Mawlid Celebrations Continue in Houston Mosques

Some Houston-area mosques and Islamic schools are set to celebrate `Eid Mawlid with lectures, guest speakers and even a parade.

The events aim to celebrate the life and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) on the anniversary of his birth on the 12th day of Rabi al-Awwal, the third month of the Islamic calendar.

Sheik Mansoor Ali Rizvi, a graduate of the Imam Ali Howza Seminary in Los Angeles, will speak Sunday, Oct. 24 from 5 p.m. until Maghrib prayer at Masjid Al-Rasul in Houston’s Fifth Ward, located at 3204 Jensen Dr.

He said he would focus his talk on teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him). There will also be a children’s event from 5 – 5:45 p.m. Masks are required.

Rizvi said the mosque, which has just recently reopened following a year of COVID restrictions, is slowly getting back into the swing of offering programs and events for its congregants.

Other Houston-area Islamic institutions are finding ways to recognize the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) birthday, as well.

On Oct. 22, Masjid Al-Sabireen hosted a lecture entitled “Knowing and Loving Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him),” featuring Imams Qasim Khan and Tauqeer Shah. 

Parade

Islamic school Dawat-e-Islami in Sugar Land is hosting a Mawlid parade on Oct. 24 beginning at 2 p.m. following Dhuhr prayer for students and their families.

Finally, the Ibrahim Center will stage an event called “Celebrating the Beloved” at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30 in honor of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) mawlid.

The event will feature several presenters including Imam Khalis Rashaad, the spiritual director and community guide of the Ibrahim Center. Others include Sister Bibi Watts, nasheed artist Uthman Ames and percussionist Marlon Altan among others.

Registration is required to attend. For more information about how to sign up for this event, visit www.ibrahimcenter.org.

In addition to official programs at mosques or Islamic schools, some Muslims choose to celebrate `Mawlid privately at home, often with friends and family members. However, other Muslims consider the celebrations outside of the fold of Islam and do not celebrate or recognize the date.

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...
