Fife and Edinburgh Muslims Help Community During Pandemic

Members of Edinburgh and Fife’s Muslim community are leading huge efforts to help their community put food on the table during the coronavirus pandemic.

“We really appreciate the hard work and support provided to people in Fife from the foodbanks in Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline, and Linton Lane Centre,” said Dr. Abdul Hayee, vice president of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Edinburgh and Fife, Fife Today reported.

“We also are very grateful for the hard work of Fife Council during the pandemic, especially their bin crews, Fife Fire and Rescue Service, and Royal Mail workers.

Working under the motto ‘Love for All, Hatred for None’, members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Edinburgh and Fife have been working tirelessly to help the less fortunate during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The group has also made food donations to the homeless, delivered supplies to foodbanks and sent small gestures of thanks to frontline workers across all sectors.

Its members also worked to collect and make donations of food to the Kirkcaldy Foodbank and Linton Lane Centre, as well as foodbanks in Cupar, Dunfermline, and Rosyth.

Gratitude

They also sent gestures of gratitude to frontline workers including NHS staff at the Covid testing center in Glebe Park Neighborhood Centre in Kirkcaldy, Fife Council bin men, and Royal Mail posties.

“This is a challenging time for many of us, including frontline workers across all roles, who have given so much to their communities throughout the coronavirus pandemic,” Dr. Abdul Hayee said.

“I am very pleased that our charity can help and support some of those who carry out critical work and are helping to protect us.”

Islamic charities and Muslim communities around the world have stepped in with efforts to help the less fortunate during this difficult time.

Earlier this year, members of Canterbury’s Muslim Cultural Centre rallied to donate food hampers to frontline workers.

The donated hampers included chocolate, sweets and a thank you letter to the frontline workers.

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...
