Six Ways to Bring Youth Back to the Masjid

Six Ways to Bring Youth Back to the Masjid


Six Ways to Bring Youth Back to the Masjid

One of the modern-day challenges that Muslims face is successfully attracting and tying their youth to the local Islamic community center or masjid, as regular and eager attendees.
It is not uncommon for parents of most older Muslim children viz. teens and teenagers, to feel as if they have to coerce, entice, if not literally drag, their wards to the masjid to pray salah or to attend an event. Many parents have to watch with dismay, as the advent of college life for their eighteen year old offspring practically translates to the end of their visits to the masjid.
On the other hand, there are inspiring examples of youngsters who willingly remain active from the start at their local masjid, and even after they move away to live independently on college campuses, they remain masjid regulars, by actively coordinating events at the local MSA musalla (prayer place of the university’s Muslim Student Association).
So the question arises, that if a parent of a baby, toddler, or young child harbors the vision of seeing their offspring grow up to be a regular masjid-goer, what can and should they do, to practically implement this noble vision from the start of their parenting journey?
Put Yourself in Their Shoes First
One of the most effective mental ‘exercises’ that a parent, teacher or youth mentor can undertake in order to enhance their empathy and compassion towards youngsters, and to allow themselves to ‘see’ things from the point of view of the youth, is to go back in time and try to recall their own childhood experiences regarding a particular situation that involves motivating the youth to come towards Deen.
For example, if you would like a child to read more Islamic literature, try to recall what encouraged and inspired you to read the same when you were a child. Try to bring to mind all the books and/or newspapers/magazines that you liked reading at that age.
This mental exercise works wonders, but it takes deliberate, proactive efforts by adults, and is more difficult to do with advancement in age.
The same exercise can help parents and community leaders better understand how they can make the masjid a place where the youth would like to willingly and eagerly hang out more.
They should try to recall what they loved about attending the masjid with their own parents, as children. And if they didn’t go to a masjid (e.g. because they were born to non-Muslim parents), then which places did they liked to visit the most with their parents as children? What did they enjoy doing the most during these outings?
Start Them Early
For those Muslims who have babies and toddlers, it is easy to start taking their little ones regularly to the masjid, but it is also imperative that they train them side by side about how to behave there.
The younger the child, the easier he or she is to train to behave well at the masjid. Besides attending taraweeh during Ramadan, and jumuah prayers on a weekly basis, parents and community leaders should facilitate programs and accommodations at the masjid that welcome young Muslims.
For example, investing in setting up small, private areas for: nursing mothers to breastfeed and change their infants, toilet and ablution facilities, a cafeteria or snack bar, a play area for smaller children on the premises, and/or paid crèche facilities during lectures and large-scale events.
It will take not just monetary investment and a paradigm shift in the thinking of the community elders (especially those older Muslim men who believe in the ideology that a masjid is men’s zone only, that doesn’t welcome women and children), but also architectural-design-remodeling efforts to make sure that the masjid becomes a place where younger Muslims (who will become the adult Muslims of the next generation) are welcomed as soon as, if not before, the day they are born!
Make Youth Feel Welcome and Valued
In order to attract Muslim (and non-Muslim) youth to a masjid or Islamic center, it has to be a place where they are made to feel not just welcome, but also valued for who they are, for example through what they can offer in terms of time and services as a human resource.
By delegating easy-to-do tasks to youngsters at events that are fun and interesting for them to attend, this can be accomplished. Bake sales for charity, sports events, babysitting duties, printing and publishing simple things such as event flyers or colorful newsletters, teaching Quran to younger children, and assisting adults in other simple, management-related tasks would be good options to involve the youth at the masjid to make them feel valued.
Be the Change You Wish to See
Adults of the Muslim community who are active in the da’wah circuit, and who volunteer regularly for masjid events, should keep an alert, critical eye on their own behavior, persona and conduct whilst they are there.
This is because the younger Muslim generation keenly observes the adults they see at the masjid or Islamic center. They also subconsciously compare the apparent character traits of these adult Muslims to the mannerisms, conduct, level of politeness and personas of non-religious, secular-minded Muslims and non-Muslims whom they observe outside the masjid, in their social circles and educational institutes.
If the adults at the masjid come out lesser in these mental comparisons made by an impressionable little child, that child will eventually want to stop coming to the masjid as they grow older. This is because he or she will automatically think to themselves, “I don’t want to become/end up like these stiff, rude, smelly people with crass manners, who are always so stern with me as compared to that nice, smartly-dressed, always-smiling lady manager at [any children’s public place], who treats me so much better whenever I visit her establishment!”
Relocate if Possible
Once a married Muslim couple has their first child, their strategic life decisions should be made whilst keeping in mind the impact that they will have on their child’s moral and religious upbringing.
That is why, for ensuring that their child grows up ‘tied to’ the masjid as a regular and eager attendee, a Muslim couple living in non-Muslim majority areas around the world should try to relocate to a city in which a ‘happening’ Islamic center is within a short driving distance.
Many Muslim couples make the decision of relocation, while their children are little, solely on the basis of the salary or career boost that the move will allow them to obtain. Most do not get concerned by the fact that the nearest halal food store and masjid is in another city, over an hour’s drive away.
As their children grow older and enter their teens, the parents begin to practically witness the negative impact that their past choices and decisions regarding the family’s relocation due to careers or citizenship, have had on their offspring’s religious inclination and level of iman (faith).
These parents then resort to desperate damage control through impulsive, aggressive parenting behavior to undo the negative outcome of their laxity in implementing their children’s moral training during the latter’s formative childhood years.
Many a time, such parents end up failing to bring their youngsters back to the masjid.
That is why, it is very important for Muslim parents to live near a masjid, especially in non-Muslim countries.
Perform Hajj & Umrah with Your Children
Last but not least, and this point in intended especially for Muslim parents living in the West – it is very important to take young children for hajj, at least once, and for umrah every few years, if parents desire to see them regularly attend the masjid for prayers and other events as adults.

