Product Information

Perform dhikr, which means being mindful of Allah throughout the day. Dhikr of Allah is one of the best ways to praise Allah and to improve your connection with Him. Dhikr has been stressed over a hundred times in the Qur'an, and is of tremendous importance. Allah says in his Holy book : "O believers, make abundant mention of Allah!" (33:41) The Prophet said, "If your hearts were always in the state that they are in during dhikr, the angels would come to see you to the point that they would greet you in the middle of the road." The book was written, he says as: "A personal document of a moment of time that me and my generation of Muslims have lived through. Over the last two decades, our communities have been targeted, ostracised, and caricatured." Bad Muslim

Add your own personal prayers (dua) after the formal prayers or at any time during the day - ask Allah for help, guidance and protection, thank Him for his bounties and praise Him for His wisdom and generosity. Whether it’s due to being a religious minority or being queer, I’m used to fighting for the right to call myself Muslim. In countries that allow it, polygamy can be a practical option for many Muslimahs seeking marriage, as Islam permits a husband to take up to four wives, provided he is capable of supporting and treating them equally and fulfilling your desires. However, polygamy is not a requirement. If Muslims can be unabashedly assertive about the sanctity of their religious identity and traditions, other groups can be unapologetic about their respective identities too!!There would be nothing like Congress of BJP Muslim – Congress was a mass movement and like everyone Muslims joining freedom movement became congressmen, on the contrary BJP (or then Jansangh) being formed out of Hindu Mahasabha naturally did not have Muslims. But this remains the history and BJP has come a long way from there. Learn more about the rules of Islam. Know which acts are compulsory (known as 'wajib' or 'fardh', such as prayer, fasting in Ramadhan, seeking Islamic knowledge, wearing hijab etc.) and what you can't do (known as "haraam", such as eating certain foods, sexual activity outside marriage, free-mixing etc.), and the reasoning behind it. The internet is a valuable resource to research the Islamic legal system (Shariah) and also find information on the consequences that may follow in this world and the afterlife if the laws are broken. The Shariah with its tradition of deterrent punishments may sometimes seem restrictive and old-fashioned, but it is a gift from Allah to guide the believers to follow His way and can never be changed. It is therefore to be born in the mind of Muslim husband that he is not authorized to beat his wife. It is deeply worrying to find many husbands beating their wives discriminately or habitually for petty offences without realizing what consequences it might lead to. Some stupid husbands cross all the limits when it comes to punishing their wives. So, we find them beating up their wives so violently that the poor wives come out injured looking as if they had done ten rounds in a boxing-ring. What is more alarming is that such Muslims unjustly claim that they have religious endorsement to beat their wives, while the fact is that in most cases they are beating them when they are drunk, or brutal by nature, or just in a bad temper.

Read the Qur'an as much as you can. Seek an understanding of Islam directly from it's authentic source. You will strengthen your personal faith if you understand Arabic, the language your faith is based upon. Make a practice of reading the Qur'an every day for at least a few minutes, or longer if you are able, as well as moments when you feel your faith waver or your focus on Allah falter. [1] X Research source Hassan says: "I've endeavoured to write about Islam here in a way that I never have publicly before, not in terms of political identity, but in terms of faith and the ways Islam shapes my day-to-day life and my response to the world around me." He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed; and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving.” [Quran 67-2] The White House is working on a strategy to combat Islamophobia. Many Muslim Americans are skeptical Stand up for other Muslims if you see them being targeted. For instance, if you see a woman in a hijab being harassed, stand between her and her harasser and engage her in friendly conversation to take the power away from the person harassing her.Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and lasts either 29 or 30 days. During Ramadan, Muslims observe a fast from sunrise to sunset each day, so they wake up early to share food before the sun appears and end it in later in the evening. Reflect upon the words you read, study their deepest meaning (tafsir) and identify lessons from the Quran that you can incorporate into your daily life.

Read the Quran. Read the Quran every day and also try to read the translation of the Quran in your native language to understand its meaning. Remember that the words of the Quran are Allah's, so reading the Quran will help you establish a direct relationship with Allah and will also allow you to discover the beauty of the religion. Listening to it (you can find videos online) also makes you feel closer to Allah. Infused with the ethics of faith and family, his poems are never frivolous but instead fuelled with the ferocity of purpose, finding ways to start conversations around issues of importance, to him, to his friends, and to the world. 'Targeted, ostracised and caricatured' It's this poetic force, blended with the directness of a journalist, that Hassan now drips and drizzles throughout his new book, written as a collection of 19 deeply introspective personal essays. Try to develop a strong daily routine of prayer and worship. Many Muslims spend hours in prayer each day. Always aim to fill any spare moments with worship rather than other worldly distractions.Born in Cairo, to parents who were both electrical engineers, Hassan grew up surrounded by the love of his grandmother, slow Friday lunches of fried shrimp and molokhia, and afternoon naps - "a sign of true living" - he writes in his new book How to be a Bad Muslim. Islamic belief also mandates the observance of Sunnah, lifestyle guidelines based on the life of Muhammad. Some acts are recommended, and some are mandated. The narration (hadith) will inform you if the described action is required. Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and to be mindful of their chastity: verily this will be most conducive to their purity – (and) verily Allah is aware of all that they do.” [Qur’an 24:30]

Allah, the Arabic word for God, refers to the same God worshiped by Christians and Jews (aka the "Abrahamic" God). Thus, Muslims revere the prophets of Christianity and Judaism (including Jesus, Moses, David, Elijah, etc.) and consider the Bible and Torah to be divinely inspired, but modified over time, and therefore, unreliable. The Qur'an is God's final scripture that affirms the truth in the previous scriptures and rectifies any falsehoods or corruptions.All the foregoing indicates that the woman who is blessed with marrying to an ideal Muslim husband will be protected but not suppressed and is most likely to be very happy and satisfied. It is however, not rational or expected from a Muslim husband to please his wife at all cost like some husbands do nowadays. If it happens, it will have a bearing on the family, its interest.The Qur’an says: Muslims belong to many different sects – including some you may have heard of, like Sunni and Shiite – but they all share these same fundamental beliefs. On its own though, study is of no use unless the knowledge acquired is implemented within our lives - ultimately we will be rewarded or punished according to our actions, not our knowledge. In the 12-month Gregorian calendar used in much of the world, the timing of Ramadan can vary from year to year. The dates depend on when the new crescent moon is visible.
