Muslim Cyclist Travels Across 10 Countries to Raise Awareness on Global Warming

Environmental sustainability is very important in Islam. Thus, preserving environment is grounded in honoring the relationship between oneself, Allah, and Allah’s creation. 

Allah says in the Qur’an, It is He who has appointed you vicegerent on the Earth … (Qur’an, 6:165)

In what seems to be in line with the above Quranic verse, a French Muslim cyclist has arrived Turkey in his global trek across 10 countries to raise awareness about global warming and its dangers, particularly among Muslims.

Nabil Ennasri, 41, a French citizen of Moroccan descent, began his biking trek in Paris and is due to finish his journey in the holy city of Makkah, Saudi Arabia, Anadolu Agency reported.

Starting his journey on April 22, Ennasri reached Turkey after cross through 10 countries, travelling 2,850 kilometers (1,771 miles) so far.

“My goal is to warn people, particularly the Muslim community, about global warming and about the fact that we have to face this most important challenge of our generation,” he explained.

The cyclist entered Turkey from Edirne, a Turkish city in the west of Istanbul. He was very excited to retrace the traditional journey of Muslim pilgrims.

Praising Edirne’s Selimiye Mosque, he called it “one of the most beautiful mosques in Türkiye and an important Islamic heritage site.”

“So, history is going to speak to me now personally. Hence, I am living every moment of the historical Ottoman Empire, which played a great role in Muslim history.”

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.

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...