Even if it means sacrificing a couple of foreign vacations (including the family’s yearly visits ‘back home’ to their ancestral lands), Muslim parents living in the West should endeavor to save extra money over the years to go for the hajj pilgrimage once, as a family, and to perform a umrah every few years, as part of their long-term investment plans for their children, just the way they set aside money for their college education.

Many a young person returns from hajj and umrah a changed Muslim, with a new, firm resolve to increase in faith and good deeds. The experiences of seeing the holy Ka’bah and praying in both the haramain (masjids) in Saudi Arabia, will invigorate religious faith and leave a lasting, spiritual impact on their young children, Insha’Allah.

Incorporating a few, if not all, of the above suggestions will make it possible for the adults in all Muslim communities worldwide to securely ‘tie’ their little ones to the masjid from childhood, Insha’Allah.

To the heartbroken one, your prayers can become a reality

To the heartbroken one, your prayers can become a reality

Approximately two years ago, my mum and I were talking about Hajj and Umrah (pilgrimage) and she told me how much she wanted to go. She’d always watch the live coverage of Hajj, Umrah and Friday khutbahs (sermons) they show on TV and dreamt of living that experience one day. Even though we could afford to go Umrah, something or another would always come up, whether it was school, university or work.

I was adamant that I wanted to make my mum’s dream come to fruition. That Ramadan, I kept making the same duaa: to be able to go Umrah with my mum. I remember constantly making that same prayer while in the state of sujood (prostration), after praying, before breaking my fast, during taraweeh (the night prayer) and during tahajud (prayer in the last third of the night).

Ramadan had passed and a few weeks later, an advertisement came up on TV about a game show called ‘5 Pillars’ which tested your knowledge on, of course, the five pillars of Islam. They announced that the winner would receive two Umrah tickets. I entered the competition, not really thinking they’d get back to me, but a couple of weeks later they emailed me and told me I’d been selected to take part in the show.

There were a series of rounds; I won all the rounds and was told I was put through to the finals! I was extremely nervous, but I continued to make duaa. The day of the finals came and I was up against a guy who had hardly got any answers wrong up until this point and I had this horrible feeling that I was going to lose. But I pushed on, and in the rapid fire round, I got the highest number of correct answers the show had ever had.

They announced me as the winner and my mum and I were completely speechless! I couldn’t believe I had won, as I didn’t even think I would make it to the finals, but I did. However, I knew I didn’t win because I was overly smart, pious or even lucky, I just had a strong belief in the power of duaa and the generosity of God.

I got to perform Umrah and what made it even better was that I also managed to fulfil my mother’s wish, Alhamdulillah (all praise to God). Umrah was a surreal experience and a journey that I hope everyone gets the chance to go on, and I hope my parents and I are able to complete Hajj in the future too.

Ever since then, I have never underestimated the power of duaa and the doors it opens, and when I look back on all the times I’ve made duaa, I can’t say I’ve ever been disappointed. We often forget the power God possesses in giving us what we want and desire, despite him being Al-Wadud (the loving), Al-Malik (the King/absolute ruler) and Al-Mujeeb (the One who responds).

