A record of those Lajna who have already achieved this goal and those who are on their way to reach this goal should be kept and updated. Dr Amtul Rehman Ahmad | National Secretary Taleem | [email protected] 5 Learning the Holy Qur’an "The best among you is the one who learns and teaches the Holy Qur’an" (Sahih Bukhari) TAQWA program through our Jama’at has setup online classes for the following: Tarteel: Correct pronunciation of the Holy Qur’an.

You may register yourself or your family for the above classes on the following website: http://www.altaqwa.us/registration/ Addditionally you may benefit from online video Al-Tarteel lessons anytime at the following link: https://www.alislam.org/v/c-8.html?page=1 Etiquettes for reading the Holy Qur’an Be physically and spiritually clean. “That this is indeed a noble Qur’an; In a well-preserved book; Which none shall touch except those who are purified” (56:78-80) One should be physically clean and, preferably, perform wudū before its recitation. To fully absorb the blessings of the Qur’an and to understand its real meanings, one should be spiritually pure, clean and sincere in one’s beliefs. Recite the following prayer before reciting the Holy Qur’an. The Holy Qur’an directs us to say Ta’awwuz before reciting the Holy Qur’an. “And when thou recitest the Qur’an, seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.” (16:99) Remain silent and listen when the Holy Qur’an is recited.

The Promised Messiah, peace be on him, has come, and has declared war- with the forces of evil. To carry on this war he has demanded from his followers moneta^ contribution and not physical fighting. His Second Khalifa (Successor) regularizeD this contribution, and fixed it to be at least, l/16th of one's mon^ly income and further enunciated that one who does not contribute at this rate, without legitimate grounds, and securing permission to pay at a lesser rate, shall not be co^idere sincere and true Ahmadis.

  • Learn More 2016 Kismet
    Frostwatch 2016 Kismet Cases produced: 125 Suggested retail: $26 Composition: White Bordeaux blend: 76% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Semillon Harvest dates: Frostwatch Sauvignon Blanc-9/23/16, Frostwatch Semillon-10/10/16 Brix at Harvest: Sauvignon Blanc-24.5 brix, Semillon-23.0 brix Blend TA: 5.7 Blend Ph: 3.28 Alc: 14.8% Vineyard Sources: Both of the components for the blend come from Frostwatch Vineyard in the Bennett Valley Appellation, which is distinguished by its very long growing seasons, modest yields relative to other areas and full-flavored wines with good natural acidity. The mystery clones that comprise this consistently well- reviewed blend make unique and delicious wines in every vintage. Kismet means “fate or destiny” and that perfectly describes the fortuitous circumstances that led to our growing and vinification of this unique wine! Winemaking: The grapes were harvested separately and whole cluster pressed and then fermented utilizing indigenous yeast. The Sauvignon Blanc is usually one of our first harvests and the Semillon is always our last harvest. The Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in stainless steel and the Semillon was barrel fermented in neutral French oak. The wine was lightly fined for clarity and was bottled unfiltered on May 4th, 2017. Tasting Notes: Frostwatch Kismet is a proprietary blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. This White Bordeaux cuvee was originally based on 47 vines (plants later identified as unknown clones of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon), which were accidentally planted in our original Chardonnay block in 1997. After several years of segregating the fruit from those vines, and loving the resulting wine, we took cuttings from the plants and planted several acres of these unique clones.

