  • Make This Your Best Ramadan Yet! in the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
    A DAILY PLANNER AND GUIDE FOR ALL AGES! 3655 Wheeler Ave Alexandria, VA 22304 IRUSA.ORG 1-855-447-1001 Tax ID# 95-4453134 Make this your best Ramadan yet! in the name of allah, the most gracious, the most merciful All thanks and praise is due to Allah alone, the Lord of the Worlds. We praise Him, seek refuge with Him, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our souls, and the mistakes in our actions. Whomever Allah Guides, there is none who can misguide him, and whoever Allah misguides, there is none who can guide him. Verily, there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah, and Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is His servant and Messenger. Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) reminds us in the Qur’an that the month of Ramadan contains limited precious days — with an extraordinary opportunity to reach out and connect to Him. He tells us of this powerfully, All the actions of people are for them, except for fasting. Fasting is for Me and it is I who rewards it. Hence the purpose of this month is Allah — and Allah (swt) alone. Fasting is a means to attain nearness to Him. Keeping this in mind, we must make the most of these days. The best way to take advantage of Ramadan is to develop a Ramadan action plan — because a failure to plan is a plan for failure. If you don’t set goals, it gets difficult to measure yourself and assess the current state of your worship.

  • "Flower" and "Bird" and the Related Mystical Literature
    Science Arena Publications Specialty Journal of Humanities and Cultural Science Available online at www.sciarena.com 2017, Vol, 2 (2): 7-15 Study of "Flower" and "Bird" and the Related Mystical Literature hamideh samenikhah1, Ardeshir Salehpour2 1MA of art research, Department of Art and Architecture, Islamic Azad University, Tehran center Branch, Iran. Email: [email protected] 2PhD of art research, Department of Art and Architecture, Islamic Azad University, Tehran center Branch, Iran Abstract: In painting and scriptures, patterns and images transfer special meaning to the audience which are known as symbols. Understanding the concepts of such symbols forms a work. As it is known, there is a long- standing link between literature and art. Traditionally, poets or artists use symbols in literature and art to express their purposes. Since the images are the symbols of mystical concepts, it can be said that the painting is directly connected to mysticism. For example, in the paintings and scriptures of flower and bird, flower is the symbol of the beloved and bird is the symbol of lover. The romantic speeches between flower and bird are the symbol of God's praise. Flower and bird paintings are dedicated to Iranian art that refer to four thousand years ago, the companion of plant with bird is originated from the Phoenix myths and the tree of life. Interpretations of flowers and birds in nature are concerned by most poets. Flower and bird are used in the works of the poets, especially those who use the symbol for mystical concepts. The present research which is written in descriptive method aims to study "flower" and "bird" and the mystical literature related to these concepts.

  • Masjid Al-Aqsa in 2020
    Charity Reg. No. 1105056 Charity Reg. FEBRUARY 2021 FEBRUARY The latest from MUSLIM HANDS Al-Quds Special The Prophet (saw) was asked, ‘If one of us cannot visit it (Al-Aqsa), what should we do?’ He (saw) said, ‘Then he should make a gift of some oil to be lit therein [in its lamps]. For indeed the one who gifts this to it will be like the one who has prayed therein [worth 1,000 prayers]’. [Ahmad] THANK YOU FOR ILLUMINATING THE QIBALI MASJID In March 2019, we were honoured to offer you the opportunity to gain the reward of praying in Masjid Al-Aqsa. The previous lighting system hadn’t been replaced since 1986, and the old wiring meant there was a risk of fire. Your donations are helping us install a state-of-the-art lighting system in the Blessed Masjid, rewir- ing it completely so generations of worshippers can pray in safety and our history is preserved. 1,400 years ago, the Prophet Muhammad (saw) stood in this same place and led all the prophets (as) in prayer. It is a site so sacred that he (saw) advised his followers to visit it at least once. The reward of praying here is equivalent to a thousand prayers and, subhanAllah, also means all your sins will be forgiven! The Messenger of Allah (saw) said about Masjid Al-Aqsa, Look inside to see all the other amazing ways ‘What an amazing place of worship it is!’ [Hakim] you are supporting Masjid Al-Aqsa and its people.

  • The Significance & Importance of the First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah
    The Significance & Importance of The First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDPJhI3WcrI All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. May peace and blessings be upon the Chief of the Messengers, Muhammad. Indeed it is a great favour and blessing from Allah that He has made for His righteous servants periods of time within which they can increase in good deeds to attain great rewards and one of these opportunistic periods is the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah (the final month of the Islamic Calendar, in which the Hajj is performed). SUPERIORITY OF THE FIRST TEN DAYS OF DHUL-HIJJAH The excellence of these ten days have been mentioned in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. 1. Allah says in the Qur'an: "By the dawn and by the ten nights … " [Al-Qur'an 89:1-2] Ibn Kathir said that "the ten nights" referred to here are the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and this opinion was also held by Ibn Abbas, Ibn az-Zubair, Mujahid and others. 2. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "There are no deeds as excellent as those done in these ten days." They (the companions listening) said, "Not even Jihad?"
