MOHORRAM
– KORAN PREACHINGS
Islam
means ‘submission’ (to the will of God).
A Muslim is ‘one who submits’ who is guided in every daily act by
the word of God. Koran preaches man’s fate, judgments, rewards, and punishment -
Paradise & Hell.Koran says ‘Peace is one of the God’s name. Those who seek
to please god
are assured of the sixteenth surah that they will be guided by him to the
‘paths of peace’ and according to Koran, God does not love fasad or violence.
This is action which results in disruption of the social system, causing huge losses in
terms of lives and property.

Religion is a faith that is observed by a
mass of people in their own special way. Muslim Festival Mohorram will be celebrated
Somewhere in Feb or March, it is the thought that gives rise that isn’t all roads
leading to Rome? God is one but to attain peace and purity, humans adopt different paths.
Muslims walk with the faith of Mohammed whatever their division be, the sunni or the
shites. The principles of truth lies with charity, generosity, love, unity with the Koran
preaching’s, the five pillars of Islam - Faith in Allah, Praying, five times a day,
Almsgiving, Keeping the Fast and Pilgrimage to Mecca. Mohammed once told his followers
when they returned from battle that ‘You have come back from lesser to greater
struggle’ On asking to elaborate the statement, he said ‘The greater struggle is
the struggle within’.
Mohorram marks the beginning of the Muslim
Year. It is primarily associated with the period of mourning observed in commemoration of
the martyrdom of ‘Ali’s son and Muhammad’s grandson Husain. Ali and his
elder son Hasan are also remembered during this period as having suffered and died for the
cause of righ-teousness. On the tenth day of Mohorram Husain was brutally murdered by
troops of the Ummayyad Caliph Yazid (d. A.D. 683) after having refused to take the oath to
him. He left Medina for Kufa in Iraq with followers of his women and children and close
relatives. As Husain and his following approached the plains of Karbala, they were
intercepted by Yazid’s troops under the command of ‘Ubaydullah, the governor of
Kufa. On the morning of the fatal day, 10th Mohorram, Husain fought bravely till he was
slain, the last on the battlefield. His violent death to this day awakens the sympathy of
the faithful who remember his martyrdom with sorrow and indignation. On New moon, people
assemble in imam bara (permanent meeting place) and recite fatihah, drinking sherbat or so
remembering Husain and inside the decorated imam, the tazias or tabuts are placed, wooden
structures with silver paper, colored paper and tinsel fringes. They are made with
imagination and artistic sense and are meant to represent Husain’s mausoleum. From
the seventh to the tenth of Mohorram, processions are held to commemorate the martyrdom of
Hasan’s son, Qasim, who was slain shortly after his wedding, as well as the martyrdom
of Husain. On the twelfth day, people sit up all night reading the Koran followed by act
of charity.
The Koran Fatiha ...this
one's a beautiful prayer....
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Praise belongs to God, Lord of all Being
the All-merciful, the All-compassionate
the Master of the Day of Doom
Thee only we serve; to Thee alone we pray for succor
Guide us in the straight path
the path of those whom Thou hast blessed,
not of those against whom Thou art wrathful
nor of those who are astray.

