Windows Vista Registry Cleanup
The Registry is essentially a huge database of thousands of settings for Windows itself and most of your software. When you install or even use a program, it makes changes to the Registry, but when you uninstall something it often leaves junk behind, filling the Registry with garbage.
Luckily, there are a bunch of good Registry cleaners out there that will seek and let you destroy useless stuff.
We recommend the following Vista-compatible system utilities, available at Download.com
- Glary Utilities 2.2.1.63
- RogueRemover 1.16
- ToniArts EasyCleaner 2.0.6.380

Palmistry in Islam
Question :
Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum.
What is the teaching of Islam concerning palmistry? Is palmistry a truth or falseness? Are we allowed to practice it or to visit a palmist?
Jazakum Allahu khayran.
Answer (Sheikh Ahmad Kutty) :
Wa `alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear sister in Islam, we commend your pursuit of knowledge and your keenness to seek what is lawful and to avoid what is not. We earnestly implore Allah so that He would save us all from the traps of Satan and enlighten our hearts with the light of Islam.

Its eminent deviations from the basic Islamic principles are as follows:
1. Its founder claimed that he was a Prophet.
2. They deliberately distort the meanings of the verses of the Holy Quran.
3. They decalred that Jehad has been obolished.

Slaughtering animal in Islam
Question :
As-salamu `alaykum.
My question concerns halal meat.
As far as I know (please correct me as my knowledge on the subject is limitedl), the Qur'an does not describe exactly how an animal must be slaughtered and what words, if any, should be said when it is done. So how did the rules come about?
Also, is it acceptable to eat meat from the Children of the Book and say bismillah before eating if I have reasonable grounds to think that the animal was alive when killed (even if stunned) and was killed with a sharp blade without suffering?
Please answer in brief.
Answer (Sheikh Muhammad Nur Abdullah):
Wa `alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
