Oldham Muslims Fight Domestic Violence on White Ribbon Day

Mosques, community organizations, and Leaders in Oldham came together on Monday, November 25, to commemorate International Domestic Violence Day and raise awareness of all forms of abuse, Oldham Chronicle reported.

“We need to raise awareness about domestic violence and how it is negatively impacting individuals and families in our communities, by sending a united message across to say it’s never right to use violence against women and children no matter what, we can help prevent it from happening,” said Kashaff Feroze from OAK Community Development.

The White Ribbon Day is usually marked on the 25th of November against domestic violence.

On Monday, Oldham Mosque Council, OAK Community Development, community leaders and businesses came together to say ‘we stand together’ against hate, domestic violence, and child grooming.’

During the event, the imams and mosque leaders said they will raise awareness against all forms of violence including domestic abuse, hate, bullying and child exploitation in their sermons. 

Mufti Helal from Oldham Mosque Council said, “Domestic abuse is a taboo subject within the community and one that is often overlooked.”

“Our mosques and Imams have a responsibility to educate and speak out about this detestable behavior, there is no room for it in our society.

“The Islamic teachings and the example set by Prophet Muhammad are clear in that it is a religious duty for men to treat their partners with mutual love and care and to stay away from oppression and ill-treatment of others,” he added.

Muslim scholars confirm that any form of domestic violence contradicts Islamic teachings.

Islam respects women and gives them equal rights. In many Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions (hadiths) there are references to the way how husbands should treat their wives. The original situation is to treat them kindly and gently.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres. En el Islam, las mujeres tienen la...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
