Supplication on the day of Arafah

Sheikh yasir Qadri said :   Today is the 9th of Dhul Hijjah, the Day of Arafah. It is a day of prayer for the pilgrims, and for those of us not at Hajj. It is authentically narrated from a number of early authorities that they would spend the 9th in prayer and du'a and dhikr, sometimes congregating in the masjids, and sometimes praying at home.  Also, our Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "The best dua is the dua of Arafah," and while no doubt the lion's share of this hadith applies to the pilgrims physically at Arafat, scholars mention that the day too is blessed, even for non-pilgrims.  So fast on this day, and do as many good deeds as you can, and especially make du'a for all your worldly and spiritual needs.  May Allah accept from the pilgrims and allow them to return safe to their lands, and may Allah accept from us and answer our prayers and allow us to join the pilgrims in future years! Ameen.... ‘The best of supplications is the supplication on...

Terrorism has no religion

WORLDPOST Muslims Are Not Terrorists: A Factual Look at Terrorism and Islam by Omar Albatour  Every  time an act of terror or shooting occurs, Muslims closely watch the news with extreme trepidation praying that the suspect is not Muslim. This is not because these terrorists are likely to be Muslim but rather because in the instances where they happen to be, we see amplified mass media coverage and extreme unjustified hatred towards Muslims.  As a Muslim, I am tired of condemning terrorist attacks being carried out by inherently violent people who hijack my religion. I am tired of condemning these attacks to people who are calm and apathetic  when Muslims are killed  by these same radicalized terrorists. I am tired of hearing the word “terrorist” not being used when the suspect in a terrorist attack is a non-Muslim. I am tired of the “mentally disabled” excuse being recycled when the suspect in a terrorist attack is a Caucasian. I am tir...
