Basics- What is Islaam? [Revisiting and Revising Basics]

Written by Jallow Abdullah on . Posted in Articles, Belief - 'Aqeedah', Monotheism - Tawheed, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

What is Islaam? It is to submit to Allaah by worshipping Him alone. Therefore, whoever refuses to submit to Allaah is haughty, and whoever submits to Allaah and others [by devoting any act worship to Allaah and others], then he is guilty of being one who ascribes a partner to Allaah. So, through this it is known that Islam opposes two affairs: Haughtiness and Polytheism [or ascribing partners with Allaah in worship].

Islaam is built on five pillars and the noble Prophet [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] has clarified them in the hadeeth reported by Ibn Umar [may Allaah be pleased with him and his father] that the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “Islaam is built on five pillars: to testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, establish the prayer [i.e. the five obligatory prayers], pay the Zakaat, fast during the month of Ramadaan and perform Hajj”. [Al-Bukhaari 8 and Muslim 16]

Khutbah: Recommended Fasts After Ramadhaan

Written by Masjid Al Furqan on . Posted in Announcements, Khutbah (Friday Sermons).

Fasting does not end at the end of Ramadhaan. Allaah has legislated other fasts which we can engage in to still attain the benefits of fasting and to keep us in that state of discipline & mindfulness towards Allaah.

Allaah has blessed that we were in the month of Ramadhaan and He has blessed us that we have completed the month.

Righteous deeds and the worship of Allaah do not end with the end of Ramadhaan. They should continue after the month of Ramadhaan.

Fasting in the month of Ramadhaan brought so many benefits for us, taught us many lessons, patience, perseverance, self control, self discipline. These things we can carry on outside the blessed month.

Let us all safeguard what Ramadhaan taught us. Let us safeguard those benefits and let us safeguard that purification & cleansing that we attained during the blessed month.

Donate 10 In The Last 10

Written by Masjid Al Furqan on . Posted in Announcements.

This is a tremendous opportunity to capitalise on these remaining blessed days of Ramadhān before us.

The last ten days are the most virtuous part of Ramadhān and within them there is the most virtuous night of the year. The highest multiplication of rewards can be achieved by any one of you O servants of Allāh. This is the greatest opportunity out of the whole year to gain reward.

We are encouraging all brothers and sisters to donate an amount of £10 or more if you are able (for GREATER reward) a day/night to the New Masjid Build for the remaining last 10 days of Ramadhān.

If a person was to donate a greater amount of £35 a day then this would firstly equate to the amount of a musalla from the Masjid Musalla Campaign and secondly, the reward for that person would be immense.

Imagine, in the event that one night of your donation coincides with Laylatul Qadr then just imagine the greatness of the reward you may achieve for your Hereafter (with Allāh, The Mighty and Majestic).

It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Seek Laylat al-Qadr among the odd numbered nights of the last ten nights of Ramadaan.”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2017; Muslim, 1169.

Khutbah: Ramadhaan Has Not Ended Yet

Written by Masjid Al Furqan on . Posted in Announcements, Khutbah (Friday Sermons).

Allaah has favoured us and blessed us that we have reached the half way point of Ramadhaan.

For those who strive and have been striving since the beginning of Ramadhaan, continue to strive for indeed the promise of Allaah is Haqq. Stay upon that firmness till the end of Ramadhaan. Increase in good and righteous deeds for Ramadhaan has not ended yet.

For those who have been a bit lazy with the righteousness and the actions of obedience they could have done, likewise know that Ramadhaan has not ended yet. There is still time for you to rectify that which you need to rectify between you and your Lord.

Ramadhān 2018

Written by Masjid Al Furqan on . Posted in Announcements.

The Month of Ramadhān will commence on Thursday insh’Allāh and the first Tarāweeh prayer will take place tomorrow after Salātul Ishā’ (10.55pm) inshā’Allāh.

We ask Allāh, the Most High to allows us all to benefit from this Blessed Month and that He, the Most Merciful forgives us for our shortcomings. Āmeen.

Khutba: Self Rectification

Written by Masjid Al Furqan on . Posted in Announcements, Khutbah (Friday Sermons).

In this Khutbah Ustaadh Rayaan gives us a stark reminder that we need to remain steadfast, even after the month of Ramadhaan has passed.

We must realise that Ramadhaan has left but we are still here.

Do not make false hopes in yourself that something external will automatically change you, that it will make you good without any effort. Don’t be of those that are dragged along by the dunya.

Allaah has blessed us with a whole month where it is easy for us to change, for us to rectify ourselves, to sink in a firmly rooted intention. We should strive to make a plan of action of what to do after Ramadhaan.

Let us continue our good deeds after Ramadhaan and let us not let the passing of Ramadhaan cause the decrease of our deeds.

Let us protect ourselves from what takes us away from the good deeds and let us take the means to self rectification.