I decided to share this to give some hope to those who have been making duaa but feel like they are never heard, to the person who makes the same duaa every day but wants to give up, to those who feel alone, and to those who doubt as to whether God actually listens to our prayers. I guarantee you, He does. You’ve got to put effort in and be patient, but pair whatever you want with duaa. No duaa is too big. He always listens.

Christians and Muslims

Christians and Muslims

Islam is a religion that embodies peace, mercy, tolerance, and kindness. To learn about Islam’s stance on Christians, open the Holy Qur’an and look to the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his interactions with Christians. Mainstream media and radical groups like ISIS are misrepresenting Islam and our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him).

The first encounter Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had with Christians was a positive one, and it goes back to when the Prophet (peace be upon him) was twelve years old. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) accompanied his uncle, Abu Talib, on a business journey to Syria. On their way, and on the outskirts of Syria, they came across a Christian monk, Bahira.

Bahira had studied old manuscripts which informed of a final prophet who would come forth from Arabia. What caught Bahira’s attention was a particular caravan from Makkah which was   shaded by a cloud that hovered closely above them. The cloud moved as the caravan moved, and did not go any further when they stopped; as if it were providing shade for a person or people in the group. He also noticed that a tree lowered its branches over the caravan to provide further shade. He realized that this caravan must contain someone extraordinary.

The monk invited the merchants to a feast. They accepted the invitation and Bahira saw in Muhammad (peace be upon him) the signs of the prophet as described in his scriptures.

He said to Muhammad’s uncle, “This is the master of all humans. Allah will send him with a Message which will be a mercy to all beings.”

Bahira told Muhammad’s uncle to take him back to Makkah to protect him.

Indeed, Bahira’s prediction came true. In adulthood, when Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) first received revelation from Allah, he was shaken with fear and he told his wife, Khadija, what had happened. She took him to her cousin, Waraqa ibn Nawfal, who was a respected man and a well known Christian scholar.

Waraqa said, “This is the Angel of Revelation, just as he had come to Moses. I wish I were younger. I wish I could live up to the time when your people would turn you out.”

“If I should be alive to that day, then I would support you strongly,” Waraqa said.

A few days later, Waraqa died.

When Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) openly called people to Islam, the pagans in Makkah severely persecuted the new Muslims. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) knew that Ashamah Negus, the king of Abyssinia (Ethiopia), was a fair and peaceful ruler, so he permitted some of his followers to escape to Abyssinia.

The fleeing Muslims were welcomed and received with hospitality by the Christian king, Negus. The disbelievers of Quraish in Makkah were indignant that the Muslims were finding a safe haven to worship freely in Abyssinia so they sent envoys to Negus to demand that he hand over the Muslims. The men of Quraish went to Negus to instill hatred of the Muslims in the hearts of the Christians. They said that the followers of Muhammad (peace be upon him) blasphemed Jesus Christ.

The king summoned the Muslim emigrants and asked them what they believed about Jesus Christ.

Jafar bin Abi Talib, Prophet Muhammad’s cousin, said, “We speak about Jesus as we have been taught by our Prophet (peace be upon him), that is, he is the servant of Allah, His Messenger, His spirit and His Word breathed into Virgin Mary.”

Negus responded, “Even so do we believe. Blessed be you, and blessed be your master.”


Negus refused to expel the Muslims from Abyssinia, and they lived unharmed in Abyssinia for several years until it was safe for them to travel to Madinah where Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had migrated.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) never forgot the kindness that Negus showed to his followers. When Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) received news of the king’s death he was saddened and he made prayers for him.

It was narrated that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said to his companions, “Today a pious man from Ethiopia (Negus) has expired; come to offer the funeral prayer.” And his companions lined up in rows and they prayed for Negus.

After Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) migrated to Madinah and established the Muslim community there, a delegation of Christians from Najran (the area which is present day Yemen) visited the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Madinah. There was only a small Christian population in Madinah and Makkah; the majority of Christians lived in Najran.


Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had been sending official letters to different countries and their rulers, inviting them to Islam. Few of the Najran Christians converted to Islam; the majority of them did not change their religion after these invitations. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sent a representative to them, Mughira ibn Shu’ba, to explain the religion of Islam. After discussions with Mughira, the Christians of Najran decided to send a group of people to visit the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Madinah. The delegation was made up of about 60 well learned Christians; a bishop, 45 scholars, and 15 men. Their intention was to learn the nature of the revelations Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was receiving.



