Assalaamu-Alaykum – Peace be Upon you
I know, I know, it’s been at least a week since I put a new post up and yes, I know, it’s not good!

Well this Ramadhan has been so busy [...]

Alhumdulillah (all Praise belongs to Allah) the month of Ramadhan has really set in now as we come towards the end of the first Ashr’aa (the first 10 days).

They say that all good things must come to an end…
Well on Saturday 28th September 2008 at Zakaria Masjid in Dewsbury, something great did indeed come to an end.
Yes, on Saturday night, we were blessed by Allah to experience the last instalment of the Tafsir (explanation, exegesis) of the Holy [...]

Assalaamu-Alaykum – Peace be Upon you
It was after Fajr prayer yesterday that the Imam said that the month of Ramadhaan was like a golden opportunity for the Believer.
He was reading out of a book which equated Ramadhaan to a summer, when the weather is fine, the fruits are in full blossom and all you want [...]

Anyway, back to business, and although this is a bit last minute, some of you may [...]

Assalaamu-Alaykum (Peace be Upon you)
As there are some people who are celebrating Eid today (Friday 12th October 2007) and some who aren’t, I think it’s important for my readers to know what’s what…
The Facts
The Astronomical New Moon is on Thursday, October 11, 2007 at 5:00 GMT (i.e., 1:00 am EDT, or October 10, 10:00 pm [...]

Assalamu-Alaykum (Peace be Upon you)
Well as we are well into the last Ash’ra (last 10 days) of Ramadhaan, people will inevitably start having the usual conversations about Laylatul-Qadr (The Night of Power)…..
When is it?
Is it on the odd nights or on the even nights?
Is it the night of the 27th?
As my knowledgeable readers will be [...]

Assalamu-alaykum (Peace be Upon you)
Last few days of Ramadhaan remaining- time to take stock
Just come back from Juma (Friday prayers) and the Imam did a hair raising Khutba (in English), really made you think.