  • MEVLANA JALALUDDİN RUMİ and SUFISM
    MEVLANA JALALUDDİN RUMİ and SUFISM (A Dervish’s Logbook) Mim Kemâl ÖKE 1 Dr. Mim Kemâl ÖKE Mim Kemal Öke was born in Istanbul in 1955 to a family with Central Asian Uygur heritage. Öke attended Şişli Terakki Lyceum for grade school and Robert College for high school. After graduating from Robert College in 1973, he went to England to complete his higher education in the fields of economics and history at Cambridge University. He also specialized in political science and international relations at Sussex, Cambridge, and Istanbul universities. In 1979 he went to work at the United Nation’s Palestine Office. He returned to Turkey in 1980 to focus on his academic career. He soon became an assistant professor at Boğaziçi University in 1984 and a professor in 1990. In 1983, TRT (Turkish Radio and Television Corporation) brought Öke on as a general consulting manager for various documentaries, including “Voyage from Cadiz to Samarkand in the Age of Tamerlane.” Up until 2006 he was involved in game shows, talk shows, news programs and discussion forums on TRT, as well as on privately owned channels. He also expressed his evaluations on foreign policy in a weekly syndicated column, “Mim Noktası” (Point of Mim). Though he manages to avoid administrative duties, he has participated in official meetings abroad on behalf of the Turkish Foreign Ministry. Throughout his academic career, Öke has always prioritized research. Of his more than twenty works published in Turkish, English, Urdu and Arabic, his writings on the issues of Palestine, Armenia, Mosul, and the Caliphate as they relate to the history of Ottoman and Turkish foreign policy are considered foundational resources.

  • Xix Share Anticipated Debut Video for Viral Track “Kismet” on Masked Records / Warner Records
    XIX SHARE ANTICIPATED DEBUT VIDEO FOR VIRAL TRACK “KISMET” ON MASKED RECORDS / WARNER RECORDS FEATURING TIKTOK STARS XOWIEJONES & BENKRO_TV WATCH HERE October 22, 2020 (Los Angeles, CA) – XIX are the next wave of musicians in the genre bending hyper-pop scene to make their own lane with their viral earworm “Kismet.” The song has been exploding on TikTok and has already amassed 7.8 million streams. Today, the duo comprised of Yung Skayda and Karm the Tool share the eagerly-awaited video on Masked Records / Warner Records with cameo appearances from alt-TikTok superstars Xowiejones and Benkro_TV. The video is a major statement for XIX, who are blazing a trail behind them in the Ramez Silyan- directed (Lil Peep) video as they wreak havoc on high school property in the night hours. The manic energy is unavoidably reminiscent of iconic teenage rebellion movies and soundtracks this aesthetic to a tee. The track's hook “Molly rocks in my green tea,” is becoming its own brand with more than 3 million TikTok videos created and over a dozen sounds supported by the likes of social media maven Charli D'Amelio, super producer Marshmello and renowned comedian Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat while promoting the new Borat 2 movie. The aforementioned lyric was intentionally isolated as the repeating phrase on the song by XIX with the premonition that it could spark a movement. As fate would have it, they were right. Now with millions of streams under their belt and an incredible video for “Kismet,” the future is bright for Yung Skayda and Karm, who are deeply inspired by punk rock, rap and metal and cite XXXTentacion as their biggest influence.

  • Extract from KISMET. Context: the Imam Goes to See His Doctor
    Extract from KISMET. Context: The Imam goes to see his doctor. In Donfield, a bearded man wearing wire-framed spectacles with round lenses, a knitted white skull cap and a serene expression, sat quietly in the waiting room of his doctor’s surgery. Imam Zulfikar Ali Mahmud was a man who had long since developed the ability to sit absolutely still, allowing his mind to dwell on matters more important than anything in his immediate surroundings. Distractions like that annoying little boy sitting opposite, staring and pointing, whispering loudly into his mother’s ear. It was no effort to ignore the child, doubtless destined to become just another typical English teenager. Selfish, undisciplined, rude and ignorant, of no value to society. Just like the ill-bred, beer-sodden animals who had mocked him on a bus only a few months ago. Not one of the dozen or so other British citizens present had intervened as the louts sneered, telling him to go back to his own country. He had remained sitting quietly in dignified silence, looking straight ahead, not responding. No point. Soon, very soon, there would be no more country to go back to. No national borders, just one country, world-wide. One state, one nation: Islam, the Caliphate. Allah had so decreed, it was Kismet. A buzzer sounded briefly to draw attention to the electronic notice-board on the wall. It scrolled a new message: MR MAHMUD TO DR SHAH’S ROOM PLEASE. Zulfikar stood up, briefly fixing his gaze upon the child and its mother, with just the trace of a thin smile on his face.