When the Najran delegation reached Madinah, they debated with the Prophet (peace be upon him) for two or three days in the masjid. The Christians prayed in the masjid where the Muslims prayed. The whole visit was a peaceful dialogue between Christians and Muslims, and it was the first time that Christians prayed in a masjid.  



Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warmly welcomed the Najran delegation and provided them with a place to stay in Madinah. He even ordered that their tent be pitched for them by the Muslims. Although the Christians of Najran and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) disagreed on a lot of issues, they had some commonalities in their faiths.

There are many commonalities between Christians and Muslims that we can use to work together in building bridges and bringing peace among societies, such as loving your neighbor, wanting for others what you want for yourself, being merciful, and saying a kind word.

A verse in the Holy Qur’an shows that there is amiability between Christians and Muslims.

{You will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.} (Chapter 5, verse 82)

Harboring and spreading hate towards Christians, whom the Qur’an described as People of the Book, was not in the tradition of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Ruling About The Pregnant Lady

Ruling About Umrah Performed By The Pregnant Ladysource: flickr

Ruling About The Pregnant Lady

The Harram is the dream destination for the entire Muslim Ummah without any discrimination of men and women. The Allah does not prevent any of the Muslim from visiting the House (Kaaba) other than certain specific situations. Muslims regardless of sex, caste, creed and nation are always welcomed in the Makkah. Umrah is the journey to the Makkah which the Muslim can undertake at any time during the year. Although it is not obligatory, yet it is highly preferred rite in Islam. Umrah packages 2015 are offered for the Muslims from almost every corner of the world.

There are different rulings about the performance of Hajj and Umrah depending upon the situation nature of circumstances. Certain rulings are just regarding the women, as the problems and situation of the women altogether differ from the men. When it is the matter of a pregnant woman, there is no reason why a pregnant woman should not perform the Umrah. A pregnant woman is in a state of purity, she has to pray and fast, and if she is divorced by Talaaq, her divorce is acceptable according to the Sunnah. She can perform the Umrah during her pregnancy as well.

It is narrated in the Sunnah that Asma bint Umays R.A, went out for Hajj with the Prophet, peace be upon him when she was pregnant and approaching full term, and she gave birth at the Meeqat. It is further narrated by the Ayesha R.A that she gave birth to a boy, name Muhammad ibn Abi Aakr, at the place of Sharjah and the Prophet, peace be upon him, told Abu Bakr to tell her to do ghusl and enter Ahram. Narrated by Muslim, 1209.

If a woman is undertaking the Umrah, then her pregnancy is no excuse for her to be restrained for the performance of the same. She can avoid the places where there is too much crowding and pushing and shoving. If she cannot perform Tawaf and Saee, then she can do so in a wheelchair, and or assign anyone on her place to perform the same. Many people manage to do Umrah in comfort without any hardship.

A woman who is pregnant and trustworthy doctors tell her that going for Umrah will pose a risk to her or her baby because she is sick or weak or for some other reason, then she should be prevented from performing Umrah that year. This is indicated by the words of the Prophet: “There should be no harming nor reciprocating harm.” (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 2340)

Nowadays the Umrah package 2017 UK  suppliers are making each arrangement regarding the issues arising in any  medical situation of the pregnant ladies. The pregnant women can perform their Umrah easily now with the help of Umrah packages 2015.

Ka’bah First House Built for Humanity

Ka’bah First House Built for Humanity

Ka’bah First House Built for Humanity

The Ka’bah has been built or adjusted on several occasions throughout history. The most famous builders are; the angels who originally constructed it; the first man and prophet, Adam (AS); Ebrahim (AS) with the help of his son Ismail (AS); by the Quraysh during the Jahiliyyah period (this was witnessed by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when he was 25 years old) and by Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) in 65 AH who rebuilt it according to the wish of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).

Directly above the Ka'bah, at its zenith, there is a corresponding place in the heavens called the Baytul Ma’moor which holds the same status there as the Ka'bah does here on earth. Muslims perform umrah of within Ka'bah. Umrah is known to be the ‘minor Hajj’ and is a Sunnah act performed at any time of the year except for the five days of Hajj, in which it is makrooh, or disliked, to perform Umrah. One who steps out in the path of Umrah is considered a pilgrim until he reaches back home.

