Eid E Ghadeer 1446 AHJune 14th 202518th Dhul Hijjah 1446 AH* Islam was completed and perfected through the announcement of Imamat at Ghadir, not just through prayers and fasting.* Allah revealed a verse commanding the Prophet to deliver this crucial message, promising divine protection against opposition.* The Prophet declared Ali as Mawla after announcing the perfection of religion and Allah's satisfaction with Islam as a complete system.* Many verses and narrations show that all acts of worship are invalid if done without accepting the rightful Imams.* Ghadir highlights that Wilāyat is not just love for Ali, but obedience and submission to his authority as appointed by Allah.* Islam's perfection relies on both Tawḥīd and acceptance of divine leadership through the Prophet's family.* Shayṭān's story shows that worship without obedience is worthless; he worshipped for thousands of years but refused to submit to Allah's choice.* Shayṭān believed in Allah and worshipped Him but failed the test of surrendering his pride when commanded to bow to Adam.* True Islam requires both belief in God and complete surrender to His chosen guides, preventing the mistakes of past nations.* Ghadir serves as a reminder and a test for Muslims to maintain Islam's complete form by upholding the Imamat.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

13th June 2025 - 'Jumuah Bayaan' with Maulana Athman Khan

Eid-ul-Adha 14469th Dhul Hijjah 1446June 6, 2025* Eid al-Adha commemorates Prophet Ibrāhīm's (a) success in fully submitting to God's will, highlighting that Islam means the struggle to surrender.* Ibrāhīm faced two key challenges in his final test: internal (love for his son) and external (Shayṭān trying to deter him three times).* The three pillars stoned at Mina represent these diversions by Shayṭān; on a deeper level, they symbolize the internal and external obstacles to submission.* The first pillar represents the evil within (nafs ammārah), the second represents devils among jinn, and the third symbolizes satanic human influences.* Ibrāhīm was victorious over Shayṭān because he had already purified his soul, fulfilling the verse “successful is he who purifies it.”* Eid al-Adha teaches us, even outside of ḥajj, to be vigilant against internal and external satanic forces.* On the first day in Mina, only the first pillar is stoned before sacrifice—showing that defeating one's own nafs is necessary to sacrifice sincerely.* Pilgrims throw 49 pebbles total across the days, symbolizing the 49 major sins in Islamic teachings—each pebble representing a dimension of evil.* We should self-reflect and identify at least seven negative traits to begin the path of spiritual purification.* While we celebrate Eid, we must not forget oppressed Muslims like those in Gaza, and we pray for the reappearance of the Mahdī to establish true justice.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Shahadat of 5th Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (AS)6th Dhul Hijjah 1446 AHJune 3rd, 2025* Imam Muḥammad al-Bāqir (a) was known for his depth of knowledge, as described by the Prophet (s): “he will dig out knowledge the way it should be.”* A narration highlights the Imām referencing the “Book of ʿAlī” as the most authentic source of knowledge, emphasizing divine revelation through Jibrāʾīl.* In a hadith, the Imām categorized actions into four groups: ladders of good deeds, penalties for sins, major sins, and elements of salvation.* Good deeds include initiating salām, feeding others (especially the needy), and praying at night when others are asleep.* Penalties that erase sins include doing wuḍūʾ in cold weather, walking to congregational prayers, and maintaining regular prayers.* Major sins include obeying greed, following one's desires, and self-conceit or arrogance—each warned against in the Qur'an.* Elements of salvation are fearing Allah in private and public, being moderate in wealth or poverty, and speaking justly in pleasure or anger.* Imam al-Bāqir (a) was poisoned in early Dhul Ḥijjah by the ruling powers who, after Karbala, resorted to covert assassination of the Imams.* As his wafāt neared, he asked that women recite marsiya for him in Mina for ten years, linking his memory to the tragedy of Karbala.* Imam al-Bāqir was five at Karbala and never forgot the trauma; he is buried beside his father in Baqīʿ, and his demolished shrine remains a cause of grief for believers.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

It means that in Sufism, we human beings are lovers, the divine is beloved and to love the divine, we need to connect back to the essence of life and understand that we and the world are one. Sufism has given the world some of its brightest minds and poets and one of those people is known as Maulana, Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī, arguably the best Sufi poet in history. Rumi, a Persian scholar at first, then a Mystic, has written many illustrious poems depicting love and its central role as the bridge to reach the divine; poems that are engraved in the literature books for eternity. His brilliance caught the eyes of people since his childhood. His father, a famous scholar back then, had personally taken the responsibility of teaching him. He deepened his knowledge at a very young age and after the death of his father, he was destined to succeed him as a scholar. But Rumi wanted to learn more, so he connected with another brilliant teacher named Al Tarmithi and a few years later, his teacher left him because he considered that he had nothing left to teach his student, Rumi was now a complete scholar. Rumi was adored by his followers and when he held assemblies, he had a large crowd as attendees. However, life and the divine had other plans for him. In 1244, Rumi encountered Shams Tabrizi, a traveling Sufi dervish who changed his core understanding of life. Rumi became so fond of Shams that he neglected his students and his family and spent days and nights with him, all to grasp the essence of pure love and how to express it to reach the divine. Rumi turned from a Scholar to a Sufi poet who sang for love, danced in circles, which is now called Sufi whirling or the whirling dervish, and wrote poems that are still relevant today continuing to have a deep influence.

