Finding the Purpose of the Quran

We all have wondered once what is the purpose of the Quran , is it just a book to follow rules? In this video,  Ustadha Taimiyyah Zubair  explains that the Quran’s revelation to the Prophet (PBUH) is the blessing  for all of us. We must dig deeply into it to understand its function and meaning. Reflecting upon the Quran is a must to keep inner peace and feel connected to Allah. Alongside reading the Quran, it is always very useful to learn about the context to put things in perspective. Sometimes you read the Quran and the verses aren’t meaningful to you. Later on you will come across a situation that will remind you of these verses and will help you to make sense of it inshaAllah. This is a book which we have revealed to you oh Prophet (PBUH) so that you bring people out of darkness into light. Light in arabic is “NOOR”, a word that is recurrent in the Quran. She explains that the Quran is for all of us, to shed light on our lives and the problems we will...

This Edmonton Islamic Center Is Doing Amazing Social Services

Un Prêtre Catholique : J’ai Maintenant Une Compréhension Claire D’Allah

Je m’appelle Idris Tawfiq, suis britannique, je vis en Égypte pour enseigner à l’Université Al-Azhar et je voyage partout dans le monde pour parler de l’islam. Comment J’ai Embrassé l’Islam Cela ne s’est pas vraiment eu lieu grâce à une seule chose en particulier. Mais cela s’est produit en conséquence d’événements, de personnes et de lieux. Je dis souvant aux gens que je n’ai d’abord pas compris Allah et l’islam, ni en lisant un livre, ni en regardant une émission télévisée sur une chaîne islamique, ni en écoutant un cheikh faire un discours, ni même en lisant le Coran… Mais c’est un petit garçon rencontré dans l’une des rues d’Egypte alors que j’étais en vacances qui m’a introduit l’Islam. Il m’a accueilli en disant : “Assalamou Alaykoum” ( Paix sur vous). Comprendre Allah Les Musulmans Aiment Aussi Jésus ! C'est Ce Qui M'a Fait Aimer l'Islam Allah nous envoie des messages, mais Il n’a pas de télécopieur. Donc, Il ne nous envoie pas de fax que nous rec...

Never Give Up – The Power of Hope in the Quran

Online dictionaries define hope as the feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen, or feeling that events will turn out for the best. How Islam Reduced My Fears Hope is something to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence. It is an ethereal quality that enables us to keep going in the direst of circumstances. We keep moving forward with optimism because hope allows us to envisage a better future or a good outcome. Never Give up Hope In the hustle and bustle of the twenty first century, hope often gives way to despair . Not because we no longer have reason to hope, but because we are so preoccupied and busy with affairs of this world that we do not give hope the chance to blossom. Actually God has supplied us with an unending supply of hope. And when we begin to feel the pangs of hopelessness, we need to remember that God gave us every reason to rely on Him and to hope for His forgiveness and His mercy. We should expect things to t...

Quitting Job For Kids; Will I Turn A Nobody?

“And then I turned into nobody.” Leena talks about moving from a high flying, well-paying job, to simply staying at home. Her family was mortified. As the eldest of seven siblings, and all of them either in University or already a professional, her mother’s disappointed resonated through and through while visitors came to see Leena and her second baby days after the birth. Leena had quit her job about a year and a half before because she could not stand sending her first born to a nursery anymore. “The disappointment was so obvious, especially when there were all these aunties asking how long my maternity leave would last.” She [Leena’s mother] could not bring herself to explain that her daughter was *just a housewife* and walked out of the conversations. “That expression of disappointment, of having a daughter who is a nobody, lasts with me forever.” Mothers Prioritizing the Home While it seems like the ideal Muslim family with the wife staying at home to take care of the child...

Who Are Muslim Crimean Tatars?

Prior to being incorporated into the Russian Empire, the Crimean Peninsula was independent under the  Crimean Khanate . The Muslim Turkic Crimean Tatars were under the influence of the Ottoman Empire, while also bordering an increasingly aggressive Russian Empire. In 1774, following the  Russo-Turkish War of 1768–74 , the Russian and Ottoman empires agreed to refrain from interfering with Crimean Khanate through the  Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca . In 1783, following the increasing decline of the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire annexed the Crimean Khanate In the USSR, it was often impossible to use the ethnic name “Crimean Tatar.” The Soviet authorities insisted that there was no such thing, just “Tatars” in general. The Crimean Tatars therefore understandably put the stress on “Crimean”. In fact, there is a growing movement to call “Crimean Tatars” (Qirimtatar, plural Qirimtatarlar).

The Night Journey – Why Exclusively For Prophet Muhammad?

Very often in life we go through periods of trial or great sadness, only to look back on them later and see that they were followed by great happiness or periods of growth. There is a saying in English that “sunshine follows the rain”. The Night Journey - A Journey Like No Other (Folder) In the tenth year after the first revelation of the Quran, Prophet Muhammad suffered greatly. First of all, his uncle Abu Talib died. He had loved the Prophet dearly and had protected him from the attacks and the ridicule of the Quraish. To Muhammad , it was a very severe blow. Then another tragedy followed. His beloved wife, Khadijah died. Muhammad was grief stricken at such a loss. It was after both of these events that Allah Almighty granted His Prophet an extraordinary favor. Out of the darkness of loss, Muhammad was given a great joy and a great confirmation of his role as Messenger. In the Quran we read what means:   Glory to Allah who did take His Servant for a Jour...

Consejos para incrementar nuestro amor por lo Divino

Dios es amor. Esta es una frase que los cristianos repiten con frecuencia. Pero es una realidad que también los musulmanes deberían entender. Dios, Allah (SWT), se llama a sí mismo Al Wuduud, un término superlativo que se traduce como Aquel que está lleno de bondad amorosa, el más Amoroso. Allah es el creador, dueño y quien da amor. Conecta los corazones con el amor que pone en ellos. Nos acerca a Él poniendo amor en nuestros corazones por Su mensajero y Su mensaje . Y Allah es, sin lugar a dudas, el Amoroso. Por lo tanto, es lógico que si todo el amor se origina en quien es el Creador, Dueño y Quien da amor, busquemos el amor de Allah primero y siempre. No podemos dar amor a los demás cuando nuestros propios corazones están vacíos. Primero hemos llenar nuestros corazones con la fuente del amor. Para algunas personas, amar a Allah o incrementar el amor por lo Divino puede ser un concepto extraño. Así que tenemos que bajar este concepto a la tierra y ver si podemos entender el amor...
