Welcome to Dawah Shirts. Our shirts and products are designed to be a potential tool for Dawah, inviting to Islam. Dawah can be done with close friends or people you meet on the street. Sometimes, especially with strangers, it can be difficult to start calling to Islam out of nowhere, and many people may be turned off by this approach. These shirts are meant to be conversation starters. With many different styles and de-signs, you can find the perfect shirt that suits you and gets people all around you in-terested in learning more about Islam.

Quranic Love ------------------

Doses of love capsuled within a rainbow Burnt candle sparkled out light Sprinkles of air captured within a rose Petals flew before lions cried Fire burnt Ice froze Biscuit dried Water became wet Couplets of gold Within verses Pages turn to sliver Ink dried Pen lifted The words of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Commentary The poetry of Imam Al Shafi‟ee inspired me to write this short poem. How words can be so few, yet carry so much meaning be-hind them. With fire burning and ice freezing, I wanted to express how our love for the Quran can not be measured by normal love.For deep love goes beyond the surface and deeper beyond the eye. For the words of Allah are far beyond in wisdom than the words of the crea-tion. Subhanallah. iPOET - www.islamicpoet.com

Anjum took off its Journey early 2007 after the Artists realised the demand of nasheeds

within the muslim ummah as a whole and especially western and european countries

mainly the UK. Anjum have been performing locally and nationally ever since 2007. There

are a lot of solo singers out there but there's only a few bands hence anjum is striving to

deliver a different experience to its audience. The band consists of two artists; Kazi

abidur Rahman who is 16 years old Currently A Student in London, he has been perform-

ing since a very young age and hopes to carry on entertaining the ummah. He has per-

formed in many Local and National Events throughout the UK.

And Kazi shafiqur rahman who is a 24 years old single running his own perfume business

as a full time occupation. He is also a muadhin who can imitate many major styles of ad-

han includin makkah and madinah. He performed adhan in Eid in the square and Global

£30,000 urgently needed to save Gaza’s only hospital for war-affected children

Inadequate facilities and destruction of medical buildings has meant the hospital is no longer capable of meeting the need of young Gazans. The sad reality is that children are most affected by a lack of routine medication, short-age of medical supplies and dilapidated hospital conditions. Al Dora Paediatric Hospital – which last year treated 35,000 cases– is the only of its kind in Gaza to specialise in the treatment of children. In urgent need of maintenance, the hospital struggles to provide a service to more than 250,000 childrenin the surrounding area. Your contribution will provide sanitary and well-equipped medical facilities for thousands of Gaza‟s children insha‟Allah.

JIHAD & WARFARE IN ISLAM - A DETAILED ACCOUNT

Date: Saturday 29th January 2011 Time: 10am - 6pm

Venue: Muslim World League, 4th Floor, 46 Goodge St, London, W1T 4LX (on the corner of Charlotte Street)

DEADLINE: MONDAY 25TH JANUARY 2011 after which prices increase

Allah says in the Qur'an: "And why should you not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated and oppressed? Men, women, and children, whose cry is: 'Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors, and raise for us from

Thee one who will protect; and raise for us from Thee one who will help'." (Surah An-Nisâ', verse 75)

This is arguably the most talked about topic whenever the subject of Islam is brought up amongst non-Muslims and Muslims. However, its true and comprehensive meaning has

sadly been hijacked and abused either by the pacifists, who are more inclined towards bending over backwards and pleasing others, or the warmongering riff-raff of the Ummah, who are unable to channel their frustra-

tions constructively and fail to attribute half-baked justifications for transgression to any legal scholarship.

But what about the situation today? How should we understand Jihad in our current time-space context. This short course aims to cover the following areas, in light of classical and

contemporary jurists: Types of Jihad, Reality of Jihad al-Nafs, Issue of Forcefully Converting People to Islam, Jihad as Armed Combat, Dar al-Harb or Dar al-Islam, Defensive and Offen-sive Jihad, Rules of Engagement and Civilian Inviolability, Role of the Head of State in Politi-cal Affairs and Jihad, Peace Treaties and the UN Declaration of Peace, Ethical Considera-

tions in a Nuclear Age, Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) Overall Attitude to War, Shari'ah Defini-tion of Terrorism, Reality of 9-11 & 7-7 according to Foundational Texts and Juristic Rulings,

Multiple Muslim States, Islam's Foreign Policy, Social Contract and Muslims of the UK.

