Volume 2, Book 26, Number 589: Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abbas : Al-Fadl (his brother) was riding behind Allah's Apostle and a woman from the tribe of Khath'am came and Al-Fadl started looking at her and she started looking at him. The Prophet turned Al-Fadl's face to the other side. The woman said, "O Allah's Apostle! The obligation of Hajj enjoined by Allah on His devotees has become due on my father and he is old and weak, and he cannot sit firm on the Mount; may I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, you may." That happened during the Hajj-al-Wida (of the Prophet ).

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 56: Narrated Abu Huraira: While the Prophet was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked him, "When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?" Allah's Apostle continued his talk, so some people said that Allah's Apostle had heard the question, but did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Alllah's Apostle had not heard it. When the Prophet finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who enquired about the Hour (Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O Allah's Apostle ." Then the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday)." The Bedouin said, "How will that be lost?" The Prophet said, "When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)"

عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: "صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، عَلَى إِثْرِ سَمَاءٍ (1) كَانَتْ مِنْ اللَّيْلَةِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: "هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: أَصْبَحَ مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِي وَكَافِرٌ، فَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ: مُطِرْنَا بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ، فَذَلِكَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِي، كَافِرٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ: مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ(1) كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَذَلِكَ كَافِرٌ بِي، مُؤْمِنٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ" On the authority of Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhaniyy (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) led the morning prayer for us at al-Hudaybiyah following rainfall during the night. When the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) finished, he faced the people and said to them: Do you know what your Lord has said? They said: Allah and his Messenger know best. He said: This morning one of my servants became a believer in Me and one a disbeliever. As for him who said: We have been given rain by virtue of Allah and His mercy, that one is a believer in Me, a disbeliever in the stars (2); and as for him who said: We have been given rain by such-and-such a star, that one is a disbeliever in Me, a believer in the stars. (2) The pre-Islamic Arabs believed that rain was brought about by the movement of stars. This Hadith draws attention to the fact that whatever be the direct cause of such natural phenomena as rain, it is Allah the Almighty who is the Disposer of all things.

Qais bin Sirma-al-Ansari was fasting and came to his wife at the time of Iftar (breaking one's fast) and asked her whether she had anything to eat. She replied, "No, but I would go and bring some for you." He used to do hard work during the day, so he was overwhelmed by sleep and slept. When his wife came and saw him, she said, "Disappointment for you." When it was midday on the following day, he fainted and the Prophet was informed about the whole matter and the following verses were revealed: "You are permitted To go to your wives (for sexual relation) At the night of fasting." So, they were overjoyed by it. And then Allah also revealed: "And eat and drink Until the white thread Of dawn appears to you Distinct from the black thread (of the night)." (2.187)

Malawi to turn to courts over border dispute with Tanzania

2013-04-01T14:33:00.002-07:00

President Joyce Banda on Monday said Malawi was giving up on mediation efforts and would take to the courts to settle a long dormant border dispute with Tanzania which has been re-activated by prospects of an oil find.

"Our view is that we should eventually go to court. We should not waste time on this (mediation)," Banda told reporters in Lilongwe on return from visits to theUnited States and Britain.

She said the mediation bid left to Mozambique's ex-president Joachim Chissano in his capacity as head of a forum of retired leaders from the regional bloc SADC, was "compromised because information submitted by Malawi was leaked to Tanzania".

She fingered the executive secretary of the forum, John Tesha, a Tanzanian national, for leaking some vital information to his home country.

"After surrendering our documents, we were told that they were leaked to Tanzania before the Tanzanians surrendered theirs," Banda said.

"We feel everything is compromised," she said. In December Banda said the dispute had dragged for too long and she was considering taking it to the International Court of Justice for arbitration.

At stake is a largely undeveloped swathe of the lake where Malawi has awarded a licence toBritish firm Surestream to explore for oil in the north-eastern waters near Tanzania.

