Wednesday, Aug 11, 2010 * *30 Shaban, 1431* Bismihi Ta'la* * *Tomorrow, Thursday, August 12th, 2010 is the 1st Ramadhan, 1431* *Dear Mo'mineen and Mo'minaat, assalamu 'alaikum wa rahamatullah * Ramadhan kareem to you and your families. The holy month of Ramadhan is divinely designed to accomplish much for the betterment of humanity. At the individual level a believer is given a unique opportunity to reform himself through introspection, self-reflection and formulating a plan of action that can be executed from the outset at the start of the month. By participating in the rituals of supplications and prayers in a social setting as well as in seclusion a traveler on this rejuvenating journey is given much encouragement and motivation. Supplications such as Du'a Iftetah, Du'a Abi Hamza ath-Thumali, and Du'a Kumail in tandem with various recommended Qur'anic suras are a tremendous source of inspiration, reformation and guidance that will bring a faithful closer to Allah (swt). To learn more about the merits of this month and discuss various issues related to it you are encouraged to dial into a conference call weekly on Saturday mornings at 11am EST and listen in. You will get an opportunity to hear an alim's perspective and also ask questions. *Aug 14: Importance of Ramadhan and Q&A Aug 21: Benefits of Fasting and Q&A Aug 28: Laylatul-Qadr and Q&A Sep 04: Imam Ali (as) and Q&A Call in number: 218-844-8230 Access Code: 364470 Time: 11am (EST) * At the social and broader level the holy month of Ramadhan provides ample benefits. By bringing the community together for prayers, du'a and breaking fast it offers a unique opportunity to discuss issues related to the welfare of the Muslim society at large (Ummah). Muslims are highly encouraged in this month not to forget the plight of those who are suffering under oppression of various kinds: racism, discrimination, bigotry, wars of aggression and intimidation. All of this designed to humiliate and exploit. We are obligated in this month to challenge peacefully protest the culprits of these machinations and to come to the aid of the victims. Muslim Congress encourages all communities to participate in our project called No More Hunger. This is an effort at the grassroots level in which any group of individuals can participate. To learn more about how you can get started please click here or send us an email i...@muslimcongress.org When it comes to oppression the Zionist regime tops the list. This racist and apartheid nation is the icon of tyranny in the world today. Not only has Israel been oppressing the innocent civilian Palestinians for decades but others in the world too. You are encouraged to conduct or participate in the international Yaum al-Quds activities on the last Friday of this month. On September 3, Muslims will take to the streets to voice its opposition to world oppressors and demand justice for people of all faiths, race, gender and ethnicity. The Day of al-Quds is the day for the oppressed and highlights the true sprit of Islam because it emphasizes justice just as the first Imam, Imam Ali (as) did in his time. He paid for it with his life on the 19th of Ramadhan. On the day of al-Quds we will uphold the banner of justice for humanity and let it be known that people of conscience will not sit by and witness oppression. May Allah (swt) accept the prayers of the Ummah and make this holy month one which will be a catalyst to improve the conditions of the Muslims and pave the way for the zuhoor of the Awaited Saviour (atfs).
