community

Many individuals come together to make a community. An Islamic life is to live as a community. To stay dispersed and to pursue ones own advantages and self interest is not the life of the Muslim, who has submitted to God. The question now arises that how can different individuals become one single community? How can separate Muslims be woven into the single fabric of an Islamic community?

We may look at the pivotal point and make clear the direction towards it. Have you ever seen a football match? Of course you have. On each side there are 11 players positioned around one half of the pitch. Some are at the back, some at the front and others in the center. Others are at the left and right and one can be seen standing alone behind them all. They are all spread out as if they have no connection with one another. The ball is placed in the center and a whistle is blown. The previously dispersed players start running very fast. A strange commotion takes place. Now we can see a game taking shape and in this bustle we observe a unique phenomenon. The player who is nearest to the ball makes every effort to direct it towards on specific target. It never happens that a player from one team kicks the ball in one direction and another player from the same team tries to kick it to the opposite direction. The point to which all players of the same side aim the ball is known as their Goal. And goal means aspiration, ambition, intent or purpose. The goal is a point, which is in sight of them all, something that they collectively cherish and wish to achieve. The players are eleven but their aim is one. All the individual players who have one goal are known as a team.

Likewise if all the individuals of a society who have one purpose and a common aspiration, then they can be known as a Community. But individuals can only become a community if they all have One goal and One ambition. If members of any society which do not have one goal they cannot be a community; similarly, if different individuals have different goals they cannot be a community either. People of a nation of even different countries may have things in common but unless they share the same values, they cannot truly be a united community either.

However, for Muslims, God has defined their goal. He has said in Al Imran verse 3:103 “Hold fast to the rope of God, and do not be divided.” This is the goal for all Muslims which will unite everyone and bring all individuals together to become one community. Of some individuals lose their grasp and clutch at straws their goals become distinctly separate; divisions will arise and sects will be created. This rope of God, holding onto which Muslims become one community, is none other than the Holy Quran – Gods criterion for mankind. This is the goal which every Muslim should be looking at. This is the pinnacle which every Muslim should aim for. This is the goal which will give Muslims the unity they need. Eleven players in the soccer field have one goal and theses players are called a team. The opposing players have a separate goal and belong to a different team. Have you noted how all the players in one field have become two distinct factions? This is due to having different Goals. In these times a community’s goal is called ideology. This means that Muslims become a community on the basis of an ideology. They all have the same ideology.

As I have said before, this is what I called unity. If their ideology is different from each other’s then it is (Shirk) or division. That is why God said that, “Muslims take care! Do not become disbelievers after having believed. Do now be of those people who created sects within their social system and themselves became a sect and every sect became satisfied that only they had the truth.” (chapter 30 verse 32)

Have you noted how the Quran has pointed out a single goal and any aim other than a single community is condemned as shirk or an unacceptable division in unity? This is because only on forming a united community cans Muslims prosper. When different sects have different goals, they will not be able to come together. They are not the community of the Ummah (Muslim nation). Their unity is broken and in place of unity there is division. The goal for Muslims is the Quran. It is a book in which there are no discrepancies. Only by following the Quran alone can the Muslims become one, undivided community. This is our ideology and it is for this purpose that Pakistan was created. Muslim means Believer and Kafir means Disbeliever or one who rejects. Those who believe that the Quran is a goal or ideology and establish a government according to it are Muslims. And those who do not believe that the Quran is a goal or an ideology and do not establish a government according to it are not Muslims and thus recognize as Kaafireen or disbelievers. From this it is clear that individuals do not become a community until they have ONE goal or ONE ideology as their aim. Those who believe in the Quranic ideology are Muslims and with this common aim become a united community. What it means to keep the Quran as your goal is that a government should be established to it. It is obvious that when people forget their aims, they can only live as individuals but never as a community.