Yaum-e-Gham 1446 AHEve of 12th Shawwal 1446 AHThursday April 10th 2025- The destruction of Jannatul Baqi took place on 8 Shawwāl 1343 (2 May 1925) by the Wahhabis, targeting the graves of the Ahlul Bayt, companions, and others in Medina. - Wahhabi ideology sees respect shown at graves as shirk, failing to differentiate between worship and reverence. - If not for fear of global backlash, Wahhabis might have demolished the Prophet's grave and incorporated it into the mosque. - A fatwa from Wahhabi scholars states that prayer in a mosque containing a grave is invalid, and graves must be exhumed and relocated. - The Qur'an shows that expressions of humility, like bowing or prostrating, are not inherently acts of worship. - ‘Ibādat (worship) is defined as humility expressed toward someone believed to be God, true or false. - Prostration (sajdah) was commanded by Allah to the angels for Prophet Ādam and done by Ya‘qūb and his sons for Prophet Yūsuf, proving it's not always worship. - Building shrines or visiting graves of righteous figures is not worship but an expression of respect and love. - No Muslim visits the graves of the Prophet or Imams with the intention of worshipping them—rather, it is a spiritual connection. - Despite the light and glory of shrines in Najaf, Karbala, Kazimayn, Samarrah, and Mashhad, Baqi remains desolate—yet the love for the Ahlul Bayt continues through remembrance and grief, especially for Sayyida Fatima.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

- Emphasizing reading and interacting with the Qur'ān. - “Interacting” means engaging deeply, as shown in Sermon 193 of Imām ‘Ali (a). - Hammām asked Imām to describe the pious; Imām eventually listed 105 qualities. - The pious live with constant awareness of Allāh, Paradise, and Hell. - They recite the Qur'ān thoughtfully, moved by verses of hope and fear. - Hammām was so affected he passed away; Imām noted the power of sincere advice. - Shi‘as are commemorating Jannatul Baqi‘, the cemetery of the Prophet's family. - Wahhabis oppose ziyārat, calling it grave worship. - Qur'ān 9:84 forbids praying at a hypocrite's grave, implying it's allowed for believers.Friday Juma KhutbaApril 11th, 2025Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Gratitude is key to spiritual growth. • The Qur'ān was revealed in this month, making it a time for deepening our connection with it beyond just recitation. • The Qur'ān provides guidance at different levels, from general guidance for all to specific guidance for believers, the righteous, and the good-doers. • Strive to elevate your faith, moving from being a Muslim to a mu'min, then to a muttaqi, and finally a muḥsin. • Follow the Ahlul Bayt as role models in both faith and action, as they exemplify the Qur'ān in their lives. • Iḥsān (excellence in faith) is described in Qur'ān 3:133-134 and includes charity, patience, and forgiveness. • Be charitable in all situations—give from whatever you have and support those suffering, including in Gaza and Lebanon. • Control your anger, especially when you have the power to retaliate; true strength lies in restraint and patience. • Forgive others so that Allāh may forgive you—learn from Imām Zaynul ‘Ābidin, who freed his maid when reminded of Qur'ānic teachings on kindness. • Move from simply reading the Qur'ān to truly living by its teachings in your daily life.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

23rd Ramadan 1446 AHMarch 22nd 2025- The last ten nights of Ramadan, particularly the 19th, 21st, and 23rd, are significant because Laylatul Qadr occurs during this time, a night worth more than a thousand months.- Laylatul Qadr is linked to the Quran's revelation, marking a personal honor for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and an important annual event.- The Quran was revealed gradually over 22 years, with its complete revelation (Inzaal) on Laylatul Qadr.- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was unschooled (ummi), which challenges the notion that he learned the Quran from other sources.- Despite living in a region with limited interaction with Jews or Christians, no one accused the Prophet of learning the Quran from outside influences.- A brief encounter between the Prophet and a Christian monk during his childhood in Damascus is sometimes misused to claim the Prophet learned from him, but it is not a strong basis for this theory.- While the Quran shares some stories with the Bible, such as those of past Prophets, the Quran's unique details distinguish its accounts from those in other scriptures.- The Quran recognizes the Torah and the Gospel as previous revelations but also acknowledges that these scriptures were altered over time.- For example, the story of Pharaoh's drowning in the Red Sea is expanded in the Quran with the unique detail of Pharaoh's body being preserved, which isn't mentioned in the Bible.- The authenticity of the Quran is proven through its divine origin and preservation, refuting claims that the Prophet plagiarized from other sources.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Maulana Rashidi Turns Modi Fan - Votes for BJP | Sanjay Dixit

The Waqf, or endowments, is an age-old Islamic method of supplying public services. Throughout Islamic history, this third space enabled entrepreneurs and the monied to donate to causes that would multiply their reward. Many of the key services from health to education in history were funded by this method and it became a model of giving, emulated by many Westerners. Oxford University, it is said, built its endowment structure on the Waqf model.But what is a Waqf, and why do many call for its reintroduction today? My guest believes in this forgotten sunnah, and has set up an organisation the National Waqf. Maulana Tahir Talati heads the National Waqf, an organisation looking to revive the practice of Awqaf.Let me remind all viewers that to help us continue to engage critical thought at this time, Please consider becoming a Patron. https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslimYou can also support The Thinking Muslim through a one-time donation: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/DonateListen to the audio version of the podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comPurchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merchFind us on:Patron. https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslimTwitter: https://twitter.com/thinking_muslimFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslimBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thinkingmuslim.bsky.socialHost: https://twitter.com/jalalaynWebsite Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.comTimestamps 0:00 – Introduction2:08 – What is Waqf?3:41 – Purpose of Waqf5:04 – Waqf vs Zakat7:19 - Different Waqfs20:19 – Role of state28:01– Reliance on Waqf29:47 – Islamic economists and Waqf31:10 – Generating funds37:10 – Waqf Political fund47:08 - National Waqf org51:43 – National Waqf structure Hosted on Acast.
