Islamic Sessions for Young Muslims

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful


Islamic Sessions for Young Muslims


One of the issues that Muslim families have in western countries is how to teach Islamic rules and beliefs to their youngsters and children.  The issue steps into more difficulties when the children are born in a country with non-Arabic language and there is no certain training on how to teach Fiqh and rules of Shriah to them.  Here an Islamic class in the language of the area will be of great help.  On the other hand, Muslims are supposed to know their duties on what they encounter daily.

Liverpool Towhid Centre, following its excellent performance since its latest re-development, has planned to run Islamic classes for the children and youngsters on biweekly basis.  Two main aims of the classes are to train the basic rules of Shriah and provide the ground for understanding the principles of Islam.  A native English who has studied Fiqh and Islamic studies in Qom will lecture within a very friendly environment.  Therefore, Liverpool Towhid Centre invites the parents to bring their children to the courses and also youngster to attend the classes.  It is expected that the attendees will learn and understand further about Islam to practise it with more wisdom and enjoy their religion.

Acts of the Holy Month of Rajab

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful


Acts of the Holy Month of Rajab


The Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) said, “The month of Rajab is the month of Allah (SWT); Sha’baan is my month; and Ramadhan is the month of my people. Therefore, if anyone observes fasting on a day of this month, he will be seeking the pleasure of Allah (SWT)…

Here is the month of Rajab; the month for self-purification. May God help all of us purify ourselves from evil desires and bad habits, and help us overcome our worldly desires.
First day of the month of Rajab is the birthday anniversary of Imam Baqir (PBUH), the 5th Imam of Shia and a famous figure in Muslim world. Congratulations to all.
Imam Mohammad Baqir said, “Learn the good words, even from those who do not act upon it.
“Convey my greetings to my Shias. Order them to fear Allah, the Great. Their rich should visit their poor. Their sound should visit their ill. Their living should attend the funeral of their demised. They should meet each other in their houses. Indeed their meeting each other enlivens our affair. May Allah have mercy on one who enlivens our affair and puts the best of it into effect. Say to them, we will suffice nothing for them with Allah except through their good deeds. They will not obtain our intercession but through piety and hard work. Indeed the most intense of all people in regret on the Day of Judgment is the one who describes a certain deed, and then he does other than it.” (Uyun al-Akhbar wa Funun al-Atha)

The Holy Month of Rajab is upon us. The largest number of Islamic occasions in an Islamic year is within this month.

Important Dates and Events in Rajab
1st – Birthday anniversary of Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (PBUH)
3rd – Martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali Al-Naqi Al-Hadi (PBUH)
10th – Birthday anniversary of Imam Muhammad Al-Taqi Al-Jawad (PBUH)
13th – Birthday anniversary of Amir ul-Mo’mineen Ali Ibn Abi Talib (PBUH)
14th – Birthday anniversary of Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) (according to another source 1st of Zhul Hajjah has been mentioned too)
15th – Demise of Lady Zainab (PBUH)
25th – Martyrdom anniversary of Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (PBHU)
26th – Night of Me’raaj and Ba’that (proclaim) of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF)
28th – Imam Hussain Ibn Ali (PBUH) leaves Medina for Karbala

Islamic Insights – Allah loves us too much to let us fall behind in good deeds – He has gifted us with an opportunity in the form of Rajab that easily trumps the ‘business’ excuse! This blessed month is filled with simple ways to develop a stronger sense of God-consciousness; so why let it slip by unnoticed?

The Gifts of Rajab
Rajab is a month of many special days, including the birth anniversaries of our first, fifth and ninth Imams, the day when the Prophet (PBUH&HF) officially proclaimed Islam, and the day when he ascended to the heavens (Me’raaj). To top it all off, the Almighty Allah (SWT) has made it an especially honoured month for us to seek His forgiveness, to earn rewards, and – above all – to attain nearness to Him through worship.

Do not forget to pray for your brothers and sisters.

Birthday Anniversary – Great Lady Fatima (PBUH)

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful


Birthday Anniversary – Great Lady Fatima (PBUH)


When Sayyeda Zahra (PBUH) was born, the Prophet was informed by Gabriel (PBUH), the angle of revelation.  Gabriel (PBUH) was the carrier of Allah’s (SWT) message to the Prophet and said, “The Almighty Allah (SWT) has sent His regard (salaam) to you and also, has sent another regard (salaam) to your newly born baby.”  The Prophet prostrated to thank and appreciate his creator.  He was extremely happy, as one of the Allah’s (SWT) promises had taken shape.  A verse had been already sent to the Prophet, promising that his posterity will be carried on but his enemy’s will not.  Also, revelation carrier (PBUH) told him that, “her (Fatima’s (PBUH) generation will be pure and auspicious. And the Almighty Allah (SWT) will put your generation continuation from her.  Great men of God (Imams) will be brought up by her and Allah (SWT) will make them His representatives on Earth after you when no revelation will be sent to people.”…

Congratulation on Sayyeda Fatima’s (PBUH) birthday anniversary.  Congratulation on the birthday anniversary of the greatest lady of the world and thereafter – as the Prophet (PBUH &HF) said.  Congratulation on the birthday anniversary of a daughter whose fragrance reminded the father (PBUH&HF) of paradise fragrance.  Congratulation on the birthday anniversary of a lady whose satisfaction was the Prophets satisfaction – as the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said.  Congratulation on the birthday anniversary of a part of the Prophet (PBUH& HF) – as he said.

