The role of the Masjid In the West- Br. Abu Luqman

By
The Masjid is not like any other building, it is a House of Allah (SWT). Underneath the marbled bricks and the mosaic tiled walls there lies a mission statement. At the peak of the glossy minarets soaring towards the sky there lies echoes of a call, this is it's soul. If the Masjid could speak about our communities and the company it keeps, what would it say? The Masjid would never speak out of place from what has been revealed in the Quran and Sunnah. Unfortunately, some have spoken at odds with the very soul of the Masjid. The Masjid is asking for something more than it's expansion and more than just it's beautification. You are invited to learn what the role of the Masjid should be, based on the life of our beloved Prophet (saw).


"And who are more unjust than those who forbid that Allah's Name be mentioned in Allah's Masjids and strive for their ruin It was not fitting that such should themselves enter them (Allah's Masjids) except in fear" Sura Baqara (2:114 TMQ)

In the talk Br. Abu Luqman speaks on discovering the true voice of the masjid and its role according to the life of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW).


The talk covers the following points:-

  • The role of the Prophet's Masjid as the heart of Muslim spiritual and community life
  • Should the Masjid have a view about the Middle East Uprisings? Is politics allowed in the Masjid?
  • Khutbas about honey and socks and Dua alone whilst under the onslaught of Western interventionism?
  • Providing platforms (including the Minbar) to Western politicians and censoring Muslims
  • Failing to account British wars while speaking harshly against the 'Muslim enemy within'
  • Understanding PVE funding of Masjids as part of the government's strategy and the Islamic perspective 
  • What we can do to help the Masjid under the intense pressure and scrutiny they face from the Government Category?

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

By
Assalam wa alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatahu, Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are saddened to see Muslims today even those who practise many of the rules of Islam are working in jobs which involve haram in the financial sector. They are working in positions which involve usurious (Riba) transactions, insurance, the stock market and the like. Even though many of the clear evidences regarding the severity of the sin of Riba are known, some have justified their job to themselves thinking that they are safe as long as they are not engaged in the actual action of taking or giving Riba. Brothers & Sisters, You should know that the majority of jobs in the financial sector, even the IT jobs in this area are haram (prohibited) as they involve the processing of prohibited contracts. If you work in this sector, do not justify your job to yourself because of the fear of losing your position or having to change your career, fear Allah as he should be feared and consider ...

Q&A: Age of separating children in the beds?

By
Question: Please explain the hukm regarding separation of children in their beds. At what age is separation an obligation upon the parents? Also can a parent sleep in the same bed as their child? Answer: 1- With regards to separating children in their beds, it is clear that the separation which is obligatory is when they reach the age of 7 and not since their birth. This is due to the hadith reported by Daarqutni and al-Hakim from the Messenger (saw) who said: When your children reach the age of 7 then separate their beds and when they reach 10 beat them if they do not pray their salah.’ This is also due to what has been narrated by al-Bazzar on the authority of Abi Rafi’ with the following wording: ‘We found in a sheet near the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he died on which the following was written: Separate the beds of the slave boys and girls and brothers and sisters of 7 years of age.’ The two hadiths are texts on the separation of children when they reach the age of 7. As for the...

Authenticity of ahadith on tall buildings in Makkah?

By
Question Are these   ḥadith  sound? Are the references provided correct and accurate? When you see the belly of Makkah will be cleft open and through it will be dug out river-like passages (i.e. tunnels) (or water in the road to Makkah), and you see the buildings surpass its mountains, then take care (or beware, or a variant has: then know that the matter is at hand, or then understand that the time of trial (Judgment day) is near at hand). [Narrated by Al-Azraqi in the Book of reports about Makkah – Kitab Akhbaar Makkah, Hadiyth-1725; A specific Hadiyth (in fact several related-Hadiyths) which prophesizes about this Tower. Itha ra’aitun mecca bu’ijat katha’ima, wa ya-tasawa bunyanuha ru’usa jibaliha, faqad athalati as-Sa’atu. When you see Mecca, its mountain with holes (pierced through them), and its buildings reach its mountain tops, then as-Sa’ah (the Hour) has already cast its shadow. [Suyuti] So when you see in Makkah that channels have already been dug (or tunnels b...
