Charity in Ramadan – Dry ration distribution 2010

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, Assalamu Alaikum Warahmathullah,

Allah’s Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said:“If the mountain of Uhud were turned into gold for me, I would not like three nights to pass and one dinar still be left with me, excepting what I would leave for paying my debts” meaning, he would not rest until his money was spent in Allah’s cause.

DA’WAH CORNER’s Dry ration distribution charity targets the poor and the needy among both the Reverts and the Muslims. Last year Allah helped us to distribute 51 packs, Alhamdulillah. But this year, Insha Allah, the target quantity will be more than 1000. Continue Reading »

Investment For Hereafter – Dates Distribution Project In Ramadan 2010

Dear Brother and Sister in Islam, Assalamu Alaikum,

“Fear the Fire, even if by giving half a date in charity” (Hadith)
“Charity extinguishes Allah’s wrath as water extinguishes fire” (Hadith)

If you read any hadith that talks about Sadaqah, Dates takes a unique status. Dates are not only part of our unique Islamic identity, it serves as the primary source for Ifthar for millions of Muslim Ummah. Continue Reading »

Usually people use the word ‘Da’wah’ for the act of conveying the message of Islam, without differentiating whether the person being addressed is a Muslim or a non-Muslim. Many consider ‘Da’wah’ and ‘Islaah’ to be one and the same activity. The appropriate word used for inviting a non-Muslim to Islam is ‘Da’wah’ and for providing correct and additional knowledge of Islam to a Muslim is ‘Islaah’.

Ramadan Is Around The Corner

When Messenger of Allah  sighted the moon of Rajab, he used to pray to Allah in the following words:

O Allah, make the months of Rajab and Sha’ban blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadan (i.e. prolong our life up to Ramadan, so that we may benefit from its merits and blessings). Continue Reading »

When looking back at the journey so far, we see we are a stronger and more matured institution with lot of lessons learned. Continue Reading »

My early days as a new Muslim was filled with sheer guilt and sadness when I think of what I can do or done for my new found faith. We were passionate to take Islam to others, tell others how happy and content we are. But we lacked means, freedom and support to carry out this noble duty. But things have changed now. Alhamdulillaah, Allah has helped us to make this difference. We have grown stronger, more skilled and capable. The question now is what we CAN’T do for the sake of Islam. This indeed is a blessed accomplishment. Continue Reading »

Question: I would like you to give me your opinion about the issues and challenges in Islamic missionary work today.

Answer: Your question is very general and I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for. First of all, we Muslims do not usually use the words “missionary” or “missionary work” to refer to a da`i andda`wah. We prefer to keep our own Islamic terms, which come from the verb meaning to call or invite. Continue Reading »

Question: From your own experience of talking about Islam all over the world, can you give some hints and good ideas about how to makeda`wah in a way that suits the people of the West who are not Muslim?

Answer: Thank you for this question, which is asked by so many Muslims. It is a wonderful sign that so many Muslims love Islam so much that they want to tell others about it. So many, though, are full of good intentions, but are not quite sure just where to begin. Continue Reading »

How to Perform Dawah

Question: I have a question that deals with performingdawah (by which I mean giving lectures). I am sure Islam gives some approaches. I am particularly interested in dawah in the Netherlands for Muslim youth, students at High School and Universities and also for the non-Muslims. May Allah bless your fantastic work. Give my greetings from Holland to the whole staff. Salam. Continue Reading »

The Muslim Is Wise And Eloquent In His Da’wah

Dr. Muhammad Ali Al-Hashimi

The da’ee (caller) is intelligent and eloquent in his preaching, wise in the way he calls people to the truth, and gentle in the way he teaches them the rules of Islam. In all of this, he is following the words of Allah (subhanahu wa ta`ala):

Invite [all] to the Way of your Rabb with wisdom and beautiful preaching … (Qur’an 16:125) Continue Reading »

PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF ALLAH (SWT) TO AN ATHEIST

by Dr. Zakir Naik

CONGRATULATING AN ATHEIST

Normally, when I meet an atheist, the first thing I like to do is to congratulate him and say, ” My special congratulations to you”, because most of the people who believe in God are doing blind belief – he is a Christian, because his father is a Christian; he is a Hindu, because his father is a Hindu; the majority of the people in the world are blindly following the religion of their fathers. An atheist, on the other hand, even though e may belong to a religious family, uses his intellect to deny the existence of God; what ever concept or qualities of God he may have learnt in his religion may not seem to be logical to him.
