The Blessed Month of Muharram


“Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred...”
(The Holy Qur’an, 9:36)

Alhamdulillah, the blessed month of Muharram is here. This sacred month is one of the four referred to in Surah At-Tawbah and gifts us with the beautiful Day of Ashura which allows an opportunity to fast and gain immense reward as well as atonement for our sins. 

It was narrated that Qais bin Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (RA) Said: "We used to fast on 'Ashura and give Zakatul-Fitr, and when the command to fast in Ramadan was revealed, and the command to give Zakah was revealed, we were neither commanded to give it, nor told not to do so, and we used to do it."
(Sunan an-Nasa'i, Book 23, Hadith 0)

Be sure to fast if you’re able to on the 10th of Muharram and ask Allah swt for forgiveness. Increase your good deeds during this blessed day and this month, make the intention to read the Qur’an every day, practice the surahs you’ve forgotten, send salawats on the beloved Prophet SAW and give in charity with good intentions. May Allah accept all your efforts. Ameen!

But Kanoute, one of the finalists for the 2007 BBC African Footballer of the Year award, stepped in to purchase the building. Most of Seville's Muslims who will benefit from Kanoute's gesture are immigrants from north and west Africa. The Islamic Community of Spain confirmed that a last-minute appeal was made to Kanoute after the mosque had been put up for sale. "The worshippers at Ponce De Leon are quite diverse but if it had not been for Kanoute then we would not have had a mosque on Fridays, which is the most holy day of the week for Muslims," a spokesman for the Islamic Community of Spain told the local paper Diario de S

Prophet Musa (Moses) Peace be upon him

The Prophet Musa (Moses)suffered terribly from his people and endured much for sake of Allah. Abdullah Ibn Umar narrated: 'One the Prophet Muhammad SAW distributed something among his companions, a man said this distribution has not been done with justice seeking Allah's countenance,i went to the Prophet SAW and told him of what the man said, he became so angry that i saw the signs of anger on his face , then the Prophet Muhammad SAW said: May ALLAH bestow his Mercy on Prophet Musa (Moses)for he was harmed more in worse manner than this yet he endured patiently. The Children of Israel mistreated Prophet Musa (Moses)a lot. His agony was not limited to mutiny, stupidity, chattering ignorance and idolatry it exceeded this and went as far as inflicting personal harm on him.
