Jazaak Allah

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,

These mini talks are given in between the Taraweeh prayers every night at the mosque.

This Kathira was full of moving stories that are sure to bring tears to your eyes as it brought tears to the brothers and sisters at the mosque that night. You will hear some emotional stories of the unwavering love of some of the Tabiyeen of the Prophet Muhammed and how his mercy was reflected on his companions.

We will hear the stories of a companion called Sayyidina Thauban who was a slave and went through torture after been kidnapped during a battle and still refused to give up on his love for the Prophet Muhammed. We will also hear about the love of the prophet by another former slave and probably the greatest Muaddin in Islamic history, Sayyidina Bilal.

We hope you enjoy the lecture as much as we did and by that it will increase our undying love to the Prophet Muhammed and his companions. Please click on the link below to listen to this lecture.

On behalf of all of us Jazaak Allah to Brother Basem

These mini talks are given in between the Taraweeh prayers every night at the mosque.

Tonight is the first in the series of moving lectures on the trully inspirational Companions of the Prophet Muhammed.
Dr. Basem starts off with a quick reminder on staying steadfast in your fasting and other recommended acts of worship because the doors of Janna are still open and to hope for Allah’s mercy as we approach one third of Ramadan. We will hear of the story of how a poor companion of Prophet Muhammed  was praised by Allah in the Quran. We will hear one of the best stories of charity by this companion that Allah personally accepted through angel Gibreel. It gives us hope that wealth is not the only way of giving Sadaqa in Allah’s sake. Dr. Basem closed out the lecture with a poignant reminder of how we Muslims in the US have been chosen to carry his message, Alhamdulillah.
