Is This Real Freedom?

Posted by Arshad Gamiet on Monday, March 28, 2011, In : Islam and Politics 
The following Khutbah was given in Britian (Something to ponder over):

I recently visited South Africa, where Muslims have lived as a tiny minority (less than 5%) for over 300 years. For the first 150 years, Islam was a banned religion in that country, and if you were caught trying to convert others to Islam, you faced the death penalty. Even when Islam was legally recognised, Muslims were still treated as second class citizens. For the next 150 years, they could not vote until Nelson Mandela ...

A Moment of Reflection on Natural Disasters

Posted by Rafik Nkata on Friday, March 18, 2011, In : Society 
On Friday March 11, 2011 who did not witness over the news or via any other media source the wreckage and damage caused by the recent earthquake and tsunami which struck Japan?

But we could ask why do such things happen at a particular place, affecting a certain community or country, and not others? Indeed, these disasters are tests for one’s faith and patience. These disasters also call upon us to self-reflect and remind us not to do things against the teachings of Allah or are destructive ...

Page and Thomas (1977) define Child Care Centres (CCCs), also known as Day Care Centres in U.S.A., as institutions that provide pre-primary education or nursery classes (p.63). In this study, the phrase CCC has been used to refer to those places or nursery schools where under-five children are cared and taught pre-primary education. Developmental psychology research has shown that it is during the early years of life that the development of intelligence, aff...

The stand of Islam regarding terrorism

Posted by ABM Productions on Friday, February 4, 2011, In : Islam and Politics 
   

Unfortunately more and more often, Islam has been associated with terrorism and violence due to the actions of a few extreme individuals who’ve taken it upon themselves to do the most heinous crimes in the name of Islam.
   
     

Tragic events such as the attack on the twin towers in New York, the bombings of Bali, Madrid and London are assumed to be justified by Islam in the minds of some people. This idea has been fueled further by many media channels which defame Islam by portraying ...

The Doctrine of Trinity: Monotheism or Polythesm?

Posted by Yusuf Abdalallah Mdala on Sunday, January 30, 2011, In : Comparative Religion 
Monotheism, a firm tenet of Muslims and Jews, refers to the belief in the unity of, or in one God. Because they believe the doctrine of the Trinity to be incompatible with monotheism, some groups of Christians reject Trinitarianism in favor of Unitarianism.

Monotheism is opposed to polytheism, the belief in the existence of many gods or divine beings. It has been widespread in human cultures, past and present, and has taken many forms. Natural forces and objects—celestial, atmospheric, and e...

Islam: The Universal Religion

Posted by Yusuf Abdallah Mdala on Thursday, January 27, 2011, In : Society 
Islam is one of the three major world religions, along with Judaism and Christianity, which professes monotheism or the belief in a single God.

In the Arabic language, the word Islam is a verbal noun originating from a trilateral root s-l-m, and is derived from the Arabic verb Aslama, which means “to accept,” “to surrender” or “to submit”— thus Islam means acceptance of and submission to the will of God — believers (Muslims) must demonstrate this by worshiping Him, following h...

Love your Masjid

Posted by Sister  Amanah Khalid on Thursday, January 27, 2011, In : Poems 

A shining light for all to see,
A symbol of truth through eternity.
A place of worship for divinity,
A symbol of strength to the community.

The place to unite and prayer together,
Rush too quickly regardless of weather.
I’m too busy to go.. Say this never,
Venture often to and at least endeavour.

Its doors are open, people go inside,
For all are welcome and in peace reside.
No raised voices of anger for you to collide,
Good etiquette and Manners you must abide.

Our beloved Mosque and second home,
A plac...

On Criminalising Polygamy

Posted by Yusuf Abdallah Mdala on Wednesday, January 26, 2011, In : Society 
The press nowadays is funny. Articles about controversial issues seem to refuse to die. A few months ago, it was about quota system, then whether to legalise marriage at age sixteen or not, and then modification of the national flag; then it was polygamy, a form of marriage in which a person has more than one mate. The practice of polygamy includes polyandry, or marriage with more than one husband, as well as polygyny, the specific term for marriage with more than one wife.

Although it is prac...