The Quran says to the Believers; “Remain steadfast and advocate steadfastness to others and join together to implement the laws of God; fear Him that you may prosper.” (3:200)

It's possible to have both competition and community. But I admit that it is difficult in America. Anyone who follows baseball just a little has heard of George Steinbrenner, owner of the New York Yankees who proclaimed, "I want this team to win. I am obsessed with winning, with discipline, with achieving. That's what this country is all about." That the good news and the bad news.

What sociologists know is that the religion of a country mirrors the government and culture.

In America that translates into building the bigger and better church so that the people down the street will leave their church to come and join yours. Bigger is better and if both are "bigger" then the programs must be "better". Worse yet though is the inner mentality that says not only are we bigger and better, we're RIGHT!

That one will leave a mark!

Being RIGHT or thinking that one was right, while everyone else was WRONG, has killed hundreds of millions of people throughout various religious wars- in the name of God of course. History has also shown that wherever GRACE reigns, competition always gives way to COMMUNITY!

The purpose of religion should be to return us to our roots, to God, and therein be evidenced by the love that a group of people (community) have for one another. In a true community, each person is looking out for each other. Love if the freedom we all seek. While there is competition it's not in a WIN-LOSE format but a WIN-WIN one.

Harvey Cox put it this way, "The precious local church is where the Word becomes flesh. I do not believe any modern Christian can survive without some such grounding in a local congregation". There's a reason that the average church in America, of which there are more than 450,000, has 75 members. And there's a reason why there are mega churches in America with 2,000-50,000 members.

Do you know those reasons?

The latter has an "institutional consciousness" built around a "name brand" and an well known "advertised leader" while the former have a community consciousness built around the people that make up the group. Each has it's good points and its not so good points. Life may take you from one to another back again, depending upon where you are in life and your own consciousness level. But in both one must learn to live life graciously to truly find God.

If you are not part of the Craigslist community, you may be missing out on a wealth of financial opportunities as well as the opportunity to learn more about the happenings in your local geographic community, the chance to debate important issues, the opportunity to meet potential friends or romantic partners and the ability to buy or sell items. Each month, Craigslist receives over four billion page views making it abundantly clear that the Craigslist community is an extensive one with many members around the world. This article will focus on just a few aspects of the Craigslist community including finding jobs, meeting friends, buying or selling items and discussing important issues.

Finding Jobs on Craigslist

One of the most well known uses of Craigslist is to find a job. These jobs can be permanent full time jobs, temporary jobs, contract positions and even telecommute positions. Those who are interested in finding a new and exciting career opportunity can browse through Craigslist and search for potential matches in a number of different categories and locations. In addition to browsing through the different categories included on Craigslist, job seekers can also use the search function to search through all of the categories for jobs which may have been placed in categories the job seeker did not consider browsing.

Community members can also find potential jobs by posting their resume through Craigslist. There is a section dedicated to resumes in Craigslist and those who are interested in posting their resume can do so for any desired location. One secret to posting a resume that will gain attention is to include a descriptive headline for your resume. For example an administrative assistant looking for work in the medical field might consider posting a headline that reads, “Administrative Assistant in Medical Field” as opposed to “My Resume”. This is helpful because those who are browsing the resumes in search of an administrative assistant are more likely to click on the first resume than the second because the aforementioned headline is more descriptive.

Meeting Friends on Craigslist

Craigslist can also provide a great opportunity for networking. Whether individuals are looking to meet a platonic friend or a romantic partner or simply looking for a roommate, there is a place on Craigslist for them to post an appropriate advertisement or view existing advertisements. Advertisements for roommates can be placed in the housing section of Craigslist while advertisements seeking friends or romantic partner may be placed in the appropriate category of the personals section. As with any posting on Craigslist, care should be taken to follow all guidelines and restrictions when posting in the personals section of the community.

