The following Islamic Peace Prayer was recited by Zubeda Raihman:  

Arabic:

Asalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahe Wa Baraktahu  

“Bismillah-hir-rahman ni Raheem. Allahumma antassalaam, wa minkassalaam, wa Alaika yerjessalaam. Hayyena rabbana bissalame waádhkilna darassalaame tabarakta rabbana wa taälaita ya zaljalal-i-walikram” Ameen.  

Translation:  

In the name of God, the beneficent the merciful.  

Oh Allah! You are peace personified; you are the source of peace for all other creatures; peace always turns towards Thee. Oh Creator and Sustainer! keep us alive with peace, and let us enter the Home of Paradise. Oh Lord! Oh Possessor of awe and honor! You are sublime and bounteous. So be it Oh Lord.

“You will not enter Paradise until you believe,  And you will not believe, until you love one another, And you will not love one another until you promote peace among you.  Silent reflection: “Let peace fill our hearts, our world and our universe.”

RAMADAN MUBARAK 18 June 2015

By the Grace and Mercy of Allah Most High, we have been blessed to see another Ramadan – to feel the joy of this wonderful, special time which

has been celebrated through the Islamic ages.

Although every Ramadan is special, somehow there is something even more special this year – it is the first year, in our memory at least, where those who

go by the moon sighting and those who favour scientific methods are as one!   Indeed, Allah has made it easy for us – praise be to Him for His Mercy.

Insha’Allah may its beauty, its healing power, and its miracle of uniting the Ummah, be witnessed by us all.

Surely none of us knows how long our time upon this Earth may be, whether long or short, this knowledge is with Allah Alone –

How splendid then that we have this time to start afresh.  It does not mean that our trials will not be great, as this era is one of pain,

But with every pain Allah is there to comfort, with every blow He is there to uplift, if we will but call upon Him:

“When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them); I listen to the prayer of every supplicant when he calleth upon Me:

Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way” Surah Al Baqarah (2) 186.

It is no error that this beautiful Qur’anic promise is within the verses relating to Ramadan – it is very special.

Again – Ramadan Mubarak

Fi Aman Allah
