This article will deal with honesty in words and intention in online dating. This is a very sensitive factor that is often overlooked or taken for granted. You will not like to be tricked.

When you join an online dating service, you are looking for a girl that you can like…even come to love. That girl is looking for a guy that SHE can like or even love. What you aren’t looking for is a girl who would like your best friend or your idea of what the perfect guy looks like or talks like or thinks like.

You must be completely honest and truthful with yourself about yourself when writing the online profile, during the online dating process and beyond in order to find the right girl for you…and she IS out there

Careful analysis of your past love relationship(s) is the best way to begin writing your profile. What was accurate? What was mistaken? What things really made you cherish the last girl? Which didn’t?

Don’t assume, just because you hated, that your last girl was so totally self-involved that she couldn’t see anything else, you’ll be able to overlook that quality this time. You won’t.

If you aren’t 6′1″ with a six-pack to be proud of, don’t claim to be. If you are a bar tender, don’t claim to be a lawyer with a six figure income. If you are 40 going on 50, don’t pretend to be 30 something.

Remember, the idea here is to find a girl who will like you exactly like you are. If you have lied in your online dating profile, the first face-to-face meeting will remove all her doubt that you are a liar…and probably a cheat, as well.

Lastly, once you have found a girl that you believe can be the one for you, for goodness sakes, cancel your membership to the online dating service. After all, you know and she knows that online dating services are intended for those who are looking…not those who have found or been found.

Abraham Saleh presents secrets tips on love, health, success and finance and your divorce family ebook

I intend with the help of God to make this article the first in a series of writings that will detail my personal journey to walk with a divinely guided human being. I wish to speak of the benefits I have personally received as a student of The Hon. Louis Farrakhan.

My life has been radically changed for the better. I was once like a blind man, but as the Bible says, “I used to be blind, but now I see.” I regained my eyesight as a direct result of being a student under the leadership of The Hon. Louis Farrakhan, The National representative of The Hon. Elijah Muhammad. I give thanks daily for the change that has come over my life by hearing the teachings revealed by Master Fard Muhammad. I have gone from the low life to a higher life of righteousness by accepting these teachings.

My New Beginning

“Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Qur’an 25:70)

The above quote from the Holy Qur’an, the scripture for Muslims, talks about a transformation. This particular Ayat(Verse) speaks of the historical transformation which Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) brought 1400 years ago. However, The Qur’an is a book and guide for all times up to the Day of Judgment. Therefore, the transformative powers of ALLAH’s words in the Qur’an are still able to transform individuals, societies and nations.

The man you see me striving to be today is not the man I was 15 years ago. I was once considered a lost, hopeless wayward man with no goals in life. However, by the greatness of God’s grace, I was able to transform my life by hearing the message of The Million Man March. My first step toward this greater journey was by the process of atonement.

I didn’t know, at the time, that I was just taking the first step towards a larger-lifelong journey with a servant of God as my personal guide. Through the years of my journey I have been able to make something better out of my life, but I still see the need for further improvements. My life is a small example that you can be down, but with God’s grace you can be raised up from ignorance. My life’s motto is what they say in the church: “God is not through with me yet.” I continue to work daily to improve myself and others who come in my path.

Since my journey began, I have made the following changes:

#1 I earned my GED after dropping out from high school.

#2 I entered college to achieve “higher education” .

#3 I developed a personal relationship with my Creator.

#4 I have become active in my community through mentor-ship, volunteering and sharing my story of redemption.

#5 I was able to become a Student in the Ministry, something I could have never foresaw in a million years, which allows me to touch many with a word which can do for them what it did for me.

There are many more accomplishment I have achieved which space won’t permit. I am thankful to ALLAH everyday for giving me a new lease on life and a chance to study and show myself approved.

I would like to invite you at this time to journey with The Hon. Louis Farrakhan as he shows us the way to attain a personal relationship with our Creator and thus fulfill the purpose for our creation.

Islam teaches that death is simply a doorway into the third stage of someone’s life and that when they are dying, their soul (ruh) rises in their body and collects in their throat. Their soul is then removed from the body by an angel named Malikul Mawt.

As the soul continues to live after death, it is important for Muslims to cleanse it prior to their death. For this reason, it is common to find friends and family members of a dying person around their death bed praying for Allah’s forgiveness and mercy in relation to any transgressions that the dying person may have committed.

Visits and prays prior to death are just the beginning of a process that is implemented for every Muslim in the final stages of their life. There are a range of preparations and customs that must be adhered to in accordance with Islamic law, that involve not only the family and friends of the dying person, but also the wider Muslim community.

Upon death, those present normally close the eyes of the deceased, bind the lower jaw to the head and cover the body with a clean sheet. The family then wash the body in accordance with Islamic rites and, unless a spouse is present, males must wash males and females must wash females. This usually takes place privately three or five times using water, soap and a cloth and, after washing, the body is shrouded with white material. Embalming is prohibited, as is an autopsy, unless required by law.

The next stage of the proceedings is the local community paying their respects to the deceased through public funeral prayers (Salat-ul-Janazah). These typically take place outside of a Mosque, with the coffin being placed on a stand in front of the lined up funeral goers, who may or may not have know the person in question. The purpose of these prayers, which are normally led by the most closely related male to the deceased, is to request pardons for all deceased Muslims.

The burial follows the completion of the funeral prayers, and is required by Islamic law to take place within three days of the actual time of death. Only men are permitted to attend the burial, and chosen members of the attending group must carry the body to the graveyard at shoulder level. A coffin may or may not be used, and if one is used then it must be made of wood rather than steel, as the aim is to allow the earth to reclaim the body in as short a time as possible.

Following the burial, for several days, people who knew the deceased will take gifts and food to the deceased’s family.

With origins dating back to 1853, E.F. Box are one of the oldest funeral directors within the UK. They offer a range of funeral services across a variety of faiths, beliefs and ways of celebrating life.
