Most of us have been lucky enough to be born in Muslim families….I’m sure the importance of religion was stressed to us all ever since we were little.
is celebrating birthdays against islam?
do any 1 of u celebrate b'days?
since when has celebrating b'days come 2 be?
isnt it something non-muslims started of and now its become a trend for
many muslims 2 carry out
i personally dont celebrate b'days and dont attend b'day partys coz i think
its not a day to celebrate but to be sad about coz u 1 year closer 2 death..
but non of my cuzons really understand finding it a a day 2 look forward
2. its got nothing to it than cutting a cake
what do u think should b'days be celebrated ?

Assalámu'alaikum wa Rahmatulláhi wa Barakátuhu.
The purpose of this noticeboard is to advertise Islamic events taking place within the UK. These include lectures, regular circles, classes and sports activities, as well as one-off seminars, conferences and exhibitions. We also put up notices for accomodation, jobs, items for sale, Islamic projects, schools, counselling services, etc. Many of you will already be familiar with the noticeboard, having received weekly e-mails over the last year.

You know how sometimes a person feels spiritually low and far from Allah (swt).
Sometimes one lacks that high level of trust (tawakul) in Allah (swt) that they normally have…..dua’s decrease in intensity and the heart and soul become absent in prayer….
Sometimes the taunts and anti Islamic comments of people around them are taken to heart…sometimes one does not feel as Islamically at peace…..sometimes Islamic work becomes a struggle…..and ones spiritually batteries just feel low.

It was during this blessed month that the Holy Prophet 
travelled from Mecca to Jerusalem on a heavenly animal called Bur’aq.
He then ascended to heaven with angel Gabriel, met the other Prophets, led prayer and met the angels. He was shown heaven and hell and more importantly saw and met Allah (swt).
The Holy Prophet conversed directly with Allah (swt).

I would like to dedicate this thread to a good Catholic boy who is no longer with us.
My thoughts and prayers are with his parents and family.
Jean Charles de Menezes was a 28 year old boy from Brazil living in London on Scotia Road.
On 21 July 2005 the undercover police officers wrongly identified him as a potential terrorist.
He was apprehended by the London police officers.
He did not resist arrest.
The police then shot him with eight bullets in his face.
Reviving Seraph's famed thread. All props to Seraph.
Just finished up reading a bunch of interesting stuff:
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova - It's like the Da Vinci Code and Dracula mixed, really interesting read great suspense and lots of historical background on an area of the world I don't know much about - the balkans.
Any one of the Princess books by Jean Sasson (well actually by Princess Sultana) - Lilsis recommendation to me a while back, absolutely amazing books about the suicidal decadence of the Saudi Royal Princes.
and in that vein
My Forbidden Face by "Latifah" a fascinating look at life under the Taliban, but also a very informative look at life in Afghanistan over the last 30 years.
[b]Have you ever wondered why inspite of knowing the good deeds we fail to practice them or find it hard to carry them out?
have you ever wondered why some people are successful in doing good deeds and why others are not?
why is it that we find it hard to obey Allah (Swt) and find it easy to please Satan by commiting sins?
