Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib

Hamza ibn ‘Abdul-Muttalib (Arabic: حمزة بن عبد المطلب‎) (c.566–625) was a companion and paternal uncle of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

His kunyas were Abu Umara (أَبُو عُمَارَةَ) and Abu Yaala (أَبُو يَعْلَى). He had the by-names Lion of God (أسد الله) and the Lion of Paradise (أسد الجنة), and Muhammad gave him the posthumous title Sayyid-ush-Shuhda ("Chief of the Martyrs").

Family

Hamza’s father was Abdul Muttalib ibn Hashim ibn Abd Manaf ibn Qusayy from the Quraysh tribe in Mecca. His mother was Hala bint Uhayb from the Zuhra clan of the Quraysh. His parents met when Abdul Muttalib went with his son Abdullah to the house of Wahb ibn 'Abd Manaf to seek the hand of Wahb’s daughter Amina. While they were there, Abdul Muttalib noticed Wahb’s niece, Hala bint Uhayb, and he asked for her hand as well. Wahb agreed, and Muhammad’s father Abdullah and his grandfather Abdul Muttalib were both married on the same day in a double marriage ceremony. Hence Hamza was the younger brother of Muhammad’s father.

Amir Hamza (Lashkar-e-Taiba)

Amir Hamza is the nomme de guerre of one of the founders of the Islamic militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba. The United States Treasury classifies Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) as a terrorist group. They have specifically listed Amir Hamza as a terrorist who they argue should be the target of International sanctions.

LeT infiltrates fighters into the portion of the disputed Jammu and Kashmir territory that is occupied by India. Hamza is believed to sit on its Central Committee. He is said to have negotiated for the release of other leaders, and to have led LeT's campaigns for charitable donations, and to have been the founding editor of LeT's official publication.

In 2002 Hamza published "Qalifa Da'wat aur Shafadat" (Caravan of Proselytizing and Martydom).

Bangla (band)

Bangla is a folk-rock band from Bangladesh. Formed by the popular indie musician Arnob, Bangla mainly blends the traditional Bangladeshi folk genres like Baul, Lalon together with western flavours like jazz, blues, rock etc. The band released its first album Kingkortobbobimurho in 2002. Over the years, the band has emerged as a prominent music group in the country and became one of the most sought after bands, especially among the urban youth listeners.

Formation

The formation of the band dates back to the late '90s when Arnob was a student of Visva-Bharati University at Santiniketan. Due to his interest in music, he casually formed a band with his friends in Santineketan in a motive to spread out Bengali folk songs. One day, Anusheh came to visit Shantiniketan, who was a family friend of Arnob. Anusheh, who was well trained on Indian Classical Music, subsequently accepted the invitation of Arnob and became the lead vocalist. On their visit to Lalon's shrine in Kushtia, Arnob and Anusheh met Buno, a close friend of Anusheh and a bassist. The trio performed together at a public concert in Kolkata Book Fair in 1999. Their performance received good feedback from the audience. The same year, Arnob moved to Dhaka. The band was then joined by Kartik, former guitarist of Prachayanat. and Shantanu on drums. Thus they came to be known as the band "Bangla". A year later, Nazrul, also an acquaintance of Anusheh, joined as the Dhol player.

Wudu

Wuḍūʾ (Arabic: الوضوء‎ al-wuḍūʼ IPA: [wʊˈdˤuːʔ]; Persian: آبدست‎‎ ābdast Urdu: وضوء‎ / ALA-LC: wuz̤ūʾ IPA: [wʊzuː]; Turkish: abdest; Albanian: abdest; Bengali: অযু ôzu; Indonesian: wudhu; Chechen: Ламаз эцар; Bosnian: abdest; Kurdish: destniwêj (دەست نوێژ)‎; Somali: weeso) is the Islamic procedure for washing parts of the body using water, typically in preparation for formal prayers (salat), but also before handling and reading the Qur'an. Wuḍūʾ is often translated as "partial ablution", as opposed to ghusl, or "full ablution".

Purification of the body and clothes is called taharah. To have taharah for the body, one should do either ghusl or wuḍūʾ.

Contentions

Muslims who are unable to perform the prevailing form of ablution, due to skin disease or a disability, are recommended to perform tayammum. Such an alternative form of ritual purity also be accepted in cases where one fears the acquisition of hypothermia in cold weather.

Basis in Quran and hadith

The Qur'an says "For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean." In regard to Muslims being required to be clean when handling and reading the Qur'an, the Qur'an says "Which none shall touch but those who are clean." The Islamic prophet Muhammad said that "Cleanliness is half of faith".