In a hadith found in the book of Ibn Maajah, The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The performers of Hajj and Umrah are deputations of Allah (SWT). If they call Him, He answers them and if they seek His forgiveness, He forgives them.” This hadeeth clearly shows the great significance of Umrah and how much Allah (SWT) loves those who sacrifice their time and wealth for His cause. And if you are seeking for forgives and want to go the holy place ka'bah for the forgiveness of sins. And if you are searching for Umrah Packages

Asking forgiveness; A great honor

saudigazette.com.sa

Asking forgiveness; A great honor

We should repent soon after committing a sin. The greater the sin, the greater our repentance should be. Know that as time passes by you will begin to lose the sense of urgency for asking for forgiveness from Allah.

Repenting is something more than seeking the forgiveness of your Lord. There are many more important matters related to repentance. Once you start repenting sincerely from the bottom of your heart, and only for Allah’s sake; then gradually Allah will bless you and grant you a deeper understanding and make you stronger in the faith. A sense of humility must also accompany the repentance.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “When a person repents, Allah rejoices more than one of you who found his camel after he lost it in the desert.” 
(Narrated by Bukhari, no. 6309)

The aforementioned Hadith is a beautiful reminder which encourages us to repent.

How beautiful and blessed he or she would be in making Allah happy? Isn’t this the world’s greatest feeling? Isn’t this what we strive for as Muslims; the pleasure of Allah?

Repentance or tawbah is something that is between you and Allah; your Creator, Sustainer, and Cherisher. It is something that we should do often (not just in Ramadaan or Haj), because Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:

{Surely, Allah loves those people who constantly repent to Him (do Tawbah to Him).} (Chapter 2, verse 222)

Notice Allah did not say, “Allah loves the Taa’ibeen (those who repent)”, but He said, “Tawwabeen,” which means those who constantly, over and over, repent to Allah.


We are human and sometimes we tend to stray off the path for a while. What should we do when we realise we erred? How do we ensure that our repentance is sincere, consistent, and successful?

There are three main steps one must take in order to repent sincerely.

• Regret deeply with a sincere heart for the sin you committed.


• Return to Allah for forgiveness.


• Make a strong intention never to return to that same sin again.

You might have heard people saying that they have sinned so much that they don’t deserve Allah’s forgiveness. That is incorrect. How can you think that Allah will not forgive you? Allah said numerous times in the Holy Qur’an that He is The Oft-Forgiving and The Most Compassionate; how could you lose hope in Him? 


During the path on sincere repentance, it is almost as though your heart is blossoming like a flower. 

Allah’s love for the repentance of his servants is as vast as an ocean. The ocean of Allah’s love is scattered with seashells and pearls. Our target is to find the seashells and discover the beautiful pearls which are those special secretive moments only between you and Allah.


That moment of discovering the pearls is likened to the moment when you feel content, when you feel happy and satisfied with your repentance to Allah.

Never think that Allah will not forgive us. Repent with sincerity and remember that Allah loves His servants and He will definitely accept our repentance. The verses in the Holy Qur’an on Allah’s forgiveness give us hope.

{And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.} (Chapter 73, Verse 20)

Why Makkah’s marble flooring is cool to touch

FOR anyone who has performed the Umrah or Haj pilgrimages, they will have probably noticed the coolness under foot when they stepped onto the marble floors of the Grand Mosque and around the Holy Kaaba in Makkah.

Many have debated the reason behind the cold feeling, given Saudi Arabia’s searing summer temperatures.

The office of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques told Al Arabiya that the main reason was behind the type of marble used.

Saudi Arabia imports rare Thassos marble flooring from Greece that reflects the sun’s rays and in turn the heat during the day.

Authorities have brushed off claims that the real reason behind the coolness was a series of cold water pipes laid beneath the marble floor. — Al-Arabiya English

Holy Umrah and Youth

Holy Umrah and Youth

However, young Muslims are expected above all to play an important role in the advancement of Islam.
Muslim youth do all things with the aim of serving Allah. Some time and try their time spending witch friends offers the opportunity to share Islam. Young Muslims has great impact in the history of Islam. They try to refrain from backbiting jealousy and try to be focus instead on learning Islamic knowledge and practicing the Islamic values. In this modern era a Muslim youth has limited understanding of the Quran's complexities, but they always try seek all situations to behave in a way that would please Allah. In fact, when a Muslim spends his youth in worship and study of IslamComputer Technology Articles, Allah is pleased with him there is very famous saying that a person is called to be lucky who have two blessings time and health. It called to be best if you perform hajj and umrah. When you are capable you have to perform your hajj and umrah it’s obligatory.

The worship of Young Muslim always greet the Allah. The young who repentance for his sins and don’t not try that again will be rewarded by Allah. There is a saying in Islam that the young person who commit sin and make harm to himself and do all evil deeds but repent Allah will forgive him.
