10am Saturday 23rd July 2016 - Central London The UK government has not done enough to offer safe sanctuary to Syrian Child Refugees. Many UK & EU politicians are trying to demonise these victim’s of war & hunger. Show solidarity by saying Refugees Welcome in UK. UK Government now agreeing to let in a few child refugees, but it’s not going to happen until about Christmas 2016. Meanwhile, these kids live in dreadful conditions exposed to criminal gangs & traffickers. If you can offer financial or material help please do so. Thousands of young children 1,500 miles from London are suffering their 5th year of disenfranchisement and poverty. If you can join in the convoy it makes it a more powerful statement.

Last week the Tory government voted against allowing 3000 Syrian child refugees into Britain. Tories won this vote by a very slim margin 294 to 276. Lord Lou Dubs (himself a child refugee rescued in WW2) has put forward an amendment which means that The House of Parliament will vote again on this issue early next week. We must win this vote to offer safety to Syrian children. Europol, the EU’s criminal intelligence agency, estimated in January 2016 that 10,000 children had gone missing after arriving in Europe, warning that many had been taken by criminal gangs. You can help by persuading MP’s to vote “Yes” to #3000children by: Sign Lord Dubs online petition “Britain must not turn its back on child refugees in Europe” Sign and share https://petition.parliament.uk/ Write to your MP asking them to vote “Yes” for #3000children into UK It takes just 2 minutes to do. https://speakout.38degrees.org.uk/campaigns/refugee-children...

Some 95,000 unaccompanied children are now in the EU. Europol, the EU’s criminal intelligence agency, estimated in January 2016 that 10,000 children had gone missing after arriving in Europe, warning that many had been taken by criminal gangs. Urgent action is needed to persuade the UK government to offer some 3,000 of these child refugees safe haven from hunger, pain and exploitation. Last week Mr Cameron’s Tory government defeated by a slim margin 294 to 276 the immigration bill amendment to let 3,000 unaccompanied minors into UK. Lord Lou Dubs a Labour peer who himself was saved as a child refugee in the 2nd World War has now tabled an alternative proposal, which will be debated in the Lords on Tuesday 3rd May. The Dubs proposal may then be debated in Parliament next week. In order to bring pressure on Mr Cameron, Lord Dubs has launched an online petition which... Read more →

“Allah Guides to His Light Whom He Wills.” (Surah An-Nur) 6 Dhul Hijjah 1436 Taqwa from the Heart - and the Remaining Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah Bismillah-ir Rahman-ir Raheem. This week is a very special week. Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) swore in the Qur’an by the ten days of Dhul Hijjah, when He said in Surah Al-Fajr (1-2): “By the dawn. And [by the] ten nights.” Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasalam) also mentioned that there are no days in which Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) loves good deeds in more than the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. As we are already in the ten days of Dhul Hijjah, this week is very important. This week will contain within it three khutbahs (sermons): a special khutbah for the hujjaj (Hajj pilgrims) on Wednesday, the day of Arafah; Eid khutbah on Thursday and Jummah Khutbah; making for three days of Eid and...

Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta, was a Moroccan Muslim scholar and traveler. He is known for his travelling and going on excursions called the Rihla. His journeys lasted for a period of almost thirty years. This covered nearly the whole of the known Islamic world and beyond, extending from North Africa, West Africa, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe in the West, to the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and China in the East, a distance readily surpassing that of his predecessors. After his travel he returned to Morocco and gave his account of the experience to Ibn Juzay. Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta, was born in Tangier, Morocco, on the 24th of February 1304 C.E. (703 Hijra) during the time of the Marinid dynasty. He was commonly known as Shams ad-Din. His family was of Berber origin and had a tradition of service as judges. After receiving... Read more →

In todays world there are a highly motivated minority who want to abuse the Messenger and his followers. Most of these misguided people use their mainstream media ownership and contacts to get their mischief spread around the world. Do not get angry, get even by promoting Islam. Use the attention created to tell the world #WhoIsMohammed? There is huge interest now in Mohammed and Islam worldwide, thanks to Islamophobic mainstream media. Let’s use this interest to tell the world #WhoIsMohammed? and why we are devoted to him and love him above all others.

