Serenity through Sincerity: "Actions are but by Intention, and every man shall have that which he intends. That is, if a man migrates for Allah and HIS Messenger, then HIS migration was for Allah and HIS Messenger (Salallahu Alahi Wa Salam). But if a man migrates for some worldly desire or to take some woman in marriage, then his migration is for that which he intends." Migration carries many meanings, and Ramadan also carries a great variety of meanings that run almost if not completely along side with the many meanings of migration. Ramadan is a migration of the mind, in the sense that for some reason we have the strangest cravings while we're fasting, and for some reason that craving is gone when we brake our fast... and some of those cravings aren't just limited to food! Ramadan is a migration of the soul, in the sense that our desires challenge us to build us to be stronger internally. Ramadan is a migration spiritually, in the sense that our imans becomes much stronger in that one month than any other month. Ramadan is a migration of the body, in the sense that we make more prayers, make more visits to the Mosque, or at least abstain from places we know is forbidden more in this month than any other month. Ramadan is a migration of our ummah, for every Ramadan we all gather to gather, whether it is physically in the Mosque, Hajj, or even at home with family and/or friends. Or spiritually when all of our hearts and souls unite Fi-Sabilillah and for some reason we are much nicer towards one another in this one month than any other month. And saving the best for last, Ramadan is a migration to our Glorious Creator whom created us from mere dirt and brought us up from amongst that best of the people, the Mu'minoon to become "Muttaqoon (or attain God-consciousness or righteousness.) [2:183]." The ONE and ONLY whom we shall return to. For Ramadan is a preparation for the greatest Journey, Al Qyama! Wassalaam :-) and Ramadan Kariem!!!!!!! Asalamu Alaikum!!!!!!!!!!

(Peace and Mercy of God be to you!) by Manzoor Khalid http://masjidalmomineen.wordpress.com/2008/10/13/hello-world/#comment-2 Manzoor Khalid Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:10:39 +0000 #comment-2 Saturday, June 6, 2009 was second annual Family Day at Masjid Al-Momineen. It was a beautiful sight to see with so many happy faces of children, parents and elders. The Masjid volunteers in green shirts were helping, assisting, cleaning and serving, while the Security in Gold were guiding traffic and keeping the premises secure, and the management in blue were making sure that all activities are in their designated area and all responsible carry out their work with due diligence. The hustle and bustle in and around the tent was soaking in lots of fun and the joy of the day's festivities. Thanks to sister Nisa and sister Sumaira, the sisters’ area was busy with many activities of arts and crafts, face painting, hair barding, knowledge completion, supports, laughing and giggling and many fun things that went on all day. Thanks to sister Janna, this year children pony rides were a hit. Children lined up and waiting to ride the little horse and the big one was a joyous sight in itself to see. A seesaw of pulling and falling of either side in the Tug of war was no less fun either. Oh, there were so many different kinds of foods to try. You could not have gotten, Pakistani, Briyani, Somali rice, Samosas, Pakoras, cold cut Turkey, beef salami and all kinds of sweets, popsicles and ice cream sandwiches on the same counter any where else. Any item you got was delicious. Masjid was full at the time of noon prayers. Words of wisdom by Imam Siraj, Imam Furqan and Imam Muhammad were heart filling. Their advice to Muslims to inculcate love and understanding in daily life as family members at home and in the society at a large was of great benefit to the listeners. All in all, the Masjid Al-Momineen’s second annual Family Day was safe, secure and full of joy for all participants. Saturday, June 6, 2009 was second annual Family Day at Masjid Al-Momineen.
