Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) – Our Spiritual Guide

It was Muhammad (peace be upon him) who made us raise our eyes from the dust beneath to view the glory of the starry heavens above.  He led us from the depths of darkness to the grandeur of the light of God. 10 Teachings of Prophet Muhammad That Inspire Me The Prophet Muhammad was the one who led us to break our stone statues and wooden gods.  It was Prophet Muhammad who lifted us out of the filth of idolatry to relish the serenity of God’s transcendence. On the Night of Power in one Ramadan, the Quran descended on Muhammad (PBUH), and he received its first verses in the Cave of Hira. Thereafter the Prophet Muhammad taught us how to celebrate Ramadan through days of fasting and nights of prayer. To honor each day of Ramadan as a day of patient endurance through fasting, and each night as a night of gratitude through prayers. An Unexpected Transformation It was nothing short of miraculous how Prophet Muhammad reformed and refined those unruly tribes of Arabia...

7 Things Nullify Your Fasting

The things that void your fasting are seven. If you avoid them, you don’t have to worry about anything else. Because now you know that these seven nullify your fast, so anything else does not. Is My Fast Invalid if I Swallow Saliva? 1- Eating and Drinking Anything that goes into your stomach and through the mouth or through the nose, then this nullifies your fasting. Even if you swallow a stone, it nullifies your fasting. 2- Whatever Takes the Role of Food and Drink Such as the IV, if you have galactose for example that you can live for 3-4 days without eating and drinking, just because of this IV is going into your veins, this nullifies your fasting. This means that if I take antibiotics, voltarin shots, insulin, penicillin… anything that does not nourish me, and not take the role of eating and drinking, this doesn’t nullify your fasting. So, if someone says: “I have to take vaccines, does it affect my fasting?” No, it doesn’t. “I have to extract a tooth and the doc...

Iftar-to-go: This German Mosque Delivers Free Ramadan Meals

While Ramadan is the time for the peak of full religious devotions and getting close to Allah, the holy month also invites Muslims to be empathetic and lend a helping hand to the less fortunate.

Dois-je Abandonner ma Culture pour être Musulman

L’islam est une religion universelle, il respecte la diversité culturelle. C’est important parce que la culture de quelqu’un est ce qui aide à faire son identité. L’islam s’accompagne d’éléments importants qui façonneront également l’identité d’une personne. Tels que la morale et l’acte d’être un croyant à la place d’un mécréant. Des actes d’éthique, de morale, de valeurs , et même simplement de quoi porter, aideront à façonner ce que signifie être musulman. Malgré cela, cela ne vous empêche pas de vivre votre propre culture. Double Culture Lorsque vous décidez de devenir musulman ou êtes élevé musulman dans un pays non musulman, cela peut s’avérer difficile. Votre partie musulmane peut vous dire que pour être musulman, vous ne devez pas participer à la culture du pays dans lequel vous vivez. Le pays dans lequel vous vivez peut vous dire que pour en faire partie, vous devez renoncer à ce cela signifie être musulman. Si vous êtes français, marocain et musulman, vous ne devez lais...

Cuál es la Finalidad del Ayuno

Muchas personas comparan el ayuno con la sensación de sufrimiento. Que las prácticas religiosas son una carga. Sin embargo, Dios siempre ha dicho que no nos da más de lo que podemos manejar. Entonces, cada demanda religiosa que se nos pide, cualquier persona sana puede hacerlo fácilmente. El ayuno es una demanda que es perfectamente capaz de hacerse para individuos sanos. ¿Cómo Funciona el Islam con Limitaciones? Siempre hay misericordia para aquellos que no son capaces de realizar ciertas tareas. Durante las oraciones, si un individuo no puede seguir todos los movimientos de estar de pie, inclinarse y postrarse, se le permite hacer sus oraciones sentados. Si una persona es completamente incapaz de moverse, incluso un ajuste de orar y hacer un movimiento con los ojos es suficiente para Dios. Es lo mismo para el ayuno. Ya sea que alguien tenga una enfermedad crónica o que tal vez una mujer esté embarazada y no pueda ayunar debido a la seguridad de su hijo, también existen alter...

Can I Follow Recorded Quran Recitation in My Taraweeh?

Question I usually go to Mosque for taraweeh and enjoy the recitation. Now I can’t do that because of this coronavirus. My Husband doesn’t know too many surah s to lead. Can I listen to Quran recitation from the internet or from my smartphone and follow or pray taraweeh ? Answer It breaks every Muslim’s heart to find himself or herself deprived of the Quranic spirit of Ramadan. How to Apply Islamic Legal Maxims to COVID-19 Queries In taraweeh , we stand behind a qari (reciter) who reads the Quran melodiously; it is one of the most intensely spiritual experiences of Ramadan that most Muslims look forward to. Of course we can pray taraweeh at home with whatever surah s we know. However, that is not the same as listening to a qari leading us in taraweeh , unless you are a qari who can read the Quran (from memory) melodiously. Sadly, this is not the case for the vast majority of people. So how do we find a way to compensate for what we are missing during this pande...

4 Distractions to Avoid During Lockdown

For many people, Ramadan is treated like the start of a new year. Just as people have new year’s resolutions, they have Ramadan “resolutions” as well. 4 Toxins to Battle in Ramadan (Exclusive Video) Many of us decide to use the month of Ramadan as a way to break bad habits and develop good ones, and we try to keep up these changes even after the month is over. However, like with new year’s resolutions, it can be difficult to keep up the positive changes for long. Halfway through the month of Ramadan, some people start losing their enthusiasm and getting distracted by all sorts of things. This year, with masjids being closed and all of us being in the midst of a global pandemic, it might be even more difficult for us to stay focused. It is important to identify the problem now so it will be easier to avoid, especially because we do not want to miss out on the immense blessings of this month. Here are some of the big distractions to watch out for this Ramadan: The News ...
