“I bear witness that there is no God but ALLAH and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. After this I seek refuge in ALLAH from the accursed devil. I begin in the name of ALLAH, the Beneficent, the Merciful.” |

We welcome you to the Muslim Center with this beautiful Surah. This Surah consists of seven verses, and is rightly called the essence of the Qur’an. It teaches us the perfect prayer. If we can pray aright, it means that we have some knowledge of ALLAH and His attributes, of His relations to us and His creation, which includes ourselves; that we glimpse the source from which we come, and that final goal which is our spiritual destiny under ALLAH’s true judgment; then we offer ourselves to ALLAH and seek His light.
Prayer is the heart of religion and faith. We are taught a prayer that sums up our faith, our hope, and our aspiration in things that matter. We think in devotion of ALLAH’s name and His nature; We praise Him for His creation and His cherishing care; We call to mind the realities, seen and unseen; we offer Him worship and ask His guidance; and we know the straight from the crooked path by the light of His grace that illumines the righteous.

Surah 4 Verse 29 |

Friday, August 22, 2008 Kuthbah : "Come to Prayer, Come to Success" Part 2 "And I have chosen you, so listen to that which is inspired to you. Verily, I am Allah! There is none worthy of worship but I, so worship Me and offer prayer perfectly for My remembrance." [Taha 13-14] In the first part of this series we looked at the historical significance the salat has played in all societies that ever achieved any source of success. The salat as stated a few weeks ago is the only act of ibadah that Allah gave directly to his Messenger on the night of Ascension. Inshallah this week, the discussion will focus on the practicality of salat in our everyday lives. Lessons such as unity, the ability to have our sins forgiven and comfort are all valuable assets that the salat provide to the Mumin. Salaam Chris Lovelace |