Thanks to the hard work of the brothers and sisters at Liverpool Towhid Centre, Sayyeda Zahra’s (PBUH) birthday anniversary will be celebrated at this centre on Tuesday, 23 May 2011.  The programme will start at 8 pm and will finish at 10 pm with Sunset (Maghrib) and Night (Ishaa) Prayers which will be done in group prayers.  The event includes lecture, poems and fun programmes like questions and matches.  At the end of the event, the guests will be served for supper.

As Sayyeda Fatima’s (PBUH) birthday anniversary is celebrated as Ladies and Mothers’ Day in Iran, all the ladies attending the event will receive a special gift from Liverpool Towhid Centre.

Hoping to see you all there, please publicise the event to your friends and those who may be interested.

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful


Mourning Event – Martyrdom Anniversary for Great Lady Fatimah (PBUH)   –   17 April 2011


Billions of salutes to Fatimah; the greatest lady Fatima
Allah created her from light; she was the light, divine light; She was embodiment of light, Allah’s light, divine light


Again, it is heard from the Bani Haashim neighbourhood;

A voice from a lady who is a part of the Prophet (PBUH&HF) – the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said;

A voice from a lady whose soul is the greatest in the worlds – the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said;

A voice from a lady who is as delicate as the petals of the flowers – the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said;

A voice of a lady whom annoying annoys the Prophet – the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said;

A voice of a lady who is the only soul-mate of Ali (PBUH) – the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said;

A voice of a lady who is the mother of Hassan, Hussain and Zainab (PBUT) – said the Prophet (PBUH&HF);

Why is the voice so griefful?

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful


A New Category – Videos


Since LSS started off the website, two main categories of ‘News’ and ‘Pictures’ have been governing the posts uploaded on the website.  During its experience of over one year, a need to dissemination of particular duas in order to introduce their profound, spiritual content has been deeply felt.  However, the duas are all in Arabic and they have been advised to be recited in Arabic as well although dua can be read in any language that the worshipper believes can communicate to the Almighty Allah (SWT).  Therefore, LSS has decided to provide its respectful subscribers and those interested in the website with particular duas recited in warm, pleasant Arabic voice with English subscripts.  This will also help our non-Arab brothers and sisters to enjoy reciting the decent duas recommended by Ahl al-Bait (PBUT).  Some of the videos may the transliteration further to the English translation.  This will help the English speaking brothers and sisters to follow the recitation of the dua as it goes by.

LSS website will time to time upload selective videos and the subscribers will be automatically informed of what goes on the website.  If any visitor has any suggestion with regard to a particular dua to go on the LSS website, LSS would be very grateful if you could share your idea.  Also, if you have any comment about any of the videos, please kindly inform us by filling out the contact form on our website.

Please note that occasionally the translations would have some inconsistencies which is out of our control and refers back to the lack of unique reference in English-to-Arabic terminology.  We all hope this problem will be resolved in a very near future.

LSS will, by the will of Allah, introduce new categories in near future as well.

A group of guys from Manchester have asked all the faithful to hold a fast on our beloved Prophet’s (PBUH&HF) birthday with the intention of the return of our Imam (may Allah advent his advent) and freedom for our oppressed brothers and sisters in Parachinar.  It is sad to hear that our brothers and sisters in Parachinar, Pakistan, are confined by devils who claim are Muslims but have no idea what Islam is.  Please pray for them.

Hope to see you all again.

Eid-o-Zahra (PBUH)

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful


Eid-o-Zahra (PBUH)


LSS congratulates the anniversary of the imamate of our lovely imam, al-Mahdi (may Allah hasten his advent).  On such a day, the unique duty of imamate was adopted by the son of Imam Hassan al-Askari (PBUT).  Also, this day is reputed as the one on which companions of Imam Sajjad (PBUH) saw a little smile on his face after having suffered massively due to Karbala battle.  And that means great for the genuine Muslims.

As an annual tradition, Mohebban al-Mahdi Group has planned an event to celebrate the 9th of Rabi’ ul-Awwal.  The event will be on Sunday, 13 February 2011, starting from 7 pm at the latest.  This is a very fun and joyful programme which should not be missed out.  Bear in mind that the theme of the event is RED.

The venue of the meeting is:

Manchester Islamic Institute (MII)
5 Sidney Street
Off Oxford Road
Manchester     M1 7HB

To know more about Eid-o-Zahra (PBUH) please refer to our previous post at http://www.liverpool-shia.com/celebrating-eid-o-zahra-pbuh/

Hope to see you all there.
