UPCOMING UTRUJJ SUMMER BEEHIVE 2009: "Words That Moved The World"

With Ramadan 2009 fast approaching do you feel prepared to harness the blessings of this month?
Ramadan is known as the month of the Qur'an. We at Utrujj believe that the best way to prepare for Ramadan is to develop intimacy with Allah and His Words, Al-Qur'an.
With this in mind we have tailored our 8th Summer Beehive to take you on a journey which starts with connecting with Allah but then focuses on your relationship with the Qur'an. The Beehive journey will end with a unique Ramadan Retreat, a preparation for body and soul.

We hope attending this Summer Beehive and focusing on Al-Qur'an will transform your Ramadan experience, after all they are the Words that Moved the World.

In an interview with BBC Arabic radio, Dr Ibrahim Negm, an advisor to the Grand Mufti, said Sheikh Ali Jumua supported a view already outlined by Mohammed Tantawi, the Grand Imam of the al-Azhar Mosque.

published by Dawud on 14 May, 2009 - 21:09

Dear Admin,

Since I upgraded from I.E7 to I.E.8 I have noticed problems with my Windows Live page. Normally when you had it on remember my email settings, the page would remember multiple email addresses and you would just have to click your adress and type your password.
