What am I going to do without tea in Ramadan?

In the summer months in the UK there is a debate over when Fajr time starts.

The main cause of this is that the sun doesn't go far enough below the horizon for pitch black conditions to occur.

This causes a problem because Fajr time is supposed to be when the "true dawn" starts from pitch black conditions.

Based on the unique conditions of being at such a high latitude, different groups of scholars have come up with different solutions, the most conservative of which is to start Fajr in the middle of the night.

The main solutions are to either use a different point to decide when Fajr starts (hint: the "true dawn" was not the true test of fajr, but a test that worked where tested with the real requirements that were laid out in the Qur'an).

When democracy doesn't deliver the western friendly face that the people should have voted for, ofcourse he should be appointed after a coup.

Mohammed ElBaradei was the darling face for the western media who would have loved for him to win last years presidential elections to complete a fairytale story. The only problem was that he was little known inside egypt and his bid to become president failed spectacularly.

Now, that is not a problem as he doesn't need to win any popular vote to be appointed Prime Minister. All he has to do is utter a few spineless words. Words supporting the army, condemning the Muslim Brotherhood for "plotting" before the coup. (Plotting what? support for legitimacy).

I wanted to make a collection on the blessings of making wudhu, being in wudhu and sleeping in the state of wudhu, so I'll start off and the rest of you can add what you like here too.

The Egyptian president has fallen, forced out through a combination of mass protest and the military.

I wonder if the people on the street even realise that they have been played by the old guard.

Morsi, from the Muslim Brotherhood, had a tough reign in power, elected only a year ago.

Powerless President

When before the elections it looked like there was a possibility that a Muslim Brotherhood candidate might win, the military had made a decree removing the powers of the president, in essense making him a puppet. Even then they were forced to allow him to be president by the people who at the time did not want a member of the old regime to already subvert the revolution.

Make it a good Ramadan x

Just think about it. a website on a phone.

wow. Just wow.

Back to reality.

The current peach-coloured theme (called "insight") doesn't really work well on small screens. or even big screens. Its a load of peach. and orange.

So to get around those limitations, a new theme has been made - "FiveThirteen", which has been made primarily to work well on smaller screens. You can change between the two - there is a switch theme box on the top left on the peach theme, and on the top right (or below the main content on mobiles) on the grey/new theme.

thinking abt setting a coupla reading groups. each reading a diff book. it'd be via skype

books ive considered are when the moon split and "journey to Allah" by ibn al qayyim and "explanation of 3 fundamental principles"

its mainly for people who are totally free during ramadan and want to use those reading groups to add structure to their day.

i was thinking early afternoon for them. on different days of the week. anyway, pm me if you're interested with available days of week and times.

Grooming of young girls is a crime against humanity and as Muslims, especially leaders of the community , should definitely speak out against it. As the Prophet mentioned when you see an evil you should stop it with your hands, speak out against it with your tongue or at least deny it in your heart as this is the weakest of Imaan. Especially when perperators seem to be some Muslims across the country- the Muslim community has been trying to hide this issue under the carpet.
