World Leaders Send Eid Al-Adha Wishes to Muslim

US President Joe Biden and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have joined the chorus of world leaders congratulating the world’s Muslims for Eid Al Adha celebrations.

Stressing the significance of `Eid as a “great holiday” of Islam, Biden conveyed his and Jill Biden’s best wishes to all Muslims celebrating the feast – particularly in the US.

“In the United States, we are proud to be home to millions of Muslims who enrich our nation’s cultural fabric and contribute to our shared prosperity,” Biden said.

“We value the countless contributions American Muslims make to our society, from education and healthcare to business and public service.” 

Biden added that the presence of Muslim communities strengthens America’s commitment to cultural diversity and religious freedom.

“We value the countless contributions American Muslims make to our society, from education and healthcare to business and public service. Their presence strengthens our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and religious freedom,” he added.

For his part, Canada’s PM Trudeau emphasized that the feast is a source of inspiration as it spreads different values.

“The values at the heart of Eid al-Adha – like sacrifice and giving – are also values at the heart of Islam,” he said.

Trudeau added that the Muslim holiday reflects on shared values of compassion, charity, and community service, recognizing the invaluable contributions Canadian Muslims have made to the country.

“Across the country, Muslim Canadians are stepping up for their communities. Whether it’s volunteering at organizations that support people in need, extending a hand to help your neighbours, or standing up for causes you believe in, Canada is stronger because of you and the contributions you make.”

More Wishes

British PM Rishi Sunak has also sent a message to Muslims on `Eid occasion. 

“As you come together to celebrate, `Eid Al-Adha reminds us of the importance of family, friends and community – as well as the vital role of faith in going above and beyond to make the world a better place for those around us,” he said.

“I want to pay tribute to the incredible contribution the Muslim community makes to the UK. And wish you and your loved ones health and happiness.”

Scotland’s First Minister Hamza Yousuf also wished the Muslims in the country and around the world a happy `Eid.

“For Muslims all over the globe, it is an important time to reiterate the values of devotion, thanksgiving and charity. `Eid Mubarak,” the Pakistani-origin Scottish leader wrote.

United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres gave his best wishes to the Muslims on the occasion.

`Eid Al-Adha, or “Feast of Sacrifice”, is one of the two most important Islamic celebrations, together with `Eid Al-Fitr.

`Eid begins with special prayers to mark the day. Muslims then offer udhiyah, a ritual that commemorates the great act of sacrifice Prophet Ibrahim and his son Isma`eel.

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 ...
