The Du’aa of Laylatul Qadr

Laylatul Qadr nights have come to embrace us …. alhamdulillaah 🙂

PS: Tonight (Friday) is the Fourth Odd (27th) Night in places where Ramadhaan commenced on 6th June.

——————————-

Qur’an motivates its readers to reflect upon its verses.

In fact reflection is one of the purposes of the Qur’an.

Let us reflect over the encouraged du’aa of Laylatul Qadr along with some related  aayaat (verses) of the glorious Book of Allah, Inshaaallah. 

As we enter the Blessed last Ten Days…..

Dear brothers and sisters, Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah.

Check out the new Home Page that is done in view of the Laylatul Qadr and the last Ten Days of Ramadhaan.

Jazakallaahu Khayra for visiting this blog. I am thankful to you for this honour.

All Praise belongs to Allah alone.

Sal-lal-laahu ‘Alaa Muhammad, Sal-lal-laahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam.

In view of Ramadhaan…..

As Ramadhaan is round the corner, I am changing the home page accordingly.

The purpose is to highlight the importance of the month even as I intend and pray to Allah that the message reaches far and wide across all continents wherever internet’s reach is there, Inshaa’Allah and bi-ithnillaah.

I request all my dear readers, brothers and sisters, to use the resources to the maximum, Inshaa’Allah.

Dubai International Peace Convention

Note: If you are not based in UAE, kindly ignore this post. 

PS: This programme is over.

Eid Mubaarak :)

Today, 10th Dhul Hijjah/15th October, is Eid al Adhaa in UAE and Saudi Arabia, to mention two countries 🙂

تقبّل الله منّا ومنك 

Ramadhaan starts on Wednesday

As per the official announcement, Ramadhaan commences on Wednesday, the 10th of July 2013, in U.A.E, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Egypt, Malaysia, Australia and Singapore. 

3 years, and miles to go before I die!

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakaatuh.

Alhamdulillah, this blog has completed three years since its launch and establishment.

When I initiated this blog, I was not sure how it will go but This is Only from the Grace and Mercy of My Lord that I am able to manage and keep the pot boiling.

I am extremely grateful to Almighty Allah for having blessed me with this expressive medium to write something out of the knowledge that He has provided me with. 

Seeking Allah in the Midlands

“A groundbreaking study by Cambridge University’s Centre of Islamic Studies (CIS) and the Leicester-based New Muslims Project provides a fascinating insight into the experience of women converts.”

“Most of them are independent career women — bankers, doctors, broadcasters — who know what they are doing, and often do so in the face of opposition from family and friends.”

I found this news report interesting and would like to share with you, Inshaa’Allah. Go, read it 🙂 

“There is no such thing as Uthmaanic Script”!

While discussing about the font or the print style of the Qur’an, Muslim individuals or websites normally refer to ‘Uthmaanic script. This is actually a misnomer.

The respected doyen of Arabic language, Dr V Abdur Rahim, says that “There is no such thing as Uthmaanic script. It is Uthmaanic Orthography, i.e., spelling system”.

So while translating Rasm Uthmaani, we need to translate as ‘Uthmaanic Orthography, and not as Uthmaanic script! For, there is a vast difference between the terms script and orthography. 

“The Court of Last Resort”

Press Council of India Chairman Markandey Katju on Sunday lashed out at media for “demonising” the entire Muslim community whenever bomb blasts occurred, and declared that he would not allow it to do such “devilish” things, reports India’s leading English daily The Hindu. Not only this, in an excellent article reproduced below, Mr. Katju has analysed the problem of Muslim youth languishing in Indian jails.

He has also announced about the start of an organisation called ‘The Court of Last Resort’.

As the initiative is for a noble purpose, all sections of Indian society must come forward to help and be a part of the solution, Inshaa’Allah. Especially, the Muslims of India, cutting across all organisational/political affiliations, must support this initiative.

We Muslims are enjoined to partake in social and societal work for a righteous cause. And with this intention, this article is reproduced here for the benefit of the readers of this blog:

Dubai Miracle Garden…Subhaanallah!

Love at first sight. Subhaanallah at first sight!

At the moment, this is the single most beautiful flower garden in the world! A miracle in the desert!!

Featuring over 45 million flowers in stunning designs and breathtaking shapes ­­— you’ve not seen anything like Dubai Miracle Garden.  It took 60 days, 400 people, 72,000 sqm of planted area to create this Miracle Garden.

We were stunned by the amazing beauty man can create through his creative prowess.

Presenting some reminders from the glorious Qur’an, and dazzling pictures, though I am not a shutterbug 🙂 

The relevance of Dr. Mahathir’s Letter to Barack Obama!

The Open Letter written by Dr. Mahathir Muhammad, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, to Barack Obama, the President of United States of America, on 1st January 2009, is still meaningful. Would Mr. Obama do some introspection? 

Eid Mubarak :)

Freedom of Speech and Double Standards!!

Another good article! Read on…..

Embassies are razed, diplomats are lynched, protesters have marched with unbridled aggression from east to west.  The Islamic world and the West once again finds itself at loggerheads arising from two conflicting principles, the right of ‘freedom of speech’ against the right to ‘defend one’s honour’.  What ensues is a repetitive discourse occurs between the two.

Eid on Sunday :)

As per the official announcement, Eid Al Fitr will be observed in the UAE on Sunday, August 19. 

Islam is Peace!

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

All praise, thanks and glory be to Allah and Allah alone. Alhamdulillah, the Dubai International Peace Convention was an amazing event.  May Allah bless the Organisers, the Dubai Government and the Al Manar Centre, with His choicest Blessings, both in this world and in the Hereafter. Aameen. May Allah reward the speakers, the voluneers, those who did hard work for the Science Model Exhibition/Peace Exhibition, and all those who contributed, directly or indirectly, towards the success of this mega Islamic event in Dubai. Aameen.

I plan to scan some of the pages, InshaaAllah,  from the souvenir for the purpose of education and dawah. I like this one 🙂

Conference, Exhibition and Excitement!