"Happy Ramzan - Happy EId"
HAJ at the Mount of Mercy 'Mount Arafat' in Saudi Arabia-More than 2 Million
Muslims from world gather once a year for holy Pilgrimage on the Arafat.
Under scorching heat, endless flow of pilgrims stayed until sundown on the
Arafat plain where the prophet Mohammed gave his last sermon 14 centuries
ago. The Pilgrims stay on the plain represent man's wait for the Last
Judgement. According to Islamic tradition, it is also the place where Adam
and Eve 'recognised' each other after being expelled from the Garden of
Eden. Pilgrim men wore two seamless pieces of white cloth symbolising
'Equality' while women were entirely covered except for their hands and
faces. Muslims scaled the rocky slopes as they listened to sermons and
chanted calls to prayer with the chant 'Here I am, Allah, responding to your
call, here I am, Allah, there is no other God but you'
KORAN (Quran)
The Koran (Reading) is
the one sacred scripture of Islam. Muslims believe that all 114 of its chapters called
suras, came to Mohammed as revelations of God in a dream by Gabriel. The Koran forms the
foundation stone of life in all Muslim lands. The word Islam means ‘submission’
(to the will of God). A Muslim is ‘one who submits’ who is guided in every daily
act by the word of God. Koran preaches man’s fate, judgments, rewards, and punishment
- Paradise & Hell. The true believer must honor his parents, help the poor, protect
orphans, be honorable and just in all dealings, avoid strong drink, pork and gambling and
be humble before Allah. Koran says ‘Peace is one of the God’s name. Those who
seek to please god are assured of the sixteenth surah that they will be guided by him to
the ‘paths of peace’ and according to Koran, God does not love fasad or
violence. This is action which results in disruption of the social system, causing huge
losses in terms of lives and property. |
 Lord’s
prayer of Islam - The first sura "the essence of Koran"
In the name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful!
Praise be to Allah, Lord
of the Worlds, the Beneficent, the Merciful, Ruler of the Day of Judgement,
Thee only we worship;
Thee alone we ask for help.Show us the straight path, The path of those whom thou hast
favored
Not of those who have
earned Thine anger nor of those who go astray.
Generosity & Love
Allah is All-Embracing,
All-Knowing. Those who spend their wealth for the cause of Allah and afterward make no
reproach nor let injury follow that which they have spent, their reward is with their
Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them, neither shall they grieve. A kind word with
forgiveness is better than almsgiving followed by injury. Allah is Absolute, Merciful. O
ye who believe! Do not render your almsgiving vain by injury and reproach, like him who
spends his wealth only to be seen and believes not in Allah and the Last day.
The Unity
In the name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful!
Say: He is Allah, the
One!
Allah, the eternally
Besought of all!
He Begetteth not nor was
begotten
And there is none
comparable unto him.
(Mohammed said :
"The Unity" was equal in value to a third part of the entire Koran)
Charity
Whatever alms ye spend or
vow ye vow, lo! Allah knoweth it. Wrongdoers have no helpers. If ye publish your
almsgiving, it is well, but if you hide it and give it to the poor, it will be better for
you, and will atone for some of your ill deeds. Allah is informed of what ye do.. |

MOSLEM FAITH
FAST OF RAMADAN - Little Bairam
The Ninth month of Moslem year is known as Ramadan when Mohammed is supposed to have
received his first revelations. In commemoration of this, Moslems fast from sunrise until
sunset during the month leading upto Mohammed’s "Night of Power" when
according to tradition Gabriel first told him of his mission. It is said that on this
"Night of Power" the gates of Paradise are open, the gates of Hell shut and the
devils in chains.
Mohammed had known of fasting by ascetic Jews and early Christians. The Ramadan fast lasts
entire month, but only during the daylight hours. "Eat and drink until so much of the
dawn appears that a white thread may be distinguished from a black. Then keep the fast
completely until night" says the Koran. The fast of Ramadan is the most carefully
observed of all religious duties by many moslems. Not only must they refrain from food and
drink between dawn and dark, but they must not commit any unworthy act. One lie can make a
day’s fast meaningless. The day is supposed to be spent in prayer and meditation.
Once the sunset gun has sounded, the feasting begins. And at the end of Ramadan comes
Little Bairam, a festival of good will and gift giving somewhat like Christmas in spirit.
BAKRI ID - Greater Bairam
Religion is a faith that is observed by a mass of people in their own special way. Muslim
Festival Bakri Id falls around March, it is the thought that gives rise that isn’t
all roads leading to Rome? God is one but to attain peace and purity, humans adopt
different paths. Muslims walk with the faith of Mohammed whatever their division be, the
sunni or the shites. The principles of truth lies with charity, generosity, love, unity
with the Koran preachings, the five pillars of Islam - Faith in Allah, Praying, five times
a day, Almsgiving, Keeping the Fast and Pilgrimage to Mecca. Mohammed once told his
followers when they returned from battle that ‘You have come back from lesser to
greater struggle’ On asking to elaborate the statement, he said ‘The greater
struggle is the struggle within’.
