The Reward of person who helps widows. In Holy Quran
Abu Huraira Radi Allaho Anho reported that Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him said: One who makes efforts (for earning to be spent) on a widow and the destitute ( poor or needy) , is like a striver in the cause of Allah, and I think he also said: He is like one who constantly stands for prayer and observes fast without breaking it.

The Great Mosque of Djenné - The Largest Mud Brick Building in the World
The Great Mosque of Djenné is the largest mud brick building in the world. The mosque is located in the city of Djenné in Mali on the flood plain of the Bani River. It is one of the most famous landmarks in Africa. Along with the 'Old Towns of Djenné' it was dubbed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988.
The date of construction of the first mosque in Djenné is unknown but dates as early as 1200 and as late as 1330 have been suggested.
The walls of the Great Mosque are made of sun-baked mud bricks called 'ferey', a mud based mortar, and are coated with a mud plaster which gives the building its smooth, sculpted look. The walls are between 16 in and 24 in (0.4 to 0.6 m) thick. The thickness varies depending on the wall's height: taller sections were built thicker because the base has to be wide enough to support the weight. Bundles of deleb palm wood were included in the building to reduce cracking caused by frequent drastic changes in humidity and temperature and to serve as readymade scaffolding for annual repairs.
The walls insulate the building from heat during the day and by nightfall have absorbed enough heat to keep the mosque warm through the night. Gutters, made of ceramic pipes, extend from the roofline and direct water drainage from the roof away from the walls. Half of the mosque is covered by a roof and the other half is an open air prayer hall or courtyard. The roof of the mosque is supported by ninety wooden pillars that span the interior prayer hall. Vents in the roof are topped with removable ceramic caps, which when removed allow hot air to rise out of the building and so ventilate the interior.The date of construction of the first mosque in Djenné is unknown but dates as early as 1200 and as late as 1330 have been suggested.

The Great Mosque was constructed on a raised platform with a surface area of 5625 m² (62,500 ft²), which has so far protected the mosque from even the most severe floods. (Wikipedia).
Sayings of Prophet (P.B.U.H)
صدقہ بن فضیل، یحیی ، سفیان، سفیان کے والد، منذر، ربیع بن خثیم، حضرت عبداللہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے ایک شکل چار خطوں کی بنائی اور اس میں ایک خط کھینچا جو اس سے باہر نکلا ہوا تھا، اور اس کے دونوں طرف چھوٹی چھوٹی لکیریں اس طرف بنا دیں، جو حصہ اس مربع کے درمیان تھا، اور فرمایا یہ آدمی ہے اور یہ اس کی موت ہے، جو اس کو گھیرے ہوئے ہے اور وہ خط جو باہر کو نکلا ہوا ہے، اس کی دراز آرزویں اور امیدیں ہیں اور یہ چھوٹی چھوٹی لکیریں اغراض اور مصائب ہیں، اگر ایک سے بچ کر نکلا تو دوسرے میں پھنسا، اور اس سے نکلا تو پھر کسی اور میں پھنسا۔ (اس کی شکل یہ ہے)
صحیح بخاری:جلد سوم:حدیث نمبر 1340
61 - دل کو نرم کرنے والی باتوں کا بیان : (170)
امید اور اس کی درازی کا بیان اور اللہ تعالیٰ کا قول، کو شخص جہنم سے بچا لیا گیا اور جنت میں داخل کیا گیا تو وہ کامیاب رہا، اور دینوی زندگی صرف دھو کے کا سامان ہے، ان کو چھوڑ دو کہ کھائیں اور فائدہ حاصل کریں، اور ان کو درازی عمر کی امید ایمان سے روکتی ہے، عنقریب ان کو معلوم ہوجائے گا اور حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے فرمایا کہ دنیا پیٹھ پھیر کر جانے والی ہے، اور آخرت آنے والی ہے، اور ان میں سے ہر ایک کے لئے فرزند میں بھی آخر تکت فرزند بنو، دنیا کے فرزند نہ بنو، اس لئے کہ آج عمل کا دن ہے حساب کا نہیں، اور کل حساب کا دن ہوگا، عمل کا نہیں مزحزحہ مباعدہ کے معنی میں ہے ۔

The Prophet drew a square and then drew a line in the middle of it and let it extend outside the square and then drew several small lines attached to that central line, and said, "This is the human being, and this, (the square) in his lease of life, encircles him from all sides (or has encircled him), and this (line), which is outside (the square), is his hope, and these small lines are the calamities and troubles (which may befall him), and if one misses him, an-other will snap (i.e. overtake) him, and if the other misses him, a third will snap (i.e. overtake) him."

Featuring a Special Section – THE REVOLUTION
As an admirer of Inspire, the first English magazine on Jihad; produced by Al-Malahim media, the media arm of Al-Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula; one can observe that the magazine keeps getting better with each issue; Praise be to none but Allah.
While Japan was hit by a massive Tsunami after the earthquake, likewise; the Muslim world was hit by the Tsunami of Change. This is the central theme on which the current issue is based and carries articles by outspoken scholars such Sheikh Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Sheikh Anwar Al-Awlaki and Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Rubaish may Allah protect them all.
As the uprisings reach their fervor, and the Oppressors of Muslims, the Puppets of the West fall one after the other, we observe that the enemies of Islam, through their extensive media apparatus have unleashed a tide of propaganda to incapacitate the intellectual capacity of the Muslims to think of a Paradigm other than Democracy. It is heartening to see the Mujahid Scholars coming forward to expose the fallacy of the empty slogans of the West and score an intellectual victory.
This episode of Inspire begins with an article by Brother Yahya Ibrahim, debunking the presumptions of the West that the uprisings in the Middle East have marginalized Al-Qaeda.
This is followed by a really important article by Sheikh Abu Yahya Al-Libi, (may Allah protect him) in the Manhaj section wherein he highlights the Middle Path in the light of Qur’an and Sunnah and exposes the plots of the Enemies of Muwahideen, who attempt to redefine the Middle Path in the light of their desires and whims to lead us away from the Middle Path.
The issue also features interview of Sheikh Abu Hurairah (may Allah protect him), the military commander of AQAP, a fatwa on Yemen’s assistance and its people by Sheikh Abu Muhammed Al-Maqdisi (may Allah free him) apart from regular sections on Open Source Jihad and discussion on history and strategy.
May Allah reward all those who have contributed to this well assembled piece of guidance ; for all those who aspire to please their Lord…ameen.
