslims, all in the same place and at the same time.
2. Load balancing
Sometimes giving all your money away can't cover all the needs in your community. So, with HalfDate, the load of your local community is distributed across the Ummah.
And that we learned from the hadith that the believers are like a body, if one organ is sick, the whole body comes to the rescue.
3. Instant gratification
Why is this important? Because Allah, our creator, told us that we are impatient. So, with HalfDate, you know that your contribution makes an immediate difference, unlike other charity work, you may donate $10K to build a masjid and after 5 years, the project still doesn't have enough funds.
4. Something for everyone
HalfDate drives are not just about donations, because Sadaqa in Islam is a broad concept. With HalfDate, even when you can't donate half a date, you can still leave a comment as the hadith says a pleasant word.
Also, HalfDate gives you a variety of donation drives, you may help out in a Dua drive or a recycling drive... it all depends on what you are interested in.
5. Grassroots discovery
Remember the story where Abu Bakr (RA) used to check at night on the condition of Muslims? That's how he discovered who needs what kind of help. Same here, HalfDate discovers projects from the comments that you leave on the site. That's how we learned about people who shy away from asking.
As in sura al-thariyat and almararij, Allah wants us to give to both, those who ask and those who don't.
So, if you want to share the success and make an impact with half a date or a pleasant word, join the mailing list. At http://halfdate.com

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Watch in High Quality.
Islam is the most misunderstood religion in the world. The majority of people who are not Muslim have only heard about Islam through the media or religious groups who seek to demonize this faith, which is held by one out every five people in the world. Despite all the negative publicity against Islam and Muslims. Islam continues to flourish and to attract new converts everyday, as Allah (SWT) has promised:
"When comes the help of Allah and Victory, and you see the people enter Allah's religion in multitudes..." (Quran 110:1-2)
The Quran also states: "It is He who has sent the Messenger with guidance, and the religion of truth, to make it triumphant over all religions."
(Quran 9:32)
Judaism, Christianity, and Paganism have never regained the dominance they once held since the coming of Islam. Their numbers are declining greatly and at the present rate of growth Islam will over take Christianity by 2025 in terms of numbers.

Would you insult your religion to get your dream house?
Would you eat a ham sandwich everyday, and drink a glass of wine everyday, just to get a house?
Would you sell your religion for a house?
Would you trade your eternal happiness for this short life?
Don't do that... get the halal alternative.

Assalam alaikum,
Hey... What is this Chinka [Asian in Indian subcontinent lingo] doing
Assalam alaikum,
Hey... What is this Chinka [Asian in Indian subcontinent lingo] doing up here? For God sake, it's marriage between a Gujju and Hydro [The groom is from Gujarat and the bride is from Hyderabad].
Well calm down. You will know in a moment.
In the meantime, just treat me as your daisi bhai [Your fellow countryman].
Inna alhamda lillah... [Khutbah Al-Hajjah, the speech opening by the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Prayers Be Upon Him)]
I've been practicing for tonight for quite some time.
Not my speech, but practicing how to eat Indian spicy food!
Because tonight India rules, not just in food, but Naheed [The groom] proved tonight that India is the economics superpower. India is pushing the US economy by giving business to Knott's berry farm [The event venue]. And India is providing job to China.
And you know who are the happiest for achieving this global status, not Indians, but the Bangladeshis. Yeah the Bangladeshis. Because finally, they get to tell their Paki fellows, "Pai-kka, tough luck." [You've lost to India again].
So, why I'm saying all these non sense... Because Naheed rejected all these racial slurs by exemplifying the Islamic brotherhood in his life. While at USC, he broght all subcontinent under one roof, not only that, but he invited an outsider like me to be part of this ummah.
He showed all of us that it doesn't matter what our skin color, language, or tolerance for spicy food is.... but what really matters is the Taqwa, the righteousness.
And for that, I ask Allah to reward him tremendously. Ameen.
Ok, let's get back to marriage.
So, why suddenly Naheed decided to get married? I mean nothing much changed that can trigger this decision. Except that Nokia is moving him to the bay area. I think that triggered him to... finally... to come out. Yes, to come out from the closet and admit to the world how much he loves Hyderabadis.
His first roommate at USC was Hyderabadi. I think his cellmate is Hyderabadi too... Oh, cellmate means cell phone mate. And now he figured out that he cannot live without a Hyderabadi in his life.
Yaar, the paki bro in the back. Are you with me or still debating whether India rules or not?
Listen, you and i may disagree on that. But we all agree tonight that ---sister Juwaria [The bride] --- rules from now on. As for our brother naheed. From all of us, "Miya [Mr.], the game is over."
Thank you.
