Friday Prayer: This is What Muhammad Taught Me, Character Building

 

 

Zaid Shakir

 

 

“I have only been sent to perfect good manners” Who else but the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to be the model in which we shape our manners as Muslims for ourselves and the society. With the motto where manners make the person, learn how the teachings of the Prophet (pbuh) on building and perfecting our manners and character gets us a desired place in the Hereafter. The Prophet (pbuh) has said “I have been sent to perfect the best of morals” and with his wisdoms we can come from darkness to light spiritually, behaviorally, and through activism.

Duties of the People of Faith

 

 

Zaid Shakir, Hatem Bazian

 

 

Today, it's more important than ever that people remain united in the face of tyranny and evil. As Muslims, we're told to command the good, forbid the wrong and struggle for the cause of Allah (swt). This is a task that we must strive for in all aspects of our lives: as members of our families and communities, as students and as citizens. How did Rasulullah (sws) and his companions work for the common good, even in complex or difficult situations? Learn about our responsibilities as believers and how can we join with other people of faith in working for positive causes.

 

5:15pm-6:30pm

 

Be a Stranger

 

 

Mohktar Maghraoui, Umar Muzafar

 

 

Rasulullah (sws) advised the believer to live in the world as a "stranger or traveler". The wisdom in this advice can be difficult to understand, especially growing up in a society that tells us to "live it up". Learn more about the way in which Rasulullah (sws) lived as a "stranger" and how we can see the dunya for what it really is: temporary.

Love: The Foundation of Knowledge

 

 

Ayman Hammous, Altaf Husain

 

 

We know the stories of Rasulullah's life. We can tell you the names of his companions and the battles he fought in. We mention his name in our salahs. But have our hearts fallen in love with The Beloved? The pursuit of knowledge and the practice of Islam must be built on a foundation of love for Allah (swt) and his Messenger (sws). Learn about what it means to love Muhammed (sws) and how opening your heart is the key to opening your mind and perfecting your actions.

It's Never Too Late

 

 

Altaf Husain, Karen Danielson & Habeeb Quadri

 

 

We're all familiar with the rules in Islam for dealing with the opposite gender and do our best to abide by them. No judgment here, but many people have made mistakes.

The Wisdom in the Forbidden

 

 

Siraj Wahaj, Karen Danielson

 

 

We're told that an action is haram, but more often than not, we're not told why that is the case. Are there rules just for the sake of rules, to make our lives difficult? Of course not! Learn more about the wisdom behind what's forbidden in Islam and how the mercy of Allah (swt) is even found within the laws He has made for us.

Muhammad and his Companions. “Putting belief into action”

 

 

Siraj Wahhaj,  Mustafa Hosny (مصطفى حسني) & Kifah Mustapha

** with Live English Translation **

 

 

"You will be with those you love." (Al-Bukhari) The Muslims had never rejoiced as much they did when they heard this hadith. Let’s live these minutes in the company of Muhammad (pbuh) and his Companions (raa) exploring the true meaning of our “love” to them and how can we translate this love into actions which can raise up levels in the “Jannah” enjoying their company which we have been deprived of in the Dunia.

There is no God but God

 

 

Siraj Wahaj, Mir Rizwan Ali

Chicago Ballrooms VIII, IX

 

We say La Illaha Illalah many times throughout the day. We know what the Arabic words translate to but what does this statement mean to us in our everyday lives as Muslims? The Oneness of Allah (swt) is the only thing that truly matters and yet it is often times the idea we pay the least attention to. Reconnect with importance of this statement and feel your life begin to change.
