“I value the feedback and will look at what needs to be put into action to improve the young people’s experience across all our programs,” he added. 

“I would like to congratulate all my staff and volunteers who work tirelessly in helping the young people of Blackburn with Darwen. Keep up the great work you all are doing for the future generations.”

Amazing Work

The award winners have to demonstrate dialogue with young people which leads to change. Young people should also speak positively about the support they receive from the organization.

Currently, there are over 500 IiC members across the UK.

“This is the first time IMO Charity have applied for the Investing in Children Membership Award so it was a real pleasure to travel to Blackburn to find out about the amazing work the organization does and the range of young person led projects which they are involved in,” Chris Affleck from the Investing in Children (IiC) said.

The membership report says: “The young people spoke very positively about the support they receive from the staff and how the organisation really does what the name says, it Inspires and Motivates young people to Overcome challenges they may face within their community. 

“They’re really good and helpful, they talk to you, I really like the staff, they try to get you to do new stuff and if we don’t like an activity they try to change it so you like it.”

In Islam, Muslims should treat children with respect and to nurture, love and educate them.

Raising children is a challenge, regardless of location, nationality, or faith. Furthermore, raising children who grow to love Islam and adhere to its tenets can be difficult, no matter where they reside.

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.

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 ...
