Jazaak Allah

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,

This is the final segment on the Prophet Muhammed’s beloved companions and their tremendous acts for the sake of Allah. In this segment we look at Sayyidina Talha and his greatest contributions to the safety of the Prophet in the Battle of Badr and his role as a matyr for the sake of Allah. Dr Basem also narrates to us about Sayyidina Abu Ubaida and examples of his heroic contributions to defend the Prophet from mortal danger in the battle of Badr. We also look at another woman companion Um Umar who defended the Prophet by putting her life and her childrens’ lives at risk just so she can see the Prophet in the Hereafter.

Dr Basem closes this emotional lecture with the closest and wisest companion of the Prophet, the dearly beloved Sayyidena Abu Bakr and his connection with the Prophet Muhammed. He also narrates the last moments on this Earth of our beloved Prophet Muhammed. There was not a dry tear in the Mosque.

Jazaak Allah

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,

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

This is the second part of the Kathira of the same title given by Brother Smail. The first segment gave a synopsis of Shaytan’s role in Ramadan and touched upon the importance of An Nafs in keeping our belief in Allah in tact.  This segment looks at the point of view of some scholars as to why Shaytan is still influencing us to disobey Allah eventhough he is supposed to be chained during Ramadan. It certainly was an eye opener for all of us.

This was definitely a Brother Smail special, so take 10 minutes of your time to listen to the valuable knowledge passed onto us by him. Better yet, come to Yusuf Mosque for Iftar for the rest of Ramadan and listen to Brother Smail and other reputed speakers upclose and personal sharing their knowledge  with you at no cost to you.

We look forward to seeing you at Yusuf Mosque.

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.
