concerned

I really want to get one done but wanted to make sure if it was permissable or not..and is there a difference between the acceptance of semi-permanent vs permanent tatoos? your comments would be much appreciated, thanks!

And this from an Ahle Sunnah wesbite: Hadhrat Zaid bin Arqam (Radhi Allahu Ta'ala 'Anhu) reported Allah's Messenger (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) as saying, "I am leaving among you something of such a nature that if you lay hold of it you will not go astray after I am gone, one part of it being more important than the other: Allah's Book, a rope stretched from heaven to earth, and my close relatives who belong to my household. These two will not separate from one another till they come down to the Pond, so consider how you would act regarding them after my departure." (Sahih Tirmidhi) Hadhrat Abu Dharr (Radhi Allahu Ta'ala 'Anhu) while holding the door of the Ka'ba, said that he had heard the Holy Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) say, "My family among you are like Noah's ark. He who sails on it will be safe, but he who holds back from it will perish." (Musnad Ahmad bin Hambal) Hadhrat Zaid bin Arqam (Radhi Allahu Ta'ala 'Anhu) said that Allah's Messenger (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) said of Sayyidina Ali (Radhi Allahu Ta'ala 'Anhu), Sayyidah Fatima (Radhi Allahu Ta'ala 'Anha), Sayyidina al-Hasan (Radhi Allahu Ta'ala 'Anhu) and Sayyidina al-Husain (Radhi Allahu Ta'ala 'Anhu), "I am war to him who makes war on them and peace to him whom makes peace with them." (Tirmidhi) - the tombs are not just bones, they are our Ahle Bait.......

The Quran beautifully describes those deviant sects that have only been created over the past 100 years or so (ie Salafi(LA), Wahbbi(LA)): Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom. 8 And of mankind are some who say: We believe in Allah and the Last Day, when they believe not. 9 They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not. 10 In their hearts is a disease, and Allah increaseth their disease. A painful doom is theirs because they lie.

Basically Imam Hussains sacrifice should have been a wake up call for all - you're either on the RIGHT path or the YAZIDI path. After this event there should have been no sects!! Thats what we're seeing today. Unity with followers of Yazid will never occur for Allah has sealed their hearts and they see nor hear not. Inshallah Imam Mahdi will take revenge for the injustice caused to the Shia, may Allah hasten his reappearance.

Ditto the above, he really breaks it down and tells it simply and keeps you captivated. Is it a new centre in Watford, as I remember ages ago there were talks of acquiring an old cinema/church?

(salam) Watched it on TV and was really good...shame about DM playing only repeats as he seems like a good mawlana. Also, what is the actual time start time for the program in watford?

Jazakallah, many thanks to all those who replied :)

(salam) Question regarding black magic. Should we believe this? What did the Imams say about this matter? What can one do to protect themselves? Any advice would be greatly appreciated... :(
