Eid Preparation – [Special Thanks to all Brothers and Sisters at Masjid Al-Furqaan]

Written by Masjid Al Furqan on . Posted in Brotherhood.

 السلام عليكم

Brothers and Sisters, I just want to personally thank everyone for attending today’s Eid prayer within the park – and by way of that reviving the Sunnah of our Messenger Muhammad [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam].

May Allaah reward you all with His blessings for having patience with us and actually staying to participate and enjoy the food prepared by our brothers and sisters. (Even though it was lightly drizzling at times)

I would also like to thank all my Brothers and sisters for taking part in helping out and making today a success by the will of Allaah.

Everyone I have spoken to today – During the event and after the event – have praised the whole setup and thorougly enjoyed prayer at the park.

And this is credit to all of our brothers and sisters and the roles they played, prior, during and after the event.

From the brothers and sisters who made the goody bags, sandwiches, teas and other food items – all the way to the ones who cleaned up, wiped things down and returned all furniture back to its place within the school.

Well done – execllant team and community effort and we ask that you set these good actions in your scroll of good deeds.

The light drizzle of rain became an insignificant matter as i saw our brothers, sisters and children enjoying themselves.

We have already started to consider, discuss and plan how we as a Masjid can improve on todays event for ‘eid al Adha.

Please feel free to text me if you have any ideas that are practical and can be enjoyed by our community.

BarakAllaahufeekum

Further to this – Masha’Allaah -Salafi Communites up and down the country, Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford, Loughborough, Slough, Cricklewood, Reading, Cranford and Tooting – have all been doing some amazing work today in making this Sunnah a reality on the day of ‘eid.  In some places 1000s of people have gathered – Alhamdulilaah.

May Allaah make the Salafis Blessed in every time and place – and May He Allow them to bring benefit to themselves and their communities wherever in the world they maybe.

Ameen

One of The Reasons Behind shaytaan’s Eagerness to Spilt Husband and Wife

Written by Masjid Al Furqan on . Posted in Family & Women, Purification of The Soul, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Narrated Jabir [radiyallaahu-anhu] that Allaah’s Messenger [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said: Iblis places his throne upon water; he then sends detachments (for creating dissension); the nearer to him in rank are those who are most notorious in creating dissension. One of them comes and says: I did so and so. And he says: You have done nothing. Then one amongst them comes and says: I did not spare so and so until I sowed the seed of discord between a husband and a wife. The Satan goes near him and says: ‘You have done well. A’mash said: He then embraces him. [Saheeh Muslim. Number:2813]

And because of the fact that this bond [between husband and wife] is from the most beloved affairs to Allaah and His Messenger, it is from the most hated affairs to the enemy of Allaah [i.e. shaytaan]. Therefore, he hastens to split two people who love another for the sake of Allaah.

The One Who Has Enough Food Whilst His Neighbour Is Hunger, But Does Not Share!

Written by Masjid Al Furqan on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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

The Prophet [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said: ‘’He Is Not a [True] Believer Whose Stomach Is Filled While His Neighbour Goes Hungry”. [Ref 1]

This Hadeeth [shows] that the one whose stomach is filled while his neighbour is hungry is not a believer of complete Eemaan. A person of complete Eemaan is the one who checks on his neighbour if the neighbour needs him. It is not possible for a neighbour to be enjoying himself with foods and drinks while his [other] neighbour cannot find anything and he does not give him anything. This [behaviour] does not reflect the manners of a believer with complete Eemaan. And because of this-in this hadeeth- the Prophet [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] negated the completeness [of the Eemaan of the one who behaves in such a manner]; rather a believer of complete Eemaan is the one who is generous to his neighbour as much as he is able, especially when [the neighbour] in need of a necessity such as food and drink. [Ref 2]

[Ref1: Reported by Imaam Al-Bukhaari (rahimahullaah) in Adabul Mufrad Number 112 & declared authentic by Imaam Albaani (rahimahullaah) in his checking of Adabul Mufrad page 50. Publisher Daar As-Siddeeq 2nd ed [1421 AH/ Year 2000]
