Halal Food Festival Comes to Birmingham This Month

Family friendly, ground-breaking Halal Food Festival is coming to Birmingham this month, bringing a fun filled tasty experience to the city.

This year’s indoor exhibition, to be held at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham on May 27-28, will showcase various sectors, such as fashion, finance, travel, and health and wellness.

“We are delighted to introduce the ‘Muslim Lifestyle Experience’ to our events,” a spokesperson for the festival said, Arab News reported.

“We believe this event will be a fantastic opportunity to bring together like-minded individuals and showcase the vibrant and dynamic Muslim culture.”

The concept of halal, — meaning permissible in Arabic — has traditionally applied to food.

Muslims should only eat meat from livestock slaughtered by a sharp knife from their necks, and the name of Allah, the Arabic word for God, must be mentioned.

Explore Muslim Lifestyle

The event is the brainchild of a team of young British Muslims, and it’s designed to create an experience that celebrates their culture, whilst also producing an opportunity for entrepreneurs within the Halal/Muslim industry to meet their target market.

It is also a great opportunity for other cultures to explore and experience diverse aspects of the Muslim lifestyle.

“With the growing demand for the halal market, the ‘Muslim Lifestyle Experience’ is a welcome addition to the already exciting lineup of the Halal Food Festival events,” organizers said in a statement.

It seeks to be “a celebration of diversity and will cater to a range of interests and age groups,” including a cookery theater, fashion and cultural art at the kids’ zone, and a food court.

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 ...