Buying or Selling Items on Craigslist

Those who are looking to buy or sell items may also turn to Craigslist for assistance. Craigslist has a for sale section which is divided into sections such as bikes, furniture, musical instruments, computers, clothes, household items and even motorcycles and boats. There is even a section for those who are offering items free of charge and those who are seeking the opportunity to barter with others. There is also a wanted section for those who are seeking a specific item they cannot find offered for sale elsewhere on Craigslist. Care should be taken when purchasing any item online to ensure the item is in the condition reported in the advertisement. Craigslist offers a page dealing with scams to provide users with useful information which can help to ensure their transactions operate smoothly.

Discuss the Issues on Craigslist

Members of the Craigslist community can also discuss important local and national issues with other community members. There is a discussion forum with a number of different categories for users to exchange information or debate important issues. When participating in these forums it is wise to follow the guidelines set forth by Craigslist.

Additionally, there is a category in the personals sections called rants and raves for community members to sound off about issues which they feel are wrong. This section is restricted to community members over the age of 18 and all other visitors are cautioned that this section may contain offensive or otherwise objectionable material and should not be visited by those who are easily offended.

Community property law is normally applicable only to two people who are legally married, although it is sometimes applied to couples who have lived together for a long time. Some states have not yet enacted community property laws, and the law varies considerably among the states that have enacted them. Nevertheless, the community property laws of various states share certain features in common.

Contrary to popular opinion, you can t marry a millionaire in a Las Vegas Chapel o Love drive-thru window, pull around and get a drive-thru divorce, and pull out of the parking lot a millionaire yourself. Community property applies to all the property gained during the marriage so the longer the marriage lasts, the better chance the richer spouse has of getting fleeced. For most couples, wages and salaries are the biggest component of community property. Pensions are also included, as are assets (such as houses and cars) bought with these funds. So if one spouse is worth ten million and the other is worth fifty cents before walking into the church for the wedding, their respective wealth is probably going to be about the same when they walk out a few hours later.

In addition to community property , each spouse will normally have some separate property . Separate property includes each spouse s property obtained before the marriage, along with income derived from this property, even if the income is earned after the marriage (in most cases). Gifts received by one spouse only are also considered separate property. In a few states, though, family residences are considered community property even if it was a gift to one spouse and the title is in that spouse s name only. In addition, separate property can be converted into community property by having one spouse donate his or her separate property to the couple s community property..

The foregoing is a very simplified explanation of community property law. Keep in mind that significant differences exist among states, and that there are a lot of rules involved. This article was written to give you a rough idea of what does and does not belong to you.

DISCLAIMER: The following in intended for reference only and not as legal advice.

Ioften imagine about such a discrete community which is situated far from the human populated land, situated somewhere in the mid of jungle or on a far away situated island, totally dependent on natural resources, with no material facilities at all, living their life making use of natural resources as much as possible. In the background of such community I see that all the people of this community is master in one particular field like one is good at cooking, someone at collecting woods for generating fire, someone master at building huts or small houses of woods to live in, someone strong enough to fetch the drinking water from the near by river, someone good at fishing (for food of course) where someone good at farming the needful vegetables and fruits. But in this community there no one is called the boss, all are master of their own, no slavery at all, but still deeply attached with each other with emotions, without thinking about the outside world, enjoying their life totally with nature, chanting prayers in the evening, singing songs by making a camp-fire at night with the company of stars in the wild black starry sky, going for swimming in the near by beach together, enjoying the waterfalls, climbing the mountains situated on the island or jungle ? along or in group, revealing the truth of jungle or island and doing everything that can be done without harming anyone either in the community or in the jungle.

I know this wouldn't be a easy life to lead, obstacles will arise, have to struggle a lot in the beginning to associate ourselves with nature, learning its signs and basics of how it works, building the community place, arranging for daily life resources ? mostly food, drinking water and accommodation, but with total dedication all this can happen in real.

