Update – Online Group Quran Recitation

Urgent

Though not yet definitely confirmed, it looks that the Eid ul-Fitr will be on Friday. If so, we will miss one Section on our Quran recitation programme. Therefore, LSS invites all the subscribers to attend the final session of the scheme on 29^th of the holy month of Ramadan, concurrent with 09 Sep. 10.

In order to make the recitation on the final day of holy Ramadan up, two Sections will be recited today. Therefore, recitation, with the help of the Almighty Allah, will start at 6 pm in order to finish it well before Adhan Maghrib.

We do apologise for the programme was suspended from 26^th to 28^th of holy Ramadan. Switching the works from Liverpool Towhid Centre programmes to LSS took considerable time.

For information about joining to the scheme, please see Ramadan Kareem – Online Group Quran Recitation

LSS will be looking forward to seeing you on.

Quran Recitation Gifted to Imam Mahdi (May the Almighty Allah Hasten His Advent)

Dear faithful brothers and sisters,

Hope you enjoy minutes of Sha’baan al-Mo’azzam, the month of the Messenger of Allah. Probably, further to the spiritual position of this months preceding holy Ramadan which could interpret its relation the Prophet, five of the Prophet’s sons have been born in this month to give this honour to the sons of Adam Abu-ul-Bashar (PBUH) concurrency of life with the purposes of the whole creation. We have just passed three outstanding birthday anniversaries of three VIPs of Karbala, are waiting for another one of them and to another birthday anniversary which relates to a person whose movement will direct the world finally, and this will, by the will of God, take place in a near future.

To highlight this, and to gain best of ours from these moments, Essa, one of LSS members, has planned a full round recitation of Quran to be gifted to Imam Mahdi (PBUH) with the hope of pleasing him. Those who are interested to assist him and contribute in getting their share of this great work should text their interest to Essa on 07747786812. If you are intending a particular part (joz’) of Quran to recite, mention it in your text message, and that will be taken subject to availability. Otherwise, Essa will inform you which part you would better to recite to complete the circle. Since this decision was made in the afternoon of July 17^th, 15 parts of Quran were quickly taken until midnight. Those who cannot text Essa can leave a comment on the post. The comments will be dealt with as soon as possible to assign the parts. Please note that reciting the part assigned to you must be accomplished before Sha’baan al-Mo’azzam 15th.

May the Almighty Allah hasten the advent of our Imam (PBUH), gift mutually your gifts to His Hojjah, and make the lovely heart of our Imam (PBUH) happy with us.

Let’s pray for each other, for the faithful men and women either passed away or alive, and for visiting our Imam (PBUH) with a smile on his bright face very soon.

Rajab al-Morajjab

Rajab month has approached us, and this means that, in one order, we are approaching holy Ramadan, i.e. the greatest feast of Allah. In another order, Rajab means that the Almighty Allah is re-opening the special gates of Mersey. Definitely, the biggest Mersey gate that the Almighty Allah has ever opened has been the birth of the commander of faithfuls, Ali ibn Abi Talib (PBUH).

Several recommendations have been given by Ahl al-Bait for the believers to perform in this month. Just refer to Mafaatih al-Jinan and find lots of the means of getting the bonuses of Allah in this month. You may fancy reciting the dua of “yaa man arjuh” (یا من ارجوه) [http://www.duas.org/rajab3.htm] after every prayer. Interestingly, you can find some dua pieces issued from the site of Imam Mahdi (May Allah Advent His Great Return) as dua recommendations from our current Imam. Also, there are some short phrases that you can whisper while walking, biking, driving or on board. Fasting and visiting Imam Hussain (PBUH) by reciting Ziaarat Ashuraa has been highly recommended. For a list of a’maal in Rajab, you may visit: http://www.duas.org/rajab4.htm

And another important point, do not forget to pray for your brothers and sisters whole around the world, particularly, the Shia ones.

Let’s hope we will get enough of this month to prepare ourselves for the next step, Sha’baan.

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.
