As the Eid Greetings start…

Beware… As your phone goes into meltdown with Eid greetings, and as you rush around to prepare for Eid tomorrow beware of this distraction that robs you of the final precious hours of Ramadan.

It was going to be wicked, they were going to look sharp and fresh and the ladies of Birmingham would be flocking around them that night!

The Wonderful Status of I’tikaaf

by Hazrat Muhammad Farouq Sahib Fulfil one’s I’tikaaf in such a Masjid wherein the five daily Salaah is offered. A Masjid in terms of the Shariah. By means of this act Allah Ta’ala has granted us solitude while in a gathering. What more can be said! Two Haj and two Umrah, by means of a single days I’tikaaf, how far is one removed from Jahannum?

Ramadan Poem

by Donna Sibaai The holy month of Ramadan For all Muslims has begun. Praising Allah through the day, From dawn to dusk we fast and pray. We pay zakah (charity) for those in need, Trying hard to do good deeds. When the sun has set, and day is done- I’ll break this chain, but only one. By the end of Ramadan, this whole chain will be all gone! It’s time for Eid and lots of fun!!!

Ramadan Fever

The heat is on! Once a year a dramatic change occurs in the Muslim community. Once a year Icky baby and the Sams becomes Brother Iqbal and Sister Sameera. Off come the baggy jeans, the Nikes and the Raiders cap. On come the yellow Shalwar Kameez (clothes most Pakistanis wear), out goes the brylcreamed hairstyle which glues on that terribly uncool Towpee (cap) and in comes the miswak in the top pocket, making you look like something like “Karachi cops”.
