YouTube Channel Uses Cartoons to Educate Burton Community on Islam

In different countries across the world, online classes and activity-based learning are becoming a reality in the 21st century.

For the Muslim communities living in the west, they could provide an importance source of learning about true Islamic faith.

A Muslim woman from Burton, North West of London, has launched a new YouTube channel to educate Muslims and non-Muslims on Islam.

Kicking it off on Thursday, June 18, Serina Yates set up Burton Dawah Channel.

On this channel, she will post short animated videos for Islamic history and stories about Muslim prophets.

“The aim of the YouTube channel is to integrate the community by running motivational Islamic lectures,” Yates told Derby Telegraph.

“I want to air programs to promote the understanding of the true essence of Islam and not to judge Islam by how it is portrayed in the current climate.

“Through the animation videos we will highlight role models and promote their cause. Also deliver purposeful videos for both children and adults.

“We will promote Islamic blogs which aid into understanding Islam.”

Working Together

Serina, who moved to the UK from Guyana in 1984, also runs Sunshine Day Nursery in Branston Road.

She hopes the new channel will encourage communities to work with members of other religious backgrounds to encourage togetherness.

“Moving forward I want to provide a platform to discuss current and topical issues,” the mother-of-four said.

“Ultimately the message is to bridge communities into one big family, have conversations on events happening in the world and look to contribute to our society in a positive and impactful way.”

The Burton channel is not the first to target Muslim children.

In October, 2019, YouTube animated song channel for kids, Jamil and Jamila, was launched in Toronto.

The Jamil and Jamila channel features content that children and parents can watch together – songs about family, kindness, gratitude to God, as well as funny, silly songs and timeless children’s classics.

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...