Malawi claims ownership of the entire lake under an 1890 agreement, while Tanzania disputes this validity, insisting part of the lake falls within its borders. Talks in the past ended in a deadlock.

Why Mtwara gas must go to Dar

2013-01-03T12:42:00.000-08:00

Wednesday, 02 January 2013 20:26

Minister for Energy and Minerals, Prof Sospeter Muhongo.

The Citizen Correspondent
The government yesterday defended its decision to build the 532 km gas pipeline from Mtwara to Dar es Salaam, saying once complete, it will yield Sh1.6 trillion annually in reduced costs of generating power.
Speaking to reporters in the city, the minister for Energy and Minerals, Prof Sospeter Muhongo, said after 18 months, the government would start saving $1.7m, the amount paid annually to companies generating electricity by using oil.

Another $202 million would be saved once natural gas becomes the major source of energy for domestic use and that of motor vehicles.
The minister said at a time when rainfall patterns are unpredictable, gas is the most economically viable way to go. The government currently buys one unit of oil-produced electricity for $0.30—0.43 and gas-produced power for $0.6—0.8.
According to Tanzania’s 2010—2015 strategic plan, the country expects its power production to reach 2,780 megawatts, which will have an adverse impact on growth from the current six to seven percent to between eight and ten per cent.

Realisation of this goal depends on the success of the Mtwara—Dar gas project which is now facing opposition from some quarters in the society.
The minister was reacting to a demonstration staged last week in the southern town of Mtwara against the government’s plan to pump the natural resource to Dar es Salaam.
The demonstration, with a theme ‘Natural gas comes before political affiliations’ was organised by eight opposition political parties. Participants wanted industrial investment to be made in Mtwara so that the local community benefits from jobs and abundant, affordable electricity.

But Prof Muhongo said this would be an expensive and uneconomic since electricity generation infrastructures are already in place in Dar es Salaam. The total electricity demand for Mtwara and Lindi regions was 12 megawatts, far less than the 18 megawatts currently produced for the regions, he said. Moreover, the demand was only one per cent of the total gas found at Mnazi Bay, Mtwara, alone, he explained.
He went on to clarify that the region in coastal areas does not go beyond 22.2 km (12 nautical miles)to the sea and any resources found farther belong to the deep sea territory. Therefore the total gas deposit found in Mtwara so far is only 14 per cent, Lindi seven per cent, Coast one per cent and Tanzania’s deep sea 78 per cent.
The minister spoke bitterly against regionalisation of resources which he said is a threat to national unity and national economy.
Confining the benefits from natural resource to the locality in which it is found, he said would approve the wrong notion that such resources belong to particular regions, district, wards and even villages in which they are found.
“Natural resources belong to the entire country and no particular region or group of people should demand preferential treatmen,” he said
The minister was also tough on politicians who organised the Thursday demonstration, saying that leaders of Chadema, NCCR-Mageuzi, SAU, TLP, APPT Maendeleo, ADC, UDP and DP had political motives rather than sound economic principles.
He said the demonstration set a bad precedent for a country that has since independence been run by virtually a handful of regions as economic power houses. Said he: “As an agriculture-run economy, since independence this country has depended on sisal, cotton, tobacco, tea and coffee. But none of the regions producing these economic drivers has ever demonstrated to demand special economic treatment.”
He explained that the demand was likely to spread to other areas in the country. This precedent would be unhealthy for peace and tranquillity as well as the economic development of the entire nation, he said. He swarned that the example set by Mtwara Region residents, if entertained, would spark more demands from Mtwara rural dwellers and villages.
On the Mtwara Urban Member of Parliament, Mr Hasnain Murji (CCM), who supported the demonstration, Prof Muhongo said like opposition leaders who organised it, the lawmaker is driven by politics rather than economics.
He said politicians, regardless of their political affiliations, should learn to think big for the benefit of the entire country if Tanzania is to remain united.
He added: “We should refrain from the temptation of dividing our country into small pieces for whatever reasons.”