A lot of material is to be covered during the course in significant depth, with the teacher com-monly referring to related subjects so as to address the subject in a more well-rounded man-

ner. Participants are therefore encouraged to attend with the right frame of mind and the necessary level of alertness. Whilst many may speak passionately about jihad, its inner and outer aspects, its rulings and relevance in today's context, very few are able to articulate this

in a way that is true to both its practical and psycho-spiritual dimensions on an experiential level. Inshallah, this course will go some way towards providing a more

honest and balanced representation of the subject, insha'Allah.

The Board of Trustees is currently recruiting new Trustees to join the organisation. Trustees are legally responsible for the Charity and for ensuring the organisation is able to operate effectively. Trustees are also expected to represent the organisation at public forums, attend external meet-ings with funders and other support agencies, raise awareness of MYH and develop a network of contacts to support the work of the charity.

A COMMUNITY organisa-tion which was set up to ease religious tension has scooped the title of En-field‟s Business Of The Year. Founded in 2007 by for-mer Haringey councillor Fiyaz Mughal OBE, Faith Matters was praised for its conflict-resolution work in the UK and across the Middle East. Judges were impressed with the organi-sation‟s social pro-grammes, research, events and publications. Mr Mughal said: “People have this perception that community organisations are not actu-ally businesses even though we operate exactly like a business. “It was a fantastic honour to be named business of the year and even more so because the competition we were up against was so high.” The runner-up was named as Elite Feet Football Development, a football coaching firm run by Daniel Larner and based in Green Road, Southgate.

Henna (Mehendi) is a Great Healer By Dr. M. Laiq Ahmed Khan

The Henna plant is not only extensively grown throughout India, but cultivated as well. It is

planted as hedges around houses, buildings and sometimes fields. It is two-meter long when

fully grown and emission of a typical fragrance is also noted during nights. It is cultivated

throughout India. For ages. The Mehndi of Faridabad is very much popular and liked by the

users. The different parts of the plant viz. leaves, stems, flowers and fruits are being used for

cosmetic as well as medicinal purposes.

Umme Salma (R) narrates: "In the life of Prophet Muhammed (saws), no injury or thorn

piercing was treated on which Henna was not applied." (Tirmizi, Sanad-e-Ahmed)

"Whenever somebody came to Prophet Muhammad (saws) with complaints of headache, he

directed him to undergo cupping and whosoever complained of pain in legs, was advised to

apply Henna." (Bukhari, Abu Dawood)

In another narration Henna was prescribed for headache also Hazrat Abu Huraira narrates:

Nabi-e-Akram (saws) said that Jews and Christians did not use Khizab, you oppose that.

The same verse is narrated by other narrators in Nisai and Tirmizi.

Osman bin Abdullah Ibn Mohib narrates: "My family sent me to Ummul Momineen, Hazrat

Salma (R), with a bowl of water (the narrator of this Hadith, Israil closed his three fingers

and said the bowl was of silver). A few holy hairs of Prophet (saws) were there in the bowl. If

some one fell ill with evil sight or with any other ailment would send the water in a bowl to

Page 49: TMS 22

Umme-e-Salma. She would dip the plate in it. I

looked into the water and found that the colour of

the Prophet’s hair was red." (Bukhari)

Jahzma (R) the wife of Bashir Bin Khasasia (R)

narrates "I saw Prophet Muhammad (saws) com-

ing out of the house. He was coming after taking

bath, therefore, he was shaking his hairs. The col-

our of Henna was visible on his head." (Tirmizi)

Wasila (R) narrates that Prophet Muhammad

(saws) said "Use Henna, it makes your head lus-

trous, cleanses your hearts, increases the sexual

vigour and will be witness in your graves"

Abi Rafai narrates, "I was present before Prophet

(saws). Passing his hand over his head he said

that the head of all dyes was Henna which added

a glow to the face and increased the sexual vig-

our." (Abu Naim)

The scholars of Hadith paid a great attention to-

wards its use keeping in view the repeated say-

ings of Prophet Muhammad (saws).

Sahaba and Tabayeen like Abu Bakr, Umar, Abu

Ubaida, Mohammed Ibnal Hanifa, Mohammed Ibn

Al Sirin used to apply Henna on their hairs.

