This site is constructed for my two sons, who will be 16 in year 2005 and 2010 respectively. That is the age when i first started. InshaAllah it should be ready by then.
 

As we sat one day with the Messenger of Allah s.a.w., a man in pure white clothing and jet black hair came to us, without a trace of travelling upon him, though none of us knew him.

He sat down before the Prophet s.a.w. bracing his knees against his, resting his hands on his legs, and said: "Muhammad, tell me about Islam."

The Messenger of Allah s.a.w. said: 
"Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and to perform the prayer, give zakat, fast in Ramadan, and perform the pilgrimage to the House if you can find a way."

He said: "You have spoken the truth," and we were surprised that he should ask and then confirm the answer. 

Then he said: "Tell me about iman," 

and the Prophet s.a.w. answered:
"It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His inspired Books, is messengers, the Last Day, and in destiny, its good and evil."

"You have spoken the truth," he said, "Now tell me about ehsan,"

and the Prophet s.a.w. answered: "It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you see Him not, He nevertheless sees you."

Then the visitor left. I waited a long while, and the Prophet s.a.w. said to me, "Do you know, ‘Umar, who was the questioner?" 

and I replied,"Allah and His messenger know best." 

He said, "That was Gabriel, who came to you to teach you your religion"

(Sahih Muslim, 1.37: hadith 8).
