Quds Day’s significance from viewpoint of Imam Khomeini (s)

General Problems of Europs Muslims No Comments »

 

 

 

We witness that thousands of Muslims stage protest against foes of peace, particular the US and Zionist regime on the last Friday from holy month of Ramadan. They display their sovereignty against the worldly material powers through unity of their expressions.

Ahlul Bayt News Agency, This is the day when the Muslims put aside all their national and sectarian differences and strongly condemn the Zionism and its supporters. We see it necessary to remind the readers the point that the origin of this day can be traced in Imam Khomeini’s thoughts. From his very early youth days, Imam used to warn the public and masses of the dangers posed by the Zionism.

Imam Khomeini (s) and 

Palestine cause

Struggle against Zionism forms one of the crucial pillars of Imam Khomeini’s thoughts. His first official stance against Israel came in 1968 when he demanded the then regime of Shah to ban export of oil to

Israel and cut all diplomatic ties with the Zionist regime as other Islamic and Arab countries had done so. Imam said that,

“One of the issues that have placed us against the Pahlavi regime is its assistance to

Israel. I have always warned that Shah has been assisting to

Israel since it came to power. Moreover, when intensive war between the Muslims and

Israel was on its peak he used to provide the Zionists with the oil revenues. Imam said that it was an important factor contributed to my opposition to the Pahlvi regime.”[1]

The Sermon Given By The Prophet (P) On The Last Friday Of Sha’ban On The Reception Of The Month of Ramadan

General Problems of Europs Muslims No Comments »

“O People! Indeed ahead of you is the blessed month of Allah. A month of blessing, mercy and forgiveness. A month that with Allah is the best of months.  Its days, the best of days, its nights, the best of nights, and its hours, the best of hours. It is the month that invites you to be the guests of Allah and invites you to be one of those near to Him. Each breath you take glorifies him; your sleep is worship, your deeds are accepted and your supplications are answered. So, ask Allah, your Lord; to give you a sound body and an enlightened heart so you may be able to fast and recite his book, for only he is unhappy who is devoid of Allah’s forgiveness during this great month. Remember the hunger and thirst of the day of Qiyamah (Judgment) with your hunger and thirst; give alms to the needy and poor, honor your old, show kindness to the young ones, maintain relations with your blood relations; guard your tongues, close your eyes to that which is not permissible for your sight, close your ears to that which is forbidden to hear, show compassion to the orphans of people so compassion may be shown to your orphans. Repent to Allah for your sins and raise your hands in dua during these times, for they are the best of times and Allah looks towards his creatures with kindness, replying to them during the hours and granting their needs if he is asked …

“O People! Indeed your souls are dependant on your deeds, free it with Istighfar (repentance) lighten its loads by long prostrations; and know that Allah swears by his might: That there is no punishment for the one who prays and prostrates and he shall have no fear of the fire on the day when man stands before the Lord of the worlds.

“O People! One who gives Iftaar to a fasting person during this month will be like one who has freed someone and his past sins will be forgiven.  Some of the people who were there then asked the Prophet (s): “Not all of us are able to invite those who are fasting?”……..

“Islamic pupil wins case to pray at German school”

General Problems of Europs Muslims No Comments »

A Berlin pupil has been awarded the right to perform Islamic prayer rituals at school, in a court ruling passed on Tuesday.

Berlin’s administrative court agreed with the complaint brought by the 16-year-old pupil, who attends a secondary school in the German capital.

Last year the court had provisionally allowed the teenage boy to pray once a day, during a break in lessons.

Education officials in the city feared that the decision could erode the neutrality of schools, leading to “islands of belief.”

The judges ruled that the prayer rituals would not interfere with school operations, and based their decision on the right to religious freedom.

We Want Equality: Muslims Tell Merkel

General Problems of Europs Muslims, Muslims of Germany 13 Comments »

As German Chancellor Angela Merkel proceeds with negotiating a new coalition after winning a second four-year term, Muslims are hoping her second government would deal with them more positively as equal citizens rather than a potential threat.

“We want Chancellor Merkel and her new government to give us justice,” Nadeem Elias, chairman of the Supreme Council of Muslims in Germany, told IslamOnline.net on Tuesday, September 29.

“We want to feel it’s a government for all people regardless of ethnic, religious and cultural differences. Everybody should feel that their interests are being protected by the government.”

Merkel, 55, secured another four-year mandate after her Christian Democrats (CDU) and its Christian Social Union (CSU) got 33.8 percent of the vote.

The conservative chancellor, dubbed most powerful woman on Earth by Forbes magazine, is working on a new centre-right coalition with the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP).

Starting from there, it was concluded that Turkey, with its secular state and Muslim identity, could be a good reference for Muslims living in Europe.

In order to block efforts to create misunderstandings about Islam and stir up Islamophobia in the continent, the Directorate of Religious Affairs decided to open a bureau in the European capital. This decision was supported by the pope, too.