Piety On the authority of Wabisah bin Ma`bad (may Allah be pleased with them), who said that the Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Ask your heart regarding Piety. Piety is that which contents the soul and comforts the heart, and sin is that which causes doubts and perturbs the heart, even if people pronounce it lawful and give you verdicts on such matters again and again."

When a person puts themselves forward to represent other people in public office, it’s imperative that the people they represent know exactly how they vote on every issue affecting their lives. Secret ballots invite bribery and corruption because public servants (politicians) can be influenced, bribed or black mailed by powerful vested interests, who wish to skew the outcome of ballots in a certain direction. As far as I am aware from my extensive travel to many Muslim countries and some research on this matter, Muslim communities historically had open voting. The exceptions being matters of sensitive national security which requires secrecy and therefore are decided behind closed doors. In order to bring more clarity and gravitas to this matter established and recognised Muslim Scholars are invited to please put forward their understanding, which can be posted online by Sharia Times. Please email submissions to [email protected] Related articles Modi bets on... Read more →

اللهم بك اصبحنا و بك امسينا و بك نحيا وبك نموت واليه النشور Allahuma bika asbahna wa bika amsayna wa bika nahya wa bika namoot wa ilayhi al nushoor O Allah by Your leave we have reached the evening, by Your leave we have reached the morning, by Your leave we live and die and to You is our return. A simple but highly powerful dua... Every morning and every new day is a blessing from Allah swt. Every breath that we take is a blessing yet we take this all for granted... We act as if our days belong to us and that we own what is to come when the reality is that we don't even own the oxygen that we need to simply stay alive. And remember when your Lord proclaimed, if you are grateful, I will surely increase you in favour but if you deny, indeed... Read more →

In a distant age and climate the tragic scene of th death of Hussain will awaken the sympathy of the coldest reader - Edward Gibbon 1911 The benefits of Muharram are too many to mention in this humble message but the 10th of Muharram and the death of Al Hussain cannot be gone without a mention. حسين مني وانا من حسين Hussain is from me and I from Hussain - RasoolAllah sAllahu 'alayhi wa salam This closeness of the Prophet to Al Hussain (his grandson) is indisputable and therefore this memory of what happened cannot be forgotten. We often talk about past events and people as mere history, forgetting that they breathed, talked, ate, laughed and cried just like you and I. The difference is that their lives were encompassed by taqwa and void of worldly yearnings. Al Hussain said that the most merciful person is the one who forgives... Read more →

Everyone starts his day and is a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or bringing about its ruin (Muslim).. Words of RasulAllah sAllahu 'alayhi wa salam. Our impatience with everyone and everything around us creates an unbeatable fast pace which we cannot keep up with. The constant stress of running around, doing this and that is drains us physically and spiritually. Our prayers become rushed, we don't take the time to reflect or remember Allah swt. How have we allowed ourselves to become like this? The patience that I'm talking about isn't the patience that you have when faced with a problem or calamity... It is an inner peace that allows you to self reflect, evaluate thus becoming patient with yourself and your connection with Allah swt. واستغينوا بالصبر والصلوة وانها لكبيرة الا على الخاشعين And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed it is difficult except for...

Eid al-Adha meaning "Festival of the Sacrifice", also called the Feast of the Sacrifice. It is the second of two religious holidays celebrated by Muslims worldwide each year. It honours the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael) as an act of submission to Allah swt (God) command. As Ibrahim was about to sacrifice Ismail, Allah swt intervened and provided Abraham with a lamb to sacrifice instead of Ismail. Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dul-Hijjah (the day after Day of Arafat) and lasts for four days. In the international Gregorian calendar the dates vary every year, falling approximately 11 days earlier each year. Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two Eid holidays, the former being Eid al-Fitr, which is celebrated at the end of Ramadan. Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a Sunnah prayer of two rakats followed by a sermon (khutbah).... Read more →