Mohaddis Abdul Latif Baghdadi says that its red

colour is very attractive and its colour and smell is a nerve stimulant. The fact is well under-

stood in today’s scenario, from the impact of colour and odour on personality and physiology.

Mohd. Ahmed Zahbi says that there are three essential factors for healing

i. Expulsion of fluids from the wounds

ii. Cessation of production of any more fluids

Formation of healthy flesh (granulation tissue) to fill the gap. Henna contains all these three factors and possesses very good healing properties. If Mehndi

leaves are soaked in water throughout the night and this decanted water, if taken in morning

for 40 days, is effective in leprosy and heals the wounds.

Ibu al Qayyim in the light of his experiences describes it a good healing agent for burns. Its

gargles are beneficial in stomatitis and all ulcers of tongue, cheeks and lips. Its local applica-

tion has soothing effects on acute inflammations and hot abscesses. Henna levels’ extract in

oil mixed with natural wax and oil of rose, if applied locally in conditions of backache, is

highly effective.

It is a clinically tested fact that if Mehndi leaves paste is applied on the soles of the patients

of small pox and chicken pox, the eyes remain unaffected with the disease and besides be-

come dry very soon.

Dry leaves of Henna if kept in clothes, serve the purpose of insect repellent.

If the paste of Henna is applied on nails, the lustre of the nails increases and if applied on

feet and soles, is effective in burning feet syndrome.

If the nails become disfigured after getting fungal infection, it is advisable to use Henna with

vinegar to restore it to normalcy. The paste of Henna is very effective in Burns and scalds. It

heals the boils of scalp if applied with Roghan-e-Zaitoon.

The physicians of Unani Medicine describe it as a good blood purifier. Hakim Ajmal Khan once

used the paste of Henna on the palms of a female patient who was suffering from Menor-

rhagia and she got cured. Inhaling the scent of its flowers cures headache from heat.

The oil prepared from olive oil and leaves of Henna is very much effective in muscular rigid-

ity. If Henna leaves are soaked in a sufficient quantity of water and kept throughout the night

and the decanted water is taken in morning it is effective in Jaundice and Splenomegaly. (The writer is director, Shah Faisal Institute of Hadith and Medical Sciences, Kasganj)

The Productive Muslim

Habitator

7 Daily Spiritual Productive Habits to Develop

by ProductiveMuslim

You should aim to develop the following 7 Spiritually Productive activi-

ties into habits so that you can hopefully continue benefitting from them

throughout your life. I consider these activities as the spiritual „bread and

butter‟ of any ProductiveMuslim. To develop them as habits is the essence

of embarking on your journey towards the love of Allah (Subhanahu Wa

Ta‟ala) and constantly increasing in your eman, inshaAllah:

1) Pray the Sunnah Prayers before and/or after Prayer: I know it‟s easier to just pray the obligatory prayers and rush out of the

mosque! However, when we realise the rewards we‟re missing from not

praying these Sunnah prayers we won‟t leave them. Over the years I have learnt there‟s only ONE way of get-

ting yourself to pray these Sunnah prayers constantly: Get into the habit of praying them! They‟ll soon become

part and parcel of your Salah and your Salah will feel incomplete without performing these acts.

2) Remembrance of Allah after Salah: Again, it‟s easy to rush out after Salah due to our busy lives, though if we are honest, how long does it take to

recite the supplications after Salah? (The Answer: 5-7 minutes!). If you‟re not sure what I‟m referring to, you

may find the supplications at MakeDua.com. Nowadays you‟ll find pocket notebooks/or phone applications with

these supplications. Get into the habit of reciting them daily after each Salah to enrich your Salah experience.

3) Morning/Evening Remembrance of Allah: Step 2 is also included in this habit. There exists a beautiful set of duas/remembrances from the Sunnah of the

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) which he used to say before sunrise and after sunset. They are true

stress relievers and energy boosters which never fail to make my days and evenings feel blessed. [You can find

the duas at MakeDua.com]

4) Night Prayer: Hamdulillah, during Ramadan we have the wonderful Taraweeh prayers to attend. However, outside of Rama-

dan there are many opportunities to still obtain the reward of the night prayer. If you‟re new to night prayer or

you don‟t pray it constantly during the year, make sure you try to attend prayers each and every night in congre-

gation at the mosque (particularly brothers), and give yourself a „no-excuse‟ policy. Develop a habit of praying

Tahajjud and continuing to pray them for an entire 30 days; this will set you on better footing to continue with

the Night Prayer for the rest of the year inshaAllah.