So what would be the first step for making this community a real? The first step would be a search for such perfect place which is situated in a lonely place, out of reach of other humans. We would also need to see as if the local Government doesn't put its feet in the way being an obstacle in this dream of us. This would be the most difficult task in making this community I?m talking about. I wonder we can find such a place either in Africa or in Antarctica. You can suggest any other place in other continent if you know. Once we clear this first step, the rest of the things would come its way, of course they won?t be easy either as nothing is easy in the beginning, but as I said, provided sufficient devotion and dedication it can be achieved.

How many of you desire to participate in this community and why? How many of you have imagined about such lonely life style already? If you have imagined so earlier, what is it you see?mastery? upon? I mean how you can contribute in lessening the daily struggles of this community like are you good at cooking, fishing, fetching water, building the wooden dens or what? What more inputs you need to add to my above thoughts? You feel some of my thoughts are not as they should be? If yes, which are they? And what do you suggest in place of them and why? Do you know any such place where we can build such community?

This is just the beginning in my thought process, yet a lot more to come in this subject, but first let me know your thoughts too on this subject so as we can proceed further in the world of fantasies and imagination.

Running a dating website or a dating software powered social network isn’t enough for social network owners. Social network owners and dating software users must promptly provide customer support and customer care.

Making your profile look good is not a matter of hanging up a few old photos and writing some stuff about yourself. Social networks are flooded with “I am cool”, “I am beautiful”, “I like oranges, apples, cars... bla bla bla..”, so making your profile stand out from the rest of the profiles in the community network or dating site is important if you want to be a hit.

First of all, all of your photos should be clear, recently made, and your face should be clear enough to make out. It’s not recommended to upload your pets’, your friends’, or any other photos. In social networks and dating sites people meet each other, not each others pets.