Two thousand miles away something amazing is happening.. Arafat. A day of Mercy, a day of forgiveness and a day of rebirth. It is also a place where Adam and Eve met (Arafat, in Arabic, means 'to acquaint') and it was the place that the Angel Jibreel came down to the Prophet Ibrahim, teaching him the rituals of Hajj. Labayk Allahuma Labayk Labayk la sharika laka labayk Inna al hamda wn n'mata Laka wal mulk Laa sharika lak Here I am in Your service O Allah, here I am Here I am, You have no partner, here I am Verily all praise and blessings are for You, and all sovereignity, You have no partner This is the talbiyah, the words that the pilgrims of Hajj repeat over and over again. The day 'Arafa' comes from the word Arf (fragrance). The mercy of Allah swt descends and covers all of those... Read more →

Pakistan Needs to Unite for Prosperity and Security Today Pakistani Muslims and non-Muslims need to unite and find a way to live their life, that doesn't undermine their religious principles and values. The Muslim Ummah today faces a huge dilemma in how to live their lives according to The Koran and the Sunnah of The Rasool Mohammed (sws) PBUH. This subject is normally the domain of the Ullema and Muftis. However, since these erudite and learned people and authorities are in some measure seeming to be failing to maintain the Ummah on the “straight path”, maybe it is time for an average Muslim layman to make some comments. Comments and observations arise from living amongst Muslims and non-Muslims and travelling extensively to many Muslim and non-Muslim communities in the world. Read more →

Spain may be considering a ban on burqas as part of the country's Citizen Security Law, Interior minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz told a press conference on Wednesday. According to Spain's 20 minutos newspaper, Diaz said that it was a "good moment" to obtain "a level of consensus" to introduce the ban into security reforms. The local government of Catalonia, which later this year plans to hold an independence referendum, has already made steps to ban the burqa and face-veils in the region. via www.worldbulletin.net Read more →

Geo media group controversy of blasphemy, unpatriotism, political manipulation is an issue which each and every Pakistani can control directly from their remote control or at the newspaper vendors stall. Normally Pakistani politics, current affairs agenda, wealth distribution and so on are totally immune from the demands of ordinary Pakistani’s and can be described as “no go zones”, for the man and woman on the street. The Elite who govern Pakistan largely ignore 99% of the population. Only at election time an openly cynical concern for the well being of the ordinary people of Pakistan is shown. Therefore, it is a rare occasion for the Pakistani to cast a vote which will definitely count. No Chief Justice, Returning Officer or ultra wealthy politician is able to take away or manipulate the Pakistani’s right to have a say. What happens to Geo is in the hands of the Pakistan population. If... Read more →

Last Saturday a group of blokes drove up from London to Bradford, entered mosques, confronted whomsoever they could find, and tried to intimidate Muslims. I was phoned yesterday to let me know what happened. It was reported in the Independent newspaper. Apparently, this is a group – calling themselves Britain First – that splintered from the British National Party – presumably because the BNP had gone soft. In the perverse mindset of such groups, they think they can intimidate their way to a different world – a fantasy world. They sensitively called their action a 'Christian crusade' and tried to exchange Qurans for Bibles in the mosques. They are not Christian. They do not represent any sort of Christian church. They also entertain fantasies about 'Britishness'. Britishness is not only what we inherit – it is what we create. via nickbaines.wordpress.com Read more →

Just like Pre-Genocide Rwanda, communal prejudice against religious minorities has now become a structural feature of Indian society. This state sponsored and institutionalized prejudice helps the elites to fulfil their political aims and gives a sense of collective identity to the masses. The origin of this prejudice lies in the myths which have been carefully nurtured by the majoritarian forces in India over decades. Myths fuel prejudice and prejudice gives rise to new myths. via bharatjournal.wordpress.com Read more →

The Sunni Ittehad Council on Wednesday declared watching Geo network’s TV channel as ‘Haraam’ (forbidden). In a press conference, SIC leader Sahibzada Hamid Raza and former senator Faisal Raza Abidi, Raza said that Geo TV had hurt the religious sentiments of millions by disrespecting the Holy personalities of Islam and therefore, watching the channels of Geo network was haraam. Raza said that the channel ridiculed the Islamic beliefs. He said that watching any channel disrespecting Islamic beliefs or taking part in any such programme is also against Islam. He demanded if YouTube could be banned for blasphemy, the same should be done against Geo TV. via www.pakistantoday.com.pk Read more →
