Mosque Distributes Almost 300 Food Parcels to Needy

`Eid Al-Adha is one of the biggest Islamic festivals of the year. Every year, after special prayers, Muslim families gather to perform the ritual slaughter of udhiyah and share `Eid festivities.

Sharing the blessings of `Eid with the community, a local mosque in Birmingham plans to deliver 270 food parcels to struggling families.

The parcels, distributed by Masjid Al Falaah, will include Qurbani meat donated by members of the community to those in need, Birmingham Mail reported.

“The rising cost of living has burdened our community to drastic levels of deprivation,” Adil Parkar, General Secretary of Masjid Al Falaah, said.

“We are thankful to our partner Islamic Relief UK who are helping us distribute this much-needed support to families who are not able to put food on their tables,” Parkar added.

“We hope that our little efforts will be accepted by our community and thank our donors and partners for taking up such an important task.”

The parcels include ice, pasta, flour, oil, sugar, salt, canned tuna, tomatoes, and vegetables. Volunteers will distribute parcels to homeless food shelters, refugees, domestic abuse survivors and schools throughout this week.

This is not the first effort by Masjid Al-Falaah to help the local community.

In January 2022, Masjid Al Falaah in Handsworth and Green Lane Masjid in Small Heath helped vulnerable families by distributing 1000 food parcels to the needy.

The mosque has also cooperated with a security company to help the homeless during Christmas season, releasing a song to raise money for their cause.

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...