The Sikh Community
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

At present Sikhs are present in every country and they have attained a countable community in that area. But we must accept that they took their birth in India and it must also be accepted that they came out of the Hindu community and as per law established in India they are governed under the Hindu laws for the purpose of marriage, for the purpose of guardians and wards, for the purpose of succession and they are following those laws and are accepting those laws.
The founder of Sikhism was Shri Guru Nanak Dev ji who is known as the first Guru of the Sikhs and their last living Guru had been Shri Guru Gobind singh ji who actually gave to the Sikhs the present form. The people who know about the philosophy of shri Guru Granth sahibji which has been accepted as the present Guru of the Sikhs and the works of shri guru Gobind singh ji gave to the Sikhs the following five principles which every Sikh is bound to obey and follow in life and only then he could say that he is a Sikh of the Gurus. These five principles are enumerated below:-
(1) Work and earn your living with your own hands and your earning should be pure and if one takes bribes, one commits some misconducts in his profession, trade, calling and employment and collects money through illegal means, then that person does not remain a Sikh.
(2) The man keeps God present in his mind and around him is a Sikh and if he forgets presence of God, that person cannot be called a Sikh. It is on record that most of the Sikhs are reciting gurbani i.e. the works of their Gurus daily and they offer prayer and in the end of this prayer they pray that everybody on this earth must be happy, prosperous and should have all the needs and their provisions at his command.
(3) The Sikhs believe in charity and they give help to the needy. They know that they should not breed beggars, but they should help a person so that he should not beg a fish but should be able to catch a fish himself.
(4) The Sikhs have been guided that they should stand and protect the weak and the poor and must ensure that none is taking advantage of his weakness and of his poverty, and
(5) They try to finish those who are carrying on tyranny against the poor and the weak.
It must be accepted that the Sikhs are following these five principles and there are thousands of events when they could carry out these orders of their commandants.
The Sikhs had been protecting Hindus and they had been fighting against the Mughals who were trying to convert Hindus, were demolishing their places of worship and it is also on record that they had contributed beyond their strength in the country in war of Indian independence and their number had been higher who had been killed while fighting against the Mughals and against the British. If we count the number of people who were hanged, who were given life imprisonment, who were sent to jails, who were deported to ‘kalepaani’, the number of the Sikhs had been on the higher side. We know and every Indian knows that the Sikhs had been contributing much in the administration, in the industry, in the defence, in the agriculture and in other fields and they contributed more than what had been expected from them.
When India was being divided in 1947 the British were agreeing that the Sikhs should get their own homeland known in the name of ‘Khalistan’, but the Sikh leaders of that time did not agree for this ‘Khalistan’ because they knew that the Sikhs could not be retained in a small part. They knew that the Sikhs are a mobile community, a progressive community, a community which is adjustable at any place in the world, they are hard worker, efficient and all that and therefore, they should have a big country and they opted for India because they did not accept the offer of creator of Pakistan that they should have’Khalistan’ in Pakistan. Therefore, we must accept that the Sikhs are the first who opted for India and therefore, they are the first citizens of India and it is on record that the people of India had been considering them as the protector and the true Indians. The presence of a Sikh had been a safety point always here in India.
The Sikhs had bad days when a section of the Sikhs started a movement for the attainment of ‘Khalistan’ which had been rejected in 1947. But it is on record that all the Sikhs did not participate in that movement and it is on record that they could remain with the Hindus throughout and that is the reason that movement failed and it is on record that all the so-called Sikh leaders are not joining their names with that movement. Some people say that this khalistan movement in the eighties had been sponsored by Pakistan because that country was in a mood to take revenge for the creation of Bangladesh. Whatsoever been the reasons, this movement caused much losses to the Sikh community. They lost the prestige, the faith, the sincerety which they had been enjoying lost, they had been declared traitor at one stage when in a rally at Delhi it had been announced against Mainika Gandhi. ‘ Beti hai sardar ki—Mulk ke ghadar ki’. It is on record that thousands Sikhs had been killed, killed in encounters, sent to jails, and some were hanged and some are still in jails facing trials. The losses which the Sikhs suffered in India because of that movement would never be compensated, but they are trying to re-establish here in India and they could raise one of them as Prime Minister of India and even they could raise one to the post of Chief of Army staff.
Sikhs are a mobile community and that is the reason they are available in each part of the world and where-ever they are they are well established and are prosperous. It is the belief in the Sikh community that they earn and they also know how to spend that money. They live like rajas, maharajas and the monarchs and therefore, very few of them are poor and beggars. The are able to adjust in all the circumstances where they are placed and that is the reason, they are establishing themselves in areas who are speaking a different language.
Sikhs are secular in nature because in their Guru Granth Sahib all the communities are present. They are reciting works of all the saints belonging to different communities available at that time in in India and had there been the Christians here in India, their works could have got a place in Shri Guru granth sahibji. It must be accepted that none of the communities in the world are matching the maintenance of Gurdwaras when the Sikhs are providing boarding and lodging to all who are visiting these shrines. They are keeping these shrines well maintained, neat and clean and they are present here for prayer and recitation daily and twice a day.
The Sikhs had been given a special identity by shri guru Gobind Singh ji. They were asked to wear the following five signs to establish that the man is a Sikh. These five signs are enumerated here for the information of all in the world:-
(1) Kesh.
(2) Karra.
(3) Kirpan.
(4) Kachha. And
(5) Kangha.
We are noticing that all the Sikhs are not following these five signs and most of the Sikhs have started avoiding these signs and even then they are declaring that they are the Sikhs and they say that they are believing in the ten Gurus and in Guru granth sahib ji and therefore, they are Sikhs. Some Sikh individuals and some Sikh organizations are trying to bring the Sikhs into these five bounds, but all their efforts are not successful and more and more Sikhs are losing this identity. But it is on record that they have not left the Sikh religion and they still declare themselves as the Sikhs of the Gurus.
The future of this community is not bad because they are well educated, well trained, disciplined, hard worker, efficient, sincere, faithful and they are once again establishing themselves in India and they are also establishing themselves in all the countries where they are present. Their principles, the lives of their Gurus, the teaching of their Gurus, their history, their traditions and their mythology is helping them and they shall retain the reputation they could attain through their past.
