Manchester Hosts Muslim Golf Day

A golf club in Manchester will host a “Muslim Golf Day” on Friday, May 28, inviting golfers from Manchester, London, and Scotland to participate in the special interfaith event.

The event is organized by the Muslim Golf Association (MGA), a dedicated golfing platform that caters to Muslim golfers.

Hosted at Worsley Park Golf Club, Friday’s event is not limited to Muslim golfers as non-Muslims are also invited to take part.

“I’ve been fortunate to go to a lot of golf clubs and I noticed that as a brown face, you weren’t always welcome,” Amir Malik, 37, the founder of MGA, told Manchester Evening News.

“Also, I found that I couldn’t get involved in the social scene in terms of sitting and drinking alcohol at a bar and when it came to praying, you almost had to go hide and pray.

“I was so intrigued to see how many more Muslims were in golf, and that was my inspiration to set up the MGA and we now have over 300 people in our database and play at a very good level.”

Islamic Values

The day will run on Islamic values, offering only halal food. No alcohol or gambling will be allowed during the day which will see prayer arrangements for golfers.

The tournament will mark the first of three tournaments in the MGA’s Race to Arden sponsored by READ Foundation.

Following the event at Worsley Park GC, the circuit will move onto The Shire in London before concluding at the Forest of Arden in Birmingham.

The Muslim Golf Association was founded in 2020 by Amir Malik. It is the world’s first dedicated golfing platform that caters for the modern, professional, Muslim golfer.

The Association has been created to provide a unique platform where Muslims can enjoy golf at world class venues, network & socialize, but most importantly, be inspired.

The MGA plans to host multiple tournaments, competitions and Golf days across the UK & the world.

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...

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...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
