Muslim Organizes Ironman Night Run for Nephew Battling Cancer

Inspired by his nephew to help others fighting cancer, Abbas Ibrahim, a Muslim man from Bolton, will be running the Ironman 5K Night Run on Friday.

Ibrahim was inspired to run the charity event as his nephew, Muhammad Eesa Ibrahim, is currently undergoing chemotherapy after a successful removal of his brain tumor.

The 7-year-old was diagnosed in January 2023, The Bolton News reported.

“He has been through a lot this year and looks up to me as a role model,” Abbas said.

“I am the youngest uncle, so I spend a lot of time with him. He’s my little lion.”

Young Eesa, who cannot attend school due to fear of infection, will attend the end of the run for his uncle.

Thank You

The uncle sees the run as a chance to thank NHS staff at The Christie and Manchester Children’s Hospital for their treatment of Eesa.

“Eesa loves Marvel superheroes especially Ironman so he’ll like that I’m doing something called the Ironman,” Abbas said.

“The medal I get for finishing it will be going to him.

“I want to thank to all the hospitals that have supported him and have done so much for him, so I decided to raise this money for them.”

“It’s been really difficult for his mum and dad. It’s been a bumpy road and heart-breaking for them to see their son go through so much.”

There are many texts in the Qur’an and Sunnah which point to the virtue and great reward of those who are patient and state that Allah will give them reward without measure.

Allah say in the Qur’an, Surah al-Baqarah verse 155, “And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As- Saabiroon (the patient)”

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 ...
