In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful

http://tanzil.info/

Tanzil, as a volunteer work, is a Quranic project launched in early 2007 to produce a highly verified precise Quran text to be used in Quranic websites and applications. The mission in the Tanzil project is to produce a standard Quran text and serve as a reliable source for this standard text on the web.

Versatility is the most important feature of this website. Its ability of translating Quran into different languages, such as Persian, English, German, Hindi, Chinese, Bengali, Russian, Spanish, and even some rare ones like Tatar, has added to its value of being handy and easy-to-use. After selecting the language, by moving mouse over the verses, the translation appears. The user can enjoy listening to a handful of Quran recitations including an English one.

The venue of the meeting is:

Prayer Room (Ground Floor)
James Parsons Building
Liverpool John Moores University

* We have just passed the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH) which means that the leadership of Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his advent) has just started its anniversary for 1172nd year. So, happy anniversary, and we will say our congratulations to him with reciting his own special salavaat. Also, in order to respect the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH), his special salavaat will be recited. For a short history about Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH), you may find this link useful: http://zahrakarimi.blogfa.com/post-30.aspx. Further to that, 9th of Rabi’ al-Awwal is the anniversary of the earth-to-hell migration of the second usurper of the leadership of Imam Ali (PBUH) from . He and his companions falsely occupied the high position of Imam Ali (PBUH) that had already been appointed by the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF), and destroyed the stream that the Prophet had developed for directing human being for ever. Therefore, we will recite Dua Sanamy Quraysh – which is the dua that the Commander of the Believers (PBUH) used to recite in his qonut part of his prayers – to see the viewpoint of Ahl al-Bait to those usurpers.

** As there are some nice traditions about the topic of love and hate, which are worth mentioning, we will review them for this week, and will carry on discussion on Dua Nodbah by next week, God willing.

Please introduce the website to your friends studying or living in Liverpool. Thanks.

Hope to see you all again.

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful

Thursday Meeting   –   11 February 2010

Below is the timetable of the meeting:

18.30 – 18.45: Meeting up
18.45 – 19.10: Ziyaarat Jaami’ah Kabirah*
19.10 – 19.30: Discussion on Dua Nodbah (4)

The venue** of the meeting is:

Prayer Room (Ground Floor)
James Parsons Building
Liverpool John Moores University
Byrom Street
Liverpool        L3 3AF

* As we are approaching the demise anniversary of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) and the martyrdom of Imam Hassan Mojtaba (PBUH), Ziaarat Jaami’ah Kabirah would be the best to show our faith, friendship and in just one word, wilaayah to Ahl al-Bait. So, this week, along with the Shia brothers and sisters in Manchester, we will recite this ziaarat which is one of the most recommended activities expected from Shia fellows.

** Due to the e-mail of the Security Office in regard with running Thursday meetings in our previous place, we have been informed that the prayer room of John Foster building is not involved in the Liverpool Student Union, and thus, the students of the other universities are not allowed to use the room. Also, any type of gathering should be held in other places which are officially under the Liverpool Student Union, as this room is only entitled for saying prayers. Therefore, we will run our meeting of this week in the prayer room of James Parson Building, which looks to be under LSU. There is no need to swioe any card to enter this building. When you enter the building from its main gate, turn right and follow the sign posts to find the prayer room at the end of the corridor. For those arriving by car, there are three council parking lots around the area which should be free of charge for parking after 6 pm; however, I would recommend to make sure so.

Please introduce the website to your friends studying or living in Liverpool. Thanks.

Hope to see you all again.

Such as previous successful event, ziaarat, lecture and dirge will be carried out and the guests of Ahl al-Bait will be served by supper at the end of the session.

Please note that the lecture and the dirge will be run in Farsi; however, no doubt that the folks speaking other languages will be able to gain from this session as well.

Venue:

Cochrane Street
Heyworth Street

It is worth mentioning that the SatNav set may direct you to another point (‘A’ on the map picture below) close to the centre but not the exact centre location. To prevent this, you may try the address ‘Heyworth Street, Liverpool’ on your SatNav which will probably direct to a point just 150 feet down Cochrane St.

Please do circulate it among your friends.