5) Duha Prayer:

Here‟s a Productive Muslim‟s top secret to a productive day: 2 rak‟ahs known as the Duha prayer which you

may pray at anytime after sunrise till before the sun reaches it‟s zenith (around 30 minutes before Dhuhr). The

reward of this prayer is similar to giving charity on behalf of every bone in your body, and the energy and buzz

you feel during the day is amazing.

6) Supplications before you Sleep:

You‟ve just had a long day and you‟re super tired. You climb into bed and you want to hit the sack… but wait!

Before you do, can you give yourself just 10 more minutes to recite the supplications before sleeping? That‟s all.

Try them and find yourself experiencing the most beautiful sleep ever and waking up for Fajr easily, inshaAllah.

For more information on waking up for fajr, constantly, everyday, without fail Read How to Wake up for Fajr.

7) Reciting one hour of Quran each day:

Notice: I said here recite one hour of Quran each day and not one juz‟ or one Surah. The amount of Quran you

read is not as important as the quality of your understanding. If you spend one hour reciting one verse but under-

stand it fully, that‟s more important and beneficial then reciting lots of Quran at break-neck speed yet not under-

standing a word.

with the things we want to say, every single day.

Dhal, “dhikr” think of Allah everywhere

HMC was born essentially out of one concern and one concern only;

to be able to provide assurance that we are eating genuine Halal, not just “because it says Halal… it must be Halal!"

HMC is the product of a particular, prolonged situation – a situation of deceit

and treachery. Muslims are being betrayed by individuals & corporations whose only concern is making fast, easy money. Using 'blessed blades', pre

recorded Bismillah, captive bolts, electrified water and even pork proteins; the hard-earned Halal cash of many is being used to buy Haram. HMC has

therefore, shouldered the enormous responsibility of discharging an obliga-tory duty on behalf of you, the community at large. Help HMC to Help You!

Champions League Tournament

At The London Soccer dome: 31 teams turned up on what was a very cold, snowy night. Lucky

for the teams and the organisers that the event was indoors nonetheless it was still FREEZING.

LONDON ALEAF (pictured above) won the Champions league tournament beating Jhelum FC (3

times Muslim 5aside league winners) in a nail biting penalty shoot out

Controversy unfortunately scarred the Uefa cup tournament with the eventual winners being

ASIANO'S who beat Bengal Tigers in another penalty shoot out.

Beckton Season Kicking Off

The season also brought to

the forefront the talents of

several players. Ali went

on to secure the golden

boot for scoring 16 times

over the season but young-

sters Arman and Naz also

impressed by each scoring

14 times. Goalkeeper An-

tony Piper made several

crucial saves and went on

to win the best goalkeeper

award.

Ilford Rangers left winger,

Fayaz, stated “it was a

The season had many twists

and turns and the title was

decided on the last game of

the season. Ilford Rangers,

who had dominated in the

early part of the season,

were up against the experi-

enced side of Abhi Javan

United. The first game be-

tween these two teams

ended 6 – 2 to Ilford Rang-

ers, but since then Abhi

Javan United got several

key players back into the

squad. Amongst them was

their star striker Ali who

went on to score several

goals in the final game. That

game ended with a victory

to Abhi Javan United who

went on to lift the trophy.

The inaugural season of the

Newcomm Community

Football League has come

to an end and after 12 com-

petitive games Abhi Javan

United came out victorious.

The league was set up by

Developing Minds Football

Club (DM FC) in order to

get local people playing

football in a friendly yet

competitive manner. 4

teams entered the first sea-

son and were given the op-

portunity to play 11 a side

football in East Ham. For

many of the players it was

the first opportunity for

them to play 11-a-side foot-

ball with full FA rules.

was too great for us but

we had fun along the

way.”

The season brought to-

gether people from dif-

ferent communities and

different age groups to

share a common interest.

Some special rules were

introduced for the league

such as a „no swearing

rule‟ which allowed

teams to play in a

friendly environment.

The league also allowed

teams and players to gain

some experience and to

go on and progress their

footballing adventure.

Players from Newham

AllStars and East London

United have decided to

combine forces and enter

a team into the East Lon-

don and Essex League.

Season 2: will be starting

in April. Any teams in-

terested in taking part,
