A questioner asks if he can meet his spouse before walima? The families have agreed that they won’t meet until after the walima. Once the Nikkah has taken place then technically speaking they are a married couple. There is no sin on them once the nikkah has taken place, if they are alone and are intimate. However, many find they are caught in the middle of Shariah’s allowance of them being able to do whatever they like and the family’s expectations of what they should do. If the couple do the nikkah and then decide to divorce and they haven’t met each other alone, there is no iddah period and the mahr will be lower. If they have been intimate with each other there has to be an iddah period and the full mahr will have to be paid. If you have gone behind your parent’s back at this stage then it will be a little awkward for you if a divorce does take place before the walima. It is not wrong in the eyes of shariah to meet up together and be intimate together after Nikkah. There will be...

We will stand together during this difficult time for them.” The initial goal is to collect $100,000 for the mosque in Noel, which was primarily used by Somalian refugees who have settled in the city since 2009. “We hope...

The ancient stoics believed that we suffer more from imagination than from reality. But these days, even our imagination could not have conceived of all that has happened in recent years: A pandemic, a devastated economy, a climate crisis, your in-laws, and more. There is plenty to be anxious about.  Anxiety disorders are common, can be serious, but are ultimately treatable. Anxiety is not a choice. It is our body’s natural response to stress and it does not matter whether that stress is real or perceived. Stress is stress.  How Can I Deal with Toxic People Around Me? Here are eight simple antidotes to help you deal with your anxiety.  1 – Do not romanticize your anxiety Identify the causes of your stress and anxiety, don’t mythologize or politicize it. If you are dealing with financial problems or an abusive relationship, do not make it about the Israeli occupation or global warming or some other existential crisis because you need an apocalyptic cause t...

“This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed my favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.” (Qur’an Ch.5, v.3 ) Malcolm X said , “A race of people is like an individual man; until it uses its own talent, takes pride in its own history, expresses its own culture, affirms its own selfhood, it can never fulfill itself.” This doesn’t pertain to just any race, but rather any group of people with a shared identity. Following a large number of Muslims immigrating to Canada from Muslim-majority countries in the 80’s and 90’s, today Canadian Muslims comprise more than 3.2% of the country’s population.

Being able to understand the Arabic of the Quran directly is a dream come true for any Muslim, especially the one who yearns to become closer to their Creator. 5 Practical Steps to Understand Quran There was a time when I would sit with the Quran  mus-haf  in my hands, looking intently at the Arabic script, tears of frustration and longing flowing from my eyes, because I earnestly desired to be able to understand the Arabic of the Quran directly, without needing a translation. Why, you might wonder? Why is a translation not enough? Well, for starters , the Quran did not exist in the form of a hand-held book during the life of Prophet Muhammad. It existed only as a verbal  kalaam  (spoken word) of Allah, which was memorized in its entirety, verbatim i.e. by listening and repetition. The gradual memorization of the Quran was reinforced by its daily recitation in prayer by the Muslims who dwelled in Arabia at that time. This method – listening to the ...

I had everything I needed. I had a good job. And I had my own apartment. So, I was successful according to our worldly standards. I should have been happy. Everything was going well. My Journey Through Spiritual Truth However, I felt empty. A strange emptiness . I was a Christian but Christianity was not able to fill this burning emptiness. When my long term relationship did not work out, this emptiness inside my heart turned into a huge black hole that was ready to swallow me.   Just One Muslim I am from a small town in Mexico, about 1,5 hour drive from Mexico City. There are no Muslims in this town. All I knew about Muslims and Islam was from the media . I believed that they were basically all terrorists and that nothing good could come from them. However, I had one Muslim friend. She had converted to Islam several years before and moved away from Mexico. She was married to a Muslim man and had already children. So she was the one who stood by me in my most difficu...

Los cinco pilares del Islam son las base sobre la que se cimienta el Islam. Estos cinco pilares reúnen todo lo que tiene que creer y hacer un musulmán.  Los cinco pilares son: la Shahada , o declaración de creencia; el Salat , las cinco oraciones diarias prescritas; el Zakat , entregar un 2.5% de la riqueza acumulada a los pobres si esta supera un mínimo; el ayuno de Ramadán , que es ayunar durante un mes lunar completo desde las salida hasta la puesta del sol; y el Hajj , o la peregrinación a La Meca una vez en la vida si se tienen los medios y la salud. El primer pilar del Islam: La Shahada ¿Qué ha aportado el Islam a mi vida? La Shahada reúne en dos frases lo esencial de la creencia de los musulmanes, por eso se la conoce como la declaración de creencia.   La declaración de creencia es: Ash-hadu an la Ilaha Il-la Allah -atestiguo que no hay dios excepto Allah- wa ash-hadu an-na Muhammad rasulu Allah -y atestiguo que Muhammad es el Mensajero de Allah-. ...

Certes, c’est une toute petite phrase – ‘Astaghfiroullah – qu’on a appris dès notre enfance. Mais, connait-on les bienfaits de l’Istighfâr ? Dans la vie du musulman, tout ce qui compte est d’obtenir l’agrément divin . Pourtant, les péchés nous empêchent de s’attirer cet agrément. C’est là donc qu’intervient l’Istighfâr . A vrai dire, l’Istighfâr nous débarrasse de nos péchés et nous aide à atteindre le paradis. Mais qu’en est-il des autres bienfaits qu’il nous procure? Allah donne toujours plus que ce que nous demandons. Nous demandons le pardon, et Allah nous donne huit choses en contrepartie! 1- Implorez le pardon de votre Seigneur, car Il est grand Pardonneur. (Coran 71:10) Nous péchons jour et nuit, et Allah nous pardonne jour et nuit. Le pardon d’Allah est immense. Le Prophète (Sallah Allah Alayhi Wa Sallam) a dit: « Allah étend Sa Main la nuit pour agréer le repentir de celui qui pèche le jour et étend Sa Main le jour pour agréer le repentir de celui qui pèche la nuit. »...

More often than not, the idea of a perfect getaway or vacation is to go somewhere special and fancy, to have a well-planned trip somewhere great. Happiness is to Be Content With Little Semester breaks are considered boring if you don’t travel to another country or state. Weekends are dreary if you don’t have any plans to a mall with friends. For as long as I can remember, I had this exact same perception of the ideal holiday . My friends would travel here and there, and when they asked me, I’d go “oh, my holiday sucked because I didn’t go anywhere, I only stayed home.” I had to make sure I went to a mall every single weekend, at least and for no particular reason really. I find it quite funny how tables have turned almost completely now. I’d get excited and breathe a sigh of relief as the weekend or a break draws near. When I’m asked what my plans are, I gladly say “nothing.” Happy with Little I have come to the realization that the best thing to do in my free time is ...

In the Quran Jesus (PBUH) foretold that a prophet called Ahmad will come after him. Why does the Quran say Ahmad and not Muhammad? In the Quran Ahmad could be a name but it could also be a description. The word Ahmad in Arabic has a similar meaning to Muhammad. Muhammad means the one who is praised. Ahmad means the one who is more praiseworthy. The origin has been traced by some who thought that Jesus (PBUH) spoke Armenic rather than Arabic. This reminds us that Jesus (PBUH) spoke another language. It was obvious to Muslim commentators that Jesus (PBUH) was talking about another prophet after him.
