A lady came to meet me. She was Sinhala Buddhist lady who embrace Islam. Her Husband is a Malay Muslim. After she gave birth to two children this husband had left her and eloped/ran away with another woman. When I met her son was 17 years working in a Muslim boutique. But this lady didn’t have a place to keep her 11 year old daughter. Many Muslims were willing to take this girl for work as a servant. But no one was willing to give this girl accommodation and an education. Continue Reading »

Believing that every single thing belongs to Allah (nothing is ours though we claim so), and wealth is therefore held by us is a trust is one of the most important principles of Islam.
The word Zakah means ‘purification’ and ‘growth’. In other words, our wealth is purified by setting aside a part of it for those in need. This is similar to pruning of a plant. The wealth is purified and grown by cutting back the balances. Continue Reading »

Assamalu Alaikum my brother, my sister,
We live in joyous days. We are at the dawn of 2010 Ramadan fasting days. There is hardly any Muslim I know who doesn’t feel elated to welcome Ramadan fasting. Inshallah Muslims throughout the world are beginning the obligatory Ramadan fasting in the next few days. The specific day may be a day or two different according to your place and country. But the intention is the same. Obeying Allah subahanahut-thala and performing a great act for Allah’s sake.
Brother Shiraz has already written a beautiful article here about Ramadan 2010 around the corner. But along with a poster about Ramadhan fasting, I’d like to publish these thoughts too.

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 »

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 »
