  • My Prayer for My Christian Friend on Islamic New Year's
    My Prayer For My Christian Friend on Islamic New Year’s Day - Nigar Friday, 21st August, 2020. It was the first day of the month of Muharram—New Year’s Day according to the Islamic calendar. I received greetings on the occasion from some Muslim friends. One of these, sent by an elderly person, seemed the best. It said something like this: “Happy Islamic New Year. Let us bring in the new year with prayers that Allah ends the coronavirus.” I endorsed this suggestion with an “Ameen”. With much of humankind presently living in fear of the virus and their lives being majorly affected by it, this suggestion seemed most apt. It made me feel upbeat, and I stored this message in my heart. Later that day, my friend Dolcy received a call from a friend of his—let me call him ‘Vick’— who lives in another city. Vick is a Christian priest. One of his passions is to promote understanding and meaningful, positive interaction between people from different religious backgrounds. Dolcy and Vick often speak with each other on the phone. Sometimes, I also chat a bit with Vick. Just some days ago when I spoke with Vick, he had mentioned the recipe of a herbal drink to build immunity in the hope of keeping the coronavirus at bay. He told me that he had the drink every day, after supper. Vick lives in a well-protected campus. I assumed that he did not have to face many physical challenges. He did not need to go out every day to earn a living.

  • 2020-2021 Calendar of Religious Holidays, Festivals, And
    2020-2021 Calendar of Religious Holidays, Festivals, and Observances for the RISD Community The Religious Practices Advisory Committee developed this calendar as an informational guide for RISD teachers and administrators. It is based on information obtained from committee members and religious leaders in our community about holy days, religious holidays, or other observances they consider to be widely recognized, and on which students of the respective faiths might be absent from school. Teachers and administrators should refer to the calendar when planning major tests and other curricular, extracurricular and special activities, and be sensitive to anticipated student absences or other needs for observances on these dates. Of course, not all dates on which individual students may be absent for religious observances are included on this calendar. Teachers and administrators will consider student absences for religious observances on an individual basis. Parents are urged to discuss with the teacher or principal in advance any particular needs of their students for religious observances. Student absences for religious observances are recorded as “R” days.

  • MALAYSIA Executive Summary The
    MALAYSIA Executive Summary The constitution protects freedom of religion; however, portions of the constitution as well as other laws and policies placed some restrictions on religious freedom. The government did not demonstrate a trend toward either improvement or deterioration in respect for and protection of the right to religious freedom. The constitution gives the federal and state governments the power to “control or restrict the propagation of any religious doctrine or belief among persons professing the religion of Islam.” The constitution also defines ethnic Malays as Muslim. Muslims may not legally convert to another religion except in extremely rare circumstances, although members of other religions may convert to Islam. Officials at the federal and state government levels oversee Islamic religious activities, and sometimes influence the content of sermons, use mosques to convey political messages, and prevent certain imams from speaking at mosques. The approved form of Islam is Sunni Islam; other teachings and forms of Islam are illegal. The government maintains a dual legal system, whereby Sharia courts rule on religious, family, and some criminal issues involving Muslims and secular courts rule on other issues pertaining to both Muslims and the broader population. Government policies promoted Islam above other religions. Minority religious groups remained generally free to practice their beliefs; however, over the past several years, many have expressed concern that the secular civil and criminal court system has gradually ceded jurisdictional control to Sharia courts, particularly in areas of family law involving disputes between Muslims and non- Muslims. Religious minorities continued to face limitations on religious expression, including restrictions on the purchase and use of real property.

On fasting days, it would be ideal not to offer food in the classroom. Most families who observe these traditions prefer their children to miss as little school as possible. For this reason, children may come to school while observing these holy days, or miss only the first day of some of these religiously significant feasts.

Allah’s sacred month of Muharram is a blessed and important month. It is the first month of the Hijri calendar and is one of the four sacred months concerning which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so it was ordained by Allaah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them, four are sacred. That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein…” [Surah al-Tawbah 9:36] Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The year is twelve months of which four are sacred, the three consecutive months of Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab Mudar which comes between Jumaada and Sha’baan.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2958) Muharram is so called because it is a sacred (muharram) month and to confirm its sanctity.
