Hijri Calendar or Islamic Calendar – Muslim Calendar

Hijri calendar or Islamic calendar is based on the year prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his fellow Muslims (known as Sahabah, the Companions) emigrated to Madinah in the year 622 C.E. (Christian Era). The Hijri calendar or Islamic calendar is lunar. The emigration took place after thirteen years of persecutions by the disbelievers of Makkah. By the command of God, the Prophet left the city with his companion Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A.) and escaped a death threat by the disbelievers. The event marks the beginning of a second phase of the Islamic movement. It is the phase when Madinah became the center of an Islamic state.

The Hijri calendar or Islamic calendar is lunar. Each month must begin with the evening when the new moon is sight able by the unaided naked eye. Muslims are obligated to sight the crescent in every country. Different countries may begin the year at different days based on their own sightings. The calendar is called Hijri calendar. The Arabic word Hijrah means emigration. Read More »

Reading The Holy Quran – Manners When Reading Quran

Etiquette When Reading The Holy Quran

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “The most excellent worship before me is recitation of the Qur’an.”

In another narration about Reading The Holy Quran:

‘The hearts gather rust like iron!’, declared the Prophet ﷺ.

The Companions رضي الله عنهم enquired, ‘O Prophet of Allah ﷺ! How can it be removed?’

He ﷺ replied, ‘Through recitation of the Qur’an and the remembrance of death.’

Manners Of The Heart

A. UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORIGIN OF THE WORDS

This is an indication to the greatness of the words being read, and the bounty of Allah; Glorified is He, to His creation when He addressed His creation with these words.

B. PUTTING INTO THE HEART THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THESE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF MAN

Through this the reader should think about the characteristics of Allah the Exalted.

C. PRESENCE OF THE HEART WHILE READING

Through this the reader should throw away other thoughts while reading the Qur’an. Read More »
